All entrepreneurs start their companies because they think it will give them freedom—freedom to work on their own terms, be their own bosses, and create a company that meets their needs. But so often the opposite happens, and they end up building businesses that, while profitable, fall short of their original goals and motivations, leaving them unsatisfied and unfulfilled.
The Big Enough Company explores how to grow your enterprise in a way that sustains your own personal goals and needs, not someone else's standards. Drawing on the true stories of nearly 100 entrepreneurs, as well as their own experiences, Lancaster and Abrams guide readers through the best principles that really matter when you work for yourself. This book empowers entrepreneurs to ignore popular "wisdom" and peer pressure to take charge of their businesses in a way that will help them succeed on their own terms.

Major League Baseball yesterday extended its deal with DirecTV to offer the league's package of out-of-market games, and said the satellite provider will also carry a new 24-hour MLB Channel that will debut in 2009.
In response to fan and government pressure, MLB also said it has offered the rights to the package at the same terms to InDemand, which represents several major cable operators, and to competing satellite provider Dish Network. The other operators have until the end of the month to sign on, or the package will be offered exclusively on DirecTV.
DirecTV, which is available in about 15 million households, has a similar exclusive deals with the NFL, NASCAR and the NCAA men's basketball tournament.
"We've secured a worldwide leader," MLB President Bob DuPuy said. "DirecTV's commitment to sports and pushing the envelope with regard to Extra Innings and these out-of-market packages is unprecedented."
DirecTV will pay a reported $700 million for the seven-year deal with baseball, though the value could decrease if other cable or satellite operators sign on.
Baseball has released few details about its planned MLB Channel, but it is generally believed that it will show a mix of live games, news shows and other baseball-related programming. Similar networks, such as NBA TV and NFL Network, have faced resistance in their efforts to be placed on the basic tiers of cable and satellite providers. The placement of the new baseball network on a basic tier is a key sticking point in the negotiations with InDemand and Dish Network.
News of a possible exclusive deal with DirecTV first surfaced last month and was met with immediate opposition from many baseball fans who said they were unable or unwilling to switch to DirecTV. The Federal Communications Committee, at the urging of Sen. John Kerry, Massachusetts Democrat, said it would investigate the matter.
DuPuy said the offer to other cable and satellite providers should stave off any chance of government intervention.
"We would hope that will alleviate those concerns," DuPuy said. "I can believe that should help enormously in that area."
Kerry said he would review the deal to see if it was in the best interests of fans.
"I'm encouraged that Major League Baseball may be willing to provide broader access to their games than what was initially proposed," he said. "I will be watching closely to ensure the league works in good faith so that America's pastime is available to all fans. My concern all along has been that fans continue to have the ability to enjoy baseball on television."
MLB officials yesterday said they would be content with an exclusive relationship with DirecTV but rejected the suggestion MLB had pushed for an exclusive deal all along.
"This has been a month of open and competitive negotiations," said Tim Brosnan, MLB's executive vice president of business. "That choice as to whether the package will appear on cable will not be made by us, but the cable operators."

Physiological and molecular characterization of aluminum resistance in Medicago truncatula

BMC Plant Biology 2008, 8:89 doi:10.1186/1471-2229-8-89Published: 19 August 2008
Aluminum (Al) toxicity is an important factor limiting crop production on acid soils. However, little is known about the mechanisms by which legumes respond to and resist Al stress. To explore the mechanisms of Al toxicity and resistance in legumes, we compared the impact of Al stress in Al-resistant and Al-sensitive lines of the model legume, Medicago truncatula Gaertn.
A screen for Al resistance in 54 M. truncatula accessions identified eight Al-resistant and eight Al-sensitive lines. Comparisons of hydroponic root growth and root tip hematoxylin staining in an Al-resistant line, T32, and an Al-sensitive line, S70, provided evidence that an inducible Al exclusion mechanism occurs in T32. Transcriptional events associated with the Al resistance response were analyzed in T32 and S70 after 12 and 48 h Al treatment using oligonucleotide microarrays. Fewer genes were differentially regulated in response to Al in T32 compared to S70. Expression patterns of oxidative stress-related genes, stress-response genes and microscopic examination of Al-treated root tips suggested a lower degree of Al-induced oxidative damage to T32 root tips compared to S70. Furthermore, genes associated with cell death, senescence, and cell wall degradation were induced in both lines after 12 h of Al treatment but preferentially in S70 after 48 h of Al treatment. A multidrug and toxin efflux (MATE) transporter, previously shown to exude citrate in Arabidopsis, showed differential expression patterns in T32 and S70.
Our results identified novel genes induced by Al in Al-resistant and sensitive M. truncatula lines. In T32, transcription levels of genes related to oxidative stress were consistent with reactive oxygen species production, which would be sufficient to initiate cell death of Al-accumulating cells thereby contributing to Al exclusion and root growth recovery. In contrast, transcriptional levels of oxidative stress-related genes were consistent with excessive reactive oxygen species accumulation in S70 potentially resulting in necrosis and irreversible root growth inhibition. In addition, a citrate-exuding MATE transporter could function in Al exclusion and/or internal detoxification in T32 based on Al-induced transcript localization studies. Together, our findings indicate that multiple responses likely contribute to Al resistance in M. truncatula.

