Interview: The Bitteroots; Playing at Eddies Attic 5/18!
After closing out an action-packed year in support of the band's sophomore album, "Central of Georgia," The Bitteroots are settling down to write and record release No. 3, an as-yet-untitled record sure to showcase an even more mature and polished group of musicians and songwriters.
The Decatur, Georgia band, which features the soulful and powerful vocals of Laura Dees and rich chord voicings and tasteful, moody solos of Dan Shockley on guitar, is gearing up for a 2013 that will be a year like no other in the band's history. And of course, Bill Taylor's thumping, funky bass grooves, and the dynamic, in-the-pocket drumming of Mike Davis will be helping provide a foundation for the journey.
We got to speak with the Bitteroots themselves to get the insides scoop on this tasteful groovy group. Check out what they had to say!
What is the strangest thing a fan has done for you or at your show?
Laura: Someone actually gave me a poem with a lock of hair attached to the paper…it was one of the few times I was ever speechless.
Mike: The last gig we played, somebody had a costume horse head on the whole time. Still not quite sure what that was about.
Dan: In Bad Tölz, Germany while singing a lady dancer spun around and hit my mic with her arm. The mic smashed into my mouth making a huge sound, bloodied my mouth and chipped a tooth.
Bill: We played on the Decatur Square last year there were hundreds of people in pirate costumes. I was having a difficult time navigating my gear through the crowd of pirates, so several of the pirates grabbed my gear and took it to the stage for me. So I had a huge pirate roadie crew (with peg-legs and eye patches) – that's just how I roll… Arrrr..
What is the funniest moment you have had as an artist?
Laura: There have been so many…but one that sticks out – a drummer I worked with in another band, actually fell off his stool during a show. Not only did he fall off his stool, but he fell off the platform as well.
Dan: Watching a cymbal crash down on our singer/guitarist with a guitar chord cutting it in half right at the most opportune moment.
Bill: We were playing in this show for the Guinness World Record for the longest continuous concert with 343 bands. We had an hour set early in the morning. We were almost done with our set, when all of a sudden, this sound starting coming out of the monitors like something we had never heard before. Somewhere between a dying cat and nails on a chalkboard. It just wouldn't stop. Everyone is looking at each other, its getting louder and louder. The crowd is looking at each other; the bartenders are heading for the doors. We finish the song and look back at our guitarist Michael, who only has 4 strings remaining on his 6-string guitar. His motto: "The show must go on!" We somehow managed to finish the set, doubled over laughing hysterically.
Do you have any pre-show rituals?
Mike: I just try to limber up a little and stretch my arms and legs. Playing can be a bit of a work out for me.
Dan: I like to have a glass of wine with my wife.
Bill: So I just realized that we don't really have any pre-show rituals. So starting with the Eddie's Attic show our new pre-show ritual will be eating 8 (not 9) hard boiled eggs and then 7 Irish car bombs, 20 synchronized jumping jacks, and then review our 2009 individual income tax returns, then saying three Hail Marys and reciting at least two Henry David Thoreau poems from memory. That should get us ready for the show!!!!!
If you could describe your music in one word, what would it be?
Laura: Honest
Mike: Energetic
Dan: Creative
Bill: Driving
How do you connect with a crowd?
Laura: Throwing them cash encouraging them to stay!
Mike: Being a drummer, I just try to keep the train on the tracks, especially if the crowd is digging where we're going.
Dan: I like to smile at them and wink once in a while.
Bill: We just go out and try to have fun! If everyone is smiling and having a good time, both on and off stage, that's when everything comes together.
How did you decide on your band name?
Laura: The rock-train known as "The Bitteroots" were already well established before I came on board. I'll leave this one for the guys…
Bill: My good friend, Erik Weston, actually named the band. He had told me a few years before forming this band that The Bitteroots would be an awesome name. So when it came down to naming this group, I threw out the name for consideration, and everyone liked it.
What is the best way to write music?
Laura: With close friends and those you trust.
Mike: On a rainy day in the middle of nowhere.
Dan: I like to think of a situation, record music for the mode of the situation and then work on lyric.
Bill: I don't know if it's the right way, but we typically get together and work out the music first, then send Laura away, and she comes back with these awesome lyrics and melody lines. We then put them together and you have The Bitteroots…

Downtown already ruined
The method of parking meter payment is irrelevant. Through a series of terrible decisions, Spokane built skywalks, instituted one-way streets and allowed parking downtown to be both expensive and inconvenient. Add to that the need to maximize parking revenue to satisfy bond payments to the Cowles Company (owner of The Spokesman-Review) and you have a perfect storm.
Far from being "vibrant," the downtown core is sterile and dying. Neither Chicago nor New York has used skywalks despite winter weather. One-way streets speed cars through the city center, which is the opposite of what downtown merchants want.
Private parking is dominated by a single company leaving prices too high, and 60 percent of downtown traffic looking for parking. Coeur d'Alene is vibrant and provides visitors easy, inexpensive parking.

(LOS ANGELES) — The much-publicized spat between American Idol stars Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj may have all been a publicity stunt.
The Hollywood Reporter quotes a source saying, "The Mariah-Nicki diva battle is exactly what Fox executives wanted all along," suggesting the two women were in on the joke. "No one's really worried. They know the parts they're supposed to play."
However, another insider claims "Nicki went off and threatened Mariah."
There was no encore between the two on Wednesday, according to TMZ.com. The website's sources say Carey and Minaj acted in a civil manner towards one another during another day of auditions in Charlotte, N.C.

Im going to make my own one for the rear end.Im going to make it so it is transverse mount like the rear spring with two large arms.Im just going to get my local brake and clutch shop to make the friction pads and use a valve spring and bolt to keep the friction.
look up macsratz.com they make and sell some. all it is, is a adjustable shock that gets its resistance from the tightening of a bolt between washers and the arm. the tighter you tighten the bolt the more the resistance.

Can you send some pics of the friction shocks? I like the looks of them, but how do they ride? I'm not seeking a cadillac ride, but I would like some cushion. I'm not as young as I used to be.
Im running them on my 35. I did take them off the back axle because they bounced alot. But they work great on the front. You can run thicker oil in them and that helps. I like um..:)
Friction Shocks don't use oil.
you guys must be talkin about two different things here. Funny thing is i know what you both mean.
friction shocks, I need to look into that a bit more I think. More pics are always helpful BUT so is a simple forum search.
Looking for those in the rat rot scene in the central valley rat rod | rat rods setting up our first build of the year as well.
Google Larry Grobe's shop at www.voodoolarrykustoms.com
Larry has a set of friction shocks on his VooDoo Diablo dodge.
I believe he made them also.

