Tag Archives: Now That's what I call Music
(our only cover)
You are forgiven for not knowing Foglizard. While we never played a live show, all the recordings featured here were performed live in the studio in one or two takes. The only overdubs were vocals added later. This is raw Rock N Roll of the highest order.
We began in 1999 as Friends Of Harry, named after my cat (now deceased). We were an improvisational electro-acoustic ensemble with only two rules: No blues, and no drums. We'd all been in plenty of rock bands and were determined not to go there until late 2002, when our bass player, Sharky Tao Mao, booked a nonexistent band named Chariot! to perform as Cheap Trick at Uncle Joe's (local dive, now demolished) annual Halloween bash. We didn't learn any Cheap Trick songs except the chorus to "Dream Police" which we tacked onto our signature song, "Chariot". We wrote 6 originals over two weeks while preparing for the show, but we didn't really have a singer or lyrics yet. Our songs were instrumentals with minimal words and nonsense syllables.
We had such a good time that Chariot! became a lot more than a side project. D-Lux, a founding Friends Of Harry member, was on an extended vacation in Ecuador while all of this went down and returned to find out he was our new singer. We recorded a self titled album, available here, and played a handful of gigs. D-Lux left town shortly after. For awhile he continued to add lyrics and vocals from a distance, but it soon became clear that we needed a singer who lived in town. Instead of finding one we began to write and record the vocals ourselves with occasional guests.
We realized that there was already too many "Chariots", so we changed our name to Foglizard. Run a search, we're at the top of the list.
One thing we learned from our Chariot! experience was that we got really tired of rehearsing our set. We usually ran it as a 45 minute suite with no spaces between songs. It was hard to introduce new material that way. Sharkey was at the point of mutiny.
As a result, Foglizard never rehearsed a set. Every time we came into the studio we'd lay down a new track, usually in one or two takes. At a later session we'd write the lyrics and overdub vocals. The Instrumental disc is mostly material we never got around to "finishing".
About half the time I'd bring something I was working on into the session. I did this because Beast(baritone guitar, vocals), Q(drums, vocals), and Sharky(bass, vocals) are much better musicians than me, and it was my way of holding down my end. It's from being self taught, since I didn't know how to play anything, I make stuff up. Beast, on the other hand, is a Berklee grad who can play the shit out of his guitar, and as far as I can tell, pretty much anything I've seen him pick up. Q is rock solid in every way, and Sharkey is the perpetual wild card. He's always solving problems in unexpected ways.
I'm Buzz Baby Jesus, the other guitar and occasional vocalist.
In 2008, Q began his journey into domesticity and as we saw less of him, Sharkey, Beast, and me developed a side project, The Smoove Sailor's. When Q announced his retirement in 2010, it became our primary focus. However, we all left the door open and manage to get together as Foglizard about once a year to find out we still "have it".
In addition to the original players, The Smoove Sailor's have added several more members, and occasionally play live, but we don't like rehearsing a set any more than we used to. We split our time between improvisation and the usual "two take wonders" a la Foglizard.
Useless Records is proud to release what I've compiled as the "best of" Foglizard on 3 cd's. Disc one is the "Hits", disc two are Instrumentals, and disc three is the "Boner" disc of "B" sides and songs that narrowly missed inclusion on disc one.
Here's a video of "Von Douche", which has over 14,000 hits thanks in part to it's link to "Hot Chicks With Douchebags". It's the rare case where I sing verses I wrote, and whistle a "solo".
Jamaican Holiday Extended
Because it's hot as hell and one "Jamaican Holiday" isn't enough.
Jamaican Holiday
The weather's hot so I'm feeling Reggae. A lot of you probably just thought "Ugh! I HATE that Shit!", and I can understand why. This compilation was made for you.
When I use the word, I'm thinking of the music I love, most of which was recorded in the 1970′s. Ever since, what passes for music coming out of Jamaica is something else. Even contemporary Reggae trying to sound "vintage" has none of the charm of that original decade.
The '70′s were an exciting time in Jamaica, the island having attained full independence in 1962, there was a lot of optimism and hope mixed with some harsh reality. About two dozen musicians played on 90% of the records. There were about three rhythm sections and a handful of independent studios full of aspiring singers. Bob Marley among them. Not to mention some truly unique individuals, such as Lee "Scratch" Perry running the boards and making waves still felt today. Origins of DJ culture start here with artists like U-Roy, a local sound system DJ who began "toasting" over dub plates.
Side Two of is The Dub Sandwich.
Jamaican Holiday is the ultimate single cd collection. It has everything from sweet soul music to the deepest, darkest dub.
Give into the heat, move slowly, crack open a cold beverage (warm Red Stripe is terrible), and enjoy your Jamaican Holiday, wherever you are.
The doctor (Dr Alimantado) also recommends a nice big spliff to seal the deal.
This is soul music of the highest order.
Since all of these songs were originally released as vinyl records, and not a few of them ripped from vinyl by yours truly, this too begins with the "Needle Drop".
Note: After going to the printer's two errors were found:
On Side 3 L. Perry should be credited as producer of "To Be A Lover".
On side 4 Sugar Minott's name is misspelled.
Art included.
Now That's What I Call Bullshit 60
If I was in control of a radio station, let's call it WBBJ(W-Buzz-Baby-Jesus), my playlist would be based on Duke Ellington's concept of "There are two kinds of music. Good music, and the other kind".
They all begin with the "needle drop". This sound inspires delicious anticipation. I salivate when I hear it. Apparently the ancient Greeks used a bit of cacophony to start a performance, as it defined the silence immediately after. This particular needle drop is "The Night Tripper" by Dr. John. A record I found on the street in Soho.
2- "Campesina" by Spiteri, from 1973. Led by Venezuelan brothers, Charlie and George, Spiteri was released in England as an answer to Santana.
It never charted anywhere, and they didn't make any more albums. And so this one gem makes its mark in history as a collectors' 'must have' and an album that could have been…. but never was. Still, never too late to enjoy it! I don't always know where I found something, but in this case it's here.
