Connecticut wholesaler helps talented homeowner install his own radiant systemFrom the October 2009 issue of The Wholesaler. In an e-mail to Taco late last year, Steve Taber introduced himself by writing this message: "Just wanted to let you guys know that I am on my fourth year in my new home that I built myself. I have four rmbs [radiant mixing blocks] running my radiant heat. They work perfectly. I installed and plumbed the complete system myself. They run very quiet. In my opinion the Taco rmb is the defacto choice for any residential radiant installation. Thank you."...MORE Click here or on the photo for a PDF of the entire article. |

Aged Cider Vinegar
Traditionally made cider vinegar aged for two years in oak.
I'd been looking for a really good North American cider vinegar for so long I can't remember when I started. It's crazy that it should be so hard to find. Cider vinegar was once a standard ingredient in kitchens across the continent.
After almost giving up, I actually happened upon a very nice one made in the Monteregie region of Quebec by Pierre Gingras, a third-generation apple grower. Gingras starts by crushing only whole, hand picked organic apples (no windfalls are used nor are scraps or scrapings from previous pressings) from his own orchard. The juice is allowed to convert to vinegar slowly and naturally and then spends two years in French oak barrels, where it mellows and matures.
Unfiltered and unpasteurized, it really does deliver true apple flavor. Perfect for salads, slaws, pickles and preserved vegetables.
We use this vinegar as the base for the eastern North Carolina vinegar barbecue sauce at Zingerman's Roadhouse.

Deep in the Everglades
- By: Chico Fernandez
- Photography by: Chico Fernandez
The florida everglades provide all sorts of unique angling opportunities, but fly fishers must target specific areas depending on the season or they'll miss out on the best that the Glades has to offer.
For some anglers fishing the Glades means working the outside keys during summer and fall for a variety of species, such as snook, redfish, tarpon, seatrout, triple tail, mangrove snapper, and even sharks that range to 400 pounds.
Sinking Lines in the Salt

Going fishing is an adventure, and no matter how long you've fished, you never know what awaits you. And this is part of the thrill, sometimes.
Once, on a flight to Belize, I looked down and all I saw were whitecaps, even on the shallow flats. A few minutes later we were on the small island of Ambergris Caye; the wind that met us had to be over 20 miles per hour, with stronger gusts. This was not good for any kind of fishing, but for a group of fly fishermen looking for bonefish, it was terrible.
That evening I gathered the small group before dinner and suggested they think of fishing some of the creeks and rivers in the area. They offer great protection against the wind and a variety of fish species to chase. But the group was set on bonefish. They had thought about bones for months, and they couldn't give them up. I understood.
The Logic of Bonefish Leaders
- By: Chico Fernandez
- Photography by: Jim Butler
For the third day in a row I had set my alarm for 5 a.m, and after a quick cup of café con leche I drove across the then-small city of Miami (this was in the early '60s), over three bridges and onto Key Biscayne. Then, after a left turn onto a narrow, partially hidden, sandy road, I parked under a large seagrape tree, a tree I had parked under many times before. From there, just a quarter-mile walk along the beach brought me to the northeast shore of the key, where I looked out on a large, open flat facing the ocean.
Permit Pursuits
- By: Chico Fernandez
It's often said that the weather never gets too hot for permit on the flats. Even in the high heat of summer, when most bonefishing is done early and late in the day, permit are seen tailing during the middle of the day, in weather that is too hot for many fly fishers—particularly if you come from up north and are not used to 90-plus temperatures and high humidity.
Subtle Barbs

Finding the right amount of barb for your hooks will ensure better hookups and more fish landed.
Mack Attacks
- By: Chico Fernandez
"I cast again, saw the fly plop on the surface and a fish break to take it right away. I set the hook and the line flew through my fingers at lighting speed. I knew I had a nice-size mackerel, for sure."
Double-Figure Bones

This is my cat Tilly. She is just over 2 years old. She is more dog than cat.
These are some of the things she does:
Lies Down
Gives Knuckles
speaks (still working on that one)
and plays dead (on rare occasions.. - she is still a cat now ;)
Most people who meet her are just amazed. I take her out on little outings, such as when CR Bank and Trust had their Drive In Movie night. She was a ham and did well with other patrons.
She is amazing because shes so different. She came from the Cedar Rapids Flood area, and has become our most beloved family member. She is tiny (runt of the litter), but for her lack of size, she makes up in her amazing brain abilities.
She is also the head boss of my art. If she lies on top of my art projects I know they are Tilly approved. She only lays on ones that are up to my standards. (Smart girl!)
I hope you enjoy Tilly's story as much as I am enjoying her in my life.

Laramie, WY – The Wyoming Farm Bureau Federation is worried that demand for corn as an alternative fuel source will disrupt the state's farming and ranching industry.
The group's executive vice president, Ken Hamilton, says emphasis on corn for ethanol production has raised its price. The increase is then felt by livestock producers who must pay more to feed their cattle. Hamilton says that's a problem in Wyoming where livestock makes up 80 percent of the state's agriculture business. Hamilton also says some farmers have stopped growing hay in Wyoming to take advantage of the profits in corn. He spoke at a town hall meeting on energy this Wednesday in Cheyenne.

