Name: Douglas Detrick
Instrument: trumpet, composer; arts consultant.
Early Years/Education: I grew up in West Linn, Oregon, and went to Athey Creek Middle School, which had a jazz ensemble. I picked up the trumpet in the sixth grade. I picked the trumpet because I think I wanted to be heard.I joined the middle school jazz band and played all the way through high school. I learned music in school, mostly jazz and wind ensemble music. There's a strong big band tradition still in that school. When you're that young, playing a brass instrument is a huge challenge. There's no "Suzuki Method" for jazz. It's kind of a "wild west" of how things are taught. All the people I've studied with do it differently, there's no standard, it depends on the teacher. Locally, I've studied with Paul Mazzio, Sally Kuhns (of the Oregon Symphony) and Rich Cooper.
West Linn High School band director Jeff Cumston was influential in me becoming a musician. My mother also had an influence. She was very active in the parentrun arts support group in West Linn. When it came time for college, I decided to do music. I'm not a full time musician now, I work for a web development company, but all the skills I use in that job I learned by being a musician. I write, do support and sales; it's about communicating. I learned to write by blogging about music and writing grant applications and press releases.
After high school, I went to Lawrence University in Appleton, Wisconsin. They gave me a scholarship. I went there partly because the jazz director recruited me. I met him when I was in the All Northwest Jazz Band in high school. When I went to visit Lawrence, it turned out to be the best visit I'd done. The trumpet teacher, Fred Sturm, made time to see me.
Went to the University of Oregon for graduate school [when] they offered me a teaching scholarship. I got my masters there in 2008. For my masters thesis recital, I formed an improvising chamber group called the AnyWhen Ensemble. I've always been interested in the intersection of jazz and chamber music. The group's instrumentation is trumpet, sax, bassoon, cello and drum set. This was … to force us to do things differently. We start out of the box. We play jazz for the most part, [but] we do have one set of music that deals with folk music as a foundation.
After graduation I stayed in Eugene and ran a big band there for a couple of years, The Detrick-Swigart Jazz Orchestra with David Swigart. We changed the name to the Eugene Jazz Composers Orchestra. We played once a month at Cosmic Pizza.
Portland Jazz Composers Ensemble: I'm the new executive director of the PJCE. Andrew Oliver (who started the organization and now resides in London) asked me to apply, and the board picked me in December 2013. We now have a CPA on our board who is doing our bookkeeping. Charlie Gray from Portland State University is also on the board. The connection to the university is strong. We rehearse there, hold our board meetings there, we're really fortunate to have that.
We are doing a jazz festival in August called the Montavilla Jazz Festival. This event would not be happening if it wasn't for the work of Ryan Meagher. He's had great help from the Montavilla Neighborhood Association, they are the ones who are actually presenting it, it was their idea. You can find out more about this at the website montavillajazzfestival.com. The director of the PJCE Records label is Lee Elderton. I think the idea of what a record label is these days is wide open. [Currently,] we're scaling back the number of PJCE releases [from one a month], but doing more for the artists.
New York: I lived in New York from 2010 to 2013 and got to play at The Stone, The Jazz Gallery, etc. I had a good run there. I did consulting, writing, wrote jazz reviews, gave workshops for artists on how to write effectively about their music for their websites, and gave workshops on grant writing. I wrote grants for Dave Douglas and worked on his "Festival of New Trumpet Music." I also got to perform in his festival. I returned to Portland when I had a son.
Musical Influences: Miles Davis, Gil Evans, Duke Ellington, Benjamin Britten, Igor Stravinsky, Roscoe Holcombe, Wayne Horvitz, Sam Amidon, Kenny Wheeler, and Joanne Metcalf, my composition teacher.
Most Satisfying Experience: My group AnyWhen Ensemble is going into it's seventh season together with all the same people. We have a great time together, everyone is really committed to the group. As a composer, I feel really lucky to have that level of commitment to the playing of my music. We had great things happen to us, like playing at The Jazz Gallery and the New Trumpet Music Festival, and coming up, we're playing at the Phillips Collection — an art gallery in D.C.
How we work together as a group is special. We're blending techniques, in terms of how we actually get through the music. Jazz musicians work in a set form and anything can happen inside that form; classical musicians don't do that. They start at the beginning and they follow it all the way to the end, so we kind of bring those two together. We'll have parts that are flexible inside of a longer set piece. We talk like chamber musicians and we talk like jazz musicians to each other. My playing in this group is more like jazz trumpet playing, very personal, but the sound is influenced by classical players as well.
Favorite Recordings: Miles Davis/Gil Evans - "Sketches of Spain"; Trygve Seim – "Sangham"; Arve Henriksen – "Chiaroscuro"; Ron Miles Trio – "Quiver"; Nick Drake - "Pink Moon"; Roscoe Holcombe - "The High Lonesome Sound"; Duke Ellington – "Such Sweet Thunder"; Wayne Horvitz - "Whispers, Hymns, and a Murmur"; Dillard Chandler and others - "Dark Holler": Old Love Songs and Ballads"; Sam Amidon - "The Bright Sunny South."
Discography: Douglas Detrick Quintet - "The Turning Point" (2008 - 8Bells Records); Douglas Detrick's AnyWhen Ensemble - "Walking Across" (2009 - 8Bells Records); Douglas Detrick's AnyWhen Ensemble - "Rivers Music" (2011 - Origin Classical); Operation Northwoods - "The Bureau of Fiction" (2013 - PJCE Records); Douglas Detrick's AnyWhen Ensemble - "The Bright and Rushing World" (2014 - Parma Recordings); Douglas Detrick's AnyWhen Ensemble - "Awake, Awake!"

