The misunderstood drum By Robin Lloyd • Jul 11, 2013 ehow.com The Name What North Americans call conga drums are actually "tumbadoras." Still 'Broke and Hungry' 80 years later By John Kessler • Jul 5, 2013 Listen Listening... / 3:12 The Blues Time Machine Blind Lemon Jefferson was one of the defining guitarists of Texas Blues of the 1920's. Influenced by the country and gospel music of Texas, he also heard Mexican music played by farm workers. His unique guitar style and high, eerie voice were memorable; he recorded over 100 songs and was one of the best known bluesmen of his day. Some of his other well-known songs are "Black Snake Moan" and "Matchbox Blues". He recorded "Broke and Hungry " in 1926. Where are the high honors for America's Latin Jazz artists? By Robin Lloyd • Jul 4, 2013 Lane Pederson Looking over the list of the recently announced 2014 National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Masters prompted me to search through the history of the awards for any Latin Jazz artists who have been so honored. 'My Babe' has gospel roots By John Kessler • Jun 28, 2013 Listen Listening... / 3:58 The Blues Time Machine Chances are you know the song "My Babe", made popular by Little Walter in 1955.

Slide guitar wizardry surfaced in 'Stranger Blues' By John Kessler • Jun 21, 2013 Listen Listening... / The Blues Time Machine Tampa Red was a slide guitar pioneer who helped create the template for modern blues. His distinctive use of single-string slide melodies in the 1920's would go on to influence virtually every slide player who followed him, including Big Bill Broonzy and Muddy Waters. In the days before amplification, he played a steel-bodied resonator guitar, the loudest and showiest guitar available. And he was one of the early adopters of the electric guitar, making the switch in the 1940's.

Hilton Ruiz tribute, Arsenio Rodriguez honored By Robin Lloyd • Jun 6, 2013 youtube.com Latin Jazz pianist Hilton Ruiz died in New Orleans in 2006 from unexplained injuries.

And here's some of Hilton's music: John Henry's legend lives through music By John Kessler • May 31, 2013 Ken Thomas The Legend of John Henry is an iconic myth of American railroad history, a battle between man and steam drill. One of the intriguing things about the legend is that no one knows for sure if John Henry existed. At least part of the myth is based on historical events from the mid-1800's; some say the source lies in Alabama, others point to West Virginia, both places where significant railroad tunnels were dug.

He was a major radio star in the 1940's on King Biscuit Time, America's first live blues radio show. He wrote dozens of songs that became blues standards, notably "Help Me" and "Eyesight to the Blind." He recorded "Bring It On Home" in 1963, but didn't release it until 1966.

'High Water Everywhere' and the father of Delta Blues By John Kessler • May 17, 2013 Charley Patton Listen Listening... / 3:31 The Blues Time Machine Charley Patton is considered by many to be the father of Delta Blues. What does that actually mean? A combination of location, timing and talent, put him at the leading edge of the new musical direction of the 1920s. He was one of, if not the first, to play what we might recognize as blues.

Early blues with fife & drum By John Kessler • May 10, 2013 Listen Listening... / 3:15 Early Blues with Fife & Drum In 1942, Alan Lomax discovered a community of musicians in North Mississippi, who played their own hybrid music that was unmistakably African-sounding. Called "Fife & Drum" music because of its military background, it hearkens back to post Civil War days, when this special and local tradition originated. Although drumming is a central element of African music, drumming was generally banned during the slavery era. With restrictions easing after the War, and the availability of one-time military drums, Fife and Drum music became a key part of North Mississippi culture.

Obscure origins of 'You Don't Love Me' By John Kessler • May 3, 2013 Listen Listening... / 3:43 The Blues Time Machine "You Don't Love Me" is a classic blues song that has roots in the 50's and is still being recorded and re-invented. Willie Cobbs, an Arkansas rice farmer, made his way to Chicago in the late 1940's, playing his blues on Maxwell Street, eventually releasing "You Don't Love Me" in 1961.

Bo Diddley's 'Before You Accuse Me' influential as the master By John Kessler • Apr 26, 2013 Listen Listening... / 3:43 Bo Diddley's 'Before You Accuse Me' influential as the master Bo Diddley may not have had the commercial success of some other performers, but his contributions to American musical culture are huge. Besides his trademark "Bo Diddley beat," he had a brash sense of style, dressing in outlandish outfits, playing custom-made square guitars and generally having a lot of fun on stage. In fact, he was a key player in the transition from blues to rock and roll, using a hard-edged guitar sound that would influence Buddy Holly, The Rolling Stones and Jimi Hendrix. Bo Diddley recorded "Before You Accuse Me" in 1957. Jazz Caliente celebrates Jazz April, part 2 By Robin Lloyd • Apr 25, 2013 goldstar.com Jazz April birthday celebrations continue on Jazz Caliente!

