According to a Jan. 20 report from Bellator.com, Quinton "Rampage" Jackson and "King Mo" Lawal are set to return to action at Bellator 110.
The event goes down on Feb. 28 at Connecticut's Mohegan Sun.
Jackson fights former Bellator champ Christian M'Pumbu in the opening round of the promotion's Season 10 light heavyweight tournament, and Lawal will be facing Russian submission ace Mikhail Zayats.
"This is what Bellator is all about," Jackson said. "I've never felt better, and now it's about getting the belt. Bellator is all about the tournaments, and if that's what you need to do to get that belt, that's what I'm going to do. M'Pumbu is up first, and when I finish him, it's King Mo or Zayats, and then it's onto the belt, simple as that."
With Jackson and Lawal lined up opposite each other in this season's light heavyweight tournament, it seems the promotion would enjoy nothing more than a final that includes both men in it.
"Rampage" vs "King Mo" would undoubtedly mean big ratings for Spike TV, and Lawal plans to make it to a championship fight.
"I'm not going to sit here and say I'm changing up my whole game plan, and you are going to see a new fighter," Lawal said. "That's just not me. I know what I do, I know who I am, and that's who you are going to see on February 28th, plain and simple. Me. It's all about getting that belt."
Bellator CEO Bjorn Rebney says this season's light heavyweight tournament is absolutely stacked, and he can't wait for the new season to get underway.
"Since we first partnered with Quinton, I've been working with him to get everything set for his inclusion in a Bellator tournament," Rebney said. "Working together, we've now made that a reality. This is without question the deepest Light Heavyweight Tournament we've ever done. Rampage, M'Pumbu, Zayats and Mo are all monsters and I can't think of a better way to kick off our tenth season on Spike."

Jeff Reardon set major league baseball's all-time saves record. Mike Flanagan won the Cy Young. Former football recruit Ron Villone pitched in the bigs for 15 years. Matt Torra was a first-round pick in 2005.
So junior Leif Sorenson of Bradford should be proud to set the school record for career saves. Even if it is just 12.
"It was definitely a goal," said Sorenson, who has done it in just two years, as he transferred from Vermont, after the Catamounts dropped baseball. "It's not a lot so I'm trying to smash it."

How do I remove vinyl tile adhesive?
Sub flooring makes sure you have a perfectly flat surface for tiles and other floor finishes.
If the floor is not perfect defects like cracks, bumps. and knot holes can show through the finish layer. This is very important if you plan on using vinyl flooring, the smallest speck can show through vinyl tiles and sheet.
If your floor doesn't have subflooring put subflooring in.
Hot air gun works well, if you have the time/patience, and leaves a residue you can take off with a small amount of "D-Limonene", which is the citrus smelling cleaner you can get for taking labels off.

When Al Bauer was honored a few days ago, the former teacher and state legislator was described as a leading advocate for education.
It's interesting how that turned out, considering Bauer's own educational track.
Bauer never did graduate from high school. But he did wind up with four diplomas: Two didn't count and two were issued by high schools Bauer never attended.
The 82-year-old Bauer had a chance to chuckle about it last week, when Legacy Salmon Creek Medical Center named the main road through its campus after him. He was introduced at Thursday's ceremony by John McKibbin, who'd been Bauer's colleague in the classroom as well as the Legislature. Their classrooms at Columbia River High School were back to back, McKibbin said, and they often carpooled to Olympia.
"For 30 years, his primary concern was the quality of education for students in Washington," McKibbin said.
That span did not include Bauer's own years in high school. In a conversation before Thursday's event, Bauer recalled his own experience as a dropout.
"I wanted to farm. I didn't care about school," Bauer said. "I left high school with a D average."
Then he decided to enroll in a correspondence school that offered a high school diploma.
"I did all the work on my belly, in front of our wood-burning stove. I four-pointed correspondence school and thought, 'I guess I'm not so dumb after all.'"
He decided to resume his formal education and enrolled at Clark College. After two quarters, Bauer joined the Navy and served during the Korean War.
He went back to Clark and then transferred to Portland State, where he earned a bachelor's degree while also working on a master's at Oregon State.
But Portland State said he couldn't graduate because he didn't have a high school diploma. Bauer dusted off his old correspondence-school diploma, but Portland State wouldn't accept it.
Officials suggested that Bauer take the General Equivalency Degree test. He passed the GED test, only to be told there was a paperwork problem because he was a Washington resident.
The frustrated Bauer finally talked with a Clark College adviser.
"He said, 'Let's look at your Portland State transcript.' He said I had a lot more credits than I needed and transferred some of them."
Bauer got a diploma in 1958 from Hudson's Bay High School — "which wasn't even built when I was in school" — and was teaching school in the fall.
Bauer got an honorary diploma from Fort Vancouver High School in 1975.
His own school experience continued to shape his career, he said.
"In the Legislature, I worked hard to prevent dropouts."

The Cowboy's stadium has a capacity of near 100,000 people, which will break past NBA all star attendance records. If you are familiar with Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones you should know breaking attendance records or just adding excitement to a sporting event in any way possible has Jerry Jones written all over it.
The starting players for the NBA Western Conference are LeBron James, Kevin Garnett, Dwane Wade, Allen Iverson, Dwight Howard, and for the Eastern Conference are Kobe Bryant, Steve Nash, Carmelo Anthony, Tim Duncan, and Amare Stoudemire. This year LeBron James broke records for most votes all time for the all star game, which is only fitting since record attendance is expected.

Release Date: 1999-09-17 (Limited)
Genre: Comedy,
Rating: R
Duration: 1hr 30min
Sundance veteran Allison Anders returns, this time alongside former collaborator Kurt Voss, with an exuberantly wry and insightful work that captures the essence of Los Angeles as an "industry town." If you think that industry is film, guess again; It's the music business/world/scene that's up for discussion; uh, make that dissection. Not since Nashville has the hustling, double dealing, treachery, and ruthlessness of wanna-bes, has-beens, and never-weres been so aptly and accurately displayed. It's a universe full of characters usually portrayed as caricatures, but the intimate knowledge that Anders and Voss share allows them to create, sketch, and color in perfect detail a gleefully energetic romp that gets sharper as it goes along. Needless to say, a plot summary does no justice to the story, but we can begin with Gwen (Jade Gordon). Ambitious and conniving don't begin to describe how far she'll go to become rock's next goddess. She's "cleaning" house for Liz (Ally Sheedy), a production designer who's looking for love. And when opportunity comes in the form of Burt, Gwen takes opportunity by the...you get the picture. Meanwhile, Brit rocker Clive (John Taylor) is married to actress Eva (Rosanna Arquette), up for a job as Christina Ricci's mother, and he's trying to get it together for another hit. And I haven't told you half! Vicious, yet hilarious, Sugar Town fully deserves to be this year's centerpiece. It's a masterful digression on love, fame, sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll with a little insight on how to get ahead in LA.