Niners Advance to NFC Title Game

San Francisco is back in the NFC Championship game.
The 49ers advanced to next Sunday's title game against the Seahawks in Seattle with a 23-10 over Carolina.
Colin Kaepernick threw one touchdown pass and ran for another score in the win as the Niners advanced to their third straight conference title game.
Kaepernick completed 15 of 28 passes for 196 yards while Anquan Boldin had eight catches for 136 yards and Frank Gore ran for 84 yards on 17 carries for the 14-4 49ers.
During the regular season the Niners and Seahawks split two games.
The 49ers held Panthers quarterback Cam Newton in check, intercepting him twice and sacking him four times while stopping the 12-5 Panthers twice on a 1-yard line.
Today's second game features the Broncos at home to the Chargers.
This is the third meeting of the season between these two AFC West clubs. They split the two regular season games they played.
The Chargers earned their ticket to the game with a 27-10 road win over the Bengals. This marks the first time these longstanding rivals are meeting in a postseason game.

FMLY Fest, run by and in celebration of the FMLY collective, has taken place at least once a year, across the U.S., since 2009. One of the fest's organizers is MJ MJ Records' Andrew Todryk who we interviewed last month, and who also makes music under the moniker Vacation Dad.
Vacation Dad is one of the artists on the FMLY Fest compilation tape (because every artist playing at the fest is on the tape), which the organizers released today in an effort to raise some green for the first-ever Minneapolis-based FMLY Fest. You can get a limited edition cassette of the compilation by donating to the Fest's Indiegogo page. Download or stream it all below and watch an interview about the fest with Todryk after that.

Tools For a RestorationPosted in How To on May 23, 1998 Comment (0)
As any gearhead knows, tools are just too cool. And when you get to use cool tools on a Jeep, the joy can be nearly transcendant. That's the way it was when a catalog from The Eastwood Company hit our desks the other day, and, at the risk of this story sounding like an advertorial, we just had to show you the stuff that's available from Eastwood.
When you're in the middle of a Jeep restoration project, the sheetmetal rebuild can be the most difficult part, since many of us have limited experience with bodywork. Recently, when we tackled the side panels on a CJ (see "Sheetmetal Marvel," in this issue), we had no idea what to expect, but knew we could figure it out. We had a spot-weld cutout tool from Eastwood, and that made life great, but it sure would've helped if our toolboxes had had the rest of the goodies Eastwood offers.
Take a look at this brief list of just some of the stuff Eastwood has. Get the catalog before you tackle your Jeep's bodywork and maybe Eastwood tools will help you to finish the Jeep faster. Next time we do any metalwork, we know where we can get a selection of tools to help us out.

Natalie Ford was punched in the face and had her head slammed against a doorframe before she stabbed her partner, a court has heard.
Ford is charged with murdering her partner Gary Marshall at Orewa, north of Auckland in January last year. She has pleaded not guilty at the High Court in Auckland.
Crown prosecutor Paula Carter told the court that Ford and her partner had been drinking with a friend at a house in Orewa, north of Auckland.
The pair had been in a "volatile" relationship for between three and four months after meeting on Waiheke Island.
"Both had issues with alcohol. It was a relationship marked by physical and verbal abuse with Ms Ford giving as good as she got," Ms Carter said.
She said a witness, Simon Turner, was walking past the house where Mr Marshall and Ford had been drinking.
Ms Carter said he will describe hearing angry voices and seeing Ford collecting what appeared to be a bag of clothes off the lawn.
"He could hear female and male voices yelling from the address. He could hear Mr Marshall yelling: 'get out' and 'piss off'."
He said he also saw a make-up bag land on the lawn before Ford started yelling obscenities.
"And in Mr Turner's words, 'that's when all the s**t started'."
Ms Carter said Ford slapped Mr Marshall before he punched her in the face, grabbed her hair and slammed the back of her head into a doorframe.
She said Ford used both her hands to scratch Mr Marshall's face and drew blood before the pair went inside and continued yelling.
"The Crown says the accused suffered no further injuries."
Ms Carter said Ford went into the kitchen and got a knife.
"She stabbed Mr Marshall so hard that the knife went into his chest to the full length, right up to the handle."
Mr Marshall stumbled into the lounge room where he collapsed and died.
Ms Carter said Ford put the knife in the kitchen sink, washed some blood off and called an ambulance.
A jury of six men and six women have been empanelled to hear the case which is set down for two weeks and will hear evidence from 39 witnesses.

Derek has been an Android fanatic since the beginning but has been involved with the Android Community since 2010. He has had many Android devices which include T-Mobile G1 (1st device), MyTouch 3G, Google Nexus One, T-Mobile G2, Samsung Galaxy Tab and currently owns a Galaxy Nexus GSM, Amazon Kindle Fire, Galaxy S 2, Google CR-48. Derek started my own Android project as Co-Founder of Andranon.com but have then decided to join Android Activist to continue covering Android News & Applications. He is always in the mood to talk tech, android, and sports so hit him up.

