Here are a couple of pictures of the bar stools in my house. I would like to thank you for all the help you have given me. It has been a pleasure buying furniture from Misty Mountain. I have purchased a lot of furniture over the years and have found it difficult to find furniture that is built with quality and attractive at the same time. Since I never saw your bar stools in person, I had to rely on the Misty Mountain website and my conversations with you to make my decision to purchase the two bar stools. They really exceeded my expectations. I couldn't be happier about my decision to buy these stools. They will certainly last a lifetime while continuing to maintain a handsome appearance while they age. I will certainly look forward to talking with you in the future for more pieces from Misty Mountain.
Thanks again,
Ray Leavitt

Harry Duane would have loved every minute of it.
The late giant in the Vineyard Haven sailing community was certainly present in spirit for the 35th running of the annual George Moffett Race last Saturday, when a robust fleet of sailboats turned out in weather that was even more robust to race in a 20-mile course from East Chop to Falmouth to Oak Bluffs to Edgartown and back. In the end, all agreed — it was a memorable day of sailing in nearly every way.
The Holmes Hole Sailing Association sponsors the race, which this year was dedicated to Mr. Duane, a founder and principal proponent of the Moffett Race and two-time winner of the event in his Soling, Andiamo II. Mr. Duane died on June 19 at age 80 following a long illness. He was remembered at a memorial service sponsored by the sailing association on Sept. 6 at the Vineyard Haven Yacht Club, where he was a revered longtime member.
The Moffett race took place two days later on Saturday, Sept. 8. The race is named for one of the founders of the Holmes Hole Sailing Association, George Moffett, a veteran sailor who campaigned his yacht Guinevere for many years, including victories in the Bermuda and SORC Races. He donated Felix Neck Wildlife Sanctuary to the Island.
Forty-eight boats registered for this year's event and 40 came to the line near East Chop in Vineyard Haven harbor. The fleet was divided into two groups with the slower boats starting at 11:20 a.m. and the faster boats at 11:30 a.m. It was a beautiful, sunny late summer day with a robust, near gale-force southeast wind of 20 to 30 knots. The race committee, in the Vineyard Haven Yacht Club boat Vigilant, selected a challenging 19.4-mile course, accounting for the predominant east setting current.
The course took the fleet from the East Chop start north to buoy RG at Hedge Fence Shoal, then northwest to Red Bell 16 at Falmouth harbor, then southeast to Green Bell 23 at Oak Bluffs, then east to Red Bell 2 at Edgartown, then north to Red Bell 22, then west back to green bell 23, then southwest to the finish line. The nine-plus miles from Falmouth to Edgartown was a challenging beat to windward into big seas built by the opposing wind and current.
After the race, the sailors convened at the Vineyard Haven Yacht Club, which, at the direction of Sally Culkin, generously hosted a reception for the grateful skippers and crews, who were treated to chowder, refreshments and race results. Twenty-four boats finished the race. Commodore Dan Culkin and race scorer Roger Becker commended those that elected to bail out in the challenging conditions for their judgment and seamanship.
Call it divine intervention, karma, poetic justice, or anything else you might choose, on corrected time, the winner of the Moffett Cup Trophy was Harry's boat, Andiamo II, skippered by his grandson Jared Hammond, with Harry's son Paul and grandson Nick as crew. It is the only boat to have won the race three times. Wow!
Second place went to Peter Cassidy in the S&S sloop Siren. Third was Scott DiBiaso in the Gannon and Benjamin-built schooner Juno. Fourth was past winner Jerry Goodale in his Pearson 31 Stormalong. Fifth was Steve Besse in the J-120 Apres, a past winner. Sixth was Brian Roberts in his S&S sloop Aileen. Seventh was Andy Berry in the Cal 33 Isobar. Eighth was Phil Hale in the Shields Wicked. Ninth was past winner and Holmes Hole commodore Dan Culkin in the Vineyard vixen Magic Time. Tenth was Doug Heil in the J-24 Pearly Baker. Remaining results follow:
Placing 11th was Ged Delaney, past winner in Ardent; 12, Bill Schillhammer in Stormdancer; 13, Irving Gates in King Kiwi; 14, Ernie Mendenhall and Kathy Logue in Rocinante III, past winner; 15, Roger Merrill in Deneb; 16, H. Cammann in Sakie; 17, Matt Thomas in Grasshopper; 18, Stuart Halpert in Providence; 19, Peter Goodale in Stormalong II; 20, David Lott in Avanti; 21, Peter Wells in September; 22, Tom and Laurie Welch in Eastaway; 23, Frank Desimone in Lagoonah; 24, David Mcdonough in Trinity. A grand tribute to our dearly departed skipper and fleet captain, Harry B. Duane.

Fake paperwork is clearly unacceptable, of course. "Shell" companies get more subtle since there are benign scenarios that produce the same appearance. As for "IP allocation", that does not describe an abuse, nevermind make clear how it is obviously unacceptable without inviting its own abuse. But note that Richard's note contained none of these particulars. For discussions about policy changes by organizations with massive potential power, the calls for change need to be rather precise, IMO.

