Suspected child abuse or neglect cases were up last year across the north country, in part the result of increased synthetic drug use by parents.
The Lewis County Department of Social Services fielded a 23 percent increase in calls for suspected cases for the year.
I dont know if we can pinpoint a specific reason for the increase, said Director of Services Jennifer L. Jones, who added that we had a surge in the summer due to legal funk, or synthetic drugs.
Lewis County Undersheriff James M. Monnat confirmed that surge.
It seems we had a lot of problems when synthetic drugs were legal, he said.
Calls to DSS increased with concerns about parents who were using the products.
It puts them in danger of not being able to take care of their children, Mr. Monnat said.
Because of the increase, three overflow caseworkers were assigned to assist the four caseworkers in child protective services.
It was quite an overwhelming year for us, Mrs. Jones said.
In August, the Lewis County Board of Legislators voted unanimously to ban the possession or sale of chemical substances or compounds known as synthetic cocaine and marijuana.
We absolutely had a dramatic decrease in calls following the ban, Mr. Monnat said, though he credited public awareness and users experience with the drugs as other causes for the reduction.
People were seeing what the drug did to them, he said.
Jefferson County DSS experienced a 6 percent increase in calls for the year.
August was probably our highest, said Teresa W. Gaffney, director of services. Then it started to dip.
St. Lawrence County DSS received an 8.2 percent rise in calls last year.
Deputy Commissioner Dianne S. Wilby said, Our increase in numbers is drug related, but not just synthetic drugs.
Marijuana use, as well as the abuse of prescription drug Suboxone, used for opiate detox and maintenance, resulted in a lot of calls, Ms. Wilby said.
Misuse of Suboxone was seen as a result of illegal street purchases of the drug and shopping from doctor to doctor, she said.

Does this affect how I sign in to my Google Apps account?
If you have a conflicting account because you either:
- Started using a Google Apps email address before November 18, 2010 and used products outside of Google Apps core suite of products (Mail, Calendar, Sites, Groups, Docs, and Video) with your Google Apps email address.
- Your domain has recently started using Google Apps, and you previously used your email address to access Google products before your domain started using Google Apps.
The changes only affect the sign-in credentials for a conflicting account.Only your sign-in credentials for your personal conflicting account will change. This does not in any way affect the credentials you should use to sign-in to your Google Apps account, or how you access the data in your Google Apps account. You should still sign in to your organizational account with firstname.lastname@example.com, and your contacts should still email you at email@example.com.
You may see 'An update to your account is required' when signing in with your email@example.com address because you previously had a conflicting account with the same name as your firstname.lastname@example.com organizational account and we're not sure which account you're trying to access - the personal conflicting account, or the organizational account. When you see this 'An update to your account is required' page, you will need to decide where your conflicting account data belongs and then rename your conflicting account.

North country gun owners unhappy with provisions in the NY SAFE Act and the way the legislation was passed are organizing carpools and buses to go to Albany on Feb. 28 for a rally and lobby day sponsored by the New York State Rifle & Pistol Association and Shooters Committee on Political Education.
Im just a gun owner who feels like Ive had enough. Were not going down to be rabble rousers. This is the American way of doing things. The last thing we want to do is turn this into a stereotype. Were God-fearing, law-abiding citizens, said Lawrence I. Kring, a retired state Department of Environmental Conservation lieutenant. If its a law people want, you can bring it out in the daytime. If you know its not going to fly, this is the way you do it, in the middle of the night.
Opponents have criticized the laws swift passage without public hearings and various provisions they find onerous. The law reclassifies many firearms as assault weapons, requires frequent permit recertifications and cuts the number of legal rounds in a firearm.
While applauding some aspects of the law it finds helpful, the state Sheriffs Association has called for modifications to meet its concerns and those of the public.
The Lewis County legislators passed a resolution calling on the state to annul the statute and Jefferson County lawmakers are considering similar action. The St. Lawrence County Board of Legislators also may have a response.
I think its got to be discussed sometime, said Legislator Donald A. Peck, R-Gouverneur. Its something that does need some attention.
Gun owners from across the state are expected to descend on Albany to voice their opposition from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Feb. 28 at the Well of the Legislative Office Building. After the rally, constituents may talk with individual legislators.
We decided to go ahead and fill a bus, said Glenn D. Hancock, Adams, who is working to get the word out in Jefferson County through its sportsmens clubs. Mr. Hancock can be contacted at firstname.lastname@example.com, 408-7340. Other busloads are expected from Lowville and Oswego County.
St. Lawrence County residents can attend an organizational breakfast from 7 to 11 a.m. Sunday at the Amvets in Ogdensburg to sign up for a bus or donate money to the cause. They may contact Mr. Kring at firstname.lastname@example.com or 323-2107 in the Ogdensburg area or Joel J. LaPierre at email@example.com or 486-2909 in Gouverneur.
Mr. LaPierre said he appreciated the laws provisions that pertain to mental health and enhance penalties for killing emergency first responders, but those related to firearms are an over-reach.
All the gun stuff connected to it is ridiculous. It doesnt make any of us safer. I guess we just feel its an infringement of our rights, he said. We had 20, 30 people right off the bat who wanted to go down. Right now, we have one bus going.
Mr. Kring said his primary objection was to the murkiness surrounding ammunition sales and the requirement of a five-year recertification of pistol permit status.
Itll be an expense and the state cant afford it. I can see them charging per gun, he said. Its going to lead to a tax. Its a back-door way of taking guns away.

During Los Alamos Youth Leadership meeting Nov. 13, the LAYL A-Squad team was presented a $250 check for winning the grant-writing contest that Cheryl Pongratz developed for the LAYL teams.
The teams had to participate in a grant-writing seminar Nov. 11 and then prepare a grant application.
The A-Squad submitted LAYL Wild Day as their grant project, which is planned for the spring.
The project involves a Saturday or Sunday where high school students connect with elementary age kids in various fun activities such as a pet parade, Mad Hatters costume party and games.
Registration information on the LAYL Wild Day will be available in early spring and can also be found at www.losalamosjjab.com.
The students have invited youth organizations such as Parks and Recreation, YMCA and Kiwanis to meet with them to seek their partnership in the project.
This project has the potential to host about 300 elementary students and could become a tradition for children and high school students.

