The centerpiece is the brilliant balafon (xylophone) player from Guinea, Famoro Dioubate. Kora (harp-lute) player Yacouba Cissoko extends the traditional vibe - but there are also guitars, drum kit, woodwind instruments - even cello. Kakande just released its debut CD Dununya (Jumbie Records). They warm up tonight for the CD release party at SOBs on Sunday February 24, where they'll be joined by Guinean music icon Mory Kante.

Josh Mease followed by Black Cat Blones (Rory Tregaskis)
Monday, February 11th, 2008, 3pm - 6pm
on Irene Trudel's show
Brooklynite Josh Mease spends most of his time in a daydream nation with songs that recall no one era or genre. They simply sound like every happy memory, fond recollection, and momentary "what if?" you've ever had. Mease's recent self-titled album is a journey through the patchwork dream world he permanently inhabits, and Josh tops it all off with a voice that hints at what might have happened if Chet Baker got it on with all four Beatles.
Then a performance by Black Cat Bones, who is alleged to have either exchanged his ability to read and write for his mojo hand & can of Red Stripe or turned himself into brilliant storyteller and an expressive, elegant guitarist full of blues, folk and punk. There's a touch of Syd Barrett and Billy Bragg in Rory's songs as Black Cat Bones, and he plays live on the show.
Akoya Afrobeat Ensemble
Saturday, February 9th, 2008, 6pm - 9pm

Throughout the career of this rapper who was instrumental in kick-starting the Bay Area's hyphy movement, Billy Jam has closely documented Mac Dre. This web-only broadcast will focus on the music and details of his career.

Zona Sur
From Plaza del Estudiante at the southern end of the Prado, Avenida Villazon heads southeast through Sopochachi, turning into Avenida Arce and then winding down into the Zona Sur, a fifteen-minute taxi ride away, where the suburbs of Calacoto, San Miguel and Cota Cota are home to a growing number of La Paz's wealthier residents, including politicians, senior military officers and most of the foreign business and diplomatic community. Almost 500m lower in altitude, the Zona Sur has a noticeably warmer climate, with luxury boutiques and villas ringed by harsh badlands. If you're passing through on the way to the Muela del Diablo or the Valle de la Luna, it's worth stopping for a drink in one of the many cafés just to get an impression of how the city's elite live.

Southwest Wake News
Western Wake towns eye high-speed Internet agreements
Town leaders approved an agreement with AT&T on Thursday to bring high-speed Internet service to Cary, while Apex and Morrisville hope to soon follow suit.
Cary is part of an alliance known as the N.C. Next Generation Network – which also includes Carrboro, Chapel Hill, Durham, Raleigh and Winston-Salem and four major universities – that agreed on the terms of the contract earlier this month.
AT&T wants to bring its GigaPower service, which has Internet speeds that are up to 20 times faster than most broadband connections, to small businesses, multifamily residential developments and public "hotspots."
"To have this available to support small businesses and multifamily housing would be significant in improving the quality of life in Cary," Mayor Harold Weinbrecht said in an interview Thursday.
On Monday, AT&T announced that it has added Apex and Morrisville to its list of Triangle cities and towns targeted for its high-speed Internet service. Originally, the company announced plans for five local municipalities – Carrboro, Chapel Hill, Raleigh, Cary and Durham.
Apex leaders welcomed the news, especially since the town was left out of Google's plans to bring ultrafast Internet to the Triangle.
"I'm delighted we're included," said Apex Town Councilman Bill Jensen. "I think it's highly important for economic development for the town. It's the future. ... It's just another tool in our little basket to get other non-residential business here."
Google announced plans in February to bring Google Fiber service to Cary and Morrisville and some other Triangle municipalities.
The search-engine giant recently asked permission to build "fiber huts" in both towns. Each 1,400-square-foot structure would be capable of providing high-speed Internet to about 20,000 households.
Cary and Morrisville leaders hoped to approve Google's request at Town Council meetings this week, but the deals were pushed back to May. Google's legal team needed more time to review the agreements, according to officials in both towns.
Cary hopes to welcome both Internet providers so the competition will drive down prices, Weinbrecht said.
"The potential of economic development by having high-speed Internet is huge," he said. "We're doing everything we can to pursue it."
Tim Gauss, Morrisville's director of development services, said interest from Google and AT&T is "really a feather in our cap."
"(High-speed Internet) by either is a positive for the town," Gauss said. "We do have a highly educated population that will use it."

