Just wanted you guys to know
Take it easy and enjoy yourself.
Have fun and report back afterward!
be gentle
There has got to be a better way of putting that.
Rats. Double posted... I blame that lousy Bill Gates
Good on yer. Always practice safe cycling.
Have fun!
give yourself plenty of time and take care of yourself
Enjoy and don't be too hard on yourself. Many get discouraged if they pass on a day here and there. You'll ride when you ride. I'm full on in MN since the new year but I'm 6mi each way. I'll stretch it when the roads clear. Good luck!
What are you riding and how far is your commute?
Have fun!
Have fun!
Don't forget to hold your bike afterwards.
Pity you didn't post this on Feb 13 so that the virgin ride would occur on Valentines Day! :lol:
Alright! another new commuter. I wish there were more around here. Its fun when you see others commuting too. Sometimes I feel like the weird one commuting in cold weather and everyone is looking at me like I'm a strange one. Enjoy and take it easy.
The other day, I finally met the person (guy) who was leaving bike tracks in the snow ahead of me. We were going in opposite directions so we couldn't commute in tandem. Kind of hard to tell under a bike helmet and ski goggles but he looked young (20s, I'm 52).
ditto on the what bike, and what type of commute (length, conditions, etc)?
hehe thanks guys
I ride a bad boy 9
the commute is 3.6 miles each way, its pretty laid back, just a couple of turns here and there
I have come to realize that i'm going to need a rack and trunk bag so that i can bring my gallons of water to work without relying on my car
the town that I work in has a water radiation issue. I stay away from it
How do you like the Bad Boy? They have a BB9 in my LBS that I've been eyeing....like I need another bike.
It's amazing dude I can't stay off it

How to Make Horseshoe Place-Card Holders
Next time you entertain, add charming farmhouse style to your dining table with place-card holders made from horseshoes, twine and wire.
To create a cohesive look, use different fruits that are similar in color. Red apples, pears, red grapes and strawberries make an excellent color and texture combination.
The most important element of creating a farmers' market centerpiece is the shaping of paper bags. Start at the top then work inward. Add shape and a crisp, clean line along the top by folding back the bag to create a two-inch rim.
In order for the fruit to sit properly, the bag will need to be weighted down. This will keep the bag from becoming top-heavy and also keep it secure if using outdoors on a windy day. To add the extra weight, pour a four-inch layer of pea gravel in each paper bag.
Add reinforcement to the inside of the paper bag with cardboard. Cut the cardboard long enough to wrap around three sides of the bag. When cut to size, insert the cardboard into each bag. Keep the top of the cardboard tucked just below the top of the folded rim.
Fill the paper bag with packing peanuts until two-thirds full. Make sure there is approximately four inches of empty space along the top of the bag for the fruit.
Give each bag classic country-store style with burlap ribbon cut to size.
Add fruit along the top of each paper bag, creating a stacked, overflowing look.
Secure the burlap ribbon in place along the front of the bag with twine or strands of hay.

"A Rugged Terrain" Top 5 Page for this destination Nan-t'ou by chewy3326
Nan-t'ou Travel Guide: 134 reviews and 513 photos
Nantou County is the only landlocked county in Taiwan. It is sparsely populated and has mountains more rugged than any other part of the island. Tens of peaks soar above 3000 meters here, including Yushan, the tallest mountain in Northeast Asia, at the southern border of the county. No where else in Taiwan can you see scenery as alpine and spectacular as Nantou.
Nantou is what lets Taiwan remain Ilha Formosa. Deep, green forests, lush alpine meadows, soaring peaks, jagged crests; Nantou is unique. No visit to Taiwan would be complete without walking the trails of the many nature reserves and two national parks here. However, as more and more locals begin driving, the mountains are slowly becoming crowded. You probably won't be the only person wanting to escape the smoggy cities. Come up for some air, and hike the mountains.

Retricting access to RAS servers

Hobby Hackers, Part I
As more news agencies and businesses in the region turn to the internet, Saudi Arabia is spawning a generation of hackers and pirate programmers, Part I.
February 25, 2009 1:07 by Alex Malouf
Educational institutions haven't escaped the attention of young Saudis either. Almost two years ago, one potential student who was declined admission to study computer science at Riyadh's King Saud University got angry, went home, fired up his computer, and shut down the university's online discussion forum. The prospective student said he was upset by an official at the admissions department who insulted his high school coursework and told him to come back when he had better grades. After hacking into the Web site, the university's webmaster urged the admissions department to admit the tech-savvy student.
Changing the rules
While there seems to be a lack of statistics on the sheer extent of Internet crime in Saudi Arabia, the Kingdom's authorities passed legislation to tackle cybercrime last year. The Act against cybercriminals includes punishments for individuals or groups who try to "gain unauthorized access to a Web site, changing its look or design, shutting it down, or sabotaging, modifying or stealing the address of that Web site."
Riyadh says there are few Saudi hackers based in the country. Fahd al-Abboud, a member of the Shoura Council's Tele-communications and IT Committee, told the press when the new law was an-nounced that there are "not that many [cybercriminals]. Cybercrime has not become a phenomenon in the Kingdom."
The government's legislation seems to be aimed at curbing religious extremism rather than countering hacking activities. The legislation's penalties include a maximum 10-year jail term and can incur a fine of up to five million Saudi Riyals ($1.3 million) against anyone who builds or publishes a Web site for a terrorist group "to facilitate communicating their ideas or making explosives."
The challenge many online users in the kingdom face is circumventing the government's extensive Web filtering and firewall systems. The Saudi government blocks not only adult content, but also a range of relatively benign information about religion, health, education, humor and entertainment. According to some estimates, there are more than 400,000 Web sites blocked to Saudi Internet users.

