Recently it was announced that tenor singer Tony Jarman was stepping down from the Down East Boys. In my humble opinion, Jarman has never gotten enough attention for his voice. To be honest, I prefer it to some other much better-known tenors. It's pure, warm and well-rounded, and it reminds me of the lead singer for 4Him. One of my favorite performances of his is the Poet Voices' "One Holy Lamb." His face doesn't appear on most album covers for this project (or even the Youtube thumbnail below), because he left shortly after it was recorded, but it's his voice on this number. Milan Klipa is the tenor featured in their live performances, like this one, but he's not as rangey or powerful. In fact, you can hear him balking and pulling away from the notes Tony nails in the studio version. While several singers have tackled this standard, Tony's version will remain the definitive in my book:

A Book a Week: Gloria Jean, A Little Bit of Heaven
As promised, here is my review of the biography of child singing star Gloria Jean, written by Scott and Jan MacGillivray. The sub-title is A Little Bit of Heaven. Presumably this was chosen because That Awkward Moment When I Caught a Skin Rash From Bing Crosby, Mel Torme Proposed, and Donald O'Connor Hugged Me So Hard He Broke My Ribs would've run a tad long.
Although this isn't an autobiography, Gloria is generously quoted from interviews conducted by the authors, so her own voice still comes through clearly. And what a treat it is! Gloria Jean is one of those people you're not likely to have heard of. She never attained the legendary status of a Shirley Temple, and most of her work is out of print. But once you get to know her, you're very glad you did.
New Series Announcement: A Book a Week
For the last stretch of the summer, I've decided to spend the time that might otherwise have been wasted sleeping in, arguing with atheists on the Internet, surfing the Internet, etc., on reading and reviewing one good new book per week. Happily, I just popped in on a lovely little used bookstore the other week and picked up several good 'uns. So I thought I might let you, my readers, take a peek at what I'm reading for the next few weeks. But since it seems half the country is on vacation right now, I decided to wait until next Friday to publish the first installment. All the books in my queue so far are non-fiction, mostly revolving around entertainment history, or in one case, military history. The two sections were right next to each other at the bookstore. It's a wonder I dragged myself out of that place at all!
My first entry in this new little series will actually not be a used book purchase, but something I recently purchased new. It's the biography of a forgotten child singing star from the same era as Shirley Temple and Deanna Durbin. Her name is Gloria Jean. This young lady was the original Jackie Evancho—a true prodigy. She was trained as a coloratura soprano from childhood on up and achieved worldwide fame through her facility with both classical and pop standards. Along the way, she rubbed shoulders with so many legendary show biz names it would make your head spin. And not just names only show biz buffs would recognize either. The book draws heavily from her own words and contains stories you won't find anywhere else—funny stories, strange stories, and downright beautiful stories. It's also a sober look at the less pleasant side of child stardom and show business in general, as the small-town girl rose to fame only to fall off the map again.
She has her own Youtube channel now and still interacts with fans via a website. Here she is introducing some vintage clips of her singing and acting, to whet your appetite and get you counting stars. Come back next Friday for the full review!

Toe-to-Toe: Ball Brothers vs. Mullins, "Who's Gonna Stand in the Gap?"
[Update: Brian has pointed out that Squire Parsons also recorded this song himself back in the 80s. If you'd like to hear that version for yet a third take, click here.]
Since some readers took offense at my appropriation of Steve Eaton's "Smackdown" title for this series, I've given it a new name so as to accommodate everyone. :) Today, I'm taking a hot new track off the Ball Brothers' release Pursuit (review scheduled for next week) and comparing it with an old acappella version by the Mullins. The song is "Who's Gonna Stand in the Gap?" written by Squire Parsons. Squire's songs consistently deliver for me. He just seems to knock it out of the park every time, and this resounding call to action is no exception. It's like a contemporary "Dare to Be a Daniel," exhorting Christians to stand proudly for God.
The Ball Brothers' version is the standout track on their new project and pulls out all the stops for a big band swingfest, while the Mullins' version is more soulful. I was happy to discover the album that the Mullins' version comes from, Vocal Point. Classy acappella reminiscent of the Haven of Rest Quartet or Glad. You can listen to both versions on Spotify. Check out the Mullins here. Then check out the Ball Brothers here. Which do you prefer? To me, there is a clear winner, but I will let you be the judge!

Smackdown: Adam Crabb vs. Michael English, "Please Forgive Me"
A limited edition recording of the new Gaither Vocal Band has been leaked to Youtube. The report is that this table project will not be sold in any common retail outlets, so if you happen to grab a copy at a concert, congratulations! There's no new material, just slightly different vocal arrangements over pre-existing tracks for songs like "My Lord and I," "Why Me, Lord?" and "The Baptism of Jesse Taylor." One of the songs being re-done is "Please Forgive Me?" Of course, this is a Crabb Family original, but the Gaither Vocal Band's arrangement upped the vocal ante several notches. It's interesting to hear Adam Crabb take over what has now become a Michael English signature tune. Take a listen to the new lineup's take on it. Update, July 31: Or don't, now that the copyright police dogs have sniffed out and broken this link.
As an extra little bonus, here is some live footage of the current lineup on the dramatic breakdown:
Now refresh your memory on Michael English's version. Which do you prefer?

