James Moody
In April of 1977, with President Jimmy Carter in the White House, the ship Daphne departed the U.S. and cruised through Caribbean waters, docking in Havana Harbor. The Cuban national press, accustomed to writing only about the alleged achievements of Castro's regime, didn't devote a single word to the arrival of the vessel, which carried a distinguished and impressive group of musicians and press from the States. My friend Arnold Jay Smith told me that even Ry Cooder, who years later would produce the famous Buena Vista Social Club recording, was onboard. Nothing like that had occurred since 1959.
I found out about it because Arturo Sandoval, who happened to be in the area, recognized Dizzy Gillespie as he was leaving the ship, and convinced him to hop on his dilapidated Opel car from the 1950s. After taking him through the ruins of the once vibrant and beautiful city, Arturo drove Diz to my house in the suburb of Marianao, at the west end of town. Since I wasn't there at the time, they wrote a note in Spanglish on a paper bag—signed by Gillespie—and secured it to the front door. When I arrived home I thought it was some kind of a joke, until an officer from the political police appeared and ordered me to grab my horn and get into his military vehicle. Without any explanation, he proceeded to speed up to the Hotel Havana Libre (formerly the Havana Hilton), where the surprise of my life awaited me: a jam session with some of the musicians I had admired since childhood. Among them were Stan Getz, Earl "Fatha" Hines, David Amram, Rudy Rutherford, Rodney Jones, John Ore, Ray Mantilla, Mickey Rocker, Joanne Brackeen, Ron McClure and, of course, Dizzy Gillespie. And while we were chatting at a table for a couple of minutes, he asked me, "Do you know James Moody?" And without giving me a chance to reply, he added, "He is the sweetest person in the world … and a pretty funny guy as well!"
After mentioning the name of his friend and colleague of so many years, the legendary trumpeter wore a tender and somewhat mischievous smile. It was obvious that the man behind "Moody's Mood for Love" had a very special meaning to Gillespie, who had at his side—at one time or another—many of jazz's most legendary saxophonists, from Coleman Hawkins, Don Byas and Charlie Parker to Sonny Rollins, Jimmy Heath, Phil Woods, Sonny Stitt and John Coltrane.
That 1977 meeting in my native and beloved country marked the beginning of a wonderful and fruitful relationship. And one of the things for which I was most grateful to Dizzy was the opportunity to meet and work extensively with James Moody, a first-class musician whose greatest virtue was selflessness: He never thought twice about inquiring if he was doing something wrong, so that he would get a better sound for the whole band. His desire to continually become better, personally as well as professionally, was one characteristic rare among admired artists of similarly long and successful careers. His concerns about proper sight reading, expanding his harmonic understanding, playing in tune, and phrasing evenly with others are becoming uncommon in an environment plagued by would-be "superstars"—many of whom don't seem to understand what the word "unison" means.
Regarding his sharp sense of humor, Moody would make feast of it, especially during the most critical times. I recall that once, while on tour in Europe, there had been a disagreement with one of the musicians, a fellow who was somewhat problematic. Without going into detail, things turned ugly and we had to get rid of the malcontent, who hightailed it out of there. Bad vibes quickly arose, and you could have cut the tension with a knife. Moody then broke the silence by exclaiming, tragicomically, while pointing in the direction of the exiting musician: "Listen to me, pal, if your phone doesn't ring, it's me, OK?!"
Moody was very fortunate to have met Linda, an extraordinary woman who understood and took care of him until the very end. She easily became a great friend to many of his friends, and because of that, we got to love her as much as we loved her husband. Today she remains within us as the integral part of the valuable musical and human legacy he leaves behind.
So Dizzy was right. James Moody was sweet and funny—very funny—and we shall remember him with a big smile. I'm sure he'd appreciate it.

Historic Scotland Meeting follow-up
Following the community consultation meeting with Historic Scotland on Saturday 15th March Eilean Eisdeal remains concerned at the proposal to schedule the monument known as Easdale Slate Quarries.
We are struggling to see what scheduling actually brings to Easdale either in terms of positive benefit or negative (and protective) restrictions on works. That is not to say that Eilean Eisdeal is necessarily negative about the prospect scheduling; just that it has not made up its mind. Eilean Eisdeal will be attending a further meeting with Historic Scotland and then consulting with the community before making a formal representation to the scheduling proposal.
March 2014
Historic Scotland Community Meeting

Alex Macrae
Unfortunately Alex Macrae has resigned as a director. He has a future long term work commitment outwith Argyll which has meant he will lack the time to fully commit to the time needed as a Director of EE. He offered the following words "I do however fully support the hard work of the rest of the Directors and hope to help in any way I can in the future, time permitting".
The directors would like to thank Alex for his contribution to the charity throughout the last year.

And finally, the weather...
Easdale is a small island in Argyll on the west coast of Scotland, 16 miles south of Oban. 'Eilean Eisdeal', the Easdale Island Community Development Group, is a charitable organisation run by residents and friends of the island to carry out projects on the island of benefit to the community and with the long term aim of regeneration and sustainability for the island.
Eilean Eisdeal was set up in 1997. Its first major project, the renovation of a unique slate built hall on the island for use as an arts and community centre, was completed in May 2003. In 2005 funding was secured for the purchase of the island's historic harbour and an adjacent area of land for community development. The regeneration and repair of the harbour continues to be an ongoing project.
Easdale Island Community Hall
Easdale Island Community Hall is host to the highly successful Eilean Eisdeal Arts Programme and other community activities and is also available for functions such as weddings and conferences. Details of Arts Programme events, the hall and its facilities, and how to go about booking the hall, are now available in our dedicated hall website at www.easdaleislandhall.org.
Easdale Island Folk Museum
The award winning Easdale Island Folk Museum was purchased by Eilean Eisdeal in 2008. Now under community ownership it offers employment and volunteer opportunities to the islanders. Please see our Museum website for more information.
Eilean Eisdeal would not be able to survive without your support. Any assistance you can offer, either in terms of ideas or your time, or by way of financial donation or membership, will be of invaluable help in furthering the preservation and future viability of this unique island.
If you have never been to Easdale Island, we hope you'll visit soon! Please see our accommodation page for somewhere to stay.

