As much as I love reporting on all the exciting festival news, I unfortunately also come across sad cancellation announcements. The Big Up, a jam fest that takes place in New York state, has posted on their website that they will be on hiatus for 2012. From the official website:
It is with much disappointment that we must announce that The Big Up will be taking an unexpected hiatus this year. However, in the face of this disappointment, we maintain the position that sacrifices must be made in order to keep an eye on the bigger picture As a festival, we couldn't have been happier with TBU 2011, and we have you, the fans and the family to thank for making it as magical as we all remember. The fact of the matter is that there are factors beyond our control that have forced us to make a very difficult decision. Like many great festivals and events in history have had to do- we are taking this hiatus for 2012, so that we may come back stronger in 2013!

The security debate triggered by North Korea's Oct. 9 declared nuclear test just keeps churning in Tokyo's political nerve center.
The long taboo of discussing going nuclear was most recently broached by Shoichi Nakagawa, LDP policy chief. Nakagawa said the public should debate whether Japan should develop atomic weapons in response to the North Korean threat.
Nakagawa's remark made headlines around the world and set off an intense barrage of media coverage that has lasted over a month.
Government officials, however, remain steadfast in upholding the nation's nonnuclear policy.
"There should be various opinions in a democracy. But the people who harbor the opinion that (we should develop nuclear arms) haven't formed a majority," Nukaga said.
Government sources said Tokyo has secretly conducted theoretical studies on going nuclear at least twice — in the mid-1960s and mid-1990s — but reached the same conclusion both times: Nuclear weapons won't provide any benefit to security.
The first study was conducted after China's first nuclear test in 1964; the second was done in 1995, when Japan agreed to an indefinite extension of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty.
A senior Defense Agency official said there were mainly three reasons in the 1995 study for not going nuclear: It could lead to the collapse of the NPT; it would damage the Japanese-U.S. security alliance; and it could spark a nuclear arms race in Asia — a nightmare for the entire region and the world.
"If we develop nuclear weapons, that would be tantamount to saying we don't trust the nuclear deterrence (of) the United States," said former Defense Agency chief Shigeru Ishiba, who now advises the LDP. "We thereby could make enemies out of both the U.S. and China, which is the scariest (scenario)."
In addition, Ishiba said Japan, which has few fossil fuel resources, is dependent on nuclear power for much of its electricity — about 30 percent now, according to the Natural Resources and Energy Agency.
If Japan quits the NPT, that power would evaporate because all the uranium imports and other supplies needed from overseas would be cut off, Ishiba said.
Those pushing for nuclear arms may simply be ignorant about the political basics of the situation, Ishiba said.
But Terumasa Nakanishi, a professor of international politics at Kyoto University, said it's possible nuclear advocates are being motivated by different reasons.
For Japan, mentioning the nuclear option could be "the only diplomatic chip" strong enough to prompt China and the United States to take the North Korean threat more seriously, Nakanishi said.
"We need to keep applying pressure on the North. The only chip we have is to say we will be determined (to go nuclear) if the United States and China won't take this issue seriously," Nakanishi said.
Another security issue in the spotlight is the long-standing ban on what the United Nations Charter terms the right to "collective self-defense" — including coming to the aid of an ally under attack.
The ban on collective defense is considered a key restraint on the Self-Defense Forces. The SDF mission is strictly limited by the Constitution's war-renouncing Article 9 to only defending Japanese territory.
But Chief Cabinet Secretary Yasuhisa Shiozaki created a stir Monday when he hinted the government may alter its interpretation of these restraints to let Japan shoot down any North Korean ballistic missile launched toward U.S. territory.
In December 2003, when the government gave the go-ahead to move forward on deploying a missile shield with the U.S., then Chief Cabinet Secretary Yasuo Fukuda issued a statement that the project "is aimed solely at defending our country."
Although Defense Agency officials questioned Shiozaki's remarks, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, long known as an advocate of constitutional revision, immediately defended him.
"(The government) is obliged to defend the lives and property of the people. We have to study (the issue) to ensure national security efficiently," Abe told reporters Tuesday.
Some observers even speculate that Abe's remark may have been a politically motivated gesture to push for his goal of constitutional revision by focusing public attention on the issue, instead of actually considering the missile shield.
According to the Defense Agency, part of the system Japan is introducing, the sea-based Standard-3 interceptor missile, can't shoot down missiles aimed at U.S. territory because they would be flying much higher in space than those on the way to Japanese territory.
"Our system won't be capable of shooting down missiles at such a high altitude. It's impossible," a key senior Defense Agency official said on condition of anonymity.
However, some politicians argue that Japan needs to do its homework before changing the Constitution's interpretation of the right to collective defense.
Ishiba, who heads the LDP's special defense policy committee, said Japan should first win trust in Asia by doing some serious soul-searching over its wartime aggression.
Japan also needs to communicate its vision of what role it intends to play in Asia, the Japanese-U.S. security alliance and in the U.N. — something Abe has failed to do comprehensively, Ishiba said.
"I don't know if (Abe) has such a vision or not, because he hasn't said anything about it so far," he said.

