One of the greatest Westerns ever made..
Yes indeed!
Wow, this thread really fell. Let me hit the defibrillator with my new desktop in honor of what is now one of my absolute favorite games:
On a bit of a Chris Foss jag for desktops. This one is actually a homage to his cover for 'Grey Lensman':
My latest desktop and wallpaper. I loves me some classic Enterprise. She's a grand lady.
Bravo to both of you for the new Trek starship wallpaper. Love the Voyager desktop, and I always get gushy and melt when I see one of the classic Enterprises commanded by James Kirk.
I love the new Abrams aesthetic in the current films, but I'd be lying my ass off if I didn't say I missed the old Constitution-class designs. A lot.
Just put this one up a few days ago:
Well, that's just awesome.
Outstanding, man. Great choice.
It's hard to go too far wrong with Tobias Richter.
I wanted something sunny, and a bit more pastoral:
Nice. I like it. Soothing.
Kind of looks like a hyper realistic Bob Ross painting. I see a happy little tree and his friend.
Been up for a couple days now.
P-51 Mustang, correct? My aircraft identification has declined over the years.
Looks like a Mustang to me. The P-51D specifically, or the F-51 postwar variant used stateside for state air patrols and training?
Specifically a P-51D model, notable for the bubble canopy, which the earlier variants did not have.
Separate names with a comma.

MLB departs SoCal with week of memories
From Derby to 5K, from FanFest to Classic, ASG had it all
By Mark Newman / MLB.com
But we will remember Anaheim 2010 for so much more than that.
For example, there was David Ortiz outlasting Hanley Ramirez in the State Farm Home Run Derby, with $573,000 going to eight local chapters of the Boys & Girls Clubs of America.
There was Ryan Braun's full-out diving catch to rob Josh Hamilton with one out in the fourth and Josh Johnson's thankful reaction -- ultimately a huge play worth replaying many times. It is a time when normal league rivals are kindred spirits.
Mickey Mouse was everywhere here. There were 36 of him in larger-than-life statue likeness, positioned all around Southern California. He and Disneyland were host to part of the sixth annual Red Carpet Show presented by Chevy.
Hall of Famer Rod Carew was everywhere: He was there at the start to cut the tape for Friday's opening of the All-Star FanFest; there at the starting line to help send off runners for the All-Star Charity 5K & Fun Run; there in the lead truck as the parade grand marshal of the parade; there to throw out the ceremonial first pitch Tuesday night, and more than all of that. We love our legends.
The introduction of 30 more People All-Stars Among Us thanks to a lineup of presenting celebrities, and the moving reaction by many of the fans' winning choices as they shook hands with All-Star players at home plate in pregame festivities. The feeling when you realized that if these people can make a difference, then ...
Harsh reality intruding alongside the "Happiest Place on Earth." Waking up on two out of three mornings to glorious sunshine and spirits -- and greeted with mournful news that Yankees legends had passed away. On Sunday it was Bob Sheppard, the voice of Yankee Stadium, at age 99. On Tuesday it was his employer, legendary Yankees owner George Steinbrenner, at age 80.
Lifting spirits was the All-Star Charity 5K and Fun Run sponsored by Sports Authority and Nike, benefiting Stand Up To Cancer, Susan G. Komen for the Cure, Prostate Cancer Foundation and City of Hope. It drew a stunning field of more than 9,000 runners and raised more than $200,000 for those four charities, now a clear success as an All-Star Week fixture.
Jillian Michaels started all those runners, and supercharged them with a morning pep talk in her inimitable style. Other dignitaries were on hand, including Gabrielle Union; Hall of Famers Carew, Reggie Jackson and Paul Molitor; and past Angels legends Tim Salmon and Bobby Grich.

|Time of game
The first gathering of the All-Stars Among Us came on Monday while player interview sessions were happening, and Tigers reliever Jose Valverde from Venezuela entered the room to be the first Major Leaguer to reach out and thank them all personally. "That's something I have to do," he said after posing with them in a group photo. "It's important to me to thank people who help their community that way."
Angels prospects Hank Conger and Michael Trout wowed the crowd and led the U.S. team to a 9-1 win over the World team in the popular XM All-Star Futures Game. It is an event that always becomes a pipeline to the Majors, and you will find many of those Futures players one day at this ultimate All-Star event.
Bryce Harper, Evan Longoria, Cal Ripken Jr. and so many more people made us love FanFest even more. The Anaheim Convention Center overflowed with great interactive exhibits like that base-stealing area, video games galore, contests, vendor paradise for memorabilia collectors, and of course the All-Star shopping action.
If you weren't there, you can always get the same official gear at the MLB.com Shop. You can find an Authentic No. 16 Brian McCann road Braves Jersey with All-Star Game patch there, and his bases-clearing double is what many people will remember most about the 81st All-Star Game.
Salmon had everyone standing for a funny softball event on Sunday. After the Legends & Celebrities Game, he participated in a home run derby with Mike Piazza, and proceeded to go on a Corey Hart-like tear, crushing pitch after pitch -- and then bringing real fireworks. Next door at Disneyland, they were shooting their own nightly fireworks. This was amusement park paradise.
In the fifth inning of Tuesday's main event, Hong-Chih Kuo fielded a slow roller, wheeled and fired into right-field foul ground, allowing Evan Longoria to scamper to third and Joe Mauer to reach second. That brought up Robinson Cano, who drilled a sacrifice fly to the warning track in left, scoring Longoria and putting the AL on the board. It was memorable because it was the only run the AL would score at this year's All-Star Game.
How about Jennie Finch? She became the first woman to ever homer in the Legends & Celebrity Softball Game. And it was all about the long ball in that game. There were 12 total homers, and we got to watch Rickey Henderson do a fabulous home run trot that gets more fun the older he gets.
We'll remember all of the community work that stays as a lasting legacy for the Anaheim area. It was the Rebuild Together project on Saturday at Mary's Kitchen in Orange, Calif.
"Major League Baseball is a social institution with important social responsibilities, and I am pleased that we will make a significant difference in the lives of so many people by supporting these community projects," Commissioner Bud Selig said. "This will be one of the largest efforts in All-Star Week history, and we are grateful to our sponsors and partner organizations for their support as we give back to the community in a considerable way."
Those are the kinds of words fans will remember. Also these: "You can't live in the past." Jonathan Broxton said that after coming in for the ninth inning and saving the NL's first victory since 1996. We'll remember how he sat out there in the bullpen along with normal rival Brian Wilson of the Giants, just one of those unique scenes you see in the Midsummer Classic.
The All-Star Game comes once a year, and unlike past generations, a week makes a powerful impact and lets no one doubt that it was here. Next year it's Phoenix, then Kansas City in 2012, and no one knows beyond that other than the assurance that the greatest All-Star event of them all will always highlight our summer.

