HTC HD7 Review
0. phoneArena posted on 12 Nov 2010, 06:20
Microsoft and HTC have reunited to give you the HTC HD7. A fine piece of hardware cut from the same cloth as the EVO 4G and the HTC Desire HD. The HTC HD7 sports a 4.3 inch screen, a host of connectivity options, a 5MP camera with autofocus and dual LED flash as well as the enigmatic OS that could be the answer to the above dilemma - Windows Phone 7...
This is a discussion for a review. To read the whole review, click here

battery life cant be better. like its not possible. if they really wanted a good battery life they would talk to blackberry, but their batteries will continue to suck because they have had plenty of times to upgrade the batteries to be good

You want a sexy touch screen smart-phone with good, solid hardware, but you're stuck on operating systems. You think iPhones are way too expensive, BlackBerry OS doesn't give you a good enough online experience, Android 's cluttered and Symbian's dated. Up until now, you might have been bashing your head against a brick wall, longing for a clean, elegant solution that delivers an up to date user interface coupled with some smooth web browsing.
Palm. WebOS.
Affordable, fantastic online experience, neat (try no apps on the home screen, thank you), and updated. There's a new phone coming out in the coming weeks of 2010. Elegance embodied. :P

HOURS AND HOURS spent with T Mobile and Microsort.
Phone will not sync unless you put your personal info on
Microsift Servers.
Hours wasted trying to sync contacts, calandars.

I have used Windows phones since 2002. I still recall the Samsung windows phone that I had purchased at $600 with a 1GB card that were both stolen within a month. Much improvements were made and I was really excited about purchasing the new HD 7 phone to match with my home OS and upgrade from my Touch Pro 2.
Alas, what a disappointment! It is the first phone ever that I have returned. HTC and Microsoft alliance did a poor job on this one. I was sold on the big screen, the ease of moving from one screen to the other, and just the coolness of having windows 7 phone, but little did I know that I was heading to various issues:
1. As mentioned by another individual, it took me hours to try to sync my contacts. I thought that MS would be smart enough to let people sync their info from Windows 6.5 to Windows 7, but hey, sounds like the smart guys disregarded this option. Getting this phone is like starting from scratch. After hours of research, I saw that some people found a work around with Outlook, and it's no easy stuff, given that I am actually a tech guy...
2. Applications, I spent hours trying to install some goodies that I have downloaded over the years, but then again I received messages saying that you can't install CAB files. What a disappointment that was... You have to use Zune software and/or the market place where there's a restricted amount of applications, number that will grow they say...
3. I have many small applications in my flash card, but then again I did not realize that this phone does not have cards' slots, and of course does not take cab files...
It seems like MS is trying hard to follow iPhones and Androids, but if there were behind, now they have just stopped running. It will take me some time before getting another MS phone. I am settling with my Touch Pro2 for now.

HTC HD7 - If you live in HK or China definitely don't buy this phone. Windows is not prepared to download applications to your PC or Phone at this time. I have been trying to solve this problem for more then one month with no success.
6. Bharat Bhushan (unregistered)
I has been experienced by many users that HTC HD7 is useless mobile reason being the user cannot change its ringtone of its own choice, user cannot install third party applications. User cannot download applicaitons other than available at Market Place.
So then what is the use of mobile? Hopeless
7. Ahmed Khan (unregistered)
HTC should withdraw HTC HD7 from Indian Market. It just a box. In this fact technology I cannot keep my Ringtone as MP3. I cannot instal software available at Net. I cannot instal call recorder, I cannot instal any software which are needed. I cannot share office documents with PC. Very disappointing Mobile as compare low level window mobiles
8. Rody (unregistered)
I had a problem with my HTC HD7 that get wet, nothing is working wrong but the camera glass cover is blurred, how can I clean it, I have some special tools but I need to know how could I do it.
Thanks for your help

I thought the Zune software on PC was supposed to act as a sort of converter during sync... How come it can't even add .dat files in my PC to its library? I've been trying to transfer some video files to my HTC-HD7, and so far, no progress! I can't believe I've been sitting here for more than 2 hours...

Capturing The Magic of Vintage Guitar Pickups
There's something about having a guitar with the right pickup that will make you feel like the "cream" of the chops! The above photo is one of my Antiquity "aged" humbucking pickups. It's cosmetically aged to look 50 years old. The main reason I designed this pickup to look old is for guitarist over the years that replaced their original pickups with newer or hotter models. 20-30 years later the value of the modified guitars has now exceed expectations and tripled more in value.
I always's had the idea of making things look old and wanted to experiment on ways to make the materials look aged and used. I started making one off products for artists like Jeff Beck, Albert Lee, Roy Buchanan, Albert Collins, Jimmy Page and many other single coil and humbucker users. I didn't want to confuse the market so I put subtle marks on them to compliment the Seymour Duncan Pickup line. The tone of this custom built pickup is not aggressive but is responsive to the lightest picking technique and smooth compressed sound built in. Many years of winding and experiments in my lab and workbench have created such a tone very compatible to the pickups made a half century ago. Not only the look but materials such as magnet composition and calibration, pole piece alloy, winding tension and pitch, magnet wire insulations and diameter, screw dimensions and head diameter are such an important part of the total product. Time and quality components have been used for you the player and collector that wants a product you know is being made with devotion and years of performing experience.
I use these products on my personal instruments and can be heard on many of my recordings. The magnets are individually calibrated to create the one of a kind pickup to make "your" tone unique and special. The combination of turns per bobbin and their unique tension and winding pitch then combined to the special magnet calibration make an incredible tone you'll love to hear over and over again. I've worked with the best and have given them the best from my experience because of the love of the guitar and association with the greats such as Les Paul, Seth E. Lover, Leo Fender, Ray Butts, Bill Carson to name a few.
My Antiquity pickups are the perfect "used and worn" look to help restore the instrument back to original condition. The sound will surpass your expectations beyond belief and make you sound like the musician that has inspired you over the years. Get out there and play that guitar with tone, soul and down to the bone sweat! You will inspire others and inspire your own dreams…
P.S. our Antiquity pickups are available for Les Paul, Stratocaster, Telecaster, Jazzmaster, P-Bass, J-Bass and P-90 equipped guitars. Click here to learn more: http://bit.ly/antiquitiesSD

