blogquotes version b02.1
Note that if you were previously using google to login this should just work albeit with a slightly different UI. And if you find other methods to be more preferable they should also "just work" provided that you use the same email address for those services. Note the logout button at the top of the page which will tell you what email or ID you've logged in with. So for example if I login with facebook all my old quotes are there, but if I login with blogger which doesn't use the same email address I get nothing and am essentially starting fresh.
- enhancement : support for Facebook, Google, Windows Live ID (includes hotmail), Blogger, Wordpress and LiveJournal logins (have yet to validate Wordpress + LiveJournal)
- bugfix : javascript remote inclusion could still barf on some unicode, added clientside utf-8 handling
In the background I've also made a number of restructuring changes to the code which should help me release changes faster.
Please leave comments on this post if you are having trouble getting access or for some reason can't see the quotes you've already entered. (no data has been deleted!)

Where do I find the link to enable me to edit older quotes?ReplyDelete
I looked at my Java source code, but there are no quotes listed inside the code.
My site is billbotex.blogspot.com
Login here to access/edit your old quotes. I changed the login recently to be based on other services to avoid having to define yet another password, but to work you need to login using a service linked to the same email address you used when first accessing blogquotes. Let me know if you can't login.ReplyDelete
Oops..."here" being http://blogquotes.appspot.com/ReplyDelete
First of all, thanks a lot for your service :)
I've been using blogquotes on my blog succesfully for over 2 years now. I really enjoy the quotes :)
I'm writing for some free support, if possible :)
I can login with the new system but I don't see my old quotes. I'm pretty sure I use the same email adress to login, being firstname.lastname@example.com
Can you find my old account with plenty of quotes? I'm sure it is still there as the quotes still appear on my blog. Is there a way I could acces this account with your new login system?
I am having the same problem as Marc, but I also agree with him in thanking you for your service!ReplyDelete
In addition to Marc's problem of not seeing all the old quotes I have entered in the past, an additional problem on my blog seems to be that the quotes that come up on reloading, seems to be limited to only the last (most recent) 4 or 5 quotes that I entered. It seems not to choose the older VISIBLE quotes at the new Quote Manager location, and of course does not see the older quotes, which I hope are not lost. Is there an update process that I have to apply to your application on my blog?
Thanks for the help!
Hello, we are using your random quote since 2010 in different blogs and we are very glad with this app. Is it possible in future versions to include a small picture of the author of the quote as an optional field in the quote managment? Thanks a lot www.carnivorosanonimos.comReplyDelete