15 U.S. Code § 3710c - Distribution of royalties received by Federal agencies
(a) In general
(1) Except as provided in paragraphs (2) and (4), any royalties or other payments received by a Federal agency from the licensing and assignment of inventions under agreements entered into by Federal laboratories under section 3710a of this title, and from the licensing of inventions of Federal laboratories under section 207 of title 35 or under any other provision of law, shall be retained by the laboratory which produced the invention and shall be disposed of as follows:
(i) The head of the agency or laboratory, or such individual's designee, shall pay each year the first $2,000, and thereafter at least 15 percent, of the royalties or other payments, other than payments of patent costs as delineated by a license or assignment agreement, to the inventor or coinventors, if the inventor's or coinventor's rights are assigned to the United States.
(ii) An agency or laboratory may provide appropriate incentives, from royalties, or other payments, to laboratory employees who are not an inventor of such inventions but who substantially increased the technical value of such inventions.
(B) The balance of the royalties or other payments shall be transferred by the agency to its laboratories, with the majority share of the royalties or other payments from any invention going to the laboratory where the invention occurred. The royalties or other payments so transferred to any laboratory may be used or obligated by that laboratory during the fiscal year in which they are received or during the 2 succeeding fiscal years—
(i) to reward scientific, engineering, and technical employees of the laboratory, including developers of sensitive or classified technology, regardless of whether the technology has commercial applications;
(iii) for education and training of employees consistent with the research and development missions and objectives of the agency or laboratory, and for other activities that increase the potential for transfer of the technology of the laboratories of the agency;
(iv) for payment of expenses incidental to the administration and licensing of intellectual property by the agency or laboratory with respect to inventions made at that laboratory, including the fees or other costs for the services of other agencies, persons, or organizations for intellectual property management and licensing services; or
(C) All royalties or other payments retained by the agency or laboratory after payments have been made pursuant to subparagraphs (A) and (B) that is unobligated and unexpended at the end of the second fiscal year succeeding the fiscal year in which the royalties and other payments were received shall be paid into the Treasury.
(2) If, after payments to inventors under paragraph (1), the royalties or other payments received by an agency in any fiscal year exceed 5 percent of the budget of the agency for that year, 75 percent of such excess shall be paid to the Treasury of the United States and the remaining 25 percent may be used or obligated under paragraph (1)(B). Any funds not so used or obligated shall be paid into the Treasury of the United States.
(3) Any payment made to an employee under this section shall be in addition to the regular pay of the employee and to any other awards made to the employee, and shall not affect the entitlement of the employee to any regular pay, annuity, or award to which he is otherwise entitled or for which he is otherwise eligible or limit the amount thereof. Any payment made to an inventor as such shall continue after the inventor leaves the laboratory or agency. Payments made under this section shall not exceed $150,000 per year to any one person, unless the President approves a larger award (with the excess over $150,000 being treated as a Presidential award under section 4504 of title 5).
(4) A Federal agency receiving royalties or other payments as a result of invention management services performed for another Federal agency or laboratory under section 207 of title 35, may retain such royalties or payments to the extent required to offset payments to inventors under clause (i) of paragraph (1)(A), costs and expenses incurred under clause (iv) of paragraph (1)(B), and the cost of foreign patenting and maintenance for any invention of the other agency. All royalties and other payments remaining after offsetting the payments to inventors, costs, and expenses described in the preceding sentence shall be transferred to the agency for which the services were performed, for distribution in accordance with paragraph (1)(B).
(b) Certain assignments
If the invention involved was one assigned to the Federal agency—
(1) by a contractor, grantee, or participant, or an employee of a contractor, grantee, or participant, in an agreement or other arrangement with the agency, or
(2) by an employee of the agency who was not working in the laboratory at the time the invention was made,
the agency unit that was involved in such assignment shall be considered to be a laboratory for purposes of this section.
(c) Reports
The Comptroller General shall transmit a report to the appropriate committees of the Senate and House of Representatives on the effectiveness of Federal technology transfer programs, including findings, conclusions, and recommendations for improvements in such programs. The report shall be integrated with, and submitted at the same time as, the report required by section 202 (b)(3) [1] of title 35.

In fantastical mountainscapes such as Stone Pile and Ascend, she uses paint drips to suggest waterfalls and majestic, Middle Earth-like vistas. Her work has a similar feel to that of fellow Portland artists Adam Sorensen and Anna Fidler, but with the addition of meticulously rendered geometric motifs, glitter and sludgy black paint covering up intricate structures beneath. One of Newell's pieces is called Nihilism/Existentialism, but there is nothing sinister or depressing about this brightly hued, materially inventive show.Through March 10.

Social Security will be able to pay full benefits through 2037, and thanks to health care reform, Medicare will sustain itself until 2029—12 years longer than forecast a year ago—according to the trustees report released Thursday.
Both programs will last another 75 years under current funding rules, though benefit cuts of up to 25 percent for Social Security and 23 percent for Medicare might be necessary a few decades from now.
But analysts and officials say more tweaks are needed to bolster both systems—and the four trust funds that support them—amid uncertainty over rising medical costs and an expected wave of new retirees.
The yearly report examines the short-term and long-term financial health of the Medicare and Social Security systems, based on forecasts of income and outgo.
The authors admit that the forecasts are unable to account for all possible variables in the economy, employment, health care costs and demographics, but analysts say the fiscal snapshots paint an encouraging picture overall.
Building up Medicare
Adjusting payments to providers, more taxes on high earners, and other aspects of health care reform will help stretch Medicare trust funds to 2029, the report says.
After that, the payouts to recipients—currently about 46 million—would be sustained on a pay-as-you-go basis from payroll taxes collected.
Boosting Medicare payroll taxes by 0.66 percent for all workers would make Medicare self-sustaining for the next 75 years, the report said.
However, it's unclear whether the cuts to health provider payments truly are feasible, the report cautions.
The system faces a real crunch from 2020 to 2045, when a large number of Gen-Xers will join boomers in the program.
"The financial problems facing Medicare are the same problems facing private plans and younger people: rising health care costs," said Pamela Herd, associate professor of public affairs and sociology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. "If anything, Medicare has been more efficient than the private sector in controlling costs.
"It's clear we are going to have some savings. What's unclear is how large they will be."
As for Social Security ...
"Social Security is not in that bad of shape," said Herd. "And this has been consistent for a long time now."
Social Security this year will pay its 52.5 million recipients some $41 billion more than it takes in via payroll taxes, which have been eroded by several years of high unemployment rates. The deficit is due in part to an accounting adjustment, but a $7 billion shortfall also is expected in 2011.
The fund that covers retiree and survivor benefits—which were paid to nearly 43 million people by the end of 2009—is running a surplus. But the disability pool, which provided benefits for 9.7 million recipients last year, is on track to exhaust its own assets by 2018. Disability payouts still can be fully covered through 2037, trustees said, if lawmakers allow the retirement and survivor trust funds to be tapped.
Social Security will be able to pay full benefits through 2037, and thanks to health care reform, Medicare will sustain itself until 2029—12 years longer than forecast a year ago—according to the trustees report released Thursday.

Like the recipe suggests, this recipe is a snap. It's really straightforward and simple, but these spicy little cookies lend themselves to all sorts of accompaniments. My favorites are vanilla bean ice cream and a drizzle of Burnt Caramel Sauce.
Make the Dough
Sift the flour, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, baking powder and salt together in a medium bowl. Set aside.
Put the butter and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Switch the mixer to low speed and gradually add the egg, molasses and vanilla extract. Increase the speed to medium and beat until smooth.
Switch the mixer to low speed and add the dry ingredients in 3 additions, pulsing the mixer to incorporate each addition before adding the next one.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Knead a few times to incorporate any crumbs.
Divide the dough in half. Roll each half into a log about 1.5 inches in diameter and 12 inches long. As you roll, gently push the ends toward the center to prevent air pockets and to keep the logs at an even thickness.
Wrap the logs in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 3 hours or up to 3 days.
Bake the Cookies
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line the bottoms of two 12-by-18 inch sheet pans with parchment paper.
Remove the logs from the refrigerator and unwrap them. Using a ruler to guide you and a sharp knife, cut each log into rounds .25 inch thick. If the dough crumbles as you cut it, reshape each slice. Place the rounds on the prepared pans, spacing them 2 inches apart.
Bake on the middle shelves of the over, rotating the pans 180 degrees halfway through the baking time, until set but soft enough to hold a slight indentation when pressed with a fingertip, about 7-10 minutes. Let cool completely on the pans on wire racks.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
2 ¼ cups unbleached all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
½ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup granulated cane sugar
1 extra-large egg
1/3 cup dark molasses
1 ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract, preferably Madagascar Bourbon