I always make homemade applesauce and latkes and explained their meaning to the kids. We had a family bring in the leftovers of their roasted goose, stained glass cookies, snicker doodles, noodle kugel and even black-eyed peas and dirty rice.
From that year on until we closed our doors 8 years later-this became one of the highlights of being in Carine's Day Care Corner.


text: Hi. I have tried to install VNC as service on a w2k server while being logged in using terminal services. this proved to be almost impossible due to the fact, that (is far is a can tell), after you install vnc, you can install it as service, but when you start the service, it asks for the default settings (password and so) by popping up a dialog on the main desktop of the system, and i cannot see it and fill that in because i am loggid in to the terminal services session, which gives me another desktop. the only think i was able to do is to copy the registry keys containing initial settings from another machine with working vnc as service, and importing it to the w2k machine - this worked. is there some interface to define the settings for the service before starting it the first time ? is there another logical course of action in this case ? starting vnc interactively doesn't help - it has different set of settings, stored in another place in the registry.

Barnes & Noble reader to match Kindle price?
Barnes and Noble's rumored dual-screen e-book reader gained credibility Monday night with the leak of a paper ad in advance (subscription required). A full-page placement due for the New York Times' Book Review next Sunday labels the reader as the Nook and says it will ship for $259, reaching the same price as the US Kindle. It also makes a direct reference to the previously leaked e-book lending feature, which would let users temporarily give rights to a book to someone else.
Apple COO hints at iPhone pricing on multiple carriers
Apple executives fielded a variety of iPhone- and Mac-related questions during a conference call for investors, following the announcement of yet another forecast-beating fiscal quarter. COO Tim Cook provided insight into the company's iPhone pricing while transitioning away from exclusive carrier agreements. Although he did not speak specifically about US plans, Cook expects wholesale prices to remain steady even as the device is sold through additional carriers.
Apple teases lower-priced products for fall
Apple during the conference call discussing its record quarterly results this summer provided multiple hints of price drops on its products in the near future. When asked during a Q&A session about its prediction of lower gross margins for the fall, the company warned that products in the future will have lower margins and repeatedly emphasized cost as an issue. It stressed that it would provide "ever-increasing value" in its products and reiterated its beliefs that it will continue to make products at prices others "can't match."
Detailed Q4 results show desktop declines, iPhone leaps
As a part of its fourth-quarter financial results, Apple has also produced detailed segment information. Revenue in the Americas is up 20 percent year-over-year, and now sits at $4.297 billion.

Original BlackBerry Storm to get some Storm2 features?
BlackBerry Storm 9530 users can get some of the functionality of the handset that replaced it, the Storm2 9550, via a software update from provider Verizon, an unnamed Verizon representative tells PhoneArena. Users will be able to perform the same flick scrolling, tabbed browsing and threaded texting on the Storms, however. The 9550 also has an improved SurePress typing system with four sensors and a freeze-out feature when the device is off.

Sprint buys out push-to-talk carrier iPCS
Sprint on Monday said it would buy out one of its affiliate carriers, iPCS, for $831 million. The deal puts the smaller company's push-to-talk iDEN phone service directly under Sprint's control and settles a legal battle between the two that had blocked Sprint from advertising its network and might have prevented Sprint from selling service in those areas. Under the new agreement, Sprint would no longer need to sell off parts of its network in iPCS areas.

Canon EOS 1D Mark V due tomorrow?
Canon's long rumored replacement for its EOS 1D Mark III pro DSLR could show as early as tomorrow but with multiple surprises in store, more than one source said today. A post from pro photographer Philip Bloom as well as an unnamed source for Canon Rumors both say Canon will use events celebrating the 50th anniversary of its DSLRs to unveil the EOS 1D Mark V, skipping IV due to Japanese viewing it as an unlucky number. Controversially, it would also opt for a crop-frame sensor instead of full-frame, opting for a 16-megapixel image so it can reach a maximum shooting rate of 11 or possibly 12 frames per second.
Bang & Olufsen BeoVision 10 packs 240Hz, more
Luxury home theater firm Bang & Olufsen today updated its BeoVision TVs with a new flagship, the BeoVision 10. The 40-inch set echoes the same 'seamless' TV and speaker combo of earlier sets but now adds a 240Hz panel to eliminate motion artifacts and measures about 2.1 inches deep with a thinner bezel than the BeoVision 9. The 10's creator sees it as being subtle and thin enough to sit alongside paintings without commanding too much attention until it's switched on.
RIM's BlackBerry watch companion leaked
Talk of a watch peripheral for the BlackBerry gained credibility on Monday through a slip of new information. Probably to be called the inPulse, the RIM add-on would resemble some Bluetooth watches but have an OLED display that shows much more detailed information. Shots and a description from CrackBerry indicate the watch would show previews of calls, e-mail and RSS feeds from a paired BlackBerry and give owners an easy way of deciding whether or not to reply without having to take the phone out of a pocket.
Apple discriminating against non-YouTube video services?
Apple is not playing fair in terms of supporting video hosting services beyond YouTube, claims the chief technical officer of Dailymotion. Olivier Poitrey comments that the iPhone edition of Safari relies on a special plug-in for YouTube videos, allowing it to jump straight to H.264-encoded copies. Because of Apple's battery and processor worries, Flash is not supported in any form on iPhones or iPod touches.
Sony shows 360-degree 3D display prototype
At the upcoming Digital Content Expo in Japan scheduled for October 22-25, Sony will demonstrate a prototype 3D display that will project images viewable from all around the device without requiring that viewers wear 3D glasses.

3 UK to carry HTC Hero with free Spotify music
UK wireless provider 3 said it will soon offer its first Android-powered phone, the HTC Hero with the unique addition of unlimited music. The Android smartphone will include a free Spotify Premium account, allowing users to access the online music service both on the phone and on a computer. While Spotify is available for iPhones and Android devices thanks to an app, and a monthly subscription, this is the first time it is bundled into an existing device, with the equivalent $16 monthly subscription fee waived as well. Also included with the 3 Hero is Skype access to VoIP calls.
Kaufman holds on AAPL estimates ahead of Q4 results
Kaufman Bros. is sticking with its current predictions on Apple performance ahead of the company's fourth-quarter results call, says an analyst for the firm. Shaw Wu notes that although the firm raised its estimates above consensus about two weeks ago, consensus has since raced ahead again -- perhaps too far -- and now sits at $9.2 billion in revenue with EPS of $1.42. Kaufman figures are $9.1 billion and $1.41.
Gateway brings CULV-based EC notebooks to US
Gateway today entered the market for Intel CULV portables in earnest by launching its EC series in the US. Previously seen in Canada, the line is a rebadge and re-spec of Acer's Timeline and is highlighted by the EC14.

