Sturgill Simpson's revolution is now
Kentucky native Sturgill Simpson won the Grammy Award for Best Country Album for his critically acclaimed "A Sailor's Guide to Earth." The award was presented during the pre-telecast of the awards. Below is Sturgill Simpson's acceptance speech:
"Like six years ago, I was in Utah working on the railroad, writing songs at night. My wife made me quit that job and move to Nashville, so thanks babe. My son was born; I spent that spent first year on the road, missing them, and if it wasn't for them I wouldn't have written this album, so I have to thank them. And I guess the revolution won't be televised. Thank you."

"We've been together a long time, honey. And we've never had a fight," Loretta Lynn said. "It was the greatest moment of my life when they made me a member of the Grand Ole Opry in 1962. I know she is just as happy as I was then." "Being a member of the Opry is just incredible," Crystal Gayle beamed. "It's really hard to comprehend. I have felt like a part of the Opry for all these years. Now, I'm official."
|Loretta Lynn inducting her sister, Crystal Gayle, into the Grand Ole Opry on January 21, 2017. Photo by Chris Hollo.
Crystal Gayle is an award-winning country music icon whose reign in the music business includes 20 No. 1 country hits, six albums certified Gold by the RIAA and the first female artist in country music history to reach platinum sales with her 1977 album, We Must Believe in Magic. Her her 1977 country-pop crossover hit song, Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue, became an iconic staple and solidified her as one of the top female vocalists during the 1970s and 1980s. Her list of platinum and gold was to be matched only by her awards and accolades. CMA's "Female Vocalist of the Year," for two consecutive years, she became a Grammy Award Winner for "Best Female Vocal Performance," thanks to her beloved "Brown Eyes" - a song that she today admits she has never grown tired of singing. Crystal swept the Academy of Country Music Awards for three of their "Top Female Vocalist" statuettes.
Crystal is the recipient of three "American Music Awards," voted by the nation as America's "Favorite Female Artist." Perhaps nothing sums up Crystal's career achievements as well as being awarded with a star on the fabled Hollywood Walk of Fame in October 2009. Also famous for her nearly floor-length hair, she was voted one of the 50 most beautiful people in the world by People Magazine in 1983. She is the younger sister (by 19 years) of singer Loretta Lynn, and a distant cousin of singer Patty Loveless.
Gayle also has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame near Lynn's star. In 2008, Crystal Gayle was inducted into the Kentucky Music Hall of Fame.
In August 2016, the Academy of Country Music honored Crystal with the Cliffie Stone Pioneer Award during the 10th Annual ACM Honors.

Meet Kenny Rogers in Kentucky and benefit CASA of the Bluegrass
|Kenny Rogers - Photo by Piper Ferguson
Central Kentucky residents have the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to personally meet country music icon and "The Gambler," Kenny Rogers, when he makes his last stop in Danville at the Norton Center For The Arts on April 8 as part of his final world tour, The Gambler's Last Deal Tour. In an online silent auction to benefit CASA of the Bluegrass, two exclusive VIP meet-and-greet tickets to meet Rogers backstage before his concert, along with two premium-seating concert tickets, will be up for the highest bidder's grabs for ten days on eBay.com from January 15 to January 25, 2017.
Donations are tax-deductible, and all proceeds will benefit CASA of the Bluegrass, which serves to advance the best interests of abused and neglected children in the Anderson, Boyle, Franklin, and Mercer County Family Court Systems through the training and support of community volunteers who serve as Court Appointed Special Advocates working with children, the family, and the court. Currently, there is an increased demand for CASA volunteers and training.
"CASA volunteers are flies on the wall during some of the most horrific events in a child's life, and some of the most wonderful," said Laura Guerrant, executive director for CASA of the Bluegrass. "It can be emotional at times; it can be draining at times. But the end result of knowing that you helped ensure the child's safety and permanency… that is exciting. That is the ultimate goal. There's nothing better than seeing a family reunited or a child adopted," Guerrant added.
The starting bid for the VIP package is $100, with hopes the charity can raise much more – all of which will go directly to funding the efforts of CASA of the Bluegrass. Interested donors can place their bids by visiting the homepage of casaofthebluegrass.org and clicking the "Kenny Rogers VIP Package Live Auction" button at the top, which will take them directly to the listing at eBay.com. Or they can access the direct eBay link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/-/132065329833. Final payment is processed through PayPal.
Throughout his unprecedented career, Kenny Rogers has sold more than 120 million albums worldwide and is the RIAA's eighth best-selling male solo artist of all time. The first country artist to consistently sell out arenas, Rogers quickly became a pop superstar as well with smash hits like "Lucille," "Lady," "Islands In The Stream," "You Decorated My Life," "The Gambler," and many more.
In 2015, Rogers was named CMT's Artist Of A Lifetime, a career highlight preceded by his three GRAMMY Awards, 11 People's Choice Awards, 19 American Music Awards, eight Academy Of Country Music (ACM) Awards and six Country Music Association (CMA) Awards. Last year, he announced his retirement on the Today Show and commenced The Gambler's Last Deal Tour.
"I'm really looking forward to performing in Kentucky again," Rogers told The Advocate-Messenger in a recent interview. "I love your part of the country and the people there."