Gigs: PJCE: Fall Concert with Taylor Ho Bynum and Holcombe Waller, September 7 & September 9, location TBA; Any- When Ensemble, October 11, Ripon College, WI; w/Dal Niente, October 12, Constellation Chicago, Chicago, IL; AnyWhen Ensemble: Lebanon Valley College Residency.
Future Plans: I'd like to expand my project, "Ishmael and the Whale." This is done with a narrator. The text is about responding to a chapter in Moby Dick. I read it for the first time last year and started tweeting about it like it was happening now, like a current event. I did this just for fun, but it turned out to be a constructive way of engaging with that book. The piece was responding to the chapter in the book when Ishmael had not left for sea yet and he is in a chapel and hears for he first time the story of "Jonah and the Whale." I got it commissioned by a group who funds pieces that respond to the bible. Eventually, I'd like to make it a podcast, like a radio show with original music and original text with other writers contributing.
Other: PJCE is about creating opportunity for the musicians of Portland. We want to enhance the scene, and paying our people is an important goal.

MD§¶; Stevenson, David K. MD§§; Higgins, Rosemary D. MD***; on behalf of the NICHD Neonatal Research Network
Background: The heptavalent pneumococcal CRM197 conjugate vaccine (PCV-7) has been incompletely studied in very-low-birth-weight (≤1500 g) infants.
Objective: To assess PCV-7 immunogenicity in very-low-birth-weight, premature infants. We hypothesized that the frequency of postvaccine antibody concentrations ≥0.15 μg/mL would vary directly with birth weight.
Methods: This was a multicenter observational study. Infants 401 to 1500 g birth weight and <32 0/7 weeks gestation, stratified by birth weight, were enrolled from 9 National Institute of Child Health and Human Development Neonatal Research Network centers. Infants received PCV-7 at 2, 4, and 6 months after birth and had blood drawn 4 to 6 weeks following the third dose. Antibodies against the 7 vaccine serotypes were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
Results: Of 369 enrolled infants, 244 completed their primary vaccine series by 8 months and had serum obtained. Subjects were 27.8 ± 2.2 (mean ± standard deviation) weeks gestation and 1008 ± 282 g birth weight. Twenty-six percent had bronchopulmonary dysplasia and 16% had received postnatal glucocorticoids. Infants 1001 to 1500 g birth weight were more likely than those 401 to 1000 g to achieve antibody concentrations ≥0.15 μg/mL against the least 2 immunogenic serotypes (6B: 96% vs. 85%, P = 0.003 and 23F: 97% vs. 88%, P = 0.009). In multiple logistic regression analysis, lower birth weight, postnatal glucocorticoid use, lower weight at blood draw, and Caucasian race were each independently associated with antibody concentrations <0.35 μg/mL against serotypes 6B and/or 23F.
Conclusions: When compared with larger premature infants, infants weighing ≤1000 g at birth have similar antibody responses to most, but not all, PCV-7 vaccine serotypes.

Coach Alan Gibson and his youthful Roosevelt baseball team have seemingly done their best to make this a successful summer, even if success didn't equate to a flashy win-loss record.
"Baby steps" may be the key term in describing the Rough Riders' approach.
With a slew of young, inexperienced players on its roster, Roosevelt (4-29) has struggled to accumulate wins. What they've lacked in wins, they've made up for by gaining valuable on-field experienced that could pay dividends down the road.
"We've been playing a lot better baseball toward the end (of the summer); we've been really competitive," said Gibson, whose team had eight seniors this past spring. "There have been a lot of good things that have happened, and we've had some individuals who have really grown by leaps and bounds. And, I think this team has, too."
The Rough Riders went 0-3, including a pair of one-run losses, in the Northern Colorado Baseball League district tournament this past weekend in Eaton.
They were much more competitive after opening the tournament with an 11-1 mercy rule loss to Eaton, a program that Roosevelt has had many memorable battles with in the past.
Even with the Reds securing the lopsided win, Eaton coach Jim Danley said he walked away impressed with the Rough Riders' approach to the game.
Roosevelt led 1-0 for the first 2 1/2 innings before the Reds took over.
Danley suggested that the primarily element separating his squad from that of Gibson is the intangible belief and ability to win games that comes only from spending more time on the field, developing chemistry among one another and turning raw talent into refined skill.
"Boy, Alan did all the right things," Danley said. "He took a bunch of young kids, and for three or four innings, they played about as well as anybody has against us all year. So, my hat is off to him and his program, because (Gibson) does a fine job."
On a team as young as Roosevelt, senior leadership can be invaluable.
Andrew Dimmitt will be one of a handful of seniors for the Rough Riders when they step back on the field this spring.
This summer, he was unquestionably one of the team's leaders. Batting cleanup on Saturday, he had all four of Roosevelt's RBI in losses to Eaton and Niwot.
As much as the youngsters are learning on the fly, Dimmitt said this summer has provided just as important of a learning experience for him, as he steps into new shoes as one of the team's veterans.
"I feel like I've stepped up a lot this year," Dimmitt said. "I started out my freshman year on the D-team. Coming up here (to varsity), I feel like I've done pretty well."

my xbox one has been working well for the past two weeks and now all of a sudden my xbox one will sign me in but not into xbox live and there are just the spinning circle loading symbol where the store is. when ever i select something from the home screen it does not do anything. and when it does load it just shows the logo/loading screen image then goes back to xbox home. not even the settings will work!!!
same problem here.
Just do a hard power off, touch the power button on the console for 5 seconds. Worked for me
I have the same issue. Hard reset worked for me.
This just happened to me. First the voice commands stopped working, so I thought whatever and turned on Netflix with my controller. After I watched a show I tried going to a game but it do what the OP said. Then I said what the heck, maybe I should see what's wrong with the kinect voice commands and went to settings, etc. and it froze. I turned off the Xbox and then unplugged the brick. Is that bad?
Same problem, did a hard reset (hold the power button until it completely shuts off). Came back on, worked. I was worried for a minute!

Amanda Grieco, a 13-year-old from Millington, says she is "not intimidated by anyone" as the only girl playing travel baseball in her league and district.
Girls on the baseball diamond are rare, but Grieco plays third base and shortstop, and is the closer; her nickname is "Little Mo," after Mariano Rivera. NJ.com users are impressed with Grieco, and some are calling her an inspiration.
NJ.com user greggiekay writes:
Forget being an inspiration to girls, Amanda should serve as an example to everyone to stick with what you love and follow your dreams.
And NJ.com user mrsmass comments:
Good for her. My sister & I were the only girls playing baseball in a little league back in the 80s. I was a pitcher and she was the catcher. Once we got to 8th grade, the league made us switch to softball and we were both pretty (ticked) about it.
Join the discussion and wish Grieco luck in the comments section of the Star-Ledger story.

