also what is this?
they make a like eliminator kit? does that plug leave the axle connected at all times?
This is a discussion on thermal linear actuator questions within the Offroad forums, part of the General Discussion category; i got an 88 chevy for a project and the transfercase engauges in 4x4 but the front axle doesnt seem ...
i got an 88 chevy for a project and the transfercase engauges in 4x4 but the front axle doesnt seem to
what do you know about the thremal linear actuators
i took the actuator out and it moved (maybe an inch how much should they move?) when koeo with the lever in 4wd
the wires too it were a lil damaged so i cut out the damaged wire and crimp connected them
also theres a 3 wire connector going into the diff above it idk what that does tho one wire to that was damaged so i fixed that wire aswell
what are the three wires going into the axel right above it...????
im guna try to get a wiring diagram but any info would help
EDIT* my dad and i were messing with it just now and we got it to engauge the lights indicating it was in 4x4 at least which wasnt happing earlier
it would only light up in drive or reverse not neutral or park is that normal?
so i go to drive it to see if its really in 4x4 and it wasnt and the lights went out
idk wtf is going on any ideas?

Here you go, a whole lot easier and dead reliable.
Just find the Electric one off a 95+ truck(make sure it's electric since someone could have took swapped the Thermal on onto a newer truck) Just get the Actuator and the plug that plugs into it,then you will have to splice one wire into the T-case. that sensor above the Actuator is the 4wd light indicator that will light the floor shifter light up when in 4.

black body lift the 3 wire connector above the TLA is just for the light?
so even with this thing moving you guys think it could not be engauging
if i get a junk yard on off a 95+ what exactly am i splicing a wire to the tcase for? the sensor on the tcase is just a speed sensor is it or is there something on the t case that tells the TLA to engauge?
the cable kit looks pretty cool but im scared to spend too much money on this truck its got alota problems nd im not sure how much i wanna dump into it/if it will be worth it

Okay I hope I can clear some things up for you.
First this is what your axle should look like
Notice the large one is your Actuator, and the small one is your 4WD indicator. That's what your sensor should look like.
Now this is the Actuator you want to get,I say get it from a junk yard WITH the Harness because if you don't it will get kinda spendy.
Now for the wire to splice into the T-case I have been trying to dig the Thread up about it but can't seem to find it. But this will help show it needs to be spliced.
That is a link to the Harness you could buy to install the new actuator,Notice the one wire that's seperate,you need to take the brown wire(not positive) but if my memory isn't ****ing with me it's brown, then run that to the T-case and splice into a sensor(there should be 2 in the t-case) I did it on my '94 but I sold the damn thing so I can't go look at it to help.
I hope that cleared some up!

If the 4x4 isnt working. Jack up the truck all the way around (used jackstand) and have somebody put the lever in 4x4.
Then unscrew the acuator and use a exension of a socket. Have the person put it in Drive and 4x4 and just idle it. Then take the extension and push the cup in to see if the collar engages. Then you at least know the front diff is workin.
I bought a kit to convert my 94 to an electric actuator with a jumper harness. I wanna say it was around $100, but well worth it.

Hey woody, where'd u buy the kit? I got a 94 that wont engage and dont want to f around with the thermal anymore
I've been looking into mine which is slow to actuate. Looks like the thermal jobies are on the trucks up to '97. My '97 is thermal and can take about 30 seconds to engage in the winter. When I start building it, I'll switch to the motor driven actuator.

Thanks Brad519 for the sig!
There ya go, that's just the actuator.
there is the harness to wire it into your truck.
Also, the Electric actuator came in 1995 and newer trucks, My '96 has one(wasn't added on) and a friends '95 has one also.

Just to muddy the waters, so to speak...
My 96 had the thermal actuator. I had it swapped out to the newer "electric" motor actuator - one hell of an improvement.
If you go to GM parts direct, they list one actuator for 88-96 and show a different actuator for 97-00. Rock Auto also shows different actuators for 96 & 97.
Good Luck!

What will i need to do if i have a 94' with a thermal, to be able to run the electric?
My 97 has a thermal actuator and that service bulletin I posted says they came on trucks through 1997. I wonder why/if some got the better unit and what were the criteria/option codes that got it.

"The Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Kandi Burruss is no stranger to drama after this season, as her mother was more than outspoken in regards to Kandi's future wedding to Todd Tucker. She didn't hide her feelings and many were shocked that Joyce would stand in the way of her daughter's happiness, just because Todd wasn't a millionaire. According to a new Radar Online report published on Jan. 3, "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Kandi Burruss' mother is now revealing that she is very upset about how she was portrayed on the show and may not be returning to the show.
Apparently, Joyce is super upset with the way she was portrayed on the show, especially in regards to her judging Kandi's home with all of the pictures of Todd. Joyce claims that her comments were not even about the pictures, but that producers made it out to be like that. "That upset me so bad," Mama Joyce has revealed. "When they showed the scene of me walking into the house and seeing all the pictures of Todd on the wall I was not talking about his pictures!"
But one thing is certain; she still isn't a fan of Carmon. "I know Kandi had a decorator, her friend Carmon – and she put up all those pictures of Todd when he was a little boy," she recalled. "I said, 'Now that's a damn shame,' and what I really said was that shouldn't be all him up there (on the wall). That shouldn't be his wall. I said there were no picture of Riley or me. I didn't just say there should be a picture of me. "
Apparently, this has hurt her feelings to the point where she doesn't want to be on the show in the future. "I would never have agreed to it," she lamented. "I am very upset about what they did and I don't know if I'll be back on the show." Do you think the show could have been edited so much that Joyce was made out to be the villain? Or do you think she is trying to save her image?

Best GF ballpark we've ever been to, good number of safe options for celiacs
The bun came right out of the plastic, so no cross-contamination. Taste was pretty good. My biggest issue was that the stand was a bit hidden and I walked past it several times before finding it.
GF Hotdogs and beer (redbridge). Pretty good for a baseball park. GF pizza that's cooked in the same oven as regular pizzas. They call it gluten friendly pizza.
Redbridge Is NOT BEER!!!!! It's possible in a bottle. OMISSION BEER is the one gluten free beer that tastes like beer!!!! It's SO close to Sam Adams Light its not funny...which, in turn, belongs at Fenway.... ENOUGH SAID.. AND THOSE WITH CELIAC DISEASE THAT LOVD THEIR BEER KNOW WHERE IM COMING FROM!
gluten free station with hot dogs. hallelujah. udis rolls
Fenway GF pizza is served on same are as gluten containing pizza - I would not eat it. GF stand has limited food. Fenway can and should do so much more to provide GF options. Very disappointing. I would be happy to show Fenway / Aramark how to do it right.
Good selection. Hot dogs, Whoopie Pies, cookies, brownies, chips, frozen lemonade. Very convenient.
Gf cheese pizza...actually really good!
One hot dog cart does not make Fenway gluten free friendly! They have a long way to go!
redbridge and gluten free hot dogs and buns. It's a start.

