PortalTaxi.com – Indie Music Network – Music News: Jack Ely of "Louie Louie" Fame Releases New Full-Length Record, "Love Is All Around You Now"
(portaltaxi.net/music) – The original lead singer of the Kingsmen, Jack Ely (pronounced e-lee), has released his most recent LP album, a modern gospel record called "Love Is All Around You Now." The record includes thirty six minutes of spirit-filled music from one of rock 'n roll's most influential rockers. "Love Is All Around You Now" is free from all pretense, every lyric penned with obvious earnestness and passion for the underlying meaning and mission. Composed with the complexity and humble intellectuality that characterizes much of the music written in the nineteen-sixties, some of the tracks on "Love Is all Around…" sound like folk anthems not unlike the best of Dylan or Baez, while others sound more like psalms of praise and worship no music listener will be surprised to hear in progressive churches even thirty years from now.
The record is not-at-all without backbone, however, which should not surprise fans of Ely himself, whose fame is largely garnered from the unstoppable, legendary classic rock single, "Louie, Louie," recorded by his original band, the Kingsmen, in 1963. The record has elements of funk, as in the fourth track, "Since the First Time I Touched His Hem" (an allusion to Biblical miracles worked by Christ when afflicted persons reached out to touch his robe), as well as elements of groove, as in the title track, "Love Is All Around…," and there are – naturally – elements of low, low-down blues rock, as in "See the Light."

