Favilla Classical Guitar. Model C5 Overture
TAKAMINE Hirade H5 Nylon ACOUSTIC CLASSICAL GUITAR Pro Series Solid Cedar
This is a beautiful CLASSICAL guitar that Karo had, according to him, taken in on trade for a new Gibson.
It is a beautiful guitar and seems to be in excellent condition. Karo did not do anything to it he says. Below is some information about the history of the FAVILLA GUITAR Family. These are really impressive instruments. This classical guitar has a wide neck and great resonance. It is light and balances extremely well standing and sitting. The finish does show the usual scraps and marks from being played. Karo believes it to be a 1963 model. He took it in on trade in the 80's he thinks on a Gibson Dove. The serial number is missing from the label inside. It does not have a case but Karo thinks he can find one. Thanks for having a look. And be sure to check my other auctions over the next few weeks for more of Karo's specials.
It is sold in "as is" condition simply because we are trying to clear the place out and the door only swings one way-out. Flat shipping charge of $45,00 by USPS to any US location. I can ship outside the USA but buyer needs to email me for a quote before bidding.
Brief History of The Company by Thomas Favilla:
The Favilla Brothers started building string instruments in the United States in 1890. Four years later my Grandfather John (Giovanni) and his brother Joseph, a violin builder, formed a company in 1894. (A generation earlier the family was building string instruments in Italy under my Great-grandfather Francesco).
In the United States, in 1890, they started in a combination music store and instrument shop located at 161 Bowery, and at one point 200 & 201 Grand Street in New York City. In the early 1920's they employed 55 people, building thousands of ukuleles as well as mandolins, banjos, guitars and some violins (built by Joseph). If it had strings on it the Favilla brothers built it.
About 1930 they moved the shop briefly to 552 Myrtle Avenue in Brooklyn, NY, then to 4 W. 16th Streeet in New York City where the shop remained until 1959 when it was taken over by my father Hercules (known as Herk) after a tumultuous ten year internal struggle with his brother Frank (a brilliant builder but not a businessman).
In 1959, Herk received full control from the family and changed the name to Favilla Guitars, Inc. He quickly moved the shop to larger quarters at 57 Front Street, Brooklyn, where he remained until 1962. I joined the firm full time in 1962 (I had been working after school and in the summers for my Grandfather since 1957). In late 1963 Herk made a major move to 60 Smith Street in E. Farmingdale, Long Island, quadrupling the size of the shop.
Production hit a peak of about 3,500 guitars a year. Then by 1967 the rapid rise in popularity of the electric guitar financially strapped the company and it had to retrench. Not having the financial backing to produce an electric guitar line in volume, the company began to down- size. By 1973 commercial production ceased.
In 1975, I opened a guitar store in Huntington, NY. My father and I built a few custom guitars a year until 1980 when Herk retired. I continued building a few guitars a year until 1985 when other business matters took up more of my time. In January 1986 I sold the retail operation and ceased all building.
In later years (after 1945) our instruments followed a rather basic model number pattern. Classic guitars started with the letter "C" and steel string guitars with "F". Then came the model number, generally 5, 6, or 8. Custom models were numbered 9 and 10 (never more than 12 built in any given year). A special model was the 12 string guitar, model F12H, about 60 per year were built from 1962 to 1973. The "H" designation after the model number was for the dreadnaught body size, actually a little fuller than that represented by the Martin D series. Its six string companion was the popular model F-8H which was rated equal to the Martin D-18.
Over the years there was a close relationship between the Favilla family and John D'Angelico and James (Jimmy) D'Aquisto. John and Jimmy (who was John's apprentice in the 1950's) were truly the Stradivari of guitar builders. They are gone and I have seen no one who comes near them in artistic talent in eliciting such shear tonal quality. As Jimmy D'Aquisto once said, "A lot of good cabinetmakers out there but no artists". A lot of people making nice looking instruments but not the superior, great sounding ones.
Every day I find beautiful guitars in the background of the small music store that I bought after the owner decided to retire. This guy, Mr. Karo Smith (named after the syrup) is between 85-200 years old. If I believe even 10% of his "recollections" about guitars, guitar players, thieves, and other rogues, then he is closer to 200 than 85. His start in the guitar business, according to him, came after he bought a "load of coffins" back in the summer of 1940 down in southern Georgia. He was 15 and ready to do anything to get out of the tobacco field. A man came through the town next to him with a wagon loaded with pine coffins that he had just built. He was planning to go up north to sell them but his mule had hobbled and he had decided to shoot him so he wanted to sell the wagon and the coffins on it for $2.00. Karo make a quick decision to go into the coffin business and went straight back to his granddaddy's house and stole $1.50 from him and enough chickens to sell to get the rest. Once the deal was done, Karo made a second deal to buy the hobbled mule for another 25 cents with payment due in two months when he got home. Karo headed north with the mule, Pres. Roosevelt-named so because his owner considered the new President and the mule both to be real asses. As Karo then tells the story, he went all the way through Georgia, S.C., and part of N.C. without sell a single coffin. He says "it was hot that summer, won't nobody dying". Finally in a small N.C. town, he gave up and offered the mule, trailer, and coffins for trade for the first thing somebody brought to him. That first thing was a guitar that a widow woman brought to him. Her husband had just died and she needed a coffin so she got a load of them for a guitar. Karo doesn't remember the name of that first guitar but he swears it was a Martin. He sat right down in the street and started playing that guitar. Soon a fellow came along who was passing through with a carnival who took him to be a real musician and hired him on the spot to play music for his "hootchie coo" show. Karo took right to that job and to the star of the show, Miss Camellia. After a few years on the road travelling through the south, Karo and Miss Camellia settled down in a small town in the western Virginia. He converted to Primitive Baptist and started preaching and playing guitar in a small wood church there. After a while, he started selling guitars, mandolins, banjos etc. that were made by local folks. Then he went on from there and ended up with a store that soon had people coming from "up north" to buy his stuff. Enough of the story. Just to let you know that Karo has retired and I've bought all of his stuff that I will be selling on ebay. He has agreed to help me sort it out. Some of it is old stock, some are repairs not picked up by owners, and a whole lot more. But his business was not a country boy store that his story would lead you to believe. He was smart, very smart so do not be surprised when you see the quality of this stuff. Buying, selling, and trading was his passion and his stock of over 200 guitars (and pieces of guitars) shows that. For the past 20 or so years, his grandson, "Jetson" ran the shop (straight to hell according to Karo). About two years ago, Jetson got a job as a "underwear sniffer" as Karo calls it. He works for TSA at an airport in DC. You'll see evidence of this "tragic period" in Karo's life in the guitars that Jetson got in on trade (he also took in a two legged dog, a "customized riding lawnmower with a portable beer fridge on the back, and several other useless and unidentifiable objects of disdain. This is going to be fun for me and you. Thanks.