This story is adapted from a broadcast audio segment; use audio player to listen to story in its entirety.
Story by Alex Gallafent, PRI's "The World"
The standard view of Japanese popular culture, at least here in the United States, is that it's wacky, chaotic and impossible to fathom. That's the first reaction you might get from a video currently doing the rounds online. It features actors dressed up as traditional Japanese peasants performing some sort of story to the accompaniment of American jazz standards, which they sing to, with Japanese lyrics.
The video is titled, "Japanese Jazz Opera," and begins with "Now's The Time," by Charlie Parker. An old peasant couple sings along with the standard, in Japanese.
The setting is a kind of studio version of an olden-days Japanese village. The people are actors who seem to be in some kind of elaborate comedy skit; but before you have a chance to consider what might be going on, they move on to Miles Davis.
Superficially the video, which runs to about ten minutes, is just spectacularly odd. But still, what IS it?
Roland Kelts is the author of "Japan America." He splits his time between Tokyo and the US, and it didn't take him long to recognize the actor playing the part of the old peasant woman -- a middle-aged man in sunglasses.
"In Japan, this guy Tamori, the comedian behind this video ... he's ubiquitous," said Kelts.
So it's a skit starring one of Japan's biggest celebrities.
And the video clip, Kelts says, comes from Tamori's nightly variety show, an edition from March 1986. It was called 'What a Great Night.' Kelts recognizes the subject of the skit too. Turns out it's a take on "Momotaro," or "The Peach Boy" -- one of the all-time classic Japanese fairy tales.
"[The skit] hews quite close to the narrative, but everything is done tongue-in-cheek," explains Kelts.
The first part of the story goes like this: There's a poor old couple who are unable to have kids. One day, a giant peach floats down the river to their village. The old couple take the peach home and try to eat it. But when they cut it open, they find a boy inside.
In Tamori's version, this is where they sing Thelonius Monk's "Misterioso."
So now we've got a Japanese TV variety show from the 1980s doing a tongue-in-cheek version of a classic fairy tale. But why the jazz?
It starts to make a bit more sense, says Roland Kelts, when you know that Tamori -- the comedian -- was born in August 1945. That makes him the archetypal post-war boomer.
"That generation grew up idolizing America pop culture," said Kelts. "They read American novels, they listened to America jazz, they watched American TV. So knowing those specific numbers and who created them, who composed them would be a point of pride."
And Kelts thinks that back in the 80s, that self-aware sophistication -- knowing relatively obscure jazz tunes like Bill Evans' "Waltz for Debby" -- fit into a broader sense of Japan's place in the world. Tamori's TV show took full advantage.
It was a time when Japan's economy was expanding, says Kelts, and the show was perceived as symbolizing how far Japan had come.
Here's how the story ends: The Peach Boy grows up. And, along with some animal friends, he travels across the ocean -- to the Herbie Hancock tune, "Maiden Voyage."
The Peach Boy arrives at the island of the ogres, who have been stealing from villagers. In Tamori's skit, the chief ogre is painted red from head to toe, wears glasses and sings the bebop tune, "Donna Lee."
In the end, the Peach Boy defeats the ogres and returns home with a load of treasure. In Japan it's about as well-known a story as you can get.
But Roland Kelts says for younger Japanese today, the only thing they'd understand would be the story. Today their focus is domestic not international, and that goes for music and other things.
"It's a symbol or a sign of how pessimistic younger Japanese feel," said Kelts. "Tamori's generation, they were looking to a Japan that continued to grow, and the growth seemed endless. Your real estate holding would grow in value, forever. Some people said back then we'd all work for a Japanese company. It seems absurd now."
So does the video when you first watch it, but it turns out to be much more than anonymous Japanese TV comedians singing jazz tunes in peasant costumes. It's really a historical document of a Japanese attitude, one that's slipping away.
And maybe the United States can relate to that feeling of something being lost: That carefree sense of being on top of the world.

VANCOUVER - The Mexican government is "quite angry" after one of its citizens died last month while in the custody of the Canada Border Services Agency, the country's consul general in Vancouver said Friday.
Claudia Franco said her government is also calling for a thorough investigation into the tragedy.
Lucia Vega Jimenez, 42, was found hanging in a shower stall in a holding cell at Vancouver's airport on Dec. 20, and died in hospital a week later.
During an interview, Franco said her government was informed of the suicide attempt the same day, one day before Vega Jimenez was to be deported from Canada.
"Any death concerning a Mexican national is a big issue," said Franco. "Protection services are constant, and of course our full attention is to any case involving Mexican nationals. This is one of those cases."
Franco said she has formally asked the border agency for information on the circumstances of the death, and the consulate has contacted the BC Coroners Service.
"We are quite angry about what happened. We expect the authorities to conduct an impartial investigation."
She said the Mexican government will be following the case very closely and hopes to have the results as soon as possible.
"I think these were very unfortunate events," she said. "Our first concern is with the family, of course, and we hope that the facts surrounding her attempted suicide will be cleared as soon as possible."
Roslyn MacVicar, regional director general for the border-services agency, issued a statement Friday, offering her deepest condolences to the family.
"As the BC Coroners Service investigation is ongoing, I am not in a position to provide specific details of the incident," she added.
"I can tell you that the CBSA continues to co-operate and provide information to the BC Coroners Service. The agency fully complied with the RCMP's investigation which has since been closed."
She also said that allegations that the agency attempted to conceal information are false.
MacVicar said the agency alerted first responders and the RCMP immediately, and notified other independent organizations including the consulate in Vancouver.
She said the agency never requested a confidentiality agreement from the family.
MacVicar also provided details of the detention centre.
"The British Columbia Immigration Holding Centre is a small CBSA facility, located inside the Vancouver International Airport," she said. "The centre can accommodate up to 24 low-risk detainees for a maximum period of 72 hours. Our facilities are regularly monitored by independent organizations."
She said people in custody at the agency's immigration holding centres or in corrections facilities are provided with access to legal counsel, medical personnel, interpreters and telephones.
Vega Jimenez was taken into custody at Vancouver International Airport last month, but news of her death only surfaced in the media earlier this week.
Pierre Fortin, national president of Customs and Immigration Union, said during an interview earlier this week, that while Vega Jimenez was in the custody of CBSA, she was detained by a sub-contracted security company.
Coroner Barb McLintock also said Vega Jimenez was in custody at "a different facility" before being taken to the holding area at Vancouver International Airport.
Vega Jimenez was a migrant who had been working at a Vancouver hotel when she was arrested last month over an unpaid transit ticket, said the group No One is Illegal.
She was transferred to jail and then sent to the CBSA holding cells to await deportation.
The BC Civil Liberties Association and No One Is Illegal are calling for an independent civilian inquiry.
White sage burned and candles flickered during a moment of silence for Vega Jimenez in downtown Vancouver and outside the border services agency office Friday evening.
Dozens of people gathered for the event, with more well-wishers joining the ranks as the evening progressed.
Some held placards with messages like "No One is Illegal. Canada is Illegal," and "Fight 4 Migrant Justice."
"We are here to honour the life of Lucia and to also call for an immediate, full and transparent inquest and investigation into the death," said Harsha Walia of No One is Illegal, before the vigil.
"There's a lot of questions that remain unanswered."