No outraged Chinese governor could stop the Emperor from building the Great Wall. Nor did a Roman senator thwart the Appian Way, nor a Russian prince prevent the Trans-Siberian Railroad. But today one of the nation's mightiest public works projects, the $2.7 billion, 1,490-mile Northern Tier Pipeline designed to carry Alaskan crude oil from Puget Sound to Midwestern refineries, is being blocked by a single man, Gov. John Spellman of Washington, who refuses to issue the required permit. "There's no reason for us to spoil the state, and the people don't want it spoiled," explains Spellman. "The project is no darn good."
Until now the pipeline seemed unstoppable. First proposed in 1976, it has received the necessary permits from four states (Idaho, Montana, South Dakota and Minnesota), the Coast Guard, the Army Corps of Engineers and the Environmental Protection Agency. Both the Carter and Reagan Administrations endorsed it as essential to the nation's defense. (Alaskan oil bound for the Midwest otherwise has to be shipped through the Panama Canal.) Yet Spellman, a 55-year-old first-term Republican, has rebuffed appeals from his own party (he called his foes in the state legislature "troglodytes") and from labor leaders: Proponents estimate that the pipeline would create hundreds of construction jobs in a state where the unemployment rate is more than 13 percent.
Spellman has refused even to read letters addressed to him by Secretary of Energy James Edwards—who later said he was "deeply disappointed"—and Commerce Secretary Malcolm Baldrige. Nor would he meet with Secretary of State Alexander Haig, Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger or Interior Secretary James Watt. "I think it was inappropriate and I think it was heavy-handed, but I didn't let that influence me," he says of their lobbying campaign. "The actions of the federal government are unprecedented. I know of no other instance where they have attempted to influence a state matter to this degree." Had President Reagan telephoned, Spellman says he would have discussed the issue out of respect for the Presidency. He adds, "I'm glad he hasn't called."
In reaching his decision, Spellman limited himself to studying the report of his state's Energy Facility Site Evaluation Council (EFSEC), which after 18 months of public hearings recommended last February that the Governor deny approval. EFSEC raised two main objections to the pipeline. First, the board thought that tankers unloading massive amounts of crude oil in Port Angeles, where the pipeline would start, posed an unacceptable risk of fire and explosion to the area's 12,000 residents. (Such accidents have occurred at various points on the Trans-Alaska Pipeline.) Second, the 22 miles of pipeline that would run 350 feet below the surface of Puget Sound might break, spilling huge amounts of oil into prime fishing waters. Having promised that he would accept the advisory board's recommendations unless he found serious flaws in its reasoning, Spellman officially endorsed its pipeline ban earlier this month, but says that he remains open to any pipeline proposal that would bypass Puget Sound and Port Angeles.
Spellman's decision to sandbag the project may also sandbag his career. A native of Seattle who attended Seattle University, a Jesuit college, and then earned a law degree at Georgetown University, Spellman was elected Governor in 1980 after 12 years as County Executive of King County (which includes his hometown). With Lois, his wife of 27 years, he lives in the governor's mansion in Olympia with the youngest three of their six children, aged 12 to 27. His opponents on the pipeline issue believe he won't be reelected in 1984. "I don't think he will have a very good political future," says the Republican House Speaker, William Polk. "It seems crazy to me that the Governor doesn't work out some kind of deal on the pipeline, rather than just killing it."
Spellman insists that he is unconcerned by the political effects of his decision. "I'm here to do what must be done. I would guess my popularity is as low as it ever has been, but this job isn't a popularity contest. The party that does the best job for the people will succeed."

"What intrigued me ... was the way she has taken a tip from the Queen and been careful to incorporate national symbols [into her clothes]," Alexander says. "At the dinner in Malaysia, for example, she had the hibiscus [the national flower] embroidered on the Alexander McQueen dress (far left)."
Not only was her symbolism spot-on, but the cuts of her dresses were appropriate, too. "The style has had a slight hint toward the national dress, such as the V-neck Jenny Packham (second from left)," Alexander says. "That was similar to the tops that you see women in Singapore wearing."
"She looked very fresh and very feminine, and the skirts mostly seemed to be slightly longer than she would wear back here – showing less leg," Alexander adds.
In the early days of the tour, Kate, 30, gave a nod to local designers, too, wearing a violet-printed dress (second from right) by Prabal Gurung, who was born in Singapore. "And later she wore a dress by a local designer, Raoul (right), who is apparently one of the stars of Singapore Fashion Week," Alexander says. "That's very thoughtful, and it's a kind of tribute to the country you are visiting."
Though Kate is often seen as a conservative dresser, Alexander believes she's quite smart about outfit selection.
"She is not a showy, look-at-me dresser. Her choices are quite savvy," she says. "They are not safe but they are always exactly right. But most importantly they are always incredibly feminine and flattering without being too girlie."

Kunal Kapoor discovers the writer in him
By Express Features
Published: 19th November 2012 03:39 PM
Last Updated: 19th November 2012 03:39 PM
Actor Kunal Kapoor who was a part of the writing process for his latest film Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana right from the start, says he wants to take his new found interest forward.
The 35- year old is currently busy putting together few scripts for films.
"I have been working on something like I did in 'Luv Shuv...' There are three to four stories that I have been working on.
I am not writing a whole script, I am somebody who is more like a bouncing board, who ideates and puts together things. So, hopefully things will fall into place soon," Kunal said.
When asked if he plans to turn director any time soon, he responded, "Directors have to pamper egos and actors get their egos pampered. Right now I am happy being pampered and have no plans to direct a film."
'Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana', co-produced by Anurag Kashyap and UTV Motion Pictures and directed by newcomer Sameer Sharma, was made within a budget of Rs 3 crore but managed to set the cash registers ringing.
"It is a film I believed in very strongly. Sameer and I were doing something different from what Punjab is perceived as and nobody wanted to take a chance with it. But Anurag did and now to see the film having the effect that we wanted, is absolutely amazing," he added.
Kunal is also set to star in Kashyap's film, where he will play Raj Comics' superhero Doga. He will also appear in Chamkila, a biography of controversial Punjabi singer Amar Singh Chamkila.
"Doga is very far away. Next year Anurag will start shooting a film called 'Bombay Velvet'. So Doga will start after that. Chamkila is something I am very excited about. We are working on putting the script together," he said.