Teacher resources and professional development across the curriculum
Teacher professional development and classroom resources across the curriculum
Hi Karen and Mary,
I wanted to touch on a couple of topics you both mentioned. First with the
ocean and overfishing because I love to fish and I teach marine science. As
far as individual boats and captains catching fish and lowering the
population I don't think that is a problem you have to worry about. The
problem obviously is a human caused one but the commercial fishing industry
and the amount of waste and "accidental" dead fish that result in some
fishing techniques is more a cause of the problem than anything. I do agree
that we will continue to see rising seafood prices whoever because of out
inabilivy to affectively access so much of the ocean I do not believe that
we run a risk of completely eliminating these species with out current
practices, however we are severly hurting the numbers and affecting
ecosystems in the process.
I also found it interesting that the text so bluntly stated that there is
global warming do to human activities when there is so much controversy
remaining on the topic. It is obvious that human are adding to the levels
of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere but what is not obvious, at least to
many is the effect these are having and the reasons for the rising Earth
temperatures. The Earth's temperature to continued to change for as long as
humans have been able to monitor it. There is strond evidence that the
Earth was actually warmer during the middle ages. I am not saying global
warming is not occuring and I am also not saying that humans probably are
playing some role in it, I just thought that the text seemed to jump to
conclusion where there is so much uncertainty and the Earth's temperature
has changed so much in the past.
The last topic I found interesting was in both the text and video on the
spread of ticks and lyme disease. I grew-up in Pennsylvania on a farms
where my parents own about 200 acres. With all the open land and
alternating fields and forest tick were never something we worried about.
Having moved to New England about 3 years ago and spend a year working near
the town of Lyme (The disease is named after it) ticks were something we
worried about constantly especially teaching environmental education and
having students outside all the time. When I think back and relate it to
the video, where I grew-up was very undistrubed and larges patches of woods
and open fields. Here in new England it much more disrupted with small
patches of woods and houses scattered everywhere. I thought it was very
interesting to see how humans have not only eliminated species but also by
affecting the number of some have caused so many problems for themselves.
Lastly, as to the solution to the problems, I believe it relates back to the
cause of many issues and that is over population. With the increased number
of people I believe everyone needs to be more aware of their actions over
issues such as recycling, conserving fossil fuels, and even the urban sprawl
as you both mentioned. It will be interesting to see what the future holds
because as they said it is us who will see all of the effects of our
actions, but out children and grandchildren.

Baffling Political Battle
Barrett's attempt to seize control of Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS) from the elected school board failed to muster enough support in the Legislature last week to even bring up the issue after Gov. Jim Doyle called a special session. The Legislature adjourned without discussing mayoral control.
Meanwhile, the Milwaukee School Board, under the leadership of President Michael Bonds, has narrowed its national search for a new superintendent down to three finalists—two African Americans and a Latino—all with experience in urban school districts.
Extending an olive branch, Bonds invited Barrett to personally interview the three finalists and make a recommendation to the board. He also named Barrett to a community panel advising the board on the selection. The diverse committee includes Alfonzo Thurman, UW-Milwaukee dean of education, state Rep. Annette Polly Williams, former Mayor Marvin Pratt, private philanthropist Julia Uihlein and prominent Latino, Hmong, American-Indian and union leaders.
The school board could select a new superintendent as soon as mid-January. Since the Legislature normally wouldn't go back into session until late January, state legislation drafted to allow the mayor to name the next superintendent is fast becoming moot.
So far during this season of peace, Barrett has not accepted Bonds' invitation to interview the three finalists, all with strong educational credentials, who have applied for the job.
Barrett rejected an earlier compromise on a total mayoral takeover of the Milwaukee school district even though, if Barrett's campaign for governor is successful, he wouldn't even be the mayor to control the schools.
State Rep. Tamara Grigsby and state Sen. Spencer Coggs provided the mayor a graceful way out by proposing compromise legislation that would create a partnership between the mayor and the elected school board.
The Grigsby-Coggs bill would create an executive-legislative system to run city schools following the same structure as the mayor and the Common Council, the governor and the Legislature and even the president and the Congress.
The mayor would be the chief executive with the power to propose school policies. The elected school board would serve as the legislative branch acting on proposals by the mayor or by their own members. The mayor would have veto power and it would take a two-thirds majority of the school board to override any veto.
The proposal would give Barrett more power than any mayor has ever had over Milwaukee schools, exactly the same power he has over every city issue that passes through the Common Council.
The legislation also had the advantage of keeping real power in the hands of an elected school board. After complaints that Barrett's takeover was anti-democratic, denying voters the power to elect their own school board representatives, the mayoral takeover legislation retained a sham school board that would have virtually no power over important educational decisions.
Rejecting Compromise
Rather than embrace the traditional checks and balances the president and governors and mayors all over America operate under, Barrett insisted the mayor should be given total, unchecked power over the public schools.
To many, the hard line taken by Barrett seems totally out of character for a mayor whose conciliatory, nice-guy approach to politics is seen by his supporters as a strength and by his critics as his greatest weakness.
"That's not Tom Barrett," said one veteran politician on the opposite side of the school fight. Many believe the corporate leaders of the Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce (MMAC) are the ones calling the shots on the mayoral takeover.
The MMAC, never considered friends of public education, held private meetings for nearly a year to discuss giving the mayor control of MPS before Barrett himself publicly launched his takeover campaign.
Barrett has repeatedly denied any collusion with MMAC. But it added to the conspiracy theories when Barrett announced he might consider appointing a businessman as the next MPS superintendent rather than an educator.
Whatever was behind Barrett's uncharacteristic power play, the longer the so-far losing battle continues, the less sense it makes politically. As soon as Barrett announced his candidacy for governor, no one could even say who the mayor might be who would be handed unprecedented power over the largest and most challenging public education system in the state.
Voters around the state, already suspicious of candidates from Milwaukee, see Barrett embroiled in a local controversy rather than leading on state issues. They hear he may not even move to Madison if he is elected.
And many of the Democratic activists at home whose energy and support Barrett needs to be elected governor have been needlessly alienated.
When a war is being lost anyway, wise strategists find a way to declare victory and withdraw.

