This is the world's first frozen margarita machine, invented and built by Mariano Martinez in 1971 from parts of a soft-serve ice cream maker. His inspiration: A 7-11 Slurpee.
Today, it resides in the collection of the National Museum of American History, where a museum director once called it a, "classic example of the American entrepreneurial spirit."

A fine example of building on existing technology.
I hope that was an open source ice cream maker, or he might have gotten his butt sued off =oD
teapot says:
Mariano Martinez… what a fine upstanding example of American Entrepreneurial spirit.
Him and Braun for the V-2, right? :P
LightningRose says:
I consider Margarita Slurpee machines to be the height of technological decadence.
Even more so than the Gin and Tonic pump pot I used at parties in the late 70′s.
Anonymous says:
Did anyone else think this was a steampunk joke at first glance?
Anonymous says:
And I am proud to see an outline of the great state of Texas at the top of the machine. Margaritas for the masses!
Jackasimov says:
Well someone should get it out of there and put it back to work. Am I wrong? Unless it's sitting in the museum cafeteria that looks like a machine that could use a job (in my house).
baccaruda says:
Real margheads know that homebuilt 'rita machines have been around for a lot longer than this article suggests; they've just gotten smaller and, I daresay, they've lost a certain panache in the process. I still fire up Granddad's 1935 Schlosser-Warner he brought over from Germany in the '10s, on special family occasions. It only output 4MPM but for an early homebuilt electric MM kit, that was a luxury back then. We had a close call 8 years ago when one of the vacuum tubes failed, but a buddy of mine who builds & repairs guitar amps saved our butts when he showed me how to link 3 Soviet-built tubes in series to repair it; it had the unintended benefit of boosting output by 1.3 MPM without overheating. I'd been searching for a non-invasive way to increase output for years as our family grew, but anyone who's ever tried can tell you that parts just don't exist for these old Schlossers anymore. I heard about an S-W that popped up in a garage sale in a suburb of Atlanta, rumored to be one of the two experimental machines Coca-Cola discarded when they abandoned their plans to sell canned margaritas (a good thing, if you ask me; I'd hate to see a world full of flaccid mass-produced canned margaritas) but by the time I flew down to check it out, the trail had gone cold. Losing out on that baby still hurts when I think about it.
Jack says:
No need to get it back to work. Leave it as is. It's rare to see 1970s/1980s technology put on a pedestal and respected for what it does outside of kitsch. Respect this machine!
Anonymous says:
Saw the teaser and had to find out if it was the real thing or not. It is! Mariano Martinez owns and operates a chain of Tex-Mex restaurants in Dallas, TX and the surrounding area. They're great restaurants, or at least they were 10 years ago or so, when I lived in Texas. Thanks for the story!

I usually post my WFMWs ("Works for Me Wednesdays") over on my main site, Muses of Megret, but due to the subject matter this time, I felt it had a better home here on Muse Reviews. After all, on Muse Reviews, I am all about blathering on about what we love to use, play with, read, etc. as a family, and toys fits right into that.
This little mini-guide to the best of the best toys in our house will hopefully help you with your Christmas shopping and planning. It's no fun to pick out gifts that turn out disappointing or uninteresting….and that's what this is for! Maybe you'll find that one of these toy suggestions works for you and your family, too!
So, without further adieu, I give you the WFMW "Toys Worth Buying" Edition, hosted by Rocks In My Dryer!
(These are in no particular order, but in parenthesis beside the items, I'll put a suggested age range. If you click on them, the photos of each toy will also lead you to a marketplace where you can buy the item, a variety of online stores we've used and had success with in the past.)
Quercetti's Saxoflute. This may not look like much, but for our kids, this puzzle-like flute contraption is responsible for hours of open-ended, creative play. It's been a regular old flute, but it's also been a makeshift marble chute and Cheerio shooter. G loves this toy SO much, in fact, that it's a known fact that Santa has already added to his sleigh the Super Saxoflute to add to it. You know it has to be good if I see enough potential to buy the "sequel." (toddler/preschool)
Playmobil. This German toy line oftentimes gets shoved aside in lieu of Lego and other playset lines, but let me tell you, this is our favorite. My husband and I have been collecting Playmobil toys since we were in college, storing them away for our future children. It's truly neat to see our kids enjoying these little toys today! The plastic is extremely durable and well-made, and the attention to detail is beyond compare. Playmobil can be found at numerous stores online (as well as their main store site) as well as in most specialty children's shops around the nation. (preschool and up)
You'll notice a common theme here….sometimes oldies are the goodies, and in this case, it's so true. Tupperware's Shape-O has been around since I was a tot, and this toy still stands strong today. It's a shape sorter that both my 2 and 4 year old still pull out and play with…it's virtually indestructable…and easier to maneuver than the balls that completely come apart (this one is hinged in the center with an elastic band). (baby/toddler)
Playskool's "Busy Basics" Busy Ball Popper. My sister-in-law always picks out the most fantastic toys for our kids, and this one was no exception. She uses this toy with the autistic children she works with. It's fun, whimsical, and very interactive. It's another toy that gets pulled out very, very often around here (as well as occasionally enhanced & changed into other creative contraptions by our scientific-minded 4-year-old). When we have other kids over, this toy is usually the hot commodity! (baby/toddler)
Green Toys Recycled Plastic Tea Set. We bought this for our daughter's 2nd birthday this summer, and it's so nice to know it's safe and non-breakable. I wrote a thorough review of this item here, if you care to learn more. This one is definitely worth the money. (toddler/preschool)
Play-Doh. This goes without saying: Play-Doh is one of the best toys for creativity and developing fine motor skills — by far. It's inexpensive, non-toxic, and can be accessorized in countless ways. We buy a lot of it — just because the color picking is the most fun, so there must be lots of them — and also because, within a few months' time, they all somehow mysteriously take on a blended color of brownish-grey. (Hmmm.) It's expendable, though, and a great way to give your kids something to do on a rainy day or when dinner's not quite ready yet. You can't go wrong with this stuff. (toddler/preschool/and up)
The Classic Etch a Sketch. My mom gave G an Etch a Sketch for his birthday, and such a myriad of masterpieces have already graced its screen. It's a toy that's truly timeless and never gets old…and you never get too old for it, either. (The Etch a Sketch in its original, retro packaging can be found at Fat Brain Toys, one of our favorite sites for educational toys & games. (preschool)
Bunnies By the Bay. Everything they make. All of it. Our children have the Blanket Buddies and are completely inseparable from them — have been since infanthood. We have several other items, as well — and I can say that this is one of the cutest companies (and concepts) around. Their website is tres adorable — go see what I mean! I buy Bunnies By the Bay for baby gifts like nobody's business. They're a company I always come back to! (baby/toddler)
Knowledge Adventure's JumpStart series. We got the kindergarten disc for G last year, and let me say, he is still loving this computer-based game. It was several months before we had to decide whether or not we'd pay a little more to add to his game (via online). We did that a couple of months ago, and now he is progressing and mastering even more skills. This series was entirely new to me when I first saw it, but now, I feel comfortable with the way it teaches math, reading, and other conceptual skills. It only bolsters my faith in this product that our local school systems heavily endorse it and use it in the classroom. Five stars for JumpStart! (preschool and up)
Small World Toys' Original Gertie Ball. I used to work in a children's specialty shop, and these balls were an always-stocked item for us. They are made of the most squeezable, pliable material around and are super easy to fill up and refill (a straw is included that adults can use to inflate it). They come in a variety of colors, shapes, and textures. A must-have for an inside ball! (toddler/preschool)
And here's a fun little list of cool and nifty stocking stuffers, too!
- Magic Microphone
- Calico Critters
- Smencils
- Original Slinky
- I Spy Bags
- Grab-a-Bubble
- Bath crayons

