Kathy H.United StatesWeight And Size Of NozzleI still don't see the weight of the 4000. Also how large is the nozzle opening where the air comes out? I don't like to use the attachments and if the opening is too large I will need to use the attachment.3 out of 3 shoppers thought this post was helpful.

TamaraCaliforniaThere Is No Other Blow Dryer! Sedu Is God/-essThis blow dryer replaces all flat irons and other blow dryers! I use to spend an hour blow drying my hair and then flat ironing it and trying to curl it only to have the curls fall out twenty minutes later. I have curly/wavy hair that looks full when it's curly and thin and flat when it's flat ironed. After buying this blow dryer I'm able to blow dry my whole entire head in thirty minutes, I don't have to flat iron it (only my bangs since they curl up if I sweat even a tiny bit), there's no frizz, my hair looks FULL, and I can twist my hair up in a bun for five to ten minutes and when I unravel the bun it looks like I used a curling iron to curl the ends. AH-MAZE-ING! I read reviews and thought,"This probably won't work on my hair type," but it does! Not only does it work on my hair, but my friends and sisters come by my place specifically to do their hair if they're going out that night because they know my blow dryer works wonders! It's expensive but worth every penny and you save time and money on going to the salon.1 out of 1 shoppers thought this post was helpful.

Mags B.PricingI'm confused. This is supposed to be on 'special offer' at $159.99 yet one of the posters from Oct mentions she paid $150 for it. The offer doesn't seem that great now. I was seriously considering purchasing until I saw that.15 out of 22 shoppers thought this post was helpful.

MegSillyMags B.- You are talking about $10 here. You aren't going to find a better hair dryer and when you are complaining about $10, were you ever really going to purchase it in the first place? I highly doubt it. You should take advantage of the 25% off $125 or more.

AndreaI Need Some Hair Dryer AdviceI was looking at purchasing this machine buy I heard some negative reviews on it. I am very interested in the qualities this machine has to offer such as turning off the Ionic switch and the fact it heats up quickly. I heard that it is hard to style your hair with this machine. I normally flip my hair inward and I would like to know if this is true. I have looked at a few other machines such as the twin turbo and baby bliss but this one is the one that interests me the most. I used to have a T3 until it unfortunately melted... dont ask! and I want to know how this machine compares to that one1 out of 1 shoppers thought this post wasn't helpful.

"The selection this year wasn't stellar but I sill managed to find a few to choose from. The card quality is thick and the printing is perfect. I have yet to have any imperfections. Thank you Tiny Prints. Ill see you next time!!"
"I ordered these cards to send to family for Xmas. I didn't even choose different colors or choices, as I loved the design already. I was worried about my photos ruining the look of the card, but the quality of them on the card is amazing. I have never had such good quality in a Xmas card before. I absolutely love them. They are vibrant and very stylish. Love that the back has a pattern on it, too. Makes them stand out that much more! Very, very happy customer!!!"
"Ordering my Christmas cards from Tiny Prints was a very fun and easy experience. Designing the card was most fun of all. There were so many good choices to pick from, but I knew what I wanted from the start. When I received the cards they were absolutely beautiful and I couldn't wait to send them out. The quality of the paper was excellent and all the photos were clear and of good color. They were so good I am thinking of ordering more. I am definitely hooked on Tiny Prints!"
"We received tons of compliments for this card! One suggestion: the ribbon color you included, sort of a silver/gray, was not my favorite. I would have preferred red. I bought some red ribbon and used that instead."
"The card was very nice but the back of the card I chose green and it was hard to write a message on the card. But the customer service was amazing. FEDX delivered to a neighbor but I did not know for a few days...but the company overnighted another order free of charge and saved the day. Everything got sent out by christmas!"

With housing now in recovery and apartment rents rising, there is new concern that tenants and investors alike will move out of the multi-family space.
A huge drop in the number of new apartment buildings started in April only fueled that fear, but it may be unfounded, according to one noted analyst.
Multi-family is in the, "calm before the [development] storm," according to Ivy Zelman, who is known for calling the housing crash and for recently turning bullish on the home builders.
(Read More: Despite Rising Demand, Some Builders Slow Production)
"Despite overtures of the headwinds from new supply, our April survey results showed positive gains in both occupancy and rents ahead of expected seasonal trends," she wrote in a report to clients.
(Read More: Apartment Building Bubbles as Single-Family Homes Struggles)
Zelman noted an intentional slowing by home builders, who are strapped by labor and supply shortages and who are looking to gain pricing power as the market recovers, as a key driver of apartment demand.
Rising rents are pushing some tenants to move, but not as many as expected. 11.5 percent of departing residents in April left due to rent increases, according to the report, up from 10.9 percent in 2012 but way down from 17 percent in 2011. In addition, more than half of those moving out remained in the apartment rental market. Thirty percent bought a home, and ten percent rented a single family home; the remaining moved in with family or friends.
The concern for investors in the apartment sector, especially in multi-family REITs (real estate investment trusts), is that there is too much new supply coming on line, just as demand is about to turn. The government numbers for housing starts in April added confusion to that argument, but some say the monthly numbers, especially for new construction, which have a wide margin of error, are just "noise."
(Read More: Rising Rates Rattle Mortgage Market)
"Multi-family starts plunged 38.9 percent to 23,000 units, but the more important average of March and April was still a solid 321,000 units," noted Michael Montgomery, an economist at IHS Global Insight.
Investors have been turning away from the multi-family sector, which is now underperforming other REIT category, despite still strong fundamentals.
"While the multi-family REITs have lagged in 2013 we remain modestly overweight the sub-sector at this time. We believe the industry retains its attractive fundamentals," wrote analysts at Cantor Fitzgerald in a note Friday.
(Read More: Map: Tracking the US Real Estate Recovery)
Supply of rental apartments is still far lower than buyer demand. The spread between the two, in fact, is at the highest level since August of 2011, according to the Zelman report. That reflects, "an exceptionally competitive market," for apartment investors even as single family home ownership comes back to life.