The Bomaritos have been there
Maudina Bomarito was shocked by the phone call she received at her St. Louis, Mo., home, that day in 1974.
Her husband, Joe, was on the line, calling her from Port Aransas, a town they'd visited several times over the previous few years. Although they liked the community, they had no plans to move there.
But that was about to change.
Joe was on a fishing trip in Port Aransas, and he ran across a business property he liked. He liked it so much (and he disliked the crimeridden neighborhood of his St. Louis workplace so much) that he met with the owner and agreed, right there on the spot, to buy the place. He even put some money down on it.
Fast-forward 38 years. It's May 17, 2012. Joe and Maudina are now 82 years old. They're sitting in sideby side lounge chairs in the living room of their home on West Oaks Avenue in Port Aransas. They relish telling the story of that phone call Joe made to Maudina back in 1974.
"I said, 'Sell the house, I just bought a business,' " Joe said with a chuckle.
"I told him he was out of his mind," Maudina said.
Joe was adamant during the conversation. Maudina was tearful. They'd just gotten their three-story house in St. Louis remodeled. Maudina was comfortable. She didn't want to trade that in for the much smaller, not-so-nice house that Joe was buying next-door to the business properties.
Maudina called her mother for comfort and guidance.
"She said, 'Joe has made you a good life, worked real hard,' Maudina said, recalling what her mother told her. "She said, 'It's time you shut up and let him have his way on this.' Boy, she bawled me out. So, here I am."
Maudina gave Joe a playful look.
"I listened to my mother. Not you," Maudina said.
The couple made a good life for themselves in Port Aransas. That business property they bought, in the 200 block of South 10th Street, held an icehouse and an RV park. They became Bomarito's Icehouse and Trailer Park.
The icehouse sold ice in small amounts to individuals and in bulk to businesses. Part of that meant breaking down 300-pound blocks of ice into 25-pound blocks by hand, using ice picks. They also had to get the ice in bags. It was hard work.
Joe and Maudina and their children, Brian, Dawn and Carrol, personally did the labor, along with some employees. (Older siblings Dennis, Ricky and Joe Jr. lived in St. Louis.)
The work meant getting up way before dawn six days a week, because anglers would always drop by early to buy ice before heading out to go fishing. Often, the family worked until midnight.
The Bomaritos also rented out spots in their freezer where people could store their fish.
They were closed only on Tuesdays, but even then, they often couldn't get rest. Customers tracked them down, begging for ice or for the fish they'd stored in the freezer.
"They'd find us," Maudina said. "I don't care where we were. They'd still find us."
Despite the hard work, Joe and Maudina said they enjoyed operating the icehouse and the trailer park. Winter Texans who stayed there every year became like an extended family. The icehouse was a gathering spot where visitors – trailer park residents and others from around town – sat and sipped beer and swapped stories.
Among those who frequented Bomarito's were the late Tom McNatt and the late Dennis Dreyer, former Port Aransas mayor and namesake of the town's marina.
The Bomaritos' dachshund, Killer, always hung out with everyone. He drank beer with everyone, too.
"Every day, he'd come up to the ice house at four o'clock," Joe said. "He wanted his beer. But he never would drink it out of a dish. He wanted it poured on the floor. Then he'd lick it up."
In addition to running the ice house and the RV park, Joe worked for some years as a desk clerk at Island Retreat and at Cline's Landing. And Maudina worked as a cashier at the Island Café.
The Bomaritos sold the icehouse and trailer park around 1996, as best they can remember. The icehouse, trailer park and their old home have since been demolished.
Maudina said she started working as a Port Aransas city election clerk in the late 1980s, in addition to her work at the icehouse and trailer park. Joe started clerking shortly later. Maudina became the city's election judge in 1995. Joe became an election judge about five years ago.
The couple did the same kind of work, starting about 1955, when they lived in St. Louis, until they moved to Port Aransas.
A lot has changed in elections work over the past 60 years or so. Methods of voting have evolved from filling out paper ballots, to using mechanical voting machines with levers. Later, paper ballots were scanned with scanners, and the voting machine became a computer. Most recently, the city this year started using voting machines with touch-screens.
Throughout that evolution, the Bomaritos have supervised operations at polling places where thousands of voters have cast their ballots.
In the early days, the Bomaritos worked until 1 or 2 a.m., counting paper ballots on election days. This year, on Saturday, May 12, the votes were tallied and released within one hour after the polls closed at 7 p.m.
The Bomaritos have a lot of stories about their experiences working elections. Joe and Maudina said they always have been sticklers for following the rules, and some voters haven't always been so happy about that.
From time to time, Port Aransans have visited the polls, wanting to vote but carrying no identification. Generally speaking, the law says you've got to present a driver's license or voter registration card in order to vote.
The Bomaritos remember a few lifelong Port Aransans who showed up to vote, couldn't present IDs and then had fits when the couple wouldn't let them cast ballots. One threw his wallet down. Another yelled.
"But you know me!" he bellowed.
The couple made them leave and get their IDs.
"It's just one of the rules of the election," Maudina said. "We go by them strictly. … If you let one of them get through, you've got to let them all through."
Added Joe: "If we go against the rules, and someone complains, we could go to jail."
One year when a couple showed up to vote in city elections, the Bomaritos checked their home address and found that the couple had moved just outside the city limits on State Hwy. 361, the Island Road. They no longer could vote in city council elections.
"The lady told her husband, 'I told you we shouldn't have moved there!' " Joe said with a laugh.
The Bomaritos have decided they're pretty much finished with election work. They might help out when the general election rolls around this fall, but after that, no more, they said.
"I'm too old," Maudina said. "Let some of these young people take over."
The Bomaritos said they're proud of the years they spent helping run elections in Port Aransas.
"We figure we're doing something, contributing to the town," Maudina said.

