Executive producer Mark Burnett of "Survivor," "The Voice" and "The Celebrity Apprentice" will deliver the biggest project of his TV career next year: "The Bible," a 10-hour miniseries.
His producing partner is his wife, "Touched by an Angel" star Roma Downey, who plays Mary, the mother of Jesus.
The couple unveiled clips of the made-in-Morocco epic Monday at the International Christian Retail Show in Orlando.
"We don't go out there waving a flag about our faith and belief," Burnett said. "We decided to do this, and if we're going to do it, to do it seriously."
The plan is for the miniseries to premiere early next year on the History Channel. Clips from the recently completed shoot received a standing ovation at the retail show. The scenes focused on Abraham, Moses, Jesus and key moments in the Bible.
In introducing the clips, Downey told the crowd her whole body was shaking. She said they were just back from five months in Morocco.
"It's a passion project for Mark and myself," she said. "We managed to get through this job without killing each other."
Burnett said the project made their faith stronger. "We've worked three years on this," Burnett said. "We love it. We believe in it. There's a responsibility to the world to bring fresh visual life into this, as you can see in the way we told the political story here of the pressure on Pilate, the pressure on Caiaphas."
Other scenes were action-packed, and Burnett said he hopes to reach viewers who aren't familiar with the Bible.
"It's the most important sacred text," Burnett said. "Without this Shakespeare wouldn't have existed, let alone 'Lord of the Rings' and 'Game of Thrones.' "
The clips had a gritty realism unlike many biblical epics, and Hans Zimmer ("The Dark Knight Rises") supplies the musical score.
"A lot of things in the past were donkeys and sandals," Burnett said. "This is like a feature film. It looks like a $100 million feature film."
He declined to discuss the budget but said it's "substantial" although "certainly not $100 million." The production had three directors and a crew of 200.
Downey is the best-known name in the cast. "'Touched by an Angel' still airs every day all over the world," Burnett said. "Roma gets offers every week. Turns everything down. This is the first role Roma has really stepped up and played."
She said the casting of Jesus was most important. "We had some actors lined up, but we felt we hadn't found the perfect actor," she said. "We put it out in prayer circles to all of our friends and community."
Shortly thereafter, they met a Portuguese actor — Diogo Morgado —his work was excellent and immediately realized he was perfect casting when they saw him walking toward their house.
Burnett said they consulted experts on every point in the script. "We're just going down the middle and telling the stories," he said.
"We had a lot of offers for this. We chose the History channel carefully," Burnett said. "This is a big thing. This could actually be bigger than Hatfields & McCoys," which was a ratings sensation for History. "There's a bigger audience for this," he added.
He noted that 70 percent of Americans identify themselves as Christians but the production also should appeal to Jews, Muslims and anyone who wants to learn about the Bible.
The DVD version, which will contain hours of material not shown on History, could reach an audience worldwide.
"This will go out into corners of the world that we have never heard of, and touch hearts and bring hope"
Downey said. "It's been just a very humbling, exciting and enormous privilege for us." she added other books inform you but the Bible can transform you .

You can use the subcommand imqusermgr update to change a user's password:
imqusermgr update [-i brokerName] -u userName -p password
The -u identifies the user; -p specifies the new password. If the broker name (-i option) is omitted, the default broker imqbroker is assumed.
For example, the following command changes the password for user AliBaba to Shazam on broker imqbroker:
imqusermgr update -u AliBaba -p Shazam
For the sake of security, you should change the password of the admin user from its initial default value (admin) to one that is known only to you. The following command changes the default administrator password for broker mybroker to veeblefetzer:
imqusermgr update -i mybroker -u admin -p veeblefetzer
You can quickly confirm that this change is in effect by running any of the command line tools when the broker is running. For example, the following command will prompt you for a password:
imqcmd list svc mybroker -u admin
Entering the new password (veeblefetzer) should work; the old password should fail.
After changing the password, you should supply the new password whenever you use any of the Message Queue administration tools, including the Administration Console.

I'm not a home right now, but just going off the figure in the manual:http://www.taperssection.com/reference/pdf/Manual_EAAPSP2.pdfThe switches from left to right:Battery: Up (turns unit on)Mic/Line switches (L/R): If you're connecting your mics to the XLR inputs, then "Mic"; if you're connecting a 1/8 into the line-in, then "Line"Phantom: "24/48" for standard mics connected to the XLR inputsMic Sensitivity: I found these numbers to correlate roughly to the amount of gain, so for "-35" it is about 35 dB gain. Likewise for -55 and -70. I usually leave it at "-35" (that's the minimum amount of gain).Bass roll off (L/R): I usually leave it off, and adjust the bass in post if necessaryGain: I usually leave this at 0 dB.If you set the Mic sensitivity higher than -35 or the Gain at +6 or +12, you can see if you are clipping by the "Peak" lights which will start to glow when clipping.Hope that helps! I'll try to edit this post with a photo later on....
Keep in mind that the +35db gain setting on the PSP-2 is 15db higher than almost every other 'standard' gain setting you've ever used before. This takes some getting used to especially if you're used to your setup peaking at a certain level and you find out you have to back off alot on other settings in order to keep your levels peaking where you're used to seeing them.For example, on my Zoom F8, that extra 15db of gain means that I almost have to use line input (rather than mic) at a loud rock type show in order to keep my levels on scale.
Nice snag! I want a PSP2 now I'm still SHOCKED that you found one so quickly! Cant wait to hear some of your first stuff with it
Tonedeaf, so what you're saying, is that at the +35db gain setting, its really pumping out +50db of gain?

^does phantom power provide power to the mikes when in "Line" mode??
Wow, I did not know you could use the XLR-in's when the switch is set to Line! According to the manual and the block diagram, the Mic/Line switch looks like it is supposed to toggle between the mini-jack Line-in and the XLR-in.Anyway, from playing around with this set up (ie., Mic/Line set to "Line" for both L/R):1. Phantom power needs to be on2. Mic sensitivity adjusts gain (ie., you can add gain by going from -35 <-55 <-70)3. You can add additional gain with the output gain switches.So I guess this answers your question rigpimp! If you are clipping at the recommended settings, then flip the switch to Line. I've never run it like this (I just recorded music coming from my computer speakers) so I don't know how it sounds.Maybe I can't read the block diagram properly, so can anyone else verify what this switch is supposed to be doing?http://www.taperssection.com/reference/pdf/Manual_EAAPSP2.pdf Block diagram: pg. 06Quote from: Snowman on August 23, 2016, 11:56:12 AM^does phantom power provide power to the mikes when in "Line" mode??
Don't think I ever clipped at -35. I never ran at another setting.

