"Full Circle" By Al Swegle Prospects for the weather-plagued 1974 corn crop fell another two percent last month, leaving it 18 percent below last year and foreshadowing higher grocery bills for consumers, the agriculture department said Friday. The estimate closely paralleled a report issued only a day-earlier by the National Corn Growers Assn., which pegged this year's crop at 4.65 billion bushels nationwide. The agriculture department estimated U. S. prospects at 4.62 billion bushels. Another report issued by the agriculture department Friday said retail food prices will continue climbing at least in the first half of 1975, partly because of poor crop weather this year. Iowa Prospects Corn prospects in Iowa dropped one percent from a month earlier, the agriculture department saki, as the yield presently is expected to be 951.8 million bushels. This figure is 21 percent less than the 1.204 billion produced last year. The average yield in Iowa is expected to be 81 bushels — down one bushel from a month earlier and 27 bushels less than the 108 bushel yield last year. Iowa produced a record com yield of 116 bushels in 1972.

Julian Taylor Band
Artist: Julian Taylor Band
Title: Coke Bottle Candy
Label: Aporia Records Inc
Genre(s): R&B / Soul / Groove
"In an era when music lovers seem to be required to like one thing, one style, one genre, we get the protean of the Julian Taylor Band – confident enough in their own abilities to delimit the genres and let the soulful beats resound from wider horizons."
These words from acclaimed Toronto poet Robert Priest beautifully encapsulate the Julian Taylor Band's new release Desert Star, a double magnum opus reflecting Toronto's rich musical tapestry. Blending vintage soul, rock, roots, and a touch of hip-hop, the album is a re-birth of sorts for Julian Taylor, one of the country's most gifted and multi-faceted singer-songwriters.
The Julian Taylor Band began as a blank canvas. They played anywhere and everywhere, as often as possible, knowing that a great band lives and dies by its live reputation. The R&B covers in their sets soon became the wellspring from which a new catalogue of original independent releases arose, landing on their debut Tech Noir, and setting the stage for the creative torrent unleashed on the sophomore Desert Star.
Taylor describes Desert Star himself as modern rhythm and blues: Deep grooves, powerful horns, and just the right amount of pop smarts. A relatively straightforward formula, yes, but Taylor ultimately envisioned the album as four distinct parts, stemming from sessions at various Toronto studios with producers Saam Hashemi, Bill Bell, Brian Moncarz, and David Engle.
"We're really lucky that we've got a core fan base that's been completely supportive since the beginning," Taylor says. "There's definitely been a musical evolution, even though the notion of R&B-meets-rock has always been a part of my sound. It's just that I've learned so much more about songcraft in recent years, and collaborating with the guys in this band, as well as my co-writers and producers, has been a big part of that."
"The idea to put out a double album really grew out of this huge amount of material we were working, about 70 songs," Taylor says. "We whittled it down to 22 we felt stood on their own, and at the same time hung together as a cohesive, listening experience. Because we recorded the album over a long period of time in a lot of locations, it was a challenge to maintain a consistent vibe. But everyone was committed to serving the songs, and that's always been my approach to making music."
The first taste of Desert Star came early in 2016 with the release of the single "Just A Little Bit," which received significant airplay in Canada, as well as in the U.S. and Germany. Follow-up singles "Heard Good Things" and "Set Me Free" were warmly embraced as well, with the latter spending eight weeks on CBC Radio 2's Top 20 chart, where it peaked at number two. A couple more singles preceded the album's release, the greasy funk jam "Fever" and "Get Loud," which, although written in 2014, is in tune with today's social climate with its refrain, "If a change is gonna come, we must get loud."
It's a message Julian Taylor has been conveying, perhaps not so directly, ever since he emerged on the Canadian scene. With combined Caribbean and Indigenous Canadian heritage, his unique perspective is a refreshing take on the country's diverse musical landscape
Desert Star is named after a flower that grows in some of the planet's harshest terrain, and for Taylor it made perfect sense as a symbol for his music. Beauty can also be resilient, and if one flower can bloom in a desert, many more can as well. The Julian Taylor Band is planting those seeds now, one listener at a time.

