Jeremy's own music is a schizophrenic mix that segues from style to style at a mile a minute. Like "10 bands trapped inside one man's body" says his label, Corleone Records, who released Lazy Magnet's first "proper" album, "He Sought For That Magic By Which All the Glory and Glamor of Mystic Chivalry Were Made to Shine - or - Is Music Even Good?"

Friday, October 17th, 2008, 3pm - 6pm
on Put The Needle On The Record with Billy Jam
Eccentric and often reclusive, influential British singer/songwriter Roy Harper qualifies as a "musician's musician" having being consistently revered - in the decades since he released his 1967 debut - by such fellow artists as Led Zeppelin who wrote "Hats Off to Roy Harper," Pink Floyd who invited him to sing lead on "Have a Cigar" from Wish You Were Here, Kate Bush with whom he collaborated several times including on his 1990 album "Once," and Joanna Newsom who cited Harper's 1971 album Stormcock as an inspiration for her album "Ys." Consequently, last September Newsom invited Harper to support her at the Royal Albert Hall in London when Harper performed the album "Stormcock" in its entirity. Roy Harper will speak on WFMU by phone from Europe.

Tuesday, October 14th, 2008, 9am - Noon
on Talk's Cheap with Jason Sigal
Chandeliers drink the same Chicagoland water that hydrates fellow hyperrhythmic abstract electronic pop groups like Mahjongg and Lazer Crystal. This water turns the vibraphone of late-90s Chicago post-rock into a synth, and adds a phat trigger to every drum. Chandeliers' debut album The Thrush was recently released on Pickled Egg (UK), and on the group's own Obey Your Brain imprint (co-run by Griffin of Icy Demons, also home to Man Man and Need New Body).

on A440 / Stochastic Hit Parade with Bethany Ryker
For the first time since the show began, the Stochastic Hit Parade features a live performance of Xenakis' stochastic music. What's that you say? By definition, a stochastic process is one that is unprovable by theory....random, in other words. Xenakis  (an architect, composer and all-around genius-type) used computer algorithms, game theory and algebra to generate random sequences of notes. The JACK string quartet comes to WFMU's studio to perform all four of Xenakis' string quartets, including St/4-1,080262, one of Xenakis' emblematic stochastic works.
Steven R. Smith
Sunday, October 12th, 2008, Midnight - 3am

Smith, a member of the fabled West Coast Jewelled Antler collective and bands such as Thuja, Mirza, Ulaan Khol & Hala Strana, rarely performs live in a solo setting, so do not miss this treat recorded especially for WFMU. Once described as Blixa Bargeld covering Swell Maps instrumentals, Smith traverses the worlds of folk, improvisation, psych and drone, and this first visit to WFMU finds Smith on a sparse lo-fi cosmic journey into the big night sky.

on The Long Rally with Scott McDowell
Local indie-rock guys Takka Takka come by to play a set of tunes from their latest album, Migration. They've ditched the rootsy Lou Reed stylings of their debut for a burbling understatement of interlocking guitars, ethereal synths, and overlapping rhythms, casually informed by Philip Glass, Balinese gamelan, and Afropop.

In 1979 Nurse With Wound entered a UK recording studio with no musical training whatsoever and created an album called Chance Meeting on a Dissecting Table of a Sewing Machine and an Umbrella, which promptly was awarded a rating of five question marks from Sounds Magazine. Since then, NWW has confounded critics and listeners alike, both pioneering and mining the areas of improvisation, Krautrock-influence, electroacoustic experiments and more with unparalleled sense of invention and quite often humor. The shifting group's enduring central figure, Steven Stapleton, gives Brian a rare radio interview via phone today from his Irish goat farm, talking about NWW past, present and future. We'll also be playing choice cuts from Stapelton's 40+ album discography.

