What do you call someone who hangs around with musicians?
A drummer.
How many drummers does it take to screw in a light bulb?
None. They have machines to do that now.
What's the difference between a drummer and a drum machine?
You only have to punch the information into a drum machine once.
How can you tell if there is a drummer at your door?
The knocking speeds up or, worse yet, he never knows when to come in.
As you can see by this short selection of jokes, drummers take a beating and are always on the short end of the stick. Granted there are plenty of slams about other musicians, but people who pound on things and call it music receive no mercy from those playing the melodic instruments.
Of course it's all in good fun and we could say, like most derogatory and poor taste jokes, the attempt at humor comes from a sense of envy and a degree of jealousy. Think about it, fellow musicians: most drummers I know can play other instruments at least a little bit, but how many guys who sling a guitar, tickle the keys or slap a bass can keep a steady beat for four hours? Beats me.
The fact remains, drummers usually have the most equipment to haul around (watch a band tear down sometime), require a special practice area (turn those drums down, Junior!) and carry the weight of keeping a band together and on time.
With all this in mind, allow me to introduce the inaugural Drumfest, an event created to pay tribute to the regulators of rhythm and acknowledge the importance of our timekeepers by giving those beaters and shakers, tappers and thumpers a day of recognition and reward for years of making sure the beat goes on. Local longtime drummer Dan Shaughnessy envisioned Drumfest to honor percussionists as integral members of the music world and as a way for the guy in the back of the band to give back to the community at a daylong festival through a combination of teaching and performing.
"Drumfest should be both inspirational and educational to anyone interested in percussion as a career or a hobby or just likes the drums," Shaughnessy explained. "Most of the drummers are teachers at local music stores or in popular bands and a couple even have endorsements from large percussion manufacturers."
The hoopla begins at 11 a.m. on Sunday, May 16, at Frankie's 49er with lessons by Ron Engel on hand drums and continues with Mark Janis at 11:25 and John Vickers at 11:45 on the trap set or what we know as the familiar drum kit. Mike Newberry and John Sluzalis conduct seminars from 12:10 to 1 p.m. on trap set performance, then the band music begins about 1 p.m. Other drummers scheduled to smack the skins include Tom Summerlin, Mark Cole, Greg Fundis, Reggie Britton, Nat Radwine, Larry Harness, Jose Santiago and Shaughnessy. The list continues to expand as more drummers hear about the opportunity to play with fellow percussionists and join in.
"When I started asking drummers if they would be interested in something like this the response was amazing," reported Shaughnessy. "The best part is it's all free to the public as a gift from area drummers with donations accepted for St. Jude's Hospital."
Musicians other than drummers playing on various incidental instruments such as guitars, basses and keyboards include members of Suns of Circumstance, Cats on Holiday, the Station, Screamin' Vatos, 56 Hope Road, Triple Lindy, Hip Bone Sam and others. Now that we have Guitar Town and Drumfest, can other musicians be far behind with celebrations of each and every instrument? The word on the streets and in the gutter says BassBurg is on the books coming in June. Know how to get a bass player off your porch? Pay him for the pizza.

I'm an Amanda Marcotte fan, but I'm also one of those atheists like Robert Farley who doesn't really get her hostility to theological debates. Nor do I think there's any reason to doubt that Andrew Sullivan, et al, are sincere in their faith. Lots of intelligent people really are devout believers, and to suggest otherwise seems either profoundly misguided or just plain churlish.
Given all of that, I think there's value for nonbelievers in figuring out why intelligent people believe, and in grappling with theological claims on their home turf. Back around Christmastime I wrote a series of posts about atheism in which I argued, among other things, that atheists could benefit from understanding theological claims as an indirect way of describing the structure of the claimant's perceptual experiences.
So take for example Andrew Sullivan's understanding of Hell. He says:
Whereas in fact Hell is, in orthodox terms, is simply our refusal to accept the love of God. Our inability to accept it. And that exists on Earth as it does after death. We can be living in Hell right now if we do not accept the love that is openly given us by God, the Father and the son. And that is what Hell is. Heaven is simply the ability to let go of your pride and let God in.
One way to react to all of this is just to take offense at Sullivan's assertion that we nonbelievers are in Hell and ascribe all sorts of unsavory motives to that claim. Or you could just mock Sullivan's faith and suggest that he's some kind of dumb rube for believing what he does. But I don't think either of those possible responses are all that useful or interesting. I'd rather take a closer look at Sullivan's reasons for believing what he does and consider how those shape his interface with the world. That doesn't mean you can't be critical of those claims. But for Spider-Man's sake, at least be critical in an engaged, interesting way.
Since I've blogged a bit about Nietzsche recently, I might as well note that he had some very engaged and interesting ways of responding to the sort of doctrine Sullivan espouses above. In Thus Spake Zarathustra he calls those who speak of Hell on earth as "preachers of death" who "carry around within themselves the beast of prey and have no choice but lust or self-laceration." The point being that, in Nietzsche's view, this urge to embrace the eternal and escape from the worldly represents a sort of fear and loathing of the world as it is. His response is to embrace the world — what the preachers of death call Hell — just as those same preachers embrace what they call God and Nietzsche calls death.
I don't subscribe to Nietzsche's scorched-earth style, but I think there's a kernel of insight and psychological acuity in his writing you won't find in a blithe dismissal of all faith as meaningless bullshit. And even if you disagree, at least Nietzsche's making a proper argument out of it.