Kickstart Something Good: Jean Watson
For those who are weary of the pablum now paraded as "music" on the airwaves of mainstream and Christian music alike, I offer an alternative: Jean Watson, a gifted singer/songwriter who also happens to be a dear friend of mine. Her style is clear, contemplative CCM, much like Fernando Ortega. She is a classically trained singer and violinist, and she enjoys an active ministry both in America and in the U.K. On her two latest projects—one Christmas and one original worship—she has teamed up with some of the best talent in Nashville, including producer Bill Smiley (WhiteHeart, Steven Curtis Chapman, Johnny Cash, Bebe & Cece Winans, Gaither Vocal Band, 4Him, and more), drummer Steve Brewster (Bob Seger, Chicago, Michael W. Smith, Amy Grant, Faith Hill, Richard Marx), and most excitingly, Phil Keaggy on a fresh arrangement of the carol "Do You Hear What I Hear?" Jean aims to help fund both records at once through a Kickstarter campaign she is calling "The Sound of Heaven." She writes:
The greatest challenge for me in creating this project is simply financial. Whatever I have to pay towards the cost of production, manufacture, artwork, photography, travel, etc, etc, simply puts a burden on the ministry which provides the bulk of my income. I desire to be in a place where I am not hindered by any debt and can give away as much of my ministry proceeds as possible!
The total cost of 'The Sound of Heaven Project' is projected at approximately $40,000 which includes all expenses from start to finish. Kickstarter is a great way to raise funds for projects like this, but if I don't raise the whole $14,000 that I am asking for to help me, I get nothing! Kickstarter will help me meet as many of those expenses as possible so I can focus on MINISTRY, not money! :)
Reading the numbers closely should impress upon us all just how difficult it is to be an independent artist in today's economy. As you can see, this Kickstarter campaign won't cover half of her costs even if it's successful. But it will be a significant help. Click here to back her project, and if you want to hear her music, you should go to her website. The soundtrack to the promo video is music by Hillsong, not Jean. Here is one of her original songs:

New Favorite Female Singer
Last year's American Idol recently paid a guest visit to this year's stage. This is the first time I got a really good listen to her voice, and I have to say: wow. Her new album just dropped at the end of last month. Candice Glover, everyone! It's just too bad she's going into R&B and not gospel. What a voice. One wonders if the judges were thinking, "Shoot, do we have any finalists this year who even come close?" Try to ignore the dumb graphics on song two. (My preferred solution is to focus intently on Keith Urban's head-bobbing.)

Goodbye Promise Trio, You Were Great
I know I said at the beginning of my 12 Essential Tracks of Christmas that I would provide a list of 12 more tracks that missed the cut. But since the series didn't generate that many views, I thought I would dive right back into our regular programming instead, because I suspect y'all are ready to rotate Christmas music out of your mixes right about now. I have to admit that I am too. But feel free to e-mail if you would like to see the list. :)
I wanted to take a moment to pay tribute to a young trio that recently disbanded after nearly four years in the business. That group is Promise Trio. The pressures of personality, life on the road, and making a profit in a rocky economy doubtless all contributed to the various group changes and the final decision to dissolve. I thought Promise had great potential from day one and remained consistently excellent for the group's brief lifespan. It was originally founded as Statement of Faith by Jacob Kitson, who stepped down from Greater Vision at Chris Allman's return. He, brother Joe and baritone Jon Epley (who just had a fantastic year with the Inspirations and now sings bass for them), recorded just one CD in 2010 before Epley was snapped up by the legendary group. However, the song "Masterpiece of Mercy" would later land on a Booth Brothers recording. Youtuber cbcacs has some good footage of a concert by this lineup. Continue reading

Signature Sound, The High Kings, and Musical Heritage
This little post started as a longish "Recently Added" entry about a young Irish folk band called The High Kings. But it quickly blossomed into something more. As I traced the evolution and growth of the band, I began noticing a lot of similarities between this group and our own Signature Sound in southern gospel. Both groups play a very similar role in their respective genres, bringing old music to a younger generation while trying to retain their own artistic identity. Before I knew it, I was writing a mini-dissertation on marketing, musical artistry, and the heritage of traditional music. So, come along with me for the ride, and discover some great new music at the same time! I'll leave you to savor it for a little bit while I spend the next week cramming for finals and going to Christmas parties.

Perfect Tenor Performances: Gus Gaches, "Holy Is Thy Name"
When I first heard Gus Gaches's voice, he vaulted into my personal top five southern gospel tenors practically overnight. It was instant fanhood. Some tenor singers take a little time to grow on you, but it's hard not to be quickly won over by Gus's pure, smooth tones. He's very steady and clean, and he retains a full sound even in his upper register (though he wisely chooses not to push himself past a high D or so, to preserve tone quality). He may not be the most rangy or powerful tenor, but he has the complete package. Check out this performance of "Holy Is Thy Name":

Do You Use Long-Tail Keywords? You Should!
What are long-tail keywords and why might they be important to an SMB owner? Ah…some of the finest friends your website will ever have are "long-tails" when it comes to Google search results, so let's get into it!
A long-tail keyword is – as Google itself reports here - "Long-tail keywords are longer and more specific keyword phrases that visitors are more likely to use when they're closer to a point-of-purchase. They're a little bit counter-intuitive, at first, but they can be hugely valuable if you know how to use them…"

HTTPS is Now a Ranking Signal!
SSL – the acronym means Secure Socket Layer is something that many SMB owners – perhaps other than those in the eCommerce space – have bumped into, and it's now becoming more important than ever for your website. It's the modified notation up front in any URL – the HTTPS instead of the HTTP notation that indicates that an SSL is being used by that site.
Why do I post about that here today?

