Django Reinhardt introduced a passionate style of Gypsy Jazz guitar that was astonishing in the 1930s and is still revered today. In The Footsteps Of Django brings together the best of the new Gypsy Jazz masters of Europe: Lulo Reinhardt, a third generation master, whose Latin Swing Project combines gypsy jazz with Latin rhythms; Les Doigts de l'Homme, France's leading contemporary gypsy jazz ensemble and, on her first American tour, Norig Gadji, a French singer with a Celtic name and Catalan roots.
In The Footsteps Of Django will perform in Three Stages on Thursday, Oct. 11. The concert is sponsored by Capital Public Radio.
Lulo Reinhardt, the grandnephew of the legendary gypsy jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt, was first taught by his father at the age of 5. At 12, he played in the Mike Reinhardt Sextet and later co-founded the group Django Reinhardt and the Heartbreakers.
In 2007 Saga Instruments of San Francisco made the first Lulo Reinhardt Model Gitane 310, modeled on the classic Gypsy guitars. This inspired Lulo to compose more Swing material, which he combined with Latin music, and in 2007 changed the name of his group to the Lulo Reinhardt Latin Swing Project. The group recorded its first CD in 2008
The Lulo Reinhardt Latin Swing Project has an extensive international touring history. In additional to annual Australian tours beginning in 2008, it has played in the United States, China, France, Switzerland, Belgium, England, the Czech Republic, Scotland and Germany. Lulo also performed as a soloist with the International Guitar Night troupe in 2009, going to the U.K., Canada and America (including Three Stages).
France's leading contemporary gypsy jazz group, Les Doigts de l'Homme, formed as a trio with guitarists Olivier Kikteff, Yannick Alcocer and double bassist Tanguay Blum in early 2003. The group's first album, "Dans Le Monde," followed, and the musicians honed their style by gigging on the street. Word of their energetic and fresh sound soon spread, and by February 2004 they exploded on the scene and played a 70-concert French tour. In 2008 they expanded to a quartet with the addition of guitarist Benoit Convert, already a well-respected gypsy jazz soloist. The group's fuller sound was showcased on the 2008 album "Les Doigts Dans La Prise," another record welcomed with rave reviews.
Daily newspaper Ouest-France captured their appeal, noting, "This band brings a hint of world music, an energy close to punk bands, and an unmistakable authenticity."
Coming from diverse musical backgrounds, the musicians have been brought together by a deep mutual passion for gypsy jazz. On earlier albums, Les Doigts de l'Homme skillfully integrated rock, world music and gypsy elements, while "1910" has a more singular creative focus. It is designed as an homage to the true father of gypsy jazz — guitarist/composer Django Reinhardt, with the title referring to Django's year of birth. As the centenary of Reinhardt's birth approached, Les Doigts de l'Homme decided to mark the milestone by recording a new album inspired by his music.
"We wanted to pay a heartfelt tribute to Django's music and to the amazing musical legacy he has given to us," Guitarist Olivier Kikteff explained. "He is a perpetual source of inspiration."
Django Reinhardt died in 1953, but a half century later he would surely have been proud of the approach Les Doigts de l'Homme have taken in its tribute. Django was influenced and inspired by such varied styles as New Orleans jazz, French accordion music, and American popular music, and a similarly eclectic feel is audible on "1910."
The songs of the gypsies are a murmur, a cry, a call, an incantation, where joy and melancholy restlessly mingle. Norig Gadji is a French singer with a Celtic name and Catalan origins. And Norig's powerful voice, which ranges from that of a child's to a woman in her prime, is never more celebrated then on the stage. Bathed in the spotlight, she is free to show the full intensity of her talent and underscore the beauty of gypsy music.
"A proud manner and a voice that gives you the chills. The ballads evoke an aroma of drama that echoes of carousing and feasts. Norig, embraced by the gypsies whose attention she captivates like spellbound children, is already a leading figure in the gypsy tradition." — Remy Kolpa Kopoul
Norig has performed and toured with Sebastien Giniaux, both with the Sebastien Giniaux Balkan Project and as a duo. She has also recorded music for the soundtrack of Tony Gatliff's film "Exils." Her performance with In The Footsteps Of Django will mark her American debut.
Sebastien Giniaux is an eclectic, passionate musician, originally trained as a classical cellist. He discovered the guitar at age 19 through the music of Django Reinhardt. Over the past 10 years, he has collaborated with a wide range of musicians from Taraf de Haidouks to David Reinhardt. He has formed two bands of his own — the Sebastien Giniaux Balkan Project and the Sebastien Giniaux Trio — and most recently has been performing with Gadji.

And now my timing is all off again. I wasn't near a computer from 11 a.m. until now.
I left the house right after that for a rehearsal. I must not have checked your profile again when I got home. I had checked in the morning. but at that time there was nothing new.
Thank you, Ardy. I was wondering if there wasn't enough pink in it. LOL. I posted it about noon CST yesterday.
Don't know how I missed this one yesterday, Gail, but I did. It's beautiful. Thank you.

Message:The indecisiveness of kelly's mind is a major "clusterf***" for our program.
"I don't know how to make the right decision so I'll play both..."
It's simply amazing to me that a HC at this level can't ascertain which player is better for the team.
Kelly made his bed with Golson, stuck with him far too long and drove him straight into the ground. He's earned the bench. I wish kelly would bench himself too...
I can't imagine that other players being benched for far less egregious mistakes than Golson was making sat well with the team...

