Arrows in the Gale: Magnolia Electric Co. July 25th, Austin, TexasPosted by: lo in audio
It took me four years to see Magnolia Electric Company (MECo). I had bought What Comes After the Blues (Secretly Canadian, 2005) and Didn't It Rain (Filed under "Songs:Ohia" with Secretly Canadian, 2002) in the Summer of 2005 before heading off to Columbus. Both albums struck deep chords in me, and since that introduction, I have laid hands on just about everything in the MECo/Songs:Ohia catalog. My chance to see MECo finally arrived whilst they have set about their most ambitious tour since 2007, fast on the release of their new LP "Josephine" (Secretly Canadian, 2009). Having got to spend a little bit of time before the show at soundcheck, little did I imagine I would hear MECo. launch into the hot Austin night with the high lonesome "An Arrow in the Gale", swan song on the Josephine LP ending with the lines—"Which of us is free Josephine? Now in the time I have become a MECo fan, I have seen school days come and go, seen separation, buried family, handled an estate, lost all my property to vandals, been shot, moved three times, only to get a divorce and move cross country—which goes to say, as Molina puts it in "Leave The City" (What Comes After the Blues, 2005) —it was a hard time that I've come through…it's made me thankful for the blues." These are hard words to listen to if you dont know what it means, and difficult earn—if you can know it. Altogether, impossible to fathom the dignity of—without hearing it in Molina's soulful iambic tremelo vocals. I get it that people think MECo are Americana/Blues aspirants, but two distinctions must be made—Americana is American roots, not just delta and chicago blues, but Ohio/Virginian and Kentucky too. Molina being an Ohia expatriate, its honest, and the man is direct and sincere off stage as much as on stage. Second, MECo aint genre blues—and testament to this fact—is keyboardist Mike Brenner's funky carny fingering on "Little Sad Eyes" —which sent a visible wiggle through the crowd while stashed bottles began to appear and people pushed forward to the stage until they were 3 feet from the MECo guitar strings. At this point two more questions came to mind—one, how would MECo manage the handheld-radio engineered sax laid down on "O'Grace" sans a sax section? Second, what, if anything would we hear from the back catalog, between the sheets of MECo and Molina's solo work? The answer to the first question came with Brenner's keyboarding on "O'Grace" which filled the composition so well, it must have been an alternate take at some point. The answer to the second question began to unfold as MECo took right away into a searing rendition of "The Dark Don't Hide" —which in all the live versions I have heard—cannot be matched by seeing it in person—"Something held me down and made me make a promise/ That I wouldnt tell if the truth forgets about us". Forward, when in Texas—2-step, so hot off the rails of "The Dark Don't Hide It" MECo laid down a beautiful version of the mournful "Shenandoah", and I did 2-step, if only for a few bars, with a beautful dark haired spanish woman who had already had had too much to drink barely five songs in—"There's just so much a man can miss/And just no end to what he can regret". Shifting pace again, MECo moved into "Leave the City", aforementioned favorite—and a Spanish flavored honky-tonk rambler that live, left me and the crowd howling as Molina finished "Baby both of us have had enough." Now to the quasi-arcane material—"Hard to Love a Man" recorded with Jennie Benford on the What Comes After the Blues LP highlighted what MECo are capable of vocally as they delivered it without leaving any unintended space in rendition, no small feet, the track full of quiet. If you don't own the Sojouner Box Set (Secretly Canadian, 2007), then two tracks from the set might have left you wondering—a track entitled "What Comes after the Blues" a country/waltz driver from the Nashville Moon LP that presses so hard into the dirt, Molina's gospel roots show right through—"Now Noah must have had a lot of room on the ark/ For all of them broken hearts/Stay with me now old crimson pal / Pain like this will even outlive the dark." "Shiloh" from Josephine followed, itself a re-working of "Shiloh Temple Bell" from the Shahola LP of the Sojourner Box Set— another gem that lends credence to the fact that MECo aren't playing from their musical heroes, but playing alongside them. Jason cursing Austin's condo curtained noise ordinance before saying goodbye, MECo ended the night with a cover of Warren Zevon's "Lawyers Guns and Money" and played it with sass that easily makes it a choice for a future live compilation. 10 songs, 5 new, 4 older and re-imagined and one cover worthy of a live cut. All, worth the wait.
If you've waited, dont read the critics, just take this as notice of what to prepare before arriving. Buy and listen to, Jospehine. Repeatedly, you'll be rewarded by being able to appreciate the little things. Stash your flask and be sure to bring enough to share. Hit the ATM for $50 cash so you can buy a MECo poster designed by a local artist just for tour stop ($10) and to purchase the Sojourner Box set($40)—which, you can get signed on the spot. Plan on being three feet from MECo and the band members saying hello. Get there early enough to see The Donkeys and The Monohans, they play their hearts out. Leave ready to check back over the catalog, and last but not least, between now and when you go, make a donation to the Evan Farrell Memorial Fund, former MECo. bassist who died in December 2007 —and whose influence and spirit loom large on the Josephine LP, the intense tours schedule and Magnolia Electric Co's live show.

