Perhaps you already know that February 7th-14th is Congenital Heart Defect Awareness Week.
Though neither of my children have been affected by CHD, many SortaCrunchy readers know that I am deeply invested in the story of Gabriella Vega - a beautiful five year old who was born with Myocardial Bridging causing Restrictive Cardiomyopathy. (Read more about Gabriella's story and the response of SC readers here.)
In the past few months, I have had the pleasure of getting to know another "heart mom" - Elayne Slevin. Today, I'm sharing Elayne's story, as well as introducing you to some organizations that seek to support families affected by CHD.
Elayne's story:
My little heart baby is Noah. Our story began at Noah's twenty week ultrasound when the doctors discovered that he was going to be born with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome, where the left ventricle does not properly form. At this point they gave us our options. They said after Noah was born we could take him home and provide comfort care (which means we would love him until he died within a few days); we could get on a heart transplant list, or we could do the three-stage surgery which would essentially re-route his heart so that it would function out of two chambers instead of four. We chose the three-stage surgery as we felt it was the most proactive route and would give him the best chance of a normal life.
During the next twenty weeks we met with Noah's team of specialists including his cardiologist, who did a couple fetal echo's, and Noah's surgeon who would be performing his surgeries.
At forty weeks, they induced me. At birth, he was doing really well, so I got to hold him for a minute, then they whisked him off to the NICU. I visited him once that night and then didn't see him again until the morning. He was doing well enough to stay at the hospital he was delivered in and didn't need to be transferred to Phoenix Children's the same night. The next morning I insisted they discharge me so that I could ride over to PCH with Noah in the ambulance. That was the only night I left him (they couldn't get a line in and he was screaming and screaming and I had not had a moment of recovery time and was about ready to collapse, so Jay and I did go home that night for me to rest), though I don't think I actually got much sleep.
When we got back the next morning, he was on the vent as he had stopped breathing the previous night when his ductus arteriosis closed. This is something they had given him medication for right after his birth to keep open, knowing that when it closed (as it does in ALL babies) he would stop breathing. At that point he had a few rough nights where the nurses really earned their money. I slept on the bench near his bed every night except for that first one, and woke up every three to four hours to go to the little room down the hall to pump. I think I got to hold him twice before he had his surgery.
On the morning of day five of his life, Noah went in for his first open heart surgery at 8:07. It was gut wrenching watching them wheel him away from me. The surgery lasted about six hours in which we just sat around and prayed and I honestly expected the worst, but finally they came out and let us know he was off bypass and doing great.
After that they had to leave his chest open to make sure swelling went down and everything was normal, but after about three days of that, they went in and closed his chest and he started his recovery. From the day he was born to the day we were able to take him home was three weeks. I will say that I think Noah did so well after that because I was determined to breastfeed him despite all of the nurses telling me he'd never be able to. I pumped constantly until about a week after his surgery the surgeon was actually the one to tell the nurses to let me try nursing him. If he didn't gain weight after a few weeks THEN we'd consider supplementing. . . but Noah never got anything except for breastmilk and despite his rocky start, he learned to nurse like a champ and we had a 2 1/2 year nursing relationship.
So, we took him home and settled in to life, with me freaking out all the time because I was sure he was going to stop breathing any moment, but we managed to get through the next couple months until it was time to take him in for his second open-heart surgery at about four months old. Handing him over the second time was one thousand times harder because I had a chance to get to know this baby. . . and I had to physically hand him to the nurse. I remember not wanting to let go, but wanting to snuggle into Noah forever. The only way I was able to hand him over was to remind myself that he would die without these surgeries.
This surgery went well and was about five hours long. His recovery was only about a week. I requested a big bed and co-slept with him every night despite the chest tubes and machines.
