This week in Tampa: Billy Joel, Jamey Johnson, AFI, Sunshine Festival and more
It's not every week that you have a giant, arena-filling concert on one side of the bay and a huge festival on the other -- but it's that sort of weekend here in Tampa Bay, with Billy Joel at the Tampa Bay Times Forum on Friday and the Sunshine Music and Blues Festival in St. Petersburg on Sunday.
Those are the biggest events this week, but here to walk you through the rest of this week's concert slate -- including Jamey Johnson, AFI, Chris Botti, Robyn Hitchcock, Tab Benoit, the Soul Rebels, Turbo Fruits, Chubby Checker, Eddie Money, Chris Cagle, 12th Planet, Tony Orlando, Nonpoint and Manhattan Transfer -- is Ray Roa...
Billy Joel
FRIDAY 8 p.m. Tampa Bay Times Forum, 401 Channelside Drive, Tampa. $39.50-$119.50. (813) 301-2500.
Is Friday the last time Billy Joel will play Tampa Bay? If this were pretty much any other major pop artist besides the 64-year-old lord of Long Island, we'd say don't sweat it. After all, our gods go long these days: 81-year-old Loretta Lynn played the Mahaffey in September, and 80-year-old Willie Nelson comes to Ruth Eckerd Hall Jan. 29. But William Martin Joel is different, always has been. He said 1993's River of Dreams would be his last pop album — and it was. Save for a classical foray, his studio output has been bupkus. He's a ferocious live performer, and yet he's been less and less keen to hit the road, the Angry Young Man now a grumpy old man. Yes, he did recently announce a monthly residency at Madison Square Garden, with a focus on his entire repertoire, deep album cuts and all. The first several shows are already sold-out, demand for tickets still feverish. And yet, the MSG shows — a New York kid in the ultimate New York haven — possess an unmistakable air of farewell, too. I may be right, or I may be crazy. Maybe Joel will come back to Tampa Bay. But just in case, when Scenes From an Italian Restaurant rolls around, you best be extra vigorous in waving Brenda and Eddie goodbye. — Sean Daly
Sunshine Music & Blues Festival
With Tedeschi Trucks Band, Galactic, Leon Russell, Hot Tuna (acoustic), Stanley Clarke, J.J. Grey, The Ringers with Jimmy Herring, Bobby Lee Rodgers, Oli Brown
SUNDAY Noon. Vinoy Park, St. Petersburg. $49.50-$99.50. For details, see sunshinemusicandblues.com.
Derek Trucks caught the jam-rock world by surprise last week by announcing that he and fellow guitar hero Warren Haynes would be leaving the Allman Brothers Band at the end of 2014. But maybe it's not such a shock, considering his own Tedeschi Trucks Band — a project he co-founded with wife Susan Tedeschi in 2010 — keeps getting bigger and bigger. The sultry siren and guitar whiz won a Grammy in 2012 for the fiery, soul and blues music of debut LP Revelator, and "the Tedeschi Trucks Band is where my future and creative energy lies," Trucks said in a statement. Trucks and Tedeschi worked with concert promotions giant Live Nation to create this Florida mini-festival, featuring like-minded artists like jam-funk collective Galactic and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame sideman/singer/all-around mystic Leon Russell, and if all goes well, they'd like to take it national. Check it out on Sunday, and you can say you knew 'em way back when. — Jay Cridlin
Jamey Johnson
With Chris Hennessee
FRIDAY 8 p.m. Mahaffey Theater, 400 First St. S, St. Petersburg. $29.50-$49.50. (727) 892-5767.
Country music's dirty little secret is that its sound has been split in two. There's the partying, truck-lovin' kind, perfect for bacchanals at beachside bars; and then there's the dustier, roots-based brand that works best for storytellers at dark, neighborhood dives. Jamey Johnson stands at the intersection of those worlds. Early songs like 2006's Redneck Side Of Me tiptoe into country-cliché territory, but Johnson, 38, turned a corner with his 2008 LP That Lonesome Song and a masterful 2010 double LP, The Guitar Song, where he puts on the proverbial hats of Hank Cochran, Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson to craft a modernized version of outlaw country that could easily drink the Luke Bryans and Dierks Bentleys of the world under the table.
Tab Benoit
With Mike Zito and The Wheel
FRIDAY 8 p.m. Skipper's Smokehouse, 910 Skipper Road, Tampa. $20-$25. (813) 971-0666.
Tab Benoit was born near the bayou, and every drip-drop of water the flowing in and out of the Mississippi River Delta seems to have baptized the 46-year-old Louisiana native with an ability to coat the blues he makes with a kind of Red Stick authenticity and mysticism . Songs like Drownin' On Dry Land and Broke and Lonely clearly come from the swamp, but Benoit's blues are also the travelling kind, as evidenced by slow-burning, sultry cuts like Darkness, These Arms Of Mine and Medicine, where his voice thunders on life-affirming lyrics and calls on the spirit of Chicago bluesmen to deliver searing leads like a man on fire.
The Soul Rebels
FRIDAY 9 p.m. The Ale and The Witch, 111 Second Ave. NE, St. Petersburg. Free. (727) 821-2533.
Tucked into an office and retail plaza a shell's throw from Beach Drive, the Ale and The Witch's amazing beer selection and live music agenda make it an escape for anyone that just wants to kick their feet up or let loose without judgment, and jam-scene favorites the Soul Rebels will prove why. Near legends in their hometown of New Orleans — where it's hard for brass bands to stand out in a culture saturated with them — the band comes to St. Pete show as part of a short tour that warms them up for international dates in Haiti, Europe and Australia. If horn-driven originals like Rebelosis or covers of Bruno Mars, Jimi Hendrix and even Daft Punk don't get your blood flowing, then you might want to find a defibrillator.
Chris Botti
SATURDAY 7:30 p.m. Capitol Theatre, 405 Cleveland St., Clearwater. $69-$125. (727) 791-7400.
He's headlined the Clearwater Jazz Festival and was just at Ruth Eckerd hall last April, so Chris Botti is a friend to the Tampa Bay area. Heck, he even stopped a 2009 show in Ohio to upgrade an elderly Clearwater fan from her seat in the balcony to the front row ("Where's that beautiful grandma from Florida? What are you doing up there" is the exact quote). The multiple Grammy-winning trumpeter comes back again on Saturday, and while you can certainly hear songs like Indian Summer and When I Fall In Love in Any Elevator, U.S.A., there isn't a reason to not make it out to the refurbished Capitol Theater to watch the 51-year-old smoothly execute a session of melodic respiratory gymnastics.
Chubby Checker
TUESDAY through JAN. 24.; 11:30 a.m., 1 and 3:30 p.m. Stanleyville Theater at Busch Gardens, 10165 N McKinley Drive, Tampa. Free with park admission. 1-888-800-5447.
Chubby Checker, whether he knows it or not, has an interesting role in Tampa's African-American history. It's all thanks in part to 1950s rock 'n' roll pioneer Hank Ballard, who was visiting the once-bustling Central Avenue neighborhood of downtown Tampa when the sight of some dancing kids led him to write The Twist. In 1960, Checker — whose real name is Ernest Evans — turned the tune in a worldwide hit that can still get your grandma out of her chair in a heartbeat. Checker has been able to parlay the popularity of the shimmy and his beaming smile (yes, his cheeks are still chubby) into a lifelong career that finds him entertaining park guests as a part of Busch Gardens' "Real Music Series."
With Youth Code, Coming
WEDNESDAY 7:30 p.m. Ritz Ybor, 1503 Seventh Ave., Ybor City. $25 and up. (813) 247-2555.
When Coachella released its lineup last week, there were several bands on the bill that will also be making their way to Tampa Bay. Davey Havok and his California glam-goth quartet AFI are on that list, and fans not making a Coachella pilgrimage will get a chance to see the band in a far more intimate setting when they bring their latest LP, 2012's Burial, to Ybor City. The band's sound has grown up a lot in the 20 years since its founding, and Havok has been delving into industrial electro-pop for his Blaqk Audio side project, so it'll be nice to soak it all in at this one.
Turbo Fruits
With Luxury Mane, Empire Cinema
THURSDAY 9 p.m. Crowbar, 1812 N 17th St., Ybor City. $10. (813) 241-8600.
Nashville scuzz-rock outfit Turbo Fruits know Ybor City well. They cut their teeth there in 2010 opening for a still-breaking Surfer Blood, but they'll finally get their own headlining show when they bring a grimy, jump-off-the-barstool take on rock 'n' roll to Crowbar. The album they're supporting, Butter, is two years old, but recent sold-out shows in New York City and an Australian tour sponsored by Vice magazine are proof that the Fruits' whiskey-fueled live set shows no signs of going rotten anytime soon.
Robyn Hitchcock
THURSDAY 8 p.m. The Palladium, 253 Fifth Ave. N, St. Petersburg. $28. (727) 822-3590.
Robyn Hitchcock has been compared to Bob Dylan on more than a few occasions during the course of his 40-year career, and the compliment is no accident. The 60-year-old songwriter cites Dylan as a major inspiration, but where Bob strummed and prophesized on folk (and electric-folk), Hitchcock has chosen to explore a more psychedelic, left-of-normal kind of musical expression. Whether it was his early days as a 1970s pre-punk savant in the Soft Boys or his time spent making uncomfortable thoughts sound serene in solo offerings like Sometimes I Wish I Was A Pretty Girl, Hitchcock has always been ahead of his time, and this intimate Palladium Side Door show is a chance to revisit the journey right in front of your eyes.