Defense Helps Build Tar Heels Into WinnerNovember 27, 2013 at 10:18 am
Eighty, as in the number of points the Tar Heels scored in Saturday's 80-20 win over Old Dominion, is remarkable to be sure.

Imagine being convicted of a crime you didn't commit.
A Wyoming man knows just how that feels and he holds former Tea police chief Brian Ketterhagen responsible.
A jury convicted Troy Willoughby of murder and sentenced him to prison.
Willoughby served three years before it was revealed Ketterhagen and two other investigators withheld evidence.
Willoughby was found not guilty in a second trial.
Willoughby's lawyer Ian Sandefer says according to the law, law enforcement is supposed to turn over evidence, even if it's in the defendant's favor.
"They know that. it's not unclear to law enforcement. In this case, Brian ketterhagen, that he had an obligation to turn it over. Statements are made by him as well as Hanson and brew, when they were talking about what they should do, they said 'well, let's just keep out mouths shut and maybe they'll never find this stuff,'" Sandefer said.
Sandefer said his client would have spent the rest of his life behind bars had it not been for what he called, a noble officer who was willing to come forward and do what's right.
That was Deputy Lance Gelhausen. Court documents state Gelhausen sensed something was wrong and recorded the investigators conversations.
We reached out to the Wyoming state attorneys generals office who is representing Brian Ketterhagen, to hear his side of the story.
Senior assistant attorney general Tom Rumpke says he can't comment on an ongoing investigation.

What you can't measure, you can't control. That adage may not be universally true (I can measure my two-year-old godson but can't control him), but it's certainly apt when you're talking about bringing greater energy efficiency and eco-friendliness to your IT operations. In a nutshell, if you don't know how much power your IT gear consumes nor how much CO2 it produces, you're going to have difficulty coming up with a strategic plan to reduce either.
That's one of the points emphasized in a recently released report from Forrester titled "Is Green IT Your Emperor With No Clothes?" In it, author Doug Washburn and his associates urge organizations to measure "their green IT baseline — an annual estimate of the energy consumption, carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, and financial costs of operating IT."
[ For more tips from Forrester on developing a smart sustainable-technology action plan, please read "Strategic steps down the green IT path." ]
In the report, Forrester provides some relatively simple equations to help organizations figure out how much electricity they're using per year to run their various IT systems, as well as how much it costs and how much CO2 it creates. (I easily built a spreadsheet containing the various equations, and I'm certainly not an Excel wiz.)
First, Forrester says that you need count up all your IT equipment, outside the datacenter — including PCs and laptops, peripherals, and telephony gear — as well as inside, which would encompass servers, storage and networking gear, CRAC equipment, PDUs, and lighting. Doing an inventory of all your IT assets in this way is a good practice in general; it can help you find machines that are plugged in but doing little to no actual work. (McKinsey and Company reported earlier this year that on average, distributed systems in datacenters run at only 5 to 30 percent capacity.)
Once you know how many computers, servers, switches, and so forth you have, the Forrester report says that you should figure out the energy draw in kilowatts for each type of equipment. That might seem like a difficult task. How do you measure it? Well, you could ask the manufacturer and hope they give you a figure that accurately reflects your usage of said asset. Alternatively, you could measure it for yourself.

Blue Tango Lyrics - Hank Snow
Here I am with you, in a world of blue,
While we're dancing to the tan-go we loved when first we met.
While the music plays, I recall the days,
When our love was a turn that we couldn't soon forget.
As I kiss your cheek, we don't have to speak,
The vio-lins like a choir ex-press the de - sire,
We used to know, not long ago.
So just hold me tight, in your arms to - night,
And the blue tan-go will be our mem - o - ry of love.

text: This is a must have for anyone into speed/death metal. When this album was released it received some scathing reviews from journalists who had never heard anything heavier than Bon Jovi or Motley Crue, but those of us who enjoy true heavy metal fell in love with it. Unfortunately Rick Rozz left Death shortly after "Leprosy" was released, so this was the only Schuldiner/Rozz collaboration; that is a shame, because heavy metal doesn't get any better than this.

The search for a permanent superintendent for Marlborough is set to kick off tonight as the School Committee reviews three companies who are vying for a contract to help the district find a candidate.
The equation is simple, said Interim Superintendent Steven Dlott, and it includes more superintendent positions than there are individuals looking for the position. The solution he gave to the school committee was to begin their search as soon as possible.
Dlott said at last week's committee meeting that a vote could occur for the committee as soon as tonight if they feel they have enough information.
The search is the result of the resignation of former Superintendent Anthony Pope in July. His resignation followed months of controversy and cost the district $99,000.
Pope's decision to first suspend and later fire Marlborough High School Assistant Principal Adam Bakr angered many students. Student efforts to have him returned to the school were successful. Pope's reaction to the student protests led to a host of complaints against him for unprofessional behavior and resulted in an allegation of assault from a faculty member.
Marlborough's teachers also took a vote of no confidence against Pope. The Marlborough Educators Association also claimed intimidation by him. At one committee meeting, teachers and parents lobbied the committee to fire Pope in order to get the district back on track.
The committee voted to have Steven Dlott serve as an interim superintendent for the school year. His efforts have been publically praised by the committee.
The meeting will be held at 6:30 p.m. at the district education center.