Bill Monroe box set to feature outtakes of popular songs
|Bill Monroe Box Set - from Richard Weize Archives
Bluegrass music fans will enjoy hearing that very unique limited edition box set will be released of Bill Monroe recordings. The recordings for DECCA in 1950-51 from the Castle Studio have been released through the Richard Weize Archives, a division of Rockstar Records, Ltd. The recordings feature lead singers Jimmy Martin, Carter Stanley, and Edd Mayfield. Unlike other box sets, this one will include all of the outtakes of all tracks, none of which were previously issued. The box set will be released on February 24, 2017.
For musicians and careful listeners who have studied that spectacular recording for years, it's as though a new set of Stone Tablets has been found. It also means the "tape blip" we've always tolerated in "The First Whippoorwill" is now corrected, as the previously issued take was from a faulty tape dub whereas the new 1951 version is from the original master.
Accompanying the box set is a revised discography by Neil Rosenberg, and notes by Dick Spottswood (edited by Rosenberg) with recollections by Monroe fiddler Charlie Smith. Below is a track listing per cd, but note that each song has multiple recorded versions on each cd. Only 1,000 copies of this collection will be released, so be sure to order a copy. To order your copy of the box set, be sure click here to visit Rock Star Records.

Watch Sturgill Simpson perform on Saturday Night Live
|Sturgill Simpson - Saturday Night Live Guest on January 14, 2017
Kentucky native, Sturgill Simpson, exceeded everyone's expectations with his explosive performance of "Call to Arms," complete with Miles Miller's cymbal falling off towards the end of the song and Sturgill putting a stamp into the performance with throwing his guitar into the ground.
Sturgill Simpson has made a name for himself over the years. His family are originally from Breathitt County, Kentucky, before moving to Versailles, Kentucky. Sturgill has performed throughout Kentucky, as well as the world, having reached across the ocean throughout Europe with successful tours. Most notably, he recently received Grammy Award nominations for Best Album Overall and Best Country Album for "A Sailor's Guide to Earth." The album itself was done for his young son, as well as in tribute to when Sturgill spent his years in the Navy.
Miles Miller, another fellow Kentucky native, being from Versailles, has been gaining notice with his explosive drumming alongside Sturgill. Needless to say, both have placed a spotlight onto Kentucky with their unique sound. The Saturday Night Live performance showcased a sound as if you mixed Ralph Stanley, Keith Whitley, and Ray Charles. As you could say, when Appalachian soul meets the soul of New Orleans.
Watch the performance of Sturgill Simpson performing "Call to Arms" and "Keep It Between the Lines" on Saturday Night Live below:

Antonio Canova: The Seven Last Works
01/22/14 through 04/27/14
Metropolitan Museum of Art
1000 Fifth Ave. Map
This event has already taken place. Click here for the latest events.
Antonio Canova (1757-1822), the greatest of all Neoclassical sculptors, remains famous above all for the elegant nude mythological subjects that he carved exquisitely in marble. He also worked in a deeply serious, deceptively simple style. This less familiar Canova is revealed in an extraordinary series of full-scale plaster models illustrating episodes from the Old and New Testaments. Such models, used to review his compositions before they were transferred into stone, were a distinctive feature of his sculptural practice. These Biblical scenes were made in connection with a project for thirty-two low reliefs that were to adorn the Tempio Canoviano, the church he built for his home town Possagno, which later became the artist's mausoleum. He completed only seven models before his death.
Venue Description: Sun.-Thurs., 10am-5:30pm; Fri.-Sat., 10am-9pm. Recommended admission: $25.

It is difficult to say all things are well,
When the worst is about to arrive;
It is fatal to woo yourself,
However graceful the posture.
Loved heart, what can I say?
When I was a lark, I sang;
When I was a worm, I devoured.
The self says, I am;
The heart says, I am less;
The spirit says, you are nothing.
Mist alters the rocks. What can I tell my bones?
My desire's a wind trapped in a cave.
The spirit declares itself to these rocks.
I'm a small stone, loose in the shale.
Love is my wound.
The wide streams go their way,
The pond lapses back into a glassy silence.
The cause of God in me—has it gone?
Do these bones live? Can I live with these bones?
—Theodore Roethke, from "What Can I Tell My Bones?," in The Collected Poems of Theodore Roethke (Knopf Doubleday, 2011)

