Detective Sergeant Cathal "Paddy" Breen of the Metropolitan CID (Marylebone Police Station, London) can't seem to avoid disaster whether he's rescuing a cat from a tree, investigating a crime scene or chasing a bad guy. To his aid rides Helen Tozer, a Woman Police Constable who wants to do more than fetch tea and biscuits for her male counterparts.
The introverted Paddy dabbles in art, rendering accurate sketches from memory. He methodically covers the floor of his apartment with scraps of paper—clues representing the puzzle-pieces of his murder inquiries. His mind shuffles snippets until, hopefully, a pattern emerges. He was born before WWII and fits well with the older generation and their methods of operation.
Although only a few years younger, as a post war baby boomer, Tozer stands on the opposite side of the canyon known as "the generation gap" from Paddy Breen. The more intuitive and "with-it" Helen, a farm-girl from Devon, belongs to the Beatles Fan Club, plays a guitar and likes to drink. She calls Paddy, not Cathal, but "Careful Breen," because he rarely tempts fortune, letting misfortune come to him, and come it does. Paddy's "old school" perspective blocks his access to witnesses, after a nanny and her charges find the murdered body of a Beetles fan, whereas Helen speaks their language and earns their cooperation.
A Book of Scars begins with the injured Paddy convalescing at the Tozer farm in Devon. Bored out of his mind, he looks for a case to solve, a cold case, such as the brutal death of Alexandra, Helen's sister. He finds the coroner's report that describes the horrible nature of Alex's unsolved murder. The report spurs Breen and Tozer to track down the sadistic killer and determine the killer's motivation, especially when it seems that the same horrible death awaits others.
A Book of Scars begins as a murder-mystery, but it dips into the horror genre. Although, it serves up generous portions of "who done it" suspense with a full slate of suspects, the heavy handed violence in Africa, the Biafra/Nigerian War, the Mau Mau uprising in Kenya and the dark side of the drug trade between Europe and North Africa spill over into the character's lives and the story lines.
As witnesses to local examples of this unthinkable violence, Breen and Tozer realize that methods justified elsewhere during an "emergency," have returned home with the ousted colonials to terrify their inventors. The novel includes descriptions of brutal torture. Unfortunately, these savage acts are based on actual testimony of victims of similar atrocities—atrocities committed with a wink and a nod from the colonial authorities.
Despite the grim aspects of the final volume, trilogy fans will enjoy the progress in Breen and Tozer's personal relationship. A Book of Scars opens more doors than it closes, raising hopes that William Shaw turns the trilogy into a much longer series. He has almost fifty Paddy and Helen years in which to weave a lifetime of sequels for enjoyment of his readers.
The US titles for the first two volumes in the Breen and Tozer Trilogy are She's Leaving Home and The Kings of London. The final volume, not readily available in the USA goes by the UK title, A Book of Scars.

When not to dispose SharePoint objects
Whenever you create a new instance of the SPSite and SPWeb objects you need to make sure that these objects are disposed of properly when the are no longer needed.
However there are situations when you don need to (actually you mustn't) dispose these objects. It is not a well documented area of sharepoint, the SPDisposeCheck tool also doesn't fully cover these cases. In general it is true that you mustn't dispose of the context and parent site or web objects.
So you mustn't dispose the following objects:
(not a working example, just for demonstration…)
//demo objects SPSite site; SPWeb web; SPList list; SPListItem li; SPListEventProperties propList; SPFeatureReceiverProperties propFeature; SPWebEventProperties propWeb; SPItemEventProperties propItem; //don't dispose this object object o; // Current or parent Web o = SPControl.GetContextWeb(null); o = SPContext.Current.Web ; o = site.RootWeb; o = web.ParentWeb; o = list.ParentWeb; o = li.Web; o = propList.Web; o = propList.List.ParentWeb; o = propWeb.Web; o = propItem.ListItem.Web; // Current or parent site o = SPControl.GetContextSite(null); o = SPContext.Current.Site; o = web.Site; // Parent site or web or farm o = propFeature.Feature.Parent;