After that, life really got to be normal and for the next couple years we had cardiology visits about every three months until we started talking about his final surgery - the Fontan! This was the surgery that would complete the job to where Noah would basically function with two chambers instead of four. It would restore his O2 sats from 75% to up to the mid to upper 90s! Noah completed this surgery in October of 2008, the surgery taking another six hours. This one was even harder than the other two, because this was a little person now. This was Noah! We got special permission from the staff to gown up and go back into the operating room until Noah was fully under anesthesia so that he wouldn't be scared. He did so good, and was able to wake up and come off the vent the same day! Again, he was only in the hospital for 1 week before he got to go home.
He is now an entirely normal 4 year old boy, with half a beautiful heart. You'd never know what he's been through unless you saw the gorgeous scar down the middle of his chest. God-willing he will be with us for many, many years. At the time he had his surgeries, they'd been doing the Fontan for a bit over 20 years and a lot of the pioneers are still alive, so since in the past 25 years they've improved, I'm hoping that Noah will get a chance to live a long and healthy life. I know I still freak out every time he gets sick, and I'm aware that he likely has a shorter life expectancy than a "normal" kid, but I told myself when we chose to do the 3-stage surgery, that I was just going to cherish the time that God did give me with him, and be thankful for every moment Noah is on earth with me.
* * * * *
While in Phoenix, Elayne joined with fellow heart mom Kym Vierthaler to start a chapter of Mended Little Hearts. She told me:
I wanted for MLH of Phoenix to reach out to help as many families as possible as they traveled through their heart journey. I was DEVASTATED when I found out about Noah's heart. Before he was born, Noah's cardiologist gave me the name of a mother whose son was born one year before Noah, and had been through his first two open-heart surgeries. Meeting with Bryson and his mom Kierra gave me hope! Hope that not only did my son have a chance at life, but a chance at a normal life. The rest of my pregnancy was such a whirlwind of research and prayer, but once Noah had recovered from his first two surgeries, I remembered how pivotal it was to me to meet another heart mom and how that was something that I wanted to do as a ministry - to reach out to as many people as possible going through the same thing as we did, and let them know that they are not alone.
* * * * *
This is the website for the Phoenix chapter of Mended Little Hearts, and there are chapters across the nation. Click on the "Mended Little Hearts groups near you" link on the MLH home page to find chapters nationwide.
Another group supporting and advocating for heart families is Saving Little Hearts. Founder Karin Coulter and other organization members provide emotional support and education for heart families primarily through the distribution of Surgery Care Packages.
More resources, articles, and support can be found at the Official CHD Awareness Week 2010 Facebook Fan Page. Additionally, you can search the #CHD hashtag on Twitter to connect with other CHD Awareness advocates.
Congential heart defects and disease remain the leading cause of birth-defect related deaths across the globe. If you don't know someone in your own family affected by CHD, chances are someone in your friend group or community will be. I hope that sharing these resources will have a positive impact today. Let's continue to promote awareness for CHD and provide emotional, spiritual, and physical support for those families tending to those little hearts!

Curry puff

|Snack, Appetizer
|Place of origin
|Southeast Asia
|Region or state

|Main ingredients
|Curry, chicken, potatoes
|Cookbook: Curry puff Media: Curry puff
Curry puff (Malay: Karipap, Epok-epok; Chinese: 咖哩角,咖哩饺; pinyin: gālí jiǎo; Thai: กะหรี่ปั๊บ, rtgs: karipap, pronounced [kā.rìː.páp]) is a snack of Southeast Asian origin. It is a small pie consisting of curry with chicken and potatoes in a deep-fried or baked[1] pastry shell. The curry is quite thick to prevent it from oozing out of the snack.
A common snack in Southeast Asia, the curry puff is one of several "puff" type pastries with different fillings, though now it is by far the most common. Other common varieties include sardines and onions or sweet fillings such as yam.
Though differing in the type of pastry used, the shape and structure of the curry puff may suggest that it has its origins in the Cornish pasty.[citation needed]
Curry puffs are a very popular snack item in Indian bakeries. Several variations of it are available based on its content, including egg puff, potato puff, chicken puff, veggie puff and Paneer puff. Curry puffs are enjoyed throughout Brunei, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, and India. It also shares many similarities with the empanada, a popular pastry in Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking countries.
