This week on Q&A, our guest is historian and author Timothy Naftali. He discusses the oral history project he conducted during his tenure as Director of the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum in Yorba Linda, California. Between himself and his assistant, Paul Musgrave, there were over 140 interviews performed in various locations throughout the country. He states the goal of the project was to obtain oral histories from members of Richard Nixon's administration as well as other prominent figures from the Nixon era. Most of the histories are available on the library's website nixonlibrary.gov as well as c-span.org. Naftali discusses interviews with White House Special Counsel Charles Colson, Treasury Secretary George Shultz and Acting Attorney General Robert Bork, to name a few. Naftali details the challenges he faced as the first federal director of the museum which was privately run for seventeen years prior to becoming a federal facility administered by the National Archives and Records Administration in 2007.
Timothy Naftali received his undergraduate degree in history from Yale University, an M.A. in international economics from the Johns Hopkins University, and an M.A. and a Ph.D. in history from Harvard University. He was the director of the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum from 2007 until 2011. He taught history at several universities. He was the director of the Miller Center presidential recordings program at the University of Virginia. He has written four books, two of them co-authored with Alexander Fursenko on the Cuban Missile Crisis and Nikita Krushchev.

He recounts details of the exclusive story he reported in the Post about blind Chinese activist Chen Guangchen, and his attempts to leave the country. Chen's release was ultimately granted after negotiations involving then U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. He explains the co-dependency of the U.S.-China relationship and gives his personal assessment of the future of China. Richburg also shares details of the jailing of Communist Party Chief Bo Xilai which he states exposed a lot of "corruption and shenanigans" at high levels of the Chinese Communist Party.

This week on Q&A, our guest is historian and commentator Kevin Phillips to discuss his newly released historical narrative titled "1775: A Good Year for Revolution." Phillips suggests that the year 1775 was a critical launching point of both the Revolutionary War and American independence from Britain. He argues that the year 1776 has incorrectly emerged as a watershed year due to historical hype and confusion. He details American colonial successes such as importing vital cannon and gunpowder, enlisting Indian tribes as allies, and launching a trade war with Britain through the Continental Association as examples of 1775's historical significance. Phillips lists some of his favorite colonial leaders such as Samuel Adams, and ventures his opinions on modern day presidents as well. He discusses portions of his fourteen other books, including bestsellers "American Theocracy" (2006) and "Bad Money" (2008).

This week on Q&A, our guest is Pulitzer Prize winning author Anne Applebaum. She discusses her new historical narrative, "Iron Curtain: The Crushing of Eastern Europe, 1944-1956." Applebaum examines the effects of communist totalitarianism in three countries from the end of World War II to the uprisings of 1956 in the years following Stalin's death. She focuses on East Germany, Poland and Hungary. Applebaum explains how the Soviets began creating institutions, such as the secret police, aimed at undermining civil society and increasing party control. She tells of how Stalin and the Eastern Bloc regimes made use of radio propaganda to shape popular opinion and reinforce communist ideology. She contrasts this with the frustration that communist leadership expressed behind closed doors when their economic and societal reforms didn't achieve expected positive results. Applebaum also looks at the effects the Stalinist system had on everyday people such as shop owners and farmers. She explains how she drew upon newly opened East European archives, interviews and personal accounts which were translated for the first time. She talks about the legacy of the repressive communist system on each of these countries and shares her own experiences in the region, including the night she spent in Berlin in November of 1989, chipping at the Berlin wall with her future husband.

This year's Fallcoming Weekend was blessed with beautiful, sunny weather and new memories made with Hill friends. Highlights included the dedication of the Filius Jazz Archive accompanied by an all-star jazz ensemble featuring current students, professors and guest performers. At the Wellin Museum of Art, guest artist Frohawk Two Feathers (Umar Rashid) presented an exhibit titled "You Can Fall." Other memorable events included a presentation on Hamilton's innovative and interdisciplinary Digital Humanities Initiative, and performances from all five student a cappella groups, including Kirkland's own Special K. Many thanks to all who attended and contributed to the great success of this year's Fallcoming.

