Thirty years ago, two of music's most charismatic and popular vocalists, both since deceased, recorded three songs together. Those songs will finally be released "in two months," reports the Times of London. No exact release date has been given.
In 1983, Queen's charismatic frontman Freddie Mercury recorded the songs with Michael Jackson at Jackson's home studio in Los Angeles, according to the paper, which also says the pair planned on expanding the project into a full album, but they weren't able to because of their busy conflicting schedules.
In Lesley-Ann Jones' "Mercury: An Intimate Biography of Freddie Mercury," the Queen singer is quoted as saying, "They were great songs, but the problem was time, as we were both very busy during that period." In 1983, Jackson told Rolling Stone that he was a big fan of Mercury's and that he had contacted him about the possibility of joining The Jacksons on their next album. It didn't happen, but that album became "Victory," The Jackson's 1984 LP that hit No. 4 on the Billboard Top 200 album chart, No. 3 in Britain and sold more than seven million copies worldwide and was the last to feature Michael (and also Marlon Jackson).
The three songs the pair recorded were "There Must Be More to Life Than This," "State of Shock" and "Victory." It's interesting to note that "Victory" was not included on The Jacksons' album, even though that's what the LP was titled, while "State of Shock" did appear on "Victory" and instead featured guest vocalist Mick Jagger.
Queen guitarist Brian May confirmed that the songs will indeed be released, calling the songs, "exciting, challenging, emotionally taxing. But cool."
The Jackson estate gave May and Queen drummer Roger Taylor permission to "revamp the recordings."
The sessions didn't go quite as smoothly as hoped, according to Queen's manager Jim "Miami" Beach in a 2012 documentary, "Freddie Mercury: The Great Pretender." "They got on well except for the fact that I suddenly got a call from Freddie, saying, 'Miami, dear, can you get on over here... You've got to get me out of here. I'm recording with a llama ... I've had enough and I want to get out."
Mercury died of AIDS at 45 in November 1991. Jackson died in June 2009 at 50 of acute propofol and benzodiazepine intoxication after suffering cardiac arrest.
Top Topham, the original lead guitarist for British Invasion giants The Yardbirds, has rejoined the band, according to posts on the group's website.
The 66-year-old Topham will join the band on its four U.S. gigs in September and its "Ultimate Rhythm and Blues Tour" of the U.K. in January and February with The Zombies, The Animals, The Spencer Davis Group, Chris Farlow, and Maggie Bell, as well as the group's worldwide 50th anniversary tour that will run through 2014.
Topham, who will play rhythm guitar, replaces original Yardbirds bassist-rhythm guitarist Chris Dreja, who suffered a stroke last year.
Topham was a co-founder of The Yardbirds in May 1963, but because he was only 15 at the time he quit the group a short time later when they were offered a residency at the famed Crawdaddy Club and his parents wouldn't let him quit school. His replacement was Eric Clapton, who, in turn, was replaced by Jeff Beck and then by Jimmy Page.
Topham later played in a band that included T.Rex leader Marc Bolan and played sessions with, among others, Fleetwood Mac's Peter Green and Christine McVie. In 1988, he and Yardbirds drummer Jim McCarty formed The Topham-McCarty Band. The Yardbirds regrouped in 1997, led by McCarty and Dreja, with former Dr. Feelgood guitarist Gypie Mayo playing lead. Since 2005, The Yardbirds' lead guitarist has been Ben King.
Carly Simon made a rare concert appearance, joining Taylor Swift onstage before 55,000 fans during Swift's concert at Gillette Stadium, outside Boston, according to US Magazine. The two delivered Simon's 1972 smash, "You're So Vain."
By way of introduction, a coy Swift told the crowd, ""Before I bring out my special guest, I have this question that I've always, always had. I think a lot of you have probably had this question too. Who is this song, 'You're So Vain' by Carly Simon, written about?"
The song, that featured Mick Jagger on backing vocals, was No. 1 on Billboard's Hot 100 pop chart, its adult contemporary chart, in Australia and in Canada. It hit No. 3 in Britain.
With its chorus, "You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you," speculation has run rampant for decades about who exactly the song was about. The 68-year-old Simon has said little to solve the mystery, but she did say that the man she had just married at the time of the record's release, James Taylor, was not the subject of the song. The list of suspects includes Cat Stevens, David Bowie, David Cassidy, and record exec David Geffen, but Suspect No. 1 has long been Warren Beatty.
Of course, the 23-year-old Swift has also written songs about her famous exes, including her recent boffo hit, "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together," while not telling who each song is about. Among her former boyfriends are John Mayer and One Direction's Harry Styles.
After their performance, Swift tweeted, "Got to sing 'You're So Vain' with Carly Simon at Gillette Stadium tonight!!!!! Unreal. I could not possibly look up to her more."
There is considerable media speculation reporting that Dolly Parton underwent cancer prevention surgery in her esophagus to deal with acid reflux. The National Enquirer reports that a state-of-the-art device was implanted into Parton's esophagus at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Fla., on June 4.
Britain's Daily News was among the first newspapers to speculate about the 67-year-old pop and country singer who has sold more than an estimated 100 million records. An unnamed source told the British paper, "Dolly knew something had to be done or she could die. Her weight was dropping dramatically, she was chugging antacid medication, and she couldn't eat anything but soft, bland foods." At press time, neither Parton nor her representatives have commented.
The paper said that Parton has suffered from acid reflux for years, and that her condition worsened, causing the petite performer to lose 20 lbs.
In the wake of this speculation, the Esophageal Cancer Action Network put out a release noting that the type of esophageal cancer caused by reflux disease has increased by more than 400 percent in the past 20 years in the United States. It is a particularly deadly form of cancer because it's so often detected too late.
Major League Baseball will honor Aretha Franklin and former player Bo Jackson at its Beacon Awards that pays tribute to personalities who have been prominent in the civil rights movement, MLB announced. The luncheon will take place Aug. 24 at the Chicago Marriott Magnificent Mile. After the luncheon, the pair will be introduced during pre-game ceremonies at the annual Civil Rights Game, this year at U.S. Cellular Field between the home team White Sox and the Texas Rangers.
Past recipients of the MLB Beacon Award include Hall of Famers Frank Robinson, Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, and Ernie Banks, as well as Muhammad Ali, Harry Belafonte, Bill Cosby and Morgan Freeman.
The 71-year-old Queen of Soul, who has had to cancel several recent concerts while she undergoes treatment for an undisclosed illness, will attend the events.
At 55, Gloria Estefan has discovered the Great American Songbook. Her new album of standards, called naturally, "The Standards," comes out Sept. 10. However, beginning this weekend and running through August, PBS is showing "Gloria Estefan: The Standards," a special showing the singer in a cabaret setting. Check your listings.
"The Standards" CD is a collection of 13 of what the singer says are her favorite songs - and she's singing them in English, Spanish, French, Italian and Portuguese. They include Charlie Chaplin's "Smile," sung in Italian as "Sonrie" with Italian pop singer Laura Pausini; Gershwin's "They Can't Take That Away From Me" and "Embraceable You"; Lerner and Loewe's "I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face" from "My Fair Lady;" Dorothy Fields and Jerome Kern's "The Way You Look Tonight" that features jazz saxman Dave Koz and the Louis Armstrong hit, "What A Wonderful World."
Cheap Trick's drummer Bun E. Carlos sued his band, claiming he's owed hundreds of thousands of dollars, according to Pollstar. Joining the lawsuit is the band's manager Dave Frey, who says the group has been trying to fire him since last June but can't without consent from all four members, including Carlos, who refuses to do so.
The 55-year-old Carlos is still officially a member of the group even though the band issued a statement in March 2010 saying that he would no longer be performing concerts with the group, replaced by guitarist Rick Nielsen's son Daxx. In the suit, Carlos claims the other three, Nielsen, singer Robin Zander and bass player Tom Petersson, made numerous business decisions without compensating him. At press time, neither the band, Carlos nor Frey have issued any additional comments.
The most recent Cheap Trick album, "The Latest" was released in 2009 and features Carlos. The band plays three gigs in Japan, Aug. 8-11, before touring the states with Pat Benatar through Sept. 21.
Boyd Tinsley, violinist for The Dave Matthews Band since 1991, is the victim of an embezzler who ripped off the 49-year-old musician for at least $400,000, reports the Charlottesville (Virginia) Newsplex. Prosecutors in federal court in Charlottesville said that between $1 million to $7 million was stolen from 2009-2012.
A 39-year-old man, Getty Andrew Rothenberg, pleaded guilty. Court documents say Rothenberg embezzled the money while working as a personal assistant and finance manager for a man identified only as "CBT." Rothenberg, who will be sentenced Sept. 17, faces up to 30 years in prison. It's unknown how much Tinsley has recovered or will be able to recover.
Academy Award-winning singer-actress Shirley Jones, 79, told ABC talk show host Katie Couric that her secret to staying young is sex. "Masturbation! Sex keeps you young no matter what. The feelings of it keep you going."
Jones is promoting her new autobiography, "Shirley Jones: A Memoir."
She also said her first husband, Jack Cassidy, father of her "Partridge Family" co-star David Cassidy, to whom she was married from 1956-1975, encouraged her to "experience everything sexually." Couric got Jones to admit that Cassidy participated in threesomes, but she comfortably replied, "I did it once. It wasn't for me."
She added that before they were married Cassidy had a sexual encounter with legendary songwriter Cole Porter, but that his sexual dalliances didn't faze her.
Since 1977, Jones, who won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar in 1961 for "Elmer Gantry," has been married to one-time actor-comedian Marty Ingels, of "I'm Dickens, He's Fenster" sitcom fame with John "Gomez Addams" Astin.
Within the past year, Jones has completed eight motion pictures and TV appearances, including a guest spot on "Hot in Cleveland" and a role in the upcoming "Zombie Night."
After a three-year hunt by Scotland Yard, a rare stolen 300-year-old Stradivarius violin has been recovered, according to Britain's Mirror. The violin was made in 1696 in Italy. Internationally acclaimed South Korean classical violinist Min-Jin Kym, 35, was eating inside a sandwich shop in London's Euston station in November 2010 when she noticed that her black violin case containing the instrument valued at approximately $2.5 million was missing. No details of the recovery were given.
Kym said, "The loss of the instrument, and the acute responsibility I felt, was at the back of my mind at every moment of the day. I'd played the instrument since I was a teenager, so it'd been a huge part of my identity for many years. When they told me the good news, it didn't feel real. I've now gone from devastation to the other end of the scale - an incredible feeling of elation that hasn't left me. I'm still feeling the butterflies in my stomach and am on cloud nine."
"Beatlemania!," a musical review of The Beatles and their music first arrived on Broadway in 1977. Others followed, including "Rain: A Tribute to The Beatles," that was on the Great White Way from October 2010 until July 2011.
Now comes, "Let It Be: A Celebration of the Music of The Beatles." The production, described as "a tribute rock show," not a play, features approximately 40 songs and has opened to what's been described as "generally favorable reviews."
"Let It Be: A Celebration of the Music of The Beatles" plays at the St. James Theatre on 44 th St. and stars Reuven Gershon as John, James Fox as Paul, John Bronson as George and Luke Roberts as Ringo. It runs through Dec. 29.
Rod Stewart, known as Rod the Mod during his days in the late '60 s when he fronted The Jeff Beck Group, has extended his run of shows in Las Vegas at his Coliseum residency at Caesar's Palace. The run adds nine concerts and now extends through November. This marks the beginning of another two-year run in Vegas for the 68-year-old two-time Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member. Tickets go on sale Saturday.
Singer-songwriter-guitarist JJ Cale, one of the pioneers of the easy-going blend of country, blues, jazz and rockabilly known as the Tulsa Sound, died at age 74 at Scripps Green Hospital in La Jolla after suffering a heart attack, reports the Washington Post.
Eric Clapton, former Dire Straits' frontman Mark Knopfler and Neil Young are among the many who have cited Cale's guitar work as an influence. In fact, this year, Young cited as the two best electric guitar players he's ever heard - Jimi Hendrix and Cale.
An eclectic array of artists covered Cale's songs, including Captain Beefheart, who recorded his "Same Old Blues" in 1974. Others include Johnny Cash, Santana, Scottish blues-rocker Maggie Bell, Scottish rockers Nazareth, George Thorogood and The Destroyers, Beck, Dr. Hook. Maria Muldaur, country singer Randy Crawford, Widespread Panic, The Jerry Garcia Band, Marc Cohn, Kansas and jazz flautist Herbie Mann.
However, Cale was best known for a pair of songs that Clapton covered and turned into major hits, "After Midnight," that was his first hit as a solo artist, in 1970; and "Cocaine" in 1977. In 2006, Cale and Clapton shared the Best Contemporary Blues Album Grammy for their collaborative "The Road to Escondido" album.
Cale's jumping "Call Me the Breeze" was a hit in 1974 for Southern rockers Lynyrd Skynyrd. In 1980, Waylon Jennings took Cale's "Clyde" to No. 7 on Billboard country singles chart and No. 1 on the RPM country chart in Canada.
As a solo artist, his biggest hit was his slow-movin' 1971 single "Crazy Mama" that peaked at No. 22 on the Billboard Hot 100 pop singles chart and No. 21 in Canada. An Oklahoma individualist, in the 2006 documentary, "To Tulsa and Back," Cale told the story of how he declined an appearance on Dick Clark's "American Bandstand" in 1971 to sing "Crazy Mama" even though it would have meant more exposure and probably greater sales of the 45 because he was told that he couldn't bring his band with him and would have to lip sync the song.
Among the recently released albums, digital reissues, MP3 downloads and deluxe box sets are a 2-CD set of new songs, "Rhythm & Blues," the latest from 76-year-old 2012 Kennedy Center Honoree Buddy Guy, still a monster performer and guitarist, with guests Kid Rock, Keith Urban, Gary Clark, Jr., Beth Hart and Aerosmith members Steven Tyler and its axemen Joe Perry and Brad Whitford; "In a World Like This" is the eighth studio album in 17 years from Orlando, Fla. vocal quintet, The Backstreet Boys, who have sold more than 130 million records worldwide; and on "Bakersfield," 20-time Grammy winner and former Pure Prairie League singer-guitarist Vince Gill and noted pedal steel guitarist Paul Franklin pay tribute to the country music of that town by covering ten songs by Bakersfield's favorite singers Buck Owens and Merle Haggard.
"Handpicked" is the first studio album in five years from jazz guitarist Earl Klugh and it features his guitar-playing pals Vince Gill on The Everly Brothers' hit "All I Have To Do Is Dream," Bill Frisell on The Marcels' and others' "Blue Moon," and Hawaiian ukulele master Jake Shimabukuro on The Eagles' "Hotel California;" "Soul Quest" from smooth jazz keyboardist Keiko Matsui, who has released a couple of dozen CDs since her 1987 debut; and "There's a Riot Going On: Gold Edition" a re-release of Sly & The Family Stone's classic 1971 LP that hit No. 1 on the Top 200 pop chart for three weeks and the R&B chart for five weeks, and includes the soul-funk smash 45, "Family Affair."
An import re-release of the 1964 LP, "Softly: The Brazilian Sound," by pop music singer and actress Joanie Sommer; a 3-CD box, "Todos Los Romances," from the world's most popular Latin singer, Luis Miguel; from Dionne Warwick's "We Need To Go Back - The Unissued Warner Bros. Masters," that consists of 19 recently discovered unreleased songs from 1972-1977, and the 21-song, "Complete Warner Bros. Singles" from that same time period; "The Two of Us" and "Marilyn & Billy (Expanded Edition)" are reissues with extra songs of LPs from 1977 and 1978, respectively, from former Fifth Dimension singers Marilyn McCoo and her husband Billy Davis, Jr.; "40 th Anniversary Celebrating Faith, Family and Freedom" a 12-song "best of" CD from The Oak Ridge Boys that includes their biggest biggie, "Elvira," as well as their takes on "Amazing Grace" and "The Star Spangled Banner."
The budget-priced "Absolute Collection (Deluxe Edition)" series announces new releases from Salsa Queen Celia Cruz, Harry Nilsson; "Fly Like An Eagle: An All-Star Tribute To The Steve Miller Band" features an group of unlikely rockers and prog-rockers that includes The Tubes' Fee Waybill, former Yes keyboardists Tony Kaye and Rick Wakeman, Asia's singer-bassist John Wetton, The Buggles keyboardist Geoff Downes, Yes' original guitarist Peter Banks, Dixie Dregs and Deep Purple guitarist Steve Morse, Rod Argent and the great former guitarist from Gong, Steve Hillage; a double LP reissue on a single CD from Eydie Gorme's singing partner and hubby, Steve Lawrence, 1967's "Sings of Love and Sad Young Men" and 1972's "Portrait of Steve," that's his only LP with arranger Nelson Riddle; and speaking of Eydie, her 1963 LP, "Blame it on the Bossa Nova," is re-released, containing, of course, the title song that was her biggest hit single (No. 7); the 24-track "Love Can Change Everything: Demos 1967-1972" from singer-songwriter-guitarist-electric sitar player and former Crabby Appleton leader Michael Fennelly.