In Malaysia, this snack can be found in many stores, especially at Indian and Malay food stalls. Another Malay version of this snack is known as epok-epok and teh-teh which is smaller than the curry puff. The curry puffs from Indian bakeries differ from epok-epok in the use of 'layered' pastry that creates a flaky crust. Other varieties of the epok epok are filled with a half boiled egg instead of chicken. Another alternative is tinned sardines.There are also vegetarian curry puffs that are in fact not spicy and made from shredded radish, tofu, potatoes and grated carrots. They are often eaten with sweet chili sauce.
Manufacturers have developed a version of the curry puff that can be frozen and later reheated by the consumer. These are suitable for the export market and can be produced in volume for shipment to various regions, such as the Middle East, where there is demand. In addition, new fillings have been experimented with, including tuna and black pepper.
In Indian food stalls in Malaysia, it is quite common to find vegetarian curry puffs with potatoes, carrots and onions as fillings.
In Indonesia, a curry puff is known as a pastel, although it does not necessarily contain any curry powder. Pastels are derived from the Portuguese influence in Indonesia. It refers to a pie of crust made from thin pastry, filled with meat (usually chicken) mixed with vegetables (chopped carrot and beans), rice vermicelli, and sometimes egg, then deep fried in vegetable oil. It is consumed as a snack and is commonly sold in Indonesian traditional markets.[2]
The similar North Sulawesi version replaces the thin flour pie crust with bread, and is filled with spicy cakalang (skipjack tuna). This variation of the snack is called panada.[3] This snack is very popular during Ramadhan.[2]
The similar Riau Islands version of curry puff is called epok-epok.
Curry puffs are commonly seen in Singapore's Pasar Malams and other stalls in shopping centres. Additionally, the aforementioned epok-epok is a popular variation in some of Singapore's hawker centres, usually amongst Malay stalls. Alternatively, the more common type of curry puff has a thick or flaky English-style crust, with a mixture of Chinese and Indian styles in the filling.
They may also be categorized into hand-made or mass-produced machine-made puffs. Both variations are popular in Singapore, although some might argue that the former is typically more delicious.
Other puff snacks modelled on the curry puff concept have also been introduced. For example, 1A Crispy Puff also sells puffs with yam, durian, corn, red bean, nata de coco, grass jelly, bird's nest and even custard fillings.
Besides the more "exotic" fillings mentioned, there are also more conventional flavours which are quite popular with the locals. These puffs are readily available in Singapore, which include sardine, black-pepper chicken and tuna fillings. For example, Pie Connection sells these hand-made puffs.
In Singapore, Old Chang Kee has been selling curry puffs for over 70 years and now has outlets all over Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines. Other well-known brands include 1A Crispy Puff and Sim Sun Pastries. Polar Puffs and Cakes introduced a version of the curry puff that uses Western puff pastry, which has a different taste and shape.
- Curry powder
- Potatoes
- A small piece of hard boiled egg
- Meat, usually beef or chicken.
- Onions
- Puff pastry
- Cream Cheese, used mainly in Americanized variations of the food.
- sardines

Hi Theresa,
Are there larger copies of the images anywhere that I could look at?
Some of them are just too hard to tell without being able to zoom in.
Still, here's some comments:
#16, variegated dogwood
Actually Aegopodium podograraria 'Variegatum'
#6, great blue lobelia
It looks like some sort of Nepeta or Calamintha to me
Hard to tell; is that flower part of it? I was thinking maybe
Chrysanthemum parthenium or a Pyrenthrum of some sort
#17 Chamomile/tansy
I'm pretty sure this one is Chrysanthemum parthenium
Those are the only ones I can tell without larger pictures. I hope it

Lonesome Onry and Mean: Please Rise for the Texas National Anthem You May Not Have Even Known About
LOM's dad loves to tell a story about being at the Petroleum Club in London in 1978 when Darrell McCall's "Lily Dale" came on the sound system. Some wiry little guy stood up on a chair and hollered, "Shut up, you Limey sons of bitches, they're playing the Texas National Anthem." "I thought surely someone is just going to throw him through the window, but nothing happened. And the place got quiet and people listened." Boorish? Sure. A caricature of the overbearing ugly Texan? Obviously. True? In many ways.
