McLendon to celebrate recording release
DURHAM -- Durham native and Nashville recording artist Erin McLendon will celebrate the release of her debut album "Fire & Wine" with a release party at Motorco Music Hall at 8:45 p.m. Saturday. She will be accompanied by current students, fellow alumni, and some of her favorite teachers from her alma mater, Durham Academy. Tickets for this all-ages show are $10.
McLendon has found her inspiration in artists ranging from Jimmy Buffet to Aretha Franklin. Exposed to such diverse artists as the Beatles, Tina Turner, Journey and Reba McEntire in her youth, her musical style reflects sounds spanning across multiple genres. Country music has always been her first love and heavily influences her writing and performances.
She credits her Easley Elementary School music teacher, Judy McCarson Hilliard, for convincing her to step out in front of the choir and sing solo. She has been writing songs since 10th grade, when she wrote a song about the Vietnam War for a history project.
McLendon's debut album can be found on iTunes and all other streaming sites.

INVENTORY AND EQUIPMENT - Lusternia Online Help
Your inventory is what you are carrying or wearing or wielding - equipment of various sorts. INVENTORY - INV - II - IH ------------------------- The word INVENTORY in Lusternia is most commonly used to refer to the items and equipment that a player or mobile is carrying, wielding, or wearing. There are two ways to see what is in your inventory. INVENTORY (or INV, EQ, QI) list your inventory. INV <item> to show only items of a particular sort. INFO INV (or II) a more detailed list, with numeric ids. INFO INV EMPTY lists containers that are empty. INFO HERE (or IH) shows the detailed items in the room. There are quite a few ways that other players can make you drop, or can steal items from your inventory. Putting a fist-shaped sigil on that item will ensure that your grip on it will be too tight to lose it with many methods. (see HELP SIGILS) Each item in Lusternia has a separate and distinct number (as shown in II). Oftentimes you will have multiple items of a similar type, and you will want to be specific in referring to one. So, for instance, if you had 5 oaken vials filled with different kinds of liquids and you wanted to make sure you give the right one to your comrade, you might type GIVE VIAL1347 TO ROARK instead of just GIVE VIAL TO ROARK. To gain more information on an item, including what is inside the item, if anything, you may PROBE <item> (or P <item>) EXAMINE <item> (or EX <item>) There are various ways of manipulating equipment, and they include: GET/G <item> GET/G <item> from <another item> GIVE <item> to <whomever> WIELD <item> UNWIELD <item> WEAR <item> REMOVE <item> Dealing with gold is a slightly different matter, as you will want to specify how much gold to get or give. To do this, you would, for instance, type GIVE 100 GOLD TO ROARK. Of course, if you don't have 100 gold, poor Roark will be broke and you'll be standing there looking silly. (See also HELP SIGILS, HELP GOLD)

Louver Facade Bridge House Harmonizes With a Lush Connecticut Valley
Posted By Lori Zimmer On March 28, 2012 @ 2:20 pm In Architecture,Green Building,Innovation,Sustainable Materials | No Comments
The modern, minimalist design [6]is not only stunning, but also the architects' reaction to the sloping hills of the home's site. Two sections of the home are set perpendicular to each other [7], each resting in the hillside. Stretching across a dip in the hill is a bridge-like structure, which connects both ends of the home. Floating above the land below, the bridge portion is clad with glass curtain windows, giving the feeling of immersion within the beautiful landscape.
Wooden louvers filter light [8] through the glass curtain wall, and inside the sprawling windows give residents a direct view of the mountains. The lower chambers of the home bring the natural bedrock and greenery of the property within proximity of the doors and windows.
The spacious home was also built with sustainability in mind [9], starting from the positioning of the structure to minimize site disturbance and optimize natural light without excessive solar gain. Planted swales help filter storm water [10], as well as permeable paving and natural stone. An extensive irrigation and drainage system was also installed with these concerns in mind, particularly as the home is built in a valley. Radiant heat, high efficiency cooling, filtration and water systems keep the environmental impact low.
The Bridge House harmonizes with the natural beauty [11] of the rural Connecticut landscape, while taking serious green measures to help protect it.

