I got a bird feeder for songbirds that holds only sunflower seeds and hung it from a metal pole outside the family room window. The birds haven't noticed it, but the squirrels love it! Juliet stands at the window and makes all sorts of noises, none of which are barks to scare the squirrels away. Regulars are Lumpy (he has tumors), Big Momma, Slim (he won't be for long!), Bubba (in the picture), and Grandma. The males eat and run, but the females are curious and will sometimes hang on the screen or sit on the window ledge to look at the dog. Juliet wants to play, and when she pounces on the window, the squirrels take off. The nice thing about this feeder is, they can only pull one seed at a time from the screen container, so it lasts. Last night a bear came and dumped our garbage can all over the yard and mutilated the seed feeder. Mark cleaned the garbage up while I bent the damaged feeder back into shape. Lesson learned, we'll bring both into the garage tonight.

'TDN Rising Star' Pakistan Star (Ger) (Shamardal), a latest second to Rapper Dragon (Aus) (Street Boss) in the lucrative BMW Hong Kong Derby (2000m) Mar. 19, tuned up for his next appearance in the Apr. 30 G1 Audemars Piguet Queen Elizabeth II Cup with a smart six-furlong barrier trial over the Sha Tin all-weather track Tuesday morning.
Trained by Tony Cruz, Pakistan Star has had his fair share of trouble getting away from the gates in his brief career, but jumped alertly and settled in fourth position and in the clear for the opening 800 metres. Steered out wide off the home turn while still being quietly ridden by Matthew Chadwick, the bay showed a quick turn of foot entering the final eighth of a mile and skipped clear to 'win' the trial by 2 3/4 lengths with something in reserve in the smart time of 1:09.66 (video). Eroico (Aus) (Starcraft {NZ}), a reliable Class 1 winner on dirt, was second.
"The way he trialled last time and this time, the main difference was his acceleration," Chadwick told the Hong Kong Jockey Club's Andrew Hawkins. "Before the Derby, I was saying to the boys that I don't think he can open up in those 21-second sectionals anymore. After that trial–and again, it is 2000m, so it depends how it plays out–but there's a good chance he will be able to finish off in the low-22s, that's how he feels."
Chadwick rode Pakistan Star to wins in his first two career trips to the post, but Silvestre de Sousa, who was in the irons for all three legs of the 4-year-old series, is set to fly in from England for the QE II.

Musician and Mortician - the tatoo on his right calf.
William Blake : The Fly
Little fly,William Blake (1757-1827)
Thy summer's play
My thoughtless hand
Has brushed away.
Am not I
A fly like thee?
Or art not thou
A man like me?
For I dance
And drink and sing,
Till some blind hand
Shall brush my wing.
If thought is life
And strength and breath,
And the want
Of thought is death,
Then am I
A happy fly,
If I live,
Or if I die.

There's a lot of hope out there...
Unfortunately, we still need dirt. But frost cloth was on the list and Gloria got that yesterday. The weather has been so mild, it's tempting to get started planting soon!! Oh. And after having dug holes like a pack of crazed prairie dogs, to bury the 4 corner posts, we realized we hadn't squared the darned thing with the fence. (?!) We'd been talking about one for awhile, so we're pretty excited.