In an election that could reshape its municipal government for years to come, Inglewood voters sent a strong message to incumbent Judy Dunlap, and forged forward with Alex Padilla, George Dotson, Mike Stevens and Carliss Richardson McGhee on Tuesday April 2.
Dunlap's stronghold on Council District -2 took a tremendous blow when candidate Padilla won 49 percent of the vote nearly winning the seat outright. In a low voter turnout, Padilla got 699 votes to Dunlap's 450, but the Inglewood City Clerk office had yet to certify the results at Sentinel press-time. The Sentinel backed Padilla.
Padilla could conceivably win the seat after the final tally or will force the 20-year councilwoman into a runoff.
Meanwhile in Council District 1, two Sentinel endorsed candidates were forced into runoffs when George Dotson garnered 45 percent of the vote with 975, and Mike Stevens came in second with 31 percent of the vote (686). Daniel K. Tabor finished third with 366 votes for 16.9 percent.
In local school board races, Richardson-McGhee easily won with 76 percent of the vote rejoining board member Arnold Butler who ran unopposed. La Deidre J. Wilson 56 percent to 43 percent was defeating Margaret Richard-Bowers. The Sentinel endorsed Richardson-McGhee and Richard-Bowers in their bids for the Inglewood School Board.
Voters also decided to overwhelmingly to approve Measure P Publishing (Charter Amendment – Majority Approval Required) and Measure W Waiver of Further Reading — (Charter Amendment – Majority Approval Required). Measure P got 2,888 votes for 71 percent and Measure W got 56 percent of the vote.

|コクヨウ Kokuyō
|Naruto Shippūden Episode #235
|Appears in
|Voice Actors
Kokuyō (コクヨウ, Kokuyō) is a puppeteer who violently sought the hand of Shizuka in marriage even though she spurned his advances in order to rule the Nadeshiko Village.
Wanting to rule over the Nadeshiko Village, Kokuyō challenged the leader, Shizuka, in an attempt to defeat her so she would be forced to marry him per the village's rules. Because of his ambition, Kokuyō ended up challenging Shizuka ninety-eight times with his puppets, but each one had been easily destroyed by the latter.
From all indications, Kokuyō was a selfish man that didn't want to marry out of love but instead to gain power. He was also shown to be a relentless individual, but is willing to bide his time, making a plan which battling against Shizuka ninety-nine times with different puppets so he could use a technique to bring her in against her will.
Kokuyō has long brown hair that framed his angular face and dark eyes. He wears square-rimmed glasses, a light pink shirt with a purple waistcoat over it, a pair of white trousers and brown shoes.
He is a puppeteer who utilises the Puppet Technique to control his robot-like puppets. He utilises the Hundred Puppet Soul Binding, an elaborate technique that drove "bolts" into his opponents each time they destroyed his puppet. After destroying the hundredth puppet, he gained the ability to control the target in a similar manner to the Puppet Performance: Skilful Achievement with a Human Body technique albeit forcefully.
Part II
Paradise Life on a Boat
Kokuyō made his début seemingly catching up with Shizuka and her attendant Tokiwa. Declaring that he would win her hand in marriage, his puppet is however destroyed by Shizuka using her Nadeshiko-Style Hardliner Revolving Cut. He is subsequently sent flying away due to the explosion.
He later interrupts Shizuka's match with Naruto Uzumaki, capturing her with an even larger puppet robot. After Shizuka destroys the hundredth puppet, his Hundred Puppet Soul Binding technique is activated and he explains what the technique does as he takes control of Shizuka's body. Naruto, however, easily cuts his chakra threads and sends him flying using the Rasengan.

PCP (Personal Contract Purchase) a simple cost effective way to buy your new or nearly new vehicle.
You choose the vehicle, the deposit, how long you want the contract to run for and the mileage you intend to do. You will then receive a quote for fixed cost motoring for the length of the contract. At the end of the contract you have a choice to either buy the vehicle outright for an agreed lump sum (the Guaranteed Minimum Future Value or final balloon payment), or hand the vehicle back to the lender.
Call us for more details
Hire Purchase allows you to take ownership of a vehicle once all payments are made.
This is one of the most popular methods to buy a new vehicle. You pay an initial deposit, then pay off the balance in monthly payments over an agreed period of time, when the payments are complete the vehicle is yours.
One of the main benefits with Hire Purchase is the ability to buy a high value vehicle on monthly payments.
Hire Purchase allows you to tailor your finance package as deposit, length of time and monthly payments are all flexible.

Personal contract hire is very similar to normal contract hire, but is exclusively for private individuals. This is one of the most common form of leasing.
With a personal contract hire agreement you take control of a vehicle for a contractual period - usually referred to as the 'lease period'. You will make fixed monthly payments for the duration of the contract - when the contract expires you will simply return the vehicle and take out a new personal contract hire lease. PCH means you never have to worry about resale values of your vehicle.

