Scrap metal theft is a huge problem for some cities in Michigan
Imagine this: you go to open the doors of your church one bright morning and realize something is missing, something big. The statue of the crucified Christ has been stripped right off the outside wall.
Or you're driving along a street and you have to navigate your way around big open holes in the street because the manhole covers have been stolen.
Or how about this: the catalytic converter is stripped right out from under the hood of your parked car.
Welcome to the world of scrap-metal theft in Michigan cities.
Nancy Derringer reported on the problem for Bridge Magazine and she joined us today in the studio.
Listen to the full interview above.

Valedictorian Jodi Ferlito
Daughter of Kenneth & Ann Ferlito
City of Residence - Euclid
Valedictorian Speech
Good evening families, friends, educators, administrators, Board Members, and most importantly, fellow 2012 graduates. . I would like to take a moment to honor Dr. Jones. On behalf of the EHS class of 2012, I would like to invite you to be an honorary graduate with us. You have been with most of us for the majority of our time in Euclid Schools and it is your final Euclid experience as well so you deserve to celebrate too!
It is an honor I have been dreaming of since elementary school, to be speaking in front of all of you tonight, though I wasn't aware I was going to have such a tough act to follow, given by such a talented friend, Brandon.
Now, as I know you all know, it has been quite the experience getting to where we are today. The word experience is the only word I can think of that can adequately describe my last 12 years in the Euclid schools. As a noun, experience has two different definitions:
- the knowledge or skill acquired by such means over a period of time
- an event or occurrence that leaves an impression on someone
While both definitions fit our time at Euclid High School, I think the last one fits it best; "an event or occurrence that leaves an impression on someone". But my time at Euclid High School has done more than just "leave an impression", it has made me who I am today. It has made all of us who we are. It is because of our experience at Euclid High School that we are able to be here tonight, and to accept our diplomas with pride.
Throughout high school, and well - our lives up until now - we have all had thousands of different kinds of experiences, from good to bad, joyful to sad, big to little - first experiences to last experiences - the list goes on. From freshman to senior year, we have had many of these experiences together in the painted halls of Euclid High School; from major life experiences like passing the OGT's and going to prom, to little daily experiences like subconsciously learning all the tunes to the hallway music, or realizing you have a test the period before you have to take it.
All in all, we have had these experiences together. And thank goodness we have, because experiencing things next to each other gave us the power and confidence to try things we may not have been willing to try on our own, and let's be honest, experiencing things side by side is just more fun! Our first experiences may seem similar to each other - because as Euclid students, we've all lived them! We all experienced our first day as little, clueless freshmen, when we still had small schools. And, if you're like me, we've experienced getting our first varsity letter or our first time on a EHS stage, or just simply our first high school midterm exam. As
insignificant as these events may have felt when we first lived them, now they have become defining moments in our high school experience.
Now, four years later, we've also had many "lasts" together, our last football game, our last big test, our last day of school, and now, today, our last hours together as Euclid High School students.
This community that we have built together by sharing these common experiences is one of the strongest communities I have ever been a part of. While we each have our own story, these unique Euclid High School experiences, that are known only to us, have turned us into a unified class of 2012.
Of course all of these experiences we have had, have impacted not only the class of 2012, but also all of our parents, teachers and administrators - But honestly, they have shared all of their experience with us, and we thank them for passing along that wisdom and knowledge, and now it is our turn to return the favor and make them proud.
Finally, I challenge you, class of 2012, to go out and have new "first experiences" and new "last experiences" and all different kinds of experiences! For no matter what happens - they will be experiences to learn from and to grow from and maybe even share - as many have done for us. And these experiences will make you the person you are meant to become.
It doesn't have to end here - today is one of the greatest experiences we've had so far - but I know there is going to be more for each and every one of us. And so, after hearing so many speeches given by Dr. Smialek throughout the years, I have learned that nothing ends a speech quite like a lyric from a song. So I leave you with this, "Tonight, we are young, so let's set the world on fire, we can burn brighter than the sun"

Utah State is now 20-9 on the season with the win, including a 10-7 WAC record. Texas State falls to 9-21 and 4-13 in league play with the loss. Overall, USU is one of just six teams nationally to win 20-plus games in each of the last 14 seasons along with Duke, Florida, Gonzaga, Kansas and Syracuse. In all, it is the 28th time in school history USU has won 20 games in a single season.
Butterfield, who added seven assists in the game, recorded his seventh double-double of the season as his 20 rebounds are the most by an Aggie since Dec. 20, 1997 when Donnie Johnson had 20 boards in a home win against Long Island.
Junior center Jarred Shaw posted his ninth double-double of the season for Utah State as he finished with 15 points and 10 rebounds, and sophomore forward Ben Clifford scored 13 points to go along with six rebounds, while tying his career-highs in both assists and blocked shots with four each. Freshman point guard Marcel Davis also scored in double-figures with 12 points and a career-best five steals.
Utah State swiped a season-high 11 steals Thursday night, bettering the 10 swipes that the Aggies had in the last meeting with Texas State, on Dec. 31, 2012 at San Marcos.
Vonn Jones led Texas State with 19 points off the bench, scoring all of his points in the second half. Jones was the only double-digit scorer for the Bobcats.
Utah State finished the game shooting 41.4 percent (24-of-58), including 25.0 percent from three-point range (5-of-20) and 80.0 percent at the free throw line (24-of-30). Texas State shot just 33.9 percent (19-of-56), including 30.4 percent from three (7-of-23) and 72.7 percent at the line (16-of-22). USU also out-rebounded TXST by 17 (47-30), which lead to a 16-5 advantage in second-chance points. USU also had four more assists (19-15) and five more blocked shots (8-5), while both teams finished with 19 turnovers.
Utah State scored the first six points of the game on consecutive three-pointers by Davis and junior guard Marvin Jean and built its advantage to 21-6 at the 9:12 mark following another Jean jumper. USU eventually led by as many as 23 in the first half at 34-11 with 0:48 remaining after a layup by sophomore center Matt Lopez, before Texas State scored the final four points to make the score 34-15 at intermission.
In the first half, Utah State shot 41.9 percent (13-of-31), including 25.0 percent from three-point range (3-of-12) and 83.3 percent at the free throw line (5-of-6). Texas State shot just 17.4 percent (4-of-23), including 77.8 percent at the free throw line (7-of-9), while going 0-of-7 from behind the arc. In the first-half, USU held the Bobcats without a field goal for 10:44 as it missed 11 straight attempts before making its final two baskets.
Utah State began the second-half on a 7-2 run to go ahead 41-16 and took its largest lead of the game at 46-20 with 13:47 remaining following a three-pointer from junior guard TeNale Roland. Texas State answered with an 11-2 run to get within 48-31, but USU scored the next seven points to lead 55-31 at the 9:43 mark on a Shaw jumper. USU maintained its 20-point advantage and led 65-45 with 4:37 to play only to see TXST score 16 of the next 22 points to close to within 10 at 71-61 with 1:19 remaining. USU, however, made all six of its free throws in the final 73 seconds as it finished the game on a 6-0 run to post the 77-61 victory.
Utah State will now conclude its regular season with a home game against UTSA (8-20, 3-13) on Saturday, March 9 at 7 p.m. UTSA's game at San Jose State Thursday was cancelled due to a leaky roof at SJSU's Event Center. Saturday night will be Senior Night with USU honoring its lone senior, forward Kyisean Reed.