St. Petersburg's John Q. reach finals in nationwide band contest
From a musical perspective, rootsy rockers John Q. of St. Petersburg don't have much in common with Jimmy Buffett -- aside from the fact that they both live in Florida, of course.
But it seems fans of Buffett's beer, Land Shark Lager, have taken a shine to John Q. The band recently entered a nationwide Battle of the Bands called Land Shark Rocks, and they did so well in the opening rounds of voting that they reached the top 12 nationally (out of more than 360 bands).
As a result, John Q. is heading to Chicago this week for the regional finals, where they'll play alongside 17 Candle (from Iowa), Facing Forward (Illinois) and Chester Bay (Minnesota). All four bands will play a show at 8 p.m. Thursday at the Double Door. (If you're in the neighborhood, the show is free, but you have to RSVP here.)
The performances will be filmed, and one song from each band (as well as bands in two other regions) will be posted at landsharkrocks.com for the final round of voting, which runs from Oct. 23 to Nov. 23. "We will need all the help we can get once the voting starts back up," said bassist Scott McAtasney.
What's at stake for the former Soundcheck Artist of the Day? A prize pack worth more than $100,000, including a full-page ad in Rolling Stone, digital distribution deal, a new Rhapsody artist page, banner ads on rollingstone.com and rhapsody.com and more. So yeah, it's a pretty sweet deal.
Keep tabs here and at John Q.'s Web site to see how you can vote for these hometown dudes. And click here to listen to John Q.'s Brushfire.

I purchased this at an estate sale on Kauai from a very old woman who stated she had traveled the world purchasing antique items to use for decorating restaurants and venues on the island. She said this was about 150 years old but I cannot remember who/where it could have been made. Tobacco pouch or seed bag? Thanks!

Former 101st Airborne soldier Steve Martinez thought he was merely going to breakfast with his wife and daughters Monday, since he had the day off.
What the Vietnam veteran didn't know was that they intended to surprise him with a VIP seat at the San Diego Veterans Day parade – his first-ever Veterans Day parade after a long period of never speaking about his service.
Martinez, 67, was nearly overwhelmed when his daughters took off jackets to unveil T-shirts that said, "Proud Daughter of 101st Airborne."
"I'm surprised I can speak to you now," he said, composing himself. "It was a long time waiting for a lot of us. Quite a few of us didn't come home on good terms with people."
What Veterans Day means to him now? "It's an honor to say, 'Hey, I am a vet,"' Martinez said.
At least 15,000 people lined Harbor Drive for the mid-morning event, which organizers hope to build into the largest on the West Coast.
Bands from the Marine Corps and Navy performed, among more than 100 entries. The spectacle started at Grape Street, flowed down Harbor Drive and then turned onto Broadway.
The parade was dedicated to Vietnam veterans this year, as the nation enters a period of 50-year anniversaries of that conflict.
The parade grand marshals were Medal of Honor recipients Jay Vargas and John Baca, two of the three San Diegans who wear the top combat valor award for that war.
Vietnam veterans sitting along the parade route said they appreciate the recognition, even though it comes much delayed.
A few young people with military-short haircuts dotted the crowd on the sidewalk. Marine Gunnery Sgt. John Burns was there to enjoy the day off with his family and to share the holiday with brothers-in-arms.
"For us, it's camaraderie with all those that came before us," Burns said. "Everything we have today came because of them. The sacrifices they made and lessons they learned are things we use today."
The population of American World War II veterans is dwindling, but Girl Scouts carried photos of dozens as part of the Spirit of '45 parade unit.
Robert Dingeman was able to be there himself. The retired Army colonel survived the attack on Pearl Harbor and went on to serve in the Korean and Vietnam conflicts. A school in Scripps Ranch is named for him.
Dingeman got around Monday with the help of a wheeled chair, but he was pleased to sit front-row at the parade.
"I just say, 'God bless America.' And thank all veterans for their wonderful service as citizen soldiers," he said.

LONG BEACH, N. Y. (Nov. 14)
An appeal to the Soviet Government to permit a "representative, cross-sectional body of American Jewish leaders to conduct a free, unfettered and uninhibited fact-finding study of the status, welfare and general conditions of the Jewish citizens of the USSR" was voiced here last night by Rabbi Mordecai Kirshblum, president of the Religious Zionists of America.
Addressing the opening session of the organization's 54th annual convention here, Rabbi Kirshblum noted that there have been many reports of anti-Semitic practices in the USSR, and that Soviet authorities have denied these "accusations of religious and cultural genocide." Only a fact-finding group, spending a month in the Soviet Union without hindrance, he said, could report "on the current situation regarding Russian Jewry objectively and reliably."
Rabbi Kirshblum also condemned recent demonstrations held by Jewish religious zealots in front of the Israeli Consulate in New York. Such demonstrations, he said, were "shameful." He called on all Israelis to resolve religious conflicts peacefully, and to call on their Government "to elevate religious tenets in the running of the State." But such requests, he insisted, "must be made within the framework of responsible and enlightened procedures for the attainment of desired religious goals. Violence can only lead to disaster and shame for all parties concerned."
Yitzhak Raphael, Israel's Deputy Minister of Health, advocated today before 800 delegates to the 54th annual convention of the Religious Zionists of America "the setting up of a central rabbinic body with binding jurisdiction to resolve all the religious-law complications and ramifications which have flown from Israel's rapid growth and accelerated mode of economic and social operations."
"This body would be accepted and recognized by the Government of Israel and all Jewish communities throughout the civilized world," he said. "This authoritative council would be able to give rulings and advice on all crucial legal and religious questions which confront Jewry in its attempt to preserve the fundamental tenets of Judaism."
He also said that the "existence of such a central body could have prevented the recent outbreaks of violence and extremism which have compromised the position of honor, trust and respect that Israel has enjoyed in the family of nations. Since there is no organized rabbinic body with mandatory power to help alleviate and overcome the controversies which characterize the relations between the religious and non-religious elements in Israel and elsewhere, a veritable vacuum exists which can only bring about undesirable conflict and harm to all Jewish communities."

