Having three boys I have to go with my favorite being the All About Boys paper...it is great! I've never seen those cards before though and they are wonderful too!ReplyDelete
And I am a follower!ReplyDelete
My favorite is the adhesive cardstock. I use it all the time in my cricut machine for cutting out letters!! But I love all the DCWV products!ReplyDelete
Wow what a great giveaway I love DCWV cardstock, My favorite stack out of the pick would be All About Boys! I love all of the fun colors. My fingers are crossed I hope I win!!!ReplyDelete
Great products - I love the adhesive stack and the all about boys and...oh,I can't decide Ilove them all .ReplyDelete
Oh -I forgot....I become a followerReplyDelete
I love the adhesive mat stack. I don't scrapbook, but work with paper on different projects, and I could make stickers to use on the other projets.ReplyDelete
I am a follower.ReplyDelete
I love the adhesive mat stack and would love to give it a try on my Cricut!ReplyDelete
But, the All About Boys Stack would be perfect for me as well. I have two boys and I'm tired of using the same old paper for their albums.
My favorite is the adhesive mat stack. I don't know how I missed this in stores, but I didn't know you guys made that. I can see that it would be very useful when cutting things on my Cricut. I became a follower too.ReplyDelete
I LOVE THEM ALL!!! I LOVE DCWV!!ReplyDelete
I became a subscriber too!!! THANKS!!
All about Boys Stack I am a mom of two boys and I agree cute boy stuff is hard to come by!ReplyDelete
Oh, this choice was easy for me... the adhesive stack is FABULOUS! Taking the difficulty out of applying adhesive to fine machine cut outs is BRILLIANT! Does it come in a bigger size?? An 8x11 adhesive stack would be even more FAB!ReplyDelete
THe once upon a time stack is fabulous. I have used it for so many projects, from cards, to layouts, making frame mats, its just beautiful. But then again, DVWV is all I buy. I make cards for Operation Write HOme and ALWAYS make the cards using the boxed cards from DCWV.ReplyDelete
I love the box of cards. They are great to use with the coordinating stacks to add die-cuts and embelishment to make cards. What a great price for a quality card and envelope! I'm aa follower of both the blog and FB page. Thanks for sharing!ReplyDelete
This is such a fun giveaway!! I really love the card stacks and I thought it was fabulous that you demonstrated the adhesive cardstock. I have always wanted to try that!ReplyDelete
I didn't even KNOW about the adhesive mat stacks!!! That is fantastic! I need to get some!!!! I think I'm going to the store right... now! Thanks!ReplyDelete
I love the designs on the josephine cards, but the adhesive mat stack is SO COOL!ReplyDelete
I love the Josephine Box Cards! How wonderful! I make a lot of cards and these would be sooo great to use and time saving! I loved the $1 gift of cards thatyou put together! It would make anyone feel pretty special! Thanks for sharing your ideas and picks!ReplyDelete
the adhesive stackReplyDelete
I love love love the all about boys stack! I have three boys and it is really hard to find good paper for them (you are *so* right!)ReplyDelete
I'm a followerReplyDelete
Great picks! I wish we had an ACMoore here! My favorite is the All About Boys stack, as you were flipping through it, I realized I have no boy paper, and only boys are in our family!ReplyDelete
I am a follower and a fan. Love the adhesive mat stack. Such a help with diecuts.ReplyDelete
I am now a follower and I love the adhesive cardstock! I hate trying to figure out how Im going to glue down the tiny pieces I cut out with my Silhouette, and I usually end up with sticky fingers or adhesive on my project.ReplyDelete
Thanks for doing this giveaway!
I Am a big time AC moore shopper and love that They carry lots of dcwv products. My favorites are the adhesive mat stack. It makes it so easy to use my cricut or cuttlebug. I don't have to worry about getting glue all over the right side of my cuts since it already has the adhesive on it. I especially love it when i am cutting out small cuts where i have to do paper piecing.ReplyDelete
I also love the pattern papered stacks. I must say that one of my favorite are the glitter stacks.
Thanks for introducing the cards to me i had never noticed them. Will have to go out and use my coupon and by a box especially for christmas!
I am now following your blog and also signed up for your newsletter! thanks for sharing!
Love the adhesive stacks--and am a follower! :)ReplyDelete
LOVE this prize package. I have become a huge card maker and love using your "Box of Cards". I am a follower here, on your FB page, and youtube. LOVE all your products and the ideas you guys come up with.ReplyDelete

Love the Josephine cards (really all the card boxes) but since I have a daughter with that as a middle name how could I choose anything else!ReplyDelete
Michelle Leingang

my absolute favorite is the bright stack! the colors are so nice and the different tones are perfect for everything. now that you remind me, I have to restock!ReplyDelete
I would love to give the adhesive stack a whirl with my sillhouette! I am also a HUGE fan of your card boxes!!! I an an avid card maker and yours are the only ones that I will use as far as pre-made bases go!!! Thanks for the chance to win!ReplyDelete
Im a follower of your blog now! I already was on FB :)ReplyDelete
My top pick is the Bright Solids Box of Cards. It seems so versitile and the idea for packaging up a set of cards for a small gift is great.ReplyDelete
Love the adhesive mat stack. It makes die cuts so much easier.ReplyDelete
Wow, loved the video. I am torn between two of the products that you showed. First is the Box of Cards because I make lots of cards for OWH and this would be real handy. I have even picked up a box and checked it out at Joann's just have bought any. Second is the adhesive paper, that would be super duper AWESOME to use with my Cricut. Keeping my fingers crossed, I would love to win your picks, Erin.ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing,

