PICKERINGTON, Ohio -- Following a successful showing at the initial qualifying stage, the U.S. Speedway World Cup Team is focused on the next round of FIM Monster Energy Speedway World Cup competition on July 15 in King's Lynn, Great Britain, the American Motorcyclist Association reports.
Managed by former FIM World Champion and current U.S. Champion Billy Hamill, the U.S. team of Ryan Fisher, Billy Janniro, Gino Manzares and Ricky Wells advanced at the May 20 round in Miskolc, Hungary. Greg Hancock, 2011 FIM World Champion, is expected to join the team for the next stage at King's Lynn.
"We went to Hungary with a vision of winning despite being without our No. 1 rider Greg Hancock," Hamill said. "As I explained to the riders, though, if we could win without Greg, it would be a huge statement, and it wasn't easy, but we never gave up and we won it in the final four races. Before those final four heats, I pulled them together and we talked about how it was time to deliver as a team, and they certainly did with two wins, a second and a third."
Hamill gave a lot of the credit to U.S. Team Coordinator Steve Evans.
"Planning and preparation were key to this victory, and without the foresight and work put in by Steve, none of this would have been possible," Hamill said. "He put together a unit of European personnel with Laurence Rodgers and others to help coordinate this trek across the globe. It truly was a team effort by all involved -- riders, mechanics, sponsors, the AMA and many other great people."
If the U.S. team wins at King's Lynn, it will advance directly to the July 20 finale in Prague, Czech Republic. A second- or third-place finish at King's Lynn will send the team to a race-off on July 18, also in Prague.
The FIM Speedway World Cup features six total rounds and 14 countries, bringing together the best speedway motorcycle racers in the world. The teams compete for ultimate bragging rights in the "Olympics" of this oval-track sport where the bikes run without brakes. Contested since 1960, the event was re-launched under a new format in 2001.
The winner of the Speedway World Cup collects the Ove Fundin Trophy, named after the five-time world champion.

Visit Solo Slut Eva
Eva Luxuria is the star of Solo Slut Eva. She's a stunning woman and you'll be eager to check out her website as soon as you lay eyes on her. You get a nice mix of content and there's a little something for just about everyone.
Eva is part of the Solo Slut Girls Network and there are a number of other hot and horny girls that you can check out with your membership, like Karen Fisher, Claudia Marie and Celeste Fox. You also get access to more content (mostly amateur) in the "bonus sites" section, like sites featuring Anna Miller and Brooke Anderson.
Eva's movies and pictures are mixed together, but it's always easy to tell what you're getting. However, what's not so great about the navigation in my opinion is that the vids often come in two or more clips that are not necessarily posted near one another. Even the photo sets are often split into multiple subsets that can appear across two or more pages in no clear order.
I counted the content in terms of complete movies and photo sets rather than their parts, so although it looks like there's more, Eva actually has 23 videos to stream and download. I came across many in HD, but quality varies although the worst still offer good-quality playback. The 46 photo sets bring you high-res images. You can view them in slideshows and download them in Zip files.
You can catch Eva posing in sexy lingerie and then watch as she takes herself to orgasm. After that, you can heat things up a bit by watching her fool around with other girls or by looking on as she gives some lucky guy a blowjob. If you feel like something different, you can check out the scenes in which Eva dominates submissive males. There's some candid material to be had as well.
The dates on the content are recent, but I get the impression that what they're really doing is rotating it. So it's really a good thing that you can explore those other sites and they give you a lot more porn to consume. In the end, though, Eva Luxuria's material is in limited supply on Solo Slut Eva, so it's probably not going to hold your attention for long.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

Kaitrin and Erik both live in the North East and flew to Los Angeles to be married. The wedding took place in Malibu at the "Inn of the seventh ray" which is nestled in a beautiful canyon.
The Inn is surrounded by horse ranches and bordered by a lazy creek. The weather was perfect and both the bride and groom looked amazing. The wedding colors were peach, yellow and orange. The theme was "For ever and a day." After the ceremony, the guests dinned and danced the nigh away. For their grand exit, Kaitrin and Erik ran through a tunnel of sparklers. Love this!
Thanks to Juan Turcios Photographer who captured this lovely event.

Here's a link round up of what I've been reading. As usual, I am drawn toward news about our food and our environment and a few good news stories that don't get emphasized enough, such as the fact that the deficit is falling fast or the news that Native Tribes' protests over illegal use of their land by the government and corporate forces can be successful and are not a waste of time. As Noam and Howard have told us, when we get together in mass and protest, it works. When we become sour, bitter and defeated we give up and the 1% win. We can't let that happen, not for our grandchildren's sake. Laughing at the 1%'s propagandist nonsense helps too!
The Deficit Fell Faster Last Year Than Any Since The End Of World War II
"The deficit may be falling, but hardship isn't necessarily following suit. Unemployment still stands at 6.6 percent, and the long-term unemployed make up nearly 40 percent of that figure, yet Republicans let their benefits lapse over concerns that it would cost too much to extend them. Incomes have been stagnant or falling, making it hard for many to make ends meet, but Congress reduced food stamps twice and welfare benefits are quickly losing value."
"English actor Patrick Stewart appeared on The Colbert Report Monday to lampoon the ongoing series of fake Obamacare horror stories."
"Speaking about the new labels, Mrs. Obama said that, "Our guiding principle here is very simple, that you as a parent and a consumer should be able to walk into your local grocery store, pick up an item off the shelf and be able to tell whether it's good for your family." Mrs. Obama is absolutely right. We have the right to know what's in the food that we eat, and if it's actually healthy for us. But to achieve that goal, we need to go beyond a new nutrition facts label, and start labeling ALL of the things that are in the foods that we eat."
"To hear the pesticide and junk food marketers of the world tell it, anyone who questions the value, legitimacy or safety of GMO crops is naïve, anti-science and irrational to the point of hysteria. But how long can Monsanto ignore the mounting actual scientific evidence that their technology is not only failing to live up to its promises, it's putting public health at risk?"
"Last year Canada was swept by the aboriginal-led Idle No More protest movement, building on years of aboriginal struggles against resource projects, the most high-profile of which has targeted Enbridge's proposed Northern Gateway pipeline that would carry Alberta tar sands to the western coast of British Columbia. "Native land claims scare the hell out of investors," an analyst with global risk consultancy firm Eurasia Group has noted, concluding that First Nations opposition and legal standing has dramatically decreased the chances the Enbridge pipeline will be built."