-Sailor's Delight
It was a cloudy evening. That's always the first thing I remember. A cloudy evening after school got out. It was spring and the Japanese water beetles had started coming out in swarms. It had been a rough day for me and I feared that it would only get worse. Sitting in the dining room while my little brother was in the living room watching Curious George on PBS Kids. I felt numb. The world around me turned into a black and white haze and I couldn't feel my limbs. I couldn't hear my brother laughing as the man in the yellow hat stepped in his soaked slippers. I couldn't see where I was and my ears rang. My heart hurt immensely and it felt like someone had taken a shovel and pounded it into my chest. My throat was impossibly tight and it was hard to hold back tears. I could now hear the ending theme of my brother's show and hurried footsteps towards me. I stood, wiped my face, and took a shaky step forward to greet the bubbling ball of energy that was my brother.
He turned the corner and looked up at me with this innocent look in his eyes. I looked down at him and asked,"Is your show over?" He nodded silently and I asked if he wanted to do anything. He responded by taking my arm in his tiny hands and dragged me to one of the chairs. He pointed t the chair and told me to sit down 'criss-cross-applesauce'. I did, and he climbed into my lap, sat down on my legs, and hugged me as I looked out the window. He looked up with his arms still around my torso and asked me how my day went. I said," It was good." he responded with a simple word. "Liar." I chuckled. How was he the most gullible person alive when it came to pranks yet he could always tell when I had a bad day?
We sat there as I told him about my classes and he listened well until I brought up a topic that we talked about in Geography. Desert Storm/Shield. He looked at me with his eyebrows furrowed (cute little bugger) and asked me a simple question.
"What's a shield?"
I looked at him confused. He watched shows with shields and swords all the time, they never explained it? I responded with what I knew would get his attention, a story.
"There was once a little boy who loved to play and sing. He would play with his friends at school and sing with his family whenever he felt like it. One day at school, he saw a small girl being picked on by a group of tall boys. The girl was a grade younger than him and the boys were older than him by two years. He didn't like what was happening so he ran up to the girl, stood in front of her and glared at the boys silently. The group of boys laughed as the tallest one took a swing at the young boy. The hit never made its mark. The boy caught the fist, pushed back, and brought it to the taller boys back with impressive strength. The group of boys grew scared and the girl looked on with both awe and fear.
The leader of the group, the one with his arm behind his back, pleaded with the boy to let go, promising that they would stay away from the girl. The boy smiled, and let go, dusting off his hands before grabbing the girl's arm and running to one of the wooden benches. They talked and became the best of friends. From that day on, the boy protected the girl from bullies and the cruel torment from their schoolmates. The boy became known as Shield while the girl became Knight. For the shield would always protect its knight from the evil dragons."
"So, a shield is a person who protects someone? Like you protect me?" I nodded while a smile graced my face. "So would I be a knight?" I nodded once more. He looked up at me like he was sentenced to death.
" Does that mean I have to kill my stuffed dragons?"