Jacqueline Wilson interview
"I'm very alarmed," says the famous woman sitting next to me at the Covent Garden Hotel. "The bullying, the distressing roles, the crying, all makes you so anxious for those children. It's compulsive, but very disturbing."
Jacqueline Wilson could almost be talking about her own fiction but she is in fact considering the Channel Four programme Boys and Girls Alone which has been causing so much controversy this month. Wilson, who is referred to, hurtfully, in some middle-class households as "the devil woman" has published the second part of her autobiography, My Secret Diary. It sounds more suggestive to the adult ear than it is; like her books, it contains an utterly unpretentious story about a young girl, born the year after the War ended, and her problems with dating, dancing, dreams and friends. Her passion for writing has made her Britain's best-selling children's author, with over 90 novels to her name, and our former Children's Laureate . A heroine to a generation of children between 8 and 13, she is also almost as reviled by some parents as another popular British author, Enid Blyton.
The hostility to her work is a little puzzling, because her fiction (unlike Blyton's) is free from racism, sexism or any other kind of liberal bugbear. Her stories are about children in moderately difficult circumstances – with parents who quarrel, or don't have enough money, or with friends who bully them, for instance. Standard fare, perhaps, but the difference is that these children live, as the author herself once did, in council flats and go to state schools. Some, like her most famous creation Tracy Beaker, are the bully not the bullied. One or two even die.
"Some people think they know what my books are about when they haven't read them," Wilson says, her friendly face creasing in distress. "They feel I'm in favour of bad behaviour or swearing. Some even think I write about drugs. If you check my books, there's nothing of that kind. Mostly, my books are about outsiders, kids who don't fit in. I feel they're quite moral tales, although they do show that there are things even loving parents can't always protect children from. Children recognise the truth of that."
If you read her two volumes of autobiography, Jacky Daydream and My Secret Diary, it's obvious where many strands in her work come from. Her civil servant father and book-keeper mother married "too young", and not happily; Jacky was an only child, whose desire to write was fuelled by loneliness (though she was increasingly blessed with the kind of friendships which she describes so well in her fiction) and love of reading. Her second volume outlines her private struggles to look nice despite disastrous hair-dos and clothes, and ends with her finally meeting a nice boy at fifteen on holiday; but it also describes a humiliating row between her parents in the presence of her best friend, in which both mother and father stormed out of the car, leaving them alone for several minutes.
"It's a bit like walking a tightrope, picking and choosing what to say about real people," she observes. (Her mother Biddy, who never reads her books, is still alive.) "I didn't want to write a misery memoir – whimpering is not elegant. Also, as a mature adult, I can see the black humour."
She wasn't beautiful, rich or popular. Her father was prone to rages. Her diaries, faithfully reproduced, could be those of any mildly bookish teenager discovering the Brontes, film, and the "crass stupidity and insensitivity" of a teacher who shouted at a poor girl in her class who came to school in grubby bedroom slippers. Unlike her own daughter Emma (now a Reader in French at Cambridge, to her immense pride) she failed at school, and her one regret is not having had further education. Yet at 17, just after this volume ends, she submitted stories to DC Thomson that were good enough for her to get a job as a journalist , leave her family and move to Dundee.
"It was very good for my confidence, and as a way of making different friends," she says. "I was very poor – I had £2.15 left after rent – and at first I was so homesick I'd go into the Dundee Woolworths just because it smelt the same as the one near home! But I knew that I didn't want to be a typist."
Jackie, the girls' magazine that most women in middle age remember with affection, was named after her when the publishers were searching for a new title; she contributed about 65 articles for it, often doubling up as a teenage model for knitting patterns. Her burning desire to write is what made her remarkable long before her success; and what is not often noticed is that her own books consistently point her readers towards other good books in this realist vein, from I Capture the Castle to Billy Liar .
When people talk about the new golden age in current children's fiction, what they tend to think of is the fantasies of Rowling, Pullman and Horowitz. Jacqueline Wilson writes in the tradition of Frances Hodgson Burnett's The Little Princess, E. Nesbit's Treasure Seekers and Noel Streatfeild's Ballet Shoes. Her characters are modern children coping with poverty, envy, depression, divorce and powerlessness; if they find new strength, hope and happiness at the end it's never of the fairy-tale kind. She is the custodian of their fears, not the repository of their dreams.
"I never built up a fantasy world, though I have written a book with magic in (Glubbslyme, about a girl who finds a 17th century witch's familiar), early on. I do feel that if you reflect contemporary life your books are going to have a limit of about two generations before they fade away – like the Victorian author, Mrs. Molesworth, or even Noel Streatfeild. But what I hope my books do is help children feel they aren't alone."
All her novels use the first person, and it's the sameness of Wilson's narrative voice – artless, confiding, despondent – which critics find problematic, though children respond to it with insatiable enthusiasm. Each heroine finds herself with a different set of problems at home and school; some are young enough to just be starting sleep-overs, while others are adolescents falling in love. Knowing that she has the power to influence children makes her ultra cautious about every element of her story. She once dropped a reference to a child sniffing glue, on the advice of her editor, because even though she made it clear this was stupid and dangerous there was a risk a child would get the idea of copying it.
One of her best novels is The Illustrated Mum, about a girl coping with a manic depressive mother addicted to tattoos. Wilson herself knows what it's like to count pennies. Emma was educated privately, but on a scholarship; it was when Jacqueline encountered the parents of her daughter's school friends at home, commenting on the "terrible children from the council estate" where she herself grew up, that she got some of her richest material.
Wilson is the reverse of snippy, and gently amused by the recollection. Yet it is this consciousness of class, and the gap between what the more or less privileged child is offered which is possibly what middle-class parents most object to, not least because she refuses to show the child from a poor family as being automatically miserable and deprived: the columnist Rachel Johnson has described her own daughter's perverse longing to live in a council flat after encountering the Wilson oeuvre. At the very least, she has achieved her ambition to make readers "see that other girls are exactly the same inside, even if they're brought up differently."
All of this has made Wilson herself financially successful to a degree that she could never have envisaged in her youth, where her parents squashed in one room of her grandparents' flat in Lewisham until she was six. "When we got a council flat, my mum burst into tears because she was so happy, and had her own kitchen for the first time in her life."
Divorced from her policeman husband, she lives not far from the council estate where she grew up in a big Victorian house in Kingston-upon-Thames. If you have a daughter, you will have encountered not just her books but her brand – the pencil cases and duvets, all illustrated in the same bold, brightly-coloured way by Nick Sharratt. When I tell her that I've met boys who complain about her "girly" pink covers and say they'd like her to write about their sex more often (she has written two), she laughs and says that she doesn't feel confident about tackling a boy from the inside.
Ideas, she says, "just pop into my head", and she still writes them in notebooks (despite increasing arthritis) because otherwise she gets "bored and fidgety". She deeply dislikes the way primary school children are taught to plan stories out in advance in creative writing exercises, saying tartly: "it's not as if they're drafting a report!" (typically, she qualifies this by saying that "planning can still help you not run out of time.") Her writing is so compulsive that, until recently, she was producing two novels a year, selling over 25 million books in the UK alone. At 63, she became ill last year with heart problems, and needed a pacemaker fitted. She shows me the small neat scar below her collarbone, (adding proudly,"my wonderful surgeon has a daughter who was a fan") and reveals that six months of convalescence encouraged her to write her first historical novel, Hetty Feather, set in the 1880s, inspired by having become a Fellow of the Thomas Coram Foundling Museum.
"She's a fierce, feisty creature but very much one of my heroines," she says beaming. "I thought it would be a bit of a challenge, but I love the period and thought, I'll give it a go."
This very modest, very British willingness to "give it a go" is the secret of her success. Her seven huge silver rings, her smart ankle boots, cropped silvery hair and zest for life make her at once ageless, stylish and fabulous. Yet it is because she has preserved within her the vivid memory of exactly what it feels like to be none of these things that she has earned the love of a nation.


