Tear To A Smile
LP (Item 9008) Polydor, 1975 — Condition: Used
One of the best early soul albums by Roy Ayers! Roy's working here with Dee Dee Bridgewater, Edwin Birdsong, William Allen, Harry Whitaker, and other hip players – a perfect crew to forge Roy's unique blend of jazz and soul. This is perhaps the first record to really have Roy stretching out in this mode – moving more fully away from funky jazz, into a ream of vocal tracks that would make him one of the most unique artists of the 70s. This mid 70s period of Roy's career was remarkably fertile, creatively as well as for sheer productivity – and Tears To A Smile is one of them that shows some the most artistic growth, and also a deeper sense of soul! Features righteous cuts like "2000 Black", "Ebony Blaze", "Time & Space", and "A Tear To A Smile" – plus the mellow "Magic Lady", and a great remake of Earth Wind & Fire's "That's The Way Of The World". (Original pressing. Cover has a name in pen on the front & back, ringwear, and seam splitting with clear tape on both seams.) © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |

text: | The 50 on 59 clubJuly 11, 2008 - Per PetersonMy drive home from work Thursday night started out pretty typical. Because it was first time I was actually outside that day, it took me a good five minutes for my body to adjust to the humidity. When you work in air conditioning for nine hours, and then step outside in 80-degree, 120 percent humidity, it kinda slaps you in the face. Then it punches you in the gut. Then, as you're bent over, it gives you a knee to the forehead. And, after you fall to the ground, it kicks you in the back a few times before spitting on you. I hate humidity like George Jetson hates manual labor. I digress. My drive home turned atypical when, much to my surprise, I started gaining on the car in front of me. Then, I started riding my brakes. And then, I did something I do probably once every three months — I passed him! You gotta know, I'm the guy who never goes over 57 mph on the highway. Never. I like driving the speed limit, sorry. But I wasn't done. After passing, I came upon a second vehicle, and as I got closer I was able to read her bumper sticker. The oversized green letters read: "HYPER MILER," and it became quite obvious I was the meat in a gas-saving sandwich. And I loved it. Finally, I thought to myself, I found people who actually have taught themselves to slow down on the highway. And one of them's actually bragging about it! I'm not being prudish when I say people should drive slower, I'm being practical. Test after test has shown the slower you drive, the better mileage you get, yet we, as a society, ignore these tests and continue to push the envelope on the highway. When we see "Speed Limit 55" we go 63. When we see "Speed Limit 65" we go 70, and so on and so on until we're in hyper-drive. Why? Well, some of us just like to go fast, and some are always in a hurry. But the people driving these two cars Thursday night on U.S. Highway 59 South, weren't in a hurry, rather, they were heeding the advice of others to drive slower and save on gas. Finally, people are getting it. I know it's only two out of thousands around here, but at least it's something. A few minutes later, I looked in my rearview mirror and saw about five cars passing the two Hyper Milers, and it didn't take long for them to form a mini-convoy on my tail. Then, they sped by me like I was standing still, probably asking themselves if I was leader in this funeral procession. Whatever. Anyway, if either of the people driving 50 on 59 Thursday night are reading this, thank you. And for those of you who see "65" when it says "55," try slowing down once in awhile — not slow enough to count corn stalks on your way down the highway — just slow enough to save a little gas. That way, when you see an approaching State Patrol squad car, you won't get that squeamish feeling in your stomach that everyone gets right before they realize they about to get pulled over.

Obama Announces First-Ever African-American Education Office!
President Barack Obama is creating a new office to bolster education of African-American students.
The White House says the office will coordinate the work of communities and federal agencies to ensure that African-American youngsters are better prepared for high school, college and career.
Obama is announcing his election-year initiative Wednesday night in a speech to the civil rights group the National Urban League as he seeks to rally black voters. Aides say his executive order, to be signed Thursday, will set a goal of producing "a more effective continuum" of programs for African-American students.
Question: What are your thoughts on the creation of this office?