Negative SEO: A Funny Guide….maybe?
Okay, the topic today is again, Negative SEO – the tactic that both exists and is in use by some to try to knock down the competition's rankings and replace their page 1 spots with your own. You know…more of a DEFENCE type maneuver than an OFFENCE one….and yes, I've reported on same before at some length too!
There has been much blogging press on this lately….perhaps because our own SEO guru Rand Fishkin over at moz.com has asked for some help in developing a case study that will irrefutably prove once and for all that it exists….I believe this to be a "cart ahead of the horse" type quest as I know for a simple fact that yes, it does exist….but that's not what today's post is about…

Revisting the HillTop Algo: AuthorRank Lives!
Yup, I know…what is Hilltop and what do I mean by 'AuthorRank' too? Simply put, what I'm going to be talking about in this Canadian SEO blog post is what might be the newly intended value of the patented Hilltop algorithm that Google bought about a decade ago.
First, what's the Hilltop algo?
It was as Wiki states "…an algorithm used to find documents relevant to a particular keyword topic. Created by Krishna Bharat while he was at Compaq Systems Research Center and George A. Mihăilă at the University of Toronto, it was acquired by Google in February 2003…and Bharet is employed at Google now…are you getting my "drift" on this?

Which means that we like all the other SEO firms out there, pay particular attention to Google et al….well to Google for sure.

#JerkTech: Is ReservationHop a Disruptor or Not?
A couple of terms here to explain I'd imagine before you even get the thrust of this post would be in order…. #JerkTech is a phrase that is fairly new, and refers to what TechCrunch labels as "…emblematic of a compassionless new wave of self-serving startups that exploit small businesses and public infrastructure to make a buck and aid the wealthy. Let's call these parasites #JerkTech. It's one thing to outcompete a big, stagnant company with new technology. It's another to screw over the little guys just because you can sell what's usually free…"
So….#JerkTech (also a real live Twitter handle!) is something not so good, right? Wrong in my world…because I've always been a "let the market decide" type of guy.

Division, Danger and Diversion
We know the dangers if we go to war. Death, waste, suffering, hatred, blowback.
"Collateral damage" to innocent Iraqi children. To our own soldiers, many of them minorities and poor. To the American economy, with a war's $2 billion cost.
There is a time to every season under heaven. A time for war--World War II, which saved us from fascism; the Civil War, which saved the Union and freed the slaves.
On the other hand, Grenada and Panama were not just wars.
There is a time for peace. Now is such a time.
A time for the UN, not unilateralism. A time for allied pressure, not pre-emptive strikes. A time for international criminal courts, not invasions.
Saddam Hussein should be held accountable for his crimes. That's a good argument for the International Criminal Court--not a good argument for bombing Baghdad.
If we launch a "pre-emptive strike" on Iraq, we lose all moral authority. How will we then say no to India, to Pakistan, to China, when they consider pre-emptive strikes? What moral authority do we use with Putin, when he invokes the Bush Doctrine of pre-emption against Chechnya?
We lose our moral authority when our leaders advocate one-bullet diplomacy. One-bullet diplomacy is for gangsters and thugs, not great nations. We know it is wrong.
Chile suffered from the pain of one-bullet diplomacy. Gandhi and King died from one-bullet diplomacy. So did Lincoln, and both Kennedys.
We have a higher calling.
And when did we vote on pre-emption? When did we, the people, ever decide to change from a strong defense to a first-strike offense?
Since July 4, 1776, thanks to the victories and struggles of our forefathers and foremothers, America has flourished as an expanding democracy. We will fail as an empire. Rome and Britain have already tested that proposition.
Solely on political grounds, if I were George W. Bush, I guess I would want to change the subject, too. Certainly he does not benefit from public attention to the declining economy, or to unmet domestic needs. With ten days left until the elections, the Bush Administration really wants to divert our attention from Enron and Halliburton and Harken, to Iraq.
But we have unfinished business.
Unfinished business with Al Qaeda.
The unfinished business of rebuilding Afghanistan.
We have not yet caught Osama bin Laden, or the anthrax attacker. And we certainly have unfinished business here at home, with the stock market down, healthcare down, pensions down, wages stagnant, deficits up, unemployment up, poverty up, corporate crime up.
This "attack Iraq now" rhetoric is a diversion, an attempt to change the subject before Election Day.
We must keep our eyes on the prize.
The Bush Administration would divert us from:
§ a struggling economy, with the weakest economic growth in fifty years;
§ the loss of more than 2 million jobs;
§ the unemployment rate up by 1.5%;
§ a stock market down by more than 2,000 points, the sharpest decline since Herbert Hoover;
§ 1.3 Million more poor people, in only one year;
§ a shift from large surplus to massive deficit, in record time;
§ a tax cut for the very rich;
§ a corporate crime wave harkening back to the Gilded Age;
§ record CEO pay and benefits, despite corporate corruption and a stagnated minimum wage;
§ the vastly increased gap between rich and poor, both within our borders, and between north and south around the world.
§ Increasing retirement insecurity, with no prescription-drug assistance, pension plans defunded, 401(k)s turning into "201(k)s", consumer confidence way down and the Social Security trust fund raided--despite solemn promises to the contrary.
§ And privatization still looms, despite a conservative tactical retreat.
A diversion from the basic question--are you better off than you were the day George W. Bush was selected President by his father's friends on the Supreme Court?