Now the rednecks are not only going to have big clapped out mud trucks with big tahrs they are going to lift their bikes and put big tahrs on too! Bets on how long it takes for one of these bikes to get a smoke stack!?!?!?! |

IMO gimmick.
I know a few guys who have them and unless you ride in the snow, its a waste. Only one actually rides it every day in the winter, his purchase is justified. The others are bandwagoners |

Yes but not over any real distances, just a spin around a parking lot.
Not saying that its pointless but from a utility standpoint there isn't much a fat bike can do that your MTB can't. Sand and soft snow is about it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

They are here to stay, I think salsa is working on a carbon frame now. They are so impractical to maintain. Tires alone are over $100 for one tire. My 29er tires are that price for both. I suppose once more companies jump on to building them prices will come down and they may be worth it then. I want one as well but just can not justify the price for something that will be risen for a few weeks in the fall and spring/end of winter.

Fat bikes are simply another novel option given to you by the bike industry so they can sell more bikes. But a lot of people enjoy them. They're superior in sand and snow, they can handle hardpack and gravel roads nearly as well as most normal mountain bikes can. They don't need suspension components which can wear and cost money and require more maintenance because the big squishy soft tires make for a comfy ride all on their own....I won't be plunking down big cash to own one any time soon, but they are a hoot to ride and they have their place. To each their own, they're here to stay thats for sure. Go out on an actual ride with one, then you can call it a gimmick and a waste. |

How tough are the tires on these? Are they susceptible to stick punctures? I think they would be great on the all sand trails around here, as long as they don't have puncture issues often. It's been a little while since I looked into them much, but everyone seemed to only care about the snow performance, and worry about punctures in the summer months, although I heard no real world reports.
April 18th, 2013, 11:47 AM | #37 | |
Essentially you have 1 ply tires (Cross country, cyclocross, normal people riding, etc.) and you have 2 ply tires (DH Racing and Freeride). These tires fall in under the normal category, they're reasonably tough and flats aren't much of an issue. |

If they are getting popular, in a year Walmart will have a Chinese version.

Out for the Summer!
1200 for something I'm goign to be riding in the Michigan salt and snow, no thanks. My 350 dollar Trek does just fine in the snow. $1200 is alot of money but really not all that much for a bike. I come from a Road bike background and those things get spendy very quickly. Of course, Mine doesn't see any snow, salt, or, if I can manage, rain.

Associated Press
BOSTON -- Boston College has fired football coach Frank Spaziani after four years of progressively worse records and two straight seasons without a bowl appearance.
The team made the announcement on Sunday, a day after the Eagles (2-10, 1-7 Atlantic Coast Conference) finished the season with a 27-10 loss at North Carolina State.
Auburn dismises Chizik
AUBURN, Ala. -- Auburn coach Gene Chizik was fired Sunday after the Tigers' rapid fall from a national champion to a winless Southeastern Conference season.
The Tigers endured the worst slide within two years of winning a national championship of any team since the Associated Press poll started in 1936 and hadn't lost this many games since going 0-10 in 1950. The decision came 17 months after Auburn gave Chizik a contract worth some $3.5 million annually through 2015 with a hefty buyout.
The players were informed in a team meeting Sunday. Jacobs scheduled a news conference for later in the afternoon.
N.C. State fires O'Brien
RALEIGH, N.C. -- North Carolina State has fired football coach Tom O'Brien after six seasons, four of which were good enough to get the Wolfpack into a bowl but none that could get them to the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game.
O'Brien went 40-35 after coming to Raleigh from BC following the 2006 season. He took the Wolfpack to three bowl games, but won't coach in a fourth when N.C. State receives its bid next week.
Hope out at Purdue
INDIANAPOLIS -- Danny Hope is out as Purdue's football coach.
One day after the Boilermakers retained the Old Oaken Bucket with a 56-35 victory over Indiana and became bowl eligible for the second straight season, athletic director Morgan Burke announced that Hope had been fired.
After replacing the winningest coach in school history, Hope went 22-27 in four seasons with teams that were ravaged by injuries.