For Jordan Staal, the date June 22, 2012, was supposed to be memorable for one reason: It was his wedding day.
Staal was to be married in his hometown of Thunder Bay, Ont., and he would have several of his Pittsburgh Penguins teammates on hand for the big occasion.
Things soon changed, for Staal and the Penguins. And for older brother Eric Staal and the Carolina Hurricanes.
After the nuptials Friday at 1 p.m., there was the reception, where toasts were to be made. But just after dinner, Jordan Staal learned from his agent that his life had changed in another big way the Penguins had traded him to the Canes.
The news had been announced at the NHL Entry Draft at the Consol Energy Center in Pittsburgh. To get Staal, the Canes traded center Brandon Sutter, defensive prospect Brian Dumoulin and the eighth overall pick in the draft to the Pens.
It was an amazing day but an emotional day, Jordan Staal said Saturday. It was some tough news to hear but still very exciting. Even if you know it might be coming, it still was a shock and kind of tough to get it all in.
Staal, who will be an unrestricted free agent after next season, had an inkling something might happen. He confirmed that he turned down a 10-year contract extension offered Thursday by the Pens, putting Pittsburgh general manager Ray Shero in a tight squeeze.
It was a very difficult decision, no question, and I had a really tough time with it, Staal said.
Staal won the 2009 Stanley Cup with the Penguins and had close friends on the team. But he said he realized that if he did agree to a long-term extension, it would end any chance he might have of playing alongside brother Eric in the NHL.
Jordan and Eric, the oldest of the four Staal brothers, always have been close. Theres a third NHL-playing brother, defenseman Marc Staal of the New York Rangers, but Jordan and Eric always appeared to have a tighter bond. A fourth brother, Jared, is the youngest and is in the Canes minor-league system.
I wont lie. Ive wanted to play with him since he broke into the league, Eric Staal said Saturday of Jordan. Hes a great player and a great person, and I knew he could help our team.
Hes 6-4, with reach and size. He can add another weapon to our offense and is underrated in that respect. He can be a difference-maker and hes only 23, with tons of years ahead of him to develop.
At the same time, Eric Staal said it was difficult to see Sutter leave. Staal is the Canes captain and Sutter, who also is 23 and sat to Staals right in the home locker room, was an alternate captain.
Hes a little bummed, Staal said. Weve had a lot of conversations and Im very close with Brandon. I told him yesterday he was like my brother without my blood. Well really miss him.
Just as Jordan Staal will be missed in Pittsburgh.
During a break in the second day of the draft, Penguins coach Dan Bylsma had a hard time expressing what Staal, who was drafted by the Pens and played six seasons in Pittsburgh, had meant to the team and the franchise.
You lose a really good person, you lose a character guy on your team, Bylsma said. Theres certainly the hockey aspects of it. Youre losing a good penalty killer and a very good defensive forward. Youve seen in the last two years, with the absence of Evgeni Malkin and/or Sidney Crosby (to injuries), a guy who stepped up and played a more offensive role.
Its tough to have a conversation and think about not having a Jordan Staal on your team. He did a lot for us.
Eric Staal said he wasnt sure how he and Jordan will be used by Canes coach Kirk Muller. Both are natural centers and have primarily played center in their careers, although Eric did go to the wing for Team Canada in the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver.
Whether hes the No. 1 center and Im No, 2, or the other way, or if Im on the wing, those are the things we can explore as we get ready for the season, Eric Staal said.
The Canes Ron Francis, who had a Hall of Fame career at center, called Jordan Staal a complete player.
Hes big, hes strong, he can play the offensive side, the defensive side, said Francis, who is vice president for hockey operations. He can match up against an offensive line and stop them, he can match up against a defensive line and produce.
Jordan Staal said he did not care if he played the wing on Erics line. He scored 25 goals this past season and likes the idea of getting the chance to be a bigger offensive contributor for the Canes.
Its an opportunity for me to show what I can do offensively, he said. Its a new challenge for me. Im excited to get a lot of wins, make the playoffs and see what we can do.
Eric Staal called his brother a big piece toward getting the Canes back in the playoffs after a three-year absence. General manager Jim Rutherford said the Canes would look to add more pieces.
I think the trade shows a greater sense of urgency by the Hurricanes and sends a message that they believe they can contend, veteran TSN commentator Bob McKenzie said Saturday. Maybe this is the first step towards that.
But Jordan Staal may never have another day quite like Friday. Eric Staal said 11 Pens players were on hand for the wedding.
When you win a Stanley Cup with guys, you develop a bond, Eric Staal said. The little thank-you to the out-of-town guys was tough for Jordan to get through. Its understandable. Theyre dear to his heart.
But they understand what an opportunity this is for Jordan. It was good they were there. A lot of times you get traded, things happen quick and you cant spend that quality time with teammates.
Jordans excited. Hes ready for the new chapter.

