A tour through Expulsion of the Triumphant Beast makes the listener wonder whether David Rothenberg (clarinet, bass clarinet and electronics) and Lewis Porter (piano and keyboard) challenged themselves to play in as many different styles as they could over the course of a dozen tunes.
Some of these tunes are beautiful duets: the tender, acoustic, "Lush Life"-like ballad that gives the album its name, marked by Rothenberg's alternately rueful and playful clarinet; the faithful cover of "Nature Boy," with Rothenberg stating the melody over Porter's chords, arpeggios, accents and other accoutrements, and then improvising wonderfully off the melody. Some tracks are marked by innovative twists on familiar genres: a straight-ahead version of Stephen Foster's hymn-like "Hard Times Come Again No More"; a slinky, funky tune called "Bennie M Is Back" (referencing bass clarinetist Bennie Maupin, no doubt), that is reminiscent of the Pink Panther theme, with electronic percussion added in for good measure; the cover of Ornette Coleman's "Lonely Woman" on which Rothenberg flutters his clarinet over a discordant piano vamp.
And then some tracks are just plain weird: a free-jazz exchange called "What I Remember From Jazz School" with a (probably overdubbed) synth line, and a bizarre take on Foster's bluesy "Massa's in the Cold, Cold Ground" that culminates with the two musicians using their instruments to make insect noises at each other.
So what do we make of this oddball effort from two jazz musicians, scholars, educators and authors? Easy: They are enjoying themselves. And so is the listener.

This commercial is part of a new campaign for Visit Las Vegas which I just love. It's one of a series of videos in which people are shunned by their friends for excessive tweeting and Facebook posting of their activities while in Las Vegas. The idea, of course, is that broadcasting updates from Sin City goes against the code of "What happens in Vegas, Stays in Vegas".
One of the spots includes an intervention where a group of friends encourage a social media addict to own up to his problems. They talk about how his actions have affected their own lives and promise that they'll help him get through the recovery process. The campaign got me thinking about the whole concept of oversharing on social media sites and how much that phrase is open to interpretation.
As someone who works fiercely to protect my privacy, oversharing for me encompasses a much wider net than it would for most people. I understand the importance of social media in our society and use it often for business but you will never see photos of my kids on the Internet or tales of how I partied with my girlfriends till 2 a.m. (assuming I would have the energy to do such a thing). When I tell people this, their reaction ranges from shock at my lack of social media savvy to begrudging agreement that it's a topic worth discussing to proclaiming that we luddites must band together to preserve the nostalgia of the good old days. Everyone has their own privacy threshold and that's okay. The brave new world enables us all to write our own rules, in theory anyway. One person's extremely inappropriate content is de rigueur for someone else.
My assumptions about oversharing were challenged recently when I had the opportunity to hear Jeff Jarvis speak at Third Tuesday Toronto. A veteran journalist, Jarvis is an associate professor at City College New York and an author who is frequently asked to comment on the role of social media. Jeff's latest book, Public Parts: How Sharing in the Digital Age Improves the Way We Work and Live, makes a case of increased "publicness" in our lives. An Internet optimist, Jarvis feels that if we become too obsessed with online privacy and protection of information, we will miss out on all the valuable opportunities offered by the social web. Fortune magazine's review of Public Parts says his book is "not so much a rallying cry for tweeting your breakfast choices and blogging your company financials as it is a field guide for how to navigate the Internet with optimism rather than fear"
His talk was provocative - he argues his point elegantly and deals with detractors swiftly. But, as I am an Internet pragmaticist rather than an Internet optimist, I found myself feeling squeamish at times, even when those around me were nodding and smiling in agreement. One of Jeff's boldest statements was, "if you think people are oversharing, maybe you're overlistening". I'm not sure what to make of this. On the one hand, it's quite simple - if you don't like what you see and don't embrace the new sharing, then turn off and tune out. On the other hand, can any of us with a significant number of pre-retirement years left really afford to tune out? Probably not. If we want to stay abreast of trends, feel current, promote our products and services and build our "personal brand", we have to "participate in the conversation" as they say. That opens us up to all manner of oversharing - friends who post daily photos of the fun they're having, colleagues who tweet their every movement, family members who broadcast compromising photos of us without our permission. And if you think breaking up with someone is hard, try telling a loved one that you think it would be better if they posted less updates on Facebook.
That said, I have a great capacity for self-preservation, so I will continue to explore the possibilities of the Internet, one of which is obviously the opportunity to share my musings on this blog. I have Public Parts on my bedside table and as soon as I finish No Bullshit Social Media, I'll get into it. I don't want to be left out of the loop after all.

2. The garden is still going strong, though our tomatoes are not ripening as quickly as they had been, and our cucumbers are down to once a week or so. I picked this carrot yesterday.
I think it is part Twi'lek or at least distantly related to Bib Fortuna. (Please, please, catch my Star Wars reference.)
4. Fall clothes... I need some jeans that fit. I found a great pair last September while thrifting, but my PP midsection is far from being ready for those... so I need to go out and find new ones. M promised me some shopping time soon, but I am not sure that the baby will let me go... I also am going to hunt down a cute trench coat, because we have enough chilly days that are not freezing that I am ready in find a nice cool weather jacket that will last and fit my varying sizes.
5. Guess who has been irritable, drooling, having trouble napping for long stretches and has two swollen bumps on his bottom gum?
6. Quiet time has been my saving grace these days. Even quiet time with T is awake is so so necessary. The rules for the non-nappers are: stay in your quiet time space and play quietly until I say you can get up... we may or may not milk two hours out of them most afternoons. T sleeps whenever he is tired still, but F (almost 3) sleeps habitually at 1:30pm or stays in her crib. If you have little kids who don't nap and don't do quiet time, I highly recommend it...
7. And check out this artsy shot. It cracks me up...

We have already written about Parisian authorities aspiration for making the city more clean and ecological. And it must be recognized many of their initiatives (Velib, Autolib, Cityscoot) were successful, and above all, convenient for residents and guests of Paris.
A next step of Parisian City Hall headed by Ann Hidalgo is the ban of operation for trucks and buses which are older 15 years in the city from the 1st of July, 2016.
But, authorities have not stopped on it and going on their struggle against pollution of the environment. It the short run, a new standard will be approved. This law bans all the cars over 19 years old in the city. Also until 2020 all diesel engine vehicles will be out the law.
Evidently, not everyone agrees with such innovations. For example, the owners of retro-cars started to worry. This group has got an exception – they may drive the cars on weekends without any risk of money fines.
Of course, opinions on this matter can be different, but as we think there is no more important and responsible thing than our children's health!
Let's make the planet clean!