CHICAGO - Viktor Fasth made his first career start last month and picked up the win. He posted his first shutout a week ago and collected another victory last week despite allowing five goals.
The only constant through his first six starts is a string of victories for the Ducks.
Fasth made two stops in the shootout to remain perfect and the Ducks beat the Chicago Blackhawks 3-2 on Tuesday in a matchup of the top two teams in the Western Conference.
"You always try to work hard to get to play," said Fasth, who signed with the Ducks in May. "I got to work hard every day to get my chances and to play when the coach wants me to play and try to help out the team as much as I can."
After Jonathan Toews converted the first shootout attempt for Chicago, Fasth stopped Patrick Kane's backhander and denied Brandon Saad to become the first goalie to win his first six NHL starts since Dan Ellis with Dallas and Nashville from Feb. 18, 2004, to Nov. 29, 2007.
Nick Bonino and Corey Perry scored in the tiebreaker for the Ducks, who improved to 3-1 on their season-high, six-game road trip. Ryan Getzlaf and Andrew Cogliano scored in regulation and Fasth had 28 stops through overtime.
"They're obviously a great team," the 30-year-old goaltender said. "We knew that we had to be on top of our game to win today and that's what we did."
Chicago was in front 2-1 before Cogliano sent a deflected shot into the net with 2:40 left in the third period after he had his helmet knocked off.

