Notes & Personnel Info
|The Wizards: Tom Lewandowski, Jeff See, Rob Brembt, Don Dougherty, Joel Katz.
|Personnel: Rob Brembt, Don Dougherty, Joel Katz (vocals).
|Audio Mixers: Joel Katz; Johnny Maestro.
|Recording information: Broadway South, Fair Lawn, NJ.
|The Wizards were formed in 1981 for a Joel Katz studio project, one of several such groups the singer has fronted over the years. The Wizards per se remained a recording group with Katz on lead vocals until roughly 1985, turning out well-recorded facsimiles of vintage doo wop material that unfortunately added little innovation to the genre. This ten-song sampler presents some of the group's better tracks, including the deliberately nostalgic (in truth, all of Katz's projects fall under the nostalgia tag) "Remember Then," the light, sprung rhythm of "The Key to My Heart," and "Street Corner," which starts out as a homage to a lost era and ends up being yet another love song. As a group essentially caught out of time, the Wizards' deliberate throwback sound means they are virtually indistinguishable from the authentic vocal groups of the actual doo wop era, which is either a great thing or a sad thing, depending on one's stance and position on such things. This brief collection is probably all anyone would need to make the call. ~ Steve Leggett

Daniele Pelligra is quite handy with a bag of crayons. Earlier this year, he showed TopGear.com his designs for a Ferrari LMP1 car. Not only that, he showed it to Ferrari's Big Man In Charge, Luca di Montezemelo, who gave him the thumbs up.
Hybrid Morgan concept sketched
TG's favourite design student knocks out 'Italian' Morgan. With a hybrid drivetrain
So the boy's got skillz. Here's his new project, and one a bit closer to home. Pelligra has spruced up the Morgan Aero Coupe by adding a bit of Italian verve to the design.
You'll no doubt agree that it doesn't look half bad.
Daniele tells us his concept was inspired by such Morgan traditions as 'luxury', 'technology' and 'artisan culture', rather than, say, 'woody' or 'prehistoric'. He tells us he plans to show these sketches to Morgan at the upcoming Paris Motor Show.
Of course, it's not real, not official and probably won't ever happen. But as a flight of fancy, give the boy his dues.

Three decades have passed since the debut of Milton Bradley's Microvision - the first handheld gaming console. We look back and chart the highs and lows of handheld video consoles.
Atari Lynx (1989)
Like the Game Boy, the Atari Lynx turned 20 this year.
The world's first handheld game console equipped with a colour LCD display, it originated as the Handy Boy - an engineering project at game developer Epyx - before Atari acquired and released it in 1989.
Though the Lynx never fared well in the marketplace, Atari in 1991 released a smaller, lighter version, the Lynx II.

NEC TurboExpress (1990)
The NEC TurboExpress was the first handheld console to play game cartridges designed for use in a home video-game console, in this case, the TurboGrafx-16.
The TurboExpress sold for a hefty price and it guzzled batteries like Mechagodzilla, limiting its appeal. Ultimately, it remained a capable-but-flawed rich person's toy.

WASHINGTON — The latest high-tech disruption in the financial markets increases the pressure on Nasdaq and other electronic exchanges to take steps to avoid future breakdowns and manage them better if they do occur.
The three-hour trading outage on the Nasdaq stock exchange Thursday also can be expected to trigger new rounds of regulatory scrutiny on computer-driven trading. Investors' shaky confidence in the markets also took another hit.
The exchange opened as normal on Friday.
Questions about potential dangers of the super-fast electronic trading systems that now dominate the U.S. stock markets ripple again through Wall Street and Washington. Stock trading now relies heavily on computer systems that exploit split-penny price differences. Stocks can be traded in fractions of a second, often by automated programs. That makes the markets more vulnerable to technical failures.
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission expects to put forward next week a plan for new restrictions and oversight on high-speed trading, a person with direct knowledge of the matter said Friday. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the CFTC commissioners haven't yet voted to open the proposed plan to public comment.
The Nasdaq episode cracked the midday calm of a quiet summer trading day on Wall Street. Brokers and traders scrambled to figure out what went wrong.
Nasdaq-OMX CEO Robert Greifeld told CNBC on Friday that unspecified, external factors caused the glitch, and that the exchange followed all the proper procedures to correct the problem.
"We all have to be aware of the other person not acting always in the proper way, and you have to have your system be able to handle defensive driving," Greifeld said. "We're deeply disappointed with what happened yesterday. We aspire to perfection. We want to get to 100 percent up time."
The shutdown appeared to occur in an orderly fashion and didn't upset other parts of the stock market.
But it was a major embarrassment. While hardly as stunning as the "flash crash" that set off a steep and sudden stock-market plunge in May 2010, the Nasdaq disruption some are dubbing the "flash freeze" did stir memories of it.
After the 2010 market break, regulators "never really developed a fix for it, and these kinds of things are going to continue to happen," said Michael Greenberger, a law professor at the University of Maryland who was the top market oversight official at the CFTC in the late 1990s. High-speed trading commanded by mathematical formulas rather than people brings "the possibility of a calamity," Greenberger said.
Regulators need to slow down automated trading by requiring trades to be placed "with human input," he said.