Horrible tone quality
This review is from: Sangean Compact-Size Utility Worksite Radio LB-100
Pros: Good tuning system. Robust construction.
Cons: The tone quality of this radio make it unsuitable for anything other than music. If you want to listen to voice, don't buy this radio. The bass is so low that it distorts the sound at anything above half volume. This makes it unusable for listening at more than a few feet away . Workplace radio? I don't think so.
Other Thoughts: Contacted the manufacturer and they admitted that the radio is useless for listening to voice broadcasts and that it was designed for just music. If it was designed for music only, why does it have an AM band? There suggestion was to give it to someone who only listens to music. I have a suggestion for the manufacturer. PUT IN A TONE CONTROL!

River danger, full water deliveries a mixed blessing as above-average Sierra snowpack starts to melt
By: Gus Thomson, Journal Staff Writer
For 22 years, Bowman's Bonnie Lightner has been enjoying a front-row seat from her home overlooking the North Fork American River to the ebbs and flows of the Sierra snowmelt. This past week things turned sensational. With the spring snow melt and rains continuing, Lightner watched as the water that continually spills over the Lake Clementine-North Fork dam began to flow more heavily. She judges by how many "dividers" at the top of the dam are obscured by the water and by Wednesday morning, the water was all the way across. That's a rare occasion, Lightner said, and indicative of the amount of water now pouring downstream from the mountains. This past week's rain caused rivers to rise but nothing like past events like January 1997's storm that rose nearly to Highway 49 at the American River confluence. Another major storm occurred in 1995, when heavy rains and clogged creeks in the Roseville area led to flooding, declaration of Placer County as a disaster area and a visit by then-President Bill Clinton. Up in the Sierra, water forecasters have been attempting to determine the impact of the colder weather, sudden increase in spring storms and heavier-than-normal snowpack will have. Late-season snow and rain has meant a huge jump in Placer County's Sierra snowpack to 154 percent of the average for this time of year, Placer County Water Agency reported last week. Pacific Gas & Electric Co. made the latest measurements Monday and snowpack received another boost Tuesday and Wednesday when another storm moved through. The measurements were made in the high Sierra watershed above the agency's Hell Hole and French Meadows reservoirs. Steve Jones, agency power systems manager said average water content was an impressive 30 inches on a snow depth of 64.9 inches. He reiterated his comments made a month earlier when the snowpack had crept up to just more than 100 percent of average. "This tells us that we should expect a good year for water supply, power generation and public recreation," Jones said. But a PG&E water analyst was urging caution. "Care should be taken in putting too much weight on the percent of average May numbers," Gary Freeman said. "They suggest a delayed melt cycle for this time of year, rather than a large snowpack." Reservoirs around the state have risen to above-average levels. Shasta, near Redding, is now at 109 percent while Folsom is at 107 percent. The increase reflects a 50 percent jump from early April snow surveys. Water content was 103 percent of average on the American River watershed in Placer County and 94 percent of average to the north on the Yuba-Bear river watersheds. With recent rains and warming weather increasing snowmelt, forecasts from the agency are for Hell Hole Reservoir on the American River's Middle Fork to be full by June 1 and French Meadow Reservoir to rise to 86 percent of capacity. With melting snowpack and plenty of snow, agency General Manager David Breninger said conditions on the river could change quickly for people in or near the American or its tributaries. Breninger said people should be using extreme caution when near water that is not only very high and cold, but also subject to swift, turbulent flows and debris. On the plus side, Breninger said the agency expects to have adequate water supplies for drinking and irrigation needs throughout the agency's customer base.

Some people really amaze me. These parents are extremely stupid. But then again, in my opinion most parents are dumb that let young kids fly alone. Do we know how old the kids are? I just love hearing stories of 5 year olds flying by themselves. The kids aren't even allowed to cross the street by themselves, but mommy and daddy will send them on their way, so that they can go to bermuda alone while junior is babysat by his grandparents. Parents, please think about letting your children fly alone. To many things like this can go wrong.

As far as I am concerned the parents should stop pointing fingers at the airlines, and start pointing them at their relatives. Case in point the child flying for I think Michigan to San Diego who's flight got canceled and he got put on the next one, the grandparents were notified presumably before the child got on the plane to Diego. The grandparents had plenty of time to call the father, bs averted. Also it is absolutely moronic that the parent told HP to get the kid to BOS or else. He was willing to sacrifice the life of his child and everyone else on the plane trying to get to BOS a day sooner or whatever weather permitted. I'd like to get my hands on idiots like this. Get off America Wests back there not all that bad.

I don't wanna sound like the devil's advocate but I don't blame them. They are probably just ignorant about aviation/airlines and worried about their kid. If I were a parent that didn't know jack about flying and an airline, after already losing several UMs, told me my kid wouldn't be going where he/she was supposed to I would probably get worried.

Unfortunately, some other airline really needs to have a disaster or a crisis to take the pressure off America West. The loss of life is really the only thing that puts things in perspective for many people. But, then again, many people like those UMs' parents are just too damn dumb!

PArents need to look in the mirror to see the problem. If they can't travel with the minor child - then don't send the minor child. It's called personal responsiblity, but in the USA that concept has been lost. Now it has become the airlines fault. The airlines did not force divorced parents to move to separate areas of the country, but it has now become their responsiblity to see to it that the kids get there unmolested and on time.