Great stuff! Thanks, Tom!
landing spot. will be interesting to see how he does.
This weekly update will have a few brief notes about a couple prospects, and mainly be about some of the visitors I've confirmed for the U Conn game. This is an initial list that will most definitely grow as the first game gets closer, and as I talk to more people.
6'5", 225 lbs.
Defensive End
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Deion quiet with his recruitment, but has always listed Michigan in his list of schools he has interest in. He recently told me that his list is now down to five:
Michigan, Pitt, Penn State, Georgia, and South Carolina are my top five for now. I might wait until signing day to decide, or I might announce at one of the All Star games I was nominated for.
The main all star game he's talking about being nominated for is the Army game, which is a nice honor. He also told me the Michigan coaches want him to wait until the end of the season to take his official visit so they can make sure he's their main focus. Interesting strategy which could mean a few things. Either they really want to give him enough attention, or they don't want him to try to commit with Anthony Zettel still on the board and two defensive ends already committed. I'm not sure which is the case.
6'5", 265 lbs.
Defensive End/Tackle
Muskegon, Michigan
Knox is an instate kid that has a couple MAC offers under his belt. Grades and qualifying test scores have been the issue with Knox, but he's working towards rectifying that.
I retook the ACT, I got a lower score but a better score on the math part. I have all core classes my first trimester, and if I ace those classes then I'll be qualified.
So there's that. He told me he really likes Rich Rodriguez, and if he gets qualified Michigan has a good shot. His top three is Michigan, Michigan State, and Illinois. His fate is in his hands.
I'll post these here for now. Since this is on the front page I'll create a diary later with more updates so you can follow along.
Great stuff! Thanks, Tom!
The Stanley twins come from an outstanding family. They have excellent grades. The Coach Frey family, religious group on the OL helps. (The twin's father is a ND fan, however.)
How awesome would it be to have the Davis twins as the starting corners one day?
turn into the Pouncey twins.
and how bout having the stanley twins at the tackle spots
and maybe Terrence Talbott can grow 4 inches and gain 75 pounds and become as big as Teryy Talbott, then we can have them both play DT.
Oh wait, we run a 3-3-5. We only need one of them.
Ok I got it, what if Terry Talbott lost 75 pounds and shrunk 4 inches and they both played corner.
I give up
...and twins
The Talbott brothers were born 9 mos apart
Before anybody asks about Kaleb Ringer - yes, they're related.
Ahh, yes thank you. I couldn't remember what I forgot to add in there. I edited the post to reflect our conversation about that.
I... love... Tom Vanharren and his recruiting updatesss,
Walls, D Hart and recruits making their own fate
A Clinton-Dix decommit and recruits from in-state
andd twinnnnsss
Possibly two sets of twins going to Michigan in the class of 2012, I can see it now...
Michigan- Where "twins" happens
All your twins are belong to us.
Due to restocking our roster of scholarship players, if the twins are identical, can we use one scholarship on both since they originated from the same zygote?
RR and Co.
Edit: Double post
Don't forget the confusingly named Talbott brothers.
Any news about MI LB James Ross? He did well at OSU's summer camp. Is he visiting Michigan? We could really use a highly rated MLB.
He spent most of the summer touring campuses and working on his weaknesses, this is a guy who REALLY wants to improve and has a good head on his shoulders. He's been building relationships with each college's staff, and he really likes Michigan. He just wants to see them win. From what I've heard, there are a couple games that are possibilities with Royce Jenkins and Terry Richardson, but nothing definite yet.
It sounds like it will be great to get Tom Shaw around the program, not just for Nick Patti but for influence with many FL recruits. From what I've seen, Mike Barwis is a big name in his field (pro players coming to train with him, etc.), and it can't hurt to have someone like Shaw more familiar and comfortable with Barwis' program.
Great info as always!
I was thinking the same thing as I read the post. It's amazing how many "pipelines" are created by guys like Shaw. The way we're going after Florida kids in recent years makes staying in his good graces that much more important.
are correct (6'5" 225 lbs) then he is almost exactly the same size as Craig Roh was in HS. I would think there is a decent chance he might end up playing the same position as Roh at UM (SAM) and not really be in competition for a spot with Zettel (a true DL).
Michigan is just recruiting him as a strongside DE
You are correct. I asked the same question and Magnus has said that he is a DE.
Any news on Matt Godin/Danny O'Brien visiting for the UConn game? I know they want to visit Michigan several times this year together, and I heard the UConn game being thrown around as a possibility.
We need to recruit as many DBs as we can get our hands on. The list compiled for the UConn game visitors is impressive from that aspect. I hope lots of them materialize, Michigan has to also recruit LBs, that defense needs to start having depth, Offense wins games, Defense wins championships!!
I don't think we need as many DBs as you think. We have about 16 or 17 safeties. We could use maybe one or two more cornerbacks, but we still have needs at OL, DL, LB, WR, TE, and RB.
Hey, Tom - where are the Davis twins from?
It would be great to get both sets of twins on campus at the same time for a game. I remember reading a while ago in some article agout how twins appreciate hanging out with other twins because they can all relate to what its like to be a twin. SYNERGY, baby, SYNERGY!!!
They go to Austintown Fitch in Ohio, which is the same high school as 2012 running back William Mahone, who "Michigan Scores High Marks With" ($). Basically, Mahone went to camp at Michigan and they're now in the mix. I smell a TRIFECTA
The mail in Houma, LA, must be traditionally slow. Daren Kitchen has been saying his offer is "in the mail" for about a month.
That being said, if our cornerbacks keep dropping like flies, I wouldn't be surprised for it to actually arrive at some point...
Don't knock Houma, I was born there, but yeah, time does move slowly down there.
Jarred, I grew up in Houma. ST class of '84. How about you? Everything is much slower down there.
My family moved to Memphis before I turned 2, but I still have a lot of extended family down there. In fact, I'll be down there for a wedding Labor Day weekend.
Good stuff Tom. After a blowout against UConn, we will have recruits jumping at UM to play for the Wolverines. Walls would be a nice pickup and Jenkins-Stone would be good too for next year, although I don't know much about him. Keep up the good work!
James Ross!! We can't let this kid get away. Can't let sparty get the top player in the state again. Especially a defense player. Can you imagine Gholston, Thomas, and Ross? Yikes!
If we don't get Ross, I'd be surprised if he ended up in East Lansing. More likely, Penn State or OSU.
The MSU game this year is going to be extremely importat on many different levels. While that trio is possibly scary, Ghoston will be NFL bound after his Junior season (prossibly?).
trying to see the glass half full here, even in the face of worst case senario. by the time they reach there prime, we will be on a full 100% experienced RR Dilithium led team, winning the 2011 Big Ten (12?) title, and then MSU is good, and by us beating them it gives us strength of schedule points and helps work towards a National title in 2012.
I'd be beyond stunned to see Kaleb Ringer at UM. Everything I've read about him indicates he'll be at Ohio State. I'd love to see him be a Wolverine, but I just can't see it.
Deion Barnes kind of looks like Braylon.
It's been stated before, but OSU has a really small class ticketed for next year, and already a commitment at linebacker. I'm not saying he won't end up there eventually, but they might hold off on Ringer for a while before they see how their situation with other guys ends up.
no, he's a dead Ringer! (sorry, couldn't help myself)
Not sure he really likes any team as a fan with these conflicting stories. This rivals article from Sept. of 2009 says he grew up loving OSU. I'm guessing his fan affiliation won't play a role in his recruitment. http://michigan.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=985148
Maybe I'm just being a booger here, but I'm hoping Knox doesn't get offered/commit to Michigan. I've had just about enough borderline qualifiers to last me for a few years...
Amen to that. I wish the kid well, but we should stick to guys who will actually get admitted and stay eligible...... not to mention the APR concerns.
Todays paper said that Knox had signed with Toledo. I haven't heard anything about that.
Well, he can't "sign" until February 2011. So that paper either had the info wrong or you're mis-remembering.
I go to the same school as the Stanley twins. Both are grade A offensive linemen. However, I unfortunately cannot tell the two apart. So there's that.
of UConn would really go a long way. Here's to that! Here's to a great season! I'm totally pumped! F all the negatives! I think we surprise a lot of people!
elsewhere, but Deion Barnes is a ringer for Braylon, no? Thought I was looking at Edwards when my eye first came to that photo.
I actually went to school with Damon Knox (Muskegon High School) and he's really high on Michigan. Once his grades are straightened out I expect him to go Blue.
How good are some of these 2012 visitors...any 5 star prospects?
Muskegon at Macomb Dakota 7:00 Aug 26
Should be the game of the year in HSFB.
And, Bernard Taylor plays for Dakota. 3* Scout - Indiana
Really like how many guys are going to be there, after we win I hope to see a lot of great recruiting news the next week.

Does not work with Comcast
This review is from: Cisco Small Business 100 Series SF100D-08-NA Unmanaged 8-Port Desktop Switch
Pros: Looks better then most Ethernet Switches
Cons: I've had a cheap Ethernet switch that worked with Comcast because it doesn't try to assign new IP addresses for each ethernet outlet. Comcast has a restriction for only one IP address, this might apply to other internet service providers.

The Day I met T.S.

