Charles Lloyd @ JVC Jazz
June 29, 2008. Posted by Joshua Jackson.Add new comment | Filed under: charles lloyd quartet, charles simic, club midnight, dead stars, emily dickinson, empty tables, hall acoustics, humane environment, jason moran, jazz fans, Live Music, miss emily, neon lights, Notes, office upstairs, poet laureate, reuben rogers, russian thinkers, silent partners, sneaky suspicion, sole customer, white films
On the final evening of the JVC-New York Festival, I sauntered down to the
Charles Lloyd Quartet performance at The Society for Ethical Culture. This
seems like the perfect place to see Lloyd perform, on principle alone. His
unabashed jazz ethos and spiritual bent create an immediate and humane
environment. The hall acoustics, however, are a total non-starter for the
sound of live jazz. A massive wash of drums and indistinct piano notes.
The opening act was our nation's poet laureate, Charles Simic.
"Club Midnight" is some pretty powerful verse:
Are you the sole owner of a seedy night club?
Are you its sole customer, sole bartender,
Sole waiter prowling around the empty tables?
Do you put on wee-hour girlie shows
With dead stars of black and white films?
Is your office upstairs over the neon lights,
Or down deep in the dank rat cellar?
Are bearded Russian thinkers your silent partners?
Do you have a doorman by the name of Dostoyevsky?
Is Fu Manchu coming tonight? Is Miss Emily Dickinson?
Do you happen to have an immortal soul?
Do you have a sneaky suspicion that you have none?...
The quartet started behind Simic, and proceeded to play with the musicality
that jazz fans have come to expect from Lloyd's ensembles. Jason Moran is
the pianist, Reuben Rogers the bassist, and Eric Harland the drummer. Their
trip through Lloyd classics like "Requiem" and "Monk's Dance" were well
received, as was the newer material from the quartet's recent release, Rabo
de Nube. I had to really work hard to hear the music, but the payoff was
rewarding nonetheless.

Read Liner Notes »
36 Crazyfists is evidence that there's a beauty in isolation, a newfound purpose from even the worst of tragedies, and that heavy metal and hard rock music doesn't have to be all doom and gloom to have power.
Like the Jackie Chan flick from which they take their name, 36 Crazyfists brings an action-packed attack with a smile, injecting an infectious enthusiasm into their unique blend of crushing rhythms and soaring melodies. All of the rage and venom you'd expect is intact, of course, but there's a depth and dynamic that is too often absent from the style that is inherent to everything 36 Crazyfists is about.
Now an integral part of the ever-expanding Ferret Music family, 36 Crazyfists is set to enter the studio with guitarist Steve Holt at the helm to record the followup to the fan-beloved Rest Inside the Flames. New songs promise to further expand and develop their sound, with the band's patented twists and turns which already earned them favor amongst fans of bands like Thursday and Thrice ensuring that none of it sounds contrived, copied or otherwise rehashed from other bands.
"Anchorage, Alaska has a small music scene," explains vocalist Brock Lindow. "Pretty much everyone knows each other. Growing up there shaped us to be aware of the beauties of isolation and creating your own self. We had MTV just like everyone else, but as people, we adapted to dark winters and summers where the sun never went down. That in itself created so many amazing rituals and memories of the season."
From the band's beginnings in 1994, they set out to create honest music that draws from many places without sounding like any other band in particular. After their original bass player died in a tragic automobile accident, the band relocated to Portland, Oregon and continued on, ever more determined to make their music heard.
The guys in Bay Area metal band Skinlab alerted the A&R department at Roadrunner Records to 36 Crazyfists, who released their first album, Bitterness the Star, in 2002. A Snow Capped Romance followed two years later, supported on tours with Killswitch Engage (whose early releases were issued by Ferret) and Poison the Well (who are now on Ferret).
Rest Inside the Flames delivered tenfold on the promise of the first two albums, showcasing Lindow's impressive range alongside the skillful and fluid playing of Holt, drummer Thomas Noonan, and bass player Mick Whitney. Throngs of fans across Europe and North America have embraced the band. Andy Sneap is scheduled to mix the band's as-yet untitled Ferret Music debut, which promises to be turn even more heads than before.
"I hope people can look at 36 Crazyfists as a group that came from a place where no one gets out of musically, who saw the world and made music that was creative and in some form, unique," says Lindow. "And I think the greatest thing alongside that is to gain the respect of your peers."

Weibrecht gears up for Lauberhorn
In alpine skiing action this week, Lake Placid native Andrew Weibrecht is in Wengen, Switzerland, getting ready for the famous Lauberhorn downhill race on Saturday.
Weibrecht is hoping to have a strong 2013 campaign after battling some illnesses that slowed him down late in 2012.
Lauberhorn racing begins Friday with the super combined race.
This a big event for skiers because the Lauberhorn downhill is the longest and oldest downhill ski race on the World Cup calendar. The first race took place in 1930 with Switzerland's Christian Rubi taking first place.
The race is expected to draw about 2,400 people at the finish line and a large media contigent of 365 journalists from 17 countries. Last year, there were 59 competitors in the downhill.
It doesn't look like fellow Adirondacker Thomas Biesemeyer of Keene will ski in the Lauberhorn because he's recovering from a serious crash that took place in a downhill race in Bormio, Italy, at the end of last year. Biesemeyer was able to ski away from the accident but has serious bruising. He's expected to return to racing once fully recovered.
A video showing Biesemeyer's crash is available on the Internet. It was recorded by NBC's Universal Sports Network.
Another video you don't want to miss if you are an alpine skiing fan follows U.S. alpine skier Ted Ligety in the 36 hours leading up to his impressive giant slalom victory in Alta Badia, Italy in mid-December.
Saranac Lake resident Doug Haney earned assistant producer credits for his role in helping make the documentary happen. Haney is a press officer with the U.S. Alpine Ski Team.
Local skiers will remember that Ligety was one of the U.S. Ski Team members to visit Mount Pisgah in March 2010 as part of a fundraiser for the village-run hill. Ligety was joined by about a half-dozen team members, who were all in town for the U.S. Alpine Championships being held at Whiteface Mountain.
The video has aired already but will will be played again on NBC Sports Network at 1 a.m. on Sunday, Jan. 20, following the network's NHL opener.
Ski jumping
Saranac Lake's Peter Frenette and his teammate Anders Johnson are in Japan, looking to compete in the upcoming World Cup in Sapporo. Qualifiers are Thursday with competitions taking place Friday and Saturday.
For Frenette, this marks a return to where he got his first World Cup action. In 2011, he took 18th and 33rd in Sapporo. If he qualifies, this would be his third World Cup competition there.

