Jaco Pastorius, the late jazz bassist who was a member of Weather Report from 1976 to 1981, a player on multiple Joni Mitchell albums and more, was given the documentary treatment this year with Jaco, which Metallica bassist Robert Trujillo put together. From a NY Times review of the documentary:
When Jaco Pastorius first met Joe Zawinul, the keyboardist and composer behind Weather Report, he had his introduction ready. "My name is John Francis Pastorius III," he said, as Zawinul later remembered. "I'm the greatest bass player in the world."Joni is interviewed in the film, as is Flea, Sting, Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock and Geddy Lee, and the extras include an interview with Carlos Santana. It's out now and you can check out the trailer, below.
That line appears more than once in "Jaco," an illuminating, compassionate new documentary, and its hubris comes across as both playful and deeply serious. Pastorius, who died tragically in 1987 at 35, was a sensation in his time. A maestro of the fretless electric bass guitar, he was revered for his warm, singing tone; his distinctly sinewy attack; and his mastery of harmonics, with which he could play chiming chords and a range of expressive effects.
...The film traces the subsequent trajectory Pastorius took from an aesthetically ambitious, large-canvas second album, "Word of Mouth," toward increasingly erratic public behavior. A psychiatrist from Bellevue Hospital, where he was committed in 1986, turns up to reiterate his diagnosis of bipolar disorder. By the end, Pastorius was back in Fort Lauderdale, living in a park. He died of a brain hemorrhage after being assaulted by a manager of a nightclub.
"Jaco," which portrays its subject in better times as a devoted father, is sensitive on the subject of his mental illness, and far less provocative than it could be about his death.
The soundtrack for the documentary also features Rodriga y Gabriela covering "Continuum." You can listen to that below too.

Pretty cool:
It was revealed today that musician/singer/songwriter/actor Chan Marshall (also known as Cat Power) will be the voice narrating the upcoming Janis Joplin documentary "Janis" from Academy Award®-nominated director Amy Berg ("Deliver Us From Evil," "West of Memphis"). The documentary will have its much anticipated World Premiere at the Venice Film Festival where it was just selected to screen out of competition.The film is apparently called "Janis" which is a little confusing because there's already a Janis Joplin documentary with that name.
Oscar-nominated filmmaker Bruce Sinofsky, whose series on the "West Memphis Three" cast doubt on the murder convictions of three Arkansas teenagers, catalyzing a movement that led to their release, died Saturday, longtime collaborator Joe Berlinger said. [CNN]---
Metallica recently celebrated the 10-year anniversary of their groundbreaking documentary Some Kind of Monster and sadly, not long after, they are now mourning the death of one of the movie's directors -- Bruce Sinofsky. [LoudWire]---
Bruce Sinofsky, the Montclair-based filmmaker, died at home on Saturday from complications of diabates. He was 58.Rest in Peace Bruce.
He was a very good filmmaker. He was also, much more importantly, a good guy, one I interviewed a number of times over the last 20 years or so, and - although I can't pretend to close friendship - one I am still very sad to lose.
Sinofsky, who was born in Boston, studied filmmaking at NYU, then got a job working for the revered documentarians Albert and David Maysles. [NJ.com}

Blue Note Records announced:
More than 50 years into an already legendary career, 2015 is shaping up to be a momentous year for Charles Lloyd. As reported in The New York Times, the esteemed saxophonist and composer has signed with Blue Note Records and will release his first album for the iconic label in 30 years with the April 14 arrival of Wild Man Dance, a magnificent live recording of a remarkable long-form suite commissioned by the Jazztopad Festival in Wroclaw, Poland. Lloyd will present the North American premiere of the "Wild Man Dance Suite" on April 18 at the Metropolitan Museum Temple of Dendur in New York City followed by two performances of the work during a four-night stand at SFJAZZ (April 23-26) in San Francisco. Lloyd will also perform with his Quartet at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival on May 2.Tickets for the show at The Met are still on sale, but I don't see public tickets for the Lincoln Center thing at the moment.
On April 20, Lloyd will reach another career landmark when he is awarded the NEA Jazz Masters honor celebrating his remarkable career as well as recognizing his creative brilliance in the pantheon of such other living and vital jazz legends as Sonny Rollins and Wayne Shorter. An awards ceremony and concert honoring the recipients will take place at Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York City.

In related news, Blue Note has been collaborating with my favorite home speaker system Sonos who will be releasing their first ever limited edition speaker, the "Sonos PLAY:1 Blue Note Limited Edition". It's literally blue and looks like this:

Serial's Sarah Koenig arm wrestling Ira Glass
It's official: "Serial" is the hottest podcast in the history of the known universe, the most significant moment in audio since the "War of the Worlds" broadcast, and the most innovative development in communication arts since the smoke signal. In fact, it's a breakthrough symbolizing the Great Podcast Renaissance of 2014. [Yahoo]Like composer Nick Diamonds, This American Life's Ira Glass was involved with the most popular podcast of all time, Sarah Koenig's Serial, which aired its final episode about Hae-Min Lee and Adnan Syed today (12/18). What did you think of the ending (which was slightly different than Funny or Die's version)? I thought it ended okay, but will leave it at that. #nospoilers
Ira Glass (first cousin once removed of Philip) is of course the host of public radio's popular This American Life of which Serial is a spinoff. When not speaking on the radio, Ira sometimes relaxes with a documentary. He listed some of his favorites for the Sundance Doc Club, including Stop Making Sense, and crime drama The Thin Blue Line.
Ira Glass also often appears live in front of audiences, and that continues to prove true throughout the next year, as you can see from his busy schedule outlined below. He appears at Town Hall in NYC this Friday (flyer below), and has upcoming talks at Yale, the Association of Performing Arts, Mayo Performing Arts Center, and many more places.
Dates and video instructions on how to listen to a podcast (by Ira Glass), below...