The Day I met T.S.
Written by: Christopher Boskovski
The Day I met T.S.
by. Christopher Boskovski
It was a gloomy day last year, and I sat in the classroom of senior year of high school. My teacher, a brilliant man who was full of wisdom and experience, came in and stood infront of us tired and half awake teens and started to read a verse from memory.
"Let us go then, you and I
when the evening is spread out against the sky,
like a patient etherised upon a table..."
As I sat there, listening to the beautiful words roll off my English teacher's tongue and lips, something in my heart shattered and I grew very emotional and I sat up and looked right into my teacher's eyes and I could hear the poet's words stab me in the heart with his pen and heart full of mystery. What was this great verse of poetry that my teacher was quoting and shaking my nerves every which way. My teacher finished with a tear in his eye. A few kids clapped, and the rest texted their friends away, and I sat there quiet and full of mixed emotions of excitment and sorrow. To hear this sad poem, that was beautifully reversed from complete memory, very impressive I had thought in the back of my mind.
"Does anyone know what I had just read?" my teacher said, wiping the tear that rolled off his cheek. Everyone sat quiet and didn't want to answer, with that phobea of getting the question wrong and being embarrsed. My teacher looked at us. I was still in amazement and sorrow. Soon my teacher opened his mouth and taught his lesson for the day. We learned of Modernism of the artist and the "Death of Romantism" and how World War I changed the way artists, poets, thinkers and the average Joe and Joesphine thought about life. Soon, and I will never forget that moment, when my teacher turned away from the whiteboard and announced the name of the poem. Many of you poets and readers already know, just from the title, but I'll say it anyway.
"The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock. by T.S. Eliot." my teacher announced with pride and a type of zealous attitude in his voice, that uplifted you from your seat, and made you plung into a poetry reading phase. All I wanted to do, was read that poem over and over again, till it was printed and stamped into my memory of bliss. That week, after school was let out, I went to my teacher and talked about this man T.S. Eliot. He intoduced me to beauty and a new era of poetry. I later went to the bookstore and looked up T.S. Eliot and found a thin book of poetry of his early works. I turned to the first page after the introduction and it was the poem that my teacher had read. I quickly plunged into the book of outstanding poetry and buried my thoughts and imagination and read the poem over and over. There was this one part where I couldn't read it, because it was so emotional, I cried and cried tears of sorrow, yet a hint of joy as well.
"When I am pinned and wiggling on the wall."
That was the line, the line that made me cry. That feeling of being useless and hard to understand. To be pinned on the wall of mortality and depression and having no way of getting off the wall, for you are pinned, and the only thing you can do is wiggle away, till the nights pass. It was sad. That day I discovered something that spoke to me in plain english. Something that captivated my heart and made me shed several tears over and over. That day I met a man who spoke to me. That was the day I met T.S.

Respond to Review of Vega
by KarolGajda
Review: I love this place. Traditional Polish foods, as well as non-traditional Polish foods, with many vegan options. I ate here dozens of times when I was in Wroclaw for 5 months (2010). I'm looking forward to going back in a few months. Everything I had there was phenomenal and I even introduced omnivores to the food who would agree with me.

Man convicted of double murder released on parole | Crime
MODESTO - Stanislaus County District Attorney Birgit Fladager announced Friday that Edward Haro, 54, was found suitable for parole. Governor Brown declined to overturn the parole board's decision which resulted in Haro being released back into the community on Jan. 21st. He is currently residing in south Modesto.
Deputy District Attorney Doug Maner had appeared at Haro's last parole hearing in August 2010 and argued for continued confinement based on the violent nature of the offense and lack of rehabilitation. Commissioner Anderson released Haro from prison despite the fact that, at Haro's 2008 hearing, other members of the Parole Board found Haro to be "less than honest," his credibility and remorse, "questionable," and that Haro "continues to be a danger to public safety."
The 2008 parole denial was affirmed by Stanislaus County Superior Court Judge Scott Steffen who noted that Haro, "remains a current threat to public safety." Four previous Parole Boards had also found Haro to pose an unjustifiable risk to society.
Haro was convicted by a jury of two counts of murder and two counts of kidnaping with firearms allegations in 1986. Haro was serving a thirty-one years-to-life prison term and was being considered for parole for the fifth time. Haro and four crime partners killed Gilbert and Joseph Flores after they accused them of burglarizing Haro's home. Haro had threatened on several occasions to kill the persons who stole his property and went in search of them with several armed companions. The Flores brothers were kidnaped at gunpoint and taken to a remote orchard in rural Stanislaus County where they were shot over ten times with three different guns. Haro and his crime partners then left the Flores brothers to bleed to death in the orchard while they went to a bar and drank beer.
Haro's version of this crime has always been inconsistent with the facts of the case and he has been criticized by previous Parole Boards for minimizing his responsibility for the crime and denying his true level of involvement.

