'Genesis: 1976-1982' Launches Upgrade Of The Band's Catalog With First Of Three Box Sets
May 1st, 2007 8:00pm EDT
Pin it
With the May 15 release of '
: 1976-1982,' Rhino Records debuts the first in a series of three box sets spotlighting 13 studio albums by one of the top-selling recording artists of all time. This 6-CD/6-DVD boxed set encompasses five studio albums recorded between 1976 and 1982, plus a bonus disc offered exclusively with this collection that gathers essential rare tracks scattered among the band's EPs and b-sides.
Produced with help from band members Tony Banks (keyboards),
Phil Collins
(singer/drums) and Mike Rutherford (bass/guitar), 'Genesis: 1976-1982' presents each studio album as a two-disc set--a CD featuring a newly remixed version of the original studio album, and a DVD that includes a 5.1 Surround Sound mix of the album as well as videos, photo galleries, photographic reproductions of tour programs, and interviews with members filmed exclusively for this extensive collection. Three of the DVDs feature previously unreleased live concert footage.
'Genesis: 1976-1982' captures the band's steady evolution from its early days as prog-rock pioneers to the Grammy-winning polished-pop of the group's multi-platinum hits. The series picks up the Genesis' story after the departure of founding member
Peter Gabriel
Now anchored by Banks, Collins, Rutherford and guitar virtuoso Steve Hackett - Genesis returned with
A Trick Of The Tail
(1976). The group's best-selling album up to this point, the record spawned the singles "Ripples" and the title track along with the stunning album-opener "Dance On A Volcano" and the aptly titled instrumental finale "Los Endos." The DVD includes videos for "Robbery, Assault And Battery," "Ripples" and "A Trick Of The Tail," as well as 40 minutes of previously unreleased footage from that year's tour.
Inspired by
Emily Brontë
Wuthering Heights
, Genesis titled their next album
Wind & Wuthering
(1976). The album veers from the progressive complexities of "One For The Vine" and "Eleventh Earl of Mar" to the accessibility of the Rutherford-penned single, "Your Own Special Way." The DVD features video "bootlegs" of the band's 1977 U.S. and Japanese television appearances.
A sly nod to the band's debut as a trio following Hackett's departure, Genesis christened its ninth studio album
And Then There Were Three
(1978). The album was the band's first gold record and was later certified platinum. While maintaining its fair share of art rock elements with "Many Too Many" and "Snowbound," the album also foreshadowed the pop successes to come with "Follow You Follow Me," Genesis' first major hit. The DVD includes videos for "Many Too Many" and "Follow You Follow Me," plus 25 minutes of previously unseen live performances filmed in 1978.
(1980), the band cracked the charts again with "Misunderstanding" and "Turn It On Again" scoring its first #1 album in the U.K. Featuring concise songwriting and a fresh pop sheen, the album also marked the first appearance of Collins' trademark electronic drum sound on the track "Duchess." The band's second gold record in a row, Duke was later certified platinum. The DVD contains videos for "Duchess," "Misunderstanding" and "Turn It On Again" along with nearly 40 minutes of footage of the group performing in 1980 at The Lyceum in London.
Genesis' breakout album
(1981) went on to achieve multi-platinum status thanks to the well-crafted pop of the title track and "No Reply At All," a song the trio collaborated on with the legendary group Earth, Wind and Fire. Among the album's most popular tracks was "Man On The Corner," a song penned by Collins that mixed pop and social commentary. The DVD contains videos for "Abacab," "No Reply At All," "Keep It Dark" and "Man On The Corner."
'Genesis: 1976-1982' concludes with
Extra Tracks 1976 TO 1982
, a disc of rarities offered exclusively as part of this box set. Drawing from the band's wealth of non-album tracks, the compilation contains 13 songs including the hit single "Paperlate" and "You Might Recall" from the EP 3X3 (1982) along with "Match Of The Day" and "Inside and Out" from the EP Spot The Pigeon (1977). Included among the disc's many b-sides are "It's Yourself," "Open Door," "Submarine" and "Evidence Of Autumn," the flip side to the single "Misunderstanding." The DVD of Extra Tracks includes 5.1 mixes of the songs, as well as the video for "Paperlate" and a new interview with the band.

