The South Beach Diet Is What We Are Going To Be Examining In The Following Paragraphs
The South Beach Diet was developed by a doctor in you're going to see that this one of the main reasons that it works so well and has become very popular. He made this diet to help his cardiac patients drop some weight, together with dealing with their ongoing symptoms. He never considered that this program would become a worldwide trend as it has become incredibly successful in helping virtually anybody achieve the weight loss goals that they have been looking for.
The South Beach Diet is the most popular diet for a lot of folks mainly because it's not as complex as similar weight loss programs. When it comes to the weight loss program itself you are going to find that the first two stages are actually very short in the third stage is what you're going to follow so you'll have the ability to keep the weight off for the remainder of your life. Just what makes this program so easy is the fact the you don't have to count calories to be able to lose weight, you simply adhere to a diet program which provides you with healthy but enjoyable meals. In relation to eating carbohydrates you are going to see that this is not something you are going to have the ability to do during the first phase of this program. Something I should point out is that the carbohydrates you are not allowed to eat are going to include such things as rice, pasta or bread, but you ought to also realize that this includes things such as ice cream and candy as well. For many people this is not going to be a difficult diet to follow as long as you like and eggs, meats, vegetables and different sorts of cheese, which is all you are permitted to eat for the first two weeks.
After the first 2 weeks you will move on to the second phase which will continue for up to six weeks or until you in fact reach your weight loss goal and during this stage you'll have the ability to slowly add carbohydrates back into your diet. One of the greatest things relating to this diet program is that you're going to learn what good carbs are and how to add them back into your diet. High fat foods won't be permitted when you're adding the carbohydrates back into your diet which is something you ought to comprehend about phase two. Throughout phase two you'll be balancing your diet till you have achieved the weight of your goal. When you finally reach stage three of this diet program you're going to find that this stage maintains your weight loss and will be very easy to follow.
You're additionally going to find it'll be very easy to adhere to the third phase of this program mainly because you have changed your eating habits already. Changing the way you think of food along with your eating habits will be a thing that is vitally important in relation to maintaining your weight loss. Your old eating habits will be just that, a thing of the past, as you will be feeling so good about yourself with the weight loss you have achieved already. By changing the way you look at food and maintaining a healthy diet you are going to discover that this program will end up being incredibly successful.
Something you ought to understand about this program is you can in fact find many reviews and success stories concerning this program. This not only shows you precisely how to eat healthy, but also what portions you need to be eating which means it is a good diet if you would like to learn to eat the appropriate foods.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Lawmakers in Los Angeles made news six years ago when they put limits on renovated houses they called "homes on steroids." Now they are being told that law is failing because it has too many loopholes.
As builders buy smaller, older homes, raze them and replace them with mansion-like houses, homeowners complain it's destroying the feel of established neighborhoods, depressing prices and reigniting bitter fence fights.
Neighborhood groups tell the Los Angeles Times the rules are too porous. Designers get extra square feet for being environmentally friendly or having certain scaling on home facades and upper floors.
Builder Amnon Edri says if city code allows a project and you want a bigger house, you should have a bigger house because this is America, a free country.

Schubert Sonata D958, Leif Ove Andsnes. This is finally the rendition of this sonata I've been looking for. With the instincts of a snake charmer Andsnes nails the balance between mysterious distance and sudden assertion and achieves terribilitas. The finale's death-dance some serious head-nod shit.
Which reminds me, we were discussing Mussorgsky's solo piano Pictures yesterday; if you have an aversion to 1950s bootleg sound quality, Andsnes is a good hi-fi alternative to Richter (very different interpretation of course).

Just noticed that both Decca and EMI have released Delius boxes. Any opinions on either?
― Lil' Kim Philby (Call the Cops), Monday, 19 March 2012 13:44 (3 years ago) Permalink
EMI offers the wider selection of repertoire but the Decca is largely composed of Mackerras' recordings which are uniformly excellent and superbly recorded. There isn't really any top-tier Delius missing from the Decca set IMO (except the tone poem Eventyr), making it a better introduction to my man. But if you're already obsessed with Delius the EMI is a real feast of rarer stuff. I know I want to get it at some point even though I already have the Beecham and Barbirolli material.
BTW, the Danish conductor Bo Holten has now released three geographically-themed Delius discs ('Danish Masterworks', "Norwegian Masterworks" and the new "English Masterworks") which are all fantastic; he may some to supplant Mackerras as the Delius master of the digital era. The Norwegian one is especially killer: Eventyr and Song Of The High Hills on one disc!

Part of it, of course, is how he's recorded-- that wonderful Connoiseur Society E. Alan Silver type sound where the attack of each note is like a sweet 'ping'. See most everything recorded by Ivan Moravec before the digital era.

A further word-- I don't know if you like your Delius on the lively end (a la mono-era Beecham) or on the languorous wallowy end (a la Barbirolli)-- I prefer the former, and that's what Mackerras brings (but unhurried and with plenty of rubato).