HCS 2016-2017 Calendar
Haywood High School is available to all ninth- through twelfth-grade students in Haywood County. Located in the heart of the Tennessee Delta, it is approximately 60 miles northeast of Memphis and 25 miles west of Jackson.
Haywood High is a comprehensive school offering a wide array of academic and technical courses.
Our vision is for Haywood High School to be a school of excellence, providing all students with the knowledge and skills to be successful in life.
The mission of Haywood High School is to assist all students in acquiring the knowledge, skills, and character necessary to be successful, reliable, productive citizens.
Historical Background
Haywood High School serves all of the ninth- through twelfth-grade students in Haywood County. Part of the Haywood County School System, Haywood High School offers a comprehensive curriculum, instructional support programs, and student personnel services including library/media, health, and guidance services.
The present campus opened in the fall of 1970 with one building. This original building with its open classroom design remains central to the campus and continues to house the principal's office as well as the library, guidance office, little theater, gymnasium, cafeteria, and classrooms.
From 1970 until 1976, Haywood High School was for students in the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grades – students who before 1970 went to either the old Haywood County High School or to Carver High School. During the early 1970s, ninth graders went to Haywood High, Junior Division, at the old Haywood County High School campus. This Carver High School campus was used for senior high vocational classes during this time. In 1976, when the new Haywood High Vocational-Technical Division opened, the ninth grade and the vocational education division were brought to the present campus.
Haywood High School is currently operating under the administration of its fourth principal, Mrs. Dorothy Bond. Mr. Robert Mitchell served as principal from 1999 until May, 2010. Col. Lloyd White was principal until the fall of 1976 when assistant principal Mr. Gordon Perry assumed the role. With the addition of the vocational school to the campus in 1976, Mr. Hallum Smith, who was serving as system-wide vocational director, moved to the Haywood High campus. Mr. Robert Mitchell became the vocational director after Mr. Smith's retirement in 1982, and held that position until he was chosen to replace Mr. Perry who retired in May 1999. Currently, the school has three assistant principals: Dr. Jerry Pyron. Mrs. Michelle Tillman, and Mr. Drayton Hawkins. Mrs. Pam Diebold is serving as the system's Director of Career-Technical Education (formerly vocational education).
Since the construction of the career-technical building in 1976, the campus has been enhanced with the addition of tennis courts, a baseball field, a football practice field, a walking track, a field house, computer labs, additional office space, a greenhouse, a portable classroom which houses students who are assigned in-school suspension, and in 1997, a new classroom building.

I was getting ready for today's ride, when out of the blue my back seized up on me as I bent over (seated) to tie my shoes. What the heck???
Anyway, I could hobble, so I decided to ride (slowly) and see if I could ride through it, perhaps loosen it, et.
I managed twenty miles, and it wasn't too bad, except stopping for traffic signals. When I got home, getting OFF the bike was a real struggle, and I sort of limped into the house, my back sending red flares skyward. It was actually easier to ride than to walk. Now I'm hobbling about.
So I got to thinking on the ride about playing with pain, or riding with pain, and how to know when one should draw the line, and stay off the bike, and when it might actually be therapeutic to ride (with care, no hammering, etc.), and when it doesn't much matter one way or the other.
I did get a ride in, and met a monthly mileage goal. Now I'm headed off to a hot bath and epson salts.
Any wisdom out there?

Pieces of brick appear to be falling from a vacant building in downtown Franklin, prompting the city to close a nearby sidewalk.
The pieces of brick, which are about the size of rocks, have come down in front of the Jarve Alexander building, at 97 E. Monroe St. Officials from Franklin's planning department blocked the sidewalk in front of the building on Monday.
City officials said they don't know why the brick pieces started falling.
Senior planner Joanna Myers and building official David Parsley said they didn't know if there was any damage to the building or if the building's owners, Robert Ellett and Gordon Brown, had any renovations planned.
The building has been vacant for the past year-and-a-half, when Padgett's Signs and Design moved out in 2013. Since then the Franklin Development Corp., a city-funded organization, has been trying to find new occupants for the building, which it considers a high-priority project because it's across the street from city hall.
But no projects are slated for the building.
Developer Indreno had proposed turning the property into a cocktail bar with upstairs condominiums. Demolition work inside the building was completed, but the project stopped after the developer had problems getting permits from the state for the dual purposes of the building.
In the spring, the Franklin Development Corp. heard pitches from two other developers interested in converting the building into office space.
Envoy Inc. of Indianapolis proposed spending $2.2 million to create 26 small offices and room for 30 businesses that could share the building's space.
The organization is considering Envoy's proposal but also is looking for new options to fund operations and projects after most of the money committed by the city was spent.

All quotes tagged Success
(9287 quotes found)
"We shouldn't be overly delighted with success nor should we be overly disappointed with failure. We should learn from our experiences and move forward with greater courage and confidence."
"Having the will to succeed is one part, translating thoughts into action is another part and of course a drizzle of luck."
"If everyone knows their roles in the organisation, do their best in their role, then success is definite."
"Sacrifices are essential to achieving success. Sacrificing meaningless tasks frees up energy, time and focus which allows you to channel them to your goal."
"Desire is the starting pointing of all successes and action the enabler. Desire without action is merely fantasy. Staying in fantasy for too long leads to delusion."
"Those what (if's) in your head, they never tell the THRUTH! All they want is to bound you down, to hold you still from taking a stand and achieving your greatest potential! But the true and reality of the matter is that those what (if's) won't say, is that you can do it, it's possible, take that leap of FAITH, you will succeed!..."