The World's Top 200 Public Companies
Ranked by the Carbon Content of their Fossil Fuel ReservesThe Carbon Underground 200TM identifies the top 100 public coal companies globally and the top 100 public oil and gas companies globally, ranked by the potential carbon emissions content of their reported reserves. The reserves of these companies total 555 gigatons (Gt) of potential CO2 emissions, almost five times more than can be burned for the world to have an 80% chance of limiting global temperature rise to 2°C (3.6° F).
The CO2 emissions potential of the coal, oil and gas reserves of the world's 200 largest public fossil fuel companies continues to grow (10.3% since year-end 2010), despite the dwindling carbon emissions budget implied by a broad government policy agreement to avoid excessive global warming.
The Carbon Underground identifies the 100 largest public coal companies, and the 100 largest public oil and gas companies, based on estimates of the potential CO2 emissions of their reported reserves as of October 31, 2014. The trends evidenced in this report demonstrate that reserve growth continues to be the norm for both the oil and gas and the coal sectors as a whole. The 555 Gt CO2 emissions potential estimated to be embedded in the reported reserves of the 200 firms – The Carbon Underground 200 – represents over 400% of the firms' carbon budget allocation, based on their share of carbon emissions potential of global reserves. This report estimates an updated carbon budget based on the only IPCC climate scenario with a future less than 2° C above pre-industrial levels with >66% probability. These estimates broadly confirm growing research on the exposure of public fossil fuel companies, especially those in the coal sector, to potential constraints and revaluation based on stranded assets.
This report identifies changes in the top 200 fossil fuel companies and emissions potential over time, with a specific focus on developments since 2010. The research highlights the concentration of reserves, and hence emissions potential, in a small number of large firms. Still, the dynamism of the coal and oil & gas sectors globally is apparent in the changes among the 200 over time, with 37 companies newly entering the list since 2010.

Companies on the list are investable as of January 31, 2015. Subsidiaries with their own exchange listings that report reserves separately from their parent are eligible for inclusion. Companies that publicly trade only a portion of their overall shares are also eligible for inclusion.
The rankings are based on calculated carbon emissions data using reserves reported as of October 31, 2014. The ranking are adjusted for company mergers and acquisitions through January 31, 2015.
Rankings are constructed using a reserves-based methodology with the underlying core data based on "reported" reserves. Coal reserves are the sum of proven and probable reserves based on the last reported reserves amount by mine. Reserves are allocated to listed companies based on percentage ownership of individual mines. Oil and gas companies are ranked on proven reserves (1P) net of royalty payments.
Emissions Calculations
The Carbon Underground 200 relies on the IPCC Revised 1996 Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories as a methodological framework. The calculation of CO2 emission potential requires several conversions to the raw reserves figures.

Find information on aquariums and supplies for aquariums under this Yellow Pages® heading. An aquarium is a specially designed tank that allows for marine life to function under an artificial habitat. Aquariums are most commonly associated with glass tanks, filled with either salt or fresh water where fish are designed to live. Aquarium supplies can consist of virtually any addition to the tank, such as gravel, plants, decorations, water pumps, food, etc.
Although aquariums are most commonly associated with fish, most people do not realise that they are also capable of containing other types of marine life such as aquatic plants, amphibians, etc. The tanks are designed with filters that ensure that the water is kept fresh so as to prevent diseases from entering the tank.
Fish supplies are available as add-ons to aquariums. In some cases, these can be for decorative purposes. For example, coloured gravel, decorations, and other types of supplies give the tank a more "life-like" appearance. Other supplies are vital to the tanks performance such as temperature control devices, filters, and chemicals to maintain certain water levels.

Jeff of Lincoln, CA - June, 07 2014:
Fantastic product! A bit expensive however this is the lightest and closest fitting quiver you will find. I have a 5 arrow quiver and I've loved it since day 1. The clips, for lack of a better term, are adjustable for easy arrow removal. When you want to keep your setup light, this is the way to go. Just walk in the store and hold the other quiver in one hand and this one in the other. You'll feel the difference! Fits fantastic on the Bowtech Carbon Knight too if you have the same bow I do.

How can we get our toddler to let us brush his teeth?
My toddler refuses to let me or my husband brush his teeth. He simply clenches his mouth closed. We've tried using gauze on our fingertips and a child-sized toothbrush. We've even tried brushing our teeth together, as a family, and letting him hold his own toothbrush. Nothing has worked. I'd appreciate any suggestions or tips.

