Monocacy National Battlefield
Frederick County, Maryland
Located on the grounds of the Monocacy National Battlefield, the
Worthington House is a mid-19th century ell-shaped brick farmhouse.
Judging from the modest exterior, it is rather surprising to find
that the building contains noteworthy interior stenciling. The two
front rooms on either side of the center stair hall and the stair
hall itself all have remarkably intact examples of "trompe l'oeil"
stenciled paneling combined with an egg and dart motif frieze
The National Park Service acquired the 282 acre Worthington
property in 1982, principally to protect this detached portion of
the battlefield from intensive development. At the time of
acquisition, the farmhouse was vacant and severely deteriorated
with extensive water damage occurring as a result of major leaks
and a predominance of broken and missing windows. Vines and
saplings were growing up through the building and roof, destroying
the mortar and displacing the bricks. The one-story porch across
the front had collapsed, causing noticeable dislocation of the
front masonry wall. In several areas large numbers of the handmade
brick had been scavenged from the exterior, leaving gaping holes in
the bearing walls.
With no immediate use planned for the building, it was necessary to
repair and stabilize the structure or lose it to deterioration.
Work was undertaken using limited funds to make the building
structurally sound, weathertight, and less vulnerable to vandalism.
Rather than using traditional mothballing techniques, which rely
heavily on temporary measures and the introduction of non-historic
elements, the project team utilized high quality but cost-effective
stabilization measures whenever possible to ensure the long-term
preservation of the historic building. Temporary features, such as
window vents, were designed and installed in such a manner as to be
reversible and to cause little additional loss of historic fabric.
Situated on a very windy knoll, the Worthington House had several
immediate preservation problems. The interior was waterlogged.
Rain entered through broken and missing windows and through the
deteriorated slate roof. At the time of acquisition, the structure
had been occupied sporadically for approximately 10 years by
vagrants and had received no upkeep at all. Rodent and insect
infestation was also contributing to the deterioration of the
Early work focused on the need to make the building as weathertight
as possible, yet allow for adequate ventilation. Consideration was
given to devising a solution that would incorporate the window work
with a passive ventilation system. It was recognized that if the
house was tightly sealed with insufficient ventilation, the
building would be particularly susceptible to condensation and
moisture damage. Another factor to consider was that the building
would remain unheated and unoccupied for an undetermined length of
Neither boarding over the openings nor installing full sash
throughout would provide optimum ventilation on the interior. This
would be required to deter fungal decay of the wood and to avoid
condensation damage to plaster walls and to their decorative
stencil work. Hot daytime temperatures followed by cold nights in
the spring and early fall could result in significant condensation
damage to the plaster and stencil work. Damage would be
particularly acute when nighttime temperatures fell below freezing.
Furthermore, the hot moist air of the long Maryland summer would
create problems, since high humidity can present a favorable
condition for fungal growth. This is particularly true when the
drying effect of air movement, normally induced in an occupied
building is not present. The potential for damage in these
circumstances was great. Once wood absorbs enough moisture from
the hot humid air and if fungal attack begins, the process of wood
decay would enable the fungi to maintain the wood in a wet
condition since fungi reduces wood to water and carbon dioxide.
While such moisture problems could arise throughout the house, the
basement was particularly susceptible to such damage due to
moisture infiltration through the dirt floor, the below grade
location, and seepage through the walls and basement doors.
Since the stabilization plan did not call for the installation of
either a heating or a mechanical ventilation system, the solution
to the air circulation needs was to install window vents. The
basic "rule of thumb" used by the project staff for determining the
amount of open air needed for good air circulation in this building
is to use 50 percent of the sash units for ventilation. This
approach has been successfully used by the Williamsport
Preservation Training Center in previous projects. Depending upon
individual conditions, some adjustment needs to be made based on
the layout of rooms, interior walls, door locations, and number and
location of stair shafts and windows.
Because cross-room ventilation was desirable, the location of the
ventilating louvers was critical. With proper planning, natural
ventilation could be induced through the "chimney" or "updraft
effect" within the building by which warm air raises and escapes
through higher level vents, to be replaced with cooler air entering
at lower levels.
Good air movement would also tend to equalize interior and exterior
temperatures, thus lessening condensation problems within the brick
walls and on interior painted plaster surfaces.
The window louvers had to be located so as to promote cross-room
ventilation and avoid stagnant air pockets in the rooms.
Furthermore, improvements to the appearance of the exterior of this
long neglected building were desired. Efforts were taken,
therefore, to locate as many of the louvers as possible on side and
rear elevations, thereby minimizing the visual impact on the front
elevation. Full double-sash vents could be placed in some side and
rear windows to permit more glass on the front elevation. Even the
