It wasn't too hard to figure out who was going to win MLB's Delivery Man of the Year award this season since Detroit Tigers' reliever Jose Valverde was perfect with 49 saves in 49 opportunities. Valverde is just the second Tiger to be honored as the league's best relief pitcher. Other pitchers who earned votes were John Axford (Milwaukee), Craig Kimbrel (Atlanta) and Joel Hanrahan (Pittsburgh). Oddly enough, Valverde never won any of the six monthly Delivery Man of the Month awards during the regular season. It seemed there was always somebody a step ahead of him on a monthly basis. But when you look at the numbers for the whole season, Valverde's pitching performance stands out as is one of the best in MLB history. Along with the 49 saves, Valverde actually had a losing record of 2-4. But his ERA was an excellent 2.24 ERA and in 72 1/3 inning he only allowed 52. He struck out 69 batters and walked 34. Opposing batters just managed to hit .198 against Valverde. The numbers were even...

lettuce won't grow
Every year my lettuce won't grow. It doesn't die but it doesn't grow either. My garden is in mid-coast maine. I get about 5 hours of direct sunlight a day and have given them compost and fertilizer (10-10-10) + blood meal and some potash. The pH is low (5.5) I've been trying to bring it up but it is happening slowly. Maybe this is the problem? Other things grow well such as tomatoes, radishes, beans, cucumbers,etc. But never any luck with the lettuce. I also water it often so it is not lack of water. Any help?
Number one, be sure your soil is loose enough. Second, lettuce likes water but doesn't like soggy soil...so don't over water and make sure your soil drains well. Be sure that you thin your lettuce to give them plenty of room. Finally, try growing a variety of lettuce to see if a certain kind does well in your garden.
Yum, fresh lettuce!
If lettuce is just not happy in your garden, try growing it in a window box with potting soil. The potting soil is so light and fluffy that lettuce seems to be very happy in it. My mother has grown her lettuce exclusively this way for years. She doesn't let the lettuce get very big, rather, she snips a whole section of baby leaves for salads each day. That section grows back soon enough. A couple of window boxes full of lettuce seeds keeps her supplied in fresh lettuce all summer long. The other plus with the window box is being able to move it to cooler areas when the summer gets hot.
I think it depends on where you grow it. I can never get lettuce or salad mixes to grow in my raised beds for some reason, but I can harvest all year round from my two large pots that are 4 feet away. I never thought about the potting soil, but that may be the reason why!
I am having the same problem. I grow in raised beds with cinder block. The holes in my blocks have potting soil the beds themselves have more of a mel's mix. One bed is full sun and one is part sun. I have lettuce in both beds and in the holes and does not seem to make a difference. Everything is growing great except for my lettuce. I planted lettuce a month ago and they are still 1/2 inch to 1 tall. I however bought some butter crunch from Lowe's and surprise they are doing well. Having the same problem with Swiss chard, I finally have one taking off in a hole on the sunniest east side.

Cucumbers being pickled in salted water. (Wikipedia/Marcin Floryan)
BEIRUT: Industry Minister Hussein Hajj Hasan called Tuesday for strict observance of safety and health standards in food packaging, according to the National News Agency, after a meeting with food and plastic-product manufacturers.
"We should protect the national food industry from any factors that endanger its safety and quality" Hajj Hasan said, warning that violations could harm people and the industry's reputation, as well as its ability to compete in local and foreign markets.
In a meeting with the Lebanese Industrialists Association, the Food Industries Union and plastic producers, Hajj Hasan stressed the need to apply food-safety standards in the production of plastic barrels.
This meeting came after the TV program "Haki Jales" (Straight Talk) reported on a scandal about the packaging of pickles and other food products in plastic containers previously used for chemical materials, potentially poisoning consumers.
It named three companies that collect dumped plastic barrels and sell them to food industrialists.
According to Hajj Hasan, LIBNOR, the Lebanese Standards Association affiliated with the Industry Ministry, should set standards for plastic containers production to ensure the barrels are of "food grade."
Food grade is the industry standard for any plastic products that will come into contact with foodstuffs.
"Owners of food industries, merchants, supermarkets and retailers should all commit to recalling the invalid barrels and stop using them," he said, adding that any unsafe containers should be replaced with ones that respect food safety standards.
As a stopgap measure during the transition, Hajj Hasan suggested that a temporary solution might be to introduce food-grade nylon bags to isolate food products from the old plastic containers, until all containers are successfully replaced.