However, the Supreme Court ruling on the ACA effectively…Report Read More

St. Phillips Church began construction in 1756 and was finally completed fourteen years later. It was used in earnest by the coastal community of Brunswick for about a decade; it fell victim to British torches during the American War for Independence. The little river-port town the church serviced would not survive another war. The town was abandoned after falling to Union forces in the final year of the American Civil War. The area is now an archeological and national historic site lying across the Cape Fear River from the city of Wilmington. Brunswick, North Carolina USA now exists as a town only within the pages of history books and vivid imaginations.
These days find me contemplating the prospects of moving household from one side of the state to the other. I can only laugh at myself when I consider the raw nerve necessary for so many thousands who traversed the Atlantic in leaky boats to carve out a life for themselves and family in a place that bore little resemblance to the land they once called home; to encounter real life-threatening adversity, and perhaps to feel more than once that all was lost, that the world had turned against them. I can imagine how subconscious fears buried in European minds found real substance, surfacing as marauding predators and enigmatic natives, accidental injury and ever lurking disease. Whether seeking personal wealth or religious freedom, were there prevailing winds of doubt when all found themselves set adrift and wondering if God cared in the slightest or maybe didn't exist at all. Under such conditions, it isn't hard to imagine how desperate settlers might become to believe that God still remained, even if only within the scarce confines of four brick and mortar walls. The wilderness surrounding them seemed a Godless expanse for violent agendas, but there remained a refuge in which to gather and at least for a moment to know a reprieve.
How sharp might be their exclusive need for an all powerful protector as to cut away the fat that was a God of Love? How convenient was it to see devils in the stead of those indigenous people living in harmony with the land; how tempting might it have been to borrow just enough of their practices until the land could be tamed and 'the savages' made expendable? How relentless was our toil purging our new home of all insidiousness, felling the great trees to build homes and churches, and driving away the heathen hordes? Did anyone notice how the ones that remained among us seemed stricken with a sickness no 'modern' doctor could name, an illness without apparent symptoms, one that simply washed away their will to live; was it just one more of the many diseases we brought, one more less lethal to us than to them? And when the dust had cleared and the borders secured we were a land of walls. God could only be found within four walls….or so we believed. I wonder if way deep down we as a people don't believe this still; I wonder at the terrible and unknown wage we've paid to justify this belief. Regardless of this, I've come to find that for all the dark and limiting beliefs I can harbor, there is a way of letting go; there is the way of forgiving myself. There is compassion, kindness, and mercy for anyone of us who wants it. ©2012 Miles A Moody. All Rights Reserved for this written and photographic work.

2017 Exhibitions
Jill Colquhoun
Opening 22 January - Sunday 4th March
Jill Colquhount was born in 1963 in Wakefield, West Yorkshire. She grew up in south Cumbria and studied fine art textile design and painting at Goldsmiths College, London. Prior to this, she trained at Lancaster and Cleveland schools of Art and Design, where she won a prestigious Royal Society of Arts Bursary award for textile design. The main emphasis of Jills work is vibrancy, pattern, and movement in nature. To achieve this, she has developed a novel method of combining wax resist batik techniques with acrylic paint. The resulting paintings are unique in style and rich in colour. She also works in mixed media, using watercolour with other mediums, such as oil pastels, soft pastels, charcoal and inks, to produce contrasting texture and detail in her work. Jills most recent paintings have been inspired by the flower-rich meadows and verges of the Yorkshire Dales, and the windswept coastal landscapes and woodlands of south Cumbria and north Lancashire, where she lives and works. Jill has exhibited her paintings at many exhibitions and galleries, including the Torrance Gallery, Edinburgh, Troubadour Gallery, Manchester, The Lake Artists Society summer exhibition, The Gavagan Art Gallery, Settle, and is a regular exhibitor at the Silverdale Art Trail. Jill regularly paints to commission and also runs drawing and painting classes for adults close to her studio in Yealand Conyers, near Carnforth.
Caren and Peter Threlfall
Exhibiting in Weavers Cafe Gallery
This exhibition is a collection of works from Husband and Wife artists Caren and Peter Threlfall.
Peter paints in acrylics, his paintings are bright, bold and highly textured, often creating a mood and capturing fleeting moments of light on the landscape. Peter paints landscapes, mostly Cumbrian fells and also paints seascapes and more recently cross Bay walkers.
Caren is a textile artist working mostly in felt, using the fibres in a 'painterly' way and then wet felting to produce a finely felted finished piece that looks as if it were painted. Caren then machine embroiders into the pieces to give detail and texture. Most of Carens imagery is natural, she producse landscapes, seascapes and florals. Images of Meadows and meadow flowers and grasses feature a lot in her work.
Peter studied 3D Design at the University of Salford. Peter has developed his own painting style and has been selling his work successfully over the last few years. Peter paints mostly in acrylics. Bay. All are vibrant & colourful & full of texture as well as being expressive.
A career break to have a family enabled Caren to rediscover her love of art and she began to experiment with different forms of Textile Art. Caren uses wool & silk fibres in a 'painterly' way in order to create textural moody pieces that depict, landscapes, seascapes & floral designs. As well as felt, Caren works in other textile media, including, Batiks, Silk Paintings, Hand Made Silk Paper pieces & also Devore.
Celebrating Ceramics
An lovely exhibition of ceramics from Artists from Cumbra and North Yorkshire. A wide variety of work, ranging from beautiful everyday kitchen items, to stunning decorative wall art. Something for everyone, and well worth seeing. There is work from John Davenport, Frances Winder, and Jan Huntley Pearce to name but a few, from a group of very talented artists.