here is the guy I use, he is in Austin and the TX distributor...They just came out with the replacement cover for the Hexheads.
two styles. look under resevoir mounts in the index and page down
345-u-- replaces the cover
346-u sits on top
Steve Henson
SABMWRA MOA Club#62's Flat Fixer/ current forum moderator
It's not the breaths you take, but the moments that take your breath away-D.Dillon/G. Strait
The "reservoir mounts" from that site you listed say:
"RAM-B-345UCenter Ball Reservoir Adaptor fits cleanly over your existing reservoir cover and is a one piece design."
"RAM-B-346U Side Ball Reservoir Adaptor fits cleanly over your existing reservoir cover and is a one piece design"
Thats where I ordered mine from.
But some pics on the Ram Mount factory site look like a replacement type of mount where it REPLACES the OEM cover I wonder if they are switching production to the "over" mount in place of the "replacement" type??????
Not to disagree, but I bought from Barry at Mounting Innovations and the 345-U sits on top as well. The picture on both the RAM website and his site is horrible though as it clearly looks like it replaces the cover. Even Barry's verbiage at Mounting Innovations says it sits over the cover.
The 345-U fits over the cover and the ball is directly over the cover itself.
The 346-U fits over the cover but the ball is offset to the side...I guess maybe to get it out of the line of the mirror but not sure.
When I talked to Barry a few weeks ago, he suggested that I stick with the 345-U as it's one he had used many a time vs. the 346-U which is fairly new...
Anyway...just my 2 cents....FWIW...

This June me and my family (Wife Kim and Daughter Anna 12) are headed to Orlando for 17 days (no we don't live in Europe). We have quite a bit planned.
Spending a few days at Weekend 4 of SWW.
A 7-night Western Caribbean cruise aboard the Fantasy
7 days touring Walt Disney World
2 days touring Universal Orlando
We may also spend one of our WDW touring days volunteering at Give Kids the World Village. We are really looking forward to our time in the area. Our dining plan is to combine both on-site and off-site dining while at WDW. We enjoy the restaurants at Universal quite a bit so we'll probably eat on-site there. One place I really want to try off-site is Sweet Tomatoes at the Crossroads. We don't have any of them around here and the conept sounds like something we'd enjoy. A favorite of ours is Celebration Town Tavern. We hope to make it over there. On property will probably include Ohana, Mama Melrose, and Tusker House character breakfast. Everything else will probably be counter service or in-room meals.
We are DVC members so we are staying on points at AKV - Jambo and SSR. We are spending 1 night at Universal's Hard Rock Hotel. I purchased our airfare months ago anticipating the fuel price increases and passenger demand (thank goodness). I hope to see or bump into some of you while in O-Town.

My DH wants me to buy another mat(same size) and cut it in half to make it a longer mat. If I did that how would I put them together, glue, tape, or? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Diane

Quick question. Is anyone else annoyed by the fact that Ichigo's fighting style is extremely generic and kinda boring.
Shinkai - his Zanpaktou is always in this form, and while alot of the other Soul Reaper's Zankpatous are cool and have unique abilities, Ichigo's is just a big doofy sword.
Moveset: GetsugaTenshou
Bankai - in exchange for Zanpaktou mass and power, his spirit energy is instead focused on speed and movement. Again just a regular sword with no speical abilities. While his Bankai makes him super fast, if he's fighting an opponent with greater or equal speed he's pretty much useless (a weakness that Grimmjow exposed during their first encounter)
Moveset: If you guessed "GetsugaTenshou" then you are correct
Hollow Form - Nothing special, just added speed and strength
Moveset: Wait for it....GetsugaTenshou.
Final GetsugaTensou - Essentially the same as his previous forms but all of his attributes enhanced beyond that of a soul reaper
Moveset: Mugetsu...which essetially just a huge getsugatenshou, but this one also has the downside of taking away your powers, so yeah...
I hope this "Ichigo being a Quincy" thing means that he's gonna FINALLY learn a new move, because I'm honestly tired of seeing him move around real fast and spam the same freakin' move all the time.
If I wanted to watch a show where the main character spams the same move I'd watch DBZ
By no means am I a Bleach hater it's one of my favorite action animes/mangas. And Ichigo is my 4th favorite character behind Byakuya, Hitsugaya, and Ulquiorra..I just want to see more from him as a main character. I'm sorry for ranting on too much, how do you guys and girls feel?

Lackey will open Grapefruit League season Saturday
By Ian Browne / MLB.com
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- When the Red Sox open their Grapefruit League schedule Saturday afternoon at 1:35 ET on MLB.TV at home against the Rays, John Lackey -- who didn't throw a pitch in 2012 -- will be first out of the gate.
It is just another sign of how well Lackey has progressed from Tommy John surgery. Due to the time missed, he will pitch just one inning on Saturday and then ramp up from there.
"He'll be on a five-day rotation from there, and continue to add 15-18 pitches per outing or one additional inning," said manager John Farrell. "It starts on Saturday."
Jon Lester will make his Spring Training debut on Sunday in Jupiter against the Cardinals at 1:05 p.m. Rubby De La Rosa will also pitch in that game, as will key bullpen members Joel Hanrahan, Junichi Tazawa, Andrew Bailey and Andrew Miller.
The Red Sox will split up on Monday, with half of the squad going to Port Charlotte to face the Rays, while the other group will play in Dunedin against the Blue Jays. Both games are at 1:05 p.m.
Alfredo Aceves and Daniel Bard are among those who will face the Rays. Under the watchful eye of Tim Wakefield, knuckleballer Steven Wright will start against Toronto.
Varitek making an impact in camp
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Pedro Martinez isn't the only prominent former member of the Red Sox who is making his debut as an instructor this spring. Jason Varitek has also been a frequent presence, and the former catcher was in the trenches during several drills on Tuesday.
Varitek, who retired a year ago, is a special assistant to general manager Ben Cherington, the same title Martinez has.
"You've got two very successful players that have been leaders in their own right at their respective positions. They've achieved team success as much as anyone who have ever played the game, particularly in this uniform," said manager John Farrell. "I think they're both so respected and they're so respective of the city of Boston, the organization, that they want to give back, and they've got a great opportunity to do just that."
Of course, Varitek's emphasis in camp will be with the catchers.
"It feels good, having a guy like him that you respected growing up and then you got to play with him," said Jarrod Saltalamacchia. "It's nice having him out there, because he's a guy that I've gone to in the past, and I can still go to him. He's there, but you don't feel like he's stepping on anybody's toes."
Mortensen could create tough decision
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Sporting more bullpen depth than they've had in recent years, the Red Sox could be faced with a tough decision late in camp with Clayton Mortensen.
Last year, the righty was constantly on the shuttle going back and forth between Boston and Triple-A Pawtucket. This year, he doesn't have any more options.
Considering how effective Mortensen was when called on by the Red Sox last season, he would probably be picked up by someone if exposed to waivers.
The righty posted a 3.21 ERA in 26 games for Boston last year, pitching 42 innings.
Mortensen is one of the relievers who can offer some length out of the bullpen.
"The one thing when you look at Mortensen, his contrast of style, he's got an outstanding slider and changeup," said manager John Farrell. "He has the ability in those games where he came in down a couple runs, with that changeup, he's got the ability to slow some bats down. A little bit different delivery with some deception in there. Again, [he is] another guy that took advantage of opportunity that might have been different than what he had in the past, and [he] did a good job."

