By Maurielle LueFox 2 NewsDETROIT (WJBK) -- Three days into the New Year and the senseless murders are already stacking up. 48-year-old Tyrone Hitchcock was brutally killed just 30 minutes before the end of his shift. His passenger, a 46-year-old woman, was also shot. But police say Hitchcock, the woman and the male suspect were all in the car and they all knew each other."He's a very nice guy, family man, [came] to work six days a week, and came to make his living and he ended up shot and dead in the city of Detroit," said Nabil Faraj.He owns Metropolitan Cab, the company Hitchcock was working for. In a teary eyed, early morning interview, he expressed his sympathy to the family. He wasn't sure why Hitchcock was in the area because there was no call to Sunderland on the books. After the shooting, police say the gunman stole the car before ditching it near Mack and St. Antoine."He just wanted to work as all of us do to support our families," said co-worker Jerry Hollis.Hitchcock had a brother, two sisters, a daughter, three grandchildren and countless nieces and nephews."I'm lost for words," said daughter Tykia Tyson. "He did not deserve it. He was such a cool person, like I love him. I cannot believe it happened to him."But it's happened to nearly half a dozen cab drivers in just the past few months."We've got to deal with a lot. We've got to watch people trying to rob us, police constantly harassing us. It's sad. It's a very sad day for us," Hollis said."Yes, I'm angry," said sister Vivian Hitchcock. "I've been angry ever since December 31. Just before New Year's even came in, they shot my dog and now... my brother [is] gone.""They just need to get rid of the guns, period."The female victim was in critical condition at last check.

Shattered Storyarcs
David Tennant's departure has apparently lead to storyarcs being revised, guest actors told to look elsewhere for work and people claiming to be in the know when they are in fact being fed lines which they then repeat verbatim (and this is why Neil Wilkes of Digital Spy belatedly receives our Hack of the Week award for this).
The following has come from a chap called Rich Johnson, quoted on io9.com. Johnson incidentally was responsible for the Paterson Joseph story hitting the shelves.
Apparently, David Tennant had high expectations for the 5th and 6th series of Doctor Who – but also wanted more…
So was David Tennant's leaving the show all down to his need to move on? A now or never thing? Not quite. He had been in negotiations with the BBC for a fifth, even a sixth full series, but wanted another 2009-lite Doctor Who break in 2011, a film pursued, and money above the current BBC wage cap. It didn't happen.
The one bigger casualty, as well as casting for The Doctor sooner than expected, has been an arc in Series Five for the River Song character, revealed in Series 4 as the Doctor's possible future wife. Arc plans are being rewritten, but the new team has plenty of time…
Interesting stuff – note that these are rumours published elsewhere and are repeated here in the course of our regular news gathering.

Broken City
Former cop Billy Taggart (Mark Wahlberg) sees a chance at redemption for past sins when New York City's Mayor Nicolas Hostetler (Russell Crowe) calls on him for a special job. Hostetler thinks his wife, Cathleen (Catherine Zeta-Jones), is having an affair and that it may hurt his chances for re-election. However, a bigger scandal than expected pulls in Billy right at the start of his investigation. Double-crossed by the mayor, Billy begins a relentless quest for justice.

It's a filthy place, this "Broken City." Even the people called "good guys" have their dark side, their dirty secrets and tragic flaws.
And the "bad guys?" They're all over the New York papers, all over New York cable news - a mayor who plays hardball, a guy running against him who's not above crawling in the mud, a police commissioner too quick to make ethical compromises.(Full review)

The following is a guest post by Dana Radcliffe, a senior lecturer of business ethics at the Johnson Graduate School of Management at Cornell University. The opinions expressed are his own.
The day after the Securities and Exchange Commission announced its $550 million settlement with Goldman Sachs, three noted business journalists appeared on a popular current affairs TV show. They concurred that the deal was a win for Goldman since the dollar amount was surprisingly low — equal to what the firm earns in just a few weeks. They felt the SEC's case was weak and that, legally, Goldman had done nothing wrong and would have prevailed in court.
They also agreed that people were understandably appalled by some of the firm's conduct in the subprime mortgage crisis in light of the flood of emails and other internal company documents released by Congress and Goldman. Grasping for a way to express what was repellent about such actions, one of the writers described them as "icky." Another airily noted that they might be seen as wrong "in some ethical, moral, or philosophical sense."
What is remarkable is while all three pundits shared the common view that Goldman had behaved offensively, they would not say that Goldman's behavior was "unethical" or "morally wrong."
This reminded me of the most notorious article ever published in the Harvard Business Review — a 1968 piece by Albert Carr, a former advisor to President Truman. In it, Carr argued that business is akin to poker, where bluffing is often legal and expected. While allowing that deception in one's personal life violates "private morality," Carr contended that business and poker are strategic competitions whose rules permit participants to profit from misrepresentations. Indeed, he wrote, being a skilled practitioner in either endeavor requires occasional bluffing.

Jacob A. Riis arrived in New York in 1870. As the economy slowed, the Danish American photographer found himself among the many other immigrants in the area whose daily life consisted of joblessness, hunger, homelessness, and thoughts of suicide. So when he finally found work as a police reporter in 1877, he made it his mission to reveal the crime and poverty of New York City's East Side slum district to the world.
The resulting book, How the Other Half Lives: Studies Among the Tenements of New York, was published in 1890, and is still considered "a landmark in the annals of social reform." Filled with pictures, sketches and graphic descriptions of the un-imaginable living conditions he found, the book forced the topic of tenement reform to the forefront of every New Yorker's attention.

Murder is nearly always understood as an individual event and the criminal justice system reinforces this notion: there is an artifact, a body, that needs accounting for, and the medical examiner measures, weighs, dissects and categorizes the body as to age, race, gender and cause of death.