1 Park near La Junta, Colorado
La Junta, Colorado (map) | (719) 384-9580

Nice park, nice helpful folks in the office. Spots are pretty tight with the pull through that was not really a pull through as there were many truck from pipeline workers parked making the exit from the spot impossible. - welvirw89
Jun 2013 - $43.00
The Wi-Fi was pretty good at the spot we checked in. The cable TV was OK. The park is pretty cramped and filled with full timers from a pipe line. Water pressure in the morning was really low. About 15 lbs per my pressure regulator meter. Come to find out the owners were having the grass watered during the time most people would be showering in the morning. Didn't have enough pressure to shower. Hardly enough to even flush the toilet. Big price for poor basic service. - nscaler2
May 2013 - $35.00
There is very little to pick from in this area of Colorado. We are not "KOA" types, but wanted to take in the historic parts of this area, as well as Bent's Fort, so we went with this selection. Most of the park was occupied by road crews and other seasonal workers. Also, it is obvious that much of the remaining parts of the park are "long timers." So, as you look at number of sites available, that is drastically reduced by the above "tenants." In speaking with the front desk, he virtually has only 5-8 spots to work with until September, so if you are traveling through this part of Colorado, I would strongly suggest reservations. We had to make due with a 30 amp site, as all of the 50 amp sites were taken. The pool was being redone, so it was not available. The "dog park" was small, and sandy, but made due. The office staff was very helpful and friendly!!! In fact, I needed to fax some paperwork, and they were able to do that with very little effort. The laundry room was clean but only had 2 dryers for the 4 washers, which were always busy due to the seasonal tenants. I would stay here again simply because the office staff was so helpful. - hootch

1. In a large bowl, combine the soaked chia, milled flax seeds, hemp seeds, chili powder, spirulina and sea salt. Give a stir to mix and set aside.
2. In a blender, add in garlic, onion, raisins, celery stalk, carrot, red bell pepper, sun-dried tomatoes and baby spinach. Coarsely blend all the ingredients.
3. Add in the veggie mixture to the chia seed mixture in the bowl. Mix well until everything is fully combined.
4. Line the de-hydrator tray with a sheet of teflex or parchment paper.
5. Spread out the chia seed and vegetable mixture evenly onto the sheet.
6. Place the tray in the dehydrator and set the temperature to 110 degrees F.
7. After about 6 – 8 hours, carefully peal the chia seed mixture from the sheet. Turn over carefully and return to the dehydrator for another 6 – 8 hours or until the cracker is hard and crispy.
8. Lightly score the crackers once out of the dehydrator.
9. Allow them to cool off and harden completely on the sheet before storing them in an airtight container.
10. Cut the scored crackers and serve them with raw soup, avocado, hummus, raw cheese or any kind of raw dip or spread.
If you find that the crackers get soggy and flimsy when you take them out of the storage container, pop them back in the dehydrator for another couple of hours.

Reflections on the lectionary readings by pastors, preachers, and biblical scholars
Photo by Mary Harrsch
Each Monday we publish Sunday's Coming, an email-only post on the upcoming readings, written by our current Living by the Word columnist.
Email Address
Revelation 7:9–17
This passage from Revelation isn't about the end times, but it is about a future hope. It reminds us that not all endings are bad.
Leviticus 19:1–2, 15–18; Matthew 22:34–46;1 Thessalonians 2:1–8
In Jesus' time, a rabbi's yoke was a set of teachings—that which was required of you. The Lord's "easy and gentle" yoke makes most sense to me in light of our yearning for clarity about what is essential.
Isaiah 45:1–7; Matthew 22:15–22
I thought of Russian president Vladimir Putin as I read Isaiah 45. How would he read this text? How would it read to his supporters in Ukraine?
Isaiah 25:1–9; Exodus 32:1–14
If Exodus 32 describes a time of idolatrous blindness and futility, Isaiah 25 shows us the moment of hope in which God's people are called to live—at all times.
Isaiah 5:1–7; Matthew 21:33–46
Jesus' parable of the so-called "wicked tenant farmers" is a textbook illustration—a parody, even—of the economic and political dynamics of empire.

