Like most popular reggae acts of the time, Steel Pulse loosely followed a Bob Marley-Wailers model, but went further afield in search of influence than any other group, adding touches of flamenco, European machine-pop, and R&B. Tribute to the Martyrs (1978) and Reggae Fever (1980) continued the trend toward an updated sound that retained traditional commentary. As the '80s wore on--and, not coincidentally, as England embraced conservative Thatcherism--some of the heart seemed to go out of reggae in Britain. Steel Pulse wasn't immune to this malaise, but their first three albums are still among the best British reggae produced, more than able to hold their own against the music of the homeland.
Still, the group soldiered on, releasing solid, serviceable--but seldom inspired--albums into the '90s. Last year was a banner year for them: They not only released Rage and Fury--their best work in quite a while and a nominee for a 1998 Grammy in the field of Best Reggae--but Island Records also put out Sound System Island Anthology, which brought together the band's essential first three albums, spiced up with a selection of live cuts and 12-inch remixes. That music still has a righteous glow and an angry edge that Rage--title notwithstanding--just can't match.
As if to borrow a bit of that old-school magic, Rage reprises "Ku Klux Klan," off of Hardsworth Revolution--this time with a horn section--and rails against crooked politicos, the media, poisonous race relations, and the soiled environment. The band continues to expand its somewhat chameleon-like style, incorporating hip-hop ("Black Enough?," which features Spearhead's Michael Franti rapping), dancehall, synths and samples, and R&B. That they introduce these different elements so seamlessly may disqualify them as archivists, but it's to their credit as shepherds as they guide their music into the next century.
--Matt Weitz
Steel Pulse plays in Fort Worth at the Caravan of Dreams on Friday, February 20.

Jotul 450 Kennebec - Clearance to Furniture
hatrickJuly 1, 2009
I am looking to put a Jotul 450 Kennebec insert into my fireplace and I have two recliners that are on either side of my hearth at 45 degree angles. They are 24" from where the edge/side of the inserts firebox would be to the side of the recliner and I am wondering if that is enough clearance or if I am going to have any issues with them being that close. There is nothing directly in front of where the stove would be.
If anyone that has a Jotul 450 Kennebec could let me know how hot the area around the stove gets, that would be greatly appreciated. I'll post some pictures of my fireplace area tonight so there is a visual reference to my question.

Paris Fashion Week: How did Greta Constantine fare in France?
Kirk Pickersgill and Stephen Wong give the low down on their week in Paris.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
View 2 photoszoom
PARIS — Every young designer dreams of selling their clothes in Paris. It is the summit of the style world and during fashion week, buyers converge to seek new lines and discover new talent.
In a city where the competition to get noticed is fierce, Kirk Pickersgill and Stephen Wong, the duo behind Toronto-based label Greta Constantine, were up against it. In town to sell their spring 2013 collection — renting an apartment doubling as a showroom — they nevertheless secured nine buyers from Madrid to the Middle East.
We reported on their journey as they packed their bags and head to Paris. With the buzz of the week's excitement fading, we caught up to find out if it has been worth it?
Financially, absolutely it was, they say.
Even though they sold the same number as last season, the overall unit price was higher because of the workmanship and fabric used in this collection.
And in terms of experience — the trip was priceless. "We both have a limited amount of French, so not speaking the language, any little success we have, we feel very good about it," says Pickersgill.
"We don't get disappointed if someone cancels or doesn't show up," he says.
"Also we are getting out in the city and absorbing the culture and getting inspiration," adds Wong.
Both designers say it was an education as from the moment they arrived at Charles de Gaulle airport, with assistant Jesse Greene, and stylist Youlande Jackson, things started to go wrong.
Thankfully, their luggage with the entire collection had arrived. (Unlike London-based Turkish designer Hakaan Yildirim who lost his entire collection in transit from London and had to cancel his show.)
But the van and driver they'd booked never showed up. When they finally got to the rental apartment — booked online — the woman with the keys had left. After getting in, they discovered there was no heat.
"We knocked on the neighbouring apartment, begging for help," says Pickersgill. "They didn't open the door. We just heard, 'no!' "
Response to a casting call for a model wasn't what they'd hoped for — one girl turned up. And their first appointment with a buyer didn't go too well either — he never showed.
Those who did come were preoccupied with the stark economic outlook in Europe. Not exactly convincing business chatter.
"It's interesting that they all talk about the rising political tensions but they still place an order," says Greene.
A buyer from Dublin, in the business for 38 years, had sagely advice: "In good times and bad times, women still want to be beautiful."
And that's something these boys have no problem delivering.
The spring collection features knockout cocktail dresses cut in a new microfibre knit — a sort of neoprene looking jersey. Most popular among buyers was their white cocktail dress, something which surprised them as it was a season of print and colour. But buyers liked this, giving them positive feedback on their colour palette which includes black, navy and white, a refreshing change from all the colourful wacky prints of this season, they were told.
But why would a retailer take a chance with a small Canadian label?
"They want something different, new things with a twist and good price points," says Pickersgill.
"We are fortunate we are selling because we have nothing to fall back on — no shoes, no accessories, which are often the money makers for designers. We are just selling clothes."
What little success they have had here so far has already inspired them to return next spring, though next time they want to showcase their designs at one of the big trade events.
"The tradeshows have thousands of people and sometimes it's not the best environment because it's chaotic and the buyers are tired but it's also one big assembly line of people," says Pickersgill.