Inside the World of a "Bath Salts" Drug User (KTVA.com Exclusive)A terrifying look into the life of young people using the controversial synthetic drugHis mind seems to be wandering; he's first mentioning the cocaine he did yesterday, then a fight he got into in the first grade, ranting about his roommate. His mind racing, bouncing from thought to thought, it's like someone's pressed a button and he's living in fast-forward. He stares intently at a photograph hanging on the wall. He stands up, wobbly at first, but then regains his balance. He walked across the room and stares at the photograph of three men. He points to a young kid – "me" – he runs his finger to the next kid, his brother. "[He] was my brother. He don't want much to do with me now. He's got a daughter, pretty, blonde thing. Hates me." Jake looks sad, but then his mood shifts and he spouts out colorful insults aimed at the picture and then slams his fist into the wall next to the photograph. He quickly hustles himself back to the chair, rocks back and forth quickly and seems to be thinking. "You should leave," he says. Days later Jake heads to pick up Elizabeth. She is short and curvy. Her face is bony and her hair is long and messy. She is stumbling out of an apartment off of Muldoon and she struggles to make it down the staircase. The young woman spots Jake is his 1994 Chevy extended cab. She hops in the back seat and is shaking her head. She begins to sob and hit her hand on the window. "Calm down Liz," Jake says and puts his hand on her shoulder and rubs. She grabs his hand and violently throws it off of her, but it doesn't faze him. "Liz, it's okay. It will all be okay." She is shaking now and puts her head in her lap. "Pull over!" She shrieks and Jake jumps. The car hasn't even stopped moving and Elizabeth is opening the door and vomiting. When she is done she wipes her mouth on her black Alaska Grown sweatshirt, and for the moment seems okay. "I gotta get some," Elizabeth smiles and tells Jake. Jake responds proudly, "No. I don't want it." She responds "Then why the [expletive] did you pick me up?" She is shaking again. "Because you asked me to, calm down." "All I have is blow," he takes out a small bag and hands her the latest Sports Illustrated. She cuts a line and snorts it off of the magazine, takes a breath and all of her anger seems gone. KTVA asked Jake why he didn't want to get bath salts and he began to sob. He put his face into his rough hands and replied "I can't. I can't. I have to stop. I hate who I am. I hate it. You will never understand. Do you know how old I am? Do you? Because the other day my co-worker asked me how old I am and I didn't [expletive] know. My brain is [expletive] shot. It's [expletive] shot. I had to look at my [expletive] ID. Do you want to know what is more [expletive] up?" He takes a minute and takes a deep breath. "Do you know what she was doing in that apartment? She had been on bath salts for hours. She will never graduate high school; she will never go to school. Do you know how she gets drugs? Do you? She trades. She trades herself for bath salts. And if I was her father I would shoot me because I am just as bad. I supply her so she doesn't [expletive] for bath salts." You have indicated this comment should be removed.said on Wednesday, Jul 25 at 3:23 PM I'm with cheryl show the kids what happens the the kids that do drugs show them a drug addict that don't have drugs for a while and show them the tracks on thier arms they are now not nice looking any more they look old and sick Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Tuesday, Jul 3 at 11:04 PM This is an incredible article showing a slice of the reality of drug addiction. I also wish that school kids could see and hear what these people are saying while they are in the midst of addiction. And Megan Edge, you don't say "it doesn't phase him", you say "it doesn't faze him". Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Monday, Jul 2 at 9:02 PM What needs to be done is a brutally honest series of classes in the schools that shows what exactly this stuff does to the people who take it. Show the physical effects, the emotional, mental and sociological effects. Show these kids early on what EXACTLY happens when you get into drugs! Autopsies, physical examinations, and detailed medical explanations for what happens to your body. Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Friday, Jun 29 at 9:37 PM What can we, as a community, do to get these people help and get these drugs off the streets? This effects all of us! Inappropriate? Alert Us!

Godspell mixes old, new 0
Lisa Michelle appears in Godspell presented by Victoria Playhouse Petrolia.
Godspell is being performed at the Victoria Playhouse Petrolia as a revival of the Broadway favourite to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the original.
The show is the same one conceived and originally directed by John Michael Tebelak -- based on the Gospel of Matthew, but this one has an updated score and new lyrics by Stephen Schwartz ( Wicked, Pippin).
The original Canadian production of Godspell catapulted the careers of many of our favourite Canadian stars: London native Victor Garber, Eugene Levy, Martin Short, Andrea Martin, Gilda Radner just to name a few.
This VPP production may well have the same effect on the careers of a few of its stars. Jake Sterns is Jesus and along with the rest of the audience, I had a chance to speak to him after the show. Jake, 18, is a high school student from Stratford and his poise, calm and self-confidence are unusual in one so young.
The lessons Jesus teaches through the parables are close to Jake's heart and that certainly comes through in his performance.
Other notables include Stacey Bulmer, Michael DeRose, Alessia Lupiano and Alexis Gordon who has a strong, gorgeous voice and an equally strong stage presence. Rebecca MacAuley, the youngest of the ensemble, played Christine in the H.B. Beal Secondary School production of Phantom of the Opera. She has a great voice and she's so darned cute.
The show begins rather slowly and audience members are a bit challenged to hear, understand and separate some of the narrative because of all the (deliberate) activity on stage with everyone talking at the same time, very natural when you get a crowd of excited people together all trying to have their own point of view heard above the rest. Stage management does a good job of keeping things moving and the audience quickly becomes engrossed in the "lessons."
The energy exhibited throughout the production is incredible -- it can make you tired just watching. The parables and the songs are very entertaining and if you can keep up with the lyrics, there is a great deal of "tongue-in-cheek" humour in addition to the outright hilarious antics during certain scenes -- "the fatted calf" being an audience favourite.
Audience members are chosen to participate in Pictionary, Charades and one lucky person is chosen to portray Lazarus in the parable of Lazarus and the Rich Man.
Kudos to lighting and sound technicians Catherine Soulliere and Pat Morrison for their parts in making the show look and sound great, particularly the lighting of the death of Jesus.
This Godspell was unlike anything else I've seen and it was a courageous choice for VPP Artistic Directors David Rogers and David Hogan.
If you don't mind loud singing, lots of hustle and bustle and bright lights/colour, all of which I love, you will enjoy how you are surrounded by all of these elements.
--- --- ---
What: Musical directed by David Hogan
Where: Victoria Playhouse, 411 Greenfield St., Petrolia
When: Until Sunday with matinee and evening performances
Tickets: $38 adults, $37 seniors, $25 students, family pricing also available for Sunday matinees. Tickets available through the box office 519-882-1221 or online at www.thevpp.ca

