I recently switched from Linux to Windows 8 consumer preview. I have installed the latest android SDK including the Google USB driver. I connect my Nexus S to the laptop, the phone goes into USB debugging mode. But Eclipse doesn't detect it. if I do >adb devices, the phone doesn't show up. Please help!
Try this: find the .android folder in your home directory, and replace the adb_usb.ini file with this one. this tells your computer to let adb work with a load of different usb devices. You may need to restart ADB via the command line:
and now adb should show you your device
Try to edit adb_usb.ini and add your device id you can find it by going to the device manager find the "Android ADB Interface" double click on it go to the details tab, and on the "Property" drop down menu select "Hardware Ids" on the box below it labeled "Values" You should see something like "USB\VID_2207&PID_0010&MI_01" The numbers maybe different based on your device vendor id, for example my vendor id is "2207" No open the adb_usb.ini located on the folders below and add your device id in hex format
for example my device id is "2207" I'll put it there as "0x2207"
It is usually located in
But if the folder doesnt exist try to create it by using cmd. And if the file adb_usb.ini also doesnt exist you can create it using notepad and only pasting only your device id and save it on the .android folder.
Try a powered USB hub. My (Win7) work laptop refuses to connect to my Samsung S2 except through the powered USB hub in the monitor.

KILLEEN (October 5, 2012)--A Killeen man pleaded guilty Thursday in federal court in Waco to burglary of a habitation on Fort Hood.
U.S. District Judge Walter S. Smith, Jr., set Norris Dupard, Jr., for sentencing on Nov. 28 at 1 p.m.
A federal affidavit says on Jan. 18 Dupard entered an unoccupied barracks room at Fort Hood and took a Mac Book Pro laptop, a gaming system, an LED television, several items of jewelry, clothes and two olive drab army laundry bags.
FBI Special Agent Daniel W. Chadwick said while checking different law enforcement databases over a two week period, military police learned the stolen laptop had been pawned at First Cash Pawn in Killeen, the television had been pawned at Action Pawn #1 in Killeen, and the XBOX had been pawned at Cash Pawn #7 in Killeen.
After agents identified Dupard as the suspect, they searched his room at a Killeen motel and found jewelry and clothes belonging to the victim, along with an olive drab army laundry bag with the victim's name on it.

I am trying to implement Facebook into my app to allow things like sending stuff to the user's wall, updating status', etc.
So after downloading the stuff I was told to get a key using the keystore file. I decided to be brave and create my own keystore file (for publishing stuff later) and did so successfully.
After creating the file though I am having all sorts of problems trying to retreieve a key from it, i entered the command via keytool/command prompt and it asked me for my keystore password...
After entering the password i set in the first place, I am getting nothing but wierd ascii symbols and letters and my keystore details also in the middle of it. What is going wrong??
UPDATE: Ok, I am aware you may need to use OpenSSL to display the text correctly. I have installed OpenSSL but how do I use it to get the Hash code?

Columbia College-Freeport business administration majors scored in the 90th percentile nationwide on the Major Field Test (MFT) in Business. The test, developed by the Educational Testing Service, was administered in early December to students in the capstone business course as part of Columbia College's ongoing effort to evaluate the effectiveness of its curriculum.
Seventy-five percent of the students scored above the national norm. Four students scored in the 95th percentile: Brian Boeke, Randy Crandall, Jos Schwab, and Robin Walton.
"We have long known that we have excellent students and a quality program, but these results further validate that knowledge," said Pete Willging, Columbia College-Freeport director. "We also want to acknowledge the efforts of Highland Community College faculty, as many of our students have taken core business courses at HCC, where they received excellent instruction." The MFT is a nationally normed exam for various academic disciplines that was administered to nearly 9,000 students in 182 colleges last fall.
Columbia College, founded in Columbia, Missouri in 1851, established a community college partnership campus with HCC in 1996. Columbia College provides accredited, affordable, undergraduate and graduate degrees for working adults, serving 25,000 students worldwide.

Is there a way to change the color of display of an event in Google Calendar like MS Outlook allow you to do with it's category ?
In the web interface, on the left there's a list of your calendars. Each has an arrow that reveals a dropdown menu. In there, you can select a new color.
Note that this won't necessarily be reflected on other devices like iPhones.
Also note, where you see 'category' in Outloook, read 'calendar' in google calendar. it doesn't have the concept of categories. Just create a new calendar.

WEIRTON - Weirton Medical Center has unveiled a new tool in the fight against breast cancer.
This week, WMC rolled out its Digital Breast Tomosynthesis technology, which provides the latest in 3D mammography. It is only the third hospital in the state to have such technology at its disposal, according to hospital officials.
Tomo mammography allows physicians a layer by layer view of the breast tissue which can provide a clearer image of the tissue and distinguish superimposed tissue from real abnormalities.

Thus, the technology decreases the need for further examinations and may also find smaller cancers at earlier stages, officials explained.
"What makes this technology so exciting is that we, as radiologists, will be able to view more vivid mammograms and view the breast layer by layer, resulting in greater detail and significantly fewer call-backs," radiologist Dr. Eric Balzano said.
Hospital officials explained the new technology will be a major asset for Weirton Medical's BreastCare Team, which includes Balzano, breast surgeon Dr. Carol Slomski, general surgeon Dr. Venkata Kella, general surgeon Dr. John Mitchell and plastic surgeon Dr. Craig Oser, as well as a staff of mammography technologists with the latest training.
"We are very excited to offer the latest in the fight against breast cancer," WMC Communication Director Kelli McCoy said. "This is just another major investment in the community that promotes a healthier Weirton-Steubenville-Route 22 Corridor. We are thrilled to have it here."

