We open the gig in Eugene playing my arrangement of Wayne Shorter's 'Free for All'. Wayne wrote this for Art Blakey, and I always think of Bu (what we all called Art) and the integrity he always exhibited on the bandstand. So many highlights on the gig – Ali firing on all cylinders; Elliot playing so much trombone with such virtuosity and accuracy, I had to lean forward to see if it was a valve trombone (it wasn't); Vince sounding like a human voice on Horace Silver's 'Peace'; Ted Nash's pristine flute on 'Itsy Bitsy Spider'. I don't know what possessed me to sing Joe Turner's blues, but it didn't stop us from playing Duke's 1947 masterpiece 'The Tattooed Bride', and it didn't keep Vic from crooning that sweet ballad at the end and cresting that last high f concert up over the band for 6 or 7 long measures.
Yeah. We still out here swinging. And so is Duke and the blues and all of them. We bring 'em with us.
Finally, a drive that commences later than 4 in the morning. Hallelujah! 7am. The highway comes out of the mountain, and you are close enough to read the rock lines on both sides. Shimmering brooks run through mountain passes and give way to green vistas as we pass through the Shasta Valley. Back up through mountains cloaked in redwoods, Douglas-firs and other trees whose names I don't know. Rare, bare, stony peaks stand starkly against the sky. Down into the flatlands of northern California, we pass all kinds of farms and personal signs – "Julia's Fruit Stand – home of the Great Pumpkin Festival".
On side the road: people smokin' ribs, wooden frame houses speak silently and eloquently of the everydayness of living. All this produce for sale in a down-home fashion reminds me of the vegetable man who came through the neighborhoods when I was growing up singing, "I got your peas – snap, sugar and black, your cabbage, your mirlitons just off the vine, and your watermelon ruby-red to the rind."
The gig in Chico is absolutely swinging with a first set that catches fire. Just a lot of inspired solos and diversity in the rhythm section. Well, you have Sherman playing all kinds of blues, then Chris making it plain with the plunger, and the very next tune Ted playing every inch of the alto on 'Epistrophy', followed by Marcus Printup playing with deep soul andlogic, verbally and rhythmically cosigned by Ali at every fresh twist and turn. Victor and Walter lock horns on a galloping 'Stage West' which concludes with Ali taking over after a brief syncopated and soft 5 chorus discussion with me.
As we walk off for intermission Elliot says, "That was probably the best set of solos we've played since I joined the band," and Ted says, "Chris is so patient and unpredictable when he plays." Sherman observes, "Yep." Walter and Ted follow every minute of every solo. They are very enthusiastic listeners – excellent models for students who come to hear us. We speak to some beautiful young musicians after the gig and then J.Kelly and i meet at the hotel to lay out our battle plan for orchestration.
Tomorrow we play Monterey, but the gig is not until 10 or 11pm. Amen, brothers and sisters.
5am: Travelling through Washington going southwest. Farmlands and handmade signs, "fresh blueberries", "sweet corn all you can eat". We want to stop but all is still. Rolling hills in the distance and patches of communities periodically gleam on the horizon under the new, orange sun.
7am: School buses hit the road in Pasco. Many taco trucks painted "La Diferencia" await the day. Kids, in small groups and alone, walk to school with varying degrees of enthusiasm.
We're on highway 84 west, 130 miles east of Portland. The sun and clear, clear sky reveal a gorgeous day. Sand colored hills with intermittent fields of stark-white, three-pronged windmills in various degrees of motion give way to periodic oases of green. A super long train with two engines snakes along above the river bank. I am brought back to Kenner, Louisiana where we grew up down the street from a railroad track on the left and the mighty Mississippi on the right. Miles and miles of open highway and the Columbia River is crystal blue. Hmm…the Mississippi was brown. Here's some Bighorn sheep clustered on a ledge right above the road, looking for something to do. Passing Blaylock Canyon and everything is a living postcard.
Coming into Portland to visit Dr. Monette's shop, we are so tired it's comical, but the drive was inspirational. Frank says, "It was like being in a cathedral at some points. Stained glass and all." Portland reminds me of Leroy Vinnegar and Ben Wolfe. Two bassists of different generations — one love of swinging.
We're at Dave's shop outside the Portland airport. We have a needed a visit with the Doctor. The shop and everyone working there is a model of soul and concern and first class workmanship. We share a noonday meal and discuss various issues of the day, like George Blanda's age when he retired from the NFL and the beat-down my Raiders received on Monday.
Andre Bragg (diehard Cowboys fan from D.C. no less) is not a man given to lots of talk. He says only one thing the entire time. "They needed Blanda on Monday." We look at old photos, and I play the horn I'm fortunate to be taking…and Frank and Dave ruminate on some issues, and Dave shows Frank the components of an earring he's about to make for him, and we give hugs and respect to all these wonderful craftsmen…and we're off.
Two hours to Eugene when we thought it would be twenty minutes…Well there goes any hope of working on my orchestration this afternoon before sound check.
We leave Banff at 3:45am and come back to the U.S. Rolling hills speckled and blanketed in evergreens as we pass through northwestern Idaho into Washington. The northwest is crisp and alive with hospitable people possessing the hard-edged realism of nature. We still remember a great gig in Orcas Islands years ago that had tenor saxophonist Todd Williams wanting to move there. Frank gives a seminar on hawks, eagles and buzzards. "You see, hawks and falcons don't fly over thermals. That's a buzzard." Highway 90 west. We pass a Steinway piano gallery on the left, then immediately right, a fisherman's fly shop. A mile or so down the road, we find what seems to be the world largest junkyard…reminds me of when my daddy and I put up a too high basketball hoop in our yard years ago. We got the pipe from a junkyard and the cement and hoop from Sears. It was 10 feet 4 inches, but we were still proud of it.
