Spritz, a new speed-reading app company, suggests its technology will allow you to power through Atlas Shrugged in a day. The simple interface flashes one word of content at a time, at a rate you can pre-select. The Boston-based start-up has been operating in so-called "Stealth Mode" for almost three years, perfecting the system. The tool borrows from an older technology called Rapid Serial Visual Presentation, but has been enhanced by rejiggering the alignment of the words to the "Optimal Recognition Point," the target region of a word which allows your brain to process it. The new wrinkle, the company claims, eliminates the time your eyes squander locating the next OPR.
The app is available on the newest Samsung phones; websites, e-readers, and other systems may soon jump on the bandwagon, too.
This is what the future looks like at 250 words per minute (wpm), roughly the average reading speed:
Here's 350 wpm:
And 500 wpm (semi-warp speed):
While it's irresistibly alluring to feel as though you've suddenly stumbled on an ultimate life hack that enables you to consume knowledge at the pace of a legendary savant, it also makes you feel a bit like an epileptic robot.
As reporting by my incisive former colleague Olga Khazan at The Atlantic's health channel revealed last month, the whole speed reading fad has always been kind of shaky when it comes to the science.
Now, a new study, published last week in Psychological Science by University of California-San Diego post-doctoral psychology researcher Elizabeth Schotter and her colleagues (including Keith Rayner, one of the experts Khazan interviewed), provides even more evidence that the hype surrounding these kind of apps is mostly that. We're probably not on the verge of a revolutionary epistemological breakthrough because cognitive comprehension is actually quite dependent on the eye movements that Spritz aims to nix. The authors write:
[R]emoving eye movements from the reading process is precisely the fatal flaw in such speed-reading apps and the reason why they will not be useful for reading any text that is not extremely easy or short; control over the sequence and duration of word processing is the most important variable that supports reading, and control of the oculomotor system is crucial to accurate comprehension of text.
In an experiment, the researchers had 40 undergraduate subjects "read sentences both normally and in a condition in which words became masked after they moved their eyes away," meant to mimic the speed reading app experience of not being able to easily glance back. According to previous research, these movements are called "regressions," and readers do them "about 10% to 15% of the time…."
Comprehension of sentences decreased significantly in the condition where there was no opportunity to reprocess information, no matter the ambiguity of the constructions. Eye movements were not a burden; they were a key to knowledge.
"[O]ur data suggest that, although regressions … add a small amount of time to the reading process," the researchers conclude, "the benefits they provide for understanding far outweigh the costs."