ALTA BADIA, Italy (Reuters) - Ted Ligety outclassed his rivals again with a comfortable victory in the classic Italian giant slalom of Alta Badia on Sunday.
The world champion won his third giant slalom of the season in a combined time of two minutes and 37.27 seconds, 2.04 ahead of Austrian Marcel Hirscher.
While the gap was not as emphatic as Ligety's 2.75-second margin of victory in October's season opener in Soelden, it required a great second run by overall World Cup champion Hirscher to limit the damage.
Third-placed Frenchman Thomas Fanara trailed Ligety by 3.27 while German Fritz Dopfer was fourth, 4.22 off the pace.
The record margin of victory in a men's World Cup race stands at 4.06 seconds by Ingemar Stenmark in 1978 and Ligety, who also won in Alta Badia two years ago, has drawn comparisons with the Swede considered to be the best giant slalom specialist ever.
Ligety, who led by an impressive 2.40 after the first leg, conceded the shadow of Stenmark had weighed heavily on his performance in the afternoon.
"It's crazy. I was amazed, I couldn't understand leading by such a margin after the first run," the 28-year-old told reporters.
"In the second, I must admit I had the Stenmark record at the back of my mind. I wanted to ski aggressive but at the same time, I wanted to win the race," he said.
Two big mistakes, which could have been costly, warned the American against trying too hard and he secured victory in the final section.
Norway's Aksel Lund Svindal was a solid ninth, 4.86 behind Ligety, whom he leads by 106 points in the overall World Cup standings.
However, Ligety does not believe he is strong enough in slalom or super-G to mount a real challenge to the Norwegian for the big globe.
"I don't have a true chance because I need to raise my level in a lot of other events. I hope my GS (giant slalom) form will help me go ahead in slalom and find my best form like in the old days," Ligety said.
With 14 giant slalom victories, the skier from Park City has joined Austrians Benni Raich and Hermann Maier as the fourth most successful specialist of all time and is one win behind Italy's Alberto Tomba. Stenmark notched an incredible 46 top spots in the discipline.
Hirscher, with six podium places including a win this season, said he had to be contented with his runner-up place behind an exceptional Ligety.
"I really skied at my limits in the second run but there was no catching Ted. He's on another planet and I asked him after the first run which line he'd taken, for it was just unbelievable," Hirscher said.
"In any case it's a great battle with Ted in the GS and with Aksel overall and I'm having great fun."
The men's circuit stays in Italy for a floodlit slalom in Madonna di Campiglio on Tuesday, the last race before Christmas.

Rahul Sood Speaks on the Future of Voodoo
Sven Olsen
April 10, 2007 2:50 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Sood, right, working with the HP team on the Misto touch interface
Six months after HP absorbed the boutique vendor Voodoo PC, the company sheds some light on its eventual plans
Late last week Hewlett-Packard showcased the fruits of its Voodoo PC acquisition and the HP Labs development team.
"It became clear that there has been work going on even prior to the Voodoo acquisition and now the wheels are spinning freely, and things are anything but status quo," said HP Global Gaming Chief Technology Officer and
Blogger Rahul Sood.
Much of HP's showcase included technology derived from
HP Labs projects
. HP's Misto project, for example, integrates a 50" touch screen into a coffee table. The interface is designed as a proof-of-concept for gamers, but Sood isn't discounting its usefulness for other applications.
"Well, we have been exploring all types of technologies which pertain to gaming, including handheld, display, interface, and many others. We have enough intellectual property within HP to wallpaper the building," states Sood. "These research scientists within HP Labs are absolute geniuses, they have some interesting projects yet to be unveiled. The interesting thing is many of the projects they are working on are not specific to gaming - we have recognized these areas and the creative juices are flowing."
Voodoo PC built its niche on the no-expense-spared ultra enthusiasts. Although HP is a bit more grounded when it comes to catering to the masses, Voodoo's influence in HP Labs is more than apparent. In particular, HP demonstrated its nine-projector interface capable of displaying images bright enough to see outside in full daylight. HP's interlacing technology has shown up on other projector based projects; at the Consumer Electronics Show last January the company demonstrated its immersive driving simulator using multiple projectors interlaced together.
However, six months after
HP's acquisition of Voodoo
, the company still has not shipped an official HP-Voodoo collaborated PC yet. HP continues to build Voodoo's boutique PCs, mid-range PCs under the Hewlett-Packard brand and entry level products under the Compaq brand. The company still lacks a direct competitor to Dell's XPS line.
"We recognized that there is a gap between HP and Voodoo – and we believe this gap is significant enough that we need to jump into the sandbox and draw the line. We never said anything about creating a fourth brand but there is indeed speculation."
Sood closes, "As I said at the event in San Francisco, our funnel is full of ideas; you'll see some new stuff as early as this year."