LTG, Reggae Band From Nashville
A time period spent travelling and busking for food money inspired "Fall Away," a track from Nashville reggae Band The LTG.
"We had no money in our pocket, just a drum and a guitar and a fiddle and we just went from rest-stop to rest-stop to town to town, playing music on the street," says James Letorgeon, who sings and plays guitar and fiddle in the group.
"A lot of people didn't understand that. 'What do your parents think?' You know, it's OK to fall away sometimes until you kind of find yourself and find your way"
The LTG also features James' brother, singer/guitarist Morgan Letorgeon, as well as bassist Samantha Joelle and drummer Dan Twiford.
On Feb. 15, the band will play a free 9 p.m. show at Humphrey's Bar & Grill, located at 103 Washington St. James. James Leteorgeon called for this phone interview from outside a Greek restaurant in Nashville.
James, The LTG bio states talks about the band "performing acoustically on peaceful beaches. What was the best beach to play music on?
Oh man, Venice Beach, California. It's the one place you can see people truly be themselves and everybody accept that. Whether you're a crazy bum doing your thing or a rich doctor surfing or a crack-head, everybody there is living life to the fullest and how they want to do it.
How would you describe Nashville's reggae scene?
Very supportive and loving. And growing.
Who's a reggae artist you feel in underrated?
I think Clinton Fearon. I really love his stuff and you don't see him as big as some of the other guys. And there's a band called Rootz Underground, totally underrated. Raging Fyah, totally underrated. They're getting heard, but not on the field they should be.
Can you remember some of the earliest songs you and your brother learned to play together when you were just starting out as musicians?
First one off the bat was "House of the Rising" sun. We played that and a lot of Red Hot Chili Peppers, too. "Californication" was like the second song we learned. He was playing bass and I was playing some guitar.
Since you play fiddle as well as guitar in The LTG, I was wondering how you thought fiddle fit into reggae music?
Fiddle is really a heart-string puller. Reggae is a rally heartfelt music, and the fiddle drags more emotion into it.
Overwhelming Attendance For Montreal Int'l Reggae Fest
Last weekend the 10th edition of the Montreal International Reggae Festival (MIRF) reached new heights of popularity. Held from Friday, August 16, to Sunday, August 18, it attracted a sold-out crowd on Saturday night. On Friday and Sunday selling 97 per cent of the total site capacity of 10,000 seats was taken.
Friday night's performers included Morgan Heritage, making a remarkable return to the MIRF stage for the third time. They performed all their greatest hits as well as extracts from their new album, Here Come the Kings. It was a dynamic set despite the absence of Una Morgan,who fell ill after arriving in Montreal, Canada.
Traditionally known as dancehall night, Saturday featured some of the most relevant artistes on the scene currently. They included Toronto's Dahlia and Jamaica's Mr Vegas, who performed his hits over the past 15 years.
Also featured at the event was Kes The Band, which brought out many of Montreal's Eastern Caribbean revellers. Shaggy was also in top form as well as an electrifying musical doctor, Beenie Man.
The legendary King Yellowman also gave a lively set, setting a high bar for young sensation Serani and singer Alaine. These performances were very good, but proved an icebreaker for the magical performance of iconic reggae artiste Cocoa Tea.
The festival was closed by Freddie McGregor and his Big Ship Crew, who performed a plethora of his timeless hits.
The only downside to this year's Montreal International Reggae Festival was the cancellation of Luciano's scheduled appearance, following a visa problem that was beyond the control of MIRF.
Slightly Stoopid Performing Reggae In Athens
If there is one thing that Slightly Stoopid does not lack, it is stage presence.
While some of the musical talent did not seem to transfer from its eight studio albums to the live performance, Slightly Stoopid did present a very cohesive reggae sound, with a small mix of jam and punk rock.
Slightly Stoopid offered Athens a solid collection of fan favorites, playing hits such as "Closer to the Sun," "Collie Man," and "No Cocaine." The band even threw in a cover of Charles Wright & the Watts 103 Street Rhythm Band's eponymous classic, "Express Yourself."
What set Friday's show apart from other spring concerts was the band's interaction with the crowd. The tickets were sold out, but the show still had a feeling of intimacy created by the band's outgoing personality on stage.
Lead guitarist and vocalist, Miles Doughty had the fans raising their hands in the air, raising their lighters in the air, saying '"hello" to a sick friend of the band on the phone, and even chanting "shimmy shimmy ya" by the Ol' Dirty Bastard.
As has become a trend at the Georgia Theatre this spring, the crowd was audible from across the street and started a Braves chop right before the encore, proving Slightly Stoopid's ability to please time and time again.
The opening act, Tribal Seeds, shared the stage with Slightly Stoopid for its encore. They will continue to tour together for the next few weeks, making stops in Nashville, Tenn., Winston-Salem, N.C., and numerous other musical hot spots in the Southeast.
Having now toured on its last album for nearly eight months, Slightly Stoopid will likely continue playing its warm weather music live throughout the summer. As the band continues to play a driving force in the reggae movement that was once driven by classics like Sublime, it would be no surprise to see Slightly Stoopid continue its success with a ninth studio album in the near future.
Live Reggae In Montgomery
That reggae band that's been playing at the Blue Dog Pub in Towamencin since October is called Fulljoy.
The name, says guitarist Mark Cosgrove, is a nod to Jamaican patois. "When the Jamaicans say 'enjoy,' it sounds like 'end joy,' and they don't want to end joy," he said.
Cosgrove should know: two of Fulljoy's primary members — singer and keyboardist Horace "Bassy" Allen and drummer Neville Thomas — come from the musical island.
Something that throws new fans off, Cosgrove said, is that Thomas is blind. "It's amazing what he can do without sight. It's funny when people come up to him to shake his hand [and he can't see them extending their hand]," he said.
Bassist Urijah James hails from the Caribbean island of Antigua and Fulljoy's other drummer, Mike Shaffer, is a Blue Dog server.
In March the band alternated Saturday nights between the Blue Dog Pub in the Allen Forge Shopping Center at Valley Forge and Allentown roads, and the Blue Dog Family Tavern at County Line Road and Route 202, New Britain.
"It's something different for Lansdale, but people enjoy it ... or full joy it," laughed Cosgrove, a West Philadelphia resident.
"Those guys have a great sound," said Blue Dog general manager Rob Hyde.
Fulljoy's set blends classic reggae with original songs, and they play it dub reggae style.
"Dub really started out as a [recording] studio thing. The emphasis is on the drums and bass," he said. The listener is led to pay attention to the different instruments as they drop out of the mix until there is only bass and drums. Then the dropped-out instruments return with effects or variations of some sort.
"The first rap DJs in New York were Jamaican. It was the original remix," noted Cosgrove, who sometimes mistakenly gets phone calls for a Bucks County flatpicking guitarist who is also named Mark Cosgrove.
Along with 10 other bands, Fulljoy just played at Wall Street International, 1431-39 N. 52nd St., Philadelphia, April 20; now you'll have to wait till at least May to catch the band around these parts again.
There's also a "Fulljoy band" Facebook page to stay in touch.