It's not enough to come up with ideas in your strategic planning sessions and then just hope they'll be put in place. The plan needs to be organized in writing. In a 1995 survey of family businesses conducted by Arthur Andersen Consulting and MassMutual Life Insurance Co., more than half the respondents said they had strategic plans. A follow-up survey in 1997 asked a more definite question: How many family businesses have written strategic plans? With the insertion of the word "written," the percentage dropped to 30.
Yet the difference between having a plan and having a written plan is significant. According to the 1997 Andersen/MassMutual survey, there's a high correlation between the existence of a written strategic plan and higher sales revenues and greater international sales.
This need not be daunting, however. Limiting a strategic plan's summary to a page or two helps break down the psychological resistance to implementing it.
And implementation is what the process is all about. Once a plan is written, it must be communicated to the family and other employees. Once shared, the plan becomes a unifying force within the family and the company because it reflects the family's values and goals--and plans for reaching those goals.
The process of strategic planning starts with thinking, assessing and evaluating. The plans are then written down, communicated and implemented. They must be continually monitored, evaluated and updated. Weaving the family and business parts together to form a viable strategic business plan for the family business is tricky. Still, it's worth remembering that when a plan is put together, the likelihood that the business will survive and prosper from generation to generation is strengthened.

This is becoming one of the hottest red wine values in California. Made by Bedrock Winerys Morgan Twain-Peterson, Shebang!s non-vintage Red VII is a blend of 46% Zinfandel, 40% Grenache, 5% Alicante, 5% Petite Sirah and 4% Sangiovese that was aged in 50% new French oak. There are 3,500 cases of this $15 beauty, so readers should be buying it by the case. A gutsy California Cotes du Rhone-like effort, it boasts plenty of peppery, meaty, roasted Provencal herb notes intermixed with kirsch liqueur and spice box characteristics as well as a lush, dense, gorgeously fruity, complex style. This killer offering admirably demonstrates what field blends of Mediterranean varietals and old vines can achieve in California. Drink this beauty over the next 1-3 years. (RP)
(6/ 2014)
Shebang is a project of Bedrock Wine Co.'s Morgan Twain-Peterson, who happens to be the son of Ravenswood founder Joel Peterson. While Bedrock's focus is on small-lot, single-vineyard expressions, Shebang is an exuberantly juicy, multi-vintage red blend with a lot of pedigree as well. Made with the same attention to detail as Bedrock's vintage wines--picking at respectable sugar levels (not too high!), native yeast fermentation and judicious use of French oak, according to the winery--the results are deliciously affordable and delicious. "The cuvee VII is predominately Zinfandel and Grenache with a little Alicante Bouchet, Petit Sirah and Sangiovese, much of which comes from old vines," says the winery." Adding, "Rather than giving you a flowery worded description of the wine, which are always like 50% BS, why don't you find out for yourself?! We think you will be very pleased."

Ross was originally a solicitor who transferred to the Bar in 2009. Ross has developed upon key skills in predatory work and has dealt with many high profile and complex cases within the context of criminal law. Ross is well aware of the requirements for core business structures and is an experienced lawyer having built up cases from grass roots level (generally from the police station) through to adopting his own successful style of advocacy within court. Ross practices in all areas of litigation, but specialises in criminal law. Ross is in the Crown Court and other courts across the whole country on a daily basis.
Ross is a door tenant at our Chambers, which means that he operates his practice outside of Chambers, although in order to instruct him you should contact our senior clerk directly who will be able to access Ross' diary remotely. Ross explores many different aspects within the law and those include running a niche training organisation focusing on public access training for barristers; this makes him a good choice by members of the public to instruct such his services in areas of law that include road traffic, debt recovery, contract disputes, employment as well as general civil and criminal law.
Through the ability and flare that Ross brings to his practice, he was recently voted to join the Access to the Bar Committee as an elected member, run within the Bar Council. Ross now also works in an advisory capacity for the Bar Council to lend support for the future direction of the Bar.
Through the recent changes in such dynamics for barristers, Ross is currently advising various Chambers on procurement structures and assists with relevant policy guidelines to develop tailor-made business models. Ross is now recognised not just for efficient advocacy, but also for his organised modern business approach to running a successful practice. In many respects this shows that Ross is not just focussed on accomplishing his techniques centred on advocacy, but through creating a structure from grass roots level he then reaps the rewards in the court room. This makes Ross an obvious choice for clients and individual members of the public who need assistance on preparing a case, advising on a case and also offering confident advocacy in court.

Some reports have suggested the two may have been executed for engaging in homosexual behaviour, though the official Iranian report was that they were hanged for raping a 13-year-old boy. The album was critically acclaimed and went on to sell over 1 million copies worldwide.

