By now, everybody in the country knows about the horrific shootings at a packed theater in the metro Denver area last week. Twelve people were killed and scores were wounded. Predictably, gun-control zealots nationwide are shouting for stricter gun control laws. Not only that, some are even calling for the TSA to set up airport-style screening devices in movie theaters.
So, if the TSA is going to set up screening devices for movie theaters, why not grocery stores, department stores, malls, strip malls, churches, boy scout meetings, girl scout meetings, soccer matches, little league baseball games, concerts, rodeos, etc., etc. Heck, let's just put TSA screeners at any gathering that attracts more than, say, ten people! What about the cost, you ask? Who cares? It's all about being safe, right? If big-government toadies have taught us anything over the past several years it is that the American people are a bunch of helpless, defenseless sheep who owe all of their safety and security to the all-powerful, all-knowing, all-caring federal government, right?
Whether the Denver shooter was a plain old wacko or a product of some sort of sophisticated MK Ultra-type assassination program, as some are suggesting, the reason twelve people died and so many were wounded is because the laws of the city and rules of the movie theater demanded that patrons disarm themselves. Had only one or two individuals in that movie theater been armed, the outcome could have been much different. Twelve people are dead, because the movie theater was a gun-free zone! Obviously, bad guys do not pay any attention to gun-free zones, except to note that such zones create a free-killing environment.
Have readers ever noticed that these so-called "madmen" are never crazy enough to try and attack guys at a gun range? Gee! I wonder why not?
One thing the national news media will always ignore is the practice of lawful self-defense. For example, most people are probably not aware of the fact that American citizens use a firearm to defend themselves more than 2.4 million times EVERY YEAR. That is more than 6,500 times EVERY DAY. This means that, each year, firearms are used 60 times more often to protect the lives of honest citizens than to take lives. Furthermore, of the 2.4 million self-defense cases, more than 192,000 are by women defending themselves against sexual assault. And in less than eight percent of those occasions is a shot actually fired. The vast majority of the time (92%), the mere presence of a firearm helps to avert a major crime from occurring. That is what Congressman Roscoe Bartlett (R-MD) concluded after extensive research. According to Rep. Bartlett, the number of defensive uses is four times the number of crimes reported committed with guns.
John Lott, senior research scientist at the University of Maryland, agrees with Bartlett. His book "More Guns, Less Crime" documents the fact that firearms in the hands of private citizens are actually a major deterrent to crime–instead of being a cause of crime.
One thing America's founders unanimously agreed on was the necessity of free people to keep and bear arms. In light of the Denver shootings, Thomas Jefferson's counsel makes even more sense. He said, "Laws that forbid the carrying of arms . . .
Lila Grace Rose and Live Action are once again exposing the gendercide-endorsing zealots of Planned Parenthood. This time, it's PP staff in Hawaii who blithely encourage and coddle a young girl who tells them she wants to abort her unborn baby girl because she's the wrong sex.
Watch as the PP staff condemn a doctor for questioning the sex-selection scheme and champion taxpayer-subsidized sex-selection murder:
Every day brings a new reason to be thrilled about Indiana voters finally showing Dick Lugar the door. The Lamenter of the Day is Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who joins the list of liberal Democrats who don't want to see Lugar go for much the same reason Bonnie and Clyde mourned the loss of the man who in a pinch would always agree to serve as their getaway driver:
I worry when I see dedicated patriots like Sen. Lugar drummed out by Tea Party zealots for being too willing to cooperate
Perhaps some cowboy poetry could help soften the blow?
I've heard from people who are worried that the Democrats might now have a better shot at winning the seat in November because Lugar's out, but based on the political eulogies we've been hearing and where they're coming from, it's obvious that to a large degree the seat already belongs to Dems with Lugar in it. Time for a welcome change.

In their isolated inside the beltway arrogance, it appears the Obama administration did not anticipate the huge "blow back," resulting from Obama's decree that Catholic institutions provide birth control, abortion drugs and other contraceptive services.
This latest attack on the unborn is simply more of the same from Obama. As an Illinois Senator, Obama voted against the Born-Alive Infants Protection Act which authorized hospital staff to give medical assistance to babies who survived failed abortions. Before the Born-Alive Act, hospitals were legally forced to leave an unsuccessfully aborted baby to die. Some died quickly, some clung to life for several hours. Obama voted against Born-Alive Act three times. http://blackgenocide.org/planned.html
But folks, Obama is not alone in his callousness towards the most innocent of human life.
Think of the Secular Progressive Movement as a pro-abortion patchwork quilt of various anti-America groups. These people hate everything about America from the light bulbs we use, to our consumption of beef, to our love affair with the automobile. They believe America is the greatest source of evil in the world; everyone else in the world has too little because America has too much.
Now get this folks — a large number of these environmental zealots are mega-wealthy Hollywood people and democrat politicians who live in mansions and travel everywhere in limos and private jets. They consume more fuel and resources per month then most of us will consume in our entire lifetime. I was shocked when I picked up a government funded brochure at my local library which laid a huge guilt-trip on young couples instructing them not to have a baby to "save the planet."
Abortion is the thread which joins each wacko anti-America patch of their Secular Progressive quilt together. Why? Why is the left so fanatical about killing human babies? If it is about "choice" as they claim, why are they infuriated when a woman "chooses" to have her baby? Case in point, the left's hysterical outrage over the Super Bowl ad in which Tim Tebow thanked his mom for not aborting him.
"Colored people are like human weeds and are to be exterminated." Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood. Seventy eight percent of Planned Parenthood clinics are in black neighborhoods. Blacks only make up 12% of the population, but 35% of America's aborted babies are black. Half of black pregnancies end in abortion. Is this an intentional genocide?
"The most dangerous place for an African-American is in the womb" Pastor Clenard Childress, Jr.
Blacks are the only minority in America experiencing declining population.
So, why would Obama, the NAACP, Rev. Sharpton and other black leftists be passionate supporters of Planned Parenthood? Why did Al Sharpton threaten to protest a pro-life billboard which exposed the devastatingly high number of black abortions? http://bit.ly/ed7XL9
Why? Why are these leftist blacks more loyal to their Holy Grail of abortion than they are to their fellow blacks; all the while claiming rich white Republicans and the Tea Party are the enemies of black America?
Why are so-called African-American activists, all democrats, at odds with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr's niece, Alveda King who is a committed Christian pro-life advocate? http://bit.ly/A6pPXF
What is up with these people on the left?