We know how bad he played most of the season, but with Shumpert's injury, would you go for it? I'm wondering if we should because of Baron's past (current?) injuries and I don't know if Bibby could play good that many minutes because I don't know if he's hurting. I'm also wondering because injuries might have effected Douglas, and if he is feeling good now, we might get some of that defense and shooting again.
I think we should if we struggle early and Bibby and/or Douglas needs the rest.

• Taking responses to the masses: A strong social media following is effective in taking your message straight to your supporters, bypassing the media.
• Coordination and consistency: Getting your legal team on the same page as your PR team can help win the courtroom of public opinion.
• Staying on point: Steadily sticking with messaging through the years.
• The big picture: A PR campaign is only as good as the evidence against it.

This checks jpeg data and metadata, should be grepped as needed, maybe a -B1 Warning for the first, and a -E "WARNING|ERROR" for the second part....
Executing pfiles will return a list of all descriptors utilized by the process
We are interested in the S_IFREG entries since they are pointing usually to files
In the line, there is the inode number of the file which we use in order to find the filename.
The only bad thing is that in order not to search from / you have to suspect where could possibly be the file.
Improvements more than welcome.
lsof was not available in my case
This is a modified version of the OP, wrapped into a bash function.
This version handles newlines and other whitespace correctly, the original has problems with the thankfully rare case of newlines in the file names.
It also allows checking an arbitrary number of directories against each other, which is nice when the directories that you think might have duplicates don't have a convenient common ancestor directory.
You can simply run "largest", and list the top 10 files/directories in ./, or you can pass two parameters, the first being the directory, the 2nd being the limit of files to display.
Best off putting this in your bashrc or bash_profile file

Soupy Black Beans
Roberto Santibanez
Rosa's New Mexican Table: Friendly Recipes for Festive Meals
Published by Workman
In Mexico, black beans are often cooked with epazote, a pungent herb with a heady aroma that is not unlike cilantro. Like mint, it grows almost everywhere—even where you don't want it to. We use it extensively: in soups, stews, bean dishes, and more. You can sometimes find fresh epazote in Latin American and Mexican markets. Never buy dried epazote—it is virtually tasteless. If you cannot find epazote, do as they do in Oaxaca, and add avocado leaves to the beans as they cook.
It would be no exaggeration to say that beans are the mortar that binds Mexican cuisine, along with rice and corn. At Rosa Mexicano we prepare all kinds of beans in various ways. After the are simply simmered, drained, and seasoned, we use them in salads, relishes, and soups. A black bean puree can be fried to a porridge consistency for frijoles chinos, which we serve together with a bowl of rice with every main course. We also cook pinto, white, and red beans in similar preparations.
Many recipes call for soaking black beans before cooking. While this reduces cooking time, I do not recommend it. Presoaking breaks down the skins, leaving them mushy, and can turn them an unappetizing gray. The beans may also develop a musty, funky flavor. If you are in a big rush, instead try good-quality canned black beans, well drained. They are not the same, but they'll do in a pinch with the right seasoning.

Put the beans, onion, garlic, and 8 cups water in a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Adjust the heat so the liquid is simmering and cook, uncovered, until the beans are softened but not tender, about 1 hour.
Cut a slit in the jalapeño and add it to the beans, along with the epazote and salt. Continue cooking until the beans are tender but not mushy, about 30 minutes. There should be enough liquid to cover the beans throughout cooking; if not, add warm water as necessary. Remove the jalapeño, check the seasoning, and serve.

The US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health report, Effects of Drugs on Sleep, states that: "Chronic use or abuse of certain drugs may lead to the development of substance-related sleep disorders. Primary sleep disorders, such as apnea, periodic movement disorders, and parasomnias, may be exacerbated by various drugs."
According to a Harvard Report on how External Factors Influence Sleep, the impact of prescription medications on sleep varies from one type to the next. For instance, beta blockers, which are commonly used to reduce blood pressure, cause decreased slow-wave sleep and in important REM sleep, while increasing sleepiness during the daytime hours. Alpha blockers, also used to reduce blood pressure and to treat some prostate conditions, also lead to decreases in REM sleep as well as boosts to daytime sleepiness. Some antidepressants, known as SSRIs, are believed to actually promote insomnia. The long-term impact of other antidepressant drugs on sleep are, as of yet, unknown.

[IMAGE 1]Tyler Fox
From: Aptos, California
Sponsors: O'Neill, Redsand, Dragon, Schroedel Surfboards
Have you ever seen those stickers that say, Where the hell is (Fill in with an obscure town)? Well Tyler Fox feels there should be some that say, Who the hell is Tyler Fox and where the hell is Aptos? Tyler's a very likable guy that's hungry to succeed as a surfer. – AC
Big Baby Checky: What do you like to do besides surf?
Tyler: I like to mountain bike a lot and I like artwork-I like to draw, paint, and stuff.
What kind of artwork do you do?
Right now at school, I'm doing acrylic paintings, sketching, and I also like ceramics-it's fun.
Do you want to be a famous artist someday?
No, I just like doing it on my sparetime-I just want to stick to surfing mainly.
Do you have anything else you like to do?
Not really I just like to keep active.
Who do you surf with Santa Cruz?
I like to surf with a lot of my friends in the Aptos area-not really well known guys. I like to surf with Noi Kaulukukui, Ryan Augustine, and Bryan Shelton-a lot of the younger east-side guys are fun to surf with-they rip. Charlie Parker too, he surfs really good.
Who are some of the guys from Santa Cruz that you look up to?
Richard Schmidt, I think he's the nicest guy and he rips still-hard. He's always been a good guy to me helping me out. I'm actually going to Europe this summer with him. It should be fun-he's a good guy.
What's the weirdest thing that's ever happened to you?
I don't know. Nothing really weird's happened to me.
What else can I ask you?
You can ask me who my favorite surfer is and that would probably be Occy.
[IMAGE 2]Why Occy?
Cause the guy's just gnarly. He made a killer comeback and he's just got insane drive. I hope that I could have that kind of drive someday and I just love the power in his surfing and his no holds barred attitude.
Do you wish you were born in Australia?
Yeah, cause maybe I could get a little more publicity just cause were I was born, none's ever heard of it. It's on the outskirts of Santa Cruz and I'm not in the main scene with everybody so it's kind of hard to get photos and publicity and stuff.
We're changing that right now.
Good, good.
Any final comments?
No not really. That's about it.
I'll say it for you, thanks mom and dad.
Yeah thanks mom and dad-you guys are the best.
There you go.