Buying a small prime rib
Sorry. forgot to mention that I would rather not travel outside of San Francisco. thanks
re: sharkfin
re: wolfe
re: sharkfin
re: sharkfin
re: sharkfin
A whole prime rib roast has 7 bones and weighs about 17 to 20 lbs. Butchers often divide the whole roast into two parts: 3-bone roast from the small end and 4-bone roast from the larger diameter end for serving size that's more manageable for most customers. Costco sells them this way as well as whole roasts. I'd recommend against anything smaller than a 3-bone roast (weighs about 6 lbs.).
re: Melanie Wong
re: cakebaker
Thanks, that's good to know. I cooked a 3-bone prime grade roast from Costco for Christmas dinner. i dry aged it for 8 days in the fridge, wish I'd had time to keep it longer.
And, I'll explain the reason for recommending against a 2-bone roast. This came from the old-fashioned butcher in my home town. He will cut any size the customer wants but when I asked for 2-bone he tried to talk me out of it. The reason is the sad stories he hears from customers who mess up with the smaller roasts. One needs to be more careful in cooking the smaller size, keep a closer eye on the temperatures with a good meat thermometer, and know how to adjust the recommended cooking times as most instructions are for a different surface:volume ratio. I have done 2-bone roasts myself, as have others in this thread, but add that caution if one is less experienced or has less cooking savvy. The various threads on the Home Cooking board attest to the angst that many have over making a prime rib, and while some can't relate, that's the reality for most people.
re: Melanie Wong
FWIW I reckon that the meat from the smaller end of the cut is rather better to eat. Also, I've had success with a 1 bone cut for two people (about 2lbs.) by searing in a hot pan for about 3 minutes per side and finishing in the oven at 400 for about 15 minutes, rested for a further 5 mins.
re: Robin Joy
re: Robin Joy
re: Civil Bear
re: Robin Joy
You very well could be right. Looking at the photo in the link it would appear the smaller ribs are closer to the middle of the cow (furthest from the hoof). I may need to have a talk with my butcher who talked me out of getting the small end!
re: Civil Bear
We recently had a very tough rib roast that I bought at a great market in Sonoma, CA. Tough to the point that I actually took it back to the store. They were SO nice about it and made no excuses. But he did say to always specifically ask for the small end because it's more tender.
re: Civil Bear
What I like about the nomenclature on this picture is the 5 ribs are called the fore ribs and are actually further from the head,
re: Melanie Wong
I totally agree that a smaller roast is much more likely to be overcooked. I offered that in case anyone really wanted a smaller roast but all your info will no doubt help many who have cooked few if any standing rib roasts. What is the longest you've dry aged it in the fridge? I'm always trying longer and longer.
re: cakebaker
I recently dry aged a 9 pound boneless ribeye roast for 24 days. The caveat is that I'm lucky to have a second refrigerator that can go days without being opened (primary purpose is to store milk, OJ, eggs and other stuff acquired in bulk), which is where I dry aged this toast. I wouldn't dare try to dry age in my primary fridge, as the repeated opening and closing of the doors means the humidity level is too high for me to feel secure about the aging process.
I know someone who has his butcher dry age for 42 days. That's really pushing it IMO.
As for my result, it was a very beefy taste with a firmer, less "waterlogged" texture to the beef. I'm a fan and will certainly do this again whenever the occasion and company allows for it. I'll probably go out to the 30 day mark next time.
re: Melanie Wong
>>"One needs to be more careful in cooking the smaller size, keep a closer eye on the temperatures with a good meat thermometer..."
Which i swhy I never cook any cut thicker than my hand without a probe thermometer. Best $20 I ever spent.
Ive gotten 2 or 3 ribs from Drews for many years, Excellent.
No problem with 2 .
re: celeryroot
re: celeryroot
I have too. They will cut them to size for you.
Drewes Bros. Meats
1706 Church Street
San Francisco, CA 94131
My Safeway had a large selection (Ocean Beach) two days ago but I would presume most of them would have it, and would probably cut cut it for you. It was on holiday sale, so I think they should have them through New Year's.
I also like Guerra Meats on Taraval.
thanks everyone...getting a prime rib was easier than I thought. Walked over to Golden Gate Meat Co. in the Ferry Building.. 3 ribs ..prime

Barack Obama has done something that no other ruler, foreign or domestic, in the past 200-plus years, has been able to do. With the help of a compliant press and the legal support of his Attorney General, he has brought the United States to its knees. He has ramped up the illegal spying on citizens begun by G.W. Bush, funneled weapons to drug cartels in Mexico, illegally used the I.R.S to target political rivals and most likely is complicit in the amateurish cover-up now taking place.
His latest move allows thousands of illegal immigrant children overrun our Southern border in Texas. He is moving these hapless children all over the country. These kids may be processed through military bases, sent off to schools, at your expense, and allowed to spread all manner of disease to you and your kids.
I commend all of you ideologue Democrats that most likely saw what was coming but were just too rigid to pull the lever on the right side of the ballot. You will soon see the equality of Marxism. We will all be equally miserable.