The scholarly endeavors of the Biological Sciences faculty, staff and students as manifest by our courses and research activities define us as a broad-based department, spanning molecules and cells to tissues and organisms to populations and ecosystems. Courses and research opportunities are available in Biochemistry, Structural Biology and Biophysics, Cell Biology, Genetics, Molecular Biology, Computational Biology, Evolutionary Biology, Ecology, Developmental Biology, and Neurobiology. The undergraduate curriculum leads to three possible majors: molecular and cell biology (MCB), ecology, evolution, and organismal biology (EEOB), and the non-differentiated biological sciences (BioSci) major. In all three majors, independent research is emphasized in addition to class work. Focused areas of research include biological clocks, genome maintenance, small RNAs, protein trafficking, vector biology, symbiosis, social evolution, microbiomes, speciation, brain asymmetry, synapse formation and plasticity, cell migration, and touch, visual, and olfactory sensory systems. Exciting research questions in these areas are addressed in our labs by undergraduate students, graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and our faculty.
The Department is in the College of Arts and Science and is housed in the Biological Sciences Building, the adjoining Molecular Biology Stevenson Center, and the Learned Lab. These buildings are interconnected with each other and with the Medical Research Building III and the Medical Center North building, a reflection of the overlapping and integrated research activities of the Department of Biological Sciences and the Medical School. Students and faculty of the two schools share resources and core facilities and participate in trans-institutional programs and centers, leading to informal and formal collaborations and synergistic research endeavors.

I just committed nail polish blasphemy.
Don't get me wrong, I own a few fetching greens myself. I just don't get the whole hype (i.e., $80 eBay Zulu madness). Maybe it's because I don't really wear green. I'm most likely to get pinched every March 17 because I don't have anything green to wear.
...Until now.
Prior to the China Glaze Summer Days collection, I only owned two other full collections (Zoya Flourish and Chanel Moscou) and two almost-full collections (Zoya Twist minus Moxie and Misa Sugar Sugar minus Confection Section). I was immediately attracted to the glass-flecked gorgeousness of it all. However, one color stole my heart:
...China Glaze Watermelon Rind.
Wearing this after the disaster known as Zoya Kotori completely restored my faith in nail polish and (maybe?) made me believe in green.

I don't get green.
I just committed nail polish blasphemy.

I ordered this collection, can't wait to get mine. I agree with the greens. I think it boils down to green was/is such an unusal nail polish color, and so they didn't come along that often (of course now that is changing as more greens are being made)and people love to look for those h2f and always want what they can't have.

I love green! It's so unusual! I grab up a green whenever I can. I have right now and I'm going to use them all for the month of March's "NOTW" in my 52 Flavors color challenge.
I am absolutely in love w/that Summer collection from China Glaze. I will be ordering mine w/in the next day or two. I just have to have it.

OMG it's gorgeous!!! I don't own one single green as of yet, but I can see that it's time to change that :)

Brooke--I'm sick of searching for HTFs, specifically online. I prefer to admire NARS Zulu and other similar VHTFs from afar.
The Pretty Brown Girl--Sounds like a great St. Patty's Day plan! The Summer Days collection is totally worth it...even the reds/pinks are fantastic!
Vanessa--Watermelon Rind is definitely a great start on the road to green!
- February 24, 2009 at 1:58 PM

I'm waiting for my collection to come. I love all the greens. I just wish China Glaze would do a collection of greens like they did with the blues.

Whenever i wear green, i feel a mixture of christmas/shrek/monster. I love green but i dont think i appreciate it as much as other ladies here. The closest thing i can get to is teal. But it definately looks watermelony and fab on you.
- February 25, 2009 at 6:09 AM
- Nessa said...
I really can't do green. I bought Aykra (i think) and I really couldn't stand it! I took it off the next day!
- February 25, 2009 at 12:45 PM
- The Asian Girl said...
Lucy--I saw the green "copy" of the Bahama Blues collection; I would probably get at least one color if it did happen.
Danica--thanks! I, too, feel strange wearing green.
Nessa--from what I can see in pictures, Akyra looks like Rimmel's Green With Envy...a color I own that I can't pull off. I felt the same way after Kotori.