The Elephant in the Locker Room: After Wilson's Hot Streak, Who's Sorry Now?
By Greg Wright
If you're reading this column, you most likely follow the Seahawks.
If you follow the Seahawks, you, um, most likely are also aware how dominating they have been the last three weeks.
So we really don't need to talk about that, do we? After all, just about every journalist across the country is now singing the praises of Carroll and Co., if reluctantly so. Even Pete Prisco is waxing eloquent… though he makes odd references to the "Wilson cult" and lobs most of his praise at Offensive Coordinator Darrell Bevell (!!!!).
So there are three basic fan reactions that seem prevalent right now.
- I Told You So. Maybe this is a correlate to the Wilson Cult, but there are always die-hard fans who feel vindicated when their team turns it around and starts fulfilling the promise of early-season blowhard braggadocio. I confess to a little of this reaction myself, and rationalize it by thinking, "But this isn't just fanboy glibness. I had good reasons for knowing they'd turn it around." And it's tempting to list those reasons, and right now. Still, such turnarounds are never a given. Just ask injury-plagued Baltimore. Separation may indeed be in the preparation, but separate a shoulder or two (or lose Gronk and Edelman unexpectedly) and you can just easily pull a late-season slide. So if you can say "I told you so," it's not because you've got magical insight; it's because your team is simply fortunate, if talented and well-coached.
- Yeah, but the Wheels Are About to Fall Off. On the flip side, there's the reluctance to be a believer because you just can't stand more of the Seattle Sports Disappointment Syndrome (SSDS). Sure, the Hawks are hot right now… but Wilson can't keep up the pace. Just wait until Okung or Lewis misses another game to injury. The D still can't cover tight ends. They could have re-signed Red Bryant to help bolster their D line while Dobbs and Hill recover. Rawls is no Marshawn. Bevell and Carroll are still living in denial over the Super Bowl loss, and it's eating into everyone's psyche. Etc., etc., etc… I get SSDS. I really do. All you have to do is summon the word "Mariners," and this frame of reference makes perfect sense. But here's a fact: every season is different. Every one. That means the possibility of success is always out there. And if you've got to believe in something, why not believe in hope?
- Enjoy the Ride. This is really where we are, and where most fans should live if they aren't already. The fact remains that the Seahawks have held a lead in every game since the 2012 season opened. This season, they have held a lead in the 4th Quarter of every game. We may not be witnessing a thrilling season like 2012, a dominating season like 2013, or a come-from-behind BeastQuake 2.0 magic NFC Title season like last year's, but this is still awfully good football. Even if the team falters and they somehow miss the playoffs this year, the Football Gods are kind to Seattle this decade. We are fortunate, very fortunate, to be Seahawk fans right now. Be realistic about the experience, and have fun with it!
Still, that's not really what I want to talk about today. No.
Today, I mourn the death of Real Print Sports Journalism. More specifically, I decry the shallowness of Seahawk coverage at the Tacoma News Tribune.
Even when Steve Rudman and Art Thiel (now running sportspressnw.com) were still active at the Seattle P-I and Steve Kelly was the go-to guy at the Times, the Tribune was the local paper turning out sports journalists of national acclaim.
If you follow local sports at all, you must know that "The Professor" John Clayton came out of the Tribune, where he covered sports from 1986 through his jump to ESPN in 1995. As of 2007, Clayton is essentially a member of the NFL's journalist hall of fame, having won the Dick McCann Memorial Award.
Heir to Clayton's throne at the Trib was Mike Sando, who covered the NFL for them until his own jump to ESPN in 2007. His beat coverage for the NFC West was the best thing around, and I started writing this column due to dearth of decent Seahawks coverage when ESPN reassigned Sando to another beat. (Apparently, he was just too good for the NFC West. What?) As a vested journalist of repute, Sando is a voter for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Even with Sando's departure from the Trib, the paper remained the best source of hybrid print/online Seahawks coverage. With the P-I's virtual demise and the shrinkage of the Times (and why is the Journal-American a non-entity in these conversations?), there are precious few column-inches of local, real NFL analysis of one of the hottest and most popular teams in the country.
But if you were going to find it, you'd find it at the Trib.
Up until a month ago.
That's when McGrath and Boling jumped the shark.
Take a look at these headlines from the aftermath of the Cardinals game:
That's right. Dethroned. Window slammed. White flag run up. Just rebuilding for next season. Yup.
Beyond all reason, and clearly beyond hope, the Tribune gave up on the Seahawks and wrote them off as a lost cause.
I suppose one might argue that the dire rhetoric was simply designed as a wakeup call to a middle-of-the-pack, underperforming team. But seriously–does anyone think Michael Bennett or Richard Sherman or Marshawn Lynch picks up a newspaper, reads a headline, and thinks, "Aw, shoot. Boling and McGrath are on to us! I guess we better start playing up to our contracts." Get real.
The Tribune completely lost my respect that week. Whatever happened to "On Any Given Sunday?" Whatever happened to real analysis that looks at coaching strategy, business limitations, and managerial objectives?
Whatever happened to simply saying, "I was wrong" instead of just blithely jumping back on the bandwagon?
Whatever happened to sports coverage that was actually about the sport, instead of about the personalities and the emotion?
Oh, wait. I know where it all went. It all went to the Brock and Salk show on ESPN 710.
So, after the last three victories, who's sorry now? Not, apparently, McGrath and Boling.
But the Tribune itself sure looks sorry.
Is it time for a letdown? I think not. And the Ravens are just in bad, bad shape. As I noted above, "Any Given Sunday" still applies. But this Sunday is not that Sunday.
Seattle 38, Baltimore 13.
After two Super Bowl appearances in a row, everyone's paying attention… yet even with all the scrutiny, it seems that there's always some key issue that's getting glossed over. It's the elephant in the locker room, if you will, and gosh darn if I'll let that ride. Join us on Saturday mornings for a little closer look at our NFC West Champions.