The California Energy Commission has approved funding to advance development of a "microgrid" and expand electric vehicle charging at the University of California, San Diego.
The commission approved a $1.6 million award to increase its previously awarded funding of $1.39 million for the university's electric microgrid.
The commission also approved funding of $220,554 to expand the campus' burgeoning charging network for plug-in electric vehicles, through its Alternative and Renewable Fuel and Vehicle Technology Program, created by Assembly Bill 118.
"The return on this investment extends far beyond the San Diego campus," said Energy Commission Chair Robert B. Weisenmiller. "It provides a crucial real-life demonstration of technology that can help to provide California a future of clean, sustainable and reliable energy."
The microgrid award is funded through the commission's research and development program. The total commission funding for the amended agreement is $2.99 million.
The university is providing an additional $1.52 million in matching funds. These funds will go toward, in part, analyzing multiple stand-alone energy storage technologies to further improve the microgrid.
San Diego County-based Alternative Energy Systems Consulting Inc. will receive the Energy Commission's award of $220,554 to purchase and install eight dual RWE Level 2 eStation Smart Systems, providing 16 charging outlets. This also includes the installation and assessment of the performance of three publicly accessible RWE DC fast chargers.
UCSD campus sees its first public electric vehicle charging stations

College Hockey:Tigers Rally Past Mavericks
Tigers Notch Four Power-Play Goals
MANKATO, Minn. — When Minnesota State's opponents get their power play working against the Mavericks, the goals usually come in bunches.
Colorado College scored four times on its power play, three times in the second period, en route to a 4-3 Western Collegiate Hockey Association victory over the Mavericks at the Alltel Center in front of a 4,797 people.
CC's three power-play goals in the second marked the third time this season an opponent has scored three power-play goals in a period against MSU, all occurrences coming in the Mavericks' three losses.
The Tigers overcame a 1-0 first-period deficit and third-period comeback by the Mavericks to get their first road win of the season and salvage a split in Mankato.
"It was a good character building type of game for us tonight," said CC forward Eric Walsky. "Everyone showed up and played very hard."
The Mavericks took the early lead, scoring just 16 seconds into the first period when Zach Harrison shot from the top of the right circle and Jerad Stewart tipped the puck past Richard Bachman for his second goal of the season.
The Mavericks seemed to take a 2-0 lead early in the second, but their goal was waved off due to contact with the goaltender before the puck reached the crease.
"Obviously we had a good break on the disallowed goal," said CC head coach Scott Owens. "That was probably the turning point of the game. I think it deflated them more than it got us going but that's a big part of the game. With these low-scoring games, that's huge."
Minutes after the disallowed goal, Jason Wiley was called for a tripping penalty to give CC its second power play of the game. Wiley's penalty was the first of three for the Mavericks in the second period, and the Tigers converted on all of them.
Chad Rau took a pass in the slot from Walsky and beat Mike Zacharias over his left shoulder with a wrist shot to tie the game at 5:36, and Scott McCulloch fired a shot on net from just in front of the right dot that went through Zacharias' pads at 9:39 for the 2-1 lead.
Bill Sweatt gave the Tigers a 3-1 lead when he tipped in Brian Connelly's shot from the point at 19:08.
"That's eight goals in the last three games [for our power play]," Owens said. "And we needed it because we didn't score a five-on-five goal this weekend."
Down two in the third, the Mavericks started chipping away. Mike Louwerse scored his sixth goal of the season on a five-on-three advantage at 7:29 when he one-timed a pass on the doorstep from Mick Berge.
Rylan Galiardi scored his first goal of the season minutes later to tie the game with 10:46 to play, but CC bounced one off Channing Boe's skate and in for the game-winner, on yet another power play at 11:08. Walsky shot a centering pass from the side of the net, but the puck hit off Boe's skate and went in before a CC player could put their stick on it.
"It wasn't a matter of the kill not doing a good job," said MSU head coach Troy Jutting. "They just got the bounce off Boe's skate and they got two goals that we normally don't give up. To give up that kind of a goal, it's a tough way to lose."
Bachman made 18 saves in the game, winning his sixth game of the season. Zacharias stopped 19 shots.
"Zacharias is a good goaltender and this is a good team," Owens said. "I'm just happy to get away with two points."
MSU (5-3-2, 3-3-2 WCHA) continues conference play next weekend in an away series against Michigan Tech, while CC (7-2-3, 5-2-1) will travel to Alaska-Anchorage.

You've heard of them, you've seen them being used all around you. tablets play music, videos and games. Tablets are used for reading, web-browsing as well as various other media related activity. But should a tablet be your instrument of choice for classroom or business purposes? Do you know all of what a tablet can do for you here at UCO? In February 2012 the Office of Information Technology began on-going studies involving tablet computing and it's potential usage on the campus of the University of Central Oklahoma, with a special emphasis on the relationship of tablet computing and People With Disabilities.
A dedicated and relentless team of 16 students, staff and faculty tested 5 different brands of tablet computers within the UCO environment. Taskforce members tested all UCO services including e-mail, WebCT, UCONNECT, Banner and Desire2Learn. Taskforce members then documented all challenges and solutions for the development of an OIT customer support model for tablet computing. Not a challenge for the weak of heart!
We invite you to explore the world of tablets and what they can do for you. And, although UCO does not recommend or endorse one particular type or style of tablet, please check out our tablet comparison results for information that may help you in your decision to purchase a tablet.
UCO is committed to being on the cutting edge of technological advances and will continue to explore how to best support the tools you decide to use during your time as a member of the UCO community.

I expected a response to my concern that I mailed in on my renewal form. I repeat: I, amongst many others my age and over 70, have loved MORE until all we saw when articles recommended and suggested aid in different areas of our lives were age ranges that NEVER included 70 and over. Does that mean NO HELP FOR YOU ALL--YOU ARE TOO OLD??? Thus, choose not to renew unless we are guaranteed inclusion in articles for our age--70 and over.

Thank you for this well-written, comprehensive article that addresses so many of the emotional aspects that siblings face in caring for our aging parents ("Quibbling Siblings"). I am responsible for my parents and my mother-in-law--they all live on our property and their health conditions vary. I have three siblings, all male living 1,000 miles away. The challenges are great. Your article validated as well as helped me understand why I have the feelings I do and what I can do to face them in a healthy manner.

