yet another surprisingly sane post about poker (mostly)
Starting off this post with a non-poker yet somehow serious topic, it seems to me that the under reported story of the week is the publication of the International Committee of the Red Cross' report on torture/abuse during the Bush administration. Apparently, the ICRC wrote a report, meant to be privately sent to the CIA, describing and documenting repeated detainee abuses over the past six years. Unsurprisingly, it strongly recommends major changes/shutdowns. I'm not sure how it was made public, but it is, and it's pretty disgusting. Yes, these detainees are very likely to be terrorists, but it still doesn't excuse torturing them (isn't this obvious?? maybe not). If you haven't read it, I strongly recommend you do so. It's as close to a primary source as most of us are ever going to get on news like this.
Continuing my blue blooded flag burning socialist ways, I watched Milk yesterday. I thought it was pretty damn good and I'm semi-surprised it didn't beat Slumdog for best picture. I mean, if I hadn't heard any of the hype of either movie, I'd think that any superbly made Milk-type of movie would typically crush something more…feel-good/popcorny, as Slumdog sort of is. Both are obviously very good, though. Out of the other nominated films, I still haven't seen Frost/Nixon, The Reader, and Benjamin Button, but I'm not particularly enthused to see any of those. Not sure what I'm going to watch next for movies but I picked a random HBO drama I hadn't seen before to watch. I ended up selecting True Blood. True Blood is a drama that takes place in a current-day alternate-universe with vampires openly co-existing amongst humans in Louisiana. Sounds pretty awful. Initially I was sure that it was pretty terrible, then as I watched it I became more unsure of its terribleness, even leaving the possibility for it to be good, and now… well, I think it's actually fairly good. I keep waiting for it to come off the rails and head to horribleland but it's developed surprisingly nicely into something compelling.
I've felt pretty terrible myself the past week, and not just because I watched Heroes on Monday (harharhar). I felt fairly badly physically sick – some sort of stomach pain/fever – as well as just mentally feeling…not myself, and wanting to be alone. I haven't played much poker – pretty much just SCOOP events – and don't really plan on putting in a big session until Sunday. I was pretty unmotivated to really do much of anything the past week and I'm not sure that'll change for awhile. I've thankfully finally started to feel better the past 24 hours, so who knows.
I've sort of been writing a decent amount lately. For the first time in awhile, I really don't feel like I have anyone that I can say I am closely connected with – there are few people, if anyone at all, that I feel able to communicate with on a meaningful level. In (healthy, but hopefully temporary) replacement of this, I've sort of found myself turning inward. This has resulted in a committing a bunch of time to writing, more so than I have in a long time. I'm spending a bunch of my writing time working on a theory post that I am further and further convinced that I'll never post. I'm not really sure what I'm going to do with it if I don't end up posting it, but regardless I keep finding myself drawn back to it. I guess we'll see how that develops before worrying about its destination, if any. Bluff also put up my debut article this week which I'm sort of proud of. I don't know if I'll ever do that again (especially when I heard what I got paid to do it), but it made my parents happy and the article is pretty solid, so there's that at least.
WPT Foxwoods went stupidly as usual. I feel like Santa Claus, just an increasingly unhealthy jolly white boy traveling all over the world sprinkling money to all the wonderful idiots from town to town, bless their hearts. I feel like I'm playing well blah blah blah but it's still very frustrating. I've never – ever! – cashed a live 5k+ buyin, and I've played at least 20-25 lifetime. It's not outside of reality to just run bad for 20 tournaments obviously, but it's annoying (and costly). I did experiment with some new stuff at FW that I really liked and worked well and I'll have to try it again in whatever dumb live tournament I end up playing next.
I did, however, get something marginally cool out of my Foxwoods experience. During a few of the breaks I got to spend some time with Mike Matusow (!!) for the first time which was pretty interesting. He doesn't remember, but the first time I ever played HSNL was HU vs him at $50-$100, haha. I was probably 18-19, hanging out by myself in a shitty Turning Stone room when I saw him sitting by himself at table Bluff (yes, I'm 99% sure of the name of the table, haha). This was back when $200-$400 was the biggest they had and I was mostly a $5-$10 grinder at highest. I had a fun time playing him and definitely felt post-match that I had an edge – a big boost to my confidence at the time. I ended up a winner that night and didn't really think much of his game at the time, but over the next year we played together a bunch in 6m games and I quickly grew to respect his game. He's a totally different player (and person) now and seems like a quality guy in real life and a good potential friend to have.
SCOOP has been one big WHIFF thus far for me. The HU, $2k 1r1a, and $10K main are all this weekend, making a potentially $50K swing if I play the $25K HU. I wasn't going to do it, initially, because I didn't really want to play a super-deep HUament vs the best HU players in the world and have my entire hopes for glory pinned on playing the weaker sponsored players, but now having seen the structure, I might do it. I mean, it's a TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLAR tournament and you start with 100bb. What??? I'm all for focusing on superior structures over starting stacks but I think starting with 100bb for this buyin is a joke. The structure gives you 5,000 starting chips with 15 levels of 25-50, 30-60, 40-80/a, 50-100/a, etc. Every good player's skill edge is clearly minimized with stacks being so shallow so I just might give it a shot if I feel like it since I'll never be THAT crushed skillwise or have too many tough decisions. Pretty sure if you can seriously say that about a $25K HU tournament something isn't right.
I thought Nachos' last post was pretty interesting. I don't agree that tournament players have greater mental focus than cash game players – certainly the level of focus that it takes to mutltable for 12 hours on sundays, making mostly shallow-stack decisions versus mostly idiots, is definitely less than what it takes to play 8 tables of HSNL for the same amount of time. I think the MTTers might be more able to put a LONG session in and maaaaybe suck up the variance more (because hey, another 6 MTTs start on the hour!) but I wouldn't give them any sort of general mental/focus edge over cash game players. I think Nachos overrates what the average MTTer considers "focus" to be. Robotically clicking and not thinking doesn't count as focus to me but that's what most MTT regs do during their session. I would, however, agree that the BEST mtt regs are typically highly focused throughout the session duration and evaluate every decision efficiently and thoroughly, perhaps more so than the average mid/high stakes player could be over the same time.
Tomorrow I'm going to be doing the $200 1r1a and $2k 1r1a and maaaaybe the $500 O8 scoop. If it has overlay, I'll certainly do it, and if not – we'll see. I'm almost certainly not going to do the $5K o8 either way, and don't plan on doing the $5k plo or $5k LHE. I really want to win the $10K on sunday – probably near $1M for first, and my birthday is like two days later… give me a birthday present please lee jones??