text: It is quite obvious that there are tickets still available...this is a ploy that ticketing agents do in order to curb the scalping business...though after looking on ebay this morning, I would say that it is hardly being curbed. My question is, during past Coachella's (where I have heard from some fairly reliable sources that tickets had sold out and then began leaking out through ticketmaster) what date did these leaks begin to occur? I have a brother who is planning to come out from Michigan and I would feel much more secure having tickets in hand than going to Indio and hoping beyond hope that they open up the box office, weekend of the show...That is never a good plan...too many bummer dead shows in the 90's being either ripped off on the price of tickets, being sold FAKE tickets or gate-crasher's wrecking it for the entire crowd...

If football is a soap opera, then the transfer window is the juiciest storyline of all.
January's transfer window is particularly full of drama. With just a month for clubs to conclude their business, January is fraught with tension.
We're not even halfway through the month yet, and already the transfer-window narrative is scripting itself like the screenplay of a Hollywood blockbuster.

Posted on 04/27/2012 8:11:46 AM PDT by TurboZamboni
Tigers outfielder Delmon Young was arrested for hate crime assault in New York City early Friday morning. The Associated Press reports that Young attacked a group of men while yelling anti-Semitic epithets.
From the AP: Police say Young was standing outside of the Hilton New York, not far from Times Square. A group of about four Chicago tourists staying there were approached by a panhandler wearing a yarmulke. As the group walked up to the hotel doors, Young started yelling anti-Semitic epithets. Police say it's not clear who he was yelling at, but he got into a tussle with one of the Chicago group, who sustained scratches to his elbows
(Excerpt) Read more at cbssports.com ...
glad the Twins got rid of him.
Can't hit a curveball either.
The season began with such promise, now the hits keep coming.
panhandler wearing a yarmulke
Never saw that in NYC!
Just another proof that the black segment of our population continues to be the most racist component.
I bet it gets dropped. It screws up the stats
I thought that in Holder's testimony before the Judiciary Committee, he made it clear that blacks could not commit hate crimes because of some contrived historical BS. Does anyone else remember that.
Oh, and also, i think the whole verbal hate crimes business is all BS. As far as I'm concerned, as long as you are not directly threatening another person's life or limb, you should be able to pretty much say what your darn well please.
Frankly, there are some people I hate, and I should be free to tell them how much and why.
This detail is far more shocking than the Delmon young stupidity.
"a panhandler wearing a yarmulke"
Think about that. That is a rare sighting. Is there another racial/religious group that has fewer panhandlers?
FYI - crooked lawyer not the same as panhandler
so when does Mel Gibson begin filming on "The Delmon Young Story"?
Oy vey.
Full release of Brandon Inge, yesterday. Not the bestest of infielders but you cauld tell he "left it all on the diamond" every game.
He will be missed by my family.
Hey Delmon, the Shtetl called. Its Schmegekie is missing.
I hope Tiger management has the brains to keep him out of the line-up in New York over the weekend.
Somewhere, John Rocker is saying "don't go there, man".
A hate crime AND his race wasn't mentioned. For those of us not into baseball it means one thing: he's black. If he had been white his race would have been mentioned - or the color of his hair - or a picture would have been printed....
There's no such thing as a hate crime. I refuse to give it credibility even if the left does.
Fact is that young was drunk and got into a fight, the end.
Age is starting to catch up with Brandon Inge but he's been a great all around athlete.
I know people who have met him and they say he doesn't carry himself like a pro ball player. He's just a regular guy who loves playing the game.
I agree, cripplecreek. I've never believed in thought crimes - and shouldn't have used their language...
"Boys, don't go to dirty movies. But if you must, please, remove your yarmulkes." —told by Dennis Prager of yeshiva
I could imagine Ty Cobb being arrested for an assault/hate crime. He was one of the most despicable human beings to ever play MLB.
He looks mean. I don't want him near Derek. Is he in jail for the rest of the series?
I agree and there were a few others as well. But as I said in my post - 95% were not like that.
Alan Trammel "negotiated" his own contracts with the Tigers management. For the last few years of his career, it was on a yearly basis usually the first day after the end of the season.
Cobb was no angel, but I don't think he is quite the monster people made him out to be.
On the bright side.
When there is a movie made about the incident, Delmon Young will be played by Mel Gibson.
Or will he be riding the pine based on this incident?
I agree. Some people should just never drink.
Especially if you're already prone to being a moron when you have not been drinking.
It is because they have been taught that they are victims of whitey their whole lives.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The League of Conservation Voters (LCV) today launched a major $150,000 television ad campaign criticizing Nevada Senator Dean Heller for voting to protect tax breaks for Big Oil at the expense of clean energy. The ad begins running today in the Reno market.
"In a state that is so dependent on clean energy, Senator Heller's votes are particularly egregious," said Tiernan Sittenfeld, Senior Vice President of Government Affairs at the League of Conservation Voters.
The ad highlights Senator Heller's votes against eliminating billions of dollars in taxpayer subsidies to the nation's most profitable oil companies. It also documents Senator Heller's votes against extending key renewable energy provisions, including the solar investment tax credit, which is expected to create 9,000 jobs in Nevada by 2016. The solar investment tax credit even pays for itself by creating taxable revenue, according to a recent analysis.
Senator Heller's positions are out of step with his state, and LCV urges his constituents to contact the Senator to tell him to vote to support clean, renewable energy. In April, the Small Business Majority released a poll that found that 60% of Nevada small business owners believe that "government investments in clean energy and energy efficiency have an important role in boosting our national economy and creating jobs now."
Senator Heller also recently voted to permanently block historic public health protections against mercury and other harmful air pollution from power plants. The extreme legislation (S.J. Res 37), sponsored by Oklahoma Senator Jim Inhofe, would have threatened public health by overturning the EPA's finalized Mercury and Air Toxics Standards. The EPA estimates that these standards will save as many as 11,000 lives each year, while preventing as many as 4,700 heart attacks and 130,000 asthma attacks.
Senator Heller's extreme voting record has earned him an abysmal 14% lifetime score on LCV's National Environmental Scorecard. The non-partisan scorecard is a nationally accepted yardstick used to rate members of Congress on environmental and clean energy issues. For more information, visit http://www.lcv.org/scorecard.
Documentation for the ad can be found here.

