Randall Jamail, the founder of Houston's Justice Records, jiggles and jumps, takes a phone call, props a running shoe on a mixing board in Seattle's vaunted Bad Animals Studio. He wears dark gray shades and his haircut is half an inch long. He hangs up, bolts down the hall to refill his cup with the studio's "heroin coffee," as he terms it, then hurries back and plays frenetic air guitar beside his hip, explaining the song's arrangement to a musician. The 39-year-old Jamail is the son of famed Houston trial attorney Joe Jamail, a longtime chum of Willie Nelson's. The younger Jamail grew up around Willie's gigs and Fourth of July picnics; after college he graduated from law school, planning to join his dad's firm, but that's a hard act to follow. He launched Justice Records as a jazz label in 1989 and had fifteen Top Ten hits in three years. But the jazz share of the record market is minute, so Jamail branched out, signing blues singers, then county and western artists, followed by punk rock acts and recording a concert by London's Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and an oration by Pope John Paul II—part of the Vatican's first official acknowledgment of the Holocaust. Jamail also landed two of Willie's albums, Moonlight Becomes You and Just One Love, when changing country and western fashion left the legendary Texas singer without a recording contract on a major label. Now it's July 1995, and Jamail is engrossed in his latest long jump: Turn the nation's top punk and grunge rockers loose with Willie Nelson material. "Outlaw to outlaw," he frames the concept. The new record, scheduled for release later this month, is called Twisted Willie.
The lobby walls at Bad Animals Studio are lined with framed platinum records of Nirvana and Pearl Jam—Texas possesses no studio remotely like it—and one spin across the Seattle radio dial offers more evidence that this lush, fashionable, traffic-crushed city has become one of the country's true music capitals. Yet grunge rock, the nihilistic evolution of punk and heavy metal that spawned the Seattle scene, began as the antithesis of commerciality. Nirvana and other groups put out albums on independent labels that, with no help from MTV videos or radio push of singles, spread word-of-mouth, took a large, youthful audience by storm, and made the major labels' producers come to them, hats and contracts in hand. What's that go to do with Willie Nelson? Precedent. "It's like twenty years ago," Jamail says, "when Willie was all but run out of Nashville. He came back to Texas, set up in Austin, and said, 'I'm going to do what I do. And if the big record companies don't get it, screw 'em.' That's exactly how it happened in Seattle."
Willie's career has looped, circled, and doubled back over so many times it's akin to a trick roper's routine. When the Nashville-based country music industry shunned him as a performer in the early seventies, he built his audience with tireless road appearances that filled rowdy halls with bankers, hippies, bikers. Their record-buying power changed the industry—suddenly it was all right for traditional country to rock and roll—and made Willie a superstar, along with his rough-edged Texas soul mate Waylon Jennings. But since then, the style they inspired has been burnished and slickened into the "hot country" sound that today drives the Nashville industry—hokum pop with a soft-rock dance beat. Willie and Waylon are old guys, they don't prance around in tight jeans, and in the cities, country and western deejays just won't play their records. And their 1985 tour and record with Johnny Cash and Kris Kristofferson as the Highwaymen did little to bolster their standing in the C&W market. To Nashville executives, they seem to be mere nostalgists.
But not to a younger generation of alternative-rock musicians. Jamail's proposal of a radical interpretation of Willie's songwriting, with contributions from each of the Highwaymen, has set off a stampede of big-name rock performers to get on board: members of Seattle grunge heavyweights Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, and Screaming Trees. Lollapalooza tour headliners L7, an all-woman band from Los Angeles; the seminal Hollywood punk rockers X. Moving around the Bad Animals control room is Danny Bland, a dark-haired man in jeans, lizard-skin boots, and a cap that says "Willie." Bland, who helped Jamail line up much of the rock talent, is the manager of the Supersuckers, a red-hot band that moved to Seattle from Arizona a few years ago. Bland grew up in Phoenix, listening to his dad's outlaw country records. "For four years my band's been opening their shows with 'Whiskey River,' he says. "I told Randall, 'Are you aware how much these musicians idolize Willie? I bet a lot of them would love to cover him on a record.' So Randall got me to start asking around. I'd say, 'The guy has produced Willie and the pope. That good enough?'" Bland chuckles. "This is going to be the first record I've ever been involved in that my dad will listen to."
Jamail hopes to tap into the vast audience represented by those platinum records on the studio wall in downtown Seattle, but he wants Willie's fans to buy the album too. For this session Jamail has recruited a Seattle all-star band to play behind Johnny Cash. "I said, 'Johnny, I'm doing something kind of perverse with Willie Nelson songs.' He said, 'Great, I'm in.'" But Cash won't show up for several more hours, and he doesn't know exactly what he's in for. Jamail, who is a skilled guitarist, has been sitting in with the players, trying to impart his vision of a track from Willie's 1975 concept album, The Red Headed Stranger. The ominous lyrics of Willie's "The Time of the Preacher" seem tailor-made for the sonorous drawl of the Man in Black: "It was the time of the preacher/In the year of '01/Now the lesson is over/And the killing's begun." Over the years Cash has accidentally set