James Baxter is a 4th Year Computer Science Student based in Edinburgh, Scotland. Involved in Android since the good old days of the G1 he's rooted and bricked more phones than he'd like to admit. Describing himself as a "Fanboy of Innovation" he doesn't care what the logo on it is as long as it's new and interesting.
Mike was instantly drawn to Android with the release of the G1 and HTC Magic which became his first phone. Drawn by the allure of open source and community, he quickly learned about rooting his device and applications to improve its performance Since then he has only owned Nexus devices for their ease of root level access and the ability to run the latest versions of Android via ROM or stock. He has owned a Nexus One, a Nexus S 4G, a Nook Color, and a Nexus 7.
He started writing for Android in 2011 at Android Activist and started writing for Rootzwiki News in April 2012. He was married in October, 2012 and lives in Richmond, Virginia.
Max took the dive into the Android scene back when he exchanged his Motorola Razr for an OG Droid back in 2010. From there, he started avidly keeping up with all of the latest Android news and development. However, it wasn't until later that year when he got a Droid X that he really started to get into the ROMing scene. His first ROM, FlyX by Birdman, still holds a special place in his heart.
Last year, he started his own Android blog, Android Allies. This went well for a while, but now Android Allies is inactive and Max devotes his Android writing to good ol' RootzWiki. Now, with Galaxy Nexus in pocket and Nexus 7 in hand, he strives to bring all the newest ROM news straight to the readers.
Shane has been intrigued by Android ever since he first heard that Google had picked up the little known company that was behind the OS. He remembers thinking what an awesome new world it was going to be once Google got into the mobile device market, and he still thinks that. Shane has been running Android since the days when he had to run it from an SDcard off of his HTC Kaiser II and was ecstatic when he was finally able to flash a working ROM to the old beast. He currently sports an HTC One on T-Mobile (with a Nexus S for backup) and is looking forward to all the cool new devices coming out soon.
James Cushing is a Google nut, who has wired his home and life to a number of Android gadgets. He is also the chief editor of TheGadgets.net, and has been writing his whole life. He currently owns the T-Mobile G2X, Acer Iconia A500, Huawei S7 Slim, Sony Google TV, and MyTouch 4G Slide. His first droid was the MyTouch 3G Slide, upon which he first learned about rooting, theming, and the like. He also reviews devices for Verizon Wireless.
I have been an Android fan since I first purchased an LG Ally. While not the most powerful Android, I quickly found out that by rooting and flashing custom ROMs and kernels, the LG Ally could be pushed to the limits and made to be the quick little phone it should always have been.
It was through the Ally community, that I started beta testing ROMS for Punisher/Frunisher ROM Development Team.
I am currently an HTC Thunderbolt owner.
Prior to joining the RootzWiki News Team, I worked as a Writer/Reviewer for AndroidActivist.org.

However, his love of Android came when he bought a G1 and saw the potential of Android. Steve upgraded to a My Touch 3G Fender Edition the day it was released and quickly started rooting and putting ROMs on his phone. It became an addiction that he still enjoys today. Currently, Steve owns a Galaxy Tab 7″ and a Galaxy Nexus.
Marvin Ferrell has written and contributed at various sites including Android Creative Syndicate, Android Headlines, and Androidian REVolution.

House Tour: Modernist Texas Home
"It's a getaway from our getaway," says interior designer Kelli Ford of the Long Island guesthouse she and her sister and business partner, Kirsten Fitzgibbons, recently completed. Ford, who decamps every summer from Dallas to her oceanside home in Southampton with her husband and two young daughters, had spent more than a decade admiring the five-bedroom house across the street on Shinnecock Bay.
Custom headboards and curtains in Svenskt Tenn cotton. Antique bedside table, Lamp, Bunny Williams Home. Walls, Donghia linen.
"It is sited so beautifully, in one of the best spots for watching the setting sun," says the New York City native. So when the property came up for sale two years ago, the Fords looked to the future. "We wanted a place that would lure our girls back after they were grown and gone," says Ford, who has been one half of the Kirsten Kelli design firm since she was just out of college.
Well-Advised: Paul Wiseman's Renovation Tips

Considering he was the greatest, most closely watched and fanatically admired star of Serge Diaghilev's Ballets Russes, a surprising amount of the dance created by Vaslav Nijinsky survives only as fragments, anecdote and wild surmise. The almost complete obliteration of Jeux, from just before the Great War, is all the more remarkable because it was performed to Claude Debussy's last orchestral score. You'd imagine someone would have thought it worth preserving.
Without an original to inspire or inhibit him, English National Ballet's artistic director Wayne Eagling has turned to a short segment made by Kenneth MacMillan for a biopic about Nijinsky, and expanded it into something that looks like an Agatha Christie whodunnit, without the dialogue. There are tennis racquets, bob-haired girls, clean-cut beaux with sinister undercurrents and a missing ball that sets everything in motion, by kickstarting the imagination of Dmitri Gruzdyev's daydreaming choreographer. All it lacks are the French windows.
Eagling wittily captures the period without tipping into archness. Stylistic references to the angular modernism of Nijinsky (and his sister, Nijinska) are bent into a framework for playfulness and flirtation — bodybuilders' arms become hooks for snagging a partner, and clublike elbows are used to give back massages. At the end, Diaghilev himself — looking a lot like Poirot — saunters on to give the ball back. Mystery solved.
George Balanchine's Apollo, which opens the programme, is one of the 20th century's great works of art, and epitomises the idea of going beyond the Ballets Russes. Created in the last years of the company, it sets the template for a new, neoclassical style of dance that leaves many of Diaghilev's earlier attempts at fashionability looking little more than quaint.
Nanette Glushak's superlative staging re-emphasises what Balanchine first articulated here: that classicism is not about preserved tropes and patterns but about balance, counterpoise and the subordination of energy to intelligence. There have been more sublime Terpsichores than Daria Klimentová, and more sure-footed Polyhymnias than Anaïs Chalendard, but along with Begoña Cao's furtively comic Calliope — retching out her verses and then waiting as if to have her nose rubbed in them — they make a perfectly matched troika of muses that practically drags Zdenek Konvalina's somewhat bemused god towards Parnassus.
Serge Lifar was Balanchine's first Apollo, and it is his Suite en blanc that ends the show. Ballet for the terminally sweet-toothed, it flows out in effortless sugary swirls and fondants as if from the tip of an icing bag. Elena Glurdjidze's cigarette dance, with its Moorish hips and curlicue wrists, is the only hint of more grown-up vices.

Nainggolan has long been strongly linked with a move to a bigger club.
"There are two months to go until we can do anything but we have already spoken to the management about buying players to strengthen the side," Thohir told Indonesia's TV One News.
"I like Nainggolan. Being of Indonesia origin, I would like him here, but this is the sort of decision which has to be talked through with the club first."
But Thohir insists that he is happy with Inter's current squad.
"There is a good mix of young and experienced players," he said.
"[Rodrigo] Palacio, [Andrea] Ranocchia and [Esteban] Cambiasso are great players and there is also [Yuto] Nagatomo and [Samir] Handanovic who is a great goalkeeper.
"But we will decide what to do together and Inter will still be reinforced."