Balm vs Gloss
Is there a difference between lip balm and lip gloss? What are they made for and what's appropriate to way to use them?
The most basic difference is that lip balm is designed for function and lip gloss is designed for appearance. But they often work together for both, which is why they are so easily confused.
A balm is usually petroleum, beeswax, or vitamin E based and is intended to soften and moisturize lips. It relieves dry lips and may or may not have a tint added. A gloss is designed for shine and usually has a tint.
A quick rule of thumb for their use: don't use too much. Too much balm can trick you into dependence and too much gloss can look thick and sticky.
For the perfect balance of both moisture and gloss, you might try a product like ECO's Organic Lip Lustre. It's available in eight shades, made of natural ingredients, and has a touch of beeswax for moisturizing. Try it!
Pro Tip: We've said it before and we'll say it again. Remember the sunscreen! Many products include them by default. Check the labels and take care of your lips.

Mirage Leather Brings Back the Eighties
After a twelve-year hiatus, Mirage is back for fall 2009 with leather outerwear for both men and women.
In 1979, Mirage debuted a line of men's leather jackets that were modeled after military looks from the early part of the twentieth century. The label proved extremely popular throughout the eighties, with retail space at all the big department stores and stars like Bruce Springsteen, Robert Mapplethorpe, and Sylvester Stallone as fans. Now, after a twelve-year hiatus, Mirage is back for fall 2009 with leather outerwear for both men and women. The styles — such as belted motorcycle jackets and down-filled bombers — will be sold at Steven Alan in Tribeca and on Bloomingdales.com, with prices ranging from $350 to $1,000. The classic shapes have a slim, tailored fit and the buttery leather is softened using unique washing techniques. If the fall runway shows are any indication, leather bombers will be everywhere this season, making these chic, well-made jackets a smart investment. Preview eight styles from the line in our slideshow.
The fall collection will be available at Steven Alan, 87 Franklin St., nr. Church St. (212-219-3305) starting August 3, and on Bloomingdales.com later in the month.BEGIN SLIDESHOW

A look at Sunday night TV.
By ERIC DEGGANS
Published September 10, 2006
Gotta try
10 p.m., ABC, debuts Sept. 24.
Showbiz shorthand: Thirtysomething with siblings.
My take: Small surprise that former thirtysomething star Ken Olin is one of the producers behind this star-studded series, which crams Ally McBeal's Calista Flockhart, Six Feet Under's Rachel Griffiths, Alias' Ron Rifkin and Sally Field into a sprawling story about a bustling family with several thirty-ish children thrown into disarray when the family patriarch falters. Just watching Flockhart trying to play an Ann Coulter-lite conservative pundit is worth the price of admission.
Will it survive? Arguments between the show's creator and a third, now-departed producer have spread rumors the program is troubled. But this series airs in the plush timeslot just after ABC's hit Desperate Housewives, which helped make a phenomenon of Grey's Anatomy.
Around the dial
* The Game
8:30 p.m., CW, debuts Oct. 1.
Showbiz shorthand: Playmakers meets Girlfriends.
My take: We know this is a spin-off of UPN's Girlfriends, mostly because that series' star, Tracee Ellis Ross, appears in two forgettable scenes to bookend this black-dominated sitcom about three women connected to three pro football players. Tia Mowry leaves her twin sister behind to play a medical student torn between her boyfriend's budding football career and her own needs.
Will it survive? Airing on the CW's night of black-oriented shows, this program faces outrageously low expectations.

TripAdvisor Reviews Hotel Colonial Alamos
Travel Blogs from Alamos
Magico Pueblo - Alamos
... just as enthusiastic and added to the fun by dancing and singing along. It was great fun. Now we can understand why so many people speak so highly of Alamos. It is a little gem tucked away in the mountains!
Next day, we drove to San Carlos and stayed in the same RV park we stopped in on the way south three months before. This was our last stop before going over the border.
Colonial Mexico
... my door, peered out and a black bat flew by. I quickly shut the door and did not open it again the rest of the night as I did not want to contend with a bat possibly getting into my room. The racket continued until 11:30 p.m. I did not sleep well that night. I learned the next morning a few in our group had no power or air conditioning in their rooms for a few hours and the noise was coming from the repairmen. I think we were all glad to leave that hotel the next day.
San Carlos and the Sea of Cortez
... some pesos with you going into the country as ATM access is not good.
There was free Wi-Fi in the rooms and common areas of this hotel.
We boarded the coach and had 162 miles to our destination for the evening, Alamos, Mexico. One nice amenity on the coach was free Wi-Fi which was available when we were traveling in Mexico (but not in Arizona). One could check email or read a newspaper online while on the coach. There were a few ...
The Last Stop before the border
... the line and the timing of reaching our ultimate destination (Calgary) and what we want to see and do before that time. It has a different feel working backwards like that which is different than being pretty open ended and not really having defined times for various activities. We (Goldies' crew) do not have to be back to Calgary as early as Hazel's crew so this flexibility will likely mean we part company before too long.
On the way to San Carlos ...
Crazy man Mexican roads
... no idea how close they came to meeting their maker.
There's just all kinds of craziness happening on these roads and you never ever get to just sit back and enjoy the ride. You're always on hyper-alert.
Take today. We�re heading inland to a quaint colonial town of Alamos for one night on our way to Mazatlan--a little side trip to break up the ride our friends Bob and Donna tell us.
We've been traveling with them since Nogales or we'd really be freaked ...

