MOBILE, Ala. -- An appreciative audience welcomed Mobile Ballet and its New York guests on Saturday night at "A Gala Evening" at the Mobile Civic Center Theater.
The season-opening gala began with Mobile Ballet dancers performing an interpretation of Bizet's "Carmen." The piece was choreographed by Winthrop Corey, artistic director of Mobile Ballet, who also designed the costumes -- striking gold tops with black skirts, which looked great against the blood-red backdrop. Popular guest artists Ian and Eleanor Carney were the leads. I was especially looking forward to "Carmen," because the music is so stirring and majestic. It was a showpiece for the Mobile Ballet stars.
The rest of the evening belonged to New York. The first-act highlight was George Balanchine's "Apollo," with New York dancers Charles Askegard, Jenifer Ringer, Rebecca Krohn and Georgina Pazcoguin. In simple, white gowns, against a vivid blue background, they portrayed the god of music and his trio of muses.
The dramatic choreography of Balanchine's famous late-1920s work, with intricate, unusual holds and lifts, held the audience spellbound. Askegard was particularly noteworthy for his display of strength and control.
"Apollo" was followed by the Tchaikovsky Pas de Deux to close out the first act; Amar Ramasar was a standout with his impressive leaps. The second act began with "Le Corsaire" Pas de Deux, another lovely, graceful piece.
The mood changed completely with Christopher Wheeldon's "After the Rain" Pas de Deux, an erotically charged work featuring Rebecca Krohn and Sebastien Marcovici (who was a last-minute substitute for the injured Albert Evans). In modern costumes, sans glitter, the pair moved languidly through a series of beautiful bends and lifts.
The finale was the exuberant "Who Cares?," which is Balanchine's tribute to Broadway and features the music of George Gershwin, including "The Man I Love," "Embraceable You" and "Fascinatin' Rhythm." The ballerinas wore flirty fringed skirts, and the men switched to black dress shirts and pants -- and for the non-purist, these costumes are far more flattering to the men than the traditional tights.
Mobile Ballet performs "The Nutcracker" on Dec. 11 and 12. For tickets, call 251-342-2241, or visit www.mobileballet.org.

Color Away
An important part of growing up when you're a kid is to develop your creativity. It's a very important part of a kids mental development and is critical for laying the ground work to have a healthy and successful grown up. I used to love coloring books and coloring pages when I was growing up as a kid. If I couldn't find templates I would just draw my own. One of my best friends would draw all the Disney princesses her mom would take them and make several copies so we could go back and try different colors and clothes.
Color Furby
Furby is all about individuality and creativity so it's no surprise there are a lot of cool choices for coloring books and coloring pages for all of your Furby Friends. Fortunately there are a lot of cool choices for coloring books and coloring pages for all of your Furbies. For example, imagine taking your Furby on a bike ride, what color would your bike be. What color would your Furby be and what color shirt would you have on?
With the launch of Furby Boom, one of the Furbies is Peacock. Well what would happen if Furby met a real live peacock? What colors would that peacock have, you know they have lots of colors so you better make sure you have a lot of crayons or marker.
Coloring Pages
These are just a few samples of some great Furby pages. There are a lot more that you can purchase that let you color within the lines or try out your creativity and design your own Furby templates and scenes. You can then make copies on a copy machine and try out all kinds of Furby color combinations and patterns, perhaps even create a Furby Boom character. You can also create your own Furby scenes, such as on a skateboard or at the beach. Bring out your inner creative genius with Furby!
Future of Furby
What do you think the future of Furby will look like? What will come next after Furby Boom? Check out some of our Furby Future predictions!
Furby Boom Rocks
Have you been thinking about what to get a great gift that you can get for you child? Perhaps for a birthday, holiday or graduation? Or maybe your child is just having a hard time an needs a friend. Furby Boom makes a great affordable gift for your little one and also makes a great pal for when they are feeling lonely or sad. We have heard so many great stories. One of our customers called and was able to find and order a Golden Furbling for her daughter, she knew nothing about Furbies or Furblings but said her daughter wanted the Golden Furbling in the worst way. We found a Golden Furbling for her and shipped it off so she would get it before her 7th birthday. We love making little kids happy and does Furby!