PSA: Beware! Friday the 13th: The Game's servers are a total mess right now
May 26, 2017 | 5 Comments
During today's PAX East panel today -- "WildStar: $#@! Just Got Real" -- Carbine Studios announced that their highly anticipated MMO WildStar has gone gold. That means, production on the base game is complete.
Of course, with WildStar being an MMO, development is never completely finished -- it just means now the studio gets to work on future content. In fact, we were told by Carbine Studios executive producer Jeremy Gaffney that the studio is already working on 16 different content updates for the game, much of which I expect is end game content. During the panel, Carbine showed off some new elder game (end game) content, which we'll be posting about shortly.
WildStar is set to release on June 3 for PC.

"I turned this design into a thank you card for my daughter's 1st birthday. She happens to really enjoy cars. Super cute and colorful!"
"Some of the type on the cards I ordered was too small. When I called Tiny Prints, they redid the order and had it shipped to me in 3 days! The redesign was perfect, and I really appreciate how great their customer service is. My family has used Tiny Prints for the past five years, and I'm always so impressed with their work!"
"Love the design perfect for my sons 1st birthday!! quality is awesome, very durable, I got the glossy finish which put the final touches on it!"
"This was a great card for my 2 children who were having a joint birthday party, but are NOT twins. The only negative thing was that the preprinted envelopes were very difficult to read because the font was so small and light. However, they were all delivered, so I guess the postman could read them!"
"The card stock was excellent, and the pictures were adorable. I hope the make this in other colors, it is a chocolate brown."

Given our climate here in Canada, boots are a staple that most of us either can't live without or wouldn't want to. Often when you invest in a good, solid pair of boots you'd like them to last more than one season. This year you're in luck. Here is a list of just some of Fall's hottest boots that you might have lurking in your closet, waiting to come out. Again.

Hello folks,
I recently switched from an all PC environment that had my WD TV plus working fine to an all Mac environment that I cant manage to get connected. Any insight or help would be greatly appreciated.
I have a WD TV plus that is hardwired to an airport extreme ethernet port by way of WD Livewire. I then have my data on a My book essential plugged directly into the usb port of the airport extreme. Computers on the network have no issues reading and writing to the shared My book essential wirelessly so I believe I have the sharing profiles set up properly.
When I got to setting on the WD TV and then file management I am able to see the network and it allows me to click to password but then says no media present.
Any ideas on what I could be doing wrong? do you need any more details?
Thanks in advance,
Try to connect the my book directly to the Mac and select it as a shared folder, then check again from the WD TV.
Helpful Hint. Get rid of this unit and get the Micca EP-350, as it takes everything you can throw at it. It has some issues withthe remote, but I use a RF-20 universal and get th advantage of extra power for all my equipment. I thought I would like the WD TVLIVE, but I am very disappointed. I recycle the power whenever I get an error and this always works. Never had to do anything like this on a Micca.
Carey, read my post by rbots below. I am dead serious about this. I have been using the Micca's, Diyomate, etc for years and never had a codec, or video format problem, ever !!. It is worth the change. I am very angry with WD because I just threw away 100 bx for an American product I thought finally came through the BS and constraints and put their minds into their coding work.
Good Luck.

March 6, 2013
CLEARWATER, Fla. - Loyola University Chicago (6-5) banged out nine hits off three Penn State (4-9) pitchers, but a seven-run fourth inning by the Nittany Lions spelled doom for the Ramblers in an 11-7 loss this afternoon at the Eddie Moore Complex.
After a scoreless first inning, Loyola capitalized on a Penn State error in the second when Annie Korth, had led off the inning with an infield hit, scored to give the Ramblers the early lead. One batter later, Jessica Balzano coaxed a bases-loaded walk from PSU starter Macy Jones to force in another run for a 2-0 Loyola lead.
Penn State would cut Loyola's lead in half with a run in the third, but that was a precursor to a game-changing fourth inning. Karlie Habitz's two-run double highlighted a seven-run frame for the Nittany Lions, who totaled five hits, drew a walk, and benefited from a Loyola error that directly led to a run and helped prolong the inning.
Penn State would tack on two more runs in the top of the sixth before Loyola mounted a furious comeback in the bottom of the inning. Brooke Andresen's one-out single sparked the rally, and the senior would later score on Lauren Moore's RBI single. Brie Pasquale produced a RBI single later in the inning, and the Ramblers would also score a run courtesy of a PSU error before Tarran Shaffer stroked a two-run single up the middle to bring Loyola within three runs, at 10-7.
However, the Nittany Lions would add an insurance run in the top of the seventh as Loyola held out hope for a late-inning comeback, but Pasquale's one-out single was all the offense the Ramblers could muster in their final at-bat.
Loyola, which had won two straight games against Big Ten Conference foes prior to today, saw its three-game winning streak come to a halt. However, despite the loss Andresen has put herself on the cusp of a Loyola career record heading into Friday's games. With her next hit, the left-handed hitting outfielder will tie Ellen Antonacci's school record for hits (177).
Moore and Shaffer recorded two hits apiece to lead the Rambler offense.
Loyola takes Thursday off before resuming action Friday versus SIU Edwardsville and Villanova at the USF Under Armour Showcase in Clearwater, Fla.

The councillor census in 2010 showed that just 31% of councillors were female. While this figure is rising slowly from 30.8% in 2008, women are still significantly under-represented in local politics.
During our live discussion on diversity in local government, Brent councillor James Denselow claimed that the Labour party in Brent would ensure there would be at least one female candidate for each ward in next year's elections.
Siobhan Benita, director of policy and strategy at the University of Warwick's economics department and former mayoral candidate, welcomed the move. She said:
I think we need measures like that to speed up the pace of change. The sooner we get better representation in local leadership, the sooner people from all backgrounds and walks of life will be encouraged to come forward themselves.
Martin Garner, equalities officer at Enfield council, said the project was a "good start", and he would be interested to see how many of the female candidates would be selected to stand for the ward.
What do you think? Are quotas a good way to encourage female representation in local politics, or does the process undermine the principles of equality?

I am very happy to hear you have recovered.
Will pray for your ongoing recovery and for good health.
And THANK YOU for YOUR sevice to our country!

