Check out this ChessBase article (published on the day after April Fools' Day): http://chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=8047
Apparently after 1. e4 e5 2. f4 exf4, the only move that doesn't lose by force is 3. Be2, which draws.
Bullshit. Vasik should be high on something evil when he posted this crap.
First I was like
but then...
"On March 31 the author of the Rybka program, Vasik Rajlich, and his family moved from Warsaw, Poland to a new appartment in Budapest, Hungary. The next day, in spite of the bustle of moving boxes and setting up phone and Internet connections Vas, kindly agreed to the following interview, which had been planned some months ago."
It seems outlandish to say ...Nf6 refutes the 3.Bc4 line cause after e5 black has to waste a time getting his knight to safety and I highly doubt the opening is solved since a universal fact is engines aren't as good at positonal understanding as humans are.
Huh? 1.e4 e5 2.f4 ef4 3.Bc4 Nf6 4.e5?! is known to be bad for white due to 4...d5 (although Black should be slightly better with other moves as well).
I don't understand how that opening can be solved? How can it ever be verified?
It's April Fools. Chessbase does a joke like this every April Fools.
But it's April 2nd...
Surely you can't be that naive. Read the article and the variation board diagram. Of course it's a joke!
The joke is it was posted on the first. April fools boy.
Actually, no it was not, so it's not exactly within the boundaries of the Official International April's Fool Day Regulations. The article was published in 2nd April, but mentions that the interview took place the day after 31 March.
Here's the same discussion: http://www.chess.com/forum/view/general/im-rajlich-claims-kings-gambit-is-solved-by-rybka-cluster
If true, I am shocked.
But it is irrelevant to practical chess, especially blitz. All gambits do well here in the hands of a knowledgeable player.
They would have pulled it from their Chess Base site if it were an April fools day joke.
How do you know?
Funny to note how different the two threads are! One is full of people 100% positive it's an April Fools joke while the other thread believes it.
So I was right. Pago pago time.
Pago pago?
I knew it was a joke the moment I read the article. It amazes me at how gullible people like arctor can be to actually fall for a story like that. It was so ridiculous as to have me laughing, especially at the variation board they posted. Come on, people...

Hi all from Italy
Hi all,
I just discovered go4expert from a google ad in my site. I spent some time reading posts and found go4expert quite interesting especially on the C/C++ side.
With some friends we have developed (some years ago) a programming language named thinBasic.
thinBasic is written under PowerBasic compiler and we are thinking to port some of its part to C. I was searching for a forum where to ask and exchange opinion about C and possibly C++
So, see you around.
Re: Hi all from Italy
Hi and welcome to the forum and yes its good to see thinBasic but I doubt how you found go4expert in your ads because normally we don't do any advertisement as of now.
Re: Hi all from Italy
Well, bealive it or not I went here clicking on a Google ads.

We pulled off of Santa Fe Avenue on the East side of Los Angeles. Andrew, Magnus Walker, and I were out shooting once again, making use of the messy and tattered urban terrain. It was a familiar scene, making for a casual shoot with a man who has, in just the past couple of years, sky-rocketed into the automotive stratosphere. Passersby recognized the car on more than one occasion throughout the evening, stopping to ask questions and gather content for their Instagram feeds.

Chasing The "Right One" – John Sandras's 1971 Datsun 240ZMike Burroughs
It's widely agreed by American car enthusiasts that we got the short end of the stick – it almost always feels as though our friends across the ocean – in all directions – got better cars that we did. Whether it was emissions, crash test regulations, or simply market demand, the '70s, '80s, and '90s provided unparalleled allure for cars afar. However, as the saying goes: "We always want what we can't have," and the same rings true for car enthusiasts around the world.
I've heard my fair share of tales of car ownership, and up until recently, I'd have said "I've heard it all." Stories ranging from lucky back-yard finds that cost little more than a 6-pack of beer, to long cons, with enthusiasts spending years convincing others to let go of their prized vehicles. Anthony Herrera, however, begins his story a bit differently than most.

Burke website downplays Madison ties
MADISON, Wis. (AP) _ The website of Democratic gubernatorial candidate Mary Burke downplays her connections to the city of Madison and doesn't even mention that she serves on the Madison school board.
A spokesman for Burke's campaign says that the site will be updated to include her school board service. She was elected to the board in April 2012.
Burke is the only announced Democratic candidate to challenge Republican Gov. Scott Walker next year.
Burke updated her campaign website on Tuesday with a six-paragraph biography and a page with position statements in six categories. The site emphasizes her role as a former executive with Trek Bicycle Corp.
Republicans have tried to cast Burke as an out-of-touch Madison liberal multimillionaire.