Jazz April Birthday: Joe Henderson By Robin Lloyd • Apr 24, 2013 wikimedia commons Influenced by Lester Young initially, then by Sonny Rollins and John Coltrane, Joe Henderson created his own unique sound. Jazz salutes its disc jockeys By Nick Morrison • Apr 22, 2013 William Gottlieb / The Library of Congress The advent of bebop added a fresh sound to American music. It also added new voices to some metropolitan radio stations: the late-night jazz DJs who specialized in presenting this new music to their fellow hipster nightflies. To recognize the work of the groundbreaking DJs who lent them critical exposure, jazz musicians of the period would occasionally write songs in their honor. Here are five of those songs. Jazz April Birthday: Charles Mingus By Robin Lloyd • Apr 22, 2013 wolfgangsvault.com Charles Mingus was a virtuoso bass player, accomplished pianist, bandleader and composer.

|A few answers to the same questions...
First thing to mention, please do not email me about a project as I am not taking any on at the moment. Also, since I received a number of emails about how I make things, I figured it may be best to make an entry here about that, etc.
I have a healthy respect for the tattoo world. Though I appreciate when I see my work tattooed on a person, I do not create tattoo designs for anyone at this time.
Illustrations/Mixed Media work:
I make a majority of my work by hand. Ie: I do not use Photoshop brushes/effects in my work. I'm not that technologically advanced to do such a thing. My use of a computer is extremely basic in that regard. It's a great tool to clean up images, but I don't see it as a creative tool by itself. Many commercial projects I work on require a great deal of versatility/flexibility in their uses and sizing. Because of this, I tend to construct pieces physically in layers, and will scan those elements for later use. Photography also plays a major part in what I create.
Overall Advice:
Learn to be poor yet dedicated, forever. Step away from the computer every chance you can and learn how to be flexible as an artist/designer. Learn art history, color theory, grid systems, typography, photography, and illustration. Work with other artists/designers around you. We all learn from one another. Education is everything, but the institution isn't. School is great, but retaining information is better. With that said, Art School is great for some and a waiting room for others. It's certainly not a requirement to be an artist.
To summarize, I am a person just like you, no better or worse. I work to create things that I find interesting and fulfilling on a variety of levels. My advice to you is to find your voice and do the same, and hopefully it will lead you in a positive direction. Good luck.

In online game speak, usually refers to "quit crying noob" or "cry more noob". The QQ is an old chat emoticon for a person crying. Seen predominantly in online gaming where one side starts complaining immediately upon ending a match, or one who constantly complains. QQNOOB is sometimes used as a curt response on web forums as well when someone spends an inordinate amount of time complaining about a subject.

Topic: Soligor 400/6.3 (pics) & Slow Aperture Pin
Posted: 04 May 2009 at 17:33
A100 + Soligor 400mm/6.3 (also Spiratone & other related brands) - T4 mount lens in M42 mount with M42-MAF adapter. I first learned of the Soligor 400mm from this guy's blog post.
at f/6.3, handheld
100% crop 1 (center)
100% crop 2 (somewhat off-center)
Sorry no corner crops (corners fell outside the plane of focus anyway, and ripples in the water make it hard to determine sharpness at the left & right edges). Contrast in this image is poor due only to overexposure, my fault.
A cleaned up version:
CA is heavy when shooting wide open, as you can see. Stopping down to f/11 helps significantly.
I'm not sure I have a sense yet of the sharpness or softness of images produced with this lens -- its heavy, all-metal construction and its length, and its slow 6.3 aperture, make it difficult to get sharp shots without a tripod, and then, even with a tripod, focusing is tricky. I suppose a chipped adapter (SSS, focus confirm) might help.
Tripod shots will follow -- after I take a few more & get them uploaded.
**original post follows**
Hello, working on getting a T4 (interchangeable) mount lens to M42, then an M42-->MAF adapter to get the lens on my A100. The T4 M42 mount I bought has the very nice feature of a manual aperture stop-down switch, like what you find on some M42 lenses, great for stop-down metering/shooting.
Here's the problem: the pin on the T4/M42 mount is slow in opening and closing the aperture blades. This causes the aperture to behave like there is oil on the blades (there is no oil on them, as confirmed by using the T4/MD mount & just flipping the aperture open & closed). So the aperture pin and/or manual stop-down switch is/are not snappy.
Can I oil the aperture pin and/or stop-down switch? If so, what kind of oil do I use?
Or, conversely, should I degrease the pin/stop-down switch?

Hmmm, thats not easy. I do not have real experience with that. Is it possible to take a look inside the unit where the slow-moving-pin is? Maybe you can see if there is dirt making it move slowly. This could also be resinifined oil or grease. That would be my idea.
I would try cleaning it as detailed as possible at first. And then see if there is grease needed (I don't think oil will suit).
My M42 lens has some parts with grease upon it. With getting older this grease of course is not getting better...so it might be time at your unit to "refurbish" or service it a little.
always on the need for improvement

If you think the issue is within the adapter, you might check this link regarding how to open it, and what is inside.
However, I am surprised to hear that it might be the adapter which is slow, as mechanically it is very simple, and there is no grease at all within it.
Are you sure that it is the adapter and not the lens which is slow? You might check it by manually actuating the aperture pin on the lens without the adapter.
btw, it is this lens, right? :
There should be no oil on the aperture and aperture actuator mechanism.
Alternatively, you might also want to permanently lock the adapter in stopped down position (like I did), especially if you are only using it with this lens. Anyhow, the only aperture stops which might be interesting on this lens are 6.3, 8 and 11, so at worst you would focus "wide" open, and count up to 2 aperture clicks to stop down.

