Iran releases Shahnameh-inspired computer game
The National Foundation for Computer Games (NFCG) has released its recent game adapted from the story narrated in the Persian epic poet's magnum opus, The Shahnameh. Produced at the Sourena Game Studio, the computer game Siavash which is inspired by a story of Ferdowsi's The Shahnameh with the same title, was released at the second Matrix video games competitions in Tehran.
In an attempt to introduce Persian culture narrated in old texts, the game focuses on how Siavash, one of the commanders in the army of Turan, was killed by Afrasiab, the king of Turan and how his son Kai-Khosrow avenges his father's death.Rostam and Sohrab is a Persian epic-inspired animation that has been recently produced by Kianoush Dalvand. The Fantastic Films International has acquired the global distribution right of the 3D animation. Iran's computer game productions have been warmly received by many European, American and East Asian countries so far. The games have been presented in several international expos such as the renowned European game industry fair, Gamescom, where they won great acclaim by the visitors and experts. Mir Mahna, Hidden Treasure, Mountaineer, Black Gold, The Story of the Island, The Heart of Simorgh and Dream Farm are some of the renowned Iranian computer game productions. The second Matrix video games competitions were held from September 8 to 12, 2012. Over 1000 gamers from around the world attended the event in the Iranian capital of Tehran's permanent International Fairgrounds. FGP/SS

HOLY SHIT SASUNARU IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING!!!!!I'M SERIOUSLY FREAKING OUT RN BECAUSE EVERYTHING I'VE BEEN SAYING SINCE THE START OF NARUTO IS COMING TRUEFUCK WHOEVER SAID THAT SASUKE AND NARUTO WEREN'T GAY FOR EACH.NIGGA, THEM BITCHES ARE LITERALLYFATEDTO BE TOGETHER!!SASUKE IS THE YIN TO NARUTO'S YANG. NARUTO IS THE SUN TO SASUKE'S MOON! THEY ARE THE THIRD REINCARNATIONS OF THE SAGE'S SONS FOR GOD SAKE'S. THEY WERE MEANT TO MEET AND BE TOGETHER!!Like, holy fuck let me settle down for second Goddamn. I wish I knew Masashi personally so I could kiss the fuck out of him and bake him some cookies and shit like holy shitHe just confirmed my OTP I can't do this rn hold on lemme breathe a secNow I can honestly tell those rude SasuSaku/NaruSaku/SasuHina and NaruHina shippers that told me SasuNaru would never happen because it's a shounen manga and everyone knows that in shounen the het pairing always wins out to go FUCK
Girl, you need Jesus Ch 12"Damn!" Naruto yelled after his voice cracked for the second time. He turned and punched the wall to his left, releasing a frustrated breath. What is up with me today? Why am I so irritated? He wondered. It doesn't even feel like the frustration is my own! Why am I so freaking worried?! He paused the song he'd been working on before taking a step back, breathing in through his nose and out through his mouth slowly. He ran a nervous hand through his hair as he started thinking. This doesn't make sense, He asked himself. I've been practicing non-stop for a week now. His eyes drifted to a framed picture on his tabletop. The photo was of Sasuke and him after their trip to Metrotown. He'd spotted a photo booth when they'd left SilverCity and basically ordered the older teen to take a photograph with him. They'd gone for the "silly" photo, with Naruto

I made the tops from a half ball pan. The bottoms were cupcakes I cut flat then iced, then set the completed "half ball ornament" on top. They're more like a "double cupcake." :) Mmf and royal icing.

UNthink. Somehow we've come to believe that creativity is reserved for the chosen few: the poets, the painters, the writers. The truth is bigger and better than that. Creativity is in all of us. We simply need to rediscover the keys that will unlock our potential. Erik Wahl is an internationally recognized graffiti artist, author and entrepreneur. His on-stage painting seamlessly becomes a visual metaphor for UNthink, pushing you beyond traditional thought patterns and habitual levels of performance. UNthink will inspire you to realize you are capable of so much more than you have been led to believe. UNthink will inject your daily grind with new passion, allowing you to see how your organization wants and needs all of your talents and energies, not just the ones they've been using so far. Monday morning at COLLABORATE is the perfect moment to begin the process of rethinking your life as a blank canvas of limitless opportunity on which to create your masterpiece.

Building for the Future: APIs, Cognitive Computing and Customizing Your Oracle Applications in Cloud
APIs are a critical component to developing ecosystems around technology as well as building modern, born-on-the-cloud Web and mobile applications. Given the popularity of customizing social functionality into Oracle Applications, it should come as little surprise that daily API calls to the more popular social networking platforms number in the billions. For example, today, using new Watson APIs, developers are building new applications, services and APIs for industries like healthcare and travel using natural language processing technology to better understand users. Developers can not only take advantage of Cloud composition capabilities and the rapidly growing API economy, but look forward to new opportunities associated with data-intensive use cases for Oracle Applications. Whether your focus is user interaction, social networks, Internet of Things or healthcare, gain an understanding of the technical and business value and see how your organization can optimize for today and build for the future.

I know the Godless Paladin blog is full of angry ranting against religious fundamentalists, but being an atheist myself, I find myself enjoying them quite a bit. I'm not up to date when it comes to religious nutcases in the USA, but when I read some of the information gathered in the Huckabee-Palin 2012 god's ticket blog post about current politicians, it gives me the shivers. Here I was enjoying the fruits of the Renaissance, living in an Age of Enlightenment, and suddenly I see the dark hydra of ignorance rear its ugly head.

