The call for papers of EVS28, the 28th edition of the International Electric Vehicle Symposium & Exhibition (EVS28) is already open.
Authors interested in the topics of the event are invited to submit their abstracts online by September 30, 2014.
Following the successful edition of EVS27 organized in Barcelona by AVELE in colaboration with AVERE, the next edition, EVS28 will take place in Korea, 6 - 8 May, 2015. Once again AVERE, as member of WEVA, is actively collaborating in the organization of this 28th edition.
The 2014 edition of the European Mobility Week will be held under the slogan "Our Streets, Our Choice", reflecting the power of citizens to decide how they use urban space (16 - 22 September).
This year's campaign focuses on reallocating our urban areas to be more pleasant and liveable, and by doing so, creating a better quality of life for all inhabitants. Through using more sustainable transport options and reducing our dependence on car, we can reclaim our streets and create cities that are fit for people.
SOLUTIONS is a project funded by the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) of the European Commission in which AVERE is involved as a partner.
SOLUTIONS aims to support the exchange on innovative and green urban mobility solutions between cities from Europe, Asia, Latin America and the Mediterranean. The project brings together a wealth of experience and technical knowledge from international organisations, consultants, cities, and experts involved in transport issues and solutions.
Relevant information regarding this project is published periodically in a newsletter.
In this 8th edition of the Sustainable Energy Europe and ManagEnergy Awards, 342 projects from 31 different countries have been submitted, but only 30 are the nominees of this year's competition.
Five projects for each category of the Sustainable Energy Europe Awards have been shortlisted. One of these categories is "Travelling". Projects in this category aim to improve the mobility of people and goods in energy efficient ways or with the help of renewable energy sources. In addition, five projects have been selected to run for the ManagEnergy Award, dedicated to public authorities and energy agencies at the local and regional level.
Nowadays, the electric vehicle market has evolved with premium manufacturers such as Toyota and BMW starting to emerge in the market.
With the introduction of vehicles developed by these high-end manufacturers, electric cars are beginning to be seen as stylish and aspirational automobiles that just so happen to be more environmentally friendly than their gasoline counterparts. A major shift has happened in the industry by replacing the awkward designs with aesthetically pleasing, desirable cars that people will want to drive.
In june, a new service of hired electric bikes "BiciMad" has started to work in Madrid, Spain.
Madrid is seeking to match cities such as Barcelona, Paris and London by providing hundreds of bicycles for public hire -- with the added feature of electric motors to help ride up slopes.
Although the tecnicians have been struggling with several database problems during the first two weeks of use, the service is starting to work properly.
On the Fast Track to Electric Drive !
EDTA annual conference will be held this year in Indianapolis, winner of the E-visionary Award of EVS27, from 19th to 21th of May.
Don't miss this conference!
EDTA, the Electric Drive Transport Association, together with AVERE and EVAAP, forms WEVA, the World Electric Vehicle Association.
The 30th of March, the summary for policy makers of the Fifth Assessment Report of the IPCC Working Group II (WGII AR5) impacts of climate change was published.
It highlights some important points. The first is that, due to specific climate-related events such as floods and droughts, today, scientists have more certainty about the existence of climate impacts on a wide range of economic sectors. They also point out that these effects occur in all parts of the world.
The European Council held an in depth discussion on the situation in Ukraine. It adopted a strong message of support to Ukraine and agreed on a number of concrete measures in that respect, being the number 20 related to the problem of dependence on gas.
Conclusions from the Council debate between heads of state on 20 - 21 March note that "A coherent European energy and climate policy must ensure affordable energy prices, industrial competitiveness, security of supply and achievement of our climate and environmental objectives" but also that "Efforts to reduce Europe's high gas energy dependency rates should be intensified, especially for the most dependent Member States".
New rules designed from European Parliament to achieve the CO2 emission reduction target of 95g/km for new cars by 2020.
Last tuesday, new rules aimed at reaching the CO2 reduction rate in transport by 2020 were endorsed by the European Parliament. The text retains this target, albeit with a one-year "phase-in" period in 2020. It also allows "super credits", whereby the cleanest cars in each manufacturer's range count for more than others, to apply from 2020 to 2022.

I would think that if you kept your guitar in the bedroom with you the light would keep you awake at night if you used lightning bugs.
.0001% bee parts, can't over due on the mojo mix. I hadn't heard about the lightning bugs are the preferred species for this operation.
Keep in mind, lightning bugs are the preferred species for this operation.
(Shh, secret formula, dont tell anyone.)
Oh yes, I forgot - 10% bug parts - it adds mojo. :>)
I use roughly the same mix that Skeesix uses. I use old candles and beeswax that still has a few bug parts in the mix. I also smelt it at abound 180deg and soaked for 15 min. Then I wipe off excess wax alloy and coat the coil with 5 min epoxy.
80% paraffin to 20% beeswax.
Thanks a lot Skeesix. What ratio paraffin to bees wax do you use?
I've researched using shellac in the past, and the consensus was not to use it due to it not drying quickly and/or completely. I believe this was for dipping the pickup in a container of shellac, not some other method. The other problem is not being able to unwind the coil in the future for repairs without breaking the wires or damaging the bobbin. So I ended up using wax for those reasons, and because it doesn't have fumes.
In production, either wax or lacquer is commonly used. Sometimes you see epoxy. In the old days, varnish was used a lot, and sometimes shellac.
For a home hobbyist, who has more time to let things dry, I think shellac could be worked with. Maybe brushing on a limited amount several times during winding, then giving it time to dry before proceeding.
I think I would use a two pound cut, as a one pound cut is extremely thin and may not bind the wires together.
Here's a thread where they talk about oven drying when dipping shellac: http://antiqueradios.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=83530
Can I use shellac as a potting material? If not, why not? If so what are the pros and cons and do I use a two pound cut?
Yep, that's how you shield them. I do the same.

