The Chicago business is still a healthy one: like The Beach Boys, they tour every year to large crowds. But also like The Beach Boys, reuniting with their ex-frontman would be a huge event that would get the band more media attention than they've had in years, and would probably be a big enough deal to lead to a tour headlining the venues where they usually split the bill.

Re: If you ever dreamed of playing in Buddy Rich's band, this may change that!
Responding to the last post, I'm pretty sure Buddy Rich is not dead due to the fact that he didn't keep a particular band together. I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure...Yeah, um...yeah...
As for the "Buddy Bus & Backstage Bootlegs" (or the Quadruple Bs as I like to call them,)
if you listen closely, it seems Buddy is more into hearing his own machismo than actually being sincere in his threats. The late, GREAT, Steve Marcus from the BRBB told a great story of coming off the band stand one night, feeling like he had done wonders on his sax. Buddy thought differently, and started yelling, screaming and threatening job termination, all the while attempting to unbutton a new shirt his wife bought him. In the middle of the tirade, Buddy pauses, changes tone, softens his face and asks Marcus, "Hey man, you want this shirt?" Steve says he doesn't think it would fit him. Buddy asks around for someone who might like the shirt, then goes back into his verbal beating of Marcus. That story says a lot...

Protection Racket. Is it a racket?
I have been touting PR bags for some time. I've been using them since my old hard cases were stolen along with my original Zickos drums. I got them when I bought my new (old) Zickos drums. They are not cheap but much cheaper than hard cases and easier to move in and out of my car. I have had them from 1 to 2 years (bought at different times). They are all holding up well...
...except for the bass drum case. It is developing some holes where the rims touch the flat part next to the heads. I called my trusted supplier at a local music store and he told me they are warranted for 1 year (I've had the bass for about a year an a half) and that I was just out of luck.
Is this so? Is there no recourse? The others are doing so well an I like them a lot but this worries me. Will they fail, too? They aren't cheap and I don't want to replace them. Opinions, guys and gals.
Re: Protection Racket. Is it a racket?
I have all Protection Racket bags as well. I have a complete set for my nine piece Tama Granstar and my five piece Tama Artstar Custom, as well as another snare case.
Mine have seen some shows but they are not sliding around a lot. The are stored until needed, then packed with drums and loaded into the van for a short ride. Then they come out and do the reverse.
Your problem seems a bit odd. I have to say that my bass drums cases are for 22"X18" and I have 22"X16" bass drums. So I have a little extra material for the bass drums overall.
So if I understand you correctly, it sounds like the outer black fabric is wearing away at the contact points? If you like the bags overall, I would either buy new ones, or Jerry Rig the ones you have to last longer. It sounds like it is just the bass drum bag giving you drama.
If that is the case, I might suggest finding something to reinforce those contact points. Something as simple as a ring of Duct tape or attaching some thin piece of plastic on the top and bottom of the case as needed. Maybe go to a fabric store and pick out some material to serve as a buffer for extra wear and tear. I would pick something on the thicker side, like a fake leather, or other such material.
Better yet, get the outer material, but also get a buffer material, like a piece of closed cell foam, or carpet padding to sew between the case and the outer material. I think that is what I might do. This only adds a little bulk to the outside of the bag without changing the inside dimensions.
I think there are some limitations to the bags, but I think I am still digging them over the idea of hard cases.
Re: Protection Racket. Is it a racket?
I have PROTECTION RACKET bags, order them specifically one size over for ease of use (drums slip right in/out w/minimal effort) and the fact that more material equals more protection.
The drum bags that fail first and most often are the bags that fit the tightest... for obvious reasons. Tight fitting bags also provide the least protection.
How can you guarantee a loose fitting bag? Order 1 size over.
Re: Protection Racket. Is it a racket?
That's not a bad idea as well. Some if my bags are a fairly tight fit. Others have some play, mostly the ones with the correct sizing, but made for rims mounts, (i don't have rims). For the loser bags, the drums slide right in with no fuss. My bass drums have a little room too.
Great idea!

Re: Protection Racket. Is it a racket?
Take the bag to an upholstery shop and have them sew in a strip of fabric around the edges.
The problem will be solved for a few bucks.

Re: Protection Racket. Is it a racket?
Sorry to read about this, I too have PR bags and think they're great, have you contacted PR directly about this?
Could be a duff batch of material, worth asking directly I'd say?
Re: Protection Racket. Is it a racket?
Re: Protection Racket. Is it a racket?
Obviously/definitely something rubbing making contact with the bag in that area, doubt its a manufacture thing.
Re: Protection Racket. Is it a racket?
I have the Ahead Armor cases and those too are expensive.
Re: Protection Racket. Is it a racket?
This is the response I got from Dean Bowdery of PR:
Thanks for your mail and thanks for your kind words regarding our cases, very much appreciated :-)
Upon reading you mail, I expected the pictures you sent to show the holes on the inside of the case, however they show holes on the outside of the case? I am struggling to see how the drum rim/hoops /nuts on the inside of the case can cause holes on the outer fabric through the inner fleece & 8mm of combination foam? The back of our outer 600denier polyester is also PU coated, it cannot be worn through without a considerable amount of continual rubbing with a sharp object, this would take forever! In 20 years of manufacture and hundreds of thousands of bass drum cases sold, I have never seen this problem before. Simple physics prove that even if the drum were laid on its end in storage these holes wouldn't appear on the outer fabric unless the cases was moving on a rough abrasive surface continuously for a considerable amount of time. The foam used in our cases is the same thickness for all cases.
The only conclusion I can come to is that the case has come into contact with an abrasive surface?
Thanks & best wishes from the UK,
Although nothing said, it doesn't appear they are going to do anything abut it.
Re: Protection Racket. Is it a racket?
I know the PR guys pretty well. They're straight up guys.
Re: Protection Racket. Is it a racket?
So I guess it's off to the upholstery shop.