"It was a lot worse when I first moved here," Caminero says, unlocking the gate and showing a reporter into a small room with high ceilings, plywood floors, and canvases strung up like clothes on a laundry line. Vines creep from the windowsill up the moldering white wall and around a portrait of José Martí. It's a far cry from the sumptuous wood and polished concrete of PAMM. "Someone broke into my car once," Caminero says. "And my studio twice."
In the 15 years since, the neighborhood has softened a little. Motels and a strip club still dominate the block, but hipster restaurants and a puppy grooming salon have popped up. Nowadays, Caminero's biggest fear isn't robbery, but revenge.
"I worry some crazy person might come and slash all my paintings because of what I did," he says. "Not that I could blame them."
Caminero himself has had to fight off the "crazy" label in the days since his arrest. His studio does him no favors. The walls are scrawled with dozens of phrases. Some were penned by the visiting artists Caminero lets stay for free. Others are lyrics from his favorite folk songs. "In my house, nothing is prohibited," reads one. "There is no salvation unless it's for everyone," says another.
When a Miami Herald reporter peeked through the windows the day after Caminero's arrest, however, she chose a much more menacing quote to lead the article about him: "The crazies are going to take control."
Caminero considered it an underhanded attempt to suggest he was out of his mind. His Facebook page was flooded with similar accusations, as well as threats to destroy his artwork as he had done to Ai Weiwei's.
But Caminero mostly shrugs off the criticism. It is something he got used to years ago, when he realized that to show his work was to expose his soul to the slings and arrows of anyone who saw it. The stress of the first few days, when newspapers from around the world were calling him every five minutes and demanding answers, has subsided.
Since then, Caminero has made several public apologies to both Ai Weiwei and PAMM — assumedly on the advice of his lawyer. Whether he really needed to is up for debate. Ai himself has acknowledged that his pieces are damaged all the time during transport. "A work is a work. It's a physical thing. What can you do?" he told the New York Times. "It's already over."
PAMM officials, meanwhile, have admitted the urn was insured. Neither it nor Ai will lose any money over the protest. On the contrary, the incident drummed up far more media attention for both the fledgling museum and the Chinese artist than the show itself.
In fact, some of Caminero's supporters criticized him only for apologizing. Caminero admits his mea culpa was more complicated than it seemed.
"My apology was to Mr. Weiwei because I think he's sore and I had no right to destroy his work," he says. "But the installation was adequate to do the performance. It wasn't a bicycle or a painting. It was a pot, like the one Weiwei broke. It was the right moment, and I made a point. I don't need to say an apology for the performance."
Perhaps the most painful irony is that breaking the urn wasn't Caminero's first conceptual art performance. It was also probably the most interesting statement he's ever made as an artist. Whatever you think of his abstract paintings or canvases covered in hieroglyphics, none of them has ever sparked as much debate as dropping a 2,000-year-old pot. Of course, that same act has made him persona non grata among Miami's art galleries and museums.
"He's pretty much a pariah now," says one art industry insider who asked not to be named. "He's radioactive. This guy is like kryptonite."
If Caminero had the marketing savvy to say, "Never sorry" — the name of an Oscar-nominated documentary about Ai Weiwei — maybe things would be different. But as it is, he's just a 51-year-old painter whose work is neither easily marketable nor politically fashionable. A 51-year-old painter facing up to five years in prison, no less.
Next month, more than 40 artists will sell their work for Caminero's legal defense fund. Yet prison remains a real possibility. Caminero's family is terrified at the thought.
"I pray every day that he doesn't end up there," Rosanna says. "I'll die of pain if he goes inside. He doesn't belong there. He's never killed a thing, not even a cockroach."
Caminero is calmer. "I'm like Christ, crucified," he says. "It's too late for me, but the museum is going to have to change and start showing other artists now." Among the changes he wants to see at PAMM: a permanent exhibition room for local artists, a board made up of artists and art experts, and yearly contests. (PAMM declined to comment about those suggestions.)
Caminero has pleaded not guilty, but he does regret what he did. Breaking the urn has brought "disharmony" into his life, he says. Worst of all, he hasn't been able to paint.