3- "What's Right" by David Werner from his eponymous 1979 album. It's brilliant, and actually made the charts. Song writer, recording artist, and record producer, he is also known for his two RCA glam rock releases "Whizz Kid" and "Imagination Quota". All are worth checking out.
4- "Dirty Boys" is my favorite from David Bowie's latest, "The Next Day". (2013)
5- "Don't Swallow The Cap" by The National. I read a great review of this album in the NYTimes. Reminds me of '80′s Bowie. The jury's still out, but I like this song. (2013)
6- "Now" – Dion and The Wanderers. From his late '60′s album "Wonder Where I'm Bound", which no one bought, this song is powerfully good. With it's kind of California folk-rock arrangement, it doesn't sound a thing like "Runaround Sue" or any of his other hits. One thing for sure, the man can sing. (1968)
7- "Ride Your Pony" – Lee Dorsey. I chose this over "Working In A Coal Mine". (1966)
8- "The World Is A Ghetto" – War. I like to include a couple actual hits in the mix. The context elevates the more obscure tunes. That they hold their own is evidence that the biggest reason they didn't chart has more to do with luck than quality. (1973)
9- "Walking The Whippet" – Andy Mackay from his 1974 album, "In Search Of Eddie Riff". With a nod to "Telstar", this instrumental features Phil Manzanera, and is pretty much Roxy Music without a singer.
10- "Jungle Lullabye" – CW Stoneking from his 2008 album "Jungle Blues". This Australian singer songwriter guitar banjo player manages to evoke 1920′s music without sounding like a museum. This song is a favorite around my house. Great arrangement by the Primitive Horn Orchestra.
11- "Blue Monk" Original founding members of NRBQ, Terry Adams and Steve Ferguson from "Louisville Sluggers" (2006). Thoroughly affectionate and charming cover of Monk's tune.
12- "The "In" Crowd" by Dobie Gray is just cool. (1964)
13- "Stop Me, Citate Me" By The Fraternity Of Man, best known for "Don't Bogart Me" from "Easy Rider" Its original members included three musicians from Lowell George's band The Factory – Richie Hayward later of Little Feat, Warren Klein, and Martin Kibbee. This countrified psychedelic artifact tells a familiar tale with humor without being a novelty. (1968)
14- "Melody" Formed in 1990, Custard is an indie rock band from Brisbane, Australia. Working similar territory as XTC, they wrote short snappy pop songs with elements of rock n roll and the occasional pedal steel. "Melody" will stick in your head.
15- "Make Me Smile (Come Up And See Me)" by Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel for the album "The Best Years of Our Lives". Somehow I missed this when it came out in 1975. Infectious as hell, it reminds me of Eno at his glam-poppy best.
16- "Sad Is The Way That I Feel" Mark Eric (1969). Really obscure slab of Beach Boy homage. On a side note, Eric was also a teen actor, appearing on The Partridge Family, among other TV shows of the 60s.
17- "Shelby GT 356″ The Chesterfield Kings. From their foray into surf music "Surfin' Rampage" (1997). This Rochester NY institution has been exploring various forms of rock music since the 1980′s. They get all the details right, down to their outfits.
18- "Muswell Hillbilly" Southern Culture On The Skids take on The Kinks classic. I've been a Kinks fan since "You Really Got Me", and I can be pretty hard to please, but I think they get all the important things right on this. The rest of the album "Countrypolitan Favorites" (2007) is just as good.
19- "Be My Guest" Neil Finn From "The Kitchen Sink", a collection of rareties and demos. (2004)
20- "Car Song (Non-Album Track)" Fresh Maggots (1971). Impossibly obscure bit of early '70′s British folk. This catchy tune is more fun than anything else on the album.
21- "Freddie's Dead" Curtis Mayfield, 1972. Another actual hit. The single was released before the Super Fly album, and in fact before the film itself was in theaters. It peaked at #4 on the U.S. Pop Chart and #2 on the R&B chart.
22- "Played The Game Too Long" The Original Texas Playboys Under The Direction Of Leon McAuliffe(1979). I found this vinyl rip over at Willard's.

Jimmy Plagiarist
This post began as a feature on the underrated, yet highly influential Davey Graham. I was blown away when I acquired his 1964 album Folk, Blues, & Beyond, and first heard his amazing rendition of "She Moved Through The Fair". I've been into the British Folkies since way before breakfast, and I'd heard of him, but never ran across any of his records. I forget which of my favorite blogs first clued me in, but suddenly my whole understanding of the late '60′s folk thing shifted. The raga break in Fairport Convention's "Nottamun Town" didn't seem so brilliantly original. That eastern flavor is Davey Graham's contribution. He developed the DADGAD tuning in order to play oud music on his guitar while travelling through Morocco. It's also a sitar tuning.
Anyway "She Moved Through The Fair" sounded very familiar. That's because Jimmy Page, while a Yardbird, appropriated it, retitled it as "White Summer", and has performed it as a showpiece and signature song without ever crediting Graham for the arrangement or the tuning making it possible.
I bought "Hammer Of The Gods" for $2 at a flea market in Woodstock last weekend, and according to it's author, after touring Australia with the Yardbirds,
"Jimmy flew on to India, where he wanted to hear Carnatic Music. He arrived alone, in Bombay on the Arabian Sea at three in the morning with a duffel bag over his shoulder, and spent days in the streets, listening to itinerant musicians."
I don't know about you, but that sounds a little like a fantasy.
Two pages later when describing "Little Games", the subsequent , final, and only Yardbirds album featuring Jimmy Page he mentions one of the highlights being,
""White Summer," Jimmy's Carnatic madrigal that was his solo showpiece in concert"
I figure since he's a plagiarist he's probably a liar, too. I don't know about his India story, but as long as he's stealing a man's music, why not some of his legend as well?
Here's a little wikipedia on Davey Graham:
"Graham's spontaneity made him unreliable and unpredictable, which did little to advance his fame or endear him to concert organisers and the more commercial elements of the music world. In the late 1960s he was booked for a tour of Australia but, when his plane stopped for an hour in Bombay, he changed his plans and spent the next six months wandering through India."