Guillermo Del Toro Wants To Put Maisie Williams In A Jaeger
A sequel to Pacific Rim might be a long ways off, but it's still on director Guillermo del Toro's mind. And, he has a fantastic idea for who he wants behind the controls of a new Jaeger. »
A sequel to Pacific Rim might be a long ways off, but it's still on director Guillermo del Toro's mind. And, he has a fantastic idea for who he wants behind the controls of a new Jaeger. »
If Guillermo del Toro wasn't making movies, he'd be a Fantastic Fest attendee. He's just one of those guys who lives and breathes, not just cinema, but weird, creepy, tense and gory cinema. So for him to bring his latest film, Crimson Peak, to the intensely genre film festival was a big deal. »
We know the stories. We've read them. We've seen them made into movies, parodies and more. But we've never really seen the stories of Edgar Allan Poe like this. This is Extraordinary Tales. »
Fans who've been polishing their Jaeger waiting for the sequel to Guillermo del Toro's 2013 film, Pacific Rim, may want to slow down. It seems the sequel, which was set for a 2017 release date, has been "halted indefinitely" and may not get made at all.
Guillermo del Toro has only made eight films. Sure, a ninth is on the way (with 10 on deck after that), but he's become such a well-known pop culture persona, that number feels low. Maybe it's because his movies are so rich, they stay with us long after we leave the theater. »
Guillermo Del Toro wants to move Pacific Rim from kaiju homage to straight-up kaiju canon. Good luck with that.
When we caught up with Adam Savage at San Diego Comic Con, he was excited to talk about all things Star Wars. For one thing, he's got a special Star Wars episode of MythBusters coming up. For another, though, he visited the set of The Force Awakens, and saw something really, really cool. »
Guillermo del Toro is doing full-on gothic romance in his new movie Crimson Peak, and he told us to expect "kinky," unsettling action. We talked to the stars at Comic-Con, and asked Tom Hiddleston about the movie's transgressive sexuality. And Jessica Chastain told us she was covered with bruises. »
Who isn't excited for Guillermo Del Toro's return to horror Crimson Peak? The team at Mondo is and they just revealed three brand new posters that'll be available at San Diego Comic-Con. »
Seriously, cut it out, publishers. Are you trying to ruin us? There are so many incredible books coming out this month, it's unreal. China Mieville, Charles Stross, Austin Grossman, Jesse Ball, William T Vollmann... it's all happening. Here are July's must-read science fiction and fantasy books. »
Everybody has influences. You can't create without borrowing from those who went before, and building on their work. Earlier today, we saw Tarantino's films compared with his source material. But who's your favorite creator whose influences are incredibly easy to spot in their work?
Guillermo del Toro's gross vampire virus series The Strain will return to FX this summer, and we've got the new season two footage to prove it. The new trailer shows vampires 1, humans 0, and it doesn't look like things are getting better anytime soon for our heroes. »
Are you ready for a children's book about monsters from Guillermo del Toro? Then we've got a nice surprise for you. Check out an exclusive peek at the front cover of del Toro's Trollhunters, which he co-wrote with author Daniel Kraus (Rotters). »
FX has debuted the first trailer for the second season of Guillermo del Toro's vampire series The Strain, and it appears the ammonia-laden Strigoi fecal matter has completely hit the fan, as the war between humans and the vampires has escalated from covert to "the city is overrun and also on fire." »
Guillermo del Toro is creating a dark Victorian fantasy series set in the near future (in London) where humans and monsters live side-by-side. Titled A Killing on Carnival Row, the Amazon show will investigate a series of fairy murders. Just take our money now, GDT. »
In Guillermo del Toro's upcoming gothic ghost story Crimson Peak, Tom Hiddleston plays the mysterious husband of a young author, played by Mia Wasikowska. But as dapper as Hiddleston looks in his 19th-century costume, the real star of these official images is his character's manor. »
Guillermo del Toro dropped some monster-sized bombs about Pacific Rim 2 and Pacific Rim 3—specifically alluding to the fact that Pac Rim 2 and Pac Rim 3 would be connected by some of our favorite characters. »
There is absolutely no doubt in our minds that Jorge R. Gutierrez's animated movie Book Of Life will be stunning. The images and trailer alone have given us so much to look forward to, and now there are clips—gorgeous, cheeky clips of the wonderful world of the dead. Take a look. »