NORTH FORT MYERS, Fla.- The SWFL Eagle Cam, located at Dick Pritchett Real Estate, will be down for the remainder of the season, following a lightning strike last week. Video from the Eagle Cam has been viewed more than 16 million times.
Camera operators speculate it was hit late Thursday evening by lightning, and have not been able to recover connectivity since. They say once the eagle family, including a mother, father and two eaglets, relocates for the summer months, they will safely fix the camera and prepare for season two.

My husband and I have Samsung Galaxy II phones. I love Visual Voicemail. He HATES it. Now that it is running on his phone, we CANNOT get it off! We called support at T-Mobile and I have tried everything that I know. (Both times when we called support they said that they had shut it off.....but it is still on there!)
He just wants to be able to call in and listen to "New messages". With VV on, all messages automatically go to "Saved Messages", which is what he hates.
You can try uninstalling the app from the phone, that would be my best idea; other than that I'd think only T-Mobile would be able to deactivate it from your account. I looked at the settings under settings > call > and I don't see much there. I also looked under my settings in VVM and don't really see a way to deactivate it. Maybe I'm missing something here, though. I'm kinda perplexed as to why he would prefer calling voicemail to listen rather than just having them listed on a page and being able to click on individual messages to listen to them...
I completely agree - I find it MUCH easier but he adamantly hates it.
It doesn't appear on his Ap list under settings anymore. I don't know if that is because T-Mobile thinks that they have de-activated it or why. They won't let you actually uninstall it because they say it is part of the operating system for the phone.
I just want a "go-back".
Am getting ready to call T-Mobile for round #3. They seem to be trying to be helpful but so far not very.
Sounds like it's something that lots of people are asking. Here are some directions from another thread:
To uninstall preloaded VVM follow the below steps.
1.Select Menu.
2. Select Settings.
3. Scroll to and select Applications.
4. Select Manage Applications.
5. Scroll to and select Voicemail.
6. Select Uninstall.
7. Select OK.
If the VVM does not uninstall the first time remove and replace the battery while the device is still on. Then, follow the above steps again. If the application still did not uninstall, advise the customer that they can disable the application. If this does not work disable the VVM with the following steps:
1. Access VVM application.
2. Select Menu.
3. Select Settings.
4. Select Visual Voicemail Status on check box to disable VVM.
If the application still doesn't uninstall, call customer care at 1-800-937-8997
And you can PM any of the official T-Mobile reps on here and they should be able to help you out if you still can't get it, they're very knowledgeable and way better than the people you'll probably get when you call CC.
Will do.
I hate Visual Voicemail, too. Your husband will absolutely never get another visual voicemail message if he switches to Google Voice. You actually replace your voicemail number with a Google Voice number. The app does it for you on your Samsung Galaxy S2. As for productivity and a business tool, the smartest thing I have done in three years is to switch to Google Voice. The app works flawlessly on the phone, I get notified of missed calls on my PC, I can manage voice mail from my PC, and I get full transcripts of VMs on my phone and through GMail/Google Voice.
Using Google Voice is transparent to you and your callers. In other words, you really don't know you are using anything other than regular voice mail and neither do your callers. The big difference is that you can manage your voice mail from your PC, and it stays with you if you change phones or even carriers. I HATE answering the phone when my tenants call me. I want them to call and leave me a message so i have a record of when they called and exactly what they wanted. I have played back year-old voice mails to my tenants when their tunes changed about what they origianlly called about. It's great.

I had this for lunch the other afternoon and it was amazing- we had ham sandwiches with it. Ham, sliced pineapple, a little more mustard (for me), and some lettuce is all you need. Or, enjoy this bread with some butter for a quick snack or brunch. I haven't made it, but this is the recipe my friend provided, and it looks really easy. She says to only used canned pineapple, not fresh, or else the bread will be mushy. Oh, and I promise there is only a hint of Dijon, so don't get scared!

