Like many musicians who play live, I tend to have a love/hate relationship with those who spin vinyl for a living. Then this morning I happened to come across an alto sax player from Moscow who seems to have very successfully combined playing live, with the sounds of club music.
The YouTube channel for Syntheticsax—who's real name is Mikhail Morozov—is an interesting mix of electronica, smooth jazz, funk, and a number other genres all mixed together, that provides the listener with an eclectic potpourri of saxophone-driven music.
By watching a few of his videos it's obvious he performs at dance clubs regularly—makes sense, since some of his music is very club oriented. Check out his rendition of Baker Street.
Other videos show him working with singer Laura Grig, while still other videos—presumably shot for music channels—are typical of smooth jazz videos that feature sax players walking on a beach or in other scenic settings, contemplating life.
Since I don't read Russian, I don't really know what people are saying about Synthetic sax, but based on the number of smilies and thumbs up he's receiving in his comments, and the number of people who seem to like what he's doing in the clubs, I'd say he is a pretty popular saxophonist in Russia.
To find out more about Mikhail Morozov—AKA Syntheticsax—check out his MySpace page.

Last month, a federal district court in California ruled on a dispute over the meaning of a life insurance policy provision stating that the "[c]urrent monthly cost of insurance rates will be determined by the Company based on its expectation as to future mortality experience." The court held that the phrase "expectation as to future mortality experience" encompassed only changes in the "rate of death" and did not permit the insurer to consider expected changes in persistency or the expected average amount of benefits to be paid. Yue v. Conseco Life Insurance Company, CV08-1506 (C.D. Cal. 2011). (Please click here for the opinion.) This Legal Alert discusses the Yue decision and reports on other developments in litigation challenging cost of insurance charges.
Yue v. Conseco
On January 19, 2011, the federal district court in Yue v. Conseco Life Insurance Company granted summary judgment for plaintiff on claims for declaratory relief in a class action challenging the insurer's announced increases in current monthly cost of insurance (COI) rates. The increases, adopted in 2002, would have taken effect beginning in the 21st year of the policies, and some policyholders would have been charged the increased rates beginning in 2010. On December 7, 2009, the court certified a nationwide class. In 2010, the insurer sought to have the case dismissed as moot on the ground that it had "definitively" decided not to implement the challenged COI increase it had adopted in 2002. The court, however, held that the decision not to implement the rate increase did not moot the claim for declaratory relief, because the insurer maintained that the methodology it used to calculate the challenged COI rate increase was permissible under the policy.
In its January 19, 2011 ruling, the court held that the insurer's methodology for calculating the 2002 COI increases was impermissible under the policy. The "Cost of Insurance Rates" section of the policy provided that "[c]urrent monthly cost of insurance rates will be determined by the Company based on its expectation as to future mortality experience." The insurer argued that "its expectation as to future mortality experience" included three factors: (1) the expected rate of death or "mortality rates," (2) the number of policyholders expected to continue being insured (i.e., persistency), and (3) the average amount of death benefits the insurer expected to pay for those insureds who died while their policies remained in force. The court agreed with the plaintiff, however, that the insurer's approach was impermissible because it took into account factors other than "mortality," which the court defined as meaning only the "rate of death." The court granted summary judgment for the plaintiff on the declaratory relief claim, further stating that "'expectation as to future mortality experience' . . . does not mean something that would allow COI rates to be based on a comparison of the cost of projected death claims against the amount of revenue derived from the COI charges to be received from Policyholders." Judgment was entered on February 2, and the insurer has announced that it will appeal the decision.

text: The mystery of Florida's monster eyeball has been solvedRobbie Gonzalez10/15/12 3:30pmFiled to: Holy crap wtfbiologyZoologyEyeeyeballFloridaCraig McClainDeep sea newsSwordfishtweetFb36EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalinkLast week, a softball-sized eyeball washed ashore in Florida. At the time, researcher Charles Messing guessed the eye belonged to a swordfish. A day later, Deep Sea News' Craig McClain got in touch with Sönke Johnsen, "an expert on everything visual in marine organisms" (awesome, right?). Johnsen told McClain the fleshy orb was "definitely a swordfish eye." And today, researchers at the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission released their official verdict. Survey says? Swordfish eye.Advertisement"Experts on site and remotely have viewed and analyzed the eye, and based on its color, size and structure, along with the presence of bone around it, we believe the eye came from a swordfish," said the FWC's Joan Herrera in a statement. "Based on straight-line cuts visible around the eye, we believe it was removed by a fisherman and discarded."So there you have it. According to Herrera, the FWC is still waiting on genetic confirmations, but we think this case is pretty much closed — even if the FWC's announcement came 3 days after the "definite" confirmation from Johnsen and McClain, who I think we can safely say won the internet on this one. Coming in close-second on the whole winning-the-internet thing, however, is io9 reader Michael Franchina, who dreamt up this awesome photoshop of the eye:

Editor's note: David Frum, resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, was special assistant to President George W. Bush in 2001-2. He is the author of six books, including "Comeback: Conservatism That Can Win Again" and the editor of frumforum.com
(CNN) -- Did you know that there exists an all-natural remedy for memory loss? Weight gain? Macular degeneration? Prostate enlargement? These products are so successful that clinical testing has already begun! Just listen to the following testimonial from an unidentified person ...
As these ads blare at you from your favorite AM radio station, perhaps you wonder: How can this be legal? Since the late 1960s, aspirin makers have been trying to win the right to tell the public that a daily low-dose tablet can help prevent heart disease. They have been told no, and no, and no again.
Federal regulators are so nervous about over-selling aspirin's benefits that they have restricted statements about aspirin to the most bland and basic. Yet while the statements about aspirin have to be cushioned in the vaguest generalities, snake oil flim-flam can be huckstered in the most truth-defying way, thanks to a 1994 law coaxed through Congress by the people who make these drugs.
The law bears the long title of the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994. It was sponsored in House of Representatives by Rep. Dan Burton, R-Indiana, and in the Senate by Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, and Dick Durbin, D-Illinois.
The DSHEA law draws a line between synthesized medicines like aspirin and remedies made from herbs, minerals, vitamins and amino acids. This latter group was recategorized as "dietary supplements" -- that is, as foods rather than drugs.
"Drugs" are subjected to exacting scientific trial to prove them both safe and also effective. Sellers of dietary supplements are not required to prove that their remedies work. They are not even required to prove them safe -- as "foods" they are presumed safe unless shown otherwise. "Drugs" must disclose any risk of side effect. (That's why those erectile dysfunction ads terrify TV audiences with their references to four-hour erections.)
Dietary supplements bear no such burden -- which is why St. John's wort can be sold as an anti-depressant, without any mention of the disturbing indications that the herb weakens the effectiveness of birth control pills.
"Drug" advertising must be pre-approved by the Food and Drug Administration, which minutely reviews the ads' accuracy. Dietary supplement advertising is regulated by the Federal Trade Commission.
So long as supplements avoid promises to cure a specific disease, their sellers can say pretty much whatever they want, provided only that they have some kind of supporting evidence on file.
That evidence does not have to meet any kind of scientific test: pretty much any pattern of ink on paper will do the job. I cannot say, "My rosemary-sage-thyme-and-oregano tablets cure AIDS." But if I pay my cousin $100 to do a few experiments, I can claim, "My tablets boost the immune system -- and clinical trials are under way!"
(There is an exception to the permissive rules about advertising natural products: wine. There is substantial evidence that a glass of red wine a day reduces the risk of heart attack. The laws of most states forbid any hint or suggestion that moderate alcohol use might confer health benefits. Still, if you ask the scientists, wine has better grounds to call itself a health food than does, say, echinacea!)
Fifteen years after receiving the favor of Congress, dietary supplements have grown into a $24 billion a year industry. Most of the products sold by the industry are merely useless.
For those who eat a balanced diet, scientists have found no quantifiable benefit from taking multivitamins. On the other hand, multivitamins probably won't do any harm. It would be better to give the $10 you spend on a jar of pills to the Salvation Army, but at least you are not poisoning yourself.
The same could not be said, alas, for the unfortunate customers of a Belgian herbal dispensary who bought a supplement that contained the herb Aristolochia fangi. The A. fangi herb is rich in aristolochic acid, a carcinogen -- and users experienced an outbreak of urinary tract cancers. A. Fangi has since been banned in the European Union. It remains legal in the United States.
As outrages go, Congress' special favor to the herbal supplement industry might seem relatively small stuff: a splash in the torrent of the $2 trillion per year that Americans spend on health and wellness.
And yet in the midst of a great national debate over health care, this small outrage has some serious implications. Advocates for the herbal supplement industry justify their special sweet deal by championing the right of consumers to make their own "health choices."
Individual choice certainly sounds like the American way. But the fact is that most of us are not well positioned to make intelligent health choices. If we try to play our own doctor, we are going to expose our health -- and our money -- to risk and exploitation.
As individuals, we have trouble distinguishing between anecdotes: "My neighbor took zinc for her cold and she said it really helped," and data: Most colds last four days, so you could smoke yak-dung cigarettes on day three and feel better on day four.
We are poor balancers of risk: Look at the rising number of Americans who resist taking vaccines because of astronomically remote chances that something might go wrong.
We are vulnerable to placebos: "Hey -- I took the 30-day free sample and I feel sure my vision did improve!"
We are swayed by prejudice and ideology: The film-maker Spike Lee wrote in Rolling Stone in 1992: "I'm convinced AIDS is a government-engineered disease."
The reason we should defer to experts is not that the experts know everything. Of course they don't. It's just that they know more than non-experts do.
It's not that science has all the answers. It doesn't. It's just that astrologers, shamans, and natural healers have none of them.
Americans spend over 50 percent more per person on their health than anyone else on earth. For all that extra money, Americans see very little benefit. Americans rank 42nd on earth in life expectancy, 29th in infant mortality.
Improving and rationalizing this costly and dysfunctional system is a gigantic, maybe impossible, task. But one small reform could strike a meaningful blow for reason and cost-effectiveness: Apply the rules governing the advertising of aspirin to the advertising of oregano tablets. Repeal the DSHEA law and give the Food and Drug Administration full authority over every manufactured substance that purports to promote health or relieve illness.
The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of David Frum.