TelePolis writes about Christian fanatics [1], based on the movie Jesus Camp.
Take a look at the pictures and videos.
The 2nd video has a short interview sequence that basically says it all: The goal is to produce stupid fanatics just like they do. Which brings me back to my favorite Christa Wolf quote: "What's the use in fighting a war if you have to take on the traits of your enemies in order to win?"
I mentioned that before, of course. 2004-10-03 USA, 2004-05-14 Israel, 2005-12-08 England Torture, 2004-07-02 Iraq.
Oh and unfortunately, this phenomenon is not only limited to the nation with "the most powerful military in the world" but Europe has its share as well: Jesus Revolution, for example.

Respond to Review of Pepper Tree Veggie Cuisine
by sirhin
Review: This place is a little out of the way for me, but they do serve pretty good food that's fresh, healthy, and delicious. The service is good - perhaps not consistently, but I don't mind - and the fact that you can have the choice of the buffet or order off the menu is nice. The place is also kept clean. My only complaint is that the prices tend to be a little more expensive than I'd like to pay, but considering the area and the rent, I sort of understand. Even so, because there are several veggie/vegan restaurants closer to where I live, I usually go there first instead of driving the 30 minutes here.

ZAGG Inc Reports Financial Results for First Quarter 2013 *Net sales of $51.5 million *Adjusted EBITDA of $6.1 million *GAAP diluted EPS of $0.03 and pro forma diluted EPS of $0.11 *Cash balance of $23.4 million *Paid down $4.4 million on Line of Credit *Repurchased $6.0 million in common stock during the quarter *Company revises revenue and Adjusted EBITDA guidance Business Wire SALT LAKE CITY -- May 02, 2013 ZAGG Inc (NASDAQ: ZAGG), a market leader in innovative mobile device accessories and technologies, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2013. "This was a uniquely challenging quarter in which our results were impacted by a number of circumstances, some that were macro in nature and others that were company specific. Though the company experienced reduced sales, ZAGG also realized benefits to its financial activities through the pay down of our line of credit and the repurchase of company stock," said Randy Hales, president and CEO. "We are working internally to make necessary changes to build a superior company and increase shareholder value over the long-term. While the consequences of these changes in the near-term are challenging, I remain confident that we are building a stronger foundation for growth. Our creative product solutions, go-to-market strategies and diversification of our overall portfolio are what set ZAGG apart from the competition and our retailers have recognized that. In fact, next week a large retail customer will highlight us as one of its top suppliers in 2012 and the first ever in the mobile accessories industry." First Quarter Highlights (first quarter 2013 versus first quarter 2012) *Net sales of $51.5 million versus $55.5 million *Gross margins of 37% versus 49% *Adjusted EBITDA of $6.1 million versus $14.4 million *Generated over $14.0 million in operating cash flow *invisibleSHIELD sales represented 44% of net sales versus 48% *Keyboard sales represented 32% of net sales versus 21% *Repurchased 796,764 shares of ZAGG Inc common stock *Paid down $4.4 million on line of credit First Quarter Results Net sales for the first quarter of 2013 decreased 7% to $51.5 million from $55.5 million in the same quarter last year. Last year's first quarter benefited from product sales in anticipation of the launch of the Apple iPad 3 in early April of 2012, however, there was no significant device launch that impacted the first quarter of 2013. In addition, the Company implemented a strategy to align ourselves with a limited number of key distributors in an effort to better manage channel pricing. As a result, this caused us to end our relationship with some of our distributors who we did not believe were aligned with our pricing strategy. While we signed on new strategic distributors during the quarter, the revenue generated by these new distributors combined with revenue from our previous distributors was below our internal forecast. The Company also experienced lost revenue opportunities related to the invisibleSHIELD EXTREME and ZAGGkeys MINI 9, which ultimately were not well received by customers. Last, as we consolidated our operations and sales force during the first quarter, we missed some first quarter sales opportunities, particularly in the iFrogz audio line, as the sales force transitioned from a brand to customer focus. Revenue by channel was 83% through indirect channels, 12% through ZAGG.com and iFrogz.com, and 5% through the company's mall cart and kiosk programs. Gross profit for the first quarter was $19.0 million or 37% of net sales, versus $26.9 million or 49% of net sales in the first quarter of the prior year. Gross profit as a percentage of sales was impacted by our continued shift in product mix as sales of invisibleSHIELD products, our highest margin product category, decreased as a percentage of overall sales compared to the first quarter of 2012. In addition, gross profit was impacted by an increase in our inventory reserve related to excess inventory and higher than expected airfreight charges incurred during the period. Operating income for the first quarter of 2013 was $2.0 million compared to operating income of $10.2 million for the first quarter of 2012. Net income for the first quarter of 2013 was $0.9 million or $0.03 per diluted share as compared to net income of $5.1 million or $0.16 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2012. Pro forma net income for the first quarter of 2013 was $3.6 million or $0.11 per diluted share as compared to pro forma net income of $8.1 million or $0.26 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2012. Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2013 was $6.1 million versus $14.4 million of Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter of 2012. About Non-GAAP Financial Information ZAGG considers earnings before stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, other expense, and provision for income taxes ("Adjusted EBITDA") to be an important financial indicator of the Company's operational strength and the performance of its business. In addition, ZAGG considers earnings before stock-based compensation expense, amortization, and other expense (excluding cash interest expense), net of tax effects where applicable ("pro forma net income"), to be a valuable metric in respect of the operational performance of the Company. These results should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), but should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. A reconciliation of the differences between Adjusted EBITDA and pro forma net income, and the most comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, is presented under the heading "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Information to GAAP" immediately following the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations included below. Outlook Guidance for 2013 had been revised down to a range for net sales of $274 million - $280 million from the previous range of $313 million - $318 million, and for Adjusted EBITDA of $55 million - $57 million from the previous range of $69 million - $71 million. Conference Call A conference call will be held today at 5:00 p.m. EDT to review these results. Interested parties may access via the Internet on the Company's website at: http://investors.zagg.com. Non-GAAP Financial Disclosure Investors are cautioned that the Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, other expense, and provision for income taxes) and pro forma net income (earnings before stock-based compensation expense, amortization, and other expense [excluding cash interest expense], net of tax effects where applicable) contained in this press release are not financial measures under generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, they should not be construed as alternatives to any other measures of performance determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or as indicators of our operating performance, liquidity or cash flows generated by operating, investing and financing activities, as there may be significant factors or trends that they fail to address. For comparative purposes, we applied an annualized statutory tax rate of 38.25% to derive the pro forma net income and pro forma EPS. We present this financial information because we believe that it is helpful to some investors as a measure of our performance. We caution investors that non-GAAP financial information, by its nature, departs from traditional accounting conventions; accordingly, its use can make it difficult to compare our current results with our results from other reporting periods and with the results of other companies. Safe Harbor Statement This release contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and such forward-looking statements are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. "Forward-looking statements" describe future expectations, plans, results, or strategies and are generally preceded by words such as "may," "future," "plan" or "planned," "will" or "should," "expected," "anticipates," "draft," "eventually" or "projected." You are cautioned that such statements are subject to a multitude of risks and uncertainties that could cause future circumstances, events, or results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements, including the risks that actual results may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, and other risks identified in filings made by the company with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Not what you think! Kim Kardashian and her family have opened their doors to viewers for seven years on reality smash "Keeping Up With the Kardashians," but it turns out not everything the audience sees is, well, real. During a Mobio Insider Q&A with fans on Wednesday, the star admitted the family films fake exteriors of their home for safety reasons.
"My old home in Beverly Hills was really my home and I would get people showing up at all hours ringing my gate and had to call the police on several occasions," Kardashian, 33, said of her safety concerns. "People hopping the gate and scaring me."
"It was so unsafe. The Hollywood star tours would stop by too, because they recognized my home from our show," she continued. "After that we realized how unsafe it is to show the exterior of our homes."