Doctor Who - The Monster Collection: Davros
Still, including Davros in this set of DVD releases means that you can have twice as many stories involving Daleks, which in and of itself was probably enough reason for the BBC to select him as a "Monster". Especially when Davros' origin story is such a resoundingly good story, in its own right and for the Daleks who are in it, which can't be said about every story involving Daleks or Davros (including the other half of this DVD set, but we'll get to that later). And with that out of the way, on to the reviews...
This is so right from his first appearance, when he's testing the capabilities of the Daleks; the Doctor and Co. know that eventually the Daleks are going to be a force in their own right, but nobody on Skaro does, and for nearly the entire story they really do obey the wishes of the creator; heading off to exterminate the entire Thal city, trying to exterminate prisoners instinctively, that sort of thing. Every possible threat - the Thals, the Kaled civilians, his fellow scientists - are dealt with meticulously and frightfully, and it's only the slow coming to terms of the Daleks themselves that finally takes down Davros in the end. But only temporarily.
But still. "Genesis of the Daleks", with the relentless, thumping impact of its anti-war message and the unsubtle-yet-all-too-real look at the consequences of conflict and its dehumanising nature for both sides (you'll never learn whether the Thals or the Kaleds started the war) is Terry Nation's single most powerful storyline. The terror and uncertainty that the TARDIS crew faces, three people lost in a world with no peace and death for anyone who tries to advocate it, is only one small story in a thousand-year war that it's clear at the end must continue on for far, far longer. And the melancholic ending, as our heroes are seen vanishing off into space and Sarah queries whether they've made any difference at all, has a good claim at being the single most ambiguous finale in the show's history. Compare to "The Silurians", that other great example of a story ending on that odd half-note of regret and uncertainty, and look at how its followups, by their very existence, soften the point; by the time Madame Vastra becomes a recurring character, it seems that there are always more Silurians and future hopes of reconciliation. Whereas every new Dalek story only inspires more questioning of that initial, hopeful, merciful decision that Tom Baker made the only time he had the chance to make that choice...
Davros gets more to do in the latter half, but that episode has so much in the way of tidying up to do - finish up Rose's storyline, including the parallel universe business, finish up Donna's storyline, give all of the other companions fitting send-offs, create and marry off an entirely new iteration of the Doctor...that the whole saving-the-universe from Davros business only has so much time that can be afforded to it. And the story has still got Daleks in it, who get to do lots of exciting shooty things as usual, almost turning the Doctor into Matt Smith and so forth, and so the perpetual problem of a Davros story about the balance between him and his creations doesn't necessarily work out in favour of the humanoid one. It's a story with Davros and not starring him, hence all the Doctor's chitchat about him being the "Dalek's pet". Julian Bleach turns in exactly the performance that the script asks of him, it's just not quite as rewarding a part as you'd expect. This isn't, quite, a problem from the story's point of view, which is clearly interested in doing other things, but it doesn't lend itself to marketing as a Davros character piece.
He's also much more interested and knowledgeable about how time works then before, certain in his belief that Dalek Caan is picking up on information that "saner" models have no access to. And that's important, because if it was his listening to Dalek Caan that explains why the Doctor and the TARDIS are left behind at the crucial moment at the start (and why, exactly, would the Supreme Dalek order that when the fleet of Time War Daleks think that they're more than capable of handling one single Time Lord?), then it must be because he believed Dalek Caan's prophecies about how Time works out. Which, given that Caan is insisting an army of companions have to be brought together before the destruction of the universe can proceed as planned, would tend to suggest that his loyalties may not be as clear cut as everyone in the episode thinks, or even that he's more a Cassandra-figure than a prophet of good tidings...but Davros doesn't realise that until the end, does he? Curious how much he trusts one mad Dalek, but then you'd probably listen to someone who broke you out of a Time War...(we could speculate as to why Caan's loyalties have changed through exposure to the Time Vortex, but that's another issue and outside our scope here).
So: both stories are worth the watching if only because of their lynchpin status to so much of what happens around them, both feature excellent actors playing Davros, and both are effectively horrifying (the body horror of Davros' flesh in "The Stolen Earth" matches any shot of unsavoury tentacles in "Genesis"). Would we recommend you watch them on this DVD set? Perhaps not.

Terry Molloy is good (and turns in a great performance in the audios), but he always overacted it a bit for me. He moves more as a head in Remembrance than Wisher did with his whole body in Genesis. Even Bleach, who gave a subtle performance in part one, moved wildly and erratically in Journey's End. Davros is subtle, quiet, calculating. Quietly, surprisingly insane.

Terry Malloy has BECOME Davros in the audios...he's really grown into the role. Much less so in the TV series I think. BF's "Davros" is just so darn good...Malloy puts Colin almost in the background. That said, Bleach did a good job with the very little he was given. I won't hide my utter hatred for StolenEarth/Journey (easily RTD at his worst), but for the few moments Bleach was given to be Davros, he nailed it.

Managing EU Funds – What We Can Learn from Slovenia
On becoming an EU member, how much will the budget calendar and its preparation need to change? How best to plan and execute projects which are pre-financed? How to record unspent EU funds in the next fiscal year? To what extent should the Ministry of Finance be involved in the process before the signing of financial agreements with the EU? These and other questions arise in relation to the impact on a country's fiscal position, co-financing obligations, pre-financings and bridging resources, and payment of errors.