Id like to start of by saying a huge thanks for all you serving your communities in LE. Healthcare and fire and rescue. I often see many thank those for their military service and I agree and I have supported directly or indirectly served in the military for nearly 30 years.
Last Monday 20 July at 0440 hrs my day was starting like any other. At approximately 0445 hrs I was in the shower getting ready for work. By 0730 my local hospital was making a choice to life flight for me to Tampas Stroke Center. The weather was too bad for the chopper. Almost before they said the weather was too bad the local Fire Department sent Phil and Nate from their Rescue Paramedics. They loaded me on the bus and downtown we headed. Phil reassured me and asked me questions. Nate, the kid was braving the traffic. He had to blow the horn several times to push our way down the interstate in the pouring summer rains.
In short order we were pulling in to St Josephs Emergency bay. We were met by Chip, who turned out to be the chief and founder of their stroke intervention unit. By the time we arrived to the Interventional Radiology (IR) section he had performed a near full stroke assessment. We met Maureen there. All of my neurologicals look good. I was prepared for and had a angiogram of the Cricle of Willis or the four artery cluster of veins supplying the brain. No problems. No aneurysm, AVM, etc Good bifurcation
This is good news everyone seems to be relieved but me Im getting worse. I began to vomit, 3 rounds of morphine have not touched the headache. MRI reveals swelling of the brain but argues against meningitis for a bleed. So, now we have conflicting reports. After much pain and discussion the doctor decided that the blood in the lumbar punch was from the lumbar punch (LP) and not an aneurism. In fact he begin to believe the worsening was due to a leakage caused by the first LP and recommended an Epidural Blood Patch (EBP). So Wednesday they did another LP and performed a EBP. The pressure was measured on entry and exit. That pressure normally was considered fatal. Due to my size (511 315#) I had more fluid to lose.
I was released on Sunday and will return to work tomorrow. The initial rapid onset headache was from viral meningitis complicated by a near fatal lumbar puncture. There are so many people along the way that serve daily in this chain of life saving to thank individually but we have the best tiered triage care in the world.
Thanks to all of you who serve your country, your communities and all in between. Although, I did not directly receive your prayers during this time the spirit embodied here on this forum and the good group of people are what helped me and my family through this trying times.

When it comes to 'life' no one gets out alive, we just don't know the 'schedule'...your name wasn't on the day's list...that's very good.
It is times like this that set all of life's other difficulties on the back burner, and we become more appreciative of the important things in life...family, health, and those who serve to heal us.
I have been is a similar, situation two times in 30 years...the last time was in 2005. I do understand your thoughts and feelings, and appreciative attitude...quite personally.

I'm glad you're doing better and I hope your recovery is eventless now that you have made it this far.
Take care and stay safe.
Glad you are OK and pray for your recovery to go well. It is truly amazing what they can do today when not too many years ago there would be little hope for someone in the same circumstances.

Thanks again for the well wishes and prayers. I went for my follow-up doctor visit on Friday and all seems to be good. He said the headache will continue to diminish. It has mostly gone away now.
It is amazing what they can do these days. What I want to know is what makes people think..hey we can shoot some blood into his spine and it will patch the hole...then someone had to be convinced to be the guinea pig. Actually, that part is easy to understand. I was actually praying for it to be an aneurysm. When the pain is that bad almost any alternative is better. In fact, when I described the pain from the initial headache (which only got worse from the LP) I said that is the kind of pain that would make you let of the steering wheel so a little (okay well big[18-16 Gauge]) needle in the back is nothing.

Rix Mills Remembered: The Folk Artistry of Paul W. Patton
€ 38,99

Juni 2003
BeschreibungAn Ohio folk artist's affectionate recollection of his boyhood in the Appalachian foothills Paul W. Patton was reared in Rix Mills, Ohio, a small village in Muskingum County surrounded by family farms and criss-crossed by gravel roads. In the first half of the 20th century, families here used coal-oil and gas lamps, carried drinking water from wells, and warmed their houses with pot-bellied stoves. Children walked to one-room schoolhouses and worked in the fields from May to September. On a trip back in 1985, Patton discovered that strip mining had reached Rix Mills, the village in which he grew up with his five brothers and sisters and their widowed mother. Stunned by this decimated landscape, he began to paint and recreate the Rix Mills he remembered. Rix Mills Remembered presents 100 of the more than 500 paintings by this highly regarded folk artist. With nostalgic affection, Patton describes the scenes he painted, recalling on canvas the sorghum mill, the blacksmith shop, the school, the general store, the church, and the life he shared with his family in the 1920s and 1930s. The paintings and narratives in this collection will be a welcome celebration of the State of Ohio.
PortraitPaul W. Patton was a self-taught Ohio folk artist who painted from memory. His work is carried by galleries in Ohio and New York City and is owned by many private collectors. He was a World War II B-17 bomber pilot, a former educational television administrator in Indiana, and a retired elementary school principal in Bedford, Ohio. Prior to his death in 1999, he was affectionately known as "Grandpa Moses" for his charming paintings of rural Ohio.

Corruption: Hillary Clinton's effort to conceal her State Department communications from the disinfecting glare of sunlight was planned from the beginning. It's time to know what she wanted to hide.
Emails received Monday from the State Department by a government watchdog organization show that department officials were busy early in Clinton's tenure setting up a stand-alone personal computer in a "counselor office" so the secretary could "go across hall regularly to check her email."
Lewis Lukens, a former deputy assistant secretary of state and executive director of the secretariat, said in a note to Clinton Chief of Staff Cheryl Mills that "the office across the hall" would be set up "as requested."
"I think we should go ahead (but will await your green light) and set up a stand-alone PC in the secretary's office, connect to the internet (but not through our system) to enable her to check her emails from her desk," Lukens wrote.
Patrick F. Kennedy, State Department undersecretary for management, responded that the "stand-alone separate network PC is (a) great idea."
Judicial Watch, which sued for release of the emails, said the communications were exchanged on Jan. 23 and 24, 2009, just days after Clinton was sworn in as secretary.
Quite clearly, the Clinton team was involved in a plot to deceive. And it's unlikely it was done without the secretary's knowledge or approval. It's long been known that she didn't want to use the State Department's secure email system.
The question is, what was she trying to hide by using personal email on a nonsecure private server? Because that's what she was doing. A federal official with nothing to conceal would have no problem using a government communications system that would archive correspondence and make it readily available for compliance with Freedom of Information Act requests and lawsuits.
So what was it that Clinton wanted to hide? Did she provide material assistance to terrorists, as some believe? Did she use her position as secretary to divert cash to the Clinton Foundation from shady sources? Did she want to cover up illegal fundraising outside the public's prying eyes? Or hide her relationship with, and reliance on, longtime crony Sidney Blumenthal, who at times acted as her advisor even though the Obama White House refused to let her hire him?
Clinton's efforts to bury her activity not only failed, they endangered "sources, methods and lives" in the intelligence field.
"Emails that the intelligence community and State Department recently deemed too damaging to national security to release contain 'operational intelligence,' " Fox News reported Monday, "and their presence on the unsecure, personal email system" placed humans and programs in jeopardy.
This, coupled with the Judicial Watch report, should be enough to sink Clinton's candidacy. It would certainly kill any Republican's presidential run.
But no one is suggesting that she drop out. Apparently Democratic voters and the media think she's above the law, just as she and Bill do.

