ALEXANDER O`NEAL: Life swap!
Eight sell-out nights at Wembley Arena. A multi-Platinum album (`Hearsay`) which remained on the British chart for two years. A ground breaking Top Three music video... Yes, there's no question that, back in 1988, in terms of the UK soul market, Mississippi-born, Minneapolis-based Alexander O'Neal was just about as big as you could get.
Fast-forward to the mid-Nineties, however, and the picture was nowhere near as bright. With O'Neal - having now split from his big-name producer/writer mentors Jam & Lewis - proving one of the major casualties of the decade's ever-increasing obsession with its more youth-oriented hip hop/R&B movement. A scenario which sadly, by the end of the decade, saw the once-15-million-selling global soul superstar without a record deal and his profile hit an all-time low.
Nevertheless, as the old saying goes, what goes around comes back around. And indeed the past couple of years have seen 54-year-old Alexander's public profile (at least in the UK) becoming remarkably revitalised - initially through high-profile television appearances on such prime-time mainstream programmes as BBC 1's 'Just The Two Of Us' and 'The Weakest Link". Meanwhile, 2008 alone has already seen an extensive nationwide tour accompanied by his first studio album in over five years. Featuring Alex's brand-new interpretations of popular love songs (including a couple of his best-known hits - 'Saturday Love' and 'If You Were Here Tonight'), 'Alex Loves…' -released through EMI - additionally represents O'Neal's first major label release in 11 years! Its choice of songs - ranging from pop evergreens like Take That's 'A Million Love Songs' and Elton John's 'Your Song'; to soul classics like Percy Sledge's 'When A Man Loves A Woman' and Barry White's 'You're The First, The Last, My Everything - cleverly showcases Aleander's adaptability to different genres.
Meanwhile, this month sees the O'Neal TV profile rising once more via his starring role - alongside eccentric wine critic Jilly Goolden - in Channel 4's top-rated spouse-exchange series 'Celebrity Wife Swap'.
In the midst of the filming of which, a personable, black-leather-coated Alex calls at the 'B&S' offices (complete with Jilly in tow!) for an in-depth on-camera discussion with Pete Lewis about his latest LP; plus his occasionally-turbulent, yet trailblazing career. Which ultimately peaked with three Jam & Lewis-produced classic sets - 1985's 'Alexander O'Neal''; 1987's 'Hearsay" (which spawned the UK Top Five smash 'Criticise"); and 1991's 'All True Man'.
His latest album 'Alex Loves…'
"It came about through one of the guys who used to work in my band - Nat Augustin, who approached me about doing a covers album for EMI. And, as I'd never done an album of other people's material before, I felt it was a great opportunity to do some of the great songs that I'd heard and have a lotta respect for. So we started off with about 35 to 40 songs, and then we scaled it down. What I particularly didn't want was to do karaoke versions of the originals verbatim - I did wanna put an Alexander O'Neal touch on everything that I did. So overall I just thought it was just a great opportunity, because I do wanna keep putting as much stuff into my legacy as I possibly can. You know, I always knew I'd get a deal with a major again. I just didn't realise it would take 11 years!"
Covering songs from several different genres
"Well, I like to let people know that you can't just stereotype me to R&B music, because I like all kinds. I like folk; I like country; I like bluegrass… To me, if it's a great song, it's a great SONG. So this album was an opportunity for me to show my fans that, while I am OF COURSE most comfortable and at home doing R&B, I do consider myself a universal singer. For example, my favourite cover on the album is Take That's 'A Million Love Songs', which to me is a great, timeless song. To where I actually now include it in my live shows and, every time I do it, it's received well. Like the other night we did a show up in Highgate, and it got me a standing ovation!"
With the album being a UK project, the importance of his British audience
"One of the things that's so important to me about my UK fans is their loyalty. While in America you're only as big as your last record, my British fans have been there for me through ups, downs - regardless of WHAT the situation has been. Also I like the fact that they grow up with you, they grow older with you, and they don't stop coming to your shows. You know, one thing I love about the British people PERIOD is they don't give up their social life. Whereas in America, when you reach a certain age, you trade all that in for a remote control and a couch! And the main reason I think the British fans have kept coming to my shows for over 20 years is down to my CONSISTENCY. When they come to see me they know they're gonna get my heart and soul. I've never ever compromised my band, or my sound, for money or anything else. And, in addition to the longstanding fans, there's also a lotta NEW ones coming along today too. You know, because there's a lotta baby-boomers that grew up on Alexander O'Neal, I'm now seeing people bringing mothers, I'm seeing older people, middle-aged people, young people... ALL age groups. And to be recognised as 'the R&B singer in their hearts' for me is an absolute honour."
His early upbringing in Natchez, Mississippi
"My morals and values were formed long before I had a record deal. So, when stardom came, I was never astounded or taken aback by it. With my Mississippi upbringing being so down-to-earth, that's pretty much the type of person I've always tried to present myself as. I'm a people's person. I'm not the type of artist that's unapproachable and walks around with a bunch of bodyguards. But yeah, I guess we grew up in a poor environment, with my mother head of a household of six kids. But, at the same time, I don't ever remember going to bed hungry. Because one thing about growing up in Mississippi is the way the families all network. Whatever ONE person don't have, they can always get from someone ELSE in the family, because there's a lot of sharing going around. And, though never having a father - he died while my mother was pregnant with me - meant I did grow up kinda sad at times, his side of the family pretty much took on his role by teaching me to express love as a man and that kinda stuff. And it was actually through playing American football that I started really finding myself. I actually ended up going to college on an athletic football scholarship."
How Alex ended up in Minneapolis
"After a year I quit football, because I just wasn't prepared for college from an ACADEMIC point of view. Affirmative action hadn't really taken place at that time in America. So I came up in an era where school-wise they tended to just push you through, and I had no idea how to study. I basically had no work ethic. So from there I went all around Mississippi doing different jobs - working in a shipyard down on the Gulf Coast, and just endless other jobs - before I ended up just hanging around on the corner doing nothing, Then one day - it was like nine in the morning and I was the only one on the corner - an older relative was getting ready for work, and he was like 'Boy, I want you to get off that corner! You're going up to Chicago where you're gonna MAKE somethin' of yourself! You come from too good a family to be standing around like that!'... So that AFFECTED me. And, when my uncle came home for Christmas, I made that move from Mississippi to Chicago. But then, when I got to Chicago, I found myself in the urban ghetto! So I was like 'This can't be my destiny! I didn't come all the way from Mississippi to be working in a factory and get killed in Westside Chicago!'! So consequently one morning I called my cousin up in Minneapolis, and by nine o'clock that night I was on the bus! And it was then - after moving to Minneapolis - that my musical career really took off."
The early years of Alex's singing career
"Minneapolis is probably the most interracial city in The United States. So that was a different thing for me to adapt to. We're talking 1974/75, and back then it was a tough time for black musicians in Minneapolis. Simply because the black community itself there was so small. But then, when Prince finally cracked it open, it kinda gave us all a little more incentive to say 'OK, it can be done! You can come out of this area and be successful. You don't have to be from New York or LA'. And that's when it all started getting serious. I basically made up my mind that for me it was gonna be music or nothing. I was like 'I'm gonna put 10 years into this music industry. And, if it don't work out in 10 years, I'm going to truck-driving school in Wisconsin!`! So I put my own band together - The Black Market Band. And at first we were so poor I used to sing through the bass amp! But, though it was a rough time, it was a FUN time. Then next I released a local record called 'Playroom'. Which kinda pulled me to another level. I became a local star. And that in turn definitely prepared me for the international stardom, when it finally came."
His short-lived time in Prince's then-budding late-Seventies Minneapolis supergroup Flyte Tyme (members also included Jam & Lewis and Morris Day)
"Flyte Tyme was a wonderful band, and I felt we were on our way to getting a national deal. You know, I'd been picked to be the lead singer in a group owned by Prince; we'd started recording at Prince's house… But then I got kicked out the band before I got kicked IN! Some people said it was because I was too black in skin pigmentation. But I still think it was because I was opinionated. I'd started showing I could think and started asking questions about the financial arrangements. But, you know, to be kicked out was heart-breaking. And the main thing I couldn't respect about it was that Prince hadn't been man enough to tell me. Because, all of a sudden, Flyte Tyme started rehearsing behind my back so they could become `The Time` without me! And all this time we were still doing gigs together! You know, they'd suddenly start mixing these new songs into the set and I'd be like 'Where's THIS coming from?'! And the only one out of all of them with the balls to tell me what was happening was Terry Lewis! But, though when I got the news I was really hurt, a lotta times good things come out of a bad situation. And that was just fuel for the fire for me! Because I felt that, if I was good enough to even be CONSIDERED for a group by Prince, then I must be good enough for the music industry! And, when Jimmy (Jam) and Terry (Lewis) came home from LA one summer night - after THEY'D got kicked outta The Time by Prince - they came into this club I was performing at in downtown Minneapolis and were like 'Alex, when we get our plans off the ground we're gonna get you a record deal'. And that's exactly what they DID!"
Alex`s multi-million-selling Platinum years (1985-1992) as a solo artist produced by Jam & Lewis
"It was one of the best experiences in my LIFE! Man, what a ride! And one of the advantages we had was that we - as the Flyte Tyme family - always took care of each other. When we did interviews, we always talked about each other; we always kept each other in the mix. Which I think contributed to Jam & Lewis becoming STAR producers. You know, a lotta times producers are in the background and not out there in the public eye. But, by just constantly talking about each other, we contributed to each other's stardom."
How the new-found dominance of hip hop/R&B in the Nineties affected his popularity
"The Nineties period definitely did affect me. You know, it's a shame when record companies won't let you sell records to your own fans. I don't know why, but for some reason they just started looking for the one-hit wonders that were in and out of the industry in a flash. I mean, I was with Sony for six years straight. And you think, as an artist when you're up on that level, that everything's an automatic and it's gonna be like that FOREVER. But it's really NOT! The lights will change, and they'll show you that THINGS will change. And what do you DO when things change? You know, fortunately, when I started my career, I deliberately worked on WORLDWIDE appeal. England was my springboard; from there I did Europe… And I ended up playing all over the world. And it's that working onstage across the globe that has kept me busy to this day. But yeah, the Nineties was a rough period. You know, they kept pushing soul artists like me down, away from the mainstream, further into the background, further into the background... So eventually I stopped concerning myself about what I'd already had. Because if, as an artist, you get that ONCE in your career, then you should consider yourself blessed and lucky. But right now, with things seeming to go full-circle, I'm definitely looking for the NEXT time around!"
Alex's current and future plans
"I've been spending so much time here in the UK lately. And, during that time, I've come across so many great songs, so many great writers, so many great musicians... So right now I'm excited about putting the next Alexander O'Neal album together by using both UK AND American producers. And musically I feel it has to be uptempo. So we can challenge the charts, we can challenge the remixers, and we can get on the dancefloor! You know, I've always tried to stay away from the stereotypical balladeer thing. I've just done the covers record, so this next album is gonna have to be HARD! I really think my fans in the street - that generation that grew up with me - need something to identify me with for right here and right now. I've got to challenge myself to come up with the right album and the right concept. Particularly with the kinda profile I've had this last year. I think I've probably been on British television more than other black man during the last 12 months! The type of coverage and respect I've had from the UK media has been PHENOMENAL! You know, things are constantly rolling. Right now I'm doing 'Celebrity Wife Swap' with my lovely-wife-for-the week Jilly (Goolden); I'm feeling good; my voice is sounding great... So God's been good to me, and I just plan to keep on moving forward!"
'Celebrity Wife Swap' airs on Channel 4 at 8pm, Sunday August 10