Obama's Super-Czar Is on the Loose
by Michelle Malkin

Here is the operating motto of the Obama White House: "So let it be written, so let it be done!" Like Yul Brynner's Pharaoh Ramses character in Cecil B. DeMille's "The Ten Commandments," the demander in chief stands with arms akimbo issuing daily edicts to his constitution-subverting minions with an imperious wave of his hand. His entourage of insatiable usurpers never rests.
Can't delude legislators into adopting a $1.5 billion Kabuki summer-jobs makework boondoggle? Create an unfunded program through executive fiat.
Can't muster up a filibuster-proof majority for radical nominees? Czar-ify 'em.
Can't get Congress to approve vast wild lands designations? Grab them under cover of a holiday lame-duck session.
Can't get the illegal alien bailout DREAM Act passed on Capitol Hill? Executive-order it.
"So let it be written, so let it be done!"
In keeping with the dark and defiant habits of this administration, the new head of the half-billion-dollar Consumer Financial Protection Bureau was sworn in behind closed doors on Wednesday night. The nomination of former Democratic Ohio Attorney General Richard Cordray to serve as Dodd-Frank regulatory enforcer had been soundly defeated in the Senate before Christmas. But as I reported last month, progressive zealots funded by billionaire George Soros goaded Obama to ignore the Senate's constitutionally grounded advice and consent role.
At his left flank's urging, Obama vowed to follow in President Theodore Roosevelt's footsteps (TR recess-appointed 160 officials during a recess of less than one day) and install Cordray even though the Senate technically remained in pro forma session. Fresh from his Hawaii vacation, Obama returned to Washington and for once delivered on a promise.
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney told reporters Thursday that the administration expects no retaliation for the end-run around the deliberative process. Playing the pharaoh's helper, Carney airily dismissed widespread bipartisan questions about the legality of the power grab as "esoteric discussion."
The GOP knew the installation of Obama's latest super-czar was coming a month ago, but is now scrambling to respond. Republicans will get clobbered with the class warfare card again unless they forcefully counter the Democrats' narrative of the president's "bold" actions for "middle-class Americans."
Obama's liberal media supporters have rationalized the tyrannical maneuver as a response to GOP "nullification." But it's those who oppose common-sense reforms of the gravely flawed Dodd-Frank law — a 2,600-page monstrosity that no lawmaker read before passing it — who are obstructing good government.
As Senate Republicans have been pointing out for months, Dodd-Frank threw out judicial review, removed CFPB from the congressional appropriations process, provided five-year tenure protection for the director and transferred the agency from the Treasury Department to the opaque and unaccountable Federal Reserve.
Obama and Democratic leaders themselves recognize the recklessness of vesting so much unfettered power in a single individual. In 2009, Obama floated a bipartisan board to oversee enforcement. Democratic Sens. Dick Durbin of Illinois, Charles Schumer of New York and Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island all co-sponsored legislation backing a commission. Massachusetts Democratic Rep. Barney Frank was also an original sponsor of a bill creating the very kind of five-member panel Republicans have proposed.
The House passed these and other structural reforms last year, but the Senate has failed to act, and the White House insists on demagoguing reformers.

Thanks to vigilant pressure from 2nd amendment bloggers and House GOP Oversight and Reform Committee chairman Darrell Issa, the White House is set to throw acting ATF director Kenneth Melson under the bus over the Project Gunrunner/ Fast and Furious scandal (all background links below). Internal documents released this week show he was intimately involved in overseeing the program and screened undercover vid of thousands of straw purchases of AK-47s and other high-powered rifles — some of which ended up in the hands of Mexican drug cartel thugs, including those who murdered Border Patrol agent Brian Terry.
Getting rid of Melson is a start — but this one move alone ain't gonna cure ATF's problems. It's going to take a bigger bus. Corruptocrat AG Eric Holder knew about the program much earlier than he testified to, Rep. Issa says, and he has been an obstruction to the Gunrunner probe since day one.
And then there's the man waiting in the wings to replace Melson — either as acting director or as permanent director. He's Chicago anti-gun radical Andrew Traver and he's scheduled to meet with Holder and DOJ today.
I told you all about Traver in April when only a few were paying attention and I'm reprinting my column in full to bring you back up to speed. See also David Codrea's FOIA on Gunrunner from April for Traver's fingerprints.
Stop ATF's anti-gun zealots
by Michelle Malkin
Creators Syndicate
Copyright [April 1,] 2011
For 30 years, Chicago banned handguns. The crime rate skyrocketed. Murders soared. Gangs blossomed. Desperate city officials even considered calling the National Guard to combat the out-of-control violence that all the "community organizing" in the world couldn't curb. The Supreme Court struck down Chicago's individual firearms ownership prohibition last year, but the same anti-gun zealots who put Windy City citizens' lives at risk remain in power.
And now one of them may soon be in charge of the scandal-plagued Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
Meet Andrew Traver. He's President Obama's nominee to head ATF. The Senate Judiciary Committee refused to act on the original nomination last fall. His name was sent up again earlier this year, and a hearing has yet to be scheduled. Obama's czar-happy habits should be a red flag on a possible recess appointment.
Traver has spent two decades in the Chicago ATF office bureaucracy. The White House touts his record as a Navy vet and crime-fighter. But it's his anti-gun advocacy that won him Chicago crony backing in the Beltway. Liberal Republican Sen. Mark Kirk and rabid leftist Sen. Dick Durbin both support their home state bureaucrat. Grassroots Second Amendment groups across the country (not to mention rank-and-file ATF agents) have raised their voices in opposition.
Traver allied with the progressive Joyce Foundation to lobby for tighter federal restrictions of Second Amendment freedoms. He supports curtailing access to ATF databases and opposes privacy protections for gun-owners. He has also compared automatic black-market weapons to legal semi-automatic assault weapons.
As the National Rifle Association points out, Traver misled the public in a fear-mongering appearance on a Chicago NBC affiliate TV news show.