Weather forecasts have it feeling like summer for a while longer, but summer officially ends here in Utah and the rest of the northern hemisphere on Friday, Sept. 22 at 10:03 p.m. MDT (12:03 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 23 Eastern Time).
According to NASA Solar System Ambassador to Utah Patrick Wiggins, "At that moment the sun will glide southward across the celestial equator, an event known as the September equinox."
The celestial equator is an imaginary line in space directly above Earth's equator.
On the day of the equinox the periods of daylight and dark are nearly equal and the sun rises due east, and sets due west, which Wiggins notes, "Can be a problem for drivers in Utah where so many roads run due east and west."
While we in the northern hemisphere think of this equinox as the start of the shorter, cooler days of fall, those in the southern hemisphere, where the seasons are reversed, see it as the start of the longer, warmer days of spring.
The next similar event, known as the March equinox, will occur when the sun moves northward across the celestial equator next March, marking the start of northern hemispheric spring.
Similarly, there are two times a year when the sun is furthest from the sky's equator. One is at the start of summer, when it's furthest north, and the other is at the start of winter, when it's furthest south. These events are known as the June and December solstices.

Reading today's headline MLB article on ESPN about the Orioles really agitates me. Here is the link: http://espn.go.com/blog/sweetspot/post/ ... of-destiny
A team of destiny? Really?
In April and May it was "wait until June they will be in last place", then in June it was "wait until the All Star break they won't be over .500", then after the All Star break it was "they won't be around at the end of August", and even after proving everyone wrong it's now "well, maybe they are destined to make the playoffs".
I just don't get it. Even in that article he discounts the Orioles were "for real" until their last 30 games. They have been solid every month and only had one losing month so far this season.
It's just sad that even if they do end up in the playoffs they won't ever be recognized for anything other than being a cinderella team or a team of destiny. As if a team can play cinderella for 162 games, what a joke.
I guess the Rays had to go through this until they were good for multiple years in a row but it still sucks.

i can't believe it was only 5 euro! That is impmressive
Nice work on the coffee cover. Or cozy as we tend to refer to them in my neck of the woods. You are so crafty/talented!
J-Witch (that's your new name FIY), I may leave it and just put some felt in to catch needles and things. and maybe a wee pincushion on one of the lids?
Lisa, I know! I feel like a skilful thrifter for once! Thank you! We say cosy too. I might investigate knitting ones for mugs next!
Red red red!! Definitely paint it red!! And love your new cover for your sewing box too. Looks very nice indeed.
I'm in the leave it as is camp, but do think some lining would be good for catching pins.
I love your floral tools and really like the coffee cosy.
j-witch? you're crazy woman x a wee cheeky red polka dot pin cushion would be awesome :)!
I'll swing the vote back in favour of you painting it red. To go with your revamped red sewing box lid. It would be fab in gloss...
Nice work with the coffee warmer - a happy coffee drinker he'll be!
impressive! i can totally see you pausing every time you pass by your new box and just admiring your handiwork. :)
I love that sewing box so much. So glad you leapt back in to sewing, bet you will have itching sewing fingers every day now!! X
coffee warmer looks amazing- could tell it was too short. Very cool, or hot rather!!
Kate, Thank you! I am sooooo tempted.
Siobhan, the told we are gift. inside the handle of the hammer is ever decreasing screwdrivers! it's ace.
J, polka-dots! :)
TS, A nice dark red high gloss lacquer is what I was thinking, and maybe wee silver handles.
Grace, it sits next to my seat on the sofa. I have a peep over the arm every so often!
Fay, I DO have the itch. I am going to do a bit more sewing today - hot water bottle covers. you'd think unseasonal, but it's cold here.
Cass, thank you! I felt bad that I have a tea cosy, and his coffee is left to go cold!
Excellent purchase there missy! And excellent work on the existing box - and caftiere cozy too.
I loaned my friend my sewing machine and she kept it for a YEAR...and there was a screw missing when it came back, the tension is all to hell and I've got NO idea how to fix it.
There must be some sort of Sewing Machine Tension Fixing video on Youtube. I must check *sweeps out of room*
Ali x
Ali, I swear to something, mine was SO CLOSE to just being lobbed out the window. There must be one on Youtube, you are right. I fear it will say 'persevere and don't throw it out the window' though. Thank you. I am trying to make thing that are at least a bit useful!
Very industrious! Love the sewing box, not sure on painting it, maybe if you left it then made sure the lining was brightly coloured - guessing the lining would be easier to change too if you got bored.
oh that sweet sewing box...glad you got it!! TK xx
Ah I love the box; I could so do with one for all my crafty stuff! I love the idea of painting it and adding new handles plan, as well as lining the dawers. Why not I say!
p.s I have some girlie screwdrivers too!

The years between the late '60s and the mid-'70s were a very special time for the neighborhood of New York known as the Spanish Harlem, or El Barrio. A new generation of American musicians, most of them of Puerto Rican origin, were influenced by rock, psychedelia, funk, disco, r&b and the tropical formats of the Spanish speaking Caribbean. It was an exciting time for music, and El Barrio was fertile ground for the creation of a new sound: salsa, boogaloo and Latin Soul exploded like a shooting star.
Celebrating an era of unparalleled creativity for Latin music, Fania is releasing a box set of 4 CDs exploring the many shades and colors of El Barrio. The discs explore the development of salsa, boogaloo, Latin funk, soul and disco. All include a seductive combination of major hits with rare gems, as well as extensive liner notes written by Fania experts.
The Latin Funk collection showcases the funky experiments of such notable salsa artists as Ray Barretto, Panamanian vocalist Azuquita and supergroup Fania All Stars - complemented by tasty tracks by lesser known bands like Seguida, Café and TNT Boys. Latin Disco is the more genre-specific of the discs, with lushly orchestrated dancefloor scorchers by Orquesta Novel and Louie Ramírez. Bad Boogaloo takes you back to the era of raucous Latin Soul and swanky shing-a-ling: even La Lupe, Joe Cuba and Bobby Valentín experimented with the format. Subtitled Gangsters, Latin Soul & The Birth of Salsa, the fourth disc in the set demonstrates the stylistic richness of the time, from the velvety Latin jazz of Eddie Palmieri's "Chocolate Ice Cream" to Roberto Roena's devastating fusion of salsa with funk on "Que Se Sepa."
An amazing set, ideal for dancers and collectors alike.La época entre el final de los años '60 y la mitad de los '70 fue muy especial para el barrio neoyorquino conocido como Spanish Harlem, o simplemente El Barrio. Una nueva generación de músicos estadounidenses, la mayoría de origen puertorriqueño, asimiló la influencia de formatos como rock, psicodelia, funk, disco, r&b y los estilos bailables del Caribe. Fue una era emocionante para la música y El Barrio era territorio fértil para la creación de un sonido nuevo: la salsa, el boogaloo y el Latin soul estallaron como estrellas fugaces.
Celebrando una etapa de inusitada creatividad dentro de la música latina, Fania presenta una caja de cuatro discos que explora los colores y texturas del Barrio. La colección presenta el desarrollo de la salsa, el boogaloo, y las vertientes latinas de funk, soul y disco. Cada uno de estos discos contiene una mezcla de grandes éxitos con joyas desconocidas, además de extensos comentarios discográficos escritos por especialistas de la Fania.
La antología de Latin Funk ilustra los experimentos en este género de artistas salseros como Ray Barretto, el cantante panameño Azuquita y el supergrupo Fania All Stars - complementados por sabrosos temas de nombres no tan conocidos como Seguida, Café y TNT Boys. Latin Disco es el CD más específico de la antología, con fastuosas orquestaciones discotequeras de la Orquesta Novel y Louie Ramírez, entre otros. Bad Boogaloo brinda un viaje a la era del Latin Soul y la picardía del shing-a-ling: La Lupe, Joe Cuba y Bobby Valentín coquetearon con este formato. Subtitlado Gangsters, Latin Soul & El Nacimiento de la Salsa, el cuarto disco de esta colección demuestra la impresionante riqueza estilística de la época, desde el aterciopelado jazz latino de Eddie Palmieri y su "Chocolate Ice Cream" hasta la devastadora fusión de salsa con funk realizada por Roberto Roena en "Que Se Sepa".
Un lanzamiento imperdible, ideal para bailadores y coleccionistas del género.

