Union Congregational Church to host local Cancer Moonshot Summit - June 29th
Posted by: thepinetree on 06/24/2016 11:12 AM
Angels Camp, CA...The following is comments from Karen Rojas addressing the City Council on the Summit. "Even though it's not on the agenda, thank you for allowing me to have 3 minutes to speak on a grave matter that does affect Angels Camp. I cannot imagine that there is a single person in this room whose life or that of a loved has not been impacted by cancer. President Nixon declared the War on Cancer back in the 70s and although there have been successes, the Standard of Care - surgery, radiation, and chemo - has not "cured" cancer. If it was 1 in a 1,000 40 years ago and will soon be 1 in 5, it'll hit 1 in 2 for our grandchildren. For decades, cancer has baffled scientists and experts around the globe, claiming over 8 million lives worldwide in 2012 alone. Numbers of newly-diagnosed cancer cases are expected to rise by 70% over the next 20 years.

Supreme Court Terminates Texas Abortion Access Law ~ Opinion Of Court By Justice Breyer
Posted by: thepinetree on 06/27/2016 07:49 AM
Washington, DC...In Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pa. v. Casey, 505 U. S. 833, 878 (1992), a plurality of the Court concluded that there "exists" an "undue burden" on a woman's right to decide to have an abortion, and consequently a provision of law is constitutionally invalid, if the "purpose or effect" of the provision "is to place a substantial obstacle in the path of a woman seeking an abortion before the fetus attains viability." (Emphasis added.) The plurality added that "[unnecessary health regulations that have the purpose or effect of presenting a substantial obstacle to a woman seeking an abortion impose an undue burden on the right."

I'd like to hear from finger style players whether or not you use finger picks. If so, what kind and if not, why not? I do use them and prefer ProPik Fingertones. I've tried several kinds of thumb picks and can never decided what I like there. I like the tone I get from Herco thumb picks, but they are not as comfortable as Dunlops and Nationals. I'm always surprised and frustrated how poorly most guitar shops stock finger picks. Most only carry only Dunlop, if at all. I'll stop rambling now and wait to see responses.

