The Colorado Department of Agriculture (CDA) is hoping to create a "small hydropower roadmap" for the state's agriculture through its Advancing Colorado's Renewable Energy (ACRE) program.
ACRE, whose purpose is to "promote the feasibility and development of agricultural energy-related projects", has already helped fund a number of research and development projects for a number of renewable energy sources.
One emphasis this year, however, will be small hydropower.
"In 2013, CDA will focus ACRE resources in just a few energy themes, including small hydropower applications," said CDA Conservation Services division director Eric Lane. "We continue to explore new opportunities in renewable energy and energy efficiency within our agricultural community that will, in turn, help producers, the environment and the state as a whole."
CDA said the Applegate Group and Telluride Energy have already received ACRE grants totaling more than US$86,500 to "collect, aggregate and analyze market research data on the opportunities, costs, benefits and other barriers to the application and deployment of small hydropower technologies in agricultural operations throughout the state."
"The majority of hydropower in Colorado was installed prior to 1990 with very few installations in the last 20 years," Telluride Energy CEO Kurt Johnson said. "Understanding which small hydro opportunities have been developed and why some opportunities are not being developed is critical information for identifying barriers and recommending achievable projects."
The final report and recommendations are expected by the end of the year, after which CDA said it will use the data to focus ACRE resources on project development.

From David Adjmi, SuperLab #4, Clubbed Thumb with Playwrights Horizons
Every playwright has at least one play in a drawer, possibly one he or she goes back to every now and again and thinks "Oh, maybe this could be something."Some plays exist in a kind of miasma and it's very hard to break them out of that. In 2005 I started 3C as part of a writing intensive at MCC theatre. I wrote the first draft quickly, in four or five days, and we did a reading, and it was an extremely thorny, undomesticated and odd play. And that became my play in the drawer.
I did a few readings of it over the years, but I knew it wasn't ready to be sent out and so I left it alone. So I do credit Superlab with saving my play from the orphanage of abandoned plays and letting me play around and figure it out. A week before rehearsals Jackson came over my house and we read the play together and I took notes and asked her some questions — mainly about actions and obstacles.
My dramaturgy can get very conventional when I do rewrites, but it's good, because the plays themselves can be rather maniacal. I did an enormous amount of rewriting that week. I cut ten pages from the play and drastically changed what was the ending. When I came into rehearsal that first day we had no ending — the play just kind of stopped.
During the first reading we got to the last page and, instinctively I just stopped the actors after a line in the middle of the page. Later I thought, "I think that's the last line of the play." I called Jackson and said, what do you think? And she loved it, and that's the last line of the play and I love it too. Most of the next four days involved sculpting the action of the main character, and building his arc. Some days we did it with the actors and sometimes we'd send the actors home and I'd sit with Jackson and my assistant Kelly and we'd talk it through together and I'd take notes (or I'd make Kelly take notes — I can be bossy!). Then I'd go home and work in the rewrites all the next morning. Then I'd bug Maria Striar and Adam Greenfield. Then I'd bug the actors.
We all had an enormous amount of fun coming up with dirty lines for Marin Ireland in a particularly louche and silly scene. I don't think I've ever written so much or worked so hard in a development process. I just managed to get an enormous amount of work done. I felt so relaxed in the process and you can see it in the rewrites — they feel so organic and alive, and I'm really proud of that. When one feels pressured in a process like this the rewrites get really mealy and stiff and perfunctory and blah, and there was none of that here — it was a blast.

It will take more than a sunny meeting between President Bush and Prime Minister Toshiki Kaifu to smooth over the troubled American-Japanese relationship. While the two government chiefs dutifully put their emphasis on blandness rather than bashing during their short summit in California last week, they could not wish some very real irritants out of existence.
At the top of the list is trade friction, emphasized only recently by Japanese threats to arrest American rice exporters trying to display their wares in Tokyo and by Japan's perch at the top of a U.S. list of unfair trading nations. Add to that U.S. criticism of Japan's refusal to send military personnel to the gulf war, and you get an unhappy situation that the summiteers tried to mitigate.
For Mr. Bush, the session helped him accumulate IOUs that, presumably, he will cash if and when Tokyo's support (rather bTC than its past sabotage) is needed to rescue the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade. Mr. Kaifu's objectives were more immediate. The Japanese prime minister could lose his hold on office if his candidate for the governorship of Tokyo does poorly in next weekend's election. Equally important, he needed a show of trans-Pacific solidarity before facing Soviet President Mikhail S. Gorbachev April 16, date of the first visit ever of a Kremlin boss to Japan.

More information on Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified will be revealed during Gamescom next week, according to a new report.
This week's issue of MCV reports that both Activision and Sony will reveal more info on Declassified during next week's show, which it claims will be released "in a matter of months".
Michael Sportouch, Activision's general manager for Call of Duty in Europe, added that fans "can really expect us to deliver a true Call of Duty experience [with Black Ops: Declassified].
"We are really excited about the opportunities that the Vita could offer us in terms of connecting with a new audience."
Despite the game's supposed imminent release, little is known about Black Ops Declassified beyond the fact that it "explores original fiction in the Call of Duty Black Ops universe with an all-new campaign of Special Ops missions".
Back in June, Treyarch told VideoGamer.com that it didn't know who was developing the game.
We were later told that Activision's new Leeds studio would be handling "all handheld" Call of Duty titles going forward. It's unknown whether this extends to Black Ops Declassified.
So who is developing it? And what does it look like?
Expect all to be revealed when Gamescom opens its doors next Wednesday.

