McCoy Tyner Chords Etude
Learn Jazz Chords and Comping Techniques with a 30 Day Practice Program
When it comes to quartal voicings, the pianist that instantly comes to everyone's mind is the great McCoy Tyner. More often than not, McCoy Tyner chords are a mix of different quartal chords that we looked in yesterday's 4th voicings lesson. This style of mixing outside quartal inversions was shown to me by Jiannis Pavlidis.
I have used the same rhythms every two bars and varied the quartal inversions throughout the piece so you can see some of the different possibilities when combing the different 4th voicings.
McCoy is quite fond of adding passing chords that are slightly diatonically outside the key of the piece. Listen to live recordings of McCoy playing modal tunes with John Coltrane and note how some of McCoy's voicings push Coltrane harmonically.
Things to Notice in this Etude
- Use of root position inversion quartal shapes in every except 7
- Mix of root position and first inversion shapes in bar 2
- 'Outside' quartal voicings in bars 4, 6, 7, and 8
As with the other etudes in the series, pick out some of your favorite concepts and start to work them over tunes you know and apply them to different keys.

text: Hi Friends, I am Syed from Bangalore. Recently I upgraded my car. Oh boy what an upgrade it has been. From driving a Alto moved on to the Adventure. For a long time I was planning to buy a SUV, however the prices of a decent one were literary beyond by budget. Then one day came across this beast, and after doing lot of research for a week finally bought this on Dec 26, 2012. Being a car enthusiast in general and great fan of Fiat, its been a wonderful journey with this car so far. The car is defiantly a head turner, it easily stands out in a crowd. I have taken the car on few long drives - BLR - Tumkur - MYS - Coorg and back to BLR (750 KM). The highway drive on the car is just amazing. I am a cautious driver, but this beast of a car hits 120 - 140 easily with out any effort. Its fun when you can zoom past other new generation cars so easily. The front bull bar, the riding bar and roof rails add tremendously to the image of the car, add to it the vast boot space, its a mini tank. The best part is when people come and inquire about this car, one cannot shy away from feeling proud. Hoping that my adventure with the prancing horse will be a long and pleasant one. Regards, Syed