glazing in the reconditioned or replacement windows would help to
facilitate air movement within the building, since the sunlight
passing through the glass would heat inside air and cause it to
rise out through upper floor level vents. Cooler air entering
through the basement windows would replace the warmer air.
A survey of the building's 31 window openings established that on
the first floor all but one sash were either missing or beyond
repair. Altogether, only about one-third of the individual sash
units were repairable. Most of those that were reconditioned
required muntin replacement. In order to save on the final
production costs involved in repairing or constructing the 52
individual sash units, all sash work was completed in one shop
operation. The louvered vents were temporarily installed in lieu
of the glazed sash on the bottom half of most window openings as
part of the "mothballing" and stabilization efforts.
Wooden fixed louver vents were custom-made and installed. The
easily fabricated louvers were sized to fit the lower sash opening
- 34 1/2" wide by 34 1/4" high on the first floor, while those for
the smaller second floor windows were only 25 1/4" high. Full
units were installed in all single-sash basement windows, since the
window area was much less and the moisture problems more severe.
At the same time, the three attic windows were also replaced with
full louvers to encourage thorough multi-level ventilation.
Custom-built wooden louvers were selected over stock, pre-
fabricated metal vents for the following reasons: most pre-
fabricated vent systems would require modifications of the historic
jamb in order to get a secure fit; a single style metal unit could
not be found to fit the variety of opening sizes and the depth of
the jamb; costs would be greater than making the custom units; and
most important, it was felt that the thin gauge metal units offered
little or no deterrent to unlawful entry. The wooden units
presented a more secure system.
The louver frame was designed to fit snugly into the existing sash
tracks and simultaneously to secure the glazed upper sash. An
added benefit of the 6" stock width is that it provided a fairly
rigid - and thus secure - louver frame. The louver frame was
constructed of 1" x 6" shelf grade northeastern white pine; the
louver slats were made from 1" x 8" pine. The spacing of the
louver slats did not exceed 4" in order to provide additional
lateral strength (and security) to the frame. The relative
closeness of the slats also would make it more difficult to kick
out the grade level units. The slats were set into the frame at a
45 degree angle by routing a 1/4" deep dado cut into the jamb of
the louver. The exposed edges of the slats were plumb cut in order
to create a water drip on the exterior.
Prior to assembly, the louver members were primed using an alcohol
base paint in order to get at least one protective coat on all
surfaces. After assembly, they were given one shop coat of oil
base exterior house paint. A final coat was applied after
installation. For aesthetic reasons, the paint color used on the
sash and trim was selected for the final coat on the louvers.
In order to secure the vents in place, common 6d galvanized box
nails were driven through the louver jambs into the sash tracks of
the historic window jambs. To keep the jamb and stops from being
damaged by the louver installation, temporary blocking was set
between the parting bead and the inner and outer stops. By
attaching the vents in this location, little damage was done as the
2 nails were driven into the sash track rather than an exposed
portion of the jamb. Once the building is returned to use, the
lower sash will be installed and the nail holes will be filled with
wood putty. Since the nails were driven in on the interior of the
building, nearly 3" from the exterior wall, adequate security was
achieved without driving the nails all the way in. Thus it will be
relatively easy to grab onto the nail heads and back them out when
the vents are eventually removed.
After the louvers were secured in place, 1/16" mesh copper wire
screening was installed on the interior of the louver frame using
a 1/2" square wood frame. The screening is an integral part of the
louver design. This seemingly minor detail was necessary to
prevent the recurrence of insect, bird, and rodent infestation.
The 1/16" mesh was specified to keep out the ever-present mud-
dauber wasp, whose hive building instincts have no regard for
historic plaster or paint.
The cost of constructing and installing the louvers in 27 window
openings was around $1,800, including 17 full size louvers, 7
basement and 3 attic units. This work was undertaken concurrently
with the construction and installation of the reconstructed window
sash and repairs to the frames, sills, jambs, and surrounding
brickwork. The total cost of the window work was less than $9,000,
involving 31 window openings.
The window louvers installed in the Worthington House have proven
effective over the past two years in providing the necessary
ventilation for the building. Neither fungal attack nor
condensation damage has recurred, and the interior air lacks even
the typically humid musty odor typically found in many older
buildings. The louvers provide for good air movement within the
building and a greater equilibrium between interior and exterior
humidity levels and air temperatures, thus helping to protect the
historic plaster and the significant interior finishes. The
installation of the louver system in conjunction with the other
sash work, and the overall exterior stabilization work has
stimulated an interest in finding a use for the structure. As a
temporary solution to a complex set of problems, the louver vents
in the Worthington House have resolved a variety of issues. When
used together with additional weatherproofing measures, this
venting solution can be adopted for use in other buildings being