Please Help Me
- 0Mar 12, '02 by Q.Hi. Some of you may have read in some of my other posts about my father. My father is 60 years old and and end-stage alcoholic. We have had him in 30 day programs and de-tox for 5 days, at least 2-3 times. He will improve and then slowly slip back into it. Now it seems he's addicted to ativan instead of the ETOH - same thing, same result.
What's bothering me and having me near tears is that my sister called me just a few minutes ago - and she told me that she went to a psychic who told her that our dad will die in a car accident r/t to his ETOH abuse before Christmas 2002. I tried to pass her off but as I'm sitting here trying to finish my paper that is due on Thursday, my mind keeps wandering back to this and I can't help but feel panicky inside. I don't want him to die, and naturally not from a car accident!! I love him soooo much I just wish he would get well - but it's beyond my control. I've done all I can for him - the rest is up to him.
The thing is, I can't concentrate on my schoolwork. I mean, should I listen to this psychic or not? I'm a wreck..please...what are your thoughts????
- 0Mar 12, '02 by grouchyPerhaps this psychic has just given expression to the unconcious/semiconcious fears you would understandably have about your father in this situation. Maybe you need to grieve the losses your family has already experienced due to your father's addiction. Can you see a college counselor, attend an Al-anon meeting in person or online, or is your Dad still loosely connected to any kind of outpatient treatment that might offer family counseling? Maybe, just to keep functioning until you get this paper in, you can write down your thoughts, put the paper in a "worry jar", and bargain with yourself. You could allow yourself a half an hour every day to think about this, and tell yourself when you worry at other times, that you'll allow yourself to worry later during your worry time.
My understanding is that there are no scientific studies proving psychic ability. However, sadly, alcoholism could shorten your Dad's life, which is why this seems so believable. Maybe, you need to mourn (although it's tricky right now). I know, I realized after my Mom died of breast cancer that I had spent alot of time while she was still alive mourning her potential death long before it was imminent. I think I spent as much time mourning before she died as after. So I think it's understandable to have these feelings, and I wish you luck with your paper, and with the rest of this semester. Keep us posted.
- 0Mar 12, '02 by Tim-GNPI once went to a psychic in New York [my friend Christine dragged me, kicking and screaming all the way], she told me that I would be married, divorced, have 3 children, and be married again before my 30th birthday--------- I asked for my money back!
I would not put too much stock in psychics.
But right now, be comforted, you are the one you need to be concerned about. The future will happen all by itself, we don't need to worry about it. God knows exactly where your father is at all times, and when he is ready for him, he'll find him, and no one can tell when--- not even Miss Cleo.
- 0Mar 12, '02 by nightingaleHugs to you Suzy....
There is so much guilt associated with family illnesses... it is easy to say on this end... but.. it is NOT YOUR FAULT... you have done all that you can do...
Pray... The one prayer I go to time and again.. when I start to ruminate (did I spell that right?) about this and that is the good ol' Catholic prayer of forgiveness.. if I can be forgiven... (lol) anyone can....
Pray.. get your school work done and take time to smell the roses...
- 0Mar 12, '02 by Jenny PSusy, the psychic is a quack. She probably fished around to find out some of the stuff that your sister was thinking/worrying about and then told her something that is a distinct possibility with anyone who is chemically dependant.
I don't believe that people who TRUELY can pick up these things makes a living as a psychic. They would be too exhausted trying to deal with all of that negative psychic stimulous floating around.
Get back to the books. And take care of yourself, okay? Prayer does help, but there are some things that you can't do for him (like MAKE him sober).
Have you attended AlAnon meetings ever? They helped me when we were going through stuff with my son.
- 0Mar 12, '02 by Q.Grouchy and Tim-
Thanks for your words. I am a big skeptic myself, yet, oddly enough, when it's about something as real and sensitive as my dad, all common sense blows out the window. Then part of me gets angry. I mean, I wasn't there at this psychic reading, so I have no idea what my sister said or did not say, but where do these people get off on saying such horrible things? Geez, it just about ruined my night. My mind still trails off about it now and then, but I try to bury into studies which is what I've always done (my sister too). We both put ourselves through undergrad and now we are both going to grad school too. It's a nice distraction I must say. Gives us something else to focus on.
Tim - your post made me smile - about Miss Cleo. Thanks a million.
And grouchy, the comment about the studies about the accuracy of psychics was very comforting indeed. I enjoy factual information like that to bring me back to reality. Thanks again.
Back to that damn paper on Educational Psych.......
Jenny and Nightengale - had to say thanks as well. We've talked about Al-Anon before but you know how that goes - you never really go because you get tied up with this or that. But it's something I think that we should put at the forefront.Last edit by Susy K on Mar 12, '02
- 0Mar 13, '02 by semstrhey Susy,
a real good psychic would never ever tell such nonsense!
(as far as they really exist, I am very skeptic about these things too!)
What I do know and experienced myself, that you can feel that something is wrong with a person you love or like very much.
In your case being a co-alcoholic (like I am, as we both know) don't feel guilty! You've done enough for your dad, you can't protect him against unknown accidents or coincedences.
You take care of yourself and write your paper, please let us know how it came out!!
Take care, Renee
- 0Mar 13, '02 by stevie bSusy K.
My heart is with you. I also had alcoholic parents,and even though I know I was not responsible for their behavior, I have had to deal with a certain amount of guilt and shame that eventually turned to resentment. Those feelings did not change the fact that I loved both of my parents.
About the psychic. A few weeks ago I saw on TV that Sister Cleo had been charged with fraud because one of her "certified psychics" was actually a housewife who worked from her phone in the kitchen, reading off a script. I don't know if there is such a thing as a true psychic, but I do know that there are plenty of people out there who like to prey on people who are in weakened circumstances. I'm not cracking on your sister for going to see the psychic, because I don't know your sister and maybe at that point in time the visit to the psychic served some kind of need. Just try to relax and focus on what you need to do for yourself at this particular place and time.Good luck, and I will keep you and yor father in my positive thoughts.Bonnie
- 0Mar 13, '02 by StargazerSusy,
Not too much to add to what's already been said except that I agree that trying Al-Anon sounds like a good idea.
As far as the psychic goes--in my opinion, since it's virtually impossible to separate a "reputable" psychic from a scam artist (like Miss Cleo), their readings should be for entertainment purposes only and taken with several big grains of salt. And I'm with the other posters who don't believe that any reputable businessperson calling themselves psychic would, or should, predict a horrible or fatal future event which the listener is powerless to prevent. What possible good would that do anyone?
I'm guessing she doesn't get a lot of repeat business.
I know you're busy and stressed these days, with school and work. Take care of yourself. Hugs...
{{{Susy K}}}
- 0Mar 13, '02 by live4todaySuzy K, my heart goes out to you, and you will remain in my daily prayers as you go through this difficult time in your life with your dad's illness. Tim's advice is right on! Death is a "definite" event that will one day claim us all, so to focus on when that day will be for your dad is no one's knowledge but God's. Just love him, and spend as much quality time as you can with him, so when that day does come, you will know that you loved him as best you could, and remember the happy times shared between you. Wasting your energy on worrying over something that no human being has control over is only robbing you of energy you could spend loving your dad. So, study and make DAD proud!