I was the invited speaker at our annual Academic Awards Ceremony on Friday, April 10, 2015. I gave myself a simple goal: give a five-minute presentation composed entirely of questions that cause students, family members, and my coworkers to think more deeply about something. Here is a rough transcript of what I shared:
[Introduction by our Vice President for Academic Affairs detailing academic credentials, awards, etc., research work, and the like.]
Thank you for that kind introduction.
After that, I bet you are terrified about what I might be talking about this afternoon.
Actually, I won't be telling you anything. I have a series of questions I would like to ask you to consider. Please listen carefully – there may or may not be a test at the end.
Are you proud of the accomplishments that have gathered us all here together today?
Do they represent the best of what you can do?
Is there something more?
What is next for you?
Did anyone else help you reach this achievement?
Do you think that you can use your success to help others?
How would you describe this picture?
When we look at other people, why do we see our differences before we see our similarities?
Does a person's ethnic background, gender, religion, socioeconomic status, or sexual identity in any way alter their inherent value as a human being?
Have you even read the English translation of the Koran, or the English translation of the Hebrew Torah, or the English translation of the Bible, or any of the other sacred texts that people hold so dear?
Might it be possible for us to look past our differences to create a better future for all?
Is your future career supposed to be the thing that defines you as a person?
What other aspects of life should you consider as you plan your future?
Have others gone before you who might be able to give you helpful advice?
- What kind of impact will you make when you leave this place?
- Do the words networking and connections mean anything to you?
- What is your plan for securing a job after graduation?
- Where is God in your plan?
- What can you do to give back (to community, to your program at Ferrum, to family…)?
- Have you considered going straight on to graduate school?
- How will you handle being told you are overqualified for certain jobs and underqualified for others?
- Would you be okay with doing a job that is completely unrelated to your field of study as long as it makes you happy?
- Do you realize everything doesn't have to be perfect?
- How do you plan to rise above the glass ceiling?
- What kind of impact do you want to make moving forward?
What is the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything?
How does your life fit into the bigger picture?
What truly is the best good that you can accomplish in your life?
What is the source of that good?
What unique combination of knowledge, skills, and abilities are you taking with you on your journey through life?
How are you preparing yourself to seek after your greatest dreams in life?
Do you want to cure cancer? Achieve world peace? Stabilize the global economy? End hunger?
Even if you don't know all the specifics now, do you know that your future is a bright one?
Would your priorities change if someone you love got a challenging diagnosis that changed their life?
What would change if you found out that after all your hard work you only have a few months to live?
If something would be important to you if you knew that time was somehow shortened, why isn't it important to you now?
What remains for you to learn about the world in which we live?
What is left for you to learn about yourself?
What can you still learn about other people?
How can you live a unique and reflective life of purpose and significance?
Thank you.
That's all I had time to share… You can be the judge of whether or not I "hit the high points."
Changing My Mind
A few weeks ago, my wife's Bible study was talking about how scientists think (apparently because we don't think like normal people do). This caused her to reflect on the similarities and differences between her own faith journey and mine, and she asked me to explain how my understanding of the world (as informed by my study of science) helped to shape my response to the Gospel. Last week, I tried to give her (and our eldest daughter) the short answer while we were driving somewhere. Because I had such difficulty organizing my thoughts to be able to do so, I thought it would be a good idea to write a more detailed explanation down. This is the result.
My educational experience wasn't that different from most American children; I attended U.S. public schools for all of my primary and secondary education except for a four-year stint while my family lived overseas and I attended a private school there modeled after the British style of education. I did well in all of my classes except for one particular class in world history, and I excelled in mathematics and science. I like to think that I am a fairly logical person, and a coherent argument based on sound evidence is the most effective way of getting me to understand just about anything. That is probably why science was so attractive to me as a way of understanding the world.
We returned to the U.S. with just enough time for me to re-acclimate to the American educational system, take the appropriate standardized tests, and gain acceptance and enrollment at an upper-tier undergraduate institution. Everything looked good from the outside – I had scholarships to a good school, a good plan for my education, a great family, an exciting and stimulating summer job, and a handful of good friends that knew me and liked me in spite of (and sometimes because of) what they knew. At my core, though, I was unhappy. From my understanding of how the world was put together, I did not see how my life could have any purpose. If I was the product of natural laws and random chance, then there was no real reason why I should want to excel at anything. No matter what choices I made in life, the outcome would be the same: death, decomposition, and oblivion. There was no life after death, no spiritual aspect of existence… only our physical reality. It was a dark and depressing way to look at the world, and it made me angry. It made me despair. It made me wonder about the point of my existence.
I can be impulsive at times. But, I have the predisposition that, once I start something, I tend to finish it. I decided that, while my main purpose in going to college was to earn a degree that would help me make a good living in the future, I was going to take every possible opportunity to find some kind of meaning to life. It might strike you as strange that a 17-year-old would make that kind of decision, but I was desperate; if I couldn't find some kind of meaning to my life, I didn't know what I was going to do.
I read every kind of religious text I could put my hands on. I took a course in philosophy (which ruined my goal of 4.0 in my first semester of college). I talked to people. I asked questions. I learned that of all the people of faith, Christians understood the least about how the world worked. I found that, once I learned their lingo, I could debate with Christians and dismantle their arguments. At times, I could even make them doubt their fundamental beliefs. It was fun. It made me want to learn more about Christianity so that I could more easily attack their way of thinking. Most simply got angry at my arguments and started name-calling rather than debating the issues. That made things even easier. I could reject Christianity because professing followers of Jesus were hypocrites – they didn't even follow their own doctrines as explained in Biblical commentaries. They didn't even know what the Bible said, and when I pointed it out to them they got confused and angry.
(Now, there were a few who debated patiently and kindly, and they ultimately led me to good resources that helped me understand what Jesus actually taught. They asked questions and tried to understand me rather than trying to defend themselves and attack my way of thinking. To them, I am eternally grateful.)
The thrill of the hunt did not displace my deep-seated need for something greater. As I read the Gospels, then Job, then Ecclesiastes, then Acts and the Epistles, and so on, I began to understand something about Jesus. I began to see something of His character and what He offered His followers all those many years ago. It resonated with me in a way that nothing had ever before or has since. One night, I said something that changed everything: "Jesus, if you're real, I'll follow you."
There was no flash of light. I didn't hear a voice. No angels singing. No warm, fuzzy feeling. What there was, was peace. That was enough for me to keep digging. I turned away from the other things I had been pursuing and spent my free time in Bible study. The more I studied it, the more it made sense. That trend has continued through today. What I have learned has changed my life, sometimes quickly, and sometimes slowly over a prolonged period of time.
It seems to me that in most testimonies given by evangelical Christians, the Gospel message moved from their head into their heart. They understood the message of Jesus and made a conscious decision to accept it before that message transformed their life. As far as I can tell, my transformation took the opposite path. My desperate need for meaning and significance within my heart was satisfied by God through the message of Jesus. Because I could not ignore that change at my core, I felt compelled to re-adjust my basic understanding of the world. I made the intellectual concession that there could be an all-knowing, all-powerful God who created me (and each of us) for a purpose and that He could operate outside the confines of naturalistic laws just as easily as He could operate within them. I recognized that the only self-consistent and rational explanation of mankind's relationship to God is found in the Judeo-Christian Bible (and not all the other texts that I read as part of my search). Because of the change within me, I made the conscious decision to trust everything that the Bible contains… even that seemingly irrational explanation of the creation of the world. Because in faith I put my trust in what I then learned to call God's Word, my life has never been the same. Each year is better than the last – and sometimes I grow quickly enough to measure in days or weeks rather than in years.