@rowivision - thanks for your advice! I agree, I suspect it is just some dirt buildup or something of the kind. I will follow Gabriel's information, and open up the adapter.
Yes, already checked, and it is fine. It also works fine (opens/closes freely) with a Minolta MD adapter fitted. The problem only occurs when the M42 interchangable mount is fitted. I should also mention, that the actuation is slow regardless whether you press the aperture pin or the M switch, and you can tell it is slow even with the mount completely removed from the lens, meaning the M switch and the aperture pin feel stiff.
Thank you for the link. My T4-M42 mount seems to be the same. If I get a chance in the next few days, I'll open it up. Perhaps it just needs cleaning.
Yes, that is the lens. Quite an awkward beast, isn't it?
Very true. Using the M switch is awkward. Finding the fix for the M42 adapter is more a point of curiosity, than an actual need. Very likely, even if I do fix the adapter, I will still use your technique of locking the adapter in the stop-down position. Thanks again for your help!

At least it is not heavy (just 1kg is quite reasonable regarding its size), but it is long enough to be laughable, especially when you compare it to a 300/5.6 mirror lens:

Signature Hospital Corp. Prepares to Close
Signature Hospital Corp. CEO Charles Miller said Wednesday he would retire on Jan. 31, as the Houston-based company announced plans to sell its three hospitals and wind down operations by the end of 2011.
"Our decision follows months of careful deliberation on the future of our hospitals and the Company," said Signature CFO Steve Peterson.
Founded in 2005, privately held Signature owns and operates: St. Joseph's Hospital in Parkersburg, WV; Pampa Regional Medical Center in Pampa, TX; and Gulf Coast Medical Center in Wharton, TX.
"Based on current economic conditions and the impending healthcare reform, we believe Signature does not have the scale to continue to ensure long-term financial stability for Pampa Regional Medical Center and Gulf Coast Medical Center," Peterson said. "We hope to have the sale of St. Joseph's completed in the 1st Quarter of this year and the sale of the two Texas hospitals finalized before the end of 2011."
FTI Consulting was hired to find a buyer for Signature's Texas hospitals, and to manage them in the interim. In September Signature announced that it would sell St. Joseph's to West Virginia United Health System.
"It's in the best interest of the hospitals and the communities that they serve that we not only find the right buyer, but that we also find the right firm to assist in the day-to-day operations of the hospitals while we are working on the sales process," Peterson said.
PRMC is a 115 bed acute-care hospital located 60 miles northeast of Amarillo and 180 miles north of Lubbock. GCMC is a 161 bed acute-care hospital located 55 miles southwest of downtown Houston and 30 miles from Sugar Land, Texas.Both hospitals will continue normal operations during the transition.

Madurodam and Den Haag Centrum
Today we set off to view the famous Madurodam. It is an installment where they modeled miniturized versions all the famous building in the Netherlands. We wondered around and played with some of the interactive displays.After Madurodam we headed to the Centrum where we had delicious Chinese food in China Town. We picked up some freshly made …
Wedding and a boat ride
My brother invited us to his place for breakfast. He says he makes the best breakfast in the Netherlands. I am inclined to agree with him, since the food has not been all that good here. I will not go G.R.R. Martins on you, but the food was delicious.Shelly booked a car for us to use that day to get to the wedding. Shenmin and I set out to pick it …
In search of a cheap suit
Today's mission was to find a cheap suit for Francis' wedding. Eshka and Shenmin showed us around the Centrum. We went to several stores before we ended up at PriMark (think Ross). They had a whole outfit for me shoes, shirt, belt, slacks, and suit jacket for 50 Euros. I was sold! This way I would not feel bad if the suit got ruined during the rest …
Hup Holland
We woke up early to get an early start towards the airport. All of us super excited to visit my brother (Shenmin) and Eshka in the Netherlands.Boarded our plane and had an uneventful flight to AMS. At AMS we bought our train tickets to go to Den Haag.
We arrived at Den Haag HS where Eshka was waiting for us. Even with some Google maps mishaps …

Chase ends in pot bustSeptember 10,2013Chase ends
in pot bust
Police said a Rutland man claimed to be fleeing his ex-girlfriend when he allegedly led police on a high-speed chase through a residential neighborhood while carrying a felony amount of marijuana.
Brandon E. Davis, 30, is facing up to four years in prison after pleading innocent Monday in Rutland criminal court to felony marijuana possession and a misdemeanor charge of attempting to elude police.
On July 22, according to an affidavit filed with the court, Sgt. Christopher Barber with the Rutland City Police Department saw Davis drive east through the intersection of Main and Terrill streets at a high rate of speed.
Affidavits state Barber turned on his lights and chased Davis, who did not pull over but instead led Barber on a roughly half-mile pursuit along East, Lafayette and East Center streets, with speeds in excess of 50 mph.
Barber found Davis parked in a driveway on Bellevue Avenue.
I asked Davis about the incident and he stated he was trying to lose his ex-girlfriend, Barber wrote in his affidavit. Davis further advised that he then saw me and freaked out.
Barber said he could smell marijuana in Davis vehicle and after receiving consent for a search, found a bag of pot weighing 2.2 ounces.