America's future
Let's face it, John McCain is 72. Were he to serve two full terms, he would leave office aged 81.
Eight Presidents of the United States, not quite 1 in 5, have died in office.
It may seem ghoulish, but the fact is that there is a significant chance that whoever John McCain might have chosen, they could indeed be called upon to serve as the leader of the United States were- God forbid- anything to happen to John McCain himself.
Of course, that also applies to Barack Obama, despite his being three decades younger than the Republican nominee. Although I do not particularly admire Senator Joe Biden, the fact is that in his thirty-five year service in the US Senate and in his own abortive runs for the Presidency, he has demonstrated his knowledge and indeed considerable influence in the American political system.
Sarah Palin has only been Governor of Alaska for three months less than two years, and Alaska has a population less than half of that of New Hampshire- or about the same size as Hamilton, Ontario. Her supposed executive experience leaves her totally ill equipped to assume office as the leader of the United States- and that is what we should be seriously considering as we weigh up the measure of the McCain-Palin ticket. I am on record as opposing the rise of a political class, and advocating breaking up this class. However Mrs. Palin is not outside politics- she is just from an exceptionally small an unimportant part of the American body politic. If we look beyond her political life, we do not find the kind of hinterland that could help to make her an informed and successful leader of her country.
Her education- a journalism degree completed at the University of Idaho- is little better than the much derided degrees in "media studies" in the UK, and makes a striking contrast with the institutions that the young Barack Obama attended- Columbia, Harvard Law School and the University of Chicago. Whatever the rights or wrongs of affirmative action, there can be no doubt that Sen. Obama has gained a first class education.
Beyond her education her sole hinterland is her family, which is why much attention is being paid to it though this, of course, comes before the National Enquirer turns its baleful eye upon the issue. Though I take my hat off to the Governor's eldest son for his decision to enlist in the American Army as a private, the fact is that- again- one gets the feeling that the Palin family does not respect the value of a good education. The latest imbroglio over the teenage pregnancy of the Governor's daughter reflects badly on a family that firmly espouses American Conservative principles. That the National Enquirer now alleges that Governor Palin has had an adulterous affair is beginning to make the Sarah Palin look like just as good material for Jerry Springer (who was Mayor of Cincinnati, a much larger city than Wasilla, Alaska), as the usual trailer-park trash.
All in all, the choice of Sarah Palin reflects very badly indeed on the judgement of Sen. McCain. That further problems seem set to emerge, I do not doubt.
They will be the fault of a man who chose misguided tokenism over common sense. John McCain knew that his VP choice would be carefully scrutinised. Instead of making a considered choice, it seems clear that he made a rushed, last minute decision. Through this choice, Sen McCain has demonstrated that his Republican colleagues were right to be fearful of his rashness and impulsive, maverick nature.
It should forfeit him the election.

I'm afraid that you are not making any coherent sense, or else you are contradicting yourself.
First you complain that Palin has not enough experience, and claim that Biden would make a better President if called upon because of his experience and influence on the political system. Then you say that you oppose the rise of the political class, yet don't count Palin because she is from politics. Yet she is not from a political background, she entered politics for her own reasons, and made her own way.
So are you saying that anyone with political experience is in the political class regardless of their background, a class which you oppose, but that anyone without political experience should be ineligable for high office?
You cannot break up the political class without admitting some people with little experience but great skill in governing, as well as political manoeuvring. Whatever her time of experience she has used it to the full and shown aptitude, exactly the opposite of Obama's history. He has shown little ability in governing, he is just an adept speaker and politician. He has had more time than Palin in political roles, he just hasn't done as much with it. That is not what the office of President needs.
Education is not a good test of who will make a good political leader. There are many people with good degrees who have made terrible politicians, and many with weak or no academic backgrounds who are very successful.
In fact if you look at Obama's academic history it is ... I was going to say poor, but bizarre would be a more apt word. He was a tenured academic who didn't publish. He has a history in his political speaking of making statements suggesting ignorance of the US constitution, despite having held an academic post in constitutional law.

Aboslutely! Palin, although a young woman, seems to be cut driectly from the cloth of the old, fundalmentalist conservative that the Republicans are seeped with. Her views are now well known and it's a bracing thought that it's the year 2008 and we have someone with beliefs like hers running on a presidential ticket. And I agree with you that this shows the character and decision making abilities of McCain; if his VP pick was someone different the landscape towards november would change dramatically.

I`m really surprised at this angle of attack , that business of 'experience ' is pretty much an illusion. That's what civil servants are for .Her chief role is to enact the views she holds which people either work for or not . My own working experience tells me that any idiot can lurk in the recesses of a large organisation and a small one is exactly where you do have to know what you are doing . You seem to be arguing for the value of an educational and political elite like the Oxbridge Westminster Media elite we suffer here . Odd.
She seemed rather impressive to me .
What I find harder to imagine is that someone with such odd religious beliefs can be a credible candidate . A creationist , someone who believes gays are sinful and so on. Much the same applies to a Ruth Kelly , most Muslims , I suppose but then I have always found their position a bit peculiar. Her views on abortion are fierce as well , even by my standards and I would certainly like to see the upper limit lowered considerably
The strange thing about US Politics is that as Conservatives we are supposed to support the Republican Party and yet they are very different with little I notice of the sceptical pessimism that characterises Conservative thought in Britain . Liberals do sound a bit like the Democratic Party but were a Palin to appear in this country I would be horrified

yes newmania, I wrote about it myself the other day. Conservatives seem automatically to support the Reps but why? If a Palin type figure were to appear what support would she find - she'd barely be able to get elected as mayor to a town of 9,000 .......oh,wait......

- Cicero said...
Oh come on Paul! Is "elitism" such a bad word? This woman shouldn't be let within 100 miles of the Oval office- she is a totaly unqualified, slightly barking creationist nutter with a few niggling ethics problems. Biden may be a fully fledged member of the pompous political elite, but he has at least had a passport for longer than two years and was talking about Iraq while the war was still being planned- unlike Palin who "hadn't thought about it" until last year.
This pick is reckless and stupid and should cost McCain the Presidency.
- 1:32 pm
Newmania, you're almost there but not quite.
You have correctly identified that it's incongrous for the Tories to be allied to Republicans automatically. But they are, because this "sceptical pessimism" is much rarer than you think it is, in party which is actually full of neoliberal ideologues & culture warriors who want to politicise everyday life.
This explains why ConHome & their sorry tribe of followers are such enthusiastic McCain backers.

- Paul Linford said...
Okay, if we're going to debate this...define what exactly you mean by "small and unimportant part of the body politic." Would you define Derbyshire, for instance, in similar terms, or the Highlands and Islands, or Cornwall? Is a politician seriously to be disregarded on account of the fact that they come from outside the Metropolitan elite?

