"Kiba's Long Day" (犬塚キバのなが~い一日, Inuzuka Kiba no Naga~i Ichinichi) is episode 184 of the original Naruto anime.
Naruto is assigned to watch Akamaru, Kiba Inuzuka's nin-dog, who has recently been acting strangely after being infected by a special bacteria during a mission. This is confirmed when Akamaru begins to violently attack Konoha's inhabitants, and the Anbu take him into custody, being prepared to have Akamaru euthanized if they are unable to cure him. However, this is too much for Kiba, and he rescues Akamaru, attempting to cure him on his own. Naruto pursues Kiba, who refuses to believe that Naruto is attempting to help him. Finally, Kiba's sister arrives, and with Naruto, attempts to restrain a now giant-sized and hostile Akamaru to administer a potential cure developed by Konoha's medical team. However, the cure only has a 50% chance of working. Kiba succeeds in the task, but is nearly killed in the process. It is later revealed that Akamaru tried his hardest to miss Kiba's vital points, something that Kiba thanks Akamaru for.
- The episode is also known as the Akamaru Monitoring Mission.

Nike Flyknit Puzzle Box by Ryan Gander
On interesting presskit/packaging/art pieces that just came through - here's the Nike Flyknit Puzzle Box by Ryan Gander in collaboration with The THING Quarterly! This is something little kid me would have totally geeked out about: wooden puzzles + puzzle boxes + the fibonacci sequence (1, 1, 2, 3, 5,…)? I loved (and still love!) all of those things. Mix in geometric patterns as inspired by the Nike Flyknit -even better! A mix of walnut, cherry, elm, and birch wood show the "mathematically precise, non-geometric marquetry." There are only 144 of these boxes in existence - and they chose an edition of 144 "based on the Fibonacci Sequence, representing the first perfect square," that occurs in the sequence. I love the concept - though to be completely honest, i wish it was harder and the puzzle/sequence reference had a bit more depth! That being said, it's a truly unique shoebox surrounded by lovely packaging and holding black and white flyknits I'm adoring the design of. It's a fun way of getting people to think about the patterns that exist everywhere! Check out the details on the next page!

Spa Valley Railway » Volunteering » Volunteer vacancies
There's always a need for more staff in all departments on the Railway, so whatever your interest, drop us a line at email@example.com we will find a role that suits you!
Specifically we're currently looking for:
Catering and Dining Train Staff
Catering is an important part of any railway, especially on our 'Dining in the Weald' trains. These trains are the main source of income for the Spa Valley Railway, without them we would struggle to survive and we urgently need more volunteers to keep them running. Thursday and Sunday lunch times, Saturday evenings and a variety of afternoons throughout the year see our popular and sell out dining services operating and we need you to be part of it. Whether it is handing out fish & chips, taking drinks to the table or simply washing up these tasks are absolutely critical to Dining in the wealds continued success.
During 2017 these trains contributed £55,000 to the Wealden Railway Company which owns and operates the Spa Valley Railway, a not for profit organisation run entirely by volunteers for the benefit of the public. This money enables us to continue devopling the railway for future generations to enjoy so please do get involved, we really are in need of volunteers! Please email email@example.com for futher information and help the Spa Valley to continue steaming into the future.
There are other opportunities in our catering/dining world to work in the static buffet car "Emily" at Tunbridge Wells West. This serves tea, coffee, soft drinks and sandwiches, as well as sausage rolls and pasties. There are also opportunities to work on the award winning bar car "Kate" which travels on the train, serving similar items to Emily, but in addition has a licence to serve alcohol. For something a bit different there is a trolley service which is served from the waiting room at Eridge station. Take away hot and cold drinks plus sandwiches and other snacks. Full training will be given and you get to enjoy the sights and sounds of Steam and Heritage Diesel trains when working on our railway!
The Railway finances its development solely through fare revenue and charitable donations. We're a non profit-making organisation, and all income is re-invested to make the Railway better for our visitors. We've a number of expensive infrastrucutre projects in the pipeline which can only be financed through additional support, and as such we need someone with the drive and contacts to help deliver this.
As restorers and renovators of ancient and obsolete trains, there's always work for someone who can weld! Much of our stock is metal-panelled, and after half a century's exposure to the elements, quite a lot needs replacing to ensure another fifty years of use. We have a couple of welders on our team, but we could certainly manage some more!
Station Staff/Station Masters
We are completely reliant on volunteers to run our stations, in particular Tunbridge Wells West. This is our main terminus and where the majority of our passengers start and finish their journeys on our railway, we need ticket office staff who can man this vital aspect of our operation with the opportunity to develop into a Station Master if you wish.
There's not many people out there who can say they're in charge of a station located in the grand Victorian Engine Shed of Tunbridge Wells West!
Train Crew, Engine Cleaners, Engineering & Maintenance
As we run more trains, so it follows that we need more crews to operate them. There's a choice of either on-train (Guard/Travelling Ticket Inspector) or locomotive departments.
In either case, you should try to commit to at least two days a month, in order that your training can be structured appropriately (there's a lot lo learn, and a lot of responsibilty). A high standard of personal presentation and a genuine desire to give a great experience for our visitors are essential.
Currently in the Operations Department there are vacancies for Engine Cleaners, this is the grade you begin in before progression to Fireman and then Driver. Our standard shifts are 12 hours however it is all very enjoyable. As soon as you get onto the Operations Department Roster you are rostered turns on the Footplate so you begin you training straight away! Progression is quite quick especially if you can put the hours in!
Alternatively how about joining us in our original LBSCR Engine Shed where we are working away to restore some of our Steam Locomotives, Diesel Locomotives and Carriages. It is jolly good fun and you'll go home filthy but almost certainly be hurrying back for more!