Persephone. The one big Stravinsky piece that just fell through the cracks of popularity somehow. But so great. Elliott Carter called it 'the humanist Rite of Spring'. Elliott Carter OTM. It's got so much charm. Maybe it never caught on because it has a narrator.
All-time I don't think there have been more than 5 or 6 commercial recordings of it. My favorite isn't even one of them-- it's a radio broadcast from the BBC I downloaded off a new group, Andrew Davis conducting. Right now I'm listening to the work's second recording-- Andre Cluytens conducting, mono, a vinyl rip off a dude's blog a couple of years ago.

Battalia à 10 D-dur, C.61 (1673)01:43 - 2. Allegro: "Die liederliche Gesellschaft von allerey Humor"
Biber's Battalia (1673) is a rare precedent, with its quodlibet of eight different folksongs in five different keys, representing the songs of the soldiers encamped before the battle.
― Milton Parker, Thursday, 22 March 2012 01:01 (3 years ago) Permalink
Wow! A precedent for Ives, yeah? I've been seeing references to this piece for years but never heard it til now (though I have listened to the Rosary Sonatas).

The more I listen to Biber, the more I flip out, this guy was centuries ahead. the alternative tuning work in the Rosary Sonata, the extended technique to emulate Bird & Frog songs in 'Sonata Representiva', and... now this completely bonkers Ives moment
and of course when he plays it straight, which is most of the time, it is just transcendental, been listening to 'Rosary Sonatas' a lot this last year

Interview grabs from the internets:
Further research into the baroque violin repertoire led him to the "Mystery Sonatas" of Heinrich Biber, whose bold scordatura tunings had a marked effect on the young man: "I perceived Biber's music as having been constructed according to timbre, not melody.... Biber had completely reformulated the basis for music composition, around timbre."
A chance discovery of Heinrich Ignaz Franz Bibers's "Mystery Sonatas" with their inventive constructions around timbre as opposed to melody had a transformative effect. "For the first time, my violin sounded truly wonderful. It rang, and sang, and spoke in a rich soulful voice – the timbre of the instrument… My body merged with the body of the violin; our resonances melted together in rich dark colors, harsh bright headlights. Slower; slower."

As well as the Delius anniversary sets mentioned above, this year also sees the release of four Debussy boxes. Can anyone offer an appraisal of one or more of them?
The Decca piano set is comprised of previously released Thibaudet recordings IIUC. Would be tempted, given the rosaries and star accolades, etc. were it not for the fact that I've been tracking down Paul Jacobs' recordings on the back of this thread...
― Lil' Kim Philby (Call the Cops), Saturday, 7 April 2012 08:36 (3 years ago) Permalink
Don't bother with the Sony IMO. The only first rate performances in there are the Boulez Pelleas + orchestral works.
The DG/Universal Debussy Edition surprised me, but then I remembered DG now folds in the Decca and Philips catalogs as well, and this box includes things from some independent French labels too. A lot of great recordings and very intelligently anthologized. This is the best of these 4 sets IMO.
The mostly Thibaudet piano box-- for great modern Debussy playing I would urge you toward the Bavouzet discs on Chandos. There were five of them. If they haven't boxed them yet I'm sure they will. Thibaudet is really good too, but not on Bavouzet's level.
Leave that Gieseking set til later. In the Preludes, the sound quality almost kills some of the most inspired piano playing ever. I hate you Walter Legge for engineering WG in a cardboard box. EMI keeps remastering these but they'll never sound alive. Seek the Gieseking volume in the Great Pianists Of The 2oth Century series-- one disc has his 1930s Debussy recordings and they sound much better than EMI's 1950s ones.

It's hard to know what you heard; Delius deployed chorus in a variety of ways. Was it chorus unaccompanied or orchestra with chorus? Here are some stabs in the dark:
Appalachia - This is a long orchestral work in variation form which brings in the chorus for a big finale ("Honey I am goin' down the river in the mornin'/Hey-oh hey-oh down the mighty river..."). It's based on a spiritual tune from the american south. I recommend Mackerras or Barbirolli for this.
Song Of The High Hills - Probably the most sublime, mysterious & evanescent thing Delius ever did. The apex of his pantheist mode. Mostly orchestral; the chorus is used as a wordless element of the instrumental fabric a la Debussy's Nocturnes. Recommend Mackerras, Fenby or Bo Holten for this.
A Mass Of Life - This is much more choral-centered in the oratorio style. Big and lumbering, with text drawn from Nietzsche's Zarathustra, it was supposed to be a kind of atheist's mass. I've never clicked with this piece. People usually recommend Hickox for it.
Songs of Sunset/Songs of Farewell - These are structured like songs but the chorus carries a lot of the weight. Extremely chromatic, to a fault if you ask me, but they include some heart-piercing moments. Hickox with Bryn Terfel and Sally Burgess is a good choice for these.
Sea Drift - Included on the same Hickox disc with the previous item, this is a fantastic setting of a Whitman poem about sad seagulls for solo voice plus chorus and orchestra. Definitely deserves its status as a greatest hit.
Also, to roll with Delius at all you're gonna have to come to grips with the pastoralist thing. Replace the cartoon deer and bluebirds with the real thing and get inside their skins; this kind of aural nature poetry was not a quaint picture postcard thing for Delius but a subject of the deepest intensity.
(By the way C I think you mean Hickox not Handley? Handley did his share of Delius but not much of the choral stuff iirc?)