going naked as you say is the most efficient way to play. if using picks was more effective, classical players would adapt finger picks as their preferred technique. there are two basic right hand techniques that you should learn, rest strokes and free strokes. rest strokes are used to bring out notes above the other plucked notes and are used for both thumb (p) and fingers index, middle, and ring fingers (i, m, and a). fingers should not touch the top of the guitar they should only touch the strings. the way you learn in a hurry is by playing scales in the beginning and when you are comfortable with that move on to arpeggios. the scales should be rest stroked until you are comfortable. the rest stroke: when you pluck the string you rest your index finger to the next string below the one just played, then you alternate back and forth, i then m, i, m, i, m, then m, a, m, a, and so forth.
it takes a little getting used to but you will see the results in time. you will develop the strength in your right hand not to touch the top of your guitar letting you move your right hand back and forth for different tones.
Of course we could also say," Using picks is the most efficient way to play. if going naked was more effective, bluegrass banjo players would not wear finger picks as their preferred technique." The same goes for touching the top of your guitar. Many Travis (or Cotton or...) guitar pickers brace their pinky on the top or pick-guard. C.Y. Your advice applies to classical guitar technique and if the original questioner is asking about classical playing, it is good advice. If you are playing a folk style in the company of fiddles, mandolins and other instruments, you may need picks to make yourself audible. While I prefer to play with my bare fingers (with reinforced nails) I do find myself in situations where I need the added volume provided by finger-picks.
I also prefer the sound produced by playing into a mic, but there are situations where I'm forced to plug in.
I beg to differ, I play all styles, i used to play with picks but it did not give me the control dynamically or tone variances i needed to play a steel string effectively. putting a pinky or any other finger anywhere on the top is incorrect technique, not only is it a restriction on mobility, but it also suppresses volume and tone.
I played for ten years using picks with my pinky on the top and I was a good player, but when I changed over to fingers and classical technique, my music and musicianship increased dramatically letting me do things on the guitar I just couldn't pull off using traditional methods. And if you play a regiment of scales and arpeggios with classical techniques you will become a stronger and better player no matter what your taste in music might be.
you guys are right about the "true " way to play classical style but as far as pick vs fingernails I think it boils down to preference... .. arpeggios and scales will always make you better no matter what instrument you play .. the better you know it the more accurate and fluent you become... it is learning a language after all .. .. now about the banjo ... I have heard a guy that plays clawhammer style ( thumb comes down and you play with a down stroke on the finger) with a great deal of clarity and does some fine lead work ...) ... it is not always muddy just won't keep up with the loud rowdyness of bluegrass ..
There are a few clawhammer players who use picks, but you are right, most use their nail and bare thumb. I have my nail reinforced with acrylic gel at the local nail salon. I did play with those "rowdy bluegrassers" for a while. I was mainly a mandolin player, but sometimes added some clawhammer banjo for variety. Here's a link to Al Kirby playing 3-finger banjo and me playing clawhammer, with my good friend, the late Zeke Mazurek on fiddle. When You And I Were Young Maggie
great old song ... I love the rowdy bluegrassers as well as old time ... I live about 3 mi from where tn va and nc meet so it is the music of my home.. I came up by way of rock and roll but play bluegrass and old time also .... I even love classical style though I am not proficient there i do fingerpick some.. I find there are times I like both pick /picks and/or fingers ... it depends most on style and company of players as to what you want to use.. ..there are as many ways to play as there are players ..lol
ps .. love the two banjo's but I think banjo can be played to anything .. reminds me of a lead and rythym guitar duo but cooler ...lol
I do not usually use finger or thumbpicks, though I have at times. My girlfriend does use a thumbpick and really like the Blue Chip thumbpick that I got here. Well, she should at that price! ButI do like the Blue Chip and that is what I would likely use if I needed a thumbpick. It has a great tone and feels really good on the strings.
I use a blue chip flatpick in my guitar playing sometimes and love it ... I have heard also that their thumbpicks are great .. they have that metal band on them which definitely holds better than plastic ...... I use a propick with a metal band and love the fit and feel ... been wanting to try the bluechip ..thanks for the review...lol
I use my bare fingers. I'll usually only use a flat pick for strumming if I'm playing out and being heard is a concern. I've sort of developed an alternating picking style that sounds very much like fingerpicking. I've tried many times to use fingerpicks but I just can't seem to get the hang of it. My flat picks, when I use them, are usually Martin or Fender Heavies, tortiseshell. I prefer the tortiseshell ones just because they're old-fashioned-looking.
Years ago I used finger picks. Since my classical studies began, a number of years ago, I've been able to maintain fingernails and get a better tone in finger-style playing. If I blow out a nail (especially in the winter months when they get brittle out doors) I use alaska picks until I can grow them out again (I file them down until they approximate the nail length that I normally keep, just extending beyond the finger tip. I tried the ping-pong ball and super glue route when I was at school doing a lot of classical playing, but the super glue caused such brittle nail trouble as they grew out that I gave it up. Nails can be difficult to maintain, but allow a much surer, cleaner technique because you feel each string. The only time I'm tempted to bring out the old metal picks is for playing dobro. If I'm accompanying louder instruments such as resonator banjo or fiddle, I'm more likely to go to a flat pick style anyway.
James, Thank you for the information. I had never heard of the Alaska Picks before and have already checked with my Music Supplier to get some info. I've gone through the same hassles as you apperar to have. My right hand nails spend most of the time shreaded and while I have used thumb and finger picks for almost 50 years, I have liked them less each year. Now I am not able to regenerate good nails anymore for reasons including age. I will look at both the plastic and metal versions. All of my acoustic guitars have pickups and I also have outboard condenser mics when or if I need them. It will also be interesting to see how they work while I am playing the banjo as I use a ...for want of a proper definition...thumb-over, three finger, frailing, clawhammer, too hard on my nails..type of fingerpicking style. Wondered about the effects of the 'super glue' on my nails and had actually purchased the acrylic type to try next. So thanks for the new suggestion. At least it may give me time to get myself back into the game. Peace, Adriaan in Camilla, GA. USA.