WINNIPEG - This time they really mean it.
After taking two unsuccessful cracks at the opening date of their new home, the Blue Bombers have pegged Sept. 21 as the absolute, drop-dead day for taking possession.
Cross their hearts and hope to die.
But proving once again they just can't resist a pair of rose-coloured glasses when they see it, the Bombers say if all goes really, really well down at the U of M, they'll get in 12 days earlier, for the Sept. 9 Banjo Bowl.
From what I saw at the construction site, Wednesday, and from hearing the observations of construction industry experts, that still looks a little pie-in-the-sky.
That magnificent, partial roof on the west side that's caused so many problems due to the wind? They still have to build another one covering the east side stands.
They still have to dig down another seven feet or so to finish the concrete for the lower bowl.
And we haven't even talked about building the field.
Don't get me wrong — from what I can tell the new place is going to be pretty impressive.
I just remain skeptical it'll see a pass thrown in anger before October, or this season at all.
As for the $190-million price tag, it remains guaranteed — sort of.
Costs could actually be closer to $200 million when all is said and done, but the Bombers are picking up the extra tab, adding some bells and whistles they feel are essential.
Like those electronic ribbon boards that flash messages from sponsors, and vastly improved concessions.
Why these basics weren't part of the original plan is curious, but the Bombers say they're going the extra mile at no additional cost to taxpayers.
"The stadium's on its original budget — it's a guaranteed maximum price," chairman Bill Watchorn said. "What we're doing is enhancements that we want. And we're covering that. It could be up to $8 million. We've already budgeted $3 million."
They can afford it, too.
Because the community-owned team has reworked its deal with the provincial government, the one that calls for the Bombers to pay off $85 million of the stadium's cost over 40 years.
"Our original plan and commitment to the government was if we took possession of the stadium June 1, we would make the first payment on the loan in 2013," Watchorn said. "Because we're taking possession in September, our loan obligation starts in 2014 — one year later."
What the average leather-lunged, beer-drinking pigskin fan wants to know is what the place is going to look like when it's done.
Now that I've been inside, I can safely say it's going to be a treat.
The wide-open concourses, the rolling canopies, the two video screens and what looks like great sight lines from anywhere — I'm guessing this place will be pretty special.
"It's spectacular — it takes my breath away," is how Watchorn put it. "Look at the size of it, the scale of it. Compared to the old stadium, the best seats are going to be in the corners. Just like in hockey."
And just like the Jets this past year, it's going to create quite the buzz in this town.
But on this day, the only buzz was the sound of electric saws and pounding hammers.
And the little voice in the back of my mind that won't stop wondering if the Bombers will be called for yet another false start, and eventually announce they won't play here until 2013.
"Is that a possibility?" chief operating officer Jim Bell repeated. "Based on the information we have in hand, and more will be known in the middle of July, but the best information we have collectively ... Sept. 21. But our focus is to do everything we can to get in on Sept. 9."
Hut-one, hut-two...

Associated Press
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Rusty Wallace will headline the fourth class of the NASCAR Hall of Fame and his famed car "Midnight" will be part of his induction.
Wallace, winner of 55 races and the 1989 Cup championship will be inducted Friday night along with champions Buck Baker and Herb Thomas; championship car owner Cotton Owens; and innovative crew chief, mechanic and engine builder Leonard Wood.
Part of Wallace's display in the Hall of Fame will be the car he dubbed Midnight and drove to 13 victories from 1992-94. Wallace led for more than 5,000 laps in the car, which was raced as both a Pontiac Grand Prix and a Ford Thunderbird out of Penske Racing South.
"Back then, it was Dale Earnhardt and I racing for the win all the time," Wallace said. "I remember every week when we got to the track, he'd come up and ask me, 'What car you got? It's not that darn Midnight is it?' If it was, he knew he had his work cut out for him."
Wallace drove Midnight in 38 races, notching 30 top-fives with the car. He led nearly one-third of all possible laps in the events he raced with the car, and Midnight's 13 wins comprise nearly 20 percent of Penske Racing's total.
Midnight was restored last year by former Penske Racing fabricator Chuck Gafrarar and other team members, and the car will go into the Hall in race-ready condition as a 1994 Ford Thunderbird featuring the noted black and gold Miller Genuine Draft paint scheme.
Wallace is a fan favorite heading into the Hall as part of a class with only one other living inductee, Wood, who enters a year after older brother Glenn's induction. Owens died just weeks after he was voted into the hall last June at the age of 88.
Known as the "King of the Modifieds" for more than 100 victories, Owens was part of the post-World War II racing scene around Spartanburg, S.C., and was close friends with NASCAR Hall of Famers Bud Moore and David Pearson, and 1960 NASCAR champion Rex White.
He won nine of 160 races at NASCAR's top level, and finished second in the 1959 championship to Hall of Famer Lee Petty. After transitioning to a car owner and engine builder, his cars won 38 races.
Wood, part of the famed Wood Brothers No. 21 Ford team, is considered with his older brother to be a NASCAR pioneer.
"He's the most dedicated, talented all-around mechanic NASCAR has ever seen," said nephew, Len, co-owner of the current Wood Brothers team. "He fit the term 'chief mechanic.' He could do anything with the car."
As crew chief of the No. 21 for 990 races, Wood's drivers won 96 races. His cars won 117 poles and revolutionized the pit stop.
Baker won 46 Cup races and was the series' first back-to-back champion. His career spanned portions of four decades and began in part because he honed his skills running alcohol after he couldn't find a job following his discharge from the Navy.
His final victory came at age 44 in the 1964 Southern 500, and Baker was named one of NASCAR's 50 Greatest Drivers in 1998.
Thomas won premier series titles in 1951 and 1953, and finished second in two other seasons including 1954, the first of Hall of Famer Lee Petty's three championship seasons.


text: Hello All, Glad to join this forum and I expect to be smoking many great things now that I'm here. Currently live in NY, missing good ol' bbq from Texas, and spent another 1/3 of my life in CA (not so great for cue). Joined here as I've attempted to smoke my first pork belly, probably screwed it with too much pink salt, so excited to learn a bit about proper methods to smoke and grab some recipes / ideas from everyone else. No idea why it's taking me so long to start curing / smoking my own meat. I literally watch two channels on cable, Velocity and Food Network. So being here feels good. Currently I use a weber kettle. One day would love to own a green egg, but happy to with the current digs. Thanks again! Arthur

Episode Recap – Between the Sheets – Not a Fairytale Ending
It's true, fashion can be completely unpredictable, I will give you that. I never knew that when I entered into my venture with Layla and Josh, the dating duo from Between the Sheets, that our time together would have escalated into the finale that it did. I entered into it with the thought I could help BTS turn their business around by keeping what they do AND expanding into a burgeoning market at the same time. Unfortunately, that didn't quite work out as planned. Which is too bad.