Keith, a high school trumpeter, sits in on our sound check. He plays a couple of well constructed solos and brings a great attitude. He's probably going to the University of Washington next year. Marcus and Ryan and I tell him we've been playing together for 16 years. He is 17. Hearing him and feeling his love for our instrument and for jazz music inspires us.
Two hours later, our audience is very lively and interactive. We love it. When people shout and cosign and participate, we are encouraged. That's jazz. It's what our music invites you to do. Carlos is playing all kinds of bass tonight – making up beautiful lines and inventing interesting vamps and counter grooves, listening and interacting with soloists even when they can't hear him, negotiating the time with Ali (all night they look at each other and 'yay or nay' decisions to put the beat in a certain place, to play in two or four, to groove or swing, to push or relax the time, to play at a balanced volume), and keeping the energy positive and flowing. Someone knows what 'Crepuscule' means. She wins the prize. (Even though we don't yet know what it is).
After the gig, I luckily catch the New York Philharmonic playing the hell out of Berlioz's 'Symphonie Fantastique' on TV. Now it's 5 in the morning and we are driving to Eugene. 7 and 8 hour drives day after day wear you down, but so do a series of 1 hour plane rides. It takes hours to move a big band around, so the plane travel will consume roughly the same time.
Now I like to write about what is inspiring to me, what I like. But let me tell you, this is not a vacation. The road kicks you in your ass. In the 90's we toured constantly with the septet and the orchestra. Some members of cats' families would think we were out 'travelling' and partying—we always encouraged them to come out here. One tour is all it takes. When they would be sleeping all day in public spaces, struggling with the constantly changing conditions while being victimized by the various unexpected mess-ups that cost you the two hours of normalcy you need to achieve any type of equilibrium, we would laugh and say, "Dee road, dee road! Fun!" They understood. The only thing resembling vacation is the gig. "Put together thirty years and we can talk about it." That's what Elvin Jones told me about 15 years ago.
Well…all is dark and quiet. Let me go before I begin to dislike my angle on this seat. We got 6 hours to go…
The feeling of jazz…trumpets, trombones, saxophones scooping, swooping and squeezing notes to life. Piano sparkling, bass homping and drums smacking skin and metal, painting with brushes. The constant stream of ideas and the strain of perpetual negotiation (under the pressure of time) excites the room.
"Yeah Sherman!"
Somebody cain't help theyself after Sherman tells 'em on "Blues Walk". To and fro, in and out, back and forth, me and you, us.
Ted Nash playing something so fluttery on "Epistrophy" makes Ryan and me say, "What is that?" After some time off, the sound of the band is always unique and refreshing.
We won't start aggravating each other for at least two weeks.
People in Banff, a resort with a deeply spiritual overtone in a valley 4800 feet up in the Rockies, come to swing…hard. They are cosigning solos and having a generally great time, making it easy for us to communicate. It feels good at any time, but after 40 something hours in a vehicle…better than good.
Is Frank Stewart sleeping? Hell no. He makes the sound check 10 minutes after arriving…then the gig.
On the road again. 40hour drive to Banff, Alberta, Canada…the type of drive that makes you reconsider your fear of flying. We travel this time in a Lincoln Navigator. I look forward to this ride because I know I will get some sleep. These last weeks have been rough.
We have driven so many miles up and down the U.S. in the last 25 years; the front seat of a car sleeps better than a single bed. Frank Stewart and Andre Bragg are driving and will be on the road crew, and Frank will also take all kinds of great pictures.
We have had more problems with vehicles over the years. One winter we had a Winnebago with no heat on a tour through the Midwest in the middle of a deep freeze. You had to sit right under the front vents to get any heat. "Man, is it supposed to be this cold in here?" I asked looking at my breath. Frank accused me of whining and volunteered to switch places. "Three blankets and still no satisfaction." Later he observed, "Damn it's cold in this m.f.!" We couldn't switch the vehicle until reaching the west coast so we eased the situation by using this inconvenience to considered real hardship that folks have endured. We ended up speculating on how Napoleon's soldiers must have felt in Russia which led to talk about why vodka doesn't freeze. Sometimes I read books or poems out loud to them. They wouldn't admit it but they always say, "Read another one man… read another one." We also pass hours by telling the stories of each others lives from first memories to the present. It's called 'the life of', but Frank's life is so interesting, we never get past him.
You may have noticed we had fewer post in the last weeks. That's because J. Kelly and I have been up day and night with notes, notes, notes…thousands of them. Wayne Shorter once told me, "Notes are like people. You have to go up and meet each one." Well I must be running for something because I've met a lot of those people in the last three weeks. These were hard but extremely intense days of 15, 16 hours of concentration. It's funny because that type of absorption is difficult to get to and harder to let go. Once rehearsals began for tour, no more day and night vacation withmusic. And I'm still late and not working on orchestration yet, so this is gonna be three or four completely sleepless weeks. I love this, and when waking up at 5am after 2 or 3 hours of sleep, mutter to myself, "Let's see m.f. Let's see." J. Kelly joked with me after one week of intense work. "No posts huh?" He sent me this list of number of notes for each movement in the piano sketch:
Whenever I compose long pieces and see page after page of hard-earned music, I think about Sandy Feldstein-drummer, composer, arranger, music publisher and educator par excellence, man of sartorial splendor and down home humor. He would always say, "Are you suffering with diarrhea of the pen? Man, turn the music upside down when you're halfway through and that's your whole piece with half the work." Good drummers hate to see a lot of notes anyway. You have to let them do their thing for the music to be free. Duke didn't write drum parts (I think). Sandy used to laugh when looking at a pile of notes and say, "Yes, there are a LOT of notes, but are they GOOD notes?" I loved him. We lost a great friend of music and American education whenhe passed away. I'm gonna check on Wendy today.
Before satellite radio we used to search all over for games and have the radio cut out at the crucial moment. Well, I slept from 9pm (when we left) to 5 in the morning (now) and missed that Packers-Bears game last night. We tease whoever sleeps about their snoring but Frank wins the prize. Now it's just past 6 and the sky is that deep Matisse blue. We are chewing up open, American highway, and the trees are shadows that dot the misty landscape. The pre-sunrise lights of people's homes make us nostalgic for the school time mornings of our own childhoods, and the big trucks roll on and on and on…and so do we.
Today is my big brother Branford's birthday.
We had some helluva times growing up. He is a musician with such great ears and reflexes that playing with him was something you could take for granted…until you played with other people.
I remember us learning tunes in the mid-70's off of Earth, Wind and Fire, Parliament, Stevie Wonder, Tower of Power and all the recordings of funk bands with good horn sections. We were so country…we would write the names of notes (a-b-b-d-f-f) on regular loose-leaf paper.
Our first gig was an elementary school dance in Kenner, LA. We had a four piece band——sax, trumpet, guitar and drums. The gig was supposed to be two hours and took place in the school cafeteria-gymnasium-meeting room. We learned about 12 songs. Well, those songs took us about 35 minutes into the gig. We stopped. People said, "We came here to dance, y'all better come up with something, NOW". The next hour was a continuous medley of all 12 songs with some of the saddest solos you ever heard in your life. We were 11 and 12 then.
4 years later we played in a funk band called the Creators. Girls would ask us, "What do y'all create?"
The band was about 9 pieces, and Branford and I were the youngest by 4 or 5 years. We played a talent show in the 9th ward at Nicholls High School, and some kind of way had neglected to learn one of the contestant's songs…and to add insult to injury, didn't realize it till he walked out onto the stage.
Now these could be raucous brown affairs with the audience commenting (back and forth about what they liked and disliked) to the band. One group of singers earlier that evening had butchered "Kung Fu Fighting" and had the nerve to announce to the audience, "The band is fuckin' us up, y'all."
We had 9 and 1 packing, so we took the mic and announced that they weren't shit. It was funny, but we had to think about whether they would go home and come back with something because it was their neighborhood and those karate outfits probably gave them the feeling they could whip someone's ass. So we were on edge and the people were ready for some Crescent City type excitement to jump off.
Here comes my man whose song we definitely don't know. The show stops while we discuss another song to do. "Hey man, this is what I know. You motherfuckers better play my song." He has his country-best clothes on and probably all his friends and girlfriend there.
It was tight.
The people start murmuring which soon leads to shouting which we know will lead to a really colorful story, if you survive to tell it. Branford had only heard the song a few times on the radio. He sat down at the electric keyboard and played the intro and changes of the tune. He guided our bass player and drummer through it all with complete cool and saved us from a very unpleasant physical encounter with a hyped up audience.
My man made it through his song, yellow suit intact, and we all couldn't believe Book pulled that off. That was Branford's nickname Book, Bookie, Book-Book Nova, Track Star Book. He could play any instrument he touched and run the hundred in 10 seconds or faster if being chased through South Boston.
Happy Birthday Book.
Jonathan Kelly is from Maine. He plays bass.
J.K. copies music (translates the hand score into playable parts). He is a one-man team of copyists. When we did my Abyssinian Mass he turned 2hrs of music into professional parts in one week and made the choir director tremble.
He used to have a bass at my apt. and we would play after going through something to be copied.
His wife Phoebe is perfect for him. They were married in a most soulful and completely unpretentious ceremony in Manhattan's Central Park.
J. Kelly and I will be up and sleepless for 4 or 5 days rushing to meet some deadline at 3 in the morning but we still sit down after every music pick-up to play a game of chess.
We always say, "no need to be uncivilized."
He immediately walks out the door upon making a winning move to let me assess what has happened. Not a word. We have worked on hundreds of pieces.
Phoebe asked jk once late at night.
"What ever happens to all this stuff you are killing yourself over?
"We laugh about that all the time because we don't know what happens to it and wonder why we do it especially on really long pieces that never get recorded and everyone complains about it's too long and hard. Let's just play Black Codes forever. It would be a lot easier… Then jk says, "pick up at 2" and I have to be ready. When I'm really late, we compete. Can I compose faster than he copies? I knew I would miss the deadline for the symphony last year when jk said," we're not going to make it. This is too important to write with this type of fatigue."
He never says that. It's ready to be that time again.
Long live JK and Phoebe!