AP Sports Writer
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- Jeff Saturday is torn.
It was here, in Indianapolis, where he got a legitimate chance to make an NFL roster. It was here he earned five Pro Bowl trips, won two AFC titles and a Super Bowl ring, and became one of the city's favorite players. It is here where he still lives and works, returning after one final NFL season in Green Bay, and it is here where he will always be known for snapping the ball to Peyton Manning.
Choosing sides for Sunday night's showdown between Manning's Broncos and his former team, the Colts, is a real struggle.
"There's a love for your home city because you want them to get the win," Saturday said. "But my friendship with Peyton makes it tough."
Saturday finds himself in good company this weekend as Indy prepares to welcome back the man who turned a basketball town into a football power.
In some ways, it's like Manning never left. The city's northwest side remains the home of Peyton Manning Children's Hospital at St.Vincent. Manning returns each spring to host the hospital's biggest fundraiser.
Downtown there is Lucas Oil Stadium, the house built by Manning and a finalist to host its second Super Bowl. Indy's season-ticket waiting list is at about 8,000, a drastic improvement for a team that spent the first third of Manning's career trying to avoid blackouts almost on a weekly basis.
And there are still plenty of blue No. 18 jerseys at home games, some trimmed in Colts' white and others in Broncos' orange.
Fans here will likely revere Manning forever.
"He changed the culture of football in Indiana. This was such a basketball state for so many years, and the Colts were kind of an afterthought. Watching him go from a kid to who he is now, I just think it will be really neat (Sunday)," said Dom Battinau, who played college football in Indy and now lives with his family in suburban Greenwood. "The fact that we're blessed with Andrew Luck, I think, helps temper that (loss) a little bit. So you want to see him (Manning) throw for 400 yards and seven TDs and see the Colts win because I'm a Colts fan first."
It's a common refrain in Indy even though some interpreted this week's comments from team owner Jim Irsay as a "cheap shot."
The truth is, Irsay understands exactly what Manning meant to this city and franchise, erasing the image of being a league-wide afterthought by making the Colts a perennial Super Bowl contender.
Manning understands, too, which is why he explained during his final news conference in Indy, in March 2012, that the decision to part ways with the Colts wasn't his or Irsay's. It was simply a perfect storm -- Manning was due a $28 million bonus after missing the entire 2011 season with an almost unprecedented injury for a quarterback and Indy had the No. 1 pick and a chance to rebuild with the best quarterback prospect since Manning in 1998.
Fans who didn't want to see him go are eager to see him return.
"A lot of people still root for him, so I think there will be a big pro-Manning presence," said Gary Knight, a 43-year-old season-ticket holder since 1984. "But I'd be surprised if there were any boos."
Collegial reunions of this sort are a rarity in the NFL.
When Brett Favre returned to Green Bay, with the dreaded Minnesota Vikings, Packers fans felt betrayed. Few expect Manning to be treated rudely Sunday night.
Despite the brewing storm over Irsay's comments, which he first made months ago, even the Colts owner doesn't want to hear boos for what he has called the most beloved player in franchise history. A pregame tribute is planned.
"I think you know there's just so much love and affection for him, and when our players come back, we do a tribute on the big screen and stuff, so it's just going to be one of the most exciting and anticipated games in the history of the league and the history of our franchise," Irsay told The Associated Press before training camp. "It's one of those dramatic, just sort of conflicted, anticipated games and I think that's what it's about in sports."
Pro Bowl receiver Reggie Wayne, one of Manning's favorite targets in Indy, isn't conflicted at all. Neither are his teammates, who repeatedly said Wednesday they wouldn't treat Sunday's game as anything out of the ordinary.

November 29, 2014
SCOTIA, N.Y. (AP) - A Federal Aviation Administration spokesman
says a small plane has crashed into New York's Mohawk River with
three people aboard, and at least two have died.
FAA spokesman Jim Peters says the Piper Cherokee went down near
Scotia around 2:30 p.m., shortly after taking off from Mohawk Valley Airport. Scotia is about 20 miles northwest of Albany.
The third person's condition isn't known. Peters says the single-engine plane sank in about 30 feet of water, and divers are searching to see whether anyone else was aboard.
Peters says the plane is registered to Kolath Airlines Inc. of Bear, Del. A woman who identified herself as Kolath's registered agent said she didn't know about the crash and has been unable to contact anyone with the company.

BlackBerry Z30Compare7.5 reviewThe BlackBerry Z30 includes a 5-inch 720p (295 ppi) AMOLED display, the largest of any BB phone, and also the now aging aged Snapdragon S4 Pro with the four CPUs running at 1.7GHz. Blackberry is yet to shed light on whether we're talking about a dual-core or quad-core, though the less potent version seems likely. In terms of memory, you'll find 2GB RAM, with just 16GB of internal storage, though you can expand that via a microSD card. BlackBerry claims that the battery on the Z30, at 2880mAh, coupled with software optimizations, offers 50% more battery life than its current competitors, though manufactures have a pretty shady track record when it comes to this particular bit of hardware, and its actual capabilities. Turning to the camera on the Z30, an increasingly relevant component of the entire package a smartphone offers lately, we're welcomed by a 8MP rear camera with Auto Focus, 5x digital zoom and a an LED flash. The large five element lens with an aperture of f/2.2 mean that the unit will capture a lot of light, resulting in great shots. The snapper, as is to be expected, is capable of 1080p video capture, and comes with what BB chose to call "Time Shift" – a feature that basically allows you to choose and adjust faces from several snaps, so say goodbye to ill-timed shots. In terms of connectivity and extras, the Z30 is anything but lacking – you get GPS, 4G LTE connectivity and Wi-Fi, of course, but also Bluetooth 4.0 LE (low energy), NFC, and the rather nice perk that is a microHDMI port.+ View Specs

The Japanese messaging app Line may be blocked in China, but it's still raking in cash from merchandise based on its cartoon characters at a huge mall in Beijing.
Apple's next iteration of its mobile operating system is all about upgrading what's under the hood.
Messaging apps were the hottest, jumping by more than 200 percent in usage, according to analytics firm Flurry.
The company has not officially decided to adopt a standalone direct-messaging app, but the feature will at the very least become more prominent in its current service.
Verizon becomes the latest carrier to offer an early upgrade plan, Netflix makes Emmy history, and the HTC One shrinks to a Mini version.
According to new data, 19 billion chat messages were sent each day last year, compared to 17.6 billion SMS messages.
The messaging app, which now has 50 million users in total, is rolling out new versions for both Android and iOS.
Microsoft's call app increased its traffic in 2012 by twice the amount of all international phone carriers combined -- it's calls are now equal to one third of all global phone traffic.

