FreeVimager is a simple tool for viewing photos and video and hearing music. The program is functional, but isn't anything spectacular.
We were pleased with FreeVimager's intuitive interface. Within no time we were opening our photos and utilizing the program's simple editing tools. Focusing mostly on resizing and adjusting the color composition, the program didn't let us add filters or anything fancy, but we actually liked how that kept things focused and simple. However, we didn't agree with the program description's boast that it was smaller than its competition. Frankly its size, just like … Read more

Comments about PBS NOVA: The Great Robot Race DVD:
I use this as an intro to my Robotics unit in my classroom. We start off using Carnegie Mellon's "RobotC" curriculum (Go TEAM RED!), so there is a great connection to what happens in the video and what will happen in class.
Comments about PBS NOVA: The Great Robot Race DVD:
I have used this DVD in my classroom for years and the students never tire of it! It's gripping story telling belies the fact that it covers the key areas of technology development (even getting back up from failure). Many of the key players are still in the industry so an add-on "where are they now" assignment demonstrates just how far we've come from this challenge.

Dust and other harsh elements that get into the air intake can damage the pistons, valves, and other engine components. Thanks to your Mitsubishi Outlander air filter, unwanted properties are screened out to keep air that streams into the intake manifold free from dirt. After some time, the air filter may get plugged that it fails to screen out as much gunk as it should—this will cause trouble for ignition and combustion.
You cannot help but notice a dip in car performance when you drive with a busted air filter. Fuel mileage and power generation will suffer because of restrictive intake of air, requiring the engine to burn more fuel and to work much harder. Change the air filter when needed to ensure efficient ignition and combustion as well as prevent engine parts from getting damaged. Make sure that the replacement unit is a flush fit to your car for stress-free setup and impressive filtration capacity that will save your car from serious problems.
Our site is your dependable source of premium-grade Mitsubishi Outlander air filter choices made by well-known aftermarket labels. What makes Parts Train your dependable source of automotive accessories and parts is the winning deals we offer that include our low price guarantee, on-time delivery, 24-hour customer care, and convenient payment schemes.

text: This recipe is a little less involved than a normal Pavlova because it is just one layer and it's so easy to make. Meringue and sweetened vanilla cream are a joy when eaten together on their own, but once sprinkled with lovely seasonal fruit it becomes a perfect combination! Feel free to substitute the fruit with wild strawberries or blueberries or any mixture of soft fruit that you fancy. With a sprinkling of hazelnuts and a caramel that sets hard on top, this is definitely naughty but nice! And as far as kids are concerned, you could probably up the fruit to get the good stuff into them if you want to.

Justin Bieber is full of surprises. On the heels of his recent breakup with Selena Gomez and a headline-making marijuana controversy, the 18-year-old singer showed off his bare butt in an Instagram picture Saturday, Jan. 19.
PHOTOS: Celebrities with Bieber fever
Wear a black tank top, a baseball hat and aviator sunglasses, the "Beauty and the Beat" singer peers over his shoulder in the image. Bieber deleted the image shortly after it was posted to his official account, though it had already been liked more than 15,000 times and received more than 2,700 comments.
PHOTOS: Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez, the way they were
Bieber's manager, Scooter Braun, joked about the picture via Twitter. "As a prankster you have to respect another good prank," he wrote. "Only makes sense. #crackdealer." Bieber's succinct reply: "Haha."

The Canadian pop star is currently on tour to support his latest album, Believe. He next performs at the Greensboro Coliseum Complex in Greensboro, North Carolina, on Jan. 19. He'll travel to Georgia and Florida throughout the month before taking his act to Dublin, Ireland, Feb. 17.