Kirkland College was the brainchild of Robert McEwen and the Hamilton board of Trustees. Kirkland was to be the first of a cluster of colleges envisioned to reflect the model of the Claremont Colleges in California. Hamilton was an all male school at the time – McEwen and the board felt that creating a women's college would be a reasonable path in an era in which the concept of co-education was being embraced. Kirkland College was chartered in 1965: its first class entered in 1968. Kirkland brought women to College hill along with a more diverse lifestyle and an innovative philosophy of teaching. Kirkland rounded out the Hamilton curriculum, adding the departments and offerings in the arts, creative writing and social sciences.
Students could take courses at either school.
As a brand new school, Kirkland was heavily dependent on Hamilton financially. Without an endowment Kirkland's finances became more and more precarious. In 1978 Hamilton's President and Board of Trustees decided to merge the two schools. The curriculum remained the same. The legacy of Kirkland changed the Hill and enriched the Hamilton experience.
The Kirkland Archives, Media and Publications Committee aims to ensure records and memories of Kirkland College are aggregated, maintained and made available to alumnae and scholars through the auspices of the Hamilton College Library. Our mission is to identify, document, make accessible, and breathe life into Kirkland's history using new media opportunities. Kirkland College Interactive Archives
Lost Orchard, edited by Jo Pitkin '78 is available for pre-ordering here. More information...
To help perpetuate the Kirkland legacy on College Hill a number of specific initiatives have been established.
Learn more about how you can direct your contribution.
Our Committee was formed in 2007, and exists to support existing alumnae initiatives and facilitate new ones. Getting involved with the Kirkland College community is truly rewarding: we renew old connections, build new relationships, support young talent, and continue to learn and grow.

What Can Architecture Tell Us About Art's Future?
[W]hile some of the design details are still being tweaked, it is now razor-clear that the building will do more to freshen the bond between Manhattan's art and architecture communities than any building since Marcel Breuer's Whitney Museum of American Art opened on Madison Avenue four decades ago.In fact, Ourossoff's article focuses somewhat on how in order to thrive, art communities need architecture that helps drive it forward. I couldn't agree more and can't wait for the New Museum to inaugurate its new space. But what does it mean, really, for a building to drive contemporary culture forward? Nicolai does a nice job of describing how various innovations in the building reflect the mission of the museum, but I wonder if there's an concrete set of criteria by which to measure how architecture influences culture in this way. If one were to look at a series of building would some pattern emerge?
In thinking about how architecture drives the future this morning, I was delighted to see that C. C. Sullivan has offered a list of the top 12 buildings that emerged over the course of 2005 on artinfo.com (which has begun differentiating its banner ads as either "news" or "exhibitions" I was very pleased to notice):
If you haven't seen these works yet, now's the time to add them to your schedule. In their own ways, these works are defining what architecture will become tomorrow. Are you curious about our built future? Then have a look.You can read C.C.'s comments at the link above, but here are the choices (and a few images):
1. Best Civic Building:
Scottish Parliament Building (Holyrood)
Edinburgh, Scotland
Architect: Enric Miralles (EMBT/RMJM)
2. Best Museums:
de Young Museum, San Francisco
and Walker Arts Center Expansion, Minneapolis
Architect: Herzog & de Meuron
3. Best Tower:
Agbar Tower
Architect: Jean Nouvel
4. Best Factory:
BMW Central Plant
Leipzig, Germany
Architect: Zaha Hadid
5. Best Government Offices:
Caltrans District 7 Headquarters
Los Anegeles
Architect: Thom Mayne / Morphosis
6. Best Expansion:
High Museum of Art
Architect: Renzo Piano
7. Best Multi-purpose Arts Building:
Shaw Center for the Arts
Baton Rouge, La.
Architect: Schwartz/Silver Architects
8. Best Memorial:
Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe
Architect: Peter Eisenman
9. Best Housing:
Sanchinarro Mirador
Architect: MVRDV
10. Best House:
Art Collectors' Residence
Architect: Hariri Pontarini Architects
11. Best Hospital:
General Hospital of Ciudad Real
Ciudad Real, Spain
Architect: Ángel Fernández Alba
12. Best Convention Center:
Milan Trade Fair
Milan, Italy
Architect: Massimiliano Fuksas
OK, so it's a bit of a leap from looking at the architecture of the future (which will drive the culture of the future) to making predictions about the art of the future, I know...but, I don't see any immediate patterns (unless the struggle between organic and geometric [i.e, natural and man-made] will be a central theme...)...does anyone else want to take a stab?

