The sleep-deprived brain can mistake friends for foes
If you can't tell a smile from a scowl, you're probably not getting enough sleep.
If you can't tell a smile from a scowl, you're probably not getting enough sleep.
An international team of researchers have found that when we smile it actually changes the way our brains process other people's emotions.
As emotions go, happiness usually hides in plain sight: seen in a broad smile, heard in a raucous laugh, felt in a big hug.
A newborn infant can see its parents' expressions at a distance of 30 cm. For the first time researchers have managed to reconstruct infants visual perception of the world.
A recent study by researchers at Chatham University in the journal Human Communication Research, found that friends are no better at interpreting correct emotional intent in emails than complete strangers.
Facial color is suggestive of emotional states, as in the phrases: "flushed with anger" and "pale with fear." Although some behavioral studies have investigated the effects of facial color on expression, there is limited ...
Accurately assessing pain in children in a clinical setting can be difficult. A study by researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine has demonstrated the validity of a new method for measuring ...
If we read about someone who is smiling and happy, without realizing it, we smile as well, and a similar reaction also occurs for the other emotions. If, however, the text is not in our mother tongue but in a second language, ...
What does it mean to be happy? Is it how happy you say you are, or is it how happy you act? Previous research has found that political conservatives report being happier than political liberals. But UC Irvine psychologists ...
Researchers have identified a single, universal facial expression that is interpreted across many cultures as the embodiment of negative emotion.
A facial expression results from one or more motions or positions of the muscles of the face. These movements convey the emotional state of the individual to observers. Facial expressions are a form of nonverbal communication. They are a primary means of conveying social information among humans, but also occur in most other mammals and some other animal species.
Humans can adopt a facial expression as a voluntary action. However, because expressions are closely tied to emotion, they are more often involuntary. It can be nearly impossible to avoid expressions for certain emotions, even when it would be strongly desirable to do so; a person who is trying to avoid insult to an individual he or she finds highly unattractive might nevertheless show a brief expression of disgust before being able to reassume a neutral expression. The close link between emotion and expression can also work in the other direction; it has been observed that voluntarily assuming an expression can actually cause the associated emotion.[citation needed]
Some expressions can be accurately interpreted even between members of different species- anger and extreme contentment being the primary examples. Others, however, are difficult to interpret even in familiar individuals. For instance, disgust and fear can be tough to tell apart.[citation needed]
Because faces have only a limited range of movement, expressions rely upon fairly minuscule differences in the proportion and relative position of facial features, and reading them requires considerable sensitivity to same. Some faces are often falsely read as expressing some emotion, even when they are neutral, because their proportions naturally resemble those another face would temporarily assume when emoting.[citation needed]

W.C. Fields
William Claude Dukenfield (1880 – 1946), better known as W. C. Fields, was an American comedian, actor, juggler and writer. Fields was known for his comic persona as a misanthropic and hard-drinking egotist who remained a sympathetic character despite his snarling contempt for dogs, children and women.
The characterization he portrayed in films and on radio was so strong it became generally identified with Fields himself. It was maintained by the movie-studio publicity departments at Fields's studios and further established by Robert Lewis Taylor's 1949 biography W.C. Fields, His Follies and Fortunes. Beginning in 1973, with the publication of Fields's letters, photos, and personal notes in grandson Ronald Fields's book W.C. Fields by Himself, it has been shown that Fields was married (and subsequently estranged from his wife), and he financially supported their son and loved his grandchildren.
However, Madge Evans, a friend and actress, told a visitor in 1972 that Fields so deeply resented intrusions on his privacy by curious tourists walking up the driveway to his Los Angeles home that he would hide in the shrubs by his house and fire BB pellets at the trespassers' legs. Several years later Groucho Marx told a similar story on his live performance album, An Evening with Groucho.

'Rock of Ages' audience can't fight this feeling
It's hard to imagine two musicals that are less alike than "The Sound of Music" and "Rock of Ages," which is in town at the Marcus Center through Sunday.
"The Sound of Music" features a would-be nun raising seven children in a nearly idyllic Austria. "Rock of Ages" promises "an evening of musical debauchery and decadence" and features a bevy of scantily clad women. »Read Full Article(2)

Torreys ski conditions / advice for first timer
I am considering skiing Torreys tomorrow or Friday. Are the conditions still acceptable to ski? I have not climbed Grays/Torreys before. What would be the easiest way up and down? I have read the NW face is the easiest route down. Is it stil skiable? Is there any special equipment anyone would recommend? I have only hiked 14ers in the summer months. Thanks.