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
JONESBORO —A juror has been replaced on the panel that began deliberating the fate of a McDonough woman Monday.
Lisa Lebis, 41, is charged with murder in the December 2012 shooting death of Clayton County police Officer Sean Callahan although it was her husband, Tremaine Lebis, who pulled the trigger.
Officer Waymando Brown returned fire, killing Lebis, 41. Callahan, 24, of Kennesaw died 14 hours later from internal injuries. Callahan would have turned 26 tomorrow.
Jurors deliberated more than 10 hours over Monday and Tuesday without reaching a verdict. They had four questions for Judge Albert Collier during the day Tuesday, including what they should do if they can't reach a decision on some of the charges.
"You should continue deliberating," said Collier.
During a discussion on one of the questions, defense attorney Kenneth Ellis made a motion for a mistrial. Collier denied the motion.
Callahan's mother, Darlene Rogers, has attended every day of the trial, which started with jury selection Feb. 3. However, when snow fell in spots around Atlanta Tuesday morning, it didn't look like Rogers and other relatives would be able to make it to the courthouse.
Clayton County District Attorney Tracy Graham Lawson got permission to set up Face Time if a verdict was announced Tuesday so the family could hear it. But Rogers made it to the courthouse just after 1 p.m.
"We had snow but as it warmed up, it melted so we came down," she said.
Rogers and her husband, John Rogers, were joined by other supporters as they waited for the verdict. They were sitting in the courtroom when Ellis sent Lawson a note offering a guilty plea from Lebis in exchange for 15 years in prison. Lawson declined.
Before the trial, Ellis turned down an offer from Lawson for Lebis to plead to all charges except murder in exchange for 25 years in prison. Because Lebis has four prior felony convictions, sentences for any subsequent felony convictions must be served without parole, according to Georgia's "three strikes" law.
About 5 p.m., Collier brought the jurors in to give them options on how to proceed in light of expected worsening weather. The foreman said they wanted to take a 10-minute break and deliberate until 7 p.m. By that time, an announcement had been made to close the courthouse Wednesday and Thursday.
At 6:50 p.m., with still no verdict, jurors sent out a note that one of the panel couldn't return Friday because of an exam at Clayton State University. However, the juror wasn't clear on the specifics such as what time the test would be given or how long it would take.
"I haven't been to class for two weeks, because of weather and now this trial," he said. "I haven't been able to get in touch with my professor." He did say the professor had told him he wouldn't be allowed to take the exam any other day except Friday.
Lawson asked that the juror be replaced by an alternate.
"I think because of the uncertainty of the time, the best thing to do to reach a verdict is to remove the juror for cause and substitute an alternate," she said, "even though they are going to have to start all over again."
Ellis agreed. Collier excused the juror for cause and replaced him with a female juror.
"Don't talk to anyone about deliberations until after you've heard a verdict has been reached in this case," said Collier.
The two attorneys then debated with Collier on finding out where the jurors are on the 16 charges.
"If they are down to one or two counts, we'd probably dismiss them, if (Ellis) wants to," said Lawson.
However, Collier's replacement of the juror made the point moot because deliberations have to start fresh Friday at 9 a.m. with the alternate. Any decisions already made must be reconsidered with the new juror.
The shooting happened at Motel 6 in Stockbridge Dec. 17, 2012. The couple had been staying in Room 226 for eight days when they ran out of money and were asked to leave, according to witnesses. Motel workers said Lisa Lebis got angry and cursed at them inside the lobby office so they called 911. Brown and Callahan responded, discovered damage to the motel room and decided to arrest the pair.
The two, however, had other plans, Lawson asserted during her closing argument. Convicted felon Tremaine Lebis was wanted on a parole violation at the time of the shooting. Lawson told jurors he and his wife had agreed on an escape plan if police came looking for him.
When Brown and Callahan tried to take him into custody, Tremaine Lebis decided to put that plan into action, she said. Lawson said he intended to run into a nearby 500-mobile home park where he would wait for his wife to meet him. They would then call her adult son, Michael Davis, to pick them up and continue hiding from police.
Lebis led the men around the back of Building 500 and down a 3.3-feet wide path bordered by a wall and embankment. Midway down the path, Lebis reached into a fanny pack he'd concealed under his clothes and pulled out a modified handgun, got on one knee and began firing at Callahan, who was between Lebis and Brown.
Callahan was able to squeeze off four rounds before he was hit once in the neck and fell over the embankment. Brown nearly emptied his 15-round magazine firing at Lebis, who died at the scene.
Lisa Lebis is charged with felony murder as a party to the crime. Lawson said she knew her husband was carrying a concealed weapon and failed to warn police. Lebis is also accused of hindering Brown's efforts to render first aid to Callahan. When other officers arrived after the shooting, Lisa Lebis reportedly kicked Investigator Josh Waites in the chest and failed to obey orders from other officers.