SD Auto Museum has a cool new exhibit... Steampunk! and the vehicles are far out!
The Steampunk exhibit at the San Diego Automotive Museum is a clear step away from its traditional programming. In keeping with its mission to illustrate the impact of the automobile on our society, this exhibit expands the parameters and brings to life the impact that steam engines and steam technology have affected the new culture known as Steampunk. For the first time ever, the museum is incorporating clothing, gadgets, and gizmos that are not directly related to the automobile. The focus of the exhibit is innovation, and non-traditional vehicles will be presented with classic examples of early automotive engineering and design.
of course I am going to get in there with my camera and get a good photo gallery posted, when I can get there, on a weekend.
But don't wait for me, it's happening in Balboa Park, San Diego, the Auto Museum, http://www.thesteampunkempire.com/events/steampunk-the-exhibit-san-diego-ca
and on July 13th they are going to have a reception
and if you like Steampunk, here is a website with events listed all over the USA http://www.thesteampunkempire.com/events
I've posted some cool steam punk, and similar vintage mechanical wonders before: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/search/label/steampunk but for a wonderful website devoted to it: http://p-d-m.livejournal.com/

A young crater that's about nine miles (15 km) across scars the surface of Vesta, one of the largest asteroids, in this view from the Dawn spacecraft. Large boulders that were blasted out by the impact that created the crater are scattered around its rim. Dawn will depart Vesta in early September and head toward the largest asteroid, Ceres, with arrival in early 2015. [NASA/JPL/UCLA/MPS/DLR/IDA]
You are here
Dawn II
Vesta is one of the largest asteroids — a layered ball of rock and metal more than 300 miles in diameter. It's also something of a scientific conundrum, notes Carol Raymond, a scientist with a mission called Dawn.
RAYMOND: We've had pieces of Vesta under study in the laboratory for decades, but are now only getting out to know the parent body.
For decades, scientists have suspected that several groups of meteorites came from Vesta — blasted from Vesta's surface when it was hit by another asteroid. The composition of the meteorites seemed to match what astronomers could see of Vesta through telescopes. Until Dawn entered orbit around Vesta last year, though, there was little way to confirm that idea.
But Dawn's observations strongly support it. In fact, they've even narrowed down the likely site of the impact that chipped off the meteorites — a large basin at the asteroid's south pole. The energy of the impact caused the asteroid's crust to rebound, building a mountain that towers 13 miles above the basin floor.
The combination of the meteorites and Dawn's observations will help scientists better understand Vesta's composition, structure, and history. And since Vesta is one of the oldest surviving "leftovers" from the formation of the planets, the combination will also provide new insights into the process that gave birth to the planets — including our own Earth.
Dawn's time at Vesta is almost up, though; more about that tomorrow.

