Happy Birthday, Chuck Berry!!!
Friday, October 18, 2013
Happy Birthday to Chuck Berry, the "Father Of Rock N' Roll," who turns 87-years-old today (October 18th)!!! Berry, who pioneered the rock genre with his unique storytelling and clever use of poetics, will undoubtedly be remembered for his signature two-note, guitar-bending lick, variations of which opened up his classic '50s hits "Johnny B. Goode," "Roll Over Beethoven," "Little Queenie," "Carol," and many more.
Berry's music bridged the gap between rockabilly and blues on songs like "Maybellene," and broke the color barrier on classics such as "You Never Can Tell" and "School Days," which had more to do with the problems of white American teens than those of segregated blacks living in the south.
George Thorogood has been a lifelong fan of Berry's and says that as far as rock artists go, Berry is a complete and unbeatable package: "With Chuck Berry, you've got the all-time four-star player. He's a great performer, a great writer, a great singer, and a great player. Not many people have that, all four things combined. Some can sing great, but they don't write. Some write, but they don't sing. Chuck Berry was the first of that. There's only a handful of them. John Fogerty -- one, the Beatles. . . There's very few that have all that covered. And I'm talking about great writing and great performing. I'm not just talking about, 'Oh, he plays guitar pretty good or he writes pretty good.' (He's) up there on the top with all four things. . . Arguably, probably the greatest rock n' roll star ever."
Berry paved the way for the major songwriters of the '60s, such as Bob Dylan, John Lennon and Paul McCartney, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, Brian Wilson and Pete Townshend, who were inspired by Berry and his peers Little Richard and Buddy Holly to compose and perform their own material. Chuck Berry's resurgence in the mid-'60s was due largely to his influence on the British invasion.
Although the Beatles only released two Berry covers on their official albums ("Roll Over Beethoven" and "Rock And Roll Music"), their 1994 Live At The BBC compilation included six additional Berry covers that were often performed in their nightclub repertoire: "Too Much Monkey Business," "I Got To Find My Baby," "Carol," "Johnny B. Goode," "Memphis, Tennessee," and "Sweet Little Sixteen." The group's "I Saw Her Standing There" actually borrowed the bassline from Berry's "Little Queenie."
The Rolling Stones' debut single was a cover of Berry's "Come On." They went on to cover eight other Berry classics, including "Carol," "Sweet Little Sixteen," "You Can't Catch Me," "Bye Bye Johnny," "Little Queenie," "Talkin' About You," "Around And Around," and "Let It Rock."
In 2006, Berry's 1987 concert documentary, Hail! Hail! Rock 'n' Roll, was released in both two- and four-DVD expanded editions. The movie chronicled the concert and rehearsals around Berry's 60th birthday concert in St. Louis, and featured performances by the Rolling Stones' Keith Richards, Eric Clapton, Linda Ronstadt, and others.
Berry says that while looking back on his career, he ultimately has very few complaints: "The good life outweighs. . . now, I don't say bad, I say the indifferent lives that I've had. It just makes me happy to know that nobody's gonna live a perfect life -- nobody ever has. So I'm thankful that I've come this far, this long, this good."
Chuck Berry will next perform on November 13th in St. Louis, Missouri at Blueberry Hill's Duck Room.

Seems like some app developers are already betting on Tizen:
That, and there are phone with better battery life (motorola rzr m of a colleague had a full 2 days of battery life), and it definitely isn't enough for success.
But yes, that makes car/TV/tablets more accessible for non-major systems (except for vendor lock-in, when you have to pay your apps again if you change OS provider).
Also, one important thing is that Amazon is a software minded company, while Samsung isn't. They make incredible hardware, but suck at deploying large IT projects (different mentality, skills and way of working required).
Seems like some app developers are already betting on Tizen:
In just one of the major battery performance comparos done by GSMArena I recall it standing well clear of others (aside from iPhone), & that was only with PR1.1 IIRC.
N900 was worse, much worse, but then again, in many ways it was treated as even more of an afterthought than the N9*, plus it had a removable/upgradeable battery that it could fall back on.
*except at least with it, the team had the foresight to release much more important code chunks
stupid 1min limit >.>
*but most of them could be mitigated or avoided completely once you got to know all the quirks, not exactly "user-friendly" though.
I refresh IMAP (20min), calendar (4h) and RSS (daily), and sometimes chat, and it barely goes through the day. Same experience with 2 other people I know with this phone.
On the other hand, data is a huge consumer of power, because now my N900, connected on wifi but not syncing anything, has a battery life of 5 days!
In it's day the N9 was better than most others in that respect*, but only if you didn't hit one or more of several bugs, some were much worse than others, & most could be mitigated or avoided.
*& would've only got better if solid support had remained for much longer

UPDATE: This game has been shutdown and is no longer available
BattleForge Overview
BattleForge is an original game that mixes classic PC RTS (real time strategy) gameplay with a TCG (trading card game) concept. To EA and Phenonmic's credit, the two elements are made to work well, making BattleForge an enjoyable, unique MMO gaming experience. The production value of the game is what you would expect from a premium Western developer – the graphics are bright and vibrant, while the music score and voice acting only enhance the quality. Originally released as retail game with a free demo, BattleForge is now entirely free-to-play, with optional micro transactions for additional booster packs. Spell, building, and unit cards in Battleforge belong to one of four element types, and they are:
Fire - Aggressive cards that deal heavy damage.