So the first year of the Vox has come and gone. It's time for year two. After going through nearly 200 applications, we've expanded the staff to around 90 kids, all extraordinarily talented. Since this is the first post in the Vox Box, I should state what exactly the Vox is… it is the next generation of newspaper, made by the teens, for the teens. Published by the Spokesman-Review, our paper is sent to high schools (among other places) all around Spokane County and Northern Idaho. We're definitely NOT your parents' newspaper.
Well, with that out of the way… I need to state that this newspaper is FOR the readers. So give us some feedback! The three bloggers, Leslie, Kyle, and myself will be checking in often, and with every issue will post some hot topic discussions for you guys to take part in. We may sometimes reflect or imitate some of the articles appearing in the publication.
Let us know what you think!
Aside from this fan-tiddly-tastic blog, we've also got a Myspace! If you've got a Myspace, and want to stay connected to everything important, or you just need to build up your friends list, go ahead and add us! Click here!
Before I make my closing statement, I should note that the first issue hits schools, businesses and the Spokesman-Review lobby on September 5th!

"The most valuable lesson I ever learned is having compassion. I learned this lesson in Excelsius Academy. My teacher told me that if you have compassion, you share with others, you are loving and thoughtful. That teacher said that if you are compassionate, you are caring to each other. If you don't have compassion you are mean to others.
When everyone has compassion, there is peace on our planet. People will have lots of friends and families. Everyone won't be boasting so much and make people feel bad. Everyone will help each other out even if it is a difficult problem. So whenever you are loving, sharing or helping each other out, you know that you are compassionate to them."
"I woke up in the morning stretching. I said 'What a wonderful day." All of a sudden in my mind, I was thinking why was my voice so low. It was 6 a.m. so I had time before school to wonder why my voice was so low. Then it came to my mind, 'No wonder' I said. 'My body has been switched with my Dad! I could do anything I wanted to do.
I wanted to go to the movies, but the movies were so far away. So I thought and thought. Then I ran inside the house and got the car keys. I said 'How hard could it be to drive a car?' I underestimated how hard it was to drive a car. ZOOM! I drove so fast that there were at least five cops after me."
"There are many ways to become rich in 2028 and it is happiness. Since 2024, happiness has become the national currency of the United States. The American dollar, euro, British pound and other countries currency have been replaced by happiness. Banks have changed from money to happy bills. To have money you need to be happy. Money from the past are now antiques.
With happiness, that means that ruthless leaders have turned into loving and caring leaders. Happiness has changed the lives of money people and one of them was me."
Friday morning at Excelsius Academy was all about out-of-body experiences and critical thinking during the school's first writing competition. Students stepped into the minds of their parents, examining their version of a "perfect" day and even imagining a first-person perspective of the last tree in a once-vibrant grove.
Principal Gina Nga Le said the school, which opened in 2005, also holds math and debate competitions during the school's summer schedule and that the writing competition was created to bolster creative thinking.
More than 250 students participated from first through 10th grades, according to Nga Le, with each grade level being assigned a writing prompt that ranged from writing a narrative about changing the world, describing what makes a hero and persuading someone to vote in a democratic election.
The students were given an hour and a half to write their essays. The essays were read by teachers, and 10 students were awarded for their work based on depth of writing, spelling and grammar.
Jessica Garcia, sixth-grade teacher, said the competitions that Excelsius Academy runs throughout the year are meant to help both in and out of the classroom – by not only improving English writing skills, but also improving social skills.
"I think that creativity helps in many areas in a child's life," Garcia said. "Being creative will help them to become better problem solvers and solve conflicts with their peers, and it develops a more well rounded individual."
Garcia said by having the students make an effort to write and use their imagination, they build their personalities.
Second-grade teacher Mai Khoung said she hoped the competition would help some of the students dealing with introversion and shyness to find their voice while writing.
"I think with our younger kids, they're more sheltered culturally," Khoung said. "Sometimes they're not that creative because their parents help them too much with assignments."
Program Manager Yvonne Nguyen laughed at one student's creative tale about his disastrous attempt to master driving a car after switching bodies with his father, and smiled at another student's reasoning behind preaching compassion to others.
Nguyen said the writing competition was not only a great way for students to show off their creative skills, but to also reaffirm the administration's goal of creating a solid education for all of its students.
"There's a lot of unrecognized talent that we have, especially in the elementary students," Nguyen said. "The innocence of a child and their writing is really what makes the staff appreciate our lives. It gives us strength as educators to continue to do what we do."