we let our 20mo old, hold the toothbrush, put baby toothpaste by herself, show her how to rinse and fountain spit. it almost always is a good time just like playing and singing... on off days tho, wrestling is still an alternativeposted 08/14/2006 by fibzki
I actually have the opposite problem. My daughter loves getting her teeth brushed but throws some of the biggest (and I mean biggest) tantrums when I take it away from her.posted 08/14/2006 by a BabyCenter Member
My 23-month-old used to vehemently oppose us brushing her teeth....until she saw her big 4-year-old brother doing it, then she wanted to do exactly what he did. So now we let her brush her teeth first, just like her brother, then we do a "check for sugar bugs" (where we brush the back teeth) just like her brother. For those of you with one child, maybe a demonstration from a playmate would inspire some good dental hygiene? ....since this stage is such a "monkey-see-monkey-do" kind of stage!posted 08/14/2006 by a BabyCenter Member
I pretend to hear different animals in her mouth. Maybe it's a lion, the next time it's an elephant. She let's me scrub them away and often times she'll tell me there's another kind of animal in there. We usually scrub away three different animals and it makes for a good long tooth brushing. She loves it--giggling and thinking of new animals.posted 08/14/2006 by itsme_tiff
One strategy that sometimes works with my 23 month old is to peer into his mouth (even if it isn't opened, I pretend) and then say, "I think I see a [enter favorite animal name]in there" This in turn makes him not only laugh and giggle, but then ask me if there are other animals "in there" and each times proceeds to open his mouth really wide. When he does I stick the toothbrush in and get as many back teeth as I can!posted 08/14/2006 by a BabyCenter Member
We started brushing our son's teeth early, I don't know if that had anything to do with his attitude about it but it has always been part of our bathtime routine. Now it seems that the only battle that we have with the toothbrush is who is going to brush my 16 month olds teeth. He likes to do this himself. We also hold him infront of the mirror while we brush his teeth, he seems to like that a lot too!posted 08/14/2006 by a BabyCenter Member
The very first time my daughter gave me a hard time brushing her teeth, I started a countdown. At first, I would count backwards from 10-0 and end the brushing very quickly. Each time after that, I would count slower. Now she's 17 months and we sing a song twice and then do a slow countdown while she patiently waits with her mouth open because she knows there is an end to it all. The best part of all is that I can use the countdown to anything activity she doesnt really like or even to any activity she really likes that I need to end! :)posted 08/14/2006 by janymeow
At 19 months, Ashley had made up her mind that she didn't like having her teeth brushed and she wasn't going to let me in there. Until I thought of how to get her involved. I ask her, "Ashley are there peas on your teeth...is that pasta on your tongue?" She becomes so intreagued with the fact that there might be food in her mouth, that she opens as I explain how I am going to clean it off. It's also a good way to practice her memory skills by recalling what she ate.posted 08/14/2006 by a BabyCenter Member
My daughter fought to the death until we went to the store and I let her pick out her own electric toothbrush and she loves it. I brush them first and then let her do it. the baby orajel tooth and gum cleaner is a big help as well. Also, instead of just twice a day I give it to her 3 or 4 times a day like when I am doing her hair or cleaning her up after she has eaten, it helps distract her from the hairbrush and washcloth so it is a double help.posted 08/14/2006 by shorty1403
I started "brushing" my baby's gums at around age 3 months twice a day with the finger brush and the Gerber's fluoride-free appples and bananas "toothpaste" (it came in a pack together). She's always loved it, and I think it's because I am brief but thorough. I sing a song I made up about brushing teeth, and I sing that same song every time I brush her teeth. And when the song's over, so is the brushing. She loves it! Now she's 1 and has 6 teeth. I started using a real toothbrush when she got her first tooth, and she now uses the Orajel stages fluoride-free fruity "toothpaste." I think she likes that one even better. I think the key is starting young and making it fun!posted 08/14/2006 by Mistydp6492

- Ronnie Hillman, Derek Wolfe, Brock Osweiler ready to help Broncos
- Derek Wolfe, Broncos' top draft pick, reaches his NFL dream

- Peyton Manning gives Broncos OK on adding QB depth via draft
- Wolfe's decision to wait pays off when Broncos take him in 2nd round
- CU's Ryan Miller selected in NFL draft's fifth round
- Fourth-rounder Philip Blake should add depth to Broncos line
- Omar Bolden, Broncos' fourth-round pick, missed last season with ACL tear
- NFL draft live: Broncos take Arizona State's Omar Bolden
- NFL draft audience increases
The Broncos obviously like low-mileage readings on the football odometer for their prospects.
And with two of their three picks in the NFL draft Friday, Denver selected two of the youngest players on the board.
In the second round, the Broncos selected Arizona State quarterback Brock Osweiler, who left the Sun Devils after his junior season. Osweiler won't turn 22 until November.
And in the third round, with a pick they obtained in a trade with the Cleveland Browns, the Broncos selected San Diego State running back Ronnie Hillman. Hillman played just two seasons for the Aztecs after his redshirt season, coming into the NFL after his sophomore year.
Hillman, who had back-to-back 1,500-yard rushing seasons, won't turn 21 until September.
Fast company. Derek Wolfe, the Broncos' first pick of the draft — 36th overall — was quick to give plenty of kudos to his new teammates.
When asked what it would be like to play in a defense with Elvis Dumervil and Champ Bailey, he said: "It's a huge privilege. I couldn't ask for a better spot to be going into than the best defense in the NFL right now. Hopefully, I can just learn from those guys."
Wolfe is expected to join Ty Warren, Justin Bannan and Kevin Vickerson in the rotation at defensive tackle.
Blast from the past. With former players reading many of the teams' picks Friday, it was former Air Force defensive lineman Chad Hennings who announced the Dallas Cowboys' third-round pick — 81st overall — from the podium at Radio City Music Hall in New York City.
Hennings said "America's Team selects ..." and read Boise State defensive end Tyrone Crawford's name.
A long wait. Because of trades, including the deal to acquire quarterback Carson Palmer, the Oakland Raiders waited until the last pick of the third round — 95th overall — to make their first pick of the draft.
And after two full days, 94 previous picks, the Raiders dived in with Utah offensive lineman Tony Bergstrom. The Raiders have just five picks in the entire draft.
Footnotes. The three teams that selected quarterbacks Friday — the Eagles, Seahawks and Broncos — have other players slotted as starters at the position. The Eagles have Michael Vick, the Seahawks have free-agent signee Matt Flynn and the Broncos have Peyton Manning. The Eagles selected Arizona's Nick Foles, the Seahawks selected Wisconsin's Russell Wilson and the Broncos selected Osweiler. ... The Broncos start quickly today with the sixth and 13th picks in the fourth round, 101st and 108th overall.

