|1,052 sq. ft.
|Property type
Waterfront cottage on Butler's Cove off Budd Bay in South Puget Sound near Olympia. Cottage sits 13 feet from water's edge. Boat, swim at high tide; beach comb at low tide. Quiet, wooded acre setting where you may spot deer, bald eagles, blue herons and other wildlife and birds. 27 steps (cement) with handrail down from the parking area to the house.
Perfect location for visitors to The Evergreen State College or to the State Capitol. Great option for a romantic get away or for a family vacation. Cabin is five minutes from west Olympia (where you will find Skep `n Skein Pub, Vic's Pizza, grocery stores, food co-op, shopping, restaurants, plus movie theaters and shopping at Capitol Mall), and ten minutes from downtown Olympia (live theatre, waterfront boardwalk, marinas, Hands On Childrens' museum, restaurants, Fish Brewery/Brew Pub, and the State Capitol campus).
Good base for visits to Washington coast and Olympic Peninsula, as well as Mt. St. Helens and Mt. Rainier.
My family has owned this waterfront cottage since 1982. We lived there full time for 11 years before building a larger house to accommodate out growing (now grown) children. We continue to vacation at the cottage, hold family gatherings, or just go over for a walk on the beach or for a outing in the boat. We live not far away from the cottage so if you need anything while you are there, have questions, need directions or referrals, etc., we are usually nearby to be of assistance. The cottage is set up like a home and you will be quite comfortable there.
Deborah Pattin purchased this cottage in 1982
We fell in love with the property the minute we first saw it in June 1982. The cottage is nestled at the base of a hill on an acre of forested land. The road to the property is a windy country road that hugs a forested hillside. The second you drive onto the road, you feel the cooler temperature, smell the forest and the water. You give a relaxing sigh. Ah, relaxation. From the decks of the cottage, you are only 13 feet from the shore edge and you can watch the tides come in and out, and view the wildlife: deer, seal, blue heron and other sea birds, salmon, river otters and more. A wonderful place to relax.
Close to town but it feels like you are miles away. You can be downtown or at the State Capitol in 10 minutes, to The Evergreen State College in 5 minutes or less, and to Hwy 101 or Interstate 5 within 5 minutes, as well as to major grocery stores, shopping centers, service stations, movie and live theatres, pubs, restaurants, churches, museums, medical offices and the hospitals within minutes. But it feels like you are out in the country, in a quite, private retreat.
We were snug as bugs in a rug during the snow storm in February. It was great to have the cozy cabin to return to each evening during our 5 weeks on the job in Olympia.
We love the view, the convenience and coziness of this cabin.
Thoroughly enjoyed my weekend in your cottage. So close to town and other beautiful sights. It was a perfect spot for a a quick trip to see my daughter. The kitchen staples and spices certainly made it easy. The wood stove warms the main room nicely. Views of bay, flora and fauna are amazing! Can't wait to come back for a longer stay. Communication was A+.
We enjoyed a small family reunion, sfter my husband's sister Ruth arrived unexpectantly from CA. Thank you to Deb for helping keep Ruth's arrival on our second day secret, making her surprise arrival so perfect for us all.
A great spot to spend a quiet evening and lazy mornings during a week exploring Olympia and surrounds with my brother-in-law we had come there specifically to visit. A special completion to our west coast trip to Alaska and WA and a truly great respite before returning home back east from our trekking in Denali, etc.
Thanks for everything, the well marked cabinets, the comfortable beds, the easy to manage kitchen and comfortable dining area, and above all the beautiful cove views from almost all the windows.
A short drive downtown takes you to all the main attractions, parks and restaurants. Will be reccommending you to friends.
Brenda Hollweger.
The beach cottage was perfect, stocked with everything we needed to have a stress free and enjoyable stay. The surroundings were beautiful, the cottage very comfortable and the location very convenient.
The driveway view alone was beautiful. The trees and view of the inlet were perfect. Every day we saw a harbor seal and/or otters. The house was very clean, and we loved the fact that there were basics in the kitchen. There were spices and salad dressing, oils for cooking which was great because at our other homes on this trip we had to buy everything. It can add up real quick and then you have to toss it when headed home. The owner was very helpful and provided brochures and books on the area. We would like to stay here for a full month next time. There is also easy access to the Olympic peninsula and surrounding areas.
We loved every bit of it. The house is right on the water with beautiful views inside and outside. It was clean, with plenty of space for four people. We loved the cottage feel and definitely want to come back :)
Cottage is located on Butler Cove, a tidal saltwater cove off Budd Bay in south Puget Sound. Nestled in a wooded area, the cottage is less than 5 minutes from The Evergreen State College and only 10 minutes from the State Capitol and downtown Olympia. Butler Cove is a tidal area that empties to a stream at low tide and fills to the bulkhead at high tide.

Former American Idol judge Kara DioGuardi shared the first photo of her new son, Greyson James, this past week. The new mama looks positively smitten with her little bundle of joy, who was born via gestational surrogate on January 31. In fact, seeing the picture of Greyson in the hospital brings back memories of when my two babies were born!
Just check out the familiar blanket and little hat Greyson sports on Us Weekly's site. DioGuardi's son was born in California and then took his first road trip back home to Maine, according to the magazine. A cross-country voyage with a newborn must have been quite an adventure for the talented songwriter and her husband, Mike McCuddy, who she married in 2009.
It seems DioGuardi is already learning how much motherhood can change a person. "i never thought i'd say love and minivan in the same sentence," she tweeted from the road with her new family.
While I am yet to trade in my SUV for a minivan, there are plenty of things I do now that I'm a mom that I never thought I'd do. For instance, I actually stored my precious high heels away in a storage closet in favor of flats. Unfortunately, my favorite footwear is not functional for my daily life of caring for two young kiddos.
I hate to tell the Hollywood songstress, but a minivan is just the beginning of the changes she will make in her life to accommodate little Greyson. The good news is that she probably won't care one bit!
Meanwhile, Kara DioGuardi is not the first star mom to explore gestational surrogacy. What to Expect When You're Expecting actress Elizabeth Banks recently welcomed her second son via surrogate. And perhaps most famously, Giuliana Rancic welcomed a son, Edward, in the same manner after struggling to conceive for years.
What have you done that you never thought you would once you became a mom?

McLeish salutes Zarate kid
Birmingham boss Alex McLeish praised his team saying on-loan star Mauro Zarate's finishing was "sublime" to kill off Man City 3-1
By Hayley Paterson
Last Updated: 29/03/08 10:44pm
Birmingham boss Alex McLeish praised his team saying on-loan star Mauro Zarate's finishing was "sublime" to kill off Man City 3-1.
The Scotsman urged everyone to get behind his side after the club's previous three games without a win, and saluted his players for bouncing back.
"People were pessimistic after last week's result, in seven days it can all change again and that's the way it's actually happened," he said.
"We must keep being positive, the Birmingham fans and everyone associated with the club because I think the players gave a really positive performance."
The Blues were dominant throughout the game and got their just rewards when Zarate lobbed Joe Hart from Franck Queudrue's throughball.
The Argentinian doubled the lead with a superb finish into the bottom corner leaving McLeish happy with his on-loan striker.
He said: "I'm not going to tell him what to do when he gets the ball at his feet because he's got fantastic talent, his finishing today was absolutely sublime, the type of finishing associated with many foreign players - especially the South Americans."
Sour ending
Birmingham's sour ending of the game came when Queudrue was sent off after his back-pass fell to Benjani and then his last-ditch tackle brought down the Zimbabwe international.
"I think City were dead and buried by then and we felt strong, it was a powerful performance by us.
"He (Queudrue) is gutted, despite that he had a great game, unfortunately that lead to the goal but it was a stalwart performance from Franck Queudrue."
Elano netted the resulting penalty and then more controversy followed when Man City's Sun Jihai was deemed to have fouled Gary McSheffrey, who stepped up to take the spot-kick for 3-1.