...as in actual stumps, lol.
I was enjoying weeding/the sunshine the other day when I noticed the large stump ("ornamental") had a huge crack down the side. There were carpenter ants going in the side and dropping flakes of sawdust over the edge.
Not being one to pass up the opportunity to channel my inner Curious George I went over and examined with my weed picker.
CRACK! It split some more. Then I might have helped it a bit more...One thing led to another and I ended up with to halves of the same stump ;-)
I remember seeing an article years ago in a magazine about making a "nurse log"...though I suppose that is a fancy way of saying stump planter since we're not in the forest here, lol.
So I hollowed out the stumps...
And put them out in the front shade garden along the foundation. It is so sandy and dry there that nothing will grow. The neighborhood cats try and plant little "presents" there though. LOL.
I'm thinking I may try and plant something in them. Not sure what I will do at the ends to keep the soil in (any ideas?). Not sure if mini hostas will work or if I would be better to stick with creepers.
Guess one mans stump is another mans planter ;-D
Anybody else have avant-garde garden ideas that panned out pretty well? Any tales of repurposing or recycling in your garden?
I would be fascinated also, and then I would be worried about the carpenter ants. I don't like seeing them in my yard because it means there might be some that would like to live around my house.
But other than that, yes, ants that chew through wood is very interesting, and your 2 halves of the log would definitely make a good design piece in a flower or leafy garden.
I do the same with various stumps, branches etc that come my way. I don't use them as planters, but as accent pieces in the garden they can be interesting. In particular, I like the way they age over the years. You can get moss, mushrooms, seedlings of various plants - whatever. Eventually they just rot away and become a part of the garden. Nice way to recycle.
christinmk - hmmn, you've got me wondering. A fairly large dead limb fell from the neighbor's tree onto my full shade bed over the winter. Earlier in the snow-melt season I just pushed the pieces off the cement walkway with my foot. Now I'm thinking about ways to put them to use.

My son and I used to go kayaking. One day he paddled with his wife & some friends out to the Thimble Islands in Long Island Sound and found a rope (flotsam) among some rocks near a wildlife sanctuary. He managed to stuff the rope into the nose of his kayak for the return trip to shore (a full mile paddle), however there was no longer room in the nose of his kayak for his legs and feet. Got the picture in your head?
His wife objected to the rope inhabiting her car for the return trip home but, by now, I'm sure you're certain he somehow managed to persuade her.
Yep, the rope was a gift for me.
Cleat w/rope on left
He'd gifted me with what I dubbed the Somers Cleat a year or two prior to bringing me the rope. He arrived with it in the trunk of his car. When he opened it, I blurted, "It's a CLEAT!!!
His response: "I knew you'd know what it is!!"
I keep intact tree stumps around for the resident woodpeckers. We have a Pileated and a Flicker that like to snack on them (ie, DESTROY). At the rate they are going, I won't ever have to get a stump grounded, lol.
My friend covered one of her stumps with various sedums -- VERY COOL. I may do that, if the woodpeckers let me.
Last fall, we cut down an ailing tree and found a HUGE HOLE in the trunk. The guys cut it in a neat section so I have a 2 foot thick stump with a nice, hollow hole halfway through. You can bet that is turning into a "pot" of sorts ;-)
To keep the soil in, perhaps you can staple some window screen over the sides? That's what I plan on doing with one of my stumps that will be prominently centered in the middle of a bed. I want to fill it with something trailing or big and poofy like petunias.
And thus, my to-do list grows and grows...
While cleaning up the property where our nursery used to be located, we saved various long-buried items that were uncovered. I requested two heavy items to be hauled home for repurposing, because I had plans for them!
The first item is an old pier winch. We may have used it at the nursery to lift up the well pump, but that was a long time ago, so I'm not sure. Anyway, it is now our hose pulley. I am lazy about rolling up garden hoses--when using them several times per day, it is a lot of wasted time to roll them up after each use. I just don't do it between uses. But a compromise was for me to drop the entire length of the hose over the retaining wall, out of sight--that I would take the time to do. But pulling the hose over the wall's edge would wear out the hose eventually. The winch provided a perfect solution--smooth enough to not wear, and with side guards to keep it within the track. Besides, I think it looks interesting. Set too recently to be backfilled and planted around yet, but that is on my to-do list.
The second item I brought home is what I kiddingly refer to as my metal caterpillar. :) It didn't start out with an intended use beyond looking interesting, and maybe being positioned into a caterpillar form, or two (it is actually in two pieces now). It's current job is to hide the drip tubing running along the wall.
Anyone want to guess what job it performed before retirement? :)
Chain off a trencher? (Hubby just walked in here and said he knew...)
People around here like old wooden wagons, or old hand plows, or really old cars........
And what do you do for a living...that you came across this? Dive to the bottom of the sea? Just kidding. There are a lot of strip mine lakes around here and "they say" that some of the equipment had to stay at the bottom of the mines cuz they just couldn't/wouldn't move them. I'd love to scuba and find out for sure....... Fat chance, tho.
-Errant and gardenper, I did make sure there were no ants on it before placing them there...but you make a good point! I'm not planting them up right away, so I may rethink it if I notice more ants in the meantime.
-gardenweed, I think that rope is awesome! Love nautical influences in the garden. My uncle and his wife live on the WA peninsula and do a lot of such things...also with driftwood and shells grouped in garden beds.
-Gry_Falcon, nice saves/repurposing!
Yep, that is a trencher chain! I don't think we owned a large trencher at the nursery/landscape business. It must have been from when my husband worked with a tree farm, and they replaced their trencher's chain. (I was busy raising a baby then, so we had moved away from self employment). It was probably sitting in the field for 25 years.
I have always liked adding root knots and twisted branches into my landscape. Acorn woodpecker storage graineries and nest holes were also something I have long wished we could import for the local Nuttall's woodpeckers. Unfortunately, I don't have a source near our home and I cannot safely transport that type of stuff from the nursery land in another county, because the oaks died from a disease/beetle infestation that could be spread. :(