The Tower Defense (TD) style of video game is a sub-genre of real time strategy games where the idea is to try to stop an invading force from making inroads into your territory by using various fighting methods - and anything else you can get your hands on.

Is your social network getting you down? I've been saying for some time now that, in order to be able to keep up with what your friends are doing, there is an optimum amount of Facebook friends you can have. Once you get above a couple of hundred it starts to turn into a full time job to keep up with your feed properly. What began as a great social experiment has turned, for many, into a race to the most number of friends - the vast majority of which you never have any contact with. Quantity over quality. Worthy ...

One of the most difficult aspects of running a business seems to be billing and paperwork. I've lost count of the number of mistakes and stupid accounting procedures that I've seen over the years - more often from big companies rather than small ones.

So, how on earth can small businesses and freelancers get their accounting act together when the bigger ones, with their much bigger budgets, manage to screw it up on a regular basis? Well, Zervant is an invoicing, accounting and time tracking application that seems to be a pretty ... Read more
Readers who tune into our reviews on a reasonably regular basis will know just how much we love a good photo editing application.

Either something in the past week made Charlie Ergen less confident that his bid to acquire Sprint will succeed, or something made him think sounding less confident improves his tactical position.
Either way, on a conference call with investors and press to discuss Dish Network's first-quarter results, Ergen was considerably more willing to entertain the notion of defeat than he was just last week, when he told his shareholders, "We're not going to lose."
Assuming the reduction of optimism was genuine rather than strategic, it was a response to a move by Softbank Softbank, Dish's rival bidder, which this week told investors it anticipates $3 billion a year in cost savings from a merger with Sprint.
"Based on what I've seen in the last few days from Softbank presentations and the synergies that are there, I would think from that alone they would offer quite a bit more" than the $20.1 billion already on the table," Ergen said on Thursday's call. "If they believe in those synergies, I would expect they may top our bid."
Would such a move induce Dish to raise its own offer, now at $25.5 billion? While Ergen has said Dish could comfortably handle the $50 billion debt load its current bid would generate, he sounded reluctant to go much higher. "There's a limit to what we can bid," he said, adding that "we'd have to take a look at taking on a partner to be able to do that in a big way."
"We have to be realistic that, at the end of the day, they could have more firepower than us," he added.
Moreover, the larger Dish's bid, the keener Sprint's questions about its ability to secure the necessary financing. While Sprint would ideally like Dish to have the necessary commitments in place before allowing it to perform due diligence (thereby imperiling its ability to go ahead with a Softbank deal), Dish, said Ergen, doesn't want to incur the cost of obtaining those commitments unless it believes Sprint is leaning its way.
"So it's kind of a chicken-and-egg thing," he said. "I'm willing to go with committed financing when they say that's the last remaining obstacle to us getting to do due diligence…When they look us in the eye and say, 'We will give you access to the books because we believe you will eventually lead to a superior offer, and the only thing left is for you to give us committed financing,' then we'll give them committed financing."
That may make it sound a little like Dish is basically asking Sprint to agree to its offer before lining up the money, but that's not the case, said Ergen. Really, he's trying to avoid a repeat of the recent ordeal he had in pursuing Clearwire. "It was kind of like Whac-a-Mole," he said. "Every time we answered a question, something else popped up."

"Just wanted to thank you for your prompt service on our computers. In the past, I've tried a few other computer repair companies with dismal results. I've had both my home & business computers worked on by Mann and with running any business, you rely on & can't be without your computer very long. I've always appreciated the prompt, courteous service, whether it's been trying to correct the problem with remote access or getting it resolved quickly after I've dropped it off. From Ann to Mary who answers the phones to the guys in the back, it's always been a pleasure doing business with Mann Technologies."
"Speaking as a business owner and lifelong resident of Genoa, we are very fortunate to have Mann Technologies as part of our small business community. With their friendly staff, they are quick to respond, have excellent trouble shooting skills, and their rates are quite reasonable."
"Any business or individual who is considering implementing, upgrading, or expanding computer technologies would be well served by contacting Mann Technologies. They are current, flexible, creative and enjoy what they do. But most importantly they listen to your ideas and thoughts, and work to make them a reality."
"Recently I decided that the computer system which I had in my office was inadequate and decided to upgrade. I had been working with another computer expert, but could not get him to return phone calls or appear on site to correct computer problems. I contacted several friends and was referred to Mann Technologies...Based on my experience with Mann, I would highly recommend their services."
"As a small business without an internal IT department, it has been critical for us to find and retain a qualified, full-service IT consultant. Mann Technologies has met our needs and exceeded our expectations time after time. From literally building our server computer and network to helping set-up our Pocket PC's, to promptly fixing our self-inflicted errors or system glitches, Mann Technologies gives us the comfort of having full IT capabilities without having to put someone on our payroll. We can't thank Mann Technologies enough for staying on top of the latest trends and solutions so that they can pass that knowledge and savings along to us. I highly recommend Mann Technologies!"

Not too far from my Dr's office. If our plans for the weekend fall through I'm game. But as it stands now this weekend is a family getaway to where only the wife knows ATM. She said the car has to stay as it sits too low to get there.
I do know that she bought some "OFF!" and camping suplies , so my take is that we are off to the wilderness somewhere.
Talk to others running it as well to see what mistakes can be easily avoided.