Welcome to Successful Culture, created specifically to share with business owners and executives my insights, experiences, successes, and lessons learned on how to build a successful culture. Now in its 17th year, Information Experts has employees who have stuck by our side and trusted our leadership for more than a decade.
In my experience, employees stay for two reasons:
- They feel passionate about the work they perform.
- They feel passionate about where they work. They are happy there.
If either of these conditions stops or goes away, the commitment will diminish and key team members will leave.
Culture and people fuel growth. Growth does not fuel culture.
Here at Successful Culture, you'll learn strategies for building and sustaining a culture that will keep your employees engaged, happy, and committed to giving 110% — as well as cutting edge, innovative ideas that you can implement in your business every day—AND a whole bunch of fun concepts to play with.
Thanks for visiting — and congratulations for your commitment toward building a Successful Culture.

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Glenn W. Cleveland
Glenn W. Cleveland
(Sitting down in the machine shop....) I have this machine. It's a New Home Light Running treadle. When I got it, it was not moving at all. I've mentioned this here before....I figured out which part of the machine was stuck...a bar that runs across the bottom center that connects the gear at the right to the bobbin case at the left. The two bushings were completely corroded and not moving at all. After some soaking in PB Blaster...I was finally able to get them removed. I've polished off the gunk and rust that was on the bar inside the bushing. Now it moves, but as I tighten the screws down, it grows progressively stiffer. It moves, but it's so stiff...can't imagine it will treadle well. Should I polish the rod some more? steel wool? sand paper? I would really like this machine to work, not ready to give up just yet. Any suggestions?
It also sounds like the scarf on the serger needle might not exactly match the extinct needles the Kenmore uses. This may be the problem with the missing tie/bow.
And thanks for the help with my 201 Joe!
This one is unidentified. Glenn don't know either. There is a motor but it is a Domestic motor. Nice case - probably not original.

For sale: Queen's desperate plea that changed course of historyBreaking News
Arguably, the letter played a part in changing English history - the split from Rome. The queen - Henry's first wife - miserable and at her wit's end, asks for help from her nephew Charles V, the Holy Roman emperor.
"There is no need for my relating to Your Highness the sufferings that I and my daughter undergo, as well in the treatment of our lives, as in the surprises and affronts which every day the King's Council puts upon us, for our troubles are matters of universal notoriety …"
Catherine wants Charles to use his influence to get Pope Clement VII to uphold her marriage.
A month later he did, to the anger of the king, who had already had the Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Cranmer, grant the annulment. The chain reaction and his subsequent marriage to Anne Boleyn led to the break with the Catholic Church. "It is an extraordinary letter," said Marsha Malinowski of Sotheby's in New York. "It is so rare to have someone of such high standing write in her own hand, not using a secretary."
Catherine was 39 when she wrote the letter, which is one of only two by Henry's first wife to appear at auction for more than 20 years. It is expected to sell for between $US100,000 ($131,000) and $US150,000 on December 11.

Designed Security, Inc. (DSI) has reason to celebrate this year. The security and access control manufacturer is celebrating 20 years of providing security solutions for organizations of all sizes-from small businesses to the CIA.

Today the enhanced ES4200 remains unique in the industry and continues to be recognized as an effective solution for a variety of access control and security system requirements.

Since 1986, FCW has covered it all -- the major contracts, the disruptive technologies, the picayune scandals and the many, many people who make federal IT function. Here's a look back at six of the most significant stories.
A short-term funding bill is expected by Sept. 30 to keep the federal government operating through early December, but after that the options get more complicated.
The DOD is opening a new Defense Innovation Unit Experimental office in Austin, Texas, while Congress debates legislation that could defund DIUx.
A House panel approved a new IT modernization bill that appears poised to pass, but key funding questions are left for appropriators.
The Army's cyber director said cyber, electronic warfare and information operations must be integrated into warfighters' doctrine and training.