Saucy Jack & the Space Vixens
Editorial Staff • West End • 8 Dec 2005
So while this collaborative exercise in low camp (book by Charlotte Mann, lyrics by Charlotte Mann and Michael Fidler, and music by Jonathan Croose and Robin Forrest) does not exactly boldly go where no musical has gone before, it certainly entertains with its up-front flaunting of seedy glamour. Liz Cooke's set design includes a bar where members of the cast serve drinks to theatregoers (but not actually during the performance!), in a show which has plenty of audience interaction.
The setting is Saucy Jack's sleazy nightclub on Planet Frottage III, where several of the acts have been murdered by the 'Slingback Killer', who punctures his victims with the heel of a sequined shoe. It seems that any performer who tries to leave the club in a bid for the big time in showbiz is in danger so the intergalactic crime-fighting Space Vixens arrive to investigate. But their leader, Jubilee Climax, is an old flame of the suspect Saucy Jack – will her policing duties be compromised by her emotions?
The story, of course, is just a pretext for a space-age romp of dubious taste, where double entendres are outnumbered only by sequins. The dialogue isn't exactly subtle and the songs are mainly pastiches of disco anthems (with a few torch songs thrown in), but director Michael Fidler and Strictly Come Dancing choreographer Bruno Tonioli make sure the show turns its headlamps on full beam in a riot of glam and glitz. Any substance beneath the style is voiced by the part-narrator and bar-fly cod-psychiatrist Dr von Whackoff, who urges people to forget their inhibitions and express themselves as they desire.
Scott Baker revels in the part of the libidinous Jack, a pantomime villain happy to get it on with either sex, and ex-Steps diva Faye Tozer makes an alluring Jubilee. Space Vixens Bunny Lingus (Melitsa Nicola) and Anna Labia (Gemma Zirfas) fall for plastic smuggler Chesty Prospects (Carmen Cusack) and sax player Sammy Sacks (Joel Karie) respectively. Barman Mitch Maypole (Paul Christopher) and von Whackoff (Mark Carroll) eventually come out of the closet, while Carl Mullaney drags it up as Booby Shevalle.
Something for everyone, you might say.

We may find an array of answers to this question when Ballet v6.0 starts tomorrow at the Joyce. This mini-festival brings together six small ballet companies, mostly from outside New York. They are tiny compared to the companies that do Swan Lake and Bayadère, but they show a curiosity for presenting ballet in a more intimate setting. And after all, Eliot Feld and Cora Cahan started the Joyce as a place to view ballet from up close.
The companies include BalletX from Philly, Whim W'Him from Seattle, Dominic Walsh from Houston, and Company C Contemporary Ballet from the Bay Area. The last two groups are based in New York: Troy Schumacher's BalletCollective and Jessica Lang Dance.

Matthew Neenan of BalletX, Dominic Walsh, and Jessica Lang (click here to see my "Choreography in Focus" with Jessica Lang) already have reputations as choreographers. But Walsh's company has also done works by Bourne and Kylián.
Olivier Wevers, founder of Whim W'him, choreographs but also invites others to make pieces for his group. For this foray, he is producing a classic Bournonville pas de deux, but with two men. (Don't try to take this piece to Russia, where anything hinting of homosexuality can now get you arrested!)
Charles Anderson's ambitious Company C, a 2010 "25 to Watch," is bringing works by Patrick Corbin and Brian Reeder (see our "Choreography in Focus" with Brian Reeder here).

Schumacher, a little cannonball of a dancer from New York City Ballet, uses comrades from that company for BalletCollective. He is working on a collaborations with a photographer and a dramaturge.
No doubt Ballet v6.0 will provide a refreshing look at a classical art. Although the productions will not be spectacular in size, we may see some interesting attempts at reinventing ballet for our times.

Symantec NAC at SEP product
Dear all,
I have read Symantec NAC documents and i see that Self-enforcement is built-in into Symantec Endpoint Protection product.
However, when i downloaded and used trial licence for SEP product from Symantec download page, i only can do: IPS, Firewall, Anti-virus..
I didn't find any SNAC (or Host Integrity) relation in this download.
Any advices for this, or support me in this demo software.
Thanks so much
Comments 6 Comments • Jump to latest comment
you need to have trial license to activate the SNAC component, contact symantec partner or symantec sales for trial
Help Link: http://www.symantec.com/business/support/overview.jsp?pid=54619
You need to install also NAC Manager installation over SEP Manager installation. If you tried to import NAC license SEP Manager,it warns you about, like "this license not covered all products".
So first,download and install NAC Manager over SEP Manager(it's not a real installation actually,just upgrade wizard will be run and import packages for NAC clients) after that you can import license file.