Great company with a good business plan. Upper management has a great vision and are very hard workers. They value education a lot.
Upper management has difficulty relaying vision to warehousers. There are some difficulties getting what asked for from warehouse. Unless you have an MBA there's no chance in moving up.

Tamil rock bands are emerging as the game changers in the Chennai rock scene.
Why the name?
The band's guitarist Jhanu and his brother were registering for a competition and filled Jhanu's name in the space for band name. It just stuck.
Why Tamil?
According to Lawrence, the lead singer, "The singing comes out more natural when I'm singing in Tamil."
How does the audience react to your sound?
We want to give a shout out to our favourite bunch of KCG students who come to all of our gigs. The audience reaction both in the city and outside has been insane. There were about 6,000 crazy students at the NIT gig in Kozhikode, Kerala.
Lyrics to live by
"Yegandham Maraalam, Theepandall Yettralam, Neyaga Aadivaa Sivanae, Boologam Yaavillum, Unn Sayal Thondralam, Neyaga Paadiva Sivanae" (Let the world change, let the culture get destroyed, even then you are seen, The whole world has His identity, whatever happens, just go with it, everything is planned.)
Songs we never forget to play
Prachnay and Arakan
We sing about
Nothing is fixed. Whatever comes first, we go with the flow. We make all kinds of music, we write songs about love, discos, God and everything else. We don't have one specific type of music but if we have to give our genre a name, it would be called 'MOJO Rock' which basically means 'all out energy'.
Our musical muse:
Michael Jackson
Peek into the future
No CD as yet but we're about to release our EP soon and we are constantly uploading videos on facebook. We love live acts, production is just an excuse to get ourselves out there.
We want our music to get to the masses. We want to reach the ears of the electricians, plumbers and auto guys.
Message to the fans
Have fun, live your life and don't waste your time planning it.
Keywords: Chennai rock bands, rock music, local rock bands

Easy Summer Eats
We reckon the best bit about summer... aside from the beach and the cricket and the long weekends... is the easy peasy eating!! Bacon butties, snarlers on the BBQ, ham sammies, big beautiful salads with boiled eggs... made even better with happy ingredients!
What we
believe in
We reckon way too many farm animals have miserable lives. As lovers of great food we decided we only wanted to support companies that put the welfare of animals first every time. No exceptions. Turns out that wasn't easy. So we decided to start Freedom Farms.