Verizon to carry HP Mini 311, 110
Verizon is poised to kick off the launch of Windows 7 this week with two netbooks as a leaked document has shown its plans. Both the HP Mini 311 and the Mini 110 are due to reach the provider along with Windows 7 on Thursday and will be partly subsidized, with Engadget showing the higher-end Mini 311 dropping to $250 after agreeing to a contract and a $100 mail-in rebate while the Mini 110 will cost $200 on similar terms.
Grand Central Dispatch coming to FreeBSD
Grand Central Dispatch, originally introduced with Mac OS X Snow Leopard, has been ported to its first third-party operating system, says the team behind FreeBSD. When it is released, FreeBSD 8.1 is expected to support Grand Central by default. The technology is said to have been harder to adapt than some other Unix-compatible frameworks, due to the need to make kernel modifications. Mac OS X blends elements of BSD and Mach.
O2 touts Palm Pre launch day success
O2's British division today said that the UK launch of the Palm Pre was successful.

Many of these were also often buying one or sometimes two of Palm's Touchstone inductive charging dock.
Google sponsors free Wi-Fi on Virgin's US flights
Google on Monday pushed its belief in widespread Internet access with a free Wi-Fi deal with Virgin America. The team-up will give no-cost Internet access to passengers on any of the airline's current flights between November 15th and January 15th. The search engine creator sees it as a way of easing stress during the holidays by keeping up on news from the ground, though it also encourages use of Google's services in the air.
Analysts generally optimistic on Apple Q4 results
Analysts are thought to be generally enthusiastic about Apple's fourth-quarter results, set to be announced at 2PM Pacific time on Monday, 5PM Eastern. Thomson Reuters suggests that the company is on average anticipated to record a 17 percent year-over-year rise in revenue to $9.2 billion, producing a 13 percent boost in earnings per share, amounting to $1.42. Apple's own EPS estimates are typically conservative, between $1.18 and $1.23.

Plastic Logic teases QUE e-reader for CES
Plastic Logic today took the wraps off of its long in development e-book reader.

The 4GB model can hold 400 hours of recorded audio or a combination of audio recording or even applications that will soon be available through a Livescribe Application Store.
Moto Droid hand-designed by Google?
The Motorola Droid may have been designed by Google itself in what could be its best attempt to rival the iPhone, an early hands-on with the phone reveals. While Google has been known to provide input on Android devices like the T-Mobile G1, BGR now says the company had a "direct hand" in the Droid and virtually told Motorola what to build. The move suggests Google now wants a "halo" Android phone and is interested in competing more closely with Apple rather than relying on the platform alone.
Facebook 3.1 app to add push notifications
The next major version of the official Facebook iPhone app, v3.1, will add push notifications, says developer Joe Hewitt. The title lets users view and update news feeds, as well manage photos, and browse profiles and other content.

Adele's '25' album now streaming
Recording artist Adele has "pulled a Kanye" after saying that her current album "25" would not be available for streaming. The seven-month-old record, which has yielded a number of hit singles, is now available for streaming on all the major streaming services, such as Apple Music and Spotify, as of today in most major markets, with worldwide distribution to come. Reportedly, the singer had demanded streaming be limited to paid subscribers -- a condition that has hurt some streamers with artists, who aren't paid royalties for free or trial listens . Apple pays performers its normal royalty rates during its free trial, avoiding the issue -- and having repeated success in both signing up exclusives and placing those exclusives into the top of the charts. http://ti.me/28U7NOu
SanDisk iXpand case has battery, storage
A new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s case from SanDisk appears to be the "holy grail" of accessories: a stylish and protective case that offers both extra storage as well as the option of extra battery power as well. The iXpand Memory case offers either 32GB, 64GB, or 128GB of additional storage incorporated into the case, and an optional add-on battery pack (sold separately) adds up to an extra day or more of charge. Through the associated iXpand app, camera photos and videos can be automatically stored on the extra storage, optionally password-protected, The cost for the case is (in order of storage capacity) $60, $100, and $130. The battery pack's release data has not yet been announced, but the add-on should retail for an additional $30. http://bit.ly/291epHu
Fifth Hong Kong store to open June 30
The 46th official Apple store in what the company calls the "Greater China" region will open at 10AM local time in Hong Kong's New Town Plaza in the Sha Tin district on Thursday, June 30, according to a new page on Apple's retail website. Despite slowing growth due to economic turmoil in China, the country is still Apple's fastest-growing market. The new story will be the fifth for Hong Kong, a lucrative market for Apple thanks to the high concentration of wealth there and a thriving "gray" market. Normal store hours for the new store will be 10AM to 10PM every day. http://apple.co/291diaT
Apple Music bug bites very short songs
There appears to be a reproducible bug in the current version of iTunes -- version 12.4.1, running on OS X 10.11.5, both the current non-beta versions of the respective software -- that causes a streamed song to become "stuck" in endless buffering if the streamed item just before this happened was 60 seconds or less in length. The problem appears to stem from code in iTunes that signals the next track to start downloading one minute before the currently-playing track is done, and thus songs shorter than one minute don't trigger the download. Locally-stored music is unaffected by the bug, and the problem does not appear to exist in either the macOS Sierra developer beta or versions of iTunes earlier than 12.4, and does not affect the iOS Music app at all. http://bit.ly/291cN0l
Walmart Pay expands to 15 states
Walmart, one of the key progenitors of the failed CurrentC mobile payment system that was distinguished from Apple Pay by its ability to collect and share customer financial and buying data among its participants, has expanded the soft rollout of its alternative solution "Walmart Pay" to an additional 15 US states following a pilot program in Arkansas and Texas last month. Walmart continues to resist adding Apple Pay. The system, built into the Walmart app for iOS and Android, works with a complicated system of the camera scanning a purchase code at the register, then generating a QR code which is then scanned by the register. The system is available now in Alabama, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, North Carolina, North Dakota, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Virginia, and Washington, DC. http://apple.co/28SqZfu
Amazon refreshes entry-level Kindle
Amazon has added a new Kindle to its ebook reader range, one that is thinner and lighter than the previous entry-level model. Offering a six-inch 167-dpi touchscreen display, a doubled 4GB of storage, and an option for a white casing, the new model also adds in the ability to export highlights and notes to an email account as a PDF. Two versions of the all-new Kindle are available, priced at $80 including "Special Offers" and $100 without. http://amzn.to/28Q4c3R

A Quote by Sir Henry Wotton on books, music, and people
You meaner beauties of the night, That poorly satisfy our eyes More by your number than your light; You common people of the skies, What are you when the sun shall rise? This was printed with music as early as 1624, in East's Sixth Set of Books, and is found in many manuscripts.