Ideas that prove too expensive for widespread use in the developing world, or those that don't do the job of preventing pregnancy or disease transmission will be dismissed right off the bat.
Build A Better Condom
"The primary drawback from the male perspective is that condoms decrease pleasure as compared to no condom," says the Foundation's description of the challenge. So a "next-generation" condom would, perhaps, find some way to increase sensation as to get men to wear them more often — purely in the name of global health, of course.
Female condoms, meanwhile, "suffer from some of the same liabilities as male condoms, require proper insertion training and are substantially more expensive than their male counterparts," says the Foundation. So a cheaper, simpler female condom might also help reduce the number of unwanted pregnancies and spread of STIs, including HIV/AIDS.
Ideas for a better condom and other global health innovations are being accepted at GrandChallenges.org. Read more at Mashable.

Contrary to what some have been hoping for, the future of Africa looks to be bloodier than its past. The reasons for this are as vast and varied as the continent itself, such as resources (oil, water, land, minerals), economic interests of external powers (growth, trade, monetary policy), and ideological differences (structure of governments, corruption, tradition, ethnicity).
One of the main reasons that this scramble for Africa has intensified in the last few years and will most likely continue to escalate for the next few decades is because western nations are losing major battles on multiple other fronts. Just to name a few: the coalition of the willing has lost Iraq as well as Afghanistan; Syria is a stalemate; Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, Libya, Algeria, Congo, and Mali are a disaster; Bahrain is in lockdown; Latin America is freeing itself from U.S.

Jay and Silent Bob Get Old Goes LIVE from IGN Theater on Friday, October 14th!!
Norwalk, CT, June 8, 2011: Noted filmmaker, comic book writer, and internet radio personality Kevin Smith, who first appeared at New York Comic Con (NYCC) when the convention debuted in 2006, will return to NYCC in 2011 with television and film actor Jason Mewes. Smith and Mewes will appear together on Friday, October 14th at 7:00pm in the IGN Theater for a live performance of their popular podcast Jay and Silent Bob Get Old. Fans who are interested in attending the live performance must have a New York Comic ticket and also purchase an additional ticket to the podcast. All ticket prices are based on seating location: $50 for prime seats with a pre-signed item, $35 for second tier seating, and $10 for general admission. Tickets will go on sale June 15th and further information about ticket prices and seating locations will be available at the website. All NYCC Ultimate VIP ticket holders will be provided a free ticket to the live podcast.
Beginning with the 1994 independent film Clerks, director Kevin Smith and longtime friend Jason Mewes have worked together on several films, often playing the fictional duo Jay and Silent Bob. The act has evolved into Jay and Silent Bob Get Old, a wildly successful weekly live show and podcast for Smith's growing podcast network. The show, which is frequently broadcast from The Jon Lovitz Comedy Club, at Universal CityWalk, has also played to numerous audiences at various venues throughout the country. This will be the first-ever live performance of Jay and Silent Bob Get Old at a comic convention.
"I am enormously excited to announce this performance at New York Comic Con," notes Lance Fensterman, Group Vice President for ReedPOP and Show Manager for NYCC. "Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes are insanely funny and their appearance at our show is nothing short of huge. We will not only have a packed house, and a terrific live performance for all our fans, but this sets the tone for the weekend. New York Comic Con is not just about 'meet and greets' but also about providing the very best in leading edge comedy and entertainment. This live performance of Jay and Silent Bob Get Oldraises the bar considerably and is testimony to the type of entertainment that we will be hosting at NYCC in the future."
Tickets for NYCC are now on sale via the website www.NewYorkComicCon.com. Limited 4-Day tickets are available. For further information about all ReedPOP shows and activity, please visit Lance Fensterman's blog, www.MediumAtLarge.net. Convention organizers note that many guests will be announced over the next few weeks and months and fans should keep their eyes on NYCC's website and blog for additional comics, entertainment and anime announcements.
Smith has spent nearly twenty years as a writer/director making Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy, Dogma, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, Jersey Girl, Clerks II, Zack and Miri Make a Porno, Cop Out and his newest film Red State, which premiered at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival.
Mystifyingly, Smith also sports three DVD releases of his various college Q&A's (An Evening with Kevin Smith; An Evening with Kevin Smith 2: Evening Harder; A Threevening with Kevin Smith) as well as an EPIX Original Q&A special Kevin Smith: Too Fat For 40.
He's published two books full of essays and blog postings (Silent Bob Speaks and The New York Times bestselling My Boring-Ass Life), as well as Shootin' the Sh*t with Kevin Smith – a collection of the best material from SModcast, Smith and producer Scott Mosier's weekly podcast.
Aside from the films he's directed, Smith has served as a producer on indie efforts including Bryan Johnson's Lionsgate release Vulgar, multiple Academy Award winner Good Will Hunting, and a pair of Sundance-selected documentaries including Reel Paradise and Small Town Gay Bar.
One of the first filmmakers to venture into cyberspace, Smith has built his fan base primarily on the web, via the thirteen year old binary village at www.viewaskew.com. Smith took the cyberworld by storm when, in February 2007, SModcast debuted online. The back-and-forth banter of Smith and Mosier has kept on for over four years paving the way for the SModcast Podcast Network.
From its January 2010, launch, smodcast.com has grown into a full-fledged network, hosting a full week of original programming featuring SMonsters of Talk, who regularly claim the top slots on the iTunes as the Best Podcasts of 2007 and 2010. Audiences around the world have created a following for many other weekly shows which have also gone on to enormous success. In September 2010, SModcastofficially began playing on SiriusXM's "The Virus" channel, alongside Opie & Anthony and Ron & Fez.
The success of SModcast brought to life Smith's idea of a black box theater in Los Angeles where he and his team could perform live podcasts whenever they wanted. In July 2010 SModcastle – the world's first live podcast theater – opened. SModcastle quickly became the house that 'Babble-On' built. Garman and Smith packed audiences in weekly, routinely selling out the 50 seat venue – a feat matched only by Mewes and Smith when they launched Jay & Silent Bob Get Old.
Smith's podcasting success did not end with SModcastle. In May 2011 S.I.R.: SModcast Internet Radio, premiered with 24 hour a day, seven days a week programming featuring live and archived Smodcast Network programs. The S.I.R. suite of shows is available through www.smodcast.com and Stitcher's free mobile and iPad™apps.
And if film and digital domination aren't enough, there's always retail: Smith owns a comic book store named Jay and Silent Bob's Secret Stash in Red Bank, New Jersey.
As for the hood ornaments he's collected, there's plenty of tin on display: the Filmmaker's Trophy at Sundance for Clerks; the Prix de la Jeunesse and the International Critic's Week Awards at the Cannes Film Festival, also for Clerks. He also has an Independent Spirit Award for Best Screenplay for Chasing Amy, and a Humanitas Award for Good Will Hunting. Smith also received the Defender of Democracy Award from Norman Lear's People for the American Way organization for his production of Dogma. Clerks II won both the prestigious Audience Award at the Edinburgh Film Festvial as well as the Orbit Dirtiest Mouth Moment at the MTV Movie Awards. For his writing in the comics field, Smith has received a Harvey Award, a Wizard Fan Award, an Eagle Award, and saw his Green Arrow: Quiver named as one of 2003's Best Books for Young Adults by the American Library Association's Young Adult Library Service. In the fall of 2002, the town of Paulsboro in New Jersey named a street after him: Kevin Smith Way. In 2004, the Video Software Dealers Association gave Smith the DVD Visionary Award, and in 2005, he collected the Independent Spirit Award from Britain's Empire Magazine. In April of 2006, this award-whore was given UCLA's Jack Benny Award for Comedy, and in 2008, Smith was given the Maverick Award by the Woodstock Film Festival, as well as the Vision Award from the DGA-affiliated Filmmaker's Alliance.
But he'd chuck it all for his wife and kid. Smith married wife Jennifer in April '99 and celebrated the birth of their daughter, Harley Quinn, in June of that same year. The wedding was not white, to say the least.
A New Jersey born and bred actor, who burst onto the cinema screens in 1994, playing the voice half of the on-screen comedy duo of Jay and Silent Bob, Mewes' cult-fan's beloved character "Jay" in his long time friend's (Kevin Smith) award winning Clerks.
Mewes would continue on the role of "Jay" in a series of indie hits-Mallrats, Chasing Amy, Dogma, and later Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.
In 2006, the View Askew team went back to the well and Clerks II hit movie screens. Once again Mewes reprised the role of the fast-talking, foul mouthed and over sexed but very likable "Jay" to go on to win MTV's Dirtiest Mouth Award in 2007.
Moving beyond "Jay", Mewes has completed various commercials, music videos, and animated features as Jason's unique voice has added color and dimension to a variety of entertainment media, including video games.