Ewart said -This explains why Con Home & their sorry tribe of followers are such enthusiastic McCain backers.
Partly Ewart (by the way, what you say about the Conservative Party is absolutely wrong ) ,but also because McCain is a more reliable hand on defence and a free trader which Obamah is not ( what else matters to us ? ). Also a perhaps stronger revulsion to the religiose clap trap self love and vacuous celebrity endorsement that accompanies the Democrats .You might call it idealism…
I think Conservatives are happy to let other people say what makes sense in their own country without wishing to make universal judgements. Liberals tend to imagine they have a monopoly on truth which we do not require. CS is actually talking about her adherence to religious beliefs no more ridiculous taken in a rational context than many more .
Would Mr. Cicero want Jews Muslims Catholics and so on banned from Political life because they believe in an after life of the sinfulness of homosexuality or , variously , the absolute sanctity of life . Of course not because he sees these as victim groups whereas he sees himself as a force of light and reason against the darkness of superstition which is fundamentalist Christianity. Personally I am tolerant of religious and culturally specific markers.
Lets be literal then. I accuses Mr C of being a far right religious bigot inferred this from his deriding Palins religious convictions and supporting an ultra low tax Part by UK standards
Not really , I wouldn't want to upset anyone , just making a point.. I do know what you mean about Con Home though, and narrowly avoided being banned from Iain Dale's site for calling Tim Montgomery a Po faced Nazi. He is the sort of Conservative I like least .( He is never never never funny…..)
( Would the Liberal Party be a small and unimportant part of the body politic ...?)

Errm, small and unimportant? Alaska? What with all that energy and being close to Russia? What on earth are you talking about? May I suggest you read James Bennett's article in the Telegraph today about the pipeline she negotiated:
That will give you some idea how small and unimportant Alaska is and hos inexperienced Governor Palin (no law degree) is.

Change FDA promo guidance: group
Two industry groups, one representing health communicators and the other medical device makers, have sharply criticized a draft FDA guidance on how to present risk information in promotional materials.
In comments submitted to the agency, the Coalition for Healthcare Communication (CHC) said it is concerned that the FDA's draft guidance on risk information in drug and medical device promotion will curtail truthful advertising by providing regulators with faulty reasoning to find a truthful advertising piece false or misleading. It said that the guidance may also discourage advertisers from presenting otherwise truthful information.
The coalition's comments said that the principles described in the guidance must be more fully described, limits to their application must be more fully established and that all must be accomplished within the limits of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act and the First Amendment.Saying that the draft assumes new authority that reaches far beyond both the law and existing regulations, the CHC criticized it for expecting "that all advertising and promotional material contain enough information for an informed decision as to whether or not a drug should be chosen for use. This can only occur after a healthcare professional evaluates a specific product in relationship to a particular patient's needs."

Wolves boss Mick McCarthy refused to declare his side safe from relegation after they gained another precious point in their quest for survival with a goalless draw at Fulham.
Bobby Zamora rattled the Wolves woodwork in the second half but Fulham otherwise struggled to break down the spirited visitors who are now six points clear of relegation with three matches left.
"I don't think we're there yet but games are running out and we have taken another point. We still have important games left," said McCarthy.
"This is silly season. Results are strange this time of year and I don't want any silly results that might upset us."
Wolves' only defeat in their past seven matches came against Arsenal and they will now face Blackburn, Portsmouth and Sunderland before the end of the season.
Fulham are due to face Hamburg in the first leg of their Europa League semi-final on Thursday, but manager Roy Hodgson denied that his players thoughts were elsewhere against Wolves.
He said: "It wasn't a case of Thursday being a distraction, it was a case of having to deal with a team who are difficult to deal with because they are well-rehearsed with their style of play.
"They kick the ball up from their goalkeeper and try to hold you in the box and the first thing you have to do is deal with that and don't slip up and concede goals.
"In the second half we did well to get the ball down and get behind them and we did better.
"But credit to Mick McCarthy and his team because they were prepared to sweat blood and got their reward."

It's early. We're tired. (And by the way, that's not our typo. Fox apparently thinks there's just one writer on the picket line.)Here you go:BARRY DILLER TELLS FOX BUSINESS NETWORK THAT THE WRITER'S STRIKE IS "STUPID"In a broadcast interview with FOX Business Network's Neil Cavuto, Barry Diller, CEO of the recently fragmented IAC, talks about the stupidity of the writer's strike, his interest in AOL and the likelihood of a recession. Excerpts are below.On the writer's strike:"I expect that it will probably be a long strike, which would be unfortunate because I don't think it makes much sense.I think it's stupid. I don't think they should have gone out on strike. Both sides must have really mishandled this one. In order to have gotten to 'strike moment' everyone must have screwed up, which makes it difficult to get them back to some sort of sanity.""What this strike is about is not revenues from first usage. It's about revenues from what happens in this digital age, of which right now there are none. What they want to do is strike so they're protected for the future. The problem with that is right now it's a future that no one can figure out. What they should have done is say, we're going to take the next five year period — we want to know where all of these revenues are coming from. We want to freeze this area until we can understand the revenues, which aren't going to develop for another few years. There are no profits for the work that writers do that is then digitized and distributed through the Internet." On whether he's still interested in AOL property:"Sure. There is very much a limit [on how much he would spend on it]. No, of course it doesn't [have the valuation it had years ago]. The valuation years ago was about $185 billion. I can't imagine you would think I would [put a number on what he would spend]."On the likelihood of recession:"The markets, obviously, are on multiple kinds of hair triggers. They've been that way for a while now. They're wildly volatile. The results of all the excess of the last several years are definitely coming home to be roosted, and they will have a negative effect, certainly, on our consumer economy. The issue is whether the world economy is so great that it can be absorbed with relatively little pain. I doubt it. I think the excesses were large enough that the result will be somewhat painful. I think we're going to have a slowdown. It's something with an 'R' in it; I just don't know the size of it."On media conglomerates:"I'm doing what I'm doing because I think given our interactive conglomerate that crosses so many different sectors, these businesses will do better on their own. I think that argument is one that should be applied to multi-business line companies. And, only with the most enforced objectivity do you say this business really needs to be part of a series of other businesses. And, in many, many cases of media conglomerates, the answer would probably be no."On John Malone:"The voting control I have at Expedia and IAC remains the same. He's a shareholder and I want him to do well. What John Malone is doing is trying to prod me to act irrationally. He did the same thing to Rupert Murdoch for a couple of years. It's a form of happy torture and I hope I handle it as well as Mr. Murdoch did."On the tax code:"I think that the whole tax code is nonsensical, wildly over-complicated. I always thought that flat taxes made more sense because of what they did for wealthy people and what they did for simplicity."On the 2008 Presidential election:"It makes a difference to me that we have someone else other than the person sitting in there [as President] now. I'm a life Democrat but if John McCain were the nominee on the Republican side, I'd cheer for him. I think he's great. Otherwise, I'd prefer a Democrat."