Just because Fulljoy won't be at the Blue Dog Pub (Towamencin) for a while doesn't mean the live music there stops. At 9 p.m. Saturdays, there's been a series of solo acoustic sounds — Mike Meade played April 13, C.J. Gravity played April 20 and Dan Ward will play April 27.
"It's kind of like when you go down the shore and there's a guy playing [solo acoustic in a bar]," Hyde said, elaborating that the singers will perform "a cross between modern rock, classic rock and something fun, like shore music."
Hyde indicated that he'd like to experiment with rotating different reggae bands — all of which are likely to be friends of Shaffer's — at the Blue Dog because, he explained, different bands mean different set lists and variations on the reggae sound.
An area band known for going down the reggae path, The Mighty Manatees, played the Blue Dog Family Tavern (New Britain) April 13 — with Shaffer sitting in on drums, no less.
Mighty Manatees cofounder, singer and guitarist Will Hodgson said that they refer to Shaffer as "Ras Michael," after a Jamaican singer who goes by that name.
According to Hodgson, the band leans on the reggae part of its repertoire when it plays outdoors. But with Ras Michael playing with them this weekend, even though they're indoors, "it'll probably be a heavy reggae" show, he said, naming covers by Toots & The Maytals, Bob Marley, Ziggy Marley, Peter Tosh, Jimmy Cliff, Culture and Black Uhuru that they might play.
Online, at www.themightymanatees.com, the band lists shows it will be playing in the area, including, most recently, performances at Justin's Carriage House April 12 and another at the Hotel Fiesole April 19, both in Skippack. The band also will be playing every other Thursday night at the Rising Sun Inn, 898 Allentown Road, Franconia Township.
The Skatalites Are Coming To Humboldt
Forty-nine years. Nearly five decades. Almost half a century. That's how much time has passed since The Skatalites first assembled boogie-woogie blues, jazz, Calypso, mento and African rhythms into one of Jamaica's signature musical styles. Nine of the original 10 Skatalites have passed on, but founding member Lester "Ska" Sterling continues to hold forth on alto sax as the newer version of the band tours in support of their latest album, "Walk With Me." From the 1964 debut album, "Ska Authentic," to the new one, the times and musicians may have changed, but the music -- and the love of it -- has remained the same.
Things started way back at what was considered a place to send "wayward boys," Alpha Boys School. The school, run by the Sisters of Mercy, maintained not only high expectations of behavior, but of musicianship as well. Original Skatalite Tommy McCook was enrolled in Alpha Boys School in 1938. Other Skatalites, including Sterling, trombonist Don Drummond, Johnny "Dizzy" Moore, Cedric Brooks, Vin Gordon, Rico Rodriquez, Ernest Ranglin, Eddie "Tan Tan" Thornton, Bobby Ellis, "Horsemouth" Wallace and JoJo Bennett, all of whom have played with or were members of The Skatalites, were also students at Alpha Boys School.
Sterling remembers the school as a place you could learn a trade and an instrument. Legend has it that Moore got himself in trouble just to be sent to Alpha so he could play music with the best. Music theory was an integral part of learning to play, and the rigorous training at Alpha Boys School resulted in a brilliant generation of Jamaican musicians. These musicians would influence the changing sounds of the 1960s.
As Jamaica gained its independence, the island's music took on a new life, mixing dancehall with jazz and incorporating social consciousness into the greater themes of the songs. The brain trust of this new world was Studio One, where The Skatalites began recording. One of their songs, "Simmer Down," became Bob Marley's first No. 1 Jamaican hit. In addition to backing Marley and The Wailers, The Skatalites played behind other top singers of the day -- Stranger Cole, Alton Ellis, Ken Boothe, Toots and The Maytals, Delroy Wilson, Peter Tosh and Jimmy Cliff, all of whom benefited from the incredible musicianship of the band.
How good were they? So good that after officially forming as The Skatalites in 1964, their first rehearsal -- at the Hi-Hat club, a legendary New Orleans burlesque club -- turned into their first gig when so many people crammed inside to listen that the owner started charging admission. The salad days were short-lived however, as The Skatalites' story took a dark turn.
Trombonist Don Drummond was often described as a "mad genius." Widely acknowledged as both a brilliant songwriter and erratic performer, Drummond often admitted himself to the sanatorium. Ultimately, his instability led to the stabbing and killing of his common-law wife Marguerita Mahfood in an apparent fit of jealousy on New Year's Eve of 1965. By August, The Skatalites had split into two supergroups, Rolando Alphonso and the Soul Vendors, and Tommy McCook and the Supersonics. In early 1967, Drummond's ska adaptation of the theme to the film "The Guns of Navarone" entered the U.K.'s Top Forty chart. He died in the Bellevue Asylum in 1969.
But this was not to be the end of the story. In 1974, bass player Lloyd Brevett was recording a solo album that, bit by bit, turned into a Skatalites reunion. In 1979, the band recorded an album that remains unreleased due to contractual disputes. That setback didn't keep them from moving forward -- they reunited and played Montego Bay's Reggae Sunsplash festival in 1983. The success of that show propelled them forth yet again. Simultaneously through the late 1970s and early 1980s, English two-tone revival groups The Specials, Madness, The English Beat and Selector incorporated The Skatalites influence into their own highly popular music. American bands followed along including The Slackers, HepCat, Mighty Mighty Bosstones, No Doubt, David Hillyard and The Rocksteady 7, The Toasters and King Django. The success of bands influenced by The Skatalites has helped keep the originals -- and the new version of the originals -- in demand.
Through the late 1980s and into the 2000s, the band continued to tour and record. Notably, after first serving as Bunny Wailer's backup band in 1989, they followed up in 1990 performing behind Prince Buster. The momentum continued, leading to 1993's highly acclaimed "Skavoovee." U.S. audiences were embracing ska with fervor at the time and the constant touring of The Skatalites kept their old fans engaged while gaining new ones exponentially. Even as the band returned to their jazz roots, their following remained extremely loyal.
The Skatalites' current members are Lester Sterling (alto saxophone); Doreen Shaffer (vocals); Azemobo "Zem" Audu (tenor saxophone); Andrae Murchison (trombone); Kevin Batchelor (trumpet); Val Douglas (bass guitar); Natty Frenchy (guitar); Cameron Greenlee (keyboards) and Trevor "Sparrow" Thompson (drums). When it comes to adding new members, the guiding philosophy is that the music is its own entity and each musician brought on board respects that and helps to continue carrying it through to audiences new and old.
Reviews of "Walk With Me," The Skatalites' 15th studio album released in May 2012, praise the expert arrangement and impeccable performances. Dana Smart writes in the Examiner that "their inimitable chug and hot syncopation confirming the band's status as the originators with such zeal that one would swear Duke Reid or Coxson Dodd himself was behind the boards, coaxing these fiery performances from the band." In the Austin Chronicle, Dan Oko raves "... dancehall done right. Pass it along!" An Afropop Worldwide review gushes "'Walk With Me' is, front to back, an unqualified pleasure of a listen."
Samples from "Walk With Me" can be found in the audio section of skatalites.com.
With the word "legendary" firmly attached to their reputation, the fact that The Skatalites are coming to Humboldt is spectacular. The fact that they're playing in the intimate venue of Arcata's Jambalaya is even more amazing. Catch them Saturday at 10 p.m. and be sure to get tickets ($20) in advance through jambalayaarcata.com. The show is 21 and over. Elephant Dub Squad opens.