Matt Wolf, Director of Arthur Russell documentary "Wild Combination"
Monday, September 22nd, 2008, 8pm - 11pm
on Sound and Safe with Trent
Experimental film director Matt Wolf originally wanted to make an expressionistic account of Arthur Russell's life and music, but then he met Russell's parents and boyfriend and a new scope emerged. While there's still a lot of art in the film, like Wolf running through cornfields with a VHS camera in Russell's native Iowa, Wild Combination is very much a historical document. Phillilp Glass, Allen Ginsberg, Russell's parents, and onetime AR boyfriend Tom Lee (among others) take time in front of the camera to shed light on a brilliant musician who combined and altered the courses of dance and avant-garde music in New York in the 70's and 80's. Matt will talk about and play clips from Wild Combination, which will run beginning Friday 9/26 at the IFC Center in New York and the ICA in London - check the website for screenings in other cities.

Despite playing in a loaded division, Jeff Fisher is quietly building a very talented team in St. Louis
The mission of this report is to prevent people from saying in December that "nobody saw the Rams coming." Playing in the same division as the Seahawks and the 49ers might make it tough for this rebuilding team to reach the postseason, but expect the Rams to be, at the very least, a meaningful part of the playoff picture.
Since taking over a team last year that had won just 15 games over the past five years and was bad enough to have just earned the No. 2 overall draft pick, coach Jeff Fisher and general manager Les Snead have had their pick of holes to fill on both sides of the ball. With ample cap space available, they've been able to fill some of those holes with major free-agent signings: cornerback Cortland Finnegan and center Scott Wells in 2012; left tackle Jake Long and tight end Jared Cook in 2013.
But most of the holes are being plugged through the draft, with Fisher and Snead focused on accumulating raw athleticism. In leveraging that No. 2 pick into three years' worth of first-round picks plus two additional second-rounders, they were able to draft five high-shelf athletes in the first 65 picks last year (DT Michael Brockers, WR Brian Quick, CB Janoris Jenkins, RB Isaiah Pead and CB Trumaine Johnson) and two top-shelf athletes in the first 30 picks this year (WR Tavon Austin and LB Alec Ogletree).
In their quest for speed and athleticism, the Rams have been accused of turning a blind eye to character. Half of their 10-man 2012 draft class has gotten in some sort of trouble since joining the team, and two other members of that class had minor legal issues in college. This offseason, the Rams had disgraced ex-Lion Titus Young on the roster for a few days. And they drafted Ogletree, who had been removed from some teams' boards because of problems at Georgia and a recent DUI. At one point, COO Kevin Demoff felt the need to publicly assert that this is "not an organization of renegades."
We can't analyze and project how players' character will affect a team. We can analyze and project what impact players' talents will impact have. The Rams are quietly assembling a strong collection of talent. More intriguing, when you look closely, there appears to be a clear, and shrewd, plan for how use it all.
Fourteen years ago the Rams introduced a revolutionary concept to pro football: four-receiver sets on all downs, not just 3rd-and-long. An aggressive barrage of downfield bombs and intricate route combinations created the Greatest Show on Turf and recast how the NFL viewed offense. Since then, multi-receiver offenses have become more prevalent, though they've gradually morphed into more versatile variations that include mismatch-creating tight ends and a broader stylistic array of wide receivers.
Every team has been a part of this evolution somehow, though not every team has committed to it. The previous Rams regimes would dabble with more innovative schemes, but they never could find the right types of players to execute them. Last season Fisher and new offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer took some creative stabs, but, lacking resources in the passing game, they often wound up using more traditional, controlled concepts.
Things are about to change. Fisher and Snead seem bent on modernizing their offense. Look at the moves they made this offseason: cutting workhorse black-and-blue running back Steven Jackson and going with smaller but dynamic second-year scatbacks Pead and Daryl Richardson; signing flex tight end Cook; and, most telling, trading their No. 16 pick, a second-rounder and seventh-rounder to move up and draft Austin at No. 8. Smells like the Rams are brewing a new spread-oriented system.
The sense intensifies when you consider that Sam Bradford played in a spread system at Oklahoma. Last season Schottenheimer—Bradford's third offensive coordinator in his three-year NFL career—worked closely with Bradford on getting rid of the ball quicker. Whether they knew it at the time or not, the Rams were laying the groundwork for what appears to be the new long-term system.