- Two Republican Congressmen think they've found a way to help balance the
budget and restore some Defense spending. And federal
employees would foot the bill. The proposed new law would cancel sequestration
entirely for the Defense Department and a handful of other security-related
agencies in fiscal 2014 and 2015. It would offset that move by requiring federal
employees to contribute more of their salary toward their pension. It would trim
Medicare payments and agricultural subsidies among other entitlement reforms.
Backing the bill are Reps. Jim Bridenstine (R-Okla.) and Doug Lamborn (R-Colo.).
say their bill could reduce deficits by $200 billion over the next 10 years.
(Federal News Radio)
- The head of a House panel on government operations is picking a fight with
several agencies over their real estate. Rep. John Mica (R-Fla.) is vowing to
block two small agencies from moving out of the Old Post Office Building. The
General Services Administration has leased the building to Donald Trump. The
National Endowment for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities are
supposed to pack up and move to Southwest Washington. Mica does not have a problem
with that, but he wants the space for the Federal Trade
Commission. It's part of his plan to expand the National Gallery of Art. The
FTC prefers its current digs. (Federal News Radio)
- Remember the Transportation Security Administration's plan to let passengers
carry pocket knives on board planes? Proposed in March, killed in June. The House
has passed a bill likely to kill such
plans before they even take off. The legislation would give more authority to an
advisory committee on aviation security. It would force TSA to address, in
writing, the committee's concerns and then brief Congress. The agency did not
consult the committee before it made that short-lived decision on pocket knives.
- Ashton Carter steps
down today as the deputy defense secretary. President Obama already announced
his replacement, Christine Fox. Until recently Fox was DoD's director of cost
assessment and program evaluation. Secretary Chuck Hagel described her as a
brilliant defense thinker and proven manager. He said she was an important voice
as the Pentagon struggled to find its way through recent budget cuts and
uncertainty. She starts work tomorrow. Carter served two tours of duty at the
Pentagon under 11 defense secretaries. (Federal News Radio)
- President Barack Obama is losing his principal adviser on the environment.
Nancy Sutley will step down in February from her post as chairwoman of the White
House Council on Environmental Quality. In a statement, the President
says Sutley's efforts show "a healthy environment and a strong economy...can go
hand in hand." The White House says the government has cut its greenhouse gas
emissions by 15 percent during Sutley's four-year tenure. Among other things, the
Council has encouraged federal building managers to use performance contracting to
help conserve energy. It has coordinated interagency efforts on the environment,
including a new initiative to help communities prepare for drought. (White
- When the Environmental Protection Agency banned BP from federal contracts, it
did so illegally. At least, a parade of business and oil-industry associations
think so. National Journal reports a group ranging from the American Petroleum
Institute to TechAmerica are urging a federal court to
overturn the suspension. EPA imposed it after BP pleaded guilty to criminal
charges in the 2010 Gulf of Mexico drilling platform blowout. BP had been a major
fuel supplier to the military. The interest groups argue that barring all parts of
the company from contracts sets a dangerous precedent. In their court brief, they
call the ban an unprecedented assertion of suspension power. (GovExec)
- The Air Force says it will release some newbies from their military service commitments
in efforts to shrink the force. ROTC cadets slated to graduate next year and newly
commissioned graduates waiting to enter active duty may be eligible depending on
their specialties. The Air Force doesn't want to say goodbye entirely. It is
encouraging those who apply for the program to enroll in the Air National Guard or
Air Force Reserve. Those chosen will not have to pay the Air Force back for
scholarships or stipends. (Air Force)
- The healthcare insurance subsidy program might be vulnerable to fraud. That's according to
the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration. The IG worries IRS systems
might not be able to detect a fraudulent income claim in time to prevent the
issuance of a tax refund that includes the subsidy. Auditors did say the IRS has
successfully completed development of a system to calculate subsidies. But it
called on the IRS chief technology officer to update change management controls
and other processes to make sure the system stays accurate. Acting Commissioner
Danny Werfel says the IRS has a strong plan in place to ensure integrity of
subsidy tax credits. But agency staff mostly agreed with the IG recommendations.
(Associated Press)
- Companies can force employees to sign arbitration agreements waiving all
rights to class-action lawsuits. A federal appeals court has overturned a decision by the
National Labor Relations Board. It's a big win for businesses worried about
lawsuits over workplace grievances like unpaid overtime. The case considered a
policy in which Texas-based homebuilding DR Horton required employees to sign
agreements to resolve any workplace disputes in individual arbitration
proceedings. The appeals court says the agreements are fine, but they must clarify
that employees can still file unfair labor charges with the NLRB. (Associated

2011 background
So the background is that Boss called me a few weeks ago. The guy he'd hired to drive the Peterbilt that I'd driven last year didn't work out, and he was wondering whether I had a case of Ice Road Fever?
Definitely not! But, a couple of weeks (which should work with my various commitments here) didn't seem infeasible....
It's been a cold winter in the NWT and the ice was good, I heard. It is also a busy year - several times busier than last year, and everyone was going great guns. There'd be money to make...
I considered it, and realistically in two weeks I could only be reasonably sure of getting 6 trips in. If you can do three a week on a regular basis you're doing pretty well; 6 seemed quite possible in 2 weeks given that I'd be able to push it quite hard for just a short period of time, so I said yes. And I stipulated a return date, because otherwise I just knew I'd be stuck up there for the rest of the season!
I wasn't in the best frame of mind when I flew up, mainly because I wasn't sure that I was doing the right thing...I'd been quite adamant that I wasn't interested in driving this year.
I landed in Yellowknife at 9.15am on Feb 13th and by 11.00am I was in orientation. When that was over I checked with dispatch about the availability of loads and they said to call back in a couple of hours, so I went to the shop to put all my shit in the truck. Also got Boss to remind me what the unmarked switches on the dash did! Called dispatch back at 4.30pm and they said they had a load for me - come to the yard.
So I did. Because of my uncertainty about being there I didn't keep many notes during the first trip, nor did I take many photos (possibly none at all). It is fair to say that Trip #1 did nothing to improve my mental state, but that's a whole different post......!