Dealing with the job center.(93 Posts)
Hi all
I am sure i am not the only one..But i am not having a good time dealing with the job center. Single mother of two and my youngest is 6 i had to move from income support to JSA. They want me to go work full time in some shop for just my benefit money. I don't know if they can really do that? Working full time for just £70 pounds a wk don't really cut it for me.
The main issue i have with them is they seem to be forcing me to put my son in to some kind of childcare,so i can work longer hrs. At the moment they have changed my contract to find work from 9-3 and that is really not possible to drop my son off and pick him back up at school. I don't see what right they have to be making parents do that? Is any parent having the same issues?
I am really getting confused with my rights with dealing with them
OP- would the job centre allow you to busk?
Then you can pick your own hours! Perfect!
You could even take your children with you to do it at weekends. And if you can't play an instrument, you could just dance instead.
Failing that, you could become a chatline operator while your children are asleep in bed. No childcare needed!
As you have slagged off all the childminders you know AND the after-school club, why don't you just set yourself up as a childminder? You sound like someone who nothing is ever good enough for, tbh.
> I do GET the prohibitive cost of childcare by the way
If you're raising kids as part of a couple, I don't think you do. Lone parents, unless they are lucky enough to have grandparents on hand do help them out, have to pay for every single bit of childcare they access. No swapping shifts, no juggling things around, no other person who can take two weeks off in the holidays, nothing. And with the changes to tax credits they are getting even less of a contribution towards that. And the OP has two kids to pay childcare for.
OP, I echo what thekidsrule says and hope you get something that you are able to do in practical terms. I know that dealing with the job centre is stressful and all the time you are worried about losing you benefits - it's horrid.
i would love it if me and DH could give up work an raise our son together but we wouldnt expect someone else to pay for it, particularly once hes in school all day!
typical response from a two parent household
op i hope you manage to find something thats suitable for you and your family
And my point is sometimes you HAVE to use childcare in order to feed your children.
Look, I feel a bit uncomfortable about this discussion now because it seems like I'm speaking for the OP who I'm sure is more than capable of fighting her corner. But she isn't saying that she doesn't want to work; just that she doesn't want to use childcare because it's not in the best interests of her child. I don't think that is unreasonable, and the fact that one person or 100 people you know do it doesn't really matter a bean.
I do GET the prohibitive cost of childcare by the way - I just get cross that you hear endless excuses and see no effort.
I don't think it's reasonable to ask you to pay for childcare to do workfare. Workfare is a disgrace all round. But I don't think it's unreasonable to ask you to consider ft work. But then IME the job centre won't be the best place to find work anyway, and t you'll do better looking yourself for something that suits.
No, they don't, Wallison, but if she's being put on a placement then she has to do it or be sanctioned. She was probably moved to JSA a year ago after the child turned 5.
There was time, to get training, to find work and move out of the shite area.
But we all knew the new rules. In that situation, knowing there's a time limit on it all and then you face work placement, wouldn't it have bee prudent to re-train so the school hours job was more obtainable, rather than banging on about rights?
Because this government is Tory. They've been in power for over 2 years and we all know what they are like.
Why do people have this view that they should not/cannot work to support their kids? I will never understand it. The feckless men who bugger off and never pay a penny and the women who make endless excuses about wanting to be at home.
Wallison, but I had a job - I did not need benefits. Why should I choose to go on benefits rather than work? I never said it was cushty. I said OP is in the situation where she needs to work to support her children. Is that bad?
And it has been ever thus, for working class women. I have done my family tree back to 1500. There is not a generation in my family where the woman did not work - charwomen, market gardening, bar running, glove making, nursing etc etc. Why do we get to say these days that my child needs me - I cannot work, ?
Some form of childcare has only become necessary because of this 9-3 rule. And even with it, she isn't obliged to work full-time. I mean, even the DSS don't expect her to. It doesn't much matter what you or anyone else did although I will point out that if you wanted to have the freedom to not work when your kid was 5 months old, you could just have given up your house and rented somewhere and lived off benefits, since it's all so cushty.
But the reality is, if you need to work - which OP does - some form of childcare is necessary. It is no longer acceptable to claim benefits because you "prefer" to be at home. That is not me making a moral judgement on it, tis just the facts. I had to go back to work when dd was 5 months old as I was the main wage earner and the bills needed paying. I would have loved to have stayed home. it was just not an option.