The study shows T-ALL as an epigenetic disease, regulated by a subtle equilibrium between oncogenes and tumor suppressors. Oncogenes like Notch can infiltrate the normal function of PRC2 in specific gene loci leading to cancerous cell transformation. Mutations in PRC2 assist oncogenes like Notch by altering their DNA gene expression.
"Our studies offer new therapy avenues for the treatment of T-ALL," said Dr. Aifantis. "The detection of new genetic alterations in T-ALL provides a new platform for selecting potential treatment strategies for the disease. Drugs that can target histone demethylases, enzymes that catalyze the H3K27me3 modification, could be used alone or in combination with Notch1 inhibitors for the treatment of the disease."

Product description
It began with an unsigned email: `I am a senior member of the intelligence community`. What followed was the most spectacular intelligence breach ever, brought about by one extraordinary man. The consequences have shaken the leaders of nations worldwide, from Obama to Cameron, to the presidents of Brazil, France, and Indonesia, and the chancellor of Germany. Edward Snowden, a young computer genius working for America's National Security Agency, blew the whistle on the way this powerful organisation uses new technology to spy on the entire planet. The spies call it `mastering the internet`. Others call it the death of individual privacy. This is the inside story of Snowden's deeds and the journalists who faced down the pressure from US and British governments to break a remarkable scoop. Snowden's story reads like a globe-trotting thriller, from the day he left his glamorous girlfriend on the island of Hawaii carrying a hard drive full of secrets, to the weeks of his secret-spilling in Hong Kong, and his battle for asylum. Now stuck in Moscow, a uniquely hunted man, he faces US espionage charges and an uncertain future in exile. What drove Snowden to sacrifice himself? Award-winning Guardian journalist Luke Harding answers the question which should trouble every citizen of the internet age.

Wow, it's been a while since I wrote a journal; or have I submitted anything in dA.
I finally finished a work! WOOOOOSH!
and I'm currently doing one as well. So that's technically 2 works down...126 to go...
not to mention my aimed count for A3 works--128. That's a start though, and that's something to look up.
I'll be posting my works soon, if I find a scanner.
In the mean time, I shall continue my mission of making the most impossible of nerds be the hottest men they're supposed to be (man, I should have taken up to be a cosmetic surgeon for this...might consider it when I have the chance...seriously :3 ).

Friday Fun Video: Palm Pre Fans Dreaming in 1960s Technicolor
Springtime, when videos turn their attention towards impending gadgets that are other than the iPhone. Samsung Instinct, BlackBerry Storm, Nokia... what was it again? This time it's the Palm Pre, with interactions lifted from the iPhone and a faux-Scottish accent taken from Scrooge McDuck, and it's dreaming of taking out the iPhone with a little 1960's Adam West Batman ZAP! POW! action, chum.
Only problem? The iPhone is the 2000's Christian Bale style goram Batman.
Best of luck with that little fight, then...

Will Same-Sex Marriage Rile Faith Leaders?
By editor
Originally published on Thu May 10, 2012 10:59 am
President Obama says he supports same-sex marriage, becoming the first sitting U.S. president to come out in favor of the issue. Host Michel Martin looks at what it means for the November elections, and for an issue that many Americans view in religious or moral terms. Martin speaks with two religion reporters: Sarah Posner of Religion Dispatches and David Brody of the Christian Broadcasting Network.

Moody squeaks past G-P in five games
Moody has beaten G-P twice this season
PORTLAND - One perfectly placed tip was the only thing that separated the Moody and Gregory-Portland volleyball teams Tuesday night.
Trojans hitter Delilah Pacheco's tip stopped the Lady Cats from making yet another comeback and enabled Moody to hold them off for a 20-25, 25-22, 25-15, 19-25, 15-13 non-district road victory.
"We just wanted to win," Pacheco said. "We'd beaten them before and we weren't going to lose to them."
"That was our undoing most of the night — all of the tips that we saw," Lady Cats first-year coach Tim Chenette said. "We had to respect some of their hitters and you can't take away everything. They did a good job of finding our holes and exploiting them for points."
Moody also swept G-P in a best-of-three match recently at the CCISD Spikefest tournament.
"My girls know how to fight," Trojans coach Jennifer Ford said. "They went in there and fought and showed what they can do."
The Lady Cats went the distance with Moody this time forcing a decisive fifth game before falling late.
"The resiliency is what I liked," said Chenette, who earlier this season posted his 200th career coaching win and now has 204. "We got down and we fought our way back from 3-1. We got close in that fifth one but couldn't quite seal the deal."
Backed by six straight service points from middle blocker Karina Buerk, G-P used an 8-1 run to erase an early two-point deficit in Game 4 and push it to a fifth game.
The Lady Cats led just once in the finale, 2-1, as Moody used an 11-6 spurt to take a 12-8 lead on setter/defensive specialist Jennifer Cantu's ace. Setter/hitter Alyssa Salinas also had a key kill during that run and Pacheco added another clutch tip.
Setter/hitter Brittany Gonzales' dink sparked a 3-0 run which pulled the Lady Cats to within 12-11. Hitter Leanna Solis had two straight service points to cap that burst for G-P.
Salinas then had another kill before Pacheco delivered two more well-timed tips to put it away.
"She stepped up," Ford said of Pacheco.
Behind Samantha Gandy's two aces, G-P used a 9-1 run to take the opener but Moody wouldn't let that lead hold up.
"It's really frustrating to lose by two points," said Lady Cats middle blocker/hitter Haley Teel, who had a match-high 15 kills. "But I'm really proud of our team. We really fought hard tonight."
G-P setter Morgan Stuive had 20 assists and she combined with libero Kelsey Fishbeck for 16 digs.
Middle blocker/hitter Taylor Williams led Moody with five digs and she combined with Salinas for four aces.