Why Growing A Dedicated Community Before You Launch Is So Important – With Kevin Hale of Wufoo
by Tim Jahn on November 2, 2010
Podcast: Play in new window | Download
When Kevin Hale and his co-founders Chris and Ryan launched their site Wufoo.com, they had a dedicated community of 30,000 people paying attention.
The day that Wufoo exclusively launched on TechCrunch, Wufoo's servers crashed. And the negative comments about Wufoo started piling up on the TechCrunch article. But that dedicated community that Kevin, Chris, and Ryan had grown previously chimed in to the comments and defended the Wufoo team, without them even being asked to do so.
Watch my interview above with Kevin to learn how Wufoo built their community before launch and why Kevin thinks that's so important.
Kevin Hale:
My name is Kevin Hale. I am one of the co-founders of Infinity Box Inc. We built and developed a web service called Wufoo. It's an online HTML form builder. It helps people create online surveys, contact forms, power event registration, and power simple online payments.
And we've been doing this for about four years now with my two other co-founders Chris and Ryan. And based in Tampa, Florida and we're doing really, really well, profitable and growing.
Tim Jahn:
And how did you meet your two co-founders?
Kevin Hale:
Well Chris and Ryan, they're brothers. And I met Chris while working at a research university, we were part of the research arm, building little database applications and I was also doing some writing covering research there at the university and also helping with some web design.
Tim Jahn:
Awesome and then how did you guys come about with getting together in terms of business? Where did the idea come from and how did you guys collaborate?
Kevin Hale:
Well we had known each other for about two years before we decided to go and do this. Chris is like your standard entrepreneur type, like he, like all of his life grown, grown up mowing people's lawn, doing car washes, doing everything he can to make money.
Like his dream was always to run a business and he was always trying out different ideas. And Ryan was a programmer; he was finishing up his CS degree, his Information Technologist degree and let me think here.
Basically Chris and I got really, really frustrated while working at the university with all of the departments and lots of different groups of people asking us to build these simple data base apps. And we always would think, wow it would be really great if we could sort have people do this themselves.
And our idea at the time was to build like a content manager that allowed you to, not just have a back end, but out, a line have a front end that also collects data, so you can you know switch it around.
It wasn't until we applied for Y Combinator and we talked, sat down with Paul Graham and other people there that they came up the idea that you should just go after the sort of the form builder market rather than content manager market which was less crowded at the time. So that's how we came to be.
Tim Jahn:
And so you basically built the, you built your company out of frustration forth with an actual need which I find is usually the best way.
Kevin Hale:
Yeah, we had an idea, but we didn't actually start building or writing any code until we, after we got accepted into YCombinator actually. So we were still working on, for our jobs, we were doing stuff on the side. We had actually even tried, we had first started writing a blog called Particle Tree and we had been writing articles for that, just sharing everything that we're learning and doing research about.
And then eventually we decided we'd do a magazine to sort of sell some copies of that and use that to sort of fuel Ryan and I quitting our jobs allowed us you know take time off, start working on some kind of software eventually. And at that early stage when we're boot strapping, Chris was actually keeping his job at the university and splitting his pay check with all three of us at the time.
Yeah, that, so that was like really tight and we had done that for about two months and then we heard about YCombinator, got accepted into that program. Chris then finally quit his job and then that's when we started writing and building out Wufoo.
Tim Jahn:
Well tell me more about this blog. Why — you guys started this blog to —
Kevin Hale:
Yeah, we went to South by Southwest, I think that was in 2005 and we heard Jason Fried speak, How to do Big Things with Small Teams. And one of the things he talked about was building an audience first. And we just took straight from that playbook. We're like sounds good. We wrote this blog called Particle Tree. And at the time when we launched Wufoo, we had about 30,000 people subscribe to the blog at the time, so we had this very nice audience of people when we launched into beta where we can say, "hey you've known and been reading stuff and research for a long time. We've established a relationship with you and we know you guys sort of trust the stuff that we work on. Definitely check this out."
And you know it was a lot more engagement from that kind of audience that just to start you know do a cold launch and do something from secret and no one knew what we were doing and stuff like that, so. That was one of the huge booms for us in terms of giving us a lot of benefiting by a lot of different users in the early you know launch phase.
Tim Jahn:
How did you get 30,000 subscribers in 2005 to a blog?
Kevin Hale:
We wrote really good articles and we wrote all the time. I mean that's all we would do in our spare time is we would come up with different ideas and experiments, we'd test them out, and then we'd write you know these really in depth articles and share out every piece of code that we had.
It was just all, you know through what would you call it, you know I would say it's audience by generosity. So it just really, really worked out for us you know.
I had a publishing and writing background so I knew we could write these in a certain way that would make it, even a non-technical person for the most part could understand them, but we covered a whole wide range of topics. So we covered everything from, everything we're learning about business in economics to programming aspects to design aspects, so covered all this you know three prong approach and each one of us would write about each one of those topics.
And you know as it developed over time a lot of people you know, word of mouth told each other and — you know this was in the early days, this was before like Twitter or anything. I think mostly, the big things that were popular at the time was mostly like Delicious and this was when Slash Out was still big, so.
Tim Jahn:
So you, you had a built in audience and going into Wufoo in terms of you had this whole audience to introduce your new product to and hopefully convert to customers.
Kevin Hale:
Oh yeah, yeah. Well I mean we had a large audience to try us out and you know do the beta testing and play with that stuff. One interesting thing though about those beta testers is that they don't end up being a really good determiner of who your final paying customers are going to be.
They're really good for like trying out your software and signing up and creating buzz for it, but they're not so good in terms of being the ones who are going to eventually pay for the software. So I think our conversion rate was like .005 percent of beta testers converted to paying customers and this is when we, at the time of launch we offered them like a 50% discount for the lifetime of the product on any plan that they wanted.
So that's something that I try to tell people about, you know sort of doing beta testing in extended you know beta groups, like don't think, don't do pricing surveys with those groups of people who are beta testing your product in the early stages because those won't ultimately be you know your final paying audience. We checked the demographics of it and really our users now, they're really less text savvy, right?
They're not early adopters. They're, a lot of people you know who have challenges on their teams dealing with other IT people and they use us as an alternative to get away from that. And so those people aren't the ones reading like tech cards or reading you know the latest development blogs. These are people who are looking for solutions, so we would've never found them for like a beta testing process, so.
Tim Jahn:
How important do you think it was to have that built in audience generated by that blog for your initial kind of launch and your initial segway?
Kevin Hale:
Oh, it was huge. Here's one good story to exemplify that. So we had the beta testing, we had about 5,000 people who signed up for beta testing at the time. and when we launched on Tech Crunch we did an exclusive launch with them, our servers crashed on that first day, we just had some mis-configuration with the servers.
And so they got swamped and what end up happening is you know Tech Crunch wrote a really nice review of us at that time, but then in the comments they were like, oh I guess they can't scale or whatever. And it was pretty negative right at, you know the beginning.
But a couple other people who had been reading Particle Tree and people who had been beta testing, they chimed into the comments like right away, we couldn't have even you know been there at the time when they realized because we're dealing with the servers. And they're writing, "you know these guys, they do really great work, you know I've been working with them or I've been reading their stuff for a long time, they're really smart guys, they know what they're doing, this is just a hiccup like you got to give them you know benefit of the doubt on this."
And you just know, that whole discussion changed right there in the comments and that's not something we could have done without establishing a reputation you know with some of our past actions.
Tim Jahn:
So you mentioned that one of your co-founders is kind of the stereotypical entrepreneur, they've been trying to make money from everything that they could in their past. What about yourself? Are you not of that type and you somehow got involved in wanting to create a company? How did you get into this?
Kevin Hale:
I would have no, I was never interested in starting a company. Through college, my background in college was a fine arts degree in something called digital arts which is combination of computer science, art, and music. I was mostly just mobile arts into a disciplinary degree to where I worked inside museums and did interactive rooms and sensors and did video editing and technologies and stuff, so I was interested in art work that engaged the audience.
And then I also had another major in modern American literature. So my focus was on like story telling and designing and my plans at the time when I was working with Chris was I was taking my year off before going to graduate school and I was going to get like my MFA and teach art to hippies. Like that was my goal in life. And so at the time something delayed me from going you know off to graduate school, I had to stay another year working and so that resulted me being like okay, since I you know don't have something going on right and I have a lot of energy and I want to work on a project, you know let's do something.
And since the three of us like had the skills that you know complement each other really well, we had this idea about you know we had saw as a problem at work and we thought okay maybe we can make this happen.
So yeah, no this was, this was an interesting tangent for me, but I just really enjoyed a lot. Like in college I used to think that, you know web design or web art or internet art at the time was like the most boring and one interesting art forms that there could be. I was really not excited about it because I was like it was almost impossible to get somebody to go into a museum and look at like a computer screen and feel like emotion towards it. And so I was always frustrated by that.
But when we built the software you know Wufoo had this opportunity to approach it from a completely different angle and this is why, you know so the copy's very different and the design is very different and there's all this sort of interesting aspect to the software. And we try to make it so that it had a personality, right? It didn't remind that they worked inside of a cubicle.
And I've noticed that the changes that you can make in a web application as a designer, you get this immediate feedback, right? Because we have, you know hundred of thousands of users on the system. and so when I make one change or I change colors or I change copy or text, I immediately see that feedback come in through support or this is nice feedback we've brought.
It's a greater engagement from those kind of users than I ever had while working at you know in museums in college, so I always found that to be really exciting and that's been a really nice surprise for me while doing business.
Tim Jahn:
I'm curious, I think it's really cool how you guys started off, or you used that idea of generating a blog to become known in the industry and then generate an audience which is, now days I think a pretty common technique, but in 2005 I don't think it was as much. How did that translate into later on in the business, like today, do you still have that same community from Particle Tree surrounding your product?
Kevin Hale:
We haven't — Wufoo takes all of our attention right now and any innovation that we have we usually throw it into our product or service. The key thing I think that we learned from Particle Tree is that the importance of a publication schedule, right?
So like, if you have a consistent release of something that you create, so whether that's blog posts or software features, right, that is what helps create a growing audience because what they see is momentum, right? And so the discipline of always understanding that you have to get something shipped out there — like you can write lots of things in rough draft, but until you get something into its final form and pushed out there, like that idea or whatever isn't in its final form.
And so for us when we create a feature or new software in Wufoo, we know that just because we pushed it, we commit it to the code, and it's up on the servers, and people can click on it doesn't mean that that's done, it's not published yet. So we have this extensive publishing cycle that goes on with every new feature that gets done.
So one is like documentation has to be written before it can be released, we have the blog post, we have the Twitter, we have you know Facebook, so that's the standard stuff. But then we also have like Enapp, notification inside the system, a newsletter, like there's lots of stuff that has to be talked about and then there has to be some marketing materials. Like there's a whole range of process that has to happen in order to get some to understand, hey there is a new feature, right?
And that understanding of the communication cycle of features that has to be part of the development cycle, I think that's what helps us continue to generate momentum within our own users and audience, right. Because if we're just building new features and no one knows about them and they're not using them, you're wasting resources, you're wasting opportunity, and you're wasting sort of this, this knowledge gap that people don't realize, like hey there are benefits being developed constantly.
So I think one of the things that people sort of love about our app is they come in, they can log in, they can see "since you've been gone" you know these are the new features that have been developed. And since we have that sort of set up people are like wow I'm always impressed, I'm always excited that you know this is a live application that's not sort of you know people are sitting on their morals, you know attracting money from that. So I think that has always been a huge help for us.
Also how we deal with the community, like in Particle Tree it was always nice to interact with the people via the comments and stuff about you know we'd write an article and people would help us with their suggestions and stuff. And interacting with them at that point, and trying to be really good about those interactions translate you know into what creates really great customer support inside of the app, so. I think there's definitely lots of parallels. You'll see if you look on the Wufoo blog it's way more active that the Particle Tree is, but that's just because where our attention are focused.
Tim Jahn:
What's the biggest challenge in maintaining that kind of momentum?
Kevin Hale:
Well keeping things polished, like I said getting things published, like, also it contributes to employee satisfaction, right? So employees like work on features, I think, I think there was study in the Harvard Business Review and they talked about one of the leading indicators of whether an employee is like satisfied with their job is whether they feel like they're contributing you know to the success of their environment or their community or you know their work place.
And so you know if we have employees who develop really cool features for us and they create it, but then our users aren't using them or they don't know about them, then you know things fall apart. They're not as excited about building the next thing out there.
So you know we have a lot of process in place that we try to focus on hoping employees understand like this is how you get a feature pushed out, you know to an audience or pushed out into a product, you know, it doesn't just start out as like developing the code and writing it out and committing it out there and thinking that's going to be enough.
Like it has to go all the way through to you know getting the focus information out there. I think the other thing is the writing aspects of it were really, really important. like even now we've always stressed at the beginning you now getting everyone on board in terms of improving their writing skills, so either writing the documentation or writing you know blog host announcing the new features.
We spent a lot of time on our copy, we're very, very careful about it and I think every word on the website we try to craft it in a way that it sort of focuses on both on the benefits, the emotional aspects of it, of the utility, simplicity, usability, like there's all these sort of things that go into play in terms of how you write on to the web.
And you have to be efficient with the words that you use, otherwise people like sort of lose out on the, with their attention span. So I think that whole writing cycle and pulling it inside of the software cycle, there's lots of really easy parallels that work really well for that.