A crucial element of ensuring peaceekeeing success in societies emerging from conflict is
the reintroduction of combatants into civilian life.
Exeprts specifically contend that "the reintegration of demobilized soldiers into civilian life was an other responsibility that was given to the UN PK force in Mozambique, but not to that in Angola. This task was another reason why the UN experienced far greater success in its PKO in Mozambique than in Angola." He additionally remarks that "since demobilization in Angola came late, if at all, the lack of reintegration did not have an opportunity to become a major problem. The Angolan parties had created plans for reintegration but had grossly overestimated the donors' willingness to pay for them." Consequently, "Mozambique and Angola, the UN failed to come up with reintegration programs that made a contribution to the peace process. Another area in which the UN should have made major efforts to protect the process and preserve the peace in the future was in disarmament.There too, the UN was unable to achieve what was necessary."
Access to, and the abundance and availability of, light weaponry such as AK-47s and RPGs was also a significant problem for the west in ending conflicts in these two countries. Toward this end, JT recognizes that "the demilitarization of these societies was by no means an inexpensive undertaking and many owners of weapons were reluctant to surrender their arms for a number of reasons, including physical protection and economic opportunity in selling them or using them for criminal activities."
Assessing mobilization
When assessing non state enemy combatants that use "terror" tactics or guerilla warfare to alter or achieve political goal use, there has to be a central binding factor or motivator . Experts can easily argue the novice position that polarization or compliance. One could argue that it is the altruistic syndrome that defines the psyche of a jihadist. Rather one has to account for the non ethic or non ethno religious extremist. There has to be an assessment and accountability for true ideologue. The extremist who seeks not for a religious caliphate or one particular cause or another , but rather the complete reorganization of the social order i.e the Yasser Arafat's founder of the (PLO) , Michael Collins of the (IRA), Gudrun Ensslin (RAF) Red Army Faction, Ayatollah Khomeini (Islamic Revolution of 1979 )the true revolutionary's.
Mobilization as defined by the Crenshaw as a social movement catalyst . Crenshaw is quoted directly as stating that .
"terrorism can do more than alter the behavior of an adversary. it serves importantly to mobilize and invigorate supporters and to develop new constituencies." "It demonstrates power, even if striking a blow accomplishes nothing concrete" and "it satisfies demands for vengeance and overcomes feelings of humiliation and resentment."
Assessing the objective mobilization
The idea of a movement is the only the entity that can fundamentally alter a governments composition and remove leadership is that idea of a mobilized and unified movement. When a terror group uses tactics such as creating a social mobilization movement. They gain the support of the general population. Hamas has been the most successful at this. The evangelizing of their jihadist doctrine, acts as means of recruiting and often gives the gives the group a seat at the political table. The open microphone by which the organization can justify its tactics can heard much clearer from a bread line in a refugee camp than in the assembly room of the UN. Mobilization connects the message to the people and creates "revolutionary atmosphere..
Benefits of Mobilization
Creates internal opposition
The organizations shapes and drives the message. Mobilization infiltrates the opposition and places pressure on those who are not loyal within a regime or administration. Open the door for defectors to become allies.
Reduces Civilian targets increase "Freedom Fighter" Perception.
While target attacks may weaken a enemy , they take a toll on the civilian population a group seeks to win over. Civilian attacks hurt civilians not a the entity in power.
Rock the Vote
The final, and perhaps most critical, factor in determining the success of UN PKOs in societies
emerging from or experiencing civil conflict is the holding of open, free, fair and competitive
elections. One can argue that this effect of such elections on longlasting peace cannot be

By Dr. Cameron Chai
Existing coatings applied on airplanes need 72 h for curing before the planes are moved out from the shelter. Hence, the industry is looking for solution to enhance efficiency and productivity by minimizing "dry-to-fly" time. The coatings used in aircraft must withstand a number of chemicals, including hydraulic fluid, motor oil and jet fuel. In addition, it must maintain flexibility to eliminate cracks in a wide range of temperatures. Also, to address the aerospace industry needs, a balance of water resistance, weatherability and flexibility is required. Bayer's scientists have created and tested UV-curable materials and determined them as potential replacements for currently used aerospace coatings.
Senior associate scientist of Bayer, Todd Williams, will present these results at the Waterborne Symposium 2012 that is scheduled on February 16. He will deliver a presentation tilted, "UV-Curable Polyurethane Dispersions for Aerospace Topcoat Applications" at the event. Williams will assess the performance of products featuring UV-curable PUDs in terms of aesthetic, chemical and physical properties. The research works by Bayer's scientists has concluded that UV-curable PUD-based binder is a promising solution for the aerospace coatings sector.

The FACTS About Olestra (Olean)
Olestra Report Form
All About Additives
Keep Updated:
A study done by Procter & Gamble and its university consultant, andpublished in this week's issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association, may beinterpreted by some as indicating that olestra does not cause gastrointestinal symptoms. MichaelF. Jacobson, executive director of the Center for Science in the Public Interest, had the followingcomment about the study.
"P&G's new study is misleading junk science that appears to have been carefully designed not tofind a problem. It does not negate P&G's earlier, better studies that proved that olestra causesstomach cramps, diarrhea, and other symptoms. Those earlier studies were better able to identifyproblems because subjects ate olestra three times a day for eight weeks, not just one time on oneday. The new study was inadequately controlled, and didn't begin to assess effects for almost twodays after eating chips.
"Further evidence of olestra's harm comes from the 2,000-plus consumers in test-market citieswho reported to P&G and CSPI that they experienced cramps, diarrhea, and other symptomshours after eating olestra chips. Children and adults shouldn't have to play Russian roulette whenthey break open a bag of chips.
"Besides causing gastrointestinal symptoms, olestra poses a long-term risk because it inhibits thebody's absorption of carotenoids. Those nutrients are thought by many experts to reduce the riskof heart disease and cancer.
"CSPI and the researchers do agree on one point though: The new study found that olestra chipsdo not taste as good as regular chips."
CSPI is a nonprofit consumer organization based in Washington, D.C., that focuses on foodsafety and nutrition. It led efforts to get the "Nutrition Facts" labels on all foods; to restrict theuse of sodium nitrite, sulfites, and other dangerous additives; and to halt many deceptive foodads. CSPI is funded largely by the one million subscribers to its Nutrition Action Healthletter.