How to Build an Arbor Bench
Use sturdy, all-weather cedar to craft a cozy seating spot for your yard
Sure, you could plop a couple of deck chairs in your backyard for an impromptu sitting area. But a hand-built cedar bench, framed by an arbor, gives you a more permanent place to kick back as the weather warms up, and adds an elegant architectural feature. Our design incorporates classic touches such as profiled rafter tails, alternating wide and narrow boards for the seat and backrest, and trellis sides to let your favorite climbers ascend to the overhead structure. Or you can let the bench remain free of greenery—it's eye-catching enough on its own. Follow along as This Old House senior technical editor Mark Powers puts it all together.

On its East Coast, running from Boston to Washington DC, lies Mega City One- a vast, violent metropolis where criminals rule the chaotic streets. The only force of order lies with the urban cops called "Judges" who possess the combined powers of judge, jury and instant executioner. Known and feared throughout the city, Dredd (Karl Urban) is the ultimate Judge, challenged with ridding the city of its latest scourge -- a dangerous drug epidemic that has users of "Slo-Mo" experiencing reality at a fraction of its normal speed. During a routine day on the job, Dredd is assigned to train and evaluate Cassandra Anderson (Olivia Thirlby), a rookie with powerful psychic abilities thanks to a genetic mutation. A heinous crime calls them to a neighborhood where fellow Judges rarely dare to venture- a 200 story vertical slum controlled by prostitute turned drug lord Ma-Ma (Lena Headey) and her ruthless clan. When they capture one of the clan's inner circle, Ma-Ma overtakes the compound's control center and wages a dirty, vicious war against the Judges that proves she will stop at nothing to protect her empire. With the body count climbing and no way out, Dredd and Anderson must confront the odds and engage in the relentless battle for their survival.

Iraq Failed U.S. Troops
As the U.S. military mission in Iraq ended, it was understandable that the commander in chief, President Barack Obama, and the deputy commander, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, would tell the troops that their sacrifices were not in vain. While that may make some members of the military feel better in the short term about having seen about 4,500 of their colleagues killed and another 32,000 wounded, it ignores the reality of the war and makes it more likely that those who follow in their footsteps will suffer the same consequences. The military and the country would be better off in the long run if Obama and Panetta had given the following speech:

PONDERING the state of South African politics, many believe that a fresh political alternative is what is needed to invigorate our democracy and put the country back on a sound footing. This school of thought believes the missing ingredient is the quality of the men and women leading our political institutions.
They may be right, but is it enough?
Even in the context of African National Congress politics there is an obsession with re-educating members in the old traditions of the organisation. This is admirable and may help, but also falls hopelessly short of conceiving what South Africa will need to grow into a nation leading the world in years to come.
We have a state that battles to complete basic tasks, political elites that often play a deeply polarising role and different sectors of society that are at war with one another. While there is much talk about social dialogue, it largely remains confined to dealing with the trivia of policy. There is no central, uniting idea that makes a powerful emotional connection with citizens from across the social and political spectrum while being sufficiently realistic to translate into tangible actions.
But why are we in such a state of listlessness?
Among several reasons, the most central is the manner in which post-1994 South African society has been organised.
We are bound together by a constitution whose most critical provisions are largely rejected or misunderstood by many South Africans. The death penalty would be likely to be reinstated in a referendum and the state would be given the power to confiscate land without compensation and give it to black people. There are also many who see homosexuality as an abomination and would not protest too much if gay South Africans were afforded less rights than those of heterosexual location. There are also those who wish the executive or legislature could overrule the judiciary.
There is a professed belief in fighting all forms of discrimination such as racism, sexism and others. We do badly at fulfilling this promise too — with even those in the corridors of power and influence displaying a particularly hypocritical streak.
Depending on the audience they address, or whether or not they are in the company of their ilk, they will verbalise vile racism, sexism and homophobia.
With such attitudes towards the constitution, there is little or nothing that binds the country together into a coherent nation.
As economic and social circumstances become more challenging for many South Africans, polarisation is common in particular along racial and class lines.
It is not unusual for powerful political entrepreneurs to launch self-serving, acerbic attacks on the black middle class for daring to comment unfavourably about the ruling elite. It is also common for the same politicians to launch racially charged attacks on so-called white capital while accepting back-handers in the form of lucrative business opportunities from the same purported enemy.
They use their proximity to power in the ruling party and the state as a lever to gain access to these opportunities, while fooling the public into believing they are in a war on behalf of the poorer classes.
In short, the convergence point of political, business and social interest of the elite is nothing more than a marketplace in which influences get traded for personal gain under the guise of social consensus. This situation is unsustainable and needs to change if this country is to achieve the level of the cohesion required to make great strides in social, scientific and economic development.
The national philosophical endeavour the country should strive for is a clear set of ideas which sets out what the country and its people should aspire to be, the institutions needed to support these ideas and what ethos such institutions should follow.
These should form the basis of a strong national philosophical centre to which most sectors in society feel drawn.
As a result, the areas of extreme disagreement between different social sectors would be few, and so would those who take extreme positions on critical issues.
Such a broad consensus greatly reduces attempts by different sectors and actors to delegitimise critical institutions that are meant to weld this country together.
Such behaviour is destructive and sends a worrying message that institutions of state are to be respected only when they agree with certain political or ideological interests.
South Africa's philosophical foundation should also go as far as trying to describe the archetypal South African which young people should aspire to being. It must inculcate strong open democratic values, solid ethical foundations, individual care for the other, and an attitude to work and success that results in a powerful national competitive spirit with no patience for laziness, mediocrity and the prevalent culture of entitlement.
To succeed, such an endeavour needs a strong political figure and centre whose charisma and gravitas appeal across class and race, and whose personal ethos resonates with the majority of South Africans.
They must have the ability and confidence to surround themselves with men and women of significant intellectual depth so they can successfully articulate the vision and transform it into practical ideas citizens find easy to understand and support.
We have to pursue this because a society such as ours, which is held together by a constitution we hardly understand, often disagree with and whose institutions are being destroyed by the very people meant to protect and strengthen them, is untenable.
The grand plans contained in the National Development Plan will not be realised when different sectors continue to work to destroy each other and there is no central, uniting idea that helps South Africans overcome some of their narrow interests for greater national and social good.
Countries ruled by benign dictatorships have managed to walk this path with a degree of success.
SA is a democracy in which people cannot be forced to participate in things they do not wish to support, in particular where the poverty of the ideas behind them is so apparent.
That is why this must be premised on winning the trust and confidence of the population, and on the production of evidence that what is being espoused is the right thing — and that it will succeed.
This confidence can arise only from trust in the political system and its actors, which is glaringly absent right now.
Many have warned that South Africa is sitting on a powder keg. Increasingly, people are retreating to racial and ideological laagers whose premise is making others the problem. There is much talk about "change", but this means vastly different things to different people. Even when some political change materialises, it will be as hotly contested as the status quo, absorbing and dissipating energy that should otherwise go to a focused, nation-building effort grounded in ideas and strong, respected institutions.
The first step for South Africa is to recognise that the status quo is a transitional arrangement whose destination is unclear and needs urgent definition.
To reach its ultimate goals, it will have to dispense with a lot of what is now familiar and make a fresh start. That is as hard and long a journey as it gets, but not to start would be a tragedy in the making.

About Me
Hello! I'm a professional modern/contemporary dancer (Lincoln Center, NYC), working as a part-time model to supplement my income and make some magical images. I LOVE the camera and bring a ton of creativity and personality to my shoots. I can go from classical ballerina to rocker chick in 10 minutes, and I rarely need direction! Being a dancer, I am highly aware of my body and I pose in a way that reflects all that experience. I'm also very meticulous, and like to view some images as we go so that I know what to tweak in the poses. You are guaranteed 100% satisfaction with your images of me, or your money back
I specialize in dance, boudoir/lingerie, glamour/makeup, and artistic nudes/dance nudes (nude reference photos available upon request, since I do not put them up here on MM). I am open to all sorts of wild and strange ideas, but will not shoot bondage or erotic, so please don't ask.
I do not shoot TFP or TFCD - paid shoots only! Please send me a PM to inquire about my rates. Please note that I have a 2-hour minimum for booking. Before contacting me, please be prepared with 5 recent high-quality images of your work plus a website, so I can verify legitimacy.
I am OK with traveling to Long Island/Westchester/New Jersey/Connecticut, as long as the commute time is not too much longer than one hour each way, and travel costs are reimbursed (in addition to booking fee).
Looking forward to working with you!

'Rocky Horror Picture Show' draws heavyweights
Sal Piro, prexy of the RHPS Fan Club, kicked off Thursday's one-night-only benefit perf of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" at L.A.'s Wiltern Theater. Maybe it was only hyperbole, but Piro claimed that it would be his 3,500th screening of the cult pic, which preemed 35 years ago. He then led the audience in calling guest Jami Gertz "a slut" (fave term for Janet) and guest Burt Bacharach "an asshole" (fave term for Brad).
Since the gala raised money for the Painted Turtle, one of Paul Newman's A Hole in the Wall Camps, the perf brought out some pretty big stars. Jack Nicholson and Danny DeVito alternated in the role of the narrator. While most of the songs were lip-synched to the film, which played simultaneously with the live perf, Lea Michele and Matthew Morrison delivered their Janet and Brad vocals live. George Lopez, Jorge Garcia, Julian McMahon and Lucas Grabeel were also seen making brief perfs under Kenny Ortega's direction, which had Janet and Brad servicing Frank-N-Furter in ways that Susan Sarandon and Barry Bostwick never dreamed of.
But hold on to your black leather corset. Tim Curry made a surprise visit at show's end. Talk about absolute pleasure!