If Your Accountant Wants a Cuddle, Don't Be Alarmed
Read More.
The website Going Concern, which covers the accounting industry in the same way the New York Post covers Lindsay Lohan, has a hilarious article that spotlights a Big Four accounting firm's promotion of ... cuddling.
Yes, cuddling. It seems KPMG LLP has sent postcards to some of its employees under the title "Health Benefits of Cuddling." For those accountants who aren't familiar with the term, it explains: "Cuddling or hugging, a kind of physical relationship, involves holding or closing your arms around the back, waist, or neck of another individual."
It goes on: "The positive benefits of affection and cuddling are not unexpected, and it continues to be utilized by many people." These benefits include reduced stress, lower blood pressure, and better relationships and "should thus be performed by every person in the world."
With tax and audit deadlines approaching, the busy season is here, which means lots of late nights for accountants. If the folks at KPMG can't be with the ones they love to cuddle, maybe they'll just have to cuddle the ones they're with.

Google Killed the Laptop Star
February 29, 2016
Anyone who went to business school recognizes the basic tenet that you use marketing to build demand in order to sell products. Through the 1990s, there was impressive marketing surrounding laptops. Apple aggressively marketed this class, as did Microsoft, and it seemed every other brand on TV was trying to convince us we needed a new PC. PC marketing dropped off a cliff in the last decade.
Dell's Embedded PCs Take the IoT to the Mainstream
February 23, 2016
Dell on Tuesday announced the release of its first purpose-built industrial PC products for the mainstream market: the Embedded Box PC 3000 Series and 5000 Series. The products are a response to the growing embedded computing market and the lack of reliable devices, Dell said. The embedded systems market is expected to reach $23.1 billion in 2019, according to a Technavio study.
New IBM Mainframe Promises Advanced Security for Hybrid Clouds
February 18, 2016
IBM on Tuesday introduced the z13s, a mainframe computer system optimized for hybrid cloud deployment. The z13s is designed to provide advanced cryptography for mid-sized firms that need a high level of data protection. The advanced cryptography includes built-in hardware security features that effectively double the speed of data encryption and decryption over prior generations of computers.
Mattel's 3D Printer Will Let Kids Do More Than Play With Toys
February 16, 2016
Mattel last week announced that it is giving its ThingMaker a high-tech makeover by equipping it with 3D capabilities. Using the 1960s iteration, children could create small toys, such as dragons and flowers, by pouring liquid plastic into molds, which were heated and cooled. The updated ThingMaker was designed in partnership with Autodesk, which created the 3D app that works with the printer.
Windows 10 Gains on 7, Inch by Inch
February 2, 2016
Windows 10 last month had more user share than Windows XP and Windows 8, according to data released by NetMarketShare. It held 11.85 percent of the global OS market, though Windows 7 was still No. 1 with 52.47 percent. Though adoption has slowed, the NetMarketShare numbers helped validate Microsoft's claim last month that Windows 10 was active on 200 million devices.
Google, Movidius to Bring Deep Learning to Mobile Devices
January 29, 2016
Movidius on Wednesday announced that it's working with Google to put deep learning on mobile devices. Google will source Movidius' latest flagship chip -- the MA2450 -- and software development environment, and will contribute to Movidius' neural network technology road map in return. That could result in mobile devices that will be able to understand images and audio swiftly and accurately.
Wall Street Backs Off Apple
January 28, 2016
Their fears confirmed, investors were bearish on Apple Wednesday, the day after the company reported its slowest-growth quarter ever. The company's shares closed the day at $93.44, down 6.55 percent. In its Q1 earnings report, Apple prepared investors for what may come next: its weakest quarter for iPhone sales in 13 years. Even worse is its gloomy forecast for next quarter's iPhone sales.
Microsoft Prods Skylake Users to Take the Windows 10 Plunge
January 18, 2016
Microsoft last week announced that within the next 18 months, it will end support for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 on machines equipped with Intel's 6th generation Core processors, also known as "Skylake." As of mid-July next year, Windows 10 will be the only supported Windows platform on Skylake systems, and only the most critical security fixes will be released for earlier versions of Windows.
IDC: There's Hope on the PC Horizon
January 18, 2016
IDC last week reported worldwide PC shipments totaled nearly 72 million units in the fourth quarter of 2015, down 10.6 percent year over year -- the largest YoY decline ever. While shipments in Q4 were slightly higher than in Q3, 2015 was the first year since 2008 that fewer than 300 million PCs were shipped. Longer PC life cycles and economic issues contributed to the poor results.
What the PC Industry Could Learn From the NRA
January 18, 2016
One of the fascinating things about the NRA is that buyers of guns think the organization represents them, when in fact its mission is to represent gun sellers -- not gun buyers -- and certainly never gun buyers against gun sellers. Guns for consumers largely have been banned in most of the world, with the exception of the U.S., which uniquely has the NRA.
Samsung Snaps Up Snapdragon 820 Chip Manufacturing Deal
January 14, 2016
Samsung Electronics on Thursday announced that it had struck a deal that will make it the sole manufacturer of Qualcomm's flagship mobile processor. Samsung last spring began mass production of a logic chip utilizing its 14-nanometer LPP (Low-Power Plus) process in its own Exynos 8 Octa processor. That process will be used for the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 chip.
Behind the Scenes at CES
January 11, 2016
CES surprised me again this year. For a show that comes too early in the year for most buyers and companies, it still stood out as having some truly amazing things. It will be remembered for showcasing the birth of personal flight vehicles, along with a Tesla-beating car, and Ford showing how it could do what Apple couldn't. I'll fill you in on some of the back stories at CES.
Oculus VR Founder Laments Failure to Communicate on Pricing
January 8, 2016
Oculus VR founder Palmer Luckey on Wednesday said the company did a poor job of communicating the price of the consumer version of the Oculus Rift headset. However, similarly priced products, such as TVs and smartphones, cost less to manufacture than the Rift VR headset, he said. A bare-bones Oculus Rift kit wouldn't cost much less than the bundle's $599 price tag, Luckey noted.
PCs May Not Be Ready for VR's Breakout Year
January 5, 2016
Will 2016 be a breakaway year for virtual reality technology? Exhibitors at CES 2016 this week seem to think so. More than three dozen of them will be flogging their VR wares at the show, more than double the number from last year. "2016 will be the year of VR," said Brian Blau, a research director at Gartner. "That's pretty clear with all the hardware that's going to be coming on the market."