Hospitals prepare for MERS virus
UPDATED 7:39 AM CDT May 20, 2014Although there are no confirmed MERS cases in Iowa, health officials and hospitals are preparing in case it does happen.
Video TranscriptRight now at 10! New information on the spread of MERS here in the U-S. The man from Saudi Arabia, who was one of three patients, was released from a Florida Hospital. The other two cases of MERS in the U-S are in the midwest. One man in Indiana and other man in Illinois. Although there are NO MERS cases here in Iowa, hospitals and health officials say they are prepared if it happens. KCCI's Laura Nichols joins us LIVE from Mercy Hospital to explain. This third MERS case in the U.S. Is the first case where it appears to be spread from person to person. And that has hospitals on alert, and ready to go. IT'S NOT SOMETHING TOTALLY NEW. WE IN PUBLIC HEALTH HAVE KNOWN ABOUT IT FOR QUITE A WHILE. There are no MERS virus cases in Iowa. But the state's Medical Director and epidemiologist, Dr. Patricia Quinlisk, says that doesn't mean it won't ever happen -- and she wants area hospitals and clinics to be up to speed. WE PUT ALL THE THINGS IN PLACE JUST IN CASE IT COMES HERE. Warning signs are in airports, and flyers like this from the CDC are circulating around clinic waiting rooms. Quinlisk says hospitals are also ready to go with "respiratory isolation rooms" to minimize the spread of the potentially deadly virus. THEY'D BE IN A SPECIAL ROOM WITH SPECIAL AIR FLOW AND EVERYBODY WHO WALKS INTO THAT ROOM IS WEARING A MASK. Symptoms normally include fever and a cough ... Maybe even pneumonia. If you have these symptoms and have traveled to the Middle East recently...or been around someone who has -- Quinlisk says you need to call a doctor to set up a private test -- instead of going to a crowed hospital waiting room. WE WANT TO DO THE TESTS RIGHT HERE. RIGHT NOW THAT WE CAN DO IT QUICKLY AND WE KNOW RIGHT AWAY WHETHER THAT PERSON IS CARRYING THAT VIRUS. Health experts say MERS won't necessarily spread from a handshake -- but it will from coughing in someone's face. Even so, Dr. Quinlisk says Iowans should NOT be panicked -- even if they're planning to go overseas to the middle east. THE CHANCES OF YOU PICKING IT UP BY BEING A TOURIST IS ALMOST ZERO. Dr. Quinlisk says that the people who got MERS so far were health care workers -- working in hospitals in the middle east where they were exposed to patients with MERS. So if you're going overseas for a business trip or vacation -- don't be alarmed but take precautions like washing your hands. And of course if they have any type of symptoms call your doctor and schedule a private test right away.

Raikkonen drawing motivation from '07 season
© Lotus F1 Team, LAT Photographic
19 October 2012 by TF1T Staff | M | Tweet
Kimi Raikkonen is drawing on his experiences from 2007 when he won his championship against all odds, despite going into the final race of the season in third place behind Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso.
The Finn remains motivated and says he will continue to push for the title from third place, some 48 points behind leader Sebastian Vettel, because "anything is possible."
"We have to keep working hard and keep a high level of motivation," said the Lotus driver. "Personally I feel my own motivation is very high - like it has always been. I'm keen to get the best results I can.
"In 2007 the championship wasn't decided until the last race so anything is possible. Let's see what happens," he added.
Raikkonen isn't setting any targets for the final four races.
"There's no point setting targets; we just need to keep working as hard as we can to score strong points and see what happens from there. In terms of the championship, the gap to Sebastian is quite big now so it will be very difficult to catch him, but we'll keep pushing all the way."

The Wedding Night
At 85 years of age, Wally married Lou Anne, a lovely 25 year old.
Since her new husband is so old, Lou Anne decides that after their wedding she and Wally should have separate bedrooms, because she is concerned that her new but aged husband may over-exert himself if they spend the entire night together.
After the wedding festivities Lou Anne prepares herself for bed and the expected "knock" on the door. Sure enough, the knock comes, the door opens and there is Wally, her 85 year old groom, ready for action.
They unite as one. All goes well, Wally takes leave of his bride, and she prepares to go to sleep.
After a few minutes, Lou Anne hears another knock on her bedroom door, and it's Wally. Again he is ready for more "action."
Somewhat surprised, Lou Anne consents for more coupling. When the newlyweds are done, Wally kisses his bride, bids her a fond goodnight and leaves.
She is set to go to sleep again, but, aha, you guessed it - Wally is back again, rapping on the door, and is as fresh as a 25-year-old, ready for more "action." And, once again they enjoy each other.
But as Wally gets set to leave again, his young bride says to him, "I am thoroughly impressed that at your age you can perform so well and so often. You are truly a great lover, Wally."
Wally, somewhat embarrassed, turns to Lou Anne and says: "You mean I was here already?"
The moral of the story: Senior moments have their advantages.

The UNC-Wilmington men's soccer team earned the CAA's automatic bid to the NCAA tournament Sunday with a 1-0 win over Northeastern University. Monday night, the team gathered at Buffalo Wild Wings to watch the tournament selection show.
The team's first round opponent will be the Charlotte 49ers. The game will be in Charlotte Thursday night. The winner will advance to face Wake Forest.
"My immediate reaction, seeing my alma mater when it came up on the draw, was a bit surprised. I actually thought it might happen. For our players I'm really excited because we knew any team right now would be a difficult opponent and Charlotte certainly will be," said coach Aidan Heaney.
Thursday's game for UNCW will be their first-ever appearance in the men's NCAA tournament.

Re: Alexandra Dulgheru!!!
I wouldn't panic in that regard.
Just look at Petkovic where people were the same when she flopped early in the RG Qualifying. She entered Nurnberg as a WC, went on to the finals and her ranking was back on track.
If she can get her game going, the ranking will do as well. And by looking at that pathetic excuse that are those clay MMs after Wimbledon, honestly, I don't see her having much doubt to not enter the Top 100 again.
We are talking about a player who entered Top 100 being ranked around 200 the week prior.

