Mikhail Khodorkovsky, until last week Russia's most famous political prisoner, gave an interview to a group of Russian-speaking journalists in Berlin over the weekend that showed both why he was such a threat to Vladimir Putin and why he is no longer such a threat. The New York Times has a translation of the interview, and it's notable for both his clear-eyed understanding of the politics of freedom as well as his personal modesty inflected with a sense of defeat.
The most obvious reason Khodorkovsky was a threat, of course, was money. He was an oligarch in the most important industry–oil–and therefore was in position to test Putin's autocratic tendencies. Khodorkovsky was emblematic of virtually every aspect of the new Russia: the concentration of wealth thanks to what economist Marshall Goldman has called the "piratization of Russia" after the fall of Communism, the bare-knuckle business world of the Yeltsin years, and the strongman politics of Putin's reassertion of state power and control.
When Khodorkovsky challenged Putin in the political sphere–virtually unavoidable for an oilman in the era of pipeline politics–Putin made him pay the only way an unreformed KGB thug knows how: he stole everything of Khodorkovsky's and locked him up on trumped-up convictions after a show trial. Now that Khodorkovsky has been freed as part of Putin's pre-Olympics public-relations campaign, will Khodorkovsky–once considered the best hope for the opposition, and a far more appealing candidate than the nationalist Aleksei Navalny–rejoin the political sphere? Probably not:
Q: Are you going to be involved in politics?
A: I am not going to be involved in politics as a fight for power. But if we are talking about the fight for liberation of political prisoners, not just the Yukos ones … how can I behave otherwise? I don't think that even our power would expect me not to do it. Not to do or say anything.
But in the larger sense I have a position which I don't think was the reason for my arrest, but nevertheless I declared it back in 2002-3. I think the Russian problem is not just the president as a person, the problem is that our citizens in the large majority don't understand that their fate, they have to be responsible for it themselves. They are so happy to delegate it to, say, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin and then they will entrust it to somebody else, and I think that for such a big country as Russia this is the path to a dead end. Which, in a particular fashion, is where we are now.
You have to explain, "Hey, guys, if you want to live in a democratic country, you have to change the system." I always took the stand that Russia has to be not only really democratic, but a parliamentary system, or — for the start — a parliamentary-presidential situation.
And the problem is not just that the present government doesn't like this, the current society doesn't like it. And you have to persuade it.
Putin can breathe a sigh of relief, one supposes, that he will not be opposed by Khodorkovsky, though it's not as though Khodorkovsky has many options. For now, he probably can't return to Russia at all, let alone regain the financial clout necessary to have a singular voice in Putin's Russia. It's no surprise that Putin won this battle; the deck was, and remains, stacked against his opponents. Khodorkovsky has been left without much of a venue or platform for political activism, even if he's become an icon of those hoping for a freer Russia.
At the same time, the Russian opposition would do well to take Khodorkovsky's advice. He understands that Putin is the main obstacle to democracy, but not the only obstacle. He elaborates more on this point later in the interview, and offers a glimpse of just how potent an opposition figure he could be:
Q: Does the opposition in Russia have any future, and who is the main person there?
A: I don't agree with the very paradigm of the juxtaposition of Putin versus an opposition leader. And the most important person in the opposition, I don't agree with this paradigm. If you have a most important person in the opposition, as a result you will get another Putin. Maybe not us but our children. Vladimir Vladimirovich is a healthy man. So it could go on for a long time.
I think the opposition will be real when the society will acquire a need for self-governance, to take its fate in its own hands. And there will not be the very main person to whom we entrust our future. But there will be different structures, parties, deputies and so on — those people whom we as citizens and voters will appoint. Or control. They will represent our interests, and when they will stop representing our interests, we will remove them. But not one person.
At present, the perspective of opposition is not very strong, particularly because this request in the society is articulated pretty weakly, although much more strongly than it was 10 years ago.
There is a difference between freedom and self-government. They are intertwined, but they are not the same thing. Freedom is a noble goal, and in 2013 it is long overdue to those who want it. True freedom must be political, however, and not just personal. Without political freedom, there is no way to safeguard any other kind of freedom.
That's been the lesson of Putin's Russia. Putin's grand bargain with the Russian people was that they could have their American movies, their Italian operas, their French wine, their German cars–they just had to stay away from Russian politics. But of course businessmen–like Khodorkovsky–as well as artists, teachers, musicians, and the like ended up in prison. Journalists too, though too often they were simply eliminated.
Khodorkovsky's advice for Russians who truly want to be free is to replace the system, not just replace Putin. It's easier said than done, of course. But he is also probably correct that those who invest their hopes in one person are bound for disappointment. And perhaps some jail time.

It depends on his personality, really. If he were anything like me, and per what I'm gathering about the scenario (I'd have a different approach in different scenarios), he might just keep playing the way that other folks in the band are not digging so much because (1) he doesn't agree with their views about what sounds better--he's probably playing what he's playing because it sounds good to him--and that's the case relative to what other folks are already playing, and (2) he's not of the opinion that player's parts should be up for vote--he already said he's not telling other folks how to play, so they shouldn't tell him how to play. In a situation like that, they'd probably have to either can me or adjust themselves to be able to accept what I'm doing.
There are situations that I'd handle differently, though. One is based on money. If the money is good, I'll play any crap you want me to play regardless of how bad I think it sounds, how much I dislike it, etc. The sole reason I'll do that is so that I can play what I do like on my own time instead, and then I don't have to worry about whether I'm going to make any money with it.
The other is if it's a band where we take turns writing out charts--I'll play whatever someone has written for me to play on their chart, and then when it's my turn, you'll play whatever I wrote for you to play on my chart.
But in a more casual situation, I'm not going to respond well to "gang pressure", people telling me what I should be playing, etc. What I'm more likely to do, if people keep pestering me about it, is play that way even more to annoy you, and I'd probably start complaining about the way you're playing as a bit of tit for tat, too. If you're shooting for "less is more", I'll keep telling you you're playing too simple, etc.--at least until you just let me play the way I want to play, and then I'll let you play the way you want to play.
What I'm most interested in musically, anyway, in a band situation, is when you've got a collection of people with very different styles and influences all working together to try to play something they each think sounds good (and by the way, because of that, I always think it's a bad idea when people are advertising for musicians for them to be looking for people into the same influences). I tend to think that the best bands are bands that have some tensions there--I think they tend to do the most interesting music, and the music that moves me emotionally the most . . . even if those tend to be the bands most difficult to keep together, at least without periodic arguments, screaming matches, maybe a few fists flying . . . lol.

