Encinitas' Williams looks back on pioneer career as rock journalist
He has been called "The Godfather of Rock Criticism" and a pioneer of music journalism.
Crawdaddy! magazine founder Paul Williams recently sold the copyrights on his ground-breaking magazine to San Francisco rock archive Wolfgang's Vault, and is now semiretired because of the lingering effects of an accident. The acclaimed author of books on such musical icons as Bob Dylan and Brian Wilson, Williams lives in Encinitas with his wife of 11 years, folk singer Cindy Lee Berryhill, and their young son.
In a recent telephone interview, Williams spoke about some of the favorite music he wrote about in his four decades of music journalism.
While he wrote a book in 1993 listing his top songs of all time ("Rock and Roll: The 100 Best Singles"), he said the two that still stand out above the rest are "Mona" by Bo Diddley and "Heroes and Villains" by the Beach Boys, because of "the way they spoke to me as a teenager.
" 'Mona' was also done by the Rolling Stones very well. For Bo Diddley, it's like everything rolled up into one song. 'Heroes and Villains,' yes, I love that. It's like the entire 'Smile' album compressed into a 45 RPM record. 'Heroes and Villains' captures the beauty that is possible in the rock and roll single."
Asked to pick the best albums of all time, a "desert-islands discs" list, he said, "You can't go wrong with 'Pet Sounds' by the Beach Boys. Bob Dylan -- 'Blonde on Blonde' is a good choice. The Beatles' 'Rubber Soul' -- British or American, either one. I'd be true to my own teenage years if I included the Yardbirds' 'Heart Full of Soul,' the album they put together when the song became a hit.
"The Kinks, you can pick and choose -- you really can't go wrong with one Kinks album. Try 'Something Else by the Kinks' or 'Face to Face.' The Rolling Stones, I'd like 'The Rolling Stones, Now!', which is mostly cover songs, but has that magic. For a desert album, I'd think you'd would want a Band record, 'Music From Big Pink' or the double album that's just called 'The Band.' For something I've written about, I would include 'Sunshine Superman' by Donovan, which I wrote about in my 'Outlaw Blues' book."
Born in Boston in 1948, Williams published a science fiction fanzine at 14. He first published Crawdaddy! in February 1966 (a year before Rolling Stone launched, and three years before Creem) with a 10-page typewritten edition that featured a review of the "Sounds of Silence" album by Simon and Garfunkel. Later issues included the first bylines by such future icons of rock journalism as Jon Landau and Richard Meltzer, among others.
After leaving the magazine in October 1968, he wrote "Outlaw Blues" -- the first of more than 20 books on rock music, human rights, philosophy and other topics. Some of his titles have included a three-volume series, "Bob Dylan, Performing Artist,' and books about Neil Young and science fiction author Philip K. Dick. Williams revived Crawdaddy online in 1993 before selling everything to Wolfgang's Vault (his original issues are available at the Vault Web site).

Davenport aldermen put the brakes on a deal with casino developer Dan Kehl Wednesday night, saying they want more time to look at a new, last-minute proposal.
With no discussion, council members voted to table a development agreement with Dan Kehl for one cycle, with a vote of 9-1. The agreement will appear on the agenda at the next formal council meeting in two weeks.
The decision comes in light of a second proposal from developer Rodney Blackwell. Blackwell teamed up with Canadian investors, and over the weekend, he pitched a new plan to the city that promises more casino, more hotel rooms, and more money for the city.
Wednesday, residents urged council members to table the vote, saying Blackwell's plan is worth taking a closer look at.
"This is a no-brainer. You work for us taxpayers," said one woman.
"Me personally? I go for the money," said another man.
Other residents, though, said "a deal is a deal" and encouraged the council to approve the original agreement with Kehl.
"Dan Kehl is an honest person. He knows what he's doing," said one resident.
"Is it gonna be a slap in his face?" questioned another.
Alderman Gene Meeker was among the aldermen who voted to table the agreement, but he said it was only because he knew that's where the votes would go. Ultimately, he plans to support Kehl.
"To me, it's a handshake. It's an honorable thing to do. When you reach an agreement with somebody, you should carry through with it. So, I was a little disappointed tonight," said Meeker.
Others, though, said the new plan is worth considering.
"Maybe it slows it down by two weeks, but after all this time, what is two more weeks to make sure we're making the best deal possible for the citizens of Davenport?" said Alderman Bill Edmond.
After Wednesday's meeting, Kehl said that although he's disappointed, nothing has really changed.
"Logically, it makes sense for the city to step back and say, 'Hey, we have this other proposal.' Granted, it's the eleventh hour, and it slows things up a little bit, but I think at the end of the day, when they compare the two proposals, they're pretty much going to be the same," said Kehl.
The Riverboat Development Authority, which owns the city's gaming license, chose Kehl as the developer back in May. Kehl said he will continue to negotiate with the Isle of Capri to purchase Rhythm City. Kehl and the Isle have until October 15th to reach a deal.