PRINCE Rocks Australia, Talks Why Everyone Should Experience "Purple Rain" Live & Madonna
Last night, PRINCE performed an almost 25 minute version of the song he feels everyone should experience live, "Purple Rain", leaving Australian concertgoers in awe.
"Everybody should experience this song in concert at least once in their lives," he told TheFIX. "No one experience is the same."
Even though he hasn't taken the stage in Australia since 2003, he feels this trip will be the best because of his crew.
"These people are sooo much fun! We actually enjoy one another's company and it's reflected onstage every night."
He talks about songs that used to bore him performing. "It used to be 'Little Red Corvette' until we re-worked it into a slow blues," "It's hot now. A good example of song evolution over time. We actually know better what the song is about now."
Hmm. You mean it wasn't about a.....ahhh nevermind.
His favorite live music right now is Lianne La Havas, his guitarist Mr. (Andy) McKee, support act Delilah and Andy Allo. His all time favorite? Bass legend Larry Graham. "He reminds us all of what was great in the past. "Everyone who meets him has the same response. He's a kind man who is always encouraging. After a shred with him you feel like you can conquer anything."
Prince even brought up Madonna, one of the big 3 of music acts from the good ol' days, the 80's, and her success, although different than his. "Every artist approaches this from a different angle," "[Madonna] has actually become quite successful on her own terms.
He even talks proudly of his first and former record label Warner Bros.
"To us, [credibility] is all subjective. I started off primarily as a live performer, who mastered the studio at an early age by actually owning one.
"Warner Bros. granted rights unheard of at the time that allowed us the freedom to produce music unencumbered. Working without a net or a ceiling benefits us greatly. Thus, music became a real job, not a hobby.
Although Prince and Madonna are still around, 2 of the 80's biggest stars, Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston unfortunately, are not.
When asked why he did not have a similiar fate, he asks the interviewer to watch a youtube clip of the author of "Eat, Pray, Love" Elizabeth Gilbert. We provided the video below.
"The music we create supports families and dreams. Both of which are quite big now."