Does anyone use a charcoal grill on a wood deck?
We've always had the grill on the patio, but because of putting on a new addition and a new deck, and having old knees that don't want to do the current steps, we want to put the grill on the deck. If you have one, do you put anything under it? Does it cause any problems with embers or staining?
13 Answers answer
I used to use portable gas and charcoal grills on (mostly redwood) picnic tables with a heat shield I made from titainium alloy (timet) backed by about 3/4" of wood panelling in a frame that kept it all together. The frame was about ten inches longer and wider than the largest of the grills I used it with. I'd periodically soak the wood panelling in water.
The tables were never damaged and I used it on a plastic table (with a metal frame) a few times, also without damage.
You can use sheet metal if you cannot get titainium alloy (my father worked in the aerospace industry so I had it laying around).
Purchase a grill mat. Target has them for about $17 as well as most of the home DIY stores and Cabela's.
We also have a grill mat. Been using it and our grill on the deck since April with no issues.
My dad has his grill on the wood deck with no protection whatsoever. It's been like that since 1994 with no incidents yet, but I wouldn't recommend his method :)
I've used charcoal on a wooden deck before with no problems at all.
I've done it in the past, but it is illegal in my current location: if the police (or nosy neighbors) see you the fine can be up to $1000.
Haven't grilled myself, and this is not really answering your question, but be careful. I, of course, know nothing about the setup of your deck, but the general rule is that you have to be at least 15 ft away from any part of your house or roof to avoid possibly setting the house on fire. We've had a lot of house fires in my area recently because of people grilling too close. (Which is why it annoys me that so many decks I've seen recently are built by licensed contractors with "grilling areas" basically in a corner right next to the house) [/rant]
Worth looking into the city ordinances. In Atlanta, you can have an open-flame grill on your deck if it's a single-family dwelling, but not if it's a condo. Then it has to be, as @kalira mentioned, x-number of feet away from the building.
Your mileage may vary.
As previously mentioned, play it safe and use a grill mat. Very inexpensive fire insurance.
I have a firepit on my wood deck. The belly of it is only about 8" from the deck. The first time we lit it up I kept checking the heat underneath, but the deck stayed relatively cool, comfortable to the touch. My deck is painted white (it has that fancy solar reflective coating that keeps it cool) and we have used the firepit many times and it has left no mark on the deck. Of course it is never left unattended.
@lavikinga: I saw them at Big Lots yesterday, I think they were $8.
@moondrake: Thank you, and I'm OFF to Big Lots!
Thanks for everyone's input. Now, one more question. Those of you who use pads or metal or whatever, does your deck stay wet underneath it after a rain? Just wondering how that affects the wood. Also, for others reading this, many of the mats say "for gas grills only," so beware.

Pilates for beginners — is that an oxymoron? Not at all. Pilates isn't just for fitness fiends. Pilates is an accessible way to build strength in your core muscles for better posture, balance and flexibility. If you're considering a Pilates class for beginners, here's what you need to know before you head to the gym.
Pilates is a method of exercise that consists of low-impact flexibility and muscular strength and endurance movements. Pilates emphasizes use of the abdominals, lower back, hips and thighs. Pilates is named for its creator, Joseph Pilates, who developed the exercises in the early 1900s.
A Pilates routine typically includes 25 to 50 repetitive strength training exercises. Pilates is similar to calisthenics, such as situps and pushups. In fact, some people call Pilates the ultimate form of calisthenics.
It's a common misconception that Pilates is only for serious athletes or professional dancers. While these groups first adopted Pilates, they aren't the only ones who can benefit from this approach to strength training.
Another common misperception is that Pilates requires specialized equipment. Indeed, when you think of Pilates you probably picture the reformer, an apparatus that resembles a bed frame with a sliding carriage and adjustable springs, or the cadillac, a type of trapeze table. The reality is that many Pilates exercises can be done on the floor with just a mat.
By practicing Pilates regularly, you can achieve a number of health benefits, including:
If you are older than age 40, haven't exercised for some time or have health problems, it's a good idea to check with your doctor before starting any new exercise program. Pilates is no exception. Similarly, women who are pregnant should check with their health care providers before starting Pilates.
Pilates can be adapted to provide a gentle strength training and stability program or a challenging workout for seasoned athletes.
Pilates may not be recommended or may need to be modified for individuals who have the following:
Because it's essential to maintain the correct form to get the most benefit — and to avoid injuries — beginners should start out under the supervision of an experienced Pilates instructor.
The Pilates Guild offers referral services for certified instructors and provides Pilates instruction and certification. Its certification program includes classroom instruction and experiential training. Participants must complete a 600-hour apprenticeship, during which they observe and practice Pilates, assist a certified instructor, teach under direct supervision and pass a certifying examination.
To find a certified instructor in your area, check with local gyms or YMCAs. Ask the following questions of any Pilates instructor you're considering:
If you're a healthy adult, your weekly exercise routine should include:
Pilates can be a good strength training workout, but it isn't aerobic exercise. You'll need to supplement it with aerobic exercises, such as brisk walking, running, biking or swimming.

DTrace Deep Dive in Boston this Week!
By Josh Simons on Feb 01, 2010
Jim Mauro will be doing a two-hour deep dive on DTrace at this week's NEOSUG (New England OpenSolaris Users Group) meeting. And Shannon Sylvia from Northeastern University will give a talk on using LDOMs and ZFS. The NEOSUG meeting will be held in two locations with the same agenda -- pick the date and location that works best for you. And please do RSVP so we have a rough head count. See below for details.
Where and When:
- Tues Feb 2nd, 6-9pm, Sun Microsystems Burlington Campus, One Network Drive, Burlington, MA
- Wed Feb 3rd, 6-9pm, Boston University, Electrical and Computer Engineering Department Photonics Center -- Room PHO 339, 8 Saint Mary's Street, Boston, MA 02215
Registration Required: RSVP to Linda Wendlandt: lwendlandt at cptech.com
6:00-6:20: Registration, Pizza and Beverages
6:20-6:30: Introductions: Peter Galvin, CTO, Corporate Technologies
6:30-8:30: Solaris Dynamic Tracing - DTrace – Jim Mauro, Principal Engineer, Sun Microsystems
8:30-9:00: LDOM Domains and ZFS: An example of creating a ZFS bootable root LDOM domain using jumpstart - Shannon Sylvia, Sysadmin, Northeastern University
9:00 Q&A and Discussion
Also we'll be giving out official NEOSUG T-Shirts and other trinkets, and copies of the OpenSolaris CD and instruction manual.
The Talks:
Solaris Dynamic Tracing – Dtrace
DTrace is a revolutionary observability tool introduced in Solaris 10, and currently available in all Solaris 10 releases, OpenSolaris, Mac OS X 10.5 and FreeBSD 7.2. DTrace provides unprecedented observability of the kernel and the entire application software stack without requiring code modifications. It is completely dynamic, and introduces zero probe effect when no DTrace probes are enabled.
This talk will introduce the basic components of DTrace - Providers, Probes, Predicates, The D Language, Actions and Subroutines and DTrace variables. We will then dive into examples of DTrace one-liners and scripts that demonstrate the use of DTrace of understanding and root-causing system and application performance issues.
Jim Mauro is a Principal Engineer in Sun Microsystems Systems Group, where he focuses on performance of volume commercial workloads on Sun technology. Jim co-authored Solaris Internals (1s Ed), Solaris Internals (2nd Ed), Solaris Performance and Tools (1st Ed) and is currently working on a DTrace book.
LDOM Domains and ZFS: An example of creating a ZFS bootable root LDOM domain using jumpstart
Using Version 10.1009 of Sun Solaris on a SPARC T5120 with LDOM 1.2, Shannon Sylvia creates guest domains that are each independent of each other. Each guest domain contains its own separately configured operating system and its own virtual disks. Using a "cookbook" approach, new guest domains can be easily added and configured, or removed without affecting the control domain or any of the other guest domains. Each domain is created using ZFS as the root, bootable volume. Shannon will provide examples on how the control domain, the jumpstart/boot server, and the guest domains should be configured.
Shannon Sylvia has 15+ years experience as a Unix Systems Administrator. She is responsible for installing and maintaining Solaris, AIX, and Linux at Northeastern University. In addition, she is an adjunct professor at Northeastern University's College of Professional Studies. She has a strong interest in IT in the health field, and has recently completed 2 1/2 years of nursing school and clinicals. She is currently involved in volunteer work including Salesforce and website development. She earned a bachelor's degree in Computer Science from National University, a bachelor's degree in English from San Diego State University, and a Master's Degree in Computer Information Systems from Boston University.