The American Revolution, from the day in 1773 when tea got dumped in Boston Bay to the day in 1781 when the British were defeated at Yorktown took eight years. If it had been on television, the ratings would have fallen off in about two weeks.
My point is that, by the end of the second week of the turmoil in Egypt, it mattered less and less to those in the West that a million Egyptians were showing up in Cairo and Alexandria to demand Mubarak's resignation or that demands for real freedom, real liberty in the Middle East are a very big deal!
Mubarak says he intends to stay in office until the election in September. He appointed a vice president, gave a pay raise to government workers, and has patiently waited for the crowds to grow tired of singing, chanting, listening to speeches, and to get on with their lives.
These events are cultural in nature.
Despite common ties with England, the colonists had been quite distinctly "American" for a very long time and didn't like being treated poorly by the British crown and parliament. "No taxation without representation" became their rallying call.
Egyptians have been around a lot longer than Americans; several millennia in fact.
They have been Muslims since the religion was "introduced" by its early zealots in the seventh century A.D. Designed to appeal to Arabs in particular, but proclaimed as a universal faith to which everyone would have to submit, Islam put its stamp on Egyptians, just as it would on Persians and others throughout the Middle East, northern Africa, and into India..
It wasn't that long ago that Egyptians were ruled by a monarch, King Farouk, crowned at age 16 and ruling until 1952 when a coup led by Gamal Abdel Nasser forced him into exile in Monaco. The defeat Egypt had suffered in the 1948 Arab-Israeli war would lead to the end of the king's reign. Until then, from around the 1800s, the British had been deeply involved in Egypt, eventually wresting control of the Suez Canal from the French while the monarchy increasingly became a figurehead.
The British literally modernized Egypt, but by the end of World War Two, depleted in wealth to maintain their empire, they watched it drift away into new, independent nations. Nasser nationalized the Suez Canal in 1956 and continued to engage in wars with Israel. When Nasser died his successor, Anwar Sadat, made a cold peace with Israel and, shortly after, was assassinated by the Muslim Brotherhood.
Seated beside him that day was Hosni Mubarak, an air force general and, when he came to power shortly thereafter, he clamped down on the Muslim Brotherhood who wanted to turn Egypt into the same kind of hellish regime that was later imposed on Iran in 1979. As in Turkey earlier, Egypt installed a secular government whose military ensured that it stayed that way.

If I had the authority, I would use enhanced interrogation methods on progressives. It wouldn't be my intention to hurt them. At least that wouldn't be my sole intention. I would simply want to compel them to face facts and to quit parroting left-wing lies.
For one thing, no matter what AARP and the New York Times would have you believe, most Americans don't favor ObamaCare. Even a lot of Democrats don't. That's why it took bribery and intimidation by Obama, Pelosi and Reid, to get the damn thing enacted.
Another fact of life is that the federal government does not create jobs, except those jobs in government that those of us in the private sector are then forced to pay for through our taxes. The only way the feds can help employment is by lowering taxes and eliminating the endless regulations that, thanks to the ecological zealots, hogtie business for the sin of pursuing profits and placing the comfort and well-being of human beings over that of such lower life forms as snails, spiders and ecological zealots.
For one thing, no matter what AARP and the New York Times would have you believe, most Americans don't favor ObamaCare.
It is time that Congress and the president acted like adults and quit pandering to those who keep insisting that people control the climate. If we did have such powers, we would have done away with snowstorms, hurricanes and really rotten weather during the World Series. It is also time that we quit pretending that wind and solar power will ever replace fossil fuel. If wind power had such magical properties as the fruitcakes would have us believe, Washington, D.C., would have been a fossil fuel-free zone years ago.
Until something better comes along, we are stuck with natural gas, coal, nuclear power and oil. That being the case, it's high time that we begin building more nuclear reactors and start drilling in the ocean, in Alaska and anywhere else in America where the geological experts tell us there is oil to be found.
At the same time, the moratorium on building oil refineries must be ended. Who the heck is in charge, anyway? The Chinese? The Saudis? Mahmud Ahmadinejad? Al Gore?
One might, if one were of a kindly nature, pay lip service to idiots and even con men, but only a person out to sabotage America would allow such folks to dictate our energy policy.
Either we want to be free of dependence on the various anti-American despots in the Middle East, Russia and Venezuela, or we don't. And if for some reason that escapes me, we aren't serious, it's time we quit whining about the high cost of gasoline. The folks selling the stuff to us are not our friends. They have every reason on earth to gouge us. But that's inevitably the fate of suckers, saps and crybabies.

The obituary for the DREAM Act illegal alien student bailout is premature.
You know this because I've been writing about the ceaseless push to pass this brazen shamnesty plan for years.
The Washington Post pronounced it "shelved" over the weekend.
Not so fast.
Via the Hill, the open-borders lobby is claiming momentum:
When House Democrats last week passed the DREAM Act before the Senate had staged its vote, the timing was no accident.
Instead, the chronology was part of a carefully designed strategy — orchestrated, with some tension, between the two chambers — to grant the proposal its greatest shot at success. The fast-evolving process required behind-the-scenes scheduling changes; an 11th hour hearing; constant lobbying from supporters; and a risky-but-successful show of procedural gymnastics in the Senate — all aimed at lending momentum to the hot-button bill in hopes of enacting it by month's end.
In short, supporters say, the process has infused life into the policy.
"It actually gives us a chance to win," said Frank Sharry, executive director of America's Voice, an advocacy group lobbying for the bill.
Adey Fisseha, policy attorney for the National Immigration Law Center, echoed that message. "It makes it real, and it increases the pressure," Fisseha said. "They thought they had the votes. They wanted to lock it in. And they did."
Indeed, had the Senate voted first, the bill likely would have failed, and the House would have lost its appetite to stage a vote at all, according to both supporters and critics of the proposal.
The DREAM Act zealots are targeting Senate Republicans with more protests and hunger strikes. Those Republicans need bucking up.
GOP Sen. Scott Brown has been steady in his opposition to all forms of illegal alien amnesty, but a supportive call (or two or three) would be helpful as he faces a pro-DREAM p.r. onslaught:
A coalition of advocates, educators and religious leaders have scheduled a press conference Monday at Boston City Hall to pressure the Massachusetts Republican to vote for the federal proposal.
Same with Sen. Hutchison:
WASHINGTON – A national Hispanic Republican organization denounced Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison's opposition to the DREAM Act on Friday and warned that the stance may hurt her re-election prospects in 2012 should she decide to run.
"We are conservative Republicans who hold traditional military and social values," the group Somos Republicans wrote in a letter to the senator. "We are troubled by the fact that you failed to recognize that Hispanics in Texas are overwhelmingly in support of the DREAM Act."
Useful phone numbers for Operation Buck Up:
While you're at it, you might want to put in a special phone call to retiring open-borders Utah GOP Sen. Bob Bennett (good riddance) and ask him to name names of the Republicans who support massive, costly illegal alien amnesties that undermine immigration enforcement and put law-breaking workers and students ahead of law-abiding ones. Do tell:
Outgoing Sen.

This article analyzes the stages of foundation and consolidation of one of the most important intellectual movements of Latin America in the twentieth century - the Latin-American movement of History of Ideas -, starting from actions and writings of its main leader and founder, the Mexican philosopher Leopoldo Zea Aguilar (1912-2004). In the 1940s, during the foundation period, the main focus is on the primary work of Zea, as well as on his first efforts to articulate and organize this movement in continental scale. Moreover, in the following stage held in the 1950s, the process of organic and epistemology consolidation of the movement is invoked.