Smart Start Director John Gerstenmier retiring, committee searching for new director
SALISBURY — It's been quite a ride for John Gerstenmier, executive director of Smart Start Rowan, but that's all coming to an end. He will retire from the agency this summer after five years as the head of Smart Start.
"I've had a marvelous ride. I've just been blessed," said Gerstenmier, who plans to return to the ministry.
Smart Start Rowan provides early childhood education and health support, including dental and physical. It offers development screenings, family support and resources for children from birth to age 5, as well as resources for child care professionals. A search committee made up of Smart Start board members is in the process of finding a new director.
Gerstenmier has had more than 20 years of service as an ordained minister.
Although he never left the ministry, Gerstenmier has had to divide his time.
"I serve as executive director and for myself, it's a ministry. I'm ordained clergy and have served large and small congregations over the years. It's been a blessing to do what I do as a minister," he said.
Gerstenmier said he wants to return to ministry, but he may take on a role in the nonprofit sector. Gerstenmier has no immediate plans to head a church, but he is awaiting an answer from God on his future.
"He hasn't confided in me yet," he said with a laugh.
"At this point, I am not looking to take a full-time pastorate, but looking forward to returning to pastoral ministry in the supply or interim basis."
If he does return to the pulpit, or takes on the nonprofit world, it would harken to his days when he served on the Smart Start board in Union County, was chair of First Steps in Pageland, S.C., and served as a Presbyterian minister.
In the five years that Gerstenmier has worked in Rowan County, he's been commuting from his home in Waxhaw. He and his wife, Lynn, were unable to sell their home with the collapse of the housing market.
Gerstenmier said he jokingly tells people he lives in Rowan County, but sleeps in Waxhaw.
"That was not our original plan. We weren't able to sell, so we continued to commute," he said.
He's grateful to his staff. "Even if I weren't there, I'd feel secure in knowing the legacy will be there. The staff will ensure the partnership will continue to serve the community and its families," he said.
The staff, he said, is dedicated to the young children and their families.
There are goals Gerstenmier is proud the agency has accomplished, including being able to push ahead despite a decline in funding.
"Every year, we've continued to see an increase. That's a reflection on the professional child-care providers, those in the homes and in the larger centers and then our technical assistance staff," he said.
"We were significantly cut back two years ago. We are about replenishing both staff and programs. I'd like to have that in place before I say goodbye," Gerstenmier said.
Gerstenmier said he's pleased with the ongoing partnerships with agencies like the Rowan Health Department, Rowan United Way and private providers.
Throughout his time with Smart Start, Gerstenmier has established and maintained a range of professional collaborations with area and state agencies and nonprofits including Rowan County Clergy Support Group, North Carolina Child Care Resource and Referral Council and Rowan Salisbury Schools LINKS Core Management Team.
He's also appreciative of the support from the community, especially the business sector that has allowed employees to serve on the Smart Start board, which is made up of 27 individuals.
There were will be an overlap in the time that Gerstenmier plans to leave and when a new director steps in, he said. The board hopes to have the new director in place by May or June.
Jimmy Greene, a board member and past president, said Gerstenmier submitted a letter with the intent to retire in January.
"He has been a wonderful executive director. He came with a ministerial background and has used this as a mission. I think he feels a calling elsewhere for his future plans," Greene said.
He said Gerstenmier led Smart Start through what was probably one of the most difficult times.
"We had a changing of the guard. When the budget got crunched in Raleigh, there was a lot of concern of where we were going to go and how we were going to be funded. We were affected by the change. John helped steer us through that. He was the right man for the job," Greene said.
Smart Start Rowan has administered more than $19.6 million in services to Rowan County's children during Gerstenmier's tenure. He was also able to secure the agency with a number of grants and other funding.
"We are going to move forward and hopefully be strong as ever," Greene said.
Greene said the agency has had more than 90 applicants and the board will whittle that down to a workable number.
"Hopefully in the next couple of weeks we'll be able to set up some interviews," he said.