Who Loves Ya, Linux Baby?
May 21, 2012 5:00 AM PT
If there's anything important in this competitive world, it's the ability to tell one's friends from one's enemies.
We here in the Linux blogosphere tend to be pretty good at that, but recently a surprising turn of events left us befuddled. Namely: Mozilla's decision to leave Linux support out of the initial release of its upcoming Web Apps marketplace.
Mozilla has been nothing if not a friend to FOSS over the years -- indeed, it's one of our very own best successes -- and Linux users tend to be among its most ardent supporters.
So what's up with this latest development? Was it just a simple delay? Was it a complete oversight? Or does it foretell a relationship gone sour? That's what Linux bloggers have been trying to decide.
'Stop Bitching and Start Coding'
"Unlike with Internet Explorer, if the Linux community feels strongly about this, they could always do their own fork," advised crazyjj over on Slashdot, for example. "So stop bitching and start coding."
Then again: "You most likely wouldn't even need to fork it; it's not like Mozilla is fundamentally opposed to the idea -- they just can't justify the resources necessary for it at the moment," offered Anonymous Coward. "If you were to fully implement it with some decent code, I'm pretty sure Mozilla would be more than happy to integrate it."
And another view: "Forking is what causes forking confusion," opined cpu6502. "It makes newbies runaway from GNUlinux rather than try it, and even experienced people like me say, 'I'm tired of 10 different variants of Mozilla browsers, and the desktop changing every release. I'm going back to Win or Mac OS for some multiyear stability.'"
Bloggers down at the Linux blogosphere's Punchy Penguin Saloon were eager to share views of their own.
'Makes Me Want to Look to Alternatives'
"This kind of thing is especially frustrating to me," began Google+ blogger Linux Rants.
Regarding Mozilla staffer Dan Mills' dismissal of the move as "just not something that affects the 80 percent," such thought processes are "self-fulfilling," Linux Rants opined.
"Software companies don't write Linux software because so few people use it, but more people don't use it because many software companies don't write software for it," he explained. "Mozilla's laissez-faire attitude towards the Linux community makes me want to look to alternatives to Firefox."
No More 'Supergigantic Smartphone'
Consultant and Slashdot blogger Gerhard Mack had a more pragmatic view.
"How much I care will depend on how long it takes them to implement the Linux version and if it turns out to be useful in the first place," he said.
Slashdot blogger hairyfeet, on the other hand, was more skeptical about Mozilla's future.
"Looking at the mockups for future releases, it's all Metro UI mess -- their numbers are dropping like flies because it's obvious the users DO NOT WANT what direction they are pushing.
"So, do they change?" hairyfeet asked. "Nope, they just drop support for one OS and give the others....shudder...a candy-coated horror that looks like it's made for a cell phone and NOT the desktop!"
Moving forward, "can we all just say NO to making everything a 'supergigantic smartphone,' please?" hairyfeet entreated.
'Oh Wait....'
Mozilla's move is "Good News for Linux users," offered Barbara Hudson, a blogger on Slashdot who goes by "Tom" on the site.
"After all, who needs yet another app store with yet more fart apps?" Hudson explained. "Unlike Apple and Microsoft users, Linux users won't have to go out of their way to avoid this."
Now, "if only Linux users had some way to find and install software packages tailored to their particular distro ... some sort of 'package manager' ... it would download the packaged application, uncompress it, install it, add an entry with an icon in the menu ...
"Oh, wait ...," Hudson continued.
'Think Niche Marketing!'
"Apple users will definitely want Mozilla Web Apps ... after all, if there's one thing Apple is missing, it's a better way to get apps," Hudson said. "Ignore the 25 billion Apple App Store downloads in less than four years, or that Apple has the highest loyalty in the business.
"Think niche marketing!" she advised. "What can possibly be more niche than the three people who will want to run Mozilla Web Apps on their iPads?"
Of course, there are Android users ... "Oh wait, unlike when this was initially proposed two years ago, Android now has hundreds of thousands of apps," Hudson pointed out. "And it looks like Oracle can't kill Dalvik, so those Android Apps are here to stay. Drat!"
'Yet Another Stupid App Store Proposal'
On the bright side, "there's always Windows users," she suggested. "They clearly need Mozilla's Web Apps Store, because nobody develops software for Windows devices ... in some alternate universe, where Windows goes around wearing a red shirt and is spelled B-L-A-C-K-B-E-R-R-Y-P-L-A-Y-B-O-O-K."
As for Windows Phone 7 users? "They're certainly a lonely bunch, and getting lonelier by the minute," Hudson said. "Unlike Apple or Android, Microsoft has to pay people to develop apps for Windows Phone 7.
"Everyone knows free is better," she added. "Let's ask those developers to make Web apps for Mozilla for free! What could possibly go wrong?"
If all this sounds ridiculous, "it's because the whole concept is ridiculous," Hudson concluded. "Everywhere you look, there's YASASP: 'Yet Another Stupid App Store Proposal.' We need another App Store as much as a street corner with three Starbucks needs a fourth."