2. God's Judgment Is Severe (Zephaniah 1:2-6)Related Media
Zephaniah (part two)
God's message that Zephaniah delivered in Judah was shockingly severe. God had patiently sent a long string of prophets to warn Judah that their persistent rebellion would be judged, and Zephaniah's message suggests that God's anger had reached a boiling point. Unless they repent, He plans to erase them and any memory of them from the earth. Our future promises another terrible day of judgment for those who fail to heed God's warnings and come to Him on His terms. As the New Testament reminds us, "It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God" (Hebrews 10:31).

Many cabin manufacturers, such as Pine Creek Structures, General Shelters, USA Portable Buildings and Wildcat Barns, offer information about rent-to-own programs on their websites. Customers can also call the companies directly to inquire about the specific details of these programs.Continue Reading
A rent-to-own program for a cabin involves a customer choosing a specific model of cabin and creating a customized contract, wherein the buyer has the option of purchasing the cabin at the end of the rental period. The key feature in a rent-to-own contract is that the money the tenant pays in rent is applied to the final sale price of the cabin, which means that the tenant is essentially paying for the cabin in installments, while being able to use it at the same time. The exact percentage of rent payments applied to the sale price is determined by the business.
Each rent-to-own contract is different, as each business places its own qualification requirements on renters. For example, one company may run a background or credit check to determine financial reliability, while another may simply require a security deposit. Each company also has the ability to define the length of the rental period, as well as add any additional fees or criteria.Learn more about Insurance

The mission of EKSISTENZ is to deliver a set of innovative and interoperable tools, procedures, methods and processes that will tackle identity theft in the EU. The entire life-cycle of identity will be taken into account and the privacy of citizens will always be considered paramount. In order to demonstrate the achievement of its mission, EKSISTENZ will develop a proof of concept relating to banking/finance that will be proven as scalable and deployable at the national level.
The negative social and economic impacts caused by identity-related crimes in general and identity theft in particular are a major concern for all EU member states. EKSISTENZ aims to protect against both.
EKSISTENZ combats the identity thief: a thief who today searches through recycled materials, phishes, spoofs, sends scam emails, employs viruses, trojans and key loggers. And EKSISTENZ will do this by creating a real and strong link between the citizen and its primary identity document. EKSISTENZ will:
- Strengthen the existing electronic-based primary identity document and associated bearer authentication method using biometric features and/or prior knowledge about the legitimate holder
- Derive from the primary identity document secondary identities
- Aid future verification of primary and secondary identities and the bearers of such identities
The key objectives of EKSISTENZ are:
- Develop innovative and interoperable components protecting the citizen from identity thieves
- Assess the technical maturity of the tools by taking into account the outcome results of the proof of concept in a linked governmental/services environment
- Strengthen citizen privacy by generating trusted and dedicated secondary identity in a way that avoids function creep and crossing information between identities
- Provide to each member state the possibility to implement the solution at the national level
- Inform the citizen on methods to recover her or his identity after theft
- Detect identity fraud attempts and respond appropriately
- Serve as a policy advisor to EU member states
- Build an identity theft think-tank community in cooperation with Interpol and Europol
- Lead key actors during the founding of a European Observatory on identity theft
By achieving these objectives, EKSISTENZ will not only make a major contribution to the implementation of EU policy, it will also open up the market for advanced identity protection systems – an international multi-billion Euro market – and will strengthen the leading position of Europe in this area.
EKSISTENZ is set to conclude in May 2017. A final event is to be held in Rome. Details and an opportunity to register can be found here.

How to Modify a Nerf Gun
Three Methods:Getting StartedModifying Spring GunsModifying Pump GunsCommunity Q&A
Nerf guns aren't just for kids anymore. Adventurous do-it-yourselfers have discovered a wide variety of mods and hacks that make spring-activated and pump-action Nerf guns endlessly fun. While every Nerf gun can be modified differently, learning the basic mechanisms in the two main types of Nerf guns will help you explore and design your own mods. Learn the basics and start hot-rodding those foam shooters.
Getting Started
1Get a good gun for modifying. There are lots of different styles and designs of Nerf guns, but the basic models are usually the best for modifying, since they're the most common. If you want to get started, getting a basic spring or pump gun will be the cheapest option that will allow you the most variety.[1] You can start master-keying a sniper rifle later. Start small and learn the two basic categories of Nerf weaponry:
- Spring guns are activated by an internal spring that is compressed by racking a plastic slide on the back of the gun between every shot. This compresses the spring, which launches the foam dart. The Nerf Maverick is the most commonly modified spring gun.
- Pump guns are activated with air pressure created by pumping the gun, much like some water guns work. These guns have a great potential to increase the power and accuracy of shots with some simple mods. The basic pump model is the Big Blast, though this isn't made by Nerf, technically.
2Assemble the tools necessary for basic mods. You don't need to actually do much to make some slight modifications on basic Nerf guns, but you will need a few tools aside from the blaster itself. If you're under 15, it's a good idea to have your parents help you with any tools or cutting that might be necessary. To do the modifications described in the following sections, you'll need:
- A hand-saw
- Philips head screwdriver
- Sandpaper
- Dremel drill or metal file
- Wire clippers
- Replacement parts, if you want to upgrade
3Learn to make "stefans." The word Nerf is an acronym that stands for "non-expanding recreational foam," which is made mostly of polyurethane. Each blaster you buy at the store with come with a short supply of Nerf darts, but get real. The little things are easy to lose and too expensive to buy at the store. One of the best basic mods to learn as you're getting started is how to make your own darts and save money. A general method has been developed by Nerf-enthusiasts, and they're usually referred to as "stefans." There are various ways of making stefans, but the simplest is described here. You'll need to complete the mods described below to use them.[2]
- You will need half-inch foam backer rod to cut the darts. This is also sometimes called "caulk saver" and is available at any home repair store, usually with the winterizing supplies and caulking materials. It should look familiar (it's the same basic material as Nerf darts). The backer rod will usually be curled up in a loop, which means you'll have to straighten it out before you cut it into individual darts. Most people do this by taping them flat, to a table or some other flat surface for about a day and letting it flatten out naturally.
- To weight the darts, most people use either BB's or fishing weights. You'll also need scissors and hot glue to make stefans.
- Cut the foam rod into two-inch sections and make a tiny hole in one end to insert the BB or the fishing weight. Use a small dab of hot glue and attach the weight, then let it dry.
4Invent your own mods. Everybody's got their own little tricks and opinions about the best hacks and mods for Nerf guns, and everybody likes different guns. There's no "right" way to do it. The best way to learn is to learn to take apart the gun and see how it works, then start developing your own ideas and mods and trying them out. Check out some other articles about specific mods for specific models below:
- Make a homemade Nerf sniper scope
- Paint a Nerf gun
- Make a Nerf gun shot farther
- Easily modify a Nerf Longshot