Nation & World
As China cracks down on dissent, activists press U.S. to raise issue
With Secretary of State John Kerry and other U.S. officials in the midst of two days of meetings with their Chinese counterparts, human rights activists are urging them to elevate a topic that President Xi Jinping would rather dodge: his government's increasingly harsh treatment of critics and civic activists.
Since Xi assumed his post last year, China has stepped up detentions and imprisonments of prominent lawyers, religious leaders, advocates for ethnic groups and those seeking to remember the 25th anniversary of Tiananmen Square last month.
On Wednesday, a leading Tibetan writer, Tsering Woeser, said she'd been put under house arrest after being invited to visit the U.S. Embassy in Beijing, presumably to join a function with Kerry.
Sophie Richardson, the China director for the advocacy group Human Rights Watch, said it was difficult to know whether the Chinese president was directing such police actions or was delegating decisions to hard-liners. Regardless, she said, "the scope and scale of detentions and arrests, and the kind of behavior that is now considered problematic, bodes very badly for Xi's tenure. . . . There used to be more clarity on where the red lines were drawn."
Kerry and other top U.S. officials, including Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew, are in Beijing for an annual get-together with the Chinese hierarchy known as the Strategic Economic Dialogue. The gathering results in face-to-face meetings with officials from both countries, including those with expertise in energy, public health, environment, banking, trade, economic development, national security and international relations.
In advance of the dialogue, Beijing and the White House have tried to rebut the conventional criticism of their strained relationship: that China sees the United States as a declining power and that the Obama administration, for its part, is intent on "containing" China's rise.
In an opening speech Wednesday, Xi said the two countries had common interests that outweighed their differences, including the need to work together on a trade agreement, counterterrorism, climate change and other issues of mutual concern. "The foundation of Sino-U.S. friendship lies in the people, and our hope in youth," Xi was quoted as saying by China's state-run media.
Kerry said Wednesday, "We are convinced that the United States and China do not have to be rivals, but can be partners and find things to cooperate on that are important to the security of the region."
Despite such comments, the U.S.-China relationship remains tense, stoked by China's territorial ambitions in the East and South China seas and by the White House's decision to indict Chinese military officials on charges of hacking U.S. corporate secrets.
China has seized on the indictments to accuse the United States of cyber-hypocrisy, propaganda aided this week by claims that Washington had hired a German intelligence employee to spy on the government of Chancellor Angela Merkel.
Visiting Beijing on Monday, Merkel was asked about accusations that the U.S. had lured a German citizen to spy against his own country. "If the allegations are true, it would be a clear contradiction as to what I consider to be trusting cooperation between agencies and partners, " she said at a Beijing news conference, presumably to the delight of her Chinese hosts.
Given the state of relations between the United States and China, some diplomats see little to be gained by pressing issues of human rights. Richardson disagrees, saying a strong message could be sent at these meetings if individual U.S. agencies were to press human rights concerns that related to their own particular priorities.
U.S. public health agencies, she said, have a vested interest in ensuring that outbreaks of bird flu or other infectious diseases in China are quickly and fully disclosed to the public. "Part of the reason that there are health scares in China is because the Chinese press is not allowed to report on them," she said.
U.S. security agencies, she said, could enter into a dialogue with their counterparts about how to counter terrorist cells in western China's Xinjiang region, without cracking down so indiscriminately that they draw new converts to radical Islamism.
"This is a chance for the United States to raise the issue of human rights across several levels," Richardson said in a telephone interview. "We urge agencies that normally don't raise these issues to raise them."
Human rights groups have kept a running tally of China's recent actions against dissidents. As of June 3, Amnesty International had reported that some 66 Chinese had been detained or arrested as part of a government campaign to suppress any memory of China's assault on protesters in Tiananmen Square 25 years ago.
Earlier this year, a Chinese court sentenced Xu Zhiyong, a lawyer and leader of the New Citizens Movement, to four years in prison after he campaigned for greater disclosure of the wealth of Communist Party leaders.
This month, a court in Henan province sentenced a Christian pastor, Zhang Shaojie, to an even harsher sentence _ 12 years _ for alleged fraud and "gathering a crowd to disrupt social order." Zhang had been active in pushing the government to resolve disputes involving his parishioners, many of whom are desperately poor.
China has also come under fire for its policies in Hong Kong, long a bastion of relatively free trade in China. Pro-democracy activists say Beijing is attempting to rig which candidates will be on the ballot this year for Hong Kong's first direct election for chief executive. In an issue brief this week, the Heritage Foundation urged the United States to exert pressure, saying it could "formally condemn Chinese behavior and highlight the prospects that Beijing intends to renege on its promises to Hong Kong."
A spokesman for the U.S. Embassy in Beijing said he couldn't comment on reports that Woeser, the Tibetan writer and activist, had been invited to the embassy and was later put under house arrest.
Woeser, on her Facebook page, said she'd returned from Inner Mongolia to Beijing at 6 p.m. Tuesday. An hour later, police arrived and told her not leave her house.
"I asked for the reason and they said that it was confidential," she wrote on her Facebook page, in an English translation she attributed to U.S. scholar Elliot Sperling. "But I know that it's because the day before yesterday an American Embassy official had called me on my mobile phone and invited me this evening to the embassy residence."
Just a few days earlier, Sperling, a professor of central Eurasian studies at Indiana University, Bloomington, was denied entry to Beijing after previously receiving a Chinese visa in the United States. Sperling said he thought he was turned back because of his association with a Uighur scholar from Xinjiang, Ilham Tohti, who'd been arrested and charged by China's government with "separatism."
Richardson said China was hurting its own interests by arresting and harassing individuals such as Tohti and Woeser, who she said sought to ease tensions between China's ethnic groups and the Han majority.
"These are rare public intellectuals who, at enormous risks to themselves and their families, are trying hard to bridge divides in China," she said.

Institute for Combustion Science
Circulating Fluidized Bed Combustion System (CFBC)
Click here to watch WBKO report on ICSET wku heating
The Combustion Laboratory at Western Kentucky University (WKU) has been awarded a two million dollar grant from the U.S. Department of Energy for their project "Establishment of an Environmental Control Technology Laboratory with a Circulating Fluidized Bed Combustion System." The grant was awarded in open competition throughout the U.S. under the Broad-based Agency Solicitation Program (Solicitation No. DE-PS26-02NT41613). This is the largest competitive grant ever received by Ogden College. The grant award was made through the Combustion Technology University Alliance (CTUA), a program at the National Energy Technology Laboratory in Pittsburgh. Approximately 20 universities (almost all PhD granting institutions) and 15 companies make up the CTUA. This applied research program was started to help coal-fired power plants deal with current problems of operation and help develop strategies to meet environmental requirements. Senator Mitch McConnell was instrumental in getting Congress to appropriate the funds to establish the CTUA.
The primary objective of this project is to establish an Environmental Control Technology Laboratory (ECTL) using a multifunctional circulating fluidized bed combustion (CFBC) system. The system can be easily configured to make combustion runs with various fuels under varying conditions to analyze and monitor air pollutant emissions, as requested by the lab's industrial partners. The ECTL will help develop technologies that can be used to control emissions under multi-pollutant control legislation that is under consideration by Congress. The successful development of these technologies will provide scientific data on atmospheric pollutants resulting from combustion systems, and the methodologies required to reduce the emission of these pollutants across the United States. This grant award comes as a result of cooperative efforts between the Department of Chemistry and the Department of Architecture & Manufacturing Science through the Applied Research and Technology Program.
Other research projects, such as "Development of a Method for Measuring Carbon Balance in the Chemical Sequestration of CO2", "Development for Clean Coal Technology-Horizontal Swirling Fluidized Bed Boiler", "Application of a Circulating Fluidized Bed Process for the Chemical Looping Combustion of Solid Fuels" and "Maximizing Co-Benefits from Multi-Utilization of Chicken Waste" are also conducted in this laboratory.