Looking Ahead to 2016
December 28, 2015
Next week is CES, and I am so looking forward to coming home from that show. It used to be a lot of fun, but it covers such a massive amount of space that just getting around takes up much of the time. Given that most folks do prebriefings if they are smart, and that most of the really cool stuff is behind closed doors and not on the show floor, every year I question the intelligence of going.
10 Things on an Apple Fan's 2016 Wish List
December 22, 2015
When your favorite consumer tech company is also the best consumer tech company in the world, and said tech company is generally a magnet for hyperbole and blind customer loyalty -- while also producing more products at higher levels of quality than ever before -- what's left to really wish for? Plenty, it turns out. I'm not talking about a new Apple car or even any special new product category.
Cook Rearranges Apple's Executive Suite
December 18, 2015
Apple on Thursday announced some personnel moves that suggest CEO Tim Cook's future vision for the company. He named Jeff Williams chief operating officer, elevated Johny Srouji to senior vice president, broadened the powers of Senior Vice President of Worldwide Marketing Phil Schiller, and added Tor Myhren as vice president of marketing communications.
Feds Give Commercial Off-the-Shelf IT a Closer Look
December 17, 2015
Federal information technology purchasing often involves large amounts of money based on the small print of acquisition requirements. Arcane procurement language seemingly can have a big impact on transactions. For IT vendors, provisions of recent legislation are prime examples of why it pays to scrutinize every line of the laws and regulations pertaining to federal acquisition programs.
27 Highly Desirable Gifts for Apple-Loving Fanatics - and 1 to Skip
December 10, 2015
Chances are, you know an Apple fanatic -- someone whose iPhone, Mac or iPad is a prized possession. If you don't know a true fanatic, you probably know a fan -- or barring that, someone who might appreciate an Apple-made gift this holiday season. To help you cut through the chaff, from one Apple fanatic to... someone else entirely, I've put together a list of the best Apple gifts.
Federal Budget Promises Stable IT Spending - Unless Politics Interferes
December 3, 2015
Just when the U.S. federal budget situation seemed about to settle down -- it didn't. With tens of billions of dollars at stake, federal acquisition managers and the IT vendors who support government agencies were breathing a sigh of relief when Congress and the White House agreed to a two-year government spending program last month. Then the wheels started to come loose.
Top 10 Open Source Developments of 2015
December 2, 2015
Open source is driving an ever-expanding market. The notion of community-driven development is a growing disruption to proprietary software controlled by commercial vendors, and the free open source software concept has become a major disruption in industry and technology. Open source is so pervasive that people overlook how it's the glue of modern communication and enterprise business models.
Will Apple Beat the Enterprise Curse?
November 16, 2015
Given that it is basically a big iPad with a better keyboard option and stylus support, the iPad Pro has been getting decent reviews. It can be classified as a first-generation product -- and as such, it does far better than most. However, there have been a huge number of companies in Apple's space that have gone under or stalled when they broadened their focus from the consumer to target IT.
Valve's Steam Gaming Hardware Hits Home
November 13, 2015
Valve this week rolled out the hardware phase of its road map from bedrooms and basements to living rooms and lounge areas with its long-awaited video game controller, PC link box and Steam boxes. Valve's road map to the living room began with Big Picture mode in 2011, continued with in-home streaming in 2014, and now includes the new Steam hardware.
Purism's Librem 13 Linux Laptop Is Sleek, Private and Secure
November 12, 2015
The combination of custom-made hardware paired with a tweaked Linux OS makes the Librem laptop lineup a unique offering with several innovative security features not offered in any other computer. The Librem line is a work in progress. The operating system just reached version 2.0 and comes preinstalled on the hardware built with the modified Linux kernel in mind.
OpenWorld's Substance Feast
November 4, 2015
For once, Oracle OpenWorld went long on substance. That's hard to do when you have so many products to discuss and Larry Ellison pontificating, but he was both under control and substantive -- though he couldn't resist taking a few shots at competitors. Oracle's team hardly ever sees SAP and IBM in deals these days, he announced, and he gave due praise to cloud pioneers NetSuite and Salesforce.
Gadget Ogling: Titanic Tablets, Eminent Earphones, and Wee Win 10 PCs
November 3, 2015
Samsung certainly is testing the boundaries of what a tablet can be with its latest device, the Galaxy View. The Galaxy View houses an octa-core, 1.6-GHz processor, 2 GB of RAM, and either 32 GB or 64 GB of storage, which is expandable through a microSD slot. That all sounds well and good, but consider the following: This Android device is an absolute monster.
HP, Hewlett Packard Enterprise Go Separate Ways
November 2, 2015
The long-awaited split of HP's personal computer and enterprise operations has taken place, and CEO Meg Whitman clearly faces the most challenging crisis of her career -- trying to save a legacy business from being buried by the sands of time and progress. HP on Monday began its first official business day as a house divided into two brand new $50 billion enterprises.
Tablets Losing Ground to Big Smartphones, Light PCs
October 30, 2015
Global demand for tablets continued a year-long slide, as shipments fell for the fourth consecutive quarter amid signs of market saturation in North America, Asia and Western Europe, IDC noted in a report released Thursday. Worldwide shipments fell 12.6 percent year-over-year to 48.6 million during the third quarter, according to IDC's Worldwide Quarterly Tablet Tracker.
Element 14 to Bake Custom Raspberry Pi's
October 29, 2015
Element14 on Tuesday revealed an exclusive agreement to offer OEM customers bespoke designs based on the Raspberry Pi platform. Raspberry Pi -- which has seen success in the educational and maker fields -- is targeting commercial manufacturers and the Internet of Things, signing up Premier Farnell through the latter's element14 brand to customize its boards.
Qualcomm Unveils Muscle Camera for Surveillance Systems
October 28, 2015
Qualcomm on Tuesday announced a muscle video camera for surveillance systems. Part of the company's Snapdragon 618 IP camera platform, it combines a six-core, 64-bit processor; next-generation graphics crunching; and embedded digital signal processing. The unit can perform advanced video analytics, which can reduce cloud processing and storage costs provide more reliable analytics, Qualcomm said.