What Are You Afraid Of? How To Handle Business Fears
There are some great suggestions here that are applicable to our DubLi world! Bolding below is mine.
What Are You Afraid Of?
Our experts deconstruct your worst nightmares and show you how to deal.
Admit it. You're scared out of your mind. Whether it's financial stress, uncertainty about the business partners you've chosen or just plain fear of failure, some aspect of starting your own business is keeping you up at night.
You're not alone. We queried entrepreneurs to find out what scares them the most. Survey says: everything from speaking in public to keeping up with technology to growing too fast.
So we brought in the authorities: Colleen Long, a psychologist who specializes in entrepreneurship and Jim Koch, a well-known entrepreneur with decades of business experience. They analyzed your top five fears and offered up their best advice on how to handle them.
Fear No.1: Failure
Without a doubt, an entrepreneur's biggest fear is failing–understandably, because 95 percent of all businesses fail within the first five years, Long says. When you're starting with those kinds of odds, it's OK to be a little freaked out.
The list of what-ifs is endless: What if I'm not cut out for entrepreneurship? What if I can't get this last deal? What if I go bankrupt? But the consequences of failure are mostly in your head, says Koch. He points to the concepts of subjective risk and objective risk: Subjective risk feels scary but is actually safe, whereas objective risk can feel safe but is actually quite dangerous. "Starting a business has a lot of subjective risk," he says. "Yes, it feels scary, but it's not. At the end of the day, the risk is small."
"Because entrepreneurs typically work in a vacuum, self-defeating thoughts can become very common," Long says. "These unconscious thoughts build upon each other, making you feel increasingly negative and scared." She advises keeping tabs on yourself by regularly writing a list of accomplishments. Whether you gained three new clients, received positive feedback or sealed a partnership, write it down. "Whenever those fears crop up, you've got a point of reference [that shows] you're actually achieving something," Long says.
Fear No.2: Economic uncertainty
Five years ago, the economy may not have been of forefront concern for a startup entrepreneur. But today, businesses big and small, young and old, are worried about what the declining economy means for them. According to the January 2009 "American Express OPEN Economic Pulse," report, 66 percent of small-business owners surveyed said they are stressed out by the state of the economy; 44 percent anticipate the economy will get mildly or much worse over the next 12 to 18 months; and 50 percent expect the economic climate to negatively impact their business prospects within six months.
But many small businesses have started, innovated and grown during a recession. Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard established Hewlett-Packard during the Great Depression; Orbitz.com went live during the dotcom bust. Koch himself launched The Boston Beer Company and Samuel Adams during the early '80s recession.
When Koch was getting started, market conditions were less than favorable. Small local breweries were closing all over the country, and his father, a fifth-generation brewmaster, was even forced to retire from the beer business. "In 1948, there were 1,000 breweries," he says. "But when I started, 97 percent had closed." Nonetheless, Koch powered through, coming out not only alive, but also ahead.
During that time, entrepreneurs weren't opening breweries, and the megabreweries were selling mass-produced light beer. The state of the economy "blinded people to the need for somebody to make a great beer," Koch explains. Entrepreneurs are notorious for going against the current, so a bleak market can actually mean more opportunity.
Fear No.3: Being your own boss
Long calls it the "lemonade-stand fear." "It's the feeling the entrepreneur first gets when he starts any kind of business: the feeling that he's operating a lemonade stand, this low-budget operation that doesn't feel real," she says. As a small business, especially during the startup stages, there's very little stability and security. Unlike traditional employment, you probably don't have an office, employees, benefits or a paycheck. And what you definitely don't have is a boss, someone guiding you along.
"Working for yourself is both the best and worst part of being an entrepreneur," Long says. "No one's going to tell you what to do. The days can pass you by and you haven't really done anything because there's no one giving you the framework for what to do."
"The instability is scary," Koch says. "It feels very uncomfortable because you're in a new setting that doesn't have the order and the structure." In the early days, The Boston Beer Company didn't have an office, a computer, a telephone, a distributor or proper accounting.
Our experts agree that setting goals is key to conquering this fear. Whether it's daily, weekly or more long-term, setting specific, achievable goals keeps you accountable and on track. Koch's daily goal was to gain one new customer, even if it took him late into the night.
"Sales calls scare me," he says. "But not having an office forced me to go out and sell." Achieving this daily goal contributed to his two overarching goals: "to make great beer and work my butt off to sell it."
Today, those goals still stand: Koch makes sure his beer maintains the same taste and quality as his great-grandfather's original recipe by traveling to Bavaria each year to select the hops, and personally tasting every batch. Even with more than 700 employees, he still makes regular sales calls.
Fear No.4: Consuming your life
The idea of not having any time for yourself, neglecting your family and giving up your social life can be terrifying.
"A lot of entrepreneurs think, 'If I own my own business, then I have to eat, breathe and sleep this business,'" Long says. "There's a lot of guilt where they think any downtime should be spent on the business."
This isn't to say you shouldn't always be thinking about how to better your business and that you shouldn't jump into action whenever duty calls. Being an entrepreneur will consume a lot of your waking hours, but there are ways to manage the workload, ease the stress and still have time to live your life–and maintain the passion you started with.
"You have to do something you love," Koch says. "Ask yourself, 'Is this going to make me happy?' If you can imagine yourself being happy, you can handle the trade-off and the sacrifices."
Long advises practicing meditation. "You have to give your mind a break," she says, recommending 15 to 20 minutes of silence, deep breathing and relaxation every day. "It helps you to refocus."
And lastly, don't be afraid to ask for help–whether it means hiring people to do the tasks you don't have the time or know-how for, forming a discussion group or advisory board, reaching out to peers, or taking advantage of the small-business resources available.
Fear No.5: Staying afloat
You need money to start up; you need money to operate; and you need money to grow. Throw the dismal economy into the equation–when people are spending less and it's taking longer for small businesses to get paid (according to the "Economic Pulse" survey)–and money is even harder to come by.
Most important, you have to figure out if there is truly a consumer need. "You know you have a great product, but you don't know if it fits a need," Koch says. "Ask yourself if what you're offering is better or cheaper."
And if you find that for a certain segment it is, those are your customers; find out what matters to them. "The customer will give you cues," he adds. "You can learn everything you need to know from them."
Long discovered the need for her services when she saw a lack of resources for doctors looking to share their expertise. In a sense, she was her customer, and she understood where the need resided.
Koch emphasizes the importance of putting yourself out there tirelessly. As an entrepreneur, you're often the salesperson, so you have to master the art of selling, he says, reflecting on the early years when he traveled from bar to bar with chilled bottles of Samuel Adams for bartenders to taste. "I had to go into a bar 10 times before I even got to see the bar manager."

Re: Rust Family

Rust Family
Ralph Carter 3/09/02
I thought your query was for living people, but after looking at the query you posted on the Rust forum, Marshall and Sallie were married in 1883, so more then likely their children were born soon after that, and probably are deceased.
Combined info from TX Dth Idx Online and SSDI:
Will E. Rust, b 16 Jun 1899; d 20 Jun 1976 Potter Co, TX; last residence Amarillo, Randall Co, TX; SS card issued in TX.
On your other query from Rust forum you listed among the children a "Willie".If he went by Willie there are several "possible" matches on the TX Dth Idx Online, you might want to check them out.Then you could post a query on the county site where he lived and died.Be sure to check the GenWeb site for those counties, too.Many GenWeb counties are putting their cemeteries online.

Alumna Tami Lee Hughes's "The Legacy Show" Celebrates Music by African American Composers
Watch a video of highlights from Tami Lee Hughes's (BM, 1998, violin, student of Sally O'Reilly) solo project The Legacy Show, a celebration of music by African American composers. Her collaborator is pianist Byron Burford-Phearse.
The Legacy Show is more than a concert, it is a musical, cultural, and historical journey. The show features classical music infused with a variety of styles, including spirituals, blues, Gospel, hip-hop, and jazz. Portraying cultural themes of the Antebellum Period, the Harlem Renaissance, the Civil Rights Era, and Modern Times, the program binds music, spoken word, and imagery.
Poems and narratives by such writers as Langston Hughes and Maya Angelou, introduce each piece. A special component of the show is a tribute to African American women, particularly iconic female music artists. Hughes has performed on numerous recordings, including projects for Grammy award-winning artists Donnie McClurkin, Fred Hammond, Aretha Franklin, and live in concert with Smokey Robinson.
Since making her debut with the National Symphony Orchestra, Hughes has extensively toured the United States, Europe, and Central America, giving her rendition of the story and music of African-American composers. In addition to performing, Hughes is an active teacher and advocate for music outreach. She has taught at the University of Kansas, Marygrove College, Interlochen, and the Ann Arbor School for Performing Arts.

i am 78 yrs old and im not sure i understand these answers. my passenger side window won't come back up all others work fine.

