Singer/Songwriter's Dark Folk/Blues Exposition
By Mark Uricheck
Chatting with Ed Randazzo, what you get is an affable, soft-spoken genuine soul. On record, though, Ed's a scathing mouthpiece of fire 'n brimstone – part Bob Dylan tortured songwriting introspection, part Mississippi Fred McDowell world-weary, heavy-hearted bluesman. Randazzo's music embodies that deeply personal corner of our psyche, that often unexplored territory where we store the unspoken pain, torment, and life observation – it all bleeds out through Ed's grizzled, Leonard Cohen-esque vocal delivery and earthy instrumentation.
The thirty-something, Luzerne County-based Randazzo has released two acclaimed works of folk-inflected, blues-leaning storytelling – his 2009 debut "See That My Grave Is Kept Clean," and earlier this year, "Show and Tell." Both offerings are bolstered by the production and Appalachian-strewn stringdom of Bret Alexander, recorded at Alexander's Saturation Acres Studios. The Randazzo/Alexander musical partnership appears to be somewhat of a match made in Americana heaven, as the two albums have been quite successful locally, and as Randazzo admits, Alexander's musical intuition has pushed him to songwriting heights that he once thought impossible.
The Journey
"Looking back on everything, the records really wrote themselves," Randazzo humbly recalls, when asked about the beginning of his recording foray with Alexander – embarked upon little more than four years ago. He begins to tell about the origins of the "See That My Grave Is Kept Clean" record (the title and song taken from blues artist Blind Lemon Jefferson's immortal 1927 composition), which was derived from a simple longtime wish to make a folk record.
"I wanted to get a really cool feel, and also didn't want it to be overproduced," he explains. Growing up, Randazzo always had the 'ideal' impression of what his first album would be like, planning everything right down to the artwork. He was that kid, alone in his bedroom with the headphones on for hours on end, soaking up every last ounce of music that he could. He says, though, that upon seeking out Bret Alexander, his vision became more focused than he could have imagined.
"I contacted Bret in the summer of 2008, just to see if he had time to work on something," Randazzo recalls. "I didn't know the length of the project, or what it entailed; I just wanted to see where it could go."
Randazzo, like much of Northeast Pennsylvania, had admired Alexander's work with The Badlees during that band's successful, prolific 1990's period. It was after witnessing numerous Badlees shows that Randazzo's respect for Alexander's musical skill and diversity on an array of instruments, such as dulcimer and mandolin, was planted."Bret was the guy that I would always watch during the show, " Randazzo remembers. "I was always impressed how he could basically pick up any instrument, and play it well."
With only the basic genesis of an idea in tow, Randazzo met Alexander in 2008 to record the track, "Wayfaring Stranger," a classic American spiritual dating back to the 19th Century and covered by everyone from Joni Mitchell to Johnny Cash. "We had done it just as an experiment," Randazzo says, "just to get the feel of the studio, and to get to know each other. It was a really quick friendship, we gelled quickly." A complimentary quote Randazzo likes to fire off: "When you're sitting next to Bret Alexander, you make the most of the time that you have."
With that first record, Randazzo and Alexander worked song by song, conceiving and recording each track on an individual basis. "That record was originally going to be an EP, maybe five songs – like four covers and an original," Randazzo admits. "It sort of developed into this really cool concept record. We ended up being really happy with it."
It is worth noting that "See That My Grave Is Kept Clean" was somewhat of an emotional cleansing for Randazzo, as he says the record came out at a decidedly dark period in his life. "The stuff I was going through, I had to put it away somewhere," he recalls. "I ended up putting it on that record."
Following the record's release, Randazzo performed high-profile gigs like the annual benefit show, "Concert For A Cause," and The Weekender's "Mountaingrown Concert Series" in 2010 – a popular live, on-air showcase broadcast from The Woodlands Inn and Resort via local radio station 102.3 WDMT-FM. The momentum didn't stop as Alexander had by now rekindled a passion for writing original material with artists he was producing, who were soon asking Randazzo if he had written anything new.
A track called "House On The Hill" (which leads into a discussion of Randazzo's current disc, "Show and Tell") was written and brought into the studio to be worked on as a demo. "We were really excited about the song; we played it live at the Mountaingrown show," Randazzo says. "Slowly but surely, more original songs were coming because people were saying, 'We really liked the first record, but we'd love to hear more original material.' That's really how the "Show and Tell" record developed."
Show and Tell, The Future
"Show and Tell" is another crowning example of Randazzo's affinity for bare-bones, acoustic emotionalism. The album contains tracks like the haunting self-realized echo of "Who's That Man," and the biting, steel-string anger of "Let Me Go." Notable guest musicians like ex-Breaking Benjamin drummer, Jeremy Hummel, and blues/soul diva, Alexis P. Suter, along with the omnipresent Alexander ensure the album's creative vibrancy. For Randazzo, "Show and Tell" is just the continuing evolution of a process he's always wanted to mirror.
"I've always loved the performances from the MTV Unplugged and VH-1 Storytellers series," Randazzo says. "With those, there are no do-overs. You hear every mistake, every nuance. I've always loved stuff that wasn't always perfect, and maybe a little off, so that's really how we approached the recordings. I think there's a certain charm to that type of thing."
At this point, Randazzo reflects that as a budding musician, he never really thought that he'd become a singer, admitting that writing was always his forte. "It started with poetry and short stories," he explains, "I never thought I'd be writing songs. I knew I'd always be involved with music; I just never knew how." The hint of uncertainty adds that much more of an element of danger to Randazzo's work, that lack of predictability is a defining characteristic of his music.
Randazzo's love of darker subject matter and darker songs played a major part in the new album's direction. "That was always the type of song that gutted me," he admits. "I guess I enjoy being gutted. (laughs) Whenever I'm in a bad mood, I pull out the saddest song I could find, to sort of enhance it. At the same time, I was always comforted by that as well." The music deals with overtly human qualities, things we all go through – life being fragile, death, common bonds that everyone shares. "Whether we want to admit it or not, I think we've all thought about those things." he says. "I take great care on how I present those ideas."
Arguably "Show and Tell's" defining moment is the track "Who's That Man," which features Alexis P. Suter on co-lead vocals with Randazzo. For the uninitiated, Suter has a voice that can wake the dead. She's a booming, voice-of-god baritone with raw urgency for days. Randazzo tells of the hair-raising experience of having her lend her voice to his music.
"I had this song that Bret and I had finished," recalls Randazzo. "I listened to it at home, and it just didn't feel like it was finished. I wanted to find a female black singer to fill the void, because I wanted someone who had been around, and had seen a lot." A local photographer friend of Randazzo's named Jim Gavenus had given him a list of three possible names who's fit his vision, but Randazzo didn't make it through listening to all three voices.
"I didn't even listen to the other two, because Alexis was the first person I heard," says Randazzo. "Her drummer Ray contacted Bret and myself to see who we were, and what we wanted to do. This was in April of last year. Alexis came up to the studio while she was in Berwick playing at the Briggs Farm Blues Festival last July. She came prepared, she knew what she was going to do. You could tell she listened to it, and you could tell she felt it – you could tell she really wanted to do this."
Randazzo's idea for the song was for a conversation to happen. There's a guy, who's basically looking into a mirror. In a way, Suter's voice is what's coming back to him. "Alexis is the conscience voice in my head," explains Randazzo. "She came in, and we did it in just two takes. Both were great, it was just a matter of which one do we pick."
With that performance finished, Randazzo calls it "capturing lightning in a bottle," he notes that he had another track lying around titled "Still Cry." He hadn't had the chance to give it to Suter in advance, but with her already at the studio, he felt he'd take a shot asking her if she'd mind lending her voice to another song. "I played it for her, and she was just like 'ok, let's do it.'"
It was upon hearing Suter's take on "Still Cry," that yet another magic moment happened.
"Her drummer Ray was outside, just sort of hanging out and listening," begins Randazzo. "When he heard Alexis sing on it, he came running down the hall, saying 'there's your first single. I don't know what other plan you had, but scrap it. This is your single, this is awesome.' I wasn't going to argue with him, so we put out the song on iTunes in October as a digital single. Alexis was so good on these tracks, I was literally sweating though my clothes in the studio watching her (laughs)."
Randazzo offers a side-by-side comparison of both of his albums, extremely proud of each one.
"With the first record, I think there was a shyness in a way," he begins. "Bret and I were just getting to know each other, it was very much a collaborative effort, and I didn't want to take advantage of anything he was offering. With 'Show and Tell,' there was very much a moment where I knew that Bret wanted to push me forward and say 'this is your record.' I can remember at a certain point thinking that everything I asked for, had happened. After Alexis left, Bret looked over at me with a smile and said, 'are you excited?' He said 'even without Alexis, you're doing things on this record that nobody in this area has ever done before.' I was just so completely high on music at that point."
It's ironic that for a record called "Show and Tell," the last track is a children's piece – the nursery rhyme set to song "There Was A Crooked Man." That irony isn't lost on Randazzo.
"It wasn't planned out that way, either," he admits. "I thought, what a neat idea, to have a record called 'Show and Tell, because that's the moment in our childhood when we really introduce ourselves as young people. It's like, 'this is my favorite Lego set, and I'm going to tell you why its' my favorite Lego set.' As adults, we're still participating in show and tell, but we don't call it that anymore. We still do it to each other."
The phrase "show and tell" contains many references, as Randazzo uses it to demonstrate his musical wares.
"As an artist, I'm going to show you my work," he says. "For this project, it works on so many levels. This record was born out of these little discussions."
Randazzo's perspective for the future is fueled by the fantastic response that he's had to his first two records, as well as his experience creating, and performing what equates to musical bloodletting. He says he's always looking forward with new material, and is eager for future live shows, such as the upcoming 2012 installment of the Briggs Farm Blues Festival, where he will be performing with Bret Alexander. Randazzo even hints at the prospect of performing a brand new song that didn't make it onto "Show and Tell."
"I'm excited for the future," he says. I'm excited to write new songs, and develop a third project, and eventually a fourth one. I'm excited about what's coming. It's interesting, I think that when you put something out there in the universe, the universe helps to make that happen."
"My father said to me, 'Ed, being where you are, it's an adventure. Everyday is different, and everyday is like Christmas, because you never know what you're going to get that day.'"