Customer Reviews:
Rated 3.4 out of 5�by 5 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5�by JumperOfRopes Not bad for money, but... I have only had the rope a few weeks now. It is definitely not bad for the money spent. However, the bearings do not seem to do a great job of keeping the rope from twisting as I jump. Can't complain too much though as it is an inexpensive rope. May 20, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5�by Otis Gets The Job Done Sure you can go out and buy an expensive jump rope that will last a long time but this thing gets the job done just fine for most users. If you use this rope on concrete or something that is going to chew it up then I recommend wrapping some kind of tape around the part that hits the ground. You can tear it off and replace it as often as necessary and never worry about buying another rope again. July 30, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5�by BCPT22 Snapped in the center I had this jump rope for a few months and used it a couple times a week. One day at the gym, the PVC snapped in two in the center while I was using it. Seems like poor quality to me. July 19, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by aef good, affordable Gets the job done for a reasonable price. Definitely a little too long for me but works just fine after putting a loose "loop" knot in the cord March 1, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by The Italian Stallion AWESOME cheap and gets the job done....dont buy any other one....youll pay too much August 8, 2012

I want simple and to the point when it comes to emoticons. I want a thumbup that can be used sarcasticly, I want a thumbdown with some emotion and I desperately want a hand on the forehead "doh" emoticon.
Stupid people are here now, I can stop swearing if I can battle them with emoticons.

Stocks to Watch: OfficeMax, Office Depot, Dell
NEW YORK -- OfficeMax(OMX) and Office Depot(ODP) are in advanced talks to merge, people familiar with the matter told The Wall Street Journal.
The deal is expected to be stock-for-stock, though precise terms couldn't be learned, the newspaper said.
A deal isn't done yet, and talks could still fall apart. But an announcement could come as early as this week, the people told the Journal.
Both retailers have been hurt by a weak economy and stiffer competition from companies such as Staples(SPLS) and Amazon.com(AMZN) .
Dell(DELL) , the personal computer maker, is expected by Wall Street Tuesday to post fourth-quarter earnings of 39 cents a share on revenue of $14.12 billion.
Dell reached a deal earlier this month to go private in a $24.4 billion deal.
Does Michael Dell Have the Cash to Quell a Shareholder Revolt?
Herbalife(HLF) , at the center of a public fight between Carl Icahn and Bill Ackman, is expected to post fourth-quarter earnings Tuesday of $1.03 a share on revenue of $1.05 billion.
Herbalife Circus: Expect More Entertainment
Medtronic(MDT) is expected by analysts to post fiscal third-quarter profit of 91 cents a share on revenue of $4.03 billion.
Nabors Industries(NBR) is projected to report Tuesday fourth-quarter earnings of 29 cents a share.

Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: Looking Abroad for Growth
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Higher taxes and disarray in Washington has caused 2013 to become the exact opposite of 2012, Jim Cramer told "Mad Money" viewers Monday. Cramer said all the stocks that investors fled from in 2012 are now the hot commodities of 2013.
Cramer said January usually sets the trends for the year, and this year the trends are to stay away from everything domestic and stick with big international companies that can offer growth.
This certainly is true of China, he said, where the iShares FTSE China 25 (FXI) , a fund he owns for his charitable trust, Action Alerts PLUS, has been on fire. The trends in China are so strong, he said, that even stocks like Coach (COH) , Starbucks (SBUX) and Wynn Resorts (WYNN) are all working again.
Aerospace is an international business, noted Cramer, as are autos, which is why Boeing (BA) and Honeywell (HON) are up, along with Ford (F) and General Motors (GM) .
Biotechs have been held back by Europe, Cramer said, but no more, as Celgene (CELG) and Allergan (AGN) have proven. Even Banco Santander (SAN) , the poster child for the European debt debacle, is now investable.
So where does that leave things here in the U.S.? Cramer said that with Washington a mess and people now earning less in their paychecks, pickings are slim. He said housing-related stocks and anything that goes into a home still works, as does some financials and technology. However, for the most part, it's harder to make money in the U.S. when people have less to spend.
Playing Matchmaker
With the housing market on the mend, Cramer played matchmaker and suggested that Masco (MAS) should merge with Fortune Brands Home & Security (FBHS) to create a housing powerhouse. He said while both companies will likely have a strong 2013, they'd do even better as a combined company.
Why would a Masco Fortune be a match made in heaven? Because while both companies have already restructured themselves and taken out a ton of costs, a combined company could take out even more, eliminating duplicate functions and dramatically increasing margins by also getting better pricing on materials.
Next, the combined company would also have more leverage over its two main customers, Home Depot (HD) and Lowe's (LOW) , and could negotiate better pricing and shelf space.
Cramer said he also likes a merger based on international exposure as the combine company would have a solid foothold in China and other key markets around the globe.
Cramer last recommended both Masco and Fortune a year ago and since then Fortune has risen 72% while Masco is up 48%. He said a combined company would be able to head even higher given how early we are in the U.S. housing cycle.