Read the transcript of Harry's video.
Harry D. Raduege, Jr., is chairman of the Deloitte Center for Cyber Innovation. The Washington, D.C.-based Center focuses on developing leading cyber solutions for clients grappling with the need for secure, interoperable information systems - whether in business, government or on the battlefield.
Harry retired after serving 35 years in the U.S. military. He worked in the areas of technology, including telecommunications, space, information and network operations. He served more than 17 years in joint duty assignments. In his last position, he led Department of Defense netcentric operations as the director of the Defense Information Systems Agency. In that role, Harry directed planning, engineering and implementation of interoperable communications and intelligence systems serving the needs of the president, the secretary of defense, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, combatant commanders and the military services. Notably, he led efforts to restore communications to the Pentagon following the September 11 terrorist attacks; upgraded presidential communications; and led the successful expansion of the department's Global Information Grid through a $1 billion transformational communications program.
Harry was also appointed by the secretary of defense as the commander of the Joint Task Force for Global Network Operations, and as deputy commander for Global Network Operations and Defense for the U.S. Strategic Command. In these roles, he was the first commander assigned responsibility for directing the operation and defense of the Global Information Grid to ensure timely and secure netcentric capabilities across the entire department. Harry also served as the manager of the National Communications System and led the nation's efforts to prioritize the restoration of telecommunications throughout New York City and the Pentagon following the 9/11 attacks.
Prior to his last assignments, Harry directed command and control systems for North American Aerospace Defense Command, U.S. Space Command and Air Force Space Command. He also served as the chief information officer for all three commands, was the architect for computer network defense and attack capabilities established within the Department of Defense, and was the national spokesman for the department during the successful "Year 2000" computer rollover efforts. Harry directed command and control communications at the U.S. Central Command for three years, including the relocation efforts required after the 1996 Khobar Towers bombing in Saudi Arabia. Earlier, he served as the first commander of the Air Force C4 Agency and was the Joint Chiefs of Staff architect for all satellite communications supporting more than 500,000 deployed military members during the Gulf War in 1991.

Incredible tonal versatility on a distinctly American axe.
Among the American Standard Stratocaster guitars, the HSS Electric Guitar with Rosewood Fingerboard model is the hot rod of the bunch, with more output and warmth from its Custom Shop Fat '50s Single-Coil pickups and Diamondback humbucking pickup. The S-1 switch is removed to keep it simple, but don't worry - Fender kept key features such as the hand-rolled fingerboard edges and staggered tuning machines, and they added several new features, including an improved bridge with bent-steel saddles and a copper-infused high-mass block for increased resonance and sustain. Other features include tinted neck, rosewood fingerboard, satin-finished neck back, thinner finish undercoat that lets the body breathe and improves resonance, and Fender Tolex case.
A guitar that gives you every tonal option you could hope for, and then some. Make it yours today.

Comments about Fender American Standard Stratocaster HSS Electric Guitar with Rosewood Fretboard:
Great Guitar , feels good , great tone , I'm very pleased with the guitar. I have several other guitars, LP's & Tele's & Strats , and this one is just what you would expect. I played it out live two nights as soon as I got it! I've really become a strat fan in the last 10yrs. I really like Fender's approach to Value in their equipment, and the working Musician. And Musicians Friend is great to work with too !