In a perfect world, the two types of builders would get along fine as they basically do the same thing . Unfortunately in a lot of cases there seems to be a bit of a disconnect between the 'Artisans' and the full-timers . The artisan builders tend to look down on the full-timers who do not have the time to create the award-winning show stopping bling-mobiles . Even if the career guys did make the time to build a masterpiece , they would no doubt take a significant pay cut as there is little likelyhood that a customer would pay the equivalent of a living wage for the frame . There are exceptions but they are rare-there exists a handful of builders who have frames that command many times the price of an average welded custom frame. These few guys are kind of like pied pipers to the newest wave of neo-builders on the scene.
The world of custom bikes is being shaped in a large way by the few builders that can command the kind of price that makes building a labor-intensive masterpiece profitable and therefore a sustainable enterprise. As a result of the influence of these exceptional few, there have sprung up a number of things that didn't exist when I started building. The most notable thing is NAHMBS. Now there are many similar shows , mostly smaller and more regional vying for builders and custom bike fans all over the country. The other new item is the supplier who designs ornate lugs and has them manufactured in Taiwan for the new builders who want to build in a more traditional style.
So, with all these new fancy lugs and eager builders and custom bike shows , there is quite literally a glut of really remarkable bicycle art out there. Who is going to go see these bikes at the show and fill their flickr pages with photos of these beautiful efforts ? Everybody. Conversely , who is going to buy up all of these magnificent and painstakingly crafted creations ? -Nobody, at least if they weren't pre-sold before the show. The amount of folks willing to shell out the big bucks to pay a living wage to these new artisans is almost non existant. The folks who are waiting to find these bikes at drastically reduced prices on craigslist are out there , quite willing to buy your magnum opus for about ten cents on the dollar.
Am I attacking the artisan approach to frame building ? No, I am simply pointing out that it is not self-sustaining. I liken the new breed of builders to the artisans who created works of art for royalty and the church. They were slaves.............are the new wave of builders indentured servants ? Maybe not, but they are likely to sacrifice themselves in the pursuit of trying to get noticed at one or more of the many shows -either that or they'll have to have a lot of monetary support from a spouse , trust fund or family-the support that should really come from the folks that ogle the works of art they produce. Yes, I'll say it......in order for the artisan part of our craft to survive the public must actually pay for the work. From what I saw at the last bike show I attended this is not the case-I saw the same bikes on display as last year , in other words the builder didn't sell his or her entry and cannot afford to build a new one for the next show.
The upshot of all this can be summed up with a few recent happenings: The lug supplier who thought that this would be the time to provide great stuff for the artisan builder is selling his busuiness. Since the customers are not supporting the builders, the supplier has few people to sell to. The next unfortunate developement is that several talented builders have decided to quit and it is likely that more are to follow. While this is happening , more and more shows are cropping up to showcase this seemingly doomed craft. At one point or another this whole thing will implode unless there are actual customers to support it. I for one wish to survive and I can only do that by building what is ordered, not build what people want to photograph and award trophies to. I'm almost wondering if going to these shows is such a financial burden on new builders that it is contributing to their demise rather than giving them a viable place to sell their goods.
I really wish I had some answers, some way to make it all o.k. and that the art portion of frame building could flourish . Time and the public will decide if the new ambition displayed by the latest wave of artisan builders will be rewarded with viability or go the way of everything else unsustainable.

The trip was supposed to start on April 15 …
But, Iceland has said that we must wait!
The cloud of ash that has paralyzed all flights in northern Europe has stopped our departure until further notice.
To make the most out of our wait, we managed to receive 28 balls donated in a weekend with friends!
The birthday party of our friend Javi at the Ibiza Paintball was an exceptional solidarity demonstration for Footballsmiles!
Thank you everybody!
For those who are not on Ibiza or do not speak Spanish, this is the article that appeared in the Diario de Ibiza on Thursday 15 April:
Goals and smiles shared in Africa
Two Ibiza locals intend to convey the joy of soccer to children in Kenya, Mozambique and Ethiopia giving them balls through the NGO that they have created in Sant Joan.
FootBallSmiles's story begins 20 years ago in a bar in Sant Joan, where Jordi Tirurit and Melchior Arnold, then aged 18, met with their friends to watch the 1990 World Cup games together. They were impressed by the performance of Cameroon: "They had a very good World Cup, had a player who was already 45 years old and we loved the look of the stands at their games, could see even tribal sorcerers among the public", they remember now. At that time, the gang promised that when the World Cup were held in Africa they would go to experience it live. Two decades later, Jordi and Melchior are proud to fulfill that pact.
The passion for football they share in common stems from early childhood. Laughingly they define themselves as "retired players." The two were part of different teams on the island (Portmany and Ibiza) and have also worked training the kids in Sant Joan voluntarily. Travel is another "vice" in common. They have visited Cambodia, Bolivia and India as volunteers. They say they do not like being mere tourists, but to integrate with the local people, eat what they eat and sleep where they sleep. "Jordi always gets to play wherever there is a ball and a child," said Melchior, who has been a reporter in different countries and has had the opportunity to travel as a player.
They are determined to reach South Africa for the gala opening of the soccer event and want to make it traveling in their own way, for that they have charted a route that will begin this week in Ethiopia and that will take them to Cape Town where they hope to reach by the 15 of June. Thinking of making this journey by bus, using the same means as the inhabitants of the countries they traverse, and that in most cases have not classified for the World Cup. Melchior and Jordi want to 'share the joy of football' with the children of those countries and to do so will visit three orphanages in each of the countries covered (Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, Malawi, Mozambique and South Africa). At each site will donate 10 regulation balls, they plan to buy the balls in these countries to save transport costs and promote local businesses.
Their adventure can be followed daily on http://www.footballsmiles.com. So what would be an adventure of two childhood friends, has ended by becoming a charity project 'with its own life and grows on its own. " To do FootBallSmiles they have created an NGO, based in Sant Joan de Labritja. The first gift they have received to bring smiles to children in Africa has been the City of Sant Joan, which has donated 50 balls for the expedition. But in addition to various businesses and clubs on the island have offered to assist in the initiative. The Penya Independent, for example, is giving away sports equipment for kids. Jordi and Melchior have calculated that every ball can cost around 10 euros and have opened an account at Sa Nostra where those who wish can make a donation to buy a ball.
And here is a link in Spanish that explains why we are giving away balls: Magazine Digital
Greetings and smiles!

The Celtics are playing the Toronto Raptors in consecutive games this week and will do the same with the Chicago Bulls after that. It marks the first time since 1978 the Celtics have faced two teams in consecutive back-to-back situations.
BOSTON – Playing the same team in consecutive games is a rare happening during the six-month NBA season.
Even rarer is playing two sets of consecutive games, which is something the Celtics are currently going through.
After losing to the Raptors on Wednesday night at the TD Garden, the Celts meet Toronto again tonight at the Air Canada Centre (7:05; TV: Comcast SportsNet; radio: WBZ-FM/98.5).
The Celtics follow that by hosting the Chicago Bulls on Sunday night, then traveling to the Windy City for a rematch on Monday night.
The last time the Celtics played back-to-back games against two opponents in succession was 1978 when they went against the New Orleans Jazz (March 1-3) and the New York Knicks (March 4-5), splitting both series.
The Celtics have had only one other back-to-back scenario this season, going 1-1 against the Milwaukee Bucks.
For a team headed to the playoffs, facing an opponent in consecutive games is good practice for what awaits in the postseason.
The Celtics (23-48), however, are not going to be playing once the regular season is complete.
"Hopefully,'' said coach Brad Stevens this week, "we're to the point sooner rather than later that we're playing a lot of them that really matter.''
For now, the Celtics get to see plenty of the Raptors in a three-night span and then a lot of the Bulls on consecutive nights.
"You kind of take it like it's a playoff game,'' said Rajon Rondo, who will sit out Monday's game in Chicago. "You play the team once and obviously there isn't much to be changed in a couple of days.''
Said Stevens: "I think it will be a good thing for our team to have to play a team, learn through film and through walk-through, and go back and play against them again. They are two very good teams playing at a very good level.''
The Raptors and Bulls are 40-31, trailing the Indiana Pacers and Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference. Toronto, closing in on its first playoff berth since 2008, is trying to hold off the Brooklyn Nets in the Atlantic Division.
The Celtics, meanwhile, are playing out the string with 11 games to go, seven of them against possible playoff teams.
Facing the Raptors in back-to-back games and then the Bulls in the same situation will give them a taste of what the playoffs are like.
"Definitely, because every game is an adjustment in the playoffs,'' said Jared Sullinger. "We know we've got to make adjustments when we play a team back-to-back.
"One thing that I like is the scouting report doesn't change, so you don't have to think about another team. Win or lose, we don't have to think about the next team we play. We just know that we play Toronto.''
Around the rim: With a 15-22 record at the Garden, the Celtics will finish below .500 at home for the first time since 2006-07 and only the 13th time in franchise history. … Rookie Kelly Olynyk is bidding to become the first Celtics rookie since Paul Pierce to have at least 500 points, 300 rebounds and 100 assists. He currently has 450, 295 and 90. … Stevens has used 20 starting lineups this season. The combination of Jeff Green, Brandon Bass, Sullinger, Avery Bradley and Jordan Crawford had 21 games together, going 9-12.