- Mod a Nerf Nite Finder
Modifying Spring Guns
1Remove all the screws holding the housing together. The first step to modifying a spring-activated Nerf gun is to take it apart and examine the internal components. The housing of most guns is two plastic halves held together by Philips-head screws. Larger guns will have more screws, but the smaller hand-held pistol style blasters will sometimes have as few as three.
- Remove the screws with your screwdriver and set them aside. Pull the two halves of the gun together to reveal the internal components. One side should just be a shell, and all the parts should be attached to the other side.
2Remove the cylinder and unscrew the cap. If you're modifying a Maverick (the easiest way to start), the most common beginner mod is to remove the air restrictors and the barrel posts, which keep you from being able to use stefans, and which decrease the power behind each shot. To do this, you need to pull the cylinder loose, where the darts are kept before they're fired.
- The cylinder that holds the darts should pull out without having to pull very hard. Just grab it in your hand firmly and pull it back out away from the shell of the gun. With it should come a gray or beige plastic endplate, which you'll need to remove.
- Usually the endplate is attached with a little orange cap you can pop off using the flat end of a screwdriver, or just using your fingers. Don't lose this cap, or you won't be able to reassemble the blaster.
3Clip off the barrel posts. Nerf-brand darts are hollow, and slide onto a post in each barrel of the blaster. For a long time, this kept people from being able to make your own darts. Fortunately, you can just clip them off. Remove the end cap with the barrel post from each cylinder and use wire-clipper or some other type of lopper to cut them off, as close to the endplate as possible.
- If you want, you can sand up the nub that you leave with some sand-paper to clean up the end. It's not necessary, but it'll be cleaner.
- Reassemble the cylinder by attaching the orange plastic end caps to each of the cylinders and putting the cylinder chamber back together. You're ready to turn your attention to the end plates.
4File the nubs off the end plates for the "Russian roulette" mod. Remove the gray plastic plate from the end of the cylinder, if you haven't already and find the little arc-shaped plastic nub on the side of it. This is used to stop the cylinder from spinning freely, so you can rotate the chamber in the gun like you're Jesse James. This won't make the gun shoot any differently, but it looks awesome.
- If you want to complete this mod, file off the nub using a metal file, or a Dremel drill. Smooth it up as much as possible to make the plastic flat, so the chamber won't catch on it. If it doesn't, it won't spin right. Make sure you get help and permissions if you're using a power tool.
- Reattach the end plates to the blaster and put the cylinder back in the gun. If you wanted about 5–10 feet (1.5–3.0 m) more distance out of your gun and the ability to spin the chamber, you're done. Put the housing back together.
5Upgrade the spring. If you want more power out of your gun, upgrade to a stronger spring. Examine the firing components of the gun, pulling the spring loose. It's a cheap, flimsy piece of metal, that you can easily upgrade with a trip to the hardware store. Take the spring with you to look for a spring that matches the width and length, and buy one made of a higher quality material.
- Sometimes, replacing the spring will leave you with a little gap at the back of the gun, where the spring won't go flush with the plastic. To remedy this, you can use a small stack of pennies–three or four should do–to slot in and give the spring something to rest against. The pennies should fit into the chamber perfectly.
6Consider replacing the barrel. Some really power-obsessed modders like to cut the barrel off the end of the blaster and replace it with a length of PVC pipe that matches the width of their stefans. Keeping a tighter seal and increasing the pressure of the spring can make the darts go much farther and faster.
- If you want to do this, cut off the barrel of the gun just where it meets the "body" of the gun, and discard it. Cut a length of half-inch diameter PVC pipe that matches the rough length of the barrel, and hot-glue it into place carefully, holding it to complete the seal. It's best to glue around the outside, to avoid little nubs of glue on the inside.
- If you like the way the gun looks, don't do this. Barrel replacements look pretty bootleg, and you'll gain a little power, but make your gun look kind of ridiculous.
Modifying Pump Guns
1Remove all the screws and expose the internal components. Nerf doesn't actually make many air-pressure pump guns, but many people refer to all foam blasters as "Nerf guns," so this is a common mod in Nerf circles. These guns are typically primed by pumping a primer about five times to build up air pressure, which then shoots the gun. A plastic release valve is included for safety purposes, keeping the gun from exploding. You can plug that valve and get more power out of your gun, as long as you're careful.
2Remove the pump assembly. On a pump-action gun like this, the pump should come loose in one easy piece. It should have a long insert and a thicker chamber that's used to fill with air, a bit like a bike pump or some other kind of pressure pump. Pull it loose, as it shouldn't be screwed into anything after you remove the housing.
- Unscrew the end cap and pull the primer from the air chamber housing. It should have an end piece with a little rubber seal around it, which is used to create friction and pump the air.
3Plug the pressure release valve with hot glue. On the end of the chamber where the air is pumped, there should be a little open release valve, which is basically just a hole. This is used to let some air escape if you over-pump the gun, creating too much pressure. If you plug this hole, you can get a lot more strength out of your blaster.
- Use a small dot of hot glue over the hole, smoothing it out and making sure it seals and covers the hole completely. Let it dry thoroughly before moving forward.
- Please note that the release valve is included to keep the plastic from breaking and popping open when you fill the chamber with pressure. It's toy-grade plastic we're talking about here, not strong metal, so you'll run the risk of breaking the gun completely if you do this, making it irreparable. You might get more power out of it, but only for a short period of time before it breaks.
4Improve the seals. Another way to increase the power is to remove the black rubber O-rings from the plunger in the air pump and replace them with thicker rubber. This will create a tighter seal around the pump, creating more pressure and more power with each shot. Again, if you've plugged the release vale, this could be a stressful amount of pressure on the plastic, so be aware and be gentle if you do this.
- Remove the rubber seal and take it to the plumbing section of the hardware store to look for seals. Get one with the same diameter, but a thicker gauge. It should feel much snugger in the barrel, and more difficult to pump. That's because there's more pressure in the barrel.
5Test it out and use caution when pumping. It's likely you'll only need to pump the gun once or twice to get a lot of pressure into it. Don't start pumping away like you're trying to pump up an air mattress, or the gun will break. Be very careful to avoid cracking the gun and breaking it for good.