The whirlwind summer for Dana Holgorsen—and the entire offseason—can be summed up in about a week's worth of sheer madness. From Holgorsen's status as coach-in-waiting at West Virginia to rumors that coach Bill Stewart and/or his wife were trying to kneecap Holgorsen's reputation to Stewart's forced resignation to Holgorsen's elevation to head coach.
Four days after that surreal late Friday night press conference announced change had arrived one year early at West Virginia, Holgorsen called his first team meeting.
Then he went and jumped out of a plane.
"The landing wasn't too good," he says.
How fantastically fitting. In this ugly offseason, there have been more than a few crash landings.
"I don't know that I've seen a more lively offseason," says LSU coach Les Miles.
Fortunately, we're one month away from what matters most: football. The heat and humidity, the smell of freshly cut grass, the grueling two-a-days. The anticipation of the unknown.
There's a new conference alignment, two new BCS conference championship games—and one eliminated—and enough intrigue to get us through the final weeks of waiting. The Big Ten has 12 teams, the Big 12 has 10 teams, and the new Pac-12 landed the biggest television contract of them all (for now) by adding two programs, Colorado and Utah, that aren't exactly sexy.
If you think that's nutty, get a load of this: LSU is Sporting News' preseason No. 1, despite the fact that the season rests on a historically shaky quarterback (Jordan Jefferson) who has delivered all of one memorable game—and plenty of head scratching—in three years.
"That," an SEC coach said earlier this summer, "is a big step of faith to take."
No bigger than saying Texas A&M will win the Big 12 or Michigan State the Big Ten or West Virginia the Big East. Or Florida State the national title.
Of course it could happen.
If Jim Tressel can essentially be taken down by Terrelle Pryor at Ohio State, anything can happen, and in the past few months it has. Failed NCAA appeals, dozens of arrests, players hospitalized following a grueling winter workout, thousands of dollars in parking tickets and tragically even multiple deaths—all have brought a longing for practice scuffles, position battles and, eventually, kickoffs.
We look forward to the miraculous, something like a five-loss team returning nine months later with the same group—and one new addition—to win it all.
As long as there are no illicit deals or (alleged) cash payoffs or the end of the amateur model as we know it, just about anything will work.
Even jumping out of a plane.

2. Oklahoma
3. Alabama
OL Barrett Jones: "We appreciate it, but we are concerned with where we are ranked at the end of the season. Our only goal right now is to develop into the best team we can be, and things like rankings will take care of themselves."
4. Stanford
5. Oregon
OL Mark Asper: "Preseason rankings are like dialogue on Baywatch—you need them to keep the show going, but they don't mean anything to anyone except nerds."
6. Boise State
7. Florida State
8 Oklahoma State
QB Brandon Weeden: "It's a good place to start. Hopefully, we can move up from there as the season goes on."
9. Nebraska

Coach Bret Bielema: "Excited to be in the top 10! It's a great recognition of what we've accomplished in the past and what our team expects and is working to achieve in the future."
11. Arkansas
12 Texas A&M
Coach Mike Sherman: "The number 12 is very important to Texas A&M, as our fans are the 12th Man. We are honored to be considered, but we understand the ranking is based upon last season's results and the number of players returning this year. The 2011 football team understands it is the work already put in during the offseason, the spring drills and now during the summer that will determine how prepared we are for the upcoming season."
13 Virginia Tech
Coach Frank Beamer: "I think we have a lot of unproven players at critical positions to be ranked that high. I sure hope they know what they are talking about."