When quizzed over what was to be Liverpool main aim for the new season, captain Steven Gerrard gave an unequivocal response.
"Getting in the Champions League will be the main aim," he said. "I think it is for all the clubs in the Premier League."
There's no doubt this weekend's Carling Cup final against Cardiff City presents a different aim altogether; ending the Reds' six-year trophy drought, a distraction to what in Gerrard's words is the season's main priority.
With 13 games left, achieving their No.1 aim is within reach, as just four points separate them from currently fourth-placed Arsenal.
Furthermore, if there was any positives to come out of Luis Suarez's eight-match ban, it was that after helping Uruguay win the Copa America in the summer, and being a near ever-present at the start of the season, the break gave the 25-year-old the opportunity to recharge his batteries.
However, Liverpool fans looking for further encouraging signs that their challenge for the top four is on track might be disappointed. After the goings on of the last 12 months, Liverpool should be running away with the fourth Champions League spot, rather than staring down the barrel of a late season slug.
The struggles of both Arsenal and Chelsea, the Merseysiders main rivals for the fourth spot, says as much about the trials at Anfield, rather that those in London.
The blind faith shown by Arsene Wenger leaves Arsenal with a side who much is expected, but little is produced, while Andre Villas-Boas has failed to inspire a Chelsea squad whose deficiency in quality becomes more evident as the season progresses. Newcastle United are something of an anomaly in the top seven, but will be expected to finish off the pace in the top four race.
Given the problems of their two main rivals, Liverpool's own struggles are alarming still, and having spent over £100 million during the past 12 months it's difficult to find a reason for them not finishing in the Champions League places.
The Premier League has often worked to prove that even substantial spending can't solely turn a club's fortunes around. After finishing 10 points behind fourth placed Arsenal last season, that gap has only been cut by six with 13 games left, not withstanding The Gunners' multiple losses during the summer transfer window. For the money spent, little progression has been made.
The limited success of those new signings has assisted Liverpool's plight. Jordan Henderson has often looked lost in midfield while Stewart Downing has yet to make a telling contribution.
Downing was billed as the missing piece of the jigsaw, and the player to finally get Andy Carroll firing following his switch from St James' Park.
For a man who bases most of his transfer market decisions around statistical analysis, it appears director of football Damien Comolli payed little attention to Downing's average of one assist every 7.6 games in the two seasons preceding his move to Liverpool. (David Silva's is already 2.7 after 52 Premier League appearances).
Ironically it's been the cut price additions that have made the greatest impression. Jose Enrique has filled a left-back position which saw eight players toil at last season, Charlie Adam has been effective from his deep lying playmaker role while Craig Bellamy has been pivotal in the club's run to the Carling Cup final.
Furthermore, the £35 million addition of Andy Carroll, made in haste during the twilight of the 2011 January transfer window, has yet to come to fruition. With the disappointing results that have followed the substantial investment, Kenny Dalglish and Comolli's business in the transfer window must be called into question.
Granted, the signing of Suarez was made with Dalglish in the hotseat, but in truth evidence of Liverpool's interest in the former Ajax player came before the appointment of the Scot. He can't therefore claim to have had great influence in recruiting the controversial forward.
Should the failings in the transfer market be followed by a inability to qualify for the Champions League, while Dalglish's shortcomings will be scrutinised, it's the decision to sack Roy Hodgson in January 2011 that should also come under the microscope.
Unlike Dalglish, Hodgson wasn't handed over £100m in the transfer market to help improve the club's fortunes; instead being forced to work under the restrictions of the club's crippling £350 million debt.
Unable to act in the summer until he offloaded players, he lost Javier Mascherano to Barcelona, with Raul Meireles the most notable addition.
Upon John Henry's takeover, Hodgson revealed he was in dire need of investment come the next window after inheriting an unbalanced squad from Rafa Benitez. Despite wins over Chelsea and Aston Villa, he was relinquished of his position in early January, and provided no time to make use of the funds Dalglish was to fritter away in the coming months.
Given the opportunity to invest heavily with Liverpool, his track record which has seen him flourish with limited resources at smaller clubs, suggests he'd have been shrewder than his predecessor Dalglish, who previously took Blackburn Rovers to the title with a helping hand from Jack Walker's bank balance.
After sacking Hodgson just six months into their reign, Liverpool owners may have a difficult decision to make this summer, if after seeing £100 million spent, the club still fail to reach the Champions League.
If we agree that the appointment of Dalglish was to appease supporters, then if last season's sixth place finish isn't improved upon then how can the sacking of Hodgson, a manager experienced in getting the best out of his players and one that was given little time to do it, be justified?
Henry said after joining the club he would be willing to listen to fans' concerns for the future. After the reign of George Gillett and Tom Hicks, perhaps they were guilty of making a call to get the fans back onside.
"Liverpool fans felt as though we were different, we don't do things like that, we stick together and we stick with the club," said three-time European Cup winner Phil Thompson, following Hodgson's sacking.
"Now the fans had even started taking the mickey out of their own manager, chanting 'You're getting sacked in the morning.' That is incredible."
If Dalglish fails, who gets the blame? Someone should have told Liverpool's supporters to be careful what they wish for.

|Does Prayer Change Things? Media

Why Had God Agreed to Such a Thing?
On page 18, Dr. Sproul discussed the situation that we read about in the book of Job with three questions beginning with "why". I hope I never forget the answers. I have custody of a 15-year old grandson and I live with my 91-year old mom who has early altzheimers. You caused me to be able to see the courtroom of heaven and a much larger reality and my purpose: thanksgiving, praise, forgiveness, repentance, prayer to the one God, Creator of everything.

