I know everything happens for a reason....just waiting for my perfect :)
I really don't know what to expect from this, but I'm hoping to find my Mr. Right. I'm a very laid back, easy going type of person. Hate drama so I avoid it if at all possible. I love to cut up and have a good time with lots of laughs. A great sense of humor in in the people I spend time with is a must. I'm for someone who is mature enough and ready for a committed, full-time relationship. I refuse to be anybody's part time or spare time. I am ready to settle down and have a family when the time is right. I love to joke around and hope to find someone to join in the hilarity of this thing called life. Life is too short to not enjoy it and have someone to share it with. I give 100% to my relationships and expect someone who is willing to do the same. I am very close with my family, so the person I might meet would need to be willing to handle certain social situations. I prefer evenings at home with the person I'm with over going out every other night. I believe in romance and putting forth extra effort into people you care about. I'm goofy, loyal and honest. I just would like to meet someone I could be myself with. I love to travel and would love to be able to share that with someone. Overall, I just hope to find true love whether it's here or not :)

Middle of the Road
Anywhere with a beach sounds great. My dream vacation will be Ireland one of these days. Love learning about an area's history and culture.
I absolutely love country music but I listen to a little bit of everything. Favorite food would definitely be Mexican. And I have such a wide range of movie and tv show tastes. Right now I am hooked on the tv show Smash.
I love movies and books. I haven't had a lot of free time lately so the opportunity to just sit at home and relax is a gift. I like going on hikes and trying new things.
I read a little bit of everything. I seem to favor romance and suspense or drama novels. If a book hooks me at the start though, I'll read it.

color matching to hard copyGreetings all. Just checking to see if I missed any great new breakthoughs while I was napping. We are running 60" HP5500's with Onyx Production House 6.5 and have been fortunate enough, that after many moons spent profiling, linearizing etc., we have gotten great and consistent results with color accuracy particularly with Pantones. The problem is, the majority of our work requires us to match colors to client supplied hardcopy. As you can guess, the hardcopy we are matching usually is not very accurate to the file - but it is the color the customer expects to see, and of course - they are extremely critical.
We generally do our matching in Onyx using curves, color substitutions, etc. Occassionly we need to go back to the native application but the Onyx tools work for us on most occasions. My question is - is there any new technology or processes out there that may reduce the time involved?

We still chart too.
I'm still waiting for someone to invent a colorimeter or spectrophotometer that reads a color value, compares it to a manually input PMS color and can correct a given profile to match thru rip software. Seems like it should be a 'simple' algorithm...Although 'seems like' and 'is' are two different things.
Welcome to the Forum!Last edited by PrintDriver; 01-20-2006, 04:44 PM.
Thanks - that is exactly what we are looking for... actually what the big boss is looking for. I actually enjoy colormatching with curves & the like (yes I was dropped on my head) but it is not very efficient.
We have actually played with a manual colorimeter approach using a Pantone ColorCue, taking readings on the sample and the print, getting the cmyk values, and making relative adjustments in the rip, hoping to eventually put together a spreadsheeet that would calculate actual adjustments for us. Unfortunately the ColorCue was just far too inaccurate. I wrote Pantone to ask them if the ColorCue2 was going to be more accurate, the response:
The PANTONE ColorCue 2 has not yet shipped; nor have we seen units.
Thus, I cannot vouch for accuracy.

Microsoft says Cortana is the first 'personal digital assistant' Image Credit: Microsoft April 2, 2014 9:39 AM Harrison Weber 0 If you're not reaching, engaging, and monetizing customers on mobile, you're likely losing them to someone else.

Philanthropy and Society
My Stats
|Contributor Since:
|December 2012
About Me
I get to know dozens of the non-governmental groups trying to help America's disadvantaged in my role at the Manhattan Institute's "social entrepreneurship" award program. And it keeps me wondering about what really works – what philanthropy does well, what government does well and what our "social policy" should be. As a lapsed liberal still worried about how to help (I might say uplift) the poor, a key point for me was writing, in City Journal, about my father's childhood: "How the Agency Saved My Father" (http://www.city-journal.org/html/9_2_how_the_agency.html).
Professionally, I'm vice president for policy research at the Manhattan Institute, and also director of our Social Entrepreneurship Initiative. My latest book, Philanthropy Under Fire, will be published in September, by Encounter Press. In addition, I'm a City Journal contributing editor. From 1987 through 2006, I served as director of case studies in public policy and management at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government, where I was also a fellow at the Hauser Center on Nonprofit Organizations. My writing on the nonprofit sector has appeared in The Wall Street Journal, National Affairs, Society Magazine, The Chronicle of Philanthropy and The Public Interest. I've also written widely on housing policy, including in my book The Trillion-Dollar Housing Mistake: The Failure of American Housing Policy (Ivan R. Dee, 2003), and the monograph Repairing the Ladder: Toward a New Housing Policy Paradigm (Reason Foundation, 1996. My previous lives include one as a documentary filmmaker at WGBH-TV in Boston, where my work won three Emmy awards.