I cannot choose...I love them all!!!ReplyDelete
My favorite item is the adhesive mat paper pad. I love the ease of using it & the bright colors. I already use the adhesive border strips & love them! I'd use all the products in some way ... I love DCWV!!!ReplyDelete
I'm a follower/subscriber.
i LOVE the adhesive paper pad. These are awesome to use with Die Cut machines and the colors are so vibrant!ReplyDelete
Adhesive cardstock--that's my favorite of your picks! I've never tried it before. It looks fabulous!ReplyDelete
I love the All about boys! Need the super hero stuff since my son just thinks he is a super hero! I mean what boy doesn't!! LOLReplyDelete
I love them all too!ReplyDelete
My all time fave is the adhesive card stock. It takes the pain out of adhering small letters and punches and works great on the Cricut. The brights are so great for kid layouts, etc. I'm a big fan. Keep up the good work!ReplyDelete
So cool! I'm loving the adhesive stack for sure...ReplyDelete
- April W
Oh, and I'm a blog follower!ReplyDelete
- April W
Wow I like everything but I will pick the all about boysReplyDelete
You are right, it is hard to just pick one. They are all great but I'd lve to try the adhesive mats. Those seems like they would be less troublesome to work with when you ate cutting out intricate pieces.ReplyDelete
Thanks for the chance!
Jess M.
Btw, I've been a follower for a bit now and I subscribe to the emails.
They are all fantastic! I think I'd love to try the adhesive backed with my cricut. Lot's less work if they're already sticky on the back!!ReplyDelete
Good thing you narrowed it down to just 5. It still makes picking 1 hard, but I think I can. My favorite thing is the Josephine cards. I love the prints and wish with all my heart that it came in a stack. The prints are so me I would buy 2. One to scrap with and one to look at.ReplyDelete
I love all of DCWV stuff. I just re-bought the brights cardstock stack! I also love the cards, it makes card-making soooo easy! Thanks!ReplyDelete
jesslomb at aol dot com
My favorite is the adhesive mat stack! I have almost every stack DCVW has produced and have never purchased the adhesive mat stack...never really thought about what I could do with it, boy the light bulb just came on! WOW how easy will it be to adhere those intricate cuts? Thanks for the ideas and inspiration...I'm off to find the adhesive mat stack.ReplyDelete
My favorite is the Brights Cardstock Stack. I use it for everything - almost all the colors I need are in there. I'm a follower. :)ReplyDelete
If I said everything DCWV would that be cheating? I am a stack a holic and I love the cards for Operation Write Home and I like the adhesive cardstock for punches and Cricut, I just like it all.ReplyDelete
I am a follower as wellReplyDelete
I LOVE anything DCWV!! That is the only patterened paper I buy now and I recommend it to everyone! I think my favorite is the Boy stack since I have a little boy and boy paper is sooo hard to find! Thanks for the great info video!! I also just became a follower!!ReplyDelete
rcj0907 at yahoo dot com
I have so many DCWV stacks! I was going to say my fav was the bright cardstock stack, but after reading all of these comments, i will have to out and try the adhesive stack! I don't have a cutting machine, but I do use templates and making letters out of sticker paper sounds like a great idea!ReplyDelete
I saw the adhesive paper at AC Moore but did not realize how great it is...going out now to buy some.ReplyDelete
I love the boxes of cards. I picked one up at the Expo in SLC, and can see how I would be able to alter the cards to make them even more lovely!ReplyDelete
I just became a follower of the blog!ReplyDelete
Awesome stuff. I am hoarding all of my OUAT stuff and can't bear to use much of it. Didn't see the album until now. Here's another idea for the album - a childhood album for any child (maybe the story of an adoption?).ReplyDelete
Mostly I love the adhesive stack. Wish they came in 12x12!
Became a follower too. :-)
I thought my favorite was going to be the brights 12x12 stack because I have it and use it but NO the adhesive stack is AWESOME. Will have to go get one of those before the next crop.ReplyDelete
I love the Once Upon a Time stackReplyDelete
I love all your products: quality papers, great texture to the cardstock, but I do have a favorite: Love that adhesive stack. So easy to use on small punch or die cut pieces where it may be hard to apply adhesive. Just the best!ReplyDelete
I love all the products, but I love, love, love the adhesive mat stacks--saves me time and holds great!! I am a follower already and will join you on facebook too!! thanks for a great giveaway...I'm keeping my fingers crossed to win!ReplyDelete
I'm so glad I watched that video. I have never seen the adhesive backed cardstock! How cool is that? Something I want to try! I would have to say your cardstock stack is my favorite though. I just gave one of these to a friend as a birthday gift. Something I know will get used.ReplyDelete
thanks for the chance to win! Keeping my fingers crossed.
I love the adhesive mat stack! Very clever and can't wait to try my punches with it. Scrappers have the best ideas!ReplyDelete
I love the adhesive mat stack. And I never thought to use it with my punches!ReplyDelete
Wow what a great spread! How do you choose a favorite?!?! Ok, I guess if I have to pick one I would say the Josephine cards! I think the DCWV cards are the best! I seriously can't believe the price either...AMAZING!! :)ReplyDelete
I Love DCWV paper!! I have TONS and some stacks more than one...ReplyDelete

I love DCWV cardstock~ I am spoiled by the texture and the weight of it... I purchased another brand and was not happy with it at all! I love DCWV - I have several stacks of theirs... I have to say the all about boys stack is my fav of this 5 - I have both once upon a time and the all about boys, but I would not mind having more + cards if I win, thanks for the chance!ReplyDelete

Love the Adhesive matt stacks! The patterned ones are great too, makes dicutting and punching so easy.ReplyDelete

Great Video, love all your picks, DCWV really does have the best deals out there as far a paper stacks go, I just love them. If I had to pick one I would pick the boxed card sets.

I have eyed the adhesive mat stacks in store, but to date have not tried them out - but I think after watching your vid Erin, I won't be able to resist the next time I venture in to get my next DCWV purchase! I am already a follower and 'like' you on Facebook! :)ReplyDelete
I have to say that the ONCE UPON A TIME set is my favorite. There are so many things one can use it for--it's antique tones and whimsical glitter make it truly useful for genealogy layouts to dance recitals. I love it!ReplyDelete
Oh, and I'm a follower of the blog!ReplyDelete
Having mostly boys in the family, I have to say the All About Boys stack is my favorite. I also like the adhesive mat stacks.ReplyDelete
I also am a mom of two wonderful boys! I was thrilled when the All AboutReplyDelete
Boys stack was released! I also am drooling over the adhesive mat stacks! How wonderful is that?! DCWV is always my go to paper! :)
I love the Boy Stack! The images on the papers are so dang cute!!ReplyDelete
All About Boys!! I have so many girly looking papers!! I love the adhesive stacks too!!ReplyDelete
DCWV is my favorite line..if you looked in my paper cupboards you would see that LOL!