Join Richard Blanco, the celebrated poet at President Obama's inaugural ceremony, for a weekend devoted to the spirit and craft of poetry.
"The writing of the inaugural poem, 'One Today,' reconfirmed for me that the creative process is as much about craft as it is about the spirit," Blanco says.
Whether you are a beginning writer or more advanced, you are welcome to explore both these aspects of writing with Blanco. Through readings, class discussions, and shared exercises, we touch on some of the essential elements of crafting a poem, including imagery, construction of the line and stanzas, rhythm, and poetic closure.
We also discuss the manner in which poetry is a spiritual journey to reach oneself and others. As such, we explore how a poem's emotional center and spiritual reason for being affect its relative success or failure, and discuss matters relating to process, inspiration, and writing practices.
In this dynamic and interactive workshop setting we critique each other's work with a balanced focus on both the spirit and craft of our poems.
Bring 40 copies of three of your poems for distribution.
The Children's Program is generally available during standard workshop hours only. Contact Omega registration at 800.944.1001 for details.
The above schedule is subject to change at the discretion of the faculty
Richard Blanco stands as the youngest, first Latino, and first openly gay person to serve as the Presidential inaugural poet. He joins the ranks of such luminary inaugural poets as Robert Frost, Maya Angelou, Miller Williams, and Elizabeth Alexander.

Asmall European kinglet.
(AMc-33: displacement 170 (standard); length 76'6" (overall); b. 21'5"; draft 4'5"; speed 9.0 knots; armament: 2 .50-caliber machine guns, 4 rifles)
The wooden-hulled purse seiner S. G. Giuseppe, built in 1937 at Wilmington, Calif.., by the boatbuilders Trigoning and Carlson, was acquired by the Navy from M. B. Giuseppe, of San Pedro, Calif., on 5 November 1940, and delivery and acceptance by the Commandant, 11th Naval District, took place the same day. Conversion to a coastal minesweeper began immediately, at the Campbell Machine Co., of San Diego, Calif.; renamed Firecrest and designated as a coastal minesweeper (AMc-33), the ship was placed in service on 4 April 1941, Ensign Charles S. Judson, Jr., USNR, officer-in-charge.
By the end of April 1941, Firecrest was operating out of the Section Base, San Diego, north of the destroyer base at that port. In concert with Courser (AMc-32), she began daily operations in San Diego harbor, streaming her sweep gear; she also conducted independent sweeping operations during that time. As the spring of 1941 gave way to the summer, Firecrest alternately swept the harbor waters with her magnetic or acoustical gear, patrolled, or conducted training. On 17 July 1941, during a towing operation in a heavy ground swell, she lost one of her 400-pound anchors.
After a brief period out of commission pending the arrival of new parts for her 540 kilowatt generator engine (3-4 December 1941), she resumed active operations on 5 December 1941, underway on assigned duty planting drill mines. Two days later, however, the Japanese surprise attack against the Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor resulted in emergency duty for Firecrest at the harbor entrance, with four new men being assigned to her complement.
With her home yard at Mare Island, Vallejo, Calif., and her home port, San Diego, Firecrest was transferred from duty under Commander, Western Sea Frontier to Commander, Naval Local Defense Forces, 11th Naval District, on 16 March 1943. She conducted coastal patrol and minesweeping operations into the following summer. Firecrest's services "no longer required in minesweeping duties," Commandant, 11th Naval District, was requested (20 July 1944) to remove all type and military equipment and place her out of service with an eye toward future disposition. Accordingly placed out of service on 18 September 1944, Firecrest was stricken from the Navy Register on 14 October 1944 and delivered to the War Shipping Administration on 3 April 1945.
Reverting to her original name, S. G. Giuseppe, soon thereafter, and under the ownership of Antonio D'Ambra of Los Angeles, Calif., she operated in the fishing trade into the early 1950's.
Firecrest was the name assigned on 17 May 1945 to the minesweeper designated AM-394, slated for construction at Bay City, Michigan, by the Defoe Shipbuilding Co., but contracts for construction were canceled on 1 November 1945 and the ship was never built.

A four-time World Champion there seems to be no stopping Sebastian Vettel although many hopes the new regs may at least slow him down.
Having made his debut in 2007 when he replace Robert Kubica for the USA GP - which he finished eighth in the USA - Vettel was called up by Toro Rosso to finish out the season where he scored more points with a P4 in China.
A full season in 2008 saw him claim an unexpected pole position and victory in the wet at Monza and landed him a drive with Red Bull Racing.
Runner-up in 2009, it wasn't long before the Vettel era began.
Winning four titles on the trot from 2010 to 2013, Vettel is statistically the best driver in today's Formula One. That, though, hasn't stopped the criticism.
Proving to be ruthless when he stole a victory from his team-mate in Malaysia 2013, Vettel's goldenboy image took a knock while questions of whether it is the car or the driver continued to dog him as did boos at grand prix weekends.
Now chasing a record-equalling fifth successive title, F1's new regulations could slow Red Bull down. Or they could prove that Vettel is as good as the stats say.