OCZ Technology Group, a leading designer of high-performance solid-state drives, has announced the latest Z-Drive R3 PCI-Express SSD solution for enterprise and OEM clients. The Z-Drive R3 updates the existing lineup with greater performance, reliability, and design flexibility with a new compact footprint for server applications, and is the first SSD to officially deploy OCZ's proprietary Virtualized Controller Architecture (VCA) technology.
Creating a 'virtual super controller,' OCZ's VCA pools the resources of two or more NAND flash controller interfaces, MCPs, storage processors, and a physical interface complete with customizable features and interface options that eliminates the need to re-spin expensive silicon. VCA is able to address NAND flash in an innovative way through the use of a massively parallel array, eliminating bottlenecks by increasing both read and write speeds up to the theoretical interface limit while keeping access latencies to a minimum. With VCA, IT architects can now take advantage of enterprise-rich features that are not available when utilizing traditional raid cards with an array of SSDs in their servers. With the Z-Drive R3, which makes use of VCA technology, clients can now overcome this obstacle and deploy a single solid state drive that not only delivers exceptional bandwidth but also beneficial enterprise features including Trim, SMART monitoring, native command queuing (NCQ), tagged command queuing (TCQ), power fail management, and wear-leveling.
The Z-Drive R3 takes the Serial ATA/SAS bottleneck out of the equation and by implementing PCI Express 2.0 x8 interface and multiple SSD processors to deliver up to 1GB/s transfer speeds and 135 thousand 4k random write IOPS for maximum productivity in an professional IT environment. Available in up to 1.2TB capacities using a variety of NAND flash, this drive features a half-height and half-length form factor to maximize its application potential for servers and racks. OCZ will also introduce a new full height card that offers even higher performance and up to 250 thousand 4k random write IOPS.
OCZ's complete range of Z-Drive R3 is now available in SLC, MLC, eMLC NAND flash in 150GB, 300GB, 600GB, and 1.2TB capacities to fit the demanding needs of today's storage networks, data centers, and supercomputers.
"The Z-Drive R3 lineup of PCI-E SSD's delivers superior performance and flexibility to enterprise clients who require high bandwidth coupled with high transactional performance," said Ryan Petersen, chief executive officer of OCZ Technology.

"God D*** America, U.S. to Blame for 9/11"
--Rev Dr. Jeremiah Wright, Obama's pastor for twenty years
"Americas chickens... are coming home... to ROOST!"
Skip to comments.Jesse Jackson, Wright 'arranged' Obama marriage
Posted on 10/04/2012 8:10:10 PM PDT by MtnClimber
As a young single woman, Michelle Robinson was a fixture in the home of civil rights leader Jesse Jackson, who along with Rev. Jeremiah Wright arranged her marriage to Barack Obama, according to sources in Chicago who know the couple.
Jacksons daughter, Santita, is still one of Michelles best friends.
It all relates back to Trinity and to the Jesse Jackson orbit of blacks here in Chicago who gave Obama legitimacy and helped him establish his identity as a black man, Robyn explained.
The political left wanted to push a black to the presidency, and the key operatives in the Democratic Party decided long ago it wouldnt be Jesse Jackson (Sr.). Then Jesse wanted it to be his son, but Jesse Jr. has serious drug and mental problems that the world knows about now. These were also known about in the past, and Jesse Jr. was never going to be the black president. So, the political left then chose Obama.
Obamas retelling of an event most spouses remember precisely for the rest of their lives has caused confusion. Exactly when and how did he first meet Michelle Robinson? ....
I remember being at this function at Reverend Wrights house, one of the many parties Wright had, in 1996, Hazel recalled.
I went to the room where all the coats were on the bed, because I wanted to leave. I was surprised to find the light in the room was off and the coats were on the floor, she said. Then I realized there were two men hugging and kissing in there. One of those men was Obama. This was long before anybody knew Obama, before he became famous like he is today.
Hazel has been telling this story in Chicago since 1996.
Cushy job
(Excerpt) Read more at mobile.wnd.com ...
This can't be good. Should've known about this long ago.
The "Low Down Club" was to marry off gay men to women noone else wanted.
Looking like a duck to me.
We thought that Obama distance himself from the Rev. Wright who says some very provocative things.
Click to the link to reaad more.I had to cut most out to get down to the WND posting length requirements!
I can't think of any heterosexual couples doing the deed at somebody else's house, during a dinner party.
Sounds like some one has it in for Barry?
Well then who fathered MO's children?
bump and book marked
"God D*** America, U.S. to Blame for 9/11"
--Rev Dr. Jeremiah Wright, Obama's pastor for twenty years
"Americas chickens... are coming home... to ROOST!"
Bathhouse Barry, macdaddy...MMM MMM MMM!
Talk about " ridin' dirty"!!!
Maybe the Clinton's.
Obama's Foreign Policy:
I'll have Moo Goo Gai Pan.
They can and they certainly will. That's what they do.
More like he's had to sell his house to pay for legal fees connected with the Federal investigation being conducted. Members of Congress have a Cadillac health plan don't they? I'm sure that all of his medical bills, along with his treatment at the Mayo Clinic are being paid by that health plan.
WND also says a 'deal with Iran' to stop uranium enrichment is coming as the October Surprise.
They didn't keep their promise of nuclear development for nuclear power purposes so why would anyone trust them NOW?
You sure about that? After that horrible debate performance last night the race card was all that MSLSD had to play today. I must have heard the term "dog whistle" about half a dozen times.
I didn't say that they weren't going to try and yell Racism....
Please ping your lists.
"Well then who fathered MOs children?"
"I got a special treat for ya' this evening, a young man that you all know as Joe the Policeman from the "What's Going Down" episode of "That's My Momma". I want you to put your hands together, and welcome him to the stage. Big round of applauds for Jackson Heights own, Mr. Randy Watson, YES! Randy Watson!"
How much STFU money is Rev. Wright getting this election? I think it was $150k last time. Surely, worth at least that much this time.
Rev. Wright's silence is worth $0 on Nov. 7.
Right you are. The Congressional health insurance plan is pure gold. We didn't hear about Sen. Tim Johnson having to sell his house or any property to pay his medical bills when he had a stroke requiring surgery and long term hospitalization and rehab which were likely in the range of Jackson Jr's.
If these stories are true, it's going to be devastating to Michelle to realize he never really loved her. Of course, no narcissist can ever really love another. All the goodies in the world can't offset that.
Jessie Jackson or Rev. Wright?
You got that spot on!
It appears Ubama graduated from the couch to the bed.
You would think the faggot lobby would be anxious to "out" the first homo president..
I wonder why they're not on it?
I think it's very, very, verrrrry possible that Obama is gay. However, I don't believe the story about the two men "hugging and kissing" on the bed. Ahem. I have known some gay men. And two gay men in a dark bedroom at a party would have been DOING it, or one of them on his knees already, or something far more direct. The "hugging and kissing" would have lasted about a minute. There isn't much pussyfootin' around when it comes to gay male activity.
No, not really. I have read all about this homosexual sex ring before zero was even elected. The one women talked about this right after zero became a senator-—then all the sh*t got covered up quickly and a few gay guys got shot and no one listened to the mother of one of the 'gay" black guys saying he was in thick with zero and she thought it was a hit job. No one listened to Larry Sinclair either.
Just the Chicago politics and with the internet-—it keeps popping up here and there. People are starting to see through the emperors clothes now. I believe every piece of this article.....but then, I believed it before 2008 too.
A 'fixture?' That means Je$$e was banging her.
OBAMA PHONE YouTube...