I have been looking for an idea to make an album for my DIL to be! I love the idea of the once upon a time album and i already have the Stack of course!!
I am also the mom to 3 boys so i LOVED the All about boys stack too, i can't believe i don't already have that!
Thanks for all the Great ideas!
OHHH and i forgot to even say i LOVE the cards too!ReplyDelete
I am having a Scrapbooking Retreat in a couple months and need some little guest gifts! I think the cards will be perfect! Such a simple idea,
and one i had never even thought of! LOL
The Cards, the cards, oh and I can't be without the cardstock. There are so many wonderful stacks and products it's hard to pick a favorite. I adore your products!ReplyDelete
That is so great! I love all the Die Cuts With A View ideas that you give on your blog. I'm in agreement with Lily it's hard to pick a favorite. Although the new lines that have come out are amazing! Thanks and love your blog.ReplyDelete
Wow! Hard choice to make because I love all of the DCWV products and two of my top five are in your top five. All About Boys is all about my scrapbooks. I have three boys and a grandson so all I scrap is guy related! Love the colors in that line. My other fav is the adhesive mat stack. I wasn't sure I would use it until I watched your demo and the light bulb went off! Now I am thinking I will need to stop at my LSS on the way home. Fingers are crossed!!ReplyDelete
Love your product!! Already subscribe and so glad I do...love the boxed cards! Use them alot! Thanks for giving us the fun!!!ReplyDelete
I don't know that I can pick a favorite...ReplyDelete
If I absolutely have to I would say that I love the All About Boys Stack! Like you said it's hard to find cute boy paper and this one is definitely cute
Definately the boys stack!! So hard to find good quality and modern boys stuff for scrapbooking! Way to go DCWV ;)ReplyDelete
Following the blog and the FB page... of course!! DCWV rocks my world!ReplyDelete
Love all the DCWV products! But my favorite from the video would have to be the All About Boys stack. Perfect papers for my grandson's layouts! Thank you so much for the chance to win! Good luck everyone!ReplyDelete
My favourite is the cardstock stack! I just love DCWV cardstock - the white core makes it so versatile for embossing and distressing.ReplyDelete
I'm a follower, a subscriber, and fan of DCWV! I hadn't seen the adhesive stack before. How awesome is that?!?!? I am going shopping this weekend to get me some at ACMoore! Thanks for showing us your top 5!ReplyDelete
I am all over that "All About Boys" stack - with twin boys in the house it is right up my alley! :)ReplyDelete
I love the card stock brights!ReplyDelete
I am also a follower, as well as A "like" on facebook!ReplyDelete
I love the adhesive stack. So easy to use.ReplyDelete
Love them all, but the adhesive stack as so many cool possibilities!ReplyDelete
I love your boxes of cards. I reach for them time and time again. Makes card making easier and they are so pretty. Josephine looks very nice!ReplyDelete
Having a wee boy it has to be All about Boys :)ReplyDelete
It's so hard to find cute boy things, but this is cute, cute, cute!ReplyDelete
I love the Once Upon a Time stack because I have it myself. I love the colors of the Brights card stock. I'm lovin' the idea of the adhesive pad and those cards are way cute. There's my one pick in all categories :)ReplyDelete
I follow you on FB but I've entered my e-mail!ReplyDelete
I love it all, but have to say the adhesive cardstock would be at the top of my list, followed closely by the brights cardstock....can never have too much cardstock! :-)ReplyDelete
I follow on Facebook and subscribed here
Oh my, all of the products are great, i'm a huge DCWV fan and have lots of stacks... My favorite is the adhesive cardstock. I have yet to buy any, but seeing how convenient it is already having adhesive makes me want to go buy it, NOW!!!ReplyDelete
I really like the cards. You can add so many embellishments to make them your own and use them for so many different things! I love all of the DCVW products though. My current favorite is the Amber Autumn 180 sheet pack! LOVE these designs!!ReplyDelete
I love all the products; however, my favorite would be the adhesive mat stack. I love that it makes using die cut machines so easy.ReplyDelete
My pick from the top 5 is the adhesive cardstock stack!! It would be great for making my own stickers and page titles!!ReplyDelete
DCWV is my favorite scrapbooking company!! Whenever there is a new stack I have to have it!!
I love the adhesive cardstock stack! So easy to use.ReplyDelete
Whoo! Hoo! Adhesive mat stack is a MUST!ReplyDelete
nginerd at gmail dot com
Adhesive paper is always fun but I gotta go with the Josephine Card Box. They are beautiful and Josephine was my grandmothers name!ReplyDelete
Adhesive cardstock is my absolute, must have, favorite. Of course, the cards are pretty wonderful too.ReplyDelete
Ohhh, I love the colors and patterns of the Josephine cards. There needs to be a 12 x 12 stack of these papers. I'd buy it in a heartbeat.ReplyDelete
I love the Once Upon a Time paper stack. I bought it when it first came out and it's still one of my favorites!ReplyDelete
oh, like you said this it is tough to pick only one when I really adore all of them. I love making handmade cards and I am embarassed to admit that somethimes I don't have a card available at that special ocassion. So, I love Josephine collection, it is a must have and I also love the Brights card collection as it would allow me to embellish the card by adding stamps,stickers or ribbon etc and not make the card from scratch. Oh, also how i can forget the brights adhesive matstack and cardstock. Guess, I am saying is that I love all you five favorites.thank you for the fabulous giveaway.ReplyDelete
I love the Brights Box of Cards. You can do so much with it. I'm a follower.ReplyDelete
I like the once upon a time one..we are all dreamers and believers..ReplyDelete
I like the card stock brights (Cardstock stack brights)ReplyDelete
I love the adhesive mat stack for scrapbooking. I am also a follower.ReplyDelete
boy, this is hard......I love several.....but I think the Adhesive mat stack is my VERY favorite. Again, because of how easy it makes using the die cut machines!!ReplyDelete
Judy Cartwright
I LOVE the brights cardstock stack. I use the textured cardstock not only for cardmaking, but I also use it to mat photos in scrapbooking. Love the colors!! Especially the turquoise.ReplyDelete
I LOVE DCWV!!! My favorite products are the new adhesive-backed diecut c/s! I have not yet seen those in my local ACMoore, but I'll be on the lookout! (Oh, and the Cards are fantastic, too!)ReplyDelete
Thanks for an oppty to win!
DCWV products are the best! I especially like the adhesive backed cardstock.ReplyDelete
Oh, and I just became a Follower and subscribed to your email list, too! LOVE the blog! :)ReplyDelete
I love all the DCWV products. I love the adhesive stack when cutting with my big shot. However Once upon a time is my absolute favorite. I used this in my son and daughter-in-laws wedding album. If All about boys had been around when I did my sons album that too would be a favorite.ReplyDelete
I really like the adhesive mat stack. I also subscribed.ReplyDelete
I love DCWV!!!!! I just ound you for FB and became a follower. I love the adhesive packs!!!ReplyDelete
My favorite is the All about boys paper, I agree it's hard to find nice boy papers and those are great! I love DCWV products!ReplyDelete
I'm a follower!ReplyDelete
The all about boys stack would be great! We have a baby boy joining the crew in December :)ReplyDelete
I would love to try the adhesive mat stack. I haven't tried that one yet.ReplyDelete
My favorite is the Adhesive mat stack - but also the 12"x12" card stock stack. Great colors and the feel of the papers are very rich, not too thick or too thin!!ReplyDelete
choose just one? ok - i must admit that i didn't realize your cardstock had a white core - that makes me super excited! and i love the cards and envelopes - i try to make a lot of my own cards and this surely would help keep the cost in line! thanks for this opportunity!ReplyDelete
I love the All About Boys stack because it goes with so many of the Cricut cartridges like Robotz, Carousel, and more!ReplyDelete
I use the cards ALL the time. I always have a box of brights on hand. So they are probably my favorite. Of course, I scrapped my wedding with the Once Upon a Time collection, so that's certainly a love of mine too!ReplyDelete
Thanks for the video, BTW. I had no idea about the adhesive-backed stack. Can't wait to make die cuts with that! Cards just got even easier!
As a Sizzix user, I love the Match Maker's Adhesive Mat Stack Brights. Thanks so much for sharing this with us.ReplyDelete
I am a huge fan of all of the DCWV products. DCWV cardstock is a staple in my scrapbook cabinet. I was super excited to see that one of the featured products was the ALL ABOUT BOYS stack. It is by far my fav. I even bought the coordinating matstack (not adhesive). It makes my pages of my little boy almost as cute as he is. I am so becoming a follower!ReplyDelete
I love all 5 but with three young grandsons, I'd go with the All About Boys stack as my favorite of these.ReplyDelete
I love the cards, because I love to make cards, and they serve as a great base. I love the adhesive paper, too, because I do my share of die cuts, too!ReplyDelete
As a BIG Cricut user, the adhesive stack is AWESOME!! Can NEVER have enough!! Thanks DCWV, you're wonderful!!ReplyDelete
I love the adhesive stack. I've bought several and can't say enough good about them!ReplyDelete
Love 'em all, but the adhesive mat stack is just awesome - love it for die cutting alphas!!ReplyDelete
I love these mat stacks, specially self adhesive and 12x12 my faves :)ReplyDelete
My favorite from the video is the adhesive stack. So great & easy to use wirh my die cutting machine.ReplyDelete
Loved the cards & envelopes. It was a wonderful video. Especially since I was unfamiliar with the products. When I go to AC Moore tomorrow I will definitely check out all the suggested products. Thanks so much!ReplyDelete
I love the adhesive mat stacks.ReplyDelete
I'm a new follower. :)ReplyDelete
I have never thought of using the adhesive cardstock in my diecutting machine. Brilliant idea! I am going to run out and get some asap. Thanks for the inspiration!ReplyDelete
The beautiful cards and envelopes are my favorite. The adhesive stack would be a great addition to the plain cards. You could really dress them up and/or personalize them for the person you are giving them to.ReplyDelete
Like the adhesive stack!! All your cardstock is great.ReplyDelete
do I have to pick 1 LOL - I love the CS in general & I do like the adhesive CS too. Also have to say I appreciate the boy themed stack since I have 2 of them!!ReplyDelete
I love DCWV!!! Out of the 5 picks you highlighted my favorite by far is the All About Boys Stack. I actually own that stack and have made several layouts for my boys. Nice boy paper is really hard to find and DCWV came to the rescue! Thank you!!!ReplyDelete
Oh my goodness!!! I have to pick one favorite??!!! LOL!! I think my favorite is the adheasive paper!! Super amazing!!! And makes cutting those tiny tiny shapes much easier to play with and not have to fiddle with adheasive.ReplyDelete
My second favoite is the boxes of 40 cards!! super awesome!!
Thank you!!!
~Lindsay M.~
I like the bright card stock, not a fan of the cards in the store, so like to make my own and between the card stock and the adhesive mat stock and make up some really cool onesReplyDelete
I've been using your paper today. My creations are on my blog http://tinyurl.com/26cs7m9ReplyDelete
I love all of the picks. My favorite is the adhesive mat stack. They are fabulous in the cricut, no messing with adhesive on the cut outs. I also adore the All About Boys Stack, I have a boy although he is 19 now I could use this for his pictures of when he was younger. It is hard to find boy themed paper. Thanks for sharing your favorites with us. This isn't my husband Thomas, it is his wife Cheryl.ReplyDelete
I love all of them! I recently used the "All About Boys" 8x8 stack to create a baby album that I just loved, so I think that is my favorite!ReplyDelete
love it all, but really like the All about Boys stack, can't wait to try it out. thanks!ReplyDelete
Also, I'm a follower!ReplyDelete
I love the Brights Box of Cards! I just got into card making and this would make it so much easier :)ReplyDelete