Intermediate Creative Writing 1
10 Units
Available in 2013
Callaghan Campus | Semester 1 |
Ourimbah | Semester 1 |
Previously offered in 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004
This course equips students with the essentials of three genres: poetry, fiction and creative nonfiction. Through a close study of texts and weekly writing exercises, students will learn how a good poem works, understand the crafting of short narratives and appreciate the dextrous blending of fact and fiction in creative nonfiction works. They will apply the creative tools they discover through close readings in the shaping of their own work.
Objectives | Upon successful completion of this course, students will have 1. furthered their understanding of art of creative reading - the ability to identify a good text and use it as a creative model; 2. furthered their ability to analyse literary texts in a coherent way; 3. acquired a deeper knowledge of the different genres, literary tradition and forms; 4. learned more about the mechanics of a good poem, a compelling narrative and creative nonfiction; 5. learned to apply some of the literary techniques to their own work. |
Content | This course provides literary training in three genres: poetry, narrative and creative nonfiction. Through a close reading of poems and the poetic beliefs of chosen poets, students will learn to appreciate the labour behind the well-made poem. They will understand the poetic choices in such things as diction and metre. In narrative, they will explore the strategies of short-story writers such as point of view, plot and characterization. They will see how these narrative strategies are also tangibly used in works of creative nonfiction. They will apply the critical terms they learn from analysing the poetry and prose texts in critiquing their own work and that of their fellow students. At the same time, students acquire the critical tools necessary in assessing literary texts and their own creative work.

We had a large cheese and pepperoni pizza. This is a flat style pizza, and it was delicious. This is a family owned restaurant and has been for years. They do deliver to the local area.

On the drive up from DC to Scranton, for skiing at Elk Mt, I looked for a dinner spot to get a cheese steak for my nephews. This place caught my eye for the unusual offering of a Chicken Florentine Calzone. The large Calzone was packed with cheeses, red peppers, spinach and tender chicken pieces. The sauce with the Calzone... More
We were traveling and wanted to find a good, inexpensive place to eat in Harrisburg, and Tonino's seemed to fit the bill. The 3 of us split a Margherita pizza because we thought it would be lighter. There was too much mozzarella, too little basil, and too many tomatoes, making the pizza anything but light and too soggy. That said,... More
Ordered pizza for delivery from Tonino's to a local hotel. The cheese pizza was good, but the Margherita pizza was amazing!!! Even our teenage son loved it!! Delivery was quick and pizza arrived still hot!
All the reviewers are right - great place! The ham & provolone sub was among the very best ever. Wonderful bread and delish fillings. His meatball sandwich was very good too, and the pizza looked good.
I know this is a pizza place, & based on what I see on all the other tables, the pizza is great! But I can't get past the cheesesteaks! The real meat flavor & consistency makes these cheesesteaks stand apart! The red sause is fresh real tomato sauce with pieces of tomatoes - more like like maranara, less like ketchup.... More
Stopped at this small pizza place in a strip mall for dinner while driving through Harrisburg. The cheese steak with the "works" was very good and overflowing with meat (in my opinion, it is not in the league of the cheese steaks I have had in Phili) (I recommend holding the pepperoni on the cheese steak as it overpowers the...

Just got back from our trip to Harrisburg & we could not leave without having dinner at Tonino's and again they did not disappoint. Delicious, hot & fresh describes everything we ate. This time I tried the cheese steak with fries & it was fabulous. My daughter had the baked ziti.......delicious! My husband had the spaghetti bolognese which looked &... More
The pizza here is wonderful! While it's a little pricy compared to some chain restaurents, it is worth it. The fresh ingredients and wonderful sauce really make this place a gem.
Stupendous Strombollis, Calzone, Accommodating, they will change it up for you... definately tastes like return visits!