Bath & Doggie WorksRead MoreJustin Bennett appreciates artistic challenges, such as turning a poodle into a blooming tree. He accomplishes this feat with nothing but scissors, brown dye, vibrant flower decorations, and a knack for primping his four-footed clients. The petal-specked pooch is one of the more daring examples of his grooming endeavors—more often he leaves dogs simply clean and chic using a host of all-natural products. Aromatherapy and hydro massages put his canine guests at ease before shampoos and conditioners scrub through their coats, and a brush tackles any lingering knots. His services often include a nail trim, pad cleanup, and a new hairstyle, crafted to suit the dog's breed or the owner's request. Six years of experience with all kinds of breeds has enabled Justin to gussy up most any canine. He strives to imbue Bath & Doggie Works with a spa-like environment, pampering each dog with the same meticulous care he would award his own pet. His customized treatments can even address individual quirks, including shampoo for rampant shedders and a calming, plant-derived liquid for nervous pups, who won't stop trying to twiddle the thumbs they don't have.123 E Drake RdFort Collins, CO US

Zoom Room LongmontRead MoreZoom Room?s dog training facilities have one cardinal rule: owners must be present during class. This is because humans need just as much training as their canine companions when building confidence and communication, and it?s important that owners learn the best positive-reinforcement techniques from the knowledgeable staff. Group classes cover topics ranging from general obedience and agility training to more specific needs such as overcoming shyness. Other classes include Urban Herding, where dogs herd exercise balls into soccer goals indoors, Scent Work, where dogs learn to sniff out missing car keys or the TV remote, and Pup-lates, which is geared toward overweight or senior dogs, or those recovering from an injury. In fact, improving canine social skills is one of Zoom Room?s missions, as evidenced by the regularly hosted fundraiser events and Doggy Disco parties, which give dogs a chance to meet other dogs and expand away from their inner circle of fire hydrants. This combination of training and fun, in addition to the facility?s selection of solution-oriented training gear, natural dog treats, and functional dog accessories, has garnered an array of local and national press.2318 17th Ave.Longmont, CO US

So 5 Elves Walk into a Bar...
The town of Fallcrest, populated by humans and the odd dwarf (gods know why), stands amid the Moon Hills at the falls of the Nentir River. The surrounding ridges shelter several small valleys where farmers and woodsfolk live; few are more than six or seven miles from the town. In general the people outside Fallcrest's walls earn their living by farming or keeping livestock, and the people inside the walls are artisans, laborers, or merchants. Fallcrest is home to The Hairy Apple, the local pub.
Fallcrest is known for its surly constable Jed Milborrow and its hirsute mayor Jerry Lee Wollgar.

|A double prize winner at the Sundance Film Festival and one of the most critically acclaimed films of 2008 Ballast is a stunningly evocative story of personal catastrophe and communal redemption. In the cold winter light of the Mississippi Delta three lonely people stumble under the weight of a shared tragedy. Lawrence (Micheal J. Smith Sr.) is paralyzed with grief after the loss of his twin brother. Twelve-year-old James (Jim Myron Ross) drifts into the perilous orbit of local teenagers while his single mother Marlee (Tarra Riggs) is too exhausted from her menial job to interpret the clues. When sudden violence forces mother and son to flee their home in the night they alight desperately on Lawrence s property. Though this provides safe harbor it rekindles the fury of a bitter longstanding conflict. Writer-director Lance Hammer and his gifted cast of local non-professional actors have created an unflinching profoundly humane story of lost souls forced by circumstance to seek solace in the most unlikely of places. Actors: Micheal J. Smith JimMyron Ross Tarra Riggs Johnny McPhail. Directors: Lance Hammer. Format: AC-3 Anamorphic Color Dolby NTSC Subtitled Surround Sound Widescreen. Language: English. Subtitles: French Spanish. Region: Region 1 (U.S. and Canada only.). Aspect Ratio: 2.35:1. Number of discs: 1. Rated: Unrated. Studio: KINO INTERNATIONAL. Release Date: November 10 2009. Run Time: 96 minutes.
Editor's NoteWinner of numerous prizes at prestigious film festivals all around the world, including Sundance, San Francisco, and Buenos Aires, BALLAST is a stunning, emotionally powerful feature-film debut from Lance Hammer, who wrote, directed, and edited the film and served as one of the producers. After his brother commits suicide, Lawrence (Michael J. Smith Sr.) stops going to work at his convenience store, instead just sitting alone at home, staring straight ahead at the television, like a zombie. When his 12-year-old nephew, James (JimMyron Ross), pulls a gun on him and demands money, Lawrence barely reacts, not caring about anything. James needs the money to pay off the local drug dealers for the crack he has been smoking. Meanwhile, James's mother, Marlee (Tarra Riggs), is scrubbing toilets to earn whatever she can to afford food and clothing for her son. But when Marla finds out that her son's life is in danger, they run away to stay with Lawrence, triggering long-held memories and problems that slowly boil to the surface. BALLAST is set in the Mississippi Delta, shot on location with nonprofessional actors who live in the region. Although there was a script, the dialogue was mostly improvised, and Hammer uses only natural sound and light, heightening the reality of the hard lives these people lead. Director of photography Lol Crawley often creates beautiful exterior landscapes that offer hope for the main characters, juxtaposing them with interior shots that find them contained in small places, trapped in their situation. BALLAST is a bold, brutal work, filled with pain and honesty, violence and warmth, offering no easy answers.