Call off the Drug War
Steyn, Mark, The American Spectator
America blames everyone but itself for its habits.
The State of New Hampshire doesn't require much from its school districts-a mutually satisfactory arrangement about to be abruptly terminated due to an asinine Supreme Court decision declaring our entire education system unconstitutional.
But I digress. One of the few things the state does require of my small grade school and every other one is that they post signs on the road warning motorists they are now entering a "Drug-Free School Zone."
It irks me. At board meetings, I'm tempted to stand up and demand we replace it with "You Are Now Entering a Latin-Free School Zone"-which at least has the merit of being indisputable. But it seems the best we can hope for from our public education system these days is that our children aren't heroin dealers by the time they've been through it. And instead of being quietly ashamed of this stunted redefinition of education, we flaunt it as a badge of pride, out on the highway, even at a rural north country elementary school. For even kindergartners and firstgraders must understand that they, too, are foot-soldiers in the "war on drugs." Best of all, like almost all other awards in the American school system, you get it automatically: every educational establishment in the state triumphantly displays the same sign, regardless of whether it's a Drug-Free School Zone or a SchoolFree Drug Zone.
And that's more or less how the "war on drugs" goes for grown-ups, too. South of the Mexican border, they're nailing up their 1999 "Proud to Be Recognized As a Full Partner in the War on Drugs" signs, recently shipped out by the U. S. government. It doesn't actually matter whether the Mexican authorities are cracking down on their drug barons or whether their so-called "drug czar" and half the cops are on the take; Washington still "recertifies" them, because not to do so could send "the wrong signal."
I have some sympathy for these harassed Latins. What's known here as "America's drug problem" might more properly be described as the rest of the world's America problem. Americans like drugs. Americans consume drugs in large quantities. And yet, because as a nation Americans are still sufficiently hypocritical (even in these Clintonian times) to be unwilling formally to acknowledge their appetites, the burden of servicing this huge market has shifted inexorably to the dusty ramshackle statelets in America's backyard. It may well be true that most Mexican police and most Colombian politicians are corrupt, but why wouldn't they be?
Personally, I know or care very little about Latin America, but I'm fond of the British West Indies, and the contorted drug delivery systems required by Washington are destroying one sleepy, shabby island idyll after another. That's why I'm rooting for the Europeans in this transatlantic banana war. You probably haven't noticed that we're in the middle of a banana war, except maybe for the extraordinary number of stories in business publications headlined "Yes, We Have No Bananas." As it happens, yes, everyone has plenty of bananas, but that's still no reason for the United States and the European Union not to go to war over them.
Neither the U.S. nor the E.U. actually grows bananas, but this is the twentyfirst-century version of those nineteenthcentury imperial disputes, where the great powers line up behind one obscure tribe or another and stage a proxy war. In this instance, the U.S. has lined up behind Latin American bananas, while the British and French are on the side of AfroCaribbean-Pacific bananas. Unless the E.U. ceases its banana protectionism, Washington will ban imports of...cashmere. Don't ask me why. Maybe they ran some numbers and discovered that Scottish cashmere workers are especially partial to bananas. In the West Indies, bananas replaced sugar cane plantations when the British figured out sugar could be more profitably mined from beets. But if the cowering, fetal-positioned Caribbean banana loses to its thrusting Latin neighbor, what's left to switch to? …

I feel for the parents of children watching the show. It will be very difficult to explain the tragedy to them.
Dawn's sister appeared on MSNBC , she said Dawn would not want anything done to Tilly . IMHO, they knew he was dangerous from previous incidents . I have to feel for the whale . SW is stating it would not survive on its own . Could they not try with modification ? This poor mammal was speaking out the only way he knew how too .
SW has announced all Shamu shows are canceled indefinitely . San Diego included .
We were planning on going to SW in a few weeks, but not now . Jim & I are so devastated that this senseless incident happened, that we can't bring ourselves to go .
I understand how we feel (the posters here on this thread) and passions run high all around.
It is very hard to separate the tragedy of the loss of a talented, intelligent woman, and what some of us feel is a tragedy of the captive animal.
Thank you all for being considerate of the complexities and the high emotion surrounding this complex issue.
We have tickets to SeaWorld for our upcoming trip, I am so sad about this tragedy
Kathy, disney loving mom of 3

I can't bring myself to do it , not because of the mammal activists . That it is So Sad that there will be no more Shamu shows . I leave in 24 days, I'm not saying I'll never go back, but not right now .
I think this expresses it perfectly.Originally Posted by Shellyamc, post: 192870

To demonstrate this, Xerox engineers showcased a MFP solution to the blogging community that automatically converted a paper document into a Lotus Symphony document in a matter of few seconds! The solution was able to distinguish charts from data and even formatted it properly! Imagine, being able to use your multi-function printing devices to scan documents over a network and store it digitally in a secure Lotus Foundations network!
I kid you not, this prototype solution was a immediate hit among the community present who were blogging the event live on their blogs and twitter accounts.
Caleb Barlow, executive for Lotus Foundations, was also excited to announce the wide availability of VMWare virtualization solution on the platform to allow SMB clients to take advantage of wide range of applications on Microsoft Windows as well. The Vmware solution is available now for everyone!

Like big corporations, small businesses need a robust IT infrastructure, but until now they have not had an adequate solution tailored to their specific requirements. That barrier has been lifted with the introduction of IBM Lotus Foundations™, a new family of software appliances. Lotus Foundations Start™, released in July 2008, is the first product in the IBM Smart Business initiative to serve the $500 billion global small business market, currently the fastest growing IT segment. IBM is entering this market to simplify IT delivery and consumption by small businesses.
Lotus Foundations Start is designed from the ground up for companies of five to 500 employees. This is a distinct demographic encompassing dentists' and doctors' offices, real estate agents, local home builders and the like. Many of these businesses do not have an IT staff, and owners are often stretched for time and resources as they struggle to manage complex IT systems themselves.