During today's Worldwide Developers Conference keynote, Tim Cook and other Apple executives gave us a fast-paced, broad-ranging look at some of the features we can expect with iOS 8, including improvements to Messages, keyboard enhancements in the form of QuickType and access to third-party keyboards, HealthKit, Extensibility, and more. Along with the features that were demoed on stage, an iOS 8 graphic displayed some additional functions that went largely under the radar, many of which look quite interesting. For example, iOS 8 will apparently display battery usage by app, a handy feature that will let users monitor the battery drain of specific apps, shutting down those that are drawing too much power. Image courtesy of Evan ColemaniPads will gain the ability to take Panoramic photos like the iPhone, while the Camera will gain an instant burst mode, a timer mode, and separate controls for focus and exposure. iBooks will support an auto night mode and the ability to organize books by series, while notifications will include travel time. A mysterious Tips app, which was first depicted in an early screenshot of iOS 8, is also mentioned, though it is unclear what this app will do. It is possible Tips will provide iOS users with information on lesser known iOS features, serving as a tutorial app for those who want to learn the ins and outs of their devices. Click to make largerAn "In Case of Emergency" card will be added to iOS 8, displaying contact information and possibly health-related information as well. Users will be able to use Siri to purchase iTunes content, Notes gains a new rich text editing feature, and RSS feeds are displayed within Shared Links in Safari. Other mentioned features offering unknown functions include Place cards in other apps and Speak Screen. Finally, there are also several accessibility improvements coming, including an Alex voice, Braille keyboard, improved zoom, and multi-device support for MFi hearing aids. Guided Access, which limits an iPad or iPhone to opening a single app, will gain time limits, a countdown timer, and Touch ID integration. These are of course, only a small selection of the hundreds of new features and minor functions that will likely be added to iOS 8 as it is in development. iOS 8 is available to developers immediately, while the public will get access to the new mobile operating system later this year. Article Link: iOS 8 to Include Battery Usage Per App and Much More
Add Wifi-calling to the list! Been waiting for this since January as T-mobile is spotty in my area, even with a booster. Can't wait for iOS 8.
That In Case of Emergency card will be very useful. I always hated not having an ICE contact in my phone. Mostly because if two contacts share a number, one of them usually appears. So I'd have my dad appearing as "ICE" every time he contacted me.
Battery usage per app on a phone should be pretty huge. Can finally track it down to being a problem with iOS verion x.0 and can see it go down in x.1
Ice I'd love the "In Case of Emergency" info to be available from the lock screen. But even if it isn't, if I'm injured I probably still have at least one of my thumbs (I have both scanned), right? Gary
Battery usage by app sounds great. It should allow people to identify offending apps instead of blaming the battery. I remember that a lot of needlessly chatty apps got fixed after being shamed by the "cellular data usage by app" feature in iOS 7.
Full picture in the camera app! Is the full picture screen feature available again in the call app? iOS 7.1 is bad
Wi-Fi calling is not on the list anyways. Most people can't use it outside of T-Mobile and Sprint. HD voice/VoLTE is what the next step to improve coverage.
Yes, my thoughts exactly. I have had ICE contact in my phone since years, but now when i lock my phone, its more or less useless. Sure they can use my fingerprint, but it really should be usable from the lock screen, thats the whole point really.
i think i saw this briefly during the enterprise part but i am not sure if its a company dependent feature? didnt really understand that part edit: nvm seems to be only for enterprise emails
These new features in iOS 8 are awesome! I like the QuickReply feature for texting. Hopefully the next keynotes will feature hardware from here on out.
How about Time-lapse videos? Did they mention that during the presentation? http://www.apple.com/ios/ios8/photos/
I just want the ability to see the time if I'm on a phone call and my phone is locked (using a headset of course) without having to unlock the phone. They need a cancel redial button too!!! If I'm on the phone...using a headset and the call drops...then the caller calls me back and I go to unlock my phone (during the conversation) to check the time....it automatically dials back the dropped call!! While I'm on the phone with that caller! That's so annoying. I'd like the screen to ASK me if I want to redial the caller. Or let me cancel the auto redial
Wifi-calling? As a part of iOS 8? Isn't that really what Facetime-audio is? Unless you're talking about the wifi-calling of Yosemite which really only redirects the call from the phone to your mac by wifi.

Mankind is the only one we know of that has the arrogance to think that our "thinking mind" has made us superior and given us insights into the planets and the stars. How do we know that for sure? Maybe we are the village idiots that don't understand. Maybe every other living creature on earth has far more wisdom than us and has realized the higher purpose. Maybe THAT is why no other species has lofty aspirations to "save the world". Instead they calmly go on with their own little circle of life, relishing every wonder this earth has to offer, quietly laughing at the silly humans trying so hard to cling to something that was never meant to stop changing or evolving.
These might sound like strange words coming from me, considering how many people I've guilt tripped into not using plastic or planting native in their gardens. I guess I'm no different from everyone else; trying hard to cling to these precious gifts, save them to show my baby before it's all gone. It's just such a shame that we can't appreciate our own insignificance in the vast scheme of things.
I guess when all is said and done, it makes sense not to take life too seriously; it is, after all, impossible to get out alive!

Nissan HQ Employees To Have A Blue Christmas Due To Late PayRay Wert12/21/06 2:54pmFiled to: NewsLeakyMemphisNissanIndustry News8EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalinkWe never really understood why Nissan made the move to the Tennessee. Sure, CEO Carlos Ghosn can talk a big game about how he wants to locate the NorAm HQ near his new manufacturing locations — but if the need for that were true, the NorAm HQ for FoMoCo would be in Mexico and GM's would be located in Canada near the Silverado plant or somewhere in Asia. But we digress — there's now one more gripe to add to the list since the big move from sunny SoCal. On top of moving pay from bi-weekly to monthly, today employees in Memphis found out a corporate snafu is causing tomorrow's paycheck to show up sometime next week rather than, you know — tomorrow. That's just in time to make it into their accounts for the day after Christmas. Alas, it's not in time to pay for the yet-to-be-picked-up honey-glazed spiral-sliced ham from Honey-Baked.

HOUSTON (AP) Andre Johnson, Arian Foster and Brian Cushing were back on the field for the Houston Texans before Wednesday's joint practice with Atlanta.
Cushing is the biggest surprise of the three. The star linebacker has been on the physically unable to perform list for all of training camp as he recovers from his second major knee injury in two years.
Johnson and Foster have been out for most of camp with hamstring injuries.
The Texans and Falcons will have two joint practices before playing a preseason game on Saturday.