Marrakech HotelsThe beautifully preserved colonial city of Marrakech mixes the wonders of the old with the indulgence of the new. The third largest city in Morocco, the sandy hued buildings and bustling streets contain a wealth of markets and street vendors peddling everything from intricate rugs and trinkets, to fresh, fiery local cuisine. There's also a huge amount of culture and history hidden away in the Old City, along with a number of beautiful open spaces and gardens for everyone to enjoy. Things to seeIf you're planning a visit to Marrakech, then in addition to wandering the bustling, winding alleys of the Medina and its Souks, taking a walk through the vibrant crowds that gather in the vast open space of the Djemaa El-Fna is an absolute must. Whether it's in the glittering lights of an orange soaked sunset, when performers, musicians and storytellers gather to bathe the surrounding area in music and song, or during the warm afternoons where a cacophony of trader's voices fill the air, it's a truly unique experience. After the bustle and energy of the Souks, a visit to the pale white pillars of the Museum of Marrakech can be a welcome counter point. The Museum itself is something of an attraction, being a converted 18th century palace, in addition to the traditional Moroccan cultural artefacts housed there. The gently shimmering waters of Menara Gardens, makes the perfect spot for a peaceful stroll away from the crowds.Hotels in MarrakechWhen it comes to hotels in Marrakech, you're spoilt for choice. You'll find all kinds of accommodation, from discount pads to luxury hotels in Marrakech – so whether you're saving your spending money for the buzzing Souk markets or looking to splurge, you'll be catered for here. Even the more boutique hotels tend to have a swimming pool and bar, perfect for freshening up in the heat, and you'll find free WiFi in the public spaces of most hotels. You can also enjoy a complimentary breakfast on a rooftop terrace as the sun bathes the city in its morning warmth. Where to stayIf you're looking for affordable but pleasant accommodation with easy access to the main attractions of the city, then the numerous Riads (guesthouses) located in and around the Moolay Mousa can be a good choice for solo travellers or couples. If the history and culture of the city is at the top of your list, then staying in and around the Medina, or old city, is the best choice. You'll also still be close to attractions such as the markets and Djemaa El-Fna here too. For those after a little seclusion, the Hivernage area is close to a number of gardens.How to get to MarrakechMarrakech-Menarah Airport connects to most major cities around the world, and is only 3 miles from the city. To get to your hotel, it's often best to get a 'petit taxi', as these are smaller taxis that operate in the city, and usually charge a little less. If you're already in the country, then heading to the station in Avenue Hassan II is easy from Tangier, Casablanca, and Rabat, with journey times around 2 hours. The city itself has plenty of bus services, and 'petit taxis' to get you around, although much of the Medina is explorable on foot too.