Office of Accounting Administration Services
Part 5. Sales of Goods and Services - Table of Contents
A. Receipt of Funds
Funds for Sponsored Receivables (SR) may be generated from a number of sources, including federal research awards, private research contracts, or research agreements with other universities. Funds are received in various forms, including the following:
1. Automated Clearing House (ACH) and Federal Reserve Wire Transfers (Wires)
Wires and electronic transactions sent via ACH are received and processed daily. They are then posted to the appropriate 26-accounts that have been set up by Sponsored Projects Award Administration (SPAA) in the Office of Sponsored Projects (OSP). See the Account Support by Account Number Web page for more information.
2. Checks
The Office of Accounting receives checks daily and deposits them to the appropriate account within 24 hours of receipt.
3. Line of Credit (LOC) Draws
LOC draws are performed every Monday. If Monday is a university or federal holiday, the draw will occur on the Tuesday after the holiday. If there is any deviation in the draw schedule, SR will notify SPAA prior to the day of the draw. If any issues or problems occur concerning the draws (insufficient funds for an award, closed awards, etc.), SR will notify the SPAA manager and the accountant responsible for that LOC group.
4. Clearing Account Balance Transfers
If the correct depository account cannot be determined when funds are received, or the 26-account has not yet been established by OSP, the funds are deposited into a clearing account until additional information is gathered and the appropriate depository account is determined or established. Once correct placement is determined, the funds are transferred from the clearing account to the appropriate 26-account.
B. Refunds
A refund is issued when a sponsored project closes or expires and excess funds remain in the account, or when SR is instructed
by SPAA to issue a refund. Any refund request over $5,000 must be approved in writing by the associate director or assistant
director of SPAA. Refunds of less than $5,000 can be approved by the associate director, assistant director, or financial manager
of SPAA. Refund checks will be hand delivered to the designated administrative associate or the receptionist in SPAA.
Note: For refunds of $50,000 or more, an additional copy of the completed VP2 payment voucher with back-up documentation must be delivered to the Office of Accounting Administrative Services in Main 132, K5300.
C. Reconciliation
Automated Standard Application for Payments (ASAP) and Department of Education 26-accounts are reconciled quarterly to university accounting balances by Sponsored Receivables in order to maintain accuracy in the individual awards that are linked to the 26-accounts.

Idaho is a state that has had a long history when it comes to flooring. This extremely important industry for this state is one of the leading ones in the United States, and it is no wonder that one of the best companies in this field, Brennan's Carpet, is located here. And that is why have decided to look at the latest trends in hardwood flooring in this state, and see what it is they believe would be the biggest trend for the year 2016. To figure this out, we set out to Twin Falls, Idaho, where we hoped to get an answer to this question; and we did get it.
The first of the latest trends in hardwood flooring in Twin Falls was "the distressed flooring". Many people don't really know what this means, but it's okay, since we didn't really know it either. The "distressed" flooring is the flooring that is heavier hand scraped, or even contoured. However, even though this trend has been here a while, the latest one has everything to do with wire brushed ceruse. It seems that this trend is extremely popular in Idaho, as well as in the rest of the United States.
When it comes to wood, it looks that the oak is making a comeback, with the white one and the red one being extremely popular. Also, people seem to love hickory, as well as some of the paler types of wood, such as the birch and maple. The year 2016 wouldn't be anything without some exotic wood, and that's why we have bamboo and Brazilian cherry.
The 2016 has seen something new emerging, and that new thing seems to be – longer hardwood. We're used to see the hardwood not being that long, but it would appear that this has started to change. Longer length hardwoods are the latest trend, and people love them because they have a more traditional feeling to them. The newer planks are sometimes even longer than 12 inches, but just make sure you place them in a big enough room; otherwise, they would just look as if they don't belong there.
Everyone seems to be going "green" nowadays, and why should the hardwood flooring industry be any different. And this can be best seen on the hardwood finish. The finishes are now made of natural oils, and that seems to be the latest trend. People have realized that we have to protect our environment, and the hardwood flooring industry is doing it their own way.
If you've ever wondered about the latest trends and types of hardwood flooring in Idaho, than look no further, because you have been given all the answers. And if there is any state that knows how to deal with floors, it's Idaho, and that is why we ought to listen to what they have to say. And just to make sure, we've also checked this out with the Shaw Flooring company, and they've confirmed everything we've heard in Twin Falls. So, yeah, now we can be sure that there really are the latest trends in hardwood flooring.

For all the scenarios, all the intrigue, the NBA trade deadline passed at 3 p.m. on Thursday without a major deal going down. Jason Kidd and Vince Carter are still members of the New Jersey Nets, Pau Gasol is still with the Memphis Grizzlies and Mike Bibby is staying with the Sacramento Kings.
The biggest trade on Thursday turned out to be the Portland Trail Blazers' middling deal of Juan Dixon to the Toronto Raptors for Fred Jones. Also, the Philadelphia 76ers sent Alan Henderson and his expiring contract to the Utah Jaz, and the Dallas Mavericks traded guard Anthony Johnson to the Atlanta Hawks for draft considerations.
The Mavericks never found the role for Johnson that they envisioned after acquiring him from the Indiana Pacers over the summer.
As several executives and player agents said Thursday, so much of the unwillingness of teams to make trades centered partly on their reluctance to trade No. 1 picks that could turn out to be lottery selections. This June's NBA draft promises to be one of the deepest in years.
- Portland Trail Blazers
- Memphis Grizzlies
- New Jersey Nets
- Vince Carter
- Jason Kidd
- Sacramento Kings
- Pau Gasol
- Mike Bibby
- Toronto Raptors
- Dallas Mavericks
- Alan Henderson

The similarities between the Ontario and Canadian electoral pictures are striking: Both feature a scandal-plagued incumbent government that's growing long in the tooth and whose post-recession fiscal performance has been on the poor end of mediocre.
However, whereas the rest of the country has another year and a half to decide who they want to be in charge, we in Ontario are not so lucky. So, what are the alternatives?
The Liberal Party of Ontario has been in power since 2003 and is currently facing intense backlash due to the scandal surrounding the gas plant cancellation. In addition their fiscal management has been less than stellar and Ontario's recovery from the recession has been slow. They do not deserve your vote.
The NDP last led the province from 1990-1995 and nearly ran it into the ground. Nineteen years isn't quite enough time in the wilderness to pay for the destruction they wrought; maybe next time. So, they don't deserve your vote.
The Progressive Conservative Party was last in power from 1995-2003, during which time they cut services and re-balanced the budget, but were later accused of cooking the books. They do not deserve your vote until 2098, when the 99-year lease on the 407 runs out.
The Green Party of Ontario also exists.
With the major parties undeserving of your vote, there is really only one viable alternative: Minor parties. Almost every riding will have at least one minor party candidate running, and it's not like they could do a worse job than the chuckleheads we've had running the show for the past few decades.