- Material and labor for construction of the 17 full-size, 7
basement and 3 attic louvers was approximately $1,800. The
material and labor cost for reconstruction of the sash,
including glazing, painting, sizing and installation was
around $5,200 (roughly $100 per sash unit), involving 21 pairs
of double-hung sash and 7 basement and 3 attic windows. All
other related work for the 31 openings, including sizing and
installation of the louvers, repair to window openings
(repair/replacement of sills and jambs and related masonry
work), painting, and installation of screening and blocking
cost between $1,000 and $2,000. Total window costs for
complete sash and the louvers as well as installation and
finish work was between $8,000 and $9,000.

Having kmemleak turned on at least in rawhide is a good thing. As for a released kernel, I'd agree that the kthread Catalin uses probably affects battery life. Of course you could disable it, but I suppose you mentioned this because of the default - hence, copying fedora-kernel so that someone can actually answer your question. Jon.

Delight Your Customers -- 7 Simple Ways to Raise Your Customer Service from Ordinary to Extraordinary, is the new book by consultant and University of Kansas graduate Steve Curtin.
Curtin shares that, "Great customer service is rare. In fact, one survey found that while 80 percent of companies described themselves as delivering superior service, consumers estimated the number at a mere 8 percent."
The problem, according to Curtin, is actually quite simple. When asked what their work entails, most employees list the duties and tasks associated with their position. Very few refer to the true essence of their job, which should be their highest priority—to create delighted customers who will be less price sensitive, have higher repurchase rates, and enthusiastically recommend the company or brand to others. Without this customer focus, all that exists is a transaction—and transactional service does not make a lasting positive impression or inspire loyalty.
In Delight Your Customers, Curtin reveals three elements common to all exceptional service experiences.
He also makes a compelling case that attention needs to shift from monitoring service activities to modeling, recognizing, and reinforcing the behaviors that actually create happy customers, such as:
- expressing genuine interest
- offering sincere compliments
- sharing unique knowledge
- conveying authentic enthusiasm
- providing pleasant surprises
- delivering service heroics when needed
Illustrated with real-world stories and examples, the book helps readers to take their customer service from ordinary to extraordinary.
Curtin spent 20 years with Marriott International. He now runs his own customer service consulting firm, Steve Curtin, Customer Enthusiast!
Since 1992, he has delivered interactive and engaging presentations on three continents, in six countries, and 26 states. In addition, he has delivered over 600 presentations to more than 20,000 people.