If I would have heard the parents threaten AWE like that, I would have punched them. They have no right to control an AIRLINE. That flight had other passengers too.

First of all, being in the industry I wouldn't make up a story like this for fun. Also, the parents were instructed to drive the hour and a half to BDL or arrange the pick-up of the um back in CMH. They refused to drive to get them and in light of all the bad publicity they jumped on it. A high level AWA executive came down and told ops to get that flight to BOS, period. He said AWA can't have any more bad UM publicity. I agree with goingboeing on this one, what a tradgedy that parents would be able to dictate operational policy to a US major carrier.

First,it is not always possible for parents to accompany their children to where they go.If,for example,both are working and cannot leave their office,the kid must go unaccompanied.But then,the parents should accept that the airline is responsible for the safe delivery of their kid to destination and that ONLY the airline has the authority to decide when a flight can be safely conducted.You can't tell a pilot "fly my kid there or I'm going to the press" when YOU are safely on the ground,in your living-room and THE PILOT is up there at 5000FT,dealing with a storm or something like that.If the pilot says then that he considers it is not safe to land and that it is safer to go back to the departure point,he probably knows better ....

Yesterday I took my cousin and aunt to JFK for their B6 flight to BUF. The flight was scheduled to leave at 5:20, but because of problems with the crew, the EDT went from 5:20 to 5:50 to 6:30. When they switched it to 7:30, some guy held up the comment forms and yelled "ANY ONE NEED ONE OF THESE?" I felt bad for the gate agents, trying their best to smile through out the whole ordeal. jetBlue was really accomodating to the abudance of delays, putting out coffee, soda and snacks out for the pax. People really need to be quiet and keep their voices for a real problem.

hastaroth...I've got the solution for both parents having to work and not being able to take time off...have them both live in the same city! That way, they can see the child when their schedules permit. Sorry to sound so heartless, but if the kid's important to you, despite a divorce, then sacrifice the career and live in the same city with the child. People wouldn't dream of putting their kid in a taxi and sending them across town alone, yet they don't think twice about putting them on a plane and sending them across the country. Hell, they even complain because they have to pay an extra charge to the airline to handle the UM.

I think that HP did a very good thing by contacting the parents and giving them the situation. What they probably should've done is said "The flight your kid is on is delayed due to weather, and you can pick up your kid at (insert time here)." I don't think they should have asked if it was ok, (Granted, it was a nice thing to do) adn they should've just gone after the storms cleared. HP does something RIGHT, and they still get hacked at.. Geez

Vol. 5: S.O.S. Mesdemoiselles
Fortunately, things gear up a little for this last installment! It starts with a Bang! with the French national lolita, France Gall, in another song sung on the same backing track to her classic "Teenie Weenie Boppie," but with different lyrics, although still from Serge "Big Bad Wolf" Gainsbourg - "Bloody Jack" . . . just as good as the previous, maybe even better and less girly!

Vol. 3: C'est la Mode:
Now, you're talking! Right smack in the middle of "minet's" world down the champs élysées from the drugstore Publicis, Dominique Walter affectionately slurs about little homely chicks in the Serge Gainsbourg penned well-loved classic, "Les Petits Boudins" (little girl dogs). This is the type you always bump into while dancing in a club or waiting in a bistrot. Not Valérie Lagrange, a part-time actress, she's also a beaut and she sings it with fuzz under her "lalalas" in "Ce Que Je Suis" (What I am)!
Ronnie the king is back with this psychedelic pop ballad, "De l' Autre Côté du Miroir" (the other side of the mirror), a mini-masterpiece again from his best Ep from '68.

Vol.2: À tout casser!
The model 'minet' guy pictured on the cover even looks so like a young skinnier Bertrand Burgalat, the head of today's #1 French Pop label, Tricatel. It's embarrassing! Was that on purpose? Pow!
Ronnie fires the record with his fuzzed-out version of the classic garage anthem "I can only give you everything' again" with totally different lyrics, this time a social commentary about the uselessness of studying while you can make more money singing "Chante."
The beauuutiful (oh, those eyes!) lady singer and part time actress Marie Laforêt gives us a cover of, again one of Dylan's, "I Want You," in the Marianne Faithful way, "D' être à vous (to be yours)." But one of the choicest cuts goes to the legendary Fleurs de Pavot (Marijuana Flowers!), who were first called Les Bourgeois de Calais during their early Beat period before a producer renamed them after the current flower-power trend. They are the ones frequently pictured as the typical fake hippie club scenesters in book essays on the sixties, without ever being identified--the latest being Rhino's "Psychedelic Trip" by Bisbort & Puterbaugh. (Check the photo on page 178!)
"Pourquoi l'amour à deux" (Why be two in love), is a superb organized dance beat number with Taxman guitar! Les Fizz is a typical girl-group done French style, singing lyrics to the instrumental "Super 4" by French Jazzman, Jacques Denjean (author of the classic "play Bach") "Un enfant," and not too wild.

I've wanted to review this album because this series is so typical of the French pop music from the sixties that I've been previously describing in my articles. It was opportunistically inspired by previous private comp's like Ils sont fous ces Gaulois and Swinging Mesdemoiselles, and the official breakthrough comp' : Wizzz! Psychorama Français. Put out by major label Universal alongside another major label series called Femmes de Paris, it tries to cash in on the recent interest instigated by Brit critics, most notably "Mojo" magazine (as always, French sheep have to wait for the seal of approval from the English authorities in order to launch any type of official marketing project). Sasha Monett of the Swinging Mesdemoiselles has been contacted to conceive the next volume three of this particular series and there's more to come, like a special volume on French Freakbeat next year (2004).
Vincent Palmer, ex-guitarist/leader of Bijou, a French band equivalent of the Flamin' Groovies and Dr. Feelgood from the late seventies punk years (and a rather cheesy band from today's standpoint among punk-retro rockers), is the mastermind behind Pop À Paris. He's also a staff writer at retro-magazine "Juke Box," which I've mentioned before in some of my previous articles. His official version is that he decided to compile these records from his own collection that he had randomly collected, while searching through old jumbo sales in salvation army shops and bric-à-brac secondhand bazars all over the country during his touring years. Like I said, I suspect a more mercantile decision with the opportunistic inclusion of Pierre Cardin models displaying couture and swagger on each cover and CD gatefolds (some sort of deal-sponsoring from the famous fashion Maison, no doubt), which are ultimately out of place here (real amateurs would've preferred original pics from the artists and document photos of the original minets, with French dollies swingin' on the dancefloor of the Paris discotheques like the Bus Palladium or Regine's)!