Patterson Making Most of Summer
LUBBOCK, Texas -- Highly-touted junior college player Jackie Patterson has a new home.
The star forward that helped lead Hutchinson Community College to the National Junior College Championship game is feeling comfortable as ever after a month in Lubbock around her new teammates, coaches and workout routine.
"It's been good, especially now that it's been a few weeks," Patterson said. "It took a little time to get used to the weights and conditioning and all the workouts but it's been good overall."
Patterson is one of five newcomers on the Lady Raiders roster, rejoining AAU teammates Minta Spears and Kellyn Schneider in the 2012 class along with Ivonne Cook-Taylor and Shunta Nevitt. The newcomers have all been enrolled at Texas Tech since the first summer session began and are getting plenty of time to get to know one another.
"We've all been spending a lot of time together," she said. "Everybody does their shooting drills together, we lift together, we study together - everything is together. It just really helps you build as a team."
The 2011-12 NJCAA All-American averaged 12.3 points, 7.8 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game last season and was a two-time NJCAA Player of the Week, NJCAA National All-Tournament Team member while leading the Blue Dragons to a perfect 36-0 record before falling in the national title game.
Patterson said she gives a lot of credit to Hutchinson head coach John Ontjes in helping her develop the tools necessary to get to the Big 12 Conference finally, a level she knew she was not ready for immediately out of high school.
"At Hutch, coach Ontjes really put everything into me," she said. "He taught me things that I didn't know in high school. How to move toward the basket better and things like that. He really helped me raise my level of play by going JUCO. He helped me a lot."
After two seasons, she says she is now ready for the Division I level but knows this is an important summer to continue to get stronger and work on every part of her game, including developing more of an outside shot to help complement her already strong play in the paint. She also said she more excited than ever to finally have the chance to play for head coach Kristy Curry and her staff.
"Coach Curry recruited me out of high school but she wasn't sure if I was ready to come to the Big 12 right away," Patterson recalled. "So when she called and (assistant coach Shereka Wright) called, I remembered them. They were telling me that they were offering me a spot. And I really didn't know if it would be Tech, but it was something about coach Curry. She has that mom-type feeling when you are with her and I just knew after that time with her that Texas Tech is where I wanted to be."

Any learned suggestions for a good quality ankle holster for a Beretta 21A?
Thanks in advance,

Any learned suggestions for a good quality ankle holster for a Beretta 21A?
Thanks in advance,
I have had good use out of the Uncle Mikes Nylon ankle holsters.
Seems like my choices may be limited.
Thanks for the lead,
Get the best - Kramer.
Kramer Handgun Leather: Revolver holsters, concealment holsters, paddle holster, 1911 holster, ankle holster
I can tell you from personal experience that their ankle rig is a keeper. With a gun the size and weight of the Bobcat, you should have no problem with slip-down and the sheepskin lining makes it blissfully comfortable to wear.
The holster does seem overpriced until you've been wearing it for a while, after which I think you'll agree that $230.00 is well worth it. But, then again, frequenting forums like this has left me doubting whether anything at all is not relative in the gun world, so don't blame me if you buy it and think it's the worst holster ever. I find it hard to believe you will, though.
Mitch Rosen also makes an ankle rig, though I don't have one and, to my recollection, have never read a review of it.
Is there a reason that you're limited to an ankle holster?
My apologies in advance for not answering your question, but could a pocket holster be an option? More secure, much easier access, and no long pants required.
There is.
With a duty belt already full of everything but the kitchen sink, the ankle is about all that's left open. Besides, if I draw this thing out, it means my primary duty gun is either getting stripped or has already been taken so all bets are off. Getting my hands on my ankle in a fight might be easier than trying to pull a gun out of a pocket while I'm rolling on the ground. I also picked the bobcat because it will contact shoot without going out of battery like a Glock or 1911 style of gun will.
And, finally I'm too old for shorts in public....
I should have added that I'm also getting a pocket holster for just my time off stuff. Ankle is for duty carry.
Many moons ago, I was considering ankle carry... I have no idea why, since the only handgun I had was a 1911 and I don't wear bell-bottoms. Research then indicated that Ken Null's ankle rig was highly thought of.