FREE Personality Test – Determine Your Myers-Briggs Personality Type In Just Five Minutes!
At some point, nearly everyone asks themselves: "What is my personality type?" followed by next questions such as "What career or job should I choose?" and "What college or degree would best match my personality type?"
While some mysteries of humanity may never be answered, modern psychology has made great strides in understanding the various human personality types that exist. While you may never know how much of your personality is natural ("God-given") vs. created (nurtured by your environment), you can achieve better understanding about what drives your personal habits and thought processes by taking our scientific personality test, below, and thus better contemplate your life decisions going forward.
Below is a FREE personality test based on the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, which was developed in the 1960s by Katharine Cook Briggs and her daughter, Isabel Briggs Myers, during World War II for American women entering the workforce. It is based on the research of Carl Gustav Jung, a Swiss psychiatrist, and remains the most popular personality indicator in the world. At the bottom of this page, you will be able to explore careers, degrees, and colleges related to your personality type.
Every person has two faces. One is directed towards the OUTER world of activities, excitements, people, and things. The other is directed inward to the INNER world of thoughts, interests, ideas, and imagination. While these are two different but complementary sides of our nature, most people have an innate preference towards energy from either the OUTER or the INNER world. Thus one of their faces, either the Extraverted (E) or Introverted (I), takes the lead in their personality development and plays a more dominant role in their behavior.
Extraverted Characteristics
- I usually act before I think
- If I'm away from other people too much, I feel quite stranded, like I'm missing out on something
- I feel motivated and inspired by being around other people; I welcome new situations and conversations
- I enjoy a variety of friendships and situational changes
Introverted Characteristics
- I usually think before I act
- If I'm around other people too much, I feel quite annoyed, and require alone time to feel refreshed
- I feel motivated and inspired by my own thoughts and ideas, and I sometimes forget about other people
- I prefer a limited amount of friendships and situations
The Sensing (S) side of our brain notices the sights, sounds, smells and all the sensory details of the PRESENT. It categorizes, organizes, records and stores the specifics from the here and now. It is REALITY based, dealing with "what is." It also provides the specific details of memory & recollections from PAST events. The Intuitive (N) side of our brain seeks to understand, interpret and form OVERALL patterns of all the information that is collected and records these patterns and relationships. It speculates on POSSIBILITIES, including looking into and forecasting the FUTURE. It is imaginative and conceptual. While both kinds of perceiving are necessary and used by all people, each of us instinctively tends to favor one over the other.
Sensing Characteristics
- I usually think about today's events, or "right now" kinds of issues
- I use common sense to find practical solutions to solve problems
- My memories are focused on facts and specific details about the past
- I best improvise and learn about life based on my past experiences
- I prefer clear and concrete information; I dislike guessing or surmising when facts are "fuzzy"
Intuitive Characteristics
- I usually think about future issues and potential possibilities
- I use creative thinking and imagine scenarios to solve problems
- My memories are focused on patterns, context, and relations
- I best improvise and learn about life from theoretical understanding
- I am comfortable with ambiguous, "fuzzy" data and often enjoy figuring out what the "bigger picture" is
The Thinking (T) side of our brain analyzes information in a DETACHED, objective fashion. It operates from factual principles, deduces and forms conclusions systematically. It is our logical nature. The Feeling (F) side of our brain forms conclusions in an ATTACHED and somewhat global manner, based on likes/dislikes, impact on others, and human and aesthetic values. It is our subjective nature. While everyone uses both means of forming conclusions, each person has a natural bias towards one over the other so that when they give us conflicting directions - one side is the natural trump card or tiebreaker.
Thinking Characteristics
- I rely on facts and logic when making most of my decisions
- I naturally focus on what tasks and milestones need attention
- I am easily able to provide an objective, critical analysis
- I accept conflict as a normal part of relationships with people
Feeling Characteristics
- I rely on personal feelings when making most of my decisions
- I naturally notice when people and their feelings need attention
- I prefer seeking a consensus of opinion with the people around me
- I am unsettled by conflict with others and try hard to avoid it
All people use both judging (thinking and feeling) and perceiving (sensing and intuition) processes to store information, organize our thoughts, make decisions, take actions and manage our lives. Yet one of these processes (Judging or Perceiving) tends to take the lead in our relationship with the outside world . . . while the other governs our inner world. A Judging (J) style approaches the outside world WITH A PLAN and is oriented towards organizing one's surroundings, being prepared, making decisions and reaching closure and completion. A Perceiving (P) style takes the outside world AS IT COMES and is adopting and adapting, flexible, open-ended and receptive to new opportunities and changing game plans.
Judging Characteristics
- Plan many of the details in advance before moving into action.
- Focus on task-related action; complete meaningful segments before moving on.
- Work best and avoid stress when able to keep ahead of deadlines.
- Naturally use targets, dates and standard routines to manage life.
Perceiving Characteristics
- Comfortable moving into action without a plan; plan on-the-go.
- Like to multitask, have variety, mix work and play.
- Naturally tolerant of time pressure; work best close to the deadlines.
- Instinctively avoid commitments which interfere with flexibility, freedom and variety