My college has the best radio station in New York City.
Well thankfully I live in the Boston area, so whenever I listen to the radio it's usually either 92.5 The River (Album-Oriented adult Alternative), 100.7 WZLX (Actually good classic rock), or, when I feel like being a bit more "guilty" in my music, 97.7/107.3 WAAF (General rock and stuff). Occasionally I listen to 92.9 (general 90's/00's/10's alternative), but they play the same songs over and over so I listen to that sparingly. Other than those stations it's basically all typical pop stations so I don't tend to stray.

we used to have an awesome alt station here called 94.1 the Edge, but they started playing dubstep, so that's not an option anymore. I usually listen to the Michigan State college radio station, which is usually excellent and will play anything.
"My name is Giovanni Giorgio but everybody calls me...Giorgio.
If you live in NYC, you might be able to get 89.5 WSOU which is Seton Hall's radio station, broadcasting out of Jersey. They play some good stuff from time to time depending on the DJ. They mostly stuck to metal a couple years back, but now they play a lot of different styles. I've heard some really good tunes on there recently. Their late afternoon DJ's are usually the best like after 5 PM.

As a young EMT on a Jerusalem ambulance, Eli Beer realized that, stuck in brutal urban traffic, they often arrived too late to help. So he organized a group of volunteer EMTs -- many on foot -- ready to drop everything and dash to save lives in their neighborhood. Today, United Hatzlah uses a smartphone app and a fleet of "ambucycles" to help nearby patients until an ambulance arrives. With an average response time of 3 minutes, last year, they treated 207,000 people in Israel. And the idea is going global.
Eli Beer, the founder and president of United Hatzalah, has re-imagined first response by training EMT volunteers to respond to local calls and keep people alive until official help arrives. Full bio »

Auto-advanceThis transcript is automatically generated
We're going to talk for a few minutes about the magic number this November 270.
As in 270 electoral votes to win the presidency.
Let's get some insights now as we always do from former bush senior advisor Karl Rove.
And democratic strategist Joseph Trippi first let's look at the map.
The latest map as you lay it out you can see the info on the key there red states Romney Blue States Obama.
Then -- issues lean -- light blue lean Obama and the yellow states those are tossup states within the margin of error this is all based.
On polls within the last.
Thirty days OK gentlemen.
Carl what's changed well we have a minor change to Barack Obama's advantage Connecticut was seven electoral votes goes from lean Obama to solid Obama but the good news -- there.
Two states Nevada with six in Michigan with sixteen shift from lean Obama to toss up.
We now have nine states with a 122 electoral votes that are now toss -- this is the largest number of tossup states.
We've had since -- began tracking in April largest number of Electoral College votes as well.
Of those changes what's most important job.
-- -- -- -- Mean suddenly there's a lot of different ways -- For Mitt Romney to make it we've been talking for weeks about the 321 strategy but now you can lose a state like Virginia one of us to three.
Who thought Indiana North Carolina and Virginia that he asked the -- we thought he had to win that.
To have a shot you can you can lose one of those states now.
There because so many states have gone and a toss up.
Nevada Michigan Wisconsin those three states you win them and you can start to lose some of the 321 states which is.
Something the Obama campaign could not have possibly been thinking about this late in the game.
Carl as we point out this is over thirty days you guys moved Texas in that.
Dark red because you just said it is but Georgia.
Is the same light rail Tennessee -- -- yet we've got 35 Electoral College states called lead Romney and Georgia.
Tennessee and can take either call that because the last poll we have -- some time ago.
But I I personally think those 35 Electoral College votes are actually -- Romney's column if you do that.
Think about that for minute.
The solid Obama states fourteen of them represent a 184 Electoral College votes if you -- Kentucky Tennessee and Georgia.
To the to the nineteen states that Romney now has with a 146 Electoral College -- you add those three states with 35 and it is a 184.
To -- 181.
And solid states for each candidate in the rest of it is up for grabs.
Joseph talk about a convention balance you know we don't really see one massive yet it's a little tough it's a holiday weekend and you've got the Democratic Convention this week.
For the Republicans what are they looking for what you do usually the party that's out of power in the presidency gets the non incumbent party gets about a five point.
Well that's the average I'd expect something like death -- the problem is we're not going to be able to see it.
I don't think not completely because that he said that we're here at the Democratic Convention that's the start of the pendulum swinging the other way and you know -- I think.
Later on what we'll have to see how big the gap is -- I think that.
The -- itself might be man might be masked by how close these conventions are you know I think this in in the modern -- only the second time we've had the conventions back to back and I agree with Joseph.
We're likely to see the effect of the -- sort of mitigated by that we ought to take a look at the Gallup poll and others a couple of weeks before the Republican dimension and take a look at him a couple weeks at the Democratic Convention we'll see how they.
-- -- respective party vowed to settle out here in North Carolina -- it's tied on this map.
Recent polls are really tight here.
Shouldn't Romney be -- in north well rob is actually if you take a look at the recent polls for example new poll out today from Elon university and Charlotte Observer -- -- -- -- four.
This this number again this is the strength of the weakness of -- -- these -- together.
We will drop off this week the earliest hole.
In the last month which is also incidentally the best poll for President Obama this state is gonna in the next couple weeks trend -- and I would be surprised to see in a couple weeks.
North Carolina BA leading Romney state.
On the basic dropping out these older polls show we talked -- -- about the iPad app that people can download and they are.
Down running it making their own maps comparing the maps that you and Carl has done.
You have one from that you picked out from a guy who put together his choices.
Yeah Ryan Collins put this up use the gap and put it up and I have what I found -- to -- about the reason I wanted to to -- -- Is he did show us why it's so important that Nevada and Michigan -- -- the toss up this this week.
He he has Barack Obama winning Virginia which is something I think.
Do -- is likely to happen or or could very well happen and then the question was with a 321 strategy.
Virginia being one of the must wins how how do you win without it.
And now -- Nevada he has Nevada go on for for Romney.
And Wisconsin so he had Wisconsin in the data together.
And it makes up for Virginia and Romney.
Gets to to to 75.
Scares me.
So but but keep these coming -- I think there's -- Very interesting ones -- other words you have different equations that can get right there right for example of New York Times had a story this weekend if Romney were to lose Ohio.
If you look at the battleground states are eleven other ways by which he can replace those.
Eighteen Electoral College votes hear -- in this map from -- we have Virginia with thirteen Electoral College votes going to Obama.
And he replaces about combination of Nevada.
And Wisconsin you can also get a by Wisconsin and New Hampshire for example or by Michigan in -- in and of itself.
-- -- without the other what does the president have the same option about stringing states together.
88 you know the guy who's on offense always has a better shot to string together a different set of states that guy on the defense is playing.
Defense you -- you know Obama could still the one thing is consistent if he could stop Romney in Ohio and Virginia.
Very tight it's still possible -- -- get -- but very very different.
Hope to do on this map Missouri is -- Romney Carl I have to ask you about this comment that was.
From a private.
Get together a fund -- I guess a meeting in which you said about the senate candidate there quote we should sink Todd -- if he's found mysteriously murdered.
Don't look for my whereabouts.
The about it not exactly the quote but close -- -- -- that they -- it -- right right that is the this was a comment made in an intemperate remark.
Made in a private conversation when -- became public that.
I started dialing up the numbers ahead for -- and congressman -- called and apologized for the intemperate remark he could have been more gracious.
And kind in his in as soon -- my apology and I wish I had said in a private but when it came public at the right thing to do -- column and I did you regret it.
Yeah look at -- don't do it again exasperated comment private -- level I wished I had said it but I didn't.
When became public the best thing to do his column apologize and I did I've never made an intemperate remark.
We'll we'll get there are children maybe their dirty clothes on the floor no I don't think it's that'll leave it there gentlemen as always thank you will see you next week.