Netflix has long been available as an app for the iPhone, but up until today, setting up a subscription could only be accomplished via the Netflix website, which created a disjointed experience for new subscribers. Today, Netflix is allowing users to subscribe directly via the app itself.
What does this mean for Netflix? It means that any subscriptions initiated through the app will be subjected to the same 70/30 split that other apps experience, with Apple taking 30% of the subscription proceeds. Instead of raising its prices in the app to accommodate for the loss of revenue, Netflix is staying the course. Read More

After investing millions of dollars into a contract to consolidate data centers and profit from the cost savings acheived, Lockheed Martin now sits idle waiting further explanation of why OMB put a hold on the project in March. (Stock image).
Energy savings performance contracts (ESPCs) have been widely used across the federal government to improve energy efficiency at major facilities' infrastructures, but a first-of-its-kind partnership between the Department of Energy and contractor Lockheed Martin aims to bring those same optimizations to data centers. Energy CIO Robert Brese earned an FCW Federal 100 award for his work in establishing such arrangements.
Here's how it could work: An energy savings company (ESCO) – in this case Lockheed Martin – identifies energy consumption metrics, discovers improvements and creates an energy savings project catered to the agency. The identified savings pays for the cost of the project, rendering capital and upfront investments unnecessary. The agency then would have a repeatable method for optimizing its data centers to specifications set forth by the Federal Data Center Consolidation Initiative, and would make good on President Barack Obama's energy savings projects memorandum.
Presidential Memorandum -- Implementation of Energy Savings Projects and Performance-Based Contracting for Energy Savings
Addendum to OMB Memorandum M-98-I3 on Federal Use of Energy Savings Performance Contracts (ESPCs) and Utility Energy Service Contracts (UESCs)
There's just one problem with this first ESPC: DOE officials say that as they prepared in March to issue a task order to Lockheed Martin -- after going through more than a year's worth of work and completing the necessary approval processes -- officials at the Office of Management and Budget placed the project "on hold."
Reasons for the hold on the $70 million data center consolidation ESPC are not known, and OMB did not confirm or deny the hold to FCW. It is unclear whether OMB has the authority to place another agency's contract on hold.
As the ESCO for the project, Lockheed Martin's profits would have come directly from savings it guaranteed DOE. The optimization of two data centers – one in New Mexico and one in Maryland – projected to achieve a 70 percent reduction in energy consumption and generate another $6 million in annual lifecycle cost savings. Such savings would have paid the contract off in six years. The hold puts the company, which invested millions of dollars at its own risk, in the unenviable position of waiting for answers that haven't come yet.
"ESPCs address the challenges of data center consolidation most often cited by Federal CIOs -- lack of funds and uncertainty about the return on investment," said Roger Flanagan, Director of Energy Solutions for Lockheed Martin. "By competitively selecting a partner at the outset of project development, agencies can draw on industry expertise to significantly reduce large energy consumption and costs associated with IT operations."
The hold has also had a chilling effect on other data center ESPC efforts, according to Jennifer Schafer, executive director of the Federal Performance Contracting Coalition, an industry group that represents energy service companies. Three other major agencies – the General Services Administration, NASA and the U.S. Navy -- have selected ESCOs for their own data center optimization efforts, and others like the Department of Transportation have released notices of opportunity.
All are now looking at what happens with the DOE-Lockheed Martin deal. If it falls apart, Schafer said, the whole movement probably will.
"It's the first, and it would be incredibly awful for them to have a bad decision on this first one – the rest will die," Schafer said. "We won't do data centers in the federal government."
Paul Hamilton, vice president of government affairs for Schneider Electric, said his company is hoping to receive a task order soon from the Navy for work that includes data center optimization in San Diego. Schneider Electric is a big player in the world of data center infrastructure, and one of 16 ESCOs in the DOE's Federal Energy Management Program under an indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract that previously did long-term modernization work like lighting.