So I went to dispatch and was told that there was a tridem flat loaded with 18 tires on it sitting at the airport laydown. The airport laydown is new to TCL this year, and this is the only time I went there.
No pics 'cos I wasn't really in the note/picture taking mood, but the tires were quite hard to strap down. Usually heavy equipment tires are a sinch because they have deep treads for the straps to catch in so that they can't slip. But on this load the top tire on each pile was for underground mining equipment and had no tread.
Got 'er done and did my trailer inspection. No brake lights! Remember last year when I was stopped by the DOT for having no brake lights? The problem turned out to be as simple as a breaker that had popped under the dash, so that's the first place I looked and sure enough that's exactly what the problem was. An easy fix, but also rather worrying. Remember all those electrical problems I had last year with no high beams or trailer lights? I hoped that they weren't starting all over again.
I'd booked a t-time for 03:20 which meant I had to be in the yard for 02:20. Time for a few hours . I was shattered actually, as not only had it been a long, non-stop day but I was also a little on edge, this being my first trip.
Feb 14th 2011
Into the yard at 02:20 to get my paperwork, then off to Nuna dispatch half an hour later as is required. Met the folks I'd be running with - two tanker yankers and another freight hauler called Charles. I'm just going to cut straight to the chase here and say that Charles is a dickhead.
The tankers lead the way, me in 3rd and Charles bringing up the rear. By the time we got to Lockhart at 12:30 I was ready to kill him. That little prick had done fewer trips than I've done seasons, and he was trying to tell me how to do the job the entire way. Telling me how to get to the mine and what to do when I got there. Arsehole. I am not the kind to tell someone to fuck off right to their face, but I was this close. Thankfully, while he was going to Diavik I was heading on up the road to BHP so I got to leave him behind when he made the turn for his mine. Good fucking riddance.
I've said nice things - and I'd imagine only nice things - about BHP before. I was glad when I found out that that was where I was going, and no matter how well I expected things to go while I was there, I was in no way prepared for what happened.
When you get right to the mine you take a left off the haul road, and immediately there is a stop sign. You go straight through and the winter road truck parking area is a hundred metres or so further on the right. But when I turned left off the haul road there was a pick-up sitting at the stop sign. I've mentioned before how important it is to come to a complete stop at all stop signs at the mines, but if no one was watching I'd have only done a Hollywood stop in this case. Now that the pick-up is there I start gearing down, preparing for a full stop, and a voice comes over the radio.
"Hey, truck with the tires. Follow me. Don't worry about the sign." He does a u-turn so instead of going through the stop sign I now turn right. I knew this was going to be good so I looked at my watch. 20:40.
They lead me straight to the offload area, and when I had stopped moving they immediately knocked on my door and asked me where my snipe bar was. I told them, and said I'd just get my gear on and jump right out to help them. With one guy on the loader to push the piles of tires off the trailer and two guys plus me on the ground to undo, collect, wind and put away my straps we were a machine! By 20:57 - that's only 17 mins - I was being escorted to the dispatch shack to collect my paperwork so that I could be on my way. Seventeen minutes, folks! Because I had a straight trailer I asked whether I'd be getting a backhaul.
"Nope, too cold to load backhauls" they replied. Good job too, it was well below -50c with the wind chill that night.
I went inside to eat, clean my teeth etc and then hit the bunk. Set my alarm for 02:00 to get up and wait for a ride south.
Feb 15th 2011
Left at 03:00 with a great group of guys. So good that despite the fact that I'd planned at stopping at Lockhart for breakfast, they said they were going to turn and burn and go all the way back to Yellowknife so I said I'd carry on with them into town. But dispatch at Lockhart told us that the road was closed to the south, although they wouldn't say why. We were to pull into camp. The parking lot was very busy.
We were there for just over an hour. I can't remember what the reason for the closure was now, but it was pretty minor - a spin out or some such. At Lockhart I ran into a bunch of familiar faces, Lex, Brennan, D'Arcy, The Hippie.
Made it back to Yellowknife at 15:10.

I might as well say now that I had some serious doubts about going up this year. It was only because I knew it'd be just two weeks that I agreed, and by the time I came home from that first trip I was sure that I'd made a mistake.
But what turned it all around for me by the time I left - and I'd have been happy to stay on by then - was the people. There are some genuinely good people that I only ever get to see once a year up there, and I thoroughly enjoy catching up with them again.
It is funny how I seem to enjoy the guys more when I'm having a good season. Often people will know me and I'll have no idea who they are. They'll tell me that we ran together a couple of times and I'll have no recollection of them - that's something to do with how happy I am at the time. In 2010 at Diavik I ran into a guy called Merv who treated me like an old friend. He told me that the previous year we'd done several trips from Diavik to town together, sharing stories all along the way and generally getting along extremely well. I have no recollection of this at all and it is because the year that happened, 2009, I wasn't having a very good season. (2009 was the first year I drove since the TV show and the first year that they started making serious changes in reaction to it). On the other hand there are friends like Charlie that I ran with in '05 and '06 with whom I can remember specific details about trips, loads and conversations we had.
Sometimes it is only once every several years that I get to see someone. As I was approaching Lockhart northbound I recognized Charlie's truck. I mentioned Charlie a lot at the beginning of this thread. My first year was his first too and we were both hauling for Northwest Transport. He is a great guy and we'd kept in touch on and off since 2006, which was the last year we were both up there together, but I had no idea he was going to be there this year and it was a very pleasant surprise.
And I mentioned Lex in my write up of the first trip. I've talked about him before, too - he's the guy that found a copy of 'Cola Cowboys' at his local library on my recommendation. Lex is an old time Yukoner, easily old enough to be my Dad and he is a righteous dude, I always look forward to talking to him. This year, after a particular incident which I'll write about in due course, I actually made a point of telling him how highly I thought of him, and I don't find it easy to tell people things like that.
I don't want to spoil anything, but the first two pics that I posted from this year hint at something that happened, and during that event I got to spend a great deal of time catching up with all sorts of old friends, as well as to make some new ones. It was good. I'm glad I went.