An Investment Opinion
by Louis Corrigan
New Era: Seeing Past Today's Rumors
Relative quiet ruled early trading on Wall Street this morning after the Federal Reserve's Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) surprised no one by voting again yesterday to leave interest rates unchanged. Sensing the news vacuum, investors apparently decided to look for reasons to worry and by mid-morning had found one: Will the minutes from the December FOMC meeting, to be released shortly, indicate the Fed has shifted from its neutral stance, established in November, to a bias toward tightening?
The rumor helped trigger a mild sell-off in the highflying Nasdaq, which has looked tired the last few days as the speculative frenzy moved from the top Internet names to the third tier online brokerage firms, like Siebert Financial (Nasdaq: SIEB) and JB Oxford (Nasdaq: JBOH), which could benefit from such online feeding frenzies. With Siebert up $11 5/8 to $61 1/8 and JB up $9 3/8 to $21 3/8, and both having gone parabolic the last few days, some folks must have recalled Fed chairman Greenspan's analogy between Internet stocks and the lottery and thought this was a good time to take profits in other issues.
Of course, this is all market ephemera. A change in the FOMC's bias doesn't in itself mean much, especially since Greenspan must toss the inflation hawks some carrots now and again lest they throw a hissy fit. And a shift to tightening really wouldn't be surprising given Greenspan's own tough talk about the unsustainability of recent economic growth (gross domestic product did rise a stunning 5.6% in the fourth quarter) and the way that numerous Fed officials have talked recently about the need to be vigilant in heading off inflation, as the Wall Street Journal's David Wessel highlighted today.
Yet what Wessel himself downplayed last week in his coverage of Greenspan's comments about the Internet is just how bullish Greenspan is about our economy. The Fed chairman said, "[W]e wouldn't get hype working if there weren't something fundamentally sound under it." Indeed, Greenspan spoke of the "increasing evidence that a significant part of the distribution of goods and services in this country is going to move from conventional channels into some form of Internet system." He noted that because of this fundamental transformation in our economy, "undoubtedly some of these small companies, which have stock prices going through the roof, will succeed and they very well may justify even higher prices."
Though Greenspan is obligated to sound cautious, his bullishness might be most clearly inferred from a Journal editorial yesterday from former Fed governor Wayne Angell. Because of his hawkish past, Angell offers a possible read on Greenspan's own evolving thinking. Under a headline reading "The Bubble Won't Burst," Angell made the surprising and forceful argument for why "we have at last arrived in a new era economy, one in which information technologies and sound money fuel long-term noninflationary growth." Saying that capital spending spurs productivity growth, which keeps inflation in check, Angell argued that the Fed needs to focus on price levels and stop clinging to "the notion of a speed limit on growth." Every boom is not a bubble in the making, said Angell, whose column reads like what Greenspan might say if he could speak freely. Though many commentators are quick to denounce such new era speak as so much nonsense, long-term investors would do well to ponder the kind of world envisioned by Angell and to ignore today's rumors.

(Nasdaq: MHMY) continued its recent hot streak, rising $8 11/16 to $16 1/8 on residual enthusiasm over Tuesday's news that it plans to offer online trading by late 1999 at the earliest.

World Color Press (NYSE: WRC) brightened $1 5/16 to $25 5/8 after Robert Burton, CEO of the print and digital information management firm, said "multiple acquisition efforts appear ready to come to fruition" and the company may double last year's acquisition activity. Q4 EPS of $0.63 beat last year's figure by a dime and market projections by a penny.
Computer, office, and industrial products direct marketer Global Directmail (NYSE: GML) popped up $1/2 to $18 1/8 after acquiring London's privately held computer products and Internet marketer Simply Computers for an undisclosed cash sum.

(NYSE: FJ) was besieged this morning and fell $4 1/2 to $30 3/4 despite reporting Q4 EPS of $0.63, up from last year's $0.48 and a penny above the First Call mean estimate. However, the company said tough year-over-year comparisons and higher marketing expenses due to competition will result in fiscal 1999 earnings flat with last year's results "through at least the first half of the year."
Advanced Micro Devices (NYSE: AMD) tanked $2 7/16 to $18 1/2 after two executives cancelled appearances at a pair of investment conferences today, fueling speculation that the chip maker may be having trouble producing enough of its K6-2 chips to keep up with demand or that it has some other kind of bad news in the hopper. Merrill Lynch analyst Tom Kurlak didn't help matters much with a near-term rating downgrade to "neutral" from "accumulate." Prudential Securities lowered its rating on the company to "hold" from "accumulate."
Financial services firm MONY Group (NYSE: MNY) dropped $2 1/8 to $25 7/8 after The Wall Street Journal reported that the company's Mutual Life Insurance Co. of New York unit is being investigated for possible accounting fraud by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

(Nasdaq: IDXC) slumped $3 15/16 to $33 1/16 despite reporting Q4 EPS of $0.34, up from $0.26 last year and a penny ahead of the Zacks mean estimate. However, Dain Rauscher Wessels and Robinson-Humphrey both cut their ratings on IDX this morning.
Pharmaceutical promotions consultant Boron, LePore & Associates (Nasdaq: BLPG) tumbled $13 5/8 to $15 1/8 after reporting Q4 EPS of $0.24, a penny below both last year's results and the Zacks mean estimate. The company also announced that COO Gregory Boron is leaving to "pursue personal interests."
Clinical and management information systems company Cerner Corp. (Nasdaq: CERN) was trounced $7 7/16 to $16 9/16 after posting Q4 EPS of $0.24, which was a penny ahead of the First Call mean estimate.