One Love Festival 2012
During its short but eventful five year history Dan Wiltshire's One Love Festival has survived repeated venue changes, unsympathetic authorities and rival promoters. This year the event faced battles with their site's owners, stringent noise regulations and a couple of artist no-shows, yet maintained its mix of good music and low key relaxed vibes - blessed by one of the most gorgeously sunny weekends of the year. After two years based in Hainault, Essex, Wiltshire decided to return his event to Kent – to the site of Vince Power's Hop Farm Festival in Paddock Wood. The traditional growery of hops, a crucial ingredient in beer and a member of the cannabis family, seemed the perfect place to continue the uniquely chilled out reggae and dub vibe of the gathering in bucolic seclusion.

No surprises here -- particularly since LG's Vu has been on sale through a number of AT&T retail outlets since late last month (whoops!). Today, however, the carrier is officially listing LG's latest for sale, and the Mobile TV-supporting handset is going for a stiff $549.99 sans contract, or $299.99 after giving away your cellular soul for two years and waiting anxiously for a $100 mail-in rebate to arrive. Check out our hands-on gallery to see if you're really ready to make this kind of commitment.

Texas....I've been in contact with the Warrick County historian and she came across a medical file on Burton Dimmett. She is sending that to me. So I can add that to my info on him. But this Meredith guy she was unable to tell me anything other than what I already knew. Going to try the Spencer County historian next. The Dimmett's lived right on the border of Warrick and Spencer counties. Another question I have is where can I find out Confederate military records? I had ancestors from North Carolina to Texas in the armies of the Confederacy. The Dimmett/Dimmitt family was a patriotic bunch on both sides. Last edited on Thu Nov 24th, 2011 10:24 am by BHR62 |

While they're wondering where the goals have gone in San Jose, the saving grace of that team has been strong goaltending and defense, along with a propensity to draw calls and get more power play opportunities than their foes. The Preds have been relatively well-disciplined, giving up the 4th-fewest PP's in the league, so one major factor to follow tonight will be how the special teams battle plays out.
The Preds return home Friday to face the Edmonton Oilers. Find the best ticket deals on the market at TiqIQ!
San Jose Sharks
After charging out of the gate with seven straight wins, San Jose has been in a tailspin since the Predators beat them in a shootout back on February 2nd, going 2-6-4 in their last twelve games. To get a sense of the mood out west, head over to Fear The Fin.
In goal, Antti Niemi is off to a good start for San Jose. Of his eight total losses, four have come in games which he gave up one goal or less during regulation & overtime:
Against Nashville all-time, Niemi is 5-3-3 with a 2.18 GAA and .918 save percentage. Just as before, the San Jose media relations staff brings us this fascinating Fin Fact:
"Joe Thornton made up the nickname "Rico" for him, no one, not even Joe, knows why. "He just looks like a Rico," says Joe."
Nashville Predators
After an embarrassing effort Wednesday night at Anaheim, the Predators have held a team meeting, tried to lighten the mood with shootout competitions in practice, and are apparently shuffling the lines for tonight's game:
Colin Wilson | Mike Fisher | Martin Erat |
Sergei Kostitsyn | David Legwand | Gabriel Bourque |
Nick Spaling | Craig Smith | Patric Hornqvist |
Brandon Yip | Paul Gaustad | Rich Clune |
Will it make a difference? That Legwand line will get some close scrutiny tonight. Kostitsyn was called out in the paper this morning by Barry Trotz, and Leggy gets my nod as the most underperforming player on the team this season:
It's just too bad the Preds will wear their road whites tonight. Make sure to come back later for the Game Thread, which will take us into the wee hours of the morn!

