Wikipedia:WikiProject Jazz
WikiProject Jazz is a group of editors writing and maintaining Wikipedia's articles on all things jazz. The parent of this WikiProject is WikiProject music genres. On our project talk page, all editors working in the area (not just members) can exchange ideas and ask questions.
New members are always welcome! If you are new to Wikipedia, the first thing to do is to become a registered user – see Wikipedia:How to log in. (There is also an FAQ at Wikipedia:Contributing FAQ.) If you wish to participate in WikiProject Jazz, then add your name to our participants section.
This WikiProject aims to:
- Improve and standardize existing jazz-related articles.
- Create any needed jazz articles.
- Elevate as many jazz-related articles as possible to Good or Featured status.
- Coordinate positive contributions to articles relating to all aspects and styles of jazz.
This WikiProject does not aim to:
- Act in an exclusionary way toward any particular styles of jazz or any jazz musicians.
How you can help[edit]
- Any improvement to jazz-related articles, no matter how minor, is welcome, as is copyediting! Keep in mind Wikipedia's policies regarding neutral point of view.
- If there is a jazz-related article that Wikipedia doesn't currently have, create one! It doesn't have to be a masterpiece; a stub will do at first.
- Add appropriate media to articles. Make sure any media (particularly images) used are tagged and used properly. See Wikipedia:Fair use for more information.
Requests and to-do[edit]
To request a new article, to add to the list of articles needing expansion or improvement, or to find things to do at the jazz portal, go to Wikipedia:WikiProject Jazz/To do.

To see lists of jazz articles sorted by what cleanup they require, click on "Cleanup listing for this project" in the box in this section (warning: the page may take a long time to load).

Birds of a Feather
Hi I was just wondering if anyone out there had a chart for a bird silhouette I cant seem to find one I like. I knit up a purse the other day and I wanted to do a duplicate stitch bird on it then felt it. If anyone could help me out that would be great. :hug:
There is a colored bird in flight here could be done as sillouette, perhaps keep a white eye.

MAR 10In Trouble? Seek the Lord
In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord. . . (Ps. 77:2a)
As a personal reflection, I conclude that this is a psalm for Christianity today. Every Christian should try to understand its poetic language. Psalm 77 is a psalm of lament with words of distress, almost to the point of disaster. Moreover, it gives us as believers permission to lament, a concept often taught as inappropriate and something that should never be done.
Almost every statement pertaining to Christianity today is anti-lament. That is, if you are stressed, you are not a Christian. If you make any statement of complaint, it is a display of the lack of faith. Yet, Psalm 77 is written and sung by a group of people commissioned by David to be court musicians to sing the praises from the liturgy in the sanctuary of the living God. Seeking God when the sun is peeking over the horizon is not a real difficulty.
Coming into the presence of God when the seasons of life smell with the fragrance of spring is not a chore. When life bounces youthfully on young legs, everything is full of excitement. When there are no aging wrinkles, the steps are vigorous. When nothing but the future can be seen, there is nothing but words of celebration.
But the farther we walk, the more we know that those strong legs give way and those eyes narrow to a slit. No longer is the future seen, but it is the past that is remembered. The good news is that you can seek God, not only in the good times, but also in the bad times. You can turn all of your attention to God and rest completely on His dependability. Yet I am thankful that it's all right to have ups and downs in our lives.
Lord God, after a long time on the mountaintop, we're trudging through the valley. Nothing seems to be going right, but we're afraid to tell our Christian brothers and sisters because they'll just tell us we're going through this rough time because we don't have enough faith. Thank You, Lord, for letting us pour out our hearts to You. We know that You'll help us get through this. Amen.

Juicy blueberries and creamy coconut butter make these soft coconut coffee cake bars so delicious!
I'm doing a happy dance.
For many reasons. First off…it's Fridddayyyyyy! Who doesn't get excited for the sheer fact that it's Friday and you have the next two days to do whatever you dang well please! Well since you asked, usually for me, that means running around with my fiance until its a suitable hour for a cocktail. Some Saturday's it's earlier than others. This might be one of those Saturday's.
First off, it's Big 12 Tournament here in KC! The kickoff of everything March Madness! The mood around this town right now is magical. Everyone is ecstatic and friendlier than normal due to enjoying a few beverages to celebrate. I'm not hatin.
Since the sun is shinin' and I have a happy hour to attend, I am going to keep this short and shwweeettt. Speaking of sweet, these bars! The blueberries and coconut make your taste buds dance. Slightly tart blueberries pop in your mouth and ultra creamy, sweet coconut remind me of all my favorite things spring. They are tender, crumbly and sweet.
Everything breakfast and the weekend should be!
- ½ cup coconut flour
- ¼ tsp salt
- ⅓ cup almond milk
- ½ cup maple syrup
- ¾ cup liquid egg whites
- 2 Tbsp coconut butter, softened
- 1 cup frozen blueberries, thawed with juice
- Glaze:
- 2 Tbsp coconut butter, softened
- 2 Tbsp maple syrup
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9x9 baking dish with non-stick spray.
- In a bowl, stir together coconut flour and salt.
- In a medium size bowl, stir together almond milk, maple syrup, liquid egg whites and coconut butter. Mix well.
- Add liquids to dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Pour into greased pan and spread out evenly. Place blueberries on top, evenly spread out along with any juice that there may be.
- Place in oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until bars are set in the middle.
- Meanwhile, combine coconut butter and maple syrup until a thin, liquid and smooth consistency is formed. May need a tablespoon of almond milk to thin consistency.
- Drizzle coconut glaze over bars, cut into 9 and serve!