The window regulator is probably broken or the power window motor has failed. Your mechanic can remove the inner door panel to inspect and replace as necessary.
The window regulator is the part that the window glass is connected to. There's a small electric motor attached by a gear to the window regulator. When you press the window button electricity is sent to the motor. The motor runs and the window glass goes up or down. HTH. -Jim

We have been negligent updating the blog. After morning planning sessions, 8-hour rehearsals, and then evening debriefing/decompressing Tom and I found ourselves with no time to sit down and ruminate on what we were doing. Apologies for that.
Here's a very abbreviated summary of our activities from this week.
- We spent Monday and Tuesday researching and learning about Bethanie's physical/historical/cultural topography. This included a great visit to the BNP Paribas Museum of Bethanie.
- Having some background on the site, we started addressing the physical space. First by doing a site observation to identify the site's overt (or hidden) architectural facets, and then beginning to explore this architecture. These explorations included guided improvisations, and choreographic exercises focused on identifying ways to repurpose space, physically engage with specific architectural elements, and create movement sequences borne from them.
- We played with some general choreographic images including a wall of hands (coming out of carved openings in the banister), an endless processional (taking advantage of Bethanie's striking corridors), and creating a "Kerry conveyance," by which we had one of the cast members emerge from a tiny, shuttered offering alcove.
- We continued these explorations by creating gesture-based phrases borne from our research and explorations.
- We then adapted these phrases to the site…having the entire ensemble do their individual choreography on Bethanie's front façade.
- We continued choreographic explorations by creating active verb-based phrases on certain areas of the site. Duets or trios created movement scores based off of actions/tasks related to healing or sickness: i.e. to comfort, to bandage, to salve, etc.
- Groups did rigorous exploration in the chapel area, discovering a number of ways to climb up the walls, creep over pews, and fall off of them again.
- We spent Wednesday and Thursday focused on compositional concerns.
- We discussed "Unities," a term Tom and I use to talk about the various ways create focus for the audience. We looked at where and how we'd already employed Unities, and other potential applications.
- We also spent quite a bit of time focusing on audience vantage points and creating an intuitive audience flow.
- We spent a good deal of Thursday and all of Friday refining, editing, and reworking the chorographic passages in preparation for the performance.
I learned so many things during this process, but there were three aspects in particular that stood out for me.
The first was a purely practical consideration: With Bethanie's narrow corridors and verandas, how would one ensure that an audience of 40+ can see everything.
The short answer is you can't.
More precisely, with our short creation period, this was the one challenge that we didn't completely solve. Our biggest problem was that we had too many people who wanted to see the show. A fantastic problem to have! -- a poverty of riches.
We'd initially hoped to limit the audience to around 30 people per show in order to deal with these sightline issues. We'd also toyed with the idea of putting certain sections on a loop and allowing the audience to roam freely around the performance area. This would have alleviated some of the congestion if we'd had time to experiment with making this intuitive for the audience. However, we were again faced the issue of limited time and Bethanie's narrow corridors, which could easily have become traffic jams in the making. In the end, we opted for a promenade format, where the audience moved as group from outside of Bethanie, through her corridors, to the chapel, and then out again.
The creation/discovery of this pathway was the second big thing that stood out for me. In every site-work, there's this moment where you've got some solid material, you understand much of the site's topography, and you're starting to understand what the site is saying to you and how you're responding—but you don't yet understand how it all fits together. You've yet to unlock the internal logic of the piece and how it will settle onto the site.
Our early explorations and creations were borne from the site's topography.That was our first point of entry or organizing principle. We started honing this when we refined the organizing principle to relate to our title "The One You Love is Sick". But it finally gelled late in the week, when something clicked and the logic, through line, and pathway through the site and the piece became clear.
I think this was articulated beautifully in one of our participant's written responses to the site. Kerry Liu wrote: "…I feel like I'm a tiny cell going through a body, entering from the blood vessel to the lung and finally I come to the heart of this building."
This idea of Bethanie as a body or vessel that we were progressing through became the final idea around which we structured the piece:
The whole ensemble started outside, struggling in our individual phrases against Bethanie's hard, rough façade. We came together to watch Kerry toiling to make her way down Bethanie's front steps, and eventually be lifted and cradled by Lawrence who carried her inside, the front doors swinging open as they approached. We made our way as a procession into the central corridor, each having moments of collapse then being aided back to our feet. The group shattered then, having duets, trios, and solos that progressed through the building, each grappling with ideas of sickness, suffering, giving comfort and healing. We made our way to the chapel – truly the heart of the building – where the group playfully slid and tumbled along the pews. We reconvened to create a gestural choir of sorts. Beside us was a tiny, shuttered window that opened from the semi-circular room behind the chapel. From this window, Kerry emerged, was gently lifted and set on her feet (some saw this as an image of healing and rejuvenation). She led us out to the building's side facade and the piece's final image. Outside of Bethanie, Muriel found herself faced with a veritable wall of hands, which she washed and tended to, and who in turn lent her support and comfort.
This idea of passing through Bethanie on a journey from sickness to healing and eventual release had exactly the right feel.
The final thing that stuck out for me was on Thursday night, when Tom and I began to put ourselves in the piece. Up until that point we'd been working in a primarily directorial capacity. We hadn't developed any choreography to do.
Instead of having us just make something up; our collaborators each gave us a gesture from their own material, from which we created a movement phrase. I loved being "gifted" movement and then having my collaborators make choreographic choices about how to adapt it to the areas where I danced.
Though Tom and I stuck ourselves into the piece at the last minute, we found ourselves organically integrated into the work. This was only possible because the material we were performing had come from our collaborators' own investigations, and the choreography that they set on us had come from their own week's worth of experience molding movement to Bethanie's architecture.