Andy Hallstaff biosend email
So which player replaces Rutgers freshman Marcus Jones, top-flight running back and the 2000 St. Johns County Player of the Year?
''You don't replace Marcus,'' replies coach Joey Wiles. Not with a single player, anyway.
Ah, but there's a but.
click photo to enlarge
DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR Mike Milillo has instructions for St. Augustine defensive linemen.
By ANDY HALL, Staff
''If the fullback comes around and we get rushing yards or passing yards out of the quarterback, that's how we'll replace the yards we lose with Marcus,'' Wiles said.
It's not necessarily a bad sign that the offense has struggled in early practices. After all, it's going against an experienced defense that recognizes the plays and certainly knows the personnel.
Quarterback. Starters: Willie Cooper and Kyle Daniel. Outlook: Cooper is at his best running the option. Daniel is the stronger passer. Each led the offense to touchdowns in a 20-6 spring jamboree defeat of Crescent City.
''We're looking at running the option and we are going to be in the gun a little bit,'' Wiles said. ''We haven't made a decision on how we're going to play them yet. Willie's going to start on defense and is going to need some rest. Kyle's thrown the ball real well.''
Running backs. Wingbacks: Taurean Johnson and Cedric McBurrows. Fullback: Nate Green. Key reserves: WB Jeff Borino, FB Bubba Gardner, FB, Frank Howell, FB Ronnie McKnight. Outlook: Maybe there's no replacing Jones, but the small and shifty Johnson (101 carries, 521 yards as a sophomore in 2000) is a good start. Green was nursing a shoulder injury at press time in mid-August. The sooner he comes around, the better as Gardner is the starting middle linebacker.
''I'm really happy with our wingbacks. We've got kids who can really run there,'' Wiles said.
Receivers. Wideouts: Steve Shelley, Kyle Forson, Jeff Starratt, Scott Painter. Outlook: The Jackets are looking to run three- and four-wide receiver sets to take advantage of their depth at that position and the lack of same at tight end. Only on rare occasions will they line up with a tight end.
''They've all been pretty consistent,'' said Wiles of the wideouts. ''No burners, but good posession guys.''
Offensive line. Guards: Zach Bass, Luke Paulsen. Tackles: Marvin McCall, Layton Baker. Centers: Jake Stewart and Joe Sippio will alternate. Key reserve: G Chris Zampese. Outlook: The guards are returning starters, as is McCall, but as a unit the o-line was St. Augustine's biggest concern in spring practice. It has improved, but could be better still.
''We're not where we need to be right now, but the kids are working hard,'' Wiles said.
Line. Tackle: Justin Drake. Nose: Jimbo Ryan or Dennis Fortner. Ends: Jamond Davis, Alec Rizzi. Outlook: The coach's good feeling about the defense starts up front, where Drake and Davis are returning starters. ''They can be outstanding,'' Wiles said. ''They are quick and they're strong. I can say this about the whole defnese.''
Linebackers. Weak side: Chris Hayward. Middle: Bubba Gardner. Strong side: Colby Wright. Key reserves: Ray Lewis, Race Rearick, Andy White. Outlook: Wiles' comments on the defensive line apply here as well. Hayward led the district championship team in tackles as a sophomore last season. Lewis is working at all three positions and may see most of his time in the middle, spelling Gardner when he plays fullback.
Secondary. Corners: Joe Shugart, Durell Preston. Safeties: Willie Cooper, Quinton Sparrow. Key reserves: Brian Hudgins, Alex Pollard. Outlook: Three of the four starters -- all but Sparrow -- started last season.
Kickers: Steve Shelley and Micah Clukey. Punter/holder: Kyle Forson. Deep snappers: Alex Pollard, Dan Outley. Returns: Durrell Preston, Taurean Johnson. Outlook: Shelley and Clukey both can put kickoffs in the end zone. Why, the Jackets' embarrassment of riches on special teams is such that Wiles is given to carrying on about his depth at deep snapper. ''The ball has to be snapped and kicked in 1.4 seconds and we've been under that throughout practice,'' he noted.
Like it or not, back-to-back playoff appearances and the school's first district championship since 1979 have stamped the Yellow Jackets as targets in a six-team district.
''Probably our biggest concern right now is consistency on offense. We'll go out and put the ball on the ground five times in one day,'' said Wiles, whose team survived fumble trouble to beat Crescent City in the spring.
''If we have any injuries on the offensive line, we'll have serious problems.''
Fortunately for the Jackets, they get Palatka at home in the traditional regular season finale Oct. 26. Unfortunately, they must travel to Bradord at midseason.

As Senior Director for International Wildlife Conservation, at the National Wildlife Federation, Barbara J. Bramble works with the private sector to sever the connection between deforestation and agricultural production. She brings NWF's massive membership to bear in convincing manufacturers and major retail brands to avoid purchasing agricultural and forest commodities that originate from recently cleared tropical rain forests and other carbon rich lands.
She also wears other hats – as the chair of the Board of Directors of the Roundtable on Sustainable Biomaterials, the global initiative to certify biofuels and bioplastics that meet voluntary standards for social and environmental safeguards – and as a member of the Board of the Forest Stewardship Council, the prominent eco-label for wood and paper products from sustainably managed forests.
Over two decades at National Wildlife Federation, as the original founder and director of NWF's International department, she helped to place "sustainable development" and environmental protection at the center of economic decision-making. She developed innovative programs to: a) reform the environmental and social policies of international financial institutions such as the World Bank; b) reduce the negative environmental and social impacts of international trade agreements; c) establish voluntary certification systems to promote sustainable forest and agriculture products; and d) increase U.S. contributions to international voluntary family planning, reproductive health, and education for girls and women.
Ms. Bramble was a key organizer of the International NGO Forum at the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro and the Rio + 5 Conference in 1997. She worked closely with Mexican NGOs for several years, to enhance their advocacy and environmental education skills.
Before joining NWF, she served as legal advisor to the Council on Environmental Quality in the Executive Office of the President. In her early years, as an environmental lawyer in private practice, she won several big fights to keep industrial scale energy projects out of protected areas; for example she helped stop a massive gas pipeline from crossing the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, saving it for the later battle with the Bush Administration in the early years of the new century.
Her J.D. is from George Washington University, and B.A. is from George Mason University. Ms. Bramble has lived in Latin America for almost 5 years and speaks both Spanish and Portuguese.