New Jersey's WFMU has occupied a unique position as an independent, commercial-free, listener-supported radio station since its inception in the late 1950s. At its heart is the dedicated station manager Ken Freedman, committed to an unstructured, free- form broadcasting model which has won WFMU acclaim as the best--and perhaps weirdest-- radio station in the tristate area, if not the country. Facing a budget crisis, can Ken rally both his volunteer staff and his listeners to keep the station afloat?Find out by watching Sex and Broadcasting, a new film about one of our favorite radio stations. It makes its world premiere this Saturday (11/15) at IFC Center in NYC, and then plays again at the same place on 11/17. On 11/20 you can catch it at SVA Theatre in Chelsea. Get your tickets. Filmmaker Tim K. Smith is expected to be at two or all of the screenings, and film subject Ken Freedman should be around too. Watch a clip at Indie Wire and the trailer below.
All three screenings are part of DOC NYC which kicked off yesterday and runs through 11/20. As mentioned, the film lineup also includes a "Sonic Cinema" series with films about Elliott Smith, the DC punk scene and more.
Indie Wire also lists 5 (non-music) must see documentaries. The NY Times has a fest preview too.

GWAR at the Housecore Horror Fest in Austin, 2013 (more by Trent Maxwell)
Style Weekly dug deeply into GWAR this week and for good reason: the band have had a year like few others. Certainly, the sad news of Dave Brockie's passing will be the lasting memory for many, but after their downs, GWAR also had their ups. They've released a mountain of atypical merch and marketing ideas -- some good, some not so much. They're going back out on the road with Decapitated, Corrosion of Conformity, and American Sharks. When they've played Oderus-less, they've looked in good form. And now there's going to be a GWAR documentary.
The nine minute trailer for Let There Be GWAR details the band's beginnings, showing how frustrated art school castaways built a band to fit their fantasies. It's actually a rather inspiring story and a clever piece of cinema, utilizing a picture-in-picture talking head technique to great effect. Of course, GWAR aren't just any band, but their origins are similar to other lifers that keep on doing it out of love. If you've winced at their recent capitalistic streak, it's a nice palette cleanser. A date and other release information for the Don Drakulich-directed documentary hasn't made the rounds yet, but you can watch the full nine minute trailer below.
Speaking of GWAR-related documentaries, you can catch them in Riot on the Dance Floor, the new film about Trenton, NJ rock club City Gardens, which makes its BV-presented NYC premiere TONIGHT (8/28).

Reunited Memphis band Grifters playing NYC shows after Gonerfest, subject of new documentary (video & dates)
Memphis indie legends The Grifters just announced and played their first shows in 17 years. Coming off the heels of a last minute hometown reunion show in November 2013, they'll be playing NYC shows at Glasslands on November 7 and Mercury Lounge on November 8. Tickets for the Glasslands show are on sale now. Tickets for the Mercury Lounge show will go on AmEx presale Wednesday (8/20) and on sale to the general public Friday (8/22).
The NYC shows will mark the 20th anniversary of their album Crappin You Negative, and are in addition to playing Gonerfest in Memphis on September 25. No other dates have been announced, but hopefully this means they'll be playing more shows in the coming months.
What caused the band to reunite now? It was a documentary actually...
Directors Robert Allen Parker and Nan Hackman's biggest coup may have been convincing local indie-rock godfathers the Grifters to reunite after more than a decade of inactivity. The band was both one of Memphis' biggest local draws and most successful exports of the 1990s, releasing several LPs, EPs, and singles (the 1994 full-length Crappin' You Negative received rave reviews from publications like Rolling Stone and Spin) and touring extensively until around 2000, when exhaustion and the emergence of new projects and opportunities led the Grifters to slow things down and ultimately disband. [Memphis Flyer]Check out the trailer of the documentary, produced for the Memphis Film Festival, which features some cool live footage, below.

City Gardens DJ/promoter Randy Now

The National kicking off European (but not Russia) tour; 'Mistaken For Strangers' screening at City Winery
The National @ Barclays Center in 2013 (more by Dana (distortion) Yavin)
If you haven't seen the National documentary 'Mistaken For Strangers' yet, July 7 is your chance when it screens for $5.00 at City Winery in NYC (try not to drink all the wine... because then you won't remember the movie!). One night earlier City Winery is screening a documentary about one of The National's favorite bands, the Grateful Dead. That one is free (don't take the brown acid).
The National movie recently opened across Europe where The National will be touring next week. All dates are listed below, even the ones they cancelled in Russka and Ukraine. In April they announced:
Due to the ongoing political crisis in the region, we are sad to report that we have decided to cancel our shows in Moscow, St. Petersburg and Kiev this summer. Ticket refunds are available at the point of purchase. We remain hopeful of coming to play for you in the future and we sincerely hope this current instability resolves in a positive, democratic and peaceful way. Take care of yourselves and we hope to see you soon.They'll see the U.S. again in August whtn they play a series of festival dates including Made in America in Philly, Boston Calling in Boston, and Riot Fest in Chicago and Toronto. Their most recent NYC shows were in Prospect Park for three nights in a row. We also caught them this year at Sasquatch, in Austin, and in Chicago.

King Buzzo's new album streaming (listen); Amphetamine Reptile documentary coming soon (watch the trailer)
by Ian Chainey
King Buzzo at Housecore Horror Film Festival, 2013 (More by Trent Maxwell)
Richard "King Buzzo" Osborne, frontman/guitarist for the Melvins is now streaming his new solo outing, This Machine Kills Artists, in full. The record (not to be confused with the new Scion AV split with Tweak Bird) is a departure from his recognizable stew of slow sludge, booming doom, and Kiss-riffs twisted into a nightmare. Instead of punk distortion overload, This Machine is simply Buzz and an acoustic guitar, recorded straight to tape, string rattle and all. It will be released by Ipecac on June 3. Then, Buzzo will hit the road for a long tour.
That said, it would be a mistake to think This Machine lacks heft. While opener "Dark Brown Teeth" is a Richie Havens-esque strummer containing beautiful, haunting singing pulled from '70s power pop, there are long passages where the collection gets unnervingly dark. When I caught Buzzo at the Scion Rock Fest, I was surprised by the force of his impact. I wrote:
He yelled, growled; hammering the same gut-bucket progression past flushness. His grey hair spun out in spirals, whipping the air. He was Woody Guthrie in a nightmare. The audience watched reverently.It was but a man and his guitar, but his charisma, keen sense of melody, and focus kept a crowd of antsy metalheads facing the stage during his set. This Machine isn't any different. Its sub-three minute songs, while raw, are full of surprises.
In related news, after a Kickstarter campaign dating back at least two years, The Color of Noise, the documentary tracking the history of Amphetamine Reptile Records will be seeing a debut shortly. Began by Tom Hazelmyer in 1986, the Minneapolis label catered to the burgeoning noise rock scene, releasing records by Melvins, the Jesus Lizard, Helmet, Tar, Today is the Day, and many, many more that have achieved a cult following. Its legacy lives on today, influencing third and fourth waves of noisy bands best described as having that 'AmRep' sound. The film will premiere May 30 at Third Man Records in Nashville, Tennessee and features many talking heads ranging from Steve Austin, Derek Hess, John Stainer, and, yep, King Buzzo.