"Avatar" stars Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldana have signed on for three more "Avatar" movies. According to an article published by The Hollywood Reporter on Jan. 14, 2014, Worthington (who plays Jake Scully) and Saldana (who plays Neytiri) have joined Stephen Lang (who plays Colonel Quaritch) to be among the actors from the original "Avatar" cast to sign up for the sequels, which are due out in 2016, 2017 and 2018.
All three of the movies will be filmed back-to-back. The first "Avatar" sequel begins filming in October 2014. Just as with the first "Avatar" movie, the plots of the "Avatar" sequels are being kept confidential, but The Hollywood Reporter confirmed that Scully and Neytiri, who fell in love and became a couple in the first "Avatar" movie, will have children in the sequels. Lang's Colonel Quaritch died in the first "Avatar" movie, so his role will likely be written as flashbacks for the sequels.
"Avatar" writer/director/producer James Cameron will have the same roles for the "Avatar" sequels. Cameron will also be working with screenwriters Josh Friedman, Rick Jaffa, Amanda Silver and Shane Salerno on the sequels.
20th Century Fox's "Avatar," which was released in 2009, is the highest-grossing movie of all time, surpassing previous record holder "Titanic." According to Box Office Mojo, "Avatar" grossed $2.8 billion worldwide, with $760.5 million of that total coming from the U.S. and Canada. "Avatar" won three Academy Awards: Best Visual Effects, Best Cinematography and Best Art Direction.
Cameron commented to The Hollywood Reporter about Worthington and Saldana signing on for the "Avatar" sequels: "Jake Sully is a rare combination of passion, strength, street smarts and soul, which requires a lot from an actor. Sam brought to the role a combination of sensitivity, vulnerability and strength. Zoe captured every aspect of the character I envisioned, bringing to Neytiri a mix of delicacy, fierceness and incredible physicality. I am beyond pleased they'll be returning with us to Pandora."

OK. I am a frustrated VISTA user (like so many others).
I am wondering if there is a way to have some sort of program/function show me when EVERYTHING is loaded after reboot/log-on.
I am asking this because I need to make some changes and I need some sort of cue to tell me when VISTA is done - completely! This way I can see if any changes I make in my settings do anything useful. I plan to sit with a stop-watch and take notes :-)
And I was thinking that perhaps a small script in the start-up folder would do; print something on screen as the last item. Trouble is that I have no idea of how to make this script - or how to make sure it runs as the very last thing.

COMMENTS FROM MON & TUES SHOWS AT DOVER (DE) LIBRARY and BELMONT HALL SMYRNA
Dover: Greer did, I thought, an excellent job. some humor, wonderful French accent,
very knowledgeable, etc. Gerri Street, Esq.
Smyrna: Everyone enjoyed your performance on Tuesday night. I am so happy that we
had a higher attendance than Dover! That is a feat! I would certainly
recommend your program to any one who loves history and/or wants to learn
more about the important part that the duPont family and company have had in
making Delaware what it is today! The way you have put the information
together and produced it into an entertaining performance makes it easy to
understand and holds everyone's attention.
I will keep you in mind as a fundraiser... perhaps the Smyrna Opera House
would be interested! I will mention this to my friends who volunteer there.
So good to meet you,
Missy Vaughn

Recent media reports of deaths related to consumption of drinks high in caffeine1 remind us that substances that are safe and even beneficial at usual doses (how many of us would have survived residency without caffeinated beverages?) may be harmful when consumed to excess. As demonstrated by the authors of this provocative Research Letter, consumers cannot be certain how much caffeine they are consuming in dietary supplements. The authors tested 20 different supplements sold at military installations: 5 had levels very different from what was advertised on the label, and 6 did not even state on the label the amount of caffeine in the product. This report contributes to other reports in this journal2 and other journals indicating that to protect the public we need tighter regulation of dietary supplements.

When we first saw this Kennedy Stencil in Aqua Handbag ($169) we thought to ourselves, "Sure, that looks great... until the first time we drop it in a puddle." But this bag is one step ahead of us. The satiny, gorgeous fabric used to make it is actually water-repellent, making wiping off dirt and stains a cinch. It's also made with eco-friendly materials right here in the USA. What's not to love?

