France's mobile-operator-led NFC association, AFSCM, has dropped its long-held NFC logo and touchpoint symbol for nonpayment services, Cityzi, in favor of on logo based on EMVCo's contactless-payment acceptance mark.
French mobile operators have announced they will more than double the number of NFC-enabled phones rolled out to subscribers by the end of 2012, to 2.5 million, the most of any country in Europe, they predict.
Even as the NFC Forum attempts to broaden the reach of its NFC touchpoint symbol, known as the N-Mark, rival marks are surfacing, threatening to present consumers with a fragmented array of NFC icons as the technology rolls out.
France Telecom-Orange will put NFC phones on sale in its shops throughout France starting in January–without the NFC services to match–hoping to seed the market with devices.
NFC Times Exclusive Insight – Following a lull in attention on host-card emulation with the announcement and launch of Apple Pay in the latter half of last year, the buzz appears to be back on HCE, and among the latest organizations promoting it is MasterCard Worldwide.
NFC Times Exclusive – MasterCard Worldwide and EMVCo are working on a "payment identifier" that could cover all tokens for a particular card account issued to consumers, according to the payment network.
NFC Times Exclusive Insight – Contactless payments in Europe, almost exclusively from cards, increased by more than 170% in the fourth quarter of 2014, MasterCard Europe has announced, and the payment network cited NFC payments projects in Europe as a positive sign, while promoting the prospect for host-card emulation-based launches.
NFC Times Exclusive Insight – Samsung Electronics has signed an agreement to acquire mobile-payments start-up LoopPay, setting up a battle between Apple and Samsung in the U.S. over rival mobile-payments platforms, while raising the prospect for more fragmentation in the U.S.
NFC Times Exclusive Insight – Israel-based contactless reader and NFC company On Track Innovations Tuesday announced the resignation of CEO Ofer Tziperman after less than two years on the job, with observers chalking up the exit to insufficient progress Tziperman has made in turning around the company's finances and its low share price since a board takeover by dissident shareholders in late 2012.
NFC Times Exclusive – The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority has issued a request for proposal with plans to launch an NFC pilot this year followed later by a rollout, putting the authority's Mifare-based fare-collection application mainly on Android NFC phones.
NFC Times Exclusive Insight – Visa today announced that other leading device manufacturers besides Apple would begin deploying its Visa Token Service this year, to "deliver secure mobile payments through their phones, tablets and other connected devices."
NFC Times Exclusive Insight – Dutch bank Rabobank has launched an NFC-enabled mobile wallet, storing a debit application on embedded secure elements in two older Samsung Android devices, which the bank claims is the first NFC mobile payments launch in the country.
NFC Times Exclusive –U.S.-based white-label mobile payments and commerce vendor Mozido told NFC Times it is seeing significant interest in host-card emulation among prospective customers, though did not release any details on service providers considering the technology.
Sales in NXP Semiconductor's emerging ID business, which mainly includes its NFC chips, soared in the fourth quarter, growing by more than 200%, compared with the same period a year earlier, thanks mainly to the roll out of Apple Pay.
NFC Times Exclusive Insight – U.S.-based Mozido, a supplier of cloud-based, white-label mobile payments and commerce products, upped its stake in NFC technology, making a $2.5 million investment in host-card emulation start-up SimplyTapp.
NFC Times Exclusive Insight – Broadcom made only passing reference to NFC during a conference call Thursday to discuss the company's fourth quarter and full-year earnings, although CEO Scott McGregor listed NFC as one of the technologies expected to help lead to growth in the company's high-end connectivity business.

