pronunciation of plants
Would anyone know of a good website that would help me learn how to say plant names correctly. It is almost embarrassing when I ask for a specific plant and the plant salesman will ask, "Do you mean....etc?"
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
A tall order! Have to say at the outset that none of the sites I've found have all the plant names. Here are the links I've amassed/bookmarked over the years. I think there's one or two that teach you how to pronounce Latin (the basics & all the rules), but not just botanical. That can get a bit complicated though.
Oh! Actually, it might be in your best interest (as I've found it works better) to know how to spell the plant names. You can pronounce them however you want that way (LOL) in order to write them on paper to show someone what you want!
This 1st one for self-pronouncing is broken up into 4 sections, but you can always backtrack to the original site for more info on other stuff (by deleting the last part of the URL up to the last slash mark (/).

E thru L
M thru P
Q thru Z

You can click on speaker icon to hear some plant names
Several of my links were old & no good anymore~oh well!
HTH! Also remember, there will always be others who insist on pronouncing it a different way than you. That's okay, as long as you understand which plant you're talking about!
For hardy shrubs and trees, Go here. On each species, click on the little music symbol at the top. Once you hear a variety of latin names you will be able to pronounce most plant names. Of course different people pronounce them differently, and usually not as a latin scholar would ;)

Wal-Mart's wage increase isn't only for good PR
Wal-Mart announced on Thursday it would give a raise to some 500,000 of its lowest-wage employees. It will make a big difference to those workers, but the company isn't spending $1 billion merely for the PR, or to mollify its labor force.
Michael Noel, associate professor of economics at Texas Tech, says it's a matter of retaining employees in a more competitive job market. "You will see more companies do this, because it is that time," says Noel. "The economy is improving, and when the economy improves, wages improve."
Zeynep Ton, adjunct associate professor of operations management at the MIT Sloan School of Management, says it's also a matter of improving the store experience.
David Schick, managing director of equity research for retail at Stifel, says this is why he suggested in a note last week that Wal-Mart invest more in its stores, even at the cost of lower earnings.
This kind of trade-off isn't always viewed as a good idea by shareholders, many of whom are focused on short term movements in the company's stock price. "There's a leap of faith that if you raise wages or costs to running your business that there will be an outcome that's better for the business," says Schick.
Employees take on the Wal-Mart wage increase
If you work at Wal-Mart, today's news may be encouraging. About half a million employees will get an hourly raise to $9 dollars an hour, and next year, it will go up to $10 an hour. A lot of people are doing the math, wondering what kind of difference that could make.
At a Wal-Mart Supercenter in Dayton, Ohio, a part-time associate in the apparel section makes $8.10 an hour, the minimum wage in Ohio.
"Right now, it's just pretty much paycheck-to-paycheck," says Kelly Sallee, who has worked for the company for about eight months. That is barely enough to cover her bills. Sallee is part of a group called OUR Wal-mart, which has been pushing Wal-Mart to raise its wages, and she expects her hourly wage will go up by 90 cents.
Sallee, who is 22 years old, is engaged and eager to start a family, and Sallee says she and her fiancé already know what they would do with more money. "We would save up for a car," she says. "We would be able to pay car insurance." Sallee could stop taking the bus to work.
According to Arin Dube, an economist at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, Wal-Mart's decision could make a difference – especially to employees who are making the federal minimum wage, $7.25 an hour. "We are talking about a thousand or two thousand dollars, maybe, for some of the more effected workers," he says.
Dube says there is evidence that when minimum-wage workers see their wages rise, they start saving.
Amy Glasmeier is a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology who has spent a lot of time studying poverty issues and what constitutes a living wage, and she says even a modest increase matters.
"A family member getting sick, a car needing a repair, a dollar is going to add up," she explains. "A 10 percent increase is a 10 percent increase."
But for many Wal-Mart workers who live around the federal poverty line – about $12,000 for a single person – that increase is likely to provide only some solace.
"It's moving from the bottom to, you know, a shade above the bottom," says David Neumark, who directs the Center for Economics and Public Policy at the University of California, Irvine.
Now, Wal-Mart says this pay bump is significant, and it is going to cost the company around $1 billion a year.
Visitors bureau in Ithaca wins at marketing
Earlier this week, the website for the visitors bureau in Ithaca, New York, a city currently buried under several feet of snow, knew enough was enough.
They put a picture of the beaches of the Florida Keys on their homepage with a line that read, "That's it. We surrender. Winter, you win. Key West anyone?".
The site's back to normal now, but the bureau's director said to the Ithaca Journal that it was a way to stay engaged with customers at a time when Upstate New York isn't exactly top of mind.