What's The Best Diet For You?
- By Matt Fitzgerald
- Published Dec. 19, 2013
The answer, it turns out, is fairly simple.
There are lots of different health-based diets out there. They can be distinguished from one another in various ways. Perhaps the two most important variables to consider when choosing a healthy diet to follow are research-proven health benefits and restrictiveness.
The very point of a health-based diet is its health benefits, of course. Proponents of each specific diet will, naturally, argue that theirs offers the greatest number and degree of health benefits. But you can't take their word for it. You have to look at what real science says about it.
Some diets are more restrictive than others. That is, some have longer lists of prohibited foods than others. As a general rule, the more restrictive a diet is, the more difficult it is to sustain. Again, proponents of each specific diet will present themselves as living proof that it's sustainable, but what's sustainable for one person might not be for another.
Let's look at the proven health benefits and restrictiveness of various diets.

New to this board, just signed up today. Expecting baby #4 in August. Just wanted to say HI to everyone, it seems like a nice and friendly place.
Welcome to the boards! I am so glad that you found our community, and you are right this is a pretty supportive place to come. :) Congrats on baby #4. Are your other kids excited about the baby? Do you know if it's going to be a girl or a boy? What are YOU most excited about in regard to being a "new" mom again?
I hope you will continue to come and share with us how things are going.
Saw ur post. Congrats n welcome. I am new here as well.
Thank you! My 2 oldest are excited about the new baby, my youngest is too young to know what is going on. I am only 14 weeks, so it is too soon to find out if it will be a boy or a girl, but we will definitely find out when I am farther along. My mommy instinct says girl ( I was right in guessing with my previous 3) but we will just have to wait and see.
I am most excited about getting to hold a newborn again . I love holding babies just cuddling with them. They are just so little and sweet. I can't wait to meet my little sweet baby.
Thanks for the welcome. I will check in again soon.
Luv2crochet -
Welcome and congrats on number 4!! I'm impressed you had such great instincts with your first three kids and guessed their gender correctly. I had absolutely NO clue with my first and am pregnant with my second - guessing a girl as well! I, too, love the snuggles and cuddles with a newborn. There is nothing quite like it. :-) I'm glad you joined and look forward to hearing how your pregnancy goes. I'm 12 weeks along - so we are fairly close! Congrats again. :-)

From The Publisher's Desk: Our souls need nourishment, too
As Thanksgiving comes around once more, I find myself thinking back to those times when folks really did gather around a table and enjoy a meal as a family.
But, mostly, I keep thinking about my paternal grandmother, who cooked all those meals, and the prayer she said before we began eating.
We sat around my grandparent's formal dining room table for all those Sunday dinners in the house on Simerly Creek Road that Amy and I would eventually live in for the first five years of our marriage.
We announced our engagement to our friends around that same dining room table, and we had our first Thanksgiving meal as husband and wife at the table in 1995.
Far beyond those days, though, were the days of my youth, as a boy and a teenager. By the time I was an adult, though, the days of my grandmother's Sunday meals were no more. Alzheimer's disease had taken her too far away for her to continue cooking, and, eventually, she wasn't with us anymore.
Her hugs and kisses, her Sunday meals and mealtime prayer were gone.
Oh, my, I remember those meals so distinctly – a full table of meats and vegetables. Every Sunday must have been like Thanksgiving. The vegetables she canned were part of the smorgasbord on the table. Even the things I never ate – the pickled beets, corn and beans – I remember. Corn, green beans, potatoes and slaw were placed in individual bowls with wide-colored rims. The table settings were plates from her china cabinet, tall glasses with tiny stars and silverware from the box atop the buffet.
My grandfather was at the head of the table and always seemed to be buttering bread before any of the rest of us were even around the table. My brother and I sat side by side next to the big windows that looked out into the yard and into the garden where so much of the food we enjoyed was grown and harvested. My mother sat to my left at the end of the table. Across the table from me was my grandmother, and my father, her son, sat next to him.
When the table was set and she'd called us to eat with a "young'uns, let's eat," she would bow her head and ask a short blessing. It was almost always the same prayer, sort of a recitation, if you will.
As the last few days have passed, I've tried and tried to remember her exact words, but I cannot hear them clearly. I see her, and I hear her voice but not all the words.
What I do remember is this part: "Bless this food for the nourishment of our bodies."
It saddens me that I can't remember all of Verna Stevens' prayer, but when I think of my grandmother, it's always nourishment for my soul.

Panel can't muster votes to pay $600 pauper bill
By Max Hrenda
When faced with the cost of another pauper burial, the county's Budget Committee couldn't agree to foot the bill when it met Monday evening.
Carter County policy dictates that once a pauper affidavit has been approved and investigated, one of the local funeral homes will handle the burial and receive payment from the county.
Historically, $1,800 has been budgeted for the pauper burials, which average around two or three per fiscal year, and cost $600 per burial.
But commissioners resisted when County Mayor Leon Humphrey asked for another $600 from the General Fund balance to pay for the ninth pauper burial this fiscal year, which would total $5,400 since July 1, 2012.
Commissioners then asked why the number of pauper burials has increased.
"I can't give you the answer for that," Humphrey said. "The economy itself is a factor. All of them have filed their applications and are well within the parameters that were established by the commission."
Humphrey elaborated on the investigative process, saying that a pauper affidavit can only be awarded if the family has no property, assets, or automobiles.
Because the lack of income suggests a lack of collectible taxes, however, Commissioner Lawrence Hodge said the county should not be liable for pauper burials.
"If they haven't paid any county taxes, I don't see where it's our responsibility," Hodge said.