1997 Plymouth Breeze Q&A
1997 Plymouth Breeze Question: would the speed sensor cause a temporarily loss of power at acceleration?
when this happens it doesn't seem to be gettin power. engine will stay running properly and within a few seconds the power comes back. until this happens again. could happen 2 or 3 times per da.y. some days it may not at all - 97breeze
Answer 1
The speed sensor has to do with the transmission, and not so much to do with the "power plant" (engine). However, if it feels like the engine was released from load (and maybe revs up), you may be experiencing transmission slippage. What was the last time you checked your transmission fluid level? The four speed automatics are VERY sensitive to both fluid level and fluid viscosity (thickness)! You ARE using ONLY ATF-3 or ATF-4, aren't you? If you are using ANYTHING else, you are destroying your 4-speed automatic transmission! - MasterMech

Report Documents Preventable Pedestrian Deaths, Ranks Most Dangerous Metro Areas
Older adults, children most threatened by streets built for speed, not safety
PR Newswire
WASHINGTON, May 20, 2014
WASHINGTON, May 20, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- More than 47,000 people were killed while walking in the U.S. between 2003 and 2012, at a rate that has been rising in the last few years. The majority of those deaths likely could have been prevented with safer street design, according to a new report released today by the National Complete Streets Coalition, a program of Smart Growth America, in conjunction with AARP and American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA).
Dangerous by Design 2014 also ranks America's major metropolitan areas according to a Pedestrian Danger Index that assesses how safe pedestrians are while walking. The four most dangerous – Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville, and Miami – are all in Florida. The others in the top 10 most dangerous list are: Memphis, Phoenix, Houston, Birmingham (new to this year's top 10), Atlanta, and Charlotte.
"We are allowing an epidemic of pedestrian fatalities, brought on by streets designed for speed and not safety, to take nearly 5,000 lives a year; a number that increased six percent between 2011 and 2012," said Roger Millar, Director of the National Complete Streets Coalition. "Not only is that number simply too high, but these deaths are easily prevented through policy, design, and practice. State and local transportation leaders need to prioritize the implementation of Complete Streets policies that keep everyone safe."
The report presents data on pedestrian fatalities and injuries in every U.S. metro area, as well as state by state assessments and an online, interactive map showing the locations where pedestrian fatalities have occurred.
More than 676,000 pedestrians were injured over the decade, equivalent to a pedestrian being struck by a car or truck every eight minutes. That rate increases significantly for more vulnerable populations such as older adults, children and people of color. While just 12.6 percent of the total population, those over the age of 65 years old account for nearly 21 percent of pedestrian fatalities nationwide.
"Older persons account for one in every five pedestrian fatalities and have the greatest fatality rate of any population group," said AARP Executive Vice President Nancy LeaMond. "America's state, federal and community leaders should focus on making our streets safer – which will benefit everyone, including the growing number of older Americans."
Children 15 years and younger represent a significantly at-risk population, and fatal pedestrian injury remains a leading cause of death. Between 2003 and 2010 (the most recent year for which data is available about children), 4,394 children were killed while walking.
Among people of color, blacks and African Americans suffer a pedestrian fatality 60 percent higher than non-Hispanic whites, and Hispanics of any race have a rate nearly 43 percent higher.
The majority of pedestrian deaths occur on roadways that encourage speeding, and speeding is a factor in nearly one-third of all traffic fatalities. The report finds that these deaths can be prevented through changes to the design of our streets: providing sidewalks, installing high-visibility crosswalks and refuge islands, and calming traffic speeds.
This has proved true for roads such as NE 125th St. in Seattle, WA. In 2011, the city added a marked crosswalk, reduced the number of travel lanes, and installed bike lanes, along with other measures, to provide for the safety of pedestrians in a high-crash corridor where 87 percent of drivers were speeding. The modifications have reduced the rate of collisions by 10 percent and speeding by 11 percent and led to more people walking and biking along the roadway.
"More and more Americans are choosing communities that are walkable and accessible for pedestrians, children and older Americans, but that shouldn't be a luxury," said Nancy Somerville, Executive Vice President & CEO of American Society of Landscape Architects. "Simple and affordable additions or retrofits to traffic signals, pedestrian islands and sidewalks can make a huge difference in safety and protection."
The National Complete Streets Coalition recommends states take action to improve safety for pedestrians in communities nationwide:
- Increase the available funding and maximize the use of existing federal programs for walking and bicycling projects.
- Adopt a Complete Streets policy and comprehensive implementation plan.
- Emphasize walking and bicycling in the Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP).
- Reform measures of congestion, such as level of service, to account for the needs of all travelers.
- Update design policies and standards.
- Standardize and gather more comprehensive data on pedestrian crashes.
- Give local cities and towns more control over their own speed limits.
- Encourage collaboration across transportation, public health, and law enforcement agencies.

