Explore Opportunities
Many opportunities exist for undergraduate students to pursue research and scholarly or creative work in their disciplines. In addition to financial and logistical support from Binghamton University, a wide variety of grants, fellowships, awards and internships from external sources is available, including support provided by museums, libraries, archives, laboratories and research foundations. These experiences can be fully or partially funded or on a volunteer basis. Some can be pursued during the summer, while others can be pursued during the academic year or over the winter break.
We encourage you to start looking for opportunities early, to seek advice from your department or program faculty and to apply for all possible opportunities. Although the availability and level of support can vary depending on your area of interest, external support can make the difference in helping you gain experience in your field.
As a starting point, take a look at these internal and external resource listings:
Resources at Binghamton to encourage and/or support undergraduate research and scholarly or creative work
Summer Opportunities from external sources
If you are interested in pursuing research at a particular research center, museum or archive, check its webpage for research opportunities. If you don't know where to start, an Internet search can produce valuable results.
You should start looking for summer research opportunities early. Not early April or May, but over the winter break. Many experiences accept a limited number of participants, such as the National Science Foundation Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) programs. Make sure you know the application deadlines for the programs that interest you and apply on time — or early — if you can.

Say Merry Christmas and annoy a Liberal
ObamaCare is smoldering in rubble, and we should expect the Democrats to jump onto something – anything – that will give them a chance to stop talking about it. That's why it was unsurprising to watch the Democrat Party launch themselves into a complete meltdown yesterday over a tee shirt sold in the National Republican Congressional Committee online store. The GOP committee, though, isn't backing down. "Happy | Read More »

MODULE: Pivotal Response Training (PRT)
Pivotal Response Training (PRT) is a method of systematically applying the scientific principles of applied behavior analysis (ABA) to teach learners with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). PRT builds on learner initiative and interests, and it is particularly effective for developing communication, language, play, and social behaviors. PRT was developed to create a more efficient and effective intervention by enhancing four pivotal learning variables: motivation, responsivity to multiple cues, self-management, and social initiations. According to theory, these skills are pivotal because they are the foundational skills upon which learners with ASD can make widespread and generalized improvements in many other areas. The PRT model has gained a strong foundation in empirically supported research over the past 25 years or more. The ultimate goal of PRT is "to provide individuals with autism with the social and educational proficiency to participate in enriched and meaningful lives in inclusive settings" (L. K. Koegel, Koegel, Harrower, & Carter, 1999, p.174).
This module will describe the fundamental principles of PRT, its conceptual framework, and how it can be implemented in a variety of settings with learners who display a range of ability levels and who have differing needs. Throughout the module, many terms are highlighted. Definitions of these terms may be found in the glossary.

I'm 2 months pp and am just starting pilates. I still have my belly, hips, fat arms, etc.
My DH and mother would never, ever bring it up though and certainly not nag me about it. I don't know if they are but don't let them make you feel shitty about yourself. You just had a baby.
Wow...if my husband and my mother were doing that, I would probably tell them that they could go live together. Then I would kick them in the shins. What an awful thing to do someone who has just had a baby.
Anyway, after the violence died down, I would probably do cardio and yoga classes
This makes me mad for you!
First, I'd tell them to back off and STFU.
As for losing weight, I started counting calories and writing down everything I ate. I've limited myself to 1500 calories a day. I cut out most fast food and I was also able to start taking a mom & baby yoga class. I started my "diet" (It's not really a diet, more of a change in the way I eat) on Sept 7. In the 3 months I've been doing this, I'm down 20 lbs. A total of 30 lbs since I had DD 5 months ago. It's slow going since I'm not doing any exercise, but it's steady and I can see real results, so I'm keeping it up. Good luck!
Time to tell some nosy family to STFU and mind their own business.
I run and do pilates or Tae Bo regularly. I weigh 25 pounds UNDER my pre preg weight and I STILL have a belly. It took 9 months to get it there, and I am sure it will be that long to get it off of there. Just try to exercise and eat sensibly. It will come off. The filter between your brain and mouth is much stronger than mine. I would have put some peeps in their proper place.
um if my mother and H told me to lose the fat around my belly I would kindly tell them to drink a big glass of STFU.....
I didn't lose the "fat" yet... so don't know
I agree with this! You are 3 mo. pp, wtf are they expecting? Supermodel status?
I'm almost 5 mo. pp, and I still have a belly. And A$$. And thighs like what. And you know what, I workin' it for the time being. I hate it, but i'm not going to wake up tomorrow and be back in the 4's.
Um, first of all I would tell your mother and hubby where to shove it. That is beyond rude in my opinion.
But, to answer your question, I am 4 months pp and I haven't done a lick of exercise except taking walks with him and BF. I am 5 lbs under my pre-pg weight at this point, but I definitely still have a "muffin top." My doc told me at my 6 week pp not to go crazy with crunches and stuff bc it took your skin about 6 months or to regain its elasticity so working out a lot wouldn't tighten you up as much as you wanted.
Frankly I've been too busy with the baby and other things to think much about working out, but DH and I are both going to join a gym after the holidays. I'm going to try to lose the belly but its not a huge deal to me....I had a baby and I'm proud of that. If I have a little extra flab around the middle then so be it, its part of my "badge of honor" as a mommy....or something like that. I'd rather have that than be heavier in the face...that is where I would really like to lose weight (and where I see it in pics.)