HP OpenVMS Systems Documentation
POLYCENTER Software Installation Utility Developer's Guide
By default, the software function tests the state the product will be in when the operation finishes, not when the operation begins. The same effect is obtained when you include the installed after option. To test the state of the referenced product when the operation begins, you must specify the installed before option. If you specify the kit accessible option, the function tests whether the referenced product kit is present in the source directory.
The function value is true if the following conditions exist; otherwise, the value is false:
The software function is more appropriate than the software statement if you need only verify the existence of a certain product.
You use the software function with the if statement, as shown in the following example:
Using the software function with the if statement gives you much more flexibility in forming expressions with other functions, and allows you to perform multiple actions in the form of groups of statements.
If the software function reference is not satisfied, you can display an error message with an error statement. This message allows a message of any size and contents. (Note that an error message induced by an unsatisfied software statement is rigid, short, and potentially less informative.)
You can use the abort option on an error statement to unconditionally terminate the software function operation, while the failed software statement leaves the user with an option to continue the product installation.
Summary of Differences Between the Statement and Function
Table 7-10 summarizes the differences between the software statement and the software function.
A common mistake is for a layered product's PDF to include a software statement reference to a VMS (OpenVMS operating system) product, or to an OPENVMS platform (product suite that includes the OpenVMS operating system).
It is acceptable to reference the OpenVMS operating system from a software statement if your product relies on the presence of the library files supplied by the operating system. However, do not reference the OpenVMS platform from a software statement.
If you need to verify the OpenVMS operating system version before the installation of the layered product can proceed and complete successfully, use the software function instead:
If you do use the software statement, you should expect the following results:
system parameter
The system parameter statement allows you to display a message to users that expresses system parameter requirements for your product.
Syntaxsystem parameter name
{ { consume | require } value |
maximum value |
minimum value |
minimum value maximum value } ;
The system parameter statement displays a message to users about system parameter requirements for your product after the installation. Note that the utility does not adjust system parameters.See Also information
process parameter
The upgrade statement specifies the versions of the product that can be upgraded by the product kit being installed. If the product is currently installed but its version does not meet the version selection criteria in the upgrade statement, the installation is terminated. The upgrade statement has no effect when the product is being installed for the first time.

i am a 42 years old female. I have never had any acne in my life not even a pimple so my skin is very smooth. My skin has started to sag though and have major crows feet. I want to get firmer skin without getting a facelift. I was thinking about fat transfer and fraxel laser. Is that a good combination that would give me results that I am looking for (tighter cleaner healthier skin with fewer wrinkles). What are my other options. Is there a Dr who offers this service in the DC metro area?

Combined Fat Injections and Laser Resurfacing for Facial Rejuvenation
If one facial aging issues are more volume loss than tissue saggnig, fat injection augmentation and laser resurfacing can be a good option for a rejuvenative effect. These two procedures can be combined although the healing from laser resurfacing can be as much as that of a facelift in terms of duration.

Fat transfer and fraxel
Volume loss is regularly reported by patients after fraxel ( check real self complications) if you want this combination do the fraxel ( or any technology that is energy based) first and then the fat transfer. This will give the best chance for maximizing your result

While laser surgery is great there are other new procedure to consider. Ulthera has some nice results and reviews! There are so many different combinations of treatments that are good so do some research and pick a reputable doctor who you trust.
Tightening the face skin
The gold standard for smoothing wrinkles in the face and skin tightening remains the CO2 laser resurfacing. Provided your skin color allows that.
If the face has lost volume then fat transfer is the only way to restore volume to the face
Fat Injections and Laser Resurfacing Offer Excellent Option for Facial Rejuvenation
Fat Injections and Laser Resurfacing Offer An Excellent Option for Facial Rejuvenation. Most patients in their 40s and 50s will have excellent results by combining these two procedures for volume enhancement and smoothening of facial lines and wrinkles. If skin laxity is too advanced, however, a surgical facelift will give superior results, though it is also accompanied by far greater risks and side effects.

The 30th Annual Jack Monroe Beach Ride is in full swing at Lakewood Camping Resort in Horry County.
The Beach Ride is a fundraising event that brings horse owners from all over to camp and ride their horses on the beach.
More than 1,000 participants are expected to take part in this year's events that run through Sunday.
Hannah Rangel, 14, has come for the past three years to celebrate her birthday, which is November 5th.
She has been riding since the age of nine and really enjoys being here. She says, "It's really cool being able to talk to other people. You meet people from all over the world down here, and there's gorgeous horses that I've never seen before."
Her favorite part is being able to take her horse, Tucson, swimming in the ocean.
Some of the events include a poker run, costume contest and parade, and a twenty mile beach run.
The money raised this week will go to the American Heart Association.

How common is OCD?
The closest estimates are that about 1 in 100 people – or between 2 to 3 million individuals - in the United States – currently have OCD. This is roughly the same number as people living in Houston, Texas.
At least 1 in 200 – or 500,000 – children, youth and teens have OCD. This is equal to the number of kids with diabetes. That means four or five kids with OCD are likely to be enrolled in any average size elementary school. In medium to large high schools, there can be over 20 students struggling with the problems caused from suffering from OCD.
Men, women and children of all races and backgrounds can be affected by OCD.
According to a recent Miami Herald article:
"Brain-imaging research has helped to uncover the brain-related dysfunction that manifests as OCD. Thus, like Alzheimer's disease and depression, OCD is a disease of the brain. OCD can run in families; rituals can be learned by children from their parents."
"Fortunately, OCD is treatable...forms of psychotherapy can have marked success in alleviating the distress and disability associated with OCD."
In this course, Joan Kaylor takes you through effective EFT and Gentle Behavior Therapy modules, guiding you towards a better situation dealing with your compulsive thoughts.
You will learn the basics of EFT and Gentle Behavior Therapy. Then you will discover through experiential lectures, how this modality can affect your thoughts.