PowerPoint lecture slides Introduction to Flash (792k).
Flash arrives with a number of tutorials built into the package. It is probably a good idea to try these before looking at anything more demanding.
The HTML template produced by Flash to embed shockwave into web pages nests an <embed> tag inside an <object> tag in order to be compatible with all browsers. But the <embed> tag is deprecated in the XHTML 1.1 vocabulary.
This elementary example demonstrates how to embed shockwave into a web page that is XHTML 1.1, works in all popular browsers and is WCAG priority 3 compliant (even if Bobby says otherwise).
There are a number of ways that Flash can interact with server resources. directory.html provides an example of data transfer between shockwave and MySQL using PHP for the server side scripting. Although this is a simple example it does demonstrate how shockwave can access server resources without having to reload the page. Although Flash developers have been creating asynchronous applications such as this for some years the idea has become incredibly popular in DHTML applications since J.J.Garrett published his AJAX paper in 2005. The expression 'patial page update pattern' is also used to describe such behaviour.
Mr Scruff provides an interesting example of an interactive Flash site in which he demonstrates that you don't need to be a skilled graphical artist to be creative
What do you like /dislike about this site?
What might someone else not like about this site?
Let no one elses work evade your eyes...

Rookie rankings, especially in early March, are even more subjective than dynasty rankings. Much will change as we near the NFL Draft in May, but here are our much too early "Rookie Rankings" for everyone to rip apart as they see fit. Unlike most rookie classes, the running back position is without any real NFL star potential – at least in the short term. Once we figure out a home for these cats, the picture will become more resolute, giving us more definitive data to work with. As a whole, the position is deep with middling talent. Names we thought would be drafted high underwhelmed at the combine and could potentially shoot their draft stocks down. The other three big positions have special talents – whether or not they'll be superstars – remains to be seen. Be sure to check out our Dynasty Fantasy Football Headquarters for more dynasty coverage!
Crowell at number 2?
Not sure my last comment went through. I wanted to know how does someone evaluate,grade,and separate one player from another when drafting rookies playing dynasty football.
Nice list! I have a question if I could. What does someone who isn't sure how to evaluate and separate players when playing dynasty football look for?

In the coming years, through its 50-50 joint venture with Snecma, a subsidiary of France-based Safran, General Electric (NYSE:GE) will make aviation history with the introduction of the Leap jet engine. Not only will the Leap engine make many breakthroughs on the fuel-efficiency front, but it will also feature 3-D metal-printed fuel nozzles. As a result, General Electric is effectively pioneering the use of 3-D printing in larger-scale manufacturing applications.
In the following video, 3-D printing specialist Steve Heller asks General Electric's chief manufacturing scientist Stephan Biller to provide an update on the Leap engine, as well as its 3-D printed fuel nozzles. Going forward, General Electric investors should continue to monitor new developments about the progress of the Leap engine, and how its 3-D printing manufacturing expertise is translating into other areas of its business.
A full transcript follows the video.
Warren Buffett: This new technology is a "real threat"
At the recent Berkshire Hathaway annual meeting, Warren Buffett admitted this emerging technology is threatening his biggest cash cow. While Buffett shakes in his billionaire boots, only a few investors are embracing this new market, which experts say will be worth more than $2 trillion. Find out how you can cash in on this technology before the crowd catches on, by jumping into one company that could get you the biggest piece of the action. Click here to access a FREE investor alert on the company we're calling the "brains behind" the technology.
Steve Heller: I wanted to talk about the LEAP jet engine, particularly -- we're at a 3-D printing conference -- the fuel nozzle. I wanted to know if you could update us at all, how the progress is going with that?
Stephan Biller: Progress is going great. We're making great progress. The LEAP is obviously going to be one of our [General Electric's] most important products we're going to introduce. By 2020, we believe that we're going to have printed about 100,000 additive [3-D printed] parts going into the LEAP.
We're [General Electric is] really taking advantage of that new technology, and it's a very, very exciting time. We're working very hard on it together with our business partners in aviation, and there's lots and lots of excitement around that.
I think we're going to introduce that engine faster; usually in aviation you think about, "How long is it going to take you to make the 250th engine?" That will be faster than it has been ever before.
Heller: Interesting. GE, in particular, is pioneering larger-scale 3-D printing manufacturing, with real metal in jet engines, in harsh environments. Is that correct?
Biller: Yes, that is exactly right. That was the idea of our acquisition of Morris, of course, was the basis for us being able to do that.
Heller: Right, to give you the expertise and understanding, and be able to push the boundaries of 3-D printing technology to fit your own [General Electric's] operations.
Biller: Yes.