Remembering Rod Temperton of Musical Group Heatwave
Rod Temperton
I want to ask you. Do you remember where you were when you first heard the song 'Boogie Nights' by Heatwave? I sure do. It was Saturday night and I was at Studio 47 in San Jose, California. I remember the club had two sides to it. One side was for 21 years or older and the other side was for 16 to 20 years. I was on the 16 to 20 year side and couldn't wait to get on the other side. The guys looked better. The next day I went to Eastridge Mall in San Jose the and bought the album 'Too Hot to Handle'. That was my intro to this funk/disco band of the 70s and 80s.
Well one of the creative remembers of Heatwave, Rod Temperton died in late September of 2016 at the age of 66. He was a phenomenal songwriter and keyboardist. This English man from Cleethorpes, Lincolnshire, wrote or had his hand in most of the hits for Heatwave. Songs like Boogie Nights, Always and Forever, Groove Line, Mind Blowing Decisions and Ain't No Half Steppin. Temperton not only wrote hits for Heatwave. He started working with the one and only Michael Jackson in 1978 and wrote Thriller, Off the Wall, Baby Be Mine, The Lady in My Life, Rock With You and Burn This Disco Out. Temperton amazing talent will be missed but never forgotten. I know when I hear any of the songs he wrote, I will definitely smile. R.I.P

Jesse Boykins III Written by: Rajada Ealey
I am shocked. Amazed. Astonished. Dumbfounded. How have I not ever heard of this R&B singer/songwriter, Jesse Boykins III? I constantly ask myself this question every single time that powerful beat of his, trickles down my ear canal. But just recently I've been introduced to his music and boy can I say, that now, I am so happy to have his music in my life. Jesse Boykins III dropped his new album, Bartholomew, this year in late July, which I also found myself listening to over and over again. He started producing albums in 2008, where he released his first album, The Beauty Created. I have yet to check out his other albums, but I definitely know what I'll be doing this week. And If you like R&B/Soul jams this album will leave you wanting more. What I like the most about this album is all the surprises. Some songs will have you bopping your head and tapping your feet as soon as that first beat drops. Whether it's the funky beats, dancey vibes, smooth instrumental hip-hop, or those soul jams, the chill of Bartholomew is like food to the your ears. You can't live without. The rough but chill intro "Earth girls" does a great job of preparing us for the R&B rollercoaster ride Jesse Boykins III has strapped us into. But believe me when I say this is a ride worth waiting in line for. Songs like "Everybody Shut up," "Into You," "I Need you," and "Tomorrow," just to name a few, are perfect examples of the shifts in styles he presents. Not to high not too deep, this singer-songwriter voice is also something to be amazed by. It's a shame this artist is very underrated but if his past albums are any good as Bartholomew, I'm sure this artist is one you should be on the lookout for. Bartholomew is truly an amazing album. Now I may be overselling it a bit but my ears just can't stay away. So, check it out for yourself and you may find yourself glued to this album like I am.