Playing with My Bees
By Charlotte Hubbard I was on my way to the apiary, minding my own business, when local law enforcement pulled up beside me. "What are you doing?" asked the handsome young deputy, identified as Hagen. Honesty is always the best policy, so I truthfully explained that I was just going to go play with Read more >

LOS ANGELES -- Marley Coffee said it has distributed more than 500,000 of its new Marley Coffee Real Cups single-cup portion packs in its first month. The new line went on sale in mid-November.
Real Cups, compatible with most Keurig machines, are now available both in the U.S. and Canada, and reportedly represent the fastest-moving product in the company's history.
Marley Coffee currently offers four Real Cup varieties in 24 packs: Get Up, Stand Up (light roast), One Love 100% Ethiopia Yirgacheffe (medium), Lively Up 5 Bean Espresso (medium dark), and Talkin' Blues 100% Jamaica Blue Mountain (medium). It will add 12-packs beginning in March 2013, and plans are in the works for a 36-count variety pack.
Rohan Marley, chairman and founder of Marley Coffee, said the company's Talkin' Blues 100% Jamaican Blue Mountain Real Cups, made with beans from its Marley Family estate in Jamaica, have been the top-selling item that customers are reordering. "My objective has always been to move Jamaican Blue Mountain from being a niche item within the coffee industry to something that can be enjoyed ubiquitously by all people," he said. "We thought it would take time for this to happen, but distribution has exceeded my expectations."
Brent Toevs, chief executive of Marley Coffee, attributed the company's early success with Real Cups to its distribution strategy of selling them to both retailers and distributors.
"Many people have been limited by access to the single-serve market and we want to make sure our product is available to anyone to purchase," he emphasized. "Our goal is to build relationships with everyone without restrictions. We won't depend on lengthy contracts that could possibly limit our customer's opportunity to leverage our products for success."
Marley Coffee is also available for OCS in fraction packages, single-serve pods and portion packs, and for full-line vending through branded machines.

"Brewers on Deck" schedules announced
MILWAUKEE -The Milwaukee Brewers are set to host Brewers On Deck, presented by Time Warner Cable, on Sunday, January 29 at the Frontier Airlines Center in downtown Milwaukee. Doors to the facility open at 7 a.m. and the exhibit hall opens from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Brewers On Deck, the annual winter fan festival, will feature a number of activities for the entire family, including autographs and photos from Brewers players and coaches, baseball clinics and the always popular "Game Shows" with players, prospects, staff and even appearances from surprise Hollywood guests this year. The day's activities also include interactive games in the Kids Area, Game Flashbacks with players, Q&A sessions, vendor booths with baseball memorabilia, the Brewers Community Foundation Treasure Hunt and more.
The same system for autographs will be used for Brewers On Deck that was introduced last year. Recipients of autographs for Rollie Fingers, Zack Greinke and Robin Yount will be chosen through a random selection process. Numbered coupons to be entered into the random selection process will be available the day of the event only and will be distributed beginning at 8am at the Frontier Airlines Center. Coupon distribution will be available up to an hour before each designated autograph session. A schedule is listed below:
Player Signing Time Stage Coupon Distribution Winner Announcement Fan Report Time
Rollie Fingers 11:30-12:15 5 8:00 – 10:30 11:00 11:15
Zack Greinke 1:30-2:15 3 8:00-12:30 1:00 1:15
Robin Yount 2:00-2:45 1 8:00-1:00 1:30 1:45
Fans can receive one coupon per event admission ticket and can use that coupon to enter the random selection process for any one of the select Brewers players. There is no cost for coupons to enter the random selection process; however, those holding coupons that are chosen must pay $25 at the respective autograph stage to collect their player signature. There will be 250 winners for each of the identified autograph sessions.
Players and staff not included in the above autograph list will not use the random selection process. Each of those players will sign 250 autographs at prices ranging from free to $25. The autograph opportunities are for signatures on photo cards provided by the team; the Brewers cannot guarantee that any player will sign other memorabilia, and personalization of items is solely up to the discretion of each player.
All autograph proceeds benefit Brewers Community Foundation. Please note that cash is the only acceptable form of payment for autographs.
Four stages will be set up throughout the convention hall, featuring programming and other activities throughout the day. The Brewers Main Stage will include various question and answer sessions with top Brewers baseball executives, game shows featuring players, and a roundtable discussion with members of the Milwaukee media who cover the team on a regular basis.
The Brewers Interactive Stage will feature the Kids Only Question and Answer session, where youngsters interview players, and Game Flashbacks with fans watching great moments in Brewers history and talking to players that experienced those moments on the field. The Newsradio 620 WTMJ Stage will broadcast live from 11am until 4pm and will include interviews with Brewers players and coaches.
Fans of all ages can visit the FOX Sports Wisconsin Stage to record their own sportscast tape. FOX Sports Wisconsin personalities will visit the Stage throughout the day for autograph opportunities.
Brewers Community Foundation will host a Treasure Hunt, featuring some hard to find Brewers items on sale as well as a live auction at 11:30am on the Interactive Stage. Additionally, Brewers Community Foundation will run two 50/50 Raffles throughout the day.

Rated 3 out of 5 by CulinaryCailliers from So - So cutting boards These are nice if you are preparing a large meal and need to have multiple boards going at once. I would not use these everyday due to their flimsiness and their ability to stain easily.Date published: 2017-06-14Rated 2 out of 5 by meems2 from Non-slip feature did not last I love the premise of these non-slip cutting boards, however, the non-slip feature only lasted for about two weeks. I now have to place a towel under the boards to prevent sliding while chopping foods. On the positive side, they are easy to clean. While advertised as dishwasher safe, I only hand wash them.Date published: 2017-04-25Rated 5 out of 5 by Grannie2 from A handy helper in the kitchen These small, flexible cutting mats are so convenient for small jobs -- easy to wash and easy to transport chopped veggies to the frying pan.Date published: 2016-05-23Rated 3 out of 5 by LizY from absorbs smells I have been using these boards for about 18 months. I love that they are easy to store but, I am in the market for new cutting boards for a couple of reasons. First, as other reviewers have noted, the square size does not fit well in the dishwasher. I am forced to fold them over on one end, which can prevent other dishes from getting cleaned. Second, despite numerous washes, these boards have picked up a mold-like odor that concerns me.Date published: 2015-12-29Rated 5 out of 5 by Nanakuli from dexas flexi cutting boards Love these cutting boards. I have used them for years. Easy to store and clean. AwesomeDate published: 2015-03-20Rated 2 out of 5 by SuSu2 from Never use, Gave 2 away Good idea in concept....but washing any non-wood cutting board in the dishwasher would probably have the same effect.... I bought the square ones which are a little too awkwardly big. I don't care for the size and the thin material. feel like I'm hurting the counters when pounding chicken or .tenderizing steak. I much prefer a thicker plastic/polypropylene board.Date published: 2015-02-04Rated 4 out of 5 by tempess from Good Cutting Boards Nice size, stays relatively in place while cutting. Still have not found/convenient spot in the kitchen to put them, larger than the ones I am replaced.Date published: 2014-09-30Rated 3 out of 5 by KFREVIEW from Pretty but not great These cutting boards are very pretty colors and I love having different colors for different foods. But less than a week after using them daily there are deep score marks from my knives and they already look worn.Date published: 2014-09-06