With very few exceptions, 1994 was an excellent year. The world economy finally put a lingering recession behind it, and a vigorous recovery, accompanied by low inflation, was in train. Led by an unexpected double-digit growth in world trade volumes, output expanded rapidly, with manufacturing, buoyed by export-led growth, outperforming gross domestic product (GDP) in most economies.
Manufacturing increased its production by 4.6% in 1994, a welcome recovery from two years of recession and stagnation. (See Table I and Table IV.) In the industrialized countries, which had been the worst affected, growth was 4.4%; in the less developed economies, where the slowdown had been barely perceptible, growth picked up to over 5%.
The main industrialized economies were at different phases of the economic cycle. At one extreme the U.S. was into its fourth year of a recovery that retained its vigour through 1995; at the other Japan, beset by financial difficulties and with an exchange rate pushed to new levels of uncompetitiveness, was struggling to reorient its economy away from the traditional dependency on exports. U.S. industrial production rose more than 5% in 1994 (up from 4% in 1993), while in Japan growth was 0.8%, contrasted with a decline of more than 10% in 1992-93 combined.
In between these two extremes the U.K., lagging a year behind the U.S. in recovery and helped by another strong year of North Sea oil production, attained a 5% increase in industrial production. In continental Europe, where the cycle lagged yet another year, growth was typically slower than in the U.S. and the U.K. Because they were also driven by exports, it was the devaluing economies such as Italy that enjoyed the lion's share of buoyant intra-European trade. Even the high-exchange-rate economies such as Germany, however, were boosted by a surge in investment demand, concentrated on high-tech capital goods.
The dynamic economies of Asia enjoyed another successful year. In terms of GDP, double-digit growth was achieved in China and Singapore, while South Korea, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam were not far short of the 10% mark. In industrial production, the main impetus behind the expansion, growth was as high as 20% in China. Such a pace of advance did not, however, prove sustainable. Inflationary pressures emerged in a number of economies--prices rose 24% in China and 14% in Vietnam in 1994--and monetary policy was tightened, which resulted in Chinese industrial production slowing to a growth rate of 16%.
Such rates of growth were the envy of the rest of the less industrialized world, particularly in the formerly communist countries of Eastern Europe and in those of the former Soviet Union. In Eastern Europe (see Table II), however, the corner was turned. Output rose in 1994 in all economies, with those more advanced in the reform process, notably Hungary and Poland, beginning to pick up speed. In Russia, in contrast, there was little good news. Output fell 15% in 1994 (after a 12% decline in 1993), and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development forecast that Russia would suffer another decline, of 5%, in 1995.
For Latin America 1994 was generally a good year. With the exception of Brazil, inflation fell to lower, more sustainable levels throughout the region, which underpinned stronger output. Fundamental problems, exemplified by the Mexican financial crisis, were still prevalent, however. In most economies output growth slowed in 1995, while in Mexico output fell.
On a sectoral basis the pattern of output (see Table III) in 1994 reflected the nature of the cycle. Led by exports and investment, heavy industries outperformed the lighter industries more dependent on consumer demand. Textiles and clothing and footwear missed out on the upturn, and in the industrialized economies these sectors stagnated. Across the less industrialized group, output expanded on a broad front.
In retrospect, 1994 appeared to have been the peak of the cycle in the world economy. In 1995 demand slowed, producing an inventory buildup that took its toll on manufacturing. The impetus from trade also diminished. With inflationary pressures modest in most countries, however, there was scope for policy to adjust.

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
I received this as a gift after I replaced my carpeted floors with laminate flooring and needed something that wouldn't beat my floors to death. I am loving it! So far, I can vacuum my living room, dining room, kitchen, and two hallways without running the battery down. I bought an additional battery, so if I need to use it beyond the approximately 20 minute battery life, I can switch batteries.The performance on my floors is excellent. This vacuum picks up dog and cat hair and dust bunnies like the big boys. I own a heavy duty Dyson and the Hoover cordless by far outweighs the Dyson in convenience, ease of use, and quietness. I highly recommend this for vacuuming smaller homes, especially for non-carpeted flooring. Another major selling point is that it fits in my closet for easy storage.