June 26, 2014
By Kenneth D. Miller
Assistant Managing Editor
The sun was peeking through the clouds on Thursday June 19 as hundreds of teenage students from Washington Prep High School and family members crammed into Union Missionary Baptist Church on 110th St. in Watts.
Two weeks before, Clayton Mikel Shuford aka "Speedy" was living a life full of promise.
A former football player for Washington Prep in Los Angeles, the 18-year old was gunned down in the early morning hours of June 5.
The service was scheduled to start at eleven, but did not begin until twenty past, the choir section occupied by those wanting to pay their final respects to Speedy. All pew rows filled beyond their capacity. Some stood alongside the walls and others jammed the galley. Still others stood outside.
Teen boys' haircuts were scripted with $peedy, football teammates clasping his full color obituary.
His torn mother Nina Roberts, handicapped from a brain tumor, and who also lost a daughter in 2005 to a senseless murder, was accompanied by Speedy's estranged father Clay Sr.
Sisters Norese, Charlese, Sherrel, Che'kera, Cladra and brothers Clay and Cahlil all nearby the woman they called their queen to comfort her as best they can.
Bobbi Green, Speedy's former teacher was among those sitting in the choir section. Her face soaked with tears, the tissue in her hands drenched from wiping them away came back to say goodbye.
She had last seen him a few years ago when she taught him in her classroom, but stayed in touch through text messages. She left work to be at the funeral to process her pain.
His mother urged many of the teens to join church. She recalled the last time she saw him alive in the wee hours of that fateful morning when he said that he was going to hang out with a female friend.
By all accounts, Speedy liked joking, hanging out and enjoyed smoking pot, but he was a good dude. Just a year before, he graduated from Washington Prep in 2013 with honors in the Magnet Program. He was finishing his first semester at Southwest College.
Speedy was doing everything he could to give himself a chance in life, an opportunity to make it.
Clay Sr., looked Clay Jr. in the eye from the pulpit while speaking of his slain son, and encouraged, "We are going to get through this."
Junior, perhaps reflecting the most pain, crumpled down to his knees, uncontrollable with his pain and consoled by friends of his youngest brother.
Speedy's football coach represented the strength of the occasion.
"There have been 25 murders," he exclaimed.
"This is too much, you young people need to get God into your lives before it's too late."
The circumstances of Speedy's death are suspicious by relatives and close friends' accounts, and no one has been arrested for the crime.
The family relied on the Victims of Violent Crime program to pay for the services. A teacher purchased flowers just hours before the service to complete the arrangements.
It is a surreal experience that is all too common in the African American community.
A community that is suffering at the peril of its own.
A community where a teen is murdered and a community is speechless.
A community where the code of silence is don't look and don't tell.
It is becoming a warzone within itself. Speedy is the latest to be struck down way too soon, but sadly he won't be the last until we desperately stop ourselves.

I recently came across this blog post on whether your coworkers are just your coworkers or also your friends. It was actually published on my new company's blog back in 2008. I found the article extremely interesting. I liked how the author personalized the topic by describing her relationship with her coworkers. Here's an excerpt:
Being 24 years old, living in a city, and having come from a company full of 45 year old financial consultants I thought to myself 'self, you are going to work with a bunch of cool 20 somethings and drink beers with them, and hang out, and be friends.' Right, totally. So after a few months, I found myself enjoying this office, these 20 somethings, and the general fun that goes along with hanging out with your co-workers. The problem then becomes, are these people friends? Or are they coworkers?
She goes on to wonder if you can hang out with coworkers in a bar or restaurant (saying all the things friends say to one another in bars and restaurants), and then have a totally professional relationship with them while at work. I've sometimes grappled with this question. I like how the author went on to ask her CEO his opinion, and I like even more his response:
"…in your 20's the people you work with can be very much part of your social network, you spend a ton of time together, usually share similar interests, and are forced in to close quarters. After 29, all bets are off – your life changes, you get married, have kids, then you spend less time worrying about making friends at work and more about managing the friendships you already have [or wondering why you have no friends]."
I really identify with these thoughts. For much of my 20s I spent lots of my free time with coworkers. I mean, it's really easy to just head over to a bar or restaurant after work with your colleagues, especially if you work downtown. You all have a TON to talk about, as you spend so much time together every day. You can gossip about a coworker who's not there, discuss your thoughts on a new work policy, or exchange opinions on the company's evolution.
Now that I'm approaching 30, however, I find myself spending less time with coworkers and more time with friends I already have. Maybe that's because I'm more settled than I was before (I'm engaged, don't have plans to move, etc.), and have built a more balanced, multifaceted life.
To me it makes more sense to cultivate a wide variety of friendships than to largely hang out with coworkers. As you get older, you realize that friends are more than just who you are currently spending time with. They are the people you'll continue to spend time with (or keep in touch with).
Often coworkers are just people you happen to be with at the moment, not people you'll maintain relationships with after leaving the company. So your time is better spent figuring out who your friends are, in all realms of life, and spending time with those people.