Causes of Pterygium
UV radiation (usually from sunlight) is the most common cause of pterygium. This explains why pterygium occurs with increasing frequency in climates approaching the equator. Other causes include continuous exposure to dry, dusty environments. People who spend significant time in water sports are particularly susceptible to pterygium because of the intense exposure to UV that occurs in these environments. Preventing Pterygium
The best method of preventing pterygium is to regularly wear UV 400 rated sunglasses when outdoors in sunny conditions. Treating Pterygium
In mild cases, pterygium redness and discomfort can be controlled with lubricant eye drops. When vision is affected by progressive growth of a pterygium, surgery is considered. History of Pterygium Surgery
In pterygium surgery, the abnormal tissue is removed from the cornea and sclera. Over the years, pterygium surgery has evolved significantly, and modern pterygium surgery has a significantly higher success rate than conventional surgery. In traditional "bare sclera" pterygium removal, the underlying white of the eye (sclera) is left exposed. Unfortunately, the pterygium may grow back in up to 50% of patients. In many cases, the pterygium grows back larger than its original size.
Over the years, surgeons have used several different techniques to lessen the likelihood of pterygium recurrence.
Most cornea specialists today perform pterygium surgery with a conjunctival autograft because of a reduced risk of recurrence. In this technique, the pterygium is removed, and the cornea regains clarity. However, the gap in the mucous membrane tissue, where the pterygium was removed, is filled with a transplant of tissue that has been painlessly removed from underneath the upper eyelid. Although the procedure requires more surgical skill than traditional surgery, this "auto-graft" (self-transplant) helps prevent re-growth of the pterygium by filling the space where abnormal tissue would have re-grown.
Stitches on the eye frequently cause discomfort, however, after pterygium/autograft surgery. The desire for a quicker, more painless recovery has led to the development of no-stitch pterygium/autograft surgery. No-stitch Pterygium/Autograft Surgery No-stitch pterygium/autograft surgery allows most patients to return to work within one or two days of surgery. A research study on 85 patients with pterygium conducted at Harvard Eye Associates has shown that patients undergoing no-stitch surgery had significantly less pain after surgery than those having traditional surgery. The no-stitch technique also reduced surgery time from an average of 21 minutes to 14 minutes. No pterygium recurrences were found in any patients in the study.Technique for No-stitch Pterygium/Autograft Surgery

There have been a few instances where the 2013 Stanley Cup playoffs have featured lopsided competition. Thursday night was one of those times.
The Pittsburgh Penguins kicked off the night's slate of games with a 4-0 victory over the New York Islanders in Game 5. Pittsburgh received solid goaltending from Tomas Vokoun, which has propelled the team to a 3-2 series lead heading back to New York.
The Ottawa Senators compiled the largest margin of victory for Thursday, as the team eliminated the Montreal Canadiens from the playoffs with a 6-1 win. With the injury-depleted Canadiens backed by goaltender Peter Budaj, the Senators registered four unanswered goals to become the second team to advance to Round 2.
The Chicago Blackhawks became the third team to advance to the semifinal round after completing a 5-1 win over the Minnesota Wild.

The Miami Dolphins continue to break my heart over and over again with their choices in the draft. They continue to burn valuable draft picks on perennial losers on the NFL level. Especially in the second round with their QB selections. There is one fact about a QB and the NFL. You need to take a QB in the first round, or get them in the 6th, or 7th round, that is the bottom line. Let's take a look at the starting QB's in the AFC and where they were drafted.
AFC East
Dolphins - Chad Henne - Second Round
Jets - Mark Sanchez - First Round
New England - Tom Brady - Sixth Round
Buffalo - Ryan Fitzpatrick - Seventh Round
AFC West
Kansas City - Matt Cassel- Seventh Round
Denver - Kyle Orton - Forth Round Now beat out by - Tim Tebow - First Round
Oakland - Jason Campbell - First Round Now - Carson Palmer - First Round
San Diego - Philip Rivers - First Round
AFC North
Steelers - Ben Roethlisberger - First Round
Ravens - Joe Flacco - First Round
Bengals - Andy Dalton - Second Round
Browns - Colt McCoy - Third Round
AFC South
Texans - Matt Schaub - Third Round
Titans - Matt Hasselbeck - Sixth Round
Jaguars - Luke McCown - Fourth Round beat out by - Blain Gabbert - First Round
Colts - Payton Manning - First Round - Due to Injury - Curtis Painter - Sixth Round
In the AFC there are two second round picks starting for their teams. The Dolphins are horrible, and the Bengals might have a starting QB for years to come in Dalton. Most teams that are having success in the AFC have drafted their QB's in the first or sixth round, but let's look at this list more in depth. On this list we have two first ballot hall of famers in Payton Manning and Tom Brady. One was drafted in the first round the other in the sixth round. Payton Manning was able to live up to all the hype that was put on him as the number 1 pick overall, and when he retires will go down as a top 5 quarterback of all time. In my opinion he is the greatest of all time, but I understand if people want to put him further down the list. Tom Brady came into the league in the sixth round and a huge chip on his shoulder. He too will go down as a top five quarterback, and built that legacy on wanting to prove to everyone that they were wrong by not drafting him in the first round.
Let's go to the next tier of QB's in the AFC. One is an all pro, and the other one is just below that level. Phillip Rivers if he continues to pass the way he does will make it into the Hall of Fame, and Ben Roethlisberger might make it in the hall of fame if he wins another super bowl (I don't think he belongs there). Both were drafted in the first round, and both are winners. Hasselbeck has proven that he can win, and he was taken in the sixth round. As a starting QB Matt Cassel has double digit victories two out of his three seasons (0 wins in the playoffs). I think Ryan Fitzpatrick is showing he can start in the league, and both were drafted in the seventh round.
In the last 11 years 15 QB's have been drafted in the second round, and five are staring in the NFL. Drew Brees is by far the best of this bunch. He is trying to make a case to be in the hall of fame, and I think he will get there. In my mind Kevin Kolb and Henne are backups for life. They are good enough for when you're starting QB goes down for four games to go 2 - 2. Tavaris Jackson shouldn't be starting or a number two on any roster, and the verdict is out on Andy Dalton.
In the same time frame 30 QB's have been drafted in the first round and 19 are starting in the NFL. One that was drafted in the first round and is not starting is Chad Pennington and he was a legit starter as well, and if not for his injuries would be the Dolphins starter. With these numbers you have a 26 % chance of your QB starting in the NFL if they are drafted in the second round, and a 66% chance of the QB starting if they are drafted in the first round.
Also in the last 11 years 20 QB's have been drafted in the 7th round and only two are starting, but a 7th round pick is worth nothing compaired to a second round pick. A 26% shot on a second round pick is a bad gamble. A 10% shot on a 7th round pick is a good bet. Miami needs to stop waisting their picks in the imprtant rounds. If you are looking for a QB you need to draft him in the first round. A good way to get a solid back up is to choose a QB in the 7th round every year and it won't hurt your team. Unlike taking a QB every year in the second round. Here are a few guys they have missed on by burning their second round picks on QB's.
2007 we picked Beck three picks later Lamarr Woodley went to the steelers. Would have been a great fit for the Dolphins
Also same Draft Ryan Kalil starting Center for Carolina. So this year they wouldn't have picked a center.
2008 Rather than Henne they could have picked Terrell Thomas. CB granted he is hurt this year, but he has been solid for the Giants. Jamal Charles or Tom Zibokowski.
2009 Rather than White they could have picked Max Unger Center, or LeSean McCoy RB
These are players that were valued around the pick the Dolphins chose their QB's they waisted these picks.
This is for all the suck for Luck people out there, if the Dolphins get a pick in the top twenty this year they have a chance to upgrade the QB position. Luck is obviously the best QB prospect, but Barkley, Griffin III, Nick Foles, and Landry if they all come out are legit starters in the NFL and should be drafted in the first round. You could get one of those 5 with the 25th pick so stop being so narrow minded by only looking at Luck. The team needs to play their best, and if that means they are the worst and the number 1 pick is ours then so be it, but we should never root for the team to lose. Look at GB they played their best and landed Aaron Rogers that worked out great for them. Same with the Pats when they landed Brady, and so on.
Let's get behind the Dolphins, and see if they can salvage any type of a season. If not they have a shot for Luck, but remember this what goes around comes around, and I would hate to see the Dolphins lose the coin toss to Indy because of Karma.