Archway Studios is a Slender Live-Workspace Built Around a 19th Century Rail Viaduct in London
Located in Southward, Archway Studios stands on a former brownfield site that was left to sour, and that kind of regeneration is an important part of Undercurrent's professional ethos. Keen to make do with existing conditions, they applied their creative wit to a fully functional hybrid space that is clad in a striking weathered steel shell.
Measures were taken to protect the inhabitants acoustically from the outside noise and to keep the space airy and light. A skylight allows daylighting to fill the interior, which is remarkably contemporary in comparison with its industrial-chic facade, adorned as it is with fresh, natural materials. "As one of 10,000 arches that dissect neighbourhoods across London, it is a model that can be adapted for broad community benefit and regeneration," say the designers, and we definitely agree.

getting ready : moulin rouge
i leave dark and early tomorrow morning to head to moulin rouge and i am almost ready. almost. kits were mailed on monday and should be arriving this afternoon at the hotel. it's always a relief when i see via confirmation that they've landed.
i have also been making some things on the side like the iPad sleeves above and a few other treasures for vendor night. i never feel as if my table is as full as it could be as my making always happens in spurts but what i have i personally love {letting some of these go will be hard!}. i rather enjoy that there is extra love and attention put into each piece i have been making, i've been trying to stay away from a factory style mentality. i am learning to play again when i am in the studio and deep in the "make" stage of making and i believe that if i take it slow what i create connects {my word of the year} on a far deeper level.
happy wednesday!

Fourier Series and Boundary Value Problems is a classic textbook that was first published in 1941. This edition, the seventh, is a revision of the 2001 edition. Since the third edition James Ward Brown has been co-author, and he has taken over responsibility for revisions since Churchill's death. The book provides an introductory treatment of Fourier series and their application to boundary value problems in partial differential equations. In its present form, the book is designed to achieve two objectives. The first is to introduce the concept of orthogonal sets of functions and their use in representing arbitrary functions. The second objective is to present the method of separation of variables in the solution of boundary value problems. A basic example is the use of Fourier series to solve the heat equation.
This book is aimed toward students who have had basic courses in ordinary differential equations and advanced calculus. Although it's completely appropriate for mathematics students, I expect that the primary audience now consists of physics and engineering students. The first summer I was a graduate student, I was assigned as a grader for a course based on — well, an earlier edition of — this book. The course instructor took me aside and warned me that this would actually require me to compute things. (I gather this had been an issue with previous graduate student graders, what with calculation being then somewhat out of fashion.) At that time I very much enjoyed the assignment and the satisfaction of computing Fourier series, expanding functions in series of Bessel functions and Legendre polynomials and solving Sturm-Liouville systems. I think — based on the papers I graded — that most of the students had a similar experience.
This edition shows evidence of considerable revision. The scope of the text has changed very little, although some of the chapters have been rearranged. Most changes seem to be the result of feedback based on classroom experience. The first two chapters now concentrate on Fourier series and their convergence. The chapter on orthogonal functions was rewritten and repositioned so that it is more self-contained and appears in the text right before it is needed. The large collections of exercises have been broken up and moved around so that exercises are matched more clearly with relevant sections of the text.
This continues to be an attractive textbook that is probably still the best choice for learning this subject. The revisions in this most recent edition only enhance its value.

It's rather hard to avoid concept videos that showcase features that many of us want in future products, especially when those products are from Apple. We've heard plenty of rumors that Apple will be announcing a new upgraded iPhone 5S later this year and aniPhone 6 may be arriving next year. Users are also expecting Apple to bring about a lot of new features with iOS 7, which should release sometime this summer.
There have been many videos that conceptualize various aspects in iOS 7 such as the Notification Center, the Lockscreen, multi-tasking bar, etc.
And today, there's another new one that imagines a redesigned task-switcher. In this concept made by Jesse Head, when you double tap on the iPhone's Home button, the multi-tasking bar opens up in full screen. Now it reveals full-size live previews of all the apps that are running in the background. If you've got a lot of apps opened, you can search for a particular one using the new Search bar. Swipe up or down to close the app; simple, right? Apart from that, there's the usual brightness, volume, system toggles and music controls. Watch the concept video below:
The live previews and the swipe to close is what you'll see on most Android devices running Ice Cream Sandwich or above, so I'm not really sure if Apple would try doing this in iOS 7.
Moving on, there's another concept video or more like just a slideshow for the rumored iPhone 6. The video uses iPhone 6 renders made by artist Arthur Reis, which showcase a larger display, thinner bezel and design, a 12 megapixel f/1.8 camera and a touch anywhere Home button. Click anywhere below the screen and you'll get to the home, similar to the touchpad on a Mac. Check out the video below:
That's a pretty good-looking iPhone 6, with a similar iPhone 5 design and that camera will surely take amazing pictures. It has been reported that the iPhone 5S will come with an improved camera, I hope it is something like this. What do you have to say about these iOS 7 and iPhone 6 concepts? Let us know in the comments.

Salvation Army coordinator makes sure red kettles have a solid ring | 12 DAYS OF CARING
EVANSVILLE - Every December for the past six years, the Courier & Press has shared the stories of agencies and people in need with our "12 Days of Caring" series.
This year, we're taking time to tell the stories of people who embrace the holiday spirit yearlong through their giving.
Their volunteerism, compassion and selflessness make a big difference in the lives of others.
For them, caring is a 365 days-a-year promise.
Nancy Miller always carries around what she calls her "bible." No matter where she is, the 63-year-old Evansville woman always has her schedule and contact information for Salvation Army bell ringers.
She spends four to five hours a day on the phone in the months before Christmas recruiting volunteers and paid employees. Their job is to staff the red kettles outside Evansville's retail centers. Salvation Army, known for its charitable work, has 31 locations in Vanderburgh and Warrick counties that it covers 12 hours a day, six days a week.
She admits it's a challenging task.
Members of civic groups, churches, businesses and law enforcement agencies take turns working shifts at the kettles. The Salvation Army fills the gaps by paying low-income workers minimum wage, if the applicants can pass a background check. The goal is to recruit 50 to 75 paid ringers, but this year she hasn't found enough interested or qualified applicants, Miller said.
"It is not easy to stand out there eight to 10 hours," she said, but "some of them are out there 40 hours a week."
Miller got involved with the Salvation Army's charitable work through her brother, Ray Zeller, who serves on its board of directors. She had retired in 2002 after 40 years working in retail.
"I've always been a people person," she said.
She started out when she worked a booth at a local event. Before long she was taking applications from low-income families so their children can get toys from the charity for Christmas. That led to helping with the annual toy distribution.
The Salvation Army served more than 1,000 families through that program this year, said Sandy Appler, director of development for the organization.
Two years ago, Zeller told his sister he needed help with the kettles. She said the kettle work took up 30 hours a week of her time from October to December, but this year it's been much more.
Kettle donations finance the Salvation Army's food pantry, soup kitchen and homeless prevention program, which includes assistance with rent and utility bills.
With a week of collections to go, the kettles were 60 percent short of this year's $200,000 goal, "and Mother Nature is not helping," Appler said about the low temperatures and the recent mix of ice and snow that hit the region.
Requests for help at the food pantry are up 25 percent and at the soup kitchen by 22 percent, she said. The soup kitchen feeds 4,500 meals a week, and the food pantry helps 850 to 1,000 families a month.
Miller also coordinates volunteers to help sell fried livers and gizzards for the Salvation Army at the Westside Nut Club Fall Festival. She occasionally helps stock the food pantry, and she socializes with the patrons at the soup kitchen.
"They need that reassurance," she said. "They need somebody to listen.
"... Yesterday my heart was just broken," she said, adding that she met a young mother at the church with a 3-day-old child.
When the woman left, "they say she put that baby in the sleeve of her coat" because the mother had no blankets for her baby, Miller said.
The Salvation Army's ministry is addictive, she said.
"Once you walk in down there, you are kind of hooked."
Miller's husband, Jim, a retired diesel mechanic, started volunteering with her this year. The couple still find time to visit their 11 grandchildren scattered from Memphis to Atlanta and Cincinnati.
She urges resident in the local area "to understand it's a very worthwhile calling" to help the Salvation Army. "They service the people a lot of different ways, not always materially."