News update on the Acreage Florida cancer cluster investigation
Weitz & Luxenberg is no longer accepting cases concerning the Acreage cancer cluster. This information is provided for informational purposes only.
Our lawyers are currently speaking with families in the Acreage, Florida. Please contact us via the form below to receive regular updates on our possible lawsuit.
Question: Why are 2008 cases not in the Level I analysis of The Acreage, Florida?
Answer: The most recent year available for analysis from the Florida Cancer Data System was 2007. Cases diagnosed in 2008 were discussed in the report and although not in the original analysis, will be interviewed in Level II. Hospitals, labs, physicians and other medical providers that provide data to the cancer registry have six months to report data, therefore cases diagnosed in December of 2008 had until July 2009 to report to FCDS. Late reporters to the FCDS are being followed up with at this time. Once reported, data is checked, missing data is requested, and other verification occurs such that a calendar year of cancer data from FCDS is not routinely available until the end of the next calendar year. 2008 calendar year FCDS data is expected to become provisionally available in November or December of 2009. This is standard practice among cancer registries. In summary, the Acreage study—Level I—was started before verifiable information for 2008 was available.
Question: As part of the Level II review, who will be interviewed from the Acreage area?
Answer: Families that have experienced cases of brain cancers among children newborn through age 19 that were diagnosed from 2000-2008.
Question: What does Level II mean? What is included in a Level II review?
Answer: The Level II review will recalculate cancer rates using more recent population estimates; verify if any particular brain cancer is more common than expected; and describe the residence history and other risk factors of pediatric brain cancer cases through interviews.
Question: How long will the Level II study take?
Answer: A time line has not been set for completion of the Level II Acreage cancer study. DOH will provide additional information regarding the time line when it is available.
Question: Where are new population estimates coming from? Do we need to wait for the next census data?
Answer: Experts from the DOH Central Office are working with Palm Beach County to identify the best source of data for the Level II calculations. They are working in tandem to assess the viability of using a variety of data sources.
Question: I want to have my well water tested. Who do I contact?
Answer: Below is a partial list of Certified Environmental Laboratories in Palm Beach County.
Question: Why are only cancers included in the study?
Answer: The Level I study looked at total cancers and brain cancers in the Acreage area. The original request involved pediatric brain cancers, which was able to be reviewed using these data sources. In addition, brain tumors registered from 2004 to the present were also reviewed. Diseases that are not routinely part of DOH surveillance systems (including symptoms such as headaches, muscle aches and others) were not part of the Level I study and are not able to be explored in the Level II study since DOH has no way of assessing their frequency community-wide or comparing the experience in the Acreage to any other community.
Question: When is the next Acreage community meeting?
Answer: The Palm Beach County Health Department is working with the Department of Environmental Protection as they are planning to organize the requested forum with Pratt & Whitney. Date, time and place will be posted on the PBCHD website as soon as it is confirmed.
Question: When will we know about testing results from the water and soil in our area?
Answer: DEP has posted the latest report results at www.dep.state.fl.us Based on the findings from the DOH Level II analysis interview process, additional testing may be done on water, soil or air.
Question: What can I do to protect my family?
Answer: Many agencies and people are working hard to assure the safety and health of all Floridians. At this time, no additional protective measures are recommended.