The French Connection: The Origins of the '60s French Beat Scene
(reedited and corrected from a May 2002 article in "the Lance Monthly on the net") by Astro le Mocker
Parody and satire are vital elements in the creation of French rock ever since Boris Vian said the only way to adapt it in the French culture is to treat it as a joke, doing it the comic way. In my opinion, this highly intellectual affirmation has plagued French rock ever since!
The first French rock'n'roll record was made in 1956 by a bunch of jazzmen : An EP by Henry Cording (... En "Recording", get it?) and his Original Rock and Roll Boys; a great parody, it was done by jazz creole singer Henri Salvador (who co-founded the Bossa Nova sound in the late fifties...) with songs like "Rock'n'Roll Mops" and "Rock Hoquet", they were arranged by the famous French jazzman and soundtrack composer Michel Legrand. It's only natural 'cause R'n'R was for a long time considered a Jazz hybrid in that music circle before French teens were even aware of it, and it was played in cellar clubs around Paris and in the chic holiday resorts by jazz orchestras as a new dance craze alongside the Cha-Cha-Cha or the Mambo. That EP concept was created by Boris Vian, a famous Jazz-Hot trumpeter himself and the Cult existentialist writer-friend of philospher and movement leader Jean Paul Sartre. The existentialists, by the way, were the original inspiration behind the Beatnik movement.
Since then, the French rockers were always handicapped by the pseudo intellectual dictat here that forced them to treat it with irony and sing deliberate campy lyrics, as opposed to beltin' out straight-forward Rock'n'roll. Because of the French street "chansons'" tradition of always putting more emphasis on texts rather than on the music itself (meaning it has to be intelligent and "thinked upon") this custom has prevented music in general from coming straight from the heart as an impulse. This is directly opposed to what R'n'R is all about in the first place! We all know that R'n'R is more of a mixture of energy and feeling . . . a kind of brut expression of the heart, right?!
Actually, the first genuine, French rock record was released in 1958: "D'où viens-tu Billie Boy?" a 45 sung by one, Claude Piron, then covered by Richard Anthony and especially by Danyel Gérard, the first potential rocker before he was drafted into the army. By the time he was released from the Service, the dreadful Johnny Halliday had taken his place as the French king of Rock (king of French Rednecks is more like it! ) sometime at the tail end of '59 and launched the "rock-twist" movement of bands, the local equivalent of the skiffle craze in Britain six years prior, before fronting the "YéYé" phenomenon in France (YéYé is the French contraction of the word "Yeah!"). When French teenagers began listening to American rock records, "Yeah!" is probably the only word they could identify with besides "Baby." (The language they sing while imitating the American dialect is called "Yaourt (Yoghurt!)" here). Anyway, Johnny Halliday is/was a strange mix of James Dean and Elvis' aping. He is the first teen idol in France (... looked a lot like Eddie Cochran, actually! ) who turned out to be the French equivalent to Tom Jones in the end, with his powerful voice and better looks. Unfortunately, most of Halliday's songs were French adaptations of American and British hits with no originality and, in my opinion, he's an embarrassment to every true French rock fan.
When it comes to real rock'n'roll, in the Garage-rock and " Freak-Beat" sense, the first real contender was Ronnie Bird [his picture, in negative, adorns the top cover of the CD comp. of French Beat: "Rock En France - 1965/67" edited by LCD (#26-2), which is the label of Jacques Leblanc, chief staff writer for the French retro music magazine, "Juke Box"]. Ronnie Bird covered the Stones, Turtles, Them and British Beat songs in the general, he made his start around '63/'64. The first to separate himself from the YéYé mainstream patronned by the French government, he championed the real ostracized rockers (or "mockers") British style, in a TV interview. Long Live Patron Saint Ronnie!
(Ronnie was actually very fluent in English too; view a rare TV appearance for his last sixties single : "Sad Soul" here... http://www.ina.fr/art-et-culture/musique/video/I05349185/ronnie-bird-sad-soul.fr.html)
Then came Antoine, the French Donovan backed by his Problèmes which started out as real garage-band inspired by British R'n'R in 1965, releasing two "garage" classic EPs before joining Antoine as a beat parody for a national yearly tour in 1966. Together, they released a good beat-protest LP with a few true 60's punk classics. Later on the Problèmes turned completely satirical as Les Charlots, a forerunner to the Rutles with their comic 1967 French cover of "Hey Joe" as "Hey Max!" and onwards into the early seventies as a total parody group in several campy films.
But, the first genuine French rock star is Jacques Dutronc with his hard punk guitar riffin' and heavily satiric lyrics written by writer-reporter, Jacques Lanzmann; a true stroke of genius this pair was, defining the French beat genre: hard fuzz guitar accompanying killer intelligent novelty lyrics, satirizing the ways and habits of modern society. This combination has never been topped since! Dutronc was an obscure session guitarist who first started as lead guitar briefly in a rock-twist band called "El Toro & les Cyclones!" His trio of first LPs are musts in any collection, including a few more singles and EPs up to 1970!
There were other genuine pop singers not in the YeYe vein like Erick St. Laurent, who made a cool cover of "Friday on my mind," and Noël Deschamps (in the soul R&B style not unlike the more famous Nino Ferrer), an exceptional organ player with his numerous novelty singles dipped into Southern Soul.
Still, there were authentic beat groups in the French suburbs in the wake of the Stones and the Beatles. For me, the best and foremost, on a world class par with other freakbeats such as the Motions (Holland), Los Salvajes (Spain), the Carnabeats (Japan), the Shakers (Uruguay), Twilights (Austria), Standells (U.S.), Blue Birds (Greece)... are Les Boots (not to be confused with German Boots)! They started out as a folk-rock band called Les Trèfles who put out a competent EP with only originals (a real threat in France!). Later, the band released two classic EPs as Les Boots, mixin' punk, R&B anthems ("Laissez Briller le Soleil," and "Twen") with folk-rock ballads ("Vingt ans," and "Demain") and one psychedelic ("Ali Baba" ) again, all originals! They finished their short career by backing pop singer Gilbert Safrani on a final EP with a French cover of the Kinks' "Dedicated Follower of Fashion" and at least one French 60's punk killer, "Les Gens s' en Vont Dans le Ciel." A fifth EP was recorded but never released including a beautiful French cover of "Strawberry Fields Forever." You can hear all this including unreleased songs in the excellent CD put out by "Juke Box" magazine, "Les Boots - Tout va Bien" on LCD #18-2 which is a must if you want to discover what French beat is all about and if you like 60's music as a whole!