If you read my 50 facts about me blog post you would have read that my phone is my baby.
I'm not one who plays games, I'm more of a social media expert so my favourite apps all revolve around that subject. My phone is pretty much my little office when I'm not at home and these apps all come in handy with my hobbies.
Many people struggle using Tumblr but honestly it is the most easiest app ever. Literally all you have to do is make your account, follow loads of random accounts that relate to you and your likes then just start reblogging. I pretty much check my Tumblr everyday when I have spare time just to reblog a few Audrey Hepburn, Luke Hemmings, 5SOS, food, Gossip Girl, Dylan O'Brien, Teen Wolf etc. posts and make my account pretty.
Follow my Tumblr if you have one: https://www.tumblr.com/blog/life-happens-once-x
Bloglovin of course is my most important app right now as I have taken up the hobby of a blogger. Basically you connect your blog to Bloglovin and you can follow all your favourite bloggers on that and easily read all of their blog posts whether you're a blogger or not, instead of having to load your laptop up and going onto their actual blog website, it also lets you know when you're favourite bloggers have posted a new blog so if you haven't been on Twitter for awhile and don't know they've posted something, Bloglovin sends you an email and notification to your phone so you're never missing out.
Follow me on Bloglovin to read all my latest blog posts: https://www.bloglovin.com/people/shelbyamess-13730909
Twitter is my most favourite app to use ever! I ditched Facebook for this yearsss ago and it was the best thing I ever did. It's a place for you to type whatever you want without people judging you because if you do it right, you follow people who have things in common with you and can relate to you. It's also a great way to keep updated on your favourite celebrities (brb my favourite 1D song just came on so I'll carry this on when I've finished jamming out...BEST I EVER HAD, HIPS DON'T LIE, YOU MAKE WANNA TSSSS... Niall tho YAS) okay I'm back, Niall and his beautiful solo distracted me... Yes, all of your favourite celebrities will be on Twitter so get following them and never miss out on anything they're doing! If you're involved in a fandom, yanno like a Directioner, Brat, Mixer etc.. then it's the perfect place to find other people like you and make some amazing internet best friends. (Even tho I don't have any but I have witnessed it)
Go follow me on Twitter: https://twitter.com/ItsShelbyMariee
I am CONSTANTLY on Wattpad reading mostly One Direction and 5Sos Fanfictions.... Some girls are REALLY good at writing them and many are now becoming published authors so you know, if you wanna be an author, Wattpad is definitely the best platform these days!

Details are incredibly important when discussing the mechanisms of trading.
A brief synopsis of Mr Coscia's strategy; to buy a contract, he'd place a small bid at the best bid, and simultaneous a larger sell order above the best offer, then he'd place further sell orders in the order book above the best offer, when he got filled on the bid he'd pull his sell orders.
In essence the charge is that he is manipulating the order book and giving a false impression of the "real" demand and supply.
As Mr Coscia's large orders were so unlikely to be executed (due to their shortresting time on the order book and inevitable cancellation once the small orderwas executed or they were partially executed) they created false impressions ofliquidity rather than genuine market supply and demand.
The market participants who were most likely to trade with Mr Coscia and beimpacted by his trading strategy were HFT market participants or traders usingalgorithmic and/ or automated systems rather than manual traders.
At least one significant market participant withdrew from ICE during the RelevantPeriod directly as a result of Mr Coscia's trading pattern which reduced liquidityfor other market participants as well as resulting in the loss of tradingopportunity.
I have a serious problem with this sort of charge. An order is an order, you have no obligation to leave it in the market for a certain length of time. The reason that other market participants like resting orders is because they provide the opportunity for profit for other traders.
For example a large and stationary bid is a great opportunity for "pennying", resting or leaning on. say a trader put in an order to pay 51.50 for 3000, and the order book is 3000 x 51.50 / 51.60 x 100. This allows other traders to bid 51.51, when they get filled they have almost a guaranteed stop loss of 0.01 and can offer out the stock they've picked up at 51.60, ie to make 9c profit only risking 1c.
The other way to see the cost of this latency, is to imagine that you had to leave your order for a long period of time, you'd suffer from a serious amount of adverse selection.
Anyone placing an order whether they "want" it to be filled or not, is taking risk. It makes no difference whether you trade with a "spoof" order or a "real" order the transaction is the same.
Market participants that are trading on the information in the order book are not liquidity providing. If when you see a large sell order you are "spoofed" into selling on the bid, then you are taking liquidity out of the market, I don't think Warren Buffett is there smashing the bid in KO every time he sees a thousand lot offered up two ticks above the best offer. If anything spoof orders can only help long term investors and retail traders as they provide cover for their resting orders and provide additional bid and offers that they may agress against.

In a five minute must watch clip, one of the sentenced journalists in Egypt details how his news network, Al Jazeera, let them down in a political game between Egypt and Qatar.
In Egypt three Al Jazeera journalists have been sentenced to three years in prison. There had been hopes that at least they might have been sentenced to time already served in detention. Instead, they return to the terrorist dungeon wing of a prison as a result of a political game between Egypt and Qatar. Qatar own Al Jazeera and support the Muslim Brotherhood, who President Sisi led a coup against as an army General on his path to taking power and outlawing the Islamist organisation. One of the journalists, Canadian Mohamed Fahmy, details in a must watch five minute clip below, how all this has played out just prior to being sentenced.
Al Jazeera, or those working for them, were supplying equipment and support to the Muslim Brotherhood, something Fahmy reveals in the clip. The result has been to put their journalists at risk of exactly this sort of political retaliation. One where at their initial trial, they had been accused of working with Satan.
That is about as credible as the evidence ever seemed against them.
My thanks to Roxane for sharing the video with me.