NEWPORT NEWS - A murder-suicide has left two children without their parents, police say.
Angela Morrison, 30, was shot by her estranged husband Sunday evening inside his home on Frigate Drive, according to investigators.
Police say Scott Morrison, 31, then shot himself as the five- and eight-year olds were playing in the yard at the home.
According to authorities, the children, who were spending the weekend with their father, heard gunfire around 5:30 p.m. They went inside and found the couple's bodies on the floor near the front door.
They went to a neighbor's home and police were called to the scene.
The children are with relatives, said police spokesman Harold Eley.

The small screen on our portable device can sometimes prove frustrating and eye numbing. If Texas Instruments has their way, we'll all be 'gorilla projection artists' and no longer will we attempt to huddle around small handheld device in hopes of catching a glimpse of 'Sasquatch' video. Now, we've reported on this before, but at the time there wasn't a working prototype. Apparently at this year's CTIA Wireless 2007 show, Texas Instruments showed off its mini DLP projector, called the Pico; small enough to fit in a cell phone – they had it inside a replica device. According to TI the projector will display in DVD quality (course it depends on the source) and is composed of a DLP, 3 lasers, and a power supply. No word when this thing will hit the street, but I'd expect the 'power supply' issue to be their last major hurdle.

Every year, more than 15,000 adults and 15,000 children receive the life-changing diagnosis of type 1 diabetes.
This means careful monitoring of glucose levels, diet, and activities. From pumps to pens, medical research has developed better devices for treatment of type-one diabetes.
Now, the focus is shifting toward trying to stop the disease in its earliest stages.
A few months ago 16 year-old Samantha Coon started losing her appetite. No one realized how serious this really was.
Judy Burke, Samantha's mom, describes, "She just got sicker and sicker and we couldn't figure out exactly what was going wrong."
Samantha now knows she has type 1 diabetes; T-cells in the pancreas destroy beta cells that produce insulin.
Samantha says, "They told me I would be taking shots pretty much for the rest of my life."
Now, in a clinical trial, patients in their first 100 days of type 1 diabetes who are still producing some insulin get different kinds of shots; Intramuscular injections of a drug called Alefacept (ah-leff-uh-sept).
Dr. Eric Felner, Associate Professor of pediatrics at Emory University School of Medicine says, "What we're trying to do is see if we can delay the progression of type 1 diabetes."
Alefacept has been approved to reduce destructive t-cell activity in another auto-immune disorder called plaque psoriasis. Researchers believe it could have a similar effect on diabetes.
Dr. Felner explains, "If we can provide a medication or some kind of intervention that will prevent those cells from being destroyed, then the hope is that these patients will continue being able to produce insulin on their own and not have diabetes."
For Samantha, it's too soon to know if the treatment's working, but she knows no matter what, she will be alright.
Phase two clinical trials for Alefacept are now underway at fifteen centers around the US. This is one of several drug trials targeting patients in the early stages of type 1 diabetes.
BACKGROUND: Type 1 diabetes, once known as juvenile diabetes or insulin-dependent diabetes, is a chronic condition in which the pancreas does not produce insulin -- a hormone needed to allow sugar (glucose) to enter cells to produce energy. When first diagnosed, it is believed that some cells in the pancreas are still viable and continue to produce insulin, but production lessens over time. Various factors may contribute to type 1 diabetes including genetics and exposure to certain viruses. Although type 1 diabetes typically appears during adolescence, it can develop at any age. Despite active research, type 1 diabetes has no cure, although it can be managed. With proper treatment, people who have type 1 diabetes can expect to live longer, healthier lives than in the past. (SOURCE: Mayo Clinic, www.choa.org)
SYMPTOMS: Type 1 diabetes signs and symptoms can come on quickly and may include:
• Increased thirst and frequent urination: As excess sugar builds up in the bloodstream, fluid is pulled from tissues. This may leave you thirsty. As a result, you may drink and urinate more than usual.
• Extreme hunger: Without enough insulin to move sugar into your cells, your muscles and organs become depleted of energy. This triggers intense hunger that may persist even after you eat.
• Weight loss: Despite eating more than usual to relieve hunger, you may lose weight -- sometimes rapidly.
• Fatigue: If your cells are deprived of sugar, you may become tired and irritable.
• Blurred vision: If your blood sugar level is too high, fluid may be pulled from your tissues -- including the lenses of your eyes. This may affect your ability to focus clearly. (SOURCE: Mayo Clinic)
ALEFACEPT: Alefacept is a protein that reduces specific actions of the immune system and may increase risks of developing or reactivating a chronic infection. In a clinical trial, patients in their first 100 days of having type 1 diabetes receive injections of the drug. Alefacept reduces levels of white blood cells in the body

Christie is doing good work in the blue state of New Jersey trying to trim spending, and as such he has received notice and praise in fiscal conservative circles. Some have even talked about him as a potential Presidential candidate in 2012. Unfortunately he is very weak on immigration. Not only does he seem to advocate for amnesty (a "clear path" to citizenship), but he also is critical of state level action such as Arizona's new law. As I point out in the comments, immigration and the demographic change it brings about is an existential issue for the GOP. Apparently Christie can't do simple math or is perfectly OK with his party being permanently relegated to an increasingly irrelevant minority status.
Addendum: It seems like the Politico writer Smith has spun Christie's statement somewhat. I'm still not crazy about Christie's statement, but Smith does appear to have embellished it some. Thanks to RonL for pointing this out.

His hand-picked Lieutenant Governor, Kim Guadagno, is pretty good on immigration. Her last job was County Sheriff of a county in Northern NJ, and she signed up for 287g.
I'm not surprised Christie is on the other side on immigration and all other implicitly racial issues. Hal Turnergate pretty much proves why.
While Christie is nowhere near as strong as I would like, you confuse Christie's actual statements with the spin of the leftist Smith.