KDES students show off dance moves at H Street Festival
"Swing Ya Rag," KDES dancers stepped out on the street at the "H" Street Festival. The audience loved it! (Photo: Matt Vita)
The H Street Festival held in September drew an estimated 100,000 people and included more than 50 artists and 80 performances on 10 stages to celebrate this dynamic neighborhood. The Kendall Demonstration Elementary School (KDES) dancers were the youngest artists at this year's festival and drew a great crowd response to their two dance numbers performed in the Gallaudet University stage area—"Shake Ya Rag," and "Let's Move."
The KDES dancers kicked off the festival with a street happening of their own. Students and a large number of their families paraded with teachers and staff from the Gallaudet campus through the local neighborhood to the H Street stage site. "As we got closer to H Street, the students and families started to see all the food stalls, exhibits, and vendors. It was all I could do to keep the group together and not be lured off by the aromas of the food to taste!" said KDES family educator Tara Miles, who also teaches performing arts.
The students led off the Gallaudet show with two dances. The first number, "Shake Ya Rag," was a reprise of a popular dance number they had performed on stage at last year's Model Secondary School for the Deaf Winter Dance Concert. "Our second number, 'Let's Move,' combined dance and exercise, and we pulled in some fun audience participation," said Miles. "We've been incorporating First Lady Michelle Obama's 'Let's Move' campaign goals to fight childhood obesity through encouraging exercise and good eating habits. Combining exercise moves with dance really motivates our students to want to get up and move."
The H Street Festival is hosted by H Street Main Street, a nonprofit organization with a mission to celebrate and promote the vibrant H Street corridor. For the third year in a row, Gallaudet community members gave performances throughout the day. The 8th Street and Gallaudet stages had interpreters, including deaf-blind/low vision, to make the performances accessible for all audiences.

Philips GoGEAR Vibe 8GB
Hi! I recently bought this item and in the promotional photos it said I could see the artwork (if the song included it), but I can't. I emailed one of Philips consultants and they said if "I was doing everything right it should work". Every song has it's artwork attached (I also did the Tools > Options > Artwork > Auto-fetch thing, but it didn't work). I can see the artwork in my cellphone, iTunes, Windows Media Player, but not on my player.
Can anyone help me with this please?
Edit: It's supposed to look like this
but looks like this (sorry for the crappy pic)

"compact but not practical"
The Good: Compact, light, easy to use gauge
The Bad: Not much air volume. Takes forever to pump high volume mountain bike tires.
Overall Review:
Although compact and beautifully made, the Power Pump Pro is more fashion than function. The lack of air volume requires a lot of effort to pump up high volume mountain bike tires. Look elsewhere if you are flat prone.