America had just been born when President John Adams wrote, "Our Constitution was made for a moral and religious people." Then he stated a scary reality: "It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."
Two centuries later we seem to be well on the way to proving just how right he was.
As Christian faith ceases to shape the lives and thoughts of so many inner-city minority youths, we watch sadly as their culture unravels.
Responsible voices such as Bill Cosby's get shouted down and disparaged when they dare to spotlight the devastating effects of drugs and gangs and unwed pregnancies spiraling out of control in a generation that has largely cast off the moral discipline of faith.
In the placid 1950s, virtually every citizen in our land tried to behave as Christian morals and social norms required.
Even those who had abandoned the church were restrained still by Christian principles modeled by godly parents or grandparents.
Today's unchurched, secular masses operate in public school classrooms and prison gangs and corporate boardrooms without a vestige of hangover faith to dampen their greed or dissuade their dishonesty.
In 1951, twice each month in Kerrville, my parents put me on a Greyhound bus that took me 60 miles south to get my teeth straightened.
Although I was only 12, they let me walk unescorted half a mile through the streets of downtown San Antonio to my orthodontist's office in the Transit Tower.
When he was done, I traipsed back to a park where I sat alone on a bench for two or three hours reading a book while I waited for the bus to take me back home. Can you imagine letting your child do that in today's world with pedophiles and registered sex offenders residing on every block and with almost daily drive-by shootings by gangs and drug dealers?
Danger on America's city streets has grown inversely to the proportion of residents who attend church, honor God, and obey his word.
John Adams was right. The freedom and security guaranteed by our Constitution can be ours only if faith makes us moral. Legislators and jurists who think God is optional can cost us our democracy.

2005 Nissan Pathfinder SE Rwd 4dr SUV (4.0L 6cyl 5A)
Got my pathfinder back in 05, never had any problems with the the truck. Its been to texas and back many times. Like couple years back when we got that horrible winter storm here in chicago it handle the road like nothing. The best suv out there for the heavy snow. RWD with the 4x4 option. all i got to say its that its the best and knkw that its 10 years old still runs like new.
I bought this truck in 2008 with 47.000 mile on the clock. Aside from normal preventative maintenance, I have replaced both camshaft position sensors and the crankshaft position sensors. That is all. I monitor all fluids closely and now with 132.000 on the clock it still performs as new. The only other glitch is the CD player failed.
It has been reliable. The gas mileage is better than I expected. It weighs 5000 pounds after all . I get during my commute of around 20 mpg which is not bad for a truck based SUV. The ride is nice and firm and the suspension is responsive and surefooted.
Manual transmission availability would be nice. Better standard sound system.
People complain about reliability..here's what I do. The tranny/radiator problem? I spent $200 bucks and PREVENTED the $6,000 failure by replacing the radiator myself. The problem with the secondary timing chains making a LOUD whining noise when you accelerate? Rather than pay Nissan $2000 to fix it, I paid $110 AT the dealer for the parts (which they already have packaged together because it's such a common problem with their VQ engines...which are in over 10 million vehicles, so they're NEVER going to do a recall) and fixed it myself. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Spending $400 bucks is better than $7000. Maintain your cars people, don't [non-permissible content removed] when you can prevent this
My truck, which i bought brand new in March of 05, is a beast. This vehicle is VERY heavy and powerful which results in POOR mpg (about 15 average) but it's so worth it. I love the interior room, 58 inches of rear hip room...so awesome. If only it had about 2 to 3 inches of rear legroom it'd be perfect. Overall, this vehicle has been very dependable.
I love the hard plastic backs on the third row seats (which I hardly use), they're perfect for people with dogs or people who constantly haul things around.
I would LIKE to have no had to have spent money to replace my radiator and secondary timing chains, but I think this is still a reliable vehicle.
The only real complaint or improvement I can think of is more 2nd row leg room wouldve been nice.
Very unreliable and very poor powertrain and electronic system design. Started experiencing shudder at 89K miles when the automatic transmission moved between 1st and 2nd gear. Symptom did not occur over two day period until driving on third day where the issue worsened rapidly until transmission became inoperable above 10 mph. I investigated the issue and learned that this is a well known issue with the Pathfinder where the radiator fluid fails into the transmission, causing both the radiator and transmission to fail... great design! My transmission and radiator are shot at 89,000 miles. Looking at $6000 repair bill that I will not pay.
It is too bad that the powertrain design on this car is so poor. I enjoy the look and feel of the car and the interior and body of the car are very good. Over the past 20K miles the car has become way too unreliable. Throughout the life of the car I have had to repair a number of significant issues with the engine, suspension and electrical system. I used to think that I purchased a lemon but I have learned over time that this is just a poorly design car. The transmission/radiator failure is the final straw for me and the Nissan brand.
This is a known issue with Nissan Pathfinders. There are thousands of complaints on the issue with Nissan and there have been no actions other than raising the warranty to 80K miles. This is gross error in the design of the product and can cause significant injury depending on the timing of the transmission failure. I was lucky in that I had alittle warning before the transmission let go. I might have had a different result on the highway.
Do people have to die to get Nissan to take responsibility for their incredibly poor design? I am done with Nissan as a brand and suggest that the Fed investigate their inaction in addressing this problem.
Bought it in 2008 with 32K on it, now have 89K and have been a member of every recall Nissan has issued and then some.First was the A/C console had to be replaced; fuel sending unit failed at 70K, ECM was replaced under recall at 85K.Now with 89K, the oil sending unit has failed and the torque converter inside the transmission is shot.It's at Nissan getting a BRAND NEW TRANNY from Japan at the toon of $4300 and low and behold, that brand new transmission is defective as well.Leaking fluid.Its Brand NEW and still has issues.4-6 weeks before I get a replacement. Nothing but problems.Don't ever buy one of these vehicles.Selling it next year.Would rather walk instead LOL
Design of Truck, Strong Engine.
Extend Warranty to 120K, not 60K for powertrain