Volunteer honored for efforts behind the scenes
The Wellsburg Applefest Committee carried on its tradition of dedicating each year's festival to a strong supporter of the event with its recognition of Bill Konkle.
Konkle has coordinated the festival's Apple Pie Bake-off, which in recent years was re-dubbed the Everything Apple Contest to allow a variety of apple-based dishes to be entered.
Michael O'Brien, who co-chairs the Applefest with Ernie Jack, noted Konkle has lent his time to many causes, including the Top of West Virginia Convention and Visitors Bureau board of directors, through which he has headed up the Discover Brooke County event to showcase goods and services offered by Brooke County businesses for seven years.
Konkle also has been involved with the Brooke AARP Chapter, serving as president for nine years; the Wellsburg High School Alumni Association, of which he has been vice president; Brooke-Hancock-Ohio-Marshall Retired and Senior Volunteer Program and Wellsburg Christian Church.
For his service he has received many honors, including Wellsburg Chamber of Commerce Citizen of the Year for 2007 and the Robert W. Jackson Distinguished Service Award from the West Virginia Bureau of Senior Services in 2011.
The retired grocer and meatcutter said he was very surprised to be recognized by the Applefest Committee.
Konkle added he has "enjoyed working with the Applefest very much. It's a good bunch of people and he (O'Brien) has worked very hard on this."

Many good questions generate some degree of opinion based on expert experience, but answers to this question will tend to be almost entirely based on opinions, rather than facts, references, or specific expertise.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
There is no need to add suport for multiple languages, a solution would be to standardize on a generic bytecode that could be used by language implementors. But there is currently no plans for this (it's been suggested).
Languages can be implemented on top of Javascript too. Javascript is good enough to allow other languages to be implemented on top of it. And there are many examples of this already.
JavaScript is the de-facto standard and has been since 1996. Being a standard simply because there is no competition isn't exactly fair, but I haven't heard a lot of complaining about why there isn't another language included.
Adding another "standard" language promotes all sorts of fun little issues.
Browsers have to be standardised, so that what you develop works everywhere, on all browsers.
If you have multiple languages kicking about, then you have to ensure that they all perform very similarly. If you are a web developer and you have a choice of languages, which may or may not be supported in some locations, then that is an additional headache.
Instead of building these into browsers, vendors like to build clunky browser plug-ins - Java, Flash, Silverlight, etc. This guarantees cross-platform consistency.
There are several responses here which claim that supporting multiple languages would make it very odious for builders of web browsers to ensure they're compliant with all the languages. To me this seems incorrect.
Other Advantages:
I believe JavaScript is going to gain even more ground as the standard language for the Web. We're seeing a rise in server-side JavaScript. Here are some examples of implementations of this powerful language on the server:
What many of these implementations and frameworks demonstrate is that JavaScript is becoming such a powerful force in Web development that community leaders have already started moving JavaScript to the server. JavaScript is an extremely powerful functional programming language, and as time goes on I feel we will see it evolve.
In summary, it seems like a contradiction to port the other languages to the browser when instead we can port this single browser language to the server and bridge that gap in a more unified manner.
There are several examples of tools which will compile other languages to javascript, including Haskel, Lisp and Python (Probably others). So if you want to work in one of those languages you can do so.
And I think one of my professors from university wrote a scheme implementation in Javascript. So if you like scheme you can do that too.
People have worked around the lack of built-in variety in two ways: using plugins like flash or java applets, and building layers that sort of use javascript as their "machine code", like jquery or google web toolkit. If there was a new development style popular enough, people would find a way to get it in.
Just be aware if you make a .net runtime in javascript, and it ever becomes popular, certain circles will curse your name on the internet forevermore.

Sencha Touch Powered Flight Training App
I partnered with my brother-in-law (a pilot), and we just released an app for pilots of the EMB 145 jet. It's built on top of my flash card engine to help them learn the plane's limitations. Apparently this is a big deal for pilots. We're going to be adding more planes in the near future.
Check out EMB 145 Limitations on the android market:
There's also an EMB 145 Lite (Free) version:
My only complaint with Sencha Touch at the moment is the flicker that happens sometimes. You can see it in my app occasionally (okay, a lot) as you move to the previous/next question.
Other apps I created using Sencha Touch + PhoneGap:
.NET Interview Preparation
.NET Interview Prep Lite (Free):
None of my apps are in the apple app store yet, but they will be soon.
Dave Haynes
15 Sep 2011 8:46 PM #2
Nice work, Dave! These apps should prove helpful to people who want to study.
Be sure to let us know whenever you have new app store links. Also, do you have any of your apps available on the Web?
16 Sep 2011 4:29 AM #3
Thanks, Jay. I don't have any sencha touch powered websites yet. I'm a bit hesitant to do that, though, as I don't want to cut out the IE users.
I just got my .NET Interview app approved for the app store yesterday (iPhone and iPad). It's the first one I've tried on there, but the EMB 145 Limitations will be next. I wanted to go through the process once.
For anyone who's curious, it took almost exactly one week for it to go from Waiting for Review to Ready for Sale.
.NET Interview Prep Flash Cards: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/.net-...on/id464280545
I've had a few little issues with Sencha Touch, but nothing major; I've still been recommending it to folks.
Here are my issues, though:
- I could never successfully load my local xml file using sencha touch. I had to use jQuery for that.
- The checkbox labels were not clickable, so I got lazy and used a jQuery selector to find the checkbox label and attach a click event to it that toggled the checkbox.
- There's a white flash as I move between cards. I read somewhere on the forums here that the issue has been fixed in the latest versions of sencha touch, but as a non-premium subscriber i don't have access to it.
- This is a weird one, but my "Show Answer" button was just a button sitting outside of a toolbar, and it would sometimes not show up at all in the iOS version. I couldn't figure out what exactly was going on, but doing a transition to show the next question "fixed" it. So for the iOS version, there's a little quick transition as it goes to the previous/next question. (I didn't do the transitions on the Android because they didn't look very good. iOS can handle them, though.)
All in all, I'm very pleased with Sencha Touch. Here's a blog post I wrote detailing my sales numbers thus far in the Android Market: http://shoveitfizzbuzz.com/2011/09/sometimes-developers-just-need-to-be-licked/
Oh, one more thing. I got a compliment on the ui of my app, but if you're on the Sencha Design Team, then maybe that compliment should have gone to you. :-)
16 Sep 2011 10:05 AM #4
Dave, I've forwarded your issues to our Touch Dev team. I think you'll be very excited when you play with the upcoming beta of Touch 2.0.
As to the UI of Sencha Touch, all praise goes to David Kaneda (@davidkaneda) and his magical Sass skills.
I enjoyed the blog post. It's great to see that you're succeeding with Sencha Touch.
23 Sep 2011 7:48 PM #5
All four aforementioned apps are now listed in the Sencha Touch App Gallery: http://www.sencha.com/apps/emb-145-limitations/
See the "Other apps by this developer" section. We're working on developer pages with respective apps.