Frost – Defensive cards. Frost units absorb damage well and have access to powerful towers.
Nature - Focused on control and creature cards. Nature has powerful siege weapons and units with healing abilities.
Shadow – Necromancy and destruction are the hallmarks of this element. Shadow creatures include the undead and wicked beings like witches.

BattleForge Review
By, Erhan Altay
It appears that Electronic Arts is the first major Western gaming company to embrace the free-to-play concept. First released as a retail game with a free demo available, BattleForge is now a free-to-play game under EA's "Play 4 Free" label. This announcement was made back in May 2009, making BattleForge EA's first major F2P title, followed shortly by the official release of Battlefield Heroes a month later. BattleForge has a unique game concept that takes the tried-and-true RTS format, but adds the twist of trading card games to it. The end result is a fast-paced strategy game, complete with single player campaigns and varied multiplayer options.
Getting Started
BattleForge is developed and maintained by Phenomic – a German studio acquired by EA back in 2006. This may explain why one of the servers caters specifically to German gamers. The other is a Global server. The game launcher selects the Global server as the default option, and I recommend players stick with this choice. Players can log using their universal EA account, and, luckily for me, I already had one from my days playing Ultima Online. For those who don't already have an EA account, sign-up is quick and painless, with your email address serving as the login name. The game client can be obtained right on the official site's homepage, but at less than 90 mb, it only installs the patcher, which then downloads the rest of the game. After the lengthy patch process, players can jump in and create their SkyLord. Character creation is limited in BattleForge, but this is mainly because players are not directly represented as units during gameplay. Instead, they play the part of SkyLords who command mortal forces from the havens. Besides naming your character, there are a few dozen avatar images to chose from, and the option to skip the tutorial map. New players are advised to play through the introduction map, as it does a great job at explaining the basics and giving players a first glimpse at what BattleForge as to offer.
Welcome, SkyLord
A single stage serves as the game's tutorial, and it does a phenomenal job at introducing players to how BattleForge works. A fellow Skylord, Moon, guides players step-by-step starting with unit summoning, movement, COMBAT, and eventually on to capturing Power Wells and Monuments. Voice acting helps keep the tutorial engaging, and the entire introduction stage takes about twenty minutes to complete, with a boss battle awaiting players at the end. Veteran gamers will be able to tell within minutes that BattleForge plays very similarly to a real-time strategy game (RTS), especially Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War. Like Dawn of War, resource production is streamlined with the use of strategic points that generate power automatically for as long as they are under your control (or until they're depleted.) There are two types of strategic points – Power Wells, which generate points that are required to cast cards, and Monuments, which grant players an orb of one of the four elemental types (Fire, Frost, Shadow, or Nature.) BattleForge takes things a step further, and even streamlines the process of spawning units and structures. Players simply click cards from their deck, displayed on the bottom of the screen, and click somewhere on the screen to summon them. The units show up instantly, but start in a weakened state if summoned too far away from strategic points under your control. After the tutorial, players should have a good sense of how the game works, and will be able to jump into the game's PvE campaigns or participate in PvP duels.
The Forge
The Forge acts as a sort of central hub from where players can access other areas of the game. It also serves as a testing ground where players can freely use cards with no cooldowns or power costs. I summoned a ton of units, then sent waves of AI controlled enemies at my army. It reminded me of my days messing around with the map editor in Age of Empires. New players start the game with three premade decks – a Frost/Shadow, Fire/Nature, and the tutorial Frost/Fire decks. Tool-tips in the form of yellow questions will pop up during your time at the Forge, which explain each of the menus. Deck design in BattleForge isn't too complicated, since the maximum card limit is set at twenty. Repeat cards are encouraged, since it allows multiple uses of the card without having to wait for it to cool down. New cards are rewarded at the end of PvE scenarios, and it's for this reason that I recommend new players stick with the PvE story mode for their first play session. But, playing story mode doesn't necessarily mean you'll be playing alone. Many scenarios require multiple participants working cooperatively. In fact, some missions require twelve players to work together, though they are split among three maps taking place simultaneously, since each map only supports up to four players.
In the typical RTS fashion, each scenario begins with a voice-acted piece of game lore. The story of the first campaign follows the adventures of an unlikely hero, who has just returned to his homeland to find it infected by a force known as Twilight. Apparently, this power has driven the inhabitants into violence, along with physically altering their appearance. If you're a fan of the RTS genre in general, and the single player campaigns they include in particular, then you really won't mind the rather poorly written story of BattleForge. Sure, each mission is essentially the same as the next (summon units, take control of power wells, summon stronger units, rinse and repeat), but getting all this for free on top of a fast-paced competitive PvP game makes BattleForge all the sweeter. Many larger video game review sites gave BattleForge modest scores, which was understandable (since it was originally a $50 retail game), but now that it's free, the same content suddenly looks much brighter.
Magical Duels!