We have a follow up on the Clyde Childhood Cancer Cluster.
As we first told you yesterday, attorneys for Whirlpool Corporation and the family that now owns the old Whirlpool Park will meet next week.
Both sides are working to reach an agreement for more testing at the site where the EPA discovered high levels of PCB's and other toxic chemicals.
13 ABC's Christine Long is in Green Springs with more of her exclusive TV interview with a Whirlpool executive. Plus, for the first time we're hearing from the current owners.
The owners are a father-son duo. The son Jonathan Abdoo bought the old park from Whirlpool Corporation four years ago planning to build his dream home.
What was supposed to be a simple real estate transaction has turned into a battle with the largest employer in the area to make sure the site gets cleaned up to residential standards. Abdoo's attorney says anything less would be inappropriate.
His attorney says Abdoo doesn't have unlimited money to do the toxic clean up himself so he has a moral obligation to stay involved and not sell back to Whirlpool.
The Abdoos thought they were getting a clean property when they bought the old Whirlpool Park in Green Springs back in 2008 to build a family home.
Now they're scared that site could be the common link as to why so many kids in the area are getting sick.
"When he discovered that there was contamination on his property, he said, oh my gosh I hope this is was not connected to the Clyde Cancer Cluster. But then as we thought about it more, in some ways we almost hope that it is because if it is the cause then it can maybe be taken care of and no one else gets hurt," says Tom Bowlus, attorney for the current property owners.
Whirlpool bought the property back in 1953.
Jeff Noel, Corporate Vice President for Whirlpool, says the company hired several independent contractors back then to build the new fields, bleachers, basketball and tennis courts, and upgrade the pool.
"All of our records show that we never put any type of contaminants or items found on that particular piece of ground," says Noel.
Before allowing the company back on the site to do testing, the Abdoos want Whirlpool to commit to clean it to residential standards, which are higher than commercial-industrial.
"Different uses of the property need different levels of protectiveness as far as the clean-up standards go," says Bowlus.
But so far it appears Whirlpool is not committing to residential.
"If there were items that were placed on that site during our ownership even if they weren't placed there by us, we're going to clean it up. We're going to pay for the clean up, we're going to do it according to industry standards," says Noel.
Both sides sit down next week to try to hammer out an agreement.
"We're optimistic we'll get an agreement coming out of that meeting to get access to the property," says Noel.
"If they're not going to commit to cleaning it up to the appropriate level, then that's going to be a deal killer for us," says Bowlus.
New software will allow radar to scan storms near ground every 2 minutes instead of 4.

I can't wait to hear all about it - thanks SO much for taking the time to do this! -- CatherineJohnson - 06 Feb 2006
oh gosh - I have to add the Sentence Combining books. I think they're incredible. Smartest Tractor - any thoughts? -- CatherineJohnson - 06 Feb 2006

THANKS for posting the solution key here! I got your post sent into Ed Wahoo — -- CatherineJohnson - 14 Feb 2006
I am on practice three of the first section. The kids are very successful at the practice questions. It is nice to discuss with the class how the sentences are divided. A solution page is attached below. pdfs - The solution pages are done in Word. I use tables to keep everything in Type A order. I use MathType? to create the equations. I "print" them using Acrobat Distiller. The files below for Step Up to Writing are done in Mind Manager and then "printed" with Arcobat Distiller. -- SmartestTractor - 14 Feb 2006
Catherine -- You are on a Mac with 10.x, if I recall correctly, so you can save any document to PDF. I'm at work on a PC (vs at home on my Mac), so I forget whether it's a "print" option or a "save as" option, but I think it's a "save as" option. Whichever it is ("print" or "save as"), the dialog has a "Save to PDF" (or maybe "Save as PDF") button that allows you to create PDFs from whatever application you're in. For those of you on Windows PCs who don't have Acrobat Distiller, there is a nifty little app called CutePDF that installs itself as a printer. So you select "print" and choose the CutePDF? "printer", which will give you a dialog in which to provide a filename for the PDF. -- GoogleMaster - 14 Feb 2006
Sentence composing - the kids don't hate it. No overt groans when I utter get out your sentence composing notebook. I have attached a sample below below. I project a unhighlighted copy on the screen and we work through the example together. I highlight, yet another fun feature of Word, the chunks of the sentence. -- SmartestTractor - 21 Feb 2006 Back to: Main Page.

