Buck 65 canadian radio interview this wed. And more
The Mich Vish Interracial Morning Show will be interviewing Buck 65 this Wednesday morning. If you can't tune in live at 8:05 am on 93.3 FM or
to hear this interview with Buck 65, you can listen to it for up to 30 days here:
Here is an interview Vich did with Buck 65 for AOL.ca
It really is a wonderful thing, Terfry says blissfully. When it comes right down to it, its nice to have a job and a roof over your head. But, in the final analysis, whats more important and more fulfilling for a person in their time on earth than love? Finding that person to share all of that good stuff with? You know darn well what youd do if ever faced with one of those weird, hypothetical scenarios where you have to choose between that great love and that cheque or whatever youre chasing.
But Terfrys not just over the moon about his new ladyfriend Emilyyou can feel the warmth all over his latest record 'Situation,' an indisputable return to his first true love: hip-hop.
A chameleon and culture sponge by nature, Terfry has staked out a unique place for himself artistically, drawing inspiration from Afrika Bambaataa and Kool Keith just as easily as Woody Guthrie and Tom Waits.
Always innovative within the fundamentals of hip-hop, he literally disavowed the genre in the early part of this decade after feeling out of place in the culture and, worse still, growing disenchanted with the music himself. Far from gangsta posturing and hot beats, Buck 65 began crafting more abstract sounds and poetryconnecting hip-hop to free-spirited folk, vaudevillian spectacle and jarring post-rockand the experience left him alienated, self-conscious about whatever street cred he'd accumulated in underground hip-hop circles over the years.
A lot of my beliefs and expectations about the music remain the sametheres still a lot of things about it that make me sick, that break my heart, but its like any relationship. For any two people whove been in love for a long time, theres an equal measure of hatred that goes on there.
With 'Situation,' hes hooked up with his old DJ pupil Skratch Bastid (a.k.a. Paul Murphy) to make a classic hip-hop record that pulses with joy and clarity of purpose.
I had a personal renaissance, a renewed love affair, not just with hip-hop itself, Terfry says. I still go through my same ups and downs and have my same criticisms. [Besides], if a record like 'Situation' can be seen as a return to hip-hop, its still hip-hop as seen by me. This record does not sound like a Lil Wayne record. Even if I tried to make a record like that, itd come out sounding like something else altogether."
Throughout his career, Terfry has written from a deeply personal perspective making his records powerfully candid and moody. With its loose theme about the significance of 1957 as a watershed year in historical and cultural terms (i.e. the dawn of the Situationist International, the Cold War, Elvis, Bettie Page, the Beat generation, Chinas Great Leap Forward, etc.), 'Situation' may be the most impersonal effort yet for Buck 65the record that tells us the least about his wanting desires and battered heart. But while Terfry acknowledges hes more distant this time around, he also sees his muse in a different light.
Love is joyous and wonderful and beautiful. Its also agony at times, real misery, he says. I just generally feel more emotional and its always been emotion in one form or another that has drawn me to expression. To go beyond that and get more personal, you meet a person and you take an interest in their whole lifewhat theyre interested in, what their pursuits are. My better half is a real bookworm with a background in art and art history. When Im visiting her, Ill actually go to school with her. So lately, when Im able to, Ive been attending classes on the Italian High Renaissance. Ive been going to classes on film noir and cinematography and Im learning things. Im watching a new noir masterpiece every week and its inspiring me. Im learning about Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and Raphael, and all of these important figures and its really feeding me. Its got me turned on.
When I look back, Im gonna see how it inspired me and think, If it wasnt for Emily, that song might never have happened.
However analytical and self-aware, Buck 65 is a hopeless romantic. Its a side of him that filters through his darkest material and, in discussing his current mindset, he reveals a particularly balanced perspective.
Im a big fan of Lucinda Williams and people have said that she writes a great record when her heart is broken, Terfry says. I can appreciate that but it definitely works on both sidestragedy has always been a big thing for me and even new love can sometimes have a real misery that goes along with it. Even when times are really great, Ill still be coming up with sad songs. [However] writing from a place of joy helpsits a cliché, but being in love changes the way you see everything. Even a junkyard looks really beautiful.
Like many starry-eyed musicians before him, Terfry must leave romance behind for a world tour. Crafty as ever though, he's coordinated the European leg to coincide with a study-abroad assignment for Emily, so the two can meet for an extended stay in Paris when his own work is done. Even this seemingly minor scheduling matter is an inspired decision made by a man determined to balance his love life with the life he loves.
"My love for what I'm doing is only getting stronger every day and heck, the road is calling," Terfry says finally. "That's where my life is and that'll never change. That's a really uncomplicated world out there and so, I'll just keep making records and go from city to city playing them for people."

Among the 1,000 or so graves in historic Harmar Cemetery-Marietta's oldest graveyard-are the final resting places of three men bearing the name of Levi Barber who lived in the Harmar district from 1799 to 1899.
Levi Barber Sr. was born in 1777 in Simsbury, Conn. By 1799 he arrived in Ohio as a surveyor and spent some time in the Monroe and Washington counties areas surveying for Gen. Rufus Putnam, according to the website www.geneal.net/.
In 1803 he married Elisabeth Rouse and the couple set up house in the Fort Street area of the Harmar district.