Coach Kyle Whittingham: "I think we're in the same ballpark as the teams we've had that have had success. There are so many things that have to line up. You have to stay healthy; you have to have team chemistry. But we like what we have coming back."
22. West Virginia
DL Julian Miller: "It's almost like mixed feelings. It's definitely an honor to be called the best team in the Big East. But we play a lot better when we're in an underdog situation, when we're not picked to do something."
23. Arizona State
WR Aaron Pflugrad: "We definitely have enough talent. But we had the talent last year and didn't finish games. What I've been seeing as far as us coming together as a group, we're definitely a top 25 team."
24. Penn State
QB Matt Barkley: "We're going to be ranked less than usual because of the circumstances with the NCAA and because we don't have as many so-called stud players. But I feel like we'll be able to do better than in past years. We're ready to attack this year and show people we're really a different team than last year and a lot different team from two years ago."
26. Missouri
27. Miami
28. Iowa
WR Marvin McNutt: "I don't know how people make predictions about us because we play so many close games. What it comes down to as much as anything is executing at the end of games. It's not so much about what the experts say but the way the team executes over the year that will make us deserve the rankings we get."
30. Florida
31. Houston
32. South Florida
33. Georgia
QB Aaron Murray: "We've got a little chip on our shoulder and a lot of doubters. Nobody is talking about Georgia. It's making us hungry to get back into the conversation of who can win the SEC East and get to Atlanta and go play for the national championship."
34. Northern Illinois
35. Maryland
36. Pitt
DB Jarred Holley: "I don't really pay attention to that stuff. I mean, of course you take a peek at the magazines. But you can't get caught up in the predictions. I just think we can accomplish all the goals we have for this season."
37. Tennessee
38. San Diego State
39. Northwestern
Coach Pat Fitzgerald: "You tell everybody all summer how great all these teams are going to be. You look at the magazines, blog about it. It's all a big waste of time. I'm off my soapbox now."
40. Michigan
41. North Carolina
42. Texas
43. Boston College
44. Louisville
QB Will Stein: "We really don't get caught up in rankings too much, but it's good to be in the top 50. We know we have a lot of work to do to reach our goals. We have a lot of momentum after winning our bowl game last season. However, we know these rankings won't mean much if we don't take care of business this summer and the start of fall practice."
45. Purdue
K Carson Wiggs: "The Boilermakers are healthy and hungry this year, and we are going to eat!"
Coach George O'Leary: "Obviously we jumped one spot from last year so I guess it shows improvement, but I look at our season more than I do the rankings."
47. Clemson
48. Oregon State
49. Arizona
Coach Mike Stoops: "We play six of this top 25—three of the top eight in September. We'll see."
50. Air Force
51. Georgia Tech
Former coach Bobby Ross: "My philosophy is what's up front is what matters, and they have probably the best offensive line (coach) Paul (Johnson) has had. The defensive line is very, very solid. Reviewing their situation this coming year, I think they need to be ranked higher."
52. Kentucky
53. Temple
54. N.C. State
Coach Tom O'Brien: "I always tell our team it's not where you start, it's where you finish that matters. Last year, our finish was in the top 25, and we return many key players from that team, so we hope to build on that. We're working hard to make sure that we're better than last year."
55. Southern Miss
56. Texas Tech
QB Seth Doege: "Preseason polls give people something to talk about. Postseason rankings are where the players have done all the talking."
57. Washington
58. Baylor
59. Illinois
OL Jack Cornell: "I think Illinois ended the 2010 season better than many teams ahead of us in this poll, and a lot of teams who ranked higher in the poll ended theirs with worse records than many teams below them. Most people think we are going to be rebuilding after losing four players in the draft, but the experience returning should rank us higher than 59. I know our team's expectations are much higher."
60. Cincinnati
Coach Butch Jones: "Preseason rankings are great for generating excitement moving into 2011. Right now, we're looking forward to moving into the next phase of our preparation, which is summer strength and conditioning and then going into training camp in August where the identity of this year's Bearcats will be formed."
61. Hawaii
62, Virginia
Former RB Frank Quayle: "I have to believe you are not far off and might be right on target. They will be better than a year ago. The strengths should be their defense and the offensive line. The quarterback spot is still a very big question mark, and I don't have to tell you how critical that position is these days. I do believe coach (Mike) London has done everything right since his arrival, and I am hopeful that UVa football is headed in the right direction."

70. Navy
71. Duke

Former QB Joel Klatt: "It is such a huge advantage to have an experienced QB, and that is a luxury that CU has with Tyler Hansen. They may have to play 13 straight weeks without a bye, and they might very well struggle to earn a bowl berth, but with (former Buffs) Jon Embree and Eric Bieniemy back in Boulder (as coach and offensive coordinator) this is a team that will be much tougher than we have seen the last five years. Emphasis on the running game and improved schemes will allow the Buffs to win two to three games that they shouldn't."
73. Ole Miss
74. Florida International
75. Toledo
76. Kansas State
77. Minnesota
Former LB Karl Mecklenburg: "I love the number 77, but I think you've ranked the Gophers too low. Coach (Jerry) Kill will have Minnesota competing every week. This year will be the start of a steady climb back to national prominence for the maroon and gold."
78. Ohio
79. Rutgers
80. Miami (Ohio)
81. Nevada
82. Colorado State
QB Pete Thomas: "We're a lot better than 82, but no one knows it just yet. We have a lot to prove, and now that we've got a lot more experience, we're out to make some serious noise. Keep your eyes on Colorado State this year."
83. Troy
85. Wake Forest
87. Iowa State
88. Wyoming
89. Marshall
90. Indiana
91. Vanderbilt
Former LB Hunter Hillenmeyer: "Vandy is always fighting an uphill battle. Stiff academic standards and a smaller student body than the rest of the toughest conference in football makes competing in the SEC a dogfight. In meeting coach (James) Franklin, he seems to have the right stuff to keep Vanderbilt headed in the right direction."
92. Kansas
93. Washington State
Coach Paul Wulff: "I feel like we are a team on the rise. We might start at 93, which is too low in my opinion, but I'm confident we will finish way above that ranking."
94. Louisiana Tech
95. Army
96. Louisiana-Monroe

98. North Texas
99. Akron
100. Middle Tennessee State
Coach Rick Stockstill: "Our University is celebrating its 100th birthday this year, so it is fitting we are an even 100. Basically, I really do not get into any of the preseason stuff because nothing matters until the end of the year."