A funny story from trip #1
One for you, galute - grader opening up Gordon Lake after a storm....
Grader on Gordon Lake from Squonker on Vimeo.
So on trip #1 we were heading north from Lockhart, between there and Mackay Lake when the guy leading the convoy in front of the one I was in (he's been mentioned in this thread before but I'll save him the embarrassment!) said,
"This is my second year up here and I've yet to see a wolverine, but there is one up here beside the Nuna water truck. That's so cool, I'm really glad that I finally got to see one."
And a second voice said.
"This is the water truck. Errr...that's a fox."
That's kinda funny, you know! Even if you have no idea what a wolverine looks like you likely have some recognition of a fox! There was a pause of a couple of seconds, and then someone in a group behind me said,
"Wow, that's embarrassing".

Hello squonker ;
This is my first post but I thank you for sharing your experiences with everyone about your travels on the Tibbitt to Contwoyto . I was up there in '07, '08,and '09 but for family and health reasons I haven't been back.
Certainly enjoy the pictures and video and trust me there are times that I sure miss the road up there . This gentleman named Lex was he driving for Siduo from Whitehorse ? If he is he certainly is a real nice fellow and a pretty good poet at that ! Keep it up and travel safe !

Yes you have the right Lex, although he doesn't drive for Siddhu but another Whitehorse company. His poetry is great and I'm going to be writing more about that later. I'm also going to ask him whether I can print a couple of his poems here, because there are two or three that perfectly capture the road. I've never been lucky enough to capture one of his recitals at Lockhart - would love to see that one day.
Cheers - thanks for posting!

I was leased on with Ventures West maimly hauled from Hay River = Snap Lake/ Diavik . We had a dispatcher named Michelle who had posted some stuff from camp in '08 and had Lex reciting some of his poetry which I felt was pretty cool .
I don't believe that we have met but you had posted a picture of my truck at Lockhart , tarpped in Mack on page 65 . That was nice to see !

The Mothers of Invention: Weasels Ripped My Flesh
As lame as this makes me sound, I don't think I could name a Frank Zappa song to save my life. When I saw this cover I initially thought it was for Blink 182 or a similar band. But this lack of knowledge won't spot me from talking about this iconic album cover and one of my favorite album titles ever.
Neon Park (real name Martin Muller) was working as a poster artist with the Family Dog, a San Francisco design group (I can't find any info on these guys), when he got a call from Frank Zappa asking him to come down to Los Angeles. Zappa showed Park a cover of "Man's Life" from 1956 with the feature article "Weasels ripped my flesh!".
Zappa asked, "This is it. What can you do that's worse than this?" to which Park created the parody of a shaving ad you see on the cover.
John Williams is also credited with "Photography & Art Direction" on the cover who seems to have worked on many of Frank's other albums.
The cover almost didn't see the light of day. Zappa butted heads with Warner Bros. over its suitability for release. "Evidently," says Park, "there was quite a confrontation that occurred over this cover. It wasn't up to their standards." Even after Warner Bros. finally consented to use it, there were problems. "The printer was greatly offended," says Park. "The girl who worked for him, his assistant, she wouldn't touch the painting. She wouldn't pick it up with her hands."
Can you imagine how she would have responded to the Cannibal Corpse albums.
Zappa and Park, meanwhile were tickled silly by the brouhaha: "I was greatly amused by the cover, and so was Frank," says Park. I mean, we giggled a lot." Source
Alternate cover art was produced for the German release although this was done without the bands knowledge or consent. This cover was designed by Dieter Boé.
The album was re-issued with Burnt Weeny Sandwich (another album name I love) as a double album. The original covers were used for the inside booklet with new cover art showing a gun squirting toothpaste.
For a collectors you can get details on every version printed here.
I better download a few albums and brush up on my Zappa knowledge.