Yes, you really do need a bike helmet. Even mild concussions can cause lasting brain damage, new study finds.
Published: July 19, 2014 06:00 AM
When I learned how to ride a bike in the early 1960s, the only accessories we considered were a basket, a bell, and, if I had saved up enough money, a speedometer. A helmet? Hardly. They weren't even made until the 70s. More than a few times I took a header over the handlebars. And a study out this week emphasizes just how lucky I was to not hit my noggin—and how important a properly fitted bike helmet can be.
British researchers looked at 53 people 16 to 68 years old who had recently been to an emergency room after suffering a mild (44 people) or moderate (9 people) concussion. All had an MRI of their brain within an average of 6 days of their injury. The scans showed signs of damage to nerve cells in the brain responsible for transmitting information, compared with a group of 33 people without brain injury who also had MRIs. The injured people also performed 25 percent worse, on average, in a "verbal letter influency" test, which evaluates thinking and memory skills by seeing how many words one can think of that begin with the same letter. A year letter, people with brain injury showed improved cognitive function, comparable to the uninjured group—but still had signs of damaged brain cells. The study was published in the journal Neurology.
Read more about the importance of wearing a helmet while bicycling or engaged in other recreational activities. If you are in the market for a bike helmet, read our bike helmet buying guide. And watch our video below to see how we test bike helmets.
A decade ago, the national Centers for Disease Control and Prevention called mild traumatic brain injury a silent epidemic. Since then, awareness of the problem has grown, as shown by President Obama's support earlier this summer for more research on brain injuries in teens from sports, and the increased concern about concussions in football. But 2 million to 4 million people each year still suffer concussions from recreational activities, according to the American Academy of Neurology. "The scientific evidence continues to mount regarding the effects of concussion," Orly Avitzur, M.D., a practicing neurologist and medical adviser to Consumer Reports and the New York Rangers, said. "This study should serve as yet another wake up call to athletes, trainers, coaches, and parents of young athletes. It's also another good reason to remember to wear a helmet when riding a bike, skiing, or horseback riding."

Seven out of 10 North Koreans are believed to have insufficient food, a South Korean aid group said, citing the communist nation's distribution offices.
The Seoul-based Good Friends aid agency said there are concerns among midlevel North Korean officials that residents of cities who do not receive regular wages or rations and have no arable land could begin to starve, adding that farmers also have had food shortages since last month.
"Massive deaths caused by starvation do not occur, but malnutrition is worsening, resulting in some deaths," the group said in a regular newsletter.
It declined to give details of where it obtained the information. However, many of its previous reports of what was happening inside isolated North Korea have later been confirmed.
Food shortages were exacerbated by massive floods last summer and South Korea's suspension of food aid to protest North Korea's missile tests in July, according to the New York-based group Human Rights Watch.

The Butch Harmon School of Golf in Rio Secco, Nev., is in equal measure a world-class teaching facility and a colorful shrine that commemorates some of the most iconic moments in golf over the past 30 years.
Amongst all of the autographed portraits of Harmon's most famous pupils, the vintage staff bags and golf equipment, a compilation of press clippings and magazine covers, rare out-of-print golf books and other memorabilia very few have seen in person, lies a simple black and white sign that proclaims: GOLFERS ARE ATHLETES.
It's not exactly a revelation, but I don't ever recall Harmon ever waxing poetic about box jumps. However, he can break down Ben Hogan's swing path with exacting precision. After all, here's a guy in Harmon who honed his craft during the era of the persimmon-headed driver and the wound ball, analyzing swings in golf's version of analog — you know, back when TrackMan wasn't a thing.
What we now know about the physics of the swing has given us a much keener appreciation for the physical ability it takes to hit a golf ball at an elite level. We can also thank players like Tiger Woods for crediting fitness and training as such a huge component of his success and inspiring others to do the same.
A research study concluded that an additional 10 to 15 yards off the tee allows for shorter, more accurate shots onto the green. Fewer, less erratic strokes preserve the golfer's energy, cutting end-of-round fatigue.
By the same token, he's also the reason why fitness continues to be tripped up by suspicion and angst within the golf community. All those injuries he accumulated over the course of his career while relentlessly training his body prompted many people to wonder if all those hours in the gym contributed to his decline.
Woods, of course, isn't the only professional golfer who's ever been criticized for engaging in activities that were seen as distractions. In 2013, Rory McIlroy found himself in the cross hairs for signing a blockbuster deal with Nike and for failing to capitalize on the success he had the year prior. In explaining his lackluster play, critics took turns bashing the following three things: the overhauling of his equipment, his then high-profile relationship with Caroline Wozniacki and his sudden extensive dedication to fitness (not always in that order).