McCall came to Nashville with Donny Young before Young began calling himself Johnny Paycheck. McCall and Young had considerable success as a harmony duo on many of the major sessions in Nashville, but McCall finally struck eternal country gold in 1977 with "Lily Dale."
It didn't hurt that the second male voice was Willie Nelson. "Lily Dale" was the first duet Nelson ever sang with a male, and he nailed his part. Willie wasn't yet the icon he became, although his popularity in Texas was already huge. But it was McCall's visibility that blossomed significantly with this Texas dance-hall classic that made it into the Billboard Top 40.
McCall had a large if below-the-radar career, playing bass with Nashville hall-of-famers like Faron Young, Ray Price and Carl Smith. He also worked early on with Hank Jr. and wrote Bocephus's first huge hit, "Eleven Roses."

So I'm thinking of getting a molan Labe Tattoo on my left fore arm. I am thinking of old Greek molan Labe with an AR 15 silhouette underneath. I think it fits my personality well I think and it has a bit more character than the original Texas white flag with the black star, cannon and the words come and take it.

How to Modify a Dirt Bike to Avoid Repairs
3 Great Maintenance and Repair Tips for New Motorcycle Riders
If you're brand new to motorcycles, you should know that learning to ride one is only half the battle. Just as important is learning how to maintain and repair your bike. Doing work on your first bike may seem overwhelming at first, but it's an absolutely necessary chore. While car owners may wait until something goes wrong to take their vehicle to a mechanic, motorcycle owners don't have that luxury. You need to perform regular maintenance on your bike so that you don't get severely injured in an accident. So keep reading for some invaluable tips on motorcycle maintenance and repair that will serve you well. Tire Pressure Tire pressure may seem like a minor thing to most, but poor tire pressure is dangerous to overlook. Tire pressure directly affects both braking and handling, and this is just as true at high speeds as it is when you're cruising around the neighborhood. So if you've been neglecting your motorcycle tire pressure, get out the owner's manual before anything else. Check the recommended pressure and then use an accurate tire-pressure gauge while inflating or deflating the tires as necessary. Do this on a weekly basis, and you'll never have to worry about your tire pressure again. Battery Motorcycle batteries are another thing that's often overlooked when it comes to maintenance and repair. To avoid having your battery die on you completely, check the acid level regularly and top up if possible (some batteries are sealed and so prevent top-ups). You'll also want to inspect the battery terminals (one at a time, of course) and lightly wipe them with grease in order to prevent corrosion. After two years, even if your battery is still working, take your bike to a mechanic to have it inspected. Your mechanic may suggest that you replace your battery with a new one, as it may be coming to the end of its life. Fork Oil Even new motorcycle riders know to change the engine's oil every three to five thousand miles. But what about fork oil? Many new owners may not even know what fork oil is or how it helps improve your ride. In short, fork oil helps to dampen your ride and lubricate every moving part of your bike. If you want to continue having smooth rides during which you don't have to feel the impact of every bump and pothole on the road, then be sure to occasionally check and refill your fork oil. If you need help with your maintenance, then talk to a company like Monarch...read more
3 Types Of Snowmobile Safety Equipment That You Must Have
Going out on your snowmobile can often be a fun and exhilarating experience, but it also comes with its fair share of dangers, particularly if you enjoy taking your snowmobile off the beaten path or deep into the wilderness. Listed below are three types of snowmobile safety equipment that can help you increase your chances of survival in the event of an emergency. Avalanche Airbag One of the most important tools at your disposal in the event of an avalanche is an avalanche airbag. When an avalanche occurs, the smaller items that are swept up will end up at the bottom of the snow while the larger ones will typically end up near the top of the snow. The idea of an avalanche airbag is to make you larger when the airbag is deployed, thus keeping you at the top of the wave of snow from the avalanche and reducing the chances that you will be completely buried. Beacon One of the worst things that can happen to you while riding a snowmobile is to get caught up in an avalanche and be buried beneath the snow. In that situation, it is important to have a beacon. With a beacon on you, emergency services will