The presidential race may be two years away, but South Carolina's importance is starting to make things bubble up again.
Former U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum told reporters at The Citadel on Monday that he didn't know where to begin in assessing President Barack Obama's job performance.
"This president has messed up so much that it's hard to put your finger on one potential thing," he said before speaking to a local women's group.
Santorum, who finished third in South Carolina's 2012 presidential primary, added that Russia's territorial grab in the Ukraine occurred "because we have shown weakness."
Santorum's visit comes as another party conservative and potential 2016 hopeful is scheduled to be at The Citadel on Tuesday night. Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz will address the Free Enterprise Foundation Awards Dinner at the Holliday Alumni Center on campus.
This will be Cruz's first visit to the state since November, shortly after the 16-day government shutdown that many saw him as having orchestrated.
Santorum said he probably won't decide on another presidential run until next year ahead of what is expected to be a crowded field on the Republican side.
He did say that South Carolina's two GOP Senate primaries are not among the races he will try to influence this year by way of an official endorsement.
"I'm not going to endorse everywhere," said Santorum, a former senator from Pennsylvania. "I'm only going to endorse in a handful of places where I think it's clear to me that we have choices that could risk us losing Senate seats."
In South Carolina this year, incumbent Republican U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham faces six challengers in the June 10 GOP primary, while junior Sen. Tim Scott faces a long-shot GOP primary challenge from Randall Young of Greenville.
Santorum also said that just because two key figures from his presidential run are working for Columbia pastor Det Bowers, who is running against Graham in the June 10 GOP vote, it shouldn't be interpreted as a message of political support.
Former supporters are involved in campaigns "all over the place," Santorum said. "By the end we had a pretty good-sized staff. That doesn't involve tying me to one candidate or another."
Bowers is using Mike Biundo, Santorum's former national campaign manager, and Andrew Boucher, his past political director, in his run against Graham in the primary race.
Biundo offers political services through RightOn Strategies, while Boucher Strategies is a national consulting firm headquartered in Charleston, according to its website.
Santorum also discussed a book he has coming out in the coming weeks called "Blue Collar Conservatives." It's about Republicans needing to expand their reach among the job-holding sectors of the country, as opposed to its previous concentrations on business job-creators, he said.
"We haven't had a very effective message for them," said Santorum, who has two sons currently attending The Citadel.
Local Democrats, meanwhile, pounced on his visit.
"After a disappointing third place finish in 2012, it's surprising to see Rick Santorum crawling back to South Carolina," said Brady Quirk-Garvan, chairman of the Charleston County Democratic Party.
"I'm sure the Charleston County GOP would agree that after getting crushed by Newt Gingrich by a 2-to-1 margin, it's time for Santorum to go back to Pennsylvania and give up on his presidential ambitions."
Reach Schuyler Kropf at 937-5551
Rick Santorum speaks Monday to a meeting of the Charleston County Republican Women at the Citadel.×

I read with heightened interest articles and letters (opinions) regarding the coaching recruitment for the Penn State men's basketball program.
The hiring of Patrick Chambers may very well work out, but I thought candidate search seemed to be restricted and short-sighted.
We needed a big-name, big-time proven coach. Quality high school kids want to go to a program which gives them a realistic shot at a national championship and the NBA.
That's recruiting in a nutshell.
I think such a goal will threaten Joe Paterno's ego and PSU football's status, but I thought that's why we built the Bryce Jordan Center in the first place.
Search for mediocrity and average, and we'll hopefully - at best - get more wins than losses. Find the absolute best coach in the country, and we'll all be excited.
It all depends on where the university sets its goals, and if Dr. Graham Spanier has a real commitment to excellence.
Building student-athlete character and avoiding NCAA cheating can go hand-in-hand with winning. Just ask John Wooden or Joe Paterno.
But I want to watch real basketball.
Ralph Aldinger, Everett
Resentment puzzling
Reading different comments from Pennsylvania people - writers, fans, etc. - regarding Ohio State and the Terrelle Pryor situation, it's obvious once again nothing gives PA people greater delight than to gloat over another program's misfortunes.
My question is why? We're all in same conference. Is it because Ohio State beats PSU 75 percent of the time?
You never read stories of Penn State fans coming to Columbus and being abused, verbally and physically, so I just do not get it.
I have friends from Lewisburg who come to Columbus to the game and remark that they've never been treated better. I've read comments from other schools' fans who say they will never return to Beaver Stadium again because of the rude, crude fans, not to mention incidents of visiting bands being tormented.
I'm not defending Jim Tressel because I've never been a fan of his, but to kick your heels and gloat and be so happy because of someone else's troubles, I don't get it.