Birthplace of Country Music Grand Opening Weekend of Events
Educators' Day at Birthplace of Country Music MuseumIn preparation for the Grand Opening of the Birthplace of Country Music Museum, BCMM's Education Committee wants to ensure educators in both Virginia and Tennessee view the museum as an important educational resource. BCMM is committed to providing interdisciplinary material and experiences that will help teachers and students achieve their educational goals. In order to do so, BCMM isplanning an Educators' Day on July 22, 2014 and two days of in-services for regional teachers on July 23 and July 24, 2014. These events will offer educators from our region a "sneak peek" at the new museum before its actual grand opening on August 1. It will also offer an opportunity to earn professional development/in-service hours.
EDUCATORS' DAY: July 22, 2014
The Educators' Day program will include brief tours and opportunities for educators to learn more about how the BCMM can assist them in meeting their academic objectives. Volunteers from the BCMM's Educational Committee will lead educators on "sneak peek" tours of the museum and will also provide some information about our educational initiatives, including the kinds of in-services that our Education and Outreach program will make available during the school year. This will be a wonderful opportunity for area teachers and find out what kinds of needs the museum can fill for them. There will be Q&A sessions after the tours.
There will be three sessions on Educator's day: 10 AM to 12 PM, 1 PM to 3 PM, and 3 PM to 5 PM. Teachers who attend one of these sessions will receive a certificate for two hours of professional development. Spaces are limited, so pre-registration is strongly encouraged. Those who pre-register for a session will be guaranteed a seat; others will be given seats on a first-come, first-served basis. Individuals may pre-register by calling Tracey Childress at 423-573-1927.
Teachers can attend any one of the Educators' Day sessions and receive two hours of credit. They can also attend any of the other in-service sessions (listed below) for a more structured and discipline-specific session. The in-depth programs offer 5 hours of credit each.
TEACHER IN-SERVICES: July 23 and 24, 2014
For educators who would like a more in-depth look at how the BCMM can support them in their classrooms, two days' worth of in-service programs will be offered to serve educators in different disciplines, led by experienced professionals with experience in delivering continuing education sessions. These sessions will take into consideration both the Virginia Standards of Learning and the Common Core Curriculum used in Tennessee.
Educators attending these in-service sessions will each receive a certificate for 5 hours of credit. Sessions will begin at 9 AM, with a one-hour break at 12:30 for teachers to have lunch on their own. The sessions will resume at 1:30 and will last until 4 PM. The last segment of the in-service will be a preview tour of the museum, led by the in-service presenter and the BCMM Education Curator. As with the sessions on Educators' Day, space is limited. Teachers who want to be assured of a space for the in-service of their choice are strongly encouraged to pre-register.
Three (3) in-service programs will be offered for teachers to choose from. One program will focus on music history and style; another will connect the material in the Birthplace of Country Museum to critical thinking in the humanities; and a third is a STEM-focused in-service titled The Science of Sound. Music teachers are welcome, but we are also eager to serve others in the arts, humanities, and science.
In-service dates and brief descriptions are as follows:
July 23 9:00-4:00:
Why the Sessions? An Informational Overview of the Bristol Sessions, focusing on music history and styles of music.
Science of Sound: Recording and Radio History in the Classroom
July 24 9:00-4:00:
The Museum as Tool for Teaching Critical Thinking and Humanities Themes
Science of Sound (second date for overflow only if needed)
Birthplace of Country Music Museum is excited about the prospect of working with schools in our area to promote both excellence in education and an awareness of our region's rich cultural and musical heritage. Thank you for considering this opportunity, and we look forward to serving you.
To register for one of the in-services above, please contact Tracey Childress at The Birthplace of Country Music. Her email is email@example.com, and her telephone number is 423-573-1927.
Final Information Session for Docents and VolunteersThe Birthplace of Country Music Museum, opening August 1, 2014, is sending out a call to volunteers and docents to help with a number of activities and duties at the new facility.
The final of two informational sessions will be held tomorrow, Tuesday, July 1 at 12:00pm, to learn more about becoming a volunteer or docent. The session will be held at the museum, located at 520 Birthplace of Country Music Way, Bristol, VA, across from Cumberland Square Park.