The Ohio Players
Yoshi's Oakland
510 Embarcadero West, Oakland, CA 94607 (510) 238-9200
Thu, Jul 7 Fri, Jul 8 8:00 pm /www.yoshis.com/
With their slinky, horn-powered grooves, impeccable musicianship, and eye-popping album covers, the Ohio Players were among the top funk bands of the mid-'70s. Emerging from the musical hotbed of Dayton in 1959, the group was originally dubbed the Ohio Untouchables, and initially comprised singer/guitarist Robert Ward, bassist Marshall "Rock" Jones, saxophonist/guitarist Clarence "Satch" Satchell, drummer Cornelius Johnson, and trumpeter/trombonist Ralph "Pee Wee" Middlebrooks. In late 1961, a relative of Ward's founded the Detroit-based Lupine Records, and the group traveled north to the Motor City to back the Falcons on their hit "I Found a Love"; the Ohio Untouchables soon made their headlining debut with "Love Is Amazing," but when Ward subsequently exited for a solo career, the group essentially disbanded.
At that point, the nucleus of Middlebrooks, Jones, and newly added guitarist Leroy "Sugarfoot" Bonner returned to Dayton; there they recruited saxophonist Andrew Noland and drummer Gary Webster, the latter a somewhat elusive figure whose true involvement in the group's convoluted history has never been definitively answered — some sources credit him as a founding Untouchable, others even as the band's early leader. In any case, by 1967, with the subsequent addition of singers Bobby Lee Fears and Dutch Robinson, the newly rechristened Ohio Players were signed as the house band for the New York-based Compass Records, backing singer Helena Ferguson on her lone hit, "Where Is the Party," before issuing their solo debut, "Trespassin'," which hit the R&B charts in early 1968.
Although the Players' trademark bottom-heavy, horn-driven sound was already blossoming, their follow-up, "It's a Cryin' Shame," flopped, and as Compass teetered on the brink of bankruptcy they exited the label. (Their early Compass sides were later packaged as First Impressions.) The Players then landed on Capitol, where 1969's "Here Today, Gone Tomorrow" was a minor hit; an LP, Observations in Time, soon followed, with covers of "Summertime" and "Over the Rainbow" offering a strong hint of the stylistic detours to follow. In 1970 the group disbanded, however; Fears and Robinson both mounted solo careers, while the remaining members again decamped to Dayton, eventually re-forming with keyboardist Walter "Junie" Morrison, trumpeter Bruce Napier, and trombonist Marvin Pierce.
Influenced by the groundbreaking funk of Sly & the Family Stone — and with the nasal, cartoon-voiced Bonner assuming vocal duties — the new Ohio Players lineup made their debut with the single "Pain," issued on the small local label Rubber Town Sounds; it was soon picked up for distribution by the Detroit-based Westbound label, reaching the R&B Top 40 in late 1971. An LP, also titled Pain, appeared that same year, and was followed in 1972 by Pleasure, which launched the absurdist smash "Funky Worm." Ecstacy appeared in 1973, and after 1974's Climax, the Players signed to Mercury; the label change also heralded yet more lineup changes, with keyboardist Billy Beck replacing Morrison (who later signed on with Parliament) and drummer Jimmy "Diamond" Williams taking over for Webster.
At Mercury, the Ohio Players enjoyed their greatest success; not only did their sound coalesce, but they became notorious for their sexually provocative LP covers, a tradition begun during their Westbound tenure. Their 1974 Mercury debut, Skin Tight, was their first unequivocal classic, launching the hit title track as well as "Jive Turkey." Its follow-up, Fire, remains the Players' masterpiece, topping the pop charts on the strength of its bone-rattling title cut, itself a number one hit; "I Want to Be Free," one of the band's few attempts at social commentary, was also highly successful. 1975's Honey — which featured perhaps the Players' most controversial and erotic cover to date — was another monster, generating the chart-topping masterpiece "Love Rollercoaster" in addition to the hits "Sweet Sticky Thing" and "Fopp."
The insistent "Who'd She Coo?" from 1976's Contradiction, was the Players' last number one R&B hit; "O-H-I-O," from 1977's Angel, was their last major hit on any chart, and as the 1970s drew to a close, the band's fortunes continued to decline. 1979's Jass-Ay-Lay-Dee was their final Mercury effort, and upon signing to Arista, the Players returned with Everybody Up, followed by a pair of dismal releases on Boardwalk, 1981's Tenderness and 1982's Ouch! After 1984's Graduation, four years passed prior to the release of their next effort, Back; no new material was forthcoming, although various lineups continued performing live well into the following decade. Founding member "Satch" Satchell died in late 1995, while "Pee Wee" Middlebrooks passed on in late 1996.