They may not have to wait too long for the plan to bear fruit. Austin has unique, even unparalleled, playmaking potential. He won't be a slot receiver, outside receiver, running back or H-back; he'll simply be a ball-handler. The Rams will do whatever they can to get him touches in space. Some are skeptical of the 5-8, 174-pounder's ability to hold up in the NFL. But Austin missed only one practice in his four years at West Virginia. And, the way he will be used, defenders will rarely get a clean shot on him.
Even if he winds up struggling a bit with his transition to the pros, Austin will still be of tremendous value because he gives this offense multidimensionality. Defenses will have to go outside their schematic comfort zones in figuring out their responses to the various threats he poses. Look for the Rams to accentuate this by having Austin frequently shift and motion before the snap.
The Rams can also create similar, though less novel, matchup quandaries with tight ends Cook and Lance Kendricks. How they're used is especially important given that both players are better in abstract than in real life. The long-striding Cook has good straight-line speed, but he's not nimble enough to warrant the $19 million that St. Louis guaranteed him. There's a reason Cook never had a 50-catch or 800-yard season in his four years with the Titans. That said, he is capable of flexing from a traditional tight end spot into the slot or even out wide. Kendricks is also capable of flexing or even coming out of the backfield. However, he'll need other weapons lined up around him because he's not dynamic enough to consistently create his own opportunities. Nevertheless, there's possibility for tremendous formation variation in St. Louis's passing game. With a clever offensive designer like Schottenheimer, this in and of itself can be extremely valuable.
Given that a flexible, space-oriented attack lightens the demands placed on an offensive line, it's somewhat surprising that the Rams splurged for veteran left tackle Long, especially given that Long has struggled with various upper-body injuries and pass-blocking the past two years. Then again, Bradford has worked hard to overcome what Ron Jaworski famously described as his "cabin fever" (the tendency to nervously anticipate the rush). Perhaps $9 million a year to ensure your young quarterback's peace of mind is worth it. After all, Long's addition moves sound fourth-year pro Rodger Saffold to right tackle, which fixes a perennial weak spot. What's more, these changes will collectively improve the run-blocking.
As for the men lining up between the tackles: Center Scott Wells is smart and technically sound. At 32 he hasn't shown any sign of serious decline, but the Rams still spent a fourth-round pick on his possible successor, Barrett Jones. At right guard is Harvey Dahl, an seventh-year journeyman turned starter who has more grit than athleticism. He'll play ahead of former Chicago first-round bust Chris Williams and opposite 26-year-old fringe starter Shelley Smith.
Exciting as all the new weapons might be, it's fair to question the Rams' returning skill players. At wide receiver, Chris Givens has sensational speed and natural movement skills, but he must mature off the field and as a man of his craft. Third-year possession wideout Austin Pettis remains too much of an unknown; last year's second-rounder, Brian Quick, is still trying to earn his coaches' trust after a disappointing rookie campaign. If Fisher and Snead were supremely confident in all of these incumbents, they probably would not have drafted Stedman Bailey in the third round.
The backfield is equally tenuous. Cincinnati's academic calendar and NFL rules prevented Pead from attending early team activities as a second-round rookie last year. He fell miserably behind and wound up seeing his role go to seventh-round rookie Daryl Richardson. Richardson has flashed tremendous lateral burst and acceleration. This, along with quickness through the hole, should make him a nice fit in spread concepts. The hope is Pead, who has a very similar style, can also step up. If he can't, the Rams will have to preemptively turn to fifth-round rookie Zac Stacy.
Some also apply the backfield question marks to Bradford. Maybe that's fair given he's yet to complete more than 60% of his passes in a season. But it's hard to fully critique a young quarterback when he has constantly had new systems and an iffy supporting cast. On his own, Bradford still exhibits the quick release and intermediate throwing velocity that made him the No. 1 overall pick. Fisher and Snead are wise for not abandoning him.
It's not just the looming change and innovation on offense that makes the Rams an intriguing dark horse playoff contender. More so, it's the raw talent on all three levels of this 4-3 defense. There's enough of that talent along the first level to give St. Louis one of the best defensive lines in football. Quietly, the defensive line last season was responsible for 39 of the Rams' NFL-leading 52 sacks.
The final steps to evolving into a Giants-like front four hinge on 2011 first-round defensive end Robert Quinn and 2012 first-round defensive tackle Michael Brockers. Both seem destined for stardom. Quinn is fluid and has remarkable speed and quickness in skimming the edge. He just needs to become more consistent in his technique, particularly on counter moves back to the inside. Brockers shows tremendous suddenness in confined areas. He has natural country strength and the athleticism to dominate laterally. He improved his pass rushing as a rookie, but his forte is stopping the run.