September 2012, the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) and the Vote Solar Initiative (Vote Solar) published a report naming the companies using the most solar on their facilities in the U.S. The "Top 20" (in terms of on-site solar capacity deployed) are: Walmart (WMT), Costco (COST), Kohl's Department Stores (KSS), IKEA, Macy's (M), McGraw-Hill (MHP), Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), Staples, Inc. (SPLS), Campbell's Soup (CPB), Walgreens (WAG), Bed, Bath & Beyond (BBBY), Toys 'R' Us (TOY), General Motors (GM), FedEx (FDX), White Rose Foods, Dow Jones (DJ), Snyder's of Hanover (LNCE), ProLogis (PLD), Hartz Mountain Industries, and Crayola. See the full report at www.seia.org/SolarTop20. The "Top 20" installations generate a combined estimate of $47.3 million worth of electricity each year.
Other companies that are significant users of solar include Apple, Bloomberg LP, Del Monte Foods, GE, Google, Intel, JC Penny, Kaiser Permanente, Lackland Storage, Lord & Taylor, L'OREAL USA, MARS SNACKFOOD, US Foods LLC, Stop and Shop, Merck, REI, SAS Institute Inc., and Tiffany & CO. "These companies know that solar energy allows them to reliably manage their long-term energy costs and in turn also helps to keep their customer prices low," said SEIA President and CEO Rhone Resch. "Solar helps these top American companies focus on their core business by reducing overhead costs."

I previously asked this Q:
utf8 hebrew on mysql console on debian (via putty on windows)
And managed to get it working by starting mysql with --default-character-set=utf8 and setting putty to show utf8 as well.
Now I need to do the same but on a windows server. The data is again the same but when I start mysql with --default-character-set=utf8 it I see multuple characters where I am supposed to see hebrew.
I think the problem is with the set up of windows cmd console that it does not properly display utf8.
any ideas ?

GARDEN GROVE – The first service at the Crystal Cathedral without a Schuller at the pulpit was reminiscent of a reunion.
Long embraces. Big smiles. Brief, happy exchanges.
"Look who's here!" Sue Neuen said to her husband, Don, as he turned to hug yet another old friend.
"This is the most wonderful experience you can have in church life – to see the crowd and the enthusiasm. I've had tears in my eyes for the last half-hour," said Don Neuen, the cathedral's former minister of music.
Long-time members said they were returning to the church following last week's surprise announcement by Senior Pastor Sheila Schuller Coleman that she would preach elsewhere.
Some long-time congregants had complained about Schuller Coleman's sermons and choice of contemporary music.
"We just went to another church two weeks ago, because we didn't think we could stand it anymore," said Ann Parker, of Chino Hills. "A rock 'n' roll band is not church to me. But now, we will be back."
On Sunday, gone were the drummers and keyboard players. In were the organist, a sermon filled with Biblical references and a 27-member choir, led by the church's former choir director, John Tebay.
John Charles, who recently replaced Shuller Coleman as the chief executive officer, said Sunday's services had more attendance – 500 to 600 people at each – than any in the past year.
"We're on our way," he said.
At least one Schuller was in the audience: Donna Schuller, wife of Robert A. Schuller, who was forced to resign from the family ministry in 2008.
While Schuller Coleman held her first service in a movie theater in Orange Sunday morning, guest Minister Lawrence Wilkes told congregants and tourists gathered at the Crystal Cathedral that this was a new beginning for the ministry.
"Things will never be the way they were. But you know what? They could be better," Wilkes said.
Quoting founder Robert H. Schuller, Wilkes added: "When you are down to nothing, God is up to something."

Sig new owner P238
Took the new P238 to the range today for a quick 100 rounds.
No problems everything smooth really like the firearm.
Have a Springfield XDS which is slightly larger but will use this for concealed carry.
Great to be a new (first time) Sig owner.
Welcome to the forum and enjoy your new firearm! The P238 was my first SIG as well. Simple, reliable and smooth as silk.
Welcome. I have a P238 SAS that has run perfectly. Very accurate, smooth, and reliable. Be safe and have fun with it.
Congrats. I shot mine yesterday for the first time in a long time. I have never had any problems with mine. All makes and weight went through.
Friday took my 238 to the range for first time. 50 rnds with 1 fte. At 7 yards rapid fire got all in a 7 inch group. Report very minimal. Going to wait 6-8 months so thay can fix what alles with the 938 and add it to my collection.
I too would like to add a P938 to my collection but I'm waiting (hoping) for an SAS model to be added to the lineup.
Welcome to SIG Talk from California!!! Congrats on your new SIG!!!

At this morning's Chrism Mass at St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican, Pope Francis told priests to "anoint with the oil of gladness" and said that members of the clergy are "useless" unless they truly find joy in their vocation and happiness within the grace of God. The Chrism Mass is held each year during Holy Week in Catholic dioceses around the world. In Rome, the Chrism Mass is held on the traditional day, Holy Thursday, and at the traditional time, in the morning. The Mass of Chrism traditionally focuses on the priesthood, since Christ instituted the priesthood on Holy Thursday, the day before his suffering and death. Traditionally, all of the priests of a given diocese are present with their bishop as he blesses the sacred oils of anointing-the Sacred Chrism, the oil of Catechumens, and the oil of the Infirm, used to anoint the sick and the dying.
The Pope said that joy in one's priesthood "is a priceless treasure, not only for the priest himself but for the entire faithful people of God."
"I do not think it is an exaggeration to say that the priest is very little indeed: the incomparable grandeur of the gift granted us for the ministry sets us among the least of men. The priest is the poorest of men unless Jesus enriches him by his poverty, the most useless of servants unless Jesus calls him his friend, the most ignorant of men unless Jesus patiently teaches him as he did Peter, the frailest of Christians unless the Good Shepherd strengthens him in the midst of the flock," the Holy Father preaches saying "no one is more 'little' than a priest left to his own devices."
The Pope said that priests should seek the intercessory protection of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and should reflect upon her words in the Magnificat. "I am a priest because he has regarded my littleness, in that littleness we find our joy," said Francis.