The 21s can be surprisingly accurate, too.

Black Samsung Galaxy S III gets fondled out and about, T-Mobile says it won't launch it
Here it is, ladies and gentlemen. The elusive black version of Samsung's Galaxy S III. After a few leaks here and there over the past few days, it was finally caught in the wild – and, naturally, photographed.
The person who has this phone on him says that the original back cover sports T-Mobile's logo. That's strange because T-Mobile got in touch with TechnoBuffalo and said that it doesn't plan on releasing the black Galaxy S III. Despite the fact that we've seen a black GS III on TMo's website just yesterday.
The source of this leak also said he at one point had a Sprint-branded black Galaxy S III as well, so maybe that's the carrier you should be paying attention to in case black is your favorite color.
Anyway, a black Galaxy S III is definitely in the works, even if the magenta carrier won't sell it after all. In the UK, it could arrive as early as next month. Maybe Samsung will announce it at the end of August together with its new Galaxy Note.

The Village Antiques & Collectibles Show is Aug. 24-25, 2013 at Park Circle in North Charleston. The city of North Charleston sponsors these great shows and their website www.northcharleston.org has all the information. Parking is free. The hours are 10am-5pm both Saturday and Sunday.
This is now the only regularly scheduled antique show in the Lowcountry. Most of the antique dealers have quality antiques that are beautiful, practical and affordable. This show promises to have a lot of things that are "new to the market". Some of the best antique dealers you can expect to be there are Peggy Smith, Rochelle Conley, Cindy Mizzell, and John Brown and Melissa Henley.
The weather promises to be great and most antique shoppers are anxious to get out and find something to add to their collection or match what they have. Most of the dealers spend a lot of time finding just the right antiques, the most popular and trendy things.
There really is something for everyone. There is a lot of retro and nostalgic things as well as some of the very old traditional antiques. The shows are held about every two months. People should follow their website and mark their calendars to keep up with them. The city of North Charleston deserves a lot of credit for encouraging these antique shows. They sponsor them and advertise them. No other city or town does as much for the antiques community.

US Names Islamic Jihad Member as Terrorist
The U.S. State Department said Thursday it named Ziyad al-Nakhalah, deputy secretary general of Palestinian Islamic Jihad, as a terrorist.
The State Department listed Palestinian Islamic Jihad as a foreign terror organization in 1997. The group's stated goal is the destruction of Israel, and it has carried out numerous attacks, including suicide bombings against military and civilian targets. It receives financing and training from Iran, the department said.
Mr. al-Nakhalah repeatedly has taken credit for attacks against Israel, the State Department said in a statement, and said he's cultivated relationships with the Iranian government. In 2012, he stressed improving relations with Hamas, and in October of that year the two groups joined forces to carry out attacks against Israel.
By naming Mr. al-Nakhalah as a terrorist, the U.S. froze his assets and barred Americans from transacting with him.

Apple: Why Free Software Makes Perfect Mathematical Sense
Apple is sacrificing a tiny bit of profit for a whole lot of competitive advantage.
No, Apple's big news was that it was cutting the price of a good deal of its software to zero.
Going forward, operating system updates, including the upcoming OS X Mavericks from Apple, will be completely free, as will the company's iLife and iWork suites.
As you'll learn, Apple is giving away a tiny bit of dough for a whole lot of strategic advantage going forward -- if you can think long-term.
Apple's Tiny, Meaningless Sacrifice
Let's take a look at Apple's revenue breakdown from the June quarter:
As you can see, the iTunes/Software/Services segment accounted for 11.3% of revenues.
But let's look at what's in that category. Apple notes that it includes the following: revenue from sales on the iTunes Store, the App Store, the Mac App Store, and the iBookstore, and revenue from sales of AppleCare, licensing, and other services.
And in fact, in its most recent 10-Q, Apple noted that for the first three quarters of the 2013 fiscal year, 58% of segment revenues came from iTunes. That leaves 42% of the segment (or 4.7% of total revenues) to divide between AppleCare, licensing, and software, including OS X, Final Cut, iWork, iLife, and Aperture.
So what is Apple giving up here?
Not much -- maybe 2% of revenues at the most.
And What Is It Gaining?
Apple issuing free software is about one thing and one thing only: winning a long-term platform war against the Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) Windows and Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) Android/Chrome ecosystems.
Back in 2010, I discussed why supposed iPhone killers should focus on targeting iTunes, which served as the glue of the Apple world:
Apple clearly emphasized inter-device software compatibility at the iPad event.
iTunes has evolved from a piece of music-management software into something that 1) manages all your media, contacts, and appointments and 2) activates, syncs, and backs up the iPhone/iPad.
In other words, iTunes is now the personal operating system for millions of people, giving them a good reason to stay within the Apple ecosystem. When you buy a new Apple gadget, you plug it into your computer, and voila -- iTunes updates everything and you're ready to go, no thinking or effort required.
It's the most comprehensive piece of plug-and-play software on the market, blowing away the likes of Microsoft's Zune ecosystem and BlackBerry (NASDAQ:BBRY) Desktop software.
So the theme here is simple -- iTunes is the glue holding Apple together, and the piece of the puzzle competitors need to focus on if they want to hurt Apple.
No Apple product is an island, because each one cleanly ties together as part of an overall strategy -- get the people inside the house, and slam the door behind 'em.
For example, you can start producing a song in GarageBand on the iPhone, then seamlessly finish it up on a Mac or iPad.
Now let's talk about consistency across platforms. Microsoft is running tablets with two different operating systems, and there are even more versions of Android in the wild.
Meanwhile, as it stands now, two-thirds of eligible Apple mobile devices are running iOS 7.
Because Apple exercises total control over its hardware and software, and iOS 7 is free.
And making OS X updates free means the same will be true for Mac users.