What We've Learned So Far
A simple example, this application is not very useful by itself. However, our main goal was to present an easily understood model of interaction between PHP and Javascript. Now that we understand the basics, we're ready to move on to a more practical example.
What Will Our Application Do?
We are now ready to create a more useful implementation of the tactics we discussed in part one, but what should our sample application do? There are a variety of possibilities so let's just pick one of the more common ones.
SELECT menus are fairly common to dynamic websites. Furthermore, it is often useful for the values in one SELECT menu to depend in some way on values stored within another menu. Our example application then will create two such menus – one containing categories, and the other containing only those options applicable to the category selected. For the purposes of our example, we'll create two categories: "Days of the Week" and "US Timezones".
In order to continue following along you will need access to a MySQL database and a web server supporting PHP. Before beginning you will need to run the following SQL statements:
— Generate SQL Tables
CREATE TABLE `php_js_parent_menu` (
`id` int(2) unsigned zerofill NOT NULL auto_increment,
`name` varchar(25) NOT NULL default ",
`description` text NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
CREATE TABLE `php_js_child_menu` (
`id` int(2) unsigned zerofill NOT NULL auto_increment,
`parent_id` int(2) unsigned zerofill NOT NULL default '00',
`name` varchar(25) NOT NULL default ",
PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
KEY `parent_id` (`parent_id`)
— Insert main parent menu options
INSERT INTO `php_js_parent_menu` VALUES (01, 'Days of the Week', 'Displays each day of the week.');
INSERT INTO `php_js_parent_menu` VALUES (02, 'US Timezones', 'Displays a list of all US Timezones.');
— Insert child menu options
INSERT INTO `php_js_child_menu` VALUES (01, 01, 'Sunday');
INSERT INTO `php_js_child_menu` VALUES (02, 01, 'Monday');
INSERT INTO `php_js_child_menu` VALUES (03, 01, 'Tuesday');
INSERT INTO `php_js_child_menu` VALUES (04, 01, 'Wednesday');
INSERT INTO `php_js_child_menu` VALUES (05, 01, 'Thursday');
INSERT INTO `php_js_child_menu` VALUES (06, 01, 'Friday');
INSERT INTO `php_js_child_menu` VALUES (07, 01, 'Saturday');
INSERT INTO `php_js_child_menu` VALUES (08, 02, 'Atlantic');
INSERT INTO `php_js_child_menu` VALUES (09, 02, 'Eastern');
INSERT INTO `php_js_child_menu` VALUES (10, 02, 'Central');
INSERT INTO `php_js_child_menu` VALUES (11, 02, 'Mountain');
INSERT INTO `php_js_child_menu` VALUES (12, 02, 'Pacific');
INSERT INTO `php_js_child_menu` VALUES (13, 02, 'Alaska');
INSERT INTO `php_js_child_menu` VALUES (14, 02, 'Hawaii');
INSERT INTO `php_js_child_menu` VALUES (15, 02, 'Samoa');
The above SQL code creates two tables: one storing values for our "parent" menu, and the other holding values for our "child" menu. Now let's take a look at the PHP and JavaScript for our project.
{mospagebreak title=Separating the Logic}
Although more complex in nature than our previous application, this example will still be relatively simple. However it is good practice to separate the various elements of our project so that the logic and the display do not get unnecessarily mixed together. To help keep things separate, we will create the following files:
index.php This is our main display file, containing mostly HTML.
functions.php A helper file, used to retrieve SQL information.
external.php PHP file used to generate external Javascript code.
javascript.js Javascript helper file, contains misc. JS functions.
stylesheet.css Stylesheet for our document, controls visual layout.
Again, many of these files could be combined, but by separating them we are making our code easier to maintain and expand later. Let's take a closer look now at each of the files.
What About the Javascript?
Our Javascript file, 'javascript.js', contains five basic functions. The first will look familiar, but we made a couple of subtle changes that may warrant explanation:
// call to external Javascript/PHP file and pass Parent ID
function update_child( p_parent_option ) {
// create new script element and set its relative URL
(including ID argument)
script = document.createElement( 'script' );
script.src = 'external.php?parent_id=' +
// attach (load) script element to document head
document.getElementsByTagName( 'head' )[0].appendChild( script );
As you can see from its commenting, the 'update_child' function receives an OPTION tag as a parameter (more specifically, the OPTION tag that has just been selected by the user). It then creates a new script element as before, and attaches it to the document's . One difference in this updated version is that it also passes a URL argument along to the external JavaScript file: the currently selected OPTION's value, (which is in this case the primary key for our 'parent_menu' SQL record).
The other four functions are also pretty simple, but can be very useful in terms of user interface design. As you will see shortly, our basic HTML file contains a
 element with the ID 'hint_box'. This box is set to display "Ready…" by default, but will be updated when our 'parent' menu's onChange event is fired. This is done in order to display helpful information to the user about our 'parent' SELECT menu and the information it contains. The functions we've written to do this are as follows:
// update hint box value
function display_hint( p_hint_text ) {
document.getElementById( 'hint_box' ).innerHTML =
'Status: ' + p_hint_text;
// clear interval (if one has been set) & update hint box value
using helper function
function reset_hint() {
window.clearInterval( document.getElementById
( 'hint_box' ).interval );
display_hint( 'Ready…' );
// clear interval (if one has been set) & update hint box value
using helper function
function show_hint( p_hint_text ) {
window.clearInterval( document.getElementById
( 'hint_box' ).interval );
display_hint( p_hint_text );
// set new interval
function set_timeout() {
document.getElementById( 'hint_box' ).interval =
window.setInterval( 'reset_hint()', 2000 );
Each function is relatively simple, and probably self-explanatory with the help of the inline commenting. However, let's take a brief look at each to make sure there is no confusion.
The 'display_hint' function receives as a parameter a simple string of text. It then appends to that string the text "Status: ", and updates our 'hint box' to display the resulting string. This function acts as a helper for 'reset_hint' and 'show_hint', which we will now look at.
The 'reset_hint' function does two things. First it clears any interval that may be set for our 'hint box', then it updates the status text to show "Ready" using our helper function, 'display_hint'.
The 'show_hint' function acts in much the same way as the 'reset_hint' function does. First it clears any pre-existing interval, then it updates the 'hint box' display value using our helper function, 'display_hint'. The only exception is that 'show_hint' displays the text it receives as a parameter, instead of displaying a default value.
Lastly, the 'set_timeout' function simply creates an interval, and attaches it to our 'hint box'. This interval then waits for approximately two seconds to elapse before calling the 'reset_hint' function to clear any rollover text and return to the default "Ready" message.
{mospagebreak title=What Does PHP Do?}
The reasons for using HTML in our project are obvious, as are the reasons for using JavaScript (hopefully) – but why do we need PHP? PHP provides us with an enormous range of programming options, one of which is an easy mechanism through which to query a MySQL database and receive a result set. This is primarily what we will be using our helper function to do. Let's take a look now at the code:
function get_parent_menu() {
$select_menu = NULL;
# establish connection to the MySQL server
mysql_connect( 'localhost', 'root', " );
mysql_select_db( 'devshed' );
# append empty option (to be default)
$select_menu .= "t" . "<OPTION
onMouseOver="show_hint( 'Please select an option from the list
below.' );" onMouseOut="set_timeout();" value="" SELECTED>-
– select – -</OPTION>" . "rn";
# retrieve a list of all parent values
$db_query = 'SELECT * FROM php_js_parent_menu;';
$db_result = mysql_query( $db_query );
# output a SELECT menu option for each row returned
if ( $db_result ) {
while ( $l_db_row = mysql_fetch_assoc( $db_result ) ) {
# retrieve and format (if necessary) SQL
$l_description = $l_db_row
$l_id = stripslashes( $l_db_row
['id'] );
$l_name = stripslashes
( $l_db_row['name'] );
# output SELECT menu with JS attributes
$select_menu .= "t" . "<OPTION
onMouseOver="show_hint( '$l_description' );"
onMouseOut="set_timeout();" value="$l_id">$l_name</OPTION>" .
} # END while rows
} # END if rows
# return SELECT menu
return $select_menu;
} # END get_parent_menu()
As you can see above, the 'get_parent_menu' function does two basic things. First, it queries the SQL database for all values stored in our 'parent_menu' table. It then takes those values, and outputs them in the form of <OPTION> tags for our 'parent' SELECT menu.
The only thing that may need additional explanation here is the use of the onMouseOver and onMouseOut events. The application we are developing is pretty self-explanatory to an end-user, but it never hurts to make our systems a little easier to use and understand to someone who may not be adept with computers. Because of that, we have chosen to implement a "hint box" to display helpful tips to the user in real-time. When the user hovers over a menu option, a brief explanation of that option will be displayed in our hint box. When the user moves on a timeout is set to erase the hint after a couple of seconds. This is all done through the use of the JavaScript functions we discussed in the previous section.
We're now ready to move on to our application's stylesheet.
How's it Looking?
Our stylesheet, "stylesheet.css", is very simple. One class is used to control the appearance and formatting of our SELECT menus, and another is used to control the previously mentioned "hint box". Those classes are as follows:
select {
width: 300px;
font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 11px;
#hint_box {
width: 290px;
background-color: #DDDDDD;
border: 1px solid #000000;
padding: 5px;
font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 11px;
There is nothing too complex here, so let's move on now to our index file.
{mospagebreak title=Main Layout}
We've saved the 'index.php' file to nearly the end because it simply pieces together all of the individual elements of our application. Those elements, which we have already covered, each handle various aspects of our program – but aren't really useful on their own. Once they're put together in the proper order though, the pieces start to fall into place. Let's take a look at how that's done:
<title>PHP & Javascript – Example</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
href="stylesheet.css" />

Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne Sell California Home for $11.5 Million
Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne have sold their Hidden Hills, Calif., estate for a cool $11.5 million. There had been some concern about whether or not the mansion would sell after an accidental fire started at the property back in January.
According to the Los Angeles Times, the Cape Cod-inspired mansion was built in 2001 and sits on a 2.5 acre promontory off a cul-de-sac in the gated community. It features a paneled study with a fireplace, a home theater and a studio area, along with six bedrooms, a guest apartment and a kitchenette.
Though not official, the apparent buyer is Jessica Simpson and her fiancé, former NFL player Eric Johnson. The couple was rumored to be interested in the property before the fire, and it appears as though US Weekly tipped off that they were the actual buyers by running a piece on Simpson's plans to turn Sharon Osbourne's closet into a nursery for their second child.
The grounds also include a swimming pool, spa and a barbecue island. The property came on the market in 2011 for $12.99 million. The Osbournes paid $12.38 million in 2007 according to public records. The front of the estate can be seen below.

This means that the machines in your cluster do not have a shared file system, for example, they don't use NFS cross mounts to make a common file system visible (with the same path name) to each machine in your cluster. The mpirun script relies on having a shared file system, though it is possible to run MPICH programs without one. If you can't setup a shared file system, you will need to arrange to copy the executables to each machine first, and then use a "procgroup file" (covered in the documentation) to specify which executables to run on each machine.

John Ko seems quiet — until he starts talking about margaritas.
The co-owner of The Local Taco says he's sure his restaurant will serve "the best in town" now that it's open in the former Boca space on Lexington Avenue.
Those are big words, but Ko has 25 tequilas and crates of limes to back him up. Plus, the restaurant's patio provides a great vantage point to watch Lexington Avenue while you sip. It benefits from a new solar-powered, retractable awning.
It's a high-profile spot, and Ko, who co-owns four other Local Tacos in Nashville, Tenn., Lexington, Ky., and Greenville, S.C., scoped out Asheville for 2 ½ years before settling on the location. "I wanted this town because I know the city really appreciates the local movement," he says. "There's all this chatter around town about how we're trying to be this chain, conglomerate, corporate. But it's me. It's just me and Matthew [Miner] doing this store, and I live right around the corner now."
Miner comes to The Local Taco from The Asheville Public, which closed over the winter. That restaurant was known for its smoked items (including smoked ice cubes). Those smokey flavors will carry over onto the Local Taco's menu.
Miner says he's excited about the smoked pork belly taco with its molasses and cracked pepper glaze. That taco is an Asheville exclusive, and while the menu does include some Local Taco standards (ones that are served at all five locations), the ingredients will be unique to Western North Carolina, sourced from Ashley, Beulah, Maple Leaf and Jolly farms.
Ko says diners who know Miner's style of cooking can expect to find it on the menu and, particularly, on the specials board. "He's very chef-driven," Ko says. "He's going to tweak the menu, and we're really going to push the envelope on some creative tacos."
Miner created a beef tongue taco for Ko to try. "I wasn't really gung-ho about it, but after I had it, I was like, 'That's really good,'" he says, adding that he leaves many of the culinary decisions up to Miner and his other business partners. "I feel like I have a pretty good palate, but I'm not a chef."
Tacos start at $3 apiece. Other menu items include quesadillas, entree-sized salads and a vegetarian plate. Local Taco will serve lunch and dinner, and in a couple of weeks, it will begin serving brunch on the weekends.
Local Taco, 68 N. Lexington Ave., opens at 11 a.m. daily and closes at 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 11 p.m. on Friday and Saturday and 8 p.m. on Sunday. For more information, visit thelocaltaco.com.