The adorable foal set to be the star of Sunday's game: Budweiser debuts new Super Bowl ad showing the life of iconic Clydesdale from just two weeks old
This year's Budweiser Super Bowl ad isn't funny or sexy, but you just might shed a tear.
For decades, Anheuser-Busch has used its famous Clydesdales in Super Bowl ads for Budweiser. Instead of a herd of majestic hoof-stomping steeds thundering across a valley floor, this year's 60-second ad centers on the bond an adorable Clydesdale foal shares with his trainer.
The latest star is barely two weeks old. A foal born January 16 at Anheuser-Busch's Warm Springs Ranch near the mid-Missouri town of Boonville is featured in an ad that will appear in Sunday's game between the NFC champion San Francisco 49ers and AFC champion Baltimore Ravens.
Star: A baby Clydesdale horse, only two weeks old, is the star of Budweiser's new Super Bowl ad
VIDEO Inside the stables to meet the Super Bowl's newest star
Anheuser-Busch will spend more than $20 million on Super Bowl ads this Sunday and, sticking with tradition, one ad will feature the famous Clydesdales.
Jeff Knapper runs the company's multimillion-dollar operation that breeds, feeds and trains the horses, reports ABC. And those horse are his life.
'The company is committed to the Clydesdale because they represent the tradition, the heritage, the quality that goes into everything we do,' he said. 'For the company to get it done and get it done the right way, it has to be in the house. So this is a big operation for us. It is a significant investment.'
Knapper's team takes care of the
daily needs of 175 Clydesdales around the country and breeds 43 horses a year.
Star baby: The foal was just seven days old when the commercial was filmed at Warm Springs Ranch - the breeding facility for Budweiser Clydesdales in Boonville, Missouri
The goal for Budweiser is to have 10 future show horses born each year, according to ABC, and only stallions are eligible.
'We have very, very stringent requirements to be a Budweiser Clydesdale,' Knapper said. 'They must have a white blaze, a black mane and tail ... and four white, stocking feet.'
Those that don't make the cut are sold for roughly $5,000 apiece. But some of the mares, like 8-year-old Darla, the mother of Budweiser's future Super Bowl star, are kept around to keep future generations going.
Proud papa: The 60-second Super Bowl ad chronicles the bond a Clydesdale foal shares with his trainer
True life: The ad, marking the 23rd Super Bowl ad featuring the Clydesdales, is based on the real experiences of Budweiser Clydesdale trainer John Soto
Moving on: The commercial shows a trainer raising the horse and then saying goodbye. Years later, he watches it in this parade as the horse trots by without notice
He remembers: Suddenly, as the trainer is about to drive away in his pickup truck, he suddenly hears his horse galloping down the street
Strong bond: Soto says he has been training Budweiser Clydesdales for more than 30 years
Trainer John Soto manages Warm Springs Ranch in Boonville, Mo., where future Clydesdales are born and are trained until they are two years old.
'Even though we don't see them after
they are 2, they were born here so, of course, when you go out on the
road and you see the [Budweiser] hitch, they're your babies that you
raised [so] you have to have some pride in that,' Soto told ABC.
'With 40 coming through the next few months, we're going to be pretty hectic,' he said.
Watcful eye: Darla, a 7-year-old Clydesdale, top, watches over the young star
This year's Super Bowl spot pretty much tells Soto's story.
An actor portrays the trainer, showing him bonding with the animal and
even sleeping in the stall, which Soto actually used to do.
'We actually slept in the lab,' he said. 'I had a cot in the lab when I had a mare, but now since we have come here [to the farm] all the stalls are monitored so it gives me the luxury of actually sleeping in my own bed.'
Soto has been training Clydesdales for over 30 years.
'They are like people,' he said. 'Once you get to know them and know their size and their facial looks and everything, you know who they are.'
Like people: 'They are like people,' Soto said. 'Once you get to know them and know their size and their facial looks and everything, you know who they are.'
The Clydesdale connection to Budweiser traces back to 1933 when August Busch Jr. surprised his father by having the majestic horses parade down a St. Louis street carrying beer to celebrate the end of Prohibition, according to ABC.
The company has been breeding them since 1940.
'People love the Clydesdales and they are a symbol,' Rob McCarthy, the vice president of Budweiser tells ABC. 'They are the symbol of Budweiser, and they are the symbol of the company and, to many people, a symbol of the country. The spirit, the freedom of America is embodied in these majestic Clydesdales, and we are just so lucky to have them be recognized as part of Budweiser.'
VIDEO Watch the Budweiser Super Bowl spot
Mercedes made a pitch for younger viewers by featuring model Kate Upton in a car-wash teaser, the camera slowly panning her scantily-clad body. The car maker released the video online, and Upton tweeted it to her 697,000 followers, generating headlines and a rebuke by the Parents Television Council. In another ad Willem Dafoe plays Satan.
Volkswagen's spot, featuring a white American man speaking in a Jamaican accent, drew some complaints but won endorsements from national officials, who said it was a celebration of reggae music and the country's hospitable culture.
The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee complained Coke's ad is racist. The commercial shows an Arab pulling a camel through the desert as cowboys, Las Vegas show girls and a crowd of marauders like those in 'Mad Max' race by to reach a gigantic bottle of Coke. Coke apologized but refused to pull the ad.
SodaStream revealed that CBS rejected a Super Bowl commercial showing bottles of Super Bowl sponsors Coke and Pepsi exploding spontaneously as they were being delivered to a store at the moment someone used a SodaStream product. SodaStream posted the ad on its website and said it will run on other TV networks.
Doritos is back in the Super Bowl with its crowd-sourced ad effort from 3,000 submissions called 'Crash the Super Bowl.' Consumers will vote on which finalist ends up in the game; Doritos will pick the other. Beyond a cash prize, the ad creator that scores highest will work with director Michael Bay on the next 'Transformers' movie.
Audi goes for emotion with a teaser showing a boy attending a prom solo. He's clearly disappointed. As he leaves, his father tosses him the keys to a 2013 Audi S6. He arrives at the prom brimming with confidence.
Taco Bell
In the Taco Bell ad, a clutch of elderly folks sneak out of a retirement home and head out on the town and are seen making out in bathroom stalls, hitting foam parties, getting bad tattoos. The night ends in the parking lot of a Taco Bell.
Go Daddy
Super nerd actor Jesse Heiman got lucky in a Go Daddy ad with supermodel Bar Refaeli. The pair kissed in a Superbowl advert for Internet hosting site Go Daddy which is due to air on Sunday.
Gildan Activewear
First-time Super Bowl advertiser Gildan Activewear teases a spot that shows a man waking up dazed in a bedroom with furry handcuffs around his wrist.
Dream team Paul Rudd, Seth Rogen and Bob Odenkirk team up in an ad directed by Jon Favreau.
Kraft's MiO
'30 Rock' star Tracy Morgan appears to say a bleeped out profanity in a teaser to introduce Kraft MiO's sports drink drops, MiO Fit.
'Big Bang Theory' star Kaley Cuoco grants wishes to a peppy song in the teaser for Toyota's spot.