"Four hundred years of Freethought—from 1492 to 1892—present the most alluring and brilliant pages of human history. Only those who stand at the end of these crowded centuries can realize the advancing greatness of humanity...Through darkness and struggle; through bloody war; through torture and terror; through superstition, ignorance, and tyranny, Freethought has steadily pushed onward, with true Promethean fire, with the torch of reason, with undaunted face, with unreceding step, until now it leads the world with victorious colors."
This is the introductory passage from an 874-page book called 400 Years of Freethought, published in 1894 by the Truth Seeker Company. Its author, Samuel P. Putnam, was a former Congregationalist minister who had drifted through Unitarianism to full-on Freethought. The book tells the stories of over 140 freethinkers, and their contributions to western culture during these four centuries. It's filled with valuable information—but right now it's the book itself that fascinates me.
In 1894, an author like Putnam could claim that rational, empirical, scientific advances (many of them made by freethinkers) had lifted the western world out of the dark ages and into modernity. And people, even if they didn't completely agree on the role of freethinkers, could pretty much agree with Putnam's general premise. A hundred nineteen years later, that's no longer the case.
So this is my question: What happened between 1894 and 2013 that gave religion (or religious historians) the upper hand, and how did the events of that century stick to freethinkers and undermine the basic idea that reason leads to progress?
Views: 173
This is just an offhand guess by someone who isn't even that much of a historian, but my take is that religion reacted to what had been done to it - being written OUT of government. It was in fits and starts, certainly, and has become more consistent and pernicious as religion has more forcefully attempted to work its way into government.
It's first real putsch (that I know of) was during the Civil War, when the move was on to put "in god we trust" on the coinage of the Union. Certainly there was a christian influence associated with the efforts to pass the Volstead Act and Prohibition, and it was the Knights of Columbus who insisted that the Pledge of Allegiance include the words, "under god," to distinguish the righteous Americans from the godless communists during the Cold War.
But the most obvious efforts have been since the election of Ronald Reagan and the emergence of the Christian Coalition, the transparent attempts by the Meese Commission to censor and prohibit pornography, and the undisguised efforts of the likes of Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, John Hagee, Donald Wildmon, and too many others to list to put a christian stamp on what should be a secular government. Do I really need to mention Dubya's "Faith-Based Initiatives" or "Pulpit Freedom Sunday?" These efforts have had varying degrees of success.
The sad fact is that, if this country was truly dedicated to the secular principles upon which it was founded, they should have had NONE.
Thanks, Loren. I think you're right. I wonder if it would be helpful, to really trace the Civil War currency thing. Lincoln famously observed in his 2nd inaugural address, that both North and South believed they had god on their side. Salmon Chase (I haven't done the research to back this up yet, so it's just a gut feeling) was a madman. Ironically, his push to get god onto a national currency coincides with his push to GET a national currency and put state banks out of business -- this is a story that has yet to be told. Maybe it will make the conservatives' heads spin a little, to see the connection between "In God We Trust" and the national banking/national currency acts. The old-fashioned conservatives, I mean, who are distrustful of centralized power.
History is the interplay between more variables than just reason and science. There are also matters of the heart, and the rise and fall of different groups/civilisations. If you want lasting progress you need (a) reason and science, (b) caring hearts and (c) group fitness.
Currently Western civilisation is going the way of the Roman Empire: into oblivion, to be replaced by the Chinese - hungry for power. So if you want lasting progress you must also tends to hearts, and group fitness, not just reason and science.
I don't know why you think religion is gaining the "upper hand". Islam is reasserting itself in the Middle East now that colonial powers and Ataturks have gone (and moronic Obama aids the Muslim Brotherhood), but Islam is a backwards religion and I'd be surprised if it can co-exist with technological progress for long. The future belongs to the Chinese (on current trends), and they are atheists, but I wouldn't bet on them having caring hearts for folks like us.
Oh hang on, Islam is rising in Europe, thanks to demented immigration policies. That's down to group fitness i.e. Westerners who are so ideologically demented that they think they can import anyone into their country and not be radically transformed by it. It's civilisational suicide.

Rocker's stock in trade has been the American roots music rockabilly pretty much since the day he first picked up that upright as a teenager on Long Island, NY. He hooked up with local musicians Brian Setzer and Jimmy McDonnell and, collectively inspired by the primal genius of Carl Perkins, Muddy Waters and other legends whose country music and rhythmic blues simmered in the cauldron of fledgling rock and roll, they formed a roots-rock band of their own. Jimmy McDonnell went on to become Slim Jim Phantom and the band became The Stray Cats.
Lee Rocker and his best friends (courtesy of www.leerocker.com)
The Cats' cathartic mix of roots-rock music and punk-rock energy was like nothing else in the rock and popular music scenes of 1980, and their American album debut, Built for Speed, held the #2 position on the Billboard album chart for 26 weeks and was kept from the top spot only by Michael Jackson's ubiquitous Thriller.
Lee Rocker and his bass never really left the road, even after those Cats had scattered. In between performing with such roots-rock legends-turned-friends as Carl Perkins, Dave Edmunds, even legendary Elvis' guitarist Scotty Moore, he performed and recorded as a front man for groups of his own, consistently true to his musical rootsthe roots-rock music of rockabilly.
Does he sometimes hear that his music simply copies styles from a bygone erathat rockabilly is an anachronism (jazz musicians who play swing can hear the same question.)? "My whole take with everything I do is, I don't try to recreate anything, he suggests. "I think it's just a pointless thing, to do that. To me, it's more about putting your own stamp on it and doing things your own way, and not trying to createthis probably applies to jazz as wellmusic as a museum piece. 'Okay, this is how they did this then, I'm doing this song...' Well, hell, then, that's a good reason not to do it that way!
This past January, Rocker released his debut recording for the venerated Chicago blues label Alligator Records. Racin' the Devil captures the energy of his current working band with drummer Jimmy Sage and guitarists Buzz Campbell and Brophy Dale. "I like to do something different on each album I do, he says of this project, which took more than a year to complete, "and this is by far the most diverse CD I've ever done.
On Racin', Rocker explores the entire breadth of rockabilly, from "The River Runs, steeped in sweet country music as pure and potent as a jug o' backwoods moonshine, to "Rockin' Harder, into which guitarists Buzz and Brophy drop Chuck Berry buzz saw riffs classic and hot, to the swing instrumental "Swing This that ends the set.
It's also full of songs from a life long-lived on the road, most notably "Rambling and the travelogue "Texarkana to Panama City ( "Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee/ These are places that you really just got to be/ Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi/ From Texarkana to Panama City... ).
In addition, Rocker and crew roughhouse the Stray Cats' mega-hit "Rock this Town and "Running From the Hounds from the Phantom, Rocker and Slick album Rocker cut with Cats drummer Slim Jim Phantom and David Bowie lead guitarist Earl Slick. Updating "Town's lyric to "I put a quarter into that can/ But all they played was techno, man provides a mischievous twinkle. Perkins, highly regarded among rockabilly's founders, is feted with a boot-stompin' twin-guitar rave up of his relatively obscure tune, "Say When.
"This is the best record I've ever made, Rocker says. "I worked harder on this record than any other I have done. I took my time with it and squeezed and twisted all I could out of the band and myself. After squeezing and twisting, Rocker spoke with AAJ in the following interview.
AAJ: When one thinks of rockabilly, the name that most immediately comes to mind is Carl Perkins, and the sound that comes to mind is full of guitar twang. But what about musicians other than guitar players? Who were some of the great rockabilly bass players, for example, or piano players, that inspired you?
LR: I don't think there's been anyone else that I know in rockabilly who was an upright bassist that fronted a band. I would say the closest in my mind, someone who I really idolize and is a hero of mine, was Willie Dixon. A blues artist, of course, and a songwriter and singer and record producer and upright bassist. He was a cat who besides doing his own stuff and all the Chess stuff, played with Chuck Berry and kind of walked the line between a lot of different forms of American music.
AAJ: How about your favorite pianist?
LR: Johnnie Johnson.