Ad-Rock rapping & writing w/ Champagne Jerry, DJing MoMA instead of Kathleen Hanna (whose movie is coming out)
Ad-Rock and Champagne Jerry
Kathleen Hanna isn't feeling well, so her husband Adam Horovitz aka Ad-Rock will be filling in for her as DJ at MoMA's Pop Rally event tonight (11/21). Kim Gordon's group Body/Head also performs and tickets are still on sale.
You can still catch Kathleen soon though, but on the big screen, when "The Punk Singer" opens in theaters on 11/29 (maybe you caught the documentary as part of Doc NYC). Ad-Rock is also featured prominently in the film, and even filmed a scene.
It's not all DJing, movies and bass playing for Ad-Rock these days though. The former Beastie Boy reportedly also raps a few verses on a forthcoming track called "Yo Kev" that he co-wrote with rapper and performance artist Champagne Jerry who he has been collaborating with lately.
"CHAMPAGNE JERRY also known as Neal Medlyn is, by far, the greatest rapper in the world. He likes snacks, books, sexual intercourse, and rhyming."If you don't know, now you know. Listen to "Tampa Realness" below - the track "was written by Champagne Jerry (lyrics) and Adam Ad Rock Horovitz (music) with additional production and mixing by Max Tannone. It is dedicated to the city of Tampa and all things neon, Four Loko, and teal. Adam wrote the beat on a plane to Hawaii, CJ wrote the lyrics on a bus in Brooklyn." Stay tuned for "Yo Kev".
"Tampa Realness" and "Yo Kev" will appear on Champagne Jerry's album For Real You Guys which is being rolled out one single at a time, and one monthly show in NYC at Joe's Pub at a time. The next show is December 7th and Ad-rock will be in the house, like he has been for many intimate shows at Joe's Pub in the past, sometimes with Bridget Everett who is also a Champagne Jerry collaborator, as is Carmine Covelli (who is in both Kathleen Hanna's band The Julie Ruin and Bridget Everett's band the Tender Moments) and Max Tannone (whose credits include Jaydiohead).
Bridget Everett and the Tender Moments next play Joe's Pub on 12/11 and 12/12.
We recently caught the Julie Ruin at Fun Fun Fun Fest and at MHOW, and not that long ago at Union Pool where Ad-Rock was reportedly seen hanging with Champagne Jerry.

Much earlier this year mentioned that The Residents were celebrating their 40th anniversary with a $100,000 box set packaged in a 28 cubic-foot refrigerator. NBC Bay Area now reports that one has been delivered to a happy buyer whose transaction will also appear in a forthcoming docyumentary...
Last September, Cryptic Corporation Vice President Homer Flynn announced the sale of the first Ultimate Box Set to a man named Tripmonster from Bloomington, Ind. In a video press release, Flynn also said the delivery would be shot as part of a documentary called, "Theory of Obscurity," about the 40+ year history of The Residents.Box set related videos and documentary trailer below...
Acting as the managers for The Residents, The Cryptic Corporation has handled all press, business dealings and public interactions during the majority of the group's career, providing the members of The Residents with an impressive level of anonymity.
"For The Residents, the delivery of their Ultimate Box Set was both a profound and satisfying experience," Flynn said. "The expression of joy on the face of Tripmonster, as he held Mr. Green, the eyeball mask from his UBS, was worth every minute of their 40-year existence."...

Before you head out to the Grand Theft Auto music events happening as part of the ongoing New York Film Festival tonight (9/30), here's a bit more about the films I've seen so far this festival:
Some films that did not do much for me:
When Evening Falls on Bucharest or Metabolism by the Romanian director Corneliu Poumbou -- This was another film about film and the making of a film. It features very long static shots, a trend of the Romanian New Wave of film going on today, of which this director is part of. In fact the whole film is only about 20 takes but did not connect with me at all. loved his last film Police, Adjective though.
Jimmy P Psychotherapy of a Plains Indian --- This one stars Benecio Del Toro and was directed by the French director Arnaud Desplechin whose 2004 film Kings & Queens was one of the best I saw that year. Based on a true story, it is just what the title states, a case study of the psychotherapy of a Native American ex soldier after WWII. Very well acted by both Del Toro and French actor Mathieu Amalric, but it was a completely unremarkable film to me. Another critic put it best to me. This would have been great if it was a PBS American Playhouse production.
The Missing Picture by Rithy Panh was loved by a number of people I saw it with. It is told with the use of both newsreel footage and clay figurines. It's a pretty harrowing story of the Khmer Rouge and their deadly atrocities in Cambodia and the direct affect on Panh, the only survivor of his family who all died in the refugee camps. While striking in content, I could not find my way in to it.
Finally, there were 3 fascinating documentaries I saw:

Before Bad Brains, the Sex Pistols or even the Ramones, there was a band called Death. Punk before punk existed, three teenage brothers in the early '70s formed a band in their spare bedroom, began playing a few local gigs and even pressed a single in the hopes of getting signed. But this was the era of Motown and emerging disco. Record companies found Death's music - and band name - too intimidating, and the group were never given a fair shot, disbanding before they even completed one album. Equal parts electrifying rockumentary and epic family love story, A Band Called Death chronicles the incredible fairy-tale journey of what happened almost three decades later, when a dusty 1974 demo tape made its way out of the attic and found an audience several generations younger. Playing music impossibly ahead of its time, Death is now being credited as the first black punk band (hell...the first punk band!), and are finally receiving their long overdue recognition as true rock pioneers.A Band Called Death opens June 28 in limited release around the country, including NYC's Cinema Village (tickets) and then at Nitehawk Cinema in Williamsburg and MIST Harlem Cinema starting July 5. Check out the full list of cities and theaters below.
You don't have to wait that long to see it, though. BrooklynVegan is excited to be presenting a screening which will happen at Williamsburg Cinemas on June 20 at 10 PM, part of the Northside Film Festival. Our screening has limited FREE tickets but do note that a ticket does not guarantee entry. First come, first served, so come early with your ticket to make sure you get in. Limited Northside badges will also be let in. Hope to see you there!
Back in March, A Band Called Death screened at SXSW where the band played two shows, one of which was one of our day parties. As mentioned, Death will play here in NYC on July 1 at Le Poisson Rouge and tickets for that are still available.