4.00 rating Great High Chair by Barbara on April 30, 2013
We have put the high chair together and think it will work great. The only negative to this high chair is that it says it folds for easy storage. The legs fold fine, but the high chair is very bulky and will take way to much room to store. It would take up most of your closet space. We are disappointed with not being able to easily store this high chair. If you don't need to store the high chair then it is great. |

How destructive to the U.S. economy would a Barack Obama presidency be?
An exclusive Newsmax analysis warns: There could be a very rough time ahead.
Beneath Obama's flowery rhetoric lies a dangerous economic plan that will wreak havoc on the American economy.
Obama plans to return to the failed policies of high taxation coupled with an expansion of government spending.
Worse, Obama says he is absolutely committed to almost doubling the capital gains rate — something he will easily accomplish with a Democrat Congress.
In the coming months — when investors realize that Obama will raise the cap gains rate — there could be a stampede of asset sales as investors rush to take their profits now to avoid Obama's doubling of the tax rates next year.
All of these issues and more are explored in Newsmax magazine's special report "Obamanomics — the Coming Tax-and-Spend Nightmare," by Wall Street Journal columnist John Fund.
This Newsmax magazine special report gives Americans the first in-depth look at the Democratic presidential candidate's likely strategies — and how they will affect not just the larger economy, but your personal wealth as well.
Indeed, Obama makes no bones about his plans to go on a tax rampage. Not only would he increase the capital-gains tax rate from 15 percent to as much as 28 percent, he wants to allow the 2001 and 2003 Bush tax cuts to expire in 2010, which effectively raises taxes on Americans by tens of billions of dollars.
He also wants to do away with the $102,000 FICA payroll tax cap, which means anyone making over $102,000 would pay an additional 7 percent in taxes on earned income.
And the loan dividend tax rate George Bush implemented? Under President Obama it will be DOA!
If you are concerned about your wealth and family's financial well-being — and that the American economy remains strong — you must read this special report and share it with friends and family.
The new edition of Newsmax magazine is also hitting newsstands across the country, including many Barnes & Noble, Hastings, Follett, B.Dalton, Books-A-Million, Joseph Beth and other major bookstores, as well as Publix, Meijer, Kroger's, Wegman's, and Harris Teeter supermarkets, Hudson News and Host airport newsstands, and Sam's Club stores.
This wide-ranging Newsmax report explores:
This edition of Newsmax magazine is not to be missed.
In addition to hard-hitting investigative reports and special commentary from Dick Morris, John Stossel, Bill O'Reilly, Christopher Ruddy, David Limbaugh, Dr. Laura Schlessinger, Ed Koch, James Hirsen and others, you get much more in Newsmax magazine, including:
PLUS: Ronald Kessler's Washington
Again, there is so much more in Newsmax magazine, which won a Silver Eddie Award in the News/Commentary category of Folio magazine's prestigious journalism awards, the Eddies.
Find out why more than half a million people read Newsmax magazine each month.

It's been quite a busy year for Mexican actress Fernanda Romero. Between her roles in the bilingual television show RPM Miami on Mun2, shooting the movie Without Men alongside Eva Longoria, and starring in the second season of Spanish clothing brand Mango's web series, I've no idea how she finds any free time!
We received these beautiful new images of Fernanda and her co-star Agim Kaba during the Mango shoot which wrapped this morning.
Romero plays the lead character named Taylor, a sexy agent who represents high power clients while looking fabulous in her Mango gear. If these pictures are any indication as to what we can expect between the Latina powerhouse and sexy Agiva, the servers will have a hard time keeping up with all the traffic!
What a lucky girl, she always get's to hook up with hot boys!!
This first-of-its-kind type of promotion for a fashion brand, is set to debut it's second season this fall.
In the meantime, you can catch all new episodes of RPM Miami Sunday nights on Mun2.