be able to scan the area where the avalanche took place and pick up the signal being transmitted by your beacon, which makes it much more likely that you will be discovered and pulled out of the snow. Signalling Mirror Finally, you will always want to make sure that you have signaling tools in the event that you are going into a less-traveled area while on your snowmobile.The reason for this is that it can be very difficult for search parties to find you if you become stranded in a heavily wooded area due to a damaged snowmobile or if you are deep in mountainous terrain. Consider taking a small signaling mirror with you so that you can attempt to get the attention of emergency services aircraft. However, do not simply hold the mirror in a patch of sunlight, the static reflection will be hard to differentiate from the light reflecting off of the snow around you. Instead, move the mirror about to create an irregular and repeating reflection that will be more likely to attract attention. Visit your local sporting goods or motor sports store today in order to discuss which types of safety equipment and items like waterproof speakers for sale you should consider when riding a snowmobile. An avalanche airbag, beacon, and signaling mirror are all great safety tool that can help make you as safe as possible while riding your...read more
3 Types Of Trailers To Consider
Buying a trailer can be a great idea anyone that loves traveling or taking road trips, mostly because of the many different types of trailers available and the wide range of benefits that they can provide. Listed below are three types of trailers that you should really consider. Enclosed An enclosed trailer is typically designed to transport a small recreational vehicle, such as a motorcycle or ATV. One of the biggest reasons to consider this type of trailer is because it can provide an extra measure of protection from the weather for your motorcycle or ATV. This is very important because both of those types of vehicles have quite a few bits of exposed machinery and equipment that can begin to degrade quite quickly if they are exposed to a lot of rain or snow. Another reason to utilize one of these trailers is because they can protect your recreational vehicles while your are traveling and have to leave your vehicle unattended while you are in a hotel or having a meal. In that situation, the trailer will be able to hide the contents from view which will make it less likely that someone will feel the need to steal or vandalize your property. Toy Hauler Another type of trailer to consider is a toy hauler. This type of trailer is also designed to transport recreational vehicles, but it can often come with a few features that an enclosed trailer does not provide. For example, a toy hauler can often include sleeping accommodations that will allow you to avoid spending money on hotels while on your trip or to simply allow you to have a convenient place to rest if you are vacationing in a remote area. In addition, some toy haulers will even try to bridge the gap between an enclosed trailer and RV by providing entertainment, cooking, or bathing areas. Camping Finally, you will want to consider a camping trailer if you want to enjoy trips to rural or remote areas but do not want to give up all of the luxuries and comforts of home. These trailers can range from simply spaces that incorporate very basic toilet, sleeping, and cooking areas to far larger and more expensive accommodations. The larger camping trailers can often incorporate such luxurious features as a full-feature kitchen and dining area, large bed, and even a jetted tub. Speak to your local trailer dealer today in order to find the best trailer for you and your family's needs. Whatever type of vacation or destination you have in mind, there will likely be a trailer that can make that trip more comfortable and convenient. For more information, contact retailers like Camping World of...read more
Emerging Smart Systems That Make Your Motorcycle Safer
If you're a motorcycle enthusiast, one of the primary concerns you should have is safety. Fortunately, modern advances in computer-controlled smart systems have now added a number of new possibilities for safety when it comes to riding your motorcycle. This includes in the motorcycle itself and systems attached to motorcycle accessories. Find these systems when they're on sale for more affordable options. Smart Helmet Display Features Modern smart motorcycle helmets add a number of safety features, including increasing a rider's field of vision. These systems often use two cameras to display angles behind the rider in their blind spot. This creates a small window for a rearview display of your cameras while driving. As a result, you can keep your eyes on the road in front of you instead of constantly swinging your head back and forth to look for