Like any good FAQ,
I'll start with queries first
proposed to us in 1975′s Mahogany.
as presented to us by the legendary Miss Diana Ross
Do you know where you're going to?
I don't. A few years ago I had a really good idea as to where I was going, but nowadays – nope. Clueless.
Do you like the things that life's been showing you?
Well, that really depends. But in general, I would have to say, yes.
Where are you going to?
Wow. Again, not too sure. But I see now that you're really gonna be a hard-ass about this, so I'd say I'm probably going to… punch you in the face if you don't stop badgering me.
Do you know?
Okay, Diana. You're really pushing the limits here. But yeah, I think I do know. I know you're about one question away from a fat lip.
Geez, let's move on to your questions:
I love commenting on Pooler Peach, but how do I get my photo to show up next to my comments?
Simple. They're called gravatars and once you get one it works on sites all over. Best of all, it's free. Get yours from gravatar.com
I see that I can subscribe to your feed, what's that all about?
It's really the best way to make sure you don't miss a single post on Pooler Peach or any site. Actually, CommonCraft has a super YouTube video that does a great job of explaining it. Which is actually best since I burned my finger on the grill last night and it kinda hurts to type. Guess what? It's free, too! So just go ahead and do it already, you cheapskate.
Do you know Paula Deen?
No. But I did meet a girl who knew a girl that was friends with a girl who knew one of her sons. My husband knows the guy that landscaped her house though.
Does Pooler have a bookstore?
Sadly, no.
When are you going to update your About page with your photo? I'm dying to see you. At night, I fantasize about what you might look like.
Okay, that's a tiny bit creepy, but it's in the works. You see, I'm a stay-at-home mom to 2 furkids and my personal style usually consists of sweatpants, t-shirt, no makeup, and hair pulled into a just-rolled-out-of-bed ponytail. So getting my self portrait together is proving more difficult as I have very few of those "Wow! I look really cute today!" kind of snapshot moments.
UPDATE: Pictures have been uploaded, prepare thyself.
This page will continue to grow as I receive more questions. If you have any for me, send 'em my way.

Underlying the healthcare debate over the past few years has been the state of the hospitals and the uninsured. Public hospital companies have faced significant pressure from investors as the levels of bad debt have increased, the number of uninsured has grown and the profitable medical procedures have moved from the hospital setting to ambulatory and specialty surgery centers like NovaMed (Nasdaq:NOVA) and Amsurg (NYSE:AMSG).
IN PICTURES: 9 Simple Investing Ratios You Need To Know
The History
The largest hospital company, HCA, went private several years ago, in part to get away from the equity capital swings and constraints. Other hospitals, such as Community Health (NYSE:CYH) and Tenet Health (NYSE:THC), have watched their stock prices hit bottom and begin the slow climb up, while specialty and ambulatory surgery centers, like Amsurg, have been pretty consistent during the downturn. Companies like AMSG, however, are not immune to reimbursement risk, especially when Medicare announces changes as seen with AMSG's price drop from $17 to $13.60 in mid-February of 2009. Conversely, THC saw its stock fall from $6.26 to $1.21 from September 2008 to November 2008 and it remained at these low levels for over five months. Despite these risks, the surgery centers tend to recover faster and are more consistent performers. (For more, see Investing In The Care Side Of Healthcare.)
The Future
Despite the stock pressures felt by the hospitals over the past three years, these companies have several positives. The healthcare reform act goes a long way to reduce the greatest pressure facing hospital companies - the uninsured. Providing insurance to the 32 million uninsured in the U.S. should alleviate the bad debt expense that has plagued hospitals. Additionally, the law placed a ban on the creation of new physician-owned hospitals and the expansion of existing ones. As such, the specialty and ambulatory surgery centers that have been competing for and winning the most profitable procedures have just become less competitive, bringing a lucrative revenue stream back to the hospitals.
These positives may be offset by the level of reimbursement that hospitals may experience for these newly insured patients, but industry experts tend to think that since the hospitals were taking a write-off on these patients anyway, any reimbursement is a positive. While the stocks have seen significant appreciation since the bill was passed and signed, with THC appreciating over 38% and CYH over 34%, from the passage in the House to the signing of the bill on March 23, 2010, the implementation of the bill still has not occurred, so the impact is still unknown and creates investment opportunity. (For more, see Investing In The Healthcare Sector.)
Bottom Line
As we come to the beginning of the employer-sponsored renewal coverage time period, the level of newly insured should begin to slowly increase and the impact of the bill's changes should begin to be seen in the hospital setting. While these changes are projected to take effect extremely slowly, the hospitals should experience the positive impact almost immediately, giving investors a glimpse into the potential positive profit when the bill takes effect in its entirety. (For more, see Healthcare Sector: Play Or Stay Away?)