Entertainment Weekly got a chance to interview Robert Kirkman about what happened with Shane in Episode 3. Kirkman also talks about The Governor (saying that he knows EXACTLY who The Governor will be), and Daryl Dixon among other things.
NYCC: Robert Kirkman Spotlight
Did you know, Robert Kirkman partially based Axel from "The Walking Dead" on the writer's one-time Marvel Comics editor Axel Alonso? According to Kirkman, Alonso would pepper their conversations with "You follow me?" a saying that gave Kirkman such a kick, he bestowed the catchphrase upon the grizzled prisoner. Facts and stories like this flowed from the writer during his New York Comic Con spotlight panel, much to the enjoyment of assembled con-goers.
After a whirlwind of a weekend thanks to non-stop appearances and signings, Kirkman was openly tired during the panel, but that didn't stop the charismatic creator from entertaining the huge room of fans. Sitting onstage along with "Walking Dead" editor Sina Grace, Kirkman ran through a slideshow that had been previously shown at the Skybound panel before jumping directly into a Q&A session that hit the obvious questions about his influences, delved into some meatier territory and ended with one unpopular fan's spoiling of the previous weekend's "Breaking Bad" season finale.
The season two premiere of AMC's "Walking Dead" set a record as the most-watched basic cable drama, skyrocketing some 38 percent from its freshman ratings, netting 7.3 million viewers in total, and spelling out both the lasting power of AMC and the doom of several other cable shows.
SAN FRANCISCO — You wouldn't think by looking at Robert Kirkman that he's the twisted mind behind "The Walking Dead." He looks more like the kind of guy who would be concerned with your insurance needs than coming up with the latest gruesome battle between man and zombie. Looks aside, Kirkman's the current king of the walking dead. His best-selling graphic novels have become the basis for one of the hottest shows on AMC. After a nine-month wait, the second season of "The Walking Dead" finally begins Sunday as part of the "AMC Fearfest," more than 300 hours of Halloween-themed programming that includes more than 60 films through Oct. 31. Kirkman has been writing comics for more than a decade, but it was the transformation of "The Walking Dead" from comic to cable series that brought him the most attention. "TV is a much larger medium than comics, sadly," Kirkman says. "I don't really know why, honestly. I think comics are just as valid a form of entertainment as television. I don't remember the first TV series I saw or the first movie I saw. But I can tell you exactly where I was when I read my first comic book.
a walking dead talk show was announced!!!
Remember that "Walking Dead" talk show that was rumored late last month? Well, guess what: it is officially on!


text: Five Questions, Five MinutesJewish Music/Shabbat ShiraOUR QUESTIONS:1. What is your name? 2. What school do you attend? 3. What is your favorite Hebrew song?\ 4. How does adding music to prayer change the service? 5. Does having the music during the service help unite the congregation more than usual? YOUR ANSWERS:1. Andy Gryll 2. Emory University (Atlanta) 3. David Melech 4. It adds enjoyment and entertainment to an otherwise boring service. It also can, for example in Kabbalat Shabbat on Friday night, be a spiritual component of the service. 5. Yes 1. Matt Rutta 2. Columbia/Jewish Theological Seminary (New York City) 3. I have too many favorites to pick just one. This summer I got hooked on the songs of Subliminal, an Israeli hip-hop group 4. It can make the service more beautiful and more spiritual in some ways, but can affect it negatively in others. 5. Coming from a Shul in LA which uses an organ, and living in New York City where such a thing is anathema, I have seen advantages and disadvantages to both approaches. Music could potentially allow for more congregational participation if the Shaliach Tzibur is accommodating of the congregation and does not go off on too many musical tangents. 1. Aaron Weininger 2. Washington University in St. Louis 3. Yachad 4. Adding music, especially instruments, to prayer enhances the beauty of the service. Historically, musical instruments have been prohibited from use on Shabbat because one might be tempted, if the occasion arises, to fix a broken string (and violate Shabbat). Some also believe that adding musical instruments will detract from the spirit of Shabbat and transform a synagogue into a church-like atmosphere. Despite associations to Christian worship, instrumental music has always played a significant role in Jewish life. The Temple in Jerusalem featured musical accompaniment and in modern Jewish life today, Conservative synagogues are introducing creative musical Shabbat services like "Friday Night Live." While some claim that we should continue to mourn for the Temple by refraining from instrumental music in our worship, we have been blessed with the creation of the modern State of Israel. Conservative Judaism has modified the Musaf service by referring to Temple sacrificial worship in the past tense (as a historical reference), to recall our ancestors' ties to the Temple without expressing a desire for the return of sacrificial worship in the future. Just as Conservative Musaf liturgy reflects our contemporary thinking, so too must our style of davening reflect our joy, symbolized in the realization of our dreams and the emergence of our spiritual homeland. Opportunities to introduce musical accompaniment and enrich the service should be welcomed. 5. Absolutely. Music, in keeping with the spirit of Shabbat, helps unite the congregation more than usual. Appropriate musical instruments, like a guitar, harp, or keyboard will lead to more congregational participation and ruach. The power of music brings enormous honor and dignity, and musical accompaniment may compliment the traditional liturgy of a Conservative Friday night or Saturday morning service. 1. Jessica Danon 2.

Jeni Friedman taught it to us and now every time I hear it, it takes me back to my one true home, and I often get teary-eyed. 4. Adding music can both add or detract from a service in my mind. I enjoy music that brings a congregation together with harmonies and melodies that people can sing along with. 5. I think solely choral music is a bad idea because it tends to highlight the choir and pull one away from their own intentful worship. Again, if the melody is simple and everyone can learn or is taught it, I don't see it as a bad thing. [Posted 1/22/04] |

