Beat April Showers with Promotional Umbrellas
Everyone is familiar with the children's nursery rhyme, "Rain, rain, go away. Come again another day." In the U.S., it's spring's anthem. April downpours have ruined many a hair day and far too many picnics and weddings. As a marketer, you'd have to be crazy not to give out promotional umbrellas during this time of year.
Before I get into that, let's talk a little science. According to Sciences 360, throughout winter, it's so cold that the water on the Earth's surface does not evaporate. When spring hits and temperatures rise (aka April) the moisture returns to the air. With increased in moisture in the air, we then experience what is called "April Showers."
How can marketers beat those troublesome spring showers? Promotional umbrellas come in all shapes and sizes these days. Everyone should have a folding umbrella for everyday use and a larger umbrella for unexpected torrential downpours. Let's take a look at some of the different types of promotional umbrellas Motivators sells:
Folding umbrellas are ideal for every day carrying around. They are available in mostly mini and compact sizes, perfect for throwing in a bag or purse. Motivators' folding umbrellas are priced as low as $4.98 apiece.
Personal umbrellas range in size, and are great to keep in the car in case of a sudden downpour. They can be purchased for anywhere between $5 and $25 each.
Golf umbrellas, which feature a large arc, are excellent because they're big enough to be shared by more than one person. Golf umbrellas are obviously a favorite for golfers as well. They're often on the more expensive side, but make wonderful client gifts!
When shopping for promotional umbrellas, you'll want to be familiar with these terms:
Vented vs. non-vented: In my opinion, you should always look for vented umbrellas. A vented umbrella, as obvious as it may seem, means the umbrella features vents. In a windy storm, vents will prevent an umbrella from turning inside out. The vents allow for air to go through but not the rain!
UV protection: Umbrellas with built-in UV protection are designed for customers that are concerned about the sun's UV rays. UV-protected umbrellas can also provide shade on a hot, sunny day!
Auto open/close: This feature makes life easier! With just one click, the umbrella will pop open. No more pushing up until it clicks into place! Auto close is becoming trendier as well. I love it because as I run into work I can just click it closed and not worry about getting soaked while trying to close it!
So remember, to keep dry this spring, keep your eyes and ears on the weather report and always carry a promotional umbrella!

11 Year Old Shoots And Kills 16 Year Old Intruder.
An 11-year-old St. Louis area boy left alone at home with his four-year-old sister, staved off several home invasion attempts before finally shooting and killing a 16-year-old intruder, according to police.
At least one neighbor, however, offered a different account of the shooting, telling CNN affiliate KMOV that the boys were arguing on the front porch before the younger child pulled out a gun and shot the teenager.
The incident occurred Thursday afternoon in north St. Louis County. Police called to the home discovered the teenager's body lying in the front of the home. The teenager had been shot in the head by the 11-year-old while breaking into the home, according to police.
St. Louis County Police Sgt. Brian Schellman said it was the third time that the 16-year-old had attempted to break into the house Thursday. Neither sibling was hurt. One woman described by KMOV as a neighbor, questioned the account. The woman, whose name was not given by the station, said the 16-year-old didn't enter the house. "They were just arguing loud, you know, back and forth," the woman said. "He was always just sitting right there on the porch. He never did once go inside the house."
It wasn't immediately known Thursday why the two were left alone in the first place or why the 11-year-old had access to the firearm. Police said the mother, whose name has not been released, was cooperating with the investigation. It was reported that the mother purchased a handgun because of prior break-in attempts.

An Earth Day Message from Zeus
Posted by gregchiaramonti on May 1, 2010
Sorry this is a bit late, Earth Day having been celebrated on April 22nd. Though I think the environment is still largely on our minds with this terrible oil rig disaster in the Gulf. I hope they are able to contain and clean up the spill quickly and can limit the impact on the wildlife, beaches and wetlands, though last I read it may take up to three months to dig a relief well to stop the oil from flowing (at 5000 barrels, or 200,000 gallons, a day). We definitely need these oil companies to follow strict safety and environmental regulations if they are going to operate in sensitive offshore areas. I was just reading that most of the regulations are "voluntary". Hmmm… yeah, that makes sense. Install expensive, time-consuming safety devices, or make more profits? Let's just leave that up to the companies to decide, alright. Offshore rigs in countries like Norway must have a special remote valve seal that can be shut to prevent such a major disaster. But I guess if we try to slap more government regulations on these companies, everyone will cry "socialism". Hopefully we will make the switch to more clean energy solutions and break our oil habit soon. I believe, ultimately, we need to seek energy solutions in space, like orbiting solar arrays that beam energy back to Earth, or mining asteroids. There is no easy way to solve these problems, since much of the infrastructure needed for clean solutions would still require oil to manufacture.
On a side note, you may also want to google "Release the Kraken" – Liam Neeson's portrayal of Zeus powerfully giving that command, in the recent movie remake of the 80's Clash of the Titans, seems to have spawned a new internet meme.