Comments about Fender American Standard Stratocaster HSS Electric Guitar with Rosewood Fretboard:
I've played Gibsons since the 70's and thought I'd try a strat. It obviously is a completely different guitar than what I was used to. I'm really happy with it. The finish is excellent and the sound is very good. I had some weird issues with it when it arrived. The case had some cuts in it, the instructions were all in Spanish and there was no tremolo bar. I also found the strings were not bullets, which are what are supposed to be in it from the factory. I don't know if this was a return or what. Musicians Friend offered to send me another guitar, but I declined since it seems fine. I did get a bar from Fender directly. I have also decked the bridge with 5 springs and I'm real happy with it.

Comments about Fender American Standard Stratocaster HSS Electric Guitar with Rosewood Fretboard:
I did not buy this guitar here on MF, but from a local music/online retailer I happen to know. I noticed there were no reviews, so I decided to write one.
When I opened my up my box and case, and first laid eyes on my baby, a huge smile, and child like eagerness to plug her in and play her immediately was overwhelming. Knowing what I do about guitars and owning quite a few (Gibs LP's, 62'81'96'Strats)I knew after picking her up for the first time that she would need some adjustments. This is common in any new guitar. I have never come across a guitar that has been "ready to play" out of the box.
I got the Triple Sunburst and the paint job is perfect. The guitar comes with strings that should be used as cheese slicers. So, you will need to change them. (I use .11's by Elixir.) You will need to open the back and adjust the bridge and intonate her. You may even have to adjust the truss rod (it is rare that it is off from a new purchase, but it can happen due to fast temperature changes where it was stored, than shipped) If you do not know how to do this, and you are not mechanically inclined, I recommend contacting your local music/guitar stores luthier (guitar tech), who will be more than happy to help you for a small fee. If you are so inclined to advance in your efforts, you can go on youtube and there are videos on how to do so. (Just make sure you are willing to pay in tears, and out of pocket if you break something. Also, have the right tools.) After the tweaks and elbow grease, Leonora (I name all of my guitars) plays like a charm and the bad B that she is. She has great tone, sound, and the pickups are great. I have had friends flip out the tex mex PUPS and wind up putting them back becuase of their tone. It is all preference. The Diamond PUP screams and the tone changes are pronounced, and immediate with the tone knobs, and PUP selector. I play her through a 65' Twin Reverb and she loves getting plugged in. How do I know? She tells me every time I turn her on. What is a bonus when buying this guitar is that it comes with a solid, hardshell case.
I highly recommend this HSS Strat! You will not be disappointed.

The BMC Racing Team announced its roster for Sunday's Liège-Bastogne-Liège that includes world road champion Philippe Gilbert and Greg Van Avermaet, who has posted a half-dozen top 10 finishes in spring classics and semi-classics.
Gilbert A Winner In 2011
The 261.5-kilometer race in Belgium caps the Ardennes classics. Gilbert won Liège-Bastogne-Liège in 2011 to go along with a third-place finish in 2010 and fourth in 2009. He finished 15th in Flèche Wallonne on Wednesday. Van Avermaet did not compete in Flèche Wallonne, but has placed a career-best seventh at this race (in 2011) in two previous starts.
Comments from BMC Racing Team President/General Manager Jim Ochowicz, Directeur Sportif John Lelangue and Gilbert and Van Avermaet from a pre-race press conference Friday in Chaudfontaine, Belgium, are available on the team's Audio Line.