Jensen Steam Engine has no followers yet. Be the first one to follow.
A post war jensen steam engine model 25 runs for the first time after replacing some of the gaskets and the sight glass tube. This engine was discovered in my grandparent's upstairs storage room.
How to run a Jensen 65 Steam Engine. My first How-to video. What did you guys think. More of these type videos to come.
more engines at www.indianarog.com This is an instructional video on basic prep of a Jensen steam engine before running, covers water used and two types of oil needed. Done especially for Noah!
Jensen Steam Engine Style #85. Fast little steam engine. There is also a Wilesco D6 with fire in the boiler building up steam and getting ready to run.
This is a Jensen Model 26 mini steam engine. You put water in the boiler and burn dry fuel to generate the steam. There are two valves, one for the whistle and another valve to control engine speed. This is really fun to goof with.
A rare Jensen 75 meths, not to be confused with the slide valve, solid fuel model 75 that is currently being produced. This is a 1950's model that was the first ever version of the model 70 engine, but instead of being electrically powered, it is powered by a methanol burner, the original burners are as rare as hens teeth, so i fabricated one from copper pipe, brass plate, and brass tubing. These were not built in large numbers, because Mr Jensen observed that 95% alcohol is very dangerous, especially because this was built as a child's toy. This is only Jensen steam engine from the factory to be made to use an Alcohol burner, and probably the only that ever will.
I put this litle amusement park together a few years ago. The engine is a Wilesco D20 that my grandparents brought back from Germany after one of their trips to Europe in the 1970's.
Here's a little Jensen vertical steam engine. Powered by electricity--shown under full steam. These were popular toys for young boys long before TV.
This is my brass boiler Jensen 45. Jensen also built these engines with steel boilers due to a materials shortage during the Korean War in the 1950's.
Here's my Jensen 65 steam engine. The 65 is Jensen's mid-sized "hobby line" offering, heated by solid fuel. This was my first steam engine purchase. It was VERY used when I found it on Ebay. I cleaned it up, replaced a few gaskets and lubed it up. Like all Jensen engines, it runs great! Enjoy the show!
Jensen 25G steam engine powers a workshop instead of its usual generator.
Jensen 25G steam engine, first try under live steam since a full rebuild.
This is my Jensen Steam Engine mod. 75 powering up a Jensen Steam Workshop mod. 100 This particular set was sold by Jensen between 1963 and 1970. Production of the Jensen Workshop 100 ceased in 1983. From 1948 to 1950 it was mounted in a blue painted piece of plywood. From 1951 up to 1983 they changed color to a natural color plywood. "Nothing lights up the eyes of a youngster like seeing Grampa's old Jensen Steam Engine driving the wheels, belts and machine tools of a model # 100 workshop - Jensen Museum" Enjoy.
more engines at www.indianarog.com Here is a pair of Jensen 51 replicas built by me...the one on the left about 3+ years ago, the one on the right was just completed April 2009. I'm 99.99% sure there is not another video out there of TWO such engines running side by side. Only 27 original Jensen 51's were built by Jensen using their Jensen 50 as the core...I built two more reasonable facsimilies with added functionality. Originals had one lamp and one motor...these two have five lamps and one motor. They were fun to build, but these two will be it, NO interest on my part to build another.
This is my Jensen Model 25 stationary Steam engine. I used it to power a very rough model of a textile mill made out of knex and still in construction. (will put up a vid when it is done?). It was never done I destroyed it and built a Ferries Wheel instead see it at www.youtube.com
My Jensen steam engine running. The water is heated by an electric unit under the boiler.
My new Jensen #25 steam engines first run.
Here you can see that due to the small pulley, it peaked out at about 38 DC volts
In this vidoe you will see that the generator can past 30 DC volts. Being powered by a Wilesco D20 Please rate this video
Jensen 5 steam engine, with cast iron Jensen 15 generator, finished.
This is a modified Jensen 75 Steam Engine using a homemade alcohol burner to fire the boiler and drive a generator to light small bulbs. You will notice that the puke pink has been corrected with a more suitable flat black color and a new stack has been added that vents the steam more authentically.
This is a little demo of my 1930s Jensel model 25 steam engine, I found an old air pump and hooked it up to the steam engine, runs pretty well. This was found in my grandfathers basement and unfortunately the rest of the setup was long gone before I found it.
A Jensen style 5 antique stationary steam engine running.
My custom Jensen 70, hooked up to my fan/generator, powering both, my Lionel street light and my TinkerToy windmill. Simple to build and really kinda fun. Thanks for watching.
Here is my Jensen No.70 running on steam
My Jensen No.5 running on steam
Jensen 70, custom power generating steam engine. I really disliked this engine, when I first bought it. Now, many mods later, it's my favorite.
After sealing the crack on the cylinder the #25 is able to power the #75 well.
The #25 with the #15 generator. The drive band is too tight and too short otherwise it would work better. Also the PTO and pulley are the same size, which doesn't help either.
Here are my two electric Jensens, the Jensen #20 and #25
Short video clip of Jensen Model 55 operating
A new Jensen #20 Steam engine. It has the newer 660 watt immersion rod heater and runs very well. Takes little time to build steam and has quite a bit of power.
My Jensen 75 running on wood alcohol powering the Jensen 15 generator model.
JENSEN MODEL #65 TOY Steam engine. This was a Christmas present from my parents many many years ago. There is a PTO near the flywheel to drive accessories like a generator, saw mill type saw, compressor ...etc
I forgot I was filming when this was shot, so the camera just trails off for a while, but it returns don't worry :)
nice running steam engine
Here's the T90 I just got. Thought I'd shoot a quick overview of it and some running, since there doesn't seem to be much decent footage of this engine out there. For the money it's a decent model. Large half litre boiler, like the D22, but it lacks the drain valve. The base is also smaller, making it more compact than the D22. I'm firing it with my largest Forest Classics meths burner. I'm surprised that it maintained pressure so well considering how much steam it goes through. I was able to hold at a good 1.5bar indicated with the burner around peak output. It ran both the PMR and stepper generators just fine too. It's a little weird also to be running a steam engine and not slopping oil all over it: this unit needs no oil. The feet of the base have some cracks in them, but it does not affect the function of the unit, and considering it cost me a grand total of $180, I'm satisfied. It's no Jensen 95G in the looks department, but it's more within my means than a 95G is.
Here is a video showing my jensen model 65 running with the propane burner i built. The propane burner has since been modified because it caused far too much soot and was not very hot, that is the reason for the extremely slow running.
Jensen steam turbine #95G, mounted on a nitro blizzard chassis. Gas fired Cheddar boiler @ ~20psi opperating pressure. Clutch for forward and reverse, differentail brake system for skid steering. Check out www.crabfu.com for more info.
more engines at: www.indianarog.com Using a 1960's era Jensen model 50 steam engine as a starting point, I converted it to a replica of Jensen's top of the line "crown jewel". There are only 27 original 51's in the world (and now at least one replica)!
Jensen Steam Engine # 50, # 15D and Empire Ferris Wheel
more engines at: www.indianarog.com Like the Jensen #30 replica also displayed here, I built this one using the proper boiler, steam tube and engine that would have been used in an actual Jensen model #40 built in 1960. They were only made from 1960-1965, hence fairly rare. Wood and replica ID tag are new. Runs every bit as well as an original and looks better than most!
more engines at: www.indianarog.com Early '40's example of an Edison inspired miniature power plant run on steam. Lamp post can be seen lit as internal armature is rotated within the horseshoe shaped magnet surrounding it. The earliest style generator Jensen produced. All original condition, NO restoration by me or anyone else. Runs perfectly.
more engines at: www.indianarog.com Jensen made few accessories to accompany their line of toy steam engines, but what they made was durable and fun to watch run. This Model #100 is tethered to a Jensen #25 steam engine for motive power.
Very early and fine example of a Jensen Steam Engines Style #50 running on live steam.
Jensen Steam Turbine Engine Model # 95 G
See it Run, Raging Fire and Hot Steam, and a Whistle. This is an old Steam toy from the 60's or 70's. It was butchered-up when I got it. It was originaly a electric heated model but someone has modified it to burn solid fuel. It is a strong runner and fun to watch. ... (more)
LOOK FOR A NEW CLEARER BETTER VIDEO SOON! A 1936-38 Jensen steam engine (flywheels from a later models are used in this video) runs a small generator that puts out the 3VDC needed to run a Gameboy color. I found on the railroad tracks with Red in it and I wanted to see if I could power it with this engine. It didnt work when I found it but I took it all apart and cleaned & fixed it. Since I just found this, if the gameboy was damaged by a voltage spike or something it wasent a big loss.