Cant access a drive due to "deny all" permissions set by my own
Hi all,
I wanted to prevent the guest users on my laptop from accessing D: drive. So from my admin account, I set the permissions on my D: drive to deny all for the Users group, without even looking at all the permissions listed. I thought these permissions would affect only the non-admin group....but I went wrong and now cant access any file in D: even from the admin account.
Have some serious work in that drive, and need some urgent help in getting back my data...any help would be appreciated !
Thanks !

Before removing users permissions, you should always add your user account to the permission list. These links may help:

Read through the enitre thread(s). Of particular usefulness will be the posts by Barman and KarlSnooks. There is some really good information in these threads that you may find quite helpful.

With the same user you changed permissions you need to be able to remove them. Remove only the Deny rule from the Security tab. Just look for Properties, Change, Remove, Advanced and options like that.

there is one think I think you can try.... go here:
Trinity Rescue Kit | CPR for your computer
boot into this live linux and use the winpass (just winpass) command to unlock the super admin account that is by default hidden. then using the account you should be able to give your orignal account access to the drive.
hope it helps you out...

If you have set "deny all" as the permission on the root of the drive and allowed it to apply to subfolders, you're pretty much done. A "deny" permission overrides any "grant" permission. Hope you have backups!
|My System Specs
|28 Jun 2011
Here is a relevant link, with a possible solution:
security - Revert "Deny" permissions in Windows 7 - Super User
and a google search on the matter:
"deny all" as the permission - Google Search
and finally, a primer on the use of Xcacls:
How to use Xcacls.exe to modify NTFS permissions
If it turns out that you are unable to regain access to the drive, you will be able to recover all your data using a Linux live disc, such as Ubuntu. a fairly simple process.
Post back to let us know your progress.

The Giving Network selects Presbyterian and non-Presbyterian organizations on the local, national and international levels to receive financial support from Rutgers Presbyterian Church. The Giving Network also has responsibility for inviting members of the Rutgers family to participate in annual Stewardship campaigns. Stewardship is what makes it possible for Rutgers to support these worthy organizations.
The Giving Network was formerly called the Benevolence and Stewardship Committee. It was renamed in 2011 to emphasize that there is collaboration across the Rutgers community in ensuring that gifts are directed effectively. We take input from committees and individuals when considering where to direct financial support. We select organizations that are in alignment with the mission priorities of Rutgers Presbyterian Church; that can benefit highly from our level of contribution; that allocate a significant percentage of dollars raised to programs; and that will not develop a dependency on our funding. Difficult choices must be made as there are so many deserving, well-run organizations.
We are pleased to highlight on this page a few of the outstanding organizations selected by The Giving Network to receive financial support from Rutgers Presbyterian Church in Spring 2012. Check back often as our list will rotate. A full list, with links to websites, can be found here. Many of these organizations have received our financial support in prior years as well. Along with our contribution we send each of them our best wishes for continued success with their important work.
In addition, the Deacons of Rutgers Presbyterian Church have invested $ 45,000 of their reserves with Oikocredit U.S.A., a global cooperative established in 1975 by the World Council of Churches which aggregates investor money from people in the developed world and then re-distributes those investments to creditworthy microfinance institutions in the developing world. The investment earns 2% interest per year, and is combined with funds from other individual and group investors to provide capital to a network of 570 rigorously-selected microfinance partners in 70 countries.
Rutgers also has invested about $ 3,000 in revolving loans through Kiva, a non-profit organization that connects people through lending to alleviate poverty.
By working to share the results of our research and advocate for evidence-based reforms to public policy, we will exponentially increase our impact in the coming years.