If conservatives don't want federalism any more, will liberals pick up the banner? Federalism I has always been a key element of American conservatism. In 1960 the founding document of Young Americans for Freedom declared that "the genius of the Constitution—the division of powers—is summed up in the clause that reserves primacy to the several states, or to the people, in those spheres not specifically delegated to the Federal government." Ronald Reagan ran for president promising to send 25 percent of federal taxes and spending back to the states. As Republicans took control of Congress in 1995, Newt Gingrich stressed that "we are committed to getting power back to the states."
Lately, though, conservatives—at last in control of both the White House and both houses of Congress—seem to have forgotten their longstanding commitment to reduce federal power and intrusiveness. Instead, they have taken to using their newfound power to impose their own ideas on the whole country.
Conservatives once opposed the creation of a federal education department. Congressional Republicans wrote: "Decisions which are now made in the local school or school district will slowly but surely be transferred to Washington... The Department of Education will end up being the Nation's super schoolboard. That is something we can all do without." But President Bush's No Child Left Behind Act makes every local school district accountable to federal bureaucrats in Washington.
The 2002 election law imposed national standards on the states in such areas as registration and provisional balloting. A 2004 law established federal standards for state-issued drivers' licenses and personal identification cards. President Bush's Project Safe Neighborhoods transfers the prosecution of gun crimes from states to the federal government. The administration is trying to persuade federal courts to block implementation of state initiatives on medical marijuana in California and assisted suicide in Oregon.
Perhaps most notoriously, President Bush and conservatives are pushing for a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage in all 50 states. They talk about runaway judges and democratic decision-making, but their amendment would forbid the people of Massachusetts, Connecticut, California, or any other state from deciding to allow same-sex marriage. Marriage law has always been a matter for the states, and it is strikingly centralist to impose one uniform marriage law on what conservatives used to call "the sovereign states."
Most recently we have the specter of the Republican Congress seeking to override six Florida court decisions in the tragic case of Terri Schiavo, intruding the federal government into yet another place it doesn't belong. Asked on Fox News about the oddity of conservatives seeking to override states' rights, Weekly Standard editor Fred Barnes responded passionately: "Please! States' rights? Look, this is a moral issue."
Which is what liberal Democrats always said, of course, as they spent 50 years eroding federalism and expanding the power of the federal government at" every turn. They had a point when it came to the civil rights laws; Southern states were violating the constitutional rights of black citizens. But that was no excuse for federalizing everything from the minimum wage to the speed limit to environmental regulations. For decades liberals scoffed at federalist arguments that the people of Wisconsin or Wyoming understood their own needs better than a distant Congress. They brought more and more power to Washington, overriding state legislatures and imposing mandates on every nook and cranny of governance.
Now those chickens have come home to roost. Republicans run Washington, and they're using the federal power that liberals built in ways that liberals never envisioned.
Some liberals are rediscovering the virtues of federalism. They dimly recall that Justice Louis Brandeis called the states "laboratories of democracy" and are seeking to pursue their own policies at the state level when they fail in Washington. The prospect of a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage has made some liberals appreciate the virtues of having 50 states, each free to make its own marriage law. Some have even come to appreciate the value of diversity: Virginia and Vermont may have different marriage laws, and that's OK. Maybe it would even be OK for Los Angeles and Louisiana to have different environmental regulations.
But most liberals can't give up their addiction to centralism. Even as they rail against federal intervention in the Schiavo case—arch-liberal Eleanor Holmes Norton, the District of Columbia's delegate in Congress, discovers for the first time in her life that "the bedrock of who we are" is the "Founders' limited vision of the federal government"—they push for stricter regulations on painkillers, a higher national minimum wage, and federal gun control laws.
No one really supports federalism these days except libertarians. And the American people, who oppose the congressional intervention in the Schiavo case by 82 percent and believe by 78 percent that the federal government has too much power.
Only one modern political party has a history of taking federalism seriously, but Republicans have decided to abandon this principle to pander to small but vocal constituencies. The nation will be poorer for it.

