Ignore my argument - large stripes should work well. Mea culpa, I forgot how simple the parity thing is, and that it is "local".However, since seeking will be limited by the checksum drive anyway (for writing), the advantages of large stripes in trying to keep the disks independent aren't as one-sided.

(CNN)There is a small army occupying the streets of Cleveland during the Republican National Convention this week.
Federal, state and local law enforcement have taken over the city's downtown, as iron and concrete barriers throttle typically bustling thoroughfares and choke off pedestrian outlets in the 1.7 square mile "event zone" surrounding the Quicken Loans Arena.
"What we're seeing here is a militarized state," Cindy Wiesner, an activist with the Grassroots Global Justice Alliance, told CNN on Tuesday. Amnesty International USA, which has human rights observers on the ground in Cleveland, said in a statement that their "delegation noted a heavy police presence that sometimes outnumbered protesters."
Snow plows have popped up in the 80-degree summer heat, strategically placed to block automobile access to closed off streets. An estimated 2,500 police officers, shuttled in from around the country to supplement the 550-strong local force assigned to guard the convention, are fanned out across the city. Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said last week that 3,000 more federal agents would join them.
Tuesday afternoon, uniformed police on foot, bike and horseback entered, closed off and surrounded Public Square, one of the few public spaces open to licensed demonstrations, as socialists threatened Westboro Baptist Church members as a group protesting police violence tried to make themselves heard over the din.
A smaller coalition of anarchists peeled off from the gathering and attempted to march on the convention hub, but a phalanx of officers blocked their narrow path. What followed was a cat-and-mouse game, with some shouting but no arrests, that ended farther away from the arena than when it began -- on another closed off avenue.

Fly fishing in Slovakia Part 1 - fly fishing paradise in in the heart of Europe
Slovakia is one of few not so much known excellent fly-fishing destinations in Europe. Slovakia is often being confused with Slovenia, but its quality of rivers can be easily compared to those popular in Slovenia.
Thanks to the fact, that Slovakian rivers are not so famous as Austrian, German, Czech or Slovenian one, they do not stand under huge fishing pressure.
Slovakia has the most national parks per square kilometre and due to this circumstance lot of untouched river systems. This makes Slovakia truly great fly fishing destination for fly fishermen, who enjoy pure nature.
These facts are underline with the world highest productivity (insect-diversity and insect-quantity per m2) of Slovakian mountain rivers.
Diversity of Slovakian water systems: big rivers, lakes, reservoirs, mountain rivers, creeks or mountain lakes - all what passionate fly fisherman can just think of, is offered by Fly Fishing in Slovakia.
We are looking forward to your visit

3PLs: Going Global
Not only do some global 3PLs – like UPS – have existing infrastructure in global markets, they also have the in-country expertise to help companies navigate trade regulations, get products to end customers and provide post-sales services
3PLs: Going Global
Supply chains start when someone, somewhere reaches for their wallet. Increasingly, this will happen outside the U.S. in "mega cities," observes Alan Amling, UPS global director contract logistics marketing.
"Today, China has about 90 cities with more than 250,000 middle class consumers," he says "By 2020, China will have more than 400 cities with a quarter million middle class residents – 50 will have more than a million!"
He notes that as companies position to capitalize on this demand, their 3PL partners need to ensure they have the right infrastructure and expertise in place to facilitate these business strategies.
"A key value that 3PLs can provide shippers is market knowledge across multiple regions and industries," says Amling. "Another value is to help companies take advantage of the growth opportunities they decide to pursue."
Not only do some global 3PLs – like UPS – have existing infrastructure in global markets, they also have the in-country expertise to help companies navigate trade regulations, get products to end customers and provide post-sales services.
Should that keep domestic 3PLs from "going global"? Amling doesn't think so.
"If the 3PL strategy is to provide an end-to-end experience for shippers, they have to enter this arena. As supply chains become more global and more complex, we're seeing a trend toward companies reducing the number of 3PLs they use, but expecting these 3PLs to do more."
That said, there is a lot of opportunity in the market and putting up a global network may not be the right move for all 3PLs, adds Amling. He notes that there will continue to be opportunity for local and regional providers to be integral components of company supply chains:
"The real question is with 95% of the world's consumers now outside the U.S., can domestic shippers afford to avoid going global?"
Dr. Philipp Biermann, an analyst with the global strategy and marketing consultancy Simon-Kucher & Partners, in Bonn, Germany, notes that there's still considerable risk for 3PLs when taking shippers into this new dimension.
"When addressing the current state of logistics in the 3PL arena, we must emphasize the importance of total cost of ownership." he says. "Especially in supply chain management. We are aware of various examples where procurement departments forced 3PLs into unprofitable contracts. At the end of the day some of these suppliers got bailed by the consignee."
According to Biermann 3PLs can mitigate this risk by taking a "step-by-step mind shift" towards systematic pricing.
"Some 3PLs realize that an extra two percent in prices will often double profits. We see less willingness to accept unmet shipper's volume commitments. However, we should keep in mind that you cannot turn around a large logistics company or an entire industry overnight."
Therefore, says Biermann, 3PLs must embark on a new professional pricing model.
"Professional pricing requires a transformation process that is linked to tools and guidelines, people, and ultimately strategy," he says. "It took more advanced sectors such as software and pharmaceuticals decades to achieve pricing excellence, and they are still trying to become better at protecting their margins."