I'm thinking about how he can translate my completely homespun scores with thousands and thousands of notes into all that printed music and almost never make one single error. Must be something in Maine.
I'm thinking about whippin his ass on that chess board.
I'm thinkin' we're gonna be up for the next 4 weeks.
Happy birthday to my brother Ellis.
He is to the point and no frills. He is a photographer, poet, and computer engineer. Has three kids and works his ass off. We call him the oracle. He is constantly studying something. He was reading a transcript of Justice Scalia's opinion and decrying the lack of precision in the language.
All the while he's reading passages that he's marked in fluorescent blue to highlight this lack of judicial integrity. He backs every opinion with some form of evidence. We called him Lut when we were growing up. I still call him Lut or Lil 'Lut even though he's the tallest one of us. He's writing a book on war.
Ellis said he has been getting distracted lately and not doing what he is supposed to do. So I'm wondering what was he doing. Maybe looking at TV, gambling, hanging out, going to clubs, some frivolity…….he's reading the Old Testament.
When I first moved to New York, I studied ear training with the great Cuban maestro Alberto Socarras. I think Socarras was the first one to tell me about the master of choro— Pixinguinha (who is to Brazilians what Scott Joplin is,or should be, to Americans). Both Socarras and Pixinguinha played the hell out of the flute.
Kent Jordan (who made me practice as a teenager leading by example) plays an unbelievably virtuosic New Orleans flute. (He played on the first ballet I composed for the New York City Ballet,' Jazz Six Syncopated Movements'). I wrote an impossible to play part for him and he didn't even blink at it.
New Orleans people are related to Cubans through red beans and rice and to Brazilians through feijoada and Carnival…..and sometimes through flute.
Socarras would have loved Kent.
I'm writing a flute part right now.
Pixinguinha would have loved him too.
There is snow high on the Pyrenees. We are on a 45 min drive to Tarbes due east of that majestic range. Today we have an all day rehearsal of the music of Sidney Bechet, the Creole genius of clarinet and soprano saxophone. A hell raiser and musical hero in France after WW2, Sidney brought the emotional power and glory of New Orleans jazz to the world. We love playing this music (with special guests Olivier Franc and Bob Wilber (who studied with Sidney) because early jazz is optimistic, hardy, and always fun to play. Wycliffe Gordon is also on this concert, so Vic and I will have a great time playing 3 horn collective improvisation with him.
For twenty years, in Marciac, I stay in the home of Marcel and Christiane. Their three kids are around my age and they have shown me and my kids much love through these many years. All of my kids have studied French and love France because of their experiences in Marciac and in the house of Laberriere. They are family to me. We sit at the kitchen table (Frank Stewart's picture of that same table is in our book Sweet Swing Blues on the Road) and speak in broken Spanish about all kinds of things. When their daughter Cathy is home, she translates, all the while adding her own passionate commentary and arguing with her father.
We talk this morning about: the quality of ham in Bayonne; the various shapes of tomatoes from south america (they pull out a tomato that looks like a pepper and another shaped like a heart); the glories of a pepper festival in the city of Espellete; how they loved taking their kids to the Basque region when the family was growing up; how Basque people adorn the outside of homes by hanging peppers on draped strings (also, I observe, a tradition in the U.S. south). Out comes 4 or 5 Basque cookbooks with commentary on memorable past meals.
We are eating confit de canard and sliced potatoes fried in duck grease. They say you can only get a proper magret in homes because it takes 6 to 8 months of soaking the duck in its own grease and restaurants don't want to take the time. This meal reminds me of the cuisine my great aunt used to make in a little bitty shotgun house on Gov. Nicholls street in New Orleans (my momma and them speculated her recipes came from slavery, well, my great uncle was born in 1883 so that's not far fetched)…. anyway, New Orleans was founded by the French and we eat the same bread and like our coffee the same way and, regardless of economic status, have that same high regard for savory sauces and ornate sugar bowls and taureens.
Marcel and Christiane have been married for 48 years. Yesterday we had a long conversation over a section of roasted pork. This was an intense back and forth about black and white folks and France and America and imperialism and Charles DeGaulle and wars and generations and what people know, want and expect, and progress and, of course fraud and frauds. Cathy and I represent a younger more progressive and liberal (we think) way of thinking. Marcel says when he was young, he was with Gen. De Gaulle who was against all kinds of imperialism (including American) and long before that, he remembers German soldiers occupying his family's house. He is proud of what his generation has achieved and, like most who remember the American effort in WW2, he loves the United States.
In his early 20's (1958), he fought in northern Africa for 2 and a half years. He says war opens you up for life (for better and worse). As we get deeper into a rumination on black and white folks and old and young folks, he becomes more forceful. He says France fought in Senegal and the Congo and Algeria, Vietnam and so on and a lot of lives were lost over trying to oppress people and take their things because their skin color was darker.
He says he understands what is the battle of the races and that the loss of life in those wars made many people in France realize they would rather accept people of different colors and cultures coming together than continue to die trying to prevent it and or trying take people's stuff free of charge (or so cheaply as to be free).
About the generations he says you go to school you think you know something.
You do something (like fight in a war)——you know something.