Well first there were the duel posts (HERE & HERE) detailing bits and pieces of history about NYC's early 80's punky reggae masters The Terrorists, who had the pleasure of playing with reggae legends Lee Perry and Roland Alphonso, that hit the blog-o-sphere at the same time and now there are these two competing Greg Narvas pieces! What are the odds of that happening?

Recently Kyle Hickenbottem of Ska- Au-Go-Go fame was coaxed out of semi-retirement and agreed to start posting some material from his writing days. Some of it will be old and already seen before but others such as this interview he did with Greg Narvas and Lino Trujillo of Hepcat after they had gotten back together will be all new. Bonus for us! I've said it once and I'll say it again I'm a fan of Kyle's thoughtful and insightful reviews and writing. That and we both have a hunger for good comics and a proper Los Angeles Ska History story.

The other bit of news that hit at the same time is this interview with Greg concerning his early pre-Hepcat days as drummer for the oi! band Lion's Pride and his continuing discussion of that period in his ongoing comic "I Was A Teenage Filipino Skinhead", which is well worth picking up. This interview also includes Martin Ruane, guitar player for Lion's Pride, as well as singer for Headstrong.

Time to get reading folks! ENJOY!Lawlesshttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-8836288032406641881.post-63658484414634133782009-02-19T22:53:00.000-08:002009-02-20T00:30:13.233-08:00Stepper on Roots Rock Rebel!Roots Rock Rebel

WESTBOUND TRAIN GET IT WITH NEW ALBUM
Boston Based Soul/Ska Band's Sophomore Album Come and Get It Due Out April 21st! Upcoming Performances at SXSW, Vans Warped Tour and Much More!

The best of soul, reggae and ska meld seamlessly on Boston based soul/ska septet Westbound Train's thrilling new sophomore album, Come and Get It, out on Hellcat Records April 21.

 Recorded over the span of two weeks in Brooklyn, NY with producer and Slackers saxophonist Dave Hillyard, Come and Get It features 14 brand new original songs and a reworked version of an old fan favorite that capture a classic, old-school vibe that reggae, ska and soul music fans alike will instantly fall in love with!

"This is probably the best time I've ever had making a record with Westbound Train," said lead vocalist and trombonist Obi Fernandez. "Unlike "Transitions" we were able to write this record at home in Boston at our rehearsal space, and we had some pre-production rehearsals with Dave Hillyard of the Slackers that were a lot of fun. Dave had really cool ideas and brought a new approach to musicality to the table."

Shattering musical boundaries while embracing the best of several genres, the septet has fully come into their own with Come and Get It, their second Hellcat release. The new album invites listeners on a journey, traveling through all of the band's previous influences while creating an exciting new sound that they are eager to reveal to the world in 2009.

Compared to the band's three previous albums, Come and Get It is the best representation of Westbound Train to be captured on record thus far. Two stand-out tracks include "So Many Things a Man Can Say," an old-school ballad that captures Fernandez's love of the Motown sound, and the highly orchestrated second track, "Ain't Gonna Be Easy," written about Fernandez's father. "In addition to the song being about my father, a lot of stuff was going on that was making life a little more complicated," Fernandez says.

 After a relaxed yet amazing year in 2008, where the band shared the stage with the likes of Rancid, Less Than Jake, Goldfinger, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Beat Union and Bedouin Soundclash, Westbound Train is preparing to hit the road in 2009 for what is shaping up to be their biggest year yet.

 Not only will the band be playing two shows at the Middle East in their hometown of Boston, MA on April 24th and 25th, but Westbound Train is also excited to announce that they will be performing on the Hurley.com stage at the 2009 Vans Warped Tour! Be sure to check out the band that was Kevin Lyman's first official choice for a spot on this year's tour.

 Besides the Vans Warped Tour and the CD release dates, Westbound has some other exciting shows coming up. On February 22nd, the band will be playing at the Highline Ballroom in NYC with their good friends, The Toasters, among many others. On March 6, they are playing with State Radio at the Dwight Auditorium at Farmingham State College. And last but not least, the band has been invited to perform at South by Southwest, in Austin, TX, on March 18-21st. Stay tuned for exact date and set times!

I realize this is plenty late after the lineup for this year's Coachella has been announced for awhile now, but...our favorite dirty reggae band (The Aggrolites for those of you who don't know...) will be playing at the world famous Coachella 2009 on Friday...with some other big names...you might have heard of some them...

[click to enlarge picture]

Every band out there needs to sound good. But in these days of Myspace, MP3s and the downfall of the traditional record industry as we know it, bands need to look good too. That's why guys like Combination13 are so important! It's rare that you can find a industry standard artist who's in it for the love of music and to help great bands get noticed.

It seems many bands need to be working bands to stay afloat these days & good merchandise is a key piece to that puzzle.

I've personally worked with Combination13 many times and not only are the prices great for the product produced but they're quick and most importantly creative to the highest degree. As big Ska music fans, those guys offer out their service to such bands at discounted rates. Take a look the picture above! They've created artwork for big guns such as The Offspring, Bowling For Soup & Reel Big Fish, but I know from experience that they treat all jobs with the same level of care & attention despite the bands profile or size.

Should you be looking to get a a great poster for a show, a new logo for your band, some tasty album artwork or some band t-shirt designs you could do alot worse than to get in touch with www.combination13.comGabehttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-8836288032406641881.post-80313725522195695512009-02-15T23:16:00.000-08:002009-02-15T23:21:43.723-08:00Version City Podcast 3

"Whatever Happened To The Likely Lad"

6 Do Something About It@3:51
7 Rattlesnake@3:38
8 Kite@3:05
9 Johnny Come Lately@5:54

I knew I would like this CD in the first ten seconds. It isn't ska-punk. It isn't trad-ska or skinhead-reggae. It is what I think of as classic UK pop ska. Piano is featured prominently in the mix and it sounds great. That coupled with the vocals made me think of Madness right away. They aren't copying the sound, but they are mining the same vein only without horns.