Spicy Guitar Review: Free VST Virtual Guitar for Software-based Musicians
For people interested in digital music production, try the recently released free audio software -Spicy Guitar. I personally use Ableton Live but I got bored with the techno sounds it produced. I have an acoustic guitar and I tried recording some strumming riffs with it but I got frustrated that my hands cannot play the melody and rhythm in my head. If you are still a mediocre guitar player like me, we should all try the free VST plug-in, Spicy Guitar.
Spicy Guitar is a virtual synthesizer that's modeled to produce realistic acoustic guitar sounds. Since it's a VST plug-in, it needs a VST (Virtual Studio Technology) host such as Ableton Live, Cakewalk or Logic Audio to take advantage of this software's powerful guitar synthesizer.
Spicy Guitar Review: The developers, Pierre-Andre and Benoit, have created one of the world's best virtual guitarist software. It is almost as good as the $249 product, RealGuitar from MusicLab which I currently own. Spicy Guitar's guitar tones are purely virtually generated which is unlike RealGuitar that uses recorded samples of real guitar instruments.
Spicy Guitar music software comes with 9 different virtual acoustic guitar instruments, 4 folk, 2 classical, 1 jumbo, 1 gypsy and 1 flamenco. It also offers both nylon and steel string sounds. Based on my hands-on review, the acoustic audio generated by Spicy Guitar is not as full or as natural as those produced by MusicLab's RealGuitar. However, if you tweak it and add some doubling technique, Spicy Guitar's virtual guitar sound actually comes as natural sounding as it can be. I bet the average musician will even be fooled to think it's a real guitar that's playing!
Watch the Spicy Guitar in action in this video:
What I love about Spicy guitar is that it's the first guitar synth software that has realistic guitar playing techniques. On this VST plug-in, you can do palm muting, string bend, legato and vibrato! It's instant technique execution through the use of a MIDI controller too! Just use the pitch wheel or sustain button on a MIDI keyboard such as the Korg Nano USB Digital Music Controller to create professional guitarist tricks!

Product Rating:
Overall these are decent units, They are chromed brass so they are soft. Be sure to use a good wrench if you dont want to muck up the body. This can be a little tricky to install in certain areas as the wrench contact area is thin and hard to get to at certain angles. One unit has a chatter as the gas goes by the check ball but still seals fine.
perfect fit

A judge rejected prosecutors' efforts Tuesday to jail a former school nurse until she stands trial on charges she molested a 13-year-old boy.
A prosecutor accused Scottsdale resident Courtney Bisbee, who is free on $100,000 bail, of violating conditions of her release by developing a relationship with the boy's father in order to influence the victim and witnesses in the case.
Judge Warren Granville ruled in Maricopa County Superior Court that Bisbee didn't violate any conditions of her release, but that her actions could lead to future criminal charges, which he didn't elaborate on.
Bisbee is not allowed to "initiate contact of any nature with the alleged victims" while she is free and her case is pending trial, court documents state.
According to court documents and police reports, the former Horizon High School nurse attended a family court hearing regarding child custody issues between the boy's divorced parents in August.
Defense attorney John Gaertner said Bisbee had permission from the court's agency that supervises people who are free on bail to attend the family court hearing.
Bisbee and the father, whose name the Tribune is withholding to protect the boy, now 14, both told police Bisbee had an interest in the outcome of the hearing.
"So that I could talk to (the victim) about, about what happened, you know why is, why is he doing this," the father is quoted in a transcript of a conversation with a Scottsdale detective.
The father believes the boy is lying.
"To this day, I still don't believe it's true," the father said Tuesday.
Bisbee is accused of fondling the boy and having him fondle her during a short relationship in February.
According to a police report, she said they only kissed.
She has pleaded innocent, and her trial is scheduled to begin Dec. 13.
The father said he contacted Bisbee and they had dinner once with Bisbee's mother to talk about the case. He said their relationship consists mostly of telephone calls.
Granville said Bisbee is prohibited from contacting the father, but he can contact her.