Sarah Palin's Donors Don't Care Where Money's Going
If SarahPAC were a publicly traded company, its shareholders would be revolting. If SarahPAC were a charity, it could face allegations of fraud.
But because Sarah Palin's political action committee is dedicated primarily topromoting the political profile of the former Alaska governor and former VP nominee, it can get away with spending more than it takes in—and doling out nearly $97 to Palin's inner circle for every $1 that went to elect Republicans.
Over the first half of 2013, SarahPAC took in $460,000, but spent more than $495,000. Despite its stated purpose of supporting like-minded candidates, it donated to only one—giving $5,000 to Jason Smith, a conservative Republican backed by the NRA and pro-life groups who won a special election in Missouri's Eighth Congressional District in June by a margin of 67–27.
In contrast, the group spent almost $484,000 on fundraising, research, speechwriting, and high-end travel. This is a comedown from the 2012 cycle, whenSarahPAC raised eyebrows for spending more than $4.8 million on consultants while doling out $298,500 to candidates.
The people funding Sarah Palin's lifestyle and entourage were primarily small donors. Keep in mind that the Federal Election Commission requires only that campaigns and political groups report the names of those who give more than $200 in what are known as itemized donations. Small donors, of less than $200, are grouped together in un-itemized donations. Over 75 percent of SarahPAC's donations—$341,556 out of a total of $446,880—were un-itemized. And the solicitations for small donors helped line the pockets of the consultants in charge of the effort. In fact, SarahPAC's biggest operating expenditure was spending $87,148 on direct-mail firm HSP Direct, on fundraising.
The Daily Beast reached out to a number of SarahPAC contributors to ask how they felt about their hard-earned money being spent primarily on consultants. "I trust her judgment and her record," said Ronald Shuster of Hatboro, Pennsylvania, who gave $2,013 to the group. Sandra Dyberg of Vacaville, California, who gave $201.60 to SarahPAC, said she felt confident in Palin's hiring decisions. "The consultants that she uses are good consultants," she said. "I've done research on them." No doubt.
Other donors were slightly more skeptical. Steve Auvil of Macungie, Pennsylvania, who donated $250, said this kind of consultant-class largesse was par for the course: "Come on, get real. How much of the DNC's money goes to consultants?"
But SarahPAC seems to be especially focused on paying its consultants, even by contemporary standards.

This is also a European species which has been brought over with its host parasite.
In modern European history the most marked case is that of Venice.

Hi everyone!
This is my first time on this forum but it seems like it could just be the thing I need!
My nanna is 81 (82 in 2 weeks) and was diagnosed with Vascular Dementia well over two years ago. Recently she was still living in her own home with a carer going in every morning; one morning she went wandering and fell - her neighbours found her luckily and rang my mum but it turned out they had seen her wandering round a few times before. She also had started hallucinating - talking to people and looking at 'people' that wernt there and also talking to me about me but she could not make the link that I was infact the person she was talking about if that makes sense.
She was urgently assessed and went into restbite in a local residential care home - we currently are awaiting a care plan meeting on monday and then the social worker is going to panel to see if we can get funding for her to live there permanently.
My struggles at the moment are that myself and my sister were the ones who took her to the home as my mum was too upset and in a way I feel guilty even though it was the safest thing for her. As well as that I see her very regularly (saw her wednesday) and she looks so fragile, her mobility has worsened and she just wasnt 'with it' not chatting and just responding with yes's.
My mum is not coping either she cries on the phone to me about it and I'm trying to be strong for her and my nanna.
Not really sure how to deal with this sudden decline in her mental and physical state....any advice would be great!
I'm trying to keep positive by making her a scrapbook which has pictures of all through her life so I can sit with her and go through it but I know the day is coming that it wont be possible anymore!

There used to be a band called Semisonic--I say used to be because I'm reasonably sure all the members have long since started selling real estate or detachable gutters and doing things that don't require guitars. Their big, inescapable hit was called "Closing Time" and during my freshman year of college, it was the anthem that soundtracked countless second-semester drunkfests. (Confidential to My Mother: By "Drunkfests" I mean "Endless nights spent in the library studying, taking notes, and making good use of your tuition dollars." Obviously).
That song was always leaking out of the speakers at our favorite off-campus dinner joint, a Mexican place with cheap-ass enchiladas and a tacky hand-painted mural done by an artist that clearly didn't understand perspective drawing or homoeroticism. The ambiance was limited to a row of sombreros hanging over several of the tables--so you could park yourself in either the Stereotype or Non-Stereotype section--and overhead lights were dimmer than the waitstaff, who would accept any fresh-from-Kinko's fake ID even though you were clearly not thirty-seven, nor were you a black man.
At the end of the evening, the waiters would be lazily upending the wooden chairs onto the tables as we'd hold up our oversized margaritas and shout along with the chorus, "You don't have to go home/But you can't stay here." Then we'd shuffle off to the parking lot, hoping to make it back to campus before the floorboards of the DD's Ford Taurus were carpeted with thirty-six ounces of crushed ice and off-brand tequila.
It's a solid decade later and I'm still ordering Special #11--a quesadilla, an enchilada, and swift, unyielding diarrhea--at least once a month. The place is still popular with Wake Forest freshmen and I'll eye them jealously from my side of the vinyl booth, hating their popped collars and cell phone cameras and collagen.
A few weeks ago I was there for dinner, blotting the grease off a basket of tortilla chips and drinking for entirely different reasons when--as if David E. Kelley designed my life--that same Semisonic song trickled out of the speakers. And I decided they were right: I don't have to go home but I can't stay here.
So, readers who wonder where the hell all this cilantro-garnished exposition is going, I can't stay here. I'm planning a move across the country. It's not where you think--I won't be double-parking a UHaul in Los Angeles, nor burrowing into Hugh Laurie's laundry hamper--and it's sooner than you expect. I'd like to think I'll be unpacking my Elvis Costello t-shirts and reassembling my bookshelves before the end of the year, but realistically, it'll probably be January.
Where am I heading? Seattle. Yes, Seattle, with its indie rock and Starbucks oversaturation and perpetually wet socks. There are a number of reasons that it's [hopefully] the place for me, but none of them are entertaining and lots of them make me sound almost responsible, so we'll skip over that. Instead, let's talk about why I'm leaving. I've lived in North Carolina for a decade, counting college, and I have little to show for it other than a liberal arts degree and a few dents in my heart.
BUT my pair of years as a freelance writer have gone better than I could've ever expected, with the kinds of experiences that haven't paid well but have definitely paid off--if that makes sense at all--and the highlights on my resume haven't been from this region (or even this country) so I'm not losing anything but a ZIP code and a shitty neighbor fond of pre-dawn piano concerts by skipping out.
I've also grown increasingly tired of living in a town small enough that I'm constantly reminded of what I used to do or where I used to work or who I used to date until he decided it would be cool to leave me for a withered creature who looks like a Slim Jim with hair. I'm beyond ready to turn my attention to what I can do, what I will be, and what's waiting around the next turn, rather than continually adjusting my life's rearview mirror.
Or "Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end" as Semisonic sang. If you hear that sentiment when you're stabbing an undercooked bite of Grade-Z beef, it could make you think it's a sign you should re-evaluate your life. Or it could make you think of one Beginning shitting out another, smaller Beginning.
Either way, I'm packing my Gore-Tex and Scotchguarding my shoes and flying into the Sea-Tac airport on Saturday, staying for a week to apartment shop and meet with a handful of insanely helpful contacts and also to shove my resume in the face of the unsuspecting. If you're a media outlet in the greater Seattle area, prepare to be cold-called. Also, if anyone's willing to give a hand with this job search, I'd dig it like no other. Any advice, tips and tricks are all appreciated and will be met with a sloppy kiss to each of your foreheads.