10 things you probably didn't know about the Oscars
It's that time of the year again: the 87th Academy Awards ceremony will take place at the Dolby Theatre this Sunday. Hollywood's biggest stars will walk across 500 feet of red carpet in their designer suits and gowns to the industry's biggest night – in hopes of winning the most recognized trophy in the world, the Oscar.
Marketplace host Kai Ryssdal spoke to Joseph Petree, the Design Director at R.S. Owens & Company, about manufacturing the golden statuette.
10 fun facts about the Oscars:
- The Oscar statuette was originally named the Academy Award of Merit. Although it is unclear where the nickname comes from, the most widely known myth is that the Academy's librarian saw the statue and said it looked like her Uncle Oscar. The Academy officially adopted the nickname in 1939.
- The first Oscar was awarded in 1929 to Emil Jannings, named Best Actor for his performances in "The Last Command" and "The Way of All Flesh."
- About 270 people attended the first official Academy Awards at the Blossom Room of the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, and tickets cost $5 each.
- An Oscar statuette stands 13½ inches tall and weighs in at 8½ pounds.
- The Oscar statuette was designed by Cedric Gibbons, chief art director at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and sculpted by Los Angeles artist George Stanley.
- The statuette is a figure of a knight holding a crusader's sword standing on a reel of film with five spokes signifying the five original branches of the Academy: actors, directors, producers, technicians and writers.
- The first televised Academy Awards show was on March 19, 1953.
- R. S. Owens & Company in Chicago has manufactured the Oscar statuette since 1983.
- Each Oscar takes about 8-10 hours to make. R.S. Owens & Company manufactures about 50-60 Oscar statuettes per year.
- The Oscar statuette has more gold on it than any other trophy.

Walmart's way to growth
Walmart scored low marks in a survey of major U.S. retailers released Wednesday. The American Customer Satisfaction Index says the retail giant came in below competitors like Target and Family Dollar.
Walmart's earnings paint a somewhat rosier picture of its performance. On Thursday, the company reported pulling in $1.61 a share in the fourth quarter — higher than the predicted $1.53 — but still fell short on earnings with a reported $131.6 billion.
Analysts say Walmart may try to accelerate growth in some key areas, like e-commerce, where it has made big strides.
"Those companies investing in mobile, like Walmart is, seem to be pulling ahead of the competitive set," says Sucharita Mulpuru is a retail analyst with Forrester Research.
Another growth area: Walmart's smaller store format, called Neighborhood Market stores.
But consumer research analyst Brian Yarbrough with Edward Jones is skeptical about how much those growth areas can boost Walmart's bottom line. He says supercenters are still the main drivers of operating income.
"If the U.S. supercenters are still just kind of mulling along and not gaining steam," he says, "they're really not going to be able to show any kind of earnings growth and revenue growth at the overall Walmart company."
Yarbrough says that picture will be hard to change as shoppers turn increasingly to low-cost competitors like dollar stores.
Part of the problem, he says, is that Walmart is a mature retailer.
"It's difficult to grow when you're this big," he says.

We'll also talk about combating racism and promoting diversity in the world of sports with Ken Shropshire, author of "Sport Matters: Leadership, Power, and the Quest for Respect in Sports."
Germany says no to a six month extension for Greece
Today, Greece put on the table a proposal that embraced its debt obligations, but asked European partners for a six months extension. But in the last few minutes, Germany said no. The German Finance Ministry's quote: "The letter from Athens is not a proposal that leads to a substantial solution."
We were on the line from Brussels with Economist Elena Panaritis, who is advising the Greek government in these negotiations, when the news came from Germany's finance ministry.