Apparently, some advertising organization is behind turning Madison and 50th into the Hollywood Boulevard of NY, only in this case, names of famous advertising characters will be immortalized in the sidewalk.
The title of this shenanigans? The Advertising Walk of Fame. If you want to find out more -- and perhaps vote for characters like Mr. Clean, the Energizer Bunny, and Charlie Tuna -- visit advertisingweeknyc.com... Read more about this on adweek.com, too. If you care.
was the maytag man and madge the manicurist not good enough to get stars? Only animated adcharacters to vote for... *pout*
Where's the poll? I couldn't find it on the site. :/
A walk of fame for advertising professionals? How utterly arrogant. What makes an advertising employee anymore famous than say, a guy who works the line making widgets?
Sure David Ogilvy is famous in the world of advertising and to us creatives, but to anyone outside the field, he's unknown.
I think a public event that would be more popular would be to vote for your most hated spots. Than have a meet and throw rotton veggies at the people who made the ad.
I mean, not only do you get to see the faces behind the dreded machine called advertising, but you can egg them too. I'd go.
Oh goody! That means the "Infomercial Walk of Fame" isn't too far behind! I plan on voting for the Flow-Bee!

Stock Upgrades: Chipotle Mexican Grill Flavor of the Month for Cinco de Mayo
Justin Sharon
Wall Street ratings agencies set the tone for today's stock market.
Just in time for
today's Hallmark holiday
Chipotle Mexican Grill
(NYSE:CMG) gets a broker boost. This notoriously volatile stock has managed to return a tidy 37.40% over the past 12 months, having hit an historic high on March 21. Chipotle recently revealed a series of price hikes for its core offerings.
Talk about a May-December romance. Investors renewed their infatuation with equities as the year entered its fifth month, with
Dow Industrials
(INDEXDJX:.DJI) reaching a record after being inspired by a quartet of grizzled veterans. The love was literal for 83-year-old
News Corp
(NASDAQ:NWSA) owner Rupert Murdoch, who
bought a bodice ripper for big bucks
. (Expect
50 Shades of Grey Hai
r to be published promptly.) Meanwhile,
(NASDAQ:VIAB) Sumner Redstone, 90 years young, also
splashed some serious cash across the Atlantic
. This as
Berkshire Hathaway's
(NYSE:BRK.B) Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger -- oddly also aged a respective 83 and 90 --
held court in Omaha
. Lexington native George Clooney, that incurable romantic, didn't wait for this weekend's run for the roses to
sweep an English rose off her feet
in his old Kentucky home. He will need to get used to the fact that what we call "math" the Brits know as "maths." Either way, financial firms on each side of the pond are lousy at it. The United Kingdom's Co-op Group is a banking behemoth, but its grocery arm clearly has
terrible trouble with arithmetic
. As, indeed, does
Bank of America
(NYSE:BAC), whose
sums were off by several billion bucks
Today in economics, April's Institute for Supply Management services index is expected to inch up at 10:00 a.m. EDT. On the earnings front,
American International Group
Sysco Corp
(NYSE:SYY), and
Tyson Foods
(NYSE:TSN) are all due to release results.
Now let's analyze this morning's upgrades, a group that encompasses not only our aforementioned Chipotle Mexican Grill but also a tech titan that scores its second upgrade in two trading sessions.
Ariad Pharmceuticals
(NASDAQ:ARIA): Jefferies juices its recommendation to Buy from Hold.
BB&T Corp
(NYSE:BBT): BBT gets an Outperform-from-Neutral boost at Credit Suisse. The price target is also taken up, to $46.50 from $43.

WWE says Cena was a $106 million retail brand in 2010
— Michele Steele (@MicheleSteele) January 10, 2012
Thanks to Wrestling News World reader Dave for sending this in.
And THAT is why Cena will not turn heel. Richard, you should just post this tweet every time someone asks you about a possible Cena heel turn.
That may be why he is untouchable, but all these children that have come to love Cena are eventually going to get older. And once that happens, they will see how stale he is. And due to having no ongoing development in his character, there are not going to be slews of new child fans to replace them when that time comes.
Thats a load of BS, the kids who love John Cena now will always love John Cena, just like how myself and most others will always love the Rock
The Rock was not wasted during his time! No matter what they gave him, he made it work. Cena is plain boring with nothing new ever. The Rocked turned several times, yet remained a star in the eyes of fans and management both. Cena is the same stale charater he was 3 years ago. And kids do grow up, and they WILL get bored with it. Unless a change is made.
And oh, there weren't "Rocky sucks vs Rocky rules" chants in his days. The Rock was a once in a lifetime star unlike Cena.
And i am not saying Cena isnt something special for wwe, it is just that he is a simple superman type character, whereas The Rock was able to be beat.
That's so true. You grow up and no matter if your favorite wrestler is babyface or heel u will always cheer him on….
Yup this is so true
Those children who love Cena will get older, yes, but new fans will come along. I disagree with you saying "there are not going to be slews of new child fans to replace them", considering a notable portion of his current fanbase don't look old enough to have been born when he won his first WWE Championship.
It will be several years before those kids grow out of him, but what exactly will the current 3-5 year olds see in him in 4 years? The kids who like him now probably started loving him right at the same time we were beginning to get annoyed with it. There was still somethibg to see in him. But now, it is the same storyline, different heel.
I'm not talking about the current 3-5 year olds necessarily. What about the kids who have just been born? What about the kids whose parents haven't even met yet?
One of my best friends is 24 years old. He was big into wrestling during the Attitude Era, but stopped watching it years ago. He heard that The Rock had come back, so he checked it out. He's now a huge, passionate WWE fan once again. He admits that if he'd been watching throughout Cena's entire career, like my brother and I, he'd probably be sick of the man too. But as stale as Cena is, he's still new to my 24 year old friend, so Cena is one of his favourites (number 3 behind Ziggler and Rhodes – he's not a total lost cause!). My point is, if a man in his mid-20s can get into WWE and be interested in the same old Cena character we've long been sick of, children who aren't even around yet will potentially do the same thing in five or six years' time. That's a dreadful prospect, but it just goes to show that fans getting older won't necessarily harm merchandise sales in any way.
so you're saying that he'll suddenly go to $0 if he turns heel? lol, ok.
I just watched WM XX Cena Vs Big Show and the crowd was Cheering Cena, then I watched WM 22 Cena Vs HHH, and There was a limited amount of Cena Vs Cena Sucks chants, granted these chants are now about 50/50 but after watching how long these have been going on, I agree with WWE keep Cena Face for at least a few more years if theres money to be made people who love cena will buy his merch, IMO people who hate cena wont.
Seems legit
Because if you turn him it will hurt his merchandise sales? Didn't hurt the nWo too much.
Supposing that figure is accurate, and not WWE attempting to elevate the marketability of their superstars, we should consider that it is from 2010. Undoubtedly, many things changed throughout 2011 in the WWE. For example, CM Punk obtained a greater degree of prominence, which led to a significant increase in Punk's merchandise sales. I haven't seen the numbers, so this is speculative, but we could assume that this impacted Cena's 2011 sales, and thus his sales dominance in 2010 might not reflect the current figures of 2011 or 2012.
If it ain't broke why Fix it.
But it is broke.
Not to me he's not…………………Plus He is making money for WWE and to Vince that is all that matters.
That is the whole problem with Vince and WWE…He's lost sight of true reason for what kind of business his company really is !!!
That doesn't even include the ticket sales and ad revenue that can be attributed to him
He is stale,he is boring but he is the face of the company and draws more attention than any other superstars. If you don't like cena, don't watch wwe because the wwe is John cena. Forget about this stupid obsession with punk as he will never be as entertaining as cena once was.
…and yet, the amount of people who have stopped watching the WWE and stopped buying any type of merchandise or products because of John Cena is not calculated into this figure.
Also, if he does turn heel, the people that love John Cena now will blindly follow whoever the WWE decides to shove down their throats, just like they did with Cena before.
I just visited Hamles toy shop in London. We all know it's where the kids can visit all their dreams.
On the wwe section it was near enough full to the shelf of merchandise. Wwe belts and action figures. You know the only superstar that was being sold……John Cena.
This tells me that everybody sold out which i doubt, or that he is the only one on offer. This is not the first time I have seen this in toy shops in the UK. He is forced upon the children here as an action here like all your favourite marvel and dc heroes.
And please nobody correct me on grammar.I'm 23, on my iPhone and travelling in a vehicle.
Im from Ireland my little brothers favourite is John Cena its nearly impossible to get him as he is nearly always gone and that is in just about every shop I go to.
I bet if brock lesnar came back everyone would forget about johns lame ass .. And I much prefer to watch cm punk anyday over john
lmao How do you feel now?