MP3 Diags finds problems in MP3 files and helps the user fix many of them. It looks at both the audio part (VBR info, quality, normalization) and the tags containing track information (ID3). It has a tag editor, which can download album information (including cover art) from MusicBrainz and Discogs, as well as paste data from the clipboard. Track information can also be extracted from a file's name. Another component is the file renamer, which can rename files based on the fields in their ID3V2 tag (artist, track number, album, genre, etc.).
QuickFunctor is a C++ functor library with many improvements over the standard-provided implementation, as well as over some competing implementations in Boost, TR1, or Loki. Its strong points are arithmetic/boolean expressions with functors, a pretty complete set of operations to create new functors from existing ones, simplicity of types used, the ability to deal with an arbitrary number of parameters for functors, the ability to create a functor out of pretty much anything, and more.
ZebraTuner is a guitar tuner and generic instrument tuner. It compares frequencies detected in the signal coming from the microphone to standard or user-defined notes, displaying the results in both graphical and textual form. The number of notes tested and their frequency is configurable, so it can be used for other instruments and other tunings besides those based on equal temperament (e.g. just intonation-based tunings).

Perspectives: Plant InSites
Think Straight About Orifice Plates
Insufficient flow conditioning often undermines measurement accuracy.
Plants frequently rely on differential pressure created by an obstruction in a line to measure flow. Accuracy depends upon two factors: the correctness of the differential pressure measurement obtained via taps upstream and downstream, and the calculation for turning that measurement into a flow rate.
The obstruction placed in the line most often is an orifice plate — a flat plate with a machined orifice. (For more on orifice plates, see: "Remember the Old Reliable Orifice Plate," for other differential-pressure flow metering options, see: "Look Beyond Orifice Plates.") Orifice plates are cheap and reliable. Moreover, orifice plates manufactured to specific dimensions and tolerances generate known pressure drops for a given flow rate. The International Standards Organization (ISO) has summarized the dimensional criteria; all reputable orifice-plate manufacturers meet these standards.
ISO standards also cover installation requirements. Proper installation plays a crucial role in achieving accurate orifice-plate measurements. The major criteria include a stable flow pattern, a fluid-filled pipe and an unobstructed flow path (no blockages). If these criteria are met, flow meter calculations can be based on the physical dimensions of the system; no in-place measurement or calibration is required.
Let's look in detail at the first requirement, a stable flow pattern. An oft-repeated rule of thumb states that a length of straight-run pipe equal to 10–15 piping diameters creates a sufficiently stable flow pattern. How does this compare to the ISO standards?
The ISO standards include multiple upstream piping configurations — from fully open full-bore valves upstream and downstream to multiple right-angle turns to tee-branch connections. They also detail for multiple values of β — the orifice diameter/pipe diameter, in consistent units — the length of straight-run piping required (Table 1). In general, the lower the β, the shorter the pipe run necessary. During piping design, the final β ratio is unknown. So, many engineering standards attempt to reduce overall cost by specifying a maximum β of 0.55 to 0.63.
The best cases are fully open full-bore valves with a straight run upstream of them, and a single right-angle bend upstream. The required piping runs for a 0.55 β are 13 diameters for the full-bore valves and 16 diameters for the single right-angle bend. Every other configuration is worse — in some cases, much worse. Higher β values increase upstream requirements.
For two 90° bends in series, an orifice with a 0.55 β requires 44 diameters of upstream piping to meet ISO standards. Even with properly installed straightening vanes, this layout needs 22 diameters. A β of 0.84 raises the requirement to 40+ diameters for all types of installations.
What this all means is that if your plant needs maximum accuracy, use lots of pipe run upstream of orifice plates. In some cases, 90 diameters are necessary. Additionally, if you're having flow meter problems, check the installation. I've observed many orifice meters inside process units that don't meet ISO standards. The 10–15-diameters rule only applies to a "best case" — i.e., everything else is done correctly and a low-β orifice plate is installed. Most industrial installations require 20+ diameters. Using straightening vanes can help, but doesn't completely solve the problem. The toughest installations are downstream of flow branches and where multiple elbows in series are at right angles to each other. To paraphrase a quote from pump installation guidelines, the only thing worse than one elbow upstream of a flow orifice is two elbows.
While a plant may start with low-β orifice plates, as hydraulics become tighter it may put in new plates with lower pressure drops (and higher β values). Installing a short run of larger diameter pipe doesn't solve the problem (Figure 1). The upstream expansion creates a flow pattern with unknown effect on the orifice meter.
If the piping configuration doesn't meet ISO standards, accuracy will suffer. For monitoring unit trends, reduced accuracy may be an acceptable tradeoff for a cheaper meter installation. For high and reliable accuracy, always follow the ISO requirements.