Going Places With the New Central Curriculum
One of the many facets of the university's new Central Curriculum is a required cross-cultural experience. Some students fulfill their Global Opportunities (GO) requirement by spending a semester studying abroad, while others choose to take shorter trips. In other words, students can choose to GO Short or GO Long.
"We expect that the majority of our students are going to choose the short, faculty-led programs," says Scott Manning, associate professor of French and Italian and director of crosscultural programs.
To meet the demand, not to mention their excitement for the program, professors were planning short-term trips before the new curriculum was even finalized, Manning says. Currently 10 GO Short trips have been approved and 10 more are in the process of being approved.
The GO requirement asks students, beginning with the class of 2013, to participate in a cross-cultural experience, either in the United States or abroad, for a minimum of two weeks and then take a reflective course upon their return to Susquehanna. Newly approved trips include those to Northern Ireland, Japan, Greece, Italy and Peru.
Eric Lassahn, director of residence life and volunteer programs, is leading a trip to Northern Ireland in June. "I see the GO program as a means to further my interest in civic engagement and international education," he says. Students will spend time in Ballycastle working with the peace-building organization Corrymeela, in Belfast performing service work with a youth group, and in Derry learning the history of the city and the struggle between Protestants and Catholics.
"The most important thing is that they develop a deeper cross-cultural understanding," Lassahn says.
Naomi Niskala, assistant professor of music, is taking a group of eight students to Japan for a 10-day residency at Niigata University followed by a week of travel throughout the country.
"Japanese and American culture is about as opposite as you can get," says Niskala, who grew up in Tokyo attending English-speaking schools. Students will have music lessons with faculty members and rehearsals with Niigata University students, culminating in a recital. They will also spend some one-on-one time with students answering questions.
In the summer of 2011, students will also have the opportunity to travel to Greece with Coleen Zoller, associate professor of philosophy, and learn about ancient and modern Greek culture. Zoller previously took students on a week-long tour of Greece during spring break. She used that experience to retool the trip and turn it into a two-week GO program.
"It gives you more of a chance to really immerse yourself in the culture, not just be a tourist," she says.
Associate Professors of Management Leann Mischel and David Bussard will be taking students to Italy and Peru, respectively, and Glen Retief, assistant professor of English and creative writing, will lead students to South Africa to learn about travel writing.
Students may also fulfill the GO requirement by participating in one of Susquehanna's long-standing short travel programs, including Focus Australia, Hurricane Relief Team, Susquehanna University Central America Service Adventure (SU CASA) and Philippines: Learning, Understanding and Service (PLUS).
Contributing writers to the People & Places section are Heather Cobun '10, a communications and political science major from Eldersburg, Md.; Adam Hinshaw, a freelance writer from Lewisburg, Pa.; and Julie Nicolov, a freelance writer from Trevorton, Pa.

Best bet is when you find a pill is to look it up either here or pharmer.org. But when there are no markings at all, just put it away in a safe place, or flush it down the toilet. I have gotten lucky in the past before the internet was big like today by calling POISON CONTROLL, try and explain the pill, Obviously be sure to block your phone number.
But your best bet would be to throw it away, never want to chance taking something that can kill you or remove your dick.lol.
Be carefull. Good Luck.