The 11.6" Samsung 900X1B, the 1KG sibling to the 13" 900X3A that we tested a while back, arrived today and I've had a solid afternoon of testing, and enjoying, this pre-Ultrabook. I won't call it an Ultrabook alternative because just like the Apple MacBook Air it pre-dates the Ultrabook launch but uses the same design principles…and it's just as good. With an 11.6" screen it obviously goes up against the Asus UX21 and Apple MacBook Air. Here are some first impressions, relatively detailed, that might help you raise or lower the 900X1B on your list.
Announcement: I'll be sitting down in the studio to do some detailed review work on the Samsung 900X1B on Saturday 3rd Dec. You can tune in, ask questions and steer the testing on Saturday 3rd Dec at 2100 MEZ/CET (Your timezone details here.) I'll be live for about 2 hours so please, drop in and join-in on Ultrabooknews.com/live . Follow @ultrabooknews on Twitter for reminders.
Acer – Ultrabooks On Track, Prices Will Fall
Posted by Steve Chippy Paine in News on November 30, 2011
Acer's Jim Wong has told media in Taiwan that Ultrabooks are on track and prices will fall, potentially to $499 in 2013.
Acer had planned to ship, that's ship, 250000 to 300000 units of the Acer Aspire S3 this year and expect to achieve that target. It's a slightly veiled shout of confidence to the media but even shipping a third of a million devices requires a lot of risk-taking and investment.
Ultrabook Alternatives Added to the Database
We love Ultrabooks but we also love the competition from other parts of the notebook industry. Lower prices, faster processors, bigger batteries, discreet graphics and other features give the consumer a choice and challenge the designers of future Ultrabooks. There are some devices that are closer (MacBook Air, Series 9) than others (DM1, SH771) but we can't ignore them.
Samsung 900X1B 11.6" Ultrathin – Will it beat the ASUS UX21?
Available with Core i3 (1.3Ghz non-Turbo) and Core i5 (1.6Ghz, Turbo-enabled) the Samsung 900X1B (Series 9 range) is a stylish alternative to the ASUS UX21. It's been around for a few months and in theory, it's not an Intel Ultrabook but apart from slightly slower quick-boot and a missing TPM module (we are told) it's an Ultrabook! Later this week we'll be testing it and comparing it to our ASUS UX21 experiences.
Gigabyte T1132N – A Flexible, Expandable Alternative
Posted by Steve Chippy Paine in New Products on November 28, 2011
I often refer to the Sandy Bridge platform as an HDR Computing platform that can span multiple mobile usage scenarios but how about adding that platform to a product that covers every angle in terms of hardware too? The Gigabyte T1132N might just be that device.
Forget Ultrabook looks but do think about flexibility and expandability.

A Common Docking Port for Ultrabooks
I think it's going to take me a while to work out the reason why this rather akward and cumbersome looking docking solution port is being considered for Ultrabooks. A common docking standard could be a good move though.
We know already that the 2012 Ultrabook platform will include support for Thunderbolt and that it is going to make a great single-plug docking system given a Thunderbolt station or hub. Ok, the price of the Thunderbolt hub/station or a Thunderbolt monitor is going to be expensive to start with but that price will come down if it is well adopted which it look like it could be. In the meantime we'll have HDMI to carry the digital a/v and if you want a mouse, the usb port making a maximum of two connectors.
The new solution shown via VR-Zone is a single package, dual connector solution for Thunderbolt and additional ports.
Toshiba Z830 With Core i7 Now Available in US.
Along with three other models, the Core i7 variant of the Z830 has surfaced for order in the U.S, with a fingerprint reader but no 256GB SSD option yet.
Following previous announcements in Europe that appear to have held back the Core i7 version of the Toshiba Z830 [seen in testing results] from the shelves, it's good to know it's actually available in the U.S.with a max 6GB RAM. It's dissapointing not to see a 256GB SSD storage option as that could have been a way round the relatively slow 128GB drive. Toshiba doesn't, as far as we know, have a 256GB in their 'value' SSD range so it could have come from a faster family of SSDs. We'll keep an eye out for that.
ASUS Zenbook UX21E Review
Posted by Steve Chippy Paine in Review on November 20, 2011
'HDR mobile computing' is how I would neatly define the Ultrabook category. These surprisingly powerful laptops can work as efficiently as a netbook and then when you need the power, kick-in cores, turbo and other special features to give you a truly all-round solution that includes video editing, gaming and care-free desktop-style working. The Asus UX21 is one of the lightest, smallest and yet, most powerful of the Ultrabooks, at least in the Core i7 1.8Ghz version we have here. We're impressed with what's inside and with its weight and style but there are a couple of potential showstoppers for some people. Read-on to find out more in our detailed multimedia review of the ASUS Zenbook UX21E. Thanks ASUS Germany for the review sample.

ASUS UX21 Live Review – Videos and Notes (Includes Gaming Test Results)
Posted by Steve Chippy Paine in Review on November 18, 2011
Thanks to everyone that joined in the live testing session yesterday evening. It was totally worth the effort because we uncovered a few more nuggets of information and a lot of data on gaming as well as confirming battery life and performance. The videos are embedded at the bottom of this article.
The bad news first. During the evening we experienced two power-downs on removing / inserting the power plug while we were in a game. It was an instant-off situation [see it on the live video here.]. Apparently others have experienced this too. I testing today, I experienced an instant shut-off while World Of Warcraft was loading (on battery mode.)
ASUS UX21 Live Review and Ultrabook Q&A–Today
Posted by Steve Chippy Paine in News on November 17, 2011
Update: Session is finished now. A report
will go up soon. is now available.
I think I'm right in saying that this is the first ever Ultrabook live review and Q&A. It happens tonight, here on Ultrabooknews.com/live
It starts at about 2100 GMT+1 (Berlin time. Your local time here)
We'll be spending 2 hours (yes, it's going to get detailed) testing the UX21 and we'll include battery life testing, video video editing, gaming, web, usability and a whole lot more. There will be a chat session (already open at Ultrabooknews.com/live if you want to log in and start talking) and I'll take general Ultrabook or UX21 questions and guidance from you. Some of the session (not all of it) will be recorded and posted tomorrow. You'll need a flash-enabled browser and about 1mbps of bandwidth to join-in.
See you later. In the meantime, here's a teaser and a bit of World of Warcraft on the UX21…

Fruits of War
See a preview of this Truly CA episode.
Fruits of War explores a devastating cycle of gang violence that has plagued El Salvador for more than thirty years. The film follows four reformed gang members -- Bullet, Rebel, Weazel, and Duke, who escaped to the United States as child refugees from El Salvador's bloody civil war. They settled in the tough east side of Los Angeles, eventually becoming involved in street gangs.
In an effort to suppress an epidemic of gang violence, the US began an aggressive policy of deporting undocumented gang members with felony records. When these four men return to El Salvador, they discover a country ravaged by war, and facing a new wave of violence as the LA street gangs take root in their homeland. The government, with support from the US, begins a brutal crackdown on the gangs, and these four men find themselves in the middle of a conflict eerily similar to the civil war -- pitting the army and police against thousands of El Salvador's poorest residents, now members of the gangs. As they come to terms with their two countries' violent histories, these former gang members redirect their lives towards helping young people deal with this legacy.
This program is not currently scheduled for broadcast.