She added, "When we film inside, that's obviously our real home." (Kardashian and her family have been filming at Kris Jenner's Calabasas, Calif., home since Season 1 in 2007.)
Kardashian, her fiance Kanye West, and the couple's 8-month-old daughter North West are currently living at Kris' Calabasas home while renovating their new house. The trio's life inside the "real" interiors of the home are currently being aired in the series' ninth season.

Kardashian's younger sister Khloe, meanwhile, has also joined the neighborhood. Us Weekly exclusively confirmed that Khloe, 29, has purchased Justin Bieber's Calabasas home. Khloe will now be a short distance from Jenner's home and will also be sister Kourtney's new neighbor.

I need to assign channel for each schedule. There can be as many concurrent events as number of channels allocated for the customer. I.e if the customer is allocated 3 channels then he can have 3 concurrent events. If a channel was allocated to a event then the same channel cannot to allocated to another event that falls under same time but the same channel can be allocate to another event if the time differs.
Channel Table
ID Name
1 Name1
2 Name2
3 Name3
Event Table
ID EventName StartTime EndTime ChannelID
1 Event1 11:30AM 12PM 1
2 Event2 11:30AM 11:40AM 2
3 Event3 11:40AM 12PM 2
4 Event4 12PM 12:30PM 1 0r 2
5 Event5 11:30AM 12:30PM 3
The above is the expected output.
I tried nested foreachloop one for channel and other for evets, but was not able to achieve and the complexity is really high. How to achieve this logic?
Pseudo Code:
for each channel
foreach existing events
if(sametime && same channel)
go for next channel
assign current channel to new event
This fail when I try to create 3rd event.