Vendors agree vulnerability scoring system
Leading IT suppliers are banding together to develop a system designed to standardise the rating of security vulnerabilities. The scheme, called the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS), announced at last week's RSA Conference in San Francisco, is designed to replace vendor-specific ratings with a system that will make it easier for users to prioritise security remediation work.

text: Susie; I sympathize with your loss and hope that time will help you heal. I have always had cats in my life, starting with the Siamese that slept in my crib (my mother was not one for old wives tales :) ). Currently we have a grey/russian blue named Murf and a white & apricot shorthair named Max. Between these two no color of clothing escapes contrasting cat hairs! Murf is good about lying quietly on the lap while I stitch and he 'contributes'. Max has to first see if there is anything he wants to play with, and there usually is. He also trys to 'help' when I am on the sewing machine. And to keep this on track, could one way to tell if historic embroidery was professionally stitched, or home made, be by looking closely for ancient cat hairs :)? Catherine

This guide provides a walk-through of IE 6.0 but applies to the latest IE 7.0 as well. (This guidance was prepared and distributed by Will Dorman, vulnerability analyst at Carnegie Mellon Software Engineering Institute CERT Cordination Center).

You can click on the Custom Level button to get a more granular control over what features are allowed in the zone.
Here you can control the specific security options that apply to the current zone.
Default values for the High security setting can be selected by choosing High and clicking the Reset button to apply the changes.
Trusted sites is a security zone for web sites that you believe are securely designed and contain trustworthy content. To add or remove sites from this zone, you can click the "Sites" button (see next slide).
CERT/CC recommends that you set the security level for the Trusted sites zone to Medium. When the Internet Zone is set to High, you may encounter web sites that do not function properly due to one or more of the associated security settings.
This is where the Trusted sites zone can help. If you trust that the site will not contain malicious code, you can add it to the list of sites in the Trusted sites zone (see next slide).
Once a site is added to this zone, features such as ActiveX and active scripting will be enabled. The benefit of this type of configuration is that IE will be more secure by default, and sites can be "whitelisted" in the Trusted sites zone to gain extra functionality.
When you click on the "Sites" button (previous slide), a new window pops up that lists the sites that you trust and permit you to add or remove sites.
You may also require that only sites with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) implemented can be active in this zone.
This permits you to verify that the site you are visiting is the site that it claims to be.

Marxian Economics
This course provides a working foundation in the core concepts of Marxian economic theory – necessary and surplus labor, labor power, surplus value, exploitation, capital accumulation, distributions of the surplus, capitalist crises, and the differences between capitalist and other class structures. In addition, these core concepts will be systematically used to understand current social problems (including political and cultural as well as economic problems).

The Otterbein University Department of History and Political Science Speaker Series presents Richard D. Wolff on "Our Economic Futures: Can Democracy Cure Capitalism?"
Marxian Economics vs Capitalism with Professor Richard D. Wolff
Do we have true capitalism? What exactly is Marxism, and why does it exist? Most Americans have a knee-jerk reaction against Marxism, but is it fully justified to not even speak of it? What political histories and structures are compatible with different economic systems? Is there a positive role Marxism has taken in national and world economies?
Avowed capitalist Cenk Uygur discusses these questions and much more with Professor Richard D. Wolff.

COLUMBIA CITY — The arts in Whitley County are alive — even more so now that there is a partnership involved.

The way we fund our schools is about to change.
Gov. Jim Doyle says he is looking at a foundation plan to spread money more evenly.
Currently, the amount of money each school district spends per student ranges from $7 to $14,000. The number is dependent on the property values in the district.
Under a foundation plan, each school gets the same amount. The money comes from either a statewide property tax, or an increased sales tax.
But the problem comes with districts with a lot of special needs students.
Wausau has a high number of special education and English as a second language programs. Under a foundation plan they would be under-funded because it costs more to educate kids in those programs than normal students.
School Districts like Antigo would also suffer because of their large area. There is no money available for large transportation budgets or spread out schools.
Marshfield Superintendent David Smette says the best method is to take the foundation plan and incorporate exceptions for each school district.

Fratelli Barale, a traditional Piedmontese estate with 20 hectares under vine, was founded by
Francesco Barale in 1870. The estate is located on land qualified to produce either DOCG Barolo or Barbaresco, a testament to the pedigree of these sites. Even Barale's so-called "basic" wines-their Dolcetto and Barbera d'Alba-are anything but, as they come from coveted land with tremendous pedigree and offer up complexity driven by this outstanding terroir. Today, the winery is run by Sergio Barale and his daughter, Eleonora Barale, the oenologist at the estate, but the wines continue to be crafted classically, with no flashiness-just traditional winemaking methodology. Regardless of whether you're looking for a dry white wine for hors d'oeuvres (try the 2013 Arneis, with its classic aromas of almonds, herbs, yellow plums, citrus, and minerals) or a salve for your sweet tooth (the 2013 Moscato d'Asti's nose of sage and spring flowers will satiate a panettone craving), Barale has a wine for every occasion. Barale's reds, of course, are not to be missed and are the veritable stars of the portfolio. The 2013 Costa del Rose Dolcetto d'Alba and 2012 "Castellero" Barbera d'Alba are elegant, aromatic, and distinct. And we'd be remiss not to mention Barolo; venture into the "basic" (actually a wine made from the blending of three of Barolo's Crus: Monrobiolo, Costa di Rose, and Preda) cuvée from the formidable 2010 vintage, or splurge for the "Cannubi" 2006, which, along with the 2009 Serraboella Barbaresco, is a showstopper. The Chinato, made with a base of 2007 Castellero Barolo that has been infused with quinine, gentian root, spices, and other proprietary ingredients, makes the ultimate post-prandial digestif.

text: Alec Baldwin's MSNBC Show Driving Away Young Viewers Print article Send a Tip by William Bigelow 12 Nov 2013 post a comment Alec Baldwin's MSNBC show Up Late with Alec Baldwin is already in ratings purgatory and headed for hell. The former star of the low-rated 30 Rock only drew 101,000 viewers in the 25-54 age bracket for the Nov. 8 telecast, as opposed to the 172,000 he drew in his debut Oct. 11. Baldwin hosted Cristina Tzintzun of the Workers Defense Fund and the Coalition for the Homeless' Mary Brosnahan to gab about immigration reform and anti-poverty programs, and apparently 25-54-year-olds tuned out in droves. Although Baldwin's total viewership rose from 354,000 on Nov. 1 to 395,000 a week later, the key demographic shrank during that time. While Baldwin was losing ground, Fox News' Sean Hannity, in his new 10 p.m. EST time slot., got the biggest numbers since his move in last month: a 24 percent ascent in viewership since October 11.