July 29, 2015
Friends and relatives of Jennifer Hudson listened to spiritual songs and reminisced about her late mother, brother and nephew at a memorial service this evening in Chicago.
The service took place at the church the singer and
Oscar-winning actress attended as a child.
Many of those songs featured Hudson, who did not attend. Her
sister Julia also wasn't there.
Private funeral services for the slain family members are
scheduled for tomorrow.
The bodies of 57-year-old Darnell Donerson and 29-year-old Jason
Hudson were discovered Oct. 24 at the family's home. Three days
later the body of seven-year-old Julian King was discovered in an
SUV on the city's West Side.
No one has been charged in the killings, although authorities
have called Julia Hudson's estranged husband, William Balfour, a
"person of interest."
Chicago police spokeswoman Monique Bond says investigators are
"still processing evidence."

So I remembered seeing a window sticker on her car for a coffee shop and thought I'd do that instead.
The good news:
I asked, and didn't have to pull her aside or do anything awkward! to get her alone! I had to bring a small portion of my kit to class tonight, so after class was done I went out to bring my car around to the campus loading area and waited a minute for her to come out before doing so. I asked her by her car just before she left.
The bad news:
She thought about it for a second and said she'd get back to me, which I'm going to assume for now is a no.
Well at least I did it, and I could be wrong about the 2nd one. It's possible that I just asked at a bad time, or she had something else on her mind or whatnot. Maybe she'll actually get back to me on that one next week! In the mean time, I'll just relax about it and not think so much about the future. I have nothing against her honestly, so I'll just keep talking to her when the opportunities arise and maybe try to further our friendship. If that doesn't happen, there are other girls out there, and at least I know I can do it!
Well done, man, congrats! You did it! Making the first move is the hardest part.
Now take it easy, be cool, don't push it, don't rush and don't panic. It'll be alright.
Look, I met my current girlfriend at a rock show I went. She was a friend of a friend of a friend, lol. I did everything possible to be around her, I made friends with her friends, got her facebook, msn, got invited to the places she was.. etc.
It took me
6 and a half
months to finally be with her. 6 and a half months, man!!! For the first two months, the girl didn't even remember my name.. so go figure.. It takes time!! Just be cool and enjoy the ride. When you look back, you'll see that this "flirting" part of the relationship is probably the greatest. ;)
Good luck, man.

Early iPad 2 review round-up
The early iPad 2 reviews are in and as expected it's getting its fair share of "evolutionary not revolutionary" and "a good thing even better" takes. We've already told you what key features might make you want to upgrade from iPad 1 to iPad 2, or to consider an iPad 2 as your first tablet. To hear what everyone else thinks, follow on after the break...
- Joshua Topolsky: It might frustrate the competition to hear this, but it needs to be said: the iPad 2 isn't just the best tablet on the market, it feels like the only tablet on the market. As much as we'd like to say that something like the Xoom has threatened Apple's presence in this space, it's difficult (if not impossible) to do that. Is the iPad 2 a perfect product? Absolutely not. The cameras are severely lacking, the screen -- while extremely high quality -- is touting last year's spec, and its operating system still has significant annoyances, like the aggravating pop-up notifications. [Engadget]
- John Gruber: The iPad 2 is a solid second-generation iteration. Easier and more comfortable to hold, noticeably faster, equippable with foldable covers that are both literally and figuratively magnetic. Like last year's iPhone 4, it seems like technology from the near future. [Daring Fireball]
- Vincent Nguyen: On most levels, then, the iPad 2 over-delivers. By boosting speed and graphics performance while simultaneously slimming down the chassis and preserving battery life, Apple has maintained its core strengths and extended its lead in what are arguably the toughest areas rivals faces. Sure, a Retina Display would have been great, and high-resolution camera, but it's relatively straightforward to drop those into the next iPad; it's a whole lot more difficult to make a super-thin tablet with 10+ hours of runtime. [SlashGear]
- Jason Snell: For Apple's competitors in the tablet-device market, the iPad 2 is a bucket of water to the face. After more than a year of struggling to catch up to the original iPad, here's a new model that addresses many of the iPad's deficiencies, dramatically improves its speed, and doesn't cede any ground on price, features, or battery life. The iPad 2 raises the bar Apple set a year ago—and it's time for the rest of the industry to scramble again to catch up. [Macworld]
- MG Siegler: In terms of the other competition out there that doesn't begin with a lowercase "i", it's becoming clearer by the day that most don't yet stack up well against the iPad 1, let alone iPad 2. I've only played with a Xoom for a few minutes, and I was generally impressed, but apparently it's very, very buggy. Just listen to Jason talk about it here. The tablets from RIM and HP aren't out yet, and the pricing details around them don't sound too promising. Further, the app support support for all the rivals isn't too promising right now either. That's one of the iPad 2′s greatest advantages that doesn't show up on a spec sheet. [TechCrunch]
- Ed Baig: The iPad 2 doesn't deliver everything on your tablet wish list. But when it comes to the ever-evolving state of the art, iPad 2 is second to none. [USA Today]
- Walt Mossberg: As new contenders move into the field, Apple isn't likely to keep its 90% share of the booming tablet market. But the iPad 2 moves the goal posts, by being slimmer and lighter, boosting speed and power, and holding its price advantages, available apps and battery life. As of now, I can comfortably recommend it as the best tablet for average consumers. [WSJ]
- David Pogue: Thousands of news and entertainment Web sites still rely on Flash, and the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch simply can't display them. But you know what? The iPad will still dominate the market, because it dominates in all the most important criteria: thinness, weight, integration, beauty — and apps. [NYT]
We'll add more as they go live.