Hunter Hayes's "Wanted" remains at the top spot on this week's country songs chart. But the ACM-nominated singer had better watch out for Blake Shelton, whose "Sure Be Cool If You Did" is fast rising up the charts, moving from #4 to #2. Also stomping on the gas pedal is Carrie Underwood, whose bad-girl tune "Two Black Cadillacs" rose from #8 to #4. Her other single, "Blown Away," is doing none too shabby either; it madet the jump from #19 to #10. And if you thought you'd seen the last of Taylor Swift, think again. The country-pop chanteuse has two songs -- "Begin Again" and "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" -- which are among the week's big chart movers.

Speak of the devil, and the devil appears. The devil in this case is Taylor Swift. Her new album Red returns to the top spot among country albums after some touch-and-go competition from new albums by Gary Allan and Tim McGraw. Seventy-one weeks into its release, Hunter Hayes's debut is still performing in the top tier, at #3, two spots above last week. His new Live EP is also performing well -- skyrocketing from #62 to #30. Likewise the Grammy-nominated Time Jumpers had a good week, leaping from #54-#38.

1220 Tasting Notes
Buying the iced tea tumbler was the smartest thing I ever did! This was the tea of the day along with Bear Trap the other day, and while I went in intending to load up on Bear Trap (which, with a little bit of agave, tastes just like candy), I took a sip of this and had to try it. I am so glad I did. Hot, I found the hibiscus was too much for me, but iced….it was glorious. And while I prefer to cold steep here at him, I can totally see the merits of making the tea double strong and then icing it. The hibsicus doesn't have nearly as much time to contemplate world (and tea) domination. This is one I can definitely see myself returning to.
I went through all of my matchas with my sister in law yesterday and gave her samples of quite a few. I also made us both a caramel apple matcha using this and Red Leaf Tea's green apple matcha. She had hers hot while I had mine cold with vanilla soy milk….yum. Matcha lattes are amazing, I'm going to have to experiment more. I just placed an order for several of their new matchas, so keep an eye out for more reviews!
This was one of the two teas of the day for today, and when I stopped in this morning, this was the only one they had ready, so I snagged two tumblers of it. You see, when the iced tea promotion started, it was a day when the office was wretchedly home 30-40 degrees C, and I had forgotten any kind of drink at home. So when I went on a tea run, I bought two of the iced tea promo tumblers to get me through the day. Now I keep them at the office. I've almost made friends with a couple of my coworkers and let them know that they're welcome to use them as long as they wash them when they're done, so these suckers have seen a lot of mileage already, and they're not even a week old!
Anyhoo, I had this without any kind of sweetner and it wasn't bad! I did find myself craving something sweet in it, but that's okay. It was still a cup full of mapley goodness on its own. Definitely one I would return to.
I wasn't expecting to like this, I'm not a huge pina colada fan. But I was happily surprised at how good it was! I cold brewed it and it got me through a few days of brutally hot temps at the office. I think I need to get more of this! The girls told me it tastes like pineapple juice and it really, really does. Yum.
I got 25 g of this and used it all to cold brew a pot of this. It was good, juicy and light, but ultimately I had to use 25 g to make a pot and it just didn't wow me enough to be worth the amount of tea I had to use.
Yeah, I've noticed that you have to use a LOT of it if you really want it to taste good; and being heavier means it's less tea at a more expensive price so it's really not a Stock Up On tea for me. :/ Nice as an iced snack in store, but that's about it.
I haven't done a cost comparison, but I'm thinking it's still cheaper per cup than buying juice? Which I would (will) use it as a replacement for.

Austin Hollis hit a 3 with just over 10 seconds remaining that turned out to be the difference as #23 Minnesota held on to beat Iowa 62-59 on Sunday.
The Gophers trailed 59-57 when Hollis hit the shot from the corner on an inbounds play. Iowa turned the ball over on the ensuing possession, and following a couple of Minnesota free throws Hawkeye freshman Mike Gesell was off the mark on a shot that could have forced overtime.
Gesell led the Iowa effort with 11 points. Aaron White and Zach McCabe each added 10 for Iowa (14-8, 3-6 Big Ten).
The loss dropped the Hawkeyes to 9th in the Big Ten.

Stone Creek Dining Company Opens in Hamilton Town CenterTom Britt No Comment
Noblesville, Ind. – The anticipated opening of Stone Creek Dining Company in Hamilton Town Center has arrived. The restaurant opened Thursday, Aug. 7, 2008, in the new Hamilton Town Center Mall, located across from Dick's Sporting Goods.
Stone Creek Dining Company is one of the most innovative new restaurants on the north side of Indianapolis. This is the eighth restaurant in the Cunningham family of restaurants to open in the Midwest in the last 11 years. Other Cunningham restaurants include Boulder Creek, Brownsburg; Café 251, downtown Indianapolis; Charbonos, Avon; and Stone Creek in Greenwood, Plainfield, Zionsville and Cincinnati.
The company, founded by Cincinnati native Mike Cunningham, has seen tremendous growth in the past 11 years. Boulder Creek Dining Company, an upscale, casual restaurant with mountain lodge décor, was the company's first restaurant and opened in Brownsburg in 1997. Following the success of Boulder Creek, Cunningham moved to Avon in 1999 to open Charbonos, which welcomes guests to the Tuscan countryside and serves up ample portions of salads, pastas featuring housemade sauces, tender steaks and wood-fired pizzas. Cunningham then opened his first stand-alone restaurant on the southside in 2003, Stone Creek Dining Company. This new addition blended the casual elegance of Charbonos with the hearty warmth of Boulder Creek in a more contemporary setting. The menu was a chance to experiment and features a wide variety of sandwiches, salads, seafood, pastas, steaks, chops and chicken. The restaurant was such a success, that Stone Creek Plainfield soon followed in 2005, Stone Creek Zionsville in February 2007, and Stone Creek Montgomery, located in Cunningham's hometown of Cincinnati, in August 2007.
The Cunningham's are excited about their most recent endeavor in Noblesville.
"Noblesville is a thriving area with tremendous growth and I am excited to be a part of it," said Managing Partner Mike Cunningham. "This is our eighth restaurant in Indiana and is the best yet. Shoppers will now be able to enjoy steaks, pasta and fresh seafood in a great atmosphere, finished by our award winning Cranberry-Golden Raisin Bread Pudding."
The restaurant will be open for lunch and dinner daily and will offer private dining facilities for special occasions with friends and family or important meetings with colleagues or clients. The restaurant also provides off-premise catering. Hours are Monday–Thursday 11 a.m.–10 p.m.; Friday–Saturday, 11 a.m.–11:00 p.m.; and Sunday, 11 a.m.–9 p.m.