See one big band with a rich, thrilling, feel good vibe.
The Brooklyn-based nine piece orchestra is making their return to the Hard Rock Café, 22-24 Clinton Street in Boston, Massachusetts on Friday, July 25 at 8 p.m. Their upcoming album is titled, 'This is Your Brain on Funk.'
Click here for more on New York Funk Exchange.
I had the chance to interview Serena Fortier, lead singer of the New York Funk Exchange.
Please tell me about your background and how you came together. Were you a group of strangers or did you already know each other and was it always the plan to have a group this large or did it just turn out this way?
A few of us went to school together at Berklee College of Music in Boston and after graduation moved out to NYC. We were looking to start a band and had some friends whose band had recently broken up. So, we snagged up the drummer and bass player and started the NYFE. The Wall Street Horns were just picked up along the way. We toured with just one lonely trumpet for a while! I don't think we realized we would have such a large horn section in the beginning but that's how it ended up.
How did your sound develop and were you ever supposed to have a different sound?
I think when we started jamming together, we didn't necessarily know what it would turn into. We all had a love for bass-driven grooves with tight horn sections and in general, music with a soul.
As a group, I don't think any of us really listen to much music made after the late 70s so that influenced our sound in the direction it ended up. I think we've done a great job incorporating elements of our favorite bands from the 60s and 70s without being direct clones of their music.
I like to say we're new school with an old soul.
Your new CD is coming out this winter. Your debut CD, 'The Funkonomic Stimulus Plan' was released in 2009 and it is such an inventive title. Your new CD has perhaps an even more compelling title, 'This is Your Brain on Funk.' Tell me about this CD. Will your sophomore effort be like the debut CD or will the CD veer in a different direction?
I'm really excited and proud of this new album. It's a much more cohesive album than our first. It's definitely reminiscent of the first album, but we've really developed our sound over the past few years.
'This Is Your Brain on Funk' sounds like us. Even the name represents us as we're all children of the 80s! It is packed full of funky bass lines, screaming horns, crazy synths, and a powerful lead vocal wailing out catchy melodies. They're all just really great songs and there is something on this album that everyone can relate to such as songs about life, love, and the pursuit of happiness! (laughs) Of course, there's a dance party guaranteed with every track!
You have been touring throughout the Northeast for the new CD. Tell me how touring has been. I'm sure there must have been some surprises on tour.
Touring has been great. We travel around in our beast of a van which we lovingly refer to as the "White Whale." Pack myself and all the fellas in there and go! A couple surprises we've run into while touring were when the air conditioning died in the van on the hottest day of the summer!! We pulled over at the closest gas station, each grabbed our own cooler, and packed it full of ice and spray bottles!! Oy vey that was an interesting ride!! The other is we just got a trailer to drag our gear around with us. It now officially costs us $40 to cross the Verrazano Bridge!! That was also quite the surprise!!
Any particular performance you are most looking forward to? Is there any future gig where you are thinking, "It's just amazing I'll be playing there?"
Honestly every gig we play, I just feel super lucky! I remember visiting NYC and going to see live music at popular NYC clubs and being blown away. I now have a band that not only plays all those clubs but even has a residency at a club I once visited as a tourist many years ago! Not too shabby for a girl from Maine!!
Aside from the new CD, what does the group hope for in the future?
I think just being able to keep touring and sharing our music with audiences not only across the country but hopefully internationally! We wanna take the funk overseas!!!
What can audiences look forward to in your upcoming performances and what is the best reason people should see the New York Funk Exchange?
Our live shows are not to be missed! This is what we are known for - A strong, soulful lead vocal and the Wall Street Horns. The power and energy that the NYFE emotes during each live performance always leaves our audiences begging for more. Two words...dance party!

|Military Dormitories (Barracks)
|The New Standard -- One-Plus-One
[Editor's Note: The "20/20" plan, now known as the "One Plus One" Plan was approved by the Secretary of Defense for all of the services in 1997. Because of funding concerns, implementation, across all of the services will take several years. The current plan calls for all of the services to offer a single room (no roommate) to all single enlisted personnel (with the exception of boot camp, ships, deployment locations, and schools), by the year 2005. The plan will then move to the next phase, which will include giving all single enlisted personnel a shared living area, plus a shared or private kitchnette.
Article by MSgt. Louis A. Arana-Barradas
WASHINGTON -- The first step of Air Force's Vision 2020 plan to provide airmen vastly improved dormitories is nearing reality as the blueprint for modernizing all Department of Defense single enlisted quarters.
The Army, Navy and Marine Corps agreed Jan. 9 (1995) to adopt a common construction standard featuring private sleeping rooms for enlisted dormitories in all the armed services.
Sent to the Defense Installation Policy Board Jan. 19, the plan now awaits approval by Defense Secretary William Perry. [EDITORS NOTE: The plan is now approved, and in the process of implementation]
The Air Force first introduced the private room concept in early 1993, said Maj. Gen. James E. McCarthy, the Air Force civil engineer. He added that the aim of the first step of Vision 2020 is to provide unaccompanied servicemembers dormitories with private bedrooms, walk-in closets and a shared bathroom and kitchenette.
The long-range plan calls for eventual conversion to an efficiency apartment standard slated for completion by 2020.
"Our surveys indicated our troops wanted privacy, privacy, privacy where they lived," McCarthy said. "Young people have different expectations today. They have different lifestyles. That room ought to be their home. They should be able to be by themselves once in a while."
Vision 2020 is the Air Force attempt to provide airmen the privacy and living conditions they want, more akin to those found in off-base apartments. "That is a major change from the way we have billeted our people in the past," McCarthy said.
The new plan will replace the "two plus two" scheme adopted by DOD more than a decade ago. Under this plan, two people live in one room and share a bathroom with two people in an adjacent room. Roommates shared -- including closet space -- a 180-square-foot room.
That standard hasn't been fully implemented and only about 72 percent of Air Force single enlisted people live in these type dormitories [1995 statistics].
The other 28 percent still live two people to a room with "gang latrine" standards.
The new standard would give each person a private room with about 115 square feet, apart from the walk-in closet.
"If we get the authority, we would probably first apply the new standard in replacing the old dormitories with gang latrines," McCarthy said.
However, he said "two plus two" dorms are still being constructed. In fiscal year 1995, $91 million was earmarked for this type construction -- which added more than 4,000 bed spaces. "I would expect us to continue spending around $100 million to $120 million every year on dormitory construction.
"At that rate, implementing the new standard (replacing the gang latrine dormitories) will take from eight to 10 years," McCarthy said. The cost would be about $1 billion.
The general said that time period could be less if more Air Force budget dollars were put into the plan. "But the Air Force chief of staff has a lot of choices to make in the budget, including other quality of life issues."
In addition to constructing new standard dormitories, Air Force wants to put one airman to a room in the existing "two plus two" dormitories and move the rest off base in those communities where housing is available and affordable.
However, that would increase basic allowance for quarters spending by an additional $50 million a year, McCarthy said. "That $50 million would have to come from somewhere else."
At Luke AFB, Ariz., A1C Matthew L. Summers of the 56th Fighter Wing public affairs office is luckier than some of his peers at other bases. He lives in a "two plus two" dormitory and shares a bathroom, but he doesn't have a roommate. "It's great because I like my privacy."
But all isn't rosy, he said. Because he's on the small wing staff, he lives in the component repair squadron dormitory. "They work swing shifts and come in and out at all times of the day and night. It took some getting used to," he said.
The airman said he plans to make the Air Force a career and the prospects of being able to move into one of the new apartment-style dorms would be "awesome." "When I go home at night I want to be alone," Summers said. "I like my personal space, my freedom. And it would be great to be able to cook."
New standard dormitories will cost more. And in the wake of criticism of the armed services' readiness, some people believe defense dollars should go toward maintaining a ready combat fighting force.
McCarthy said he believes providing the troops better places to live is fundamental in maintaining readiness, "an investment in the productivity and motivation" of the force.
He said it didn't "make a lot of sense" to send young airmen through basic training, up to 52 weeks of technical school, then out on the flightline and expect them to do perfect work fixing airplanes if they lived "in a lousy room."
The new plan, McCarthy said, shows troops "we're putting money behind our statements, not just making statements."
"This (commitment) is fundamental to readiness -- as much a part of readiness as spare parts for airplanes," he said.
One week from pinning on his first stripe, AB David A. Poirier has been in the Air Force six months and knows only the gang-latrine dormitory life. A KC-10 hydraulics mechanic at Travis AFB, Calif., the 9th Air Refueling Squadron member shares a room. Though he said it "isn't that bad" because his roommate is a friend he went through technical school with, he has complaints about living in an "ancient dormitory."
"Where we live now we have old furniture, it's dark and the heat doesn't work very well," he said. "And I can't stand the bathroom; it's cold and damp."
Across the street from Poirier's dormitory, a new 2 plus 2 dormitory is being completed and he said he occasionally looks out his window at it. Told he might be moving into the new dormitory in May, he said the day won't come soon enough.
"I can't wait to move there," Poirier said. "I'll finally have my own room and some privacy."
Army One-Plus-One Barracks
2003 - The Army continues to make barracks improvements its number one facilities priority. Every year, more single soldiers are seeing evidence of the Army's commitment to providing soldiers with the best possible living conditions. Dozens of projects for new 1+1 barracks and renovation of existing barracks, exceeding $1 billion, are in design or under construction.
Unlike the other Services, the Army is not building just barracks. In many CONUS locations, the Army plans to provide a complete complex to support all aspects of a soldier's life in garrison.
These complexes include soldier community buildings, consolidated dayrooms, common fully-equipped kitchen, mailroom and laundry. Company operations buildings have bulk storage for TA-50 field gear, so that duffel bags will no longer dominate the sleeping room.
Storage, shower facilities and mud-rooms for cleaning gear and boots are designed to accommodate all soldiers in the unit, not just those in the barracks. Brigade and battalion headquarters and dining facilities in separate buildings are also incorporated into the complex.
Individual barracks units provide each soldier with a private, well-appointed bedroom. Two junior enlisted soldiers share a common kitchenette and bath in a two-bedroom suite, hence the "1+1" label. Senior enlisted soldiers have a private suite including a separate furnished living room.
PACAF opens its first 1+1 dorm in 1998
Senior Airman Adam Stump
EIELSON AIR FORCE BASE, Alaska (PACAFNS) -- Thirty-seven Eielson airmen between the ranks of senior airmen and airmen first class moved in to Pacific Air Force's first "1+1" dormitory March 5 (1998).
The renovated dormitory received a $4.1 million facelift, according to Pat Hill, chief of unaccompanied housing. The new rooms are 118 square-feet each. They have enough space for a
bed, dresser, night stand and entertainment center. Each also has a walk-in closet or sliding door closet, depending on which floor plan the airman chooses. All rooms come with a ceiling fan, two-way opening window, a sink and medicine cabinet.
Each pair of rooms shares a bathroom and kitchen, which vary in design because there are four different floor plans. A 17-cubic-foot refrigerator, microwave, apartment-size stove, cabinets, eating counter and barstools are standard in each kitchen. Bathrooms have both a shower and a tub.
Each floor is equipped with four washers and dryers, and each has a day room. There is a large day room and mailroom in the basement.
The dormitories were a welcome sight to at least one airman.
"I think this is magnificent," said Airman 1st Class Derrick Vinson, 354th Civil Engineer Squadron. "This [the kitchen] gives me a good opportunity to eat what I want. The walk-in closets are great too because now I can store my A-bag in my room instead of hauling it upstairsfrom the basement every time there's an exercise."
Col. Tommy Crawford, 354th Fighter Wing commander, said the dormitory shows the Air Force, Pacific Air Forces and Eielson want to provide good housing for its junior enlisted members.
"These dorms show that we're dedicated to quality-of-life upgrades for our airmen," he said. "We want to give them a good place to go home to after the work day is done, and I hope we can do that for every airman on Eielson."
Three other bases -- Kunsan Air Base, South Korea; Osan Air Base, South Korea; and Kadena Air Base, Japan -- have 1+1 dorms under construction, according to PACAF civil engineers.