Fair warning: This isn't a technical post. This is my opinion, and not Microsoft's.
I've been a public speaker at events since 1980. Interestingly, even though I've done this, it's never been my paid job. I've spoken on technical topics at groups as small as 5 people to over 10,000, inlocal and global events. I've been on TV, radio, on stage and on webcasts. I teach at college as well.
In all of that time, I've come to realize that speaking is the easy part. To be sure, I put an extraordinary amount of work into my presentations. I learn the topic, research speaking styles and communicationmethods, fret over my demos and practice relentlessly. But I reiterate that this is the easy part.
The hard part is putting the events together.
Most folks have no idea how hard it is to create, advertise, pay for, staff, run and tear down a technical event. Even small ones. And the folks that do it get none of the glory, none of the praise, and usually all ofthe criticism. These folks deserve way more respect than they get.
And the worst offenders in not offering this respect are the speakers.
Let me say that again – some speakers are rude, arrogant and disrespectful of the event planning groups that run their sessions. They have unrealistic expectations, and I've seen some actively fight the requirements these teams impose. From not delivering slides on time, to not following the rules the event planners lay out, to not even calling when they don't show up. Showing up and saying "I'm still working on my slides" with a smirk doesn't impress me as a listener at all - it just makes me think you're dismissing my time as unimportant as a listener. Your content should be nailed way before the event, not the day of. Practicing on the day of presentation is expected - changing it indicates unprofessionalism. Sorry, but there it is.
I don't bring up problems without suggesting some solutions – that's my military training coming through. :) Here's what can fix this issue:
No, I'm not pointing anyone out. No, no one asked me to write this post. I've just been on both sides of the fence, and you really have no idea how difficult the logistics of an event are until you put one on. Want to find out if I'm right? Volunteer at a local even like SQL Saturday, ask to help out at PASS, TechEd, whatever. The point is, walk a mile in the shoes of the event planner. It will make you a better presenter.
Dexter - wow.
Buck: Third-party TechEd speakers receive T&E plus a small honorarium. I believe that if PASS paid T&E these kinds of issues would be much less frequent.
Dexter: I once requested Sevruga caviar ($200/oz) -- totally as a joke -- and was scared to death when someone contacted me to ask whether I preferred it chilled or closer to room temperature. Turns out, the person was turning the joke back on me. Very effectively. I assume it's the same with the M&Ms, but that's actually an affordable prank to pull.
I recently attended my first SQL Saturday and my first PASS Summit (and was a first time speaker at both). These were truly awesome events but I was very surprised at the Summit that ANY speaker would cancel their session! In a "Professional Organization for SQL Server" this seemed very UNprofessional. I discussed it with the PASS board and they were perplexed too (I even tweeted with a guy named Allen and volunteered to pick up extra sessions if they needed me to). I can't tell you how many people I spoke to who paid for either all of the Summit (and/or hotel, airfare, etc) and were counting on specific sessions to be presented. I just feel that the attendees deserve the best and that there has to be some way to keep the speakers from canceling their sessions! Maybe we could track it on the PASS site - bad feedback and no shows = no invites to speak (we could even create a database!)
And... I woke up at 3 AM coughing this morning (I am pretty sick) but I still went in to work because I am teaching my third series of SQL classes to our Quicken Loans IT folks.
his is my first time i visit here. I found so many entertaining stuff in your blog, especially its discussion. From the tons of comments on your articles, I guess I am not the only one having all the leisure here! Keep up the excellent work

Customer Reviews
I love this game, but...
I love touchgrind, soooo so so much, ever sense the first one came out I've loved it. I just feel like it lacks so much that it needs, I feel like it needs more maps, and it would be cool to have some bizzar locations like an airport, or a circus, or a haunted house or something, we also need more unlockable boards and objectives. I really loved this game. But I feel like it lacks enough content to keep me playing for a long time. I mean I'm not asking for a new map every day, just one every now and then would be fine, I guess I've just played the others so much they got boring :/ I really love this game though and dont wanna see it die just because of a lack of updates.
S.K.A.T.E not working !!!
I'm only giving a low review because of the SKATE multiplayer... Fix this and I'll give a 5
I downloaded this game a long time ago and I had absolutely no issues with it .... But I just downloaded it about a week ago and tried to play SKATE with my friend and the multiplayer isn't working! I've tried with multiple games and none of them are working.... I will play one and then it will immediately say it's my turn again and when I watch the video, it shows MY turn but it says it was HIS turn ..... And when I play the 'next turn' it says complete then it will act like I never played my next turn and it's in an infinite loupe! He never gets an invite and it says he does and i end up playing against myself.... Please fix!
I'm literally ALWAYS playing this game! Or anytime I'm waiting for short periods of time in the day I just play my touch grind for a few minutes. Graphics and maps are amazing! Fun and creative challenges! Other than that, I would really appreciate if the creators could add more tricks from real skateboarding to this game, such as frontside and backside tricks, and more grinds. You can do some backside and frontside tricks, but they usually end up happening on accident. OVERALL, this is a game for anyone who wants to have something to rely on to satisfy their gaming needs! 10/10 ALL DAY!!!!!

Dominique Easley Tears ACL
Looks like Florida DE / DT Dominique Easley tore the ACL in his right knee in practice on September 24th. Easley is / was one of my early prospect crushes for the 2014 NFL Draft.
Florida May Have Lost Dominique Easley for Season
Easley's stock is now obviously very much in flux but this will end the Round 1 talk.
Damn that is too bad. I watched a couple series of the Miami game and he was running through their left tackle and the commentators were saying he wasn't playing very well before that. He looked great from what I saw.
That's a tough blow - He may play for the Gators but he is a dominant force to be reckoned with in every game. Hope he can work his way back in time for the draft process. Definite top half of the 1st rnder.
It's really bad for him. second ACL tear. Goes from being a 1st rounder (my grade on him) to being a 5th-6th rounder who will be lucky to play a snap in the league.
I think he'll end up a lot like Tank Carradine last year. Dominant when he played but major injury question mark. I wouldn't be shocked anywhere from 2nd round until the range you said (5th-6th) depending on whether or not the medical teams sign off on him.
Sucks. I really liked how he had started the year.
The fact that Easley has now suffered major injuries to both knees is disturbing. The only potential silver-lining is that it happened early in the season so there is an outside chance he may be able to workout for teams in some fashion before the draft. However, considering the uncertainty and durability concerns my guess is Easley lands somewhere in Rounds 3-5.
if anyone is interested he seems to be pretty focused and extremely motivated
That website has issues.
I don't want to touch a guy with both ACLs already torn, any higher than a last round flyer.

Gordito is a one and a half year old Chihuahua mix. He has been neutered and fully vaccinated. Gordito was found running down a very busy road, with another little doggie companion. Both were rescued and turned over to CCHS. His little friend was adopted very quickly, but poor Godito was left behind. He is a friendly, happy little guy; and he actually "smiles" when getting the attention that he so dearly craves. Due to his very small size, Gordito needs to go into a home with no small children. For more information, please call Clayton County Humane Society at 770/471-9436.