Trick out your marker for under $20...
Posted 11 August 2008 - 11:27 AM
I found that I would usually see my opponents marker first, then their body, since the guys I play with are always wearing full camo.
But, I had already purchased my black A-5...
I really liked the look of the camo a-5, but I didn't feel like messing with selling mine, ect.
So, I headed over to Bass pro shop. In their hunting area they have tons of different types of camo tape, for guns. I picked the realtree style, and then some soft camo tape for my hopper, and some camo leaves, to break it all up. (this stuff is available at most sporting goods stores)
Spent about 2 1/2 hours while watching tv with an exacto knife and presto, custom marker.
And it works great. Last time we played I was guarding the flag, crouched down beside a tree, and three guys started walking right toward me. I stayed perfectly still, and they were looking right at me, but didn't see me until the front guy was about 15 feet away!
You should have seen his eyes when he realized that he was staring into the business end of my A-5!
He got blasted, (and he was so close that I could actually watch the paintball break on him). I even got the guy behind him, but the third guy was able to dodge behind a tree.
sorry about the cell phone picks, but you get the idea.

Cheaper than Dirt - Camo tape
I like the fact that it goes on easy, stays put, but it comes off easily, so I can change patterns to match where I'm playing. It also protects your gun/gear from scratches and such. Other delaers and companies like McNatt have other patterns, like ACU, Woodland, winter, etc. just do a search for "camo tape" or "Camo form " - Happy Hunting!

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Nuttin' but Net' started by ETGator1, Apr 11, 2014.
He may not even be leaving SJU.
ESPN's Jeff Goodman says Florida is in the mix for Horford.
In Franz's basketball recruiting update today, he made mention of Jeff Martin transferring from Villanova as the only graduating transfer that makes sense for UF. I don't disagree with Franz very often, but if Jeff Goodman is right and other insiders have said Horford is a possible yes, I think Horford makes a lot of sense and especially so with the strong likelihood of Tre Mourning going to Georgetown.
I would love to see us get another post player, and Horford has size, which we will need to counter UK next season.
Who are the other schools being mentioned as possible destinations for Horford?
Haven't seen a definitive list in the few articles discussing his transfer. Latest quote I found was that in addition to Florida, "there's a few schools in the mix." That article indicated the interest between Florida and lil Horf was mutual.
Horfords tourney experience could help us next year, being we have a younger core. He could be a good leader in the locker room. Seems as far as one year fits, he makes a lot of sense.
Yep...he is a grown ass man with a couple very deep NCAA tournament runs under his belt. Invaluable addition if it comes to pass.
So would he start at the 5 with Walker at the 4?
Would he for sure start over Harris (if Harris keeps his act together)?
Honestly seems like a better fit for us than him if he's looking for a lot of minutes.
But heck I'd love to have him.
My guess would be Harris, Chris Walker and DFS as the front court starters with Horford, Murphy and Devon Walker coming off the bench, but who knows?
Harris is such a wildcard next year. He could either be off the team or lead the conference in blocked shots. And as freakishly talented as Walker is, I would be surprised if he weighs more than 225 at the start of next year.
That makes Jon Horford a welcome addition.
5 Harris/Horford
4 Walker/Murphy
3 Finney-Smith/Robinson
DeVon Walker will have find his minutes with the guards or at the 3 if foul trouble/injuries dictate.
I can see Billy Ball giving every team we play 40 minutes of hell. Looks to me like 2014-15 could be another special season with the sky being the limit.
Not sure why you would assume Robinson would play ahead of Devon, at least at the 3.
Once Devin learns the O, IMO he will play ahead of Dwalk, who is just not that great...other than a 7-8 game stretch where he made some 3's, he was a non factor all season...Devin is a special talent, a future pro IMO...
Horford coming as a grad student means that he will have to meet UF's Grad School minimum standards for GRE scores and GPA and have a department that wants him. I hope that this isn't an issue if he wants to come here.
As with Bullis, I'm extremely high on Robinson. Wouldn't be shocked if he is starting by the end of the year (or at least given a bunch of minutes), with DFS pushed to the 4.
Depends how he picks up the defensive side of the game. That's obviously hugely important to Billy when handing out minutes.
Devin is def a future pro, maybe a future all-star. Obviously a long way to go, but he has all the requisites.
Well, seeing Jon went to UM, which is no academic slouch either, I think he'll be fine.

I would love to be a bird.
I love hearing them when I wake up in the morning (thank you spring!) because I always ended up with a nest in my windowsill when I was little; I think it is one of the nicest ways to wake up. I also have dreams every once in a while where I am flying over rivers and trees and I can see everything. Those are my favorite dreams :)

- 2 ounces dried shiitake mushrooms
- 10 cups chicken stock or low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/3 cup chopped fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 3/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 1/2 pound chicken or tofu, cut into small bite-size strips or chunks
- 1/4 cup lime juice
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons mushroom flavored soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- Hot chile oil, for drizzling
- 2 tablespoons thinly sliced scallions
- Combine shiitake mushrooms and 3 cups of the chicken stock in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. Remove from heat and let stand until mushrooms are tender and broth is flavorful, about 30 minutes. Remove mushrooms and discard stems. Thinly slice caps and reserve. Strain broth through a fine mesh sieve, combine with the remaining chicken stock and set aside.
- In a medium saucepan heat the vegetable oil and, when hot, add the ginger, garlic and crushed red pepper; cook for 2 minutes, or until fragrant. Add the chicken stock and reserved shiitakes and bring to a simmer. Cook for 30 minutes. Add the chicken or tofu and stir to combine. In a small bowl or cup, combine the lime juice and cornstarch and stir until smooth. Whisk the cornstarch mixture into the hot soup and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes. Add the soy sauce and sesame oil and serve the soup, drizzled with hot chile oil to taste, and garnished with some of the sliced scallions.