Private Eye/Cyclops 405 – Copper bottomed
Posted by beermagnet on December 7th, 2009
I expect there's a fair bit of copper in one of Brenda's crowns too.
Intro joke: What's green and misty? (ans below)
Let's get stuck into the detail:
Across | |
1 | CASUAL (USA)< (America's comeback) inside CAL (state of Arnie) |
4 | STUART U (posh) inside START (surprise) Def. Royal family. I really liked this clue: Royal family's surprise taking in of Posh? (6) |
9 | EPIC PI (Goody-goody) inside EC (City area) |
10 | DRUG PUSHER CD Dope is sometimes called shit (mind you, anything and everything seems to be called shit at some time). |
11 | DEFECTOR DEFEC[a]TOR |
12 | EXPERT [th]E (end of the) X (times) PERT (Neat) Def. Ace! |
13 | CHARMER H[ard] ARM (member) E[cstasy] all inside C[ondo]R |
17 | SHOW (WHO'S)* AInd: ballsed up |
18 | FELT TIP FELT (fondled) TIP (end) |
20 | STUDIO STUD (sexual athlete) I[n] O[utrageous] First one I got |
22 | ALFRESCO (FLARES)* AInd: ghastly; then CO (firm) |
24 | PRIVATE EYE CD/DD in inimitable Eye style. I needed an embarassingly large number of crossing letters before the penny dropped on this one. Thus "best clue award" goes here: A dick you're holding? (7,3) |
25/15 | STEP DOWN STEP (measure) DOWN (fed up) |
26 | CANADA (AC)< (Bill back) (AND)* AInd: screwing; [Monic]A Classic Cyclops subject matter for a clue |
27 | HARD-ON HARD (difficult) ON (performing) |
Down | |
1 | COPPER DD old boiler and PC. When I was tiny I remember granny boiling up the copper on washday. ("Don't forget the packet of 'Blue'" What the hell was that stuff?) |
2 | SACRED COW SAC (bag) RED (scarlet) COW (woman who's objectionable) |
3 | AUDIT AUDI (car) T[ories] |
5 | TOP SECRET (PRESCOTT + E)* AInd: confused. As the "E" was given by just "direction" it was tricky to know exactly what to use for the anagram fodder |
6 | AESOP A[rcher] (POSE)< Have I parsed this clue right? 'Fabulous author' Archer's chief affectation, doing a U-turn (5) |
7 | THE CROWN DD "Brenda symbolically" and "tender? Not any more". The most recent crown was the Churchill Crown and according to this link it continues to be legal tender, i.e. worth 5s = 25p which is just as well as there were so many made they are not the collector's items that people might think and are typically worth, er, about 25p. [Insufficient space for beermagnet's brother's Churchill Crown anecdote.] |
8 | SUPREME LEADER (PERSUADER)* AInd: useless; around MELE[e] (a muddled bunch endlessly). The Def. "Our Gordon" refers to Eye's characterisation of GB in the context of their page "Prime Ministerial Decree issued by the Supreme Leader" |
14 | AFFRONTED [s]AFFRON (Sun abandoned yellow) TED (Mr Heath) |
15 | DEPRESSED PRESS (newspapers) inside DEED (action). A clue construction I've often seen for this answer, and as such it gave me a real "Doh!" moment as it was the last answer I entered, so it must've fooled me the first few times I read it. |
16 | RHETORIC (CHERI[e] ROT)* AInd: nonsensical |
19 | SCREEN C[onservative] R[ight] inside SEEN (viewed) Def. trustworthiness test |
21 | DEVON (ONE VD)* AInd: racked |
23 | FREDA F (DEAR)* AInd: off |
Joke ans: Kermit the fog!

Sometimes I think it could be for the best.
Maybe it is what you see as a test.
We were friends, we were allies.
We took on the world, with our heads held up high.
What happened, what changed?
Why did what we have, suddenly have to go and die?
Is it over? Are we done?
A strange mix of feelings, they're hard to describe.
Did it matter? Was it worth it?
Your intentions leaving questions, they're all that reside.
Must advance, need to dance.
The world is still waiting, and our light needs to shine.
Can't hold back, can't be slack.
Our group is now ready, to make our advance towards the finish line.
You may have chosen this path, you may have made some bad choices.
But you're a friend until the end, that is my opinion and I'll voice it.
Best of Luck.

For anyone interested- Dan patrick and keith obberman were talking adam v.- here is the summary- --Oberrman pointed out the pats have not missed anyone they have left go in the past except maybe ty law --That age -(above 30) is big factor in mcginest and Adam leaving. --Okay to let all these players go but who are they bringing in was the talk? --Adam is remembered for his clutch kicks but its not that other kickers in the SB may not have made that kick although vanderjerk was not part of that list
Not to play down what Vinatieri did but his SB winners were both in tied games. Had the Patriots been down by 1 or 2 and it's win or lose, not win or O.T. would the outcome have been different ? Who knows but this wasn't the same as Scott Norwood. His tying kick vs. Oakland in the Snow Bowl, that's different, that kick was amazing.
...let's not diminish what Adam did for New England - he was CRUCIAL to two (and arguably all three) of the Pats' SB victories. I, for one, will NEVER minimize his accomplishments.
I agree. I used to say that AV got a lifetime pass from me because of what he has done for the team, but INDY? Cripes, Adam- anyone but THEM! Anyway- I refuse to badmouth him on his way out. I'll just hope that he doesn't bring the Colts success at NE's expense.
Honestly...thanks for kicking the football Adam... But you can go F*&K yourself as far as I am concerned...The colts? THE COLTS! I don't recall wishing JR Redmond all these well wishes, when he got released...because if you go back and look at the films....If it wasn't for JR...we would not have won that Snow Bowl...OR first superbowl.
Same here -- lifetime pass for mediocrity because of the snow bowl...like Schilling and that sock. BUT he's gone. Now I look forward to jeering him when he misses or when his kickoffs barely clear midfield. It's the name on the front of the jersey that counts BTW, Tedy will never leave. That was etched in stone when he signed his last contract. The stroke and 'last man standing' ices it. And that's good for him -- Tedy is an icon in these parts. Tedy will be TJx10 when he retires -- maybe a coach. Adam was set too. If he gets old too quick, he'll be a mistake and overpaid in Indy. Paymeaton will never allow a kicker to share the spotlight. Go Pats!
Go for it, Adam! Take the money. I don't care if it's the Colts, the Jets or any team. You deserve it.
Adam never wanted to come back he made contact with the Colts last week. Adam never even visted the Colts and signed ugh!!! No Vanderjerk go Rookie
This was a good pickup for the Colts, it will be tough to watch him play for them. I'm not going to suddenly act like he stinks, he's still a good kicker, but he is a kicker. He hit 80% of his kicks in his career, and hasn't had a 50+ yard FG since 2002. His clutch kicks will always be a great memory to me, but that's all they are. I'm not going to act like the guy kicks 60 yard FG's with his eyes closed and hit's 95% of his attempts every year. He is what he is, a solid kicker who will do well in Indy. I'm sure AV's replacement will probably be able to duplicate AV's 2005 season, and with the money saved, hopefully it will go towards a guy who will help lower the odds of us relying on a kicker to win or lose games.
Amen. I'm sure Belichick was thrilled to have a kicker as clutch as Vinatieri on the roster . . . but I'm also sure it galled him (at least a little bit) every time he had to send Vinatieri in to kick a FG (since it means that the offense couldn't get their job done!).