Its non-league games now a part of the recent past, the Elon football team�s last ride through the Southern Conference begins again and in full today.
This afternoon�s matchup at Furman is the first of seven straight games against familiar opponents that will wind down the season and close the book on Elon�s 11 years in the league.
Then the Phoenix turns the page and starts to move on to the Colonial Athletic Association.
Elon�s veterans, mindful of the sense of history that�s tucked amid these next two months, have been clear about how they want this final Southern Conference chapter to be written.
�It�s our last opportunity to leave our stamp on the SoCon and create a legacy here,� said defensive tackle Tony Thompson, the fifth-year senior.
�For the Elon players who have been here before, for all the staff that we have in the athletic department, we don�t want to leave the SoCon with a sour taste in our mouth,� redshirt junior quarterback Mike Quinn said. �We want to go out winners. So we know what we�ve got to do, just give it our all and not hold anything back.�
And also get busy winning.
Elon went 1-7 in the league to end last season, meaning that it arrives for today�s assignment having lost nine of its previous 11 games dating to September of last year. The two victories in that span came against lowly Western Carolina and West Virginia Wesleyan, a Division II program.
The Phoenix has lost seven consecutive road games.
The last time Elon won away from home was Nov. 12, 2012, its last visit to Furman�s Paladin Stadium. That victory, the most significant in Elon coach Jason Swepson�s two-plus seasons, knocked a nationally ranked Furman team out of the Football Championship Subdivision playoff picture.
�The No. 1 concern on my mind right now is winning. We can�t afford any more losses,� Thompson said. �Winning this weekend would be a huge step to where we want to go, to how we want to finish up.�
After last week�s scoreless second half that transformed a 28-25 lead into a 53-28 non-league loss to Coastal Carolina, Swepson focused much of his post-game talk on Elon�s 0-1 record in the Southern Conference � the result of a 31-21 loss two weeks ago to Appalachian State.
The message had several layers, mainly: what waits ahead on the schedule is how Elon�s season ultimately will be judged and, with seven league games left, plenty of opportunities remain in play.
�We played a tough non-conference schedule and the good thing is we had chances to beat two teams that are still undefeated,� Swepson said, referring to North Carolina A&T and Coastal Carolina. �It�s the second season now and we�ve got a chance to get to 1-1.
�I�m excited about this team. I think the team is excited. I�m just concerned about our psyche. We need a good, positive break to happen and a good, positive win to get us going to where we want to go.�
With Coastal Carolina�s personnel and schemes no doubt still fresh in Elon�s collective mind, and Furman�s personnel and schemes on tap this afternoon, Thompson and Swepson acknowledged this week the considerable value in studying video of last month�s 35-28 victory by Coastal Carolina against Furman.
Last week, Coastal Carolina dumped a school-record 652 yards of total offense on Elon�s defense, with running back Lorenzo Taliaferro (205 rushing yards) and quarterback Alex Ross (297 passing yards, 85 rushing yards) delivering the brunt of the damage.
Thompson said that has stoked the Phoenix with additional motivation.
�As a defensive staff, as a defensive unit, we know what happened last weekend,� he said. �Up front was embarrassing. Any time you give up that many yards, it isn�t what you want at all.�
Kickoff: 1:30 p.m. today
TV on Internet: ESPN3 Radio: WPCM-FM 95.1, WPCM-AM 920
Where: Paladin Stadium (capacity 16,000)
Coaches: Jason Swepson (third season at Elon, 9-18). Bruce Fowler (third season at Furman, 11-15).
Series: Furman leads 11-5
Extra points: Furman�s 31-17 victory last year stopped Elon�s four-game winning streak in the series. � Elon has won its last two games at Furman, by margins of 19-12 in 2009 and 41-34 in 2011. � Today marks the 200th football game at Paladin Stadium, which opened in 1981. Furman is 153-45-1 all-time there and is playing on newly installed field turf this season. � After an 0-2 start, Furman is coming off a 21-20 victory against Presbyterian and a 24-17 defeat of The Citadel. � Elon is 6-for-7 on fourth-down conversions this season. � B.J. Bennett, Elon�s leader with 252 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns, is listed as questionable with a sprained ankle that kept him out of the second half of last week�s loss to Coastal Carolina. Swepson said Bennett�s injury isn�t a high ankle sprain, which typically requires much more time to recover from. � Furman true freshman quarterback Duncan Fletcher came off the bench in the second half last week at Citadel when starter Reese Hannon went down with knee and ankle injuries. Fletcher�s 43-yard completion to Gary Robinson in the fourth quarter set up Tanner Skogen�s 13-yard touchdown run, which broke a 17-17 tie and provided the eventual game-winning margin. � Elon�s Zach Duprey, a backup tight end, has one catch in his college career. That went for a 2-yard touchdown last week. � Furman linebacker T.J. Warren, a redshirt freshman, supplied seven tackles, including three for lost yardage, in his first college start last week.

I already knew my sister was a bitch because, well, she always has been... but when she stooped to telling me that my daughter is destined to be a stripper because apparently 'Lexi' is a stripper name, and that's what I call her sometimes. No, she wasn't joking.. she is cruel and I have just cut her out of my life completely. Psssychooo!
Not really a question coming from there sooo I'll ask: Has anyone close to you said something outrageously ridiculous & hurtful you could not believe it? What was it?

I have not spoken with my brother in 4 years. He is mad at me for my mother not leaving him more money in her will. I had nothing to do with what my mother decided to do with her money.

New Delhi, Feb 25 (IANS) Describing "common people" as the focus of all his initiatives, Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu on Thursday proposed long-distance superfast trains for unreserved travel.
Presenting the Rail Budget 2016, Prabhu said the Indian Railways would introduce an "Antyodaya Express" long-distance superfast train for common people, to run on dense traffic routes.
The railways would add two to four "Deen Dayalu" coaches to some long-distance trains for unreserved travel, which would have drinking water facilities, the minister added.
The minister also proposed a new "Hamsafar Express" for fully airconditioned three-tier AC travel with meals service.

Itech fan problem(?)
anssi posted a topic in Amplifier TroubleshootingHi, I´m using one IT4000 and one IT8000 in a well ventilated rack. Randomly the amps increase their fan speed considerably (one or other of the amps, this is also random). Fans keep running at high levels for a while and then go back to "normal". Note that this happens also with no or very low input signal - when there shouldn´t be any significant heat production. I´ve found this very disturbing in quiet situations (with acoustic instruments, lavalier mics etc). Is this behaviour normal and is there any way to prevent it? Thanks for all the help! Anssi Karjalainen
Done that now. Didn´t help. I removed all Frameworks versions and reinstalled after booting the computer. When I got to Framework 2.0 I installed System Architect 1.3 R2 (before any Framework 2.0 updates). After trying that i installed rest of Framework updates. No change. Glad to notice theres a new release of System Architect, 1.40 R1. Seems to work fine so far! Anyway, DGlass, thanks for help.