510 Embarcadero West, Oakland, CA 94607 (510) 238-9200 | ..... Tickets. $19.00
A Mississippi native, Thelma started out in the 60's performing in gospel music with the Art Reynolds Singers. She then signed to Capitol Records (home of the Beatles, Nat King Cole and Nancy Wilson) in 1967 and had her first hit song called "Baby Mine."Soon Thelma was courted by several record labels and signed with ABC/Dunhill where she recorded and released her first solo album called "Sunshower" which was written, arranged and produced by the legendary Jimmy Webb. After this critically acclaimed album was released, Thelma decided to accept an offer from one of the biggest record companies around, Motown Records.Thelma claimed the top of the Pop, R&B and Dance charts with her high-powered rendition of "Don't Leave Me This Way." That Gold Record classic gave Thelma the distinction of being the first solo female artist at Motown to win the Grammy Award for "Best R&B Female Vocal Performance."With appearances from Tokyo to Las Vegas to London and beyond, Thelma continues to bring audiences to their feet with her dynamic, energetic show. This Diva logs over 200 performances annually and the singer/songwriter is enjoying every moment of her success. "I still feel a tremendous excitement about performing," states the upbeat songstress.

Do you ever hear a song that takes you back and you know exactly where you were? As I was listening to Change's song "The Glow of Love" it reminded me of good times, simpler times when I was single and mingling.
Change was an Italian-American group that was formed in Bologna, Italy in 1979 by Jacques Fred Petrus businessman and executive producer and Mauro Malavasi. Many considered Change to be a clone of Chic. Granted, there were some similarities both featured dynamic bass lines in their music. They were fronted by mostly studio singers but there was one unknown singer at the time by the name of Luther Vandross (April 20, 1951 – July 1, 2005). One of my all-time favorite singers. Oh, could that man sing? Change had their time in the spotlight during the late 70's and early 80's. However, Change did score on the charts with some significant dance tunes. "A Lover's Holiday," the group's debut single, was a very danceable song that fit in with the current pop hits. "Searching" and "The Glow of Love" benefit enormously from the vocals of Luther Vandross. Some more of my favorite tunes are, "Paradise", "Change of Heart" and "Turn On Your Radio".
People don't remember Change until they hear their songs. Streetwise Radio is playing their songs, so checkout this blast from the past.

Ahmed Sirour The B'Earthday Boy Collection
I love to hear artists who have their own take on music. The originality of how they put it all together is mind blowing. I can't believe Ahmed Sirour, this guy is awesome. This composer, arranger, producer, sound engineer from Brooklyn, New York is a self-taught musician and a gift to the music universe. I say this because his remixes and mash ups of songs like, "Always Get Away" - Lenora Jaye, "Billie Jean" - Michael Jackson, "Brazilian Skies" - Bill Summers, "Eleanor Rigby" - The Beatles, "Family Affair" - Sly & The Family, "Love Wicki Like This" - The Fatback Band &Faith Evans and "The Funky Keyboardist" - Clyde Stubblefield/James Brown is pure genius. Ahmed can put out a series of singles and albums. Some are Jazzy, Funky instrumentals, poetry and some have singers on there that can truly sing no auto-tunes anywhere. Singers like Yvette Rovira, Yahzarah, Lenora Jaye and Michelle Thompson. Ahmed Sirour in my opinion is one amazing musician that no doubt will be going on my play list. Check out Ahmed Sirour's, The B'Earthday Boy Collection on Streetwise Radio you will be amazed at this talented musician and become a fan.

EU (Experience Unlimited)
Back in the late 80s if you were having a house party and you wanted to get the party started all the
DJ had to do was play "Da Butt" by EU. This song doesn't get the credit it deserves. We were doing this dance all most thirty years ago. Da Butt has influenced the dance they call twerking. It reminded me of Spike Lee's movie School Daze a musical comedy drama. Which was based on his involvements at Atlanta's Morehouse College, Spelman College and Clark Atlanta University. It made me go back and watch it. I'm glad I did, it reminded me of how he has stayed true to himself. He's always socially conscious and he makes movies about that, like his latest movie "Chi-Raq". Well enough of that, that's another story.
Back to EU they were a Go Go band out of Washington D.C. in the 80s and 90s. Go-Go is a popular music subgenre associated with funk that originated in Washington, D.C. They had several chart making songs of course "Da Butt" was their biggest hit. They also had "Taste Of Your Love" and "Buck Wild". Fun Fact: E.U. recorded "Knock 'em Out, Sugar Ray" without any keyboards. Just vocals, drums, percussion, bass, horns and lead guitar. They were a funky band here are two more funky songs with that Go-Go beat, "Future Funk" and "Livin Large". EU experienced a return in the mid to late 1990s. They partnered with the jazz, gospel and pop singer Maiesha Rashad. They performed under her, Maiesha and The Hip Huggers featuring E.U. They have headlined events and concert venues such as B.B. King's Blues Club and Grill, DAR Constitution Hall, Black Family Reunion and D.C.'s Stone Soul Picnic. Another fun fact: In 2012, "Da Butt" was licensed for an Xbox 360 game Dance Central 3. EU was a funk band that truly brought the funk. For all you who haven't heard of Experience Unlimited or EU check them out on Streetwise Radio. Enjoy!