There are nine tracks on the CD. Four are outstanding. Three are good. Only two are clunkers in my opinion. Oddly, one of the tracks I don't like (#7) was featured on the recent Do The Dog Chooses episode on Pressure Drop Soundcast. Not everyone likes the same stuff.

The lyrics are clever and very catchy. I found myself singing along, even if I had no idea what the lyrics meant. The sound quality and musicianship are first rate. The tempo varies within many of the songs along with the loudness and I like this device. It helps to build tension. My two favorite tracks are "Attic" and "Johnny Come Lately". There is an odd 45 second intro to "Johnny Come Lately", but then the piano starts and you get pulled right in. It seems "Johnny" has ED, and the spelling of "Come" in the title has been sanitized. Poor lad.

Cartoon Violence are on the Do The Dog record label out of the UK. They have several tracks up on their myspace page. The label says:

"Superb debut album by Welsh 4 piece crew. Cartoon Violence are the new side project formed by 3 Minute Warning keyboardist Chuzz & their sound is an insanely catchy affair that mixes super bouncy 2 tone ska with distinctly British sounding pop & indie stylings. The 9 track album looks set to garner the band many instant fans with its endless soaring energy, great sing-a-long choruses & wonderful piano melodies!"

I agree! The CD isn't on iTunes. You can order it from Do the Dog. You won't be sorry. There a bunch of other good artists on the label to check out as well.

"A couple of years ago when I needed a song for an anti-war podcast, I stumbled upon a song called "Mentirosa" by a band from Puerto Rico called, Don Segundo. I really liked this band's sound, and when I found out that "Mentrosa" means "Liar's Poker", I was hooked!

Now Don Segundo has released a full-length album on Jump Up Records called "Censura", and not only is it a favorite of mine, but I know that Gabe is a huge fan too. This album is mostly in Spanish with a few songs in English as well as a couple instrumentals. What I really like about this cd is that, although mostly in Spanish, it's a root-oriented ska album, and not ska-core, which permeates so many Latin/Ska bands today.

Stand out tracks include "Start Stompin", which I used in an episode of World Ska Radio, and "I Will Not Beg". If these two tracks don't get your feet tapping, you just might be dead. My favorite Spanish track is "Censura", and I like the instrumental track, "La Dony" as well. And while I do find myself skipping one or two tracks, overall this cd, with its powerful vocalist Lourdes Lopez, is ¡Excelente y bien recomendado!"

The Pepper Pots are now on Megalith Records!Andrewhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-8836288032406641881.post-20345272346373321492009-02-12T12:42:00.001-08:002009-02-12T18:56:23.864-08:00Review: 3 Floors Of Ska: Hollywood!

First of all, I'm back. For those of you who don't know me, my name is Andrew Lyons and I run CA SKA and World Ska Radio. Over the summer, I got bit by the ghost hunting bug, and I neglected my duties as a blogger for MIOO. My bad.

But as I am about to assume more Marketing responsibilities for Bucket Hingley and Megalith Records, I feel that it's time to start writing again.

First up is my wrap-up of the "3 Floors Of Ska / Ska Is Dead" show that packed The Knitting Factory last weekend. What a great night! After overcoming a potential shutdown by The Health Department, 3FOS went on as scheduled to an over-capacity, SOLD OUT show!

Due to a last-minute cancellation of One Pin Short, The Delirians were first up in The Front Bar. This band from East LA plays traditional ska and reggae, and they did an awesome job! First up on The Main Stage was Half Past Two from Orange County. I'm normally not crazy about the whole OC sound, but I really like this band and their fantastic energy and positive attitude. I suspect we'll be hearing a lot from this band in the future.

Next in the Front Bar was Kingston A GoGo, a relatively new band that played great originals and old Jamaican covers. Second on The Main Stage was Rice Rokit. Rice Rokit consists of former Dubcat members and since Kendo, the lead singer, is from Hawaii, their sound is laid-back and funky. Look for their new cd on Megalith Records. (Was that a plug???)

Up next in The Front Bar was Raskahuele from East LA. Raskahuele sings only in Spanish, but that didn't seem to keep the crowd from dancing their ass off! Your ears may not understand the words, but your feet understand the beat!
Deal's Gone Bad kicked off the Ska Is Dead portion of the show on The Main Stage. They never play a bad set, and 3FOS was no exception. DGB killed it!

Back on The Front Bar, The Roundabouts took the stage. The Roundabouts are a great local band who I've know for years. With Michael Firestone on lead vocals and his two sisters on backing, The Roundabouts is a family affair with Jamaican flair. Meanwhile on The Main Stage, Buck 0 Nine showed the crowd how San Diego rocks a stage. Who could resist dancing to "My Town"?

Up next in The Front Bar were Hub City Stompers. Last year, some kids took offense to their song, "Train To Dorksville". So naturally, in true HCS-style, they played it again, and extra loud too! It's OK, kids. Hub City Stompers really do love you... NOT! Meanwhile, up next on The Main Stage was The Toasters. Jah-son has since left the band, but the Toasters sounded great, as usual.

Whoa Mama! After over 4 hours of continuous music on 2 stages, plus 5 DJ's in The AlterKnit Lounge, the final two acts of 3FOS 2009 took their stages. First up in The Front Bar was Boogaloo Assassins. Boogaloo Assassins was an inspired choice of mine because they don't play ska at all. But I've always felt that a little cross-pollination never hurts, and people really seemed to like them. Finally, on The Main Stage, Voodoo Glowskulls put on a blistering set. What a way to finish up the night!