RIM patents sliding QWERTY keyboard w/ Trackball
Maybe a touch screen BlackBerry is in RIM's future after all. RIM has filed a patent today showing off a new slide out keyboard, which would come from under the screen. The patent which is titled "HYBRID PORTRAIT-LANDSCAPE HANDHELD DEVICE WITH TRACKBALL NAVIGATION AND QWERTY HIDE-AWAY KEYBOARD" would make perfect sense for RIM's next generation berry. The description of the patent is as follows:
A device is disclosed for use in two different orientations. In one orientation, the keyboard is exposed to the user. This orientation is named the landscape orientation because the device will be positioned such that its width is larger than its height. The user would opt for the landscape orientation for tasks that require the keyboard, such as inputting data, drafting emails, sending emails, and other functions typically associated with a standard computer. The other orientation is named the portrait orientation because the device will be positioned such that its height is larger than its width. In addition, the keyboard is not used in this orientation and therefore hidden away. The user would opt for the portrait orientation for tasks such as making and receiving telephone calls and for reading documents and emails. The device detects the orientation positioned by the user and modifies the elements shown on the display screen so that they are presented in the correct orientation to the user. [Source]

"Please thank the guide today for a most enjoyable tour."
It's wonderful when a customer sends an e-mail with the above praise. And that's exactly what happened after Sue Grimditch's Town Hall tour on Tuesday 7 January 2014.
So for a fully detailed, definitive, de-luxe Manchester Town Hall tour, this is the only option.
* Meet Midland Hotel, Peter Street.
* Tuesdays at 11am, Sundays at 2.30pm.
Sometimes we cannot guarantee unlimited access. Please check website before setting off.
Manchester's municipal palace in all its grand Gothic glory comes alive with a tour devised by Ed Glinert, author of "The Manchester Compendium". New Manchester Walks's Town Hall tour takes in everything: the glorious Gothic architecture, detailed analysis of the Ford Madox Brown Murals, the statues, the building's religious symbolism, portraits, politics – even the prison cell: from Ouroboros, the animal that guards the entrance, to the plans to demolish the building; from the explanation of the Order of the Garter crest to the creation of the atom bomb.
The tour has been devised by Ed Glinert and no one knows the building better. Glinert is the only Manchester tour guide who has been there during all the great Town Hall events of the last 30 years…from the palace coup of 1984, when the position of Lord Mayor was abolished, to the carving of some of the last Freeman of Manchester awards on the council chamber wall.
If you want to understand Manchester Town Hall, be guided around by New Manchester Walks.
Meet: outside the Midland Hotel steps, Peter Street.
Cost: £7 (£6 concessions).
Do I need to book? Because of the huge popularity of our Town Hall tour, the building managers have now kindly asked us to limit the numbers to 25 per tour. So we would be grateful if you could let us know you intend coming by dropping us an e-mail at email@example.com.
* If you have a large group, that's no problem. But please let us know, so we get on a second guide!
Bring: Expectations of being overawed and amazed.
End: Closely examining the famous Ford Madox Brown Murals or supping in the sumptuous Sculpture Hall cafe (evening tours excepted).
• Our Town Hall Tour guides are Ed Glinert, John Alker, Sue Grimditch and Steve Bourne. All have worked hard on creating the finest Town Hall tour known to mankind.

Tight Times at Time Inc.
Free SnappleŌĆöand Rainbow Room membershipsŌĆöno more.
Jesse Oxfeld, former Gawker scribe and current senior editor at New York magazine, gives a great oral history of Time Inc.'s once-lavish expense accounts.
Take, for instance, former staff writer Joel Stein's (via the Daily Beast):
ŌĆ£I somehow got them to pay for my Rainbow Room membership. Free breakfast every day over at the top of 30 Rock. I think I just sort of snuck it in. I donŌĆÖt think there was a rationale at all. And then my FriarŌĆÖs Club membership I also expensed. There was some rule that may have been true, or we have made up, that it was OK to expense lunch if we took each other out. Not every day, but often. It would be, ŌĆśNot anything good in the cafeteria? LetŌĆÖs go out and have a ŌĆśbusiness discussionŌĆÖ and expense it. It was outrageous. When I left the staff, I was sad to say goodbye to all my friends there, but the really hard thing was giving up that AmEx card. I gave it a little funeral, and I was crying over it.ŌĆØ

Definitions for ostracodermˈɒs trə koʊˌdɜrm
This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word ostracoderm
Random House Webster's College Dictionary
os•tra•co•dermˈɒs trə koʊˌdɜrm(n.)
any of several extinct jawless fishes of the Ordovician to Devonian periods that had the body enclosed in an armor of bony plates.
Category: Paleontology
Origin of ostracoderm:
1890–95; < NL Ostracodermi, pl. of Ostracodermus < Gk ostrakódermos with a shell
Princeton's WordNet
extinct fish-like jawless vertebrate having a heavily armored body; of the Paleozoic
Ostracoderms refers to the armored jawless fishes of the Paleozoic. The term does not often appear in classifications today because it is paraphyletic or polyphyletic, and has no phylogenetic meaning. However, the term is still used as an informal way of loosely grouping together the armored jawless fishes. An innovation of ostracoderms was the use of gills not for feeding, but exclusively for respiration. Earlier chordates with gills used them for both respiration and feeding. Ostracoderms had separate pharyngeal gill pouches along the side of the head, which were permanently open with no protective operculum. Unlike invertebrates that use ciliated motion to move food, ostracoderms used their muscular pharynx to create a suction that pulled small and slow moving prey into their mouths. The first fossil fishes that were discovered were ostracoderms. The Swiss anatomist Louis Agassiz received some fossils of bony armored fish from Scotland in the 1830s. He had a hard time classifying them as they did not resemble any living creature. He compared them at first with extant armored fish such as catfish and sturgeons but later realizing that they had no movable jaws, classified them in 1844 into a new group "ostracoderms" which means "shell-skinned".