Why I regret this apple: Three reasons to rethink OrganicBy Suki
This is an organic apple. Organic is good, so shouldn't we all be eating organic? Not exactly. I bought the apple you see here, but regretted it almost immediately afterward. Turns out, this ethical movement may not be as righteous as we think.
Organic foods carry a carbon footprint
The globalization of agriculture has made it possible for your apples to travel thousands of miles before reaching your local produce aisle. You can literally choose an organic apple from Chile, over a non-organic variety, grown locally. But there are consequences to that decision. Fossil fuels (oil, gas and coal) are expended to deliver those Chilean apples across the globe, and with some estimates suggesting our oil reserves could be depleted by the year 2052, is the organic choice an ethical one?
Nutrient Depletion
Transporting organic produce is not only an environment killer but a nutrient killer too. If you live in New York, but your apples are from Washington state, they have probably lost up to half of their nutrients by the time they make it into your grocery cart. Yet, 40% of Americans believe organic food is more nutritious than conventional food.
From the moment they are picked from their source, fruits and vegetables are said to deteriorate. They are boxed up, with no light exposure for days, sometimes weeks, before they are delivered to your local Safeway. Organic or not, nutrients are lost in the shipping process.
This supply chain model exists because supermarkets seek out the cheapest suppliers, even if they're overseas. One way to avoid this, is to buy local, from your farmers market, where produce is not subject to weeks in cargo.
When it comes to retaining nutrients, local produce trumps organic.
Certified Organic: Worth the paper it's written on?
Being a certified organic farmer carries cachet, a cachet consumers pay premium prices for. But the certification doesn't tell us if a farmer uses sustainable practices such as crop rotation or crop covering, techniques equally important to the quality of the crops we buy.
According to Edwin Marty, a farmer from Alabama, it is more important to get to know your farmer and buy direct from them. This helps connect you to the source of your food and learn how it's produced, a dialogue that isn't easy to certify.
Time for a rethink?
The organic industry has never been more lucrative. Recent figures show that 2015 sales were $43.3 billion, up from $39.1 billion in 2014 – the largest increase to date. Consumer appetites are moving to an organic preference, and the industry is responding. But, just because something is organic, doesn't mean it's necessarily healthier or friendly to the environment. Do your research, know what you're buying and how far its traveled to get there.
As always, pushing for health.

Want to Minor in Cannabis? This SUNY Program Could Be for You
Want to Minor in Cannabis? This SUNY Program Could Be for You
Recreational marijuana isn't even legal yet in New York; but that is not stopping one state school from adding cannabis industry as a minor, according to WSYR-TV, a local Syracuse outlet. Clearly, SUNY Morrisville is anticipating legalization of the adult-use market on the heels of Governor Cuomo's clarion call for it. (New York legalized medical cannabis in 2014).
The program will focus on growing the plant, providing a framework of study that will enable students to understand the science behind production. Speaking to the media outlet, Jennifer Gilbert Jenkins, an assistant professor of agricultural science at the school, explained the rationale behind the program, which SUNY Morrisville hopes to roll out in time for the fall 2019 semester, "We're an ag[riculture]and technical college. Our job is to train the workers that are on the ground in the workforce and that's our goal, that's what we're doing. So, if these jobs are going to be there, we need to make sure our graduates are the ones filling those positions."
Drawing heavily upon the school's existing curricula in agricultural engineering, science and horticulture, the program will be tailor-made for the serious-minded. In other words, stoners need not apply.

Former Fox, Warner Bros and NBC TV Boss; Ex-Disney Head; Broadway/Universal Studios Producer named in Hollywood 'Pedophile Ring'.
Note from Stephen Cook: Here we go…more names, as predicted. Yet I reckon this is just the beginning of the end for the Hollywood's'hidden' sexual abuse of children. Watch for this to tip over into the music industry, too.
By Michael Idato, SMH.com – April 22, 2014 – http://tinyurl.com/lrbs39v | Thanks to Golden Age of Gaia.
The 31-year-old man who last week sensationally named Hollywood heavyweight producer Bryan Singer in a child sex lawsuit has filed three more civil lawsuits against powerful Hollywood figures.
The three named today are former 20th Century Fox television boss Garth Ancier, former Disney television boss David Neuman and Broadway producer and Universal and Six Flags theme park designer Gary Goddard.
"Somebody has to stand up to these people," Egan told a packed press conference in Los Angeles.
"You can't change the stigma that exists in this world against childhood sexual abuse unless someone talks about it."
Egan spoke out earlier this month, accusing Singer, a prominent Hollywood producer, of a series of sexual assaults which occurred when Egan was aged 15 through to 17.
Egan's lawyer Jeff Herman said the assaults took place at a private LA estate which played host to parties attended by high-profile Hollywood figures and "underaged boys, including Mike [Egan]".
At those parties the young men were "given drugs, they were given alcohol, sometimes they were threatened, sometimes they were given gifts and promised roles in movies; what we call being groomed," Herman said today.
Herman said the subjects of the four lawsuits are part of a "ring" of powerful Hollywood figures who were "participants" in the parties, and had sexually assaulted Egan.
Herman said there were allegations which touched on a number of other figures, but the four names so far were the only four connected to parties in Hawaii as well as Los Angeles. The connection to Hawaii is significant, as it is the jurisdiction in which the lawsuits have been filed.
No criminal charges have been laid against any of the four named.
Egan's mother, Bonnie Mound, attended the press conference to support her son and delivered an explosive and emotional criticism of the difficulties she faced for the past 14 years in trying to make people, including law enforcement agencies, act on her son's claim.
She told the press conference that she had first discovered her son was a victim of sexual abuse when he was 17 years old, but that her subsequent pleas for help — to the LAPD, FBI and various media outlets including 60 Minutes and the Oprah Winfrey Show — were ignored.
Despite interviews with the police and federal agencies, nothing was done, she said. A single journalist attempted to write a story for a magazine, she said, but the story was abandoned after pressure from the Hollywood establishment.
"There is talk that Mike is here for his 15 minutes of fame; do you call this fame?" Mound said, breaking down in tears. "This isn't fame. What part of this is fame?
"Sitting here … do you think we like it? It's not about money, it's about disarming these paedophiles who use their wealth and power to escape justice," she said.
Herman said the lawsuit was simply about "grown men sexually abusing children".
Asked by a reporter why she had not noticed her son was being sexually abused over a period of two years, Egan's mother responded with a mixture of rage and raw emotion.
"Do you have any teenagers? Do they tell you everything?" she pressed the reporter.
"Do they tell you when these paedophiles have knives at their throats, stick guns in their mouths, have a bodyguard stand above their head and say they're going to snap heir neck, put them underwater till they about drown, lock them in a [gun] safe till they can't breathe?
"Then tell me, would your teenager tell you or would they be petrified? Would they be scared out of their mind when they have threatened death to them and our family? Then you think about it. I hope you never have to go through what we've gone through. I hope not."
Singer's lawyer, Martin Singer — no relation — responded to his clients lawsuit last week with a statement in which he said the claims were "completely fabricated".