Simply put, lane courtesy is the practice of yielding to or moving over for faster moving traffic.
The current concept of lane courtesy, which is also called lane discipline, evolved in the United States with the development of the Interstate Highway System. However, the idea that slower traffic should yield to faster vehicles is even older.
Most states have rarely enforced traffic laws that require slower traffic, upon being signaled by a following vehicle, to pull to the right so the faster vehicle can pass.
Before 1973, rural speed limits were more likely to reflect realistic travel speeds. That meant that slower vehicles were driving under the speed limit and had no excuse to block the progress of faster traffic. The 55-mph National Maximum Speed Limit changed all that.
The 55-mph speed limit caused a total breakdown in lane courtesy.
Slower drivers that would have stayed in the right hand lane before, felt they could drive wherever they wanted now because they would still be go the speed limit or faster. This process was reinforced for more than two decades and it left an impression on a whole generation of new drivers.
In 1995, through the efforts of the National Motorists Association, the 55-mph limit was repealed.
Since then, several states have raised their speed limits and some even reflect actual travel speeds. Unfortunately, almost a quarter of century of poor lane courtesy had a lasting, negative impact.
It's not what causes these traffic jams, it's who. There's a specific type of driver to blame and the worst part is that they love doing it and refuse to stop. Who is wasting your time?
The NMA strongly supports the simple but significant concept of the slower traffic using the right lane and vehicles in the left lane yielding to faster traffic.