I experimented with cracking my WEP. It was easy to do when I left one laptop cracking and used my other laptop to surf the web.
The data # increased consistently and reached 40k in no time. I now want to experiment using both laptops to crack my AP. I have thoroughly searched google and it seems to indicate that I should be "creating more IV's".
I tried this command:
aireplay-ng -2 -b <AP MAC> -h <Client MAC> -n 100 -p 0841 -c FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF wlan0 to no avail. It told me it could find no such BSSID.
I also tried:
aireplay-ng -3 -b <AP MAC Address> -h <Client MAC Address> wlan0 and this didn't work either.
So, what would be the best way to crack my AP's WEP with two laptops?

EDIT: I can't post evidence of search because you need 15 posts to post links.

Taylor Swift to receive CMA's Pinnacle Award
Listen to Taylor Swift on iHeartRadio
"Country Music's Biggest Night" aka the CMA Awards are right around the corner, and among the many talented artists being recognized at Wednesday's awards show is Taylor Swift. The international superstar will receive CMA's Pinnacle Award this year!
The award calls attention to an artist who has accomplished national and international excellence with concert performances and record sales in country music. The Pinnacle award was created in 2005, and presented to Garth Brooks who is the only other recipient.
In a press release, CMA President of the Board Ed Hardy says, "I can't think of a better opportunity than 'Country Music's Biggest Night™' to present an award of this magnitude to an artist of this caliber. I've known Taylor since she was 16. She came to my office with her Mom to play her music and I was amazed. Taylor's outstanding career epitomizes the definition of the Pinnacle Award."
With all of Taylor Swift's record-breaking, and bar-setting achievements throughout her career so far, at only 23 years old (especially after her last album RED), there is certainly no one more deserving of the award.
Congratulations Taylor!
The Pinnacle Award will be presented to the country/pop star during the 47th Annual CMA Awards, which airs live on Wednesday, November 6th at 8 p.m. (ET) on ABC.

The cases run as far back as the Vietnam War, with the most common long-term effects being post-traumatic stress disorder and depression, the AP notes based on Department of Veterans Affairs data. The VA says one in five women and one in 100 men screen positive for "military sexual trauma," defined by the VA as "any sexual activity where you are involved against your will," ranging from sexual harassment to rape.

SANTA BARBARA, CA -- Big Bear Import Brokers Inc. has upgraded its Eyeprize amusement novelty, which combines a videogame and bulk merchandising. The new version, called the Eyeprize X, is taller, has larger touchscreen monitors and features LED illumination atop the machine.
Eyeprize X has the same compact footprint as its predecessor, 24" deep by 33" wide, but is about 24" taller, or 78" high. There are two 22" HD touchscreens, compared with the original 15" display. Topping off the new machine is a state-of-the-art, custom-built LED display at the top of the unit.
"We've used some of the same cutting-edge LED lighting technology found all over Las Vegas to light up the top of the X, attracting eyes from across any location," said Big Bear's Aaron Pelto. Eyeprize games, which comply with Made in the USA standards, vend a prize in a 4" capsule with each transaction, so there's a winner every time.
Pelto said the upgrades to Eyeprize are aimed at capturing attention and enhancing the player experience in the same compact footprint as the original machine.
The new unit has the same features that have made Big Bear equipment a favorite among amusement and bulk operators, including a heavy-duty steel frame and a triple-lock theft-prevention system; it's equipped with a 500-note uploading acceptor from Pyramid Technologies. Eyeprizes also have motion detectors that trigger video and audio play, automatically changing machine modes from dormant to active.
Big Bear is targeting Eyeprize machines of all sizes for such high-traffic locations as movie theaters, FECs and bowling alleys.
Contact Big Bear Import Brokers Inc. at (888) 219-8500 or (805) 617-3622.

Miller '13 to Receive State's Highest Honor for Individual Achievement
The Lincoln Academy of Illinois' Order of Lincoln award honors the top senior from each four-year university in Illinois. This year the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign selected College of Business senior and business administration major Benjamin Martin Miller '13 to receive the State's highest student honor for excellence in curricular and extracurricular activities.
Miller's Lincoln Academy of Illinois membership is reserved for an elite few, like Mary Ann G. McMorrow, Chief Justice, Supreme Court of Illinois, Ronald Reagan, President of the United States, and College of Business students Mark Paik '10 and Billy Tabrizi '12. Miller is the third business student in four years to receive this prestigious award!
Miller has distinguished himself academically and socially as a leader among talented ILLINOIS students. Miller is a member of the College of Business Honors Program and the College of Business James Scholars. When Miller joined Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE) as a freshman, it was a group of 10 members with no projects and little organizational structure; as President, he created a strong organizational structure and led more than 45 members with 8 major projects, including "Go Green on Green Street," which brought together over 1000 individuals to educate the local community, and international efforts such as helping teach entrepreneurial skills to local farmers and business owners in Uganda and Nigeria.
Besides his work with SIFE, Miller also works with other student leaders in the College of Business on an ongoing task force charged with improving communications between students and the administration. If that weren't enough, he also serves as an advisor for his own Supply Chain Management Program, holding 10 office hours per week.
Jewell White, assistant dean of admissions, who co-authored Miller's nomination with John Hedeman, former assistant dean of honors, praised him saying, "We are extremely proud of Ben. He represents the true spirit of leadership that we strive for in the College of Business."
Miller and White will attend the Student Laureate Award Ceremony in Springfield, IL on November 3, 2012.

Nancy Foster is Long Beach's First Lady, community activist and a mental health advocate. She and Mayor Bob Foster have been married for 43 years.
Q: Are you going to watch the election on Tuesday or are you sick of politics by now?
A: I'll have the TV on for sure. I'll be watching closely. It should be a very close race.
Q: I'm nervous about it. When it comes to things like sports and politics, when I really want someone to win I don't like close games. I like blowouts.
A: Yes, like the Giants did in the World Series.
Q: I know Bob's a big Giants fan, even from back in the day when he and the team were in New York. Did he brainwash you?
A: No! I was a Giants fan before I met Bob. I grew up in Santa Clara in the Bay Area, and when I was a little girl, it was one of the things I could talk to my dad about. Then when I married Bob, we raised our two boys in Sacramento, so we were always rooting for the Giants. And the Raiders, too. Raising two sons, and Bob, so it's like three sons, really, we always watched the Raiders play on Sunday. Plus, I've always been a tomboy. Even when I was pregnant I always knew I was going to have boys.
Q: How's your cat? When he got sick, you spent a lot of time at home with him.
A: Animals. I swear, you get so attached to them. Noah is pretty good right now. He's eating a lot, but not gaining any weight. But he has a good life. He has a deck off our bedroom, and there's a box out there that he climbs up and he can see all over the neighborhood. We call it the Top of the World. I'll ask Bob where Noah is and he'll say, "Oh, he's out on Top of the World."
Q: And are you on top of the world these days, with your bipolar issues?
A: I've been on the same medication for quite some time. I still have spells when it's kind of hard to get out of the house, but it's slight. Now I know that if I push myself and get out with people, I'll feel a lot better. It's like a fix. Once I get out it takes my mind off it. But I have had spells where I can't get on the computer, then you know it's bad.
Q: I know the depression can get really bad, and people tell you to go out and ride a bike and get some exercise and you'll get over it. But that's more like if you're feeling a bit down. When you have depression, you can't even open the garage to get your bike out.
A: There were times I would agonize all day over going to the dry cleaners a couple of blocks away. The ordinary things like that become ordeals. The thought of doing something like going to the dry cleaners is overwhelming.
Q: Was Bob frustrated about your bipolar disorder, or was he understanding?
A: He was very understanding. When I was 36 years old and I started the medication, he could sense me coming out of it before I did. He knows a lot about mental health issues now. He learned everything from me.
Q: How do you feel when people say bad things about the mayor?
A: I'm very protective of Bob. Sometimes I read the comments at the end of stories about him....
Q: That's a mistake.
A: I know Bob and I know how good he is. When he was at Edison and the company stock was down, he told his executives that they couldn't take a bonus that year. That was half his paycheck. He said, "We should not be taking money when people are doing without." And you have to put in the fact that he takes Navy showers.
Q: Baby showers? He's a pretty big man.
A: Navy! Navy showers! He does it to conserve water. Nobody knows that but me and Bob. We have learned a lot from each other. We complement each other. Bob gave me a card once and he wrote "You make me a better person." He's a really good man, and he has brought me out of my shell.
Q: He's considering another run for mayor or a higher office. Do you have any input on that decision?
A: You better believe I have input. A lot of people tell him he should run for mayor, or run for governor. You know something? I can hear him breathing at night, I can tell he's tired. He's my husband. I think it's time for him to take a step back and really enjoy life. There's plenty he can do for the city and the state without holding office. So, I just plant little seeds here and there. When he goes up to Sacramento on business, he comes back saying it's so depressing. I say, "remember that." And when we go out to our place in the desert and he says "I wish we didn't have to go back," I say, "remember that."