Preaching a gospel of tolerance set against a heady genre-blending groove, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductees Sly and the Family Stone were the integrated multi-gender Pied Pipers of the Woodstock generation. The group's message – and inimitable synthesizing of rock, soul, R&B, funk and psychedelia into a danceable music – helped bring diverse audiences together, with their greatest triumph coming at the Woodstock Festival in 1969. During their unforgettable nighttime set, leader Sly Stone initiated a fevered call-and-response with the audience of 400,000–plus during an electrifying version of "I Want to Take You Higher." Voters around the world ranked that moment as one of the greatest festival moments of all time, and it is included in the Rock Hall's feature exhibit, Common Ground: The Music Festival Experience.
The group connected with the rising counterculture by means of songs that addressed issues of personal pride and liberation in the context of driving, insistent and sunny-tempered music that fused rock and soul, creating a template for 70s funk. As proof that they were reaching a rainbow coalition among the young, Sly and the Family Stone dominated the late 60s charts with such essential singles as "Dance to the Music" (Number Eight pop, Number Nine R&B), "Everyday People" (Number One, pop and R&B), "Hot Fun in the Summertime" (Number Two pop, Number Three R&B) and "Thank You Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin" (Number One, pop and R&B).
With "Dance To The Music," Sly and the Family Stone put a new, highly idiosyncratic twist on funk without losing a shred of R&B danceability. The easiest way to understand how the song differs from conventional soul hits of the period is to listen to the lyric, which describes in both elementary and highly personalized terms what's going on. Sly starts from scratch and adds each instrument singly to build up a powerhouse of psychedelic R&B, replete with call-and-response vocals, brief solos, gleeful cries and a beat that bulldozes everything in its path. It's all so joyous it's easy to miss the message belted out by Cynthia Robinson and Jerry Martini, the horn players: "All the squares go home!" Sly once claimed he wrote the tune after Epic Records rejected other examples of his "Whole New Thing" (as he called his rock-soul-jazz/black-white/male-female fusion) as too complicated for the masses. Contemptuously coming up with a gimmick song to explain his design to the befuddled execs, he crashed his way into the Top 10 in the process.
LIVE STREAM!: Original members of Sly and the Family Stone Cynthia Robinson (trumpet), Greg Errico (drums) and Jerry Martini (sax) will be interviewed live at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum on Friday, June 20, 2014 at 1 pm!
Like many of the best minds of his generation, Sly Stone dreamed of integration. Dreaming bigger than most, he wanted to integrate not only black and white but also male and female, soul and rock, rich and poor, famous and humble. As the 1960s crashed to a close, Sly saw the dream crumble, replaced by a terrible separation. Always introspective, Sly focused so deeply upon himself after the fall that he often failed to notice the outside world at all. But so long as he offered a hip beat, crowds danced to the music. They didn't necessarily listen. Disgusted, Sly wrote off the whole thing as a meaningless ritual and began playing mind games to see how much he could get away with. He missed concerts staged for 20,000 or more. He wrote a song one day in 1969 and poison spilled out. He set it to one of his grungiest riffs, a slinky, sinister beat that picked up the tempo just a hair as the verses progressed. A close listen revealed him drawing blood with the shards of his own hopes and career, mocking his early songs. No one caught on. The record slipped into Number One in Billboard. So Sly went back into the studio and slowed it down, forcing the listener to hear that blood trickle. He called it "Thank You For Talkin' To Me, Africa" and put it out a year later on the album There's A Riot Goin' On. People still didn't get it. You might miss it yourself. If you do, listen closer.

FHP: Motorist dies after hitting Deltona driver in Orange County
Published: Tuesday, January 22, 2013 at 11:27 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, January 22, 2013 at 11:33 p.m.
A 51-year-old Orlando motorist died Tuesday after crashing into the back of a Deltona driver stopped at a red light east of Winter Park, the Florida Highway Patrol said.
The Orlando man was traveling east on Aloma Avenue in a Kia Sport at 5:59 p.m. when he ran into the back of Ronald Gray's Chevrolet HHR, stopped for a light at State Road 436, the FHP said. The Kia Sport then continued into the intersection and ran into another vehicle.
The driver of the Kia, whose identity was not released Tuesday, was taken to Winter Park Hospital where he suffered a heart attack and died, the FHP said.
Gray, 39, was wearing a seat belt and not injured, according to the FHP.