Enigmatic experimental electro band Snowman had an unusual genesis, consisting of Europeans and an Indonesian who grew up in Perth and formed a band. They won the Next Big Thing competition in 2004 and a 2005 WAMI for Favourite Newcomer. Further awards, tours with big name bands and two albums followed, before Snowman relocated to London in 2008. Now they've decided to call it a day, but not before releasing their third CD Absence. This is a band that creates music like broad canvases, with the colours running together, rather than precise portraits. The opening track Snakes and Ladders features finger snapping percussion and hazy lyrics that drift in an amorphous cloud. Individual melodies appear and vanish, rising and falling rapidly just like the song title in this acoustic game. Hyena kicks off with a welter of clanging instruments in a percussive frenzy similar to that employed by Shearwater. The primitive chant "Hyena, hyena" stands out clearly above other vocals that are lost in a maze of echoes. White Wall uses a simple mesmerising melody, which morphs slowly into tribal drums. Séance dazzles with its screeching jungle sounds, ghostly lyrics backed by a rising operatic siren's call, and gongs similar to the Gamelan orchestra employed by Mike Oldfield in Incantations. Absence is a deliberately mysterious, atmospheric maze of chamber filling sound. However, its allure is reduced by the similarly in song formats that dulls the listener's attention.
The Middle East's debut is a thrilling collection of dramatic contrasts between light and shadow. The extreme range of themes, leaping between darkness and frivolousness, is well portrayed by the cover; the grim reaper, arm in arm with a clothed banana.
Opener Black Death 1349 achieves its ghostly atmosphere, as the music fades in and out in intensity like a plastic bag rising and falling on wind gusts. The similarly eerie My Grandma Was Pearl Hall, with a Tom Waits style stagger in the vocals, processes haltingly against a low tone that hovers menacingly in the background. Its lingering finish features tip toeing piano, its notes falling like tears into a bath.
The album then shifts up three gears into more up tempo folk, from the toe tapping playfulness of Jesus Came to My Birthday Party to the hand clapper Months. The deep, bluesy Mount Morgan portrays the band's love of the experimental, exploring the limits of the folk genre. The Middle East's music has a fragile quality, which can be almost overwhelmed by the background chatter at gigs, but this production has captured the full depth and richness of their sound.
One night (and it was quite literally, as our favourite sons of sleaze The Hell City Glamours would have it, for one night only) in 2008 punk legends XRS took up the cudgels again for a performance at London's equally legendary Roundhouse in Chalk Farm, the results of which are offered up here for both your listening AND viewing pleasure – and surprisingly dandy they are too.
Star of the show is obviously vocalist (and lone survivor from the band's halcyon days) Poly Styrene, whose dementoid-on-the-edge-of hysteria (imagine an even angrier female version of John Lydon) banshee wail is amazingly sounding stronger than ever, especially on material from the band's seminal debut, Germ Free Adolescents, almost all of which is given a pipe-opening run here. Award for best supporting saxophonist goes to the enigmatically named Flash, whose driving horn tootling really adds drive to every song, lifting them out of the three-chords-and-the-truth quagmire they might otherwise have become bogged down in.
Highlights are the ever ferocious Oh Bondage Up Yours! (which appears twice, once as set opener and once as well deserved encore), a steamrollering version of their magnificent blank generation anthem Identity and the title track of that storied debut, though there's something to like wherever you drop the needle if you're so minded. A great album for fans old and new alike, and a fitting epitaph to Ms Styrene who sadly passed away a couple of weeks ago. Raise a glass when you listen.
They're a bit more experimental this time around but the hard-rocking renaissance of Jebediah with their latest record Kosciuszko is hard to fault.Opener Lost My Nerve is dark and angry (in other words, pure grunge), complete with thrashy guitars and warbling synth basslines that create a chaotic ending. There's something really irrepressible about first single She's Like a Comet, as the highlights include the offbeat drum accents of The Lash and the oddly Melbourne-esque To Your Door puts harmonies against a boppy blues rock beat, along with my favourite, the uptempo Control – with a fast paced acoustic guitar that moves into a Dinosaur Jr-esque rocker with sweet and glorious lead breaks, as frontman Kevin Mitchell muses "Where did I go wrong? I don't want to be in control again."Drum machines and vocoders pop up here and there, on songs like the urgently bombastic Under Your Bed and the eerily serene Oxygen, but who cares? Why should Jebediah or any other rock band take themselves so seriously that they have to be strictly tied to drums-bass-guitar? Kosciuszko boasts a mutated but hypnotic mix of musical elements, all within a fast-paced rock album brimming with excitement, experimentation and sometimes near brilliance. Three words – Must Have. Kosciuszko. Now! Oh wait...
Bill Callahan, whether under his own name or using his now retired Smog moniker, has been delivering off kilter songs bout love, obsession, death, horses and confusion for over 20 years. Apparently he stopped using Smog because he didn't like the way the 'mog' part looked on album covers. He could be bullshiting – it's hard to tell with Callahan. His dry wit and straight delivery often makes it hard to figure what is going on in that fractured mind. What is clear though is that Callahan is moving away from cryptic lyricism to a more personal narrative. Take America! for example – a terse pulsating number that is neither a disrespectful sideswipe at his native country nor tongue-in-cheek satire, but something approaching straight up historical analysis in song form. Albeit one with occasional bursts of squalid atonal jugular riffing amongst acres of sparse repetitive grooves. And if anyone does sparse repetition well – it's Callahan. Throbbing tightly coiled fingerpicked nylon stringed repetition. On Universal Applicant he makes a break and layers on jaunty North African-esque guitar flicks and rhythms before dropping in a delicate prog-folk coda. Stunning and unexpected. Throughout it all that sonorous honey-soaked voice remains front and centre, floating above instrumentation with elegant effortlessness. Every song here, bar one, extends beyond the five minute mark so don't go expecting immediacy. Or Cold Blooded Old Times. Callahan is getting dangerously close to diminishing returns and sadly Apocalypse is only a faltering victory for Admiral Chugginton.
Warrant: archetypal one hit hair metal wonders or serious hard rockin' legacy pedlars? Their new album, Rockaholic does absolutely nothing to decide this most important of questions, but if you're a fan of brainless, big-chorused gonzo hysteria then you'll do worse than waste an hour listening to this whilst pretending to get to the bottom of the conundrum. The worst thing that Rockaholic has going for it is that vocalist and main songwriter Jani Lane flew the coop years ago, so there's absolutely nothing here in the league of a Big Talk, an Uncle Tom's Cabin or, of course, the ubiquitous Cherry Pie. What there is, is some general issue stackheeled strut that at times sounds like none other than Canberra's very own Tonk, thanks to a fleeting vocal resemblance between new Warrant throatsmith Robert Mason and the man Jinx. The rockers are of course mixed in with some big production number ballads, the best of which, Home, is almost up there with the bands best efforts in the field.
There's too much filler mid album – bands still feel the need to fill a CD even if they ain't gotst the material to do the job – and after the excellent latter-day Jovi pop rock of What Love Can Do the album drifts until a couple of corkers at the end let the it go out on a high and leave you feeling good about the whole thing. Not perfect, but pretty good nonetheless.
Surely we're due a '90s revival any day now. In fact, the proliferation of flannel around town might suggest it's already begun. Either way, when it does hit and the kids start trading in their synthesisers for Jazzmasters, London's Yuck are well poised to spearhead the revolt.Borne from the holy trinity of Dinosaur Jr's You're Living All Over Me, Teenage Fanclub's Bandwagonesque and My Bloody Valentine's Loveless, Yuck began as guitarists Daniel Blumberg and Max Bloom: childhood friends who, in their mid-teens, formed and later defected from hotly-tipped British indie-popsters Cajun Dance Party.Yuck's self-titled debut stands as a testament to the band's strong songwriting, as it was recorded on the most meagre of set-ups: a couple of mics into a Tascam Portastudio – which sell for under 200 bucks on ebay – and all of it mixed in Garageband. Of course, songs like The Wall and the Yo La Tengo-esque Georgia would sound great recorded through a hearing aid in a rusty milk pail. While the wonderfully daft lyrics of the latter – "tryin' to make it through the wall/you can see me if you're tall/looking over" – reveal little, they serve to support some infectious vocal melodies.Though much of the album revels in walls of guitars that at turns buzz, snarl, squeal and swirl, almost an equal part is made up of more restrained, plaintive fare. From here, it'll be interesting to see where Yuck head next.