All sports have their equipment. Some have more than others. Baseball has a pretty good amount, with each player having at least one glove and each team having a set of bats. Of all the players on the team, the catcher has the most equipment, also known as catcher's gear. Everything he wears is for protective purposes, such as the helmet, chest protector, and leg guards. These are so that his body isn't injured by speeding pitches. Apart from these, he also has a baseball catchers glove, which is one of the more distinct pieces of equipment out on the field.
Before further discussion, it is important to know the difference between gloves and mitts. Often, people interchange the words "glove" and "mitt", but they are actually referring to two different pieces of equipment. A glove is characterized by having fingers. In many gloves, you can actually see the finger divisions. Often, gloves have net or woven pockets. This makes it easier for fielders to catch the ball because even if they put the gloves in front or above their faces, they can see through the weaving. Mitts, on the other hand do not have fingers and sometimes their pockets are not woven, as in the case of the catcher.
Baseball catchers gloves are actually mitts. Along with the first basemen, only catchers are allowed to use mitts. Catchers mitts are characterized by the thick padding on the circumference of the mitts, the area of the pocket, and the palm and finger area. This gives them better control over balls that don't hit the pocket. It also makes it easier for the catcher to pick up ground balls.
The characteristics of a catcher's mitt makes them genuine game savers. While the skill of the catcher counts a great deal as well, the mitts give the player the advantage s/he needs to do his job well. Remember, a large part of the game involves the catcher making the right call for a pitch and catching that pitch. The mitt's padding makes this easier to do, especially for hard to reach balls, making them invaluable out on the field.
There are so many baseball brands available these days that it can actually be quite a challenge to choose the right baseball catchers gloves for you or your child. Most brands are reliable, and are great for new ball players. Other, more expensive brands, build their gloves and mitts to last a lifetime. Some of the more popular brands include Louisville, Rawlings, Wilson, Mizuno, Nokona, and Easton Catchers, but there are plenty more!

In Ubuntu Desktop, there's a command to logout immediately, and the user can execute it without being at the login shell:
$ gnome-session-quit --logout --no-prompt
Q. What is the equivalent command in Ubuntu Server, if any?
(I'm aware that
logout at a non-login shell is not allowed, but perhaps there's a different command. The preferred solution logs out gracefully instead of e.g., killing daemons.)

London Fashion Week - Trends to Miss and Trends to Embrace!
This entry was posted on February 21, 2013.
If you've been staying up to date on the latest trends that are making their mark on the runway and perhaps even into your wardrobe later this season, what do you think? Are they mostly fashion musts or fashion must -nots? We'll leave that up to you to decide and in the mean time we'd like to introduce you to some of the trends that are being seen on the runway. We'd also like to warn you that some of these trends are not pleasant, but some of them are! Whatever the case may be many of these trends remind us of spring time and since it's been so chilly outside as of late (well, at least in California), we embrace these spring trends and can't wait to incorporate them into our daily ensembles (hair extensions from Perfect Locks included)!
Polo Necks (Are Not that Hot):
Roll necks, aka polo necks were seen everywhere on the runway. This trend isn't very attractive in our opinion, even if you may be able to detach the roll neck from your top (as seen on Victoria Beckham's AW13 NY catwalk). The good news is that polo necks are excellent for layering - they look great underneath a tee or casual shift depending on your preference, but generally polo necks aren't that attractive looking. What do you think?
Perfectly Pink (Oh So Pretty):
For you pink lovers out there pink is another fierce commodity that was seen everywhere during London Fashion Week. We're not sure about only wearing pink though, like John Rocha demonstrated when he sent a model wearing an array of pinks out on the runway. Pink most definitely is a gorgeous color to wear any season, however, so we say that pink is a trendy color that never goes out of style.
Elegant Skirts with Length (Yes, Please!):
If you love the beach or simply enjoy covering up your legs, long flowing skirts that are full and flared are simply eye catching and comfy too. If you go to work in an office on a daily basis you may be happy to discover that pencil skirts that are both comfy and professional looking dominated the catwalk and there was just enough pizazz added to them too with their exposed zippers and leather A-Line pleats. Skirts never go out of style!
Big Beanies (No, Thanks):
Big beanies did not catch our fancy when they were seen during AW13. They were seen during Victoria Beckham's AW13 line and Cara Delevingne at Sister by Sibling. Find this trend already on ASOS.com if you really like it. However, we feel this trend is a little too loud and not very attractive. If y0u'd like to stay warm then perhaps this trend is for you, that is if the beanies doesn't take over your head first. Invest in a big boyfriend cable knit beanie and head to the mountains - no doubt the beanie will keep you very warm. ;)

I love the simplicity of using ASP.NET WebAPI for building simple web rest services. No special calls to create JSON, simple REST conventions implemented with the methods GET,POST,PUT and DELETE and very straight forward interfaces. The thing that annoys me is the naming convention. In my case, I've create a folder /rest on my web server and I put all my WebAPI controllers there. An example of a controller looks as follows: [crayon-576ea85bb554f343616632/] The problems comes up when you decide you want to have a different FAQ controller for different parts of the web site. The obvious solution is to drop the REST services into sub directories. Unfortunately, since the class name above does not … Continue Reading

WebAPI REST Routing For AngularJS and ExtJS
As most of my readers know, I've done a lot of work with the JavaScript libraries made by Sencha (ExtJS and SenchaTouch). The typical JSON sent down to the requesting web application looks like the following with both Sencha products. { "data": [ { "shirtSize": "Mens-4XL", "id": 30 }, { "shirtSize": "Mens-5XL", "id": 31 }, { "shirtSize": "Mens-6XL", "id": 32 } ], "total": 34, "success": true } Notice that it is a single JavaScript object that has a property named data which is the array we are interested in. AngularJS's Resource api expects just the data array by default without the nice wrapping with total and status. That is, Angular just … Continue Reading
Tuples In C#, A Useful Example
Background Last year I worked consulted with a company that had an engineer that used tuples in C# and tried to explain to me how they were useful. To be honest, I never quite saw the value proposition (until today). I remember he kept saying they were kind of like key value pairs but could go beyond that. I remember those words but never internalized that. The Example My example is a simple one. I'm currently working on providing data to an external application that will provide business intelligence (help with session selection) to the Silicon Valley Code Camp web site. The data I'm providing is every mark of interest and plan to attend for every session ever given at code camp (that's 220,000 … Continue Reading
LINQ tricks for performance (LINQ2SQL Old School)
I'm working quite a bit on the new Silicon Valley Code Camp site these days and introducing lots of new ways to view sessions. Much of this code I've written over 8 years ago, long before I had so many tricks in my bag. So, one of the things we track is session interest by attendee. To do that we have two tables, SessionAttendee and Sessions. Doing a simple join and count of the number of SessionAttendee records per session pretty much gives us what we need. Basically, we create a dictionary so we can get all the counts at once so that way, just one sql to the database interestCountsDict = (from data in meta.SessionAttendee where data.Interestlevel == 2 group data by … Continue Reading