SAM SHAWVER The Marietta Times
Fort Street resident Ed Engle is shown amid the graves of his Barber family ancestors Thursday in the historic Harmar Cemetery in Marietta
"Levi was only 26 when he moved into this area. He must have been a pretty gutsy guy to have come here at that time," said Ed Engle, a direct descendant who lives in the 407 Fort St. home originally built by Levi Barber Sr. in 1829.
Levi Sr. served in the rank of colonel during the War of 1812 and later became Clerk of the Court of Common Pleas and Supreme Court of Washington County. He was also elected to the U.S. Congress in 1817 and 1821 as a member of the Whig Party.
Engle said during Levi's time as a congressman he remained concerned for his family's affairs.
Article Map
That's apparent in a letter from Levi Sr. to wife Elisabeth from Washington, D.C., dated Jan. 7, 1818:
"I am still enjoying very good health, and the weather very fine and moderate. We have had no snow here yet. By yesterday's mail I did not receive a letter from Marietta. I have generally had some anxiety for mail. I hope you will keep the children to school. It will be as much as you can do to keep them clothed. I wish you to see that they have shoes worn and removed in season....
"I have nothing new. Give my love to all the children. I hope you and them will write often. Affectionately, Adieu, L. Barber."
Fact Box
About Harmar Cemetery
- Located at the end of Wood Street in Marietta, off Gilman Avenue.
- The oldest cemetery in the Northwest Territory, opened in 1796.
- Approximately five acres.
- Known burials at Harmar Cemetery total more than 1,000.
- Final resting place of early pioneers, including many Revolutionary War and Civil War veterans.
- The cemetery is owned and maintained by the City of Marietta.
After his two terms in Congress, Levi Sr. returned to the original family home that was also located on Fort Street, next door to the new home he eventually built in 1829. The couple had five children.
"Many people don't know he and Elisabeth only lived in the new house for a few years before they both died," Engle noted.
Elizabeth died in 1831, and Levi Sr. in 1833.
Their son, Levi Barber Jr., was born in 1814 and named for his father as well as for an older brother, Levi Barber II who died in infancy.
Levi Jr. was a local real estate merchant who served in the rank of captain in the Union Army with the 36th Ohio Regiment during the Civil War. He was later promoted to Provost Marshal, headquartered in the Harmar district.
He married Abigail Kelly of Marietta. The couple also lived in the home at 407 Fort St. where they raised six children, including the last member of the family to bear the name Levi.
Born in 1839, Levi III had disabilities from birth. His legs were useless, and by age 32 use of his arms was also limited, according to the genealogy website.
Engle said he lived in the Fort Street home until he died in 1899. His death was listed as a suicide.
"My great-grandmother, Lucy Mayberry Barber, was his sister," Engle noted. "She married my great-grandfather, Capt. James Franklin Cole, who was a river engineer."
He said Cole reportedly died of meningitis in St. Louis, Mo., in 1881, leaving his wife with little to live on and two children to raise.
"She also took care of Levi III until he died," Engle said.
Engle's parents moved into the Barber house in 1946.
"I was raised in this house, but moved to Wheelersburg, Ohio, in 1965," he said.
After his mother passed away in 2001, Engle and his wife, Cathy, considered selling the Barber home for a time.
"When his mother died we weren't thinking at the time that we would be moving here," Cathy said.
But Ed said he couldn't bring himself to sell the place, and in 2006 he and Cathy moved in.
"I'm really glad we did," he said.
Since then the Engles have been working to restore the home.
"The fact that my family's ancestors lived here played a large part in our decision to move here," Ed said. "It's been a job to restore the place, but I don't complain because it's something I've really enjoyed doing."
In addition to the Barbers, there is plenty of other history in the Harmar district, according to Marietta Councilman Tom Vukovic in whose ward the historic Harmar Cemetery is located.
"It's one of Marietta's most historically significant cemeteries, and one of the jewels located in the Harmar district," he said.

'how about i be more positive, & u be more realistic instead of away with the fairies'
Deal, any hint of negativity and I'll send the boys round! you must exude positive thoughts and opinions until the new year at least! you'll be surprised how much better it makes you feel, its a great habit to get into. In turn I shall tell those fairies to bugger off! Deal?
'im waiting for lennon to break his leg on the stroke of half time.
then have u saying we should still win if lennon reappears for the 2nd half!' Maybe a slight overstatement on your part, maybe I should just ask: how long until we should expect ' ' back? would that be better?
I hadn't heard how long Bale was due to be out for, but thanks for affirming the predicted injury time. I was merely asking how long Kaboul had left until we can expect to see him, I did ask a month or so ago, but clearly things change and as there is only 2 weeks until Xmas, isn't it feasible Younes could be back soon?
The sooner the better IMO.
Sarcasm is one of my middle names!
A pleasure as ever SB.
Think I have to agree with you on this one SB, going to be very tough.

I'm feelin' slightly more optimistic about this than you two.
A lot will depend on who we have available. IMO our chances are decent enough as long as we have Bale, Daws, Sandro and Moussa D starting. Despite Dempsey having a couple of good games recently, I'd still rather AVB started with Defoe and Ade.
Any word on Kaboul or BAE coming back? IMO our strongest CB pairing would be Kaboul and Vertonghen, which I can't wait to see. IMO Naughton has done OK (considering he's not a natural LB, but IMO BAE will make a difference on his return. I'd be looking for a LB in Jan if the budget allowed it.

LODI — Murder charges will be pursued against a 28-year-old Lodi man who authorities said got behind the wheel of his SUV last Tuesday with a "complete disregard for human life" and caused a horrific crash that killed five members of the same family, an unborn child and critically injured a 9-year-old.
Ryan Morales, 28, is believed to have been under the influence of alcohol and driving his 2002 GMC Yukon at "freeway speeds" on southbound Ham Lane when he entered the Vine Street intersection and collided with two other vehicles and involved four other vehicles that could not avoid the wreckage, Lodi Police Chief Mark Helms said on Monday.
Helms spoke in front of the media about the crash for the first time on Monday, providing some new information including that the only reason Morales has not already been arrested is that he is still being treated at a Sacramento hospital and is not medically cleared to be in jail.