It's a question that's been circulating throughout Flyerland since the first game of the season.
"Who should be the starting goaltender?"
Seeing that head coach Peter Laviolette has been using an "every other game" tandem with his goaltenders, it's obvious that neither Boosh nor Bob is the actual starter.
The Flyers take on the Ducks Thursday evening. So let's throw it out there once again. "Who should be the starting goaltender?"
I'm sure you could make a solid argument for either side. The answer (which, come to think of it, is actually just a glorified opinion), is surprisingly paradoxical.
It doesn't matter.
Yes, I said it. You could start Boosh or Bobrovsky. Fact (erm, opinion) is it doesn't matter who starts. But why?
Let me explain. People have seen the Flyers losing lately (they're 1-2-0 in their home stand so far) and who do they blame? The goaltender.
But the truth of the matter is that goaltending actually isn't the problem. Both Boosh and Bobrovsky have been relatively solid between the pipes from the get-go.
The real problem is the offense. The Flyers are 24th in G/G (goals per game) and 19th in S/G (shots per game). The PP%? 24th in the league.
Stats aside, there is little to no chemistry on any of the lines or with the PP unit. The only line that seems to be solid so far is the fourth line. They've been bringing a solid forecheck and have been matching our opponents' energy and speed. But they aren't expected to produce on the score board, nor have they been.
This is absolutely inexcusable. On paper this team has depth down to the third line. There aren't a lot of NHL teams that can say that. But here we sit, another year where we're failing to meet expectations.
I know Laviolette doesn't want to make any premature moves in adjusting the offense (e.g. not wanting to break up the Briere line because Leino is still adjusting from surgery), but I'm starting to become increasingly annoyed with his inaction. Something needs to be done immediately. Kick guys off the PP unit. Adjust lines. Bench other players, not just Carcillo.
Some of these guys on our offense act like they're privileged. Lavvy needs to sit some of them down for a game. Surprise them. Let them back when they can earn a spot. Make these guys work for the win, because they're not doing that now.
Discipline is also an issue (again). We're 2nd in the league in the number of times we've been shorthanded. We're 28th in the league in PIM/G (which translates to the fact that only two teams have more penalty minutes per game than the Flyers do). Our TkA-GvA ratio is an abysmal -14 (which means that we're giving away the puck fourteen more times than we're taking it away from our opponent). We can't even handle the puck!
And of course when you're on the PK as often as the Flyers are, certain players that aren't a part of the PP unit are going to be sitting on the bench getting cold. They go back on the ice, can't keep up with our opponent, and they, too, create penalty situations.
The lack of discipline of this team is disgustingly cyclical.
Of course, I have to say that it isn't just the offense causing penalties. The defense does it, too.
But as a whole the defense isn't a problem. We're 8th in S/A and we're 11th in PK%. We've been playing solid in our own zone when the defensemen aren't tired from being on the PK. Sure, Matt Carle has been bombing these past few games. But guys like Coburn, Pronger, and Timonen are holding their own.
So I'll say it again: goaltending is not the issue. I know Bobrovsky needs some solid time under his belt, but we've got a good 70-something games to go, then possibly more in the postseason. He'll get his time.
For now, the back-and-forth tandem is working just fine. Also, the defense is alright. It's the offense that's the problem.
"So who should be the starting goaltender?"
Some say Boosh, others say Bobrovsky. Fact remains that it doesn't matter. If our offense doesn't get it's act together this team is going nowhere fast.
Oh, and Flyers? Danny Briere called. He told me to tell you all that he can't do this all by himself.