Fast-forward to the present time, and I am now what most would label as an exceedingly conservative-minded person. Even with a Ph.D. in chemistry, I am a (gasp!) "Young-Earth Creationist." I have also found enough self-contradictions within the universalist-type approach to faith that I have been forced to discard it. Perhaps now you can understand something of how those things might come to be. That is, if you cared to understand in the first place. In any case, thank you for reading.
It can sometimes be a good idea to break from an activity to decide whether it is truly something in which it is worth participating. I think two-and-a-half years is a good amount of time to break from blogging… now the question becomes whether or not to take up the keyboard again.
I do need the practice and prompt to write, as long as I stay on task for those things that I need to accomplish.
We'll see how it goes… later.
House and Home
We are in the final stages of selling our house and buying another one.
To provide a little perspective, my wife and I moved into this house over nine years ago, back before we had any children. (Ah, the quiet life…) Growing up, my family moved every four or five years, so this is officially the house that has been my home for the longest period of time. It's been a good place to live.
So now we're getting ready to move. The funny thing is that I am fixing things now that we've lived with for most of the time we've been here. The timer knobs on the oven broke off during our first year here, and just the other day I found replacements for them. No, I hadn't been looking for them for eight years – we just grabbed the metal rod and set the timer that way. It was livable.
All summer, our "way-back yard" has been overgrown, and I even gave up on the garden mid-way through. Now, everything is clean and beautiful. Even our little fire pit is newly refurbished with kindling ready to strike an evening campfire during the cool fall evenings. We're not likely to get to use it, but I finally got around to it. (Well, actually I was procrastinating the daunting task of packing up the disarray in my shed, so I have a good excuse…)
I also fixed the basement doorbell, a minor leak in the roof, a stuck shower valve, a broken spring in our dishwasher, and a number of other things that were on my "honey-do" list. All minor projects; all pending for some significant amount of time.
This got me to thinking. Why is it that I was willing to live with things not-quite-right for so long when it was so easy to fix them? Why was it more important for me to fix them for this other family that will soon be making this their home instead of ours?
How am I settling for the not-quite-right in other areas of my life? Is it something that is easy to "fix"? Just a thought…
Oh, and let me tell you. Our "new" house won't have any pending projects once we get all moved in and settled. I won't let them accumulate on me like they did at this "old" house… (please note intended sarcasm here)
A Purposeful Life
Just a quick reflection that was prompted by my recent reading in prayer…
By Christ
Everything that is or ever has been was created by Jesus and for His glory. All the potential I can ever possess originated with Him, and any worth that I have came because it was given to me. He gave up his life so that I could be reconciled to God. That reconciliation comes as a free gift, and not because of anything I could ever do. All I do is accept the gift.
With Christ
Because of His extraordinary sacrifice and the quality of His character, I want to spend time with Him. I learn more about Him and bask in the light of His glory. Just as the "big ball of dirt" that we call the moon reflects the light of our local star, even I can reflect the glory of God by spending time with Jesus.
Like Christ
The more time I spend with Jesus, the more I find myself becoming like Him. I respond to others with more patience, grace, and mercy. I am inclined to be charitable rather than critical. I learn to love unconditionally. I am filled.
For Christ
As I am being filled to bursting, the natural outpouring of Jesus' unconditional love is for me to minister to others in His name. I do these things not to receive favor or acceptance, because I am already favored and accepted as an adopted son. I do things for Christ because I want to bring Him glory. Jesus did for me what I couldn't do for myself. Now I have a chance to do for others in His name.
If I keep this perspective, I think I'll have a pretty good day.
Developing Intimacy with God
A couple of weeks ago, I received an update letter from a friend who serves as a missionary. In that letter, I learned that he intends to transition to a different area of the same overall ministry, and that this was something that he is confident that God is leading him to do. I am wrestling with several different decisions at the moment – some related to career, others to lifestyle, others to ministry, others to childrearing – and his confidence intrigued me. So, I fired off an email requesting an extended telephone conversation, and we scheduled an appointment. (It's sad when I feel that I have to schedule an appointment for a phone conversation with a friend, but that's part of why I needed to have that conversation.)
We talked briefly of our families, and then got straight to the meat of what I wanted to talk about. Actually, it was more what I wanted to listen about. He had tapped into something that was largely foreign to me, and I wanted to know more about it.
He described his experiences and why he was confident that God was leading him in his new direction. Then, he asked me about my decision-making strategies. Eventually he told me about a resource that he has used to help confirm God's leading in things. It involves prayer (obviously), but is a systematic and deliberate way of prayerfully approaching a decision. It turns out that it is described in a book: "Developing Intimacy with God: An Eight-Week Prayer Guide Based on Ignatius' 'Spiritual Exercises'", by Alex B. Aronis. Based on his recommendation, I have decided to devote one hour per morning for eight weeks to work through this guide. Today was day two.
No, I'm not going to bore you by regurgitating each day of this process… I know that works for many bloggers, but it just isn't my style. Plus, I'm never sure how regularly I will be posting here and I don't want to disappoint the random person who wants to be able to follow the process. If that's you, get the book. It's an easy read, and VERY practical.
The first challenge I am facing in deepening my intimacy with God is being able to see myself as God sees me. I'm finding that I have first needed to examine myself and be honest about how I see myself. When was the last time you did that?
Ask yourself two questions:
- What is your primary purpose in life? (Really, what is it? Don't just give the Sunday school answer here…)
- What motivates you to pursue your primary purpose in life?
As I've asked myself those questions in the prescribed morning prayer time, I have found that my approach to situations during the day has been quite different than it might otherwise have been. A simple recognition of those two facts has already begun to shape the way I interact with the circumstances of my life.
If God can change me that much in two days, what might He accomplish in eight weeks?
What about if I give Him that much time over the course of a lifetime?
Things have been a little bit out of hand in my professional life lately, so I haven't had a chance to post anything new in some time. Apologies to those few of you who look forward to whatever small contributions I am able to make to the collective wisdom of the World Wide Web. (Yes, I'm aware of the irony of the last portion of that last statement.)
I've recently received a barrage of comments from my old pen pal David, whom I had previously tagged as a spammer on new posts and who said goodbye once more "for the last time." My friend Jim posted a reply to David and received a scathing response in return. Jim responded with his characteristic kindheartedness and was again rebutted by David. All this (and an early exit from a Friday afternoon faculty meeting) got me thinking about tolerance (and intolerance) for other peoples' points of view.
I've made no secret that I consider myself to be a follower of Jesus. (Before David points out some historical discrepancy in that statement, let me say that this is Yeshua bar Joseph of Nazareth, the man who was crucified by the Romans at the request of the religious establishment of Jerusalem for what they considered to be blasphemous actions and words. He is sometimes called Jesus Christ, and he stated on several occasions that he was the son of God and the "Son of Man". You know, the guy that the entire New Testament was written about.) My pen pal David and my friend Jim both talk about how they follow and/or esteem that same Jesus in different ways. Is it really possible for two individuals to "correctly" follow the ideals of one person in such different ways? Religious relativists would say yes, while absolutists would say no. In my estimation, David seems to be an abolutist. Jim seems to be also. I would classify myself as one as well. No relativistic thinking here (unless we're talking about physics). I'll let David and Jim say what they want about their own thinking on this matter.
So how should an absolutist thinker like myself deal with someone who holds beliefs so radically different from my own? Echoes from the past of "burn the witch!" and "kill the heathen!" and various other battle cries haunt my conscience. Jesus never condemned anyone. Oh, wait. He did condemn a few… See, for example, Matthew 23:13-36 (NASB).
Jesus taught the requirements of salvation, and the greatest commandments, and lived a life of servant leadership and forgiveness. The only condemnation he offered was condemnation to the religious elite who tried to tell everyone else the business of how they should relate to God whether or not they themselves did as they said.
As I see it, my obligation and joy as a Christ-follower is to do my utmost to live a life worthy of Him (whatever that means) and to share the "good news"/"Gospel" with everyone who will listen (whatever that means). It's the two greatest commandments all over again: love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength, and love your neighbor as yourself.
Would I condemn myself for having thoughts or ideas that are disagreeable? (Okay, so I may have just blown a gasket there. You get the general idea, though…)
A deeper question: what is the difference between tolerance and acceptance? Between listening and following? This is more important than simply allowing others to be heard.
Just my $0.02 at the end of a long and trying week. Comments (especially those that are constructive) are welcome. Rants are not. Thanks for reading.