He also said he would bring a claim of malicious prosecution against Egan and Herman.
Today, Herman accused Singer's camp of intimidation.
"I am not going to be bullied. I am not intimidated by those kinds of statements," Herman told the press conference. "And I will continue to file cases on behalf of victims of sex abuse.
"To all the victims who hear these threats and feel its not safe for them [to come forward], I want them to know it's safe for them, it's safe to come forward," Herman said.
Herman said the four lawsuits were filed after more than six months of investigation.
Herman is one of the most respected advocates for survivors of rape, sexual abuse and sexual exploitation in the US, notably representing hundreds of victims of clergy sexual abuse in the Roman Catholic church.
The case has triggered a mixed reaction in Hollywood, generating coverage from many media outlets but cautious coverage from others, particular media outlets which have either have connections to or depend on the Hollywood studio infrastructure to operate.
Herman said the case was "a watershed moment for Hollywood".
"We're going to look back on these cases and see this opened up a number of victims feeling safe about coming forward," he said.
Herman said he had been contacted by dozens of victims who have alleged abuse by different perpetrators, including studio executives, managers, directors and producers.
"This is something I anticipate will expand. I will continue, as appropriate, to file cases and expose the predators."

Tipping points: the Social Aspect of Cloud Computing
Many people already know the book "The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference." According to the author Malcolm Gladwell, tipping points are "the levels at which the momentum for change becomes unstoppable." He defines the term as sociological and uses it to explain sociological epidemics.
Three Rules of Epidemics
In his book, Gladwell laid out the "three rules of epidemics" as follows:
1) The Law of the Few.
"The success of any kind of social epidemic is heavily dependent on the involvement of people with a particular and rare set of social gifts." The author categorized people into Connectors who link us up with the world; Mavens who are "people we rely upon to connect us with new information;" and Salesmen who are charismatic persuaders.
2) The Stickiness Factor
The specific content of a message that renders its impact memorable.
3) The Power of Context
Human behavior is sensitive to and strongly influenced by its environment.
Although the research comes from sociology, I think it applies to technology as well. After all, technology is social. Just think about social networks like Facebook, and the recent success of Apple's iPad.
If you want your technology to be a huge success, you cannot ignore its social side story. In the end, it is human beings who make decisions regarding any technology adoption or product purchase.

Not to be terribly self-deprecating, but I'm not at my gorgeous best first thing in the morning. I'm clean, that's about the most I can say.
So to have a man flirt with me while I'm ordering a bagel made me take pause wondering what he was so enamored with – couldn't be my old ripped yoga pants and hoodie that makes me look like Richard the Lionhearted. I'm also wearing big black glasses, so I look as if I could do your taxes. Hmm, maybe that was it.
He was cute…tall, blonde, in chinos and nice shoes. Shoes tell a lot about a person. If they're polished, a sign of self-esteem – slick and new, monied or in credit card debt. But this guy liked himself alright by the looks of his attire not to mention sass since he was grinning and cooing like a dolphin – opening line…
"How do you maintain that slimness eating all that starch?"
After turning around to see if he was speaking to someone else I said, "It's a bagel, not a baguette, and it's 6 in the morning. I have all day to burn it up."
Why I felt the need to explain is a mystery, but I imagine I was flirting too…just without powder and gloss.
Audrey behind the register said, "Our bagels are only 290 calories…with no butta of course."
Then she added, "Susannah here (now he knows my name) loves butta. Her bagel I'm sure is a 1000 calories, and don't farget the honey."
Thank you Audrey, my gluttony is now public not to mention feeling I'm in an infomercial.
"Why don't you get oatmeal with that honey, or yogurt and fruit?" said Mr. Chino with a wink. "It's so much better for that slim body of yours." It's because they cost triple what a bagel costs, but kept that to myself.
"I run after this, so that would be just too heavy a meal." Meanwhile the natives behind us were getting restless so I went on my merry way.
Suddenly I hear, "Mind if I sit with you?"
And I said in the most charming manner, '"Yes."
I know what you're thinking.
Why didn't I jump at the chance for a little male companionship? He was 12…alright 20…and young men and their brandished bravado bore me. I prefer a man who has sailed the 7 seas, you know, like Sinbad who would never suggest oatmeal, unless of course it came on the rocks…matey.