Damn FLIES!
Does anyone have any tried and true methods for keeping these bastards out of and away from the boat? We don't leave food or beverages out, we've hung ziplock bags filled with water (which seemed to be effective at first, but no longer), tried sprays, and now we just walk around with fly swatter in hand, yelling, "DIE, DIE, DIE" all day long. We have screens, but they still seem to find their way in.
If anyone knows of a fly deterrent, I'd be forever grateful! |
Re: Damn FLIES!
Flies.....the carnivouous flies
The worst ones are the green head flies found in NJ and along the Delaware River. The green head fly is the NJ state bird. They have a green head...are somehwat good sized...and bite you till you kill them. On our most recent trip back from the Long Island Sound and NE on our long slop up the tidal Delaware we killed over 500 of them in the cockpit. We litterally had to hose it down and scrub it clean. We armed ourselves with flyswatters ( we keep them in the taable in the cockpit) and actually had to put on long clothes to keep them from driving us nuts for the 8 hour trip. We always have extra swatters on board as we dont want to be defenseless. They thrive in areas of alm ( around your ankles ) Our screens do hold them out of the boat so no worries at anchor. Dave |
Re: Damn FLIES!
Flies are attracted by smell of something they want to eat. I guess your smell attracts them since food is not around. Some flies come from a mile away. I forgot the exact distance. Think about what you place on your skin. Suntan oil with coconut butter? Hair spray? We found Black Fly Season in Delaware to be deadly. We wore bee hoods to keep the black flies out of our nose, ears, and mouth. Our dog was not that lucky to have a bee hood. We just up and left because of the flies.
Dot and John |
Re: Damn FLIES!
Best thing we found was a Tilley lamp on the roof outside the boat. If you are not familiar with a Tilley lamp, Made in Ireland, Runs on parrafin. The flies zoom in on it like Kami Kazzi pilots.Instant creamation.You need to put a sheet of something underneath to catch the little devils, Otherwise you will have a fair old job cleaning up next morning.We had a similar problem up in Scotland many years ago.

Re: Damn FLIES!
The absolute best thing I've found for both greenhead and marsh flies (black flies) is Avon Skin So Soft. Unfortunately, it's only good for a couple hours, then you have to lather up again.
I recently purchased something else to cope with the flies - a 10 X 10 foot screen enclosure that I purchased from Walmart for $39. I haven't used it yet, but hope to try it out this weekend when I go to work on the boat to finish a few projects. Take a look at the first page of http://www.sailnet.com/forums/gear-m...ts-see-em.html http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/c...martscreen.jpg http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/c...ng/reading.jpg Cheers, Gary :cool: |
Re: Damn FLIES!
Look into permethrin. That's a synthetic version of a chyrsanthemum extract, used in the bug-repellent clothing and sold as a DIY treatment for your own clothing as well. Everyone swears it is safe for humans, but soak a surface with it (or your clothing) and let it dry, and many-legged critters of all kinds simply drop dead when they touch it.
It is intended mainly as a flea and tick killer but seems to keep flies, mosquitoes, all sorts of critters conveniently dead on arrival. |

Rachel Foulger unfortunately fell victim to "Survivor: Blood vs. Water's" new twist Wednesday night (Oct. 2) — she was targeted in order to see if her loved one, Tyson, would take her place on Redemption Island. Then she was eliminated after a particularly finicky, long challenge. She tells Zap2it she was not surprised at all to be targeted.
Are you glad you went on "Survivor," even if you went out so early?
"Yeah, I'm definitely glad I went on the show. I started Tyson dating four months before he went the first time, so 'Survivor' has been a big part of our relationship and to now have experienced that with him, I'm glad for that opportunity."
Were you surprised the tribe targeted you? The twist of targeting a specific loved on in the hopes the other half of the pair switches out was certainly an interesting new facet to the strategy.
"I knew that I could be a target knowing that Tyson is such a physical threat on the other side. It definitely made me nervous."
What did you think about Brad? He definitely seems like the Alpha male of Tadhana.
"I think that's definitely true to character. Brad actually is a funny guy, he is a good person and they show a little bit of that too. But he's definitely in control and definitely an Alpha male as well."
Were you mad at Tyson at all for not taking your place, since he had already played the game and you hadn't really had much of a chance to play?
"Not at all. Tyson was on the edge of his seat and about to jump down there, he wanted to come into the game and it was really me that didn't let him come in. … I knew it was smartest for us both as a couple for him to stay in the game. He is a stronger player than me, mostly because he's had so much experience already. But there's a second part of me that just felt kind of prideful — I knew why I was targeted and my tribe was hoping that I would switch with Tyson and I wasn't there to help my tribe anymore. I didn't want to do anything to help them. I was there to help Tyson get further in the game."
How hard was that Redemption Island challenge, because it looked pretty brutal.
"It was intense. It's literally one of the hardest things I've ever done in my life. It looks like a simple dominoes game, but it was 115 degrees with I don't know what percent humidity. It took us over an hour to finish that challenge. It was tough, really tough."
What did you think about the whole Colton thing?
"I was shocked. I went into the arena just kind of prepping myself to get ready to fight a challenge and be able to stay in this game, so I was already super nervous and felt a lot of pressure and then out of nowhere, Colton quits the game. He's on the tribe that my boyfriend's on, so I'm wondering what's going on on that side, what's going on with their tribe. I was shocked, it threw me off guard for sure."
Who did you think was the strongest player out there when you left? The person in the best position so far.
"That would definitely be someone on Galang, since they were winning all the challenges. The next person would probably be Aras, in my opinion, just because they were sitting pretty over there, they didn't have to really be playing the game, but second to that, it think Aras is physically fit, good at challenges and he has won the show, so he has an advantage He knows what you have to do to win."
How are you and Tyson? Still going strong?
"Oh yeah. Better than ever."
"Survivor" airs Wednesday nights at 8 p.m. ET/PT on CBS.