The Lampshade
A Holocaust Detective Story from Buchenwald to New Orleans
Jacobson's mind-bending historical, moral, and philosophical journey into the recent past and his own soul begins in Hurricane Katrina–ravaged New Orleans. It is only months after the storm, with America's most romantic city still in tatters, when Skip Henderson, an old friend of Jacobson's, purchases an item at a rummage sale: a very strange looking and oddly textured lampshade. When he asks what it's made of, the seller, a man covered with jailhouse tattoos, replies, "That's made from the skin of Jews." The price: $35. A few days later, Henderson sends the lampshade to Jacobson, saying, "You're the journalist, you find out what it is." The lampshade couldn't possibly be real, could it? But it is. DNA analysis proves it.
This revelation sends Jacobson halfway around the world, to Yad Vashem in Jerusalem and to the Buchenwald concentration camp in Germany, where the lampshades were supposedly made on the order of the infamous "Bitch of Buchenwald," Ilse Koch. From the time he grew up in Queens, New York, in the 1950s, Jacobson has heard stories about the human skin lampshade and knew it to be the ultimate symbol of Nazi cruelty. Now he has one of these things in his house with a DNA report to prove it, and almost everything he finds out about it is contradictory, mysterious, shot through with legend and specious information.
Through interviews with forensic experts, famous Holocaust scholars (and deniers), Buchenwald survivors and liberators, and New Orleans thieves and cops, Jacobson gradually comes to see the lampshade as a ghostly illuminator of his own existential status as a Jew, and to understand exactly what that means in the context of human responsibility.
One question looms as his search goes on: what to do with the lampshade—this unsettling thing that used to be someone? It is a difficult dilemma to be sure, but far from the last one, since once a lampshade of human skin enters your life, it is very, very hard to forget.

I must say I didn't put much stock in the possibility that a Dominican spiritualist working out of a basement in Union City, New Jersey, would have much to say about a human skin lampshade reputedly made in a Nazi concentration camp. But there I was sitting across from Doña Argentina, a large woman wearing a ceremonial headdress and smoking a pair of cigars, one on either side of her mouth. A friend of mine, a devotee, had recommended the medium, saying that if the lampshade had truly once been part of a person, "the spirit" would still be present. If so, then Doña Argentina would make... see more

Carlson Labs L-Glutamine 750 mg - 300 Capsules
Carlson Labs L-Glutamine is an amino acid. Carlson Labs L-Glutamine amino acids are the building blocks of protein. Carlson Labs L-Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid (protein building block) in the body and is involved in more metabolic processes than any other amino acid. Carlson L-Glutamine is converted to glucose when more glucose is required by the body as an energy source. Carlson L-Glutamine serves as a source of fuel for cells lining the intestines. Without it, these cells waste away. Carlson L-Glutamine is also used by white blood cells and is important for immune function.
Carlson Labs Excipients
Vitamins are organic compounds that are necessary for normal growth and maintenance of life. As we are unable to synthesize vitamins, we must rely on foods and food supplements to maintain adequate amounts in our body.
Thirteen essential vitamins have been isolated and these are divided into two categories, water-soluble and fat -soluble vitamins. The water-soluble vitamins include Vitamin C and the group of B-Vitamins. These water-soluble are not stored by the body and can be readily depleted. The fat-soluble vitamins A, D, and E remain in the body for longer periods of time.
Although minerals make up only a small fraction of total body weight (4-5%), they are essential for human metabolism. Minerals act as the catalysts for many biochemical reactions within the human body. They are involved in responses of the nervous system and muscles, the absorption and secretions of the body's fluids, and maintain a delicate water balance within the body. The bones and teeth of our body have high mineral contents which accounts for their hardness and rigidity. Minerals, like vitamins, must also be supplied by dietary means as we are unable to synthesize them in our body.