Hamilton said its recent efforts in data center optimization will be for naught if the OMB hold continues indefinitely. "We're not waiting in the wings, we're actively developing those projects right now and proceeding as if it will get resolved," he said. "If it doesn't, then we've done a lot of work for nothing."
Hamilton's main criticism of OMB's handling of the issue is a lack of transparency.
No industry reps contacted by FCW, including Lockheed Martin and Schneider Electric, had seen or read any explanation from OMB for the hold. When contacted by FCW, officials from DOE said they had not received an explanation from OMB, a timeline for when a decision might come, or a detailed reasoning behind the decision to hold. OMB declined to answer those and other questions when posed by FCW.
"OMB provides guidance to agencies regarding the implementation of these memoranda," said an OMB spokeswoman, referring to the Federal Use of ESPCs and Utility Energy Service Contracts memorandum.
The hold also raised eyebrows because OMB has championed "innovative efforts" for agencies in recent months, with federal CIO Steven VanRoekel and others calling on agencies to do things like optimize data centers with increasingly tight wallets.
OMB has been criticized by GAO and congressional oversight committees for its poor leadership and lack of metrics in carrying out the FDCCI, which OMB once promised would save the government several billion dollars. A recent GAO report, released during a hearing of the House Oversight and Government Reform Subcommittee on Government Operations, stated only $63 million in documented savings and cost avoidance would be achieved by fiscal 2013's end.
And now ESPCs -- and OMB's hold -- are on the congressional radar as well.
On May 2, Senate Energy and Natural Resources Chairman Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) penned a letter to the White House calling for the increased use of ESPCs. In the letter, Wyden specifically urged OMB to approve "these and future projects in a timely manner in order to ensure that momentum continues toward achieving the $2 billion ESPC investment goal."
"ESPCs are a good deal for government," Wyden said. "These projects save money by reducing the cost of energy and operations in federal buildings, and they do not require any outlay of funds. For these reasons, I urge you to support a robust ESPC program and to reduce administrative barriers to the use of these contracts. In this time of serious budget constraint, I intend to do all I can to work with you in maximizing the use of performance contracting."

Outrage Against the Obama Machine at Fevered Pitch: All Tea Party Groups Are Non-Partisan Social Welfare Groups, Didn't the IRS Know?
Original post made by Freedom Sometimes Must Come at the Expense of Others, Bordeaux Estates, on May 18, 2013
Treasury Secretary Jack Lew, in an interview with Bloomberg TV today, stated that he met with the inspector general closely after assuming his post, but he was presented only with a list of ongoing investigations, not specific details of the audit on conservative groups.
"From the moment I learned about it, I was outraged," he said. "It is a matter of the highest priority that the IRS be beyond suspicion in terms of its integrity. Here we had numerous anti-taxation, tea party groups that are so adamently opposed to social welfare that it borders on hate. Now, when they make the claim that half of their use of funding goes to social welfare we should believe them, right?."
Lew continued, "An IRS with integrity would simply allow these anti-tax, social welfare hate groups to operate beyond even a scintilla of suspicion. That's why our inquiries were so utterly outrageous."

Seeking legislation germane to the organization's programs is a permissible means of attaining social welfare purposes. Thus, a section 501(c)(4) social welfare organization may further its exempt purposes through lobbying as its primary activity without jeopardizing its exempt status.

b, do you think the IRS under this administration is impartial and ethical? Do you approve of the arrogance and lawless conduct of the lame duck president? How about the statments he and his minions keep repeating about not being aware of the various scandals embarassing his administration until they read about in the press?
Just that admission alone speaks volumes about his ability to govern.
I must admit though, you obama apologists are sure loyal...you manage to stick by your boy not matter how badly he screws up this country.

The Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) is an international project to construct an interferometer, operating between wavelengths of 300 microns and 1 centimeter at an altitude of 5 kilometers at an exceptionally dry site in Northern Chile. The project is currently a partnership between North America through the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO), Europe through the European Southern Observatory (ESO), Japan through the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ), and Chile. ALMA was initially planned by North America and Europe as an array of 64 12-meter antennas; Japan's participation brought two additional receiver bands to the instrument along with a compact array comprising 4 separate 12-meter antennas and 12 7-meter antennas. The ALMA array is designed to have an angular resolution of 6 milliarcseconds at its shortest operating wavelength and a sensitivity that will enable fundamental investigations of the origin and evolution of planets, stars, and galaxies—investigations that are not possible with other instruments observing in other areas of the spectrum.
The behavior of the troposphere is a major factor in the quality of astronomical observations in the millimeter-wave region of the spectrum, because it can change both the amplitude and the phase of a celestial signal. The ALMA site, in the Atacama desert,
is thought to be the best accessible site in the world for millimeter and submillimeter astronomy. It is likely to attract other facilities.
The NRAO-ESO agreement was for a $650 million budget, with construction shared between the two continents. Following recent increases in commodity costs, it has become necessary to contemplate a descope of the project. An investigation by the project and the ALMA Science Advisory Committee (ASAC) found that the only descope option that could lead to significant savings without catastrophic loss of scientific capability was a reduction in the number of antennas.
The committee has read the ASAC reports dated September 2004 and March 2005, the relevant chapters of the ALMA Project Book, the ESO document "Science with ALMA," and the 1999 Report of the Antenna Size Committee. It has also listened to presentations by Wayne van Citters on behalf of the National Science Foundation, Ewine van Dishoeck, representing ESO, and Jean Turner, ASAC chair. Mark Holdaway of NRAO kindly explained aspects of the ALMA imaging philosophy.
As the premier instrument in the world for the exploration of planets, stars, galaxies, and the unknown for several decades, ALMA will be a long-term investment for frontier research by the U.S. astronomy community. One salient feature of the ALMA project is the array's planned accessibility to the broader U.S. astronomy community. Previous radio and millimeter arrays have required users to be highly proficient in interferometric techniques. In contrast, ALMA is designed to be an observatory accessible to astronomers who normally observe at other wavelengths. ALMA's unprecedented number of antennas is the key driver for this accessibility, and the potential descope will significantly curtail the number of astronomers who will be able to use the observatory.
Observatory facilities have a long active life. The Very Large Array (VLA) is 24 years old and will likely operate for twice as long. ALMA is currently expected to have a 30- to 50-year productive lifetime. From this perspective, the incremental cost of com-
pleting the array is a small fraction of the observatory's lifetime cost. If the operating costs are estimated to be 10 percent per year, then reductions by 10 or 20 in the number of antennas are roughly equivalent to only 1 or 2 years of operation, i.e., roughly 2.5 percent or 5 percent of the total project cost. In addition, smaller arrays would take smaller quantities of data during ALMA's lifetime and would be far less user friendly when high-fidelity images are required.
The committee concludes that a 60-element array would be greatly superior to any current or planned comparable instrument for several decades and would revolutionize millimeter and submillimeter astronomy.

has selected The Druckenmillers as
Old-Time Music
is the name used as long ago as the 1920's for the dance tunes, songs and solo pieces people played for entertainment before radio and recordings caused most people to put their instruments away.
With roots in Ireland and northern Europe, and African influences, the music adatpted to many American environments as it was played and passed from person to person. New tunes were "made" and became part of the tradition. Banjos joined fiddles, and when the era of the mail-order catalog came, guitars were added, too.
By the mid-1920's, the new recording industry in the United States became interested in recording the traditional dance tunes. Sentimental and religious songs also became part of the old-time music captured on heavy 78 RPM discs.
Old-time music at its best is tunes and songs and the stories that give them life. Played from the heart, the music conveys the feelings and stories of those who played it first.