The General Services Administration's Digital Services Innovation Center is crowdsourcing mobile innovators to help make mobile government work better for the public.
The effort began with the collaboration of 15 agencies at a November mobile user experience workshop, where agencies partnered with government mobile practitioners to collect and develop mobile user experience guidelines agencies would ultimately use when updating mobile products.
To improve guidelines and recommendations further, the Digital Services Innovation Center has launched a mobile user experience crowdsourcing tool.
It is essentially a survey that asks participants to determine the importance of particular recommendations that will lead to "citizen-centric mobile," said Gwynne Kostin, director of the Digital Services Innovation Center.
For example, participants will be asked whether it is critical, very important or important to keep button labeling short and clear, use jargon-free language or put the user's principal task front and center.
Participants also have the option to chime in with their own wording if they wish.
"We are taking more than 40 elements to a wider audience – inside and outside of government – to hone and polish these recommendations to better serve the American people," Kostin said.
The survey takes about 15 minutes to complete, and the project will be closed on March 25.
Kostin said results will be published on the MobileGov Wiki and will assist in creating programming and tools to support the adoption and continued development of these guidelines.

Scarlett Johansson Speaks Out on "Unjust" Naked Photo Leakby Hilton Hater at . Comments
It may be the fantasy of warm-blooded males around the globe, but for Scarlett Johansson, it's a nightmare: naked photos of the actress have leaked online, as the FBI is actively involved in what's become an ongoing celebrity hacking scandal.
Yesterday, in an interview with CNN, the gorgeous actress spoke on the mess and the rights she still believes she possesses, despite her fame:"Just because you're in the spotlight, or just because you're an actor or making films or whatever, doesn't mean that you're not entitled to your own personal privacy," Scarlett said. "I think no matter what the context, if that is besieged in some way, it feels unjust. It feels wrong."
Clearly, Johansson is correct. She's also very attractive and debuted a new hairstyle in Milan this week. Give your opinion on it NOW.
[Photo: Laura Villani/WENN.com]
hey " scarlett johansson !
if you read my message !
.... remember :
you know what ...... you're special scarlett very special
so ........ we love you so much !
S.J. is stolen biological material, taken against will and formed to clones line 200 pieces total. Sign of dangerous criminal activity. Original Scarlett Galabekian educated and licensed pediatrician doctor.
Btw way I have nothing against scarjo, she's an attractive celebrity and good actress, I'd think out of all the celebs with nude photos leaked, she'd be the smartest.
Yes everyone deserves privacy, but it's obvious that as celebrity and sex symbol for that matter, that is highly impossible to achieve. They will always be In the spotlight. I. Seriuosly don't understand why in the he'll celebrities take nude photos on their cells, come on, how safe are cell phones? Then get upset and complain. I find this to be very stupid, I'm sorry, but I mean if they really want to show themselves this way to someone can't they use a digital camera? N show them the pictures on the camera, heck give them the damn camera! Honestly it must be for more publicity...

Scottburgh : Accommodation, Activities, Restaurants & Points Of Interest
Scottburgh (pronounced scott-burra) is a resort town situated on the mouth of the Mpambanyoni River (confuser of birds), 58 km south of Durban on KwaZulu-Natal South Coast in South Africa (credits)
Scottburgh is well known for its beaches, which are well protected by shark nets, and lifeguards all year round. The area is also popular with fisherman, who either fish from the surf or off the rocks. The beach sees much activity during the shad season, and even more during the annual sardine run.
Kids Entertainment includes a supertube, tidal pool on the beach, paddling pool, and a miniature railway.
There are plenty of sporting facilities, including tennis, bowling at the local Scottburgh Country Club, and the 18-hole golf course.
The Green Point Lighthouse which overlooks the town was built in 1905 to warn mariners of the famous Aliwal Shoal a few kilometers out to sea.
The Aliwal Shoal with its rich abundance in marine and plant life, and other magnificent underwater locations like Lander's Reef make for excellent diving spots. Other than the fish and sea life, there are also a number of shipwrecks waiting to be explored, providing visitors with a truly unforgettable experience.
Snorkelling is also popular in the numerous rock pools at Scottburgh, while surfers from all over the province make their way to Scottburgh to ride the excellent waves.
The river and coastal bush habitat of the 60ha TC Robertson Nature Reserve provide much delight for nature lovers with a wide variety of water fowl and various small mammasl. Facilities in the reserve include a braai and picnic spot, and visitors can enjoy self-guided trails.
Tourists seeking a cultural experience can see the vibrant and highly energetic traditional Zulu dancing. Or watch Nile crocodiles
being fed at Croc World, about 4km outside of town. Tours to one of South Africa's largest sugar mills, the Sezela Sugar Mill, can also be arranged.