dangers. Smart helmets can also display your current speed in a place on a transparent LCD display that lets you see how fast you're going at all times, again without looking down. Technology does this by monitoring your progress through a built-in GPS. Some systems also let you pair with Android phones for full voice integration so you can answer phone calls, stream music, and other things you may be tempted to use your phone for while riding. This way you can keep your eyes on the road at all times no matter what else you want to do simultaneously. Built-in Smart Motorcycle Safety Some features are built in to the motorcycles themselves. These include headlights that can curve and shine around corners when you lean the bike to one side. It also includes smart suspension features that can adapt traction based on current conditions balance your bike out more when you're braking These new smart bikes can also have cameras inside of them. These cameras can read speed limit signs and inform you if you're speeding. They can detect potential hazards in the road and automatically begin braking procedures if the driver hasn't started to do this yet. Many of these systems are still emerging, but there's every indication that they will be available to consumers soon. Other systems built into smart motorcycles that are in development include monitoring weather sites for informing riders about potentially dangerous weather in their area so they can take appropriate steps and external blinking lights that automatically go off to warn other cars of a motorcycle's approach. Looking for a motorcycle? Consider buying from Carl's Cycle...read more
Important Factors To Consider When Buying Motorcycle Boots
When it comes to shopping for motorcycle boots, there are several features that you should consider. Whether you're buying boots for yourself or as a gift, understanding the basics of boot features is a great place to start. Since the boots you choose will provide the only layer of protection between the road and the wearer's body, it's important to make sure that you understand the safety implications of whichever boot style you select. Type of Material One of the most important considerations about motorcycle boots is what type of material they should be made from. Leather, including cowhide, is the best choice for protective motorcycle boots. Leather is durable and provides a good amount of protection against hazards of all kinds, including rocks, road debris, the weather and more. You can find leather in many styles and forms, so it is a matter of personal preference when you make your final choice. Boot Height Motorcycle boots come in many shapes and heights. If you're looking for something for limited protection, you can find some ankle-height boots that will provide you with low-level coverage. On the other hand, you can get greater coverage by investing in tall boots such as thigh-high or lower-leg style boots that cover most of the leg below the knee. Proper Fit The way that a boot fits is going to be an important part of its comfort. You've probably seen those tall boots with the laces that run from the toe up to the top of the boot. They're nice, but those laces could be a serious safety hazard if you aren't careful. Instead, look for a boot that has zippers for a secure fit. That way, you can keep the boot in place without risking damage or injury from laces. As another alternative, you could also look into slip-on boots that don't have any fasteners on the sides. If you want a smooth, sleek look with nothing to disrupt it, this may be the way to go. In addition to the features listed here, you'll also want to think about the type of heel and sole you prefer. If you want a thicker sole, just remember that it will alter the distance to the pedal on the bike. If you are thinking about a heel, choose a shallow heel for the safest possible ride. Otherwise, you risk getting your feet caught because of the edge of the heel. You can look for online boot retailers like Bob's Cycle & Snowmobile Supply who may be able to help you find a style that may not be available in your local...read more
How To Reupholster Your Vinyl Boat Seat Covers