Bumbershoot Comedy: Gabe & Jenny"/>
Straight outtta Brooklyn, young comics Gabe Liedman and Jenny Slate are slouching toward the mainstream. He's appeared on NPR, she was briefly on SNL and gave voice to the delightful animated short Marcel the Shell With Shoes On, and together they're developing a show for Comedy Central. Both are close alt-comedy cousins to Sarah Silverman--smart, Jewish, hipster, and working a brand of potty-mouthed humor they always bracket in air quotes. While Seattle traditionally welcomes alt-comedy performers at Bumbershoot, Gabe and Jenny are working their wide-eyed "We're new in town!" routine just a little too strenuously. In their first Seattle show, they weren't quite sure how to size up an afternoon audience of sober Bumber-goers. What works late-night in Williamsburg doesn't always translate so well here...
Without having read their Comedy Central pitch, I'm assuming it goes something like this: Needy, batty, potty-mouthed Jenny thinks Gabe, her nerdy gay BFF, is also her boyfriend! Wacky hijinks ensue! And they start their set with a very funny overlapping monologue, each expertly crossing lines like a radio routine, in which Jenny discusses how great Gabe is (never pressuring her into sex, etc.) while Gabe delicately sidesteps the issue ("If you're not going to wear that top, which looks fierce, I will"). A few episodes of this might work, but eventually their TV characters would have to branch out to other themes.
Then it was on to jokes about Starbucks (this being Seattle and all) and the supposedly made-in-Seattle TV show Frasier, which both profess to love. (Indeed, much of their material seems to draw on their pre-collegiate '90s youth.) The prevailing cloud of irony extended to a series of alternating "Don't you hate it when...?" Seinfeld-style jokes, with an exaggerated gender divide. Gabe comes stage forward, assumes the butchest possible pose, then asks all the bros in the house if they can relate to his problem with watching gay porn on the Internet. (Yes, of course we can, Gabe.) Jenny describes a dream about being sexually serviced by an ATM, but she fails to land the central "bittersweet" joke--a notion directly borrowed from Silverman's famous gag about being raped by a doctor.
Ten years after they met at Columbia, Gabe and Jenny maintain an enjoyably raunchy dorm-room rapport. Still, they're pushing 30 already. Seinfeld wasn't much older when he broke out of the comedy clubs. At some point you've got to admit you're an adult, then drop the air quotes.
Gabe & Jenny next appear with Fred Armisen (8 p.m. Sat., Intiman Theatre) and again with Armisen, plus Kurt Braunohler (1 p.m. Sun., Intiman).

Who you gonna call? The story behind the Ghostbusters music video
How did a funky R&B guitarist and singer get signed on to a spook-tacular music video? No, I'm not talking about Ray Parker Jr.'s very Halloween-appropriate music video for "The Other Woman", but his later video for the scary-funny movie, Ghostbusters. Screen Crush has the inside story on the making of Ghostbusters theme song video (alt source: Daily Motion). [more inside]
Digging up (and editing) Polish lost grooves, funk, soul and psych
The Very Polish Cut Outs is a label/ collective/ collection of that has been busy bringing Poland's lost grooves to a new world audience, everything from disco, funk, soul, electronic and psychedelic for the past few years. They're active on Facebook, where you can get previews of new releases and hear more funky fun music, or you can go straight to the source with their Soundcloud and Mixcloud accounts. Of course, there's even more, if you're down to dig. [more inside]
No relation to Adrian
Tche Belew is a 1977 album by Hailu Mergia and the Walias that was out of print until late last year. It sounds like Jimmy Smith Goes to Ethopia. The album was released a few years into the Derg regime, which ousted Haile Selassie I. Not too long ago, Hailu was driving a cab in DC but is now back on tour, reportedly.
Jedi Backup Dancers
Darth Punk - The Funk Awakens (SLYT) One day Vader and Fett will recruit for the the dark side, disguised as an electronic music duo... they will be arresting ears and administering intergalactic rhythm and beats.

Au Revoir, Mogadishu Vol. 1 — Songs From Before The War
"This Mix (Soundcloud) of '70s and '80s Somali sound is a rich blend of traditional Somali folk music infused with Western funk, rock and reggae and a touch of Indian, Arabic and African flavors. There are hardly any proper releases of this soulful sound of guitar, synthesizer and drums. I spent some months finding, compiling and editing rips of TV and live recordings on old VHS tapes and radio broadcasts to cassette tapes and here is what I got. Enjoy! With love from Mogadishu."