Gregory Davis: Son of Miles
" I remember times we were on the road when I knew he was spitting up blood, coughing up phlegm and this and that. He never missed a note. It was amazing. "
We thought it was done... for a while. And now this. A book about The Man, written by none other than his eldest son, Gregory Davis someone heretofore almost entirely unheard from on the subject. In fact, a man who some felt was unworthy himself, due to a checkered past of his own. Gregory Davis said he ruminated on Dark Magus: The Jekyll and Hyde Life of Miles Davis (Backbeat Books, 2006) for sixteen years before bringing it to fruition. It's his right. It's his father. The merits of the book won't be debated here, nor will the family squabbles that left he and his brother Miles Dewey Davis IV out of their archetypal father's will. They are also on bad terms with the Davis Estate that includes his sister Cheryl that claimed, in a short statement, that it find no validity in the book
Gregory Davis traveled with his father off and on. Lived with him. Saw good and bad. Saw tenderness and tantrums, cruelty and compassion. He saw the drugs come and go, as well as the women. And he recounts some of those tales in a style that is straightforward, just as Miles did. Some sound meaner in the book that they may really be, since in talking with Gregory, there appears no sense of animosity.
Miles got him into boxing, which led to an award-winning amateur career. Miles taught him, in stern and uncompromising fashion, the trumpet, which Gregory plays to this day, including being a bandleader in search of a new CD. In turn, Greg was his protector at times, occasionally using his pugilistic skills to keep menacing drug dealers in their place when his father (only 5 foot 6 and often in pain and bad health) could not. Protector in drug situations. It was a hot and cold relationship, as one would expect when it involves the mercurial Miles. But water does travel under the bridge and move on.
It should, anyway.
"Sketches of Pain one headliner apparently couldn't resist above a recent review of Gregory's book. But in speaking with him, he really doesn't project that pain. Surely he went through it, but young Davis had his own problems, including drugs and brushes with the law. Sometimes it was a two-way street as to who hurt whom between father and son. Gregory reveals some of the outrageousness of Miles behavior at times. But speak with him, and it appears to be a "what's the big deal? attitude. He is proud of "father he didn't call him Dad, as he aptly explains in his book and feels he wasn't a failure as a father despite uncomfortable situations.
Is there an axe being ground? Are efforts to tour with a band and come out with a CD a deliberate capitalization on the book? One can't imagine Davis having an impact on the trumpet, especially at age 61, even remotely close to that which, say, Ravi Coltranea bitch of a playerhas on the saxophone. And yet capitalization and manipulation is such a part of any rock star's career, especially when it comes to CDs and tours, that it's a surprise when it doesn't happen. Was Rod Stewart's follow-up of a shit-filled standards album with yet another an attempt at capitalizing? That's really not important when it comes to the book, which offers another perspective on a musical legend. And this music that comes out will hopefully be judged of its own accord. And Davis is a decent guy. Approachable and open.
Gregory Davis spoke at length about Miles, music, drug use, the Miles legacy. The talk deliberately didn't try to hash through the problems among Miles' family. That's for them to figure out.
All About Jazz: What are you up to nowadays besides being an author?
Gregory Davis: Going to the gym regularly. Practicing the horn. We want to bring out a CD as fast as we can. We want the book and the CD to synergize each other. We're gonna hit 'em with a one-two punch if we can pull it off that way. Then probably a book tour. We're trying to set that up now. I've been talking to people on the phone all day about this and that. There are a lot of possibilities. All this promotional stuff. The promotional stuff has got to be set up right before anything else happens.
[In the past] I've recorded with people like Lester Bowie. I did a movie score years ago when I was traveling with my father, called God Is Not Dead. I did a B-flat blues in the movie score in Jimi Hendrix's studio, Electric Lady down in the West Village [NYC] years and years ago. This was when I first came to New York to help him out because he was going through so many changes and stuff. What I wanted to do was learn music at the same time that we were helping each other, father and son. I figured I'm interested in this horn, maybe my father, who is a great player, can show me something.
I wrote a suite and I've written a few songs also that I have copyrights on. They'll probably go on this new CD along with other new material.
I'm calling the band MDX. The X factor is "after Miles Davis.
AAJ: How do you feel now that the book is out? Has there been good feedback?
GD: There was a small book party at Mo Pitkins [Mo Pitkin's House of Satisfaction, NYC], a small venue. Greg Masters, the guy that puts on Miles Mondays [a weekly Miles Davis listening event at Pitkin's], he's a class act. Every Monday he plays Miles Davis music from every paradigm and from every era. He had called me and said, "Greg,would you like to do a little book party at Mo Pitkin's? In appreciation for what he does every Monday, I said okay. [Early December, 2006].
We need bigger venues, that's what we need . This book has got to fly. It's a sixteen-year-old baby. It might be a contradiction in terms, but it's been in the process for sixteen years. Some publishers thought this was gonna be a tirade or some kind of bitter book because he's a guy that was left out of the will. But it shows a different side of the man. It shows a personal side heretofore no one has seen from someone who lived with him, who was his son, grew up with him, cried with him, laughed with him, fought with him, who was in the trenches with him. Whatever he needed, I was there with him. Never been heard or seen before, from someone who really knows the man, who traveled with him from the age of ten years old.
As he got older and started ailing, he would call for me whenever he needed someone he could trust and rely on, out of love and respect. I never looked at him like a piece of meat, like, "We better get his name on this will. I did what I did out of love and respect.
AAJ: What was it like going through the process, going through all these memories? Was it fun, was it difficult at times?
GD: It was really fun at times and painful at times also. But I remember the good times. I have no hang-ups on the bad times. I'm not fused to any bad times. He was a man who went through the gamut of emotions and scenarios, as many different scenarios as you can think of. It was a full life, an extraordinary life. Amazing, amazing, gifted person. I was very honored to be with him and to be beside this man.
He was a social mover. People like Bogart, people like Elvis. These are social movers. He's the man that changed the sound of the trumpet. Louis Armstrong changed it, then he came along after Armstrong and nobody could touch him. You know it was Miles Davis if you heard him. He was in the forefront of every music paradigm. Not for the sake of change, but the music dictated to him that he must do it this way, or that way.
Even when he was in his house for a period of absence from the stage or from touring, the great musicians to the rookies would say, "What should we play, Miles? He only gave that to himself and his band. But they would come to him and ask him that. They knew that he knew.
AAJ: Some of the stories you got from your mom. Is she still around?
GD: She has Alzheimer's. She's in California for a warmer climate than the Midwest and St. Louis. St. Louis is very cold. I have to go see my mother.
AAJ: You mentioned in the book that you didn't like a lot of the other books on your father. I've read just about everything on him. I thought some of them were fairly thorough. Especially Ian Carr's and John Szwed's.
GD: I didn't say I didn't like any of them. Who's the guy that wrote Space Is the Place about Sun Ra?
AAJ: John Szwed.
GD: Yeah, John Szwed. He's a nice guy. I did an interview with him. I was appearing at a place called the Baby Jupiter with a band. He came in and said he was doing a book and wanted to do an interview. We had lunch. He's a nice guy and he wrote nice things about me. I appreciate his book.
AAJ: That's the first book that I read about Miles where somebody actually talked to you. I remember being surprised because writers always gave the impression that Miles didn't have anything to do with his kids, or very little. Then all of a sudden in John's book it talked about how you did this together and that together. I remember thinking, "This is the first time I've read that.
GD: He approached me in a gentlemanly fashion. I complied. It's no problem with me. Even though I was constructing my own book. I'm not funny like that. This [Miles] is a great man. This is a man that's given to the world. He's like public domain.
AAJ: Paul Tingen did the Electric Miles book. He never met your father, but through talking to Chick [Corea], and [Jack] DeJohnette and Dave Holland, I thought he did a very nice job.
GD: The reason I don't appreciate some of those books is because they never extended themselves to try to reach out to me. I'm still living. If you want to speak to somebody that knows the man, speak to his son. Speak to the one who traveled with him, that he called on to be with him, to be by his side. To be his protector, his assistant road man, whatever he needed. Just don't write a book about the man and put something in there that he don't know me. I don't appreciate that. I'm available. Find me.
I've been living in New York for years. There's someone that knows me that can get in contact with me if you're writing a book. That's what I don't appreciate about these people writing these books. They never do interviews with people that know the man, but they claim that the book has some factual material in it. How can it be factual if you don't interview his son?
AAJ: Some of them covered the musicians and life very well, the guys that he played with and traveled with. But a little light on the family stuff.
GD: Even in my extended family, I'm the only one that he called on. Out of all my brothers, I'm the one that he called on. This is what he did. I'm not setting myself up as someone better than anybody else. When he wanted something done, he called on me. He prepped me for this position during his lifetime, I guess, because he loved boxing. I'm the one that won all the trophies. He was friends with Sugar Ray Robinson. He talked to Muhammad Ali on the telephone. He was friends with all these great fighters and athletes. He supported me in boxing. It helped me along the way. When I was in the service [the Army] it helped keep me out of military duty because I went on the boxing team.