If you have your own boat and you take it out on the water often, your vinyl seats may be subjected to an abundance of sunshine, leading the covers to appear faded. If this is happening to your seat covers, try your hand at sprucing up the look of your boat by giving them a brand new look. It is not difficult to reupholster your seat covers yourself with a few materials and a bit of time. Here are some instructions for you to use to do vinyl seat cover reupholstering, giving your boat a great new look. Materials You Will Need Screwdriver Staple remover Scissors Vinyl in whatever color or pattern you desire Chalk Staples Staple gun Removing The Worn Covers To take off a sun-faded vinyl cover from one of your seats, use a screwdriver to remove the screws underneath the seating area. Place them in a safe location so you will have them handy when it comes time to reassemble the seat with the new cover attached. The seat will now detach from the base, making it a bit easier to work with. If the cover was stapled onto the plywood at the bottom of the seat, remove the staples using a staple remover or by prying them out with a screwdriver. If you do not see any staples, carefully cut the cover off of the seat. This is done by making a cut into the vinyl underneath the plywood seat and continuing to cut it around the perimeter of the seating. Cut as close to the middle of the seat, from underneath where it can not be seen, as you can. Lift the old cover off of the seat. Adding New Covers Measure your old seat cover so you know how much vinyl to purchase. Use your old seat cover as a template to make a new cover from your new vinyl. Lay the old seat cover on top of the new vinyl and trace it with a piece of chalk. Cut out the new pattern and drape it over the chair. Pull the vinyl tightly over the seat, smoothing it to get out any lumps. Fold the vinyl underneath the plywood seat and use a staple gun to hold the vinyl in place, making sure to cover as much of the old vinyl left on the bottom of your seat, as possible. Trim any excess vinyl using scissors, if necessary. Gather the screws you had placed in safekeeping. Set the seat back on the base and poke the screws into the vinyl to screw them back into place. For more information, speak with experts like Chuck's...read more

Gum, blackened by feet and weather, stuck everywhere. It was wedged under seats, sat nakedly on the concourse and pocked the sidewalk. Rodney Garcia and 6,000 other Jehovah's Witnesses would be gum's undoing Saturday.
On his hands and knees in Qualcomm Stadium's concourse, Garcia, a 53-year-old with a salt and pepper mustache, went after the gum with vigor. He's plenty familiar with the stadium. The company he works for recently was subcontracted to do wallpaper work there. He did that job just fine, he said. But scraping gum off concrete is different.
"I would never see myself scraping," Garcia said. "For the stadium? No. For my God? Absolutely."

SAP, Intel, Others Sign White House Inclusion Pledge
Companies that are more diverse are more successful, research shows; 32 companies signed a White House pledge to turn that knowledge into action.SAP, Intel, GitHub and Airbnb are among the 32 companies that have signed a White House Tech Inclusion Pledge. By doing so, the companies agreed to take action to make the tech community look more like the rest of the country, and to make diversity a management priority and a business imperative. While women make up 51 percent of the U.S. population, at Twitter and YouTube in 2015, they were approximately 30 percent of the population, according to this visualization from Information Is Beautiful. And while Blacks and Latinos together comprise 28 percent of the nation, at those two companies, they're a collective 6 percent. Further, the pledge site notes that only 1 percent of capital-backed startups are led by African-Americans, and 88 percent of tech patents have male-only invention teams. "It's no longer about our differences as 'accepted,'" SAP CEO Bill McDermott said in a June 22 statement on the company's embrace of the pledge. "This misses the point completely. It's the differences that define our world view. It's the differences that create the fabric of our culture."
SAP has pioneered a number of programs that are pro diversity and inclusion. It announced plans to build new capabilities into its HANA platform that can help companies identify and avoid human biases—related to hiring, promotion and compensation—that contribute to imbalances in diversity.

The Magic Band is returning to London's Chelsea Under The Bridge in July 2016, following a critically acclaimed UK tour in November 2015. Also in July, the band will be headlining the 27th Zappanale Festival in Bad Doberan, Germany. More information and tickets can be found on the "Tour" page.
MagicBand.org is currently undergoing major updates, including new photos, video, reviews and other content. Please 'pardon our dust' as we continue to work on the website. Thank you!
Finally, a note from John "Drumbo" French:
Here it is May of 2016. The last I wrote a note for The Magic Band website was September 11th, 2015. The new lineup that is pictured did their first tour and I was apprehensive about how the public would react to the new players. However, I was never apprehensive, nor did I have a doubt that the band would play well, so I hoped people would have an open mind. With the departure of Denny Walley, and the serious illness and surgery Mark underwent, I had to decide whether to hang it up or keep going.