BCM Announces Orthophonic Joy: The 1927 Bristol Sessions Revisited
Eddie Stubbs, Rusty Morrell, Marty Stuart, Carl Jackson
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (July 10, 2014) – Tourism and music industry representatives gathered today for a special press conference to officially announce the August 2 grand opening of The Birthplace of Country Music Museum in Bristol, TN/VA and the creation of "Orthophonic Joy: The 1927 Bristol Sessions Revisited."
It was further announced that a national search is underway for a new band to perform the last track on the "Orthophonic Joy" recording project, produced by multi-Grammy Award-winner Carl Jackson.
Famed Opry host Eddie Stubbs emceed the event with special remarks and musical performances by country music celebrity Marty Stuart, as well as The Church Sisters, The Shotgun Rubies, The Chuck Wagon Gang and Carl Jackson. Commissioner Susan Whitaker, Tennessee Department of Tourist Development and Chris Canfield, Virginia Tourism Corporation, also brought remarks. The event was fittingly held at The Country Music Hall of Fame ® and Museum.
This Smithsonian Institution-affiliated Birthplace of Country Music Museum is dedicated to preserve the legacy of the 1927 Bristol Sessions and their lasting influence on American popular music. Johnny Cash referred to the famous Sessions as "The single most important event in the history of country music." Also known as the "Big Bang of Country Music," the legendary recordings by Ralph Peer took country music to a new level and produced pioneers of the genre, such as Jimmie Rodgers and the Carter Family.
Set to be released in October, "Orthophonic Joy: The 1927 Bristol Sessions Revisited," features entertainment legend Dolly Parton, as well as country music stars Vince Gill, Emmylou Harris, Marty Stuart, Steve Martin and the Steep Canyon Rangers and Ashley Monroe. The recording project includes 16 of the original songs from the Bristol Sessions.
The idea to recreate the Bristol Sessions had been discussed within the Birthplace of Country Music organization for years, but the serendipitous connection between board member John Rainero, veteran songwriter Rusty Morrell and producer Carl Jackson helped bring "Orthophonic Joy: The 1927 Bristol Sessions Revisited" to life.
"My dear friend Rusty Morrell approached me with the idea to produce a project honoring the original 1927 Bristol Sessions," Jackson said. "He was very aware and fond of a couple of other multi-artist 'tribute' projects I had produced and felt I was the guy who could bring his vision to life. In my opinion, the importance of those '27 recordings cannot be overstated, and I am truly honored that Rusty asked me to shine a new and loving light on some of those classic works."
In the spirit of Ralph Peer, Jackson and the Birthplace of Country Music organization is launching a nationwide search for a new artist to record the final track on the album. Emerging and independent artists may submit ONE of the following selected Bristol Sessions songs: "The Storms Are On the Ocean," "Darling Cora," "Bury Me Under the Weeping Willow," or "I Am Bound For The Promised Land." Deadline to receive submissions is July 10. Four artists will be selected for Jackson and a panel of judges to review.
"The 1927 Bristol Sessions have often been honored for their impact on the world's music," said Leah Ross, executive director, Birthplace of Country Music. "With the opening of the Museum, the release of 'Orthophonic Joy,' and the nationwide search for new talent, BCM and the team of irreplaceable partners who are part of these endeavors are ensuring the legacy of the 1927 Bristol Sessions lives on for generations to come."
Today's event was hosted by the Birthplace of Country Music, Bristol TN/VA Convention and Visitors Bureau, Tennessee Department of Tourist Development, and Virginia Tourism Corporation.
Joe & Cindy Gregory Gift Building to BCM
Bristol, VA/TN (May 23, 2014) — Birthplace of Country Music, non-profit parent organization of Birthplace of Country Music Museum and Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion music festival, is proud to announce it has acquired the former Automotive Service & Supply Company building, located at 516 Cumberland Street. The funding for the property was gifted to BCM from Joseph R. Gregory and his wife Cindy.
"I think everyone in the community is excited about the impending Birthplace of Country Music Museum opening later this year," said Mr. Gregory. "Cindy and I are glad we could play a pivotal role in securing the adjoining building for the museum's use and see it as a strategic addition to enhance the mission of the organization. We look forward to seeing how this new space expands the presentation of our region's rich history of music and cultural heritage."
The property was purchased from Cecil R. Hopkins, Jr., and his wife Angela. Hopkins' father founded the business in 1935 as a United Motors Service parts franchise.
"I am happy to know the property will be restored and that the community will have a nice facility there," said Hopkins.
According to Bristol, Virginia tax records, the two-story, structure was constructed in 1881. The application form for downtown's inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places indicates it was built circa 1900 and further reveals it was used as a grain, feed, fertilizer and cement warehouse in its early years. Later, the building housed an automobile dealership with the upper level utilized for automobile service by lifting the vehicles on a platform freight elevator that is reported to still be in working order. Hopkins confirms the building was the Bristol Motor Company Buick dealership.
"This building will play a major role in the future growth of Birthplace of Country Music," said Leah Ross, executive director. "We are fortunate to have community leaders like Joe and Cindy Gregory who support and believe in our mission."
Mr. Gregory is president and CEO of Gregory Management Company, LLC, an investment management firm located in Bristol, TN. Mr. Gregory is well known for his dedication to preservation. He purchased and began restoration of the Old Tennessee Post Office and Custom House in Bristol, in 1999. His projects have included serving on the Board of the Bristol Train Station during the period of its restoration and the preservation of the E.W. King building, located on the corner of Shelby & 7th Street. Both of these sights are designated sites on the National Register of Historic Places.

"To know that our event is held in such high esteem among our regional tourism industry is very humbling. It has taken a village to make Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion a success, this award speaks to the hard work and support of many over the past fourteen years."

"It is an honor to be recognized for our work, but it is a privilege to work with such talented people and with such a great event," said Nick Corrigan, Live & Breathing Production Manager. "None of what we do would be possible without everyone who helped us along the way. Everyone's hospitality and the collaboration of Pointer Brand, The Birthplace of Country Music and Live And Breathing is what made the LC King Centennial Sessions a success.

Soon after, PASTE Magazine premiered "PALEFACE: The Making Of One Big Party", a short documentary which follows the band as they record the album and tour. Paleface's music video for the album's tittle-track received airplay through several MTV stations as well as satellite & online outlets (VH1, CMT, MTV). And this Winter, Paleface's Mountain Stage performance aired via 130+ NPR stations nationwide and worldwide via Voice of America Satellite Service, and NPR.com.