Sheila Wedegis Art Blog
New Member To ArtID
by swedegis , February 7, 2009—04:18 PM
We moved to Florida 9 years ago this July and I thought then..perfect, I can do all the art shows around. Then that October .my Mother died and six days later my Dad followed her. What saved my sanity was my husband giving me a black Lab puppy for Christmas. I was having panic attacks and wouldn't leave the house. Needless to say with my shy sweet little Sophie I needed to go out. So together we went into the world and I started to aint what I love the most...my Labrador Retriever.
I had a cute red Cabrio Convertible and traded that for a huge Dodge van and started hauling and schlepping from show to show. Some were good for me, some weren't. We added two more Labs to the mix. They stayed home with Roger while I traveled and I remember the weekend in Atlanta thinking..I can't do this one more time. So..sold the canopy and all the trappings to a young artist who was so excited to start her traveling.
Small quick studies of labs were put on eBay and I found a whole new audience. Made contacts, friends. I'm still there but found ArtID..perfect timing I thought..I need to stretch paint new pieces, work on a series..
So..I hope you all come back to see what I come up with.
Chat again soon, Sheila

Your paintings of labs have such personality. I had a black lab years ago, I still miss her. Looking forward to seeing more puppy faces and reading more on your blog.

330 "Moons"
"I don't want to be a preacher, I want to make it fun." 330, often traveling between Washington, DC and Harrisburg, PA has become one of the most sought out female hip hop artists to date. Upon the arrival of her 2010 mixtape, Sorry I'm Late, 330 has maintained her priority position as an emcee, both well respected for her skill and admired for her authenticity. "I want my listeners to think about how ridiculous we sometimes are and how powerful we always have been. Then I gotta find the right beat to match." This artistic layering is what places 330 in a lane of her own.
Heavily influenced by culture and travel, a semester in France introduced 330 to the beauty and variety of language and cadence. "We would have crazy cyphers in French, English and Wolof. That definitely influenced me. When they rapped in Wolof, they had constant flow. It was amazing. I try to incorporate that."
To date, her resume includes a 2015, sold out feature performance at the famous Nuyorican Poets Cafe in NYC, her single "Money" featured on the Raising Wolves soundtrack in 2014, a standout performance at the A&R Power Summit in NYC in 2013, winning the Brooklyn's Hip Hop Festival's May 2012 Show and Prove Super Bowl Concert, a feature on the 2012 UK film, Stud Life, and being the only female artist to secure a spot on DJ Drama's 2011 mixtape, 3rd Infantry Division, and DatPiff's Power 99 The Opening Act Mixtape in addition to sharing stages with hip hop heavyweights such as Freeway, Rah Digga, Guru, Jairobi of Tribe, and Dres of Black Sheep.
Ain't No Tellin,' her first studio album, is an authentic portrayal of 330's life experiences. "I wanted to create a body of work that was easy to listen to but honest enough to touch the listeners. It's a coming of age story in a lot of ways. All of the stories on this project are true and important to me. I hope that people can reflect on the things they enjoyed, feared, celebrated, while they listen to mine."