There's a third former first-round pick along this line: Chris Long, who has already developed from formidable base end to a dynamic all-around force. Long has the strength to move blockers on stunts, but it's improved closing quickness over the last two years that has led to a lot of his 24.5 sacks. In some nickel packages, usually when there's a blitz involved, the Rams have played Quinn inside next to Long. But generally, the defensive tackle filling that spot is former Dolphin Kendall Langford, who has an underrated combination of power and quickness against the run.
The Rams also enjoy solid depth along their front four. Fourth-year pro Eugene Sims has a willowy build similar to Quinn's, which he uses well both as an edge-bender or gap-shooting tackle; defensive tackle Jermelle Cudjo offers quick upper body movement; William Hayes is a good in-line run-defender from the edge and inside. He also had seven sacks last season.
The Rams, theoretically, have a potent enough front line to eschew most blitzes and play a host of different field-crowding hybrid coverages behind a straight four-man rush (a la the Giants). However, Fisher, while a fairly strong advocate of traditional 4-3 principles, likes a little more creativity from time to time. After parting ways with longtime friend Gregg Williams (who was suspended all of last season and never wound up coaching in St. Louis) and Williams' son, Blake, he filled his vacant defensive coordinator position with former Lions secondary coach Tim Walton. Fisher had met with bigger name assistants like Dick Jauron, Mike Singletary and Rob Ryan (who was hired as coordinator but left after a few days). None of them were familiar with St. Louis's defensive terminology. Walton was, thanks to his time in Detroit working for Jim Schwartz, Fisher's former Titans defensive coordinator.
Under Schwartz, Walton coached a lot of traditional two-deep zone coverages. Here, he should have an opportunity to use more man-to-man. That's cornerback Jenkins' specialty. The second-rounder's scintillating playmaking prowess was evident as a rookie (four touchdown returns), but so was his immaturity (suspended at one point for violating team rules). He also seemed to lose confidence in his man-to-man prowess during a midseason slump, which can't happen given his greenness as an off-coverage and zone defender.
Opposite Jenkins is Cortland Finnegan. He did not make a ton of plays in his first year with this club, but he was still the stable run-force player and slot shadow that Fisher and Snead expected when guaranteeing him $27 million. It's crucial that Jenkins further his development and Finnegan stay solid in 2013; the rest of this secondary could be a house of straw. Trumaine Johnson is slated to be the outside nickelback. He gradually improved as a third-round rookie last season but is still very much a mystery. Fifth-round rookie Brandon McGee is the only other drafted cornerback on the roster.
There's only one drafted safety—T.J. McDonald—and he's a third-round rookie whom plenty of evaluators aren't sold on. The Rams are counting on the former Trojan to start in departed veteran Quintin Mikell's free safety spot. At strong safety is Darian Stewart, a decent downhill player but somewhat iffy pass defender. Stewart was a starter in 2011 but was demoted last season to the back part of a rotation behind Craig Dahl (now a Niner).
Fortunately, the arrival of Ogletree may lighten Stewart's responsibilities in coverage. Ogletree, who played safety at Georgia as a freshman, has fantastic raw speed and athleticism, which he can apply rushing the passer, chasing down ballcarriers or roaming in coverage. At strongside linebacker is Jo-Lonn Dunbar, who is a sound scheme fit aside from occasional gap discipline issues. He assertively takes on lead blockers and has a great feel for improvised blitzing (evidenced in part by his 4.5 sacks last season). At middle linebacker is James Laurinaitis, who has developed into an active all-around force and lynchpin for most of this defense's tactics. For depth at linebacker, the Rams signed Will Witherspoon, who has played a variety of positions in a variety of different schemes in his 11-year career.
Greg Zuerlein was all the rage after kicking field goals of 56, 58 and 60 yards in his first month as a pro. However, after making all 13 of his field goals in Weeks 1 through 5, he connected on just 10 of his 18 attempts the rest of the way. Punter Johnny Hekker, who unlike Zuerlein was not drafted, is back after netting an acceptable 39.9 yards per boot last year. Someone from St. Louis' chest of speedy young athletes—Jenkins, Pead, Givens—needs to spark the return game. Last season the Rams' average drive started on the 23.7 yard line, which ranked dead last in the NFL.
This young team is poised to take a big step forward in 2013. That is, assuming everyone stays healthy. As is common with second-year rebuilding projects, the Rams have a glaring lack of depth in several key areas. But hey, that's the most benign "major weakness" this team has had in years.
Andy Benoit is diving deep into each team's prospects for 2013. Read what he's done so far.