Multifactor productivity in manufacturing, 2008
October 01, 2010
Among the largest manufacturing industries (those with employment over 300,000), multifactor productivity rose most during 2008 in the semiconductors and electronics components industry, followed by the medical equipment and supplies industry.
Multifactor productivity rose modestly in the largest manufacturing industry, printing and related support activities. Aerospace products and parts posted the largest multifactor productivity decline in 2008 among the largest manufacturing industries.
Output rose in only 17 of 86 manufacturing industries in 2008, compared with 39 in 2007. Combined inputs fell in more industries, 65 in 2008 compared with 54 in 2007. Labor hours fell in 67 manufacturing industries in 2008, while intermediate inputs fell in 65 industries and capital services fell in 43 industries.
Fewer manufacturing industries recorded multifactor productivity increases in 2008 than in any year since 2001. Multifactor productivity increased in about 40 percent of the 86 four-digit NAICS manufacturing industries in 2008. This was down from 2007, when multifactor productivity increased in about 60 percent of those industries.
These data are from the Multifactor Productivity program. See "Multifactor Productivity Trends for Detailed Industries, 2008," news release USDL-10-1351 (HTML) (PDF), to learn more. Multifactor productivity growth measures the extent to which output has grown faster than measured inputs, and reflects the joint influences on economic growth of a number of factors, including technological change, returns to scale, improved skills of the workforce, better management techniques, or other efficiency improvements.

The Pear & Cherries Clafoutis is a fruit based French dessert easy to adapt to all seasons.There are still some beautiful d'Anjou Pears available and this Pear & Cherries Clafoutis is a wonderful way to savor them before they disappear during the warmer months. The Clafoutis is a French dessert as delicious as it is simple to make.
The clafoutis (also spelled clafouti) originates from the Limousin region, in the centre of France. You know, the place of the beautiful Limoges porcelain. Traditionally, what makes a clafoutis a clafoutis are the cherries (such as in this classic version). In fact, purists may say that if there are no cherries, it is not a clafoutis, rather a "flaugnarde" (or "flognarde"). I am not sure what the appropriate appellation is when you mix cherries with other fruits, as in this recipe, but I find "clafoutis" much more fun to say than "flaugnarde." The word 'flaugnarde' is more charming once we know that it is derived from the Occitan words fleunhe and flaunhard which both translate as "soft" or "downy". Clafoutis is also an Occitan word. It is easy to pronounce 'clafoutis', and it sounds happy; try it: "cla-foo-tee." I bet you are smiling!
The Montmorency Cherry (from the Val d'Oise, just north of Paris) is well suited for the clafoutis, but you can follow your inspiration and easily create your own flavor, and come up with you own combination. In the summer months, apricots are a nice option. In winter, I find the cherries & pear combination particularly alluring. Of course, cherries are not readily available at this time of the year but that is fine: dried cherries, as you will see, are marvelous in this clafoutis.
Aside from the fruits, all you will really need for this custard is flour, sugar, milk and eggs. Here I have added some heavy cream to the milk, and some spices for added flavor. I like the fragrance of cardamom. So for the final touch, I add a pinch of cardamom and also some cinnamon. Feel free to experiment with flavors you like. For example, I would like to try cranberries instead of cherries, or even dried plums. A common suggestion for flavor is to add lemon zest. Follow your inspiration.
After playing around with several recipes, I have found that reducing the amount of sugar indicated in many recipes allows for a sweet and tasty bite without compromising a sensible diet. I have reduced it to one tablespoon and this seems to satisfy everyone.
To make this Pear & Cherries Clafoutis you will need:
Baking dish:
I used a 7 x 7 in. dish, about 1.5 in. tall. What was left of the mix I divided onto 4 small ramequins, to have nice individual clafoutis.
½ cup (65 gr.) dried cherries (I used the Dried Pitted Tart Montmorency Cherries from Trader's Joe)
1 ripe pear, peeled, halved lengthwise, and cored (I used d'Anjou Pear)
¾ cup milk (any kind, I used almond milk)
¾ cup heavy cream
¼ cup (35 gr.) all-purpose flour (and a little bit more for dusting dish)
1 tablespoon sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 pinch cardamom
1 pinch cinnamon
Preheat oven to 400⁰ F.
Oil a baking dish, dust with flour and remove excess.
In a bowl, cover the dried cherries with hot water by about 1 inch. Let stand about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, cut pears lengthwise in thin slices. Fan the slices in the baking dish. Use some for the ramequins if using.
Mix the milk and heavy cream together with the flour. Add the sugar.
Beat the eggs and add the vanilla extract, and the spices (Cardamom, Cinnamon).
Combine the milk and flour mixture to the eggs and spices mixture.
Pour the batter onto the baking dish. The batter will rise so do not fill more than ¾ of the way up.
Drain the cherries and sprinkle on the dish.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until it is nicely golden.
Take out of the oven and let it cool down before serving.
If you need to keep the clafoutis in the refrigerator for a while, simply take it out of the fridge about half an hour before serving. Clafoutis are nice at room temperature.
This Pear & Cherries Clafoutis is a voyage through France: the pear from Anjou, the Cherries from Montmorency, north of Paris, and the savoir-faire of the Limousin region, where the Clafoutis is from.
The Clafoutis is a French traditional dessert, easy to make and fun to adapt to your own taste and to what is available during the seasons.