Phytohormones as Important Biologically Active Molecules – Their Simple Simultaneous Detection
Received: 7 March 2009 / Revised: 8 May 2009 / Accepted: 14 May 2009 / Published: 15 May 2009

AbstractPhytohormones, their functions, synthesis and effects, are of great interest. To study them in plant tissues accurate and sensitive methods are required. In the present study we aimed at optimizing experimental conditions to separate and determine not only plant hormones but also their metabolites, by liquid chromatography coupled with a UV-VIS detector. The mixture we analyzed was composed of benzyladenine, kinetin, trans-zeatin, cis-zeatin, dihydrozeatin, meta-topolin, ortho-topolin, α-naphthalene acetic acid, indole-3-acetic acid, trans-zeatin-7-glucoside, trans-zeatin-O-glucoside, trans-zeatin-9-riboside, meta-topolin-9-riboside and ortho-topolin-9-riboside. We measured the calibration dependences and estimated limits of detection and quantification under the optimal chromatographic conditions (column: Polaris C18; mobile phase: gradient starting at 2:98 (methanol:0.001% TFA) and was increasing to 55:45 during twenty minutes, and then decreasing for 10 min to 35:65, flow rate: 200 µL·min-1, temperature: 50 °C, wavelength: 210 nm). The detection limits for the target molecules were estimated as tens of ng per mL. We also studied the effect of flax extracts on the phytohormones' signals. Recovery of aliphatic and aromatic cytokinins, metabolites of cytokinins and auxinswere within the range from 87 to 105 %. The experimental conditions were tested on a mass selective detector. In addition we analysed a commercial product used for stimulation of roots formation in cuttings of poorly rooting plants. The determined content of α-naphthalene acetic acid was in good agreement with that declared by the manufacturer.

The Study and the "Gold Cabinet"
The Study epitomises the splendour of the staterooms. The elegant decoration and use of costly materials date from the 1822-25 refurbishment carried out under Archduke Carl.
Testifying to the extraordinary richness of the earlier décor of Duke Albert of Saxe-Teschens time is the "Gold Cabinet" next door to the Study. The special alloy used in the gold-leaf decoration of this small room consists of 23-carat gold, 1/2-carat silver and 1/2-carat copper, and is still known today as "Albertina Gold".

A Ruby Class's default 'initialize' method takes zero or any number or arguments depending on the version of Ruby you use.
Given the Foo class:
class Foo end
And then attempting to instantiate an instance of Foo with arguments like so:
Foo.new('any argument')
You get an invalid number of arguments error in 1.8.7 and 1.9.3.
However, 1.9.2 and 1.9.1 will just accept any number of arguments.
Ruby spec documents this behavior:
It appears that this difference between versions was introduced as a feature in 1.9.2 and back ported to 1.9.1 and then reverted in 1.9.3. Perhaps the reversion should be back ported now?
Does anyone know of an API that provides a sales tax lookup service?

Why Permanent Supportive Housing Makes Financial Sense
Over the past few months, we've been talking about permanent supportive housing as the solution to ending chronic homelessness.
Over the next few months, we'd like to begin exploring WHY we believe permanent supportive housing is the solution.
- permanent supportive housing is cost effective,
- permanent supportive housing improves heath outcomes for chronically homeless individuals,
- permanent supportive housing provides individuals with the tools they need to get their lives back, and
- permanent supportive housing is effective at keeping people housed (DC has the highest retention rate in the country).
Today, we'll be focusing on the cost-effectiveness of permanent supportive housing.
Research has shown that providing permanent housing with individualized support services to chronically homeless individuals is no more costly, and in some cases, less costly than traditional interventions like emergency shelter.
Many of the cost savings are realized in the public services that are no longer, or less, needed. These services include emergency room visits, in-patient mental health care, and jail, among others.
In Los Angeles County, public costs were reduced by 79 percent for chronically homeless individuals in permanent supportive housing. And in New York City, each unit of permanent supportive housing saved $16,282 per year in public costs for shelter, health care, mental health and criminal justice.
While formal, long-range studies have not yet been completed in DC, the anecdotal evidence supporting the cost-effectiveness of permanent supportive housing is encouraging.
One of our guests used to be in crisis every time he came to Miriam's Kitchen for breakfast--usually either coming directly from the emergency room or needing our help to get to a psychiatric hospital because he was suicidal. Now that's he's housed through permanent supportive housing, he's usually stopping by to tell us he's doing well. That's just one example of the cost savings we've seen among our guests at Miriam's Kitchen.
--Adam Rocap, Director of Social Services
To read more about the cost-effectiveness of permanent supportive housing, we recommend reading the Corporation for Supportive Housing's FAQ's about Supportive Housing Research: Is Supportive Housing Cost Effective? (a report we pulled our data from for this update) or using the interactive cost-savings chart from the National Alliance to End Homelessness.

Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain has been unveiled in an eye-popping trailer at GDC in San Francisco
After some positively weird build-up, including a couple of trailers made by obstensibly 'fake' developers, the latest installment in the Metal Gear Solid franchise has finally been confirmed.
The series' creator and guiding hand, Hideo Kojima, took the stage at GDC in San Francisco to announce that two previously hinted video games, The Phantom Pain and Ground Zeroes, were in fact, both part of the upcoming Metal Gear Solid 5.
In an interview with the Guardian Games Blog, Kojima did his best to explain the enigmatic footage to the audience at GDC.
"Ground Zeroes is a prologue of MGS V," he said. "Nine years after that event will be The Phantom Pain. MGS V is constructed with prologue and main game, TPP. The game play demo I presented today is the opening of TPP which is tutorial".
So from the sounds of things Metal Gear Solid fans are in for two brand new MGS titles. At the time of this writing, Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain has been confirmed for at least current generation gaming console.
The bad news, however, is that it doesn't sound as though David Hayter, who has provided the voice for the series' main protagonist, Solid Snake, for over a decade, will be involved with either project.
In a Twitter post, the voice actor said he had not been asked to voice the character and that he hadn't really been told why this was the case.
"I heard then, that recording sessions for MG:V were being put together," Hayter tweeted, "But I didn't hear anything about whether I'd be needed or not."
"So, I got in touch with someone involved in the production. We got together for lunch, and he told me that they 'wouldn't be needing me' on this game. No reason, or explanation was given beyond that."

Preview Abstract MathJax On | Off Abstract
Daniel Aalberts
Evan Miller
(Williams College)
The pseudoknot fold is often seen in auto-catalytic RNA and in viruses. A recent polymer physics model and statistical-mechanical theory predicts relative probabilities of different pseudoknot folds consonant with a database of known folds. Now we extend that theory for a preliminary estimate of the abundance of pseudoknot folds in RNA sequences, finding approximately 1 per 40,000 nucleotides. This theoretical probability density compares favorably to what we infer from structure databases and has implications for genome organization, RNA folding algorithms, and the RNA World.

In Product Photography for E-Commerce, designer Dane Howard shows how to take professional-looking photographs that showcase products and build buyers' trust. Using a practical approach, Dane covers objects from collectible coins to real estate, and the lessons can be applied to just about anything that can be sold online. When it comes time to capture images in the studio, Dane discusses how to select a camera and other equipment on any budget. He shares his favorite tips and tricks for getting the most out of camera angles, backgrounds, and scene lighting. He reviews image editing basics, such as cropping and retouching photographs, and explains how to take a presentation beyond a 360-degree view with the integration of rich media.
So, I have got a product to shoot and I don't have that much time. I don't want to set up all this other stuff. It just seems so laborious. My gear, what's in here? You know, what I love about this solution is that, this becomes the photo tent itself. It's got a nice frosted side. In fact, I could set up in no time, I bet you I can set up in under maybe five minutes. On your mark, get set, go! (Music playing) Yeah, that's what I am talking about. I am telling you, this set up is great.
Having the container as the backdrop really adds to this, because I can quickly set up. Now what did I just set up? I have three light stands, three hoods. I've got a little bit of muslin that I can drape over the sides if my lights are little too hot. I keep a couple of backdrops and of course, some tape. This is your little rigging machine right here and pretty much you can get up and running. Well, if this doesn't look like much, don't let that worry, the shots speak for themselves.

Many pregnant women (about 70% to 85%) experience a period of nausea and vomiting. In the vast majority of cases, it's unpleasant but not dangerous.
About 1% of expectant mothers will vomit so severely that they lose weight and become dehydrated, requiring hospital treatment. This severe form of morning sickness is called hyperemesis gravidarum. Although this condition could be life-threatening if left untreated, it can be remedied by treatment during a brief hospital stay.
When a woman has morning sickness, it can be severe enough that it affects usual daily activities (e.g., working, caring for children). Although it's called "morning sickness," the nausea and vomiting may occur at any time of day.
While the exact causes of morning sickness aren't known, it's probably linked to pregnancy hormones. Women who suffer morning sickness tend to have higher levels of these hormones than those who don't.
It's possible that nausea and vomiting during pregnancy is an ancient mechanism for protecting the fetus from poisons. With the enormously rich and varied diet we eat today compared to our ancestors, it's no surprise that such a protective system could become a bit confused and start rejecting all sorts of healthy food.
One piece of evidence for this idea can be found in research showing that women who suffer from vomiting during pregnancy actually have lower rates of miscarriage than women who don't. Research shows higher levels of two hormones (thyroxine and human chorionic gonadotropin) in women with morning sickness. Women who suffer nausea from the birth control pill are more likely to develop morning sickness during pregnancy.