A quartet of assisted-living companies fell this morning after Dow Jones Newswires reported that BancBoston Robertson Stephens suspended its coverage of the industry on fears that the Senate's Special Committee on Aging may take the companies to task for their pricing policies in an upcoming report.

Betts & Scholl Hermitage Blanc 2005
Rhone White Blends from Hermitage, Rhone, France
Winemaker's Notes
Betts & Scholl is a joint effort between Master Sommelier Richard Betts and contemporary art collector Dennis Scholl. Betts & Scholl have forged relationships with several wine making legends in France, Australia and the United States who are passionate about making expressive, elegant and terroir driven wines. The Hermitage wines are a collaborative effort between Betts & Scholl and the legendary Chave family.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Spectator - "Ripe and showy, but with good underlying grip to the dried papaya, creamed peach, fig, yellow apple and brioche notes. The long, juicy finish has a nice gilding of toast. Drink now through 2013. "
Betts & Scholl Winery
Betts & Scholl is a cooperative effort between Richard Betts, Master Sommelier & winemaker and Dennis Scholl, contemporary art collector and joyous wine drinker, who typically finds himself either in Aspen or Miami Beach. Together, they created special relationships with star growers and winemakers from around the world to share in the Betts & Scholl vision.
This partnership is totally dedicated to making great wine as Richard & Dennis see it, which is, ultimately, wine that they like to drink. No trophies, no wine for competition, just wine for the table — wine made to be enjoyed in the spirit of those wines that got Richard hooked on the whole deal in the first place. This is to say wine you can drink everyday — a grocery, if you will — something that is on the table at lunch, at dinner, in harmony with food, an essential part of the meal. This notion is fundamental to great living all over Europe, and it's one that Betts & Scholl aims to bring back and live every day.
So Betts & Scholl chose to make the good stuff! Richard & Dennis' shared aesthetic spoke for elegant, complex, balanced wines of great perfume and finesse with the power to seduce. The object of the B&S fancy is neither the obvious nor the forceful. Instead it is those wines that transport: They taste only of the place from where they've come. Come take the trip.

About Hermitage(EHR-me-tahj) and Crozés-Hermitage (krohz EHR-me-tahj)
Notable FactsSyrah is the only varietal permitted in the red wines, while whites are typically blends of both Marsanne and Roussanne. All three varieties grow on the Hermitage hill. The red wines of Hermitage are powerful, age-worthy wines, often commanding prices similar to those of top Bordeaux. They are big in fruit and tight in tannins, but with a few years of age (from three years to three decades) they are beautifully complex, perfumed and sensuous. Their whites are somewhat mineral-driven, and depending on the blend, may have an almost oily texture (in a good way!).
Like the island of Manhattan, once all the land of Hermitage is gone, the land is gone – hard to create sprawl from an already established hill. So winemakers planted in the vineyards surrounding Hermitage, in the much larger and flatter appellation of Crozés-Hermitage. The area produces wines of the same make-up of Hermitage – reds from Syrah, whites from Marsanne and Roussanne. Red wines are allowed up to 15% of the white varieties. Some of the reds are full of fruit flavor and ready to drink now, while others are trying to follow Hermitage, by making wines with lots of power and longevity. The whites are few, but enjoyable with good fruit and the same texture of those from Hermitage.
About France - Other regionsWhen it comes to wine, France is a classic. Classic blends, grapes and styles began in the country and they still remain. Think about it - people ask for a Burgundian style Pinot Noir, they refer to wines as Bordeaux or Rhone blends - Champagne even had to pass a law to stop international wineries from putting their region on the label of all sparkling wine.
The top regions of France are: Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Languedoc-Roussillon, Loire, Rhone. And these regions are so diverse! It makes sense that wine regions throughout the world try to emulate their style. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah are no longer French varieties, but international varieties. They may not be the leader of cutting edge technology or value-priced wines, but there is no doubt that they are still producing wines of great quality and diversity.

SwfUpload and Flash 10
SwfUpload is a graceful combination of flash and javascript that provides a mechanism for uploading files which is far more user-friendly than standard
<input type='file' />. It allows to upload many files at once and displays nice-looking progress bar.
Not everything works fine in every environment, though. Some problems are caused by the differences between some versions of flash player or even by bugs in flash players. Many of them can be solved, I wrote a post about it some time ago. But now when the Flash 10 came out, we have new obstacles to overcome.
Flash 10 is more restrictive about security issues that it's predecessors. Now you cannot trigger opening file-select window from outside of the flash and it affects SwfUpload which used to do it from Javascript.
Thankfully, developers reacted quickly and are now working on new version (2.2) of the library. Alpha version is already out there and it deals with the mentioned problem. Since it is only alpha I recommend upgrading to stable version as soon as it comes out.
Here are inctructions how to reconfigure your app to work with SwfUpload 2.2.
First, download the most recent version of the library from SVN repository:
svn co http://swfupload.googlecode.com/svn/swfupload/trunk/core swfupload
You'll only need two files from this: swfupload/swfupload.js and swfupload/Flash/swfupload.swf. These are the new version of files you should already have in your application. Replace old ones with these.
The new SwfUpload creates
Select files button on it's own, you only need to provide a placeholder for it.

The last thing is to update some Javascript.
swfu = new SWFUpload({
button_placeholder_id: "swfuploadButtonPlaceHolder",
button_image_url: "../images/swfupload/button.jpg",
button_width: "216",
button_height: "25"
button_image_url accepts a path relative to the swf file. The image it points to, should look somewhat like this:
One image containing three states of a button (normal, on mouse over, on mouse click). You can have text instead of image if you want:
swfu = new SWFUpload({
button_text: 'Upload',
button_text_style: ".theFont { font-size: 16; }"
That's it. You can see working example I based on here.
If you find it useful, please share.