Seize Quartiers
copyright © 2004 by Nathaniel Lane Taylor
In the France of the Ancien Régime it was customary for people with noble aspirations to compile a dossier of 'seize quartiers', to prove the noble extraction of all one's sixteen great-great-grandparents. 'Sixteen quarters' sounds like an oxymoron, but 'quartiers'—in English, 'quarterings'—refers in heraldry to an inherited segment of one's ancestry, represented graphically as a quarter (or smaller portion) of one's shield—one could have a large number of such 'quarterings', depending on the national customs followed. Genealogically the term came to be used explicitly for the great-great-grandparents, and implicitly in the context of verifying their nobility. In the more egalitarian twentieth century, 'seize quartiers' came to indicate a shorthand sketch of one's immediate ancestry, as represented by the great-great-grandparents.
In the modern American context, how do we represent our ancestry? More than ever before, we are likely to be the product of migrations and intermarriages, resulting in a diverse mixture of social, religious, or ethnic groups. Many of these migrations and intermarriages happened in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, a time of social and geographic mobility on a scale hitherto unknown in human history. Yet if one goes back four generations from the present (far enough to get the 'seize quartiers'), one arrives at early or mid-nineteenth century folk who represent more stable populations, stretching back in their respective populations as far as the records will allow (if one is lucky enough to have ancestors from places where accessible records survive).
In this case, my children's 'seize quartiers' pretty well encapsulate their geographic and national-origin diversity. In every case, the people in question represent stable populations, though in their own lifetime, they or their children intermarried with other groups. So no. 7, an Irish gardener, came to New York and married no. 8, a German domestic servant. Numbers 11 and 12 were both journalists who met and married in Washington DC, though one was a Connecticut Yankee and the other a Georgia planter (though ironically the latter's patrilineal ancestry appears to be traced to a Scottish immigrant to the Hudson Valley). There are two significant intermarriages in the previous generation, as well. The mother of number 6 was from Nova Scotia, and the mother of number 10 was from Arkansas, though she came as a girl to Boston.
In the following list of 'seize quartiers', the numbers represent the quarters: add 15 to get the numbers of these individuals (nos. 16-31) in the Ahnentafel of my children.
1. Henry Barnes Taylor (1863-1926) of Kentucky, descended via Western Kentucky pioneer farmers from Richard Taylor (d. 1679), North Farnham, Richmond County, Virginia.
2. Mildred Ann Matlack (1861-1939) of Kentucky; apparently descended from the partly-Quaker Matlacks of New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
3. Georg Albert Schmitt (1862-1931), of Louisville, Kentucky. Grandson of Christian Schmitt, of Neunkirchen in the Rhineland-Palatinate.
4. Emma Wilhelmina Magdalena Schillinger (1864-1953) of Louisville. Her parents immigrated in 1854 from Kippenheim in the Grand Duchy of Baden (now Baden-Württemberg). Ancestry can be traced for up to ten generations in some lines, and includes agnate descent from Johann Adam Schillinger, of Emmendingen, Baden, who married and settled in nearby Kippenheim in 1701.
5. Benjamin Franklin Tucker (1873-1947) of Gloucester, MA. Descendant of William Tucker (d. 1666), an early settler of the Isles of Shoals; and from many, many other Essex County lines of mariners and farmers.
6. Nellie Mae Lane (1876-1935) of Gloucester, MA. Descendant of James Lane (d. 1675/6), of Malden, Massachusetts, and Westcustigo, North Yarmouth, Maine; and from many other Essex County lines. Her mother, Anne Elizabeth (Andrews) Lane, was from Guysborough, Nova Scotia; her ancestors include a relocated English loyalist, a Scots immigrant, and a Hessian pensioner.
7. Richard James Brownell (1857-1906), immigrant to New York City from Stackallan, County Meath, Ireland.
8. Martha Sophie Lembke (1868-1938) of Staten Island, New York. Her parents immigrated to Staten Island, probably from Ehrenburg, Nieder-Sachsen (near Bremen) in the 1850s.
9. William MacArthur Scott (1881-1948) of Drumclamph, near Castlederg, County Tyrone, Ireland. Immigrated to the US around 1906; lived in Spokane (Washington), Massachusetts, back in Ireland, then in Massachusetts at the end of his life.
10. Mary Lillian (or Mary Stapleton) Nye (1882-1965) of Somerville and Wellesley, Massachusetts. Descendant of Benjamin Nye, who immigrated in 1637 and settled at Sandwich (Cape Cod), Massachusetts; and from many other eastern and central Massachusetts families. Her mother, Cora Emma Stapleton, was born in Arkansas, daughter of an English immigrant father (De Vere Stapleton) and a Virginian mother (Mary Anne Williamson). Both Stapleton and Williamson have now been identified by people seeing this website and contacting me.
11. Dudley Harmon (1886-1976) of Meriden, Connecticut. Descended from John Harmon (d. 1661), early settler in Springfield, Massachusetts; and from many other Connecticut Valley families.
12. Selene Ayer Armstrong (1883-1932) of Washington, Wilkes County, Georgia. Descendant of Rev. James Armstrong, apparently born in New Hampstead, New York in 1776, but who settled in Savannah, GA; other descents in Virginia, the Carolinas, and Georgia.
13. Harry Wilfred Fitts (1876-1940) of Lowell, MA & Nashua, NH. Descendant of Robert Fitts (d. 1665), early settler in Salisbury, Massachusetts, and a host of other Maine, New Hampshire and Massachusetts families.
14. Mabel Elvira Porter (1877-1972) of Manchester, NH. Desc. of John Porter (d. 1676), early settler of Hingham, then Salem, MA; and also of many other Maine, New Hampshire and Massachusetts families.
15. Eugen Gruenewald (1879-1943) of Ditzingen, Württemberg. Immigrated to Iowa, then Indiana, around turn of century.
16. Pauline Haak (1871-1928) of Davenport, IA. Her paternal grandparents, Carsten and Lesette (Oldendorf) Haak and came to Scott County, Iowa around 1857, from the region of Elmshorn, in Shleswig just a few miles Northwest of Hamburg. Her mother's parents, Karl Kuhrdt and Maria Hagemann, immigrated from Stettin (Pomerania) around 1853.

This study is provided by ICPSR. ICPSR provides leadership and training in data access, curation, and methods of analysis for a diverse and expanding social science research community.
Survey of Holt Adoptees and Their Families, 2005 (ICPSR 4637)
Principal Investigator(s): Sacerdote, Bruce, Dartmouth College, and National Bureau of Economic Research
This study, conducted January 2004 to June 2006, was undertaken to assess the health status, educational attainment, and income of adult Korean-American adoptees and their adoptive families. The study focused on families who adopted a Korean-American child through Holt International Children's Services from 1970 to 1980. The principal investigator hoped to identify the effects of large-scale changes in family environment on children's outcomes using data on adults who were adopted in infancy. Korean-American adoptees placed through Holt International Children's Services had been quasi-randomly assigned to these families in infancy using a queuing (first-come, first-served) policy. One adoptive parent from each family was surveyed, as well as a small subset of adult adoptees, and each case represented an adopted or non-adopted child in the family. Adoptive parents were asked to give their age, sex, marital status, occupation, education level, household income, height, weight, tobacco and alcohol usage, and the number of children they had. Adoptive parents also gave information on their adopted and non-adopted children's age, sex, marital status, education level, income, weight, height, undergraduate institution, number of children, and whether their children smoked, drank alcohol, or had asthma. For adopted children, parents gave the arrival age of the child and whether the child was adopted through Holt International. Adoptive parents also indicated whether they were aware of and had used services such as workshops and referral services offered by Holt. Since the survey relied on parent reports of their adult children's outcomes, surveys were also sent to a small subset of adoptees. Their surveys included the same questions asked of their adoptive parents, as well as the adoptee's value of assets, religion, and frequency of religious attendance. The study also contained information on adoptees' birth parents obtained from Holt International's administrative records and constructed variables that analyzed household composition, population characteristics, and the education and health status of the adoptive family.