So that was it. Like Christmas, there's months of preparation and then pfft!, it's over. Many thanks to Jason Lawless and all the DJ's for showing us the roots. Thanks to all the bands who showed us the branches. Thank you to all the fans who helped sell out the show! Thanks to Duke Duel for designing this year's logo, and thanks to The Knitting Factory. But special thanks to Bucket Hingley for organizing an incredible night of music and camaraderie. Like him or lump him, you gotta hand it to Bucket who has worked tirelessly for over 27 years to keep ska alive in America. (Was that ass-kissing???)

The minute you see the album cover you'll be drawn in. Inspired by the classic Trojan Records Rocksteady Explosion album it boasts 14 highly explosive ska hits. But be warned, this is far different from the ska your mama grew up with . With that said you can't deny the passion and talent this one man act has.

From acoustic ska to some Sublime tinged rock reggae Robb Blake has a style all his own. Highlights for me came by way of tunes like "Easy Come Easy Go" with its scratches and pops from the vinyl background noise and that chilled out heavy bass line and one drop. Kinda reminds me of fellow UK act Ed Rome with a more rock reggae vibe. Then there's some nice upbeat ska with "The Fun Has Just Begun" and "Pick Yourself Up" with that darker bass tone and bounce. Just some fun danceable pulsing ska. And another is "If You Leave Me" with it's country music guitar licks and straight ahead feel good sound.

But other than these songs I was a bit let down by this release as it really does not live up to the title and superb artwork I was drawn in with. Even though I know Robb Blake's style I was hoping maybe he had taken a turn for some ska or rocksteady sounds you might hear on a Trojan Records album. No, not everyone has to sound like the originals to play solid music but please don't trick me like that.

Musically you can't deny it's quality but it does tend to get a little repetitive. I wish there was more acoustic tunes and an expansion on the sound of "Easy Come Easy Go."

Bottom line, if you like Sublime, Chris Murray, The Hotknives, or similar acts you will probably like Robb Blake's One Man Ska Explosion.

From Tom Chasteen:
Vocal trio the Mighty Diamonds are one of the most internationally popular reggae groups to emerge from the '70s roots era. More accessible than many other roots outfits, the Diamonds boast soulful, gorgeously pure harmonies and tight, catchy songwriting, much of it from within the group itself. They are devout Rastafarians, but balance their spiritual and political messages with sweet romantic material, which gives them a more universal appeal than militant groups like Culture or Black Uhuru.

Regardless of whether they are singing love songs or protest anthems, the Mighty Diamonds bring a startling emotional commitment to their best material, and their debut album, "Right Time", still stands as one of roots reggae's all-time classics.

The Mighty Diamonds were formed in 1969 in the Kingston ghetto of Trenchtown, also home to Bob Marley. From day one onward, their lineup consisted of founder and harmony singer Pat "Lloyd" Ferguson (aka Judge Diamond, the Judge), lead singer Donald Shaw (aka Tabby Diamond, the Prophet), and harmony singer Fitzroy Simpson (aka Bunny Diamond, the Jester).

In 1973, they caught on at Byron Lee's Dynamic Sounds studio and notched their first hit with "Shame and Pride." From there, the group moved on to Joseph "JoJo" Hoo Kim's Channel One imprint in 1975.

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/gwt5J_BNBLg&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/gwt5J_BNBLg&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

They scored two quick hits with "Country Living" and "Hey Girl," and then had their biggest success yet with "Right Time." Signed to a major-label deal with Virgin, the Mighty Diamonds issued their first album, also titled "Right Time", in 1976. It was an instant classic, tackling a multitude of social and spiritual issues with powerful yet graceful music, and spawned further hits in "I Need a Roof," "Have Mercy," and "Africa."

In the early '80s, the group started working with producer Gussie Clarke, reworking old Studio One rhythm tracks into new songs on their 1981 albumChanges. One of those new songs, "Pass the Kouchie" (or sometimes "Kutchie"), was a major hit in Jamaica, and in 1982 it was covered by the band Musical Youth for the U.S. and U.K. smash "Pass the Dutchie" (substituting a type of cooking pot for the original's marijuana slang). Since then they have continued to record and tour, always putting on a great show.

This is my first post. Gabe invited me to contribute to this blog and I happily accepted. It's the best one out there to be sure! I've posted this to my other blog and thought it would make a great addition to this one as well.

Thanks Gabe for drawing me into your madness and here goes:

A long and in depth interview with Kevin Long of Los Angeles Mod/Ska band The Untouchables came up on my Goggle Alert today. I love how that little piece of technology works! Well I figured I'd give it a shout out here since it's a pretty good article.

The Untouchables were on the forefront of U.S. Ska in the early 80's. Along with Fishbone, The Toasters and The Terrorists (from NYC - while not big by any means a personal favorite of mine) they founded the way for U.S. Ska to flourish. I still have my "Free Yourself" picture disc in the shape of a 44 magnum displayed proudly in my house. Watch out people - I've got a gun!

They were signed to Stiff Records (If It Aint Stiff It aint Worth A FUCK!) at one point with Madness and released more then a few mod/ska/scooter rally favorites over the years including "I Spy For The F.B.I.", "Tropical Bird", "The General" and "Free Yourself".

You may also remember the band from their appearance in the cult classic flick "Repo Man" where you can see the whole gang hit the streets on their Vespa scooters (wish I still had mine!). Where have the scooter boys gone?

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/XEiQ5hqT00U&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/XEiQ5hqT00U&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

The band with lone remaining member Jerry Miller still manages to play out and about these days. There is even talk about putting something more concrete together as well.

Here is the exclusive interview with Kevin Long of Los Angeles Mod/Ska band The Untouchables:

"The influence of 2-Tone outside of the UK remains one of its most enduring legacies. In fact, the speed with which the sounds born and made in Coventry, Birmingham and London made their way across the Atlantic Ocean to the U.S. is astounding.