These new releases offer two sides of the abundantly gifted, extremely confident tenor saxophonist Wayne Escoffery, who is fast becoming a force to be reckoned with. A longtime sideman to trumpeter Tom Harrell and a member of Ben Riley's Monk Legacy band and the Mingus Big Band, Escoffery has developed a strong presence as a bandleader over the course of seven previous releases. His eighth, his debut for the Sunnyside label, is a major leap forward conceptually from 2009's soulful organ-group outing, Uptown.
The Only Son of One traces Escoffery's personal journey from his rough start in North London, where he was raised by a loving mother and her abusive Jamaican husband, to his emigration at age 8 to the United States, where he took up the saxophone and eventually came under the wing of Jackie McLean at the Hartt School of Music in Hartford. Escoffery's composing here often alludes to a spiritual awakening.
Grounded by bassists Hans Glawischnig and Ricky Rodriguez and drummer Jason Brown, The Only Son of One is further shaped and colored by Orrin Evans' forceful piano and Fender Rhodes comping and Adam Holzman's synth seasonings. Escoffery plays passionately on top, revealing a love for John Coltrane with his sheets-of-sound approach on the energized opener, "World of the Bardo," and wailing with cathartic abandon on the turbulent modal number "Banishment of the Lost Spirit." He digs deep on the searching vehicle "Perilous Desires," mellows out on the mysterious title track, and blows with exuberance and rare authority on the lone straight-ahead swinger, "If I Am, Who You Are."
"Selena's Song," a potent waltz-time tribute to his courageous mother, and the soothing meditation "Presumed Innocence" feature retro Mini-Moog solos by former Miles Davis sideman Holzman that conjure up '70s Chick Corea. Following a restful "Color Spectrum," Escoffery switches to soprano for an intimate duet with pianist Evans on the gentle, improvised "Two Souls" to close out his most diverse and rewarding collection to date.
On the Grown Folks Music session, led by elder statesman and former Monk drummer Riley, Escoffery summons up bold tones and exudes a relaxed, old-school vibe on renditions of Monk's "Friday the 13th" and "Teo," along with such affecting standards as the buoyant "Lulu's Back in Town," a swinging "Without a Song," a Latin-tinged "If Ever I Would Leave You," and "Laura," an album highlight on which the saxophonist channels his inner Dexter Gordon. On the tasty ballad "A Weaver of Dreams," Escoffery blows with Trane-inspired depth. Bassist Ray Drummond anchors this straight-ahead session with his usual authority while guitarists Avi Rothbard and Freddie Bryant provide some six-string sparkle along the way. Riley's masterful, understated performance throughout demonstrates that, at age 78, he is still one of the greats.

Wordless Wednesday: Boys Will Be Girls
Wordless Wednesday is a daily
prompt at Geneabloggers that asks family historians to create a post in which
the main focus is a photograph or image.
My parents attended a Halloween party in 1959. The women were required to dress as men and the men as women.
Didn't Fred and Mary Eleanor make a
lovely couple?
11 comments:
I believe I said this before. You are so blessed, and to be a child born amongst such presence of wonder and joy, the world is better for it! Families need more of this whimsy in life, don't you think?!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, they made a very lovely couple. =)
I wonder what each of them was holding up and looking at. Do you know?

June 4, 2014 11:11 PMNova Chemical Corp.'s debt outlook improves
Fitch Ratings revised the outlook on Nova Chemical Corp.'s $861 million in debt to positive from stable.

Nova, which has an executive center in Moon and a plant in Beaver County, makes specialty chemicals and plastics used in consumer and industrial packaging.

Young Undocumented Immigrants Begin Renewing Deferred Action Permits
Wednesday, June 11, 2014
Aired 6/11/14 on KPBS Midday Edition.
Lilia Velasquez, Immigration Attorney
Alondra Garcia, Organizer, Own the Dream Campaign
The renewal process for young undocumented immigrants who received temporary legal status under President Obama's Deferred Action Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program in 2012 is now underway.
Last week, the Department of Homeland Security announced the renewal process for the program, which gives many young undocumented immigrants who arrived in the U.S. as children a two-year deportation waiver and allows them to get jobs.
In order to avoid a relapse in status, the department said applicants should submit their renewal applications 120 days before their current permit expires. DACA remains open for first-time applicants.
Dozens of forums and workshops are scheduled around San Diego County to help DACA recipients with their renewal paperwork.
In 2012, the Pew Hispanic Center estimated that 1.7 million were eligible under the policy. But so far, only 560,000 people have been granted temporary legal status nationwide. That's including 162,000 in California, according to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.
"The numbers are low. Some of them didn't get a diploma and now they cannot apply for DACA. Some of them got here when they were over sixteen, and missed the mark. Others do not have fifteen years of age yet, others had a DUI in were disqualified. I'm not sure how they came up with a 1.7 million estimate, but so far we only have a third of the cases approved," said San Diego immigration attorney Lilia Velasquez.
Life After Daca
Palomar College student Alondra Garcia, who now leads the Own the Dream campaign in San Diego, was granted DACA last year.
She says her mom brought her to the U.S when she was four years old and her new status has given her a new lease on life.
"There has been a lot of changes, I got my first credit card, I got a social security number and in-state tuition, I was able to get a job that was more fulfilling," said Garcia.
Velasquez says she's heard similar stories from her clients.
"It really motivated kids that were hesitant about going on to higher education because now they feel legitimized and they feel like they can pursue higher education, and they completed degrees, and now they can put the degrees to work. They can pay taxes safely, they have a Social Security, and is something as mundane, as one client told me, Lilia, I finally went to Disneyland. It was a checkpoint that always stood in the way. He is twenty-eight and finally made that trip. I think that the kids really felt empowered, and they have dreams for bigger things. Having said that, they are also very concerned about the future."
A recent UC San Diego survey also shows DACA recipients have become politically engaged.
Immigration Reform
But DACA remains controversial, some Republicans have called it "backdoor amnesty" and with a presidential election in sight immigrant rights activists worry about the program's future.
"It depends on who gets elected to office in 2016. If a Democrat takes over, we feel that DACA will continue. But if it is taken away, those kids will be crushed. If we get a Republican, we are in trouble," said Velasquez.
President Obama meanwhile is pushing Congress acts on immigration. Last week, Obama delayed making more changes to deportation policies hoping lawmakers pass a comprehensive immigration reform bill before summer recess.