Just some guidelines to work with:
There are a number of different forums on these message boards - the full list is on the 'forum index' page. Please use the appropriate forum when starting a new topic.
Personal topics are threads that, whilst posted in public forum, are intended for a discussion between only a few members. These kinds of topics are frowned on and will be locked/removed as soon as they are discovered. Public posts should be open and inviting to all members. Personal discussions among a select group of users should take place in private message - use your messaging facilities accessed from your community home page.
Sometimes people can write something that you may find offensive. Before launching into a public condemnation though, please consider that the person may not have intended to cause offense. It is very easy to misinterpret a post on forums. There is absolutely no need to resort to insults. Respect others' views even if you disagree with them.
Advertising for the sake of advertising is not allowed. Posts that are off topic will be deleted.
Links to relevant news sources are encouraged. In particular, when posting injury news please provide the source for the information. Links that are off topic are not allowed and will be deleted.
What is a troll? It's a person who posts something which is bound to stir people up and then sits back and watches as dozens of people jump in and start arguing. Sometimes trolls get their friends to join in or post under different names. Generally they will do anything it takes to get attention. If you see a message like this, please try and refrain from replying to it - it may well be deleted anyway.
Power-posting is when board members post 'empty' messages to the board, in order to simply increase their number of posts more quickly. Examples of power-posting are replying to a message with only 'LOL' or 'I agree', but failing to contribute anything further to the discussion. If you reply to a message, make sure you have something to say. Power posting clutters up the forums, clutters up the 'new posts' function, and uses extra bandwidth and server space. While we don't mind people using bandwidth to chat usefully on the board, we do mind people using it just because they want a more impressive 'post counter'. If you're not sure if you're power-posting, take a moment and think it over before you post. If all your post contains is a 'LOL' or an emoticon, it's a power-post. If it adds something to the discussion, it isn't.
Spam is a blight upon the face of the net. Nobody likes it. However, it is hard to avoid. Despite our best efforts, you will very occasionally see spam on the forums. Complaining about spam in public increases noise, but not signal. It may make you feel better, but it doesn't help. Mail Admin who will remove the spam.

Officer Cecilia Lerma had seen enough.
As an officer for the Arizona Department of Public Safety, Officer Lerma was troubled by the disproportionate fatality rate in automobile accidents involving Latinos. Of the 1,179 traffic fatalities in Arizona in 2005, Hispanics accounted for 26 percent, while representing just 29 percent of the state's population.
They were chilling scenes: Alcohol-related crashes. Children sitting on their parents' lap not wearing seat belts. The vehicle is involved in a rollover accident. Bodies are ejected, resulting in a fatality or several fatalities.
"I remember those situations all too well," Officer Lerma says. "It did something to me where I wanted to make a difference."
In 2006, she was given that opportunity. The Governor's Office of Highway Safety implemented "La Protectora," a proactive Hispanic-focused traffic safety outreach program. Its goal: to reduce the disproportionate number of Hispanic surnamed drivers and victims involved in traffic-related collisions.
Officer Lerma was a DPS patrol officer in Pima County for six years and an investigator with the Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Bureau for five years. As "La Protectora," she gained key insight into her new responsibilities.
"My life was impacted when I stopped (to investigate an accident)," Officer Lerma says. "In my new post I was able to do something about it. I knew then it was the education portion that was going to make the difference. It was an exciting opportunity to make that difference before something bad happened."
Officer Lerma's activities are designed to educate and encourage positive traffic safety behavior and to build better relations between the community and law enforcement agencies. She emphasizes prevention rather than focusing on enforcement measures by taking the bilingual program to local neighborhood and town hall meetings, educational functions, media events and to other community-related forums.
Officer Lerma grew up in Marana, north of Tucson. The family had to travel into the city to do its grocery shopping. On those trips she would see patrolmen on the freeway. But her major influence was former Officer Ed Hendricks, whom she heard speak at public safety events around Marana and eventually became a friend of the family.
"I always thought that could be me doing that job," recalls Officer Lerma, who says she was in awe of the officer she said resembled John Wayne. "I wanted to be a police officer, but here I was, a really tiny Hispanic female at 5-foot-1, 100 pounds. So I decided to try it. I just had to get it out of my system. I applied, all the time running and doing pushups so I could become a quality police officer."
The hard work paid off in 1995 when she joined DPS as a highway patrolman. She was stationed in Tucson and, as she says, "went straight to the road." That's when her education process began.
"I did a lot of interpreting of death notifications for Hispanics who had a family member involved in an accident," she says. "It was really heartbreaking. I was just doing my job, but I became really concerned how notices were delivered to families. I wanted it to be perfect. That was an important aspect of the job."
As "La Protectora," Officer Lerma's job now is to educate Hispanic drivers and thereby eliminate the need to deliver death notifications. In 2007, the number of fatalities among Hispanics dipped below 300 to 299.
"Culturally, I believe that God protects us all," Officer Lerma says. "When I plan to be in a community, I bring the faith component into my program. There is a blessing before an event kicks off. The priest walks around and at the car-seat check, he blesses them. That means so much to our culture."