Stairville LED PAR 56 10mm Alu RGB Silver - short PAR 56 can with 151x 10mm high-power LEDs, DMX 512 controllable, (rear-mounted dip-switches), RGB colour mixing via DMX or standalone mode, 3-pin DMX I/O, sound-to-light programs, max. power consumption: 15W, includes bracket. Dimensions: 21 x 21 x 30 cm
We have these for our hire stock for most basic jobs and have to say they've lasted a surprising amount of time out on the road. We've had pints of beer left on them and once a flooded marquee meant these got a good soaking. From memory we have 32 and only one has died.The body does get bent fairly easily so if you're keep on appearance then you may wish to house this within something to protect it from the various kicks.We would only replace these when they start breaking down and a fairly cheap RGBA comes onto the market. There is no reason why we wouldn't buy more though :)
Do you believe this rating to be inaccurate or unacceptable for some reason?
By far some of the best LED pars we own. The Stairville LED PAR 56 10mm Alu RGB can be used on discos, bars, installs, live events including bands, and most of all perfect as an LED uplighter.Sound to light and DMX, They are very very easy to use by means of simple dip switches.They come fitted with an EU plug so we changed ours to IEC making them perfect for uplighting and also for use on truss. The colours are strong and bright and after owning 48 of these units we have found them to be trouble free in 3 years.

A report from FOSDEM 2008
FOSDEM, Next Generation
Now into its eighth year, the FOSDEM developer conference in Brussels, Belgium, demonstrates that it is very much alive and kicking, and even celebrating records.
When Philip Paeps and Pascal Bleser from the FOSDEM team officially opened the 2008 conference [1], they happily announced that records had been broken: 228 talks by 268 speakers were scheduled for the February event. Approximately 4,500 visitors packed the corridors and lecture theaters at the Free University of Brussels.
To get things moving, the conference's founder, Raphael Bauduin, and the new team led the traditional FOSDEM dance and thus handed over the event to the next generation.
Linux in Hollywood
The first talk focused on Linux in Hollywood, and it started with an animated sequence from the movie Bee Movie, which was produced on Linux.
Robin Rowe, who gave the talk with his colleague Gabrielle Pantera, explained that the bees were so small that rounding errors occurred in the software. He went on to disclose how Linux had established itself in Hollywood studios, from the first animations in Titanic, through Shrek, Finding Nemo, and The Matrix.
Scripting Languages
Scripting languages were another major focus. Computer science lecturer Patrick Michaud, the chief developer for the Perl 6 compiler in Parrot, gave the audience a preview of the new features in the next version of Perl. Perl 6 will break with downward compatibility and cleaning up the syntax.
The PHP 6 web scripting language really shines when it comes to Unicode, as Andrei Zmievski from the PHP core team demonstrated.
Charles O. Nutter talked about JRuby, which he has been working on for Sun over the past year. JRuby is a Java implementation of the object-oriented Ruby scripting language. For Nutter, the project offers an open source success story. Most of the code was contributed by volunteer members of the project, and many Java-based editors and developer environments, such as JEdit, Netbeans, and Eclipse, use JRuby as their choice of Ruby implementation.
Free Software Projects
On the fringe of the talks in the lecture theaters, members of free software projects gathered in developer rooms to discuss their development targets. Enrico Zini presented the Apt-Xapian [2] extension for the Debian Linux distribution's package management system.
A number of European Fedora developers founded Fedora EMEA, with its headquarters in Germany, to help Fedora become slightly more independent of Red Hat, the project's main sponsor. The openSUSE project intends to improve package management and the installer for Version 11 of its Linux distribution.

Watertown standoff ends after 4 hours with injured man arrested
WATERTOWN — A despondent 47-year-old man barricaded himself inside a house at 96 Oak Drive and kept police at bay for about four hours Saturday night.
Christopher Demirs, who lives at the house, was arrested shortly before midnight after police noticed he had what appeared to be self-inflicted cuts to his hands, face and an arm, police said. He was holding a box-cutter and threatening to harm himself further, according to police.

Inquiries - Requests for your Credit History
Numerous inquires on your credit file for new credit may cause you to appear risky to lenders, so it is usually better to only seek new credit when you need it. Typically, lenders distinguish between inquiries for a single loan and many new loans in part by the length of time over which the inquiries occur. So, when rate shopping for a loan it's a good idea to do it within a focused period of time.

CGA Carolinas Junior Girls' Championship
58th Carolinas Junior Girls' Championship
Hope Valley CC Durham, N.C.
Round 2 Results
DURHAM, NC July 30, 2014 – Round one co-leader Jessica Spicer of Bahama, NC shot a round four under par 68 to separate herself from the pack heading into the final round of the 58th Carolinas Junior Girls' Championship. Spicer, a rising high school junior, has a seven shot lead after her two day total of one under par 143 on the Donald Ross designed course at Hope Valley CC in Durham, NC. Spicer got off to a steady start making four straight par, then birdied the par 4 fifth hole. Spicer made the turn from the front side with a one under par 35. On the back side, Spicer shot a three under par 33 that included four birdies and alone bogey on the par five fifteenth hole. Spicer actually hit the fifteenth green in regulation, but her birdied putt sped past the hole and finished off the green in the green side fringe. A good chip and a putt gave her the only bogey on her score card.
Jessica Kittelberger of Raleigh, NC is alone in second place at six over par 150. Amy Wooten of Clinton, NC and first round co-leader Kendall Dobbins of Summerfield, NC are tied for third place at 151. Tied for fifth place at 153 are Holly McCann of Raleigh, NC and Mary-Frances Hall of State Road, NC.
The final round begins on Thursday with a 9:00 am shotgun start.
This annual junior championship is conducted by the Carolinas Golf Association.