Les Boots were right in the middle of the Paris swingin' scene of the mid-sixties led by the French "Minets" who hung around the drugstore Publicis on top of the Champs Elysées ("minets" are the French equivalent to British mods except they were from upper middle class backgrounds as opposed to the working class in Britain). These dandies from the rich suburbs dressed themselves in Renoma and Cacharel Pop' Op' clothes, had their hair cut like British pop stars and danced at the Bus Palladium, Chez Castel or La Locomotive (Paris club equivalents to the Scotch St. James, the Cromwellian or Tiles in London! ) from dark 'til dawn. A film on the very subject, "La Bande du Drugstore" was released in French cinemas with a musical score including "Light Bulb Blues" by cult US garage-band the Shadows of Knight! (unbelievable for the current French mainstream!) . . . and they hated "YéYés!" Starting underground around '64, several news flashes reported them on film as a new youth phenomenon in '66 (roughly the same pattern as for mods by a couple years without the riots).
Of course there were numerous others, like Les Lionceaux who were the first to sport long hair and play British Beat, covering the Kinks ("Le Jour et la Nuit (All Day and All of the Night)") and Martha and the Vandellas ("Mon Obsession (Nowhere To Run)"). And Les Gypsys who had a single out on Relax (the same Dutch label that put out the mighty "Outsiders") with two originals in the Sorrows vein of r'n'beat of which "Prolétaire" is truly an anthem for all the long haired French social outcasts we now call 60's punks. The wicked picture sleeve of their 45 can be seen as the cover of "Juke Box" mag' s CD, "Génération Perdue" (an extended version of the first French garage-beat compilation issued on vinyl 19 years ago, now with four unreleased track covers by Les Gypsys). All these CDs can easily be ordered on their site: http://www.jukeboxmag.com
(Serge Doudou, guitar player for Les Gypsys, still occasionally gives private guitar lessons...) And others still, like The Somethings who were French Pretty Things with even one Viv Stanshall look-a-like and had one single/EP with one total beat punk killer, "Le Monde Infernal", which gave name to one of the better 60's transworld punk comp's : "Infernal World" ("Le Monde Infernal" in English!). Le Bain Didonc, who started out as French beat parody, Les Pitles (phonetically les Beatles... dig?), also released an EP with one absolute, world class freak-beat killer, "4 Cheveux Dans le Vent" on vol. 4 of the "Diggin' for gold" comp. series (incidentally, the lyrics to this song are total camp parody that pursue the French tradition; when you don't understand them, it's a total killer song but, nevertheless in reality a joke!).
Les Cinq Gentlemen may be the best French club band from the Riviera with five great EPs and the ORIGINAL version of the folk-punk classic by the Sandals, "Tell us Dylan," in "Dis-nous Dylan" with which they had a minor success on French TV! And one must not bypass Les Goths, freak beat gods who put out two killer singles (with the deadly psychedelic feedbacking "Turn Over" on bootleg comp., "Perfumed garden"http://fuzzine.over-blog.com/article-rock-fran-ais-les-goths-entretien-avec-bruno-frascone-66846020.html) with picture sleeves and an unreleased psychedelic album which was rumored lost when the lead singer vanished in a mystic trip to India, but has just been released a few months ago by Shadocks Music as the LP : "Rêve de Silence" (http://www.green-brain-krautrock.de/LES-GOTHS-REVE-DE-SILENCE-LP-1968-Shadoks_10711.html) . Even one singer, Nicolas Nils, and his backing band, Les Murators, while releasing an EP covering two Seeds songs (!!! ) : "Il Faut Trimer Dur (Pushing too hard )" and "Il Faudra Compter avec Moi (Try to understand)", were incredibly aware for a French band but, bear in mind that the Seeds had actually three EPs out on the French label Vogue Loisirs.
Perhaps you should wait 'til I compile a special French beat LP on Misty Lane's "Basementsville" series for a global picture... ? (Ask: email@example.com). In the meantime, here's a French Beat top ten of killer tunes you should check out for starters in no specific order of greatness:
1) Boots - "Laisser Briller le Soleil" 2) Antoine et les Problèmes - "Dodécaphonie" 3) Les Cinq Gentlemen - "Si Tu Reviens Chez Moi" 4) Jacques Dutronc - "Le responsable" 5) Ronnie Bird - "S.O.S. Mesdemoiselles" 6) Les Bain Didonc - "4 Cheveux Dans le Vent" 7) Les Gypsys - "Prolétaire" 8) Les Somethings - "Le Monde Infernal" 9) Les Goths - "Turn Over" 10) Les Senders - "El Camel / Benjamin - un train" (TIE-IN)
Now it's time to introduce the foremost modern French 60's fanzine, "Juke Box." Interestingly, the mag started out covering genuine material and issuing bonus singles by the Standells or the Seeds, but finished giving equal parts to mainstream "Yeye" singers like Johnny Halliday and other horribly dated, twist-rock bands like Les Chaussettes Noires and even MOR singers like Dalida (Urgh!). It feels weird reading about a thoroughly interesting anecdotic story on the Pretty Things' lead singer, Phil May's hairy misadventure in a Paris café during the sixties, or the complete story of the U.S. "Hullabaloo" TV show, while embarrassingly bypassing the pages containing the analysis of Disco star, Cerrone's body of work. Or handling a cover sporting some other terrible square French PAP (muzak or ersatz Pop...) singer's mug, for example. Well, Johnny Halliday being sadly an institution deep in the heart of France, I guess they know where their money is! Still, this is very schizophrenic. Nevertheless, they put out cool looking CDs like the "Festival '67 - Live in Paris" featuring the historical live soundtrack of the first international Pop music fest' in Paris with the likes of the Troggs, Pretty Things, VIP's, DDDBM&T, Ronnie Bird, Jimmy Cliff (The Tomorrow played at the show too but, sadly their tape was lost!) and others like the "Nowhere Men" comp. series.
Another mag of note is "Le Club des Années 60" which is even more obscure on the group facts related within, while still retaining that "yeye/ twist" element. Sadly, I don't have their contact right now but I may get it and provide more information on here next time. http://club-annees-60.blogs.fr/
And lastly, I recommend the only true rock book written on the French scene (in this case, the local Alsace scene on the German/ Suisse border, even extending to beat bands across that neighboring border) tracking the R'n'R phenomenon from the primitive twist-rock days through British style beat, up to hippie acid daze: "Le Temps des Copains - Rock Twist Alsace Années 60" Ed. la Nuée Bleue 1996" with a free soundscape CD! An essential and fascinating read (If you can read French, that is! ) with lots of great pics if you are interested in such an exotic scene. (You can try Wolgang Völkel's mailing list to order a copy: email@example.com)
Well until next time, that's all for now, sixties freaks . . .