I've played MAME on an OLED device before and... you know, there's something about each pixel emitting light... it's like you're actually using a CRT again.
Then... buy a CRT monitor?
I distinctly remember playing 3D games well before VGA or even IBM PC was invented. They were mostly a few lines of wireframe 3D, but 3D nonetheless.
As opposed to what? The latest Bioware RPG, where you have three dialogue options (Angelic, Satanic, and Snarky), act as a glorified FedEx courier, and use extreme violence to solve every problem you face? Or maybe you prefer the latest indie puzzle game, which is a direct ripoff of either Tetris or Sokoban (apparently the only two puzzle games to ever exist, although there are rumors of a third archetype called "breakout"). Or maybe you prefer Civilization X, which is just like Civilization IX, except it has Morocco as a playable civilization this time! Or there's always SimCity, where you build a city. Again. Just like the rest of the SimCity games. Let's not even get into racing games, which haven't evolved since the very first generation.
I like Bioware, Firaxis, and Maxis as much as the next guy, but... seriously... what are expecting? You can tear down any genre, and in those genres there are always going to be the complicated/innovative and the streamlined/derivative games. id makes mindless, uncomplicated action games, where you kill everything that moves. Don't like that? Don't play it. Some of us like that kind of gameplay. It sounds like you're more demanding, and that's fine. I love complex, deep games, but when I play an FPS, I generally just want to blow shit up and/or shoot people in the face. I don't want to deal with any complexity beyond that, when I'm playing an FPS, because it just draws time away from blowing shit up... and, frankly, the idea of someone begging for his life or limping around sounds disturbing to me. I like shooting at pixels, not humans. Anyway, why would I want wide open worlds to explore, enemies that beg for their life or limp, or AI when I'm going to be playing multiplayer deathmatches 99% of the time? Scratch that. 100% of the time. It sounds to me like you want a wholly different genre... some kind of console game, where you play solo, solve puzzles, and explore the world. That sounds boring as fuck to me, but, then again, I like FPS games.
In Nature there are neither rewards nor punishments, there are consequences. -- R.G. Ingersoll

Embroidering on fleece - what stablizer
I need an answer to this question today if possible. I have just started embroiderying and have some fleece throws to put names on. What kind of stablizer is best and do I need something on top. I don't want to use anything that has to be washed out. I plan on using tear-a-way on the back. Is this ok?
You first have to get the fleece in a position that it will not stetch AT ALL! Totally Stable will do that & tear off. That will iron to the fleece. Be careful, use a press cloth to keep from accidently melting your fleece. Do not hoop fleece. Hoop another type tear away stabilizer & spray it with adhesive to hold the fleece. You will have to use a water soluble on top or your stitches will embed in the fleece. What of it that you can't pull away, you can use a damp cloth or lightly spray & lay out to dry. You won't have to totally wet it & try to wash it out. Match your bobbin & top threads.
I usually use the Ultra Solvy washaway, sprayed lightly with 505 to hold the fleece. Keep in mind that if you use a tearaway, some of it will show on the back. It's about impossible to get every bit of the tearaway off, or at least it is for me.
I also use the regular Solvy on top so the stitched don't sink down so much, but that might not work if you don't want to use a washaway.
Thanks for the info. I am very new to embroidery and have only used the tear-away. The pocket books I have made, I used the heavy interfacing as the stablizer. I need information about spray on and sticky stablizer. However, I bought a refurbished brother 150 and it has stopped sewing. The top thread is bunching up underneath after about 1/8 inch. I am taking it to the shop today so maybe when I get it back I can learn more about stablizers and things associated with it. I have a friend that is going to put the names on the throws for me.
The one trick I learned from Sewing with Nancy is to bring the bobbin thread to the top after a few stitches, hit the stop button, and sew over those threads after a few stitches, trim, and let the machine do its thing. It seems like a lot of hitting the start and stop button...it works with no bunching on the underside.
I think it's the reverse of pulling the top thread to the underside for regular sewing.