Republicans and Dinosaurs: An Epidemic of Ignorance
Sunday, December 9th, 2012Over the past 30 years the Gallup organization has conducted 11 polls on the question of the origin and development of the human species. Over those eleven years the results have been remarkably consistent.
According to Gallup, 46% believe that God created humans in their present form; 32% believe that humans evolved, under the guidance of God; and 15% believe that human evolution took place absent any involvement by God.
When the question set was altered slightly, and the responses broken down by political party, the results were or as follows: 58% of Republicans polled believed God created humans in their present form within the last 10,000 years. Before you blow up your self-esteem to the bursting point note that according to Gallup 41% of the Democrats and 39% of the independents polled held the same view.
In sum, 46% of Americans hold the Creationist view of human origins within the past 10,000 years.
Most Americans are not scientists, of course, and cannot be expected to understand all of the latest evidence and competing viewpoints on the development of the human species. Still, it would be hard to dispute that most scientists who study humans agree that the species evolved over millions of years, and that relatively few scientists believe that humans began in their current form only 10,000 years ago without the benefit of evolution. Thus, almost half of Americans today hold a belief, at least as measured by this question wording, that is at odds with the preponderance of the scientific literature.
Good Grief.

This is incredibly detailed. I've easily got pages of character, backstory and world saved to different hard-drives, notebooks, or just floating around in my head. For the amount of work I put into this world, it could easily be advanced. However, I really don't want my players to feel restricted in any way. Despite how the world feels to me, I'd like it to be easy to play.
The basic plot in a nutshell:
Magic exists (duh). Everyone is born with the ability, but varying levels of talent. However, an extremely rare fraction of the population are born as planeswalkers: extremely powerful mages with the unique ability to cross between alternate dimensions. Your characters would be planeswalkers, fairly young ones: aged 14-19 (adjusted for species, I'll get to that in a moment.) whose talents have just been discovered. The setting would be mainly classroom, in a fantasy floating castle in another dimension. I will play the faculty, and maybe one student if I get bored, I'll throw lessons, field trips and the occasional crisis situation at your characters, all building up as part of a plot that I already have figured out.
Information for you:
As far as the mundane world goes, it looks exactly like the real world today. However, non-humans are allowed, specifically elves, drow, werecreatures and at most one vampire or dragon. However, this falls under "Our generic fantasy creature is different".
I'll be explaining exactly how when this gets to OOC.
The whole magic thing is a very well kept secret.
Students will only be from earth and it's sub-planes (I'll explain later.)
Have a soul. The only thing that's going to make this interesting is if your character relates to and develops alongside his fellow classmates.
If you're used to roleplaying a soulless combat monster, get out.
If you're used to always being taken seriously, prepare to be laughed at.
If you're used to taking everyone else seriously, prepare to laugh.
No Canadians.
No legal representatives of Sony Entertainment.
I am active-duty military. This may mean, although extremely unlikely, that I could be called off to random ass inconvenient duty at inconvenient times. I'm not gonna say deal with it, but hey, cut me some slack, I work for like $4 an hour.
Finally, don't be an ass. That is all.