Unit of Observation: individual
Universe: The adoptive families of Korean-American children who were placed as infants by Holt International Children's Services from 1970 to 1980.
(1) The original data file was received by ICPSR in Stata format and was converted to SPSS format using the GET STATA command. For this reason, variable names were shortened to a length of eight characters. (2) Value labels for unknown codes were added in several variables. (3) To protect respondent confidentiality, employer names were removed from values in the variable OCCCURRE. (4) Values relating to the birth years of child respondents in variable YEARBIRT were transferred to variable CHILDBYE, per instructions from the principal investigator. (5) Variables GENDER through IND_TR_H contain survey responses from child respondents. (6) The formats of several variables were adjusted to fit the width of the values present in them. (7) Variables MOTHERSY, BIRTHM_A, and BIRTHM_B were converted from character to numeric. (8) According to the principal investigator, the variable WEIGHTER was the inverse of the estimated probability of response from a probit of response on parental characteristics. (9) Because of the anonymity of the mail-in surveys, 31 of the child respondents were unable to be linked with their original families. For this reason, 31 records were missing data on the child's adoptive parents and likely contain duplicate information about that child in another record. (10) According to the principal investigator, the asterisks found in the variable labels of constructed variables denote multiplication. (11) The CASEID variable was created for use with online analysis.
Sample: A mail-in survey was sent to a random sample of families who had adopted a child through Holt International's Korea program from 1970 to 1980.
Mode of Data Collection: mail questionnaire
Response Rates: There was an overall response rate of 27 percent.
Extent of Processing: ICPSR data undergo a confidentiality review and are altered when necessary to limit the risk of disclosure. ICPSR also routinely creates ready-to-go data files along with setups in the major statistical software formats as well as standard codebooks to accompany the data. In addition to these procedures, ICPSR performed the following processing steps for this data collection:

I've now put over 7000 miles on my C3 in the last 7 weeks. Best made and functioning helmet I've ever owned.

Tm Pterodactyl MT Outpost
I have had at least 3 C2's and now a C3 that is being replaced after I was knocked off by an errant cab driver making an illegal U-turn. The helmet didn't hit too hard but it did get a lot of gasoline on it.
I have an oblong, oval-shaped head that is real thin ear-to-ear. That leaves lots of space for roaring wind noises and that ugly hot-spot on the forehead. I did a lot of the named tricks and wore it for quite a while before I eventually took a ballpeen hammer to it [a rounded end small hammer]. I just kept relieving the forehead liner [the harder stuff] until it fits. I have a feeling that if that bit of relieved material ever matters in a crash then I am probably a goner anyway. The helmet is now comfortable for all day rides and I completed the MERA 10 n' 10 wearing it for up to 22hrs per day.
I use all kinds of ear plugs that help keep me sane. Howard Leight for now.

Loving my C3, rode 1072 miles yesterday on my first Iron Butt Saddlesore 1000 and took it off twice. Nice and quiet, the Bluetooth collar works great.
glad I came across this thread before I ditched my Arai Vector for one of these.. I REALLY want to upgrade to the Schuberth but I think I will insist on finding a retailer with one and try it on for a while before I buy... with the fear that it will "Break in" and get lose down the road always in the back of my mind!
As an aside, I'm still amazed that their first bike is a 1600... Is it your husband or both of you riding? That's a lot of bike for a lady with little experience.

Love my C3. Have about 3,000 miles on it now. After the initial break in period, no more mild headache. :-) Fits great, quiet, and comfortable.
However. The ventilation is not as good as I thought. I don't have a C2, but the spouse says the C2 is much better in that regard. And I'm not really impressed with the way the visor attached to the helmet. The serrated bits of plastic on one side snapped off and I had to spend $103 to replace it. I don't think the force of a 50 mph breeze on a slightly open visor should cause the attach point to break.
It concerns me as we're headed into summer and if I can't ride with the visor up on hot days, I might as well go back to wearing my Caberg.
Too damn many bikes to list
I have a new C3 (spring 2012) and had the same forehead issue. I resolved this with a rasp and it is now fine.
The bigger issue to me is that the face shield does not stay where left. I often ride with my shield open (like the wind in my face). When I get above around 35MPH the shield slams shut. I called Schuberth and they indicated that it was intended to ride closed (all the other helmets I have owned including a BMW System II were designed with a better detent on the shield holding it where it was placed), but I could try some fuzzy from a Velcro under the shield to increase pressure. I tried this and it improved, but not enough. I later removed the velcro and installed some O rings on the shield mounting posts - this has resolved the issue, but now the shield movement may be too stiff. Anyway, way to expensive a helmet to have an issue such as this.
My visor never self-closes when I'm on my RT with the giant Aeroflow windscreen, and it always self-closes when I'm on the GSA.
Get enough of the air pushed up and over the rider and the C3 visor will stay up all day long.
When I first got my C3, one of the pads pushed down on the top of my forehead, and it felt as if my left ear was being bent down by the padding. 15,000 miles later and these issues are only memories. The helmet fits perfectly. What was a tiny bit too snug for the first couple of hundred miles is now a perfect fit, with no discomfort issues at all.
Two prior helmets were Shoei - the last a Multitec - and the C3 is light years beyond the Multitech. The new Shoei Neotech looks promising, and when it's time to replace the C3 in a few years, I'll investigate the Neotech but I'll certainly be leaning towards another C3.

I have 3 hours in mine. Snug, but no hot spots, installing the Autocom mic was a breeze. The ventilation and quiet is impressive. For me, the extra under chin wind guard was just in the way, removed it, made no difference in noise or airflow.
Me like!

Bikeless! 2004-bmw-k12rs-hannigan-Sold!
I promised to report back..
I now have about 1,000 miles on it. And it's still great. Fit is perfect for me, snug with no hotspots. On my old C2's and the original Concept, I used to get some ear pain after 3-4 hours with my earplugs. None at all on the C3.
Biggest pluses to it I've found so far:
- Weight. Lighter IS better. Lots better. I don't get tired of riding as quickly.. (or at all really..)
- Wind-flow. Seems better then the C1 and C2, when I turn my head for a shoulder check, the helmet doesn't catch the wind at all, and it doesn't continue to turn a bit as the C1 and C2 did (I think windage + fit caused that.)
The dayglow seems to be catching on.. four local club members are sporting it now. It sure makes it easy to see the guy at the back of a line of riders if he's wearing the glowing-orb helmet.
Question for those who are using the Scala/Schuberth comm system.. can you hear it with earplugs in? While the C3 is lots quieter then my C2 or other helmets were, I still prefer to try to save my remaining hearing, so I always wear custom earplugs. Is the comm system usable that way?
I'm riding an R1200R with the helmet in fairly clear air.. I have several Cee-Bailey shields I swap on depending on the weather expected.
For the people expecting it to stay open at speed.. why? The "city" position (when the bottom of the shield isn't snapped into the snap-lock) works great for me unless I come to a complete stop. It's a real non-issue for me. I thought I'd miss the city-position the C1 and C2 had (where the screen popped forward), but I don't at all.

