Cover for the book African American Faces of the Civil War: An Album by Ronald Coddington. Book published by John Hopkins University Press.
Ronald Coddington has produced the third book in his "Faces of the Civil War" series. His books feature photographs of civil war soldiers, and provide an annotation about them – for example, soldier name, background, war experience, and post-war experience. His latest work is African American Faces of the Civil War: An Album.
African American Faces is notable for its exhibition of a large photographic record of "colored" Civil War participants. Over 75 African Americans are pictured and discussed. Most are Union soldiers, such as Sargent Major Lewis Henry Douglass, the son of Frederick Douglass, who served in the famous Fifty-fourth Massachusetts Infantry; and Major Martin Delaney, the black activist, newspaper publisher, and soldier recruiter who was the highest ranking African descent field officer in the Union at the end of the War. But several non-Union soldiers are included, such as Confederate slave Silas Chandler; Robert Holloway, the personal servant of Union Colonel Ambrose Burnside who was captured at the First Battle of Bull Run; South Carolinian Robert Smalls, who became famous for leading a group of slaves out of Charleston harbor and into freedom on a stolen steamboat; and Navy seamen.
The brief biography that accompanies each photograph serves to "flesh out" each of these men, and helps us understand that for African Americans, this was not merely a war for Union or Southern independence, but rather, was a struggle for freedom, equality and dignity.
And this is a book about men; all the subjects noted are male. If I could have given one suggestion to the author it would have been to include Harriet Tubman in the book. Tubman, a noted conductor of the Underground Railroad helped to lead a union raid in South Carolina to disrupt Southern supply lines and free local area slaves. This story would have made for an interesting complement to the others in the book.
African American Faces is written to be accessible to a large group of readers, and would be a welcome addition to middle school libraries and above, as well as being a fine addition to any personal library. As an elementary and high school student in the 1960s and early 1970s, I never saw an image of a black civil war soldier, nor did I hear anything mentioned about them. Coddington's book further illustrates that there is a rich record from which to draw concerning this previously (and some say currently) neglected aspect of the Civil War.

Life Science: Session 6
Evolution and the Tree of Life
Learning Goals
During this session, you will have an opportunity to build understandings to help you:
- Define what is meant by "species."
- Describe how new species evolve as a result of variation and adaptation through natural selection.
- Comprehend a tree of life as a model for depicting evolution and the relatedness of species.
Video Overview
What makes a snake a snake, and a lizard a lizard? What distinguishes one type of lizard from another? And how did so many types of reptiles come to be? Session 6 focuses on questions like these as we continue our study of the fundamentals of evolution. Building upon key ideas introduced last session–variation and adaptation through natural selection–we focus upon what defines a species and how new species evolve.
Video Outline
Deep within the basement of the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard University, there is a treasure trove of life forms ready for study. The program opens inside the reptile and amphibian collection, where we begin to see part of what informs the work of evolutionary biologists.
Dr. Karen Worth, representing the Insights curriculum from the Educational Development Center (EDC), describes how the study of evolution can begin in the elementary grades. The fifth graders in Gail Modugno's classroom in Springfield, Massachusetts give us a glimpse of what this might look like as her students begin to connect similarities among life forms to the possibility of relatedness. Our fourth and fifth graders in the Science Studio connect us to research on children's ideas throughout the program as they ponder the meaning of species, adaptation, evolution, and relatedness.
Dr. Jim Hanken, from the Museum of Comparative Zoology, helps us dig deeper by using snake and lizard specimens to explore the meaning of "species." Dr. Doug Causey, also from the museum, presents us with a collection of "Darwin's finches" to propose a scenario for how new species might evolve through natural selection.
A tree of life is introduced as a model that portrays how scientists think life on Earth evolved, and a scenario for vertebrate evolution is described. Dr. Paul Williams returns to update us on the progress of Bottle Biology, highlighting the results of an experiment that explores the fundamentals of evolution.

"When Bob played it changed my life. I had never heard anything like he was playing. I went bananas. I was crazy for it. I felt something change in me chemically. It ruined me. I flunked out of college, quit my job, and started learning how to play boogie-woogie piano..."
Both Bob's play a relentless keyboard in the truest sense of jazz playing — Infectious rhythm and dizzying improvisation. Both have unparalleled credentials in the genre.
Bob Seeley spent his formative years playing with Meade Lux Lewis and other jazz greats in the 1950s and early 60s. Over the years Seeley has become known as the best boogie woogie and stride player in the world.
"Boogie" Bob Baldori has been playing piano and harmonica with Chuck Berry since 1967. In addition to fronting his own group he has spent years playing blues, boogie and backbeat rock and roll in Chicago and Detroit.
Together, their styles are at the crossroads of American music.
The relationship started when they met at a tribute to Chuck Berry's original piano player, Johnny Johnson. They started working together soon after Baldori sat in at Seeley's regular gig at Charley's Crab in Detroit. A mutual interest in the "two piano" boogie style of Pete Johnson and Albert Ammons led them to work out some of the original four hand classics. They also discovered a repertoire of mutually familiar blues, boogie and jazz tunes that Baldori could double on harmonica. From there it was a short step to creating original pieces for their live show.
Between them, they have an encyclopedic repertoire of jazz, boogie, stride, blues and backbeat rock and roll.
Since starting to work together, the duo has been recognized internationally as the world's premier performers of American piano music. From Chicago to Moscow, the two Bob's have been thrilling audiences at venues like the Chicago Jazz Festival, Birdland in NYC, Moscow's International House of Music, The Glenn Gould Theater in Toronto and similar venues.
They continue to expand their range and their audiences as they pursue their mission to bring back "America's forgotten music" - the foundation of modern jazz and American pop music.
Boogie Stomp! is a documentary film, currently in production, that will tell the story of boogie woogie, its origins, subsequent history and ongoing development. Boogie Stomp! will also tell the story of the amazing Bob Seeley. His encyclopedic repertoire and exuberant delivery are unparalleled among contemporary players.
There is a dedicated web site for the Documentary Film and the related Stage Play at:
Available from Spirit Records.
In the late '30s and throughout the '40s the world of jazz and popular music was dominated by the big three - Pete Johnson, Albert Ammons, and Meade Lux Lewis. Their style was called Boogie Woogie, but their playing covered a wider range, including jazz, blues, swing, stride, ragtime, barrelhouse, and the roots of rock and roll. Not since then has anyone come close to delivering the excitement, spontaneity and magic of the originals — until now. With this recording, Seeley And Baldori demonstrate the spirit of Ammons, Johnson, and Lewis is alive and well, and in good hands.