North Central College ranks among the best colleges in the nation to work for, according to The Chronicle of Higher Education.
In addition to some 815 undergraduate and graduate students who received degrees, a highlight of North Central College's 149th Commencement was the presentation of special awards.
Gerald Gems, North Central College professor of health and physical education, this spring released a book titled "Boxing: A Concise History of the Sweet Science," published by Rowman & Littlefield.
North Central College has been designated as the host site for its NCAA Division III Softball Championship Super Regional series against the 13th-ranked University of St. Thomas (Minn.) on Friday and Saturday, May 16-17.
All games in the best-of-three series will be played at North Central's Shanower Family Field, 435 S. Loomis St. The first game will be played at 4 p.m. Friday, followed by a 1 p.m. start on Saturday. If a third game is necessary, it will be played at 3:30 p.m. Saturday.
Lou Groce '11/M '14, former graduate assistant to the sports information director, has landed a new job—one that's perfectly suited for him.
Starting May 7, he's the new director of media and information for the Midwest Conference (MWC), similar to the College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin (CCIW), but with 11 member institutions. He will handle all sports information duties for 20 sports among all the schools, manage the conference website and promote the MWC brand through various forms of written, visual and social media communications.
North Central College Athletic Director Jim Miller has announced the hiring of Kyle Exline as the first head coach of the Cardinals men's volleyball program. (Story first published at northcentralcardinals.com.) A former NCAA Division I player with coaching experience at the NCAA Division III, high school and club levels, Exline will spend the 2014-2015 academic year recruiting the team, which will take the court for North Central's inaugural season in 2016.
If you've been thinking about ways to enjoy summer this year, North Central College has opened registration for its summer camps and workshops for children and adults. Among the 95 opportunities are nine new camps, ranging from athletics to fine arts to academics and more.
Camps begin in early June and many run through July and early August. Some last several days and include meals and overnight accommodations, while some workshops may last a few hours. Fees vary, of course, depending on the length and type of camp or workshop.
Sara Koski, North Central's head athletic trainer, has only been on the job for about six months but her experience teaching and mentoring students and expertise in concussion treatment has brought fresh knowledge to the College's athletic department.
Students, alumni and other Cardinal fans are showing support for North Central College in Naperville this week as its football team celebrates a historic run in the NCAA Division III playoffs.
"Helping people is my goal," says Steve Hlavac '12, founder and owner of Beyond Measure Training in Naperville. His business was founded on that principle and his life reflects it.
Steve Hlavac '12 has always loved fitness and training. An exercise science graduate, he's the all-time leader in receptions and receiving yards in Cardinal football and was an outfielder in baseball. That passion led to helping college friends with personal training and evolved into a career and the launch of Beyond Measure Training.
North Central College prepares students to be informed,
involved, principled and productive citizens and leaders over their lifetime.

Foie gras speaks of wealth and providence; this high-class spread is a French product made from goose or duck liver and is the central feature in many appetizers, canapes and elegant starters. Here are 5 of my favorite foie gras canapes, each with a very different flavor profile, that will inspire you to love this unique ingredient!

The liver from birds that have funnels forced down their throats every day in order to force feed them and artificially fatten their livers. The birds try to run away from this atrocious practice, but there is no escape. Yeah, really nice product. Should be banned.

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 12/13/12
The preliminary rounds are over. Fantasy owners have traveled a long and winding road to these fantasy playoffs, the culmination of hours and hours of prep work and highs and lows while embracing their inner fandom. Along the way, owners have eked out narrow wins and crushing losses to two decimal places. None of that matters now. The playoff brackets are set and owners are looking forward to a mighty interesting slate of games for this week. It got started on Thursday night with the Bengals and Eagles. Owners celebrated an early touchdown run or BenJarvus Green-Ellis en route to his 100-yard night. Those who trusted Bryce Brown for a bounce-back effort on a short week weren't as fortunate. The rookie tailback lost another fumble (that was returned for a touchdown) and produced just 34 rushing yards on 16 carries (2.1 yards per carry). After setting the league on fire in Weeks 12 and 13, Brown has generated 40 yards on 28 carries in the past two weeks. Shake it off. There's still ...