The man who reputedly became the most widely recorded conguero in jazz, Ray Barretto was born in Brooklyn in 1929. He decided to become a musician after hearing Chano Pozo playing with Dizzy Gillespie on the groundbreaking Latin jazz track "Manteca." After ousting Mongo Santamaría from Tito Puente's band in 1957, he became one of the most requested musicians of the time, performing with the house bands of the Prestige, Blue Note and Riverside labels-- all at the same time. He branched out as a bandleader in 1961, and the following year became the first Latin artist to score a Billboard Top-20 hit with the song "El Watusi." After signing with the Fania label, he recorded a string of progressive minded albums, culminating with the monster Latin funk hit "Together (Juntos)," an anti-racism anthem sung by Barretto himself.
The son of Afro-Cuban conga hero Mongo Santamaría, Monguito should not be confused with the vocalist of the same who recorded with Johnny Pacheco. He released three killer albums, beginning with the boogaloo heavy Hey Sister and culminating with En Una Nota. The most requested of the three is Blackout, which still sells for about $100 in the collector's market. Performed by Ronnie Marks, "You need Help" is culled from that record.
Born in 1942 in Spanish Harlem, Joe Bataan turned to music after a spell in jail for driving a stolen vehicle. Credited for his contribution in starting the Latin soul craze of the late '60s, he enjoyed a string of hits such as "Ordinary Guy," "Gypsy Woman" and "Subway Joe." The heavy funk track "I'm Satisfied" was included in the 1970 LP Sweet Soul, and also released as a limited edition 45 rpm promo. In 1995, Bataan returned to the music industry after 20 years of working with juveniles in correctional facilities throughout New York. Ten years later, 30 years after his last album had come out, he released an album titled Call My Name.
Café's obscure, self-titled 1974 LP on the Vaya label is something of a mystery. Produced by Ray Barretto, the record fuses Latin funk with rock and salsa. A highlight is the instrumental "Identify Yourself," arranged by bandleaders Daniel Zaremba and Jeff Chaumont.
A psychedelic funk group led by George Espada, Flash and the Dynamics released only one album, which is highly sought out. Released on the Tico label, The New York Sound included the track "Everybody's Got Soul," one of the rawest slices of Latin funk ever heard. After the band split up, Espada worked as a professional wrestler before becoming a Republican district leader in the East Harlem area.
Taken from the 1971 album Chanchullo on the Tico label, Gilberto Cruz's version of James Brown's "Hot Pants (She Got To Use What She Got To Get What She Wants)" is a perfect fusion of Latin and funk. Pressed as a flexidisc in limited quantities, Chanchullo has eluded Latin funk collectors for years. It was Cruz's debut, and it featured Sammy Ayala on vocals, Vincent Prudente on trombone, Junior Vega on trumpet, Andy Vega on vibes, Ray Armando on drums, Teddy Vatapool on bass, and Willie Rodríguez on congas.
No Latin funk compilation would be complete without a Mongo Santamaría track. During the '70s, the percussionist recorded at least one killer funk track per album. "Black Dice" is from Live at Yankee Stadium, which also featured a much sampled drum break on "Coyulde." Ramón 'Mongo' Santamaría was born in 1922 in Havana, Cuba. After moving to the U.S. in the '50s, he played with Tito Puente and scored a national hit with his version of Herbie Hancock's "Watermelon Man." He is also known as the composer of the Latin jazz standard "Afro Blue."
What a treat. Harvey Averne's amazing "Dynamite!," coupled with the previously unreleased "Stablishment" (yes, the spelling is correct.) Averne began his career as an accordionist, learned to play the vibes from Larry Harlow, and then recorded a series of crossover albums for Fania Records in the Latin soul, funk and boogaloo genres. Later, he founded his own label, Coco Record. "Dynamite!" is culled from the 1968 session The Harvey Averne Dozen.
The TNT Boys were Tony Rojas and Tito "Big T" Ramos. They recorded a series of albums for Cotique in the late '60s and early '70s before disbanding and launching reasonably successful solo careers. Tito Ramos had a massive hit with "Big T," from the album Where My Head Is At on Fania Records, whereas Tony Rojas recorded for Rico Records. "I'm Gonna Get To You Yet" is from Símbolos Sexuales / Sex Symbols on Cotique. This 1969 album also featured the "Tighten Up" soundalike "Música Del Alma," as well as the heavy descarga "Jala Jala." It is still regarded as their rarest LP.
The Fania All Stars featured a mixture of bandleaders and musicians from the Fania Records stable in a series of concerts from 1968 onwards. The band's first couple of albums, Live At The Red Garter, Volumes 1 & 2, were slow sellers. Live At The Cheetah, Volumes 1 & 2, on the other hand, became the biggest selling concert albums ever produced by one Latin group. In 1974, Latin Soul Rock bucked the trend with one side recorded live, this time at Yankee Stadium, and the other one devoted to studio recordings. It is from this side that we chose a cover of Edwin Starr's "There You Go."
Vocalist Ralfi Pagán was raised on the lower East side of New York, and was a key part of the '70s salsa movement. He released four albums with Fania, most of which contained ballads such as the Bread cover "Make It With You." "La Vida" is taken from the psychedelic funk album I Can See.
Produced by Cotique label boss George Goldner, the only release by Chollo Rivera and the Latin Soul Drives is a classic slice of Latin soul and boogaloo. This version of James Brown's "I Got The Feeling" has been on DJ want lists for a long time. The record itself sold poorly, even though it was pushed heavily by New York's leading Latin DJ Dick Ricardo Sugar, who wrote the liner notes of the original LP.
Latin rock big band Seguida released two albums with Fania during the '70s-- both produced by Larry Harlow. Entitled Love Is....Seguida, the first one contains "Funky Felix," along with other Latin funk, rock and soul tracks. Released in 1976, On Our Way To Tomorrow embraced the burgeoning New York disco sound and is an underrated gem. After 30 years of inactivity, the band recently reunited to record Seguida III for its own, independent label.
Legendary timbalero Jimmy Sabater was featured on what is considered by many to be the first salsa record ever: Joe Cuba's Stepping Out, from 1962. He was born in New York to Puerto Rican parents and grew up in the same neighborhood as Tito Puente and Willie Bobo. Sabater was an essential part of the Joe Cuba group until 1979-- he even wrote the smash "Bang Bang." From the 1970 Tico LP El Hijo De Teresa, we chose the heavy funk instrumental "Kool It." Sabater is still active in music, currently performing with the Spanish Harlem Orchestra.
Luis Camilo Argumédez Rodríguez was born in Panama and nicknamed Azuquita (Little Sugar) at the beginning of his career, his voice is as sweet as sugar. He lived in Puerto Rico and trained with legendary sonero Ismael Rivera before moving to New York, where he became a key member of the Fania Records family. Culled from the 1975 album Pura Salsa on the Vaya label, "Guajiro Bacán" is a slow burning funk number. The LP was produced by Bobby Marín and featured Kako, Mauricio Smith, Louie Ramírez, Adalberto Santiago, Jimmy Sabater, Steve Berrios, and Joe Beck.