Revenge Season 3 Finale: "More Than One" Major Death and a Crazy Twist
The Revenge Season 3 finale Episode 22, "Execution" is just around the corner, and it sounds like it's a can't-miss episode.
We already know a lot about the episode. It'll focus on Emily vs. Victoria, everyone is making major moves and, yes, people are going to die. Now, E! has fleshed out some of those details, making the wait until Sunday even more impossible.
We already knew this episode would feature more than one death, and E! confirms this, saying that these deaths are "major." Does that mean we could actually see two (or more) of the main character go down? Or is this a loose definition of "major"? Either way, we're excited
E! also reports that Em receives "both the best and worst news of her life," and "the show will manage to pull off its most shocking twist ever." Some fans are speculating David Clarke is actually alive, which could certainly qualify for both of those things...
All in all, this is shaping up to be a crazy finale. We're worried about almost all of the main characters making it out alive, and we're dying to find out the twist.
What do you think it will be? Let us know in the comments below.
Source: E!
Catch the Revenge Season 3 finale on Sunday, May 11 at 10 p.m. ET on ABC

Now might be a good time to revisit this 2008 MEMRI clip
15 thoughts on "Hamas admits to using human shields"
They should not complain about the dead. After all, good Muslims would go to heaven, and the bad Muslims don;t matter anyway. Muslims are whiny and weak.
I'd be happy to oblige this scumbag in getting his wish personally, but in a way that avoids any women or children as casualties.
It should be clear by now to anyone with half a brain that Hamas and the Palestinians are nothing but cowardly scumbags who hide behind women and children. Israel know only too well what they are up against.
Of course thanks to Leftist lunacy, these Ishmaelite cockroaches are now scattered all over the West. It won't be long before we end up getting a regular taste of what the Israelis have put up with for over sixty years.
Give the smooth talking gentleman what ever he wishes.

At least 1 person killed by attack on media building in Gaza, several others injured
A senior Islamic Jihad militant was killed in an Israeli strike on a Gaza City building housing Palestinian and international media, the Islamist faction told AFP.
Sources told AFP on Monday that Ramez Harb, a senior commander in its armed wing, the Al-Quds Brigades, was killed.
It was the second time in as many days that Israel had fired on the Shuruq Tower in the city's upscale Rimal neighbourhood which is used by media outlets including Britain's Sky News, the Saudi-owned Al-Arabiya network, Russia Today and Iran's Press TV.
(live blog al jazeera )
Israel Defense Forces say 4 senior members of Islamic Jihad were known to be in media building
(idf spoke person )
The person using the women, kids and elderly as shields are the ones responsible for their deaths or maiming, the leftist will never admit this fact because they can use their lies to damage Israel and the west.
You do not understand. They are OPPRESSED!!!
Yeah right, and the moon is made of green cheese. Political Correctness is destroying civilization.
Softly bob: Those leftist lunatics as you so quaintly term them, are in fact for the most part lead by leftist Jewry in the west. I am of two minds with this and really am just fed up with all of these sand dwellers. I think if Israel ends up in trouble and needs some help we should make a deal.
We will help if and only if you take your leftist agitating troublemakers into Israel and keep them! Like can take care of like, and it would not be too bad to clear out 50% of the lawyers, far less trouble.