Back in New York, Hendrix returned to the Record Plant for an extended evening session. Jimi led Buddy Miles and Billy Cox through takes of "Lover Man," "Izabella," "Earth Blues," "Message To Love," "Changes," and "Burning Desire", although no masters were achieved. One recording from this session, an impromptu rendition of Albert King's "Born Under A Bad Sign" was issued posthumously as part of the 1994 compilation Jimi Hendrix :Blues (Experience Hendrix/MCA, 11060).

Ezy Ryder
Message To Love
Bleeding Heart
A long and productive evening of rehearsing and recording for Hendrix, Cox, and Miles. It is not known which session came first, but the Band Of Gypsys spent time on this day at Baggy's Studios, a makeshift rehearsal facility, and the Record Plant.
At the Record Plant, Hendrix and the group made significant progress on "Message To Love," "Ezy Ryder", and "Bleeding Heart." The last of eighteen takes provided a working master for "Message To Love", although Hendrix opted to retry the song the following evening and this version as scrapped. However, the group successfully recorded the basic track for "Ezy Ryder" on this evening. Additional work in the form of numerous guitar, bass, and vocal overdubs would be completed for this track at Electric Lady Studios during the summer of 1970, but this inspired session yielded the basic rhythm track Hendrix desired. "Ezy Ryder" would later be issued as part of the 1997 compilation First Rays Of The New Rising Sun (Experience Hendrix/MCA, 11599)).
Baggy's Studios, New York
Studio Rehearsals
At Baggy's Studios, Hendrix, Cox, and Miles devoted their efforts toward refining the body of songs Hendrix wished to perform as part of his upcoming performances at the Fillmore East. Hendrix had elected to record the Fillmore East performances for a live album he would deliver to capitol records to settle a longstanding legal dispute. "We rehearsed at a place called Baggy's in New York," explains Cox. "It was located down by Chinatown. We were there prior to Christmas and then a little after, practicing and rehearsing. We were working up a set with the songs we were going to perform for the [Fillmore East] concert. Then we realized that we had to do four shows and we used quite a few of those numbers in each of the shows."
Baggy's Studios was a nondescript Manhattan rehearsal facility opened by former Soft Machine road manager Tom Edmonston. Baggy's was by no means a recording studio designed to compete with the likes of the Record Plant. Baggy's had no control room; its purpose was to provide a space for artists to rehearse without restriction and at full volume for as much time as they required. This was a simple, yet effective rehearsal facility geared to those such as Hendrix who had no other convenient space to prepare for a live event or concert tour. "Baggy's had two floors," remembers Cox. "It was essentially warehouse space. We worked in the large room downstairs. It was a pretty simple set up. There were rugs on the floor and the walls were padded and soundproofed. " While commonplace now, the concept of a dedicated rehearsal room for rock acts [as opposed to vacant halls or theaters] had only begun to take hold in 1969. Cox explains. "The recording studio was exclusively used for creating and coming up with something new and different. This was something else. Previous to that time, whenever Jimi wanted to rehearse something he would call me up and I would come over to his apartment and we would play through some small amps. Rehearsal space did not exist as we know it today." Perhaps most importantly, Baggy's rental rates were a fraction of the cost of similar time at the Record Plant. With Hendrix's finances hamstrung by the construction cost overruns of his own Electric Lady Studios and the continuing PPX litigation, this was an important consideration.
Some of Hendrix's recordings of the Band Of Gypsys rehearsals have survived. They were originally made at 7 ½ i.p.s. on a two-track reel to reel tape machine. For Hendrix, these recordings served as a convenient tool to measure the group's progress throughout the rehearsals. Gene McFadden, a member of Hendrix's road crew, organized the group's equipment and installed a sound system from which a feed was patched into the tape recorder. Hendrix loaded a full spool of tape and essentially left the machine to run. Each song was recorded live with no overdubs or other such attempts to finish or even polish them.
Twelve examples of these spirited rehearsals, many from the long session on this and the following day, are featured as part of the Dagger Records release Jimi Hendrix: The Baggy's Rehearsal Sessions. Although dates for each recording from Baggy's are not entirely clear, it is known from tape box markings that "Burning Desire" and "Hoochie Coochie Man" were recorded on this day.
Prior to the release of Jimi Hendrix: The Baggy's Rehearsal Sessions, a few excerpts from Jimi's rehearsals at Baggy's have been commercially issued. "Burning Desire" and "Hoochie Coochie Man" first appeared overseas in 1973 as part of the long since deleted Loose Ends compilation. In recent years, the Baggy's recording of Jimi's yuletide medley of "Little Drummer Boy", "Silent Night", and "Auld Lang Syne" has been issued as the popular CD single Merry Christmas And A Happy New Year.