Well, that's the thing about this govt. They're all so interested in being 'tough on scroungers' that they disregard the fact that people like the OP, who by the sounds of it has stuck to her jobseeker's agreement and is looking for work, haven't actually done anything wrong but they seek to penalise them anyway. I don't think that is fair or acceptable. She isn't asking for special favours or anything else that is so outrageous - just to be able to work without putting her kids into childcare. Unforch, because there are now thousands of parents being forced onto JSA and all chasing the same few part-time jobs, it's more difficult to find work. But that isn't the OP's fault. And I think it very unfair that she should have to find childcare for doing work that isn't paid and OP I suggest again that you get in touch with your local CAB about that.
But from the sounds of it, Wallison, it isn't good enough for the government and it sounds like she's being put onto a work placement in a charity shop. They can sanction you for not participating in that.
And if someone decides that it's not in the best interests of their child to go into childcare, then they should be able to make that decision. You or I have no idea of the OP's circumstances, only that she is the primary carer for her children and that she has made a decision that she doesn't want to use childcare. That's good enough for me and actually it's good enough for the govt as well, barring this new rule about the 'must be available 9-3' thing.
The govt will sanction her benefits if they don't think she is doing enough to find work. As a lone parent, she is allowed to specify that she can only work during school hours. What has changed is that their definition of 'school hours' has moved from for eg 9.30-2.30 or even 10-2 to 9-3 which obviously doesn't allow you to drop a child off at school and then go on to work. It's pretty fucking tight as well, because as a lone parent you are likely paying for every minute of childcare you have (no partner to do handovers or swap shifts etc) so even if you need just 15 mins or whatever you will pay through the nose for it. Like I said though, although it is unfair and completely goes against allowing people to limit their availability for work due to childcare, there are in practice very few jobs that are 9-3 anyway.
Thing is, Wallison, is the government can and will sanction her benefits for this.
Things have changed, and she's going to have to find that job during school hours or do what they tell her to do or they will sanction the benefits.
That's how it is and, 'My 6-year-old doesn't want to go to childcare' isn't going to wash.
Portofino, the OP has said that she is applying for jobs but that she doesn't want to apply for jobs that mean her children will be in childcare. She doesn't want to not work at all; she just wants to be able to find a job that means that she doesn't have to shell out for childcare on one income and put her children into childcare when they are not ready for it. I think that is a reasonable stance.
Jellybeans, yes, it is different raising children on your own. There is no-one there to take up the slack. No matter if you're ill, or tired, or you have stuff you need to do, you are the only one who can look after them and also do everything required to keep your household functioning - if you leave it, it won't get done eventually, or even at all.
I agree Wallison. I also think how tired I am as a SAHM at times and I have DH helping when he is off work and doing household stuff etc. But my lone parent friend does everything all the time. That is a full time job in itself.
I know it is shit, but your focus has to be on supporting your children financially and improving your skills. Kids are adaptable. If you present it in the right way, he will be able to cope. You can't opt out any longer. The present govt's ethos is to get people who can work, working. Even if Labour got back in tomorrow, I don't believe this would change much.
How long have you been single?
The over-5 thing isn't a new rule.
As for childcare as a mother and knows her son better than anyone else. Also having a few little talk's with him..I know personally putting him in any childcare would not benefit either of us. Not saying when he is older but for now it would do more harm than good.
As for the school clubs..Yes there is one..And i'm sure it is a good one..But the area i am living in..Well when you got parents fighting at the school gate..Would you like to leave your child there even longer than the normal school hrs.
Wallison. I agree. If me and my husband split up i think the worst thing for my children emotionally would be me going out to work full time and putting them in childcare. They need a parents attention and love if possible at times like that.
Rockchick1984 did i say i wanted to stay on benefit indefinitely?? Did i say i was not looking for a job? Think people only read what they want..Like "Single mum on benefits" Wish people would give some general advice instead of keep sticking the boot in.
But thanks to all the other people who seems to understand.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I am a co-owner of a real estate property. The other co-owner got out a mortgage loan and defaulted, and now the bank wants to foreclose. I am not on the mortgage loan. What can I do?
You do not have to be obligated on the note to voluntarily pay it. If the property is foreclosed, provided the lien attached to the property before you acquired your interest, you will lose your interest.
If the loan was taken out after you acquired your interest, only the interest of the other co-owner would be lost and you would own the property 50-50 with the new acquiring owner. This circumstance would be uncommon and I urge you to seek the advice and services of an attorney if your question is more than a hypothetical. Good luck.