Cuba is a jumble of colourful contradictions. Economically poor, yet culturally rich, with beautiful architecture, yet crumbling streets, land so fertile Christopher Columbus thought it was the Garden of Eden. Cuba emits a raw, rough-around-the-edges romance amid the dilapidated structures, the white sand beaches and the vintage cars. From sleepy sidewalks to energetic plazas, the greatest attraction of Cuba holidays are their authenticity. So light up a cigar, sip your mojito, and enjoy.
Go now to Havana, before it changes forever and the Fifties Buicks and Chevrolets disappear from the cobbled streets. Accommodation in Havana is limited, so please call for details on Havana day tours, which are available from Varadero.
Lucky Cuba sees an average of 330 days of sunshine a year, making for a great year round destination. The dry season from November to April is the perfect time to escape the cold, grey winter months back home.
We love Cuba most in the months of March, April, October, and November, when the island enjoys the most pleasant weather and least rain. Temperatures are hot without being comfortable and there is little if any humidity.
Cuba's rainy season, from May to October, is generally still very warm and sunny with intermittent showers. The hottest months are usually July and August, while September and October are in the midst of the hurricane season.View all hotels in Cuba
There are four main carriers offering flights to Cuba from the UK two of which fly direct.
Direct Carriers: Direct carriers from the UK are Virgin Atlantic from London Gatwick to Havana and Thomson from Manchester to Varadero, London Gatwick and Manchester to Holguin and seasonally from London Gatwick or Manchester to Santa Clara (Cayo Santa Maria)
Indirect Carriers: KLM and Air France fly to Havana from London Heathrow and Manchester going via Amsterdam and Paris and also Iberia from London Heathrow via Madrid
Tourist card required
Cuba has two official currencies: the Cuban Peso and the Cuban Convertible Peso. The Cuban Peso is the currency used by locals to buy staples from the state-run shops. As a tourist, you will use the Cuban Convertible Peso. The Cuban Convertible Peso is a closed currency, which means you cannot buy or exchange it outside of Cuba.
Cash is king on holiday in Cuba. Take the right amount of UK Pounds in small notes of 20 Pounds or less to avoid hassle when exchanging. Change your UK Pounds at the Cadeca (Money Exchange Bureau) at Holguin, Varadero, or Cayo Coco airports upon your arrival on holiday in Cuba. Alternatively, exchange your Pounds at a Cuban bank. Once you leave Cuba you cannot exchange your Cuban Convertible Pesos for anything else. Do not take US Dollars, as you will be charged a 10 percent tax and an eight percent exchange rate to exchange Dollars.
Any credit or debit card associated with the USA will not work when you travel to Cuba, including cards issued by Santander, American Express, Capital One, and MBNA. MasterCard is not accepted at cash machines, but, as long as the card is not associated with the USA, it can be used to withdraw cash from the counter at a Cadeca or bank. Debit cards with the Visa logo are accepted as long as you can (a) find a cash machine and (b) it is working. The cash machine network in Cuba is difficult to crack. To be on the safe side, take a good bit of cash along with your UK credit card.
Most Cubans earn very low salaries, from 15 to 20 Cuban Convertible Pesos a month, so tipping is extremely important. You should tip porters between 50 cents and one Cuban Convertible Peso per bag, about one Cuban Convertible Peso per day for hotel maids, and one to two Cuban Convertible Pesos for your tour guide. Most restaurants include a service charge of about 10 percent, but you should tip about five to 10 percent extra. Taxi drivers should get 15 percent of the fare unless you have negotiated the fee without the meter, in which case a tip is included, so don't add extra. Taxi drivers rarely give small change on a fare, so round up and leave the rest as the tip.
June, September, and October
Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Rabies, Tetanus and Typhoid immunisation recommended.
Cuba has two seasons: the dry season (November to April) and the hurricane season (June to November). This moderately subtropical weather means it is generally warm with humidity hovering between 75 and 95 percent. Holidays in Cuba tend to be casual and low-key, so you may want to leave your heels at home. Pack for cooler weather between January and March when the temperature can drop down to 10°C. While hurricane season is from June to November, historically most storms have occurred in September and October.
Comprehensive travel insurance. You are expected to present your insurance policy upon arriving on holiday in Cuba.
Adapter (the power supply in Cuba is 110 volts at 60 hertz
although most sockets have dual voltage to 220 volts.);
Jeans or trousers and jumpers between January and March;
Sunglasses and Sunscreen;
Light or heavier jacket
depending on which season you are travelling in;
Umbrella in the rainy season;
Hiking boots or comfortable walking sandals;
Sandals in the summer;
lightweight clothing in cotton and linen to keep you cool in Cuba's summer;
Cuban cuisine fuses the bold styles and spices of Spanish, African, and Caribbean foods, resulting in a unique flavour. Food is simple but very flavourful, often seasoned with garlic, cumin, oregano, and bay laurel leaves. Many Cuban dishes incorporate sofrito, which consists of fried onion, green pepper, garlic, oregano, and ground pepper. This base is added to most black beans, stews, meat dishes, and tomato sauces. The staples of Cuban food include roasted or fried meat and plantains, as well as rice and beans, which is served with nearly every meal besides breakfast.
Arroz con Pollo
Arroz con pollo (chicken with rice) is one of the most beloved chicken dishes in Cuba. The rice is a short-grained Valencia-style rice, picked up from Cuba's Spanish heritage. Some people flavour the rice with saffron, but most Cubans use annatto oil (from the rust-coloured annatto seed) instead. The dish uses chicken pieces simmered with chopped green pepper, onion, garlic, saffron or annatto oil, bay leaf, cayenne pepper, oregano, cumin, salt, pepper, chopped tomatoes, peas, rice, white wine, and water.
Pollo Asado
Pollo asado is a Cuban-style roasted chicken in a mojo sauce bursting with flavour. The chicken is marinated in the sauce infused with cumin, salt, oregano, garlic, lime, and orange juice then baked until tender.
Picadillo is true Cuban comfort food. Traditionally eaten at lunch, this beef hash dish can be served on its own, with rice, or used to fill pastelitos to make little meat pies. It can be served dry (thicker) or wet (soupier) with a little extra tomato sauce and wine.
Cuban Black Beans
This popular dish is possibly the most common in Cuba. It is usually eaten with a side of white rice, soup, or topped with avocado and chopped onions. The black beans are soaked in water with a laurel leaf overnight. The next day chopped green pepper, onion, salt, and garlic cloves are added, as well as ketchup, Tabasco, black pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and sugar.
Ajiaco, a chunky meat and vegetable stew, is the national dish of Cuba. The name literally means 'something with many ingredients', so it is no surprise the dish has come to symbolise the Cuban peoples' diverse ethnic backgrounds. The stew contains sweet potato, yucca root, plantains,
Street food in Cuba is ubiquitous, greasy, fried, yet surprisingly tasty. Sold from stands, baskets, wheelbarrows, and windows, you will find it available everywhere. Be careful to only order street food from vendors whose food is clean, fresh, and cooked right in front of you.
Cuban Pizza
Cuban pizza is similar to typical pizza. It includes a thick slice of dough layered with a thin, seasoned coating of tomato sauce and sprinkled with cheese.
Cubans are fond of fritters, and they are available from just about every street vendor. Try churros, long, stick-like pieces of deep-fried dough, or chicharitas de platano, thinly-cut plantains flash fried in oil.
Papa Rellena
This popular dish is a rounded ball of mashed potatoes. The ball is filled with seasoned, fried meat, then breaded and deep fried.
Cuban Sandwiches
This popular lunch item is made on lightly buttered Cuban bread then pressed in a panini-type grill to heat the contents. Pan con chorizo is a sandwich of pork sausage is seasoned with paprika. Pan con bistec includes pork steak fried with garlic and onions.
Unlike their Mexican counterparts which are made from cooked, dried hominy corn, Cuban tamales are made from fresh corn scraped off the cob. The little corn husks are filled with a paste of ground or grated corn seasoned with tomato, onion, garlic, cumin, green peppers, and fried pork.
As Cuba has two economies and two currencies (Peso Cubano for locals and the Convertible Peso for tourists), average prices vary. Separate currencies are charged, with locals buying items with ration cards in state-run shops. For tourists, the prices tend to be quite a bit higher, but overall prices in Cuba will be less than you are used to in the UK. As prices vary greatly between the Peso Cubano and the Convertible Peso and can be quite confusing, we will give you the average costs in UK Pounds. Dinner at a mid-range restaurant might cost around 15 to 20 UK pounds for two people. At a supermarket you might pay just over one UK pound for a litre of milk, 30 pence for a loaf of bread, and 50 pence for a 1.5 litre bottle of water. You can buy a mid-range bottle of wine for about two UK pounds in a supermarket.
Most Cubans' clothing is influenced by the west, for example jeans and T-shirts. But the guayabera, also called the Havana shirt, is Cuba's national pride and joy. This button-down, pleated shirt is lightweight, made of cotton or linen, and has four large pockets. The casual shirt is worn outside of the trousers (not tucked in), and is enhanced with elaborate embroidery. Cuban women tend to wear brightly coloured, tight-fitting, low-cut tops with short skirts, but visiting women should wear more conservative attire.
Due to its cultural blend of nationalities from around the world, Cuban customs and traditions are a colourful mix of contrasting factors. Cubans are friendly, open, and expressive people. However, be aware that Cubans who start a conversation with you may be hoping to gain something financially. Jineterismo (jockeying) is a way of life in Cuba.
Here are a few things to keep in mind:
• This is a country where tipping is expected. Bring plenty of small coins and spread the love;
• Openly criticising Fidel or Raúl Castro is a major taboo.
• Cubans typically dress in a very laid-back manner, but most resorts and hotels don't allow shorts.
• Birthdays are large celebrations centred around the family and friends of the child, including dancing, singing, and the breaking of piñatas.
• While local women dress in bright, flashy clothes, with low-cut tops and short skirts, visiting women should dress more conservatively in order to avoid unwanted attention.
• Cubans greet each other initially by shaking hands.
• Cubans tend to be very direct and also louder than others in North America. Don't be offended, but do be sure to keep eye contact, as this indicates you are interested in what the speaker is saying.
• Littering is against the law.
• It is considered very rude to spit or blow your nose in public.
• Cubans address each other as compañero, but you should use señor or señora. Many Cubans have two surnames. The first surname is the correct one to use.
• Avoid taking photos of people without their permission.
• Limit your alcohol intake. Cubans consider it extremely rude to be very drunk in public.
• It is illegal for Cubans to eat lobster, although there are many state-owned hotels and restaurants that serve lobster for tourists. Turtle is served on some menus, but they are endangered and eating them is illegal.
The 750-mile-long island of Cuba has the most diverse wildlife in the West Indies. The island is home to the smallest frog and the tiniest bird in the world, a nearly-extinct shrew-like mammal, and a rodent called the Cuban hutía. The lush, tropical terrain hosts animals such as the Cuban crocodile, the tarantula, numerous species of lizards, the small Indian mongoose, the Cuban boa, the Cuban ground iguana, and an assortment of tropical birds. In the waters surrounding Cuba there are numerous tropical fish, including the puffer fish, the pig fish, the bat fish, and the trigger fish. Different species of dolphin can also be seen swimming in groups around the island.
Bird Watching
Cuba's sub-tropical weather makes it an ideal place for bird watching. The world-famous wetlands of Parque Nacional Ciénega de Zapata have mangroves, marshes, and woodlands with some of the best bird watching in the world. You will see the Cuban trogon, Cuba's national bird and a perfect colour match for the Cuban flag, the bee hummingbird, the world's smallest bird only found in Ciénega de Zapata, the Cuban pygmy owl, the palm warbler, and many more.
Crocodile Farms
Located at Boca de Guama, Criadero de Crocodrilos is Cuba's largest crocodile breeding farm. The farm is home to more than 100,000 crocodiles kept in various pools and features 16 species of endangered reptiles. See the breeding and rearing process and even have a chance to eat crocodile steak for lunch.
Bay of Pigs Land Crabs
Most famous as the site of the failed invasion attempt by the USA in 1961, the Bay of Pigs is also the location of a different type of invasion. Every spring approximately 100 million small red land crabs emerge from the damp swamps and forests surrounding the bay to breed and drop their eggs in the sea. The invasion of crabs can last for weeks, wreaking havoc on the roads and shredding car tyres with razor-sharp crushed crab claws, but it is truly a sight to see.
Granja de las Tortugas
Cuba's only turtle farm is located near Cayo Largo's marina. The farm works to conserve and protect the green, hawksbill, and loggerhead turtles of Cayo Largo, collecting hundreds of turtle eggs from the beaches and incubating them in a safe environment. After the eggs have hatched the babies are released back into the sea. The organisation gives free night-time tours to see the females nesting.
Spectacular Scuba Diving
Offering over 1,000 logged dive sites characterised by steep walls cut by tunnels and caverns, shallow reefs with colourful fish, beautiful corals and sponges, and even a few wrecks, Cuba has some amazing scuba diving to experience. The small island of Cayo Largo, Guardalavaca, on Cuba's southeast coast, Jardines de la Reina, the protected archipelago of approximately 250 coral islands and islets, and the Isle of Youth, off the coast from Havana, offer some of Cuba's best diving sites.