Rafa opposes play-off idea
18 Feb 2010 - 09:03:24
Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez believes the idea of a play-off to determine who takes the fourth Champions League spot is laughable.
It has been suggested that the Premier League teams that finish the regular season between fourth and seventh should feature in an end-of-campaign play-off, but Benitez believes the football calendar is already too crowded.
He said: "We are playing too much now. They were talking about a 39th game being played in Asia. If we now play the play-offs we'll be playing until the end of the century.
"To play three, maybe four fixtures, when you don't have time with international football - when will you play, how can you play these games and what does it mean for the team that finishes fourth?
"Maybe we can do the same with the teams at the bottom of the table. If you finish fourth maybe you could play with the team who finished third from the bottom.
"Then during the whole season we can play 50 games and we don't have to rest so that will be fantastic."

Insurers are calling attention to a potential "rate shock" that will push young adults out of the nongroup insurance market under the ACA due to limitations on premium differences by age. We compare the impact of the ACA's 3:1 rate band to a "looser" 5:1 alternative. Loosening the bands would have very little impact on out-of-pocket rates paid by the youngest purchasers once subsidies are taken into account. Also, the majority of young adults currently purchasing nongroup coverage will also be financially protected by the exchange subsidies, the ACA's Medicaid expansion, and the expansion of dependent coverage to young adults.

Maybe he should stay at BW then and fight one of the excellent boxers there rather than someone 1 fight removed from a loss to Jorge Arce.

Council for Regulatory Environmental Modeling
Recent Additions | Contact Us Search: All EPA This Area
AMP performs three key functions for air modeling within the RAIMI environment:
RAIMI Background The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Region 6, established the Regional Air Impact Modeling Initiative (RAIMI) Program as a risk-based prioritization tool and project platform designed to develop, implement, and track multi-media solutions to environmental problems. RAIMI allows for region-wide prioritization of the potential for health risks, on a community level of resolution, associated with exposure from multiple contaminants from multiple sources and through multiple exposure pathways. The RAIMI platform is a combination of flexible exposure/risk methodologies which depend on the integrated use of a number of components supported by advanced modeling/software tools. Specifically these include the following components and supporting software tools:
Additionally, automation of precise implementation methods ensures consistency among air modeling analyses. AMP implements automated data pre-processing to prepare source-specific meteorological and air model source input files accounting for localized variations in site characteristics.
The RAIMI AMP was developed to automate this process so that it would be practical to air model hundreds to thousands of sources which could be impacting air quality of a single community.