Ms. Lawrence's Lords series is definitely a keeper. I read Lord of Swords first since it was the most recent in this series, but it was so good that I bought Ms. Lawrence's back list of the Lords series and started with the first one...this one. OMGosh! I am flabbergasted by this author's depth of detail and historical description! I truly feel like I am in the medieval era and witnessing everything in the story firsthand. What an exciting experience it was to read this book! I liked that Gilles, although a swoon-worthy hero, was an aging warrior with self doubts and insecurities. He was so realistic to me I fell in love with him myself. And I loved feisty Emma who, despite the put-down attitude toward women in those times, still fought for her integrity and self worth. I admired her so much! I lost sleep over this story as I couldn't put it down once I started it; stayed up way past my bedtime two nights running. :-) But now I can hardly wait to dig into my next book in the Lords series as I know I have another treat awaiting me.Was this review helpful?

Air Products, Enterprise Products Expand Tie-Up - Analyst Blog
Air Products and Chemicals Inc. ( APD ) has inked a deal with Enterprise Products Operating LLC, a fully-owned subsidiary of Enterprise Products Partners L.P., to increase hydrogen supply for refinery and petrochemical customers connected to Air Products' vast Gulf Coast Connection Pipeline system.
Under the long-term agreement, Air Products will build, own and operate a 40 million standard cubic feet per day hydrogen production facility. The facility will process a hydrogen-rich off-gas stream from a new propane dehydrogenation (PDH) facility which Enterprise is currently building in Mont Belvieu, TX. The PDH facility is expected come on line in the third quarter of 2015.
Air Products already processes off-gas at Enterprise's Mont Belvieu complex servicing an existing facility and the deal expands its long-term relationship with Enterprise.
With the agreement in place, Air Products can cater to the increasing demand of its customers as well as increase the supply reliability and flexibility of its system. It also enables the company to purchase more off-gas during the life of the contract.
Air Products benefits from a diverse customer base, sustained pricing power and cost-reduction measures. New business deals and strategic investments are expected to support results in fiscal 2014.
Air Products is also seeing incremental opportunities in the liquefied natural gas (LNG) space. Moreover, it is making significant progress in its hydrogen business and is constructing a new world-scale hydrogen production plant in Canada.
However, Air Products' tonnage gases business continues to face challenges due to maintenance outages. Moreover, higher energy costs pose a threat to margin expansion.
Air Products is a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) stock.
Other companies in the chemical industry with favorable Zacks Rank include Methanex Corporation ( MEOH ), LyondellBasell Industries NV ( LYB ) and Olin Corp. ( OLN ). All of them hold a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).

This is an absolutely beautiful RV park that also provides a few lovely cabins. The park sits right on the beach along what is known as "the Emerald Coast". The sand is pure white and soft and the ocean is emerald green amazingly clear water. There are sand bars offshore so the surf is very manageable. The park offers the upper area which is heavily tree'd and the lower area which is on sand. There are many amenities - being there is February we really enjoyed the covered heated pool and spa. The park offers many activities for the campers which were all fun and gave us an opportunity to make friends. The sites are long, wide and concrete with picnic tables. The upper area seems to be primarily for medium to small RVs and the large RV's seem to at the lower area. Our site was spacious with plenty of room to put out our slides and awning. Access to the park off the street is very easy. And the roads within the park made pulling in and out quite easy. A member of staff takes you to your site upon check-in and helps you get in to your site, if you need the help. Members of staff are working on the park every day all and are very very friendly and helpful. Good cell phone coverage, good cable TV. WiFi was adequate for checking email but not for doing business. There are many many restaurants and shopping very close by. We cannot wait to go back. - JanneC
We found the beautiful Website misleading. This campground was disheveled and neglected looking the minute we drove in. Weeds everywhere and no landscaping attention anywhere on sites with grass. We actually wanted a Beach Front site but local regulations prohibit dogs anywhere near the beach even if you don't walk your dog on the beach. The Office will not rent you a Beach Front site if you have a dog. OK, not a problem. The Office assigned us to a shaded site near the entrance. The site obviously had not been cleaned up in a long time. Banana peels, cigarette butts and animal bones simply tossed around the site and the pool looked like "Polio Pond." I called the office from our motor coach and complained. They said they would send down someone to clean up the area. I told them not to bother because we are leaving now and I wanted a full refund. I didn't wait to hear their spiel about refunds over the phone. I drove our coach up to the Exit and went into the Office. The Manager wasn't too happy about refunding all of our money but eventually did after giving me a difficult time. Save Your Money! We found a better RV resort just one mile away! - Travelholicdog
Expensive beach site with very little space around your RV. Wi-Fi is hit and miss, mostly miss. Can't beat the beach. Water is great and you are parked on the sand. Get a golf cart. Friendly staff and a variety of sites if you want more space and less sand. Shopping, restaurants, tourist things in area if you want. Pools were great. Had 9 people, ages 2-67 with all having a great time. Expensive and not perfect, but for us, well worth it. - Clowndoctor