Excess nutrients in runoff are a chief threat to water quality. When it rains, the rain can cause erosion, pick up nutrients and chemicals, and run off the land into our waterways. These hitchhikers help us grow crops and have a nice lawn, but they're less useful in our streams, rivers, lakes and bays. Nutrients can lead to harmful algal blooms that kill underwater plants and destroy habitat that aquatic life needs to survive. They can also lead to water with little or no dissolved oxygen, again to the detriment of aquatic life that happen to be a food source for people.
Nutrient management and soil and water conservation districts (SWCDs) play a pivotal role in preventing such runoff. In fact, SWCDs have been in the business of fighting erosion and preventing pollution since the mid-1930s. And Virginia's 47 districts still wage the good fight, focusing mainly on on-the-ground work. DCR works closely with districts and farmers, urban and suburban landowners, and other land managers to cut this harmful runoff, but controlling runoff pollution is everyone's business. Each of us causes runoff pollution, and each of us must act to reduce its effects.

EDS spectra for InNx cone (black) and InN nanowires (red), respectively. A relatively lower indium signal in InNx microcones is probably due to nonuniform radial distribution of In and N in the micron-size cone with more N expected from core surface attachment of N in vapor. Due to the short penetration of electron beam used for EDS, the surface signals may be emphasized when compared to that of the inner part of the cone

James, D B (1983) Sea cucumber and sea urchin resources. CMFRI Bulletin, 34 . pp. 85-93.
|PDF - Published Version
The Andaman and Nicobar Islands offer one of the most suitable habitats for sea cucumbers and sea urchins due to the presence of sheltered bays and lagoons. The sea cucumbers prefer muddy or sandy flats and the sea urchins rocky coasts and algal beds. There have been very few reports on these echinoderms of the islands in the earlier years (Theel, 1882 ; Koehler and Vaney, 1908 ; Koehler, 1927). More recently James (1969) recorded several species of sea cucumbers and sea urchins from the islands. A specific account of the beche-de-mer resources of India was given by James (1973). A cottage level export-oriented beche-de-mer industry has been established in the Andamans since 1975. Kloss (1902) had made passing references to this resource.

Third World College
TWLF Strike
Strike Protagonists-L. A. Times
Anniversary Speech
Illuminations-Liberating Voices
|Chronology of Third World Liberation Front Strike at U.C. Berkeley
| By Ling Chi Wang
APRIL: The Afro-American Student Union (AASU) submitted a proposal for a Department of Black Studies to U.C. Berkeley Chancellor Roger W. Heyns.
AUGUST: Professor Andrew Billingsley was appointed the Assistant to the Chancellor to review and plan a Department of Black Studies.
In support of striking farm workers, the Mexican-American Student Confederation (MASC) met with Vice Chancellor O.W. Campbell to ask that the University stop purchasing table grapes. The Business Manager for Housing and Food Services agreed to stop serving grapes.
OCTOBER: Governor of California Ronald Reagan's Agricultural Secretary, Earl Coate, joined Governor Reagan and State Superintendent of Public Instruction Max Rafferty in condemning the grape boycott. U.C. President Charles J. Hitch also instructed U.C. to resume serving grapes in dormitories. The U.C. dormitories resumed serving grapes. Eleven MASC representatives tried to meet with President Hitch and were arrested for unlawful assembly and trespassing. Later this month, President Hitch agreed to establish a Center for Mexican-American Studies with temporary funds and to appoint an assistant to his office.
NOVEMBER: Billingsley submitted a proposal for Black Studies to Chancellor Heyns who promptly referred it to Dean Walker Knight of the College of Letters and Sciences (L&S). Knight asked the L&S Executive Committee to review the proposal.
DECEMBER: The L&S Executive Committee met without student representatives and Billingsley, and revised the proposal by eliminating the community involvement program, field work, and student participation. The committee was unable to decide if Black Studies should be a program or department.
JANUARY: The AASU discussed publicly the need for direct action, including a possible strike. The AASU, MASC, and Asian American Political Alliance (AAPA) formed a united position and began to function as a Third World Liberation Front (TWLF).
January 4: The AASU demanded immediate establishment of a Department of Black Studies.
January 14: A Strike Support Committee was formed to mobilize white student support for the TWLF strike.
January 22: The TWLF Strike began with picket lines at all major entrances of the campus. The TWLF demands included:

Eccleshall footballer picks up league award
Posted: June 18, 2014|
ALTHOUGH the club experienced an indifferent season, Eccleshall FC star player Angelo Errico has picked up a major league award.
At the annual North West Counties League presentation evening this week, midfielder Errico received the division one player of the year award.
As far as the Pershall Park club is concerned, performances and results picked up following the appointment of the new management team of Shaun Hollinshead, Dave Johnson and Phil Bath.
Errico progressed from the Eccleshall second team playing in the Staffordshire County Senior League to the North West Counties League first division and took the step up in his stride.

He turned in many consistent performances and received a number of 'man of the match' nominations from opposition teams as the season moved to its conclusion.
It was the number of these nominations that resulted in the award he received last Saturday.
Commenting on the award, Eccleshall chairman, Andy Mapperson, said: "We are delighted to see Angelo collect this award and it is a tribute to the consistency he has shown.
"This is the first time an Eccleshall player has been recognised in this way since we joined the North West Counties League some ten years ago".

ModCloth "Make The Cut Collection" Launches With Crowdsourced Designs!
This week, ModCloth launched their "Make The Cut" Collection, which was the first ever to be comprised primarily of crowdsourced designs that were voted on and selected by its online community. The final collection is made up of seven designs submitted from aspiring designers and three designs by Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer Susan Gregg Koger. How cool is that? Seven designers got to see their sketches below become realities!
The "Make The Cut" contest, which launched in November, started with Susan Gregg Koger and her team reviewing over 1,900 entries from designs based on a mood board Susan had created. They then selected 90 final designs to post on Facebook for the community vote. The 7 winning sketches above garnered the most votes, which scored their designers $500 and their name on the garment's tag.
The second "Make the Cut" contest was held in March, with a 1960s Back-to-School theme. The winning items from that contest will launch as a collection in September. ModCloth plans to launch another contest this summer with a holiday theme, so if you're a budding designer, make sure to enter!
Below are are some of my favorites from the collection, but you can shop the entire collection here. Vintage chic at its best… congrats to the winners!

Two top dating shows canceled
Today is a day for rejoicing, at least TV show-wise: two of the most vile shows on television are saying bye-bye.
Both ElimiDate and Blind Date are not coming back next season. ElimiDate hasn't been renewed at all, and while Blind Date has been renewed in 90% of the country for next season, they are just going to show repeats.
And mind you, there are 1300 episodes of Blind Date! Yikes. Get your TiVos and VCRs ready to record them, so you can watch the show over and over and over and over again when the reruns stop.

Saint–Sulpice was built over a 130-year period, beginning in 1646 during the regency of Queen Anne of Austria. The church was later enlarged by a series of architects making its grand stature notable on the Paris streetscape. The church is famed for the Chapel of Angels and striking murals painted by Eugene Delacroix. Unfortunately, less attention has been paid to the sacristy, a French architectural gem, which was originally built as a side chapel and renovated to its current state in 1731.The Slodtz brothers, well known in the court of Louis XV, manufactured a wrought-iron, gilded balcony above the doorway and opposite an impressive colorless leaded window. Wood paneling was placed on the walls with designs that were echoed in the carved stone ceiling, creating a beautiful textured effect.
+ More
In 2002, the carved wood details in the sacristy interior, the eighteenth-century gilding, and the vaulted stone ceiling were in poor condition. Dust and soot from candles and incense had created deposits on the walls, obscuring religious decorative detail of the wood paneling. WMF managed the restoration of the interior ornamentation of the sacristy, which was carried out between 2002 and 2005. The wooden walls, stone ceiling, and iron balcony were cleaned and treated. In places where the gilding had deteriorated, new gold leaf was applied and covered with a patina. The restoration of the sacristy was part of a larger conservation plan for the entirety of Saint-Sulpice that was organized by the Parisian authorities.
+ More
With its intricate wood paneling, gilded details, and vaulted stone ceiling, the sacristy is a shining example of French craftsmanship and structural design. Victor Hugo married Adèle Fouché under the arches of Saint Sulpice, and the church has also witnessed the baptisms of many important figures such as the Marquis de Sade and Charles Baudelaire. The Saint Sulpice sacristy had been largely undisturbed for 300 years prior to the WMF project in 2002, which brought well-deserved attention to the space. In May of 2005, a ceremony and concert featuring eighteenth-century music was held to celebrate the revitalization of the Saint-Sulpice sacristy. New tourists flock to this masterpiece because it features prominently in the Da Vinci Code, an international bestseller.