Where the world was as blue as an orange
But last Friday the colors were accented with green, as the students celebrated Unofficial Saint Patrick's Day, wearing green hats and t-shirts and Mardi-Gras beads and getting drunk beginning at 7:30 AM when the bars opened. And this wasn't like skipping school and getting drunk; the whole idea was to get drunk and stay drunk during the whole day of classes. I saw one young woman getting arrested; a faculty member at the library school stumbled onto a passed-out student in the parking garage. And my speech entailed a bouncer at the door. My goodness--why couldn't they just get quietly stoned off their asses the way we did? (One of my college lit. professors, the late lamented Ellin Ringler, told us that was the best state in which to read The Waste Land.)
The speech went well, I thought, and you'll be able to decide for yourselves when it's published in the May issue of the Horn Book. I spoke (er, yammered) about the last forty years of YA literature and librarianship, starting with my own teen reading and ending with the Printz Award. I lunched with the youth services doctoral students and faculty from associated universities, spoke to a YA class, and got to spend a lot of time with my most esteemed friends and colleagues Betsy Hearne, Christine Jenkins, Deborah Stevenson and Boyd Rayward. (The first three you probably know from their publications in the Horn Book and elsewhere, the last is the world's leading expert on this guy.)
Blue and orange and green and vomit not withstanding, Illinois has one first-class library school. You should all go--and can, thanks to their LEEP program. I don't think there is any other school that has such an amazing confluence of faculty and resources, and such an array of interests and talents among its students.

Instead of the storied "cigarette storytime" have we arrived at "hammered yammering?"

When I was there, Ash Wednesday was "Hash Wednesday." With roughly the same result, but usually students who participated were, as your experience notes, sitting on the quad quietly stoned rather than openly drunk.

I once had an esteemed Russian lit prof tell me the true way to enjoy The Brothers Karamazov was to have a bottle of vodka at my side and see if I could keep up with Ivan.
I lasted about 5 pages.

Anonymouses, y'all are just plain AWFUL cutsies, but, but, but...could there be a way to tell you two scamps APART????!! in the sandbox here? I was sorry and sad to read about the drinking stuff going on when those young folks had opportunity instead to listen to Roger when I don't get the opportunity at all but have to stick at home here at the COMPUTER all day long...... but I am most eager to read what the speech was all about, er, ah, I meant what the yammerspeak was all about...oh, fuddleduppers, it looks like I have here invented a word not in the OED!