Tripod Essentials
Super Photo Magic School
Ok, listen up friends, shooting with a tripod is the way to go. Why lug around and purchase another piece of equipment that seems to slow me down and get in my way? Because of the photographs.
Spending time getting the image right while shooting versus trying to fix things and cut corners in post production (believe me, I've tried to fool myself in this manner several times to no avail!) delivers higher quality images. With a tripod, you can do several things shooting off the cuff just can't measure up to.
The biggest whopper of a reason? Your images will be sharp and crisp. In photography, yes, it's all about the light, but it's just as much about intentional focus. That means things that are supposed to be in focus are clear and sharp as a tack. By using a tripod, you eliminate a lot of the shake that comes with shooting freestyle. Shake = blur.
Your interior shots will have straighter lines. When you use a level (most tripods have this built into their base), you can square up your vertical and horizon lines while you're photographing a room. This can elevate your images about 10 fold, this precision. Next time you're flipping through Dwell or Elle Decor, notice the where each room wall meets to form a corner, you can bet a dollar that line will be perfectly straight and parallel to any other vertical lines. Same with the horizontals. Go and look! You know who defies this convention often? Todd Selby. He's a rebel and he rocks, that's a whole other story.
Another thing, you can shoot from a lower perspective. When shooting at eye level, you are off axis to a lot of the furniture in any given room. Plus, as viewers we pick up on the photographer shooting at eye level and we recognize it. When you get lower, more perpendicular with major pieces in a room, you achieve those straighter line I'm going on about and you shoot the furniture more head on. By using a tripod and setting your camera at about stomach-chest high, you get that perspective.
All these little things add up to a more professional, higher quality set of images. Are you wondering about the magic of what sets some photographers apart? It's the discipline to set things up well in camera instead of relying on fancy editing. Part of that set up will usually involve a tripod. At first, working with a tripod will feel cumbersome and too time consuming, but the more you use one and integrate it into your photo routine, the better your images will become. So worth the learning curve!
I've included a few images from a tour I shot to illustrate what I'm talking about — the photos are crisp, the lines are straight up and down where one wall meets another and they were all taken at my chest level (I'm pretty short, 5'4", so this height may vary for taller and smaller people).

Agreed! For my blog, I am basically 100% tripod around the house now. I just leave it set up unless people are coming over. It makes a GIGANTOR difference.
Great article. I'd love to incorporate a tripod into my routine, but I'm not sure which one to get, do you have a recommendation for a reasonably priced one that might have a level? Thanks.
Jaredpdesigns, I just got this one, and it has a level. Works great, nice and cheap:
Just wanted to comment about the straight lines. Professional interior and architectural photographs are taken with wide-angle tilt-shift lenses, which actually alter the plane of focus to create literal straight lines. A regular lens will still get angled lines even if it's perfectly straight on one plane. :)

That's probably because it is too good to be true.
It's very questionable whether Minnesota would be willing to deal just Al Jefferson straight up for the Amare Stoudemire Situation, so to think they'd also be willing to add the No. 6 pick to sweeten that pot is downright loony.
I think every Suns fan who read that rumor knew in their heart of hearts that there was no way in hell it would happen, but it was nice to think about for a couple hours just the same.
The very next morning after everybody got all excited, Spears and The Globe reported that the Suns were rebuffed in their attempts to make this deal happen and new T-Wolves GM David Kahn personally called Big Al to let him know nothing was going down.
Now we can go back to our regularly scheduled offseason, which is sure to have a couple more random rumors thrown in along the way.
I still maintain my stance that the Suns should not and hopefully will not trade Amare Stoudemire because there just won't be anything close to an Al Jefferson and No. 6 pick waiting on the other end.
The rumors haven't fazed Amare, who tweeted, "True Amar'e fans, don't worry about the trade rumors.Its Phoenix Suns Nation for now. Let's stay focus. By the way my eye is doing great."
Good to hear his eye is doing well, and good to hear the current rumors aren't bothering him considering the fact that he admitted that the Suns rumors concerning him around the deadline troubled him a bit. "For now" at least.
What I find most interesting about this whole thing is the way rumors are reported in the age of the Internet in the year 2009.
If my buddy at a party comes up to and tells me he heard about a deal in which the Suns could get Jefferson and the No. 6 for Amare, then I tell him he's had more than a few too many.
But since a reputable writer in Spears for a reputable paper in The Globe reported it, this thing spread like wildfire.
All of a sudden it's on ESPN (even making an appearance on my video player) and every other news network and blog out there. It's a legitimate talking point when in reality anybody who's ever watched an NBA game could tell you this was never going to happen.
Then finally in the morning we get all the denials from all involved, and it's as if this rumor never happened. Hell, The Globe has gone so far as to take down the original post that caused all this commotion in the first place for whatever reason.
I really wonder if the Memphis Commercial Appeal would report something totally off the wall that would never happen like Rudy Gay and the No. 2 pick for Amare if the same kind of ridiculous buzz would ensue. In the era of the blogosphere, I wouldn't doubt it.
Meanwhile, Steve Kerr spent Thursday in New York talking to Steve Nash about his vision for the offseason.
"It was a good meeting," Kerr told Suns.com. "It was very productive and it was just about laying groundwork for future talks."
Buckle up, ladies and gentleman, there's a lot more craziness yet to come.