System Architect error
anssi posted a topic in System Architect / HiQnet TroubleshootingOut of the blue my System Architect wouldn´t start one day. I get Microsofts error reporting notice, but thats it. When looking at EventViewer (eventvwr.exe) this is what it says: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Source: .NET Runtime 2.0 Error Reporting Class: 5000 EventType clr20r3, P1 systemarchitect.exe, P2 188.8.131.52, P3 4582e5d3, P4 systemarchitect, P5 184.108.40.206, P6 4582e5d3, P7 86e, P8 dc, P9 system.typeinitialization, P10 NIL. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- When searching Google for this error I´ve noticed that I´m not the only one with this kind of problem. I haven´t found anyone having the same with System Architect though. And no solution there. So, the problem has something to do with .NET Framework. That´s all i know. I realize this is propably an OS problem and could be solved by reinstalling OS, but I really wouldn´t want to do that. It´s a weeks project to get everything back the way it was. I have a fairly new JBL VRX932 rig with I-Tech amps and XTi´s as monitor amps. Since I haven´t done many gigs with it yet it would be almost essential to have PC control for the amps (I use internal Xovers, EQ´s etc..). thanks for any help! -anssi

Dissertation Fellowship Mellon Sawyer Seminar Series "Territorial Roots and Diasporic Routes: Native American and Indigenous Cultural Politics in the Americas"
Fri, March 21, 2014
Dissertation Fellowship Mellon Sawyer Seminar Series
"Territorial Roots and Diasporic Routes:
Native American and Indigenous Cultural Politics in the Americas"
The University of Texas at Austin
Native American and Indigenous Studies (NAIS) and the Teresa Lozano Long Institute of Latin American Studies (LLILAS) invite UT Austin and UT affiliated PhD candidates to apply for a one-year Dissertation Fellowship with the Mellon Sawyer Seminar Series on "Territorial Roots and Diasporic Routes: Native American and Indigenous Cultural Politics in the Americas" (description follows).
The successful candidates will show interest in dialogue and critical thought across North-South divides in indigenous studies, and should be working on a dissertation project in the field. Applicants must be PhD candidates with a clear and demonstrable progress in their dissertation writing process. Disciplinary specialization is open. The selected candidates will be expected to participate in the bi-weekly Sawyer Seminar series, which will bring together UT faculty across schools and will draw indigenous scholars from throughout the hemisphere during academic year 2014-2015. The dissertation fellows will be located either in NAIS or LLILAS, depending on primary research focus. Appointment will begin September 1, 2014, and will provide a stipend, plus standard benefits. To apply, please send a one-page letter of application, dissertation abstract, and a letter from your dissertation supervisor describing at what stage of the dissertation research and writing you are. All materials should be sent in pdf format to Professor Luis Cárcamo-Huechante at: firstname.lastname@example.com. All materials must be received by April 11, 2014, to be considered.
Description of the Sawyer Seminar Series:
The seminar series will explore the relationship between indigenous territory and diaspora in the Americas. We depart from the understanding that, while there is an assumed incompatibility between "indigenous" (original to a place) and "diaspora" (dislocated from an original space), this dichotomy obscures the lived experiences of indigenous peoples, who have been in movement for various reasons, including population pressures, forced relocation, war, territorial dispossession, and "voluntary" labor migration (to name just a few). While these processes have generated tensions in relation to place-based identities and claims to territorial homelands, indigenous peoples have also creatively engaged these tensions, refashioning their sense of belonging, adapting cultural resources to new conditions, reframing claims to rights, and generating new forms of political organization. This territory-diaspora relationship provides the first axis of dialogue for the Seminar. The second axis is geographic: although joined by common histories of colonial oppression and a foundational relationship to the earth, and unified by many cultural-political affinities, indigenous peoples of North and South also have substantively divergent experiences. While in the past these differences have generated obstacles to efforts of hemispheric organization and of comparative analysis, some of the most exciting emergent trends in indigenous studies directly engage, rather than avoid, these tensions. This Seminar will encompass cases from both North and South in the realms of language, identity, cultural production, and political organization. These discussions will seek understandings that bridge North-South differences and illuminate the ways indigenous communities are negotiating the complexities of the territory-diaspora crossroad throughout the hemisphere.

Ruger customer service
I am spreading the word to all my shooting friends who might be interested. Ruger customer service is INCREDIBLE. It may be matched by others in the industry, but not exceeded, at least in this instance. I had a Ruger Red Label shotgun with a minor problem, My buddies know about this; the safety was re-engaging after the first shot, and causing the second shot not to fire unless you held the safety off while shooting. I didn't get around to actually packing it up and sending the gun off to Ruger until November 30th. I had called them and gotten the number they needed on the package to be able to accept the gun (RMA number), but didn't send it off for several days. The only way I could send it myself was via UPS or Fed-ex Ground (so I did). This is only relevant since it took three days to make the trip. Thus, Ruger received the gun December 3rd. I received notification today that it was being shipped back to me. Initially, I feared the worst. I thought there might have been nothing they could do, so they were just shipping it back. I called, and my fears were put to rest. They fixed it, and it passed the test fire, and was on its way back to me, all free of charge.
Thus, Ruger took it in, did the work necessary and got it back to me in less than ten working days. This from a company that is incredibly busy manufacturing more than 1 million guns in the last 12 months. I am not sure where they found the time. I was already a fan of this company's well made (if not sometimes slightly overbuilt) firearms, but I am now a big fan of their customer service too. They took care of me even though I was not the original purchaser of that particular arm.
Well done Ruger!

my kid enjoys taking piano lessons, fun methods & good teacher.
Good place, carinf teacher. We like it
My 5years old kid have been learning here for 2 years and will continue as we are happy for our daughter 's learning process. She loves all the songs that she learnt play & also love teacher very much.
First we booked for a free trial lesson as this place charges very affordable prices but they provide quality lessons. I got 2 kids and the younger one 3.5 years old is too young to start piano lessons,and teacher recommend other places for group dancing/singing classes, so teacher only chose my 6 years old. Teachers are so kind and honest, they won't take your children for lessons until your children are ready to learn piano. And my son likes iit, he can't wait for the next lesson.
My 5 years old son really enjoys leanring piano at Tyna' place- wunderkinds piano. Its such a lovely and talent teacher. teacher is so kind & nice to the young kids. Love the way she uses technology like ipad to help the kids learn music realy fun and easy. I recommend this place for young students.