Death (the protopunk band) are subject of new documentary, playing live at SXSW (BrooklynVegan show included)
Death at Europa in 2010 (more by Ben Lozovsky)
Long lost protopunk band Death, who made a return in 2009 when Drag City released their debut album and have been sticking around ever since, have gotten the documentary treatment. A Band Called Death, directed by Mark Covino and Jeff Howlett, was released in 2012 and it will be screening at SXSW this year (screening times are HERE).
The film description reads:
Before Bad Brains, the Sex Pistols or even the Ramones, there was Death. Formed in the early '70s by three teenage brothers from Detroit, Death is credited as being the first black punk band, and the Hackney brothers, David, Bobby, and Dannis, are now considered pioneers in their field. But it wasn't until recently -- when a dusty 1974 demo tape made its way out of Bobby's attic nearly 30 years after Death's heyday -- that anyone outside a small group of punk enthusiasts had even heard of them.Death themselves will also be at SXSW for a couple shows. They'll play at TenOak on Thursday (3/14) at 12:50 AM (so technically Friday), and earlier that day they'll play a BrooklynVegan day party, which happens at the old Emo's location, 603 Red River St. Death's set is a special early one at 1:30 PM on Thursday and the party is totally free. Rough Francis (aka Death's sons band) will also be at the BV party, playing right before them at 12:45.
Equal parts electrifying rockumentary and epic family chronicle, the story of Death is one of brotherly love and fierce, divinely inspired expression.

The Postal Service announce even more Tour Dates, made a video & mini documentary with Tom Scharpling
Already two Brooklyn shows, and the list keeps growing. New Postal Service dates go on pre-sale on Wednesday. All dates are listed below.
Meanwhile, a music video and a short documentary about the reunited band are in the works. The title of the doc, according to IMDB, is "10 Years of the Postal Service", and the one and only Tom Scharpling directed it, as he recently told Matt Pinfield:
"I shot two things with them," Scharpling says. "One is a mini-documentary, getting Ben Gibbard and Jimmy Tamborello to tell the story of how this weird band came together and how they were mailing each other CD-R's back and forth. It's a straight mini-doc thing that should be out shortly. The other is a funny video that takes place in 2002, that shows Jimmy auditioning potential lead singers for Postal Service. We got an amazing group of people to come through."Tom's videos are always the best, so we definitely can't wait to see that. Meanwhile check out the video Tom made for one of Ben's' solo tracks.

Koyaanisqatsi, also known as Koyaanisqatsi: Life Out of Balance, is a 1982 film directed by Godfrey Reggio with music composed by Philip Glass and cinematography by Ron Fricke.
The film consists primarily of slow motion and time-lapse footage of cities and many natural landscapes across the United States. The visual tone poem contains neither dialogue nor a vocalized narration: its tone is set by the juxtaposition of images and music. Reggio explains the lack of dialogue by stating "it's not for lack of love of the language that these films have no words. It's because, from my point of view, our language is in a state of vast humiliation. It no longer describes the world in which we live."[1] In the Hopi language, the word Koyaanisqatsi means "unbalanced life".[2] The film is the first in the Qatsi trilogy of films: it is followed by Powaqqatsi (1988) and Naqoyqatsi (2002). The trilogy depicts different aspects of the relationship between humans, nature, and technology. Koyaanisqatsi is the best known of the trilogy and is considered a cult film. However, because of copyright issues, the film was out of print for most of the 1990s.[3] [Wikipedia]

A restructuring of Colorado's economic development office is intended to generate more big wins like the recent Arrow Electronics and GE deals, the office's director said Thursday.
"Our priority is to help retain and attract jobs to Colorado," said Ken Lund, executive director of the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade. "We need to realign to accomplish that goal more quickly."
The restructuring entails elimination of four positions and the hiring of 12 to 15 new staffers.
The new job descriptions include:
• Specialists to help current Colorado companies grow operations.
• Staff focused on new business development, such as the recently announced relocation of Arrow Electronics to metro Denver and GE's development of a $300 million solar-panel plant.
• A director to oversee regional operations and implement the "Blueprint Colorado" strategy.
While similar functions have existed in the office, the restructuring gives them a sharper focus, said Lund, who was appointed to the position in June by Gov. John Hickenlooper.
"Over a period of time, there (was) a loss of sight of the core mission," Lund said. "Our programs can't be random programs in search of a strategy — they need to be supporting our strategy."
He said the new hires will be paid for from the office's existing budget and from private-sector contributions.

Slide show presents memories from Class of 2011 orientation
• Click the thumbnails to view the slide show above
Orientation for the Class of 2011, held Aug. 27–Sept. 6, helped ease first-year students into Bates life by offering something for everyone: meeting returning students while lugging belongings into residence halls, exploring Maine's Great North Woods by canoe, enjoying barbecues and inflatables, and considering Bates historian John Cole's sly, earthy Convocation talk about the correspondence between the teenage Marie Antoinette and her mother, Holy Roman Empress Maria Theresa. In this slide show we share a few of these experiences.

continued Baker pointed out that this isn't the first time Lt. Miles has had a role in the Memorial Day Parade.
"In 2008, Lt. Miles chosen to recite Lincoln's Gettysburg Address [at Riverview Cemetery]," Baker said.
Grand Marshall Cpl. Kyle Schneider
A 2006 graduate of Baker High School, Cpl. Kyle Schneider made the ultimate sacrifice in Afghanistan when he was killed in action on June 30, 2011. Cpl. Schneider will be represented by his parents, Rick and Lorie, as Grand Marshall of this year's parade.
After deploying to Afghanistan in January of 2011 in support of Operation Enduring Freedom, Cpl. Schneider operated with his platoon out of Patrol Base Amoo and Patrol Base Hanjar in the Sangin District, Helmand Province, Afghanistan. He survived a direct IED blast while on patrol in May 2011. After care for his injuries and observation, Cpl. Schneider insisted he be sent back to his combat outpost in Sangin. He would not leave his men to whom he was devoted, for which he was awarded the Purple Heart Medal. On June 30, 2011, he was killed in action heroically protecting his men. Cpl. Schneider was posthumously awarded a second Purple Heart. He gallantly rests with valor.
"Schneider was a man who most people pray to be like. He was brave, he was loyal, he was humble and the thing I knew him most for, he was selfless," said Capt. Glenn P. Baker, the commanding officer for Company E, 2/8. "In the end though, he lived like he died. Putting others before himself with the same fervor, curiosity and paternity that wouldn't let him put another in harms ways without taking most of the danger himself."