Editor's note: The recipe and introductory text below are from Extreme Barbecue: Smokin' Rigs and Real Good Recipes, by Dan Huntley and Lisa Grace Lednicer. To read Epicurious's review of the cookbook, go to Summer Cooking Guides.
Smoking whole fish on the grill is deliciously rewarding, and if you haven't tried it before, you'll be surprised at how easy it is — and quick, compared to pork or chicken. There's no brining or curing here — essentially, the fish is "baked" in a tantalizing chamber of wood smoke. Hickory will flavor the fish strongly; you may prefer a milder wood such as oak. Feel free to substitute bass, flounder, catfish, bream, crappie, or whatever good-tasting fish you have available.
- Yield
- Makes 12-15 servings
- 3 whole gutted salmon, each about 2 1/2 pounds and 4 inches thick, head on or off
- Build a fire in a smoker/grill for indirect heat. Maintain a temperature of about 300°F.
- Put each fish in an aluminum foil roasting pan, bending the short ends if necessary to lay the fish flat. Place the fish "boats" in the cooker on the side opposite the coals.
- Smoke the fish for about 35 minutes. (Smaller fish will take 8 to 10 minutes per inch of thickness.) The salmon is done when it is almost opaque throughout but still pink in the center. (If substituting white fish, cook until opaque throughout.)
- Remove the salmon from the smoker. Transfer to a cutting board and fillet or cut into steaks, or place on a large platter and carve at the table.

CHICAGO -- There was a time, just over a year ago, when it would have taken the world for the White Sox to trade Jose Contreras...
There was a time, just over a year ago, when it would have taken the world for the White Sox to trade Jose Contreras.
That time is long gone.
Now the Sox might not be able to give him away.
After another poor start -- nine runs allowed in 4 2/3 innings in Wednesday night's 13-9 loss to the Tigers -- Contreras is looking less and less like a piece a contender might deal for before Tuesday's non-waiver trade deadline.
"If scouts are looking at him, the velocity was there, not bad, but the command was real bad," manager Ozzie Guillen said. "You can say, 'Can we fix it?' or 'Might he pitch better against particular teams?' So many things scouts can think.
"Right now, if he pitches the way he pitch last night, you will be scratching your head and saying, 'I don't know if we are going to make this move.'
"But this game goes so crazy and people do so many stuff that you never know what will happen."
The New York Mets, thought to be one of the teams most in need of starting pitching and willing to take a chance on Contreras, had a scout in attendance Wednesday at U.S. Cellular Field.
"It was the most confident today coming out of the bullpen the whole year," Contreras said after Wednesday's game. "I really thought I was going to have a good outing, just let a couple pitches high and nothing was working out."
His velocity was up some, but so were those pitches.
"I wouldn't say (he's) fading, because he goes out there, and I think if he eliminates a few mistakes, he's fine," catcher Toby Hall said. "Right now, it's snowballed. He still has the stuff."
Despite Contreras being 1-9 with an 8.27 ERA over his last 11 starts, Guillen said the Sox haven't discussed moving him out of the rotation.
Sending A Message
Guillen said if the Sox are going to contend next year, they're going to need a massive overhaul of their roster.
"We are going to do something different here, and obviously, there's going to be new blood," Guillen said.
Danks for Nothing
Though starting pitcher John Danks didn't get the win Thursday, he impressed Guillen.
"I love it. He throw the ball unbelievable good," Guillen said.
Danks allowed three runs on six hits in 6 2/3 innings, but it was his fifth strikeout that was the biggest. With men on second and third with one out in the seventh, Danks fanned the dangerous Curtis Granderson.
Ehren Wassermann came in and retired Placido Polanco to end the threat.
"Obviously, I feel a lot more comfortable now," Danks said. "I still need to make some pitches, but for the most part, I feel like I did a good job."
Fun in the Sun
Former Sox general manager Roland Hemond, who had been serving the Sox as an executive adviser, was named assistant to the president of the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Hemond, who lives in Arizona, was the Sox GM from 1971-85.

SOUTHFIELD — Dan Behm, president and co-founder of Open System Technologies, an IT firm based in Grand Rapids, has been named the Grant Thornton Leader & Innovator of the Year.
The award was announced at Thursday night's reception at Lawrence Technological University, which co-sponsors the annual award along with Grant Thornton LLP, WWJ Newsradio 950 and the Great Lakes Innovation and Technology Report. Behm was chosen from nearly 50 nominees profiled during the past 12 months in GLITR.
The Leaders & Innovators program was developed in 2005 by Lawrence Tech to recognize Michigan business and nonprofit executives who are engaged in cutting-edge professions and industries expected to be key to Michigan's economic future. The profiles that appear on Tuesdays in GLITR are edited by Matt Roush, who served as master of ceremonies at the reception.
"The collective work of the individuals recognized this year is truly changing opportunities and diversifying the economy in our state. They are an inspiration to us all," said Lawrence Tech President Lewis Walker.
Founded in 1997, OST was originally a computer hardware sales company. Under Behm's leadership, OST has become a $68 million technology company driven by software and service in four growing economic sectors: health care, manufacturing and distribution, finance and insurance, and enterprise technology.
OST is an employee-owned company with an award-winning culture. Its professional IT offerings include application development, managed services, and data center products and services. It builds custom apps for businesses, provides outsourcing of server and storage administration, and helps large companies optimize the performance, availability, and capacity of their servers and storage.
Over the past three decades, Behm has worked with more than 500 customers and partners in the technology marketplace and now uses his broad experience to help OST customers make transformational changes to enable them to compete in the marketplace.
In 2011, he won the Ernst &Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award for Michigan and Northern Ohio in the technology category. He serves on the advisory board for the HP division of Arrow ECS, an $800 million distributor of HP hardware and software.
Behm serves on the Metro Health Foundation in Grand Rapids, and OST supports local community nonprofit agencies such as Steepletown, Kids' Food Basket, Supper House, and many others.
After graduating with honors from Michigan State University, Behm spent 10 years with IBM as a senior buyer, manufacturing and systems engineer, and advisory sales rep, before co-founding OST.
In accepting his award, Behm said it's possible to look at parts of Michigan and "feel like we lost our heart …. there are still places where it's painful, and a lot of people are still out of work." But he said he now believes "Michigan is really starting a turnaround. It's been a long 10 years, but the sun is starting to shine through." And he said entrepreneurial business is a major part of that recovery.
At OST, he said, "we talk about our people being first, the customers being second, and everything else will follow, including profitability. Customers have asked, 'How can we be second?' But the reality is, if we really take care of our people, then they really take care of the customers, and you don't have turnover."