Message To Love
Earth Blues
For the second consecutive evening, Hendrix, Cox, and Miles spent time at both the Record Plant and Baggy's Studios.
It would appear that the group began the evening with an extended rehearsal session at Baggy's Studios. Afterwards, Hendrix began a separate session with Cox and Miles at the Record Plant beginning at 3 a.m. Hendrix returned to "Message To Love", achieving a satisfactory basic rhythm track with just a single take. Sixteen takes of "Earth Blues" followed, with the eleventh designated as 'complete.' Hendrix would add a host of overdubs to this working master, including guitar, lead vocal, backing vocals by the famed Ronettes, and even a new drum track by Mitch Mitchell before his death the following year. First issued as part of the since deleted Rainbow Bridge soundtrack, "Earth Blues" was reissued in 1997 as part of First Rays Of The New Rising Sun (Experience Hendrix/MCA, 11599). "Message To Love" has since been issued as part of the Jimi Hendrix Experience box set issued in September 2000.
December 31st, 1969
Fillmore East, New York
Two Shows
Prior to their two concerts later that evening, Hendrix and his Band Of Gypsys held an afternoon sound check and rehearsal at the Fillmore East. Later that evening, before a sold out crowd of 2,639, Hendrix rang in the New Year and new decade with two unforgettable performances.
The evening's festivities opened with a spirited set by the Voices Of East Harlem, an enthusiastic young gospel ensemble. With the anticipation of the sold out Fillmore audience heightened to fever pitch, Hendrix led his trio through a scintillating, seventy-five minute opening performance. None of the eleven songs presented had yet to grace an Experience album. In the place of signature songs like "Purple Haze" and "All Along The Watchtower" were confident renditions of "Izabella" and "Hear My Train A Comin'".
At midnight, Kip Cohen, the venue's master of ceremonies, rang in the new year and decade buffeted by Guy Lombardo's "Auld Lang Syne". Never one to be upstaged, Jimi and company greeted the joyous house with their own inspired reading of the holiday staple. For Amalie Rothschild, the Fillmore East's house photographer, the experience was an unforgettable one. "Then there was the countdown at midnight. It was the countdown that was a real scream. We're talking about the end of the Sixties. December 31, 1969 turning into January 1, 1970--.A new decade. This was significant. After all, we were living through it and we knew that the Sixties were the Sixties. We had this big countdown on the [Joshua White] light show screen with this big clock 10, 9, 8, 7, 6…and everybody is yelling together. Then the light show screen pulls up and everybody is on stage--all the crew and the musicians. Hendrix, who is now on stage, launches into this amazing rendition of 'Auld Lang Syne' and I filmed it [excerpts of Rothschild's color film footage can be seen in the VHS/DVD Band Of Gypsys]. This was history in the making. You could not miss this. His performance was just so inspired. It was just terrific and I can't find the words to describe it."
The recordings which make up both Band Of Gypsys and its two disc sequel Live At The Fillmore East certainly bear out Rothschild's remembrances. Jimi's celebrated work with the Band Of Gypsys stands among his most impressive and lasting achievements.
After the show, Ian Dove of Record Mirror interviewed Jimi Hendrix for the January 10, 1970 edition of the British paper. Later that night, Hendrix retreated to The Café Caliph (previously known as The Café Au Go Go) in Greenwich Village where he joined The James Cotton Blues Band on stage for a jam.

Cold Vengeance

No current Talk conversations about this book.
Most of the Pendergast books are stand-alone...while there may be some references to events in other books, rarely is it necessary to enjoy the story. Last year I read Two Graves, the latest in the series. The opening sequence of that book is a direction continuation of Cold Vengeance.
This book opens with our hero, Aloysius Pendergast, on a hunting trip with his dear brother in law. The brother of his now-dead wife. Deep in the Scottish moors, the BiL takes the opportunity to pop a cap into Pendergast, who naturally anticipated the event and tampered with the ammo. A fight ensues, and Pendergast winds up in quicksand with a bullet wound. Esterhazy, the BiL, leaves before confirming the kill (how convenient).
Before Esterhazy leaves, he tells Pendergast that his wife is still alive. Pendergast recovers, sets about investigating this claim, then comes to a showdown with Esterhazy and his German allies. At this point there are some twists and turns that I won't spoil, but the end does setup the start of the next book.
Pretty good story! Ready for the next one in the series.
Read Fever Dreams before you read this. This was excellent. Story arcs are woven together in a way that shows an evolution of crime from different aspects. Intrigue, murder, mystery and surprise ending mixed with interesting characters makes this book a page turner. I couldn't put it down :)
The latest in the Pendergast series has left me frustrated with the authors. The ending lacked originality and is trying to hard a being a cliff hanger. A good series will keep people reading without each book ending with a cliff hanger, and this opening ending just left me annoyed not eager for more.
If my library gets the newest book in December I'll probably keep reading, hoping it will be more like The Cabinet of Curiosities (book 3) and less like Die Hard.
A major improvement over Fever Dream, but still not back to the duo's best work. Still, it's made me look forward to the next Pendergast book more than I was looking forward to this one.