The method you use to remove a broker from a conventional cluster depends on whether you originally created the cluster using a cluster configuration file or by means of command line options.
If you originally created a cluster by specifying its member brokers with the imq.cluster.brokerlist property in a central cluster configuration file, it isn't necessary to stop the brokers in order to remove one of them. Instead, you can simply edit the configuration file to exclude the broker you want to remove, force the remaining cluster members to reload the cluster configuration, and reconfigure the excluded broker so that it no longer points to the same cluster configuration file:
Edit the cluster configuration file to remove the excluded broker from the list specified for the imq.cluster.brokerlist property.
Issue the following command to each broker remaining in the cluster:
imqcmd reload cls
This forces the brokers to reload the cluster configuration.
Stop the broker you're removing from the cluster.
Edit that broker's instance configuration file (config.properties), removing or specifying a different value for its imq.cluster.url property.
If you used the imqbrokerd command from the command line to connect the brokers into a cluster, you must stop each of the brokers and then restart them, specifying the new set of cluster members on the command line:
Stop each broker in the cluster, using the imqcmd command.
Restart the brokers that will remain in the cluster, using the imqbrokerd command's -cluster option to specify only those remaining brokers.
For example, suppose you originally created a cluster consisting of brokers A, B, and C by starting each of the three with the command
imqbrokerd -cluster A,B,C
To remove broker A from the cluster, restart brokers B and C with the command
imqbrokerd -cluster B,C

For The Ladies: Celebrate #NoShaveNovember And Check Out 10 Man-Bangers Whose Beards We Love
Have you noticed "No Shave November" trending on Twitter during the past couple of days?
10 Men Whose Beards We Love
No this is not some weird Feminist empowerment movement. No Shave November, or "Movember" as it is formally known, is actually a annual movement aimed at raising awareness about the various cancers that affect men.
During November each year, November is responsible for the sprouting of mustaches on thousands of men's faces, in the US and around the world. With their Mo's, these men raise vital funds and awareness for men's health, specifically prostate cancer and other cancers that affect men.
This unique movement (and the Twitter trend) got us thinking about some of the faces we wouldn't mind seeing scruffy all year.
Did all of your favorites make our list?

Glebe Elementary School in Arlington, Virginia is simply a happy place. From my first step into the building, with its flamingo-pink walls and pet turtles ("please wash your hands after touching the turtles" suggested a sign in lobby), the school hummed with peaceful purpose. And the sense of focused calm went beyond the reason for my visit -- celebrating the installation of a small, educational solar array. Even after the outdoor assembly had concluded, I felt a coordinated commitment to making learning joyful.
Glebe Elementary Principal, Jamie Borg, celebrating the first SolarWorld Solar2Schools installation
My role at Glebe was to help the school community celebrate SolarWorld's first Solar2Schools initiative, and to thank the many people and organizations that made the installation of the 1.1 kilowatt system possible. Fortunately for all, it was a postcard perfect autumn morning, the sun shining warmly with not a cloud in the sky, as all 570 students, their teachers, a handful of smiling parents, and a gaggle of dignitaries gathered on the school field, accompanied by the 5th grade music ensemble, drumming under the new SolarWorld solar awning.
5th graders at Glebe Elementary drumming under the new SolarWorld solar awing
After remarks from Principal Jamie Borg and a few others, it was my turn to speak. I gave Astrum Solar, our installation partner, heartfelt thanks for their hard work on the project, and pointed out to the kids that the solar panels we were all looking at would still be there, generating clean renewable energy, in 25 years when they come back with their own kids to see the school they attended as youngsters.
Jamie Borg, Principal of Glebe Elementary School, interviews with local news station about SolarWorld Solar2Schools program
Then, channeling my own four boys and their delight in getting adults to look slightly silly, I led the school board members, PTA leaders, state elected officials, and yes, even Congressman Jim Moran, in singing, "You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. You make me happy, when skies are gray. You'll never know dear, how much I love you. Please don't take my sunshine away."
Amy Keiter addressing the audience
Another form of alternative energy, the wind, blew over my SolarWorld banner, but by that time we were ready for the ribbon-cutting. The ceremonial scissors were almost as tall as the handsome, confident pre-teen who wielded them, with some assistance by Congressman Moran. As I packed up my scattered belongings, shamelessly eavesdropping, I was delighted to hear school administrators and parents scheming to add more solar panels to the school. "They look like they belong here," said one of the Arlington School District facilities manager, with apparent surprise.
Glebe Elementary's Student Body President gets ribbon-cutting honors
The National Energy Education Development project will be SolarWorld's partner on the education component of our Solar2Schools efforts, and Duncan and Jacob at Astrum Solar told me they're willing participate in another Solar2Schools project, so I haven't alienated anyone yet.
Loading my gear into the taxi for the trip to the airport and home to Oregon, I felt like I was in the closing scene of a movie. The credits should roll as the cab pulled away from the school, the kids playing happily on the field, the sun streaming through the brightly colored trees. Cue the music. Reprise. "You are my sunshine…"

This holder links items together with a pair of surprisingly strong cam-operated suction pads. Although it was designed as a vehicle window mount for mobile devices, its gripping power and flexibility make it convenient for many other uses where you need a firm connection between two smooth surfaces.
The suction pads firmly attach to any flat non-porous surface and can be easily released and repositioned with the flip of a lever. An arm with two ball joints lets you adjust the angle anywhere in a 180° arc and rotate it in a full circle. Two thumbscrews can be tightened to support heavy objects without sagging. A versatile mount.

In this page you can take a look at all the features available in the JBoss Blog application.
The JBoss Blog application has two main functions:
- aggregating blogs of JBoss employees
- archiving posts
It is not meant to be a blog-authoring application. So you should have an outside blog (on Blogger, Wordpress or wherever), which you use for authoring, and then aggregate it into the feeds system.
Also, when using the application, you'll probably notice a "Tips" box on the right - it often contains description of configuration parameters, explains the meaning of some options etc.

He may have split from Emily Maynard a couple of months ago, but judging from the fact that Jef Holm and Chris Harrison are in South Carolina on a trip together this week, it appears as though Jef may not be done with reality TV-related stuff quite yet.
Or at least that's what most people are probably assuming based on a Tweet he posted about his little excursion with Chris.
It said: "Still not getting used to this 3 hrs of sleep thing. Off to Columbia, SC to cross something big off the bucket list with @chrisbharrison."
Ok, so what the heck are these guys up to? (C'mon, you know you're curious.)
Hmm. Let's see. All we know is that they're in South Carolina, and Jef wants to cross something off his bucket list. Whatever could that be?
Let's toss around a few guesses, shall we?
Jef's a closet Gamecocks fan -- The University of South Carolina is located in Columbia, so perhaps he and Chris are having a tailgating party?
Chris wants private time with Jef -- You know, so he can get his blessing to start dating Emily now that the engagement is over, which Jef is more than willing to give. (Chris totally wants her.)
Paying homage to a great band -- Duh, everyone knows that Hootie and the Blowfish got their start in Columbia. Maybe Jef wants to see where the magic began?
A reunion with Emily -- Charlotte is only a few hours away from Columbia. Could Team Jemily be giving things another chance? (Nah, I doubt it.)
Reality TV spinoff -- Is Jef getting his own spinoff show? Is he the next Bachelor? Are he and Chris scouring the campuses of southern universities in the hopes of finding him a nice girl to propose to so they can air the footage on TV?
Whatever they're doing there, we're definitely interested and want to know more. (For real. I can't stand the suspense.)
Do you have any thoughts on what Jef might be crossing off his bucket list?