The Grand Designs host teaches us to dream big, forget about home ownership and make do and recycle from aeroplanes
We can't think of a better place to launch into an ambitious, over-budget and impractical architectural project than, vicariously speaking, from our own couch. The long-running TV series Grand Designs has racked up a whopping 15 years in the UK, and part of the enduring romance with the show is 55-year-old Kevin McCloud.
"I hear the weirdest stories," says the host and owner of HAB Housing. We're talking about fan mail. Time Out shares a memory of Australian actor Toby Schmitz, who performed an Erotic Fan Fiction story about McCloud at Surry Hills Library. "I'd like to read that story," he says. "Someone once sent me a picture of a tattoo they'd had done of me on their calf."
This year McCloud was awarded an MBE – not for his dreamy voice but for his services to sustainability. As he reflects on how baffled and honoured he was by the privilege, he tells us one of his bugbears is that some people view sustainability as a grim, compromised life. "I was introduced to one couple that actually met while recycling. They threw out the trash and fell in love. That's what it can be about."
McCloud is making it his mission to figure out ways that people can share more resources. "We're naturally sharing creatures," he argues. "We share company, meals, jokes, a library book or movie. We get into trouble for sharing things that we shouldn't. And we should be sharing the more basic commodities."
"I did a series about an Airbus 320 aeroplane. We demonstrated that it's possible to use everything; we made dog beds, toy boxes, furniture... What was important is that our viewing audience was particularly strong with the under 30s. That's a generation in the UK who's had to learn to live in a recession."
McCloud is coming to Sydney to appear at the annual Grand Designs Live exhibition, which will include a Design Arcade showcasing the works of artisanal makers and creators and the Tech Box, a display of technological innovations. This year's expo has a special focus on small spaces. "The word 'grand' is about the scale of vision, not the physical size of the building or even how much you spend on it," says McCloud. "It's about the ambition and adventure in which you approach the project."
However, some of us – especially those feeling squeezed out of the property market – may need to scale back our expectations, says McCloud. "It's a fallacy to think that we own our homes. Mortgage companies own our homes... What's important is that we have affordable rental and access to a decent quality of life – there are lots of things that go into the mix."
Sadly, if you've ever wanted to take a peep inside Kev's abode, you'll have to think again. The British designer's 500-year-old farmhouse is strictly off limits to camera crews. He laughs, "Is it the kind of thing you'd see on Grand Designs? No. No, because it's mine. I wouldn't put it out there in the press – it would smash my reputation!"

Great!....until it stopped working

Best Uses
This worked great...until it stopped working after I had it for about 30-45 days. It appeared to be constructed well with wires that were secure so I don't know exactly what happened, but I couldn't get it to work again. It's very powerful and effective, so I got a second one that is so far still working.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Wash before and after each use. Remove batteries when not in use. Always use a water based lubricant with this product for maximum pleasure.

Photo Flash: DC Comics Releases First Look at GREEN ARROW #17
Jeff Lemire takes on writing duties on GREEN ARROW and kicks off with issue #17, further expanding his gritty and noir take on the Justice League of America member. Below, get a first look of three pieces of unfinished interior art from the new series by artist Andrea Sorrentino (I, VAMPIRE)!
"The challenge for me, when taking over the title at issue #17, was really to try to approach it as if it's a first issue, so that it's completely accessible to new readers," explained Lemire. "Everything you need to know about the character and his world is established in a simple way in that first issue. So you can jump on really easily."
As for Komodo, the new villain Ollie will be facing off against? "He's another archer whose skill level is clearly better than Oliver's," Lemire teased. "He's Oliver's physical better in every way when we open the series. He's someone who seems very specifically hell-bent on destroying Oliver Queen/Green Arrow. The reason for this started to come up ... and it has something to do with Oliver's father ... "
GREEN ARROW #17 shoots into stores on February 6.

Koans represent the sayings and doings of Zen masters and their friends and students, as collected many centuries ago. Koan (Japanese) literally means "public case" (as in a legal precedent), and these ancient cases continue to have relevance for modern dharma students, illustrating what it might mean to live free from repetitive dualistic patterns of thinking and behaving.

The ultimate habitual pattern is samsara itself—the wheel of habitual cyclic existence that causes all your suffering. The karma that drives the wheel—the three poisons of attachment, aggression, and ignorance—are actually deep-seated habits of mind. When you finally get tired of unconsciously participating in the daily show of habitual samsaric programming, what can you do to change it? Buddhism teaches three basic ways to cut your ties to samsara, once you have decided this is something you really need and want to do. More