"We don't believe lashes should be expensive and that is why we have created lashes that are high in quality but kinder to your purses so you can stock up on multi packs of lashes, so you never have to run out. High fashion lashes, at low cost prices."
Lash Unlimited lashes has been worn by the likes of Alesha Dixon, Caroline Flack, Michelle Keegan and many of the Loose Women. Add extra length to your own lashes instantly.
Step One – Measure:
Measure the strip lash against your lash line and trim any excess hair from the inner part of the eyelash (nearest to the tear duct). Do the same for the other eye and remember to trim the inner part of the opposite eyelash.
Step Two – Mascara:
Apply mascara to your own natural lashes and allow to dry.
Step Three – Apply the eyelash glue:
Apply a thin layer of eyelash glue and allow to dry clear before applying to the eye. The adhesive will then become tacky making it easier for your eyelash application.
Step Four – Apply lashes:
With tweezers or your fingers, place the centre of the eyelash onto the centre of your lash line. Gently use tweezers (or fingers) to press the edges down and get as close to the lash line so the strip line disappears. Use finger to press the edges down and to secure the eyelash. Tips You may find it easier to apply the lashes at the very end of your makeup routine.
Do not pull too hard when removing your lashes. (You may want to use a damp cotton bud to dab over the band to loosen the glue.) Use tweezers to remove any excess glue remaining on the lash band and then use a cotton bud (dabbed in oil free makeup remover or water) to gently remove any additional glue from your own eyelashes. Do NOT soak the lashes in water or any other liquid. Soaking them may ruin the style, shape, and curl of the lash. Store lashes in a box to retain their shape and keep them clean so you can use them again and again!

Venezuela jails 2 more opposition leaders
Arrests come after President Maduro warned protest leaders and ordered barricades dismantled in Caracas
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has used the military, legislative and judicial power consolidated during 15 years of socialist rule in a sudden series of blows against opponents who have spent more than a month protesting in the streets, knocking down their barricades and throwing dissident leaders in jail.
Thursday dawned with two more opposition politicians behind bars, one of them sentenced to more than 10 months in prison. And pro-government lawmakers had already started trying to put another outspoken critic behind bars as well, moving to strip an opposition congresswoman of her legislative immunity from prosecution.
Maduro has been warning his rivals for weeks that they could soon meet the same fate as opposition hardliner Leopoldo Lopez, who was jailed on charges related to the Feb. 12 protests that initiated the wave of unrest, which has so far led to at least 28 deaths, most of them after Lopez was arrested.
Sweeping arrests
San Diego Mayor Enzo Scarano was removed from his post by the Supreme Court, arrested and on the same day sent to begin a 10 1/2-month prison term for failing to heed a court order to have protesters' barricades removed from the streets of his city.
San Cristobal Mayor Daniel Ceballos was arrested as well on charges of rebellion and conspiracy. Maduro said in a speech last month that Ceballos would soon join Lopez behind bars for fomenting violence. "It's a matter of time until we have him in the same cold cell," Maduro said.
The federal government itself moved in this week to clear out the plaza at the heart of the demonstrations against inflation, shortages, crime and perceived official intolerance, sending national guardsmen to take over Plaza Altamira in the capital.
Luis Vicente Leon, president of Caracas-based polling company Datanalisis, said the government's recent moves were a step toward radicalizing the country's political process.
"Without a doubt (Maduro) has perceived that the protests are not going to stop so it's best to simply confront them and deal with them harshly," Leon said, adding that the opposition will likely find less room to maneuver because the government seeks to create a sense of fear that anyone even demonstrating peacefully could face danger.
Maduro's rivals said they would not be bullied into submission, vowing new marches.
Two-time opposition presidential candidate and Miranda state Governor Henrique Capriles said through his Twitter account Thursday that Maduro had "thrown gasoline on the fire."
"He and only he will be responsible for the situation that unfolds in the country," Capriles wrote.
Interior Minister Miguel Rodriguez Torres on Thursday distanced federal authorities from the arrests, saying it was other government branches that were acting "to protect the right of the majority and not to protect the right of a small group that under the excuse of protesting wants to muddle the lives of Venezuelans."
San Cristobal, where the wave of protests began, is being run by an unelected official who had been serving as a city administrator, one of Ceballos' top aides, Ronni Pavolini, told The Associated Press.
Ceballos, a member of Lopez's Popular Will party, had been outspoken in denouncing the harshness with which government security forces attacked the demonstrations in his city near Venezuela's western border with Colombia.
Alfonso Medina Roa, attorney for the San Diego mayor, said that town would be run by an administrator designated by Scarano while he serves his sentence. A director of the National Electoral Council said the body would meet to propose a schedule for new elections in San Diego, where Scarano was elected in December with 75 pe rcent of the vote.
The lawyer said Scarano was "sentenced without justice, sentenced without accusation."
Potential for more violence
Protests continued on Thursday, when police used tear gas and water cannons to disperse a student-called protest of several thousand people in Caracas. Some of those demonstrating against the arrests of the mayors threw objects at riot police. There were no injuries reported.
The night before, several businesses were looted or burned, including a large supermarket, in San Diego. Carabobo state Gov. Francisco Ameliach, a member of the ruling party, used his Twitter account to blame "terrorist groups that were sown and protected in San Diego by authorities."
Venezuela's National Assembly on Tuesday voted to start a process to strip opposition lawmaker Maria Corina Machado of her immunity so they could bring charges against her for allegedly trying to destabilize the government.
Machado, a former presidential candidate, was expected to speak Friday at a meeting of the Organization of American States in Washington about the situation in Venezuela. Because the Venezuelan government controls the country's seat at the organization, Panama has offered Machado its seat to make her presentation to the regional body.
U.S. State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki expressed concern Thursday over the arrest of the two mayors. "The Venezuelan government should stop the violence against its citizens and opposition officials who are exercising their freedom of speech," Psaki said.