A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE Day Two - Scenes IV-V
Lesson 2 of 5
Objective: SWBAT interpret A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE through all-class reading, writing, and collaborative discussion.
Big Idea: "You take it for granted that I am in something that I want to get out of" (Stella, Scene IV, A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE).
My classes are held in 100-minute block sessions every other day. Activities in this lesson take one one class period to complete. The lesson below outlines Day Two on A Streetcar Named Desire. Please view the video overview for more information (Video: Overview of Day Two).
For all-class reading and discussion, teachers working with students who are building critical reading proficiency can use a teacher-developed study guide on the play as a resource. It includes discussion questions on each scene as well as extended learning opportunities. I have included it as a resource in this section and will include it in each subsequent lesson to facilitate its use.

Text v. Clip: Scenes I-III
I explain to students that today we are going to review Scenes I-III by distinguishing differences between the text and the clip (A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE, Warner Bros., 2006). I ask students to list differences between the text and the clip as we view Scenes I-III. I point out that this is a black and white film, starring Marlon Brando (who most of them know from "The Godfather" films) and Vivien Leigh, who starred as Scarlet O'Hara in the film "Gone With the Wind." I explain that Vivien Leigh is quite believable as Blanche in my eyes because her character Scarlet in "Gone With the Wind" did everything she could to save the family home.
After we view the clip, I provide students with a few minutes to refer back to the text and finish their list of differences. Then, they share their findings with a partner. Some differences students find are as follows:
- Blanche goes to the bowling alley to meet with Stella while she waits at Stella's apartment in text.
- Blanche seems more vulnerable than Stella in the clip.
- Stanley seems more flirtatious than Blanche in the clip.
- Stanley approaches the loss of Belle Reve less aggressively in the clip than in the text.
- In the clip, Blanche notices someone has gone through her belongings.
After students finish sharing their findings, I ask them to reflect on our findings and write a paragraph that answers the question: "How does viewing the clip affect your interpretation of the text?". I ask volunteers to share their writing (Student Work: Interpretation - Text v. Clip). Some student reflections are as follows:
- The clip makes it easier to visualize what's going on in the text, even if it isn't always technically faithful to the text.
- The video helped to show more emotion and the effects certain actions had on characters' emotions.
- The clip makes me like or dislike characters more. I like Blanche and Stanley less because I have a better idea of what was going on between them, the power struggle for Stella. I like stella more in the clip. It makes her seem stronger and less weak than in the text. She is in love with Stanley no matter what.
Overall the students say that they enjoy watching the clip because they can check their comprehension of the text and get a visual interpretation of what they have read.

We continue reading the play, exploring Scenes IV and V, by listening to the audiobook (HarperCollins, 2008) from Audible. We read both scenes back to back due to time constraints. After reading, we discuss characterization; character motivation; and the tensions Williams develops in the text, such as Blanche and Stella's desires vs. reality. Highlights are below.
- How do Blanche and Stella portray their desires in these scenes? Blanche's desire is for her sister to have a better life than the one she has with Stanley; she believes Stanley is primitive and serves as Stella's oppressor. Stella's desire remains firmly with Stanley; she accepts Stanley for who he is, telling her sister, "You seem to think that I am in something I mean to get out of" (Scene IV).
- Why do you think Williams allows Stanley to overhear Stella and Blanche's conversation? Stanley's overhearing Stella and Blanche's conversation is vital to creating tension in the play. Stanley vs. Blanche: Blanche threatens Stanley's marriage. If he knows what Blanche thinks about him, he has motivation to invalidate Stella's image of Blanche by discrediting her.
- Why do you think appearances are more important to Blanche than reality? Blanche uses her femininity to gain the trust of men. She thinks she needs a man to protect her. She does not believe she can acquire a man's affections unless she appears young, beautiful, and refined.
Students note that Blanche and Stella are diametrically opposed to one another due to their life choices. Stanley represents Stella's new life while Blanche represents her old life at Belle Reve. Stella seems caught in between her loyalty to Stanley and her loyalty to Blanche, but desire for Stanley consumes her.
Ticket Out
I explain to students that since we are running out of time, I want them to write 20 discussion questions on the play through Scene V. We will use these questions for collaborative discussion of the text next class. Students have a few minutes to start in class and must finish for homework. Some questions are as follows:
- Does Stanley's drunkenness justify him beating Stella? Explain.
- Does sex make up for Stanley's wrongdoings (e.g. beating Stella)?
- What do you think Blanche actually did in Laurel when she told Stella she wasn't so good in the last two years or so?

For one who looks at Beauty in the only way that Beauty can
be seen—only then will it become possible for him to give birth
(tiktein) not to images of virtue—because he's in touch with no
images—but to true virtue—because he is in touch with true
Beauty. And being theophiles (god-loved/god-loving) belongs
to anyone who has given birth to true virtue and nourished it,
and if any human being could become immortal, it would be
this one. ~Diotima in The Symposium