Remembering Maurice White the Founder of Earth Wind & Fire
December 19, 1941 – February 4, 2016
My heart breaks! I'm so blessed to have grown up in the 70's. I just remember afros, beads, and good times! Simple times, the best times. Ever since Earth Wind & Fire began back in the 70s, I have loved their music. I had the honor of seeing Earth Wind & Fire in the 70s and the 80s. Each time I saw them they were fantastic! How many bands can claim, that not one of their songs is about anything negative? Always about love, happiness, celebration and being the best you can be. I heard someone say, Maurice wasn't really a singer. I wanted to slap the mess out of them. I challenge them, go on YouTube and look for: Unreleased song by Maurice White/ EWF. The man not only could sing but had a beautiful voice. He and Philip Bailey were the lead singer of the group. He was also an amazing songwriter and the main songwriter. There will never be another like Maurice White. I had a lot of favorite songs back in the day but two of the most beautiful songs ever recorded in my opinion was "Reasons" and "Devotion". Every time I here, "After the love has gone", "Would You Mind", "Can't Hide Love", "That's The Way of The World", "September", "Boogie Wonderland", "Let's Groove", "Fantasy", "That's The Way of The World" and "Sing a Song" . I will remember Maurice White with a smile on my face. The World has lost an Icon a legend to Parkinson's disease, he passed away in his sleep. Thank You Lord for giving him to us for 74 years. Maurice White the founder of EWF, has inspired so many people around the world. With his amazing music and great message. He was indeed a Shining Star and we will all Keep our Heads to the Sky! Thank You for what you left us in your music that will live forever. R.I.P. you will be missed.

Chanté Moore
Do you ever wonder what happen to your favorite singers that could deliver a love song that truly spoke to you? I was watching one of my favorite TV shows, Unsung, on October 18, 2015 they were featuring Chanté Moore. Chanté happens to be one of those amazing singer/songwriters who is so underrated. If you have the rare ability to listen with your ears and your heart instead of listening to what the music industry calls "good," then I'm telling you that Chanté Moore is definitely an artist that you will want to listen to. Her voice can be compared to any beautiful natural setting, like the rising of the sun.
This 48 year old singer/songwriter, actress and author grew up in the Bay View Hunters Point neighborhood of San Francisco. Her singing career took off in 1992 with her "Precious" album with her two hits "Loves Taken Over" and "It's Alright". It span more than 20 years, throughout these years she was married three times once to singer Kenny Lattimore. She's on the reality show R&B Divas L.A. and wrote a book called "Will I Marry Me". In 2014 she put out as single called "I Know, Right". She throws a curve ball with this banger! From the beginning of the song, you start bobbing your head and by the chorus you're dancing. This song is different from her ballads. Chanté Moore is an unsung talent.