It was a symbolic gesture in its own right. Comments emerging from Number 10 this week, suggested the prime minister would support local authorities which chose to ban staff from covering their faces, were met with a veil of silence.
No wonder, for in taking this position the government has again confirmed (as if confirmation were ever needed) how little it understands the business of local government.
It is to be welcomed that council leaders have chosen to make no response to this divisive policy manoeuvre – sometimes a dignified silence is the best way to expose the limitations of others' thinking – but it is important to explain just how antithetical it would be.
A decision to ban the niqab from British town halls would set up immediate artificial barrier between council and community, and at a time when councils are taking the difficult work of community building more seriously than ever before.
Welfare reform and cuts to public spending have made it difficult for councils to find funds for essential work which strengthens the bonds between residents and local community groups, and builds the capacity to help local democracy thrive. Nevertheless, they are committing scarce resources where they matter, bringing people together.
Popular newspapers like to run screaming headlines about, for example, the 'wasteful' £43m councils spend on translation and interpretation for non-English speakers. Communities secretary Eric Pickles states in his infamous '50 ways to save' document that these services are unnecessary and contrary to community cohesion. Nothing can be further from the truth: the signal they send out – that council services are for all, whatever your cultural background – is critical in the effort to build stronger communities.
Writing in the Independent, molecular biologist Sahar Al Faifi (who wears niqab) makes the point that we have far more important things to discuss in public life: the housing crisis and rising homelessness, inequality, youth unemployment, child poverty. How pertinent when it comes to local government.
David Cameron is granting councils powers that they don't want while overlooking the ones they desperately need to tackle these problems, and have been actively campaigning for. Nothing could help solve the first faster than lifting the borrowing cap imposed against local authority property portfolios in order to develop much-needed affordable housing, offering local people a stable home.
Legally, the policy runs contrary to the ethical framework councils employ as organisations. Phil Allen, employment partner at Weightmans LLP, has already warned authorities that adopting it could lead to "expensive and time consuming legal challenges." There's no time, and certainly not enough resources, for such a distraction from the real job at hand: creating better places for local people.
Councils have no desire to be invigilators of arbitrary concepts of British convention. They are as diverse as the communities they represent, and are committed to providing public services accessible by all.
If Number 10 is surprised at the lack of interest from council leaders in its latest wheeze, it's because it has not been listening to local government for some time. If it had kept its ears open, it would have heard that community cohesion is the first spark in the engine of local development and economic growth. Why would it want to put that at risk?

Thumbprint Cookies
Total Time
Prep 45 mins
Cook 15 mins
These are delicious cookies. They have been a family favorite for years. My daughter used to to love help make them at christmas time. We always used chocolate or coffee icing instead of the jam or jelly. They are great with a cup of coffee.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 cup butter
- 1⁄2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1⁄2 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 1⁄2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1⁄2 cups finely chopped walnuts
- 3 -4 tablespoons red currant jelly (I like to use icing made with powdered sugar & butter, flavored with chocolate or instant coffee) or 3 -4 tablespoons raspberry jam (I like to use icing made with powdered sugar & butter, flavored with chocolate or instant coffee)
- In large bowl of an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar until creamy.
- Separate eggs.
- Place whites in a small bowl, lightly beat; set aside.
- Add egg yolks and vanilla to butter mixture.
- Beat well.
- In another bowl, stir together flour and salt.
- Gradually add flour & salt to butter mixture, Blending thoroughly.
- With your hands, roll dough into balls about 1-inch diameter.
- Dip each ball in eggs whites, then roll in finely chopped walnuts to coat.
- Place on greased baking sheets,spacing 1 inch apart.
- With your thumb or the tip of a spoon (I use my thumb), make an indentation inthe center of each ball.
- Neatly fill each indentation with 1/4 teaspoon jelly or jam.
- (If using icing fill each cookie after baking.) Bake in a 375° oven for 12-15 minutes or until lightly browned.
- Let cool on baking sheets for about 1 minute, then transfer to rack and let cool completely.
- This is when I fill each with icing.