- Paper rose
- Place die-cut cupcake holder in Textured Impressions folder and run through Big Shot.
- Cut bodice from two segments of the cupcake, top skirt from three segments and bottom skirt from three segments as seen in photo. (You may have to trim a little bit from both sides of the skirt so everything lines up right.)
- Place a little double-sided tape in between bodice and top skirt. Add vintage lace to hem of skirt and a sash around the waist. Layer underskirt below top skirt and secure with more tape. Add a small paper rose to the side of the lace belt.
- The frame had been purchased recently at a discount store, but I already knew I was going to paint it. It was too dark, and the embossed areas didn't stand out enough. I took some cream paint and dry brushed all around the frame and embossed mat.
- In one of my thrift shop adventures a while ago, I had found a cool old book titled "Vogue's Book of Etiquette" from 1948, which goes into some detail on any possible event and how to dress for it. I tore out an appropriate page and placed that behind the dress.
- Then I matted the dress on a piece of mat board for contrast, added some foamboard on the back to give it dimension and adhered that to the backing.

Former Eagles lineman Jon Runyan won reelection Tuesday in his race against the widow of his Democratic predecessor in South Jersey's Third Congressional District.
The Republican, 38, who captured his first term with tea party support, overpowered Shelley Adler, 53.
In South Jersey's two other House races, Reps. Rob Andrews, a Democrat, and Frank LoBiondo, a Republican, easily won new terms. Andrews has represented the First District for 22 years; LoBiondo has represented the sprawling Second District for 17 years.
The Runyan-Adler contest was one of the most expensive and intense House races in the state. The candidates and their supporters spent more than $2 million - $1.4 million by Runyan and $864,000 by Adler, as of the latest federal filings - much of it on negative advertising.

PHILADELPHIA Former President Bill Clinton delivered a rousing speech Thursday to promote Marjorie Margolies' congressional campaign, assuring the audience that "I would be here even if her son weren't my son-in-law."
In a 25-minute stump speech at the Radisson Blu Warwick Hotel in Center City, Clinton praised Margolies not only for casting the deciding vote on his spending plan during her stint in Congress, but also for her work on gun control, student loans, and women's issues at home and abroad.
Clinton rejected critics' assertions that Margolies' only qualification is a vote from 1993.
"What she did 20 years ago is an ironclad assurance of what she'll do if you elect her to Congress," Clinton said, using the Margolies campaign buzzword, courage.

Greenbone OS Architecture
Greenbone uses, extends and improves the Open Vulnerability Assessment System (OpenVAS) as a base technology of the Greenbone Security Solutions.
The internal architecture follows the approach of task-oriented components. In other words, instead of an all-in-one-tool, each task is designed as a service. For example, the OpenVAS Manager is a client of the OpenVAS Scanner service. At the same time the OpenVAS Manager is a service for the Greenbone Security Assistant.
- Small, focussed components can be implemented and operated transparently and securely. Each components uses only the system privileges that it needs to operate properly.
- Each of the service components offers a well-defined communication protocol.