Vogue defends Saudi princess cover after backlash
Vogue Arabia has defended its use of a princess on its cover to mark "trailblazing women of Saudi Arabia", after being accused of ignoring a crackdown on women's rights activists.
The edition features Princess Hayfa Bint Abdullah Al Saud in the driving seat of a car.
A ban on women driving in the country is due to be lifted on June 24.
But almost a dozen women and their supporters who campaigned to end the ban have been arrested in recent weeks.
The magazine has been labelled "tone deaf" by critics because several of these activists remain in custody.
In a statement, Vogue Arabia editor-in-chief Manuel Arnaut defended the magazine's editorial decisions.
He said the publication "highlights and discusses key issues related to womanhood in the Arab world" and said using Princess Hayfa "helped magnify" their message.
- Saudi Arabia to criminalise sexual harassment
- Saudi Driving activists 'targeted in smear campaign'
- Why is going to the cinema suddenly OK in Saudi Arabia?
"Informing and initiating healthy debates around meaningful topics are a priority for us, and we therefore decided to emphasise this with an iconic and powerful image that is completely fulfilling its purpose: bring focus to the region and to the role of women in Saudi society," Mr Arnaut said in a statement sent to the BBC.
Some Saudi Twitter users complained that the princess did not deserve to be on the cover, especially with the headline "driving force". Some posted memes photoshopping activists in her place.
But others welcomed the edition, saying the magazine had "made history" by featuring Princess Hayfa, and described her as an "inspiration".
The BBC's Arab Affairs editor Sebastian Usher said the controversy was reminiscent of another involving Vogue in 2011 - when it ran a feature on Syrian first lady Asmaa Assad in its global edition, just as her husband began a violent repression of protestors.
Saudi Arabia's King Salman announced in September 2017 that he would lift the ban on women driving after years of campaigning by activists.
A press release for the edition says it was intended as a celebration of the cultural reform under way in Saudi Arabia.
In the issue, Princess Hayfa says she supported the changes with "great enthusiasm".
The edition also contains features and interviews with several other high-profile Saudi Women, including fashion designers, a footballer and a photographer.

A man was shot and killed outside a hotel in Burlingame on Sunday morning, marking the city's first homicide of 2016, police said.
Officers arrived at the Hyatt Regency San Francisco Airport Hotel located at 1333 Old Bayshore Highway around 5:45 a.m. and found a man injured with a gunshot wound. The victim was lying in the sidewalk area of the hotel driveway, police said.
First responders tried to save the man, but were unsuccessful, police said.
Lt. Jay Kiely said police do not believe the victim, in his late 20s, was a guest at the hotel but rather was visiting someone at the hotel. Investigators believe the man was targeted.
Kiely added that police are exploring to see if the shooting was gang related.
Many guests were coming and going at the Hyatt during a tattoo convention Sunday. But investigators do not believe there is a connection between the shooting and the convention.
The identity of the victim is being withheld pending notification of his family, police said. No arrest was made in the shooting, and a suspect was not identified.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact Burlingame police at (650) 777-4100.

A team of six or fewer NEST scientists covertly prowls areas, such as docks in a coastal town, that local authorities consider likeliest to have hidden contraband. Some NEST agents drive in unmarked vans packed with sophisticated gamma and neutron detectors that sniff for radiation emissions. Others travel on foot with the detectors concealed in briefcases, backpacks or even beer coolers. NEST was in Salt Lake last month deploying its equipment at the Olympics.
Explosive-ordnance-disposal experts with the Joint Special Operations Command are on call to fly in and assist the scientists in taking apart anything they find, but so far, NEST has turned up nothing in the searches. Administration officials admit that, just like putting sky marshals on airliners to foil potential hijackers, sending the NEST teams out is a shot in the dark. "But it's better than having them sitting at home doing nothing," says one.