Duna Lopez started school in Miami last fall not knowing a single word of English.
The 8-year-old girl from Barcelona, Spain, with dark blond hair was placed in the Coral Way Bilingual K-8 Center, the nation's oldest bilingual school. For half the day, she receives classes in Spanish; it's English for the rest. During language arts, she gets pulled out with three other new arrivals for extra help on grammar and phonics.
After seven months, she's one of the most active participants in class.
"In five months, like that, I learned it," she said.
Duna's success is exceptional, but the language challenge she faced is increasingly common across the U.S. educational map. Nationwide, nonwhites are expected to become a majority of the population within a generation, and schools are at the cutting edge of that historic shift.

SAE dodgeball event to raise funds for Palmer Home
February 28, 2013
The MSU chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity will hold the 2013 Paddy Murphy Dodgeball Classic starting Wednesday [March 6] at 3 p.m.
Proceeds from the three-day event at the SAE house will go to the Palmer Home for Children. Entry fees are $90 for teams of 6. No uniforms are needed, but teams are invited to make their own.
"The chapter really wanted to help Palmer Home out in any way possible and get students involved. We saw how much the organization and families did to help the children have a loving and nurturing environment," said philanthropy chair Alden Thornhill, a sophomore communications major from Greenwood.
There will be a women's and men's bracket. The winning team from each will have $150 donated to the charity of their choice.
Information about the event can be found by clicking here or on Twitter at twitter.com/SAEDODGEBALL13.
Those interested in sponsoring the tournament can contact Thornhill at 662-515-1960.

I have completed the second legwarmer, and it is successful. I did one of the stretchy bind-off techniques that Mmario linked me to (k2tog tbl, slip stitch back to left needle, repeat until all stitches are bound off), and I also increased my needle size just for good measure. It fits like a charm...now let's just hope whomever purchases it has the same size thighs as me. LOL Regarding the previous legwarmer, the de-bind-off is going well, I think. I realized after the first 14 stitches that I was only undoing the "psso"'s, but not un-knitting and un-purling that row's stitches. Oh well. No biggie. I think the important thing is that I can get it undone and then re-bindoff appropriately.
So I am on the cusp of finally completing the legwarmers. They ALMOST became a YSP, but I refused to let them cross that line. Up next? Alligator scarf!
on first reading I thought it was a leg warmer for the Dog! LOL. I've yet to knit for the first time, need to buy a book on the subject first.
I say check out knittinghelp.com as they actually have video tutorials of all the basic AND advanced elements of knitting. Also, if you have any type of yarn or knitting store near you, check and see if they have any classes you could take. If not, store owners of such places are typically more than happy to help teach and guide you.

Watch Randy Edsall's full comments in the video player above, following a short advertisement.
Maryland head coach Randy Edsall, in his first meeting with the media since news Friday of charges against two of his players -- linebacker Alex Twine and wide receiver Levern Jacobs -- went public, spoke without saying much about the situation facing the senior and junior.
"It's one of those situations where I really can't talk about it," Edsall said on Tuesday in College Park. "We are still in the process of gathering all the information and as soon as there is something for me to say based on that situation we'll get that information out."
Another question then pressed Edsall about the fact that Jacobs did not take part in the first week of camp.
[RELATED: Could former Terps QB start for St. Louis after injury?]
"That's something that I decided to do based on things that I felt that I needed to do in terms of what was in the best interest of our program and the best interest of Levern," Edsall said.
Twine and Jacobs were both charged on Thursday with second-degree assault stemming from an incident that allegedly took place on July 19th. Twine was arrested. Jacobs received a court summons.
Jacobs took on a starter's role for the Terrapins in 2013 following season-ending injuries to starting wideouts Stefon Diggs and Deon Long. He caught 47 passes for 640 yards last season, including three touchdowns.
Twine registered 49 tackles last season while appearing in nine games.
According to the program's depth chart released on Monday, Twine is listed as a backup at inside linebacker and Jacobs is listed as a starter at wide receiver for Saturday's game against James Madison.

Giannoni's in Seattle Does New York City Proud
If first impressions counted for everything in the omnibus of American pizzerias, then Giannoni's would barely register as a footnote. Crammed between a Sally Beauty Supply and a Taco Del Mar in the Westwood Village Shopping Center, with a full battalion of soccer mom minivans and SUVs parked out front, you would not be faulted for mistaking Giannoni's for a knockoff of some national chain like Round Table or Papa John's. The modest interior is minimally decorated with a definite slant toward the utilitarian, save for some stylish graffiti on one wall and two ancient arcade cabinets. But once a piping hot pie hits your table and you dig in, any aesthetic crime committed by the prosaic architecture is forgiven. More