Dan Mann began building custom boards in 1996. Over the last 18 years, he has been at the cutting edge of surfboard shaping and innovation including all aspects of board building. In addition to building his own brand Mannkine, Dan has shaped and glassed boards for Channel Islands, glassed for Rusty, Xanadu, and Joel Tudor. Since then he has become the head of Design and Research & Development for Firewire Surfboards. His designs include the best selling Dominator, Sweet Potato, Potatonator, Baked Potato, and the Unibrow.
Designed by Dan Mann, and perhaps the most versatile board in the Firewire quiver to date, the DOMINATOR combines a full outline with a thick foil from nose to tail and a 5/4/3 fin configuration. Dan moved the wide point back to reduce the nose profile, maintaining all of the speed but with none of the top turn drawbacks of retro nose outlines.
Built with the flex characteristics and lightweight of TIMBER TEK TECHNOLOGY, the DOMINATOR paddles like it's turbo charged and does not track like heavier PU boards with similar dimensions. Take Charge!
"Grom" boards available at special pricing.
TIMBERTEK represents a significant step forward towards the holy grail of any product designed and manufactured in today's environmentally conscious world. While by no means sustainably built, Firewire's TIMBERTEK has by far one of the least toxic and smallest carbon footprints of any commercially available surfboard today..
The combination of a lightweight EPS core, sustainably-grown wood deck skins, Firewire's proprietary parabolic rail construction, and anEntropy bio-resin hot coat yield an extremely lightweight, durable surfboard with ALL of the high performance flex characteristics of Firewire's existing technologies. Even more impressive, the physical properties of the raw materials involved have allowed us to remove exterior fiberglass, furthering the reduction of the board's carbon footprint. Or as we like to describe TIMBERTEK, it's simply High Performance Art.