Debunking more myths
The popular notion that the nation's solid waste stream is larded with disposable cups, plates, wraps and other foodservice packaging products took another hit in a new study by Franklin Associates, Ltd., a solid waste research group, for the Foodservice & Packaging Institute (FPI).
Always miniscule the volume of foodservice disposable products accounts for a mere 1.51% of the municipal solid waste volume. This reflects a 5-year decline in volume for these products. FPI President Joseph W. Bow attributes the decline to an industry-wide effort to reduce waste through source reduction recycling composting and other environmentally responsible disposal practices.

New CWIHP e-Dossier on the June 1967 Arab-Israeli War
Sep 30, 2003Thirty six years after the June 1967 war between the State of Israel and its Arab neighbors, the role played by the Kremlin in the events which led to this armed conflict and during the war, remains enigmatic. Soviet documents on the subject remain hard to obtain. New archival evidence from Poland sheds light on the role played by the USSR in the events leading up to the outbreak of the Six Day War and during the conflict.
Cold War Memory: Interpreting the Physical Legacy of the Cold War
Sep 08, 2003On September 8 and 9, 2003, the Woodrow Wilson Center's Cold War International History Project hosted a pioneering international conference on Cold War commemorative efforts. The meeting was co-sponsored by the Association of Air Force Missileers, the Cold War Museum, the German Historical Institute (Washington, DC), the Harry S. Truman Library, the Kennan Institute; in cooperation with the Norwegian Aviation Museum, the Eisenhower Foundation and Eisenhower Presidential Library, and the National Coalition for History; and with generous financial support from the Boeing Company and the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation.

Point of View
Aug 29, 2003CWIHP's Nancy Meyers discusses the strategy behind developing a new Cold War history website specifically for educators and students.
William Taubman article in International Herald Tribune
Aug 01, 2003In its 26 July 2003 issue, the International Herald Tribune published an article by William Taubman, author of a new biography of Nikita Khrushchev and CWIHP Advisory Committee chairman, examining the controversy surrounding Nikita Khruschev's famous 1960 "shoe incident" at the United Nations. The article was informed by a heated discussion among several eyewitnesses at a March 2003 CWIHP book launch for Taubman's "Khrushchev." (See the event report on this website.)
Teaching the New Cold War History
Aug 01, 2003The history of the Cold War and its legacy are critical for today's students' understanding of modern global history and current affairs. To assist high school teachers in educating their students about this important period in history, the Center's Cold War International History Project teamed up with George Washington University and other Cold War experts last month for the second summer institute for teachers.

Less obvious, but a possibility: an odd character in the "root" name in /etc/passed.

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
This good looking rice cooker is priced right for its capacity & quality. To avoid steaming the woodwork I turn the rice cooker so that the power button faces the wall. My rice cooker sat unused for a little while. After trial & error & experimenting I've improved the quality of my brown rice cooking results. Now I'm using it again more often.

Limoncello Is Only Takeoff for This Flight
LAS VEGAS ( MainStreet) -- From his grandmother's kitchen in Italy to the lights of the Las Vegas Strip, executive chef Vincenzo Scarmiglia's flight of 'cellos have become legend.
TravelsinTaste found out that Scarmiglia is the only chef in the country serving five unique twists on the classic Italian after-dinner liqueur, limoncello, each paired with a unique, perfectly harmonizing petit four at Sirio Ristorante in Aria Resort and Casino.
Made with nothing but lemons, alcohol, water and sugar, the nectar of the gods known as limoncello has long been a signature after-dinner digestive for those along the Amalfi Coast. After the tutelage of his grandmother and mother in Italy, Scarmiglia learned to take his own spin on the classic spirit by creating a mix to macerate for two weeks and combining it with simple syrup. Native lemons added to the special flavor even after Scarmiglia moved to the states, creating an Americanized version of the drink while serving as executive chef at Circo at Bellagio, a diamond in the restaurant empire of the Maccioni family (which includes one of New York's most coveted reservations, Le Cirque).
The recipe proved so popular that he continued the tradition upon becoming executive chef at Sirio Ristorante. Sommeliers there encouraged him to test new flavors. After experimenting with a multitude of ingredients, including tomatoes, cucumbers and even flower petals, Scarmiglia perfected the flight he serves today:- Classic limoncello: A faithful interpretation of Italy's famous after-dinner liqueur. Perfected for years and paired with a coconut macaroon, Scarmiglia's recipe transports guests to the heart of Italy with just one taste.
- Tangerinecello: For something fruity with a kick. The 'cello master takes a unique approach with the cookies petit four by baking them with polenta, bringing the flavors of the dessert and the 'cello together in perfect harmony.
- Berrycello: Scarmiglia's Berrycello brings fresh berry taste to life with a kick. The raspberry vacherin and creme anglaise served alongside heighten the berry flavor, creating an explosion of tastes that would delight anyone's palate.
- Cocoacello: "Who doesn't love chocolate?" Scarmiglia asks of his Cocoacello, which is paired with cocoa nib cookies. For those pining for vanilla, though, there's no need to skip this one. To enhance flavor and smoothness of certain 'cellos, Scarmiglia recommends adding a dash of vanilla; in this case, the detail perfects this chocolate-infused concoction.
- Trufflecello: The most requested flavor on the menu. The classic sweetness of limoncello reaches new heights when complemented by earthy undertones of the elusive umami. Scarmiglia further plays on foodies' love for truffle mushrooms by pairing it with a truffle chocolate brownie.