Convicted Serial Killer Appeared on 'The Dating Game'
Rodney Alcala, a serial killer convicted for the deaths of four women and a child, appeared as "Bachelor No. 1" on a 1978 episode of 'The Dating Game' hosted by Jim Lange. And here's the most f-ed up part, he won!
Buzzerblog found the actual episode on YouTube, that never-ending fountain of "Keyboard Cat" entertainment, of Alcala competing for the heart of one Cheryl Bradshaw. CNN also talked to one of his fellow bachelors who described him as "obnoxious" and "creepy," which incidentally is how most people describe what it feels like to watch a full episode of 'The Dating Game.'
CBS makes a deal for Let's Make a Deal with Wayne Brady
CBS has confirmed they are replacing the outgoing Guiding Light with a remake of the classic Let's Make a Deal.
The ex-Tiffany network has already shot a test pilot of the updated show with smiling crooner Wayne Brady in the host's chair. Brady hasn't officially won the job, but he's the front-running favorite. CBS executives are expected to make Brady's deal official later today at the Television Critics Association hoedown, unless, of course, he chooses to go for what's behind Door Number Two. Don't do it Wayne! It's just a lifetime supply of goat feed!

A history of reality television (part five): I take this millionaire bachelor to be my geeky newlywed date - VIDEOS
For some, watching relationship-based reality programming is not their idea of a pleasant night in. Why should they watch shows about finding and keeping love when it takes so long to find that right person in real life? Yet, since the mid-'60s, viewers have turned-in to watch others search for their soul mate. Or, at least their soul mate of the hour.
Of course, in the time of the Reality Revolution, the way love was found on television changed a bit. Rather than asking a simple set of questions to a set of bachelors or bachelorettes sitting behind a wall, men and women would compete for the love of a well-to-do bachelor or bachelorette, or a rapper/model, or a washed up 80s hair band star. They would even compete to see if their love could withstand an onslaught of temptation.
Sometimes they would find their one true love on these reality show. Other times they would be tossed away, their hearts broken, like a piece of paper. Along the way they would be love, sex, fights, sex, heartfelt moments, and sex. With reality programming being what it is, the viewers ate it all up.

Heavy use of antibiotics in nursing homes equates to risk for residents:...
The debate around a proposed methadone clinic for 527 Wellington Road essentially came down to one issue that was summed by rather succinctly by Ward 8 Councillor Paul Hubert.
"The thing is, 300 metres is 300 metres. And I'm not sure how we cut around that," said Hubert during a special meeting of the Planning and Environment Committee on Tuesday (Feb. 19) at Centennial Hall.
Approximately 60 London residents — predominantly those living in the area around Sir George Etienne Cartier Public School — attended the public participation meeting. The proposed site for the clinic is in a former paint supply store located on Wellington Road directly across from where St. Joseph's Health Care is currently constructing the new Regional Mental Health Care London facility.
The committee, including Hubert, chair and Ward 1 Councillor Bud Polhill, Ward 9 Councillor Dale Henderson, Ward 14 Councillor Sandy White and Mayor Joe Fontana voted unanimously to accept staff's refusal of the application. Ward 6 councillor Nancy Branscombe was absent from the meeting.
Despite the committee's unanimous acceptance of staff's recommendation to refuse the application, the issue still has to go before the full council for final approval.
Hubert summed up the feelings of many on the committee, and many in the audience as well, as to why the zoning application should be denied.
"If we are going to have any boundaries, we have to hold to some of those things or otherwise it is just a guess and we are whistling Dixie," Hubert said. "I just can't get there in my mind. I can't figure it out from a planning perspective, from a philosophy perspective."
Although staff had nearly a half-dozen reasons why it recommended rejecting the application, the key point was the distance from Sir George Etienne Cartier, which is measured as 251 metres "as the crow flies," a term used by several committee and community members Tuesday evening.
Officials from the applicant, Towards Recovery Clinics, including CEO Cam Crawford, said all relevant criteria had been met, including the distance measure. However, Crawford said the issue was not a straight-line distance between the proposed clinic and the school, but rather the actual distance someone would need to walk or drive a vehicle to reach either location.
"This site is 457 metres walking distance on public sidewalks and more than a kilometre driving distance," Crawford said. "Unless you are familiar with the neighbourhood, you don't even know it exists."
Stephen Couture, a London resident and former city planning official, was among the dozen speakers to step up and present their positions to the committee. Couture said he encouraged councillors to stick to a policy that is just nine months old, but that was also crafted over a nearly two-year process.
The strength of the policy, Couture said, came in how it defined the 300-metre distance from the nearby public school.
"The language of the policy is very clear. The language uses the phrase, must be, not may be, so there is no flexibility and that was the intent of city council," Couture said. "These facilities must be located beyond the 300-metre threshold."
Rick Wood was another speaker against the proposal and he used a more emotional argument than Couture's technical description. The approach makes even greater sense when considering Wood is the principal at Sir George Etienne Cartier.
"Cartier public school is not just where my fence line is and it isn't just the building, it isn't the bricks and mortar, it is about the people who are there everyday," Wood said. "I would like you to help us keep that as a safe, family community. Help me do my job."
Janet Hunt was the lone person to speak in defence of the application. A registered nurse, Hunt said she couldn't think of a better place for a clinic to be built.
At the risk of being "the bad dog," Hunt said that there are a lot of people in London that have problems and that families, "reach out to help others," particularly in a time of need. "Having a facility like this within the catchment of a major emergency department, and right across the road from where we will have a mental health facility . . . if there are problems, these people can get the help they need as soon as possible."
After the committee made its decision, Crawford said — and assuming council votes to accept the committee recommendation as well — there are options open to Towards Recovery Clinics Inc. Those options, Crawford said, include a challenge before the Ontario Municipal Board or even looking at alternative sites.
Ward 12 Councillor Harold Usher, who isn't a member of the committee, but is the area representative on council, said the 300-metre distance was chosen after two years of careful consideration and that it should remain the measuring stick for all applications.
"If you start changing the rules all the time, if you change it 250 metres then someone will come along and change it 225," Usher said. "There are other locations. We are not trying to chase them out of the city, we are just saying not at that location."