text: This was a give-away cruise for us as our ship (the Grandeur) caught fire 4 weeks before our Bermuda cruise last May. This was our 8th cruise (6 Carnival, 1 Disney and 1 Royal Caribbean) and definitely not our best. The food was mediocre, the rooms are small with no robes provided, there is a curfew for kids younger than 18 - a major disappointment for our children 15, 16 and 17 who have previously enjoyed running free of the folks until 2 am on Carnival. Royal Carib. charges for room service after midnight another disappointment for the kids as Carnival offers 24 hour room service. The lines for debarkation (at various ports) were insufferable, you'd think they didn't do this every week. Embarkation was a breeze but the pass card check between the check in desk and the ship was NUTS, we showed that card no fewer than four times and that was AFTER our picture was taken. I do want to include that the customer service (Jasper and Ivegenia in the dining room were amazing) was outstanding as were the shows. I really expected a lot from RC as their reviews make them sound so much nicer than Carnival...but that is just not the case. Carnival has much more to offer at a better price especially on the longer cruises - 8 or more nights. Norovirus hit our ship, but mercifully not our family.

I like the idea behind this game. Every other dungeon crawler always has pretty much the same story. "Heroes hired by ruler must go through dungeon to get item/kill evil to save world". I know dungeon crawlers aren't here for their story but the reasoning behind you being in this dungeon is pretty different. If they ever wanted to expand on this game in to the map world they could make a pretty original game out of it.

I wear these daily. I haven't been able to abandon my reading glasses, but I do pull them out less often. I still need them for small print, and I find longer sessions of computer work easier if I use my readers, but I can often run into a store and grab a few items without needing to pull out my reading glasses, and I can log onto the computer and check a quick email or two without struggling. I was shown test results by my opthamologist that showed the Biofinity material is one of the best for allowing oxygen to reach the eye, and I do find that my eyes are less irritated after wearing my lenses for long periods (12-14 hours). One downside is driving at night--I've found these lenses to be much blurrier than other (unifocal) soft lenses I've worn. Also, although these are intended to be a one month lens, they start to get uncomfortable after 2-3 weeks. I've managed to wear them a full month but am considering buying an extra box so that I can replace them more often. This is too bad, especially given they are pricier than most lenses. Overall, I would recommend giving these a try if the cost is not a huge issue,

I wear contacts when I go out; usually wear glasses at home because I just see better with them. It takes several moments for these contacts to 'settle in' after I insert them before they feel okay to go out with and vision is clear. They are thicker than the Accuvue Bifocals I used for years (now discontinued), so took a little getting used to, but overall comfort is not an issue. Wish they had a 'right-side, wrong-side indicator' and a bit of color to make insertion easier.