I have seen a few images of Neon Park's work, but I can't remember where. He did some paintings of California, Summer, poolside lifestyle, but the bikini girls have ducks heads.
Neon Park did most if not all of the Little Feat album covers.
family dog was also a bar or restaurant that hosted shows. as far as a design group, I'm not too sure about that…
someone should do a feature on Park and his Little Feat covers! they're hilarious!
I'm not big into Zappa, but Weasels is a great jazz-freakout album. sort of crosses early Mothers wackiness with Zappa's rare serious jazz side. Worth getting!
Frank Z. has fun with his albums and album art. Anyone recall the stark cover for "Ship Arriving Too Late to Save a Drowning Witch," immortalizing that particular "droodle"?
On a Zappa note, I strongly recommend you feature the cover art to "We're only in it for the money". A landmark album that parodied the crusty hippy age. The cover is a loving tribute to Srgt Pepper's Lonely Heart Band. George, Ringo and John loved it. Paul moaned, as usual.
Coming late to this discussion, but the further link, other than Neon Park, between Little Feat and 'Weasels Ripped My Flesh' is that it was the only Mothers release that features Lowell George on guitar and strange noises.
You guys should take a look at JamsBio.com
Great site by the way…
A very disturbing image (but with a sense of humour). You know you're in for an uncomfortable ride listening to this one.. I think it matched the music perfectly!
Zappa art albom super humore. Zappa asked, "This is it. What can you do that's worse than this?†to which Park created the parody of a shaving ad you see on the cover. Puppet art- humore Zappa.
'Neon Park (real name Martin Muller) was working as a poster artist with the Family Dog, a San Francisco design group (I can't find any info on these guys.'
I believe the Family Dog was a ballroom which gave the name to a group of artists such as Stanley mouse, Alton Kelley and Rick Griffin. They were a 'loose collective' rather than a formal design studio so you may have to find information about them individually rather than as a group.
First I would like to say I love the site. I love FZ and the MOI. Weasels is one of my favorite album covers. Though Zappa has a few. Overnite sensation, uncle Meat, Mothers live at the Fillmore (which is brilliant for it`s lack of design)check the fine print cover artist Cal Schenkel says he made me do it, and Were only in it for the money. McCartney was actually the one that gave FZ permission to parody Sgt Pepper. Capitol did not like the idea which is why the cover is backwards. The multi faced picture is not the front it is in the gatefold. Overall a great send up. Family dog was a collective of freaks headed up by Chet Helms, I think he discovered Janis Joplin and introduced her to Big Brother. They started up the dance hall scene about the same time as Bill Graham. I think Graham had the first one. You could research Chet Helms.
As meantioned above Cal Schenkel did a lot of the Mothers covers and is an awesome cover designer.
Family Dog was a collective based in San Francisco in the 1960′s, most generally associated with the late Chet Helms. Under the auspices of The Family Dog, Mr. Helms produced rock shows and was an early competitor to the more financially successful Bill Graham. The Family Dog wound up running the Avalon Ballroom, which was later renamed the Fillmore West when it was taken over by Graham. There were many poster artists working for both Helms and Graham at the time.
FAMILY DOG was a BUSINESS… a relatively BIG BUSINESS in the 1960ishes… THERE WERE "Family Dog" Clubs or Night Spots in different cities. For Instance I first saw FRANK ZAPPY and the Original Mammies at the Family Dog in Denver Colorado where the BEAT the BOOTS was recorded… along with Country Joe and the FISH and Jefferson Airplane…ALL ON THE SAME STAGE that evening.
Here's a fairly
fluent Family Dog synopsis ::
Park was apparently parodying this shaving ad, printed in the Saturday Evening Post:
Good find!
Neon Park, AKA Martin Muller gave an original oil painting to my family in 1962. It is signed, inscribed and dated. I am trying to find a possible buyer…it is NOT in his style as an album artist but in fact is a beautiful monoichromatic tan-toned painting which is strikingly powerful. Can anyone give me insight of collectors of his work? Thank you.
wow do you have a photo of that piece? I'd love to update the post with it
I do have a jpeg (front , back and signature) but am not really sure how to attach it to here; can I somehow attach it directly to you?
Just upload to any photo site and post the link?
I am a techno-dino but will see if someone can help me do that.
Thanks for the history lesson. "Weasels" is my favourite album cover evah! Extra thanks for unearthing Neon Park's inspiration. When I was younger and single, I used to have Weasels hanging on the wall (angled at a jaunty tilt) behind my stereo system, along with other striking album covers including Peter Tosh's "No Nuclear War." I sold off a lot of my album collection when I fled the United States (self-imposed political exile from the Bush Regime) but Zappa is one I kept. Now that I've found a haven in a stable country with good used record stores, I'm back to buying old albums, sometimes just for the cover art. I'll have to bookmark your site — it's entertaining AND educational!

Daktylos is the Greek word for "finger". As a unit of measurement it designated the breadth of one finger. I think all fingers (apart from the thumb) are about the same breadth.

The Pro Letarians - Rugrats
Artist: The Pro Letarians
Producer: JO (of The Pro Letarians)
Album: None (Promo Single)
Avg Rating: 4.6 ( 28 votes )
No, The Pro Letarians' new promo single, Rugrats, isn't a tribute to the classic Nickelodeon series of the same name. And if that comes as a disappointment, well, maybe it's time to reevaluate your life and move onto some slightly more mature interests. Like Doug—that show was the sh*t. Moving right along, the Bloomington duo's first feature since June's Good Weather sees Jupiter Jim comparing his opponents in the game to a bunch of bawling babies. JO backs his partner's self-confident bars with an innovative flip of '50's hit Mambo Italiano. This cut isn't attached to any larger project but, if you're left craving more, you can check out the crew's DJBooth-sponsored Hello Forever tape, released back in March and available here for free streaming and download.

Restoring a Lenovo Laptop
I have a new Lenovo T430u that I am trying to backup using Symantec System Recovery (2010 at first and now trying 2013) to a external hard drive. I am then trying to restore this to another identical T430u so that I can save time configuring the laptop.
The back up goes fine and I don't notice any problems. I take all the default options and a few minutes later I'm set. I then boot the other laptop up using the SRD (tried 2010 and 2013 discs) and then I proceed to try and restore it. It claims to have successfully restore, but when I reboot the laptop I keep getting the Lenovo boot menu asking me where to boot from.
I thought maybe I made a bad backup so I tried a new one and no dice. Also tried changing the restore setting to use and not use the restore master boot record and original disc signature. Still didn't work...
Anyone had problems like this and if so do you know what could fix it?