Whoever did this rap mix had to be a pro in the business. Its done to perfection. Check out the animation of Obama queerly dancing to it at the end.
Moose'ell is of course Oscar, Barry... Felix.
In my crowd, they usually headed to a closet for a quicky (not THE closet!)
If that's the case, she must have had money! Jessee usually has better tastes in women.
The key to being a successful rat is in knowing when to abandon ship.
Thanks MtnClimber.
Could have been artificial insemination. I remember an interview someone had with Obama where he couldn't remember one of his daughters name.
It appears that he prefers Sum Yung Gai.
Muslims are very comfortable with arranged marriages.

Click through to about 1:30 to see for yourself. I can't decide what's more shocking about this video—how much Waits seems like The Joker or how awkward of an interview this is.

then we stop there. Why? I'll tell you why, because that is the part that suits our needs most. Like pulling a bart simposon and quoting "Do unto others" When we only quote the first half of the verse we can say that verse means not to condemn anyone else. But people really should read the whole chapter....
1Judge not, that ye be not judged.
2For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
3And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
4Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
5Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and
then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye
6Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.
7Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
8For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
9Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?
10Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
11If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
12Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
13Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
15Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
16Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
17Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
18A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
20Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
21Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
24Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
25And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
26And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
27And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
28And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:
29For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes
okay i highlighted some portions that i thought were interesting....
I don't know any biblical languages but it seems to me the way Jesus was using judge is not how we take it to mean today. Cause Jesus clearly goes on to tell us that we can take the mote out of our brother's eye if we take the ones out of ours first, (granted He also said there was no point cause they're probably just pigs that won't appreciate Godly counsel or wisdom)
Also He goes on to tell us basically we HAVE to judge others, lest we be decieved and then tells us
to "judge" them, so how is it wrong to :judge" people?
I cringe every time I hear someone quote Matt 7:1, it is so misquoted
i think matt 7 means just the opposite of what most people believe
the underlined portion is very alarming as well... to say many "Christians" will findf out they weren't christians at all, but just fooling themselves
It pretty much says the same thing in greek as it does in English. The Emphassis is on whe method of Judgement. One must judge according to God's standards and nto those set by man. The is what it is in Greek in a nutshell