The Plainfield tornado remains the only F-5 twister to strike anywhere in the country during the month of August - but what if a similar tornado struck the Chicago area today?
There's a new app called "Plowz", where you can actually get a snowplow to come directly to your house.
In just over 24 hours, the Chicago area got more snow than it had seen all winter.
Falling temperatures made for icy conditions on roads and sidewalks Sunday as Chicago's first significant snow of the season blanketed the area, with more snow and bitter cold to come.
Dreams of a white Christmas may be all the Chicago area has. While most of the area remains under a winter weather advisory, the amount of snow expected to fall and stick around has diminished.

Lone Star State dominates Big 12 recruiting
Jerry Meyer
Rivals.com Basketball Recruiting Analyst
MORE: Team rankings | Conference breakdown
Baylor, whose recruiting class ranks second in the Big 12 and No. 13 nationally, has the most naturally gifted of all the Big 12 recruits - Isaiah Austin - coming to campus next year. He will be joined by four-star guard L.J. Rose and Rivals150 post player Chad Rykhoek.
Texas A&M and Oklahoma State are the other two Big 12 teams in the national rankings. Texas A&M (No. 20) has a pair of four-star guards in J-Mychal Reese and Alex Caruso.
Oklahoma State's class is led by five-star prospect Marcus Smart, who is known for his versatile, physical and clutch play.
Low post presence
The Big 12 class features a high number of talented big men. Isaiah Austin is the most talented of the bunch but still has a ways to go in terms of physical strength and toughness. Five-star forward Perry Ellis is college-ready and should immediately produce for Kansas.
Four-star big men Robert Upshaw and Prince Ibeh are both oozing with upside.
Similar to Ellis, Iowa State signee Georges Niang is physically advanced and is a polished low post scorer ready for the college game.
Three-star power forwards Chad Rykhoek, Zach Peters, Kamari Murphy and Jarion Henry are also coming into the conference.
Sharp Shooters
The other group of standouts of the Big 12 recruits is the perimeter shooters. Four-star guards J-Mychal Reese, Alex Caruso, Jelon Hornbeak, Javan Felix and Buddy Hield are all known for their ability to make shots from behind the arc. And the best pure shooter coming to the Big 12 - Phil Forte - will team with Marcus Smart at Oklahoma State.

Andrew James "Andy" Summers (born 31 December 1942) is an English multi-instrumentalist, born in Poulton-le-Fylde, Lancashire, England. Best known as the guitarist for rock band The Police, he has also recorded twelve solo albums, collaborated with many other artists, toured extensively under his own name, published several books, and composed several film scores. Rolling Stone magazine ranked Summers as the eighty-fifth greatest guitarist of all time.
Early Life
During his early childhood, his family moved to Bournemouth in the county of Dorset. After years of piano lessons, he took up the guitar at the age of thirteen. By age sixteen he was playing in local clubs. By nineteen, he had moved to London with his friend Zoot Money to form Zoot Money's Big Roll Band.
Musical Career
Pre-Police career
Summers' professional career began in the mid-1960s in London as the guitarist for the British rhythm and blues band Zoot Money's Big Roll Band, which eventually came under the influence of the spreading psychedelic scene and evolved into the acid rock group Dantalian's Chariot. After the demise of Dantalion's Chariot, Summers joined The Soft Machine for a period of three months and toured the United States. For a brief time in 1968, he was a member of The Animals, then known as Eric Burdon and the Animals, with whom he recorded one album, Love Is. The album features a recording of Traffic's "Coloured Rain", which includes a guitar solo by Summers that runs a full 4 minutes and 15 seconds. The LP also included a reworked version of Dantalion's Chariot's sole single "Madman Running Through The Fields".
After a period of five years in Los Angeles, mostly spent at California State University Northridge in the Los Angeles suburbs, he returned to London with his American girlfriend Kate Lunken. Back in London, Summers recorded and toured with a number of acts, including Kevin Coyne, Jon Lord, Tim Essex, Neil Sedaka and Kevin Ayers. In 1975 he participated in an orchestral rendition of Mike Oldfield's seminal piece Tubular Bells.
In 1977, Summers was invited by ex-Gong bassist Mike Howlett to join his band Strontium 90, along with future Police mates Sting and Stewart Copeland.
The Police (1977–1984)
Summers achieved international fame as the guitarist for The Police, which he joined in 1977, replacing original guitarist Henri Padovani. Emerging from London's punk scene, the Police gained international fame with many hit songs, including "Message in a Bottle", "Roxanne", "Don't Stand So Close to Me", "Every Breath You Take", and "Every Little Thing She Does is Magic". During his tenure with the band, Summers twice won the Grammy Award for Best Rock Instrumental Performance, first with "Reggatta de Blanc" (co-authored with Copeland and Sting in 1979), and then with his song "Behind My Camel" in 1980.
Although Sting was the lead vocalist of the band, Summers occasionally contributed lead vocals, as with "Be My Girl – Sally" (1978), "Friends" (1980), "Mother" (1983) and "Someone to Talk to" (1983). Other notable Summers' compositions from this period are "Omegaman" (which would have been released as the debut single from the 1981 "Ghost in the Machine" album if Sting had not objected), "Shambelle" (1981) and "Murder by Numbers" (1983). In early 1984, after seven years and record sales around eighty million, the Police disbanded.
Although not officially credited, the famous "Every Breath You Take" guitar riff was written by Summers and recorded in one take with his Stratocaster during the Synchronicity album sessions. The song was number one for eight weeks. Sting won the 1983 Grammy Award for Song of the Year, and The Police won Best Pop Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal for EBYT. Summers provides an account of the session in his book, "One Train Later."
Post-Police (1984–2007)
Summers' solo career has included touring, recording, composing for films (including 2010, Down and Out in Beverly Hills, The Wild Life and Weekend at Bernie's), writing books, and exhibiting his photography. In 1992, he served a brief stint as Musical Director on the short-lived Dennis Miller Show.
Summers' solo debut, "XYZ" was released in 1987, and to this day is the only non-instrumental album in his entire catalogue. Although it featured some fine pop material, including the single "Love is the Strangest Way", it failed to dent the charts, prompting Summers to move from MCA to Private Music and embrace a more experimental sound. In 1987 Sting invited Summers to perform on his second album "...Nothing Like the Sun", a favor the singer returned by playing bass on "Charming Snakes" (1990) and later contributing vocals to "Round Midnight" in Summers' tribute album to Thelonious Monk "Green Chimneys" (1999). In the mid-1990s Summers briefly returned to a more rock-oriented sound with "Synaesthesia" (1995) and "The Last Dance Of Mr X" (1997), before recording a string of jazz albums that highlighted his eclectic guitar talent.
Over the years Summers has collaborated with a number of fellow-guitarists, including Robert Fripp, John Etheridge, Victor Biglione and Benjamin Verdery. In December 2004 he and Copeland joined Incubus in Los Angeles and performed "Roxanne" and "Message in a Bottle". In March 2005, he made his debut at Carnegie Hall playing the premier of Dark Florescense, a concerto composed for him and Verdery. His 2006 biography One Train Later was voted music book of the year in the UK's Mojo magazine, and was released as a documentary film in 2012 by Yari pictures with the title Can't Stand Losing You: Surviving The Police.
The Police Reunion (2007–2008)
On the 2007 Grammys Award show, The Police appeared playing "Roxanne" and subsequently announced that they would be going on tour. The Police Reunion tour began in Vancouver, Canada on 28 May 2007, and continued until August 2008 becoming the third highest grossing tour of all time.
Circa Zero
Summers has formed a new band, Circa Zero, with Rob Giles from The Rescues. Originally, drummer Emmanuelle Caplette was also a member the band, but she is not anymore. Their debut show was 25 July 2013 at the El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles, CA. The band's debut album, Circus Hero, was released 25 March 2014. It is titled after a malapropism of the band's name made by a radio disc jockey during an interview of Summers. The first single, "Levitation," was released to US adult album alternative radio on 3 March 2014; it reached number 36 on the Japan Hot 100 chart.