SOMERVILLE — Since the chocolate maker's founding, workers at Taza Chocolate have hand-wrapped the stone-ground chocolate bars the eight-year-old company makes, folding pink foil and labels around each 3-ounce bar at the rate of about one per minute.
Over the next few days, however, that task will be taken over by a cream-colored machine that will package the chocolate bars at a rate of nearly one per second, helping to alleviate a growing backlog of orders and freeing employees to make more chocolate.
Taza's new equipment is a rumbling symbol of the success of the Somerville company, which has grown from two guys selling chocolate bars from the back of their bicycles to a 60-employee manufacturing operation, producing nearly 300,000 pounds of chocolate a year. Taza sells to grocers around the country and the world, as well as beer brewers, ice cream makers, tea blenders, and restaurants. (The company automated the wrapping of its signature Mexican-style spiced chocolate discs about 18 months ago. )
Taza's is a story familiar to Massachusetts, where manufacturers have succeeded by producing distinctive, high-quality products that can be sold at premium prices to offset high labor, energy, and business costs. Taza, using hand-carved millstones, makes chocolates from cacao beans grown organically in Bolivia and the Dominican Republic. A 3-ounce bar generally goes for $6.50; a 1.55-ounce Hershey bar sells for about $1 at most grocery stores.
"Chocolate making itself is really capital intensive and difficult to do," said Taza cofounder Alex Whitmore. "When you take the kind of care and sourcing in the ingredients that a premium chocolate company does, you have to charge for that. It's not easy to do."
Taza is largely the brainchild of Whitmore, who was inspired by a desire to start his own business and an anthropology degree from Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, N.Y., that taught him about chocolate's origins among the Olmec, Maya, and Aztec peoples of Mexico and Central America.
His first idea was to open a chocolate lounge called Melt that would sell Mexican-style drinking chocolate and other products. But with the counsel of his then-girlfriend and now wife, Taza cofounder Kathleen Fulton, Whitmore realized a chocolate factory might be a better fit.
A trip to Oaxaca, in southern Mexico, cemented the plan. There, Whitmore immersed himself in finding stone-ground Mexican chocolate, a lightly-sweetened and spiced cacao bean paste that is formed into disks and used to make chocolate drinks.
Mexican chocolate is gritty, rather than smooth like its super-refined European-style counterpart, and often spiced with other flavors, such as cinnamon. Whitmore figured others might be just as intrigued by the texture and taste as he was.
He returned to Oaxaca to study with molineros, or millers, who taught him the craft of chocolate making, including how to carve blank stone wheels to grind chocolate from cacao beans. Whitmore still carves Taza's millstones, using a chisel and hand-held grinder to etch each one.
"I definitely had to make a lot of bad chocolate before I could make high-quality chocolate," Whitmore recalled during a tour of Taza's factory and retail store on Windsor Street in Somerville.
The nearly 17,000-square-foot plant is 10 times the space Taza started with, back when Whitmore rented the coffee roasting machine at the JP Licks ice cream parlor on Centre Street in Jamaica Plain to roast cacao beans. Whitmore would take the roasted cacao back to Somerville in Fulton's car, then spend hours using a contraption he rigged from a blow dryer to separate chocolate bits from their papery shells.
Friends and relatives were often drafted — bribed with food and beer — to help wrap chocolates in labels designed by Fulton. Whitmore and another Taza cofounder, Larry Slotnik, would then peddle the chocolate from the backs of their bicycles.
Today, Taza purchases fermented cacao beans directly from organic farming cooperatives in the Dominican Republic and Bolivia, paying a minimum of $500 per metric ton over the daily market price to ensure quality. Top executives visit each cacao cooperative once a year to meet with farmers, check on working conditions, and verify that growing practices meet organic and ethical standards.
Taza's commitment to paying fair prices to farmers and ensuring that beans are grown organically, using environmentally sustainable methods, helped it land its biggest customer, Whole Foods Market Inc., the Austin, Texas, grocery chain that built its following with high-quality, sustainably raised, organic products. Whole Foods stores began carrying Taza products in 2007.
"They are huge advocates for how they source and then how they sell their products," said Eliza Brown, Whole Foods' executive coordinator of purchasing. "It's not just about pushing boxes and boxes, and pallets and pallets of chocolate."
Taza's sales are growing 30 to 35 percent a year, Whitmore estimated. But as the company expands, it faces the challenge confronted by many makers of niche products, said Glenn Kelley, an adjunct marketing professor at Babson College in Wellesley: how to increase sales without compromising products or principles.
"You want to see how big you can get before you get bad," Kelley said. "How do you maintain this quality product and grow it?"
That issue is very much on the minds of Whitmore and his partners. Growing at a pace that maintains quality has always been at the center of the business plan, he said. For example, when Taza introduced a chocolate blended with coconut in January, it sold out almost immediately. But the company didn't increase production because it couldn't find a supplier that could provide bigger quantities of coconut that met Taza's standards.
"We're not going to go out and get a million in financing from a venture capital firm and inject it," said Whitmore. "We don't want to do that."
In addition to selling chocolates to Whole Foods, Taza sells roasted cacao beans to Peak Organic Brewing Co. of Portland, Maine, which uses them to make its oak-aged mocha stout, and leftover shells from cacao beans to Mem Tea Imports in Watertown, which uses them in four tea blends.
At the Financial District restaurant Trade, pastry chef Sarah Cravedi uses Taza's chocolates to lend a rich flavor to her baked chocolate pudding dessert, a chocolate budino. As with many chefs, she is very aware of where ingredients come from and how they are produced.
"I think about trying to source ingredients locally, but chocolate and coffee, those are difficult," she said. "I think [Taza] is as close as we're going to get."Erin Ailworth can be reached at email@example.com. Follow her on Twitter @ailworth.