He's released over a dozen records including two major label releases, and has been quoted as major influence and inspiration by a wide range of artists including Grammy Award recipient BECK who calls Paleface a big influence on his early work. Paleface has also collaborated and appeared on three albums by The Avett Brothers. At the moment, Paleface is in the process of writing a new album to record later in the year, and in the meantime he's self-released Multibean Bootleg Vol.3, a collection of raw demos, live performances and outtakes.

FORT PIERCE, FL (WFLX) - Thousands of officers from around the state, as well as members of the public, paid their respects to Sgt. Gary Morales Monday. More than 3,000 vehicles were in the funeral procession. UPDATE, MON 4 PM: Family, friends and fellow law enforcement officers remembered a loving man who wanted to help his community in a 90-minute service. Everyone at the funeral, being held at Westside Baptist Church in Fort Pierce, stood as the family entered the church. Port St. Lucie police Lt. Ronald Caudell, who was shot in the leg the same morning that Morales was killed during a traffic stop, walked into the church on crutches. The funeral for Morales will be the biggest ceremony held at Westside Baptist Church, said the church's pastor Dale Ingersoll.
Sunday night, Ingersoll expected about 40 family members at the private viewing, but 175 showed up. Law enforcement officers also filled the church's lobby before Monday's viewing. "I knew his neighbors, and they always talked about his accomplishments. When I heard the news, I was hurt. How could people be so evil?" said Port St. Lucie resident Patricia Santos.

If you have no idea what Travis Sullivan's Bjorkestra is all about, you are not alone. Up until today, I had never heard of this odd musical experiment. Their website describes it as the music of Bjork Gudmundsdottir for large jazz ensemble. As a music fan who enjoys classic jazz and idolizes John Coltrane, I was definitely a bit curious to hear some samples of their tunes. They posted two MP3s that are free to download, including a SICK arrangement of "Army Of Me." They definitely appeal to both jazz fanatics as well as Bjork followers.
The ensemble is an eighteen-piece big band, comprised of some of the finest jazz musicians in New York City. The Bjorkestra has just announced their first ever West Coast tour, performing five nights in California. Don't worry NYC, they haven't forgotten about us, as they have a night at Tonic on August 18. How in the hell are they going to fit in Tonic??
Do yourself a favor and check this group out. There is no better way to chill out during the hot summer than by soaking up some great jazz… especially when it includes the music of Bjork.

Democrats Avoid Tort Reform in Healthcare Debate
The issues many on the left won't touch are defensive medicine and tort reform.
Healthcare town hall protesters bring it up constantly. So do many doctors. Democrats, for the most part, refuse to go near it. The issue is the cost of "defensive medicine"—basically, doctors ordering extra (and arguably unnecessary) tests to protect themselves from costly lawsuits. Data on the exact size of the problem are spotty, but it's big. A recent PricewaterhouseCoopers study estimated that these practices are responsible for up to 10 percent of the country's annual healthcare spending, or some $210 billion.
[See photos of town hall protests.]
President Obama has talked about cutting "wasted" healthcare spending, and $210 billion would help the cause. He suggested as much in a speech to the American Medical Association in June. "I understand some doctors may feel the need to order more tests and treatments to avoid being legally vulnerable," he said. "That's a real issue."
Yet, so far, save for one proposed amendment, there's been little support from Democrats on the topic. The House's healthcare bill won the AMA's support in July, but the group expressed concern over a glaring omission. "Clearly, that bill did not address the unnecessary costs of defensive medicine," AMA President James Rohack said in an earlier interview.
It's possible the issue will get play when Congress comes back from its recess, but even advocates say that's unlikely. "Do I think something's going to happen?" says Troy Tippett, president of the American Association of Neurological Surgeons. "I would be very surprised if it does."
That's partly because of where the political parties stand on related legal matters. Some doctors, especially those in risky specialties, are asking for national caps on how much victims of medical accidents can receive in damages. This is known as tort reform. Supporters say limits on big payouts would ease doctors' worries about costly lawsuits and curb unnecessary tests.
But tort reform is viciously partisan and heavily lobbied. In his AMA speech, Obama argued that "caps on malpractice awards . . . can be unfair to people who've been harmfully wronged." Many Democrats agree, as do the plaintiffs' lawyers who've generously given to Democratic campaigns, including President Obama's. Republicans tend to side with businesses in legal suits and therefore get much less support from the plaintiffs' lawyers.
There's also debate over what these caps achieve. On one hand, there's evidence at the state level showing that they can help resolve doctor shortages. "Southern Illinois was an area where it was well known if you were in a car accident, there was no neurosurgeon in the region to take care of you," says Tiger Joyce, president of the American Tort Reform Association. Thanks to tort reform there, he says, those shortages have eased. But studies also have shown that in many states, tougher tort laws haven't stemmed rising healthcare costs.
So far, tort reform hasn't gotten very far. As Maryland Sen. Ben Cardin recently told a town hall that "tort reform is clearly an issue that may be in the bill." With the angry attendees who wanted a straight answer, that didn't go over too well.

As a massive site based on short bursts of unfiltered commentary, Twitter has become a major test case for the limits of speech on the internet. As we've seen today, that can mean offending community norms with things like pornography; more frequently, it's the result of conflicting ideas about what is legally acceptable. The New Yorker has taken a look at one of the most recent legal scuffles: a French court that's demanding Twitter help identify authors of anti-Semitic tweets that could violate the country's hate speech laws. "Twitter finds itself with the ball, trying to dribble through diverging laws around the world," writes Emily Greenhouse, "to hold onto its philosophical ideals — total, protected freedom of expression — as it holds onto its users and advertisers."