So the 2013 Six Nations championship has ended and weekends somehow seem bare. Yet the memories we can take from this year's tournament will keep us warm until the Lions tour is upon us. And what memories they are. From an outstanding Welsh victory to win the tournament to the surprise of the French team receiving the wooden spoon, no one can say that these two positions in the final table were not richly deserved.
Aside from the dreadful first half display against the Irish, Wales did not concede a try, nor did they look like it. The Welsh regrouped and ground out hard fought wins until the final game against England was upon them. That game was a delight to watch, unless of course you are an English supporter. It would not be beyond the realms of possibility to see the entire Welsh 15 from that day picked for the Lions touring party, owing to their performances and not Warren Gatland's Welsh disposition.
Let's not forget Italy either. Their stunning victory over France followed up with 3 hard fought matches, including an agonisingly close encounter with England and then finishing with a delightful victory over Ireland. It seems the Italians posed a lot of questions for the Irish and the English exposing their respective weaknesses.
So it seems that Mr Gatland will have a tough decision when selecting his touring party. It seems that whilst there were those who certainly vehemently stated their case for inclusion, there were also those who seemed to shy away from the spotlight and fade from memory. Those standing out for their positive performances would be Leigh Halfpenny, Geoff Parling and Stuart Hogg. It seems hard to pick many positive displays from a distinctly lacklustre Irish team for the entire tournament. However, some performances won't warrant inclusion, for example Alex Goode, Chris Ashton and Euan Murray, who had been previously touted for selection.
With the results of the tournament reflecting the performances of the teams, it serves to show that the Lions party will undoubtedly have a majority of Welsh names on the sheet and that Ireland will be struggling for numbers through injury and poor performance. The English contingent will no doubt be strong, but not as many as they would like. The Scots traditionally have a handful of numbers but there were some cracking performances in their ranks which can provide hope of a vociferous tartan touring party.
The captaincy will be up for grabs, with Sam Warburton seemingly playing better when not captaining Wales, but this could be the making of him. Brain O'Driscoll will surely put his name in the hat given his experience and undeniable talent, but are his performances good enough? You can then look for the leaders in your team, the likes of Alun Wyn Jones, to put their hands up and be the man to roar the Lions to victory. Chris Robshaw will no doubt be in the party, but does he command the respect of the tourists with his lack of experience?
It will inevitably be the source of much debate, deliberation and bar room talk as to who should go and who should stay. The selection dilemma this year seems stronger than ever and it will no doubt need some bold decisions from Gatland and the management to pick the right blend of experience, talent, flair and athleticism to cut the Wallabies down to size come June.

We have a rare piece of good news, Bay Area air travelers: You'll still be taking off your Nikes and throwing out those bottles of Crystal Geyser at the security line -- but at least a TSA agent won't be looking at an X-ray picture of your naked body.
Mineta San Jose and Oakland international airports on Friday said they will soon be removing the Bay Area's last remaining scanners that allow security agents to peek under your clothes. By June, they'll be replaced by similar scanners that provide only a generic stick-figurelike outline, or avatar, along with a picture of any items that you may be stowing away under your clothes.
The switch is part of a nationwide changeover in which the Transportation Security Administration will swap out 174 full-body scanners around the country, covering virtually all of the nation's big airports that still use the machines. San Francisco International swapped out its scanners about three years ago.
Some San Jose passengers on Friday afternoon said they'll be counting down the days until the machines are gone.
"They make me very uncomfortable," said Marcela Sanchez, 54, as her family from Colorado waited for a flight after a visit to the Bay Area. "Especially for us women. I'll be very happy when they get rid of these machines."
Her husband Luis, 53, agreed, adding that the government "needs to use some common sense" on the issue.
Other travelers, however, said they've simply gotten used to the machines, like many of the other inconveniences of post-9/11 travel.
"It's just another one of those intrusive things," said another Colorado traveler visiting Silicon Valley, 54-year-old Vicki Burrows. "It doesn't really tick me off."
It comes after an outcry from privacy activists and passengers led Congress to demand the machines be swapped out. The TSA ramped up installation of the machines after a man deemed the "underwear bomber" was caught with explosives under his clothes on a Detroit-bound flight on Christmas Day 2009.
The TSA said the San Jose airport will replace its eight scanners while Oakland airport will replace five. Most of the machines were installed in 2010.
Passengers who don't want to use the screeners get a pat-down by a TSA agent -- which usually takes longer and can be more invasive. Passengers will still have that choice once the new machines are installed.
The TSA said the machines by Torrance-based manufacturer Rapiscan will be removed because the company was unable to replace them with new machines that do not show the naked-body image. Rapiscan will pay for the removal of the machines, though the TSA did not say how much the new machines would cost or how they would be funded.
The new scanners are made by New York-based L-3 Communications, the kind already in place at SFO, which show screeners the avatar image using a technology known as Automated Target Recognition.
The TSA began using the machines in 2007, and they were tested at airports such as SFO in 2006. SFO received the L-3 machines in 2009 and 2010.
Privacy activists celebrated Friday's announcement.
"I think it's one less thing to worry about," said Marc Rotenberg, executive director of the Electronic Privacy Information Center, a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit that sued to block the machines.
The new scanners, he said, "don't allow TSA officials to view air travelers stripped naked. And that is a big difference."

The tragic story of Truman Capote
Published: Sunday, December 9, 2012 at 1:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, December 8, 2012 at 11:06 p.m.
Truman Capote was known as much for his writing as he was for his personal flamboyance and affinity for the celebrity limelight.
Born and raised in the South, Capote befriended author Harper Lee as a child and was said to be the inspiration for the character Dill in her famous novel, "To Kill a Mockingbird."
His climb up the social ranks began after he moved to New York to live with his mother. He wrote short stories for magazines such as Mademoiselle and Harper's Bazaar.
His first book, "Other Voices, Other Rooms," made Capote a star and cemented his place as one of America's finest authors — not to mention one of its most provocative figures. The book was about a boy who falls in love with a transvestite.
Capote said his next book, "Breakfast at Tiffany's," was about an "American geisha." His masterpiece, "In Cold Blood," was about two killers.
It was that last work, proclaimed as a new standard for nonfiction writing, that propelled Capote to the upper reaches of society.
His famed Masked Black and White Ball of 1966 drew the likes of Frank Sinatra, Mia Farrow and Henry Ford. And he rubbed elbows with Johnny Carson and Andy Warhol.
Author Norman Mailer called Capote "the most perfect writer of my generation."
After "In Cold Blood," Capote never finished another book, although he spent years promoting a manuscript called "Answered Prayers."
He was later criticized for wasting the rest of his life, talent and health, while pursuing personal publicity and destructive partying.
A 1978 appearance on a New York television show made national headlines when Capote seemed groggy and rambled incoherently about his drug and alcohol problems. Show host Stanley Siegel asked what would happen if Capote could not "lick" the habits.
"The obvious answer is that eventually I'll kill myself, without meaning to," Capote said.
Six years later, at age 59, Capote died at a friend's home in Los Angeles, the result of liver disease complicated by his drug use.