How is Chelsea Handler empowering to women? The only reason she is famous is that she slept with a powerful man she used to become famous. What kind of message does that send to women?
She wrote a book about casual sex and one-night stands. She encourages casual sex, drinking alcohol in excess and makes jokes about drug use and sexually transmitted infections. She has the audacity to put down another woman—a mother no less—when she herself is a prostitute screwing her way to the top for money. I am beyond disappointed that you would feature this disgusting and classless person in More magazine.
I am very disappointed that you would choose a 37-year-old cover subject for this month's magazine. The reason I subscribe to your magazine is to read about women who are actually over 40 and full of "style and substance." There have been months when I felt the ad models have been too young, but the cover—seriously? Are we out of mature women of style and substance to feature on the cover? I have liked every issue until this one. Let people like Chelsea be on Cosmo or the Sports Illustrated bikini issues, but please, not here. We need pioneering women over 40 (preferably over 45) to lead the way for the rest of your readership. Don't flaunt a young thing playing on a child's rocking horse as someone we're supposed to look up to or emulate. I think of her more as someone I used to babysit, not look up to! Thanks.

I like the ads for different means of disguising wrinkles. I am 56 and have a few wrinkles around my mouth and chin. (I do not smoke.) When I was younger, everyone said I looked young for my age, then all of a sudden I wake up and look old. Wrinkles everywhere! I hated to look at myself in the mirror, let alone have anyone else see me. It took me a couple of years to accept (not totally) the wrinkles. In the last few years, we have been through several deaths in our family, lost half of our crop two years in a row (we farm) and had my mother living with us for a year. (Bless my husband!) So now I figure I have earned those wrinkles and have better accepted them. Don't get me wrong; I still look for better ways of looking younger (no Botox or surgery for me), but now I go on with a better understanding of growing older. I hope you have a wonderful day!
--Deb Lanter
I recently canceled my subscription to More magazine because I was tired of the airbrushing, Botox ads, spreads of clothes that I couldn't afford worn by models who looked anorexic (and much younger than 40) and constant tips on how to look younger. Then you zapped me with the May 2012 edition! It is the best edition in a long, long time. I loved the feature on one of my all-time favorite singers (and hero), Bonnie Raitt. Also, the Fierce List was terrific: I was born in the U.K., and Queen Elizabeth II is always in my heart. The other women featured in that article are all amazing and wonderful.
Thank you for an outstanding issue. I will now renew my subscription.

AN/CPS-1 Microwave Early Warning (MEW) Radar
The AN/CPS-1 Microwave Early Warning (MEW) radar deployed in time for D-Day on the south coast of England was a vast improvement over previous ground-based radar networks. Not only did it detect enemy aircraft and Buzz Bombs, but it was extremely effective at guiding Allied combat aircraft to both air and ground targets with a precision that could only have been dreamed of during the Battle of Britain.

The hardest meal to plan for during the day for me is breakfast. I don't know why, that's just the way it is. One day while pondering what to do for breakfast, a box of Alber's Quick Grits were discovered in the pantry. On the side of the box was a recipe for a Grits and Sausage Bake. It looks tasty and easy enough, so I got to cooking.
The recipe follows: 3 cups of water, 3/4 cups of the grits, 2 cups of shredded sharp cheddar cheese - divided, 2/3 cup of condensed milk, 1/4 tsp. garlic powder, 1/4 tsp. ground black pepper, 1/8 tsp hot pepper sauce, 1 lbs bulk pork sausage cooked and drained, and 2 large eggs lightly beaten.
I did a modification the the recipe when I made it. Instead of a pound of sausage, I used a can of corned beef hash and didn't include the garlic powder, black pepper or the hot sauce. The milk I used was powdered milk instead of the condensed milk.
The directions to make this dish were:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease an 8-inch square baking dish.
Bring water up to a boil in a medium saucepan; slowly stir in the grits. Cover and reduce the heat to low. Cook; stirring occasionally for 5 to 6 minutes.
Add 1 1/2 cups of cheese, the milk, seasonings sauce to gits, stir until the cheese is melted and add the sausage and eggs. Stir well. Pour into the prepared baking dish.
Bake for 1 hour. Top with remaining cheese and bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and golden brown. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
This meal is what I had for four breakfasts and found it to be quite filling. A 1/6th of the pan makes a serving and it lasted a good four hours for me with a busy schedule. The corned beef hash would have been better had I browned it first I think. I did add extra cheese as a topping because I love cheese. To make a balanced meal of it, add in a fruit bowl of your choice. This recipe was good enough that I look forward to making it again even for a potluck.

Thiensville - Even as a boy, Willard Riemer had plants on the mind. Little did he know at age 8, when he made a corsage for a cousin's bridal shower, it was the start of his career.
"It was my hobby," Riemer recalled, "flowers and shrubbery and trees."
With some imagination and a little entrepreneurial spirit, Riemer opened his own flower shop, Riemer's Flowers, in his hometown of Thiensville in 1972, through which he has channeled the area's collective salutations, apologies, professions of love, and sorrow - written in the leaves and pedals and barbs of arrangements as varied as the flora of a summer day.
"You can be creative," Riemer said from his workbench, poring over a holiday arrangement, clippers in hand. "No matter what the occasion, flowers say something to everybody."
Right: Riemer works on a floral arrangement during the runup to the holiday season.
At 72, Riemer has said quite a bit over the years with his flowers. He recalls making arrangements for baby showers, dances, graduations and weddings - on more than one occasion, for the same people as they grew up.
Even when the pressure of running the business took its toll, when in the early days of their business his wife was taking their then 18-month-old daughter along on deliveries, it was worth it to pursue his passion.
And when their daughters Julie and Jayne married, Riemer of course provided the flowers, outdoing himself with magnificent displays of hanging baskets, floral arches, elegant bouquets, and greenery exploding out of the cakes themselves.
"The highlight of my life," said Riemer, gazing at the framed wedding pictures of his family amid the flowers.
The flowers and frames will soon be gone from 136 N. Main Street.
Riemer's Flowers will close its doors for the last time in January, after the Thiensville Village Board voted in September to purchase the lot and raze the building to make way for economic development.
Yet, that doesn't mean Riemer is putting the shears away for good. He'll be starting soon in the flower department at Frenz Orchard and Garden Center.
"I'm happy to continue working on the same street," Riemer said, "just four blocks north."
And maybe at the new job he'll be able to relive one of the best moments of his career, when after relocating to Thiensville from a shop on Silver Spring, one of his old customers, having called shop after shop in the Milwaukee area, finally called the right one and instantly recognized Riemer's German accent.
"I've found you!" Riemer recalled her shouting through the phone. "I've found you! I've found you!"