See all my reviews
I've tried many bi-focal products and still needed to reach for the readers for up-close vision. My eye Dr had me try the Biofinity and I was happy with the exceptional clear vision-whether near or far. No need to reach for readers and very happy with product.

Pavel Datsyuk will be back shortly.
Filed in: | The Malik Report | Permalink
WOW…just…wow. Just to see him play…..gives me goosebumps. He's the reason I will continue to watch hockey….for these memorable goals!
Posted by gowings from MTL on 01/06/13 at 04:02 PM ET
I will say it again, with more emphasis, now that 30+ more games were lost: appreciate Pavel while he's wearing the Winged Wheel. Like Barry, Trammell, Cabrera, Verlander, Calvin Johnson, Isiah, Joe D, Lidstrom, Yzerman. When you have Hall of Fame play to enjoy, savor every moment of it.
Posted by Bugsy on 01/06/13 at 04:10 PM ET
Of course I miss Magic Pav! But this just pisses me off even more. He was over there in Russia, playing and having a great time while we all sat over here with no hockey for half a season. I know all the players didn't get to play during the lockout, but most of the top players did. Seems to me like the fans are the only ones who lost out in this mess.
Posted by MsRedWinger from the State where Tigers roam in the Spring on 01/06/13 at 04:12 PM ET
Saw a link to a Finnish article and later the Russian source article and Pav was talking about wishing he would get to play the whole season over there. That if there's a deal made here to get the half-season going he'd be disappointed and that his heart will remain with the Red Army team.
Said it in another thread, but Pav has made statement after statement about missing his homeland and missing speaking his language. No idea on god's green why KH wouldn't get him a Russian or two for the locker-room. That was one of the biggest benefits to having Salei was the alleviation of that home-sick from Pav in some small way.
Really don't think he'll resign when this contract is over. At 35 he'll head back to KHL and play a few more years and loving the shit out of it. Talk about irreplaceable.

Snow suspected in multi-vehicle Dane County crash
Blinding snow is suspected of contributing to a multi-vehicle crash on southbound State Highway 151 in Dane County Thursday morning that injured two people, the sheriff's office said.
The crash involved three separate, simultaneous collisions, according to a report from WISC-TV (Channel 3) in Madison.
The crashes, reported shortly before 11 a.m., involved a chain-reaction collision that sent three cars into a ditch, the station reported. In addition, a semitrailer truck jackknifed and went into a ditch when its driver attempted to avoid the first crash, and two vehicles struck two other vehicles that were parked on the side of the road.
Two people suffered minor injuries in the crashes, which occurred just south of County Highway V. Motorists reported whiteout conditions at the time, according to the sheriff's office.
The sheriff's office encouraged motorists to watch their speeds and increase following distances.

'I had the craziest dream last night, about a girl who was turned into a swan," Natalie Portman says, tremulously, in the early going of Black Swan.
But it can't possibly be as crazy as the Darren Aronofsky dream that follows for the next 100 minutes.
The director of The Wrestler has, with Portman as his fragile, fantastic collaborator, crafted a ballet movie that is also a psy-chological horror story and a scary reverie about obsession and paranoia. Black Swan opens the 19th Philadelphia Film Festival on Thursday night, reprises Saturday, and will be released locally on Dec. 10.
Wild and woolly, the movie is a breathtaking head trip that hails from a long tradition of backstage melodramas: 42nd Street, A Star Is Born, All About Eve, and, yes, that kitschy '90s relic, Showgirls.

Katie Plequette, who helped Tascosa win four consecutive district girls' golf team championships, has signed to play collegiate golf at West Texas A&M.
Plequette was a regional qualifier three years at Tascosa and was voted the team's most improved player in 1999.
She was the city championship runner-up in 2000 and '01 and was the Tascosa Country Club girls' champion in 2000 and 2002 for girls ages 15-18.
Plequette is valedictorian of this year's senior class at Tascosa. She was a superintendent scholar every semester and was honored by Who's Who Among American High School Students.
"Katie is a great recruit for our new program," said WT coach Brad Borden. "She had opportunities at other established Division II programs in our conference and chose WT. To recruit such a fine player, student and person as Katie gives us a lot of credibility as we build this program."