Belton council again tables cleanup ordinances
BELTON - For the third regular council meeting in a row, council members decided this week to table two ordinances dealing with collecting debris at residences and charges that would be assessed against property owners who allow their property to become overgrown.
Mayor Rufus Callaham said the council was still gathering information on how the ordinances should read.
The council chose the Appalachian County of Governments to do its comprehensive plan at a cost of $12,000.
Administrator Michelle Ricketson said $10,000 had been budgeted for the plan and the other $2,000 would come from contingency funds.
The other bids for doing the plan came in at $60,000 and $72,000.
The council also agreed to allow local businesses, organizations and town residents to put up Christmas displays in the "Lane of Lights through Belton." Displays need to put up between Nov. 13 and Nov. 21, to be in place by the Christmas Parade on Dec. 1.
The cost of a display is $25 to cover the use of electricity and the displays should reflect the spirit of the holiday season. The displays can not be wider than 20 feet, must be secured and no live animals are permitted in the displays.
People wishing to put up displays can call City Hall at 864-338-7773 and talk to Ricketson.
Ricketson said there's enough room for about 24 displays, which will be on North Main Street near the library and farmers market.
Other coming events in Belton include the Belton Standpipe Festival on Saturday, a swearing-in ceremony for new Police Chief Tommy Clamp at 7 a.m. Oct. 29 and Trick or Treat on the Square on Oct. 31.
In other matters, council passed a resolution to honor Ben Jordan and gave an update on the fall cleanup.
The cleanup included 20 volunteers picking up 45 bags of litter and placing 384 flowers throughout the town.

Once all of the options are set a familiar graphical user interface aids the user in additional configurations or modifications to the existing settings. An expert mode allows finite adjustment of the firewall by editing the actual settings files themselves The software also has the ability to share Internet connections with one or more other computers using a single Ethernet card. Monitoring or logging network traffic is also a snap with BrickHouse.
Firewalk is another shareware utility by Mike Vannorsdel that completes relatively the same tasks and even has more in depth questions than BrickHouse, to help customize the level of protection required for the firewall. The GUI is not quite as pretty as BrickHouses however, but the application also supports Internet sharing and has many more advanced options to configure the firewall for almost any configuration.
FirewalkX is installed using a custom installer application that places the application itself in the Applications folder, a dockling in the Dock Extras folder and a repair tool also in the Applications folder. The installer will also check for un-prebound software on the drive and optimize its performance. This step make the installation take much longer than BrickHouses drag and drop method.
Once installed, options in FirewalkX will be limited if unregistered, allowing only for basic firewall security. While the option for Medium and high security settings are listed in the setup assistant, they are grayed out. The same is true with other options further into the assistant and within the application.
The operation of both firewalls appears seamless. Attacks of a malicious nature are not as prevalent as those who sell this sort of software commercially would have you believe and therefore we can only assume that both were protecting us nicely in this respect. We were unable, however, to penetrate those ports in which we selected to be blocked, which is the fundamental task of both applications
Acting as an NAT gateway, both applications performed markedly better then the manual configuration shown on MacOSX.orgs NAT section. This is possibly due to additional flags used by the applications that were not included in the original manual directions.
While we mentioned that Internet-based attacks of these sorts are less prevalent than originally thought, the simple fact is that they do exist. Protecting a dedicated Internet connection from them should be the goal of any computer user and especially and MacOSX user.

I had an epiphany over breakfast one day to try this coffee rubbed pork concept. Coffee and cream go together—especially when there's a savory pork products involved (like bacon). So I took the idea of those three ingredients and did a club remix for dinner. And thus, the coffee rubbed pork with dijon cream sauce was born.
Wine Pairing Ideas
Pork is a bff to many a food lovers in my life. I like it in the morning. I like it in the afternoon. I like it with any meal and time of day. But pork is at its best with it's paired with wine. So many different wines from around the world can be considered for the dinner table with there's savory pig parts involved.
For this particular dish, there's sweet, sour, bitter and salt flavors going on. The pork is salty itself and there's salt in the rub but you can feel free to cut it in half if you want. Dijon adds a little tangy goodness that your taste buds will love and of course there's savory. Picking a wine didn't take very long—here's what I suggest:
2007 Rene Rostaing Cote Rotie
Nothern Rhone Syrah from 2007 and 2009 vintages are drinking really well now. Both vintages were on the hotter side, so some of the wines came out a little bigger and fruiter than leaner vintages. Normally I'd suggest letting those beauties sit in the cellar longer to amplify the intoxicating notes on the nose but the '07s and '09s are accessible earlier.
At its best, Syrah brings it in the aromatics department—smoke, roasted meats, damp earth, peppery goodness and savory envelope gorgeous black fruits in the glass. Northern Rhone Syrah offers up all those pretty notes but without too much extraction. Whereas Syrah might be high octane and high alcohol in other parts of the world, here it's restrained and compliments food without overpowering.
Rene Rostaing is a personal favorite. His Cote-Rotie fits the description above to a 'T'. I can smell all those incredible aromas in the glass while it's sitting on the table 18″ away. Savory black pepper notes and a bit of sweetness offset the heat in the rub. As you'll see in the preparation below, I like to smoke the meat before finishing on the grill, which just makes this pairing even more delicious.
If this wine isn't available, look for some other Syrah's from Northern Rhone or perhaps a heavier bodied Pinot Noir with dark fruits and smoke notes. The next time we fire this up we may try something from Ribero del Duero or possibly a Cannonau di Sardegna from Italy

Cinmeon Bowers, a 6-7 forward out of Chipola College, has given a commitment to Florida State after taking an official visit this past weekend. Bowers has already visited Memphis and was planning on visiting Louisville, but chose to commit to Leonard Hamilton and company. Hamilton was at Chipola on Monday, which was the first day college coaches could be on high school and junior college campuses to evaluate potential prospects, to watch Bowers work out.
Bowers averaged 11 points and 7 rebounds last season as a freshman at Chipola. He is one of the best JUCO players in the country and is in the mix for the top spot in our 2014 JucoRecruiting.com Top 100 players rankings, which will be released during the early portion of the regular season. Bowers is an extremely strong and aggressive forward who is very skilled around the rim. He has the ability to step away from the basket and knock down jump shots as well. Bowers is one of the toughest and most physical players that I've seen in years and has the ability to control the glass on both ends. Florida State has picked up a major difference maker in Bowers.