Martin Carthy from the back of Folk, Blues, And Beyond
"Davy is one of the great originals on the folk scene; in fact I think he's probably the great original. Davy's discovery of DADGAD really was the great leap forward and his performance of "She Moved Through The Fair" in this tuning at the troubadour was mind blowing."
Carnatic madrigal my arse.
Many of Led Zeppelin's signature tunes are shameless rip-off's of other artist's ideas. All I can figure is that their manager, Peter Grant said something like, "They can go broke suing us."
In a 1990 interview with Musician magazine, Jimmy Page quickly soured when questions veered into this territory. The Q and A exchange is quoted below.
Musician: I understand "Dazed & Confused" was originally a song by Jake Holmes. Is that true?
Page: [Sourly] I don't know. I don't know. [Inhaling] I don't know about all that.
Musician: Do you remember the process of writing that song?
Page: Well, I did that with the Yardbirds originally… The Yardbirds were such a good band for a guitarist to play in that I came up with a lot of riffs and ideas out of that, and I employed quite a lot of those in the early Zeppelin stuff.
Musician: But Jake Holmes, a successful jingle writer in New York, claims on his 1967 record that he wrote the original song.
Page: Hmm. Well, I don't know. I don't know about that. I'd rather not get into it because I don't know all the circumstances. What's he got, The riff or whatever? Because Robert wrote some of the lyrics for that on the album. But he was only listening to… we extended it from the one that we were playing with the Yardbirds.
Musician: Did you bring it into the Yardbirds?
Page: No, I think we played it 'round a sort of melody line or something that Keith [Relf] had. So I don't know. I haven't heard Jake Holmes so I don't know what it's all about anyway. Usually my riffs are pretty damn original. [laughs] What can I say?
from wikipedia:
During a 1967 tour of the United States by English rock group The Yardbirds, Jake Holmes performed as the opener at the Village Theater in Greenwich Village on August 25, 1967. The Yardbirds were inspired by his performance and decided to work up their own arrangement. Their version featured long instrumental passages of bowed guitar courtesy of Jimmy Page, and dynamic instrumental flourishes. Page has stated that he obtained the idea of using a violin bow on his guitar from a violinist named David McCallum, Sr*., during his session days before joining the Yardbirds in 1966. At that time, it even had a little Eastern influence, as can be heard on some French television appearances. It quickly became a staple of The Yardbirds' live performance during the last year of their act.
The song was never officially recorded by the band, although a live version recorded on 30 March 1968 is included on the album Live Yardbirds: Featuring Jimmy Page under the alternate title "I'm Confused". Notably, it is the only track that has no songwriter credits on the release. Another live version of the song, recorded on the French TV series "Bouton Rouge" on 9 March 1968, was included on the CD Cumular Limit in 2000 and was credited "by Jake Holmes arr. Yardbirds."
When the Yardbirds disbanded in 1968, Page planned to record the song yet again, this time with Led Zeppelin. According to Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones, the first time he heard the song was at the band's very first rehearsal session at Gerrard Street in London in 1968: "Jimmy played us the riffs at the first rehearsal and said, 'This is a number I want us to do'." Led Zeppelin recorded their version in October 1968 at Olympic Studios, London, and the song was included on their 1969 debut album Led Zeppelin.
The Led Zeppelin version was not credited to Holmes. Page used the title, penned a new set of lyrics, and changed enough of the melody to escape a plagiarism lawsuit from Holmes — the song's arrangement, however, remained markedly similar to the version performed by The Yardbirds the previous year.While Holmes took no action at the time, he did later contact Page in regards to the matter. Page had not replied as of 2001. In June 2010 Holmes filed a lawsuit in United States District Court, alleging copyright infringement and naming Page as a co-defendant. The 2012 live album Celebration Day attributes the song to "Page; inspired by Jake Holmes", although the writer's credit with ASCAP remains unchanged.
Here is "Dazed And Confused" by Jake Holmes from his 1967 album, The Above Ground Sound of Jake Holmes. The Yardbirds saw Jake perform this and Jimmy Page bought the album at Bleeker Bob's the next day.
*I believe the origin of the violin bow can be seen in this YouTube video of The Creation playing their excellent "Making Time" in 1966. (Eddie Phillips brings the bow out at 1:40)
"Hammer Of The Gods" repeatedly states Led Zeppelin's affinity for the California sound ("Going To California"), especially San Francisco's Spirit. Here is a brief instrumental by Randy California, from Spirit (1967)entitled "Taurus". It's quite lovely and the central theme is the basis for "Stairway To Heaven".
"Black Mountain Side" from Led Zeppelin's debut, and credited to Jimmy Page is really Bert Jansch's arrangement of the traditional "Black Waterside" with a new title. Bert Jansch (11/03/43-10/05/11) was also influenced by Davy Graham, and like Martin Carthy, not adverse to giving credit. Here is "Black Waterside" from his 1966 album Jack Orion.
Led Zeppelin has been sued by and settled with bluesmen for several songs, "Whole Lotta Love", for instance. I didn't include them as the blues are slippery, the originals they copied were themselves built on other tunes. That's blues. I didn't mention that "Communication Breakdown" is a re-write of Eddie Cochran's "Nervous Breakdown" because it isn't as obvious. Most music is built out of other tunes. But you either render it unrecognizable, thus making it yours, or you give credit where credit is due.
Here are a couple Yardbirds tracks Jimmy would rather you didn't hear:
"Knowing That I'm losing You" later turned up as "Tangerine" with Keith Relf's uncredited lyrics intact.
The "original" "White Summer" from Little Games (1968)
"Usually my riffs are pretty damn original. [laughs] What can I say?"
Thanks to Willard for turning me onto "Taurus". While the post was taking shape I ran across Will Shade's fine article:

Burnt Garlic or "kulinary gangsta"?
I became aware of his existence last superbowl season and he bugs the shit out of me. He was a talking display hawking his "recipes" and "brand" image for some cracker company. In all the wrong ways a cross between Wolfman Jack and Billy Idol. That look was maybe edgy and shit in 1977, or 1991, but now he looks like a Saturday morning cartoon character. Like if there was a "Stinky" on Scoobee Doo.