Do you know how to check to see which partition is set "active" - ie the bootable partition?
I haven't used any of the newest generation of Thinkpads yet, but historically IBM/Lenovo had proprietary "service" partitions pre-installed which were accessed using a custom bootloader that was activated with a button called "Access IBM", or later "ThinkVantage". It doesn't look like the T430u has that button though. (Probably has to do with the UEFI firmware)
They used to make a bootable disk that you could use to reset the MBR to point to the correct partition on boot, but that is probably all changed now with the UEFI architecture.
Hey guys, thanks for the responses.
I'm using Windows 7 64bit
Just backing up a single NTFS partition to another single partition. There is a tiny 24GB SSD but I'm not touching that at the time
The bios is set to use both UFEI and Legacy starting with UFEI, however I have tried forcing it to Legacy with no luck.
ok, just trying some more stuff out. It looks like the problem may be that for some reason the system reserved partition is not getting backed up... I'm going to try doing something a little different and see what happens. Any thoughts on why the system reserved partition isn't a option for backing up?
Hi Tony,
The System Reserved Partition should be shown as related drive in backup wizard. Another way would be to check the "Show hidden drives" checkbox on drives pages of Backup wizard.
From your comments above, I am not clear if the machine is in Legacy BIOS mode or in UEFI mode. If originally its in UEFI mode, there should be EFI System Partition (ESP). This can be verified in Diskmgmt.msc UI.
Based on whether the recovery point is of legacy BIOS or UEFI, restore target should also be same. In case of UEFI system restore, please make sure that the target disk type is GPT.
Restore order also need to be confirmed.
Hi Tony,
For restore to work, both EFI and C: needs to be backed-up and restored. I checked on Win7 x64 machine in UEFI mode and the EFI system partition is shown in related drives page whith SSR 2013 backup wizard. Please refer to attached screenshot.
To check further, can you please attach the screenshot of your diskmgmt snap-in?
Hi Tony
Can you try following steps and see if the efi partition is listed in SSR:
1. Start Diskmgmt.msc
2. Right click on the disks which SSR is not able to see
3. Shrink the volume by some nominal size (1GB-5GB)
4. Stop "Symantec System Recovery" and "SymTrackService" services
5. Start "Symantec System Recovery" Service
6. Open SSR console and see if the volumes are enumerated.

5. Normally you'd copy and paste your selection to a new layer at this stage, but Corel's Pick tool does the job for you. Select the Pick tool from the Tools palette and drag your selection to the new, transparent layer that's been created. If you intend to make more than one repair it's a good idea to rename each layer.
Step 5
6. Drag your selection over the damaged area. Use the arrow keys on your keyboard to tweak the movement in very small increments. If needed, select the Eraser tool, change its Opacity to 50 percent and gently trim the edges of your selection. You can also use the Clone tool to add in any missing detail.
Step 6
7. Using a combination of both methods, you can repair most old photos. The edges of a picture may be so damaged, however, that the best thing to do is trim them off. Select the Crop tool from the Tools palette and a crop box will appear on your image. Drag the corners to the correct position, then double-click to crop.
Step 7
8. Now all that remains is to add a clean border. Under Image, select either Picture Frame or Add Borders. Picture Frame will display a selection of fancy frames; Add Borders brings up a dialog box into which you can very simply input the size and colour of your required border.
Step 8

A parent's worst nightmare has become a miraculous testimony—and a best-selling book about Heaven comes to the big screen Show Notes

A parent's worst nightmare has become a miraculous testimony.
You may remember this story from the news. Back in July, 6-year-old Nathan Woessner was buried alive for more than three hours under sand at Indiana Dunes on the shores of Lake Michigan.
Today, he's back with his family after making a complete recovery. Two weeks ago, he joined his mom and dad for his first public appearance in church.
His mother ABC News in Chicago, "God was with Nathan and those working to save him. They'll never know how much we appreciate what they did for us. Thank you."
Authorities say Nathan survived because of an air pocket in the sand. Nathan does not remember anything about the ordeal.
Speaking of the miraculous, The New York best seller "Heaven is Real" will be on the big screen around Easter of next year. As you may know, the book is based on the true story of Colton Burpo, a four-year old who had a near death experience.
As he was undergoing emergency surgery, Colton says he went to heaven. He said, "I was upset because I didn't know what was happening to me, but God used people or things that I liked to calm me down."
After he recovered, Colton shared with his parents details about their lives that were impossible for him to know, including a prayer from his father Todd, and details of his miscarried sister who no one had told him about.
The book was released in November of 2010. By January 2011 there were 200,000 copies in print and it hit # 1 on the New York Times best seller list.
The new movie will star actor Greg Kinnear as Todd Burpo, and if it stays true to the book, it will provide a fantastic opportunity to reach non-Christian friends and relatives.