less than 1/2 have renewed this ENORMOUS GIFT to be in this country to get a better life ---- yeah, right, they don't even graduate high school, have DUI's etc. just the kind of immigrants we want. Take a similar Asian immigrant and they are in Ivy league schools on merit. Sorry but it's a big cultural deficit in the migrating latino communities who do not put a premium on the exceptional opportunity they have been given to get educated and make something of their lives. ---- deport them and let in those who will contribute positively to this country.
SalULoyd | June 16, 2014 at 7:46 p.m. ― 2 years, 9 months ago
Why is is always the nativists REGRESSIVE BOOTY or John Markkk the first to comment on immigration stories???
Missionaccomplished | June 16, 2014 at 7:51 p.m. ― 2 years, 9 months ago
PLEASE back up your claim of less than half or shut up. I want chapter AND verse.
A few years ago I personally met an undocumented woman from Mexico whose daughter was attending the University of Chicago. I'd like to see YOU get admitted to the University of Chicago, Regressive.
DeLaRick | June 16, 2014 at 9:31 p.m. ― 2 years, 9 months ago
I'm sure the Asian community will be relieved to know progressivebuthey approves of them. Just another form of bigotry by a bigot. But, hey!

Con-way Freight set to expand in Central Texas
Con-way Freight, the LTL subsidiary of transportation and logistics services provider Con-way Inc., recently announced it will be making a major expansion into central Texas, saying it will build a $3.7 million 48-door, 18,870 square-foot service center in Robinson, Texas.

Company officials said that this facility will serve as the local hub where Con-way Freight will provide daily freight pickup and delivery services that will connect central Texas and the Greater Waco area with one-, two- and three-day service points in the company's national network along with Mexico and Canada.
Con-way Freight Director of Operations Steve Micketti told LM that the current facility the company has in Waco, Texas, notably the office, driver room, dock and yard combined is not
adequate to accommodate its current day-to-day business functions for of its employees to provide the necessary and expected service for the customer base in central Texas. The initial New Build Concept started in the fourth quarter of 2010, he said, adding that Con-way Freight's business levels increase are up 8.2 percent annually and since the concept form was initiated, business is up 12 percent.
The new central Texas facility is expected to open in April 2014. The current facility in Waco has 22 doors and 52 employees and Con-way Freight has been there for more than 20 years. Con-way said it plans to hire 15 more staffers when the new facility is completed for various areas, including driver sales representatives, operations support, sales, customer service, and administration and
When asked what the main benefits of this new service center will be for shippers, Micketti pointed to:
-increased cycle time to deliver shipments earlier and in a more consistent manner;
-reduced handling on outgoing shipments by building directly to points that will bypass first assigned handling locations (first handling points are an internal company freight flow network system);
-having the ability to meet customer demands when they have unforeseen tonnage/shipment order increases for their customers;
-having the ability to handle central Texas economic growth; and
-having enough room to expand for future central Texas economic growth.
On top of these benefits, Micketti noted that Con-way Freight will be able to provide an in-house driver training school that will allow it to meet hire needs to address the business growth and be ready for growth with a well-trained and ready workforce.
"We'll be able to attract and hire better candidates with the incentive of a 'free' driving school and allow them to earn monies as a dock worker during the non-school hours," he said.

AAP urges EC to deploy Central forces and observers in Varanasi
The Aam Aadmi Party on Friday urged the Election Commission to order deployment of central security forces in Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh to ensure "free and fair" elections.In a high-profile contest for Varanasi, AAP convener Arvind Kejriwal is taking on the BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi and Ajai Rai of the Congress.
In Punjab, AAP makes inroads in hinterland
Till a month back, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) was not much of a political entity in Punjab. But that is no longer the story. Thanks to some of its candidates, the party is covering ground—even in Punjab's rural areas.While the ruling Shiromani Akali Dal-Bharatiya Janata Party combine want to ride on the "Modi wave" and the Congress is adamant that it will beat the anti-Congress mood of the electorate, it is the AAP which is taking baby steps on Punjab's political frontline despite not having a full-fledged organisational structure in the state.
Ruling SAD-BJP failed to eliminate drug meance: AAP
Senior Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Yogendra Yadav today accused SAD-BJP government of failing to protect youth from drugs and allowing sand mafia to flourish in the state.
Agra's betting bazaar places AAP at third place
After months of high voltage election campaign, peace has descended here and the talk in the betting bazaar hints at the Aam Aadmi Party emerging a close third, denting the poll prospects of strong contenders.
Aam Aadmi Party makes three-cornered contest for 8 Punjab seats
Giving a scare to both the Akali-BJP combine and the Congress in Punjab, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has made the Lok Sabha elections a triangular contest in at least eight of the 13 constituencies in the state.

'Read Your Way Across the USA'
Here are some fun facts about Oklahoma: the state bird is the Scissor-Tailed Flycatcher, and the shopping cart was invented by Oklahoman Sylvan Goldman. Want another fun fact about Oklahoma? It's the next stop on the Rosedale Book Club's Read Your Way Across the USA tour!
In January we'll be reading Toni Morrison's Paradise, which is set in Ruby, Oklahoma.
About the book:
Founded by descendants of free slaves as intent on isolating themselves from the outside world as it once was on rejecting them, the patriarchal community of Ruby is built on righteousness, rigidly enforced moral law, and fear. But seventeen miles away, another group of exiles has gathered in a promised land of their own. And it is upon these women in flight from death and despair that nine male citizens of Ruby will lay their pain, their terror, and their murderous rage...
Paradise is a tour de force of storytelling power, richly imagined and elegantly composed. Morrison challenges our most fiercely held beliefs as she weaves folklore and history, memory and myth, into an unforgettable meditation on race, religion, gender, and the way a society can turn on itself until it is forced to explode.
Curious about where we'll go next? Come to the discussion of Paradise on Jan. 21 to find out!