To be more specific, this fu*ktard has co-opted every post WWII element of so-called hipster cool and blender-ed them into a grotesque caricature, so repellent that it really calls into question whether any hip affectations were ever cool. The answer is probably not. It's like a Les Paul with a flame job and dice for knobs. And little skulls for dots. In a crushed purple velvet tuck and roll faux alligator case. Something that would mostly attract those with more interest in image than substance. Or some CEO who didn't play, but wanted a guitar like Slash, only even cooler.
I'm sorry I couldn't let it go. I had to say something.
Number Two
As mentioned in the profile, and other previous posts, the original now that's what I call bullshit, was thrown together really quickly, but had a great flow and energy. If you make a lot of mix cd's, then you know some turn out better than others. A good one will stand up to repeated listenings. Some assemble easily and others don't. Number one was effortless and encouraged me to make another. Number Two had a lot to live up to. It took all week to assemble, with a couple failed prototypes along the way. This time the effort paid off. The result was a lot more variety, and a couple real real sleepers.
Things start off fine with memorable tunes by The Mermen, BRMC, Love Story In Blood Red, but really begin to go places with Ed Harcourt's "Hanging With The Wrong Crowd", followed by the aptly titled, "Nightmare". Duncan Browne is a reminder that being a singer song writer is not alway a bad thing. "Babe Rainbow" is beautifully rendered. Magic Sam's "Funky G Street" is a hair raising instrumental, Junior Kimbrough is transcendent, and Mattafix provides a conscious multi-culti international take on classic soul with "Big City Life".
Here's something I found about Nancy Boy:
Led by the progenies of two '60s rockers, hippy-dippy Donovan and blue-hatted Monkee Mike Nesmith, pomo new wavers Nancy Boy definitely rebelled against their musical pedigree, emphasizing fashion and style over traditional substance. Model Donovan Leitch and Jason Nesmith threw Bowie, Suede, Duran Duran, and Blur in a blender and served up their self-titled full-length debut in 1996, competing with the post-grunge, Creed-infested landscape of alternative music. With their skinny ties and eyeliner, they didn't stand a chance.
Anyway this is one of the better mixes, so I thought I'd share it. now that's what I call bullshit 2 was assembled during the first week of June, 2006. I listened to this the whole summer I spent down in South Jersey as a surf bum.

Number Fifty Two
A friend sent me a link to someone's idea of the greatest rock guitar solos on record because "Baby's On Fire", one of my first posts, and a guitar solo I'd nominate for some kind of "best" list, was on it. I can't remember what the other eleven tracks were, except I wasn't familiar with most of them, or my response was, "What?!". A brief email correspondence took place where I nominated a handful of solos that would be on my list, and got as far as promising it would be the theme for the next "Bullshit". I started to jot down some ideas, a little disappointed that "Baby's On Fire was already on Number Fifty when I realized I had no interest in compiling or listening to all that fretful wankery.
Also I'd collected the solo-less "Yummy, Yummy, Yummy" from Lux N Ivy's Favorites and already earmarked it for Now That's What I Call Bullshit 52.
All the Bullshits tend to follow the same pattern of eclecticism, so I lost the guitar solo theme. That said, a few of them made it onto the playlist. They are grouped together in a mini set consisting of "Old Pervert", possibly my favorite Kimberly Rew solo from The Soft Boys Underwater Moonlight. Interesting because this version is not on the cd reissue, where it has been replaced by a vastly inferior rendition. This version is dubbed from a cassette copy I made in 1986 of the original vinyl release. Next up is "Lounge Lizard" from Ian Hunter's first solo album featuring Mick Ronson on guitar. It's really hard to narrow Mick down to a single solo, but I think this one stands out for all the right reasons. After that comes "Tit-Nan-Darag", from Live, Love, Larf by French, Frith, Kaiser, and Thompson. Three out of four of those guys are well known for their guitar prowess. The other guy for the incredible drumming in Captain Beefheart's Magic Band. I hear the album isn't great, but this track smokes, and when Richard Thompson plays, I listen. It wasn't destined for my list, but his solo on Fairport's "Tale In Hard Time" is no laughing matter, either. It's not a solo, but Blixa Bargeld's guitar on "The Moon Is In The Gutter" is some of my favorite atmospheric noodling. Davy O'List plays some crazy shit on "The 'In' Crowd", Mick Ronson shimmers tastefully on "Up To Me", and the guitars on Acetone's "No Need Swim" are as gorgeous as you-fill-in-the-blank.
Keef's playing on "Honky Tonk Women" and Ron's solo on "Twisting the Night Away" would have both made the cut, but I've heard them too many times, so here they are together on "Not Fade Away" from The Stones Stripped Deluxe, where no one in the band sounds like they plan on fading away any time soon. And then there's Lou Reed on "You're Driving Me Insane", a song recorded by The Roughnecks shortly before forming The Velvet Underground, where he plays the practically same solo (if you can call it that) as "Run, Run, Run" from the "banana" album.
The Mekons always have good guitars, and are here because this song narrowly missed the cut on my post a few months back. One of the Mekons, Lu Edmonds, is currently playing guitar on tour with Public Image Ltd.
The Liquor Giants "I Don't Mind" is a dead ringer for Big Star. Too bad it wasn't covered by them on In Space.
Something by Chris Spedding would have found it's way onto the guitar list, check out Roy Harper's "The Game" on an earlier post, so I end the set with the Sharks hysterical "Kung Fu", from Jab It In Yore Eye(1977). One of those albums that wouldn't make it onto anyone's all-time list, but for some reason I played to death way back when, largely due to Spedding's incredible tone and economy coupled with Snip's charismatic vocals.
There isn't any guitar at all on Gene Krupa's "Scandanavian Baby", but it rocks nicely and comes from a history of Jazz record my parents bought at a supermarket when I was a toddler.
It's really about the songs anyway.

Game Description
Mind-blowing visuals highlight this creature-fest based on Oscar-winning director Peter Jackson's remake of the classic movie. Captured in the wilds of Skull Island - a land that time forgot - King Kong is brought to New York, where he wreaks havoc before meeting his end. Developed hand-in-hand with Jackson, King Kong immerses players in the world of the landmark film. Begin the game as Driscoll, held prisoner by Skull Island tribesmen. You'll battle T-Rexes, Velociraptors, Pterodactyls, and other menaces as you fight your way off Skull Island. But that's only the beginning of this first-person shooter/third-person adventure that alternates play between Driscoll and the mighty Kong.