About Reno Tahoe and Lake Tahoe
Reno Tahoe is more than a mecca for alpine adventure, it's also a place that embraces the quirky, a recreational area where you can confidentially stroll off the beaten track and be rewarded with unique experiences.
Located in the heart of the American "Wild West", Reno Tahoe has always been…far beyond all expectations. What began as a small community built to serve westward travelers in the mid-1800s, Reno has become a bustling city that acts as a gateway to outdoor adventure in Nevada and northern California. Within an hour's drive, there are ski resorts, golf courses, the old state capital of Carson City, several lakes, beautiful rivers and thousands of hiking and cycling trails and the beautiful Truckee River, which runs right through the center of Reno.
While the region has always set value on the numerous recreational opportunities – everything from skiing, to kayaking, hiking and cycling – there's also a calmer side to our little corner of the Sierra. Visitors here will find an increasing revival of the city center, completed by a sprouting arts district, shopping heaven throughout Reno Tahoe and endless hotspots to dance the night away.
Within a short drive is Virginia City, one of Nevada's first settlements and once the home to author Mark Twain. Here, lovers of history can be taken back in times of cowboy saloons and preserved buildings.
No visit to Reno Tahoe is complete without a visit to the shores of the "Jewel of the Sierra", the Lake Tahoe.

Where can I get CUE Sheets and M3U's?
I have ripped FLAC files (single files for each song) I am converting to MP3. I would like to find online CUE Sheets and M3U's for the albums for these songs.

OK I'm trying to get a handle on this CUE Sheet and M3U thing.
When I ripped my CD collection with EAC to FLAC it created both (CUE and M3U). I'm still not quite sure why or for what.
So I've been playing those albums/songs via my PC using mostly Foobar2000, but not getting to into F2k too deeply, just playing albums/songs once in a while.
Anyway now I'm want to put my collection to my phone. It is an Android and I'm using PowerAmp to play my music. When I first started putting music to my phones SD card my Windows 7 PC asked if I wanted to convert the FLAC files, as it was recommended I chose this option. It turned the files into wmav2. Not sure why it did this, or if I should have chosen this option, but I did.
All of those albums don't show up in the Artist list or Genres list. I'm wondering if they would have if I would have just transferred them as the FLAC files.
I have now converted some of the files with Foobar2000 to MP3, as I think this is best for the space I will need, and the ones I've done so far show up in the Artist listing of the PowerAmp app. There are other listing options Genres that I'd like to have for categorization too.
For all I know maybe I don't need a CUE or M3U for use with PowerAmp app. But I read somewhere that they are useful.
Just trying to get a handle on this stuff.

One thing I don't understand is why LeRoy Butler isn't getting more run for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
The former Green Bay Packers star has been eligible for the Hall since 2006 but has never received strong consideration despite being arguably the best safety of his generation. That snub makes no sense because, among other things, Butler was:
• The third-best player, behind Brett Favre and the late Reggie White, on one of the NFL's dominant teams of the 1990s, a team that averaged 11 wins per season from 1992 through '98 and split its two Super Bowl appearances. ...

just registered for my first tri and the swimming and cycling distances look relatively short compared to the run - not in terms of time but just general effort.
does a runner feel similarly about a 6 mile run as a cyclist feels about a 25 mile ride? like you'd get a response like "6 miles? yeah that's my short loop really - i hardly ever do less than 6 miles and i don't even need to stretch aftwards really unless i push myself."
.. because i can imagine a swimmer saying that about the 1.5k swim and i could say that about the bike and i'm relatively slow compared to most folks here.
just curious.