The Irish have a simple and touching phrase, "I am sorry for your troubles", which manages to convey sympathy for the bereaved while avoiding the embarrassment of rambling on. It can be tricky, too, to know what to say when a friend is diagnosed with some grievous illness – and here the journalist Deborah Orr, who went through the maelstrom of breast cancer treatment last year, has some very useful advice.
Top of the list, expressions of pity are particularly unwelcome, as in "I feel so sorry for you," with all its implications of being a hapless victim; "I do so wish you didn't have to go through this ghastly time" is much preferable. Then she notes that offers of practical support have to be specific. Not "What can I do to help?" as this saddles the poor patient with the responsibility of coming up with some appropriate task. Much better are suggestions along the lines of "Can I pick up the children from school on Thursday?" Similarly, she found "I really want to see you" very annoying, as this inevitably leads on to negotiations about where and when. Again, it is much better to be specific, as in "Can I drop in to see you after work tomorrow evening?"
The further comments and observations friends and family should avoid include "If anyone can beat this, it is you", "You are looking well/awful", and "Your worries are unfounded". Finally, "How are you today?" is preferable to "How are you?" as it permits an honest reply ("pretty terrible really") while keeping open the possibility that tomorrow might be different.
Despite being prescribed a medley of potent painkillers by her family doctor for her postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) following an attack of shingles in February, a reader reports she still has "constant and excruciating pain" at the site of the original rash. What, she wonders should she do?
Here, the key to successful treatment, according to the late Dr David Bowsher, the great authority on PHN, lies in exploiting the principle of synergy – the judicious combination of drugs, each working in a different way.
Thus, the standard remedy of amitriptyline can take up to three weeks to kick in, so needs to be prescribed at the first sign of the shingles rash and increased at weekly intervals to 75mg daily – together with an artificial saliva spray to counter the inevitable side-effect of a dry mouth. This needs to be taken in conjunction with the antiepileptic drug gabapentin that "quietens down" the over-stimulated nerve endings in the skin and should be taken three times daily to a maximum dosage of 2,400mg.
Then it is necessary to deal with the problem of allodynia, the acute sensitivity of the area affected by the rash to light touch. This is best achieved by either covering it with cling-film or applying Versatis, a local anaesthetic plaster. Taken together these three treatments, Dr Bowsher maintained, should effectively control the "unendurable misery" for 90 per cent of people suffering from this "most persistent and intense of pain syndromes".
This week's conundrum comes courtesy of Mrs D I from Norwich, who reports that for the past 15 years her eyes start watering the moment she wakes in the morning. This is further exacerbated when yawning or having to bend over – as when digging the garden. Her ophthalmologist initially diagnosed a blockage of the tear ducts, but neither their syringing through nor a subsequent operation to tighten the muscles of the lower eyelid have improved matters. It may be relevant that in addition she is also troubled by excess production of nasal mucous and saliva, and that exertion causes her head and face to sweat profusely. She would be more than interested to hear from anyone else similarly affected.
Finally, further to the comments last week on medical malingering, a reader recalls his National Service, when the procedures for obtaining sick leave were so arduous it was often preferable just to suffer in silence. They were as follows: (1) Make request to sergeant and accept insults. (2) Fold all equipment and clothing, blankets and other bedding into prescribed form of rolled mattress and tie with string. (3) Carry on as many journeys as required and book into Battery stores. (4) Parade with other shirkers in overcoat and gym clothes in freezing cold before being marched off to medical centre. (5) After waiting for the medical officer to return from breakfast and smoke cigarette, tell him of your ailments. Take the two Aspirin prescribed and reverse processes (4) to (2).

Bourride Sètoise - Provence Fish Soup With Aïoli
Total Time
15 minsCook
45 minsBourride is a classic Mediterranean fish stew or soup, which is much less complicated and expensive to make than bouillabaisse. There are various local variations, this version originates from Sète, where they make it with monkfish & no other type of fish is added; however, in Marseille they use a mixture of any firm white fish. Some people serve the broth on its own, followed by the fish and vegetables with boiled potatoes and aïoli. Another way of serving it is to put slices of French bread in bowls and pour the soup over them. However, this version is slightly more restrained and elegant! There is a local myth that says, when the Greek gods got bored with Olympus they came to Marseille to eat bourride, this being the only food that was fit for the gods! Don't be put off by the amount of garlic that goes into it, the soup itself tastes creamy rather than garlicky, and it's up to you how much aïoli you spread on your bread! This is a much adapted recipe taken from one of my favourite French cookbooks, "La Cuisine du Sud - Poissons et Fruits de Mer" This quantity serves 6-8 people, with copious amounts of French bread & aïoli.....oh yes, don't forget the Pastis too!
Nutrition- 1 1⁄2 kg monkfish or 1 1⁄2 kg other firm white fish fillets
- 1⁄2 liter olive oil, approx
- 3 tomatoes, chopped roughly
- 2 onions, chopped roughly
- 13 garlic cloves, peeled & diced
- 1 sprig thyme
- 1 orange, zest of, grated
- 1⁄2 teaspoon saffron
- 2 glasses white wine
- 1⁄2 lemon, juice of
- 3 egg yolks
- salt and black pepper
- In a large pan bring to the boil the roughly chopped tomatoes and onions, 5 cloves of garlic, the thyme, saffron & orange zest.
- Add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil & one glass of white wine plus 1 litre of water.
- Simmer for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, pound the remaining garlic to a puree in a pestle and mortar (or liquidise it if you are feeling lazy).
- Blend in 2 egg yolks and add salt and pepper.
- Gradually beat in the remaining olive oil in a thin stream, using a whisk, until you feel the aioli is thick enough.
- Add lemon juice to taste and leave on one side. (Reward yourself for your efforts by drinking the other glass of wine!).
- Cut the skinned and boned fish into 1" chunks and add it to the saucepan.
- Poach for 15 minutes.
- Then remove the fish with a draining spoon and keep warm.
- Sieve the stock and discard the *vegetables.
- Return the stock to the pan and reheat gently.
- Take about half of the aioli and beat the remaining egg yolk into it. Then slowly pour the warmed stock onto it, stirring constantly.
- Return this mixture to the pan and heat gently, stirring all the time, until it thickens slightly.
- It should be like rather thin custard. Don't let it boil, or it will curdle.
- Divide the cooked fish between serving bowls and pour the soup over it.
- Serve with thin slices of toasted French bread and the remaining aioli.
- NOTE: I serve the *vegetables - tomatoes, onions & garlic on the side as an extra vegetable.