Reviews for Yogurt Pancakes
"Amazing, I wouldn't change a thing. I'm going to experiment with whole wheat flour"
"Love this recipe. This is the only pancake recipe I use now and have made them a couple dozen times now. I make half the recipe and use vanilla yogurt. These are so good, we even eat them plain (no syrup or toppings)."
"Very good with a unique flavor that is unlike everyday pancakes. I followed recipe to the T and made them more on the thick side with medium heat for 4 to5 mins on each side. Will make again with add-ins :)"
"Perfect! Wouldn't change a thing. I read some of the other reviews and it seems like those that used Greek yogurt had issues. The recipe doesn't call for Greek yogurt. I would totally recommend this recipe to anyone wanting to make a great fluffy, light and flavorful pancake. I used Mountain High plain yogurt. I love that it was quick to mix together without a long list of ingredients. Thanks for the great recipe."
"I used banana Greek yogurt so I'm not sure how much that effected it. The batter was super thick so I added more water. I think I'd use milk next time. The texture was chewy than I like for pancakes. I added dark chocolate chips, which never make anything taste bad."

Progress in technology has brought microelectronics to the nanoscale, but nanoelectronics is not yet a well-defined engineering discipline with a coherent, experimentally verified, theoretical framework. The NCN has a vision for a new, 'bottom-up' approach to electronics, which involves: understanding electronic conduction at the atomistic level; formulating new simulation techniques; developing a new generation of software tools; and bringing this new understanding and perspective into the classroom. We address problems in atomistic phenomena, quantum transport, percolative transport in inhomogeneous media, reliability, and the connection of nanoelectronics to new problems such as biology, medicine, and energy. We work closely with experimentalists to understand nanoscale phenomena and to explore new device concepts. In the course of this work, we produce open source software tools and educational resources that we share with the community through the nanoHUB.
This page is a starting point for nanoHUB users interested in nanoelectronics. It lists key resources developed by the NCN Nanoelectronics team.

The music leans towards "cosmic trance". The tracks are very electronic and produce a nice, deep and open spacey cosmic feeling. Unlike some other ambient albums, nothing on this CD goes on and on for too long, so it doesn't get boring as the soundscapes and grooves are changing all the time.