Morrisons Update Reveals Polarized U.K. Retail Sector
Disappointing festive sales from U.K. grocer Wm Morrison Monday underscored an increasingly polarized retail sector as hard-up shoppers searched out bargains online or at discount stores.
The U.K.'s fourth-largest supermarket chain reported a 2.5% decline in same-store sales excluding VAT and fuel in the six weeks to Dec. 30, broadly in line with expectations, and avoided a profit warning by maintaining tight cost control.
Morrisons is the only major supermarket without an online grocery offer or an established convenience store network, the dearth of which is beginning to impact growth potential, while competition from discount stores like Aldi and Lidl are eating away at all the quoted retailers.
Chief Executive Dalton Philips told reporters Monday that he will reveal online grocery plans in March but insisted that Morrisons could benefit from "late-mover advantage" avoiding the pitfalls of its rivals and focusing on profitability.
Online grocery currently accounts for around 5% of U.K. grocery sales but is growing at 20% a year, and web sales across the sector are proving a key differentiator among hard-pressed retailers.
Clothing chain Next on Thursday reported a 3.9% rise in sales between Nov. 1 and Dec. 24, buoyed by its popular online and directory business, which offset continued decline in retail store like-for-like sales.
Morrisons is widely expected to have been the low point in supermarket retail updates J Sainsbury and Tesco are due to report Wednesday and Thursday, respectively, and are expected to have enjoyed positive sales growth.
After five years of austerity, intermittent recession and constrained consumers, the polarization of the retail sector remains stark. The number of retail failures has been growing steadily, with 194 going to the wall in 2012, according to Deloitte, up from 183 and 165 in the prior two years. The next two weeks will expose the winners and losers.
Retail sales data from the British Retail Consortium due Tuesday will shed more light on the difficulties faced by the sector.

(WOMENSENEWS)-- Other than raindrops, April is showering us with the return of three smart cable comedy/dramas with fascinating female protagonists. HBO's "Veep" (second season) and Showtime's "Nurse Jackie" (fifth season) debut on April 14. HBO's "The Big C" returns for its fourth and final season on April 29.
If only Lena Dunham, the creator/star of HBO's "Girls," which recently ended its second season, considered taking lessons from these other cable shows that present far more compelling, well-written and prismatic looks at the modern woman.
Sure, these heroines are a few decades older than the "Girls." But age isn't the big difference.
In "Veep," Julia Louis-Dreyfus's Vice President Selina Meyer takes on the glass ceiling in Washington, D.C.
In "Nurse Jackie," Edie Falco's nurse Jackie Peyton takes on drug addiction while saving lives.
In "The Big C," Laura Linney's teacher/housewife Cathy Jamison takes on terminal cancer.
And in "Girls," Dunham's college grad Hannah Horvath takes on . . . what? Well, that's the problem. Horvath sort of wants a boyfriend, sort of wants a writing career and sort of needs a job to survive in Brooklyn, N.Y. She wanders around with her three educated girlfriends who are also chasing their respective tails, all making half-hearted stabs at possible love and self-fulfillment.
Joblessness and unpaid internships are obviously a viable concern for this generation of post-college grads. But these characters are so extraordinarily casual about jobs -- when they do get them -- that "Girls" isn't an accurate representation of the frustration of today's young women.
If this show was a satire, or a flat-out comedy, then perhaps the missteps would be humorous, allowing us to relate to the frustrations and socio-economic challenges of the day. But since Dunham frames "Girls" as the honest voice of today's post-collegiate, urban woman (per Dunham's NPR's Fresh Air interview: "It's supposed to feel honest"), the show takes on a sheen of self-importance that is both hyperbolic and inaccurate.
From Dunham's perspective, it's as if every 20-something woman sporting a college degree severely lacks an inner compass on everything from how to choose an appropriate mate to whether snorting copious amounts of cocaine is the best way to research a story.
Other Perspectives
So much for one skewed perspective. How about looking at others?
As a quick-paced quip fest, "Veep" comes closest to the classic model of a modern comedy such as "30 Rock." The characters' agendas are made manifest by their actions, often playing in perfect counterpoint to their facile verbiage. The outrageous humor is mined from the interweaving of the powerless and the powerful, with a nod toward the ever-challenging role of women in U.S. government.
In "Nurse Jackie," the principal characters' sarcasm belies their hearts of gold. Similar to "Veep," the characters often speak in a rapid-fire patter, as befits a disparate group of medical professionals contending with one crisis after another. But in their off-hours, their crises revolve around love and family, their pain and humanity revealed.
As for "The Big C," Linney is nothing short of superb as a woman grappling with a possibly terminal case of melanoma. Over three seasons, the writers/producers have created a heroine who turns from closeted denial to acceptance to someone on a determined hunt for experimental programs that might extend her time on the planet. The characters in the world of "The Big C" are far from angelic, consisting of a daffy, sometime-adulterous husband, an angry teenage son and a homeless brother. A dramedy about cancer is as rare as surviving stage IV melanoma; with a nod to the exquisite writing (as well as acting and directing), this show is magnificent.
Shoddy Storytelling
Dragging up the often-naked rear comes "Girls," an embarrassment in shoddy storytelling and character development. In contrast to the tight plotting of the other three shows, "Girls" specializes in missing links. Critical issues in one episode are often ignored in the following show. Horvath's desperate need to get rent money in episode #6 of the first season is all but forgotten until episode #9. A stolen dog is consigned to oblivion; lovers split up inexplicably. While other characters state that Horvath is extraordinarily bright, during a scene in which she attempts to work in an office, she can't figure out how to break down a cardboard box. For God's sake, keep her away from the stapler.
When the three leading ladies of "Veep," "Nurse Jackie" and "The Big C" decide to take on lovers, the women are the ones in charge. Versus the characters in "Girls," who are mired in a sexual passivity that is bewildering in these outspoken times.
Which brings to mind the title of Dunham's 2010 indie film, "Tiny Furniture." In an ironic twist, the name could very well describe Dunham's current quartet. Though not particularly miniscule, the four principal characters often exhibit a wooden passivity, allowing themselves to be used--occupied like furniture, as it were--without voicing any objection. They can be imprisoned in cacophonous audio/visual boxes; they can be left unsure as to whether condoms are being used. They allow themselves to hook up with heroine addicts, unknown doormen and mentally unstable teenage boys.
The message to the "Girls" audience: Accept the male invasion, ask nothing of sexual gratification for yourself and after it's over, feel like you've accomplished something of note. As if partaking in indiscriminate sex is a measure of one's worth.
In a March 14 interview in Playboy, Dunham said: "My goal is to have a sexual verisimilitude that has heretofore not been seen on television." If "Girls" is rife with sexual verisimilitude, then wow, what a bleak future awaits the female population. Better to see what's going on with cable TV's Meyer, Peyton and Jamison.