[Video] Audio-Technica Wireless 10 System Demo
In a recent YouTube clip, Audio-Technica's Gary Boss (Marketing Director) performs an "unboxing" of Audio-Technica's System 10 wireless handheld system, going through the package component-by-component while explaining the setup and the technologies incorporated in the system's design. This setup looks like it's great for both performers and DJ's who need a reliable wireless setup to get the show off the ground. Watch the video demo to see if this is a setup that would suit your needs.
Audio-Technica Unveils New System 10 Digital Wireless System
— Operating in the 2.4 GHz range, System 10 avoids TV and DTV interference, offering a cost-effective, high-fidelity wireless solution for houses of worship, musicians/hobbyists, karaoke, corporate applications and more —
133rd AES CONVENTION, SAN FRANCISCO, CA, October 27, 2012 — Audio-Technica (booth 705), a leading innovator in transducer technology currently celebrating "50 Years of Passionate Listening," is debuting its new high-fidelity System 10 2.4 GHz Digital Wireless at AES 2012. Perfect for a wide range of applications – houses of worship, singers and guitar players (hobbyist to professional), karaoke, corporate/presentation etc. – the System 10 wireless offers reliability and ease of use at an economical price point, along with features and functions comparable to those of systems costing thousands of dollars more.
Operating in the 2.4 GHz range, immune to TV and DTV interference, System 10 makes frequency hunting a thing of the past. System 10 offers amazingly accurate sound and extremely easy operation with instantaneous channel selection, sync and set-up. Up to eight channels may be used together without any frequency coordination problems or group selection issues. System 10 receivers and transmitters offer an easy-to-read digital ID display.
System 10 wireless ensures clear communications by providing three levels of diversity assurance: frequency, time, and space. Frequency Diversity sends the signal on two dynamically allocated frequencies for interference-free communication. Time Diversity sends the signal in multiple time slots to maximize immunity to multipath interference. Finally, Space Diversity uses two antennas on each transmitter and receiver to maximize signal integrity.
The single-channel System 10 includes the ATW-R1100 single-channel receiver and either a body-pack transmitter or handheld microphone/transmitter. The ATW-R1100 is a diversity digital receiver offering volume control along with AF Peak and Pair indicator lights.
Multiple system configurations are available, with handheld vocal microphone/transmitters and UniPak® body-pack transmitters designed for use with lavalier, headworn and instrument microphones as well as electric guitars.

VB.Net Array Basics
The ability to work with arrays is important in any programming language. VB.NET offers a simple way of grouping data into the array structures similarly to other languages. In this article, I will look at array declaration and usage.
Purpose of the arrays
Arrays are generally used for storing similar types of values or objects. They allow grouping variables together and allow referring to them by using an index. Arrays have an upper bound and a lower bound, which simply refer to the starting index and the ending index of a given array structure. Additionally, the data in the array can be sorted. Simple arrays are one-dimensional; however, you can also use multi-dimensional arrays in VB.NET. You can loop through an array to determine and to modify the values stored in the array.
Declaring and initialising arrays
There are two ways of initialising the arrays: to declare and initialise them in one statement, or to declare an array and choose to initialise it later.
When declaring and initialising arrays in the same statement, you must specify the type of the array elements and the number of the elements the array will hold. In VB.NET, arrays are zero based, which means that the index of the first element is zero. The elements are numbered sequentially. You must specify the number of array elements by indicating the upper bound of the array. The upper bound is the number that specifies the index of the last element in the array. Snippet A shows the declaration and initialisation of an array of integers.
Snippet A
Code: VB.Net
Snippet B
Code: VB.Net
Snippet C
Code: VB.Net
Snippet D
Code: VB.Net
Re: VB.Net Array Basics
The keywords 'ReDim' & 'Preserve' are really helpful!
Coz I just knew to use the Array in Snippet A & B.
Re: VB.Net Array Basics
in the snippet D,
is it just 'ReDim Preserve arrNumbers (25)'?
no '...As Integer'?
Re: VB.Net Array Basics
Thanks for dharing your ideas to us...
Re: VB.Net Array Basics
Re: VB.Net Array Basics
I would like to learn how to use arrays to store sentences, then use a label or a button to show each one.
Re: VB.Net Array Basics
similiar to this topic, my idea here is to take a string of characters from .dat file and store in a variable.
When i initialise the array like this Dim array(42) As Integer = {abc} where abc is the variable that stores the string of characters from the .dat file. How can I read the file, do I use StreamReader or something else? Is my logic here correct or wrong. I am planing the flow out before I start this project. Thanks in advance though. Smile