This park is about a mile off the main drag thru Destin and is quiet, on the water, clean and most facilities worked fine. Watching the birds and boats on the water is great. WiFi only worked in the office. This park is not on a military base which probably accounts for the very close spacing. We have stayed at numerous military famcamps across the country and this one is not typical. While some sites are large enough to fit in a 40 ft motorhome, some are suitable only for a small travel trailer. Parking for towing or towed vehicles is also tight. We were barely able to get our 3/4 ton longbed off the street. Some had to be parked elsewhere. If you are adept at backing and parking your rig, it is OK. Not for beginners though. We would stay here again just for the waterfront and the great places to eat close by. - Bojangles
Army Rec Center is a small complex of motel like apartments, duplex type cabins and closely packed RV sites. The sites are FHU, cement and in some cases almost level. There is a swimming pool, kids water play area, and a fishing pier. A favorite activity seems to be watching the sunset from the rocky coast along the park edge or fishing. Downtown Destin, with it's tourist trap restaurants, store fronts and kiosks is about 1 ½ mile drive/walk. If you have a rooftop satellite dish on your RV, be sure and ask for a site clear of trees. There is cable TV in the sites and apartments. A pressure reducer is not needed for RV's. Patrons make reservations a year in advance to be able to come here. Eglin AFB golf course is located off base and is about a 25 minutes drive from this recreation facility. It is also less expensive than the closer civilian courses. Traffic, especially on weekends, is really slow and backed up coming into Destin so don't be in a hurry. They advertise freeWiFi from hot spots but it is mediocre at best. - 5thwheeler
This park is in a great location. Is right off Hwy 98, just a few miles from the beach and right on the bay. Lots of stores, restaurants, activities close by. It is a small park and is pretty tight pulling in with a larger RV. Some lots are more accessible than other. Our lot had several trees that we had to "hug" with the back of our trailer in order to fit! All lots are back-in. We camped here in a 37' rig. The park is clean, marina right on the premises, nice laundry facility. Would definitely stay here again but will try to get one of the larger and more "user friendly" lots. - travelswithpuppies

Wonderful hidden GEM across from beautiful Miramar Beach. Beautiful emerald green/blue clear water and white sandy beaches. Professional and friendly Check-In. The park is very clean with only 36 sites. The resort loop is all pavers with very nice landscaping. Restrooms and Laundry very clean. Pool is great but some lounge chairs need to be replaced. There's not a lot of additional parking. Backing-in your coach can be difficult when the park is full, just take your time. Ocean beach access is across the street and up some stairs over the sand dunes. We recommend going down the street to "The Whales Tail Restaurant" and walk onto the beach with no problems. The "Whales Tail" also has a beach bar and bathrooms on the beach. Street side parking is free. The resort location is central to everything the area has to offer. Car rental is walking distance from the resort and tons of great area restaurants to try. Would definitely stay here again and again ! . - Travelholicdog
Very nice landscaping. Pool is great. Restrooms very clean. Short walk to beach access. Bike/ walking trail that is on the road in front of the campground is great. Love the size of the campground. Close to everything. - TNfamily
While we were here a rat infestation became an issue. We as well as neighbors had them. Topless sunbathers(that's different). Bath areas and guest lounge need a good cleaning. Beach access is scary as construction is happening next to it. Large equipment races by you on the pathway. The area tho is fantastic. With brand new resorts opening, we will stay elsewhere next visit. - ron 23