Thanks to modern technology, SeaWorld Orlando employees and animals were able to fulfill a final wish from a 48-year-old woman with an inoperable brain tumor to meet a dolphin.
Above, trainer Nick Wickett introduces Bubba the dolphin to patient Billie Bobbitt using a webcam. Because she is unable to travel, animal trainers brought the dolphin to her home in Virginia Beach, VA via a live meet-and-greet using Skype. Additionally a trainer from sister park Busch Gardens in Williamsburg made a personal visit to her home with animal ambassador Ellie the sloth.
SeaWorld has a long-standing commitment to creating memories for children and adults with terminal illnesses. Most of these wishes include visits to the parks and meeting animals; this is the one of the first times the company has been able to provide a "virtual visit" to grant such a wish.

The Lying Game
The Lying Game Spoilers for Season 2, Episode 9: Sutton and Emma in Cahoots?
This sneak peek of Lying Game for Season 2, Episode 9: "The Grave Truth," Sutton drops the bombshell on twin sister Emma (Alexandra Chando) that it was Alec (Adrian Pasdar) who separated the twins at birth and not their father, who may or may not be Ted (Andy Buckley).
Emma and Laurel (Allie Gonino) react with total shock to the news, but Sutton rolls her eyes and simply says, "No offense guys, but at some point you're going to have to stop being surprised by things that man did in the mid-'90s."
She does have a point, especially when it comes to Alec, who's known for his many shady dealings. But Sutton also insists they have to prove it was Rebecca (Charisma Carpenter) who kidnapped Theresa at Derek's grave.
When Emma agrees that her twin is right, Laurel insists that the two should work together and hug it out. Reluctant at first, the two hastily make up with a quick hug before presumably getting down to business.
Do you think Emma and Sutton will be able to combine their efforts, or will their differences drive them apart?

This blog is meant for leaders, consultants, project leads, change agents, managers, positive deviants, and anyone else that might instigate, inspire, inform or influence change in an organization.

Geographer On World Cafe
By editor
Geographer's glittery, electronic pop-rock sound has been winning over fans on the West Coast for years. The trio formed in 2008 and released its first full-length album, Innocent Ghosts, a few months later. Now, four years after its debut, Geographer has finally returned with a new set of earnest, sonically sugar-coated songs.
Myths bursts with the same unpredictable, intellectual creativity that made the group's 2010 single "Kites" an Internet sensation. The album carries on in Geographer's tradition of arranging cascading electronic effects around simple, no-nonsense rock compositions. Hear "Verona," "Blinders," "The Myth of Youth" and "The Boulder" on today's episode of World Cafe.

We will be bringing enough baskets to make 24. Should be about the same layout as last year. There might be a couple hole change. There are 2 baskets missing last that I have seen.
Wade TF February 20, 2011 at 2:15pm
Yeah nobody really in BC cares about disc golf enough not to thieve or vandalize their own baskets/courses. Supposedly there are some changes going to be made to the course soon.
Dave Hartung February 20, 2011 at 12:07pm
Tried playing this course yesterday for the first time since 08 worlds. My question is where did all of the baskets go? Will there be baskets in for the lumberjack?
Randy Gallagher June 19, 2010 at 9:06am
That would be nice. Good Luck

What is it gonna take to get the missing baskets replaced?

The kids, the dogs, the cats, the husband… all of these are the perfect reasons for adding a mud room to your home before winter arrives. When the snow comes and the kids come in from playing outside, the husband comes in from shoveling snow, or the dogs make their way through the doggy door from the pouring rain, the mud room is your first line of defense for keeping the rest of the home clean!
It is the place for hanging keys, letting wet outwear dry, taking off muddy boots, storing bookbags, sports gear, and dripping umbrellas. The mud room handles all the dirty work so your family won't track dirt through the entire home.
The mud room is a great place for doggy beds. Your furry family members can dry off and take a cat (or dog) nap in their own comfy spot.
Keep the clutter hidden with plenty of cabinetry and add some special touches of design with light fixtures and shutter style cabinet doors.
Have an active bunch? Keep the kids organized with plenty of cubby space in the mud room.
If you are looking to renovate or remodel your home and live in the Kansas City area, please give Design Build Team a call at 888.570.1828.