Public protection does not come cheap.
The Washington County Budget Committee on Thursday deferred action for now regarding funding for 10 new School Resource Officers pending the outcome of state legislation that addresses the issue, an opinion from Tennessee Attorney General Robert E. Cooper, Jr. and a recommendation from a combination of the county's Education Committee, Public Safety Committee and Sheriff's Office.
"So, that brings it back to this committee," said County Mayor Dan Eldridge. "I offered to hire a third party. We still are not clear legally whether we would have to share the expense with Johnson City Schools, and we're talking about $1.4 million in recurring costs."
Eldridge made the offer to pay a third party to thoroughly assess proposed implementation of the SROs from his own budget, but that has so far drawn no public response. Eldridge also wrote Washington County Director of Schools Ron Dykes last month asking that board members address the proposal and report back to him with more details about how the plan would work.
At Thursday's Budget Committee meeting, Dykes' response was distributed. He says in the communique that board members reviewed the campus safety/security measures that are currently in place and that he and board members stood behind the Sheriff's Office and Public Safety Committee recommendation that 10 SROs be added.
"I still stand behind that statement," Dykes said. "I can understand the County Commission's need to determine whether the revenue sharing will affect the county. I'm not sure, however, that should drive the funding. Outside of that, it's always a good sign that they're discussing the matter."
County Attorney John Rambo said at this point he could not properly advise the Budget Committee whether to place the funds in the Sheriff's budget, the schools' budget or the county's budget.
"The fact that we are asking all these questions tells me these are public safety officers," he said. "They would work for a certain period of time at schools. Also, if the dollars must be shared, Johnson City is not bound by law to spend their share on school security.
"There still are varying opinions. A recent opinion said if the money is going into the Sheriff's Department, it doesn't have to be shared. We've posed that question. We also want to find out if using existing Sheriff's Department equipment for school safety — does that have to be shared. We need to get it right."
At a Safety Committee meeting earlier this month, Sheriff Ed Graybeal said it was going to initially cost about $1 million to add 10 SROs to the ranks of the Washington County Sheriff's Office. Those additional SROs would take the total number to 16, allowing each school in the county to covered by an SRO.
The initial cost breaks down to about $98,000 per officer. A little more than $41,000 covers an officer's annual salary and benefits. The remaining costs are related to a vehicle, weapons, uniform and other equipment.
"So they're saying they don't want to do an audit to determine whether this is the best way to go?" asked Budget Committee member Joe Grandy. "Where does that leave us now? If we had that, it would give both the county and the school board assurance that tax dollars are being used wisely and that the threats are being properly addressed."
Eldridge said there are six bills working through the General Assembly regarding SROs — three that would place the state in a position to help pay a portion of security costs. He also said Gov. Bill Haslam has proposed reinstating a $35 million line item into the coming state budget that applies to school security.
For example, HB 269 would require each school to have at least one SRO beginning in the 2014-2015 school year, and the state would handle the entire expense, not school systems. HB 267 gives boards of education the option, by majority vote, to hire part-time, reserve and auxiliary officers. HB 504 would create a district-wide plan in which an SRO would be required to be present at each school during school hours, and state funds would help pay for those officers.
"We're just at the beginning of knowing how this thing is going to unfold," Eldridge said.
Budget Committee member Ethan Flynn told members that the cost "is almost equivalent to building another school, and when you do that you hire architects and designers."

Hang tight!
Recipe by Carol
"A lovely and refreshing pie for the summer."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

egg whites
3/4 cup
white sugar
1 cup
flaked coconut, toasted
1/2 cup
toasted and sliced almonds
fresh peaches, pitted and sliced
1 cup
heavy whipping cream, whipped
1/4 cup
flaked coconut, toasted
This was so good, I loved the crust. Since fresh peaches are only available for about a month in my area, I bought frozen sliced peaches, defrosted and well drained in a colander. Pretty good, but not quite as tender as fresh peaches. The meringue crust puffed up somewhat while baking so after it cooled, I just piled everything up on top. Does not come out of the pan cleanly, but who cares? It's delicious. One recommendation: make this to serve enough people to clean it up in one or two sittings, I noticed by the next day the peaches were starting to drain and make the crust a little soggy.
This didn't turn out very well for me. I wasn't sure how done the meringue was supposed to get, just browned but still creamy like a meringue pie topping or more toward crisp? I assume it is supposed to be more crunchy since that's how it turned out with the 35 minute cooking time. My peaches were not very ripe and I had to sugar them so they were very juicy, that didn't do the meringue much good. I also found the toasted almonds to be too strong a flavor in the crust. All in all, I don't think I got a very good dessert this time around, but it's worth working on and trying again. Maybe I would leave the almonds out next time. And hope for riper peaches.
13 Ratings
I've made this several times and its fabulous! A little difficult to serve as the merangue crust is difficult to cut and doesn't hold togther but - believe me - no one will complain. Maybe even better with fresh strawberries instead of peaches. Heavenly!
Delicious. I had a similar recipe that we loved that used cracker crumbs instead of the coconut and almonds. This recipe blew that one out of the water. Two suggestions: 1st: slightly spray pan with PAM before scooping in the egg mixture. 2nd: I sprinkled the peached with a bit of cinnamon sugar before adding the whipped cream topping (coolwhip was great) I'm going to make it again but for a larger crowd and will try doubling the recipe and putting it in a 9X13 pan instead.
Wow! Absolutely delicious. The name of this pie say's it all. My family loved it. It's a keeper in my recipe box. Thanks Carol
This was great, easy to make and delicious! I did substitute grated dark chocolate as we're not coconut eaters, and I think that turned out really well. We also used canned peaches (cheaper!). I would cut back on almonds though when I make it again, as it was a little too nutty in texture for my taste. It was a hit, and my husband loved it!
Great recipe! I had no problem with the crust coming out and it looked beautiful. However, I forgot my glasses when I went to the store and picked up a pkg of macadamias instead of almonds. But I sliced them up and toasted them and it was delish! My family asked for another pie tonight so maybe I will try the almonds this time.
soooooo easy, soooooo delicious! thanks for the recipe!