Radio Broadcast of Saturday, April 6, 2019, 1:00 P.M. (ET)
ACT I. Cesare Angelotti, an escaped political prisoner, runs into the church of Sant'Andrea della Valle to hide in the family chapel. The Sacristan enters to pray and is interrupted by the painter Mario Cavaradossi, who has come to work on his portrait of Mary Magdalene — inspired by the Marchesa Attavanti, Angelotti's sister. Cavaradossi contrasts the beauty of the blond marchesa with that of his lover, the raven-haired singer Floria Tosca. When the Sacristan leaves, Angelotti ventures out and is recognized by the painter, who gives him food and hurries him back into the chapel as Tosca is heard outside. She jealously questions Cavaradossi, then prays and reminds him of their rendezvous that evening. When she recognizes the marchesa's likeness, her suspicions are renewed, but he reassures her. When she has left, Cavaradossi summons Angelotti, as a cannon signals that the police have discovered the escape; the two flee to Cavaradossi's villa. The Sacristan returns with choirboys who are about to sing a Te Deum. Their excitement is silenced by the entrance of Baron Scarpia, chief of the secret police, in search of Angelotti. When Tosca returns looking for her lover, Scarpia shows her the Attavanti crest on a fan he has found. Thinking Cavaradossi faithless, Tosca tearfully vows vengeance and leaves, as the church resounds with the Te Deum. Scarpia has the diva trailed, scheming to get her in his power.
ACT II. In the Farnese Palace, Scarpia anticipates the pleasure of bending Tosca to his will. The spy Spoletta arrives; having failed to find Angelotti, he placates the baron by bringing in Cavaradossi, who is interrogated while Tosca is heard singing at a royal gala downstairs. She enters as her lover is led away to be tortured. Unnerved by his screams, she reveals Angelotti's hiding place. Cavaradossi is carried in; realizing what has happened, he rages at Tosca. When the gendarme Sciarrone rushes in to announce that Napoleon has won the Battle of Marengo, a defeat for Scarpia's side, Cavaradossi shouts his defiance and is dragged to prison. Scarpia suggests Tosca yield to him in exchange for her lover's life. Fighting him off, she protests her fate to God, saying she has dedicated her life to art and love. Spoletta interrupts: faced with capture, Angelotti has killed himself. Tosca accepts Scarpia's proposition. The baron orders a mock execution, and Spoletta leaves. Scarpia prepares a document of safe-conduct for the lovers. When he embraces her, Tosca stabs him with a knife from the table and slips out.
ACT III. A Shepherd is heard singing as church bells toll the dawn. Cavaradossi is led to the roof of Castel Sant'Angelo to await execution; he bribes the jailer to convey a farewell note to Tosca. Writing it, overcome with memories of love, he gives way to despair. Suddenly Tosca runs in with the story of her encounter with Scarpia. Cavaradossi caresses the hands that committed murder for his sake, and the two hail the future. As the firing squad appears, the diva coaches her lover on how to fake his death convincingly; the soldiers fire and depart. Tosca urges Cavaradossi to hurry, but when he doesn't respond, she discovers Scarpia's treachery: the bullets were real. Spoletta rushes in to arrest Tosca. She climbs the battlements and, crying that she will meet Scarpia before God, leaps to her death.
Giacomo Puccini, the only Italian composer after Verdi to achieve lasting success with opera after opera, was born into a musical family in Lucca, near Florence. It was mainly at his mother's urging that he studied music as a young man. When he heard Aida — then still a novelty — he recognized the lyric theater as his calling and got a scholarship to study at the Milan Conservatory with Antonio Bazzini and Amilcare Ponchielli.
After the lyricism of Le Villi and La Bohème and the romance of Edgar and Manon Lescaut, Puccini felt ready for a full-blooded melodrama. In Tosca he succeeded so vividly that the score remains a prototype of its kind. As with Manon Lescaut and Bohème, Puccini lighted on a text already chosen by a rival composer, in this case Alberto Franchetti.
Puccini had to face a temperamental playwright, Victorien Sardou, sixty-five-year-old dean of the French theater and author of La Tosca. Sardou not only exacted an exorbitant fee but inundated Puccini with unsolicited advice. The composer had even more trouble with his librettists, Illica and Giacosa; the former had written on the lengthy side and refused to cut, while the latter found the melodrama lacking in poetry. Puccini had his way, eliminating two of Sardou's five acts.
A restless atmosphere preceded Tosca's world premiere, in Rome on January 14, 1900. The public was skeptical of a local subject set by an out-of-towner. Despite a bomb scare and a near-riot instigated by disgruntled latecomers trying to get seated, Tosca was performed — by Romanian diva Hariclea Darclée, tenor Emilio de Marchi and baritone Eugenio Giraldoni, with Leopoldo Mugnone conducting. The reception was mixed, but the opera soon established itself. The U.S. premiere, at the Met (Feb. 4, 1901), starred Milka Ternina, Giuseppe Cremonini and Antonio Scotti, with Luigi Mancinelli on the podium.
The Met's present production, by David McVicar, was unveiled on December 31, 2017, with Emmanuel Villaume pacing Sonya Yoncheva, Vittorio Grigolo and Željko Lučić.
Susan Vandiver Nicassio's Tosca's Rome: The Play and the Opera in Historical Perspective (University of Chicago) offers an insightful comparison between the worlds of Puccini, playwright Victorien Sardou and Napoleonic-era history. Also eminently useful are Mary Jane Phillips-Matz's Puccini: A Biography (Northeastern) and Julian Budden's Puccini: His Life and Works (Oxford).
Jonas Kaufmann offers "E lucevan le stelle" on his Romantic Arias recital (Decca); Bryn Terfel includes Scarpia among the villains on his new Bad Boys disc (DG). Victor de Sabata's 1953 recording, with Maria Callas, Giuseppe di Stefano and Tito Gobbi in magnificent form, is one of the glories of the EMI catalogue. Leontyne Price is a glowing, vulnerable Tosca in Herbert von Karajan's 1963 recording with the Vienna Philharmonic (Decca). Of recorded Scarpias, Sherrill Milnes is the most convincingly virile (Decca), notably in his Act II confrontation with Mirella Freni's womanly Tosca, who at times seems ready to forsake Luciano Pavarotti's bright Mario.
The tight-focus drama of Tosca has made it a near-ideal opera for television and video. On DVD, Terfel is Scarpia in an unconventional Netherlands Opera staging (DG). In the 1985 broadcast of the Met's Franco Zeffirelli production, conducted by Giuseppe Sinopoli, Plácido Domingo's superb Cavaradossi woos the energetic Tosca of Hildegard Behrens (DG).