Reuters/Shannon StapletonThe White House is busy trying to make excuses for deep cuts proposed in the president's federal budget plan, but budget director Mick Mulvaney seems to have forgotten his target audience. Mulvaney showed up on Morning Joe to defend the president's plan to slash federal funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting -- aka the folks who bring American kids Sesame Street -- with a claim that "a single mom in Detroit" or a "coal miner in West Virginia" shouldn't have to pay for the service.
Mulvaney says the government will ask that single mom and coal miner to pay for the defense budget instead.
With all due respect to our troops (that cannot be stressed enough -- our troops deserve unending thanks), is this really an either/or proposition? We can fund defense and give kids Elmo, too, as we've done for years.
Besides, who exactly does the White House think takes advantage of federally funded offerings like Sesame Street if not the single mom in Detroit or the coal miner in West Virginia?
More from CafeMom: Kellyanne Conway Admits Working Moms Struggle -- If Only She Could Change That
It's the very fact that they're federally funded, and thus free to the public, that has made Elmo, Cookie Monster, and the gang so vital to so many young kids in America. That is why many people were shocked when HBO purchased the rights to new Sesame Street episodes, making families without a subscription wait months for new episodes to appear on PBS.
PBS estimates 1.8 million Americans are registered on its PBS Learning Media site. The organization provides more than 100,000 educational tools to American teachers. And then there's the programming itself, watched by 200 million people a year, including moms, dads, and kids.
More from CafeMom: 5 Ways Parents Can Protect Their Public Schools From Betsy DeVos
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP)'s screen time recommendations point directly to PBS programming for its educational value. And one study out of the University of Maryland actually found Sesame Street in particular has enabled kids to stay on the grade level that's typical for their age, and that advantage was particularly noted in children who grow up in disadvantaged areas, kids whose parents are less likely to be able to afford extra educational materials for their toddlers. The 2015 study said the effects of Sesame Street are so powerful, they're actually on par with sending a child to preschool.
While we're certainly not advocating TV replace preschool, the latter isn't attainable for everyone. Quality educational TV has value, and it's not easy to find. And the AAP itself points out that Sesame Street makes a good supplement for toddler education.
For comparison's sake, sending a child to preschool can cost anywhere from $4,460 to $13,158 per year ($372 to $1,100 monthly), according to the National Association of Child Care Resource and Referral Agencies.
More from CafeMom: Girl Scouts Honor Women Icons in This Adorably Kickass Photo Series
So how much does that single mom in Detroit or the West Virginia coal miner spend on PBS? Just $1.35 a year.
That's the cost per American citizen to keep Sesame Street reruns and other kid favorites, like Caillou, Arthur, and Maya & Miguel, on the air. That's it!
For every $100 in federal spending, PBS gets just 1 cent.
Under the president's plan, that number would go away entirely -- the White House plan will increase military spending by $54 billion while it eliminates funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and slashes the National Endowment for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities. Oh, and yes, those budgets all provide jobs for average Americans that will be slashed too.
More from CafeMom: 23 Female 'Firsts' Who Broke Glass Ceilings in Their Fields
Unfortunately, Patricia Harrison, president and CEO of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, says there really is no way to make up for a cut like this. Per a statement from Harrison's office:
There is no viable substitute for federal funding that ensures Americans have universal access to public media's educational and informational programming and services. The elimination of federal funding to CPB would initially devastate and ultimately destroy public media's role in early childhood education, public safety, connecting citizens to our history, and promoting civil discussions -- for Americans in both rural and urban communities.
Times are tough. But for $1.35 a year, is it really worth it to take away something that has such a positive impact on so many American families, regardless of their income bracket or even whether they have kids (ahem, PBS NewsHour is for all!)?

To that end, one bill passed strips the Citizens Clean Elections Commission of the power to enforce the spending of candidates who do not accept public funding for their campaigns.Tom Collins, Executive Director of the Commission, told us he's disappointed Gov.

I've just been using tin foil but this would be so much better for the environment!ReplyDelete

GCN's 25th anniversary
1982The IBM PC, also known as the 5150, wasn't IBM Corp.'s first microcomputer, but it was the company's first successful one. Introduced the year before, in January 1982 the IBM PC's CPU measured 20-by-16-by-5 inches, weighed about 28 pounds and had a honking 4.77-MHz Intel 8088 processor, 16KB of RAM and 40KB of ROM, and ran Microsoft's PC-DOS. It cost $2,945. Extra RAM (it could expand to 256KB), a monitor with color graphics adapter, basic printer and couple of other extras could push the price above $5,000.
The first virus known to spread 'in the wild' was called Elk Cloner, written by 15-year-old Richard Skrenta and aimed at the Apple II OS. It circulated via floppy disks, which were often exchanged among users, displaying a harmless, if annoying, rhyming verse every 50th time an infected computer booted up.
The emoticon, or smiley, familiar in e-mail as :-) and other forms, began appearing after Scott Fahlman of Carnegie Mellon University came up with the idea of using keyboard characters to express emotions in text.
The Compact Disk was introduced in Japan.
Freeware got its start when Andrew Fluegelman marketed the PC-Talk communications software in a way that requested voluntary payment from users and let them copy and share the software. At the same time, Jim Knopf took a similar tack with his PC-File program. Fluegelman trademarked the term "freeware", and in early '83, Bob Wallace coined the term "shareware" for his PC-Write word processing program.

My guest today is Mr. Audley Freed. As with most of my guests on Riff Raff it kinda goes without saying that Audley is a badass player and his credits most certainly back this up but if there was an also award for "most humble guitar player" Audley would most certainly win it hands down. Never one to brag or name drop, he is instead constantly downplaying his achievements but not in a false way at all, rather a genuinely modest way. You get the feeling that coming from a small town in North Carolina, Audley is grateful for the opportunities that he has had and never even thought he'd have the amazing career that he's enjoyed but deserved.
Hailing from humble roots in North Carolina and forming the band Cry of Love (which still has legions of faithful fans) to joining the Black Crowes (and recording the legendary Live at the Greek with Jimmy Page), to his current gig with Sheryl Crow, Audley has done just about every cool gig you can imagine- Peter Frampton, Joe Perry, Dixie Chicks, Jakob Dylan, songwriting with Train, recording the debut record with Gavin DeGraw, jamming with the Allman Bros., and performing with other artists like Lucinda Williams, Bob Weir, and many others.
I had the opportunity to play for a short time in a band called Blue Floyd with Audley and that's where we really hit it off. If you know Audley like I know him you get the idea that he prefers to not too do many interviews or podcasts but he graciously agreed to sit with me and shoot the bull for a while.
On a cold Feb day in Nashville I head over to Audley's house and after he making us a couple of strong cups of coffee and looking through his killer vinyl collection we get down to business. In this interview you'll hear about Audley's beginnings, his guitar "mentor" (Ernie Johnson) that really opened his mind up to being a professional musician, the early years of Cry of Love and how he wrote the song "Peace Pipe" at a guitar shop in N.C. one day, how to play "Highway Jones", to auditioning and joining the Black Crowes, some amazing Jimmy Page stories, his current amp choices, advice for backing up singers, his influences and so much more.
Recorded at Audley's house, Nashville, TN., Feb. 2018