Game days start early, end late for Hens staffWritten by Sarah Ottney | Editor in Chief | firstname.lastname@example.com
The first crews start arriving at Fifth Third Field up to 14 hours before a typical evening game and the last ones don't leave until three or more hours after it's over.
"There are times when there's not anybody here, but it's not very often," said Greg Setola, manager of game day operations.
"For a typical 7 p.m. game, the day really honestly starts around 6 and 7 a.m. for some departments. Actually, the cleaning crew is usually here at 5 a.m. The grounds department gets here next along with food service. Tickets and fanwear start between 8 and 9 a.m., then everything falls in on an hourly basis.
"[After the game], we don't lock anything down until every single fan is out of the ballpark," Setola said. "Then there's a variety of shutdown procedures. It's not just locking the gates and everybody go home. Most departments are here at least an hour and a half postgame. Depending on the promotions, it could be as late as midnight. When there are postgame events, with scouts for example, it's been known to run past 1 a.m."
For morning games, such as school day games for students, the whole schedule gets shifted even earlier, Setola said.
"There's a little bit more prep that goes into those days based on the sheer number of kids and making sure it's a safe environment," he said. "Shutdown on those games also takes a little longer, with 6,000 to 9,000 kids to get counted and safely on buses. But those are the nice days because you get out while the sun is still shining."
Cleaning crews
The first to arrive on a typical game day is the cleaning crew, which comes at 5 a.m. to clean the stadium, finishing around noon, Setola said. Afterward, staff members start setting up any concourse displays needed for that night's game.
The box office and Swamp Shop are open all day, but extra game day staff start arriving around 4 p.m.
Ushers, ticket takers and security personnel arrive about two hours prior to game time, Setola said.
A pregame meeting with staff happens around 5 p.m. with gates opening between 5:30 and 6 p.m.
Sports Turf Manager Jake Tyler is used to working long shifts during the season, but Opening Day is especially drawn out.
For evening home games, Tyler is normally on the job for 16-18 hours, he said. On April 11, Tyler, whose seasonal crew of 20 turf tamers has been working since mid-March to perfect the playing surfaces, plans to arrive at the field at 4 a.m., three hours earlier than normal, to accommodate the TV news people who traditionally file reports from the playing field for morning news shows. But he doesn't seem to mind. Like many baseball fans, Opening Day is a hallowed annual milestone for Tyler, his 17th since he started work as a groundskeeper.
"It feels like summer is around the corner," Tyler said.
Craig Nelson, president of A Cut Above Catering, the official caterer of Fifth Third Field, said crew members start arriving at 7:30 a.m. to receive deliveries and distribute inventory so it's ready for game day staff.
Stand managers arrive around 2 p.m. and the rest of the staff arrives by 4 p.m. Workers start spinning cotton candy and popping popcorn early to have enough in stock by game time. Walking vendors start at 5:30 p.m.
Opening Day is one of the busiest business days of the season, Nelson said.
"Typically Opening Day starts real early just because we want to make sure things are just right and in place and be able to have time to correct anything that may pop up after being closed down for five months over the winter," Nelson said.
Focus on fans
Making sure all the departments are running smoothly is Setola, who usually arrives around 1 p.m. for a
7 p.m. game.
"A lot has changed over the years. It used to be 9 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. or midnight," Setola said. "We all used to do the long shifts and that's kind of the norm for minor league baseball."
He starts by answering emails and voicemails and checking the weather. Then he checks attendance numbers and adjusts staffing levels. He does a walkthrough of the ballpark, making sure everything is set up correctly.
"My main focus on the day is to make sure the fans are getting the experience they are paying for," Setola said. "That's to a whole new level to what it was even five years ago. It really is about the fact that we draw so many nonbaseball fans and how do we make that experience just as good [for them] as the people who actually come to watch the game."
Issues that arise could be anything from misprinted tickets to a spilled soft drink, Setola said.
"Our philosophy is basically 'We fix it now,'" Setola said. "The last thing we want is the fan to walk away with a bad taste. It's very, very, very rare that we can't turn a negative situation into a positive."
Setola is also the guy who makes the call on rain delays or cancellation. "Those are usually coming from me," Setola said. "It's the one part of the job that's probably the most stressful, but we have a system that allows us to make good decisions."
Setola, a New Jersey native, has been with the Mud Hens since 1997, starting as a part-time cashier in the Swamp Shop. He's also served as the Swamp Shop's assistant manager, a ticket sales consultant and box office manager.
"I've had the ability to basically work throughout each department, which is rare," Setola said.
Setola said working behind the scenes at a ballpark has changed the way he watches sports.
"When I visit another ballpark or arena, it usually amounts to me getting there early, which was never the case before. Now I have a list of things I want to check out," Setola said. "I'm looking at the way the ballpark is set up, the kind of entertainment they're providing, what they are doing with the video boards, how are they interacting with fans, what are they providing for guest service, down to the concessions experience.
"I look at it as we're always in the business of being better and if we can find something out there that we can use to improve what we have, we need to do it."
Game days for Home Clubhouse Manager Joe Sarkisian usually start with running errands, such as grocery shopping. He gets to the ballpark by noon, where he checks that laundry was finished, works on paperwork and handles any player issues that arise.
"Somebody might need a car detailed, somebody needs you to pick this up, somebody's wife needs to get picked up from the airport — there's just a million little things the players could need," Sarkisian said.
"The way we've always looked at it is the players need to come here and focus on their work, so we try to provide an environment where they won't have to worry about those outside things as much as possible," Sarkisian said.
For morning games, the clubhouse opens at 8 a.m. to serve breakfast. For evening games, players start arriving around noon to eat and relax. After players hit the field for batting practice at 3:15 p.m., clubhouse staff tidies the locker room and lays out a spread of food. Sarkisian used to cook the food himself, but the catering department handles it now, although he said he occasionally makes his special Mexican lasagna.
Between 5 and 7 p.m., players eat and relax before the game.
"[Sixteen years ago], everybody had pagers; now everybody sits around with an iPad," Sarkisian said. "It was Nintendo 64; now it's PS3 or they sit on their iPad. But we still have a lot of guys who play cards."
After the game, Sarkisian's staff serves a postgame meal and starts doing laundry. Clubhouse staff stays about two hours after the game, with one person staying later in each clubhouse to wait on the last load of laundry.
Sarkisian, a Maumee High School graduate, never played and had only watched a few baseball games before he got a job in Ned Skeldon Stadium visitor's clubhouse 16 years ago.
"I always thought that was kind of a good thing because I just treated everybody exactly the same because I had no idea who they were, as far as prospect or not prospect," Sarkisian said.
The most stressful part of the job is when things go wrong or schedules are tight, Sarkisian said.
"Maybe there's a player transaction and we'll have a guy coming in from the airport at 5:30 p.m. and we have to make sure he has all his stuff, but we have no idea what sizes he is until he walks in," Sarkisian said. "There's a lot of details that go into making sure everything's running right. It's just like putting on a show every night at 7 o'clock."
Travel days are also stressful, loading the bus and making sure everyone has everything they will need on the road. Buses from road games may get back at 4 a.m. and staff must meet them to unload and do laundry.
The best part is the camaraderie, Sarkisian said.
"You get to meet a lot of different personalities. You make friends with them," he said. "These guys are living their dream and playing a game for a living, which is amazing to me and I just get to be a part of it."
Opening Day is always electric, Sarkisian said.
"You just feel like you're shaking off the winter when Opening Day comes around," he said. "It's just cabin fever at this point and you're just kind of waiting to go."

My name is Alex BIRCHLEY here to contact me.Our family tree is posted online on this site! There are 1072 names in our family site.The site was last updated on July 31 2015, and it currently has 23 registered member(s). If you wish to become a member too, please click here. Hope you find it informative...
The picture(s) (top-right) are of the two St Mary's Churches at Dymock (top) and Bromsberrow, a rural corner of Gloucestershire, where my branch of the Birchley Family were settled in the middle of the 19th century, before my Great Grandfather (Albert Walter Birchley) moved to Birmingham, some time during the 1880's.
The two railway station images are those at Erdington, Birmingham, (a district which I was first brought up in the late 1950's and 60's); and of my currently local one at Selly Oak (bottom).
NB. For the sake of consistency, where documents (photos) relating to a person have more than one event recorded, I have assigned them to one album only. These being usually related to the earliest event cited. There are a few exceptions where I have other sources at hand for the earlier event.
Virtual Cemetery Record Photos are another important exception here. These are assigned according to the person's date of burial and not their date of death as inscribed either on their Memorial Gravestone or as recorded in the Cemetery Burial Index Register.
For the same purpose of consistency, I have spelt all surnames in their latest or modern form so as to avoid any confusion over lineage.
All place name/addresses are however, noted as they were at the time the events took place, and not as they may be known today. This is for a variety of reasons. For instance: The parish of Aston in Warwickshire, officially only became incorporated into Birmingham City proper in 1912 as a result of the expansion and redrawing of the City bounderies for political/administerative purposes. Since this is an historical journey into my ancestoral past, I believe it important to reflect the times in which these people lived. This includes using the place-names as they and their contempories would have known them and by which they appear on the many documents assembled to corroborate the accuracy of this tree.