Starting his ninth season in charge of Vandal women's soccer, Peter Showler is the longest-tenured coach in program history.
In 2012 he led one of the nation's most experienced teams into action. The 2012 Vandal senior class became the most successful four-year group in school history, totaling 37 wins from 2009-2012 under his direction.
Showler has resurrected an Idaho program and led the team to 37 victories through the 2009-12 seasons - the highest three-year win total in school history. His 2010 Vandals qualified for the program's first conference tournament after tying for third in the WAC with a 5-3 record, then followed it up in 2011 with a second-consecutive WAC Tournament berth and the program's first postseason victory to advance to the WAC semifinal round.

It's not exactly icing on a cake, but it could be icing on a lake. A new paper by scientists on NASA's Cassini mission finds that blocks of hydrocarbon ice might decorate the surface of existing lakes and seas of liquid hydrocarbon on Saturn's moon Titan. Far from the Sun, Titan's temperatures remain at a chilly –290°F (–179°C). In addition to potentially ice-topped lakes, Titan has a terrain that contains mountainous features composed of ice. The presence of ice floes might explain some of the mixed readings NASA's Cassini spacecraft has seen in the reflectivity of the surfaces of lakes on Titan.
"One of the most intriguing questions about these lakes and seas is whether they might host an exotic form of life," said Jonathan Lunine, a paper co-author and Cassini interdisciplinary Titan scientist at Cornell University, Ithaca, N.Y.
Titan is the only other body besides Earth in our solar system with stable bodies of liquid on its surface. But while our planet's cycle of precipitation and evaporation involves water, Titan's cycle involves hydrocarbons like ethane and methane. Ethane and methane are organic molecules, which scientists think can be building blocks for the more complex chemistry from which life arose.
Children can investigate icy places like Titan through the module Explore: Ice Worlds! (http://www.lpi.usra.edu/education/explo ... ctivities/). They can also uncover their own surprising discoveries through "missions" to explore three "planets" (which are actually made out of clay decorated with fun craft items) in Strange New Planet (http://www.lpi.usra.edu/education/explo ... anet.shtml).
Modified from Cassini Suggests Icing on a Lake.

Ducks Open Spring Season in Vegas
The University of Oregon kicks off its 2013 slate this weekend (Jan. 18-20) in Las Vegas, Nev., at the Freeman Memorial, hosted by UNLV. The individuals participating this weekend will represent seven of the nation's top programs, including No. 1 Florida, No. 2 UCLA, defending Pac-12 champions USC and Stanford, ranked fourth and fifth, respectively, No. 8 North Carolina, No. 50 UNLV and the 66th-ranked Ducks. Action at the Fertitta Tennis Complex will begin at 10 a.m. (PT) on all three days this weekend. Admission to all matches is free; the event features two flights each of both singles and doubles along with consolation rounds.
The impressive field boasts eight of the top 30 individuals and two of the sport's top-eight ranked doubles teams scheduled to compete. The singles draw is set to feature second-ranked Krista Hardebeck of Stanford as well as four other top-20 players: No. 11 Gina Suarez-Malaguti of North Carolina, No. 14 Danielle Lao of USC, No. 17 Sabrina Santamaria of USC and No. 20 Alexandra Josifoska of host UNLV. Doubles will be led by USC's top-ranked tandem of Santamaria and Kaitlyn Christian and No. 8 Ashley Dai and Whitney Kay of North Carolina.
Last Year at the Freeman Memorial
Last year's event saw 19th-ranked freshman Zoe Scandalis of USC rally to upset top-ranked Mallory Burdette of Stanford 6-7 (8), 7-6 (5), 6-3. In doubles, the 23rd-ranked duo of Pamela Montez and Courtney Dolehide UCLA downed third-ranked Christian and Santamaria of USC 8-4.
John & Phil's Championship Cancelled
Oregon was originally schedule to participate in the John & Phil's Championship in Corvallis, Ore., this weekend as well but the event has been cancelled. The Freeman Memorial will be the last invitational of the 2012-13 season before dual matches begin on Jan. 25. The Ducks begin dual play at home against Eastern Washington (Jan. 25) and Idaho (Jan. 26).
Oregon Roster Breakdown
The Ducks return seven players from last year's team that went 12-9. The program's 12 victories a season ago were the most since Oregon went 12-12 and advanced to the NCAA Tournament in 2007. Seniors Julia Metzger and Patricia Skowronski are back for their final season in Eugene. Metzger won 10 singles matches at the No. 1 slot a year ago and finished 18-17 overall. Skowronski won 11 singles matches at the No. 2 position and teamed with Sofia Hager, a sophomore in 2013, to go 19-11 in doubles matches. The 19 doubles wins a season ago rank in a tie for 10th all-time.
Anchoring head coach Paul Reber's junior class are Rabea Stueckemann, Lana Buttner, Pascale Neubert and Lena Macomson. Stueckemann and Neubert combined for 15 singles wins last year, while Buttner won seven times as well. Macomson, a redshirt junior who began her collegiate career at Montana State University-Billings, won two singles matches during the 2012-13 season.
Oregon's two sophomores include Hager, who won 11 singles matches during the 2012 spring dual season, and Nicole Long, who played at the University of Oklahoma in 2011-12. Long went 8-13 in singles and 8-12 in doubles as a member of the Sooners. The Ducks' lone freshman is Brooke Hughes, a native of Austin, Texas, who graduated from ATA College Prep in the spring of 2012.