Jody Watley and Shalamar--Reloaded
Well enough of all that, this blog is about Jody Watley. Did you know she used to dance on "Soul Train" in the 70s when she was 14 years old? She also sang in the group Shalamar from 1977 to 1983. When Shalamar broke up, I was sad because the musical chemistry was so good. During Watley's solo career she put out nine albums from 1987 to 2006. Now at the age of 56, she's still doing what she loves. In May of 2014 she registered the Shalamar trademark. This was a big controversy with Howard Hewett, you can read all about it in this link http://jodywatley.net/. Watley is now singing and booking shows with Shalamar reloaded with Nate Allen Smith and Rosero McCoy. They have a single out called "Slow Dance," which I have listened to many times and still love it. I have always been a fan of Shalamar but for me it was Watley who made the group and of course the one who had an incredibly successful solo career (including Grammys). Watley not only looks amazing, she still has it. I look forward to the new album. Jody Watley and Shalamar reloaded will be playing Yoshi's in Oakland California on December 30, 2015 thru January 1, 2016 and SAP Center in San Jose on February 12, 2016.
Here are some other places you can also catch Jody Watley and Shalamar reloaded:

Tyrese, Black Rose Album
I was listening on the Steve Harvey morning radio show about a month and half ago, on my way to an appointment. I caught the tail end of his interview with Tyrese. Tyrese was talking about his latest and last album Black Rose and that it was personal. Black Rose demonstrates Tyrese's growth as an artist and his maturity as a man. This album has a classic R&B feel to it. The kind of music that you just want to kick back and mellow out with a glass of wine. The reason why I love R&B music, it tells a story of what people are going through in their life. Tyrese has captured it, in this album.It is definitely music for grown folks. It gives you a glimpse into his life and past loves. It's real as real can get. This artist from the streets of South Central Los Angeles that sung on a Coca Cola commercial in the late 1990's, is one class act. I put two links with Tyrese talking about his final album, his Ex and much more. Check it out. My favorite song is "Shame", but the other songs on this album are just as good. Tyrese is one amazing talent check out his album and songs on Streetwise Radio.

text: INDIANAPOLIS, July 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Allison Transmission Inc. (NYSE: ALSN), the world's largest manufacturer of fully-automatic transmissions for medium- and heavy-duty commercial vehicles and hybrid-propulsion systems for city buses, today announced it has invested in a non-controlling equity stake in Odyne Systems LLC. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120702/DE33547LOGO ) Odyne, a leading manufacturer of advanced hybrid control systems, designed and developed an innovative plug-in hybrid power system which interfaces with the Allison family of commercial vehicle transmissions. The new relationship between Allison and Odyne will directly benefit hybrid vehicle operators in vocations such as utility bucket trucks, digger derricks, cranes and other applications that require worksite stationary power. "Odyne Systems' expertise and experience in the development and manufacture of advanced hybrid control systems made them an attractive partner," said Lawrence E. Dewey, Chairman, President and CEO of Allison Transmission. "Fundamentally, I believe commercial vehicle operators who require a clean and sustainable stationary power source will appreciate the features and benefits that Odyne and Allison bring to the industry." Joe Dalum, President of Odyne Systems, said, "This relationship between Allison and Odyne brings together two leading companies focused on enhancing the performance and efficiency of the overall powertrain. Our solutions help companies and communities meet sustainability objectives, lower costs and reduce worksite noise. It also becomes especially relevant with today's varying fuel prices and the drive to reduce emission levels." Allison Transmission has been a leader in hybrid-propulsion technology since the early 1990s. During that time, Allison developed hybrid propulsion systems for city buses which went into production in 2003. By the end of 2011, city buses equipped with the Allison H 40/50 EP hybrid system were operating in 230 cities worldwide. It has been estimated that these vehicles have saved over 26 million gallons of diesel fuel (99 million liters) and prevented over 259 metric tons of carbon dioxide from being emitted into the atmosphere.