The decades-old controversy concerning the Saint Patrick's Day Parade is continuing for another year. Mayor Bill de Blasio says he will not march in the parade due to organizer policies against outward displays of gay pride. Josh Robin filed the following report.
A mayor marching up Fifth Avenue seems as much a Saint Patrick's day tradition as kilts and bagpipes.
But the 109th mayor?
"No, I'm not planning on marching in the parade, I haven't in the past," said Mayor Bill de Blasio.
De Blasio says that's because the parade leaders have long denied marching privileges to gay organizations. He didn't march as Public Advocate.
Depending who you asked, his refusal as mayor set of cheers of pride...
"I applaud the mayor on his decision," said Public Advocate Letitia James.
And also cries of sacrilege.
"Certain things should not be political and this is one of them," said Councilman Eric Ulrich of Queens.
The parade sponsors didn't return a request for comment.
Ulrich says the mayor should reconsider.
"Giuliani marched in the parade, Bloomberg marched in the parade, Mayor Koch certainly marched in the parade. I think every mayor has marched in this parade," said Ulrich.
Not quite. Some years, politicians are as rare as a four-leaf clover. That's because many protest the parade's longstanding ban on an Irish gay and lesbian group joining.
Mayor David Dinkins didn't march in his final two years as mayor.
"I will not be able to lead the long green line up Fifth Avenue," Dinkins said then.
Next month, you can still expect lines of city workers. Some say until the gay groups are permitted, they shouldn't be allowed to wear their uniforms.
"I think it should be revisited. I do think that a parade that discriminates against LBGT people, that that should be looked at again," said Councilman Corey Johnson of Manhattan.
De Blasio had a different take.
"I respect the right of our city workers to march in uniform, period," said de Blasio.
Opponents of the march point out that in some places at least, gay rights seems to be increasing, with greater legalization of same sex marriage and even the pope saying of gay people, who am I to judge?
"Times have changed, but the Hibernian Order is still living in the past, and my hope is that they'll on their own decide that this is not the way to treat New Yorkers," said Johnson.

China's trade declined abruptly in June, an apparent sign that growth in the world's second largest economy might be cooling even more sharply than expected.
Exports fell by 3.1 percent compared with a year earlier, and imports contracted by 0.7 percent, customs data showed on Wednesday.
Both were below forecasts of growth in the low single digits.
China's economic growth has slowed this year and is expected to fall further due to weak global demand and an effort by the Chinese central bank to cool a credit boom.
The country's leaders claim that they want to pursue slower, more self-sustaining growth based on domestic consumption, reducing reliance on trade and investment.
According to Zheng Yuesheng, spokesman for China's General Administration of Customs, what is affecting growth in exports is the decrease in demand from external markets.
"Export growth is at a low point. Among the nearly two thousand exporting companies that we surveyed this year, more than 40 percent of the companies reported that the number of new orders has been decreasing compared to the same period last year. According to the survey conducted at the end of June, 69.2 percent of companies have reported that the number of new orders has decreased compared to the same period last year."
A decline in Chinese economic activity could have global repercussions, denting revenues for suppliers of commodities and industrial components such as Australia, Brazil and Southeast Asia. Lower Chinese demand already has depressed global prices for iron ore, copper and other raw materials, cooling an economic boom for exporters.
Some private sector forecasters cut their growth outlook for the year, though to still robust levels above 7 percent, after a credit crunch hit China's financial markets last month. That came as the central bank tried to rein in a lending boom regulators worry could spiral out of control.
Analysts expected China to report slower growth in trade due to a crackdown on misreporting of data by exporters as a way to evade currency controls and bring extra money into the country. But even with that taken into account, Wednesday's figures were below forecasts for exports to rise by up to 3.5 percent and imports to grow by up to 1.5 percent.
June's export growth was down from May's year-on-year gain of 13.5 percent and import growth was down from 8.2 percent.
China's politically sensitive global trade surplus contracted by 12.4 percent compared with a year earlier to 27.1 billion US Dollars. Exports were 174.3 billion US Dollars while imports were 147.2 billion US Dollars.
Growth in exports to the United States, China's biggest foreign market, fell to 1.8 percent from May's 3.5 percent. Exports to the 27-nation European Union contracted 3.9 percent.
The trade surplus with the U.S. contracted by 15.5 percent from a year earlier to 17.5 billion US Dollars, but still one of this year's highest levels. The surplus with Europe shrank 20.3 percent to 10.2 billion US Dollars.