I just printed using Reader 9.3.2 with NO problem. My OS10.6.3 (Snow Leopard) Macbook Pro 2.16gHz, Brother MFC-7340 printer.
1. Remove Reader (trash), download and reinstall. Be sure you have the right version for your Mac i.e, Intel or PowerPC.
2. Be sure you have the latest printer drivers from your printer manufacturer.
3. Repair permissions with Disk Utility or shareware Onyx.
4. Safeboot (hold shift key down while restarting).
5. Restart the normal way (without holding shift key).
These routine maintenace actions may help.

I now have AR 9.3.1 For PCand am advised no further updates available.I have tried Foxit and it worked. Removed Foxit and AR and reinstalled AR. At this time all seems OK with AR which is printing well.

I had already tried most of the recomendations. Just in case I dwonloaded the latest install for the Adobe Reader but still the same.
As I said previously there is only a problem with more recent PDF's. To be more specific I receive orders and enquiries as scans and documents converted to PDF's from some of the worlds major oil companies and it is ONLY those created within the last three weeks that have caused problems. I would like to attach one but I am not allowed.
My problem has been fixed by installing Foxit but now I have the problem that I cannot uninstall Adobe because some of the files are in use by the Windows system.
I hate Windows 7

Thank you so much to those of you who suggested downloading the Foxit reader. After wasting most of the day uninstalling, reinstalling, fixing this that and the other thing and not being able to print after upgrading to AR 9.3, in 10 minutes Foxit was installed and printed like a charm.
I was trying to print a form from the IRS website. I had done this many times before without a problem. I knew there was nothing wrong with my printer, drivers, computer or anything else.
Thanks again.

A permanent and definite fix for this issue, we can Re-create the Acrobat preferences files and this will definately resolve this issue.
For Mac:
- Quit Acrobat.
- Drag the following files from the Users/[Username]/Library/Preferences folder to the Desktop:
- Acrobat WebCapture Cookies
- Com.adobe.Acrobat.Pro_ppc_9.0.plist or com.adobe.Acrobat.Pro_x86_9.0.plist
- Acrobat Distiller Prefs and com.adobe.distiller8.plist (If you are troubleshooting an issue with Distiller.)
- The Acrobat folder, which contains preferences for forms (MRUFormsList), collaboration (OfflineDocs), and color settings (AcrobatColor Settings.csf)
- Restart Acrobat.
For Windows:
- Quit Acrobat.
- In Windows Explorer, go to c:\Documents and Settings\ [User Name] \Application Data\Adobe\Acrobat\9.0 folder and move the Preferences folder to another location (for example, C:\Temp).
- Launch Acrobat.

While reading several kb articles, I found none of them to be helpful.
Especially this one: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/403/kb403914.html
They make things way to complicated.
In our case, we noticed that Standard 9 was saving documents so that when the print option was select the default option selected for Comments and Forms was, "Documents and Markups."
Simply changing this setting to "Documents," as with all previous version of Adobe resolved our printing printing problems.
Hope this is helpful for all of banging your head against the wall like we were.
48. Re: Document could not be printedJoe Night Apr 27, 2010 3:08 PM (in response to nullifidian)
Having tried a couple of the suggestions here (reinstalling, repairing and using foxit)
I was able to get around the problem by going to my "advanced" settings when I selected "print".
(Your printer driver may not have this option.)
Under this setting, I have the option to print as "image".
This works. Quality isn't thrilling, but in a pinch it may be adequate.
Please note that I also have to return to the print settings and turn this option off when I'm done printing. I don't want this as a default for quality reasons.
Good luck!

I had this intensely annoying issue with saving AI files as PDF's. Nothing would print from Acrobat!!! After a few hours of trying everything... I FIXED IT w/o reinstalling anything!
It seems to be a font issue. I went through and expanded every instance of every font to a vector object until it worked. I eventually narrowed my particular issue to the font 'Didot'.
THE SOLUTION (for illustrator CS4 to pdf):
Remove, rasterize or expand all instances of every different font until it works...
There may be a way of handling embedded fonts that is more elegant...
My setup:
Mac Pro 2006, OS X 10.5.8, CS4. The font Didot was stored in "Library/Fonts/Didot.dfont" - maybe it's the ".dfont" extension?
54. Re: Document could not be printedT_Ashby Aug 27, 2010 9:31 AM (in response to nullifidian)
This problem is typically caused to another piece of software being installed that has some kind of PDF functionality. Internet Explorer starts looking for DLLs that it cannot find, and generates the error. The best method for fixing this problem is to copy some of the Adobe Reader's DLLs into and Internet Explorer directory. Below is what I use in a batch file to fix the problem with Adobe Reader 9 on Windows XP:
REM HOT FIX FOR IE and adobe
copy /y "%PROGRAMFILES%\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\ACE.dll" "%PROGRAMFILES%\Internet Explorer\ACE.dll"
copy /y "%PROGRAMFILES%\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\AGM.dll" "%PROGRAMFILES%\Internet Explorer\AGM.dll"
copy /y "%PROGRAMFILES%\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\BIB.dll" "%PROGRAMFILES%\Internet Explorer\BIB.dll"
copy /y "%PROGRAMFILES%\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\BIBUTILS.dll" "%PROGRAMFILES%\Internet Explorer\BIBUTILS.dll"
copy /y "%PROGRAMFILES%\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\JP2KLIB.dll" "%PROGRAMFILES%\Internet Explorer\JP2KLIB.dll"
The above may not display correctly in the forum, so note that each line of your batch file should start with copy and end with dll".
Hope this helps you all. It took much testing to get this figured out. As I'm sure everyone has found, it is next to impossible to find the fix for this. As a side note, we have tested this same solutions with other versions of Adobe Reader and Windows, so modify the above to suit you needs.
Good luck!

My only solution appears to be "print using Apple Preview."
Great marketing, guys. Really top-notch.
Preview worked, though. It never occurred to me to use it as a PDF printer. Quality seems slightly worse, but what can you do? Slightly soft text and images are better than blank sheets of paper.

I tried all the solutions in this post and still NO JOY! What's next? When will Adobe
be coming out with Adobe reader 10.0 to finally acknowledge and fix the problem?