7 Amazing (Yet Uninspiring) Feats of Human Endurance
Every now and then you hear about some mega man who does a marathon a day for half a year, or a bionic lady who freakin' swims an ocean. Well, this list isn't about those kind of people.
This list is about the people who put the same kind of time, dedication and money into absolutely pointless acts of worthlessness.
#7. Most Piercings in 24 Hours
You've all seen those guys, the ones who look like a cross between a human and a medieval weapon. Their faces are completely covered with rings, studs and spikes, setting off every store alarm in the mall and causing nearby children to run away in fear.
Those guys have nothing on Kam Ma. Back in 2006, Ma figured he just wasn't famous or metallic enough for his tastes, and decided to kill two birds with one stone. He located a tattoo artist, Charlie Wilson and, on March 4, 2006, the pair set out to break the world record for most piercings in 24 hours. They succeeded, at a staggering 1,055 piercings in just under eight hours.
Ma, apparently not wanting to waste time on ridiculous things like preventing pain, took every one of the piercings without anesthetic, making himself as figuratively metal as he is now literally metal. When the smoke had cleared, Ma found himself with 600 new rings all along his legs and arms. For those of you keeping score, that's significantly fewer rings than there were holes put in him. Apparently, in addition to the decorating job, Wilson decided to put another 455 holes in Ma's body just for the hell of it.
Not surprisingly, this record has not yet been successfully challenged by anybody, as all the viable candidates are probably locked up in padded cells somewhere. Ma achieved and maintained his goal of being a world-record holder, as well as the auxiliary goals of looking like an incomplete cyborg and never being able to wear a jacket again.
#6. Achieving the Perfect Pac-Man Score
If you've ever sunk way too much time into completing a video game, or grinding for a particular item in World of Warcraft, you can at least feel better about yourself (or worse, depending on your level of addiction) for not being this guy. Billy Mitchell, known for being the "King of Kong," is also the first person to ever get the highest possible score in Pac-Man, at 3,333,360 points, handily beating our score of "fuck these fucking ghosts, I quit."
"Work is more fun than this."
Mitchell set the record on July 3, 1999, after coming out of a 14-year retirement so he could focus on things like college and girls. In order to get this perfect score, he had to eat every pellet, fruit and blue ghost on the screen for every level. All two-hundred fifty-six of them.
Mitchell described the task as "tremendously monotonous," which sounds about right to us, since after you complete level 20, you're playing the exact same level over 200 times in a row. Four hours into his attempt, which is about three hours after we would have broken down crying and screaming for mercy, he "realized I still had 100 boards to go," at which point his soul probably curled up and died, Pac-Man-style.
It may have even made that sound.
So why did Mitchell come out of retirement and spend hundreds of torturous, monotonous hours chasing this obscure milestone? Was there a monetary reward, or perhaps the promise of fame outside of the realm of video game nerds? No, it was for America. A group of Canadians started going for the perfect score in 1998, and the apparently all-American Mitchell would have none of it. He quickly took to the arcade in order to "put [the Canadians] in their place." A place where they... don't spend as much time playing Pac-Man? Go visit them there, Billy.
#5. Visiting Every Starbucks in the World
This man is Rafael Antonio Lozano, Jr., although he prefers to go by his new name "Winter." We prefer to call him "Clinically Insane," because for the past 12 years, C.I. Winter has been absorbed in a quest of epic and stupid proportions: to have a coffee from every single Starbucks on Earth.
Good luck, brother.
Seriously, do you realize how many Starbucks there are? Have you even been to all of the ones in your city?
Well according to his his website, Winter has visited 8,540 stores in the U.S. and Canada with only 23 to go, while he's had drinks at 1,406 stores in other countries. He's traveled all over the world, and as of last year he had spent over $100,000 on his quest. Oh, and he refers to it as "Starbucking," which is one of those cases where it seems wholly unnecessary to invent a verb to describe an activity no one else is doing but you.
He says his quest is being made more difficult by the fact that, due to the global recession, Starbucks has started closing many of their stores. He now considers himself to be in a "race against time," because apparently visiting 12,000 coffee shops around the world just isn't enough for this go-getter.
#4. Typing One to 1,000,000
Marva Drew was a good mother, and anyone who said anything to the contrary could just go to hell. So when her young son came home from school and said that his teacher told the class that it was impossible to count to a million, she took action. After all, it was 1968. First you get kids thinking they can't count ridiculously high for no reason, then you have kids getting ridiculously high for no reason, then you have the collapse of Western Society.
Well, Marva Drew wasn't going to stand for it. She was going to show the world that you COULD count from one to one million. But Guinness World Records usually likes some sort of proof, and "I promise I thought them all in my head" wasn't going to fly with those eggheads. So, like anyone else in the 1960s on a mission, Marva sat down at her typewriter and began typing. She typed for the next SIX YEARS. The result was almost 2,500 pages full of numbers.
And because there wasn't anything important happening in the 1970s--nothing like a Presidential impeachment or war or gas shortages or anything urgent like that--newspapers actually started following her progress. Drew completed her book and was almost a world record holder. She just missed the itty bitty detail of having a witness to her six years of riveting typing.
Though if somebody had sat down to watch every minute of that, we're thinking they should probably get the recognition instead.