Kings of the beat and their all-star show!
Deavid Soul ("The Avid Soul") aka "Rich & Famous" are a Japanese duo who make house/disco/funk and, more recently, world music. You may remember them from such Dreamcast darlings as Jet Set Radio and Jet "Grind" Radio. Their style is an instantly recognizable mix of 90s house and classic disco with copious samples from hip hop, disco, R&B, reggae and 80s/70s film. For their latest album, they've collaborated with Exotic Light Orchestra to add a Latin American fusion sound to their already eclectic aural soup. They're real good. [more inside]

Habibi funk
"I got to travel a lot in North Africa in the last years through touring with Blitz the Ambassador," Jannis writes on his Soundcloud page, "and the studio session with Oddisee for Sawtuha in Tunisia. While being there, I did some digging and found some incredible music from the '60s and '70s. Some of the music in this mix has zero info on the Net, was never sold on eBay, and has not been 'rediscovered' yet. Others are somewhat classics in the field of 'Arabic groove.' The music in this mix comes from Morocco, Libya, Egypt, Algeria, Lebanon, and Syria."
New music from L.A./Little Armenia
Bei Ru is a Los Angeles-based multi-genre music producer/composer known for his unconventional use of Middle Eastern melodies and rhythms combined with heavy drums, electronics, and a plethora of live instrumentation. His new album, 'Saturday Night At The Magic Lamp', blends electronica, Middle Eastern influences, funk and hip-hop, featuring musicians playing electric bass, electric guitar, electric oud, cello, keyboards and piano

The Bombay Royale, music for daring Bollywood-style adventures
Snakes! Bullets! Super secret agents! Bandits! Monkeys and tigers! Espionage and romance! Are you excited yet? Are you on the edge of your seat? Does this sound like a movie to you? Ah, these are the recurring themes in some of classic Bollywood's greatest cinematic extravaganzas, where acting and plot took a backseat to some of the craziest, over-the-top song and dance scenes ever committed to celluloid. Enter The Bombay Royale, a local 11-piece musical powerhouse who have taken the themes and soundtracks from these films and have infused them with all the colour, production and energy one would expect from a four-plus hour Bollywood movie. The Bombay Royale had first set down to do strictly covers from the gilded '60s era of Bollywood, but soon evolved into writing their own material.Sit down with Parvyn Kaur Singh AKA "The Mysterious Lady," one of the singers of the band, for an introduction to the cast of characters behind the albums You Me Bullets Love (Soundcloud; track-by-track description with musical director and saxophonist Andy Williamson, AKA "The Skipper") and The Island of Dr. Electrico (Soundcloud; a review of the Bollywood inspired surf / disco / funk album).

Christmas in L.A.
Funky-ass Vulfpeck (previously, previously, previously) drops your new funky-ass Christmas jam: Christmas in L.A.
A little Clump of Soul
Ten years ago today saw the English launch of a quirky Japanese puzzler, a sleeper hit that would go down as one of the most endearing, original, and gleefully weird gaming stories of the 2000s: Katamari Damacy. Its fever-dream plot has the record-scratching, Freddie Mercury-esque King of All Cosmos destroy the stars in a drunken fugue, and you, the diminutive Prince, must restore them with the Katamari -- a magical sticky ball that snowballs through cluttered environments, rolling up paperclips, flowerpots, cows, buses, houses, skyscrapers, and continents into new constellations. It also boasts one of the most infectiously joyous soundtracks of all time -- an eccentric, richly produced, and incredibly catchy blend of funk, salsa, bossa nova, experimental electronica, J-Pop, swing, lounge, bamboo flute, hair metal, buoyant parade music, soaring children's choirs, Macintalk fanfares, and the finest theme song this side of Super Mario Bros. Called a consumerist critique by sculptor-turned-developer Keita Takahashi (who after one sequel moved on to Glitch, the supremely odd Noby Noby Boy, and playground design), the series has inspired much celebration and thought [2, 3] on its way from budget bin to MoMA exhibit. Look inside for essays, artwork, comics, lyrics, more music, hopes, dreams... my, the internet really is full of things. [more inside]
Kutiman Returns
Hear "Give It Up", a beautiful new track from Kutiman's followup to "Thru You". Five years after the original Thru You project, Israeli producer Kutiman is teasing the release of a new collection of original tracks, painstakingly stitched together from unrelated YouTube videos. [more inside]
This a little story 'bout this one time, we got booked to play a show, right? It was down in the Keys, we wuz makin' our way - and we ran into the Tiki Bar
"Funk cruises through the Caribbean picking up Afro sounds from Cuba and Puerto Rico. Reggae meets rock in a head-on collision. Jazz and electro hook up for a sidewalk makeout session. Hip-hop seems to hum from the very pavement, and R&B drifts in on the night wind. Suenalo reaches to far-flung corners and retrieves all these, takes them and mashing them together, marrying them—disparate players melded into a somehow harmonious blend.[more inside]
Roberta Flack, Donny Hathaway
Vulfpeck (previously) was "conceived...as a German version of the Funk Brothers – session musicians who performed most of the instrumentals on the 1960s Motown records [previously]. The idea was to channel that era of the live rhythm section." [more inside]
A look back at the funky, psychedelic, soulful 70s in Nigeria
According to the Daptone Gold compilation liner notes (auto-playing music, click on "Biography"to read the notes), written by Pitchfork contributor Douglas Wolk, "the world capital of soul" has moved from the US ("between Memphis and Detroit, with occasional stopovers in New Orleans, Cincinnati and elsewhere") in the 1960, to Lagos in the 1970s, then it went into hiding, finally reappearing in Brooklyn, with Daptone Records. Let's go back - why Lagos in the 1970s? [more inside]
Martin Solveig - Defected In The House
Need a few hours of relaxed, fun, afro-cuban and funk based house DJ mix music to help you get through the end of your weekend, or perhaps to give next weekend the fun party vibe it needs? Martin Solveig (French DJ/Producer, produced Madonna's MDNA album, but don't let that scare you off) has you covered. 2006's Defected In The House is a three disk album available on Grooveshark, full of bongo and conga beats, uplifting lyrics, and just enough fun and groove to keep your booty shaking or your day at work flying by.
What in the hell is country funk? Here are 33 tracks for reference
Here's a song I didn't know existed until summer 2007, when Lemon Jelly's Fred Deakin released an impeccably curated three-CD mix (full 4 hours on Mixcloud). Halfway through the first disc, the music slipped into an easy, loping groove, sunburned and hungover, and a regretful voice offered Otis Blackwell's lonesome lyric: "You know I can be found/ Sitting home all alone …" [Billy Swan's version of "Don't Be Cruel" is] a beautiful record, though, and utterly different from Elvis's 1956 recording. And it opens a fantastic collection of country funk songs, collected and remastered by Zach Cowie of Light in the Attic Records. More sounds below the break. [more inside]