PROVIDENCE, R.I. - Anthony Quinn, the barrel-chested Oscar winner remembered for his roles as the earthy hero of "Zorba the Greek" and the fierce Bedouin leader in "Lawrence of Arabia," died Sunday. He was 86.
Quinn died of respiratory failure Sunday morning at a Boston hospital, said Providence Mayor Vincent "Buddy" Cianci, a friend of the actor. Quinn lived in nearby Bristol.
"He was larger than life," Cianci said. "I was proud to call him a friend."
Quinn, who appeared in more than 100 feature films, won Academy Awards for best supporting actor in "Viva Zapata!" and "Lust for Life."
Born in Mexico and raised in poverty in East Los Angeles, Quinn went from stage and B-movie roles to become an international leading man renowned for his big-man sensitivity and honest acting style.
In a film career that spanned more than 50 years, Quinn portrayed characters including kings, Indians, a pope, a boxer and an artist.
"I never get the girl," Quinn once said jokingly in an interview. "I wind up with a country instead."
He won his first Oscar for his work in the 1952 film "Viva Zapata!" as the brother of Mexican revolutionary leader Emiliano Zapata.
To many, Quinn's Oscar-nominated characterization of the Greek peasant Zorba in 1964 remained his most memorable role.
The Ouzo-drinking and bouzouki-dancing Zorba was Quinn's favorite role as well, so much so that he returned to the stage in 1983 in a revival of the musical inspired by the film.
As a child, he shined shoes, sold papers and preached. After working as a movie extra, he married Katherine, the adopted daughter of Cecil B. De Mille.
A real-life artist, sculptor and author, his role as painter Paul Gauguin in the 1956 film "Lust for Life" earned him his second Oscar. He was on screen in the film for only eight minutes.
In the 1962 film "Requiem for a Heavyweight," Quinn's character was battered by Cassius Clay, playing himself. The young boxer would later change his name to Muhammad Ali.
"He kicked the heck out of me," the actor said in 1997.
Later, after leading roles became less frequent, he left Hollywood to live and work in Italy.
"What could I play there? They only think of me as a Mexican, an Indian or a Mafia don," he said in a 1977 interview with The Associated Press.
He was divorced from Katherine in 1965 after he fathered two children with Italian costume designer Yolanda Addolari, sparking an international scandal.
In 1972, Quinn wrote his autobiography, "The Original Sin," which has been translated into more than 18 languages. He followed with a second volume titled "Suddenly Sunset." The characteristically straightforward actor shunned the use of ghost writers, favoring blunt honesty over Hollywood image-making.
"I could either lie or tell the truth," he said. "I figured the only value in such a book would be to describe my life as I lived it."
In 1978, he played a character closely resembling the late shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis in "The Greek Tycoon."
As his film career slowed in recent years, Quinn devoted his time to painting and sculpting.
Cianci said Quinn had moved to Bristol because "he wanted to get away from all that New York stuff, all the Hollywood hustle and bustle."
He had worked in television, appearing in a 1990 TV movie based on Ernest Hemingway's classic "The Old Man and the Sea" and the 1996 HBO movie "Gotti."
Quinn said in a 1987 interview that he reached most of the goals he set for himself as a young boy.
"I never satisfied that kid, but I think he and I have made a deal now," he said, referring to his younger self. "It's like climbing a mountain: I didn't take him up Mount Everest, but I took him up Mount Whitney.
"And I think that's not bad."

117th Christmas Bird Counts 2016/2017
Christmas Counts!
Originally started in 1900 by Frank Chapman, this will be the 117th Christmas Bird Count—the oldest continuous wildlife survey in North America! Originally only 25 counts, including Pacific Grove in California, there are now over 1,700 counts worldwide—mostly in the US and Canada—with over 45,000 participants. This huge database of information is frequently used to assess the health of bird populations, to help guide conservation efforts, and to better understand issues of habitat and our environment in general. All counts occur between December 14 and January 5 on any given year. CBC's were standardized in the late 1950's, and now typically have a 15-mile diameter. It's hard to find an activity that combines conservation and the fun of birdwatching quite as seamlessly. Some do 2, 3, even 4 counts!

Birding Basics by Cornell Lab of Ornithology
Watching how a bird acts, eats or flys, helps you learn to identify birds. One of the main skills to be acquired by the birder is learning to watch how a bird acts and to recognize certain behaviors.
There is a most informative online guide by The Cornell Lab of Ornithology. In the section All About Birds you will find information to develop birding skills by learning the birding basics.