Latin disco was the logical step forward following the emergence of Latin funk, which had evolved from boogaloo and Latin Soul. Throughout the '70s, the musicians and DJs who grew up in New York were exposed to a variety of influences. When the disco era reached its apex, it was inevitable that the Latin scene would be influenced by it. The Fania label was at the forefront of this hybrid, with musicians such as Tito Puente, Louie Ramírez and Joe Bataan leading the way. El Barrio: Latin Disco includes anthems by the movement's heavy hitters, as well as lesser known gems and rare grooves.
Formed in 1976 by Cuban güiro player Felipe Martínez, and featuring the vocals of Hansel Martínez & Raúl Alfonso (who would later become the famous duo of Hansel & Raúl), Charanga 76 is known mostly for its Latin versions of disco hits. Listening to their unique take on McFadden & Whitehead's "Ain't No Stopping Us Now" and Chic's "My Forbidden Lover" was a real eye opener for me back in the '80s. It is only fitting that the opening track of this compilation would be the Latin disco gem "Good Times."
Born to Puerto Rican parents in the heart of El Barrio (Spanish Harlem) between 112th Street, 5th & Madison Avenue, Jimmy Sabater was taught percussion by Willie Bobo and Tito Puente. He helped form the Joe Cuba Sextet in 1954. Even though it was named after Gilberto Calderón - or Joe Cuba, as he was known in the music world - the group was very much a unit. It was hastily named just before a show by Catalino Rolón, a promoter at the legendary Palladium ballroom, when he was told that the band had still to be named. Jimmy Sabater was the combo's timbalero. In 1962, he was offered the chance to sing the track "To Be With You," because he had a better English accent than the band's lead vocalist, one José 'Cheo' Feliciano. Sabater stayed with Cuba for 23 years, working also with such luminaries as Eddie Palmieri, Tito Puente, Johnny Pacheco and Tito Rodríguez. This heavy disco version of "To Be With You" was produced by Bobby Marín and released in 1976. It features a great break around the first third of the track, becoming a staple for disco and hip hop DJs all over the world.
Led by Afro-Cuban pianist Willie Ellis, Orquesta Típica Novel was formed in New York City during the '60s, performing mostly as a charanga and boogaloo group. Its debut album, Do the Boogaloo, came out in 1967 on the Fonseca label. The orchestra released a series of records with TR, before signing with Fania in the mid '70s and shortening its name to Orquesta Novel. Notable members have included Eddie Drennon, Ray Maldonado (the brother of Ricardo Ray), Alfredo 'Chocolate' Armenteros, Jimmy Bosch, Mauricio Smith, Néstor Torres, and Louie Ramírez. The 1980 session Novel Invites You To A Novel Experience was devoted entirely to the disco sound. A cover of "My Cherie Amour" on this album has been used by the likes of Dimitri from Paris and other electronica heavyweights. Here, we decided to include a less obvious choice - the Eddie Drennon composition "Dance Dance Dance," which will work up a storm in any dancefloor.
Formed from the ashes of two high school bands from the South Bronx - Latin Soul Inc. and Devoshun - Seguida was brought together by Randy Ortiz, a local arranger and rock bassist. He led the band together with percussionist Angel Nater Jr. and guitarist Louie Pérez. Support slots with Willie Colón, Ray Barretto and Larry Harlow led to a deal with Fania Records. Seguida's critically acclaimed debut, Love is..., was released in 1974 and contained the crossover hit "Mambo Rock." The song would become the theme tune to Izzy Sanabria's Salsa television show, which featured Seguida as the house band. After touring with Sly & the Family Stone, War and Crown Heights Affair, the band embraced the emerging disco sound on its sophomore effort, On Our Way To Tomorrow. We've picked the album's title track - a killer song. Seguida has recently reformed, releasing Seguida III on its own label.
The lineup of LTG Exchange included Bruce Slade (congas, vocals), Melvyn Barton (bass, vocals), Walter Chiles (keyboards, vocals), Víctor Santos (drums, vocals), and Kevin Beverley (Guitar). The group is known for its two hits: "Corazón," a cover of the Carole King standard, and the sublime "Waterbed." Originally released by Fania Records in 1974, it was later extended at Bell Sound Studios, NYC, for a 12" release on Disco International. This limited edition is now a highly prized collector's item, selling for large amounts of money on internet auction sites.
Milton Hamilton was a music teacher at the Third Street Music School Settlement, confusingly located on East 11th Street, New York, when he formed Yambú with colleague Ramón Rodríguez. Their self-titled 1975 debut was a heady mix of Latin, soul, jazz, rock and disco - enjoying a hit with a "hustle" version of Bobby Hebb's "Sunny." This record is sought after by beat junkies for the massive break on "Hippopotamus." It was also a groundbreaking part of the jazz-dance scene with DJ Bob Jones making "A New Thing" one of his biggest dancefloor tunes. In 1976, Milton formed his solo group, Milton Hamilton Crystalized. He released the great Disco Madness album, featuring "My Love Supreme" and covers of "Poinciana" and "Theme from Mahoghany." "My Love Supreme" was released on 7" format and immediately hit the Billboard disco charts. There is also an extremely rare promo 12" DJ Copy with the full 5.10 minutes version of the tune.
Legendary bandleader, percussionist, pianist, composer, arranger and producer Louie Ramírez barely needs an introduction for anyone with even the slightest interest in Latin music - he is a living legend. During the '50s, he played with Joe Loco, joining the Joe Cuba group the following decade. Louie was the arranger and timbalero on the classic Jazz Espagnole album by Sabú Martínez. He was co-leader of the Alegre All Stars with Charlie Palmieri, Kako and Al Santiago - as well as staff producer and arranger with the Fania group of labels, and president of Alegre Records throughout the '70s and '80s. Louie caught the disco bug and recorded a great album titled A Different Shade of Black. It was released in 1976 on Cotique. The album featured contributions from Bernard Purdie, Cornell Dupree, Johnny Rodríguez, Randy Ortiz, Marty Sheller, and Sonny Bravo, and it is famed among record collectors for the funky "Do It Any Way You Wanna." Here, we have included the smooth disco grooves of "Bad Luck" and "Salsa."
Taken from the 1974 Tico album Tito Unlimited, "Watu Wasuri" was one of the earliest disco flavored records to emerge from New York. Tito played virtually all of the instruments on this recording - the only other credit went to producer Joe Cain. He performed vibes, piano, electric piano, mellotron, tambourine, marimbas, organ, tympany, cowbells and assorted percussion. Born in the Bronx to Puerto Rican parents in 1923, Puente formed The Piccadilly Boys in 1948 and spearheaded the '50s mambo craze, which reached an apex in 1956 with his classic LP Dancemania. Puente would record over 100 albums, enjoying his biggest hit with Santana's ubiquitous version of his composition "Oye Como Va." Sadly, he passed away in 2000.
The sole album that W.R.L.C. released on the Fania imprint came out in 1975, featuring soft rock and disco versions of classic Fania songs: Willie Colón's "Che Che Colé" and "Jazzy," and Johnny Pacheco's "Acuyeyé." The disco version of Joe Bataan's "Johnny's No Good" is an overlooked guitar groover. The band featured Slim Pezin (guitar), Lucien Dobat (drums), Mamhoud Houari (sax), Patrick Bourboin (flute), Pierre Honoré (bass) and Michel Deverc (violin).
Made at a time when a growing number of Dominicans were migrating to New York, this collaboration between Latin legend Larry Harlow and the Dominican Republic's Fausto Rey was probably geared towards that market. The album is largely forgettable, with the exception of a disco version of "Devil Woman" - made famous in the UK by Cliff Richard. The track's killer breakdowns would fit in nicely on any dancefloor today.
Taken from the unreleased LP Bataan in San Frantasia, "Call Me" is a cool disco inspired number. It can also be found as the b-side of the "Latin Soul Square Dance" 45 rpm single. Born in Spanish Harlem in 1942, Bataan is credited as a Latin Soul pioneer - fusing Afro-Cuban rhythms with R&B, he came to prominence in the mid '60s with the hits "Gypsy Woman" and "Ordinary Guy." In the '70s, he recorded a series of excellent albums for Fania, finding the time to produce artists on the Ghetto label and co-found the innovative SalSoul label. It was with SalSoul that he enjoyed a top-10 European hit with the crossover rap-disco track "Rap-o Clap-o." After spending 20 years counseling juvenile delinquents, he returned to the music scene with a new album, and continues touring to this day.
Of the 15 albums that Lou Pérez recorded under his own name, De Todo un Poco is by far the most famous one. Why? Simply because the title track was used in the movie Dirty Dancing. Sad but true. Also included on this album was the uptempo disco bomb "Afro Hustle." Recorded in 1977, it featured Cuban pianist Ricardo 'Eddy' Martínez, Cuban conguero Cándido, and other notable players.
Joe Cuba formed his group in 1954 and experienced instant success using English lyrics over Latin beats. A pioneer of the boogaloo sound with the hit single "Bang Bang," he went on to record a number of albums for various Fania related labels. Cocinando La Salsa was the first LP that Cuba recorded for Tico after it had been taken over by Fania co-founder Masucci. He asked Joe to make "a blockbuster salsa album" - and Cuba delivered on all fronts, including stunning tracks like "Ataca de Nuevo" and "Quinteto Sabroso." The track included on this compilation has a boogaloo/disco feel, featuring the drumming of Alphonse Mouzon. Other notable musicians include Sonny Bravo, Jimmy Sabater and Louie Ramírez.