OnLine Magazines are Cozy!
I am still a big advocate of real books – and magazines. However as the recent recipient of a new iPad (thank you Marc!!!!) I have to say that digital magazines are super cool. And I know there are tons – many which we already know and many even free if you already have a subscription. One of my favorite Apps for the iPad is called Flipboard and while browsing through the fashion section I came across an article from Elle Magazine about LVMH (the Louis Vuitton Moet Hennesey Group that Selma Hayak's husband Francois Henri Pinault is the billionaire head of) who has just launched 2 new online magazines (seems everyone is jumping on this bandwagon!) – DiorMag (all about the world of Dior) and Nowness – which will be "Monocle-like" with art, design and architecture rounding out the fashion coverage (btw, Monocle's founder is Tyler Brulee who founded WallPaper Magazine and rebranded Swiss Air) Tres sophisticated! Perhaps a little more down to earth is the fantastic online magazine by my favorite Australian food stylist and cooking star Donna Hay – You need to subscribe to her magazine ($19.99) to get the App for free although you can sample 2 full issues before you committ (and I strongly advise checking them out, you'll be hooked!). This online magazine is a foodie's dream with lots of interaction going on – for example watch this perfect white cake get covered with gorgeous fruit in front of your very eyes! Donna Hay has such incredible style – check out this great interview with her and learn what the heck I'm talking about. More stunning photography… -I'd definitely say move over Martha but I have to say Martha's online mag is good too and if you already subscribe to the magazine the App is free. Cocktail anyone? – we like that Martha! So lots of discoveries to make and sadly not nearly enough free time…Let me know what looking at! (and at the same time what book you're leafing through – for me, it's the Hunger Games – the first of the trilogy (thank you Gavin!).
Digital or otherwise, we just gotta keep on reading!

HOME SWEET HOME: The No. 66 New Mexico men's tennis team returns home to the friendly confines of the tennis bubble for a Friday evening match against Mountain Region member Montana. The Lobos will play the Grizzlies at 6 p.m. on March 12 at home, where they are 2-1. They are 2-3 on the road.
ROAD TRIP RECAP: Last weekend the Lobos took a tour of the Ivy League as they visited No. 71 Yale, No. 14 Harvard, and No. 52 Brown. New Mexico lost 5-2 to Yale and 6-1 to both Harvard and Brown.
The Lobos played four matches against ranked singles or doubles, coming away 1-3. The one win came against the ninth-ranked doubles tandem of Jamie Cerretani/Adil Shamasdin of Brown. The duo which is ranked seventh in the nation by the ITA poll released today, fell to them ranked No. 46 juniors Ryan Stotland and David Kowalski, 9-8. Stotland and Kowalski fell out of the top 50 in doubles this week. New Mexico did win the doubles points at Harvard and Yale.
Individually, only senior Divan Coetzee, ranked No. 22 in the latest ITA poll, and Stotland earned singles wins. Coetzee won at Yale over Ryan Murphy in No. 1 singles 6-2, 6-3. Stotland netted a 6-1, 3-6, 6-3 win at No. 4 singles over Ben Brier of Brown.
GETTING AT THE GRIZZLIES: Montana comes to the Duke City 2-1 this spring. They are coached by Kris Nord.
Leading the Griz is Jan Steenekamp, Stan Nevolovich and Ryan O'Neill. Steenekamp is 16-4 overall but has yet to compete is spring dual meet action. Nevolovich is 13-7 overall and 2-1 at No. 1 singles. O'Neill is also 13-7 overall and 0-2 at No. 2 singles.
In doubles, Steenekamp and Nevolovich have the best overall record at 13-4 but again, Steenekamp has not played in a springle dual match competition. Nevelovoch is 1-2 at No. 1 doubles with Sean Stewart. Gus Treyz and Stuart Wing are 1-2 at No. 2 doubles while O'Neill and Nick Tyree are 2-1 at No. 3.
RECORD BREAKING YEAR: Senior Divan Coetzee has a career record of 84-28 that he has compiled in three short years. Coetzee needs 11 more wins to tie Pepe Caballero for the most wins in UNM men's tennis history. Caballero, playing from 1995-99, went 96-56 overall.
Coetzee is also on track to break the single season record for wins. He is currently 25-8 overall and 7-2 at No. 1 singles. The current record is held by Matt Amgwerd, who won 34 singles matches in the 1999-00 season.
As long as Coetzee can remain healthy, he will have 11 regular season matches left and an undetermined number of matches at the Mountain West Conference Championships. Coetzee may also get an invite to the NCAA singles tournament, which he has participated in the last two consecutive years.

Christmas with my Sisters
Wednesday, December 29, 2010
Pictures from Christmas Eve. This is when Brinkley refused to take a "sister" picture bc she was too busy taking quarters out of the slot machine, so Amanda and I took one by ourselves. Consequently, there was a meltdown over by the slots, which by the way is not a Christmas decoration. It's there all year round.
About to unwrap presents on Christmas morning. About 95% of those presents are torn through by Brinkley in a matter of 10 minutes. Play hair dryers, walking dogs and puzzle pieces everywhere.
I decided to display mine on top of the refrigerator anyway. Makes me think of Christmas with my two sisters. :)

A man sits on his snowmobile, arms extended, gripping the handle bar. He scans the competition and revs the throttle. Today is going to be a good race. This man's name is Scott Elliot and he has lost over 60 lbs.
At 318 lbs, Scott recalls being very frustrated with his weight and deciding to enroll in Ministry Health Care's HMR® weight management program in Rhinelander. He soon began attending weight management meetings and learning new lifestyle habits.
Eventually Scott lost over 60 pounds. He attributes his meetings along with portion control, calorie counting and lifestyle education to getting him to where he is today. He also checks in with his doctor on a regular basis to report his progress and track health issues such as blood pressure.
Today, as Scott sits on his snowmobile, ready for another big race, his spirits have never been higher. Through this whole process he has lost plenty of weight, but gained control of his life. And when it comes to his lap times on the track – let's just say Scott's weight isn't the only thing that's gone down.

Abigail Breslin brings sunshine to Defintely, Maybe, 31 January 2008, Times Online, London, England
Her mother Kim says that when her eldest son, Ryan, now 22, was ready to start school, the state schools in the area where the Breslins lived were not that attractive. Breslin's father had just started his own telecommunications business and could not afford to send his child to private school. "Because of that we tried home-schooling," says her mother, Kim, who now manages her daughter's career. "It worked out well, so when the other two kids started acting, we kept it up. It's far less disruptive when she works away from home."