The search for an 82-year-old Glencoe man continues, but officials are becoming less optimistic as more time passes and he is not found.
Harvey Caplin was last seen by his wife about 7:30 p.m. Tuesday when he walked away from his home near the intersection of Dundee Road and Forestway Drive.
Caplin, who suffers from dementia, was known to go to Starbucks, a local forest preserve, grocery and retail stores (some as far away as Northfield) and the Glencoe Public Library.
Local authorities have conducted a search involving helicopters, snowmobiles and diving teams, but close to 72 hours later, there have been no signs of the man. They have also reached out to hospitals throughout northern Illinois hoping he had been assisted by someone.
"We're hoping and praying for the best, but if no one picked him up, the chances are not in his favor given the weather we have had," Glencoe Deputy Police Chief Alan Kebby said.
Village President Larry Levin said Thursday night that the search effort has been coordinated with representatives of the Department of Homeland Security, the Cook County Forest Preserve District and neighboring communities.
"We've had hundreds of people conducting a very thorough search," Levin said.
After Caplin disappeared, Kebby said K-9 units picked up a couple scents on Dundee Road, but the extreme temperatures make those odors unreliable. Police also said they searched the train tracks and his house on Forestway, and sent cell phone alerts to neighbors.
Backyards of neighbors who are out of town for the winter have been checked as a precaution. Public safety officials may also conduct a checkpoint near Dundee Road to ask motorists if they have additional information.
On Thursday, authorities searched the Skokie Lagoon bridge near the Botanic Garden on Dundee Road. There, divers noticed broken ice in waters about five feet deep. Divers did not go into the water, instead using a sonar camera unit. The depths of the lagoons can be more than 30 feet, making the task all that more challenging.
"We searched shore to shore, taking into account currents," Kebby said.
In addition, there was scheduled to be a snowmobile search on Friday with volunteers expected to come to the area Saturday morning for a foot search of forest preserves.
"These are volunteer professionals," Kebby notes. "These are people who know to search for people. They are commissioned and accredited. Depending on the weather, we may be assisted by K-9 units, and that is being coordinated by Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management Services."
Yet, despite the resources being pooled, there have not been any signs of Caplin.
"This is probably one of the most exhaustive searches in my 35 years here," Kebby said.
The Deputy Chief concedes the odds are getting shorter for a good conclusion to the matter.
"From a search and rescue, we're running out of options," said Kebby.
Anyone who may have seen Caplin is asked to call Glencoe Police at 847-461-1135.

GDC 2014: Proletariat's 'World Zombination', a Massively Online Zombie Apocalypse
March 18th, 2014 1:23 PM EST by Jared Nelson in GDC 2014, News, Upcoming Games
Developer Proletariat is here at GDC showing off their interesting looking massively multiplayer strategy game World Zombination. It's a classic tale of humans fighting against a zombie invasion, but with the twist that you can play as either side. The MMO element has to do with how many players will all be plugged into the same planet at the same time, either fighting to infect the world or fighting against it. Here's a demo of World Zombination with a look at both the zombie and the human sides...