3D TV compatibility is a new feature on higher-end LED, LCD, and plasma TVs released since 2010. It allows those TVs to display 3D content with the right accessories--namely 3D glasses and a 3D source. The main reason to care, if you're shopping for a new flat-panel TV, is because you might enjoy the effect enough to prefer it to normal 2D HDTV when watching movies and special events. With that in mind, here are a few basic points about 3D TV
All 3D TVs will display current 2D high-def and standard-def content with no problem and no glasses required, and their 2D picture quality is not affected in any negative way we've noticed by their 3D capabilities. In fact, for the foreseeable future we expect most 3D TVs to spend most of their time showing 2D video.
That's why we prefer to think of 3D compatibility as "just another feature," like Internet streaming or a fancy remote control. You can take it or leave it, but for most TV shoppers it's not the most important feature on a modern television.
A screen showing 3D content displays two separate images of the same scene simultaneously, one intended for the viewer's right eye and one for the left eye. When viewed without the aid of 3D glasses, the two full-size images appear intermixed with one another, fuzzy and basically unwatchable. When viewers don the glasses, they perceive these two images as a single 3D image, a process known as "fusing." The system relies on a phenomenon of visual perception called stereopsis, so it's not "true" 3D like real life or a hologram.
Despite the launch of glasses-free 3D products like the Nintendo 3DS, HTC Evo 3D and Toshiba Qosmio F755-3D290--and breathless reports by bloggers--we think an affordable, practical 3D TV that doesn't require glasses is at least five years away. For now, every viewer of a 3D TV needs to wear a pair of special glasses to see the 3D effect.
In addition to a new TV and glasses, you'll also need a 3D source, typically a 3D-capable Blu-ray player or cable/satellite/Internet video box. You'll also need the 3D version of the Blu-ray disc, or be watching a 3D program on a 3D channel or streaming service. (While some 3D TVs offer 2D-to-3D conversion, the process isn't really good enough to compete with native 3D content.)
3D TVs released since 2010 can display high-resolution, color-correct 3D images, which blows away the old "anaglyph" method using red-and-blue filtered glasses. The biggest differences between theatrical 3D and 3D TV in the home are the size of the screen and the distance you sit from it. If you enjoy 3D theatrical presentations, you're a prime candidate for caring about 3D in the home.
Between 5 percent and 10 percent of Americans suffer from "stereo blindness." They often have good depth perception--which relies on more than just stereopsis--but cannot perceive the depth dimension of 3D video presentations.
By the same token, some 3D presentations can cause eye fatigue, headaches or other discomfort in some viewers, particularly over long periods of time. In CNET's experience, and in the opinions of most experts we've consulted, the main cause of eye fatigue isn't the 3D technology itself; it's badly produced 3D content.

One of the most popular players in Rangers history is leaving a position in the team's front office.
Mark Messier issued a statement Thursday saying he is resigning his position with the team.
He said he's pursuing an opportunity to expand the game of hockey in the city by developing the Kingsbridge National Ice Center in the Bronx.
Messier was interviewed for the Rangers head coaching job that went to Alain Vigneault.
In his statement, he said, "Although some will perceive this as a reaction to the coaching decision, nothing could be further from the truth. I completely respect the decision that was made and for all the reasons it was made. I harbor no hard feelings toward Glen or the Rangers. This is a personal choice I am making to create a program in the New York area that will give our children more choices and opportunities in the future."
Rangers President Glen Sather also issued a statement, saying, "Mark Messier will always be a part of the New York Rangers family. As a player and then as part of the management team, he brought incomparable passion and dedication to the organization. We wish him well in his future endeavors."