Drill Claw
this wiki
The Drill Claw (ドリルクロー Dorirukurō?) is a move performed by Knuckles the Echidna. It first appeared in Sonic Adventure 2 and Sonic Adventure 2: Battle, where Tikal also could perform this move, and later returned in Sonic Advance 2 and Sonic Advance 3. It is an offensive spinning drop that the user attack his opponents with. It is the equivalent to Rouge the Bat's Drill Drive.
To use the Drill Claw, the user must be placed in midair, be it from a jump or from gliding in air. When performing the Drill Claw, the user will then whirl directly down through the air while spinning, with his/her fists pointing downward and will damage any enemy the user comes in contact with below him/her. This is similar to the Spiral Upper.
Game appearances
Sonic Adventure 2 and Sonic Adventure 2: Battle
The Drill Claw first appeared in Sonic Adventure 2 and Sonic Adventure 2: Battle, where the player can perform it by pressing the B button while the playable character is in midair. If the user (In Knuckles' case he must possess the Shovel Claws) makes contact with dig-able ground while performing the Drill Claw, the user will automatically perform Dig. The performance of the Drill Claw can also be stopped before reaching the ground, allowing the user to either fall normally or resume the Glide, making the Drill Claw a good way for the user to quickly descend while gliding. In both versions, Knuckles' Drill Claw can be enhanced with the Hammer Gloves, which allows him to break iron craters. When performing the Drill Claw in these games, Knuckles will dive down so fast that he leaves afterimages.
Sonic Advance 2
In Sonic Advance 2, Knuckles can perform Drill Claw by pressing the B button while he is in midair or by performing his downward directed Mid-Air Trick Action by pressing down on the D-pad and the R button on the same time. In this game, however, Knuckles' fists will be engulfed in flames when drilling towards the ground.
Sonic Advance 3
The Drill Claw made another appearance in Sonic Advance 3. In this game, however, Knuckles must have Amy Rose as his partner, meaning Knuckles must be the character the player controls, and Amy serves as the character that follows the controlled character. With Amy's influence, Knuckles can perform the Drill Claw by pressing down on the D-pad and the B button on the same time. The appearance of the move in this game is the same as in Sonic Advance 2.

Classes will resume Friday at Chardon High School near Cleveland, four days after a 17-year-old was accused of shooting five students in one of the worst U.S. school shootings of the past several years.
The suspect, T.J. Lane, told police that he did not target his victims when he fired 10 shots from a .22-caliber pistol that killed three students and injured two others. "He chose his victims at random," Geauga County prosecutor David Joyce said Tuesday following the suspect's first court appearance.
Lane's family had a history of sometimes violent conflict, court records show. Lane himself was charged with assault in 2009 after a fight involving his uncle, according to a police report obtained by Gannett's WKYC-TV in Cleveland. Lane told police he thought his uncle had attacked his brother, and Lane came to his brother's aid. The uncle, however, said he was the victim.
Lane's father has been convicted twice of assaulting women with whom he had children. The first happened in 1997 when Thomas Lane was charged with attacking T.J. Lane's mother. He was convicted of assault and resisting arrest, according to court records.
Unfortunately Violence and Violent acts, random or not, are apart of our world today. Whether it's from a child or an adult, violence occurs every day and must be handled correctly and professionally.

Oni Press the publisher of Joshua Fialkov and Joe Infunari's "The Bunker" announced on February 14, 2014 that the critically acclaimed first issue has sold-out at the distributor level.

Jermichael Finley Fantasy Injury Update: Will the Packers Tight End Miss Next Weekend's Game?
Green Bay Packers tight end Jermichael Finley may miss this weekend's contest with a shoulder injury. (Photo: REUTERS)
Fantasy owners who were relying on multiple members of the high-flying Green Bay Packers offense to lead them to a championship may have to scramble for replacements over the next few weeks.
First, wide receiver Greg Jennings missed this past Sunday's game while recovering from a groin injury. Then, running back Cedric Benson and tight end Jermichael Finley each left Sunday's contest with injuries of their own.
Benson had to be carted off the field after hurting his foot, and he has already been ruled out of this weekend's matchup, according to head coach Mike McCarthy.

But for Finley owners, the news is a little better. The tight end told the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel that he plans to play against the Houston Texans despite his shoulder ailment.
"I'll be playing next week, for sure," Finley said. "I can feel it. I know if I'm hurt or not. "I just didn't want to risk it going into the game and reinjuring it. I'll be back in Houston for sure."
McCarthy, however, seemed a little less optimistic. The coach told reporters that Finley "has a chance" to play on Sunday night, according to Jason Wilde of ESPN Milwaukee.

Even when he has been healthy, Finley has been having a somewhat disappointing season by fantasy standards. The tight end is still struggling with drops and has just 22 receptions and one touchdown on the season.
Thus, even if Finley is fully healthy on Sunday, you should consider upgrading your roster at the position.
One potential option is Finley's division rival, Kyle Rudolph. Rudolph is still available in nearly 66 percent of NFL.com leagues despite scoring four touchdowns in five games this season. He also has an accurate quarterback in Christian Ponder and is the team's second-leading receiver behind Percy Harvin.
You also could look to a pair of tight ends on bad teams. Scott Chandler has four touchdowns in five games and plays for a Bills team that will likely be playing from behind a lot.
Meanwhile, Tennessee's Jared Cook has 237 yards in five games and faces several below-average pass defenses in the rest of the season, including the Green Bay Packers, Miami Dolphins, Buffalo Bills, and Jacksonville Jaguars (twice). With Chris Johnson struggling to get going, the Titans will likely be passing the ball more than they run it, and Cook is the team's second-leading receiver behind Nate Washington.

Philip Seymour Hoffman, who appears to have died of a drug overdose on Sunday, was found with a huge quantity of heroin, according to a Monday TMZ report. Law enforcement sources told the celebrity website that they found about 50 bags of heroin in Hoffman's New York City apartment.
Initially, the number of bags was put at ten, not a small number for one person, anyway. However, with the number now being set at five times that much, it would appear that Hoffman was ready to binge on the drug.
This makes a Fox News report about Hoffman possibly buying drugs from two men on Saturday night. That purchase was reportedly at an ATM, and investigators are reportedly trying to acquire surveillance video from the bank.
Hoffman was reportedly found in his bathroom in his underwear, with a needle sticking out of his left arm. The actor had struggled with dependency issues in the past, and most recently checked himself into a rehab facility for heroin back in May of 2013.

LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – The Camarillo Fire 2013 (fire map below) aka the Springs Fire continues to advance near Newbury Park. But the latest news update on the Camarillo Fire is positive as of 3:30 PM PST today May 2, 2013.
The Camarillo Fire has advanced but still not destroyed homes. Officials gave the fire multiple names today including the Camarillo Fire, the Camarillo Springs Fire and simply the Springs Fire. But while the smoke continues to blow over Newbury Park, improved weather conditions have helped the situation. Yet, with evening gusts not unusual for Southern California fires, residents are still on alert tonight.
Currently, five hundred firefighters are on scene. Two thousand residents have been evacuated. All their evacuation orders remain in place. The number of acres burned – 6500 – has not been updated by Cal Fire for nearly four hours. News analysts estimate the fire is now close to about 8000 acres burned.
The fire which erupted close to 6 am first began in Camarillo near the 101 freeway. It was fueled with high winds and record temperatures. Camarillo is believed to have set a new record high today at roughly 96 to 97 degrees, breaking an old record of 94 set nine years ago.
The big change is the wind and humidity as we approach 4 pm today. The fire was advancing with a mere two percent humidity earlier this morning. Officials now believe that the humidity levels have jumped dramatically, which is good news.
The beach area is also producing humidity levels of upwards of fifty-percent, also good news in fighting the fire's advance. And finally there is a westerly breeze along the coast tonight. That will push the fire back onto itself as the fire advances over Point Mugu.
The other big change is the winds. A wind advisory has been cancelled. Winds were blowing as much as 70 mph in the mountains earlier today. Now they are at 40 mph through the mountains. Point Mugu Mission essentials teams are still on base. But the rest of the base has been evacuated. Cal State Channel Islands has been evacuated. And their classes are cancelled for tomorrow.
And finally, PCH has completely reopened since 3 pm today. For continuing coverage of the fire, click HERE. Below is a map of the fire's origin shortly after sunrise today and a more recent map at 1:23 PM PST today

Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval and Tesla Motors CEO Elon Musk announced on Thursday that, indeed, the Gigafactory will be located at the Tahoe-Reno Industrial Center just outside Reno, NV. The press conference held in Carson City not only confirmed yesterday's rumors, but Gov. Sandoval claimed the deal would "change Nevada forever" with billions of dollars of economic activity and over 20,000 new jobs.
The Gigafactory will produce 50 gigawatt-hours of battery packs per year, by 2020, which the company says is enough for Tesla Motors to produce 500,000 vehicles per year. This year the guidance from Tesla Motors management is to expect production of 35,000 Model S cars, meaning that over the next 6 years Tesla intends to increase production by over 10x.
This is quite a stretch, and many rightfully express doubts that Tesla Motors will achieve this goal. On the other hand the company has already had huge success making it plausible these production levels will be met. The former NUMMI facility at which Tesla manufactures its cars had a 500,000 car per year capacity when it was operated by GM and Toyota. In June and May 2010 when Tesla and Toyota announced the sale of the NUMMI plant to Tesla, many were wondering what the company would do with such a large factory. Now we know.
The deal has drawn some criticism from watchdog groups who have complained of secrecy surrounding the negotiations, and questioning whether the large investment by Nevada's government (tax incentives) will pay off. As if to answer that criticism, Gov. Sandoval spoke at length about the economic gains Nevada will reap, and claimed the payoff will be about $80 per dollar of incentives. These gains include:
- $100 Billion in economic impact over the next 20 years
- Create 3,000 construction jobs immediately
- Employ 6,500 people, at an average wage of $25 per hour, plus benefits
- Create another 16,000 indirect jobs in other industries
- Add 4% to the states GDP
- Additional research dollars for Nevada's universities, and other educational benefits
- Tesla Motors will directly fund some of Nevada's K-12 educational system
As we see in the artists rendering of the factory, the facility will have interesting environmental features. Tesla claims it will be a "Net Zero Energy" facility, meaning the whole factory will not require external electricity or other power. The rendering includes a huge solar array on the factory roof, as well as a large wind turbine farm on the mountainside above the facility.
A common criticism of electric cars is the energy impact of their manufacturing. By building a "Net Zero Energy" facility, Tesla Motors seems intent on quashing that criticism.
The press release issued by Tesla Motors includes these quotes:
"This is great news for Nevada. Tesla will build the world's largest and most advanced battery factory in Nevada which means nearly one hundred billion dollars in economic impact to the Silver State over the next twenty years. I am grateful that Elon Musk and Tesla saw the promise in Nevada. These 21st century pioneers, fueled with innovation and desire, are emboldened by the promise of Nevada to change the world. Nevada is ready to lead," stated Governor Brian Sandoval.
"I would like to recognize the leadership of Governor Sandoval and the Nevada Legislature for partnering with Tesla to bring the Gigafactory to the state. The Gigafactory is an important step in advancing the cause of sustainable transportation and will enable the mass production of compelling electric vehicles for decades to come. Together with Panasonic and other partners, we look forward to realizing the full potential of this project," said Elon Musk, Chairman and CEO of Tesla Motors.
"On behalf of the State of Nevada, I would like to acknowledge this monumental day and provide my initial support. This is a significant opportunity to make a major stride to improve our statewide economy. I look forward to receiving the necessary information so the Legislature can meet and take necessary action to support this major industry coming to Nevada," stated Speaker Marilyn Kirkpatrick.

Coming soon to downtown Napa's West End: Eiko's Restaurant Napa Valley
We've written several times over the past few years about the continued evolution of downtown Napa–something Wine Spectator has apparently just discovered.
Downtown's West End, which already includes Oenotri, Norman Rose Tavern, Avia and Avia Kitchen, John Anthony Wine Bar and several other establishments is about to get yet another new addition.
In the space formerly occupied by Piccolino's in the Napa Town Center complex, Eiko's Restaurant Napa Valley is getting set to open. On a recent foggy morning we walked past the space and noted the clearly out-dated sign outside (pictured above) indicating the restaurant was scheduled to open on May 2nd.
From the glimpse we were able to get of the interior (photos) as workers moved about it's looking like it'll be at least a couple more weeks before the space is ready for prime time.
In fact, a post on the restaurant's Facebook Page indicates a target opening "in May" and the description says the restaurant will offer "…affordable, modern japanese cuisine. Full bar, sushi bar, indoor fire pit, outdoor dining and comfortable lounge chairs…"
Sounds great to us–downtown is in desperate need of another Japanese option in our opinion.