Just before that statement hit the financial wires, Panaritis talked about Greece's hopes for a resolution that would avoid a default, keep Greece in the Euro, and prevent a wave of global financial uncertainty.
Fed minutes still vague on rate-hike timing
On February 18, the Federal Reserve's Open Market Committee released minutes from its meeting January 27-28, 2015. A major topic of discussion was how current economic conditions bear on the Fed's long-awaited plan to begin raising short-term interest rates. The benchmark federal funds rate has hovered near-0-percent since December 2008, as part of the Fed's broader effort to stimulate the economy by encouraging more consumer spending, business investment and hiring.
Market analysts trying to glean any hard-and-fast intelligence on when the Fed plans to begin hiking interest rates will be disappointed. Fed officials (who are not named in the minutes) are carefully non-committal on the precise timing of anticipated monetary tightening, signaling they want maximum flexibility to respond to emerging economic developments. The widespread expectation among economists is that rates will start rising in June or September of 2015.
The minutes from January (released three weeks after the meeting) show Fed officials are worried that core price inflation (excluding volatile food and energy) and wage inflation are too low right now, the global economy is stumbling, and the strong U.S. dollar is hurting U.S. exports. But they see a steadily improving job market.
"Job growth has been very good, the unemployment rate has come down," says Gary Thayer, head of global macro-strategy at the Wells Fargo Investment Institute. "I think businesses are probably at the point where if they want to expand further they will need to hire more workers, and I think that will make consumers feel better. When the Fed gets around to raising interest rates, the impact probably won't hurt the economy that much."
Fed officials are concerned that if they raise rates to soon to keep the economy from overheating and inflation from getting out of control, they'll squash job growth. The danger is that growth will slow down before it can benefit the underemployed and long-term unemployed, who haven't seen quick improvement in their job prospects during the six-year post-recession economic recovery.
Can YouTube replace the movie theater?
So far on our From the Hills to the Valley series, we've talked about how technology is represented by Hollywood, spoken with a producer and actor who has successful projects on both HBO and YouTube, and an MPAA executive who believes Silicon Valley isn't doing enough to beat piracy online.
Today, we have someone from a purely tech background who is meddling with a distinctly Hollywood craft: writing a screenplay. Charles Forman always loved video games, but after selling OMGPOP, the gaming company he co-founded, he decided to try something new. The result: Storyboard Fountain. It's an app that allows people to literally visualize screenplays and stories as they are being scripted or narrated.
"It's a computer program that allows you to create a new frame, draw on that frame, and it's sort of tethered to the script, so you're sort of drawing a story," says Forman. "I want somebody to be able to make a movie in their underwear in their apartment."
And when he says "movie," he doesn't necessarily mean a movie in a theatre. It could be a project that's distributed on YouTube or picked up by Netflix. Forman thinks that's where the future is headed: people creating, distributing and consuming content via the internet—Not a movie hall where strangers gather to watch a big screen.
Froman doesn't think so much about Hollywood versus Silicon Valley as much as he does about the way we measure success itself. Success, he says, won't necessarily be ruled by the box office. In the future, according to Forman, the most successful distribution model might not include releasing a movie in theaters.
"Ten years from now, if people are still going to see movies, and that's a thing, I'll eat my shirt," says Forman.

I once saw a timed washer shut off valve that once you turned it on it gave you enough time to run a load of laundry then it shut off. I can't seem to find it anywhere. I have a combo washer/dryer that runs on 220 all the products I've seen require you to plug the waher into the 110 plug of the device and opens the valve once it detects the washer running. Can you help?
I can't say I have seen this type of valve. Your washer already has a solenoid valve that opens and closes in conjuction with the timer of the washing machine. If the valve you are mentioning worked off of 120 VAC, then I would think you would need some kind of transformer to step up the voltage. Why are you worried about this anyway? The water is still under pressure before it reaches this mystery valve. Do you live in a high rise,? and are worried about a leak? Let me know I'm curious, Tom
This valve is designed to shut off water-pressure to the hot and cold hoses supplying the washing-machine. The timer allows the washing machine to go through the cycles and shuts off safely with no worry about burst hoses when the homeowner is away. One can find this on the internet. erik
I live inn a condo and the washer is on the first floor with no drainage. My neighbor was unlucky enough to have a hose burst and flooded the cellar. Plus I'm selling and want to give the new owner peace of mind.
If this can be found on the internet can you tell me where? I've used every key word search I know and no luck so far.