After earning her B.A. in sociology and psychology from Muskingum College in Ohio, Joan began working as a real estate property manager. She pulled her hair more than ever and added compulsive checking to her list of OCD traits. She did not hide her pulling from her co-workers but was dismayed to think she was the only one who pulled and that no mental health professional knew how to help her. She had been to a psychiatrist and therapist who were unable to help her. This was before current medications and treatment methods were known.
Joan began pulling her hair at age 11 in 6th grade. Her pulled from her scalp for 25 years from age 11 to 36. In 1989, she read the book "The Boy Who Couldn't Stop Washing" by Judith Rapoport, M.D. Upon reading her book, she discovered "Jackie P.", a woman who pulled out every hair on her head and face. From her insistence, she would not be turned away by the NIMH study of OCD. From Jackie P's courage to come forward, herself and millions of "pullers" now know they are not alone with Trichotillomania.
Trichotillomania is the inability to resist the urge to pull out hair resulting in noticeable hair loss. The act of pulling comforts, eases emotional pain, and is fun until the pulling episode is over. Then the puller experiences extreme shame, disgust, and anger over mutilating themselves and losing control. " I have been on both sides of this fence and have dedicated my life to helping people out of this cycle" Kaylor states.
From the studies at the National Institute of Mental Health … and because of the work of the Trichotillomania Learning Center and Obsessive-Compulsive Foundation, millions of people now can recognize symptoms of trichotillomania and OCD.

Andrew Pastirik on trial for vandalism
ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) - A U.S. government employee who struck and killed a man while driving in Zimbabwe in 2008 is scheduled to go on trial in Virginia, but he's not being charged with the man's death.
Andrew Pastirik goes on trial Monday on charges of vandalism for causing more than $1,000 in damage to the Toyota Land Cruiser he was driving. If convicted, he could face up to 10 years in prison.
Prosecutors say Pastirik was drunk when he struck and killed 34-year-old Alois Pedzisai Matyoramhinga in Zimbabwe's capital of Harare.
Michael Scharf, a law professor with Case Western Reserve University specializing in international law, says prosecutors hands are likely tied in Pastirik's case. While the U.S. government can prosecute citizens who commit murder abroad, that does not apply to vehicular manslaughter.

I've received a number of letters from aspiring young drummers who are frustrated with the difficulties of making it in today's music business. These young drummers are, for the most part, hardworking and willing to make sacrifices to succeed. But they're unsure as to how to proceed.
Let's examine the problems that all musicians face in today's professional environment. First of all, there are more drummers than ever before-but fewer places in which to play and gain experience. In Los Angeles, there are so many groups looking for opportunities that bands very often play for nothing. This is called "showcasing" because the hope is that a manager or record company representative will hear the band and give them a chance. Less fortunate groups are often asked to "pay to play" by selling tickets to all of their friends. The group has to buy the tickets from the club. If they are unable to sell all of the tickets, the group loses money.
No doubt, we are in a competitive business, but those who are undaunted by the odds may still want to give it a go. Once you've made that decision, you should prepare for success in every way that you can. Play, study, listen, work, watch and practice because it is always best to try to be ready for any opportunity.
Young women have an even tougher time as drummers, because a lot of men won't give them a chance-or refuse to take them seriously. Although I think this has been changing for the better in recent years, it's happening very slowly.
Musicians want to be paid a great deal of money- to do what they want to do. In most other jobs, the boss not only tells you what to do, but how to do it. This is tough for creative people who deeply want to express their personal feelings and point of view. If you expect to be paid to play what you want to play, you will have to be very good indeed.
Not everyone has the talent to be a superstar-or even a working professional drummer. Evaluating your chances can be a tough task. We all desperately want the chance to show what we can do. Along with giving it your best effort, you should also be honest with yourself. Listen to the top players, with respect and use them as a guide for your progress. Give yourself a chance to succeed. But if after some time you feel that you will honestly not be a top player, relax! Have some fun. Make playing your creative outlet. After all, you can have a lot of fun playing even if you are not a superstar.
Personality is also a significant factor in a musician's success. Talented people who have difficulty working with others often don't do as well as they should. So less talented-but more cooperative-drummers sometimes get the jobs.
Then we have the age-old conflict of money versus music. Should you join a talented "originals" band and rehearse month after month for no money or should you join a Top-40 band and make good money but enjoy the music less? One thought is that if you have little or no playing experience, you should join a Top-40 band. At least you will be playing, getting experience, performing in front of people and being paid at the same time. You can always graduated to a more creative band once you have some experience.
The other approach is to play in a Top-40 band and rehearse with an "originals" band until something breaks. Many top studio players often work clubs for low money just for the chance to play, stay in shape and have some fun.
Unrealistically high expectations can be another hindrance. When my son, who plays guitar, was a teenager, he told me that he intended to make one hit album do one giant tour, and then retire and never have to work again. But he soon realized that life is not that easy. Now in his late twenties, he has recently stared a small business. He still loves to play but has decided that life of touring isn't for him. He is happy, still loves music and enjoys his new business. This was his way of working things out.
We are in a tough business, so be prepared. Learn all you can about music and drumming while you're young. Read some books on the "business" of music. Remember, work and preparation, plus opportunity, equal luck. Give it your best hot and see what happens.