I'm the only one, if you ever saw the team picture, that has two trophies in his hand because I won in two weight classes.
AAJ: What weight classes were those?
GD: Light welterweight 139 and then 132 lightweight. I had to go down seven pounds. They said, "Davis, you have a chance. We don't have anybody to fight for the 132 championship. Within three days I had to do it. I was exhausted. They had me in a steam cabinet. I was training hard, hard hard, losing that seven pounds. You have to make weight, get on a scale or else you are disqualified.
It helped me help him, with all the hangers on and the bad drug deals and stuff that went on when I was with him. I had to protect him. I was kind of prepped for the situations that I had to endure while I was with him.
AAJ: A lot of the books, or if you talk to musiciansI've talked to Dave Holland, Herbie [Hancock] and Chick [Corea] and Elvin Jones, Sonny Rollins, Shirley Horn, other onesthey all describe him as highly intelligent, warm a lot of the time, and very funny. But mercurial, of course. Back and forth. Is that a fair assessment? I've never heard a musician speak ill of him.
GD: He was that kind of way. You have to remembera lot of people don't know thisMiles Davis comes from royalty. Our ancestry goes back. I've done research and I need to be doing even more research; that will be my second book, I think ... All the way back the Pharaohs. The black Pharaohs and the black Indians that came out of Mecca and Medina from the West Nile to the East Nile. He always said that he came from royalty. My ancestors did no harm to the earth. They did no harm to the animals. They were caretakers of God's domain. I think this was a gift back to my ancestors from him in some kind of way; one of the gifts. Giving this musical gift to humanity, through the ancestorship, inherited kingship all the way back to the black Pharaohs of Egypt, back further than that. Because they came over in ships. They weren't slaves when they came over here, my ancestors who were kings. They always used to tell him. He'd always say he came from royalty because they used to tell him that. He never checked it out. Now I'm the one that's checking that out.
He was highly gifted. I've seen him sleep with his eyes open, and I said to myself, "He must be asleep because he's snoring. This is something that highly intelligent and aware people do.
AAJ: Of course he had his moods...
GD: Mood swings. That's why he wasn't good for relationships with women, because he had so many mood swings.
AAJ: He had so many physical pains. He had the bad hips, he was in a car accident, and he was shot once. I think that's enough to make any of us irritable.
GD: Of course. Of course.
AAJ: Then the drugs made things worse. But even without drugs...
GD: The irritation when you have to stand and up and play trumpethe wouldn't sit down. He hated that. The only time was when his leg was in a cast and he'd sit down. He stood up, even though he was in pain. He had to take pills for that. It makes you irritable. He had so many pills he had to take for this and for that, and then have to perform and stand up on that leg and was in such pain.
AAJ: I don't think that's widely talked about. That would bother anybody.
GD: Sure. I remember he was in a hospital for special surgery. A profound specialist in that area operated on him and put a bone in his hipit was like an artificial hip that he had. He was in pain and he had to stand up and play the horn.
I remember times we were on the road when I knew he was spitting up blood, coughing up phlegm and this and that. He never missed a note. It was amazing. I used to take his horn in the wings [of the stage], on concerts, make sure they were ready to play. I knew he was sick, but he never missed a beat, never missed a note. If he missed a note, he would always know how to end it or fix it up so you couldn't recognize it, or turn it into something else.
AAJ: A woman who did a magazine piece, Cheryl McCall, traveled with the band for a bit. She said he was even fatherly toward the band. He was playing with younger guys in the '80s. Joey DeFrancesco, who was a teenager with Miles, told me that too. Is that a side of him you saw with his band mates?
GD: Yeah. As I said, when he was off and not playing on stage people used to come and ask them, "What should we play? He kept that to himself, only giving it to the musicians who were in his 'school, in his band. With that kind of information, it had to be fatherly. He was giving them information that should have been his alone. He was giving them information they couldn't learn in school. They were getting it from the horse's mouth.
AAJ: In your book you talk about how good a trumpeter Miles was as a youngster and how Elwood Buchanan [Miles' early instructor] knew that. Some articles written a while ago say he wasn't all that good when he was young. I always doubted that. It doesn't make any sense. How did he make it to New York if he wasn't any good?
GD: Clark Terry saw it. He was a great trumpet player when my father was coming up, one of my father's great idols. Clark recognized it and saw his potential, even at an early age. He probably didn't have the exposure. After he got the exposure, he traveled frequently to Pittsburgh and Detroit, even at an early age when he was in high school. He was playing music. His father and mother didn't really realize what he was doing. He was sneaking off doing these dates and stuff like that. He made himself familiar with the music.
He always put high goals upon himself and he expected the same out of some people. That's what really angered him a lot of times. People wouldn't come up to his expectations.
AAJ: Would you say that's one of the reasons why he had distrust, or would only let certain people close to him?
GD: He had a distrust of some people, but if he got to know you, you were alright with him. He would loan people money and expect the same kindness in return, or just expect it back. But sometimes people take kindness for weakness, or kindness for granted. He couldn't understand that and it really hurt him. "Here's $500, or here's $1,500. Just give it back to me when you say you're going to give it back. Then they would pitty-pat on it, "Here's $10 Miles or "Here's $15. It hurt him when people betrayed his trust. Especially women.
AAJ: You also mentioned, briefly, Peter Bradley. When did you know that he was your brother?
GD: Peter is like my adopted brother. Peter spent a lot of time with Art Blakey, spent a lot of time with Miles Davis. He thinks he may be Miles' son. [Miles] used to go to Detroit a lot when he was in high school. Peter's mother was great friends with my father. He doesn't know for sure that he's Miles Davis' son, but he thinks he is. Peter's a genius. He's a great artist. He was one of the only black artists as well as dealers. He became rich at an early age and had a Ferrari himself. He and Miles used to hang out together. He's been supporting me. He wants to see me carry this legacy on. Nobody can carry this legacy on but a Davis. Forget about any other person.
AAJ: When you speak about his relationships with women, is it bothersome to you, or is it something you get over?
GD: They can be your best friend or your worst enemy, you know, if you've ever been involved. He was so judgmental and had so many mood swings. And he was rich. A lot of times people can't relate anyone being rich. He didn't bend for anyone. He was independent. He didn't have to depend on them for money or for anything. He expected them to think and to know him intimately. I don't expect any woman to really know me. I expect them to try to understand me. He expected them to try to understand. If he said something was blue and it was green, he expected them to say, "Yes. That is blue. He would get angry if they didn't say it, or believe the way he believed.
So at times, he was very hard on them. But he gave them gifts. He would give them jewelry and money. They'd get the money to go shopping. He treated them like queens. Then, on the other hand, they would have to be at his beckon call. If he would whistle, and that's what he usually did, they'd have to come downstairs within a minute. It was his bidding, and that's what he expected.
AAJ: Was that bothersome to you, looking back? Or is that just the way it was?
GD: It's just the way he was. I never thought that it was correct. Maybe some of them liked it. I'm not a woman so I can't say.
AAJ: In the years you were around him, what kind of music did you hear? Who were the musicians you saw?
GD: He used to play music all the time. When we were on 312 West 77th Street [NYC] he used to play music all the time, especially stuff that he was working on. He had reel-to-reel tapes. He used to play rehearsal music, stuff he and Gil [Evans] were working on.. He used to play music from that paradigm to learn what he was doing. When he was doing the Sketches of Spain work with Gil, he would play Spanish gypsy music; have it on all night. He would play Porgy and Bess, some parts over and over and over again. He listened to all facets of music if he saw something in it. If he saw a substance that he wanted out of it, he would listen to James Brown, Marvin Gaye, Prince, Bartok, you name it. Stravinsky. He would put it on, just to get something in his musical head that he wanted to do.
AAJ: When you went to clubs and stuff, what struck you about the music, or about Miles?
GD: When I first went to hear him play, I was a young guy. We took a propeller plane to Chicago. I was a kid of around eight years old or ten years old. I was airsick, We got to the joint called the Crown Pillar. Philly Joe [Jones], Red Garland, Paul Chambers, that classic band that he had. Coltrane was there. At the time I was playing drums. After they played he asked me to come on stage and sit in Philly Joe Jones drum seat and take a little solo. He said, 'This is my son. He's gonna play a little drums.'
The music impacted meI shook all over when I heard that music. I was a child. This thing unnerved me. When I heard that band strike those chords, it really unnerved me. First of all, when we got off the plane I immediately went into the restroom and threw up. I was airsick. Then we had to rush to the joint because he was almost late. He set me right in front. These were great players. Everybody's a legend. Philly Joe Jones, Paul Chambers. They blew right in my face. It was like somebody hit me with a musical cannonball. It shook me all over. A chill came down my spine. I said, "What is this? I had never heard any music live.
AAJ: How about later when you were traveling with him as part of his road crew? Did it still have that kind of effect?
GD: He was just amazing. Every time that I heard him. I never heard him play a bad tune or a bad note. Even if he was sick and spitting up blood on stage. I had to carry him to the hospital in San Francisco. I knew he was sick, but he never missed a note. He'd stand on stage and turn it into something different. Everybody loved it. He was cursing on the stage, spitting up and everything, sick as a dog. Never missed a note. Amazing, amazing, amazing music always. Whatever condition. He never ceased to thrill.