"small wheel or roller," late 14c., from Anglo-French trocle, from Latin trochlea "a small wheel, sheaf of a pulley," from Greek trokhileia "a pulley," from trokhos "wheel," from trekhein "to run," from PIE root *dhregh- "to run" (cf. Old Irish droch "wheel," Lithuanian pa-drosti "to run fast"). Truckle bed "small bed on wheels that can be stowed under a larger bed" is from mid-15c.
"give up or submit tamely," 1610s, "sleep in a truckle bed" (see truckle (n.)). Meaning "give precedence, assume a submissive position" (1650s, implied in truckling) is perhaps in reference to that type of bed being used by servants and inferiors, or from it simply occupying the lower position.

My question is this, in order to record the multi tracks onto my pc, do I still need the mic. I dont want to add vocals or anything I just want to record what ive made. Does anyone know how to do this. Or do I need the mic anyway. I thought that I would only need a mic if I was adding vocals, is this correct ---------- Post added at 16:08 ---------- Previous post was at 16:06 ---------- PS> or if anyone knows a good sampling / editing system that I can do this with this would also be good.

accessibility & help
Incredibly, there are still slaves and trafficking victims all over the world, including in the UK.
Here's what you probably don't know about 21st century slavery – and the how the Red Cross is responding.
Survivors of trafficking and exploitation are hugely vulnerable. They may require help from a range of Red Cross services.
Our emergency response teams often set up reception centres for exploited and potentially trafficked people, once local police or the National Crime Agency (NCA) identify them. These are open 24 hours a day for a short-term period. Inside, we:
People who are trafficked are often separated from their families, and sometimes unable to find them. We can help them look for their loved ones.
Our refugee support teams come across people who have been trafficked into or around the UK or are vulnerable to being trafficked. We support people with subsequent issues, as well as their need for protection and asylum.
The Modern Slavery Act 2015 contains a requirement to publish an annual slavery and human trafficking statement. Download our corporate statement under the Act.
We have been developing support services for survivors of trafficking since 2009.
Since 2014 we have been training our staff and volunteers to recognise and help trafficked people through the PROTECT project. This was funded through the Prevention of and Fight against Crime programme of the European Union (ISEC).
In 2016 we partnered with Forum Refugies (France) who are leading in a project called TRACKS (identification of TRafficked Asylum seeKers' Special needs) co-funded by the European Commission. In the UK we are working closely with the Human Trafficking Foundation, UK-IMR, UNHCR, POPPY and AIRE Centre.
We are increasingly seeing asylum seekers who have been trafficked. Trafficking survivors should be identified as a specific, vulnerable group within the asylum process.
They should have tailored support and special measures in place to ensure that they are properly protected, supported and not re-traumatised as a result of seeking asylum. This applies to both procedures and reception conditions.
This is enshrined in the revised Reception Directive of June 2013 that came into force on 21 July 2015. While the UK is not bound to this, special conditions are commonly recognised as best practice in line with EU human rights standards.
The TRACKS project aims to improve the support to trafficked asylum seekers in the asylum process (procedural and reception conditions) by:
The TRACKS project will be developing capacity-building workshops to help frontline staff adopt special measures for trafficked asylum seekers. Please contact us for more information using the email addresses below.

5 Best Horror Movie Deaths Of 2006
The 5 best horror movie deaths of 2006 might make you want to hide in your popcorn. The horror movie genre is known for brutal scenes of death and these are the best for the year. While some of the moments are darkly funny, they are still twisted moments of death.
Josh's death scene in "Hostel".The horror movie is about three college students who are backpacking through Europe and then fall victims to a deranged killer who's dream was to be a surgeon. Josh wakes up in his boxers and handcuffed to a chair. The killer first tortures him by drilling into his chest above his nipples. Afterwards the killer pretends to release him but really cuts Josh's Achilles tendons. Josh falls when he tries to stand and then the killer brutally slits his throat.
The opening scene in "Gravedancers". You know it's a good movie when someone dies at the opening. The audience doesn't even know the young woman's name but they watch her attacked and the hung in the stair way of her house. As the woman dies she drops a black envelope.
The death of the campers in "The Hills have Eyes". This is one of the best horror movies of 2006. This death scene is so great because right before the killing starts an old lady beats one of the mutants in the head with a broom. A death scene is always better when the victim fights back and it being a little old lady with a broom makes it just that much better.
The death of William Carlton in "Wicked Little Things". It's the story of a town haunted by zombie children that died in a mining accident in 1913. The children were forced to work by the cruel owner of the Carlton mine. In the end they get their revenge on his ancestor and kill him at the end of the movie.
The deaths of Sam and Colleen in "Dark Ride". Are you afraid of amusement parks? You will be after this movie. The plot centers on a killer at an amusement park. The movie opens to the brutal death of the two young teenagers.

Tourism slump in The Bay area is due to mothers, says study
Where man always bites dog

Problems playing this file? You might be a dope.
Down By The Bay, Where The Watermelons Grow -- It appears that the old adage "Down by the bay, down by the bay, where the watermelons grow, where the watermelons grow, I dare not go, I dare not go, for if I do, for if I do, my mother will say 'have you ever seen a whale, chewing its own tail?'" has been taken to heart by millions of tourists. In a recently released recent study by The Study Group (based out of Prince Edward Island) the recent plunge in tourism to The Bay area of the world is completely the fault of mothers, and what potential tourists are worried their mothers might say. The Study Group conducted polls all across Northern Eastern and South Northern America asking people of different social backgrounds what it was that they were indeed afraid that their mothers might say.
When interviewed by UnNews, a scientist, who specializes in anonymous comments to the media, told us that this problem has been bubbling under the surface for many years, since "that episode of Scooby Doo...you remember...that one with Captain Cutler's Ghost? Yah. That episode single-handedly robbed something like $1,003,000 dollars from the hard working tourist codler of The Bay area during 1969." Other scientists agreed.
The most shocking piece of information in this report, is all of the information, but most of all the recommendations. The Study Group suggests that The Bay area reinvent its entire image. Their first suggestion is a "final solution" of sorts, and in great detail describes how to get men pregnant, thus allowing for the complete eradication of the females of the human species. The other suggestions are all the same, the lyrics to "It's A Small World After All".