Quincy Jones And Bill Cosby: The Original Jam Sessions, and remixes
Later this year will mark the 45th anniversary of Bill Cosby's first self-titled sitcom, The Bill Cosby Show. Ten years ago, the original jam sessions were released, which are notable for the "various collection of notables who steal the show with contributions at various points." Pianist Les McCann, sax man Ernie Watts, and guitarist Arthur Adams get things going on "Groovy Gravy," Tom Scott shows some legit chops on "Toe Jam," while Jimmy Smith offers sampling of his Hammond B3 on the interlude "Jimmy Cookin' On Top." If seeing Quincy Jones and Bill Cosby get top billing confused you, the album credits reference their roles, which are not front-and-center, except for some vocal improv by Cosby on "Hikky-Burr." You can hear more tracks on Grooveshark, and if you're into more of that modern dance remixery, you might (also) enjoy The New Mixes, Vol. 1, which can also be sampled on Grooveshark.
Don't Talk
Queen's 1982 dance funk single "Body Language" represented a rare move away from their glam stadium anthems into a more spare, disco-driven beat inter-cut with a moaning Freddie Mercury. The accompanying video, full of exposed flesh and suggestive lyrics, was deemed inappropriate for US TV and was one of the first music videos barred from MTV.
The northern soul and R&B sounds of Lenis Guess, straight outta Norfolk
Lenis Guess was one of the pioneers in the Norfolk recording scene. This self-taught vocalist and musician was cranking out records from his 35th Street studio in Norfolk for many artists, including his own and himself. This, producer, singer, musician, performer was at the forefront of the Norfolk sound. With songs like, "I was Born to Be A Drummer," his funk band, The 35th Street Gang, were mainstays of the 70s in and around the Hampton Roads area. Lenis himself had hits like, "I Keep Coming Back for More," and "Working for My Baby." [more inside]
Dancing, from the Audubon Ballroom to Deep Space.
10 iconic mixes from the dancefloors of New York. "It's the city that gave birth to disco, house music and hip hop, the home of iconic, seminal clubs like The Loft, Studio 54, Paradise Garage and the Sound Factory. If you were going to pick one city on earth where you could track the history of dance music through a series of classic sets, then New York would be it. Back in the early 90s, inthemix writer Jim Poe worked as a DJ in New York City, and here he's selected ten iconic mixes from the history of NY clubs, tracking the city's evolving sounds from Grandmaster Flash in 1978 to Francois K at Output this year."