I have the BMW headset system installed, and I can hear it just fine with the earplugs in. I had to turn the volume up a bit, but that is all. If I wore it withour earplugs, I would no doubt have to turn it back down. On the BMW integrated volume I went from a volume level of 10 to 13 when the earlpugs went in. Please note, however, that I am not listening to music. GPS or intercom only.

One point that I think some people may be missing.. the helmet has an almost locked closed position.. there is a plastic catch sorta deal on the bottom of the faceshield and the top edge of the chinbar. When it's engaged it pulls the shield into the recess and seals it up quite tightly. Good for rain, or - I've found - over about 70MPH (quiets things down even more.) If you don't engage it (and it takes a concious effort on mine, pushing both faceshield tabs down) the helmet is left cracked open along the bottom edge, about 1/8" - with a smaller gap also around the two sides. At any reasonable speed that allows quite a bit of air into the helmet.
I imagine it wouldn't work that well behind a barn-door shield, but behind the somewhat smallish shield on my R12R it works just fine. I've only gotten up to around 90F on the bike with it so far (ain't NJ weather wonderful?!) so I'll report back when I exceed that. If you are behind a barn-door, I think the first click open position should hold it open just fine.. mine will stay in that position up to around 45 MPH, then it closes by itself to where the catch is keeping it slightly open.

Weatherby Vanguard S2 transformation
I am in the process of altering my .308 Weatherby Vanguard S2 and would like some feedback from the peanut gallery. The rifle is at a gunsmith now, having the barrel shortened from 24" to 21". I hunt in Western PA where the woods can be pretty dense and almost all shots are under 100 yards. It is more important to have a handy rifle than to get the last 100fps out of the cartridge.
After the rifle is returned I am considering replacing the factory synthetic stock with a laminate stock, mainly for aesthetic reasons. I am considering a stock from Boyd's with the upgraded Pachmayr recoil pad ( http://www.boydsgunstocks.com/produc...10998&cat=1223). Does anyone have experience with Boyd's laminated stocks - how are they? Is it worth it to also pop for the laser checkering? What other brands of laminated stocks would you recommend? (I am trying to avoid spending a fortune.) I will probably sand away material from the barrel channel to free-float the barrel.
I plan to pillar bed the action to the new stock. Has anyone here done a pillar job? Any pointers on the process or recommended parts?
Finally, is there a product available to apply to the exterior of my barrel and action to protect it from moisture (think of clearcoat for the rifle)? I bring this up only because I have read some articles where the author recommends rubbing car wax on the action that is covered by the stock. I know there are camo sprays that may serve this purpose, but I am happy with the finish of my rifle.

Johnson's paste wax forms an effective, but temporary barrier to moisture and water. A coat of wax on bare (white) steel will keep rust away for days, even with exposure to dew. Many years ago I used this technique in a machine shop. On a blued or black oxide surface, the wax will protect even longer.

I have the 308 in the compact with a 20" barrel and it is a fine hunting arm. I had thought of upgrading the stock and decided against it as it would not serve any purpose for me, other than different aesthetics and I concluded that it was not worth my time or money to it. I really love the rifle and I think that you will enjoy yours as well. I am not aware of any treatment will last for a long duration to prevent rust other than frequent application of something like CLP or similar.
Please post some pics when it is finished as it may entice me to upgrade mine anyway.

I'll post a pic of the rifle with the shortened barrel and factory stock in a few weeks when the gunsmith is done with the surgery. Who knows, maybe you will talk me out of popping for the laminated stock.

text: So there's this Christian pop singer cutie who's just come back from a seven-year hiatus to reveal she's gay. Unlike Ted Haggard, she's totally cool with her gayosity, so all props to her! But I wonder if the title of her new album Letting Go really means what she wants it to mean. Sweetheart, we're all very happy for you, but religion is not your friend! The hate you're about to get from those who pride themselves on how devout they are is something you just don't need. Just be proud you've found the music in you, and move on.

i have two soundcards on this desktop and am setting up linux mint mate 14.
one is the nvidia mobo soundcard
and one is an rme multiface soundcard.
after install, the nvidia card basic functions worked (i believe through pulseaudio) and the rme card did not.
i can list both cards as visible via terminal using:
Code: Select all
i visited alsa website to look to see if the rme card is supported and it is. i have located a mixer and applet for the card to allow changing settings for it.
then attempted to follow the guidelines for installing alsa on the alsa site - here: http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Module-hdsp.
i got through to the last step of making/installing and recall seeing some errors..
when i repeat the process from scratch i now am seeing many 'permission denied' messages - for unknown reasons (i am using sudo).
presently, neither soundcard is listed in the sound hardware list and no sound comes from the pc.
the alsa page speaks of /etc/modules.conf and/or similarly named files.. i only see etc/modules on my installation..
anyone know of a definitive guide for this for linux mint? why is this such a struggle!?

The Council's weekly summer-time testing of the water quality of our rivers and beaches has just finished, and will resume again in November.
Every summer the Council tests water from 13 river swimming spots and 18 beaches with results published on the Council website so people know where the water is best for swimming. Of all the testing sites in the summer of 2010-11, the consistently best water quality results were shown at Marfells Beach, Mistletoe Bay and Te Mahia.
The water monitoring summary (2010-11) has just been completed and the data will be used to grade our beaches and rivers for recreational use. That report is also on the Council website.
Our rivers can get a high bacteria load during wet weather and even beaches are affected by very heavy rainfall. Pollution from agriculture, in particular cattle, is the biggest threat to recreational water quality in Marlborough

text: The subject of TOS auxiliary control has me a bit confused. A lot of TOS deck plans I've seen (FJ's blueprints included) show an auxiliary control located in the saucer. I believe FJ labels his an "emergency bridge" and is located at the very heart of his main deck (deck 7). Unless someone can convince me otherwise, I have a hard time accepting the placement of a back-up control center in the saucer. Take, for example, "The Doomsday Machine." Spock informs that "the entire bridge is damaged and uninhabitable," but "the rest of the ship seems able to sustain life." Obviously, had the entire saucer been uninhabitable, an aux. control in that hull wouldn't have done Decker any good since he would've been forced to seek survival and control of the ship in the engineering hull. In fact, it's quite possible that the aux. control room where he was found slumped over was in the engineering hull. Hull separation would also require a back-up control center in the engineering hull. FJ must've been aware of this and includes another "main bridge-style" aux. control at the front of deck 19. (It looks like a bridge, so this must be a back-up control, right?) I suppose if only the main bridge was disabled (as in "Doomsday Machine") and there was minimal damage to the other decks in the saucer (decks still able to maintain life support), an aux. control located somewhere in the middle of that hull (such as where FJ placed his) would make sense. I just can't see having an aux. control in each hull. Seems like overkill. I'm not a big fan of FJ's TOS blueprints. There are a lot of things in his plans I don't agree with. I'm merely stating where he placed his aux. control centers. Any thoughts or perceptions about this? Would like to read other's ideas for where aux. control should be, and their reasons why. Thanks for your input!