August 3, 2012
Close your eyes jaded festival-goer, take a deep cleansing breath, and let all your preconceptions melt away. Now, imagine a spacious organic farm, adjacent to acres of wooded northwest hillside. Colored string lights code the forest pathways. Vibrant temporary encampments sprout between trees. Okay… so it's also fuckin' HOT outside and people are everywhere, but they're lovely, genuinely pleasant people and they're contently smiling: they're lying in hammocks with their babies; they're canoodling with their lovers inside tents. They're encircling their campsites with homemade batik flags (like the best kind of hippies). They're catching up with old friends, they're crackin' jokes, and they're sharing gourmet sour-cherry-french-toast (made on the spot) with you/a-stranger/a-campsite-neighbor.
You pass a band of beautiful filthy children. They offer to cool you with a spritz from their water bottles. You accept the gift of IPA from the neighboring campsite's keg. Maybe you have some free water ("free" meaning plentiful and no charge). You run into people that you know (and actually like) on a hiking trail leading to your new camp home. You throw a blanket in the pine needles. You rest in. You lie there. Sprawled out in an old growth forest, open, arms around your plus-one, under the canopy of Doug Firs, you listen to some nearby neighbors harmonizing together. They're actually serenading you with love songs (cheesy & funny). Their beautiful, surprisingly excellent, voices sing everything from Hall & Oats to Built to Spill; it's a silly concert just for you.
What now? Do you rise up from this blissful spot to seek some delicious, reasonably priced (some would say inexpensive) local, sustainable food? Do you stroll down the pathways to get a closer taste of Danny Paisley & the Southern Grass? Do you dare indulge in a ($5) shower & massage to start your adventure clean and subtle? What is this place with delicious ice cream sandwiches, its own circus school for kids, and 6 stages of music ranging from garage rock to classic blue grass?
It's Pickathon!! Just outside of Portland, for three to five days a year, in Happy Valley Oregon (a well named — and not a made up location), there is a fleeting festival Shangri-La erected on 80 acres of organic family farm. The Pendarvis family has been hosting this pleasant gathering for 13 years. It is family supported, with the help of some key–mostly local and nearly invisible–corporate sponsorship.
The people in charge of the marketing and planning of this event are thoughtful and thorough. A tribe has been carefully engineered around these concepts:
Do unto the festival-goer as you would want done unto you:
- The temporary city that is Pickathon provides amenities that I have pined for at other festivals. Basic facilities for hygiene, human interaction, and eating & drinking are plentiful and affordable. A variety of local food offerings serve everything from vegan pastries to homemade Basque chorizo (ranging from $3-$9). The water is free and available (which I already mentioned above, but it's so humane that I have to mention it again). Hand-washing stations with actual running water (hot & cold) are also located throughout the premises. Showers are open from 7am-10pm. There are places to get out of the sun, quiet camp zones for families, a pay-what-you-can first aid station, bags of ice available for purchase at the merchandise tables, and plenty of fun activities for the cool kids (meaning the under 12 years old set). I know that's it's unbelievable, but it's all true.
Variety is the Spice of Indie-Roots Life:
- Unless you're a dedicated candy raver, juggalo, gangsta rapper, complete moron, or a whiny snob, you will find some music that you can groove to at this event. The offerings are diverse; from the hard driving punk tinged sounds of Thee Oh Sees to the old-timey banjo murder ballads of Abagail Washburn. You will find something interesting that you weren't looking for. There is something for most. But, there are so many interesting acts playing at the same time that you might worry about missing something. Don't fear missing out! Here are two good reasons not to stress about missing your favorite act:
- Most performers play more than once (perhaps late Friday night and maybe early Sunday morning), and you can also catch most acts at very different venues (say, on a small stage deep in the woods, while lying in a hammock, or in a massive field, while dancing your heart out).
- Don't stress, even if you did (ahem… like me) sleep through an act that you aimed to see. The success of your experience at this music festival will not be wholly reliant on the musical line-up. The schedule is good as any. But, while many/most music festivals rely on their acts to bring in the crowds, this festival's culture is a reason in itself to attend.
As evidence to the last statement, nearly every performer that I saw spent some good stage time earnestly thanking Pickathon for inviting them, and talking about what a rare and excellent experience we were all part of.
Tread lightly on the earth and on the Pendarvis Meadows & Forests:
- What is micro-trash? We learned that it's the tiny little bits of debris that humans leave behind, and Pickathon wants none of it! The green aim of this festival is set from the first "please throw away some micro-trash" signage and is authentically carried through the event in endless non-puritanical ways. Everyone's favorite sustainable touch is the system of ten dollar wooden tokens. This magic token meant that any of a variety of (popular & local) food-truck vendors would fill a recycled souvenir plate-bowl for us to use. After we filled our bellies, we would simply drop our food-ware at a dishwashing station. No single use crap for us to feel poorly about, no dishes for us to do, and we got to keep a clean souvenir plate-bowl to take home.
The organizers of this event are doing something realyl special here, because the reality is that I HATE festivals. Just the idea of listening to drunk people shout at each other while I wait in an enormous porta-potty line, before drinking a $8 bottle of water, and consuming a $10 hot dog makes me borderline suicidal, but that nightmare is noticeably absent at Pickathon. You're treated like an intelligent human that deserves basic hygiene. The diverse offerings insure that you're probably going to see something wonderful that you likely have never seen before. And, somehow, those loud, drunk, self-involved festival-idiot-regulars that push/cut in line, litter, or fall down drunk into you don't exist in this crowd. My only disappointment is that this event has somehow escaped my attention for last 12 years.
Interested? The following is a diary of my experience at the 2012 Pickathon Festival, including a brief survival-guide, with my must-do list for next year. [I'm already planning for next year!]
Day One [8/3/12]
10:00am(ish) – The road to someplace:
My boyfriend, Jamie & I leave Seattle later than we had hoped. We've skimmed the online recommendations for Pickathon, but are still unsure if we've packed too little or too much. We make a stop to pick up my daughter's all-terrain Radio Flyer wagon. Wagon's are recommended on the online Pickathon Survival Guide. My tiny Suzuki is jam packed. Off we go!
12:30pm – Eat it, support veterans, choose pancakes, and beat it:
An hour or so outside of Pickathon and we're starving. We pull off the road to the American Café', a small diner with a large gravel parking lot and a restroom around the back of the building. It was just off of the highway. I don't remember what city it's in or even the exact name of it; I think it's "the American Café." You'll know it by the floor to ceiling framed images of veterans (from WWI to present), the choice of pancakes or toast with your giant brunch (which delighted Jamie), and by the servers who are either way too sweet or completely sassy (in that great old school diner sarcasm way). Our server Nate (?) harasses us while we grin.
1:30pm – Finding the festival:
Satiated and jolly, we continue on driving outside of Portland, then debate whether we're anywhere near the festival. The blinky blue sphere on my phone looks promising, but we don't see any traffic, disorder or commotion. At last, we see a Pickathon sign in a dirt lot on our left. There still isn't any commotion. There are, however, happy helpers in Pickathon T-shirts. We follow the waving arms of the parking attendants. This is where we pick up tickets and get information. Jamie stands in a general admission line, which is fairly long, but it's moving. I mock him as I prance up to the press table. The helpers are helpful. I get my press-pass-wristband and directions to the general parking area.
I have three fairly carefree days with my fella ahead of me. No work, no work, or work. Only two obligations: take pictures & write about whatever I see fit. I also have amazing access at this event. The Pickathon back stage situation is deluxe (it includes free ice cream, beer, and massages, but more on that later). All this good stuff and free time makes me feel like a super hero with the superpower of being obnoxious.