Lokmanya Bal Ganagadhar Tilak was born in Ratnagiri on July 23 1856, a year before the first war of Independence fought in 1857. Lokmanya was a title conferred on him by the public. As the British put it, he was the "father of Indian unrest". He was a freedom fighter, teacher, journalist, editor, Sanskrit scholar, authority on Vedas and mathematician. "Swaraj ha maza janmasidha adhikar aahe ani to mi milavinach" "Swaraj (self rule) is my birthright and I shall have it." His statement made in the court addressing the judge is still remembered today.
Bal Gangadhar Tilak was a bright child and very good at mathematics. The problems the teacher gave to work our on paper, Bal would do them mentally and give the answer. He also had a sense of fairness and justice from very early age. He was very independent minded and did not falter at expressing his opinions.
One day the teacher came to class and found peanut shells on the ground. "Who ate peanuts in the class and create this mess?" asked the teacher. No one came forward. "Well, if no one wants to come forward, the whole class gets the punishment." The teacher began to give two cuts with cane to each child on the hand. This was a common form punishment at schools. "I did not eat those peanuts, I will not take the punishment" said Bal. "Well, if you do not want the punishment, tell me the name of the boy who did eat" said the angry teacher. "I am taught not to tell tales and I cannot tell you the name of the boy. However, I did not make that mess and I will not be punished for it." Bal was not afraid to stand up against injustice from a very young age. He loved to hear the stories from his grandfather. His grandfather lived in Kashi during the 1857 Revolution and told him the stories of Nana Saheb, Tatya Tope and Jhansi Rani LakshmiBai.
When Bal was ten years of age, the family moved from Ratnagiri to Poona (modern day Pune). The move was very good for Bal's education. He joined the Anglo-Vernacular School which had renowned teachers. Within a few months, his mother passed away. When Bal was 16 years old, his father passed away. Bal was married to a girl named Satyabhama who was 10 years old.
He graduated with B.A and LLB degrees. When he joined college, he was weak in health. The desire to serve his country was instilled in him by the stories his grandfather told him. A weak man cannot make any sacrifices, so he exercised regularly and by the end of his first year in college, he developed a well muscled body. He believed that "Religion and practical life are not different. To take to Sanyasa (renunciation) is not to abandon life. The real spirit is to make the country your family instead of working only for your own. The step beyond is to serve humanity and the next step is to serve God." The concept of "swaraj" was unfamiliar and Tilak thought a good education could promote patriotism. With his classmate Gopal Ganesh Agarkar and Vishnushastry Chiplunkar, Tilak founded the New English School. It soon blossomed and transformed into the "Deccan Education Society". This society founded the Fergusson College in Pune and today runs Fergusson College and the Greater Maharashtra Commerce and Economics College in Pune, the Willington College in Sangli and the Bombay College in Bombay as well as a number of high schools. The trio also started two newspapers "Kesari" in Marathi and "Maratha" in English.
In 1890, due to differences with the board of Deccan Education Society, Tilak was forced to resign. With a heavy heart, he bid farewell to the very institutes he founded and worked for ten years. He then became active politically.
From 1890 to 1897, he waged his war against the British rulers through his columns in his newspapers. He also used his newspaper columns for social reforms and called for a ban on child marriages and promoted widow remarriages. He transformed local celebrations of Ganapathi Festival and the birthday of the Shivaji into national festivals to organize people. He was a member of the Municipal Council of Pune, a member of the Bombay Legislature, and an elected 'Fellow' of the Bombay University, he was also taking a leading part in the Congress sessions. Added to these, he wrote and published his maiden work 'Orion'.
In 1896, famine and plague spread from Mumbai to Pune. The assistant collector of Pune, Mr. Rand mishandled the humanitarian catastrophe with brutal methods. His methods included destroying houses, transporting healthy people to hospitals, burning all the belongings and sending military men with guns into the houses. At the same time, the Government continued with the celebrations for Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria's reign. Tilak wrote a scathing article in his newspaper and quoted Gita "no blame could be attached to anyone who killed an oppressor without any thought of reward". Mr. Rand and his assistant were killed and Tilak was arrested and charged with inciting the murder. In the court he made his most famous statement, "Swaraj is my birthright and I shall have it." In the jail he wrote "The Arctic home in the Vedas".
In 1905, Lord Curzon divided Bengal on communal lines. Tilak called for the boycott of English goods and the movement came to be known as the Swadeshi Movment. He opposed the moderate views of Gopal Krishna Gokhale and his nationalist views were supported by Lala Lajpat Rai and Bipin Chandra Pal. The trio became Lal-Bal-Pal. In the annual Congress meeting in 1907 at Surat, Congress split into the Jahal Matavadi ("hot faction' or the extremist) and the 'Maval Matavadi' (Soft Faction or the moderates).
On April 30, 1908 two youths Prafulla Chaki and Khudiram Bose, threw a bomb on a carriage with the intentions to kill District Judge Douglass Kenford . Instead they killed some women traveling in the carriage. Tilak, in his paper Kesari, defended the two and reiterated his demand for Swaraj. He was charged with sedition and arrested. Tilak asked a young Muhammed Ali Jinnah to represent him. Tilak was sentenced to Mandalay Burma from 1908-1914. Tilak was 52 years old then and had diabetes. The masses were not sure he would last his prison term. His rigorous imprisonment was reduced to simple imprisonment which enabled him to read and write. During this time he wrote "Geeta Rahasya" in Marathi. He also learnt German and French through the "teach yourself" books. Meanwhile, in India, his wife passed away while Tilak was serving his term in Mandalay.
After completing his term, Tilak rejoined the Congress in 1916. From 1916-1918 he also helped in founding the All India Home Rule League with Joseph Baptista, Annie Besant and Muhammed Ali Jinnah. A journalist named Chirol who was visiting India, charged Tilak as "leader of violent revolution in India". Tilak took him to the courts in England and had to travel and spend 13 months there. During his stay in England, he addressed hundreds of meetings and intensified the Home Rule movement. He also built good relationships with leaders of the labor party. "Jalianwala Bagh Massacre" made Tilak to rush back to India.He issued a call to the Indians not to stop their movement no matter what happened, till their demands were met. The jail term at Mandalay, Burma ravaged his old body. Tilak was feeling very weak but would not stop his efforts of awakening the spirit for freedom in the masses. He visited Sangli, Hyderabad, Karachi, Solapur and Kashi where he addressed large crowds. He arrived in Bombay. In the early hours of August 1 1920, his old body gave up and the Kesari (lion) of India breathed his last.
Two Lakh people witnessed his last journey. Mahatma Gandhi, Lala Lajpat Rai, Shaukat Ali and others shouldered the bier by turns.
He led a simple life, and offered himself, body and soul, to the service of his country. Tilak had no property. His clothes were very simple. A dhoti, a shirt, a shawl on the shoulder and a red 'Pagadi' (a marathi cap) on his head. In many ways he was the architect of India's Freedom Struggle. His ideas and efforts were carried on by equally worthy next generation of leaders Gandhiji, Patel, Nehru and others.