China's Nokia Asha 205 won't have a Facebook button
Expected to be launched starting the weeks to come, the new Asha 205 is Nokia's first handset to have a dedicated Facebook button.
The phone will be available in lots of countries around the world, including China. However, since China and Facebook aren't friends, the dedicated Facebook key will be replaced by a QQ button – as the Bluetooth SIG confirms. That aside, the Chinese Asha 205 should be perfectly similar to its international version.
A similar thing happened last year, when HTC released its ChaCha Android smartphone in China. Everywhere else, the handset had (and still has) a dedicated Facebook key. But in China it has a QQ button instead.
In case you don't know yet, QQ is the most popular instant messaging service in China.
The Asha 205 is an entry-level phone. It comes with Nokia's Series 40 UI, a 2.4 inch QVGA display, Nokia's new (Bluetooth-based) Slam sharing feature, GSM / EDGE connectivity, Xpress Browser, 3.5mm audio jack, VGA photo camera, and MicroSD card support (up to 32GB). It weighs 94 grams, measures 113 x 61 x 13 mm, and includes a 1,020 mAh battery that should last up to 37 days in stand-by mode, or up to 11 hours in talk-time mode. Unlocked, the Asha 205 it will cost around $62.

Is there a finite group $G$, an element $c$ of order 2 in $G$, and an irreducible 2-dimensional complex representation $\rho$ of $G$ such that all the following are true:
1) $\rho(c)$ has trace zero
2) There is an index 2 subgroup $H$ of $G$ containing $c$, and a 1-dimensional representation $\psi$ of $H$, such that $\rho\cong Ind(\psi)$, the representation of $G$ induced by $\psi$.
3) If $K$ is any index 2 subgroup of $G$ and $\chi$ any 1-dimensional representation of $K$ such that $\rho\cong Ind(\chi)$, then $c\in K$.
Here are some thoughts, but nothing really concrete.
If a 2-dimensional representation is induced from a 1-dimensional representation of an index 2 subgroup, then one checks easily that the trace of the 2-d representation vanishes off the index 2 subgroup. So assumption (2) above implies that the trace of $\rho$ will vanish off $H$, and (1) says "the trace of $\rho$ vanishes on $c$ too", but then (3) says "...but that is not because $\rho$ is induced from an index 2 subgroup not containing $c$".
Note for people wondering about the difference between (2) and (3): it is possible that a 2-dimensional representation of a finite group can be induced from 1-dimensional representations of several distinct subgroups (consider for example the faithful 2-dimensional representation of the quaternion group of size 8).
[ Background: this question came up because the question arose about whether a certain kind of theta series could exist; the theta series, if it existed, would give rise to a certain kind of modular form; if the theta series existed, and my understanding is correct, then $G$ would be the Galois group of a certain extension of number fields, $\rho$ would be the representation attached to the form and $c$ would be some complex conjugation. The details are a bit technical, but basically if one could rule out $\rho$ above using purely representation-theoretic methods then one could rule out the existence of the theta series, and the question above seems to me to be more tractible. If however $\rho$ does exist then the question I'm actually interested in would still be open because the implication only goes one way.]

Panthers 26 Raiders 20
Angry: Raiders coach Ricky Stuart.
- What we learned: Raiders v Panthers
- Recap the match with our live blog
- Soward rapt to break Canberra hoodoo
Canberra Raiders coach Ricky Stuart launched a scathing spray at the referees after Sunday's 26-20 loss to Penrith, branding their display ''not up to first grade standard'' and ''laughable''.
Trailing 26-16 midway through the second half, the Raiders were fuming when a try to Shaun Fensom was disallowed, despite Penrith's James Segeyaro later being placed on report for an alleged forearm to David Shillington's head.

How to Convert a Gas Barbecue to Burn Charcoal
Converting a gas barbecue to burn charcoal is a relatively easy process and is a very good option if your current gas-burning grill is no longer working. Before converting your old gas barbecue be sure to check the grill for rust. If the rack on top of the grill is in poor repair consider purchasing a new rack. The mechanical components of the gas grill will no longer be in use, but the ability of the grill's interior to maintain a constant heat remains important. If the exterior of the grill has rusted and contains holes the gas grill cannot be converted to a charcoal burning grill. If your grill is in good enough shape, the following instructions will allow you to convert a gas barbecue into a charcoal or wood chip burning grill.
Step 1 - Remove Gas Components
Remove the gas tank (natural gas or propane) from the grill. Disconnect the hose leading to the venture tubes, located underneath the grill. Also remove the venturi and lead pipes. You can find these by removing the rack from the grill, looking at the burner you'll see screws holding it in position at the base of the grill. Unscrew the screws and remove the burner and venturi assembly from the grill.
Step 2 - Add the Sheet Steel
Begin by cutting the sheet steel large enough to cover the bottom of the grill base, where the burner once resided. Attach the sheet metal to the bottom of the grill using the sheet metal screws. A few screws on each side should allow you to securely cover the burner hole. By doing this you will have a base to put charcoal or wood chips inside the grill without having them fall through.
Step 3 - Light the Grill
Fill the grill with charcoal briquettes or wood chips, light the flammable material, and replace the rack on top. Once it has reached a sufficient temperature the grill will be ready for cooking.
Gas vs Charcoal Grills
This may not be a problem, if your gas grill is too far gone to use as anything but a charcoal grill, but you might consider the pros and cons of the two grill types. Gas grills are much faster to heat and generally more convenient to use, as it only take the press of a button to get one going. Charcoal grills, however, are generally less expensive to purchase and fuel. If you are converting an old gas grill, it is practically free to obtain a working charcoal grill. Some serious barbecuers swear they can tell the difference between a gas and charcoal grill, and are generally in favor of the charcoal grill's taste. However, newer and more expensive models of gas grills add a ceramic bar that mimics the charcoal grill's ability to catch grease and releases them back onto the food as smoke. This allows the food to gain the smokey taste most would relate to the best type of barbecue meal.