Next week at the prestigious Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in New York, dozens of fashion designers will take to the runway to show off their newest styles. None of them will be like Mark & Estel. The West Coast-based duo are not only coming up with new looks in the clothing business, but they're also musicians creating new sounds - and they'll be performing their new single, "Malibu Anthem," at their Fashion Week presentation. We recently hooked up with Mark & Estel to talk fashion, music, and how they mix the two without running out of energy.
"We were making music together even before we started designing this line," Mark explained. "We had the idea to make band T-shirts for our music project that would sort of communicate our music, not onlywith graphics but also the way they were cut and designed...and that turned into us doing both [music and fashion design]."
"It kind of just came naturally, because they are both of our passions," Estel agreed. We thought why not put both of our passions on one platform and do this together."
In fact, Mark added, "It would actually be harder for us to separate the two."
It's hard to argue with the combination, because they've already accomplished a lot in both aspects. Their clothes have been worn by the likes of Lady Gaga, Heidi Klum, Gwen Stefani, and Kelly Osbourne, and they're credited with inventing the 'swing-T' in 2005, while their music plays in the background of all their fashion shows - and sometimes, like next week, the pair will take the stage to perform their songs live. They prefer to release both their music and their fashion collections simultaneously, as their designs are inspired by their music. Oh, and their clothes are proudly made in the USA.
"We're the only ones I think that we know that make wearable versions of our music. We mix music and fashion together," Mark said. "The thing I think is the most notable about us is that we perform our music on the runway."
"Basically the idea is, we're going to do this show, and at the same time our album comes out and five of the songs are going to be in the show," he continued. "We've kind of actually started working on the next one. We want the next one to be a sort of part two to this."
It's hard enough to be a steadily working musician, and being a fashion designer is no walk in the park, either. So what does it take for Mark & Estel to be able to sustain themselves in both disciplines? "It's all the work one can possibly do," Mark laughed, while Estel agreed, "[There is] no free time."
But working doubly hard is a lifestyle that they've accepted with open arms. Asked what would make them ultimately feel successful, he told us, "It's whatever you feel passionate about. We're already happy we did this. In itself, it's already rewarding."
"It's kind of everything I always wanted to do," Estel reflected. "I think the hardest thing for me is choosing a career path. Because I'm a fashion designer, I'm a musician, I was a fine artist, I was a painter." Now within her partnership with Mark and their dual careers, she can combine all those skills into one creative force.
That creativity, as well as their enthusiasm for art and for life in general, comes out in everything that they do. Whether it's the catchy sound of "Malibu Anthem" or the distinctive styles they create - many of which you can see in the slideshow accompanying this interview - it's clear that Mark & Estel are both inspired and inspiring. They can connect with audiences both visually and audibly. Yet with their excitement for everything that comes their way, they're also people to be admired, because they have a level of energy that most of us only wish we possessed.
But surely it's not always sunshine and laughter? Working on both new music and new fashion at the same time, spending all that time together, clearly they must occasionally drive each other crazy, right? "It's always fun," Mark laughed. "I've never been bored or mad at Estel ever."
"Of course, like anyone working together, we'll have arguments and stuff like that," Estel continued. "But we're like family. I feel like he's family." And next week, this dynamic duo will welcome audiences both in New York and online - via the Fashion Week website - into their extended family. Give them a look and a listen, and you'll be pleasantly surprised.
Mark & Estel will rock the runway at 11 AM EST on September 5th in New York as part of Mercedes Benz Fashion Week; for more on that event, click here. You can also visit their official website (markandestel.us.com) and follow them on Twitter (@MarkandEstel).

22 Ingenious Ways to Improve the Subway
Some of these ideas are so common sense, it's crazy they haven't implemented them yet.
Randy Gregory II, a master's student at the School of Visual Arts, has spent the past few months making New York City's subway system a little better, piece by piece. So far, these improvements exist only on his Tumblr — where yesterday he posted his 100th and final proposal — but perhaps you'll encounter them in the real world in the not-so-distant future. Gregory tells Daily Intelligencer that he has met with a "senior member of the MTA" to discuss "the feasibility of some of my ideas."
To mark the completion of his project, we've selected our 22 favorite concepts, from the pipe dreams to the so-simple-it's-crazy-they-haven't-done-them-yet.

Important Hair Extension Regimen Secrets Revealed
This entry was posted on May 1, 2014.
If you currently wear hair extensions then you must be dying to know the secrets behind keeping them looking their best. It's obvious that celebs seem to have shiny and healthy looking tresses, and besides them having an outstanding stylist, what other secrets are they holding on to so tightly? These regimen secrets are more simple than you think. From using conditioner regularly to treating your hair kindly while styling it, these are just a few ways to keep your extensions shiny and radiant.
Silicone is Your Friend
Instead of opting for a heavy conditioner, look for the active ingredient silicone in hair products, such as dimethicone or cyclomethicone. This ingredient coats your hair strands with a thin film as opposed to a thick film, which results in voluminous hair that is not greasy.
Load up on Salmon and Nuts
Besides just taking care of your tresses on the outside, remember that it all starts on the inside of your body. Hence this is why it is important to eat foods high in protein and omega-3 fats. You can find these nutrients in salmon and nuts, for example. The omega-3 fats allow for a healthier scalp which protects not only your real tresses, but your hair extensions too. If you have a healthier scalp then you can keep your extensions in longer. Whatever you do, don't fall for the hype of a fad diet because it's never a good idea to starve your body of vital nutrients it needs to keep you and your hair healthy.
Wash Hair in Lukewarm Water
You've most likely read two different extremes: never wash your hair in hot water and always try to wash your hair in cold water. We know how difficult both are, which is why you should stick with lukewarm water. This type of water will not harm your tresses, but still give you some warmth while you bathe or shower. Lukewarm water will protect your tresses from becoming dry and brittle, which means your extensions will last longer and will look shiny and beautiful daily.
Skip the Powerful Blow Dryer
Another tip you might have heard of time and time again is skipping the blow dryer all together, which is a good idea but we understand how you need a dryer now and again to help style your hair. This is why you shouldn't feel like you have to put away your blow dryer all together, but instead look for a blow dryer that is not as powerful. Or, at least run your powerful dryer on low when you're styling your hair.
Keep in mind that the higher the volume of the dryer the more your hair will dry out, so dry your hair slowly if you need to blow dry it. Also, purchase the less powerful dryers. Most blow dryers dry hair at the same amount of time, so don't think you're doing your tresses any favors by investing in the most powerful of blow dryers.
Brush Less
Brushing your hair extensions less will not only help them last longer, but this will prevent your real hair from falling out consistently. To keep from losing more hair than what's normal only brush your hair when necessary and use a brush with ball-tipped bristles to protect your tresses.
Happy brushing and taking care of your weave and extensions perfect Lockettes!