With the Baseball Hall of Fame inductions this weekend, some are starting to make their way to Cooperstown. A crowd of 50,000 baseball lovers are expected and that's in part because of the six men that will forever be enshrined in baseball history.
On Sunday, six baseball greats will take their place on a wall that commemorates the best of the best in America's favorite past time. But who exactly are these guys? Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine Frank Thomas, Bobby Cox, Tony La Russa and Joe Torre. The class consists of three ball players and three managers. Among the managers is New York Yankees favorite Joe Torre.
"Some guys are Yankees and some guys come on the Yankees and they're not really Yankees. I'm old school so I think Joe Torre is old school," says Rich Romanowski, of Long Island.
Even though the Hall of Fame is in Torre's back yard, fans from all over the country are visiting the Hall of Fame to pay respects to their hometown heroes. With three former Braves ready for induction--Maddux, Glavine and Cox--some from Georgia are proud of their strong representation.
"I think they represent Atlanta, they've been in Atlanta a long time. I think they're great people," says Michael Gagnon, of Georgia.
Although most inductees go in with a team affiliation, some decide not to, including Tony La Russa. Two out of the six inductees this year say they will not go in with an affiliation. And that has fans saying they're not too disappointed.
"Well I understand it. I appreciate what La Russa did for the cardinals. He did a lot of good things for the White Sox and the A's. I mean all three teams he did a lot for and I understand," says Darryl Mottin, of Missouri.
But some of the inductees had one clear team that they wanted to be enshrined with. With the White Sox, Frank Thomas finished seven straight seasons with over 20 home runs and a .300 batting average.
"If he would've went in with any other team we would've been really upset."
They're six baseball greats....with six different paths...but each path led them all to a spot in baseball history forever.

Mike Parsons, ex Karrimor steps down from OMMadded Jan/2010, see all OMM news & reviews
Product news by Ark Group
In 1946 Mike's mother and father, Charles and Mary Parsons, started making cycle panniers in the upstairs of their shop in Rossendale. Karrimor International Ltd was the result and from 1960 Mike led the company to being a worldwide brand. As Managing Director he created some of the outdoor industry's iconic products. The Alpiniste, KSB, Hot Ice, Karrimat, Jaguar to name but a few. In 1996, with 320 employees and a turnover of £20m, Mike moved on taking his passion for the sport of mountain marathons with him and the originating event, the KIMM. This was soon to become known as the Original Mountain Marathon or OMM.
Not only in the outdoor industry but also in education, Mike's innovative approach is renowned and set to continue. He is an Honorary Fellow at the Institute for Entrepreneurship and Enterprise Development at Lancaster University Management School.
"2009 has been an interesting year for me. "says Mike. "With the involvement of the Ark team I have been able to get out into the mountains much more and spend more time pursuing my academic interests in innovation at Lancaster University. My future plans include, with my colleague Professor Mary Rose, "Innov_ex 10" to be held on Wednesday, 28 April 2010 and the continued development of our innovation courses for undergraduates, postgraduates and business. ( www.innovation-for-extremes.org)
As I step away from OMM Ltd I wish the Ark team every success."
Tom Williams, MD of the Ark Group says "The outdoor industry would not be where it is today without the influence of people like Mike Parsons, a true pioneer. We aim to build on Mike's legacy and ensure that the OMM remains an outlet for the enduring spirit and innovation. Jen Longbottom, Mike's sister, will continue as organiser for the Original Mountain Marathon"

Sony A77 Movie
I have an iMac running the latest software.
I shot some test video on the A77 in AVCHD mode. The settings were in AVCHC 1080p.
I imported the video into Final Cut X, iMovie 9 and onto the desktop.
Unlike my ex A55 I am not getting the playback in any of these apps. in High resolution.
The video looks like it was shot in the low resolution.
I did not have this happen with the A55.
Please advise.

2005 - 2009 Copyright Kerri Morrone Sparling. All rights reserved.
I existed for six year before diabetes came into my life. I don't remember much before I was diagnosed – all of my memories have been touched in some way by this disease. I went to every birthday party as a kid with my trusted stuffed animal and my black zipper case blood testing kit by my side. I remember every day in elementary school starting with my mother waking me up and testing my bloodsugar. I remember injections in the kitchen before we had summer dinners on the back deck.
"Diabetes doesn't define you, it just helps explain you."
Sometimes life moves just so damn fast.
My dreams feel so real. The smells, the sounds, the way things taste. How people were dressed. If it was warm or not. Which cat was roaming around. Was I scared? Did I feel safe? What shoes was I wearing? My five senses are completely involved in every dream I have.
Woke up late.
Scene: About 11 o'clock at night. Showcase Cinemas in MA.
I am: tired, happy and filled with Easter Eggs.
1. I have been in so many listless work meetings today that my head is filled with phrases like "forward thinking," "marketing analysis," and "extensive research and application." These phrases have replaced the fun ones I was thinking earlier, which included "Paas coloring kit," "lethal Cadbury mini eggs," and "Thank the lord for fast acting insulin."
I hadn't checked the mail in a few days, so I wasn't surprised when I came home to a pile of envelopes on the kitchen table.
Standing at my desk and chatting up a coworker, coffee in hand, I noticed the tiniest twinge of a headache. Not overly concerned, I sat down and pulled out my meter. "Just to rule it out," I thought, loading up the meter with a strip and clink … ringing in at an icy 39 mg/dl.
Faithful Readers, I saw a picture of John Cusack this morning on someone's desktop. After a wistful sigh, I remembered "High Fidelity." And the Top Five bit that I was convinced I had invented. And the fact that we haven't played since October.
Checked the weather in LA. It's 70 degrees and sunny, just so you know.