Besides cooperative play in the PvE mode, players can challenge one another to 1v1 or 2v2 duels, which are either ranked or unranked. Unranked duels don't provide experience but are useful for testing new deck concepts. There are currently over two-hundred cards in BattleForge, which fall into one of three categories. Unit cards are used to summon troops and are the most basic type. Building cards include towers and other supportive structures. Spell cards do not place anything on the map – instead they have some temporary effect. Many spells inflict damage to units in a selected area, while others heal your own forces. Proper use of spell cards is the mark of an experienced Skylord, and can quickly turn a battle in one's favor. Like Urban Rivals (a browser based TCG), and PoxNora, players in BattleForge can only purchase booster packs using real money. The premium currency (titled BattleForge Points), can be purchased at rates of $9.99 for 1,000 or $19.99 for 2,250. With each booster costing 250 BFP, it comes to about $2.50 for a pack of eight cards. But, paying isn't the only way to improve your game. Gold, which is earned by completing scenarios, can be used to upgrade your existing cards, improving their attributes. The ability to upgrade cards like this gives free players long-term goals, and, along with keen use of the auction house, allows them some chance at competing with premium players. On a final note, if our overview, screenshots, videos, and this review thus far have failed to properly describe BattleForge, then let me just finish by saying BattleForge is Magic the Gathering meets RTS. As a recovering addict of both, I highly recommend this game.
Final Verdict: Great
BattleForge is a high-quality RTS title with fast-paced gameplay, thanks to the unique trading card system. Very few video games have been able to pull off card based gameplay. Fortunately, BattleForge is one of them. With plenty of single player content (including several full length campaigns), this is a strategy game that all fans of the genre should try. The game itself is incredibly fun, but the game's community has been in decline.

This teen is going places Next up for ORMS geography bee champ is a written exam
Friday, January 11, 2013
DURHAM — Emerging as the champion of the school level competition of the 2013 National Geographic Bee held at Oyster River Middle School, Russell Miles, 14, said remembering facts about geography comes fairly easy to him.
"I didn't really study that much," he said. "I just kind of remember things from class and reading books."
He said his answer of "Istanbul" was one he simply remembered from somewhere. To his surprise, one answer he thought he would recognize, "the Yangtze River" escaped him.
The two went head-to-head writing their answers to each question with dry erase markers on white boards. After 15 seconds, each held up their board to display their answers to Nate Groves, moderator and eighth-grade social studies teacher.
The geography champion will move on to take a written exam to determine eligibility to become one of 100 state competitors and hopefully advance to the state bee held at Keene State College on April 5.
This is the 25th annual National Geographic Bee and it kicked off in November with schools around the country participating and declaring winners. The 2013 bee is sponsored by Google.
In addition, Miles received a medal.
All state-level winners are eligible to win the national championship and its first prize, a $25,000 college scholarship, at the national competition May 20-22 in Washington, D.C.

including both humble bundle game sets, everything by frictional games, and quite a few oss ones as well.
also all 3 unigine benchmarks render fine (albiet slowly... but with a 4830 thats not really that suprising.)
Putting the "Wine is the be all, end all of Linux gaming" issue aside, I'm wondering why the OP refuses to even consider Wine itself would be at fault rather than fglrx.
When AA was artificially disabled on ATI hardware in Batman: Arkham Azylum, did anyone blame Catalyst?
Hi Mr James, Eldar & Yall,
Mr James, I admire your bravery! FGLRX, for Linux only use, is still lacking for consumers; vsync in composited is an ugly mess and has been for years. The ATI/AMD driver team is obviously too small. Conversely, Nvidia's driver does this and has done this, for years. Since ATI/AMD sell into the consumer space, but do not support this space correctly and in a timely fashion, with functional drivers-I call them out as a rip-off with you. (As for my 5850 & 4870, thanks a lot for offering a refund, on the Linux FAIL guys. Eldar, you may also get ripped off, if you invest in a "future possibility.")
Mr Q is a nice guy and for the last, um, three years, he has been saying the second coming is "next month." Bless his cotton socks. I could set my clock, by that prognostication. :-)
For the benefit of the ATI users, I hope Q is right next month....
Reminds me of Alice in Wonderland. "The rule is jam yesterday, jam tomorrow, BUT NEVER JAM TODAY!"
If you want your card, with the most functionality today, Nvidia GTX 570 is your best working now in the real world choice.
The case with Wine is murky. Here we have the usual, "he said, she said," games, of two streams of software devs, to wit FGLRX & WINE.
Fact now is, FGLRX and WINE, play like rubbish. Dump/Sell the dam thing and put that $ towards a working solution. Nvidia.
Ignore the legions of ATI/AMD zombies in these parts. I treat them like a really bad, tragic, screen saver, shudder and move on....
GreekGeek :-)
Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one getting burned. --The Buddha.
All Hail nVIDIA!! Death to ATI!!! Oh wait... it's already dead. I mean AMD!!!
Now on a more serious note, there should be a poll on the site to gather just how many people have problems with either fglrx or nvidia drivers. I see posts where people also complain about nvidia, but no one pays much attention to those. Everytime there is a post like "HD 5770 doesn't work, fuck ati" then everybody likes to take a swing at fglrx. I had 3 nvidia and 2 ati gpus so far, and not one of them showed any problems. I suspect I'm not alone, but judging from posts like this one, it seems to be practically impossible to run an amd gpu on linux.
OSMOS plays smooth for me here on radeon hd 4290 by the way, catalyst 10.11.

Jessica Alba did what to lose the baby weight?
CNN — Between all of the cleanses, juice fasts and intense workouts, we're not really shocked by what celebrities do to keep trim.
But Jessica Alba has come up with a different - and old-school - method.
Alba, 31, has two kids with her husband Cash Warren: there's four-year-old Honor, and 1-year-old Haven. In order to get back in shape after having her girls, Alba reached for a girdle ... two of them.