satellite, artificial
satellite, artificial, object constructed by humans and placed in orbit around the earth or other celestial body (see also space probe). The satellite is lifted from the earth's surface by a rocket and, once placed in orbit, maintains its motion without further rocket propulsion. The first artificial satellite, Sputnik I, was launched on Oct. 4, 1957, by the USSR; a test payload of a radio beacon and a thermometer demonstrated the feasibility of orbiting a satellite. The first U.S. satellite, Explorer I, launched on Jan. 31, 1958, returned data that was instrumental in the discovery of the Van Allen radiation belts. During the first decade of space exploration, all of the satellites were launched from either the United States or USSR. Today, there are more than three dozen launch sites in use or under construction in more than a dozen countries.

Best. Saturday. Ever.
I visited my almost-frenchie, Lily! She's just a giant ball of cuteness. I watched her play with her momma Olive and her sister May for a while then realized how lucky I am…Knowing I have a happy, healthy, and well-loved furbaby on the way makes the long search for her totally and completely worth it. And she's already making those frenchie noises! I die.
I kind of cheated with the last picture though–it's of Lily's sister. She liked sitting on his shoes!!! How could I not post something so adorable?
We left Lily, May, and Olive's house starving but already knew where we were going to eat–Prep Kitchen! It was recommended to my sister and I by the lovely folks who are currently raising my baby girl. It was delicious. It's a restaurant that serves "home cooked" food like salads, sandwiches, pasta, antipasti, and wine. Sister had the sea bass and I had baked rigatoni with egg plant, mozzarella, and peppers. I have a mad sweet tooth so grabbed a brownie (with pecans and caramel on top!) and a chocolate chip cookie on the way out. I would definitely recommend that place if you're ever near one. Not going to lie though–I felt like a hipster just eating there.
All in all a great great day. Next big event–HONG KONG!
I also have a pair of socks I'm almost finished knitting (i've been working on them for MONTHS). Expect them to be posted in the next few days or so, hopefully before I leave!

Hi Izabelle-
I love your blog! You and your sister are just amazing, creative young women!
We are so glad you liked the PrepKitchen- yes, It's a bit of a "hangout", but their reputation for great food is well deserved.
I am going to check out all your links to your knitting- your family is so talented. Knitting is one of the things I am dying to learn to do. I love to put the different colors and textures together- perhaps I will get inspired by you to push myself along…The pictures of Lilly and May are gorgeous. We will take some while you are gone and email them to you.
Have a wonderful time in HK.
Warmest regards,
Debbie & (Howard)

West Indies have secured an impressive 2-0 test series victory over New Zealand on Sunday with Shivnarine Chanderpaul guiding them to a five-wicket win in the second test at Sabina Park, Jamaica.
Needing just 71 further runs to win with six second innings wickets remaining, the calm presence of the 37-year-old Guyanese left hander, who finished unbeaten on 43, ensured there was no late scare for the Caribbean side.
Nightwatchman Kemar Roach had some fun, making 41 before he slashed a wide ball from Kane Williamson to Tim Southee at backward point.
Narsingh Deonarine, whose bowling spell of 4-37 turned the game to West Indies favour as New Zealand managed just 154 in their second innings, joined Chanderpaul to see Darren Sammy's team to their target.
The test series defeat, coming after losing the one day series in the Caribbean, was a disappointing end to New Zealand coach John Wright's spell in charge of the team and leaves plenty of questions for his successor Mike Hesson to deal with.
The tour included two Twenty20 games, five one day internationals as well as the two tests and all New Zealand could manage was a solitary win in the one-day series.
"It has been a disappointing tour all round," said skipper Ross Taylor. "We had our chances in this match, like we had chances in a lot of the matches but winning is a habit and we were beaten by a better team at the end of the day.
"Our batting needs to a take a good hard look at ourselves."
A tour of India later this month ensures that the young New Zealand team will have little time for contemplation however and they will need to handle spin far better than they did on this tour.
For West Indies, whose next assignment is the Twenty20 World Cup, the victory was reward for coach Ottis Gibson and skipper Darren Sammy who have worked hard to re-establish the Caribbean team through a new generation of players.
"We have gotten the feeling of what it is like to win but it is about continuous hard work now," said Sammy.
"The performances are coming from different players at different times and that is the hallmark of a good team," he added.
"The last year or two has been tough for us, we are going to celebrate this now but then it is about getting the wins consistently."