Lately I have had a few requests for my thoughts on using Ubuntu Server. For me the real question at that point is why use Ubuntu server over Debian?
I have used Ubuntu server a good bit and while I appreciate the effort, I am not sure I agree with it. What I mean by this is that Ubuntu is based on Debian testing/unstable. Every LTS (Long-term Support) release is guaranteed to be supported for 3 years on the desktop/5 for the server. Knowing that is in essence just Debian under the hood, why go with Ubuntu?
Ubuntu's secret sauce is in the desktop, but in the server it is more difficult to justify. If support is the major concern (and lets be VERY serious about how often the support will be executed on) then you can use HP for their Debian Support:
Next question to ask is what commercial product suites are you targeting? The OS is merely the tool to execute on your mission. Debian I would argue has less commercial support due to Canonical out there pounding the pavement with vendors. It is becoming more of an issue as Debian != Ubuntu anymore with the divergence in kernel setups and package choices. Most of the major enterprise apps are unaffected by this now:
- NetBackup – Supports Both – http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH63359
- Oracle – Not supported on either version, but Oracle provides a Debain repo for Oracle XE
- VMware Server – Ubuntu Only: https://www.vmware.com/products/server/faqs.html
- NetCool – Debian Support: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tivihelp/v8r1/topic/com.ibm.netcool_pm.doc/TNPFA_4.1.0_Installation_and_User_Guide_en.pdf
- SELinux – Debian has much better support
- AppArmor – Ubuntu default
- Nessus – Supported on both - http://www.nessus.org/download/
- DISA is evaluating Debian for STIG possibilities; not Ubuntu - http://www.disa.mil/ucco/webfiles/apl_process/STIG_Questionnaire.pdf
- EAL NIAP Validation – Neither; use Red Hat or SuSE
As a community, Debian has much better outreach and support in my opinion. While Debain may not have the name recognition it is the default choice for long-term stable servers in my home. If the choice is for US Federal applications be aware that neither are approved. With that said Debian is used "places" and isn't that tough to showcase it complies with security policies. In fact Debian+SElinux is a very potent combo for security and stability.
For me the choice comes down to "What does Ubuntu Server offer me?" Currently I can see no big discriminator that would warrant leaving a tried-and-true Debian ecosystem for Ubuntu Server. Unlike in Ubutnu Server where only the main repo is provided the 5 year support, Debian supports all 25,000+ packages in the repos for security updates. Chances are good that something you need to operate is in the universe/multiverse repo on Ubuntu Server. Check this before making the jump.
One of the first places that Ubuntu and Debian diverged was with Upstart. Debian teams have been tracking it since 2009 as a possible integration, but due to Debian now supporting FreeBSD and GNU/Hurd the future seems bleak for bug 547235 is fixed allowing for a compatibility mode. While it might not seem like a big deal, this is a big change to the baseline configs. Init scripts will need to be rewritten and much like Solaris 9 –> Solaris 10, there is a lot of bugs still to workout. If your support staff deals primarily in Red Hat and SuSE boxes there will be a learning curve with Ubuntu vs. Debian.
The only heartburn I have with Debian is the length of security patches. Debian's security policy states that security patches will be provided for one year AFTER the next stable release. That means that Debian 5.0 (released in 2009) will be supported till 2012 for security patches. That is just 3 years of coverage, which wouldn't sound so bad until you think about all the 2003 boxes and Solaris 9 boxes running around the enterprise. Ubuntu states 5 years worth of support, but the track record isn't there yet for me to feel comfy with it. They have shown with 6.06 Server Edition that they made 5 years. Maybe one more cycle will be enough to ease that concern for me:
It comes down to brand recognition. Ask yourself why you are considering Ubuntu Server. Most likely an admin has played with it at home on their laptops or in a VM. If it is in name alone then why not give Debian a try. Why drink RC Cola when you can have Coke?

Gilad Japhet/MyHeritage
MyHeritage wants to be the family social network.
People join MyHeritage to build and explore their family trees. Once they do that, they're encouraged to reach out to family members and stay in touch with their families.
In an interview, MyHeritage Founder/CEO Gilad Japhet told us that non-genealogy activities on the site are already 25% of the usage, and growing fast.
Facebook makes it too complicated for people to set up groups and lists to share specifically with their family. This may be the opportunity that Google+ will tackle, and Japhet takes Google+ and its social circles as validation of its mission.
Twitter is a broadcast medium, and Facebook is really a sharing network for one's extended social network, but there is an opportunity for a social service focused on families which are, after all, the most basic and important human unit.
For example, MyHeritage has introduced a clever social payment product where families chip in and motivate each other to buy a premium subscription.
"There are already some 800 million profiles on MyHeritage, and we will soon surpass one billion. We would like to convert half of them (living people) to active members so that MyHeritage will become the de facto social nework for families. It will take us time to get there, but...5-10 years down the line, I hope that is where we will be," Japhet told us.

PORTLAND, Ore. -- Wesley Matthews' shot wasn't falling -- until it had to in the clutch. Matthews' back-to-back 3-pointers in the final minute lifted the Portland Trail Blazers to a come-from-behind, 92-90 victory over the Miami Heat on Thursday night at the Rose Garden. Until that point, Matthews -- who finished with 18 points -- had made only five of 16 shots from the field. "If I didn't shoot with confidence, they probably weren't going in," Matthews said. "That's how this game works. You believe, you play hard, you compete, you play the right way, you play with confidence, and the basketball gods will look out for you." Portland (20-15) earned its 12th win in 15 games and its ninth consecutive home victory. The Blazers trailed by 12 points early in the fourth quarter before mounting a rally that had the Garden noise level at its highest crescendo at game's end.

Estimating and forecasting the euro area monthly national accounts from a dynamic factor model
AbstractWe estimate and forecast growth in euro area monthly GDP and its components from a dynamic factor model due to Doz et al. (2005), which handles unbalanced data sets in an efficient way. We extend the model to integrate interpolation and forecasting together with cross-equation accounting identities. A pseudo real-time forecasting exercise indicates that the model outperforms various benchmarks, such as quarterly time series models and bridge equations in forecasting growth in quarterly GDP and its components.