At 79, Penny Starr a burlesque legend
ALLENTOWN — It's one thing to imagine meeting a 79-year-old exotic dancer, but quite another to actually meet one.
You anticipate brass, glitter and feathers, maybe a cigarette in an ebony holder. But you get a smiley, chatty suburbanite who drives a Honda and would look perfectly at home answering the phone in a dentist's office.
"Watch the dogs," Penny Starr said, opening the front door of her west Allentown home and gamely trying to admit a visitor while holding back her whirling, barking springer spaniels, Georgia, Savannah and Jessie.
Starr, whose real name is Penny Roberts, wore black pants and a black top — not a sequin or boa in sight — and sat almost primly on a living room chair as she recounted a dancing career as eyebrow-raising in its 55th year as it was in its first.
As noted, she is 79, and most women of that age are active in social clubs and church groups, perhaps, but very few are active in burlesque.
Roberts, however, performed at the Burlesque Hall of Fame Weekend in Las Vegas just three months ago with her 43-year-old granddaughter, a dancer who took the name Penny Starr Jr. in her honor. They danced to "Harlem Nocturne," one of the elder performer's favorites.
"I think I'm one of the oldest girls, yes," Roberts said.
She mentioned 84-year-old Tempest Storm and a couple of others on the senior circuit but was clearly more interested in talking about the art of burlesque than her longevity.
That's because she is eager for people to know that she is not a stripper but an exotic dancer — one who tells stories through peekaboo routines that leave the essentials to the imagination.
"There's a difference," she said. "We're dancers — but no pole dancing. And everything is covered."
She lamented how she had lost most of her vintage items — costumes, high heels and other finery from her 1960s heyday — in a 1995 house fire. When she was honored by the Hall of Fame in June, she was unable to donate anything beyond a recent costume.
The woman who became Penny Starr was born Janet Gaynor Colby in Allentown. She had a quiet childhood, graduating from Allentown High School in 1951 and marrying soon after.
She said she did some modeling at Hess's department store at the behest of Max Hess but put off her dream of going into show business after having two children with the first in a line of husbands — six of them, a string that ended when she met her true love and current husband, Aaron, 17 years ago.
When Roberts reached 27, her life took a turn that sounds like the plot line from a lost John O'Hara novel. Her children were school-aged, her husband had left, and she was restless. Talking to a doctor one day, she mentioned her long-deferred ambition to be onstage.
Roberts worked the East Coast circuit, dancing far from Allentown out of deference to her children but making a name for herself in coal-region clubs and in Atlantic City.
"Put in there that I was named Miss Bump-and-Grind of '63," she said. "That was in the Cotton Club in Atlantic City."
It was a good living. Roberts' granddaughter, Parkland High School graduate Augusta Avallone, studied burlesque history and culture as a documentary filmmaker before becoming a well-known performer.
Avallone said her grandmother is held in high regard in the business.
"We're very respectful of what we call our legends," she said.
"In her day, women who disrobed in public were pariahs."
Now they are considered trailblazers, though that makes it sound like Roberts' best days are behind her. She doesn't plan to stop dancing any time soon.
"If I can walk, I'll dance," she said. "And I'm not giving my high heels up for anyone."
"We're talking about a time when nightclubs still paid for entertainment," said Avallone, 43, who lives in Hollywood, Calif. "She could make $500 a night for three shows. Nowadays the going rate might be about $50."
What changed the nightclub pay scale, Avallone said, was the advent of rock 'n' roll bands — youngsters who would play clubs cheaply for exposure as they pursued record contracts.
Avallone, who graduated from Temple University with a film degree and immediately headed west, said she found out only recently that her grandmother would often babysit her by taking her to shows, leaving her in the care of another dancer while she performed.
Burlesque "was in my blood without me knowing," she said.
It was a natural topic for a documentary, so Avallone spent three years following and filming dancers in Los Angeles, New York, New Orleans and elsewhere.
With an eye toward publicizing the film — "The Velvet Hammer Burlesque" — she learned a few dance routines by cribbing them from old movies and made her professional debut in 2003, taking the name Penny Starr Jr.
Four years later, they performed together for the first time, dancing in top hats and tails to Paul Anka's version of Van Halen's "Jump." They are, apparently, the only grandmother-granddaughter striptease act.

Pepsi Qualifier Series presented by ClubCorp
PGA Golf Club, North Course
Port St. Lucie, Florida
July 14, 2001
Weather halts play for nearly five hours
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. - David Cosper of Clearwater,
Fla., and Joe Morton of Waycross, Ga., each fired 3-under-par
69s Saturday to share medalist honors at the AJGA Henry-Griffitts
Junior at PGA Golf Club Qualifier.
The 18-hole qualifier, part of the Pepsi Qualifier
Series presented by ClubCorp, was conducted by the American
Junior Golf Association and featured 55 players representing
10 states, including 43 Florida residents. The event,
held at the PGA Golf Club, North Course, was delayed
for nearly five hours due to inclement weather.
Cosper, who will play golf at the University of Florida
next fall, used five birdies, including three on the
front, en route to his 69. The 18-year-old made the
turn at 2-under-par after birdies on Nos. 3, 4 and 6
before playing the back nine in 1-under-par fashion,
including a key birdie on the par-4, 430-yard 18th hole.
"I was able to knock a six-iron from about 185-feet
out of a fairway bunker to within six-feet of the hole,"
Cosper said about his birdie on No. 18. "That really
got me going.
"I just need to get my driver going again. That
has been the only crutch in my game the last few weeks.
If I can get that going again, I know I can take it
Morton, who carded four birdies in his round, was equally
impressive, making the turn at 2-under-par 34 before
consecutive birdies on Nos. 14 and 15 put him at 1-under-par
on the back nine.
"I really played solid all-around today,"
Morton, 17, said. "I was 1-over-par on the par-5s,
but was able to make a few birdies to overcome that.
I would just like to keep up my play and try to make
fewer mistakes."
Federico Salazar of Delray, Fla., finished third at
35-36-71 while Tyler Clippard of Trinity, Fla., was
fourth at 34-39-73. Steven Bain of Lake Mary, Fla.,
Ralph Martello of White Lake, Mich., and Mathew Lyons
of Lakeland, Fla., each qualified after tying for fifth
at 74. Chris Anderson of Lake Mary, Fla., and Brandon
Wheeler of Coral Springs, Fla., rounded out the remaining
spots after qualifying on the first hole of a sudden-death
The AJGA Henry-Griffitts Junior at Abacoa begins Tuesday,
July 17, with tee times running from 7-9 a.m. of the
first and 10th tees.