Early iPad 2 review round-up
Frames were also a standard at one point. And annoying flashing GIFs.
SOMETHING had to come along to force them to move along. Maybe Apple is the final knife blade to make Flash go buh bye.
Support for those formats from OS makers didn't just cease one day, leaving just white space or a little box where there should be content and Internet users unable to fully experience the web in the translation period.
iPad 2 greatest rival is ......iPad 1 !
I hear you there. I think for any kind of photo needs, it will be fine. Otherwise, yea, I'm going for a pocket camera minimum.
However, I wish it had a higher pixel count so I could use it at the library for research (snap photo of a book and OCR). I'm doubting it will have enough rez to pull that off. It's not going to stop me from buying one though. :)
Yet you are supposed to walk around taking HD video with it. Your argument/excuse making doesn't hold weight.

Trouble setting up network printer
I have an Epson printer installed on my iMac, and my wife was able to add the printer to her HP PC without any difficulties. However, we recently purchased another iMac for my kids, and I cannot get the printer installed to use wirelessly. The iMac has the printer listed as an option in the drop down box (and is selected as the default printer) but when I attempt to print a document, it appears to be searching for it for a few minutes, and then an error message comes up stating that it could not locate the printer and something about Port 631. I checked the wireless connection, and it is working fine.
Anyone know what could be happening (or not happening, as the case may be?).
Is the Epson printer physically attached to one of your computers, or is it wireless only?
It is not connected to any computer, wireless only.
I'll give that a shot; thanks!
And similarly i would physically connect printer to each computer to confirm that it can print to the printer and then reselect as default in each computer once it is back wirelessly.
try going into;
system preferences, Print and Fax
and then removing the printer and re-adding it...
The wireless network at my high school has several network printers set up throughout the building. I was wondering whether it is possible to use my laptop with these printers.
Thank you...

text: Ascend the scree field (lucky for us it was still snow) into Polemonium Bowl. Cross the terminal moraine of the Glacier, keeping to the right. You will see three peaks ringing the Bowl. To your left is Peak 13,962, ahead is Polemonium Peak, and to the right is Sill. The tops of Peak 13,962 and Polemonium are obvious; the top of Sill is not. Ascend the chute just past the moraine ridge; if your compass works, it will be on a Soutwest face. The lower portion of the chute is very loose small rock and sand, but not at all steep. Higher up, where it steepens, a ridge splits this chute and the right hand portion is firm rock. After reaching the summit ridge, traverse to the left to the summit. The only obstacle is a 10 foot notch that requires down and up climbing large blocks. However there is no exposure so even neophytes can handle it. On the descent the sandy (north) chute is the easiest.

Kashian Scrivens, a senior English student with a concentration in African-American studies, traveled to Princeton, NJ, to deliver a presentation, "Just Like Music: Uising Hip-Hop as a Means to Understand Poetry."
He was one of eight students ro receive the ETS presidential scholarship for HBCU students. That award pays the tuition for a full school year, and one of the requirements is that winners must give a presentation related to their major at the Educational Testing Service headquarters. ETS administers and scores tests such as the GRE, SAT, and others.
Speaking to The Register, Scrivens said, "I wanted to show that there is scholarship in hip-hop despite the fact that it is a heavily criticized genre of music."

ripheral tissues (Labrie et al., 1995), meaning that it may also have effects through testosterone and estrogen receptors, not only within the brain but also on immune function and bone and muscle growth. For instance, males with 21-hydroxylase deficiency, a condition that leads to the overproduction of DHEA/S, have reduced fertility, as a result of increased estrogen concentrations suppressing gonadotropin stimulation of the testes (Cabrera et al., 2001; Stikkelbroeck et al., 2001). However, such individuals are also likely to have testicular tumors, clouding the implication of these findings for normal maturation.
DHEA/S is known to have a variety of physiological effects during maturation, including promoting muscle and bone growth (Argquitt et al., 1991; Zemel and Katz, 1986) and disease resistance (Kurtis et al., 2001), as well as playing a role in mood (Goodyer et al., 1996). In addition premature adrenarche has been shown to have effects on both cognition and psychosocial development (Dorn et al. 1999; Nass et al. 1990). Though it is unclear how far findings on cognition can be generalized, Goodyer et al. found that DHEA/S hyposecretion was related to major depression in a sample of 8- to 16-year olds, suggesting that DHEA/S does have important effects on mood during development in normal children.
To understand the role of reproductive maturation in the development of reproductive behavior in human males, its important to separate various strands, including reproductive maturation, pubertal development, and somatic growth. Reproductive maturation involves maturation of the hypothalamic-pituitary testicular axis. This starts with gonadarche or the beginning of testicular growth and the onset of spermatogenesis and testosterone production by the testes, which plays some role in libido. Pubertal maturation, or the development of secondary sexual characteristics as a consequence of increasing testosterone levels, represents the outward appearance of reproductive maturation and plays a role in changing social status.
Both reproductive maturation and pubertal maturation are necessary conditions for adult maturation common to mammalian species. Somatic growth, on the other hand, is not essential to the beginning of reproduction; in fact, in many species reproductive maturation begins when somatic growth has reached its nadir. In contrast, for humans somatic growth during adolescence includes a reacceleration of growth in both weight and height that has been slowing down ever since infancy, suggesting that the pubertal growth spurt may be a specifically human adaptive feature (Bogin, 1999).
However, more recent work suggests that other primate species exhibit a similar growth spurt (Leigh, 1998) in weight, especially among sexually dimorphic species. Chimp males, for instance, show important gains in