The Taylors' farm grass-fed beef and CSA keeps a community eating local.
�We believe in agriculture as a way of life and that good farming is a fundamental tenant of any society. As farmers it is our job to feed our community.��Max and Kerry TaylorThe greenhouse at Provider Farm is filled with burgeoning seedlings. In the warmth of the hothouse, 50,000 tiny plants flourish: onion, leek, scallion, celery, celeriac, radicchio, beet, chard, tomato and fennel. Max and Kerry Taylor lease their land from three different owners and on 12 acres grow 50 varieties of vegetables and melons. But they specialize in grass-fed beef, raising their Devon cows on fresh air, and a 100 percent grass fed diet. See the benefits of grass-fed beef below: Their farm in Salem, Conn., is aptly named; the Taylors see themselves as �Providers� for their community. �Our goal is to run this farm for the rest of our lives and then some. We want this farm to be viable far beyond the immediate future,� says Max. The Taylors follow organic practices and operate the farm in accordance with basic biodynamic principals, viewing their farm as a whole living organism. �Soil is our most precious resource and the foundation of our farm. Healthy soil makes a healthy farm, says Max. Their CSA (community supported agriculture), which is the backbone of the farm, runs from June until October and employs a �mix and match� system through which their members (200 shareholders) choose their own produce. The shares are valued in an atypical way. Rather than basing shareholder price on farm market prices, which include market fees, transportation and packaging, Max and Kerry base the cost on the total farm budget, without including a profit margin. This means the members get the fresh food at a price lower than at the typical farmer�s market or CSA. �People want quality and they want value and they want choice. You really want people who are committed to your farm,� Max explains. �If something happens�if one of the members loses his or her job or if their portfolio dives�and they start looking for ways to save money, that CSA share they�re spending $600 on a year is a big chunk of change. If we can position ourselves the way I want to, when that happens, we�re the first check that they write.� To get a taste of what's cooking at Provider Farm, try one of the recipes below. �Story by Jocelyn Ruggiero, a food writer in Madison, Conn.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (11 votes).
In short: Nice countryside lots of places to run and a few water tunnels In full: I liked this event for my first trail type run. It was about 6-7 miles but had great stretches to run plus ropes, tunnels , nets and mud. Nice medal and t shirt and well organized. Thanks Date of review: March 22, 2013
In short: Cant wait for next timeIn full: I did this race in Sept, I wasn't sure what to expect as had read reviews from earlier races but I have to say it was great, fantastic event and I'll be coming back for more, this was so much fun.Plenty of mud and water and giant man made spiders web. Really nice medal plus a T-Shirt and only £23 - BargainDate of review: November 9, 2012
In short: BEST RACE OF THE YEARIn full: Better than Hellrunner, loved it. be back again next time. thank you, great medal and T-Shirt tooDate of review: November 9, 2012
In short: Cracking time, great funIn full: Idid this race in Sept, it's my favourite race of the yearDate of review: November 5, 2012
In short: A run you wouldn't forget in a while.......... In full: Well I 'll start on a good note, the venue was lovely.But unfortunately organisation was terrible. The race started 50 mins late. Then we ran for about 2 miles, all the first 30 runners had turned back, on the course, because there was no marshal, or no sign to point us in the right direction, and we had come to a T- junction. No one knew where to go. Managed to back track, and find the correct turn. This happened again towards the end of the course. I came out and ended up in the carpark, and had to walk round the fencing, and cut through it, to get to the finish line, while other runners came from a different direction. Again poor marshalling, and no distance markers. I was told by a couple other runners, that the same had happened to them. Goody bag, as promised at the end..... but a banana, a bottle of water, and a couple of advertising leaflets, it consisted of. Not very exciting.... :-( T- shirt that it said you get, never existed.Woah and all that cost me £29!! Was pretty disappointed, as website looked amazing. I feel abit ripped off. Date of review: May 8, 2012
In short: Big let downIn full: Where do I start with this one?I felt there were some fundamental basics over looked.Poor directions, later start, lack on information and poorly organised route.It was a lovely area but ultimately it was a letdown.Full Reviewhttp://spiketraining.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/race-review-demon-run-bracknell.htmlDate of review: April 23, 2012
In short: Had great potential but not worth the money.In full: The other reviews have summarised the organisation shambles, although I suppose you can't help it if your car gets stuck? But some communication as to what was going on would have been nice! Good job it was sunny and not chucking it down though.The way markers could have been clearer, but after the first wrong turn it was ok, you just had to keep an eye out. Some people went the wrong way towards the end, but many other people didn't have a problem following the arrows! :)But for about £30 it wasn't really worth the money considering the poor organisation, tiny tiny "event village", a below par and very bog-standard medal, and just a banana in your goody bag! No t-shirt as it said on RW.Plus considering other muddy runs I've done, this one was the least muddy, with a big long bit in the middle with no mud at all. I overheard some other runners in Swinley Forest saying that they could run the route and not be charged, just avoid the obstacles, and considering there weren't many this wouldn't be hard. I think the route needs more offroad sections through the forest and not just along the dirt tracks.Big thank you to all the young marshalls you were very polite and good at telling you which way to go and warning you of holes, posts etc. I was sure they had to deal with a lot of very fed up runners, so I made sure to thank them as I ran past.On a whole I will have to hear of some vast improvements to even consider doing this race again. There are currently too many better ones out there. The only plus side was the small field, so after the first two obstacles you didn't have to queue!Date of review: April 23, 2012
In short: a good fun 10mile off road run with a few teething problems. potential to become an excellent race.In full: The positives: a great course (can never go wrong with swinley forest). took in a good undulating route, using trail & forest paths. Obstacles were fun: cargo nets over a muddy & a deep wet ditch; a couple of long boggy ditch wades; a pond wade; forest hill zigzags; and u muddy tunnel to crawl thro... All entertaining in their own special way... lots of mud!!the negatives: not enough route markers, arrows or marshals (most runners going wrong way at least once), swinley forest is v easy to get lost in. Bottle necking three times in 1st mile, maybe a staggered start next time. Misleading start address on website (but runner were emailed correct info pre race), which lead to long start delay. And no t-shirt as noted on RW.All of which are easily remedied for next time.Good fun run, enjoyable despite problems. well done to the organisers. a special thanks to all the cadets around the course for putting up with the runners.Will be back in september.Date of review: April 23, 2012
In short: Back to the drawing board.In full: A real shame. This had the potential to be thoroughly enjoyable. Swinley Forest is beautiful and a lovely place to run however it was severely let down by some major mistakes and some minor grumbles.We arrived at 9.20 only to realise we were at the wrong entrance. Many others also had the same problem. There were no signs or marshalls. We eventually found someone in the cafe who helped. We drove a further 10 minutes or so and it was not easy to find. There were only 2 toilets and no loo roll. The start was delayed by 50 minutes and once running there were limited signs or marshalls at key points. I was in the lead group and ran the wrong way like many others. This was so deflating and once I got to the first net I had lost a lot of time for no reason. The course was great with some nice obstacles but it would have been better if they were more evenly spread out as there was a while in the middle where there was no obstacle. It would also have been a good idea to have larger obstacles as there was a lot of conjestion at points. This was also the case near the end when the 2 races converged.There was also poor signage at the end, lots of runners had gone the wrong way and went through the car park.The series could be good but some serious changes need to be made. The cost was a lot for what you got. The goody bag could have been better and i do not think a t shirt is incentive enough to return. Date of review: April 22, 2012
In short: Fun run through fantastic forest paths (and waist deep mud!!) but let down by organisationIn full: Things didn't start too well with a 50 minute delay to the start after having us ready on the starting line 30 minute late. However, things started to pick up once we started with the first mile putting us through our paces as we clambered through deep muddy puddles, what could best be described as waist deep bogs and thick undergrowth...I must admit I started to wonder how we would get round 10 miles of this terrain...But just as we settled in to running we were met by the front runners coming back towards us as a lack of signs at a key intersection meant most of the race went off in the wrong direction! This then led to serious queueing at some of the subsequent obstacles (cargo net crawl, more waist deep wading). I'm surprised not to have seen more seriously annoyed runners who got held up by the slower runners who missed the detour! Thereafter the race was a lot of fun in fantastic surroundings although there were more lost runners in the final few miles - I saw at least 2 groups running to the finishing line via the car park!!All in all still an enjoyable Sunday morning run and I loved all the obstacles, however, organisation has to be better than this when you are paying nearly £30 for the privilege.