Our View: You're invited to tour Erie County Prison
Erie citizens are invited to learn about the services provided by Erie County government and to tour the Erie County Prison. This is an invitation that many residents should accept.
The event is the Erie County Directors Fair and Open House on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the lobby of the Erie County Prison, 1618 Ash St. Erie's event is part of National County Government Month.
In addition to Erie County Executive Kathy Dahlkemper, those on hand will include the directors of the following county offices and departments: administration, corrections, public health, human services, information technology, human resources, public safety, planning, finance, the Office of the Public Defender and the Erie County Public Library.
The Erie County Department of Corrections will conduct tours of the prison, but children under 5 are not permitted on the tour, and no strollers or diapers will be permitted inside the building, according to a news release from Dahlkemper's office.
Most citizens don't know -- and likely don't care -- that April is National County Government Month. Nevertheless, Saturday's open house is an innovative way for Erie County residents to get an up-close view of where their tax dollars go. Citizens might also discover that some services they assume are the county's responsibility are actually provided by a municipality.
Dahlkemper made a wise decision to set the fair and open house at the prison, which opened in 1995. Many Erie County residents have never set foot in the prison or even visited the Ash Street neighborhood, unless they volunteered for Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest Pennsylvania. The Food Bank's warehouse was located at 1703 Ash St., east of the prison, until it moved to 1507 Grimm Drive, on Erie's west side, in April 2008.
Disgruntled taxpayers think that government budgets include frills and wasteful spending, but in Erie County's $93 million general fund budget, nearly $26 million goes toward corrections, including 66 percent of that amount for prison operations. The remainder of the corrections budget is for adult probation (20 percent) and juvenile probation (13 percent).
In his 2014 budget, Barry Grossman, Dahlkemper's predecessor, asked for 19 new corrections officers for the prison, after an independent review found that the prison was understaffed by 42 positions. Grossman said the prison needed more corrections officers and needed to reclassify some positions from union to management so experienced managers would be on duty for all shifts and to create a safer environment for employees and inmates. "This is especially important as the number of mentally ill inmates has dramatically increased," Grossman wrote in an Oct. 1 letter to County Council.
County Council approved 16 new corrections officers for 2014.
You can review the 2014 county government budget at www.eriecountygov.org. Then you can see how it plays out in real life at the Saturday open house and tour.

Hosiea Ransom doesn't like to cuss.
That's one of the few things that distinguishes the Saginaw counselor from actor Samuel L. Jackson. The similarities between the two men are striking enough to propel Ransom into the TV Guide Network's "I'm a Celebrity Look-A-Like" contest.
"I'm surprised how many people want me to cuss when they meet me, like Samuel Jackson did in 'Snakes on a Plane,'" said Ransom, 49, remembering his many encounters with incredulous onlookers.
"Then they wonder if we've ever met -- we haven't -- and what it will be like when we do."
His chance to rub shoulders with his twin might come soon if enough people head to tvguide.com between Monday and Thursday, July 9, and vote for Ransom. The prize is an appearance on its series "Look-A-Like" and a meeting with the celebrity the winners resemble.
In the meantime, Ransom is nurturing his goatee and enjoying his pseudo-celebrity status.
"It started when the movie 'Shaft' came out (in 2000), and my friends tricked me into going with them to Cinema Hollywood," Ransom said. "I didn't realize a radio station was holding a Shaft look-alike contest, and when the DJ announced the beginning of the contest, everyone just stood up and pointed at me.
"He walked over, said 'Contest over,' and gave me $100."
Since then, Ransom has signed hundreds of autographs, posed for as many pictures and resisted the temptation to enjoy the perks that come with Jackson's fame.
"Friends tell me, 'We can get free limos. We can get free suites,' and I tell them, 'Are you crazy? Do you know the consequences?' " he said. "I always tell people who I am, and I sign my own name, and they still send free drinks and sometimes even pay for dinner. They treat me with respect, even when they know I'm not him.
"I'm not going to go around impersonating someone and get myself arrested. I can't walk in Samuel Jackson's footsteps; he's got big shoes to fill."
Ransom does like to tell how, when visiting Universal Studios in Florida, guards opened a private gate for him, welcoming him with a "Good evening, Mr. Jackson."
Last August, a group of tourists from China wanted their pictures taken with him in Las Vegas as he was working his way to the casino's bathrooms.
"This guy looked up and shouted 'Hey, it's (expletive) Samuel L. Jackson,'" he said. "People were leaving their chips and money behind on the tables to run over to me, and I was dancing in place, trying to hold everything in. Security finally came to walk me through the crowd."
And at a recent graduation in Mississippi, a near-riot broke out when Ransom stood outside, near a limo that someone else had brought to the event.
The similarities haven't escaped the entertainment world's notice, either.
In 2002, Ransom won a two-year contract with the Wilhelmina Studios in Detroit for session work as a Jackson look-alike. In 2004, he was supposed to meet Jackson in Canada, but at the last minute, Jackson was called to play a benefit golf game with Tiger Woods.
"When we do face each other for the first time, we'll probably both be speechless," Ransom predicted. "And if I can find my voice, I'll tell him how much I admire him, and what an honor it is to finally meet him."
Then he'll go back to his world, working every day with the young inmates at the Wolverine Secure Treatment Center in Buena Vista Township and, with his wife, raising his family of five daughters and a son.
"They love all of this," Ransom said of his family. "They're all geeked up; they want to see us meet. These contests are usually a breeze. We'll have to see what happens this time around."