Here's an interesting article I just read. FLOPS, MIPS, Watts and the Human Brain » Doctor Recommended I can't believe how powerful the human brain is. No wonder there aren't any anime style android or humanoid robots yet. Even with the fastest supercomputer today, there isn't any anything fast enough to process imagery recognition that our eye cans do on the fly, let alone simulate the entire human sensory groups. The more I read about this, the more I have to wonder if we really came to exist through series of changes. I mean if you look at it from an engineer point of view, evolution seems pretty simplistic and doesn't account for any other branch of science aside from biology. I think intelligent design explains our existence better than evolution. Anyway I came across this article while trying to find out how many flops a ps2 can handle. PS: some interesting facts. * In the Star Trek fictional universe, circa 2364, the android Data was constructed with an initial linear computational speed rated at 60 trillion operations per second, or 60 TIPS (and thereby, potentially 'dating' the series Star Trek: The Next Generation in which he appears); however, he was later able to infinitely exceed this limit by modifying his hardware and software. * In the movie Terminator III, Skynet is said to be operating at "60 teraflops per second," a nonsensical misuse of the term.
the brain is massively parallel but i believe in terms of speed, the mechanisms individually are slow.
Go figure... But i honestly doubt people can get such readings like that... how the hell are you gonna measure it?!!
the brain is technology, just biological ive always been told the brain is infinately faster than any computer, altho we cant perform certain calculations so fast, we process millions of images and sound samples per second, not to mention maintain an entire body of systems, then we have thought processing on top of that, the brain is extremely powerful.
I know, and its just funny how they are comparing various cpu chips, then with the x360 stuff, then with video cards... Its just a weird reference to the flops thing, seems that they are just throwing a bunch of numbers in there
well they are giving estimated processing speeds to each of the chips, provides a good comparison of modern technology compared to the human brain
Ok lets just say your brain is so powerful it is able to handle 10,000 programs, although the power of our brain is not measurable. In basic terms, its really complex and fast at working. Although this varies from the bright to the not so bright
Assumption: The universe is too complicated for it to have simple and explainable roots. Deduction: Therefore an omnipotent, all powerful being with macro cosmical and infinite powers exists and created everything. Yeah right, perfectly logical,no? Keep the intelligent design talk on the open discussion forum. (Well yeah, I'm the only one actually paying attention to this but still ) As an AI researcher myself I have been studying computational theory of the mind for years now, and I understand best the terrible complexity the human brain posseses However, I am also of the belief that there will be a day when our intellectual and technological sons will be able to surpass us. True, the processing capabilities of the brain are ridiciously enormous, however we are slowly getting there. Artificial Life, Evolutionary Computation, Multi Agent systems, all of them are system with very basic and simple principles, that nonetheless show the power of the synergy of a myriad of little systems and processes working together. If we could compare the power of a neuron to a small cluster of neurons and synapses, and the whole brain as a global grid of programs and computers working together for specialized tasks the comparison doesn't seem that far-fetched anymore. For anyone who has seen the complexity that an Artificial Life based environment can reach when you divide the processing needs of each agent cluster in a different processor it should be easy to see. On another hand it seems a little unfair to me that they are using generic purpose devices in a comparison test against such a high specialized organ as the brain.

Top-5 Tight-Ends In The NFL
Still, the multidimensional tight-end who can contribute to the passing game and who can also hold his own blocking a tough linebacker is invaluable. That is why Antonio Gates is by far the number one tight-end in the league on the list of the top tight-ends currently playing according to BOLTHYPE:
1. Antonio Gates
A top-ranking for Gates is no-brainer in my opinion. But despite his size, speed, and agility that are second to none, there are some reasons to at least question Gates number-one ranking. The injuries that have plagued the Chargers tight-end over the last few seasons have definitely hurt the team at times. Gates is a game-changer who forces a defense to adjust to his presence. When he is out of the game, the Chargers are a different offense. But at this point in his career, a healthy Gates is still in his prime. No one can compare to his ability to make a big play in the passing game, and the 260-pounder can hold his own when forced to block- a task that does not happen all that often.
2. Jason Witten
The player closest to Gates, in this writer's opinion, is the Cowboys Jason Witten. His overall contribution to the Cowboys' offense is irreplaceable, and his 1000-yards receiving in three of the last four seasons is currently unmatched by any other tight-end in the league.
3. Dallas Clark
Clark had a tough season in 2010, playing in only six-games due to injury, but that one season does not diminish Clark's importance to the Colts' offense. In 2009 Clark had 100 catches for over 1000-yards. His ability to hang on to the ball and gain tough yards has made him QB Peyton Manning's favorite target, and the team felt his loss last season, especially around the end-zone.
4. Vernon Davis
After years of carrying around the "potential" label, Davis has had two stellar seasons for a very sorry offense. He has had back-to-back years with over 900-yards receiving, and last season he was second in the league among tight-ends with 15 catches for over 20-yards (behind only Gates). As long as he doesn't revert back to his tumultuous past, and the 49ers eventually find some consistency at quarterback, the best may be yet to come for Davis.
5. Tony Gonzalez
His stats have been declining since 2008, but his 70 receptions last year still ranked 4th in the league in that category. I was tempted to move him outside of the top five on this list, but I could not find another player that I had more trust in than the veteran Gonzalez.
As the passing game continues to rule the NFL gridiron, the pass-catching tight-end will continue to grow in importance. And as the spotlight shines on the position, these guys prove to be the cream of the crop.
Do you have a different opinion? Who would you rank as the top tight-ends in the NFL? Sound off below and let us know!