The Harper Government has raised mandatory minimum sentences but, despite its ill-advised multi-billion dollar budget for new prisons, it has adamantly refused any financial support for replacing the antiquated overcrowded HMP in St. John's. The justice system in this province should therefore adopt an unofficial policy that would restrict sentences to periods of well below one-year where possible, or alternatively, above two years where it is not. This would help take some of the financial pressure off the province and put it where it belongs - on the federal government. As cited by this defence lawyer, sentences to a federal prison are often far more beneficial for offenders with substance abuse problems or mental disorders generally where recidivism is much higher and where there are few effective treatments at the local level. That all said, this is one crazy system.

A Day In The Life Of The Internet [INFOGRAPHIC]
There are close to two and-a-half billion people online around the world – this number has grown a heady 566 percent since the year 2000 – and 70 percent of them use the internet each and every day.

The National Lacrosse League introduced the new owners of the Columbus Landsharks today. Mike Gongas and Charlie Russo, the owners of the New York Saints franchise, will now own and operate the Landsharks while maintaining ownership of the Saints. The two Long Island, New York businessmen have a successful track record as team owners with an emphasis on
community involvement, especially for the youth.
"We are going to make the Landsharks a household name in this community", said Gongas. "If you come to a Saints game, you see lots of children and families. We are committed to quality family entertainment at an affordable price. Charlie (co-owner Charlie Russo) and I have done it in New York, and we will do it here as well."
Gongas and Russo will work in partnership with the Nationwide Arena and Columbus Blue Jackets of the National Hockey League to market the Landsharks.
The team will have a new front office and staff, with personnel to be announced in the near future.
The announcement of new ownership solidifies the continued commitment of the Landsharks and the League to the fans of Columbus. "We are looking forward to year number two in in Columbus", said Commissioner Jim Jennings. "I would like to thank Mike and Charlie in advance for the extraordinary effort they will put in here. When we introduced indoor lacrosse to Columbus last year,
we knew it would take some time for our game to catch on. We look to build on the base we established last season, and we look forward to being in Columbus for many years to come."

text: Commercialization seeks to ensure that the road agency operates along the same lines as any other infrastructure provider subjected to market discipline. This usually starts by defining the role of the agency by way of a mission or vision statement, from which it then derives its operational objectives. Among other things, this mission statement (PDF 40 KB) usually defines the agency's customers and, through that, encourages greater customer orientation, while performance targets are set to measure progress towards achieving these operational objectives (PDF 46 KB). The overall business planning process usually ends up as a rolling 3 to 5-year Corporate Plan (PDF 94 KB), combined with a one-year Contract Plan (PDF 67 KB) between the road agency (or its board) and the parent Ministry. Commercialization also results in other changes in the way the road agency operates (PDF 39 KB). The agency's staffing structure will usually be simplified and down-sized to create a small, technically competent, white collar organization that primarily focuses on letting and managing contracts for design, construction and supervision of works. The agency has more autonomy and is held accountable for results on the ground.

Salt version 0.11.0 introduced the reactor system. The premise behind the reactor system is that with Salt's events and the ability to execute commands, a logic engine could be put in place to allow events to trigger actions, or more accurately, reactions.
This system binds sls files to event tags on the master. These sls files then define reactions. This means that the reactor system has two parts. First, the reactor option needs to be set in the master configuration file. The reactor option allows for event tags to be associated with sls reaction files. Second, these reaction files use highdata (like the state system) to define reactions to be executed.
A basic understanding of the event system is required to understand reactors. The event system is a local ZeroMQ PUB interface which fires salt events. This event bus is an open system used for sending information notifying Salt and other systems about operations.
The event system fires events with a very specific criteria. Every event has a tag. Event tags allow for fast top level filtering of events. In addition to the tag, each event has a data structure. This data structure is a dict, which contains information about the event.
Reactor SLS files and event tags are associated in the master config file. By default this is /etc/salt/master, or /etc/salt/master.d/reactor.conf.
New in version 2014.7.0: Added Reactor support for salt:// file paths.
In the master config section 'reactor:' is a list of event tags to be matched and each event tag has a list of reactor SLS files to be run.
reactor: # Master config section "reactor"
- 'salt/minion/*/start': # Match tag "salt/minion/*/start"
- /srv/reactor/start.sls # Things to do when a minion starts
- /srv/reactor/monitor.sls # Other things to do
- 'salt/cloud/*/destroyed': # Globs can be used to matching tags
- /srv/reactor/destroy/*.sls # Globs can be used to match file names
- 'myco/custom/event/tag': # React to custom event tags
- salt://reactor/mycustom.sls # Put reactor files under file_roots
Reactor sls files are similar to state and pillar sls files. They are by default yaml + Jinja templates and are passed familiar context variables.
They differ because of the addition of the tag and data variables.
Here is a simple reactor sls:
{% if data['id'] == 'mysql1' %}
- tgt: mysql1
{% endif %}
This simple reactor file uses Jinja to further refine the reaction to be made. If the id in the event data is mysql1 (in other words, if the name of the minion is mysql1) then the following reaction is defined. The same data structure and compiler used for the state system is used for the reactor system. The only difference is that the data is matched up to the salt command API and the runner system. In this example, a command is published to the mysql1 minion with a function of state.highstate. Similarly, a runner can be called:
{% if data['data']['overstate'] == 'refresh' %}
{% endif %}
This example will execute the state.overstate runner and initiate an overstate execution.
To fire an event from a minion call event.fire_master
salt-call event.fire_master '{"overstate": "refresh"}' 'foo'
After this is called, any reactor sls files matching event tag foo will execute with {{ data['data']['overstate'] }} equal to 'refresh'.
See salt.modules.event for more information.
Knowing exactly which event is being fired and what data it has for use in the sls files can be challenging. The easiest way to see exactly what's going on is to use the eventlisten.py script. This script is not part of packages but is part of the source.