Styrmir Örn Guðmundsson
JOEY RAMONE is very proud to host the 1st solo exhibition in the gallery by Icelandic artist Styrmir Örn Guðmundsson. The exhibition which occupies both gallery and project spaces opens on Saturday 5 September from 5-8pm and runs till Saturday 10 October.
The environment is a dark mysterious place. Tunnels lead you on to the sweet cool old milky ocean. In the city yard a lonely tree breathes while the heatwave creeps. An oversized puzzle dangles around. A bird spins, bombastic and fantastic. Feel free to tango with the curvy steel. Easier done with the four hands of two minds.
During the exhibition period a 'Black Appetizer' will take place - a choose-your-own performance that activates the works on display. The structure of the performance will be based on a selection of works within the exhibition made by an invited guest. This unique performance takes place during the 'Kunst in de Witte de Withkwartier' (2nd weekend of September)*. The 'Black Appetizer' is a nomadic context-unspecific storytelling piece retrieving from spoken language. Linguistic elements are replaced with objects, songs and gestures. A mobile concert. The 'Black Appetizer' will set the table for more dishes to be served.
Styrmir Örn Guðmundsson (IS) lives in Warsaw. He is a storyteller, a performer, an object maker and writer. He has a love for the absurd, by which is meant less an obsessive passion for the ridiculous, nonsensical or the odd, than a tender and caring attitude: he takes care of the absurd, he helps it to develop, he gives it a place alongside everything else where it can be your most disturbing neighbor and your best friend. Styrmir adapts written pieces, drawings and things into live performances that serve as an exhibition device for autonomous objects.
Styrmir Örn Guðmundsson studied visual art at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy (2005-2009) and the Sandberg Institute (2010-2012) in Amsterdam.

AGEIA PhysX at Digital Life in New York
Subject: Graphics Cards | October 12, 2006 - 01:38 PM | Ryan Shrout
Digital Life, one of the smaller shows for the tech community, opened today in New York City. I just got an email that AGEIA is on-site there with some new annoucements and showing off some new technology. They have some software on display, as well as the first public showing of the PCI Express version of the PhysX card.
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. — October 12, 2006 — AGEIA™ Technologies, Inc.
RealityMark is available for download
Subject: Graphics Cards | October 10, 2006 - 02:40 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Set to become the 3dMark equivalent for Physics Processing Units, AGEIA has posted their RealityMark benchmarking tool for download.
Here's the system requirements
- AGEIA PhysX Accelerator with latest drivers (2.5.1 or later required)
- Microsoft Windows® XP 32-bit or 64-bit
- 1GB System RAM or higher
- At least 1 GB free hard disk space
- Intel® Pentium® 4 or Celeron Processor, 1.5GHz or higher OR AMD Athon XP™ 2400+ or higher
- DirectX 9.0 graphics adapter with 128MB RAM or higher

Quality versus Quantity, The Frames per Second conundrum
Subject: Graphics Cards | October 2, 2006 - 02:42 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Take two of the fastest cards available, the nVIDIA 7950 GX2 and the ATI X1959XTX, and the speed difference at default levels really isn't that huge in most games. That isn't what X-bit Labs wants to find out though. They are far more interested in maxing out AA, FSAA, Anistropic filtering and various other newer graphical improvements, first to look at the effect on FPS, and secondly to determine if it actually improves the look of the game.
Ageia RealityMark
Subject: Graphics Cards | October 2, 2006 - 11:58 AM | Jeremy Hellstrom
If you want a little more physical reality in your games, Ageia's PPU is what will give it to you. Short video clips and comparisons of games with and without hardware physics give you some idea what the card can do, but their upcoming benchmarking tool, RealityMark, shows it better than anything has yet. [H]ard|OCP has a clip from that benchmark, that is worth watching twice to catch everything that goes on.

NGOHQ has heard that a possible 7950GS card may be released. The 7950GT was released very recently, at the $300 mark. This card would have to be cheaper, as it would not be faster, and could be the cheapest and easiest way to get SLI up and running.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The only gun store in San Francisco is shuttering for good, saying it can no longer operate in the city's political climate of increased gun control regulations and vocal opposition to its business.
By Krista Hughes ATLANTA (Reuters) - A dozen Pacific nations closed in on a sweeping free trade pact on Sunday in Atlanta after a breakthrough over how long a monopoly pharmaceutical companies should be given on new biotech drugs. The issue has pitted the United States, which has argued for longer protections, against Australia and five other delegations who say such measures would strain national healthcare budgets and keep life-saving medicines from patients who cannot afford them. The terms of that compromise, hammered out after a third all-night round of negotiations between Australia and the United States, still had to find support from other nations such as Chile and Peru as of Sunday afternoon, people involved in the talks said.