Change is the only constant and it happens gradually. Change is not digital at the click of button. It's process like the sunrise and sunset. It has to be experienced. This is with regard to nature. Ones with regards to social life are the changing environment in our life as an outcome of the good and bad decisions taken at home or the government. People react depending on their aspirations and personal benefits and when the masses happen to take the same decisions or ignore we see the impact. Few examples of such harsh reality are reservations based on caste system, illegal bangladeshis, ISIS and now we see Rohingya muslim in J & K. One constructive example of change is NaMo becoming PM in 2014. Congress failed to read the lines on the sands of time and always banked on poor voter turn out. On the contrary the voter percentage was extremely high and as its said rest is history.
People across the world have more or less similar problem of not being heard by the government or the society. Educated ones don't hit the road. They keep searching for solutions which are always peaceful and bound to be very very strong in terms of expression. Final decade of the 90's ushered in a lasting change for Media Industry in India. Educated ones did notice the change in the deliverable of MSM. Ones who found the narrative to suit them kept quiet andthose who found it to be misleading had to wait for a platform to express their opinion.
Kargil conflict is a defining moment for TV news Industry. 26/11/2008 brought about a sea change in us Indians in our response to acts of terror. World over Social Media has been making it's presence felt very slowly, but surely. While people were using facebook to share personal life, LinkedIn for career options, HI5 for some vulgar content, TWITTER stood for burning issues and quick responses. 140 characters are worth a million if chosen carefully. Many active users started sharing their Twitter content on facebook. We did not even realize when we had taken charge of what we wanted to consume as news /information. Unknowingly, instinctively, we started to reject certain so called celebrity personalities in our self proclaimed Mainstream Media. There were heated arguments on facebook within friends. This lead to research and connecting with experienced and learned profiles on Twitter. This is the stage we relegate this vaunted MSM to fringes of Information industry.
When did SM replace MSM very difficult to pin point the exact date time & place, yet it has transpired. But yes if someone checks the archieve from 2010 onward. That was the first stage of cracks in MSM. Second stage came in around 2014 when masses came out in support of NaMO and dug out facts to rebutt MSM . To make things simple for masses # HASHTAG used played a vital role.
Around 2012 WhatsApp added value to what was being discussed on social media. News started circulating the moment it happened. There is use and misuse. Results are out in the open for all to see.
How did the Social Media replace MSM & its Persons?
Use of morphed pictures by news traders and quick response by Right Wingers with facts is the key to MSM downfall. One major difference between Social Media and MSM is that SM users (right wingers) are ruthless and they speak with facts. Social Media is dependable and the selection of people that your read and follow has to be correct. At times there profiles who have changed their loyalty suddenly for reason best known to them has to be kept in mind. MSM too has realized the importance of social media and have started using it actively. This is where the main fight begins. Ones with contacts have filed false cases against the nationalists. Others have used hashtags to promote a personal agenda. But net net the winners are Right Wingers. They are not paid agents of anyone. They work selflessly and many a times get involved in healthy criticism of government even.
Is digital Media the ultimate weapon to destroy the conventional Media? Yes. But this is not the end of the road. A lot of innovation and experiments yet to happen. A lot of technology integration is possible to make already struggling MSM totally redundant. And that is the reason a lot of discarded individuals from conventional media have shifted their time and energies to social media. Social Media has point blank refused such entries but the syndicate of such news traders keep pushing their agendas.
The government now has to intervene. It has to get rid of the team running My Gov platform. They are good for nothing. The platform is extremely good but not user friendly. The team at My Gov is like congress party. Takes credit for all good things. Inviting select people for interaction with PM landed up creating more issues than motivation.
Interaction with Amit Shah was more of seminar and one way communication. Ideally such opportunities have to be used for knowledge sharing. The government has to be truthful in rewarding the right profiles. Dynasty works even today and BJP is no different. Ones who are on Twitter know who took charge of the social media campaign and My Gov and now. These people know no one can change them unless the party wants. They ignore the RW and never bother to address serious questions.
Government and the NaMo (as an individual) has to realize their success till now has happened because of selfless RW and it has a shelf life. There are some who have gone beyond basic support on SM. This set of people are spending money and running events, portals, seminars etc. If print, electronic and OOH can get government ads the why not propertiesin Digital space?
Legal issues are another worry. Government does not come in support of RWs. For how long will this continue. It is slipping sand. The change is happening. It has to be heard. Just Mann ki Baat and occasional pat on back will not work in the long run. RW have to be rewarded and hand picked just the way winners for other awards are identified (exclude Shri Sharad Pawar). These are the opinion makers of today and tomorrow. Some may become leaders and some may become a constructive opposition force to create problem for BJP ( Chanakya can happen in todays world). Don't hurt the nationalist.
Sharing basic data for consumption and food for thought. A serious research by team handling My Gov will be worth it for the government.
The way smart phone and internet connectivity is improving, citizens and government need to make optimum use of the opportunity. Use it for fun but best use is for improving life style, solutions and assisting people in surrounding.
NEWS plays a vital role. Share it sensibly and with accountability. NEWS is being created every second…. some news are turning point. This is the change.

COLUMBUS, Ohio The Ohio State women's soccer team was selected as an at-large team to the NCAA Tournament and will take on Hofstra Friday in a first-round game at Jeffrey Field on the campus of Penn State University. The host and No. 1 seed Nittany Lions meet Monmouth in the other opening round game.
"This is a fitting for our seniors," Lori Walker, Ohio State head coach, said. "Our seniors have emerged through a lot of adversity to get back to the NCAAs. That's the part we are really excited about."
Ohio State will be making its fourth NCAA appearance, all under the direction of Walker. The Buckeyes' previous appearances were in 2002-03-04. In 2004, three current seniors Lara Dickenmann, Keiana Mitchell and Carla Arbulu played on the team's wonderful run to the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament. The Buckeyes have missed the NCAA Tournament the past two years and getting back was a clear goal this year.
"I'm excited and I'm glad we made it," Dickenmann said. "I don't know much about Hofstra, but it doesn't matter because all four teams are going to be good. It has been a hard two years. They weren't easy. But we got better and we learned and we deserve this. We deserve to be in the tournament."
"This is an unbelievable feeling," Amanda Ball, one of three senior tri-captains along with Dickenmann and Mitchell, said. "I don't know how else to answer. What we've been through the last couple years [not making the tournament] has been hard. But we're on our way back up now."
The Buckeyes are 12-9-1 and are coming off a championship game appearance in the Big Ten Conference Tournament. The Buckeyes advanced to the championship game by defeating No. 4 seed Indiana in overtime, 2-1, in a quarterfinal contest and then stunning No. 1 Penn State in the semifinals in a game decided on penalty kicks, 5-4. The seniors showed the way.
"Our seniors have emerged through a lot of adversity," Walker said. "Carla Arbulu came through huge for us with the tying goal against Indiana.. Keiana played some of her best soccer of the year the first two games. Lara continues to always attract the attention of the other team. Amanda continues to give us good minutes and to be a leader. I like the way the seniors have come through for us."
Hofstra comes in to the NCAA Tournament at 17-3 overall on the year, setting a new school record for wins in a season. The Pride earned an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament with a 1-0 win over Virginia Commonwealth in the Colonial Athletic Association championship game on Sunday. Hofstra will be making its second trip to the NCAA Tournament after earning its first bid in 2005.
Five Big Ten teams made this year's NCAA Tournament. Indiana as well as Big Ten tournament champion Purdue and Illinois also made it out of the Big Ten.
"I think that getting five teams in shows the strength of the Big Ten Conference," Walker said. "All five teams have had big wins. I'm glad to see the committee respects the Big Ten."
2007 is the 15th season of women's soccer at Ohio State and this will be its fourth NCAA Tournament appearance.
Ohio State is 4-3 in its previous NCAAs.
Ohio State is 3-1 at home in NCAA games, 1-0 vs. teams on neutral sites and 0-2 against a host school.
Ohio State is 2-1 in the 1st round, 1-1 in the 2nd, 1-0 in the 3rd and 0-1 in Elite Eight games.
Senior tri-captain Lara Dickenmann had a goal and assist in 2004 vs. Bowling Green and an assist vs. Detroit. Keiana Mitchell a goal vs. Detroit, with Dickenmann picking up the assist.
Dickenmann and Mitchell are the only Buckeyes who have started in an NCAA Tournament game. Each started all four games for Ohio State in 2004. Carla Arbulu is the only other Buckeye with NCAA experience. She was a substitute in all four fo the 2004 games.