If the master process is using the default socket, no additional options will be required. Otherwise, you will need to specify the socket location.
Example usage:
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/saltstack/salt/develop/tests/eventlisten.py
python eventlisten.py
python eventlisten.py --sock-dir /path/to/var/run/salt
Example output:
Event fired at Fri Dec 20 10:43:00 2013
Tag: salt/auth
{'_stamp': '2013-12-20_10:47:54.584699',
'act': 'accept',
'id': 'fuzzer.domain.tld',
'pub': '-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----\nMIICIDANBgk+TRIMMED+EMZ8CAQE=\n-----END PUBLIC KEY-----\n',
'result': True}
Event fired at Fri Dec 20 10:43:01 2013
Tag: salt/minion/fuzzer.domain.tld/start
{'_stamp': '2013-12-20_10:43:01.638387',
'cmd': '_minion_event',
'data': 'Minion fuzzer.domain.tld started at Fri Dec 20 10:43:01 2013',
'id': 'fuzzer.domain.tld',
'pretag': None,
'tag': 'salt/minion/fuzzer.domain.tld/start'}
The best window into the Reactor is to run the master in the foreground with debug logging enabled. The output will include when the master sees the event, what the master does in response to that event, and it will also include the rendered SLS file (or any errors generated while rendering the SLS file).
Stop the master.
Start the master manually:
salt-master -l debug
While the reactor system uses the same data structure as the state system, this data does not translate the same way to function calls.
Changed in version 2014.7.0: The cmd prefix was renamed to local for consistency with other parts of Salt. A backward-compatible alias was added for cmd.
In state files the minion generates the data structure locally and uses that to call local state functions. In the reactor system the master generates a data structure that is used to call methods on one of Salt's client interfaces described in the Python API documentation.
The state declaration field takes a reference to the function to call in each interface. So to trigger a salt-run call the state declaration field will start with runner, followed by the runner function to call. This means that a call to what would be on the command line salt-run manage.up will be runner.manage.up. An example of this in a reactor formula would look like this:
If the runner takes arguments then they can be specified as well:
- env: dev
Executing remote commands maps to the LocalClient interface which is used by the salt command. This interface more specifically maps to the cmd_async method inside of the LocalClient class. This means that the arguments passed are being passed to the cmd_async method, not the remote method. A field starts with local to use the LocalClient subsystem. The result is, to execute a remote command, a reactor formula would look like this:
- tgt: '*'
- arg:
- rm -rf /tmp/*
The arg option takes a list of arguments as they would be presented on the command line, so the above declaration is the same as running this salt command:
salt '*' cmd.run 'rm -rf /tmp/*'
Use the expr_form argument to specify a matcher:
- tgt: 'os:Ubuntu'
- expr_form: grain
- arg:
- rm -rf /tmp/*
- tgt: 'G@roles:hbase_master'
- expr_form: compound
- arg:
- rm -rf /tmp/*
An interesting trick to pass data from the Reactor script to state.highstate or state.sls is to pass it as inline Pillar data since both functions take a keyword argument named pillar.
The following example uses Salt's Reactor to listen for the event that is fired when the key for a new minion is accepted on the master using salt-key.
- 'salt/key':
- /srv/salt/haproxy/react_new_minion.sls
The Reactor then fires a state.sls command targeted to the HAProxy servers and passes the ID of the new minion from the event to the state file via inline Pillar.
{% if data['act'] == 'accept' and data['id'].startswith('web') %}
- tgt: 'haproxy*'
- arg:
- haproxy.refresh_pool
- kwarg:
new_minion: {{ data['id'] }}
{% endif %}
The above command is equivalent to the following command at the CLI:
salt 'haproxy*' state.sls haproxy.refresh_pool 'pillar={new_minion: minionid}'
Finally, that data is available in the state file using the normal Pillar lookup syntax. The following example is grabbing web server names and IP addresses from Salt Mine. If this state is invoked from the Reactor then the custom Pillar value from above will be available and the new minion will be added to the pool but with the disabled flag so that HAProxy won't yet direct traffic to it.
{% set new_minion = salt['pillar.get']('new_minion') %}
listen web *:80
balance source
{% for server,ip in salt['mine.get']('web*', 'network.interfaces', ['eth0']).items() %}
{% if server == new_minion %}
server {{ server }} {{ ip }}:80 disabled
{% else %}
server {{ server }} {{ ip }}:80 check
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
In this example, we're going to assume that we have a group of servers that will come online at random and need to have keys automatically accepted. We'll also add that we don't want all servers being automatically accepted. For this example, we'll assume that all hosts that have an id that starts with 'ink' will be automatically accepted and have state.highstate executed. On top of this, we're going to add that a host coming up that was replaced (meaning a new key) will also be accepted.
Our master configuration will be rather simple. All minions that attempte to authenticate will match the tag of salt/auth. When it comes to the minion key being accepted, we get a more refined tag that includes the minion id, which we can use for matching.
- 'salt/auth':
- /srv/reactor/auth-pending.sls
- 'salt/minion/ink*/start':
- /srv/reactor/auth-complete.sls
In this sls file, we say that if the key was rejected we will delete the key on the master and then also tell the master to ssh in to the minion and tell it to restart the minion, since a minion process will die if the key is rejected.
We also say that if the key is pending and the id starts with ink we will accept the key. A minion that is waiting on a pending key will retry authentication every ten seconds by default.
{# Ink server faild to authenticate -- remove accepted key #}
{% if not data['result'] and data['id'].startswith('ink') %}
- match: {{ data['id'] }}
- tgt: salt-master.domain.tld
- arg:
- ssh -o UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no "{{ data['id'] }}" 'sleep 10 && /etc/init.d/salt-minion restart'
{% endif %}
{# Ink server is sending new key -- accept this key #}
{% if 'act' in data and data['act'] == 'pend' and data['id'].startswith('ink') %}
- match: {{ data['id'] }}
{% endif %}
No if statements are needed here because we already limited this action to just Ink servers in the master configuration.