By Gerry J. GilmoreAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Feb. 22, 2006 A senior member of New York City's business community who's also a strong advocate of the U.S. military helped arrange a recent summit bringing together groups that support America's troops.
The "America Supports You" summit meeting was held in New York City Feb. 17. America Supports You is a DoD program that highlights the efforts of citizens and corporations that work to support U.S. forces and their families.
John O'Connor, chief executive officer of J.H. Whitney Investment Management, told American Forces Press Service that day that he became energized to support America's servicemen and women after he participated in a Joint Civilian Orientation Conference trip in 2005. That trip, he said, included a tour of the aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan at its San Diego berth, as well as visits to military bases. The Defense Department's JCOC program promotes greater understanding of the U.S. military among America's civilian business, academic and community leaders.
"I've tried to lend assistance to the cause since becoming aware of it through JCOC," O'Connor said during an interview outside the Council on Foreign Relations building, in New York City.
O'Connor then went inside to meet with Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld; Rumsfeld's wife, Joyce; and a group of grassroots military-support groups affiliated with the America Supports You program. The defense secretary was in town to deliver a speech at the Council on Foreign Relations. Mrs. Rumsfeld would later visit with the grassroots groups during a meeting held at the America's Society building, located across the street.
O'Connor said he and his wife, Anastasie, were glad to help arrange the meeting place for the America Supports You group. It's important that Americans understand and support their military, he said, especially when many U.S. servicemembers are deployed overseas in the fight against global terrorism.
O'Connor called the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks on the United States "a galvanizing day."
"I lost some great, good friends," the 51-year-old businessman said.
Today, the U.S. armed forces are fighting terrorists worldwide, yet "smaller and smaller percentages of the population, in general, are serving in the military," O'Connor said. Consequently, he said, some Americans don't understand how their all-volunteer military operates.
"Bridging the gap between society at large and the activities of the military is quite critical in our day and age," O'Connor said.
DoD's America Supports You program helps create a bridge of understanding between civilians and U.S. servicemembers and provide support to those who are defending America and its way of life, O'Connor said. "Those who put themselves in harm's way and their families are the ones who deserve the most support," he said.

Local angle
At least two Clark County women have committed to signing on as plaintiffs in the lawsuit against state Attorney General Rob McKenna.
One is Clark County Democrats' Chairwoman Kathleen Lawrence.
The other is Val Alexander of La Center, a retired registered nurse who has had thyroid cancer. Alexander released a statement Thursday expressing her gratitude for the Affordable Care Act.
"I'm at home now with a tracheostomy that requires maintenance and medical supplies so that I can breathe," Alexander said. "Fortunately, this has not been a huge financial burden on me, and I have not had to give up my home because of it. If that were the case, I would be a burden on the government for assisted living."
She said the Affordable Care Act will help women in need afford their medical care, as well as keep many of them from depending on financial assistance from the state.
"During my career, I have seen so many instances of women desperately needing health care assistance, as I worked in public health for a few years," Alexander said. "The services were most often for birth control, cancer screening and child health assistance."
SEATTLE — Dozens of women filed a lawsuit Thursday against Attorney General Rob McKenna, alleging that his participation in legal action seeking to overturn the new federal health care law threatens access to comprehensive coverage for women.
The politically charged lawsuit is seeking a ruling that McKenna violated his ethical duties by asking the Supreme Court to invalidate protections for women's health care. It claims that his actions go against the wishes of his clients, the residents of Washington state.
As of Thursday morning, 90 women had signed on as plaintiffs in the case.
McKenna, a GOP candidate for governor, joined other GOP attorneys general in the federal health care lawsuit more than a year ago. He objected to a provision that required people to buy private health insurance or face a fine.
He said that mandate was unconstitutional, though he supported other parts of the federal overhaul. The new lawsuit targets his efforts to overturn the whole law — not just the part he disagrees with.
The women say they want to force McKenna to ask the U.S. Supreme Court to maintain women's health care requirements, no matter how justices rule on the individual mandate.
McKenna's campaign manager, Randy Pepple, said the lawsuit was a frivolous attempt to change topics in the gubernatorial campaign from former congressman Jay Inslee's "lack of solutions for solving the problems facing Washington state."
The lawsuit, filed in King County Superior Court, noted that McKenna chose to follow the action of other states rather than his own statements and the wishes of his clients. Lawyers for the plaintiffs from the public interest law firm of Smith & Lowney PLLC say McKenna's actions are not in the best interest of Washington state and its residents, which he is obligated by law to represent.
In a statement, the attorney general's office said the lawsuit McKenna joined challenging the health care legislation was the best way to address concerns about the individual mandate.

894 down, only 99,106 signatures to go.
If a petition with the White House asking for the restoration of "fairness to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac common shareholders" reaches 100,000 signatures, the White House will respond.
The petition was created Saturday on the White House's "We the People" site, and asks Congress and the Treasury Department to return Fannie /quotes/zigman/226360 /quotes/nls/fnma FNMA and Freddie /quotes/zigman/226335 /quotes/nls/fmcc FMCC to shareholders.
"Just as the federal government made available funds and guarantees to assist the recovery of AIG and Citigroup and as a result, provided fairness and protection to their shareholders, similar provisions should reasonably be made to protect the Fannie and Freddie common shareholders," the petition states. Consumer advocate Ralph Nader has made a similar plea.
If the 100,000-signature goal is met, the White House will post a response online. If the threshold isn't met, the petition will be removed.
Investors have traded Fannie and Freddie shares higher over the past year, hoping that the government sponsored enterprises will be able to shed government control after they've repaid all of the nearly $190 billion received in support. So far the two firms have sent a total of more than $130 billion to Treasury.
But it's unclear what the future holds for Fannie and Freddie. The U.S. controls the firms and is preventing them from rebuilding capital, despite growing earnings and a rebounding housing market. Lawmakers are discussing plans to reform the government's role in housing finance, but final approval could take years.