Jake Bugg, Twin Atlantic and Midge Ure are among a host of acts set to play at a major concert to mark the staging of the Ryder Cup later this year.
The gala will also feature performances by Scottish Ballet, the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, National Theatre of Scotland and Scottish Opera and will see both the US and European golf teams introduced on stage.
Texas, Nina Nesbitt and Eddi Reader add to the line-up at the SSE Hydro in Glasgow, with the headline act still to be announced.
The September 24 show is being organised by DF Concerts and produced by Kim Gavin, who created the London 2012 closing ceremony.
It will see a number of collaborations between the ballet, theatre, opera and orchestra groups and will also feature short films building up to the Ryder Cup at Gleneagles.
Mr Gavin said: "The Ryder Cup is one of the most exciting events in the sporting calendar and to have the opportunity to work on two of the biggest sporting events in the world (Ryder Cup and London 2012 closing ceremony) is a dream come true for me."
A delighted Sam McTrusty, singer with Glasgow rock band Twin Atlantic, said: "Golf has been part of my life longer than music has and in more of a personal way."
Organisers say the show will have something for golf, music and art fans and will be a great way to welcome some of the world's top golfers to Scotland.

For my Students
This morning at Toncontín Airport, Austrian anthropologist and documentary filmmaker Leo Gabriel, member of the EU's election observation team, spoke out against the EU's official whitewashing report. Another person on the inside who requested to remain anonymous told me that in fact the majority of the members on the EU observation delegation were not in agreement with the official statement claiming the elections were transparent and fair, but were afraid of losing their jobs and/or future lucrative observation opportunities if they spoke out.
EU observers arriving at the airport:
An interview I gave to John Holman of CCTV Saturday night.
Radio Globo statement in English (see http://www.hondurassolidarity.org/2013/11/24/military-presence-at-radio-... for more detail):
Radio Globo denounces, that at this time, approximately 6:20am, military authorities arrived, since last night, at the antennas of transmission for Radio Globo and Channel 11, stations which did not submit to the gag order that the TSE (Honduran Supreme Electoral Tribunal) aims to impose on the country.
Brittany Peterson from Voice of Russia interviewed me a couple days ago. It's available HERE
Okay, that's really the wrong question. But LIBRE has a clever plan to document fraud at least. I, like my taxi driver on the way to an interview last night, am worried about JOH's plans for today—there are so many possible ways to mar the election (see http://hondurasculturepolitics.blogspot.com/ for frightening details on the technological option, and for everything else). My driver also gave a better explanation of symbolic violence than I have ever heard, and I wish I had been less tired and had had a recording device.

Today around 10:30-11am in Hotel Suites Aurora in Tegucigalpa 5 men and 1 woman armed civilians dressed men with ski masks offered no identification, another 3 were wearing Immigration t-shirts, who went to reception. and they asked for passports for the people in the lobby who were here, as well as asked for all International Observers to come to the lobby, asked them questions and looked through their passports and took personal records. They took 2 passports from Brazilian international observers without explaining why. When they asked why, they say "because yes we can". They explained they were tourists and still they took passports without credible cause.

And then they give us notice. And I had to go back to the city because the parking department is different from the city. We showed all the documents, and it was fine."
Neither Service Concrete nor NEQE were cited for improper postings of their tow-away signs. Most violators are never cited. Elsner told us it is obvious that contractors often ignore the law, which, if violated, carries a penalty of up to $1,000 per day.
"When we learn about a tow zone without a permit, we go out and enforce the law," he said. "But we only have four inspectors."
At the height of summer last year, when construction was in full swing, there was a three-week backlog for the verification process, according to Elsner.
Getting street space used to be automatic, until the Board of Supervisors amended Section 724 of the Public Works Code in 2002. Before, the price of a building permit determined the length of time contractors could usurp parking spaces.
"In the past the street space durations, the amount of time you were given for a building space, was directly related to the cost of your project," Elsner said. "If you had a $40 million project, you got four years' parking. So if you finished in three years, you had a year of free parking. The Board of Supervisors looked at this and decided there was something wrong. Now permits are issued on a monthly basis, six-month maximum. You pay per 20 linear feet, basically one parking space, $82.08."
Elsner said the public cannot tell simply by reading a sign whether it has been legally posted. "They may have filled the sign out correctly, but that doesn't mean they have a permit," he said. The revised ordinance requires temporary tow-away signs to have the permit number on them in addition to the contractor's name and phone number. But some contractors don't bother to apply.
"Our biggest problem we have is with roofers," Elsner observed. "They get a permit to do a roof and say they don't need a street space. What do you mean you don't need a street space permit? Either the building has a huge setback or they intend to fly in by helicopter."
Elsner said the street space ordinance has no set hours or days a contractor may use a street space. "That is worked out with the inspector," he said. "If they are not working, their parking should be for public use."
He said he warns contractors that they are responsible for affixing the signs so they aren't torn down. If there is no sign, the Department of Parking and Traffic is not obliged to tow.
Every day a new list of valid permits is sent to the DPT tow desk. However, some contractors have learned it is cheaper and easier to buy a few paper signs, fill them out, and tape them up rather than get a valid street permit. A sign costs $1.99 at White Cap Industries, a construction supply company.
Cheryl Duperrault is one of the street improvement inspectors at the Bureau of Street Use and Mapping who respond to public complaints. Of the 93 citations issued in 2006, she wrote 32, nearly a third. Duperrault said she cited contractors who simply posted a fake tow-away sign and never sought a permit.
"That has happened," she said. "I'm surprised it doesn't happen more than it does. It's easy to tell whether or not the street space permit is valid because they should have a big white placard visible from the street. It gives the information of the permit." *
The DPW offers a free brochure that describes the process of applying for street and sidewalk permits. The brochure is available at its offices on Stevenson Street or by fax or mail. A permit is required when anyone intends to block the public right-of-way "to construct, improve, excavate, occupy, and/or perform work." There is a hotline (415-554-5810) to see if there is a permit on file.