You're right, your other stuff is better. The peeps were freaking funny. Nice job!
Thanks so much :) It really means a lot when people check my advice and look at my other work and see the better stuff. This was probably one of my better works. Also, if you intend on checking out the rest of this series, be forewarned that the first 9 episodes we shot at a slow frame rate with a webcam so, you'll have to go on humor alone to enjoy them. Anyways, thanks for the review, glad you liked it!
awsome job Chris! Everything was perfect except for the song was alot loulder than the rest of the sound.
But that doesn't matter much
It just makes the sound go from 10 to a 9! :D
muchos gracias buddy :D
Excellent job :D
I loved it :D hilarious. The Pirate was cool and all the characters had been given great personalities :D
Keep it up :)
I also noticed in some of your other movies that there were blips in the background of the audio. I didn't hear any in this one :)
Thanks man! I'm glad you liked it :)
And yes, that "blip" was my fire alarm which has a dead back up battery, as soon as I can get my hands on a bunch of 9 volts I can replace it. Fortunatley, I don't think it ended up in any of "Don't Be A Pirate" and only a few times in "Marx vs Orwell". However, it isn't on this or The Museum because I got a program which can filter out background noise, so no fuzz, no clicks, no bleeps :D
that was a lot funnier than i expected
Voice acting was pretty good, animation was funny, story absurd and humorous - everything was pretty well done. Nice job.
My only beef with it is the frame around the video. The easter eggs and grass were ok and all, but the black kinda killed it. If you could clean that up, it'd be even better. Otherwise, great work.
I'm still laughing at the Peeps. Heh.
thank you very much!
I'll be taking that into consideration the next time I use a boarder :)
That was really really awesome. I hope you have a sequel to that to show how the battle goes on. But really it was great
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! I didn't really consider a sequel but, perhaps some day =]