It's the classic deaf leading the blind scenario, although having a mute along probably made things a bit easier. Merlin was definitely not have a good day, but it certainly wasn't a really bad day either. A good balance of things. My only criticism is that Merlin should have known better than to remove the arrow from Arthur's shoulder, although I assume there was a little more analysis there and that it was a minor wound that was clearly not going through an artery. Thank you for posting!

HOW COOL was the tribute the Yankees gave Mariano Rivera yesterday? The righthanded closer, who is retiring at the end of the season, got a first-class sendoff before the Yankees hosted the Giants in their final home day game of the season.
Rivera spent his entire 19-year-career with the Yanks and the 50-minute ceremony was memorable.
Jackie Robinson's wife Rachel was present to unveil a plaque of her Hall of Fame husband that will be displayed in Yankee Stadium's Monument Park.
The timing was perfect because the Yankees then retired Rivera's No. 42, thus making him the last player to ever wear Robinson's number.

Live From The Bell House: Sierra Leone's Refugee All-Stars, Big Sandy And His Fly-Rite Boys, Dennis Coffey & Syl Johnson
The Bell House
May 28, 2011
Down in Gowanus again, a few blocks away from its toxic canal, a proximity that doesn't impair The Bell House's ability to present great music, or even discourage folks from sitting outside in the newly-arrived swelter. How charming, to be hanging out in Brooklyn's industrial quarter, quaffing Blue Point blueberry ale, and inhaling the fumes from the nearby organic bratwurst truck.
Inside, it was almost impossible to avoid the dance floor's pull, once the Refugee All-Stars began its two-hour show. Even though the audience for this Saturday night holiday-weekend gig was relatively diminished, it could boast one of the highest ratios of dancers to non-dancers, so infectious was this fusion music from Sierra Leone. Perhaps the term fusion is misleading; it's being used to illustrate that this band didn't simply play indigenous music, it was also reaching outwards to Congolese soukous, Nigerian Afrobeat and, perhaps more crucially, Jamaican ska and reggae. All of these stylistic traits were sieved through a governing band personality, so the tunes didn't sound as though they were jump-cutting impatiently. Each shifting of emphasis was seamless, and actually provided a potential for keeping the footwork varied amongst the crowd.
This band has its foundation in bad fortune, its members being literally refugees from Freetown, back in 1999. They appeared in a documentary film about their enforced situation, camped out in Guinea. They made an acclaimed album, released in 2006. They began touring the globe, ultimately becoming an outdoor summer festival hit. Now, the All-Stars are pushing another disc, Rise & Shine (Cumbancha, 2010), having evolved into a tightly ongoing concern.
This was one of the year's most compulsively danceable gigs, right from the outset. The band's guitar latticework engaged the mind, even whilst the feet were shifting beats and hitting the floor in time with periodic bomb-drops from the percussion. The reggae numbers offered some respite, but even some of those were taken at a ska-jumping pace. The combo's shared vocals also provided substantial matter for mulling over, even as the bounding and bouncing continued. Most bands will occasionally slump when attempting such extended dance action, but these All-Stars completely sustained their momentum throughout, in terms of both the heads and feet of the audience. Quite an achievement, methinks...
Big Sandy & His Fly-Rite Boys/Eilen Jewell/Smokey's Round-Up
The Bell House
June 3, 2011
Just under a week later, the venue presented one of its three-band marathons, always a hot proposition, particularly if the acts are attuned with each other. Upon arriving at the outside tables, pre-show, it was easy to spot the opening band, as Smokey Hormel was in full Texan regalia, ten-gallon hat perched precariously on his head. Even though he's originally outta Los Angeles, this Brooklyn cowboy's Round-Up can be found playing regularly, only a few blocks away from The Bell house, at the much smaller Barbès bar in Park Slope, or at Sunny's Tavern in Red Hook.
This Bell House set was one of the group's bigger ventures, with an initially sparse crowd growing as folks arrived for what was destined to be a long evening of country-derived sounds. This was no ordinary rodeo-brawling gang. Singer/guitarist Hormel was a prince of irony, transmitting on low frequencies that inhabited the Johnny Cash regions. Hormel has enjoyed a highly diverse career, doing time with The Blasters, The Red Devils, Cibo Matto and, more recently, Forro In The Dark. The Round-Up's fiddler happened to be Charlie Burnham, normally sighted on the avant-improvising circuit, gigging with the likes of James Blood Ulmer. Sawdust-kicking Western Swing songs were delivered with virtuosic flash, and the combo benefit from their regular-residency stability. Humor of different types was central to this evening, as was a speeding instrumental dexterity.
Also closely identified with Los Angelesthough born in Boise, Idaho, and lately dwelling in Bostonsinger-guitarist Eilen Jewell is another breed of country artist. Here, the humor was more subtly intertwined with her song-craft and demeanor, and Jewell's methods lay closer to the mainline troubadour tradition. She could be described as a singer-songwriter, but invariably had a Nashville twang to her tunes, blended with a garage punk sensibility, even though this might have been disguised or refracted away from the hardcore.
Jewell dealt out generous selections from Butcher Holler (Signature Sounds, 2010), an album of Loretta Lynn interpretations. This was an ideal choice for the night's middle act, as she offered the chance for a more introverted sequence of songs. That word is only being deployed due to the excessively outgoing nature of Smokey Hormel and headliner Big Sandy, who completed the evening's possibly unintended Californian theme.