Clive Crook, columnist for the Financial Times, urges President Obama to "betray" his base, and lead from the "centre." Brits offering political strategy for American presidents are a bit like Americans telling Italians how to improve their pasta. And Crook's analysis is as divorced from U.S. realities as his spelling. But it represents what will be a cacophony of similar cant and is worth dissecting.
Crook argues that Obama's economic policies have been good enough; it's his politics that have proved ruinous. The reason? Obama catered to his progressive base instead of governing from the center.
Really? This doesn't survive even a cursory glance.
Crook suggests that the telling choices of Obama's first months were the stimulus and health care reform. Not one word on the critical policy that has most bloodied the administration: the decision to rescue the big banks without reforming them or at least forcing a few heads to roll. Anyone remotely connected to this political season knows that voters are understandably livid that Wall Street is back to million-dollar bonuses while Main Street is still looking for work.
Then Crook argues that Obama would have been better off espousing tax cuts as part of the stimulus plan rather than ignoring them before accepting tax cuts forced on him by a handful of conservative senators. Ah, Clive, you should visit more often. You apparently missed the fact that Obama's original stimulus plan included tax cuts for all Americans, which the president made a centerpiece of his pitch. What was added was largely the utterly egregious and wrong-headed lard, particularly the "fix" for the alternative minimum tax which the Congress passes every year—and which had nothing to do with stimulating the economy, since it is largely a benefit to affluent taxpayers who expect it in any case.
Then Crook suggests that president would have been better off denouncing the public option in health care reform, rather than espousing it until forced to abandon it. The fog must be thick over there in London, since, as polls show, the health care plan is unpopular more because it didn't go far enough than because it went too far. People are understandably worried that their health care bills are going to go up because the insurance companies made out like bandits. The public option polled better than the entire reform throughout the debate. And, in fact, the president actually took Crook's advice, stiffing "his base" by demanding taxes on comprehensive health care plans aimed directly at union health care benefits. That proved particularly ruinous in the Massachusetts Senate race, as union workers stayed home in large numbers while a majority voted for Republican Scott Brown.
Finally, Crook suggests the president should have embraced extension of all the Bush tax cuts rather than arguing for extending them to everyone on the first $250,000 they earn, but not extending the extra break for earnings over $250,000. In fact, drawing the line on the taxes was one of the few stances that made sense to voters. (Despite that, suicidal Senate Democrats abandoned even having a debate on the issue.)
Crook's column is part of what will be a drumbeat of conservative commentary arguing that Obama went wrong by doing too much, governing from the left, catering to the Democratic base. The argument, sustained in the face of contrary reality and contrary polls, will be accompanied by advice for the president to "move to the center" and stiff-arm ("betray" in Crook's term) his base. This simply is nonsense.
The reality is that the administration and Democrats have suffered from being too timid, not too bold. The bailout of the banks was ruinous politically and left concentrated zombie banks an obstacle to reviving the economy. The stimulus was too small, not too large, and too compromised with ineffective tax cuts. The sellouts in the health care bill—on negotiating bulk discounts from prescription drugs, on the public option, on taxing "Cadillac plans," on preserving insurance company oligopolies—were bad politics and bad policy. The fact that the president abandoned his argument about building a new foundation for the economy to embrace premature deficit reduction only left voters stupefied about whether he had any theory for economic recovery at all.
And betraying the base? Maybe it isn't clear in London, but the entirety of Obama's base—the young, minorities, union members, environmentalists, LGBT activists and more—feel badly served by an administration that visibly holds them in low regard. And their disaffection has contributed directly to the "enthusiasm gap" that must be reversed if Democratic majorities are to survive in the November elections.
Crook's bad analysis may have more to do with his ideology than his nationality. He hails the new Tory-led coalition as governing from the "centre" with its drastic austerity plans. From across the ocean, I won't comment, but let's see just how well that works out for the country and the coalition.

Columbia University says it spends $450 a week on Nutella at its dining halls, after a report that students went nuts when it began offering the hazelnut chocolate spread and caused the budget to skyrocket to $5,000 a week.
Columbia said in a statement that "it is true that in the first 3-4 days after Nutella was recently added to the dining hall selections, demand was indeed extraordinarily high, with students enjoying a large amount that initial short period."
But the cost, the school insists, was about $2,500, and soon stabilized to $450 per week.
The Columbia Spectator first reported that administrators suspected the high demand for the treat was because undergrads were taking extra amounts back to their dorms.
"The demand [for Nutella] has been greater than originally expected," the executive director of Dining Services, Vicki Dunn, told students in an email, according to the paper. "Students have been filling cups of Nutella to-go in Ferris Booth Commons and taking the full jars out of John Jay, which means we're going through product faster than anticipated."