Coastal Climate Change Solutions – from Principles to Practice
15 Jun 2012 - 15 Jun 2012Ecosystem-based solutions to climate change apply ecosystem services in delivery of adaptation and mitigation outcomes. Coastal ecosystems offer particular opportunities to enhance the resilience of people to the impacts of climate change, while increasing carbon sequestration and avoiding emissions. By securing biodiversity and ecosystem services through management and sustainable use, conservation and development opportunities are also harnessed.

The event will provide a forum for open discussion on how the challenges in scaling up ecosystem-based climate change solutions in the coastal area can be overcome. Through brief presentations followed by panel discussion the event will illustrate key factors in achieving adaptation or mitigation outcomes in the coastal area through ecosystem-based approaches; raise awareness of practical tools and approaches and identifying needs for their further development; and demonstrate and enhance partnerships to broaden the base of collaborators and support capacity transfer for ecosystem-based approaches.
The event is organized through UNEP's global partnership activities involving FMEB and CCAU, and discussion and outcomes will directly support and be integrated into these..
Oceans and coasts are given increasing importance in negotiations. This is reflected in submissions by member states as well as the draft outcome document, which contains numerous references to ocean, coastal and island issues, the vulnerability and value of coastal ecosystems services and the importance of international cooperation, capacity building and financing. The event will support discussions on ecosystem management as a basis for building resilient coastal communities and enabling sustainable development.
Recommendations with respect to key discussion areas (policy needs; development of tools and approaches; financing), of direct relevance to ongoing activities related to EBA tools as well as UNEPs Blue Carbon initiative and the GEF Blue Forest project.
Partnership development: broadening the base of collaborators on ecosystem-based approaches, potential identification of pilot interventions.
Identification of specific project development opportunities. The event may advance tentative discussions regarding development of a GEF project on adaptation in coral reef seascapes.