These cookies were just so-so, I wasn't all that impressed with them. The texture was just okay, and they were not sweet enough.
I was almost going to go with another recipe...but then this one just seemed better. And, boy am I glad I we went this one. The cookies are wonderful. My husband says they taste like polvorones (a Puerto Rican dry cookie). He has eaten several and he is really happy that my daughter doesn't care for them them:-). I did use one half a vanilla bean as I had them on hand. Also, I used a small cookie scoop (made by Oxo) and I got 4 dozen from each batch (I made two batches for a total of 8 dozen cookies). I didn't finely chop my nuts, so I used more like 2 cups per batch. I cooked 14 minutes. I am hoping that everyone at my cookie swaps loves them as much as we do!
This is a great recipe. I received many complements from people who liked it a lot better than myself! I prefer other Christmas cookie recipes... especially if I'm out to impress. With one batch I put the walnuts in the batter- I don't recommend this as it made it harder for the dough to hold together. Also, this recipe made about half as many cookies for me as indicated. Thanks for posting!

Another high cost useless position closed. COO for a 80M market cap company was a joke!
Sentiment: Strong Buy
In conjunction with his resignation, Mr. DeLuca and the Company entered into a Severance and General Release Agreement (the "Severance Agreement"). Pursuant to the Severance Agreement, the Company will pay to Mr. DeLuca a total of $175,000 as a severance payment, of which $11,666.67 has been paid. Mr. DeLuca will also be entitled, for a period of 3 months following the Effective Date, to exercise an option to purchase 125,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $1.50. The Company will reimburse Mr. DeLuca $89,000 for a contracted New York apartment and its partial furnishings. As part of the Severance Agreement, Mr. DeLuca has agreed to release the Company from any employment related claims and has agreed that he will not compete with the Company for a period of 12 months
WOW.. 175k for doing what exactly?! Thank you Paul Arena. Hopefully he uses some of it to buy shares of Augme
They need to fire whoever is in charge of negotiating these severances.
can we put Paul and Tom in the same apartment like Felix and Oscar?
Good! Useless sucker! Time to bring back this company to its rightful owner, us!! Hussey get busy and clean this house!
Sentiment: Hold
"In conjunction with his resignation, Mr. DeLuca and the Company entered into a Severance and General Release Agreement dated October 17, 2012." I guess we will wait to see the 8-K later for the terms.
no doubt. hussey is going lean and mean. not depending on the IP wins like Arena was. with any news of account wins, this stock should be on the way back north. "Should be"
How long has he been onbord?

The KitchenAid Proline 1.5 Liter Kettle is a fast heating kettle that stays cool to the touch. It may be purchased in multiple colors. The Frosted Pearl White was my choice. Low profile, easy to keep clean, variable temperature, rapid boil, convenient flip-top lid, volume level indicator near handle on kettle, dual stainless steel wall construction, a silicon plastic liner for cleanliness, nearly spot-free inside after use, analog temperature gauge on kettle with both degrees C or F, drip-free pour spout neatly dispenses liquids. Convenient temperature slide selector on base for accurate temperature desired, No keep-warm function however, the dual walled kettle retains temperature well and will bring desired temperature back in under a minute. Simply press the ON/OFF button on the base and this rapid heating kettle will warm the contents quickly. Temperature selector and water level indicator are both LED lit and a faint, but audible tone sounds to indicate contents are warm to desired temperature. First impression is the bit pricey cost and no keep-warm function but the functionality is excellent and saves energy with the rapid warming capability. Just warm it when you want it; less than a minute.... Nicely designed and quality throughout. Recommend this kettle highly...

Got this kettle 6 months ago and have used it daily just next to my tea pot. Never need to worry about boiling water again with auto shut-off bright lit features. We have put away our old stove kettle and always have hot water ready. Convenient to use. great features. matching colour. All adds up to the best kettle I have used.

His is the best kettle I've ever used. Heats up quickly and quietly. Can chose the temperature of water you want. Lovely gentle sound when starting and finishing.
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this kettle!!!
By Irenee
from Sacramento
I received one of these for a Christmas gift, the only thing I asked for. I posted an earlier review stating that there was a slight problem with the wiring, and it wouldn't stay on. The very next day, KitchenAid contacted me, had a new one sent out and a return prepaid label for the old one. I am still loving this kettle, I drink about a gallon of iced tea per day in the warmer months, along with 2-3 cups of hot tea to get me going in the morning. It holds enough to make two 1/2 pitchers of tea concentrate, and fill my 16 oz. hot mug in the morning. It heats very quickly to the temperature you want and shuts off, dinging gently to let you know when it is done. Highly recommended, and the color matches the rest of my kitchen countertop appliances!

I love it, except...
By irene
from sacramento, ca
I received this kettle for Christmas, 2015. I really love it, it's exactly what I asked for. I make 3-4 large thermos cups of hot tea each day, and in the summer, 2 half gallons of brewed iced tea, every day. There seems to be some wires loose in the plug, however, and i have to fight with it every morning to get it to stay on. Do i need to return it to KitchenAid, or the place where it was purchased?
What a Great Tea Pot!
By jims65

I've had this tea pot for over a month now and it's been a joy to use. It heats the water quickly and keeps it hot over several cups of tea. If you love a good cup of tea, I'd highly recommend purchasing this pro-line series electric kettle.