Pregnant women, nursing mothers and fish consumption
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
Advisories reduce exposure to mercury, not so effective against persistent organic pollutants
A new modeling study suggests that fish consumption advisories for expecting mothers are ineffective in reducing infant exposure to long-lived contaminants like persistent organic pollutants (POPs).
The study, performed by a team of researchers including University of Toronto Scarborough PhD student Matt Binnington and Professor Frank Wania, looks at how different levels of environmental contamination, a mother's compliance with advisories, and the behavior of chemicals in the body influenced exposure in her children.
Their model estimates that women who stop eating fish shortly before or during their pregnancy may only lower their child's exposure to POPs by 10 to 15 per cent.
"We have to be careful in saying fish advisories don't work at all because they can work very well for reducing exposure to quickly eliminated contaminants, such as mercury," says Binnington. "But for POPs we found that they are not very effective."
POPs are compounds that take a long time to break down and as a result can persist in the environment and begin to accumulate in humans by way of the food chain. While many POPs such as DDT and PCBs have long been banned from production, they still exist in the environment. Fish advisories have been developed for these chemicals because they are easily passed from mothers to their children during pregnancy and nursing, potentially affecting healthy infant neurodevelopment.
Binnington (pictured right) says consumption advisories for many POPs are ineffective because they can remain in the body for years or even decades due to properties that make it difficult for the human body to eliminate them. The same is not true for mercury-based advisories, as the time it remains in the body is much shorter compared to POPs.
"Something like mercury stays in the body for only a few months and by temporarily adjusting your diet you can reduce exposure," says Binnington.
The limitation with consumption advisories is that while they inform people what not to eat, they do not offer much in the way of healthy alternatives, says Wania. In fact, substituting fish with meat such as beef may even end up doing more harm.
"Substituting fish with beef may actually result in higher exposure to other contaminants," he says, adding there is also a loss of nutritional benefits by not eating fish.
The research, which received funding through NSERC and the Northern Contaminants Program (NCP) of the Canadian Department for Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development (AANDC), is published in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives.

If you prefer to head inside, ice skating at Naga-Waukee Park Ice Arena, 2699 Golf Road in Delafield and Eble Park Ice Arena 19400 W. Bluemound Road, Brookfield, is a great option. Admission is $6 for adults and $4.50 for juniors, with $2.50 skate rental.

Video update - 6 mos of growth in 14 seconds
I posted a video a couple months ago, just thought I'd share an update. I've been following this little guy along since I put it in its own cup. I started with pictures everyday, then moved to about every other day. Towards the very end, you'll notice that lately the leaves have been sticking up on one side. I don't really get why some of them are doing that. I have all my plants in the same place now, some lie perfectly flat, others stick straight up in the air. It's odd.
At one point in the last half you'll notice the older leaves turn a lighter green. It was then I moved my light a little closer, only to find out that some others that were slightly higher than this one at the time got burned, so the light went back up.
Anyway, enjoy!
Nice work. I did a little photo shoot on an overgrown plant that I had ignored for too long. If you are interested, check out the link below. At this time all the plants have been disbudded in hopes that they will bloom in time for my local clubs show on May 3. I will take a few more pics of the plants when they are fully grown and in bloom.

The first institutional faculty development course (FDC) was developed and implemented by Hoi Ho, M.D., Associate Dean of Faculty Affairs & Development in March 2003. The purpose of this program is to provide a basic course of faculty development for the entire institution upon which each department or academic unit can build a program that is specific to its particular needs and those of its faculty. The FDC is designed to help junior and mid-level faculty members enhance their teaching skills, develop their professional careers, and achieve academic accomplishments. All new junior and mid-level faculty members are encouraged to attend the course within the first year of their appointment. This 90-hour (2 hours/week) comprehensive course has been successful in providing excellent opportunities for the faculty to acquire and expand their skills as educators and scholars.
Since the inception of the faculty development program, the Office of Faculty Affairs & Development has obtained funding from the institution to provide FDCs at no cost to the faculty member (maximum 20 faculty members per course). Department chairs have demonstrated their support by providing faculty the released time necessary to participate.
The Office of Faculty Affairs & Development and the Office of Continuing Medical Education (CME) coordinate the training sessions for enhancing the faculty teaching and assessment skills. Several awards-winning educators, education specialists of the Paul L. Foster SOM and speakers from other academic institutions have given presentations at the FDC and/or CME Grand Rounds.