2014 Buick LaCrosse updated with new styling, tech
posted in Buick |
Filed under: New York Auto Show, Sedan, Buick, Luxury
Buick might have one of the smallest lineups among major automakers, but by the time the 2014 model rolls around, it will definitely have one of the freshest. Debuting at the New York Auto Show this week, the 2014 Buick LaCrosse receives numerous styling changes inside and out, and it benefits from many of the same new features found on closely related models like the Cadillac XTS and the 2014 Chevrolet Impala.
Exterior changes are relatively minor, but they still help give the car a fresh, new look. The new face of the 2014 LaCrosse fits in with recently new or redesigned Buick models with its oversized waterfall grille, LED-trimmed headlights and the signature hood vents being moved to the side of the hood rather than the top. Similar changes have been made to the rear, like the reshaped LED taillights, the full-width chrome trim and a new fascia design; LaCrosse models equipped with the 3.6-liter V6 will still get the integrated exhaust finishers but they're executed in a more stylish manner than the current model. Finishing off the exterior, new wheel designs are also being introduced, which will include bringing 20-inch wheels to the sedan's option list.
Inside, Buick redesigned almost the entire cabin to create a more luxurious and upscale appearance. The instrument panel is essentially carried over, but pretty much everything else has been redesigned and updated with the biggest change being to the driver's area. Dual eight-inch configurable displays make up the center stack and gauge cluster, while the overall number of buttons have been reduced from 17 down to just seven. The 2014 LaCrosse will also be offered with the next-generation IntelliLink, which receives many of the same enhancements as Chevy's latest version of MyLink adding better customization, improved voice commands and more features including Pandora. Additionally, new door panels, seat and center console complete the LaCrosse's interior redesign.

BMW will unveil a concept version of the new M5 performance sedan at the Shanghai Motor Show. As with prior cars wearing the vaunted M5 badge, it will be the highest-performing variant of the 5-series lineup.
As was widely expected, the new M5 will have a twin-turbo V-8 engine, although any more detail on the engine's output are scarce. The company says power will be "typical" of other M products and "worthy" of a sports car — we expect an engine similar to the 4.4-liter twin-turbo V-8 in the X5 M and X6 M, which produces 550 horsepower. The last BMW M5 had a 5.0-liter V-10 producing 500 horsepower, and the company will almost certainly try to trump that number with the new car. Currently, the most powerful factory 5-series is the 400-horsepower 550i.
Channeling the power to the rear wheels is a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, which has stop-start functionality to save fuel at traffic lights. Also present is an Active M rear differential, which uses clutch plates to shuffle torque between the left and right wheels for optimal traction when cornering. Large cross-drilled brakes are visible on the concept, a necessity with this much power. As for suspension upgrades, BMW simply says the car was tested on the Nürburgring and offers "responsive" handling.
While we've seen a camouflaged M5 in a tunnel and blasting through snowy landscapes, this is our first look at an undisguised model. Distinguishing features for the M5 begin with black 20-inch wheels, larger front air intakes, and a subtle trunk lid spoiler. Other touches include enlarged fender vents with "M5" badges, a subtle "power bulge" in the hood, and M division's signature quad exhaust tips positioned beneath a more aggressive rear diffuser. The bodywork is all said to be functional — the fascia feeds cooling air the engine, and the rear diffuser and spoiler help produce downforce at speed.
We're looking forward to finding out the engine's exact output figures, and for a glimpse at what, if any, changes have been made the car's interior. Will the latest BMW performance sedan live up to its quarter-century of history?

Nutrition News: Pink Slimeby Dana Angelo White in Food News, Food Safety, April 12, 2012
A microbiologist who worked for the USDA let the cat out of the bag about something the food industry has been doing for years. What's your take on the food issue everyone's talking about: pink slime?
What is Pink Slime?
Tiny traces of meat left on beef carcasses are heated, picked, then bathed in ammonia to kill off any bacteria. These meat scraps dubbed "lean finely textured beef" (aka pink slime) are then mixed with ground beef prior to packaging to bulk up portions. Until recently, pink slimed beef was gobbled down by anyone who consumed ground beef from a fast food joint, grocery store or school cafeteria.
The meat industry defends that pink slime is in fact meat. The government says these ammonia-sprayed foods are safe to eat, but that doesn't make the chemical-treated meat any more appetizing to many consumers.
In the wake of this negative publicity, many supermarkets and others in the food industry have publicly outcast pink slime. Meanwhile the company responsible for producing it filed chapter 11 on April 2nd.
Is pink slime as dangerous and disgusting as it sounds? Should it be in our food? There are things to consider on both sides of the issue:
• Use of pink slime helps keep the cost of beef down.
• The downfall of pink slime has cost some Americans their jobs.
• Pink slime-filled meats are currently in school lunches.
• Until now consumers had no way of knowing if it was in their food or not.
Some of these issues are already being resolved. For example, going forward schools will get to choose whether or not they want to use it.
On the other side of things, maybe we can save money and avoid pink slime at the same time. The USDA's MyPlate guidelines suggest eating a more plant-based diet; Americans eat currently eat too much red meat. Eating less (pink slime free) ground beef might be a win-win.
Bottom Line: Consumers have a right to know what's in their food. And even if chemically treated meat is dubbed safe by the government, do you want to eat it?
Tell Us: How do you feel about pink slime?