This sturdy gunvault is as advertised. Fingerprint identification was easy to activate. My only complaint is the loud noice when the door opens. Since this is a small gunsafe, it sounds loud in an enclosed space. Perhaps it will dissuade an intruder! The "mounting hardware" consists of three wood screws, so be prepared to get other hardware if necessary four your mounting requirements.

1. Geno Smith
While I disagree with this move, Geno Smith will be the Quarterback of the Jets. They brought Vick in to push Geno, but the Jets have made plenty of indications this off-season that they will be sticking with the youngster.
2. Michael Vick
The Jets were excited to bring him in, and he has a great relationship with Offensive Coordinator Marty Morninweg. Not only will he help to mature Geno, but he would also be a great fill in if Geno puts up a few stinkers in a row like he did last year.
3. Tajh Boyd
I think the Jets like the idea of the dual-threat Quarterback, which will lead to them jettisoning Matt Simms for Tajh Boyd. Boyd has a lot of raw talent, and has far more upside than Simms.

Great map. I wonder what a "right-wing liberal" stands for?
18 December 2008

There is one oversight: the south east part of Poland was a part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, never a part of Russia.
Unfortunately, explaining the current state of the Polish politics, which is continuously influenced by the distasteful 'shadows of PRL',is rather hard work. Simple questions in Poland are not so simple like they seem to be – the awful truth.
18 December 2008

So do the people in 'Orange-State Poland' complain about the people in 'Blue-State Poland'?
18 December 2008
11:32 am
Very interesting!
With the iron curtain descended across Europe, I went through my teens and everything knowing nothing of what happened in the former German immediately after the War. I was shocked when I found out about the mass expulsions, and worse (though hardly surprised); I wonder what German remnant there still is in Poland.

Yes Brunopolski, that region is Galicja, the land my paternal grandmother's family who emigrated during Blessed Karl's reign.

To be honest with you, this map exaggerates somehow the actual state, for example, the east part of Poland has less citizens, and PO has won in the vast majority of towns; but it does not mean that this map is no longer interesting.
People do not complain about any part of the country, they complain about the other people.
German remnants in Poland: communists were persistently and wantonly destroying them, especially during the first ten years after the War, like every other remains of non-communistic times – they were called 'ideologically hostile'. Even bricks from gothic houses from Silesia were used for rebuilding Warsaw. Fortunately, the communists were rather not sedulous. Since mid 60's people have been taking care of every monument, judging only by its historical and artistic value, not ideology. Of course it normalised actually and finally after 1989.

2015 updates!
2015 is off to a roaring start, hence the lack of updates. There's a lot of exciting things in the works and, while there are some I am not at liberty to divulge too much information, here's a rundown of what I can share.
The Guitarist kickstarter will (hopefully) be coming your way next month from the good people at Under Belly Comics. CW Cooke and I have been wanting to share this story with everyone for some time and have now been lucky enough to find a publisher who is not only willing to distribute this crazy book, but allowing us to do it our own demented way. Maybe they're insane. Along with our talented colorist Jeremy Kahn, we're looking forward to bringing this tale of epic madness to you later this year. Here's a sample page :
Recently my time has been occupied by storyboarding thanks to my agent and the very cool DreamWorks TV (yes, that DreamWorks). I was hired to board an episode entitled Wish Delivery of their series Astrid Strudelman: The Unicorn Whisperer, created by Thessaly Lerner, aka The Ukulady, with animation by Will Guy. They've been fun to work with and it's been a killer experience so far! I'll be sure to update when I have more information as to when the episode will air. Without giving away too much of the story, here's a look at some of the work in progress.
There are also a ton of short stories in the works, some being pitched to literary magazines and journals, as well as a novel being developed. Excerpts from both may be posted soon on the writing page, so keep an eye out.
That's all for now, folks! Hope everyone else out there is having a great 2015 so far as well.
End of year project updates
Very merry greetings to all! I do hope your holiday season is great so far, and would just like to take the time on this stormy winter day to give everyone an update on projects of mine to look out for in the new year.
My new picture book, and follow up to The World's Crummiest Umbrella, is in production now. It will be published by Wandering in the Words press and is tentatively slated for a spring 2015 release. Without divulging too much of the story, I wanted to share a peek of the main character from this whimsical little tale. Here is a quick sketch from my collection of character designs and story notes:
As shared in a previous post, Under Belly Comics has picked up The Guitarist, the new graphic novel series from CW Cooke and myself. The story and artwork are currently undergoing some cosmetic overhauls as we put together the rest of our creative team. Check back here often for production art and updated on release information. This is going to be one wild ride, and to whet your whistle, here's a teaser image brought to you with backgrounds by colorist Melch Valimento.
There are also some exciting developments which have occurred recently in the animation industry. Unfortunately there isn't much that I can share as of now, but I'll reveal that there are some series pitches submitted to networks as well as other opportunities which have presented themselves that may serve as entrance into the field. Hopefully there will be more to share in the new year, so for now, send your good vibrations my way and think happy thoughts.
2015 is going to be one exciting year! Happy holidays y'all!
Happy Turkey Day
Holiday greetings to all of the great folks who take the time to come visit my site! I created this piece entitled "Dinner Music" just for all of you (click the image to enlarge). I hope you all have a joyous Thanksgiving full of family, fun and, of course, FOOD! Amidst all the hubbub, don't forget to take a moment to reflect on what makes you truly thankful.
Before I take off on my trek for turkey, I wanted to share a few photos taken from the event held by Old Capitol Books last weekend for The World's Crummiest Umbrella. I had a great time talking and reading to a wonderful group of attendees, both young and not so young. A huge thanks to everyone who came out and I'll post more pictures soon!
The next event will be held at the Cartoon Art Museum in San Francisco on Saturday, December 13th. If you're in the area, come on by, say howdy, and pick up some early holiday gifts. As they say, the greatest gift is a passion for reading.
Have a great holiday weekend everyone! Gobble! Gobble!
(Mostly) Kidlit and (some) Comic book news!
Hope everyone is enjoying the best time of year, as I am! Being born in late September, I feel as though I have a natural inclination toward the fall and winter seasons and the period between Halloween and New Year's is undoubtedly my favorite span during the year. This is one of the reasons I'm so pleased to announce a load of cool things happening in the next couple months.
First, the good people over at Beach Bound Books posted a fantastic review of The World's Crummiest Umbrella as well as holding a giveaway for their advanced review copy. I can't thank Stacie enough for the kind words, and if you want a chance to win another copy (because you've already bought one, right?) of the book be sure to enter their giveaway contest in the next 10 days!
Coming up in just a couple short weeks is an event for The World's Crummiest Umbrella hosted by the very cool Old Capitol Books in Monterey. On November 22nd I'll be reading the book for attendees, as well as signing and sketching for everyone afterward. There will be copies available to purchase, but feel free to bring your copy from home for me to sign as well. It'll be a fun afternoon for the entire family so I hope to see you there!
Then, on Saturday December 13th I'll be appearing at the world renowned and uber awesome Cartoon Art Museum in San Francisco to read and sign copies of The World's Crummiest Umbrella! I love this place and the great staff there are some of the best people I know. If you're in the Bay Area be sure to bring the family out to stop by and say howdy!
I'll close this blog post with some really exciting comic book news: The Guitarist, by myself and my most excellent writer pal C.W. Cooke (@CWCookeComix), has been picked up by Underbelly Comics and slated for release in 2015! This has been a long time coming for us, and we finally have the chance to bring this saga to the world. There will be some retooling and redesigning happening so we're not sure when it will be out, but I will certainly keep all of the faithful visitors here posted on details as they develop.
Thanks for making it to the end of this post and hope it was a nice payoff for ya! See y'all soon and keep creating!
Labor Day!
Greetings, inhabitants of the bizarre and wondrous dimension we call the internet! I do hope this finds you well and enjoying a lovely Labor Day with family, friends, food, and fun. With the holiday in mind, I concocted a silly little poem (and an even sillier little drawing) to delight all of the kiddies both young and old. Would you like to see it? I knew that you would.
Speaking of the kiddos, have you purchased and/or received your copy of my new picture book, The World's Crummiest Umbrella, yet? I have been pleased as punch by the overwhelmingly enthusiastic response to the book thus far. Your love and support has meant the world to me, and I will just humbly ask two favors of you:
- Spread the joy by telling everyone you know about the book via Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and whichever other social media tools you happen to utilize. I'd love to get the word out to as many folks as possible and I need YOUR help to do so!
- When you do receive your copy of The World's Crummiest Umbrella, make sure to leave a review on the Amazon page for the book. It will help me out immensely and let other visitors know just how much fun the book is for the whole family!
I also encourage you to take pictures with your copies of the book which I will feature right here on my site, just like these two lucky literary fans:
Thank you all, enjoy the weekend, and there's much more to come so stop by again soon!