Clayton News Daily
By Curt Yeomans
Once a month, usually on the first Sunday, a group of approximately two dozen Clayton State University students and employees, and local residents, meet in the school's library to talk shop about family trees.
The group is Clayton State's Genealogy Club, and it has been meeting since the fall of 2008. During club meetings, speakers give presentations on genealogy-related subjects, including how to search public records; hot to record an oral history; and how to care for family photographs, said Norcross resident, Selma Blackmon, who organized the group with Clayton State University Archivist Rosemary Fischer.
"We do it to climb family trees, and dig family roots," Blackmon said. Blackmon performed three internships under Fischer's guidance in 2008, and earned a bachelor's degree in archival studies from CSU last year.
The group will offer an introductory, crash course on genealogy, for family history novices, on Sunday, from 1 p.m., to 2:30 p.m., in room L200, of the Clayton State Library, which is on the university's main campus in Morrow.
It's a "just the basics"-type workshop in which participants will learn genealogy-related information, such as how to fill out a pedigree chart, and a family group sheet, Blackmon said.
"We're holding this workshop for beginners who want to research their family trees, and don't know where to begin," she added.
After the workshop, the group will hold its monthly meeting, from 3 p.m., to 5 p.m., and speakers from the Sons and Daughters of the American Revolution, and the Sons and Daughters of the Confederacy will discuss the purpose, and work, of their heritage societies.
"We will learn about these societies, their membership, and their meetings," said Fischer, in a written statement. "If you've ever wanted to join, and didn't know where to start, then this workshop is for you."
Blackmon said no group member has yet found anything on the level of medieval royalty in his or her family tree, but some have discovered distant cousins living in the area about whom they knew nothing. "No one has had that, 'Oh look, I'm related to Thomas Jefferson,' moment yet, but the members are finding information that is important to them on a personal level," she said.
Blackmon said new members are always welcome, however. She said the only times when the group does not meet on the first Sunday of the month, is when there is a holiday at the beginning of the month, such as the Fourth of July, or Labor Day. The meetings are always held at 3 p.m., in room L200 of the library, she said.
People can keep up with the club's activities, such as meeting dates and locations, and special activities, she said, by logging onto the group's online blog, which is located at genealogicalhistoryresearch.blogspot.com/.
Anyone who would like more information about Sunday's meetings, can e-mail Blackmon at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Friday 30 December 2011, 15:34
It was a simple enough brief - I was to lock myself away for one week to talk to people on the internet, to tap into this babble of voices and experiences and explore the global phenomenon of social networking.
It was a venture which would eventually have me talking to a single parent snowbound in Nova Scotia, an Egyptian whose online romance turned sour, a Pakistani yearning for a girl from the wrong caste, a rapper in Lagos, a man car-jacked in Caracas and a student defying the curfew in a Chinese dorm room.
But it's inevitable that a simple idea would take some serious thought to work. How do we hook up, and talk with an individual residing somewhere in internet-land and, crucially, turn it into a piece of radio?
There was a precedent: back in 2002, producer Mark Burman and I created Don't Hang Up, which involved calling public phone boxes to see who picked up. This proved to be a wonderful mechanism to trigger random encounters and the results were often startling.
But whilst we still wanted to capture the serendipity of random encounters with random people Don't Log Off was to be rather different project - requiring an all-new methodology. Firstly, the surprising technological challenges required producer Laurence Grissell and I to construct a "pop-up" recording studio, tucked away in a room at the end of an almost deserted floor of BBC's Henry Wood House. For one week, in the Winter of 2011, Don't Log Off was "on-air". You can see the building of the studio on the the Don't Log Off programme page.
Don't Log Off producer Laurence Grissell and I scripted a simple title and description for the project, hoping to draw in curious minds, and tossed our mission statement into the mix of online chat rooms and message boards. Some failed miserably, nobody cared at all about our Tweets, and certain online networking sites were either too X-rated, or attracted too many jokers wearing ridiculous monster masks for our purposes.
But progress was made through opening a Facebook page and a Skype account - neither of which I'd ever used before so I was inevitably unprepared for what would happen next.
Within hours, I discovered new "friends" on my Don't Log Off Facebook page. Exotic sounding names like Onyekwere, Amr, Luna, Umar, Daria suddenly wanted to be part of the project. We were connected by the internet, some of them were ready to speak right away, and all within hours of my Facebook page going live.
We soon realised this needed to be a round-the-clock operation - in order to truly span the globe, we'd be in for some late nights. There's a certain hysteria which sets in at 4am, believe me!
But speaking for myself, my producer Laurence Grissell, and producer Sarah Bowen who also took to the controls of our strange little pop-up studio, our week on Don't Log off was a remarkable journey - and what started as one programme became two.
This project really was an eye-opener - to hear tales from those suffering with frustration and depression in countries where you just can't speak openly, and it's only though the certain areas of the internet that people can tell their tale. Also, there are those who have fallen in love with someone they shouldn't have fallen in love with on the internet. How real do you want your internet friend to be?
For all these reasons, Don't Log Off is a great leveller, presenting universal themes that span our national borders. Be prepared though, the tales of ordinary people, can be heartbreaking, and sometimes very shocking indeed.
But I must also add, that I'm in awe of all those people I spoke with from Mongolia or Egypt or Singapore or Uzbekistan and from Ukraine to Iran to Venezuela , who spoke all spoke with me in superb, and broadcastable, English. Don't Log Off is about them.
Alan Dein presents Don't Log Off on Radio 4 on 2nd and 9th January at 11am. The programmes will be available to listen to online shortly after broadcast and as a podcast.
All posts are reactively-moderated and must obey the house rules.
Just a quick note to say hello and thanks for producing some fantastic work, Don't Hang Up was wonderful wonderful radio and I hope that Don't Log Off will be even half as good.
DW x
Compared with the series when you telephoned various telephone boxes which was fantastic both in its idea and editing. This Don't Log Off is quite poor. I think the editing does not allow us to get to know the person and the altered circumstances of people being in their own 'homes' seems to diminish the encounter. Bring back the phone box calls.
Paul Hudson
Just spotted the Lives in the landscape, that sound good perhaps like Down Your way which the BBC dropped ions ago but was a voice for the 'ordinary' people of the UK. Something the BBC sadly neglects these days in order to serve the "celeb" group of overexposed egos. Anyway I will be listening as soon as the podcasts get down. See if you can reintroduce the "Down your way" programme- PLEASE
Just listening to 'Lives' which sounds the sort of programme we NEED on this people funded BBC monopoly. Great series so far (Rats and Bowling).

Although I neglected 'Don't Hang Up' by inadvertently not listening to any of it, nevertheless, since it's 'wonderful mechanism' of picking up a rich variety of strangers was of course, devised, then for each one of the strangers, instead, wouldn't it have been a 'random encounter' with the folk of a random Radio 4?
I hope my patience can be big enough for 'Don't Log Off'; I look forward to commenting.
Listened to the first 2 episodes of " Don't Log Off" and all I can say is more, more, more! I vaguely remember "Don't Hang Up" (well it was 2002 and I'm in my sixtys). Is there anymore planned for the future?
I'd like to congratulate Alain Dein and the team for a superb programme, I found it compulsive listening! A shame it's only 2 episodes, I would love to hear more.

Japanese name: | 道化のバギー |
Nickname: | Buggy the Clown, Dōke no Bagī |
In addition, most of his body is capable of flying through the air, fast enough to propel a man through a wall - with the crucial exception of his feet. However, even though the parts are separate, Buggy can still feel what the part feels (for example, when Luffy attacked Buggy, he separated his torso from his waist, only to find that Luffy was aiming for the crotch. Needless to say this left him with a rather painful result. Also when Buggy launched his hand out to pin down Zoro for Cabaji's Sting of the Unicycle Technique, Luffy stomped on it, inflicting tremendous pain). He also seems to require either a fixed distance from his detachments, or keep them within his line of vision, in order to manipulate them separately.
Besides his Devil fruit abilities he usually fights with three knives between his fingers. During the flashbacks of his youth he already used these three knives. He also has a blade hidden in his shoe and in Logue Town (Rogue Town in the dub) used a sword in his failed attempt to execute Luffy.