Getting to know the woods:Experts weigh in on bringing youngsters outdoors
For longtime hunters, theres nothing better than getting into the woods. But for youngsters still learning their way in the wild, care must be taken to avoid calamity, seasoned hunters and state wildlife officials agree.
A week ago, 6-year-old Joseph Jo Jo McCray was found near the summit of Glastenbury Mountain in Sunderland after a night spent outdoors.
The Arlington youth was with a group of hunters, including his father, who were working together to push deer along a roughly mile-long corridor in the Green Mountain National Forest, according to Vermont State Police Lt. Reg Trayah.
Pushing, a technique used by some hunters, involves one or more walkers who drive game towards other hunters sitting in wait.
Trayah said the boy was one of three walkers who entered the wooded area off Route 7 near exit 3 sometime after 1 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 24.
He was supposed to walk along the lowest point of the hill, with an adult 75 yards to his right and the highway an unknown distance to his left, Trayah said.
But the youngster, who was not armed, didnt rendezvous with the rest of the group and after attempts to find him failed, police and other rescuers were called.
When searchers found Joseph the next morning, he was taken to a local hospital to be treated for hypothermia. Rescuers said part of the reason he survived the cold night was because he was dressed warmly camouflage overalls, long johns, heavy wool coat and a hat.
Trayah, who was investigating the incident last week, said the youth was also trying to use his wits to find a cabin in the area that he had been to once with his father.
He did everything right and survived a hard night in the woods, he said.
While the youth was blameless, Trayahs investigation was being conducted in part to determine whether any crime had been committed by the adults overseeing the boy.
Whether or not anything criminal occurred last weekend, fish and wildlife experts and hunters emphasized the importance of supervision and preparedness when introducing youngsters to the great outdoors.
Chris Saunders, hunter education coordinator for Vermont Fish & Wildlife, said he has tried to mix fun and safety while introducing his 6-year-old and 9-year-old sons to the woods.
I try to take moments to teach them things but first and foremost I want them to enjoy themselves, he said.
He said he also keeps his boys within boundaries when they accompany him on hunts. That includes staying close to him, carrying whistles and having a plan in the event they get separated. That plan, he said, is not to move.
Dont go anywhere because it will only get worse, he said. Youre more likely to get disoriented moving through the woods. Its always better to sit and wait for help.
Of course, anyone in the woods with a compass or nowadays global positioning systems installed in phones or other devices can find their way out of even the densest woods.
But David LeCours, Vermonts chief warden, said much of the states wilderness doesnt receive enough of a cellphone signal to use GPS devices and while compasses always point north, anyone inexperienced with navigation wouldnt be able to utilize them fully.
Someone who is six or seven likely doesnt possess the life skills to utilize these kinds of tools, he said.
Theres no minimum age for hunting in Vermont although a person must pass a hunter safety course, including a written test, before they can purchase a license.
Since he wasnt carrying a bow or firearm while walking with the group last week, Joseph wasnt hunting and no age limits apply to when a person can begin accompanying hunters.
My sons have been out with me since they were born, Saunders of Fish & Wildlife said. When I would go out scouting for deer my youngest spent a lot of time in a backpack.
I dont think theres an exact age thats appropriate or inappropriate to introduce a child to hunting just like their isnt an age thats appropriate to introduce them to the outdoors, he added. I just think its important that an adult stick close to a youngster.
Tom Moore, president of the Caledonia Forest and Stream Club in St. Johnsbury, said its also a good idea to keep expeditions with youngsters limited to smaller wooded areas.
If youre in an area thats surrounded by roads then you know that if someone gets lost they can walk in a straight line and come to a road.
Of course, walking in a straight line in the woods is easier said than done. More than once, Moore said, hes walked in circles himself.
But simple tricks, like tying flagging tape to branches while walking through the woods, have guaranteed that he hasnt walked the same loop twice, he said.
Mostly, its about having a plan ahead of time and knowing what to do if you get lost, he said.

TOMS RIVER - A family that exhausted many other options for rebuilding their home after Sandy is finally getting the work down thanks to a rarely-used federal loan.
One year and nine months after the storm, the Braden family house has been raised with a new concrete foundation.
They used a Federal Housing Administration 203K loan designed for rehabilitating and buying houses.
MORE: Sandy Coverage
The home must be a primary residence and interest rates can be high, but it has worked for the Bradens who are paying 4 percent interest to build their dream house.
"It's the only way we would've been able to do this because we didn't have the cash flow to do it ourselves," says Cheryl Braden. "Any construction loan wouldn't even consider it because the house was torn apart and nothing to work with."
The Braden family hopes to be back in their house by the fall.

Steady rain yesterday washed out qualifying at Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama, where the field was set by practice speeds.
It put Carl Edwards on the pole for today's race, followed by Martin Truex Jr. and Marcos Ambrose.
They ran a spirited first practice session on Friday because everyone knew the laps might count if qualifying was canceled.
"It was like a heat race out there," Edwards said.
Joey Logano will start fourth, followed by Ryan Newman and Matt Kenseth.
Smith prevails in wild Nationwide race
Regan Smith won the crash-filled Nationwide Series race at Talladega Superspeedway when NASCAR said he was leading at the final caution flag.
At least 10 cars were jockeying for position in groups of two on the final lap when Brian Vickers was spun hard into the outside wall. Smith, Joey Logano and Kasey Kahne raced three-wide to the finish line, with Kahne crossing first. But NASCAR decided Smith was leading when the caution came out and was the winner.
Hunter-Reay sets track record in Sao Paulo

Home-crowd favorite Tony Kanaan was fourth. New Albany native Graham Rahal qualified 19th.