AUBURN, Mass. – Brendan Whitson, a soccer star from a few years back at Auburn High School, is still tearing it up at the next level.
Whitson, who graduated from Auburn High in 2010, was recently named a first-team selection to the Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletic Conference (MASCAC) Men's Soccer All-Conference Team after a phenomenal junior season at Worcester State University.
Whitson, who transferred this past season after two standout years at Nichols College, led Worcester State with nine goals and 23 points. Whitson, a striker, finished the regular season second in the MASCAC in points, third in goals and tied for fifth in assists.
In 54 career games, Whitson has 26 goals, eight assists and 60 points.
"My teammates have given me great passes and set me up for great scoring opportunities," Whitson said. "I wasn't really sure if I'd be named to the all-conference team. I was hoping for the best, and I'm very fortunate to get this recognition."
Under the direction of third-year head coach Jason Willis, Worcester State ended the season at 4-11-2 overall and 2-3-2 in the MASCAC. The Lancers earned their second-straight postseason berth and were defeated, 2-1, by Bridgewater State in the quarterfinal round of the conference tournament.
Despite the sub-par record, Whitson said the team has a bright future.
"Even though we didn't have a great record, we have the potential to play a lot better next season," Whitson said. "We were a much better team than our record reflects. We should have a chance to go far into the playoffs next year."
The MASCAC is the nation's oldest Division III men's and women's playing conference. MASCAC member schools are Bridgewater State University, Fitchburg State University, Framingham State University, MCLA, Massachusetts Maritime Academy, Salem State University, Westfield State University and Worcester State University.
Two other institutions, the University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth and Plymouth State University, are affiliate members of the conference in men's ice hockey.

Vintage cymbal stackers?
Re: Vintage cymbal stackers?
I always thought those were cool.
It seems like it was something that Ludwig (maybe Slingerland too) made up for their players back then.
It looks like a regular bass drum ride mount holder, but with a threaded tube (instead of the wing nut going in the pressed on threaded nub).
Then the top would go on the tilter after the bottom cymbal was place on the stand.
Louie Bellson had one of these, Neil Peart had one (Slingerland), Carl Palmer had one or two of these things too.
Their cymbal center holes may have been enlarged for this application too.
You could probably make this.
You'd want an 8mm (or 6mm--the usual threads on tilters) threaded nut that was about an inch long (you can find them in the hardware shop).
Then you'd epoxy the threaded nut into a small tube with a tilter on it. You could use a Ludwig cymbal arm, or a 1/2" DW top tube from the flat base stand (they sell the piece separate).I'm sure there's other brand with that size tube...Gibraltar has one too.
Ludwig's cymbal holder part number is:
P-1775-A2 (that's the center tube with ratchet and wing screw).
You'd epoxy the threaded nut into that tube and then place it on top of the other tilter.
Actually, you could probably use any tilter you want on top of a center tube that would work.
That's my 2 cents anyway.

Re: Vintage cymbal stackers?
Back in the olden days the wimpy cymbal stands had a pretty small diameter upper shaft, about the diameter of a modern boom arm or smaller. Straight stands with a tilter at the top. I used to put a flat metal cymbal washer and a felt on 'em and they held a cymbal just like in that picture of Ginger Baker.
In other words, those were just normal straight stands in that picture.
I could be wrong, been known to happen!

Re: Vintage cymbal stackers?
Yeah, the 1/2 inch top tube.
It's the same size now on the DW and Gibraltar flat base stands, and I think the Ludwig FB stand & cymbal mount is 1/2" tube as well.
Toad, not that those old stands were really 'sturdy', but how were they after you placed another section and a cymbal on it?
GB has that kit on the Classic Rock Drum Solos DVD and he didn't play very light on them.
He wasn't slamming, just playing his normal way.

Re: Vintage cymbal stackers?
Okay Karl, if I remember right...
...there was no extra top section. I just lowered the second section so I could have the top section fully extended just like you see in the Baker pic.
The bottom cymbal sat on the top of the second section with a washer and felt.
(Keep in mind it was a long time ago and I don't fully remember my equipment and I may have had an extra section on those stands, I just don't recall. I know I've made a few Frankenstands.)
I seem to remember that it was stable and sturdy enough and not too top heavy due to the heavy ride on the bottom. I never had any fall over while playing.
My stands didn't even have tripod type legs like we have today. They were flat base.
Yeah I had two stands at the floor toms just like in the Baker pic.
The thing I remember not liking was when the stands didn't look straight due to the rickety-ness of 'em.
So maybe today, a guy could get the longest boom arm he could find, and put it as near to vertical as he could get it and put a washer and felt on it and VIOLA.