Mobile is more mainstream than ever – are we even saying smartphone anymore? Some of the more exciting technological innovations – now we have explored every size screen for every type of scenario may not start to come from its blending with the everyday objects around us – like footwear.
These new social football boots from Adidas are about to launch to the general public. They come with their own on board computer that stores data and helps analyse personal performance. As soon as wearers have finished playing, the boots transmit data wirelessly to computer, phone or tablet on speed, distance traveled and top speeds. Professional players will be able to start using the boots from mid-November and from then many of the world's most celebrated footballers will start sharing their stats with the Adidas community.
GTX Corp in the US have have partnered with footwear company Aetrex to design a shoe specifically targeted at Alzheimer's sufferers, with a miniature GPS tracking device embedded in the heel. The idea evolved when it became apparent that tracking devices typically used to locate people with Alzheimer's were being rejected by the wearers, usually because they did not recognize or were suspicious of them. Family members and carers can monitor the wearers of the smart shoe on an interactive map, viewed via their mobile or computer. There is also the option to programme "safe" areas, with a text being sent to a family member or carer if the wearer crosses this boundary.
Taken together one can't help consider the potential of bringing these two concepts together for the purpose of keeping track of teenage boys. But this, of course, veers rather wildly into the realm of optimally balancing privacy, safety, freedom and compulsive nosiness.

The aluminium torch, the creation of east London duo Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby, has been named Design Of The Year.
It has been hailed by prize organisers, the Design Museum, as a "beautiful symbol of the Olympic Games" which "also meets a demanding design brief".
The Duchess's dress, designed by Sarah Burton, was up for the fashion category which was won by Issey Miyake for the 132.5 collection.
The torch, which has been compared to a cheese grater or an ice cream cone, won best product and then beat other category winners to international Design Of The Year.
The object is perforated with 8,000 holes to represent each of the torch bearers carrying it on a nationwide trip to the July 27 lighting of the Olympic cauldron to start the Games.
As well as being decorative, the holes reduce the weight of the torch and prevent heat from the flame being conducted to the bearer's hand.
Design Museum director Deyan Sudjic said: "Nothing is harder to get right than designing for the Olympics.
"The lightness and simplicity of Barber Osgerby's Olympic torch does just that. The torch not only captures the spirit of London as Olympic host city but also demonstrates how design can celebrate traditional ideas in a modern way."
The Olympic Velodrome in east London took the architecture title and the transport gong was awarded to the redesign of the emergency ambulance.
The Olympic torch, along with the other shortlisted designs, is on show at the Design Museum in London until July 4.
Sir Steve Redgrave is the current 1/2 favourite to light the cauldron, followed by Dame Kelly Holmes and Tom Daley at 7/1.

Advanced Probiotics, Apple Stem Cells and Peptides work together to help plump and firm skin while diminishing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Humectant Hyaluronic Acid prevents water loss to keep skin hydrated. Antioxidant Vitamins A, C and E help accelerate cell renewal and boost collagen production. Easily layered into any skincare routine for smoother, more hydrated and radiant skin.

There Is Only One Weapon That Can Protect Seals
Twelve years ago I saw my first seal hunt video - young seals, clubs and blood. It was too much for my soft heart. I avoided ever looking at that kind of graphic footage again. Five years later, I was reintroduced while taking inventory of the film and video archives of the International Fund for Animal Welfare in London and discovered a treasure trove.
I eventually uncovered a seal documentary and was captivated by IFAW founder Brian Davies -his courage and tenacity, flying helicopters, sporting aviator glasses, diving under frozen ice and fighting the political system - all to save the baby seals. Looking deeper there was even more - death threats, spy tactics, knife attacks and destroyed helicopters.
(WARNING: Disturbing images.)
His story, IFAW's founding story, the story of the birth of the modern animal welfare movement was amazing and I knew that we needed to make a feature film. First we hired Richard Moos my fellow producer and then Brant Backlund as Director and then David Kennedy as Editor. After six years of research, negotiation, travel, filming and persistence - our vision came to fruition.

I was the primary producer and the production manager so my job was to keep track of the storyline, arrange interviews, sort logistics, ask the questions and try to keep things on time and on budget. It took many twists and turns along the way and was almost killed off several times, but I never gave up. Because of this my producing partners call me the Mother of "Huntwatch."

People like Sheryl Fink in the photo above inspired me to stick with it. Tough as nails, she is the modern day Davies bravely monitoring and documenting the hunt from helicopters and ice pans, careful to not interfere. You can't help but notice that this petite, young blonde is a bit like David versus Goliath. During our interview she said, "What are we going to do? They've got guns and hakapiks (clubs). We've got ... video cameras." The irony here is that in her free time, Sheryl is a serious body builder.
Speaking of fit, last year we engaged with Canadian actor Ryan Reynolds to become the narrator and finally finished our project. The resulting 90 minute film uncovers the 50 year battle over baby seals between activists, fishermen and politicians.
"Huntwatch" is ready to go and is making its world premiere at DOC NYC this month. If you're free on Saturday, Nov. 14,, come on out to the movies. It will be at the School of Visual Arts Theatre in Manhattan from 4:30 to 6:00p.m. Get tickets here - I would love to see you there! Not in NY?

