The Coasters are an American rhythm and blues/rock and roll vocal group that had a string of hits in the late 1950s. Beginning with "Searchin'" and "Young Blood," their most memorable songs were written by the songwriting and producing team of Leiber and Stoller.[1] Although the Coasters originated outside of mainstream doo wop, their records were so frequently imitated that they became an important part of the doo wop legacy through the 1960s.
The Coasters' were formed in October 1955 as a spin-off of the Robins, a Los Angeles-based rhythm and blues group that included Carl Gardner and Bobby Nunn. The original Coasters were Carl Gardner, Billy Guy, Bobby Nunn, Leon Hughes (who was replaced by Young Jessie on a couple of their early Los Angeles recordings), and guitarist Adolph Jacobs. Jacobs left the group in 1959.[2]
The songwriting team Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller had started Spark Records, and in 1955 produced "Smokey Joe's Cafe" for the Robins[1] (their 5th single with Leiber-Stoller). The record was popular enough for Atlantic Records to offer Leiber and Stoller an independent production contract to produce the Robins for the Atlantic label. Only two of the Robins—Gardner and Nunn—were willing to make the move to Atlantic, recording their first songs in the same studio as the Robins had done (Master Recorders). In late 1957, the group moved to New York and replaced Nunn and Hughes with Cornell Gunter and Will "Dub" Jones. The new quartet was from then on stationed in New York (although all had Los Angeles roots).
The Coasters' association with Leiber and Stoller was an immediate success. Together they created a string of good-humored "storytelling" hits that are some of the most entertaining from the original era of rock and roll.[1] According to Leiber and Stoller, getting the humor to come through on the records often required more recording "takes" than for a typical musical number.[1]
Their first single, "Down in Mexico," was an R&B hit in 1956 and appears (in a re-recording from 1970—still with Gardner singing the lead) on the soundtrack of Quentin Tarantino's Death Proof. The following year, the Coasters crossed over to the national charts in a big way with the double-sided "Young Blood"/"Searchin'." "Searchin'" was the group's first U.S. Top 10 hit, and topped the R&B charts for 13 weeks, becoming the biggest R&B single of 1957 (all these were recorded in Los Angeles).
"Yakety Yak" (recorded in New York), featuring King Curtis on tenor saxophone, included the famous lineup of Gardner, Guy, Jones, and Gunter, became the act's only national #1 single, and also topped the R&B chart. The next single, "Charlie Brown," reached #2 on both charts. This was followed by "Along Came Jones," "Poison Ivy" (#1 for a month on the R&B chart), and "Little Egypt (Ying-Yang)."
Changing popular tastes and a couple of line-up changes contributed to a lack of hits in the 1960s. During this time, Billy Guy was also working on solo projects, so New York singer Vernon Harrell was brought in to replace him for stage performances. Later members included Earl "Speedo" Carroll (lead of the Cadillacs), Ronnie Bright (the bass voice on Johnny Cymbal's "Mr. Bass Man"), Jimmy Norman, and guitarist Thomas "Curly" Palmer. The Coasters signed with Columbia Records's Date label in 1966, reuniting with Leiber and Stoller (who had parted ways with Atlantic Records in 1963), but were never able to regain their former fame. In 1971, the Coasters had a minor chart entry with "Love Potion No. 9" a song that Leiber and Stoller had written for the Coasters but instead gave to the Clovers in 1959. In Britain, a 1994 Volkswagen TV advertisement used the group's "Sorry But I'm Gonna Have To Pass" track, which led to a minor chart placement in that country.
In 1987, the Coasters became the first group inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, crediting the members of the 1958-era configuration. The Coasters also joined the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 1999.
Several groups used the name in the 1970s, touring throughout the country, though Carl Gardner, one of the original Coasters, held the legal rights to it. Gardner continued to tour with the Coasters and made many attempts to stop bogus groups with no connection to the original group using the name. In late 2005, Carl's son Carl Gardner, Jr. took over as lead with the group when his father retired. The Coasters' lineup then consisted of Carl Gardner, Jr., J.W. Lance, Primo Candelara and Eddie Whitfield. Carl, Jr. has since split with this group and has started his own group with Curly Palmer. [3]
As of 2012, Leon Hughes and Adolph Jacobs are the only surviving members of the original Coasters. Some of the former members suffered tragic ends. Saxophonist and "fifth Coaster" King Curtis was stabbed to death by two junkies outside his apartment building in 1971. Cornelius Gunter was shot to death while sitting in a Las Vegas parking garage in 1990. Nate Wilson, a member of one of Gunter's offshoot Coasters groups, was shot and his body dismembered in 1980.[4] Former manager Patrick Cavanaugh was convicted of the murder after Wilson threatened to notify authorities of Cavanaugh's intent to buy furniture with stolen checks. While Cavanaugh was convicted of the murder and given the death sentence in 1984, his sentence was commuted to life in prison. He died in 2006, in Nevada's Ely State Prison. Cavanaugh was 60.[5]
The Coasters continue to appear regularly on "oldies" shows and PBS specials as old favorites and are available for bookings.[4]
The Hits list below is from Joel Whitburn's Top R&B Singles and from the Pop positions published in Bill Millar's book "The Coasters" (1975).