I've been a very bad blogger lately. I'm sorry if you've visited and found nothing even remotely new... the truth is I am still alive and well, and I'm even in the process of getting my creative groove back, I just have been really lousy at even coming up with a monthly update!
I'd like to change that... so please hang in there with me! I'm gonna start today with a bit of a trip back in time to early February (yep, before my last post!) when I had my fist demo as a Prima Ambassador at Betty's Creative Studio in Greensboro, NC :)
Thanks for the patience with this Bad Blogger. Feel free to comment/email/message me if I'm slacking off again... I'm going to attempt at least weekly posts for the next while as I get caught up and find the rest of my mojo :)

Alternate Dictionary Definitions IIILanguage brain teasers are those that involve the English language. You need to think about and manipulate words and letters.
This teaser is based on 'funny' alternative definitions a word could have if you broke the word up into its syllables and treated the syllables as words in themselves. I will provide a list of words and a list of definitions, it is your job to match them up.
They are meant to be a bit light hearted and may not have perfect
pronunciation so work the words in your head a bit. Having the definitions should provide help in this regard. Also note that sometimes the 'new
word' syllables may not only be using one syllable in the word.
An example would be:
Word: Contemplate "Con template": A stencil that criminals are made from.
Cake component made of Tolkien treefolk
Workers who put together kitchen
The term given to the profits made by a pub
Brought litigation against a government official
What you see from the top of the Eiffel Tower
AnswerParasites - Paris'sites: What you see from the top of the Eiffel Tower
Sudafed - sued-a-fed: Brought litigation against a government official
Enticing - Ent-icing: Cake component made of Tolkien treefolk
Bargain - Bar-gain: The term given to the profits made by a pub
Counterfeiters - counter-fitters: Workers who put together kitchen
What Next?

JERUSALEM (May. 11)
The Chief Rabbinate has decided not to alter its position that the question of marriages between Jewish immigrants of the Indian B'nei Israel community and other Israeli Jews be left to the discretion of local rabbinic authorities, it was announced here today.
The latest decision by the Chief Rabbinate followed protests by B'nei Israel immigrants that some local rabbinic authorities were withholding marriage certificates from them. Objections by the rabbis refusing to grant them marriage certificates stem from the question as to whether the marriage and divorce proceedings heretofore practiced by B'nei Israel Jews were conducted according to the traditional Jewish law.
The Chief Rabbinate decision declared that so long as no new authoritative findings appeared in connection with the B'nei Israel community, there was no reason to review the question of marriage by B'nei Israel Jews outside their own community. Since there is a difference of opinion on the question among religious authorities within the B'nei Israel community as well as within the Chief Rabbinate, the latter has decided not to ban such marriages but to leave the question up to the local rabbis. There are about 7, 000 B'nei Israel Jews in Israel.

Beautiful hotel and friendly staff.
Super staff and free show
Lovely friendly staff, spotlessly clean and very central to all the amenities.
Big tip, try for a rear room and watch the hilarious antics of wild squirrels playing in the garden, a free cabaret. If you are planning on Edinburgh for a break, this is the place to stay, really enjoyed it.

Friendly small hotel in a quiet location near the heart of Edinburgh.
A friendly welcome in a hotel that blends contemporary style with period features.
Room 16 was a large en-suite room on the top floor at the back overlooking the garden and park beyond. The furnishings and fabrics had seen better days, but then so have I. The room was warm and the bed comfy. The shower was weaker than I like and drained slowly. I wondered why a 6 bed room had no lock on the bathroom door. Breakfast was standard quality, served by attentive young staff who found me some honey in a Happy Shopper squeezy bottle, which made me smile. Thanks!

Quality small hotel in a beautiful Georgian building
We've just returned from three very enjoyable days in Edinburgh staying at the Abbey Hotel.
The hotel is easily within walking distance of everything although you have to get used to he fact that Edinburgh is a hilly city. The building is built on five floors with no lift but the views from the upper floors, either looking over to the river in the distance or up Carlton Hill, are quite spectacular. Our room wasn't large and the en suite was compact but all very clean and comfortable with everything we needed. The breakfasts were simply prepared but adequate . Overall, just what we wanted

Great place to stay for an evening in Edinburgh
This is a value hotel for short stays.
It is only a few minutes walk from the centre of Edinburgh so ideal for when going out for drinks, meals, attend concerts, etc... It is not an expensive hotel and the size of the rooms reflect this. However, my room was clean, warm and comfortable and the staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was freshly prepared to order and came with large cups of tea.

Response from hotel
Thank you for your review, but your points and comments have took us by surprise.
You are return guests and we have on both occasions had lengthy conversions about family, football and a few jokes thrown in.
At no point did we ever feel you where unhappy with us or your stay. If you where unhappy with your room or anything else we thought that you would have approached us and told us so we could have dealt with that issue straight away.
We are sorry you didn`t seem to enjoy your return visit and the room with views over the garden!!
But once again if you had spoke to us we could have tried to resolve the issues in the best way we could.

@si_nba: 8-time all-star Bosh: 'I've been a Hall of Famer' http://t.co/3TmDFCaN
Don't you think that he will be?
As the article you linked says, "The only eligible player in history with eight or more NBA All-Star selections who is not in the Hall is eight-time pick Larry Foust, a center who averaged 13.7 points and 9.8 rebounds from 1950-62."
Since Bosh also has a NBA title, has career averages of 19.7 pts/game and 9 rbds/game, and since his career's not over yet, it seems likely that he'll get inducted eventually (whether or not his level of play justifies it is a different question).
Its crazy how underrated Bosh has been since going to Miami.
Heard a national guy(probably Ben Mahler) say tonight that Chris Bosh is dreaming if he thinks he's a Hall Of Famer.
He is the RuPaul of big men. But he is probably already a hall of famer.
I think he sucks, but if he gets 2-3 rings then he's a lock
"Josh Smith Re-building the city of Detroit one brick at a time"Originally Posted by Piston Prince
He has a ways to go yet. If you're the 3rd banana, you better have multiple rings under your belt, ala rodman, mchale, worthy, etc.
Also, all star games are garbage qualifications. They barely count at all. All it proves is that you were one of the top 24-28 players for the first half of any given season, and even that is tainted by the fact %40 of the roster is voted in by fans. Does anybody think being one of the top 24-28 players of your generation makes you a lock for the hall of fame? Me neither.
He's made one all-NBA team in his first 9 years. Sorry, not going to cut it. He's going to need at least 2 more titles before he gets serious consideration.