LINCOLN, Neb, October 7. UNIVERSITY of Nebraska head swimming and diving coach Pablo Morales announced on Tuesday that he has hired former New Mexico diving coach Jeff DiNicola to fill an open position on his staff.
"Jeff's coaching experience and proven ability will not only insure a smooth and successful transition for our diving program, but it will also help serve the national objectives of this program," Morales said. "He has extensive experience and a very impressive track record, and he is certainly one of the outstanding young coaches in the nation."
DiNicola is looking forward to joining the Nebraska swimming and diving program.
"This program has the chance to be successful and to be dominant at the NCAA level," DiNicola said. "I'm looking forward to the opportunities and I'm looking forward to working with Pablo."
DiNicola comes to Nebraska after three seasons at New Mexico (2000-2003). At UNM he had at least one diver compete at the NCAA Zone Diving Championships each of the past three years, including a pair of divers the last two seasons. Last season, DiNicola coached Becca Barras to a Mountain West title on the one meter and Tracey Berghian to a league title on the three meter. With DiNicola's guidance, the duo earned co-Mountain West Conference Divers of the Year honors. In 2003, DiNicola was named MWC diving coach of the year.
More impressively, DiNicola was hired in 1999 to revive the Lobos diving program which had been dormant for five seasons.
"It is very impressive what Jeff, in a span of three seasons, was able to do with a previously non-existent program," Morales said. "It bodes very well for his future here at the University of Nebraska."
Prior to arriving in Albuquerque, DiNicola also coached at his alma mater, Southwest Missouri State, where he earned Missouri Valley Coach of the Year honors in 2000.
A three-time MVC selection at Southwest Missouri State, DiNicola was a two-time conference diver of the year honoree (1996, 1999), and also set a pool record on the three meter.
DiNicola received his degree from SMS in 2000 in drafting and design architectural and mechanical, with a minor in construction.
DiNicola is married to the former Vanessa Hunt and the couple is expecting their first child in January.

Two for court on drugs charges
Katy French: died five years ago after using cocaine
A man and woman will today appear in court in relation to drug offences arising from the death of the model Katy French five years ago.
Kieron Ducie (42), Lamberstown Manor, Kilmessan, Co Meath, and Ann Corcoran (32), Tolka Road, Clonliffe Road, Dublin, pleaded guilty in November that at an unknown location between 6pm on December 1st, 2007, and 10am on December 2nd, 2007, they procured another man, Russell Memery, to possess cocaine for the purpose of sale or supply to another.
A second charge alleged that on the same dates at Lamberstown Manor, Kilmessan, they intentionally or recklessly engaged in conduct to wit the supply of cocaine to Katy French and failure to get medical assistance in a timely fashion, which created a substantial risk of death or serious harm to another. The second charge against both defendants, alleging the endangerment of Ms French, was not proceeded with by the prosecution.
Judge Leonie Reynolds remanded Ducie and Corcoran on bail to today, when a date for evidence and sentencing will be set.
Three people have pleaded guilty to drugs offences arising from the circumstances surrounding the death of French.
Two years ago, then 25-year-old Memery, who had been living at Yellow Clay Manor, Navan, became the first person charged.
He was given a 2½-year suspended sentence at Trim Circuit Court after pleading guilty to having conspired to possess cocaine for the purpose of sale or supply to another between 11pm on December 1st, 2007, and 3am on December 2nd, 2007.
French died in Our Lady's Hospital, Navan, in December of that year, a number of days after she had collapsed following a house party in Co Meath.
A postmortem found the 24-year-old model had died as the result of brain damage and found traces of cocaine in her system.

Latest Information on the Search for Descendants of Walker, Walls, West, Tennyson and Cowburn in America
Since setting up the web page to trace the Walkers who went to the USA in the 1880's, we have been contacted by members of all three branches of the family. In 2002 we travelled to Utah to visit some of the descendants of Annie Walker. Then in the summer of 2006 we went to Kentucky to see many of the descendants of Thomas Richardson Walker and then on to California to meet descendants of Mary Emma Walker. For us this has already been a very successful web site but of course we are still interested in hearing from other members of the family.

Limpopo's Aubrey Langa fights to keep Ivanplats project out of town
The Mokopane shopkeeper has laid at least 7 environmental and anti-corruption charges against the platinum mine and the state to halt the project.
The Mokopane shopkeeper has laid at least 7 environmental and anti-corruption charges against the platinum mine and the state to halt the project.
Who is responsible for the backlash? A research paper unravels the nexus of land ownership, traditional authority and mining elite interests.
Limpopo locals are standing their ground in their fight to halt a new platinum mine that Platreef wants to establish on their land.
Noting a decline of members in Amcu, NUM's Frans Baleni says some workers are not happy with the wage agreement that ended the platinum strike.
The platinum miner seeks to up its production in expectation of a deficit on platinum supply from 2018 onward.
Craig McKune, Stefaans Brümmer
Mineral Resources Minister Ngoako Ramatlhodi held shares in a platinum firm while mediating in the recent mineworkers' strike.
The trade union says Amcu's latest counter proposal on behalf of mineworkers borders on negotiating in bad faith and "defeating the ends of justice".
EFF leader Julius Malema has told striking mineworkers to stand firm on their demand, calling for an inquiry into claims that R12 500 is unaffordable.
Amcu says it has accepted a new wage offer from platinum miners, but outstanding issues still need to be discussed with the employers.
Ratings agency Fitch has downgraded its South African outlook to negative, and analysts expect Standard & Poor's to downgrade too.
The short-term benefit is likely to be higher prices – and investors will start looking elsewhere.
ANC's Gwede Mantashe seems to have hardened his stance on the statements he made about foreigners' influence on the mining strike negotiations.
Amcu members have urged leader Joseph Mathunjwa to sign a wage deal with the platinum firms after they announced reaching "in principle undertakings".
An orderly restructuring of the platinum industry is essential after the longest strike in our history, writes Gilad Isaacs.
Ngoako Ramatlhodi's softer stance towards Amcu, in comparison to other government officials, could be the reason for his hasty exit from wage talks.
Mineral Resources Minister Ngoako Ramatlhodi says "pulling back" from the negotiations may "exercise the minds ... of the negotiators".
The mines minister says a state task team that intervened in Amcu's wage negotiations has "done enough work" for the parties to continue.
Wage talks between Amcu and platinum producers were deadlocked, which has prompted Mining Minister Ngoako Ramatlhodi to abandon his mediation role.
A new report says platinum mines could have afforded to pay workers more.

Blah, blah, blah (just random stuff)
I had another maternity photoshoot this weekend. It was my friend's daughter who was in town visiting from Montana. She was 29 weeks along and had her two older children (7 and 8) in some of the photos with her. (Their dog was in a few shots as well.) All in all it went well.