John held a passion for poetry and was even a published poet. He also enjoyed music and farming, and especially enjoyed his chickens and goats. He was proud to be a U.S. Army veteran.
Surviving is one sister, Joyce Scott (Clarence) of Mineral Wells, W.Va.; four brothers, Darryl Conner (Catherine), Gary Conner, and Paul Conner (Darlene), all of Mineral Wells, and James Conner (Paula) of Warsaw, Ind.; two half-brothers, Don and Roy Conner (Marge) both also of Mineral Wells; three nieces, Angie Morgan, Rebecca Murphy, and Kaitlyn Conner; and one nephew, Isaac Conner.
In addition to his parents he was preceded in death by one half-sister, Connie Conner; and two half-brothers, Delmer and Ron Conner.

text: According to PWInsider, a few people in TNA that were really frustrated by Hulk Hogan's statement yesterday that taking Impact live would solve 75% of the company's issues. They see it as yet another ridiculous statement made by someone who is out of touch with what the company needs to do, yet has a lot of say in the direction of the company. The feeling is that while live shows would be great, the company has much bigger issues to deal with (such as reliance on Hogan himself, the inability to book things properly and the pushing of friends and family over actual talented wrestlers). Given how numbers have dropped since Hulk Hogan replaced Sting and Garett and Eric Bischoff have become a focal point of the show, it's hard to argue with them. And that doesn't take into account the cost involved with going live weekly, which TNA has shown at this time they can't recoup.Read more »

In order to help faculty and staff to create and maintain their own Web sites within the Foothill College Web site, what follow are guidelines that ensure that the college maintains its unique identity and positive public image on the Web. These guidelines fall into four major areas:
Foothill College utilizes the World Wide Web as an important electronic publication medium
to enhance student learning and the teaching, research, marketing, student life and
administrative functions of the college.
The Foothill College Web site may not be used to create Web pages for personal business, personal gain or any purpose other than college or district business.
To facilitate the sharing of information in the support of college departments, programs and functions:
The process for developing new Web sites within the Foothill College site is outlined below.
Unless other arrangements have been made in advance, it is the responsibility of all site owners to revise and update their Web sites as necessary. The Web team will periodically review sites for timely updates and accuracy. If a site has not been updated in six months and contains outdated information, the college Web coordinator will notify the site owner that revisions are needed. Sites that are not updated within two weeks of notification will be subject to removal until corrections are made.
The basic rules defined for Foothill-hosted Web sites are as follows:
* Level 1 pages: (Example) Home page/index
*Level 2 pages: (Example) News, Divisions, Programs, Schedule, Register, etc,
*Level 3 pages: (Examples) BSS, Athletics, Language Arts, Fine Arts, etc.
The current Foothill College Web standards state that all Web pages should conform to
the Priority 1 guidelines as set forth in the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0.
The district is currently in the process of developing a more comprehensive policy based upon the Section 508 Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) which will be referenced here when completed.
For more information about making your site accessible, view the High Tech Centers Training Unit Web site at http://www.htctu.fhda.edu/ .
The accessibility of each Web site is subject to the review of the college Web coordinator. Below are some tips to making your Web pages accessible.
Page Design-An important step in creating accessible pages is to validate your HTML.
You can do this by going to Web sites such as Bobby, which allow you to test web pages and
repair barriers to accessibility and encourage compliance with existing guidelines.
Make sure the HTML titles of your pages are unique. Titles are an important navigational tool for users. Document titles are more important than people realize. Browsers bookmark titles and search engines often look for and index titles.
When possible, use only technologies defined in a W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) specification and use them in an accessible manner. When this is not possible, provide an alternative page that is accessible and complies with all standards. Images-All images and image map coordinates should have an ALT tag that specifies alternative text that will be shown if image display is not possible or disabled by the user. This gives the user some indication of what's missing. ALT tags should be properly punctuated to allow various screen readers (software for the visually impaired) to work more effectively.