<< From what I have garnered on this list, it doesn't work this way
in AIS. It is all types or nothing...am I wrong? I was dismayed
when I read posts on this list saying that AIS judges have voted
for irises based on catalog photos without seeing the iris
growing in gardens. This practice would leads to a photo-
graphic beauty contest....no wonder folks complain of poor garden
specimens in their own gardens. >>
An AIS judge must be trained and qualified to judge as many types of irises
as feasible, and to refrain from garden judging those types of irises for
which he is not qualified. (Very few judges in the East and Midwest are
knowledgeable on Pacific Coast Natives, for example, and therefor as a matter
of ethics do not vote the official ballot for these types of
irises....likewise, very few judges in the Southwest are knowledgeable on
Japanese irises, and do not vote on the ballot for these!! Etc, etc.)
AIS used to have garden judges and show judges, but combined the two many
years ago. It is garden judging that is important and all AIS Awards are
garden awards not show awards. These are the awards that are voted by ballot
that only goes to judges. When one judges a show one does not judge whether
the iris is a good cultivar...only if the entry is a good representation of
the cultivar.
For example, if someone enters a stalk of the iris TOBACCO ROAD in a show,
the judges might give the stalk a blue ribbon because it is an excellently
grown stalk of that iris and has been groomed (cleaned up) well....but no one
I know these days would consider TOBACCO ROAD to be a good iris these days
(Wasn't too good an iris in its own day...just used a lot for breeding brown
irises that rot in the East!).
I know of no REPEAT no AIS judge who votes for an iris based on seeing a
picture...this is absolutely wrong and I don't believe it is done. On the
other hand any AIS member (judge or not judge) can vote in the Symposium for
the most popular TB irises....and I fear some people (NOT judges) do vote for
irises they have only seen pictures of... there are not really any rules
about Symposium voting other than "do you like the iris." Hope this
clarifies. Clarence Mahan