Reflections on Ecolab's sustainability impact.
Every Friday I read a summary of the week's news relating to water scarcity and its impact on people, industries and economies all over the world. In less than 20 years, the world will need about 40 percent more water than today's accessible supply to maintain food production, generate electricity and provide clean drinking water. From California to Brazil to China, it's very clear that water availability has become a major concern.
At the same time, I also see a growing resolve to transform the way business operates. Our customers are intensely focused on reducing their use of water and other precious natural resources, and all around the world, Ecolab associates are working hard to help them achieve their goals.
The need for action is urgent—and Ecolab has the knowledge and the capabilities to drive positive action. We are on the ground at more than one million customer locations globally, applying our innovative technology, our precise data capabilities and our unmatched service to help our customers do more with less.
Our 1,600 research, development and engineering associates are continuously developing new products and services to further our ability to help our customers, introducing more than 85 new innovative solutions in 2014, our largest pipeline ever. We assess every product we design against our sustainability criteria and we are focused on delivering solutions that use less water and less energy while generating less waste.
The breadth of our business uniquely positions us to help mitigate risks and reduce environmental impacts across the entire value chain, from the processing of raw materials and ingredients, to production and manufacturing, to the delivery of goods and services. From foundational elements to everyday products and experiences, we remain focused on providing and protecting what is vital: clean water, safe food, abundant energy and healthy environments.
In 2014, we strengthened our commitment to do more as a company to minimize our impact on the environment, setting aggressive new goals to reduce water, energy, effluent and waste across our global operations. Holding our company to higher standards, we deployed a global initiative to improve operational efficiency and performance so that we can make significant strides toward our sustainability goals in 2015.
Last year we also launched Solutions for Life, our global giving program. Solutions for Life enhances our mission to conserve water and improve hygiene around the world through collaborations with NGOs, global philanthropy and employee volunteerism. It's another way we can leverage our resources and expertise to conserve water where we live and work.
Ultimately it is the ability of our associates to solve problems, their commitment to serving our customers and their belief in our purpose that makes Ecolab a powerful force for positive change. Our company was built on our dedication to finding the answers to complex problems. Today, we have even more important problems to solve for our customers. And our people are showing every day that they are up to the challenge. We are proud of the work we do to help ensure a future where businesses, the environment and society can thrive.
Douglas M. Baker, Jr.
Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer
Ecolab Chairman and CEO Doug Baker's keynote address at the Executives' Club of Chicago in May of 2013.
Ecolab is the global leader in water, hygiene and energy technologies and services. Every day, we help make the world cleaner, safer and healthier – protecting people and vital resources.

Quote of the day
From there on out, Morrison's rapidly intensifying crunch of information and characters starts making the book exciting in its rush forward. Ex-Monitor Nix Uotan is tossed in a room for being immune to Anti-Life, but his drawings of superhero characters remind us that even the worst revisions can be undone, and hope is possible! Two pages later a man solves a puzzle cube and villains' skin vaporizes!--Jog on Final Crisis #5. I lost it at "hhn."
Wait - now Libra is killing people and commenting on sexual violence toward superheroines. Lex Luthor is pissed! Ok, now we're in an evil throne room and dudes are spoiling the next issue of Batman and keeling over stone dead! That's what you get! Shit! Now Darkseid is God! Oh fuck! Frankenstein's quoting Milton! Wait! Now time is falling apart! The President of the United States has a gun! A hole in the sky at the hanging! Eyes in the night! Everyone on Earth is pumping their fists! Comics are suddenly flying at us and it's like an evil version of JLA: World War III transforming into Flex Mentallo and a man has a liquid television cloud for a helmet and LIGHTNING FASTENING HIS JACKET!!
Whew! That's the stuff right there! I mean, I'm probably setting myself up for a fall here, but now I hope this series continues to spasm inward and issue #6 is like some berserk DCU version of Poison River with scene transitions every panel, like random background characters from Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen #136 bursting in screaming "THE METABONDS HAVE UNTETHERED" followed by Guy Gardner in a time vortex going "hhn" then a close-up of Batman's groin halfway across the globe followed by supervillain heads burning; it'll be so compressed there won't even be room for dialogue, just selected alphabetic characters, whisking us back to the primal force of phoneme like a word balloon Lettrism, at which point Kamandi initiates the chiselling phase of Darkseid's face.
You really should read the whole review. It's pretty much everything I'd say about the book and why it's so good (even though that Green Lantern trial scene was bobbled pretty badly by Carlos Pacheco).
Comments (2)
LOL. Awesome. Exactly why I don't write comic reviews on my site - I just can't state shit better than the best of you. The art goofs in the trail scene bugged me as well and the misdirected/misconnected word balloons later in the book were an annoyance, too but ce`st le vie.
I will say this about FC #5 though - it was last in my stack to read and as I opened it up, Judas Priest's "Electric Eye" came on my MP3 player and by golly if that didn't just sync up so damn well...followed by Sabbath's "Neon Knights" right as I hit that spread of the Bludhaven onslaught. I wanted to bang my head and thrust up some devil horns like Beavis.
So, yeah, Final Crisis 5. Very Metal. That's my review.
Im no expert, but I feel you just made the best point. You certainly know a great deal about what youre discussing, and I can actually get behind that. Thanks for getting so upfront and so honest concerning the subject matter matter. I truly feel like I have a better understanding now.

Given $A \in R^{m\times n}$, $Q \in R^{m\times n}$ and $R \in \mathbb{R}^{n\times n}$ with $m \ge n$, does $Q$ always have $n$ independent columns?
I played around in matlab by generating a random $m\times n$ matrix $B$ and setting $A = BB^{T}$. When I do the QR-decomposition, I always get a $Q$ with full rank but $R$ singular. Not sure how to construct a more mathematical argument though.

TUCSON, Ariz. ?- Bill Wright, head men's tennis coach at the University of Arizona since 1986, today announced his retirement, effective June 30, 2005.
"There's a time for everyone to move on and this is the time for me," Wright said. "I've enjoyed the U of A immensely. The administration, athletic department and coaches are without question the most positive and supportive group of people anywhere. I've enjoyed all my players over the years and have appreciated their effort and hard work."
The 2004 and 2001 Region VIII Coach of the Year, Wright has compiled a 182-244 record in his 19 seasons at Arizona. He will coach senior Colin O'Grady and junior Roger Matalonga in the NCAA Tournament in doubles competition later this month.
"Bill has had a great run here," Athletics Director Jim Livengood said. "We've really appreciated his 19 years of loyalty and service to the Wildcat family. It's been wonderful working with him and we're sorry to see him go."
In 29 seasons as a head coach at five different schools, Wright has compiled a 436-374 (.538) record, has produced nine All-Americans, was National Coach of the Year once and Pac-10 Coach of the Year once.
Livengood will review the possibilities of Wright's replacement in the coming weeks.