House Speaker John Boehner has spent much of his speakership placating tea party conservatives. Now, he should worry more about the 23 mainstream Republicans who hate debt-ceiling brinkmanship and government shutdown. They could join with Democrats to oust Boehner.
Jonathan Ernst/Reuters
Arlington, Va.
The word in Washington this morning is that House Speaker Boehner has a deal in the works to temporarily raise the debt ceiling limit. This is good news, as it would avoid default. But it won't eliminate the debate over spending and Obamacare that will surround budget negotiations. And there's still no guarantee the tea party members of Mr. Boehner's party will agree to support this deal, putting him right back in the position he is in now – reluctant to bring a bill to the House floor without the majority support of his party.
Boehner has spent much of his speakership worried about placating tea party conservatives. But if he again bows to their demands over a short-term debt-ceiling extension, he should be more worried about those in his caucus who hate this shutdown and the debt-ceiling brinkmanship. There are at least 23 of them – "reasonable Republicans" who could join with Democrats to occupy a powerful middle ground – and even oust Boehner as speaker.
Removing a speaker has actually never been done before, but neither has America seen this level of rancorous/reckless obstructionist politics exerted by the tea party to the threat of the entire government – and even the economy. Desperate times may just call for desperate measures.

NASA Physicist to Talk Nanotech in Space at UALR
This will be very cool, and perhaps have more possible Arkansas implications than people realize. From UALR:
NASA Physicist to Give Talk at UALR
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — NASA scientist Dr. Sheila Bailey, an expert in space photovoltaics, will give a seminar Friday, Feb. 1, on how the agency is looking to use innovations in nanotechnology to improve space flight.
The seminar, from 3-4 p.m. in the Student Services Center auditorium, is sponsored by the Arkansas GREEN Research Center, Arkansas Space Grant Consortium, and the UALR College of Science.
Bailey serves as member of technical advisory committee for GREEN Research Center, which is funded by the NSF EPSCoR program and the Arkansas Science & Technology Authority. The center, with five institutional partners including UALR, is committed to developing the next generation solar cells by using nanomaterials and nanotechnology. UALR physics professor Dr. Jingbiao Cui is the center's director.
Bailey, a senior physicist at the NASA Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, has studied nanomaterials and their possible application in space solar cells. An associate faculty member of the International Space University, Bailey has authored or co-authored more than 165 journal and conference publications and 13 book chapters.
She earned a bachelor's degree in physics from Duke University, a master's degree in physics from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and a doctorate in condensed matter physics from the University of Manchester in England.
Time permitting, Bailey will give a presentation about the types of jobs at NASA for scientists and engineers.
UA's Ozark Integrated Circuits Gets NSF Funded
Now, up to NWA where a Genesis Technology Incubator startup is on the move. From the UA:
National Science Foundation Awards Innovation Grant to Local Business
U of A-affiliated start-up to develop sensors for extreme sites
Follow University of Arkansas research on Twitter @UArkResearch
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – The National Science Foundation has awarded a nearly $150,000 grant to Ozark Integrated Circuits to investigate the feasibility of utilizing silicon-carbide-based electronics to operate in extreme conditions such as those found in nuclear reactors, jet engines or spacecraft.