I can't find my boyfriend through the winding will-call line. I start to shout "Marco….?" Then I hesitate. I am intent on embarrassing myself. Suddenly, I feel like my own Jewish Grandmother–so embarrassing–only this time it's me that's embarrassing me. Before I can pretend that I didn't say "Marco…?" I hear "Polo!" from the back of the line. It is the voice of a lady that I don't know. Conveniently, she is standing in front of Jamie. I sheepishly apologize for being annoying. She introduces herself and her husband Marc (that she sometimes calls Marco). She then informs us that they play the same finding game in a large crowd. Only they have a twist: one of them shouts "Nacho" the other shouts "Bravo." They explain that they actually have a certain friend with this quirky name. "I have a friend with this name too," I admit excitedly. We deduce that we know the exact same friend with the fun name. What's more, "Nacho" will be joining them at Pickathon this weekend. I haven't seen my good sweet friend in years. I take this as an omen of good things to come.
2:00pm – Loading up:
We drive a short distance to the official parking lot and do our best to load ourselves up thoughtfully, settling on an uncomfortable combination of carrying, wearing, and rolling.
2:30pm – Campsite schmampsite:
We had read the online survival guide, which recommended arriving early for the best pick of camping spots. WE DECIDED NOT TO LISTEN. Instead, we took our time getting here and now we suffer the consequences. We check in at the camp host, which consists of a large map and a few dudes that point to where we might find camping. They shrug and seem uncertain. We head into the woods and wander around aimlessly. It's incredibly hot and we're being weighed down by all of our stuff. It's difficult to locate any kind of opening for a tent to fit in. I contemplate setting our tent in a small ditch of overgrown brambles, which is jammed between a half a dozen trees, but we opt against it and continue to search for any flat spot that we can find.
After 40 or so minutes of aimlessly wandering with no results, I go off on my own (with my cell phone and a blanket) and leave Jamie behind with our supplies in a pile. His ankles are suffering from the constant angle of tramping up and down hill. I am suffering from being out of shape and old. I wind all around the dusty pathways until I just give up looking for a reasonable location. Eventually, I locate a map that lays out the farthest reaches of the property. "There must be a spot high up," I think. I find a small trail which is labeled the "Back 40 Loop." Even the Back 40 is dense with tents. When I find a spot big enough for us, I get all weepy. Throwing our blanket down in the pine needles, I treat myself to a brief rest.
3:30pm – The uphill battle:
Now – somehow—we have located one another deep in the woods and are making our way back to our distant campsite. It's exhausting lugging our stuff uphill, but the wagon is a blessing. Jamie is stronger than I am, but I feel badly that he has the worst of it. We see people really struggling without wheels. Jamie helps some folks push uphill, and some other folks stop to help us push our wagon up a particularly rough patch. There are friendly folks at every turn.
4:00pm – The neighbors' house:
By the time we do actually get to our site, which, at this point, equals our blanket thrown in the woods, we are out of breath and covered in a thin layer of dirt that's sticking to our sweat. We park our wagon and drop everything else on the ground. Then we hit the ground. I lie on the blanket looking up at the pines. Jamie lies down next to me. So, we're just lying there without saying anything. It is slightly cooler down low. We lie here on our backs with our arms around each other. People are still milling around looking for spots, but we hardly notice. It's so peaceful in this moment. We look up into the old growth pines swaying. It's dorky as all get out, but it feels like we are the only two people in the world now. It's seems like time has stopped.
We consciously come to. We're pretty happy right here, so debate whether being at a music festival entails getting up from this spot to actually see the music or not.
I now notice that our campsite is actually just a wee little spot within the fringes of the complex, temporary outdoor home, constructed by our new neighbors. It's clear that they've done this Pickathon weekend before. Like many regulars to this festival, they've built themselves an elaborate set-up, which has both utility and panache. There are giant international flags creating the framework for outdoor rooms. Two large family sized tents make dorms. Hammocks, paper lanterns, an outdoor kitchen, a toileting area complete with mirror & dressing room, a music/jamming circle/living room around a large lantern (like a make-believe campfire), and kitschy framed artwork which has been lovingly nailed to the trees all make-up the scene.
I don't know how I didn't notice this before I picked our spot, but there are now a handful of twenty-somethings that we are intimately sharing our weekend with.
We listen as they jokingly harass each other about their clothing choices. One of the guys has opted for corduroys on the hottest weekend of the year. The group brainstorms alternatives based on what they have collectively packed. Bike-shorts is one of the options that he declines ("Good for you" I think). Finally, the group decides on a jersey skirt for their friend. He puts on a straw hat to complete the look. He looks great, actually.
We're on our feet putting our tent together. Our new friends introduce themselves. They're gracious, boisterous, and friendly. We let them borrow our wagon to transport their keg uphill and they offer us a cold beer. We chat a little, but decline beer for now. We make a loose hit list of bands to see and head down to the music.
5:30pm – Abagail Washburn:
A few years' back I saw Abigail Washburn open for Steve Martin. She was a highlight of that show for me, so I'm keen to see her perform as more of a main event. We make our first trip out of the woods and into festival proper, passing several stages, vendors, and services. The "Galaxy Barn" sits to the far edges of the festival grounds and is packed. Jamie and I stand outside on tiptoes trying to see over heads through the barn door. It takes me a minute to remember that I have press access to the stage. I apologetically ditch my no-access boyfriend and try to politely locate a viewing position. I see a few event workers and they're misting folks and manning the backstage entrance with smiles. They check my wrist band and are attitude free. "Go on in, there's beer and cold water" a nice blond girl says. Hesitating at first, I then make my way through the makeshift walls made of sheets. I always feel like a borderline douchebag when I have access to things that other people don't, but then I quell my Jewish guilt by reminding myself that those other folks aren't working, and that I have to think a lot harder about what I'm seeing than they do. There are kegs of beer, water dispensers, a utility sink, and various strewn bags of half empty snacks that I pass on my way to find a worn wooden door, leading to a dark nook between gear, stage left. There are five or so other people standing where I am, but they notice my camera and soundlessly invite me to the best spot.
It's nice to see Washburn as more than an opening claw-hammer act. This time she's on stage with singer songwriter, Kai Welch. On the Pickathon line-up page it states that Abigail had originally stumbled upon him while he was "playing Keyboards with the Nashville band Tommy & the Whale." Additionally, Kai contributes harmonica and guitar in support of Washburn this afternoon. They're a good compliment for each other. Like any good duo, they have the chemistry to be able to play songs and switch gears in time with barely a nod.
Her banjo driven tunes are accompanied by engaging stories about living in China, living in Tennessee, and living in Vermont while missing China. She rotates her own modern murder ballads with traditional songs from the Szechuan province. She sings in clear English, with a Southern gospel tinge, and then in fluent Chinese. She shares the story of a Chinese friend that received a letter from his wife in China, a letter which explained that his wife was leaving him and taking their child away. The song is dedicated to all of those that spend their days working hard for a better life. It's a cheesy story, but it hits home. It feels like the truth.
Washburn and Welch harmonize, whisper, belt, and yodel through an exquisite selection of songs. Then she puts down her instrument and walks to the front of the stage, welcoming what appears to be a young family member of hers. "My family is here," she says, but I don't quite catch the pre-teens girls' exact relation to her. They stand there at the edge of the small stage and Abigail invites the crowd to join them as they sing "Keys to the Kingdom" a capella. This is an intimate moment in a small space. Some of the crowd sings. Some just clap or snap along with Washburn.
Something rare is in the air here. I soon learn that most artists are spending the weekend jamming privately in small unofficial venues all over the festival grounds. For the love of actual music making, they jam in tiny huts, near stumps in the woods, and impromptu, backstage. Here is just one moment with Washburn and Welch caught backstage at the festival this year:
5:50pm – Leaving the banjo:
I am enjoying myself, but am having a hard time not feeling guilty. I'm shaded and drinking a free cold water, just feet from the stage with an unimpeded view. I see Jamie now and again through the crush outside the sliding barn door. He is the whitest guy that I know and he's standing in the direct sunlight craning for a peek at the show. This is our first festival experience together, and I don't care how gracious he is, I feel like an ass for leaving him to sunburn within the first hour. Abandoning my perfect spot, I go to meet him outside.
We check our iPhones for the online schedule, comparing it with our informal list of bands to catch. We're still trying to understand which stages have which names. Locating the large dual main stages with minimal trouble, we find a pretty decent spot and lay our blanket down in the grass. Soon we're sitting and eating local spring rolls and Thai noodles and taking in the festival scene. There are old hippies, classic Portland hepsters, moms in REI camp-skirts with kids on their hips, modern day cowboys, and plenty of ironic and non-ironic mustaches.
6:00pm- White Denim:
Christopher (Monsterfresh founder/editor) shared some recommendations with me via text. White Denim is on the list. The Pickathon line-up blurb stated that they're "danceable rock music." I also read a Guardian UK review which labels them as a "classic stoners' band." While we wait, I gloss more reviews that include the terms "complex time-signatures," "psychedelic," "fiddly," "impressive," and "guitar driven" as descriptors for this Austin quartet. Nothing that I read prepares me for the contagious joy which White Denim provide on the Fir Meadows Stage this evening. They politely take the stage, then gleefully tear it apart. Guitarist/vocalist, James Petralli is the polite part of the act. He manages to shred complex rhythms while maintaining the allure of a reluctant frontman. Even while growling through a track like "Bess St.," he appears, oddly, like the boy that your parents would be thrilled to have at dinner. But, the music conveys a mood that betrays Petralli's composed demeanor. Part jazz, jam, funk, "math-rock," alt-country and a gazillion other genres, these guys know their music history and they've blended it together, somehow pulling it off with pure rockin' joy. Guitarist Austin Jenkins is the tell, with an ear-to-ear grin like a visual megaphone of delight! I am fairly occupied with photographing Jenkins. He's having so much fun that it's hard to take my camera off of him.
They perform many off of their 2011 release, D, including "Burnished," "Anvil Everything," "It's Him," and the Pedarvis Farm-appropriate title, "At the Farm." I am enjoying White Denim. I am also enjoying the scenery. The Fir Meadows Stage is one of two main stages which are positioned side by side in festival central. A huge sculptural fabric awning shades both the stages and the crowd. Idyllic scenery abuts the festival site on every side. These guys occasionally get out-wowed by the backdrop which surrounds them. I make a note to attend a White Denim show in a smaller venue, where they can properly blow the roof off a joint.
7:00pm- Whitey Morgan:
The genius of the two main stages being placed adjacent to each other is that one band sets up while the other is playing. You could sit in one spot all weekend and see a wide variety of acts playing non-stop side-by-side. White Denim completes their set, so we turn our heads slightly to the left and we're ready to watch Whitey Morgan & the 78's. Since we're sitting here, we get to see a band that we might not otherwise have made the effort to catch. How do I explain Whitey Morgan and his mates? They are genuine unapologetic honky tonk. All beards, leather vests, and a "Thin Lizzy cover," we listen and enjoy the straightforwardness. Here is a clip of the band performing in the Galaxy Barn on the following night:
8:00pm – Typhoon:
Now we face slightly to the right for the next act. The members of Typhoon (2 violins, 2 drummers, accompanied by keyboards, guitars, electric bass, and a horn section) have set up and are ready to go. Lead singer, Kyle Morton's voice reminds me of Ezra Koenig of Vampire Weekend, but the music (in contrast to Koenig's band) has a sweet melancholic layer beneath even the most up tempo songs. Soon after they begin, we agree that they are our favorite act so far. For such a large ensemble they seem to operate as one organism. In a post from MySpoonful.com, writer, Lauren Rosenthal describes them as follows:
"The group masterfully combines indie rock instrumentals and vocals with violins, percussion, hand claps, xylophone, horns and a choir of other instruments, making for inspiring and catchy songs."
I can't describe it any better. I'll buy the album when I get home.
Here is a clip from a private session that Seattle's KEXP radio station filmed with Typhoon at Pickathon:
9:00pm – Blitzen Trapper:
It is twilight and warm outside. We walk past the car camping area and onto a wooded pathway. Giant inflatable lanterns light the entrance and strings of colored L.E.D.s illuminate each path. We're headed to the Woods Stage to see Blitzen Trapper. Here forested trails merge into a clearing. In the open space is an amphitheatre with straw-bale seating for the many and hammocks (which line the surrounding trees) for the early arrivers. The smallish stage is embraced by walls of branches. It takes some time before the band is ready to go on.
They enter the stage in the dim light. These are Portland-boys-gone-big, so the crowd is also quite large. They thank everyone. They thank Pickathon. They say they've spent two months on the road and that they're happy to be home.
I've never made an effort to see Blitzen Trapper before. Maybe it's because I don't hear their name correctly in my messed up brain–for some reason I always associate their moniker with Trapper Keepers— but, I've heard so much buzz that I'm curious and am willing to walk back into the woods to see what the big deal is all about. The big deal is this: they're great musicians and worth the hype!
Some of the most popular bands here expertly mix genres. This band vacillates between southern rock, folk and, 80's prog, and old school rock and roll. After a long day of listening to music, the thing that sets them apart is that their clothing says disheveled burnout rocker, but their performance is nearly flawless. In person (at least on this night), their sound almost comes through like a recording. They're mature, deft musicians, not a garage band of twenty-somethings. They reference 70's greats and, during the song, "Astronaut," they even remind me a bit of late 70s Elton John. They cover "Good Times, Bad Times" by Led Zeppelin and are so clean that it's almost missing something. But it's fun! People are singing and dancing. The band ends their set with the popular "Big Black Bird." The audience knows the words, dancing in the dark and shouting a chorus of "Heave ho…" Before leaving the stage, they thank everyone for coming, taking a moment to inform us about how much this festival means to them. "Give it up for the crew that made this possible," says lead singer Eric Early. There's no doubt that we're lucky to be here.
11:00pm – The Rest:
We've had a full day. We choose to skip the three other things that we could be seeing and opt to rest a little. There'll be time to see all those bands again in the next few days.
1:00pm – Not the Barr Brothers:
We set our alarms for 12:30am. The Barr Brothers are scheduled to play the Starlight Stage at 1:00am. I've read that the group has a warbling folk rock sound that is best caught live. They've also been recommended by more than one friend. We're sleepy, but we rise and walk the camp ground trails to a smaller outdoor stage, which is set back behind the sound booth for the large twin stage set-up. Empty blankets informally reserve seats on the darkened fields in front of the Mountain View and Fir Meadows stages. Most people have gone to bed, but a crowd is gathered around the starlight stage. Los Cojolites is playing music. Dressed in whites and baby blues, the Veracruz band is like a cartoon mirage to my sleepy eyes.
"Where are the Barr Brothers?" We ask a nearby ukulele vendor. He makes his way toward us from behind the back curtain of an adjacent booth. "They were just on" he says. We realize that the schedule listing was wrong. At first I'm disappointed. I had set my alarm for the Barr Brothers and now, I'd hiked down to the Starlight Stage when I could be sleeping. But then I pay closer attention to the band that is performing. They're captivating–a group inspired by traditions of their native Mexico. I'm hazy, but there's no doubt that they're pleasant to watch. Jamie buys us each a slice of wood-fire pizza. Yum, these babies are just out of the mobile pizza oven. We listen to the feet dancing rhythms on a hollow wooden box which sits on the stage, and observe the ethereal Los Cojolites with hot cheese on our tongues. The sky is crusted with stars. A few songs filter through like a dream. We amble back to our tent and to bed. It's cooling down. Tomorrow, it is certain, will be another great day.