4.0 out of 5 stars Highly influential proto-metal and more,
Michael Topper (Pacific Palisades, California United States) - See all my reviews
Jeff Beck's most innovative and creative work was made between the years 1965-68, beginning with the Yardbirds and then with the first lineup of the Jeff Beck Group, who recorded their debut album "Truth" in 1968. On the basis of these few years alone, Beck deserves a place as one of rock's two or three greatest guitarists, and "Truth" gives the listener an example of his genius when he was still a groundbreaking pioneer.
"Truth" basically sounds like a blueprint for Led Zeppelin's
first album; you have the supergroup formula of previously
unknown virtuoso singer, thunderously heavy rhythm section and
amplified psychedelic blues heroics laying the groundwork for
heavy metal. The two albums even share a cover of "You Shook Me": play them both to compare. "Truth" is only slightly less impressive than "Led Zeppelin I", although it gains points for having been released a whopping seven months earlier. Rod Stewart *never* sounded better, particularly on epics like "Morning Dew" and "I Ain't Superstitious", where his sincerity and unpretentiousness is a stark contrast to his current image. Nicky Hopkins plays some brilliant piano, and Micky Waller's thumping drum style very much parallels John Bonham's. Speaking of Zep, both Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones appear with Hopkins and Keith Moon on "Beck's Bolero", a soaring psych instrumental recorded when Beck was still in the Yardbirds and a truly tasty confection that remains a high point in his
entire career.
Beck's guitar work essentially picks up right where he left off on The Yardbirds' 1966 "Roger The Engineer" album, with the addition of an ear-shattering wah-wah on tracks like "You Shook Me" and "I Ain't Superstitious". The blues quotient is also a bit higher, and he lays down some fine licks and solos that fit right in with the heavy atmosphere of the time. A cover of "Shapes Of Things" and the aforementioned "Beck's Bolero" provide moments of psychedelic greatness, while "Morning Dew" features some very sensitive, emotional playing. Beck's unique style colors even his interpretation of "Greensleeves", which foreshadows the acoustic interlude sections of later metal albums (think "Orchid" on "Master Of Reality").
I still slightly prefer "Zep I"; Page's band was a little
tighter, the production was a little better, and Plant was even more awesome than Stewart. But for anyone who likes The Yardbirds, early Zep or early metal in general, this is an easy pick and the best tracks here ("Shapes Of Things", "Morning Dew", "Beck's Bolero", "I Ain't Superstitious") are about as good as rock gets.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great British Blues Album,
Mark Anderson (Victoria, BC, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Truth (Expanded) (Audio CD)
There seems to be a major resurgence of interest in 1970s music as today's 15-25 year olds rediscover music from that decade. I grew up in the 70s and my friends' teenaged sons are now frequently asking me about 70s bands and looking for lesser known bands and albums from that era.
Jeff Beck is hardly a "lesser known" artist but, in my defence, I've discovered that many of the young guys asking me about 70s music have, surprisingly, never heard of Jeff Beck. So to help rectify that situation.......
This is one of my favorite Jeff Beck albums. It's actually from 1969 rather than the 1970s but close enough.
Some well known musicians appeared with Beck on this album; Rod Stewart did vocals, Ron Wood (later of The Faces, now with The Rolling Stones) played bass,, and Mick Waller (who also appeared on those classic early 1970s Rod Stewart Mercury recordings, like Maggie May and Every Picture Tells A Story) was on drums.
Before this album came out, Jeff Beck had come to prominence as the lead guitarist for The Yardbirds, a spot occupied earlier, at different times, by Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page. Clapton, Page and Beck were all blues based players and one of the most interesting things about this album is that it highlights the different directions Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck were taking British blues after their respective stints in The Yardbirds.
This album came out in the same year as Led Zeppelin's first album and both albums featured Willie Dixon's "You Shook Me." It's interesting to hear the differences in the approaches Beck and Page took to that song, and others. Jimmy Page and Led Zeppelin went their way, Jeff Beck went his.
Any guitar player, or aspiring guitar player, should have this album.
If you're exploring 1970s music, check out this album. It's less that $10 and it's well worth the money. If you like this, I'd also suggest checking out Jeff Beck's guitar instrumental albums "Blow By Blow" and "Wired", released in the mid 1970s. Both are great albums which will be of particular interest to guitar fans and guitar players. Both are less than $10 on Amazon.
If you're not familiar with Jeff Beck and you want to check out some other Beck material before you buy it, there's plenty of Jeff Beck material on You Tube.
To sum up, this is great album. If you're discovering/re-discovering 1970s (OK, this was actually from 1969) music, this one should be in your music collection.