Starting at the always-colourful South Street, head off with your local guide through the neighbourhood of Bella Vistain South Philly. Grab a drink at a local coffee shop and see one of the city's great murals located across from a typical neighborhood park. Swing by a historic deli, duck into a tempting bakery and strollalong Christian Street before getting to the noises, aromas and sights of the famous Italian or, more accurately, 9th Street Market.
The market is the oldest and largest everyday open-air market in the USA, and it's easy to understand why it is one of Philly's must-see attractions. With your local guide leading the way, explore the huge variety of stores located here, many of which are Italian in heritage. Tempt tastebuds as you wander past cheeses, chocolates, spices and olive oils. Discover bakeries, butchers and myriad other produce stalls plus a wonderful kitchen store. And don't worry, if the temptation to purchase becomes too great, you're likely to get a bargain as many of these stores discount for our travellers. Along the way you'll get the chance to talk to some of the owners and employees of these shops and stalls, and hear fascinating stories of the development of this area over the years.
After leaving the market, cross over the main intersection and head towards a variety of Mexican stores. If this area looks familiar it's probably because it was here that Rocky ran through the streets on one of his famous training runs. Nearby you'll also see a selection of Asian stores, brimming with aromas and sights that are sure to delight the senses. Continue on for another block or two and arrive at the intersection made famous by local restaurants Pat's and Geno's, where you'll be able to choose between their competing Philly cheesesteaks. Select your topping, with or without onions, and what cheese you'd like, and pull up a seat on the street to enjoy a quintessential Philly culinary experience. It's a delicious way to end your market walking tour.

My guide, Josh, was excellent. He has a great rapport with the merchants and he encouraged me to ask questions. I really enjoyed that interaction. I kept thinking of what I would have missed if I tried to just walk down 9th Street. It was a very pleasant experience. I highly recommend it and would like to do other Urban Adventures tours in the future.

As I told Ryan, our tour guide, he exceeded our expectations. Ryan went 45 minutes overtime with us to show us extra shops and tailor the tour to our group of 9, branching out to chocolate, pastry and other shops. Our access to shop owners was special, and my wife and I returned to 4 shops after the tour to shop and all 4 owners recognized us from the tour. Outstanding day by Urban Adventure.

Alex was the best tour guide ever, sensitive to time schedules, gently reminding us when to "Just pop in to peek around" or when we had time to shop. He was knowledgeable, informative and pleasant, crossing the street to allow for our wheelchair bound tourist to have accesible sidewalks or a clearer path. We enjoyed him VERY much!

I have lived in the Delaware Valley for 23 years, and have been to the Italian Market, but this was the first time I have had a guided tour of the Market and the Italian-American part of Philadelphia. Jason was a super guide, with a great knowledge of the history, culture, and traditions of this unique part of the Mid-Atlantic region. I really enjoyed his taking us into various establishments that had been in the Italian Market area for generations, and listening to their unique stories. After the tour I had lunch at Ralph's, because it is the oldest Italian-American restaurant in the US, I learned from Jason. I had lived in San Francisco not far from the famous Fior d'Italia, and it was great to experience a similar tradition and experience some 3,000 miles away from North Beach, SF. I came away, on Saturday, really having a good understanding of the history of Italian immigration, their establishing family businesses, and building a community, that we all can share when we visit the Italian Market. Thanks so much, Jason! Great job! Bravo!

Jeremy was our guide for the tour of the Italian Market. I just love this tour so much, that it was actually my second tour of the market. The first time was with a friend, but this time I brought several friends. Great time learning the history and culture with a knowledgeable guide. Ate our way through the market :)

There is something else I'd like to look into too. (oh, what have I gotten myself into )
When resuming from standby I get some strange behaviour from the PVR addon. The recordings list is not updated, I sometimes cannot play any recordings and while playing another video I get notifications frequently that recordings are finished or deleted, which is obviously not the case. Not sure if this is related to the mythtv addon specifically or to the PVR system as a whole.
Does anyone recognize this?

I suspect that it is because the connection(socket) to the backend is broken when resuming from standby. Currently there is no code to try reestablishing the connection. The libcmyth code that has to be updated. We/I need to add a new function to update the cmyth_conn_t struct.
Any help will of course be highly appreciated. As you may have discovered it can be quite time consuming to fix all these bugs.

I'm still following your build and still use it as my frontend.
I wanted to say again thank you for your work! It's great to see it developping I was amazed when I saw that preview and channel pics work now when the backend is on a different machine. And the categories are wonderful too Even though I have three little issues: The categories aren't always perfect. E.g. I have a movies category where I have lots of recordings. But none of them is a movie. I understand that you sort them by program title only. But mythfrontend does it somehow different. I have a much better categroization there. Will you be able to change that someday or is this a limitation of the cmyth library? The next issue is when I enter this movies category (in fact any with a large number of recordings) it takes minutes until the recordings are listed. I read something about that it downloads all the covers. Has this to do with it? And the last thing is that I like to have the newest recordings on the top. But When I sort one category the others aren't affected. Would it be possible to implement a menu entry or something that sets everything to be sorted be date? Thank you again very much for your great work! |

I read with attention your work, but I cannot use your git repo for compiling as I'm using MythTV 0.25. And this is going to be common as it's the version include in Ubuntu 12.04, so the version of Mythbuntu too. But Daniel Teirney has patched the cmyth for support of MythTV 0.25 (https://github.com/dteirney/xbmc/tree/myth-0.25) And seems it has been pull to the main branch of XBMC git (https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc cmyth 19 hours ago [cmyth] Fix memory corruption caused by incorrect size allocation for… [David Teirney]) Is it possible to merge your lib directory from the xbmc git so we will have the new version of cmyth and support of 0.25 ? As your addon is full cmyth based, must be enough to get xbmc-pvr working with myth 0.25 Am I wrong ? |

I was born in 1949 and have always been an American history buff. Growing up on a small WI dairy farm with not a lot of money we as children did a lot of play acting and used our imagination. A favorite was cowboys and indians and another was Civil War. I can remember getting my first set of plastic blue & gray soldiers and playing with them for hours. We would set up battle formations and strategies with each side getting a fair amount of wins and losses. I lost interest in history as I grew up, married, and raised a family, but rekindled the passion for history in 1993 after my sister died tragically at a young age. I needed something to occupy my time to help combat the awful feelings of grief and loss. Since then I have traveled to Gettysburg, Picacho Peak in Arizona and Sharpsburg, Maryland and plan an extensive tour of Civil war Sites after retirement in a few years. I also have ancestors who fought on both sides of the war of whom I hvae researched extensively. i appreciate the opportunity to share a part of my interest in the war and have enjoyed your stories as well.