Hi Folks. This subject has been discussed before but has been buried in the back log of threads. Rather than dig up the old thread I thought it would be a good idea to start a new one dedicated to " Enhanced Road Visibility". This can include front lights, rear lights, side lights, reflective clothing or reflective material on the bike. Feel free to add any idea that would enhance visibility for road riding at night.
I'm really trying to get people to communicate their ideas on "What works best on the road" and "What makes the most sense" when riding on the road at night. However if you have an idea that will make day time road riding safer please feel free to comment.
If you can contribute photos ( or videos ) of your set-up that would be a Super Plus!
I will do so myself once I get the stuff I expect to get for Christmas.
In the mean time I'll get the ball rolling:
The other day as I was driving through downtown Baltimore ( at night ) I noticed a cyclist that was riding along in the mist of the heavy traffic. I couldn't help noticing him actually because he had a very good set-up. What I took notice of was two rear red lights ( one on the seat post and one on the outer chain stay ) and two bright front lights ( one on the bars and one on a fork leg ). He also was using the wide reflective tape on a jacket that was also very noticeable. As I passed him I marveled at how well I was able to see him.
I was so impressed that I decided to pull off the road just ahead of him so I could see what he looked like coming down the road from the front. To my surprise I almost couldn't pick him out in all the on-coming traffic. When he got a couple hundred feet away I finally did see him. Wow, even with two front ( steady ) bright lights it was hard to pick him out in the array of on-coming car headlights ( and I was looking for him! )
This has caused me to reflect. While the two front lamps ( spaced widely apart ) enhanced his visibility, his lamps still didn't stand out enough from all the lights that were around him. This got me thinking on how I could change that. The answer to me was clear. Make one of the lights a strobe or flash. Since cars or trucks don't use front strobes this should make one really stand out in heavy traffic to cars that are either approaching or coming out of a side street or parking lot.
Since I have lots of lights that strobe I have been experimenting with this concept. I've mounted my mini-strobe ( Axiom ) on a lower fork leg. I am really impressed at how much more visible this set-up is. Before I use to mount the mini next to my main light and for the most part it was drowned out by the output of the bright main lamp. Having the mini mounted on the fork really makes the bike stand out. Now all I have to do is find a mini light ( red ) that is adjustable and will mount on the rear chain stay. I'll have to check to see what the LBS's have. ( suggestions from others are welcome )

Welcome to The Music Farm! Let us help you Grow Your Passion!
You have no items in your shopping cart.
Starting as the janitor/sound guy for my local church at the age of fourteen, music has always been a part of me. I went to school for music production, worked in music retail for thirteen years, became a "Jack of all trades" or so to say, and fell in love with the music biz. After several trials and tribulations, I had moved on to starting my own online music store. The Music Farm was founded in 2004, and I couldn't be more blessed to have a crew like the one you see here. From our family to yours, thank you for allowing us to help you Grow Your Passion. In the spirit of Ted Nugent, "God, guns, and rock & roll!"
I'm Jason a.k.a. KOOK. I play guitar to accommodate my true passion of singing. Seattle music is where my heart lies. I specialize in acoustic guitars and microphones. I was a faithful customer at The Music Farm before getting lucky enough to work here. I like the idea of no pressure sales, it allows me to get to what our customers really need. There has also never been a cheeseburger I didn't like!
Hi, I'm Jeff. Although many of my friends call me "Fong." I went to electronics school in the 70's where I studied Vacuum Tube Technology. Though long before that I had started playing the guitar. My specialty is restoring Vintage tube amps, however I can fix just about anything from large speakers to small ukuleles and everything in between. I have a special collection of tubes, amplifiers, and vintage fuzz boxes. Working here at the farm has brought me into contact with so much incredible and unique gear, both new and used. I love having the opportunity to interact with great musicians in the area and from around the world!
I may not be in a band but I love music; especially country and folk. Growing up, I enjoyed playing the flute in my high school marching band. I previously did marketing for a Cleveland Jazz radio station, and I am excited to pick up the beat here at The Music Farm. I am your typical crafty girl who enjoys creating and designing things in marketing and graphics. After a few years in Cleveland, I am ready to be on The Farm!
I play both guitar and bass, but by no fault of my own I'm a guitar player at heart. At thirteen, I was supposed to get a bass guitar for Christmas, but my mom accidentally grabbed an electric guitar by mistake and that's where it all started! For the last eighteen years I have played in a 1980's cover band. Because of my experience in the areas, guitar and pro audio are my expertise. I have worked in the music industry for nearly twenty years and wanted to work for a company on the rise that I felt I could add something to. I've never worked for a company that offered such a variety of brands and products. I would have to say, the only thing better than surrounding myself with music daily is hanging out with my step-dog, Bongo. But that's just me.
I picked up the trombone in middle school, then saved up my mowing money to buy myself a bass guitar, and taught myself by playing along to Led Zeppelin and Who records. After a brief stint as an education major, I changed my major to music. I have since had the pleasure of writing and recording music with a number of groups, and am currently a member of two local bands. Besides my obvious bias towards the bass, I find any and all instruments fascinating (the quirkier the better) and will at least take a swing at anything I can get my hands on.
I grew up in a very musical family, where instruments were always on hand and family jam sessions were regular. I began on the trumpet in 5th grade, and have been playing guitar and songwriting since the age of 10. Music from all around the world has been, and always will be a passion and way of life for me. Working at The Music Farm allows me to help others feel the same joy and passion that I have for music. I have also been able to expand my knowledge of musical instruments and equipment. When I am not at The Music Farm, I enjoy playing gigs, gardening, painting, speaking French, and spending time with my loved ones.
The Music Farm wants to be your go-to place for all things music. We want to help you Grow Your Passion® in any way we can. To help with this we have established an ever-growing lesson program, starting at age 5 and up. We currently offer guitar, bass, ukulele, banjo, and drum lessons. Our instructors are versed in other areas as well, so if there's something you're looking to learn, please don't hesitate to give us a call.
Our lesson program runs with one 30 minute lesson per week. The cost of each lesson is $20. These are not group lessons, but a one-on-one with the instructor.
Since every student is different, the first lesson is spent getting to know what goals the student has in mind as well as what kind of music they're interested in, what the student already knows, and what they would like to learn. Practice is very important, and the instructor will likely assign homework to be done during the week prior to the next lesson.
Because we believe practice is very important, we offer a 10% discount throughout the store to our students currently enrolled in the lesson program. This ensures the student will have everything they need, and also to thank you for choosing so take part in our program.
Lessons can be rescheduled, but not refunded. So we ask you to please check your schedule before signing up.