Following the Dodgers and Exploring The Team's Past
[powered by WordPress.]
Wow. Let me say it again. Wow.
For those of you who listened or watched yesterday's game between the Dodgers and Padres, you witnessed history. Not only did the Dodgers hit back to back to back to back homeruns in the ninth inning to tie the game after being down 9-5, but Nomar Garciparra then hits a two run walk off homerun to win the game in the bottom of the tenth. Truly amazing, and when you add on the fact that this game had major playoff implications late in the year, it definitely makes for a fantastic story.
In all, the Dodgers hit seven homeruns yesterday. Marlon Anderson was five for five with two of those homeruns and he scored three times. Aaron Sele ended up picking up the win even after gave up the go ahead run to the Padres in the tenth inning.
This capped off a series that had been somewhat disappointing. The Dodgers won on Friday but then dropped the next two, including a blow out on Saturday. Greg Maddux threw a gem for that win on Friday and man is it good that we'll have him for the playoffs.
So the Dodgers lead the Padres by a half game. And just in time, next up is three against the Pirates. Two of three is pretty much a neccesity here, although a sweep would be even better.
I just came across your site! Love it!
Last night's game was incredible…I'm still flying high!

November 29, 2015
AP -- Threats against the family of former Taliban prisoner Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl are being investigated by federal, state and local authorities.
William Facer, a spokesman for the FBI's Salt Lake City division, said Saturday in a statement: "The FBI continues to monitor the situation in Hailey, Idaho. We are working jointly with our state and local partners and taking each threat seriously."
The soldier's parents, Bob and Jani Bergdahl, live in Hailey, Idaho.
Facer did not detail the nature of the threat.
On Wednesday, Bergdahl's hometown abruptly canceled plans Wednesday for a welcome-home celebration, citing security concerns over the prospect of big crowds -- both for and against the soldier.
The town of 8,000 has been swamped with hate mail and angry calls over Bergdahl, whose release after five years of Taliban captivity in Afghanistan has touched off a debate over whether the 28-year-old should be given a hero's welcome or punished as a deserter.

I have asked my friends to boycott BP, and NO ONE has. One person who lives in California said, "I don't care. BP has cheap gas, and I'm not going to let it affect my family or my lifestyle. I will still get my gas where it's cheap and close to my house." That same person went on to say, "I get my seafood from Thailand."

Repeater Coordination is Broken. Here's How to Fix It.
The way we manage amateur radio repeater coordination is broken and it's hurting both hams and the public we serve. The only way to fix it is to start over—this time requiring those who want what amounts to exclusive use of a valuable frequency pair in a given geography to prove they deserve it.
Repeater groups that provide valuable public service have nothing to fear from this proposal. Indeed, it should enhance their ability to provide emergency communications and training.
Those who run closed repeaters, are squatting on pairs that aren't actually being used, or operate repeaters that are devoid of users need do better job or start packing.
Amateurs who think they can do a better job of running a repeater than whoever has the pair now (or in the future) should have the chance to either prove it and get the frequency themselves or force the incumbent to do a better job of serving the community.