Hello, I ran into the same issue with a client I was helping.
Upon clicking print in Acrobat 9 pro, the print dialog goes away and I get two errors:
The Document could not be printed.
There were no pages selected to print.
no errors in console were produced.
The work arround I found was to select "advanced" in the print window and then check "Print As Image." I found as long as that box was checked the trouble document could print.
First I tried removing/reinstalling CS4, repairing premisisons, and reloading print drivers with no success. I also tried it on two seperate macs running differnet OS versions (10.5.8 and 10.6.4) as well as differend minor versions of Acrobat 9 pro (9.3.4 and 9.0.0.). The problem/solution were reproducable on both machines.
I also found that Preview.app had no probem printing any of the trouble documents.
Hope this Helps!

I cannot print ANY pdf document using Adobe Reader and I always get the two errors:
"The document could not be printed."
"There were no pages selected to print."
Preview.app prints the documents just fine.
I think it is silly, and interesting to observe that Adobe doesn't say anything about it.
59. Re: Document could not be printedR.P Singh Sep 14, 2010 10:21 PM (in response to roozbehf)
can you provide the exact steps that you are following?
60. Re: Document could not be printedR.P Singh Sep 14, 2010 10:28 PM (in response to DrPhilH)
Ok, you will never be able to print pdfs using adobe reader, because adobe reader is just to read the pdfs, you need acrobat to print the pdfs, there will b no use of waiting for reader 10 even it will also not print, you can download acrobat trial (30 days) and then try printing pdfs.
61. Re: Document could not be printedroozbehf Sep 14, 2010 11:06 PM (in response to R.P Singh)
Seriously R.P.?! Are you an Adobe rep?
Then why Adobe website says otherwise for Adobe Reader 9?
"Adobe Reader software is the global standard for electronic document sharing. It is the only PDF file viewer that can open and interact with all PDF documents. Use Adobe Reader to view, search, digitally sign, verify, print, and collaborate on Adobe PDF files."
- http://www.adobe.com/products/reader/
and why are there so many support pages on Adobe website about Problems Printing Documents from Adobe Reader?!
Why Adobe doesn't come clean and say you can't print from Reader?

Ok are you printing a microsoft document into pdf or you are taking physical printout from a printer?
63. Re: Document could not be printedroozbehf Sep 15, 2010 12:01 AM (in response to R.P Singh)
I am trying to print a PDF document on a physical printer.
As I mentioned, regardless of the PDF document I open, and printer I choose (inkjet or laserjet), it fails.
I can easily print using any other application. I can print the same PDF document using Mac OS's Preview.

Hi all
No probs at all now for some while.
66. Re: Document could not be printedDrPhilH Sep 15, 2010 3:46 AM (in response to R.P Singh)
What next? I attempted to print from Adobe Acrobat Standard edition. I tried with Foxit, PDF Complete. Again, NO JOY! I think what is going on here is that when Acrobat creates the file, it's corrupt and the reason that Adobe doesn't want to admit to the problem is it will set up a MAJOR public relations problem and confidence problem in their product. So rather than do the right thing, Adobe chooses to ignore the problem, and either fix it behind the scene and have a lot of pissed off people, or they just have no clue.
Time to step up to the plate and approach the problem head on and fix it!

You must be a troll, right?
You can't be serious.
Read this thread. People with Acrobat Reader AND people with Acrobat Professional have this problem.
People with Mac OS and Win XP and Win Vista and Win7 have this problem.
People with Acrobat 8 and Acrobat 9.
People with nose rings and people with bleached hair.
Those on OS X can print the same documents without issue from the built-in free OS X "Preview" application on the same machine that cannot print them from Adobe Acrobat Professional 9.3
So printing with an Acrobat trial version won't change that.
Adobe has a problem here. It's probably font related somehow, because printing "as an image" works, but of course that rasterizes all of the type, making it a poor solution, especially for professionals with clients that have expectations of quality work.
It's sad and embarrassing that a college kid with an old MacBook could come into my office and print a PDF with Preview I created on my brand new Mac Pro but that I cannot print using Acrobat Professional.
I did not pay over 2,000 dollars for software that can't even print it's own native file format. Well, actually, I did.
But I won't make that mistake ever again.
68. Re: Document could not be printedroozbehf Sep 15, 2010 10:09 AM (in response to Ben Frey)
On my machine, this happens even when I check the "Print as image" check box.
Here I put a summary of the problem for people who don't have the time to read all the posts.
In Summary:
On Mac OS X, having Adobe Reader 9.3, when I try to print a PDF document on a printer I get the following errors:
"The document could not be printed."
and then,
"There were no pages selected to print."
This happens,
- with ANY pdf document that I open, whether they are created with Adobe products or other applications;
- with any selection of pages (all, current page, or a range of pages);
- regardless of having the "Print as image" checkbox checked or unchecked;
- on different printers (inkjet or laserjet, Lexmark and Epson);
- on older versions of Adobe Reader 9 as well (I haven't tried it on Adobe Reader 8.x);
The same documents can be printed using the Preview application on Mac OS X.
Different people experience a subset of this problem, but the fact that I cannot print regardless of the document, the print as image option, the printer type or the page selection tells me that the problem is not related to these. This is a nasty bug and may have something to do with some Adobe settings being messed up. Since there is practically no way to completely uninstall Adobe on a Mac (Thank You Adobe for being so careless) I cannot tell whether a clean install would solve this issue. I tried removing every footprint of Adobe from my machine two times (from system files, property lists, etc) and installing the reader again, but the problem still exists.
I hope this helps. Does anyone from Adobe care about this?
69. Re: Document could not be printedMs-Hilton Sep 20, 2010 8:58 AM (in response to nullifidian)
Question to you all. Did you try registering your Adobe product?
Remember that little message that appeared after you first ran the Reader after install, telling you to Regsiter your Adobe software. Well if you kept clicking the remind me later then you will notice that some features will stop working until you register.
I was havng this same error today with Adobe Acrobat Pro, till I remember that small quirk that would occur whenever I don't register Adobe products.
70. Re: Document could not be printedDrPhilH Sep 20, 2010 9:11 AM (in response to Ms-Hilton)
Nope, make sure the product is registered didn't make a difference. Nice try by Adobe to make sure there is no bootleg users out there
71. Re: Document could not be printedGary Mea Sep 20, 2010 9:29 AM (in response to DrPhilH)
Have not registered Adobe Reader, it all works now.
72. Re: Document could not be printedroozbehf Oct 6, 2010 3:02 PM (in response to nullifidian)
I might have just found the source of the problem. Read this:
It says:
We have been running all our Macs for years with a case sensitive file system which is one of the options on the Mac OS X installer. All our applications work fine except Adobe Reader. I have asked and complained to Adobe for a year or two. Whenever we try to print it just says that "Adobe Reader cannot print this document". We would use Preview but we use forms and digital signatures that Preview can't handle. We end up having to copy all our PDF files to a Windows system to print. This is pathetic, especially from Adobe.
I have a case-sensitive file system. Can all of you who have this printing problem confirm if they have a case-sensitive file system as well?
73. Re: Document could not be printedBen Frey Oct 7, 2010 6:55 AM (in response to roozbehf)
Unfortunately, that's not going to be it for me, because I do not have "case sensitive" formatting on any of my drives.
Good thought, though.
74. Re: Document could not be printedtcfiles1 Oct 14, 2010 10:34 AM (in response to nullifidian)
Another possible Solution...Windows 7 people.
I just had this error pop-up on my PC and my IT (who is genious) was able to quickly fix error by restarting the Print Spooler. Instantanious fix.
Didn't have to download anything didn't have to restart anything (except the spooler).
I guess this is a common issue with Windows 7.
75. Re: Document could not be printedDrPhilH Oct 14, 2010 12:53 PM (in response to tcfiles1)The print spooler issue is a whole other can of worms. That was a Win7 issue in general. I figured out the fix on that myself. Nothing to do with the Adobe problem
76. Re: Document could not be printeddigamma Oct 15, 2010 1:29 AM (in response to roozbehf)
I have just hit this problem printing tickets purchased from Eurostar.
If you accept the option to print your tickets at home Eurostar deliver them as a PDF.
When I try to print them on my Mac (Snow Leopard, Acrobat Pro 9.4.0), I receive the same two error messages reported above
"The document could not be printed."
"There were no pages selected to print."
followed by
"A drawing error occured"
These tickets print fine with Preview, and I can print other PDF files with Acrobat OK.
These tickets also print fine with Acrobat Reader 9 on Windows 7.
It looks as though there is some problem with the Eurostar-generated PDFs.
Possibly an error in the generated PDF which Preview and the Windows version of Acrobat Reader tolerate, but which Acrobat Pro on the Mac can't handle.
How can I determine whether this is a bug in Acrobat Pro (Mac version) or whether the Eurostar-generated PDF is in error?
The document properties show
PDF producer: iText 2.0.7 by Iowagie.com
Application: JasperReports
Message was edited by: digamma, to correct a typo
77. Re: Document could not be printedManticoreDentist Oct 25, 2010 3:26 PM (in response to sanjaysh)
I am having the exact same issue. "Document could not be printed", then the error "There were
no pages selected to print."
I selected 9 pages to print, but none of them will print. This is from a PDF I created/exported myself from a Visio 2006 document.
Interesting... since the only reason I buy Acrobat Pro is so I can PRINT. :\
78. Re: Document could not be printedlarpeck Oct 26, 2010 10:56 AM (in response to nullifidian)
I have been reading the thread here and I have these same problems since July. We got an update to our loan origination system which included the 9.3.3 reader. Ever since that update nothing has been right. I have deleted and reinstalled everything from 8.2 to 9.4. We have installed memory and checked the drivers on our printer. Nothing seems to help. When I try to print, I get a blank page. Other people get the error messages. I don't know what else to do. Any one have any ideas?
79. Re: Document could not be printedifaarden Nov 9, 2010 8:29 AM (in response to nullifidian)
One possible workaround: Print the pdf to xps using a Microsoft Document XPS printer, then open the xps file with IE and print it from there. This worked for me.