It is going to be a fun and funky night for sure, Montreal.-DocFB
Diagnosis: Oh, Montreal.......
Prince, Stevie, Janelle, After Show, NYC, & North Sea
What a night. Janelle Monae opening for Prince and guesting with him on stage and then......after midnight....Stevie Wonder! The icon took center stage with Sheila E. and Prince to a funky rendition of "Superstition" to the crowd's delight.
Stevie jammed on harmonica and did lead vocals with Prince and Sheila backing him up til Stevie wanted to play and they lead him to the keyboards as Prince played bass. Amazing.
Ahh.. But it wasn't over! Shortly, after 2 a.m., Prince and Janelle Monae took over the Forum club with Shelby and the NPG.
Prince played drums over the track DJ Rashida was spinning to kick it off while the Prince's band and Janelle's got into place.
Shelby was asking the crowd how are they feeling over "Can You Feel It" by the Jacksons. "If you don't wanna party, I'm gonna give you 2 minutes to leave" Shelby said and let them know some "Brown Skin" was going to be happening up in this place.
"Til the sun came up" was the chant Shelby started n it continued almost until that time.
After the chant it led into, "It Takes 2" with a funky bass solo by Ida Neilson. It continued with "Got My Mind Made Up" with Prince on the boards and singing. Prince then went to the far end of the stage as Janelle came up with a cool hat on.
Janelle sings "It's like a river...love is not a fantasy..." very heartfelt.
As Janelle gives it up for the NPG, Prince finds himself behind the boards again as the band kicks into "Stratus" then "Superstition" with Shelby J. on lead vocals. "Brown Skin" is finally unleashed on us.
Deacon Prince asks if sister Monae wants to say anything and she replies "I just want to say I've seen the light." Prince and Morris joke around saying "Amen" and "Hey Man" and then Prince is just cracking jokes left and right like it was about to turn into comedy hour at the Forum.
" Janelle Monae and Stevie Wonder. Stop the presses. Tell me I am not in heaven." is Prince's only reply after what was just laid down. A freestyle from George 2.0 as Janelle Monae and Shelby perform "Outstanding" with Prince smiling and having a good time.
Prince, Shelby, and Janelle leave with chants of "Til the sun came up" ringing through the club.
What a night. Eddie Murphy, Paula Abdul, Taylor Dayne, Sanaa Hamri and others were enjoying the night.
As we were there Prince news was being told to us that we want to share:
Prince will be attending the American Ballet Theatre Gala in NY on Monday. Prince and the NPG recently donated $250,000 to them and it is being reported that the musical directors are in meetings with Prince. We are sure they are not talking bout what their favorite salad is!
Prince will be playing the North Sea Jazz Festival and Poland. All other dates that have been talked about, we cannot confirm with Prince's people. We know we are slow to post shows outside the U.S. but until we get confirmation, we do not like to put the dates out there. We apologize but it is better to be patient with overseas matters and get the correct information.
Hope you understand.
Prince will be returning to Los Angeles after a week in Fresno and San Jose. The dates that will see 21 Nights return is May 27th, 28th, and 29th, for Memorial Day Weekend.
There is going to be more Inglewood swinging and we wonder if any more club shows like what happened at the Troubadour this past week. A Doctor can only hope.-Dr.FB
Diagnosis: Was I really on stage tonight?
What A Night!
OK, so I got my Perry Cherry popped tonight as I went to my first Katy Perry show. Amazing! Mic trouble during the first song but the rest was hot like soup!
More info on that and way more photos later today. Kim Kardashian and Miley Cyrus along with a few others were there. When I look at the pics, will let you know.
After Katy, I went to Kiss n Grind where Questlove, DJ Vicktor, and DJ Rashida were spinning. It was at a place called Church and I understand why they call it that; after parking, you are praying your car is still there when you get back. Chuuuuuurch! Yep, I am preaching. Love to support you guys but wish it was at Avalon or Bardot.
Listen, I need to get a little bit of sleep and hoping no other celeb dies while I take a nap. I sometimes feel I am not running a celeb web site but a celeb death watch lately. Seriously.
See you guys soon and much love to Adam & Michael. Peace.-Dr.FB
Exclusive! Just Dance; Prince's Grammy After-Jam With Whitney Houston
We'd been hoping the rumors were true about a potential 77 afterjam Sunday nite. We got the word last minute: it's on!
As guests like Tyler Perry, Herbie Hancock and Jennifer Gordon (you'll know who she is real soon, trust us) mingled in the kitchen, we heard a few strums of an acoustic guitar around the corner in the ballroom. How cool is this -- a surprise acoustic set with Prince on guitar, Shelby J and Liv Warfield on vocals and tambourine and Frederic Yonnet on harmonica. They opened with "North Carolina," Shelby J.'s theme song. Inside track on this song is that Prince and Shelby are really taking their time about creating classic material before recording Shelby's debut CD. They've dabbled in the studio but after fleshing the tunes out in a live setting, the songs take on a life of their own. Expect big things from this project. The quartet stopped briefly to congratulate a newcomer to the party, Whitney Houston, on her triumphant return to the stage the previous night during the pre-Grammy Bash at the Beverly Hilton.
The room filled up with faces familiar and not, groovin' to "Crimson & Clover", "I'm Going Down" "Long Train Running" and "Kiss" Dance joint of the night tho was "Hollywood Swinging." They just couldn't stop that sucka, no matter how hard they tried. Everyone -- the servers, DJ Rashida , the security, even the housekeepers -- YES everybody was dancing! Nobody outdanced The Twinz' mother tho, who, dressed in white, was auditioning for her daughters' vacated spot.
It seemed like one big family, everyone chill, having fun regardless of background, age, gender, race, social status. None of that mattered. It felt a lot like any Prince concert -- music is the bond that unites us all. Being in a room of totally satisfied people cannot b overstated. It's utter bliss. Try it sometime. Invite your favorite people over and put on some of your favorite music and just dance. Don't even think about it, just dance. Like Holly Robinson, Sanaa Lathan, Chris Tucker, Bria Valente, and her handsome and gracious father, Tyler and Whitney did...just dance.
Sheila E. Glams It Up At The Conga Room
Here it is: Video of Sheila E. & DJ Rashida at the Conga Room Dec. 26th.
Rock? Rock! Holly Rock? Everybody wanna Holly Rock? You know this!-Dr.FB

Prince Likes To Do That Conga
777 9311 Chick Hearn Court has been a popular hang out spot for Prince lately. What? Did you think we were gonna talk about the Miami Sound Machine?
2 Friday's ago, Prince made an appearance at the Conga Room where he checked out Mike Phillips & Brian Culbertson perform after midnight. There were rumors that the funk man was going to perform with the band, but something didn't smell right, don't know if it was my buddies cologne or what, but we knew it wouldn't happen and it didn't but while Prince was in the VIP section, Mr. Hayes from his band "The NPG" did get up on stage and solo.
Then the purple one was seen rooting for KG & the Gang Green of the Boston Celtics against The Dr's Lakers. We may have bounced Kevin Garnett like it was the Wolves in the first....round of the playoffs that is, but something tells me Prince might be celebrating another championship by the former Minnesota player round June.
Last Friday night, Prince returned to the Conga Room to check out the mixings of DJ Rashida & Viktor Duplaix. The crowd was in for a surprise as his longtime friend Sheila E. guested on stage, belting out "The Glamourous Life" and several other songs in the mix. The place was packed and jumping, you woulda thought it was 1984 instead of 25 years later. Truth be told, music n funk that good just doesn't age, it keeps it's freshness long after other songs rise and fall off the charts n out of our hearts. Even Earth Wind & Fire's Philip Bailey got on the stix at one point.
Prince was also seen briefly at Bardot as well over the weekend in Hollywood with Bria Valente who dropped a song on us during that time.
With all that is going on, it sure looks like 2009 is gonna be mighty fine!-Dr.FB
The Stars Come Out For Honey's 2 Year Anniversary
DJ Quick, YoYo, Raekwon, Money B, King Sun, John Singleton & PRINCE was in the house for performances by MC Lyte, Slick Rick & Doug E. Fresh performed while DJ Eque & DJ Rashida spun the old school joints from around circa 1988.
This event took place last Wed. night in L.A. at the Vanguard.
Thanks to our girl Monica sharing the fun and her success.
For a FULL review of the haps, including video, please peep Monica's Blog here.
Thanks again Monica.-Dr.FB