This is not bad for a typical wooden eyeliner pencil. It's not creamy or waterproof like Urban Decay 24/7 in Zero, so the effect is less dramatic. It's not overly pigmented but makes a nice subtle work appropriate look. I like to have this liner within reach for hurried mornings when there's no time to fiddle with gel or liquid liner. It's also nice for touching up the liner that wears off under my lower eyelids. There's nothing magic about the shade honestly, no sparkle or special effects. It's simply an inexpensive pencil that's nice to toss around when you don't want to risk carrying more expensive products or bother with brushes. One additional point is that I'm allergic to Rimmel's regular black eyeliner pencil but for some happy reason, I can easily wear this without any problem. I wanted to rate this 3 1/2, but lacking that option, rounded up to 4.

I'm surprised this eyeliner got such good reviews.
This was the first eyeliner I bought, unexperienced with makeup at the time. Even though this says "black magic", it looked dark brown on my eyes. It doesn't glide on to the waterline or tightline very well, which I dislike b/c I have a very small crease, and I cannot line my top lash line without it smudging. It was very cheap though, I got it for less than $3 at Target, but honestly ... What good does a eyeliner do if it barely shows up & has low pigment?
I'll stick with Revlon ColorStay or Ulta's waterproof eyeliner.

I actually bought this one in a hurry at my local Walmart, because I was in a rush and just grabbed the nearest eyeliner on the shelf. It's a stupid thing to do, but yeah. Well, I have to say that I'm impressed. I didn't expect it to be great. I was wrong. This pencil is great for my waterline. It doesn't tug for me and it glides on very smoothly, and the line is nice and good colored. It wears off pretty quick because my eyes are really watery, but it's good. Comes off easily with any eye makeup remover. Definitely would buy again.

I liked this because it gave a nice dark line and it has great staying power, even though I have really oily eyelids. My only problem is that it's not very soft and I felt like I had to really tug/draw on my eyelid to get a really black line.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Cool
Hair: Blond, Wavy, Medium

To be honest, I don't really see much difference between this and other pencil liners I've used, maybe I need to look at some professional brands to see a major difference. But like all the rest it goes well on the water line, stays reasonably well, it's also good for the lower lashes. I find it drags too much to get a smooth line for the upper lashes though.

Skin: Dry, Fair, Cool

I use this eyeliner for my waterline. It goes on well, and stays on pretty well. My eyes are watery, so it comes off and needs a touchup by lunch, but it is a really good pencil! Will not be buying it again because I am going to get a different one because I like to try new things, but I would buy this again!

It's really soft. It smudges super easily. Worth the $$$. I use this whenever I'm in a hurry. This is GREAT for a smoky eye look due to its easy blending and smudging. The price is a bargain for eyeliners nowadays. I give it a rating of 5/5. I use this everyday and it's my go-to

Very basic eyeliner, perfect for everyday wear. Nice rich color, but only if you layer it on. Gives really nice precises lines, but can also leave a nice smoky-eye effect if you dull down the tip before applying, and gently smudge it with your finger. The only problems I've encountered are it wearing off and it smudging. I mostly account that to my oily skin, however, so if your skin is normal or dry, smudging and wearing away should not be a problem. And for its dirt cheap price, around $2 I believe, it's pretty hard to go wrong with this!

I got this yesterday while shopping at Target. I was hoping to find the NYC waterproof eyeliner due to the reviews but it was all sold out. So i gave this a try and so glad that I did. I applied it to my water and tight line at 8 am, it is now 3 pm without disappearing/smudging! I have watery eyes and it withheld thru the tears and rainy weather (Oregon). I only took one lippy off because the packaging. It has no plastic wrapping, which means anyone can open it and swatch it, then put it back. So I had to sanitize it before using. Also, I wished it came in white!!! I will be getting the color Panama next (dark brown/black)!

This has been my go-to eyeliner for at least 4 years now. It stays all day, goes on subtle or heavy. Always does on smooth and sharpens nicely, plus it's cheap!
Edit 1/22/2012: Lately I've been using the Grey color more, but still my favorite eyeliner!

I would think so. A car feels like an alien contraption when I step into one to drive after 3 months off (I don't drive much during the summer).Originally Posted by Platy
Rent a car.
I rented a car last June for some local driving, but I had to rent a car for work three weeks ago. They sent me halfway across the country to headquarters, and the hq was 30 miles from the airport.
It was interesting. The steering is easy, auto matic tranny no problem and its a rental so naturally you have to search for the headlights and wiper controls.
The real challenge was dealing with operating a car at speed, manuvering in high density traffic and reading all the drivers around you, and watching for all the signs and notices on the highway, and doing this all at once. You forget how busy driving is. I guess cell phone users do too.
I was driving slowly at first, but after a while it all came back.
One thing I did notice is that aggressive driving can be addictive. It's an adrenaline rush. Do it once out of need and you find yourself tempted to do it again.