Yesterday was Martin Luther King day. That actually led me to think some more about the Occupy Movement and their slogan, the 99%.
Movements for economic justice have repeatedly had their backs broken over the race issue. In the 19th century, the surging Populist Movement tried to ignore race and bring poor whites and blacks together. But it was destroyed in the South over race. We limped into the 20th century without major reforms although the Progressive Movement that brought Woodrow Wilson to the White House enacted pieces of the Populist creed and the Roosevelt Administration enacted more.
But the Roosevelt Administration also steered clear of race in ways that would have an enormous impact on America. Read the rest of this entry »

I use the tools of evolutionary ecology to help understand cumulative cultural dynamics in human societies. Specifically, I look at innovation and strategic retention of ideas and technology in noisy environments, and the demographic aspects of cultural change. I do this through formal theoretical models, the analysis of large-scale economic and behavioral datasets, and through ethnographic fieldwork with Amazonian horticulturalists in collaboration with the Tsimane Health and Life History Project.

Thank you for the prayers!
Handsome's procedures at Children's Hospital started at 2pm on Thursday. He wanted nothing to do with the hospital gown, so he went back to the operating room holding his Ted and wearing nothing except a pull-up. He looked adorable, of course! Evidently they clothed him once he was under anesthesia, because he came back to me wearing a gown.
I went out to a family conference room and anxiously waited for the first doctor to come out. my husband was at home with our five year old, so I was by myself. It took awhile, but the first doctor came out and told me he was done with the bronchoscopy and laryngoscopy and everything looked perfect--no clefts anywhere!! Woohoo!! This was the news I was expecting, but it still was good to hear. :) Then he gave me color glossy photographs of Handsome's vocal cords. Pretty neat!
I waited for awhile longer before the next doctor came out. This time it was the GI doctor. Handsome's endoscopy looked GREAT and so did his tummy--no ulcers, no twists in the duodenum. And, his tummy showed no visible signs (ie irritation, redness, etc) of food allergies. He took biopsies as well and we'll get those results later. Aaaaand, he gave me color glossy pictures too! Pictures of stomach acid (bubbles!), tummy, esophagus...all looking nice and healthy.
After that Handsome was off to the MRI (I didn't see him between any of these procedures and he was under anesthesia for everything.) Finally I found out what his hospital room would be, so I headed there to wait for him.
After his MRI, his resTech probe was placed before he woke up from the anesthesia. This is a new kind of probe that Children's has just started using. It was threaded through his nose and into the back of his mouth (most ph probes go way farther down.) The point of this probe was to see how often he refluxed so high up that he risked aspirating stomach acid.
While I was waiting for him, someone came from the GI lab to give me instructions on the probe. I had a little (palm size) computer to push buttons on every time he coughed, ate, sat down, etc. Plus a log to fill out that documented everything he did for the next 24 hours.
At about 4:30pm, I heard Handsome crying down the hall--turns out I could hear him while he was still in the elevator. My boy is LOUD! He was still groggy and was very unhappy. A nurse brought him down the hall in a wheeled crib and he was one upset baby. He was most upset that both his arms were restrained so that he couldn't bend them and yank out the probe.
He screamed for the next 1.5 hours or so...it was pretty miserable. At one point he managed to rip off one of his restraints--that shocked the nurses! He also kept clawing at the IV ports that still were in his hand. I was so nervous that he was going to rip those out!! He screamed even louder and kicked and flailed when the nurse tried to take his blood pressure and listen to his heart--he usually LOVES that kind of stuff, but he obviously was scared of all procedures at this point. Poor baby.
Finally I got him semi-calmed down and was able to take him to the playroom and distract him for a little while. Poor baby still was wobbly though and he really couldn't play with anything because he couldn't bend his arms at all. :(
(You can see one of his restraints sticking out from his gown in this picture...he could only swipe at the toys...not very fun!) We went back to the room and I petitioned the nurse (again!) to get permission to remove the IV ports from his hand--I knew they wouldn't be needed. She was really reluctant, but finally called the GI residents who were on call. They came fairly quickly and were really nice. Luckily they agreed that the IV port should come out.
The nurse took Handsome's left arm restraint off to get the IV port out (the restraints went from his arm pits all the way down past his knuckles.) He was SO much happier with the one restraint off, so I had her leave it off so that he could feed himself. Plus the probe was taped onto his right cheek, so it was harder for him to reach anyhow.
(Here he is with just one arm board on--he was much happier like this!) He was a lot better after that. The only problem was that he wanted NOTHING to do with hospital food. He spent the next 24 hours eating cheerios, applesauce, and animal crackers. Oh and he consented to eat a banana. He would only drink water. And he hardly wanted any food at all--his eating was NOTHING like it is at home. NOTHING at all like it. :( So frustrating. I don't think he even refluxed once...probably because he was eating bland food and just picking at stuff. This is my child who refluxes all.the.freaking.time at home. Soooo frustrating!!
Anyhow, my mom came to see him in the evening and we went for a walk around the hospital. I let him stay up late in the hope that it would make him more tired (it didn't!) and then we crawled into bed together. I spent the night watching him because I was scared he would accidentally pull the probe out. Any time his free hand wandered near his face, I moved it down. It was a long exhausting night. Every time the nurses came in, they were amazed I was awake. I was soooooo tired...but he kept that probe in!
In the morning we received the wonderful news that his MRI was clear!! No more worrying about his brain pushing on his spinal column and the nerves in that area! Phew!!! This was FANTASTIC news!
Handsome was doing a good job not touching the probe, so in the morning I took the second restraint off and he was a lot happier. Handsome and I spent more time exploring the hospital, playing in the playroom, and playing outside in the play-yard. He also spent a lot of time playing his Leapster, which he loved! At home I ration his Leapster time pretty strictly.
We had fun together and he did not want to leave the hospital! He told me he wanted Mama-Handsome time all the time and cried when I told him that we had to leave the hospital.
The probe was taped onto his cheek REALLY securely. It was plastered on from just below his eye, down to his chin and from the side of his nose, almost back to his ear. They were really worried he'd yank it out! Anyhow, it was miserable for him to have all that sticky stuff yanked off his face and it didn't help that his eczema was acting up--he ended up with bloody patches on his face. :( Poor baby.
24 hours after we entered the hospital, we were cleared to leave...my little guy was so sad--he loves the hospital now! I'm hoping he was groggy enough when he first arrived in his hospital room that he doesn't remember those miserable first couple of hours.
We go back again in a week or two (I need to schedule the appointment) for the results of the probe and the biopsies--but I doubt anything showed results. I'm so frustrated by the probe because I know the results will be skewed by his lack of eating and the bland foods that he did ingest. We've been home for a few days now and he's back to his regular refluxing...SO FRUSTRATING!!! Don't get me wrong--I'm thrilled with most of the test results...just upset that the one thing that we KNOW is a problem is giving us a skewed result.