As Attorney Daymude indicated, you can voluntarily pay the note current even if you are not on the loan. If the lender proceeds with a foreclosure, and if the loan was obtained before you acquired your interest, you will lose your ownership interest.
It is imperative that you contact a real estate attorney to ascertain your rights and your options.

As the other attorneys have indicated, the date of your deed and the date of the mortgage are important facts that are not provided.
There are two possible scenarios.
(1) If you owned the property PRIOR to the date of the mortgage, then the mortgage holder can only foreclose on your co-owner's interest. The mortgage holder can then sue for partition to sell the property.
(2) If the date that you acquired an interest in the propert is AFTER the date of the mortgage, then you took the property subject to the mortgage and the mortgage holder can foreclose your interest.
What you can do is dependent on facts that we do not know. For example, if the property is desirable and has equity, you could seek to have your defaulting co-owner sell his or her interest to you and then refinance to pay off the existing mortgage. However, that would not make sense if you the property is not desirable and if it would saddle you with a mortgage payment you cannot or do not want to handle.

A Celebration of Dr. Billy Taylor
Location: NJMIH Visitors Center
(104 E. 126th Street, Suite 2C)
FREE | register online
Instructors: Loren Schoenberg & Christian McBride
This week come greet and meet Dr. Billy Taylor in person.
Last week instructor Greg Thomas continued the month-long tribute to Dr. Taylor with a focus on trio configurations throughout his career, from the 50s 'til this century. Tempos ballad to brisk, and styles from straight-ahead swing to spiritual solemnity to dance-groove funk to a classically-tinged composition featuring his trio with a symphony orchestra, were appreciated by the attendees at the National Jazz Museum in Harlem's Visitors Center.
Dr. Taylor is one of the few musicians extant tutored by Art Tatum, and who, as house pianist at Birdland, can recount his days playing and recording with Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Ben Webster, Coleman Hawkins and other standard bearers of jazz innovation. So expect the living jazz master to share wisdom in his inimitably warm style of conversation...with Loren Schoenberg and Christian McBride.

Harlem Speaks
6:30 – 8:30pm Eddie Bert Trombonist
Location: NJMIH Visitors Center
(104 E. 126th Street, Suite 2C)
Trombonist Eddie Bert's career spans nearly seven decades of jazz, from big bands to bebop and beyond. In addition to being a jazz musician who's played with one and all, he's been a regular in Broadway show bands, and a first call studio player. Yet no matter what the musical setting, Eddie has always played his uniquely personal, warm and melodic style of jazz.
When renowned jazz leaders needed a dependable, original trombonist for a significant recording or event in the second half of the twentieth century, they turned to Eddie Bert. In fact, his resume reads like a Who's Who of modern Jazz, including musical relationships with Thelonious Monk, Charles Mingus, Coleman Hawkins, Woody Herman, Stan Kenton, Machito, Tito Puente, Benny Goodman, Thad Jones and Mel Lewis.
There's a reason Eddie Bert has played with the jazz masters - he's a truly gifted musician, a trombonist who has easily traversed eras and genres, from bop to swing, Mingus to Hampton, and Kenton to Herman. Eddie straddled the racial divide as well. He played in one of the first integrated big bands, Charlie Barnet's 1943 aggregation, which included Howard McGhee, Buddy DeFranco and Oscar Pettiford.
In addition to being one of the most dependable players in jazz history, always in demand because of his sight-reading skills and his ability to lend a passionate and individual approach to all music, Eddie is a soloist and arranger with a distinctive musical voice. In 1955, when he stopped playing only to sleep, he won Metronome's Musician of the Year award. He followed that with a top rated album of the same name for Savoy. He has led a number of other recordings during his distinguished career, featuring such sidemen as Duke Jordan, Joe Morello, Hank Jones and Kenny Clarke.
Yet during Eddie's teenage years, 52nd Street was a hotbed of musical activity. At fifteen, he began frequenting "The Street," where musicians of all generations played and gathered nightly. Being too young to get into the clubs at night, Eddie hung around during the afternoon when he knew the bands would be rehearsing.
Fast-forwarding several decades, in the 1990s Eddie started working with drummer T.S. Monk's group. "We did a European tour in 1997 and an album that featured a lot of Thelonious' new material that T. S. had found around the house. He hired me because I had played with his father-if you hang around long enough, you find that you have played with everyone's father!"
Now in his eighth decade, Eddie Bert is still playing the trombone, still traveling, and still married to Mollie, his wife of 60+ years. With three daughters and four grandchildren, he enjoys spending time with his family and, when not playing, also likes photography.