T.J. Oshie took his game to the fairways to compete in the American Century Championship, a celebrity golf tournament held in Lake Tahoe. Oshie joined Martin Brodeur, Joe Sakic and Jeremy Roenick as the four NHL representatives competing.
Unfortunately, Oshie's putting was pretty ugly from seven feet out. Not quite Erik Johnson in a golf cart ugly, but pretty close to it.
It's actually more impressive that he was able to rim out on all of those shots. Good thing he's a bit more clinical with his finishing in the NHL.

MIDLAND, MI — Northwood University fell from the ranks of the unbeaten Saturday, dropping a 21-11 decision to 18th-ranked Wayne State at Nortwhood.
Northwood, 4-1, took a 3-0 lead on Alex Faust's 28-yard field goal, but
The Northwood football team dropped its first contest of the season Saturday afternoon (September 29), falling to No. 18 Wayne State 21-11.
The Timberwolves are now 4-1 overall, 3-1 in the GLIAC. Wayne State improves to 3-1 overall and in the GLIAC.
Northwood drove right down the field and took a 3-0 lead less than five minutes into the game on a 28 yard field goal by Alex Faust, a junior from Midland Dow. The Warriors wasted no time responding, scoring a touchdown 1:52 seconds later to take a lead they would not give up the rest of the day. Those two scores proved to be the only points of the opening quarter.
Wayne State answered with three straight touchdowns for a 21-3 lead going into the fourth quarter.
Northwood cut the lead to 21-11 with eight minutes remaining on an 11-yard TD pass from Aaron Shavers to Carrington Thompson. Shavers hit Tim Zabawa for the two-point conversion.
Cameron Jackson led the Northwood offense with 110 yards rushing on 17 carries. Linebackers Spencer Remtema and Ryan Whittum each added nine tackles to lead the Northwood defense.
Northwood must regroup for next Saturday's Axe Bowl against rival Saginaw Valley State University. Kickoff is noon at Northwood.