As delightful a world without snakes and other reptiles may be, Patrick has been honored as the patron saint of Ireland since at least the seventh century for driving out polytheism from the Emerald Isle with a three-leaved shamrock symbolizing the Holy Trinity. A Roman Briton sold into Irish slavery at age 16 before his escapesix years later, he returned as a missionary in A.D. 432 to, what Winston Churchill in A History of the English-Speaking Peoples described as:
...the wild regions which he had acquitted. His success was speedy and undying. He organised the Christianity already in existence; he converted kingdoms which were still pagan, especially in the West; he brought Ireland into connection with the Church of Western Europe, and made it formally part of universal Christendom.
So what has this to do with the price of peas and petrol in Peoria and the rest of America? Plenty, and one aspect of why is exemplified by how lauded has been Pope Francis as "caring for the poor" since his election as the first successor of St. Peter from the Americas as the "rock" upon which the Roman Catholic Church was built.
This Southern Baptist conservative Republican and The Pope are, first and foremost, Christians whose Holy Scripture admonishes us throughout to care for the poor. That Holy Bible begins by separating men and women created in his image that worship the Creator from pagan polytheists that worship the creation. Bowing down to fatted calves led the Chosen to 40 years of wandering in the wilderness. We can only hope that the last six years of wandering while the Democratic Party sacrifices coal and oil to their Man-Made Global Warming/Climate Change idol is interrupted as quickly as St. Patrick converted the heathen upon his return to Ireland.
Pope Francis, throughout his life in Argentina, famously rejected the siren song of the "Liberation Theology" heresy upon whose rocks so many Christian hopes for the poor have crashed since its inception in Latin America in the 1950s. Heresy, you say? Yes, because that religious movement, much like its so-called "social justice" political spin-off embraced by the Democratic Party since at least the late 1960s, is based upon the deadly sin of envy. Caring for the poor was translated into stealing from the rich in order that the thieves could claim virtue as they "gave" the wealth of others to the poor and, significantly, to government bureaucrats to manage the "giving."
Of course, the prospect of having one's hard-earned wealth taken away discourages the hard work necessary to create it in the first place, and that takes us to an even more fundamental aspect of how the Christianity St. Patrick bequeathed to the West has been fundamental to our having enough wealth for modern day liberal Democrats to spread around to begin with. Only in a culture that values the individual and, significantly, his right to the fruits of his labor, does 5000 years of history show that such wealth will be created by and for so many. Only with Ten Commandments Rule of Law, turn the other cheek tolerance and self government by a moral people did it reach its penultimate manifestation in Europe, and then its American apogee via We the People.
Pope Francis was punished by the Argentine Powers that Be when he stood up against euthanasia, abortion and same-sex marriage. That papal lover of Liberty who stood up against communism, Pope John Paul II, made him Arch Bishop soon after the white smoke announcing his election wafted above Vatican City.
Do liberal Democrats care about the poor?
Do they search for policies that will cause there to be less people in poverty while also providing sustenance to those presently poor? Or do they care more about being seen as caring for the poor via their support for policies favored by the power hungry whose favorable opinions they crave?
From whence do policies that raise the price of the source of the greatest reduction in poverty in world history come from, but from an incoherent "care" for the planet, possibly masking a greed for government power? I speak of coal and oil of course. Is it compassionate towards the poor to exalt the endangerment of a species of rat over the creation of jobs that will lift those created in God's image from poverty?
President Barack Obama has instructed all federal agencies to factor in the effect of climate change when deciding whether to approve construction projects. The Keystone XL pipeline has been "studied" for over five years as record numbers of Americans languish in unemployment, underemployment and poverty. It wasn't enough for liberal Democrats and majorities of the American people to clean up the air and water in the 1970s. The continuation of their power requires new bogeymen. Hence, the imagined threat to Arctic polar bears from an oil pipeline to justify three years and counting of an environmental impact "study" (some government bureaucrats got salaries at least?), and the demonizing of your SUV.
But if a liberal Democrat hasn't a supposed crisis handy, whether environmental or otherwise, there is always the sin of envy to fall back on. Hence the never-ending demand that the so-called rich pay more and more in taxes. Its sad that envy can't be eaten and digested, but after all, the sources of beef to be corned emit dangerous climate change gases. Can't power a car to get to work with a solar panel or windmill? Then move within walking distance of light rail that takes you to the food stamp office.
Christians introduced caring for the poor into humanity's ethos. Christians founded universities that teach science and base their reason on Natural Law. The free market that made America exceptional sprung in large part from the freedom God intended for individual Man.
The conservatives among us tire of being lectured to that caring for the poor is defined by ever more and bigger government and its minders that talk about caring for the poor, rather than producing the results of conservative policies grounded in Creator-ordained Liberty that have been proven time and time again to reduce the numbers of the poor and provide the excess wealth to sustain the poor that remain. Hopefully this year and three years from now enough Americans will have so tired of eating envy, instead of beef, that they will remove the Democrats from power who are sustained by its fomentation.

My Footprint series- Setting an Example with Trims and Samples
Series intro: Today's citizen is engaged, concerned, and most of all, confident; confident in his or her choice as a consumer, confident in his or her power as an employee, confident that change is possible.
The Footprint Chronicles were developed to document the changes we're making as a company to lighten our environmental impact and do less harm. These chronicles are as much an inspiration to Patagonia employees as they are an outgrowth of our personal values. The "My Footprint" series shares the stories of Patagonia friends and employees who have been inspired by the Chronicles, and whose inspiring lives help fuel the vision of what we can do as a company.
Their stories are offered here, glimpses of individual footprints spotted along the path toward positive change. We invite you to enjoy these personal accounts, and share your own in the Comments section included with these posts.
Two. Hundred. Thousand. Miles. If you're an astronaut, that translates to a one-way ticket to the moon or about 8 trips around the Earth at the equator. Barring shuttle pilots, mileage like that demands respect. Car owners boast when their odometers coast into 6-digit territory. With the average American annually clocking just over 12,000 miles behind the wheel, 200K means 16+ years of driving. As someone who's racked up 200,000 miles on his daily bike commute, Chris Carroll knows what each of those miles feel like. It makes him just the person you want to talk to when the subject turns to how small things, steadily accumulated, can add up to impressive results.
Chris is responsible for managing the warehousing and distribution of the various trims used on Patagonia garments. His Trims Department manages a staggering array of items: buttons, zippers, and snaps in colors to match virtually every Patagonia garment ever made; strips of elastic fabric for every arm, leg, waist, and hem of every sweater, jacket, and piece of Capilene® made over the decades; hook-and-loop closures for sleeves, luggage, messenger bags. And then there's the easy-to-overlook things, things like size tags, clothing care tags, and of course, every version of the Patagonia label one can recall.

Put simply, the items that fall under Chris's care are the parts of your Patagonia garment that you're least likely to notice. These same parts are what elevate Patagonia products from garden-variety garments to worthy representatives of our legendary quality. If you've ever struggled with a difficult zipper or purchased an off-brand item that just didn't look or feel well-made, you have a sense of the role Chris and his team play in making sure we build the best product.
Over the years, Chris's crew has turned their attention-to-detail to the second part of our mission statement "do the least harm." At our Reno Distribution Center, his team receives much of the bulk material that is used in the construction of our sales sample products. These "sales samples" are fully functional models of future products—theyre what clothing and gear stores need to see and touch before deciding what to stock for the upcoming season. As suggested above, a fleece jacket requires multiple ingredients; often, each of these items (zipper pulls, size tags, etc.) comes from a different manufacturer. It is important to deliver all of these ingredients in an organized way to the factory building that jacket. To illustrate: imagine asking someone to bake you a batch of brownies. They agree, and you can now either 1) send each ingredient individually, at different times, and then call with the recipe at some future undetermined time; or 2) send all of the ingredients in one tidy package, complete with baking instructions. Chris's team focuses on the latter strategy, and in so doing, ensures a much higher level of efficiency and accuracy – which translates to less waste.
After helping dial in the efficiency of our sample-manufacturing strategy, the question remained: how else can we streamline our processes? Being well-versed in efficient transportation, Chris logically turned to the extensive shipping and distribution of materials that was needed to make this whole process work. It didn't take long to realize a solution. As Chris states, "one of the major improvements [we've made is] to no longer bring sales sample fabric into Reno, especially fleece 3000 miles from the East Coast [before] sending it back to Miami or Texas for forwarding to South America for sample production. Kudos to Casey Sheehan (Patagonia CEO) and Doug Freeman (Patagonia VP of Production) who ultimately agreed and pulled the plug on that environmental and economic waste!"
Chris's rough estimates on the shipping dollars saved so far: $35,000 for our Spring 2009 samples and $45,000 for our Fall 2009 samples. It has not yet been determined how much of a positive carbon impact has been realized by this $80,000 annual reduction in shipping volume.
When asked if he has an idea of how much of a positive
impact his idea has had, Chris replies, "I didn't do anything special, it just
made sense. I'm just satisfied that we are doing samples more efficiently."
[Middle - Chris leans out of the way to allow a better view of the long row of the fleece fabric he's been trying to ship more efficiently. At approx. 5 feet long, 2 feet thick, and over 50lbs, each roll is bulky and expensive to transport. Bottom - boxes and boxes of zippers.

Cregeen's also serves regular pub fare like appetizers and burgers. We've heard that the Sunday Brunch is quite good. It is available from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. On Sundays.
Both the dishes we ordered were good. Really good. Until biting into clods of dirt embedded in the mashed potatoes. We wanted to like Cregeen's, we really did. Hopefully it was just an off night. We may try Cregeen's again but next time we are laying off the potatoes.