Pioneer Southwest Energy Partners L.P. Announces Acquisition of Spraberry Properties from Pioneer Natural Resources Company
Posted by: gurufocus (IP Logged)
Date: August 31, 2009 04:18PM
Press Release: Pioneer Southwest Energy Partners L.P. Announces Acquisition of Spraberry Properties from Pioneer Natural Resources Company
DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Pioneer Southwest Energy Partners L.P. ("Pioneer Southwest" or the "Partnership") (NYSE:PSE) today announced that it has acquired certain oil and gas properties in the Spraberry field in West Texas from Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") for $171.2 million in cash. The transaction value also includes the assignment of 2009 through 2013 commodity price derivative positions.
The acquisition is accretive to Pioneer Southwest's operating cash flow, which is forecast to increase in 2010 and 2011 by more than 35% and 55%, respectively, as compared to pre-acquisition operating cash flow forecasts for the same periods. The acquisition is also expected to improve the Partnership's coverage ratio (distributable cash flow in excess of distributions) to approximately 1.15 in 2010.
The acquired properties have estimated proved reserves of approximately 18.9 million barrels oil equivalent, of which 37% are proved developed reserves and 63% are proved undeveloped reserves (approximately 170 40-acre drilling locations). Netherland, Sewell & Associates, Inc., an independent reserve engineering firm, audited the proved reserves of the acquired properties. Production from the acquired properties is approximately 1,300 barrels oil equivalent per day. Of this amount, approximately 65% is oil, 20% is natural gas liquids and 15% is gas.
The Board of Directors of the general partner of the Partnership approved the acquisition, based in part on the unanimous recommendation in favor of the acquisition from its Conflicts Committee. This committee of independent directors retained independent legal and financial advisors to assist in evaluating the transaction. The investment bank of Houlihan Lokey acted as the financial advisor to the Committee and delivered a fairness opinion for the use of the Conflicts Committee in connection with the transaction.
Pioneer Southwest used its $30 million of cash on hand and borrowings under its credit facility to fund this transaction and related expenses. The Partnership's liquidity position is expected to remain strong after the acquisition with approximately $135 million of availability under its credit facility. The Partnership is considering a public offering of common units later this year of approximately $75 million, subject to market conditions, to retire a portion of the debt incurred to fund the acquisition and to enhance its liquidity and financial flexibility.
The Partnership plans to commence a two-rig drilling program on these properties during the fourth quarter of 2009 and expects to invest approximately $60 million through the end of 2010 to develop proved undeveloped reserves. The 2009-2010 drilling program is expected to be funded primarily from cash flow and, to a lesser extent, from borrowings under the Partnership's credit facility. Internal rates of return from the new wells are expected to be at least 50% assuming August strip prices and market well costs. Average daily production is forecasted to grow by more than 15% in 2010 compared to 2009.
Pioneer Southwest had a strong derivative position prior to the acquisition to protect cash distributions, with approximately 75% of production protected in 2009, 70% in 2010 and 45% in 2011. Based on forecasted production following the acquisition and the derivatives that were assigned from Pioneer, derivative coverage has now been extended into 2013 using a combination of swaps and three-way collars with coverage levels of approximately 75% in 2009, 80% in 2010, 75% in 2011, 75% in 2012 and 60% in 2013.
Scott D. Sheffield, Chairman and CEO of the Partnership's general partner, stated, "This acquisition demonstrates our commitment to grow the Partnership through strategic acquisitions, especially in our core Spraberry operating area. These low-decline Spraberry producing properties, coupled with our planned low-risk, high-return drilling program and attractive derivatives position, will add to our predictable, stable cash flow and are well suited to support and potentially grow future distributions. The Partnership is also expected to benefit from the additional upside in this transaction, including production from the deeper Wolfcamp formation, approximately 250 20-acre drilling locations and future waterflood potential."
Conference Call
On Tuesday, September 1, 2009 at 9:00 a.m. Central Time, Pioneer Southwest will discuss the Spraberry acquisition with an accompanying presentation.