The whole thing's more than a little sad, actually.
It seems there's a lot of "proven" details undisclosed about the entire episode, so it's hard to say what really went down and why. Much of what's out there is he-said, she-said.
quote:Neighbors described a tight-knit family and proud parents who worked hard to give their only child anything she wanted, but said they could be too overprotective.---"My mom has always been very overly involved," Aubrey Ireland told ABC News. "I would have to get on Skype all the time to show them that I was in my dorm room or there were nights I had to leave my Skype on all night and my mom would watch me basically sleep."Her attorney told media outlets Friday that his client did the ABC interview without his knowledge and declined to make her available for additional interviews."They basically thought that they were paying for my college tuition and living expenses that they could tell me what to do, who to hang out with," Aubrey Ireland said. "Basically control all of my daily life."
Just don't be calling home for more money, Aubrey.

Open primaries a non-starter for Oregon Republicans
March 6, 2012
SALEM, Oregon: The poor turnout this year of Republican candidates for state executive offices in Oregon will no doubt strengthen the party's resolve to improve its ever-weakening statewide election record. That resolve was first expressed at the outset of the 2012 election season with the decision to open their primaries to the state's 420,000+ unaffiliated voters. Both major parties in Oregon have experimented with open primaries in the past, but the results did not prove significant enough to compel any permanent changes.[1] The struggling Oregon GOP is now ready to revisit the old experiment; the party has selected three of its statewide primary races—attorney general, secretary of state and treasurer—to open in the upcoming primary election.
Oregon Republicans last attempted such an opening in 1992, after which they retreated to their standard principle that candidate nomination is an exclusive privilege of the party's members. Since then, the only Republicans to have held statewide office were ex-Treasurer Tony Meeker and ex-Attorney General Charles Crookham, both of whom left office in 1993.[2] The condition looks particularly dire from the Governor's Mansion, which no Republican has called home in over 30 years.[3]
The state's heavily-Democratic electorate, especially within influential cities like Portland and Eugene, easily overwhelms the determination of the 32 percent of voters registered as Republican and the 6 percent affiliated with third parties.[3] Coupled with the GOP's increasingly lamentable record of success, especially in statewide races, party leaders estimated they could not afford to continue operating on this exclusive basis.
Non-affiliated voters represent a whopping 21 percent of the state's total voting population, and their votes ultimately decide who wins and loses elections in Oregon. Opening the Republican primaries is a move designed to endear this large contingent of outcome-swayers to the GOP at the primary stage, in case the opportunity to invest in its candidates early on may translate to victories down the line. Of these non-affiliated voters (or NAVs), Oregon's Republican Chariman Allen Alley said in a press release, "The Oregon GOP is sending them a message: we want you."[1]
Trent Lutz, Executive Director of Oregon's Democratic Party, weighed in on the decision by informing voters that the Democratic party would not be following the GOP's example in the 2012 primary elections, and expressed his skepticism that allowing NAVs to participate in the Republican party "would fool them into becoming more beholden" to GOP candidates.[1] Democrats last attempted this process in 2000, and abandoned the idea due to an overly cumbersome mailing process.
Unfortunately, due to limited application and a dearth of Republican candidates, the "freedom primary," as party leaders have dubbed it, will not have the chance this round to demonstrate its efficacy. Between the three Republican primary races picked to be open in 2012, none are contested and there is only one Republican candidate: orthopedic surgeon Knute Buehler, who is running for secretary of state.[4]
There is speculation the reform could expand to include gubernatorial and congressional primary contests in the next midterm elections, by which time, Republicans hope, they will field enough contenders to be able to evaluate the impact of the modified system. Oregon's most familiar contested Republican primary, that which nominates the party's presidential candidate, is outside this hypothetical scope of application; the national GOP rulebook strictly prohibits opening this primary.
Current Oregon Secretary of State Kate Brown (D), who is expected to face Buehler in the general election, commended the Republican's decision, but admitted that it presents a logistical challenge for her office, which is responsible for overseeing elections. In a statement made last month, Brown said that she was consulting with county clerks on a plan to get the ballots to Oregon's NAVs by the primary on May 15.[1]
Whatever the results of that planning, presently, without a viable test-subject among the three relevant races, they appear to have been in vain.