Whether you loved it or loathed it, everyone has a story to tell about their life at school.
It is these precious recollections that a group of former Sudbury Girls High School students want to tap into and, with the school they attended in the process of being demolished, the memories are all the more poignant.
Members of the Old Students' Association will meet this weekend and are hoping the reunion will provide material for a memory book that is being made about the school in York Road, which opened in 1936 and later became Uplands Middle.
"We want to get the memories flooding back," said Joyce Willis, chairman of the association.
"It is about hearing about the staff people liked, the ones which were more difficult and what former students got up to."
The group normally meets twice a year and attracts around 60 former students. Last year, it uncovered a price list for the school uniform, which was available from Winch & Blatch, and is hoping to unearth similar finds.
"I am sure there are lots of people out there who we haven't managed to get back into the fold and they must have some forgotten stories," said Mrs Willis, who lives in Ramsey Road, Hadleigh, and went to the school from 1953 to 1959.
"We have had memories of people who went to school in the Second World War and can recall being on the playing field with planes flying over head.
"There are also tales of students getting snowed in and having to find somewhere to sleep for the night."
The desire for information is now greater as the school is being knocked down.
"We are all very sad that it is being demolished," said Mrs Willis, 71.
"We realise things have to move on but we hoped it could still be used in some sort of community capacity. It will be upsetting when it is gone."