FRANK J. OTERI: Are there dos and don'ts for film music that don't apply to music for the concert hall and visa versa?
ELLIOT GOLDENTHAL: I wouldn't know. Because every time I think I know something someone comes along and does it right. I don't know anything about dos and don'ts.
FRANK J. OTERI: Is there something you'd write….
ELLIOT GOLDENTHAL: (laughing) Don't make people bored!
FRANK J. OTERI: (laughing) In either one?
ELLIOT GOLDENTHAL: No.
FRANK J. OTERI: Are there things you'd write in a film score that you wouldn't write in a piece for concert hall?
ELLIOT GOLDENTHAL: Well, there are times in film music where you have to create tension, or you have to suspend time, and do it in a way where it's completely unobtrusive. So much so that the content of the music has to be so spare that there can't be much that is intellectual or bits of complexity. Sometimes at the concert hall you might want more to elapse within a timeframe, sometimes. But there are times when you still have to clear the palette for more dense information as well.
FRANK J. OTERI: Well, it's interesting because in the concert hall you don't have a film image accompanying the music, so basically the music is all you've got. The music has to be one hundred percent of the sensory information to the audience members. Whereas in film your eyes are being activated, your ears are being activated, your sense of narrative flow is being activated. Lots of different parts of your brain are being channeled at the same time. Yet, there have been composers, yourself included, who've written really out-there, sophisticated, experimental music for motion pictures. You know this has been going on for over fifty years. Leonard Rosenman was writing twelve-tone music for film in the '50s. Jerry Goldsmith wrote twelve-tone music for film…
ELLIOT GOLDENTHAL: Don't forget Takemitsu!
FRANK J. OTERI: Yeah. His film music is really wonderful…
ELLIOT GOLDENTHAL: Well, Takemitsu also is someone that you can really aspire to want to have a career like. At times his film music and concert music were indistinguishable.
FRANK J. OTERI: I think only now audiences in America are aware of just how much he contributed to films because a lot of those films did not get circulation in this country. We didn't realize. We know these concert works of his. I think actually a lot of his work are getting attention now that he's dead. This is the terrible thing that happens to so many composers; now that he's dead his music is getting out there in ways that it never did…
ELLIOT GOLDENTHAL: It gives us composers something to look forward to.
FRANK J. OTERI: (laughing) For me personally it doesn't sound like a good gamble, but….
ELLIOT GOLDENTHAL: Don't forget Shostakovich. He also wrote over forty film scores. I mean tacky love stories, stupid documentaries. I mean he tackled a lot of dumb projects and he did it with grace and vigor. His music is quite captivating but it's servicing the movies.
FRANK J. OTERI: And he actually had a theremin in one of his scores before Rózsa did. Everyone said that Rózsa was the first one to use a theremin in a film score….
ELLIOT GOLDENTHAL: That makes sense.
FRANK J. OTERI: It was a Soviet invention. Certainly after talking about Shostakovich and people of that earlier generation, the palette for writing for movies then was much different than it is now. It was really this kind of expanded post-Richard Strauss orchestra. Now, there are also electronics and world music influences. I know a lot of that figures in your own work. It's even elements of rock, pop, rap. It's anything goes. It's not just so-called classical orchestral music. It's all part of the vocabulary of writing for film. So in a way it has almost morphed into a separate genre whereas earlier in the century, film music was kind of a subcategory of orchestral music, to some extent.
ELLIOT GOLDENTHAL: To some extent. I think once the Americans started forgetting the European and the Europeans started discovering the Americans, interesting things started to happen. For example, in the 1930s and the early Berlin films you had a lot of German composers experimenting with jazz, bringing them into that— also in the French cinema, as well. I think post-World War II opened the floodgates for so much more experimentation, which also went along with the improvement of recording techniques. When you look at movies post-World War II like The Third Man for example, just using the zither with a cimbalom as the major component of the score. Some of the neorealist filmmakers, Rossellini, De Sica, Fellini, and Pasolini— the work that Morricone did with Pasolini is really startling, some of that early stuff.
FRANK J. OTERI: One of the things that's so interesting about writing for film as opposed to writing for the concert hall is you're dealing with fixed form. You can do things in the studio. You can create effects in the studio with electronics that you might not necessarily be able to pull off the way you want it to sound every time in a live concert hall setting. So in a way it kind of allows you more room. But, at the same time, it also constrains you because it locks the score— cues have to be a certain length of time.
ELLIOT GOLDENTHAL: I don't find it constraining. I don't disagree with you but I think both concert music and film music thrive on constraint and thrive almost on human accuracy that needs to be either reproduced on the spot or recorded. Certainly if you look at the scores of Penderecki, everything is clicked out according to seconds. It doesn't have to be, but that's his method. Even the desire for Beethoven to use the metronome…
FRANK J. OTERI: Well it's interesting. There are certain kinds of aleatory processes. You can certainly experiment with them using a stopwatch, as Penderecki does in his early scores. But you can't really experiment in an aleatoric, free form way temporally with music that you write for film because you always have to be aware of what the music is supposed to be serving, I would think.
ELLIOT GOLDENTHAL: Well, I use a lot of aleatory techniques of writing in film. In the score for Alien 3, for example, I pre-composed the electronics using homemade samples and different sounds ranging from scissors to stretching strings, to clangorous sounds, etc. I basically had the electronic score. I had this orchestra score in mind, but not a typical European orchestra sound. I wanted the orchestra to sound like the musique concrète that was already recorded. In order to do that one had use a lot of aleatoric techniques; boxes with clusters of strings and smears across the page. You have to coax and coerce the musicians not be as logical as they would. So I found that technique very, very effective— with a click, aleatoric. Going from letter A to letter B, not counting measures. Just cueing in what the next event will be.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Wingspan Life Resources, St. Paul, MN, USA
I have been a friend of Wingspan Life Resources since I moved to Minnesota over 20 years ago. In all fairness, part of my involvement stems from the fact that I am married to Wingspan's Executive Director. But that fact is only a part of the story. For many years I have been a board member of another nonprofit, but don't feel compelled to give that organization a 5 Star review. So what is it about Wingspan that compels me to write? Stated as briefly as possible, it is the care and love given to the residents/participants in Wingspans programs that moves me. Unlike some nonprofits, Wingspan exist to serve. Period. The Wingspan professionals, many of whom I have known since we were all much younger, are the most devoted group of caregivers I have ever had the good fortune to know. Persons with developmental disabilities are too often treated callously by the world around them, and in this era of cuts to social services, I fear things will get worse before they get better. Thank God for the dedicated professionals at Wingspan Life Resources. Wingspan is truly a GREAT nonprofit.

T&T can learn from Venezuela's woes
In Ms Panday's Easter Sunday article, she correctly analysed the Venezuelan economic situation to turn on the alarms in T&T so the country doesn't follow that path.
The description was accurate but she avoided analysis of the causes. The main culprit of Venezuela's woes is the socialist system the leftist government Venezuela has had in the last 17 years.
With purpose and determination, Chavez and now Maduro have been relentlessly destroying the private enterprise. Construction industry, cement and steel factories, super markets stores, import firms, medical private care, etc, have been seized to be run by the workers or the state.
The result has been a widespread bankruptcy of all those thousands of enterprises that produced the panorama described in her article. Even the safety net of US$700 billion earned by the oil price did not prevent the present outcome.
In Trinidad, you have a much better perspective since you have a democratic government, independent judicial and legislative powers and a respect of the law that present to the investor a safe country to invest.
The other lesson Venezuela could teach T&T is to be aware of the temptation to have a powerful head of state as a way to increase efficiency.

This tea has been extremely carefully picked out. It's a celebration choice. I've had it once before when Wombatgirl sent me two whole samples of it. I used one then and saved the other for a special occasion. Then, in the enormous box from Pamela Dax Dean there was another sample of it, so now I can have it for the second time and still have one left to save for later. How awesome is that?
The first time I had it was after having reached 50K words on NaNoWriMo, so it was my celebration tea then. It will be my celebration tea again today for having looked at a huge flat with the boyfriend and decided to take it. And it is indeed huge, it's bigger than my parents' house. Used to be a grocery shop so it's got a funny, quirky layout and an almost triangular room. Strangely enough that quirkyness is one of the things about it that really appeals to me. So we accepted it and are awaiting the contract for signing now. YAY!
If that is not call for celebration then I don't know what is! So therefore, very carefully, I picked out something I knew would be fabulous but also in short supply (for me) so that it would feel extra-exotic to drink it.
The aroma of this is just awesome. So very malty sweet and grainy, just exactly that rye bread note that I've come to look for in particular when smelling tea. The same note that these days I seem to find in just about everything. A wee bit of prickly spicyness in it too, which makes me think of fresh pinewood.
Oh gosh, I just got a great big whiff of sweetness on the first sip. Something completely caramel-y sweet. Unfortunately the second sip didn't give me that same note again, so possibly it was a fluke. It did have a cocoa-ish sort of note to it. A clear one, but not very heavy. It works awesomely well with the pine wood-y notes in the flavour. (The colour of this flavour is warm orange. Like the 'meh' face on the Steepster rating bar, only a bit darker)
The first time I had it, I compared it to the beloved Tan Yang Te Ji, only somewhat lighter in flavour. I stand by that comparison today as well. I can see some more differences between the two this time, I think, like for example the pine, but all in all it's got that same sort of 'root'.
I'm a big fan of this one. Go forth and try it out, Steepsterites.