Daniel Radcliffe spent 10 years of his life playing the world's most famous boy wizard, and now that he's left Hogwarts behind him, he opens up about life after "Harry Potter."
The 22-year-old actor stars in the upcoming "The Woman in Black," his first film since giving up his wand, and tells Parade magazine he doesn't feel pressure to recreate the success of the Potter series with his future work.
Radcliffe says he doesn't fear his star burning out, but says it's a reality. "I have accepted that. It's a great relief that I will never, ever do a film as successful as the Harry Potter series. But neither will anybody else," he said with a laugh. "Or it will take them a long time."
The actor, who broke away from his wizard work with performances on Broadway in "Equus" and "How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying" also opened up to the magazine about his love life with girlfriend Rosie Coker.
The star says he's "absolutely" in love with Coker, who he's been dating since August and tells Parade, "When Rosie's here, every day seems better ... I'm not an easy person to love. There are lots of times when I'm a very good boyfriend but there are times when I'm useless."
Radcliffe is utterly self-deprecating as he calls himself a "mess around the house" who talks "nonstop" and becomes "obsessed with things." But says Coker puts up with him anyway, loving him for his oddness and awkwardness and the things he says he hates about himself.
Radcliffe also spoke about his decision to give up alcohol. In July, he told GQ UK that he had become reliant on alcohol to enjoy things and recognized the problem before it started.
Half a year later he tells Parade that he felt like his "inner life was being drowned."
"I've worked with Richard Harris, Gary Oldman, all those actors who went crazy when they were young, and I always wanted that. The idea of that kinds of life and chaos was always so appealing to me," he admitted. "Unfortunately, the way I do it, there is no romance in it! There is nothing glorious or triumphant about it -- it was pathetic, boring, and unhappy."

Early Childhood
In Israel today, there are roughly 1 million children from birth to age 6. About one-third of these children live below the poverty line (more than 300,000) and an estimated 175,000 live in "at risk" situations.
Early childhood is a crucial time in the development of social and academic skills. The years before first grade provide a foundation for every child's experience in school. Global research has shown that there is high return on investment for early childhood. Accordingly, JDC Ashalim develops programs to support early childhood education and care environments, training staff and working with parents to guarantee that children are prepared to succeed in first grade and beyond.
JDC Ashalim's programs educate parents, educators, and staff members who work with young children to recognize learning and developmental delays, encourage healthy habits, promote literacy, and strengthen parent-child bonds. Such initiatives include programs for first-time parents, home activities for toddlers and parents as well as training for social workers, daycare and preschool education staff to better relate to and communicate with parents. Through these initiatives, JDC Ashalim aims to ensure that every child can start school prepared, and can continue to receive the support he or she needs to succeed.
JDC Ashalim's goals
JDC Ashalim's Early Childhood Unit has set the following goals for improving parenting and quality of life for the most vulnerable children in Israeli society:
- Provide support and care for children aged birth to three and their parents.
- Promote identification and care within universal services for children and parents living in environments or situations that increase risk.
- Improve the quality of education and care services for disadvantaged children.
- Invest in human capital among early childhood professionals.