{# When an Ink server connects, run state.highstate. #}
- tgt: {{ data['id'] }}
- ret: smtp_return
The above will also return the highstate result data using the smtp_return returner. The returner needs to be configured on the minion for this to work. See salt.returners.smtp_return documentation for that.
Salt will sync all custom types (by running a saltutil.sync_all) on every highstate. However, there is a chicken-and-egg issue where, on the initial highstate, a minion will not yet have these custom types synced when the top file is first compiled. This can be worked around with a simple reactor which watches for minion_start events, which each minion fires when it first starts up and connects to the master.
On the master, create /srv/reactor/sync_grains.sls with the following contents:
- tgt: {{ data['id'] }}
And in the master config file, add the following reactor configuration:
- 'minion_start':
- /srv/reactor/sync_grains.sls
This will cause the master to instruct each minion to sync its custom grains when it starts, making these grains available when the initial highstate is executed.
Other types can be synced by replacing local.saltutil.sync_grains with local.saltutil.sync_modules, local.saltutil.sync_all, or whatever else suits the intended use case.

The Charlotte Bobcats will get a top-five pick via Tuesday nights NBA draft lottery (8:30 p.m., ESPN), and based on the odds, theyll most likely choose fourth.
Will the Bobcats select a long-term keeper? History suggests the odds arent great.
Since their inception in 2004, the Bobcats have made top-five selections four times. An Observer study last spring demonstrated top-five picks are precious: Thirty-six of the top 100 players in the league, as identified by that study, were top-five picks, including 15 of the top 20 players.
The Bobcats top-five picks havent been precious: Three of those Emeka Okafor (2004), Raymond Felton (2005) and Adam Morrison (2006) are gone. Okafor was a solid center who was traded to New Orleans in 2009. Felton left in free-agency in 2010, with the Bobcats receiving no compensation for his loss. Morrison chosen third overall was one of the great busts in recent NBA draft history and is out of the league.
Michael Kidd-Gilchrist was chosen second a year ago. He had an uneven first season and was chosen second-team all-rookie team.
The Bobcats draft pick retention history is pretty threadbare. Of the 10 players chosen in the lottery (the first 14 picks) six are gone (two no longer in the NBA). Gerald Henderson will be a restricted free agent and three others Kidd-Gilchrist, Bismack Biyombo and Kemba Walker are still playing in Charlotte under their rookie contracts.
These next two drafts could provide the Bobcats a do-over. Along with the 2013 pick, the Bobcats might have three first-rounders in 2014 and all could be lottery picks. The Bobcats figure to miss the playoffs next season and are owed picks from the Portland Trail Blazers and Detroit Pistons that could come due in 14.
Luck of the draw
The Bobcats need to execute picks better, but theyve also been unlucky.
After the worst season in NBA history a year ago (7-59), the Bobcats hoped to get Kentucky center Anthony Davis as their consolation prize. But the weighted lottery gave the New Orleans Hornets the first pick, dropping the Bobcats to No. 2. The difference between Davis and Kentucky teammate Kidd-Gilchrist seemed considerable.
This season the Bobcats went 21-61, finishing one game better the Orlando Magic to avoid the worst record a second year in a row. With the second-worst record, the Bobcats get a 19.9 percent chance at the top pick tonight. The odds most favor them getting the fourth pick, at 31.9 percent.
The Magic get a 25 percent chance at the top pick. They can do no worse than fourth, a 35.7 percent chance.
Davis so distinguished himself in one Kentucky season that he likely would have been the top pick no matter who got it. The 2013 draft is neither as clearly defined nor as talent-filled.
It appears either Nerlens Noel, who replaced Davis as Kentuckys center, or Ben McLemore, a Kansas shooting guard, figures to be the top pick June 27. But questions remain regarding both.
Noel suffered a severe knee injury last winter and likely wont be available to play before January. While he demonstrated a knack for blocking shots, his frame (206 pounds over a 7-foot frame) is so slight he might struggle to hold his ground under the basket.
McLemore had a solid regular season, his only one in college basketball, but he did little in the NCAA tournament, shooting 2-of-14 in his first two tournament games.
Its less clear who would interest the Bobcats if they pick outside the top two. Possibilities include Georgetown small forward Otto Porter, Indiana big man Cody Zeller, Maryland center Alex Len and Nevada-Las Vegas forward Anthony Bennett.

With the introduction of the latest DLP Chipset called DDP442x, you can transmit from any source - a computer, set-top box, game console, Blu-ray player or smartphone - to your projector. In the home, DLP SmartSource 3D projectors are compatible with HDTV broadcasts and high-definition DVD's for exceptional detail and clarity.
Most important, you can display any video source, including HDMI v1.4a and VGA. You will be amazed with the life-like images exploding off your home theater screen. Basically, a DLP projector has the capability to easily show any 3D content on the big screen.
In the classroom, studies have shown that students that engage in 3D lessons will benefit academically, especially in the STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) fields.* Starting in 2009, DLP and educators conducted educational pilot programs in several parts of the world. At the end, these studies have shown that:
1) 3D increases academic impact, especially in the science, technology, engineering and mathematics
2) 3D is proven to engage students in the lesson
3) 3D improves the behavior of the classroom
4) 3D provides another option for teachers to perform their job better
Since 2009, DLP brands have been shipping 3D projectors in almost all of their product lines. DLP SmartSource 3D is available in many options and popular resolutions like SVGA, XGA, WXGA, and 1080p, including various lens throw configurations such as standard, short-throw, and ultra-short throw.
Nothing beats the big-screen experience of 3D in the classroom, office or home through a DLP SmartSource 3D projector. Another reason DLP is the world's leading projection technology.
*3D in Education White Paper written by Dr. Anne Bamford, Director of the International Research Agency. Research conducted in seven countries in Europe from October 2010 to May 2011.

Out of 26 million Texans, you may have an idea to change the world. You may have had several ideas to change the world. But only a tiny minority of you pushed through the U.S. Patent office from application to successful patent. We've seen Texans change the world many times over. Jack Kilby did it with Texas Instruments in 1958 with the integrated circuit, causing the start of the digital revolution, which, in part, is why you can read these words over your electronic device.