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
The Boston Red Sox continued to be baffled by Rays right-hander Jeff Niemann, who fired a complete game en route to a 6-2 victory over the Sox at Fenway Park in Boston on Tuesday.
Niemann allowed two runs on just three hits and one walk while striking out ten to improve to 8-4 on the year.
The Rays' pitcher has dominated the Red Sox lineup in his last two outings against the club. Niemann tossed nine innings of shutout ball against Boston, recording ten strike outs in the Red Sox 1-0, 16 inning win on July 17 against the Sox.
Jason Varitek and Jacoby Ellsbury knocked in the only runs for Boston, both smacking solo home runs in the loss. Varitek blasted a third inning Niemann offering over the right-field wall to cut Tampa Bay's lead in half to 2-1, his eighth on the year. Ellsbury smacked his 22nd home run of 2011 in the sixth inning to bring the Red Sox deficit to 3-2. Jed Lowrie recorded the other Boston base hit with a third inning single.
The Red Sox presented a bit of defensive wizardry of their own, turning a rare 5-4-3 triple play to end a Rays fourth-inning attack. Upton and Kotchman both singled to lead off, but a Sean Rodriguez hot shot to the bag a third was scooped up by Lowrie, who stepped on the bag, fired a rocket to Dustin Pedroia, who finished the third leg with a perfect throw to Adrian Gonzalez at first. The triple-billing was Boston's first triple play since July 8, 1994, when John Valentin accomplished the feat unassisted.
Trade deadline acquisition Erik Bedard put the offense in position to win, but an eighth inning bullpen implosion cost him a shot at his first victory in a Boston uniform. Bedard went six strong innings, allowing three runs, one earned, on seven hits and zero walks while fanning six to fall to 4-7 on the year. The outing was Bedard's first quality start for the Red Sox, and lowers his ERA August ERA to 3.38.
Following a scoreless first inning, Tampa Bay jumped in front in the second by plating a pair for the 2-0 lead. Ben Zobrist and B.J. Upton led off with a pair of back-to-back singles, and advanced to scoring position when Casey Kotchman grounded out to second for the first out. Jed Lowrie committed a throwing error on a Rodriguez grounder to allow Zobrist to score the first run of the evening, before Matt Joyce grounded out 4-3 to score Upton from third for the second out. Bedard fanned Robinson Chirinos for the third out, escaping the inning with just two unearned runs.
The game remained scoreless until the fifth when Rays' rookie outfielder Desmond Jennings smoked a two out Bedard pitch over the Monster in left to bring the score to 3-1.
Ellsbury's sixth inning home run made the score 3-2 heading into the top of the eighth, but reliever Matt Albers surrendered a trio of runs to put the game out of reach. Johnny Damon singled to lead off the frame, but was retired when Evan Longoria reached on a 5-4 force play at second. Zobrist and Upton continued to be a thorn in the Red Sox side, with Zobrist singling to put runners at first and second for Upton, who promptly singled Longoria home for a 4-2 advantage.
Frankin Morales replaced Albers, but the pitching change proved fruitless. Zobrist stole home after Lowrie's throw hit him, allowing Upton to advance to second on the play, before Kotchman drove in the Rays' sixth and final run of the evening with an RBI single to center to score Upton.
The Red Sox return to action tomorrow, facing off against the Rays in the final game of this three-game set at 1:35 p.m. John Lackey (11-8, 6.13 ERA) toes the rubber for Boston, opposed by Tampa lefty David Price (10-10, 3.76 ERA)

Nick Crotty is Collection Manager at Scienceworks Museum. He has managed the Collection Store on site since 2007.
Nick originally studied Greek and Roman Archaeology and wanted to become an archaeologist, but after going on an archaeological survey in Port Lincoln, SA, he found that he was bored with the act of excavating, but not by the material he found. He decided that while he liked old things, he didn't need to dig them up himself.
He studied Museum Studies at Deakin University and his first job was to relocate the Museum Victoria collections from the Swanston Street building to the new Melbourne Museum in 2000.
Nick has also worked at the Australian Maritime Museum in Sydney, the Workshops Rail Museum in Ipswich and the National Gallery of Australia in Canberra.
He started working at Museum Victoria again in 2005, initially in the EMu database team before becoming an Assistant Collection Manager for the History and Technology Department.
At Scienceworks, Nick manages one of the larger collection stores within the museum. He looks after the day-to-day running of the store as well as cataloguing the collection, retrieving material for curators and public access enquiries and assisting with exhibition or conservation projects.
He has been heavily involved in the preparation for the new Think Ahead exhibition at Scienceworks. He has been registering new acquisitions and enhancing object records for MV Collections Online.
Nick loves working at Scienceworks and the interesting collections and ways of interpreting them there. The best time of his career was during the exhibition Star Wars: Where Science Meets Imagination, when he was allowed to help install and handle some of the props from the movies he loves.
Nick is a member of the Australasian Registrars Committee (ARC) and is a Collection Management consultant for the Australian Gay and Lesbian Archives (ALGA).

Will American Airlines emerge from bankruptcy as a stand-alone carrier or do what its pilots have been urging and merge with rival US Airways? As The Dallas Morning News reports, American's CEO told employees they (and the rest of us, presumably) will find out in "a matter of weeks."
- Listen as air travel expert Rick Seaney offers a quick history of mergers and what they mean for travelers.
Crazy AA Flight Delays: What Were Pilots Thinking?
Merger Likely Means Higher Airfares
Another report cites next week's board meeting of American Airlines executives saying it could "provide clues" as to which way the airline will jump. However, a final decision is not seen likely until the latter part of this month. Air travel analyst Rick Seaney went on record at the start of the year, saying he saw the odds of an American/US Airways merger rising to nearly 70%.
This week, Seaney said if the merger gets the go-ahead, it likely will mean higher ticket prices. "After legacy airline mergers, we typically see capacity cuts which are likely give airlines more pricing power," noted Seaney. "The bottom line is prices will go up long-range and capacity will be cut, if an AA-US Airways partnership follows the lead of other mega-mergers."

Recent Mergers in the News
American is the last of the legacy carriers to undergo bankruptcy restructuring and, perhaps, the latest to jump on the merger bandwagon. In the last decade alone, mergers by venerable old airline names have been the order of the day: Delta joined Northwest (and was seen early on during American's bankruptcy proceedings as a possible merger candidate), United partnered with Continental, and now Southwest is finalizing its acquisition of AirTran.