Heading west in search of adventure in 1890, Hauberg worked at a variety of manual labor jobs, including work on a railroad construction gang in Missouri, at an Arkansas sawmill, on a Wyoming cattle ranch, as well as farm work. Searching for further education, Hauberg returned home. He enrolled in Duncan's Business College, Davenport, in 1893, graduating in 1894.
Not satisfied with his education thus far, Hauberg traveled to Northern Indiana Normal College, now Valparaiso University, Indiana, and enrolled in 1894, attending classes first in January 1895. Through the university's accelerated program, fifty weeks' study without any holidays, classes beginning at 6:30 a.m. and lasting through 9 p.m., he obtained two degrees, a Bachelor of Science in 1896 and a Bachelor of Arts in 1897. He then enrolled in the Law Department at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, working odd jobs to pay his way. Always looking for new experiences, during the summer of 1898, Hauberg and a friend from college bicycled their way from Michigan to Washington D.C. and New York, taking ships part of the journey.
Upon graduating in 1900 with a LL.B, Hauberg travelled in Europe for six months, gaining free passage overseas working on a cattle boat. On this, his first of several European tours, he visited England, Holland, Belgium, Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. In Germany he lived in Berlin for a while, working as an "extra" in the opera so he could attend for free.
After returning to the United States, Hauberg worked on the family farm until he passed the Illinois State bar exam in 1901 and set up a practice in Moline, Illinois. He stayed here until his marriage at age forty-one to Susanne Christine Denkmann on June 29, 1911. He then moved his practice to Rock Island, but by 1914 banished his law books to the attic, as the couple travelled too extensively for Hauberg to maintain his law office.
Susanne Denkmann Hauberg brought many business interests into the marriage from her family, the Denkmanns of Weyerhaeuser and Denkmann Lumber Company, and John Hauberg eventually held many executive board positions. He served as vice-president of the Manufacturers Trust and Savings Bank of Rock Island, and as chairman of the board when the bank consolidated with the Rock Island Savings Bank and the Central Trust and Savings Bank. Over a period of years he also served as president of Weyerhaeuser and Denkmann Company, Rock Island Sash and Door Works, Rock Island Lumber Company, Rilco Laminated Products Company, Rock Island Millwork, Denkmann Paper Company, and Tallahala Lumber Company. He was vice-president of the Northern Lumber Company at Cloquet, Minnesota, and Natalbany Lumber Company, as well as a director of the Rock Island Plow Company and Servus Rubber Company.
During the 1910s, Hauberg was actively involved in the temperance movement in Rock Island County. He became attorney for the Rock Island Law and Order League in 1910, and was with the National Guard in 1912 as they fought to control the riots caused by opposition between city authorities and the local vice lord. Hauberg was elected in 1914 as the chairman of the Moline local option campaign, which lobbied to pass a local law outlawing liquor sales, and eventually served as the president of the Illinois Anti-Saloon League.
Actively involved in the Lutheran Church, Hauberg was president of the Luther League of Illinois for four years. He also was superintendent of Sunday School at the 7th St. Lutheran Mission, Moline, later becoming the County Sunday School president for ten years, and finally state president for two terms. He was a member of the Board of Trustees and Finance Committee of the International Council of Religious Education, and in 1924, represented Illinois at the World's Sunday School Convention in Glasgow, Scotland.
Hauberg held great interest in community work, especially with youth organizations. He founded the United Sunday School Boys Band in 1909, a fife, drum, and bugle corps designed as an incentive for young boys to attend Sunday School. Originally formed for the boys of the 7th Street Mission, after one year widespread interest among the boys' friends caused Hauberg to make the group interdenominational. His only requirement of the boys was that they attend some church's Sunday School weekly. The band grew, and for fifteen years hundreds of boys marched in parades and gave performances throughout the Quad City area under Hauberg's direction. In addition, Hauberg planned weekend hikes for the boys, and longer summer hikes, which evolved into the Big Hike, a yearly two to three week long journey of travel and hiking, assisted by wagons or later, trucks. The boys and Hauberg would hike, climb, sleep under the stars, and cook meals over the campfire. While on their Big Hikes, the boys would attend Sunday School in the nearest community, marching in to church from their campsite. Although the USSB disbanded in 1923, the Black Hawk Hiking Club still uses the concept of the Big Hike today.
Hauberg organized the Black Hawk Hiking Club on May 8, 1920, under the name Black Hawk Prairie Club. The group changed its name to the Black Hawk Hiking Club in May 1923, to differentiate themselves from the Chicago Prairie Club. The group hiked year round and through all weather, and a hike was never cancelled. Guidelines still used for each hike include designating a leader, building a campfire at the end of the hike, and cooking hot chocolate or food on the fire. A nature enthusiast, Hauberg forbade the picking of wildflowers, nuts, or fruit on hikes. Annual Big Hikes have taken the group from east coast to west, Canada to Mexico, and once even to Switzerland. Hauberg served as president of the group for their first twenty years.
John and Susanne Hauberg were also active in the local Y.M. and Y.W.C.A.s. John Hauberg served on the board of directors of both the Moline and Rock Island Y.M.C.A.s, serving later as board member and vice-president of the Illinois State Association of Young Men's Christian Associations. He was chairman of the Illinois Older Boys Conference, a yearly event drawing thousands of boys. In 1926 the Haubergs went to Helsingfors, Finland, representing Illinois at the World Conference on Boys' Work in Young Men's Christian Associations. Susanne donated land near Port Byron known as Archie Allen's Place for a Y.W.C.A. girls' camp in 1921. This also became the site for many Hauberg reunions in years to come. John Hauberg donated land jointly to the Moline and Rock Island Y.M.C.A.s, creating Camp Hauberg for boys in 1927.
Hauberg was instrumental in the creation in 1927 of Black Hawk State Park, now Black Hawk State Historic Site. He wrote a seventy-eight page booklet, the Black Hawk Watch Tower, in support of the site and placed it before the State Senate. After presenting a lecture to the legislature, his plan received a unanimous vote of approval. A museum was erected in the park in 1937. John and Susanne furnished many of the Native American relics in the museum and later it was dedicated as the Hauberg Museum. Hauberg also established the Indian Pow-Wow at the park in 1940, bringing Native Americans from the Mesquakie tribe in Tama, Iowa, to demonstrate their customs and dances. The same year Hauberg was elected an honorary chief of the tribe and named "Ah-be-chi-ne-ma-so-ta Ma-qua," or "Standing Bear." John Hauberg's last public appearance was at the Pow-Wow of 1955, to an audience of three thousand.
Hauberg was also vice-president and board member of the Illinois State Historical Society. He established the Illinois Junior Historian in 1947, a magazine sponsored by the State Historical Society for the publication of history papers by Illinois high school and junior high students. The magazine continues today under the title Illinois History and formerly offered the John H. Hauberg Memorial Award for best yearly submission.
Other local positions John Hauberg held include auditor and thirty-seven years on the board of directors, nineteen as president, of Augustana College and Theological Seminary, from which he received an honorary degree of LL.D in 1930; trustee of Port Byron academy; joint directorship with Susanne Hauberg of her West End Settlement social institution; board member of the Tri-City Symphony Orchestra; vice-president of the Handel Oratorio Society, Augustana College; board member and secretary of Bethany Protective Association, now known as Bethany Home Inc., a voluntary child welfare agency in Moline, IL; president of Rock Island Rotary Club, the Chamber of Commerce, and the County Pioneer and Old Settlers' Association; secretary of Riverside Cemetery, Moline; past-president and director of the Chippiannock Cemetery Association, Rock Island; rank of sergeant in the 6th Illinois Infantry, National Guard; board member of the Rock Island Public Library; and president and curator of the Rock Island County Historical Society.
He held membership in the Outing Club of Davenport, IA, the Tri-City Men's Rose Garden Club, the Press Club of Chicago, Illinois Bar Association, Chicago Historical Society, Mississippi Valley Historical Society, Augustana Historical Society, and the Iowa, Wisconsin, and Minnesota State Historical Societies.
Hauberg purchased his first camera from a Montgomery Ward catalog in February 1889. He soon began taking pictures of his home and the countryside around him. By the end of his life, Hauberg had taken more than 4,000 glass negatives, 3,000 lantern slides, 60,000 film negatives, and 1,000 35mm slides. His love of the camera and his travel experiences influenced many organizations to ask him to lecture on travel, history, and other topics. It was estimated that he spoke to more than three hundred different audiences. His travel experience included mountain climbing around the world, and in his lifetime he climbed to the tops of the Jungfrau in Switzerland, Longs Peak, James Peak, Mount Audubon, the Arapaho peaks in Colorado, Haleakala in Hawaii, and Vesuvius in Italy, among many others.
Hauberg authored nearly one hundred fifty unpublished volumes of Rock Island County and Illinois history, typed and combined with photographs in binders. He published many articles and booklets on local history, as well as a compilation in 1950 of Hauberg family history beginning with his grandfather John D. Hauberg and his German heritage, entitled A Midwestern Family. In 1953, Hauberg received the Award of Merit from the American Association for State and Local History for his contributions to historical writing.
John Henry Hauberg attended the Eighth Hauberg Family Reunion at Archie Allen Camp on September 4, 1955, with fifty-seven other members of his family. He died nine days later on September 13, 1955, in Lutheran Hospital, Moline, Illinois, after an extended illness. He is buried at Chippiannock Cemetery, Rock Island, next to his wife.