Baker empathizes with Braves' injury woes
By Jon Cooper / Special to MLB.com
ATLANTA -- The business of Major League Baseball can be unforgiving -- at least once the game begins -- but outside the lines there is room for concern, especially when it comes to injured players, even in the opposite clubhouse.
Reds manager Dusty Baker showed his class by spending a majority of his pregame meeting with the media inquiring about the health of injured Braves outfielders Jason Heyward, who was hurt on Thursday night, and brothers B.J. and Justin Upton, who were hurt on Friday.
"They don't tell me what [the extent of an injury] is," Baker said.
Baker certainly empathizes with the plight his counterpart, Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez, is having this series. In fact, he recalled being on the wrong end of the injury bug one late July.
"I remember it happened to us in San Francisco in 2002," he said. "We lost every outfielder. We lost every one of them. We lost Barry [Bonds], we lost [Tsuyoshi] Shinjo, we lost Kenny Lofton. We lost all of them. I was wondering, 'What the heck is going on?'"
Baker got a lesson in perspective from his father during that stretch. It's a lesson he hasn't forgotten and one in which he still strongly believes.
"My dad told me don't think worse because it can get worse," he said. "I remember saying at that time, 'This can't get any worse than this.' Bam! We lose another one."
Those Giants eventually got healthy, won 95 games and advanced to the World Series before falling to the Angels in seven games.
Choo celebrates birthday by extending hitting streak
ATLANTA -- Reds centerfielder Shin-Soo Choo, who extended his hitting streak to 11 games with a single in the first inning on Saturday, doesn't call a lot of attention to himself, unless you want to talk about his play.
Fittingly, he did not go out of his way to announce that Saturday was his birthday. Teammate Todd Frazier isn't as modest and made an announcement to the team.
Choo waved his cap and joked to a group of teammates sitting on the couch, "Don't guess my age."
He's 31.
Oddly, for a guy who was born in July, Choo has seen next to no action on his birthday, as the game against the Braves was only the second time he's played on July 13. Last year was the first time in his eight-year career that he suited up on his birthday.
The big 30 wasn't exactly kind to Choo, as Cleveland lost, 1-0, in Toronto, and Choo went 0-for-4.
Choo didn't waste time making year No. 31 better, as smacked singles to center off Atlanta starter Mike Minor in each of his first two at-bats, the second driving in a run. He came into the game hitting .405 during the first 10 games of his hitting streak.
Worth noting
• Baker did not buy into a speedy return for relievers Sean Marshall or Jonathan Broxton, preferring to see them show some more progress in their rehabs.
"No, we're not close," Baker said. "Marshall has only thrown once live at hitters. We probably won't do anything until after they go out a couple of times more. See how they are, see how he does. Then we'll see."
• The defensive indifference in the ninth inning on Friday, allowing Tyler Pastornicky to take second off Aroldis Chapman, played a key role in the end of the bullpen's franchise-record streak of 32 2/3 scoreless innings, which came on a Freddie Freeman RBI single. Baker showed his own indifference to that Saturday afternoon prior to the game.
"I don't even think about that. I just don't want to give up runs when it counts," Baker said. "As long as they don't do that, they can give up runs. I'm curious how many games we won during that streak. That's the only thing that matters. You want to pitch well, but you want to win first."

text: Will the influx of the upcoming generation of Canadian basketball players to the national team make team Canada relevant? A team consisting of the likes of Andrew Nicholson, Anthony Bennett, Andrew Nicholson, Myck Kabongo, Nick Stauskas, Kelly Olynyk could be very solid in international play in a couple of years. And nothing helps a country with its sport culture as having a team capable of wining medals and competing. So do you think Canada will assemble a team that will compete for a fiba americas medal?

Pfizer Animal Health announces that EXCEDE® (ceftiofur crystalline free acid) Sterile Suspension is now approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of acute postpartum metritis in just two doses. EXCEDE continues to be backed by the Residue Free Guarantee.*
Pfizer Animal Health announces that EXCEDE® (ceftiofur crystalline free acid) Sterile Suspension is now approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of acute postpartum metritis in just two doses. EXCEDE continues to be backed by the Residue Free Guarantee.*
"The two-dose regimen of EXCEDE is an efficacious and cost-effective metritis treatment option with zero milk discard," says Doug Hammon, DVM, Ph.D., senior manager, Cattle Technical Services, Pfizer Animal Health. "I believe veterinarians and producers will find the two-dose regimen for EXCEDE to be a more convenient alternative to daily metritis treatments."
Treatment of metritis with EXCEDE consists of two doses, administered 72 hours apart at the base of opposite ears. For example, the first dose can be administered at the base of the left ear on a Friday and the second at the base of the right ear 72 hours later on the following Monday. It is the advanced, sustained-release formulation of EXCEDE that provides extended disease therapy in each dose, eliminating the need for the daily treatments typical of other metritis therapy. This can help improve protocol compliance and reduce the chances of a treatment relapse.
In multiple studies, this protocol has been demonstrated to be effective in treating acute metritis (0 to 10 days postpartum) associated with bacterial organisms susceptible to ceftiofur in lactating dairy cattle. Field research,1 conducted on 15 large dairies across the country, found that 74.3 percent of cows with acute metritis were cured after being treated with two doses of EXCEDE. This compares with only 55.3 percent of the untreated control group.
In addition to the proven performance and safety of ceftiofur against metritis, EXCEDE is backed by the Residue Free Guarantee* and offers the residue risk assurance of zero milk discard and a known meat withdrawal time of 13 days after the last dose given.
"Pfizer Animal Health continues to invest in expanding or adding label claims to allow veterinarians and producers the continued on label use of our products," Hammon says. "Scrutiny of drug residues is intensifying, making it more important than ever for producers to work with their veterinarian to ensure their metritis treatment reduces their risk of a residue violation."
Including the new label indication for the treatment of metritis, EXCEDE® is approved by the FDA for the following uses in lactating dairy cattle and dairy heifers:
To learn more about EXCEDE for the treatment of metritis, visit www.excede.com/metritis or contact your veterinarian or Pfizer Animal Health representative.
Important Safety Information: As with all drugs, the use of EXCEDE is contraindicated in animals with known allergy to ceftiofur or to the ß-lactam group (penicillins and cephalosporins) of antimicrobials. Though safe in cattle when properly administered, inadvertent intra-arterial injection is possible and fatal. EXCEDE has a pre-slaughter withdrawal time of 13 days following the last dose in cattle. Do not use in calves to be processed for veal.