The obituaries are the most interesting part of The Miami Herald. You get to "meet" some wonderful people, folks who were hard-working, dedicated, charitable and caring. You'll meet Americans, no matter where they were born, who led hard lives with tough jobs, but people who could look back and say, "My son, the doctor" or "My beautiful little girl is now a lawyer." These are people who lived the American Dream that their kids will have a better life than they did.
You will also meet people who led amazing lives: fighter pilots, GIs who slogged through Europe, Marines who were on Iwo Jima. You'll read about "Rosie," who was a housewife or a beautician or an usherette at the local theater in 1941 and the next year was building B-17s and Sherman tanks.
You'll find the first black woman to be a CEO of a large company. You will read about a Hispanic woman who came to this country with a big dream and a Spanish-English dictionary. She left a long string of accomplishments.
Most of the people probably didn't realize how many lives they touched, how many lives they made better and how many smiles they created.
Yes, the obits are a sad place. But, thanks to writer Elinor Brecher, you're going to meet some pretty interesting people.

My Brother is a Monster
MY MOTHER played piano and cello. My father draws, paints, and sculpts; plays trumpet and guitar; and led an advanced R&D lab in the 1970s, developing robotics and rocket parts. You know what I do, but I also play keyboards and other instruments, studied music theory, and composed and produced music in my own studio before failing up into my present career. We Zeldmans go our own way, bring our own juice, and leave a trail of tears and gold. But my brother Pete Zeldman is the real talent in the family.
My brother Pete spontaneously composes and performs music of such rhythmic complexity that Edgard Varèse and Frank Zappa would be proud. Even with an advanced music degree, you'd have a tough time following the music analytically. But you don't have to, because it grooves. That's the crazy surprise of it. My brother plays 17 in the time of 16 in the time of 15 in the time of 14, with cross rhythms in simultaneous 3/4 and 7/8, and you could dance to it. Admittedly, you couldn't pogo, but it doesn't pretend to be punk. Musically it is probably the exact opposite of punk, but spiritually it is punk because it is pure affirmation.
My brother made two CDs before releasing his new video, Enigma, this week. I listen to these CDs a lot. Although I've watched my brother develop his unique rhythmic musical theories over the past 20 years, I don't attempt to "follow" the music in any analytical fashion while listening. I just let it wash over me. So can you.
New art is rarely understood. New music is rarely what the people want. They threw tomatoes at Debussy and Stravinsky, and now their compositions are gentle backgrounds for dentist's offices. White people laughed at rock and roll and their children danced to it. Those rockers laughed at hip hop and their kids dance to it. My brother's music is like that. It is something new. It's not going to be a movement because it takes a certain kind of twisted genius to conceive of and play it. But you might like it. And if you're a drummer, you probably need to hear it.
I am proud of my brother and delighted to share his genius with you. Samples from his new video are available at pete-zeldman.com. His CDs are also available.

"Failing up"; Yes, I can relate to this! What a wonderful phrase.
The best drummer I have ever seen live is Dennis Chambers. Apparently Mr Chambers said that he "didn't believe what he heard wasn't overdubbed" after hearing one of your brothers recordings. That in itself would make me want to check Pete out!
I have just watched the video, and this former guitarist (now failed up web dev) can't work out what the hell is going on! I can tap my foot to it, but this groove is from another planet.
Far out.

As another music theory student turned web dev, color me super impressed. It's not just that he can play these polyrhythms, but that he actually makes them groove. If you stop analyzing and just sit back and listen, you end up bobbing your head and grooving along. Very impressive to make these hemiolas sound so fluid and groovy. Awesome. Thanks for sharing!

Ben Carlson said on 23 October 2012 at 2:26 pm:
The drumming isn't the talent that gets me (and that's incredibly impressive on its own), it's the ability to explain what he's doing over the top of the actual (insanely complex) playing! Very cool, and thanks for sharing!
Brade said on 23 October 2012 at 3:16 pm:
He should be opening for Battles.

Joe Chellman said on 23 October 2012 at 5:39 pm:
I've been a fan of Pete's since I heard Other Not Elsewhere years ago. It's terrifying what he can do. And let's not forget that while he's doing these things which the rest of us drummers (slash web developers) can barely understand, let alone do, he's talking about what he's doing. Good friggin lord. What he's doing is really interesting and cool, but it makes my brain throb.
Daniel said on 23 October 2012 at 6:27 pm:
Your brother's website rocks!
Bill DeRouchey said on 23 October 2012 at 6:30 pm:
Yeah, this is jawdropping wow. My favorite part may be his frequent "back to the nine," you know, because 9/8 time is the normal everyday boring part.
Damn he can play.
Jon Armstrong said on 23 October 2012 at 8:06 pm:
Your brother is not from a known dimension.
Freshman year I roomed with the son of a rocket scientist. Brains. Dinner with them was fascinating. Your family, what I know from reading you for all these years, sounds so very similar.
Thanks for sharing this insanity. Like others have said, it's not just that he's playing. It's the talking while doing it.
Awesome 3
Robert Heaney said on 24 October 2012 at 11:55 am:
Stunning. The independence of all four limbs, and then the ability to speak so well while doing all that simply boggles the mind. Loved where he was going at the end with it. I'll have to see more.
Monster? We need a better word.
Jim Hassinger said on 24 October 2012 at 12:20 pm:
Know what's the most amazing to me? He can keep it all up and tell you what he's doing.
Jurgen said on 24 October 2012 at 4:20 pm:
Did he ever audition for FZ?
Paul Burgess said on 25 October 2012 at 12:10 pm:
That is both fascinating and mesmerizing. Whilst trying to fathom what is going on with the hands, I forget about all the footwork going on as well – and then he's talking about it too whilst on some 11.5/5 Hyper Split Reverse rhythm.
Don Ulrich said on 25 October 2012 at 3:30 pm:
"I am proud of my brother" that, now that is music.