New BlackBerry model to soon hit Nunavut stores
Latest model operates on northern CDMA system "ensuring reliable service in northern communities": Northwestel
(revised 5:15 p.m.)
Nunavut smartphone customers will soon be able to get their hands on the latest BlackBerry model.
The Blackberry Curve 9350 is powered by the new BlackBerry 7 operating system and operates on the northern CDMA network, ensuring more reliable service in northern communities, Northwestel said in a March 27 news release.
CDMA, short for "Code-Division Multiple Access," is also used by Bell Mobility, while Rogers, the other big wireless provider in Canada, uses GSMC or Global System for Mobile Communications, far more common outside North America.
Although this is not the first BlackBerry available in NU that operates on the CDMA network, this is the latest one launched by BlackBerry that does, and Northwestel is the exclusive provider of it in the North.
The new BlackBerries arrived at Northwestel's Yukon headquarters March 27, where they are now being shipped out to Northern Stores in the seven Nunavut communities where the model will be available.
Those communities include Pangnirtung, Rankin Inlet, Pond Inlet, Cambridge Bay, Kugluktuk, Arviat and Baker Lake.
"Northwestel is listening to what residents of the North require in wireless products, and the new BlackBerry Curve 9350 has all the features you'd expect from a BlackBerry smartphone," said Curtis Shaw, Northwestel's vice president of marketing.
The BlackBerry 9350 offers phone, email, messaging, camera and social applications "to meet the personal and professional needs of customers across northern Canada," Shaw said.
Because Northwestel has roaming agreements with other major cellular providers, the company says the new smartphone will operate throughout North America.
The new BlackBerry will work in Iqaluit but will not be sold in the city because Northwestel is not the cellular service provider in Iqaluit, said Emily Younker, spokesperson for Northwestel.