Thanks to all members who have taken an interest in helping us to discover the whereabouts of my cousin. The great news is that due to information given by you all we have found her living alone only 3 miles away!!!! She is in poor health and suffers greatly from arthritis and uses a wheelchair. Her sisters have spoken to her and arrangements have been made for a reunion with her cousins too. It is always very sad when families grow apart for whatever reason, but with your help we have been able reunite Lydia with her sisters. Many thanks to you all for your help and assistance! Dorinda

Funny! I can discern that you are a biased person with a one-track mind.
I can listen, see, and make decisions. You are spared such botherations.
Take off those black opaque glasses and open your eyes and your mind to the REAL world. Not the fantasy world which you have had created within your mind.

When more than 40 million Americans do not have healthcare insurance, that is no scam. If any "scam" is being perpetrated upon the US public, it is by "big business" healthcare companies and businesses.
Walmart, for example, does not offer healthcare insurance to the majority of its employees, causing those expenses to be transferred to the hospitals, and then to the general public and also to the US government.
As a Christian, do you not worry about those who cannot afford, or obtain, healthcare? Have you no compassion? Your Jesus did. He provided free healthcare to all. Your Jesus was a socialist and believed in universal healthcare.

As a Christian I have pity for those that scam and lie to get health coverage. The people that are poor, disabled or both will get healthcare. I do not feel we should provide for those too lazy to work. I worked for my healthcare. I was fortunate to always have good insurance. Now, since I am on medicare.....it is not as good! Universal healthcare will affect everybody. I have talked with doctors, nurses, etc., and they do not like it. There are doctors nearing the age of retirement that are going to go ahead and retire where they may have worked 10-15 more yrs. We will have a shortage of healthcare providers and the care will be controlled by the government. Especially older people may not get the care they need. They cannot sat in an office and dictate what care I/you need. I want my doctor in control of my healthcare not somebody in an office somewhere. The waits will be long and the healthcare will be dictated. I happen to know what I am talking about.......believe it or not!
SOMEONE HAS TO PAY! You surely have heard all the hidden taxes in the healthcare bill. If you haven't, maybe you should tune in to Fox News and find out about it. Astounding!
Also, Jesus was not a socialist!
#78338 Mar 15, 2013
Perhaps, you need to take the ear plugs out of your ears! I may be biased but I also have some common sense of which you are lacking. I don't think you, of all people, need to call somebody else biased. You get a gold medal for that title.

There is a threat in what you wrote. You can crawfish now if you want, but it is on there for anyone to read.
How can I make fun of someone I don't have any proof exists. For all I know you could be bachelor, have 30 kids or anything in between. You may have never married, married 9 times or whatever. If someone says something about an alledged family member of yours, it is to get a response and you respond violently from what I see. Words are going to hurt you. This is an anonymous site. No one knows who you are or anything about you.
If you make further threats, I will report you to Topix. If your threats escalate, I will report you to the police and then my lawyer.

You can say whatever you wish about my family. You don't even know if I have one or not. Nothing you say could hurt me as a result of my anonymity. For all you know my mother was a crack addict that delivered me while she was blowing some dude for drug money behind the Stop and Rob. Then she just chucked me in a dumpster and I grew up with no family, except the rats that lived in the dumpster and a dead wet cat.
It is just words until you put a person to those words and it causes some measureable harm. That is unlikely to happen here unless you are stupid enough to break your own anonymity accidentally or intentionally.

I do not believe you know what you are talking about, regarding healthcare. You only voice your prejudices, based upon what you have been told is true -- like from your doctors and "Fox News." All of the industrialized countries in the world have universal healthcare. And most all of them have better healthcare than the US, which was rated Number 37 in a 2000 evaluation by the World Health Organization. France, for example, has the BEST healthcare in the world, and they have universal healthcare.(And Cuba was rated Number 39.)
Okay! Jesus was a communist. And he believed in taxation. Mark 12:17 (KJV) And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's. And they marvelled at him.