Harlem in the Himalayas
7:00pm Theo Croker Quartet featuring Marcus Belgrave
Location: Rubin Museum of Art
(150 West 17th Street)
$18 in advance | $20 at door |
Box Office: 212.620.5000 ext. 344
Marcus Belgrave, trumpet
Theo Croker, trumpet
Joe Sanders, bass
Sullivan Fortner, piano
Kassa Overall, drums
Trumpeter Theo Croker, Doc Cheatham's grandson, has been featured all summer at Harlem in the Himalayas. This last performance promises to be hot, with Croker locking horns in antagonistic cooperation with elder trumpet legend Marcus Belgrave.
Trumpeter, composer, arranger, educator, recording artist, and producer Marcus Belgrave was born in Chester, Pennsylvania June 12 1936.
He began playing the trumpet at age six and professionally at age twelve. Mr. Belgrave describes himself as "born into bebop." An early inspiration and mentor was Clifford Brown. At age eighteen, Marcus earned his initial reputation joining the Ray Charles Orchestra. His solo on Alexander's Ragtime Band from the album The Genius of Ray Charles put him on the map. He toured for five years and is heard on such Charles hits as Night Time is the Right Time, What'd I Say, You are My Sunshine, Margie, Ruby and Stella by Starlight.
In the early 60's he worked and recorded in the bands of leading innovators of post-bop modern jazz: Max Roach, Charles Mingus and Eric Dolphy. In 1963 Marcus settled in Detroit, becoming one of the prominent studio musicians with Motown Records. He is heard on many Motown hit recordings including Dancing in the Street, The Way You Do the Things You Do, and My Girl. His distinguished career as a player includes performances with legendary stars from both the pop music and jazz world: Ella Fitzgerald, Bud Powell, Tony Bennett, Aretha Franklin, Sammy Davis Jr., Wynton Marsalis, Lena Horn, Liza Minnelli, Doc Cheatham, Sarah Vaughn, Dizzy Gillespie, Billy Eckstein, Gene Krupa (with whom he recorded) and many others.
As an original member, starting in 1988, he toured with the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra, appearing on national television and recording for CBS/Sony. Marcus Belgrave's own recordings began in 1974 with the release of his self-produced album Gemini II, showcasing a collective of Detroit jazz artists, which he led. This record was the first to garner the attention of the international jazz press, about new "cutting edge" jazz activity emanating from that famous music city. Belgrave's recordings from the 1980's and '90's include the critically acclaimed Detroit Piano Legacy with Tommy Flanagan and Geri Allen and Working Together, Marcus' collaboration with composer/drummer Lawrence Williams. Recording more traditional jazz material in this period, Marcus co-led on albums with several of the last surviving "pioneers" of the pre-bebop era including saxophonist Franz Jackson (Live at Windsor Jazz Festival III) and pianist Art Hodes (Hot 'n Cool Blues). Critical accolades for these releases are cited in The Biographical Encyclopedia of Jazz, The Rolling Stone Guide to Jazz and Blues on CD, other jazz reference books, and major news publications.
Since 2001 Marcus Belgrave has led his Tribute to Louis Armstrong octet, appearing in thirty states, Canada and Puerto Rico and playing Armstrong's music in pops programs with the Detroit Symphony and other US orchestras.
As a soloist, Marcus continues to travel the US for appearances at jazz festivals, night clubs and concert hall performances. In January 2006 he was featured on three concerts at Jazz at Lincoln Center's presentation Detroit: Motor City Jazz, later broadcast on National Public Radio.
Mr. Belgrave is internationally known for his dedication to educational endeavors. He is founder of Detroit's Jazz Development Workshop and co-founder of the Jazz Studies Program at the Detroit Metro Arts Complex (recognized with grants from federal and state levels). He was also an original faculty member with the Oakland University Jazz Studies Program and in 2003 became the first Chair of Jazz Education and Programming for the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. Beneficiaries of his musical tutelage include leading names of today's jazz scene: pianist Geri Allen, bassist Robert Hurst, saxophonist Kenny Garrett, violinist Regina Carter and bassist Rodney Whitaker. The past five years Marcus has served as Professor of Jazz Trumpet at Oberlin University in Ohio.
In recognition of his outstanding artistry, vision, and life-long achievement in jazz education, Marcus Belgrave is the recipient of numerous honors including the Arts Midwest Jazz Master Award, the Michigan Governor's Arts Award, and the Louis Armstrong Award.

The annual spring netting surveys at Flaming Gorge Reservoir continue this week. Ryan Mosley, Flaming Gorge Project Leader for the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, sent in this report from netting Wednesday.
We moved our efforts to Sheep Creek Bay today, where the weather was fantastic and the nets were full of fish! What a great "office", as seen by the sunrise looking east towards the butte that motivated John Wesley Powell to name this area, the Flaming Gorge. The shore sets were dominated by abundant rainbow trout and smallmouth bass. Many of the rainbow trout were in the 16-18 inch range with full stomachs composed of crayfish, midge larvae, flying ants, and zooplankton. Smallmouth bass were ready to "pop" and many of the females were full of eggs and both sexes had stomachs full of their primary forage, crayfish. Lake trout netting was also productive in 65-85 ft of water. We netted seven lake trout up to 23 lbs, and surprise, surprise, a 17-inch kokanee. Kokanee are uncommon in our spring netting surveys, and it's only my second time netting a kokanee in 6-years.We'll conclude the Utah portion of spring netting tomorrow, with another trip up to Sheep Creek Bay.

The Champagny valley, part of La Plagne ski resort, is set to host the seventh Gorzderette Games Jan. 29-31.
The Gorzserette Games is a quirky tournament in a festive and playful atmosphere. Five traditional events are programmed by the Gorzdérés, which was once the name of the area's inhabitants in the local dialect.
These events will take place around the ice tower, the focal point of the event, which will allow two member teams, paired in advance or onsite, to show off their climbing skills. Events for 2010 include ice climbing; beret skiing, a roped party, the hay sled, and tandern snow shoes.
Ice climbing: on the ice tower, beginners as well as experts will try to reach the summit, 22 metres overhead. Each face is inclined to a different degree, for various difficulty levels.
Beret ski: is a cross-country sprint through an obstacle course. A beret launching contest tops off this fun game.
The roped party: you will need balance and coordination for this rock climbing contest along the ground. Teamwork is the keyword to conquer the same obstacles found in real rock climbing, recreated here on a smaller scale.
The hay sled: pulling a hay-filled sled as fast as possible is the goal of this game. Of course, the track is laid with high turns, holes, and bumps, because if not, where's the fun?
Tandem snow shoes: two giant snow shoes, four feet, and a race filled with spills and slips. For this time trial, special snow shoes were invented, with two left feet on one snow shoe, two right feet on the other.
A surprise game is also on the program, but you will have to attend the event to find out what it is.
All of the above games take place Saturday, Jan. 30. Qualifications for the Saturday shows and the showing of a film on the famous Alpinist Gaston Rébuffat take place Friday. Sunday offers visitors the opportunity to freely take part in the activities from Saturday and test various mountain gear for free.