The Magic Sword (also known as St. George and the Dragon, St. George and the Seven Curses (the film's original title),[1] and The Seven Curses of Lodac) is a 1962 live action fantasy film, mainly aimed at children, based loosely on the medieval legend of Saint George and the Dragon.
The film appeared on a 1992 episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000. In a highly unusual admission, characters Joel Robinson and Tom Servo said the movie was "pretty good for a Bert I. Gordon film" during a theater segment (though Crow T. Robot seemed to disagree). The writers of the show continued the praise in their Amazing Colossal Episode Guide.
In 2015, the film was spoofed by Rifftrax.
George (Gary Lockwood) is the foster son of Sybil (Estelle Winwood), an elderly sorceress. She brought him up after his "royal parents died of the plague" in his infancy. He has fallen in love at first sight with Princess Helene (Anne Helm).
She is kidnapped by the wizard Lodac (Basil Rathbone), who brazenly informs her father that he intends to feed her to his pet dragon in seven days, revenge for the death of his sister at the same age as Helene is now: 18. George wants to go on a quest to liberate his lady love, but Sybil believes he is too young (he is 20). She tries to distract the youth by showing him a magic sword, a steed, an invulnerable suit of armour, and six magically frozen knights he will command when he turns 21. The impatient George, however, tricks Sybil and locks her in a cellar, then leaves with the magical implements and revived company of knights.
Sir George and his party appear before the king and insist on journeying to Lodac's castle to rescue Helene, against the opposition of Sir Branton (Liam Sullivan), a knight who had previously volunteered for the perilous quest. The king promises the rescuer his daughter's hand in marriage and half his kingdom.
Seven curses bar the path to Lodac's castle. First, they encounter an ogre, who slays Sir Ulrich of Germany and Sir Pedro of Spain. When George tries to save Sir Anthony of Italy from a swamp, Branton treacherously comes up from behind and kicks him in as well. Anthony is killed, but George survives with the help of his magic sword.
Later, Branton meets secretly with Lodac. It turns out that Branton has Lodac's ring, which the magician lost and wants back desperately. The kidnapping was solely intended to make Branton look good in exchange for the return of the ring. When Sir Dennis of France happens by, Lodac prepares a trap. Mignonette, a beautiful Frenchwoman, distracts her compatriot, then suddenly turns into an ugly hag (Maila Nurmi, best known to TV viewers of the 1950s as Vampira) who attacks him. Fortunately, George saves him with his magic shield.
Lodac finally becomes aware that George is being aided by magic. He contacts Sybil and mocks her abilities. Stung, she tries to cast a spell to help George, but ends up inadvertently stripping away all his magical powers.
Sir Dennis and Sir James of Scotland perish when they reconnoiter ahead. Branton then leads George and Sir Patrick of Ireland into a trap, revealing his partnership with Lodac before sealing them in a cave with deadly green apparitions. Patrick enables George to escape at the cost of his own life.
George sneaks into Lodac's castle and rescues Helene, only to be captured. The magician gives Helene (actually the hag in disguise) to Branton, but once he has the ring, he uses magic to put Branton's head on a plaque on the wall. George is tied up, but escapes with the help of shrunken prisoners. Sybil arrives and finally remembers the spell that restores George's powers, enabling him to slay the two-headed dragon and save Helene. Sybil steals the ring while Lodac is distracted. When the magician threatens the young couple with the seventh curse - himself - Sybil transforms herself into a large panther and kills him. The movie ends as Helene and George get married. When the six knights are returned alive, George's happiness is complete.

Mythological references[edit]
The film is notable for its many mythological and folkloric motifs and references. Each of Sir George's knights seems to be named after a saint or other figure associated with his homeland:
- Sir Dennis of France, after Saint Dennis, patron saint of France
- Sir Pedro of Spain
- Sir Patrick of Ireland, after Saint Patrick, patron saint of Ireland
- Sir Anthony of Italy
- Sir James of Scotland, James being the name of a number of Scottish kings
- Sir Ulrich of Germany, perhaps in honor of Saint Ulrich of Augsburg
A 1606 book by Richard Johnson, Seven Champions of Christendom, lists the seven as St George of England, St Denis of France, St James of Spain, St Patrick of Ireland, St Andrew of Scotland, St David of Wales and St Anthony of Italy.[2]
Sybil, the name of George's foster mother, was also the name of a prophetess in Greco-Roman mythology, and furthermore there is the Perseus/St. George motif.
The film was shot on the 20th Century Fox backlot and at Samuel Goldwyn Studio.[3]