March Madness History Edition: Girls Six-on-Six in Iowa
The national record (PDF) for the most career points scored in high school basketball is held by a woman: Lynne Lorenzen from Ventura High School. Lorenzen and her sisters played six on six basketball, a fast paced and high scoring game. Six on six was a great tradition in Iowa, surviving until 1993, when Oklahoma became the last state to have games. There is both a documentary and a book detailing the nuanced history of the game in Iowa.

highway hifi, ultramicrogroovey revolution!
Peter Goldmark, developer of early color tv technology, is lesser known for a cooler invention, the Highway Hifi – the first recorded-music player for an automobile. The under-dash system played records provided by Columbia Records which played at 16 ⅔ rpm even when the vehicle was in motion. It was first released with Chrysler models in 1956 but lackluster promotion of the option by both Columbia and Chrysler led to the option being discontinued before the 60s. [more inside]

I wish I'd had the spunk to attempt to sail around the world at thirteen.
"In the beginning, they asked if I was sure I really wanted to do it," says Laura Dekker, the thirteen year old Dutch girl who wants to become the youngest person to ever sail around the world alone. "They have sailed around the world so they know what could happen and that it's not always fun, but I realize that too. But I really wanted to do it so my parents said, 'Good, we'll help you.'"

"Files Vanished, Young Chinese Lose the Future."
Imagine you're living in China, trying to work your way out of the family date farming business (which garners approximately $450 annually). You do all the right things. You apply for (and receive) Communist Party membership. You study literally to the point of collapse, and despite coming from coal-town origins, you score high on your gao kao ("high test," more-or-less the only thing that matters in getting into a Chinese university). Your already-poor family goes deep into debt to send you to college, and you even manage to come out with a degree. Classic rise-up-by-your-own-bootstraps tale, right? However, finally, when you go to apply for a job—your state-sanctioned educational, occupational, and political records are inexplicably, awfully gone. What has happened to that plain manila folder (!) that serves as your only legitimate, official history in Chinese society? Probably stolen and sold so a party official's child can get everything you worked so hard for. And then, of course, your family is detained by party officials when your parents demand to know where the hell your life went. Of course. [more inside]

Every Person is Capable of Being the World's Best "Something"
"The whole dream is that everybody has a world record in them," said Dan Rollman, president and co-founder of the Brooklyn-based Universal Record Database. Since the site went live last fall, more than 1,000 feats have been documented - ranging from the most binder clips on a face (now up to 34) to the longest toenail (seven-eighths of an inch) to the most whoopee cushions sat on without smiling or laughing (presently up to 18), and a few records involving mustaches (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6). Beyond the basics of setting records, the URDB is based on three principles: 1. Honesty and accuracy are pretty much everything, 2. Don't hurt yourself. Don't hurt others. Don't hurt the planet, and 3. Waste sucks. [more inside]

Vinyl makes a comeback this Saturday
Is it "a momentary blip on the inevitable decline of a dying format" or "the onset of an extended revival that will see the record outlive its arch-nemesis the CD?" Last year more people bought vinyl LPs than in any year since Nielsen started keeping track in 1991, nearly doubling sales from the year before. Turntable sales rebounded sharply in 2006. This Saturday, coordinated with the 2nd international Record Store Day, dozens of artists and labels are releasing exclusive vinyl versions of unreleased tracks, rare 7" reissues, remasters and new songs, solely to participating stores. Here's the full list (most with cover art here). [more inside]

A Day in the Life of Abbey Road; (sorry for the prosaic lead-in link - at least I didn't use the word "iconic!") Enjoy watching Beatles' fans and locals negotiate London's famous Abbey Road crosswalk.

A New Creation Resurrected from Obscurity
The New Creation was born in 1970 when Chris Towers, an unknown guitarist from Vancouver, decided to form a Christian rock group with his mother Lorna as lead singer and their neighbor Janet Tiessen on drums. Scared by reports of the hippie excesses of the Manson/Altamont era, Lorna Towers wrote doom-laden, apocalyptic lyrics for the New Creation's aptly titled album, Troubled. The band was unpolished, yet somehow captured a unique lo-fi sound comparable to a hybrid of the Velvet Underground and the Shaggs. The group might be totally forgotten today, if an aging hippie record dealer named Ty Scammel hadn't rescued a copy from a $1 bargain bin, leading to the album's rediscovery by collectors of Christian rock and outsider music.