Comments about 24% Option Dog Food:
I have 3 dogs (2 Cavalier King Charles Spaniels and 1 Mixed Breed). One of my Cavaliers needed a fish based food that could be helpful for allergy/intolerance issues. After researching Annamaet, I chose the Option formula. Grains do not seem to bother my dogs. It is working like a charm for my allergy girl. She no longer has scooting or gland problems, itching, licking forearms, no tearing/staining and no loose stool! All the dogs like the food, too. I do add in some high quality canned foods and I also use the Annamaet Endure supplement. The price is reasonable, too, and I love having it shipped to my front door!

New DVDs for release Aug. 27
THE GREAT GATSBY (Warner) Baz Luhrmann's flashy but empty adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's beloved novel of love, loss, obsession and the roaring 1920s, with Leonardo DiCaprio in the title role, feels like a missed opportunity. The first hour is hypnotic, from the wide shots of New York skylines to the sensory overload of the parties at Gatsby's mansion. But the hollowness of the characters makes the second half of the movie drag. With Carey Mulligan, Tobey Maguire, Joel Edgerton, Elizabeth Debicki. (PG-13; some violent images, sex, smoking, partying, brief language) ★★
AT ANY PRICE (Sony) A corner-cutting family farmer and salesman of genetically modified seed battles pressure from a competitor and the apathy of the sons he wants to take over the business. Haunting portrait of the relationship between fathers and sons as being built on a foundation of intersecting interests, from writer-director Ramin Bahrani ("Goodbye Solo"). With Dennis Quaid, Zac Efron. (R; sexual content, language) ★★★
KON TIKI (Starz/Anchor Bay) Movie re-creating ethnographer Thor Heyerdahl's epic voyage across the Pacific by raft — in a bid to prove his widely maligned theory about migration in the region — has a grand, old-fashioned feel. Beautifully photographed, the man-against-nature adventure story feels like it was made in — not just set in — the optimistic post-World War II era. Shot in English and Norwegian; the latter was a best foreign-language film Oscar nominee. (PG-13; disturbing violent scene) ★★★
PAIN & GAIN (Paramount) Not-too-bright Miami bodybuilders, eager to make a big score, kidnap a rich client and get him to sign over all his assets to them. A comedy based improbably on a true story.