DOVER — Fitness studios and running groups have become popular in our modern society. Those who are trying diligently to improve their health, lose weight and modify their lifestyle now have many outlets where they can find help and guidance. However, there is one running group in town that offers not just a physical plan for fitness but also ties in one's mental and spiritual health, too.
Run for God is a 12 week program designed for non-runners and embraces every aspect of a runner's health — physically, mentally and spiritually. With its Christian focus, Run for God (RFG) appeals to those individuals who seek to find a connection between running a road race and running the race of life.
Created by Mitchell Hollis in Dalton, Ga., the program has spread throughout many U.S. communities. Currently, in Dover, a Run for God program is nearing completion of its second year — a year of training runners for an upcoming 5K race. Facilitated by Molly Wade, an attorney and Madbury resident, RFG has embraced people of all stages of fitness and physical health and has guided them toward achieving something that they once believed was unachievable."Run for God is unlike any other fitness program," said Wade. "It focuses not merely on the physical elements to good health and fitness, but also encourages people to improve their relationship with God so that they develop their strength from the inside out." Each week, RFG participants gather at St. Mary Church in Dover to listen to a speaker discuss a running-related topic. Some speakers thus far have included representatives from Runners Alley, Olympian Cathy O'Brien, physical therapist Dave Berchuk from Lighthouse Therapy and Tami Provost from Fit on the Fly. Each presentation concentrates on the merits of running and includes instruction on how to achieve positive physical results.
When the presentation portion of the session ends, Wade leads the RFG group through a discussion of "deeper" questions- questions that encourage participants to reflect on their spiritual "race," their individual faith and their reliance upon God to guide them through the difficult times in their lives. "Everyone has hurdles and obstacles that interrupt their life from time to time. God equips us with the strength and endurance to run through those challenges if we rely on Him," said Wade. "People sometimes view faith as a crutch- something that they wish they could do without. Run for God reminds participants that through and with God, we can do anything in life. Even when we're at the metaphorical Mile 2 in our real life and we are tired, despondent and feeling alone, God is there to lead us to our finish line."Wade also facilitates Run for God at Saint Mary Academy where she has over 100 student participants. Introducing children to the benefits of running, implementing a healthy lifestyle and maintaining spiritual connectedness with God is important to her. "If children can learn at an early age the importance of being healthy- physically, mentally and spiritually- then they have the right tools to lead them toward a more successful, happier life."
Together, all Run for God participants will run in the upcoming Saint Mary Academy 5K Run/Walk on Saturday, April 13. "It will be a day of great triumph," said Wade. "These runners have worked and trained for 12 weeks and it is their moment to shine. And hopefully, they now know that with God running alongside them, they can do anything in life."

Tapping a Pipeline of Grassroots Energy
In the latest act of what has become a long political saga, Senate Republicans are trying to bypass the permitting process altogether and pass a law mandating the construction of the controversial Keystone XL pipeline, which would transport oil from the Canadian tar sands to refineries on the Gulf of Mexico.
But you've likely heard about this already, thanks to a major mobilization of more than 35 organizations working together to oppose the proposed law. A coalition of environmental, tribal, and other groups launched an effort to get 500,000 people to contact their senators within 24 hours. Seven hours in, with the help of bloggers, celebrities, and vibrant networks on social media, the petition had already passed the half a million mark. [Update: More than 800,000 people ended up voicing their opposition within the 24-hour window.]
That volume of response illustrates the passion that Keystone XL now excites among opponents and supporters alike. But it wasn't always this way. A year ago, few people had even heard of the pipeline (there weren't enough searches for "Keystone XL" in February 2011 to register on Google Trends) and those who did know about the project considered approval a foregone conclusion.
What a difference a year makes. Climate activists, residents along the proposed pipeline route (particularly in Nebraska, where concern about damage to the Ogallala Aquifer and the Sandhills is strong), indigenous tribes, and other opponents refused to let the pipeline be silently approved. "We're pretty sure that without serious pressure the Keystone Pipeline will get its permit from Washington," Bill McKibben, Naomi Klein, Wes Jackson, Wendell Berry, and others warned in an open letter last June. And so began months of sustained activism, from a two-week sit-in that prompted more than 1,200 arrests in August to a November rally that encircled the White House.
What had once been an under-the-radar proposal soon rocketed to the status of major national issue, debated by presidential candidates and used as leverage in congressional negotiations. Congressional Republicans passed an ultimatum requiring the State Department to rule on the the permit for the pipeline within 60 days—a time frame that State deemed impossible, leading to rejection of the permit. And now, in a particularly brazen move, those same legislators are trying to mandate the construction of the pipeline—regardless of what regulatory agencies reviewing the project have to say—by attaching an amendment to a major transportation bill.
But they're not finding it easy to do so quietly—thanks to what has, in the last year, grown into a large, passionate, and well-coordinated grassroots effort to stop the pipeline. "When we've been sending out Keystone XL emails, we've been seeing higher response and open rates than about anything we've been doing on any issue over the last couple years," Sierra Club president Michael Brune told reporters on a conference call this morning. CREDO Mobile's Michael Kieschnick agreed: "The Keystone XL fight has galvanized our 2.5 million members more than any other issue. That's because they know the stakes." Activists, citing the horrendous climate impact of developing the tar sands, call the pipeline the fuse to the biggest carbon bomb on the planet.
It's too soon to say what will ultimately happen with the pipeline. Right-wing politicians, many of them recipients of significant campaign contributions from Big Oil and other pipeline supporters, are showing there's little they won't try to get it built. But standing in their way is a grassroots movement with the energy—and the collaborative power—to turn a little-known infrastructure project into one of the central political debates in our country.