El Bestial Sonido is the best album in the catalogue of music by Ricardo Ray and Bobby Cruz. It is a must-have for fans of Los Durísimos. Most would agree that in its early New York days, the orchestra saw some of the finest musicians of salsa and jazz. Trumpeters Adolphus Doc Cheatham and Pedro Chapparo, and timbal player Mike Collazo are excellent examples. What is truly indisputable is that the most astounding lineup of the Richie Ray Orchestra was the very one that recorded "El Bestial Sonido" in 1971, confirming what everybody already knew: the best instrumentalists in the history of salsa have been Puerto Rican. El Bestial Sonido de Ricardo Ray & Bobby Cruz is a classic because of the orchestra's masterful and irresistible interpretations, Bobby Cruz and Miki Vimari's vocals, and the band's successful repertoire, which was certainly one of the most stimulating and perfectly balanced of all time. It was musical success that consecrated Richie as the most multifaceted pianist, arranger, composer, and orchestra director of his genre. You only need to hear the first bar of Sonido Bestial to appreciate Richie's savvy in creating a tapestry of rhythms combining the jala-jala, guaguancó, jazz, and classical music in a solo that evokes the influences of formal European music, with ingenious variations on the melodies of Stravinsky and Bach. Aside from achieving cultural transcendence by integrating distant musical forms, El Bestial Sonido is an album with unquestionable sociological value. In 1971, the country was tormented by the boricua blood being spilled throughout Vietnamese jungles in a conflict that enshrouded hundreds of Puerto Rican families in grief and polarized the country on the question of whether to support the United States in the Vietnam War. Richie Ray and Bobby Cruz strived to console their boricua brothers with the song "Guaguancó Triste" by Rubén Blades. This is a song of hope, with an exceptional arrangement that combines the guaguancó, classical music, the boogaloo, the bomba, and the jala-jala. Even today, the lyrics strike a chord in the hearts and minds of the boricua people: Para ti traigo mi guaguancó Triste es su canto sabor a llanto y a soledad. Puedo oír ecos de un pregonar que hablan de penas y de esperanzas lloran por la tierra mía porque se lleven contentos... At a time when many criticized the superficiality of salsa, Richie and Bobby proved with Blades' composition that they could use music to make people dance – or to make them reflect on life. Another great example is the band's version of a ballad with hints of soul, blues, and bolero: "Fire and Rain" by James Taylor. Interestingly, this is one of the first songs in the band's repertoire that alludes to God, the Supreme Being, to whom they would dedicate their talents officially in 1976, beginning with the album Rican/Struction Señor asómate y contempla mi afán Tendrás que ayudarme a otro día afrontar Sólo en mis sueños tengo tranquilidad Es un martirio volver a despertar... However, like other great musicians of the time, Richie and Bobby also paid homage to yoruba deities on countless occasions and, prior to their transformation, they paid tribute to the Saint with Pablito El Indio Rosario's guaguancó number "Cha cha huele Changó," at a time when musicians were trying to survive in an atmosphere of jealousy, lies, and hypocrisy. The contributions from Mañengue Hidalgo on the congas, Manolito González on the bongo and hand bell, and Charlie on the timbal are extraordinary. With El Bestial Sonido, Richie and Bobby also stepped to the forefront by being the first to adapt romantic ballads to the genre. One example is Joan Manuel Serrat's popular song "Señora," which the band performed without montuno or a refrain. In the band's version, Bobby, a singer influenced by Rafael Chivirico Dávila, reaffirmed –as he did in "Fire and Rain"– that he could shine in other genres. His duet with Miki Vimari in the bolero version of the immortal tango number "Volver" by Carlos Gardel and Alfredo Lepera confirms this. Bobby's countermelody is exquisite, and in the first few bars of both "Volver" and "La Vimari," Miki –who had previously collaborated with the band on the albums In Orbit and El Diferente– captures a sensual bossanova that leads into a beautiful son. After Richie's experiments with female vocalists such as Nydia Caro and Carmen Soto, it was clear that Miki was the singer this orchestra had been looking for. Thirty-five years after its original release, El Bestial Sonido de Richie Ray & Bobby Cruz is a must-have, an album worthy of the attention of music lovers around the world. Most importantly, it is an album radio stations should play for younger generations to enjoy.