Shah Rukh Khan's Devdas is coming back. No, it is not being remade or being adapted into a series or something but the original version of the film will soon be re-released in 3D format. Yes, you read that right. According to a report in DNA, Sanjay Leena Bhansali, the director of the magnum opus, has confirmed the development.
"When I was finally convinced about the 3D version of Devdas, I wanted to make sure that every frame conveyed just the right proportions and dimensions. I realised that much of my film was originally shot with a lot of depth in the frames. That, in fact, made Devdas an ideal candidate for the 3D format," said the director. Well, this surely has made every Shah Rukh Khan, Madhuri Dixit and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan fans a reason to celebrate. Imagine, you would be able to experience every emotion on a higher scale now. Isn't that exciting?
A source told DNA, "The global reach of the format is very strong, thanks to the Hollywood super-hero films that are mostly created in 3D. With Devdas, we hope to crack the international 3D market that Baahubali missed, as it was not made in the format."
Meanwhile, the magical duo of Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Shah Rukh Khan would be coming back with a biopic on iconic poet Sahir Ludianvi. Apart from this, Shah Rukh is in news for his upcoming film Jab Harry Met Sejal, directed by Imtiaz Ali, while Sanjay Leela Bhansali is busy with his next project Padmavati, which stars Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh and Shahid Kapoor.

This document is official DWP guidance containing information that would be useful to those of you who have completed the Surinder Singh Route and are back in the UK and are having trouble convincing the DWP of your non-EU relative's rights to claim benefits and of your rights as a returning Brit to skip the Habitual Residence Test and claim benefits. The guidance is titled "DMG Volume 2, Chapter 7, Part 3". DMGs (Decision Makers' Guides) are DWP guidelines that DWP staff must adhere to.
In the case of non-EU relatives having trouble claiming benefits, refer the DWP staff member to DMG 072900 in the guidance, which importantly says this:
"Note: if certain conditions are met, family members of British citizens have the same EU law rights to reside as they would if they were a family member of another EEA state (see DMG 073254 et seq for full details of the conditions). Thus where the conditions are satisfied and the British citizen would fall within the terms of DMG 072800 1. and 2, if they were a national of another EEA state, their family members should be treated in the same way as a family member described in DMG 072800 3. As such they will not be a "person from abroad" for the purposes of IS, JSA(IB) and ESA(IR). Nor will they be a person treated as not in GB for the purposes of SPC."
What the above means is simply that if a British citizen has completed SS, then his non-EU relative should not be considered as a "person from abroad", meaning that they are entitled to benefits without even needing to satisfy the Habitual Residence Test. Note that an EEA Family Permit or Certificate of Application are not strictly necessary for benefits, because all that matters is that the British sponsor has satisfied the conditions in Regulation 9 of the Immigration (EEA) Regulations i.e. has completed SS. However, if you have an EEA Family Permit, you can tell the DWP staff member that an EEA FP in fact proves that the British sponsor met the conditions of DMG 073254 i.e. completed SS.
In the case of returning Brits being refused benefits because of the habitual residence test, refer the DWP staff member to DMG 071351 – 071353 in the guidance, which says this:
"Resuming previous residence
071351 A person with habitual residence in the CTA who exercised his right to freedom of movement under European law and then returns to resume his residence in the CTA may be habitually resident immediately on his return.
071352 A JSA(IB), IS, ESA(IR) or SPC claimant who
1. was previously habitually resident in the CTA and
2. moved to live and work in another Member State and
3. returns to resume the previous habitual residence
is habitually resident immediately on arrival in the CTA.
071353 In deciding whether the claimant is resuming previous residence the DM should take account of the length and continuity of the previous residence in the CTA, his employment history in the other Member State and whether the claimant has maintained sufficient links with the previous residence to be said to be resuming it rather than commencing a new period of residence.
Example 1
The claimant, a UK national, lived and worked in UK before moving to Germany where he worked for several years. He was made redundant and having failed to find work in Germany for three months he returned to the UK where he had family and friends. On claiming JSA(IB) he stated that his intention was to find work and remain permanently in the UK. JSA was awarded because he was resuming a previous habitual residence."