ST. PETERSBURG — For a guy who wasn't even scheduled to play Saturday, rookie C John Jaso had quite the memorable night against the Blue Jays.
Jaso was a late addition to the lineup when C Dioner Navarro was scratched due to soreness in his lower right leg.
All Jaso, 26, did was hit his first career homer, score in the Rays' wild seven-run eighth-inning rally and come up with one of the game's biggest defensive plays.
There was his home run, a two-run shot in the fifth on the first pitch from LHP Ricky Romero that gave the Rays a 2-1 lead. "That was the first; hopefully there's more to follow," Jaso said, smiling.
But what stood out to manager Joe Maddon was Jaso's big block on a Dan Wheeler curveball in the dirt to Alex Gonzalez in the eighth. The play came with runners on first and third and the Rays down one run. Wheeler ended up striking out Gonzalez, and Tampa Bay ended up winning the game.
"It's unbelievable," Wheeler said of Jaso's block. "As a pitcher, you've got to have confidence in your catcher to put the ball down there, try to get a guy fishing."
Maddon has raved about how Jaso has transformed himself defensively since spring training, making the Rays comfortable in having him as the backup catcher with C Kelly Shoppach on the disabled list. Jaso may get more opportunities to play, especially if Navarro gets disciplined by Major League Baseball for making contact with home-plate umpire Dan Bellino after a Friday night ejection.
CATCHING UP: In an effort to show his versatility, Sean Rodriguez told the Rays this spring he'd be willing to play nearly every position, including catcher.
Turns out, if the Rays are in a pinch, he may get his wish.
Maddon has said they are comfortable using Rodriguez as their emergency catcher behind Jaso, if Navarro is unavailable. Rodriguez, who has been working with bullpen coach Bobby Ramos, said he's ready for the challenge.
"Granted, a lot of times when something like that happens, the (emergency catcher) never really gets in," Rodriguez said. "But sometimes, it can happen. If I get in there, I have no problem with that."
Rodriguez said he got experience catching during the summer after his junior year in high school. He said the biggest adjustment would be working with the pitchers on calling the game.
"(Ramos) said he can catch a full game right now," Maddon said. "He feels that comfortable with him."
BOUNCE BACK: After a rough first week of the season, LHP Randy Choate appears to have regained his form. Choate, who saw his ERA jump to 27.00 after giving up seven runs over three mid-April appearances, has four straight scoreless outings. That includes Saturday's bases-loaded strikeout of Fred Lewis in the seventh.
He said Maddon has put him in situations to be successful, which has boosted his confidence, and he has been more comfortable and effective with his slider.
"I think he's getting back to where he should be, and I have all the confidence in the world in him," Maddon said.
MEDICAL MATTERS: DH Pat Burrell wasn't in the lineup for the second straight night against a left-handed pitcher, and Maddon said it was due to stiffness in his upper back. Maddon said Burrell could be back in the lineup today against the Jays.
MISCELLANY: LHP Jake McGee will miss Monday's start for Double-A Montgomery due to knee pain he experienced in his last outing, according to the Montgomery Advertiser. … Ben Zobrist and Choate will sign autographs today for kids 14 and under along the first-base line from noon to 12:30 p.m.

January 3, 2013
On January 2, 2013, hundreds of First Nations and non-Indigenous people converged on Vancouver's Waterfront Station for the latest Idle No More rally. The beating of drums and singing of traditional songs signaled this crowd's solidarity with the movement that is building across the country and beyond its borders. "This isn't just because we want to go out there and sing songs and protest. This is for our land, this is for our future," young Ben Paul from Tsartlip First Nation on Vancouver Island told the crowd.

Hi All, first time here. Appreciate the advice...
I met this girl about a week ago in Manhattan. It was my birthday party, we rented a private room in a bar, needless to say I was drunk. Not the best conditions to meet someone in, let alone at a bar in general. Party ends we go to the main floor where I meet the girl.
We seem to be hitting it off and are talking for a really long time. Friends both male and female take notice and said that she was definitely into me and that it went well etc. She and her friends almost continue on to our friends rooftop for more drinks, it's very late and they end up not going.
We exchange texts the next day and decide to go out on Tuesday (last week) she gives me the heads up that she has work in Philly that day so she won't know what time she'll be back. She also mentions how her and her friends were just talking about how they wished they went back to my friends roof for a drink. I'm unavail the rest of the week, since I'm traveling, so Tuesday is my only day to go out with her.
Monday night I text her to see if she's still good for Tues. She's still good but won't have a better idea about the time until she knows when she is going to leave Philly. She was just getting home from work now, which was late, so clearly she's very busy with her job.
Tuesday she texts me around 6:45... Hey! I'm just leaving Philly now, I'm probably not going to be home until 830 or 9, I'm so sorry I'm slammed with manuscripts, so tonight probably isn't good.
I say no worries, would love to do something next week when i'm back. She says she is off from work on Monday, so that could probably work. I say sounds good, I'm getting home late on Sun so I'll text u during the day on Monday, have a great week etc.
So I go on my trip, I get back and this past Monday I text her asking how her weekend was. I have not heard from her.
Do I just leave it alone, do I try to call her as a last ditch effort? What do you think happened? I've been burned before who hasn't? But this one I can't wrap my head around since she was actively responding and even through out hanging out on Monday.