It wasn't about being the team everyone loved, it was about beating the teams everyone else loved.
Division Champions 1955, 1956, 1988, 1989, 1990, 2002, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008
Conference Champions 1955, 1956, 1988, 2005
NBA Champions 1989, 1990, 2004
As has been shown against the Pacers, in my opinion, Bosh actually can get stats while weakening their team. That is not the mark of a hall of famer.
He's been incredibly consistent. A few more years of putting up 20-18 ppg and 8-10 rpg, and I think he gets in especially if Miami can win another one or two.
If Bosh is a hall of famer then players like Jamison, JO, Zbo and others should be hall of famers too, Bosh needs at least a couple more championships for people to even put him on the hall of fame.
Him playing with Lebron and Dwade and not been able to dominate whoever is guarding him makes him a non hall of famer in my book, I mean can you imagine if instead of Bosh Miami had Amare in his prime? you don't think Amare destroys whoever is in front of him with single coverage? Bosh should average way more by just playing with those guys.
He's a lot like Granger IMO. Very good NBA player. He's not Reggie Miller level who wasn't even first ballot. He put up numbers on bad Toronto teams that never got past the first round. Miller led his team to the finals and deep into the playoffs many times.
Lance is finally home. Whether he becomes our starting PG or he's 6th man, he's getting big minutes and he's here to stay. #llortontnia
Bosh is a very underrated player.
He has been very consistent. At his natural PF, he is very effective.
As for being a Hall of Famer, I think he'll make it
"So, which one of you guys is going to come in second?" - Larry Bird before the 3 point contest. He won.
There's no way he deserves it but he might get it. It would be a joke but you never know with Halls of Fame.
I have been thinking about it, is there a weaker hall of famer than Bosh if Bosh makes it? he is probably one of the softest power forwards to ever play the game.
Bosh is a 3 that has had to play the 4-5 position his entire career. He is not a "winning" player and the only reason he works in Miami is because he is a oh s&$? Option when wade and Lebrun have no where to go in the lane. He 10~15 footer may just make him a hall of famer. But as its been said the man is the ru Paul of big men. If you believe in 2 way players then you see the smoke and mirrors of Chris bosh.
in 10 years, you are the first person I've ever seen suggest Bosh is a small forward.
He's not as good as JO would have been had JO not been injured. JO was a defensive force. Bosh has never owned the paint. Defense is half the game and he's not even an average NBA defender for a C. He's very good from mid range and quick for a big man. He can put up numbers but so can Troy Murphy. Dude never led his team out of the 1st round. Hall of famers accomplish more than that.
Lance is finally home. Whether he becomes our starting PG or he's 6th man, he's getting big minutes and he's here to stay. #llortontnia
But to me I view HOF as requiring you to be not just good over time, but for at least a few seasons the ELITE starter of at least a position or type of play. Reggie got in for being THE clutch scorer for 8-10 years, as well as being the ace 3pt shooter, for an example of a non-MVP type candidate who got in on a speciality.
Typically you think of HOF guys as someone who made MVP runs into the top 5-8 in multiple seasons. Being good in a generic way for 15 years doesn't really cut it to me. Guys rated below him by the BBall-Ref system also include Grant Hill, Amare, and JO. These were all MVP type guys, higher profile in their peak than Bosh has been, but then had injuries and missed the HOF on longevity issues. And to me if you keep them out for length of career (at a higher level) then Bosh should be kept out for not ever reaching a level higher than them.
Bosh hasn't carried a team and his higher numbers come from his time in TOR. In Miami he's been an 18-8 guy which is David West level. I love BAMF but no one would put West in the HOF for what he's done in Indy. Bosh only had ELEVEN PLAYOFF GAMES prior to Miami. In one season with James/Wade he played in more playoff games than his entire career. That is a massive knock on him.
Worthy is the closest comparison, the 3rd guy on a team with 2 other HOF - Magic and Jabbar. However, part of what got Worthy there was still making the ASG despite always being the 3rd guy from the Lakers to get on. We all know that if you have 2 other teammates going to the ASG then you are going to have a tough time making it and need to be special. Bosh has done that this year, but only barely. Statistically a case could have been made to replace Bosh with West, Pierce or a few other guys. And if Bosh had been in this Miami role his entire career ala Worthy, then I think there would have been years he would not have made it. He wouldn't have the "I'm the only player on the team" numbers from TOR.
Plus Worthy has something else critically missing from Bosh. Worthy had a period in the late 90's when he made the case for being the BEST PLAYER on the Lakers, a team with a ton of other talent (just Magic getting older). He led the team in PPG in 90-91 just a year after Magic won MVP (where Worthy was the #2 guy on the LAL). Then the next season Magic had to retire and Worthy kept his numbers up and led the team as it's best player, still getting 43 wins.
So if we end up looking at Miami in the next 4 years and in 2 of those seasons you feel like Bosh is as important or more important than either Wade or James, then you've got a Worthy type of season to help bolster the longevity numbers. But right now can anyone imagine Bosh being considered that kind of threat?
And finally his position has to be considered. He's a PF who has NOT been a dominant defender or even a power rebounder. He's had a couple of seasons over 10 per but traditionally is not a rebounding ace. He's also just a so-so big man shot blocker, never going above 1.4. So ultimately he's Karl Malone's shooting touch minus all the rest of Karl's physical and passing game. Dirk has done similar things but with the obvious 3pt range which has made him a far more dangerous ace scoring threat and team leader type. If Bosh was a classic PF that threatened people at both ends at the rim AND scored the 20 PPG, then I could see it.
But he's got a lot of work to do at this point if he wants to accomplish any of those things.

I think Worthy got in partially because of games like this, against the best defensive team of the era:
There's a reason he's nicknamed "Big Game" James. And he was the second best player on that team, btw.
I think he is without any doubt. A lot less talent has made it in the HOF. And his teams before Miami was horrible. Not his fault.
Garbage players get 1st round picks, (WTF)! All of the NBA must hate the Pacers! LOL
It's the Basketball HOF, everybody gets in. As long as you aren't associated with the ABA.