SmeXmas 2012 – REVIEW: The Spirit of Christmas by Liz Talley
The Spirit of Christmas by Liz Talley
Harlequin (Nov 2012) | Ebook, 288 pages
Contemporary Romance
If you want a sweet read for Christmas then you cant go far wrong with The Spirit of Christmas by Liz Talley. Its cute and lovely, although smacks a little ..(ok..on reflection, a lot) of the Dickens Classic, A Christmas Carol. Add to that you get two love stories for the price of one!
Mary Paige Gentry is running late! She has to be at the family christmas party, now, but she still has the necessary goofy Christmas Pressie to buy. Stopping her cab at a local store she rushes out (into a puddle which her heels don't thank her for) and discovers a vagrant, hunkered down amongst cardboard and newspapers. She offers him help only to be flipped off, so dashes back into the store to find a garish present. Whilst in there, despite a couple of problems, and the fact that she is in a rush, she decides to give the tramp a coffee… and when she gets back to him and finds he has bare feet, her kind nature ends in her slipping the crazy socks she has bought as her gift, onto the poor old mans naked, ice cold blocks of feet. And from then on, nothing will ever be the same for Mary Paige again. You see, the tramp isn't a tramp, but a multibillionaire businessman who is looking for a person to be The Spirit of Christmas in his new marketing campaign, and rewards Mary Paige's kindness with a cheque for two million dollars.
Naturally, the heir to his business, Brennan Henry, thinks his grandfather has a screw loose, and is even less thrilled to hear that he is being dragged into the campaign too, being expected to accompany Mary Paige on a tour around the cities. Brennan doesnt do Christmas, and he is all about the bottom line where the business is concerned. The only reason he agrees to go through with his grandfathers plans is because he believes the idea to be financially sound, and he has to keep himself in the old chaps good books. But the more he gets to know Mary Paige, the more he likes her, and the feeling is mutual.
Mary Paige seems to be a nice enough sort and manages to give Brennan the Scrooge a run for his money. Brennan has good reason for not liking the Christmas Season, which you find out a little way into the story, and its lovely to see him thawing and opening up to Mary Paige as the storyline progresses.
The Spirit of Christmas is a typical Harlequin Romance. A sweet storyline, with dramas and misunderstandings, but it all comes good in the end. I loved Brennan's grandfather. He made me smile so much, and his storyline was a lovely thread running through the book. It's a good reminder of what Christmas should be about, instead of it all being about me, me, me, lets have a bit more for you, for you, for you.

text: Fred Anderson made his first visit to Europe, accompanied by his long-term partner, trumpeter Billy Brimfield, in February, 1977. The two Chicagoans appeared as featured guests with Neighbours, an Austrian trio led by pianist Dieter Glawischnig, and with that group they recorded the album Accents (Musicians Record Company). Anderson toured Europe for the first time with an ensemble of his own a year later, including an appearance at the Seventh International New Jazz Festival Moers, in Germany, where he and a group with trombonist George Lewis recorded Another Place (Moers Music). At the invitation of Moers director Burkhard Hennen, Anderson returned for a follow-up appearance at the festival, from which the tenor saxophonist and his working quartet embarked on a tour by train that took them to stages in Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Italy. The day before they left on that second European sojourn, the Fred Anderson Quartet performed at home in Chicago at the Museum of Contemporary Art, as part of an ongoing series of AACM concerts presented by the museum. The MCA gig was taped and later issued on the tiny Austrian label Message Records. Released in a small batch, it rather quickly became the rarest item in Fred Andersons vinyl discography and has until now been a treasured collectors item heard by only a handful of Anderson fans. In reissuing this LP, we at UMS decided to augment it with an especially hot tape from the ensuing tour of Europe. Four days after the MCA concert, the Anderson four wowed a big crowd in Verona, Italy. Their performance was recorded very nicely, with the exception of some creative panning done live to the master tape, which careful listeners will notice on the CD and twenty-two years later the music remains as crisp and exciting as it must have then. Listening back, Anderson can hardly believe its that old. "Could be yesterday," he says, smiling widely. Brimfield, who sounds particularly strong on these dates, had been with Anderson since the very early days, at the dawn of the 60s. Anderson recalls the two of them practicing endless hours in the basement of his house in Evanston, composing and working out fat-sounding two-part harmonies on a book of highly adaptable original pieces, some of the same compositions that they were playing twenty-plus years later. "This was before the AACM," he says. "I used to have Steve Colson, all the guys, over to my basement. Wed be up until all hours listening to records...my wife used to get so angry. I remember when Joseph Jarman came over, before Song For [1966] even." Two decades of collaboration cemented Anderson and Brimfields musical relationship by the time they stormed Europe. On the second tour with Andersons own band, they travelled with Hank (now Hamid) Drake, the sensational drummer with whom Anderson continues to work, and bassist Steve Palmore. When the quartet returned to Chicago, Palmore stopped off in New York and didnt return; the next chapter of the Anderson quartet began as they set about looking for a replacement, which soon came in the form of Larry Hayrod. As for Drake, who contributes the piece "The Prayer" (later retitled "Bombay (Children of Cambodia)"), on these recordings he is a youthful 23 and he already has the earmarks of being one of the all-time greats. Verona is a showcase for his musicianship, the value of which will not be amplified by hyperbolic description listen and judge for yourself. "Every time we played those pieces they were different," says Anderson. For a demonstration, listen to the versions of "Dark Day" that bookend this two-disc set. "Taking them in a new direction we made a point of that." John Corbett, Chicago, June 2001

Yasukuni Shrine
This particular shrine has been surrounded by controversy over the years, mainly because of the 14 convicted war criminals who have been interred there. Notably, Prime Minister General Hideki Tojo, the man directly responsible for the attack on Pearl Harbor, was enshrined at Yasukuni after his execution in 1948. Hundreds of thousands of people visit the shrine every year, some as an act of patriotism and others as a political statement geared at Japan's neighbors in Asia.
In spite of the controversy, the Yasukuni Shrine remains one of Japan's few tributes to World War II, and a visit is often a touching experience. For an interesting look at a Japanese take on the war, stop by the Yushukan museum on the grounds of the shrine.

Disney to Launch "Frog Princess" in 2009 and "Toy Story 3" in 2010
Future now is clear for both "The Frog Princess" and "Toy Story 3" as Walt Disney Studios has finally settled on the year to release these two animated features for all family to enjoy in the theaters.
Walt Disney Feature Animation exec John Lasseter has opened up in an appearance during Disney's annual shareholder meeting in New Orleans that "Toy Story 3" has been plotted to come to the surface in 2010 while confirming that it is indeed in production with Tom Hanks and Tim Allen returning to voice Woody and Buzz Lightyear, respectively.
The tenth computer-animated feature produced by Pixar Animation Studios, pic is the latest of the mega-hit franchise which has collected over $430 million in domestic market only from two previous installments. While plot details of the movie have not yet been revealed, Lasseter claimed that the filmmakers indeed have "got a great story."
Meanwhile, for "Frog Princess", Lasseter, along with The Walt Disney Studios chairman Dick Cook, revealed during the same occasion that the picture would come one year before "Toy Story 3" instead. Based on an original story written by duo John Musker and Ron Clements, it is a musical set in the legendary birthplace of jazz, New Orleans, and presents the story about Maddy, a young African-American girl living amid the charming elegance and grandeur of the fabled French Quarter.
"Like many of Disney's most popular fairy tales, it has elements of magic, fantasy, adventure, heart, humor, and music," so Cook said as he described the film's story. "The film's New Orleans setting and strong princess character give the film lots of excitement and texture."
UPDATE 05/12/2007: Movie title changed from "The Frog Princess" to "The Princess and the Frog".