The Things I Never Knew!
I thought I knew almost everything there was to know about Grandma Ruth. I loved hearing about her father who drove a coal wagon, but who suffered from epileptic seizures, often during his deliveries. His horse knew the route so well it would carry on house to house until the route was done, then bring my great-grandfather back home.
Her mother ran a boarding house. Grandma was sickly as a child and developed a tick, a nervous little cough and shake of the head. One of her brothers died as a teenager. And on and on it went. Grandma told me the same stories so many times I had them memorized.
I was lucky when I began my genealogy quest into her lines, I knew her grandparents' names, I knew where her ancestors were born, where they lived, what their occupations were. I knew all about Grandma's siblings, in fact I met several of them during my own childhood.
But yesterday I decided to search the 1911 census online on 1911census.co.uk I hadn't done this before because I figured I wasn't really going to learn anything new so why pay for credits to see the image(s). I say images because my maternal grandfather was also born in England and he too would be in that 1911 census as a teenager. But I was pretty darn sure there was absolutely nothing *new* I could add to my knowledge of the families from the 1911 census.
I was wrong.
The 1911 census for 10 Chapel Place, Ramsgate showed my grandmother Ruth as a 17 year old. Her siblings at home were as expected - Lilian, 25 and Sydney, 12. Her grandmother Sarah Simpson, a 70 year old widow, lived with the family. And her father David and mother were also listed, her mother's occupation shown as a boarding house keeper. But there were two surprises and a few interesting new facts.
Surprise #!: my great grandmother who I knew as Sarah Jane Simpson, listed herself as "Jane". I'd never heard her referred to by her middle name. Since she is the person who signed as having filled out the form, I'm going to assume she knew what name others called her.
Surprise #2: My grandmother Ruth was listed as being a milliner in a showroom. I never knew she made and sold hats! Why didn't she ever talk about that? I have seen photos of her beautifully dressed as a youngster and as a married woman. Her two little girls were also in beautifully crafted outfits that I was pretty sure she had made personally and I saw her knit and crochet and tat and do all kinds of beautiful sewing but I never knew she made her living at it. I have an entirely new mental picture now of my grandmother as a teenage girl.
New Fact: I knew the family lived at 10 Chapel Place in Ramsgate but I never knew how many rooms they had in their home. That information is provided in the 1911 census. I see that my great-grandmother Sarah (I mean Jane!) Simpson wrote that there were 14 rooms in the house. That's a pretty big place for 1911 England! But this number was crossed out and in an entirely different handwriting was written the number 7. Still pretty big.
The instructions for counting the number of rooms states "write below the number of rooms in this dwelling (house, tenement or apartment) Count the kitchen as a room but do not count scullery, lobby, closet, bathroom; nor warehouse, office, shop" I was intrigued. I'm pretty sure there was no office, warehouse or shop there so what rooms did Jane count to get from 7 to 14? They had to be rooms referred to as scullery, lobby, closet or bathroom. She ran a boarding house so presumably there were extra bedrooms, each having its own closet. But is that what was meant by "closet" in 1911 England?
A scullery is a separate room off the kitchen which held tableware so I'm fairly certain great-grandma's house had one of those. She probably had a lobby (what we might call a foyer or entrance hall). But that's only more rooms beyond the final count of 7. I'm assuming she had a parlour (a front living room) and perhaps an informal living room. She had a kitchen and I suspect a dining room due to having boarders. So that makes 3 or 4 rooms. Bedrooms - she must have had at least 3 for family and at least one extra f(she had one boarder in 1911). So we come to the final tally of 7 rooms. If Jane added the scullery, lobby and one closet for each bedroom (4) we get a total of 13. To get that first number of 14 rooms we might add that informal living room.
Boring? Not to me. I can now form a pretty good mental image of my grandmother's home in 1911. I don't need to know the actual layout of rooms, although I would love to! I can still picture my grandmother rushing downstairs from her bedroom (no doubt shared with her older sister Lilian) to the kitchen to partake of breakfast before heading out to the shop where she worked.
And so I learned another valuable lesson and yes you CAN teach an old genealogist new tricks! Never never never assume you know all there is to know. Leave no stone unturned, gather details and enjoy your journey into the past.