So I like the idea of a tiny little amp that can serve as a direct box for playing through other systems, but still having EQ and a bit of "character" as well, but also being able to drive a speaker and serve as a mini-rig. The Quilter Interblock 45 seemed a good candidate for that task, so I found a "floor demo" model in like-new condition for a bit less than list price. I still haven't fathomed all its features, but thought I could go ahead and post a demo of a matter that is important to me: how does the DI signal sound compared with a speaker?
To do this, I took a piece I've been working on, you guessed it, a Jimmy Raney solo from Aebersold Vol. 20. I listened to the backing track on headphones and sent the direct line into the A/D box, while also mic'ing the cabinet with a Bluebird "Blue" microphone and sending that to the other input of the A/D box. From there it went via USB to my iPhone lightning port. My speaker was a Faital 8FE200, an 8" speaker 4 ohms. It's in a cheap-o Randall cabinet.
So here's the demo. The mic'd signal is in the Left channel, the direct line is in the Right channel. The backing track is in both, but I tried to bring it down so as not to interfere with the guitar.
Many other factors enter in to the purchase of a piece of kit, but I hope this helps a little for anyone who is thinking about buying this little box.
UPDATE: So I tried using the Effects Return for introducing a backing track. The manual refers to a "Pro Tip" that you can plug the output of an MP3 player into the Return... they even call this a "secret audio input" feature. Well... so far, no go. Or rather, only a partial go. The output from a phone or MP3 player is, of course, stereo and a mini-plug. But the Effects Return is a 1/4" plug. Okay, I have a cable with one of each on each end. The result was only one side of the stereo signal came over. So I tried a TRS to TS adaptor, still only one side of the stereo signal. So far, I've found no way to get the stereo signal from any of my players (iPhone, iPad, etc) to come through with both signals. I have a drawer full of cables and adaptors and I'm not through them all yet, but this is a discouraging sign as a "one box" solution for quiet practice and small venue performance. Short of an actual stereo-to-mono mixer, I don't know what the solution is.

Hi Lawson-Stone,
If you look in the FAQ on Quilter's web site, they mention that the Interblock 45 has switchable cab-simulators that can be used to make a di signal sound more 'realistic'.
Also from page 3 of the manual:
"FR/CAB: The FR setti ng produces Full Range Flat Response output, suitable for acoustic guitar, keyboards, or digital modelling systems. Use with the EQ Voice switch on FULLQ so EQ starts from a flat response curve. The VINTAGE voice may be used when more "sparkle" is needed. The CAB position activates a "cabinet simulator" circuit that shapes the tone to resemble the response of typical guitar speakers. This will produce a hotter, more musical response for electric guitar, especially when using overdrive. Use FULLQ or VINTAGE EQ voice as desired. The output flows to both the SPEAKER and separate HEADPHONE/LINE OUT jacks.
Hope that helps.
Strange , I'd expect the unit to be able to be set up with ....
IR cab sim going to the DI out for front of house
(and the headphone out )
and simultaneously , the straight up 'full Q' going to the
speaker out
Anyway never mind all that ....are you pleased with it as an amp ?
Maybe it's my ears but I heard your soloing on the right channel only from start to finish. Sounds good! The question with the Interblock is its usability as a traditional gigging amp driving a speaker cab. I've had it on a few gigs, with Master at almost full and volume controlled by Gain. Moderate volumes are fine but there isn't a lot of clean headroom. Find myself fumbling with the Mid eq all the time. Again my ears, probably, but the difference between Full and Vintage eq settings is quite subtle. It may be more pronounced through my soon-to-be-tested FRFR cabs.
Lest I forget: A big thank for your demos! Jimmy Raney is an almost unsung hero but very high on my list, and the solo you master is simply great. Wish I had the talent and patience to study similar material. After 60 years of playing, I'm still light-years behind.

I hear a fair amount of what sounds like either digital overs and/or distortion somewhere in the signal chain (through an android phone and decent earbuds). That made it harder for me to evaluate the sound.
Trying to factor that out, both sides sounded kind of thin to me. I think you probably need to get to know this piece of gear a little better in order to get the sound closer to your other amps. That, plus some reverb and compressor (at least for recording)

The Vintage Q option simulates basically a Fender tone stack with the mid-scoop and "glassy" highs. I will play with this thing some more. Other than so far being very disappointed in the claims about the Effects Return being used for audio input (so far doesn't work right) I'm very impressed with what this little box can do.
Thanks for your feedback. I'll go over all my connections and levels, maybe try a different cabinet, might do another clip.