America's last plantation - Contact Obama -Compensate Black Farmers Fully for US Government's Discrimination
Expand Messages
- For years, federal officials in the South discriminated against Black farmers, denying them federal loans and grants that White farmers easily received.When Barack Obama was running for president he championed their cause. He created a bill to compensate the farmers, many of whom had lost their land and livelihoods. Obama's efforts helped him secure the support of Black members of Congress and voters in the rural South.Now it looks like the Obama administration may be trying to avoid fairly compensating these Black farmers. It would be a shame for this to happen. Together, we can make sure it doesn't.Will you join us in asking President Obama to make good on his commitment? It only takes a minute.The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) has a long and ugly history of discrimination against Black people.1 The Department's new Secretary, Tom Vilsack, recently said "Some folks refer to USDA as the last plantation."2 Across the South, White local and regional USDA managers routinely denied Black farmers critical farm loans and disaster assistance -- aid that was easily granted to White farmers.3 This federal assistance often meant the difference between a thriving, economically viable farm and foreclosure.While not the sole factor, historic discrimination has helped drive Black farmers out of the business in huge numbers, many of them losing their homes, their farms, and their land. While 14% of all farmers were Black at the turn of the last century,4 by 2002 only 1.4% were Black.5In 2001, a man named Timothy Pigford stood up for Black farmers, filing a class action lawsuit called Pigford v. Glickman that led to a landmark settlement: Black farmers who could show evidence of discrimination in getting loans and other aid were entitled to $50,000 and a tax break.6 But there was a very brief deadline for filing a claim, and the government did such a bad job letting people know about the settlement that many farmers didn't even find out about it in time to get the relief they deserved.7Relief Denied?As a senator, Barack Obama fought to get these folks access to the money they deserved, and he won. Congress set aside $100 million to start paying the farmers back, knowing that this would only cover a small part of the total amount the government owed them. The understanding was that more money would be made available later.8But now that Obama is President, his administration's lawyers have argued that the $100 million should be a cap on the total amount of money payed out, to be split between all the farmers. This would give each farmer as little as $2,000 or $3,000, even though the bill Obama passed as a senator said that farmers should get the full amount called for in the original settlement.9Obama administration officials have said that the president is committed to doing the right thing.10 We want to give the president the benefit of the doubt, but we all know that actions speak louder than words.President Obama has said that it takes folks at the grassroots level to hold politicians accountable -- himself included -- and force them to do what's right. Now is clearly one of those times. We've spent hundreds of billions of dollars bailing out banks and car companies after years of greed and mismanagement. It's time for the administration to do the right thing and give these farmers the relief that they've been denied for too long. Please join us in demanding that they do:Thanks and Peace,-- James, Gabriel, William, Dani and the rest of the ColorOfChange.org team

Is it better to do the right thing for the wrong reason, or to do the wrong thing for the right reason? If you do the wrong thing for the right reason, is it still the wrong thing?
Si vis pacem para bellum.
There are two ways of doing something. Right and again.
If you can't be good, be great at it.
I have the organ donor thingy checked on my driver's license. I am also a member of the bone marrow donor bank. Harvest from me what you can if I can't use it any longer. Squeeze what can be squeezed out of the remains and then burn me to ashes. My wife and/or sons would get the ashes. They will do what feels right to them. I won't be needing my ashes.
One thing I do not want to happen is for the funeral industry to take advantage of my death and exploit that on my wife or kids. Don't put me in a casket of any kind. If a box is required then I would like a cardboard box. Or a simple pine box.
I'd like to be buried in the yard with some spears and broken pottery and ****. Then have my grandkids call some archaeologists to come "discover me" 50 years from now. Just think it would be a funny prank to play, since archaeologists suck and I loathe the profession.
Cremation is the best way rather than burial or composting.....
Cremated and then i want my brother to dig a hole in his front yard dump me in and put a nice dogwood tree on top of me. Then have the biggest party ever.
Or i want to be buried in my truck cause its never been in a hole that it couldnt get out of LOL
Rather than burial,cremation or composition.... i think body liquefaction is the best funeral process...... it is also known as greener way to die...and environment friendly too..