Already, we'd witnessed a pair of substantial sets, and Big Sandy was perhaps unwittingly heading for the early morning. It appeared to be a naturally ongoing curve of manic enthusiasm, as his set progressed deep into the night. The crowd steadily dispersed, but so recklessly driving were Sandy and his Fly-Rite Boys that this didn't seem to matter. Those who remained were caught up in the undimming excitement. Here, the humor was more overt, punctuated by frequent requests for tequila shots to be sent across from the bar.
Big Sandy is now a veteran, as this band began its upending of rockabilly and country music way back in 1988. The leader still boasts the mind of a youngster, though, and the Boys are still playing with the powerhouse precision and gusto that their name promises. Whether slugging at high speed, or crooning into the reverb chamber, all of Sandy's songs were powered by a rock 'n' roll desperation. His right-hand man is lead guitarist Ashley Kingman, who just kept on plowing through solo after twanging solo. Sandy guested on Jewell's new album, so it was no surprise that she returned to the stage for what amounted to a calming-down measure, lest the Big man become too accelerated. All the clowning around didn't interfere with a committed history lesson in American roots music. Or should that be the other way around? Clowning is probably the wrong word to describe Sandy's slightly sleazy, demented subversion of glitzy 1950s entertainment rituals. A punkily tattooed desecration of bobby-socked purity was requestednay, demandedfrom the audience.
The Dirtbombs/Dennis Coffey
The Bell House
June 4, 2011
Speaking of punk, the very next night, Brooklyn's home of inspired variety saw a curiously sympathetic matching between a guitar veteran and a team of twitchy garage rockers, both acts hailing from Detroit. Dennis Coffey is too individual to be termed a session man, but he has nevertheless appeared on countless records from the Motown house, and way beyond. When that label entered the psychedelic '70s, he was there, soloing on cuts by The Temptations, Edwin Starr and The Isley Brothers. He also played with Parliament, and has been heavily sampled by numerous hip-hoppers. The Dirtbombs projects a punk rock image, but its sound goes surprisingly further, into the realms of 1970s disco and no wave (an odd mixture), and thence into 1980s electro, all the while using the MC5 as a foundation. They've now been together for nearly two decades.
The combo backing Dennis Coffey appeared to be treading its way, as if this was a new relationship, but if so, the rapport has been built up swiftly. The keyboardist efficiently cued each switch in the music, which was mostly instrumental; primarily acting as a vehicle for Coffey's always-rapturous soloing. As it should be, this outfit revolved around the man and his axe, but this is not say that there weren't other bonuses, such as the guesting singer, a rawk and soul chick rolled into a single being. Coffey was throwing out a stream of always-frazzling statements, combining ice-pick soul-picking with surging psychedelic waves. His solos were like miniature stories, flowing through their logical narrative evolution, and inevitably reaching catharsis-level to climax.
The Dirtbombs revolved around singer/guitarist Mick Collins, formerly of The Gories. He spurred the band with uninhibited energy, sticking to a fairly brutal straight line, with drumming beats that emphasized a rigid, twitchy symmetry, albeit played with dogged fury. The songs moved subtly along their unsubtle style-path, throwing in a surprising amount of diversionary tactics, stepping sideways from the hallowed garage ground. Thus, the group created its own unique fusion. At first, most of the numbers were too brutally metronomic, but as the set progressed the Bombs became increasingly unhinged, heading further into the Stooges zone of extended rock chundering. The show ended with a lengthy drum freak-out, which wound up as an exercise in minimalist meditation, before the band returned for the blow-out proper. The evening's two acts combined into a veritable embodiment of all that's expected from Detroit's pungently urgent music scene.
Syl Johnson
The Bell House
June 24, 2011
The Bell House is also a second home to the Dig Deeper DJs and promoters, when they're presenting artists that are too likely to fill Southpaw in Park Slope. Just before the Undead Jazzfest's late night improvisation session in the same room, they held an early-evening party for singer, guitarist and occasional harmonica-blower Syl Johnson. This meant that the show had a tight curfew, but it seems that Johnson is accustomed to playing sets that are not much over an hour's duration, so not much of a compromise was required.
Hailing from deep down in Mississippi, Johnson's roots are as a blues sideman, playing for the best. We're talking Jimmy Reed, Magic Sam, Junior Wells and Howlin' Wolf. It was Johnson's 1970s work for Hi Records that went on to form the heart of his reputation as a soul man. This was also the home of Al Green, governed by Willie Mitchell's production prowess.
As usual, the evening's star attraction was backed by The Sweet Divines, a combo that have developed into prime Brooklyn soul interpreters. The singers who give the band its name, and their horn section, supplied an underlining dialogue, whilst Johnson took over the raw, lowdown tones and the occasional understated guitar solo embellishment. Garbed formally in suit and tie (but sporting shades), his personality comes across as a mixture of ornery and jokey, commanding and casual. Johnson's authority allows him to pepper a smooth entertainer persona with social comment and cussing interludes. He's old-fashioned, but also sly and sharp. The brightest-shining moments might have been slightly predictable, but who can resist the classic sting and swell of "Is It Because I'm Black?" and "Take Me To The River"?