"jaimeurrutia" (MIAMI, FLORIDA United States) - See all my reviews
Algunos meses antes que Led Zeppelin se apropiara de la formula ganadora heroe guitarrista/cantante estrella, Jeff Beck ya había hecho el intento pero sin mucha suerte ante las masas. Hablar de plagio sería injusto, si se toma en cuenta que Beck y Page venían de la misma escuela y por si fuera poco el último hasta participó en el álbum. Y aunque el tiempo se ha encargado de elevar a Truth a la categoría de obra fundamental del blues rock más pesado de los 60's, a mi juicio le sigue faltando algún ingrediente para merecer tal categoría.
Como el rock no puede eludir las comparaciones, aquí van algunas: la versión de Shapes Of Things, pese a la impecable ejecución, no tiene la misma dinámica que la de los Yardbirds. La de You Shook Me, además y por el hecho de ser más breve no logra la intensidad y sentido de aventura que abunda en la de Zeppelin. Rock My Plimsoul y Blues Deluxe son dos piezas ejecutadas a la perfección, con un dúo que ya se lo quisiera cualquier grupo de la época, pero se pide a gritos algo más que las haga sobresalir entre los miles de intentos similares, no tanta limpieza y más viscersalidad
Cuando el grupo se atreve a algo distinto funciona mejor, como en el caso de Beck's Bolero (que pertenece a Page y está basada en Ravel, muy original!!). I Ain't Superstitious no tiene peros, estupenda guitarra como es habitual, potente vocalización de Stewart como en todo el álbum, contundente sección rítmica y por sobre todo mucha crudeza. Truth gusta pero no apasiona, algo peligroso en el ambiente del rock.
5.0 out of 5 stars ROCK MY PLIMSOUL!!!,
Josh H. (Toledo, Oh (USA)) - See all my reviews
Mere words cannot do this album justice. All the songs are excellent. The only one that's below average is the lackluster rearrangement of "Shapes Of Things. Jeff solos like wildfire on "Let Me Love You", "Blues Deluxe" and "Rock My Plimsoul", which is one of the most AWESOME blues songs ever recorded. The pounding bass and sensual vocals of Rod Stewart make it even better. "Morning Dew" and "Old Man River" are both haunting pieces of work that take one's breath away. "You Shook Me" is not quite as good as Zeppelin's version, although you can't really compare one to another. And "Greensleeves" is pure Heaven. The most beautiful, emotional notes to ever emanate from an acoustic guitar. It never ceases to amaze me. "Beck's Bolero" is a total trip, an otherworldly experience. I love it when Beck slows down and plays those oh so lovely notes at about 0:34 into the song. "Blues Deluxe" features some astounding piano from Nicky Hopkins and a BLISTERING solo from Jeff. And Stewart sounds simply kick-a** on "I Ain't Superstitious".
All in all, I would definitely recommend this album to any blues/rock lover. Jeff Beck is unreal, and this is his masterpiece. "Rock My Plimsoul" alone is worth the price of the album.