Tax on Inherited Saving Bond Interest
Original post by Emily Weller of Demand Media
If you inherit cash from a relative or friend, you do not need to pay tax on it as you would other types of income. The same mostly holds true for saving bonds you inherit. You won't owe tax on the original amount of the bond, but may have to pay income tax on any interest that it has earned.
Tax Now
Some people choose to pay interest on savings bonds as it accrues, adding the amount of interest yearly to their federal tax return. If the person you inherit a bond from decided to pay tax on the interest yearly, you can also pay tax on the interest as it accrues, instead of in a single lump sum at the end. Even if the person who had the bond before you didn't pay tax using accrual basis reporting, you can decide to and pay taxes on the interest the year you inherit the bond, as well as in the years following, until you redeem the bond.
Tax Later
Most people prefer not to pay tax on the interest using the accrual basis reporting, and instead opt to put off the tax until the bond matures or is cashed in. If you decide to have the savings bond reissued in your name, and no taxes have yet been paid on the interest, you will owe tax at the time of the reissue. Depending on the value of the bond and the amount of interest, putting off paying taxes can increase your tax bill substantially.
Estate Pays the Tax
The estate of the person who passed away may decide to report any interest that has accrued on the bond at the time of death on the person's final tax return. Any tax on the bond's interest is then paid by the estate. If that is the case, the person who inherits the bond will only need to pay tax on the interest that accrues after the original holder's death.
Tax Already Paid
When you inherit a bond, it is your responsibility to find out if tax has been paid on accrued interest. For example, if you inherit a savings bond from your aunt, she may have paid yearly taxes on the interest. In this case, you would not be responsible for reporting the interest that has already been taxed when you redeem the bond, or when it reaches maturity. If you are unsure about the tax status of the bond, ask a tax professional for assistance.

Student Profile
MU Juniors Terri and Terry Perry agree with the old adage "two heads are better than one."
"How else could we even think of it?" asks Terry, "I mean, we literally have two heads. There's got to be some benefit right?" That's when Terry's more optimistic half, Terri, chimed in, "We only have to buy one movie ticket! So that's pretty great."
It seems they're on to something. The two-headed monsters are both honors students, which is impressive considering they have different class schedules. "We'd both agreed we belonged in the scaring program, but when the program didn't agree, things got complicated," explains Terry. "But we put our HEADS together and now we're HEADING down a new path!" laughs Terri, causing his brother to spill coffee on himself.
Terry and Terri clearly have two decades of love, respect, and -- on some level -- dependence on each other, but it comes at the price of privacy. "We're never alone. Don't even know what that would be like but I think about it, a lot," admits Terry. Terri follows, "Really? I get lots of nice alone time at night. It's relaxing just laying back and watching you sleep."
"You do what? I'm never sleeping again," replies Terry.
With so much sibling competition -- both in academics and personal space -- it's amazing what Terri and Terry have achieved. Not only do they attend one of most prestigious universities in the monster world, but they're thriving and enjoying the life as an Oozma Kappa member. Terri says, "Like I said, two heads are better than one!" Terry includes, "Yes, if only those heads were separated, preferably by several states."

"Eliminating fasting as a general requirement for cholesterol testing could greatly increase convenience for patients without significantly altering test results," he said.
In an accompanying editorial published in the same journal, Dr. J. Michael Gaziano, a chronic disease epidemiologist at Harvard Medical School in Boston, said the "exceedingly small" gain of information from a fasting blood test likely does not offset the logistical constraints put on patients, laboratories and doctors for the procedure.
Study Limitations
Because the study is just a snapshot in time, it has important limitations. It doesn't prove that cholesterol levels don't change significantly before and after a meal for individual patients.
Researchers say the small differences noted in the study may matter for some, including those who are taking specific medications to lower their cholesterol or triglycerides. Those patients may still need fasting tests.
But for many others, eating may not make a difference.