I'm not sure when or how, but things that sound very distinct to me end up mushing together on recordings. Maybe it's YouTube, maybe it's my A/D hardware, maybe it's my post-processing. It's fine for study groups, but I'd love to kick it up a level.
Recording is hard. Recording all by yourself while also playing is really hard. Mixing is a whole 'nother level of hard because you have to consider multiple playback systems and you have to be able to divorce yourself from your own performance and listen to something as if you didn't just play it. That said, most of your stuff sounds quite good to me. Ordinarily I wouldn't even comment because with stuff I hear on the forum I try to listen just to the performance, but in this case it seemed like you were soliciting feedback on the recording quality.
I really do appreciate your listening and also the kind words. Yes, I'm the artist, engineer, mix-down guy, and distributor! My main interest was just to put a sample out there of the Interblock 45 because I know many are curious about this mini-amp/direct box/EQ. It checks a lot of boxes, to be sure.
I have another up now where I'm comparing the Polytone Minibrute 2 and the "Brute EQ" or "Polytone in a Pedal" made by a forum member. The pedal comes out sounding really nice.
I really appreciate your feedback and insights, and I always enjoy hearing you play.

This thread veered off to recording issues and technicalities. These aside, I'd like to return to the IMHO main question: how does it work as a jazz guitar amp? In the practice room, I always wondered it there'd be enough clean headroom for a gig. I was also constantly fondling the mid eq knob. On gigs and jam sessions, no problem. However, no gigging since the arrival of the TC Electronic BAM200 (not to mention the COVID 19 gig attenuator.) In an ideal world, there'd be an Interblock 80, with an on-board reverb on top of all the bells and whistles, plus a second channel with XLR input. Would this come too close to the 101R?

Serena Williams acted like a champion even if she lost. The tennis star was very fair play after her defeat in front of Japan's Naomi Osaka at the U.S. Open Women's Final.
As fans know, the match was pretty controversial due to the fact that Williams received no less than three code violations, something she was not happy about and thought wasn't fair.
But when it came to Naomi being officially declared the winner during the trophy ceremony, the crowd started booing.
20-year-old Naomi reacted to the hate by pulling down her visor and breaking down crying.
That is when Serena showed support to her fellow woman and athlete by putting her arm around her.
Later, Serena started tearing up as well as she praised Naomi: 'I don't want to do questions. I just want to tell you, she played well. And this is her first Grand Slam… I know you were here rooting, I was rooting too. But let's make this the best moment that we can, and we will get through it. Let's give everybody credit where credit is due. Let's not boo anymore. We are gonna get through this, and let's be positive. So congratulations, Naomi! No more booing.'
Osaka then admitted the whole thing was hard on both sides, saying: 'I know that everyone was cheering for her. I'm sorry it had to end like this. I just want to say thank you for watching the match.'
The entire match was a very emotional and stressful experience for Serena as well as for her opponent, and while her fans really wanted to see the new mom win, it is very unfair to have to apologize for winning.
That being said, huge props to Serena for being so fair and supportive towards the young Naomi Osaka. And congratulations Naomi for your impressive and well-deserved victory!