California Lt. Governor to Chair Blue Ribbon Panel on Marijuana LegalizationOctober 17, 2013
Gavin Newsom, Lieutenant Governor of California, will chair a blue ribbon committee tasked with studying marijuana legalization in the state. This was announced at a joint press conference held this morning with the ACLU of California.
The panel will "engage in a multi-year research effort to help voters and policy makers as they consider proposals to enact a strict tax and regulation scheme that will enable California to benefit from billions of dollars of potential revenue annually while protecting the health and safety of our children and communities."
Joining Newsom on the panel will be "leading legal, academic and policy experts from across the state and nation."
The ACLU also released new polling data which revealed that 65% of Californians support legalizing and regulating marijuana, while only 32% were opposed and 3% undecided. You can view the full poll results here.
"This development is just a further illustration of how the debate over marijuana legalization has moved from the fringe into the mainstream," stated NORML Communications Director Erik Altieri, "An overwhelming majority of Californians are ready to legalize and regulate marijuana and it is encouraging to see key figures within the state move to address the issue in a forward thinking and serious manner. With a voter initiative likely in 2016, this new survey data also confirms that the people of California are ready to move forward to end their state's marijuana prohibition, with or without state legislators."
NORML will keep you updated as this effort moves forward.
California: 60 Percent of Likely Voters Back LegalizationSeptember 26, 2013
Six out of ten likely California voters support making cannabis legal, according to survey data released yesterday by the Public Policy Institute of California. Sixty-eight percent of likely voters also believe that the US government should not enforce federal anti-marijuana laws in states that have approved the plant's use. The percentages are the highest ever reported by the polling firm in favor of allowing adults to possess and consume cannabis socially.
Support for marijuana law reform fell slightly among all adults. Among all Californians, not just likely voters, 52 percent responded that "marijuana should be made legal," and 61 percent believed that the federal government should not interfere with statewide marijuana laws.
Men (57 percent), Democrats (64 percent), and Independents (60 percent) were more likely to express support for legalizing marijuana than were women (47 percent) or Republicans (45 percent). Caucasians (63 percent) and African Americans (61 percent) also expressed far greater support for legalization than did Asians (48 percent) or Latinos (36 percent).
Pollsters surveyed 1,703 Californians, including 1,429 registered voters. The PPIC poll possesses a margin of error of between 3.7 percent.
In recent months, polls in several other states — including Arizona, Louisiana, Michigan, New Hampshire, and Oklahoma — have shown majority support for marijuana law reform, as have national polls.
DEA: Marijuana Plant Seizures Decline to Lowest Levels in Nearly a DecadeSeptember 9, 2013
DEA seizures of indoor and outdoor cannabis crops declined dramatically from 2011 to 2012 and are now at their lowest reported levels in nearly a decade, according to statistics released online by the federal anti-drug agency.
According to the Drug Enforcement Administration's 2012 Domestic Cannabis Eradication/Suppression Statistical Report, the total number of cannabis plants eradicated nationwide fell 42 percent between 2011 and 2012. This continues a trend, as DEA crop seizures previously fell 35 percent nationwide from 2010 to 2011.
In 2010, the DEA eliminated some 10.3 million cultivated pot plants. (This figure excludes the inclusion of feral hemp plants, tens of millions of which are also typically seized and destroyed by DEA agents annually, but are no longer categorized in their reporting.) By 2011, this total had dipped to 6.7 million. For 2012, the most recent year for which DEA data is available, the total fell to 3.9 million — the lowest annual tally in nearly a decade.
The declining national figures are largely a result of reduced plant seizures in California. Coinciding largely with the downsizing of, and then ultimately the disbanding of, the state's nearly 30-year-old Campaign Against Marijuana Planting (CAMP) program, DEA-assisted marijuana seizures in the Golden State have fallen 73 percent since 2010 — from a near-record 7.4 million cultivated pot plants eradicated in 2010 to approximately 2 million in 2012. DEA-assisted cannabis eradication efforts have remained largely unchanged in other leading grow states during this same period.
The DEA's 2012 Domestic Cannabis Eradication/Suppression Statistical Report is available online here.
California: Supreme Court Upholds Authority Of Cities To Prohibit Medical Marijuana FacilitiesMay 6, 2013
The California Supreme Court ruled today that municipalities possess the legal authority to prohibit the establishment of medical cannabis dispensaries.
The unanimous ruling upheld a 4th District Court of Appeals opinion (City of Riverside v. Inland Empire Patients' Health and Wellness Center, Inc.) which held that local zoning measures banning the establishment of brick-and-mortar facilities that engage in the distribution of cannabis to state-authorized persons are not preempted by state law. Other lower courts had ruled against such local bans, arguing that cities can't use zoning laws to bar activity legal under state law.
It is estimated that some 200 California cities presently impose moratoriums on medicinal cannabis facilities. At least 50 municipalities have enacted local regulations licensing dispensaries.
Opined the Court:
"We have consistently maintained that the CUA (the California Compassionate Use Act aka Proposition 215) and the MMP (the Medical Marijuana program Act) are but incremental steps toward freer access to medical marijuana, and the scope of these statutes is limited and circumscribed. They merely declare that the conduct they describe cannot lead to arrest or conviction, or be abated as a nuisance, as violations of enumerated provisions of the Health and Safety Code. Nothing in the CUA or the MMP expressly or impliedly limits the inherent authority of a local jurisdiction, by its own ordinances, to regulate the use of its land, including the authority to provide that facilities for the distribution of medical marijuana will not be permitted to operate within its borders."
Although language included in Proposition 215 explicitly called for the state government "to implement a plan for the safe and affordable distribution of marijuana to all patients in medical need of marijuana," to date, lawmakers have failed to enact any specific statewide regulations regarding the retail production and distribution of cannabis to those patients authorized to consume it.
Commenting on the ruling, California NORML Coordinator Dale Gieringer said, "The court essentially affirmed the status quo. Local governments may choose to allow or limit dispensaries as they please. The unfortunate result of this decision is to leave many needy patients without legal access to medical marijuana in their communities, thereby promoting illegal black market suppliers. It is time for the state and federal governments to step up to the plate and fulfill the mandate of Prop 215 to implement a system of 'safe and affordable' access for all patients in medical need."
Legislation is presently pending in both the California Assembly (AB 473) and Senate (SB 439) to impose statewide regulations governing the dispensing of marijuana produced for medical purposes.
Full text of the California Supreme Court's opinion is available online here.
Representative Nancy Pelosi: I Think State Marijuana Laws Have to Be Respected; I Think Tax and RegulateMarch 12, 2013
In an interview with the Denver Post, published this week, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi spoke about the marijuana legalization initiatives passed in Colorado and Washington in November.
When asked, "What are the measures in Washington (DC) that might address states that legalize marijuana and what is your view of federal policy?," Minority Leader Pelosi expressed her support of state laws regarding marijuana and encouraged a tax and regulate policy:
Q: What are the measures in Washington (DC) that might address states that have taken steps to legalize marijuana and what is your view of the federal role?
Rep. Pelosi: I support the leadership of Jared Polis, who has been a leader on this issue as well as other members..I understand some of the Republican members support the law now that is passed, even if they didn't before.
But in any case, to answer your question, what is my position regarding the states that have medical marijuana or recreational marijuana as the law of their states: I think that has to be respected. I think tax and regulate.
In order to do that, there has to be a level of respect for the fact, that if you are going to have recreational marijuana, someone is in business to do that and they have to have tax treatment in order for them to function as a business.
How the state of Colorado interacts with the federal government on the taxation issues is something they have to work out, but I think they should.
You can view the full interview here.
Representative Pelosi now joins the growing list of prominent politicians who are coming out in support of rational marijuana policy. Take a minute of your time and click here to easily contact your Representative and urge him or her to support Representative Polis' legislation, HR 499: The Ending Federal Marijuana Prohibition Act of 2013, and put an end to our nation's war on cannabis consumers.