What Andrew Said About ContainersSubmitted by Scott Dowdle on Mon, 2007-10-08 10:08. andrew morton | OpenVZ
Kir posted a blog entry regarding Andrew Morton's keynote from the LinuxWorld Expo 2007 keynote (from August as seen a few items below) wanting to get a transcript of what Andrew said about containers and OpenVZ... so I spent about 30 minutes making it so. Here's what Andrew said:
"The one prediction I am prepared to make... is that over the next 1 to 2 years there'll be quite a lot of focus in the Linux kernel on... the core of the Linux kernel... on the project which has many names. Some people call it containerization... others will call it operating system virtualization... other people will call it resource management. It's a whole cloud of different features which have different applications.

Learning Linux-VServerSubmitted by Scott Dowdle on Wed, 2007-09-26 12:04. Linux-VServer | video | Virtualization
While it is obvious that I've been using OpenVZ for some time now, a lesser known fact is that I've also been using Linux-VServer at work. Linux-VServer is a lot like OpenVZ only different. Huh? Well, Linux-VServer is also a form of OS Virtualization but rather than the term "container" the Linux-VServer folks prefer the term, "security context".
From a feature and operational perspective, Linux-VServer and OpenVZ are very similar but from a design and implementation standpoint, they are quite different. The Linux-VServer setup I've been using at work pre-dates my employment there and it is quite old (based on the Linux 2.4.x kernel)... but it has been running flawlessly so I haven't seen the need to update it. As a result, I've really fallen behind with Linux-VServer's development and how it has changed, matured, and added features over the last couple of years.

The second video is about DTrace which is the kernel debugger for Sun's Solaris... but given the coverage on LWN in an article entitled, On DTrace envy which talks about DTrace vs. Linux's SystemTap kernel debugger... more info in DTrace is probably a good thing.

I attended two of the keynotes at LinuxWorld Expo 2007 and here they are as nicely recorded by the LinuxWorld folks. If only these videos were downloadable.
I put the second one on the full story page. It is a talk by one of the founders of VMware about the future of virtualization technologies.

I just recently started playing around with installing desktop environments inside of a VPS. It takes a little work as you really don't want to accidentally replace your vzdev package with a distro's stock udev package. Anyway, the video below was resized for embedded flash playback and there is no sound. If you want a MUCH higher quality video, you can can right-click and save as: openvz-via-vnc-with-migration.ogg.

LinuxWorld Expo 2007 Video footageSubmitted by Scott Dowdle on Mon, 2007-08-13 16:27. linuxworld | OpenVZ | video
I took my video camera hoping to do some interviews but given the fact that my first experience using it led to a visit from security telling me I couldn't record anything but the booth I was in... I was a bit wary about recording after that.
Along came a guy (although I didn't catch his name) doing what he called, "50 second .org videos". I latched onto that... and filmed him filming several of the .org booths.
Enjoy if you can a mish-mash of 36 minutes worth video clips. You'll see the following booths: Fedora, OpenVZ, Joomla, The Linux Foundation, Pentaho, and Ubuntu... although technically the Ubuntu booth was not in the .org Pavilion.
I got Carla's permission (from SWsoft) to film the presentation she did on Virtuozzo at the Intel booth... but she let me know up front that it was geared more towards how Intel and SWsoft work together rather than a general presentation on Virtuozzo. That part is about 10 minutes and it isn't too bad.
In the mean time...Submitted by Scott Dowdle on Mon, 2007-08-13 15:14. linuxworld | video
Ok, I fed my video from LinuxWorld Expo 2007 into a computer and am processing it now but in the mean time I found this interesting video from Geek Entertainment Television that should tide you over.
LinuxWorld Expo 2007 Day 1Submitted by Scott Dowdle on Tue, 2007-08-07 19:38. linuxworld | OpenVZ
Got to the booth at 9 AM. Got the laptops setup. Set out the DVDs. Kir had some flyers he had printed at Kinkos... and the banner was hung nicely.
All five of us were there in the booth today so we all got a chance to take turns talking to people. The booth had quite a bit of activity. We gave away all 25 DVDs we had burned within the first few hours so Kostya and Warren were busy burning DVDs on both of their laptops for most of the day to keep up with demand.
The basic question everyone asked was... how is OpenVZ different from VMware... or Xen? I got rather good at explaining OpenVZ's seven main points.

The Lindon-based software company, best known for its ongoing federal lawsuit against IBM over the purported release of SCO's Unix code into the freely distributed Linux operating system, recorded $7.42 million in revenue and a net loss of $3.58 million, or 17 cents per share.
For third quarter 2005, SCO registered $9.35 million in revenue and $2.37 million and 13 cents in losses.
SCO, which is seeking $5 billion in damages from IBM, reported spending $2.3 million in legal expenses for the quarter ending July 31, compared with $3 million for the same period last year.
President and CEO Darl McBride blamed stiff competition in the operating systems arena for his company's mounting losses but insisted SCO's Unix products line is getting some traction in the marketplace.
The company also is optimistic about prospects for its relatively new Me Inc. mobile services products, he said.
SCO stock closed Wednesday at $2.24 per share, down a penny.