Arnold School researcher to deliver prestigious TEDTalk
Margaret M. Lamb, firstname.lastname@example.com, 803-777-5400
Dr. Julius Fridriksson of the Arnold School of Public Health will join the ranks of prestigious speakers chosen for TED (Technology, Entertainment and Design), which brings the world's best presenters -- scientists, philosophers, musicians, religious leaders, philanthropists and many others – to share their ideas with the world.
Julius Fridriksson
Admission to attend TEDTalks, which are held throughout the world, is by application only. Applicants for Fridriksson's talk, set for later this month, were selected last year.
He will join the ranks of Bill Gates, Frank Gehry, Daniel Wolpert, Billy Graham, Annie Lennox, Quincy Jones, and Bono, all of whom have been TED speakers. Fridriksson was selected as one of about eight speakers from more than 100 applicants last summer 2011. He appeared before a committee to discuss his presentation and explain the type of talk that he would give.
"It has been my dream for years to give a TEDTalk," Fridriksson said. "Many of the best scientists who have made groundbreaking discoveries have been TED speakers. Just to be able to give a lecture in the same format as some of these distinguished scientists is humbling and a true honor."
TED seeks the most interesting people on earth and lets them discuss what they are passionate about. Fridriksson's passion is helping people learn to communicate after a stroke. His research is concentrated on aphasia, a communication disorder that impairs a person's ability to process language and formulate speech.
He is considered one of the world's leading authorities on stroke and aphasia and is on the fast track to make a difference in the lives of stroke patients and their families.
"In South Carolina, unfortunately, almost everyone has a family member or friend who has had a stroke," said Dr. Tom Chandler, Arnold School dean, said. "The findings from Dr. Fridriksson's research offer hope to many in the Palmetto State and beyond."
Fridriksson joined the Arnold School faculty in 2001 and has been hailed by scientific colleagues as one of the "most distinguished pioneers" in the study of speech disabilities related to stroke.
Recently, he was named a Health Care Hero in research for the region and was selected the 2011 recipient of the Louis M. DiCarlo Award for Clinical Achievement from the American Speech and Hearing Foundation. The award recognizes significant accomplishments in the advancement of clinical service in speech-language pathology and/or audiology.
TEDTalks have become so popular that TED's website was relaunched around them to enable a global audience to enjoy free eyeball-to-eyeball access to some of the world's greatest thinkers, leaders and teachers. Visit the TED site to learn more the "riveting talks from remarkable people."

REDLANDS - A dentist and his family will travel to Burma in mid-December to do charity work for a school that helps abandoned, abused or neglected children.
The trip will be the second time that Keith Song and his family, including wife Tami, daughter Keaton and son Tanner, will provide dental work to children at the Bamboo School as well as other villagers.
The school - founded in 2000 by Catherine Riley-Bryan - is on the border of Burma, also known as Mayanmar, and Thailand in the remote village of BongTi.
It has a medical ministry, mobile clinics and ambulance services to the Sai Yok Hospital, and a school of language teaching its students English and Thai and the Bible.
Riley-Bryan founded the school after resigning from the Thailand Adventist Mission and learning about the Karen Hill Tribe that was affected by fighting along the border of Thailand during a 1940s war.
Keaton Song, a 17-year-old senior at Loma Linda Academy, learned of the school through her church - Loma Linda University Church - and went on a philanthropic effort to learn more in December 2011.
It was there her eyes were opened, she said.
"I just came home and was like, `What am I doing in America?' It was a reverse culture shock," she said. "I didn't know what to expect. And I don't think there's a whole lot to do to prepare someone for this trip."
Along with church members, the Songs built bamboo dormitories for the more than 80 children who live at the compound.
The number of children changes often, as some are sometimes removed from the school or they leave to seek higher education, Keaton said.
After her first trip with her church, she enlisted her family to help.
Keith Song is known for his philanthropic work. In addition to owning his own dentistry on Cajon Street, Song provides low-cost dental work through the Assistance League, said his daughter.
In August the family provided dental care for students and villagers.
To help, Keith Song enlisted his wife, a dentist herself, and his son.
"We pretty much took care of all the children (at the school)," Tami Song said. "When we finished with them, the (school's) headmaster came with his assistants, but he was too afraid to receive treatment, so he made his assistants get their teeth fixed. We provided fillings...everything, including implants."
The Songs plan to visit the school at least twice a year, Keaton said.
Members of her congregation also will attend as part of the church's Global Outreach efforts, the family said.
To raise awareness of the situation, Keaton is planning a film project to share the children's stories.
She also will give a presentation on her experience at 8 p.m. Tuesday in Duke Hall at the University of Redlands. Her father will open the discussion, which is sponsored by both the Morning and Noon Rotary clubs.
Tami Song said that many of her husband's clients have also expressed an interest in helping, including a Redlands plumber who wants to go to the school to provide plumbing needs.
"Everybody asks.... People are very interested," she said. "Whatever (people) are good at, they can ask if there's a need and they can come and do it."

Since we began producing "Just Seen It"
in 2011, the show has grown from a very
modest beginning in my living room to what
is now a full-fledged studio production that
airs on 246 public TV stations nationwide
and is also available on the Web via Hulu.
To create the episodes, we use four cameras
backed up by separate AJA Ki Pro Mini
recorders. These recorders allow us to operate
more efficiently by providing easy access
to files that are immediately ready to
edit, thus speeding up the show's workflow.
The Ki Pro's small form factor allows us
to easily mount them onto our cameras and
record the footage in ProRes 422 which
provides fast tracking of this content from
camera to the editorial process. We are easily
able to upload the ProRes 422 files to
our Mac Pro work stations using Sonnet
QIO CF cards and bring them smoothly
and easily into Final Cut for editing.
Before we started using the Ki Pro Minis,
we'd been using P2 cameras for recording.
This required us to first transcode all
of the footage captured to DVCPRO-100
and then repeat the process to take in into
ProRes 422 for editing. As you can imagine,
that was very time consuming, especially
for a small production crew such as ours.
The Ki Pro Minis have radically improved
our production and post processes. We can
shoot on all four cameras simultaneously
without having to do the laborious transcoding
of footage, and the 10-bit ProRes that
the Ki Pro Minis deliver gives us very high-quality,
yet manageable, files that are easy
to work with and look fantastic. And this is
possible without requiring a lot of storage
capacity. The transfer process is enhanced
significantly also, as downloading a full 32
GB compact flash card takes only one-quarter
of the time previously required, and our
digital transfer processing time is some 400
percent faster than before.
Since we moved to the Ki Pro Mini recorders
we've managed to significantly
reduce turnaround time to edit, while also
making the show look really amazing. The
AJA Ki Pro has allowed us to quickly deliver
quality entertainment programming that
resonates with passionate movies and the
TV show fans that are looking for smart,
honest and funny reviews of the latest entertainment
David Freedman is creator and show-runner
behind the original weekly review
show "Just Seen It." He may be contacted