The RE/DONE Patch Collection takes three of our most beloved styles: the High Rise, the High Rise Wide Leg, and the High Rise Relaxed, and embellishes them with rectangular patches of black vintage denim. These tonal pieces will feature different shades of vintage denim. These tonal pieces will feature different shades of indigo and have an asymmetrical pattern. Like all other RE/DONE | Levi's, no two jeans will be exactly alike.
Made in Maryville, TN, circa '80s. These jeans fit differently than the stretchy, skintight mass-produced jeans you might be used to. Buy your usual jean size - if they feel tight out of the box, it doesn't mean they are too small, it just means you need to spend a little quality time breaking them in. A few hours of wear is all it'll take to make these your new favorite jeans.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 7 (UPI) -- President Obama Monday nominated former U.S. Sen. Chuck Hagel as his Pentagon chief and counter-terrorism adviser John Brennan to lead the CIA.
Obama, during the nearly 30-minute announcement, called the men patriots who understand that "we are only successful because of the folks up and down the line" in the Defense Department and the Central Intelligence Agency.
Hagel, a Republican who once represented Nebraska in the U.S. Senate, "is the leader our troops deserve," Obama said. "He is an American patriot."
If his nomination is approved by the Senate, Hagel would be the first enlisted man, and first Vietnam-era veteran, to lead the Defense Department. He would succeed Leon Panetta.
Men and women in uniform would see Hagel as a "combat vet of character and strength ... one of their own," Obama said.
"Chuck knows war is not an abstraction," the president said. "He understands sending young Americans to fight ... and bleed ... is something we do only when necessary."
Hagel said he was grateful for the opportunity to strengthen the country's military posture, its alliances and "to help build a better world for all mankind. I will do my best."
Hagel, who was awarded the Purple Heart twice, likely will face tough questioning during the confirmation process as senators from both sides of the aisle expressed reservations.
Hagel "would be the most antagonistic secretary of defense toward the state of Israel in our nation's history," Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said Sunday on CNN's "State of the Union."
"He has long severed his ties with the Republican Party," Graham said. "This is an in-your-face nomination by the president to all of us who are supportive of Israel. I don't know what his management experience is regarding the Pentagon -- little, if any -- so I think it's an incredibly controversial choice."
Some Democrats have said they are wary of comments Hagel made in 1998 when he questioned whether "openly, aggressively gay" James Hormel was appropriate to be President Bill Clinton's ambassador to Luxembourg.
Brennan, Obama said, is a tireless public servant whose "integrity and commitment to values defines us as Americans. If confirmed, Brennan would succeed Acting CIA Director Michael Morell, who assumed the directorship when David Petraeus resigned after an extramarital affair came to light.
If Brennan earns Senate approval, which he is expected to do easily, the men and women of the CIA will have one of their own, Obama said.
"He knows you ... cares for you ... and will fight for you every single day."
Brennan said CIA agents "need and deserve the support of all their fellow Americans." He said if he is confirmed he will "make it my mission" to keep the country safe.
Obama called on the Senate to confirm the two men without delay because "when it comes to national security, we don't like to leave a lot of gaps."