Actually, he did surprisingly well! The novelty of having unrestricted access to his Leapster (educational handheld gaming system) as well as the opportunity to watch DVDs in the car...well, that combo worked wonders! We *rarely* ever put the DVD player in the car (I think this was the third time) so that was a really big deal to him!
I also called and got permission to let him have popsicles in the morning (since they're basically flavored water) so I chopped some up and he ate them with a spoon...I thought that would make him feel like he actually was eating something.

I am so glad to hear that the results have come out well! I know how frustrated you must be about the refluxing thing, when you know at home he does it all the time! I bet you ARE exhausted after that exciting night! You are such a wonderful mom! I hope you are able to get some well-deserved rest now! :)

Oh - It sounds like his results are so great! That is good news, right? I am sorry he had to go through so much. My son went through some similar things for reflux when he was 3. He ended up having an operation for it, but is doing great now. What a brave little guy you have!

Hey! Glad the procedures had good results. Phew! You are one strong Momma! I bet you are zonked and beyond ready for a 24 hour nap girl!
Thx for letting me know about the baggies. It was the clear ones I was wondering about and I didn't even think to look in the Wilton section. Duh! Don't you know I wandered about every other aisle and the folks working (really young kiddos that evening) had zero clue what I was talking about when I asked if they could guide me in the right direction!!!
You're a lifesaver!

Glad to hear you got such great results. I can just imagine the frustration on not getting accurate probe results. You just never know how they will do in the hospital do you?
I was nodding along with you when you talked about rationing the Leapster at home. For us it is a Wiggles DVD. It is pretty much hospital only. We were admitted less than 24 hours ago and have already watched it 3 times. :)
I hope the probe results are more telling than you hoped! :)

(Reuters) – The U.S. government has joined a lawsuit from college and professional sports leagues seeking to stop New Jersey from implementing a law that would allow gambling on sports in the state.
In papers filed in a New Jersey federal court on Tuesday, the U.S. Department of Justice said it wants to defend the constitutionality of a federal law that restricts sports gambling.
New Jersey's law, signed last year by Governor Chris Christie, would allow sports betting at the state's racetracks and at Atlantic City casinos. It would allow the racetracks and casinos to apply for licenses and open gambling operations for amateur and professional sports.
A slew of leagues, including the National Collegiate Athletic Association, the National Football League, Major League Baseball, the National Basketball Association and the National Hockey League, sued the state in August, saying the law would violate the federal restrictions on sports betting.
The law would "irreparably harm amateur and professional sports by fostering suspicion that individual plays and final scores of games may have been influenced by factors other than honest athletic competition," the leagues said.
Last month, Judge Michael Shipp denied an effort by New Jersey to have the case thrown out, ruling that the leagues had standing to sue.
On Tuesday, the judge granted the government's request to intervene in the case, and said it could participate in oral arguments slated for February 14 on the constitutionality of the federal sports betting regulations.
The case is NCAA et al. v. Chris Christie et al., U.S. District Court, District of New Jersey, No. 12-4947.