Thursday, January 10
Good morning, TexMessagers! Do you believe in global warming?
When it comes to weather, 2012 was quite a year. Not only did U.S. experience some extreme weather, but according to National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 2012 also was the warmest year on record.
Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson believes that NOAA's announcement is clear indication that global warming exists. The Dallas Democrat released the following statement yesterday:
"Every new data point serves to highlight the folly of putting special-interest politics and partisanship before science and fact. The climate is changing. It is time for both sides of the aisle to accept the evidence, recognize the overwhelming scientific consensus, evaluate the risks of continued inaction, and come together to have meaningful discussions about climate change.
"Though it may be too little and too late, policies focused on prevention of deeper, more devastating climatic shifts should still be our primary objective. Therefore, we must act boldly and we must act swiftly. Policymakers also have a responsibility to do everything that we can to ensure that communities, the agricultural sector, and other critical industries can adapt to the costly impacts of a changing climate."
According to Public Policy Polling September 2011 poll, Johnson is part of a minority group of Texas lawmakers who believe in global warming. Majority of Texas lawmakers, at 64 percent, do not believe in global warming. One of the more outspoken members of this majority is Rep. Lamar Smith, who interestingly enough is chairing House Committee on Science, Space and Technology during the 113th session of Congress.
Johnson is a ranking member on the very same committee. We're expecting some Texas straight talk (heated? or cool?) between the two of them in coming months.