Most lenders require borrowers to wait seven years before securing a new mortgage after losing a home to foreclosure. But in the wake of the housing crisis, millions of families have a recent foreclosure on their record -- and some are finding ways to buy a new home in as few as three years.

Totally agree on L'Homme - I expected it to be craptacular after reading all the bad reviews but it turned out to be a great warm, sensual, elegant and masculine scent with great longevity. Quickly climbed into my top 5.
Narcisco Rodriguez - another ditto, what the hell were they thinking? I know many basenoters loved it (there's a whole thread with rave reviews) but to me this smelled horridly repulsive, almost nauseating. And the damn thing continued to stink even after I tried to rub it off twice with soap

I have in my databse, Ernest Edgar Weavil(04/03/1886-12/15/1974). I have him married to Vada Belle Hastings and having 5 children.
1)Margaret Aline Weavil(10/07/1909-?)
2)Clewell Francis Weavil(05/02/1911-?)
3)Juanita Mae Weavil(04/19/1913-?)

I don't have anything on Edith Stanley Holder, but I do notice a gap in the children. There is 11 years difference between Robert and Billy Joe. Could it be that Billy Joe is Edgar and Edith's son? Do you have any dates for their marriage?
If any of the above names sound familiar to you, please let me know! Also,if you have anymore info on Edgar, I would love to have it!!
Best Of Luck,

"Calvin H. Waller"
Penn State's 8th annual African American read-in on February 5-6
University Park, Pa. --- Penn State's 8th annual African American Read-In will occur Feb. 5-6, Sunday and Monday, at Heritage Hall, the HUB-Robeson Center, on the University Park campus.
Sunday is known nationally as community day and will include numerous activities for youth and adults, starting at 4 p.m. and ending before 6 p.m. Readings of poems and performance of African American literature will be the primary focus, but middle school and high school students from State College Area School District will also be recognized for the quality of their work in the African American Literature writing contest.
The program will feature award-winning poet Mary Weems, who currently teaches English at John Carroll University and is the author of several books, including Public Education and the Imagination-Intellect: I Speak from the Wound in my Mouth and Poetry Power, a workbook/book introducing middle school students to the art of poetry.

His current poetry/activist performances are based on the recovery of New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. His published works include the spoken word CD My Story, My Song and his books The Magic of Juju: An Appreciation of the Black Art Movement and What is Life?
Poet, photographer, journalist, and Vietnam veteran, Steptoe is the founder and publisher of Whirlwind Press. He was one of the 2005 American Book award recipients for his collection of poems titled A Long Movie of Shadows.

McG Wants Sam Worthington To Fight Chris Pine In 'This Means War'
The threat of seeing a Seth Rogen topless scene has been squashed... for now. Last we heard about McG's This Means War was that Seth Rogen and Chris Pine were up to play two former spies who destroy New York City whil fighting for the hand of Reese Witherspoon. Now there's news that Chris Pine is on-board and Rogen is out, with the part now being offered to Sam Worthington.
I think this could be pretty interesting casting. Worthington has mastered squinting in front of a green-screen, so let's see what he does with a comedy. Though I am a little worried for Sam. He's making far too many movies and I'm afraid he's not getting enough sleep. How is he supposed to deal with the strain of keeping an American accent if his tongue doesn't get enough rest?

Big Lenders Will Help Active-Duty Military Get Lower Mortgage Rates
The White House announced a new partnership Tuesday with five large banks and mortgage companies that is designed to make it easier for members of the military to lower their mortgage payments when they're called to active duty.
Currently, military personnel can request to have their mortgage rates capped at 6% when they're called up to active duty as part of a federal law known as the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, or SCRA.
Under the program announced Tuesday, the five financial institutions will begin proactively reaching out to eligible service members among their borrowers every quarter after screening their loan portfolios against a military database. The announcement came as part of a speech President Barack Obama made to the annual convention of the American Legion, the nation's largest veteran service organization.
The five firms participating in the program are Bank of America, Citigroup, Ocwen Financial, Quicken Loans and Wells Fargo. A government audit earlier this year found that one third of SCRA-eligible borrowers at an unnamed financial institution had a loan with an interest rate above 6%, and that more than 80% of those borrowers eligible for a reduction hadn't availed themselves of the loan break.
"Under the law, our servicemembers are entitled to reduced mortgage rates, but the burden is on them to ask for it and prove they're eligible, which means a lot of folks don't get the low rates they deserve," said Mr. Obama on Tuesday. "Today, we're turning that around."
The five banks and mortgage companies are "stepping up to go above and beyond what is required" under the law, said Jeff Zients, the director of the White House's National Economic Council, in a statement.
In recent years, banks have run afoul of the SCRA, which also lays out specific steps to prevent service members from foreclosure while on active duty. Bank of America, for example, was required to pay $36.8 million as part of a 2011 settlement for illegal foreclosures of nearly 300 homes. Wells and Citi also signed a federal settlement stipulating that they would conduct a review for possible SCRA violations and pay a minimum $116,785 to each of the military borrowers that had been wrongfully foreclosed upon.

text: We develop a system to track objects across multiple cameras without sharing any visual information be-tween two cameras except whether an object was seen by both. To achieve this challenging privacy goal, we leverage recent advances in secure two-party computa-tion and multi-camera tracking. Starting from two dis-tance-metric learning techniques that are foundational for many computer vision tasks, we derive a new tech-nique that is more suited for secure computation be-cause it increases the computation that cameras do locally and simplifies what is done jointly. At the same time, the tracking accuracy of our technique is similar or better than the original techniques. We implement it using a new Boolean circuit for secure tracking. Experiments using real datasets show that the performance overhead of secure tracking is low, adding only a few seconds over non-private tracking.