15.01.09 - By Paul McCreath: All fans of boxing today are familiar with the present day big Russian Nicolay Valuev. This 7 foot 320 pound man is truly a giant. While many have criticised his skills and especially his lack of aggression he has nonetheless managed to win one of the alphabet world titles. He may have ordinary abilities but he is still a hard man to beat. He is not of course the first big man to hold a world title..
In the early thirties another large fellow, Primo Canera was the world heavyweight champ for a time. He was not a giant in the true sense of the word since he was only around 6 foot 6 inches and 270 pounds.Lots of fighters today are nearly that big.
Few fans these days would have any memory of another giant who was even bigger than Valuev. Ewart Potgieter never achieved championship status but for a short period in the mid 1950's he caused quite a stir. At that time we did not have the internet and immediate access to boxing results anywhere in the world. We usually had to wait a month or two to hear about fights taking place anywhere outside of America which in those days almost completely dominated the heavyweight class. Towards the end of 1954 word began to trickle out of the South African province of Natal about a monster sized heavyweight over 7 feet tall who was destroying all opponents placed in the ring with him. We heard his name and eventually found out that he had scored 7 strait KOs all in 2 rounds or less but we knew little else. Could he be a coming menace to the top heavies of the day?
We must remember that back then a normal sized heavyweight would usually weigh around 185 to 190 pounds. Potgieter was relatively speaking even more of a giant then compared to what he would be today. He stood 7 feet 2 inches tall and weighed around 330 pounds,more than 50 % bigger than most others in his class.
The top promoter in Britain at this time was Jack Solomans and Jack knew a good thing when he heard about it. Ewart was brought to the UK and in September of 1955 he made his British debut against a veteran club fighter named Simon Templar who had already contested 48 fights. Simon had won slightly less than half of those bouts but he had been stopped only once by future top ten boxer Joe Erskine in the 8th round. Erskine was 18-0-1 before their bout and Templar seemed a fair test for Potgieter. Ewart stopped Simon in the 6th so the publicity campaign continued.
One month later Noel Reed became British victim number two by a 3rd round KO.Reed was a 37 fight veteran on a similar level to Templar. In fact he had split 4 previous bouts with Templar. By now some fans were beginning to notice that in spite of 9 KOs in a row maybe Ewart was not all that skilled. It was time to give him a real test.
The opponent chosen to find out if Potgieter could really fight was the Canadian James J.Parker, a big man himself at around 250 pounds. Parker was nothing special and in fact was said to like drinking more than he liked training but he brought with him a 27-5-3 record including wins over contenders Jimmy Slade and Charlie Norkus.He had also fought a 12 round draw with Earl Walls for the Canadian title. Walls was a top 10 fighter in those days and Parker was rated by Ring Magazine for a short time as well. This was a pretty big challenge for the 23 year old giant and he did not exactly pass with flying colors. The bout was declared a draw and Ewart looked awful. Most fans thought Parker had been robbed.
One boxing writer at the time wrote than Ewart's most effective punch was accomplished by extending his left arm in front of him and then leaning forward. While he was obviously joking it did not sound good. Parker meanwhile went on from there to defeat another much better African Johnny Arthur and then KO'd German veteran contender Heinz Neuhaus in 3 rounds. He followed that by meeting Archie Moore in front of over 19000 fans at the old Maple Leaf baseball stadium in Toronto in a bout advertised as for the heavyweight title vacated by Rocky Marciano. Parker was stopped in the 9th round.
Sam Solomans had seen enough and so had the British fans.Ewart never would fight in the UK again but he was still unbeaten and after all Parker was a top 10 fighter and Potgieter had only 9 previous fights. Maybe with his size and more experience there was still hope.
It was a little over a year later in January of 1957 when Ewart surfaced again this time in Holyoke Massachusetts against local club fighter Jeff Dyer. Would we see a new and improved Potgieter? Unfortunately not. Dyer won a unanimous decision over 10 rounds. Later developments would suggest this was not such a bad result either because Dyer went on from there to go the full 10 rounds with contenders Wayne Bethea, Zora Folley and Bob Baker and lasted until the 10th round against dangerous Nino Valdez all before the end of that same year.
Potgieter knew better than to hang around Holyoke any longer and headed for Oregon. In the next two months he added two more KOs to his count against easy opponents then in March he had his 4th fight of the year against former top 10 slugger John Holman. Holman had KO wins over Ezzard Charles, Billy Smith and Bob Satterfield and would later go 10 rounds with Bob Baker and Willie Pastrano. While he was no longer at his peak he was still dangerous and he proved it by outpointing Ewart in 10 rounds. This proved to be the last bout for Potgieter. Apparently convinced that his great size was not going to be enough to ever become a top fighter he left boxing for good. His final record was 11 wins all by KO, 2 losses and the draw with Parker. Other than his size he had little to offer as a pro fighter but for a short while he sure had people talking.
Until Valuev came along we never saw another like him.