So I have OFFICIALLY finished the 5th Harry Potter book. And am about to dive into the 6th.
This calls for a celebration. A celebration with pasta.
This is one of those 'kitchen sink' meals, where you throw everything in your fridge into a bowl and call it a meal. This turned out quite well, but the large shells were a bit of a pain. I love love love large pasta shells but sometimes they are just so big and impossible to deal with.
However, this is the perfect combination of sweet [grapes], crunchy [celery], and flavorful [sun-dried tomato and basil cheese]. Whip this up to keep on hand and pack in your lunch. I am slowly but surely mastering the art of packing lunch and snacks to keep me going through my 8am-5pm school days.
Mediterranean Pasta Salad
2 cups large shell pasta or 1 cup smaller pasta
1 c grapes, chopped
2 celery stalks, chopped
1/4 c chopped pecans
1 Laughing Cow sun-dried tomato and basil cheese wedge, melted
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
Feta for flavor
Mixed greens
1. Cook pasta according to directions, then drain.
2. Combine pasta, grapes, celery, and pecans in a bowl.
3. In a separate bowl, combine vinegar, olive oil, and cheese wedge. Microwave in 10 second intervals, stirring until melted, or melt in a pot. Pour over pasta.
4. Serve pasta over mixed greens and sprinkle feta on top.

Chili Peppers 2012 Tour
November 29, 2011 by staff
Chili Peppers 2012 Tour, Red Hot Chili Peppers are coming back on the road next year to support their comeback album "I'm With You". The West Coast band fronted by Anthony Kiedis announce that they will embark on a world tour and launch it with a North American leg starting January 2012.
Six dates of the upcoming tour have been officially revealed. Tickets for the confirmed shows are going to be made available for purchase beginning December 3. The other shows will be announced in the coming weeks along with info about ticket on-sale dates.
The band last toured in 2007 to promote their album "Stadium Arcadium". They kicked it off in February 2006 and stayed on the road until summer the following year. After wrapping up the gig, they took a break which led to John Frusciante's new solo album release and departure.
After four years in hiatus, Red Hot Chili Peppers returned last summer by dropping "I'm With You". Led by single "The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie", the CD debuted at No. 2 on Billboard Hot 200 and entered the first spot on the U.K. Album chart.

Recycle in a DB2 database means that the database has to deactivated and reactivated. You need two thing for that:
- You need to be sure that the database does not continue activated after the last connection is finished. You will execute a "db2 deactivate db xxx" in order to assure that the database will be down after the last connection.
- There are not any user connected to the database. You check that with "db2 list applications" and the command should answer that there are not active connections. If there are, and you do not know how to stop naturally, you could a "db2 'force application (xx)'" where xx is the application handle (id) of the list, or you could do a "db2 force application all" and then all connections will be killed.
Recycle for an instance is similar, you need to do a db2stop or db2stop force, and then db2start.
When doing an instance recycle, you will turn off all the databases under that instance.
A recycle is necessary to apply some parameters.AngocA