From the very beginning of the USGenWeb project there has been high interest in providing a place where visitors could post their queries and read those posted by others. In response to the growing interest and the difficulty in efficiently locating surnames of interest, two systems have developed to the point where it is now very easy to search these massive databases.
Surname Helper - http://surhelp.rootsweb.com/srchall.html
Created by Patty Lindsay , Surname Helper is a surname searchable database of queries and surname registrations posted on various genealogy sites. Participating sites include both USGenWeb and WorldGenWeb sites as well as others. As of January 1999, there was a total of 3,203 sites using this system, of which 2,666 were members of the USGenWeb or WorldGenWeb systems. When this writer searched for "Finley" on the total system, 328 listings were returned. In addition to just queries, there was also found a number of biographies, cemetery, census, death, directory, history, military, newspaper, pension, and will records which come from the GenConnect system describe next. To access the Surname Helper search engine:
GenConnect - http://rsl.rootsweb.com/
GenConnect is a query board system where a researcher can post queries and share data. A query board system is where the responses to an initial query are threaded so they appear together as a set of information as the data accumulates. Started in December 1997 by Nancy Trice with a single county in Kentucky, the demand soon spread nationwide and worldwide. There are three types of boards, (1) those where you can post to and respond to queries, (2) those you can post to, but queries are not allowed, and (3) boards which are read only boards. Types of boards at this time, include: Bibles, biographies, deeds, obits, queries, pensions, and wills and as of January 1999 there were 6,008 boards in use. A global surname search on "Finley" on GenConnect returned 206 listings. To access this search engine:

In March and April, 1996, a group of genealogists organized the Kentucky comprehensive Genealogy Database Project. The idea was to provide a single entry point for all counties in Kentucky, where collected databases would be stored. In addition, the databases would be indexed and cross linked, so that even if an individual were found in more than one county, they could be located in the index. At the same time, volunteers were found who were willing to coordinate the collection of databases and generally oversee the contents of the web page.
The USGenWeb Project
In June, as the Kentucky project was nearing completion, it was decided to start a page for each of the remaining states, and as with the Kentucky project, volunteers were found to host the state pages.

You can't. That hack is absolutely useless. If you want to back up and restore saves in the future, use Savegame Manager GX.
I have priiloader installed, and ive turned on the thing which allows me to copy protected save files and what not. My problem is that i have backed up a save file successfully, but when i go to copy the save file from my sd card back to my wii, it says "this save file data cannot be copied to this wii".
Any ideas on how to fix this? thanks in advanced
You can't. That hack is absolutely useless. If you want to back up and restore saves in the future, use Savegame Manager GX.
"Macs are the Perfect Computers," said the Perfect Idiot.
thanks for the quick reply JoostinOnline, but ive already tried that program and it doesn't recognize data.bin files. Do you know if i can convert it to get savegame manager to recognize that file or do anything at all to get it to recognize it?
Should be possible....didn't read all of this but look here.
Damn I suck!!!!
yeah i know what you mean, thanks for your help anyway. Im just a little frustrated that the priiloader hack actually worked fine for all my games, except for one which comes up with the odd error. Thanks for your help though, much appreciated.
thanks for the link Krank, but i shouldve backed up my savefile with savegame manager in the first place, doesnt matter though.

Ha, OK. Just so you know that info comes from reputable people and is probably worth trying.

Why Did Jennifer Lopez Drop an 'F' Bomb on 'American Idol?' [VIDEO]
Jennifer Lopez is normally a composed, in control diva, but even she makes a big verbal mistake and lets an 'F' bomb drop every now again. Only this time, the singer, actress, fashion designer, producer and reality show star did it on live TV during Wednesday's (March 26) episode of 'American Idol.'
So what, exactly, caused JLo to curse? Was she annoyed by a talented contestant's lackluster performance? Nah, that's not her style. Was she frustrated with the way things were going during the episode? Negative! Was she disagreeing with a critique? Nope, that wasn't it, either.
Turns out, her fellow panelists were ribbing her in good-natured fashion and she gave it right back to 'em.
During a critique of a contestant, Lopez suggested that the female singer get a little messy and toss her hair around and just get into it. That's when her co-judges Keith Urban and Harry Connick, Jr. were trying to get her to do the same hair flip which she had advised the contestant to do. The audience got in on the fun, too. It drove JLo to let the "F" slip from her lips, seemingly telling them to "F" off in a playful way.
The censors at Fox appeared to edit the gaffe quickly, as you can see from the video above.
Lopez quickly realized her error and put her hand up to her lips. She was totally embarrassed, but it could have been a lot worse, since she didn't shout it.

As for HW's post I'll say if that's the plan and it doesn't work then I'd have no problem canning Gillis if the team disappoints this season. Going all in with the current group is a big risk and unless Corrado, Jensen and/or Gaunce can stick and really thrive next year you are basically hoping that a new coach gets vastly more out of this team than AV had of late.
I think it's possible but if I could I'd be hedging my bets. Hopefully Gillis can get substantial value for Luongo and that changes things a bit.
Rumsfeld wrote:I highly doubt Gillis' plan is just to drop players and make room for kids. I expect at least one top-six winger and a third-line center to be added.

Hard to guage what the plan is at this point, but if Gillis brings in a top 6 winger and 3rd line centre there isnt even room for Kassian, nevermind Schroeder. Looking at the numbers, I don't see this happening without moving out two roster players.
Hockey Widow wrote:I would be shocked if we traded Ballard and got equal value for what we gave up though. At this point the cap space is the value added.
Hockey Widow wrote:Maybe we see JS as a second line centre and Kesler moved to either the wing or drop back to 3rd line. Lappy won't be asked back and Manny is done so that opens up the door for Lain to try and secure the 4th line job.
Hockey Widow wrote:I don't know what he has planned and I doubt he could really tell us either. We know we need to drop about 10 million and two players, Luongo and one more will accomplish that. So if we lose Luongo, Ballard, Lappy, Manny, Mayray, Roy we suddenly drop a ton of cap and make room for the kids. And in those loses, what have we really lost other than Luongo?
Rumsfeld wrote:You'd only need to move out one... Booth or Burrows. I'd be peachy with moving both. You really think Gillis plans to go into next season with the same top six?
And that's assuming Kassian makes the top six, which is far from a done deal.
rikster wrote:.. I see the Luongo deal in two parts and I see him having more value to a cap floor team than a cap ceiling team....
Hockey Widow wrote:Its seems most fans see it the same way. Something more than inserting a few kids is needed but I just get the feeling that may be all we see this year. There isn't much on FA that we can afford and players that will be bought out, well, you have to ask yourself why? Do we want them? Perhaps the trade market will open up once the playoffs are done but I just get the feeling we won't see much of anything being done.
Frankly I'm ok with going with the kids, time to see what we've got. I don't see our current team as being able to win the Cup and I can't see MG re-building yet. So get the kids in, get some more picks and prospects for those that need to go and hope for the best.