because it's still very much an open question. For something like a
file server you can cap the basic performance in terms like "should be
able to saturate GbE on such a machine and should correctly implement
these RFCs." But for more human tool like a version control system the
basic measurement is how much it improves the productivity of
developers, which is pretty much unbounded.
While not directly putting down Subversion or svk, he
does do a good job refereeing the debate between Tom Lord and the
subversion developers, and bringing up personal use cases where tla
works better for him. He clearly has a bias towards distributed version
control, even for his solo developer projects.
[via Talli, who dislikes SVK+subversion and wanted to point me to a co-disliker. ]
FWIW, MP also wrote the original wiki code for diamond wiki, which I use for my faceted virtualization wiki. Facets are pretty cool for comparative wikis -- check it out.
Have you had good experiences using distributed version control for solo projects? Any luck using SVK on Windows?

I've followed this World Baseball Classic all over the web reading article after article and tweet after tweet. And there is one thing that seems to stand out, which Jeff Passan said best, "Major League Baseball promotes the WBC as an entity to spread the game internationally. Turns out we're the ones with a thing or two to learn."
Passan wrote an article calling American fans boring. I couldn't agree more.
Let me preface this by saying I've spent the last three years living in baseball crazy South Korea. Here they dance, cheer, sing, and beat their thundersticks (which they came up with) no matter what the score is in the game.
Throughout the Classic there has been a lot of, as Passan puts it, "bellyaching and bitching about the horns and flag-waving and general enthusiasm that emanates from the fan bases of Latin American teams" And it's not just the Latin American fans. You could include the Asian Fans in that as well. The US fans just haven't seen them in person yet.
But why are we "bellyaching and bitching"? We should embrace it and take from it, not just that it's okay to actually cheer, that it's okay to have fun. So much of watching a game back home in the US is either yelling at your own guys because they did something wrong or yelling at the other team because, well, they aren't your team.
Baseball is more than that. We usually sit and wait for the big play to stand up and cheer. Why? Why can't we stand up and cheer at any point in the game? It not only breeds excitement in the stands, but it breeds excitement on the field and the players feed off of that.
Our society as a whole is too worried about 'showing someone up'. When you stand at home plate and admire a long home run you are showing someone up. When you are cheering for your team and you show emotion you're not.
Maybe it's not considered 'politically correct'. I'm here to tell you that being "PC" will be the downfall of the West.
Baseball is an emotional game. So let's see some of that emotion. Don't hold it in. Let it out.
And why are so many people not on board with the WBC? Time after time I've seen from a so-called "baseball fan" and even a lot of reporters that cover the came that they just can't get into it. I don't get it.
This has been some of the most exciting baseball played in a long time. There are so many interesting story lines, upsets, Cinderella stories if you will, yet so many people can't get behind it at all.
They say it's boring. That just means you haven't watched any of it.
They say the games don't matter, yet worry about their team in spring training. I can't even begin to point out the irony there.
I think we would all like to see the best players in the tournament. But if we are all sitting here saying it doesn't matter, why should they play? We need to express just how much it does matter to them. Then they will be more inclined to play. But we are never going to get there with all of the negative talk about why this thing doesn't matter.
Just read the comments of Passan's article. They complain about him, baseball, the tournament, and the players. Some of them are so misguided it's not even funny. Since when does football have "unrelenting action"? You watch a football game for three hours and they actually play for what 15 minutes? Since when is that "unrelenting action"?
Of course most of the ones that make the really bad comments can't even post under their own name. There are a lot of trolls on the internet. But there are a lot of fans that seem to be misguided and that is not good for the game.
If so many people are concerned about their team, why can't they see the bigger picture? This tournament helps the game AROUND THE WORLD! In return that only helps the big leagues. Do you really think that this tournament doesn't matter to places like Italy or the Netherlands? Baseball got some much needed exposure in those countries which only helps in the long run.
Perhaps that's the problem with US fans. We are too concerned about what is happening right now to even see the long term effects of the tournament. We are a society that needs instant gratification, but if the fans could only see that this tournament helps their Dodgers or Yankees or Red Sox in the long run maybe they could support it a little more.
As a fan of the game, and a fan of growing the game worldwide, it's frustrating to see so many fans, and at times writers, bash the tournament and say it is meaningless. They just don't get it, but hopefully one day they will.
Keep up the good work Jeff Passan. Even if you write things that many American fans can't stomach.
Edit: I wanted to clarify two points that I have seem to blend together here. Here is point #1
Eric Bynum
Eric Bynum is Managing Editor here at BaseballdeWorld. He spent three years as an ESL teacher in South Korea, and is now working on his master's degree in history with a focus on baseball and WWII. He has played and/or written about baseball for the past 30 years and is an avid Atlanta Braves fan.

When detectives take DNA samples from minors, should parents have to give persmission?
That's the question at least one parent wants answered, according to Fox 40.
Sacramento County Sheriff's Department investigators took DNA samples from Albert Einstein Middle School students last week while investigating the killing of Jessica Funk-Haslam, Fox 40 reported.
Parent Michaela Brown told Rosemont Patch she thinks parents or attorneys should have been present while DNA samples were being taken.
A legal analyst told Fox 40 that's not the case.
"Ideally, you'd want the juvenile's parents or legal guardian there, but the police don't have to have them there to take a DNA swab," Ken Rosenfeld told the station.
Sheriff's department spokesman Dep. Jason Ramos told the station the department doesn't require parental consent.
Rosemont, what do you think? If investigators took DNA samples from your kids, would you want to be asked for permission?