Why Tupperware Brands (TUP) is Falling on Wednesday
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Tupperware Brands (TUP - Get Report) tumbled after reporting fourth-quarter results below expectations and issuing weak guidance for fiscal 2014. Shares had taken off 5% to $79.55 by late morning.
The homewares direct seller recorded net income of $1.81 a share for the December-ended quarter, three cents short of Thomson Reuters' expectations. Revenue of $717 million was $10.77 million under consensus.
Over fiscal 2013, full-year net income of $1.71 a share fell far below the $5.48 a share expected by analysts. Revenue of $2.67 billion was 3.4% higher than a year earlier but missed consensus by $11 million.
To the year ahead, the company expects to see sales decline 1% to 3% over the first quarter, with growth flat to 2% higher for the full year. Earnings are expected in the range of $5.51 to $5.56 a share, below expectations of $6.02 a share.
"As we look to 2014, we remain focused on providing a good return to our investors, while continuing to invest at appropriate levels in our business units," said CEO Rick Goings in a statement. Tupperware's board approved a quarterly dividend of 68 cents a share, a 9.7% increase on the prior dividend, payable on April 4 to shareholders of record by March 19. TheStreet Ratings team rates TUPPERWARE BRANDS CORP as a Buy with a ratings score of B+. The team has this to say about their recommendation: "We rate TUPPERWARE BRANDS CORP (TUP) a BUY. This is driven by a few notable strengths, which we believe should have a greater impact than any weaknesses, and should give investors a better performance opportunity than most stocks we cover. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its solid stock price performance, revenue growth, notable return on equity, expanding profit margins and growth in earnings per share. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had generally high debt management risk by most measures that we evaluated."- You can view the full analysis from the report here: TUP Ratings Report

Liz Smith: Broadway's Snarling New "Cat"
- by Liz Smith
- on Feb, 01, 2013

- E-mail alerts
"OH, you weak beautiful people, who give up with such grace …"
Those are Maggie the Cat's final lines in Tennessee Williams' classic stage tale of frustrated love, tortured lust, greed and mendacity.
Tennessee's three-act epic about a Southern family falling apart is best known as a sanitized but still sizzling 1958 movie starring Elizabeth Taylor as the wife in heat and Paul Newman (Brick) as her inexplicably disinterested husband.
Onstage, Brick's motivations for not wishing to sleep with his luscious wife are somewhat clearer. But only somewhat. The implications that Brick and his "best friend" Skipper — who committed suicide — were "more than friends," are still shrouded in hysterical denial. Except, interestingly, from Brick's dying father, Big Daddy Pollock, who if not approving, at least seems to understand where some men's needs lead them.
Williams' play is having another revival at the Richard Rodgers Theater this season, starring Scarlett Johansson the sexy movie star, as the frantic Maggie. Plus the mighty attractive Benjamin Walker ("Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson") as the confused, bitter and temporarily crippled Brick. His character suffers a broken leg during an alcohol-fueled accident.
The problem? Well, even though the show is supposed to be about a lack of sex between the participants, neither Scarlett nor Benjamin appear to have ever been interested in the act. She is — as Williams intended — coarse and loud, but perhaps Scarlett overdoes does it. (As brilliant as Elizabeth Taylor was onscreen, she was, at that point, still a bit pristine and MGM-glossy to be entirely believable as a once-poor girl who used to wear "hand me down dresses from a snotty rich cousin I hated." She was, however, quite sympathetic in her efforts to lure her husband back to performing his marital duties.) Miss Johansson, on the other hand, is possibly too brash to elicit much sympathy.
"Cat" is a long play and the actress often rushes her lines and swallows Tennessee's dialogue. (Of course, if she spoke any slower we'd still be in the theater!) She is attractive, in and out of her slip, but hardly erotic. Strange, for a young woman so well-known for her allure. It is undeniably interesting to see this actress away from her usual quiescent roles, raising her voice and attempting to take charge, but her efforts seem self-consciously strenuous.
As for Walker, the role of Brick is difficult enough. He hobbles around in a cast, is mostly quietly drunk and seemingly uninterested in the chaos around him. Walker plays it as so laid back that he is practically not on stage. Even shirtless he has little charisma here. In "Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson," he was dynamic and just the opposite.
IT IS impossible not to be fascinated by any work of Tennessee Williams. He's long-winded, but with gusts of heart-stopping beauty and perception.
The set design by Christopher Oram is gorgeously gauzy, atmospheric and to the point. The bed that Maggie and Brick no longer share dominates the stage. This "Cat" is directed by Rob Ashford, who has suffered at the hands of many critics. (He has not had much experience presenting drama.)
The most complete performances are delivered by Ciaran Hinds as Big Daddy and Debra Monk as Big Mama — he hates her, she loves him — she even loves his hate. It is a far more complex and wrenching tale than the rantings of Maggie and the drunken indifference of Brick.
I couldn't possibly NOT recommend Broadway's "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof." The beauty of Tennessee's language is for the ages, and no actor can improve it or ruin it. That dialogue stands alone and it is worth sitting in a theater to hear.
As for Scarlett, she has made a gritty effort to take herself out of her perceived screen image. If not entirely successful, it is noteworthy, applause worthy and (one hopes) just the beginning of new thresholds for this beauty, onstage and onscreen.
AWARD SHOWS have a problem. It's always the same old (or new and overexposed) faces at the podium. We are reduced to commenting on what they are wearing and if they have gained or — much more likely — lost weight since their last public appearance. Or are they drunk or on drugs?!
So, after a 36-year absence from performing at the Oscars, I consider it great news that Barbra Streisand will sing on Oscar night. (Also appearing, is the wonderful Adele.)
Barbra is a real star. The last great original star to spring from the dying days of the studio system. (The last great original star, period, in my opinion.) And, she was self-created, more or less.
So now everybody's talking about Barbra and the Oscars. She has, in effect, hijacked the night. All to the good, I say.
No word yet what she'll perform. Who cares? It'll be buttah, for sure.