Ozark Integrated Circuits Inc., a Genesis Technology Incubator client at the University of Arkansas, is addressing one of the key problems in high-temperature electronics: high-voltage isolation.
"In high-temperature, high-voltage electronics, there aren't efficient ways to isolate signals," said Matt Francis, president and chief executive officer of the start-up company at the Arkansas Research and Technology Park in Fayetteville. "If your circuit is running extremely hot there is too much noise, which disrupts the signals. Integrated circuit technology is well suited to extreme environments. That's our specialty. We make a custom circuit for a custom application."
Francis is also a research associate in the College of Engineering. He holds bachelor's degrees in engineering and physics and master's and doctoral degrees in electrical engineering, all from the U of A.
Employing a photographic process on a microscopic level, Ozark Integrated Circuits is developing optoelectronic isolation techniques that can be integrated into silicon carbide sensors. Optoelectronics are electronic devices that source, detect and control the use of visible light, or in this case, invisible forms of radiation such as gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet and infrared.
Jim Holmes, integrated circuit technologist for the company, said the circuits are made in layers in a microscopic process.
"We use computer-aided design to make sure that our designs are correct," Holmes said. "We have invested considerable sweat equity in our tooling capability to make sure that our circuits are right before we send the design to the fabrication facility."
Silicon carbide electronics represent the next generation for high-temperature, high-voltage electronics capable of operating at conditions beyond 572 degrees Fahrenheit. Extreme environments also include sites where electrical components face either extremely low temperatures — down to minus 193 degrees Fahrenheit — or intense radiation such as is found in space or nuclear reactors.
"As these spacecraft are flying through space, over time there's an accumulation of ionizing radiation that can damage the circuit if it is not properly shielded or designed to withstand the abuse," he said. "It's like getting too many X-rays. After awhile your body just can't take it. In the same way, a circuit can slowly go bad and then fail. Another kind of problem is a spurious event from a high-energy particle. When the particle hits the circuit it creates a spike of electric current that can cause the circuit to seize. This kind of problem can be overcome by a system reset, but can be catastrophic if it happens during a critical part of a mission.
"We are designing circuits well beyond military requirements so that they continue operate in conditions at more than 400 degrees Fahrenheit and as cold as liquid nitrogen [minus 346 degrees] or liquid helium [minus 452]."
The National Science Foundation Phase I grant came through the Small Business Innovation Research Program, which allows federal agencies to stimulate technological innovation in the private sector by strengthening small businesses that meet federal research and development needs. The program also is intended to increase the commercial application of federally supported research results.
"This grant ensures that Ozark Integrated Circuits will remain on the cutting edge of high-temperature electronics and the work being done there is indicative of the dynamic research environment at the Arkansas Research and Technology Park," said Phil Stafford, president of the University of Arkansas Technology Development Foundation, which manages the park.
In 2011, the same year it was founded, Ozark Integrated Circuits received a nearly $125,000 grant from NASA, also through the Small Business Innovation Research Program. That award was specifically for communications circuitry in space environments.