New Sturgeon Spawning Reef in the Lower James
Strategically placing a few tons of rock in the river today could mean more Atlantic sturgeon in the James River in the future. The James River Association and Virginia Commonwealth University have constructed the first artificial sturgeon spawning reef in the Chesapeake Bay watershed and the entire East Coast.
Luck Stone Corporation generously donated 2,500 yards of rock, which they barged and placed at the designated location near the mouth of the Turkey Island Cut, a shipping channel that separates Presquile NWR from the south bank of the James River near Hopewell. The artificial reef, which measures 330 feet long, 70 feet wide and 2 feet high was funded by a $50,000 grant from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation.
The construction of the stone reef marks a milestone in a scientific partnership that has involved years of tracking and studying the James River's small, but genetically distinct, population of Atlantic sturgeon.
The sturgeon population was all but wiped out by overfishing in the late 1800s. Many other factors have prevented its numbers from rebounding. These factors include increased silting from dredging and stormwater runoff that reduced the areas of hard rocky bottom required for successful spawning, pollution, and the death of mature adult sturgeon due to by-catch and vessel strikes. The newly constructed reef serves as an experiment to bring back a once prominent native species to the James River.
The reef placement was determined by years of tracking adult sturgeon in the James River, studies of optimum spawning conditions, water movement and oxygen content. Atlantic sturgeon and other anadromous fish that return to the James to spawn will benefit from this clean, rocky river bottom. The reef will be periodically monitored for the presence of eggs. Because young sturgeon typically remain in the vicinity of their birth for the first 1 to 3 years of life, it will be easier to evaluate the new reef's success. Waiting will be the hardest part!

TC TO MARGARET A. CARLYLE ; 28 July 1852; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18520728-TC-MAC-01; CL 27: 191-192
Linlathen, 28 july, 1852
My dear Mother,
Along with the Newspapers, I will send you a word of writing, to keep your good heart in peace, and prevent sinister imaginations about me. I got John's second Note this morning;1 and bid you give him many thanks from me for both of them: he sends me good accounts of you and of Scotsbrig generally;—and I hope it will not be long till I hear the like from him again.
I am beautifully lodged here: a great large house with few people in it; they have given me a big bedroom (directly over Mr Erskine's sitting-room, which John of course recollects); it looks towards the northwest, out upon the grass and trees, here I sit all forenoon in great privacy over my Books; here I sleep all night with open window: it is one of the most silent, fresh and eligible places I have ever lodged in. The weather also is really quite excellent: the heat of it is never in the least oppressive here, one can run out under the shade of thick trees with any book one is reading, and there is always some breath of air astir. No better weather could be wished; and indeed it seems to have all along been good, and to be doing the work of good weather: for there is such a crop as I have seldom seen (such wheat far surpasses what they shew in the South, as far as I have noticed), and it is rapidly coming towards ripeness, in another fortnight all will be white. The only drawback, in this matter of crop, is that the Potatoe-disease has again decidedly made its appearance, they say, in a very vigorous form; so what is to become of that unfortunate root must be considered quite uncertain again.— — If to all this we add the unaffected kindness of my good hosts, you will understand that in point of being "lodged" there are few of her Majesty's subjects so well off as I! I have nevertheless had a great tumult of biliary confusions ever since I landed,—the voyage, quiet as it was, having tumbled me quite topsy-turvy;—but I am slowly, every day, getting a little cleared into composure out of all that, and doubtless so soon as I am out of it, I shall feel improved by these biliary revolutions. I have bathed twice in the Sea water, which was very excellent both times, but does not quite suit my hours,—for one is a little dependent on the state of the tide here, and when that is very low, there is but a stony confused receptacle offered to the adventurous bather, which I did not think of venturing into. Thomas E. takes me down, however, almost daily to the cool seabeach, and then walks me on the hard damp sand (for which I have gutta-percha), amid incessant talking, almost farther than my present biliary condition will comport.— We are happily very quiet, hardly more than 3 in number since the day after I came; whh is greatly to my mind: but there are others coming tomorrow, again others; one cannot hope to have the gang always to oneself! I shall do my ten days, there is good likelihood, with comfortable success.—Yesterday I had a letter from Jane; who professes to be well, but is getting little sleep, poor thing. She is going into the country in the end of this week (to see poor Mrs Macready who is hopelessly ill): that will be slight interval to the noise.— Blessings on you Dear Mother. Love to all. Yours ever T. C.
Writing, especially at this low table, always give me a headache; so I cease, and carry my Bout2 out under the shadow of a big tree,—where I have tobacco too!

Arizona Broadway Theatre is closing the 2009-10 season with two superb productions of the musical I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change by Joe DiPietro and Jimmy Roberts and the comedy Lend Me a Tenor by Ken Ludwig. Both shows are playing in classic repertory style, alternating performances.
The Examiner summarized its review of I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change writing that the show "...may be from another century. It may have aged a bit but this champagne has aged rather well and, thanks to Arizona Broadway Theatre, [director Kurtis] Overby and his cast of four quirky, comic masters, it is still bubbly and ticklishly good fun."
The Examiner was no less pleased with ABT's first non-musical Lend Me a Tenor, stating, "If you are looking for a fun evening of great comedy, then Lend Me a Tenor is just the ticket."
Opening the 2010-11 season at ABT is My Way, a Musical Tribute to Frank Sinatra, conceived by David Grapes and Todd Olson. My Way, with direction, choreography and musical direction by Kurtis W. Overby, will open October 1 and run through October 24.