JOHN IRVING COUNSELS JONATHAN FRANZEN BEFORE OPRAH FIGHTLeave a comment
The voice coming through the cell phone John Irving held to his ear sounded different from the reading voice Jonathon Franzen used at his events.
"You gotta help me, man. She picked Freedom."
"Always a good choice. Who is this?" Irving asked.
"Well, um, it's uh, Franzen. Jonathan."
Irving nodded his head. He knew all about this. When you're at the top of the hill, everyone takes a shot.
"Is this Jonathan 'the Great American Novelist' Franzen?"
He knew who it was and knew what he wanted. He wanted to get into the octagon.
"Let me tell you straight out, it won't happen."
"What won't happen?"
"A Great American Novelist never asks what will or won't happen; they already know."
"Then you heard?"
"I hear it in my sleep, pal. Everyone wants a piece of Johnny Irving the wrestler after I whipped up on a few has-beens and other Great American Novelists. Now you want your chance. No surprise there. Do you know how to fight? Did you at least wrestle in high school?"
Jonathan Franzen paused the sort of pause he takes when asked a five-part three hundred word question at a reading that takes the audience member ten minutes to ask.
Jonathan Franzen listens.
"You think I want to fight you? In the octagon?"
"That's where it goes down. What's your background?"
"I'm a writer, you loon, not some UFC reject. I can handle myself, but no, I don't want to fight you."
"It's okay, Jonathan. You're talking to another Great American Novelist. There's not that many of us." Irving said. "I even have a book out. Maybe you've heard of it, Last Night In Twisted River? We've both made the cover of Time, just like Bruce."
"He made Newsweek and Time in the same week. Let's not get carried away."
John Irving did what he always did when someone else mentions Bruce Springsteen. "B R U U U E S S S S S."
"Okay, put down the bic lighter, John. I need help. Oprah picked Freedom for the Oprah Book Club. She wants me on the show."
"No problem so far."
"I got un-invited last time."
"Rightfully so, and your sales jumped. Will you do that again? Snub Oprah twice?"
"I didn't snub her. I was trying to say complicated things before I went on; I thought Oprah's endorsement might keep my male readers away. I should have been saying simple things."
"Like 'thank-you?'"
"Yes, that would have worked. That's what I said this time. But I sensed something else. Remember A Million Little Pieces by James Frey? She had him on for the book, than again when she found out he'd fooled her and her researchers."
"I do remember. She wanted to kick his ass," Irving said.
"I think she wants to kick mine."
"She probably could."
"That's why I'm calling. I need a coach. You took on Hemingway and won."
"Another Great American Novelist. Very formidable. He wouldn't fight Oprah."
"Neither will I, but what if I have to?"
Irving ran his hand through his hair.
"Like she might push an octagon up against your dressing room door and the only way out of your room is through it, with Oprah waiting in the middle? Then you'd have to?"
"Something like that, yeah. What do I do?"
Irving opened the door to his wrestling room.
"Are you anywhere near a high school? If you are, go find a wrestling coach and pay him to show you how to move on the mat. Your best chance is controlling the tempo of the match…"
"There won't be a match."
"…until you see her drop her hands, then you close. Make her tired and hope you don't get as tired doing it."
"Do you understand? No match."
"It'll be great. Listen, maybe I could be the referee?"
"You wouldn't let it go too far?"
"And risk you losing out on the rest of your book tour, especially after Oprah's blessing? Would I do that to a fellow Great American Novelist? Come on. Listen, I"ll call you back. "
"What do I say to the high school wrestling coach?"
"Ask him about ground and pound."
"Ground and pound? Got it."
"You'll get it."
"Excuse me?"
"You know that move Oprah does with both hands out front like she's chopping wood, or praying? You don't want that coming down on your neck."
"That's allowed?"
"I'll call you back."

Cheat Sheet
The Canadian GED For Dummies Cheat Sheet
In Canada, passing the General Educational Development (GED) tests grants you a high school equivalency certificate or diploma, which can give you an advantage over other job or education candidates. Prepare for the GED test by visiting relevant Web sites, getting the most out of GED practice tests, learning some key test-taking strategies, and knowing your options if you're a newcomer to Canada.
Web Resources for Taking GED Tests in Canada
If you're looking for online information about taking the General Education Development (GED) test in Canada, the official GED site is a great place to start. The GED Testing Service Web site offers online resources that you can rely on when planning to take the Canadian high school equivalency exam.
How to Get the Most Out of GED Practice Tests
To pass the General Education Development (GED) test with flying colors, try a few practice tests. Reviewing typical GED test questions and feeling confident with your answers is a great way to prepare for the high school equivalency exam. To really benefit and get the most out of your GED practice tests, keep the following steps in mind:
Carefully read the instructions at the beginning of each test.
Know the time restrictions for the real test, and stick to them as you take the practice test.
Prepare for the practice test the way you would prepare for the real test.
Make a mental plan beforehand so you know how to answer the questions in the allotted time.
Focus on each question and choose the best possible answer.
After you finish all the questions or run out of time, make some notes on your scrap paper about the difficulty of the test.
Check the answers to see how you did.
When you finish checking your answers, add up the number of questions you answered correctly.
Review the questions you missed, even if you only missed one, and read the notes you made right after you finished the test (in Step 6).
Go on to the second practice test if you did well on the first one or if you've finished any extra preparation you wanted to do.
Test-Taking Tips for the GED
You can increase your General Education Development (GED) test score by practicing – and mastering – a few smart test-taking strategies. Follow these GED tips and you'll feel more confident at test-time.
Watch the clock: when the test begins, calculate the time you'll have to answer each question. In general, you will need 45 minutes for the essay question and 1.5 minutes for all other questions. Practice this technique while doing sample tests. The more you practice timed tests, the easier managing timed tests becomes.
Use intelligent guessing: always answer a question, even if you guess, because there are no penalties for wrong answers. When two answers seem very close, consider both carefully (they can't both be right, but they could both be wrong); look for opposite answers in the hopes that you can eliminate one; and trust your instincts. Ask yourself what the question is really asking; find the best answer; and quickly verify that it answers the question.
Leave time for review: leave time so that you can review the difficult questions at the end and check that your answers are displayed properly. Be careful not to use this time to start second guessing your answers.
Keep your head in the game: take time to relax before the test; know the rules of the room before you begin; keep your eyes on your own paper; and stay calm.
Canadian GED Tips for Newcomers to Canada
The Canadian General Education Development (GED) tests are generally provided in English and require a level of English understanding equal to that of most Grade 12 students. If you are new to Canada, consider these factors before signing up to take the GED.
Check with your local test centre to see what languages are offered for the GED. Although the GED test is also available in French and Spanish, not all test centres offer the test in all languages.
If English isn't your first language and you have trouble reading it, consider taking some English classes to improve your skills before taking the GED.
Some test centres require you to prove that you can read English, and they may require you to take an English as a second language (ESL) test in addition to the GED test. To find out if your jurisdiction requires the ESL test, contact your local testing centre or the provincial administrator.