I love Billy Cobham and say Dennis Chambers is perfect, however your brother is a kind of drummer-technical-groove-genius, i am deeply impressed, thanks for sharing!

A prayer, a thought, a hope, that the east coast is alright. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Hang Tough.

Man, I miss complex rhythm nerdiness and music theory (as I'm also a musician gone web dev). What he does in this video is mind-boggling. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

bedroom disaster
I just moved to a new home and can't get my dresser up the stairs without removing the ball feet attached. i removed the screws but they are still held on with wood glue. Do you know a wood glue solvent or something that would at least loosen it so i could pry them off
You could cut them off nicely with a sharp tooth saw...them glue em back on. Hope that helped.
Welcome Angelrumore:
I would hate to do any cutting on the furniture. Is the mirror removed? Have you tried using an appliance dolly (one of those that has the straps to hold the load and arranged to climb stairs easily) and turning the dresser up on its end to go up? Taking the mirror off and removing all the drawers will help with the size and weight, while the strap will help you keep it under control. If nothing else, you could rent one one from U-Haul.
If you do cut them off I would use a Japenese saw to this.
Since you posted 2 weeks ago I have to assume the issue is already resolved, but that's never stopped me from pushing my advice before ;) . You could try padding the feet with towels and a block of wood, then rapping it with a hammer to break the glue joint.
The problem with cutting the joint is you loose some of the wood. If you have to cut it though, then Daryl is right on about the Japanese style saw. You can get one cheap at Lowe's or Home Depot. Get the thinnest, finest one they have. Also, mark which order they go back because no two cuts are going to be exactly the same.

A-line Side Drape Strapless Gown Style V9665 100 102
Gorgeous Gown! This dress was the 3rd dress I tried on. It took my breath away as soon as I stood in front of the mirror. It has just enough beading to dress it up, but doesn't take away from the beauty of the bride. The other dresses I tried on (I tried on more just to be sure) were either too plain, or there was too much beading. I have sensitive skin, so the excessive beading from the other gowns irritated my arms. THIS dress didn't, and it fit me like a glove! I bought it that day and took it home with me. I can't wait to have my future husband see me in it in November! March 9, 2011
The Perfect Dress This dress is amazing. It is very flattering, the corset back makes it a perfect fit, and the dress photographs very well. It was my dream dress and my husband just loved it. March 5, 2011
Better than I dreamed As soon as I put this dress on I knew it was the one. It is beautiful, slimming, and made me feel like a princess. I was surprised at how light it is to wear, and how easy it is to move and sit down in. The lace up back and the beading throughout the dress is gorgeous. I am so excited for my fiancee to see me in this dress. This dress will not disappoint guaranteed! February 23, 2011
so beautiful! this dress is absolutely beautiful!! it accenuates in all the right places & it was so comfortable too! I got married on 10/15/10 & wore the dress in ivory. It was perfect for the fall weather & I got sooo many compliments on my dress! I knew the second I saw myself in this dress that it was "the one" bc I immediately burst into tears! it made me feel like an elegant bride! the beading & appliques on this dress are gorgeous & the satin feels amazing! & the price was so minimal i was very impressed with the quality! i used to watch the show "say yes to the dress" all the time & i would see these girls spending like $5,000-$10,000 on dresses which were gorgeous don't get me wrong but I was also thinking my dress is just as beautiful as any of those dresses & the cost was no where near that! Also I had a wonderful experience at davids from my consultant & all thru the process of picking out accessories to my fitting, everyone was amazing & so accomodating! I think this is the perfect dress for anyone! February 14, 2011

Product Details
As the world redesigns and rebuilds in the face of economic and ecological crises, unprecedented numbers of architects are out of work. What does this say about the value of architecture? That is the question that confronted architect Eric Cesal as he finished graduate school at the onset of the worst financial meltdown in a generation. Down Detour Road is his journey: one that begins off-course, and ends in a hopeful new vision of architecture.
Like many architects of his generation, Cesal confronts a cold reality. Architects may assure each other of their own importance, but society has come to view architecture as a luxury it can do without. For Cesal, this recognition becomes an occasion to rethink architecture and its value from the very core. He argues that the times demand a new architecture, an empowered architecture that is useful and relevant. New architectural values emerge as our cultural values shift: from high risks to safe bets, from strong portfolios to strong communities, and from clean lines to clean energy.
This is not a book about how to run a firm or a profession; it doesn't predict the future of architectural form or aesthetics. It is a personal story-and in many ways a generational one: a story that follows its author on a winding detour across the country, around the profession, and into a new architectural reality.