Ardene was received into heaven by her Lord and Savior at the age of 89 on Saturday, December 15, 2012 at her son's home, surrounded by family. She entered life in Goshen, Oregon on November 3, 1923, the daughter of William Henry and Lydia Lucille (Hubbard) McLain.
Many activities were enjoyed by Ardene including, gardening, sewing, painting beautiful landscapes, crafts, doll collecting, driving her sporty cars, riding motorcycles with son in law, Nick, and especially dancing at the Moose and Eagles Clubs. For many years, she was an active member of the Women's Moose Auxiliary. In her retirement years, she enjoyed traveling and volunteering to help older friends with shopping and doctor appointments. Ardene loved her family and family get-togethers. She was an excellent mother, always generous and caring and loved dearly by her family. In later years, she also enjoyed the companionship of her cat, Andy, and her dog, Gracie, who helped extend her life with friendship and love.
Ardene was a veteran of the U.S. Navy, serving honorably during WWII in Seattle as a Storekeeper Second Class. While serving in the Navy, she met Alex Alfred Hammell and they were married in Seattle on March 23, 1946. Ardene worked for many years with Al in his electric motor shop business which was on their property south of Roseburg. Later, she worked for many years at the V.A. Medical Center, retiring from the Engineering Dept. office.
Surviving Ardene are her son Steve Hammell and wife, Mary and daughter Leslie Bardaville and husband, Nick, all of Roseburg, and Debra Duperroir and husband, Alec of Quartzsite, Arizona, granddaughter, Sandi Hammell and great grandchildren, Ian, Isaac and Jacklyn. Ardene was preceded in death by Al, her parents William and Lucille McLain, brothers Delbert, Willis, Don and grandson, Michael Vance Metzger.
A special thanks and blessings for the wonderful help the family received during Ardene's care from caregivers Kim, Misha, Becky, Leah and the Hospice team, nurse Toni and aide, Pam.
A family memorial will be held at a later time.

Nikon to bundle T-Mobile Wi-Fi with next COOLPIX
updated 12:45 pm EDT, Thu September 13, 2007
T-Mobile Wi-Fi for Nikon
Nikon has announced that its upcoming COOLPIX S51c camera, due later this month, will come with a special subscription offer to promote its wireless functions. Users will be able sign up for a free six-month period of T-Mobile's HotSpot, a series of about 8,500 Wi-Fi points located in places such as airports, Borders, Kinko's and Starbucks. This will then allow people to send photos and video directly from the camera, using Nikon's my Picturetown service to guide the photos towards e-mail, websites like Flickr, or owners of BlackBerry phones.
The S51c is an 8.1-megapixel camera, and has features such as ISO 1600 sensitivity and the EXPEED image processor used in the D300. Its lens has 3x optical zoom, and uses a mechanical image stabilizer to reduce blur. Pricing is set at $330.

I was on the computer at about 3pm and felt what I thought was the house move from a wind gust. I knew it was pretty windy outside but this one gust was big. It got me out of my chair to check it out. I first looked out the front window to investigate but didn't see anything but as soon as I peered through the back window there it was, about a 30-35 foot tree laying in my above ground pool. It had crushed the side of the pool and emptied about half the water out instantly (about 4-5,000 gals.) flooding my back yard. We have insurance and hopefully will have it all back together for summer fun. I'm sure that there is alot of stories like this out of this wind storm.

Lear Corporation
Positive Review
Stock Review
Lear, like many companies in the auto industry, is enjoying a rebirth. The industry unraveled in 2009, as vehicle shipments in North America plummeted to just 8.6 million units, from over 15 million just two years earlier - a staggering 43% decline. This hit hard on the domestic auto industry, which over the years was saddled with over-capacity, excessive debt, uncompetitive labor agreements, and shifting tastes towards Asian brands, notably Toyota (TM). General Motors (GM) and Chrysler both filed for bankruptcy protection, and Ford (F) barely escaped.
Similar issues confronted Lear. The tremendous troubles at GM and Ford (Lear's 2 largest customers) gutted sales. Lear itself suffered from labor issues, unprofitable business units, and a heavy debt burden, forcing it into Chapter 11 bankruptcy in July of 2009.
The company has emerged as a much more attractive entity. The debt load is down to a more managable $700 million, which is covered over two times by cash ($1.8 billion), and has no maturities until 2018. Interest coverage is more than comfortable at 17 times. The unprofitable interiors business was divested and the majority of labor in both Seating and EPMS was moved to low-cost locales overseas. Lear's robust health now is demonstrated by its commitment to return capital to shareholders, with the initiation of a small (1.2%) dividend, and a $400 million share repurchase program, in addition to a stock split earlier this year.
Going forward, Lear is well-positioned to thrive for the near future. North America auto sales rebounded to 12 million units last year, and is expected to show about 5% annual growth through 2016. Auto sales in emerging markets (a focus for this company) continue to be robust. China, for example, is growing auto sales volume almost 30% annually, and is now a bigger market than North America at over 14 million units. Lear expects the BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, China) market to expand a robust 9% annually through 2016. With sales to nearly every major auto maker, and one of only 2 global suppliers of auto seating (Johnson Controls (JCI) is the other), Lear is well-positioned to benefit.
With sales growth comes higher margins, as this is a high fixed-cost business. For example, management is forecasting the EPMS business to grow operating margin from 4.7% last year to about 5.5% this year on ~25% sales growth, and expanding to nearly 8% by 2013. If they can hit those targets, Lear shareholders will benefit greatly.
Let's not forget the risks here, though. Europe is still in a credit crisis, and it is Lear's largest market at over 40% of sales. Recessionary fears have plagued the stock market all summer, and auto companies traditionally get killed in a recession. The company still has 52,000 unionized workers, which sets up the potential for work stoppages and collective bargaining renegotiation pains. And a new CEO just took over at the beginning of this month, replacing 40-year veteran Robert Rossiter. While Matthew Simoncini has held high positions at Lear (most recently CFO), executive turnover in difficult industries like this does create some risk.
Overall, I believe the restructuring and rebound in the auto industry makes this a better area to invest than in the past, and the proliferation of new electronic gadgets and hybrid/electric powertrains create a nice opportunity for this company. My fair value is about $55, representing a nice 30%+ upside to current trading prices. I'd like to see even a bit more cushion before considering the stock as a Top Buy pick, however.