What better start to the day does anyone need?
The snug warmth of a sleeping bag swapped for fleece and base-layers. The reflection of a pink dawn hue over the still waters of Little Loch Broom as the backdrop to breakfast: chilled fingers wrapped round a mug of steaming tea. The prospect of reasonable weather enhancing the taste of my loch-side muesli as another WH Meet began after a late-night drive north.
As the reflection disappeared under the advance of tidal ripples, the team assembled. Long-distance early starters mingled with bleary-eyed late-risers dashing round from Gairloch. The eager and the anxious gathered at Dundonnell chatting about conditions, hangovers and the prospect of needing to pack the added weight of winter gear.
Above, An Teallach awaited. All the way from sea-level, a pair of full-strength Munros and their adjacent serried pinnacles lurked to test our mettle.
Catching up, comparing experiences, forming friendships, discovering connections: the day began as those attending WH Meets in the past have come to expect. A snake of conversation slipped through the roadside shrubs by the two bungalows on the edge of Dundonnell and followed the path round the base of Meall Garbh. Jokes about parking next to the MRT base swung between black humour and worries about tempting fate. Sea-level was left behind and a cohort of nine chatted as the path gained height.
While continuing round to the Allt a Mhullin, navigational unanimity was stretched as a variety of photocopies, printouts, maps and gps plots, on at least two different devices, suggested the way ahead - or rather this way, or that way, or maybe even that way.
In the end, the majority followed the clear path etched into the hillside beside the Allt a Mhuillin while a splinter pair took a high-level route along the spine of Meall Garbh to enjoy early views to the coast and the Summer Isles.
The assorted groups reassembled within five or ten minutes of one another on the broad saddle beside Sron a Choire before skirting round to the bealach between Glas Mheall Mor and the first Munro summit of Bidein a Ghlas Thuill. There, debate ensued on the criteria to be met to qualify as a Munro. Knowing the almost innocuous warts and blimps that claim fame on the list, we felt sorry for Glas Mheall Mor, with its fine top standing proud above Strath Beag and at the end of a fine ridge. Some tops are just meant to be recognised on their own, irrespective of their status: they remain another excuse to come back.
So, we turned to the challenge ahead, and now there was little scope for differences of opinion on the way head. Gradually steepening and increasingly snowy, the trig point on the summit of Bidein a Ghlas Thuill stood out like a miniscule nipple high on the skyline above.
As Yazz once sang, "The only way is up," and we steeled ourselves for what was expected to be a tiring slog.
Conditions became increasingly "interesting" and as the snow became harder they gave a nagging sense that donning crampons or spikes might be a good idea. So, halfway up, we took the chance of a breather and then enjoyed the confidence using winter gear can give.
Until now, the top had been visible since leaving the saddle by Sron a Choire - but Sod's Law dictated that the clear skies we had enjoyed down in Dundonnell at the start of the day was well on the way to disappearing. The tiny spike of the trig point on the summit ridge began to drift in and out of view amidst the gathering cloud. It, and the surrounding tops, played peek-a-boo for the next few hours and tantalised our aspirations.
Spiked-up and wielding ice-axes, we gathered together at the trig point on Bidein a Ghlas Thuill just forty five minutes after leaving the bealach below and four hours from leaving the cars. There followed an exchange that dented my ability to fend off any semblance of advancing age.
"They've seen some service," said someone as they looked down at my own crampons. "They're like my dad's old Salewas," said someone else. "He used to hang them on the back of the door."
"Yes," I agreed. "Winter 1975 while at uni, and with the Stubai axe I'm still using they cost a good chunk of my grant that term."
"Streuth," intoned a duet. "They're older than me."
Some people instinctively know how to cultivate an affection for the youth of today.
Cloud and views continued to drift in and out while we snatched some sustenance, enjoyed the occasional glimpses of our spectacular surroundings, and pondered the options that lay ahead. The steep sweep down and back up to the Munro's twin peak, Sgurr Fiona, and the towering pinnacles beyond, both tempted and daunted in equal measure.
To all, the pinnacles were to be savoured over a long and lazy summer's day. To some, the initially steep descent and subsequent clamber to Sgurr Fiona could be left for a clearer times and more benign conditions. But, for John, Darren and I, the challenge of Sgurr Fiona was there to be addressed: bring it on.
While the half-dozen early-returners began their descent, we took their best wishes and placed orders for soup at Keith's in Laide later in the day. In the spirit of ensuring the technology of one of the country's major companies is fit-for-purpose, we also took reluctant charge of one of a pair of radios that had been brought north. for "testing."
As is often the case, the gradient beyond the summit of Bidein a Ghlas Thuill relented and the descent proved straightforward with banks of snow making for easy and safe progress. Nevertheless, we remained sceptical about the SMC guide timings of just thirty minutes between the two tops.
From the bealach we started the climb and, as recommended, traversed to the right as the summit came close. In patches the snow was a bit thin and needed care in places, but the route soon swung back to the left and the table-top summit was reached in a surprisingly brisk thirty eight minutes.
By now the skies were clearing again. More consistent views opened up and the intricacies of route-finding along the pinnacles and over Lord Berekely's seat were definitely to be shunned for a day of lingering in the warmth. While posing for the obligatory summit photos - right a bit, back a bit, a bit further, no not that far - a disembodied voice from the depths of my rucksack queried our progress and, with bizarre timing, warned us to take care.
With only a faint hope of catching the others on their descent to Dundonnell, we turned around and began our return to Bidein and beyond. The occasional glissade and the odd slither saw us back to the bealach and, in a similar time to the outward trip, found ourselves revisiting the trig point. No longer thronged with the WH Flash-Mob, and with visibility improving by the minute, we spent time exploring the views down gullies and crags we'd missed on the way up.
After shedding the winter gear we upped the pace. A combination of radio and text relayed the news that the others were planning to follow the high-level route over Meall Garbh before descending directly to the cars. So, we too stayed high and benefitted from the views north up the coast.
Beyond the nose of Meall Garbh the descent got steeper. Interminable zig-zags went back and forth each barely losing height. Cairn after cairn after cairn littered the clear path with little need for such proliferation. It seemed to take ages and the farm buildings below seemed to get no nearer.
Inevitably, the cars finally came into view and flagging spirits rose. We met the outward path and marvelled at the size of the cairn we must have missed on the outward part of the walk. However, it was one of those descents where you heave a sigh of relief at the end and exclaim "I'm glad we didn't have to go up that way."
There was another sigh of relief over five hundred miles further south as well. On the day before heading north I'd told my daughter I was snatching a quick trip to the WH Meet in Torridon. The news was greeted with one of those non-plussed "u-uh"s that conveyed an unspoken suggestion that I didn't do anything daft. The following weekend I was due to play the role of proud dad, walking her up the aisle.
I guess she had a point.
And that's why it's taken me so long to re-live the day in the paragraphs and photos of this report.