So if it takes 90 days and there is are 20 million plus gallons of oil in the gulf and hurricane season comes, we are all screwed when a surge of oil comes onshore and there comes the knock out punch.. Can you say screwed! Katrina will look like an afternoon thunderstorm.
If they weren't wearing seatbelts then why did the officers tell them to proceed? What idiots! Screw the po po!
Quick question.. I have watched the game several times.. and Brees' 32nd completion was to Shockey for the go ahead touchdown.. The next play was a 2pt conversion to Moore, another completion. Why does Brees' not have the Super Bowl record 33 receptions? Stats don't count on these plays? Whats the deallyooo?
@ NOsFuture
I sure hope you are not NO's future, because anyone about to get a degree in Prelaw should be able to at least spell. Are you getting an internet degree ? It's funny how you say the constitution does not guarantee individual gun rights, but you own two. You should live it and turn in your guns to your local police department since it is not your right,,,, only Scalia gave you that right, huh....
This white male is cancelling his subscription tomorrow. I have seen this trend too much with the TP. It's not a matter of race, it's just reporting facts. If three white guys with dark t-shirts went into the ninth ward and did a home invasion, I would hope the TP would report it as so. I ask other subscription holders to cancel as well in protest to this so called political correctness. Let's see how long this post stays up....
Pargo? Where art thou Pargo? Stupidest offseason move ever letting him go. He would always pick up the scoring slack of whoever was off on a certain night.
Get that Russian team on the phone and get him back!!!!!
Why can't we just call it what it is? This is domestic terrorism.
These guys are no different from the Taliban. They intimidate through violence and hold territory for their cause. Their cause is material envy fueled from an inner inferiority complex.
Excessiveness is linked to this inferiority complex. These terrorists are trained from a youngster that you have made it if you have earrings like Kevin Garnett or women like 50. You made it if you have a car with rims bigger than the next guy.
Black people need to look at themselves and realize these things are not signs of success. Self respect, dignity and satisfaction comes from working and providing for one's family or self and this not instilled in these kids. We have lost a generation and everyone after that.
I think Obama has a responsibility and mandate to call out young black males and help break the cycle.
Little Wayne is an idiot. He will wind up in jail.
Little Wayne is an idiot. He will wind up in jail.
Man, that must have been a good Jerry Springer episode that was on.....
C'mon !! Get Romeo Crennel NOW!!!!
It's funny how we want kids to grow up so soon, We got bad messages in music, tv, etc. Parents that don't care and let the state and TV raise their kids and we wonder why we have lost a generation of young black men.
They peddle songs describing drug dealing, murder, sexual exploits etc and when a kid does something stupid, its now tragic.
You will reap what you sow. You sow ignorance that is what you reap. You sow neglect, you get neglect.
People wake up to the fact that this will continue forever.
I think it is funny how hard these kids think they are and then when they realize that they just ruined the one thing they had control of , their life, then they want to cry like babies.
Let's stop selling this lie that being hard is cool, no respect for your fellow citizen is cool. The parents should be ashamed and the perps deserve no mercy. You can raise my property taxes to build as many jails as necessary.
So did they plant the joints on him in jail too..... He should appeal that charge.. If you get away with murder, you should get away with a couple joints in jail... :)
One murder means one down and about 50,000 to go. If we could stop the reproduction rates we could have this problem solved in 25years or so.
Just wait til the All Star game, when the players bring their thug entourages to the city.. A true recipe for disaster.The NBA has a worldwide presence. A problem then will be the final death blow to the N.O. tourism economy and then N.O. can surrender to the thugs for good as N.O. will no longer be a viable city.. Mark my words my friends..
Riley can join Eddie Jordan now.. He can talk the talk and be very eloquent, but he is a total disappointment... The best thing Nagin can do is find another Chief.. That is one thing Nagin has the power to change..
My deepest sympathies goes out to both families really, since they have lost alot... The officer's lost theirs today and the killer's family lost him 20 years ago.
We need 9 defensive starting players.... Keep Smith and Grant and release the rest...
Just when we are about to host some major events to shine on the city, the idiots have to show their a$$. We should offer each protester their own housing unit for free and lock them in and then demolish it. The city could use another enema...
How 'bout Quigley, so we can all egg him!!! and MAMA D as his Queen,,, real nice

A Matt Holliday Tribute You Might Not Have Seen
I think after watching this video we can say that Matt Holliday was beloved in Colorado. Now that the former Rockie-then-Athletic has been traded to the Cardinals, we should all get acquainted with the kind of admiration he received in Denver. I imagine this is how one fan put a positive spin on the Rockies getting swept right out of the World Series by the Red Sox in 2007. Whatever I write about this video won't do it justice, so you should probably just go ahead and watch.

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — New Hanover County Commissioner Brian Berger has had a history of run-ins with his fellow commissioners. It appears after last night's meeting they have finally had their fill. Now they're moving to censure him and remove him from office after a 40-minute public argument. That run-in may have been one of Berger's last thanks to a little-known law.
Near the end of last night's meeting the board voted 3-1 to censure berger and use something call amotion to remove him from office.
Amotion is a seldom used common law that has been on the books in North Carolina for years, but it hasn't been successfully used since 1935, according to Frayda Bluestein, a professor at the UNC School of Government.
"It's a concept that a corporation, and in the government context a city or a county is a municipal corporation, has an inherent right to remove an officer that is a part of the governing board of a corporation for reasons of a pretty significant degree," Bluestein said.
Though Berger's actions could be described as erratic, it is unclear at this point if he can be removed from office, because he was elected to the position by voters.
"It's a power that has been applied by public agencies, and it's unclear whether local governments have the authority to do it given the framework of election to office and given the fact that there is nothing specific in the statutory provisions that govern cities and counties that specifically delegates any authority to remove a member," Bluestein said.
Bluestein says Berger now has two options. He can resign from his position, or choose to fight the amotion in court and let a judge decide his fate.

(ABC 6 NEWS) -- Two men have been charged with nine felonies after what they're accused of led to a woman being shot and a hospital being locked down. Friday afternoon, a copy of the criminal complaint laid out in detail what police believe took place Thursday afternoon. In total, five people were involved and now two face serious charges.
A home, northeast of Lansing, is where the complaint says the shooting happened on Thursday.
"[It] was about 12:30 in the afternoon…We received a call from a medical provider that they had a victim that had been shot," says Mower County Sheriff, Terese Amazi.
27 year-old, Joseph Peterson, and, 62-year-old, Daniel Peterson were quickly arrested in connection with the shooting. They're charged with a combined 9 felonies, including attempted murder for the older Peterson.
According to the criminal complaint, a car with two women and a man went to the Peterson's home to hang out with Joseph. Witnesses say when Joseph Peterson saw the manm, he became angry, got a gun from a nearby garage, and began shooting at the car.
"It was not accidental. We know that from speaking to witnesses, but the motive is unclear," says Amazi.
Witnesses say Joseph then went into the home. Minutes later, Daniel Peterson came back out with a gun and began firing. As the trio retreated, the woman driving the car was shot in the face. The complaint says the injured woman continued to press her foot against the gas pedal while another person steered the car. Once they were a safe distance away, one of the others drove her to the hospital.
The hospital went into lockdown mode because police say the shooters were still at large. The victim was flown to Saint Marys Hospital in Rochester.
The woman, who hasn't been identified, was last listed in serious condition. Again, the motive is unclear, but when questioned by authorities investigators say the elder Peterson said he just wanted the people off his property.

Engineered wood is one of the most exciting developments to come out in flooring for a long time. One of the biggest misconceptions about engineered wood is that it is a laminate floor. This couldn't be further from the truth. The biggest difference that you will find in engineered wood is that it is layered, unlike traditional hardwood. It is also less thick than traditional hardwood, which is generally around 2 inches in thickness. The key distinction here is that while engineered wood is made differently, it presents the same look and feel of traditional hardwood. Most people could probably not even tell the difference between a full hardwood flooring and engineered hardwood. This is just one of the many reasons to make engineered hardwood a serious consideration for your home.
One of the biggest advantages that engineered wood has is that it can be placed directly on a slab, something that you typically can't do with traditional hardwood. This is great for new homeowners, who will find that much of their flooring contains concrete slabs. One of the reasons that this flooring has become so popular in the last couple of years is that is has great durability. It will fit into almost any home situation. Engineered wood is less prone to damage from the various environmental elements in the home. For example, it can handle moisture and sunlight exposure better than traditional hardwood. Given all these environmental considerations, it's not a surprise that many consider engineered wood to be more forgiving.
This forgiveness comes from the layers in engineered wood. One reason that the engineered floor is layered is to provide additional strength. This kind of flooring is thinner and needs the extra support that are provided by layers. The resulting feeling is that of a sturdy floor that you enjoy. The layers are designed in an overlapping pattern to add to the strength of the flooring. It is a misconception that engineered wood is not as sturdy as traditional. This pattern also allows the floor specialist to make specialized cuts to the floor. This type of flooring can go nearly anywhere, which is why it is often praised as one of the most flexible flooring options. In fact the layering serves an important purpose to prevent moisture from buckling the floor. If the bottom layer begins to buckle due to moisture, it is stopped immediately by the layers on top of it.
Another misconception is that engineered hardwood is not real wood. Engineered hardwood is just as real as traditional hardwood, it just has been designed in a different capacity. You can stain and sand it just like any other kind of wood. Visually, the wood is also very appealing. In many ways you could argue that it is better than traditional hardwood. If you are in the market for any type of wood flooring, it makes sense to give engineered wood a try. There may be some misconceptions about what the product actually is, but you will change your mind once you get to actually look at it.