The band came across magnificently, and I thank the audience for having an open mind and accepting the new players. Of course, could I expect any less than an open mind from Beefheart fans?
Coming home, I was exhausted from the nearly total absorption that it took to get the tour happening. This involved several charts written from scratch, two Indiegogo campaigns, rehearsals, etc., — and that doesn't even count the business stuff – new photos, new bios, updates to catering, tech, etc. It's a lot of work!
When I came home from a successful tour, I was spent. It wasn't made easier by the fact that my brother-in-law, Norman Griffin, was facing the last 5 weeks of his life with stage four cancer. He passed away on January 4th, sadly, and will be missed. That was the eighth friend/relative to pass away in eight months. After helping to pack up his belongings and re-arranging the house for my sister-in-law, I was driving home (about an hour's drive) when my cell phone rang. It was my high-school friend telling me that his son has just committed suicide.
So, there was a lot of sadness in the year, but also great times on the road with the band to remember. I've never felt more relaxed and confident than with this lineup. Everything seemed to work.
In February, I finally got Zappanale and London's "Under the Bridge" booked for the Summer, realizing that there wasn't enough room to do a Spring tour on the band's calendar. Then came NEWS that my daughter needed help moving. That was about six weeks of pretty intense work. Now, I've finally gotten time to work on new material for the Summer shows.
One thing I decided to work on this time was my horn-playing, which I've never been quite happy with. So, on just about any given morning, I've been in the studio playing a chart I've worked up for the soprano saxophone. Also, I picked up a new wireless mic, which helped a lot.
I was pleasantly surprised to receive the #48 spot on Rolling Stone's "Top 100 Best Drummers Ever" ( or something like that) and am still trying to get Zildjian to endorse me when I go to Europe. Go figure.
I'm hoping to see you all this Summer, along with Eric Klerks, Max Kutner, Brian Havey, and Andy Niven playing The Music of Captain Beefheart – though I may sneak one of my originals in this time out. Thanks and kind regards, John French
The Magic Band have launched two Indiegogo campaigns!
The first is for 'Magnetic Draw,' a 2DVD set. Recorded in 2014 at The Engine Shed in Lincoln, UK, the first DVD features the band's concert performance. The second DVD contains interviews with all of the band members. To learn more, watch previews and pledge, CLICK HERE.
The second campaign will fund 'Singing Through You,' a live concert DVD recorded at Chelsea Under The Bridge in 2013. In addition to the concert, the DVD also features footage from John French's book signing and Q&A at Rough Trade in London, taken while he was promoting his book, 'Beefheart: Through The Eyes Of Magic.'

When Zap2it settled on this list of 22 of our favorite shows that lasted only a single season, it was not without debate.
Certain shows — including "Firefly," "Freaks and Geeks," "My So-Called Life" and "Terriers" — were no-brainers. But there was a lot of discussion in the Zap2it office about whether "Harper's Island," CBS' 13-episode horror series from 2009, should make the cut. People also threw out titles like "The Nine Lives of Chloe King," "Moonlight" and "The Secret Circle" as well, along with one-off reality shows like "Murder in Small Town X."
We could tell you that picking 22 was purposeful, since that's the number of episodes in a typical broadcast-network season — and one that most of the shows on our list didn't reach. But it's more of a nice coincidence, and as the internal debate proved, it could have been larger. So we'd like to re-open the voting to you.
The five shows mentioned above that didn't make the first cut, plus a select few others, are in the poll below. You can also add your own suggestions in the "other" line — we're looking for shows that aren't already in the photo gallery, so you don't have to write in for "Firefly" or "F&G." Voting will be open through Wednesday (July 3), and the Top 5 shows you choose will be added to our list.
Cast your votes in the poll and argue your suggestions in the comments.