Classic Country Wood Bookcases
Creating a classic cottage or farmhouse atmosphere almost always includes a selection of natural wood furniture in warm hues.

Unfinished wood bookcases are also popular in country-themed homes, both contemporary and historic.
Read More
Regardless of the color you prefer for your country bookcases, look for an overall traditional design with a rustic flair. Some country bookcases are more subtle than others, helping you create anything from a modern or transitional country décor to a very traditional or historic space.
White bookcases can also work well in country interiors, particularly off white bookcases with creamy ivory or vanilla shades. Use off white bookcases in coastal cottage home décors or pair them with other natural wood furniture for a more farmhouse ambiance.
Bookcases with doors in almost any wood finish can be an excellent addition to a country home. Most bookcases with doors, also known as barrister bookcases, already include traditional design accents like molding, knob feet or antiqued metal hardware. The rustic look of traditional wood bookcases with doors resembles certain china cabinets or buffets, only with a smaller footprint, ideal for cabins or smaller homes.

Every so often, master guitarist Esteban slips in a reference to "bro." As in, "I am so grateful, bro, just to be playing music for a living."
Whoever you are, you are Esteban's brother, and the world is Esteban's brotherhood -- he embraces a multicultural instrumental showcase that invokes what he calls a "multicultural mosaic of music."
Esteban begins a three-month run at Shimmer Cabaret at LVH at 8:30 tonight and again Friday and Jan. 3 in a show aptly titled "Music From the Heart." He plays Thursdays and Fridays over the next three months, with select Saturday performances scheduled.
His style is best described as any offering on the musical buffet, from rock to Bach, as he says. Classical, flamenco, pop, Broadway, Irish folk … nothing is out of Esteban's range.
"This is a special thing," Esteban said during a recent phone interview. "We have a four-piece band and a dancer. If we're playing a flamenco song, we'll have a flamenco dancer onstage. It's like you learn the full culture. We'll have belly dancing, Irish dancing. It'll be a different show than people are used to seeing in a casino."
The "we" is in reference to Esteban's daughter, violinist Teresa Joy. The duo sold out two nights at Cabaret Jazz at the Smith Center for the Performing Arts in September. Esteban channeled his daughter to the violin rather than the guitar because violin happens to be his favorite instrument.
"I love the violin, but I was more naturally gifted to play the guitar," Esteban says. "I started her at age 4 on the violin, and God touched her. … I love, love my kid."
Esteban says he favors "any instrument with frets," including ukulele, mandolin, sitar and banjo. His story is one of deep inner passion and good fortune. He was born with the name Stephen Paul, and after years of pestering persuaded the great Spanish classical guitarist Andres Sergovia to serve as his mentor. It was Sergovia who dubbed the young musician "Esteban," the Spanish variation of his first name.
After studying with Sergovia for five years, Esteban had blossomed into a fine classical guitarist. But his career veered unexpectedly, and almost fatally, when he was slammed head on by a drunk driver heading the wrong direction on a one-way street when Esteban was living in Phoenix. It was 1980, and the musician was 32 years old, having developed a distinctive way of playing classical guitar.
The accident damaged the nerves in Esteban's spine, left arm and left hand. The dark glasses are to protect his left eye, as the accident left him partially blind.
Esteban spent 10 years away from performing, and when he finally resumed playing (thanks to extensive acupuncture treatments), he was forced to alter the manner in which he played guitar. He became an intuitive ballad performer, investigating the playing styles of myriad cultures.
"I started branching out," he says. "I was not playing straight classical music anymore. I was making up my own songs, in my own vein."
Esteban has a vision for a career in Las Vegas that seems to stretch across the universe. He would love to be in a larger venue, of course, possibly even LVH Theater if the Shimmer gig works out. "I want to bridge all the gaps and show people something they have never seen before."
Sounds like a really cool thing, bro. Really cool.

I've been thinking - the apt-get feature for Linux is really nice as it updates all your programs on your machine. If there was a way to do this on Windows, that would be really cool.
So I've been thinking - you know when you right-click on an application and there's a summary tab which lists information like the Title, Subject, Author, etc.? What if Microsoft added a field which pointed to a spot on the Internet where the most recent version could be downloaded - either an actual file or a "database" file containing a list of files? So that way, developers could copy their most up-to-date version to a specific location (with the same name each time), or just list all versions in the "database".
I did notice the "Source" field - maybe something like this already exists.
But what do you guys think about this?

GMC Savana Trekker Meets Needs of Outdoor Enthusiasts
Merging the people- and cargo-carrying capability of a van with the go-anywhere ability of an SUV, the Savana Trekker breaks new ground as a sport-utility van. The Trekker provides adventure seekers full-size comfort and space, combined with an all-wheel drive system that provides superior handling with sure-footed traction and security.
On the Trekker's roof-mounted viewing platform, you'll be heads above the rest at outdoor events. And when on the move, your extra gear can be securely stored on top of the platform or inside with the modular tiered storage system.
The innovative left-hand door provides easy access for all passengers to the many amenities and comforts found on the Trekker.
Seven passenger leather seating provides living-room style comfort, enhanced by features such as a first-class video entertainment and Bose sound system. In addition to all-wheel-drive capability, the Trekker adds features such as a roof rack/observation platform, modular interior storage and Dual Port System accessory and trailering hitch system.
"Savana Trekker is at home in both the city and the country," said Mike Johnson, Savana's assistant brand manager, marketing. "Outdoor-minded customers will appreciate its ability to comfortably transport passengers while carrying all the gear they need to enjoy their favorite activities."
Getting to the destination is no problem. A GPS system helps plot the route, and the all-wheel-drive system helps handle a range of road and weather conditions. The all-wheel-drive system in Savana Trekker operates in rear-wheel drive until the system senses rear-wheel slippage. When that occurs, it transfers torque to the front axle to help regain traction.
A modular roof rack with exterior lighting not only can carry cargo, but can be configured to serve as a platform for watching anything from birds to a NASCAR race. A retractable ladder that fits in the platform provides access to the roof platform, and side rails flip up to form walls. The platform can hold four people and chairs.
To run power tools or camping gear, the Savana Trekker is outfitted with an Aura Systems generator that provides both 120-volt and 240-volt power.
Interior storage includes two overhead, "airline style" lockable long storage bins that make efficient use of space without compromising passenger comfort. For trailering, the Trekker is equipped with a Dual Port System that offers a traditional towing option, along with the ability to add accessories such as a bike rack or a cargo platform.
The Savana Trekker looks as good as it performs, with a refined yet rugged appearance. Brushed nickel accents highlight the grille, and halogen fog lamps are integrated into the front fascia. Windows carry a deep tint, and the van's "Heather Mist" metallic exterior paint styled by Nippon Paint - Color Design Studio of America is carried over to door handles, body side moldings and rear bumper for a monochromatic look.
Getting inside the Savana Trekker is simple and quick due to the left hand, 60/40 door. Once inside, passengers travel comfortably on leather seats with fitted slip-on Codura seat covers.