Award-winning blues master, Blues Hall Of Fame member and Alligator recording artist Joe Louis Walker will release his new album, Hornet's Nest (AL 4959), on February 25, 2014. Walker is among the greatest bluesmen of his generation. He is known worldwide as one of the genre's top musical trailblazers — a mesmerizing guitarist and soul-testifying vocalist. On his dynamic new CD, Walker's music is equal parts rock &' roll fire and blistering, passionate blues.
Hornet's Nest was recorded in Nashville and produced by songwriter/ drummer Tom Hambridge (producer of James Cotton' Grammy-nominated Cotton Mouth Man, Buddy Guy's Grammy-winning CDs Skin Deep and Living Proof, as well as albums for Susan Tedeschi, George Thorogood and Walker's previous CD, Hellfire). Hornet's Nest — featuring 12 songs, including nine new originals — blends Walker's boundless energy and his myriad influences into a contemporary blues tour-de-force. His always-inventive guitar playing is matched note-for-note by his fervent vocals. From menacing, hard rocking electric blues to cool Memphis funk to R&B rave-ups to Sunday morning gospel, Walker's blues-fierce and untamed, adventurous and fun — continue to define the genre.
The band — Hambridge on drums, Reese Wynans on B-3 organ and piano, Rob McNelley on guitar, and Tommy MacDonald on bass — pushed Walker to deliver his absolute best performances.

An accomplished bluegrass musician,
Mark Schultz infuses jazz, country, folk and
klezmer resulting in his own original style.
Mark Schultz began playing banjo and guitar in the early 60's during the folk era. He was drawn to the energy and authenticity of bluegrass and devoted himself to mastering the 5 string banjo. He still hopes to complete that mastery.
Since that time he has played with too many bands to count, and has branched out into many other genres. His current mix of music includes klezmer, swing, folk, country, as well as more traditional bluegrass.

Native Maze is making waves with a sound born in the chemistry of seven friends.
From the driving pulse of rock, to the consolation of reggae, to the eruptions of progressive dance, these guys revel in the musical unknown and manifest their melodic addiction through whichever genre feels right in the moment.
Highlights for the young band include headlining shows in Philly, Lancaster, Harrisburg and Williamsport, and opening for Jimkata, The Mantras, Consider the Source, and Dopapod.
Native Maze celebrated the end of 2014 with their latest studio release, From the Ground.
The journey that began with childhood friends has grown into a magnetic force of good times with great people.
No Good Sister is a female vocal trio out of Philadelphia, PA.
In the Fall of 2012, a mom, a teacher, and a waitress, decided to turn their mutual admiration for each other's music, writing and voices into a musical project that would both showcase them as individuals, but especially highlight their deep affinity for tight 3-part harmonies.
Meaghan Kyle, originally from Columbia, MD, got her musical roots from the great American songbook. At 16, she began a career as a professional theatre actress, but upon moving to Philadelphia nearly 8 years ago, she quickly found herself immersed in the thriving Philly music scene. While regularly singing back up vocals for singer-songwriters Shane Dodd and Christie Lenee, Meaghan joined up with the fine folks that make up the old-timey gypsy jazz folk group, A Fistful of Sugar. Enter Jess McDowell.
Originally from Newtown, PA, Jess McDowell cut her musical teeth at an early age by hopping from bluegrass festival to bluegrass festival, absorbing all the traditions of the Americana repertoire. She has performed as a backing vocalist for Brad Hinton, was half of the Philly folk duo Jessie James, and fronts her own vintage country band, The Wounded Healers. Jess joined A Fistful of Sugar a year into its course, where she first met Meaghan.
A musical bond was quickly formed, and they craved a project with a little more blues, a little more roots, and one that would have them up front. And with a third female voice. Enter Maren Sharrow.
Sharrow began her music career singing back-up vocals for several bands in her hometown of Detroit, MI, where she wrote the songs for her debut solo EP, Pretty Mess, released in 2006 to critical acclaim. Sharrow was featured on NPR's Open Mic, and The Detroit Metro Times praised the songstress for her "angel wings and fearie breath," calling her the "Patty Griffin of the D." In 2008, Sharrow moved to Philadelphia to pursue her love of music. Now a stay-at-home-mom of two boys under the age of three, Sharrow fits in writing sessions between naptimes and after the boys go to bed. Maren is also getting ready to head in to the studio with her side project, The Scarlett Rebellion, to record their debut album Hollow Hearts which will be released sometime late in 2014.
Since the formation of No Good Sister, just over a year ago, they have performed at World Cafe Live, both in Philadelphia and Wilmington, The Tin Angel, Fergie's Pub, The Fire, Underground Arts, Milkboy Philly, Ortliebs, Silk City to name a few, and appear regularly in the Four Seasons Lounge. In January of 2014, they were selected by World Cafe Live at The Queen as the Unsung Hearo standout performer of 2013, and won a slot in Hearo.fm's 2014 SXSW showcase. They are currently recording their original music and will be releasing their first EP by year's end."