Very good salad. I was a little leary about the dressing after tasting it, but after chilling it was fine.
Excellent salad! I took it to a party and everyone loved it!
Excellent and easy. Instead of the beans, I added chicken breast that I had cooked up already and needed to eat, used baby lettuce mix instead of romaine and added a bit of cumin to the dressing. Love it.
Wow - this salad is fantastic! The only change I made is that I didn't use the corn - I'm not a fan of corn so I put a cucumber in the salad instead. Lots of raves from everyone and had to give out the recipe, too!
Made this salad as written except used shredded cheddar (didn't have Mexican blend cheese). The dressing was quite different when tasting it alone, but on the salad it is really very good. I really enjoyed it and will be making this again.
Excellent Salad. With the addition of Southwestern Grilled Chicken With Lime Butter it can easily be a meal! I brought this to Chili night at the neighbors and it got rave reviews! Made for Fall PAC 2008.

PSK3AU-02E02SB-R -- Toshiba L675-S7044 Pentium Dual-Core P6100 2.0GHz 4GB 320GB
This is a refurbished model. IT worked ok for a couple of weeks. Then it started to have trouble .....
With the battery charged and ac in after working on it I shut down and it won't start again properly. If I just sleep/hibernate, or restart it comes back up. Once stopped the power button will turn the led lights on for battery and power, but the on button comes on briefly then goes off and will not respond again. IF I remove battery, power cable, hold button down for 20 seconds (tried longer as suggested elsewhere) it may work again. Normally I can put the battery back in and the battery light comes on but the power button again just blinks briefly then goes off.
There is a slight buzzing sound when the battery or power is connected near the power supply board.
Sometimes I can make it start again (getting harder to do so) by randomly start button/remove battery/power etc etc then it runs fine - battery shows full charge or charges ok and it runs off battery when I remove power cable.
Seems like a "starter motor" problem.
I have seen several problems similar to this but no real solutions - discharging the power does not work ?
Can I try and replace the power board ???
Try a proper system reset. With your system powered off, unplug everything including the AC, remove the battery, press and hold down the power button for 30 seconds, replace the battery and AC, try to power on, assuming you see it, as soon as you see the Toshiba logo press the 'F2' key to enter the BIOS Setup, in setup press 'F9' to load BIOS defaults, press 'F10' to save and exit, then try to boot into Windows.
Once you get it back into Windows, let's make sure you have the latest BIOS v2.10 update. Click start and type sys and click on System Information. In the 'System Summary', look on the right hand side for 'BIOS Version/Date'. If you do not have this version, download this file, double click to begin installation, follow the instructions.