One of the features that Mac and Linux users alike are accustomed to is having shortcuts to any connected drives sitting on their desktop. It provides a quick and painless way for you to access USB drives, memory cards, cameras, and anything else that you connect to your computer.
Windows users can get the shortcuts on their desktop as well with a handy little application called Desk Drive (from the same people who created FreeSnap). With it you can automatically add desktop shortcuts for any external devices and media, including networked locations. You can also specify drive letters that you want to be excluded.
This is really a feature that you'll either love or hate. Personally I like keeping my desktop as tidy as possible, and don't place many shortcuts on it. If you frequently access an external drive this could be useful to you, but for me it's just added clutter.
The only bad thing is that Desk Drive always needs to be running in order for it to work. It stays tucked away in the System Tray, but it does eat about 12MB of memory while running. Not a whole lot, but enough to make you think twice about using it. You might be better suited to just create shortcuts to your drives the old fashioned way, but that doesn't work so well if you have multiple devices that always get assigned different drive letters.

Democrats to grill PM on Four Seasons meeting - The Nation
Democrats to grill PM on Four Seasons meeting
The Nation on Sunday February 19, 2012 1:00 am
Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra could face close scrutiny in Parliament over her controversial Four Seasons Hotel lunch with a group of businessmen, including Settha Thaweesin, the president of Sansiri Plc.
Democrat Party deputy spokeswoman Mallika Boonmitrakul said the party legal team had submitted a request to the House Committee on Economic Development to launch an assets investigation against the Sansiri chief and records of the company's meetings with Yingluck.
The move came a day after Settha admitted he and a group of seven businessmen met the prime minister at the Four Seasons on February 8 to offer their opinion on the national situation and economic issues such as finance and interest rates.
Parliament erupted in turmoil on Thursday and was ordered closed after the Democrats tried to ask why Yingluck had not attended a House meeting but opted instead to visit the hotel. Yingluck, who was away on an official inspection of the provinces to solve flood problems, was not in Parliament to answer the question.
Mallika said the Democrats had no intention to attack or harass Yingluck on personal issues but the PM was a public figure and all her actions must be accountable. She called on Yingluck to clarify the issue and not use her womanhood to conceal her actions.
"Settha said his group met Yingluck for two hours. We want to know if it was a secret discussion on the real-estate business, which might involve a conflict of interest,'' Mallika said.
The Democrats will also wait for the results of an investigation by the Parliamentary Ombudsman on the same matter.
"Using office hours for business negotiations could be unethical. As a public figure, the PM must be accountable and we wonder if there was any conflict of interest involved in their meeting,'' she explained.
Bangkok Democrat MP Chanin Rungsaeng, a member of the House Committee on Economic Development, said the panel would summon Yingluck and others involved in the controversy to give statements because the issue could involve a conflict of interest and unfair economic development.
Yingluck posted a message on her Facebook page yesterday defending herself, saying it was sad that Thais insulted each other in order to gain advantage in sexuality or work, or for vested and political interests. "I would like to seek cooperation and understanding of the role of women. Thai women must be treated with dignity and honour," she said.
Deputy government spokesman Chalitrat Chantaribeksa defended the PM, saying as the country's top executive, she needed to get information from every business sector to make decisions.
"Meeting businessmen to get information is not wrong. We don't want the Opposition to cast a negative light on every issue because it will not help the country get anywhere,'' he said.
Slavery is the daughter of darkness; an ignorant people is the blind instrument of its own destruction; ambition and intrigue take advantage of the credulity and inexperience of men who have no political, economic or civil knowledge. They mistake pure illusion for reality, license for freedom, treason for patriotism, vengeance for justice

Cal U, IUP in battle of unbeatens
California University rolled through its first three games unbeaten, but running that streak to four in a row Saturday will be a test.
That's because the Vulcans (3-0, 1-0) travel to Indiana to take on seventh ranked IUP (3-0, 1-0) in the fifth annual Coal Bowl.
The 86th all-time meeting between the two schools kicks off at 1 p.m.
IUP, a preseason choice to win the PSAC West, is coming off a 26-0 win over Seton Hill and has pitched shutouts in its last two games and have the top-ranked scoring defense in the country.
Cal U, meanwhile, defeated Edinboro, 20-7, last week in a game that saw the Vulcans force five turnovers.
The veteran-laden Crimson Hawks are led by 16 returning starters from a PSAC championship team that was 12-2 a year ago.
Running back De'Antwan Williams has rushed for 216 yards and three touchdowns while Erik Finkles has 192 yards and has scored six TDs.
IUP's two-headed running game has been impressive as Finkles averages 6.9 yards per carry while Williams, who rushed for over 1,300 yards last season, averages a healthy 5.3 yards per carry.
Quarterback Mike Box has thrown for 652 yards and five TDs, but also has thrown four interceptions. His top receiver is Terrill Barnes, who has 12 receptions for 291 yards and a TD.
The Vulcans will hope to continue its aerial success behind quarterback Cody Schroeder, who has completed 60 of 99 passes for 725 yards and seven TDs.
Mike Williams (15 receptions, 211 yards, 2 TDs) and Trey Johnson (15-165, 1 TD) have been Schroeder's favorite targets.
Ringgold grad Derrick Fiore, who has rushed for 91 yards on 33 carries, scored his first TD last week against Edinboro.
IUP leads the all-time series, 59-24, 2, but the Vulcans have won seven of the last eight meetings.
CAL CLIPS: Both of Cal's top running backs, Jeff Knox Jr. and Fiore, are converted defensive backs ... Schroeder ranks fifth in the PSAC with a 60.5 completion percentage ... While IUP is ranked first nationally in scoring defense, Cal U is No. 2 at 12.0 points per game ... Cal U's Aaron Terry became the first Vulcan freshman to intercept two passes in a game last week since 2006.