Special Olympics North America | Jul 08, 2013 | North America: Arizona Special Olympics Arizona has partnered with Special Olympics Belize - as part of a Special Olympics North America collaboration and mentoring initiative - and their first major project was to host Belize's first-ever Special Olympics Camp Shriver! Arizona staff, volunteers and athletes traveled to Belize to work with local athletes, volunteers and leadership. More than 200 athletes and partners, 32 coaches, and 23 Law Enforcement Torch Run (LETR) officers from Belize participated in the Camp. The Camp kicked off with a 12-mile LETR Torch Run in which both Special Olympics Belize and Special Olympics Arizona athletes and volunteers participated, as part of an effort to build interest for the burgeoning LETR program in Belize. Arizona staff member Krista Sanchez said "What we found were Belizean youth, tremendously motivated to make a difference in their country and promote a philosophy of inclusion. I think Bill Barber (Special Olympics Arizona athlete) said it best when he stated on the ride back to the hotel, 'We made history today.'"

Readers who care about the long term health of our environment need to become aware of HR 1581, the Roadless Area Release Act. This act, if successful in Congress, would strip protections from every acre of roadless areas within the Gifford Pinchot National Forest and another 2 million acres in the state of Washington. Additionally, nearly 60 million acres of wilderness lands would be in jeopardy of logging, road building, mining and other development.
This proposal currently before the U.S. House of Representatives must be stopped. The Republican leadership has gone too far on this one. U.S. Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler, R-Camas, must be proactive and work to ensure this legislation does not come to fruition.
As president and on behalf of the Vancouver Wildlife League, I urge our representative to do the right thing and not support this proposal. We hope other individuals and groups will lobby to keep our wilderness areas indeed wilderness.