To accelerate patient outcomes after surgery and enhance quality of care, Bayhealth has hired Neurosurgical Services Nurse Navigator Olivia Washinski, RN, of Houston, Del.
"We created the Neurosurgical Services Nurse Navigator position by looking at the big picture – the broad view of the patient," said Bayhealth Vice President, Ancillary and Clinical Services Brad Kirkes, MBA, MHA, OTR/L, CHT, FACHE. "Our goal is to provide a continuity of care for our patients to ensure we provide the best possible outcomes and improve the quality of care for our patients."
In this role, Washinski is responsible for creating a spine class for patients needing elective surgery, providing inpatient education and discharge information for all neurosurgical patients, assisting with the coordination of care for neurosurgical patients, collecting and analyzing data on neurosurgical patients and creating and ensuring standardized care for craniotomy and hemorrhagic stroke patients. She will also assist in working toward the creation of a comprehensive outpatient spine program.
"I was very interested in this nurse navigator position because in the ER we get more acute patients and don't get to see their progress," she said. "Neurosciences is a growing field where there is always new development and changes. I get to spend more time with the patient and their families, from pre-op to after surgery to when they are discharged from the hospital."
Indeed, Washinski will assist with pre-surgical classes, mobilizing patients earlier in the ICU after surgery, coordinating inpatient physical therapy, and transitioning patients to either a rehab or home, and follow up on patients when they return for post-operative office visits.
"Early ambulation for the patient is a big component and key to their recovery," she added.
For the past two years, Washinski worked as a nurse in the Emergency and Trauma Services Departments at Bayhealth, serving one and a half years at Milford Memorial and six months at Kent General. Before joining Bayhealth, she worked as an Emergency Department nurse at Baltimore Washington Medical Center in Glen Burnie, Md.
Washinski received her bachelor's degree in community health from the University of Maryland at College Park and her bachelor's degree in nursing from the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing. She certified in Maryland as a forensic nurse examiner and is a member of the Emergency Nurse Association.
Bayhealth is Southern Delaware's healthcare leader with hospitals in Dover and in Milford. Bayhealth provides a wide range of medical services, including cardiovascular, cancer, orthopaedics and rehabilitation, pediatrics, respiratory care, sleep care, surgical weight loss and women's services.

We loved the location, easy access to the beach, short drive to quality restaurants, shops and activities. The staff was very friendly, the breakfast was great every morning. The hotel was clean and quite.
very enjoyable stay.
I didn't like having to sign up for the complimentary wi-fi every day, my experience has been with other Hotels that once you sign on that's it for the entire stay.
The staff was wonderful!! I had to go to the hospital and they checked on me after I came back to ensure I was fine. They were so friendly and even the contenetal breakfast was wonderful!!
Location, staff, slightly funky, breakfast
Rooms could be cleaner.
Here's why:
We're not the seller.
At KAYAK we don't set the prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We compile tonnes of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we can't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find, on occasion, that certain prices are no longer available.
If you have more questions or if you have a bad price to report to us,
please send us an
and someone from our team will get back to you promptly.

Recently, I conducted a review of several online spreadsheets here at TechJotter. One of the online spreadsheets that I reviewed was Sheetster. I had stated that Sheetster did not have as many features as some of the other "mainstream" online spreadsheets like Google Docs, Zoho, and ThinkFree.
I have since then traded a few emails with Sheetster staff and have gained a bit more information about the program. I still believe it is a niche product, but it does offer some nice features over the mainstream products.
Some of the main advantages of Sheetster include:
- It is an open source alternative to SharePoint and Google docs.
- It can be run offline or online
- It can be hosted on your own servers, instead of large remote data centers
- You have more control of your data and the security of your data
- It is highly customizable through the use of java (and other programming languages)
Extentech, the developers of Sheetster, have provided good information on their website. A comparison of Sheetster to Google Docs and Microsoft can also be found here.
After doing additional research on the product, Sheetster fills a need that none of the other online programs meet – a highly customizable product that offers greater control over your data and security. Extentech also seems to have a good community built around the product and the staff was very helpful and provided me with a lot of good information over email.
I still feel that Sheetster is a niche product. It is not as easy to use or as recognizable as Google Docs, Microsoft Web Apps, or Zoho and requires additional knowledge to be able to unlock all of its features. It also does not offer as many built-in advanced spreadsheet features (like PivotTables or Macros).
If anyone is looking for a customizable spreadsheet application where security and/or control of your data are important, I would recommend doing some research into Sheetster.

The Friends of Lytham Hall are a registered charity acting as a support group for the hall.
We aim to heighten awareness of the Hall and of the Clifton Family, and their importance to the district
The Hall
The Lytham Hall we see today is the most recent building on an ancient site.
The earliest settlement we know of was a 12th century Norman priory established by Benedictine monks from Durham.
The church of St Cuthbert was consecrated nearby and a number of buildings have been built on the sites of both church and hall .
Lytham and its acres of undrained moss and blowing sands were taken by the Crown at the dissolution of the monasteries in 1536.
There are clear remains at the rear of the Hall of 16th and 17th century buildings, including a long gallery. Thomas Clifton bought the estate in 1606 and is said to have built himself a new hall, although it probably incorporated parts of the old one. It had a typical Jacobean gabled façade, and, we think, faced south.
The present hall was built for Thomas Clifton by John Carr of York between 1752-64. There are a number of interesting features in the 78 acres of grounds several of them listed Grade Two:

Wreath Honors Fallen Winter Haven Officer
Published: Friday, March 8, 2013 at 11:22 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, March 8, 2013 at 11:22 a.m.
A wreath laying ceremony for Johnnie Patterson, Jr., who was killed in the line of duty on March 8, 1997 during a traffic stop, was held Friday at Patterson Park across from City Hall.
Friday marked the 16th anniversary of Patterson's death. A wreath was laid in front of a patrol car. The wreath and car will be on display through March 15.
This is the first ceremony of its kind the department has held and Chief Gary Hester vows to make it an annual event.
Officer Patterson's family, including brother, sister and parents, attended. In addition to Police Department members, also on hand were former police chiefs Ron Martin, who was chief when Officer Patterson was killed, Darryl Kirkland and Buddy Waters. Also attending were City Manager Deric Feacher, Mayor J.P. Powell and Mayor Pro-Tem Nat Birdsong.