But seriously, for me, eating healthy snacks in between meals is important because if I get too hungry come mealtime, I will get hangry (that's angry as a result of being too hungry, for those unfamiliar with the term) and there's also a good chance that I will overeat by the time I do finally get to lunch or dinner. … Read More

Super survey ask kids about most memorable TV ads
Stan Stricker
February 11, 2010
Kids can be impressionable, especially when it comes to advertising during high profile events. That's why Youth 2 Youth Director Debbie Fischer was eager to help with a national survey asking local youth what the most memorable ads were for them. The anti-tobacco advocate says 200 Rock County youth were surveyed, along with 13,000 across the nation. She says the top answers locally centered around Doritos and beer. One goal of the survey is to see how this type of exposure may effect children's behavior. Fischer says the results will be used to create alcohol awareness programs with other local advocacy groups.
The Drug Free Action Alliance conducted the national survey.

An NPC female character in the game Bleach: Last Horizon. Many question both her gender and beauty. It has been know to the Last Horizon community that she has/had relations with Axerob and Colin. Axerob seems to have seen QA completely nude, while Colin was quoted in game to " have bathed in her once a month strawberry times". Other relations to QA seem to be horny teenagers with nothing better to do than hit on an npc female (Many characters think shes a real person). Vermiere Hakuma seems to be her mortal enemy, although it has been seen he loves to mess with her as well. Both Vermiere and Queen have odd sexual humor.
I can't believe Queen Arrthosa is really a girl, or an NPC for that matter!

This is one of the first chocolate chip cookie recipes that I created. Two subsequent recipes for gluten free chocolate chip cookies that I now prefer to this one include the vegan chocolate chip cookies on this website, and my all time favorite gluten free, dairy free chocolate chip cookie in The Gluten-Free Almond Flour Cookbook.
For those of you that were wondering, I use this website as a journal for the recipes that I write. Once in a while if there is a particularly classic or special recipe it will make it into one of my cookbooks. However, every recipe that goes into my cookbooks is tested by numerous people, including professional recipe testers. Sometimes recipes are tested upwards of 50 times before they make it into a book.
- 2 ½ cups blanched almond flour
- ¼ teaspoon celtic sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 10 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup agave nectar or honey
- 1 cup chocolate chunks
- Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl
- Stir together wet ingredients in a smaller bowl
- Mix wet ingredients into dry
- Form 1-inch balls and press onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet
- Bake at 350° for 7-10 minutes
- Cool and serve
* Please note: Bob's Red Mill almond flour does not yield successful results when used in this recipe. For more information regarding this matter please see my FAQs.

From as early as 1875, the College had developed ties with Japan and China through the mission work of the Evangelical Church. The exposure to the Church encouraged students in Japan and China to attend North Central College for their education. Henry Tayama, Class of 1893, became the first student from Japan to graduate. Fumiko Miyagi '24 returned to Tokyo to become a renowned artist and humanitarian and a professor of art at Japan Women's University.

The Hemingway Review
Volume 32, Number 2, Spring 2013
pp. 7-27 | 10.1353/hem.2013.0010
An unresolved tension between faith and reason prevails in Hemingway's work, but to fully comprehend this tension, we must first lay to rest the common misperception that his years at Oak Park High School lacked any significant introduction to Darwinian evolutionary theory and were instead dominated by the anti-evolutionary teachings of Louis Agassiz. This essay presents clear evidence to the contrary: Hemingway did indeed receive extensive exposure to Darwinian science in his high school zoology class in 1915–16. The truth lies in the very Darwinian textbook for the class as well as the fascinating laboratory notebook Hemingway kept for the course, which has gone largely unnoticed in the Monroe County Public Library in Key West.