We've been in the new apartment for almost 4 weeks now, and I've discovered something important. . . It's time to move on, not just in our living arrangements, but at work, too.
I didn't want to change stores because I really like most of the people I work with (and the others I can deal with,) but staying at this store is going to be totally unmanageable. To be at work by 4PM, I have to leave the apartment by 1PM to make the connection to the bus at the other end. Then I spend an hour and a half to 2 hours and 15 minutes getting home, depending on whether it's a weeknight or a weekend (and if the bus on either end is early or late, I'm screwed because I miss my connection.) Basically, I'm getting paid for 5.5 hours, and spending 11 hours to get it, and it's playing hell with my fibromyalgia (not to mention the effect on my blood sugar from not being able to eat when I should, or what I should.) I just can't handle 4.5 to 5.5 hours a day on public transit, so something is gonna have to change, soon.
Working with a chronic pain condition is difficult enough without this . . .
If you also figure in the physical costs (increased pain levels and flaring, fatigue that makes it possible to fall asleep standing up leaning against a post, fibrofog from hell, and a diet heavily weighted toward peanut butter sandwiches;) add the extra financial costs (multiple added bus trips because I can no longer just grab groceries before I leave work, buying cigarettes because I don't have the time or energy to make them, and buying convenience foods because I don't have time to cook;) then add in the money I'm losing because I don't have time to write (anywhere from $150 a month and up;) it's actually costing me more than I'm making to continue working at that store.
Luckily, I work for a major chain, and there are 12 stores within an hour's bus ride of the apartment, so hopefully I can transfer to one of them (SOON!) If I'm really lucky, I'll manage to get into one of the 3 that are less than 30 minutes away, so cross your fingers. (Tomorrow's project is contacting all of the stores and trying to set up a time I can talk to the deli manager if they aren't there when I call.)
Other than that, I haven't really found any major difficulties since we moved. (There's a noisy dog upstairs, but I'm not here enough for it to be that big a deal for me right now.) I'm loving the apartment, and we're gradually getting everything organized and arranged. There are still some boxes that haven't been emptied, but they're all either in the bedroom, or stuffed in a closet because the things in them aren't used often enough for them to be emptied. I'm even finding all kinds of stuff I haven't seen in years because it sat in boxes under the bed from the time we moved to the cottage until we moved here.
I will admit, I miss "the boys" and Soxkitty, but it's not like I can't go visit, message them on FB, or call or text them whenever; and the advantages of the apartment over the cottage are worth it (mostly.)
Even better, hubby's doing much better now. He's seeing a different doc for his ADD, and this one a) has ADD herself, and b) actually recommended vitamin D instead of an antidepressant. I've been giving him vitamin D for the last few weeks, but she recommended a higher dose than I was comfortable with giving him without a doctor's advice, and it's really making a difference.
He's also finding some folks to hang out with, which helps even more since it gets him out of the house. He even traded a second guitar someone gave him for guitar lessons. I hear a lot of growling and grumbling during practice sessions when he's not getting the result he wants, but he doesn't give up, he just b*tchs and keeps going.
Things have improved so much that I've even come home to find the dishes done and the living room cleaned up, and he's volunteered to take over keeping the bathroom clean if I'll buy some bathroom cleaner instead of making him use my homemade stuff. I'm thinking it's worth the trade-off of a few extra dollars and the small amount of added toxins, since cleaning the bathroom tends to put me in bed for hours of recovery. I'm gonna have to think about this one – I'm not sure how comfortable I am with the idea of using a commercial cleaner again.
All in all, the move has been a very positive thing for both of us, and once I get the commute under control, I think I'm going to be very happy with the changes . . .