Texas is still big but the Top Chef population has shrunk after the first cuts. This episode is titled "The Heat is On." This summer in Texas was hot. Real hot. And in full drought, but still sweaty, not dry like you'd think. 110 F pretty much everyday. The heat will take its toll this season. You can be sure of that.
Onwards to the episode:
The Bubble Room is already an anxious lot, with Edward leading witty repartee, comparing the room to a prison cell. Edward, thinking the whole thing is a ruse, also imagines a dismal scenario, one in which they are being held in the room but there are no spots left. This Kafkaesque drama is shortly proven to not be the case. But listen up, Magical Elves, I think that may be another reality show….
If Chris McCrary succumbed to the beauty of Padma in the first episode, with some unsettling hyperbole, then Chaz decides to play wingman. Chaz goes so far as to tell us that he had a picture of her up in his locker at school. The creep war for Padma is on.

County Executive Neuman and Fire Chief Cox Announce Changes at Two Area Fire Stations
Changes Will Have Positive Impact on Residents' Insurance Rates
Annapolis, MD (July 25, 2013) – Following the 90-day strategic plan that County Executive Laura Neuman and Fire Chief Michael E. Cox, Jr., announced last month to improve fire protection service, two communities are now seeing results. A top priority in that plan called for the reassignment and addition of personnel to correct a staffing deficiency that led to higher homeowner insurance rates for residents in Galesville, Herald Harbor and Maryland City because those stations were not adequately staffed.
"I asked Chief Cox to see what we needed to do to make this situation right for these communities," said County Executive Neuman, who along with Chief Cox, County Council members Jerry Walker and Jamie Benoit, met with residents to update them on the matter. "I am pleased with the outcome. I want our citizens to know that they have the full force of their government working on their behalf."
In 2007, the Insurance Services Office (ISO), a private firm that analyzes safety and risk, determined that Galesville, Herald Harbor and Maryland City did not have adequate around-the clock-protection for their communities. While each station had two around-the-clock staff, four were needed to meet ISO's requirements; that number has now been met.
With the changes, the County has achieved ISO compliance, which means reduced insurance rates for Galesville and Herald Harbor residents. Meanwhile, the County is working to achieve ISO compliance for Maryland City, which in addition to coverage by Anne Arundel County, has a reciprocal relationship with neighboring Howard and Prince George's counties.