In the matter of just a few short months in early 1980, like minded groups of people in New York, Chicago, LA as well as places as far afield as Portland, Oregon and Arizona heard these records and were moved to start their own bands. These new bands used the 2-Tone sound, look and ethic to kick-start a purely American version of ska which featured a combination of 60's mod, R&B, power pop, rock and reggae."

"Shake It!" is one of those great albums you put on when you've had a crummy day at work or at school. The superb vocal harmonies and instrumentation will instantly brighten your day."-Andrew Lyons

The Pepper Pots album Shake is now available to purchase in the states through Megalith Records!

Imagine if The Supremes formed a ska band. That in a nutshell, describes The Pepper Pots.

Formed in 2002 in Catalonia, Spain, The Pepper Pots, fronted by a trio of female vocalists, Adriana Prunell, Mercè Munné, and Marina Torres, painstakingly recreate 1960's ska, soul, Motown and reggae. Their second album, "Shake It!" continues the foundations set down by their debut album, "Swingin' Sixties", and takes their craft to a whole new level by including such guest appearances by The Pioneers, France's APSO, and Herr Doktor himself, Dr. Ring Ding.

Stand out tracks include the cover of "By My Baby", "Starvation" featuring The Pioneers, and the skinhead reggae-inspired "You Love Her". Dr. Ring Ding appears on two tracks, "One Unity" and "Stay On Your Way". Read More

I am totally speechless about this whole site. Alpha males???? I thought this mysogynistic rubbish was in the past, or at least not openly celebrated……
This is just one blog post I read open mouthed, do men really think this way about women????

Maybe the management of 550 KTRS in St. Louis felt compelled to fire new midday announcer Dave Lenihan because they wanted to make a statement about bigotry.
Hmm. Maybe instead of firing the guy for a verbal gaffe, maybe management should look at the KTRS air staff:
AM drive: Scott & Casey (white & white)
Early PM: Kramer (white)
PM drive: Frank O. Pinion and three sidekicks (all white)
Evening Sports: Tim Montemayer (white)
Nightly sports talk: John Hadley & Bob Bruce (white, white)
Weekend and overnights: All white folks
The only African-American sort of on staff is Reggie McDaniel, who provides movie reviews for Frank O. Pinion long distance from Denver. His rating scale, according to the website, is based on how many "allrightdens" he gives a film.

The subject practically says it all.If I pass the LFO signal through a full wave rectifier, I will end up with a positive signal that I should be able to connect to an analogue input on the Axo.Things I believe I need to be careful of,- Ensuring I work to a 0v to 3.3V range.- Protection against any voltage spikes.- Keeping frequency well within the K rate.The idea is to have a kind of crude external audio source that I can use as an LFO to work through the patch.
Has anyone tried anything like this ?
Typo.. LFO Audio through full wave rectifier into Axo analogue input
The rectifier will make the wave all positive like you want, but it will also flip the negative parts around so a sine wave for example, will come out as bumps and valleys. If you don't mind the waveform being changed, rectification will work. If you want the waveform to still have the same shape, you have to add a DC bias voltage equal to the inverse of the negative voltage and then scale whole thing down to the range needed by the Axoloti. For example, if the sine wave is +5v to -5v, you would add +5V to make it +10v to 0v instead, and then you would scale it down to the 3.3v range of the Axoloti.

Involvement:General (knows how to use it) - Ownership:more than 1 monthPros:
Its a must for cat and dog owners!!!! It gets fur off clothes, sofa's and beds, like no other products on the market. It is awesome!!!! In the past i have tried similar products that use sticky tape to pick up fur and dust but they need replacing often and don't work nearly aswell.
slightly more expensive than i would hope, but thats not going to stop me buying more.
I've had one of mine for ages now, and it still works fine. I'm sure it will eventually lose quality, but i can always get another one when that happens.
I currently have two, and am planning to buy more for friends and family who own pets.

Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne visits Marldon Christmas Tree Farm
Chancellor of the Exchequer, George Osborne, accompanied by Minister for Women and Equalities Nicky Morgan, today visited Marldon Christmas Tree Farm in Devon to welcome the launch of the company's new 'My Little Tree' range to hear about their plans to export abroad for the first time ever this Christmas. While on the visit the Chancellor also picked the official Christmas tree for No11 Downing Street.
The decisions to export to Holland and to launch a new micro tree for the domestic market are key parts of the company's long term growth strategy.
Marldon Christmas Tree Farm is part of Jadecliff, owned and run by Sadie Lynes. The company provides Christmas trees for the wholesale market but also supplies directly to the public on many of its sites. The company also plans to help Britain become a market leader in Christmas tree growing, working with Bicton Agriculture College to form new courses about the industry.
The visit formed the agricultural element of the Chancellors regional tour highlighting the role of women in the economy, which came as new HM Treasury analysis was published showing strong female employment in all four sectors of the economy, primarily in highly skilled occupations.

Homemade Pizza
We received our first box of vegetables from our CSA this week. I forgot to take a picture – I promise to do so when we get our second one – but our veggies are beautiful! The box is chock full of greens – arugula, baby spinach, heads of lettuce – as well as broccoli and radishes and scallions, and basil and oregano! I'm definitely challenging myself to eat new things here, and I am looking forward to this challenge.
Faced with all these fresh vegetables, Roommate and I will be cooking a lot more this summer. She made pizza dough last night, so our first cooking adventure of the summer was homemade pizza! We threw a little of everything on the pizzas, so it felt a little like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Pizza Taste Test. Our pizza included the arugula, spinach, scallions, basil, and oregano from the box, and bacon, garlic, and pickles from our kitchen, but thankfully no hot fudge!
Photos are courtesy of Roommate's awesome little sister, L. Next week she promised to bring her fancy camera and take more artsy fartsy pictures.