I have turbinate hypertrophy.
Speech and phonation are developed very early in life. It would be unusual for you to experience a change in your voice following sinus or septal surgery. Consider discussing these issues with your surgeon before surgery. . Best,
Gary R Culbertson, MD, FACS
Turbinate Hypertrophy and Nasal Airway Obstruction – This is the most common cause of nasal airway obstruction and if it allergy related it can be corrected with medical therapy. If it is true bony inferior turbinate hypertrophy one needs operative intervention with inferior turbinate and microfracture correction. This has a dramatic effect on improving the nasal airway. It usually does not change your voice long term.

We need to get our schools up to the standards that they need to be, or continue to be a dying mill town
What exactly is a teacher? Webster�s Dictionary 1828 version states: Teacher, one who teaches or instructs. An instructor; a preceptor; a tutor; one whose business or occupation is to instruct others.
Merriam-Webster (the modern dictionary) states: Teacher: a person or thing that teaches; especially a person whose job is to teach students about certain subjects; one that teaches: one whose occupation is to instruct.
Not much of a difference both states that it is their occupation, their business, their source of income, their means to support their family. So why are we so bent out of shape when teachers ask for fair wages and safe working conditions?
Educating children has risen dramatically throughout the past several decades. On average it cost $10,615 across the country (source Census Bureau) to send a child to public school for a year. That cost is higher for a high school student in advanced classes. Gaston County Schools has approximately 32,000 students enrolled with more than 7,500 receiving special services which increase the cost to educate those students. Now, if my math is correct, that would mean we need bare minimum $340 million to educate our students to meet that standard. Our budget last year was $253 million.
Where does the money come from? Our funding comes from three sources: the U.S. Congress, the N.C. General Assembly and the Gaston County Commissioners. According to last year�s budget request, the school system received approximately $155 million from the state, $1.7 million from the federal, and $6.3 million from grants/fundraisers/vending/etc. That leaves $141 million for the local to pay, to meet the average standard. The county gave $41 million last year.
There is a huge misconception about the lottery money. Instead of giving the money to the schools, the county used that money to pay for the �school bonds� that the voters voted on in 2007. That was not the purpose of that money. When the voters vote on bonds, it is up to the commissioners to find a way in the budget to pay for those bonds, not rob Peter to pay Paul. Technically, they are using it for education, but only through a tiny loophole.
The average starting salary for teachers is roughly $31,000, and most start their careers with a student loan burden of over $25,000. Let me clear up the misconceptions of teachers pay and how many months they work. While yes, they only work about 10 months, they only get paid for 10 months. Some teachers can elect to stretch their pay over the 12 months, but they still get paid the same. So let�s say for argument sake a teacher works 200 days 7:30-4; that is 1,700 hours. Now divide that by the average salary and you are not much more above the wage that fast food workers want. Now, while fast food workers deserve fair pay, folks that have at least a four-year degree and are entrusted with the education of our children deserve to be paid more than someone that gives me my Happy Meal.
If you look back four years, with the exception of last year, the county has given the school system the same amount of money to operate, while the state and federal governments have cut their funding to them drastically. Also if you look at the county�s budget for the past several years, they have stayed with a flat budget. That means that they have not made any cuts or increases.
I don�t know about you, but my expenses have increased, so I have had to make adjustments in my budget. The attitude of some of the County Commissioners should concern every citizen of Gaston County. They are spending our money, folks. Get involved; don�t just sit back and complain that your taxes are too high. Let your county commissioner, your state representative and your senators know that you expect them to spend our money wisely and to invest in our children. Just because the majority of them don�t have children in the school system does not excuse them from their responsibility.
We need to get our priorities in order. It is a proven fact that the first thing that people look at before they move to an area is the schools. If we don�t get our schools up to the standards that they need to be, then we are going to continue to be a dying mill town.

text: Background: I went to an auction this past weekend, where they were selling off a photographic school's equipment. The program closed 18 months ago and all of the equipment has been in storage since then. The school didn't keep anything that didn't work and speaking with the program's instructor at the auction, everything worked properly when it was put in storage (he was pretty honest about the condition of everything I asked about). - I have inspected it all to the best of my abilities and been as accurate as possible but I have not personally used this equipment (there is too much). Anything that doesn't sell will eventually end up on eBay. Terms: Prices are in US or Canadian dollars and do not include shipping from Canada, postal code S4S 4S4 - all shipping must include insurance and tracking and I do not undervalue items on customs documents. PayPal preferred with me paying the fees to the registered PayPal address but I will accept cheques (once they clear the bank in 14 days), postal money orders, bank transfers in Canada and cash if you really want to send it in the mail. Items are generally shipped within 24 hours of receipt of payments. Returns accepted within 7 days if I inaccurately described the item but buyer pays shipping both ways. Prices: I priced everything out on KEH, recent completed eBay sales and B&H, generally trying to price everything 20-30% less than those prices. I am open to offers but I did borrow some money off of the ex-wife (always a mistake) to buy more than I could on my own and she will only wait so long. Sorry, no trades. Please let me know what you are communicating about so I don't mix up sales and realize I have a job so while I try to respond as quickly as possible, I won't have the items with me during the day. Pictures are all labeled so please make sure you are looking at the right item you are communicating about. Lenses Any dust on the photos is surface dust, there is no Schneideritis, fungus or scratches, all have retaining rings and are multi-coated. All shutters sound correct to my ear with the exception of the one mentioned below. I will throw in a Horseman lens board for an extra $5 if someone doesn't buy them first. (1) Schneider 90mm f/8 Super Angulon no caps and there is something funky going on within the front element (circled in red in the photo) which might be lens separation but I don't know (again, the instructor indicated no problems) - $180 (2) Schneider 90mm f/8 Super Angulon with caps - $210 (3) Schneider 150mm f/5.6 APO-Symmar with caps - $200 (4) Schneider 150mm f/5.6 APO-Symmar no caps - $190 (5) Schneider 120mm f/5.6 APO-Symmar with caps - $275 (6) Schneider 120mm f/5.6 Symmar-S no caps - $175 (7) Schneider 120mm f/5.6 Symmar-S no caps - $125 - this shutter is acting up with 1 sec acting like 1/2 sec and 1/2 sec acting like 1/4 sec but all other speeds sound good. The more the lens is used, the more accurate the shutter sounds which leads me to suspect it has been sitting too long and needs action but I have priced accordingly. (8) Schneider 120mm f/5.6 Symmar-S no caps - $175 Lens boards There are 8 Horseman boards, all Copal 0. All 8 for $80, or 1 for $12. Jobo There is a 2830 tank, 2553 tank and 3 smaller tank which are stamped "02 017" inside on the bottom as well as a 4x5 reel, 4x 35mm/120 reels, lids (some with funnels, some without) and an assortment of pieces, parts and interior columns. $200 Hard Tank and Hangers A hard plastic developing tank with hangers (6 4x5 hangers and 14 5x7 hangers); I think it to be light tight as the lid is ridged but don't know for certain - $75 4x5 film holders Photos are representative of each type Unknown but a little rough (tape on outside or peeling paint) - 9 holders - $7 each Riteway - 19 holders - $8 each Fidelity Deluxe - 10 holders - $8 each Fidelity Elite - 15 holders - $8 each Lisco Regal - 10 holders - $9 each Lisco Regal II - 4 holders - $10 each Agfa Ansco Wood - 6 holders all for $30 but they probably need the flap/tape replaced (at least one does) Instant Fuji PA-45 and 2x Polaroid 545 holders - $75