A high-ranking official from the Commonwealth of the Bahamas might seem an unlikely person to help chart the future course of Charleston's historic preservation efforts, but Davidson L. Hepburn has worn many hats.
As president of the United Nation's 35th General Conference, Hepburn could offer key advice and support to those hoping to make Charleston the first American city placed on the United Nations' World Heritage List.
Hepburn, who currently chairs the Antiquities, Monuments and Museums Corp. of The Bahamas, is in town this week and has been kept very busy.
The idea for his visit took root because of a chance meeting with Lowcountry resident Rusty Denman at a church in the Bahamas. Shortly afterward, the Charleston World Heritage Coalition - the new nonprofit hoping to get the city recognized as a World Heritage Site - invited Hepburn as its guest.
Hepburn's informal visit will raise awareness of the Charleston World Heritage Coalition, and he could offer advice as the coalition's application takes shape, coalition executive director Thomas Aspinwall said.
The United Nations currently recognizes 981 world heritage sites, including the Taj Mahal, the Pyramids of Giza and Machu Picchu. But the United States has only 21 of them - mostly federally owned landmarks, such as the Statue of Liberty, the Grand Canyon and Yosemite National Park.
That's partly because Congress passed a law forbidding any World Heritage application without the consent of 100 percent of the property owners, a hurdle that so far has prevented any of the United States' historic districts from making the list.
Local preservationists had been discouraged from applying because of the daunting task of convincing every homeowner in the district, but this new attempt will knit together about 20 prominent civic and religious buildings.
"Charleston's domestic architecture is certainly important, but we feel the civic, religious and community architecture is representative of a distinctly American city and really the embodiment of the American experience, both good and bad," Aspinwall said.
To enlist Hepburn's help, organizers pulled out all the stops, with a series of dinners in private homes, special tours, a Spoleto performance and meetings with Charleston Mayor Joe Riley, U.S. District Judge Richard Gergel, artist Jonathan Green and others.
Hepburn and his wife, Dr. Ada Thompson-Hepburn, met Thursday evening with Historic Charleston Foundation Director Kitty Robinson, Preservation Society of Charleston Chairman Kristopher King and others.
The hour-long discussion ranged from keeping the city's neighborhood authentic to managing tourism to the political challenges of getting designated as a World Heritage Site.
Hepburn offered encouraging words and said Charleston is well on the road to getting listed. "The only thing I can say is for you not to get discouraged," he said. "It's going to happen."
Thompson-Hepburn said she has been impressed to see Charleston for the first time. "It's just wow, wow, wow, wow for 24 hours," she said.
The city's preservation ethic also is stronger than anything found in their home country, Hepburn said.
"In the Bahamas, people just tear down anything, and they tear them down to make parking lots," he said. "I know you have some ideas I can take back to Nassau and put into play."
The Charleston World Heritage Coalition hopes to send off its detailed application to the National Park Service within a few years.
When deemed worthy, the application then would be forwarded to the United Nations' Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, known as UNESCO, which ultimately would vote to accept it, turn it down, or refer it back to the United States for revision. That process could take several more years.
Those working on Charleston's World Heritage application say their success would demonstrate Charleston's excellent quality of life and help attract investment of talent and industry as well as grant money for our cultural and religious institutions.
"World Heritage designation can be used as a platform to achieve other things," Aspinwall said.

Girls get the ball rolling | POLL
Players kick off Indiana's largest soccer tournament this weekend
A group of 8- and 9-year-old girls who called themselves the "Cyclones" did not have to warm up much Sunday morning, seeming to be on fire already.
Clad in emerald green jerseys, eight girls from the Evansville Soccer Club huddled on a soccer field at Price Park, and Anna Hopkins, 8, led the charge.
"Who's going to win? We are! Who's going to lose? They are!" the girls yelled.
They played one of the other six U9 (under age 9) teams during Evansville's ninth annual Veterans Invitational Soccer Tournament.
But wins, losses and standings are not kept for this age group, and every girl got a medal. The teams with older players competed for standings and trophies.
Nearly 2,000 female soccer players spread out in 170 teams and ages 9 to 19, and even more family members and friends, came from as far as Arizona to take part in Indiana's largest soccer event.
Matches were played at four complexes — including the 10-field Goebel Soccer Complex — over the weekend, and the boys action is set for next weekend.
"Usually it's the last tournament of the year," Jim King, president of the Evansville Soccer Club, said of the event, which will bring an estimated $5 million in revenue to Evansville.
"And it's an opportunity for clubs from all over the Midwest to come together and play games."
Brooke Lougsdon, 14, of Owensboro, Ky., said she likes the timing of the tournament.
"It's great," she said. "You get a good start to the season."
Many of the athletes said they had fun, and the fields seemed to be a recurring reason.
"I love the fields," said Nicole Schoaf, 13, of Indianapolis. "There aren't any divots or bumps, so the ball doesn't bounce too much or anything."
Some of the girls liked other aspects of the tournament, including the increased level of competition.
Chris Williams, 51, said her daughter played on one team in Indianapolis and then switched to Indy Burn, which has been invited to the tournament for at least the past four years.
"She wanted to play with people that were more competitive," said Williams of her 15-year-old daughter, Kelsie. "(The other team) wanted to play for fun. That's not her."
Other parents and athletes said it was nice to see so many levels of girls playing soccer in one place.
"I like the concept of all the different teams coming here to play," Alison Gonzalez, 13, of Columbia, Ill.
Although it was a tournament, the event did not have brackets or semi-final rounds.
Instead, teams were grouped into pools of four and the two teams that won the most games in that pool would face each other in the championship round.
Kate Belbutoski, 17, of Fishers, Ind., said the weather was perfect and that she liked the turf, but she really enjoyed something else.
Her team, FC Pride, based in Lawrence, Ind., became champions of their pool.
"It was awesome," Belbutoski said, heading to pick up her team's trophy.
Their championship victory came at the knees of the Freeburg, Ill., U17 Knights.
The Knights beat their first opponent and tied their next, and played very well in those two matches, said 17-year-old Emily Kelert of Shiloh, Ill.
But they couldn't carry that into the championship match.
"The stress just got to us. We tried to play hard and couldn't," Kelert said.
Despite the loss, some good did come out of the weekend, Kelert said.
"We saw how well we could play against a team that was just as good as us," she said.
Marcy Kelert, Emily's mother, added that there was something larger that everyone should be proud of.
"Being that girls soccer went from virtually nothing to nearly 200 teams coming this weekend," she said, "is just amazing."