This is the tale of a time when I was alone in an old brick house and I was conducting an investigation. The news had said that ghosts now roamed the halls of the old brick house on Nehelem St. because two brothers had commited ritual, satanic suicide in one of the upstairs bedrooms.
Armed with my modern day ghost fighting tools and several bottles of Pine-Needle Gin (an excellent ghost fighting brand) I broke my way into the now ruined house.
The floors were littered with trash, needles, faeces, and other grime. I began to drink copiously as there were sure to be evil spirits around in the midst of these dark objects. After I quickly consumed the first bottle in the darkness, the ghost hunt could begin.
I staggered upstairs up the rotting old wooden steps and came to the room in question. An ancient Victorian sprawl, and lo and behold, not one but TWO ghosts were sleeping in the corner, with hideous objects of decay strewn about, likely by their poltergeist machinations.
As I took a few long pulls of the steeling gin to temper my soul for the battle that was sure to come, I lost my footing on the old oak boards and stumbled onto the damp, moldy mattress. A rumbling emanated from the corner, and I could pick up voices on my EVP recorder!
Low, guttural, unearthly laughter as the ghouls in the corner awoke, undoubtebly hungry for man-flesh, blood, and souls. The utterances were heard quite clear with the aid of EVP, a strange daemonic dialect from realms beyond the cold clime of the grave:
"Ahheeeewww Sheeerrrriitt we got a fresh one walkin in here yo get his sheet get his sheeett"
Soon they were upon me. Rustling and ravaging me, possibly thinking I was trying to fake being a ghost by wearing a "sheet" they stripped me down quickly and began chortling in a fell-tongue. Soon I felt the room spinning but felt strong, as I had downed both bottles of the demon-slaying gin.
Their incorporeal hands fell upon me and they began to attempt a demonic possession of my body and soul, one attempting to force an ectoplasmic injection into my backside and the other trying to force a ghoulish, viscous white substance into my oral cavity. I fought them back but they held sway over the lower-forces and I felt the will go out of me.
Soon they had possessed me full of the daemonic seed, I would soon be turned if I was not slain or had the evil expectorated from my now tainted body. Unwilling to let me free to perform the ritual needed to resist the transformation, the two devils switched places and began attempting to inseminate the cold, fell-seed of the fallen into me again, possibly to better achieve conception of a minor hellion.
I grappled for a bottle of the Pine-Gin and shattered it, waking me up from my spell by cutting my arms and legs in deep gashes to bleed the taint out. The two ghouls shrieked as they saw their seed flow from the wounds and waste itself on the soft corruption of the Victorian-Era bedroom, and in a flash they were gone.
Beaten, but far from broken, I had beaten back the sin. Quickly utilizing the ancient technique to expectoration from the belly on their swimming demon seeds, I released the contents of my stomach and hind onto the ground.
There are ghosts in the old brick house. Old, evil forces at work. But this one ended up for another win for the ghost hunter.

Cowpoke Open Results | Video Highlights | Photo Gallery
LARAMIE, Wyo. - Hoping for a momentum swing heading into next week's Mountain West Championships, the Wyoming track and field team continued to break school and personal records at the Cowpoke Open Friday afternoon in Laramie, Wyo.
"It was a great day for our team," said Wyoming coach Bryan Berryhill. "We performed really well across the board. The throwers had some huge throws and our running events were well-represented. I'm really happy with today's results.
"We're on the right track. There's no more training to be done - we've done all we can to this point and we see that the kids are peaking. Most importantly they're excited, which is huge heading into conference."
Freshman Kereston Thomas won the 200-meter dash in 24.17, her second-best time for the event this season. Sam Kee was close behind in second in 24.60, while McKenzie Brogan placed third in 25.17.
In the women's 400-meter hurdles, junior Taylor Gardner won the event in 59.83 seconds, which is the fourth-best time for the event in school history as she moved ahead of teammate Diana Long for the spot. Her previous personal best was a 1:00.58 from the 2010 season, which was eighth all-time on the list. Long finished second on Friday in 1:00.24, a season-best mark for the event.
In the men's 200-meter dash, sophomore Jason Roascio earned a 21.43, which is the fourth best all-time mark for the event in UW history as he passed Robert Harris' mark of 21.49 from the 2003 season. His previous best was a 21.71, which was Wyoming's eighth best all-time mark.
The throwers represented the program well with sophomore Paul Thomas moving to No. 3 on the UW all-time discus list with a distance of 189'-10," a new personal best. The mark also takes the lead in the Mountain West and is ranked 17th in the nation. Joe Plante earned a personal record in the hammer with a throw of 201'-2," which is No. 9 on the UW list and ranked 44th in the country, to go along with a discus throw of 183'-9," ranked 26th in the nation.
Senior Mark Sparks achieved a personal-best 198'-6" in the hammer, just missing the Top 10 list by seven inches. On the women's side, Shreese Daniels earned a hammer throw of 185'-9," tied for No. 8 on the UW all-time list.
"The throwers had a big day with lots of personal records," said associate head coach Paul Barrett. "This meet was important for their confidence as they'll see great competition next week. Their hard work is paying off."
Competing unattached, junior Mason Finley hit a personal record in the discus at 205 feet, currently ranked No. 5 in the United States among both professional and collegiate athletes.
Wyoming competes next week at the MW Outdoor Track and Field Championships from May 8-11 in Las Vegas.

New garden guide helps teachers plant knowledge
Minnesota teachers have a new resource for planning, planting and harvesting a school garden with their students: a garden guide with ideas to build connections between the classroom, school garden and cafeteria.
Minnesota Agriculture in the Classroom (MAITC) published Minnesota School Gardens: A Guide to Gardening and Plant Science. The 268-page guide features 31 K-12 lessons linked to the Minnesota Academic Standards in science, social studies, language arts, health and math.
"With the current popularity of school gardens, we wanted to provide a handy resource not only for establishing a school garden, but to help teachers extend this hands-on experience with student-friendly classroom activities," said Sue Knott, MAITC education specialist.
"We also hope a positive gardening experience will serve as a launching pad for the further study of how food and agriculture are so important to our quality of life," she added.
Lesson examples include Plant It, Map It; It all Begins with Soil; A Bug's Life; What Are We Eating; Food Safety and more.
The free guide is available online, in hard copy or as a flash drive. It can be accessed or ordered at www.mda.state.mn.
The publication was developed in cooperation with the Minnesota Department of Agriculture and the Minnesota Grown Program.