AAJ: Any particular band members you got to know real well, or liked their music struck you when you were with them?
GD: Every single band that he had, if he was in front of that band, he made that band cook. Whatever band he was with, he brought the best out of them. So I can't say. I was with them with Wayne Shorter, Tony Williams and Herbie Hancock. We were in Chicago, I think the Jazz Showcase, and Wayne was playing a split horn. And Wayne said, "Greg, I like this horn because it has a different sound. And mind you, it was like a student horn. He was telling me that he wasn't playing his regular horn, but he wanted to play the horn because he heard something in this particular horn. That's how musicians are. He was stretching.
They were really exploring at that time, stretching the limits, and it made Miles explore more too. They were taking it out, and then bringing it back in. Taking it all the way outside the melody and then brining it back in. Using a lot of diminished chords. But if he was in front of that band, he would bring it back in. They would take it out, but he would sure enough bring 'em back in like you bring a horse back in line after he's been raring to go and racing.
Each band he had amazed me. I don't know why people say he sold out, or this or that, with fusion. He was always in the forefront of music. He was a social movement. He was like Bogart or Elvis, but even more than that. He changed the sound of the trumpet, the whole instrument. Before him, Satchmo did it. He was always in the forefront of music. Everybody appreciated him. Even the rock stars. As a matter of fact, that trophy is sitting in my house right now, that Rock and Roll Hall of Fame trophy.
AAJ: In that book, there's a picture of you at the awards ceremony, you and Cheryl [his sister] at the podium. It doesn't identify the others, but isn't that Erin [Davis, his half-brother] and your cousin Vincent [Wilburn, who spent time as a drummer in Miles' '80s bands]?
GD: Yeah.
AAJ: Is the other guy [far left] Miles IV?
GD: No, that was Paul, Cheryl's son.
AAJ: You talked about the cocaine use too. Do you think anyone could have stopped that? Or was he so strong-headed no one could do anything about it?
GD: He stopped heroin. Even to talk about it made him ill. The coke gave him a little more energy and a little more stamina to play, to work. It brought his body around to where his mind was, so to speak. His mind was always racing. If you got a sixty year-old body and a genius mind of sixteen, you need something that's going to bring that body along with that mind. Because you want to race and your body says, "Hold it. Wait a minute.
When he wasn't working, he was like a fish out of water. You can never get enough of cocaine. You always abuse it. It's a drug where you're always looking for that first rush. Over and over and over again. He had a lot of fun with it, with the women, with this and with that. But you abuse it and abuse it so much, things happen and things happen and you don't know yourself. He didn't know himself after a while. He became like a Mr. Hyde. That's what happens.
He was not raised that way. When you look at that picture of my mother and my father together, that's the Miles that wanted to come to New York City and be with Charlie Parker and wanted to explore horizons in music. You have to go back to that to get the pure Miles.
AAJ: Are you judgmental about him using the cocaine, are you angry, or is it just one of those things that you couldn't control?
GD: Nobody could control it. I talked to him. I was his father at times, trying to get him not to use so much. The thing is, if you have a young girl on your shoulder that's a coke freak, you know, you want to do more for her because you want to party with her. What are you gonna do? Your physical weakness overcomes you. You submit to doing the stuff. Even if you want to change. That's what happened to him. You have to keep yourself away from all the hangers- on.
He was like a fish out of water when he wasn't working. A lot of athletes are like that. They have extra energy they don't know what to do with when they're not working. He was like that. He paid for it. He became Mr. Hyde. He was Dr. Jekyll with the music, but he became Mr. Hyde. He wasn't doing anything positive.
AAJ: You were around him in that period from 1975-80 when he didn't play. Was it as dismal as people used to say it was? They said all he did was do drugs and have sex with women and his house was dark and dirty. Which I'm sure is true in part. But more recently people have written that it wasn't as bad as many writers tried to paint it. He did play some music. I think it was John Szwed who said he played some music with Larry Coryell at one point. And he would tinker at the piano and try and figure out tunes once in a while.
GD: He did tinker at the piano. I remember him. Music never left him. He might have had a revolving door with women and drugs at certain times. But music always consumed him. He would find melodies and write little melodies out.
The bottom on Miles Davis is that he loved beautiful melodies. He was one person that could play "Bye, Bye Blackbird or "You Don't Know What Love Is and make it his own. He owned those tunes. Someone else may have written it, but when he put that mute on that horn, he changed the sound of the horn and made those songs his. He always loved melody. Even though he played fusion, he put melody in fusion. People don't understand how he mixed jazz and rock. He could do it. He had the genius.
AAJ: I don't want to rehash the stuff with the will and everything, but has your family read the book?
GD: They've been on record in newspaper that they're ignoring it, but that's silly. If they say they're ignoring it, you know they're reading it. They have to read it. People tell me you can't be a Miles Davis fan without reading that book. They have to say they're ignoring it because they have other plans in the works. I don't know the details. They're going to have to come around. People are beginning to understand the cover's being pulled off of them. They're having to explain themselves.
AAJ: What about your band, are you touring with a group?
GD: We have to go into a studio with the MDX band. We have some beautiful music. The music is made for large venues like arts centers and Madison Square Garden. This is not a club kind of band. I've got a guitarist that stretches out like Jimi Hendrix. He needs stacks of Marshall speakers.
AAJ: Is it fusion, or how would you describe it?
GD: There are no more boundaries. I would say it has beautiful melodies in it. It's mixed with some blues, some rock, some jazz. It's like jazz meets blues, jazz meets fusion, jazz meets techno. There are no more boundaries. This music is not hard to listen to. That has become such a problem.
Pure jazz, which is beautiful, is an area. But it's a small, diminishing area. People are not that esoteric. They can't get with all of that stretching out. People are more pop oriented now. You have to deal with the times and you have to put your creative qualities where they are most expeditious.
AAJ: You don't have a CD yet.
GD: No. We need to get into the studio and do that. We've been rehearsing it. We have the music already laid out. We need some financial backing for that.
AAJ: Who else, besides, obviously your father, influenced your playing?
GD: Clark Terry. Dizzy Gillespie. Louis Armstrong. Those are the primary ones that I listened to and take bits and pieces of what they did. You can never do what they did. You have to take bits and pieces and keep turning them around and see if they can fit your repertoire. I'm not trying to be my father, I'm trying to do my own thing. If it comes out strong like he did it, then so be it.
The name of the band is MDX, the X-factor you can say is the continuation after Miles Davis. The mystic element after Miles. The MDX band. People go for acronyms now. There are all these bands (on the scene) that are acronyms. But this band means something because it's named after a great man and it has the X-factor, meaning the factor that's after him, the continuation after Miles.
AAJ: Would you ever want to do anything like play with Erin (his half-brother and a drummer)?
GD: Of course. Sure. I have no problem with that.
AAJ: That might be cool, I would think.
GD: I have no problem with that. I'm not one that divides family. I'm one right now that's trying to unify the family; get it back together and not let money be an issue, greed be an issue and not let small things like that be an issue. This legacy is bigger than all of us. It's not about greed not money to me. It never has been.
I did what I did out of love and respect for my father. I never thought of him as a piece of meat. "We'd better get his signature on this will so we'll get something after he's dead. I never thought of him like that. Maybe I should have, in a way, because you see what happened.
AAJ: Does little Miles (Miles IV) play an instrument?
GD: No. He's not interested in doing anything like that. He loves cars. He's a good person. He's not involved with music. He listens, but he doesn't play anything. He used to play drums.
AAJ: Is he around New York?
GD: He's in St. Louis. I talked to him recently. I think he's going to move to the west coast where it's warmer. My mother is there also. He enjoys driving his Porsche.
AAJ: Looking back on it all, is there something you miss the most about your father, something you admire the most?
GD: I miss his guidance. I can still tune into him. It may seem strange to you or anybody else. I can still tune into him, get small gifts from him. If I'm at peace, I can tune into him and he can tell me what he wants to tell me and show me things.
When I was a kid we used to play ball together, go to boxing matches, we used to hop in a yellow cab and go to Yankee Stadium. Father and son stuff. He was a real father. He would dress his kids out of Sachs Fifth Avenue. He was a great father. He was successful and he wanted to give it to his kids. That's one reason I know he would not leave his kids out of his will. Of course he would get angry at times. He wouldn't have thought like that or gone forward with anything like that (leaving kids out of the will).
AAJ: You guys had problems at different times in your life, which isn't unusual. But are there any big regrets in that regard?
GD: I regret that I didn't see himhe wanted to see me before he died. He tried to wait on me. I found out that he had been in the hospital for about two months, and they called me two days before he was gone. If that's not some kind of evil, I don't know what is. When a man is on his death bed, you give him his last request.
I'm sorry I didn't see him. He tried to wait. He told his brother (Vernon), who told my friend. That's how I know that Miles said, "Tell Gregory I tried to wait on him.