Samsung Rugby and ZTE Rock F165 prepared by Rogers
There's nothing official about this yet, but it looks like two new rugged mobile phones will soon be launched in Canada by Rogers: Samsung Rugby A836 and ZTE Rock F165.
BGR says that the two handsets could be released this month, so let's see what they are all about.
Samsung Rugby is a clamshell that's already available in the US, via AT&T.
Apart from meeting the 810F military standard and withstanding shock vibrations, rain, dust and solar radiations, the handset is a regular one, featuring stuff like HSDPA connectivity, A-GPS, Bluetooth and a 1.3 MP camera. With a 3-yr contract agreement, the phone will cost $149.99.
Here's what the Rugby A836 looks like:
The other future Rogers handset, ZTE Rock F165, is a candybar with an external antenna, a 176 x 220 pixels display, GSM/HSDPA connectivity and a 2MP camera.
ZTE Rock will be sold for $79.99 with a 3-yr contract agreement.
Update: Both handsets are now available and you can check them out at the Rogers Rugged website.

Encyclopedia of Jazz Musicians
Holloway, Ron (Ronald Edward)
Holloway, Ron (Ronald Edward), tenor saxophone; b. Washington DC, 24 August, 1953. Ron grew up in a household where listening to jazz was a favorite pastime. His parents, Winston and Marjorie Holloway were, and are, avid jazz listeners. They parents met while attending Howard University, in Washington, D.C. They both loved jazz, and would frequently go to concerts at the Howard Theatre. During these early years, Ron heard and enjoyed his father's albums, but had no interest yet in becoming a musician himself.
In October of 1966, at thirteen years of age, Ron attended Carter G. Woodson Jr. High School. It was there that he was introduced to the alto saxophone. On the first day, during orientation, one of the speakers was the school band director, Arthur Capehart, who needed volunteers to come to the bandroom, and learn to play an instrument. Ron wasn't interested, but two friends convinced Ron to go with them, and when they showed up the next day Capehart asked them to choose a clarinet, a French horn, or alto saxophone. Ron immediately chose the saxophone and found he enjoyed practicing diligently. A few months later, Mr. Capehart switched Ron to the larger tenor saxophone. In December of 1966, the Holloways moved from a modest apartment in Washington, D.C. to a house in Takoma Park, MD, where he was able to practice in the basement.
Ron was now attending Takoma Park Jr. High, and playing in the school band. Each day upon returning home, he would absorb valuable lessons from his Dad's record collection. "One of the first players to make an impression on me was Willis "Gatortail" Jackson. His style was more R&B based, and therefore easier for me to grasp, at that early stage. Later, as my hearing became more advanced, I came under the sway of Sonny Rollins, John Coltrane, and Miles Davis, who remain my principle influences to this day. As I listened to all of these great players, I noticed something very important: They all had their own distinctive styles, and sounds. I realized this was the thing to strive for; a personal expression that people could recognize as ME!"
It wasn't long before Ron Holloway began to find his own voice on the tenor saxophone. When school let out in the summer of 1967, Ron would practice anywhere from 8 to 12 hours a day. "I didn't mind putting in a whole day of practice. I was thoroughly consumed by my instrument, and the music of my heroes." Over the next few years, Ron would regularly participate in jam sessions with school buddies, and joined his first Top 40/ R&B band: "The Speculations". More and more the practice of "sitting-in" became an important element in Ron's development, and a main reason for the saxophonist's versatility. It was not unusual to find him sitting-in with a jazz, R&B, funk, rock, fusion, blues, or even country band, all in the space of a week. Despite all of this local activity, Ron eventually felt the need for a greater challenge.