Agents of SHIELD Review: Coming Cleanby Jim Garner at . Comments
On Agents of SHIELD this week, we got a better look at Centipede as we met Raina, a new key player in the organization who arrived as the "Girl in the Flower Dress."
Raina has a lot more subtly to her style, easily charming Chan, a street pyrokentic, and convincing him that taking the name "Scorch" would give him a chance to be remembered by the world. The Yin to her Yang was the doctor we previously met in the pilot, who was much more direct in her methods of wanting to use him up.
The doctor, "Debbie" (as she was listed in the credits), was well portrayed by actress Shannon Lucio, but the character felt a bit two-dimensional, which is why I suspect she was given a spectacular send off in a ball of fire from the hands of Scorch. What better way to improve your antagonist than killing one off and introducing an improved version?
Speaking of Scorch, I was truly impressed that the solution to neutralizing Chan Ho Yin wasn't a warm and fuzzy ending; that Melinda and Coulson made the hard choice of taking him out by over dosing him Extremis and making him blow up.
This single story point gave the whole episode a darker and more realistic feel to it, especially when you consider how hard Coulson worked to keep Mike from exploding in the first episode from the very same thing.
If you consider that in conjunction with the full exposure of Skye's reason for hacking and joining SHIELD, it looks like we might be seeing some evolution of the story telling for the show.
Was anyone else surprised that they opted to complete so much of Skye's story this soon? While I realize there is another chapter to her story in the form of what she's looking for on her parents, I was surprised that they had Coulson learn about her lying and connection to Miles this quickly.
That said, now that Skye has shown her hand and Coulson has offered his (again), I really hope that we see some love spread among the other characters. Don't get me wrong, I'm thrilled with what we learned about Skye this week. From her fling with Miles to her realization that she wants something different than the Rising Tide, it was all great. I'm just ready to learn about Fitz, May, Ward or maybe even Coulson.
I guess we will find out in two weeks if there is a different tempo/feel to the show. But I'm kind of excited to see where Raina and her prison bound contact take Centipede and if they are going to turn up more often now.
Overall, I'm giving the episode 4.6 lost shirts in honor of Skye losing hers along with the lies. What did you think about the episode? Are you happy with what we've learned so far?

@braaf_hond, thanks for the reminder on that quote, I've added to the episode. I hate it when I miss a good quote :)
Ruth Negga as Raina is great. Scorch burning the doctor is great. The rest is mediocre.
Everything about this episode was better, its just too bad it will never be good with the terrible actors and the terrible main characters they use.
I agree, the show could be so much better ! I find the characters so bland, i can't root for them. Even Coulson can't save the show, his reaction towards Sky's hacking is stupid, her excuse about her parents is cheesy and too easy...
they have raised their game … going further into the mythology … centipede is using the rising tide … is it a "one off" or is the rising tide an unwitting branch of centipede ? scorch has been blown by shield but i am not sure we have seen the last of him : he had (or has) pyrotechnic abilities … he may well have been able to canalize the blast … we had to learn more about skye "this soon" … her past is her motive for infiltrating SHIELD … if we do not know what is driving her, what is the point of her being there ? SHIELD are the "good" guys but they may not have always been nice … so the wristbands might turn very nasty indeed! on a lighter note : simmons saying "you missed a button" ROLF and battleship was the moment where agent ward was the most fleshed… "you can't save someone from themselves, sir"
"you can if you get to them early enough"
Continue really good. I don't want to wait 2 weeks before a new episode I wish it was a new episode next week.
This was a really good episode. Last week I kept thinking how they would find out about Skye and the way they did was not one of the ways that crossed my mind. It looks like Coulson had no idea Skye was hiding something like that. I'm glad we found out more about centipede. I liked the beginning when Skye and Ward were playing battle ship and she was kicking his butt. I wasn't suprized that Skye was still on the teams side as was actually defending them because I believed she actually did care about them. I wasn't shocked we found all about her past at the same time because that's what I thought would happen but I wasn't expecting it to happen so soon but I guess it makes since because her story is actually bigger than we thought and they can do the story on her trying to find out about her parents which should be a very interesting story. I agree I want to find out more about Ward, May, Fitz, Simmons, and Coulson especially Coulson and May. Can't wait till the next episode it looks really good.
So, what are the wristbands that Miles and Skye have to wear?
It is it something like an ankle bracelet that people under house arrest need to wear? Is she not a trusted member of the team anymore? I liked the background information and story line. I loved the look on Skye's face when she opened the door to get her top.
That was priceless.