Think that being a Hollywood leading man is all glamour? Actors Channing Tatum and Mark Ruffalo, who portray wrestling legends Mark and Dave Schultz in the movie Foxcatcher, got more than their share of injuries filming the movie, according to multiple media reports from a journalists' luncheon at the Cannes Film Festival Tuesday.
"I'm pretty sure I broke my hand in the movie in the training," Tatum, who, despite being a multi-sport athlete in high school, never wrestled, but found himself facing off against actual amateur wrestlers in the filming of the movie, said in "Variety." "You're just throwing bodies around and you get caught in different angles."
"We wrestled for about five or six months before," Tatum, who plays Mark Schultz, told the "Belfast Telegraph." "I think Mark and I both have cauliflower ear as take-home presents from that, and bad knees."
Ruffalo, a former high school wrestler, added: "Our life became wrestling."
According to entertainment website Vulture.com, Tatum went through a two-hour transformation each morning to become Mark Schultz… complete with prosthetic cauliflower ears. However, the actor who was named "People" magazine's "Sexiest Man Alive" in 2012, said, in the course of filming the movie, that he and Ruffalo now, "have a little bit of cauliflower on our ears. We have the beginnings of nodules that will never go away."
After completion of the movie, Tatum gained new respect for the sport of wrestling.
"[In] wrestling, there's sort of a saying that you have to be very comfortable being uncomfortable," Tatum told Vulture.com. "Because everything is a struggle and a fight and if you're getting choked you have to understand when, like, you're gonna die, like literally you're about to go out, or does this just suck? Does this just suck right now and are you gonna be able to live through this and be able to be in control of the pain and all that? And that's what I think this movie is. Like everyone is just trying to deal and be comfortable, while being so unbelievably uncomfortable."
Tatum added, "Wrestling, it's an intimate thing, even though it's super violent. You have to be comfortable being basically naked and wrestling. It's weird. From an outsider's perspective it looks very homosexual. I've gotten that a lot. And I always say, 'Come on and try it out. You'll see how non homosexual that is.' And I don't know what that's like, even. But I can't imagine it's very much like that. It's too painful. It's chess, but a violent chess."
Tatum, who has starred in action films – and played a streetfighter in the movie "Fighting" – incurred injuries while filming "Foxcatcher" which had nothing to do with wrestling. He suffered cuts on his forehead after filming a scene where the Mark Schultz character bangs his head repeatedly into a mirror. And, in another scene with Ruffalo, the actor who played Dave Schultz slapped Tatum so hard in the head, the former "Sexiest Man" suffered a ruptured eardrum which has since healed.

Training to be a competitive age-grouper – Part 1
In The Time-Crunched Triathlete: Race-Winning Fitness in 8 Hours a Week, Chris Carmichael and Jim Rutberg advance some familiar, but radical training ideas for non-elite athletes...specifically age-groupers like me who have a full-time job, a family and a life.
Rather than pursue the traditional base, build, peak and race phases, they advocate more concentrated, high-effort training sessions than long, low-intensity endurance workouts. Age-groupers can do more short, intense workouts because they will effectively use the time at work as longer recovery periods, they assert.
We recently asked Jim Rutberg a few questions to learn more about the approach:
Paul Tyler: "Is the classic periodization model dead for age-groupers who would like to be competitive, but who really want to stay in shape and control their weight?"
Jim Rutberg: "'Dead' is probably too strong a word, but the classic periodization model is certainly flawed when it comes to time-crunched athletes. The classic periodization model works best when you can devote consistent and large amounts of time to training over a long period of several months.
"Athletes leading busy lives can't do that, and for them the classic model takes too long to develop competitive fitness. Somewhere during that long span, something happens (illnesses at home, a big project at work, a string of family obligations or holidays, etc.) that derails their progress.
"The Time-Crunched Triathlete Program leverages the ability for time-crunched athletes to ramp up more quickly in preparation for a relatively short series of regional races, take a break, and then prepare for another series of events.
"This is how races are frequently scheduled, based on weather conditions, and it also matches the manner in which busy athletes are able to prepare for competition. This program integrates into a busy working parent's schedule more easily and more effectively than the classic periodization model."