Reader Comment of the Day
In response to our post, 'Rep. Steve Stockman: Repeal gun-free school zones, protect our kids,' 'Patrick0' wrote in the comments forum:
Anyone who thinks that we are going to repeal the law establishing gun-free school zones hasn't been to a PTA meeting lately. The millions of moms who send their children to our schools will never allow this to happen.
In the aftermath of the Sandy Hook Elementary School mass murders in Connecticut, the American public has finally had enough. If Congress doesn't act to ban assault weapons and 30-round ammunication magazines, President Obama will issue an Executive Decree banning such weapons. It is within the power of the Executive Branch to do so. I'm a responsible gun owner and so are people like Gabby Giffords and her husband. But we're all tired of the NRA and its hold ($$) on Congress. Enough is enough!

Ground water is a different ball game. Water filters are the best way to deal with this type of water. My water comes from a spring that fills a 1000 gallon tank with an overflow outlet so the water is kept fresh. I installed filters in the house that I change out now and then I originally put the filter in because the cats and dogs were getting kidney stones and then the filter ended that, but I inspected the water system and found that the spring water was feeding into an old very small concrete cistern that was falling apart. This was the source of the stones, so I replaced the entire water system with new waterlines from the spring to the brand new sealed 1000 gallon water tank and then the lines from the tank to the pump and then I replumbed the entire house up to the water filters. I have not had I problem since although I get the water tested every now and then.
The main thing with hauling your own water in a tank is to sanitize the tank each time before refilling it. This will reduce the chances of any biological contamination. I would use ordinary household bleach provided it does not have and added scents or stuff and then allow the tank to dry. Any remaining bleach will dissipate in a few hours after filling.
Thankyou Wolf

Here are some pictures I took very quickly before the hordes descended. All a bit random (and apologies to those I didn't snap - I really had to whizz round!), but hopefully they'll give you a flavour of it all. For more pics, go to MsMarmiteLover's blog, and also look at links from there to others.
Oh yeah, and I had a little stall of all things choc, too. ;-) (If you really want to know - original brownies, pecan brownies, cardamom brownies, choconana loaf, torta caprese, squillionaire's shortbread, and Portuguese-style chocolate custard tarts).
Big thanks are due to MsMarmiteLover and her great team of helpers, fellow stallholders, and everyone who came along - you all made it very worthwhile, and I hope to see you again soon!