A descendent of American frontier hero Daniel Boone, Pat Boone has more talent and more intelligence in his little finger than you, and your liberal idiot liberals combined, do in your entire bodies!
On March 2, 2006 he received the "Lifetime Achievement Award" at the 14th Annual MOVIEGUIDE® Faith & Values Awards Gala
With more than 45 million albums sold, and 38 top 40 hits, he has been recognized by Billboard Magazine as one of the top 10 recording artists and has sold more records than any artist, with the exception of Elvis Presley. He has earned numerous awards and accolades throughout his career, and in 2003, the Gospel Music Association also honored him for his accomplishments when they inducted Pat into the GMA Hall of Fame.
Today, Pat Boone continues to be well respected by many as a best-selling author, successful entrepreneur, chart-topping recording artist, family man and legendary humanitarian, and many agree that he is a legend in American history. As a legend in every sense of the word, he has inspired the lives of millions with his positive outlook and inspirational messages.
Pat's writings are as well known as his entertainment and have been translated into multiple languages, allowing people across the world to read his works. His first book, Twixt Twelve and Twenty, was a number-one bestseller in the 1950s and can now be found in school and church libraries across the nation. Pat Boone has proven himself an inspiring and successful writer, authoring more than 15 books.
Pat has served as the National Spokesman for the March of Dimes, the National Association of the Blind and other worthy charities. As the Entertainment Chairman of the National Easter Seal telethon, Pat helped raise over $600 million dollars to help handicapped children and adults. He currently is helping build a worldwide Internet ``blood bank'' to help solve the recurring blood shortages in certain parts of the world.
Pat and his wife of 55 years, Shirley, initiated Mercy Corps, one of the most respected humanitarian relief organizations in the world. What started as a small relief effort in Cambodia, now operates in more than 22 countries and delivers millions of dollars in food and basic necessities to those in need.
Pat Boone is an accomplished man of integrity, loyalty and outstanding leadership.

Tree of Souls by Howard Schwartz
Book DescriptionOnly one of the world's mythologies has remained essentially unrecognized-the mythology of Judaism. As Howard Schwartz reveals in Tree of Souls, the first anthology of Jewish mythology in English, this mythical tradition is as rich and as fascinating as any in the world. Drawing from the Bible, the Pseudepigrapha, the Talmud and Midrash, the kabbalistic literature, medieval folklore, Hasidic texts, and oral lore collected in the modern era, Schwartz has gathered together nearly 700 of the key Jewish myths. The myths themselves are marvelous. We read of Adam's diamond and the Land of Eretz (where it is always dark), the fall of Lucifer and the quarrel of the sun and the moon, the Treasury of Souls and the Divine Chariot. We discover new tales about the great figures of the Hebrew Bible, from Adam to Moses; stories about God's Bride, the Shekhinah, and the evil temptress, Lilith; plus many tales about angels and demons, spirits and vampires, giant beasts and the Golem. Equally important, Schwartz provides a wealth of additional information. For each myth, he includes extensive commentary, revealing the source of the myth and explaining how it relates to other Jewish myths as well as to world literature (for instance, comparing Eve's release of evil into the world with Pandora's). For ease of use, Schwartz divides the volume into ten books: Myths of God, Myths of Creation, Myths of Heaven, Myths of Hell, Myths of the Holy Word, Myths of the Holy Time, Myths of the Holy People, Myths of the Holy Land, Myths of Exile, and Myths of the Messiah. Schwartz, a renowned collector and teller of traditional Jewish tales, now illuminates the previously unexplored territory of Jewish mythology. This pioneering anthology is essential for anyone interested in the Hebrew Bible, Jewish faith and culture, and world mythology.

Books By Author Howard Schwartz
Tree of Souls, Hardback (October 2004)
Demonstrates that there is a flourishing mythology in Judaism, which first emerges in the Bible and continues to evolve in all subsequent phases of Jewish literature and lore. This book identifies and collects nearly 700 of these primary Jewish myths. They are drawn from a range of sources including the Bible, and the Jewish apocryphal.
Jerusalem of Gold, Hardback (March 2004)
Collects some of the finest timeless tales of Jerusalem from a wide variety of sources, ranging from the Talmud and midrash to Jewish folklore and mysticism. These retellings are beautiful and meaningful, fantastical and true, inviting us to honor the traditions and wisdom of the sacred city.
Reimagining the Bible, Paperback (July 1997)» View all books by Howard Schwartz
This work explores how each successive phase of Jewish literature has drawn upon and reimagined the previous ones. Arguing that there is a continuity in Jewish literature which extends from the biblical era to our own times, this serves as a guide to the history of that literature and its genres.

Naomi Campbell confesses
On the cover of Interview, she admits her past mistakes
She admits she's made a lot of mistakes in her life: "I can't say I'm a perfect person. But I know I have to learn from my mistakes," she says. Especially because when someone like Naomi Campbell makes mistakes, the whole world knows about it.But she gets upset when people make judgements about her character, and she's not even really convinced of being an "important" person.
Naomi talks to Interview magazine, which features her as the cover model with an extensive, provocative photo editorial by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, who show her beating up a naked, bloody model. As the cover exclaims, Naomi has lead "a controversial" life of darkness and light, and doesn't feel like the victim of hostility. "If people still want to work with me, it means they still want to spend time with me."
In the interview, she spoke affectionately about her supermodel colleagues from the Nineties, Christy Turlington and Linda Evangelista: "At the beginning of my career, some designers didn't want to use a black model like me. But Christy and Linda said that if they didn't hire me, they wouldn't work either. And that's something I'll never forget. It's important not to forget what people have done, no matter how many years have passed. I always remember."