She meanders along winding trails, talk over the fence and drink wine with a stranger, literally and figuratively.

As a teacher of world religions and art, and an artist, this will not be a string of anecdotes, but a woven together, reader-friendly, vividly painted, theologically reflective whole.read more

'The Powers That Be' is an unusually engaging, credible exploration of nonviolence as the most adequate depiction of what Jesus meant by being peacemakers and reconcilers. By nonviolence, is meant not submissiveness and passivity, but disciplined, effective struggle for justice and peace along the lines of what Gandhi, King, Day, Soelle, and others taught and modeled. Its effectiveness is hinted at by the fact that by far the majority of successful toppling of oppressive regimes in the 20th century were by nonviolent means. Walter Wink offers a new and eye-opening understanding of passages like 'turn the other cheek, walk the second mile….' I taught it in college course and was told that student evaluations named it the most popular text of the semester in any subject area.read more
During the celebration of Christmas, familiar images are recalled in hymns and scripture about the birth of Jesus. In the popular mind, the appearance of herald angels, shepherds abiding in the fields, the star of Bethlehem, the virgin Mary giving birth in a stable, and the adoration of the Magi, have all been melded into one Christmas story. In reality, there are in the gospels, two distinct and at times contradictory stories of Jesus' birth. A careful reading of the Bible itself reveals that so much about this celebrated birth is myth.read more