Good report.
I'm looking at tents ,as I like the idea of an early morning start miles from anywhere.
Waking up with the bog myrtle and morning dew.and a fry up.
Days/weekends like yours stick in the noggin .forever.

We did the same as you - missed the path for the high route on ascent then came down it and were thankful we'd missed it.
I thought when I saw Pauline at summit she'd taken a wean up there!

Still a mountain I have an appointment with, and from this excellent report it certainly looks like it would be good to do in winter - lots of adrenalin to keep one warm. Don't know if I'll be able to wait that long though: the glimpse of it last weekend really whetted the appetite, so I think it will be this summer...

Copper Mountain Wants You to Lie to Ski
That agency with our favorite name, Wexley School for Girls, has developed Everyone Deserves a Snow Day, a site that offers employers, employees and the unemployed tools to petition their boss, co-workers, supervisors, husbands, wives, girlfriends, boyfriends that they really, really need a day off to go skiing.
On the site you can, like making your porn start name, create your ski patrol name. And amont the many other available goodies, there's a Snow Day Soundboard tool that makes "sick noises" such as a cough, hack or sneeze among others, you can click on while in your office to spoof your boos into thinking you need a sick day. Which you, of course, will use to go skiing at Copper Mountain.
So if you like to ski, give this site a visit and let us know if it works.

If you have bonds in your investment portfolio, bond issuers typically pay you a fixed sum of interest, called a coupon, at regular intervals. Some bonds, referred to as zero-coupon bonds, vary in that they accrue interest instead. That means the interest is added to the bond, increasing its value. The more the value of the bond grows, the more interest it earns. Some of these zero-coupon bonds feature tax-free interest.
Taxes and Tax-Free Bonds
Local and state governments borrow money by selling bonds. Commonly called municipal bonds, these securities frequently pay interest that is exempt from federal, state and local income taxes. Municipal bonds may be zero-coupon bonds. You receive a 1099-INT form each year stating the amount of bond interest you've earned. You must report this interest as income on your tax return and attach the 1099-INT. However, since the interest is tax-free, you then get to deduct it back out of your taxable income.
Interest earned on U.S. savings bonds accrues just like interest on zero-coupon bonds. You aren't required to report interest until you cash in a savings bond. Savings bond interest normally is taxable. However, if you use the money to pay higher education expenses in the same year you redeem a savings bond, you can write the interest off on your taxes.

Bill McCutcheon (May 23, 1924 - January 9, 2002) played Uncle Wally on Sesame Street from 1984 to 1992.
Born in Russell, Kentucky, McCutcheon majored in drama at Ohio University, and moved to New York City in the 1940s, working for bandleader Freddy Martin as a trumpet player. He performed at clubs and on Broadway in the 1950s. He also began work in commercials during this period and played Dropo in the low-budget comedy fantasy Santa Claus Conquers the Martians, which later became a cult favorite through airings on Mystery Science Theater 3000.
Prior to joining the cast of Sesame Street, McCutcheon had worked with Bob Keeshan on the television series Mister Mayor and on Captain Kangaroo (as Mr. Homans in 1965). During the 1980s, he appeared in several Broadway revivals, including You Can't Take It With You (as Mr. DePinna), The Front Page (as Mr. Pincus), The Man Who Came to Dinner (as John), and Anything Goes. His appearance as Moonface Martin in the latter netted a Tony Award for Best Featured Actor in a Musical in 1988. Later film roles included appearances in Vibes (with Jeff Goldblum), Steel Magnolias (as Shirley MacLaine's beau), Tune in Tomorrow (with Peter Falk) and Mr. Destiny (with Michael Caine).

|Huts and seashore in Wales
If the BBC story on the latest sally by a government against encryption, this time by the Australians, accurately reflects that government's position, the Australian Prime Minister could definitely benefit from the example of King Canute. The BBC quotes Mr. Turnbull as saying "The laws of mathematics are very commendable, but the only law that applies in Australia is the law of Australia."
OK then. Meanwhile, back in reality, powerful ciphering algorithms and the computers to implement these all exist.