Another great article from our " Dame of Dish" Liz Smith. Loved Elizabeth Taylor in "Cat' and thought she deserved the Oscar for that performance. I am thrilled to see Barbra Streisand and Adele will appear on the Academy Awards. As you said "Who cares what she sings?" They are simply the best!

Gateway Vista, a dual-licensed senior living campus, recently announced the upcoming groundbreaking of its $14-million phase one expansion project. Opening in 1963, Gateway Vista was Lincoln's first senior living community. Today, the Gateway Vista campus offers a full continuum of services, including patio homes and suites for older adults with a variety of needs, from independent living and assisted living to skilled nursing care with state-of-the-art rehabilitation.
The expansion project, with a groundbreaking that took place in early September 2012, will allow Gateway to grow from 20 to 80 skilled nursing beds. The existing six-story tower will be renovated to include a state-of-the-art rehabilitation gym, clubhouse/pub, private dining venue, larger central kitchen, and meditation sanctuary. All 54 senior living suites in the existing tower will continue to serve inpdependent, active seniors as well as those in need of assisted living care. The first phase of the expansion project will also include the construction of a four-story skilled nursing tower, with intimate neighborhoods of 20 private rooms on each floor.
The expansion of rehabilitation and long-term care beds also means an expansion of employment opportunities on the campus. Community planners expect the expansion will add approximately 70 new positions, ranging from clinical services and administrative jobs to food service and environmental positions.
Please follow our progress of expansion through our gallery and our Facebook page.

Very good
The meatloaf was very moist and had a great flavor to it. Surprisingly since I never envisioned uncooked rolled oats in my meatloaf before. Next time I make it, will add more spice to it. Just following the directions, there was no spiciness to it.
Love this recipe! Very tasty. Easy to make. I left out the green chili peppers, chili powder, and cumin. This is the meatloaf of my childhood.
This was so yummy!!! Good comfort food. I actually let my 10 year old help mix it together so she would be more likely to want to taste it. We also had garlic mashed potatoes and roasted broccoli.

My Focus' "older brother" - 1992 Grand Prix
I figured I'd put together a thread for the car that led me to get my Focus in the first place. Just last Friday I took home a Yellow Blaze sedan (http://www.focusfanatics.com/forum/showthread.php?t=269468) which is now referred to as the 'little brother' to this one.
It's a 1992 Pontiac Grand Prix SE sedan, originally bought brand new by my parents in the spring of '93. When I got my license it became my daily driver and I also started tinkering with it, changing things here and there. Fast-forward to this summer, and the decision was made to finally retire it from winter, as it has seen enough salt and rocks and will now be stored during the cold months. It's a car I intend to keep forever, and sooner or later its days as a year-round daily driver would have to come to an end. Long story short, I picked up the Focus from the dealership I work at and now it's my daily driver. This will be kept for the meets, cruises, shows, and the like during the summers. This winter when it's in storage, I'm hoping to finally get a chance to install the custom coilovers that have been waiting to go in for a while, and also use it as an opportunity to do a little bit of body work that needs addressing. Otherwise, it's nearing what I would consider 'completion', for now. Even though it's being modified, I also try to keep a balance of original, as it has the original drivetrain, interior, and around 75% of its original paint still intact, after nearly two decades of use. And for those wondering, here's a list of what's been done to it so far. Exterior/Lighting: -OEM optional side skirts -OEM optional rear lip (Black) -OEM '88-'91 base model tail lights -Yellow vinyl tinted fog lights -'Iron' vinyl tinted brake lights -Matte black vinyl beltline trim -Colour-coded side reflectors -FTW side diffusers -Matte black vinyl license plate recess/front bumper accents -Halo Solaris Yellow fog light bulbs -Halo Super White LED license plate lights Interior: -OEM tape deck -Alarm -Broadway 270mm rear view mirror -OEM push-button trunk release -OEM red courtesy lights -Colour-matched rear view mirror Engine/Bay: -K&N filter -Magnaflow catalytic converter -Tucked headlight harnesses Chassis: -OEM 3.4L Cutlass convertible front strut bar -AWeb rear strut bar -Goodridge stainless steel braided brake lines -OEM Grand Prix coupe Crosslaces (16x8 +25) custom painted satin black w/silver time-attack stripes -215/60R16 Goodyear Eagle GTs Meanwhile, I'll keep working on it, and try to control myself when it comes to the Focus.

Territorial Governor's Day will celebrate Kansas' first capitol
If you want to see life as it was in Kansas in the 1850s, mark June 23 on your calendar.
That's when Partners of the First Territorial Capitol will host Territorial Governor's Day from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the First Territorial Capitol Site at Fort Riley. There will be presentations, activities for children, food vendors and historic re-enactors portraying events and historic Kansans from 157 years ago.
It was at that site in July 1855 that territorial Kansas legislators met and began the debate over whether Kansas would be admitted to the Union as a free or slave state. In the years that followed, the territory became known as "Bleeding Kansas" because of the violence that erupted over the issue.
The majority of the legislators, who were pro-slavery, didn't like meeting in such a "remote" part of the state. They voted – after just a few days – to move the next capitol closer to their homes – and closer to Missouri, which was pro-slavery.
During the next seven years, several capitol buildings were located throughout the state – in Shawnee Mission, Topeka, Lecompton, Leavenworth and Wyandotte – before Topeka was chosen as the permanent location. Kansas was admitted to the Union in 1861 as a free state.
The First Territorial Capitol State Historic Site is on Fort Riley at 693 Huebner Road. Photo identification is required for admission to the post. The event is free and open to the public.
For more information, call 785-784-5535 or visit kshs.org/first_territorial_capitol.