We want Zielinski!
In what can only be described as a once-in-a-lifetime occurrence, Democratic Party spokesman and straitjacket model Graeme Zielinski was a runaway winner this past holiday weekend. Zielinski was picked in the Wiggy poll as the one you readers most wanted to see speak at this week's Democratic National Convention. (Or, as Rush Limbaugh has been describing it today, "The Star Wars Bar Scene.")
Who should Democrats invite from Wisconsin to speak at the National Convention?
- Graeme Zielinski (67%, 18 Votes)
- Ed Garvey (15%, 4 Votes)
- Fuzzy Man (11%, 3 Votes)
- Former State Representative Jeff Wood (7%, 2 Votes)
- Secretary of State Doug LaFollette (0%, 0 Votes)
Total Voters: 27
Despite the overhelming support for Zielinski (given that the poll was conducted over a holiday weekend), the Democrats are not going to let him speak. Darn it. No apocalyptic visions, no talking to the voices in his head, no accusing Governor Scott Walker of drowning puppies for entertainment.
So we're left with the other gift that keeps on giving, Congressman Gwen Moore. God bless the Democrats, they're actually giving Moore a speaking role between 6:00 PM and 7:00 PM. Please, please let her sing.

Semtech pitches two-chip power solution for Intel CPUs in portables
Post a comment
PALM SPRINGS, Calif.--At the Intel Developer Forum here today, Semtech Corp. will announce a new two-chip set solution for power control in mobile systems based on microprocessors from Intel Corp. The solution couples Semtech's new SC1406 hysteretic mode controller with the company's SC1405 dual-MOSFET driver.
Semtech said the SC1406 integrates several functions into one chip, including two linear regulator controllers with soft start, a 5-bit VID DAC used as a programmable precision voltage reference, an ultra-fast core voltage comparator with soft start, power good generator, and under-voltage lockout circuit. The company said the space-saving SC1405/1406 combination provides the central processor with a voltage range of 0.9 to 1.675 V, with 25-millivolt resolution.
The SC1405 costs $1.30 each in quantities of 10,000. Samples of the new SC1406 controller are available now, with volume shipments slated to begin in November. It will be priced at $2.50 each in 10,000-piece quantities.

SUN CITY - Retirement for Eddie Lake could have meant spending his time fishing, golfing or playing cards.
Instead, he performs tricks.
Lake, 70, of Sun City - stage name "Tennessee Eddie," after his home state - has been a magician for nearly nine years. He is a member of the elite Academy of Magic Arts housed in Hollywood's Magic Castle, a private club accessed by invitation only.
But Lake said he doesn't let all that go to his head. Most of his performances are benefit programs, shows at local public libraries, and short, unpaid stints for dinner crowds at the upscale Magic Castle.
"I'm no different than the folks in the audience," said Lake, smiling and slowly clinking together two metal rings he was holding. "I'm just on the stage or in the center of the crowd because I have the equipment."
Whether he is performing on stage or for a small crowd, Lake's act has no dirty jokes or foul language, and he does not attempt to embarrass volunteers from the audience who help him, he said.
He has a variety of tricks, such as the familiar "pick-a-card" routine, a floating table and numerous optical illusions. But Lake performs them with a twist. He infuses humor into his magic act by telling a cute joke or making it seem as if he botched the trick just before it all comes together.
"People don't like to be fooled. But they do want to be entertained," the magician said with a grin. "What I enjoy most is being creative to come up with the act and then seeing if they work. If I can make someone smile or laugh, then I know it worked. And that's the thrill of magic for me."
Tennessee Eddie tests his acts out on his No. 1 fan, Linda, his wife of 47 years.
"It's a lot of fun being married to a magician. Well, there's never a dull moment," Linda said. "He asks for my advice and I give it."
Unlike most magicians and illusionists, Tennessee Eddie was not a fan of magic as a child. He said he didn't think about becoming a magician until 1997. He was 60 years old and had accepted an early retirement package from Southern California Edison, where he had worked for 38 years. As part of the deal, the company offered to pay a maximum of $5,000 for him to get re-trained in another field.
A skill diagnostic test indicated he would be a good dentist, Lake explained.
"When the guy told me the thing about being a dentist, I said to him, out of the blue, 'How 'bout a magician?" and he told me to find an approved school where you would get a diploma and we would see about it," Lake said.
He found the Chavez School in La Verne and the company agreed to pay for his education there, Lake said.
"When I retired, I knew I didn't want to work and I wanted to have fun. I haven't been disappointed with my choice," the magician said.

In its traditional form, this classic Lao soup is made with noodles rolled out and cut to order for each bowl. It is still excellent made with dried rice noodles. You can substitute fish, chicken, or pork for the beef, but rice noodles are an essential ingredient. The Lao like a considerable amount of lime juice in their food—here a range is given so that you can flavor the soup to your taste.

All quotes tagged Oak
(64 quotes found)
"I thought the kids really played hard, especially on defense. But Red Oak hit some shots to stay out in front."
"[And there's no faux wood—anywhere. Instead, Sarillo builds his restaurants with oak floors and hand-hewn pine, spruce and Douglas fir beams from 100-year-old Midwestern barns.] All the way down to the nails, it's a real barn, ... you feel like it's real stuff."
"We could put parking in the front yard and cut down some of the beautiful oak trees out there. I'd really hate to see it become a wall of parking. But I guess we could consider that."
"We are definitely disappointed, especially after the way the team played in the second half last week against Oak Grove,"
"We've had players from Sumrall, Oak Grove, North Forrest and Petal. We've had them from all around here. I think they enjoy coming up here and the fans enjoy it, too."
"The great thing about oak is that it looks old. It is beautifully solid and well made. There is something about the style you can't help being attracted to."

a petzl e-light is for me too
a petzl e-light is for me too
I have one that I been using for years, and to be honest it didn't cost me much, if I remember right it was £5. Is not even branded. However, I got a little torch that I like to have in my pocket or wherever and I made a little thing out of a bike's inner tube. Well, I put some pictures so you can see what I'm about, LOL.
It actually works pretty well.
I meant to say, I put it on like a head band, and when not in use, the band is rolled and packed away inside the same pouch where the torch go.