In the summer of 1974, he sat-in with trumpet great Freddie Hubbard. In 1975, Ron sat-in with his mentor and friend; tenor saxophone legend, and recent Grammy Award Winner, Sonny Rollins. 1977 proved to be a most pivotal year in Ron's career. It was in 1977 that Ron first met, and sat-in with Dizzy Gillespie. "By '77 I was making my living playing music. I was living in an apartment close to my old high school, and a couple of miles from my parents' house. Late one morning, I was recovering from playing until the wee hours, when the phone rang. It was my Dad informing me of a new club that was due to open about a mile from where I was living. The name of the club was the Showboat Lounge, and Sonny Rollins, Freddie Hubbard, and Dizzy Gillespie were among the scheduled performers."
On the first night of Dizzy Gillespie's first week, Ron went to the club armed with a tape recorder. "I arrived about 45 minutes before showtime, asked where the dressing room was, and headed in that direction. As I approached the room, I realized the door was ajar, because I could hear Dizzy warming up. He was holding out long tones, starting with the lowest notes, and coming up the scale by half steps. When I got to the door, I stood in the frame for a second, Dizzy looked up, and immediately said, 'Whatcha got on the tape?' I said; Mr. Gillespie, this is a tape of myself sitting-in with Sonny Rollins at Howard University. He said; 'Let's hear it!' He patted the chair next to him with his hand, as if to say, 'sit here.' I sat down, pressed play, and Dizzy listened very intently. After he'd heard my solo, he whirled around in his chair, and with all the enthusiasm of a child asked, 'You got your horn? I said, 'No sir, I didn't want to appear presumptuous.' Dizzy grinned widely, and said: 'Presumptuous-- now THERE'S a word!' We both burst out laughing." Ron performed with Dizzy that whole week, and afterwards had a standing invitation to sit-in with the band whenever they came to town.
1977 continued to be a pivotal year for the young saxophonist. It was in this year that Ron joined alternative rocker, Rootboy Slim's band. Rootboy's band wasn't a jazz group, but it gave Ron plenty of freedom to develop his improvisational skills. Ron would be an active member of Rootboy's band from 1977 to 1987. The tenure with Rootboy would overlap with a couple of other groups. "I began playing with a funk band called Osiris, which was based on the Washington, D.C. side. Rootboy was based in Takoma Park, on the Maryland side. As if this wasn't enough of a coincidence, both groups wound up getting signed by Warner Brothers. I played with Osiris from 1979 to 1981. In November of 1981, I was off one Saturday night, and went to Blues Alley to sit-in with drummer Norman Connors' group. After the first set, I was on my way up the stairs when I heard a deep baritone voice say, 'I like the way you handled yourself up there!' I turned around to see Gil Scott-Heron coming up the steps behind me! Gil invited me to join his group. In February of 1982, I played my first gig with Gil Scott-Heron at the Bottom Line, in New York City. I was a member of Gil's group from February of 1982 'til June 1989."
Ron had continued sitting-in with Dizzy while a member of Scott-Heron's band. "In June of '89, while performing with Dizzy at Blues Alley, he asked me if I'd like to join his quintet! I responded with a question, 'When do I start?' 'I think you already have,' was Dizzy's reply." Ron toured the world, playing for kings, and dignitaries, appeared on the Johnny Carson, and Arsenio Hall shows, and recorded 2 CD's with Dizzy. Ron was a member of Dizzy's quintet until the passing of the great trumpeter, on January 6th, 1993.
Ron is the recipient of 40 Washington Area Music Awards, two of them for Musician of the Year.