Melody of Love: Amma, The Hugging Saint
I opened my eyes and quickly glanced around. Every single person was joyfully singing, "Hari Om, Shiva Om……" It was utmost happiness that was overflowing through those enchanting words. Some even had tears of joy. A group of small kids sitting next to me was dancing playfully with the tune, while some elderly men were clapping blissfully to the rhythm of the song. In the corner were some women sitting peacefully rejoicing those moments.
It was a magical world! It was all happening in Seattle retreat program. Amma was leading this beautiful song and driving all of us into the magical journey. After the songs, it was time to get in line for Amma's loving hugs. After all, I came all the way from Dallas to Seattle for getting that hug and feeling that pure love.
Amma means "Mother" in many South Indian languages. She is also known as Mata Amritanandamayi. People call her, "The Hugging Saint". For me she is Amma – my mother, my teacher, my friend and everything. Amma inspires me and others. She teaches me about the joy of giving. She knows my strengths and she is aware of my weaknesses too. But she tries to get the best out of me. She knows my aspirations and my goals and she gives me courage to take a leap fearlessly. When I am frustrated, Amma gives me hope. When I finish a challenging task, Amma hugs me and gives me a gentle kiss. That is pure unconditional motherly love.
Amma has been giving her motherly love to millions of people all over the world through her hugs. People come from all walks of life. Amma embraces rich and poor, young and old with same enthusiasm. People from any religious background feel same energy and love through Amma's hugs. As such, Amma says that Love is her religion. Amma believes that Love is the one that binds everything together and it is the very foundation, beauty and fulfillment of life.
Amma inspired me to write and even sing songs. It may sound funny, but I even started writing and singing songs while teaching Chemistry in my classes.
What inspires me more about Amma is her global charities that raise funds and support world-wide natural disaster relief activities such as tsunami, hurricanes and earthquakes. Amma's humanitarian work does not stop there. Feeding and providing shelter to homeless people, medical care through hospitals, supporting education, medical research and community outreach programs are just a few to name. Her true message is, "Love, Serve and Conserve."
Amma says, " Love is the only medicine that can heal the wounds of the world."
In order to "Serve" others, Amma suggests, "Light your candle and step forward to dispel darkness from the world." According to her, every small effort to serve is worthy.
To "Conserve" the nature, Amma initiated In-Deed campaign, which is as simple as each one of us making a personal commitment.
Amma puts it all in so simple words. She adds, "Once you learn Love, Serve and Conserve, don't forget to Practice!"
Amma's Dallas satsang group tries to practice Amma's message through Mother's Kitchen, serving food to homeless shelters in Dallas and Fort Worth. It is always a blessing to do some sort of selfless act like this one. In Amma's own words, "Where there is Love, everything is Effortless."
Before leaving Seattle, I got a chance to say "Goodbye" to Amma.
"See you soon, in Dallas" I whispered
"Okay", Amma said firmly.
Amma is currently on her U. S. tour and very soon she will be in Dallas. I can hardly wait to see her again and fill my heart with her pure love.
You can find more information about Amma's Dallas Program on June 22nd and 23rd: http://ammadallas.org/images/ammatourposter2013.pdf

USA, 2012, 90 Minute Running Time
Genre/Subjects: Drama, Musical
Special encore Presentation in The Watching Hour Saturday, December 29th at 10pm!
Digital presentation - In TRAPPED IN THE CLOSET, R. Kelly's classic hip hopera, Kels takes on the role of Sylvester, who has a simple one-night stand with a preacher's wife and then ends up in a web of preposterous lies and a series of outlandish plot twists ranging from used rubbers on his bed to an asthmatic midget male stripper who likes to hang out with a white chick named Bridget. Throughout all of these misadventures, the drama is played as fiercely straight as R. Kelly, and the tale is told through rhyme after rhyme after rhyme.
Over the years, some audiences have hailed TRAPPED as the "Plan 9 From Outer Space of music videos," while others have recognized it as the masterpiece from our generation's greatest living R&B legend. But whichever camp you fall into, one thing is certain - there will be no better cinematic event this year than singing and dancing and playing in a theater full of other R. Kelly fans at the fully interactive R. Kelly's Trapped in the Closet Sing-Along.
Brought to you by the Action Pack, the group made famous by creating dozens of interactive events for the Alamo Drafthouse, this Sing-Along event will take TRAPPED IN THE CLOSET and give it the full Rocky Horror experience, with subtitles on screen to make it easy to sing-along (or just keep up with the story if you've never seen this majesty before), and plenty of rubbers to help make the magic moments on screen come alive in the theater.
But that's not all. Oh, no, there is soooo much more.
Because TRAPPED may be R. Kelly's latest masterpiece, and the long-awaited premiere of NEW chapters this fall on IFC and IFC.com has given us the opportunity to create this cinematic event of the century, but R. Kelly has a full catalog of equally incredible music videos, and there's no way we're going to start the show without turning the entire theater into a full on dance party of awesomeness. To that end, we've also subtitled a collection of R. Kelly's other greatest songs, so you can sing and dance along with Bump 'N Grind, Step in the Name of Love, and Ignition (the Remix, duh) before the feature. Your mind may be telling you, "No," but your body... your body is telling you "YeeeEEEEEEsssssSSS!" Go ahead and give into that impulse, and prepare yourself for all the glory of R. Kelly.
PLUS! Don't miss the premiere of ALL NEW CHAPTERS of TRAPPED IN THE CLOSET, coming this fall from IFC!!!
DIRECTOR: R. Kelly