A conglomeration of robotics, virtual reality, video games, digitally produced art, laser tag, career forums plus some "Star Wars" and "Tron" action in January can only mean one thing: It's Otronicon weekend at Orlando Science Center.
The eighth annual event, which runs Friday-Monday, is "a celebration of technology in all forms," says Jeff Stanford, the science center's vice president for development.
It's jampacked.
"There's probably more content going on in Otronicon than you can experience in the short time that we're doing it," Stanford says.
That doesn't mean you shouldn't try. Stanford helped us out with a sampler of Otronicon features that could inspire you to attend.
Digital duels
Video-game competitions are back at Otronicon.
The contests had various forms through the years, including on the giant screen of the science center's Dr. Phillips CineDome.
"What we found over the years was that the science center itself didn't have the infrastructure to run these competitions the way that the public really wanted," Stanford says. Otronicon took a hiatus from video duels last year.
"Our audience really noticed, and we got a lot of feedback: 'Where are the competitions?'" Stanford says.
This year they'll be under the eye of Longwood-based Powder Keg Games, which puts on such events year-round. For a $5 entry fee, folks can compete in four games: Black Ops 2 on Friday, Halo 4 on Saturday, Super Smash Bros. Brawl on Sunday and Mortal Kombat Komplete Edition on Monday.
All access
Otronicon opens doors.
"You can't walk down to Lockheed Martin and knock on the door and go, 'Hey, you see that flight simulator that the Navy trains on that you're prototyping? I'd love to climb in that and look around,' " Stanford jokes.
For example, EA Sports will be on hand with designers and current games, including augmented-reality selections. And Quantum 3D will show off virtual reality simulators used for military training.
"You get access to this stuff that you would never get to otherwise," Stanford says.
Stay in school, kids
There's an educational vibe, of course.
"The thing that we want them to take away from all this is that there is science driving all of this," Stanford says. "If you enjoy video games and you want to be a video-game designer, you need to have a good understanding of physics. You need to have a good understanding of math. You need to pay attention in your science and math classes. You can't just be awesome at Halo and be a good video-game designer."

The official Chelsea magazine and matchday programme are looking for supporters to appear in print on their pages.
Both publications are full of features with all the on-field stars of Chelsea, but we are looking for fans to participate in a brand new section of the magazine by telling us their story of following the Blues from the stands or around the world.
Every month, Chelsea magazine will be giving a different fan the chance to relive one of their favourite trips to watch the team play. Whether you want to tell us about your first-ever Chelsea match, an interesting European away trip you've been on, or travelling halfway around the world as an overseas fan, we want to hear from you.
We are giving you the chance to see your words in print by providing a short article about the journey, the game itself and why both were so special, as well as including any photographs you have of the trip.
Every issue of the of the monthly magazine and the matchday programme, which is read by thousands of fans at Stamford Bridge at every game, also features several supporters who have sent us photographs showing their love of the Blues. Ahead of the 2013/14 season we are looking for more fans to get involved by sending us a picture of themselves in full flow cheering on Chelsea and telling us about their passion for the club.
If you would like to appear in either of those features, please contact us by email at email@example.com and firstname.lastname@example.com or by post at Chelsea FC publications, Third Floor, Stamford Bridge, Fulham Road, London, SW6 1HS.

Type of softener and Age of softener please.
After everytime my water softner recycles I get air in the line. It"s only on the first floor the second floor doesn"t seem to be affected. It takes quite awhile for the air to clear.
Type of softener and Age of softener please.
Could be the unit is drawing air during a cycle. Check the brine line carefully.
There was a brine float assembly that was out for awhile, still is but the rubber seal at the base of the float arm would go hard and break, letting air in and way to much water in the brine tank..
That float was plastic with 1/2" nut on the pickup tube and 3/8" on the brine line.. it is a copy of the Fleck 2310 saftey float..
If this is a Sears, Eco. Linsay. Northstar, or a Morton it is the float under the float! Autotrol valve check the sheck in the glass bowl.