This park is a few miles from Harbour Village, however it is a short easy walk (1 block) to the "old highway 98" or Beach strip. Beach access is right there. Also, there are a couple of restaurants nearby. Washrooms and grounds were clean and organized. Lots were wide and spacious. Wifi and cable worked well. We used the Laundromat and had no issues. The price reflects it's closeness to the beach for endless walks. We would recommend it. - gypsy parrotheads
This is a small park off the main roads that is really in Miramar Beach (use this for accurate GPS). If entering off Scenic Gulf Drive make sure you make the first turn into the park. The sites are roomy and everything worked properly. This time of year most of the campers are snowbirds. The beach is about 4 blocks away. Easy access to nearby shopping and restaurants. - jnateg
Well kept quiet park. Has about 30 sites and all are cement pads and patios. The owners are very friendly and more than willing to help. I thought the price ($330 per week) was high considering there was no pool or clubhouse. Considering it is close to main roads, it is surprising how very quiet the park is. It is a great place to stop and rest a while, but really has no amenities to spend very much time there. - Rusty Quilter

One of the nicest campgrounds in Florida. Close to the beach. Not many people around in December. Sites are private and easy to get into. Wide paved roads. Close to shopping etc. Fairly quiet if near to beach vs busy highway. - K Willie
Our second visit to this park during the last three years. One of the best features of this park is its consistency. The park was excellent during our last visit and nothing has changed. Excellent location, beautiful white sand beaches, nicely separated sites, and the cleanest bathrooms. The hosts always rake the pea gravel on your site before you arrive and ensure it is clean. Reservations are needed but if you need a one night stay call since we notice sites are available even when the campground full site is posted. One of our favorite state campgrounds in the South! - linnemj
Large private sites. Good drainage after rain. Wide paved roads with many pull thru sites and very easy back in sites. Beautiful beach and paved nature trails. Gave it a 9 due to no sewer hook ups. One of Florida's best State Parks. - BostonLake

Does anyone know where to get used or decommissioned wine barrels in MA?
Merrimack Valley Homebrew Clubhttp://mvhbc.com/
Contact: firstname.lastname@example.com
I realize I could go there but I am not willing to pay 350 dollars for one. I was wondering if anyone had went to a local winery to buy decommissioned wine barrels.
I have some recycled wine barrels from Calif. located in Durham, CT. They are made from French oak, and hold about 55+ gal. e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com are $99.00 each
I would check out local wineries in MA, I think I remember the tour guide saying they rotate out their barrels after three or four uses. Going rate is around 100 to 200 for a used one. Def try to get one that was just emptied though, the wood won't be so dried out and it will leak less.

Words by TyTe and White Noise
Despite the fact that Beatboxing is an important element of Hip-hop and A Capella, some people still aren't clued up as to what beatboxing is all about!
Beatboxing is The Art of Urban Vocal Percussion. i.e. - imitating drum sounds and beat patterns using your lips, tongue, mouth, throat, and voice. It's summed up with the image of a guy in a hoodie with his hands cupped over his mouth spitting and making wonderful noises.
- Vocal Percussion means making percussion sounds (including drum sounds) with the mouth. Traditionally vocal percussionists in a cappella groups have tried to emulate real drum sounds.
- Beatboxing is a form of vocal percussion in which the artist emulates the sounds of a 'beat box' or drum machine. Today, as the artform is expanding, vocal percussionists use beatboxing techniques and beatboxers use vocal percussion techniques - the difference remains in the style. Beatboxers generally produce more urban styles of music and therefore beatboxing could be called urban vocal percussion.
- Multivocalism is a term used for artists who use beatboxing, vocal scratching, singing, MCing and poetry in their performances.
Where did the term beatbox come from?
Human Beatbox literally means human drum machine and beatbox was originally used as two words 'beat box'.
The term 'beat box' was used as slang for the non-programmable drum machines that were first called rhythm machines. For example, the Roland TR Rhythm Series such as the TR-33, TR-55 that were produced in 1972. Later it was used to refer to a particular line of drum machines - particularly the Roland CR and the later TR series with the Roland CR-78 appearing in 1978.
|However, the first rhythm machine was the Wurlitzer Sideman that was made between 1959 and 1964, and this did come in a large box - so it's possible that the term "beat box" was used to refer to this machine.
|The first time beat box was used to refer directly to a rhythm machine was in the 1970s with the ELI CompuRhythm CR-7030 Beat Box.