When business-friendly bills and resolutions spread like wildfire in statehouses nationwide calling for something as far-fetched as a halt to EPA regulations on greenhouse gas emissions, ALEC is always a safe bet for a good place to look for their origin.
In the midst of hosting its 39th Annual Meeting [1] this week in Salt Lake City, Utah, the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) [2] is appropriately described as an ideologically conservative "corporate bill mill [3]" by the Center for Media and Democracy [4], the overseer of the ALEC Exposed [5] project. 98 percent of ALEC's funding comes from corporations [6], according to CMD.
ALEC's meetings bring together corporate lobbyists and state legislators to schmooze and then vote on what it calls "model bills [5]." Lobbyists, as CMD explains, have a "voice and a vote in shaping policy [7]." In short, they have de facto veto power over whether the prospective bills they present at these conferences become "models" that will be distributed to the offices of politicians in statehouses nationwide.
For a concise version of how ALEC operates, see the brand new video below by Mark Fiore.
ALEC, though, isn't the only group singing this tune.
As it turns out, one of the "Other ALECs [8]," or a group that operates in a similar manner to ALEC, will be hosting its conference in the immediate aftermath of ALEC's conference [9]: the Council of State Government's (CSG) regional offshoot, the Southern Leadership Conference [10] (SLC).
Like ALEC, CSG produces its own "model bills," which it calls "Suggested State Legislation [11]" (SSL). SSL is enacted via an "up or down" vote manner at CSG's national meetings. This process mirrors that of its cousin ALEC, with corporate lobbyists also able to vote in closed door meetings.
Some key differences between CSG and ALEC [12]: the former is bipartisan in nature, while the latter is Republican Party-centric; CSG has a far larger budget, due to the fact that 43 percent of its funding comes from taxpayer contributions [13]; and CSG is not explicitly ideological in nature because it was founded as a trade association for state legislators [14](not as a corporate front group like ALEC, although CSG is now heavily influenced by the same forces).
SLC's annual meeting will be held in Charleston, West Virginia [9] from July 28-31 [15].
TruthOut's ongoing "Other ALECs Exposed [8]" series (written by yours truly) digs deep into the machinations of "Other ALEC [8]"-like groups.
One of the key threads tying these two particular groups together is their agreement on derailing what they describe as "job-killing" EPA greenhouse gas emissions regulations. ALEC has referred to these sensible standards on multiple occassions as a "Regulatory Trainwreck [16]."
ALEC, SLC and EPA "Regulatory Trainwreck" Resolutions
ALEC's "Regulatory Trainwreck" Resolution
ALEC has two model bills on the books that call for EPA regulations to be eliminated: the State Regulatory Responsibility Act [17] and the Resolution Opposing EPA's Regulatory Train Wreck [18]. Essentially clones, the two bills passed nearly a decade apart from one another, the former in 2000 [17], the latter in 2011 [19].
ALEC's description [20] of EPA regulations reads like the apocolypse is looming.
"The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has begun a war on the American standard of living," it wrote [20]. "During the past couple of years, the Agency has undertaken the most expansive regulatory assault in history on the production and distribution of affordable and reliable energy...These regulations are causing the shutdown of power plants across the nation, forcing electricity generation off of coal, destroying jobs, raising energy costs, and decreasing reliability."
Former CMD reporter Jill Richardson wrote in a July 2011 story [21] that the concept behind the resolution originated at ALEC's December 2010 policy summit. Richardson explained [21],
The policy summit included a session led by Peter Glaser [22] of Troutman Sanders LLP law firm in which Glaser, an attorney who represents electric utility, mining and other energy industry companies and associations on environmental regulation, specifically in the area of air quality and global climate change, told the crowd that "EPA's regulatory trainwreck" is "a term that's now in common use around town. I think everybody should become familiar with it." (See the video [23] here.) Along with the presentations, ALEC published a report [24] called "EPA's Regulatory Trainwreck: Strategies for State Legislators" and provided "Legislation to Consider [25]" on its site, RegulatoryTrainwreck.com. For the public, they created the website StopTheTrainwreck.com.
The Resolution [19] calls for the EPA to stop regulating greenhouse gases for the next two years as a "jobs creation" mechanism.
After the midterm election ransacking, in which the GOP won large majorities in state legislatures nationwide [26], it was off to the races for "Regulatory Train Wreck" resolutions to pass around the country, and pass they did.
The "Regulatory Trainwreck" resolution, according to ALEC [27], has been introduced in an astounding 34 states [27], passing in 13, as of a June 2011 press release.
This assault conducted by ALEC and its corporate backers [28] is merely the tip of the iceberg. ALEC itself boasts [29],
There are 27 groups of state and local officials that opposerecent EPA action, including tens of thousands of state legislators, utility commissioners, agricultural department officials, foresters, drinking water administrators, fish and wildlife agencies, solid waste management officials, state wetland managers, mayors, counties, and cities.
One of these 27 groups [29] included CSG's Southern Leadership Conference [10].
SLC Adopts the "Regulatory Train Wreck" Resolution as its Own
On July 19, 2011, the SLC adopted the ALEC Regulatory Train Wreck resolution [30] at its 65th Annual Meeting in Memphis, TN [31]. The Resolution called for, among other things, to
- "Adopt legislation prohibiting the EPA from further regulating greenhouse gas emissions for the next 24 months, including, if necessary, defunding the EPA greenhouse gas regulatory activity;"
- "Impose a moratorium on the promulgation of any new air quality regulation by the EPA, including, if necessary,the defunding of the EPA air quality regulatory activities, except to address an imminent health or environmental emergency, for a period of at least 24 months;"
In other words, this is a copycat of the ALEC Resolution [19]. SLC, like ALEC, chocks it up to the false dichotomy of regulation vs. jobs, and regulations "killing jobs." As DeSmogBlog has written, the opposite is actually the case [32].
The resolution's opening paragraph is a case in point. It reads [17],
"The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has proposed, or is in the process of proposing, numerous regulations regarding air quality and regulation of greenhouse gases that likely will have major effects on Southern state economies, impacting businesses, manufacturing industries and, in turn, job creation and U.S. competitiveness in world markets."
Lobbyists representing the Nuclear Energy Institute, the American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity (ACCCE), Southern States Energy Board (a lobbying tour de force [33], which has a whole host of dirty energy clients [34] in the oil, gas, and nuclear power sectors), Piedmont Natural Gas, Spectra Energy, and Southern Company were all in attendance [35] to vote on this resolution.
Dirty energy sponsors [36] of the 2011 SLC meeting included the likes of Spectra, General Electric, ACCCE, Chevron, Honeywell, Piedmont Natural Gas, BP, Southern Company, and Atmos Energy, to name several.
If adopted at a federal level, this resolution would, of course, make all of these companies a hefty fortune.
ALEC's Bifurcated Approach: Strip Federal Regs, Attack Local Democracy
Oil, gas, nuclear and utility corporations that fund ALEC and groups like CSG would like nothing more than to see EPA regulations disintegrate into thin air.
Part one [37] of DeSmog's investigation on ALEC's dirty energy agenda showed that, along with pushing for the elimination of EPA regulations, it has also succeeded in promulgating legislation that would eliminate local democracy as we know it, including altering key standards such as zoning rights - a Big Business giveaway of epic proportions.
This would mean only extremely underfunded and understaffed [38] state regulatory agencies like the New York Department of Environmental Conservation [39] would have any oversight on environmental regulatory issues.
If anything is clear, it's this: statehouses have become one of Big Business' favorite domiciles for pushing its "Corporate Playbook [40]."

NTV Kenya live online streaming review and NTV website revamp
NTV Kenya has officially joined the ranks of leading Kenyan television channels which are currently streaming live. You can now catch NTV on their official website www.ntv.co.ke/live/ which has incidentally been overhauled to spot a totally different look.
However, I am going to dedicate this post to the things you need to know about the new live stream and more on some facts you don't need to know but I will let you know anyway. The channel has started advertising their new stream service with vigor this past week during their live TV programming and I can't be blamed for getting a little curious.
I went in and turned the site upside down and came out with some interesting observations which I will presently share with you. Previously, the NTV website only contained clips of their news bulletins with a programme guide and a couple advertisements but now, it is a whole new deal going on there.
Other channels like Citizen TV online and KTN TV online had already begun streaming live a while ago and they have been getting neat reviews ever since. NTV is the latest channel to initiate live stream and they have done so by revamping the entire website at the same time to have a more engaging and friendlier website.
Things are getting really sticky there. Of course, once you are on the website, you will be required to press the 'live' tab first in order to initiate the stream. This is assuming you went straight to the home page, which by the way has a slightly annoying feature, in my own opinion, where a YouTube clip starts playing without being prompted. What's up with that NTV?
That does not spoil the party much in the sum total of things though. The stream itself is powered by YouTube and has some user friendly advantages compared to other platforms such as livestream and Ustream.
Clarity of the stream
The clarity of the stream you use will be dependent on the speed of the connection you are on. On a slow connection, you will get 360p of video quality which is not too whacky but you can get better quality when you switch to auto. Again to modify these settings hover your cursor over the YouTube tab and you will be sorted.
Live stream buffering ability
Ability to buffer makes streaming on a slow network pleasurable. You get to watch content in a smooth display with a few minutes compensation away from the real-time stream.
On a really slow internet connection, it is not really seamless since the buffered stream sometimes skips a couple of seconds ahead, at times repeatedly, and eventually becoming uncoordinated.
Anyone on a fast bandwidth (Read 500 Kbps and above) should be able to stream without any glitch. To watch the buffered content on a slow network, just press the refresh button (where the play button is usually located) and voila.
I was able to watch the 'Third Annual Leadership Congress' on my PC using a 3G Safaricom connection and the experience was ecstatic. However, it was not so pleasurable on my Orange modem which offers slower speeds (Since I am not covered by Orange's 3G at my current location) but it was fairly watchable.
When your stream is buffered, the red light on the 'Live' tab located at the bottom of the YouTube window goes off, but when your stream is actually live it lights up. You can jump to the latest stream from the buffered content by pressing the tab 'live.'
NTV Faces
A unique addition to the website is NTV Faces, which contains information about the popular news anchors of the channel. This is a working idea though since there are actually only five personalities from NTV who are showcased at the moment.
An interesting point to note is that many of the news anchors and reporters are not featured and those featured don't have a common agenda since some share their personal information (which is good and more relevant to the whole plot) while others tell us little we don't already know.
For instance, Watson Karuma and Jamila Mohamed get really up close and personal to their fans while Smriti Vidyarthi tells us about her previous duties in NTV (largely reflecting the image of her as a TV personality we already know) while Nimrod Taabu is probably not aware that his image and link to twitter have been uploaded on the site since there's nothing about him there. But as I mentioned earlier, just like Swahili Hub, there are amazing working ideas going on there.
Nation Media Group has really taken their online presence a notch higher and it has been proven by the inception of Swahiili Hub and online streaming of NTV. Most of NTV and QTV content are also featured in Swahili Hub. Of course in addition to these, there are the online versions of their print products such as Daily Nation, Business Daily and Daily Monitor which are already flying high.
NTV's official website is not necessarily as popular as its other affiliates but with more reason to visit the site now given its live stream, its world Alexa rank of 201, 077 could climb higher in a matter of weeks. But that is my own working theory. We shall have to wait and see.