Mental Health
Nancy P. Hanrahan, PhD, RN, FAAN
Dr. Lenore H. Kurlowicz Term Associate Professor of Nursing
Through forward-looking research on the nursing workforce, Dr. Nancy Hanrahan addresses the potential of psychiatric nurses to integrate mental health in primary care services and to manage cognitive symptoms across all chronic illnesses. Her work, funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, focuses on inpatient psychiatric outcomes and testing transitional care models for patients discharged from hospital treatment for a psychiatric condition.
Dr. Hanrahan applies brain and behavior neuroscience and psychopharmacology in mental health. She has been appointed to the behavioral health steering committee of the National Quality Forum, working to establish priorities to improve the delivery of behavioral health services, achieve better behavioral health outcomes, and improve the behavioral health of the U.S. population, especially in the areas of mental illness and substance abuse.
Dr. Hanrahan leads Penn Nursing's Health Technnology Lab, where interdisciplinary teams connect to create serious games, mHealth apps, and other tools to address healthcare problems. One student-led project is Mission Reintegration, a game which aims to assist military personnel with the return to civilian life through PTSD symptom recognition and management. As part of the national Joining Forces initiative, Dr. Hanrahan is partnering with the American Nurses Foundation, the philanthropic arm of the American Nurses Association, to develop a PTSD toolkit for civilian registered nurses to help them better assess and treat PTSD in the nation's veterans and military service members.
"Psychiatric nurses are building the science of effective patient and family care and optimal interventions across the healthcare system," explains Dr. Hanrahan, "and can stand as leaders working with policymakers on health policy reform."

1965 Plymouth Sport Fury news, pictures, specifications, and information
The Plymouth Fury was introduced in 1956 and continued in production as a model and/or series until 1989. Plymouth had been using the name Fury as the high-performance version of its standard vehicle and in 1956 made its own model designation. The initial desire of the Fury was to highlight the abilities of the Plymouth division and to create a stunning automobile that would capture the attention of consumers and bring that crowd into their showrooms. The styling was typical of the era with the most notable feature being the tail-fins which grew in size during the 1959 model year. It was a popular favorite with many police forces because of its reliability and performance.
In 1959 Plymouth introduced a performance and luxury package called the Sport Fury which featured a larger engine, performance upgrades and a transmission that could handle the extra torque. This was the only year that it was offered.
1960 marked the beginning of the second generation Fury which continued until 1964. The Fury now sat atop a unit-body construction with bolted-on subfame which improved rigidity. The tail fins were removed and the styling was updated to give it a modern appeal. The base engine was a slant six power-plant capable of producing over 145 horsepower. A 318 or 383 cubic-inch eight cylinder in various configurations could be purchased as optional equipment.
Styling and mechanical changes continued in 1961. The Fury was given a new grille which gave it the impression of a 'frowning face'. Performance was increased with the 375 horsepower, 413 cubic-inch engine. A limited edition turbocharged engine was offered in 1962. A new unitized body and chassis construction was implemented which greatly decreased the overall weight while still maintaining rigidity and interior room. Weight was further reduced with the adaptation of the TorqueFlite transmission replacing the cast-iron, two-speed PowerFlite. The 383 engine was no longer offered but a 413 8-cylinder engine became available half-way through the year.
For 1963, the grille and rear once again received styling updates. The reliability was reinforced by the company with the introduction of a five-year or fifty-thousand mile warranty. Not much changed the following year. A limited amount of 426 Wedge 'Super Stock' engines were planted into the engine bays with the purpose of being raced and not legal on the streets.
1965 brought the third generation of the Fury. The sedans sat atop a 119 inch wheelbase while the wagons were given a 121 inch platform. A street legal, 426 'Street Wedge' was now available, promising nearly 400 horsepower. This year also began the Fury I, Fury II, and Fury III naming scheme. In 1966 the VIP name was added to the Fury model line-up. The VIP was an economical, luxury sedan with aluminum taillight panels, wood-grained inserts, and special badging and colors. A popular option on the VIP was the vinyl roof. Luxury could be found on the interior, with its soft carpet, padded dash, individual rearing lamps, walnut grain trim, fold-down armrests, and more. Under the hood was a 318 eight-cylinder engine as standard. The VIP name was short-lived, enduring until 1969 when the decision was made to cease production.
The 1965 Fury had changed aesthetically with horizontal bars on the grille and rearranged rear taillights. The interior had undergone very mild changes. The most drastic change was on the Sport Fury which was given a new console, replacing the console that had been introduced in 1964. The Hurst shifter was no longer offered; rather, a willowy Inland unit with reverse lockout button was offered as optional equipment.
In 1966, a Silver Special edition was offered which featured silver metallic paint with blue upholstery. Window moldings, whitewall, and wheel-covers were included.
The Fury grew slightly in size in 1967. The body panels were all-new but the grille and headlights were carried over from the previous body-style. The 225 slant-six engine was standard and a 318, 383, and 440 were offered in various configuration. Offered as a two and four door, convertible, sedan, wagon, hardtop, and convertible, there were nearly twenty-five different configurations to select from.
1968 continued the styling changes with it's horizontally split grille, updated rear and a slight dip in the body-line which mimicked the front vent windows.
The fourth generation began in 1969. The wheelbase of the vehicle increased offering more interior room for the passengers. The boxy-appearance of third generation Fury was abandoned with a slight shift toward curvy appearance. Concealed headlamps were added in 1970.
In 1972 Plymouth added the Gran Fury sedan and coupe, equipped with a 383 cubic-inch engine bored out to 400 cid. Two separate blackened grilles with the word 'Fury' in the middle helped distinguish these models.
Styling changes continued in 1973 which saw many improvements to its exterior design. For 1974, the Fury sat atop a new C-body platform which was larger in size to its predecessor. A new grille and bumper made its way onto the standard Fury.
The fifth series of the Fury was introduced in 1975. Plymouth once again restyled the Fury and placed it atop a smaller, redesigned C-body chassis.
The Fury line was dropped in 1979 but a year later, in 1980, Plymouth revitalized the Gran Fury name. It shared a platform and similar body design to the Chrysler Newport and Dodge St. Regis, and was available only as a four-door sedan. Sales were never strong and the Fury name was once again abandoned in 1981.
A smaller version was introduced in 1982 and stayed in production until 1989. Minor aesthetic and mechanical changes were applied during this time, but it basically stayed unchanged.