The most Irish island in the world
The residents of Newfoundland don't like being called 'Newfies' or Canadians, but you can call them Irish. And the town of Tilting, on its little-brother island of Fogo, is 'Irish on the rocks'
Newfoundland is not Canada, as the people there never tire of telling you. "Canada", in this context, is not just a euphemism for "boring", "law-abiding" or "flat", the island only voted to join the confederation of provinces in 1948, and that vote was split 51 to 49 per cent – a cause of some abiding bitterness among the baymen, the former fishermen who live along these rocky shores.
Greg Malone, who wrote Don't Tell the Newfoundlanders: The True Story of Canada's Confederation with Canada, says people have brought the book into cemeteries to read aloud over their parents' graves, to tell them they were right all along.
Newfoundland was tactically vital to the allies, and its fate a matter of international agreement, so never mind the vote, Malone argues the island's independence was effectively "sold" to Canada in return for the cancellation of Britain's debt after the second World War.
Others do not remember the pre-confederation days with great warmth, however, recalling a time when the fishermen of the bays were hopelessly indentured to merchants in the capital, St John's. Debt, payment and colonial plunder are recurring themes.
The first financial crisis was in 1933, when the island had to dissolve its parliament in return for a bailout from Britain. Some of these debts were incurred during the first World War, when Newfoundland, a dominion of the British empire, was proud to send soldiers to the trenches. The questions of what they got in return for that pride and what they lost are still live in Newfoundland. You could say that what they got was ridicule (the "Newfie" joke is the "Paddy Irishman" joke of Canada) and what they lost – you have only to look to sea to remember it – was the cod.
We ate all the cod, or nearly all of them. Vast shoals of fish, five feet long. Cod as big as a grown child. From the 1620s on, the Portuguese, the English, the "Spainyards" as one man calls them, with their factory ships, the Japanese and, yes, also the Newfoundlanders themselves hauled them out of the ocean. But if you look at the sweet-seeming villages of small wooden houses that cluster along the shore, it is clear that, whoever made all the money, it wasn't the men who risked their lives on the high seas. In 1992, a moratorium was called on cod fishing and those modest wooden houses started to empty and fall – in a way that is almost picturesque – back into the water.
Many of these redundant fishermen had names like Doyle, or Walsh, or Ryan – some of them descendants of men who worked the Grand Bank, centuries before. When boats set out from the West Country of England, they stopped along the south coast of Ireland to take on extra crew – and some of these Irishmen jumped ship on the other side, and stayed.
'It looks like Canada to me'
So you can't call them "Newfies", and you can't call them Canadians, but they will let you call them Irish – unless their ancestors came from Devon, but those ones are easy to spot because they talk like people from Devon. The Irish talk like they came from Dungarvan. Their accents were preserved by the salt Atlantic air, in tiny isolated communities along the shore. It was a long time before they got roads.

Vera Lynn
Vera Lynn
The mere mention of Vera Lynn's name evokes images of London skies filled with barrage balloons, and Britons riding out the German blitz in shelters and underground stations. England's sweetheart during the trying times of World War II, Lynn was still in her twenties when she took on that role. She was born Vera Margaret Welch in London's East Ham, to Bertram and Annie Welch, one year before the close of the First World War. She began singing as a girl of seven, also studying dance as a child. She later took her maternal grandmother's maiden name as her stage name, and her natural, unaffected vocal style and charm brought Lynn early success on the radio. At age 18, she was singing with Joe Loss' orchestra, nd she'd also begun recording for the Crown label. By the end of the 1930s, after stints working for Charlie Kunz's and Bert Ambrose's bands, Lynn got her own radio series. This event coincided with the end of what was known as the "Phony War," that period in which men were being conscripted and sent overseas, rearmament rushed, and nightly blackouts imposed, but no shots fired or bombs dropped. The shooting war started in 1940, and it was around that same time that Lynn became the host of the BBC radio program Sincerely Yours; the show became incredibly popular with overseas servicemen who missed their girlfriends, and her regular songs included such hopeful/heartsick ballads as "White Cliffs of Dover," "We'll Meet Again," "Wishing," and "Yours," which were taken to heart by the British public. Her recordings -- now done for Decca Records, which had absorbed the Crown label some years before -- all sold well, and Lynn also made several films during the war years, appeared in a stage revue, and sang for troops in Asia. Her sentimental brand of pop music was regarded as a huge help to morale, and Lynn herself virtually a national treasure.