- Crepes:
- 1 1/4 cups nonfat milk
- 1 large egg
- 2/3 cup flour
- 2 teaspoons margarine
- Filling:
- 1/2 cup yellow seedless raisins, soaked in hot water for 5 minutes and drained
- 15 ounces part-skim ricotta cheese
- 3 packets Equal sweetener
- 1 large egg yolk
- Custard:
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup nonfat milk
- 3 packets Equal sweetener
- Topping:
- 1/2 cup fat-free sour cream
- 1/2 cup 100% apricot fruit spread
To make crepes, whip together 1 1/4 cups nonfat milk, 1 egg, and flour until smooth. Heat a 7- to 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 1/4 teaspoon margarine and swirl around entire surface of the skillet. Pour in a scant 1/4 cup batter and immediately swirl to coat the bottom of the skillet. Cook until the edges are golden and the middle is solid (about 30 seconds). Carefully loosen and flip with a spatula. Cook second side about 15 seconds and invert onto a plate. Repeat the process until all batter is used (should make 8 crepes).
Preheat oven to 375°F. To make filling, beat softened raisins, ricotta cheese, 3 packets of Equal, and egg yolk with an electric mixer until smooth and fluffy. To assemble crepes, place 5 tablespoons of the filling into the lower half of each crepe. Roll the crepe and place in a 9″ x 13″ baking dish. Repeat until all crepes are rolled.
To make custard, whip 1 egg, 1 cup nonfat milk, and 3 packets of Equal together with a whisk until smooth. Pour evenly over crepes. Place in preheated oven and cook for approximately 15–20 minutes, until custard is set and edges are golden. Remove from oven and spoon dollops of sour cream, then apricot spread over the crepes. Serve immediately.

EU Commission plans Europe-wide licensing of online music
On Thursday according to the Financial Times Deutschland the Commission intends to present a study on the subject. What was more, the paper states, the Commission was planning to introduce a Europe-wide license for online music. The latter was designed to boost cross-border sales of music tracks and stimulate competition in the sector. The EU Commissioner for Internal Market and Services, Charlie McCreevy, will according to the report decide by this fall whether these plans are to be implemented through a directive or whether a set of recommendations is to be issued to the EU member states. The abolition of national collecting societies such as the German GEMA was not being planned, however, the paper writes.
Because it considered "common regulations for the collective safeguarding of rights and in particular with respect to the work of the collecting societies to be urgently required," about a year ago the EU Commission had suggested the creation of common legal provisions for collecting societies. These would make it easier to sell music tracks via the Internet, because to date online shops have to sign a separate agreement on the exploitation of copyrights in each EU member state. The EU Commission is in favor of there being in future only one collecting society with which Internet music shops would have to settle accounts for their music sales in all 25 EU member states. Setting up online shops would thereby become a lot less difficult and hence more attractive. The competition arising in turn between the societies could also lead to better conditions for suppliers.

Although the Final Edition SDK announcement at the Hyperion web site claims that the SDK includes an "Updated clib2 alternative C standard library", it apparently wasn't updated to use renamed AmigaDOS functions. Here is an example of the link failures I'm getting:
/SDK/clib2/lib/libc.a(stdlib_program_name.o): In function `stdlib_program_name_init_ctor':
stdlib_program_name.c:(.text+0xe4): undefined reference to `GetProgramName'
make: *** [usbsnd] Error 1
GetProgramName() was renamed to GetCliProgramName() and including "dos/obsolete.h" in a program has no effect on a precompiled library like libc.a which contains obsolete function names. Unless someone has a fix for this problem, could we please get a new clib2 for the new SDK in AmiUpdate or uploaded to OS4Depot??

After my last post, Google, Google Why Hast Thou Forsaken Me, I decided that, seeing as how there isn't much I can do about it, I would stop worrying about it and just continue on with what I was doing. I reckon taking Keith's, from Public Speaking and Presentations, advice about using Market Samurai's Ranking feature helped me. You may remember I stopped searching where it ranked in the SERPS after 30, and that took some time, well MS told me in seconds that it didn't even rank in the top 100 :flush_tb:
So, here I am writing about something a lot less stressful, some may even say it's my favourite topic, naked women. I've loved the naked female body almost as long as I could remember, even to this day I wonder why so many of them cover it up. Must be because of all those prudes out there who can't handle the site of naked flesh.
Sort of makes you wonder doesn't, it when it's really the most natural thing in the world. I even suggested how we should all take out clothes off for the greater good. There's no way that's going to happen though and so we must leave a lot to the imagination. At least these days our imaginations doesn't exactly have to work overtime because a lot of those lovely ladies love to wear the bare minimum. But bare minimum isn't exactly naked.
This is probably why throughout the ages man has depicted the naked woman form, whether it's in paintings or in sculptures. I reckon that's why I took a lot of photos of naked statues while over in Vegas. I never thought though that they would make great subjects for paintings. No, I'm not going to turn those photos into works of art, my days of painting are over. Nope, instead I'm going to use my trusty Apple MacBook Air 11.6-Inch LaptopLaptop Computers) and the AutoPainter Express to do all the hard work for me.
Let's have a look at what a naked woman would look like in the eyes of the great Van Gogh.