Tech Routs Nicholls For Third-Straight Win
Nov. 24, 2012
Final Stats | Notes | Box Score
LUBBOCK, Texas -- Casey Morris followed her 18-point performance on Friday night with a 19-point game Saturday to lead five Lady Raiders in double figures for a 78-48 win over Nicholls in the second day of the Basketball Travelers Invitational at United Spirit Arena.
Tech (4-1) posted its most points this season and largest margin of victory in almost a year while shooting 56.4 percent from the field - its best field goal percentage in the last two seasons.
Kelsi Baker scored 12 for her second consecutive game in double figures while Christine Hyde, Amber Battle and Jackie Patterson each added 10.
"I was really pleased with our focus and intent today," Tech head coach Kristy Curry said. "After watching film, we felt like Nicholls was as good of a team that we've played this season. But I thought today we completely took them out of anything in their comfort zone and set the tone on the defensive end."
Morris was busy on both ends of the court, grabbing a career-high seven steals as Tech totaled 18 on the day while forcing 29 turnovers that resulted in 37 points for the Lady Raiders. She also heated up outside the 3-point line, hitting five - including three in the second half that helped push Tech's lead to as much a 34 with eight minutes to play.
"(Coach Curry) always says to just keep believing in your own shot and that's what I've been doing," Morris said. "Just keep getting in the gym and it will be consistent eventually."
Battle and Patterson carried over some consistency off the bench in each half, combining to go 8 of 12 from the field for 20 of the bench's 29 points after being a combined 0 of 10 the night before.
"I thought Jackie really impacted our game at a different level today," Curry said. "Amber impacted the game in the first half whether it was a deflection or a box out - just the little things."
New Orleans (1-4) will play the finale against Tech at 2 p.m. Sunday after Southern Utah (2-2) and Nicholls (5-2) face off at noon. Southern Utah beat New Orleans, 76-47 on Saturday.

STANFORD, Calif.- Anthony Brown notched a double-double, leading five players in double figures as Stanford coasted to a 97-71 victory over Texas Southern on Thursday night at Maples Pavilion in the first round of the Progressive Legends Classic.
Brown finished with a career-high 23 points and season-high 10 rebounds, compiling his third career double-double and first since totaling 15 points and 12 boards against Cleveland State in the NIT back on March 13, 2012. He was 9-13 from the field, 3-5 from beyond the arc and dished out three assists.
Josh Huestis poured in 18 points (7-11 FG, 4-5 3FG) and grabbed six rebounds while Chasson Randle (15), Aaron Bright (12) and Dwight Powell (11) also reached double digits in scoring.
Stanford (4-1) was highly effective offensively, shooting 47.4 percent overall and knocking down 13-26 from three-point territory. The Cardinal dished out a season-high 21 assists on 37 buckets, and owned a commanding 51-32 edge on the glass.
Texas Southern (2-4) was led by Aaric Murray's 28 points while also receiving 24 from Jose Rodriguez.
The back-and-forth first half was extremely competitive, featuring five ties and 13 lead changes. Trailing 42-41, the Cardinal scored 10 of the final 12 points during a three-minute stretch before halftime. The dagger was a corner triple from Brown on the final possession of the period.
Stanford extended its lead to 70-49 with 10:55 remaining following a three-pointer from Huestis.
The Cardinal limited the Tigers to 30.0 percent shooting over the second half to preserve the victory.
Stanford next faces Houston on Monday, Nov. 25, in the championship round of the Progressive Legends Classic at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y.
- - - - - - - - - - -
NOTES: Stanford and Texas Southern were matching up for the first time … The Cardinal last scored 50 points in the first half of a game on March 7, 2012, building a 50-30 cushion against Arizona State in the opening round of the Pac-12 Tournament … The last time Stanford grabbed 50+ rebounds was Nov. 15, 2012, when the Cardinal hauled down 51 against Alcorn State … 11 different players broke into the scoring column for Stanford … With three more swats, Josh Huestis moved past Matt Haryasz (2002-06) into fourth on Stanford's career blocks list with 133. Huestis added a career-high four three-pointers, eclipsing his previous best of three against San Francisco in last year's season opener … Aaron Bright finished 4-5 overall and 3-4 from beyond the arc for 12 points. He entered the game shooting 3-15 overall and 2-9 from three-point territory … Stanford is shooting 70.8 percent (92-130) from the foul line … Freshmen Schuyler Rimmer and Malcolm Allen tallied their first career buckets … Stanford received a season high 28 points from its bench.