RESILIENT CORPORATION'S STOCK-IN-TRADE IS BASICALLY TRANSPARENCY IN THE SERVICE OF ORGANIZATIONAL RESILIENCE.

That's why we define resilience as an organization's capacity to anticipate disruptions, adapt to events, and create lasting value. That last bit about "lasting value" may strike you as a bit of a punt on our part - Shouldn't you be more specific?

Check it out: "The Past as a Prologue: The Future of the U.S. Military in One Graphic"
The author is Daniel Sukman -- strategist in the U.S. Army and a member of the Military Writers Guild.
Interesting and ambitious look at US military operations since 1980, positing logical operational postures for the Combatant Commands on that basis. Starts off with a fascinating world map, and then goes through the COCOMs individually. Very nicely executed.
The conclusion caught Dave Emery's eye, so he sent it to me.
The New Map…The Non-Integrating Gap aligns with U.S. Operations over the past 30 years
Interestingly, this review of operations since 1980 confirms the Non-Integrating Gap theory proposed by Thomas Barnett in his seminal book, The Pentagon's New Map. According to Barnett, areas of lesser development — Latin America, the Middle East, and areas of the Pacific — constitute this gap. Moreover, use of the military element of national power tends to occur in these areas. Nations outside of the gap tend to resolve conflict without outside intervention.
To address global requirements, Barnett introduced the concept of the Leviathan and Sysadmin force. In Barnett's paradigm, the focus of the Leviathan force is major combat operations. The focus of the Sysadmin force is other missions ranging from humanitarian assistance to "Phase 4" nation building activities.
The creation of the Sysadmin and Leviathan force as envisioned by Barnett may not achievable in an era of fiscal constraints. However, the joint force should prioritize the ten missions outlined in the 2014 Quadrennial Defense Review per geographic area of responsibility. Using the past as a prologue indicates the feasibility of this approach.
(RESILIENT BLOG) Rating US Healthcare Systems On Infectious Diseases: Which US States Are Most Resilient?
IN THE ADVANCED WEST, WE'VE LONG AGO SHIFTED OUR THINKING ON HEALTHCARE FROM INFECTIOUS DISEASES TO CHRONIC OR "LIFESTYLE" DISEASES. Why? Vaccines, antibiotics, and better sanitation in general put most infectious diseases (and subset communicable diseases) in the West's rearview mirror, compared to the East and South. Plus, they've been our biggest killers for a long time, thanks to modernization. Moreover, the big medical gains that we've seen with globalization's spread include a strong shift from infectious to chronic diseases in the "rising" East and a similarly unfolding shift across the South. Now, of the top-ten killers in the world, according to the WHO, seven are considered chronic problems That's the good news ...

He'd lay out some well-known story of success or failure, describe the great turning point in that trajectory, and then provide the hidden historical nugget that explained that triumph or tragedy from an entirely new perspective. In many ways, his stories were about resilience, with "the rest" always being some description of an inner strength or weakness unmentioned by history . . .

Malaria actually remained endemic in much of the United States (more in the South, obviously) through the 1940s, whereas today in a state like Wisconsin, virtually all cases that present themselves (roughly a dozen a year) feature travelers just back from tropical locations. But that's changing, per a great WAPO in-depth story of a few days back ...

Well, a couple of new medical studies suggest that your lifelong attitude toward aging and cognitive decline may significantly shape your risk of suffering Alzheimer's Disease in your elder years:
In the first study, researchers looked at data from 158 healthy people without dementia enrolled in the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging (BLSA). In order to find out how people in the study felt about age stereotypes, researchers used a scale with statements like "older people are absent-minded" or "older people have trouble learning new things."

AS THE DISTURBING DETAILS ROLL IN ABOUT THE SAN BERNARDINO MASSACRE, it's safe to say that Americans everywhere are contemplating the specter of suddenly finding themselves in such an active-shooter situation. And yes, we should expect all manner of scares, overreactions, mistaken assumptions, and general anti-Muslim ugliness to ensue. It's hard to get this sort of thing right and everyone's only human in their emotional responses. But if we're going to bolster our national/community resilience on this subject, we're going to need to listen to genuine experts on the subject - and they are very few in number.

Heck, San Bernardino was one of two mass shootings in America yesterday (the other one getting only three paragraphs of local newspaper coverage in Georgia).

WHEN WE SPEAK OF ANY ENTERPRISE'S INHERENT RESILIENCE, we're often talking about its ability to regenerate capacity despite the intervention by some degredating external variable - e.g., an attack or disaster. Typically, something's got to give, for some period of time, when it comes to your product or service provision: quality, reach, frequency, price, sheer volume - something. Thus, one question for any enterprise when it comes to thinking about building up its capacity for resilience in the face of disruption is, Which "give" does the least amount of long-term damage? Here, the simplest example would seem to be market share - as in, What did the event, relative to your resilience, cost you in market share?

YESTERDAY THE INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUND (IMF) ANNOUNCED that China's renminbi would become its fifth designated reserve currency, joining the US dollar, EU euro, British pound, and Japanese yen. The move comes in response to a several-year campaign by Beijing to have its currency thus credentialized. For now, central banks around the world hold only about 1% of their reserves in RMB, but Beijing has created an outsized latent reserve currency presence (another 5%) by concluding numerous significant currency swap deals with major trading partners. The latter scheme was apparently enough for the IMF to finally move on China's strong desire.