A fellow blogger I have known but never really met in life yet has just flown back and made a grand return to Kuching on Saturday evening. He is Kenneth Leong from www.kenjj.com, another awesome blogger from Kuching, my precious hometown. It was of such great honor meeting him. He has just finished his exams few days ago, and already we started making plans for the meet-up. On the very day he came back from Miri, arriving Kuching at 6 something in the evening, we somehow managed to see each other with a group of other friends before 8 that very same evening. Call it an insane rush, huh !!!
KENNETH LEONG from www.kenjj.com
We met up at Star Cineplex. What movie did we watch you ask? Bond. James Bond. It was so and so I guess, but I liked the way the make some progressional changes in the 007 trend, this time with less futuristic-oh-so-unbelievable gadgets and technologies and more to the traditional spy-detective feel with just gun and wits. And of course, the addition of real romance is a complete failure.
The only one "boleh-tahan" cinema in Kuching...
Weird Decor for a cineplex... really weird..
While waiting for Kenjj's Grand Arrival, I walked around the Cineplex, sadly, the one of the two operational cinemas in Kuching. It is situated at the nineth floor, hence I was at just the right height to photograph part of Kuching's night scene. Here is the nice Kuching sight I took to kill time...KUCHING CITY by night....
Famous Sekama KOLOK MEE
Right after the movie we (in a group of 12-13 people or so) went to Jalan Sekama for the famous Kolok Mee. Well, interestingly, I think no one talked about the movie while waiting for/eating their noodles, and it kinda felt like the movie was not worth discussing about. Hmmm, maybe it was not worth discussing about after all. However it was a good opportunity to talk and get to know Kenjj better, upclose and personal. He appears to be an extremely friendly and chatty bloke, full with Kuching charisma and yeah, I guess we all bloggers always have great time meeting each other for the first time !! I would not say its like magic, that would sound so wrong and so ghey.
Kenneth and Robin @ Travillion Kuching
After the session of Kolok Mee, we flew off to Travillion, where the happening spot is on usual Kuching Saturday Nights. There have been quite a number of new places being opened, and oh boy... the entire place was jammed packed with humans from God-knows-where. And like what Kenjj has pointed out.. most of those vultures are underaged kids !! Well, old birds like me would not fancy such life that much, but goodness, kids nowadays are way less innocent anyone can give credit for. What has the world come to nowadays huh? I wonder how their parents keep their eyes on them, and speaking of curfews.. are there any nowadays?
We went home early (if you think slightly after midnight is early, yeah) and I would say, it was a good Saturday night. It was indeed awesome meeting up with Kenneth, and we Kuching bloggers must stand together you know !!! Another round at Bing anytime soon maybe??
Side note: I am so looking forward to meeting with Chloe, Wuching and Merv Kwok. Yeah, they are coming to Kuching soon. Anyone else coming to Kuching?

When Javier 'Chicharito' Hernandez was diagnosed with a concussion on Manchester United's preseason tour of the United States it was hoped that the striker would be back on the pitch sometime in August. That will not be the case though as the Red Devils have confirmed that the Mexican will be out through at least the end of the month. The hope is that he can return at the beginning of September.
Chicharito suffered his concussion in training on June 26 and has not been able to participate in training since. He was the great surprise for United last season, scoring 20 goals in his first season since moving to Old Trafford from Chivas de Guadalajara. The hope was that the 23-year-old would be able to cement his spot up top in the starting XI next to Wayne Rooney this season and while those hopes remain, everything is on hold as he recovers from his concussion.

What caught my eye about this bench was how the crest rail cascades off the middle arch to the open arms. The design elements are formal with a bit of whimsy resulting in the Lutyens bench being an enduring classic. It's a very inviting experience; friends walking by- just have to stop a moment and enjoy a sit.
I built this bench from an article in FWW. You may notice in the following photos that there are two benches shown. The first was a prototype used to work out design and joinery issues. The painted one was bench 2, where the back arch was lowered, stretcher narrowed and back slats attached differently. One inch rods were used for the arm rests.
I used slow set epoxy (30min) for the adhesive and from the prototype, I learned to complete the whole back piece first (crest/seat rails & legs) before final glue up.
Thanks for looking.

Thanks for the kind words.
SimonSKL asked: "What kind of paint did you use to protect the wood from the weather?"
The bottom of the legs received a few coats of epoxy. I spray the bench using Target's EmTech 8800 UniversalClear Sealer and EmTech 6000 Production Lacquer.

I love your interpretation of this classic Lutyen bench. The painted finish gives it a very modern look which I think is great. I want to say that I have seen an ebonized version before but never a white version but both yeild the same result. I somehow find it looks more sculptural when void of wood grain leaving your eye to follow the form and not compete with grain, texture or variations in wood tone. Great job.

I would expect to see that bench at the whitehouse lawn. great job it's a winner with me ..Tom

Post Match Ceremony:
Smith collects the silverware. The crowd erupts, and the party will go into the night in Centurion. And then, the World Cup focus shall resume.
Smith, in his last home series as South Africa ODI captain: "Terrific to sign out with the series. Wicket wasn't easy – we thought 250-260 was a really good total. Yusuf started to middle a few and almost took it away, but we held on. We weren't as aggressive as we wanted to be when Yusuf and Zaheer were going, but otherwise we were pretty good. We have a really good chance at the World Cup. India have handled themselves very well. The crowds have been special."
Man of the series, of which Sid Monga from ESPNcricinfo is one of the adjudicators, is Morne Morkel. "Thank you very much Pretoria," he says. "Things came together for me in Durban, and since then the rhythm has been great. I'm gland we held our nerve when Yusuf was going after us."
Man of the match is Hashim Amla. "Things went well, the pitch was challenging initially. But we did well, we and van Wyk. I am glad I managed to contribute handsomely in the decider. Up and down pitch, with turn and bounce, but good pitch overall. Extremely tight series, it was a nail-biter. Good preparation for the World Cup."
MS Dhoni: "Disappointing series for the batsmen. The bowlers were getting the wickets, and getting the runs too. It was a good pitch, but we kept losing wickets. Most of us got out playing shots. Yusuf can clear most cricket fields in the world. The big learning from this game is to keep wickets in hand for the last ten overs. Conditions at the WC will be very different, but the series gave a chance to test our young batsmen. The spectators have been spectacular through the tour."