Do You Believe in Love
). The "computerized" voices grated on me after about 2 minutes.
3) The songs had no real structure to them. There was no intro, verse, chorus, middle eight, chorus, out, etc. Seemed like the repitiion goes on until the engineer decides to fade out the end of the song. I imagine this is because the primary reason for these songs is to dance to in a club or a party. The way we danced in the 70's/80's bears no resemblance to how you would dance to this music.
4) Out of about 20 songs, I only found one that sounded like it had real drums in it. The rest had clicks, snaps, and real loud bass booms that kept the beat. Some synthesizers (sampling, no doubt), no piano, no guitar.
1. Correct. Like all those great nursery rhymes we learned when we were kids. Add some sports crowd chanting, and you're pretty much on track.
2. Auto-Tune. It makes the hairs on my neck stand on end. The thought going through my head when I hear an artist with Auto-Tune is: are they going for the effect, or is that "singer" so off, they're just there because they can then market the music to tween boys/girls?
3. The form of hip-hop songs these days is thus:
the chorus, or these days called "the hook" followed by a "verse"
then the hook again, then another verse
then the hook, then another verse, or some cases a bridge
then the hook, usually twice, and fade usually, so the DJ can beat cut one tempo into the next as a seamless transition
4. Correct. And if it's not synthesized drums, it's "sound replacement." Basically you can take, for ex. Steve Gadd hitting a drum once. Then a different drum. Then a snare. Take all of those samples and arrange them electronically. Voila! You have Steve Gadd on your track, and he never physically played one note of your song. And you did not have to pay him triple scale to play the session. In addition to Gadd, I believe there is Vinnie, JR Robinson, Russ MIller, Chad Wackerman sound replacement kits. Sound samples with these drummers just playing drums and some grooves, and insert to your hearts content.
Sounds kinda scary, doesn't it?

Steamboat Springs & Winter Park, Colo. --- In what is quickly becoming a recurring theme, Eva Severrus had a fifth straight podium finish, this time earning her first collegiate win as she beat out Sylvia Nordskar of Denver In the 15k freestyle at the Spencer Nelson Invitational. That win helped the Lobos maintain second place overall, five points ahead of third place host Colorado.
The win was the first of Severrus' young career, and it gives her five straight podium finishes as she has three third place marks and a second place finish yesterday in the 5k classical. Joining her was Anni Nord, who not only had a sixth straight top 10 finish, but also tied her career best with a fourth place finish.
Andrea Lee provided great support in the third position for UNM with a 13th place finish. Heleene Tambet in her second race jumped up to 18th, and Anna Daudert finished 22nd.
Sitting in third place entering the final lap, Severrus made her move, passing both Nordskar and Marine Dusser of Alaska-Anchorage for the win.
"Overall it was a very good race by our women's team. We had two skiers on the lead lap today and got a first and fourth-place finish, so I'm proud of them," said head coach Fredrik Landstedt.
On the men's side, the top three Lobos finished in a group, with Aku Nikander finishing eighth and Aljaz Praznik finishing ninth, his first top 10 finish of the season. Mats Resaland finished 11th to round out UNM's top three.
While UNM's women's Nordic team is making waves, the Lobo men's Alpine team is starting to really come on strong as the Lobos had three top 10 finishes in the slalom. Leading the way was Sean Horner, who clocked in at 1:36.20, just missing his first podium finish but still finishing fourth, besting his career and season bests.
Joonas Rasanen, the defending NCAA Champion in the slalom, saw his first action of the season, finishing eighth, and Michael Bansmer had his best run of the season at 1:37.44 to finish 10th. Bansmer hadn't finished higher than 28th during the 2013-14 season.
Rounding out the men's slalom was Mark Miller, who couldn't break UNM's top three despite a solid 13th place run. Scott Snow was 23rd, Juho-Pekka Penttinen was 24th and Armin Triendl was 28th.
On the women's side, the squad was hurt as arguably UNM's top two downhillers in Mateja Robnik and Karoline Myklebust each missed a gate (Robnik in her first run and Myklebust in her second). Courtney Altringer was UNM's only top 10 finisher in the slalom, checking in eighth with a combined time of 1:42.85. Sydney Staples had a solid race to finish 12th, and Taylor Grauer scored for UNM, finishing 28th.
The Spencer Nelson Invitational concludes tomorrow with the giant slalom.

A jury has been seated in the trial of a man accused of stealing a vehicle and crashing it into a local brewery.
Michael Rae, 54, is charged with vehicle theft, theft, burglary, and criminal mischief in connection with incident last April at Alaskan Brewing Company in Lemon Creek.
Before the jury pool was brought into the courtroom, Rae interjected and said he wanted a stay of proceedings, a response to his own hand-written motions, and fire his appointed attorney so that he could represent himself.
Forty-seven potential jurors were questioned on Tuesday as part of voir dire, or putting them on the spot about their background and knowledge of the case. At times, proceedings seemed part stand-up comedy routine and part inquisition. Attorneys used self-deprecating humor to elicit responses on how each potential juror would consider a witness with a grudge, incomplete or irrelevant evidence, rendering a decision that's beyond any reasonable doubt, or working with jurors with opposing viewpoints.
The jury includes four men and ten women. Two members of the jury will be selected at-random as alternates and excused just before deliberations start.
Court officers and clerks say this is the first trial conducted by Superior Court Judge Louis Menendez, the former prosecutor and long-time defense attorney who was named to the bench last year.
The trial is expected to last anywhere from three to five days.

Max Baucus, the Montana Democrat who heads the Senate Finance Committee, will retire rather than seek another term next year, the Washington Post reported.
Baucus, now serving his sixth term, was expected to face a tough reelection. He has lately bucked his party, raising concerns Obamacare would be "a huge train wreck"; voting against expanding background checks for gun buyers; and opposing a White House-backed bill to grant states the power to collect sales taxes on purchases made online.
Baucus, along with House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp, has been leading a charge for comprehensive tax reform. The likely Democratic candidate to succeed Baucus as Montana senator would be former Gov. Brian Schweitzer, the Post said, citing sources.
It's not immediately clear who would replace Baucus as chair of the finance panel, but it could be Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon, now the committee's third-ranking Democrat. The second-ranking Democrat, Jay Rockefeller of West Virginia, is also retiring.