As a motorist don't like exceeding the speed limit. And I'm terrified of rollercoaster rides.
So the prospect of taking to the Killarney race track in a supercharged racing car - even as a passenger - rendered me a virtual wreck.
But there I was in the pits at Killarney, speaking to race car driver Donovan Symes, who was about to take me for a spin in a Porsche 935.
Symes, from Benoni, will take part in the Pro Tour Motor Racing Road Show on Saturday at Killarney.
I casually ask how fast we're expected to go.
Symes calmly responds: "Hey this car can get up to 250km/h on a track like this."
I nod confidently, but suddenly, inexplicably, I feel the back of my neck heating up. The deafening zing of race cars rushing drowns out bits of our conversation and increases my heart rate.
Above the screech of skidding tyres and the "zwing" of the passing cars, I hear Symes explain: "This is very basic, like in the old days – there are no computers and advanced technology and equipment to tell me what is wrong with the car - so I go with what I feel."
I gulp.
Photographer Henk Kruger giggles at my side and with a reassuring hand on my shoulder says: "You are going to sh*t yourself."
Symes, who will be competing in the GT Classic category, is racing in Cape Town for the first time.
On the race track all I see is an orange machine - the adrenalin pumper. I feel a cold sweat on my forehead and start to believe that I'm going to make headlines as the journalist who died of a heart attack on a race track. In a swift motion I am bundled into the purring bright orange beast, strapped into the passenger seat and told to keep my arms away from the gears.
With one hand clutching a bar and the other firmly gripping the seat I glance at Symes one last time in a show of bravado, before we blast off.
I have no idea how fast we are going.
Symes changes gears and my stomach flips the way it did the first time I rode the Cobra at Ratanga Junction. I start to laugh uncontrollably and find myself shouting at every corner and every gear change.
At some point I close my eyes and call for my mother. Another gear change and I hear the rumbling engine, through my paced breaths - trying not to vomit in my helmet.
We pull into the garage. Henk, clicking away furiously, gives me a high-five. I'm dizzy, out of breath and I feel like a rock star, all at once. - Cape Argus

NEW YORK (Dec. 26)
American Jewish youth born abroad show more normal behavior patterns in their reactions to anti-Jewish bias and discriminations than the American-born Jewish youth, a Jewish scholar declared last night in an address at the 37th annual conference of the Yivo Institute for Jewish Research. The conference, which opened last Saturday, will conclude its six days of sessions tomorrow.
The comparison of reactions by foreign-born and American-born Jewish youths was made by Dr. Victor D. Sanua, associate professor of psychology at Yeshiva University. He said the young American Jews born outside the United States react the way they do because of their stronger Jewish identification, which gives them greater security than that possessed by the Jewish youth born in this country. However, he pointed out, there have been, as yet, too few studies in this field to justify firm conclusions.
Another speaker, Leibush Lehrer, chairman of Yivo's scientific collegium, discussed the reactions by second-generation and third-generation American Jews to the Nazi holocaust. He found that the younger Jews in this group show "greater sensitivity to the holocaust" than displayed by the older members of the group.

This is one of those quilts I have always wanted to make. Purple and olive has been my favorite color combination since I was a teenager (back in the dark ages). I also have this special affinity for the drunkards path pattern. Well, the day finally came and one snowy winter week, I finally did get to it and make that long dreamed on quilt. It is 8'X8' and hangs on my long staircase wall in my home in Coastal Maine.

The Pixies Say No To Record Company, Focus On Touring
from the good-for-them dept
Ever since Napster came out, it was easy to see that it was going to be increasingly difficult to just make money selling CDs. This seems fairly obvious, of course, but when people asked where the money would come from, it seemed equally obvious that the money would come from using the music to promote other items for sale, such as concert tickets, fan clubs, access to the artists and plenty of other ideas. Some people responded that (a) no artist would make as much and (b) what about artists who don't like to tour? There are simple answers, of course. Most musicians don't make any money. Under this plan, those few super star artists may not get as rich, but it would be much easier for other artists to make a reasonable amount of money -- since they wouldn't have to go through the same record label/radio promotion process. As for the question of musicians who don't want to tour... too bad. I'd love to be able to sit here and have people pay me entirely based on what I wrote yesterday, but it doesn't happen. I needed to come up with a business model that continued to make me money, and so do musicians. One group that seems to have at least figured out the basics of this is the Pixies. Rather than sign a record deal, they admit: "That's not where the money is. The business is with the real customers, the fans. They're the ones who say, 'OK, we'll come and see you perform." So, they haven't signed a record deal, but are out making money touring... and selling exclusive recordings of the shows right after they happen (which might violate a patent, but that's another story). It's funny that the music "industry" which is supposed to house the business whizzes is struggling to figure out what they can do other than sue people, while the musicians are out there reinventing the actual industry.