Wonder by RJ Palacio
Author: R.J. Palacio
Title: Wonder
Date of Publication: January 2013
AR Level: 4.8
Summary of book
The story follows a young teenager, August, as he spends his first year at school after a number of years being home schooled. August is an ordinary boy. The only difference between him and other children in that he has a facial dis-figuration which he was born with. The book covers his first year as he builds his confidence, makes (and loses) friends and learns the ups and downs of normal school life. The book is told from August's point of view in some chapters but it's also told from others characters' points of view which enriches the book.
Who should read this book?
This book is good for everyone aged 9 and up as it makes you think about who you are and how you treat other people. I think adults would like this as much as children so it's a lovely one for parent and child to read. I think boys and girls will like it equally as much as one another.
Who are the main characters?
August, 12ish
Via, August's sister
Jack, Summer, Julian – some of August's classmates
What can I learn from it?
Lots! This is a book about bullying and it really helps you to 'put yourself in someone else's shoes' and connect with a variety of characters. It helps you to understand people, family and friendships a little more and definitely reminded me not to judge a book my its cover!
This book also covers the issue of grief and bullying so be careful reading this if you're sensitive to either.
Bullying, friendship, identity, school, families, self-confidence, grief, death of animals, jealousy
What will excite a reader?
The character perspective keeps on changing so you get to see situations from a variety of points of view which is really interesting. August is such a likeable character and, as a reader, you grow attached to him quite quickly. August is quite funny to so I giggled at a few of his jokes and smiled when he smiled. The chapters are nice and short too so it will keep you interested.
What did Mrs T think of it?
I loved it! It really made me think about myself and the way I thought of others. At one point in the book I was balling my eyes out (really!) as it triggered some memories in me and was so heartfelt and genuine (see spoiler below if you want to find out more). I loved the ending and was smiling for a good hour after finishing reading it! I would definitely read it to a class as I feel it is so relevant to children today and we can learn a lot from it.

Jack Kerouac Quotes About MadnessQuotes about: Madness
I realized these were all the snapshots which our children would look at someday with wonder, thinking their parents had lived smooth, well-ordered lives and got up in the morning to walk proudly on the sidewalks of life, never dreaming the raggedy madness and riot of our actual lives, our actual night, the hell of it, the senseless emptiness.
God was gone; it was the silence of his departure. It was a rainy night. It was the myth of the rainy night. Dean was popeyed with awe. This madness would lead nowhere. I didn't know what was happening to me, and I suddenly realized it was only the tea that we were smoking; Dean had bought some in New York. It made me think that everything was about to arrive - the moment when you know all and everything is decided forever.
Somebody had tipped the American continent like a pinball machine and all the goofballs had come rolling to LA in the southwest corner. I cried for all of us. There was no end to the American sadness and the American madness. Someday we'll all start laughing and roll on the ground when we realize how funny it's been.

Congressman Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) recently took a tour of the B'nai B'rith Homecrest House, in Silver Spring, Md. In addition, the congressman answered questions from the residents of the buildings in a town hall-style format. B'nai B'rith's long history with Section 202 housing started in 1971 when we formed a partnership with HUD to sponsor housing for low-income seniors. The B'nai B'rith Senior Housing Network in the United States comprises 38 buildings and serves more than 8,000 people. B'nai B'rith International is the largest national Jewish sponsor of low-income housing for seniors in the country.
When the congressman arrived at Homecrest House, he was greeted by Homecrest House Board President Bruce Menditch; Vice President Michael Goldman and; Executive Director Joe Podson. Welcoming him from B'nai B'rith were B'nai B'rith International Associate Director of the Center for Senior Services Janel Doughten; Assistant Director for Aging Policy Evan Carmen; and Senior Program Associate Breana Clark. The parties talked with the congressman about the amenities and services that Homecrest House provides to its residents, B'nai B'rith's history with affordable housing and federal government funding for the rest of the 2017 fiscal year.
After the tour, the congressman dazzled everyone in attendance by sitting behind the piano and demonstrating his musical talent. Then, during the town hall, Congressman Raskin took questions from the residents on a variety of topics ranging from basic senior issues to affordable housing to foreign policy. After the Q and A, he took time to meet personally with all those in attendance.
In the months ahead, we will be working hard to encourage additional representatives and senators to visit B'nai B'rith sponsored buildings across the country. As demonstrated by the congressman's onsite visit, inviting your member of Congress to visit affordable housing properties is a great way to advertise how integral these buildings are to low-income seniors being able to "age in place."
Evan Carmen, Esq. is the Assistant Director for Aging Policy at the B'nai B'rith International Center for Senior Services. He holds a B.A. from American University in political science and a J.D. from New York Law School. Prior to joining B'nai B'rith International he worked in the Office of Presidential Correspondence for the Obama White House, practiced as an attorney at Covington and Burling, LLP, worked as an aide for New York City Council Member Tony Avella and interned for Congressman Gary Ackerman's office.

Hold that contract! INC. hears the impending $18 million sale of Mike Deaver`s Washington-based political consulting firm may have fallen through because of his request for a special prosecutor to investigate allegations of conflict of interest. According to consulting industry sources, Deaver`s negotiations with a British company, which were close to being sewed up, are unraveling. Deaver, President Reagan`s former White House deputy chief of staff, still maintains close ties with the President. And the President is none too happy about Deaver`s difficulty.
Hmmmmmm. So First Lady Nancy Reagan has been keeping a White House diary. Ohhhhhh. And she`s hinting that she just might pen her White House memoirs. Ahhhhhh. A diary. A journal. Wonder what she`ll say about daughter Patti? Will she do as her daughter did unto her? ``Her father told her to keep a diary when she was the governor`s wife, but she didn`t and regretted it,`` said an INC. source. ``She`s already had offers to publish. But she`s keeping coy on this one.`` Will Nancy, who wrote an autobiography entitled ``Nancy`` in 1980, join former First Ladies Betty Ford and Rosalynn Carter on the book beat? Stay tuned.