Mr. Daniels, I've been to Picacho Peak also! You don't run across a lot of people who've been there, but I insisted on stopping when we were visiting AZ a few years ago. It certainly is different than any CW battlefield I've ever visited. I've also been to Gettysburg, but have yet to visit Sharpsburg. It (or Chickamauga) will most likely be my next destination. I particularly enjoyed Shiloh and Vicksburg, and also recommend a visit to Franklin, TN to see the many sites there, especially the Carter House and Carnton. Thanks for sharing your story! |

Mr. Daniels...I have been involved in Civil War reenacting and for forty years, been a student of the Civil War. Based upon your geographical location, might I recommend a vist to Ft. Donelson in Dover, Tenn., during the living history program that brings Grant & Buckner together? Each year the crowd grows larger, and Union & Confederate reenactors set up camps on the battlefield for the weekend. Grant & Buckner are available for questions & photos and each man gives a presentation in the auditorium of the visitor's center, where you will gain insight into lives of these two old friends. Ft. Donelson has a museum and gift shop on the premisis and a very knowledgeable staff. On Sunday, the surrender is reenacted at the Dover Hotel, which still stands and looks the same as it did in 1862. This is a rather moving meeting of Buckner & Grant as Buckner addresses his troops. In the past few years, historians have viewed Ft. Donelson as the place where the "North WON the Civil War", and several books are out there filled with the claims that support that view. The gift shop sells most of the books I am referring to. Hosted by the 50th Tennessee (CSA) and the NPS, no one leaves this event without feeling the importance of the Battle & the pain of the losses suffered here. Save time to visit the National Cemetery and Grant's headquarters location. The event is planned for Feb. 18-19, 2006 so there is time to make your plans. No fees to attend these programs. Hope to see you there... Your Most Obedient servant,....Ulysses |

Ft. Donelson is a wonderful visit. I had no idea they had the February events, they sound very interesting and fun. I will have to return and hopefully attend the ceremonies. Thank you, sir, for the dates and information. Yours, J. Parks |