is on now..talking football pats,spygate and all...good stuff..Hopefully a podcast will be available later..good +ve stuff.
Mike asked Jimmy if he stole signals, Jimmy laughed and said of course he did as did everyone else who wanted to gain an edge.
the hosts were surprised. they asked repeatedly if he videotaped and he said he did. He said marty's assistant was the best in the business and howard mudd who was with the chiefs then and is now the o line coach of the colts is one of the best in the business.He said BB was wrong in continuing after the memo went out otherwise he used the camera himself 18 yrs ago and they used it in press boxes and all. Hopefully football historians like Dr Z in si.com will notice this and dig further instead of just talking up the old time football as if it never happened before. Talking abt pats he said BB came down to florida this summer and they went fishing and JJ asked BB that everyone thinks you guys are very good and a SB team and BB replies "Jimmy, I THINK we are good " ...
One of the most misrepresented facts about this issue is this "memo" that Goodell sent out. It was sent out Sept 6, 2006- last season, not this season. And all last season, Goodell never acted on it. Why should BB believe the newbie commish was suddenly going to take this non-issue seriously when it had been going on for 20+ years without league control or intervention? This was the biggest joke in league history, and I blame Goodell for being incompetent. He should have fined the Jets for leaking league business to the press, and sent out another of his "memos". Instead he caved into our hypocritical competitors and almost tarnished a legend by his own incompetence and lack of experience.
It's great what he said but it will get buried in the media while the Easterbrook columns of the world get hyped up.
Z quoted an anonomous source this past week as saying: I will repeat in bold my favorite part. [E]ven the most saintly of coaches and GMs, the ones who command the highest respect, are guilty. Does anyone want to hazard a guess as to whom they are talking about? I figured that BB was confident about this team, but it wasn't until I was taken aback by his comment in my sig that I realized just how much so. It reaks of, "We're going to kill these guys" and I saw it right away, which is why I was so quick to dump my Welkermania sig.
Jimmy Johnson is also a personal confident of BB.. BB spends time with after a SB win to pick his brain on how to keep it going.
I believe you are under a misimpression due to intentionally misleading reporting, primarily from ESPN. Reviewing the NFL's statement following the Patriots' punishment... NFL version: (http://wgr550.com/bills/fullstory.php?id=2650). As you can see, no reference is made to this season whatsoever. The confusion arose due to cleverly misleading reports on ESPN, manipulated to cast the Pats' "violation" in a more egregious light. For example: ESPN version: (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3024271&campaign=rss&source=ESPNHeadlines) Do you see how ESPN deliberately manipulated the dates to make the Pats' violation seem more egregious to a careless reader? And how people around the country have jumped on this false information as true? If the NFL sent this "memo" out last season, and did zero to enforce it all year, why should BB, who has witnessed the same practices going on unimpeded throughout the NFL for 30 years, believe this PR goon was going to rob him of a 1st rd pick? It's totally ludicrous, and demonstrates the degree to which Goodell crumbled in the face of a Jet-induced media firestorm, the first crisis of his tenure which called for a cool head, a spinal column and a scrotum. Goodell spit the bit, earning the lifelong epithet of Doofus in Chief.
Here's my transcript of the JJ interview: Q: How about the spying thing Jimmy. You're a coach does that bother you what Belichick did? JJ: Oh please. I've said it on our show. Eighteen years ago a scout for the chiefs told me what they did, and he said what you need to do is just take your camera and you go and zoom in on the signal caller and that way you can sync it up. The problem is that if they're not on the press box side you can't do it from the press box, you have to do it from the sideline. This was 18 years ago. Q: You think the NFL came down too hard on them? JJ: No, no, I said it on the show. He was wrong for doing it for the simple reason that the league knew this was going on not ust in New England but around the league. And the league sent out the memorandum to all of the teams saying you cannot do this. And os that's when Bill Belichick was wrong. After he got the memorandum saying don't do it any more, he did it. Q: Did you ever steal signals? JJ: Oh in a heartbeat, yeah. Yes I did. Q: Via video, Jimmy? Or no? JJ: Oh yeah, I did it with video and so did a lot of other teams in the league. Just to make sure that you could study it and take your time, because you're going to play the other team the second time around. But a lot of coaches did it, this was commonplace. Q: But did you do it by taping the signal caller? JJ: Yeah. Q: Oh you did. JJ: That's what I'm saying. I was saying one of Marty Schottenheimers scouts, Mark Hatley, who has passed away now, Mark told me that's how they did it, and Howard Mudd their offensive line coach with Kansas City, who now coaches for Tony Dungy, he was the best in the entire league at stealing signals. Q: Where'd you put your guy who was videotaping? Where was he? JJ: My guy was up with my camera crew in the press box. So you'd just put an extra camera up with your camera crew in the press box who zoomed in on the signal callers. That's the best way to do it, but anyway you can't always do that because the press box camera crew might be on the same side as the opposing team. If they're on the same side as the opposing team that's when you need to do it from the sideline. Q: Also with some operations and some teams they have equipment set up within the stadium so they can just run it ack and check what's going on during the game anyway. JJ: Oh I'll tell you [laughing] some of the stuff that goes on it's almost comical. Q: Jimmy don't you think using contraptions like that goes against the spirit of football? JJ: Well that's why the league put in that you can't use any electronic equipment, during the game, locker room, press box, sideline, this type of thing. They ruled against it and again that's why Bill Belichick was wrong. Q: How much of an advantage would it give them? JJ: Well you know Bradshaw and I had a talk back and forth on this. I did it a few times and then I stopped doing it because I didn't think we got much out of it to be honest with you. But games are so close... If it gives you one single play in the ballgame it might be the difference. But again, he was wrong for doing it after the memorandum was sent out by the league, because the league knew that other teams were doing it. And so... it was a commonplace thing though.
There are going to be a lot of people with egg on their faces as the cameragate brouha settles down. Jimmy Johnson's comments are not surprising one bit. Godell was smart not to suspend BB, for you can't take back a suspension. He can take back his decision to penalize the Pats a first-round pick, though. It wouldn't surprise me if a statement comes out later this year that he's reconsidered the punishment and decided to take a 3rd or lesser round pick instead. Comments like Jimmy's will show that what BB did was not as outrageous (and unique) as initially thought (and magnified by the haters) and I don't think Jimmy will be the last to say such things. Regards, Chris
Peter King says: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/peter_king/09/19/mob.mentality0924/index.html (bolding added) From CBSSportsline: http://sportsline.com/nfl/story/10348762 Of course, "According to one GM" is a pretty shady source... but if this is an intentional misrepresentation, it does not seem to be limited to any one source, and it does not seem to be limited to one point of view. Is there any public source where we can research these memos, or are they basically private correspondence from the league to the owners/coaches? You may be right, but it's also possible some underling at ESPN started using a "Sept 6 memo" thinking it was the second memo that reinforced the 9/6/2006 memo, without knowing that the 9/6 date applied to the earlier one. Finally, it's possible that both memos went out on 9/6 in different years (although very unlikely.) Regardless, it's difficult to ascertain the date of the reminder memo from what you've posted. It's also a leap to conclude that no reminder memo existed. But I'm definitely open to that being the case. PFnV
Are you positive the "2006" wasn't a typo? Stranger things have happened, but I find it amazing that so many people would get that detail wrong. Regards, Chris
Chris, with all due respect, in a million years this would never happen. They cannot possibly rescind the punishment. I'd love it if you were right, but this seems like a fantasy to me.
Oh yeah, and if the Colts were taping, tell me that you would have just wanted the league to send out another memo and not take any action. C'monn, can you say it without laughing?