Tom Devlin's '55 F-100
H ave you ever gone to a car show and fallen in love with one particular truck? This was the case with Tom Devlin who always had a soft spot for the iconic Ford F-100 pickup. Running across that particular F-100 was the last straw; it was time for Tom to take the plunge and either find or build himself a cool classic pickup – and the hunt was on (with help from his youngest son Tim). After numerous fruitless searches Tom finally found the right one at a Texas Goodguys show. The '55 F-100 he'd found had the look he was after and, although it was in decent running and driving condition, there was still plenty of work to be done, and that'd give him the opportunity to personalize the pickup to his own taste.
The purchase was made and the truck was hauled back to Augusta, Kansas. Having the truck back in his garage, Tom couldn't help but notice what stood out with his recent purchase. It had the perfect stance and a color he liked, but unfortunately there were primer spots where the hood emblems had been shaved and filled. Tom didn't let those spots keep him from driving and enjoying the Ford – that is until he reached the point where he couldn't continue to look at those primer spots any longer. After a chat with his son Tim, who owns Devlin Rod & Customs, they decided it was time to repaint the truck. What he ended up with was a little more than a paintjob!
With the truck in Tim's shop, they took it down to the frame and started from there. With the front suspension apart, the 3-inch drop axle was stripped and repainted then mated up with a fresh spring and reinstalled along with a pair of fresh Monroe shocks. The manual steering box was in serious need of a rebuild, and with that completed the focus was then turned toward the rear suspension. The stock rearend was also treated to a complete rebuild, while the pickup's rear framerails were notched to accommodate the new lowered stance.
Above and beyond the standard body straightening and fresh paint, Tom and Tim decided to treat the pickup to a few subtle custom touches that added to the clean lines of the F-100. The hood trim was shaved along with smoothing out and filling the factory ribbed firewall. All the fender, door, and hood gaps were tightened and cleaned up as well. A custom tailgate latch was installed, which wrapped up the list of details Tom had planned for his prized project.
Once the chassis and body had been refreshed, it was time to focus on the driveline. The Ford's 239-cube Y-block was pulled and rebuilt. The freshened engine now breathes through an Edmonds air cleaner and a PerTronix ignition system provides spark. The original exhaust was replaced by a pair of ram's-horn manifolds and a pair of Smithy's glasspack mufflers. Topping off the motor are a pair of Offenhauser finned-aluminum valve covers and the crunchy old original wiring was replaced by a new cloth-covered wiring harness before the guys mated the F-100's motor to the original three-speed manual transmission.
Where this classic truck really stands out though is the paint. Ryan James with Devlin Rod & Customs worked his magic and delivered a flawless paintjob using RM urethane in an original 1955 Ford truck commercial blue. Both bumpers were sent off to Sherm's Chrome Plating in Sacramento, California, to be stripped and re-chromed, while the master woodworking skills of Jeff Sawders were utilized to give the new bed wood an antique custom look.
With the exterior of the truck flawlessly restored and repainted, Tim knew that the interior would have to receive just as much attention. The idea was to end up with something clean and simple, so he contacted Scott Downey of Downey's Auto Upholstery in Wichita, Kansas, and had them handle the pickup's interior. Scott took the stock bench and wrapped it in fresh blue vinyl with light blue 1955 Ford passenger car fabric inserts. The stock instrumentation was refinished and refaced by Classic Instruments while a vintage Sun tachometer was given the reface treatment to match the new gauges. Staying true to the truck's traditional styling, Tim added a 1949 Ford AM radio connected to a pair of Pioneer speakers – perfect for listening to some '50s rock 'n' roll.
The finishing touch to Tom's F-100 came in the way of a quartet of 16-inch steel wheels wrapped in brand-new wide white bias-ply Firestones (6×16 up front and 7x16s out back). With Tim's rodstoration work complete, it was time to hand the keys back to his dad. Needless to say, when Tim and the guys at Devlin Rod & Customs revealed the truck Tom was awestruck. Tom was just expecting a repainted truck, not one that was totally redone. To add to his excitement, the very same Goodguys show that started it all was just around the corner and Tom knew what he had to do – take his beautiful pride and joy back to the show.
After completion of the show, Tom was taken aback once more when he discovered that his truck had received an award (along with two other vehicles built by Devlin Rod & Customs). From a quick paintjob to an award-winning rodstoration was more than Tom could have hoped for and he's not sure what he's more proud of – his fresh new hot rod pickup or his talented and loving son.