For 148 years one family, with deep roots near Econfina Creek, have celebrated their family heritage.
"It's something that we take great pride in," said Jack Mashburn. "It's written up in the library of congress as the oldest, continuous reunion in the nation."
The Mashburn's have been on the same land for more than 100 years.
"And we always gather here on the 4th Sunday in May," said Jim Mashburn, the president of the Mashburn Family Reunion.
The Mashburn family legacy and family reunion are very important to the family and they have a pretty unique way to make sure the younger generations appreciate their family history.
"We always have some type of entertainment," Mashburn said. "We've got a bouncy house this time, and in the past we've had a greasy poll climbing contest."
The poll climbing contest seems to have been a hit, and many of the kids said that is one of their favorite memories.
"You've got to climb it and you get a ribbon and maybe 5 dollars," said Corey Mashburn. "It's fun."
Corey is one of the youngest Mashburn boys, and it will one day be his job to carry on the family legacy.
"Oh yes, when I'm older I'll help out as much as I can."

Medications for Narcolepsy
Main Page | Risk Factors | Symptoms | Diagnosis | Treatment | Screening | Reducing Your Risk | Talking to Your Doctor | Living With Narcolepsy | Resource GuideEn Español (Spanish Version)
The information provided here is meant to give you a general idea about each of the medications listed below. Only the most general side effects are included, so ask your healthcare provider if you need to take any special precautions. Use each of these medications as recommended by your healthcare provider, or according to the instructions provided. If you have further questions about usage or side effects, contact your healthcare provider
Prescription Medications
- Methylphenidate (Ritalin)
- Dextroamphetamine (Dexedrine)
- Pemoline (Cylert)
- Mazindol (Mazanor, Sanorex)
- Modafinil (Provigil)
- Imipramine (Tofranil)
- Desipramine (Norpramin)
- Clomipramine (Anafranil)
- Protriptyline (Vivactil)
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs)
- Fluoxetine (Prozac)
- Paroxetine (Paxil)
- Sertraline (Zoloft)
Please note: In March, 2004, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a Public Health Advisory that cautions physicians, patients, families, and caregivers of patients with depression to closely monitor both adults and children receiving certain antidepressant medications. The FDA is concerned about the possibility of worsening depression and/or the emergence of suicidal thoughts, especially among children and adolescents at the beginning of treatment, or when there's an increase or decrease in the dose. The medications of concern—mostly SSRIs (Selective Serotonin Re-uptake Inhibitors)—are: Prozac (fluoxetine), Zoloft (sertraline), Paxil (paroxetine), Luvox (fluvoxamine), Celexa (citalopram), Lexapro (escitalopram), Wellbutrin (bupropion), Effexor (venlafaxine), Serzone (nefazodone), and Remeron (mirtazapine). Of these, only Prozac (fluoxetine) is approved for use in children and adolescents for the treatment of major depressive disorder. Prozac (fluoxetine), Zoloft (sertraline), and Luvox (fluvoxamine) are approved for use in children and adolescents for the treatment of obsessive compulsive disorder. For more information, please visit http://www.fda.gov/cder/drug/antidepressants .
Common names include:
- Methylphenidate (Ritalin)
- Dextroamphetamine (Dexedrine)
- Pemoline (Cylert)
- Mazindol (Mazanor, Sanorex)
- Modafinil (Provigil)
Stimulants can help you be more alert and awake and can help decrease drowsiness. While using stimulant medications, you should take the following precautions:
- To avoid difficulty sleeping at night, ask your healthcare provider about taking your last dose before 6:00 PM.
- Do not stop taking a stimulant drug suddenly.
- Be sure to have your healthcare provider approve any other medicines you take while you're using stimulant medications because stimulants can interact with a number of over-the-counter medicines.
- If you're taking sustained-release tablets, never crush or chew them.
- If you have a history of seizures, be sure to tell your healthcare provider. Your medications will have to be carefully chosen.
You may experience the following side effects:
- Decreased appetite, with potential weight loss
- High blood pressure
- Increased agitation, anxiety, jitteriness, or jumpiness
- Dizziness, drowsiness, or blurred vision*
* Note: You may notice these things when you first begin taking a stimulant medication. Until you know how the medication will affect you, you should avoid driving, operating machinery, and participating in hazardous activities.
Tricyclic Antidepressants
Common names include:
- Imipramine (Tofranil)
- Desipramine (Norpramin)
- Clomipramine (Anafranil)
- Protriptyline (Vivactil)
You may be given a tricyclic antidepressant if you have symptoms such as cataplexy (attacks of weakness), hallucinations as sleep begins, or sleep paralysis. To avoid stomach upset, take your tricyclic antidepressants with food, unless your doctor has told you otherwise.
Possible side effects include:
- Low blood pressure
- High blood pressure
- Dry mouth
- Constipation
- Increased effects from alcohol, sleeping pills, tranquilizers, or sedatives
- Sensitivity to sun
- Dizziness, drowsiness, or blurred vision
- Blood sugar swings in people with diabetes
Anticataplexy Medication
- Sodium oxybate (Xyrem)
Sodium oxybate is used to treat cataplexy. It is a drug that can be abused, so it is a controlled substance. Abuse can cause serious medical problems, such as trouble breathing, seizures, loss of consciousness, coma, and death. Abuse can also lead to dependence, craving, and withdrawal symptoms. If you are prescribed sodium oxybate by your physician you will have to obtain the medication from one central pharmacy. It is not available anywhere else.
Sodium oxybate can reduce the number of cataplexy attacks, but it must be taken exactly as prescribed. The medication works very fast, so you need to take it only when you are ready to fall asleep. Sodium oxybate must be taken in two doses each night: the first dose is taken right at bedtime and the second dose is taken 2-1/2 to 4 hours later. So you will probably need to wake yourself up to take the second dose. The most common side effects are nausea, dizziness, headache, sleep problems, confusion, vomiting, and bed-wetting.
Do not engage in activities that require alertness, such as driving, for six hours after taking the medication. Do not use alcohol or other sedatives while taking this medication. Your doctor must instruct you in the safe and effective use of this medication
Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs)
*** see note above
Common names include:
- Fluoxetine (Prozac)
- Paroxetine (Paxil)
- Sertraline (Zoloft)
You may be given an SSRI to treat narcolepsy cataplexy, hallucinations as sleep begins, or sleep paralysis. If this medicine bothers your stomach, you can take it with food.
You should never take MAO inhibitors during SSRI therapy, for two weeks prior to starting SSRI therapy, and for five weeks after stopping SSRI therapy.
Serious side effects of SSRI antidepressants include:
- Suicidal feelings
- Anxiety
- Mania
- Serious weight loss
- Seizures
- Low blood sugar in people with diabetes
- Dizziness, drowsiness, or blurred vision*
* Note: You may notice these symptoms when you first begin taking a medication. Until you know how the medication will affect you, you should avoid driving, operating machinery, and participating in hazardous activities.
Special Considerations
Whenever you are taking a prescription medication, take the following precautions:
- Take them as directed—not more, not less, not at a different time.
- Do not stop taking them without consulting your healthcare provider.
- Don't share them with anyone else.
- Know what effects and side effects to expect, and report them to your healthcare provider.
- If you are taking more than one drug, even if it is over-the-counter, be sure to check with a physician or pharmacist about drug interactions.
- Plan ahead for refills so you don't run out.