My son Cameron enrolled in Steven's keyboard classes at our primary school, he was so professional and Cameron loved him! He was orginally struggling with some songs and having little passion for the keyboard but after one term with Steven he ended up playing at our wedding! I highly recommend him! - Vanessa

I would like to recommend Francis to anyone who is looking for a good piano teacher. When I was a kid, I learned piano but my teacher taught me in a very uninspiring way. I wanted to teach my kids but because I am their father, they don't listen to me. I believe I need someone else to teach my kids. I am very surprised that Francis has been teaching my kids in a very interactive way. My kids are very into piano now and they are willing to practise without me having to push them. Francis has been fantastic since the first lesson. The way Francis teaches my kids is faster and better. I wish I had someone like Francis as my piano teacher when I was a kid.
Francis has been teaching my kids for more than two years. He helped my kids realise their potentials. My kids are now able to play a lot of famous pieces easily. Thanks to the teacher – Francis. Recently, my kids received music award of the year from school and we are really proud of them. Francis made the impossible become possible. I would highly recommend him if you are looking for a piano teacher.
My family are very happy with the piano lessons offered by Mr. Francis Leung. He is a very kind teacher and works hard as always. He made learning the piano very easy for my son. My son was a complete beginner but recently got an A from his AMEB piano exam. My family are very happy about the result. He is able to demonstrate different piano repertories and play all of them musically. I would recommend Mr. Francis Leung if you are looking for a good piano teacher.

I truly enjoy my piano lessons with Deborah. She helps me a lot in improving my skills, motivates and encourages me to learn more technically challenging pieces. My piano playing has improved a lot since I started my lessons with her early last year.
I have learned a lot from Deborah since I started my private piano lessons with her over a year ago. My sight reading has improved a lot and I always look forward to my weekly lessons with her.
Deborah has been instrumental in rekindling my two 15-year-olds' interest in playing the piano. Now they practice without needing to be reminded, and actually enjoy doing so. She connects really well with them, gives them plenty of room to explore different genres of music that interest them, and is very respectful and sensitive to their individual needs and interests. Thanks Deborah.
Deborah has a warm personality. I believe that her ability to connect well with my son has enabled him to enjoy playing music and be motivated to improve his skills.
I have started my piano lessons with Deborah late in my life.I am enjoying every lesson and find this it a great challenge.The best enjoyment is my 2 year old grand daughter who loves to practice piano with her Nanna.