Looks like some celebrities spent the long President's Day weekend just like the rest of us – getting things done. Corey Feldman was spotted running errands and taking son Zen, 7, for a haircut in Beverly Hills, Calif. on Saturday (February 18).
The former child star has a little extra time on his hands after getting booted off the UK's Dancing On Ice – he lost a 'dance off' against Dallas actress Charlene Tilton.
But it didn't sound like the Lost Boys actor was taking the news too hard. "It's been a lot of fun. It's been a tremendous experience and of course I love London, so any excuse to vacation here," he said.
Zen is Corey's son with ex-wife ex-wife Susannah. The couple were married on VH1's The Surreal Life in a ceremony officiated by MC Hammer and a rabbi, and divorced in 2009 after seven years of marriage.View Slideshow »»

Just one visit to the Willamette Heritage Center in Salem, Oregon and you will see why it has been designated an American Treasure by the National Park Service. The center connects generations by bringing visitors on a journey back to the early settlement days of western Oregon. The beautiful five-acre campus is rich with history and the culture of Oregon's past.
The Willamette Heritage Center interprets the history of the Thomas Kay Woolen Mill which produced wool products from 1889 to 1962 and represents one of Oregon's earliest and strongest industries. It also interprets the history of Jason Lee's Methodist Mission to Oregon which settled in the Willamette Valley in 1834 before the major Oregon Trail migrations. The missionaries brought formal education, industry and large scale agriculture and advocated for U.S. government in the Oregon country.
On your next trip to Salem, plan a visit to the Willamette Heritage Center for a unique American experience and check out one of their many exhibitions that explore and highlight the rich and diverse cultural heritage of the Mid-Willamette Valley.

The Israeli human rights group B'tselem accused the army of using Mr Muhsein as a human shield. The army denied the claim, saying it was trying to prevent civilian deaths by warning anyone in the house with Mr Jarrar to surrender.
But the Hebrew daily Ma'ariv yesterday said the practice was aimed at protecting the lives of the Israeli soldiers, not Palestinian civilians.
"The Israel Defence Forces uses the procedure when there is concern that a wanted man, hiding in his house, will open fire on soldiers ...
Over the past two years, use of this procedure has increased, and innocent neighbours have been hurt on more than one occasion," the paper said.
Israeli human rights groups appealed to the Supreme Court to halt the practice and were assured by the Attorney-General that the army would no longer endanger the lives of innocent Palestinian civilians.
The groups are expected to lodge a new legal challenge.
Ma'ariv spoke to several senior Israeli officers who also voiced their opposition. One officer was quoted as saying: "It would be better to endanger soldiers rather than innocent civilians who are caught in combat through no deed of their own and could pay with their lives."
A cabinet minister, Ephraim Sneh, a former military commander, said yesterday that although he was unsure the action would stand up to the test of law, "there is the consideration that we have to prevent a large terror attack, and it's clear which consideration wins in this situation".
In another move the Palestinian Finance Minister, Salam Fayyad, said a holding company had been established to consolidate Palestinian Authority assets under a single umbrella, a reform that meets a key US demand to overhaul Palestinian finances.
Mr Fayyad, a former senior World Bank official, said that the Palestinian President, Yasser Arafat, had given formal approval on Wednesday to the creation of the Palestinian Investment Fund, which would be under the finance minister's direct control.
Mr Fayyad said the new holding company would ensure transparency and accountability in Palestinian financial dealings.

The album will include 'music, parodies and other impresario compositions that became instant classics after performances by Jimmy and his guests' on 'Late Night with Jimmy Fallon'.
Jimmy Fallon is recording a second album. The "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" host has secured a record deal with Warner Music Nashville and is preparing an album for a summer release next year. "Having a new album coming out soon on Warner Bros. means so much to me," he said in a statement regarding the project.
Fallon continued, "Mostly, it means I should probably start writing some songs." The funnyman will fill the CD with "music, parodies and other impresario compositions that became instant classics after performances by Jimmy and his guests on the 'Late Night' show." He will also include never-before-released materials from his talk show.
Echoing Fallon's excitement, Warner Music senior VP Peter Strickland gushed, "Warner Music has a long and proud tradition of comedy excellence. Its illustrious roster has been home to Bob Hope and Steve Martin and more recently, Jeff Foxworthy, Larry the Cable Guy, Katt Williams and Lisa Lampanelli, among many others. It is with great pride that we welcome Jimmy Fallon to our comedy family!"
Over the years, Fallon indeed has showed off his pipes at some of his comedic performances. One of the most famous ones was his performances as Neil Young. He once performed a twisted version of Willow Smith's "Whip My Hair" with Bruce Springsteen, and delivered a rendition of Miley Cyrus' "Party in the U.S.A." with Young's real-life collaborators Graham Nash and David Crosby.

Sarcred Heart Church burglarized
The following is from the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office:
On Tuesday, at approximately 9:00 a.m., the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office received a call regarding a burglary at the Sacred Heart Church located at 2085 Myrtle Avenue, Eureka.
When the investigating deputy arrived at the church he met with a church staff member who pointed out a front window to the right of the front door, which enters into the sanctuary. The window had been smashed in with an unknown item. The smashed window created a hole large enough for unknown suspect(s) to enter the sanctuary. The suspect(s) located the church collection box and stole it. Damage to the window is estimated to be over $500.00.
Anyone with information for the Sheriff's Office regarding this case or related criminal activity is encouraged to call the Sheriffs Office at 707-445-7251 or the Sheriffs Office Crime Tip line at 707-268-2539.

PHYTO Phytocitrus Vital Radiance Shampoo With Grapefruit Extract Reviews
Phyto Citrus shampooGenerally I love Phyto products but found this, shampoo very thin and really disliked the bottle, it was hard to get product out properly and not good for the shower. Think I will stick to the conditioners and other products though — 4 years, 10 months agoLachy1 | 54 reviews
Amazing shampoo and conditioner saved my hair!I was completely fed up with my fine, kinky hair with a mind of it's own. I was so fed up that I actually considered shaving it all off. Thankfully I found Phyto Phytocitrus shampoo and conditioner before that happened! My hair has NEVER been healthier, shinier and has never looked better. I also find that it is easier to style too. LOVE IT! Expensive but never turning back. — 6 years, 8 months agochristinaphilly | 19 reviews
The worst product in the Phyto lineI love most of the Phyto line but have to say this is the worst product for color treated hair I have used. It is not concentrated and it left my hair feeling like straw. It also took a lot of color out of my hair which surprised me since it was permanent color...$300 color job down the tube. I would stick with Pureology for color treated shampoo, but I love the Phyto conditioners and oil treatment! — 9 years, 1 month agoLauraB3333 | 22 reviews
Didn't work any better than drug store varietyI didn't see any benefit of using this particular product — 9 years, 2 months agosilver519 | 21 reviews