Most kids have a lot of fun doing arts and crafts from the first moment you show them how. The best times of the year for children are special holidays, birthdays and other events when the house is decorated; everything around them looks pretty and colorful and people are happy and enjoying their time together. Kids love to help you with decorating, and will be more than happy to draw, paint or craft with you or with other children of their age. Arts and crafts are a way to express yourself and the way you feel. This is true, not only for adults - children have equally strong emotions and love working with chalk, pastels and any other materials that come in many bright colors. The world of a happy child is bright, colorful and full of magic. You should encourage your child to draw, paint and craft – this will help them develop self-confidence, will help them to express their feelings and will make your child more open to the outside world. The people who will understand your child the best are other kids of the same age. One of the best things parents can do is sign up their child to one of the many arts and crafts classes available. Working in a group together with other kids will help your child learn how to communicate, share ideas and have great time when in a group. Children do well in any subject if they are enjoying themselves, and classes with expert teachers will enable them to do just that. If your kids are attending arts and crafts classes, they will come home with something new they made after every visit to their class. It is important to show that you love the art your child has created, as kids are very happy when they create something that their parents like. You can have a place at home where they can display their latest work. This will make them very proud, and interested in creating more art in the future. Do not forget to give some of your children's art as a present to grandparents and other relatives. We all know how much grandparents like receiving a painting, decorated candle or something else from their grandsons and granddaughters. Signing up your children to arts and crafts classes is the best thing you can do to allow them to develop their creativity. You can either join a class with them, or let them take classes independently in a group with other kids who are around the same age. In the first instance there is a stronger parent-child bond created, while in the second the child becomes more independent and learns how to communicate with other people.

Good Morning Ladies!!!
I haven't gotten a chance to come and post this but...................... We got a BFP earlier this week, on the 10th to be exact. It was bittersweet, since it came 5 months to the day, of when I was informed there was no HB with my lil baby angel. Actually writing this morning, after experiencing nauseating episodes since yesterday. I want to be ecstatic but at the same time I'm a mix of emotions, because I really want this lil pea to grow. Wishing for a LOT more July BFPs!!! for all of you.

Problem Description
All ONS 15454 E1000-2 Ethernet boards built prior to September 10, 2001 contain capacitors of an improper value, resulting in a minute Bit Error Rate (BER).
An inadvertent change in capacitor values on the E1000-2 schematic led to the use of an improper component during manufacturing.
Problem Symptoms
These capacitors affect the filter circuitry, resulting in higher than normal BER during operation. While this rate is higher than anticipated, it is very small and will not be an issue for the majority of users.
Cisco reccomends a fix on failure replacement. In most networks this slight increase in the bit error rate will be unnoticeable and/or undetectable. Where the user feels this condition is unacceptable, the E1000-2 Ethernet board should be replaced during normal maintenance periods. A replacement may be obtained by contacting the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) and requesting an RMA replacement.

Based on Amy Tan's novel of the same name, the on-stage version of The Joy Luck Club tells the story of four Chinese women and their daughters, and how they reconcile their changing relationships and cultural connections. But Craig Bond, artistic director of Vintage Theatre, which is staging the production, was leery of the play at first. "It's a cast of 23, and 21 are from the Asian community," he explains. "Typically, around 300 people audition for a season, of which there might be two Asian actors."
But the story was compelling, and ultimately he went for it, saying, "This particular piece is so rich and such a great vehicle for their heritage. Actresses are saying, 'I'm doing this because it's my mother's story. I'm doing this because it's my grandmother's story.'"
1468 Dayton St.
Aurora, CO 80010
Category: Performing Arts Venues
Region: Aurora
The Joy Luck Club, which was adapted for the stage by Susan Kim, debuts tonight at 7:30 p.m. at the Vintage Theatre's new space at 1468 Dayton Street in Aurora, and runs through May 20. Tickets, $18 to $25, are available in advance at www.vintagetheatre.com or at the door.
Fridays, Saturdays, 7:30 p.m.; Sundays, 2:30 p.m. Starts: April 27. Continues through May 20, 2012