In this post I demonstrated using the Package Manager (NuGet) to install jQuery into your Website.
It's a different experience in Visual Studio 2010 / Visual Web Developer Express so I thought I'd provide another post that walks you through it.
Plus, there is a tiny gotcha that might case new developers pause.
First, fire up Visual Studio.
In this case, I'll be using Microsoft Visual Web Developer Express 2010 (The FREE Version) with Service Pack 1 (SP!) Installed.
If you are JUST getting started, install VWD Express 2010 via the Microsoft Web Platform Installer. You can read full instructions HERE.
After starting the IDE create a new Web Site.
NOTE: if you are using Visual Studio Pro or above you won't see "New Web Site" as an option on the start-up screen.
It's OK – just select File->New Web Site
Then select the Default "ASP.NET Web Site" template.
Once VWD has created your new web site, use the Visual Studio Menu to select :
Tools –> Library Package Manager –> Add Library Package Reference
By default you will see "pre installed" packages..
Click the accordion bar that says "Online".
In keeping with the previous post we will add jQuery to our site.
BUT WAIT you say ! jQuery is part of the default ASP.NET Web Site template already.
True – but it's not the most recent version. I always try to develop with the most recent version of jQuery.
Then when I go to deployment I modify my code to use pull jQuery and jQuery UI from the Microsoft CDN.
Note that in the "Online" section of the package navigator there are two sections.
- All
- NuGet Official package source
We need to select "All" so we can find the jQuery packages.
Then we enter jQuery in the search box (and hit enter)
jQuery is found and the details confirm for us that it's the latest version.
Now just click on "Install".
When install is complete you can close the package manager and go look at the effects in the Visual Studio Solution Explorer.
Note that the 1.5.1 version of jQuery is now installed.
Go ahead and delete the old 1.4.1 files.
But wait ! Where is the jquery-1.5.1-vsdoc.js file ?
the vsdoc file is specific to Visual Studio, so it makes sense that it's separate from the main jQuery package.
if we do a search in the package manager for .vsdoc you will see that there is a separate package for the jQuery 1.5.1 .vsdoc file.
However, if you try to install it (by clicking install) you get an "Operation Failed" error message.
The message is pretty complete. It tells us that the package requires the execution of a PowerShell and therefore we must install this package from the NuGet command shell.
Ok, lets do that now.
Use the Visual Studio Menu and select:
Tools –> Library Package Manager –> Package Manager Console
The Console will open at the bottom of the IDE
Next, we need to find the VSDOIC package that we want to install.
In the Package Manager Console enter the following command:
get-package –remote –filter vsdoc
This will return a list of uninstalled packages that contain the keyword "vsdoc"
Notice that several different versions were installed.
We want to install the latest available version (1.5.1)
We can install the latest with the command :
install-package jquery.vsdoc
We did not specify a version so the package manager will grab the latest.
After we execute the command the commend window informs us of the results of our action.
When successful, you will also see the jquery-1.5.1-vsdoc.js file in the Scripts folder of the solution explorer (you my need to refresh to see it)
Note, as you can see above, we can also install jQueryUI using the package manager.
The possible advantage of installing jQueryUI manually is that the jQueryUI download manage lets to configure the features and the theme that your download will contain.
Now that you are up and running with the Package Manager – Don't forget to explore all the other cool stuff you can find.

I am so irritated right now! I just found out that my commenting system was spamming a good chunk of everyones comments for the past 11 weeks! I had all these messages from friends and new followers, and even awards and features that I was completely unaware of.
I am so sorry! I had no idea. You all go to the trouble to read what I have to say and are kind enough to leave me a note but then your comment never registers. Boo! I really do try to respond to your comments but I had no idea about this problem.
If you happened to be one of the "slighted," I hope you forgive me :) I think the problem has been resolved. If you notice it not working, please email me so I can look into it.
I have been so busy with projects and new recipes. I am excited to start posting them! I hope you all have a great weekend! We are headed to Leavenworth. Leavenworth, Washington that is. It is a Bavarian village in the Cascade Mountains and one of our favorite getaways. This weekend is Oktoberfest and I hope to get some great photos to share with you from the festival.
Thanks everyone!

A word from our founder
"We live in a time where to have a life crammed to the hilt is considered a success story. But with all this pressure, so many of us have nowhere to go to meet and talk about it. Frazzled Cafe is about people coming together to share their stories, calmly sitting together, stating their case and feeling validated as a result. Feeling heard, to me, has always been half the cure."
Ruby Wax
The inspiration for Frazzled Cafe came from our founder and patron Ruby Wax's experiences during her best-selling book tours and theatre shows for Sane New World and A Mindfulness Guide for the Frazzled. Ruby encountered thousands of people who wanted to talk and feel connected and whenever Ruby asked an audience if they wanted to speak, they always did!
Ruby sensed a real need for a place where people could connect with peer-to-peer support to help cope with the overwhelming stresses of modern life. This is what motivated her to create Frazzled Cafe.
Frazzled Cafe meetings provide a 'talk-in' place where people who are feeling frazzled can meet fortnightly to talk and share their personal stories in a safe, anonymous and non-judgmental environment - a place where it's ok, to not be ok.
We are supported by Marks and Spencer who provide their café spaces in selected stores to host Frazzled Cafe meetings after hours, when the café is closed to the public but the store remains open. In some locations our meetings are also held in M&S in-store community rooms. Meetings typically last 90 minutes and have a regular facilitator to make sure everyone feels safe and has a chance to talk, if they want to.
Frazzled Cafe meetings are not about therapy. They provide a space where people can talk openly with others who understand how they are feeling, without worrying about judgement. What is said in the meetings stays in the meetings and there is no need to answer "fine" if asked "how are you?"
If you would like to be first to hear about new meeting locations and spaces available please sign up to our mailing list.

Travel Soy Candle - Lavender + Mint (120ml)
Travel Soy Candle - Lavender + Mint (120ml)
Hand blended and poured by us in our London studio. This candle contains the highest quality lavender and peppermint essential oils.
Calming lavender oil helps you relax and may help to ease insomnia, anxiety and headaches. Peppermint oil adds freshness and has mood elevating properties.
Unlike many leading luxury branded candles, Urbanology candles are 100% natural. Made with soy wax, they are blended at the perfect temperature with 100% natural essential oils (no artificial fragrance oils) and cotton wicks. No synthetic or chemical nasties in here!
Why do we use soy wax? Soy wax gives a much cleaner and longer burn - free from toxins and parabens. Soybeans are a renewable source of energy and, being biodegradable, they are kinder to the environment.
The candle sits in an amber glass jar and comes beautifully presented in a natural cotton Urbanology bag. The jar and lid can be reused when you're finished! Simply wash out with warm soapy water.
- Approximate burn time: 20 - 25 hours.
- Candle size: 6.5cm x 6cm.
- 120ml
Love your candle: maximise its burn time by keeping the wick trimmed to no more than 5mm.