EEOC Office of Legal Counsel staff members wrote the following informal discussion letter in response to an inquiry from a member of the public. This letter is intended to provide an informal discussion of the noted issue and does not constitute an official opinion of the Commission.
Title VII: Pregnancy Discrimination in Job Interviews
February 2, 2007
Dear Ms. :
This is in response to your January 31, 2007 correspondence requesting guidance on the following three questions:
As you are aware, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) enforces, among other laws, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e et seq. (Title VII), which bars discrimination in employment on the bases of race, color, sex, national origin, and religion. Title VII was amended in 1978 to include the Pregnancy Discrimination Act, which prohibits an employer from refusing to hire a pregnant woman because of her pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical condition.
There is no language in Title VII which expressly prohibits employers from making any of the above inquiries. Title VII does, however, prohibit covered employers from basing hiring decisions on pregnancy or sex. Thus, an employer may not refuse to hire a woman because she is or expects to become pregnant. In addition, although Title VII does not prohibit discrimination based on marital or parental status, its does prohibit employers from treating men and women differently with regard to such status. Accordingly, employers may not refuse to hire married women or women with children if it hires married men or men with children.
Although asking applicants about pregnancy or their marital or parental status does not violate Title VII, a fact finder is likely to presume that the answers to such questions formed the basis for a selection decision. As a result, if the selection decision is challenged, the fact that the employer made such inquiries will be evidence that the employer unlawfully used sex or pregnancy as a factor in the selection decision.
Please note that this letter does not constitute an opinion or interpretation of the EEOC within the meaning of section 713(b) of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. §2000e-12(b).

OTTAWA • It seems obvious that promoting trade between provinces would be easier if truckers didn't need to change tire sizes just to transport their goods to market.
But that is just one example of the roadblocks that still exist in Canada's regulatory landscape.
There are other hurdles of red tape that businesses must clear before they can operate or invest across borders; labour mobility has been another stumbling block.
There are too many impediments here
Industry Minister Christian Paradis likens these internal trade barriers to "an invisible monster" that is eating away at tens of billions of dollars in economic productivity each year.
"There are too many impediments here. We cannot do business among each other," said Mr. Paradis, who is this year's chairman of the Committee on Internal Trade (CIT), an offshoot of a 1995 agreement between federal, provincial and territorial governments to harmonize barriers to trade, investment and mobility.
Slaying that "invisible monster" remains a work in progress.
"It has to become visible, and we need to all be aware of it to ensure we combat it, and make sure we have open markets everywhere in Canada," the minister said in an interview Thursday, after speaking at a symposium on trade barriers in Ottawa.
"It's easier for us to go into China or Romania than to go into Quebec. It doesn't make sense."
The 100 or so who gathered in Ottawa — government and business representatives, as well as public policy experts and academics — were asked to access the track record of the 1995 Agreement on Internal Trade and make recommendations at CIT's annual meeting, set for the fall and likely to be held in Ottawa.
The federal government says CIT has made progress in areas such as labour mobility for regulated occupations, and freer trade in agricultural products.
Some provinces have already moved ahead with harmonization. For instance, the New West Partnership Trade Agreement — initiated in 2010 — integrates cross-border regulations between British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan.
In his speech Thursday, Mr. Paradis said "we need to build off agreements such as the New West Partnership."
"These provinces have become an economic powerhouse with a combined GDP of $500-billion and a market of nine million Canadians. That translates into money in the pockets of our entrepreneurs."
It might seem silly, but this is the state of the matter here
The tire-size example speaks volumes for the harmonization problems still facing the country.
"If you are a trucking company, you have to change your tires on your van depending on which province you are in," Mr. Paradis told the Financial Post.
This only adds to the costs for businesses and cuts into the country's overall economic growth, he said. "It might seem silly, but this is the state of the matter here."
Martin Lavoie, director of policy at Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters, says is if a truck is carrying a large load — such as an aircraft fuselage — to Toronto from Halifax, for example, "all provinces will have different rules with respect to when you can go on certain types of highways and roads."
"If you need to cross three or four provinces to get your fuselage to Ontario you might face less regulations if you bring it to the port of New York and put it on a truck directly to Toronto."
Some estimates put the cost to the economy of undue red tape at as much as $50-billion a year.
"It's hard to put a number on it, but we know there is a problem," Mr. Paradis said.
As CIT chair, the minister hopes to raise public awareness of the problem, along with political awareness. His goal with other levels of government is to reform rules so they are fully harmonized, such is the case with the New West Partnership.
He also wants simplified business registrations and reporting methods, along with more consistency between international and internal trade rules, and the removal of barriers created unilaterally by federal regulators.
"These will be the four pillars that I think we can achieve."
Mr. Paradis acknowledged that Ottawa is not without overlapping jurisdictions among its own departments.
"I want to make sure the Feds are seen as not just talking the talk but walking the walk. We want to lead by example. We are seriously committed to make sure we clean our own shop."

The Universe in the Rearview Mirror: How Hidden Symmetries Shape Reality
Unabridged Audiobook
Written By: Dave Goldberg
Narrated By: Chris Sorensen
Publisher: Recorded Books
Date: July 2013
Duration: 10 hours 38 minutes
A physicist speeds across space, time and everything in between showing that our elegant universe from the Higgs boson to antimatter to the most massive group of galaxies is shaped by hidden symmetries that have driven all our recent discoveries about the universe and all the ones to come. Why is the sky dark at night? Is it possible to build a shrink-ray gun? If there is antimatter, can there be antipeople? Why are past, present, and future our only options? Are time and space like a butterfly's wings? No one but Dave Goldberg, the coolest nerd physicist on the planet, could give a hyper drive tour of the universe like this one. Not only does he answer the questions your stoner friends came up with in college, but he also reveals the most profound discoveries of physics with infectious, Carl Sagan like enthusiasm and accessibility.Goldberg's narrative is populated with giants from the history of physics, and the biggest turns out to be an unsung genius and Nazi holocaust escapee named Emmy Noether- the other Einstein. She was unrecognized, even unpaid, throughout most of her career simply because she was a woman. Nevertheless, her theorem relating conservation laws to symmetries is widely regarded to be as important as Einstein's notion of the speed of light. Einstein himself said she was the most significant creative mathematical genius thus far produced since the higher education of women began. Symmetry is the unsung great idea behind all the big physics of the last one hundred years and what lies ahead. In this book, Goldberg makes mindbending science not just comprehensible but gripping. Fasten your seat belt.