The States of Foreclosure
Housing prices stabilize when lenders can enforce contracts.
One reason for optimism in the New Year is the housing market, which continues to heal despite the weak economic recovery. Case-Shiller, Lender Processing Services and other data trackers are reporting recoveries in many regions. Even more noteworthy is that the rebound is strongest in states that let lenders enforce contracts.
We're referring to the difference between "nonjudicial" states that have streamlined foreclosure procedures and the 23 "judicial" states that force lenders to go to court to enforce mortgage contracts. Prices are stabilizing in the former but still faltering in much of the latter, which isn't surprising, except to politicians. Housing markets can't clear until lenders can foreclose on delinquent borrowers and prices fall far enough to attract buyers who can afford the mortgage payments.
Politicians and housing lobbyists decry nonjudicial foreclosure as unfair to borrowers, but every homeowner in any state has the right to challenge a foreclosure in court. The main difference is that in a judicial state the lender has to file a lawsuit to initiate a foreclosure, which can take months or years to settle depending on the state.
A state's economy, unemployment and regulations also play a role in foreclosure timelines, but the difference between judicial and nonjudicial states is stark. Lender Processing Services estimates the foreclosure inventory in judicial states is more than triple that of nonjudicial states.
The Mortgage Bankers Association's latest National Delinquency Survey, which ended September 30, showed that of the top five states with the highest share of loans in foreclosure, four were judicial: Florida (13.04%), New Jersey (8.87%), Illinois (6.83%) and New York (6.46%). The other was Nevada.
Florida for instance had to rehire retired judges last year to help clear its foreclosure backlogs—and the courts are still struggling to keep up. According to RealtyTrac, it took on average 858 days to foreclose in the Sunshine State as of September 30, up from 224 days at the start of 2008.
Now consider what happens to home prices in these states. According to S&P/Case-Shiller, over the previous 12 months that ended October 31, Miami home prices were up 8.5% but nonjudicial Phoenix home prices rose 21.7%. Nonjudicial Detroit saw home prices rise 10% versus judicial Chicago, where prices dropped 1.3%, and judicial New York, where prices are down 1.2% over the same period. There are exceptions, but this general trend is clear.
This is a hard truth for politicians to admit, much less sell to their constituents. It's politically easier to enact new regulations or legislation to "protect" borrowers from foreclosure, as if they are doing everyone a favor.
California has been a nonjudicial state, and the foreclosure pipeline has cleared faster than in many states. But the Golden State just enacted a new law that, as California's Attorney General Kamala Harris declared, will "give homeowners new rights as they work through the foreclosure process." She didn't say it will also slow the housing recovery.
The problem is that state foreclosure protections—combined with similar efforts by the Obama Administration—have taught borrowers it's okay to stay delinquent for months or years while fending off foreclosure. Lender Processing Services recorded 1.58 million mortgages that are 90 or more days delinquent, but not in foreclosure, as of the end of November 30.
As of October 31, Lender Processing Services estimated seven out of 10 states with the biggest backlogs of noncurrent mortgages, which includes those that are 30 days or more delinquent, as well as loans in foreclosure, were judicial: Florida (19.8%), New Jersey (16.1%), New York (13.4%), Illinois (13.0%), Louisiana (12.8%), Maryland (12.6%) and Maine (12.4%).
So politicians have ended up protecting some of the least responsible borrowers without any wider economic benefit, and at the expense of mortgage investors and lenders, who are paying for the free roof. Anyone remember former New York Governor David Paterson's 2009 boast that the state's antiforeclosure legislation was "a national model"?
Today it takes on average 1,072 days, or almost three years, for a lender to foreclose on a delinquent borrower in the Empire State, according to RealtyTrac. A local lawyer lamented to us recently that foreclosures in Kings County (Brooklyn) can take as long as four years—even if they're unopposed.
The larger lesson is that political interventions on behalf of delinquent borrowers have done more economic harm than good. Judicial states in particular should revert to nonjudicial status before the next housing bust. New Jersey Governor Chris Christie got the point when he signed a law in December that lets lenders expedite foreclosures on vacant and abandoned homes.
The time to act is when the market is recovering, and home prices are rising, because eventually there will be another housing bust.