I've never heard a difference with amps, but transports and speakers are effected depending on how well they're built.
For instance, my Cambridge 851, no difference, but I've heard it with cheaper players and most speakers.
I used to have a house brick on top of my cd player to stop any vibrations effecting the laser. Does is it actually make any difference with other components?
Yeah defo for speakers, but even top of the range cd players would benefit depending on what stand they are on imo. Also wood flooring when using speakers, piles of bricks should be used! I can't imagine any benefit for SS amps, as you say. Not sure about tube amps? if they can be affected by vibration as I've never used them with speakers, but because most tube amps display thier tubes on top only a madman would attempt to balance some heavy concrete type stuff on top of them . Spiked feet on everything makes more sense.
No benefit if you are using a headphone set up, unless you like to dance about like an idiot but then I would suggest putting a brick on top of your head to stop it getting out of hand...
There are better options for CD players and tube amps if it's an issue. Proper feet on a CD player (even something as cheap as cork + rubber), and dampers on tube amps.
Talking vibration control, under the devices,i use the following combination from bottow to top:
Golden Sound ceramic cones + Dh Square
Carbon kevlar plate (vibration's sponge)
Fadel amethyst steel/teflon system
And it's important to respect the horizontality (in the two dimensions) on turning machines and speakers
Under my tube amp i use a steel triangle on Lowan counter cones
The feet of my furniture (and speakers stands) are filled with sand and have some Golden sound ceramic cones & DH square
under the furniture's feet.
Oh well and i put some tar sheets into my devices when possible (add weight and calm down vibes), so under my drive, converter and the passive preamp.
And 140lb of rocks on the subwoofer
The combination quoted above
(Golden Sound ceramic cones + Dh Square
Fadel amethyst steel/teflon system)
works extremely well but is beaten by the Relaxa plate, magnetic levitation system:
One of the best isolation products are Stillpoints....
Works extremely well but is beaten by the Relaxa plate, magnetic levitation system:
Didn't know anyone used SAP gear. They used to retail state side with a distributor in Hawaii but that didn't last very long, I think Vincenzo cut that short when he realized the shipping wasn't any cheaper for those in the upper 48. The Relaxa plate is a very good product, their speakers are also very nice if you've tried any.
Try Minus K Technology for ultimate isolation.
Just a tease to derail this disturbing lack of pics...
Is that a toaster?
I imagine that's a very warm component. The bread and butter of your set-up, you might say. Hopefully the treble isn't too hot, though.i'm sorry i'll go away now
that's a 47 Labs 4717 Shigaraki integrated amp
it makes terrible toast!
ha, my exact thought too
Bet his favorite music is Pop Tarts!
Yep, I'm coming with you..
I'd say it's an improvement over my iPhone 4 (the camera I mean). As for the system...Later this week that box and Macbook will be moving and there will be a turntable there (finally). Not the one I really wanted, but a decent used deal to hold me over.
The 851 is also due for an upgrade, but that'll be awhile considering the options I'm looking at.
Loved my Tannoy Kensington SE for over 3 years. Realized at some point that even bigger Tannoys would be more efficient & extended, and that this would be significant in my room. Here are the new Canterbury SE in my setup. Those are 15" dual-concentric drivers with alnico magnets (shared by the woofer & 2" compression driver tweeter); 235 Litre cabinets; yields an honest 96dB/Watt and 28Hz @-3dB. You might not think that would be a big difference from 93dB/Watt and 29Hz @-6dB, but it is. I also tried the Yorkminster SE, but while its bass was arguably of a higher quality, there was a hardness to the upper mids/lower treble region (compared to Kensington and Canterbury) that I couldn't get past.
Paired with 250+ Watts/ch tube amps? Reaching concert-level at low distortion is not a problem.
Looks are decidedly old-school; love it or hate it. I actually dislike most (if not all) of the aesthetic trends in modern high end speakers anyways :)
For headphones I've been keeping it simple: an HD650 with a "maxed" PPA (still great amps) at home; Shure se535 & iPhone at work. I prefer the HD650, when isolation isn't an issue; super headphones for the money. Not pictured because you guys know damn well what they look like -- and they're not "summit-fi" :)
When l auditioned the K-01, the speakers used were the Tannoy Westminster Royal se and the SQ was very life like. Because l like the look of Tannoy speakers and their SQ, l was going to get a pair of Kensington se but then realised my wallet was very light. I'd still like some Tannoy speakers but that will probably be along time off.