Readers' Circle FAQ
When I click my name, I get someone else's profile. Why isn't it showing MY profile?
This is likely because your username contains spaces and/or characters that the system can't understand. Your screen name -- what people see displayed on the site -- can have numbers, symbols or spaces. But your username, what you use to log in to ElmCreek.net and what populates your profile URL, must contain no symbols, spaces or characters other than numbers and letters.
If you have trouble with this, please use this link to access your edit screen and update your username. Until then you will not be able to access most of the Readers' Circle features.
I'm using AOL and your site doesn't work for me. HELP!
AOL is a fairly dated interface and AOL-specific browsers are proprietary and do not usually contain all of the bells and whistles of modern Internet browsers, like Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari or Chrome. It's highly recommended you check out the site in another browser outside of AOL's login interface. AOL browsers are not supported.
HELP! I'm having problems logging in, updating my profile or otherwise functioning on the website and I'm NOT using AOL!
This site was heavily tested under various user scenarios, so it's unlikely that it's the website itself that's the culprit. It could be a result of FAQ #1, the username/space issue mentioned above or it could be a browser issue or it could be a matter of a forgotten username or password. If you do have a concern about the website, please provide thorough information in your inquiry. Please do not just report that the website "doesn't work". We'll need more information in order to help you, so please have the following information ready.
- What is the error you're receiving?
- What were you doing when you received the error?
- What browser are you using (and even better, what version of that browser are you using? Internet Explorer 6, 7, 8? Firefox 2, 3?)
- Are you on a Mac or a PC?
- What is your username?
- What is your password? (Some situations will require we have your password in order to test the situation as you if we're unable to recreate it on our own.)
Is the Readers' Circle private?
Yes, in that you must be a logged in member of the Readers' Circle in order to see profiles, trivia, groups or topics within groups. But it is not anonymous. When you use the features of the Readers' Circle, such as adding a friend, hugging a friend or inviting a friend, your email address may be revealed in the notification. This is something that the developers of the software are working on offering an option for, but it's not currently available. Until then, please be aware that if you choose to connect with someone, they may be privy to your email address, but your profiles will not be visible to the general public and much of your profile is only visible to confirmed friends.
What are Discussion Groups?
The Reader's Circle offers discussion groups. This allows Readers' Circle members to participate in member-generated groups, so you can start book clubs, local meet-ups, etc. You must be a logged in member to create a group and you must have joined a particular group in order to read the discussions and participate in the comments on a group topic.
What are group topics?
Within a group, there are topi threads. Members of a particular group may start a thread or comment on an existing thread within that group. For example, a "Michigan Quilters" group might have topics within about a weekly meeting or a particular book their local club is reading. This is much like a forum or a message board. Please use discretion when starting a new group or group topic and be sure to check for similar groups before you begin anew.
What is a Wall Post?
In addition to group topics, each group has it's own Wall, much like Facebook. If you are logged into the site and you are a member of a particular group, you can comment generally on that topic by posting on that group's wall. This does not tie your comments or discussion to a particular topic and can be seen by any member of that group. Please use discretion on what is appropriate for a wall post vs. having a specific topic.
How can I tell if I've been invited to a group?
You should receive a notice via email that your friend has invited you toa group. But if you don't, in your dashboard, the menu on the right has a section for "Groups". Under "My Groups" you can find all of your pending group invitations.

Write $N = 2n$ and divide through by $2$. Write the right hand side as a product, and show that one of the factors is a square, the other one twice a square. Reduce the equation involving twice the square mod $p$.
Franz's answer is the best one, and works for p that are 5 mod 8. One could also argue as follows. (N^2/2)=(M^4)-(p^2)(e^4) and 2(M^2)(p)(e^2) are the sides of a Pythagorean right triangle whose area is 2p(NMe/2)^2. So 2p would be a "congruent number", and as Fermat showed by an infinite descent this is impossible.(But the Fermat argument essentially uses Franz's calculation, which is the determination of a 2-Selmer group, and the infinite descent isn't at all needed to answer the proposer's question)

The slide to be stained for
Cyclin D1 comprised:
1: tonsil, 2: placenta, 3: B-CLL, 4-5: mantle cell lymphoma.
Criteria for assessing a Cyclin D1 staining as optimal included: A
moderate to strong distinct nuclear staining of the neoplastic cells
in the two mantle cell lymphomas, the proliferating squamous
epithelium of the tonsil, and
sub-trophoblastic cells in the placenta,
whereas the nuclei of the
large majority of lymphocytes and the
neoplastic cells in the B-CLL should be
negative. A slight cytoplasmatic reaction was accepted both in the
cells expected to react but also in other cell types. However the
interpretation of the specific nuclear reaction should not be
laboratories submitted stainings. At the assessment 13 achieved an
optimal score (23 %), 17 good (30 %), 14 borderline (25 %) and 13
(22%) poor.
laboratories used mAb clone DCS6 (DakoCytomation,
n=2, or NeoMarkers,
n=2), 24 used mAb clone P2D11F11
n=20, or Ventana,
n=3), 3 laboratories used
mAb (rabbit) clone SP4 (NeoMarkers/LabVision),
4 laboratories used a
pAb (BioCare,
n=3, Upstate,
this assessment optimal staining could only be obtained with the
mAb P2D11F11 (obtained in 10/23) and SP4 (obtained in 3/3).
laboratories achieving an optimal staining used HIER, most
frequently (11/13) with Tris-EDTA/EGTA pH 9 as the heating buffer.
MWO, pressure cooker and water bath could be used as the heating
optimal dilution of mAb clone P2D11F11 was in the range of 1:10 –
100, and
that of the rabbit mAb SP4
was in the range of 1:50 - 500.
laboratories (47 %) submitted a staining
marked sub-optimal.
The causes were frequently a combination of several parameters in
the immunohistochemical protocol, such as an
most frequent causes of insufficient stainings (often in
combination) were:
Insufficient HIER: too short efficient heating time (MWO< 15 min.,
water bath <40 min.), use of citrate pH 6 as the heating buffer
Inappropriate calibration of primary Ab dilution (too
high or too low concentration).
- Inappropriate choice of primary Ab
insufficient epitope retrieval combined with an inappropriate
calibration of the primary Ab caused either a false positive reaction
in the B-CLL and a
generaly too high background
staining, or
false negative reaction in
the two mantle cell lymphomas. A very
important element in setting up an immunohistochemical
protocol for Cyclin D1 is the choice of
control tissue. In this assessment we chose
a tonsil as both positive
and negative control. In the sub-optimal stainings with a too
high background reaction, the lymphocytes showed a
moderate to strong
cytoplasmic reaction compromising the
interpretation in spite of a nuclear
reaction in the mantle cell lymphomas. In the
sub-optimal stainings with a false negative reaction
of the mantle
cell lymphomas, the nuclear staining of
the squamous epithelial cells
were weak or absent.