The world's largest democracy and second most populous country India is celebrating its 67th Independence Day on 15/08/2013. The day commemorate political independence from of the nation from the British rule on 15th August 1947 and that independence is celebrated every year, although in a much more subdued form than on Republic Day.
Independence Day Culturepatriotic songs in Hindi and regional languages are broadcast on television and radio channels. They are also played alongside flag hoisting ceremonies. Patriotic films are broadcast. Over the decades, according to The Times of India, the number of such films broadcast has decreased as channels report that audiences are over saturated with patriotic films.
The population cohort that belong to the Generation Next often combine nationalism with popular culture during the celebrations. This mixture is exemplified by outfits and savouries dyed with the tricolor and designer garments that represent India's various cultural traditions.Retail stores offer Independence Day sales promotions. Some news reports have decried the commercialism.
Indian Postal Service publishes commemorative stamps depicting independence movement leaders, nationalistic themes and defence-related themes on 15 August.Independence and partition inspired literary and other artistic creations in many languages. Such creations mostly describe the human cost of partition, limiting the holiday to a small part of their narrative.
Salman Rushdie's novel Midnight's Children (1980), which won the Booker Prize and the Booker of Bookers, wove its narrative around children born at midnight of 14–15 August 1947 with magical abilities. Freedom at Midnight (1975) is a non-fiction work by Larry Collins and Dominique Lapierre that chronicled the events surrounding the first Independence Day celebrations in 1947.
Few films center on the moment of independence, instead highlighting the circumstances of partition and its aftermath.On the Internet, Google has commemorated Independence Day since 2003 with a special doodle on its Indian homepage.

Millions of Muslim, Sikh, and Hindu refugees trekked across the newly drawn borders in the months surrounding independence. In Punjab, where the borders divided the Sikh regions in halves, massive bloodshed followed; in Bengal and Bihar, where Mahatma Gandhi's presence assuaged communal tempers, the violence was mitigated. In all, between 250,000 and 1,000,000 people on both sides of the new borders died in the violence. While the entire nation was celebrating the Independence Day, Gandhi stayed in Calcutta in an attempt to stem the carnage. On 14 August 1947, the Independence Day of Pakistan, the new Dominion of Pakistan came into being; Muhammad Ali Jinnah was sworn in as its first Governor General in Karachi.
The Constituent Assembly of India met for its fifth session at 11 pm on 14 August in the Constitution Hall in New Delhi. The session was chaired by the president Rajendra Prasad. In this session, Jawaharlal Nehru delivered the Tryst with Destiny speech proclaiming India's independence.
" Long years ago we made a tryst with destiny, and now the time comes when we shall redeem our pledge, not wholly or in full measure, but very substantially. At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom. A moment comes, which comes but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new, when an age ends, and when the soul of a nation, long suppressed, finds utterance. It is fitting that at this solemn moment, we take the pledge of dedication to the service of India and her people and to the still larger cause of humanity.
" —Tryst with Destiny speech, Jawaharlal Nehru, 15 August 1947[22]
The members of the Assembly formally took the pledge of being in the service of the country. A group of women, representing the women of India, formally presented the national flag to the assembly.
The Dominion of India became an independent country as official ceremonies took place in New Delhi. Nehru assumed office as the first prime minister, and the viceroy, Lord Mountbatten, continued as its first governor general. Gandhi's name was invoked by crowds celebrating the occasion; Gandhi himself however took no part in the official events. Instead, he marked the day with a 24-hour fast, during which he spoke to a crowd in Calcutta, encouraging peace between Hindu and Muslim.

Set Time For Polycom SoundPoint Phones Via CFG Files, Override DHCP NTP Settings For SoundPoint Phones
While working on various things in a Asterisk VoIP deployment earlier I needed to override the DHCP NTP settings for a specific phone because this particular user was remote. The configuration file for their phone was actually using a different outbound proxy and SIP registration server address so they could operate remotely. One of the issues pointed out to me was the fact that the phone's time was never correct and after some basic investigation I was able to locate the issue which is described below as well as how to override the DHCP NTP address settings via the Polycom SountPoint CFG (configuration) files.