5.0 out of 5 stars A defining moment in proto-metal and hard rock,
John Ballantyne (Cary, IL) - See all my reviews
Jeff Beck never attained the success of other hard rock/proto-metal artists like Led Zeppelin, but he was just as important and influential. On his debut album "Truth", Beck lays down the law for hard rock guitar playing, and his fantastic band showed everyone how to do the rest.
Beck's days with the Yardbirds don't go untold - the opening track is an interesting and inspired cover of the old 'birdie's hit "Shapes of Things". Some people don't like it as much as the original, and maybe it's not as psychedelic or as bouncy, but I think it is a fine performance. Beck and his band really shine on other tracks, though. "Let Me Love You", "You Shook Me" and "I Ain't Superstitious" are all highlights and some of the hardest rocking tunes in the set. The fine crew of musicians supporting Jeff includes Ron Wood's incredible bass (which at times rivals Jack Bruce), Mick Waller's thundering drums, and Nicky Hopkins' awesome piano and organ work. John Paul Jones of (later) Led Zeppelin fame even contributes some organ work on "Ol' Man River", the latter of which is also a showcase for Rod Stewart's fantastic vocals.
"Truth" is often described as the blueprint for Led Zeppelin's first album. There is no doubt that "Truth" was a huge influence on the Zep (Jimmy Page's guitar work echoes Jeff's leads on "Let Me Love You" very clearly). There are very direct similarities between the two: "Shapes of Things" is Beck's "Good Times Bad Times", "Let Me Love You" and "I Ain't Superstitious" are "I Can't Quit You", "You Shook Me" was done by BOTH groups (I like Beck's version the best - rawer and more dynamic, although too short), and "Morning Dew" and "Ol' Man River" = "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You". Rod Stewart's vocals must have influenced Robert Plant hugely.
Let's see, of the tracks I haven't mentioned yet, let's start with "Greensleeves" ("Aye, that's a lovely toon"). Although this track is often described as a weak point, it's one of my favorites. As noted in the liner notes, it *is* a lovely "toon". Fantastic guitar playing (as usual from old Jeff). Okay, "Rock My Plimsoul": basically a slightly altered cover of B.B. King's old standard "Rock Me Baby". Not really a highlight of the album, as it offers nothing really new, but it's still a good track with great playing. And, "Beck's Bolero" seems to be the "big" track, according to everybody. Seeing as it features Jimmy Page on second guitar and Keith Moon of the Who on drums, it is one hell of a performance and one hell of a track. It's awesome. I also have to mention "Ol' Man River" as being one of my favorites. No, it doesn't feature devastating guitar-work, but it's a great song with *amazing* singing by Mr. Stewart.
"Truth" is a good one, a *really* good one. It's just as good as Zeppelin's first effort, and definitely more varied. Kudos goes to the remastering as well - great sound, not "harsh" and not too much noise reduction. Overall, "Truth" stands the test of time as one of classic rock's great recordings.
4.0 out of 5 stars Truthfully Oh So Bluesy,
G. J Wiener (Westchester, NY USA) - See all my reviews
Fine blusy guitar work by Jeff Beck on his fine debut solo recording. Not to mention some excellent wailing by Rod The Bod Stewart. Rock My Plimsoul and Aint Superstitious are the ultiamte highlights featuring Rod and Jeff. To think this man would record such schlock as Do Ya Think I'm Sexy? Some nice piano touches by Nicky Hopkins particularly on Blues Deluxe.
There are a few moments the band strays away from the blues. Like the acoustic treatment of Greensleeves. Old Man River however just seems a little out of place. Shape Of Things is a little haphazard but still features some fine playing by Beck.
If you are a fan of the blues and want to hear some legendary guitar performances, pick this one up for sure.
4.0 out of 5 stars guitar 101,
By A Customer
Any quitarist worth her salt will tell you that Beck is the only player who can rate with Hendrix in terms of raw talent (maybe Duane Allman slips in there as well). This record is pure, unadorned blues/rock Beck and is essential listening for anyone serious about rock guitar. This is not to slight Blow By Blow or Wired from the mid-70s fusion period, but as a *rock* player, this is Beck at his best. Many have said that this album is the template for heavy rock, released slightly before the first Led Zeppelin album. Nevermind who came first, this is the one to go to, guitar-wise.
Album overall is three and one-half stars. As a testament to quitar genius, it rates five.
5.0 out of 5 stars classic hard rock from the 60's,
Will K. (USA) - See all my reviews
Forget Rod Stewart's solo pop hits. Listen to him here with the great Jeff Beck. Jeff Beck heads this talented group with Rod on vocals of course, Ron Wood on bass, and Mick Waller on drums. Turn up the volume and enjoy. Hard blues rock will turn out in the "Shapes of Things", the great "Morning Dew, and "I Ain't Superstitious. These are just a few of the great gems on this album. The whole album is a classic that any Led Zep fan would appreciate. This is how rock really sounds when played by a group of talented musicians. Enjoy!

App Giveaway: HoursTracker for iPhone and iPad
I will track 5-20 hours a week depending on what moonlighting I am doing. This would be great and help me streamline my hour tracking!
I'd need iPhone version. Hopefully I'll be tracking 40 hrs/week on my next contract. If not, I'll be tracking my job hunt to keep me on track.
i would like the iphone version and will be loggin 37.5 hours per week
I would use the iPhone version. Clocking in approx. 20 hours a week.
iPhone pleez!
iPhone version - 40+ hours/week
Iphone version...I'm an independent contractor and would easily use this for tracking my 50+ hour work weeks...
iPad version please!
iPhone please. I'm a front-end developer and I've been picking up more and more freelance work on the side recently. But kids and dog and other distractions make it hard to keep a good count of how much time I'm spending, plus I'm actually at the point where I can have more than one side project going on at a time. This app would really help.
Would love for my iPad, particularly since I'm battling cancer and work gave me permission to work from home if I track time worked from home. So, this would be an ideal app for me! Aloha!
i just am crazy about the iPad 3 that will come out but more interested in the i[ad 2 with wifi and 36 with 32 gb
i am just cccrrrraaaazzzzyyy about the IPHONE 4 S
I am self employed and work multiple jobs per day. This would be a great addition to the phone
This would be great for my iPad. Consultant with multiple clients, sometimes to 50 hours per week. Tracking by writing down times is a bit tedious.
Ive had this app since it first came out, and let me tell you... I LOVE IT!!
The developer always responds to his emails when you have a problem and he listens to suggestions to make his app better.
Always great updates that enhances the app that much further!!
Try the trial. It's just as good but with the ads. If you like it. Get it!! It has a feature to subtract your taxes and misc wages at the end of the week!
Iphone version
30+ hrs/wk
Id love the iPhone version! I do some consulting on the side and could really use a useful app for this, and this seems to be a great option. I would probably track 20 or so hours a week.
I would love the iPad version as it would help me keep track of all hours I am spending on multiple projects daily
iPhone, and I'll track work, so about 40 (although on some rough weeks, moreso... :()
I would love the iPhone version. I have to keep track of my hours and tasks. I then have to Email my boss the info. This would be such a great help. I have my iPhone with me all the time,
Late to the party but I would love to have this app. I would track how much time I invest writing and working on 3 small, growing websites plus blogging - when I'm not working for someone else outside the house. I imagine I spend 40+ hours weekly and have made pseudo attempts to track my time on a spreadsheet. Fail. The iPhone version would be a great way to get this under control. Yes?!
this would be great for work