In late June, 2007 Carl Gardner's autobiography "Carl Gardner: Yakety Yak I Fought Back - My Life with The Coasters" was published at AuthorHouse. On August 28, 2007 the Coasters' Leiber-Stoller produced recordings for Date/King 1966-1972 was released on a Varèse Vintage (Varèse Sarabande) CD, titled "Down Home" (302 066 844 2) - and on December 12, 2007 the complete Atco recordings 1954-1966 were released on a Rhino Handmade 4CD-set, titled "There's A Riot Goin' On: The Coasters on Atco" (Rhino RHM2 7740).
The Coasters' repertoire had a significant impact on '60s and '70s rock artists. For example, Leon Russell performed "Young Blood" at the Concert for Bangladesh in 1971, imitating the group's arrangement of the song with four different solo voices, and Bad Company's version of the song reached #20 on 22–29 May 1976 on the Hot 100; Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen recorded The Robins' "Riot in Cell Block #9," while The Beach Boys recorded a 1971 version with revised lyrics by that group's vocalist Mike Love, titled "Student Demonstration Time." The novelty singer Ray Stevens reached #27 on the U.S. pop singles chart with a 1969 remake of "Along Came Jones." Elvis Presley included "Little Egypt (Ying-Yang)" in the soundtrack for his 1964 film Roustabout. The first two British hits of The Hollies were "(Ain't That) Just Like Me" and "Searchin'." The Monkees reached #10 on the Cashbox singles chart with "D. W. Washburn." (The Coasters recorded it first, but when Date declined to release it, Leiber and Stoller sent it as a demo to the Monkees. After the Monkees' record charted, the Coasters' original was issued.) Several Coasters songs were part of The Beatles' repertoire before the British rock group began its recording career; George Harrison is among the singers on the above-mentioned Leon Russell live recording. The Grateful Dead similarly performed several Coasters songs in their early days. This was influenced by a weekend in 1965 in which the group (while still called The Warlocks) served as pickup band for the Coasters at a lounge in Belmont, CA. When the Beach Boys and the Grateful Dead united on stage to perform a brief set at New York City's Filmore East, they performed "Searchin'" and "Riot in Cell Block No. 9." Numerous groups have recorded "Poison Ivy."
The Coasters' hits also comprised a major portion of the song score for the 1994 musical revue Smokey Joe's Cafe, a retrospective of Leiber & Stoller songs that received one Grammy Award and seven Tony Award nominations following its 1995 Broadway debut. Their song "Baby, That Is Rock and Roll" has served as the main title for a biography/songbook of Leiber & Stoller songs and a Bravo television documentary on the songwriters.
In addition, Coasters songs and the Coasters themselves have been referred to by later popular musicians. Frank Zappa referenced the group in the lyrics of the song "Status Back Baby" on his second album, Absolutely Free. Sly Stone titled a No. 1 hit 1971 album by his group Sly & the Family Stone after the tag line from "Riot in Cell Block No. 9": There's a Riot Goin' On. The folksinger David Bromberg quoted from "Little Egypt (Ying-Yang)" in his 1972 song "Sharon". Paolo Nutini regularly covers "Down in Mexico" during live performances.

A practical framework for change - head, hearts, hands & feet
Is there a compelling reason for change - merely a good reason for change is not enough? The term "burning platform" comes to mind. By not changing you must be exposing your enterprise to a major threat or walking away from a major opportunity.
There must be a sound economic reason for change which can be succinctly and clearly articulated and accepted by the leaders of the enterprise.
Heart is all about the "appetite" for change in the key leaders. I have seen so many change initiatives with great HEAD flounder because the key leaders did not want it enough or thought that a compelling reason was somehow enough. Unlike HEAD, HEART is an on-going challenge - you need to establish it in the first place and then keep it alive until the change is truly bedded in.