Dmitry Itskov on Singularity 1 on 1
Published on Mar 7, 2012
"Dmitry Itskov on Singularity 1 on 1: It's Time To Think About Who We Are And What Is Our Place In The Universe"Yesterday I was very fortunate to get a rare English language interview from Dmitry Itskov -- the elusive Russian entrepreneur spearheading project Avatar and Global Future 2045.
The first time I saw Itskov was at the recent Singularity Summit where he revealed his uniquely ambitious project. I don't know Dmitry well but he may just turn out to be one of those soft-spoken, under-the-radar and camera-shy people who actually make things happen. I was impressed by his breadth of knowledge and courage to conduct our interview entirely in English. Itskov also impressed me as a very thorough person who makes the effort to respect all sides and points of view yet without sacrificing his personal integrity and commitments. That is why I will follow his progress with interest.
During our discussion with Dmitry we cover topics such as: his humanitarian motivation and the interesting fact that he initially was not even familiar with the concept of the singularity; the ongoing goals and recent success of the Global Future 2045 congress recently launched in Moscow; his project Avatar -- its goals, timeline and benchmarks; brain and head transplantation and the 1960?s experiments of Dr. R. J. White and his Soviet counterparts; our fear of the future and his advice to focus on the benefits and dream more often rather than the risks only; the general resolution that he is working on submitting to the UN general assembly; religion and Dmitry's genuine desire to engage all major traditions in discussing the project and especially its political and ethical implications.

2045: A New Era for Humanity
Published on Apr 28, 2012
In February of 2012 the first Global Future 2045 Congress was held in Moscow. There, over 50 world leading scientists from multiple disciplines met to develop a strategy for the future development of humankind. One of the main goals of the Congress was to construct a global network of scientists to further research on the development of cybernetic technology, with the ultimate goal of transferring a human's individual consciousness to an artificial carrier.
2012-2013. The global economic and social crises are exacerbated. The debates on the global paradigm of future development intensifies.
New transhumanist movements and parties emerge. Russia 2045 transforms into World 2045.
Simultaneously, the 2045.com international social network for open innovation is expanding. Here anyone interested may propose a project, take part in working on it, or fund it, or both. In the network, there are scientists, scholars, researchers, financiers and managers.
2013-2014. New centers working on cybernetic technologies for the development of radical life extension rise. The 'race for immortality' starts.
2015-2020. The Avatar is created -- A robotic human copy controlled by thought via 'brain-computer' interface. It becomes as popular as a car.
2020. In Russia and in the world appear -- in testing mode -- several breakthrough projects:
Android robots replace people in manufacturing tasks; android robot servants for every home; thought-controlled Avatars to provide telepresence in any place of the world and abolish the need business trips; flying cars; thought driven mobile communications built into the body or sprayed onto the skin.
2020-2025. An autonomous system providing life support for the brain and allowing it interaction with the environment is created. The brain is transplanted into an Avatar B. With Avatar B man receives new, expanded life.
2025. The new generation of Avatars provides complete transmission of sensations from all five sensory robot organs to the operator.
2030-2035. ReBrain -- The colossal project of brain reverse engineering is implemented. World science comes very close to understanding the principles of consciousness.
2035. The first successful attempt to transfer one's personality to an alternative carrier. The epoch of cybernetic immortality begins.
2040-2050. Bodies made of nanorobots that can take any shape arise alongside hologram bodies.
2045-2050. Drastic changes in social structure, and in scientific and technological development. All the
for space expansion are established.
For the man of the future, war and violence are unacceptable. The main priority of his development is spiritual self-improvement.
A new era dawns: The era of neohumanity.

Berkshire Shareholder Ponders Life After Buffett
What will happen to Berkshire Hathaway once Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger are gone? This was on the mind of shareholder Tom Russo at this year's annual shareholders meeting. As the meeting concluded, he was feeling hopeful.