TC TO JOHN A. CARLYLE; 7 April 1822; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18220407-TC-JAC-01; CL 2:79-82.
3. Moray-street, 7th April 1822—
My dear Jack,
I this day fell in with your provost—R. Dickson;1 and having learned that he designs returning to Annan on Tuesday morning, I gladly profit by the opportunity of scribbling a line or two for you, without causing any cost to either of us. I have the worst pen in Nature, as you see; but never mind. I am very stupid too—but also, never mind.
Your letter2 with the inclosed five pounds came to me in due time: I was much pleased with your punctuality—tho' just what I expected. When you want the money again, let me know. I calculate that I have now as much as will serve me till the Bullers come, when I shall get more; and I beg you will not be in any strait without applying to me—not only for your own (if I should be so negligent as to need being applied to)—but for any sum within the extent of my resources.— Waugh the bookseller I caused pay me; and he has done it like a scurvy person—with fifteen pounds, where there should have been fiveand twenty. "The Review has so limited a sale; the" &c &c— I design writing no more for him, unless driven to it by a necessity harder than I like to anticipate. Yet I give him no rude words—both because rude words generally degrade the person who employs them as much as the person who endures them, and because not knowing what may turn out in the future, I consider that "better a wee bush than nae bield"3 and even Waugh's Review may be of use to me. At any rate I doubt not the "limited sale" is a very sufficient excuse for his parsimony. My own wonder is that there exists any "sale" at all. If it were not that Providence is a rich provider—furnishing nourishment for all the animated tribes of the universe, one could not a priori expect a single purchaser far less a reader for this literary mooncalf. Peace be with it! and with all the hashes [blockheads] that contribute to create it! They have each a right to a certain portion of the beef slaughtered within this city, and to a certain portion of the oxygen gas that floats around it: far be it from me to wish their privileges curtailed.
The translation of Legendre puzzles me a little. I had finished about four or five sheets of it long ago; but the people are getting clamorous for it now, and I not only find no kind of pleasure in the task, but cannot even perform it at all without sacrificing considerable prospects of a far more alluring kind. I have thoughts of giving it up in favour of John Waugh. Could you do it, Jack? Have you time & spirit for it, I mean? If you think so—I wish you would try a portion and let me see; the beginning of the fifth book, for example: write it out in a legible hand (no matter how ugly) and send it up by the first opportunity. This idea struck me about a minute ago: consider of it seriousl[.] If the work did not too much destroy your time, it would pay very well, and such things do not always occur when one wants them. I am confident, I could make you do it well if I had you here. Say what you think of it—if you think any thing.
I am anxious to get all these mechanical things off my hand; so that I may be able to embark fairly in some more honourable enterprise. I have had a faint purpose for some weeks of writing some "Essay on the genius & character of Milton"—if I could. It is not quite the subject I should like, but better than none; so I am still thinking of it, and determined at least to read the works that relate to it. I am already through "Clarendon's history of the Rebellion";4 tomorrow I shall try to get hold of "Ludlow's Memoirs"5 or some other of them. My condition is rather strange at present: I feel as if I were impelled to write—as if I had also a very little power to do it; but at the same time as if I had altogether lost the faculty of exerting that power! It is "thaas coorsed nervous disaarders."—thrice and four times coorsed. If [underscored twice] I had strong health—!!— But what is the use of talking? If [underscored twice] I had a supereminent genius, the end would be still better attained; and the wish is perhaps just about as reasonable. Should I never be healthy again—which seems possible enough—it will not aid me to complain, to sit and long vehemently—and "whine, put finger i' the eye and sob,"6 because my longings are not gratified. Better to do what I can while it is called to-day—and if the edifice I erect be but a dog-hutch, it is more honourable to have built a dog-hutch than to have dreamed of building a palace. Therefore, Jack, I mean to try if I can bestir myself. Art is long and life is short;7 and of the three score and ten years allotted to the longest liver how small a portion is spent in any thing but vanity and vice if not in wretchedness and worse than unprofitable struggling with the adamantine laws of Fate! Alas! My poor Jack, I am wae when I think of all this. But it cannot be helped.
It is time for me however to quit those airy speculations. I want a long letter from you, as soon as possible—including all your experiences, [all] your hopes. Send me large batches of news; let every thing be fish that [comes] within your net. How do you go on with Ben? I meant to write him very long ago: my purpose is still in being, but that is all. Present to him my best respects any way. Also to the Hitchill people,8 whom I hope you see often. What is Johnstone doing? and what heart is he in? There is a project of a School for him but I fear it will hardly succeed.9 Edwd Irving has been trying to provide for him, and the letter which I suppose decides it is lying here unopened. Tell Johnston that I desire greatly to hear from him. Can you tell me any tidings of Geo: Johnston the Doctor? Get me his address at all events: I would send him a letter if I knew where he kept.— Irving is here just now—or rather in Fife at this hour, and to be here tomorrow morning. He has yet got nothing decided about his going to London. There are few better fellows living. What a contrast between him and Geordie! Yet Geordie means to be honest, therefore let him pass.10 I have said nothing about your old crony Waugh, because I had nothing definite to say. He is still here, clinging as it were to the last plank of his shipwrecked fortunes, pennyless or more, without comfort in the present or the past, but still drawing largely as ever on the rich and royal future. He means to graduate, if he can find funds. There is no man in the world so unfortunate & fatuous as Waugh, with so little criminality. He seems as if he were becoming crazed at times, he speculates so absurdly on the ways of this Earth. Tell no one of him: it only sets silly tongues o'wagging; and Waugh is too worthy for such.
I am going to inclose the critique on Faust. You may shew it to Ben, if he cares for it; and then let them have it at home. I hope you go often up to Mainhill—and take little nic-nacs with you sometimes to our invaluable mother. Carry my love to her and our worthy father, and all the rest of them. Remind Polwarth, and my other correspondents of their epistolary duties. Farewell my good Jack; it is bed-time, and I am tired enough, and feeble tho' still, Your affectionate brother,
Thomas Carlyle—
They need not send me any more butter from home, for a long while. I am pretty well "i' the health part o't"—beginning to feel the effects [ef underscored twice] of spring—without any violent pain or disorder anywhere; the bowel[s] themselves being rather very weak than greatly disordered. Th[ey? words missing] live in quiet some hours every day.

Brandi Glanville and Joyce Giraud have been butting heads all season on "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills." The two attempted to patch things up a bit in Monday night's episode, but fans know there will only be so much peace between these two. Glanville shared some tidbits about all the drama in her Bravo blog on Jan. 13. Just what is the deal between these two?
Glanville explains that the tension with Joyce began a while back as a misunderstanding. Brandi had upset Lisa Vanderpump over a comment regarding her "Dancing With the Stars" stint. Lisa later snapped at Joyce during Carlton's luncheon. Glanville says that she knew Lisa's snipe was really due to her frustration with Brandi, and she tried to explain that later to Joyce.
Brandi then shares that rather than take the insight and move on, Joyce later exaggerated the incident and made it into a big deal with Lisa. Brandi says that Joyce tried to throw her under the bus with Vanderpump while the women were on the Thompson rooftop. This all left a bad taste in Glanville's mouth and it's been trouble ever since for these "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" ladies.
Since the "RHOBH" incident Brandi admits she has not necessarily been nice toward Joyce, but she says she's not a bully. Glanville writes that Giraud's labels are "really exaggerated and extreme" and Brandi even says that Joyce is the one playing the victim, not her. While the two women did hug at the end of their conversation in Monday's episode, it clearly wasn't heartfelt on Glanville's part. She says that she didn't like Joyce's hug "because you can't label me those horrible things and then expect me to hug you."
Where do things stand now? Glanville writes, "It's over and at this point I am happy to be cordial." Brandi adds that though the women supposedly put the drama behind them that day, Joyce has been talking about it all ever since and that obviously rubs her the wrong way.
Of course Joyce Giraud's take on all of the tension takes a different spin, and it's clear these two women will never be the best of friends. Is there more drama yet to come this season on "RHOBH"? That seems likely, given the parties involved. What do you think of the issues between Brandi Glanville and Joyce Giraud? New episodes of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" air Monday nights on Bravo.