I was only on it for a month because all I had were a month's worth of samples, but I noticed a big improvement in how I felt in general. My current Part D provider refuses to cover it, even after my doctor having talked to them, so it's no more Advicor for me.

Ease of Use
My Cholesterol levels have been reduced to 175 from 240 and my Triglyceride levels are perfect ----no side effects
Reviewer: scoobydoo, 35-44 Female on Treatment for 1 to less than 2 years (Patient)
Ease of Use
While Advicor works great to lower my cholesterol and triglycerides, it causes massive flushing, itching, severe enough to last hours, despite taking aspirin with it, per my Dr instructions. It's bad enough of a side effect that I cannot take the meds any longer.

The stand up paddle boarding competitions were canceled in Vail due to low water but they're still on for Glenwood Springs this weekend, along with a Raft Trash Regatta and other river events at the Rocky Mountain Surf Festival.
Gypsum will have at least one representative in Ken Hoeve as he competes with pros from around the country. Last year's event included a group of Hawaiian athletes. Three-time national stand up paddle (SUP) champ Dan Gavere will return this year to defend his crown.
Competition won't be quite the same this year, however.
"In the past, the water has been higher, so the main difference this year will be that the surf wave is smaller," Hoeve said.
The national SUP championship normally includes a formal surf competition on the famous wave of the Glenwood Springs Whitewater Park in addition to downriver and SUPcross races. Since the wave is too small for a surf comp this year, a CircleSUP event will replace it while an informal surfer/SUP/kayaker "expression session" will go on all day both days.
"This is a national competition with prize money, so we want to have an event that challenges competitors' skills and the wave isn't dynamic enough to do that this year, so we'll do a CircleSUP instead," said Paul Tefft, and organizer of the event.
In addition to the competitions and entertainment, Sunday also features the American Rivers Raft Trash Regatta.
The whitewater park, located immediately south of the West Glenwood Interstate 70 on/off ramps, will be the hub of the action throughout the weekend. Spectators can watch the action from a beer garden that opens at noon each day while a limbo contest and other activities add to the entertainment.
Parking is limited, however, and event goers are asked to park at the West Glenwood Springs Mall and walk or take a shuttle to the whitewater park. No pets are allowed.
Saturday's SUP downriver race starts at 10:30 a.m. and the SUPcross launches at 2 p.m.
SUPcross is a crash-and-burn event similar to boarder/skiercross races. Contestants will be seeded by their times in the downriver race and will compete in knock-out heats made up of four competitors. The entrants will line up at the launch site and with a mass start paddle upriver and around a gate then peal out into the main current. The race continues through the G-Wave and then the competitors have to eddy out in the swirling current and negotiate an upstream gate before charging downriver to the finish line.
At 4:30 p.m., there will be a GoofBoard (balance board) contest and SUPsquatch demos. A SUPsquatch is a multi-person stand up paddle board made by C4 Waterman.
Sunday's Trash Regatta involves raft teams floating from Two Rivers Park on the Colorado River down to the surf contest, picking up trash along the way, and costumes are encouraged (Polynesian-themed outfits are a plus but anything goes).
Regatta teams will meet at Two Rivers Park at approximately 11:30 a.m. They are also welcome to put in upriver at Shoshone or Grizzly Creek. From Two Rivers, the teams will cruise down the shoreline, scouring for trash. Trash will be unloaded at the whitewater park and prizes will be awarded for most trash "rescued," most unique items found and costumes. Interested raft regatta teams should contact EnviroAction Productions by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com or calling (970) 923-3955.
Meanwhile on Sunday, a SUPsquatch sprint is from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and the Whitewater Stand Up Paddling Championship's culmination will be a CircleSUP event that involves a circular course around the water park. The first CircleSUP heat starts at 10 a.m. and finals are at 1:30 p.m. An awards ceremony for the overall SUP champions is at 5 p.m.

I just started using this nifty software and found a thread about adding channels (swedish "Play-channels") and tried to install the plugin "Channels".
The problem is that there is no button where I can choose to install plugins(!).
I've tried google it ("PS3 media server no plugin button" etc.) and came up shorthanded.
This is what it looks like (I've also tried to re-install it):
Any suggestions?