Hi, I'm Julia B. Chan, online engagement coordinator for The I Files, the first YouTube channel dedicated to investigative reporting. You'll be hearing a lot from me in the coming days and months.
That's because on Thursday, our parent organization, the Center for Investigative Reporting, launches the channel. Its "Investigate your world" tagline is a call to action: Watch The I Files, learn more about the issues you care about, engage with reporters and producers online, and activate your community to spread the word.
A story's reach is now as vast as the Internet, and a great story has the potential to go as viral as this guy. That's the reason The I Files is not just another YouTube channel. Thanks to generous support by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, viewers will be able to tune in and check out CIR's carefully curated investigative news videos every day – we're working with some of the biggest names in the business: The New York Times, BBC, ABC, Al-Jazeera and the Investigative News Network. Your eyes will be opened to a world of issues, but beyond that, you will be participating in an experiment we hope will transform journalism through new media.
The I Files team will be chronicling the trials and tribulations of putting together the channel, collecting data around how people use and watch video, and recording it all into a working playbook for you to see and follow our progress.
The I Files has the potential to create significant impact by engaging new audiences in the value of investigative reporting by exposing what is happening in our world. These connections will help support a network for and give a platform to lesser-known and less-resourced video journalists.
We will reach out to journalism schools across the country and ask students to submit videos for The I Files Futures Award contest. The top 10 videos will be selected by a panel led by CIR Senior Producer Steve Talbot and showcased on The I Files. Viewers will then select the first-place winner. More on this coming soon.
The I Files will be at the forefront as new models emerge for how journalism is produced, consumed and shared.
Join us online as we #digdeep into humanistic issues from around the world: Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Google+, Pinterest. Our conversations with you will be vital.
You can follow me on Twitter, too: I'm @onTheBeat.

Tell the Halton Catholic District School Board: Recognize Gay-Straight Alliances
Ontario's Ministry of Education promotes the idea of Gay-Straight Alliances in Canadian schools. The Ministry encourages GSAs as a tool to fight homophobia. It also recognizes the impact that a GSA can have in building bridges between all students. And yet, despite this, one Catholic School Board just isn't buying it. Welcome to Halton Region!
The Halton Catholic District School Board (HCDSB) has previously banned GSAs in their schools. Several board members believe they are harmful, with board members even comparing gay-straight alliances to Nazi groups or sex clubs.
According to its website, the school board serves 29,000 students in a variety of suburbs - Milton, Halton Hills, Burlington, Oakville. And none of those students are taught tolerance.
Indeed, a new policy by the Halton Catholic District School Board only allows for student groups to form to discuss broad "equity" principles, and these groups cannot have the word "gay" in their title. The policy has led one school board member to say: "I'm really worried we went from revoking a ban on GSAs to banning the word 'gay.'"
Send the Halton Catholic District School Board a message that LGBT students deserve a policy that allows them to form gay-straight alliances, and a policy that recognizes their existence.

The good news is we've made it through Thanksgiving (deep exhale). Now is sort of what I think of as the calm before the storm.

This year is so much better than years past though, thanks in large part to all the gains we've made together through Project Organize Your ENTIRE Life.

I actually do have a point here. Here it is. The New Year is the perfect time to jump on the Project Organize Your ENTIRE Life bandwagon and the upcoming Quick Start Guide is a great way to do so.

That's right. It is a power we would all like. I see it as the easy button. Wouldn't life be wonderfully easy of we did not have to invest time into learning. What if all we had to do was wish really hard and it happened? What if we could simply sit on our back ends and say a few odd sounding words and get rich and be lazy?
There is no easy button.

Your position is simply that intuition is reliable is that it?
Sorry, I provided a laundry list of examples where intuition is wrong. Despite your desire for an easy button it simply does not exist.
Your position is invalid and you have no
way to support it. You didn't even bother with an

Certainly intuition exists. The problem is that it is not reliable. People try to claim that intuition is the reliable events and it is something else that is the unreliable. Intuition is based on feelings which may be based on experience even if we do not recognize it. The decision making process may be good or bad. Regardless, it is not a reliable process.
To say intuition is unreliable is to change the actual meaning of the word.
If someone claims to use intuition and by using that claimed intuition makes false claims then that is not Intuition.
I think we agree on that?
1. direct perception of truth, fact, etc., independent of any reasoning process; immediate apprehension.
2. a fact, truth, etc., perceived in this way.
3. a keen and quick insight.
4. the quality or ability of having such direct perception or quick insight.

the knowledge that we are more than these bodies will be known this year..(spirit/soul)

None of those predictions are based on any evidence.
Those sorts of predictions have been made for decades and even millennia.
Those sorts of predictions have been failures in tabloids for as long as tabloids have been around.
Those sorts of predictions are not tied into 2012.
Those sorts of predictions are as bland as fortune cookie messages.

Just wanted to say that i had a very bad feeling, gut wrenching , non-political but horrible feeling in the year 2000.
Now it is 2012- its actually here. I do not feel any impending doom, and i feel like things are going to be ok.
I also feel like time is off, and i have observed that people are all "off" (not themselves), but i think we are transitioning to something better.
My gut usually does not lie to me.
We all have to control ourselves and try to cope.
Dont get me wrong, i hear things that make me very upset, but temporarily.
I hope i'm making sense.
Anyone else feel like its going to be ok?

Three-time international surf champ Corky Carroll answers your questions each week. Hit him up at firstname.lastname@example.com:
Q. Who were the great women surfers back in the early days? Was "Gidget" really a great surfer or just a girl who hung out with the crowd at Malibu? I am a 16-year-old female surfer and would like a little bit of history on my surfing gender.
A. The early great women surfers would have been Marge Calhoun and then Linda Benson. Both of these women not only were tops in the small California surf but also made great showings in Hawaii in the big stuff. Both won the Makaha International Surfing Championships and numerous other titles during their competitive careers. Then came Joyce Hoffman, Joey Hamasaki, Rella Sun and the amazing Margo Godfrey. Kathy Koehner – "Gidget" – was a good surfer in her own right. Her fame came from the book her father wrote about her adventures hanging with the Malibu surf pack back in the 1950s. The book became a movie and that movie is generally credited with being partially responsible for the huge surfing boom at the beginning on the 1960s. Gidget became one of the most famous surfers of all time with movies, a couple of television series and even plays named for her.

Article Summary
Neurons, the nerve cells that send and receive electrical signals within the body, are one of those things that most of us probably don't give a lot of thought to. Educational entrepreneurs Timothy Marzullo and Gregory Gage, however, think about them a lot. They think about them so much, in fact, that they've designed a gadget that lets anyone listen to the neural electrical activity of bugs, and conduct a series of interesting experiments. It's called the SpikerBox, and oh yeah – in order to use it, you have to take the leg off of a cockroach.