The IKEA distribution center at the base of the Grapevine is a temple of cardboard and shrink wrap with beeping forklifts and their cousins that glide along the smooth floor.
Tricycle-style bikes with laptops, printers and scanners track inventory among the racks.
In another area, "silos" lined with merchandise reach heights of 80 feet.
About 95 percent of the freight shipped to IKEA arrives in the ports of Los Angeles, Long Beach and Oakland.
Then trucks haul 350 to 450 containers a week to Kern, where they are processed within hours or days, depending on the shipment, by 350 to 450 workers, depending on the season.
The bustling IKEA center is just one example of the distribution and logistics operations that business leaders and the Kern Economic Development Corp. want to attract here to bolster the economy.
The jobs offer reliable paychecks and opportunities for advancement, said Richard Chapman, KEDC's president and chief executive.
Kern's vacancy rate for industrial space with 50,000 square feet or more is a healthy 3.9 percent, said Eric Powers, executive vice president of NAI Capital Commercial. He's in negotiations with tenants looking for 300,000 square feet to 4 million square feet.
Kern has scored other successes in this area.
An Oneida distribution center is next to IKEA. A 350,000-square-foot facility for Famous Footwear is under construction and will likely open in spring 2009.
Target and Sears have distribution centers in Shafter and Delano, respectively.
So far, about 3.3 million square feet of the approved 20 million square feet at the Tejon Industrial Complex is developed,
said Barry Hibbard, vice president of commercial and industrial development at Tejon Ranch.
"We have a ways to go. It's a 10-year plus or minus plan. It really depends on the market," he said.
When it's built out, Hibbard said, 6,000 people will work at centers there.
Kern is an attractive home for logistics because of our location, with the twin ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach to the south and Oakland to the north.
County distribution centers can bring in products from both, and Highway 58 connects with Interstate 40 in Barstow.
That's the primary truck route in the United States, Hibbard said.
A second plus for Kern is trucks headed to Sacramento and San Diego can leave Kern and return the same day.
"We are competitively right in the middle of that in an uncongested area," Hibbard said.
Ontario is among one of the biggest industrial space markets in the nation. But about 25 years ago, the Inland Empire transitioned from an agricultural-based economy to manufacturing, light assembly and logistics.
"We have a very similar labor force today that they did," Hibbard said.
Agricultural laborers are desirable because they are conscientious and familiar with equipment used in warehouses more so than the general population.
These automated facilities are more than big square boxes and require more workers than people realize, said Jon DeCesare, president of World Class Logistics Consulting in Long Beach.
Years ago, a company's supply chain wasn't viewed as it is today. But then Wal-Mart showed the world a sophisticated supply system creates a competitive advantage. The retailer lowered costs of delivering products and got merchandise at the right time to the right place, DeCesare said.
IKEA's facility, adjacent to Interstate 5, serves 16 stores in the West and holds 242,000 pallets, said Edrico Oliver, the distribution center manager.
The goal is to run it as efficiently as possible.
Inside, amid all the boxes, a child's bedroom display includes a bright blue bed, stuffed frogs and turtles and fabric leaves that look like big pea pods jutting out from a painted wall. Scenes like this are spaced throughout the mile-long warehouse.
"At the end of the day, the bottom line is it's all about the customer," Oliver said. "We show the co-workers it's more than a corrugated box."
Hibbard said the goal is to ensure trucks are full going both ways, but that's not happening yet. For example, if a container comes to Kern with IKEA furniture, "let's make sure it's full going out with agricultural products," he said.
Trucks that move goods raise pollution concerns.
About 78,000 trucks, including those that stop at distribution centers, trek through the valley each year and emit nitrogen oxide, according to the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District.
"NOX is the primary culprit for our ozone and particulate problems in the San Joaquin Valley," said Sayed Sadredin, the district's executive director. Kern's geography and topography don't help, either.
But diesel engines are becoming cleaner, and there's demand for the technology. The district received $160 million in Proposition 1B funds to dole out during a four-year period.
It awarded $40 million so far but received $130 million in grant applications, Sadredin said.
The California Air Resources Board will consider adopting regulations to reduce diesel truck emissions in December.
What's missing is data about where the goods that come into the county go, said Robert Phipps, an administrative analyst at the Kern Council of Governments, a planning and transportation agency.
In May, Kern and San Bernardino partnered to survey about 6,000 drivers along 58. Those findings should be ready by the first of the year.
This week, the council will survey truckers using I-5 and Highway 99 about their destinations. That data will be available in early summer, he said.

Poor quality This lamp is of very poor quality. There is a reason why it is sold online only and not in the store. The product is actually packaged with Chinese newspapers inside the box. This shows the unprofessional quality of this product. It is poorely and cheaply made, the lamp shade is so wide that you can see the bare bulb from many angles. Do not purchase. November 21, 2011

Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee today accused Congress and BJP of running a government 'in syndicate' and gave a call for 'parivartan' (change) in the Congress-ruled Assam. "Congress has a syndicate with BJP, they are just running the government in friendship. In the next election, we need a 'parivartan' (change). Assam will also have 'parivartan'," the West Bengal Chief Minister told a public rally here.
Attacking Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, a Rajya Sabha member from Assam, Banerjee questioned what he had done for the state. "You (Assam) have given the PM. What more can you do? How many times has he come to Assam? What work has he done? What has he spoken to the people of Assam? He (Manmohan Singh) comes only during elections to get votes," Banerjee, the West Bengal Chief Minister told a public rally here.
Not sparing BJP Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi either, Banerjee said "BJP is also the same...We had supported the NDA government because of Atal Bihari Vajpayee, for whom we have respect. But we don't have any respect for the one who is communal, we cannot support him. We have respect for all people of all regions."
She said that the people of Assam repeatedly supported Congress governments, both at the Centre and state, but did not get anything in return. "...But in return what have you got? The Congress has a vindictive attitude. They are running with political vendetta," she alleged.
Banerjee said during Congress rule, prices of all essential commodities were rising. "Prices of fertilisers were hiked. They have hiked prices of all items like LPG, petrol, diesel, kerosene. They have privatised the insurance sector. Whatever money they are earning, they are spending on election," she said.
She also ridiculed the Congress' promise that the number of job days under MGNREGA would be increased to 150 days from 100 at present. "They are not paying the states for 100 days work, how will they increase it to 150 days? West Bengal needs Rs 1,000 crore for 100 days' work.