Over the last few years, Texas Business has brought its feature: Texas Business Patent of the Day. This list is of the ones that were either extremely clever, odd or strange. One thing becomes apparent from these patents and the patent that runs daily in Texas Business—Texans have a unique mind set.
Though the history of the Corn Dog is disputed, the State Fair of Texas claims to have introduced the Corny Dog sometime between 1938 and 1942. As a paean to that invention that now sits in the freezer section of every grocery store in the southwest, here are the fried foods the State Fair of Texas has introduced, or tried to introduce, in the last seven years.
Dead Texas musicians live on every time you hear their songs. Their songs play everywhere, so the dead Texas musicians appear to be immortal. Here's the short list.
Don't get caught up with John Wayne religion. For one thing, he's not Texan. He's in some fine movies involving Texas, most notably The Searchers, but none of his movies can make the best cut of Texas movies. Here's the short list.
Tourist Traps. Some are absurdly large. All are monuments to the bizarre notions of the human spirit.
The short simple list.
Nothing to agonize over. Simply the best.
Texas Business reports: AUSTIN—Campus Advantage, a student housing company, receinlty closed its acquisition of two properties, a $100 million joint venture with one of the nation's largest pension funds.
The first acquisition, Hawks Ridge, formerly The Lodge, in Iowa City, Iowa, serves the students of the University of Iowa.
The property contains 201 units and 561 beds and is 100% occupied. Hawks Ridge is the only large-scale purpose-built student housing in the market, and the University currently master leases 174 beds.
The second acquisition, Crimson Student Living, formerly Sterling Crimson, in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, serves the students of the University of Alabama and Stillman College.
The property is in its first year of operations, opening in August of 2011, and is located in close proximity to campus. The Class A property contains 316 units and 700 beds and is 95% occupied.
The two acquisitions officially placed the remaining equity in a $100 million joint venture with one of the nation's largest pension funds. The joint venture was created in 2007 to source and acquire high-quality student housing assets in close proximity to leading universities nationwide.
Currently, Campus Advantage has acquired seven properties, totaling 1,540 units and 4,749 beds in Texas, Florida, Missouri, Kansas, Iowa and Alabama. The portfolio has an average occupancy of more than 99%.
Debt financing for the joint venture's acquisition was sourced through Berkadia Commercial Mortgage, utilizing both agency and life insurance company lenders.
"We are excited to add these two communities to a strong portfolio of leading student housing communities nationwide," said Campus Advantage executive Michael Orsak in a prepared statement. "Our joint venture with one of the nation's largest pension funds has been very successful and we look forward to a long-term relationship."
Campus Advantage currently manages nearly 30,000 beds at 50 communities in 20 states.
Campus Advantage is an Austin-based real estate firm that offers higher education management, development, acquisition and consulting services.

Group wants RDA to do more to help women and minorities get local jobs
By Michelle L. Quinn Post-Tribune correspondent November 20, 2012 4:10PM
Updated: December 22, 2012 6:25AM
Figures given to the Northwest Indiana Regional Development Authority regarding the numbers of minorities working on RDA projects aren't explicit enough for some, but the organization wants to help fix that.
A report presented by Desila Rosetti, founder of Westville-based Organizational Development Solutions Inc. to the RDA board of directors during its Tuesday morning meeting stated that 60 percent of those working on Gary's RDA projects are employed by minority- or women-owned businesses; 50 percent are working in East Chicago's; 34 percent are in Hammond's and Whiting's; and 56 percent are in Porter County's.
As well, of the total $114,593,500 in monitored contracts, $22,527,646 of it, or 19.65 percent, has been awarded to minority- or women-owned businesses.
The report stopped short, however, of breaking down the wages these subcontractors pay their employees because the subcontractors are often leery of publicizing the amounts out of concern for competitive advantage, though Rosetti said she did have the numbers should the board want to view them.
But those numbers are monitoring the wrong thing, according to the Rev. Dwight Gardner and the Rev. Cheryl Rivera of the Northwest Indiana Federation of Interfaith Organizations. What they and several meeting attendees want to know is, who's getting paid?
"We have no doubt who's doing the work and who's getting left out," Gardner said. "They're continuing to monitor the wrong thing, which is man-hours paid to the most disparaged ZIP codes."
Rivera said she and Gardner met with U.S. Rep. Pete Visclosky, D-Merrillville, Oct. 22, who asked them to come up with 25 people who would benefit from work on the RDA projects. The two presented applications from 151 people at the meeting.
"They said they couldn't find people, so we brought them 151," Gardner said. "And a significant portion of those positions are unskilled positions, but less than one-half go to Lake and Porter counties."
RDA Executive Director Bill Hanna acknowledged the topic of minority- or women-owned businesses is broad and that the Federation would like a much narrower focus, but getting one is often difficult because of employers' reluctance to divulge certain information, plus the narrower numbers are more fluid because people tend to move around throughout the county. Nevertheless, he agreed the RDA should do more and is working toward that end.
"We've agreed to go through the process of working with outside agencies such as WorkOne, Indiana Plan and Labor to help improve access to these jobs," he said. "We're working on scheduling the next meeting with them and (Visclosky)."
In other business:
The board voted to accept the town of Pines' application for a $160,000 Regional Challenge grant so it can start funding a series of planning studies that will help the town create a tourism spot on the lakeshore's east end. The Porter County Board of Commissioners has agreed to front the $40,000, or 20 percent, match required of the Regional Challenge Grant by the RDA.
The RDA announced it has hired Sherry Ziller to its first-ever chief operating officer position. Ziller, who's been the finance and grants manager since 2006, will continue to handle much of her financial duties as well as report to Hanna. The position pays up to $80,000, Hanna said.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

A couple accused of selling their children to a sex film ring will remain in custody until their case is completed.
40 year-old Connie Sue McCall and her husband, 61 year-old Ronnie Lee McCall waived their right to a detention hearing on Tuesday in federal court in Greeneville.
A federal grand jury charged the couple with selling children for the purpose of creating child porn and other sex-related charges.
Back in July 2012 Johnson City police arrested the McCalls.
The charges against them then were felony child abuse and neglect. At the time, investigators said the family lived in a mobile home and described the conditions inside the home as "deplorable."