Risk Factors for Lipid Disorders
- A diet high in saturated fat, trans fat, and cholesterol —Eating food high in saturated fat, trans fat, and cholesterol increases cholesterol levels. However, dietary cholesterol does not appear to have as strong an effect on blood cholesterol levels as saturated and trans fats.
- Sedendary lifestyle —Moderate to intense exercise done on a regular basis helps your body decrease unhealthy LDL cholesterol and increase healthy HDL cholesterol. Lack of regular physical activity decreases the body's ability to balance lipids.
- Smoking —Smoking lowers the amount of HDL, the healthy type of cholesterol, in the blood.
- Alcohol intake —While moderate amounts of alcohol can raise the healthy HDL cholesterol, alcohol can also raise unhealthy triglyceride levels.
- Overweight and obesity —Being overweight causes cholesterol levels to rise.
- Hypothyroidism —An underactive thyroid can lead to increased triglyceride and cholesterol levels.
- Diabetes mellitus —Diabetes is associated with elevated triglyceride levels.
- Metabolic syndrome —This condition is marked by elevated blood pressure, cholesterol, blood glucose, and body weight. Excess weight centered around the midsection is of particular concern.
- Liver disease —Having liver disease can raise cholesterol levels.
- Kidney disease —Some kidney disorders are associated with elevated cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
- Certain medications —Many medications, including some antihypertensives, oral contraceptives, and steroids, can alter cholesterol levels. Ask your doctor if any of the medications you take could be causing your cholesterol levels to rise.

NEW YORK - Hollywood's award season, never known for civility, is roiling from a heckling incident between "12 Years a Slave" director Steve McQueen and film critic Armond White.
At the New York Film Critics Circle Awards on Monday night, White allegedly jeered McQueen as "an embarrassing doorman and garbage man" while he was presented the best director award by Harry Belafonte. McQueen dismissed the outburst, apparently not bothered by it.
In an email Tuesday to "12 Years a Slave" distributor Fox Searchlight, NYFCC chairman Joshua Rothkopf apologized to Fox Searchlight and McQueen for "the crass bit of heckling." In the letter, first posted online by Deadline Hollywood, Rothkopf said he was "mortified" that it came from one of the group's own members and pledged "disciplinary action."
White, an editor for CityArts, is known for his contrarian film reviews. He panned "12 Years a Slave" as "torture porn."
In response to questions by email, White disputed reports about his awards-night behavior but declined to explain what he said of McQueen.
"The barrage of lies, misreporting, unsubstantiated sources and made-up quotes is dismaying," White said. "The awards themselves, and the highlights of the evening, such as James Toback and Peter Bogdanovich's praise for best-picture winner 'American Hustle,' have been forgotten in the melee."
Founded in 1935, the New York Film Critics Circle is one of the most prestigious critics groups in the country, made up of 38 New York-area critics. White has previously served as chairman.

Are There Times of the Year for House Buying?
Buying a house is a big deal, especially in these days. So, if you want to make the most out of your down payment budget, is there a good time in the year to buy a house? Some say there isn't but others quote the end of the year as being a good time to make a purchase. Why is this?
The end of the year is usually a time when businesses want to close the books on the year's products and this is no different for home sellers. Home sellers are sometimes more amenable to negotiations, more flexible with costing because of the desire to make quotas and to close sales on certain houses. For independent sellers, the idea of selling their house and completing this activity by the end of the year is a main factor in entertaining buyers and perhaps listening more to deals in order to close a sale.

text: Just sitting here with a buddy of mine who's a big Giants fan, we are looking at all the mock drafts and wondering who the Fins and the Giants are going to take and just realizing that the draft is three months away. Its going to be a fun 3 months, hopefully it goes by fast. I'm not a big collage football watcher i do know some players but not like some of you guys, just want to thank some of you guys for keeping some of us up to date on some of the better known players and some of the sleepers. There will be more mocks and some will change theres, we will agree to disagree on some mocks but thats the fun of it. Enjoy the next 3 months . Heres hoping we get the right players here between free agency and the draft. GO FINS

Declaring a setInterval() without keeping a reference to it (which is returned from the function call setInterval(), it returns an id number for the registered event).
Like so:
var interval = setInterval(function() { console.log('i'); }, 1000); console.log(interval);
It you can see it assigns a random number as the id for the event. Then when we clear the interval it uses that id.
Simply by calling:
A Diirty Solution
Now this is not good coding practice (for a number of reasons) but if you really need to clear that interval we can simply do a loop to find the id of the event to stop all setInterval() events that are running. I've done a quick jsfiddle to show you. http://jsfiddle.net/WqCws/.
for(i=0; i<100; i++) { window.clearInterval(i); }
I'm pretty sure this will also work for setTimeout() and clearTimeout();

For all DA readers in the Los Angeles area (if any):
Three weeks from now, on the weekend of September 5, I'm going to be in California to attend a friend's wedding. The weekend is booked solid, but my flight back to New York leaves from Los Angeles on Tuesday the 8th, and I'll have that Monday free.
So, do I have any readers in or near L.A. who'll be around on Labor Day and are interested in meeting up? It would probably be later in the day, around dinnertime. If you'll be available and are interested, e-mail me (email@example.com) or leave a comment below. If you know any good restaurants you'd recommend, or other interesting things to do, please feel free to mention that as well.