I run a Princeton Tec Byte. Was on sale for 3/10 of bugger all when i bought it at a stores closing sale. She runs 2 AAA batteries, 35 lumen max output, which isnt the brightest in the world i know, but its good enough for basically anything i do. Has 3 light modes, one of which is a red light. The thing i really like about it is it weighs 64 grams, so about 2.1 ounces... Basically it weighs bugger all, its bright enough to walk with, it has a long burn time, and spare batteries are light and small to carry.
now using a Petzl Tactikka Plus. Good battery life from 3 AAA batteries, 3 light levels and red filter.
Hi there!
I have two of the Spark ST6-500CW headlamps and I can really recommend it! It is a very bright, waterproof and easy to use LED-Headlamp.
I always carry it by going geocaching (Nightcaches) and it has never disappointed me.
Here is a short video-review of the two versions of this lamp.
The only thing that might be a disadvantage, is that you have to use one 18650 or two CR123 Batteries instaed of normal AA Batteries.
But that is because of the really high output of the LED.
I use a glow worm wedged in a polo mint and tied around my head. Its bloody useless to see by and I keep getting pestered by other glow worms.. Not recommended

Appointment of Liya Kebede, WHO Goodwill Ambassador for maternal, newborn and child health
I'd like to thank you for coming today.
I am extremely pleased to introduce to you Liya Kebede, and to appoint her WHO's new goodwill ambassador for maternal, newborn and child health. This is a new face of WHO. We are also seeing her face on many magazine covers around the world, including Time, Vogue and Harper's Bazaar.
But that's not the most striking thing about Liya. What I appreciate especially is her sincerity and wisdom - which are remarkable for someone so young.
She is a perfect ambassador for this issue - not only is she a young woman and a working mother, she is an Ethiopian who has risen to the top of her industry. She has experienced the huge gap that exists between both worlds and she passionately wants to use her global success and visibility to help bridge this gap.
It is a fact is that 529 000 women die in childbirth each year and that 10.6 million children do not reach their fifth birthdays. It is also a fact that these deaths are occurring almost exclusively in the developing world because women there lack the resources, the education and, perhaps most importantly, the freedom to claim their right to a healthy birth.
Liya's contribution will help ensure that these women and children's faces gain global visibility, and will inspire people to take action - on World Health Day, and well beyond.

Routt County officials confront the complexity of finding a good match for salary survey
April 10, 2014
Steamboat Springs — In late February, the Routt County Board of Commissioners asked its committee assigned to define the parameters for a new salary survey for rank-and-file county workers to come up with a detailed report.
So that's just what the commissioners got March 8.
The commissioners found out in the process of studying a detailed survey of demographic data for all 64 Colorado counties this week that it's not easy to find a mountain resort county that compares closely to Routt, even when they looked at counties that were home to ski resorts.
Eagle has more populous bedroom communities, Pitkin's housing prices are skewed more heavily by mountain mansions and Summit has more ski areas.
"We're a ski county that's a different flavor," county Finance Director Dan Strnad said succinctly.
And the basis for adjusting pay scales could vary from an emphasis on the relative cost of living in Routt, to the size of the county and the number and variety of services provided by county employees.
Recommended Stories For You
The commissioners seemed to agree on the latter Tuesday when they decided to focus on nine Colorado counties of similar population as a guide for the new salary survey. It's intended to support recruitment and retention of employees by checking to see that current salaries aren't out of line with the competition.
The other counties include Summit, Eagle, Broomfield, Garfield, Park, Pitkin, Elbert Mineral and Lake.
The median home value in Routt County is $407,700, in Pitkin County it's $630,000 and in Lake County — home to many workers in neighboring Eagle — the median home price is $163,800, meaning half of the available homes are priced lower.
Among the county employees participating on the preliminary survey committee are Yampa Valley Regional Airport Manager Dave Ruppel, receptionist Rachel Lundy, Human Resources Director Chris Hensen, Finance Director Strnad, Human Services Director Vickie Clark, Road and Bridge Assistant Director Mike Mordi and Sheriff's Lt. Doug Scherar.
Ruppel was assigned by County Manager Tom Sullivan to lead the committee. And in February, Ruppel suggested to the commissioners that they consider retaining a consultant. He mentioned that La Plata County (county seat Durango) had used a consultant for its 2013 survey, which included Routt in its list of comparable counties.
However, Board of Commissioners President Tim Corrigan responded at the time, "You're looking at your consultant."
Ruppel suggested a consultant again this week, and Sullivan also was leaning toward using a consultant. He pointed that Hensen is intimately familiar with job descriptions in the county but added that she has way too much "on her plate" to actually conduct the survey.
Since February, Strnad has supported the committee with some demographic research. He concluded that the cost of child care is one of the most significant factors in determining whether local families can stretch one or two salaries to do more than just make ends meet.
"When you have a kid in this county, you're (living) in one of the most expensive counties in the state," Strnad told the commissioners.
He was basing his comments on the 2011 Self Sufficiency Standard for Colorado families of varying makeups published by the Colorado Department of Local Affairs.
Already three years out of date, it reported that a household comprising two adults and one pre-schooler in Eagle County can be self-sufficient with an annual income of $63,383. The same family living in Lake County could get by on $51,039, and the number in Routt County is $60,965.
When a family grows to include two children, one pre-schooler and one infant, the threshold for sustainable incomes rises significantly to $80,711 in Eagle, $61,221 in Lake and $78,818 in Routt.
The county commissioners and members of the committee are expected to meet again, at a date to be determined, to refine their plans for the salary survey.

Subject: [FreeHelp] address not reliably privatized
Date: Thu, 28 Aug 2008 05:47:07 -0700
Hope okay to post this here.
I just discovered after searching http://archiver.rootsweb.com that
my email address for some posts to this list are out there in plain
view, and now accessible to search engines in the archiver altho
privatized once the post is clicked on.
To test this, I entered my email address to the left of the address in
google "the.cohens.in.california". And there were lots of email
addresses out there in plain view, not just mine.
I sent a message to rootsweb but am worried they may not fix it. I
have just now for a couple day started getting spam email and think it
is likely to be due to this.
We should be able to count on rootsweb to hide our addresses. Could
this be due to complications on the new servers? Shouldn't they not be
feeding our addresses to search engine, or do they only prevent humans
but not bots from getting the addresses?

After 51 years in the television business and six unsuccessful nominations, veteran actor Bob Newhart finally took home a Creative Arts Emmy Award for his guest-starring turn on "Big Bang Theory."
Now 84, Newhart received a standing ovation from the audience as he stepped on stage to accept his award for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series in Los Angeles Sunday, saying later that the honor "really threw" him.
"I was totally unprepared for that. This is from your peers," the veteran actor told reporters backstage.
According to Deadline, Newhart had two of his classic shows, "Newhart" and "The Bob Newhart Show" taken out of Emmy contention so as to avoid the disappointment.
"I had come to feel that the kind of stuff I do just doesn't win awards," Newhart said of his many years of nominations. "I just figured that every year, there were better people than me in the category."
Newhart won the Emmy for his portrayal of Professor Proton -- a children's science show host -- on the popular Chuck Lorre sitcom. He'll be back for another episode this season, telling Entertainment Weekly that the "rock concert" studio audience drew him back to the show.
"Chuck Lorre had been after me," he added backstage.
We had over the years talked about doing something -- it finally was this year, and he said, 'What will it take?' I said, 'It has to be in front of a live audience,' because that's all I've ever done. I don't know how to do a show not in front of a live audience. So he said, how about "The Big Bang Theory,' and I said, 'Great,' because I think it's the best-written show on television. And I said I wanted it to be a recurring role -- I didn't want it to be one and out.
Newhart had previously been nominated for "Newhart," a guest role on "ER" and a part in the TV movie "The Librarian: The Curse of the Judas Chalice."