From Blakey to Brown, Como to Costa, Eckstine to Eldridge, Galbraith to Garner, Harris to Hines, Horne to Hyman, Jamal to Jefferson, Kelly to Klook; Mancini to Marmarosa, May to Mitchell, Negri to Nestico, Parlan to Ponder, Reed to Ruther, Strayhorn to Sullivan, Turk to Turrentine, Wade to Williams… the forthcoming publication Treasury of Pittsburgh Jazz Connections by Dr. Nelson Harrison and Dr. Ralph Proctor, Jr. will document the legacy of one of the world's greatest jazz capitals.
Do you want to know who Dizzy Gillespie idolized? Did you ever wonder who inspired Kenny Clarke and Art Blakey? Who was the pianist that mentored Monk, Bud Powell, Tad Dameron, Elmo Hope, Sarah Vaughan and Mel Torme? Who was Art Tatum's idol and Nat Cole's mentor? What musical quartet pioneered the concept adopted later by the Modern Jazz Quartet? Were you ever curious to know who taught saxophone to Stanley Turrentine or who taught piano to Ahmad Jamal? What community music school trained Robert McFerrin, Sr. for his history-making debut with the Metropolitan Opera? What virtually unknown pianist was a significant influence on young John Coltrane, Shirley Scott, McCoy Tyner, Bobby Timmons and Ray Bryant when he moved to Philadelphia from Pittsburgh in the 1940s? Would you be surprised to know that Erroll Garner attended classes at the Julliard School of Music in New York and was at the top of his class in writing and arranging proficiency?
Some answers can be gleaned from the postings on the Pittsburgh Jazz Network.
For almost 100 years the Pittsburgh region has been a metacenter of jazz originality that is second to no other in the history of jazz. One of the best kept secrets in jazz folklore, the Pittsburgh Jazz Legacy has heretofore remained mythical. We have dubbed it "the greatest story never told" since it has not been represented in writing before now in such a way as to be accessible to anyone seeking to know more about it. When it was happening, little did we know how priceless the memories would become when the times were gone.
Today jazz is still king in Pittsburgh, with events, performances and activities happening all the time. The Pittsburgh Jazz Network is dedicated to celebrating and showcasing the places, artists and fans that carry on the legacy of Pittsburgh's jazz heritage.
There is a dearth of oral history available documenting the greatness of the Pittsburgh Jazz Tradition and Legacy.. Please feel free to add a quote of your own or words of wisdom or humor from a Pittsburgh artist that you may find of interest.

Jazz Quote of the day-"It's more than beauty that I feel in music -that I think that musicians feel in music. What we know we feel we'd like to convey to the listener. We hope that this can be shared by all. I think, basically, that's about what it is we're trying to do. If you ask me that question, I might say this today and tomorrow something entirely different, because there are many things to do in music.
But over-all, I think the main thing a musician would like to do is to give a picture to the listener of the many wonderful things he knows and senses in the universe. That's what music is to me -it's just another way of saying this is a big, beautiful universe we live in, that's been given to us, and here's an example of just how magnificent and encompassing it is. That's what I would like to do, I think that's one of the greatest things you can do in life, and we try to do it in some way. The musician's way is through his music."

No-nonsense family-run hotel in the centre of town, with a renowned restaurant and delicious breakfasts.
Who goes?
Not a typical holiday hotel, this
place mainly draws in single business folk, travellers who can do without the
glossy trimmings, and gourmets in the know.
Nice and central, right on Olbia's main street – which is partly pedestrianised, hence minimal noise – and a hop and a skip from the station.
"Reliable" may mean boring to some, but in this case it equates with solid, old-fashioned virtues. There's nothing flashy about the place, on the contrary it revels in its homely simplicity, without stinting on the basic comforts, and without falling for the "quaint" trap.
Husband and wife team run a tight ship, all is honest, polite, ungimmicky, honed by decades of quiet, front-line hospitality in the best Sard tradition.
Don't expect grand, think perfectly satisfactory, if on the small side – but certainly adequate for a night or two in town. The décor is subdued and there's no view to speak of, but all the essentials are there: en-suite bathroom, TV, telephone, air-conditioning, minibar…and that's about it.
Food and drink
Now we're talking business: the food is the Gallura's real raison d'être, a magnet for people throughout northern Sardinia. The restaurant is a cornucopia of everything that's best about the island's cuisine – the soups, the seafood, the roast meats and exquisite desserts. Everything is fresh and lovely, and chances are you'll shamefully over-indulge. Admittedly, you don't need to stay in the hotel to take advantage of its kitchen, but non-guests will forgo breakfast, which is this case includes crusty local breads, light-as-a-feather cakes, homemade yoghurts and jams, and soul-stirring coffee.
Value for money
By local standards, it's a steal.
Access for guests with disabilities
Not at present – all rooms accessed by stairs.
Family friendly

Kyle Jackson's New Series, American Queen, Shatters Gender Binary
By Kyle Jackson
"Why wouldn't you want to be masculine… you're a man?"
I was once asked this question about why I consider myself feminine and proud. Even with today's progressive gender fusion in the pioneering cities in the United States, there is still so much the general public doesn't know regarding gender nonconformity. I am an openly gay commercial photographer. Since I was young, I've always been more feminine than the rest. My unique gender and sexual expression as a child was apparent at an early age. When I was 4 years old, I went up to my aunt at a birthday party and said, "Aunty Jess, I'm not like other boys, I'm a girly boy."