The idea is to have the new pope elected during next week and officially installed several days later so he can preside over the Holy Week ceremonies starting with Palm Sunday on March 24 and culminating in Easter the following Sunday.
The general congregations, closed-door meetings in the interregnum between a papacy and the conclave to choose the next one, will hold morning and afternoon sessions in an apparent effort to discuss as much as possible in a short time.
The list of challenges facing the crisis-hit Church could take weeks to debate, but the Vatican seems keen to have only a week of talks so the 115 cardinal electors -- those under 80 -- can enter the Sistine Chapel for the conclave next week.
High on the agenda will be Church governance after last year's Vatileaks scandal exposed corruption and rivalries in the Vatican's Curia bureaucracy. Cardinals expect to be briefed on a secret report to the pope on the problems it highlighted.
"We should know about some things we don't have enough information about because of our work or the distance (from Rome)," Honduran Cardinal Oscar Rodriguez Maradiaga told Italian television.
Cardinal Daniel DiNardo, archbishop of Galveston-Houston in Texas, noted more than half the cardinal electors had been named since the now retired Pope Benedict was chosen in 2005 and had to find out how this most secretive of elections is conducted.
"Part of this is learning," he told journalists. Cardinals over 80 can attend the general congregations and discuss issues with the electors, but not take part in the conclave itself.
The meetings are also a time for sizing up the undecleared candidates by watching them closely in the debates and checking discreetly with other cardinals about their qualifications.
"I don't think any of us will go in saying 'this is who I will vote for'," Boston Cardinal Sean O'Malley said. "You're faced with a number of choices."
One urgent decision the cardinals must take is when to go into the conclave. Only all 115 electors can make the decision and not all are in Rome yet, so it may take a few days before the actual date is set.
Cardinals never reveal publicly who they prefer but drop hints in interviews by discussing the identikit for their ideal candidate. The most frequently mentioned quality here is an ability to communicate the Catholic faith convincingly.
Several strike a note of nostalgia for the charismatic late Pope John Paul after eight years of his shy successor Benedict, who shocked the Catholic world by becoming the first pope in almost 600 years to resign last month.
Most cardinals say the new pope could come from outside Europe, but it is not clear if the conclave, which has a slight majority of European cardinals, will break the long-standing tradition of choosing only men from the continent.
The sexual abuse crisis haunting the Church should also play a role, especially since one elector - Cardinal Keith O'Brien - quit as Edinburgh archbishop last week and pulled out of attending the conclave because of abuse accusations against him.
O'Brien initially denied the allegations but issued a statement on Sunday evening apologising because "my sexual conduct has fallen below the standards expected of me as a priest, archbishop and cardinal."
Two cardinals mentioned as possible candidates added other issues to the discussion list in interviews with Reuters.
Cardinal Leonardo Sandri, an Argentine who heads the Curia department for Eastern Catholic Churches, said the Church must give women more leadership positions in the Vatican and beyond.
New York Cardinal Timothy Dolan said the growing phenomenon of people believing in God but rejecting organised churches, known among sociologists of religion as "believing without belonging," was a major challenge for the Church in future.

The one thing I didnt like about my base Tacoma was the wheels that came with the truck. This mod only took me under 2 hours and looks alot more clean with the truck. Looks factory and makes the truck look alot more aggressive.
roll of tape
2 cans of Duplicolor Wheel Paint (wp102 graphite)
I didnt take any pictures during the painting, but its pretty simple. I desided to leave the outside of the wheel stock silver, and paint the inside (see pics). I use duplicolor WP 102 Graphite sold at autozone and I have seen it at Advance autoparts. It sells for $5.99, I bought two cans, but only had to use one for all 4.
I taped off the outside of the wheel putting the tape in the crack around the wheel. Poped off the center cap, Then taped off the nuts, valve stem, and used newspaper to cover the tires. you can use the same tape around the wheels to tape the newspaper to. It will make more since when your doing it.
The best way is to remove the wheels from the truck, but I didnt feel like it. The can sprays nice and even so its real easy, and hard to screw up. It goes on real even after the 1st coat. Go real light on the first coat, wait 30min then apply the second, wait another 30min then hit the 3rd. I put 3 coats total on which was plenty. The can recommends 2. Be carefull to wait at least a hour before you put the center caps back on. The caps take longer to set.
I missed a few spots around the taped off nuts and had to go back over it, which wasnt really a big deal since it goes on uniform even with a spot spray.
Heres the results

Hospitals: Budget cuts will affect service
Sue Klabo said Minnesota hospitals like the one she leads face "grave" circumstances if state policymakers make deep health-care budget cuts.
Klabo said her Mahnomen Health Center in northwestern Minnesota is treating a growing number of patients who are uninsured or rely on government-subsidized programs, but faces potential budget reductions that threaten the center's viability.

text: This is related to my previous post "modules.conf". I went ahead and booted without a modules.conf file. The floppy.o loads fine when I mount a floppy. But when X-CD-Roast, a front-end to cdrtools, starts up, only sg.o and scsi_mod.o are loaded by the kernel. I must load ide-scsi.o with modprobe, before X-CD-Roast can detect a loaded disk. Can someone point me in the right direction for fixing this? I guess I want all three, sg.o, scsi_mod.o and ide-scsi.o, to load together without manual intervention. -- "Don't you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought?