Fast determination of grain structures in steels by laser-induced optical emission spectrometry.
In: Stahl und Eisen, Jg. 125 (2005) ; Nr. 7, S. 25-27
Zeitschriftenaufsatz / Fach: Chemie
Areas in steels which are inhomogeneous in terms of their compns. normally have neg. changed mech. properties leading to damages during reforming and defects in the products. For the characterization of cleanness regarding to non-metallic inclusions in steel samples, the application of scanning laser-induced optical emission spectrometry (Laser OES) is tested. Therefore, a synthetic sample made from pins of different high grade steels embedded in pure iron as well as low and high alloy steel samples with segregations and banded structures were examd. The inhomogeneity of such areas could be visualized successfully for different elements (Mn, Cu, Cr, S, P, C etc.).

VIDEO> Amazing Sound of the 1965 Honda RA272
"Honda is really all about the engine." Any real racing enthusiast will be aroused by the sound of a real race car. Listen to the awesome sound of this vintage Honda RA272 Grand Prix car as Dario Franchitti takes the famous – and immaculately kept – Mexico Grand Prix winning car out for a spin. This 1.5-liter V12, 230 horsepower vintage GP racer is the very same car that scored Honda its very first Grand Prix win at the 1965 Mexico Grand Prix, a race won by Richie Ginther.
When Franchitti described his experience with the car, he said the sound of the engine, its precise gearbox, and its unique handling made him think the car was very similar to a motorcycle! (more…)

Campese will arrive in Durban next month to do specialist work with the backline and the Sharks academy.
The former Wallaby has tried to get involved in the Australia set-up in the past but claims his own ideas did not correspond with those of the ARU.
He told the Australian newspaper: "In Australia it seems you've got to be in that little inner circle to get a coaching job.
"Maybe it helps if you want to be a yes man. Perhaps that improves your chances of getting selected. I don't know.
"But I remember going for the Australian sevens coaching job a few years ago and the first question I was asked was how I got on with the Wallaby coach of the time, Rod Macqueen.
"I knew then I was never going to get the job. It seemed my chances of coaching here were pretty slim because my idea of playing rugby is not the same as other people like, say, Eddie Jones.
"This opportunity in South Africa is new for me. Rugby is an international game and you only have to look at cricket and how former players from Australia have headed elsewhere because other countries wanted to tap into their knowledge."
Sharks coach Dick Muir is delighted with his coaching coup.
"It (his signing) is a loss for his own country but we welcome him with open arms," Muir said.

Chromecast's compatibility with both iOS and Android provides an advantage over the AirPlay technology used in Apple TV, tech columnist Edward C. Baig says. /AP
- Filed Under
You don't own a new smart TV that lets you go beyond standard TV and cable fare and watch shows and movies off the Internet. Nor have you invested in an Apple TV, Roku or other set-top solution that lets you stream content to the television.
So the $35 to try out Google's new Chromecast gizmo seems like a mere pittance for anyone seeking a low-cost and simple way to make a TV just a little bit smarter. And it is.
Chromecast is a clever sub-3-inch-tall dongle that looks a bit like a car key. Instead of a car, you're driving your TV into cyberspace. When you plug Chromecast into a high-definition ...

Anthony Ogogo wants spot on Mayweather v Alvarez card
British Olympic medallist Anthony Ogogo is hoping to feature on the card of the Floyd Mayweather Jr and Saul Alvarez bout in September.
The fight, to be staged by Oscar De La Hoya's Golden Boy Promotions, is expected to be one of the most financially lucrative in history.
Ogogo's honours list
- Pro record of two wins from two fights (one KO)
- Olympic bronze medal (2012)
- European silver medal (2012)
- ABAE Senior Boxer of the Year (2011)
- Commonwealth Games silver medal (2010)
- World Cadet Champion (2005)
- World U17 Champion (2005)
- Junior Olympics gold medal (2004)
"Let's not write anything off yet," Ogogo told BBC Radio Suffolk.
"My fingers are very much crossed for getting on that card. It's a massive card," added the 24-year-old.
Lowestoft's Ogogo won a middleweight bronze medal at London 2012 and subsequently turned professional with Golden Boy, owned by retired 10-time world champion De La Hoya, who fought and lost against Mayweather in 2007, a match that drew a record £12m ($18.4m) in gate receipts at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
The clash at the same venue between Mayweather and Mexican Alvarez, who are both undefeated, is expected to surpass that total and break numerous box office records.
"My friend was in New York for the press conference earlier this week and he said Times Square came to a standstill," said Ogogo.
"They will probably have eight or nine fights on the card and a little lad from Suffolk getting on such a massive card would be unbelievable."
The bright lights of Vegas will have to wait though, with Ogogo set to fight in Hull on the card of Olympic team-mate and gold medal winner Luke Campbell's professional debut next month.
Both men have yet to learn of their opponents.
"We're really good mates [talking about Campbell], we talk daily," said Ogogo, who has won both his professional fights to date.
"We're a year on from the Olympics and it would be nice to reignite the Olympic fever in the boxing community."