Despair not, Astros fans.
Sure, National League loyalists are upset about a 2013 move to the American League. Sure, the Astros will emerge from baseball's winter meetings without a new star player in two or any realistic hopes of a winning season any time soon. Sure the Astros are looking to further trim their payroll by trading Carlos Lee, Wandy Rodriguez and Brett Myers.
One franchise fixture remains entrenched – Junction Jack, and he will be available to mingle with the masses on Friday and Saturday at Minute Maid Park. Jack will be available for photos and perhaps even autographs at the Astros Clubhouse Extravaganza, which runs from 12 p.m.-5 p.m. on Friday and 10 a.m-4 p.m. Saturday.
The Astros clubhouse will serve as a team store. Admission is $10 and will be applied to any purchase, with free parking available in the Diamond lot. Among the available items will be game-used memorabilia ranging from jerseys to bats and balls. Hot dogs and sodas will be on sale for $1.
Fans can shop, mingle with Jack, check out the clubhouse and dugout and discuss the Astros general manager search and whom the team took in the Rule 5 draft.
The Astros will also have a Select-A-Seat promotion for season ticket buyers from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Friday. Fans can find a ticket sales representative at the Clock Tower entrance at Minute Maid.

Hello all :-),
I am not an expert with linux and hence am looking
for some pointers about how to solve a problem I am facing. Any
comments, suggestions or solutions would be very helpful. I have
searched this list and did find one solution pretty close to what I am
looking for but it uses iptables and I was thinking of something
The problem: I want to log the URLs requested by a browser on a linux
system into a file.
What I have explored: I installed the Livehttpheaders extension for
firefox, it does log URLs but does not seem to do it continuously to a
file. You have to press the save-all button. I need a continuous
logging mechanism. I have also read up Apache and other web servers
which when installed will do the trick, but I want my script to be
standalone and depend as little as possible on a server/module being
pre-installed. A proxy server could be a solution, Could anyone please
point me to a really small implementation which I can then customize
to just log requests and leave the http connections alone.
The best solution for me, as I see it (feel free to correct me) is a
small script or usage of a command-line utility I may not know as yet
which will simply dump connection/URL to a file. I could use tcpdump/
ethereal(wireshark), but this will be a bad solution compared to a one-
liner or a small script.
Would definitely appreciate any help people!
Thanks in advance,

The Neosho City Council voted in special session Tuesday morning to approve a letter to the Missouri Housing Development Commission confirming utilities are available for the Prairie View Estates subdivision.
The subdivision, selected as a 2012 recipient of Missouri Housing Development Commission funds, is located on Sweet Grass Circle, south of Neosho, a quarter-mile off of Missouri Highway 59.
The 29-home addition is being developed by Carmichael and Neal, PC.
The Neosho City Council received a form letter from the Missouri Housing Development Commission in January, which the city was asked to sign off on.
The letter stated that the subdivision would have access to water, sewer, storm water drainage, and other facilities.
The council opted in an earlier meeting to table signing off on the letter, as they could not guarantee storm water drainage.
"We basically said 'hey, we haven't seen any engineering drawings, so we're not going to confirm or deny whether or not the storm water (drainage) is put in place,'" Davidson said. "So we didn't put anything in there."
He said the commission came back to the city and requested that the council confirm the water and sewer access, which council did on Tuesday.
"The housing commission needed to confirm that as part of awarding this contract, that water and sewer was available," Davidson said.
The Neosho City Council wrote a letter in support of the Prairie View Estates development in early October 2011, though the developers did not receive the funding that year.
In 2012, the city opted to instead throw their support behind two proposed projects that would take place within Neosho city limits, though neither of the two were awarded the funding.

Strippers at a party is not the strangest thing you'll ever hear. But it gets really strange when you hear that the strippers were for a 16-year-old teen — and that his own mother hired them!
That's the case for a New York mother who now faces five charges of endangering the welfare of a child for hiring strippers to entertain at her son's birthday party. The mom admits hiring two adult female dancers but insists they were not strippers and were only there to deliver a "bikini-gram" and sing Happy Birthday.
Prosecutors, however, say there were kids at the party that were even younger than the 16-year-old birthday boy and that several received lap dances. The owner of the company that sent the dancers downplays the whole incident, saying kids today see a lot worse on TV and at the beach.

Google challenges hackers to crack Chrome OS in Pwnium 3 competition
Will reward up to $3m for successful hacks
SOFTWARE HOUSE Google announced today that it will hold a third Pwnium competition this year, Pwnium 3, which encourages hackers to crack the Chrome operating system (OS) for a reward of up to $3m.
Taking place on 7 March, Pwnium 3 is designed to "improve internet security for everyone" by alerting Google to potential vulnerabilities in its software, while at the same time getting the best researchers in the industry to showcase their skills and take home some rewards.
"Security is one of the core tenets of Chrome, but no software is perfect, and security bugs slip through even the best development and review processes," Google said in its Chromium Blog. "That's why we've continued to engage with the security research community to help us find and fix vulnerabilities."
Rewards will be issued for hacking the Chrome OS for a value up to a total of $3.14m. This is broken up by paying hackers $110,000 for a web browser or system level compromise in guest mode or as a logged-in user, delivered via a web page, and $150,000 for a compromise with device persistence, guest to guest with interim reboot, delivered via a web page.
"We believe these larger rewards reflect the additional challenge involved with tackling the security defenses of Chrome OS, compared to traditional operating systems," Google added.
In order to receive the rewards, hackers must demonstrate an attack against a WiFi model of the Samsung Series 5 550 Chromebook running the latest stable version of Chrome OS. Any installed software, including the kernel and drivers, may be used to attempt the attack.
As with past Pwnium competitions, hackers need to follow the standard rules in order to receive their reward after a successful exploit. This includes delivering a full exploit plus accompanying explanation and breakdown of individual bugs used alongside exploits served from a password authenticated and HTTPS supported Google property, such as Google App Engine. Finally, Google said the bugs used must not be known to it or "fixed on trunk". µ

It doesn't take a master's degree to see why the motorcycle industry has been hurting lately: It's the economy, stupid. But as many are still tightening their belts, there are some people who aren't afraid to aim high. Engineer/fabricator/builder Dave LaMerrill wants to create the next American sportbike company and his goal is a lot bigger than just building good motorbikes around someone else's power plant. He wants to build his own complete motorcycle.
LaMerrill, 42, isn't crazy. He's spent 25 years learning exactly what it takes to build a competitive product on a shoestring budget. A longtime motorcycle technician and fabricator, LaMerrill has been refining his project builds for nearly a decade. His first prototype racebike, based around the Triumph 955cc triple, was built in 2003 and took home a WERA championship in 2004. His latest featured machine, the Stratus, is built around the Yamaha R1 motor and shows the high level of detail that LaMerrill Motorcycles USA offers from their Edison, N.J., studio. Instead of modifying an R1, the Stratus is a custom trackbike boasting hand-built chassis parts around a proven engine and suspension components.
If that sounds like a familiar concept, it is. Bimota built a name for itself by using its own chassis with the best Japanese motors to make high-end exotics for customers looking for something extra. "There are so many lessons out there, and Bimota is a great example," LaMerrill says. "Bimota tried to do something different, but they didn't do it themselves." LaMerrill says that managing overhead is imperative in a tight economy. "If my parts supplier or subcontractor fails, I'm left high and dry. So, if you can do it yourself, do it!" Everything that comes out of LaMerrill's workshop (excluding name-brand components like Marzocchi suspension and Carrozzeria wheels) was designed and built in-house.
Readers of our sister publication 2Wheel Tuner may recognize the LaMerrill Stratus as the cover bike of the August 2008 magazine, the annual MotoGP issue. The Stratus combined true superbike performance (370 pounds wet, 175 rear wheel horsepower) with the fit and finish of a high-end showbike. Unlike most racing bikes, the Stratus is designed like a high-end musical instrument rather than a simple tool to go faster. "I'm a musician and I also design and build guitars," LaMerrill says. "I wanted to bring that level of craftsmanship and uniqueness to my bikes."
Each production LaMerrill motorcycle is unique, with each frame and bodywork set boasting its own touches to separate it from another. "Each bike will be built to the same specs, but I might change the look of the swingarm bracing or the shape of the air intake along with a customer's request for a specific frame finish. I expect that I will have a filing cabinet dedicated to the individual differences of each bike," admits LaMerrill. Because each bike is hand-built, such differences will be easily managed as each major component doesn't have to be sent out to a supplier. The end result is a personal machine for each owner, all at a more affordable cost.
While saving money on overhead is an obvious benefit to any business owner, LaMerrill has used the latest economic pressures to focus on what is most important. Anything that wasn't a necessity was put on hold. "Pay your people, get your product built, everything else is secondary," LaMerrill expains. By cutting back on its racing program and using track days for development, the company has saved about $15,000 per year. Still, saving money only went so far. Says LaMerrill, "of course it's not a good thing to be losing money, but yet it is, in a way. I had to ask myself: even if we know we can't make money now, what can we do that will pay off later? The answer was to forget about big profits and get my name out there." But within reason. It's always good advice to not be greedy, but LaMerrill also points out how it's also important to keep ego out of the equation. "Less talk. More effort. Forget about hype and fancy 18-wheelers. Focus on creating something you can deliver," LaMerrill says. He believes that marketing is important, but your customers can't take home the image you're selling, only your actual product. "That's exactly what happened in 2004 with our 955 [Triumph] project. We showed up with our bike in the back of an F-150 pickup and beat the guys racing out of the expensive trailers."
LaMerrill Motorcycles came into being after the racing success of the Triumph-based project. In 2007, the paperwork was filed to officially create LaMerrill Motorcycles USA. Instead of racing to build a race bike, LaMerrill keeps a "laser focus" on his core customer group of trackday aficionados by using the track to work with potential buyers directly while building his product. "My customers will get a fantastic trackbike designed for exactly that. Each bike I build is built to its intended purpose," he says. Retaining flexibility has helped keep LaMerrill Motorcycles going despite the lean times.
"In 2008 and 2009, jobs just weren't coming in. We saw less complete bikes, more fabrication work," he says. These orders came from unusual sources for a motorcycle builder, including custom car and helicopter parts. In-house design and fabrication allowed LaMerrill Motorcycles to offer customized parts and products for nearly any application. LaMerrril also turned his focus to R&D, a decision that allowed him to make a better product rather than simply making do with what was available. In addition to R&D, LaMerrill saw an opportunity to increase his presence in the market and showcase his creations. "In late 2008, initial orders for the Stratus came and went as customers examined their financial situations," he says. "I didn't make the mistake of building a business on the prospects of orders, but on orders themselves. I didn't want to get stuck with a huge business loan for a fancy shop that I couldn't support. If you are nimble enough, you'll still be around in 50 years," LaMerrill explains. "So we went to car shows, boat shows, you name it. We started showing up at HSR (Historic Sportscar Racing) events and going out between races. We also got a lot of attention when the Stratus was featured in 2Wheel Tuner magazine and at the Indianapolis GP."
LaMerrill is quick to point out that while flexibility can help exploit opportunities, creativity can find new ones. The latest MotoGP rule-set introduced both the 600cc Moto2 class as well as production-based 1000cc class. Under the proposed rules, the existing 1000cc Stratus now qualifies as a customer-ready MotoGP contender. And, LaMerrill's current project is based around a middleweight engine — a possibility for the 600cc class. A competitive Moto2 chassis will weigh close to the 298 pound minimum and cost more than $50,000. LaMerrill expects to get within a couple of pounds of this and be significantly less costly. "I never would've thought about aiming for MotoGP or building helicopter parts," LaMerrill says. "MotoGP means more money and sponsors, even if it is more technically challenging. But I already have inquires coming from Barcelona about building two bikes for a Moto2 team. I'd like to be the first fully American team building bikes for Moto2."
Of course, LaMerrill's ultimate goal is the design and production of his own engine, to power his own complete motorcycle.
LaMerrill's core belief is that you can't rush through the learning curve of a project this ambitious, explaining how he has traded time and hard work for the usual business solution of throwing money at a problem. "I figure that if I have to learn engine and chassis development through my own experience, then I don't have to pay someone to build those parts for me. I don't see people making the effort, because everyone wants to do it the quick and easy way," he explains. "The problem with instant success is that you don't learn a damn thing. I don't believe that failure sets you back. Failure is evolution that teaches you what you need to learn." Every time he was forced to reengineer a part from someone else's engine, LaMerrill was in essence developing an all-new part for his own engine design. With plans for his own engine, LaMerrill begins to draw comparison to the late John Britton, whom LaMerrill holds in high regard. "He's definitely worth emulating, but he had a lot more money to work with than I do," LaMerrill notes.
At the end of the day, LaMerrill emphasizes that traditional business values are still very important in a struggling economy, adding that while people want high quality, they don't necessarily want to pay for it. Besides reliability and easily accessed parts, this is one of the reasons he uses a Yamaha motor.
LaMerrill Motorcycles also offer high levels of fit and finish such as multilayer carbon bodywork and built-in chassis protectors and offers potential buyers several unique options. Each bike is custom built to the customer's specifications, includes the owner's name in the VIN, and includes track delivery and custom set-up. ("Providing testing and tuning is simply what we do for our racers…. Try getting that with a Desmosedici," he says.) These special touches add value without significant impact to the bottom line. "Even at around $30,000, the Stratus is vastly under priced, especially against the Italian competition," LaMerrill notes. "Each new production model I've built is the end result of several models, basically a rough draft, then a final prototype and finally a customer-ready model. With an already developed motor like the R1, each bike still represents about $60,000 of work."
However one might feel about the prospect of starting a new motorcycle brand from scratch, LaMerrill is clear on what he believes is the most important lesson for those trying to thrive in the motorcycle business. "I had several people ask me, 'You really think you can do this? It's going to cost way too much,' but I'm trading time for money because I'm willing to learn [to do] all I need for myself because it makes a better product and saves money. Don't forget what got you into this business," he says. "Enthusiasm and passion will keep a business alive. Call it karma, but you get what you put out there. You can't afford to lose a single customer, and you won't if you make them feel wanted and included in what you offer." Countless times LaMerrill has considered giving up his quest in the face of another grenaded engine or another cored piston, but he never lost sight of his ultimate goals. "Make sure that what you need to be is what you want to be," he recommends. "If not, take a close look at what you're doing."
Dave LaMerrill concedes that attitude alone won't put food on the table, but tries not to let the nickels and dimes drag him down along the way.