Wonderful!I had a 2oz. sample bottle of this once and I just plain loved it! It smelled great and left my color-treated hair soft and full of shine. All of the Phyto shampoos come in smaller sized bottles but I have also noticed that the product itself seems to be concentrated. I have med.-long hair and my 2oz. sample lasted me a couple of weeks (it didn't take much to lather). — 9 years, 6 months agoferrettalk | 24 reviews

Refreshing, and it works!I fell in love with this shampoo. My hair is really fine, and does not take well to color treatments. Within a few washings with this shampoo it is back to its old soft self again. The smell is fabulous, and makes me feel like it is summer all year long. The only drawback is that doesn't make my hair as soft and manageable as Phytojoba. — 9 years, 9 months agojeans515 | 36 reviews

7 Step Process
Discover our simple No Nonsense Process
Custom Orders
We customize your kiosk needs right the first time
Why Choose a Custom Computer Kiosk Made in USA
CompuStation, Inc. is a leading Computer Kiosks Manufacturer providing Made in USA Interactive Touch Screen Kiosk Systems & Enclosures w/ 3 Year Warranty.
You're here today because you're shopping for computer kiosks and enclosures from Kiosk Manufacturers. If 19 years of doing custom kiosk sales has taught me anything, it is that buying kiosk systems is always a complex project. The process of acquiring them is filled with potential pitfalls and mistakes.
We at CompuStation have created this video series not only to help you avoid those costly pitfalls but also so you learn some crucial pointers for making better-informed decisions. I personally believe these cues work for both newbies and veterans in the business of acquiring kiosks and related products.
Why Choose Us: Keeping Jobs in America
The two most important things you should know about us is that CompuStation, Inc. is right here, "onshore" if you will. We manufacture the kiosks and related stuff right here in Pomona, CA. If you had a bird's eye view, you would see that all 12,000 sq. feet of the facility is devoted to kiosk manufacturing. The benefits to you?
#1: Cost Savings for You
I hear customers calling me all day long, saying they are getting quotes twice as high as our pricing. That's a huge factor for all of you, not least because everybody is interested in cutting costs to stay liquid in this lingering recession.
Why go along with high-margin pricing? Call me today and we can give you a cost-effective, quality, beautiful solution. Does saving 50% or even 75% off the nearest competitor strike you as a good idea?
#2: Responsiveness
As if cost saving is not enough, you also get fleet-footed response when you need customization and you want an answer right here and now.
We save you money on customization. Like 95% of kiosk users out there, you want your kiosk enclosures customized to your equipment and other requirements. You may have already browsed the CompuStation website and found a model that seemed a close match with what you need. Par for the course on your visits to our competitors' web pages, too.
The difference is that, when you need the computer kiosk customized to suit, all the folks who job out work overseas (or to an unreliable third-party fabricator) to "save you money", really charge you a great deal for customization. They are only middlemen, after all. When you figure the costs all-in, our price advantage becomes even wider.
At CompuStation, the Production Manager is just 50 feet from me. When you call me, all I have to do is walk a bit and tell him what needs to be made. You will see the difference from calling in a question to a middleman fabricator. Chances are, you talk to someone who can't quite answer your question, who has to say, "I gotta get back to you."
That's because he has to call someone who's overseas and who can respond only the next morning. By the time you get the answer, two or three days have passed. Huge difference right there, just in that one question.
What Next?
I have lined up a series of videos like this to address your many concerns with matters like shipping, quality, materials, paints, and customer support. Sign up today, submit your email address and I'll send you a link for the other videos right back. After reviewing all those, you will probably find yourself better-equipped to make good business decisions.
Our Solutions
At CompuStation, we are happy to serve our clients. We offer a variety of options and turnkey solutions for custom computer kiosks and enclosures. We want to make sure we are giving the best to our clients by leveraging the design process without sacrificing the concept and software integration.