Defeating Debt in Walthamstow: Get Involved!
When I was elected I made a commitment to our community to tackle household debt in Walthamstow. I'm asking residents to help me to do this in a number of ways this month.
On Friday 20 January at 1pm I will be leafleting outside our local legal loan sharks in Walthamstow High Street to raise awareness about the damage these firms do to household finances and encourage residents who are short of cash following christmas to use our local credit union's services instead.
On Tuesday 24 January I am running a free training workshop for anyone who works with residents of Walthamstow in either a professional or voluntary capacity to help develop local understanding of what advice and services are available to residents to help them tackle their debts.
This training will last two hours and take place at the William Morris Community Centre on Greenleaf Road between 10am and 12pm. You don't have to have any background in welfare issues to attend and the training will be given by our local representatives of the Citizens Advice Bureau, Christians Against Poverty, Waltham Forest Community Credit Union and insolvency practitioners.
Finally, on Saturday 28 January I will be collecting food for local families as part of the 'heat or eat' scheme in Walthamstow town centre between 11.30am and 2pm.
If you would like to attend any of these activities simply reply to this email.
Appeal for photos of Walthamstow High Street – before and after the legal loan sharks
I'm looking for photos of the High Street which highlight the proliferation of legal loan sharking shops over the past few years. Any photos of the High Street locations before companies such as Oakam, The Moneyshop, Cash Generators, Cash Converters, Albermarle, Brighthouse or Fish Brothers arrived, and any in its current state, would be greatly appreciated.

Math You Be My Valentine?
Who says math doesn't have any romantic sense ? :p
February 14th is coming soon and the spirit of Valentine's Day is booming everywhere. Not even a Romantic math geek can avoid that spirit. Many say math can't be fun but apparently we can have fun with math. *only if we understand it* Unfortunately, just few can understand it well. LOL
Go and try to type this equation into Google Search:
sqrt(cos(x))*cos(300x)+sqrt(abs(x))-0.7)*(4-x*x)^0.01, sqrt(6-x^2), -sqrt(6-x^2) from -4.5 to 4.5
This was tipped originally by a twitter user @Huckberry .
He showed the fact that typing in the algebraic equation plots several different functions on a graph that forms the shape of a heart.
It has various trigonometry and algebraic functions which was taught in high school before. The plotted lines change direction due to the absolute value function flipping the sign of the x-coordinate, creating a mirror image across the y-axis. What fills the heart is the '300' number in the equation. The 'cos(300x)' was included to make the line go up and down as it leaves traces which shows us colored-in effect.
This formula wasn't made by Google on purpose. It's a pure user invention. Some user often find interesting stuff by typing words into Google Search. I, myself once saw Batman's logo also made in graph but I couldn't find it where now.
Happy Valentine's Day! :)