The 5 Most Cartoonishly Evil Banks of All Time
If banks are evil, it's the most boring kind of evil possible. When they repossess a house, they do so with a form and a condescending tone, not a snake-themed helicopter and an anti-gravity ray. They may be the closest thing we have to a real-world villainous organization a la SPECTRE, but that's because the real world is friggin' tedious -- no bank is out there hiring hit squads and funding terrorism, right?
Well, actually ...
#5. Nugan Hand Will Chop Your Family into Bits
On paper, the Australian bank Nugan Hand was a high-class establishment. Founded by a lawyer and an American ex-Green Beret with only $1,000 in seed money, they quickly expanded, serving the needs of prominent U.S. military brass, including two generals, an admiral, and a former CIA director. Banking with Nugan Hand was like depositing your paycheck at the Hall of Justice, if the Hall of Justice offered a sweet 16 percent interest rate on deposits and always smelled like vanilla and Febreze.
Which is unnecessary, since cash smells pretty damn good on its own.
The Evil
Wait, 16 percent interest? Holy crap! Haha, how can they afford that? What are they doing with your money to be able to return that kind of interest? They must be funding friggin' drug runs with your paycheck or ohhhh crap.
That's exactly what they're doing, isn't it?
Keith Brofsky/Photodisc/Getty Images
In retrospect, bank tellers don't typically ask you to "Show me that paper, son."
Yep. That ludicrously competitive interest rate was largely funded by the massive heroin operation they were running. Mike Hand, the former Green Beret, helped launch Nugan Hand as a cover for the $25 million he received from drug dealers, arms smugglers, and (possibly) the CIA, who may have been using the bank to fund covert operations in Eastern Asia. During their seven years of business, Nugan Hand stole at least $50 million from their investors. And it's not like you could get it back by coming in and berating the teller into refunding your unfair overdraft/embezzlement fees -- their boss once promised to chop up his employees' wives and mail the parts to them in a box, Se7en style, if they ever disobeyed him. That's a slightly more effective threat than your "I'll take my business elsewhere."
Keith Brofsky/Photodisc/Getty Images
"We're not saying selecting 'Close Account' opens a trap door into spikes, but we're not saying it doesn't."
The whole thing eventually collapsed in 1980 with co-founder Francis Nugan's suicide, but if you're hoping this story ended with some swift and merciless justice, we're sorry: Aside from Nugan, pretty much everyone involved got off scot-free. Hand was last seen boarding a plane with a false beard, and all the remaining senior employees have refused to testify, which is something you're apparently allowed to do if you're rich enough.
Burke/Triolo Productions/Brand X
This pretty much entitles you to refer to the district attorney as "my bitch."
As for its depositors, they lost everything. But honestly, if you do your banking with Nugan Hand -- the most plainly ominous business name this side of the Dark Brotherhood -- you were probably prepared for the inevitable dramatic double-cross.
#4. "God's Banker" Funded Terrorism and Civil War
Jupiterimages/liquidlibrary/Getty Images
Founded in the 19th century with the backing of the Vatican, Banco Ambrosiano's mission was to provide an alternative to secular banks, because we all know that the only person you can trust more than a banker is a high-ranking official of the Catholic Church. A mere century of holy deposits later, they were the second-largest private bank in Italy. More than a bank, actually -- they were a sacred institution. In the 1970s, CEO Roberto Calvi was known as "God's banker."
Stockbyte/Stockbyte/Getty Images
"We've decided to waive that overdraft fee rather than risk being turned into pillars of salt."
Surely, with a title like that, nothing could go terribly and ironically wrong ...
The Evil
God probably should've joined a credit union. Calvi used most of his time in charge of Banco Ambrosiano to launder the Mafia's drug money, bribe Italian and American politicians, and sell weapons to both sides of the Nicaraguan Civil War.
Stockbyte/Stockbyte/Getty Images
Sunday school songs feature "little children" instead of "violent Third World contras" for a reason.
Eventually, however, Banco Ambrosiano got too big for their own frock, and things started to fall apart. A 1982 investigation revealed that the bank could not account for around $1.3 billion in deposits. Keep in mind that, while today's banks blow that kind of cash on breakfast champagne and gold-leaf toilet paper, $1.3 billion in 1982 dollars was basically all of it. All of the money.
Even the Mafia got spooked by all the heat the holy bank was bringing. They started cutting both ties and the throats they were wrapped around: A high-ranking regulator was found dead in Corsica shortly before Calvi's secretary committed suicide, and Calvi himself was found hanging from Blackfriar's Bridge in London -- a death ruled a suicide until basic common sense and a 2003 re-examination uncovered that it was pretty definitely a murder.
George Doyle/Stockbyte/Getty Images
"We'll rule it whatever you want, just keep this shit between yourselves."
If any of this sounds familiar, it's probably because parts of The Godfather: Part III were based on the scandal. That's right: terrorism, death, embezzlement, war, sinister political machinations, AND The Godfather: Part III. Truly, Banco Ambrosiano is responsible for some of the worst tragedies known to man.
#3. BCCI Has a Secret Private Black Ops Force
The Bank of Credit and Commerce International was established in 1972 and soon became one of the largest private financial institutions in the world, with deposits of over $20 billion and clients like the United Arab Emirates government. At its peak, it had 400 branches in 72 countries around the world. But as anybody who's broken a controller in the Lost Woods can tell you, just because something has a lot of branches, that doesn't mean you can trust it.
Unfortunately, "up, left, down, left" seldom works in international finance.
The Evil
Banks are like vomit: They're pretty easy to take care of when contained in one place, but once you spread them over a wide enough area, everyone just pretends they can't see the mess, rather than risk having to clean it up.
We, uh ... look, nobody said we were good roommates.
Back to the banks. Being no one's responsibility gave BCCI free rein to embark on a massive crime spree that would make Grand Theft Auto proud: laundering money for Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega, brokering illegal nuclear weapons sales, selling top-secret American technology to Iraq, running one of the largest Ponzi schemes in history, and doing the financial dirty work for virtually every major terrorist group in the world.
Plus the customer service line is, like, a 45-minute wait. We just need to order checks, you monsters!
They stopped just shy of spawning a tank and ramping it into a prostitute. BCCI even started their own private enforcement squad called the Black Network (Cobra Commander would be so proud) to take care of all the extortion, kidnapping, and murder that is apparently such a big part of tracking deposited money. When suspicious U.S. regulators refused to grant them a banking license (our banks usually don't have elite, shadowy fighting forces -- it really hikes up the insurance rates), BCCI just shrugged and employed some front companies and fraudulent loans to circumvent the law, and got right back to evilin' up the place.
"This ought to fool that crafty Federal Reserve."
BCCI's massive network of influence kept them consistently just a few steps ahead of the law. In the end, it took 62 countries conducting seven simultaneous raids to finally bring them down and 13 years to sort out where the money was. Even now, no one fully understands everything BCCI was up to, but we would be shocked -- shocked -- if it didn't involve some kind of laser and a moon base.

5 Celebrity Instructional Videos They'd Like You to Forget
#2. Michael Bolton's Winning Softball
When you think of Michael Bolton, the first thing that comes to mind is mangy hair. Second is soft rock. Third is "Why?" And then, if you haven't given up on thinking about Michael Bolton yet, softball. Wait, what? It turns out, holy shit, Michael Bolton loves him some softball. Bolton's love for softball is so strong that in 2000 he recorded a 60-minute video teaching rookies the basics of the game.
Via Allmovie.com
"Beautiful. Let's take one more and try not to get Michael's bludgeoned victims in the shot."
Which makes us wonder, who did he think was going to watch a softball instructional video starring Michael Bolton? Real softball players? No. Horny old ladies too shy to flip the station to Cinemax? No, Matlock was still on the air.
Questionable market research aside, Michael Bolton somehow assembled a team of mulleted softball players from his band and crew. And then, because Michael was humble, he named them the Bolton Bombers. Apparently at the point of filming they had a 67-3 record, but what do you expect when your competition is the Yanni Yankees and Kenny Loggins' Kubs?
"And that's how you adjust your testicles when they get pinched in your cup."
The whole video is pretty much a gigantic wankfest, as Michael constantly reminds us how great he is, how great his team is, how great his music is and how much money he raises for charity. In fact, it seems the only thing he doesn't brag about is scoring with chicks.
One of Michael's groupies gives him her 1870s room key.
The Bolton Bombers even demolish Michael Jordan's softball team in a charity game. So if you needed another reminder about what a disaster Jordan's baseball career was, just watch him lose to Michael friggin' Bolton.
#1. The Celebrity Guide to Wine, With Steven Seagal
One of the most awkward situations in life is spending time with a wine connoisseur when you know dick-all about the subject. But not to worry, because as this 1990 video demonstrates, even celebrities can be ignorant about wine. You suddenly won't feel so bad after you see Robert friggin' Loggia offend everybody by putting ice into red wine, which causes a caterer to ... uh, have a meltdown and plow through his table.
OK, none of us wanted to be celebrities until this exact moment.
The Celebrity Guide to Wine is hosted by Bernard Erpicum, who once worked as the maitre d' at Spago in West Hollywood, a popular celebrity hangout. He obviously thought that bringing in some of his celebrity buddies would help garner more mainstream appeal for his video. No matter who those celebrities were, or whether a sane person would trust their advice on anything.
So we hear the likes of Robert Loggia, Herbie Hancock, Shelley Hack and Whoopi Goldberg deliver their thoughts on wine, and start wondering if Whoopi has a bit of a problem after she shows us the 48 bottles of wine in her trunk.
"Remember, the number one rule in wine is 'get a shitload of it.'"
To further drive home the point that even celebrities make mistakes, Dudley Moore is shown acting out an awkward and uncomfortable situation where he tries to order wine for himself and his date, and faces unbearable pressure from the snooty maitre d'. But by the end of the video, Dudley has become such an enthusiastic wine connoisseur that he can't stop talking about it. Even though having eight glasses of wine in one sitting might be a cause for concern.
Though we're sure that the best advice comes from a man whose defining role was a wealthy alcoholic man-child.
But, of course, while you're watching The Celebrity Guide to Wine, the one celebrity you just know is going to show up sooner or later is ... Steven Seagal.
"I never make major career decisions without first consulting with several bottles of wine. And a toilet."
At the time, Seagal was married to Kelly LeBrock, whom you should remember as the chick from Weird Science. It's here that the video decides to take a turn toward the erotic, as the video teases us with the promise that we might get to see LeBrock and Steven Seagal in a lovemaking session that would almost certainly involve a wine bottle in his anus. After seductively caressing the bottle for her hubby ...
... LeBrock demonstrates that the proper way to open a bottle of wine is by ... sticking it between your thighs.
"Wait, honey, show them the trick where you open it without your hands."
Seagal is clearly turned on by this, and we get this erotic exchange:
"I hope it was as good for you as it was for me."
"I have a feeling it may have even been better."
"If you need a bottle opened, you know who to call."
"Maybe I'll whistle."
Just when you think the video couldn't get any weirder, it ends with a PSA message on drunk driving delivered by ... RoboCop himself, Peter Weller:
"Excuse me, I have to go. Somewhere, there is a crime happening."
Because of course it does.
Robin Warder is the co-owner of a pop culture website called The Back Row.