How to update the BIOS on Toshiba notebooks
Please let us know what happens. Good luck.
Thanks for the advice.
I had tried this - but it seems to not want to start after I last powered off two days ago and I have tried what you suggested but can't boot up yet!
If I take out battery, ac, hold button for up to 2 minutes, replace battery the battery led light does not come on but if I press the start button the on led shows briefly then goes off.
If I put in the ac the ac led is on and so is the battery led. There seems to be a slight buzzing noise near the start button.If I press the button the on led again comes on briefly then off, buzzing goes. Pressing the start button again does nothing - no leds come on until I remove and replace the ac.
Has anybody replaced the power board with any success - this kind of problem has been reported elsewhere and I initially tried the remove battery/ac/hold button/replace and that may have worked before...and once running it was fine.
Bios is latest - I also had checked that.
1) Try removing only the battery, leave the AC plugged in, power on.
2) Try unplugging the AC, leave the battery in, power on.
3) Try unplugging AC, remove the battery, remove both RAM modules, replace one RAM module in a different spot, replace battery & AC, power on. Repeat this process until you have tried each RAM module alone in each slot. See the installing/removing RAM directions starting on page 51 of your Satellite® L670 Series User's Guide.
4) If none of the above works it could be a corrupt BIOS.
5) If your system is still on warranty, call customer support:
Customer Support in the United States
6) if your system is off warranty, perhaps you should consider paying a professional for a diagnostic:
Good luck.
Thanks again - tried this and after swapping ram there was a change - fan came on. Later on I took it all to pieces and it started up! Then I tried to stop and it would not start again. But I seem to have managed to get it starting again after removing the ram again. Could it be the ram? Still uncertain that I can stop without having to try and do lots of removing to get it started again.....so might leave in sleep mode ...

Possibly. Let's check that. Click 'Start -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Windows Memory Diagnostic' and at least let it run overnight. Let us know what happens.
Good luck.
ran memory test - took about 15 minutes and reported no problems

Try it again. See this article. Especially Step 5 To Change the Memory Diagnostic Options, then select:
Test Mix: Extended
Cache: Default
Pass Count : 0 (zero - that is continuous)
Let it run over night, press 'Esc' to cancel, check the report. Let us know the result.
Unfortunately I never got a chance to try this - it stopped and would not restart no matter what I tried despite power buttons showing power is ok. I got it checked here in NZ but they say it is a mother board and they can not repair it here so my only option is via the USA. But toshiba will only ship to/from a USA postal address so I am a bit stuck which seems very frustrating. Thanks for your suggestions. Any more !! ?????
I have a Toshiba L675D-S7049 it would not start after shutting down for some updates. After days of searching for a resolution I can now boot it from my CD drive. I have restored the laptop to an eariler date and flash the bios, it will start after a normal shutdown but if I close the display without shutting it down first it won't start again.
The FN+C Hotkey will work for this model, it took some time to discover the correct keys for my model. I made a bootable CD from window 7 that I am keeping in the CD drive until I solve the issue with the display.
1. Make a bootable CD
2. Remove the battery
3. Press and hold the FN and C key
4. plug the power in while still holding the FN and C key
5. Press the power on key while still hoding the FN and C key for a little while, it should begin to start up.

John Mayer headlining Summerfest July 6
Mere hours after announcing the Eagles would headline Summerfest's final night, officials with the music festival have announced yet another act for the Big Gig: John Mayer will headline the Marcus Amphitheater on July 6.
Mayer announced his summer tour in a Google+ Hangout with fans Thursday night. He released a new album, "Born and Raised," last year, his first to stay in the top spot on the Billboard charts for more than a week. But he had to cancel a tour in 2012 after a granuloma in his throat was discovered. It was the second time in two years it surfaced, but Mayer underwent a second surgery and last January was able to sing on stage for the first time since April 2011. »Read Full Article(6)

On Tap Today: Drink up, me hearties - while you still can
Summer's finally here, but some things are leaving town. One of them is the "Real Pirates" exhibit at the Milwaukee Public Museum, which pulls out next Monday. So, if you haven't set sail for it yet, you might want to heave to.
Speaking of scoundrels, the Brewers limp home today to start a three-game series against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Maybe the team's "Spring Madness" ticket-deal promotion will help fill Miller Park - and get the team back in a winning frame of mind. »Read Full Blog Post