Chief Minister sees no significant improvement in power supply position
Failing to find any significant improvement in the power supply situation, Chief Minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy has ordered release of Rs. 600 crore to AP Transco within a week to continue bulk power purchase from open market.
Power shortage is hovering around 60 million units a day now even after a slight drop in demand due to rain. Overall, 216 mu is being supplied while the demand hovers around 276 mu.
Mr. Reddy, who reviewed the power situation with senior officials here on Friday, also asked the Finance Department to consider the immediate requirements of Transco to manage the situation. Out of the Rs. 600 crore to be released now, a sum of Rs. 300 crore was earmarked for purchase of RNLG (re-gasified liquefied natural gas). The remaining amount would be utilised to clear the arrears payable by local bodies to power utilities.
Transco CMD Hiralal Samaria said that an indent had been made to GAIL to get RLNG from next week to operate a capacity of 500 MW.
He said the prospects were rather bleak for lifting or reducing the power cuts being implemented for four hours daily for Hyderabad, Tirupati, Visakhapatnam and Warangal; five hours for district headquarters and other municipal corporations; six hours for towns and municipalities; six hours for mandal headquarters and; for more than eight hours for rural areas.
At the meeting, the Chief Minister prescribed small power purchases wherever available and restoration of 1,400 MW from the NTPC's 2,000-MW capacity Simhadri station at Visakhapatnam to mitigate the hardship to consumers. The daily coal supply to the plant had gone up to nine rakes from six.
Keywords: AP Transco, power purchase, AP Power shortage

All those tweens distraught by that dramatic Kristen Stewart Robert Pattinson breakup this summer: never fear! Word on the street – OK, in the oh-so-accurate celebrity gossip news – is that the "Twilight" pair are back together. Or at least have had a "dramatic makeup" in Los Angeles, according to Us Weekly.
Yes, that sound you just heard was the delighted gasp of "Twilight" fans everywhere. (Along with the outraged protests of those who are still furious at Ms. Stewart – aka Bella – for doing wrong to her vampire beau. I mean, to the actor who plays her vampire beau.)
See, parents, as we explained some months ago, Stewart and Mr. Pattinson are the stars of the film version of Stephanie Meyer's young adult book sensation, "Twilight." Stewart plays Bella, the female protagonist, who has fallen in love with Pattinson's character, Edward, a vampire. (Just go with it.)

It seems gcc does the optimization I described above, but it still end up with more conditional jumps and an extra imul and a few incl than an straight forward if version. It does a pretty good job, but we are asking too much :) Cheers, -- Hui Zhou