Blueberries and Raspberries
- lollya Jun 3, 2007 11:44 AM
I am a glutton for blueberries. I adore them. I just got my new issue of Cooks Illustrated and am joyously jumping to try the blueberry scones...But I'm wondering what other wonderful recipes may be out there that I am missing, beyond the muffins??? Any salads? Cakes?
Also, I just purchsed a raspberry bush for our yard. Oh, how I wanted the blueberry one, but I'm a first time gardener (outside of pots) and wasn't sure if I had the acidic soil required for them to grow. Thus, a raspberry bush was the second choice (and a good one)....so...if you have any wonderful recipes for raspberries...I'd LOVE them as well.
Chowhounds, my berries are in your hands.
Hope they don't stain em.
Thanks, as always.
I recently made Blueberry Almond Cookies. They were delicious and adored by all. They are light and cakey ... a perfect summer cookie. I dusted Sugar In the Raw on the top for a sugary coating.
Here is the recipe from another posting: http://www.chowhound.com/topics/39709...
re: KrazyB
That sounds lie a really great recipe, thank you Krazy.
Pancakes, because they're so quick and there is so little between you and the blueberries.
Good in Irish soda bread.
Sauce for pork chops--little red wine, some blueberries, a clove, touch of honey if needed, optional finish with butter. A few blueberries go a long way in such sauces.
re: Sam Fujisaka
There's a recipe for berry pancakes on my blog (May). Raspberries are great added to other pies, particuarly apple, and the same combination makes beautiful applesauce. If you like NY-style crumbcake, I like to put a layer of blueberries lightly cooked into a loose preserve between the cake and the crumbs.
re: janeer
oh, i just was at your site yesterday...yay! on my way to check them out.
mix blueberries and raspberries together, along with other seasonal berries or maybe a perfect pink peach (cut into segments) and drizzle with balsamic reduction.
Blueberries are great in coffeecakes, especially recipes with sour cream. I've also seen recipes where you make vanilla custard and pour it once chilled over blueberries, and serve topped with a sprinkling of brown sugar. Blueberry cream cheese tarts are fabulous. I made one for a dinner party years ago and it was a hit. My neighbor asked somewhat abashedly to take home the leftover tart; she liked it so much. The recipe was from the Greens cookbook, if I recall.
re: amyzan
YUM! That tart sounds easy to figure out, I'm going to try it this weekend. Thanks AMY!
re: amyzan
On the epicurious site there is a great blueberry almond coffee cake, that is almost muffin like. It's delicious and easy!
re: SteveInSoCal
That sounds soooo good. I will have to track this one down. I don't own the SPNB book - so I'm on a mission.
re: SteveInSoCal
This recipe is an absolute favorite in my family. Go ahead and make two--it freezes well (if there is actually any left over)
I love the blueberry banana bread I found in Sunset magazine a year or two ago. Great flavor, minor twist on normal banana bread, moist, etc...
here's the link: http://find.myrecipes.com/recipes/rec...
re: adamclyde
OH Adam, you've stolen my heart with this recipe. WONDROUS. banana and blueberry?!?! DELICIOUS!
Blueberry pie is a great summer treat, especially with homemade ice cream. I make this with the wild blueberries from Maine and it is one of our summer highlights.
There's a simple way to use raspberries as a filling for dacquoise (meringue made with ground nuts). You make two dacquoise rounds, whip sweetened cream to soft peaks and sandwich the rounds with the whipped cream and a layer of fresh raspberries. Another dessert that tastes like summer. A simple puree of raspberries with a little sugar or honey tastes wonderful as a sauce on buttermilk panna cotta (just made this a couple of weeks ago).
I have a few blueberry plants and I've just been making small blueberry pies. They are so good with the home-grown berries that I haven't really branched out. If you put the plants in pots in acidic soil, they're quite easy to grow. Rick Rodgers' Kaffeehaus has a recipe for Blueberry Meringue Slices (buttery cake base, blueberries and a soft meringue topping) that looks really good.
re: lollya
You should be able to buy an acid soil at your local nursery -- mine carries acid-loving plant mix (peat moss and pumice) for azaleas, etc. They should be fine in pots over the winter. In fact, my nursery suggests putting them in pots since our native soil (which isn't acidic) won't intefere with growth.
re: lollya
You'd have to ask your nursery -- I'm in CA, so no need to overwinter here. They should be able to withstand freezing temps, though, since they're grown in the NE.
This recipe comes from Chowhound EllenMM- and is really good and really easy. I usually triple the icing section, as the family loves lemon, and loves icing. Great to use in the late summer if you can get your hands on some of the small, sweet Maine blueberries.
2 c. granulated sugar
1/3 c. butter or stick marg., softened
1/2 c. (4 oz) l/3-less-fat cream cheese, softened
3 large eggs
1 large egg white
2 tsps. vanilla extract
3 c. all-purpose flour, divided
2 c. fresh of frozen blueberries
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 (8 oz.) carton lemon low-fat yogurt
Cooking spray
1/2 c. sifted powdered sugar
4 tsp. lemon juice
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Beat gran. sugar, butter and cr. cheese until
well-blended. Add eggs and egg white, 1 at a time, beating
after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract.
3.Coat blueberrries w/ 2 tbs. flour in a small bowl. Combine remaining dry ingred. Add flour mixture to sugar mixture
alternately with yogurt, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Mix in blueberry mixture.
4. Pour batter into a 10-inch tube pan with removable bottom, coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350 degrees
for 1 hour and 15 min. or until a cake tester in ctr. comes out clean.
5. Cool cake in pan 10 min. on a wire rack; remove sides of pan. Cool 15 more min.; remove cake from bottom of pan. Combine
powdered sugar and lemon juice; drizzle over warm cake. Yield: 16 servings.
re: lollya
You will love it. I have gotten so many recipes, techniques and ideas from this site.
re: Louise
oooooh what is SLUMP?
I'm intrigued. Sounds slumpy.
re: lollya
A slump belongs to the family of fruit + sweet dough or batter topping dishes that includes cobblers, crisps, buckles, and pandowdies. A recipe for blackberry slump is here:
It is also classically made with apples:
My understanding about pandowdies is that when the topping is almost cooked, it is broken into rough chunks and pushed under the surface of the cooked fruit which by that time would have exuded a bunch of liquid.
As for slumps, am not sure of why they got that name, though it looks like the topping starts as a completely liquid batter--perhaps it 'slumps' into the fruit? Fanny Farmer might have an idea.
There's a blueberry buckle that I made over and over again last summer (and have already made once this summer, and I can't wait to make it again). I got the recipe from the Washington Post, but have made a few changes (which are integrated into the recipe below):
1/2 stick unsalted butter
1/2 cup sugar
1 large egg
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
zest of one lemon
2 cups blueberries (1 pint)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, cold, cut into dice
Preheat oven to 350. Butter an 8-inch square baking dish (I've also done it in a round 9 inch tart pan, and it was great).
In the bowl of a electric mixer, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg and mix until combined.
In a small bowl, sift or whisk together flour, baking powder and salt. Add dry ingredients to the batter, alternating with the milk, mixing until smooth and blended. At the end, add the vanilla and lemon zest.
Scrape batter into prepared pan and spread with a rubber spatula so that it evenly covers the pan. Sprinkle berries over batter.
To make topping, whisk together sugar, flour and cinnamon in a small bowl. Add butter and work with a fork or your fingers until mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle topping over blueberries. Bake for about 40 minutes, or until berries are bubbling and topping is golden brown.
Let cool slightly and serve warm or at room temperature.
It's seriously addictive.
re: JasmineG
yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ::smacks lips::
re: lollya
I'm going to go out on a limb here and mention something non-food but very delicious with blueberries...
A blueberry/basil mojito.
Muddle half a handful of blueberries and a couple basil leaves with three lime wedges and a generous scoop of sugar. Add rum (or any alcohol for that matter, but rum helps with add more sweetness to the drink) and ice, shake, then pour all the mixture into the glass and top off with a splash of soda water (maybe more ice if neccesary).
Yummy pre-dinner drink!! You can add raspberries to it as well, perhaps, or just do raspberries and basil instead. There can be many variations to this cocktail, but I prefer the blueberry/basil combination.
re: cocktailqueen77
For something sweet & really easy with blueberries - I'm sure you could use raspberries too - blueberry pudding cake (it's from Gourmet) : http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/rec...
It looks pretty weird (v. slack) going into the pan but comes up great & stores well for a couple of days.
Also if you're interested for something a little more sophisticated with raspberries have you thought of bakewell tart - it's an English dessert - pastry shell, raspberry layer (you can use jam/jelly but I like fresh berries better) topped with an almond flour sponge - I have a recipe at home somewhere - let me know & I'll annotate it for posting...
re: cocktailqueen77
Um, YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM have both ingredients, will make tonight....