"Precision viticulture" refers to a technology-laden mission to optimize and equalize grape quality at a local level, decreasing variability plot-by-plot, potentially even plant-by-plant. By collecting data on water use, vine vigor, temperature, soil conditions, and other parameters at multiple points across a vineyard, vignerons can understand how different areas of the vineyard are differing in their performance and, consequently, irrigate or fertilize or prune or harvest or what-have-you differently to suit. Affordable GPS systems, high-tech mapping with geographic information systems (GIS), and lots of spiffy little wireless sensors have made all of this possible and even reasonably practical for vineyards within the past several years (Australia's national Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation has been notably pushing PV adoption in that country). Oddly enough, though, I hadn't really thought about what an equivalent "precision winemaking" strategy might look like before a week or two ago.
A week or two ago I paid my first visit (of many, I expect) to Central Otago, New Zealand's most southerly wine region, famous for pinot noir, Wild West-style scenery, and hordes of international backpackers. When I made arrangements to stop by Felton Road, I was warned that I wouldn't be able to meet Blair Walter, the winemaker, because he planned to rack that day. (Rack = remove wine from one container to another, most often for the purpose of separating it from the lees, the dead yeast cells and other particles that collect at the bottom of the barrel or tank.) When I learned how he was racking — he found a few minutes to come out and talk in between barrels — the first thing that came to mind was, "gosh, this sounds like precision winemaking." If precision viticulture is approaching the vineyard on a vine-by-vine basis, then precision winemaking seems as though it should be approaching wine on a barrel-by-barrel basis. Far from technology-laden, though, Walter's method is simple, elegant, and light on gadgetry.
Their pinot noir is made like this:
1. Crush grapes into stainless steel fermenter tanks. Ferment.
2. Press and transfer wine to barrel. Let wine sit in barrel until February (in Otago, that's about ten months after harvest).
3. Rack wine off lees, out of barrel and into tanks.
4. Bottle.
Racking happens only once. Walter says that everything that comes out of the barrel during that single racking goes into the bottle. With that single control point before bottling, he sounds fairly obsessive about ensuring sure that he sees everything that comes out of those barrels. Unsurprisingly, he uses a Bulldog Pup, a clever little racking wand that moves wine by positive displacement instead of active pumping. Positive displacement functionally pushes — "displaces" — the wine out of the barrel by filling the barrel with gas. The barrel is sealed save for a tube pushing the gas in and the tube letting the wine out so that pumping in gas increases the pressure inside the barrel; the wine has nowhere to go but out the exit tube. Bulldog Pups are far more gentle than any pump. They can also virtually eliminate oxygen exposure during racking when nitrogen or argon is used to do the pushing.
Neither of those is Walters' main reason for using the Pup. He even uses plain-old forced atmospheric air, replete with oxygen, to push. After ten months undisturbed in barrel, the wine can use the oxygen exposure. His reason for racking this way is so that he can watch the wine as it comes up the tube (through a conveniently placed sight glass) and decide on a barrel-by-barrel basis what to leave behind. Bulldog Pups have a foot that will automatically shut off flow at a pre-set level: a winemaker can decide to leave four inches of lees in each barrel, set the foot appropriately, and then leave the cane to mind itself while his attention is elsewhere. Walters doesn't automate, and the only person who racks is him.
Walters' approach reminded me of what his colleague Gareth King, Felton Road's viticulturist, said about how he practices precision viticulture. The man doesn't seem to want for much, but when we encountered the harvest crew coming in from a morning vineyard walk, he said, "You know my best technology? They just walked past us."
I can't say what difference GPS sensors versus summer interns might make, but I can say that Felton Road's pinots were among the best I tasted. Central Otago pinots can be a bit clunky, but Felton Road's are texturally lighter and more elegant, with plenty of clean raspberry and strawberry aromas up front backed up with enough earthiness and tannins to keep things interesting. The 2012 Bannockburn and 2012 Cornish Point bottlings seemed to walk that balance of lightness and structure particularly well.
Precision viticulture is veritably new. It's downright revolutionary, really, in terms of how it changes the way vignerons can think about vineyard management. But technology isn't the only way to pay attention to details. The old-fashioned strategy of carefully and consistently observing what's happening with individual vines isn't an exact substitute for GPS-enabled water uptake meters: the technology is more precise and lets the vineyard manager put his eyes in a lot of different places at the same time — and collect data in his sleep or during family meals, which has to be a real boon. And I can imagine monitoring individual barrels with some kind of wireless oxygen sensor that can track and measure differences between how each barrel transmits oxygen — since every barrel is unique in this respect — and lets winemakers make corresponding individualized adjustments. No amount of careful personal attention could do that.
But Walters' version of precision winemaking and King's version of precision viticulture will serve as a good reminder for me every time I read a journal article or press release about some nifty new precision gadget. Some of the best technology comes on two legs.

This week, Papa Kenn reviews Sacha Baron Cohen's latest film guaranteed to offend your mom, The Dictator!
"The Dictator"
Director: Larry Charles
Writers: Sacha Baron Cohen, Alec Berg, David Mandel, Jeff Schaffer
Starring: Sacha Baron Cohen, Anna Faris and Ben Kingsley
Review Transcript:
So if you take the movie Borat, replace the documentary style with regular movie footage, replace the unscripted "real-life-interaction" situations with an actual plot, and replace the idiot journalist Borat with a dictator from a fictional African country that is not only an idiot, but a complete ******* as well (mostly anyway), you kind of get a basic idea of what The Dictator is all about.
At this time, The Dictator is riding the proverbial line between Rotten and Fresh on RottenTomatoes.com at around 60%. Despite Roger Ebert's claim that Cohen is "the best comic filmmaker now working", I had low expectations. But it was either this or Battleship, the movie Michael Bay handed off to his understudy because even he was too embarrassed to be a part of it.
Low and behold, I was surprised to see that this movie was overall quite funny! Well, probably about 60% of the time it was quite funny anyway. The good parts of the humor, which normally revolved around Admiral General Aladeen being a complete ******** to everyone around him, ranged from "chuckle-worthy" to "doubled-over with laughter" laughter. The rest however, fall incredibly flat and are extremely awkward, though not in a funny way unfortunately. It's this inconsistency that really brings the film down, but the good parts can help you forgive (though not really forget) those.
In true Cohen form, the plot is overall negligible. While only moderately more developed than Borat, there are "sincere" moments of slight character development that somehow manage to humanize Aladeen enough for him to become somewhat of a sympathetic character. A lot of this is thrown out the window however, when he continues to be his normal offensive self.
Did I mention that this movie is offensive? Because it is. Extremely. In order to see this movie and guarantee that you won't be offended (no guarantees whether you actually find it funny), you must have an open mind and be willing to laugh at everything, even the jokes that hit home for you personally. If Cohen is anything, he's an equal opportunity insulter. And really, if you can laugh at all of the racist jokes, but can't handle jabs at your particular race/creed/religion/orientation, then you're the definition of a hypocrite.
Realistically, you already know whether you want to see The Dictator or not based on the trailers and Cohen's movies that have come out before. For those that are considering seeing it, I'll break it down so that you can get maximum enjoyment from your experience:
1) Go in with low expectations. No matter what I score it, no matter what Roger Ebert or your favorite critics might say, have low expectations of this movie.
2) Don't compare it to Bruno. I never saw that movie, but have heard enough about it to know that it sucked. This movie isn't great, but it doesn't suck.
3) You will be offended at some point. Just suck it up and laugh along.
4) Have a snack on hand. The majority of "blah" humor starts around the 10-15 minute mark. Just grin and bear it, because the good stuff will be worth your while.
And that's it! Not much else to say. No outstanding performances by anyone involved, although Ben Kingsley was enjoyable. Anna Farris is ok, but her character is mostly just a bit role.
If you usually enjoy Cohen's stuff, you won't be disappointed by The Dictator. If not, trust me when I say that there are funnier movies to be seen.
I give Bora- I mean The Dictator: 6 out of 10
I'm Papa Kenn, and I'll see you next review. Hopefully in my usual format.