A quote attributed to Christo and Jeanne-Claude at the entrance of the show expresses it rather eloquently: "Any element of impermanence in an artwork creates a feeling of fragility, even vulnerability, as well as a sense of urgency about viewing it. There is at the same time an inherent awareness of the loss we feel at its absence, knowing that tomorrow it will be gone." You need to be there to absorb the "eternity of the moment," as German art critic Petra Kipphoff put it, before it vanishes forever.
For those of us who have not had the opportunity to see these works in their actual context, this exhibit is the next best thing. It displays compelling documentation of the technical requirements and processes that eventually led to the completion of some of their more ambitious projects. (In 1983 many Miamians had the unique experience of actually participating in the creation of one of those projects, Surrounded Islands, in which eleven spoil islands in Biscayne Bay were encircled by vivid pink fabric.)
Bulgarian-born Christo Vladimirov Javacheff and his French wife, Jeanne-Claude Denat de Guillebon, have always declined sponsorship, patronage, and commercial subsidy, and have funded their projects themselves from the sale of their preliminary work -- the materials on view at this show. The Würth collection includes illustrations of most of the artists' oeuvre, from the earliest to their most recent, The Gates, a dynamic installation of 7500 saffron-colored fabric panels suspended from frames ("gates") that snaked through the pathways in New York's Central Park. (The Gates was unveiled this past February 12 and remained up beyond its originally scheduled sixteen-day run due to immense popularity.)
The Würth collection also includes actual pieces, such as 1963's Wrapped Road Sign, two triangular traffic signs covered with rope and fabric; and an example of the artists' Store Fronts series: architectural sculptures, created between 1964 and 1967, in which life-size glass windows are partly concealed by a cloth, thwarting the viewer from seeing what's within, unlike commercial façades bent on inviting us to look inside.
But Christo and Jeanne-Claude later became known for much grander undertakings, relentless but still gentle and conscientious incursions upon the world's landscapes and urban edifices. After a scrupulously documented process of preparatory sketches, drawings, collages, scale models, and countless hours in negotiation with governmental agencies over public safety and environmental issues, the team launches colossal "wrapping" ventures: the Pont Neuf bridge in Paris (covered for two weeks in 1985), the Reichstag in Berlin (two weeks in 1995), the Little Bay coast in Australia (seven weeks in 1969), and Wrapped Trees, 178 trees wrapped in nearly 600,000 square feet of translucent fabric (Riehen, Switzerland, two weeks in 1998).
The collection of illustrations confirms Christo's prowess as a draftsman, and many collages incorporate mixed media, such as topographical maps, floor plans, vibrant drawings, photos, and actual materials from the installation. Some of the photographs and a large-scale model in the exhibition's display of the Wrapped Reichstag give a hint of what it might have been like to be there. But these initial works consist mostly of eye candy for curious viewers.
Christo and Jeanne-Claude are not conceptual artists; they aim to materialize each idea on paper and in scale-model form and then give us the chance to see familiar objects in a completely novel way: as works of art. The duo is pushing for a new project called Over the River -- fabric panels draped above the waters of the Arkansas River in Colorado. According to their Website (www.christojeanneclaude.net), which contains drawings of the proposed project, progress is slow: "Specific dates are not yet possible. The permits for the project have not been awarded. This process can take many, many years. The Gates took 26 years for permits and permissions."
Go see the Bass show, but keep an eye out for Over the River. It just might be worth a summertime road trip.
Compared to Christo and Jeanne-Claude's mammoth projects, Joe Fig's miniature constructions of artists' studios are quite intimate. His exhibit "The Artist's Studio" encourages voyeurism as viewers are invited to peek inside the cloistered areas where artists struggle with creativity in isolation, a kind of sacred atelier immune to the outside art world.
Fig still manages to respect his real-life subjects by crafting delicate and tremendously detailed compositions that don't necessarily infringe on the artists' privacy. Rather they celebrate their talent and the setting in which they create most of their work. He isn't making these pieces for the sake of gratuitously revealing the personal quarters of esteemed contemporary artists. Instead these works can be seen as homages to the individual artists. At the same time, though, the tiny studios are intriguing aesthetic structures that can give viewers an idea of how well-known artists organize their work areas.