The cortisol blood test measures the level of cortisol in the blood. Cortisol is a steroid (glucocorticoid) hormone produced by the adrenal gland.
Cortisol can also be measured using a urine test.
Serum cortisol
A blood sample is needed.
Your doctor will likely have you do the test early in the morning. This is important, because cortisol level varies throughout the day.
You may be asked not to do any vigorous exercising the day before the test.
You may also be told to temporarily stop taking medicines that can affect the test, including:
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain. Others feel only a prick or stinging. Afterward, there may be some throbbing or slight bruising. This soon goes away.
The test is done to check for increased or decreased cortisol production. Cortisol is a glucocorticoid (steroid) hormone released from the adrenal gland in response to adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). This is a hormone released from the pituitary gland in the brain.
Cortisol affects many different body systems. It plays a role in:
Different diseases, such as Cushing syndrome and Addison disease, can lead to either too much or too little production of cortisol. Measuring blood cortisol level can help diagnose these conditions. It is also measured to evaluate how well the pituitary and adrenal glands are working.
Normal values for a blood sample taken at 8 in the morning are 6 to 23 micrograms per deciliter (mcg/dL).
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or may test different specimens. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
A higher than normal level may indicate:
A lower than normal level may indicate:
Other conditions for which the test may be ordered include:
Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Obtaining a blood sample from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight but may include:
Guber HA, Farag AF. Evaluation of endocrine function. In: McPherson RA, Pincus MR, eds. Henry's Clinical Diagnosis and Management by Laboratory Methods. 22nd ed. Philadelphia, Pa: Elsevier Saunders; 2011:chap 24.

Summer Sizzle Tour Coming Up For Northwest Karters
By Ben Deatherage
(Photo Courtesy of Doc's Photos)
In a couple of weeks Karters from across the Pacific Northwest will be on hand for three races in four days at three different tracks in the great state of Oregon for the first ever Summer Sizzle Tour. The events are expected to draw entries from not just Oregon and Washington but California, Idaho, and Montana.
The whole deal will start at the Albany Motorsports Park on Thursday August 15th with the Pit Meeting taking place at 4:45 PM and Hot Laps around 5:00. From there the teams will head south to the Cottage Grove Speedway on Friday the 16th which will have the Pit Meeting start at 6:00 PM followed by Hot Laps. The tour will take Saturday off to rest and recover before taking part in the grand finale that will take place on Sunday the 18th at Willamette Speedway in Lebanon. The Pit Gate is expected to open at 9:00 AM with Hot Laps at 11:00 for the Sunday show.
Kart and Driver entries will be $40.00 at each track (which includes their Pit Pass) along with $10.00 Pit Passes for crew members. Spectators wanting to watch the racing action from the grandstands will get into the show for FREE except for the Albany event. Spectators at Albany get into the races for just $10.00. Also FREE camping will be offered at Willamette Speedway in their designated campground.

DUBLIN, March 20, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/qsv77d/allseason_tire) has announced the addition of the "All-season Tire Market in Europe 2014-2018" report to their offering.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130307/600769 )
The increasing demand for tires with longer life is one of the major trends witnessed in the All-season Tire market in Europe. All-season tires generally provide a longer life when compared to tires specifically used in other seasons, especially during winters. Winter tires are usually made with softer rubber, which tends to get worn out at a faster rate than all-season tires. As vehicle owners expect tires to have a long life-expectancy, there is a higher demand for all-season tires. Moreover, vehicle owners prefer all-season tires since they can save costs compared to other tires with a shorter life.
According to the report, one of the major drivers in this market is the cost savings achieved with the usage of all-season tires. End-users across Europe prefer to use all-season tires rather than using different tires for different seasons. This helps vehicle owners to save costs since they do not have to change tires every season. This is in turn is promoting the usage of all-season tires, thereby boosting the growth of the All-season Tire market in Europe.
Further, the report states that one of the major challenges in this market is the lower performance of all-season tires compared to winter tires. Although all-season tires facilitate mobility on snowy roads, they are not the best option for vehicles during the winter season. This difference in performance between all-season tires and winter tires is due to the tread design, which is wider in winter tires and narrower in the case of all-season tires. This can have a negative impact on the growth of the market in the near term.
The study was conducted using an objective combination of primary and secondary information including inputs from key participants in the industry. The report contains a comprehensive market and vendor landscape in addition to a SWOT analysis of the key vendors.

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) - A longtime Shawnee County Commissioner will not seek his fifth term.
Ted Ensley was at the Shawnee County Elections Office on Friday morning. Moments before the noon filing deadline for local races passed, he said he opted to retire from his 3rd district seat.
Ensley is a Democrat. He's served on the commission since 1997.
There's competition on both sides of the aisle to take Ensley's place. Current Topeka City Councilman Bob Archer will face former Councilman Brett Blackburn on the Republican side. Mark Dee Erickson and John Lamb have filed for the Democrats. David Mountain is running as a Libertarian.
In the 2nd Commission district, Democrat Mary Thomas, who was appointed to fill out Vic Miller's term, faces a primary challenge from Linda Armstrong and Kevin Cook. No Republicans filed for the seat.
In the Shawnee County Treasurer's race, incumbent Larry Wilson had said he will not seek reelection. Republican Bill Sheahan and Democrat Larry Mah have filed.
For sheriff, Herman Jones, who Republicans appointed after Dick Barta retired in April, will face Democrat Gary Herman, a retired Topeka Police deputy chief.
Democrat Chad Taylor will be unopposed in his bid for a 2nd term as Shawnee County District Attorney.
The filing deadline for state legislative, Board of Education and Congressional races is June 11th.