From the Archives: St. Cajetan's Church barely escaped demolition
Auraria has been around for a long time -- longer than Colorado has been an actual state -- but it's changed quite a bit since 1858. It started out as Auraria Township, a pioneer settlement that served as a popular destination during the gold rush; the root of the name comes from the Latin word for gold. The settlement eventually merged with the City of Denver, and the Auraria neighborhood became home to a large Hispanic population. It wasn't until the 1960s that the site became the home of the Auraria Higher Education Center, the campus that would serve three institutions of higher learning -- and also displace the longtime residents. These photographs, taken in 1977 by Jonathan Pite and housed in the Auraria Library Special Collections Department, give a sense of what the area looked like at that time. Pite was a graduate of the University of Colorado Boulder, where he earned a master of fine arts in photography.

Below is a look at the Tivoli in the late '70s. It's now known as the Tivoli Student Union, and has been used for that purpose since 1994; it was originally known as the Colorado Brewery. In 1901, a brewer named John Good bought the brewery and renamed it Tivoli, after the Tivoli Gardens in Denmark. At the time of this photo, the brewing company had shut down and plans were already being made to redevelop the building; it has been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1973.
This is a similar view of the Tivoli from 2008:

Simone Wilson on Trading LA Weekly Beat for the Holy Land
When FishbowlLA tweeted out an LA Weekly-themed #FF group last Friday, one friend-follower handle was conspicuously absent (@simone_electra). That's because Simone Wilson, for several years a tireless shotgun partner on the LA news beat with Dennis Romero, is now living and working in Israel.
"I actually quit my job at LA Weekly at the beginning of October, but because I still had a couple print stories in the tubes, it took readers a while to notice I was gone," Wilson tells FishbowlLA via email. "It was 100% my decision to leave. Management at the paper made it clear that they would have loved to have me stay."
"But for health reasons (I have cystic fibrosis, and the 24/7 news grind was rough on me) and wanting-to-see-the-world reasons, it just felt like the right time to move on," she adds. Another reason Wilson chose Tel Aviv is that her boyfriend's family owns an apartment building there, making it very cost-efficient for them to relocate.
Last week, Wilson had a solid piece in the Jewish Journal about Israeli Army conscientious objector Natan Blanc. She plans to do more freelancing for the SoCal paper and has other outlets in her sights as well.
"I actually just spent about a month writing a story involving the recent Israel-Gaza conflict for a major U.S. magazine, but I'd rather not say who until it runs," Wilson teases. "I'll also be pitching stories to alternative magazines and other U.S./international outlets."

In COROP (Columbia Outdoor River Orientation Program) you will be canoeing thirty-five miles down the Delaware River on the New York/ Pennsylvania/ New Jersey border for four days, alongside 6-8 other freshmen and two leaders. You'll also be accompanied for most of the journey with a similarly sized cross-group. As a ROPer, you will camp on islands, sandbars, and other primitive riverbank campsites, as well as encountering all the splendid sights and sounds the river has to offer. Each day involves paddling or floating roughly 9-14 miles followed by a meal and a fire at night. All of the food and gear you need will be carried in your canoe. The only requirement is an ability to swim (doggy paddle suffices!), as no camping or canoeing experience is necessary. For more information about the river you can visit the Delaware Water Gap website.
Check out our ROP Leader page to see the current fall trip leaders!
If you're planning on coming on the trip, make sure to take a look at our ROP packing list for a detailed account of what you'll need.

Bay Ridge

Time Out says
Posted: Wed Feb 24 2010
Hinsch's is an almost perfectly preserved piece of old Brooklyn, right down to the candy-filled windows shaded by a retractable green-canvas awning. This soda fountain–luncheonette still makes its own ice cream and chocolates. In addition to old-time fountain favorites, there's some serious griddle action: Denver omelettes, burgers and carved-to-order sandwiches. Although the pancakes stop flapping at 11am, the waffle iron never grows cold. And the shelves are well stocked with freshly made, giant chocolate Santas and Easter bunnies.

Boston Adventure(1944)
A novel by Jean Stafford
This book is a brilliant portrait of the snobbery of the old Bostonians, threatened by the radical politics and the Jazz Age energy of the 1930s. But its heart is the story of one woman's quest for love and for a meaning in life, a compelling pilgrimage which takes her to the brink of madness. In describing Sonie's experience the author hauntingly evokes the dilemma of every immigrant who has to choose a history, a culture and a future with which to identify in a new world.