John Valerio
Born an only child to John and Tina Valerio in Phoenixville, PA, John had a normal upbringing. Catholic elementary school turned to public high school, but not before John was exposed to the world of golf. John was a naturally talented golfer, thanks to his father.
Playing on the Phoenixville Phantom golf team and being very successful, John took the next logical step and headed to Coastal Carolina University, to pursue a professional golf career. Low and behold, walking in to a pawn shop would change him from the cart path to the music track. $150 invested in a guitar, and no money spent on lessons, John began teaching himself to play. Every free chance he had, John was in his dorm room learning his new craft. His poor roommate! Friends offered a few pointers, and cordial jam sessions turned in to the occasional open mic, which eventually snowballed to low paying gigs. John's passion evolved quickly from golf to music.
Tragedy struck in the fall of 2005, when John's father passed away at the age of 45, losing his battle with cancer. The constant, strong, and most influential person in John's life was no longer there. The father and son bond that they so strongly shared was gone, forever. Golf didn't have the same meaning to John anymore.
Life in the golf business slowly became second hand to John's music career. The personal gratification he received from performing was incomparable to anything else he has ever experienced. To pursue anything else never again crossed his mind.
In the summer of 2006 John graduated and headed home in hopes that his music career would flourish. Shortly after his return he was able to secure enough work as a musician to focus solely on following his passion for playing, performing, and recording his first EP, Here Right Now.
After four years touring Argentina, Brazil and Colombia as bassist in several Latin bands, Bronson Tennis returned to Philadelphia to form his own band. De Tierra Caliente: a fusion of Brazilian, Caribbean and American rhythms with catchy melodies and unaffected lyrics. While traveling and learning the languages of Caribbean and Brazilian musicians, Bronson began to mix his American roots with Afro-Latino rhythms to inspire an undeniably fun North/South American dance party.
De Tierra Caliente bridges Philadelphia's boricua (Puerto Rican) and gringo communities, as Bronson is joined by Puerto Rican percussionist and Philly Salsa icon, Edwin "Papo Buda" Rosado, who for decades has performed with local groups such as the Latin Playboys and Saboricua and has appeared with the world-renowned Gran Combo de Puerto Rico. Papo and his red-headed gringo apprentice Tim Leslie are an unlikely duo of bearded percussionists, laying down powerful Latin grooves that make it impossible to stay in your seat.
De Tierra Caliente delivers the sabor, spice and alegría of warm-weather Latin American countries to audiences in the northeastern US, where formidable winters and nose-to-the-grindstone work ethic sometimes overshadow simple pleasures like sharing a meal with friends or going out dancing. At a De Tierra Caliente show, you can't help but warm up as intoxicating songs in Spanish, English and Portuguese sing out the bright colors and familial heat of a South American kitchen.