"It was brutal; it's not for everyone," she told Net-A-Porter's magazine. "I wore a double corset day and night for three months."
As you can imagine, "it was sweaty," Alba said, but also "worth it."
If that sounds extreme to you, Alba probably isn't sweating it. As she tells Net-A-Porter, motherhood has made her more fearless, particularly when it comes to her acting.
Working on the "Sin City" sequel, "Sin City: A Dame to Kill For," "was so opposite to what I do [at home]," Alba said.
"My approach to acting now is so different -- I'm fearless because I have nothing to lose," she went on. "Before [children] my identity was wrapped up in every decision -- now, I don't care. It could be a pile of s*** and you could think it was the worst thing you ever saw, but I still had the best experience."

Great Reds of Toscana – Vino Nobile di Montepulciano
June 25, 2009 at 11:43 am 5 comments
This is part two of my entries on the great Tuscan reds. I began with Chianti and will move on soon to Brunello di Montalcino and then Bolgheri.
The "noble wine" of Montepulciano is one of Italy's most famous reds; the name came partly from the fact that the nobility owned the land and vineyards in this area in southeastern Tuscany and that the best wines were reserved for their use. Thankfully, today consumers can enjoy this historical red wine as well. (note: Montepulciano in this instance refers to the city of Montepulciano in Tuscany; this has nothing to do with the Montepulciano grape, most commonly found in the region of Abruzzo.)
Vino Nobile di Montepulciano is made primarily from the Sangiovese grape, known locally as Prugnolo Gentile. The minimum percentage of Sangiovese in this wine is 70%; while it is allowed to produce a Vino Nobile completely from Sangiovese, this is rare. For blending, some producers favor the traditional local varieties such as Canaiolo or Mammolo, while others opt for international varieties such as Merlot, Syrah or Cabernet Sauvignon.
The wine is released two years after the vintage date (at earliest); there is a lighter version called Rosso di Montepulciano that can be sold after one year. As with other Tuscan reds, oak aging can be in large casks known as botti grandi or in smaller barrels known as barriques.
Top producers of Vino Nobile di Montepulciano include:
- Poliziano
- Dei
- Carpineto
- Salchetto
- Fattoria del Cerro
- Fassati
- Avignonesi
- Romeo
- Bindella
- Boscarelli
- Cannetto
- Vadipiatta
While Vino Nobile was considered a great wine in the 1800s and the early 1900s, its image had diminished by the mid to late 20th century. Chianti had taken its place as far as popularity and Brunello di Montalcino had surplanted it in terms of quality and renown (this despite the fact that Vino Nobile di Montepulciano was one of the first wines in Italy to be awarded a DOCG designation in 1966.) Over the past 20 years however, local producers have concentrated on making better wines, ones with greater depth of fruit and more refined tannins. Today, while Vino Nobile di Montepulciano still stands in the shadows of other more famous Tuscan reds, the wines are gaining new fame, especially cru bottlings such as "Asinone" from Poliziano, "Antica Chiusina" from Fattoria del Cerro and "Vigneto di Poggio Sant'Enrico" from Carpineto.
Most bottlings of Vino Nobile di Montepulciano are made to be consumed within 5-7 years after the vintage date. The cru bottlings often drink well for 10-12 years, depending on the quality of the vintage. The best recent vintages include 1999, 2001 and 2004, while 2007 looks to be a remarkable vintage as well (the wines from 2007 will be released over the next few years.)
Vino Nobile di Montepulciano pairs well with poultry, game, veal, pork and lighter red meats. It also works well with many types of pastas, especially pici, a broad, hand-rolled pasta, that is a specialty of the local trattorie of the Montepulciano area.

if u can please refer me to a great vino nobile di montepulciano at a reasonable price? Graze
Fred Giordano
There are a few that are nationally imported, including Fattoria del Cerro and Ruffino "Lodola Nuova." Prices vary according to state taxes and other factors, but I would think these wines would cost between $22-28 per bottle.
Try Cantine innocenti, hard to find in US, but worth the a try. Probably around 30 per bottle, a great price for a terrific wine.
thank you both for the advice on vino nobile di montepulciano. had the pleasure of visiting montepulciano and montalcino and the general toscano region. great memories of the area, the food, people, wine and culture. stayed in siena and toured the area with family.