Five Things Weird Al Critiques in Mandatory Fun
By Steve Brennan
By Ashley Zimmerman
Distortion and attitude. Attitude and distortion. Black Rebel Motorcycle Club don't know much beyond these two rock 'n' roll tenants. And, frankly, they're not very interested in broadening their horizons anytime soon. On their first album, the trio got slagged for being too Jesus and Mary Chain with their overamped guitars and aggressive posturing. With Take Them On, On Your Own, BRMC risks being too much itself, echoing the assault of its almost monochromatic debut.
Further listening, however, reveals a wider scope and sharper design on Take Them On. Band leaders Peter Hayes and Robert Turner still have no time for garage-rock purists, but at least all the songs don't follow the same construction. Establishing and perfecting a formula, the band even tries its hand at a ballad of stark delight, "And I'm Aching."
Ultimately, though, these guys are still pissed. But despite the layers of guitars and atmosphere swirling through these 12 tracks, the band's punky angst doesn't have much depth to it. Even if they're rebels with inarticulate causes, they infuse Take Them On with a galvanic spirit. Few contemporary bands better capture rock music's unapologetic emotional determination to live in the fiery present. They'll worry about the future (theirs and ours) when it gets here.

Dinner near Pantages theater?
Taking 5 preteen girls by subway to an early eve show at the Pantages on a Sunday. Got any suggestions as to where I can take a vegan and several fussy youthful eaters?
Lucky Devils on Hollywood Blvd (oh, yeah, vegan might be a problem) but the burgers & shakes would probably be great for the others. You can check out the menu online and see if there is something for everyone.
The closest vegan place is Truly, which is on Hollywood at Bronson. If you're a walker, it's a breeze, but it's a hike if you're not accustomed to walking or if you're in non-walking shoes. It's 0.4 mile each way.
In the area, I'd consider M Cafe de Chaya, to accommodate all the palates... I'm not sure if fussy means healthier or fussy like mac'n'cheese or chicken fingers only.
California Vegan is a bit of a drive; Newsroom Cafe, though also a drive, might be a good fit given your requirements. Again, not perfect area, but Hugo's accomodates all palates.
Paru's, on the "other side" would be good if they'll do Indian.
Kung Pao Kitty and Kung Pao Bistro could both do tofu dishes to accomodate the vegan.
re: revets2
forgot to mention...the hollywood roosevelt is one stop from the pantages at hollywood and highland. the red line is across the street from both the red line and 25 degrees. good luck!
don't know how close it is but i believe cafe 101 is vegan friendly. its for sure vegetarian friendly. try the no huevos rancheros. they also have fab sweet potato fries. I want to say its off of vine. anyway, its like a diner so i think fussy eaters will feel at home with their american type food...and its affordable and quick
There is a restaurant right next door to the Pantages and the name escapes me. The food there is pretty pedestrian...but it may be the ticket for your fussy eaters...
Don't know if this would fit your request, but I like walking down to Hungry Cat (it's only a couple blocks south on Vine) for a pre theater meal.

If you don't care about the search results issue, this is a great plugin. But if you do, be forewarned.
Just 2 notes for the developer:
1 - You could add simple instructions in the Module panel, so people won't have to search for the documentation;
2 - I couldn't get the "user mode" with "multiple users" functionality to work. Was it my problem or is this a bug?
(I've used ":" to separate usernames and "||" to separate content...)
Anyway Thank You for this great Plugin!
True: No scam here. This extension *is* free and 100% functional.
True: It *is* documented, namely on the author's website. The instructions are clear and easy to follow.
Also true: The makers deserve a Thank You for sharing their work.
{accesstext mode="user" user="Mark:Lena"}
Message to other users.||Message user Mark and Lena.
This link also helps with initial set up as there was no example to begin with that I could find:
It also worked around {mp4} tags as we are using it to restrict access to certain movies.
Thank you.
I dont know why all the other plugins dont allow access restriction to multiple users, but i'm happy this one does!
One thing that could be changed though is to include a little tutorial included in the plugin installation.. cause i had to search a little bit on the net before finding that.. but once you know the basics, it is very easy and efficient.

Third World
Even if music lovers prefer pageboys and pony-tails to Rastafarian dreadlocks, there are some things about this reggae album worth considering. First, two of the tracks were written and produced by Stevie Wonder. Try Jah Love is another of his pleas for planetary love, featuring soulful Third Worlder Rugs Clarke on lead vocals and Stevie's acoustic piano instrumental. You're Playing Us Too Close warns: "We in the ghettos/ ...Red black white brown and yellow poor people/ You're playing us too close." Most of the rest of this album's nine cuts were written by members of the Jamaican sextet, who have developed a fluid performing style in their nine years together.