Furniture Care Instructions
- Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
- Do not leave plastic or rubber materials on wood surfaces.
- Wipe up spills immediately.
- Clean with a reliable non-silicone furniture polish
- Avoid common hazards such as hot dishes (use a protective pad), harsh solvents (nail polish remover, alcohol), and abrasives.
BRASS and METAL
- Maintain with regular dusting.
- Wipe spills immediately.
- Clean with mild soap and water, dry thoroughly and do not use a brass cleaner (it will damage the lacquer)
Luxury, durability and comfort are inherent qualities of fine leather furniture. Differences in types of hides, tanning methods and finishes result in wide variations in characteristics. Unique to genuine leather are natural features like neck wrinkles, scars, scratches, insect bites, stretch marks, grain, backbone markings and color nuances. These variations are not flaws, but features which enhance the natural beauty and character of leather, and will not affect its durability or strength. No two hides are alike, therefore color and texture will vary, and exact matches are not always possible. While leather is the most durable of furniture covers, it still requires routine maintenance and cleaning. To prevent drying and fading, keep leather furniture away from direct sunlight and avoid close proximity to heating sources. Regular dusting with a clean white cloth is recommended. Leather can be scratched, cut and marked with sharp objects just as fabric.
Never remove cushion covers for separate dry-cleaning or washing. Do not use bleach or any tumble method of cleaning as this may destroy the fabric backing, shrink or otherwise damage the upholstery fabric. See the Lexington Upholstery Catalog for more information on cleaning and product care. For current fabric information, see your Lexington Upholstery dealer.
LEXINGTON UPHOLSTERY fabrics are classified into one of four categories, noted on our fabric samples, for the purpose of proper care. Cleaning methods are suggested by the fabric manufacturer. Lexington Home Brands does not accept any responsibility in the event of failure of any of these methods.
W - Clean only with water based shampoo or foam upholstery cleaner. Do not over-wet. Do not use solvents to spot clean. Pile fabrics any require brushing to restore appearance. Cushions covers should not be removed and laundered.
S - Clean only with dry-cleaning solvent. Do not saturate. Do not use water. Pile fabric may require brushing to restore appearance. Cushion covers should not be removed and dry-cleaned.
SW - Clean with shampoo or dry-cleaning solvents as desired. Do no saturate with liquid. Pile fabrics may require brushing to restore appearance. Cushion covers should not be removed and dry-cleaned.
X - Do not clean with either water or solvent base cleaner, use vacuuming or light brushing only.