Stanford Head Coach Johnny Dawkins
"Just looking at the stat sheet, I thought it was one of our best team efforts of the year. I thought our guys really did an excellent job of sharing the basketball, with 21 assists. I thought that was great. I thought 21 offensive rebounds showed our guys were capable of getting to the boards and making a lot of plays there as well. Those are some things that we've been emphasizing, so to see our guys do that tonight against a very good basketball team and a team that has a lot of talent and a lot of experience, I was really proud of our effort."
"I'm going to say their play [kept it close in the first half]. Like I said before, I watched them on tape and scouted them quite a bit before we played them. They're a very good basketball team, and they're going to win a lot of games this year. And I thought in the first half, it was a game where they were going to their scorers. Those guys were producing. They were hitting some tough shots, but they're capable of doing that, and I think over the course of the game we wore them down. We have a deeper bench; they're only playing seven guys. We also made some adjustments at halftime defensively to kind of shore up a few things that we thought were hurting us. I thought our guys did a good job of adjusting on the fly."
"I thought we did a good job of really spacing the floor and we were really sharp. I thought we ran our offense. There was no hesitation going into our offense. And it's always good to make shots. When guys are knocking down shots, we had been pretty top-heavy over the last three or four games with Chasson and Dwight. It was good to see a lot of guys get involved that we realize are capable scorers. It's good to see Anthony really have the game he had. Aaron, off the bench, was terrific. Josh did a really great job tonight. They all made open shots. Shots that they make in practice every day and that we know they're capable of hitting."
"I am really proud of Anthony, because having sat out a year you don't expect a young man to come back and play the way he's playing right now. The young man has done a great job. He's been our best perimeter defender. He's also scored the ball for us really well, and that's coming back off an injury. I think he probably has career highs pretty much in everything right now, and he's been out for a year. So absolutely, I'm very pleased with where he's developed, and I think he shows a big upside. I still think he's scratching the surface of what he could be as a player, but I' m really proud of what he's done considering how long he was out."
Anthony Brown
"At halftime we went in, talked about our defensive adjustments. Gave up 44 points, talked about what we did last week, giving up 112, and saying that's unacceptable. And from there, we came out in the second half and played with more intensity, I feel like, more energy, and that led to more layups for us, and everyone started making shots."
"Our assist-to-turnover ratio has been low. We strive to get it almost a 1.5/1 ratio, and today we were making connecting plays. And I think when we make connecting plays, everyone makes shots, better rhythm, and it's just more fun for everyone. I think five people scored in double-figures, so everybody is sharing the wealth, not just one person."
"I thought they were a real athletic team. We knew coming in that they had played some teams really tough, and they had a couple guys that were averaging 20-plus, so we knew that we had to stop them … It took us 20 minutes to kind of get into the game. We kind of fell into their style of just playing up and down."
"Aaron Bright gave us a huge lift, man. I was waiting for him to hit a couple 3s, like you said. We feed off of his energy, as you can see out there. He's always hyping everybody up. He's our point guard; he's our leader. And when he gets going and the cylinders start rolling, he's a big reason why we had 23 assists. He starts it, and then everyone kind of follows."
Aaron Bright
"Well, in shootaround today, I was just lights out, so I was like, 'I should shoot the ball, try and get that hump in my shot.' I just felt really good tonight, and I just wanted to come in and be aggressive. And like you said, I take my role to kind of be an energy guy, so I try to come in and just bring energy and get these guys going, and hopefully get these guys some easy buckets."
"I love having Anthony back. During the whole offseason, when we'd be working out together, I was always like, 'Man, I can't wait to have you back on the court this year.' [Anthony] is, and is going to be, a huge part of our team's success this year, and he just makes my job so much easier when he keeps knocking down those shots."
Texas Southern Head Coach Mike Davis
"We just had no gas. They are just big guys. They're just so physical -- physical in a clean way. And they're long. When they're making shots like that it's hard. No. 21 (Anthony Brown) made three three-pointers at the end of the first half, and that No. 2 (Aaron Bright) came in and really hurt us. So they had two guys who stepped up and carried the load."
"They're a nice team with a nice system. They drive you, they make the extra pass, they do a lot of high-low stuff and they did a great job on the offensive glass tonight. When they play with energy, it's hard to beat them. Coach Dawkins has done a wonderful job with this team."
"This was a good opportunity for us to get better as a team. The first half we had against those guys spoke volumes about our basketball team. The takeaway for us is that we just want to get better for our conference. We won it last year. We're going to be okay; we just want to grow and improve from these situations. I thought we got better tonight."
"I wanted our guys to play through it. I wanted them to play tired, because we're going to have some similar games in our conference from a fatigue standpoint."

If you have two equations for cylinders:
$$x^2 + y^2 =1$$
$$y^2 + z^2 =1$$
And you have to graph them. Th missing variables for each equation is $z$ and $x$, respectively. The cylinder will have this axis of symmetry. My book selected $z = k$ and $x = 0$ for the values for the free variables. Why is that? What is the difference? Why not just use $x=k$ or $z=0?$

Livingston Taylor spends a portion of each year on the road, beguiling audiences with his wry wit and light pop-jazz sound. Then, when he returns home to suburban Boston, he imparts the lessons learned to the next generation of performers.
Taylor's forum is the Berklee College of Music courses Stage Performance I and II; a more accurate title, he told me in an interview a few years back, would be the care and feeding of your audience. In class, the veteran singer-songwriter challenges his students to rethink the relationship between artist and audience. His book, "Stage Performance," is drawn from the courses.
"There is an assumption when you go on stage that people want you to put something out," he said. "Actually, nothing can be further from the truth. What people want you to do is they don't want you to put out, they want you to take in. They want you to pay attention to them. (Songs) are conduits through which an artist and an audience have a conversation and those conversations are non-verbal conversations.
"What we do in my course, given that premise – the audience wants the artist to pay attention to them – is say the artists want the audience to join their club. To join my club, you buy concert tickets and buy CDs. As a result, I make a living and have a club."
Taylor's membership is built on nearly 50 years in the music industry. He performs June 4 at the Freight and Salvage in Berkeley; his brother James headlines Concord Pavilion the night before.
Taylor released his self-titled debut in 1970, having landed a record deal – as did siblings Alex and Kate – in the wake of James' success. Taylor shuttled between Epic and Capricorn for the next decade, recording the occasional minor hit – "Carolina Day," "I Will Be in Love With You" – but never a best seller. He went the independent-label route in the late '80s, by which time he was already a full professor at Berklee.
These days, Taylor writes and tours and every few years finances a new album. He rounds up some of the best session players in the Northeast and releases the result on his own Whistling Dog label. "Last Alaska Moon" (2010) is his latest.
"It is kind of a jazz-pop sound, that's the kind of music I make," Taylor said. "It's not unlike the music my brother James makes, although I tend to be a little more melodic than James is. My lyrics are probably less evocative, though my melodies tend to be a little more. I tend to be a little more of a dumb optimist than he is."
The siblings remain close, and Livingston acknowledges an odd career debt to James.
"The greatness of James overshadowed me, but it gives me the freedom to observe without being observed," he said. "There is nothing more precious than anonymity and your ability to blend into the background. What a blessing that is.
"When he got in the business in the late '60s, I wanted just what I've got today," Taylor said. "What I really wanted to do was to use my music to have a conversation with people.
"I have a very, very deeply committed audience," he added. "I owe them big time. They feed me, they house me, they clothe me, and they affirm the quality of the music I make. I travel all over the country seeing new places, meeting people, seeing old friends."

Are your nails dry, brittle and easily breakable? There's help for you and it's known as coconut oil. Now, while that may have sounded like a corny infomercial this information is not well known but proves true every time. Instead of reaching for those expensive brands that promise longer nails in a week reach for some pure, unrefined extra virgin coconut oil.
Why coconut oil you may ask. Coconut oil helps in softening cuticles and giving strength to lifeless nails. This is because coconut oil is a medium chain fatty acid with molecules composed of 8-10 carbon atoms. Coconut oil contains saturated fat in the form of lauric acid. Lauric acid will increase your healthy cholesterol and reduce your lethal cholesterol.
Coconut oil can work wonders inside and outside of the body do to its properties. In the case of strengthening your nails apply a small amount of coconut oil to your nails before bed. You will notice a difference in the strength of your nails in no time.