Consumer Rights
Seniors Legal Rights
If a product or service disappoints you, it is your right to complain. In addition, Minnesota law also provides protection for consumers. The recipe for consumer satisfaction is to know your rights and use them.
Three-Day Cooling-Off Law
Minnesota's Home Solicitation Sales Act (more commonly known as the "Three-Day Cooling-Off Law") provides important protection when you buy goods or services in your home, over the telephone or at sales for personal and household purposes held in motels or auditoriums. When a contract is worth more than $25 you have three business days to cancel the sale. Cancellation under this law must be made in writing. Keep a copy of your letter. Mailing the letter by certified mail gives you added protection. You will know the letter was received, and you will know who signed for it. But remember, the law does not cover sales conducted at a normal place of business, like a store or car dealership.
Writing a Complaint Letter
When you want to let a company know that its product or service has disappointed you, a complaint letter can be an effective means of communication. You have the right to complain. Writing a letter gives you the opportunity to describe your disappointment, and let the company know what you expect it to do for you. (If you pursue your complaint in person or over the phone, keep notes of the conversations including who you talked to and when.)
When you sit down to write a complaint letter, first take time to organize your thoughts. Here are some additional tips to keep in mind:
- Include your name, address, home or work telephone numbers, and account number, if any.
- Include the date and place you made the purchase, who performed the service, specific product information such as the serial or model number or warranty terms, what went wrong, who you dealt with to try to resolve the problem, and what you want done to correct the problem.
- Include copies, not originals, of all documents. Ideally this will include canceled checks, bills, sales receipts, warranties and contracts.
- Be reasonable, not angry or threatening, in your letter.
- Be brief and to the point.
- If you can, say something positive about the company or product.
- Get the Most for Your Money
To ensure that you are satisfied with every purchase, follow these tips:
- Read and follow product and service instructions.
- Keep all sales receipts, warranties, service contracts and instructions.
- Check your contract for any statement about your cancellation rights.
- If you have a problem, contact the company as soon as possible. Trying to fix the product yourself might cancel your right to service under the warranty.
- Keep a written record of your contact with the company.
- If you paid for your purchase with a credit card, you have important "chargeback" rights that might help you get your money back.
- Type your letter if possible, or make sure your handwriting is neat and easy to read.
- Keep a copy of all letters to and from the company.
- You might want to send the letter by certified mail. This will cost more, but will give you proof that the letter was received and tell you who signed for it.
Where to Send Your Complaint Letter
- Check the product label or warranty for the name and address of the manufacturer.
- If you need additional help locating company information, check the reference section of your local library or use the Internet.
- In Minnesota, the Secretary of State provides addresses for companies incorporated in the state.
- Remember to do business with a company you will be able to find later. It might be difficult to find companies in other states or those with only post office boxes as addresses.
Filing a Consumer Complaint
If your problem is not resolved you may decide to file a consumer complaint with
the Attorney General's Office. Attach the letter and copies of all documents you sent to
the company. Include information about
everything you have done to try to resolve your complaint.
The Attorney General's Office provides free mediation to resolve disputes between consumers and businesses. Mediation is an informal process that requires the voluntary participation and cooperation of all parties. Mediation works well when all parties are willing to make reasonable compromises. In fact, the Attorney General's Office successfully resolves about 70 percent of the complaints it receives and annually returns more than $2 million to Minnesota consumers.
Unfortunately, not all disputes can be resolved through mediation. Sometimes the communication between parties breaks down and cannot be restored, or one side may be unwilling to compromise. Or, in some cases, a company may be out of business and unable to provide assistance. If you are not satisfied with the results of mediation, Attorney General staff will often refer you to the best source for assistance, or explain the options you may have to pursue your claim. Sometimes pursuing a more formal resolution, such as arbitration, if it is available, or taking the matter to court, may be appropriate.
Mediation through the Attorney General's Office can only take place before you start formal action (such as arbitration or a lawsuit). The Attorney General's Office cannot represent private citizens in legal cases.
Legal Action
Taking legal action should be your last resort. However, if you decide to exercise this right, be aware that you might have to act within a certain time period. Conciliation Court, where you don't have to hire an attorney, may also be an option for you. You can request the complaint papers and get general information from the Court Administrator. The maximum claim you can currently seek through Conciliation Court is $7,500. Contact the Attorney General's Office to receive a free guide to Conciliation Court.
The Attorney General's Consumer Protection Office
The Attorney General enforces Minnesota's laws against false or fraudulent advertising, and enforces the laws to prevent consumer fraud. Helping consumers exercise their rights in the marketplace is a priority for the Attorney General.
The Attorney General's Consumer Protection Office operates a consumer assistance telephone line that answers questions and may advocate for consumers if they have a complaint.

Reducing Junk Mail and Sales Calls
Your Rights
Federal law forbids a telemarketer to call you once you have asked to be put on the telemarketer's "do not call" list.
Violators of this law are liable for up to $500 dollars in damages per call and up to $1,500 per willful violation. Let the company know that you are aware of this law.
What to Include
You should send a letter or call the following organizations and companies and tell them that you want to be placed on their "do not call," "do not sell" or "do not mail" list. If you send a letter, list all variations in the spelling of your name, address, phone number and include the names of the other household members.
When you order from a catalog or sign up for a credit card, include a note saying: "Do not rent, trade, sell or give away my name, address or phone number."
Reduce Junk Mail
You can reduce junk mail by sending a letter to:
Mail Preference Service
Direct Marketing Association
P.O. Box 9008
Farmingdale, NY 11735-9008
If you contact the Direct Marketing Association (DMA), your name will be removed from
all DMA member lists for five years.
It may take up to three months for you to see a decrease in the amount of mail you receive. Remember, this does not eliminate all "junk" mail. You will continue to receive mail from companies and organizations that do not belong to the DMA.
To stop pre-approved credit card offers and other unwanted mail, call the "Opt Out" hotline for Equifax, Experian and Trans Union Credit Bureaus at: 1-888-567-8688.
Reduce Telemarketing Calls
To remove your name from telemarketing lists, write to:
Telephone Preference Service
Direct Marketing Association
P.O. Box 9014
Farmingdale, NY 11735-9014
Like the Mail Preference Service, this will only stop Direct Marketing Association members, and you will continue to receive numerous other calls from other sources.
The major long-distance phone service providers will also place you on their "do no call" lists. Call them at:
