A couple of buddies did their rivets using the Mirce Finish set, http://www.nsmodelers.rs/ . Turned out real nice, but still a lot of work. Both TF P-47s.
Twinwar, I know about the crappy weather you have up north. I'm originally from the other end of NY (Buffalo/ & Grand Island). But in some ways you have more flying weather than us in Texas. Around here it is VERY windy quite a bit of the time. Can't really fly anything small. Now as for your advice about bellcranks.........the original Ziroli plans show two options, 2 servos or one servo and bellcranks/push rods. As much as I hate to tear out all the work I've done and put two servos in each wing, I guess that's the way I'll have to go. One good thing about that is that I tend to "over engineer" my building efforts. I seem to take something simple and complicate it, so converting to two servos might be doable. How strong would you suggest? I had a single 130 oz. installed but two of them seem to be overkill. On the other hand, there isn't much weight difference in a lesser strength servo is there? My over engineering tendencies and seeing your rivets makes me think I'll go that way too. I have a lot of irons in the fire but as soon as I can learn how to post pics I'll start doing so. Thanks for the info on the props...............
Well, she's gonna be heavy, I'd go as strong as possible. I'll have Hitec HS-645MG (133oz torque @ 6v) on ailerons, elevators, but will go stronger on rudder. I'm an overkill guy on servos. I'd rather have more than I need then not.
Not sure if you can really see the rivets, I wont post too many pics untill I get more done. I'm taking a break and I think I'm getting hip-mo-tized!
TwinWar, I also have the 645 MG servos but it seems that the outboard servo won't fit within the thickness of the wing. I was hoping to have them totally enclosed but it doesn't look like that's going to happen. Is the servo arm on your outboard servo outside of the wing skin? If I have to go that way I'm going to fabricate some fairings to kind of cover the arm. The rivets look good! I was thinking maybe a flat or semi-gloss finish would show them up better, like yours do in the primer.
I just got back from the hobby shop where I went to see if I could find a strong servo with a shorter case to fit in my wing. While there I met a guy who flies a Ziroli Crsair and a P-40. He says two servos on one aileron is overkill. Ask ten people a question and get ten different answers! Seems to me one servo is not spreading the load out enough for a long aileron (probably about 20"). Would two servos of about 70 0z. (I think that was the torque) work ok? This is a Ziroli DC-3 that obviously will not be aerobatic, just slow scale flight. Almost everything I read says use two servos but here's a man who is using just one.
Granted, the Corsair is not as big as the DC-3 but still a sizable plane.
Everyone in the shop at least agreed that pushrods and bellcranks from one servo is not the way to go, as Twinwar pointed out already. I agree with him and now have to figure out which way to go with servos....one or two.
Mirce rivet system
Anybody know how the Mirce rivet system works? I used the link edwin1 posted but I don't even know what language it is! It looks like pressure sensitive rivet "heads" on some sort of carrier strip. Might be worth a few bucks to have consistency in size. I have such catching up to do with technology!
Martin5465. You can get by with a single servo with no issues. The best thing to do would be to mount it at the center of the aileron. Not at the end. I did this for a 101" Hughes XF-11 without any problems. I think the aileron for that was about 16". Also we used thinwing servo's that were rated at I believe 80oz/in so you shouldn't have any problems with that

I dont recall ever seeing multiple servos on any scale plane other than the 3D type. Especially a warbird.
Here is a thread of a buddy that used the mirce system. It was tedious but worked. He also has screw heads and twistlocks.
Had to go back and look. Around post 1054 gives a good look what the results are after the primer.
I have a thread in another forum,addressing this very thing.-servo power-
I'll be building a Ziroli DC-3 and much as I love Nicky's designs, this a fail,in my eyes.
Having said that, those ailerons are 34" long, 3-5/8 wide at one end, and nearly 2" at the tip.
The two horns eliminate twist in the aileron, by attaching in two places......
I'm going to add diagonal braces,just under the surface to add torsional resistance..,and use one high torque servo, mounted farther ahead to be totally hidden.
A single servo has the ommph to move it-it just might twist or warp under deflection, without reinforcement.
TwinWar, the 645 servos will fit within the wing at the inboard location, but not at the outboard. One servo for a 34" aileron seems like we're looking for twisting trouble, no matter where you put it. At the hobby shop they showed me some shorter case servos but they didn't have metal gears. I'll have to do some research on this.
CapMike the Ziroli plans call for two servos or one strong one with bellcranks and pushrods, which seems to invite slop. Anyone I talked to does not like that setup.
Edwin1 Thanks for the link to the rivet technique. It's worth the money, IMO, but I only looked quickly thru the web site and didn't see 1/8 scale rivets. On something as big as a 12' DC-3 I don't think the 1/6 scale rivets would look too big. Anybody feel free to comment on that.
Epoxyearl, I just happened to see your post this morning. I'm thinking of going with two servos of 70 oz. each if I can find some with metal gears. I would enjoy the challenge of one big servo with pushrods and bellcranks but I don't want to bring the plane home from the field in garbage bags! Actually I had one big (133 oz.) servo mounted and was in the process of doing the bellcrank linkages when, after consultation with more experienced guys, decided to scrap that system. I'm in the process now of cutting out my bellcrank mounts and my main servo mount. My Ziroli plans show two options for aileron servos: one strong one with linkages or two in each wing. My plans are at least 15 years old so I don't know if he's changed his recommendations over the years.

IGT's American Idol® Encore creates another millionaire at Kewadin Casino St. Ignace
(ST. IGNACE – April 22, 2013) – A Caro, Michigan woman became a new millionaire in St. Ignace when she won a $3,275,998 jackpot on an International Game Technology (NYSE: IGT) Money Madness American Idol® Encore machine on April 21, 2013 at Kewadin Casino St. Ignace in St. Ignace, Mich. This jackpot is the largest IGT Wide Area Progressive in the state for over 5 years.
This lucky night Pamela S. shared the joy of win with her whole family, including her husband, son, all in-laws and some friends. The new multimillionaire plans to use her jackpot to buy a new truck, pay off her house and start building a retirement house she has been dreaming about for so long. "IGT congratulates our new winner and thanks Kewadin Casino St. Ignace for its participation," said Susan Cartwright, IGT VP Corporate Communications.
Kewadin St. Ignace is Pamela's favorite casino. While on her first motor coach trip with Renee Cragg tours 25 years ago, her husband hit a jackpot with the two free rolls of quarters that were given to bus groups. "We have been coming here on one of their tour busses ever since as an annual holiday gift to us," Pamela said. "After I pay off our house and buy a new truck, anything can happen," she said about her winnings. "This is a godsend for our family."
IGT launched MegaJackpots® progressive product line in 1986 and has since produced thousands of major winners with jackpots ranging from just over $1 million to the world record slot jackpot of more than $39 million. More information about IGT is available at www.IGT.com.

Washout at Aigburth again
Click here for exclusive match highlights from every day's play, latest scores, reports, news and interviews during the LV= County Championship campaign
Lancashire and Surrey were left frustrated as their LV= County Championship Division One match at Aigburth fell victim to bad weather for the second day running.
Both sets of players got out onto the field to warm up just before an early lunch was taken at midday, but rain arrived shortly afterwards to force an abandonment one hour later.
This is Lancs' eighth washout of a campaign which has seen them relegated and their number of overs lost now totals 1,811.
The county's hierarchy have been keen to stress that the poor weather this summer has not been to blame for their relegation just a year on from their title success, but there is still plenty of frustration.
Cricket director Mike Watkinson said: "It's cold, it's wet and it's got an end-of-season feel to it.
"On the field, when we've had chance to play, we've not done what we're capable of.
"It's gone from being a remarkable 2011 to a forgettable 2012 for many reasons. We don't know what 2013 will hold in store for us weather-wise, but what it will have is a bunch of very committed cricketers hoping to put one or two things right to get us back on track again."
Surrey have not escaped the bad weather this season either. In May they saw their match against Durham at the Kia Oval completely washed out without a ball bowled across the four days.

I need to print print label with barcodes on Datamax printers( Datamax I-4604 & datamax I-4304) via SAP in warehouse management.
I need to know the steps i will have to do for printing via smartform, sapscript or adobe forms.
I have found that In case of sapscript and smartforms we need to use bartender sofftware and uplaod via so10. and incase of adobe forms we can print directly.
Please explain me in detail or any information so that I can decide.
Does SAP smartforms support bar code printing directly for datamax printers like for zebra printers. I have read old posts which states they do not.
Hello Gautam.
Refer this link for creating barcode via smartforms.
I have made use of the Code 128 barcode with following parameters to print via dotmatrix printers(WeP) but not sure about Zebra printers.
Bar Code Symbology Code 128
Bar Code Alignment Normal
Narrow Module Width 08
Linear Height 00150
Code128 Mode: A
Hi, I am not sure about the adobe forms but using bar tender software you can design the labels and import them in SAP scripts easily as it involves designing labels with the fields on a graphical painter.
If you have the availability of this software you can go for designing using smartforms or scripts.
Thanks everyone for response. ALthough I have not used bartender software I am aware that we can create label and import it via so10.
In case of smartform and script i need a detailed steps on using bartender and printing because datamax printers do not support direct printing via SAP. how the values from sap would be mapped to layout designed in bartender.
Now lastly if anyone has printed labels with Adobe forms than i need the steps for this method as well.
The steps shown will perfectly work with zebra printer. But will they work on Datamax printer because sap does not have dedicated device type for Datamax.
We have convinced client to buy Zebra printer.

Not many near me that are not private or at least require a membership of some sort. I'm in Peoria, so When I go out, it's usually to the property of a friend of up to a place in Ottawa called the "Buffalo Range".
Don Gwinn
January 5, 2006, 06:44 PM
How central do you want to get? I can ask to host a get-together at Abe Lincoln Gun Club in Springfield, although I don't know that I could do it.
That would mean some restrictions--no targets that could cause ricochet, no full-auto or approximations thereof, and absolutely no alcohol or even empty containers on the property even after the guns are put away.
Darnall's in Bloomington is supposed to be great, and they do some really good defensive classes as well. Midwest Training Group is based there and they say they will do classes for groups on request, so if we could put together enough people we could do a THR shooting class. Bloomington is also very central, maybe even more so than Springfield.
The Buffalo Range is in Ottawa, which as observed above is not very centrally located, but it has the advantage of being a lot "looser" venue. They've got a "pit" area where you can shoot pretty much any target you want, for instance, and I believe they've got an area that's good for barbecue.
I haven't been there myself, this is just what I've been told.
January 5, 2006, 11:34 PM
I go to buffalo range. Its a pretty cool place for shooting, but it does have weaknesses. The longest rifle range is only 100 yards. I would like to see something like 300-500. Also, the tables and stools you get are pretty old and rotted. Other than that, it's an awesome place to shoot. Its the only place I can go within 2 hours of my house and pretty much the only place I've ever shot.
January 5, 2006, 11:35 PM
does anybody have contact info for the buffalo rock range?
January 5, 2006, 11:43 PM
anybody have contact info for bufalo rock? TIA
January 5, 2006, 11:46 PM
They are closed until march 31st though. I have nighmares about not being able to shoot and thats the only place I can go.
January 6, 2006, 10:51 AM
Great place and good people. They have done a lot of work to the place and there are plans for a two hundred yard range to be put in within a couple years.
100yrd benches
The plinking pit, bump firing your weapon is ok!
This is the area where AR15.com held their Tactical rifle match this fall. It was a low speed casual match where newbies were encouraged to join the fun.
January 6, 2006, 11:15 AM
Looking out at the 50/75/100 yard target stands.
There is a dedicated pistol area and a dedicated shot gun area with clay throwers.
There is a large area where you can set up a picnic and I think there is a grill already there.
I know the CRO and some of the employees. If Buffalo works for you guys in the spring let me know. They may be willing to open up the area where the Tac rifle shoot was held for a THR only shoot.
Us Illinois ARFCOM guys will have a spring shoot also with a possible three gun shoot. Last falls three gun turned into seperate rifle and shotgun matches.
January 6, 2006, 11:16 AM
Midwest Training Group is based there and they say they will do classes for groups on request, so if we could put together enough people we could do a THR shooting class.
I am 100% in on this.
The only reason I haven't taken a course yet is I have nobody to go with. It would be great if we could put something together.
January 6, 2006, 11:44 AM
I am down for a get together of some sort at the Buffalo Range or even something in Blomington. The best thing about the buffalo range is the price and the atmosphere. Can't wait till the cold breaks.
January 7, 2006, 10:26 AM
Personally I'm in Christian County, so Ottawa is a little bit of a hike for me. I was hoping for something a little more south.
Springfield would be a good area to center on and move out. I have been amazed at the lack of decent ranges out here. Pretty sad to me. Heck I have even been toying with the idea of picking up land just too build my own personal range.
January 7, 2006, 01:20 PM
I have been thinking the same, since I moved back from the sheeples republic of **********....but the land is pretty expensive as most of it is prime farming and hunting land. The one good thing about the west coast was the abundance of BLM land. An added bonus in southern ********** was the proximity of the BLM land to the bombing ranges for the Navy, Maarines, and AF. On multiple ocassions we got to watch some f-15 &f-18s drop ordinance at the other end of the chockwalla valley. Iw ould be down for a training class in blomington if it works with my travel schedule for work.

So go by yourself. It'll be fine, trust me on that.
January 7, 2006, 06:43 PM
There's a relatively new range north of Peoria (on the East side of the river). Midwest Firearms invited a bunch of people out there last July and Springfield came down along with Armalite and a couple of other mfg's and let people shoot for free. It was pretty good. I was able to shoot a M1A Supermatch and a Leatham TGO .45. (Very impressed). My neighbor and I have put together a crude 100 yard range that's not too bad but it's a single lane. I've heard that Darnell's (Bloomington) has 200 and 300 yard ranges but I haven't been out there to check it out. (I'm not much of a shot at 100 . . .so . . :) )
January 7, 2006, 08:39 PM
I was just looking at that Darnall's range in Bloomington. I've never seen this place before, and it looks very interesting. Although it is about 45 mins further away from my house than Buffalo Range, the extra time is well worth it. They have a 300 yard range, and membership is only $65 a year. I go to Buffalo Range like 4 times per summer and thats $80. Not to mention Buffalo Range is closed during winter, whereas Darnalls is not. I'm probably going to shoot there sometime soon or I might go into withdrawal. I need some more info about it but I'll save that for a separate thread.
January 7, 2006, 10:10 PM
I am down for a get together of some sort at the Buffalo Range or even something in Blomington. The best thing about the buffalo range is the price and the atmosphere. Can't wait till the cold breaks.
I shoot on a friend's farm most of the time but we go to Buffalo once in awhile for the atmosphere. It is a nice place to shoot. Other shooters are great. I've had the opportunity to shoot a few nice guns by invitation to do so including a couple ARs and a S&W 657 41 mag.
I intend to get an AR rifle but need to learn more about them first.
January 8, 2006, 12:21 AM
I previously held a membership at Darnall's. It is a nice range...located just outside of Bloomington. Shooting the 200 and 300 yard ranges require advance notice because the 300 yard lane basically scans the entire firing line. I only let the membership lapse because I moved another hour north...else I would have re-upped.
Buffalo Rock Range is OK for a public range...but I must confess that I have had more than a few bad experiences there with other shooters. The "plinking" pit runs a bit loose for my taste...and I have seen some ludicrous behavior on the covered lanes. The bullet holes in the shelter roof gives you some idea...:uhoh: I have shot there many times over the last 10 years or so...it just seems that the quality of my experience has really been dependent on the quality of the other shooters' level of concern (or lack thereof) for safety. YMMV.

If you want to be the envy of everyone in the neighborhood, then you'll want the Samsung Super OLED 55″ TV hanging on your wall. The 8mm-thin display will wow your guests! And that's not all, it's got a ton of features including, if you don't feel like pushing the remote control, just TELL it what to do. It has voice recognition plus a built-in camera with face recognition and motion control. Samsung is expected to put the super skinny, Super OLED on store shelves later this year. LG is expected to bring out their version with a whopping 4mm option. But be sure to start saving now, they'll probably come with a hefty price tag!

Dance Clubs
Few pursuits tap into the pleasures of nightlife more than dancing. Giving yourself over to the rhythms, the lights, and the energy is a total release. When you want that feeling, we'll introduce you to the best dance clubs in Vienna. Top DJs get things moving, and other patrons ensure that there's plenty to see along the way. To follow the crowds, head to U4 and see what lies in store; for a more subdued experience, give Flex a try. Either way, 10Best will make sure you know the best places to dance in Vienna.
Stunningly lit disco club on the Ringstrasse. Best 70s and 80s hits are played on Tuesdays for "Bachelor Club" night. The "Cosmopolitan Club" on Wednesdays brings R'n'B and House music to the dance floor. Thursday is "Between Club" night: anything from old-time German sing-a-longs to 90s hits. There's house music at Friday night's "Club Fusion"; and on Saturdays the "Sunshine Club" promises premium dance music at its best. (1-961-8800)
Guests over the years have included Prince, Kurt Cobain, Johnny Depp and Courtney Love; Falco was a regular. After a 6-month renovation at the end of 2005, U4 added the newest technology and regained its former glory. Mondays swap between Italo-club and 80s night; Tuesdays are student nights; Wednesdays feature live gigs by local bands; Thursday is rock night; Fridays are for the house club; and on Saturdays you can catch disco-fever. (+43-1-817 11 92-0)
A Danceclub
Situated in the Millenium City on the banks of the Danube and easy to reach by train or underground, this is for party-people. There are 2 dance floors: the Danceclub for dance-hits old and new, and the Talstation which simulates an Apres-Ski atmosphere. Every Wednesday there's the After-Job-Party with entry and buffet, and a cocktail happy-hour from 6pm to 10pm. Thursday is ladies' night, and Saturday is singles night when over 25s get a free bottle of Prosecco. (1-253-0800)
Once alternative, now pretty mainstream, always hugely popular. Don't go to chat: the music system is famous for its quality and decibel output. DJs playing techno, house, etc. and there are occasional live acts. Garden next to the Danube Canal with a Würstelstand (hot-dog stand) in summer. (1-533-7525)
Based on the concept of flexibility and mobility, the program ranges from reggae night on Tuesday to hip-hop & R'n'B night on Saturday. You can swing your hips on "Salsa Afterwork" Thursdays or look out for and go along to a one-off event. It is a great location: wander through the peaceful, manicured gardens between the Burgtheater and the Hofburg during the day, and return at night to one of the liveliest atmospheres in the city.

HARRISBURG - The state's former chief dog-law enforcer is plunging into rarely traveled legal territory by suing her critics in the animal-welfare world for alleged defamation.
The suit, filed Wednesday in Dauphin County Court by Jessie Smith, former special deputy secretary of the Bureau of Dog Law Enforcement, could test the boundaries of libel law in cyberspace and raises fresh issues about what constitutes malice in the public realm, a legal expert says.
In her lawsuit, Smith, appointed in 2006 by then-Gov. Ed Rendell and dismissed last year after Gov. Corbett took office, contends she was the victim of a years-long smear campaign by "radical animal-welfare activists" who suggested she had traded leniency on dog-law enforcement for sexual favors with a kennel operator. One activist has contended the suggestions were meant in jest.

Match Point
I guess I'm supposed to be mystified by this being a Woody Allen film because it takes place in London instead of New York, and everyone is sporting a British accent, with the exception of Nola Rice (Scarlett Johansson), who's American. I wasn't fooled.
While it's not a comedy and there really isn't a lot of that Allenesque dialogue and nobody in the film is pretending to be Woody Allen, it still deals with one of those fundamental Woody Allen themes and in that it seemed a whole lot like "Crimes and Misdemeanors." That theme isn't exactly new either.
Chris Wilson (Jonathan Rhys-Meyers) is a tennis pro from humble origins. He gets a job teaching tennis in a posh country club when he meets Tom Hewett (Matthew Goode) and his sister, Chloe (Emily Mortimer), who are both rich members. The moment she meets Chris, it's pretty obvious that Chloe's interested in learning more than tennis strokes because her whole body starts quivering like a little girl in a candy shop. This all seems good for Chris -- he's heading up the social ladder after all -- until he meets Tom's girlfriend, Nola.
The basic difference between the two women is that Nola is sexy while Chloe is sweet. One might go so far as to say that Chloe is sexually dull while Nola is sexually arousing. So despite having Chloe, Chris just can't resist going after Nola, despite the fact that he's engaged to Chloe and Nola is with his future brother-in-law. At this point, most men would have settled for some healthy fantasizing or asking Chloe to wear a Nola-flavored wig but not Chris. No, Chris has to jeopardize everything by pursuing Nola until he's sleeping with her and married to Chloe.
By this point, I hated Chris and despised the movie. First of all, Emily Mortimer is freaking hot. I'd sleep with Emily and a hundred Scarlett Johanssons could wander by and I wouldn't even look. I mean, did you see Mortimer in "Lovely and Amazing"? I'm sure that whole bush thing was just a special effect. And what do we know about Scarlett? Nothing. I'll take what I know. The fact that Chris doesn't makes his character -- and the entire movie -- utterly uninteresting.

The Mobile Dilemma
Mobile is a struggle. High costs, isolated solutions, duplication of effort, long lead times, poor conversion rates – all without the expected revenue returns. And yet mobile is where your customers are. Anything short of comprehensive mobile excellence is not an option. Below, three fundamental truths that drive the mobile imperative. And one new approach to solving the dilemma.
Mobile changes everything
Mobile has broken the traditional marketing funnel into dozens of intent-driven but disconnected moments in which customers' expectations are high and efficiency is crucial. These fragmented moments lead to many dead ends in the customer journey, where the mobile experience is sub par or the customer gets distracted and exits the journey. For brands, this has resulted in higher acquisition costs, lower revenues, and fleeting customer loyalty. Yet mobile is increasingly how your customers prefer to browse and shop, online and in-store.
Mobile blurs online & offline
Mobile has transitioned from a digital-only experience to a blend of physical and online interactions. Customers use their phones in-store to check competitive pricing, read reviews, or get opinions from friends. Customer usage of mobile while in-store creates new engagement opportunities for brands but to deliver it requires management of more technology in an increasingly complex marketing technology stack.
Point solutions miss the point
The complex integrations and long implementation cycles of point solutions make it impossible to keep up – and they only solve singular symptoms. Most retailers don't have the budget and resources required to integrate and maintain point solutions across web, multi-OS apps, push notifications, desktop, TV, social media, chat, and the next big thing, however, the customer expectation remains.The customer expectation is one of seamlessness and instant gratification on mobile. Buying and implementing mobile point solutions, like responsive design, in isolation doesn't address the mobile experience holistically.
Mobile customer engagement is the solution
Relationships are at the heart of commerce. Understanding and responding to the entire customer journey requires unifying fragmented interactions into a single, cohesive experience, which improves growth, revenues and loyalty. Building better relationships is our focus. Mobify's Mobile Customer Engagement Platform unifies the complete mobile experience across web, iOS apps, Android apps, and push notifications, with a future that may include smart watches, smart TV's, and even virtual and augmented reality. All of these experiences managed through a single platform to create sustained engagement at every customer interaction.
What's in the Mobify Platform
Progressive Mobile
Mobify Progressive Mobile technology leverages the best of native apps and responsive design to deliver both an app-like mobile web experience and hybrid native apps that leverage content and business rules from your commerce platform, minimizing development, operational, and maintenance expenses.
Engagement Engine

The Engagement Engine gets more powerful with each customer action, allowing marketers to engage their customers with increasingly relevant content. The Engagement Engine processes customer engagements in real-time to deliver the right content to the right customer, in the right context, at the right time, and in the right place.
Connection Center
The Connection Center is the central hub for marketers and merchandisers to plan and deliver their mobile engagement. Using Mobify's Smart Campaigns and Smart Content, marketers develop personalized engagement across all Progressive Mobile devices and screens based on customer context, behavior, and location.

A lack of candidates has led to the cancellation of Lake Tanglewood's municipal election.
"This is the first time that I know of (that there hasn't been enough candidates), and I've been on the City Council for 10 years," said village secretary and alderman Jean Gaut. "I think that basically the people down here are satisfied with the way the city is being run, but there should be more interest."
Greg Glenn and incumbent Randy Watson are the only candidates for the village's three two-year alderman positions, and both filed on the last day, Gaut said.
"I have a lot of respect for the people that are serving, and if I could help in their endeavors I would try," Glenn said. "I want to help the community with whatever issues might come up."
Glenn said one reason for a lack of candidates might be the lack of controversy. This year there wasn't any, Glenn said.
State laws allow the village to cancel the election and appoint a person to fill the vacancy after May 1, Gaut said. If there had been no candidates for more than one position, the village would have been forced to call a special election.
Alderman Donald Conley, whose position is on the ballot this election, said he made a decision not to run again. Conley did not elaborate.
Gaut said the village has canceled elections before but not for a lack of candidates. She said two elections ago no candidate drew an opponent, and the election was canceled.
The village's most recent municipal election pitted three candidates against each other for a single alderman position, Gaut said.

Frank Rosolino & Carl Fontana: Together on Rock Bottom
by Antonio J. García
Associate Jazz Editor, ITA Journal
In 1975 trombonist/composer Bobby Knight began writing and gathering music for a new band he envisioned: The Great American Trombone Company. The ensemble made its debut in 1977; and though it packed the club on word-of-mouth advertising alone, it did not reappear until the start of an ongoing gig at Donte's in North Hollywood, California in April 1978.1 The success of this trombone-plus-rhythm ensemble led to live recordings at the club in June 1978 that became the Sea Breeze vinyl BOBBY KNIGHT'S GREAT AMERICAN TROMBONE COMPANY: CREAM OF THE CROP, now available on the Jazz Mark 116 CD of the same name (105 North Newton, El Dorado, Arkansas 71730, or from your favorite CD retailer).
Aptly titled, this crop included the rhythm section of Lou Levy (piano), Chuck Berghofer (bass) and Frankie Capp (drums) interacting with some of the finest jazz and studio trombonists around: founder Knight plus Charlie Loper, Lew McCreary, bass trombonist Phil Teele and two jazz legends who had never shared a complete album together: Carl Fontana and Frank Rosolino.2 They were inspired by the contributions of the accomplished arrangers Bob Florence, Gordon Brisker, Billy Byers and Knight. This CD captures the group in the very best of the live club-date recording tradition: "There are no intercuts, edits or electronic gimmicks to 'enhance' the music. What you hear is what we played...with no mixing after the session."3
Rock Bottom serves as an ideal vehicle for the irresistible pairing of Fontana and Rosolino, who not only perform bluesy bebop solos but then trade improvisations as well. As they do so, they display so many expressive "tools of the trade": strict versus loose eighth-note feel, variety of articulation, dynamics, motivic use, pace, lyricism, pitch-variance and tone color along with the added elements of interplay and humor. The landscape Rock Bottom provides adds one more, very significant element to their musical frolick: the solo section alternates between Bb minor and Bb major (or dominant) blues choruses. In order not to crowd the transcription of these solos, the exact chord changes "comped" by the rhythm section are not notated; however, the basic progressions are shown in the accompanying sidebar. These are altered at the will of the players, most substantially in Frank's third (and minor) chorus.
Frank's Solo
Rosolino begins the solo section; and right from the start we can see his willingness to "go with the flow" of the tune he's playing on: his opening, triplet motif quotes the material of the ensemble interlude that has led to his solo. And recognizing the bucket-muted ensemble melody that precedes his solo, his choice of using a buzz-mute allows him to shade his projected mood that much more, offering a viewpoint that at times seems earthy or sarcastic, other times as playful as a kazoo and at others downright joyous, often coinciding with the alternating major or minor quality of the blues changes.
Any Rosolino solo will likely include many rhythms not able to be literally represented on paper; so markings of "lay back" or "ahead" are common here, as well as alternations between swung eighths and straight ones. Such rhythmic fluidity is perhaps his most notable trademark, and the clarity within his abrupt streams of rapid notes is truly amazing.
He begins by toying with the Bb blues scale, implementing many long note-values, thus leaving room for growth later on. His first chorus has a rather earthy quality, combining that scale, the minor-based changes and the buzz-mute (mm. A-12). But with the arrival of the second chorus, this one in major, a brief passage of swinging eighths leads directly to an eight-bar assault of sixteenths (mm. 16-23), somehow each light and seemingly effortless, blending three, four or five notes together within a beat in a variety of different ways, including passing in and out of a cross-rhythm (mm. 19-20). The last sixteenths spill out into a long tone that crosses over into his third chorus.
This chorus (m. 25) is minor, and Rosolino returns to treat the blues similarly to his first chorus. Several simple phrases are followed by a set of sixteenth-note cross-rhythms (mm. 30-32) before returning to a groove that continues into his fourth chorus (m. 37), a major-based set of changes. Those fluid sixteenths return again (m. 40), bringing on a wave of notes one could perhaps best describe as "skittish" (such clean, staccato notes while dividing the beat four or five ways!) As contrast, Frank finishes his solo by "laying back" on a pair of eighth-phrases (mm. 46-48) and diving into his low range.
Carl's Solo
Carl Fontana's entrance falls on a minor-oriented chorus, while pianist Lou Levy echoes Gil Evans' orchestrational figures from Miles Davis' Summertime rendition (m. 49) and Frankie Capp's sixteenth-based ride cymbal (rather than triplet-based) continues to lock in so well with Chuck Berghofer's bass. Carl responds by playing in a rhythmically loose fashion, likely inspired by Frank. Fontana's triplet-eighths (m. 50) drag into delayed eighths, then rushed eighths (m. 51). The phrases that follow possess great rhythmic flexibility and at times bear close resemblance to Frank's style.
One identifying factor is the syncopated-sixteenth rhythm appearing on beats three and four of bar 58; this recurs several times in Carl's solo but is not present in Frank's by this chorus. Fontana "lays back" that figure right over the double-bar line into his second chorus, one in major (m. 61). This chorus contains a Fontana trademark: the rapid, fluid, ascending and descending arpeggio (mm. 67-68). The syncopated figure (from m. 58) returns to open his third (minor) chorus and segues to a six-bar phrase that begins as his first sustained display of speed, then gradually tapers down into quarter notes (mm. 74-79). This syncopated figure is utilized several times before connecting to his fourth (major) chorus and a quote from circus music to invite laughter from the audience (mm. 85-86).
The phrase that follows splits the beats at will into three, four, five, even six parts (mm. 87-90). A brief respite (mm. 90-92) is followed directly by nearly a chorus and a half of double-time figures (mm. 92-109) that include parallels to previous measures (such as mm. 100-102 compared to mm. 85-86, mm. 103 such as m. 91) to complete his solo and yield to Rosolino, who begins trading fours.
The Trades
This tenth chorus (in major) begins with Frank's bluesy, swinging licks (mm. 109-112); but he challenges with a burst of energy (mm. 117-118) that invites Carl to respond with his trademark arpeggio (mm. 121-122), followed by an extra four bars that crowds far into Frank's turn to play (mm. 125-128). Rosolino decides to get a word in edgewise, issuing a meek, almost whimpering sound (mm. 128-129) quoting Carl's previous line that elicits some attendees' laughter before settling back into the groove (mm. 130-132).
Fontana takes Rosolino's pitches and toys with them further to open the twelfth chorus (m. 133), this one in major. He closes his phrase with the syncopated-sixteenth figure (mm. 135-136), which Frank in turn picks up and stretches into a remarkable display of rhythmic fluidity (mm. 137-141). Fontana returns to the figure to close the chorus (mm. 141-144).
In the thirteenth chorus (in minor), both players relax slightly off the pervious pace (mm. 145-146) at first; but Rosolino finishes with flair heading into the final tag (mm. 157-166) that segues back to the ensemble.
A Landmark Recording
These solos were transcribed from the original LP in real time using a basic cassette player—actually two, as the initial device broke under the pressure of the transcription challenge. The current CD release of 12 selections includes two gems that were not on the LP: Stardust (featuring Fontana) and Lover Man (Rosolino). Rosolino died not long after this recording; Fontana passed much more recently. But CREAM OF THE CROP documents their superb, fun, musical expression—and their interplay on Rock Bottom in particular—forever.

Of his jazz curricular work, Standard of Excellence states: "Antonio García has developed a series of Scope and Sequence of Instruction charts to provide a structure that will ensure academic integrity in jazz education." Wynton Marsalis emphasizes: "Eight key categories meet the challenge of teaching what is historically an oral and aural tradition. All are important ingredients in the recipe." The Chicago Tribune has highlighted García's "splendid solos...virtuosity and musicianship...ingenious scoring...shrewd arrangements...exotic orchestral colors, witty riffs, and gloriously uninhibited splashes of dissonance...translucent textures and elegant voicing" and cited him as "a nationally noted jazz artist/educator...one of the most prominent young music educators in the country." Down Beat has recognized his "knowing solo work on trombone" and "first-class writing of special interest." The Jazz Report has written about the "talented trombonist," and Cadence noted his "hauntingly lovely" composing as well as CD production "recommended without any qualifications whatsoever." Phil Collins has said simply, "He can be in my band whenever he wants." García is also the subject of an extensive interview within Bonanza: Insights and Wisdom from Professional Jazz Trombonists (Advance Music), profiled along with such artists as Bill Watrous, Mike Davis, Bill Reichenbach, Wayne Andre, John Fedchock, Conrad Herwig, Steve Turre, Jim Pugh, and Ed Neumeister.

text: New Delhi: An upbeat Services will look to continue their winning momentum when they meet Kerala in their Ranji Trophy round five encounter starting at the Palam Ground from Saturday. After a sparkling win against Assam, Services will hope to add to their tally of 14 points from four matches and move further up the Group C table. Riding on a good show by speedster Suraj Yadav (4 for 28), Services defeated Assam by ten wickets wickets after their most reliable batsman Rajat Paliwal scored 167 off 248 balls to set up the push for victory. Paliwal took charge after their most experienced batsman Yashpal Singh, who played a match-winning knock in the previous match against Assam, failed to deliver. Shadab Nazar, who took match-winning figures of 6 for 50 against Assam, is currently 12th in the wicket-takersâ tally and will be leading Servicesâ pace attack once again. In the third game, Services were able to take three points by virtue of first-innings lead with Yashpal having scored an unbeaten 250 off 361. The 31-year-old is currently eighth in the most runs tally with 397, above Paliwal who is tenth with 395 runs from four matches. Though he failed to deliver against Assam, a good knock will be expected from the experienced batsman on the same venue. Apart from Yashpal, rookie Anshul Gupta has also put up strong performances in the middle order. On the other hand, Kerala played a draw against Goa in their last Group C encounter. After scoring a massive 512 for 8 declared in their first innings, Goa bundled out Kerala for a mere 297 and then enforced the follow-on on the hosts. Kerala ended their second innings at 120 for 4 when stumps were drawn on the fourth day. With the likes of VA Jagadeesh, Rohan Prem and Robert Fernandez, their batting is capable enough to give a fightback but the bowling is the major concern. Against Goa, the bowlers gave away runs to gifted Goa the advantage of taking the first-innings lead. Except for Chovvakkaran Shahid, who took 4 for 149, none of the other bowlers lived up to expectations. Kerala have played three games so far in the tournament and are on seventh in the tally with three points and need to start winning in order to qualify for the knock-outs. Probable XIsServices: 1 Pratik Desai, 2 Soomik Chatarjee (capt), 3 Ansuhl Gupta, 4 Yashpal Singh, 5 Soumya Swain, 6 Rajat Paliwal, 7 Sarabjit Singh (wk), 8 Muzzaffaruddin Khalid, 9 Suraj Yadav, 10 Shadab Nazar, 11 Nishan Singh.Kerala: 1 Abhishek Hegde, 2 VA Jagadeesh, 3 Perumparambath Anthaf, 4 Rohan Prem, 5 Sanju Samson, 6 Robert Fernandez, 7 Sachin Baby, 8 Akshay Kodoth (wk), 9 Sony Cheruvathur (capt), 10 Chovvakkaran Shahid, 11 Sandeep Warrier

Ronnie Oswald – Owner, Head Coach and Personal Trainer
Passion for People: From day one of his professional career, he has been dedicated to improving the lives of his clients. Prior to his personal training career, he was a child services social worker for the state of Missouri. His desire to help children and their families find a better life was not enough to make a difference in an understaffed, bureaucratic government agency. To his pregnant wife's initial dismay, he quit his state job and began a fresh start as a personal trainer. Fitness and health had been a hobby, but as he built his clientele base, he discovered in personal training a fulfilling career as he helped people improve their quality of life.
He has worked with every type of client imaginable, from recovering couch potatoes, to triathletes, to figure competitors. Ronnie has a love for fitness and lives it in his everyday life, always experimenting with his own personal workouts to develop the next toughest fitness challenge, incorporating his experiences with his clients to help them reach their goals. He has the unique ability to connect with people of any personality and background to inspire and motivate them to be their best. He enjoys putting his own efforts to the test in races, Strongman challenges, and other fitness events. Upon discovering CrossFit programming in 2009, he found an even more effective and fun way to help people be their best. He loves sports; working with athletes to help improve their sports performance while also helping them develop self discipline and foundational life skills.
Education and Experience: Ronnie has been a certified personal trainer since early 2007, servicing over 5,000 training sessions while holding various nationally recognized personal training certs like ISSA, NESTA, and AFAA. He is currently Level One CrossFit and CrossFit Weightlifting certified. And hey, he is not some certified meathead, he's actually a college graduate, with a Bachelors in Sociology from University of Missouri Kansas City.
The Guy Behind Sky's Limit CrossFit: There's a lot more to Ronnie than personal fitness training and tattoos. He'll claim his favorite movie is Gladiator, but secretly, it's Urban Cowboy. He's a fan of hard rock, mixed martial arts, and riding his Harley. You'd think he's some kind of tough guy based on all that, but you haven't seen him read Mickey Mouse Clubhouse storybooks to his daughter, Skyler, or help her paint her little toenails. He's a strong guy with a big heart, who's driven by the journey to health, fitness, and happiness, not only for himself, but for his family, friends, and clients.
Kevin Kelley – Coach and Personal Trainer
Kevin's Journey: Born and raised in Buffalo, New York, Kevin quickly became fascinated with sports, playing every sport he could at a young age. It was at this point that Kevin began his transformation to becoming a full on meathead. In high school Kevin's focus shifted to football and the sport that would become a significant and lasting part of his life: lacrosse. Kevin followed both sports to junior college…while there he was recruited by the top lacrosse schools in the country, ultimately deciding to play lacrosse for Syracuse University – his first and only choice. At Syracuse Kevin played in two final fours and Syracuse won the National Championship his senior year.
After college, Kevin moved to Chicago and eventually Kansas City searching for what he loved to do. When Kevin was at his wits end, a hero, a white knight if you will, by the name of Ronnie Oswald, hired Kevin to work at 24 Hour Fitness. Under his tutelage, like a Jedi Master, Ronnie helped teach Kevin the ways of becoming a caring, attentive and successful trainer. Ronnie also introduced Kevin to the world of CrossFit. After only doing it for a short period of time, Kevin raced out to get his CrossFit Level 1 certification so he could join Ronnie at Sky's Limit CrossFit.
Since moving to Kansas City, Kevin has reconnected with his lacrosse roots. He coached at Shawnee Mission East helping lead the Lancers to the 2010 and 2011 Kansas State Championship's, as well as the first LAKC city title. Kevin is currently the Head Men's Lacrosse Coach at Rockhurst University.
?Kevin is certified in the following: CrossFit Level 1, USA Weightlifting Level 1 Sports Performance, ISSA, NESTA.
Coaching Mentality: Through Kevin's journey he has noticed the similarity in personal training and coaching lacrosse. They are, essentially, one in the same. In both, Kevin teaches, coaches and trains people of different walks of life, personality, skills and abilities, how to become the best they can in their respective arenas. Kevin gets no greater satisfaction than watching people succeed from their own hard work. Although a lot of people limit themselves, Kevin believes it is his mission to help them break through those barriers and achieve success in areas previously not thought possible.
The Women Behind the Man: Kevin is head over heels in love with his wife, Jessie. "She is my heart and soul. I could do nothing without her. She supports me in EVERYTHING I do. It's clichéd but she's my rock." Kevin has two daughters Cora and Evelyn. "Cora is my whole being. She is my little redhead who continually amazes me. Evelyn (Evey) has created another spot in my heart. I never knew that I had this much love in my heart for another angel like my blue-eyed Evey. I would do anything for my girls. Anything."
When not spending time with his three girls (and dog Millie), coaching or being a meathead, Kevin enjoys the Howard Stern show, watching sports, listening to old school rap or watching Seinfeld re-runs.
Sean Russell – Coach/Firefighter
A.k.a. "Big Scene" was born in Kansas City, MO and raised in Overland Park, KS. He dabbled in the whole gamut of team sports growing up, but finally settled on a single sport, baseball, in high school. Sean was recruited out of high school by Avila University, right here in Kansas City, and pitched for the Avila Eagles throughout his college career.
Subsequent to college graduation, and due to a lack of exciting career choices relevant to a B.A. in Sociology, Sean was compelled to serve his country. He enlisted in the United States Air Force and served as a paratrooper/ROMAD (Recon, Observe, Mark and Destroy) in a TACP (Tactical Air Control Party) unit. He was stationed at Pope Air Force Base in Fayetteville, NC and was aligned with the 82nd Airborne Division at Fort Bragg.
Upon completion of his military service, Sean worked as a volunteer firefighter and earned his Firefighter and EMT certifications. He has worked as a full-time firefighter ever since and has been with the Lenexa Fire Department since 2007.
Fitness Inspiration: Sean has been committed to fitness ever since he was bullied one sunny afternoon while walking home from grade school; he was determined to never allow that to happen again. As a collegiate athlete, the desire to remain competitive and produce favorable results was the motivation to be fit. As a paratrooper and now as a firefighter, the motivation to be fit is survival, not only his own, but that of his crew; the main goal being to make it home at the end of each and every shift.
Sean has been exposed to a variety of fitness regimens throughout his athletic, military and firefighting careers. He was introduced to Crossfit while attending the firefighting academy for the Lenexa Fire Department and never looked back. Sean loves CrossFit not only because of the obvious health and fitness benefits, but because of its competitive nature. Sean became a CrossFit Level I certificate holder in April of 2012 and CrossFit Weightlifting in 2014. He has also been a National Strength and Conditioning Association Certified Personal Trainer for several years.
Big Scene's inspiration is rooted in his faith. He believes that anyone who has been blessed with a healthy mind and body should always strive toward perfecting these gifts through hard work and perseverance. Sean hopes that through his coaching, he will not only be able to inspire others, but to help them make their fitness goals become reality. There is nothing more gratifying, from a coaching perspective, than to witness someone accomplish what they had set out to do; or to even achieve a task they had previously thought to be impossible.
When Sean is not at the fire station, coaching/training at Sky's or teaching CPR, he spends quality time with his two cats, Tito & Gracie.
Harry Kuan – Coach/Firefighter
Sport of Fitness: Harry's fitness began with a life of rugby, playing for Park Hill High School in Kansas City, Truman State University, and even a short stint playing in New Zealand. Upon return to KC, Harry played and coaches for the Kansas City Rugby Football Club. It was a fellow rugby teammate who introduced him to CrossFit as part of his off-season workouts. While trying to teach himself CrossFit at the local 24 Hour Fitness, he met future Sky's Limit CrossFit owner Ronnie Oswald, and they began working out together.
Harry's love for sport and fitness led him to join Sky's and assist as a coach when not at the firehouse. He enjoys coaching CrossFit because of the satisfaction gained helping someone improve their mobility through a proper squat or witness them achieve a new personal record. No matter how short term their goals could be, he finds reward in helping others reach them.
Being a Grown Up: In his "grown up" life he works for the Kansas City Fire Department on Truck 15, which he says is the best job in the world. However his true inspiration is his family: "They are the reason I do the best I can every day." When not spending time with his wife and son (and soon-to-be second son in early 2013), Harry finds freedom on two wheels riding his motorcycle.
Hans Treager – Coach/Medical Student
Path to a life of health: Hans played sports throughout his childhood, until he stopped in college and let the Freshman Fifteen (or thirty) get hold of him. Determined to get back to being healthy, he began working out to lose weight. As countless others have discovered with all the typical gym routines, he lost the motivation to train when he didn't see any differences in his physical appearance or strength gains. When a friend mentioned CrossFit, he did some quick research and joined the closest box the next day, and he never looked back. Years later, he can't stand to miss more than a day, and has spread the CrossFit gospel to numerous friends. When Hans isn't doing CrossFit, he's buried in his studies of medicine at KU Med.
All in the Family: Hans' work ethic and desire to improve the lives of those around him is inspired by his family. His parents' determination and hard work brought their family from a roofless home in Peru to a wonderful life in the U.S., by working to accomplish their own academic and professional goals. In addition, he has witnessed his brother overcome many challenges to complete his MBA at a top business school while maintaining a full time job and busy life. His family has lead by example while also providing him the opportunity to pursue medical school. He hopes through his education and coaching CrossFit, he will also be able to positively impact the health of those he serves throughout his career.
Coaching in a Community: Working out and coaching in the unique, supportive community of a CrossFit gym is one of Hans' favorite aspects of this kind of fitness. "When you've been around the box for awhile, you get pretty excited to see others' accomplishments too," he says, and teaching others who finally "get" a movement they've been struggling with is highly rewarding.
He also loves the continuous self-education that goes with coaching in the Sky's Limit CrossFit community. He believes it is important to only teach movements to others that as a coach you have a strong understanding of, and can perform the movement effectively yourself, something that he learned from Owner/Head Coach, Ronnie. This philosophy inspires Hans to continue studying and perfecting his own skills so he can have that much more impact as a coach.
In all his studious seriousness, Hans can actually be quite sarcastic, and when not studying or CrossFitting, he's likely snuggling with his two furry friends, a German Shepherd and Belgian Malinois. If you follow him on Facebook or Instagram, photos of those two will fill your feed.