A brief description of Document Backup from Insofta: After reviewing hundreds of backup programs, I didn't believe I'd find one that could offer something new. But I did.
Document Backup from Insofta has a stylish design. Not surprised? The program has a modern look and a
user-friendly interface.
Document Backup is intended for regular backups of selected files and folders. The program is packed with all the features that a modern backup application should have. There is a handy wizard to create new backup projects. Projects are easily editable and include many options that you can use to tune-up the process.
Now Document Backup can handle files that are open by other applications. Even if your files are locked by the operating system and can't be read by a regular backup utility, Document Backup will be able to read and back them up through the VSS subsystem, available in XP and Vista.
Several compression methods are supported. You can choose a good trade-off between the speed of the backup and the disk space required.
Strong AES encryption is used for maximum security.
Two modes of operation are supported: full and incremental. In the incremental mode, the program backups only the files in selected folders that have been created or updated since the last backup session. This can dramatically increase the backup speed.
Document Backup can create backup archives on local disks, remote network locations, FTP-server or on writable CD/DVD/Blu-Ray/HD-DVD disks. Archives automatically get divided by CD-sized volumes if needed.
A built-in scheduler allows you to start your backup tasks automatically at specified times. The program
writes comprehensive log files that you can review at any time.
An interesting feature of Document Backup is its ability to put shortcuts of backup tasks onto your Desktop, which can be very useful if you run the tasks manually.

Ty Stone album release and a pleasant surprise…
Let me start by saying I am NOT a concert photographer nor a music critic in any way but I did shoot a concert recently. I'm not going to spend alot of time on Ty Stone - what could I possibly say? The guy is a solid musician, he's backed by Kid Rock, his career is set. I was invited by a member of his management after I requested a portrait session so I went to the show to snag a few shots and possibly meet Ty in person; I quickly realized that after a slew of press events and commercial shoots down in Nashville that I would probably not be the first thing on his radar. I was, however, pleasantly surprised before Ty took the stage. Paulina Jayne, Brandon Calhoon, and Doop and the Inside Outlaws opened the evening. I still can't get over the fact that Paulina is only 16! She played a heartfelt, boot stomping set with a great band and sang her heart out. Brandon Calhoon belted out some sweet southern rock that I haven't heard live in long time; his wailing guitar and resonating vocals made my camera shake. Empassioned would be an understatement. Doop and the Inside Outlaws wowed the crowd as usual with some bluesy, country rock that was exceptional. Clever lyrics and outstanding work by the band as a single unit kept me at the stage edge longer than I expected. These three bands are trying to carve a line for themselves and reach the limelight, and they still have a lot to say and a lot of fight in them. It was really great to see a group of gifted musicians play like crazy and put on fantastic shows. I find Detroit endlessly fascinating when it comes to music. The city where Motown was born is also home to spectacular Rock legends and pinnacles of Rap and Country - it's a music melting pot, and it offers endless opportunities that were not afforded to me in other cities that I've lived and worked in. Check out the collection of shots I took. I think you'll feel like you are right there with me, seeing some excellent musicians play their hearts out. You may want to update your playlist with their music too.