- Description
Ultra-high purity water at an very economical price; these water purification systems maximize pure water production through application of the laboratory grade deionization resins used in our specialty deionization cartridges.
SpectraPure Membranes have 98% average rejection (minimum 96%) and produce 90 GPD & 180 Gallons Per Day at 60 psi and 77 degrees temperature.
New Super Capacity 2-stage Deionizer
First Stage is our revolutionary MAXCAP® DI™ with 3.5x capacity of other mixed-beds
Lower your DI production costs by over half!
Second DI stage is the DI cartridge that pioneered silica removal SpectraPure's Silica-Buster™ Cartridge.
The best pre-filtration available:
Ultra-high efficiency 0.5 micron Sediment Pre-Filter. Our best sediment filter for improved particle removal and long term performance. Not a cheap import.
0.5 micron Carbon Block Pre-Filter with 20,000 ppm-gallons chlorine removal capacity. Our best carbon block Chloramine eater. All the carbon block you ever need, period.
Clear housings and pressure gauge
TWO Dual Inline TDS meters, one to monitor RO Membrane performance and one to monitor MAXCAP®and Silica-Buster™ performance to signal when replacement is required.
Filter wrench
Effective on well water and colloidal silica
Dimensions: 20" x 7" x 16"
SpectraPure® MAXCAP® RO/DI™ Systems incorporate our SpectraPure Membrane that produces 90 GPD. It also has the highest rejection rate available at 98% average (minimum 96%) @ 60 psi & 77 degF. Used in combination with our MAXCAP® DI™and silica-removal Silica-Buster™ deionizing cartridges, this system provides the ultimate removal of algae promoting substances, including colloidal silica, and the longest deionizing cartridge life, significantly reducing the cost of operation. This is water purification at its best, an RO/DI system designed to continuously produce economical ultra-pure water.
This super-capacity DI system consists of a newly developed MAXCAP® DI™ Cartridge, with over three times as much contaminate removal capacity as any other Mixed-Bed DI cartridge. The final stage consists of our SilicaBuster™ DI cartridge, with two, dual inline electronic purity monitors to determine the performance of the RO membrane as well as the DI exhaustion points. While competitors claim ZERO TDS, don't be fooled by limitations of most inexpensive DI Systems. Besides, it just makes sense. Two stages of high quality DI cartridges will definitely produce higher-purity water more reliably over the life of the cartridges than any single stage.
The MAXCAP® RO/DI™ is available with either one 90 GPD membrane or two membranes for 180 gallons per day.
MAXCAP® RO/DI™ Systems are equipped with the finest pre-filtration 0.5 micron MicroTec™ pre-filters, and 20,000 ppm-gallon chlorine/chloramine capacity 0.5 micron carbon block pre-filters. Clear filter housings and a standard pressure gauge provide better monitoring of system performance. No more guessing about plugged pre-filters. Also included is a filter wrench and a 3/4" garden hose adapter.
Our premium grade filters (as used in the MAXCAP® RO/DI™) are a significant upgrade in performance and capacity. Each of our premium grade filters has been extensively tested in the worst-case locations to insure performance, capacity, and reliability. If you have excellent tap water (a rarity these days, but it still happens in some places in the US ), you may be able to scrimp on pre-filtration, but we see that as the exception in most locations, and thus recommend you purchase the best pre-filtration you can afford. As important as pre-filtration is to removal of contaminants and the life of your expensive RO membrane (and subsequently the life of your DI cartridges), we think that for ultimate performance and lowest cost of ownership over the production life of your membrane that you should always use the best pre-filtration available.
Caution: DI cartridge life is greatly reduced when operated on low pH waters or water with high CO2 levels. Aeration or
de-gasification of RO product water is recommended for removal of carbon dioxide prior to the DI section.

Analyzing the PaaS Landscape – Red Hat OpenShift
Red Hat is one of the prominent platform companies. It should be credited for turning open source into a viable commercial business model. I have been following Red Hat from its initial days and Fedora is still my favorite Linux distribution. It officially made its entry into the middleware and application server market through the acquisition of JBoss. Interestingly, JBoss happens to be one of the first J2EE containers that I laid my hands on during the early 2000s. I still remember JBoss as one of the developer friendly J2EE App Servers with the support of Hot Deployment of EJBs. Of course, this came to almost all the application servers eventually.
Like any platform company worth its salt, Red Hat is keen on becoming a preferred PaaS player. Looking back, like most of the players, Red Hat's Cloud strategy evolved with time. It first started with their Virtualization offering that is based on KVM followed by Red Hat MRG (pronounced Merge) that offered enterprise messaging, low latency real time processing and grid capabilities for High Performance Computing. It was a matter of time before Red Hat offered a full-blown IaaS stack. With CloudForms, Red Hat came out with the complete Private Cloud offering that competes with VMware and Microsoft Hyper-V. Red Hat has all the key components required for PaaS. KVM based Virtualization, Self Service and Private Cloud capabilities through CloudForms, and application services through JBoss. But Red Hat's PaaS strategy is different.
Red Hat realized that to be successful in the PaaS segment, they got to offer a Polyglot PaaS. Red Hat's original strength has always been the Java EE platform supported by JBoss. That's when Red Hat has acquired Makara, a PaaS company that is known to support PHP and Python environments. This made complete business sense because Red Hat could enhance Makara by adding the true Java EE support and make it an enterprise class PaaS. In May 2011, Red Hat has officially announced the new branding called OpenShift that became a true enterprise PaaS offering from Red Hat.
OpenShift comes in two flavors – 1) Express, and 2) Flex. OpenShift Express is the free developer offering that doesn't have the GUI management support but supports a variety of languages including Java, Perl, PHP, Python and Ruby. It runs the applications in a shared environment and offers Command Line Interface (CLI) tools for managing the deployments. I am very impressed with the capabilities of OpenShift Express. It is complete through its support for GIT based deployments, choice of languages, choice of databases and ease of use. It only took me 10 minutes to deploy a LAMP application on OpenShift Express. It's great for developers to get started for free. The best thing is that it doesn't require credit card and request gets approved almost instantly.
OpenShift Flex runs on Amazon EC2 and requires the AWS credentials for deployments. The free trial offer gives access to Flex without AWS credentials free for 30 days. Flex is meant for enterprise and high availability applications through its support for JBoss Application Server, Apache Web Server, Apache Tomcat, MySQL, PHP, Zend Framework, Java, Memcached, Membase, Infinispan, MRG Messaging, and MongoDB. The architecture of OpenShift Flex is designed to be Cloud agnostic. That means Flex can technically run on multiple Public Cloud providers or even on Private Cloud to deploy a Private PaaS.
It is interesting to see the similarities between OpenShift and Cloud Foundry. But both on the IaaS and PaaS, Red Hat has chosen to tread a different path instead of supporting OpenStack and Cloud Foundry respectively. We need to wait and watch if this changes in the future.