It's been well over a year since I first talked publicly about Pandora for Windows Mobile. After a number of false starts and broken promises on my part, I'm happy to report that we've now released our first Windows Mobile implementations of Pandora.
Today we're rolling out Pandora for the HTC XV6900 on Verizon, the HTC Touch on Sprint, and the Motorola Q9C on both Sprint and Verizon. These are free to download and are supported solely through advertising. The entire Pandora experience you've come to expect on the web is available on your Windows Mobile phone: create stations, listen, give feedback, QuickMix, etc.
In cooperation with AT&T we are also launching Pandora support for three additional Windows Mobile phones: the Samsung Epix, the LG Incite, and HTC Fuze. AT&T has decided to make these versions of Pandora available on a monthly subscription basis.
To get started with Pandora on your HTC Touch, HTC XV6900, Motorola Q9C, LG Incite, HTC Fuze, or Samsung Epix simply visit http://www.pandora.com using Mobile Internet Explorer on your smartphone and follow the installation instructions.
We're continuing the work required to bring Pandora to a broader range of Windows Mobile handsets. Keep your eye on this blog and this page for updates on new handsets.
For those of you that have been keeping an eye on this since I first talked about it so long ago, thanks again for your patience. Enjoy!

Chicago Apple Store Change…
Dear Chicagoans -
I've been looking forward to the Apple store talk this coming Tuesday in the windy city. Unfortunately, for personal reasons I have be in California on Tuesday. I will be ably replaced by Tom Conrad, our CTO. Tom runs engineering at Pandora, so he's ultimately the wizard behind the application. I dare you to stump him with technical questions. He's been with us from the very beginning of Pandora, so he'll also talk about our history and where Pandora is heading.
Sorry I can't make it, but I'm already talking with the store about coming in the new year. In the meantime, I encourage you to drop by to meet with Tom. You'll enjoy his talk. He's much smarter than I am…
Cheers. Tim (Founder)

Country Songwriting :: The Musicology Show :: Vol. 40
<!– –>
From the lonesome lakes of Wisconsin to California's fields and orchards, JJ Schultz has been traveling and writing country-folk ballads. As we hear here, one of the main tensions in classic country songwriting is the balance between sweet, major-key melodies and melancholy words. It's a tradition of songcraft that places value on specific imagery, concrete visual descriptions, and identifiable situations. Those lyrical scenes are key. This episode explores the tradition, and extols the virtues of great songwriters like Townes Van Zandt, Kenny Rogers and Willie Nelson. (12 mins.)
That link above is to JJ's site, but this one is to his Pandora artist profile.
The Musicology Show: Country Songwriting
When he's not here working at Pandora's headquarters, you might find JJ Schultz hosting a great weekly open mic night at Hotel Utah in San Francisco. You might also find him with pen in hand working on new songs. His three albums of original songs range from folk to country to other strains of Wisconsin-bred Americana. Today, however, we focus on that country music. We get into classic country songwriting, looking at how major-key melodies mix with sad lyrics to establish a setting for those vivid, very specific images.
Thanks for listening,
A Sad Day
This is a very sad day for Pandora, and for me personally. Today we reduced our staff from 140 to 120 employees. Like virtually every company, Pandora is not immune to the challenges presented by the current economic turmoil. We are trying to react quickly and responsibly to the new environment.
We cherish our employees. We have painstakingly built a team that I am tremendously proud of – there's not a person in our company who hasn't contributed substantially to what we do, and who we are. The twenty folks we let go today were no exception.
I started this company nine years ago. I lived through some very tough times back in 2001-2002. But letting go of an employee will, for me at least, always be the most gut-wrenching thing there is. We tried our best today to treat these friends and colleagues with great understanding, and with as much financial support for their transition as we can afford.
There are tough times ahead for the economy, but our listenership is growing rapidly, the Internet radio royalty rate resolution seems finally near, and the explosion of mobile devices like the iPhone are opening up a world of opportunity for internet radio to expand off the desktop. Moreover, our ad sales are growing so well that, not only did we not make any reductions there, we need to continue to hire more.
It's just hard to be excited about all that today.

Apparently in this one, I learned that depending on the shape you see someone's eyes in, it measures compatibility. Ovals = good. Squares = bad. Triangles, as mine were with someone = not as good as ovals, but likely to be far more solid.
Madness? Or am I seeing the unknown secrets of the universe? You decide!