Course Design
In his paper, "Integrated Course Design", L. Dee Fink notes two approaches to course design: The most common is the content-centered approach, sometimes called the "List of Topics" approach. The teacher works up a list of important topics, often using the table of contents from one or more textbooks, decides how much time to give to each topic, and how many tests will be given. The advantage of this approach is that it is relatively easy and simple; the disadvantage is that it pays virtually no attention to the question of what students might learn beyond content knowledge, the type of learning most easily forgotten.
The alternative is to take a systematic, learning-centered approach to designing courses. The heart of this approach is to decide first what students can and should learn in relation to this subject and then figure out how such learning can be facilitated. Although this approach requires more time and effort, it also offers the best chance of ensuring that students have a significant learning experience.

this was one of those meals that was so simple to prepare using mainly pantry staples that when i took a bite, I was completely floored by how delicious it was. not to mention it took almost no time at all to make.
i knew i wanted to use the spaghetti squash i had pre-roasted- it's a delicious and light grain and gluten-free way to enjoy a pasta like dish with all the added benefits of folate, potassium and vitamins a and c. but i was getting sick of all the classic options like classic tomato sauce and pesto (i know, i surprised myself with that one) so i needed a new and fresh sauce, but with minimal ingredients on hand.
as i was scouring my cupboards for inspiration, my eyes fell upon the curry jar and suddenly i knew my inspirations. this is a dish reminiscent of chana masala but with spaghetti squash instead of the rice. and believe me, the two compliment each other perfectly. the light sweetness of the squash combined with the savoury and spicy goodness of the curry really hit one out of the park (weird, i never use sports metaphors…. i have made this 3 times since and i never regret it, even with all the leftovers to eat.
this dish only takes about 20 min to make if you've pre-roasted your squash making it the perfect "healthy in a hurry" dish. i always like to pre-roast my spaghetti squash when i have some spare time, that way it's ready to go when i want it. there's nothing worse than being desperately hungry and having to wait for your squash to cool before scraping out the insides!
i hope you enjoy this nourishing and warming meal- you don't need loads of time or ingredients to eat deliciously :)

ingredients (4 servings)
- 1 onion, diced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 1/2 tbsp curry powder
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon

In my last post, I discussed my project of building a data base of the descendants of Ulrich Winegar. I started with data that my father had collected, plus what I have added in the last few years. Now, Sandra and I are working to add information from the Winegar Tree, a magazine produced during the late 70's and early 80's. We have added data from the first two volumes and uploaded our file to Ancestry.com. If you are an Ancestry subscriber, you can can reach this file by clicking the link below. If this fails, contact me and give me your email address and I can give you guest privileges to this file. The file is called Ulrich Winegar Descendants-August 2010. The file contains some information I don't think is available elsewhere, as well as a number of pictures and stories from this blog. As I add new information from the Winegar Tree, I will upload new versions. We are working in Family Tree Maker which is much more user-friendly for entering large amounts of data.
Descendants of Ulrich Winegar Data Base
One Response to Descendants of Ulrich Winegar Data Base
I am to believe that Ulric Winegar is my 8th great grandfather. I will let you know why i think this then if anyone can prove otherwise that would be appreciated as the information i have is from other trees which are not always accurate. I do know for a fact that my great grandfather is Arthur James Bryan the rest is from documents and other family trees. Arthur's mother is Annie Jane Bryan (nee Lasher), her father is Sylvester Nathaniel Lasher, his father is Turpin Green Lasher, his father is Andreas Lasher, his father is Johann Gerhardt "Garrett" Lasher, his mother is Elizabeth Lasher (nee Winegar), her father Ulric Winegar. Please let me know if any of this information does or does not match any of the Winegar Family in this article.

Topic: Rails backup
Hello, this is something I've been giving some thought.
Lets say that in my database.yml file, I am connected to a certain database for development and production. Is it also possible to run backups of all the data in this database periodically to another database?
Say at a certain time of the day?
And is it possible to make this smart? i.e don't update everything only new data.
Any suggestions?

Nvidia Corp. on Wednesday unveiled a core-logic for netbooks and nettops that is compatible with Intel Atom processor and which promises to substantially improve user experience on ultra low-cost personal computers (ULCPCs). Along with the GeForce 9400M chip, Nvidia also launched the so-called Ion platform to lighten the adoption of the new novelty by device makers. But Nvidia's road to ULCPCs may be rocky.
Nvidia GeForce 9400M is a single-chip core-logic with DirectX 10-compatible GeForce 9-class graphics processor inside that also supports dual-channel DDR3 memory, PCI Express 2.0 x16 and x4 links, Serial ATA, USB, Gigabit Ethernet and so on. As all modern Nvidia GeForce integrated graphics processors, the novelty features hardware-accelerated high-definition video decoding and post-processing as well as supports various outputs, such as dual-link DVI-I, D-Sub, DisplayPort or HDMI.
Nvidia hopes that considerably better features and potentially higher performance of its core-logic will attract attention to its Ion platform. But while Nvidia is right about tangibly better feature-set and performance, power consumption of the GeForce 9400M (18W) is more than two times higher compared to Intel's own platform (Intel 945GSE + ICH7-M consume 6W + 1.5W in maximum case scenario). Moreover, Nvidia's GeForce 9400M requires expensive DDR3, whereas Intel's platforms for Atom processors rely on affordable DDR2.
Netbooks and nettops usually come with small screens, without optical disc drives and without possibility to run demanding applications because of very low performance microprocessors. Hence, end-users will not be able to enjoy video games, high-definition movies or anything else that they can do on their desktops despite of the fact that Nvidia core-logic will be inside.
According to media reports, Intel sells its Atom processors bundled with supporting chipsets, hence, the market of supporting third-party core-logic is absent these days. Additionally, it is unclear whether Nvidia has legal rights to produce and sell Intel Atom-compatible chipsets.
At this point, according to some media reports, Nvidia wants to persuade designers of netbooks and nettops that its GeForce 9400M will make their systems radically more appealing for demanding users and force the world's largest chipmaker to open up the Intel Atom platform.