We use this campground as a halfway point between our home in southern California, and our final destination in southern Oregon each summer. Depending on what's going on at the fairgrounds or buildings next door, it can be noisy. Ultimately, this campground serves our purposes for a quick one night stay.

Bandon / Port Orford KOA
[ 10/10 ]
We have stayed for eight days two summers in a row at this KOA. We enjoyed our stay during this and last summer. Our children enjoy the playground, game room, and train ride around the park in the evenings. We like the secluded, shady sites and quiet atmosphere. This campground is located in between Bandon and Port Orford, which makes it a perfect location to start day trips along the southern Oregon coast. We plan to visit again next summer!

Swedish Woman Gets Invitation Meant For Official
By editor
Originally published on Thu April 26, 2012 9:21 am
Good morning. I'm Renee Montagne with a story of Swedish hospitality. In Stockholm, an invitation to a dinner hosted by a government minister went to the wrong address. Meant for a former deputy prime minister, it went instead to a woman with the same name. A retired occupational therapist, she got gussied up and showed up, which is when her government host realized the mistake and seated her anyway. Asked about security concerns, a spokesman said their guards can handle retired ladies. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright National Public Radio.

''I just love [the name] Sin,'' Sin Morera says. ''I mean, when you meet me, I look like sin. I just have that edgy, badass [sensibility.]''
Sin is, in fact, Morera's actual middle name. But it's a name he's gone by the name since he was a ''pretty bad kid'' in grade school. In the two decades since, Morera has gone from hanging out as a way-underage teenager in New York nightclubs, to writing music for Gloria Estefan and Jon Secada, to working with Junior Vasquez and Frankie Knuckles. Finally, after a decade of fits and starts, he's finally emerging front and center as a DJ. Morera will make his debut in D.C. this Saturday at Be Bar's Be: Cherry party.
''My sound is pretty unique,'' says Morera, born in New Jersey to a Peruvian mom and a Dominican dad. He draws more from pop, R&B and old-school house than today's tribal and techno-dominated club music. ''I do a lot of samples, loops. I mish-mash old records from [legendary clubs] Paradise Garage to Sound Factory to my own stuff.''
The 33-year-old Morera took a few years off from music to recover from the death of the maternal grandmother who actually raised him. ''Her passing was very difficult for me. I was basically crippled emotionally, and I couldn't DJ or write or produce.''
Morera is eager to be back in the music business, and has plans for more songwriting and production in addition to making his mark as a DJ. The mark he'll make isn't just about a particular sound. It's also about sight and smell. ''I love my incense when I DJ. I love my candles when I DJ,'' he says. ''It just helps me channel into the spirits of the room. I can't DJ without them.''
Sin Morera will spin this Saturday, November 10, at Be Bar, 1318 9th Street NW. Doors open 10 p.m. For more info, visit www.bebardc.com or www.myspace.com/sinmorera.

we've got signatures, help us get to 1,000 by November 23, 2013
Nuclear power has too many potential safety issues, and waste disposal issues to be a viable power source for the future. Yet, the U.S. government and many electric utility companies continue to propose the building of new nuclear power plants in the U.S. to meet future demand. These same organizations seem reluctant to look at successful solar and wind implementations in Europe and Canada that could easily be reproduced in the U.S.Pledge to encourage your representatives and power companies to abandon plans for new nuclear power facilities, and instead look toward solar, wind, and other clean alternative energy sources.

I think it's strange that you say it looks like Intrade seems to be overstating Obama's chances. Both FiveThirtyEight and Princeton Election Consortium (which only uses poll data) give Romney negligible chances of winning. Both Nate Silver and Sam Wang have stated their belief that Intrade tends to overstate the challenger's chances. At the very least admit that Intrade is pricing in the publicly available poll aggregation; personally, it seems like it'd dumb for gamblers not to.

Organizational Behavior - OB
Definition of 'Organizational Behavior - OB'
The study of the way people interact within groups. Normally this study is applied in an attempt to create more efficient business organizations. The central idea of the study of organizational behavior is that a scientific approach can be applied to the management of workers. Organizational behavior theories are used for human resource purposes to maximize the output from individual group members.
Investopedia explains 'Organizational Behavior - OB'
There are a variety of different models and philosophies of organizational behavior. Areas of research include improving job performance, increasing job satisfaction, promoting innovation and encouraging leadership. In order to achieve the desired results, managers may adopt different tactics, including reorganizing groups, modifying compensation structures and changing the way performance is evaluated.