Engineer: Pedrito Mixed by: Fred Weinberg Original Cover Photo: Maurice Seymour Original Cover design: Izzy Sanabria Written by Jaime Torres Torres "El Bestial Sonido" es el mejor disco de la trayectoria de Ricardo Ray & Bobby Cruz. Es un album obligado para los fanáticos de Los Durísimos. Nadie duda que durante sus primeros años de trayectoria en Nueva York por la orquesta de Richie Ray desfilaron los mejores músicos de la salsa y el jazz. Los trompetistas Adolphus Doc Cheatham y Pedro Chaparro, junto al timbalero Mike Collazo, son buenos ejemplos. Lo que sí resulta indiscutible es que la versión más aplastante de la orquesta de Richie Ray fue precisamente la que grabó "El Bestial Sonido" en 1971, confirmando –como se sabe- que los instrumentistas de mayor virtuosismo en la historia de salsa han sido puertorriqueños. El Bestial Sonido de Ricardo Ray & Bobby Cruz es un clásico por la magistral e irresistible interpretación colectiva de la orquesta, por las vocalizaciones de los cantantes Bobby Cruz y Miki Vimari y por su exitoso repertorio, ciertamente uno de los más excitantes y mejor balanceados de todos los tiempos. Fue el suceso musical que consagró a Richie como el pianista, arreglista, compositor y director de orquesta más polifacético de su género. Baste escuchar el primer corte "Sonido bestial" para apreciar la sapiencia con que Ricardo combina, como una acuarela de ritmos, los patrones del jala-jala, el guaguancó, el jazz y la música clásica, con un solo que evoca las influencias del repertorio formal europeo, con variaciones muy ingeniosas de las melodías de Stravinsky y Bach. Aparte de su trascendencia cultural al integrar formas musicales distanciadas hasta entonces, El Bestial Sonido es un disco de un valor sociológico incuestionable. En pleno 1971 el pueblo era atormentado por la sangre boricua derramada en las selvas vietnamitas en un conflicto que cubrió con el manto del luto a cientos de familias puertorriqueñas y polarizó al país en torno a la discusión de si debía favorecer o desfavorecer la guerra de Estados Unidos contra Vietnam. Richie Ray y Bobby Cruz intentaron consolar a sus hermanos boricuas con la composición "Guaguancó triste" de Rubén Blades. Un canto de esperanza, en un arreglo excepcional que combina el guaguancó, la música clásica, el boogaloo, la bomba y el jala jala, cuya letra hoy resuena fuerte en la conciencia boricua. Para ti traigo mi guaguancó. Triste es su canto sabor a llanto y a soledad. Puedo oír ecos de un pregonar que hablan de penas y de esperanzas lloran por la tierra mía porque se lleven contentos... En una época en que muchos criticaron la salsa por su pobre contenido, Richie & Bobby demostraron con la canción de Blades que se podía tocar para bailar y para reflexionar sobre la vida. Otro buen ejemplo es la versión de la balada con matices del soul, el blues y el bolero "Fire & Rain" de James Taylor, curiosamente una de las primeras canciones de su repertorio en que aluden a Dios, el Ser Supremo al que a partir de 1976, ya de manera oficial, consagrarían sus talentos con el lanzamiento del disco "Reconstrucción". Señor asómate y contempla mi afán Tendrás que ayudarme a otro día afrontar Sólo en mis sueños tengo tranquilidad Es un martirio volver a despertar... Sin embargo, Richie & Bobby, como otros grandes músicos de la época, también le cantaron a las deidades yorubas en una decena de ocasiones y, previo a su tranformación, con el guaguancó "Cha cha huele Changó" de Pablito El Indio Rosario le rindieron honor al Santo en un tiempo en que los músicos intentaban sobrevivir en un ambiente de mucha envidia, mentira e hipocresía. La ejecución percusiva de Mañengue Hidalgo en las congas, Manolito González en el bongó y la campana y de Charlie en el timbal es extraordinaria. Con El Bestial Sonido Richie & Bobby también marcharon a la vanguardia al ser los primeros que adaptaron a su género éxitos de la balada romántica, como la popular "Señora" de Joan Manuel Serrat, una versión sin montuno y estribillo donde Bobby, un cantante que se desarrolló influenciado por Rafael Chivirico Dávila, reconfirma –como lo demostró en "Fire & Rain"- que posee el sentimiento y el fraseo para brillar en otros géneros. Su dúo con Miki Vimari en la versión bolerística del inmortal tango "Volver" de Carlos Gardel y Alfredo Lepera así lo sustenta. La segunda voz de Bobby es exquisita y Miki, quien ya había colaborado en los discos In Orbit y El diferente, demuestra no sólo en "Volver" sino en "La Vimari", en sus primeros compases una sensual bossa nova que desemboca en un sabroso son, que después de los experimentos de Richie con féminas como Nydia Caro y Carmen Soto, era la cantante y corista que necesitaba la orquesta. 35 años después de su lanzamiento, pues, El Bestial Sonido de Richie Ray & Bobby Cruz es un disco obligado digno de la atención de los melómanos del mundo. Y lo más importante, un álbum merecedor de la difusión de los medios radiales para el provecho de las nuevas generaciones.

Nieatra M.PhiladelphiaHairBlackCurly HairThick or Coarse HairOn My Top 2 List!!!Hi everyone. I live in Philly and I am of African-American descent. I have naturally kinky hair that I straighten every 1-2 weeks. I love this iron. I have owned many flat irons of many brands and materials and titanium plates are by far the best. Babyliss was tops on my list until I found this Denman. I love the titanium plates (of course), it's matte finish, it's digital display, and especially the temperature control. Having the power to change the temperature by 5 degrees Celcius gives me the option to better select the temperature that will give me the smoothest, shiniest strands without damaging my hair with too much heat. I generally keep my flat iron at 190-195 degrees Celcius. With the help of It's a 10! Miracle leave-in product and the Sedu anti-frizz polishing treatment and those titanium plates, my hair will stay straight until my next shampoo. Yes it's true that the plates don't fully close when you press them together lightly. All you'd have to do is press them together a little more and I believe that's for the purpose of creating tension for better straightening results. I don't get fatigued at all using this iron. The one thing that annoys me about this iron is the auto shut-off. If Denman made the auto shut-off activate after 30 min of inactivity or if the iron made a noise when it was shutting off, it would get five stars. I've learned to get around this by checking the iron every so often (it takes me two hours, alone, to flat iron my hair.) Despite this, I'd buy this iron again, flaw and all. I highly recommend this iron.2 out of 2 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

AffyHairBlondeColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairChemically Treated HairHorrible. !A flat iron that doesn't close?! Let me explain.
To start this iron is beautiful..I had really high hopes since I have seen it in videos and a few magazines. When the flat iron finally arrived I was sooo excited to try it. It has temp. control, smooth titanium plates, and then the plates don't touch? I brought this to my hair and began the testing process and it pulled out little pieces of my hair and to get the iron to close all the way I felt like I was squeezing an extremely tough stress ball???! For a flat iron this expensive.. and all the reviews I have found I expected it to at least be better than my chi. Yep I sent it back.. Do not order this please. It is truly a waste of money. I am ordering the silicone tech 450 and I hope I love it. Sooo as far as the Denman flat iron goes it's a waste!