The Austin Area Art Center has undergone a major shift in the last year going to an all volunteer run organization. Yet that has not stopped them from embracing new marketing methods. What lies ahead for them in the realms of Social Media Marketing?
The Austin Area Art Center has, like many organizations, inducted new members on their board. David Albino, co owner of Chimera Studios, Dustin DeBoer, owner of Solid Rock Photography and photo journalist for the Austin Area Arts Examiner, and Phil Masse, retired IBM and Riverland Community college employee and lifetime photographer, have all joined the art center board. With two new board members having a business background, the art center is undergoing a complete business and marketing development plan. Through it, the board will be seeking member input various means--emails, Facebook, members meetings, surveys, volunteering for various committees and more. There are many ways to be involved if you would like to be involved.
The Austin Area Art Center now has a very active Facebook Fan Page keeping their fans informed about events, times they are test driving to see if they ought to adjust our hours of operation, tips, class updates and links to various related art institutions and events throughout Minnesota. If you are on Facebook, please like them to stay informed!
Facebook is just the start of what the Austin Area Art Center is doing, however. They are also on Twitter! There on Twitter, they are networking with other arts organizations, Walker Arts Institute, MNArtists, Lanesboro Art Gallery, and more. They encourage you to follow them there to stay informed about the bigger arts community throughout southeastern Minnesota and beyond.
Those are the two big names in the social media world to be on. The Art Center did not stop there though! Additionally, they are on Fine Art America and MN Artists.org. Both have with a profile, events, press releases, and galleries that are under construction. On Fine Art America, potentially, they can sell their product to a much bigger audience then they can reach physically. On Fine Art America, they even have a group in which they can run contests to attract other area artist to join them. And then there is the Austin Area Arts Examiner articles as well!

Michael Sam had hit several recent setbacks in trying to join an NFL roster. After the St. Louis Rams cut him and then wouldn't keep him for their practice squad, it looked like Sam would have a long wait to find a new team. However, the Dallas Cowboys have reportedly cut his wait short, as they are bringing him in for a physical on Sept. 3 and have plans to put him on their practice squad, which would put him back on the brink of history.
Sam not only has a new chance to be the first openly gay player in the NFL, he would do it with one of the few teams already used to such media hype and attention. In fact, the Cowboys and owner Jerry Jones thrive on it, which is a very cynical explanation for why they have reached out to Sam. Since Jones had to be talked out of drafting Johnny Manziel, taking the next most talked about player from this year's draft would seem to be the next best thing for him.
A more realistic reason for this move is that the Cowboys need all the defensive help they can get. In fact, it would make it all the more easy for Sam to join the roster at a later date, given that someone is bound to struggle or get hurt at some point. Dallas is one of the worst defensive teams in the NFL, which is one of many reasons why it may not even reach its annual 8-8 record this season.
Despite Sam's success in the preseason with the Rams, they were too crowded on defense to put him on the roster or the practice squad. But even with Sam's deficiencies on the field, they wouldn't stand out as much on an already paper thin defense like the one the Cowboys have.
Nevertheless, this is still a chance for Sam to play for one of the most storied teams in the NFL, if not the most accomplished over the last 15 years. If he does make it, the buzz will help overshadow whatever struggles the Cowboys are going through at the time, which is the biggest kind of win the franchise can get lately.

Self-sustaining biosolids drying
The Class AA product is a source of organic material and nitrogen that is sold in bulk to central Florida's fertilizer industry. The pellets can also be sold as fuel for biomass incinerators. Photos: West Palm Beach Solid Waste Authority
Capable of turning 600 wet tons of sludge into 60 tons of marketable fertilizer every day, Palm Beach County's Resource Recovery Facility is processing 400 wet tons daily. Solid waste and wastewater treatment managers plan to add another 900 scfm by capturing gas from a second landfill.
Palm Beach County's North County Resource Recovery Facility is centrally located, lowering the hauling costs and vehicle emissions between five wastewater treatment plants and the landfill, which owned enough land to house a biosolids drying and pelletizing facility.
The compression system runs 24 hours a day, six days per week, recirculating gas to a continuous pilot that automatically switches back to flaring when the pelletization facility isn't operating.
By Victoria Ludwig
The EPA Office of Water's Part 503 Biosolids Rule (40 CFR, Part 503) regulates the surface disposal of biosolids. The rule imposes numerical standards for 10 metals and operational standards for microbial organisms in biosolids.
Although drying and selling biosolids isn't new, using landfill gas to power dryers is. Since U.S. EPA's Landfill Methane Outreach Program began keeping track in 1997, wastewater and solid waste managers in eight locations across the country have overcome logistical and regulatory barriers to build a mutually beneficial partnership.
In August 2010, Florida's Palm Beach County celebrated its first anniversary as the latest addition to that list.
The county's five wastewater utilities had been land-applying biosolids for two decades, but the practice was in decline because of negative public perception and regulator concern over nutrient runoff into the Lake Okeechobee, Everglades, and Indian River Lagoon water basins. The ground's so saturated during South Florida's rainy season that spreaders bog down in muddy fields.
Wastewater managers wanted a more environmentally sound, longer-term solution to biosolids disposal that complies with U.S. EPA Office of Water Part 503 limits on pollutants and pathogens. (See info box on page 47.) So they approached their cohort at the county's solid waste authority about building a drying and pelletizing operation that would:
Provide an alternative to land application. As defined by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, Class AA biosolids can be distributed and marketed like other commercial fertilizers.
Repurpose an existing energy source. Converting the methane at a landfill, specifically the 41-million-cubic-yard capacity Class I landfill at the county's North County Resource Recovery Facility, rather than flaring it off would reduce dependence on natural gas, reducing operating costs and making the project more economically feasible. A site was available right next to the landfill, which would lower the cost of transporting the gas it generates to the pelletization facility.
Generate an environmentally sound saleable product. The partners would sell the pelletized biosolids to fertilizer manufacturers in central Florida, where they are used as an additive to provide nitrogen and organic matter primarily on pastureland.
Solid waste managers agreed such a facility would provide a long-term, environmentally sound solution without exacerbating water pollution. Engineering consulting firm CDM was hired to permit, design, and build the $25 million pelletization facility, helping to obtain more than $3.25 million in federal and state grants from EPA's State and Tribal Grants program and the South Florida Water Management District.
Using historical data on gas quality and quantity, EPA's free Excel-based Landfill Gas Emissions Model (Land-GEM) software, and their own observations, the managers decided the 1,500 standard cubic feet/minute (scfm) of gas they were flaring would provide enough British thermal units (Btus) to power two 300 ton/day Baker-Rullman Mfg. Inc. dryers.