I was wondering if you guys had a drop-in policy. I have been doing crossfit for three years or so and love to catch work-outs when I am on the road. I was hoping to potentially catch you 7PM tonight or definitely a workout tomorrow.
Ronnie & Jesse, thanks for the outstanding WOD! I am definitely feeling the aftermath of the ringdips- good pain! We'll definitely be back for more. Thanks again for the coaching and motivation.
Semper Fi,
Erik J.
Awesome write up guys, thanks! I need to get a good pic of myself for the bio.

MOUNT PLEASANT Police Chief Harry Sewell wiped away a tear as he spoke at a ceremony Friday marking his retirement after more than 20 years with the department.
I love all of you. Godspeed, he said.
Starting Tuesday, Sewell will become the new deputy senior chaplain at the Coastal Crisis Chaplaincy.
I get paid to talk about Jesus Christ now. Im excited about the new chaplaincy, he said.
Sewell, 52, said he would pray for Jesus and God to protect the town.
Its been a good ride. Thank you all so much, he said.
Fire Chief Herb Williams fought back tears as he bid farewell to Sewell.
This is a really tough time for me. Me and Harry came up through the ranks together, he said.
Maj. Carl Ritchie, a 24-year veteran of the department, will take over as chief on Tuesday. He will oversee about 149 sworn officers and 43 civilian personnel.
Council members joined about 200 town employees gathered in the Town Hall gymnasium to honor Sewell.
We owe you a debt of gratitude and we thank you so much, said Mayor Billy Swails.
Sewell became the towns seventh police chief in 2007. He succeeded Roddy Perry, for whom the town law enforcement center is named. Perry died after a battle with cancer.
Speakers described Sewell as positive, personable, witty and a man of great integrity.
Town staffers said Sewell loved to tell bad jokes. Chief Financial Officer Charlie Potts kidded that at first he worried that the chief was retiring to become a comedian, which drew laughs from the crowd.
Town Administrator Eric DeMoura said Sewell exemplified service to others above self.
This community is better because of Harry, he said.
Council members Linda Page and John Burn hugged Sewell after speaking about their relationship with him. Thomasena Stokes-Marshall, also a council member, described Sewell as a friend and a decent human being who exemplified leadership.
This is bittersweet, Stokes-Marshall said.
Noting Sewells new calling, Councilman Chris Nickels said, Spread the gospel. It is a great commission.
Ritchie became emotional as he recalled when he and Sewell were sergeants working 12-hour shifts. Sewell said he knows the department is in good hands.
Sewell and Ritchie saluted one another as part of the ceremony marking the transition. The outgoing chief pinned the department eagles on Ritchies uniform.
Sewell then left the gymnasium as he walked with family past a line of officers assembled in his honor.

The Mockingbird Foundation is a non-profit organization founded by Phish fans in 1996 to generate charitable proceeds from the Phish community.
And since we're entirely volunteer – with no office, salaries, or paid staff – administrative costs are less than 2% of revenues! So far, we've distributed over $750,000 to support music education for children – 210 grants in 43 states, with more on the way.