Interesting story on HLN about a man in Florida arrested for child porn and when Feds looked at his computer they found chats from chatrooms about what he wanted to do with children. Psychologist talking about characteristics of pedophile " unusual obsession with children" hmm
Story claims that Feds starting probe into possible connections to others in Florida. Man arrested was a puppeteer who would state he wanted to rape children burn them or eat them. Would send photos of child porn to someone in Kansas City who turned him into Feds. Psychologist states people should be leery of anyone who has obsession with children wanting to be involved with children speaking inappropriatly about children. Anything could set them off from acting on these delusions. Interesting!
What a sicko! I am glad my kids are grown up. Even when they were little I hated it if they rode their bikes up the street and I could not see them. I'd rather be overprotective to a degree then not be
Certainly is! Makes one wonder what goes on in the mind of these sickos. What happened in their lives to create such demented thoughts or if they were just born with such tendencies and it's just a matter of time before they act them out.
The link above doesn't work.
To quote the great Heather Dubrow, " if everyone is telling you you're dead, it's time to lay down" he needs to lay down in that big ass hole he has dug and cover himself up with all the lies he tells!

Driving better fuel economy
Some trucking firms are using a blend of technology and personal coaching to help their staff drive with greater efficiency. That's because getting more out of the fuel they use makes economic sense – and can benefit the environment.
Profit margins are tight in the trucking industry. And fuel can account for up to 30% of a company's operating costs. So some companies are using innovative fuel management systems to boost efficiency. One such system, Shell FuelSave Partner, is the first to combine fuel purchase data with details on driver behaviour and truck performance collected via an on-board device.
"The information helps us devise the right training for individual drivers," says Andreas August, Managing Director of August Gschwander Transport in Germany, which has been using the system.
The box-like devices are about the same size as a dashboard satellite navigation system. They are installed in the truck cab and connected to the onboard engine computer. The information is analysed and relayed to fleet managers back in the office.
On the road, the device records such things as how aggressively the driver accelerates or brakes and feeds it into the database. Global positioning system (GPS) technology tracks the location and speed of the truck.
The system also calculates carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions for each tonne a truck transports and kilometre it travels.
As a result, trucking firms can better manage their fuel-related environmental footprint and help their customers report on emissions. By autumn 2011 the system was used by more than 130 firms in 11 European countries.

Best boot I've had
By JWP5569
from Southern Oregon
Very comfy boot and very warm. I have used this boot for short hikes (1500 vertical) and ski all day in comfort. This boot has quite a bit of flex, but unless you are railing turns on hard pack its nice and you get used to it. Walk mode works well and I got this boot because I have really wide feet and I love it. Haven't found any downsides to this boot yet

RIS with her castor buck "GC Celtic Dream's Bid on Me".
Hi, my name is Caitlin Gallagher and I co-chair the youth committee for the Majestic Mini Rex Specialty Club with my rabbit friend Alexa Bixel. I started showing mini rex in 2006 after falling in love with the castor variety at a local agricultural fair. My first rabbits were all castors, but then I saw an otter mini rex and had to add that to my herd. I've grown from beginning with just 3 castors to having 16 brood does and 6 herd bucks in black, blue, chocolate, castor, opal and opal. Since I am concentrating on castor, opal and otter the self varieties are there for breeding with the otters.