|Botany for the Real World
|Weedfeed Classes
|When | What Time | Where | Field Trips | Who | Banquet | How Much | Speedy Weedfeed | Questions
| When
Call for information about upcoming classes. Contact numbers are listed below.
Weedfeed runs each season for 6 weeks, plus the banquet. Scooter Cheatham, lead author of The Useful Wild Plants of Texas, the Southeastern and Southwestern United States, the Southern Plains and Northern Mexico, teaches this class (and has since 1974).
What Time
Friday evenings at 7:00 and Saturday mornings (8:00 to noonish to early afternoon, depending on where we go) for weeks 1, 2, 4, and 5. Weeks 3 and 6 are campouts.
Friday evenings at the UWP office at 4700 Loyola, Suite 104 (the corner of Manor and Loyola, not far from Hwy. 183). The Friday meeting topics cover the plants for the week in detail, with slides, identification, and uses. Bring a notebook and pencil to take notes. No computers or tape recorders please.
Field Trips
Saturday field trips to various locations around Austin (vacant lots, yards, gardens, alleys - you'd be surprised at what gets mowed down and weeded out); to parks (such as Bastrop, Palmetto, McKinney Springs, Pedernales Springs, Krause Springs, Bull Creek Park); along country roads, or wherever looks interesting. We carpool on the field trips. Some people stay after the plants have been seen, if we're near a swimming hole or a good place to eat. Each week's field trip location is determined by what looks most promising when we scout around the week before. There are a couple of overnight field trips, one a weekend trip to Big Bend and other parts of West Texas, and the other a Saturday night campout to a place where we can build a campfire and cook out. (No video cameras please).
Weedfeed is made up of an eclectic assortment of people with a wide variety of interests and a common desire to learn about what is around them (no, you don't need to know anything about botany to take this class). Because of the nature of the class we cannot accommodate guests or children at the lectures or on the field trips.
The Banquet
Each person brings a dish (plus one for each person you invite) made from wild plants (tame ingredients allowed too). We have plenty of suggestions and recipes to use: teas, wines, soda pops, appetizers, soups, breads, crackers, jams and jellies, vegetable dishes, main dishes, pies, cakes, ice cream.
How Much?
Call Lynn Marshall for current cost of the seven weeks of slide lectures, field trips, campouts, and banquet. Space is limited. You can reserve a spot with a deposit (the balance is due at or before the first Friday night meeting), or by sending in the entire amount ahead of time. Checks are payable to Lynn Marshall and mailed to 2612 Sweeney Lane, Austin, Texas 78723.
Speedy Weedfeed
This is a one-day Weedfeed, offered occasionally throughout the year. Enrollment is limited. Call for details.
For information about registration and details about upcoming outings and Weedfeeds call Lynn Marshall at 512-928-4441. We travel a lot doing photography for the encyclopedia, but you can leave a message on the answering machine or by e-mail at email@example.com.

"Watch the Skies"
Writer: JT Krul
Penciller: Howard Porter
Inker: Livesay
Reviewed by: Shawn Morrissey
Within the building, firefighter Bennet is a shade more careless. With a civilian hoisted in the namesake carry, Bennet leaps from a seven story window, ignoring that there's no catcher in place, and assuming his grappling line would do the trick. Kent slips into his other hero's uniform and speeds to the plummeting Bennet before the line can be tested. The Man of Tomorrow then puts the entire blaze to bed. In the distance, viewing the whole super-heroic spectacle is a suspicious looking alien.
Back at 23, Bennet argues that the team sometimes needs to take risks in order to save lives, that they can't rely on Superman. Kal agrees and praises the idea of team work and backup, but puts in a good word for asking for and accepting outside help, too.
Elsewhere, the creepy alien, named Tyro, returns to his ship. He informs his comrades that he has located the one who the humans call "Superman". The crew is pleased because after all these years, Superman will pay for what he did to their home world!
Story - 4: Ding-ding-ding! Round two, ladies n' gentlemen, and Superman Beyond comes out with a crushing right cross. The first blow lands square on the jaw as we see Kal Kent performing some human-style heroics. It may be tough to fully appreciate the good deeds of Superman's secret identity when we consider that glasses and street clothes only mask his appearance, not his powers. Either as Supes or Kal Kent, he can get the job done better than anyone. That's not the point, however. Our character needs to be in touch with his semblance of humanity, and the way he does that best is by connecting directly with people around him, and helping them. As we've seen in many stories, he does the things he does because he genuinely cares, not simply because he's powerful. Krul gets that, and he brings it to the forefront right from the beginning.
I had a little bit of a problem with Kal stating right out that, "It was a good thing Superman was around." It isn't entirely troublesome, but it just feels less-than-humble, like something Superman wouldn't say. Just the same, I love the back-and-forth between Bennet and Kal. They both make excellent points. Superman isn't entirely right here, and that's refreshing.
The aliens - Trillians, to be exact - are intriguing. I'm very much looking forward to seeing how that plays out.
So, here we are at the start of another arc, and already the title has me on the mat. No standing 8 count.
Art - 3: Porter continues to put a little more care into his art. After the mediocrity he mailed in midway through the last arc, it's nice to see some better character renderings. It's still not wonderful to look at, but it's leveled off a little bit at "passable". Livesay's inks pop pretty nicely. I just wish they were propping up better sketches.
Cover Art - 4: Crackin'! This is the best cover we've seen for this title so far. I'd love to have this as a poster.

DJ discovered the Bee Gees
Former 4BH DJ Bill Gates remembers "how wonderful" the Bee Gees sounded while singing at the Redcliffe Speedway as boys, before he came up with their name.PT1M43S http://www.theage.com.au/action/externalEmbeddedPlayer?id=d-2ecv3 620 349 February 13, 2013
In 1958 Redcliffe was a sleepy seaside town, a peninsula community that had been waiting more than 50 years for a rail line to connect it to Brisbane, and had no idea it would be waiting at least another 50.
It was a small town, where everybody knew everybody, and holidaymakers would set up tents with a view of the sometimes grey, sometimes crystal blue water. Kids, licking ice-creams melting in the Queensland sun, would throw lines into the water off Redcliffe Jetty, or build sand castles on Suttons Beach.
Barry Gibb first entered this world as a 12-year-old, along with his brothers, eight-year-old twins Robin and Maurice, and baby Andy. It's where he began organising gigs with his brothers at the Redcliffe Speedway, which turned into recording sessions at Radio 4BH, which eventually turned into national success.
The crowd builds ahead of the unveiling ceremony. Photo: Scott Beveridge
Today, he will re-enter the increasingly urbanised peninsula as a 66-year-old man, the sole-surviving member of one of the most celebrated pop groups in history - the Bee Gees.
It will be a day tinged with sad reflection, and memories of the brothers lost – Andy in 1988, Maurice in 2003, and Robin in 2012.
But Gibb will have his mother, 93-year-old Barbara, close by, as he reveals their likenesses in bronze.
Moreton Bay Mayor Allan Sutherland and Barry Gibb with a rough miniature of the statue to be unveiled on Thursday.
"She is irrepressible, and she's a very, very proud lady in terms of her boys, and quite a remarkable individual," says Bill Gates, the 4BH disc jockey who first put Barry, Robin and Maurice's natural harmonies on record.
Hundreds, even thousands, of fans are expected at the 2pm dedication, which will feature speeches from Moreton Bay mayor Allan Sutherland, as well as Bill Gates and of course, Barry Gibb himself.
Fairfax Radio stations 4BC and 4BH – both of which will be broadcasting live from the dedication – have had fan club members from Japan and the Netherlands express their intention of being there.