So how you establish it? The first step is through frank 1:1 conversations to establish the individual appetite of the key leaders. This needs to be done sensitively as the objective is not to sign them all up but to find out where they really are!
3. HANDS and FEET
If you have the HEAD and the HEART then you need the How and the Who This is where the HANDS and FEET come in. HANDs concerns how the change will be brought about. In a nutshell HANDS is about the plan for the new processes, systems, incentives, practices, success measures and required behavior changes. Does the plan or proposed plan cover all the bases? Is the work already done an adequate basis for change or will it need reworked or binned?
Finally the FEET, or HEELS if you simply must have alliteration, represents the feet on the ground to project manage the change. I have never yet seen a change successfully delivered without a competent project manager working to a public and serious deadline the achievement of which is linked to their personal performance review/remuneration and with adequate personal time and access to additional resources as required to make it happen.
So to ensure you don't forget the whole point of change management as you wade through the detail just remember your own body and your 4 vital organs/limbs - HEAD, HEART, HANDS and FEET!

One has to wonderSubmitted by SurfCityTom on Fri, 12/07/2012 - 7:31am.
if this is the tip of the ice burg? The Professor makes $82,000 annually. The daily rate at Sanderling is $580 plus tax. His other visit had an average daily rate of $480. He knew the rules for record keeping required; yet failed to maintain them. Meanwhile the state expended 488 manhours and $35,000 performing the audit. So was this arrogance, ignorance, or entitlement? If he's not losing his job, he should be requied to cover the expenses incurred by the State Auditor's office. Will there be further cases unearthed? »

Very good
Good view and locations
The breakfast could be improved. It is very simple and poor.
Terrible breakfast. Tasteless bread, no real coffee, items not replaced when they ran out.
Clean comfortable and with walking distance of most everything
Front desk personel not knowing what events or restaurants were close
Good location,clean,comfortable
The parking with $ 26 per day
Room size
I had asked the Front Desk for a wake-up call, but they forgot! The breakfast served was very ordinary
Everything else
The credit card swiper to pay for a cold drink
The bed
Had a little problem with the toilet handle missing up.
Our stay was great with the exception of the valet service which I understand is not operated by the La Quinta Hotel but does reflect negatively upon them. A friend we were traveling with gave her car to the valet and they locked her keys inside. She then had to call roadside assistance and wait for them to come and unlock her vehicle. On the day we were leaving back home, it took them 1 hour and 16 minutes from the time we gave them our ticket to the time our truck was finally brought to the lobby. Needless to say this was very frustrating as we were all tired form running in the Rock N Roll New Orleans Half and Full Marathons and just wanted to get on the road to get home. I would hire a new valet service or try and fix the problems the current service is experiencing.
This hotel was close to the the attractions we wanted to see. It was also close to the buses. The ladies at the desk were friendly and were able to answer all of our questions. This hotel and parking is a good value for the money.
Breakfast should have better selection of food
Pet Friendly Location Rooms Courteous Staff
Confusion with Parking. The folks outside are on a different page then the folks inside.
Bathroom not as clean as it could have been. Shower leaked onto wall and floor. Lots of middle of the night yelling and inappropriate noise and activity in the hall outside our door. It was frightening. I would not go back to this property.
location and staff are great!
2 minutes and the socks were black! the carpet is really dirty!
I just got home in California looked at bank statement the hotel charged the room to my card...however we paid cash so now I have to call and chase down a refund!
The staff were helpful and calm among Sugar Bowl chaos.
Needed a safe in the room.
- the location - front desk staffs are friendly, all ready to help... - I do appreciate the receptionist on the Jan. 1st she was helpful
- the chamber maid doesn't do right in tidying the room (found on the rear closet some wrappers of sweets/plastic), also under the bed; nor clean the carpet (vacuum), empty the bin in the room, forget to put another set of towels... - on January 1st, breakfast was not on time, it was suppose to be open at 6:00am (we checkout at 6:00am to be at the airport around 7:00am), taken no breakfast, I did asked the receptionist to give us 6 apples eventually she gave...
I loved the location of this hotel. It's only a block or two away from Canal St. I loved the free Wi-Fi, the valet parking, and the convenience of being near the french quarter without having to hear all the noise or people. I also liked the price. Because we went in the off season it was almost half of the normal rate. The rooms were exceptionally clean, and the staff was very helpful with setting up tours and answering any questions I had.