Third-line dance likely to continue for Penguins
April 17, 2014 10:18 PMPenguins coach Dan Bylsma entered Game 1 of the first-round playoff series against Columbus fully expecting to use more than one left winger on his third line.
He just didn't necessarily anticipate that Beau Bennett would be one of them.
Considering how Bennett fit in with Brandon Sutter and Lee Stempniak in the 4-3 victory Wednesday night against the Blue Jackets at Consol Energy Center, it's hard to imagine he won't be back there for Game 2 Saturday night.
Which doesn't mean the assignment will be permanent.
Tanner Glass opened the series on Sutter's left side because of his physicality and responsible defensive game, but Bylsma had been prepared to replace him with Brian Gibbons if circumstances called for an upgrade in speed and skill.
Ultimately, though, Bylsma decided to drop Glass to the fourth line and move Gibbons into the spot Bennett had been filling alongside Sidney Crosby and Chris Kunitz.
That freed Bennett to join Sutter and Stempniak, a unit that became one of the most successful experiments since Benjamin Franklin tied a key to a kite and took it outside during a rainstorm.
Bylsma said the rationale for using Bennett there was "very similar" to the logic behind the plan he'd had to deploy Gibbons on that line.
Bennett, though, made any further changes needless, at least in the opener.
In addition to scoring the power-play goal that rejuvenated the Penguins after they had slipped into a 3-1 hole, he teamed up with Sutter on a two-on-one break that culminated in Sutter's winning goal.
It's revealing, though, that after the Penguins had gone in front, Bylsma returned Glass to the third line for a shift to guard against the possibility of Columbus pulling even again. That's pretty good evidence that Bylsma won't be shy about swapping left wingers on that line, if circumstances demand it.
Unlike some teams, the Penguins don't cast their third line in a traditional shutdown role.
That's because pitting Sutter's unit against the opposition's top line could keep Sutter and his linemates on the ice for about 20 minutes every game, and those are 20 minutes that Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin, along with their linemates, would have to spend watching from the bench.
"That's definitely something to think about," Glass said. "Those guys have to get their minutes."
Because the Penguins want to get Crosby and Malkin as much ice time as is practical, the third line is counted on for a solid two-way game, rather than just the stifling defense it might be asked to provide if it were serving in a shutdown role.
That helps to explain the makeup of the line at the start of Game 1.
"They have some scoring on that line," assistant coach Tony Granato said. "They do have some speed on that line. They do have some physicality on that line. [They're] hard to play against, using all three of those parts of the game.
"Lee's one of those guys who's kind of a streaky scorer and who, when he gets in a rhythm offensively, is a pretty darned good offensive player. [Sutter] is another guy who can score some goals.
"Tanner is a guy who's going to crash and bang, and, hopefully, create a lot of net-front presence, and create some stuff on the forecheck. I think it's a good combination."
Even without scoring the winning goal, Sutter's performance in Game 1 was one of his best of 2013-14.
His regular season had been lackluster, perhaps in part because his wingers constantly changed.
The frequent turnover on both sides was, to some extent, a byproduct of the many injuries the Penguins had since training camp because third-liners often are the most qualified fill-ins available when a top-six forward is unable to play.
"With the injuries and stuff, that's been one of the difficult things [for Sutter] because, generally speaking, those are the guys who usually move up or move around," Granato said.
"[Sutter] has been in a position where he's had lots of different combinations. I think he understands that's part of being in that position."
He undoubtedly also realizes that, while the details of the third line's duties might vary depending on the game situation, its bottom-line mission stays the same, regardless of whether Bennett or Glass or anyone else is working on the left side.
"Just to be a line that tries to make a difference every time we're out there," Stempniak said.

Your hand is trying to hold the phone tight for an sudden video-op, but it looks so shaky! Don't you wish you could yell, "go, go gadget gimbal!" as your hand extended into a sturdy mechanical video rig instead?
The Fly-X3 Plus may not be a part of your robot body, but it is a handheld device designed to give you the smoothest videos around without all the bulky (and expensive too) equipment the pros use.
Secure your phone in the Fly-X3 Plus cradle and the stabilizing motor will automatically tilt the phone to find a level shot. As you move, the gyroscope automatically turns your camera to keep the phone level, giving you the smoothest video possible.
Capture action shots easily while you run, jump or bike without any shaky video. The Fly-X3 Plus acts as an extra stable arm extension when you need to wriggle around tight spaces like a concert, the passenger seat of a car, or a tiny kitchen.
With this kind of pro equipment, you'll have even Inspector Gadget exclaiming "wowzers!" and, possibly, asking you to join his team.
What exactly is a gimbal?
It's a piece of magical machinery that allows something to rotate on an axis. This one, in particular can rotate on 3 axis' so it can smoothly spin around on pitch (forward and back), yaw (left to right) and roll (side to side tilt).
How does the gimbal help?
Your phone will be able to move freely once it's in the hands of the Fly-X3 Plus and the automatic adjuster will calibrate to find a level image. As you move, the phone will move right along with you while still maintaining the smooth and level shot.
Does it fit all phones?
The clamp fits phones between 2.25" and 3" wide, so pretty much all phones... including the iPhone 6/6s, and iPhone 6/6s Plus.