"Elle has a voice that hovers between the dramatic highs of Mariah Carey and the subtle shadings of Norah Jones.
It's rhythm-and-blues meets pop with a dash of sparkle. And that's what her voice has---Sparkle.", so scribed Frank Quattrone of Montgomery Town and Country Living Magazine.
This songbird wasn't even born when Ella Fitzgerald blessed our ears with her jazz ballads, but when the Ghanaian native heard her smooth vocals as well as those of Aretha, Billie Holiday, and other pioneers alike, she immediately knew she had found the cornerstone of her signature sound.
Like some of her modern day influences, Alicia Keys and Corrine Bailey Rae, Elle creates a blissful marriage of prose and melody that embraces your heart, and feeds your soul.

Thirty-Six Thirty
an original alternative rock band, comes to you from Bucks County PA.
Originally formed as a studio project by a husband and wife team the band released its first album "Angry at the World" in 2010.
Although Thirty-Six Thirty's music is clearly influenced by groups like Metric, the Cure, Paramore, Linkin Park, Green Day, and Pink, the band sounds profoundly different.
Falling in the new wave, post modern, and indie bands categories, Thirty-Six Thirty incorporates driving bass lines as a foundation for emotional vocals and layered atmospheric guitar lines held together by solid percussion.
What really separates the band from many other groups is their approach to lyrics which pick up on both, contemporary social themes and personal life experiences, equally.
ALMSHOUSE is an original, female-fronted americana-blues-rock band, founded by guitarist Troy Schoenmeier & bassist Ken Belli, formerly of Bucks County favorites The SOBs.

Philadelphia is home to one of the finest blues harp players in the world, much to the surprise of people not "inside" the blues scene. Over the past forty-plus years, 2009 Handy Award nominee Steve Guyger has been dishing out some of the finest blues to be heard anywhere. Whether in a duo, trio, or with his band, The Excellos, Steve always rocks the house.
Steve has toured with the late Jimmy Rogers, among others, and has played with many of the great Chicago bluesmen and contemporary players, yet he remains one of the best kept secrets in blues. The late William Clarke called Steve "the best harp player I've ever seen." Mark Hummel called him "a monster player." If you have heard Steve play, you know what they're talking about. If you've never heard him, you're missing a major page in your blues portfolio.
After receiving his first harmonica as a gift from a family friend, he had heard his first blues record and his life was never the same! Dennis already was a life-long music fan (having grown up on country & western and big band/oldies), and already was acquiring a decent record collection (thanks to his obsession with music & his own radio show in high school!), but the harmonica took him in a whole new direction. Before long, Dennis was tracking down all the harmonica and blues records he could find, and tried to learn as much as he could.
Having been in New Orleans during 1992-3, Dennis came back home to the Garden State of NJ and quickly gained a reputation as a young rising star on the local blues scene working in a couple different local blues bands. In addition to studying the classic harmonica & Chicago Blues records (Little Walter, Big Walter, James Cotton, Muddy Waters, Jimmy Rogers, etc...), Dennis also "cut his teeth" on some classic blues/R&B/swing saxophone records from the likes of Illinois Jacquet, Willis Jackson, Red Prysock, and Gene Ammons. In 1998 he started to form his own local "all-star" band, using members pulled from other regional bands (including the great saxophonist Joel Frahm). Ever since his self-titled debut with that band (Dennis Gruenling & Jump Time!) hit the streets in 1999, Dennis has pulled in countless fans and numerous accolades from critics & musicians around the world for his swinging, highly original harmonica sound and style. Taking equal parts from the harmonica and swing/saxophone traditions and styles, Dennis has pushed the boundaries further for the sound of blues harmonica, while in the meantime pioneering a whole new sound and direction for the harmonica.
Eastside Detroit native Doug Deming, now hailing from Florida's Gulf Coast, has garnered widespread attention for his deft guitar work and memorable songwriting. With a nod to the likes of T-Bone Walker and Charlie Christian, as well as Luther Tucker and Robert Jr. Lockwood, Doug leaves his own mark whether swingin' on the big jazz box, or playing straight up blues on the solid body Fender guitar. While playing the local Detroit scene in the early 90′s, major players began to take notice, and Doug spent much of the following years backing many of the day's top touring blues artists, including Fabulous Thunderbirds frontman Kim Wilson, legendary Louisiana swamp bluesman Lazy Lester, Gary Primich, Chicago greats Johnny "Yard Dog" Jones, and A.C. Reed, as well as Detroit's own Queen of the Blues, Alberta Adams.
With a decade of touring and recording to his credit, Doug has earned his position alongside today's heavies on the blues scene. Leading his band, The Jewel Tones, Doug continues to bring noteworthy traditional and original roots music to his audiences. Doug's latest recording, What's it Gonna Take, exhibits the outstanding guitar work and remarkable singing and songwriting that have become Doug's calling card.
Dennis Gruenling is without a doubt one of the baddest, swingingest, most innovative harp blowers on the planet. For the past fifteen years, Dennis has played with many top-notch traditional blues acts such as Snooky Pryor, Pinetop Perkins, A.C. Reed, Nappy Brown, and Homesick James, as well as his own original jump blues outfit "Jump Time". For years critics and musicians worldwide have been praising how he blends both the blues harmonica and swing saxophone traditions, as he pioneers a whole new sound and direction for the harp.
Also one of the world's foremost blues harmonica instructors, Dennis is also in demand as a harmonica teacher and lecturer worldwide, in addition to the blues history knowledge he airs on his weekly "Blues & the Beat" radio program (WFDU-FM). Equally adept at performing, composing, arranging, and teaching, what fans remember most is the fun, energy, and emotional intensity of each and every show he is a part of.