Oscars host Seth MacFarlane drew mixed to downright negative reviews for his first time in the gig, with many finding most of his jokes offensive.
"The oddness of the hire — middlebrow frat-boy hero emcees Hollywood's glitziest night — was only heightened by MacFarlane's unpleasant demeanor," The Atlantic writer Richard Lawson wrote of MacFarlane's performance.
USA Today writer Richard Blanco agreed.
"One longed for [MacFarlane] to drop the meta-jokes about the fear that he'd be an inappropriate host and get on with the job of actually hosting, which means keeping the train running, making your guests comfortable, and making the evening more about them than you," he wrote. "Awash in self-indulgence, neither he nor his 3-hour-and-35-minute show ever seemed to hit a comfortable, confident stride."
Even the more positive reviews rated his performance a mixed bag, with Huffington Post writer Michael Russnow writing that "when he played it straight, he was great – poised, handsome and charming. But on occasion he spewed classless material, which I'm sure he thought was very funny."
However, despite the more off-color jokes that offended some viewers, there were some routines from MacFarlane that landed. Here are our five favorite moments from the Oscar host, in no particular order.
1. In detailing the plot of "Argo," for which Ben Affleck famously lost out on a Best Director nomination (despite the movie eventually winning Best Picture), MacFarlane said, "The film is so top secret that the film's director is unknown to the Academy." He added a moment later, "They know they screwed up."
2. "Family Guy" viewers knew already that MacFarlane loves movie musicals, especially the 1965 film "The Sound of Music." He demonstrated that when "Music" actor Christopher Plummer, the winner last year for the Best Supporting Actor prize, was announced to present the Best Supporting Actress award. MacFarlane then acted out the climactic scene from "Music," when the von Trapp family is announced multiple times and fail to appear (they'd fled the auditorium to escape from the Nazis). MacFarlane even had someone appear in uniform to shout, "They're gone!" like a Nazi soldier does in the movie. (Plummer, of course, eventually appeared.)
3. One of MacFarlane's best jokes was also one of his earliest. Moments after appearing onstage, he quipped of the famously taciturn actor, "And the quest to make Tommy Lee Jones laugh begins now." He did indeed get laughter from Jones for that one.
4. MacFarlane's routine about acting out the Denzel Washington film "Flight," about an alcoholic and drug-addicted pilot who manages to fly a malfunctioning plane to safety, with sock puppets was indeed odd. But the moment where he simply showed the puppets being thrown around in a dryer was pretty funny.
5. One of the most pleasant and surprising moments of the broadcast came early on, when MacFarlane participated in two song-and-dance routines. For the first, he sang Frank Sinatra's "The Way You Look Tonight" as actors Channing Tatum and Charlize Theron did a beautiful dance routine. "Harry Potter" star Daniel Radcliffe and "Looper" actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt then joined MacFarlane for a skilled soft-shoe number as the trio sang "High Hopes," a song which became popular through Sinatra.

The Who with Vintage Trouble
When: Sunday, Feb. 24, at 7:30 p.m.
Where: Verizon Wireless Arena, 555 Elm St., Manchester
Tickets: $129.50, $82.50 and $59.50 at www.ticketmaster.com
Opening an arena shows for rock icons is often an unenviable task. Gritty SoCal soul band Vintage Trouble has shared stages with Bon Jovi, Queen guitarist Brian May, Kiss, and for the past several months, The Who. But rather than worry about facing a crowd caught between indifference and hostility, they think about what got them there in the first place.
"Headliners say, 'Our audiences will like you,' and it's our job to prove them right," said singer Ty Taylor recently. "If you believe in me, I believe in me — then we spend the next 45 minutes making that happen."
Bass player Rick Barrio Dill has a word for the band's ability to win over fans waiting for Quadrophenia with a brash roadhouse sound that evokes Otis Redding fronting Bad Company.
"We call it the transformation," he said. "There is a point where the energy catches fire. … If you can pipe into that and make it dance across the rest of the room, you've got a party."
Formed in 2010, VT came up in the L.A. club scene, playing residencies and getting tight until über-manager Don McGhee found them. McGhee, who guided the early careers of Mötley Crüe and Bon Jovi, told them to pack for Europe, where they spent most of 2011. Audiences there were the first to hear The Bomb Shelter Sessions, the band's debut album, and they loved it – seven U.K shows at the end of the run were all sellouts.
The overseas move was an eye-opening experience for the band – Taylor, Gill, drummer Richard Danielson and guitarist Nalle Colt.
"There's a level of passion they have for the lineage in the music where we come from," said Gill. "There's a whole depth of listener that just pulled us in, and that was something. … I learned right away it was a great place to be."
Fans aren't the only ones enamored, Taylor said, recalling a recent backstage conversation with Roger Daltrey.
"He said he'd told his friends that if he hadn't been doing The Who and he'd heard our band back then, he would have left his life and gone on the road to follow us."
VT will head back across the pond for the European leg of Quadrophenia when the U.S. tour ends. There's a reason why a young retro soul band fits so comfortably on a classic rock tour. Remember, The Who billed itself as "Maximum R&B" in its early days. Townshend and Daltrey knew their way around more than a few Motown covers.
"If you trace back to the musical roots, we all share a lot of the same admiration for those early artists," said Gill.
Many of Vintage Trouble's musical cues come from the early '70s sound of performers like Curtis Mayfield, The Isley Brothers and Al Green, pre-reverend.
"It was such a spirited time," said Danielson. "Rock and blues and soul were all kind of fusing together. It was so raw and pure. … We like to take from that; we really like to capture the spirit of that era."
"It was more sexy and just felt more alive and dangerous," Taylor said.
The Stax/Volt sound is a particular favorite; this made a recent Conan appearance more than special. The group performed the rip-roaring single "Nancy Lee" accompanied by keyboard legend Booker T. Jones. Jones first visited them after a show at L.A.'s Wiltern Theatre.
"He walked into the dressing room and we just sort of fell to our knees in disbelief," said Gill.
The band expects to release a DVD chronicling its European experiences later this year. 80 Shows/100 Days is a tour travelogue turned unexpected documentary, said Gill.
"We went from no notoriety to headlining our own 1,000-seater shows. … It's important for other bands to see so they can understand what can happen in a hundred days."