Trump takes charge: Sworn in as nation's 45th president
Police investigating baby's death
ESCANABA – Officials in Texas and New Mexico are piecing together evidence related to the death of an El Paso baby whose parents were arrested in Escanaba on probation and AWOL charges this past weekend.
The body of five-month-old Jackson Farrey was located buried in a desert area in New Mexico, according to police authorities who made the announcement Wednesday. The child and his family were reported missing Friday from their El Paso home where a suicide note was found.
Jackson's parents – Jeffrey Farrey, 22, and Jenna Farrey, 20, – were arrested Sunday in Escanaba where police located them and their 19-month-old son, Blake, at the Eagle's Nest Motel. Blake was placed under the care of the local Child Protective Services.
Jenna Farrey was lodged in jail on a charge of being a fugitive of justice for violating her probation on a 2012 conviction for abandoning a child with intent to return. Her five-year probation sentence did not allow her to leave the state.
During a proceeding in Delta County Circuit Court on Wednesday, Jenna Farrey waived her right to an extradition hearing, giving El Paso authorities the right to take custody of her. In the meantime, she remains lodged in Delta County Jail.
Jenna Farrey was awaiting an extradition hearing to be scheduled in district court. She opted to waive her right to a hearing Wednesday during a proceeding in circuit court. Circuit Court Judge Stephen Davis presided over the case in the absence of District Court Judge Glenn Pearson.
Following the court's approval of the waiver, Jenna Farrey questioned her court-appointed attorney, Don LeMire, about what's going to happen with her car and her personal belongings.
Assistant Prosecutor Philip Strom informed her attorney that law enforcement is holding those items as evidence which may be returned to her at a later date.
Jeffrey Farrey was lodged in jail Sunday on a federal military charge of being absent without leave from Fort Bliss Army Base where he is an army specialist.
According to Delta County Prosecutor Steve Parks, he said it is his understanding that Jeffrey Farrey was released Tuesday to the custody of military authorities on an AWOL arrest warrant.
The public affairs office at Fort Bliss did not return a call from the Daily Press requesting information on the status of the soldier.
According to El Paso police spokesman Darryl Petry, law enforcement found the remains of a child believed to be Jackson Farrey, the missing son of Jenna and Jeffrey Farrey, on Wednesday. The body was buried in a desert in Otero County, New Mexico, about 30 miles from El Paso.
Law enforcement had been searching the desert area since Tuesday night. The child's body was said to have been found buried in a culvert about one quarter mile off Highway U.S. 54.
About a dozen local, state and federal agencies were involved in the search for the child including the FBI, El Paso Police Department, El Paso County Sheriff Department, Otero County Sheriff Department, New Mexico State Police, and U.S. Border Control.

Recruiting International Faculty and Staff
Note About Paper I-94 Cards
No more paper I-94s. Specifically, CBP plans to automate the Form I-94 issued at air and sea ports of entry. CBP will no longer issue arriving travelers a paper I-94 form. Instead, after scanning the traveler's passport, CBP will create an electronic I-94 and merely stamp the passport with an admission stamp containing the date of admission, class of admission, and expiration date.
Recommendation: Although CBP will no longer issue a paper I-94, many employers and government agencies, such as the Department of Motor Vehicles and the Social Security Administration, require a paper version of Form I-94 to verify lawful status and employment authorization. Thus, International Faculty and Staff Services recommends that all nonimmigrant travelers to the U.S. ALWAYS retrieve and print out a paper version of their arrival information from www.cbp.gov/I94. The information should be available online within 24 hours after arrival.
Additional information, including the rollout schedule, is available at http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/travel/id_visa/i-94_instructions/i94_rollout.xml
If you have any questions/concerns, please contact Jo Fenrich, Human Resources, 920-424-2279 or email firstname.lastname@example.com
Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986
The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA) makes it unlawful to knowingly hire or recruit an unauthorized alien or to continue to employ one who has become ineligible to work. The University of Wisconsin Oshkosh is required to verify any individual's employment authorization and identify and attest under penalty of perjury to the verification on the I-9 Employment Verification Form.
University appointments are subject to the Federal Government requirement that non-U.S. citizens have valid status while employed at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh. The applicant is responsible for remaining in appropriate status and for notifying the Human Resources Office when further action is needed. The department chair/director is responsible for informing the new employee of this provision. All letters of offer include the statement, "this offer is contingent upon verification of identity and work authorization as required by the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986." All letters of offer to international faculty or staff will include the phrase, "this offer is contingent upon receipt of legal immigration status," or "this offer is contingent upon furnishing information relative to your immigration status."
What to ask during the interview process
Although alien tenure-track appointees should be in H-1B status, the visa/immigration status in which people are brought to the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh can be determined only after the decision has been made to recommend that an offer be extended. While it is considered an act of discrimination to discuss someone's immigration status before a decision has been made to offer them employment, there are two questions that may be asked (either during the interview or while an offer is being negotiated) that will help in understanding what may need to be done in order to obtain employment authorization:
"Are you currently authorized to work in the United States?" (if asked, must be asked of all applicants interviewed)
"Are you a US citizen? If not, what is your current status?" "Is that authorization permanent or temporary?"
If the answer is "no" to the first question or "temporary" to the second, UW Oshkosh will need to make an application to Immigration and Naturalization Service in order to obtain work authorization for that individual.
Before offering a continuing/ permanent appointment to an international applicant, it is recommended that you discuss the appropriate term of appointment with the Human Resources Office by calling 424-2279.
Upon appointment to a position at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh, the newly appointed faculty or staff member should contact the Human Resources Office so appropriate steps can be taken to obtain work authorization before the contract begins.
Types of Status
There are many types of non-immigrant status; however, the most common that you might encounter in the recruitment and selection process are the following:
F-1 Status
F-1 Status with Practical Training
Spouse of International Student (F-2 Status)
Postdoctoral Researcher (F-1 Status)
Exchange Visitor (J-1 Status)
Student on Academic Training Exchange Visitor (J-1 Status)
Professor, Researcher, or Short-Term Scholar Exchange Visitor (J-1 Status)
Spouse of Exchange Visitor (J-2 Status)
Non-immigrant Worker (H-1B Status)
Please note: the terms of employment for the H-1 visa are very specific. When submitting a prevailing wage to the Department of Labor (DOL) and the H-1 petition to USCIS, the exact department, title, salary, duties, and dates of the position are included. If there is a significant change in the terms of employment before the end of the H-1 approval period, a new H-1 petition must be filed. The H-1 visa holder is not authorized to accept employment from another employer without filing an additional H-1 petition or applying for Employment Authorization Document (EAD) and Advance Parole; this restriction includes working for a different department within UW Oshkosh.
TN or TC Status for Canadian Citizens
Permanent Residency
The Role of Immigration Attorneys
"Wisconsin state law prohibits state agencies and their employees from retaining an attorney without the approval of the Governor. Department chairs/directors should not therefore, sign any UW Oshkosh sponsored temporary or permanent immigration petitions that have been prepared by a private immigration attorney." UW System employs attorneys who have expertise in immigration matters, and they can be consulted through the Human Resources Office.