A lot of music fans feel Craig Bickhardt should have become a major star thirty years ago, when some of his music helped make the movie "Tender Mercies" such an emotionally resonant triumph.
That 1982 Academy Award-winning film was highlighted by what was probably Robert Duvall's best role ever, as a down-on-his-luck, alcoholic country singer who finds redemption with the woman who gives him work, and ultimately, a reason to shape up.� Duvall sang some of the songs himself on the soundtrack, but the tune that played over the end credits really struck a chord with audiences, as "You Are What Love Means To Me" seemed to encapsulate the film's theme, along with being a terrific love song.
Bickhardt, who appears at the New Bedford Folk Festival this weekend, was the singer on that song, as well as the songwriter, and he seemed to be primed for huge success.� With a gift for penning intelligent lyrics that were also simple and direct, Bickhardt is also a master guitarist, with a soothing tenor/baritone voice that seems to glide effortlessly through his appealing melodies.
The quick summary of Bickhardt's early career is eye-opening to say the least. He had been signed by Bob Dylan's manager, Albert Grossman by the time he was 25, and soon after that the legendary music mogul Ahmet Ertegun inked him to an artist development deal with Atlantic Records. Art Garfunkel covered one of his songs, and before that movie came out, Bickhardt had already shared the stage as opening act for folks like Harry Chapin, Stephen Stills, and a young Bruce Springsteen.
In later years, artists as diverse as Johnny Cash, Ray Charles, and Alison Krauss have covered his songs. Bickhardt, however, has remained a pretty well-kept musical secret, playing the coffeehouse circuits, continuing to write memorable tunes, and meeting fans� who're amazed he isn't a bigger name.
On May 6, Bickhardt released his fifth album, "The More I Wonder," a collection of a dozen new songs, with the added feature of having his daughter Aislinn sing harmony on several cuts. Bickhardt had lived in Nashville for 24 years, before moving back to his Pennsylvania roots in 2006. While in Music City, he'd focused on writing, but still performed regularly, and even had a couple minor hits with a trio of songsmiths he was in.
The move to Pennsylvania marked a turn towards more performing, and more touring from a more centralized location for the many venues in the Northeast and East Coast. But it was also occasioned by his son, who has cerebral palsy, and his ongoing care needs. Coverage in Tennessee was limited, after the state opted out of Medicaid and had its own Tenn-Care run into financial problems.
"Pennsylvania is great for disability services," Bickhardt explained, "and as our son (now 26) was getting to the age where he'd be off our insurance, making sure he had access to good medical coverage was a primary reason for our move."
One of the more striking tuners on the new CD is dedicated to Bickhardt's son, and "It Opens" takes the perspective that every challenge is also an opportunity. It's a view that Bickhardt admits he had to keep reminding himself about.
"That song is a combination of my son and his challenges, and starting over myself," said Bickhardt, 60. "I wanted to find a new way of interacting with my music and my audiences, and I felt that my kind of music is appreciated more in this part of the country. The song is a re-affirmation of my faith that you can turn anything into an opportunity for growth and good things."
A couple of other songs deal with the life of a troubadour, both "The Restless Kind," who's always on the move, and "Crazy Nightingale," about one who "sang your lonely life away."
"Most of my songs are about several people, but "The Restless Kind" is sort of autobiographical," said Bickhardt. "That also has strong Celtic influences, and since I'm three-quarters Scottish-Irish, that's a flavor I frequently like to have. 'Crazy Nightingale' is again, heavily influenced by Celtic music, and reflects the difficulty of an artist's life, the many musicians like Jimi Hendrix we lose early, and also was informed by a book I'd read about Dylan Thomas."
While most of Bickhardt's work would be closer to folk music than country or any other genre, the new song "Stan" could be seen as an update, thirty years later, of a character from Bruce Springsteen's "Born in the USA."� It's a jaunty kind of tune, riding a superb accordion line from Michael Webb of Poco, a Bickhardt pal. The main character in this poignant song is a Vietnam vet in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, who's lost his job and his way in the changing economy, and now can be found "paying himself in regrets and beer.."
"We play all these Rust Belt towns, where you see the effects of all the jobs leaving," said Bickhardt. "I set this one in Bethlehem because it is such a beautiful town, and an old factory has been converted into a gorgeous new entertainment center there, but you also see these poor guys on the outskirts, who've just lost the jobs they always had."
No doubt Bickhardt has been answering questions about 'Tender Mercies' for thirty years, but we had to probe into that a bit too, and whether it mis-labeled him as a country singer.
"I had gone to Nashville back then to rub elbows and do shows with all the people I felt were doing the music I wanted to do," Bickhardt noted. "Artists like Steve Earle, Townes Van Zandt, Guy Clark, Nanci Griffith, and Kathy Mattea--none of whom were exactly country, but more hybrid singer-songwriters. Growing up in Pennsylvania, I'd loved Tom Rush, Dave Van Ronk, Tom Paxton, Eric Andersen and folksingers like that. And I think all of us were heavily influenced by The Beatles, yet we're not British pop acts. Genres exist for radio, but musicians don't make those distinctions--we're� a combination of all our influences."
"The publishing company I was working for, EMI, sent me the screenplay for 'Tender Mercies' and suggested I see if I could write anything for it. That song just came out of me, and I was never sure it'd be right for the movie, but they loved it. I didn't really see any uptick in my own career after that movie came out, and won the Academy Award. I had hoped when the soundtrack album came out on Liberty Records I might get a record deal with them, but that didn't happen. Any benefit I got out of it was slow and long-term, and I'm glad people still remember the song, but it was great to be associated with such a fine movie."
Bickhardt plays a lot of theaters and coffeehouses these days, and he said house parties are a growing phenomenon for intimate-venue performers like him. This is his first visit to the New Bedford Folk Festival which runs Saturday and Sunday (tickets $20 day/$25 weekend) and there are four chances for fans to hear him. (Check www.newbedfordfolkfestival.com for schedules).
Saturday afternoon Bickhardt appears twice at the Custom House Park Stage; with a noontime summit of songwriters, devoted to love songs, with Cliff Eberhardt and Marina Evans; and at 2:30 on a "Is That a Guitar behind the Cactus?: Country, Folk, Western" group with Ronny Cox and Michael Johnson.� On Sunday, Bickhardt is part of a songwriting discussion with John Gorka and Vance Gilbert, at the Whaling Museum Theater at 12:30 p.m. Then, at 5 p.m. on Sunday, Bickhardt headlines the National Park Garden Stage.