Here's a story I've written on the early days of DJ'ing and Disco in Norway where I'm from.
Honest feedback's appreciated, especially since I'm kinda new to writing.
Maybe you'll discover a record or two you didn't know about as well. Enjoy.
Disco In Norway
(Photo: DJ Tore Løken)
Disco in Norway was started in 1969 by a guy from Oslo named Tore Løken. After he had spent time on the UK club scene he brought the idea back with him, and decided to start a club in Oslo where musicians and other artists could hang out with like minded people, and others in the music business. The name of the club was Mandagsklubben (The Monday Club), that was private and membership only. Sort of a chill-out zone for people in the Norwegian entertainment industry, artists, musicians, and their girlfriends. Later in ' 69 Tore Løken also started a club open to the general public, and named it Safari. Safari would become the new hot spot in Oslo, being mentioned in music magazines outside of Norway as well. The club had a jungle style interior, and the DJ booth was built to look like a hut.
Tore Løken was the DJ at both clubs, and the first DJ from Norway to play in front of a live audience, as well as the first DJ to play records, and talk on the mic at the same time. More DJ's followed shortly, and guys like the Norwegian radio DJ Jørgen Slips would also start playing in Oslo in 1969 at a club called Soria Moria, as well as DJ Steve Lindquist who would team up with Løken to do the first mobile Disco parties in Norway using Gerard twin turntables, and a 100 watt amplifier to play parties in schools. The biggest amp available at the time was a 1500 watt amp they called Grand Slam that would be used mostly for outdoors events, and Steve Lindquist would be the first DJ to travel to various places in Norway to do gigs with the Rabbit Rock Mobile Disco system, a well known mobile Disco in Norway in the 70's and 80's run by Arne Mørk who was a speedboat racer as well as a pioneer in the Norwegian Disco business. After some time on the road in Norway Rabbit Rock Mobile expanded, and became the biggest mobile Disco in Europe.
(Photo:Polar Disco Club)
The Norwegian singer Halvdan Sivertsen would DJ in his hometown of Bodø in 1971 at the first club there named Polar Disco Club, and playing records during breaks in the performance by Swedish singer Cornelius Wrejsvik is what set off Halvdan's DJ career.
The other mayor cities in Norway like Trondheim, Bergen, and Stavanger also had a live Disco scene, and in Stavanger DJ Per Gjøvåg at Grotten Disco, a bomb shelter turned nightclub, would be the first DJ to get on Norwegian national TV that did a special on him and his club in 1974.
Clubbing spread quickly to all corners of Norway, even small towns like my hometown of Geilo, where DJ's like Per Alm would DJ at the first club here called Mølla in 1970, and in 1975 the first local DJ, Dave Dale, would play Disco parties in youthclubs and hotels, as well as at Mølla, and the other local clubs Sherlock Holmes, and Camus Circus. Per Alm would later become an A&R for Polygram records in Norway, and Dave Dale retired from DJ'ing in 1985.
Once Tore Løken had kick-started the Club and DJ culture, it took about one year tops before it had spread to the whole country from the biggest cities to the smallest villages. The norm in the beginning however was to have a live band on stage, and the DJ's playing records during breaks, so the early days of DJ's playing full nights were kinda hard to swallow for the crowds used to live bands, so they would boo when the DJ's came on, but soon, and as DJ's got better, the live band was replaced by the DJ, and some musicians would even become DJ's instead to be able to pay their bills.
The music played in the early days were inspired by the Hippie movement, and artists like Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Blood, Sweat & Tears, and various progressive Rock bands, along with traditional Rock & Roll like The Beatles, Stones, Kinks, The Monkeys, etc, would be among the dancefloor favorites. From about 1973-74 uptempo Soul music would take over, and artists like Barry White, James Brown, KC & The Sunshine Band, and The Jacksons would become the hot artists among the DJ's and dancers, but all kinds of music was put in the mix, including the Norwegian folk music style called Gammeldans, which is music without a drum beat, played using only Violin and Accordion, that people would do couple-dancing to in between the Soulful Disco sets. In the early days it was recommended by clubowners that DJ's should play a few sets of Gammeldans during the night, probably to have a bit of Norwegian culture present in this new and exciting thing called clubbing, and keep a balance of Norwegian and foreign culture. In the early days it was also an unwritten rule that the DJ's should play three slow songs every hour to keep the crowd from goin' too bananas to the Disco sounds.
The first DJ to beatmix records in Norway was a guy from Oslo named Heavy Henry (RIP), who was inspired by DJ's he had heard mixing when he was partying in the UK. Henry would bring that style of DJ'ing to Norway in 1975, and mixed using two beltdrive turntables. There were no pitch controls, and you had to count rounds of the platters cause it took about three seconds to get them up to full speed, so Henry would mix slowing down or speeding up the platters gently with his fingers to go from one record to the next without losing the beat, as well as using a radio jingle machine for various sound FX. A very expensive piece of equipment back then that he had imported from the UK. Most other DJ's would be very impressed by Heavy Henry because they would mostly either play records from start to finish, or talk on the mic between them, so Henry was known as the best DJ in Norway in the mid 70's because of his mixing skills.
It didn't take long before entrepeneurs realized that clubbing was good business, and in the aftermath of the blockbuster Saturday Night Fever in 1977 the whole world went Disco crazy, and in Norway, like the rest of Europe, acts like Donna Summer, Boney M, Bee Gees, and Abba would have big hits with their more polished style of Disco that would appeal to the masses, from children to senior citizens. Disco was becoming big business, and clubs opened up left and right. Those were the happy days for club owners and DJ's alike. There were several booking agencies, IDEA, and Nor Booking that would hire DJ's, and book them to play at various clubs all over Europe, Bacchus booked worldwide, and Disco Sound for DJ's in Norway.
The DJ's would make a set fee that would be about $500 for a night, and about $3500 for a month as the resident DJ at a club. Clubowners would get whatever was left after bills, DJ, and staff were paid, and we're not talking about chump-change. The business would gross so much after a while that the Norwegian IRS would become very interested in the scene. They would hire people to make sure the right amount of taxes were paid by the clubowners, and would raid afterhours clubs that did private parties where the illegal sales of alcoholic beverages, drug abuse, and sex was the common thing, and some clubs would be shut down because of legal action by the IRS and the Police, but as one club was shut down, another started. The legal nightclubs had to close by 4am due to Norwegian regulations, but the illegal afterhours spots, often situated at someone's private home, or a basement, would be open ' til at least 9am, or for as long as people wanted to party.
By the late 70's, demand for 12" singles with extended remix versions of songs were high among DJ's, but no record stores would carry them in Norway, so Norwegian DJ's would travel to London to buy the latest 12" singles at shops like Groove Records in the Soho area, made famous by Tony Prince's Disco charts on 208 Radio Lux because the charts were compiled by Groove Records. The store was owned and run by an elderly and friendly lady named Mrs. Palmer who was well into her sixties, but still an expert on Soul, Funk, and Disco music, who would serve the hungry Norwegian DJ's with the latest 12" Disco singles. That way the Norwegian clubbers were lucky enough to be able to dance to the hottest new tunes only a couple of weeks after they were released in the US.
In the early 80's specialist DJ shops would open in Norway, like Funkytown in Stavanger run by a local DJ named Åge Holgersen, Fotokopi, Immerslund, and Hot News in Oslo, Mike Lewis record shop in Grimstad, and a few others, would import 12"s from the US and UK to supply DJ's all over Norway. In Oslo a record pool simply named Record Pool was started to serve DJ members with promo vinyls. Mike Burke record shop put ads in the biggest Norwegian newspaper VG advertising 12" singles to DJ's with a phonenumber to call to buy the records. That was in 1981, and some of the titles advertised were Yarbrough & Peoples' Don't Stop The Music, Blondie's Rapture, SOS Band's Take Your Time, and Kleeer's Get Tough.
Disco related advertising in VG was nothing new because CBS Records in Norway started a service in the newspaper in 1979 where people could call a number, and hear a snippet of the next big Disco hit record. The first record used in the service was Anita Ward's Ring My Bell that would become a number one single in Norway. Other Disco records that did well on the Norwegian charts were Baccara's Yes Sir I Can Boogie, Gloria Gaynor's I Will Survive, Chic's Le Freak, and Good Times, Sister Sledge's We Are Family, and He's The Greatest Dancer, Ottawan's D.I.S.C.O., the Saturday Night Fever and Thank God It's Friday soundtracks, Leon Haywood's Don't Push It Don't Force It, The Whispers' And The Beat Goes On, any Earth Wind & Fire, Chaka Khan, Donna Summer, Village People, Bee Gees, Abba, etc...
The first crossover Rap record, Sugarhill Gang's Rappers Delight, peaked at number two on the Norwegian pop charts in 1980, shortly followed by two other Rap records in the Norwegian Top 10, Rap-O Clap-O by Joe Bataan, and Rhythm Talk by Jocko. After the release of those records it became a common thing among the more upfront DJ's to Rap over the various Disco records, and sometimes DJ's would make their own raps to introduce themselves and to hype the crowds, so in that respect Hip-hop was introduced to Norway by club DJ's.
The common language used by DJ's to talk and rap on the mic was English for Norwegian as well as foreign DJ's playing in Norway. DJ's from the UK were plenty in Norway in the early years of Disco, and some of the best DJ's in Norway were British, such as DJ Gary Dean who would mix records just as well as the best DJ's in the US, and would play the same music that was hot in the clubs stateside.
As far as Norwegian artists putting out Disco records there were close to no real Disco cuts made in Norway. The exceptions being artists and bands doing Norwegian cover versions of Disco hits. There were plenty of artists making Soul, Jazz, and Funk influenced music however, such as Frode Thingnes, Jon Eberson, Inger Lise Rypdal, Jonas Fjeld Band, Alex, Lava that featured Randy Crawford as their singer on a couple of albums, and Drama that changed their name to Creation in the mid 80's and released the 12" I'm Going Up in 1985, on the Desperado label, with a Swedish remix by Fredrik Ramel who also did most of the remixes for the Swedish dance label Beat Box that put out remixes of Italian Disco records mostly. I'm Going Up is now much in demand among Boogie collectors, and fetches about $100 when it shows up.
Comedy acts like Prima Vera would do mediocre Norwegian cover versions of international Disco hits in the late 70's. The first serious quality Disco record from Norway actually didn't come out until 1984 with the duo Avalanche's 12" single Heaven Tonight. Avalanche were Norwegian, but had German production, and were signed to the German label Metronome Records. They followed Heaven Tonight with several more 12" singles during the late 80's, and early 90's.
The only Norwegian club hit before that was Oslo's New Wave artist Beranek with his 7" 45 only release Dra Te' Helvette (Go To Hell), that was a number one single in Norway in 1981, even if it was banned from national radio because of the title and lyrics about shooting up Heroin, and some record stores wouldn't sell it cause it had a picture of a naked ass with a syringe labeled Disco on the front cover. Beranek released a couple of 12" singles and albums in the early 80's, but they were aimed at the New Wave / Punk crowd more than the Disco crowd. For some reason Norwegian labels and artists seemed to have a problem taking Disco music seriously, and Norway was always a little late to pick up on new musical trends compared to the other Scandinavian contries, which is the main reasons there are very few Norwegian Disco records. It took A-ha to make it big worldwide with Take On Me, (Released in 1984), in the late 80's, for other Norwegian artists to realize that it was possible to make it big internationally with a dance record, although the Progressive Rock band Popol Ace, later turned Popol Vuh, were close in the mid 70's when they almost signed a deal with Frank Zappa.
In the US on July 12th. 1979, the infamous Disco Demolition Night took place, where American radio DJ Steve Dahl had people bring their Disco records to a sports event in Chicago to start a giant fire and burn the records. In reality, a racist and anti-gay mediahype promoted by Rock DJ's and music industry people who were stuck in the past, and hated the fact that Disco had taken Rock & Roll's spot as the most popular culture and music. It was an attempt to end Disco that also made it to the Norwegian newspapers in 1980, backed by certain people in the Norwegian press, under the headlines of Disco Is Dead! A lot of people took that literally, some clubs were shut down, and some DJ's quit because they genuinely believed that Disco was indeed dead.
So was that the end of clubbing and DJ'ing in Norway? No, it was just the beginning.