The Zeros
(A Che Underground exclusive: Tell-Tale Heart/Town Crier Ray Brandes traces the trajectory of San Diego's first punk band.)
Javier Escovedo: vocals, guitar
Hector Penalosa: bass, vocals
Robert Lopez: guitar, vocals
Baba Chenelle: drums
The Zeros, often referred to affectionately as the "Mexican Ramones," cannot only justifiably lay claim to being San Diego's first "punk" rock group but also can brag about being one of the first punk groups in the United States.
In a brief but brilliant career highlighted by some classic recordings as well as shows with the Clash and Devo, the Zeros played the first big punk shows in both Los Angeles and in San Diego as early as 1977, when they were still high-school students. It is a testament to the drive and spirit of these pointy-toed revolutionaries that such a group was able to spring from the sleepy suburbs of National City and Chula Vista at a time when greater San Diego was both indifferent to and unimpressed by counterculture movements of any kind.
To say that Zeros guitarist and lead vocalist Javier Escovedo hails from a musical family would be to make a grand understatement. His parents immigrated to Texas from Mexico in the 1930s. His father, who played in mariachi bands, passed his passion for music on to every one of his 13 children. Javier's older brothers, Pete and Thomas "Coke" Escovedo, played with both Santana and Malo (who had the hit "Suavecito," sometimes called "The Chicano National Anthem"), and niece Sheila E. played with Prince and had hits with "The Glamorous Life" and "A Love Bizarre" in the 1980s. His brother Alejandro founded San Francisco punk band the Nuns, whose pinnacle was opening for the Sex Pistols in their legendary final concert in 1978 at the Winterland, and had further success in Rank and File, the True Believers and as a solo artist. Alejandro, closest in age to Javier, was the family member with the most influence upon his musical tastes.
Zeros guitarist Robert Lopez and his cousin, Zeros drummer Baba Chenelle (Robert's dad is the brother of Baba's mom) grew up together listening to music and learning to play the guitar and drums, respectively. Robert's two older sisters, Rhoda and Shane, kept him up to date with the latest music, and Robert shared their tastes with Baba.
Hector's musical journey also began an early age. "When I was five and living in San Pedro, I used to watch Beatles cartoons. I kind of forgot about them, but they were in my subconscious. Years later, when I was 13 and living in Tijuana, I used to ride the bus home from school and listen to a program on the radio that played an hour of Beatles music each day. I started playing guitar after that." Hector, who is left-handed, picked up a right-handed guitar and taught himself to play it upside-down, without reversing the strings.
Baba and Hector met in PE class at Chula Vista Junior High School on April 4, 1975, the Monday after KISS made its first appearance on Burt Sugarman's "Midnight Special."
"I told this kid I had seen this band on TV with a bunch of makeup and platforms," Hector remembers. "Baba said, 'Yeah, man, they're cool. I have three of their records, so I'll bring 'em tomorrow, and you can check 'em out.' Baba turned me on to a lot of cool music like Aerosmith, the Modern Lovers and the Velvets, and we became friends," says Hector.
Locked in the garage at Baba's parents' house in National City every weekend, the two new friends played guitar and drums for hours at a time throughout the entire summer before they entered Sweetwater High School. Towards the end of that summer, Baba and Hector cooked up a plan to show up at a Chula Vista park, set up amplifiers and drums, and start playing. "We grabbed a shopping cart from a store down the street; loaded it up with drums, guitars and amplifiers; and wheeled it six blocks to the park," remembers Hector. "When we got there, a few other friends showed up, so we had three wannabe Jimmy Pages and a drummer." It was at this point Hector decided to switch to bass so that he could eliminate his competition. He began teaching himself to play bass using three albums as guides: "The New York Dolls"; the Dolls' "Too Much, Too Soon"; and John Lennon's "Rock and Roll."
During this time, Javier and Robert, who were students at Chula Vista High School, were playing in a band called the Main Street Brats, covering Standells, Seeds, and Velvet Underground songs, alongside Javier's originals like "Main Street Brat," "Siamese Tease," "Wimp" and "Don't Push Me Around." They recruited Baba to be the group's drummer, and later that year, when they needed a bass player, Hector was invited to audition at Javier's house in Chula Vista.
"I didn't hear from them for a long time afterwards," Hector remembers. "I finally asked Baba about it, and he told me that they weren't sure because they thought if I joined there would be too many Mexicans in the band! They were looking for a blonde guy." After a string of disastrous auditions, Baba was finally able to talk the rest of the band into hiring Hector. "Out of the blue, Baba suddenly called me and said they had a gig and that they wanted me to play," says Hector.

The band had now become the Zeros, a nod to a line by Lester Bangs Javier had read in Creem magazine: "I don't wanna be a hero, I just wanna be a zero." The newly named Zeros' first gig made for a very unimpressive debut: a quinceañera in Rosarito, Mexico, for someone in Javier's family. The band drove to Rosarito to find that the family had already hired a Tijuana cover band, which was in the process of setting up giant, door-sized Peavey amplifiers and a drum kit with about 10 mounted tom-toms. They were told they could play a few songs on the group's equipment, but Hector remembers that "you could feel the tension in the air. We got there and people thought we were from outer space because we were wearing tight pants, pointy shoes, '60s coats and skinny ties." The band played only five songs: a couple of Javier's originals, the Velvet Underground's "Waiting for the Man," and hyper-fast versions of the Chantays' Pipeline and the Shirelles' "Boys." The audience response was enough to encourage the band to continue.
While the band's early repertoire reflected their love of '60s groups like the Beatles, the Animals, the Standells and the Seeds, as well as '70s groups like KISS and the New York Dolls, it is important to note that they were both fans of and contemporaries of many bands who have been credited with the invention of punk rock in the mid-'70s. According to Hector, "The New York scene was the big gauge to compare ourselves with. We were always waiting for the magazine 'Rock Scene' to come out at the newsstand on Third Avenue in Chula Vista because that was our Bible." Up-and-coming new bands who would appear in the magazine before they became famous were featured next to photographs of Lou Reed, Iggy Pop and David Bowie on stage, back stage and at after-parties. "We listened to and were influenced by a lot of those bands," says Hector.
When word failed to spread after the Rosarito quinceanera gig, the band holed itself up in a practice studio on E Street in Chula Vista. For nearly a year, the band did not play at all in San Diego. According to Javier, "We all agreed to devote more time and energy to the music. At that time, our kind of music was just not heard or played in San Diego, so we set our sights on Los Angeles."
Watch the Zeros perform "Don't Push Me Around" and "Wimp" on "Sun Up San Diego" with host Clark Anthony in 1977:
Their first big show, earned through persistence and a tape that finally made its way to the Nerves, took place in early 1977 at Hollywood's Orpheum Theater (known as the Punk Palace) on the Sunset Strip across from Tower Records. The Zeros opened the show for the Germs and the Weirdos. Also attending the show were the Damned, the first British punk band to tour the United States. The Weirdos played last, got an encore and called the Damned up to the stage to play. Captain Sensible proceeded to urinate all over the first row and the show abruptly ended! For self-proclaimed "country bumpkin from Chula Vista" Hector, the show was unlike anything he had ever seen in his life. "At rehearsals I'd heard Robert talking about the Sex Pistols and safety pins," he remembers, "but I couldn't even imagine what he was talking about. I thought he was talking about people in diapers!"
Also in attendance at that first show was Bomp Magazine's Greg Shaw, who invited them to join the Nerves and Weirdos, Germs and Devo in recording for his new Bomp! label. The result was the band's classic singles "Wimp"/"Don't Push Me Around" and "Beat Your Heart Out"/"Wild Weekend."