Chapter VI: Pentium 4 Pipeline Architecture
Well, it's time we took a closer look at the Pentium 4 pipeline, especially, since there is hardly any detailed info about it anywhere available for public access. What we know is that the pipeline of the Northwood processor (the part after Trace cache) consists of 20 stages, while by Prescott this number is even bigger and equals 31 stage total.
Let's take a closer look at the Northwood pipeline and find out what exactly is happening at each stage:
- TC Nxt IP 1
- TC Nxt IP 2: at these two stages Trace cache finds those micro-operations the last executed instruction points at.
- TC Fetch 1
- TC Fetch 2: at these two stages up to 6 micro-operations are selected and sent to a special Fetch Queue, where the order of micro-operations corresponds strictly to the initial code. If there is a MROM-vector among these micro-instructions, further reading from the Trace cache is temporary halted, and the MROM-vector in the Fetch Queue gets replaced with the sequence of micro-operations it represents. As you remember, the Trace cache actually works at half the nominal frequency.
- Drive: micro-operations are moved towards a special unit called allocator. At this stage micro-operations do not change, they simply move along the pipeline. This stage seems to be necessary because the working frequency of the pipeline is sometimes not enough for the micro-operations to make it to the required unit within a single clock.
- Allocator: here a special unit selects from the Fetch Queue three micro-operations, for which there are special processor resources reserved. Among these special resources are positions in queues, register file elements and instructions reorder buffers. The operations prepared this way are then sent to other queues, which we will call uopQ. Moreover, as I have just said at this stage there are spots reserved in the ROB Reorder Buffer for these micro-operations, which will be helpful for instructions retirement.
- Rename registers 1
- Rename registers 2: at these stages the logical registers are being displayed over the actual physical registers. In IA32 there are 8 general purpose logical registers, while the physical registers are much more numerous: 128. This operation is necessary for the separate commands to be processed independently, without waiting for the necessary register to become free. The micro-operations order here corresponds to the initial code of the program.
- Queue: at this stage the micro-operations prepared by the Allocator are sorted out and arranged into special queues, uopQ. There are two uopQs. One of them is intended for address calculations, and another for all other uops. The micro-operations order corresponds to the program code. From the uopQs micro-operations are sent to the scheduler queues, schQ. We are going to pay special attention to uopQ and schQ later in this chapter.
- Schedule 1
- Schedule 2
- Schedule 3: at these three stages a lot of interesting things happen. First, schedulers receive micro-operations from the uopQs. Note that they strictly select the oldest micro-operations and retain their order, although from the two uopQs the micro-operations are selected independently. Besides, each scheduler receives a specific type of micro-operations and then they are placed into schQ. There are 5 schedulers in total. So, there are five schQs. The type of the given micro-operation determines the unique scheduler queue it can go to. From the schQ micro-operations are sent for execution through the issue or execution ports. There are four ports like that.

I send this the first time through e-mail the 29 september.
Can't install or remove Neo 12
I had Nereo 11 Platinium and Nero_MediaHome-184.108.40.206b_update installed. After instalation of Nero 12 I removed Nero 11 and Media Home (without trying out Nero 12 first). I started Nero Blue-ray player which claimed that an upgrade was nessesary "Run Nero Control Center" to upgrade it said. Running Nero Control Center was impossible because this program claimd, tanslated, "There was a serius fault running the program". Okay back to business, uninstall everything and start over. But unfortunately this is not possible because "another program is being installed". I removed mually all 632 entries in windows registry rebooted, but now it was Install Shield claiming that an error ocured and stopped install. I have tried to download a trial version but the result is the same.
So Meine Damen und Herren - what to do??????
It is not acceptable compromising a 3 party computer where the only purpose is NOT to compromise one self no matter the purpose is to protect ones own software.
With this said - I have been with You all the way from the start and have seen Your efforts to protect Your software more and more and at the same time made it more and more dificult for the legimitate user to upgade Your product.
We are usin YUOR product on a regular basis and therefore depends OUR business on "YOUR" software so please find a solution very soon. And we have tried NeroCleanTool184.108.40.206.exe and we have tried the recovery tool and manually remove registation information tvice.
Please do something FAST.....
Your sincerily
Bo Steffensen (:

Please delete your support.cab file from your post. It may contain things that others could use.
Did you search on kwikmedia in the Keys of the registry and delete those entries? You don't have to remove it from data and values.

Sorry, almost I am tempted to say, blame themselves. Of course, I don't do so. Debt is Nero, which (once more) are not able to provide a proper upgrade procedure. But at the latest, since the upgrade/update disaster with Nero 11, every user should know that he should be careful with installations of new versions and that he must meet precautionary measures, as e.g. backup of the complete system resp., as upgrades since are parallel installations since Nero 10, at least a backup of the existing Nero environment.
But how will a user know that the just started installing is a parallel installation? Quite simply, he should immediately after the start receive an alert such as "On your system an older version of the software was discovered. Should it be replaced by the new version?", as for example in Windows SW is common. Regardless of whether it is Nero's or other SW, if this message does not appear, so you should immediately cancel the installation and first consider the way ahead.
A parallel installation is a nonsense in any case. Because both environments have the same basic structure and they even still mutually use (double funktionality, e.g. 2 BackItUps, 2 KMs etc.), conflicts are inevitable. These problems can not be rectified by a complete (uninstall of the SW and cleanup!) removal of the new version because with cleanup also components of the old environment are removed resp. hidden components of the new version remain.
After my recent experience with attempting an upgrade of Nero 10 onto Nero 12, whose proper installation is only possible if previously the old Nero environment(s) and all remnants of Nero applications were completely removed from the system. Thats the FACIT from my extensive tests. Uninstalling of the old software alone is definitely not enough. If you would like to keep the old version available, a better solution would be to install Nero 12 on another system like I have done. If there you get difficulties with registration you should contact Nero and demand an approval for this system. They are fully responsible for these problems which the users have and not the users.
For you it means now, that you should completely remove first both versions from your system before installing Nero 12. But I think, that your system is already so badly damaged by the repair actions already happened before, that only a reinstall of the OS would create the clean starting position for the installation of Nero 12.

Please note that the Nero general clean tool only works for version 9 and earlier.
The only only thing in the registry that gave me installation problems a long time ago is the "high definition player" which is in either the data or keys. One has to be careful deleting this because I think Windows also has something related.
I think you should follow TailorSmurf's advice.

Yes, you should urgently contact the TS because it's not only your problem but of common interest. From the experience with Nero 11 it seems that with Nero 12 the same or similar problems are to expect.
In any case, I will provisionally not upgrade my Nero10 environment because Nero 12 does not fulfill the requirements of my duty list, because since in Nero 10 existing defects e.g. were not corrected. More about that coming soon in a blog on MyNero.

When you said in your initial post, "I send this the first time through e-mail the 29 september.", did you mean that you have contacted Tech Support? If so, did you receive an acknowledgement of your email?