Esterline CMC Electronics is asking NBAA attendees for feedback on its latest development, a touchscreen control and voice recognition system for its SmartDeck avionics suite. CMC is also showing its newest electronic flight bag (EFB) technology, which includes the ability to share flight plans and aircraft data with Apple iPads using CMC's Tandem system.
Canada's Cobalt Aircraft Industries has become the second OEM to select SmartDeck, for its Co50 five-place piston single. The Co50 SmartDeck suite will include two 12-inch displays, dual ADAHRS, Waas GPS, a dedicated 6.5-inch flight planning and radio management display, integrated digital autopilot and audio control system. Pilots will have access to modern features such as Taws-B, TCAS/traffic advisory system, satellite weather, lightning detection and synthetic vision. Certification of the Co50 is expected in 18 to 24 months. "It's exciting for us to have a home in the piston world," said Greg Plantz, SmartDeck director of marketing and sales.
The first OEM to specify a SmartDeck system was Evektor, for the EV-55 Outback twin turboprop. Evektor recently announced an order for nine EV-55s, with an option for 20 more, by Russian geophysical exploration company AeroGeo.
The portable SmartDeck demonstrator in the CMC booth will be used to evaluate user feedback, not only on SmartDeck but also the new touchscreen and voice recognition system that CMC is testing. The controller uses infrared beams to detect the user's touch, not the capacitive touchscreen found on tablet computers and smartphones. It's not a locked-in design," said Plantz. "There are still some arguments for both [types]. Our human factors engineers are testing the waters." Cobalt and Evektor aren't incorporating the touch/voice controller in their SmartDecks, but, he added, "If it fits with their certification plan, we'll try to offer these advanced features."
On the flight bag front, CMC is taking advantage of the latest technology, including speedy Intel Core i7 processors, to add interesting new capabilities to its certified PilotView EFB platform. At its NBAA booth, CMC is demonstrating new 3-D rendering technology that helps pilots with positional awareness when flying into challenging terrain areas. The processor upgrade is a big jump from previous EFBs running Intel Pentium M or Celeron chips and allows CMC to add the new capabilities.
"We can run more apps simultaneously [on the EFBs]," said Jean-Marie Begis, EFB product line director. "Operators can use Jeppesen charts as well as other apps like terrain awareness, weather, moving maps, etc. It has a very powerful graphics processor."

South Americans, students, cheer new pope
Updated 11:30 p.m.
Roman Catholics around Greater Chicago watched eagerly Wednesday as the new pope was announced in Rome.
Pope Francis, who is Argentine, is the first pontiff from South America.
At Tango Sur, an Argentinean restaurant on Chicago's North Side, Chicagoans from his native country and Bolivia celebrated Wednesday night.
"We are excited, we are happy," said Julia Encinas. "Finally a pope from Latin America. We think it's the best representation of actually maybe more than half of the Catholics in this whole country or maybe even the world."
"I couldn't believe it when it came out, when this announcement was Argentine," said Alejandro Gonzalez. "I was proud, you know, because (of) being Argentine. My mom she was also excited, my whole family was excited."
The leader of the Argentine American Midwest Chamber of Commerce, Jaime Rojkind, said he was pleasantly surprised. He said the choice speaks to the important role Latin America plays in Catholicism.
"He's a humble man with a great reputation," Rojkind said. "So I think he was a good choice, represents Latin America well. I think in the context, it could've been Brazil, a very important contender. But of course, as Argentineans, we're very happy that it was him."
Rojkind says he also admires the 76-year-old pope's humble beginnings. Pope Francis' parents were working-class immigrants from Italy.
Earlier in the day, students in the freshmen religion class at St. Patrick High School in Portage Park tuned in to the announcement.
All eyes were on the TV in the corner of the classroom as students waited for the new pope to appear for the first time, by walking out on the balcony in the Vatican.
"I think for them, they sense the history that's going on. I think at age 14 or 15, it's hard to grasp it totally," said their teacher, Rich Raho. "But they clearly are excited."
Cheers erupted in the classroom as Argentine Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio made his entrance as the newly elected Pope Francis.
Student Ben Stojack said the outcome wasn't exactly what he had been expecting.
"It's a bit of a surprise that he came from Argentina. I was expecting someone from Africa, actually," Stojack said. "[But] as long as he's a good pope, I'm happy."
Africa is the world's quickest-growing region for Catholics, while South America has the largest concentration.
Teacher Rich Raho says the class had been learning about the conclave process and the candidates for pope.
"I'm excited to be able to share this moment with the students," Raho said.

Early in the morning on a hot and humid July day in Central America, a group of Los Altos High School students begin their work. One foot in front of the other, they haul armfuls of bricks up a steep hill.
When they finish working for the day, the students return to the homes of their host families – but not to play video games or log on to the Internet. They share a family dinner, then help wash dishes before playing board games.
During the two-week trip to Nicaragua to build classrooms for underprivileged youth, the Los Altos High students did just fine without many of the comforts they are accustomed to. The dramatic change in lifestyle may have been good for them.
Just ask Los Altos senior Gaby Seltzer.
"I totally appreciate everything and it changed my perspective," Seltzer said, "but also, I want to do something with everything that I've gotten out of it. It definitely made me see that I can make differences on a personal level."
That was clear from the start of the trip, sponsored by the One Dollar For Life high school charity. Although the students split their time evenly between building two elementary-school classrooms and touring the country, the main focus was on the construction project.
The students spent six days with Nicaraguan host families while working on the classrooms.
"The classrooms were in kind of a broken down, wooden building," said senior Sophia Steffens. "It just wasn't really proper for them to be learning in. They didn't have enough desks and things, so we built them two new classrooms."
The students contributed hundreds of man-hours and laid the foundation for the classrooms.
"We got all of the brick walls up and then they were going to do a layer of cement," Seltzer said. "We built the foundation and leveled the ground and all that kind of stuff."
Although the students were not able to finish the project, other volunteer groups will put the finishing touches on the new classrooms in the coming months.
The Nicaraguan children usually attended classes in two buildings on the same site while the Americans worked on the addition. One day, the children took a break from their lessons to help the Los Altos students.
"My favorite part was when we were working on the school and the kids, who were probably between first- and sixth-graders, came outside when they should have been in classes," Steffens said. "They all came out and helped us with a lot of the work, so it was just really nice to see we were really working together to build their new classroom. We all had the same goals."
That's the lasting memory Steffens retains from the trip. Despite significant cultural and economic differences, she found striking similarities between life in the Bay Area and Nicaragua.
"I think really the most important part was getting to see what other people lived like and seeing all the differences, but also seeing really mostly all the similarities," Steffens said. "Little things are different. The food is different, how people dress is different, their schools are different, but the families all really support each other and are close knit and really value their families and I think that's similar to how it is here."