grazie mille

Aventino is a less touristy area of Rome, nevertheless there are many historic landmarks here. You can visit the Baths of Caracalla built between A.D. 212 and 216 and used by the romans until the 6th century, or the Pyramid of Cestius built in 12 B.C. - the tomb of Gaius Cestius, a powerful magistrate of ancient Rome. Discover some of the most authentic Roman flavors at Testaccio Market – find your favorite delicacies, then go picnic at one of the parks overlooking the Tiber river. And just for fun, try the Roman lie detector, - the Bocca della Verità in Santa Maria in Cosmedin.Find out more about Aventino
A short walk from the Spanish steps this area of Rome is layered thick with history. Centuries of successive generations have plundered or adapted the palaces, temples and townhouses of their forefathers, creating the swirling mix of living history that is such a distinctive aspect of modern Rome. A fine example of this is the Piazza Barberini, named after Palazzo Barberini, with Bernini's masterpiece, Fontana del Tritone, at the center of the square. From here you can stroll up Via Veneto, one of the most famous and luxurious streets in Rome and background to the famous movie by Fellini La Dolce Vita.Find out more about Barberini
The area around the Colosseum, Campitelli, is the least populated neighborhood of Rome, noted for its museums and archaeological sites, that include the most important temple of ancient Rome (Temple of Jupiter Optimus Maximus), as well as the Roman Forum and the Colosseum, two of Ancient Rome's greatest monuments. This is where you will find the Palatine Hill, the site where the she-wolf found Romulus and Remus, the mythological founders of the city.Find out more about Colosseum
The area south of Rome's central station Termini, Esquilino, is the site of many architectural treasures, with ancient churches whose interiors take your breath away, museums, elegant squares, and popular markets. As authentic as it gets, Esquilino has a mixed population, with a large Chinese immigrant neighborhood, where you'll find both typical trattorias, as well as ethnic restaurants. Don't miss the fourth century baptistery in San Giovanni in Laterano, the cathedral of Rome.Find out more about Esquilino
Nomentano is a student favorite, as the site of the prestigious Università La Sapienza. It is also an ideal neighborhood for those who travel on a budget, as it boasts numerous student-friendly trattorias, unpretentious cafés, and street markets with food, clothing and more. At night, Nomentano turns into party central, with numerous clubs, and people drinking in the open. And yes, there are enough historic landmarks here too. It's Rome, after all.Find out more about Nomentano
Old Rome is the site of many ancient churches, traditional trattorias and lovely piazzas and streets to wander about. Via dei Coronari is renowned for its posh antique dealers, while Piazza della Rotonda bustles with tourists, who come to admire the glorious Pantheon. Campo de' Fiori is party central for college students and tourists at night, and Piazza Navona is ideal for shopping and watching street performers. On the other side of Via del Corso you can make a wish at the breathtaking Fontana di Trevi, walk up the Spanish steps in Piazza di Spagna or enjoy luxury shopping in Via Condotti.Find out more about Old Rome
The Vatican neighborhood was once the site of Emperor Nero's circus and a place where Christians, including St Peter, were martyred. Today it is the center of the Catholic Church and home to the Pope. Since 1929 the Vatican has also been a state within a city, complete with its own pike-wielding army – the Swiss Guard. The smallest independent country in the world holds the treasures of the Vatican Museum with its remarkable Sistine Chapel by Raphael. A long wall connects the Vatican with Castel Sant'Angelo or the Mausoleum of Hadrian as it's real name is. Built as a tomb for the Emperor Hadrian, later used as a fortress by the popes, it is today a museum.Find out more about The Vatican
On the other side of the River Tiber from the Centro Storico, Trastevere can't compete on landmarks, but its narrow, cobbled streets, are more than a match in terms of charm and atmosphere. The trasteverini regard themselves as the only true Romans and celebrate their distinctiveness. Traditionally this was a relaxed, easy-going and working-class district; although it's increasingly home to fashionable trattorias and wine bars it has retained much of that character.Find out more about Trastevere
The area around Villa Borghese is lined with palazzos and villas, mausoleums, museums, galleries, and historic landmarks. In the magnificent Borghese Gardens you can enjoy beautiful landscapes and visit the Galleria Borghese with its collection of sculpture, paintings and antiquities from the Borghese collection, including pieces from Bernini and Canova. If you approach the Borghese Gardens from Piazza del Popolo up the Pincio hill you can admire a beautiful view of Rome. At the edge of the Borghese Gardens, the Zoo, is the perfect family spot.Find out more about Villa Borghese

Paul Simon Prepping Jazz-Influence Album
Tuesday, March 26, 2013
Paul Simon is recording the followup to his criticality acclaimed 2011 release, So Beautiful Of So What. According to The Jakarta Globe, the jazz influenced set will feature such jazz notables as singer Bobby McFerrin and drummer Jack DeJohnette, although no release date has been announced.
Simon said that premiering new material usually depends on the type of venue he's playing, explaining, "What I find is that if you play new material and play it well, and if people can hear it clearly, then there's an excitement. I'm going to be playing at a festival and it's a big venue and it doesn't particularly lend itself to new songs that might require a lot of concentration. There's a general atmosphere of people having a good time, talking, drinking. Festivals are more fun when you play the more familiar songs, when you play up-tempo stuff so people can dance. I tend to make 'em more like rhythm shows.
Simon went on to say that these days, he sees himself as a part-time performer: "Most years, I do 30 shows. I am more with family than I am on the road."
Paul Simon told us that these days rather than thinking long and hard about what type of material he's writing, he allows the music to come about organically: "They come out the way the come out, I don't plan them. When I start a song, I don't know what it's going to be about, and my criterion is 'Did I say something that was true as far as I knew.' And that's all. And then try to make it sound interesting and maybe have a good rhythm so that people can feel rhythm while they're listening. Y'know, I think I'm a rhythm songwriter who doesn't write for dance."
Paul Simon will next perform on March 27th in Hindmarsh, Australia.

What's the point of genealogy project? Sure, it's to uncover a family's history. But the real mission should be clear: results!
Nobody wants to spend time on a project that goes nowhere. That's a frustrating experience that you shouldn't ever endure. So to kick of the new year, in the next few months I will focus on one genealogical project and show you how to get real, tangible results.
No, that may not mean having one hundred new ancestors' names by next Tuesday. I won't be getting into a specific record group or telling you where on the internet you can find that answer you've been looking years for.