STANFORD, Calif. - Senior Nnemkadi Ogwumike (Cypress, Texas/Cy-Fair High School) of the Stanford women's basketball team was selected as the Stanford/Muscle Milk Student-Athlete of the Week for the week of Jan. 2-8.
Ogwumike became Stanford's fourth member of the 2,000-Point/1,000-Rebound Club in Saturday's 67-60 win over Oregon State, reaching both milestones in the contest. She joins Jayne Appel (2006-10), Nicole Powell (2000-04) and Val Whiting (1989-93) in the exclusive club.
In Stanford's wins over Oregon and Oregon State last weekend, Ogwumike averaged 32.5 points and 15.5 rebounds and shot 52.0 percent from the field. She posted double-doubles in both contests as well as notching her fourth and fifth 30-point performances of the season.
Saturday, she helped carry Stanford past upset-minded Oregon State, scoring 33 points with 16 rebounds in the win. Two days earlier, Ogwumike went 15-for-21 from the field, scoring 32 points and grabbing 15 rebounds in a 93-70 win over Oregon.
The wins extended Stanford's home winning streak to 71 games, and pushed its winning streak against Pac-12 competition to 61 games.
Ogwumike capped her successful week by being named Bank of the West Pac-12 Player of the Week Monday, the third time this season and seventh in her career that she has earned the honor.
This is Ogwumike's sixth Muscle Milk Student-Athlete of the Week honor and the third for the women's basketball team in the 2011-12 season.
Fourth-ranked Stanford makes its first Pac-12 trip to Utah and Colorado this weekend, opening up with a 6 p.m. PT contest Thursday against the Utes in Salt Lake City. The weekend comes to a close Saturday with a 3 p.m. PT game at Colorado which will be televised on ROOT Sports.
Also nominated: Nick Amuchastegui (Wrestling), Kieran Chung-Wolf (Sailing), Andrew Luck (Football), Lily McElwee (Fencing), David Nolan (Men's Swimming), Chasson Randle (men's basketball), Annemarie Thayer (Women's Swimming).

Rated 4.8 out of 5 by 5 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by ainNY Great Bargain Bought this to use on our deck mainly for use as a prep station for grilling as the side tables on our grill are too small. Delivery was prompt, packaging was slightly damaged but product inside was not other than one very small ding, assembly was easy,put together myself in about 20 minutes total. I did add some locking wheels to the legs from Home Depot to make it easier to move around without having to lift it every time. Quality and appearence are excellent for the purchase price, I would buy this again. Only disappointment is that I see it is priced even lower now from what I paid but still very happy with it. August 4, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by brooks50 Wonderful outdoor side table I had been searching for an outdoor table for our deck, and most options were either too expensive or poorly constructed. This table is affordable, stylish, well crafted, and very easy to assemble. July 15, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by texanlauren I got it on sale && it was worth it I bought this item while it was on sale and I've been using it to hold plants on my patio as planned. It is small, which works well for our area, and its height is comfortable to work on and host plants without them being over/under exposed. When I ordered it online, I prepared for its arrival by buying a spray can of water seal-but per the water seal's instructions and water test, the console table didn't need it-which was a great surprise! June 9, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by chiconni Table exceeded my expectations! Bought this console table for the patio to use as a beverage bar. The table is just the right length, not to long, but not too short. The bottom shelf is very handy. I put baskets with bottles and had more than enough room. The assembly was quick and easy. I also like the look of teak wood that it resembles. Additionally, it is very sturdy. I did spray it with a shellac product to protect it from moisture. But there is no need, as it comes with a nice, smooth finish. When not a beverage bar, it holds potted plants and patio décor. I'm glad I waited to purchase this console table. It looks way more expensive that in the picture. Very happy with this purchase. July 9, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by uscmatador Easy to Assembly - Solid Piece of Outdoor Furniture This console is solid and stable. Assembly took less than 10 minutes and has enough surface area for several dishes/containers. It will definitely come in handy. August 6, 2014

For the second year in a row, "A Night of Blues" will help to raise funds to support the annual May Ride, a fundraising event for Operation Home Front San Diego. The evening will feature local artists Trisha St. George and The Robin Henkel Band as the music takes center stage at the Pathways Community Church Annex. A Night of Blues, which takes place on Saturday, February 8, at 9608 Carlton Hills Blvd. in Santee, is presented by Santee Coffee Corner and hosted by local radio personality Clint August.
The May Ride was started in 2002 by August as a way of giving back to the members of the military through Operation Home Front, which provides assistance to service members and their families. From a small beginning of just over $1500, the May Ride has grown to providing over $15,000 to support the troops in 2012 and just over $14,000 last year. An avid motorcycle rider in addition to his on-air duties at 101KGB, August has organized numerous rides to help local charities.
"May Ride provides money and assistance to our troops and their families while they do the most important job on the planet," said August. "It allows them to focus on the task at hand, which is getting home safely to their families."
The first Night of Blues in January 2013 drew nearly 100 supporters, including legendary radio host Shotgun Tom Kelly. St. George opened the night, and Robin Henkel and fellow bluesman Billy Watson then carried the audience through a stellar evening of music. The event is the brainchild of another member of the San Diego radio family, Christopher Carmicheal – himself a veteran. This year Henkel and Watson will be joined by Whitney Shay as The Robin Henkel Band. It promises to be another night of great blues.
"This event (A Night of Blues) helps raise money for some of the smaller costs of May Ride, so when we do May Ride every bit of that money that's raised can go toward the troops," August explained. "There is some cost to the May Ride, so this allows us to put that money toward the troops instead of the costs."
Opener St. George has a long and varied background that not only includes her musical career but time in the U.S. Coast Guard and a stint as a magician's assistant. Her music tends toward Classic Americana, and her 2013 appearance included standards by Johnny Mercer and hoagie Carmichael, Duke Ellington and Frank Sinatra.
Guitarist Henkel is a long-established blues player who has appeared with such legends as John Hammond, Jimmy Witherspoon and Papa John Creach. In 2000 his album "Highway" won Best Blues CD at the San Diego Music Awards. Harmonica virtuoso Watson heads his own group, the International Silver String Submarine Band, described as "an improvisational, all-star cast of musicians." He is also a regular sideman with Henkel and other blues artists. Shay, a San Diego native and graduate of San Diego State University, has become known as the "little girl with a big voice." Her debut album "Soul Tonic" features guest performances from jazz flautist Holly Hoffman, Mitch Manker of the Ray Charles Orchestra, and blues guitarist Nathan James.
The doors open at 5:30 p.m. and Tricia St. George takes the stage at 6:00 p.m. This is a family event, and admission is a suggested $10 donation per person, although August admits that they will gladly accept more to help the troops.
"It's right here in Santee and it doesn't matter about the weather," said August. "It's a gritty, back-alley kind of blues, and I love it."