As well as unveiling the statue, made by sculptor Phillip Piperides and cast locally in Brendale, Gibb will dedicate the Bee Gees Walkway, a living walkway featuring the band's history and musical achievements.
Gibb has been working closely with Cr Sutherland on the exhibit, personally curating its contents.
Gates is looking forward to having a chat with Gibb, and returning to the speedway to mark where the Bee Gees began all those years ago.

Gates says he spoke to Robin after the group was inducted into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame in 1997, telling him they were now a long way from the Redcliffe Speedway.
"He said, 'Ah, Redcliffe, what a wonderful time we had there'," recalls Gates.
"He said 'Those were the old days, you could take a girl to dinner and the movies for $10 – the only problem was finding a girl with $10!'."

For Redcliffe residents, the statue represents something more than a claim to fame. They may be in bronze, but for Redcliffe, the Bee Gees have come home.
Redcliffe Parade (between Baker Street and Humpybong Esplanade) and Sutton Street (between Creek Street and Violet Street) will be closed to traffic from 6am to 5pm. Traffic controllers and detours will be in place.
Visitors are encouraged to travel via public transport with connecting bus services available from Sandgate Station.
A free bus shuttle service will also operate from the Redcliffe Showgrounds (vehicle entry via Scarborough Road) to the walkway (Sutton Street) from 11am to 5pm.
Motorists are encouraged to avoid Sutton Street due to traffic diversions.
Off-street parking areas near the event site are located off Fisher Drive, Humpybong Esplanade and Creek Street, Redcliffe.
Visitors to Bee Gees Way are encouraged to bring water and wear a hat, sunscreen, and garments that protect them from the sun.

After initially moving higher from the previous week, mortgage rates hit a bit of a lull this week. That's according to Freddie Mac, who reports that the rates market stayed a bit stagnant as opposed to the prior activity.
Specifically, 30-year fixed mortgages averaged 4.15 percent with an average 0.7 point for the week ending July 10. That was up from the previous week, when it averaged 4.12. This rate is lower than it was a year ago at this time, when it weighed in at 4.51 percent.
As for the 15-year fixed, it hit an average of 3.24 percent with an average 0.6 point. That's up from last week's average of 3.22 percent, but down from a year ago at this time, when it averaged 3.53 percent. The 5-year ARM was at an average of 2.99 percent this week with an average 0.4 point. That's up from last week's average of 2.98 percent and down from 3.26 percent a year ago.
One-year Treasury-index ARMs were at an average of 2.40 percent with an average 0.4 point. That's up from last week's 2.38 percent but down from last year's 2.66 percent.
"Mortgage rates increased for the week as the labor market appears to keep improving," Freddie Mac vice president and chief economist Frank Nothaft said in a prepared statement. "Based on the employment report released last week, the U.S. economy added 288,000 jobs in June, gained 224,000 in May and increased by 304,000 in April. Also, the unemployment rate in June fell to 6.1 percent from 6.3 percent in May."

15:19, UK, Thursday 09 July 2009
As Gordon Brown and his fellow G8 leaders discuss plans to halt global warming, Sky News Online looks at what individuals can do to reduce their carbon footprint.
The G8 has agreed to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 80% by 2050 to limit average global temperature increases to 2C.
In Britain, more than 40% of current carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are caused by individuals and their lifestyle choices, according to the Government's Act On CO2 campaign.
And the Energy Saving Trust (EST) says every household in the UK creates around five and half tonnes of carbon dioxide every year - enough to fill a hot air balloon.
In fact, the average home emits almost twice as much CO2 as the average car emits in a year, it says.
By being more energy efficient, we could all save around 1.5 tonnes of CO2 each year - and put an extra £300 back in our pockets.
This is the EST's advice on reducing your personal carbon footprint:
Leaving appliances plugged in and switched on at the socket means they are still using energy - so turn off TVs, games consoles and mobile phone chargers at the mains.
Across the UK, the electricity wasted by leaving appliances on standby equals the annual output of two 700MW power stations.
The DECC, Act On O2 and the EST all advise getting cavity wall insulation and using draught excluders for doors, windows and even letterboxes to reduce the amount of warm air escaping.
If everyone in the UK installed cavity wall insulation, CO2 emissions would be cut by nearly four million tonnes, says the EST.
That is enough CO2 to fill over 22 million double-decker buses or Wembley stadium 500 times.
And if everyone in the UK installed loft insulation up to 270mm thickness, it would save nearly three million tonnes of CO2 per year, the same as taking one million cars off the road.
If everyone in the UK with gas, oil or LPG (bottled gas) powered central heating installed a condensing boiler, CO2 emissions would be cut by around 6.7 million tonnes a year.
That is enough energy to heat nearly 1.9 million homes for a year.
CO2 emissions would be cut by over 900,000 tonnes if everyone in the UK topped up the insulation around their hot water tank to 75mm.
That is the same as the level of CO2 that would be generated by driving around the Earth 115,000 times.
Over nine in 10 homes in the UK have a washing machine and more than 40% have a tumble dryer and one in four have a dishwasher, using around £2bn worth of electricity
This produces around eight million tonnes of CO2 each year - the same as the carbon dioxide emissions from about 2.5 million cars.
The Energy Saving Trust says just drying clothes outside during the summer would save 65kg of CO2.
Fridges and freezers in UK homes use as much electricity in a year as four 700MW power stations.
If everyone in the UK upgraded to energy saving products, the CO2 saved each year would fill the Royal Albert Hall 15,000 times and the electricity saved could power the UK's street lighting for three years.
If every UK household installed just one extra energy saving light bulb in their house, the CO2 saved would be equivalent to taking 70,000 cars off the roads.
If everyone in the UK switched all their remaining traditional light bulbs to energy saving bulbs, the electricity saved in one year would run Britain's street lighting for four and a half years.