Rather, I'd like us to put one project on the fast track and show you a proven method for organizing the research. In the next few months I will go into detail about:
1. Goals and Background Information
2. Timelines and Maps
3. Research Plans
4. Writing as a Research Method
We'll take each of these, break them down into small goals, and move forward slowly but surely. By the end of these four organizational steps, you'll be surprised at how much you do and don't know about your own research.
Step One: Goals and Background Information
1. Define your goal. We hear the word "goal" and our eyes roll back into our heads. It's as if we are conditioned to hate having goals. But take a deep breath. A goal is just a road with a sign saying, "This way to your destination." If you don't know where you are going, how are you going to get there?
Write down your goal. Be specific. Do NOT say, "I want to prove myself all the way to Charlemagne." Do say, "What happened to Uncle Dolphus after the Civil War?" or "Who are Grandma Eulalee's parents?" Even if you want to prove your relationship to a Revolutionary patriot, you still have to do it one generation at a time; make each generation a separate goal.
So, what is your goal? Write it down and refer to it frequently.
2. Write the background information. This is simply a summary of what you know about the ancestor and WHY you know it. It may be full of blanks like:
"Uncle Dolphus was born in 1836 in Livingston County, New York. He never married. He moved away from the family after ____. He was living in Solano County, California by 1881. He died _____."
The blanks are just as important as what you do know. They help us focus on the missing pieces.
3. Use footnotes. Be careful; sometimes the "facts" are actually misleading. That's where footnotes come in. The footnotes tell you and other researchers you may work with in the future how credible your information is. Do I know for sure that Uncle Dolphus never married? The footnote would say that it was a family story passed down by his great-niece. This isn't the greatest piece of information; the source is too far removed from the events. How do I know that Dolphus was in California? The footnote would show that he and the other siblings quitclaimed their father's home and property to his little sister, Anna. I have the probate file book, page number, and year. I use Elizabeth Shown Mills' Evidence! or Evidence Explained! to keep my footnotes consistent. Use any footnoting system you want, just make sure you are citing each fact you claim, and where it came from.
4. Collect as much info as possible. Where does the data come from? You need to go digging in your own house. In my case, it almost felt like archaeology: the strata of paper and photos was so thick! I dug out all the paper relating to Uncle Dolphus; all the printed pages, research notes, everything. Then I re-read it all. I realized I'd miss-remembered some things, such as thinking someone said he had died in San Diego County instead of Solano County. I found that I had some information I hadn't quite put together before. In writing out, in paragraph form, what I did know and footnoting each fact to say why I knew it, I got a better hold on the problem.
To summarize:
1. Make a focused goal.
2. Get out all the papers and information you have about that person or family.
3. Write your background information with blanks and footnoted citations.
Feel free to write and tell us how you've done, and if you learned anything new. We would love to hear from you.
Next month: Timelines and Maps.

Not Peer Reviewed
Henry V (Modern, Folio)
Enter the King, Humphrey [Duke of Gloucester], Bedford, Clarence, 144Warwick, Westmorland, and Exeter[, with attendants].
145King Henry Where is my gracious lord of Canterbury?
|Not here in presence.
|147King Henry
|Send for him, good uncle.
[Exit attendant.]
148Westmorland Shall we call in th'ambassador, my liege?
149King Henry Not yet, my cousin. We would be resolved,
150Before we hear him, of some things of weight
151That task our thoughts concerning us and France.
Enter [the] two Bishops[, Canterbury and Ely].
153Canterbury God and his angels guard your sacred throne
|154And make you long become it.
|155King Henry
|Sure we thank you.
156My learnèd lord, we pray you to proceed,
157And justly and religiously unfold
158Why the law Salic, that they have in France,
159Or should or should not bar us in our claim.
160And God forbid, my dear and faithful lord,
161That you should fashion, wrest, or bow your reading,
162Or nicely charge your understanding soul
163With opening titles miscreate, whose right
164Suits not in native colors with the truth.
165For God doth know how many now in health
166Shall drop their blood in approbation
167Of what your reverence shall incite us to.
168Therefore take heed how you impawn our person,
169How you awake our sleeping sword of war;
170We charge you in the name of God, take heed.
171For never two such kingdoms did contend
172Without much fall of blood, whose guiltless drops
173Are every one a woe, a sore complaint
174'Gainst him whose wrongs gives edge unto the swords
175That makes such waste in brief mortality.
176Under this conjuration speak, my lord,
177For we will hear, note, and believe in heart
178That what you speak is in your conscience washed
179As pure as sin with baptism.
180Canterbury Then hear me, gracious sovereign, and you peers
181That owe your selves, your lives and services
182To this imperial throne. There is no bar
183To make against your highness' claim to France
184But this, which they produce from Pharamond:
185"In terram Salicam mulieres ne succedant" --
186"No woman shall succeed in Salic land" --
187Which Salic land the French unjustly gloss
188To be the realm of France, and Pharamond
189The founder of this law and female bar.
190Yet their own authors faithfully affirm
191That the land Salic is in Germany,
192Between the floods of Saale and of Elbe,
193Where Charles the Great, having subdued the Saxons,
194There left behind and settled certain French
195Who, holding in disdain the German women
196For some dishonest manners of their life,
197Established then this law: to wit, no female
198Should be inheritrix in Salic land,
199Which Salic, as I said, 'twixt Elbe and Saale,
200Is at this day in Germany, called Meissen.