Rolling Stone isn't all crap. William Greider continues to write thoughtful essays about government while the jabbering pundits obsess over politics. P.J. O'Rourke may not be as intellectually nimble as he used to be, but he's no dummy, either. Bylines by writers like Mim Udovitch occasionally appear. However, to say the magazine doesn't resonate as it used to would be like saying Romania got a trifle annoyed with that Ceausescu character.
So the question is not "How bad is it?" but "How bad will it get?"
I thought Rolling Stone hit its nadir last winter when respected pop music critic Neil Strauss got in bed--platonically, but literally--with Jewel. I don't want to rehash a story that disappeared from newsstands months ago, but suffice it to say Strauss's piece should be taught in J-schools as an example of how journalists can be snowed by their subjects, especially if they're a) waify, b) earnest, and/or c) endowed with big knockers.
RS editors took Strauss off the hook with the May 11 "Essential Recordings of the '90s" issue. (What, did you think they'd wait until the '90s were over to hurry this baby to the printers?) In it Rolling Stone named Kurt Cobain artist of the decade. No big argument here (though Greil Marcus's Cobain essay kinda blew). The ass-burner is the list of "essential recordings" itself.
Any list of this sort--and we're waist-deep in them as the century/millennium drags to a finish--is bound to aggravate as much as enlighten. That's what makes lists of value judgments fun. But Rolling Stone's list is remarkable in the way it chases after the public's tastes rather than tries to lead them. An overwhelming majority of the 150 records selected were radio and music-television hits, if not multiplatinum sellers.
To not recognize unit-moving masterpieces like Nevermind, Achtung Baby, and Enter the Wu-Tang would be to commit the sin of omission. Hell, I'll even give 'em Hanson. But Hootie (Cracked Rear View)? The Spice Girls (Spice)? Manson (Antichrist Superstar)? Two records by the Stones and one by Gramps Jagger solo?
Even when the editors selected a worthy artist, they often picked the wrong album. The Beastie Boys' Check Your Head is far superior to Ill Communication; Green Day's Nimrod dogs Dookie; Dig Me Out, not Call the Doctor, is the Sleater-Kinney disc you want.
Further gutless, Rolling Stone editors didn't assign the records numeric values, as they did when they published the best albums of the '80s list. No. 1 that year, as you may remember, was the somewhat daring choice of the Clash's London Calling.
The professional list makers at Entertainment Weekly may be ludicrous, but at least they have the guts and the gall to take a stand. The May 28 "100 Greatest Moments in Rock" issue actually tries to determine which event was more significant, Hair or This Is Spinal Tap. (The nod goes to the boys with armadillos in their trousers.)
RS Music Editor Joe Levy hedged in his introduction to the list, calling it "essential to understand the '90s." Is the decade so distant that Adam Duritz's sha-la-las and Jakob Dylan's half-highbeams have been forgotten? If we wanted to know what the '90s were like, we'd look at our own record collections (as well as the used bins, where we find plenty of "essential" copies of Cracked Rear View and Dookie).
Given the state of the music biz, Rolling Stone's timidity is especially depressing. Records come out by the dozens every week. Seemingly every commercial radio station is a nostalgia format of some kind. The Internet is a poor sieve for propaganda. We need critics, who have the time and the taste to sort through it all, now more than ever.
That's not the self-preservationist in me talking. (Okay, maybe a little.) It's the guy who is glad someone turned him on to London Calling.
Cleveland resident Robert Lockwood Jr. left Memphis last weekend with a couple of choice souvenirs, and we're not talking about a chunk of Graceland sod. The W.C. Handy Blues Awards were presented May 27 at the Orpheum Theatre. Lockwood won the award for best traditional male blues artist; his I Got to Have Me a Woman won best traditional blues album.
Saturday, June 5, the Akron-based dark pop band Unit 5 reunites at the Highland Theatre. Twenty years ago, Unit 5 was one of the most popular bands in the unlikely new-wave nerve center of Akron. The Somatics open the show.
The Basement celebrates its fifth anniversary with a free show by Modern English Sunday, June 6. Something tells me at least one rendition of "I Melt With You" will be performed.
Beginning June 6, the Alan Greene Band will host a blues jam every Sunday night at Cebar's Euclid Tavern . . . Monday through Saturday, WJMO-AM/1490 is now an all-gospel format . . . Since 107.9 went urban, a few people have asked me about modern rock stations that broadcast on the web. Being the Internet ignoramus that I am, I usually respond with a dumb stare. If you find a good station on the Net, tell Scene and we'll share the knowledge. I can offer this: Even before the format change, keen West Siders have tuned in CIDR-FM/93.9 from Windsor, Ontario. It's a good station with a big signal.