The Zeros became the darlings of the LA punk scene, playing shows at the Whisky, the Masque and the Starwood, driven back to San Diego late at night so that they could attend school the next day by Javier, the only group member old enough to have a driver's license. At venues like the Larchmont Hall, the owners had a difficult time understanding the interaction between bands and audiences. According to Javier, "When we went on, the crowd started to pogo dance. The older people running the lights told us to stop playing. Of course we wouldn't, and the crowd went wild. Our friend Jett Compton kicked in the door to the office and made them turn the lights back on. As we packed up after the show, the old farts were still yelling at us. We thought it was pretty funny."
They opened for Devo on four straight sellout nights at the Starwood on Santa Monica, met the Ramones, and attended parties at Tom Waits' rented bungalow at the Tropicana Motor Inn. Waits used to refer to them as "those Mexican kids with pointy shoes." Javier's Ford Maverick made trips to Los Angeles and San Francisco dozens of times, pulling a U-Haul laden with the group's gear.
The allure of the Los Angeles scene proved too much for young Hector, who dropped out of Sweetwater High School and took the GED exam. "I was having a lot of fun in LA, San Diego was dead, and I guess I just wanted to be in LA more than I wanted to be in the band," he says. Hector left the Zeros and temporarily joined the F-Word so that they would move him to Los Angeles. After a few shows with the F-Word, he played several gigs with Black Randy and the Metrosquad and turned down an offer to join the Plugz. After several months, however, he found himself living with his father in Long Beach, unhappy and longing to play again.
In the meantime, the Zeros had recruited Robert's brother Guy Lopez to play bass for a few months. The highlight of the Guy Lopez period was when Patti Smith joined them onstage at the Mabuhay Gardens to sing the Velvet Underground's "Waiting for the Man." Guy himself then quit the band to move to Los Angeles. Robert had been having some difficulty getting along with Javier, and the band broke up.
In 1978 an offer for a West Coast tour surfaced, and Baba called Hector to extend an invitation to rejoin the Zeros. Hector agreed, but without Robert in the band, the Zeros had to soldier on as a trio. Their West Coast tour, which took them from San Diego, Los Angeles and San Francisco to Portland and Seattle, ended in September of 1978 with a sold-out show with the Avengers and the Dils. In part because the city was now home to a number of expatriate San Diegans like the Dils and the Hitmakers, the band decided it would stay in San Francisco.
In February 1979, the band was being managed by Dils manager Peter Urban and was part of a growing scene at the Temple Beautiful, a former synagogue wedged between the Fillmore and the Jim Jones Temple. At the time, Urban was trying to set up an all-ages club through an organization known as the New Youth Movement. Someone in the organization knew one of the members of the Clash, but the thought of getting the Clash to assist with a benefit was the furthest thing from anyone's mind. Hector recalls: "We thought these guys wouldn't be available to play this gig in a million years, but (Joe) Strummer and (Mick) Jones showed up at the meeting to plan the gig! Basically, they said, 'We want to play the show, but we can't use the name because we're under contract with Bill Graham.' " The problem was solved by billing the band as "The Best Band Ever — Direct from England," and the day after the Clash played with Bo Diddley at the Berkeley Community Theater, the Clash played the New Youth Movement Benefit, supported by the Zeros and Negative Trend.
Shows with John Cale and tours of Texas and New York followed, but by 1980 the band was finished. Hector and Baba stayed in San Francisco, where Hector played in the Wolverines, Flying Color, and MCM and the Monster, and Baba played with Ministry of Truth and MCM and the Monster. Hector currently leads Squiddo and plays in the Baja Bugs, a Beatles tribute band that was just nominated for a San Diego Music Award. Robert remained in Los Angeles, where he played in the Johnnys and became better known as "El Vez." Javier played in the True Believers and Rank and File with his brother Alejandro; toured with Will (Sexton) and the Kill as well as the Lost; and has just released his second album, "City Lights." Guy Lopez passed away in October 2007.