The deal now must be approved by DFFA rank-and-file.
"This tentative agreement achieved necessary cost-savings through staffing and operational improvements without compromising public safety," said Mayor Dave Bing in a written statement. "In addition to this tentative agreement, I am especially pleased with the union's efforts in resolving long-standing arbitration issues."
The agreement is part of Bing's effort to restructure the city's labor agreements in the hopes of avoiding the appointment of an emergency manager.
"The DFFA will do everything in its power to help the Detroit Fire Department meet its mission and to see that Detroit maintains control of its future," said DFFA Local 334 President Dan McNamara.
Terms of the deal were not released. The city had previously reached agreement with the Detroit Police Officers Association and unions for non-uniformed employees.

|"Roadhouse Blues"
|Single by The Doors
|from the album Morrison Hotel
|"You Make Me Real"
|"Roadhouse Blues"
|February 1970
|November 4–5, 1969
|Blues rock, boogie rock, hard rock
|Jim Morrison, music by The Doors
|Paul A. Rothchild
|The Doors singles chronology
"Roadhouse Blues" is a rock song written by Jim Morrison and recorded by the American rock band The Doors. The song, which appeared on the B-side of "You Make Me Real",[1] was first released as a single from the album Morrison Hotel in March 1970 and peaked at #50 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.[2] The song quickly became a concert staple for the group, a live version appearing later on the posthumous album An American Prayer and that same version again on In Concert and Greatest Hits. During this version, Jim Morrison talks for a short while to a female audience member about his Zodiac sign and, with a sudden, ironic twist that causes the audience to erupt in laughter, denounces his beliefs in it. The song was also featured twice in the movie The Doors; the studio version in the film, and the aforementioned live version over the end credits.
Alice Cooper claimed he was the inspiration for the line "Woke up this morning and I got myself a beer", as stated on his Planet Rock morning show. According to the book, Light My Fire by Ray Manzarek, a bandmate of Morrison's, the song refers to Morrison's waking after an alleged three weeks of drug-induced sleep and the actual lyric sung is "woke up this morning and I got myself a beard".
It took two days to record the song (November 4–5, 1969) with producer Paul A. Rothchild striving for perfection. Several takes from these sessions were included on the new 2006 remastered album. Surprisingly, he does not comment on Morrison, who is apparently intoxicated, "going into full blues singer mode"[3] in the words of engineer Bruce Botnick, improvising and simultaneously flubbing several lyrics and repeating the blues phrase "Money beats soul every time". The phrase can be found on the When You're Strange: Music from the Motion Picture soundtrack, with the next track being a live version of "Roadhouse Blues".
The sessions only took off on the second day, when resident Elektra guitarist Lonnie Mack joined in on bass and ex-Lovin' Spoonful frontman John Sebastian contributing harmonica (appearing under the pseudonym G. Puglese either out of loyalty to his recording contract[4] or to avoid affiliation with The Doors after the infamous Miami controversy) joined in on the sessions and Manzarek switched from his Wurlitzer electric piano to a tack piano (the same used on The Beach Boys "Good Vibrations").[5] A studio version of the song with John Lee Hooker sharing vocals with Jim can be found on the Stoned Immaculate: The Music of The Doors album.
A recent misconception states that Lonnie Mack contributed the guitar solo on the track in addition to bass guitar. Mack himself stated that he had "played bass". [6] In actuality, guitarist Robbie Krieger is responsible for all guitar parts on "Roadhouse Blues" and Mack's contribution is limited to bass guitar, as always officially stated; Jim Morrison shouts "Do it, Robby, do it!" (especially audible on the official audio proof of DVD-Audio and SuperAudioCD where the single vocal track can be separated from other instruments) at the start of the guitar solo. The solo on record is representative of Krieger's fingerstyle playing and is identical to all his Roadhouse Blues solos played in the previous sessions the day before on 5th November 1969. Subsequent interviews with members of The Doors and Paul A. Rothchild confirm this.
The complete song was fully composed and rehearsed before Lonnie Mack was invited to play bass on "Roadhouse Blues" and "Maggie M'Gill" (Ray Neapolitan, regular bass player during Morrison Hotel sessions, couldn't arrive on time that day due to a traffic jam). Drummer John Densmore and guitarist Robbie Krieger provided additional details about the Roadhouse Blues sessions which are quoted here:
Lonnie sat down in front of the paisley baffles that soak up the sound. A hefty guy with a pencil-thin beard, he had on a wide-brimmed hat that had become his trademark. Lonnie Mack epitomized the blues---not the rural blues, but the city blues; he was bad. "I'll sing the lyrics for you", Jim [Morrison] offered meekly. [Morrison] was unusually shy. We all were, because to us, the guitar player we had asked to sit in with us was a living legend.— John Densmore, Riders On The Storm, Dell, 1990, p. 235
- Bob Cianci: Lonnie Mack played bass on that track, didn't he? How did that come together?
- Robby Krieger: Lonnie had quit the music business and was actually working for Elektra Records doing something. I know he sold Bibles for a while too. He was around the studio when we were getting ready to record "Roadhouse Blues," so we asked him to play bass. He did a great job, and got back into music after that.
- Bob Cianci: The Doors always used bass players in the studio, didn't they?- Robby Krieger: Yes. Ray and I used to write the bass parts. On the first album, we used Larry Knechtel, the session guy. He passed away recently. On the second and third albums, we used Doug Lubahn from the band Clear Light. On the fourth, Harvey Brooks played bass, and we used Ray Neapolitan (on Morrison Hotel) and Jerry Scheff (on L.A. Woman) on the fifth and sixth albums. Jerry is probably best known for having played in Elvis's band for years.— Robbie Krieger, The Doors' Distinctive Fret Master, Interview by Bob Cianci, February 11, 2010, for Premiere Guitar magazine
Cover versions[edit]
Status Quo discovered The Doors' version whilst touring Germany in 1970, and it quickly became an integral part of the band's setlist, fitting their change in musical direction. Their arrangement added an additional verse and featured slightly different lyrics. A studio version appeared on the album Piledriver, while a live version appeared on the album Live!. The band still perform the song, though it has not been part of their regular set for a number of years.
Blue Öyster Cult performed the song on their Extraterrestrial Live album, with Robby Krieger joining the band. Creed played the song at Woodstock '99 and were joined on stage by Doors guitarist Robby Krieger. This version of the song was released on a bonus version of the Creed album Human Clay. The song was also covered by Mahogany Rush on the What's Next album. Ministry performed a cover on their final album, The Last Sucker. The Jeff Healey Band performs the song in the movie Road House. Frankie Goes To Hollywood cover it on the b-side of their 1986 single "Rage Hard". Elkie Brooks covered the song on her 2005 album Electric Lady. Robby Krieger joined Stone Temple Pilots at the House of Blues in 2000 for a performance of this song. He again joined STP onstage on March 18, 2010 to play the song as the encore for STP's performance at the SXSW music festival at the Austin Music Hall. STP frontman Scott Weiland also performed live covers of it with Velvet Revolver.
The Swedish post-punk band Imperiet picked up the song in the mid-eighties, including it on their 1985 live album 2:a augusti 1985.
The song was played by the surviving Doors and Eddie Vedder at The Doors' Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction in 1993. In addition, a bootleg recording of this song performed by Vedder and others surfaced in 2001.
The jam-bluegrass group Railroad Earth covered the song twice during the summer of 2008, once at High Sierra Music Festival in Quincy, California, and again at Yarmony Grass in Copper Mountain, Colorado. The latter performance featured over 20 musicians on stage, including most of the members of the jam band The String Cheese Incident. They also covered the song in December 2009 at the Crystal Ballroom in Portland, Oregon, and in May 2010 at Lupo's Heartbreak Hotel in Providence, Rhode Island.
It was in the stage repertoire of Eric Burdon from 1989 to 1998. He performed it also with Robby Krieger in 1990 and 1991. A live version he recorded with the Brian Auger band was released on "Access All Areas" in 1993. Live versions he recorded with his "I band" were released on Official Live Bootleg#1 and with his "New Animals" on the DVD Live at the Coachhouse.
Los Lonely Boys perform this song on their 2009 tribute EP entitled 1969. Guitarist Henry Garza's use of the wah-wah pedal marks the most distinguishing feature of the band's cover version. Finnish rock band Eppu Normaali has covered the song on their 1980 live album Elävänä Euroopassa.
On Nas' "Got Ur Self a" (song), in the style of Roadhouse Blues, he and the backup singers sing, "woke up this morning and got yourself a gun."
The Crystal Method did a remix of "Roadhouse Blues". It can be found on their albums Community Service II and Drive: Nike + Original Run. It was featured also in the short-lived TV show Drive. In 2010, it was used as the promotional song for the third season of FX's Sons of Anarchy.