WineStyles Franchisee Likes Concept So Much, They Bought it
Two franchisees of WineStyles, a retail wine-tasting concept they've operated for eight years, like the newly rebranded concept so much they're purchasing the entire franchise system and will spend the next couple of years developing and rolling it out.
Andrea and Bryan McGinness purchased last week WineStyles, now called WineStyles Tasting Station, and moved its headquarters to West Des Moines, Iowa.
Along with Bryan's brother, Jeff McGinness, who has joined the management team, they will manage day-to-day operations of nearly 50 existing WineStyles stores, while developing new and converting existing units into the WineStyles Tasting Station model.
"Both Andrea and I fell in love with the original concept nearly eight years ago when we opened our first store, and we're thrilled to have taken over the franchise in its entirety," said Bryan McGinness, CEO.
The WineStyles Tasting Station tries to give the feel of an "old-world wine cellar," the company says. It features a full wine bar with dozens of wines by the glass and a selection of food, craft beers, fine chocolates, organic teas and gourmet coffee. The company is seeking single- and multi-unit operators with retail experience.

Today, I bundled her up to warm her from the cold, sat her in a wheelchair and took her with me when I went a flowering. I love my mother…..and taking her for a flower outing with me. Looks like the flowers had a dual purpose too. Flowering is the best kind of happy drug for me.

Tasmania Week 1
Saturday 10/3/18 to Sunday 18/3/18
How lovely it was to get to Nan's place at Somerset. We spent a few days here just relaxing, having some outings, chatting and enjoying the time. Nan has so many stories to tell about my great grandparents and other relatives, who mostly lived in the north west of Tasmania. It seems they were an adventurous lot with a great deal of pioneer spirit.
We did an overnight excursion out to Marrawah which, beside being a beautiful and rich dairy farm region, is also known for its surf beach. The next morning we travelled south along the west coast to join the Tarkine Drive. Lots of rugged and interesting scenery along the way. We looped back up to Trowutta and walked through a mystical tree fern forest to the arch. We then headed back to Somerset, noting the beautiful soil and rich farm land along the way.
After having another night at Nan's we set off, headed for Cradle Mountain. Drove through Don and the apple growing area of Spreyton to Sheffield, town of murals. Continuing on we decided to camp at Gowrie Park for the night.
It took about an hour to drive to Cradle Mountain the next morning. The day was overcast with drizzly rain. We got the shuttle bus from the Visitor Centre to Dove Lake and walked the circuit. They get an enormous amount of visitors at Cradle Mountain every day. Over Christmas time we were told that it was common to have in excess of 2,500 people visit per day. They have a well organised system to prevent congestion of vehicles at the popular walking spots.
The Dove Lake circuit was beautiful. If anything the light, misty rain made it even more so. Many of the trees and plants have an ancient feel to them reminiscent of "Lord of the Rings". And indeed we were told that some of these trees were thousands of years old. In fact, 60% of the vegetation found at Cradle Mountain is not found anywhere else on the planet. Can clearly see why there is so much effort in preserving this place whilst also allowing people in to enjoy and appreciate it.
Beautiful though the hike was, it was also cold! We decided to stay overnight at the Discovery Camp at Cradle Mountain and take advantage of hot showers to thaw out and also extend our stay so that we could do some more walks the next day.
The following day was different again weather wise. No rain, could clearly see the mountains and the air was warmer. So glad we got to experience both days.
Leaving Cradle Mountain we drove south into mining country. Mines rich in a variety of minerals operate in these areas. A lot of great history to this region. We stopped at Zeehan and stayed at the Bush Camp. In the late 1800's, Zeehan was the third largest town in Tasmania with a population of 10,000. Whilst still a mining town, the population today is only around 700. The beautiful old buildings from it's hey day are still there but are mostly empty. The Saturday afternoon we arrived, the place had the feel of a ghost town. Not a person to be seen anywhere.
The Zeehan Bush Camp is terrific in that it has conveniences such as showers and a laundry and an excellent camp kitchen. It boasts a wood fire, big dining table and lounges as well as the kitchen – all very cosy. The weather turned bad that night with rain and incredible wind gusts tunnelling through the valley. Anything left outside – camp chairs etc – was sent flying. However the decision was made to stay another day and attend to some practicalities, such as clothes washing, and to enjoy some down time in front of a fire. It turned out to be a good decision with increasing rain the next day and even hail.