Day Care
Oral Question Period
11:55 a.m.
Paul Mercier Terrebonne—Blainville, QC
Mr. Speaker, a study released yesterday reports that the Quebec day care model is markedly superior to the Canadian one.
Yet the Minister of Finance, with his wall to wall taxation, is penalizing Quebec parents who only pay $5.00 a day for day care.
How can the Minister of Finance accept a taxation policy which continues to penalize Quebec parents, when the Quebec system is the one on which all others ought to be modelled?
Day Care
Oral Question Period
11:55 a.m.
Jim Peterson Secretary of State (International Financial Institutions)
Mr. Speaker, if the question refers to a credit for charges that were not paid, this would be unreasonable.
Aboriginal Affairs
Oral Question Period
11:55 a.m.
Louise Hardy Yukon, YT
Mr. Speaker, Tombstone Park in the Yukon was negotiated through a land claim with the Tr'ondëk Hwëch'en but mining claims were staked within the park boundaries. While in the Yukon the minister for DIAND made a clear statement opposed to mining in the park saying it was very difficult to comprehend how we could have mining. Yet last week the licensing process went ahead as if the minister had said nothing.
Will the minister act now to protect the ecological integrity of this park and the land claim agreement?
Aboriginal Affairs
Oral Question Period
11:55 a.m.
David Iftody Parliamentary Secretary to Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development
Mr. Speaker, we are well aware of the discussions and negotiations ongoing in Yukon with the treaty people and the mining interests. I have had a briefing on these particular matters and in fact met with representatives of the mining industry from in and around that community in the territory of Yukon.
We are continuing to negotiate on those specific matters that were brought forward. The minister has given his assurance to all those particular parties that we will continue to sit around the table to resolve third party interests, the interests of first nations people and the people of Yukon generally.
Tobacco Products
Oral Question Period
11:55 a.m.
Progressive Conservative
Greg Thompson Charlotte, NB
Mr. Speaker, in 1994 the government caved in and abandoned Canada's anti-smoking initiative. The reason was because of the smuggling of tobacco products. Now the government is planning to significantly raise tobacco taxes once again to do the very thing it abandoned in 1994.
Is the government prepared to put money into the enforcement side? Or, does it have a plan at all? Or, will it simply flip-flop on this issue as it did in 1994? What plan does it have to deal with smuggling?
Tobacco Products
Oral Question Period
Jim Peterson Secretary of State (International Financial Institutions)
Mr. Speaker, I think the hon. member has hit the nub of the problem.
We saw a number of years ago, when the prices were very high, how in some markets more than 50% of the supply came from contraband. Our position has always been that we would increase the taxes on cigarettes just as quickly and as much as we could, commensurate with the problem involving smuggling.
This is what we are doing. This is what we are doing in collaboration with the provinces. Enforcement is a very big concern.
Oral Question Period
Hec Clouthier Renfrew—Nipissing—Pembroke, ON
Mr. Speaker, I unequivocally support parts of Bill C-17 which would reduce cruelty to animals, but I would ask the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Justice to assure the House that this legislation will not egregiously affect those who are involved in business and animal related industries, including fishing.
Oral Question Period
John Maloney Parliamentary Secretary to Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada
Mr. Speaker, Canadians have called upon parliament to increase the penalties with respect to cruelty and the people who would purposely injure animals.
I wish to assure the House and the country that normal and legitimate practices, such as hunting, fishing, agricultural works and animal husbandry, which are legal today will be legal tomorrow when the bill is passed.
Presence In Gallery
Oral Question Period
The Deputy Speaker
I would like to draw the attention of all hon. members to the presence in the gallery of the hon. Joseph Handley, Minister of Finance, Minister responsible for Workers Compensation Board, Minister of Resources, Wildlife and Economic Development for the Government of the Northwest Territories.
Presence In Gallery