Severe storms produced significant damage in some areas of northeastern Ohio yesterday afternoon. Many locations reported wind damage from the storms which blew through during the early and mid afternoon hours.
In the wake of the storms, The National Weather Service in Cleveland, OH conducted a number of storm surveys across the region to determine whether or not any tornadoes touched down. They were able to confirm 3 tornadoes across the area.
Here are the details.
Cities Impacted: Valley City
Time: 1:33 p.m. July 8, 2014
Rating: EF-1
Wind Speeds: 94 mph
Path Length: 7.3 miles
Max Path Width: 200 yards
The tornado touched down in Lorain county, and tracked ENE into Medina county. Damage to structures was mostly minor, with one barn moderately damaged.
Story from WKYC: http://www.wkyc.com/story/news/local/medina-county/2014/07/08/medina-county-tornado/12392803/
Cities Impacted: Hinckley
Time: 1:47 p.m. July 8, 2014
Rating: EF-1
Wind Speeds: 94 mph
Path Length: 1.5 miles
Max Path Width: 150 yards
Mainly tree damage was reported from this tornado.
Cities Impacted: Canfield
Time: 2:15 p.m. July 8, 2014
Rating: EF-1
Wind Speeds: 90 mph
Path Length: 5.0 miles
Max Path Width: 800 yards
Approximately 10 homes were damaged with a couple of garages being heavily damaged.
Story from WFMJ: http://www.wfmj.com/story/25971183/tornado-touches-down-in-mahoning-county
You can visit the NWS website for more information regarding these tornadoes: http://www.weather.gov/cle
Clean up has begun in the affected areas today. While tornado warnings were issued for the storms in Lorain and Medina counties, there were no warnings issued for the storm in Mahoning county. This has left many residents in the Canfield area wondering "why?". This is something the National Weather Service will need to investigate.

"Well, now that I've read it what does it mean?" When I'm asked that I feel they have missed the point. They likely ask due to so much emphasis in their schooling to 'dissect' a poem into all its bits. Sorry, its no longer a poem when its all in bits, but only words that are without any breath in them, no life.
Poems may be an attempt to express a moment in time, or feelings, or experiences, or that which has no words. A poem may attempt to emote in others what was experienced, and/ or to record it for the writer. Meaning isn't just in each word chosen, or as a group, but also in the sound of the words, the cadence of them as well. And, the silence can be just as important.
What does it mean?
Nothing. Everything.
Experience it!

In May of 2011, I started a new personal blog. I'd tired of writing for an audience and longed for a place to write my unrestricted thoughts without concern for traffic. TRSJ would be the home base for everything me. Then I decided it'd be a personal development blog sprinkled with career articles. Then I decided I'd start a curated career blog. That's when the wheels started to fall off. I'd promise to keep myself on a schedule (publicly), then fall off and have to apologize — each time coming back more energized. I never built the momentum I thought I would because I was pulled in too many directions. But even though I knew it, I kept the show going and focused on finding a new way to keep things interesting. In June of 2012, I decided I'd start chronicling my journey to get back on track and become an athlete before my body stopped working.
The Back on Track Journey
I used to be a tracklete in college — the long jump specifically. With 30 approaching, I realized that the window to hit the goals I'd set for myself years before was closing. I embarked on a rigorous workout and diet regimen to get in the best shape of my life. I was posting weekly updates and chronicling my progress. It was awesome to watch my body — physical, mental and emotional — transform over the summer. I was running faster, shedding weight and generally more happy with life. Little did it matter that working out was an additional two hours out of my day. It just felt good to be making progress and knowing that my updates were helping others. And since I had the momentum with one dream, I figured why not pursue another.
I Am *Insert Government Name*
Career Coaching
I've always been good at helping people find jobs. Helping people has been one of the things that's brought me the most happiness. When I don't feel like I'm doing that, I don't feel like I'm fulfilling my purpose. In August 2012, I decided I'd become a Pathfinder for Professionals. I created a Career Development blog under my real name and started working with clients on resumes and cover letters, and writing career articles for popular online destinations. Little did I know that my transition to career coaching would be the straw that broke the proverbial camel's back. Though extremely rewarding, it took up more of my time.
The Back on Track Journey slowly but surely faded. My postings on TRSJ ground to a September halt. Because of the time constraints, my day job — the other unspoken child — became more stressful. Things were great on the career consulting front for a few months. But once again, as SBM started to take up more of my time, I fell off. My writing on another known site has continued, but I've been unable to keep up with the inquiries and regular updates on my career site. Imagine money with legs walking up to your door and having to look through the peephole and say "Sorry, I can't talk to you right now." Wack.F*cking.Buckets.
It's important to note I don't do it for money, but money buys freedom. I value freedom more than anything else.
Father to One
All these projects have been my babies, but I've decided that in 2013 I just won't be able to take care of them all. Though I've learned making comparisons to others is the analysis of the devil, it's been tough watching parents focus on their only children and catapult themselves ahead of me, while I've tried to juggle a threesome with no happy ending. 2013 will be the year that I narrow my focus and get it done by focusing on one…point five. The career articles will continue, but I'm gonna see just how far I can go by focusing on growing this site. And if it gets where I'd like it to go, I'll start paying more attention to one of my other kids.
Fatherhood is tough. I've been doing the best that I can, but realized I'm not the best that I can be. It's time to narrow the focus. Will you be doing the same?

Erroll Garner: I'll Remember April
I'll Remember April
Erroll Garner (piano)
Concert by the Sea (Columbia 9821)
Erroll Garner (piano), Eddie Calhoun (bass), Denzil Best (drums).
Composed by Gene De Paul, Don Raye & Patricia Johnston.
Recorded: Carmel, September 19, 1955
Rating: 95/100 (learn more)
Erroll Garner's Concert by the Sea was one of the most popular piano trio albums of the era, and was also heard widely in later years as a "Nice Price" reissue. But Garner seems to have fallen from favor in the last decade or so. His influence is all but undetectable among the younger generation of pianists. What a shame. This elfin artist possessed one of most felicitous keyboard styles in the annals of jazz, distinguished by delightful dynamic shifts, clever left hand devices and a boisterous sense of swing. This opening track from the famous live date is a fine introduction to Garner's work. He starts with one of those non sequitur piano intros, meandering mini-epics that have no apparent relation to the song they kick off -- another Garner trademark; but when he gets into a groove, he is as unstoppable as a runaway locomotive. Every once in a while, he drops a left-hand chord that explodes off the beat, a pianistic equivalent of an Art Blakey bomb. But he is just as likely to pound those chords out four to a bar. Above all, his solos capture an upbeat, lighthearted attitude that was uncharacteristic of mid-1950s jazz, but which still has its appeal today. My only gripe here is the sound quality, which is sub-par even by Eisenhower-era standards. Still, this is a classic date, and one that every jazz fan should hear.