It is refreshing to finally see these sentiments in print. Strong security depends upon its consideration at the very beginning of the program management lifecycle, such that security is designed into systems rather than being "bolted on" at the end.
Of course program managers are always fighting the cost-schedule-performance battle, but it seems that they always overlook the fact that costs skyrocket, schedules delay interminably, and performance suffers greatly when security vulnerabilities are uncovered late in the game (i.e., during testing, production, and deployment).
I hope acquisition training gets revamped to include security awareness and education as a critical module for program managers to be qualified to perform their duties.

An assistant controller is responsible for managing the finances of an organization. Usually reporting to a controller, the assistant controller is part of a supervisory team that oversees an organization's accounting and bookkeeping. Assistant controllers are needed in any large organization that has a significant budget. Jobs for assistant controllers can be found in private industry, as well as in federal, state, and city governments, in hospitals and clinics, and in non-profit organizations.Read More...
The central focus of an assistant controller's job is to analyze and track an organization's income and expenditures, as well as ensure compliance with regulations and tax laws. Daily duties for assistant controllers vary by industry, but commonly include financial planning, payroll management, bookkeeping, preparation of financial statements (such as balance sheets and quarterly reports), preparing and submitting tax forms, Securities & Exchange Commission reporting, inventory accounting, and closing journal entries. In smaller organizations, the assistant controller may also be asked to perform data entry.
Generally a minimum of a bachelor's degree in finance or accounting is required for these positions, possibly with a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) license. For certain industries, such as healthcare, employers may also ask for experience with that particular industry. Strong mathematics skills, interpersonal communication skills, and the ability to prepare detailed reports are a must. Familiarity with commonly used financial software is also required.
Assistant controllers generally work during regular business hours in an office setting, although many positions require some travel.
Add this chart to your site: 640px 300px
While not commonly seen, Assistant Financial Controllers who transition into a VP of Finance position may see a rise in pay. The median salary for VPs of Finance is $136K per year. With an annual salary of $77K, Financial Controller is the most common role for Assistant Financial Controllers to subsequently assume on their way up the ladder. Transitioning into an Assistant Controller role — which usually pays $63K — is also typical for Assistant Financial Controllers, though less common by comparison.
Survey respondents exploit a significant toolbox of skills in their work. Most notably, skills in Financial Analysis, Financial Reporting, Financial Applications, and Windows Operating System General Use are correlated to pay that is above average. Skills that are correlated to lower pay, on the other hand, include Accounts Receivable, Quickbooks, and Accounts Payable. Most people familiar with Accounts Payable also know Financial Reporting.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Workers in their first five years can expect to earn $52K, but people who have been around for five to 10 years earn a noticeably bigger sum of $68K. Assistant Financial Controllers bring in $72K after working for 10 to 20 years. Folks with more than two decades of experience actually report lower incomes overall; their average comes out to a mere $66K.

Binaural Modeling of Multiple Sound Source Perception: Coloration of Wideband Sound
Binaural modeling of coloration of sound perceived due to multiple coherent sources is studied under the condition in which sounds arrive at a listener successively within a certain time delay. Our former work showed that a binaural model of timbre perception describes the coloration almost independently of the directional perception, based on listening tests using 1-Bark-width bandlimited noise and pulse trains. The present work is an extension of the study to verify the timbre model, including listening experiments with broadband noise and pulse trains. The results show that our modeling still has a good agreement with the listening tests results for broadband signals in general, but also show clear deviation from the bandlimited noise case especially at low frequencies.