Your dam straight they're gonna get the best lawyers! And why not??? They see Paris and Lindsey and Charlie and the rest of the Hollywood royalty get off time after time. Why shouldn't "the commoners' have that same luxury????
Have a good evening, realcomet. I don't want to fluster you any longer.
You have a great rest of the weekend....OK?
Or maybe one of the H-H volunteer fire and rescue workers....
Good grief, "real comet"! I've got you so upset and flustered that you're starting to make multiple posts!
I'm sorry. I will leave you alone now....
No, I have actually discredited you because you brought HEARSAY into this discussion and not FACT.
I win....
I think "realcomet" is taking this "constructive possession" well out of its intended legal definition. Mr. or Ms. "realcomet" is assuming a furious, loud and destructive party was taking place. It could very well be that the drinkers were down in the basement....while the abstainers were upstairs watching TV! All could have been very calm and quite because this party was NOT reported by a neighbor who stated things were"out of control" or too loud. Since you know so much, "real comet"....tell us HOW the party was reported and WHY!
Therefore, using "real comets" "constructive possession" legal definition....our Thanksgiving dinner was WILDER and a bigger violation than this party! (If the examples given above were the case....)
First, the incident in 1975 with the Mustang was Open Intoxicants....thus the emphasis on the rusty can. (I should have elaborated.)
Second, I do have a problem with law enforcement/authority when they attempt to railroad an individual of their rights. Do you favor gestapo tactics, "real comet"????? Are you a Constitutionalist???? Or do you believe the Constitution is an outdated piece of paper???? Do you believe in Miranda Rights, which are blatantly being violated in these MIP cases?????
And who said this was a teen party out of control? Are you even aware of who called the cops and why???? This is a story in itself and probably a MORE SERIOUS ISSUE for the school to deal with!
I'm with Art. I'd like to know if you're a local attorney cuz I'd want nothin' to do with you....
Real Comet, Part 2:
You also do not have the benefit of MY experiences. TWICE I was tossed in the slammer for being an innocent bystander.
In 1975, my 1965 Mustang was ransacked by Concord-Pulaski Sheriff deputies. Their probable cause? They said they smelled pot. What they smelled were cherry flavored Swisher Sweets.
In the process of pulling my back seat out, they found an old beer can stuck down there by the previous owner. It was so old, it was not of the aluminum variety that came out back in my generation and it was RUSTY! They through me in the Jackson Hotel. Of course, the charges were tossed because the evidence was a joke.
Then in 1976, I was tossed in the slammer in the "Great Municipal Parking Lot Bust". Yes, the cops were even pulling innocents off the streets who were just driving NEAR the parking lot. The cops claimed they, too, were creating a disturbance by driving by. What angered me on this case was that I was aware of the problem of people going down there to drink and hang out. There was busted glass everywhere. So I purchased, out of my own paycheck, a trash barrel and a lock and chain and placed that on the power pole in the middle of the parking lot. I also would go down, with my broom that I had also purchased, and clean up the broken glass made by the rednecks. That night I was down there cleaning up when they decided to make this "bust" and me and my broom where arrested. That, too, was tossed.
Then there was the time I listened to a sting operation by JCS on a little known scanner frequency. They were on a stake-out for stolen property. They moved in. Problem was, they could not find a single stolen item on this man's property! So do you know what they did? On there little not-so-secret radio frequency, they called for the engraver to FORGE a victim's SS number onto an item, just so they didn't get hung out to dry for false arrest!!!
So....until you've walked in my shoes, Real Comet....
Some parents don't have a choice. Some of these kids are minors when it comes to alcohol offenses, but ADULTS when it comes to voting, having your limbs blown off in war and living on your own.
There were 18 year olds there....
I believe the half dozen that blew zeros should hire the same lawyer and fight it. MIP is not something you want on your record.
And I hope they have to pay hundreds of dollars in legal fees to teach them a good lesson. When you hang around with skunks you start smellin; like 'em!
Real Comet:
You need a reading comprehension course. I do believe I stated from the get-go that I DO NOT CONDONE this behavior. (Please go back and read once again....)
I also stated it was pretty stupid of non-drinkers to be there, since as one writer put it; "You sleep with dogs and wake up with fleas."
HOWEVER, that said, the law-ignorant NON-possessors/NON-consumers should not be charged with the same offense as the drunken minors. The law is NOT clear and a "legal" situation like Thanksgiving dinner CAN BE USED as a basis for MIP. (It's up to the cops discretion and if the cops want to be jerks, they can turn Thanksgiving dinner into a "bust"....)
Hopefully, the judge will see the half dozen or so "zeros" on the ticket and take that into account in the punishment.
I also understand that "lesser charges" are often given to innocents to get to the root of the story. HOWEVER, upping a charge just because someone wants to fight it seems to be on the fringe of double-jeopardy.
I just thought of a good example:
We had Thanksgiving dinner at our house yesterday. About two dozen family members. We had some champagne and various wines on the serving table for the adults. The kids know better than to touch the stuff.
HOWEVER, under the current laws of the State of Michigan, the cops could have come into our home and BUSTED all of the underage young people in our family for MIP....even though none of them did partake.
That is how broad and vague this current MIP law is....
(Again, not giving the guilty in this incident a free pass. However, the ones that did show up and were not drinking at the party (and therefore were not in possession) should not be included in the "bust"....)
>>Where did they get the alcohol?
You're kidding, right?
I'm over a half century old and remember my buddies getting big brother(s) to buy. Of course, big brother(s) wanted an extra "fee" for the risk of getting caught.
Same thing today. (However, I bet the big brother fees are much higher since the consequences are much higher....)
If you are NOT consuming, you CANNOT be in possession. Simple as that.
And let's make the kids completely stupid. They probably ALL threw their drinks down when the cops got there. However, the ones that were in possession were the ones that had alcohol in their blood. A half dozen or so did not have ANY in their blood and were there to "hang out". (And catch fleas.....)
Now how many of us "adults" in here go to legal age parties, but several guests come to the party with weed and are partaking in a few doobies? Does this mean EVERYONE at the party was in possession of pot?
Of course not.
And that's why I stated it wasn't very smart for the non-drinking kids to be at a drinking party. However, they should NOT be given the same punishment as the kids who were drinking and in possession thereof.
And it's possible the punishments will be issued in the order of severity, since the tickets issued did have the intoxication level on them.
You CANNOT be in possession if you did not consume.
The law is too broad, it's a bad law and written as a "revenue generator".
Not condoning youths attending a party that involves drinking, even if they don't drink themselves. It just invites trouble. However, there are at least a half dozen young people who received MIP's that blew absolute zeros and were not drinking.
Lawyers are standing by.....
Did anyone hear the interview?
I'm just wondering if O'Conner fought back tears. He loves this man SO VERY MUCH.....
Sorry Mr. Hesslau, I mean O'Conner....
Back when Tim Barron and Debra Hart were together, Tim would introduce "Little Debbie" with the news, which was...."sanitized for your protection...."
No truer words....
For those of you old enough to remember "gonzo" news reporting on massive AM rock stations like CKLW, please give a listen to this! You might change you mind about the photo, the reporting and other comments in here and realize that maybe tragedies like this still happen....but the reporting has gotten MUCH better.