Pinconning Area Schools saw an opportunity to reach more voters and save $6,400 a year.
School board members there took a leap that no other Bay County public district has dared. They moved their school elections from May to the General Election in November on even years.
Pinconning embraced what school trustees in other districts see as a disadvantage - the best-known election day with the largest number of voters. At little or no charge to Pinconning, because Bay County participates in statewide and national elections every even-year November.
Beginning in 2005, the Michigan Legislature set only four dates for all elections each year. Schools were required to switch to November elections, unless they specifically voted to keep a spring date, in May. Most stayed with spring.
Bay City Schools and Bangor Township Schools recently toyed with the idea of switching their elections to November, but made no change.
Beyond the money saved, many more voters would see a school ballot in those districts. The more people who vote, the more accurately the will of the majority is reflected.
Isn't that what an election is all about?
Congratulations, Pinconning, for making the right decision.
The rest of Bay County's schools should follow that leader.

Album Review
BGO's issuing of
Johnny Rivers
' two forgotten recordings,
L.A. Reggae
Blue Suede Shoes
offer listeners an opportunity to reacquaint themselves with one of rock & roll's most seminal performers and singers. It also concludes their fine series of two-fer reissues of his work.
L.A. Reggae
, released in 1972, scored
a hit in his version of
Huey "Piano" Smith
's "Rockin' Pneumonia and the Boogie Woogie Flu." And it also contained fine versions of tracks like
Paul Simon
's "Mother and Child Reunion," and
J.J. Cale
's "Crazy Mama." There are also some excellent originals on the set such as "On the Borderline," "Stories to a Child," and "Use the Power."
Blue Suede Shoes
is a rock & roll revival album that's spins out rock & roll nuggets without a hint of nostalgia. In fact,
is so passionate in his delivery, and so skilled at working with the crack studio musicians he employs on both of these records, nothing seems overblown, overproduced or sterile. There is real fire in both of these albums and those coming to
for the first time should really check them out.