On a far distant planet, Bella and Edward find love. A true love in a modern society that steps back into the recesses of time, where dominant males seek out submissive females to complete their households.
No vampires, but plenty of aliens. This story includes:
Edward/Bella, Carlisle/Esme, Jasper/Alice, Emmett/Rosalie, Marcus/Didyme and the majority of characters that are involved in the original series.
AU, in-cannon, lemons, E/B, A/J, R/E, C/E
Three years after "Crescent Moon" Renee Dwyer has come to an impasse in her personal life, Charlie Swan has come to a crossroad in his professional life and Nessie Cullen is a senior in high-school. She is also in love with a mortal, much to the worry of Renee. The Cullen family of vampires is, for the most part, indifferent to Nessie's affections for a boy. They are too busy dealing with their own worries. As the preeminent Coven of Vampires, they must decide to either take action against a threat to the doctrine that all vampires live under and by doing so put the family in harms way, or do nothing and watch as all hell breaks loose.
Bella and Edward's lives have been intertwined since they were born. When Edward and his parents wind up missing, Bella's world spirals out of control. What happens when she finds him years later?
What if Alice and Bella hadn't made it to Volterra in time? This is my idea what would have happened. Rated PG to be safe, violent themes mentioned. Enjoy!
A haunting love story told from Edward's point of view after he leaves Bella and learns of her death.
Wonderful banner by Mdealwithit! She is awesome sauce!
Isabella Swan and Edward Cullen were just strangers. Co-workers who had to exist in the same space. When Edward discovers their desires aren't so different they embark on a torrid affair. Soon Edward wants more than just there sexual relationship, Isabella accepts him as a sexual master but can they transcend into a real-life relationship?NC-17, BDSM themes and very dirtty! Told From E.P.O.V
Thank you casket4mytears for the awesome banner!
WARNING -- Rated NC-17: due to extreme language (used in place of most adjectives), forms of extreme violence (most of which is unnecessary to the plotline and used strictly for fun), explicit and graphic sexual activity (it's a phone sex company), and drug and alcohol use of underage characters (they are in all likelihood above age, but anyway).
This is an AU/OOC/Human Fanfic which uses extremely vulgar language and revolves around the phone sex industry. There are abundant adult situations that have the potential for the kind of lemons that could easily burn out your eyes -- not in a good way.
If you have stumbled upon this story because you are familiar with my previous Post-Breaking Dawn fanfics (Lunar Phases & Reverse Polarity) please know right off the bat that this is nothing like those stories, and it will probably shock and appall you that I am writing this. It's better if you don't continue.
Speeding, theft, hacking, B&Es, fighting, reckless endangerment… all result in Bella Swan being sent to C.A.R.E., aka: the Cullen Adolescent Rehabilitation Establishment. Enough said right? When rebelling goes too far, there is nothing else you can do but face the consequenses.
Who knew that being punished could turn out to be a good thing with surprising results. Ones that give Bella everything she never had and a few things she never knew she wanted
Isolated and unable to open up to people, Dr Jasper Whitlock finds himself in Forks, WA, taking on yet another temporary teaching position at a boarding school. He meets the enigmatic yet troubled music teacher Edward Cullen and his group of friends and family. Will they be enough to teach Jasper to live again? To love?
Pairings to eventually include: JxE, JxExB, EmxR, CxEsme, Ax?
Bella and Emmett are huge movie stars and life long friends. Bella's life is thrown into chaos when their movie set becomes plagued with accidents that are aimed at her. She finds herself falling for Edward, who saved her from the first accident. Is her new savior, Edward, really trying to save her? Or could he be behind the accidents?
Bella Swan breaks free from her mother's influence and is desperateto prove her music blog speaks for her generation. Edward Cullen is an Irishpunk rocker with a dark past. When they collide, nothing will ever be thesame. AH, OOC.
It was a choice I faced every time I watched her. Leave or pounce?
Written for the quickie contest: A snapshot, a moment in time, a short story in <500 words.
How does Carlisle control a coven full of strong willed males? A new take on coven dynamics. It's possible. Originally meant to be a oneshot, it has turned into a series of oneshots. I will add more if I can come up with creative ideas including how dominant/submissive behaviors affect Edward and Bella.
These oneshots are primarily SLASH, but will include hetro couplings.
A reviewer described this as a National Geographic look at vampire covens. That's about right.
All canon couples. ;o)
WARNING: contains mature themes, sexual domination, violence and graphic sexual acts. Please don't read if this offends you.
Thank you annamorphos for this stunning banner!

Jasper, a guitar, soft music by the light of a campfire. What's his favourite tune?
Banner by the amazing FrozenSoldier.
After her parents are killed in a plane crash, a young girl is rejected again & again by foster families for being too old. She wishes on a star nightly, but will she find what she seeks? Will the Cullens be that family?
NC-17 for later chapters. Warning" Violence, and sexual aggresion may be part of this story.
Winning Summary:
"I wish I may, I wish I might, have the wish I make tonight." With that one hope Isabella Swan faces life as best as she can. The tragedy of her parents' death, leaves her alone in a system where her age leaves her undesirable for adoption. That is until one day two people come into her life offering her a chance at hope. The Cullen family takes to Bella like a long lost sister. What happens when Bella is taken from the Cullens by a lost relative? Will Bella's hopes be destroyed? What happens when fate steps in years later to reunite Bella with the one's she loved and who loved her so long ago?
Bella knew what she would say, "Don't you want to be my sister?"
Thanks to Mrs C for the above Banner and my beta readergoof for the below Banner!
Thanks to Sleforever for below banner!
At one point everyone in Biloxi knew about Mary Alice Brandon...this is the story of the human girl Alice Cullen used to be.
A long overdue trip back home turns into something unexpected for Bella Swan, Hollywood's It Girl. Finally, the tireless PA Alice is able to get her best friend and boss to get some much needed rest and relaxation. Well, as much relaxation as one can get between hospital visits. And what does Alice's wickedly handsome surgeon of a brother have to do with things?
Wiccan cousins Bella, Alice, and Rose have sensed a dark force moving into Forks. Will they defeat it before it's too late? And how will the mysterious Cullen brothers help them?

What if Jacob didn't see Renesmee right after she was born? What if he and Leah left town together instead? What if he came back five years later? What if the first time Jacob sees Renesmee, she looks sixteen, and he doesn't know who she really is?
This story picks up in Chapter 26 of Breaking Dawn with one small change. Jacob doesn't imprint on newborn Renesmee. Instead, he leaves town. When he finally returns for Charlie's wedding to Sue Clearwater five years later, things are very different between the Cullens and the Wolfpack. How will Jacob fit in with the Cullen family now, and should we be worried about the Volturi?
From the moment they met, their eyes, their shared smile, it had always been enough. She'd offered her hand, he'd taken it and they left together, their future was set. They would always be together.
Entry for the Not What It Seems contest.
Gorgeous banner by FrozenSoldier. Bricks with love for her!
Princess Alice has spent her entire life in the shadow of her beautiful older sister, Rosalie. When a mysterious new prince shows himself in their court, Alice is shocked when he only has eyes for her. Jasper is determined to win Alice's heart, but she is cautious and afraid to give her love to him. When she discovers that their love is more forbidden than she thought, she has to decide if she's willing to fight for him. Is it finally Alice's turn to live out her love story? Can Jasper give her the fairytale she deserves?