|Little effect of transfer technique instruction and physical fitness training in reducing low back pain among nurses: a cluster randomised intervention study.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 18803093 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a transfer technique education programme (TT) alone or in combination with physical fitness training (TTPT) compared with a control group, who followed their usual routine. Eleven clinical hospital wards were cluster randomised to either intervention (six wards) or to control (five wards). The intervention cluster was individually randomised to TT (55 nurses) and TTPT (50 nurses), control (76 nurses). The transfer technique programme was a 4-d course of train-the-trainers to teach transfer technique to their colleagues. The physical training consisted of supervised physical fitness training 1 h twice per week for 8 weeks. Implementing transfer technique alone or in combination with physical fitness training among a hospital nursing staff did not, when compared to a control group, show any statistical differences according to self-reported low back pain (LBP), pain level, disability and sick leave at a 12-month follow-up. However, the individual randomised intervention subgroup (transfer technique/physical training) significantly improved the LBP-disability (p = 0.001). Although weakened by a high withdrawal rate, teaching transfer technique to nurses in a hospital setting needs to be thoroughly considered. Other priorities such as physical training may be taken into consideration. The current study supports the findings of other studies that introducing transfer technique alone has no effect in targeting LBP. However, physical training seems to have an influence in minimising the LBP consequences and may be important in the discussion of how to prevent LBP or the recurrence of LBP among nursing personnel.

At a time when we desperately need jobs in the United States, it seems immoral for GE to seek cheap labor in India. I sold my stock in GE a long time ago because of their numerous scandels, most notably their past accounting practices, and dealings with Iran. GE has also been a little too close to MSNBC in the past.
of course GE has been close to MSNBC....They own them! While I think GE is a corrupt enterprise, you need to learn your facts pal.
We need to look at this more objectively. If a US company needs to prosper globally, we need to have products that are made in these markets for these markets. This will help achieve local & acceptable pricing leading to a wider distribution of these products.
Secondly, if these products meet or exceed US FDA standards and can indeed lower our Health care costs, why not... Lower HC equipment costs (if managed well) should benefit every one ...
Keep importing more foreign goods.Great for the developing countries,bad for the U.S.Have you noticed our trade deficeit for the last 30 years.What is good for Big Business is not always good for the country!Helping other countries to raise their standard of living has been at the expense of ours.How much profit is enough?30 years ago most of what we now import was made here.For every high tec company that has expaned there are several U.S companies that have gone under.Great free trade,what about fair trade?
If GE owns MSNBC, that explains their left leaning agenda and ties with the current administration. I believe GE recently signed a treaty NOT to do any more business with Iran. However, they still have a corrupt past.
GE is not loosing anything in this deal. India is importing nuclear reactors for energy and defense equipment from the US that will generate jobs in America for decades to come. The jobs that may be lost in GE-Healthcare are compensated with more jobs in GE-Energy and GE-Commercial businesses. How is this not fair trade?
I wish people would look at the big picture.Do you think India would be buying reactors or defense equipment from GE if they could make it themselves.Yet we buy things that we made here for years from others because the labor costs are cheaper.You cannot compete with labor that works for $5/hr and no benefits all you do is to lower your standard of living to compete.If companies want to manufacture oversees because of labor costs let them sell those products there.We need to start clean manufacturung here to create jobs.All of our dollars going oversees does nothing for our economy .Cheaper goods are great but what happens when people do not have jobs to pay for them!
Apparently GE wants to go the way of GM. Get rid of as many local amployees as possible, then act shocked when there are no longer any local customers. Probably a good thing, since none of these bloated corporations can survive without welfare anyway - I'm thinking GE Capital here.
Re: Manair24, What will help everyone is growth and creation of jobs here in the UNITED STATES ! We need to be focusing on GROWING the economy instead of messing up 1/6 of the economy. If we created a climate in the U.S. ( ie. lower taxes, fewer mandates, tort reform, etc.) perhaps business would stay in the U.S.. More government involvement in health care, increased taxes, and punitive mandates don't help the economy. Just look at California, They raised their taxes, created a hostile climate for business and now they are broke. Creating a state dependent mentality of new entitlements doesn't help the economy either.