201Then doth it well appear the Salic law
202Was not devisèd for the realm of France,
203Nor did the French possess the Salic land
204Until four hundred one-and-twenty years
205After defunction of King Pharamond,
206Idly supposed the founder of this law,
207Who died within the year of our redemption
208Four hundred twenty-six; and Charles the Great
209Subdued the Saxons and did seat the French
210Beyond the river Saale in the year
211Eight hundred five. Besides, their writers say
212King Pepin, which deposèd Childeric,
213Did as heir general, being descended
214Of Blithild, which was daughter to King Chlothar,
215Make claim and title to the crown of France.
216Hugh Capet also, who usurped the crown
217Of Charles the Duke of Lorraine, sole heir male
218Of the true line and stock of Charles the Great,
219To find his title with some shows of truth --
220Though in pure truth it was corrupt and naught --
221Conveyed himself as th'heir to th'lady Lingare,
222Daughter to Charlemagne, who was the son
223To Louis the emperor, and Louis the son
224Of Charles the Great. Also King Louis the Tenth,
225Who was sole heir to the usurper Capet,
226Could not keep quiet in his conscience
227Wearing the crown of France till satisfied
228That fair Queen Isabelle, his grandmother,
229Was lineal of the lady Ermengarde,
230Daughter to Charles the foresaid Duke of Lorraine,
231By the which marriage the line of Charles the Great
232Was reunited to the crown of France.
233So that, as clear as is the summer's sun,
234King Pepin's title and Hugh Capet's claim,
235King Louis his satisfaction, all appear
236To hold in right and title of the female;
237So do the kings of France unto this day,
238Howbeit they would hold up this Salic law
239To bar your highness claiming from the female,
240And rather choose to hide them in a net
241Than amply to embar their crooked titles
242Usurped from you and your progenitors.
243King Henry May I with right and conscience make this claim?
244Canterbury The sin upon my head, dread sovereign.
245For in the book of Numbers is it writ:
246"When the man dies, let the inheritance
247Descend unto the daughter." Gracious lord,
248Stand for your own. Unwind your bloody flag,
249Look back into your mighty ancestors.
250Go, my dread lord, to your great-grandsire's tomb,
251From whom you claim; invoke his warlike spirit,
252And your great-uncle's, Edward the Black Prince,
253Who on the French ground played a tragedy,
254Making defeat on the full power of France
255Whiles his most mighty father on a hill
256Stood smiling to behold his lion's whelp
257Forage in blood of French nobility.
258Oh, noble English, that could entertain
259With half their forces the full pride of France
260And let another half stand laughing by,
261All out of work and cold for action!
262Ely Awake remembrance of these valiant dead,
263And with your puissant arm renew their feats.
264You are their heir, you sit upon their throne,
265The blood and courage that renownèd them
266Runs in your veins, and my thrice-puissant liege
267Is in the very May-morn of his youth,
268Ripe for exploits and mighty enterprises.
269Exeter Your brother kings and monarchs of the earth
270Do all expect that you should rouse yourself
271As did the former lions of your blood.
272Westmorland They know your grace hath cause, and means, and might;
273So hath your highness. Never king of England
274Had nobles richer and more loyal subjects,
275Whose hearts have left their bodies here in England
276And lie pavilioned in the fields of France.
277Canterbury Oh, let their bodies follow, my dear liege,
278With bloods and sword and fire to win your right.
279In aid whereof, we of the spiritualty
280Will raise your highness such a mighty sum
281As never did the clergy at one time
282Bring in to any of your ancestors.
283King Henry We must not only arm t'invade the French,
284But lay down our proportions to defend
285Against the Scot, who will make road upon us
286With all advantages.
287Canterbury They of those marches, gracious sovereign,
288Shall be a wall sufficient to defend
289Our inland from the pilfering borderers.
290King Henry We do not mean the coursing snatchers only,
291But fear the main intendment of the Scot,
292Who hath been still a giddy neighbor to us.
293For you shall read that my great-grandfather
294Never went with his forces into France
295But that the Scot on his unfurnished kingdom
296Came pouring like the tide into a breach
297With ample and brim fullness of his force,
298Galling the gleanèd land with hot assays,
299Girding with grievous siege castles and towns,
300That England, being empty of defense,
301Hath shook and trembled at th'ill neighborhood.
302Canterbury She hath been then more feared than harmed, my liege.
303For hear her but exampled by herself:
304When all her chivalry hath been in France
305And she a mourning widow of her nobles,
306She hath herself not only well defended,
307But taken and impounded as a stray
308The king of Scots, whom she did send to France
309To fill King Edward's fame with prisoner kings
310And make their chronicle as rich with praise
311As is the ooze and bottom of the sea
312With sunken wreck and sumless treasuries.
313Ely But there's a saying very old and true:
314"If that you will France win,
Then with Scotland first begin."
315For once the eagle England being in prey,
316To her unguarded nest the weasel Scot
317Comes sneaking, and so sucks her princely eggs,
318Playing the mouse in absence of the cat,
319To 'tame and havoc more than she can eat.
320Exeter It follows then the cat must stay at home,
321Yet that is but a crushed necessity,
322Since we have locks to safeguard necessaries
323And pretty traps to catch the petty thieves.
324While that the armèd hand doth fight abroad,
325Th'advisèd head defends itself at home.