Biometrics are useful in their place delivering speed, convenience and decent level of security - you can often guess a password or a PIN but try guessing a finger print; I've never seen a post-it with "this weeks retina" stuck on the notice board. Got it on my iPhone and love it's convenient security for signing stuff, elsewhere I use a pin or a sms code.
Using biometrics Is just part of the authentication mix, now move along nothing to see here.

Brits the ugliest people in the world?
Britons among ugliest people, dating site says
Swedish men, Norwegian women get highest ratings for their looks
LONDON - Britons are among the ugliest people in the world, according to a dating Web site that says it only allows "beautiful people" to join.
Fewer than one in eight British men and just three in 20 women who have applied to BeautifulPeople.com have been accepted, an e-mailed statement from the site showed.
Existing members of the "elite dating site" rate how attractive potential members are over a 48-hour period, after applicants upload a recent photo and personal profile.
Story continues below ***8595;advertisement | your ad here
Swedish men have proved the most successful, with 65 percent being accepted, while Norwegian women are considered the most beautiful with 76 percent accepted, the site said.
The way that BeautifulPeople.com accepts new members is simple. A potential member applies with a photo and a brief profile. Over 48 hours, existing members of the opposite sex vote whether or not to admit them, the site said.
Options are: "Yes definitely," "Hmm yes, O.K," "Hmm no, not really" and "No definitely not."
The site was founded in 2002 in Denmark and went live across the globe last month. Since then, the site has rejected nearly 1.8 million people from 190 countries, admitting just 360,000 new members.
"I would say Britain is stumbling because they don't spend as much time polishing up their appearance and they are letting themselves down on physical fitness," Beautiful People managing director Greg Hodge said. "Next to Brazilian and Scandinavian beauties, British people just aren't as toned or glamorous."
Only the male Russian and Polish applicants fared worse than British men, although Russian women had a 44 percent acceptance rate. Polish women did not appear in the table.

German applicants were slated for offering up unflattering photographs, which may have hindered their acceptance rates at 15 percent for men and 13 percent for women, the lowest rate in their category.
"German men and women aren't faring well, but they are submitting stern images, they need to soften up," Hodge said.