There are some great hopes for 2011 in terms of sports, and among them is the wish that Cleveland would get a real winning franchise. In the interim, move over Nostradamus. Here are some predictions of what could happen in the sports world in 2011 (Disclaimer: note these are predictions and not necessarily true or completely representative of the views of the writer):
n Brett Favre, cleared of sexual harassment, retires from the NFL and returns to play in the home opener for the Detroit Tigers before being sent down to play the remainder of the baseball season for the Toledo Mud Hens. (Hey, it worked for Michael Jordan.)
n The BCS says the heck with it all and goes to a real playoff system with a lot fewer than 70 teams going to no-name bowls - and the biggies waive the stipulation that competing institutions must buy omore than 17,000 tickets even though they're earning $17 million for just showing up on the field.
n The philanthropist who bought almost 8,000 tickets to help the hopeless Buffalo Bills avoid a blackout bribes NFL commissioner Roger Goodell to settle with the players union and avoid a lockout to the 2011-12 season.
n Tiffin University and Heidelberg become NCAA II and III national champions in all sports.
n Calvert and Columbian become OHSAA state champions in all sports.
n The NBA bans tattoos and strange haircuts.
n Any athlete who used performance enhancement or recreational drugs, lied to their coach, lied to their mama, gambled on sports, or killed anyone is banned from all record books and Hall of Fame nominations. (But, it's still okay for your daddy to sell you out to the highest bidder.)
n Caster Semenya, the world-class sprinter from South Africa, is declared a man, after all.
n Look Who's Talking: Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf can't hide their jealousy when Drew Brees and Lindsay Vonn make an amazing super-athletic baby a month behind the birth of super-athlete baby No. 1 between Michael Phelps and Venus Williams.
n Maya Moore scores 42 points to avenge UConn's loss to Stanford in the regular season, but loses to Xavier in the NCAA women's championship game.
n Butler's men's team finally wins it all at the NCAA basketball tournament.
n The city of Cleveland mourns as the Miami Heat battle to win the NBA crown, but recovers when the Browns win their first three games of the season.
Yes indeed, amazing sport feats are bound to happen in 2011, but let's also remember some of the events that shaped 2010. First of all, "Rest in Peace" and goodbye George Steinbrenner. You went out with a bang at the age of 80 after serving as the most beloved and most hated owner of the Yankees.
"RIP" to other notorious sport figures that died in 2010. Bye-bye Bob Feller, 7-foot-6 Manute Bol, Dorothy Kamenshek (the inspiration for the movie "A League of Their Own"), Nodar Kumaritashvili (Olympic luger from the country of Georgia who fatally crashed in a trial run), Dandy Don Meredith, Merlin Olson, Juan Antonio Samaranch, Sparky Anderson and the infamous John Wooden.
2010 did leave the world with plenty of other interesting and entertaining memories.
n Remember the summer of vuvuzelas? Those annoying bee-buzzing South African horns heard during the World Cup even trickled down to Major League Baseball in a failed promotion that had umpires and players on the Marlins and Rays teams wearing ear plugs.
n Le-Decision caused a monstrous Cleveland outcry culminating in one nasty note from one angry owner.
n Yeardly Love, a player on the fifth-ranked University of Virginia women's lacrosse team, was murdered by her former boyfriend who played for the men's lacrosse team, then ranked first in the nation. Ironically, Duke's men's team surfaced from a 2006 gang-rape scandal to defeat Virginia in the semifinals en route to becoming the 2010 men's national champions.
n Brees lifted the humble Saints over Peyton Manning and the Colts in Super Bowl XLIV to continue the healing process for the city of New Orleans. Unfortunately, New Orleans and Indianapolis are out of this year's playoffs after both lost a first-round wild-card game last week.
n USA and Canadian hockey helped the IOC score a TV-rating bonanza during the men's Olympic gold medal hockey game in Vancouver. The Canadian women's hockey team also had a bit of extra media attention when photos surfaced of the team's post-game celebration with cigars, beer and bottles of champagne on the ice rink. Unfortunately, Marie-Philip Poulin who scored both goals over Team USA, was only 18 years old - meaning, underage.
n Butler reminded the world a little dog can have a big bite when competing in the finals of the NCAA men's basketball championships. There were 11 lead changes until mighty Duke ousted tiny Butler in a 61-59 win what was the closest margin of victory in a final game in 21 years.
n Bobby Cox retired (okay, so I'm a big Braves fan).
n Tiger Woods went on a tailspin after the media caught wind of his infidelities with ex-wife Elin Nordegren who won a $110 million divorce settlement a few months ago. Even weeks of sex addition counseling couldn't help Tiger regain his focus on the golf course. 2010 was a year without a PGA Tour win for the first time since he turned pro in 1996.
n The Big Ten disappointed with its divisional "Leaders and Legends" idea, but scored big in a year of massive conference restructuring affecting the Pac-10 and Big 12 (which might become the little 10).
Other 2010 memories included Rick Pitino's extortion trial over a table-sex incident at an Italian eatery; Reggie Bush handing over the Heisman Trophy; and Big-Ben's nightclub "sex-capade" with a 20-year old who didn't welcome the big advances. Yep, 2010 didn't fail to entertain and 2011 can be just as interesting for sports fans everywhere.
Stay tuned next month for more inspiring and amazing sport stories from our small community in northwest Ohio to around the globe.
Bonnie Tiell is Tiffin University's faculty representative to the NCAA.

Either you're old, like me, and were aghast at the idea of someone defiling your beloved Jump Street. Or you're young (i.e., born after the '87 launch of the TV series that made Johnny Depp a star) and your reaction was closer to, "What's 21 Jump Street?"
Good news, graybeards and whippersnappers: This is a movie we all can dig.
The new Jump Street borrows the same conceit as the old – babyfaced cops go back to high school to narc on naughty kids – but torques it into a ridiculously inappropriate comedy.
The secret is the Mutt-and-Jeff pairing of Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill as the narcs. Tatum is Jenko, the hot cop to Hill's Schmidt, the smart one. They're both stunned when they enroll in school to bust a drug ring, only to find that cliques have changed and Schmidt's the popular one now.
Tatum is all goofy charm as he tries to fit in with the nerds, while Oscar nominee Hill mines his easy wit. They're both upstaged by Ice Cube as their hilariously cliché Angry Black Captain, who tells them to embrace stereotypes.
It's that kind of humor, the go-for-broke lunacy that isn't afraid to offend but never veers to the offensive, that should unite fans of the series and folks who've barely heard of it. Surely we could all use the laughs.
Johnny Depp wasn't the only one to get his start on the hit show. See Brad Pitt, Christina Applegate and others – all in their '80s glory, below