Death Lives!
Death were a proto-punk trio of black Jehovah's Witnesses based out of Detroit back in 1974. They were almost signed to Columbia, but bailed on the label when Columbia wanted them to change their name. Instead, they self-released a 7" which is now quite a collector's item, influenced as it was by, "Iggy and Stooges, Black Sabbath, Alice Cooper and The Who". But the story doesn't end there. Recently, Bobby Hackney, whose father played in Death along with two of his uncles, learned of the band and, lo and behold, his dad found the master tapes for their unreleased full-length in his attic. Is a new chapter in punk rock history about to be written?

The Thousand Pound Bench Press
A while ago, Slate did an article on "The Race For The Thousand Pound Bench Press." That milestone has been reached but not without controversy, mainly due to the use of the bench shirt, a super-tight supportive shirt without which those Herculean weights could not be lifted. The bench shirt has its defenders but many argue that it amounts to nothing more than cheating. By way of example, here is a video of the current unassisted (or "raw") bench press record and here is a video of the current assisted bench press record. [more inside]

"You know, in this gimmicky world of ours, RCA has never lost sight of what they started out to do: to reproduce sound with so much clarity and fidelity that you could "close your eyes and think you're there."

"I'm a minor player in my own life story."
My name is Zoom and I live on the moon...
You're the star today! In 1976, ABC's Record and Tape Division came up with the Captain Zoom Personalized Birthday Record. A two-minute song with 8 instances of the birthday boy or girl's name was recorded and mastered for a paper-thin flexible 7" record. It was sent in an envelope along with the lyrics to the song, a mini-coloring book, and an order form. In 1978, the Record and Tape Division was disbanded. Robert Stiller, a sales consultant who was involved with the project at ABC, bought the rights to the project and began distributing the record with his own company. Captain Zoom left a lasting impact on those who heard his little jingle.

Regarding Paramount Records
...In 1924 New York Recording Laboratory decided to expand its reach into that market by purchasing the Black Swan label. Founded in 1920 or 1921 by black entrepreneur Harry H. Pace, the pioneering company recorded everything from ragtime to grand opera, as long as it was sung by African-Americans... Paramount's biggest star was Ma Rainey, a blues moaner who influenced the legendary singer Bessie Smith... Paramount did not neglect male blues singers, who tended to be folk artists in the sense that their music was made initially for the entertainment of isolated rural communities. These included the singers and guitarists Charlie Patton... Blind Lemon Jefferson...Compliments of the Season from ParamountsHome--where, among many other things, one can find an online copy of David Evans's biography Charley Patton in Parts 1, 2 and 3 or look at a picture of Skip James in 1932, not to mention a view of Paramount's promotion of Patton as the Masked Marvel. And that is not, as they say, all...

Rolling Stone from Texas
'Pavarotti of the Plains' In 1957, Don Walser stopped recording country music and became a National Guardsman, just as rock 'n' roll took over the airwaves. He stayed with the Guard for 39 years, but around 1990, his performances at Henry's in Austin, Texas developed a following. By the end of the decade, he would sign to Sire Records, open for Ministry and the Butthole Surfers, collaborate with Kronos Quartet and be honored with a National Heritage Award. Walser retired from his music career in 2001 because of ill health. He passed away on Wednesday at age 72.

|Light corn syrup
|1 Cup (16 tbs)
|1⁄4 Teaspoon
|Pure vanilla extract
|2 Tablespoon
Combine the gelatin and 1/2 cup cold water in a mixing bowl, beating with the whisk attachment.
Let stand for 30 minutes.
Combine the sugar, corn syrup, salt and an additional 1/2 cup water in a heavy saucepan over low heat.
Cook until sugar is dissolved, stirring constantly and washing down the side of the pan with a wet pastry brush to dissolve sugar crystals.

Pour the hot syrup slowly and carefully into the gelatin mixture, beating constantly at low speed.
Beat at high speed for about 15 minutes or until mixture is very thick and white and almost tripled in volume.
Beat in the vanilla.
Pour the marshmallow mixture into an 8x12 inch glass baking dish that has been generously dusted with confectioners' sugar.
Let stand, uncovered, for 8 to 10 hours or until dry.
Remove to a board.
Cut into 1 1/2 inch squares with a dry hot knife and dust with additional confectioners' sugar.