"Dear Damon,
I signed up with a debt settlement company two years ago. I signed up for a three year program with Lifeguard Financial/FBL Associates/Noteoworld. I have paid $445 for the past 24 months. They tokk over $8000 in fees of the $9500 I paid. The latest was on June 2, 2011 for $1400 for provider activation dee and $395 for a Maintenance Fee, all this after I was specificall told that the fees would cease as of Jan, 2011..
My credit is destroyed. How do I get ot of this, and get a refund? They refuse to answer the phone, email. faxes, etc?
Dear George,
Hello George,
I wish my news was better but it appears that Lifeguard has filed for bankruptcy which is why they are likely not returning your calls.
Please see my response to another consumer who was scammed by this company.
If they just took $800 dollars from you on June 2nd, I would immediately contact Noteworld and demand that money back. If you are not successful then I would go to my bank and dispute the charge and ask them to do a charge back.
With the company in bankruptcy, the chances are very slim that you will get any of your fees back but you might as well put in a claim as a creditor, it couldn't hurt.
Damon is a talented independent debt coach that provides in-depth assistance and consultations for people struggling with debt.

When you sell stock you make it available for purchase on the market. It is similar to putting an item of value up for sale on an online auction, only the price is dictated by stock market movements. A broker facilitates the transaction. To sell the stock, he either puts it up for sale on a stock exchange or electronic trading system. Another option is to sell it to a market maker firm that buys the stock at the current market price.
Do Brokers Charge for This?
Brokers charge whether you buy or sell stock on the stock market, just as is the case with an online auction. If you sell something as a result of an auction, you must pay a commission fee to the auction website for facilitating the transaction. The broker requires a fee for the service of completing your request. The fee may be a flat rate or based on the volume or size of your trades.
Trading Online
Online trading systems have streamlined the process of selling stocks. In the past, you had to go to a broker's office with stock certificates to initiate this type of request. Now in a few clicks you can sell your stocks through an Internet-based brokerage. When you trade stocks online instead of going to a broker's office you commonly pay less for the service.
Some new traders make uninformed decisions to sell stock either too soon or too late due to poor research or lack of education on how the stock market works. Portfolio manager Pat McKeough advises on the website MoneyVille, "Don't sell your top-quality stocks just because they've gone up." Other experts advise you to sell when the time comes that you have a better place to put your money. So if you're new to stock selling and buying, consult an experienced and trusted financial adviser. Read recent editions of books on stock trading and attend reputable trading seminars that come to your area. Listen to a wide variety of opinions from experts.

A surfer is in an Intensive Care Unit at a hospital in Pinelands, South Africa, after a massive Great White shark attacked him, lunging up at him from below the surface and propelling him at least ten feet into the air. One witness says that 20-year-old Matthew Smithers "should be dead" after the vicious shark attack, reported Independent Online August 2.
Matthew Smithers was out on his surfboard Friday off Muizenberg Beach in Cape Town, reportedly in deep water some 200-300 meters (656-984 feet) from shore, when the Great White shark attacked from below, coming up from the depths. The shark hit the surfboard, propeling board and surfer at least three meters (10 feet) through the air.
Veteran surfer Julian Pringle noted, "There was only the board between him and the shark's mouth. His board saved him," he added.
Smithers came down and the Great White seized him, biting him across the legs. Pringle described the surfer's legs as badly gashed.
Pringle also estimated that the Great White shark was at least 4 meters (13 feet) long. "The guy should be dead," he told Weekend Argus (per Independent Online), describing Smithers' survival as a "miracle."
He and fellow surfer Brendhan "Jock" Kannemeyer swam out to help Smithers who had somehow managed to get back to and climb onto his surfboard. Kannemeyer said that the shark was circling Smithers as he swam out to assist.
Although Kannemeyer was onshore when the shark attacked, he had been out much deeper a little earlier and had seen the shark. He had immediately moved toward shore and began warning surfers to get out of the water. But once he was alerted to the attack, he headed back in.
Still, it wasn't until he and Pringle got Smithers to the beach that he noticed how extensive the surfer's wounds really were. Officials there noted that someone had tied the surfboard leash around the bitten man's legs to act as a tourniquet and staunch blood flow.
"He had a big piece of flesh about the size of my hand hanging outside his left thigh," Kannemeyer said, describing the young man's wounds. "And then his right knee on the inside has been punctured. It looked awful."
An ambulance soon arrived. Shortly afterward, Smithers was airlifted from Muizenberg Beach to Vincent Pallotti Hospital in Pinelands for treatment.
Shark expert Greg Oelofse told Eye Witness News that Matthew Smithers was lucky to be alive. "With that size animal and the force is would apply to a bite," he said, "he got away with very minor injuries considering what could have happened."
Oelofse, who is head of environmental policy and strategy for the City of Cape Town, confirmed that the Great White was massive, estimated to be at least 3.8 meters long. He also noted that the attack was quite rare, considering that Great White shark attacks were not common during the winter months.
"All I remember is the impact," Matthew Smithers told Independent Online the next day. He said he remembers afterward, being towed in to shore and thinking that he hoped he wasn't attacked a second time. He recalled trying to remain calm and feeling strangely relaxed, noticing that he could still feel his feet and toes.
The surfer later found out from doctors there was no damage to his leg bones, either.
And when asked if he would venture back out into the water after his ordeal, the young man replied, "Most definitely I'll be back, as soon as I'm ready to go."