| |Mantas, often seen with wingspans greater than 15 feet, are the encounter of choice among divers traveling to Baja.|
Cross over the U.S. border below the California state line and you've entered the great Baja peninsula. It is a land of vast, dry desert studded with cardon cactus and pine-rich rock mountains. Heart-stopping underwater encounters await you on sites surrounding the many uninhabited wind-raked islands dotting the coastline. The plankton-rich currents of the Pacific along the western coast of California Sur and sheltered waters of the Sea of Cortez support whale sharks, dolphins, giant manta rays and schools of sharks such as scalloped hammerheads.
La Paz and Loreto on the southern interior and Los Cabos (Cabo San Lucas and San Jose Del Cabo) at the southern tip are the staging areas for expeditions to dive with the same sharks and rays that draw divers to exotic locales like Cocos Island and the Galapagos. Out in the deep, 220 miles southwest of Cabo, the Socorro island chain, also known as Islas Revillagigedo, is an uninhabited archipelago that offers tremendous diving on its lava-forged flanks.
Midway up the east coast of the peninsula, Loreto sits perched in the shadow of the Sierra Giganta mountains. The town of 10,000 is little more than a sleepy, seaside community, but divers have long boarded boats headed to the nearby islands of Coronado, Carmen, Danzante, Monserrate and Catalan. Like most of these island sites, the marine habitat encompassing them was protected by the designation of the Parque Maritimo Nacional Bahia de Loreto in 1997.
The underwater cliffs of Los Candelleros, a triad of rocky mounts to the east of Danzante, drop precipitously to a rocky bottom at 200 feet.
Down for 20 years, the 120-foot tuna boat in Bahia Salina Bay rests at 35 feet near the site of Carmen's now defunct salt plant. Out in Escondido Bay, Punta Coyote is a quick panga ride from shore. The rock bottom is strewn with boulders, most with settlements of sea fans, gorgonians and their attendant schools of balloonfish.
| |Yellowfin tuna are often found schooling at offshore seamounts in the Sea of Cortez and at sites surrounding the Socorro Islands.|
La Paz
A favorite beach destination of Mexicans, La Paz, hub of Baja eco-tourism, affords some of the best diving in the Sea of Cortez. There is a diversity of options: a shipwreck dive, a chance to swim alongside sea lions and the likelihood of shark encounters at the seamounts.
The 300-foot-long ferry Salvatierra became an artificial reef by accident, grounding on Swanee Rock in San Lorenzo channel in 1975. Cargo, like the trucks that were en route from La Paz to Topolobampo, rest alongside the former World War II transport ship at 60 feet. Cortez angelfish, jewel morays and groupers are common not far from her still-intact props.
With her backdrop of sharp monolithic rocks, Los Islotes, on the north side of Isla Partida, has been colonized by sea lions. An archway cut through the island on the eastern end is a popular night dive, rife with cocooned parrotfish, king angelfish and billowing orange cup corals.
Rising up to within recreational limits, the Pinnacles and Seamount of Las Animas as well as El Bajo Seamounts attract schooling jacks, tunas and hammerheads. Boat trips are not quick jaunts, so operators favor making a two-tank outing a day trip with lunch.
Socorro Islands
The volcanic chain of Socorro, San Benedicto, Roca Partida and Clarion islands is reachable only by live-aboards and other vessels capable of handling the 24-hour crossing from Cabo. Strong currents, plankton-rich upwellings and underwater promontories characterize the diving in this protected string of islands.
November through June is the optimal dive season thanks to the most manageable conditions, but currents and surge are common even then. While visibility can top 100 feet, pockets of plankton can cloud the water.
With drum-beating wings, giant mantas glide through the waters surrounding Benedicto's seamounts like the Boiler. Galapagos, silvertip, silky and hammerhead sharks frequent Bruce's Site, a seamount on the eastern side of Benedicto in full view of her volcanic cone.
Along with San Benedicto, Socorro, centerpiece of the islands, is a southerly reference point along the spring humpback migration. Less imposing than these great mammals, creatures like clarion angelfish, redtail triggerfish and Moorish idols appear at Socorro sites between Double Pinnacle and North End.

| |Schools of Panamic sergeant majors and barberfish intermingle on a Baja reef.|
Don't allow the beachfront high-rises and boomtown atmosphere of Cabo San Lucas and San Jose Del Cabo color your impression of the diving. There is much to be seen here in addition to the barren rocks of the Land's End arches where the Sea of Cortez commingles with the cold Pacific.
Credit Jacques Cousteau with the discovery of Sand Falls, a barren plain at 90 feet where sands shift over a rock wall. Nearby Anegada Rock, which the boats pass en route to Sand Falls, is the year-round residence of a sea lion colony. Farther north in the Bay of San Lucas, a similar rookery of sea lions has adopted a rocky mount called Pinnacle.
On shore, a blowhole sends a spray of water shooting skyward from the rocks. Offshore, the dive site Blowhole features several walls and caves sloping from 40 to 100 feet.
Experienced divers will prefer a trip five to eight miles out to Gorda Banks, a seamount that tops out at 130 feet. Moray eels hide in fronds of black coral while hammerheads, mantas and occasionally whale sharks cruise the currents.
Considered the northernmost living coral reef in the Pacific, the cluster of four separate reefs known as Cabo Pulmo were forged from the ground up by polyps. At 20 to 70 feet, this shallow reef and its surrounding waters harbor 220 species of fish. Boats from Cabo take approximately two hours to reach the site.
Dive In
Getting there: International airports at San Jose Del Cabo and La Paz are served by a number of U.S. and international airlines. Transpeninsular Highway 1 is the ticket for the drive south.
Getting around: Cabs, shuttle vans and rental cars are readily available in major cities.
Accommodations: Run the gamut from top-dollar resorts to local hotels, RV parks and primitive campgrounds.
Weather: Temperatures can soar to 110F in summer, but the average is more like 95F. In the winter, expect daytime highs in the low 70Fs. The sky is usually cloudless and the sun intense, so don't forget the sunscreen.
Water Conditions: There is year-round diving in the Sea of Cortez off Baja Sur, but the best time is late June to early November. The absolute best months are September and October, when the seas are flat, visibility peaks at 60 feet or more and surface temperatures hit a toasty 85F. It's still cold enough below the thermocline that most divers opt for full 3mm wetsuits.
In winter, surface water temperatures drop to 65 to 70F, so you'll need a 5mm or 6mm full wetsuit with hood and gloves. Seas can kick up to two to three feet, and vis drops to an average of 30 to 50 feet due to plankton blooms. On the plus side, gray whales and occasionally blue whales move into the sea in winter to feed and mate, increasing your chances of an encounter.
Electricity: 110 volts, 60 cycles. Not all facilities have U.S.-style three-pronged plugs, so you may need adapters.
Telephone: To reach Baja, you'll need to dial 011-52, followed by the local three-digit area code and the five-digit number.
Documents: Passport. You'll be issued a tourist visa good for 180 days by Mexican immigration on arrival. There is also a departure tax.
Money Matters: The Mexican peso is the official currency, though U.S. dollars are widely accepted in tourist businesses and larger cities. Traveler's checks and credit cards are also accepted at resorts, restaurants and dive shops. You will need pesos for small purchases, gas stations and merchants in outlying areas. At press time, the official exchange rate was US$1 to MXP9.23.
Just In Case: There is a recompression chamber in Cabo San Lucas that's on call 24 hours a day.