Firefighters featured in 'Wake Up Watauga'
A handful of local firefighters were featured Friday as part of the Boone Area Chamber of Commerce's "Wake Up Watauga," a periodic series that highlights local individuals and issues.
The event, held at the Dan'l Boone Inn and broadcast on WATA, included breakfast for the firefighters, chamber members and community members as well as seasonal safety tips.
Boone Fire Marshal Ronnie Marsh, Boone Fire Chief Jimmy Isaacs and Cove Creek Fire Chief Terry Combs were among those sharing safety reminders on winter heating, Christmas trees and other hazards.
"I think we all take for granted that, at a moment's notice, we might need your services," Town Council member Lynne Mason said.
Chamber president Dan Meyer said they hope to recognize first responders and law enforcement at future "Wake Up Watauga" sessions.
"We just want to acknowledge the public servants," Meyer said.

Hoffman among thousands of addiction victims - 0 Comments
LOS ANGELES — Philip Seymour Hoffman suffered from a chronic medical condition that required ongoing treatment. An admitted drug addict who first sought professional help more than two decades ago, Hoffman apparently succumbed to his illness with an overdose despite a return to rehab last March.

College of Health and Human Development
- Chair: J. Stephen Sinclair
- Monterey Hall (MH) 301
- http://hhd.csun.edu/comdis
- M.S., Communication Disorders and Sciences, Clinical-Rehabilitative Specialist in Hearing, Speech and Language (Speech-Language Pathologist) and Special Day Class Authorization (Aphasic)
The Master of Science graduate programs in Speech-Language Pathology are accredited by the Council on Academic Accreditation (CAA). The Master of Science graduate program in Audiology was accredited until Dec. 31, 2006, after which a doctoral degree became the entry-level degree requirement and therefore admission of new students in Audiology was suspended. The Department is accredited by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing for the Clinical-Rehabilitative Services Credential (Language, Speech and Hearing Services and Audiology) and the Special Class Authorization (Aphasic). The Department is one of the participating programs in the University's accreditation by the National Council on Accreditation in Teacher Education.
The Major
The Communication Disorders and Sciences major involves studies in the disciplines of speech and hearing sciences, audiology and speech- language pathology. The undergraduate program offers an emphasis in either Audiology or Speech-Language Pathology and the graduate program offers an emphasis in Speech-Language Pathology.
The Masters Degree is the professional entry-level requirement for employment as a speech-language pathologist. Completion of the Baccalaureate and Masters Degree programs in Speech-Language Pathology enables students to satisfy the academic requirements for:
- 1. License in all states to practice in medical, rehabilitative or private practice settings;
- 2. Education credentials in all states for employment in public schools;
- 3. Professional certification by the Council for Clinical Certification ASHA.
Due to changes in program accreditation and entry-level professional certification standards that require a doctoral degree after Dec. 31, 2006, no new students presently are admitted to the graduate program in Audiology. Persons considering an undergraduate major and subse- quent doctoral studies in Audiology should consult the Department for academic advisement. The Department's curriculum is conducted through classroom instruction, online instruction and experiential learning, including intensive student participation in the clinical pro- grams of the CSUN Language, Speech and Hearing Center. Advanced graduate students obtain additional clinical experience through place- ment in the Department's affiliated medical centers, professional practices and public schools.
The Department is housed within Monterey Hall, located on the south- eastern corner of the campus. The building is home to the Department's CSUN Language, Speech and Hearing Center with convenient client access to parking on Zelzah Avenue and in a parking lot adjacent to Monterey Hall. The Department's clinical facilities include extensive diagnostic and treatment resources for persons with a wide variety of speech, language, hearing, swallowing and balance disorders, as well as space for teaching and research laboratories in anatomy/physiology, hearing/speech science, phonologic disorders, language development and disorders, neurogenic disorders of communication, auditory elec- trophysiology and a hearing aid dispensary. The Center jointly operates a vestibular and balance disorders lab with the Department of Physical Therapy. The building contains a computer laboratory with open lab time for Department majors and studio space for media production. Students have high-speed Internet access for personal laptop comput- ers throughout the building, including the department's student library. The building houses all of the Department's academic offices for fac- ulty and staff, as well as the business office, records room and materials preparation room of the CSUN Language, Speech and Hearing Center.
Program alumni with graduate degrees find varied career opportunities as speech-language pathologists and audiologists serving the needs of communicatively disabled persons across the life span. Employment opportunities are widely available due to the general population's longer life span and advances in technology and health. Program alumni find employment in California's and the nation's medical centers, skilled nursing and other rehabilitative facilities, community speech and hearing centers, medical offices, public and private schools, and private practices. With approximately 100 graduates annually in the M.S. Degree program in Speech-Language Pathology, the regional and national network of alumni is substantial and growing.
Academic Advisement
Communication Disorders and Sciences majors at both the under- graduate and graduate levels are assigned a faculty advisor. Department majors are required to meet with their academic advisors at least once each term for academic advisement prior to course registration. More frequent contact between student and advisor is encouraged. Prospective and new students at both the undergraduate and graduate levels should attend an orientation meeting as soon as possible for basic information on the fields of speech-language pathology and audiol- ogy, and assistance in formulating academic and career plans. These informal orientation meetings are held monthly. The schedule of orien- tation meetings (times, dates and places) is posted on the Department's homepage or individuals may contact the Department for times, dates and meeting places.
An advisor also should be consulted regarding fulfillment of related course work for professional licensure and certification requirements, which may include courses involving biology, human anatomy and physiology, the exceptional child, growth and development of children, reading instruction, psychology, physics, mathematics and others.
The Speech Language Pathology advisors are Edward P.Hall, Catherine A. Jackson, Karen Kochis-Jennings, Patricia J. Seymour, Christine Strike-Roussos, Elizabeth G. Weber and Janice Woolsey. The Audiology advisors are J. Stephen Sinclair, Karen Spayd and Andrew Vermiglio. Drs. Vermiglio and Spayd also advise undergraduate majors in Speech- Language Pathology. Drs. Sinclair and Hall will assist post-baccalaureate students in the Pre-Communication Disorders and Sciences program and in open University status in course planning each term. Consult the Department website for assignment to a specific advisor.
Consumer Complaints
Consumer complaints regarding the accreditation of the graduate pro- gram in Speech-Language Pathology may be addressed to the Council on Academic Accreditation of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA), (800) 498-2071.
Distance Learning Program
The Department offers the Master of Science degree with emphasis in Speech-Language Pathology in a distance learning (DL) program that is administered jointly with the CSUN Tseng College. The pur- pose of this program is to serve graduate students in Speech-Language Pathology who are unable to relocate close enough to travel regularly to the CSUN campus. Qualified graduate students are admitted to this program in cohorts (groups) every 12 months; cohort students take no courses on the residential campus. Students are not permitted to transfer between the residential program and the distance learning program. The DL courses are taught asynchronously with the regular University calendar, with students taking the entire course of study (57 units) as a cohort over a 36-month period. Courses are delivered to the homes and workplaces of DL students via Internet and all clini- cal practica are completed in the DL students' home communities. The DL program charges tuition that reflects the cost of instruction. The M.S. Degree in the DL program ultimately reflects the same prerequisite and requisite content as the residential degreeand the DL program meets CAA-ASHA certification and state licensure standards. For further information on the DL program, visit http://tsengcollege. csun.edu/cds.