i wonder if the house is still there and if you can do the google view in England.
- Geni Grant said...
That's such an interesting story. Census research provides such great information.
How did you like the interface of the 1911 Census site? How does it compare to places like Family Search in your opinion?
Are more specialized records sites more compelling?
- Michelle Goodrum said...
Thank you for an excellent reminder.
It would be really cool if you could use Google Earth to see the house as Kristin suggests!
- RAH said...
You can Google street view this street, and the houses on the north side of the street look like they were there in 1911. I'm not sure if it's the right side of the street (it's not unless the numbering has been changed since) but the chances are the houses were originally the same on both sides of the street. These do look like good-sized houses.

It IS fascinating what shards of information we can glean. I don't find it boring at all! Great example of looking for the details.

Thanks to all for the suggestion of using Google Earth to see my Grandmother's home in 1911. I actually wrote about discovering Google Street View last summer! I'd never thought of using it before, but had a few days of great fun looking for all my maternal ancestors' homes in England. Here's the blog post I wrote about my fun

@Geni - interesting question! I loved the 1911 interface on the website. It was easy to use and the wildcard abilities were outstanding.
I could put the first letter of the surname and nothing else, if I wanted. I was also able to type a first name (for example) and tell the search engine to look for variant names.
Images were fast to load and crystal clear.
Perhaps searching a site that specializes in one database is a better user experience.... just thinking out loud....

Hi - You asked what a closet was ... this would be a Water Closet ... the old name given to a toilet ... in the UK we still hear people calling it the WC

Nats Trade Ray, et al For Doug Fister
In a trade reminiscent of two Decembers ago, the Nationals have traded LHPs Robbie Ray and Ian Krol along with utilityman Steve Lombardozzi for Tigers RHP Doug Fister.
Fister, who was not drafted by the Arizona Diamondbacks but rather the Seattle Mariners in the 7th Round of the 2006 Draft, turns 30 in February but is only in his second year of arbitration eligibility. He cannot become a free agent until after the 2015 season, providing Washington with a in-his-prime pitcher who's exceeded 200 innings twice in the past three seasons and averaged more than six innings per appearance for his career.
Trade reaction is generally in the direction of adulation (trust me, I wanted to use a stronger word than that; think Apple fans and Jobs) for Washington GM Mike Rizzo's latest trade or disdain for Detroit GM Dave Dombrowksi.
Then there are those who take the contrarian point of view:
Have to believe Tigers know something about Fister the rest of us don't. Dombrowski isn't dumb.
— David Laurila, Fangraphs via Twitter (@DavidLaurilaQA)
Of course, like a hermaphrodite's knife, this cuts both ways: maybe Rizzo knows something about Ray or Krol like he presumably did with Brad Peacock, who has underwhelmed relative to the expectations set from his rise from AA to the majors in 2011. This is de rigeur with any trade that seems lopsided at first blush, though ultimately, it's really hard to say that Rizzo "won" the Gonzalez trade. Oakland GM Billy Beane did get a cost-controlled pitcher and catcher and used Peacock to acquire an underrated everyday third baseman, fulfilling his mission to get talent on the cheap [insert "Moneyball" reference here].
From our perspective, it's yet another reminder that for all our yearnings to see "our guys" with a curly W cap in DC, there's always the chance that they'll make The Show elsewhere. While that may be disappointing to some, it's the reality of a system that's not been highly regarded in the aggregate in the past couple of years, yet has been generating major-leaguers nevertheless.
This is actually a good sign, evidence that the organization is in the "Replace/Reload Mode" that ultimately is the most important measure of a system: generating players that can play in MLB.