No Attachments |
Please consider allowing companies where I have an existing business relationship to continue to contact me through any channel they choose. I believe that I should have the right to make my own decisions as to who will contact me and through what means - I do not need the FTC to protect me from companies I decide to do business with. I do agree that all "telemarketing" type calls where automation is used should be required to offer some type of opt-out but I do not believe this should be required before the customer has been authenticated (either through automation or by a live agent). Otherwise, anyone in my household could inadvertantly remove me from a calling list that I prefer to remain on. Examples of calls that I receive and appreciate are: prescription refill reminders, insurance renewal offers, airline seat upgrade offers, and any offer to subsitute a product that I have already ordered with a comparable product at the same or better price. I have received these types of automated notifications in the past and as long as the system is interactive I find the messages to be very useful. I prefer to communicate with systems rather than humans. Not that I have anything against humans, I just like to interact with automated systems - the interaction experience is more predictable and I am always confident that my instruction to a machine will be interpreted with much greater accuracy than with a human where circumstance, personality, culture, accent, etc., all play a role in how my issue will be resolved. Many inbound call centers now feature sophisticated IVRs where virtually everything an agent could assist me with in the past can now be done by pressing keys or even speaking words. This same convenience should be extended to consumers who are being reached outbound by these same companies. Similar to the National Do Not Call registry, it should be the consumers' responsibility and right to be removed from a specific company's calling list where an existing business relationship has already been established. The consumer should not be required to explicitly opt-in to receive pre-recorded messages that contain information that they might benefit from. To require that consumers submit authorization for this type of communication in writing is unrealistic. Please consider restating the regulation to allow for an opt-in to be presented within the pre-recorded calling script that companies offer. Please continue to allow companies that I do business with contact me in any manner they choose so that I may benefit from all the goods and services they offer. Thank you for continuing to protect my rights as a consumer and allowing me to make my own decisions as an informed citizen. Most sincerely, Bruce Rosato

In April, I discussed the facts about green sunlamps and proper disposal. Since then, I've received an overwhelming number of calls and e-mails requesting more information on this topic. Here are few of the most common questions:
Q: I've read that some companies' lamps have passed the TCLP (Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure) test for mercury content. Does this mean those lamps no longer are considered hazardous waste and can be disposed of as normal refuse in some states?
A: As mentioned previously in my April column and throughout the May issue—which was dedicated to tanning lamps—some manufacturers of indoor tanning lamps produce low-mercury versions of lamps that pass the TCLP test. However, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) encourages the recycling of all mercury-containing lamps, regardless of the mercury content. Less mercury doesn't mean that these lamps don't have any mercury.
Q: I've heard that purchasing green lamps will help my bottom line and represent a substantial savings for my salons because of the reduction in recycling costs. How much will I actually save?
A: As mentioned earlier, many states have stronger restrictions than the EPA in regard to recycling. Therefore, depending on your state, TCLP-compliancy might not make a difference. And if you did toss your spent tanning lamps in the dumpster in such a state, a variety of responses could occur. First, the local waste removal company can (and probably will) decline to empty the dumpster, which will affect all businesses that share that dumpster. Second, the state or local government may instruct you to remove all lamps (including those that are broken) and place them in a proper recycling container. Finally, you may incur a fine. So, if that's the case, say goodbye to saving money. Because of that fact, all salon owners should become familiar with and abide by their individual state requirements, regardless of TCLP-compliancy.
Q: Environmentally speaking, just how important is lamp recycling?
A: For the answer to this, I turned to the Washington State Department of Ecology—a great source of pertinent information on the environment. Here is an excerpt from its Environmentally Preferable Product Report:
The importance of recycling fluorescent lamps cannot be understated. All fluorescent lamps contain mercury. Mercury is a highly toxic metal; it must be contained and properly managed. Mercury is an extremely dangerous neurotoxin, affecting the brain, spinal cord, kidneys and liver, causing irreversible health damage. Although a single fluorescent lamp contains a relatively small amount of mercury, it is important that all lamp users recycle expired lamps to prevent the cumulative effects of improper mercury disposal. According to the "Journal Of The Air & Waste Management Association," two to four tons of mercury is released annually in the United States due to the improper disposal of approximately 620 million fluorescent lamps. When disposed of properly, mercury is captured through extraction techniques and reused in other manufacturing processes. Take care not to break the lamps when collecting for recycling.
The report went on to note that all fluorescent lamps should be recycled, including linear straight tubes, U-shaped, circular and compact, as well as green or low-mercury lamps.
Q: I have read that TCLP-compliant sunlamps need not be handled as hazardous waste during disposal. At the same time, many lamp manufacturers are saying that they recommend recycling as the most-responsible method for disposal of spent lamps. I'm confused—what should I do?
A: All customers of fluorescent lamps must be environmentally conscious and adhere to their state and local regulations regarding lamp disposal. The most-responsible method of disposal is to collect and recycle all spent fluorescent lamps to prevent the release of mercury into the environment.