"We won last week," Swigert said. "We won 23-15 or something like that. I didn't play. I have a foot injury. It's messed up. I don't know what's really wrong with it."
Swigert was out the door early that Saturday morning to catch a flight to Lincoln. He had some cargo he didn't have before either. He wasn't traveling alone.
"I flew out Saturday morning. It was like my unofficial visit because my mom came out with me and it was her first time. I got to meet with the coaches again and saw all the facilities.
"We got fed and Coach Ted Gilmore went over what they are trying to do with the offense and how I fit in. We met with Coach Bo Pelini and everybody else before the game."
It's important for the parent(s), as well as the recruit, to feel comfortable with the school. Nebraska has a way of appealing to both more often than not and they did in a big way with the Swigert family.
"She was very, very impressed. She was blown away by the place just like the way I was the first time I saw Nebraska. She really liked all the people there.
"She liked the way that the university was. She was also very impressed with the academic side, the academic support; she got to see that and liked it a lot."
Before the game Swigert was with the team in the locker room until he was led down the tunnel. He got to experience it before the team and then saw the team come out as well.
"It was really, really cool with everyone in the locker room. Seeing them and how they prepare to go out on the field and play their game.
"Walking out of the tunnel with some of the other recruits and people were yelling at us to come to Nebraska. They were high-fiving us. It was crazy.
"When the actual team came out of the tunnel with the music and the crowd it gave me absolute chills. I would definitely like to experience that one day."
The Nebraska offense was hitting on all cylinders on Saturday night and it impressed Swigert. He is also here to say that Nebraska isn't your dad's Nebraska. They have a really balanced offensive attack.
"Everybody thinks that they are a running school and it's not that way at all. They are very balanced in fact and that is very appealing to be more well-rounded.
"They put up some big numbers and can do whatever they want to do. Nebraska likes me as the inside guy as the X. I was watching Curenski Gilleylen. He's really good."
Overall, the visit couldn't have gone a lot better for Swigert. He admits that he was running on fumes at some points in the weekend, but then something would happen that would perk him back up.
"It was definitely a "9" or a "10". There wasn't anything really wrong with the visit at all except that I was kind of tired all day long. I kind of zoned out a couple of times during the day.
"I had to get up at 5:00 in the morning after my game the night before and go to the airport. When I was walking out of the tunnel it woke me up a lot!"
Swigert was set to take his second official visit in as many weeks this coming weekend to Boston College. However, he is postponing that visit and doesn't have another visit set at the moment.
"I was going to go to Boston College, but I am not going this week. It's mostly because of my foot. I am also still considering taking visits to Michigan and Stanford.
"If I would do other official visits to any other schools, those are the three other schools that I would take visits to. The Nebraska official visit really helped them out.
"It was a great experience. They are at the top of my list, obviously, and those four schools together are pretty much even. They are who I will choose between."
Time is running out for Swigert to get any more visits in if he wants to stick to his commitment time line. "I would like to decide pretty soon. I would like to do it maybe in a couple of weeks or maybe in a month."

MSI Radeon R9 270X 2GB HAWK Overclocked Video Card Review
Power Consumption Test
Using our PROVA Power Analyzer WM-01 or "Power Thingy" as it has become quickly known as to our readers, we are now able to find out what kind of power is being used by our test system and the associated video cards installed. Keep in mind; it tests the complete system (minus LCD monitor, which is plugged directly into AC wall socket).
There are a few important notes to remember though; while our maximum power is taken in 3DMark06 at the same exact point, we have seen in particular tests the power being drawn as much as 10% more. We test at the exact same stage every time; therefore tests should be very consistent and accurate.
The other thing to remember is that our test system is bare minimum - only a SSD hard drive is used with a single CD ROM and minimal cooling fans.
So while the system might draw 400 watts in our test system, placing it into your own PC with a number of other items, the draw is going to be higher.
Power draw under load is climbing up towards 400 watt. Not a big surprise and we'd recommend something around the 500 - 550Watt mark as a minimum when it comes to choosing a power supply.

Latest Apple iPhone 5 glitch could be a more serious problem
0. phoneArena 09 Nov 2012, 21:34 posted on
The latest problem to befall the Apple iPhone 5 is a lot more serious than purple tinted pictures; some game developers are finding that the latest version of Apple's iconic smartphone is not responding to rapid diagonal gestures...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here
1. Chuck.Norris (unregistered)
you are rubbing the phone the wrong way :-)
7. Mxyzptlk (unregistered)
I seriously doubt there's a major problem here.