New Haven rest stop?
I live in Mass. and travel to and from New York. Recently, I changed my route from 90/84 to Interstate 95. I will only miss Rein's deli but am looking for a similar stopping place along Route 95. Is there anything in or near New Haven right off the highway that is fast, cheap and delicious?
I can't remember the name of the place but in Branford, CT there is a sandwich shop on main street that is great for picking up something to go. Get off at exit 55 and head west. When you get to the fork where there is a gas station in the middle of the fork, take a left which will go by the high school. Road curves to the left and right after the light on the left side you should see the place. They make all sorts of sandwiches to sooth the hungry beast of traveling.

February 7th , 2012:
Headline: Memphis invited to the Big East
Temple Reaction: WhAT? We are TEMPLE, the Philadelphia Market is so important it should be double represented in the Big East. Who cares anyway the Big East needs us more than we need them, we were just trying to save them from being the C-USA… (that we said we wanted to join instead of the MAC, and of course now we may leave the MAC for the new weak C-USA, because why go to Cleveland (yuck) and Chicago (bleh) when we can go to Hattiesburg and El Paso)
February 5th 2012:
Headline: New York Giants World Champions
Temple Reaction: Are you kidding me, have you seen Bernard Pierce run? WE beat Maryland, yes the Maryland of a little football conference known as the ACC. We should be World Champs. Philadelphia, is way more important than New York City. #4 Media market that's three more than #1!
November 1st, 2011:
Headline: Ohio Defeats Temple, Controls Destiny in MAC East:
Temple Reaction: Hosed in Ohio. The hick refs from the hick conference wanted to keep us down because we are the all mighty Philadelphia. The refs were paid by Villanova, as the Wildcats are jealous of our superior Philadelphianess.
November 4th, 2008:
Headline: Barrack Obama becomes first Black President of the United States.
Temple Reaction: He only won because hick polling officials in OHIO screwed us over, it should have been Temple '08.
September 13th, 2008:
Headline: Willy's last-second 35 yard touchdown pass carries Buffalo
Temple Reaction: That Hail Mary was created by the MAC to keep Temple down. See they wanted us to lose because we were going to win the MAC and leave to the Big East in a blaze of glory. But the MAC wants us here to use our precious Philadelphia market. Why do we even have to play 4 quarters against these sorry teams…we should give them a half at best…and at halftime we were winning 21-14…game over Temple wins.
July 4th, 1776
Headline: Continental Congress Signs Declaration of Independence
Temple Reaction: The biggest event in the history of the Colonies belongs in Philadelphia. But how did Temple not get an invite to the Congress? Saint Augustine's Church blocked us again no doubt. Does the Congress really think Britain will take them seriously without the TU and the Owl stamped on that paper? We bring in more football revenue than John Hancock. I'm just trying to help the Colonies…there is a war coming, and once it starts, if they think Temple is going to be around to help them they are wrong.

A tornado seems to have hit the State Climatologist's Office.
For more than a decade, UGA professor David Stooksbury has also served as Georgia's state climatologist. He and assistant Pam Knox have been the go-to guys for all things weather--drought, rainfall, El Nino, La Nina, tornadoes, climate change.
They kept massive amounts of data on their website, with links to NOAA sources and other valuable sites for everyone interested in weather, from folks planning to plant to folks planning a picnic.
Late last week, Gov. Nathan Deal replaced the Dynamic Weather Duo with men from the Georgia Environmental Protection Division. On Sunday, Stooksbury said with a smile that he had learned more about what transpired from an article in the AJC than he did from the governor's office. His replacement, he said, "was a solid professional."
Tom Crawford, who writes a news page about Georgia politics, reports on the removal.