I didn't like the cost of the valet service $30 a day is ridiculous. The breakfast that's included is lackluster. There is no meat offered at all only cereal, muffins, toast, waffles, yogurt, milk, and bagels and the condiments that go with them.
That's it was walking length to bourbon
It was small
The staff was so pleasant
Rooms were a little small fir the price I paid
Location was good. Close enough to walk to the places we wanted to go.
The parking at the hotel was not great....we ended up parking at a 24 hour lot at the corner up the street.

US 4942997 A Abstract A solder well configured to abut and enclose the though hole pattern on a printed circuit board to allow the reflow of solder and removal of a multipin electronic component without affecting the integrity of adjacent solder joints of components disposed within or adjacent the through hole pattern.
Claims(5) 1. A solder well for use in the desoldering and removing of a multi-terminal electrical component from its soldered connection to a printed circuit board, comprising:
a closed outer wall having inner and outer surfaces and configured to have an upper edge that lies in a generally horizontal plane; a closed inner wall having a first surface that opposes said inner surface of said closed outer wall to define a molten solder receiving channel and configured to have an upper surface that lies in a plane generally coplanar with the upper edge of said closed outer wall; said solder receiving channel is defined by said closed outer and inner walls to correspond to the pattern of the multipin terminal connections to the printed circuit board; and said closed inner wall also has a second closed surface that defines a cup to receive excess solder from said channel and a means for draining the cup. 2. A solder well as in claim 1, further including a base portion of said channel connecting said closed outer and inner walls and an aperture in said base for receiving said molten solder from an external source.
3. A solder well for providing molten solder to a defined level area that corresponds to the through-hole pattern on a printed circuit board to which a multipin component is soldered, comprising:
means defining a channel for receiving molten solder to said defined level area; means defining an inner cup for receiving solder overflow from said channel means and removing said solder overflow from said defined level area; wherein said channel means surrounds said inner cup means. 4. A solder well as in claim 3, wherein said inner cup means contains a drain to prevent said solder overflow from accumulating therein.
5. A solder well as in claim 3, wherein said channel means is defined by a pair of closed walls opposing each other across a solder receiving space having upper edges that lie in a common, generally horizontal plane for contact with said printed circuit so as to confine the contact of said molten solder within said channel to the area defined by the edges of said walls.
Description The present invention is directed to the field of electronic component soldering and more specifically to the area of reflowing solder to effect removal and repair of multipin components. The use of surface mounted devices (SMD's) on printed circuit boards alongside microcomputers having several parallel leads soldered into through-holes of the printed circuit board have presented some difficulties in the repair or removal of such microcomputer components from the circuit boards. Generally, SMD's are leadless resistors or capacitors that have end terminals which are directly soldered to either surface of a printed circuit board and, in many cases, are located adjacent through-holes into which a multileaded component is soldered. Accordingly, the reflow of an entire area of a printed circuit board in order to desolder the multileaded component would also cause the desoldering and release of surface mounted devices located on that surface. In such a case, when a new multileaded component is installed to replace a defective component, the SMD's that were removed during the reflow process need to be replaced and thus add to the cost of the repair. Several prior art patents relate to the problem of removing integrated circuits from printed circuit boards but do not attempt to overcome the problem noted above. For instance, U.S. Pat. No. 4,270,260 utilizes infrared lamps to bring the temperature of a printed circuit board up high enough to reflow the solder in the through-holes and allow removal of the integrated circuit from the opposite side of the board. U.S. Pat. No. 4,659,002 describes a device in which a masked area is defined to surround the solder leads of an electrical component and solder is pumped into the masked area in order to reflow the solder at the concentrated area and allow removal of the component. U.S. Pat. No. 3,557,430 also teaches the use of a masking device which allows the concentration of solder to provide reflow of soldered leads of an integrated circuit mounted on a printed circuit board and the removal thereof. In each case, the prior art does not appear to be concerned with the presence of SMD's or other devices within the area outlined by the integrated circuit through-hole pattern and therefore do not suggest a solution to the problem. The solder flow well of the present invention comprises a closed outer wall having inner and outer surfaces that are configured to have an upper edge that lies in a generally horizontal plane, The well further includes a closed inner wall having a first surface that opposes the inner surface of the closed outer wall and defines a molten solder receiving channel therebetween, that is configured to have an upper surface that lies in a plane generally coplanar with the upper edge of the closed outer wall. The inner and outer walls