Re: Vintage cymbal stackers?
Hi all,
Thanks for your replies. I already own a Ludwig cymbal arm (the type that mounts onto the bass drum) and I did experiment briefly with mounting the tilter section onto my flat based Gib stand but I wouldn't have been happy to throw on my cymbals and gig with it... :s
Unfortunately, I'm not that technically minded, otherwise I'd love to attempt Karl's suggestion - the other problem is that here in the UK, both DW and Ludwig are not very forthcoming when it comes to providing small parts such as the top sections of cymbal stands, etc and shipping from the States is quite steep. Indeed, Ludwig's UK rep even personally informed me that the company no longer made the aforementioned bass drum cymbal arm despite it being listed in their catalogue! So, I had to trawl eBay and eventually found a NOS one from a few years back.
I guess it's just something I will have to learn to live without! :D
Thanks again for your responses.
Best wishes,

New Mustang Training Advice Please!
Okay,so I am applying for Teens and Oregon Mustangs, and I was wondering of anyone had any ground training advice that could help me with the whole process from gentling to competing? Thanks everyone in advance:) also does anyone know where I could buy some 12 foot horse panels for under 80 bucks a piece?
Maybe Craigslist or area auctions for the panels.
My three kids each trained two BLM horses each one summer. The horses were all about 7 years old. I believe they were so successful with theirs because they a) treated them like horses and had the same expectations as they would have for any horse, and b) spent a lot of time with their BLM horses.
One put both of hers in a bosal to start. The other two went to D-ring snaffles and bitted them up, and ground drove theirs before getting on. The oldest kid did so much ground driving, I thought she was trying to make cart horses out of hers. They all turned out nicely. (Both the horses and the kids :))
See? Even kids raised in the same family don't agree on what's right or best!
Craigslist is your best bet for used panels. As I recall, your pen only needs to be 20x20 (I think), I would not make it any larger than required. Be aware some of those suckers can JUMP.....my yearling cleared the 5 1/2 ft panels several times to join the other horses before I gave up and turned her out with them. She was essentially halter broken by the end of the first week, so it worked out okay. Good luck!
thanks everyone! my horse will be a yearling. I have been looking on craigslist like crazy and haven't been finding anything:/ . I' 'll keep looking and if anyone could keep an eye out fir sales in Oregon or on Portland, Corvallis, Eugene, or Salem craigslist for round pens and panel's that would be great! thanks for the posts and advice:) oh ya, I won't be building one because I am possibly moving with in the next two years and I would like to take my pen with me. I am only 14 so it would be super hard to save up all the money again.

Read Poems by
Wayland Bunch
Where am I
Now lost in the dark
Stripped down to my core
Love now recognized in my loneliness
For there is some truth even in a lie
The difference not being a question of reason
But a finite line
Truth and lie separated only by time and will
How did I fail to notice
Fleeing in the night
The further I ran
No matter which direction
The closer I got
Reflections from depression
Hope renewed
A vicious cycle to be repeated
Neither love song
Nor sad song
Can change the truth
My heart desired to reach this point
My mind avoiding it
What remains
Therein lies the contradiction
Stripped down to my core
Now lost in the dark
Where am I

I can't get enough of stir-fried. Simple and easy. Since we have already washed the wok and kept it within easy reach, why not use it more often? Hehe...:)
We went to the market that day, bought $1 of Chinese lettuce, which normally costs 1000% more during Chinese New Year. So we happily stir-fried the 7-8 bunches of them, filling the entire wok before sweating it down.
Stir-frying. You can see that CY is having some difficulties to turn them, but just for a while.... Keep on stirring and they will quickly be reduced to just a plate of vegetables. That's also the reason why we need a wok because it's easier to stir and can stir-fry more leafy vegetables.
Ingredients: Sliced garlic ( 4 cloves), canola oil (or any other frying oil), 1 kg of Chinese lettuce, 1 tbsp of soy sauce, pepper and 0.5 tsp corn starch mixed with some water.
- In a basin filled with water, wash the lettuce thoroughly, leaf by leaf. This vegetable is notorious for grit.
- Heat some oil with high heat, fry garlic till slightly brown.
- Pour in all lettuce, stir fry.
- When all lettuce wither down, turn down the heat, add corn starch mixture, soy sauce and pepper to taste.