Clark Aposhian sits in his office, where his gun safe is close by.
Clark Aposhian walks into his office with a bullet-riddled briefcase in one hand and the newest model rifle from Browning in the other. This man is all about guns.
Check out his website, fairwarning.biz—Aposhian's firearms resume is impressive. He's an NRA Certified Training Counselor, a Chief Range Safety Officer, an instructor for NRA seminars, a Utah Certified Concealed Carry Instructor, chairman of the State of Utah's Concealed Weapon Hearing/Licensure Board, chairman of the board of the Utah Shooting Sports Council and a powerful lobbyist with the state of Utah dealing with firearm and self-defense laws. Not to mention host of the talk show Guns I've Loved on KIQN AM radio.
Aposhian's website is incorrect in only one regard: The picture showing him scowling at a gun range might make you think Aposhian is a badass. In his office, despite the multiple gun lockers and the filled cartridge belts draped over the black leather sofa, he comes across as a very nice guy. Who happens to love guns, unabashedly. "My daughter could fieldstrip a Glock when she was 8 years old," he boasts.
Nevertheless, he is slightly perplexed by the question, "Why do Utahns love their guns so much?"
"I've wondered about that," he says. "Why do Utahns love guns so much?" Part of it, he thinks, is the Western mentality, the idea of self-sufficiency. To the Americans who settled the West, a gun was simply a tool. "You needed a gun just to feed your family. Hunting has always been a big sport."
But the number of people taking out hunting licenses has declined overall in recent years. (It rose slightly in 2011.) Aposhian himself doesn't hunt, and he has the same disconnect between meat and violence that most Americans do. "I visited a meat packing plant in Idaho once, and it looked like a horror movie," he recalls.
Gun love runs far deeper than the idea that if all the Smith's stores were to close, you could still feed the family. "Utah was built on a frontier, beyond the borders of law and order," he says. "The absence of reliable law meant you had to bring your own order with you. Self-defense and self-preservation both depended on your self-reliance. That meant a gun."
But there's very little differentiation between the types of guns in our laws. The NRA promotes the idea that the Second Amendment guarantees our right to bear arms. Period. You can go into a gun store in Utah and buy a .50 caliber sniper rifle, deadly at up to a mile. Clearly not for hunting, let alone self-defense. Utah's love of guns stands out even in the gun-loving West, Aposhian says. Some of it may stem from the state's distinct culture.
"Other cultures in the West have been diluted more than Utah," he says. "People move in, and people move on. But many people in Utah can trace their families back for generations. Utahns tend to stay here, and if they move, they come back." According to Aposhian, a Mormon, this is largely because Utah is the center of that religion. "The LDS church preaches preparedness: Be ready for an emergency or an apocalypse. Have two years of food stored. Have working smoke detectors and fire extinguishers. That implies having a gun. Luck favors the prepared." And, he says, "This is a religion that has always had an us vs. them mentality when it comes to government, for pretty good reason. Mormons were chased out of New York, Missouri and Illinois by mobs backed unofficially—or sometimes officially—by the governments of those states. Utah has an in-your-face attitude towards the feds. They resent federal regulations of all kinds."
That's why, he says, four years ago when Barack Obama first ran for president, there was a widespread shortage of ammo in Utah.
"Before the election, there had been a lot of rumors and predictions by the NRA that there was going to be a gun and ammo shortage. Gun owners flooded the stores, buying and hoarding ammunition. So stores did run out of ammo, because they'd sold more than they usually did, leaving shelves bare. Gun lovers immediately blamed the government, claiming it was holding back ammunition."
The thing is, Aposhian points out, around the same time, there was also a shortage of lids for Mason jars. "Was the government controlling that, too?"
Aposhian shares Oda's view that the more people know about guns—the more familiar they are with handling guns—the less they fear them as objects and the more they respect their power. But the whole idea of power is seductive, and guns have life-or-death power. Even in the most controlled environments, accidents happen. In August 2011, a 15-year-old boy shot himself in the head with a .45 caliber handgun after losing his balance on a swivel seat at the Wahsatch Shooters Association Public Shooting Range. A family shooting outing in November ended with a 24-year-old man dead.
Carrying a gun "feels like a force field around you," says Aposhian. "It's not."

Every Wednesday, I'm featuring one of my favorite recipes from How to Cook Everything Fast. If you cook it, too, I want to see it—tag it on social media with #HTCEFast. And enjoy!
Whenever you can use what you've got and can save a trip to the market, I'm all for it. Flexible recipes like this Rice Bowl with Sausage from How to Cook Everything Fast are perfect for improvisation: I had excellent Indian summer peppers from the farmers' market to use instead of the fennel. The recipe includes a couple variations to get you started, but the formula is infinitely variable. Here's how: Start some rice in one pot and get the sausage—any kind—browning in a skillet while you prep the vegetables—broccoli, asparagus, green beans, or even greens would all work. Then add thick slices to the pan so everything cooks together and is perfectly seasoned by the time the rice is ready.
Rice Bowl with Sausage (from How to Cook Everything Fast)
1 1/2 cups short-grain white rice
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 pound hot or sweet Italian sausage links
2 large fennel bulbs
4 ounces Parmesan cheese (1 cup shaved)
Several sprigs fresh basil for garnish