text: Show Hide image Culture 11 September 2008 Too much oil, too few options Saudi Arabia may seem rigid, autocratic and antiquated, but it is slowly changing. Under King Abdull Sign up for our weekly email * Prophets and Princes: Saudi Arabia from Muhammad to the Present, Mark Weston, John Wiley & Sons, 640pp, £18.99 The Saudi princes, with their picturesque costume and antiquated statecraft, have often seemed to wise outsiders to be ripe for the historical boneyard. Yet, since seizing control of the little mud-walled town of Riyadh in 1902, the al-Saud ("Saud's folk") have outlasted their enemies and rivals: the other Arabian sheikhdoms, the Sharif of Mecca, Gamal Abdel Nasser and Saddam Hussein, the Shah of Iran, and, at the time of writing, Osama Bin Laden. By the short-winded standards of the Near and Middle East, the al-Saud are stayers. Absolute monarchs, subject by their own account to the Quran and their subjects' petitions only, they have produced strong kings. Abdul Aziz, the famous "Ibn Saud" who founded the modern state, and his son Faisal were the greatest Arabs of their ages. But with them came the feckless alcoholic Saud, deposed in 1964; gentle Khaled (1975-82); Fahd (1982-2005), who prom ised well but was incapacitated for nine years by illness; and now stuttering Abdullah, for years in his brothers' shadow. Meanwhile, the sons of Abdul Aziz are coming to the throne at ever more advanced ages, as in the last days of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, or what Mark Weston calls "the Chernenko syndrome". The al-Saud have had crude oil in abundance since 1938, but that is both a blessing and a curse. They have not needed to tax their subjects or provide those liberties that a taxpaying people comes to demand. Yet, as the author reminds us, oil made little contribution to the king's revenue until after the Second World War, and between 1982 and 2003, when the market was glutted, a barrel of Arabian Light sometimes could be had for $10. The vast Saudi oil reserves attract envy as well as love, and the revenue from their headlong development, both in the 1970s and today, has strained the puritan state to breaking point. Above all, since the famous meeting between President Franklin D Roosevelt and Ibn Saud at Great Bitter Lake in 1945, the al-Saud have enjoyed the protection of the United States. This relationship, which sits most unhappily with US support for Israel, has passed through periods of intense pressure: the 1973 Arab-Israeli War, the Palestinian intifada of 2001, and after the 11 September 2001 attacks, an operation financed by Bin Laden and largely executed by Saudi rebels. The US guarantee of Saudi security, implicit since 1945, became explicit with Saddam Hussein's invasion of Kuwait in 1990 and the despatch of half a million US troops to Saudi Arabia. Weston wonders whether that guarantee will at some point include protection against nuclear attack. Weston, who has also written about Pakistan and Japan, is an enthusiast of the al-Saud - a much rarer beast in the US these days than in the age of Abdul Aziz and Faisal. He sees the al-Saud as much better than the alternative, which would be an Islamic republic. A protégé of Prince Turki al-Faisal, once head of Saudi intelligence but now somewhat in eclipse, Weston has absorbed a certain amount of Saud ideology. He begins with a long account of the Prophet and the early caliphate, to show that the al-Saud are the direct inheritors of the first Muslims. As the Saudi kingdom was not founded until 1932, you can believe that or not. Best not. Weston moves on to the first Saudi state (1744-1818), when the al-Saud of the time allied with a fierce and radical preacher called Muhammad Ibn Abdul Wahhab. That state came up against the reality of Ottoman power and was destroyed. What survived was the fundamentalist "Wahhabi" ideology, embodied in the descendants of Abdul Wahhab, known as the al-Sheikh ("the sheikh's folks") and a certain geopolitical caution. Abdul Aziz never provoked the British, and was not overly distressed when British aircraft and armoured cars helped break his rebellious tribesmen in the 1920s. Unlike Bin Laden, who chose to fight a superpower, the al-Saud are politicians. Of the founder of the second state, Abdul Aziz Ibn Saud, we know a very great deal, and not just from his Boswell - Harry St John Philby (father of Kim) - but also from a host of other admirers, British and Arab. His family life can be studied in obstetric detail. Weston adds nothing to this twice-told tale. Of the age of Saud, Faisal and Khaled, he also has little new to say and relies on the two standard British accounts, both of which came out in 1981: Robert Lacey's The Kingdom and The House of Saud by David Holden and Richard Johns. Having no Arabic, Weston has not seen recent Arab writing on such critical events as the November 1979 siege of Mecca. The book is never not serviceable and intelligent, but in truth it only comes alive in the new century, with Weston's stay in Riyadh as a visiting scholar at Prince Turki's King Faisal Centre for Research and Islamic Studies in 2004. His account of the wave of bombings that spring and summer, when the al-Saud finally woke up to the threat from the Bin Ladenites, is particularly interesting. For King Abdullah, the Emperor Claudius of this story, Weston has boundless admiration, both for his commitment to reform and his good judgement in carrying it out. Squeezed between the constitutionalists on his left and the conservatives, fanatics and Bin Ladenites on his right, Abdullah must take care. He must also manage the succession into the third generation - that is, the rise of the grandsons of Abdul Aziz Ibn Saud. With a barrel of Arabian Light now above $100, Abdullah has some breathing space. Unusually for a book of this sort, Weston has both talked and listened to Saudi women. One of his sources tells him that she would much rather see reforms to the one-sided divorce law, which deprives divorcees of their children, than be allowed to drive a car. (Actually, the shah reformed the Iranian divorce law, and look what happened to him.) Weston rightly stresses the powerful effect on public opinion of the 11 March 2002 Mecca girls' school fire, in which 15 students were trampled to death because the mutawwa'in ("volunteers", or religious police) would not let firemen in while the girls were unveiled. There are also excellent accounts of the liberalisation of the press, the purging of school textbooks of some of their xenophobic and anti-Semitic material, and of the making of the satirical television series Tash ma Tash. Weston's conclusion is one that is widespread in Saudi business and progressive royal circles: that Abdullah should reform the economy, and the politics and religion will sort themselves out. By taking Saudi Arabia into the World Trade Organisation in 2005, the king has committed the al-Saud to a more open economy, which might discourage the princely graft and commission-gouging of the last oil bonanza of the 1970s. The al-Saud are in a race to create an economy independent of oil. When pressure falls in the oilfields and the wells run dry or fill with water, 30 million people cannot go back to herding camels, fleecing pilgrims and stoning adulteresses as in the 18th-century Saudi state. The desert will not even support one million. That is the challenge to the al-Saud, compared to which Bin Laden is a mere inconvenience.

Shortly after it was revealed the Obama administration is engaging in a coordinated media attack on Rush Limbaugh, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs admitted that he's having fun battling the conservative talk radio host.
Gibbs is apparently also enjoying the sparring with CNBC's Jim Cramer and Rick Santelli.
Anything to distract the nation from a deteriorating economy and the obvious lack of a plan to do anything about it I guess.
As reported by the Hill Thursday:
President Obama's spokesman and confidant simply characterizes his battles with Limbaugh and CNBC commentators Rick Santelli and Jim Cramer as "fun."
He adds that the rationale behind engaging those critics from the podium of the White House briefing room is to correct the record on Obama's policies during times of severe economic uncertainty.
"There's a certain amount of theater to it that might make it more fun, but it's important that people understand the policy," Gibbs said in his West Wing office.
Actually, Bob, I think people do understand the policy. That's why the market is down 20 percent since Inauguration Day, and why stocks plummet virtually every time you or any member of the Adminstration talks about the economy.

I love an oversized cowl! Thick, chunky and versatile! I don't like to wear hoods, but sometimes you need one! This is perfect for those days. Won't destroy your hair! You can fold this over up to three times or wear it loose!
I would rate this as an advanced beginner knitter pattern. You need to know how to knit back and forth and pick up stitches. The photo has a crocheted edge. Instructions for that are not in the pattern. If you know how to crochet, you can easily do that kind of edge.
This simple pattern has spectacular results! Try it in one color! Use up your stash yarn for a striped effect!
Great project for watching tv or waiting for kids while you sit in the car!
Color photos included! I am always available for help!

wonderful fragrance and smooths hairThe fragrance is amazing; it doesn't smell like the restorative hair treatment at all. Leaves hair smooth and glossy, without weighing it down or making it look oily. — 9 years, 5 months agoGBoyer | 3 reviews
A Must HaveAn excellent leave-in conditioner, but where it really excels for me is it's role as a refresher. Running late and no time to wash? A few sprays of this, and you are good to go. Spray in and restyle, if you're going out. The possibilities are endless. — 9 years, 4 months agoRetrodiva | 159 reviews