I know I'm supposed to sit here and offer up some perspective on how, irregardless of in-game happenings, the only thing that matters at the end of the day is whether a team won or lost. And yes, plenty of criticism is warranted in the wake of the Toronto Raptors (22-21) surrendering 126 points en route to a 126-118 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers.
But man, what a fun, eventful, crazy game!
Terrence Ross clearly gets the headline billing here, looking like a man possessed en route to an out-of-nowhere, franchise record-tying 51 points on 16-29 shooting, including 10 made threes on 17 attempts and 9-10 shooting from the line. His scoring outburst was directly connected to a potentially scary ankle injury to DeMar DeRozan (caused by Hedo Turkoglu, sure enough), who managed just two second half minutes before being forced to the bench. Patrick Patterson also joined the mash unit with a broken nose, ironically suffered on a play for which he was called for a foul.
In the end, huge offensive nights from Blake Griffin (30 points on 10-18 shooting) and Jamal Crawford (37 points on 12-23 shooting, 11 assists) were too much for even a performance that evoked memories of the Vince Carter era to overcome.
The Good:
T. Ross!
It took me longer than I care to admit to write this paragraph, if only because I was stumped on how to properly convey how out of the blue, random and stunning Ross' historic outburst was. Instead of deciding on one eye-popping stat/factoid, I'll throw a bunch at you. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, he is the first player in NBA history to top 50 while averaging less than 10 points per game. In the six games leading up to Saturday's explosion, Ross had scored a combined 48 points. Heck, he hadn't scored so many as 40 at any level of basketball, let alone the pros. Ross said all the right things afterwards about focusing on the team and being disappointed by the loss, but how could you blame him for being a little amped about matching (and coming one late free throw miss away from surpassing) the franchise scoring mark set by Carter vs. Phoenix on February 27, 2000 (Ross had just turned nine at the time).
Well, That Was Fun
To steal the intro from Cathal Kelly's recap, fans in attendance at the ACC on Saturday night got full value and then some for their ticket. On top of Ross' unforgettable night, you had 244 points scored, a bevy of ferocious dunks, a pre-game dunk spectacle by the Clippers, a big night from the immensely watchable Griffin, two Raptor double-doubles (Jonas Valanciunas had 17 points and 12 rebounds, while Kyle Lowry had 11 points and 12 assists), a number of chances to boo Turkoglu and an exciting finish (up until a late 13-3 run by L.A., anyway). Toss in some additional in-game entertainment (more on that below) and it was clear than an evening billed as "Fan Appreciation Night" came through in a big way.
The Bad:
With Chris Paul on the shelf, you'd have thought that the Clippers would be at least somewhat out of sorts with a historically turnover-prone Darren Collison taking the place of one of the league's best and most stable floor generals. However, it was the Raps who looked shaky with the ball, committing 14 turnovers to just six for the Clips, an unbelievably low total for such a high octane offence. Lowry, Ross and Greivis Vasquez committed three turnovers apiece.
DeRozan's Ankle
The severity of DeRozan's ankle sprain remains to be determined, but any thought of an extended absence from the team's leading scorer is a scary proposal. With a match-up with the fast-charging Brooklyn Nets coming on Monday, it isn't exactly a prime time to be losing such a key contributor (not that there is such a thing).
Weak Finish
The Raps have earned enough respect in my books for me to criticize them for a finish that, in other years, I likely would have shrugged off as an inevitable fall-apart. By criticizing what was a 24-13 Clippers' run to end the game, I acknowledge that I should be able to expect Toronto to keep pace with Los Angeles. So here it is: the Raps didn't possess the same confidence nor competitive fire in the latter stages of the fourth quarter as they did throughout the rest of the game, creating a meek compliance to the Clippers' assertive, physical play.
The Random:
On most nights, a halftime performance by Tag Team, the hip-hop duo of "Whoop, There It Is" fame (as in, "Tag Team, back again...") would be more than enough to take sole acknowledgment in this space. However, on this particular Saturday night, an evidently soused Laurence Fishburne took centre stage in exuberant fashion.
The Opposition:
The Miami Heat wouldn't have much hope without LeBron James. The Oklahoma City Thunder would really be in trouble minus Kevin Durant. The Clippers? They seem to be coming along just fine without CP3, going 8-3 and seeing continued development from Griffin and Most Improved Player candidate DeAndre Jordan (who had a relatively quiet six points and 11 rebounds on Saturday). Toss is some dead-eye shooters and a deep bench and, yeah, the Clips are good.
Next Up:
Big game looming in Brooklyn on Monday night (7:30pm, TSN). The DeRozan factor is huge, but so is the Nets' ability to shift their focus 24 hours after Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett make their return to Boston.
Prediction: Nets 105, Raps 97 (25-10 this season)

Box Score | UCLA Baseball on Facebook
Tempe, Ariz. - The seventh-ranked UCLA Baseball team lost the second game of its three-game set with Arizona State on Friday night, falling to the Sun Devils, 7-4, in front of 3,561 at Packard Stadium.
Ryan Kellogg picked up his sixth win of the season for Arizona State, pitching eight innings and allowing four earned runs on eight hits. Freshman Cody Poteet took the loss to move 1-2 on the year after allowing three runs in an inning of relief. Junior right-hander Nick Vander Tuig started the game for the Bruins and gave up four runs on five hits in five innings of work. Vander Tuig also struck out five and walked two.
After a scoreless first inning, UCLA got on the board first in the top of the second. Junior Pat Valaika singled to lead off the inning before junior Kevin Williams sacrificed him over to second, bringing up sophomore Shane Zeile. Zeile then laced a single to left to score Valaika to make it 1-0 Bruins.
The lead would be short lived though, as Arizona State scored four runs in the bottom half of the inning. Jake Peevyhouse led off with a double for the Sun Devils after hitting a fly ball to center that UCLA center fielder Brian Carroll lost in the lights. Two batters later, Nathaniel Causey doubled down the right field line to bring home Peevyhouse, tying the game at 1-1. Vander Tuig struck out the next hitter, but he walked Johnny Sewald to bring up Arizona State right fielder Casey Koffman with two runners on. Koffman would clear the bases with a three-run home run to right off of Vander Tuig, giving the Sun Devils a 4-1 advantage.
The Bruins got one back in the top of the fifth when Zeile smashed a solo homer to left off of Kellogg, cutting Arizona State's lead to 4-2. UCLA struck again in the top of the sixth, when sophomore Kevin Kramer and Valaika hit back-to-back doubles with two outs to cut the deficit to 4-3. Valaika nearly tied the game up with his double, as the ball hit the top of the left field wall, falling just a few inches short of a home run. It would not matter though, as Williams hit a clutch single to center in the next at-bat to score Valaika and even the game at 4-4.
For the second time in the game, the Sun Devils took the lead right back in the bottom of the inning, getting three runs across in their half of the sixth. Poteet came in to relieve Vander Tuig and allowed back-to-back singles to start the inning. Dalton DiNatale then came to the plate for Arizona State and hit a fly ball to right that looked to be an easy sacrifice fly. Sophomore Eric Filia caught the ball and made a terrific throw to the plate, but Arizona State shortstop Drew Stankiewicz slid around Zeile's tag to give the lead back to the Sun Devils. Two batters later, Coffman came to the plate and hit another home run to right to bring the lead up to 7-4 in Arizona State's favor.
The Bruins were held scoreless for the remaining three innings and Arizona State went on to claim the 7-4 victory over UCLA.
Zeile led the Bruins at the plate, going 2-4 with a home run and two RBI. Valaika also put together a multi-hit night, recording two hits in four at-bats while also scoring two runs. On the mound, freshman James Kaprielian made his first appearance since Feb. 24 at Baylor, throwing two innings of scoreless relief while striking out five of the nine batters he faced.
The Bruins (17-6, 5-3 Pac-12) and Sun Devils (15-7-1, 4-4 Pac-12) will conclude their series tomorrow afternoon at 12:30 p.m. Sophomore left-hander Grant Watson (5-0, 1.13 ERA) will start the series finale for UCLA.
Game Notes: This marks the first time all year that UCLA has dropped back-to-back games...Shane Zeile's home run was the first of his collegiate career...Brian Carroll extended his streak of reaching base safely to 21 consecutive games...with his stolen base in the third inning, Carroll has also now stolen 13 bases in his last 14 attempts...James Kaprielian has now struck out 12 of the 22 batters he has faced this season...Pat Valaika recorded his 10th multi-hit game of the year.