Sophia R.USAThere Is No Other Iron Like The Denman Titaniumpro - It Is The Best On The Market.Another great product from Denman!
I have this iron and it is the best iron I have ever used. I have used the GHD before which is a great iron and I thought I could never be converted but since using the Denman TitaniumPro I will never go back to my GHD.
It is faster and smoother than any iron I have ever used.
The fact that it is dual voltage is also a big plus because I travel a lot with work and would be lost without this styling tool.
It is definitely worth the price - I would pay $300 over and over again for this but the fact that it is on sale on this website I definitely wouldn't hesitate to buy it.
I also use Denman Brushes, I love the brand. Denman produce products that will never let you down and this one is no exception.
Thank you Denman for saving the day once again.
Keep developing great new products!

East Carbon Police Chief Sam Leonard is apprehensive that the promotion of the new Sunnyside police department is coming at the expense of the ECPD.
Sunnyside recently added their own police department to avoid paying the increase in cost that East Carbon wanted to charge to have their police cover the small town.
Now that the two towns are discussing consolidation, information has gone out to Sunnyside residents that Leonard feels is disparaging to the ECPD .
In a fact sheet on consolidation that was disbursed throughout the area, Sunnyside officials also addressed reasons behind the addition of a separate police force.
Leonard voiced his concerns about the accuracy of the distributed information at Tuesday night's Sunnyside City Council meeting.
"I believe starting a police department was more politically motivated than it was for the benefit of the citizens," Leonard commented.
Leonard said he was in favor of Sunnyside getting their own police force because then the community would stop saying the ECPD didn't do anything. However, he said that the town seems to be making unfair comparisons between the two departments.
Leonard spoke to those gathered in the chambers and the council about such issues as ambulance service, animal control, emergency response, the DARE program, the number of officers needed to make a police force available 24 hours a day and the billing process of assisting other officers in another jurisdiction.
He tried to dispel any sentiments in the fact sheet that East Carbon had not been responding to many calls that are coming into dispatch.
Leonard also argued the assertion that has been made that SPD is available 24 hours a day.
He said dispatch has released statistics that East Carbon is still assisting in a high number of Sunnyside calls.
According to Leonard, 20 Sunnyside priority calls were answered by East Carbon's officers because Sunnyside manpower was not available. An additional 61 calls were put on hold until Sunnyside officers could make it to the scene.
Leonard also voiced concern that the DARE program may suffer as a result of the addition of a second department.
According to Leonard, East Carbon has facilitated a DARE program for 13 years. And East Carbon was the first department to offer it in Carbon or Emery County. He is worried DARE could fall between the cracks.
"I hate to see our schools go without it," he stated.
However, the long-term fracture that has prevailed in the two towns does not seem to enter into police work from Leonard's point of view.
"You've got to understand when there's a political rift in cities, that's not going to affect the policeman," Leonard noted.
The council argued that the choice to add a police department was not driven by politics and that the SPD is currently working out the kinks of being a new force.
"When we started this police department we knew it was not going to be perfect," Councilwoman Carol Johnson stated. "There are a lot of things we are working on."
In the end, Leonard just requested that lines not be drawn between the two departments.
"Compliment your guys. I think you should praise your police department," Leonard said in closing. "But I'd appreciate it in the future if you don't make comparisons."
In related council business, Sunnyside approved the employment application of a sixth police officer for the force, Clinton Snow.
A report from Councilman Doug Parsons highlighted the issue of consolidation that is being considered between East Carbon and Sunnyside.
Parsons said discussions are still underway and another meeting would be taking place the evening of Nov. 19.

As one of the oldest bachelor's-level programs in the nation, the Department of Social Work offers the Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) degree. In 1980, Xavier University acquired Edgecliff College, a liberal arts college in Cincinnati supported by the Sisters of Mercy, which included a social work program. The Social Work Department at Xavier was established from that program and was initially accredited by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) in 1981. Reaffirmation of accreditation occurred in 1987, 1994, 2002, and again in 2010. The department is one of the 10 located in the College of Social Sciences, Health, and Education.
It is important to note that the social work program at Xavier is accredited, which means it meets all the standards of the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE). The implications of accreditation are important and far reaching, both for licensure and graduate school. As part of implementation and monitoring of a new 2012 standard from the Commission on Accreditation, all programs accredited by CSWE were asked to begin posting program assessment findings.
All 50 states regulate social work practice independently with licensing laws and in many you cannot work as a social worker unless you are licensed. One of the licensing requirements usually includes a Bachelor's degree from an accredited program such as Xavier's. In some states, you must have a MSW to be licensed.
The Ohio Counselor, Social Worker and Marriage and Family Therapy Board has passed a licensing law such that students who have a B.S.W. are eligible to take the social worker exam and practice in the state of Ohio as a social worker. Additionally, graduates of accredited programs may receive advanced standing in social work graduate programs. Advanced standing means that a student can finish an MSW degree in one year instead of two.

The post from last week talked about what NFG was and tried to explain how it was a good feature for parrot to have. Today I'll be slightly more concrete and talk a bit about how NFG fits inside the parrot string structure. There's other parts of parrot that will need hacking on, but this time I want to limit myself to the the two bottommost pointers in the STRING structure definition and the concepts behind them.
Parrot is a virtual machine designed to efficiently compile and execute bytecode for dynamic languages. Parrot currently hosts a variety of language implementations in various stages of completion, including Tcl, Javascript, Ruby, Lua, Scheme, PHP, Python, Perl 6, APL, and a .NET bytecode translator. Parrot is not about parrots, though we are rather fond of them for obvious reasons.

It's clear that the mini has made its mark on the collective celebrity consciousness. Whether they're walking down the red carpet or up to the patio at Hyde, there are lots o' legs everywhere. So leave it to some of the most fashion-forward faces-like Kate Moss-to start throwing long, long skirts and dresses back in the mix.
Now, not any ankle-grazing item will do. We certainly would not like to encourage anyone to return to wearing peasant skirts- that trend tortured us v e r y s l o w l y. Today's maxi-length should be simple; no ruffles or fussy layers. While not necessary, we do prefer a monochromatic look as it is most flattering to all body types.
One example of the "great lengths" we adore comes from the Kate Moss for Topshop collection. Seen here, the long dress has a satin skirt and fitted waistcoat top ($148.50, topshop.com). The juxtaposition of the modesty of the skirt and structured, yet bare, top make for a subtle sexiness that never screams, "Trying too hard!"