Hint of Tint is great! by Brooke - 05/11/2011
I had a great experience today! I chose Hint of Tint based on the price and reviews here, especially the offer to help the unhappy customer. Not only was it at least 30% cheaper than the other three locations I called in Ogden, he was super friendly and fast. He even offered to let my kids sit in the car while he worked. It was a beautiful day so we opted to sit on some chairs outside. You do have to mail in a card to receive the warrantee on the tinting so obviously the unhappy customer didn't follow through. The windows look great and I would definitely go back here! Thanks!
Find another shops screw up! by Integra - 05/04/2011
Hint a tint did a great job at fixing another shops screw up. He could tell exactly where they cut corners and mismatched tint brand/colors. They were able to do exactly what he said he could and it looks great.
Best tint Job, It makes my car look new by The cute one :) - 07/09/2010
I'm a new car owner and my car is not the newest. I called around to find prices and Hint of Tint was the best price around. They told me they were the longest open tint shop in davis county, so I thought I would give them a try. Well I so glad I chose them they did such an awesome job on my car and it makes my car look like new. Thanks Gary for doing such a good job on my car. I will tell all my friends about my experience with you. You are number one in my books. Thanks againThe cute one :)
response by Owner - 05/18/2010
This is in response to DBN,I don't remember you, but I would be glad to do any warranty work, you see the manufacture pays us to do warranty work, so there is no reason for A Hint of Tint not to do the work, unless you do not have the paper work of us to do the warranty work. I'm so sorry you feel the way you do. I am willing to fix the problem if you are interested. Remember we are always here for you. thank you for bringing this to our attention.
WORST SERVICE! by DBN - 02/20/2010
Do not go here!! They will not honor a warranty! The owner, Gary, who does the work is completely unprofessional and unreasonable. Go somewhere that will honor their work and treat customers with decency. I'd give ZERO stars if I could but it won't let me so I'll settle for 1
great service by KL - 07/15/2009
Gary did a great job installing tint in our house. There were some "challenges" with the tint and he had to re-do some windows in a different tint but he handled everything professionally. I feel like he took very good care of us and made sure everything was taken care of properly. I would highly recommend Hint of Tint. Plus, it doesn't hurt that they were the best priced of the three bids I received.

This upcoming weekend(February 15th) my husband and I are traveling along the coast. from San Fran to Las Angeles. It is only going to be a quick 2 1/2 day trip. Neither one of us have ever been, thus we want to ONLY stop and see the "must go to " places during our drive. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions (keeping in mind that we will be limited as to how many times we stop ....considering the time restraints). We are both huge fans of scenic views. Additionally, any recommendations as to what quaint beautiful hotel(midway between San Fran & Las Angeles) we should stay at?? Any suggestion or recommendation on great restaurants along the coast would be appreciated as well?
Thank you in advance to anyone that takes the time to respond
(Ontario, Canada)
Please Help??Traveling from San Fran to Las Angeles

There are a ton of posts in here under California that talk about the trip down the coast.
I would probably stay a night in Monterrey/Carmel - visiting the Acuarium and also Pt. Lobos reserve if you like ocean type stuff - or stay the night somewhere in Big Sur - and enjoy that scenic wonderland. Always stop for a cup of coffee and the view of the deep blue sea at Nepenthene. http://www.nepenthebigsur.com/
Next night - wide open - maybe Moonstone Beach at Cambria - and visit nearby Hearst Castle if that sounds interesting to you. http://www.hearstcastle.org/ -

Check out the Pfeiffer parks along Big Sur - and here are some more guides to that area - which is the most scenic part of the drive. http://www.myscenicdrives.com/drives/california/big-sur-coast and http://gocalifornia.about.com/cs/bigsur/a/bigsur.htm and http://gocalifornia.about.com/cs/bigsur/a/bigsur.htm

This is a U.S. "long weekend" due to President's Day on Monday, a holiday. As such, there will be more people on the road and more hotels booked. Further, the weather is going to be good (i.e. not cold and rainy!) which will only add to the "let's get out of town" California residential vibe.
In Monterey, there will be the annual State Bar Criminal Defense Death Penalty conference, which means every hotel and motel between Monterey and Carmel will be booked solid. And people like me will be heading down at least one of those days to Big Sur for a little lunch and view from Nepenthe. Point Lobos will be PACKED, so if you want to go there, get there EARLY.
If it were me, I'd go from SF with a stop in Santa Cruz -- along the coastline with a stop at the Natural Bridges state beach; then proceed down West Cliff Drive and then back to HWY 1; stop in Monterey, Carmel, then proceed on to Big Sur. Stay the night there if you can get a room at Big Sur Lodge.
Then continue down towards Cambria, if you feel like going to Hearst Castle, or continue on to Santa Barbara and stop. You can either stay the night in Santa Barbara or continue down to Los Angeles.
BTW, it's LOS, not LAS. -

Just a couple of additional notes to Surfergirl's suggestions:
At Natural Bridges State Park in Santa Cruz, but also in Pacific Grove (slightly easier and faster access) the migratory Monarch butterflies are in great abundance, a not to be missed spectacle. In the morning or late afternoon they clump in the tree branches - www.flickr.com/photos/58865367@N06/8413177538 and www.flickr.com/photos/58865367@N06/8413177420 - and at other times they're flying around and showing off for each other - www.flickr.com/photos/58865367@N06/8417575742
Speaking of showing off (but not much fluttering) this is also the peak time for the elephant seals at Piedras Blancas, a mile or so north of the Hearst Castle visitor's center at San Simeon. There's a big parking area and long fenced paths overlooking the breeding/birthing beaches, with several thousand big animals barking and bleating and battling just feet away - quite the show. www.flickr.com/photos/58865367@N06/8444694219 and www.flickr.com/photos/58865367@N06/8398323255 and www.flickr.com/photos/58865367@N06/8399408100 . There are more butterfly colonies at the south end of Pismo Beach and also near Santa Barbara.
If you haven't visited Hearst Castle it's a very interesting excursion, and the landscape is extraordinarily beautiful in winter green.