CF: This is a concept I've had for many years... it's called Una voz... mil recuerdos, the voice being mine and the recuerdos ellos. Several singers were part of my evolution and I wanted to sing in memory of them because they are part of the la química de Cheo Feliciano...Daniel Santos, who was a romantic bohemio. Beny Moré, Felipe Pirela from Venezuela, a great romantic singer...Tito Rodríguez, who had all the parts...one of the greatest singers of boleros of all times, Gilberto Monroig from Puerto Rico...Santitos Colón, romántico...Ismael Rivera, who was great at our folk music and salsa...Mon Rivera.
...They were my personal friends, all of them, and some of them were my mentors, my fathers, and others were my sons, like Héctor Lavoe and Frankie Ruiz. So they all became part of mi química and I wanted to honor them. But not imitate them. I wanted to interpret the tunes that they made famous but singing them my way. So I think I accomplished that....
AD: So we're going to hear a variety of different rhythms on this record?
CF: Yes, and I tried to include some of the elements they originally used in their recordings to identify them and bring it to today's music but with a bit of influence of what they did.
AD: When you did this recording, I'm kind of curious as to your approach. A lot of times in romantic salsa they do a recording where they'll lay down a conga track for the whole album and manipulate it in the computer so that the same basic conga track is used throughout the album and the same thing with the trumpets, etc. In other words, the band doesn't record together. What kind of approach did you take to record this album?
CF: I always like the original, natural approach. I never did appreciate that computer thing. I liked to feel the band directly there. Sometimes we do it in sections. Sometimes we do the rhythm section and then add the trumpets, for instance. But nothing computerized. Everything is arranged, everything is prepared. Sometimes we try to record it in one shot with the whole band. But that's more complex.
AD: Did you do that on this new recording? Is there a track with the whole band straight through?
CF: Not really, because it was different. It's different combinations. Sometimes you get a sextet, sometimes you get a trio, sometimes a big band, sometimes a conjunto. We got all different kinds of instrumentations which...people will appreciate, the different sounds you get in this recording in particular.
AD: When you recorded in the old days, wasn't the whole band recorded at once?
CF: Yes, that's how we did it.
AD: What was it like during the Fania era (in the recording studios)? I spoke to Sergio George in an interview and we were talking about the role of the salsa producer. He's very involved in directing the sound and telling the people in his groups how to sing, what to sing, etc. But he said this is very different from salsa in the '70s. He said in the '60s and '70s the salsa producer's role was to keep people in the studio from killing each other.
CF: (laughs)
AD: Did you ever have an experience like that? What was it like when you got all these guys together to record?
CF: Sure, it was like a jam session. We did not look for perfection. What we looked for was for interpretation, for feeling, for vibes. So we used to go at it once. If we failed in some way, maybe two or three times. But always the full body. We didn't mind little mistakes, little kinks, here and there, if the general final product was good. That was the idea, to convey the feeling of the whole group at one time, not looking for perfection, but feeling and I enjoyed that very much.
AD: When did you start recording in sections? Were the classic albums like Cheo and The Singer and Sentimiento Tú recorded with a full band all at once or were they also in parts?
CF: At that moment I did not have a band, so this was all arranged and they were looking for near perfection (note 6). So we recorded the basis of it, bass, piano, drums and then we were adding by section. So if anybody makes a mistake, you don't have to erase the piano any more, we have that. The trumpets go at it, and since it's only trumpets they can repeat a few times until they get it perfect. Then we get the coros. So they were looking for perfection. Production wise, that's okay if you want to bring a polished, shiny, product that people will respond to. But sometimes I prefer a spontaneous thing even though you might get a little gallo here or whatever kink. But if the center of it is conveying a true feeling of spontaneous music making, I like it.
AD: Are there any recordings with that raw sound that we should go and buy?
CF: I think everything we did with the Alegre all Stars is a good example of it. As a matter of fact, we did it without arrangements. We just got together, got a line and let's go. That was a real jam session. I loved all the Alegre recordings.
AD: Well, we're kind of running out of time here. To close the interview, in terms of your legacy as an artist, is there any way in particular that you would like to be remembered? What would you like people to think about when they think of Cheo Feliciano in years to come?
CF: Well, yo soy el amigo, el cantante sentimental...I would want them to know that my way of singing is sincere, that I won't sing anything that I do not feel...Everything I sang is part of me, it's part of my química, and I feel very lucky that God made me an instrument of His creation.

Reviewed on 12/12
By Dr. Harrington
The following strategies and techniques have helped many people with insomnia.
Progressive muscle relaxation
Exercises that tense and relax each muscle group can help the body prepare for sleep. As you lie in bed, tense the muscles in each area of your body and then relax them, one area at a time. Start with your legs, then your buttocks and thighs, and so on up your body until every part of you has had the chance to relax.
Guided imagery
In guided imagery, you imagine yourself in your favorite peaceful place—maybe a porch swing at a beloved house or on a beach in the late afternoon when the crowds are gone. You close your eyes and imagine the sights, sounds, and smells of the place. This can help you relax and, if you continue imagining the same place over the course of weeks, doing so can become part of a routine that your mind associates with sleep.
Abdominal breathing
This can be done by itself or as part of any relaxation technique. Breathe deeply, but instead of lifting your chest and shoulders, breathe down into your abdomen. Breathe in slowly, hold the breath for a second or two, and relax to let the air escape. Repeat.
In biofeedback, a technician places sensors on your skin, connected to machines that display information about brain waves, skin temperature, and other physiological aspects of the stress response. Through biofeedback training, you may be able to learn to recognize and control your stress response.
In meditation, you learn to concentrate without allowing the mind to wander. Quieting your mind has been shown to decrease stress.

Florida Regulators Approve a 100-Megawatt Biomass Power Plant
The Gainesville Regional Utilities (GRU) and American Renewables received approval for a 100-megawatt biomass power plant on May 27 from the Florida Public Service Commission. American Renewables plans to build, own, and operate the facility, which will be called the Gainesville Renewable Energy Center. Under a 30-year contract, GRU will purchase all of the power produced by the facility, which will generate power from urban wood waste, wood processing wastes, and logging residues. American Renewables plans to build the facility at GRU's Deerhaven Generating Station, which currently features an 80-megawatt unit that can run on natural gas or oil and a 235-megawatt coal-fired power plant. The company plans to begin construction in December and achieve commercial operation in late 2013. See the GRU press release and the project summaries from GRU and American Renewables.