I don't know why my mind is warped this way. First, limericks and now, Dr. Seuss…
For those of you out there who are librarians, teachers, or simply fans of Dr. Seuss… This notion came to me as I realized that Dr. Seuss's birthday was coming up very soon – March 2nd. At the time of writing this note, I don't know if this … whatever this is… will be finished in time for the good Doctor's birthday, but whenever it is finished, I will go ahead and submit it. This is not the first time I've chosen to honor Dr. Seuss by emulating his writing :)

Jasper lives a lonely existence, but don't feel bad for him, he wants it this way. The more he keeps people away, the easier his life will be. Can a chance meeting at a bar change all of that & heal the wounds of the past? AH/OOC Rated NC-17 for swearing and lemony goodness! ;D

Geeky Bella has a theory. She suspects that popular Edward Cullen is not who he claims to be. Being one not to let things go, she decides to investigate. Are her crazy speculations true or will she be left feeling foolish? Most importantly, how far is she willing to go to prove herself accurate? OOC

We teach our customers how to teach themselves
The internet is teeming with innovation. We serve as guides through the wilderness. A thirty minute primer is usually a great start.
How do we teach?
We tutor over the phone using a program called Teamviewer, which we will help you install on your computer for use during our sessions. For the duration of the tutoring, Teamviewer allows us to see your screen and 'commandeer' the mouse and keyboard to show you things click-by-click. It's a great way for us to help customers over the phone because it's more "hands on." We recommend customers keep a running list of questions handy and then call in.
Tutoring Examples
If there's something you'd like to learn more about you're not finding here give us a call! We tailor lessons that specifically respond to your interests.
Internet Search
Internet Security
Music Services
Windows 7
Windows 8
Network Basics
Tutoring Method
Everyone learns differently. When it comes to the subject matter and pace of the session, we take our queues from you. We also teach you how to teach yourself by emphasizing the power of Internet search, which is the path that leads to all places. Understanding how to use search functions in search engines (Google or Bing) is very powerful and can help you get right to what you're looking for. That way, instead of getting stuck, you can using the right search terms to find the resource you're looking for and get on your way to the immense resources available for those interested in learning, from YouTube videos to Wikipedia, blogs and websites.
Sometimes, though, you get really stuck, so even after we provide a good foundation you may end up with a list of questions you'd like answers to. As always, we're but a phone call away.
For more information about computer tutoring, training or just getting some tips to wrap your mind around something give us a call at 541-385-8532.

I think we are starting to thaw out after all the snow that was dumped on us a few days ago :) I can't speak for everyone, but I sure am ready for spring! Today I'm sharing a couple of layouts with you that I did using Echo Parks Photo Freedom Volume 1 Collection. This was my first try at the formatted pages, let me tell I am HOOKED!!! I just love that it is so easy to work with. You can either put a few pictures in or you can really load up. I chose only a few, because I had to leave room to have fun creating :) I used my Cameo Silhouette and a couple of cut files. Here are the cut files that I used Love Life Cards, Always Remember and Smile on the Silhouette website. I used a glassine bag from SRM and loaded it with confetti that I had punched out along with some square sequins I had in my stash. I put the heart life card I cut on top of the glassine bag and sewed it shut. I used some wood veneers from Studio Calico, My Minds Eye washi tape and just some sequins I had in my stash. I really liked using the black and white photos with all the pops of color. I will absolutely be doing more or these formatted scrapbook pages in the future!
Now for this second layout I used MME and Pebbles washi tape, SC wood veneers, sequins and a few more cut files on my Cameo. Circle Hearts, Love and Family Word Tag
Now for my final project with this collection, I made a card. A dark gray card stock as my base. I layered a few of the cut out pieces. Then I cut a banner with my Cameo, here is the cut file Banner and of course I finished it off with some SC wood veneers.
Can you believe it, not a single piece distressed or inked!!! I truly love all styles, but my heart is still vintage. Thanks for looking :)

World's First Social Entrepreneurship Platform Moms Avenue Challenges Etsy by Gearing Up With Blockchain
Moms Avenue is aiming to be the leading blockchain platform for women entrepreneurship.
Oct 23, 2017, 10:45 ET
VILNIUS, Lithuania, Oct. 23, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Moms Avenue is the first reward-based social entrepreneurship platform designed for moms. Think about it as moms community, entrepreneurship lessons and turbo Etsy merged and powered by blockchain. The ambitious goal is to empower millions of women around the world to start, grow and scale their businesses.
The company has announced its Pre-ICO upcoming in 2017 Q4.
As the world is at the doorstep of the blockchain disruption we're still tackling the gender inequality and the lack of women participation in entrepreneurship and the crypto economy. There are two challenges for women to overcome - gender gap is closing yet too slow (37 percent of business owners are women); there are only 4 percent of women active in crypto markets (Coin Dance, 2017).
Moms Avenue combines cutting-edge technology and an innovative reward-based business model to tap into the potential of female entrepreneurship and engage women into a blockchain-based market.
Moms Avenue will follow the social entrepreneurship concept with a plan to improve Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) with Smart contracts. Compared to standard DAO, it will be oriented not only in decision making but also in community growth and profit re-investment. Thus, an entirely new social entrepreneurship concept will be created on Blockchain.
Evelina Bajorune, a mom of a lovely little daughter, came up with the idea of Moms Avenue. An active woman and an experienced Project Manager envisioned a place where moms could get rid of their fears, and get professional support and guidance to kick off their own businesses.
The CEO and founder of Moms Avenue says:
'How many times have you thought of your own business and got scared? Too risky? Scared of failure? Don't have enough money to start? These thoughts are common to all moms who may be risk-averse as they carry the responsibility not only for themselves but their little ones as well. The solution Moms Avenue is proposing will allow you to turn your hobby into a successful and profitable business and not risk anything at all. On the contrary, it will provide a possibility to receive the support and guidance from experienced entrepreneurs, find partners for your business, share ideas, get most of the benefit from vibrant and robust community and get rewarded.'
Evelina continues:
'This platform is going to be useful not only for moms who aim to start their own businesses but also to anyone who would like to buy unique handcrafted goods. Etsy was created to sell handmade or vintage items, but now it has become a place for mass production and poor quality stuff. Last year consumers spent $34 billion, on general crafts, fine arts, jewelry and bead crafts in the U.S. Etsy's annual gross merchandise sales grew to $2.39 billion, and its number of active sellers reached 1.56 million. Moms Avenue will be the innovative solution to enter into this market ensuring high-quality content driven by its community.'
Moms Avenue will create M.O.M. token in Ethereum ecosystem and develop a transparent Blockchain-based reward system. M.O.M. tokens will flow among different category users of the platform, such as sellers, buyers, employers, entrepreneurship teachers and learners, freelancers, various services providers, and others. The Moms Avenue platform will employ Decentralized Autonomous Organization, Token Wallet, Virtual Utility Tokens, and Payments to one user-friendly solution.
The team is currently preparing for its upcoming Pre-ICO later this year. The latest Blockchain technologies, creative solutions, passionate team and a successful Pre-ICO event will guarantee a realization of a revolutionary Moms Avenue platform.