JAPAN 82N: Joys and Pains of Growing Up and Older in Japan
What do old and young people share in common? With a focus on Japan, a country with a large long-living population, this seminar spotlights older people's lives as a reflectiion of culture and society, history, and current social and personal changes. Through discussion of multidisciplinary studies on age, analysis of narratives, and films, we will gain a closer understanding of Japanese society and the multiple meanings of growing up and older. Students will also create a short video/audio profile of an older individual, and we will explore cross-cultural comparisons. Held in Knight Bldg. Rm. 201.

JAPAN 110: Romance, Desire, and Sexuality in Modern Japanese Literature (FEMGEN 110J, FEMGEN 210J, JAPAN 210)
This class is structured around three motifs: love suicide (as a romantic ideal), female desire, and same-sex sexuality. Over the course of the quarter we will look at how these motifs are treated in the art and entertainment from three different moments of Japanese history: the Edo period (1615-1868), the modern period (1920-65), and the contemporary period (1965-present). We will start by focusing on the most traditional representations of these topics. Subsequently, we will consider how later artists and entertainers revisited the conventional treatments of these motifs, informing them with new meanings and social significance. We will devote particular attention to how this material comments upon issues of gender, sexuality, and human relationships in the context of Japan. Informing our perspective will be feminist and queer theories of reading and interpretation.

JAPAN 138: Introduction to Modern Japanese Literature and Culture (JAPAN 238)
This class introduces key literary texts from Japan's modern era (1868-present), locating these works in the larger political, social, and cultural trends of the period. Primary texts include: Futabatei Shimei's Floating Clouds, Higuchi Ichiyô's Child's Play, Natsume Sôseki's Kokoro, Kobayashi Takiji's Cannery Boat, Ôe Kenzaburô's The Catch, and Yoshimoto Banana's Kitchen. Examination of these literary works will be contextualized within larger political trends (e.g., the modernization program of the Meiji regime, the policies of Japan's wartime government, and postwar Japanese responses to the cold war), social developments (e.g., changing notions of social class, the women's rights movement, and the social effects of the postwar economic expansion), and cultural movements (e.g., literary reform movement of the 1890s, modernism of the 1920s and 30s, and postmodernism of the 1980s). The goal of the class is to use literary texts as a point of entry to understand the grand narrative of Japan's journey from its tentative re-entry into the international community in the 1850s, through the cataclysm of the Pacific War, to the remarkable prosperity of the bubble years in the 1980s.

With a musical lineage that alludes to Van Morrison, Stiff Little Fingers, Ash and very little else of note, Belfast isn't exactly the hotbed of talent its capital status city deserves.
It's barely a surprise then that when commentators talk of provincial scenes emanating around the UK's major cities, Belfast finds itself skipped over time and time again. While something of a sad state of affairs in general, it also means that when a genuinely exciting prospect raises its head above the parapet every once in a while, there's a huge sigh of relief as well as the sort of adrenaline rush that normally greets the winning goal in a World Cup Final.
Take Belfast three-piece Girls Names, an outfit whose music is stamped with numerous musical reference points from the Eighties, yet simultaneously still manages to sound so fresh and incumbent despite such similarities. Although the age old saying suggests that talent borrows where genius steals, it would be difficult to accuse Girls Names of doing either to the extent where any claims of plagiarism could be justified. Instead, You Should Know By Now is the sound of a band steadily finding its feet while doing its utmost to emulate the live show that's attracted such recognition.
For the most part, You Should Know By Now succeeds, mixing the energetic buzzsaw pop of 'Bloodwell' and 'Oh Girl!'(think The Mighty Lemon Drops with Shin Ei fuzz wahs) with a more plaintive semi-acoustic stroll down Edwyn Collins and Robert Forster's backyard ('Graveyard' and 'Running Scared' to name but two), Beat Happening's Black Candy playing merrily in the distance. Add to this a frantic enthusiasm that conjures up images of a youthful David Gedge honed up in his mum's spare room in Leeds sometime round '87 and you're heading for the vicinity where Girls Names obviously set their stall out.
Of course there will be those who will use such traits described above as a means of detraction, but without getting embroiled in a game of chicken and egg, let's instead celebrate the fact that a band so youthful can take the music of their elders into the modern day without so much as a blank of an eyelid. What's more, it actually sounds like they stumbled across their nuances by accident, which makes You Should Know By Now an even more enthusiastically timeless bundle of joy.
Even more impressively, at just eight songs and little over a quarter of an hour in total, there's absolutely zero chance of boredom setting in.