text: IN HIS his co-authored book, The Innovator's DNA, management guru Harvard Professor Clay Christensen of the Business School explains that innovators are both born and made, and that their success can be attributed to what he calls discovery skills.These discovery skills of questioning, observing, networking and experimenting are synthesised through associational thinking and encourage us to take risks and challenge the status quo, ultimately generating innovative business ideas.Drilling down into the discovery skill of observing, Christensen recommends reading a publication you wouldn't normally look at, going to a social event outside your regular sphere or attending conferences on unrelated industries - among some of the triggers for associational thinking.Taking this advice in hand, I decided to stray from the warm embrace of mining and minerals and attend the Economist Group's conference on feeding the world held recently in Johannesburg.As hypothesised by Christenson - that the solution to one industry's challenges may well lie in exploring another's - I was on the lookout for replicable solutions pertinent to the mining sector. I persisted without much luck until the final presentation of the conference where, as if scripted in a romance comedy, I discovered what I was looking for: Gerry van den Houten, technical director of SABMiller [JSE:SAB], introduced what he called "Africa's best-kept secret", which - appropriately - had much ado about beer.If I were to poll readers of this article as to whether they had heard of cassava, probably 10% would respond in the affirmative.If I were to ask readers if they could identify it in a veggie line up, nodding heads would probably drop to 1%, so it's heartening to discover how this unassuming vegetable is sprouting a business model with revolutionary potential.Exploring how a partnership between an African government, a multinational corporation, a European startup and local smallhold farmers is working towards crafting a carbonated solution to boost the balance sheets of all stakeholders is relevant to South Africa's macroeconomic problem solvers.In policy wonk parlance, this partnership is called a public-private-people-partnership (PPPP) which is the über-syllabic version of the triple bottom line. Drilling down into this, venture we know most of the cast:• SABMiller; the world's number two brewer. • Smallhold farmers; the purported hopeful saviours of the continent.• Mozambique; a resource rich, otherwise poor south-east African former Portuguese colony, with a gross domestic product (GDP) of $24bn and 24 million inhabitants. Mozambique has displayed stellar growth - well over 7% annually - over the past decade, but is heavily reliant on aluminum which accounts for a third of all exports.• DADTCO; the Dutch Agricultural Development and Trading Company , a startup you've probably have never heard of, which commercialised the disruptive innovation which is the star of this story.So what are these stakeholders doing right, and more importantly, how can we learn from them?Alcohol is an interesting product. Historically, South African workers on wine farms were paid in cheap wine and not fiat currency.This tot (or dop as it was known in Afrikaans) system was finally arrested in the 1990s, but economists have managed to revive its spirits by calculating how many hours an individual would need to work in order to afford a litre of beer. In Mozambique, that figure is nine hours (SA is a tippling 54 minutes).Vice has an uncanny propensity for spurring innovation, and Africa's poor have created an informal liquor industry of home breweries and the like which supply half the quaffing continent.This phenomenon not only renders its drinkers hung over, but governments also lose billions in taxes and these unregulated illicit beverages are responsible for a plethora of deaths, dependency, misery and illness.Interestingly, there is a positive correlation between GDP per capita and beer consumption per capita. What this means is the more you earn, the more you burn (on beer) - this bodes well for brewers as Africa's middle class emerges.To explain the reality, we may construct an imaginary Venn diagram. We have one circle of high demand for cheap beer, another circle of no taxes due to illicit brewers and a third circle of commercial brewers trying to capture market share.When we overlay these three circles, what emerges in the centre is a market segment which needs cheap-licit-beer; it also happens to be the largest beer-drinking segment in Africa.Introducing Impala beer: it attracts a lower tax of 10% versus 40% for lager, is 30% cheaper than its mainstream rivals and as safe to drink as any other commercial beer.But that is only the starting point of what makes Impala beer's story remarkable.Cassava provides a third of caloric intake in some African countries. It is the third largest source of carbohydrates in the world and is grown by most farming families in countries where it is consumed. It can be harvested all year round but it has the tricky property of beginning to rot within a day of harvest, making commercialisation near-impossible.Dutch cure for Dutch diseaseAfrica receives an earful of complaints about its resource curse known as Dutch disease, so it is heartening that the Netherlands has delivered a Dutch cure also.DADTCO invented a compact processing unit that fits into a regular container, which is trucked around the region to designated platforms where smallhold farmers deliver their crops. In this unit cassava is processed into a pulp, or cake as it is known, which is stable for months and perfectly suitable for commercial processing.With this disruptive technology now available, all that was needed was a use for cassava cake. It turned out that SABMiller was willing to experiment and crafted a beer containing 70% cassava, which in blind taste tests defeated premium beers triple its price.It so happens that locals can't get enough of this patriotic booze. Sales targets have been smashed and growth outlook is inebriatingly optimistic. The beer is profitable, thanks to lower taxes which in its first year landed $2m in state coffers.The fundamental game changer, however, is not that a multinational has found a way for the profitable introduction of a low-cost product into a strong market segment; it is where all this cassava comes from. Impala Beer is sourcing its cassava from over a thousand smallhold farmers, indirectly employing over 30 000 people. It is merging commercial and smallhold farming via a hub and spoke farming method, which allows the stems to be produced commercially and then disseminated to smallhold farmers, thereby optimising yields.But this is only the pilot project. SABMiller plans to roll it out in Zambia, Ghana, Nigeria, Sudan and Zimbabwe, sourcing cassava from over 50 000 smallhold farmers.The stakeholders in this cassava case study have clearly got something right. The question remains: how can SA imitate and deploy similar initiatives?The answer is not prescriptive; we can hypothesise and brainstorm and opportunities will surely emerge. The fundamental framework, however, is prescriptive - success will occur only when industry and government embrace their unique roles and abilities, supporting profitable innovation by each doing what it does best. In the beer example it is clear: government legislated a special tax dispensation for local products and coordinated local farmers; SABMiller, in turn, was able do what it does best: make beer profitably. While celebrating this December wherever you may be, allow your discovery skills to roam, observe your new surroundings and unleash your associational thinking – for you never know what innovation might crop up in the coming year. - Fin24*Fin24 user Jarred Myers doubles as a columnist.

text: Hey guys. So my one big issue with this phone is the screen wobble. The two halves of the phone sort of "click" when pressed in certain spots. There is also an oreo effect. This made the phone seem loose and cheap. I had to try to do something about it because it bothered me a lot. So this is what I did: What I did was I took bodyguardz protective film, cut it into strips, and stuck it on my phone. I pushed the two halves of the phone together and put the film over the place where the two halves meet. So far it's worked really well. The phone feels a lot more solid, and you can barely tell that the film is there. The downside is that you cannot use the slide out keyboard. However, the software keyboard is good enough for me. Also, I did not use the solution to apply the bodyguardz. I'm sure if I did, the film would stick on ever better, and would probably not peel at the ends. What do you guys think? Can you think of any way this can harm the phone?