Alice Walker's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel The Color Purple might not seem like an obvious choice to adapt into a splashy musical, but the touring Broadway production at the Mahalia Jackson Theater recently offered rocking good entertainment. Set in rural Georgia in the 1930s, the story centers on Celie (Dayna Dantzler), a 14-year-old girl who has been raped by her Pa (Mark Hall) and becomes pregnant.…

since starting to write down exactly what I eat and the amount of calories the weight has been dropping off a lot quicker
I really do better when I keep track of what I eat. I write what I eat in a food log, then I input it on SparkPeople nutrition tracker. When I don't do this, I don't do good.252
I've been trying to stay on track but find myself getting off track because i can't remember my calories per meal and i have limited access to the computer for my sparkpeople page. So, yesterday i went back through my food diary and found the most common foods that i eat each week or frequently. I typed up a page with those foods to keep in my written food diary. I don't do the meal planner because of my food allergies such as soy, dairy and wheat. I believe this will help me stay on track.
I thought there was something wrong with me as I was quite active and ate healthily - no sweets, pop or fast food: WHY WAS I SO BIG?I wrote a food diary each day - it looked ok to me. WRONG! What a shock when I began putting EVERYTHING I ate into the SP Food Tracker. That slice of cheese, that handful of nuts... And even worse - that pint of cider / glass of wine! It all added up.

Braving stiff winds that threatened to topple their multilingual signs and banners, nearly 200 Cantabrigians rallied on the steps of City Hall yesterday, asking the City Council to support extending the right to vote in School Committee elections to immigrants.
The voting rights campaign, which was initiated by the Eviction Free Zone, a tenant group, is currently seeking the approval of the council through a petition that has been endorsed by five of the eight councillors. The state legislature has the final say.
"This is a no-brainer," said Councillor Marjorie C. Decker. "We have people paying taxes, sending their children to our schools. We want their vote to have a voice on what our schools look like."
"When immigrants have the right to vote, we will have a better, stronger community," she added.
Massachusetts state representative Jarrett T. Barrios '90 said he fully supports extending voting rights to immigrants.
"We are letting the City Council know today that immigrants deserve the right to vote in school elections," Barrios said at the rally.
The School Committee itself has already expressed its approval, with a five-to-two vote in favor of expanding the franchise.
"We want a blow of social change that will blow away the barriers keeping immigrants from voting," said School Committee member E. Denise Simmons, speaking to the crowd as high winds whipped into pro-vote banners.

Today I want to share a little trick I've been using for a while now to automate or improve some things in the Windows Azure Management Portal. Let's start with the beginning. As you all probably know the Management Portal is a Single Page Application which relies on Javascript which talks to a REST API (let's assume these are simply Actions in an ASP.NET MVC application returning a JsonResult).
Now with Fiddler you can easily take a look at what happens when you browse the portal. In order to see this you'll need to activate the "Decrypt HTTPS traffic" option in Tools, Fiddler Options, HTTPS.
As you can see I'm able to see which data is sent to the portal and how the data comes back. This is a basic functionality of Fiddler – nothing new here – but it's a nice starting point if we want to start customizing the portal.
In this example you can see that the portal made a request to /MonetaryCredit and the response contained a JSON array with credit information for all my MSDN subscriptions where the monthly credit option is enabled. This is a good example to show why and how we could customize the portal.
If I follow the announcement on Scott Guthrie's blog I should see something like this:
But when I look at the portal I don't see this credit status notification. This is because the notification is only visible if you're running out of credits. Well that's a nice feature, but I want to be able to check my credit even if I've got plenty of credits left.
Time for some Javascript
Now thanks to Fiddler we know that calling /MonetaryCredit returns some Json with all the information we need regarding the credit status. With this info I could write a little bit of code that takes this data and renders it in a table:
The code is pretty straightforward. Using the IE Developer Tools you can easily write your own "extensions" and test them on the fly. When you have the portal open in IE, simply press F12 to bring up the Developer Tools. Now go to the Console tab and press the arrows in the lower right corner to enable Multi line mode. To test this you could paste my code and press the Run button:
Wait a few seconds for the call to complete and voila, here is the result:
Since your code runs within the same window as the portal you don't need to worry about authentication when making requests to the portal.
Oh and before I forget, you can also use jQuery and jQuery UI because the portal also uses those libraries. This makes it really easy to execute Ajax calls or use some nice controls like the jQuery UI Dialog.
Linking your code to a button
Now I want to see the status of my credit every now and then, but I don't want to start the Developer Tools each time to run that Javascript code. That's why it's actually nicer to save your code as a bookmarklet. I always start out by minifying my code with a page like http://jscompress.com/. This will minify your script to a single line of code. Once you've done that simply create a new bookmark and type the following as your url: javascript:<your code>
For my example this would be:
javascript:$.post("/MonetaryCredit",function(e){var t=$("
").attr("style","border: 1px solid black; border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%").append($("
").attr("style","font-weight: bold").append($("Subscription	TotalCredit	Remaining Credit	Burn Rate	Might Run Out	")));$.each(e,function(e,n){if(n.MonetaryCreditInfo!=null){t.append($("
").attr("style","border: 1px solid black;").append($("").text(n.SubscriptionName)).append($("").text(n.MonetaryCreditInfo.RemainingCreditDisplay)).append($("").text(n.MonetaryCreditInfo.TotalCreditDisplay)).append($("").text(n.MonetaryCreditInfo.BurnRateDisplay)).append($("").text(n.MightRunOut)))}});$('
').append(t).dialog({width:600,height:250})})
The result, a nice little button which shows the status of my credit:
As you can see, the sky is the limit! If you're creating your own "extensions", don't hesitate to share them in the comments of this post!