The Kronenhalle is Zurich's most legendary restaurant: top bankers, artists, authors, editors-in-chief and celebrities come to the famous brasserie on Bellevueplatz as well as a mix of (well-dressed) ordinary people. Lots of dark wood and original paintings by Mirò and Picasso on the walls give the brasserie its classic, yet old-fashioned look. The food (schnitzel with cucumber salad, bouillon with liver dumplings) is good to be sure, if a bit pricey, but many people simply come here to see and be seen. There is a salon for private dinners and a cocktail bar.

OK friends, this is one of my less spiritual posts, but you know what they say about variety being the spice of life and all, so bear with me.
Cindy and I just left Jewel Osco on the corner of Hovey and Cottage in Normal
where we just picked up my favorite coffee: Chock Full O Nuts. Never heard of it? Well you must try it. Not only is it the best coffee you can buy at a supermarket, but it is the best value. The cans are 39-Oz, not wimpy 33 or 34.5-Oz cans like Folgers and Maxwell House, and it's LESS EXPENSIVE. Plus, I am delighted every time I brew a pot of "New York's Coffee Since 1932" because it is NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE to brew a bad pot of this wonderfully smooth and consistent java. There's a reason they call it "The Heavenly Coffee" because it nearly is just that - heavenly.
I used to get Chock Full O Nuts coffee in Michigan when we lived there but when we moved to Arizona we could not get it. So I struggled along with the other brands and put up with inferior coffee for years. After we moved to Illinois, I had all but forgotten about Chock Full O Nuts since it had been so long since I had seen it in a grocery store. It was a few years ago, on a trip to Chicago for work (when I had a "day job") that I found Chock Full O Nuts once again, and picked up a can. It was just like I remembered it! Not wanting to have to buy it in bulk on my monthly Chicago trips, but desiring to find it locally, I began a campaign to try to convince stores in Bloomington Normal to carry it consistently in the large can (much better value than the small can)! When I could get it here, I could only find it in the tiny can, and that is depressing since I go through those really fast. Praise the Lord that Jewel-Osco heard my cry and brought in some of the large cans. It's on sale now, also, for $ 8.99 (Sometimes in Chicago, I could get it for as low as $ 6.00!)
So PLEASE go out and get some Chock Full O Nuts from the Jewel Osco at the corner of Hovey and Cottage or any other store you find it at. (HINT: They do NOT stock it in the big cans at Krogers or at Meijers!) I am convinced you will love the flavor and aroma of it as much as I do.
THANK YOU Jewel Osco for stocking my favorite brand!
OK now to any of you who thought I was nuts, your suspicions have been confirmed. I am "Chock Full O Nuts" - LOL!
Have a blessed evening.
P.S. If you try it please post to this column and let me know what you think!

ATLANTA - A state House Republican said Friday he will bring impeachment charges against Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle if the Senate refuses to consider a dozen veto overrides the House passed on the first day of the legislative session.
State Rep. Ron Forster, R-Ringgold, said Georgia law requires the Senate to consider the veto overrides immediately instead of sending them to a committee, and threatened to call for Cagle's impeachment if he doesn't soon follow suit.
"Our constitution is the foundation of our society," said Forster, chairman of the House Interstate Cooperation Committee. "We cannot have somebody ignore what's written in the constitution. If you don't like it, you can amend it, but you have to follow it."
Cagle, for his part, seemed to laugh off the proposal.
"We appreciate Rep. Forster injecting some humor into a stressful legislative session," said Jaillene Hunter, Cagle's spokeswoman.
The House overwhelmingly voted to override a dozen of Perdue's vetoes on Monday, the legislative session's first day, including one forcing the city of Auburn to "deannex" 17 parcels of land it annexed in 2006. But the Senate refused to take immediate action, sending the proposals to a committee where they remained Friday.
Forster would target the impeachment proceedings at Cagle, who as lieutenant governor presides over the Senate. He said the resolution won't aim to oust Cagle from office, but possibly fine him.
"I'm not out to crucify him. It's not a House-Senate squabble," he said. "This is my feeling."
If the proposal moves forward, it would certainly ratchet up the tension between the two chambers.
The friction between the two chambers erupted in the final days of last year's session, when Perdue vetoed the $700 million midyear budget. The veto galvanized House leaders, who rallied the chamber to override Perdue's veto. But Senate leaders refused to follow suit by claiming the move was unconstitutional.
Republican leaders promised a clean slate this year, but the message of unity they preached quickly rang hollow after the veto overrides.

Authentication Help
EDIT: I meant Activation, not authentication!
I bought the student upgrade version of 7 a while back without realizing that it was simply an upgrade meant to be applied to a computer with an earlier version of Windows already installed. I didn't notice this until I went to use the installation disc sent to me to install it on my new desktop I built. When I went to authenticate it using the product ID given to me upon purchase, it failed and said something along the lines of, "This key doesn't work with this kind of install". I skipped the step and went along and installed without authenticating, and 7 runs great. But...
Multiple times each day I get reminders to authenticate my software, and now that it's been a long time it's sort of getting annoying. I also can't change my wallpaper (which I'm assuming has to do something with this issue); if I do, it goes to a plain black wallpaper in a few minutes. Does anyone have any idea how I can authenticate my copy of 7 with my upgrade product ID, even though I did a clean install? Any help would be appreciated!