Brinn Black Shares the Family Drama Behind Powerful 'Daddy's Medicine' [Exclusive Premiere]
Brinn Black's new single "Daddy's Medicine" is a powerful ballad that tells the all-too-real tale of living with a father who struggles with alcohol. In a video interview premiering exclusively with Taste of Country, Black explains the story behind the song.
"Since I was a kid, my dad has really struggled with alcohol addiction and it's torn my family apart," she says. "A couple years ago, he decided he was going to come to a rehab facility here in Nashville, which ended up bringing us a lot closer together. Through that recovery process over the next month I was broken open and the idea of 'Daddy's Medicine' came out one day, and it's been a big part of my healing process and his healing process and our whole family's."
Black admits that she didn't want to write the song and was trying her best to deal with the situation herself. When her father found himself back at another rehab center six months after he got out, she and her sisters were talking to the counselor, who asked them to write a letter to him. Unable to write a letter, she said she had a song instead and sang the words to the counselor.
"She played it for him and read him the lyrics and he called me and was so proud. He said, 'Brinn, I can't promise you I'll never stop drinking but I can promise you I'll never stop trying not to.' He said he felt 'Daddy's Medicine' made him feel like his story is bigger and our family's story is bigger than the ins and outs and all the heartache we've all been through and the shame and the guilt he felt," Black explains.
Black says her father urged her to put the song out, hoping that other families will hear it and be able to talk about the issue at hand when their family couldn't. Since releasing the song and playing it live frequently in writers rounds, Black says she knows "Daddy's Medicine" is making a difference.
"The coolest part of this song is seeing how people respond to it," she says as she recalls a grown man crying while she performed it. "[He put] down his beer bottle and then [took] me aside afterwards, saying, 'I spend a lot of time away from my little girl in the bars and your song made me think twice about that, so I'm going to go hug her a little bit more and tell her I love her.'"

We care for our flowers and we want our customers to enjoy them in full bloom for a while. That's why with all the flowers that we send out, we include a sachet of specially formulated food and preservatives to extend longevity (free of charge, of course!). It helps the flowers in providing nourishment, preventing the growth of bacteria and fungi, and in also lowering the ph value of the water. In addition, there are several home grown remedies such as copper pennies in water, vodka, soda, aspirin, lemon juice, citric acid etc., which seem to do a competent job in keeping the flowers in bloom. But, there seems to be another addition to the growing list of flower care remedies…
Yes, the little blue miracle pill long known to rejuvenate male impotence, can also double the life span of fresh flowers. A recent article in Financial Times indicates that a small amount of Viagra dissolved in water acts as an excellent preservative for cut flowers. It is found to keep the flowers fresh and erect and prolong shelf life for much longer than normally anticipated. It must be true! It's in the media!! Would you put Viagra for a more unconventional use such as using it as a preservative to extend shelf life for fresh flowers?
We even looked up the Internet and voila! We found a nice little article from British Medical Journal where these claims are substantiated academically. Professors Yaacov Leshem from Bar-Illan University in Ramat Gan, Israel and Ron Willsfrom University of Newcastle, Australia, have patented this discovery as safe and cheap way of increasing the vase life of fresh cut flowers.
Through its effects on Nitric Oxide, Viagra seems to stem flowers from wilting. Even before the industry develops a method for pre-treating fresh cut flowers to increase their shelf life, or until we start including additional Viagra based flower food, we suggest saving a few pills to prevent flowers from wilting.
In case you fail to convince your GP for an extra prescription of pills to perk up your flowers, don't worry. We have put together a smart guide to help you care for your flowers.

There are so many things that one could say in response to the above but I'd better not in case I get myself in trouble!
Reminds me of an old joke about two lovers and a vase. I'll not tell it here though…

Buck 65's basement-pitched voice chews through a Holden Caulfield-by-way-of-Nylon repertoire: stylishly brooding, boldly overwrought, aggro-sexual and ultimately self-serving.
That aside, the best and most characteristic quality of Canadian (and now Paris-dwelling) Richard Terfry/Buck 65's music is the influence of several distinct—and distinctly American—storytelling traditions, including folksy social commentary, seen-it-all blues and the extended bildungsroman common in hip-hop. This genre-bending parallels Terfry's own story: By all accounts, he was an inquisitive kid, raised in rural Nova Scotia (which amounts to growing up in an extremely beautiful jail cell) with little to guide him but stolen moments of radio.
Though Mount Uniacke is a cultural suckhole, Terfry acknowledges the lingering power of his hometown, saying, "[H]ands down, the biggest influence on my work has been the tiny, rural town where I grew up. Probably more than half of my songs are about that in one way or another. And most of the other half comes from experiences on the road."
The surprisingly strong kingdom of eastern Canadian indie rock (see: Sloan, Eric's Trip, the Inbreds, Jale and Thrush Hermit) partly shaped Terfry's sensibilities. "Back in the early '90s, a bunch of bands from [Halifax, the small but cool coastal city where Terfry came of age] were getting signed up by Sub Pop. And then Sloan got signed by DGC. When that happened, they took part of their advance money and set up their own label, Murderecords. I was one of the first people they released on the label. And in those early days, all my shows were opening for those bands. I'm grateful for that experience because it really helped get my head out of my ass and expand my musical horizons."
Speaking of which, he doesn't put much stock in bright lines between genres. "I think if you go back a little further than the New York City history of hip-hop, you'll find a common ground. The tradition of 'rapping' is an old one, and musically, you can find examples of it in talking blues records going back 100 years. I know most people don't 'get it' or haven't been able to make that connection, but I figure I'm just keeping a much older hip-hop tradition alive, if you will."
Buck 65's relationship with hip-hop has been contentious: In 2004, after he'd released several albums of rootsy, experimental rap, Terfry claimed he had come to hate hip-hop. This, alongside the marked change in his style toward a hobo poetic that had more in common with Johnny Cash than Jay-Z, left some fans and critics nonplussed—even pissed-off. Combining this with sometimes rudimentary, uninspired lyrics (think open-mic slam session) and often grating smugness cost Buck 65 some esteem. Paul "Skratch Bastid" Murphy, who is producing the upcoming Buck 65 album, Situation(out Sept. 18), says, "I think that everyone goes on their own musical trip, and it takes everyone to a different place. Rich has one of the most diverse musical tastes I've ever heard of. He's always listening to some crazy, obscure shit when I go over to his house. I think it's good that he showed people some of the different ideas that he's collected by being an inspired music fan for so long. He picked up a lot of new listeners by stretching out to so many different styles. I know that he may have lost a few of his hip-hop fans on the way, but that's why I made Situation the way that I did: to show some of the older fans that Buck still has it in him."
If you like this story, consider signing up for our email newsletters.
You have successfully signed up for your selected newsletter(s) - please keep an eye on your mailbox, we're movin' in!
Terfry cops to the change: "I guess you could say that my love affair with hip-hop has been rekindled."
Murphy adds, "I'd like to think that listeners can walk away from Situation feeling the vibe I get from those old cassettes, combined with the sounds and emotions offered by the dense range of styles that Rich has developed over his more recent albums."
Certainly, Buck 65's trademark complexity has never waned. Terfry seems to actively court ideas and experiences for his catalog of material. He counts Situationism (which basically trumpets construction over the inherent) as an influence on the album, and of late, he's scored two films (truck doc Big Rig and French movie L'Histoire de Richard O.) and maintains a polymath's diversity of interests, including CNN's Hala Gorani, Crispin Glover flicks, David Lynch's Inland Empire and Mr. Softee trucks in New York. However pretentious his schema reads, one thing Buck 65 definitely is not is a phony.