Clackamas claims National Championship
Fortune repeats as heavyweight champion
http://depts.clackamas.cc.or.us/athl...b27-Champs.jpgSPOKANE, WA -- The Clackamas wrestling team celebrated the 40th anniversary of the program's first national title in 1971 with its second Saturday night in Spokane. In the end, CCC easily outpaced runner-up North Idaho College by 10.5 points, 109 - 98.5. Heavyweight Tyrell Fortune capped off the event by winning his second National title at 285 with a 4-3 decision over Iowa Central's Seth McGregor.
Cougars celebrate following the trophy presentation
The Cougars didn't sit on the laurels of their region championship two weeks ago and came to Eastern Washington ready to prove to the country that their number one ranking wasn't a fluke.
http://depts.clackamas.cc.or.us/athl...ll-Fortune.jpgFriday's action saw North Idaho College hold the top spot most of the day, until the championship quarter finals when CCC climbed from fifth to claim first place in the field of 36 teams at day's end. The Cougars held a slim 1.5 point lead over region rival North Idaho and five points over third place Iowa Central.
Tyrell Fortune throws Iowa Central's Seth McGregor in the 285lbs title match.
After the dust settled Friday evening six of CCC's ten wrestlers were still in action heading into Saturday with five still in the championship round (semifinals) and one in the consolation wrestle-back for third place.
CCC should have been stunned when the team lost 2010 returning All-American and top-ranked 174 pounder Terrence Williams to injury in Friday's quarterfinals, but the squad appeared unfazed as they went on with business as usual - a sign of solid coaching from head coach Josh Rhoden and his assistants Bret Born and Rich Vigorito.
At the tournament's end, the Cougars compiled six NJCAA All-Americans with six top five placings - 133 Martin Gonzalez (4th), 141 Cody Randall (5th), 157 Matt Melendrez (4th), 165 Derek Mestrovich (2nd), 184 Brett Sanchez (3rd) and Fortune with the 285 title.
Of the six day two qualifiers, returning 2009 All-American Sanchez had perhaps the most grueling road to follow. After losing his opener in a 7-0 upset, Sanchez dropped to the consolation side of the bracket where he systematically eliminated six opponents, including third and fifth ranked 184 pounders to stake claim to third place.
Fortune probably faced the strongest field the NJCAA has seen in the heavyweight division in years. In his four matches to the title, he had to face three opponents ranked in the top five in the country. Fortune earned victories on a pair of falls, a major and a 4-3 decision in the final. Not nearly as easy as in 2009 when he pinned all five opponents on his way to his first championship.
A strong third round comeback attempt in the 165lbs championship was not enough for top-ranked Mestrovich as he fell to Rend Lake's second-ranked Issiah Williams in a 10-4 decision. Mestrovich had cruised into the final with a decision and two convincing wins including a 17-4 major decision over #4-ranked Dan McGillivary of Iowa Lakes.
http://depts.clackamas.cc.or.us/athl...ms-Fortune.jpgFifth-ranked Gonzalez fell in the 133 pound semifinals in a close 3-2 decision to the eventual 133 champion, but bounced back with a win in the consolations to get to the third place match. Gonzalez had to settle for fourth place, however, as he made a critical mistake early in the match resulting in a pin to second-ranked Brandon Wright of Iowa Central.
Fortune and Tim Williams pictured together. Prior to Fortune, Williams was the last CCC wrestler to win back-to-back individual titles in '71 & '72.
Randall, who entered the tournament with a #7 ranking at 141, came out of the doors flying on Friday with a tech fall, a pin and a 9-2 decision before falling to the 141 pound runner-up in the semis in a narrow 5-4 double overtime loss. Randall picked up the pieces of the tough loss and eventually took fifth.
Melendrez also had a strong opening day with a 9-4 decision and a pin before losing a 6-1 semifinal decision to second-ranked PJ Starnes of Harper who went on to win the 157 title. Melendrez won his next match with a fall to get to the third place match where he got majored by Gloucester's ninth-ranked Justin Pencock.
Williams along with Kegan Handlovic (125), Billy Goldsberry (149) and Brett Fredrickson (197) all added to the CCC team scores with wins on day one. Unranked Fredrickson also collected team bonus points with another stunning pin of fifth-ranked Bo Younker of SW Oregon. Fredrickson also pinned Younker last month in a match at Clackamas.
http://depts.clackamas.cc.or.us/athl...COY-Rhoden.jpgRhoden, in only his fifth year as head coach, was selected NJCAA National Coach of the Year and at age 30 is one of the youngest coaches ever to win a national team wrestling title. In his previous four years, Rhoden has guided the Cougars to 3rd, 5th, 7th and 8th place finishes and has produced 24 All-Americans in his tenure with the program.
Head coach Josh Rhoden is presented the Coach of the Year award from Tournament Director Al Williams.
CCC had a strong contingent of fans in the stands along with Tim Williams, the last Cougar to win back-to-back national titles. Williams won 142 pound titles in 1971, when CCC won its last title, and again in '72.
Rhoden and staff will be bidding goodbye at the end of the year to Williams and Fortune who are headed to Oregon State next season and to Mestrovich, Fredrickson, Sanchez and Goldsberry who are undecided on their school of choice.

Unlike the earlier FIFA 14 beta of last year, this one has better timing (FIFA World Cup is next month, after all), and is wide open. While it requires Origin, that should be news to nobody (besides, if you have either FIFA 14 or 13, you doubtless have Origin installed). If you've got the World Cup itch, give it a scratching and at least try this beta.

For one thing youd be a bacterium a nifty Martian bacterium, to be sure, but still. For another thing youd be either freeze-dried or in a state of suspended animation the better to survive the thousands or even millions of years you might have spent in space.