A day after Clay Buchholz became baseball's first six-game winner, one analyst is accusing the Boston Red Sox pitcher of doctoring baseballs. Dirk Hayhurst with Sportsnet — a former pitcher, current author and analyst — spotted something on Buchholz' arm in Wednesday's 10-1 win over the Toronto Blue Jays.
Hayhurst tweeted: "I just saw video of Buchholz loading the ball with some Eddie Harris worthy slick'em painted up his left forearm. Wow." Sportsnet published this photo Thursday with the headline "Is Red Sox Buchholz doctoring ball?"
The Red Sox, as you can imagine, weren't very happy with Hayhurst's haymaker. Manager John Farrell and Buchholz both denied the accusations. Farrell told Pete Abraham of the Boston Globe:
"It bothers me immensely when someone is going to make an accusation, and in this case cheating, because they've seen something on TV. He's got rosin on his arm. I think rosin was designed to get a grip. But the fact is, he's got it on his arm. I've seen some people who have brought photographs to me. They're false, The fact is the guy's 6-0; he's pitched his tail off. If people are going to point to him cheating? Unfounded."
Worth noting: Nobody has asked to check any ball Buchholz has thrown in six starts.
— Pete Abraham (@PeteAbe) May 2, 2013
Another for the "worth noting" category: Buchholz was named the American League pitcher of the month for April, with a 1.19 ERA and 39 strikeouts to go with his 5--0 record, which is now 6-0 after his first May victory.
UPDATE: In an MLB.com story, Buchholz denied the allegations saying he's "not doing anything wrong." Also: @JRS2244 points out to us on Twitter that Buchholz was spotted putting rosin on his arm in the first inning.
@mikeoz @bigleaguestew @josroze From the RSN broadcast, start of BOT 1st. He puts rosin on his arm all the time. twitter.com/JRS2244/status…

Buddy Rich: Norwegian Wood
Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)
Buddy Rich (drums)
Big Swing Face (Blue Note 27989)
Buddy Rich (drums),
Bobby Shew, Charles Findley, John Scottile, Yoshito Murakami (trumpets), Jim Trimble, Ron Myers, Bill Wimberly (trombones), Ernie Watts, Quin Davis (alto saxes), Jay Corre, Robert Keller (tenor saxes), Marty Flax (baritone sax), Ray Starling (piano), Richard Resnicoff (guitar), James Gannon (bass).
Composed by Lennon/McCartney; arranged by Bill Holman.
Recorded: Hollywood, CA, February 22-March 10, 1967
Rating: 92/100 (learn more)
Though the power and audacity of Bill Holman's arrangement contrasts with the light folksiness of John Lennon's original, there are also elements in common. The booming low brass pedal notes recall the drone of George Harrison's sitar, and the harmonic movement and melodic content is charmingly minimal. Like the Beatles' version, Holman's arrangement is focused on shifting texture and overlaying counterpoint, only on a more massive scale. The energy peaks on the final bridge (replete with Jim Trimble's trombone freak-out) and the last fortissimo unison verse backed by screaming trumpet shakes, multiple contrapuntal lines and Rich's ferocious drumming. Just when your ears are about to explode, everything drops out and guitarist Richard Resnicoff tags the final four bars by himself. An exhilarating chart by the hardest swinging big band of the 1960s.

Holy cow I cant believe its Thursday already! This week is flying by!
I have to organize my office a bit better. I have so many papers, files etc, and I need to go thru it all and get rid of stuff. I did it a couple years ago before little man was born, but its definately time to do it again. I have a lot of files and info on my computer, but I still like to have hard copy of things too---maybe not everything but a lot of it. So I just clean it out every couple of years and it seems to work out for now.
I just spoke to my cousin. She crochets (spelling?) hats, scarfs, blankets and such. I dont know how she finds the time---shes got three little kids! I told her that I would buy whatever she can make by Thanksgiving and I would buy it off her. Ill send it down to the hurricane Sandy people. I dont mid helping people/animals out---charity--but I like to do it my own way---and help out who I want to help. But I always look out for number one (my son and myself/house etc first)---you have to these days for sure!
QOTD: Do you do any charity work, volunteering or donating? It seems, especially this time of year, a lot of hands are out, and no one can help out everybody all the time in these economic times!
AOTD: If I donate, I usually only donate to animal groups etc. But this hurricane Sandy thing just is so overwhelming and its hard to imagine how those people's holidays etc are going to be, so I would like to put together some care packages and send them down for the holidays. I havent done any volunteering, but when little man gets a little older, I would like to do some with him (maybe at the SPCA and environmental volunteering--plant trees, clean-ups etc), maybe visit the nursing home, something for the veterans or something like that.
WFD: We ate up most of our leftovers, so I have to come up with something tonight. Might be pork chops. I already made some sweet potatoes today...So it will be pork chops, sweet potatoes, and veggies. Maybe Ill do an apple onion pork chop. I have a million apples and onions to use up!
Have a nice day!

Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons are bringing their show to Jacksonville's Times-Union Center's Moran Theater on Wednesday, March 5, 2014 at 7:30PM for one performance only!
Oh, what a story. Frankie Valli, who came to fame in 1962 as the lead singer of the Four Seasons, is hotter than ever in the 21st century. Thanks to the volcanic success of the Tony-winning musical Jersey Boys, which chronicles the life and times of Frankie and his legendary group, such classic songs as "Big Girls Don't Cry," "Walk Like a Man," "Rag Doll," and "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" are all the rage all over again. The real Frankie Valli is also packing venues around the world and has toured almost continuously since 1962.
Launched amid Jersey Boys-mania, Frankie Valli's first new studio album in 15 years 'Romancing The '60s' has become the latest classic. Produced by Bob Gaudio, the set includes unforgettable new versions of such gems as "Spanish Harlem," "Call Me" and "Take Good Care of My Baby."
The majority of the 71 chart hits of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons (including 40 in the Top 40, 19 in the Top 10, and eight No. 1's) came during the 1960's, but the music didn't just disappear. The songs have been omnipresent in such movies as The Deer Hunter, Dirty Dancing, Mrs. Doubtfire, Conspiracy Theory, and The Wanderers. As many as 200 artists have done cover versions of Frankie's "Can't Take My Eyes Off You," from Nancy Wilson's jazz treatment to Lauryn Hill's hip-hop makeover.
Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons have influenced many other great recording artists. That was acknowledged in dozens of recent tributes collected for Jersey Beat, the new Four Seasons boxed set. For example, from Barry Gibb: "Frankie Valli to me has become one of the hallmark voices of our generation. From the deepest emotions of his real voice to the power of his falsetto, he created a style that we all still strive to emulate." From Billy Joel: "I wrote 'Uptown Girl' as the flip side to the story of 'Rag Doll.' I always loved that record." And from Brian Wilson: "In the early '60s the Four Seasons were my favorite group. I thought they were fantastic. The voice blend was fantastic. The competition helped me to get cracking. It inspired me, because they made good music. I went to the piano thinking I could top their music."
For as far into the future as anyone can see, Jersey Boys will introduce the music of Frankie Valli to new generations.

Haha when I saw the title, I wondered if you were referring to your camera.
I like the way some of the people are blurred.

Canon. Get a Canon. Nikon = monkey balls.