The problem is: where is the "just works" feature that Apple always brags?
10. rsxl5 (Posts: 65; Member since: 05 Sep 2012)
It's not a bug but rather an implementation of a new innovative function (not patented yet) to protect users from wasting their time on playing games ;P
Or maybe a Über Hard Mode for more advanced users :)
13. rusticguy (Posts: 2828; Member since: 11 Aug 2012)
Yup it's not there on goophone 5 :)
16. BREvenson (Posts: 240; Member since: 17 May 2012)
They aren't saying it is a definite problem; they're saying it could be a problem. It depends on the user. If it is someone who swipes on the screen constantly, like for a game or other touch-based app, then it may be a big problem. They even mention that not everyone will suffer from this glitch.
Of course, knowing you, you see any article that talks about a negative aspect of the iPhone as a threat to Apple's good name...as if they actually had one.
22. jroc74 (Posts: 6019; Member since: 30 Dec 2010)
Yea, no problems unless you play games. Now I wait for you to say its not for gaming anyway....cmon, you know you wanna say it.....
But, if it is software related, no problems. Just wait for an update. MeoCao hit the elephant on the head tho.....the "just works" mantra shoulda died looong ago.

If you threw the phone in the garbage it would work better.

The only users that would rub their phone in such a way, are the people who play games like The Master of Baiters...

You're swiping it wrong. It's normal.

If you really research it the iPhone 5 is basically made of cheap parts period.The 4s IS BETTER than the 5. On that note,Judge Lucy Koh has decided to hear Samsung's side after questioning the integrity(because he has none)of the jury foreman for witheld info on how he use to work for Seagate,a partner with Samsung . Hey did you get the Note II yet bruh?

Well this shouldn't happen on a phone with "The Most Advanced Operating System In The World."

the problem is Apple is so full of themselves they think they can sell 4 generations of iphones with a 3.5 inch screen.... while everyone else is going to 4.7 (which is 80% bigger area btw)..
then all of a sudden, they say "holy crap, the other guys screens are 80% bigger, lets rush something out"..
now they got a all glass phone, that needs a 70 gram cover / bumper so you dont break it the first time you drop it, where the screen doesnt work right and its still 25% smaller than WP8 or Android.....
apple only gives you what they think is good for you.... good luck.

You know! "It is a parental control" for old people do not play game anyway, why bother?

I'm basing my project on the "infamous hobo bag" :http://spinspinspin.wordpress.com/2009/07/17/a-published-designer/
I'm using wool, so maybe I can semi-felt my bag. (Is that possible? To felt a bag, but not to the point where it shrinks completely?)
But I'm trying out patterns on it. I haven't done patterns before -- but I'm actually having fun!
Looks like a fun project and a great beginning. Remember to stretch out your sts when you change yarn color to make sure they aren't puckered or pulled too tightly by the carried yarn.
That'll be pretty!
To felt at all the yarn needs to be most un-washable wool or other animal fiber. So it is possible, but don't leave it in long!
Looks great!
I've totally failed to successfully knit a Fair Isle project. Carrying the yarn in the back (floats?) kicks my butt. I just can't seem to get the gauge of the little thing! It's either sloppy-too-loose, or it's too tight and warps the knitting after a few rows. Oy.
Our 4-Day Madrona Winter Retreat here in the Pacific NW (like a Stitches 4-Day event) has a 6-hrs class called Stranding Techniques for Color Knitting on Sunday Feb 19. Registration opens on Nov 15, no designated time...but in the past, I've been totally unsuccessful in scoring a class that I need and want. It's like one million ladies sit ON THEIR LAPTOP starting at midnight of the 15th...and keep refreshing their screen every minute or so...and as soon as that registration button appears...WHOOSH...all the classes are glommed. It is so discouraging.
But I will try to get into that class. I need it!
This looks great! Thanks for showing us your WIP. I'd love to see the finished object, too, and see how successful you are at felting it (I hope very successful).
that will be a beautiful bag!! <3 i hope it comes out exactly the way you want! i know if you knit with some elastic thread ( like from clover) it should hold its shape and stop it from felting to much but i don't know. : |