While the S&P 500 is up 9% year-to-date in 2013, China has lagged significantly. Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index is up just 2% since Jan. 1, and the Dow Jones Shanghai Index is up about 4%.
As a result, the iShares MSCI Hong Kong Index Fund (NYSE:EWH) is up less than half that, as is the iShares MSCI China Small-Cap ETF (NYSE:ECNS). The closed-end Morgan Stanley China A Share Fund (NYSE:CAF) is up less than 2% and iShares FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index ETF (NYSE:FXI), a fund benchmarked to the FTSE China 25 Index, is actually in the red by more than 4%.
The reasons for the underperformance are multifaceted. The latest debate is whether January and February numbers mean anything thanks to the Lunar New Year holiday and its impact on government activity, consumer spending and … well, just about everything.
But in a host of articles lately, there seems to be a bearish narrative emerging — one that China investors should pay close attention to.
Here are some of the recent headlines of note:
Slowing GDP: In 2012, China still was growing briskly compared with the rest of the world. However, its 7.8% pace was its weakest in 13 years. So remember that talk about China's growth has to be in the context of previous expansion — and most importantly, Wall Street expectations. The target for 2013? Just 7.5%. Furthermore, John-Paul Smith of Deutsche Bank has gone on record as saying that 2013 will be the year investors painfully come to grips with the fact that China's growth rate will never be what it once was, and adjust expectations of the sustainable growth rate accordingly with a 10% to 15% selloff in emerging-market stocks.
Opaque Data: And that's even if you can calculate the GDP accurately. As Craig Stephen posits, the roller coaster in Chinese credit has "spooked investors" and has raised serious questions about the numbers. For instance, how can China be a low-cost manufacturing hub even as real estate costs and growth rates are among the highest in the world? What about inflation? And of course, what about trusting Beijing on anything? There are far too many uncertainties — even when numbers are provided — for investors to know for sure what the score is.
Overreliance on Beijing: This Reuters report says it best: State statistics show that "state-mandated fixed asset investment (FAI) was the key driver of economic growth in the first two months of the year, up 21.2 percent and the strongest in 12 months, while annual retail sales growth of 12.3 percent was the slackest January and February combined since 2004." In other words, Beijing is spending big, but actual Chinese citizens are not.
Services: The HSBC composite PMI for China's manufacturing and service sectors eased slightly in February, according to recent data. But more telling is that the services sector PMI for China rolled back from recent highs in February. While it's still in growth mode with a reading of 52.1 (anything above 50 is expansion and under 50 is contraction), it's important to note that the services sector is almost half of China's economy. Any softness here is significant, especially if the trend lasts.
Industrial Production: Both industrial production and, naturally, electricity generation have been in a steady multiyear decline. The latest data continues that slump — and in January-February, it not only contracted but missed expectations to the downside.
Inflation: The consumer price index data from the National Bureau of Statistic showed a 3.2% rise in prices vs. 3% expectations. That's a 10-month high. China set a 3.5% inflation target at its annual parliamentary session last week — down from a 4% target last year — and the fact that we are already up against that mark is not a good sign. Tighter monetary policy to tamp down inflation would naturally have an adverse impact on exports. Furthermore, even modest inflation could seriously crimp consumer spending. Consider that pork, the most popular meat in China, is forecast to jump 16% in price this year, according to Standard Charter.
Housing Bubble: Year-over-year, property investment jumped a combined 22.8% in January and February. So the government is looking to cool off the market by requiring bigger down payments and taxing capital gains more significantly. The move caused China stocks to take their worst weekly tumble in almost two years. And unfortunately, this is just the latest in three years of efforts to curb runaway home prices, and it remains unseen if anything can stop the housing bubble — aside from popping it, of course.
Housing Bubble, Take 2: This deserves its own item: As Bloomberg reported last month, there is a term for heavily indebted Chinese who own properties they can barely afford: "housing slaves." In other words, they are slaves to paying a remarkable mortgage that can be as much as 70% of their salary. Considering the pain that America went through with overextended buyers who eventually found themselves paupers when the myth of never-ending real estate gains imploded … well, let's just say it doesn't bode well for China consumers or banks.
Demographics: Amid all the fuss about immigration in the U.S. and Europe and a need for a growing labor force to drive economic expansion, China has perhaps the worst outlook of all thanks to the dangers of an aging population from its self-imposed "one child" policy. Last year, a government think tank floated the idea of permitting two children per family by 2015 … but it might be too little too late to stop the ticking demographic time bomb caused by low fertility rates in China for many years.
Shadow Banking: China has an enormous "shadow banking" network, which provides loans and other off-balance-sheet transactions outside of traditional financial institutions. China reportedly is cracking down on shadow banking because of obvious risks it poses to the financial system, but the result has been a big contraction in credit and lending nationwide. It's a painful Catch 22 — the shadow banking system allows for very risky financial transactions to be performed off the books, but without it, many consumers and businesses don't have access to credit to spend and grow the economy. Even more disturbing — off-balance-sheet cash is sometimes even used to finance government and infrastructure projects.
The bullish case for China can still be made, of course. While we did see a significant pullback at the end of February for Chinese equity, it doesn't look like a collapse is imminent as the major funds and indices are seeing uptrends in both 50-day and 200-day moving averages. Furthermore, Standard Chartered's Stephen Green and Wei Li report that demand for residential property is strong in 2013 — with new projects up 17.5% and space under construction up 12.8% year-over-year in February — values have not crashed yet and construction continues could be seen by some as a net positive, at least in the short term.
As you can see from this very long piece and the following laundry list of reading, China is not an easy topic for investors to grasp.
But there is more than enough information out there to urge skepticism and caution right now, even if a "hard landing" has been averted.

LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – A New Jersey tornado 2013 in New Providence is now heading for Maplewood. The New Jersey tornado today July 1, 2013 was spotted moments ago. Officials are warning that the tornado is moving very quickly through south Essex this Monday.

Dear Editor,
It's spring and they're popping up all over. No, not mushrooms or wild flowers but the much more prolific and intrusive man-made phenomenon known as temporary political campaign signs. Rules respecting private property, highway right away and even the professional courtesy of not obstructing one sign with another seem to be ignored by some during this season of fervent attention getting.
Unfortunately, it says much to counter the character some try to espouse in words on their signs. Most have terse slogans (promises) which often are as forgotten after as they are ambiguous during an election cycle.
Yet, as they clutter our highways and surface streets, they are a part of our democratic way, a part of our freedom of speech.
During the pitch black and stormy trip back up Highway 41 from The Ranchos to O'Neals recently, through the sleet and obliterating highway glare, I must credit the seemingly endless string of bright white campaign sign sentinels for my safe return home.
The good news is that they all, big and small, must be removed within 10 days after the June 3 primary election.
Once again, we will be able to witness a display of character through deeds, not words. Please exercise your right to vote.
Ray Krause, O'Neals
Editor's Note: Ray Krause is a candidate for Madera County supervisor, District 1.

If you're a book lover there are few things that can entice you to go out to public events when you've got your hands on a great book that you can't put down. And so when there are events held in public for book lovers, they should be red letter days on your calendar.
Coming soon to Los Angeles, Opium magazine has organized a Literary Death Match. While the book authors that are billed to be at this throw-down don't sound as ferocious as UFC competitors, you just never know, blood could be spilled in the name of literature. Authors will compete for prizes -- and fun is most assuredly to be had by one and all. You can check out more about this event HERE.
And just in case you missed it. The big book circus that's held in Los Angeles every year -- known as the LA Times Festival Of Books -- is moving from the UCLA campus to the cross-town rival campus USC. I have always enjoyed the rolling hills and open grassy knolls on the UCLA campus -- and I must admit I was not happy when I first heard that the Festival of Books was moving to USC. But I don't want to be a party pooper before I go to the party...so you can count me in. I'll go to the Festival of Books no matter where they hold it.

Gene Bertoncini is best described as an elegant player. The fine veteran guitarist brings a gentle style to his playing that often understates his virtuosity. On this cut he plays with a string quartet and the masterful acoustic bass of David Finck, showing the bridge that can exist between classical and jazz when explored by willing and able artists. To this end, he is only partially successful.
The idea to do a medley of Rodrigo's "Concierto de Aranjuez" and Chick Corea's "Spain" was one that fascinated me. Bertoncini demonstrates an intuitive feel for the inherent sensibilities of these disparate yet similarly inspired works. The string ensemble feels very comfortable in the classical mode and Bertoncini seems equally at home in this sensitive but deliberate setting, where he plays in an accomplished classical Spanish guitar motif. When the song switches abruptly to the "Spain" portion of the medley, Bertoncini and David Finck lead the way for the other strings punctuated by a rousing pizzicato bass solo that is free to be adventurous, especially in its aggressive tone, and pushes the pulse of the tune. Bertoncini comps with soft chords behind Finck's plucky bass until he starts his own solo, which he plays with a lightness and delicacy that is draped in the silky finery of his approach. The strings demonstrate their own unified voice in a tension-building arco chorus that just doesn't cut it for me and yields to an inappropriately sweet violin solo before Bertoncini returns it to the Corea melody line and then back again to the Rodrigo finale, tying the two melodies together for one last time. Clearly an ambitious undertaking that despite its shortcomings makes clear that both Bertoncini and Finck are adept enough to straddle the worlds of classical and jazz comfortably.