|And here is the staple of hip-hop music, the coveted Roland TR-808 drum machine released in 1982.
Where did it all begin?
The history of Beatboxing is blurry. It appears, like graffiti, to have begun it's life as an urban art form. The beginnings of hip-hop are well known - DJs spinning the breakbeats in records with MCs rapping over the top. When MCs starting to rap over drum machine (beat box) beats, in the ghettos such as the Bronx, drum machines and synthesisers could not be afforded (samplers were at this time well out of the reach of even well-paid musicians). Necessity is the mother of invention, and without machine-supplied beats to rap over, a new instrument was created - the mouth - and thus human beatboxing was born.
The Three Kings of the 1980s
In the early to mid eighties, three names stand out head and shoulders above the rest - Darren 'Buffy' Robinson, Doug E Fresh and Biz Markie.
There has been a great deal of discussion about who was the first, however one thing is for sure, and that is that in 1983, a trio from Brooklyn won a talent contest at Radio City Music Hall. The trio, formerly known as The Disco Three, were comprised of Mark "Prince Markie Dee" Morales, Damon "Kool Rock-Ski" Wimbley, and Darren "Buff the Human Beat Box" Robinson. These were The Fat Boys. Buff Love, or Buffy as he came to be known, helped the group win the talent contest through his ability to use his mouth to recreate hip-hop rhythms and a variety of sound effects. The prize? A record contract. Rumour has it that the band were gutted as they wanted to win the second prize of a stereo! Buffy was known for his breathing technique between kicks and snares. The Fat Boys enjoyed a short but successful career. They finally split in the early 1990s to go their separate ways. Sadly, on Dec 10, 1995, Darren "Buffy the Human Beat Box" Robinson died of a heart attack in Rosedale, NY.
Also in 1983, Doug E Fresh (Doug E Davis) made his first appearance on a single for Spotlight called 'Pass the Budda' with Spoonie Gee and DJ Spivey although Doug E. Fresh claims that he invented human beatboxing in 1980. In 1984, Doug featured in the classic hip-hop movie Beat Street alongside the Treacherous Three and this was to launch him as one of the greatest beatboxers of all time. Doug was known for his distinctive style featuring amongst other sounds, the now famous click rolls. In 1985, Doug E Fresh and the Get Fresh Crew (MC Ricky 'Slick Rick' D, Barry Bee and Chill Will) released the now classic hip-hop double-A side, 'The Show/La Di Da Di'.

By 1985, beatboxing was being taken forward by other artistes such as Biz Markie. Although a rapper, he started working as a human beatboxer with acts such as Roxanne Shanté and started developing sounds such as MCing between the beat, the inward handclap and the harmonic tap.
And then there were none...
Beatboxing rode the crest of the hip-hop wave featuring on albums and videos but then it all ended. By the 1990s hip-hop was no longer center stage and beatboxers were held back by people's perceptions of them as novelty value circus acts.
Beatboxing/Vocal Percussion popped up in jazz, and was the foundation for a new breed of A Capella groups using soft organic percussion to keep time in their tracks. The art form spread slowly and quietly into many genres, including rock music with the group The HouseJacks, and jazz great Bobby McFerrin showed off more and more of his skills as his audience grew.
Vocal boundaries where also smashed by Michael Winslow the Vocal Effects Master. You probably know him as the guy from the Police Academy movies who does the amazing sound effects that you, like me, assumed were fake. He also did behind-the-camera sound effects for films such as Back to The Future.
Next time...
In Part 3, we will trace the history of the new school beatboxers, Rahzel, Kela and the role the Internet has played in bringing beatboxing to a wider audience.

Hi, for some reason the slides on my site are not responsive. I see that the demo is responsive. Is there something I need to turn on to make them responsive on my site as well?
Hi biggorilladesign, Its hard to say whats going wrong from here. Please post your remarks in the NOTIME forum via www.theme-dutch.com. Our support staff has more options to help you from there. Thanks a lot in advance for your effort.
Hi, thanks, well actually I see now that the demo slide pictures aren't responsive either. Meaning that when I move my browser inward, the pictures don't actually shrink, nor does the text, the text just kind of folds into itself.
In your screenshot pictures, it appears that this should actually be responsive, as the iPad photo shows the slide picture at a smaller size. Is there a reason why (on the demo either) it isn't shrinking when I make the browser window smaller?
Thanks for your help.
Thanks again for additional info. Please use the Notime forum, since our support staff reports issues to our developers from there. Thanks for your cooperation, and have a nice weekend!