326For government, though high and low and lower
327Put into parts, doth keep in one consent,
328Congreeing in a full and natural close
|329Like music.
|Therefore doth heaven divide
331The state of man in divers functions,
332Setting endeavor in continual motion,
333To which is fixèd, as an aim or butt,
334Obedience. For so work the honeybees,
335Creatures that by a rule in nature teach
336The act of order to a peopled kingdom.
337They have a king, and officers of sorts,
338Where some like magistrates correct at home;
339Others like merchants venture trade abroad;
340Others, like soldiers armèd in their stings,
341Make boot upon the summer's velvet buds,
342Which pillage they with merry march bring home
343To the tent-royal of their emperor,
344Who, busied in his majesties, surveys
345The singing masons building roofs of gold,
346The civil citizens kneading up the honey,
347The poor mechanic porters crowding in
348Their heavy burdens at his narrow gate,
349The sad-eyed justice with his surly hum
350Delivering o'er to executors pale
351The lazy yawning drone. I this infer:
352That many things, having full reference
353To one consent, may work contrariously.
354As many arrows loosèd several ways
355Come to one mark, as many ways meet in one town,
356As many fresh streams meet in one salt sea,
357As many lines close in the dial's center,
358So may a thousand actions once afoot
359End in one purpose, and be all well borne
360Without defeat. Therefore to France, my liege.
361Divide your happy England into four,
362Whereof take you one quarter into France,
363And you withal shall make all Gallia shake.
364If we, with thrice such powers left at home,
365Cannot defend our own doors from the dog,
366Let us be worried, and our nation lose
367The name of hardiness and policy.
368King Henry Call in the messengers sent from the dauphin.
[Exit attendant.]
369Now are we well resolved, and by God's help
370And yours, the noble sinews of our power,
371France being ours, we'll bend it to our awe,
372Or break it all to pieces. Or there we'll sit,
373Ruling in large and ample empery
374O'er France and all her almost kingly dukedoms,
375Or lay these bones in an unworthy urn,
376Tombless, with no remembrance over them.
377Either our history shall with full mouth
378Speak freely of our acts, or else our grave,
379Like Turkish mute, shall have a tongueless mouth,
380Not worshipped with a waxen epitaph. --
Enter Ambassadors of France.
382Now are we well prepared to know the pleasure
383Of our fair cousin dauphin, for we hear
384Your greeting is from him, not from the king.
385Ambassador May't please your majesty to give us leave
386Freely to render what we have in charge,
387Or shall we sparingly show you far off
388The dauphin's meaning and our embassy?
389King Henry We are no tyrant, but a Christian king,
390Unto whose grace our passion is as subject
391As is our wretches fettered in our prisons.
392Therefore with frank and with uncurbèd plainness
|393Tell us the dauphin's mind.
|Thus, then, in few:
395Your highness, lately sending into France,
396Did claim some certain dukedoms in the right
397Of your great predecessor, King Edward the Third.
398In answer of which claim, the prince our master
399Says that you savor too much of your youth,
400And bids you be advised, there's naught in France
401That can be with a nimble galliard won;
402You cannot revel into dukedoms there.
403He therefore sends you, meeter for your spirit,
404This tun of treasure, and in lieu of this,
405Desires you let the dukedoms that you claim
406Hear no more of you. This the dauphin speaks.
|407King Henry
|What treasure, uncle?
|Tennis balls, my liege.
409King Henry We are glad the dauphin is so pleasant with us.
410His present and your pains we thank you for.
411When we have matched our rackets to these balls,
412We will in France, by God's grace, play a set
413Shall strike his father's crown into the hazard.
414Tell him he hath made a match with such a wrangler
415That all the courts of France will be disturbed
416With chases. And we understand him well,
417How he comes o'er us with our wilder days,
418Not measuring what use we made of them.
419We never valued this poor seat of England,
420And therefore living hence, did give ourself
421To barbarous license, as 'tis ever common
422That men are merriest when they are from home.
423But tell the dauphin I will keep my state,
424Be like a king, and show my sail of greatness
425When I do rouse me in my throne of France.
426For that I have laid by my majesty
427And plodded like a man for working days,
428But I will rise there with so full a glory
429That I will dazzle all the eyes of France,
430Yea, strike the dauphin blind to look on us.
431And tell the pleasant prince this mock of his
432Hath turned his balls to gunstones, and his soul
433Shall stand sore chargèd for the wasteful vengeance
434That shall fly with them: for many a thousand widows
435Shall this, his mock, mock out of their dear husbands,
436Mock mothers from their sons, mock castles down,
437And some are yet ungotten and unborn
438That shall have cause to curse the dauphin's scorn.
439But this lies all within the will of God,
440To whom I do appeal, and in whose name
441Tell you the dauphin I am coming on
442To venge me as I may, and to put forth
443My rightful hand in a well-hallowed cause.
444So get you hence in peace, and tell the dauphin
445His jest will savor but of shallow wit
446When thousands weep more than did laugh at it. --
447Convey them with safe conduct. -- Fare you well.
Exeunt Ambassadors.
449Exeter This was a merry message.
450King Henry We hope to make the sender blush at it.
451Therefore, my lords, omit no happy hour
452That may give furtherance to our expedition,
453For we have now no thought in us but France,
454Save those to God, that run before our business.
455Therefore let our proportions for these wars
456Be soon collected, and all things thought upon
457That may with reasonable swiftness add
458More feathers to our wings, for, God before,
459We'll chide this dauphin at his father's door.
460Therefore let every man now task his thought
461That this fair action may on foot be brought.