Approved Pharmacologic Treatments for NAFLD, NASH,...
From the Quagmire to Savior and...
The Poisons and Venoms of Organisms...
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) is working with GlaxoSmithKline in an effort to develop drugs to fight both antibiotic resistance and bioterrorism.
Under the terms of the agreement, HHS will provide $40 million for the initial 18-month agreement and up to a total of $200 million should it be renewed over five years. The work will be governed by a BARDA-GSK joint oversight committee, which will monitor progress, make decisions related to the allocation of funds, and decide which drug candidates will be added to or removed from the partnership portfolio.
GSK notes that funding for this public-private collaboration will be allocated flexibly around its antibacterial portfolio, rather than focusing on a particular drug candidate. Further, it will allow the partners to study drugs for the potential treatment of both conventional and biothreat pathogens, GSK adds.
"There is an urgent need to address antibiotic resistance, and new models are needed to deal with this challenging area of drug development," David Payne, Ph.D., head of GSK's Antibacterial Discovery Performance Unit, said in a statement. "We strongly believe that innovative public-private partnerships such as this are integral to solving this critical healthcare issue and we are delighted to work with BARDA in a more strategic way."

Personified Doubles and Complementary Opposites
Dawn Hunter's paintings reveal a vivid cast of costumed characters enacting dreamlike scenarios in lush landscapes. Reminiscent of the films of the Italian director Federico Fellini, Hunter's works combine nature, fantasy, and baroque imagery to intense psychological effect. Inspired by the Italian Baroque painter Giovanni Mannozzi's painted female personifications of dusk and dawn, Hunter visualizes such themes of duality and contrast in her archetypal representations of men and women.
Hunter states, "Female stereotypes are constructed as balanced compositions of archetypes and prototypes, thus creating a compelling connection between that which resonates with our cultural identity and that which advertisers encourage us to pursue." Sourcing mass-produced images of fashion models found in magazine advertisements, the artist uses these as the basis for the figures in her paintings. In this way, Dawn Hunter frames a new subjective narrative by appropriating the stereotypical models from their commercial context and recasting them in powerful, atypical roles.
-Maiza Hixson
Gretchen Hupfel Curator of Contemporary Art
Slashing Symbols Workshop
Thursday, October 2, 1:00 pm, following Art Salad lecture.
Popular magazine advertisements rely on basic shapes in the layout design and color selections to create a sense of harmonious balance that discourages viewers' interrogation of the messages behind the images—thus creating behavioral patterns on a preconscious level. By integrating the creative process with students' intuitive responses, the Slashing Symbols workshop is designed to expose the propaganda that exploits consumer perception. This is achieved by pulling images out the familiar world of advertising and placing the images within the realm of fine art. Workshop participants launch an intuitive investigation that results in an exciting and engaging critique of consumerism.
In this 2-hour workshop, participants will create collages, rapidly and intuitively selecting imagery to assemble compositions that reveal their subconscious responses to popular culture.
Workshop is limited to 12 participants; RSVP to Maiza Hixson to reserve a place.

FREMONT -- Alicia Ali first lost her home to foreclosure and then lost her husband, who died about a year ago. Ali, a mother of six children, quickly struggled to make ends meet, and her precarious finances only worsened.
But life for the single mother changed for the better with a simple knock on her door.
Coming to visit were representatives of SparkPoint at the Fremont Family Resource Center, a nonprofit program helping low-income families climb out of poverty. They had visited her Irvington district apartment complex, saying she qualified for its services.
"I'm raising my kids after having to bury my husband; it's a constant struggle," said Ali, 46. "I hoped it would help me get out of my dire straits situation. When my home foreclosed, I thought, 'There goes my credit score.'"
Ten SparkPoint locations are sprinkled throughout the Bay Area, including Oakland, San Francisco and Vallejo. SparkPoint's southern Alameda County location operates out of the Fremont Family Resource Center, which offers social services to Tri-City area residents and is overseen by the Fremont Human Services Department.
The Fremont SparkPoint has pointed Ali in the right direction, she said.
"It's been a great help," she said. "I've been able to take advantage of their financial services."
Indeed, SparkPoint's main goal is to serve as a one-stop financial education center. It offers clients a personal coach who teaches money-managing skills, sets them up with savings programs and helps improve their credit.
It works best for people who are able to advocate for themselves and to take action to meet their goals, said Judy Schwartz, administrator of the Fremont Family Resource Center.
"It's not a handout," Schwartz said. "We can walk with those participating every step of the way, but it won't be effective unless they work really hard."
The program also provides a wide variety of services that may appear basic to the average person, but often are frustratingly out of reach for families in need. Those services include child care; employment skills, such as writing a resume or knowing where to post it online; legal assistance for consumer or housing foreclosure issues; education at the Fremont Adult School or continuation schools; and health care programs such as Medi-Cal.
"There are many different, creative strategies to help people become self-sufficient," Schwartz said.
SparkPoint Centers were created by the United Way of the Bay Area and are funded by a mix of private, public and charitable sources. Its Fremont location opened in January and since has served about 150 people and their families, Schwartz said.
"This is a long-term model," she said. "It could take two or three years, but we're in it for the long haul, and we'll be staying with each person to help them reach their goals."

The Kansas Department of Agriculture has implemented a permanent intrastate quarantine for certain firewood, nursery plants and mulch that is shipped in and out of Wyandotte County to prevent further spread of emerald ash borer in Kansas.
The agency first implemented a 90-day quarantine in response to the Aug. 29 discovery of emerald ash borer in Wyandotte County. The discovery was the first-ever confirmed case of the pest in Kansas. Jeff Vogel, KDA Plant Protection and Weed Control program manager, said making the quarantine permanent will help prevent the further spread of the emerald ash borer in Kansas.

Songs by Debut Year:
This show was part of the "1997 Winter European Tour."
The second set has a very mellow setlist and doesn't feature many songs I'd want to see live. However, I do enjoy the flow of the set, especially the second half. The Stash in particular has a nice jam.
Nice to have the whole thing on SBD, which really works well for the more quiet segments (Swept Away->Steep, parts of Stash), but nothing you need to seek out. Gave this 3 stars.
This tape made feel heroic for somereason when I got it because i got it with a group of 3 europe shows. I was beyond pumped. These shows prepped them for a ridiculous year of growth.
I called this year flying marshmellow funk. This chalkdust is great example. Trey takes his young wailing tone from summer 95 to a clearer more defined conclusion in 97.this chalkdust is an early peak into that. Sick . leaves you speechless . you ever wanted a song to go on forever