Yeah, I just rented a car for an out of town trip. I'm hyper alert right now though with 30+ years of driving experience I expect that will soon go away. I feel sensory deprived, not being able to hear and feel the road situation very well. So much visibility is blocked when you're in the car. It's like some kind of video game experience.
Do you find yourself driving along at 20mph and rolling through stop signs? That's why I notice if I haven't been behind a wheel in a while...Originally Posted by Platy
Yes. Occasionally a friend will ask me to drive her through the city and I need to resist the urge to scoot between lines of stopped cars. But I think I'm more cautious now.Originally Posted by gerv
No. My parents drove regularly right up to the time a few months ago when they both decided they were a hazard and turned their drivers liscenses in to the DMV.Originally Posted by Platy
Their doctor helped by providing tons of information about senior ride programs. Public transport seems almost non-existent where they live because you don't notice these vans carrying disabled and elderly. They don't have big logos on them. Apparently the state and county see a huge benefit in encouraging elderly people to give up their cars rather than drive to the bitter end. I never knew. My parents were worried that they'd have to move out of their suburban house when they became unfit to drive.
Based on the driving skills I see displayed on our roadways on a daily basis...I doubt it would make any differenceOriginally Posted by Platy

so you're all saying that driving a car isn't quite like riding a bike? (in that whole you never really forget how cause its a kinesthetic skill kinda idea)
But seriously, my fiance (who I taught to drive a few years back) is now disturbed by how markedly bad my driving has apparently become whenever she sees me drive. I think this is more because most of when I do drive its usually a manual at work but she only sees me drive our car which is an automatic.
I keep an odd deathgrip on the automatic's shifter...

After I had been car free for 3 years I got a job where I hard to drive a Fed vehicle long distances occasionally. Quickly my partners took over the driving as they said I made them nervous. Seems I kept drifting over to the right shoulder. Took me months to get over the habit. I had a much worse time when I moved to a country where they drove on the left. A neighbor loaned me his car one day to drive to work before dawn. Found myself driving directly towards a pair of headlights. Oops!

Driving is a great skill to lose.
"Think Outside the Cage"
If you want to keep your drivers license i'd recommend driving a car at least once per month or every other month to keep your skills up. Outside of that I wouldn't worry about it too much...I think my Space Shuttle license has expired but I don't plan on going to the Space Station anytime soon.
People who voluntarily turn in thier drivers license because they think they may be a hazard on the road should be commended and there's no reason they can't gravitate to another vehicle (segway comes to mind). Pilots do this all the time, sometimes it 's nice to move to the passengers seat, also you know you still have the self awarness to retire gracefully in the interest of others (wise people).

Remember Me
Wesley became a force in jazz in 1978 when he joined the Count Basie Orchestra. He released his first jazz CD as a leader, To Someone, in 1988. It was followed by New Friends in 1990, Comme Ci Comme Ca in 1991, and his latest two releases as a leader, the live CD, Swing and Be Funky and Amalgamation in 1994.
Wesley's 35-year career includes playing with and arranging for a wide variety of other artist such as Ray Charles, Ike and Tina Turner, Usher, Lionel Hampton, Randy Crawford, Vanessa Williams, The SOS Band, Cameo and rappers De La Soul, to name a few. Scores of other artists have sampled his work.
Wesley toured with his colleagues from the James Brown Band, Pee Wee Ellis and Maceo Parker as the JB Horns in the early nineties. With the departure of Ellis the band became The Maceo Parker Band. Wesley was featured trombonist with Maceo until 1996 when he formed his own band.
The Fred Wesley group recorded and toured for about two years until Wesley decided to put touring on the side and pursue a writing career. He is currently doing articles for general publication and liner notes for CDs etc. He has completed his first book entitled, "HIT ME FRED ( Recollections of a Sideman)" available online and at area book stores.
The reinvented FRED WESLEY, musicologist is available, not only for Funk and Jazz gigs and recording sessions but also for workshop, clinics and lectures on Jazz and Funk. His writing is beginning to be sought after by many periodicals and recording companies.

Spc. John Baca
Received medal: March 2, 1971
John Baca was drafted into the Army in 1969, later joining Company D, 1st Battalion, 12th Cavalry, 1st Cavalry Division as a specialist fourth class. With a heavy weapons platoon in Phuoc Long Province in Vietnam, his unit had been in intense engagements with the enemy as they moved closer to the Cambodian border. On Feb. 10, 1970, Baca's company had been in the wild for nearly a month, and after returning to base for what was supposed to be a few days of rest, they were sent back out with a rifle platoon to set up a night ambush. The rifle platoon was investigating a mine explosion when they were attacked by enemy soldiers. Baca ran through heavy fire and set up a position for firing his weapon, and got one round fired before a grenade landed near him. He took his helmet off, slammed it over the grenade and threw his body on top of the helmet, absorbing the blast and saving eight other men from serious injury or death, according to his Medal of Honor citation.
When the other men in his unit carried him to shelter and leaned him against a tree, he looked down at his stomach and saw his intestines hanging out of his uniform. He wondered whether his mother would be angry with him because he'd previously told her he'd stay in the back as opposed to going to the front. He was flown by helicopter and treated in Long Binh before being sent to a hospital in Japan, where his mother joined him and remained by his side while his injuries were treated.
Baca left the Army that year and was awarded the Medal of Honor by President Richard Nixon in 1971. In 1990, Baca and others returned to Vietnam for the Veterans Vietnam Restoration Project, and joined former North Vietnamese soldiers in building a health clinic.

Holy cow, I wrote a book!
It's the end of September, which means that
once again,
it's time for
Smithsonian Magazine's annual Museum Day,
search for a participating museum near you
get your free admission card.
One of the participating museums is the
Museum of History & Industry,
known to locals by its initials, MOHAI.
Whenever I go past the museum and see the big MOHAI banners,
I think to myself how great it would be if they opened a satellite
location in, say, Renton.
That museum would be called the
Museum of History & Industry, Renton,
MOHAIR for short.