Well hello, friend!
Come on in, rest for a minute, and grab a cup of tea with me!
I'm Toni Lagaras, a pastor's wife, mama to my 3 kiddos, and to be honest – I'm still trying to figure out how to navigate the chaos of life.
I eat too much sometimes, don't exercise enough most times, get behind on my Bible reading plan (a lot!) and seem to always have a messy house. My library books are always overdue and I'm always forgetting something.
I went to Bible school with BIG dreams when I was 20, met my husband a few years later, started having kids a few years after that, and wha-la….the instant chaos of day-to-day life put my BIG dreams on the back burner.
Instead of ministering to the masses, I was trying to figure out where to put Bible reading and prayer time in my day between diapers and potty training and cooking and laundry and cleaning up messes and life.
(I heard somewhere that cleaning the house with toddlers was like brushing your teeth while eating Oreos. So true!)
There were a lot of invisible years. Mostly I felt forgotten. But looking back now, I see I wasn't invisible or forgotten. I was hidden.
And in my secret hiding place, I learned a few things about grace and love and life and walking hand in hand every day with the God who threw the stars into place.
He taught me about rhythms of life and helped me be content where I was. And He used things like pork chops and laundry to show me how to live the mundane days of regular life in an extraordinary way full of awe and wonder. Full of Him.
Sometimes I miss those hidden, quiet years, and what I resented for so long I now yearn to go back to. But new seasons bring new schedules and there is no going back…only finding a new way to connect in the new chaos of now.
Most of all, I'm thankful that in those invisible years I nurtured the most intimate relationship with God. And I wouldn't trade that for anything.
Baking is therapy to me, and so is writing. So, if you notice me posting a lot, you'll just know – it was a rough week and I may need some prayer! If you don't see me posting at all – you may want to send in the calvary. That would mean I'm overwhelmed. (Just keepin' it real!) 🙂
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you'll come back from time to time. And I pray the words you find in these journal pages will make you laugh (and maybe cry) and help you through life just a bit. But most of all, I hope they help you dive deeper into the sweetness of relationship with Him. His presence is heaven on earth.