- Always a great mealMartiniLvrVIPDined on 9/26/2014Four Seasons never fails to impress us with their seasonal market fresh menu items and their regular options like the dry aged NY strip with marrow or the lobster salad. The angolotti changes from time to time but is always absolutely delicious. Their recent addition of suckling pig offers 4 different tastes of pork from a decadent piece of blood sausage to a mouth watering pork belly. The fish offerings are always a nice alternative to steak, like the sea bass, Turbot or halibut. The appitizers are beautifully presented and fun to eat. I recently enjoyed the octopus terrine with tomato jam that blew me away. It's our go to spot for a romantic meal or just a quick dinner with our daughter as a nice ending to a day shopping Yorkdale.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Outstanding restaurantRobertBDined on 9/22/2014superb food and hospitality - high level cooking and service in the city in my opinionSpecial Features:
- Attention to detailolivercDined on 9/21/2014The overall experience was good and I would go back, but there were a couple of issues which could be solved easily by a little more attention to detail. For example, there were cherry pits in the salad, along with the pitted cherries. Additionally, the staff really didn't know what was on the menu well enough to answer some basic questions about the menu. One guessed and when we noticed his uncertainty he admitted he should check with the kitchen to find out; another said he didn't know the answer to another question since he was new to the job. We were surprised, due to Boulud's overall reputation and had been to two of his restaurants in NYC where these would never happen.Special Features:
- Quite a mediocre experienceOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 9/21/2014My friend and I went to Cafe Bolud for Sunday brunch, expecting a relatively tranquil atmosphere to enjoy a more special brunch in a restaurant run by Michelin starred chef. In brief, the poached eggs and yogurt parfait were more ordinary than any other neighborhood diner and similarly for the service.
- Sadly disappointed this timeBrunchloverDined on 9/21/2014This was our fourth Sunday brunch and we had bragged and had our friends join this time. What a mistake! The place was packed with big groups who were treating it as their living room--blocking aisles, loudly kibitzing and TONS of kids. There were even two strollers at the same nearby table with crying babies being walked around. Our first course came out and he got the placing all wrong. We had to literally wave down our waitress to order wine for our mains. No one checked in to see how our food was. No toilet paper in one washroom...It was "off" and I was embarassed. It's the Four Seasons for goodness sakes! Last time the waiter had holes in his pants! I expect better room control, reservation control for big groups and higher end service
- Excellent dining and great winesYYZfoodieDined on 9/20/2014Had a terrific celebratory meal last Saturday night. Sweatbreads and potato wrapped Sea Bass (just how do they wrap the potato around the bass??) and partner had seared foie gras and halibut. David's champagne is lovely and we had a great Bacheleder Pinot Noir from Nuits St George. A great room for celebration - modern and not stuffy.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Perfect dining experienceJdines14Dined on 9/20/2014My wife and I went for dinner to celebrate her birthday and everything was perfect--the food was excellent and all of the staff were terrific... Our waiter was especially noteworthy--we have eaten in some very high-end restaurants, but, he set a new standard of professionalism.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- LovelyDinnerfor2Dined on 9/18/2014It wasn't the best meal in Toronto, but it certainly was up there with the fit for foodies category.Special Features:
- Always greatMikeyGVIPDined on 9/18/2014The staff and the kitchen combine with Drew's sense of the wine seasons to provide a reliable and delightful dining experience every time. ThanksSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ZecaDined on 9/16/2014Just wonderful. The food was delicious and in fact it is a beautiful restaurant. The evening was most agreable. Thank you. Claudia AntonaccioSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- all-around fantastic experiencesoycristinaDined on 9/15/2014This is hands-down one of the best meals I've had all year. Everything we had –from the bread basket to the entrees to dessert– was excellent. Don't miss the potato-wrapped sea bass (or at least have someone at the table order it so you can try it). Great service and notable wine list, too.Special Features:
- Good food, service spottysammyVIPDined on 9/14/2014Went with a group of friends for brunch. The selection was good, but for what you got it was a little pricey and the service wasn't very attentive. I had the biscuits to start, which were NOT fluffy, they felt very Pillsbury and over-cooked but the egg omelette for my main was good. My friends had fruit and granola to start and french toast as a main, which looked good. It would've been nicer if they came by and filled up our juice and coffee, which they didn't often and when my friend asked for coffee it took a long time to bring milk and sugar. I would recommend for a nice brunch if you're willing to pay, but there are a lot of nice brunch spots downtown, so I probably won't be back again so soon.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fantastic!Pk13Dined on 9/13/2014Recently celebrated my 1 year wedding anniversary at Cafe Boulud. We ordered the tasting menu. It was a great experience. My husband and I were served a different dish in each course which only enhanced the dining experience. They also have a great brunch. Service was excellent.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Meets High ExpectationsPeterVIPDined on 9/13/2014Café Boulud continues to be excellent, and has become one of our few favourite restaurants. Expect good, creative food, good service and a pleasing dining atmosphere...you will not be disappointed.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/12/2014Very good experience all around. The only flaw was that the appetizer was rushed. We wanted to enjoy our pre-dinner drink, but were rushed when the appetizer came too quickly (we had asked for a bit of time). Not a big deal, however, in an overall very enjoyable evening.Special Features:
- Great late-night dinnerbrandcVIPDined on 9/11/2014Enjoyed a late dinner after attending TIFF movie. Green salad, seared foie gras and ravioli all delicious. Our server, Zack, was knowledgeable, attentive and a great conversationalist. Had a wonderful evening and lingered with some port and a complimentary cheese plate. We love Cafe Boulud and return often.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/9/2014Big disappointment. Nothing special. However great sommelier and terrific wait staff.Special Features:
- Disappointing experienceFoodieDined on 9/7/2014Salad dressing-too salty Lamb saddle - chewy Vegetable on the plate - over cooked and uninvited Service-robotic
- Wonderful brunchGlennaDined on 9/7/2014The menu was full of tempting dishes and it was difficult to choose. The food was delectable and the service was friendly and professional. This was our fourth visit for brunch and we enjoyed it as much as the first time.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good but can do bettersandyuDined on 9/7/2014It wasn't fully occupied on weekend. I made a reservation on 11:45am but I was 15 minutes late, I called them ahead and noticed them I will be there before 12:15 pm, hope they would hold the table for me. They replied that I was just wasting my time because there was another party coming 1.5 hours later, it's my own benefit to come on time. I was wrong that I'm late, but I think they can do something for me when they have so many empty places, such as delay our reservation. So I canceled exsiting one and made another reservation. Service is great but kinda slow. I requested twice to get my cream for coffee, and wait long to get refill coffee and water. Stuffs are so friendly and professional. Food is geart in such fancy place.Special Features:
- Gorgeous brunch at the Four SeasonsOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 9/7/2014Had a delicious lunch at the Four Seasons - it was $42 including coffee/tea and an extra $8 for dessert. I thought for what I had and unlimited coffee/tea, and for a 5 star hotel, it was good value. All the staff were very friendly, and the food top notch. Nex time I visit Toronto I would definitely have brunch at the Four Seasons.Special Features:
- Chef was amazingEssenguruDined on 9/4/2014We had the taster menu and my daughter and I thought it was amazing both for the flavour, but also that each of our tastings were completely different and inspired. Also we found the entire thing quite filling to the point of we couldn't finish the desert selections, which were amazing( a basket of profiteroles, chocolate lava cake & vanilla ice cream, grapefruit mousse. Amazing!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing place!GYJGDined on 8/29/2014My wife, my dqughter and I had a wonderful time in Café Boulud. Even though we used to live around there, we didn't know about that place. One of my friend recommended Café Boulud and we tried on Friday morning. Some of the hotel restaurnats are just fancy with poor quality of meals. However, our family enjoyed our meal at Café Boulud and the atmosphere was so friendly. My daughter was especially happy about the drawing and playing menu with crayons. The lady who guided us to our seats knows how to handle the kids and that really impressed us. Overall, we were very satisfied at Café Boulud and we are expecting to having a nice time again there.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Special 42nd Wedding AnniversarysomewhatdisappointedDined on 8/27/2014I have been to the restaurant a few times before. I usually like to go there for very special occasions. Menu always interesting and venue is casual elegant. However for this evening, there is not that wow factor. I think it was noisy from the bar downstairs and the table beside us and the service is mediocre and not attentive enough. Even at the end the coffee was sour and not fresh and had to be re-ordered.This I do not expect from a restaurant of this calibre so that was disappointing.Special Features:
- Rushed serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 8/23/2014Ordered the 7 course tasting menu..service was very rushed. Very limited details about courses etc
- Near perfectionTorontoGamblersVIPDined on 8/19/2014The service was unbelievable, attentive and friendly. I find in most high end restaurants management believes service should be pretentious to be good, I hate that. Everything was attended to with warm greetings and friendly smiles. The food was delicious, substantial and very well presented. We had the halibut and Sea bass, both were great. I'll 100% be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great food!torontofoodieDined on 8/19/2014The 5 course tasting menu was delicious with beautiful plating. The service was attentive and the place had a nice ambiance.Special Features:

- Daniel Does It AgainbobbarbaraVIPDined on 8/13/2014My wife and I are New Yorkers who make it our business to eat at all the Boulud restaurants in NYC whenever we can manage to afford it. This was our first time eating at Boulud's Toronto restaurant and we intend to do it again when we next visit Toronto . Viva Daniel Boulud !!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- not what I was expectingsandraDined on 8/12/2014We were there for summerlicious and it was GREAT Regular menu items were SMALL and my specialty dish of rabbit was also bland. Surprisingly the manager asked me if it had been TOO FLAVOURFUL?!Special Features:
- Date nightiqsterVIPDined on 8/9/2014My wife and I were able to sneak off for dinner and leave the kids with my sister. we decided to return to Cafe Boulud since i wouldn't have the hassle of parking downtown (they offer valet parking) and because the food/service was amazing the last time we had been there. this time was no exception. we got there for 930pm and we weren't rushed at all. very good service from Zachary. The food is sooo good.Special Features:
- Mz123Dined on 8/8/2014Perfect Service ...attentive but not in your face...just right with portions, spices and food temperature....freiendly staff from the hostess to servers to wait staff....and a nice touch on the anniversary plate!!!...Thank You to everyone!!!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Consistent ExcellenceFredDined on 8/6/2014That pretty much sums up the experience at Cafe Boulud. We have dined there several times and we are always delighted at the consistency and quality of the food, the service, the wine list and the experience. We will become regular patrons of this exceptional place.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Chefs tasting menu a must!!!2die4Dined on 8/6/2014My daughter and I both had the 5 course chefs menu. It changes everyday and we both had different meals, so we shared! Layers of flavours, perfect wine pairings per course, and informative, attentive service by Shea and the whole team start to finish! Just when we thought we were done, they brought hot lemon Madeline's to the table AFTER dessert. I can't believe we ate them all--but they were a perfect end to a delicious meal--a very enjoyable evening of memory making with my daughter! Thank you so much Cafe Boulud!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Heavenly!TravelingsistersDined on 8/5/2014Our experience at Cafe Boulud was nothing short of heavenly! We ran into traffic trouble and ended up being 30 minutes late for our reservation and there was no problem being seated on a Tuesday night. The service from Zachary was excellent and he made us feel welcomed. The food...the food...what can I say. We thought the salad was divine until the sea bass and halibut showed up! Perfection is the only way to describe both dishes. We had heard bad reviews about the ambience, but we thought it was funky yet quite lovely. Overall, it was a highlight of our week long Toronto vacation. Cafe Boulud will definitely be on our itinerary the next time we are in Toronto!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- creative and deliciousOpenTable Diner Since 2004VIPDined on 8/5/2014We ate here three times (2 dinners and a breakfast) while staying at the hotel and tried several different dishes, all of which were creative and well-executed. The service is excellent, and the servers were knowledgeable and personable as well as helpful with the menu and wine pairings. If you like grapefruit, that dessert is not to be missed.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A Perfect Steak.exploringthecityDined on 8/3/2014Great service, quiet environment on the second floor, with modern artwork and a pleasant dining experience. Duck egg and lobster salad appetizer were perfectly prepared. Steak was cooked to perfection with crispy pommes. Overall, a lovely experience at the Four Seasons Hotel.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Special eveningBuenprovechoDined on 8/1/2014Excellent staff + excellent food = a special evening. My father uses a walker and the staff were exceptionally helpful. Often older people get 2nd rate treatment but the server and sommelier were both fantastic.Special Features:
- Glacial serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2009VIPDined on 7/29/2014The food was, as usual, fine, but we waited one hour for our first course on a not-busy night. Then the mains were slow coming out, so much so that the waiter apologized for the kitchen. We were not amused; this was not at all the way we had been looked after on previous visits.