Yesterday I plugged Connecting, a short film that explores trends in UI, Interaction & Experience Design.
When Mark Rettig watched the video, he said he would "hesitate to refer friends and family to watch it as an explanation of some of this field, because they'll come away believing that the essence of interaction design has to do with technical devices and networks."
Here is a copy of his very wise reflections (that he shared on the IxDA email list and in part also on the Vimeo comments section):
"I just watched Basset & Partners' nicely-produced short film about interaction design, called "Connecting." You can watch it here on Vimeo: http://vimeo.com/52861634. It's well done, it's full of people I like and admire, and I'm glad it exists. *Thank you* to the people who made it and the people who paid for it.
But it pushes a button, so, this post….
Every time I'm around a bunch of interaction designers (and I still consider myself one, at least some of the time) it jumps out at me: the field is SO so device- and content- fixated. Watch that video with paper and pen, and make tally marks every time someone says, "device, product, service, network, content, data, information, interface,…" You'll fill the page. Do it again, and see if you hear "care, relationship, learn, belong, accomplish, confidence, ability, self-image, manage, relate, heal, wellness, reach, empower,…" any human-value words. I'm not sure you'll get to 10.
Where are the people-words? I'm sorry, but to pick on one example, ubiquitous data and distributed interfaces showing up in the hospital system does not equal more care. (The "service designers" are a little better on this point, but still….)
There are lots of designers in this video, but all the rest of the people are fake-people. Architectural-model-people. Stock photo people. Let's make another movie that has at least the same number of people who have to live with the designs as there are designers. And hey, sometimes, if you catch the right day, there could be both kinds of people in the same shot!
Yes, at the end there is excitement about connected society and social impact (with devices assumed, to my ear). And I know enough of the people in the video to know they really do care about people and are driven by that care. I'm not knocking them.
For me this is a snapshot of the times. Design in general has been so thoroughly enfolded in a culture of business and technology that it has a hard time finding an identify of its own APART from business or technology. It has allowed itself to be defined by its clients. That doesn't have to be the case.
The design process, the methods designers employ, and the people and institutions who make up the practice have great powers and possibilities of their own, independent from clients, silicon, bits, atoms, or contracts. Let's be identified by the possibility we bring into the room, not by a co-dependent relationship with our usual sponsors and materials.
I believe this can change, and I'm doing what I can to help."
Rettig, Principal of Fit Associates, is very known to those who worked and studied at the former Interaction Design Institute Ivrea, for his much quoted advice that interaction design is both about "doing the right thing and doing the thing right."

First Buck
This was my first year bowhunting ever and with my new bow, Mathews ZXT. This hunt I ended up going alone to one of my family member's land in Isanti. Asked a few family members to join, but they all were busy. So I decided, since it was a beautiful day to do some bow hunting mine as well go even if it is by myself. I got to the stand just right before sunrise. The morning was fairly quiet. Nothing but fox squirrels running around. At about 2:30pm, I saw two does at 80+ yards. Got my hopes up a little since I saw nothing in the morning. So 30 minutes have passed and my attention was towards the fox squirrels running around again. Then for some reason I noticed that the fox squirrels had stopped and started to stare at something. As I turned to my right, there he was. His nose was down to the ground and headed towards my way. I noticed that he was moving fairly fast. I got up quietly, grabbed my bow, and found an open area ahead of him to take the shot. As he approached the spot where I wanted him, he paused. I guess luck was on my side. Already ranged it at 40 yards. Drew my bow, took aim,and released my arrow. All you hear is the buck waddling off through some brushes. He ran about 30 yards from where I shot him. He disappeared from my view, but I did hear a loud crash. At that point, I called one of my family members to meet me here and track the deer. My cousin finally arrived 45 minutes later. So I pointed out where I shot him and which direction he headed. At first there was little drops of blood. This worried me a bit, but as we walked another 10 yards there was this massive puddle of blood. So my cousin and I both stopped to see if we can see the buck. My cousin didn't notice it, but as I looked toward my right, there he was, laying next to a small tree dead. Got a big congrats from my cousin and we both dragged it back to the vehicles, which actually took another two hours, but it was worth the work! Thanks MATHEWS!!!

The Kiambu government is grading the rural access roads in the county. Speaking in Kikuyu on Saturday while commissioning the programme, Governor William Kabogo said the road to be graded in this financial year will be complete by June.
"My government under the Ministry of Roads has graded 382km of roads, which is a progress, as many people are now able to easily reach their various destinations," Kabogo said.
He said boost of the road network will help farmers transport their produce to the market on time. "We have been able to open up many places in the county, and I know farmers are happy as they can now transport their produce easily," Kabogo said.
County Executive Committee member of roads Njeri Mburu said the county assembly set aside Sh600 million for upgrading and maintenance of county roads and Sh500 million to build 660km rural access roads for all the wards.
"The department has already completed construction of 60km of rural access roads. We intend to build a total of 360km of rural unclassified roads during this financial year with a budget ," she said.
Mburu said the county government recently held a meeting with the Kenya Roads Board, during which they promised to support the county by installing a County Roads Management System.


text: I just developed my first negs with D76 with .4 gr/liter potassium bromide as additive. The idea is that the p b gives lower base fog and a corresponding increase in shadow contrast. I haven't printed yet, but there's no question the B/F is lower than negs developed yesterday without the additive, so I expect it will make at least a subtle difference.