A group of Maui residents who oppose sugar cane burning has circulated a petition to more than 6,000 people asking Hawaiian Commercial & Sugar Co. and the state Department of Health to stop allowing smoke to pollute the air in publicly accessible areas, an announcement said.
The group has scheduled a sign-waving event at 10 a.m. Saturday at the corner of Mokulele Highway and Dairy Road to raise awareness about the number of people who want to see cane burning stopped as a pre-harvesting measure for sugar cane.
Stop Cane Burning organizer Karen Chun said: "There are many studies showing that the particles in agricultural smoke damage the lungs and heart."
She said the studies have been posted online at stopcaneburning.org.
HC&S General Manager Rick Volner Jr. acknowledged that any smoke aggravates pre-existing conditions, such as asthma.
Volner said HC&S had not seen the group's petition as of Friday afternoon.
"We want to be a good neighbor," he said. "And we would prefer not to burn, but the pre-harvest practice of burning is essential to our current viability."
Burning cane reduces the amount of material to be harvested and maximizes the amount of sugar available for extraction, Volner said.
The plantation employs 800 residents in a variety of jobs, ranging from field and factory workers to truck drivers, he said.
Volner said HC&S has worked to improve ways to provide residents with advance notification of cane field burnings, including, earlier this year, a website with an interactive map of fields to be burned and email and text messages to residents who want current information on cane harvesting.
Cane harvesting is a science, he said, and workers aim to create a plume of smoke that would rise high into the air, over populated areas and blow out to sea on prevailing trade winds.
HC&S complies with state and federal laws in its harvesting operations, he said.
Chun said fellow anti-cane burning activist Kevin Jackson has encouraged residents affected by cane smoke to make formal reports to the Health Department's representative, Blake Shiigi, at 984-8234 or via email at email@example.com.
According to Jackson, the Health Department "gives so many exceptions to the requirement that HC&S 'minimize visible smoke from entering any nearby building, public road, highway, beach or any area to which the public has unrestricted access' that the burn permit is toothless."
Jackson said Maui residents are frustrated by the blanket response about burning that "HC&S burn was legal."
Chun said only a few people lodge complaints.
"I was amazed when I saw that the 2012 Open Air Burn Permit only listed a handful of complaints," she said. "I think it is because none of us knew we had to document the smoke incident. The stopcaneburning.org link makes it easy."

Sewing Lesson - How to Sew Curved Seams
Now that you have practiced
sewing straight lines
on your
lunch tote project
, it is time to learn how to handle curved seams. They require a bit more attention before and after sewing to ensure that the curved edge is smooth and rounded, but once you learn a few tricks, they are not at all difficult to sew. It is important to learn how to sew nice curves because they are used in many home decor projects as well as in garments.
There are two types of curves: concave and convex (see, geometry does come back to haunt us). If a curve "caves" into the fabric, this is a concave curve. A curve that bulges out away from the main piece of fabric is a convex curve. Both are sewn the same way, the main difference is how the seam allowances are treated after sewing, which we will discuss a bit later.
First, it is important to cut your curved edges smoothly and carefully. Curves can be a bit tricky at times to cut because of the angle of the curve, so it often works best to cut a curve half-way from one side and then cut the other half from the other direction.
Rotary cutters also work well for cutting curves because they are easy to rotate as you are cutting without catching on the fabric. I find that the
smaller rotary cutter
(28 mm) works best.
To follow along with this tutorial, cut two squares of fabric that are 7 1/2 inches. Place one on top of the other and align the edges as shown in the photo. To create the curved edge, use a large plate and place it over the corner so that it intersects the bottom and left edges at about the same distance from the bottom left corner. If you are using a rotary cutter, you can use that to cut around the edge of the plate; if you will be using scissors, use a marking tool to trace around the edge and then cut out.
After cutting, your pieces should look like the ones in the photo to the right.
Prepare your machine for sewing by setting it for sewing a straight stitch and find the line on your sewing machine plate that matches your seam allowance (since most garment patterns use a 5/8 inch seam allowance, that is what we are going to use here in our example).
Place your fabrics right sides together and match up all of the edges;pin in place. Remember not to pin within the seam allowance to avoid sewing over the pins.
On your first few test pieces, I recommend that you mark the seam allowance on the fabric so that you have a visual guide on the fabric itself instead of having to rely solely on the machine seam guide.
To mark the seam allowance accurately, use a
sewing gauge
like the one shown here. Move the blue slider to the 5/8 inch line and use it to mark the seam allowance around the curve.
Put your matched up fabric pieces under the presser foot at the beginning of the seam so that the edge of the fabric is on the right side of the machine. Put your needle down and backstitch the beginning of the seam to secure it and then begin to sew forward into the curve. Sew slowly and use both hands to move the fabric gently to one side or the other so that you are following the curve with the needle, keeping the seam allowance a consistent width as you sew.
The trick with curved seams is to keep your focus on where the needle is penetrating the fabric because this is where the seam allowance needs to be gauged from (see red line in the photo). Most people tend to look toward the bottom of the sewing machine plate and guide the fabric based on that alignment which does not work with curves because the edge is not straight. If you look at the photo, you can see that the fabric does not line up with the blue line marking the seam allowance in between the needle and the bottom edge of the sewing machine plate. An
open toe foot
like the one I am using here, can make it easier to see how far the needle is from the edge of the fabric.
Tip: when sewing gentle curves, you can use your hands to move and guide the fabric through the machine, but sharper curves will look better if you stop sewing with the needle down, lift the presser foot, and move the fabric slightly to release the tension and change the angle of approach. When you reach the end of the seam, back stitch to lock it in place.

PIKE ROAD, Alabama -- The Town of Pike Road will host one final community gathering to discuss the upcoming ad valorem tax referendum and proposed school system Tuesday, Oct. 4 at St. James United Methodist Church on Vaughn Road.
The event will begin at 6:00 p.m. and will feature former Alabama Superintendent of Education and Auburn University President Dr. Ed Richardson, Troy University Chancellor Dr. Jack Hawkins, Jr., and Auburn Montgomery economics professor Dr. Keivan Deravi.
The meeting comes just days before Pike Road residents vote on the proposed millage increase to fund a new school system. That vote will take place at the Pike Road Town Hall Tuesday, Oct. 11.
"A city, county or community will be no stronger than the quality of its public schools," said Richardson. "I am pleased that Pike Road is looking into the formation of a very strong public school system."
Attendees will have the opportunity during this event to ask questions about the proposed ad valorem tax and school system. For more information, call the Pike Road Town Hall at 334-272-9883.