If the view from the top is nice, why shake things up?
This is pretty much the mindset of SEC commissioner Mike Slive when asked about the rumors of possibly expanding the nation's toughest and most successful football conference.
Slive is a smart guy. He knows the SEC dominates college football. He also knows if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
And the SEC ain't broke.
At the conclusion of SEC spring meetings in Destin, Fla., most media wanted to know how seriously the conference bigwigs would consider expanding the league. Rumors have swirled for months that conferences like the Big Ten and PAC-10 wanted to add more high-profile teams to their respective families.
After the SEC inked its long-term lucrative television contracts with ESPN and CBS, the message from conferences considering expansion was clear: We want in.
It's all money, after all. The PAC-10 and the Big 10, as with any other conference considering such a sizable move, know that roping in the likes of a Texas or Oklahoma could increase TV viewers and, ultimately, increase conference revenue.
Rumors even sparked at the SEC meetings that the PAC-10 had already offered six Big-12 schools to hop into the coastal conference, the likes of Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, and Colorado.
But as for the SEC, why expand? There have been talks that bringing in a Texas or a Virginia Tech or even a Georgia Tech (who left the SEC years ago) would only help the conference.
Maybe, but why take that chance? If it ain't broke, don't fix it. The league is hardly hurting financially; as Ron Higgins of the Memphis Commerical-Appeal reported, the SEC's revenue skyrocketed from $132.5 million to $209 million this year. That's a 57 percent increase. Add that to TV contracts the league already signed, and the future is bright for a league that has won four BCS championships in a row and five of the last seven.
Alabama, last season's national champion, is the preseason No. 1 team in the nation for the fall. The conference's defense and talent will once again show the nation how real football is played. Pigskin is a religion in the South, with the best fans and the best teams, and the SEC likes it that way. No need to fill the balloon until it pops.
Per usual, all eyes are on the SEC. Slive and his boys are on the top of the mountain, so why cause a shake-up that might knock them down?

Stanislaw Rogosinsky, a native of Poland, established the Rogosi Manor. From 1629 to 1776 the manor belonged to Herman von Liebsdorff and was later given to the von Glasenapp family as Herman's daughter's dowry. From 1934, after the Glasenapp family was dispossessed of the manor, a school operates in the manor. When place names were translated into Estonian in 1939, the village was named Ruusmäe, but the manor is still known as Rogosi. In summer 1990, Otto von Glasenapp, son of the owner of the manor visited his old home.
Useful information: There is a museum of local lore in the barbican, which is open in summer. Watercolors of Joh. Chr. Brotze have been preserved as sources of the manor's history.

Cold Steel
Picked for his natural athleticism, Kovak was abducted during Tenebrasque In's invasion of Russia and, under Adam Mercer's instruction, was built into the epitome of cybernetic-biological relations. He is very sparse with words, and allows his blades to do the talking. He is fiercely loyal to the leadership of the Tenebrasque In and sees himself merely as a foot soldier.
Kovak possesses impressive natural strength, speed, agility, and reflexes, however, these have been augmented by the cutting edge of cybernetic equipment.
Strength - Kovak has a strength that allows him to bench just short of one ton. His muscular limb amplifier has boosted that to around a five-ton range
Speed - Kovak can outpace almost any human. Adam himself has stated that he can barely keep up with Kovak. In close quarters, Kovak can move faster than human eyes can perceive. With his muscular limb amplifier upgrade, he has been accelerated to the point that means that he scarcely leaves footprints in the snow, and in close quarters, he can move fast enough to bypass human senses.
Agility - Kovak's agility allows him to perform incredible feats of acrobatic ability
Reflexes - Kovak has reflexes that allow him to dodge automatic gunfire at point blank range.
Immune system - Kovak is completely immune to poisons, venoms, toxins, tranquilisers, diseases, viruses, and other illnesses.
Computerised mind - Kovak's mind acts like a sophisticated computer, piecing together information in combat in order to ensure a victory, and to aid him in learning new maneuvers he can utilise in fights. This sophistication of his brain means his IQ has been boosted to around 173. As such, he is learned in the sciences of biology, chemistry, physics, astronomy, and quantum polydynamics up to doctorate level.
Resistance to telepathy - His brain, much like his body, is part machine. Estimates put the machine/biological ratio at around 40/60. As such, his mind is hard, but not impossible to influence. In addition, he has psychological training to resist telepathy.
Senses - His senses have been augmented to the point where he can perceive objects travelling at multiple times the speed of sound, detect the scent of any number of poisons hidden in a substance, be it solid, liquid or gas, taste almost every ingredient in a recipe, and hear each individual gunshot from an automatic rifle.
Weapons mastery - Due to his computer-like mind, Kovak is able to learn how to properly wield weapons in seconds by downloading the information from a sort of database. His "handler" is responsible for downloading the correct files into Kovak's mind.