Over the last few weeks we've completely redesigned our Dustless Blasting website. We're proud to announce that it is finally finished, with a new look, new information, and new real life pictures from people who own our machines!
What a great year it's been for MMLJ and Dustless Blasting. We appreciate all of you who have purchased or even shown interest in our product, and we hope your 2014 is as successful as our 2013 was! This little recap video doesn't do justice to the scope of the changes around here, but it gives an overview. Have a great night and be safe!
As if we weren't already on enough TV shows, magazines, websites, forums and news articles, we're now on an episode of Overhaulin'! It's a very popular auto restoration show on the Velocity channel. Crazy thing is we didn't even know we were on it until one of our employees saw the episode! Chip Foose and his crew used our DB225 to strip the paint from a 1965 Mustang Fastback.
The point is, Dustless Blasting is everywhere, and it is quickly becoming the tool of choice for experts and professionals like Chip Foose. Pretty soon every body shop or auto restorer worth his salt is going to have one. The Dustless Blaster is the future of surface preparation, don't get left in the past!
Dustless Blasting is the fastest, cleanest, greenest paint stripping and surface preparation option available today. Fortunately for you, almost everyone in this industry is using outdated, inferior technology. This creates a great opportunity for anyone who owns a Dustless Blasting system! You can get jobs done faster and better than anybody else. That's what Dustless Blasting is all about.
A good example of this is the city of Chicago. Since the early 90′s they've been using soda blasters to remove graffiti from Chicago businesses. It's slow, expensive, creates a lot of nuisance dust, and kills plants and grass. We took our DB225 to Chicago and showed them how much it could improve their operation. Watch the video below.
Ten years ago, soda blasting was the best solution to paint stripping and surface preparaton problems. Not anymore. While the rest of the world is stuck in the past, YOU can offer the future.
Our new DB1500 Mobile setup includes all of the handy features our other mobiles contain plus a 15 cubic foot blast tank and a 375 cfm compressor! With this much capacity and air volume you'll be able to tackle jobs that would be difficult or impossible with smaller machines. Check it out in the video below:
Next week we'll show you a great income stream that we've never talked about, which the DB1500 and DB3000 are ideally suited for. Until then, have a great week. If you have any questions feel free to give us a call!
A few weeks ago a guy dropped off this 31 Ford so we could strip all the paint and Bondo from it. The Dustless Blaster would have made it an easy job anyway, but it just so happens that we had about 6 people there for demonstrations… so we let them do all the work! So what happens when a bunch of people who have NEVER used the Dustless Blaster before try to blast a classic car? Watch the video below to find out!
They ended up blasting most of the outside of the car in about 45 minutes, and it looked great. They must have liked the way it worked too, because they all bought mobile units after that.
Everyone who uses the Dustless Blaster becomes a believer. Their skepticism disappears just as fast as the paint. If you can make a trip to Houston, give us a call and we'll show you the machine in person!
Like us on Facebook!
Facebook is a great way to keep updated on what we're doing and and see real life jobs being done by real contractors who use our machines! Some of our contractors regularly post real-life videos and photos of blasting, so it's a great place to see real unbiased videos. Sure, we've got 50+ videos for you to look at already, but WE made those, and maybe you think we've exaggerated them. To see some uncut, unedited raw video shot by a real DB user is a great way to confirm that the Dustless Blaster is everything we say it is! Click on the link to the right to be taken to our page.
We're hoping our YouTube Channel is going to surpass 460,000 views this weekend, help make that happen! 460K is no big deal for something like a Lady Gaga song, but it's unprecedented for an abrasive blaster!
People have found our videos to be very useful in deciding weather or not to buy, and educating them after they do buy. So if you haven't already, go subscribe!
We wanted to give all of our potential customers fair warning; we are shipping out a ridiculous number of Dustless Blasters each day and have fallen behind on orders. Spring is a prime time for anyone in the blasting business, and if you're hoping to take advantage of all the great opportunities springtime will have to offer, you should order your machine very soon.
As you can see, we're doing our best to keep up, we're running two shifts, we've hired more welders, and we're expanding our facilities. We're not thrilled about falling behind, but we do want to be upfront about it so nobody misses out on jobs because they ordered too late.
Machines are shipped out in the order they're paid for, so order soon if you have upcoming work planned!
We make a new video almost every week, so if you still have questions or doubts about the Dustless Blaster check out our YouTube Channel to see it in action. Have a great day!