Get Your Pickle OnMacki West
We are a snacking family. The hubs and boy are the chip and cracker monsters and the girl and I will just snack on anything. This is not good for our health (and waistlines!) so we try to choose healthy alternatives like veggies and fruits. One of our favorites is pickles. My husband brought home a couple of jars recently and they were gone in TWO days. That's a ton of sodium! After that, I said no more to the store-bought version since making them at home is so easy, and I can control the ingredients. And cucumbers are just the beginning! We've done carrots, zucchini, red onion and more. Our favorite is making refrigerator pickles because they only take a few minutes, and with all the produce growing in gardens this time of year it's perfect for using up the endless amount of summer squash. Check out all the different types of pickles you can make after the jump…

Sweet And Spicy Picked Peaches 4 of 7When I go home to visit my parents and we head over to the nearby peach orchard for our box of bruised and ripe bargain peaches, this is the recipe that's at the top of my list. It's an old-fashioned classic, and a great way to use up peaches without using the oven.

Jalapeño Bread And Butter Pickles 5 of 7I tend to lean pretty heavily towards the dill and vinegar and less so towards sweet pickles, but this just might sway me. The thought of spicy-sweet flavor mixed with jalapeño is just too tempting.

Pickled Red Onion 6 of 7This is one of my favorite condiments. I especially love these over fresh tacos. You know, the taco truck tacos? I could eat them on their own, they are so good.

Acer with the Timeline series Acer promises to be the Holy Grail of all day computing. But does it deliver? The answer is an emphatic yes! With a few smart power management tricks and nifty tech from Intel. This notebook manages to stay afloat for a cool nine hours! Realistically, if you whip it the way we do. It still manages six hours.
The amazing battery life comes at a price performance. It runs Intel's 5U4100 processor which sacrifices vigour to eke out more juice. This processor isn't as tardy as say. The Atom but it buckles on intensive load. However, chores such as internet browsing, spreadsheets, etc. are taken care of without as much as moving a muscle. Other specs are nothing to complain about that enables it to coast smoothly.
The keyboard is a bit different to look at but it works flawlessly. In fact, the large-sized keys make it comfortable to type out a long email or a blog post. The touch pad has good sensitivity and supports gestures for pinch and zoom. The screen's glossy but it's sharp rendering colours immaculately and is slim courtesy the LED backlight. Acer also includes software to manage everything from Wi-Fi to the webcam.

Philippa "Pippa" Middleton was certainly a standout at the wedding of her sister, Duchess Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, to Prince William.
But what's the story behind the lucky gentleman who accompanied Pippa, 27, on the big day as she fulfilled her duties as maid of honor?
Here's what you should know about Pippa's royal wedding date – and rumored beau – Alex Loudon:
1. He ended his career as a cricket player to work in business
A right-handed batsman and an off spin bowler, Loudon, 30, had a promising career as an English cricket player. But in 2007, the Warwickshire-based athlete ended it to focus on a job in business. "I will continue to closely support the club and wish the boys every success for the next season and beyond," Loudon said at the time, according to the BBC. The following year, he enrolled in the full-time MBA program at the London Business School.
2. He's no stranger to the good life
Alex's dad, James Loudon, is a retired financier. Alex was the president of Pop, an elite society at Eton, the school he attended before he went to college at Durham, one of the most prestigious and highest-ranked universities in England. According to the Daily Mail, Alex was "unbelievably popular" throughout his school days.
3. He fits the mold of the typical sort of guy Middleton dates
Similar to Loudon, Pippa's former reported flames Charlie Gilkes, Simon Youngman and Billy More Nesbitt are also considered handsome, well-rounded men from wealthy families. Gilkes ran a popular nightclub and attended school at Edinburgh with Middleton, while Nesbitt is a Scottish aristocrat. Youngman is a diamond heir who works in event planning.

The needs of the consumer and the capabilities of IT are more closely aligned than you might think.
The world of IT and the world of its "customers" often seem so far apart as to be on opposite sides of an insurmountable chasm. Laboring under the weight of mythology and prejudice, the customers see IT professionals as removed from the business, and therefore removed from their priorities and needs. The natural tendency, therefore, is to think that IT professionals don't understand consumers.
After all, most consumers aren't "geeky power users" like IT folks—at least that's how the argument typically goes. In any case, IT professionals don't interact with business consumers in the same manner as sales and marketing people. In our seemingly infinite and insatiable human capacity to denigrate other professions or groups, we get wrapped up in the unfortunate world of stereotypes.
As a marketing professional, I consider myself far more capable of writing, speaking and strategizing than I do of exercising any level of technological skill. Moreover, as part of a profession that's always under the gun—something IT and marketing have in common—it's natural to want to find others to blame or at least to poke fun at.
However, during my more than 15 years of experience dealing with IT professionals, studying the culture of IT and getting paid to connect companies with their technical audiences, I've come to understand just how important IT is to smooth business operations. From this experience, I've come to understand how deeply IT professionals understand consumers. I've learned more about the consumers of IT from my interactions with IT professionals than from anyone else.
So how did this separation of IT and its customers come to pass? How did this inversion occur? The answers are actually fairly easily derived from basic knowledge of the life of IT professionals. As a group, IT professionals are:
If we consider that IT professionals embody these characteristics, let's shift the discussion to the consumer. Regarding consumers (especially consumers of technology), there are some basic discernible tendencies:
As you can see, the needs of consumers and the qualities of IT are quite well-aligned. It isn't simply happenstance that IT professionals understand consumers. It's built into the very fabric of what they do.
The next time you're blasted with the notion that you as an IT professional are fundamentally disconnected from your consumers, you need to sit down with your accuser. Explain carefully how, if the entire organization embraced the basic principles by which the IT department runs, everyone would benefit from newfound knowledge. In the end, of course, the consumers would benefit the most.