define a channel that corresponds to the through-hole pattern on the printed circuit board into which all of the pins of the miltipined integrated circuit are soldered. The channel allows the entrance of molten solder to be concentrated only in the area of the printed circuit board where the leads of the multipin components are soldered. The heat from the molten solder in the channel is thereby concentrated to reflow the solder within that defined area so as to not disturb the solder connections of other components (especially SMD's) that are located on the same side of the printed circuit board as the solder reflow. FIG. 1 is a top view of a multipin electronic component, such as an integrated circuit, mounted on the upper surface of a printed circuit board. FIG. 2 is a plan view of the bottom surface of the printed circuit board corresponding to the area shown in FIG. 1 illustrating the through-hole pattern into which the lead wires of the multipin component are soldered. FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the solder well invention described herein. FIG. 4 is a top view of the solder well invention shown in FIG. 3. FIG. 5 is an elevational cross-sectional view of the solder well invention shown in FIG. 3 as it is applied to the printed circuit board shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. In FIG. 1, a printed circuit board 10 of a generally conventional insulative substrate is shown without details of the actual circuit pattern which is conventionally placed on such printed circuit boards. The top view of the printed circuit board 10, shown in FIG. 1, also depicts the location of integrated circuits 2, 4 and 200. The integrated circuit 200 is typical of a 68 pin microprocessor unit which is utilized in several products of assignee. (The actual content and circuitry employed in the multipin component 200 is not of concern in this invention and is not described in any detail.) However as can be seen in FIGS. 1 and 2, the 68 pins 201-268 are soldered in through-holes 101-168 in a pattern which corresponds to the location of the lead wires extending from the multipin component 200. In the case shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the pattern forms a rectangle. In FIG. 2, components 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28 and 30 depict SMD's which are mounted on the under side 100 of the printed circuit board 10 and are located strategically within the printed circuit (not shown) so as to have a functional effect on the circuit and also allow for high density packaging of components on a board. As described in the background section above, the removal of defective multipin components 200 from the printed circuit board by utilizing conventional methods would result in the desoldering of the SMD's 12-30, due to their location within the area defined by the multipin components through-hole pattern. The solder well 300, of the present invention shown in FIGS. 3, 4 and 5, is a dual walled device in which an outer wall 305 having an inner surface 306 is disposed opposite an inner wall 308 having an outer surface 307. The surfaces 306 and 307 of the outer and inner walls 305 and 308 are separated to define a channel having a width and length which corresponds to the through-hole pattern into which the multipin component is soldered on the printed circuit board 10. The outer and inner walls 305 and 308 respectively contain edges 302 and 304, which further define coplanar surfaces that mate with the printed circuit board and confine the channel to that through-hole pattern. The solder well contains inlets 310, 312, 314 and 316 within the channel to allow the inflow of molten solder into the channel. A connector shroud 320 extends below the solder well 300 so as to allow the solder well to be press fitted into the aperture of a solder bath retainer 400. An inner cup area, defined by the inner wall 308 and a base 323, contains drains 322, 324, 326 and 328 that allow excess solder that may overflow the channel to escape away from the printed circuit board and thereby avoid coming in contact with any area of the printed circuit board that is outside the defined channel. In operation, the printed circuit board 10 is placed over the solder well 300 so that the through-hole pattern of the multipin component 200 is abutted and continuously enclosed by the channel defined by the parallel edge surfaces 302 and 304. The molten solder 30 is then pumped up from underneath the shroud 320 so that it enters the channel through inlets 310, 312, 314 and 316 to a level wherein the convex meniscus 32 of the solder 30 contacts the solder and lead wires of the multipin component 200. Within a short period, the solder joints in contact with the molten solder 30 are cused to be reflowed. At such time, the multipin component 200 may be easily removed and a new one placed therein as a substitute. The printed circuit board 10 is subsequently removed and the solder may be pumped down or remain, if continually heated, so that the next device for repair may be located over the solder well. It will be apparent that many modifications and variations may be implemented without departing from the scope of the novel concept of this invention. Therefore, it is intended by the appended claims to cover all such modifications and variations which fall within the true spirit and scope of the invention. Patent Citations

How do I remove the Engine cover? What are the precautions?
Question type: General
After removing the oil fill cap and disconnecting all hose connections, do I simply lift up on the front of the cover. Is it snapped in place? I am afraid to pull up too hard with out knowing it is free to "pop off". Please advise. I am a 82 year old and have never owned a car that I could not at least see the plugs.