So it's no longer Free Software? It's become proprietary. For shame.
It seems odd that Our Editor missed this sad state of affairs.

It's somewhere in between open source and proprietrary, if I remember my definitions correctly. All of the source is available and can be modified and distributed (as patches). What you cannot do is sell it for more than the cost of distribution.

Well, in this case, our Editor is hardly to blame. This author *is*. FWIW, it was on my mental list to get into the story, but never made the actual list or (obviously) the actual story. Kudos to error27 for pointing it out.

The Waterloo House is a 4-star guest house in Dublin, ideally situated just 2 minutes walk from the major shopping area of Baggot Street, which in 15 minutes leads to St. Stephen's Green, and 10 minutes from the National Art Gallery and the National Museum, an ideal location for discovering the culture of Dublin. Though the guest house is near restaurants, pubs, Dublin nightlife and attractions, it is situated in a quiet residential street and guests are sure to spend a good night's sleep after a busy day in Dublin. The guest house features free parking, wireless Internet access, a dining room, a conservatory and a garden. A lift is also available, so the guests house is disabled-accessible.

With 101 easy recipes to choose from-from breakfast to dessert, including breads and rolls-the Dutch oven might just become the most popular cooking method in your house. Recipes include the Mountain Man Breakfast, Sausage Spinach Wreath, Dutch Oven Stew with spicy Jalapeno Cheese Bread, Caramel Apple Cobbler, Stuffed Pork Roast, Cinnamon Rolls, Dutch Oven Pizza, Apricot Raspberry Glazed Cornish Hens, and White Chili.
We got 2 of these books, one for us and one as a present for someone we bought a dutch oven for. The recipes are easy and yummy.
Great information on how to use a dutch oven, as well as numerous recipes. The recipes are given with oven temps as well. Full of great, tasty recipes!!
not satisfied with the recipes or the information related in this book. I will find somepne who will enjot it I am sure. It just didn't measure up to what I expected....
I am a little disappointed with this purchase. It may be because I am just not experienced enough with dutch oven cooking. I have only used a couple of the recipes in this book and so far the meals have not come out as I hoped. Most of the time it is undercooked. So, that tells me that the time indicated in the book is incorrect or the temperature is not accurate. Either way the book should be accurate. The book is small...NO pictures. I am a picture person, especially for trying things for the first time. I need to know what it should look like as a finished product. I am keeping the book for the simple recipes but most likely going to purchase another book.
The best thing about this book is that the recipes are simple and they don't call for fancy ingredients that you have to make a special trip to the store to find.