The Wild Snohomians
Welcome to the original Americana/roots rock experience of The Wild Snohomians. We are a little bit alt-country and a little bit rock roll with a taste of rockabilly, and swing. Lead by front man Van Ramsey on organ, we deliver upbeat toe tapping material often flavored with a touch of wry humor guaranteed to get crowds dancing and smiling at the same time
Welcome to the original Americana/roots rock experience of The Wild Snohomians. Heavily influenced by the legendary giants of Sun Records, like Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash, as well as critically acclaimed songwriters, such as Townes Van Zandt, Steve Earle and Dave Alvin, The Wild Snohomians are a little bit alt-country and a little bit rock & roll with a taste of rockabilly and swing. Lead by front man Van Ramsey on organ, we deliver upbeat toe tapping material often flavored with a touch of wry humor guaranteed to get crowds dancing and smiling at the same time. Not surprisingly, one way or another, a lot of our tunes seem to end up being about our favorite things - cars, women and, of course, women who love cars. You know what we're talking about: love gone bad... love gone good... heck, sometimes love's just plain gone. Collectively, we have decades of experience under our belts. Members have performed throughout the U.S., Europe, Caribean and beyond. Some of us have been blessed enough to have had the chance to sit in with the likes of Randy Bachman, Al Stewart, Aretha Franklin, Boots Randolph and Art Blakely. The Wild Snohomians are currently working on our first album featuring the single "Who I Am."
Van Ramsey - Organ
Front man Van Ramsey handles the lion's share of the lead vocal duties and writes most of the band's material. Somehow, Van's sardonic wit has a way of finding its way in almost everything we do. Van started off his musical journey as a trumpet player earning a degree in jazz at the university of Miami before hooking up as a horn player and arranger with Royal Caribean cruise lines. After knocking around new York's jazz scene for awhile Van took a fateful vacation to the Northwest, fell in love with the area, made the move and switched his musical energies to keyboards and writing lyrics. His organ work adds color and excitement to The Wild Snohomians, and you may recognize his voice from KSER, 90.7 FM in Everett, where he's been hosting Pull The String for 8 years.
James Riley and Garvie Cooper - Guitars
Our gun slingers got their rock & roll chops playing the church dance hall circuit all over the pacific NW in the 70's. Born and bred in Snohomish County, the "coops" have been playing local bars and taverns for decades. Garv's original songs and
gritty vocals really connect with listeners. His versatile
guitar soloing contrasts nicely with the darker sometimes moody tones laid down his brother Riley. Together, the coops are the backbone of The Wild Snohomian sound.
Jim Freeman - Bass
Jim brings his own special energy and excitement to the band keeping things moving on the low end and helping out with vocals. His bass lines don't just walk - they strut! Jim's background includes being one of the Founding members and guitar players in the Seattle surf band "The Seamonkees" before picking up the bass to join the critically acclaimed instro rock outfit known as '63 Burnout. Jim currently works full time as a musician and producer with his indie label Sound Vision NW also performing with his Cars tribute/80's band All Mixed Up.
Steve Lykken - Drums
Steve hails from Bremerton where he started off as a jazz drummer before hooking up with highschool chums to form the psychobilly sensation "Seasons of Nightmares." There's no doubt about it - Steve makes every song we play sound better. His creativity, versatility and rock-solid time, gives the band the ability to move in any musical direction and make it cook.
The Wild Snohomians are extremely proud to announce the release of our debut album entitled: "Imperfect Crime" featuring 19 original songs. Available everywhere music is sold.
According to Steve Ward of KSER 90.7 FM, Everett WA:
"The Wild Snohomians demonstrate their formidable bar band chops on their first release, "Imperfect Crime", a rockin' collection of 19 original compositions that draw inspiration from rockabilly, blues, zydeco, Bob Dyan, Chuck Berry and many other familiar influences. What sets the Snohomians apart from other Americana bands is their irreverence--songwriter Van Ramsey, a Florida transplant, wrote the bulk of the material with a laugh and a good time in mind."
Set List
The Wild Snohomians are extremely proud to announce the release of our debut album entitled "Imperfect Crime" featuring the wit and wisdom of Van Ramsey and Garvie Cooper with songs about cars, women, women who love cars and the men who love them. We're already back at the studio working on a follow up. At most live performances you can expect to hear a wide selection of the following originals:
Another Day
Big Fat Cadillac 4x4
Carpet Town
Cuban Cigars
Daddy's Harley
Emma Peel
Gone Sour
Highway Song
Hog Wild
Imperfect Crime
Mean Mistreatin' Angel
My Dream of You
Old Guys
One Fine Woody
Real Hot Rod
The River
Tits and Tires
Wave To Ride
When You Dance
Who I Am
Sometimes we can't help putting our own spin on some great songs by our favorite artists. Here's a partial list of what we've been known to kick the tires on:
All I Can Do Is Cry (Wayne Walker)
Bad Things (Jace Everett)
Blue Moon Baby (Dave Diddle day)
Bop Pills (The Cramps)

text: Took Castor oil to self induce before my RCS nxt Tuesday. Gad to have a Csection to.minimize risk of uerine rupture since I had a Csextion last Aug. My aunt that helped raise me and my siblings and lived with my mom all our lives had a major Heart attack and a stroke both sunday night/monday morning. Shes not recovering well and has severely damaged the left side of her brain and we dont know if shell walk or talk again. Her right side is paralyzed. My mom is power of attorney over my aunts affairs and there is just a ton going on. My drs had been concerned about what support Ill have post delivery due to my history of mental illness. And the amount of kids I have to care for while recovering from Csection. --With everything going on with my Aunt I have a lot more relatives around this week who offered to help me with the kids. But my surgery isnt untill nxt week and I wont have the help. I explained it to my Dr. and she said without medical.reasoning they wont take baby untill 39weeks. So I went home took my Castor oil and was in L&D by 830am. Had baby 10:54am on October 18th. We are in the hospital down the hall from the intensive care unit where my Aunt is. I dont regret my decision to take the Castor oil. My body got a chance to expierience labor one last time..bitter sweet contractions if that makes sense. No Water breaking but oh well Ill just never get that expierience. And now I am able to recover while my older kids hang with relatives this weekend. And my mom and her siblings are free to work to get our house ( home is in my Aunts name) in order to recieve guest (preparation for my Aunts passing) while myself and kids are away from the home. My team Green Results are in as well: Baby girl !! Either Autum Noelle Skylar Noelle or Aaliyah Noelle --Can you ladies help give a vote in the comments??