Objects that talk are useful, but objects that tattle aren't.
An epic braindump by Dan, covering connected devices, product design, co-creation, DIY, and knopening stuff up. That's right: knopening.
Knopen, a fairly obvious portmanteau of know and open, can be a verb (to knopen something) or an adjective (e.g. a knopen tool).
This is what Scott Jenson has been working on—a first stab at just-in-time interactions by having physical devices broadcasting URLs.
Walk up and use anything
I like Matt's observation here that the simple combination of a barebones data format like HTML delivered over HTTP is a good-enough low-level API for joining up all kinds of internet-connected things.
In the last 60 years, the biggest software platform for interop and integration – for new products, services, businesses, and value creation – has not been Android, or iOS, or Windows, or the PDP-11. The biggest and best platform has been the web.
One implication is that successful products are not necessarily those with seamless, beautiful, tightly-controlled "experiences", but rather the ones that are capable of talking to each other.
Small things, loosely joined.
Some interesting thoughts that follow on nicely from Scott Jenson's ideas around just-in-time interactions:
What if the technology was actually already in the room when we got there? Maybe that's the kind of Internet-of-things that will be more sustainable and will win long-term.
Expanding on an exercise from last year's Hackfarm, Brian and Mike have written a deliciously dystopian near-future short story.
Scott gives us an excellent State Of The Web address, looking at how the web can be central to the coming age of ubiquitous computing. He rightly skips through the imitation of native apps and gets down to the potential of just-in-time interactions.
A state of the connected union address, with soundbites from smart people in the world of ubicomp, internet of things, everyware, or whatever it is we're calling it now.
This looks rather exciting: Tessel is Rasperry Pi-like piece of hardware, but running JavaScript (Node.js) by default.
A profile of Tom's house.
It's weird how normal this is.
Sorta sci-fi from Adam.
Consider this a shooting script for one of those concept videos so beloved of the big technology vendors.
Beautiful thoughtful work from the BERGians.
This echoes Scott Jenson's call for more open standards when it comes to networked devices. We'll need it if we want "If This, Then That" for an internet of things.
Man, I just love Scott Jenson.
Our brains have collectively gone startup-crazy, seeing the world through stock option colored glasses, assuming that if there is no money, there is clearly no value. This is madness. I'm so desperately worried that the internet will turn out to be a happy accident.
Turning his focus on "the internet of things" he makes the very good point that what we need isn't one company or one proprietary service; we need an ecosystem of open standards that will enable companies to build services.
We all have to appreciate how we need a deep, open solution to solve this problem. If we don't understand, demand even, that hardware devices need to be just as discoverable an open as web servers are today, we'll never see the internet of things come to pass.
Interaction dissolving into the environment.
My last shipment from the Quaterly contained everything I need to get a sourdough starter going (thanks to Alexis Madrigal). I think I might have to get me one of these cute sourdough globes: "It's like a Tamagotchi, but actually alive."
Be sure to check out the the blog documenting the design and development.
This is quite an astounding piece of writing. Robert Lucky imagines the internet of things mashed up with online social networking …but this was published in 1999!
Excellent! Scott has his own URL now. If you haven't read everything he has written so far, start from the start and read every single post.
A classic piece of design fiction written by Mark Weiser 21 years ago.
The most profound technologies are those that disappear. They weave themselves into the fabric of everyday life until they are indistinguishable from it.
Taking apps out of phones and embedding them in the world around us …there's a lot of crossover with what Scott Jenson has been writing about here. Good stuff.
This evolution of Tom Taylor's microprinter looks like it's going to be absolutely wonderful (and packed full of personality). Watch this space.
This looks truly wonderful: like a hardware version of "if this, then that."
London becomes Everyware.

Charleston County School Board members who are looking for ways to bolster attendance at failing schools are looking in the wrong direction.
Pressuring parents to keep their children in a failing school isn't the answer. Providing an excellent education at that school is.
The board's Policy and Personnel Committee wants to require parents to meet with their neighborhood school principal before requesting a transfer to another school.
Members want the principals to have a chance to give those parents an accurate picture of the school they are trying to avoid. Maybe they'll decide not to transfer.
More likely, they'll be just more disgruntled at having the school board put another obstacle in their way.
The conversation is being driven by schools that are operating far below capacity. But the best way to keep students at a school, or lure new students to the school, is to produce the kind of results that parents want for their children.
That's not to say that it's a waste of time for parents to talk with their neighborhood school principal. But if the board wants to issue a new fiat, they should insist that the principals make the effort to contact parents who want their children to attend another school.
Doing so would show interest and initiative that might impress the parents and even sway their decision. And, who knows, the principals might learn something from talking to parents.
Chances are that those parents who go to the trouble to request a transfer for their children are parents who are committed to their children's education, and who have spent time looking into the pros and cons of individual schools. Requiring them to visit a school they have already decided isn't the right place for their children is a waste of their time, and the principal's.
Further, the system already demands parents to get permission from the constituent board or boards involved.
The school board is scheduled to consider the committee's recommendation at its July 28 meeting.
A better conversation would be about how to improve academics at schools that aren't up the mark.
Making the grade will do more to fill empty desks than another mandate.