Ernie Whitt for General Manager!
But the real fireworks tonight were on the post-game show, and we can only hope that Wilner gets the thing posted soon so that you can hear the lunacy for yourself.
One particularly well-informed caller complained about J.P.'s lack of GM skills, then suggested that Ernie Whitt should be named the General Manager (not Manager, mind you, but GM!) We get the fact that sometimes, these alleged Jays fans are looking for any port in a storm to sort out what ails the team, but this has to rank up there with the all-time nuttiest ideas ever. (Not just on JaysTalk...we're talking in the history of the world.)
Wilner was so flabbergasted, he actually thought out loud "I don't know how much longer this being nice to the callers thing can last." (That might not be it word for word, but it is pretty much what he meant.)
The audio should be up in the familiar Rogers Radio digital confines later tonight, so go have a listen, and check out the subsequent pro-Ernie calls.
In a season that has been decidedly "meh", the JaysTalk callers never disappoint with their abilities to provide highly entertaining nonsensical pontifications.
Speaking of "meh"
A.J.'s mohawk? Lame. It's like he went to get a hair cut, but the strip through the middle opted out.
(In our head, that was way funnier).
Radio silence?
We're off on a secret mission for a week or so, but will be checking in as time permits.
We're traversing time zones, so cut us a little slack if we're not necessarily on top of the latest news and notes.
Don't you forget about we.
8 comments:
That's even dumber than when a caller in the late 90's (back when Scott Ferguson was manning the phones on JaysTalk) suggested they could solve their middle infield problems by playing Carlos Delgado at second base. I know it seems like a lot to remember a 10 year old call, but that kind of stupidity sticks with you.

I feel bad for Mike, it's gotta be frustrating dealing with some of those people that write/call in, and it probably drives him nuts. I wrote a comment yesterday, pretty much agreeing with a point of his and expanding on it, and his reply was to disagree with me. I think the crazies have got him spinning in circles.
- May 23, 2008 at 10:41 AM
I'm extremely perplexed at AJ's deepening embrace of the trappings of white trash culture. Can't remember what player it was that said he had the worst taste in music of anyone in the clubhouse, too.
Just goes to show you that making millions of dollars will not buy you any class.

Is McNabb going to play sunday or rest til week 3?
Dude... you like the same teams I like:
Lakers, Angels, and Eagles... Lol... thats pretty cool!
Well I personally hope McNabb doesnt play. He needs his rest and if McNabb is feeling "ok" right now, Id rather give him the week off so he's good to go against weak [expletive] KC. True, its gonna be tough to beat the Saints with a McNabb-less team, but it IS a home game and who knows? Maybe Kolb shines and his trade value goes even higher! Im sure our D will step it up... and if you stop Drew Brees, you stop the Saints.
BTW, epic thread. I thought I was the only Laker and Eagle fan on here bsides the dude with the Vick avy...

I dont like his arrogance though. Dont get me wrong, Im a big D-Jack fan, and I went electric when I hear he was drafted by us, but his arrogance dissapoints me a bit.
Nevertheless, dude's a beast! Another TD, and a total of 155 yards today. 140 of em, being reception yards!

App Review: Tap Tap Revenge 3 by Tapulous
by luke on
October 27, 2009
Filed under Daily App Reviews, Entertainment, Games, Staff Favorites
Tap Tap Revenge 3 was by far the most anticipated game on the app store this month. And to me, it was worth the wait. After introducing push notifications in the last "version" (TTR 2.6), there was a lot of negative feedback. Tapulous say they have looked at the problem, and push works in Tap Tap 3.
What I really love about this game is the layout. At the title menu, you scroll along the "wheel" to select your gameplay. Career, the new quick play function, online, or two player. Tapulous have (and I think this is great) included avatars in this version. As well as the track store option, you can choose to buy avatar items such as guitars, backgrounds and clothes. At first, I thought you had to buy in-game currency with real life cash, but my heart quickly started beating again when I found out that you earn coins by completing songs in a reasonable position. Another new feature is levels. Now, Tapulous kind of introduced this feature in Tap Tap 2.x, but said it was experimental. In online play, you earn exp, and like most games, level up. At higher levels, you can enter better rooms with people more your caliber. What I also like is at the end of an online session, the winner is displayed at the top. It also says how many coins/exp he/she earned. If you tap the chat tab at the top of the online menu, you can chat with other players currently in your session. This is a feature that everyone wanted in Tap Tap 2.x.
Moving on to the actual gameplay, each song has it's own unique, original theme. Tapulous have completely re-designed the structure of it. Special tappers, normal tappers, shakers, everything has a new image. Also in online gameplay, you can see the current players avatars at the top rightof the screen. Every now and then one might move up or down. This is good, because instead of it just saying what place you are out of x amount of people, you can actually see that person you wanted to beat, or that noob that everybody thrashes.
In every aspect of the game, tapulous have completely changed everything. Some may say it's bad, but the majority of people I asked thought the changes were for the better. In conclusion, Tap Tap Revenge 3 has original, well thought out gameplay, but lacks the loading speeds that you may find in other apps. This is mainly because the online section is hosted on the web, not downloaded into the app itself. That means, every time you switch pages, you are downloading a different page. This could be improved by building in the online section, so we can move between sessions quicker! But most importantly, the price. Tap Tap Revenge 3 is in the $0.99 category, so be sure to snap it up before the price is raised! Thanks, Tapulous, for an excellent game!