LaToya Jackson said her late brother Michael is haunting the family compound in Encino.
I smell a reality show cooking somewhere.
According to WEN, Jackson says she has learned of a series of strange events at the home, leading her to believe Michael is still making regular visits. The source of this info is a family bodyguard.
"He says it happens so much," Jackson says. "Every single night the dog barks and he looks up at this certain window… I said, 'That's where Michael's bedroom was, that's where he stayed.'
Right. Didn't he avoid his family the last 20 years or so of his life? You would think he certainly has better things to do in the afterlife.
"He barks at a certain time every night and he just keeps barking and looking at it… and then over in the other section of the house, he says that he hears someone tap dancing."
Maybe Sammy Davis Jr.'s ghost is lost.
"Michael did that every Sunday for two hours straight; he would do that to keep his adrenaline going."
LaToya Jackson said she was so intrigued by the family bodyguard's tales, she called on a top psychic to try and reach her brother, who died in 2009.
"I was like, 'If Michael wants to talk, if he wants to tell me something, I want to know.':
I think he wants to tell you to stop saying crazy things to the media.
"He (psychic) didn't know that I was coming, he didn't know it was me … . I wrapped myself up and had on glasses, so he wouldn't know it was me, and he started telling me things and he knew right away…. When they tell you something personal that you and your brother only know… then you've gotta say, 'OK, this is really good!'"
Remember that reality show where LaToya was tasered? I think we're finally seeing the effects.
Jackson said her chats with the psychic, she calls A.J., have helped her find peace after previously insisting her brother's death was no medical accident.
"He (psychic) knew about me wanting to really know what happened, and he said, 'Michael wants you to just rest and move on with your life…'"
Yes, Please do.
PEOPLE MAGAZINE LIKES GWYNETH PALTROW: Gwyneth Paltrow is People magazine's 2013 Most Beautiful Woman.
I can tell you that the Salma Hayek fan club isn't pleased this morning.
The list also includes Kerry Washington, Amanda Seyfried, Zooey Deschanel, Jane Fonda, Jennifer Lawrence, Kelly Rowland, Halle Berry, Drew Barrymore, Pink. The entire list will be published in the new People magazine, which hits newsstands Friday.
People.com published the usual fawning story about how Paltrow just feels like a normal girl … you know, if normal girls name their kids Apple and Moses, marry British rock stars and conduct press conferences in flawless French.
Anyway, back to the fawning. Paltrow said her kids, Apple, 8, and Moses, 7, don't see her as anything but mom.
"Around the house, I'm in jeans and a T-shirt. I don't really wear makeup. That's what they're used to," she said. Talking about her husband, Coldplay singer Chris Martin, Paltrow said "He'll make a joke about it. If I've gotten fully dressed up, he'll be like, 'Oh, wow! You're Gwyneth Paltrow!' Because he's used to seeing me in like baggy shorts and frizzy hair."
How terribly normal of her.
Paltrow is obviously a busy most beautiful woman. Her second cookbook "It's All Good," debuting at No. 1 on the New York Times bestseller list and her next film, "Iron Man 3," hits theaters on May 3, Paltrow credits her workout routine for keeping her looking youthful and less tired.
"It makes me look younger and feel strong," said Paltrow, who allegedly does something called the Tracy Anderson Method five days a week. "When I first started, I thought, 'I'll never be good at this. This is a nightmare!' But now it's like brushing my teeth, I just do it."
Right. Like it's the most normal thing in the world.
Paltrow said she wants to instill a good body image in both her kids, especially now that her daughter is starting to become interested in things like makeup. "When we're home sometimes, she'll put on mascara. And sometimes I'll let her wear something out to dinner — but just a little dab," she said.
"Also having a father who adores you the way that he adores her is very good for your body image. The more we can love her and let her be who she is, the more confident she'll feel."
MARK WAHLBERG OPEN TO FUNKY BUNCH REUNION: Mark Wahlberg is ready to reunite with the Funky Bunch.
That's right — people can start calling him Marky Mark again without fear of having their face punched in by Wahlberg's pythons of steel.
Wahlberg told TMZ on Wednesday morning that he would be open to reuniting with his early '80s hip-hop crew to raise money for the victims of the Boston bombings.
Wahlberg hasn't wanted to revisit those days since he became a big star actor. But last week's events in his hometown of Boston have apparently changed that.
Members of the Funky Bunch told TMZ in March that they'd be down for a reunion with Wahlberg.
JUSTIN BIEBER GIVES UP MONKEY: Justin Bieber is giving up his monkey.
That sounds sort of strange, doesn't it?
Bieber's pet Capuchin monkey, Mally, has been in a Munich animal shelter since March 28, when Bieber arrived on a private plane for a concert. Customs officials took the baby monkey when Bieber couldn't provide the necessary paperwork to bring Mally into the country.
Roberta Mioni Coltro, a spokesperson for Munich Tierschutzverein, told E! News: "Justin Bieber's management contacted us and they will give up Mally."
"They are asking us for a good home for Mally," adding that the authorities still need an official document from Justin's manager rather than just an email.
The ultimate decision about Mally's future home, however, is up to the Federal Agency for Nature Conservation rather than the shelter. Coltro said, "We only can make a recommendation and we don't want to send Mally in the zoo, because the zoos will only (publicize) Mally … We (Tierschutzverein) want Mally in a rescue center or some organization for primates."
Right. Monkeys hate the paparazzi.
There's a Mickey Dolenz joke in there just waiting to happen.
Coltro also said Mally will not have to part with his constant stuffed animal companion: "Mally will take the 'stuff cat' with him."
We can all sleep better now.
Bieber was reportedly charged a fine and the cost of the quarantine as a result of the incident.
ZOOEY DESCHANEL NOT A TERRORIST: Zooey Deschanel is not a bomber.
Maybe she has gotten bombed, or someone thinks she's the bomb, or a bombshell. But she's not a bomber, despite what some people might have seen on a Texas television station last week.
A TV captioning service has apologized for misidentifying the "New Girl" star last week as one of the Boston bombing suspects on a Texas news broadcast.
Lawrence, Kan.-based Caption Solutions says it and its captioner "deeply regret" the mistake. Company president Kala J. Patterson said in a statement issued Tuesday they "sincerely apologize for this error."
No biggie. So you called a Hollywood actress a terrorist. That sort of thing happens on Fox News all the time.
According to the Huffington Post, the erroneous onscreen text appeared during coverage by the Fox network affiliate KDFW in Dallas-Fort Worth of Friday's manhunt for a bombing suspect. It read "Marathon Bomber. He is 19-year-old Zooey Deschanel."
The suspect was 19-year-old college student Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who later was arrested and hospitalized.
For those keeping track at home, Deschanel is 33.
Deschanel learned about the mistake over the weekend and tweeted: "Whoa! Epic closed captioning FAIL!"
BEYONCE BANS PHOTOGRAPHERS: Beyoncé has banned media photographers from her Mrs. Carter Show World Tour.
The Guardian reported Wednesday Beyoncé is not granting photo credentials on the tour, which kicked off in Serbia last week and which comes to HP Pavilion in San Jose July 2. Instead, Beyoncé has hired a photographer whose concert pics will be distributed to the press after each show.
Other artists, including the Killers and Prince, are known for doing the same thing.
This sounds like a disturbing trend. Before you know it, performers will insist that only their publicists review their shows. Criminals will be distributing their own grainy crime shots, so no one publishes their bad side.
The decision comes after Beyonce's publicist asked BuzzFeed to remove "unflattering" photos of the singer's Super Bowl's performance. The photos were also reportedly removed from Getty.
It's not clear if the strategy's working, though. The unflattering photos (and memes created from them) have been popping up all over the Internet.
Beyonce's management company released two photos from the first show of her tour last Monday. But, as the Huffington Post UK pointed out, nonofficial photos taken by members of the crowd have also been circulating.
Professional photographer Noam Galai — who also works for the Huffington Post's parent company AOL — wrote in a blog post for Fstoppers:
"… we all know how media works — they will do anything possible to get images that other publications don't have. If they can't send a photographer to give them original photos, the next best thing they can do is buy photos from fans in the front rows in the arena (cameras were not allowed, but no one can take away phones). It's the next best thing for them, and a huge nightmare for Beyoncé and her publicist."
Just for the record, we won't do ANYTHING to get images other papers don't have. I happen to know of a photo editor who actually refused to sell one of his children for Van Halen photos back in the '80s.