Disclaimer: This post is barely about the Lions so please feel free to comment, disregard, or recommend it's immediate removal from POD. I just have to get this off my chest and I've always found this spot to be great therapy when my brain is fried after another Lions game.
For starters, I couldn't be happier that it will be over a week between games. Normally I'm annoyed during a bye week, or the week after the Thanksgiving Day game simply because I'm anxious to get back to football. This time, I need a breather. Like many of you, I suspect, I have a tough time not getting emotionally wrapped up in this team (good or bad). This past Thursday, however, I went WAY over the top and for that I offer my apologies to the Interweb in hopes that I can begin to forgive myself for my actions.
Although I have attended close to 100 Lions games over the years, this past Thursday was the 1st time I've had the privilege to attend the annual Turkey Day Classic. I was stoked, we got down early to tailgate, and the 1st half of football was more than I could have hoped for against the vaunted New England Patriots and the "Why wasn't he this good at Michigan" talents of Mr. Tom Brady. While it was a good crowd, it was nearly impossible to ignore the fact that the Pats fans had come out in droves. After the second half collapse that was taking place it became actually impossible to ignore them. I found myself sitting amongst dozens of Patriots fans and some of them were really starting to grind my gears (to steal a line from Mr. Peter Griffin). It didn't help that I was watching the all out implosion of the boys in Honolulu Blue, and needless to say I was no longer stoked or even in a very "Thanks" giving mood. A group of fans (a family to be specific) happened to be sitting right next to me in the smack dab middle of the row. Although relatively quiet the whole game they were the type of group that simply can't stay in their seats for more than a play or two. You know the type: Mom gets up for sodas, Dad gets up a couple plays later for hot dogs, two plays later the kids gotta go to the bathroom, then on the next play Mom realizes she's gotta go too, and of course it is WAY too much to ask that they coordinate their trips to or from their seats or even god forbid wait for a timeout. Sorry for the rant, but this is an annoyance no matter what event your attending, it doesn't excuse my forthcoming behavior, but people really do need to get their shit together.
It was around the 30th time these people asked me to get up (in spite of being in the middle of the row there must have been a force field in the other direction because they never once went that way) I gave Dad a look, thought better of it and let them through. Literally one play later Mom and Son decide it's time for them to go to and I was once again asked to get up although at this point there was no one sitting in the other direction. Maybe it was the annoyance, maybe it was the magnitude of the slaughter going on down on the field (I haven't seen the Patriots tear apart the locals like that since the 1st Thanksgiving...zing!), maybe it was the much louder more obnoxious Patriot fans screaming in my ear behind me for the last hour, maybe it was the fact that Mom and Son were wearing Patriots jerseys, maybe I'm just a flat out asshole and nothing more. Whatever it was (or combination), I snapped. First I told Son I wasn't moving, when he turned confused to Mom I re-iterated my inability to get to my feet for her. When she started questioning my logic I let her have it like she was the sole reason the Lions were getting their ass kicked, like she was the reason the Lions had two lousy wins all season, like she was the reason Millen was hired, Barry retired early, Ford owns the team, Layne cursed the franchise, even the reason that my bike got stolen back in 5th grade. This was all verbal mind you (not that it makes it less despicable but I would never hit a female), but eventually Mom saw it my way and went the other direction.
The reason for this post, as I mentioned before, is that I am using this for therapy. I know what I did was down right inexcusable, deplorable, disgusting and just flat out ridiculous. Obviously that lady and her poor kid had nothing to do with what was ailing me at the time (other than being annoying with the frequent trips to and from their seats). My verbal tirade did nothing to make me feel better, and in fact probably ruined both mine and their Thanksgiving. So I apologize annoying lady and son, I apologize to the poor people around me who had to witness such a sorry display of humanity, I apologize to all fans who have encountered "that guy" during their attendance of some event, it won't happen again.

I know, I know, I'm so far behind the game. I will be the first to admit my business and self-promotion skills are seriously lacking. I blame a combination of shyness and a lack of time with a hint of cluelessness. Some of my cookie cohorts have found and friended me on my personal facebook page, but I never ever post anything cookie or sweets related there, and these poor folks are forced instead to hear me complain about my neighbor's barking dogs or read about how I'm procrastinating by playing scramble. So at long last, I have a facebook page for the decorated cookie. Please, please "LIKE" me. Don't make me relive junior high.

In the mid 1970's, burned by waxes, frustrated by what was available on the market, Jinous Nouri, a chemist by profession, set out to create the perfect solution for unwanted hair. Unwilling for her two daughters to use chemicals or artificial ingredients on their skin, she decided that this hair remover was going to be different, it was going to be 100% natural as well as beneficial for their young and sensitive skin. Drawing on the rich resources Mother Nature has given us, and on the experiences of ancient hair removal concepts, such as the old method of sugaring, Jinous brought together for the first time Sugar, Chamomile, Lemon Juice, Water and Tea Tree Oil, creating a totally new system for removing unwanted hair.
Wanting to share this revolutionary and remarkable product with other women who were enthusiastic about the movement towards natural and herbal skin care products, in 1990, Jinous introduced MOOM¨ into the market. The unique secret process and the special equipment tailor made to create MOOM¨ maturing over 20 years of research and development, maximizes the benefits inherent in chamomile, lemon, sugar and tea tree oil.
Now we bring the same commitment to quality to our other skin care products.

Braylon Edwards is a free agent no more. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Edwards will sign a one-year contract with the Seattle Seahawks, who released another receiver, Mike Williams, a few weeks ago.
Edwards worked out for the Miami Dolphins earlier this offseason and they reportedly believed he was healthy as he recovered from a knee injury. He spent nine games with the San Francisco 49ers last year, catching just 15 balls for 181 yards.
Edwards had been productive before that, catching 53 passes for more than 900 yards and seven touchdowns with the New York Jets in the 2010 season.
He has a decent shot to make the Seahawks' 53-man roster with Golden Tate, Ben Obomanu, Doug Baldwin, Deon Butler and Ricardo Lockette in place. Given the right situation, he could be productive once again, but the Seahawks still need to figure out who will be the starting quarterback this season.