My scanner, though perfectly good mechanically, had been orphaned heading into Windows 7. VueScan brought it back into use, and the new version for Windows 10 carried that on. The application is excellent.
Alex Robson
Hamilton, Ontario, Canada
VueScan is compatible with the PIE PowerSlide 5000 on Windows x86, Windows x64, Windows RT, Windows 10 ARM, Mac OS X and Linux.
This scanner has an infrared lamp for scanning film. VueScan's 'Filter | Infrared clean' option can be used to remove dust spots from film scans. This is similar to (and we think better than) the ICE and FARE algorithms.
It scans with both visible light and infrared light in a single pass.
Infrared cleaning works well with all types of color negative and color slide film, including Kodachrome. However, silver-based black/white film doesn't work with infrared cleaning because the silver particles look the same in visible light and infrared light.
Use the 'Scanner | Calibrate' command to set the current slide to be frame number 1.
If you're using Windows and you've installed a PIE driver, VueScan's built-in drivers won't conflict with this. If you haven't installed a Windows driver for this scanner, VueScan will automatically install a driver.
You can use this scanner on Mac OS X and Linux without installing any other software.

Freemasons believe in an ethical approach to life. Our values are based on respect, friendship, integrity and charity.
Members are urged to regard the interests of the family as paramount. However, Freemasonry also teaches and practises concern for people, care for the less fortunate and help for those in need.
So what is Freemasonry?
Freemasonry is one of the oldest social and charitable organisations in the world. Its roots lie in the traditions of the medieval stonemasons who built our cathedrals and castles.
The United Grand Lodge of England (UGLE) is the governing body for Freemasonry in England, Wales, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man and many countries around the world. It is headquartered in Freemasons' Hall, London. Freemasonry is one of the largest charitable givers in the country, contributing over £48,000,000 in 2018 and over 5,000,000 hours of volunteer work to deserving causes in 2018 alone.
Freemasonry provides a unique environment for people from all backgrounds to learn skills, make lasting friendships, achieve their potential and above all, have fun.
The Province of West Lancashire has around 8,000 members and its lodges serve an area from Liverpool across to Manchester in the south to Barrow in Furness in the north.
Its members come from all walks of life and enjoy the company of like-minded individuals who share those same values based on our four guiding principles: integrity, friendship, respect and charity.
Freemasons practise concern for people, care for the less fortunate, and help for those in need, and its members enjoy their Freemasonry to the full.
Members play an active role in our communities and all the money we donate comes from our own efforts, and those of our family and friends who support us in our social activities.

Faculty work ranges from realism to abstraction, from conceptual to environmental. Graduate students are encouraged to develop their own creative and expressive directions through work with the faculty, individual studio projects, gallery exhibitions, interaction with the professional art community in the San Francisco Bay Area, and the investigation of current issues and concepts as presented in the graduate seminars.
General studio/classroom space is available for painting and drawing and there are well-equipped support facilities such as wood and metal shops. Graduate printmakers have the use of four large studio/classrooms, as well as the intaglio and lithography press prep rooms. A papermaking lab is also available. Three intaglio presses and four lithography presses allow the printer to work in monoprint or in editions, on stones or aluminum plates. The screen printing studio has a large vacuum-exposure table for exposing plates and stencils. The photo darkroom, with graphic arts camera and enlargers, allows printmakers access to a variety of photo-printmaking processes for all printmaking media.

A Loss, A Deadline and a Statue
It was inevitable.
The White Sox mastery over the "other" Sox (seven wins in a row) was bound to end some time. And it certainly did last night as the streak ended with a thud–a 10-2 battering at the hands of Boston.
With Edwin Jackson gone, Phil Humber is being counted on more than ever with the rotation going from six to five. For the first four innings he appeared to be up to the challenge, but he didn't survive the fifth as a result of giving up a four-spot before being pulled from the game.
Jon Lester being on the mound didn't help the South Siders' cause. Our offense is problematic enough with facing the tough lefty, who gave up only two solo homers (Paul Konerko and Gordon Beckham), a total of four hits and struck out eight in eight innings of work.
The game was probably decided anyway, but Boston scored a run in the eighth and five in the ninth off of Brian Bruney, a rare meltdown by a bullpen that has been close to perfect. The good news is that Will Ohman, Jason Frasor, making his Sox debut, and Matt Thornton had effective outings out of the pen.
With the Yankees coming in for four starting tomorrow night, a series win today would be nice to see as we need to keep pace with the Tigers. Detroit remains three games ahead of us and a game and a half in front of the Indians. Both rivals have improved their pitching staffs as the trade deadline approaches. The Tigers acquired starter Doug Fister and reliever David Pauley from Seattle and the Tribe nabbed Ubaldo Jimenez from the Rockies.
Sox Notes of Note: Kenny Williams indicated yesterday that the Jackson/Frasor deal very likely will be it as far as the Sox are concerned with the deadline this afternoon…The greatest hitter in the history of the franchise, Frank Thomas will be honored today with the unveiling of the newest outfield statue.