I thought I should start a thread for the original Wally. I am in the midst changing out the filament drive to my new design and printing a new XY UBIS MOUNT ARM. (I flipped the orientation that it prints, added kossel mount like GUS, integrated washer, and flipped the nut traps to the other side. I would have pictures if my printer didn't have a tangle in the middle of the spool. Reprinting now.)
Here are some filament drive pictures.
After this, I have some software changes and some calibration fixes that I am anxious to verify. I hope to get Wally up to snuff.

Take a look at this website. They have a Doors album that has a Morrison that looks fake. It's selling rather cheap. Yet this guy has been doing a lot of business successfully online. And read what it says about the people that authenticate his stuff. Intriguing. Anybody do business here, or opinions on it: http://www.radziwill.us/
Views: 589
Ask Kevin Conway about this guy. Post a comment on his profile and ask him to join in. He has a lot to tell you.
I think his brand of scam is pretty common. Tout credentials that you may or may not have and then use that and your facade of professionalism as a smoke screen.

I think breakfast is the key.
People say that it's the most important meal of the day and I totally agree. Why? In my world, breakfast can make or break my day.
If I eat a breakfast of yogurt and fruit, or oatmeal, or a smoothie, I do a much better job of making healthy meal choices the rest of the day. If I eat a breakfast of biscuits and gravy…well…all rational decisions are out the window.
I went to breakfast in the cafeteria with some coworkers. The yellow stuff in the left corner is tofu. This fact does not make the biscuits and gravy more virtuous.
I wasn't hungry at lunch and decided just to skip and work straight through. But around 1:30 I had to just get out of my office, so I headed over to the bakery for a Diet Coke. When I walked in, Unk C said, "I just pulled this batch of bagels out of the oven." I couldn't resist and I ate a bagel for lunch. And a Diet Coke.
Most Wednesdays find us at spaghetti night. There was also a salad in addition to this plate of carbs and that was the only vegetable product that I ate today.
For shame.
And because the day felt wasted as it was, cookies from a bag. From a bag!
I've sunk to a new low. And I blame it all on the biscuits and gravy.
Tomorrow is another day.

Amid all the talk of the "devaluation" of the FA Cup (and it should go without saying that we should all wish an eternal curse on that rogue organisation, the Premier League, for seeking to undermine further it by scheduling a round of matches on the day of the FA Cup final – how difficult would it have been for them to play them tomorrow?), one of the traditions – of a sort – that has faded into the background in recent years has been that of the Cup Final song. This year thus far, Manchester City seem to have managed two – one recorded by a busker and the other by a happy rastafarian – whilst Stoke City have retaliated with, well, whatever this is.
There doesn't seem to be much of an official link with the clubs any more, though, which is something of a shame. After all, who amongst us hasn't sat watching Manchester City and thought, "I wonder what Mario Balotelli's singing voice sounds like?", or, "I wonder if there's anything in those rumours that Joe Hart is an accomplished banjo player?". We will probably never find out, though, because it is now largely left to the supporters to do it for them. It doesn't seem unreasonable to make the assumption that the players themselves may be of the opinion that this sort of thing may be beneath them, whilst the clubs are keeping themselves busy with this sort of thing (although it's difficult not to admire Manchester City's chutzpah in not taking said article down after the kerfuffle it caused).
There was a time, though, when the FA Cup Finals traditions seemed to be set in stone. Communal singing had been a feature of the day since the 1920s, and the residue of this is still on display to this day in the form of the Cup Final hymn, "Abide With Me", which was first sung before the 1927 final between Arsenal and Cardiff City (and the words for which – only the first and last verses will be sung today – are available, should you wish to learn them, here). Where, though, do we apportion the blame for the crimes against that music that were subsequently to be committed to vinyl? The answer probably lies with the 1970 England World Cup squad and "Back Home", which, to remind all of you of the opinion that the late 1960s and early 1970s was a world full of people dressed like Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin, went to number one for two weeks and, according to this, was still being purchased by somebody two months after England were knocked out of the competition. Since then, the Cup Final song has become of the vocabulary of the day and the tournament itself, and here's six of the… well, here's six of them.
1975: West Ham United – I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles: A popular song written at the end of the First World War, it has been said that this song was first heard at The Boleyn Ground when sung by supporters of Swansea Town (now, of course, Swansea City) at an FA Cup match between the two sides in January 1921.
1981: Tottenham Hotspur – Ossie's Dream: In 1981, North London pub singalong duo Chas & Dave were big business and, as supporters of Spurs, were natural choices for the club's song for the 1981 FA Cup Final against Manchester City. Osvaldo Ardiles had played in the World Cup final three years earlier and his decision to move to North London in the summer of that year was something of a surprise, considering that Spurs had only just been promoted after a year in the Second Division. Whether it was actually his "dream" to play in an FA Cup final or not has never been conclusively answered.
1988: Liverpool – The Anfield Rap: Possibly the absolute low in the entire history of music, never mind the mere sub-genre of FA Cup Final songs, Anfield Rap features John Barnes making an even worse job of rapping than he did on "World In Motion", the never-to-be-forgotten sound of Bruce Grobbelaar rapping in a syrup-thick Zimbabwean accent and snatches of Bill Shankly hamming it up for the media whilst in his pomp, all set to the demo version of the theme music to "The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air".
1995: Everton – All Together Now: Perhaps "Anfield Rap" was the beginning of the end of footballers getting involved – or wanting to get involved – in Cup Final songs. By the time that Everton reached the 1995 FA Cup final against Manchester United, former scallies The Farm were on board to re-record a version of their song "All Together Now" (itself based on Pachalbel's Canon in D major) and the team is nowhere to be heard, although the dulcet tones of Alan Green can be heard.
1997: Middlesbrough – Let's Dance: There have been several different songs called Let's Dance over the years, and this one, was a reworking of – try to keep the sick down if possible – the Chris Rea version. It was fronted by the comedian (and Middlesbrough supporter) Bob Mortimer, and features, pleasingly, a slightly uncomfortable looking squad singing into microphones, although they seem to be enjoying themselves. Note also the inventive spelling of Curtis Fleming's surname towards the start of the video.
1997: Chelsea – Blue Day: In 1997, it was a very different Chelsea to now. With a clear nod to the previous year's "Three Lions", Suggs led the team through a strangely maudlin (considering everything that has happened since) song with a curiously irritating, "Chelsea Chelsea!" chorus. It seems difficult to imagine Didier Drogba getting involved in something like this.