By Bob Smithson
During my 68 years of life I have had the opportunity to play and or coach from little league to the minor leagues. I have also had the opportunity to play on, modify and maintain many baseball facilities as well as have input into the design and construction of other facilities.
Over the last several weeks I have had the opportunity to coach a summer baseball team. In the course of our schedule to date we have traveled in Washington as far south as Federal Way and east to Pullman. The facilities we have played on varied from premier to above average, with many sites having been multi-purpose artificial surfaces. Some were artificial infield only and some were full artificial. There was one middle school that sported an artificial infield. The communities raved about the advantages to youth programs and the little to no maintenance that was required. On the baseball field, the only dirt was that on the mound and was so easy to protect with a small tarp. Some facilities are considering a mound using artificial material which takes away any unplayable issues.
Then last weekend we found ourselves at Cascade High School for a series of games. was truly appalled at the condition of the baseball field. It was by far the worst facility the team has played on this year, even bordering on dangerous. Having coached for 14 years at the CHS site and many years at other sites, I have seen an incredible number of baseball facilities and wonder why the facility is in such disrepair.
Since our recent games, I have discovered that the very strong defensive CHS baseball team made more errors at their own facility than away, a direct result of the density of the infield and the incredible lip buildup. While prepping the field I noticed a large run-off area from one of the sprinkler heads that over soaked the infield and nearly made it unplayable. I ask the question: Is there someone on-site who takes care of the facility? Then, I exit the freeway at 41st and see the $25 million dollar facility dedicated to administration and think of what could have been. Artificial fields all around for both Jackson High School and Cascade High School.
What an incredible legacy it would have been for the school board to have really made the truly hard decision to serve the community and students with safe, almost maintenance-free, revenue-producing artificial surfaces.
Their decision to postpone real student and community needs was not hard. All it took was a simple board vote to spend 25 million capital reserve dollars. The truly hard decision would have been to float a bond and let the voters really have the input they were seeking and spend the reserves on kids and community.
I know without a doubt that board members come from various backgrounds and bring diverse agendas to the table, but it is really hard to understand the spending of $25 million for reasons that were quoted by the board president at the time. (Adults couldn't locate some of the administrative sites and adults had to stand up during some board presentations.) Are they really serious? Adults can't read a map or use an iPhone or call for directions, and the board can't use the divisible classrooms in the existing structure along with closed circuit TV for the board meetings. It's almost like buying a new car because the tires are worn.
So, the new structure is almost completed and the board and superintendent will look at this major accomplishment, add it to their resume material, talk about the great olive branch (all weather tracks) dispensed to JHS and CHS. I hope every parent with a soccer player, football player, softball player and baseball player, as well as all PE and band participants, at JHS and CHS reads this and renews their resolve to hold this school board accountable for their truly self-serving use of $25 million from capital reserves. There were complaints upon complaints about athletic facilities being in horrible condition and dangerous, but I would be willing to guess that the number of complaints about standing at board meetings or not being able to find a particular office location in the ESD system were really very minimal. I certainly didn't see any letters to The Herald complaining about it.
Having seen the disparity for years as to what the different sites have is truly amazing. Everett football (artificial) Everett soccer (artificial) Everett softball (artificial) Everett PE (artificial)/ Then we look at CHS/JHS facilities (all questionable except for the new tracks).
Bob Smithson lives in Mill Creek.

Kyle and Kim Richards: Two Cool Beverly Hills Moms
Wow … who knew the uber-rich aunts of Paris Hilton could be so down-to-earth?
-Cathy Hale, MommyQ
I had no idea Paris Hilton was blessed with such cool aunts! It took a few episodes until I realized Kim Richards and Kyle Richards, of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, are actually Paris and Nicky Hilton's aunties. Yes, Kim and Kyle are Kathy Hilton's (Paris and Nicky's mom) sisters. What a beautiful trio!
Prior to my "ah-ha" moment about the famous sisterhood, I was totally admiring how devoted Kyle is to her children. Although Kim has some confidence and relationship issues, she's really enthralled by her kids too. Then I found out who they were and I was even more impressed. When you don't have a gazillion dollars, I think you assume ridiculously wealthy moms might not have the same love for their children as normal moms. I know it sounds awful, but when you can afford multiple nannies, a chef, a trainer, your own personal island and new pair of custom Louboutins on a daily basis, I assume your priorities are a tad affected. I think this show, or at least some of it, is proving me wrong.
I'm not oblivious to the editing process. I know producers can make people seem more or less loving than they actually are. Some things just seem very real about reality television and I happen to think Kyle and Kim's dedication to motherhood is one of those things. Kyle is a hands-on mom who doesn't even want to take a romantic strip with her hubby unless she can bring the kids. Kim prefers to spend time with her kids over anyone else. They both genuinely love being moms. Hurray for that!

A few fun factoids about Kyle and Kim:
Kyle Richards Bio:
Kyle is the sassy, sexy and witty little sister, born in 1969. She has four daughters, Farrah (21), Alexia (14), Sophia (10) and Portia (2). Portia is such a little cutie-pie! Kyle was an actress just like her sister, Kim. Do you recognize Kyle from the hit television show ER? She appeared in 21 episodes from 1998-2006. She has also been in Little House on the Prairie, Love Boat, Fantasy Island and Beverly Hills, 90210. She also played the younger version of her sister's character in Escape to Witch Mountain in 1975.
Kyle Quote:
"A normal day for me is waking up at 6 o'clock in the morning. I wake up early so I can read the newspaper so I can have a little time to myself, because I have very little time to myself being a mom of four kids."
Kim Richards Bio:
Kim is the middle sister, born in 1964. She also has four children, Brooke (24), Whitney (20), Chad (19), and Kimberly (15). Kim was in lots of television shows and movies and is the most accomplished actress in the family. She signed with Disney Studios when she was 10-years-old. Her show and movies include: Escape to Witch Mountain, No Deposit, No Return and Return to Witch Mountain, Black Snake Moan, Tuff Turf, Meatballs Part II, Diff'rent Strokes, Little House on the Prairie, CHiPs, Magnum, P.I., The Dukes of Hazzard, and The Rockford Files.
Kim Quote:
"Although, I enjoy every moment I share with all my kids, I really do love my alone time with Kimberly. She's my youngest, and I cherish the moments we share. She is such an old soul and I love how straightforward she is. I really admire that about her."
Anyway, are you blown away by the fact that the shows that seemed like it could be the fakest of them all is actually showcasing moms we can be proud of?

RMS fuck everyone we can have our own little clique if you want. great to have you back.
I never posted or confirmed that someone was assaulted, that was mentioned by someone else unrelated to me.
Im guessing if i went to an Extreme brawl my reception would depend on if it was Jeramy Baileys Official Extreme Brawl or Andy Sardines fake Extremely small.
I think anything Andy Sardine is involved with will probably have assaults and riots going on, as you can see by reading this thread and the one which led to this, he is an unstable guy who likes to make threats whether they be for legal actions or to fight or 'kill cunts like you in jail'