mamako mamasa mamamakossa!
Let's celebrate the 80th birthday of Afrofunk pioneer Manu DiBango with a few of his groovy tunes, shall we? He made a splash way back in 1972 with a catchy (and rather influential) little number called Soul Makossa. A few years later, in 1982, another DiBango tune, also catchy as hell, might've made it onto a turntable or a dance floor near you: it was called Echos Beti. Aside from these two tunes, there's been lots, lots more from this very prolific Cameroon-born saxophonist, vocalist and bandleader, so I've included... [more inside]
The Last Starfighter
A year ago a mysterious young man going by the name of Starcadian posted a surprisingly masterfully composed music video shot for $200 with half of a discarded movie prop cockpit. Other than a few songs on soundcloud, notably Girls Of Midnight which got some moderate blog attention a couple years ago, he hadn't really been on anyone's radar... [more inside]
Last Week, Nile Rodgers Experienced Real Fear
The Hitmaker is Nile Rodgers' 1959 Fender Stratocaster. Last week, he left it on a train in NYC. (Warning: Autoplaying great music) Legendary Producer/Writer/Guitarist Nile Rodgers writes on his blog about the near-loss of one of the most famous instruments in music - "The Hitmaker," also known as the "World's Most Successful Guitar," which Rodgers played on hits by everyone from Chic, David Bowie, Madonna and Duran Duran to Daft Punk. Oh, yeah, and that's The Hitmaker playing the funky riff sampled on Rapper's Delight, too. From a previous MeFi post, here's Nile Rodgers talking about music and, starting at the 55:40 mark, playing The Hitmaker and demonstrating some of the most famous riffs ever played. [more inside]
Elvis Costello and the Roots: 'There's no such thing as too funky'
Ahmir Thompson, aka ?uestlove from The Roots, and their producer, Steven Mandel, are secret "Elvis freaks." One of their early discussions about agreeing to their gig on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon was the possibility about playing with Elvis. The Roots took the job, and Elvis has now played on the show five times. From these collaborations, the seeds of something bigger grew, and that came to a very funky (and political) fruition with Wise Up Ghost, embedded as streaming tracks in this Guardian review, and available in a single stream from a fan on YouTube. If you'd like to hear more about how the "remixing" of some prior Costello pieces (Pills and Soap, National Ramson, and Hurry Down Doomsday, to name a few songs), Costello and Thompson spent about 40 minutes with NPR's World Cafe, or you can read their interview with the Guardian.
Who is William Onyeabor?
William Onyeabor is, or was, a funk musician from Nigeria. He self-released 8 albums between 1978 and 1985 and then became a born-again Christian, refusing ever to speak about himself or his heavily rhythmic and synthesized music. Despite giving up music for a life in the church, Onyeabor can count Fourtet, Caribou and Damon Albarn as fans. The Luaka Bop record label is releasing World Psychedelic Classics 5: Who Is William Onyeabor? next month

The one-off garage rock and funk wonders of Plato Records, circa 1968
About 30 miles west of Charleston, West Virginia is a little town called Milton, which was the home to the Plato Records label back in the 1960s. According to Al Collinsworth, vocalist and co-songwriter for The Outcasts, Plato was intended to be an African-American music (Afrilachian) label, but the only known Plato releases are a handful of garage rock and funk singles from predominantly white bands, like The Outcasts' Loving You Sometimes. That particular track has seen an uptick in interest, since it has appeared on some recent mixtapes, including Diplo's Chasing the Dragon (MP3, streaming on Grooveshark). For more on those few known Plato recordings, Garage Hangover has interviews, information and promo photos from members. [more inside]
Going Back to My Roots, Oh Yeh Soweto! Funky disco, covered and edited
In 1977, Lamont Dozier, Motown veteran, released his album Peddlin' Music on the Side, featuring "the Afro-centric disco hit" Going Back to My Roots. That sound was popular in the US, and also in South Africa, where veteran alto player Teaspoon Ndelu covered the song with his group Teaspoon & the Waves as Oh Yeh Soweto, "changing the lyrics and toughening up the beat, but with the same killer riffs!" The one fault with the song could be that it's only half as long as Lamont's original. Fear not, Dr. Horn has edited the track into an extended form, which you can stream or download from Soundcloud.

Chic - Good Times, I Want Your Love, Just Out of Reach and City Lights
The Mothership Connection
Say you love me or I'll kill you!
Jun Togawa is sort of like what you'd get if you crossed Kate Bush and Mike Patton. Togawa, who became known in Japanese culture after appearing in a bidet commercial, was half of the electro-cabaret band Guernica, which sometimes sounded very classical and sometimes sounded very new wave and sometimes much stranger. Somewhat more straightforward is her rock outfit Yapoos, which similarly varies quite a bit in sound and style. Her solo work, unsurprisingly, is quite melodramatic, with some very interesting arrangements, both parodically poppy and funky. I particularly like her covers of All Tomorrow's Parties by the Velvet Underground, Brigitte Fontaine's Comme à la Radio, and – weirdly – Pachelbel's Canon.

Special, Buy 2 Get 1 FREE Offer! Buy 2 Rat Zapper Classic Rat Traps & Get 1 FREE! Shop Now »
Let's face it: killing rats probably isn't one of your favorite things to do. Which is why the Rat Zapper Classic was made to be as humane, safe, and easy to use as possible. If you want a top-quality solution that will deliver years of dependable service, buy the electronic Rat Zapper Classic for quick control of your rodent problem.
If you have average-sized rats and a need for less than 20 kills per set of batteries, get the Rat Zapper Classic electronic rat trap, equipped with a large chamber size. However, if you are dealing with larger rats, consider buying the Rat Zapper Ultra (sold separately), equipped with the largest chamber size available and is suited to kill more than 20 rats per set of batteries.
The Rat Zapper Classic is equipped with smart circuit technology that senses when the rodent enters the trap. Once the rodent is inside, the rat steps onto the metal plates, completing the circuit and the trap delivers a quick, humane 8,000 volt shock. Since rats have the ability to restart their hearts, the shock is applied for 2 minutes ensuring a high kill rate. Each time the trap catches a rat, the light on top of the trap flashes red to indicate a kill. You can "zap" 20 rats with one set of 4 "AA" batteries, which makes it a truly effective rat trap.
How easy are they to use? Very--and that's just one reason why they're so popular--just insert batteries, bait, place, turn it on and relax. First, insert 4 "AA" batteries into the battery compartment. Using the entrance, bait the trap along the back wall using a small amount of peanut butter, dry pet food or nuts. Place the trap where you have seen signs of rodent activity or along the wall where rodents primarily travel. Turn on the Rat Zapper Classic. A red light will blink once indicating the trap is working properly.
The hands-free, "no touch, no view" disposal reduces the "yuck" factor of a common mouse and rat trap. Clean-up is easy and it can be reused indefinitely--your friends and family will want to borrow it for safe, humane rat elimination.
The Rat Zapper Classic is safe for use anywhere in the home. Built with high-quality electronics, recycled plastics, and recycled packaging, the Rat Zapper Classic is both effective and environmentally friendly. It is ideal for attics, garages, basements and sheds. While it's always wise to use caution around children and pets, there is no blood, mess, chemicals, or poisons with the Rat Zapper Classic.