I met Bob MacDonald last week for lunch at Marla's. It's a restaurant that Bob has wanted to take me to for years, a place I have had on my list for a long time and just hadn't gotten around to visiting. I soon realized I've been missing out. If you haven't been to Marla's, you're depriving yourself of some of the best cooking in the Twin Cities—I was floored.
Located at the corner of 38th and Bloomington just south of Powderhorn Park, Marla's Caribbean Cuisine is justifiably famous for its incredibly fresh, spicy, flavorful, from scratch, honest and delicious Pan-Caribe style food. A native of Trinidad and Tobago, Marla (yes, the Marla is always cooking in the kitchen) is a doyenne of jerk, bringing scotch bonnet spice to the Northern Prairie extremes where freshly ground black pepper is often the spiciest item in the cupboard. She's perfected that Caribbean mashup of Indian, Creole, and Latin flavors that are hard to come by in Minneapolis. All her food is available in a wide range of spice levels, from mild to "Indian hot" and the extreme "Marla's hot." If you go for that one, be prepared for serious heat. There are more mix-and-match and menu combos than I can keep track of, be sure to flip the menu over.
Here are some of the dishes I love:
Stewed brown down oxtails: sweet beefy braise of Caribe grandmother food. Don't miss this winner.
Doubles with curried garbanzo beans: My favorite island-style street food. Marla's version of these little bread/crepe fold-overs are the best 'cheap-eat' I can think of. Amazing value for great food.
Jamaican Jerk wings: Fried and then glossed with a sauce so superbly piquant that when the wings are cleared from the plate I eat the sauce with a spoon. Seriously.
Channa and potato Caribbean curry: I scoop this golden curry up with as much roti as I can and sprinkle it with lime and house-made hot sauce . . . and you can make it a meal if you are so inclined.
Jerk Chicken
Jerk Chicken: Delightful, hot and herby—just how I like it.
Goat curry: Superbly crafted. Not greasy, not tough, not too much barnyard.
Dhalpourie roti: A flatbread filled with ground split peas. I ate two and took three home with me. Enough said. Well, almost . . . you can ask for goat, shrimp, chicken, or other meats to be on yours if you like. Huge win.
Red beans and rice: The best version in town. Both elements perfectly cooked, which is harder than it appears. Go ahead and try it yourself if you don't believe me. Marla's beans and rice are beautifully seasoned too. Salt works miracles when used the right way, I wish more cooks understood that.
Fried plantains: Sweet, caramelized perfection. I ate two orders. Truth.
Sorrel: My favorite drink with spicy food. Marla's version of the sweet ginger/hibiscus punch is superb.
Peanut Punch: Filling and absurdly good if you have a taste for it. This is the stuff that Islanders always tell me is the prime source of all their energy. It's fun to taste and share. You might adore it.
Sweet Potato Pie: Gloriously homemade. Superb sweet potato reverence without relying on too much nutmeg for its flavor platform.
From the front of the house to the back, it's a family-run operation, where everyone pitches in with a smile on their face. The friendly staff, kitschy Caribbean décor (fake palm trees, plastic crocodiles, Jamaican flags) and home-cooked specialties give off an island vibe that I'll gladly soak up during the dreary Minnesota winter. With only a few dozen seats, the restaurant can get packed at prime time for lunch, and take-out is a nice option if you're pressed on time.

For a long time Dunlop Volleys have been the shoe of choice for a lot of bushwalkers and canyoners in NSW.
They are particularly good for canyoning. The sole, favoured by roofers for a long time, has very good grip. This naturally carries over to canyoning. Volleys have changed over the years. The original Volley OC has gone. Manufacture of the remaining model – the Volley International moved from Australia to overseas in the 80's and a lot of bushwalkers were worried that the quality of the shoe would deteriorate. It did perhaps, but not as much as feared.
A more expensive model – the "Volley Classic" was also made but did not seem to offer any great advantages in terms of wear or durability. Its thicker sole had a honeycomb manufacture that starts to crumble after a while when the shoes are used for bushwalking or canyoning.
Recently, things have changed. And significantly for the worse! The old style Volley Internationals are no longer made. A replacement model is available that looks superficially the same. One way to tell the new from the old is to look inside. The new models are coloured inside. The old models are the same colour as the outside (e.g. white). The old models have "Dunlop" just above the laces, the new models have "Volley".
I have not tried the new models, but some friends have. They are universally disappointed with them. They seem narrower for a given size and seem to pinch the heel as well. The inner sole seems very poorly made and slops about in the shoe when wet. The upper seems to last about as long as the old model but the sole seems to wear out much much quicker. On a recent trip, I was wearing old style Volleys and two friends had the new style ones. We wore them in exactly the same country for 5 days of very rough canyoning in the Northern Blue Mountains. This country is very hard on footwear – and Volleys do not last too long. A pair of the old model Volleys would probably last about 10 – 14 days of hard use. Have a look at the photo showing the sole wear difference between the two models. Both shoes were unused before the trip – and straight from the box.
You can leave feedback for the company at this website. I certainly will.

Watch how to make this recipe.
In a large mixing bowl, add the masa harina, cumin, cayenne pepper, and salt and combine well. Add the water, 1/2 cup at a time, until the dough forms a ball that can be handled. Form the dough into 12 equal tangerine-size balls, cover with a damp paper towel and set aside.
In a small saucepan, over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon canola oil and when hot, add the chorizo, saute for 5 to 6 minutes, then add onions, bell pepper and chile pepper. Saute until the onion is translucent, then add the granulated garlic and the beans. Heat through and add the lime zest and juice. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, to taste, and remove from the heat.
Combine the queso quesadilla cheese with the pepper jack in a small bowl, and set aside. Slice the avocado flesh and set aside.
Put 2 balls of masa between 2 sheets of parchment, about 6 inches apart. With a small saute pan or pie dish, apply even pressure until the masa is flat and about 6-inches in diameter. Pull back the parchment and top 1 of the discs with about 2 slices of avocado, then 3 tablespoons of the black bean mixture, and about 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture. Top with the second, plain masa round. Replace the parchment over the pupusa and gently press down with the pie plate until 3/8-inch thick, being careful not to crack or blow out the sides.
Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
Heat a large seasoned cast iron skillet or nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add about 2 tablespoons canola oil. With a pastry brush, brush 1 side of the pupusa with remaining oil and add it, oiled side down, to the hot skillet. Cook until golden with darkening areas, about 4 to 5 minutes. Brush the exposed side with oil and gently turn over. Transfer the pupusa to a small sheet pan and keep warm in the oven. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling. Arrange the pupusas on a serving platter and serve with plain yogurt, cilantro and Curdito Slaw.
Put the cabbage and carrots into a large heat-proof bowl and toss to combine well.
In a small saucepan, over medium heat, add the white vinegar and water and bring to a boil. Pour the boiling mixture into the bowl, covering the cabbage and carrots and set aside for 3 to 5 minutes. Drain off the liquid and spin in a salad spinner or drain in a colander, pressing out as much liquid as possible.
Return the cabbage to bowl and toss with the remaining ingredients. Let set at room temperature until cool, then refrigerate for 1 hour. Serve as an accompaniment to pupusas or as a side dish. Can be made ahead or canned, if desired.

Joe Bonamassa | Greenwich Music Time | 7 July 2016
Photo credit: John Bull
Tribute shows are the stuff of sequined jumpsuits, soulless karaoke backing tapes, and slavish recreations of crowd-pleasing hits.
Joe Bonamassa clearly didn't get the memo. No contrived nostalgia cash-in, his Salute To The British Blues Explosion is a heartfelt celebration of three men whose music shaped his life: Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, and Jimmy Page.