Epic's Rod Fergusson has said that almost every game review written has some sort of reference to Gears Of War within it.
Speaking to Eurogamer and addressing the series' perceived lack of innovation, he said "When Gears 1 came out people said it was derivative and not innovative. I have a Google Alert for Gears of War. Every review that comes out now has a reference to Gears of War somewhere in their game, whether it be the cover mechanic or Horde. Almost every game review has a reference to Gears.
"There are other games out there. Call of Duty is killing it. Halo killed it. We'll be there too and be a part of that notion of the third-person game and cover-based shooters. We helped establish that genre."
Gears Of War 3 hits on September 20th on Xbox 360. The multiplayer beta is running right now.

Have Faith Like That of Children
The Patheos website published this request on The Divine Feminine website:
"If you could create your dream curriculum — a set of materials for the spiritual development of children and adolescents — what would it look like? Go into your deep wisdom and send us a blog of 300 to 700 words."
Have Faith Like That of Children
We are so busy attempting to keep adult control over children that we forget that they often see truth much brighter and more simply than do we. We are all children deep in our emotions, where it may be that our "souls" reside. For certain purity of spirit resides in the child before they learn about life through our own actions and reactions. Our religions strive to deny this purity of spirit at birth, but I believe this is an effort to continue priestly power.
Lesson #1 - How to be perfectly still in their souls, even if their bodies must move to accomplish this.
Meditation in nature
Lesson #2 - How to listen to the small sounds
Hear their own breathing and that of nature around them, including the sounds of humans. Identify all natural sounds
Lesson #3 - How to collect their free-flowing thoughts
Flash card with simple words and sounds that came into their consciousness while meditating.
Lesson #4 - How to tell their own stories
Encourage them to tell their own experiences through pictures, words, movement, music
Lesson #5 - How to ask respectful questions
Encouraging opening the mind to different interpretations of the same shared experience
Lesson #6 - How to give respectful answers
Encouraging personal experience as valid, and often necessary, background information
Lesson #7 - Explore concepts of point-of-view with the children
Why do you think or feel this to be true? How do you compare what you believe to be true with what others believe?
Lesson #8 - How to look each other in the eye
Encourage children to identify emotions based on body language of each other and other animals
Lesson #9 - Taking turns as a form of respect
Encourage children to bring out the ideas of others, so that all participate without fear of ridicule
Lesson #10 - Identify connections
Help children to create circles of community with chains, intersecting, and overlapping where similarities occur.
I believe these methods of allowing children to explore what is all around them and explore with wonder, instead of pre-programmed prejudices based on fears instilled by others, would reignite the wonder of childhood which is where I believe the openness to the spiritual level of life resides. We teach compassion for themselves and the world in which we live out of our children with fear-based religions and rites of passage.

Arizona Cardinals
ESPN's Clayton on Jared Veldheer and Ted Ginn, Jr.
The early returns for what the Arizona Cardinals have done in free agency, at least on a local level, have been pretty positive.
Their two biggest moves, signing Raiders left tackle Jared Veldheer and Panthers receiver Ted Ginn, Jr., appear to have filled two of the team's biggest holes.
Left tackle? Check.
Fast wide receiver? Check.
But while the Cardinals were filling needs with seemingly capable players, many other teams around the NFL were adding Pro Bowl talents to their rosters.
So, how have the Cardinals really done?
"I give it a double," ESPN NFL insider John Clayton told Doug and Wolf Friday on Arizona Sports 98.7 FM of the Veldheer signing. "It's not a home run; it's not Joe Thomas, it's not the best left tackle. But it's a solid left tackle that can get in there and play for many, many years.
"He's a good, solid player."
Clayton said Branden Albert, who ended up in Miami, and Eugene Monroe, who stayed in Baltimore, may have been better options, but the Cardinals did well given the fact that they weren't likely to get them anyway.
So, enter Veldheer, who was a fixture along the Raiders' offensive line at left tackle.
"It's a guy that can come in, be there for four or five years and then you make an evaluation on that," he said. "He's a good player, good guy, so I give it a solid double."
Given that some would say the left tackle position has more closely resembled a groundout in which the runner trips over first base, a solid double isn't too bad.
But then there's Ginn, the former first-round pick who is expected to bring an element of speed to the Cardinals offense.
"I like the fact that as a third receiver he's a guy that has some speed," Clayton said. "He's definitely got the ability to return.
"I don't know if he's that much better than Andre Roberts, but I think he's different and he has some explosion to him."
Ginn said Thursday he probably runs a 40-yard dash in around 4.38 seconds, and he averaged a career-best 15.4 yards per reception last season. His skill set would appear to be a good fit with the team's personnel.
"They've got Floyd, they've got Larry Fitzgerald, so I think it helps," Clayton said. "Because it helps on special teams and it definitely gives another weapon on offense."