Professor Layton Review
It's not an epic adventure, like Phantom Hourglass, or polished platformer, like New Super Mario Bros., but in many ways Professor Layton is better than both those games.
"What's that game?" my better half asked, staring wide-eyed at the television. I turned, expecting to see Girls Aloud's Nadine and Kimberley seductively 'awwing' over Nintendogs, or Ronan Keating looking uncomfortable playing Brain Training, or the Redknapp family, complete with hilariously bemused Harry, playing Mario Kart Wii, or perhaps even Captain Picard flirting with Julie Walters as he demonstrates his mental prowess on a plane. It was neither.
It was, to my surprise, an advert with an impossibly attractive and successful couple sitting on a couch in their impossibly trendy apartment living room, probably somewhere in Clapham, who are trying to separate a bunch of pigs with only three lines in Japanese developer Level-5's Professor Layton and the Curious Village. "That looks good," she said. "Can you bring that home?"
I've always appreciated Nintendo's TV spots for their effectiveness, but, on the whole, found them more hilarious than anything else. I'd even go as far to say that in some cases they're even cringe worthy - the Mario Kart Wii one with the girl who has hair hanging in front of her face from only one side, and the new Wii Music one spring to mind. Not for one moment did I believe that I, or my life, would be influenced, and mimicked, by one of them.
Given that the game was one of many piling up on my Christmas 'to do' list, I thought, what the hell, I have to review it anyway, I'll bring it home and let her play it for a bit. She'll get bored after five minutes and start watching early evening E4 again. I handed the game and my DS to the misses and told her to go ahead as I booted up the 360 and played some CoD. Two-and-a-half hours later and bored, I turned off the supposed next-gen console and cast a glance at the missus. There she was, face creased in concentration, the wonderfully aloof soundtrack keeping her company.
"I can't do this one, come help." So I did. An hour later a flash of realisation came over me. I was in that advert. I was the impossibly attractive bloke, sitting on a couch with my impossibly attractive girlfriend in an impossibly trendy apartment (somewhere in Clapham), playing Professor Layton and the Curious Village just like the Nintendo TV advert wanted me to do (the impossibly attractive and impossibly trendy apartment somewhere in Clapham bit may or may not be true). All that cynicism evaporated. As we laughed and joked and tossed and turned over the incredibly rewarding puzzles, enjoyed the Studio Ghibli-esque art design and the lovely, entrancing story, I realised that Level-5's point and click adventure/puzzler might just be one of the greatest games ever made.
For what it is, of course, which is hard to describe, since it's a mishmash of a hell of a lot of different genres, held together expertly by a clever story. The game begins as if it's a point and click adventure, with the silk top hat-wearing Professor Layton and his young assistant Luke arriving in the brilliantly named village St. Mystere. The beautiful Lady Dahlia, widow of the late Baron Reinhold, has requested their assistance: The Baron's will says that whoever finds the Golden Apple, hidden somewhere in the village, will inherit his estate. But before they can start talking a loud noise startles Lady Dahlia's cat, Claudia (Satan's spawn, trust me), who runs off. Luke and the Professor then set out to find and return the blasted feline, unravelling the mystery behind the Curious Village and Baron Reinhold's inheritance along the way.
Those looking for a gritty, adult story with aggressive dialogue won't find it here. Level-5's tale is lovingly constructed and brilliantly localised, with moments of genuine hilarity, bouts of despair and more than its fair share of shocking plot twists. The people of the village are interesting, have tales to tell, secrets to keep and puzzles to give. The Professor himself is overly cheery, and Luke a tad too enthusiastic, but, as the girlfriend says, "but I like that!". It's a bit like an Inspector Poirot murder mystery spliced with Tintin, except with Professor Layton as the portly Belgian and Luke as that weird Captain Hastings bloke.

After work yesterday I went to the gym and rode the stationary bike for 45 min! I really didn't think I would go the whole time...but I did!
Utilized fit day.com to input what I ate...now I plan to use it all the time...amazing little tool! I can tweak things now!
Important to note...after my ride, I came home, ate my dinner of Primal Texas Chili (thanks MDA!) and promptly fell asleep by 8 pm...still in my workout clothes! I think I need to work on my sleep...
Off to work fellow Grok's!

Victorian Rose Scarf is a quick scarf project that can be knit in any type of yarn. It would look wonderful in a cotton or lace weight as well. The lacey pattern gives the scarf a terrific drape and makes it terrific to use as an accessory item in the warmer seasons.
Directions are given for 2 portions of the scarf and then sewn together. However, if you are more advanced and wish to a provisional cast on may be use to achieve the same look without the seam. The scarf may be knit short for a cowl appearance or long for a regular scarf look depending on your preference and yarn.
The instructions are for the odd rows only on the even rows knit or purl as they appear. The yarn overs will be purled.
Materials Needed:
Size 9 (5.5mm) straight knitting needles
2 balls of Knit Picks Wool of the Andes (100% wool, 110 yards)
Darning needle
Button or cowl closure (optional