Has anyone had Monoamniotic Twins, and can calm my nerves??
I am around 9 weeks pregnant, I already had my first ultrasound already and found out it was twins. I got the ultrasound after seeing my doc, so we haven't discussed the fact of the twins, but I am pretty sure that they are monoamniotic identical twins, and I have been reading that it is very dangerous and that the babies only have a 50% chance of survival? I am terrified. I had a MC at 14 wks about two years ago, and these twins are by blessings! Can you mothers out there give me any advice until I can see the doc, so my mind will ease a little!! Thanks in advance!

I just wanted to let you know I delivered monoamniotic twins 13 years ago. The pregnacy was very complicated and very scary. They were born at 32 weeks by c-section due to the complications. They were 3 lbs and I am happy to say they are very healthy now and are inseprable. I am blessed even more because they are also considered to be mirror twins. I faced just about every complication from this birth so if you have any questions I would be happy to answer them from my own experiences.posted 08/26/2013 by a BabyCenter Member
I just found out I am also pregnant with mono/mono twins due Jan 13, 2014. I see a perinatalogist and they told me that the biggest risk to our babies is the umbilical cords rapping around each other and cutting off the blood supply. My doctor told me that I would be admitted at 24 weeks and Continually monitored until the babies either tangled themselves up or made it to 35 weeks. I would highly recommend getting a perinatalogist. These are very high risk pregnancies and you won't the people that are best educated on how to handle this. It has been very scary for my husband and I very scared for what's to come.posted 06/01/2013 by zooters0310
yes! Get on facebook and join the group Momo Twins: Pregnancy, birth, and more!!!! I wasn't told anything after my u/s other than they were in the same sac. I asked the tech and the dr if I was at risk and they both said no. YES WE ARE! You are correct, we stand a 50% chance, but if you are smart and go to a perinatologist, or MFM then you will be monitored closely (VERY CLOSELY) and your chances sky rocket! You have to breath and stay calm. That is the best thing you can do. The facebook group is nothing but mom's and mom-to-be's of momo twins and they give you the honest, loving reality. Not the scary stats and warnings that google does. Scroll through their pictures, SOOOO many success stories. These babies are miracles! And they are so much stronger than we realize. The girls on that page have been my live saver. I just found out 5 days ago I'm a momo mom-to-be, and those women have saved me! They will answer any questions, and guide you through this step-by-step.posted 04/08/2013 by TammySchumacher
Hi There, I am a mother of 14 month old momo twin girls. I know exactly what you are experiencing I went through it. I found out at 4.5 months that I was having momo twins and the experience was the most stressful I have ever gone through (and I have two boys as well). Just remember the doctors always give you the worst case scenario. I was admitted to the hospital at 28 wks pregnant which was the hardest part. It was very boring sitting there basically what they did was monitor doplers every day twice a day and ultra sounds 3 times weekly. You also have the option of being an outpatient which i did do as well. I delivered my girls at 33.5 wks pregnant and they were 4.1 and 4.2 pds the biggest babies in the nursery. At first it is very overwhelming because teh babies are in the NICU and you are worried about pumping, you are sore from your c-section. But it get's better. My advice is don't google!!posted 09/19/2013 by andrea_bonin83
I am 30 weeks and 3 days pregnant with MOMO twin girls! Have faith and walk day by day. I have been in patient since 26 weeks and 3 days, with no incident yet. They are growing beautifully and we are awaiting their arrival by September 18... Warning, if you stress, it will get you no where, I know it is hard and crazy, but once you are informed, put it aside and love the pregnancy you are in and stay in the moment. Wouldn't trade it for anything!posted 08/26/2013 by MandaPanda1000
I am a proud mom of monoamniotic twin boys born at 32 wks. They are now seventeen and extremely smart and big! Its terrifying at first...when you know how complicated the pregnancy can be. Get lots of rest and eat everything GOOD;well balanced diet. Contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com if you would like to really talk; this site does not give much room to really get specific. I have an amazing story of survival of both myself and my boys throughout our pregnancy. Stay educated; but dont freak yourself out...I did! My doc wanted to take all my books away. He said...trust me. Hope to hear from you...very excited to hear your story! Shannonposted 04/27/2015 by shannonnormington
I Had mono mono twins before I really knew what they were. Just that they rare. They are now 26 years old. When they start to talk be prepared for them to talk to each other I'm their own language. Don't worry about it; it's actually kind of cool. We enjoyed listening to them. Enjoy every moment watching them. We did.posted 07/28/2014 by talilayne