School Days in Pennington County- Early 1900s
When mother called us, we made a quick dash from the warmth of the bed to the oven door, which she so kindly had put down for our little bodies. If you have never dressed before the open oven door near a wood burning stove, you don't know what family closeness is. And then it was "wash your hands and face before breakfast". That was a wonderful feeling because the reservoir on the stove always had a good supply of "just right" warm water. That started the day out really good.
Breakfast almost always was the same, except maybe in the middle of summer, but oatmeal was the No. 1 breakfast food. Anybody, or almost everybody, can make oatmeal, but when mother dished it up for us it seemed to taste extra special. Nobody talked about calories and we always used cream or milk and cream. Then our toast . . that was something! Bread was held directly over the fire by either a fork or a make-shift grate and you would get one side just right and then turn it over . . then butter it. That was toast! Cold milk and maybe a dish of dried, cooked apples would be dumped over the oatmeal or eaten separately and we were ready to meet the whole world.
The "school marm" stayed over at the neighbor's place - usually the same place every year because that was the closest place to the schoolhouse. She was teacher and janitor, the whole thing.
We had a little over 1-1/2 miles to school. That isn't so far when the weather is nice. In fact, in the spring, we could watch the little flowers open their faces, the leaves on the trees grow bit by bit each day, and see the rushing water in the ditch along the road we walked. But in the winter, we walked almost every day - all bundled. On extra cold days, dad would harness up a team of horses and we would ride in the cutter or maybe when he was ready to go and get another load of hay down the field near the school, we would ride in the hay rack. Anything was better than walking on those days!
Mother would have everything lined up ready for our day at school. She would have made a good "Factory Boss". I used to think she had a way of getting us dressed and ready to go with dad in the fastest time. Regardless where we "lost" our mittens the day before, she would always have them "extra warm" for us, popping them out of the warming oven on the stove. Our coats and caps were right where we should have put them the night before. We wore heavy wool stockings on these days and heavy sweaters too because oftentimes the schoolhouse was not that warm. The teacher sometimes didn't have good skill in building a fire and the wood in the burner at school just wouldn't "catch". It would be half a day before we felt like taking our coats and overshoes off.
We always carried our lunch in a pail. Everybody carried the same kind of a meal . . . 99% of the time they were jelly sandwiches. The only difference might be some mothers could make better jelly than others. Cookies were on the menu too. Something special would be a piece of cake and maybe even an apple on occasion. But we were all in the same boat, so what? The bigger boys always had the duty of carrying in wood and water, if the pump worked.
School lessons were many. What angels God had made into teachers! The whole school sometimes had 15 to 20 pupils (even more) and they ranged from the first through the eighth grade. Maybe the first grade had two or three, second had a couple, maybe three in the fourth grade, one or two in the fifth, a few more in sixth, and some in the eighth. The teacher would have four or five subjects to teach in each grade. When it was time for your class period in arithmetic, for instance, you came to the front of the room, and in complete isolation from the rest of the room (for they were supposed to be studying their own lessons) you and the teacher were working your lessons together. Every class had the same "privilege" . . . be it reading, writing, or arithmetic, etc.
After a day at school, it was back to the old "homestead". On cold days, and there were many, most parents were there to pick up their children. If some lived along the way, it was just a case of piling in the sled for the ride home.
On the bitterly cold days, sun dogs could be seen in the sky. The crackling snow underfoot would remind us of the longing for it to be summer again. Oh, when would it be warm again? The old thermometer on the gate post might register 15 degrees below zero at 5:00 p.m. and dad would say that that was the "highest" it had been all day.

Victim Describes Attack By Stranger in Westerville Park
A Mt. Gilead man said he was violently attacked along a Westerville bike path.
Jason Hubbell, 39, said he was caught off guard when a stranger sucker punched him on the bike path along Schrock Road.
Hubbell says the crime happened on Christmas Eve. He was visiting a friend at Saint Ann's Hospital and went for a walk to smoke a cigarette. He says he ended up walking along the nearby bike path when he says he was approached by a stranger.
"He said 'hey, he asked me for a cigarette so I gave him one, I gave him a light and then gave it back to me and just hit me,'" Hubbell said.
Hubbell said was briefly knocked unconscious after hitting his face on a sandstone barrier. He says he wasn't able to get a good description of the suspect who ran off.
Hubbell thinks the attack may have been related to a crime known as the "knockout game" where assailants attempt to knock out an unsuspecting victim for amusement.
Although the assault didn't dampen his holiday spirit, it did force him to be more cautious.
"It was dark, I wasn't paying attention. It's just crazy I don't understand it you know? Especially on Christmas Eve," he said.
Hubbell is hopeful police make an arrest soon. Westerville Police are asking the public to be vigilant and aware of your surroundings at all times.

Doctors are calling it "Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS)"
By Pete Sweeney SYRACUSE, NY (NCC News)— As soon as a drug-exposed baby is born, it is possible that the child can have what doctors are now calling Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome, or NAS.
Mothers that have used narcotics from as long as the entire pregnancy to as short as a couple weeks create a chance of giving the baby NAS, which, in reality, is a kinder name for withdrawal symptoms.
"Withdrawal in a baby is a screaming, high-shrilled, shrieking, tense child with diarrhea, vomiting [and] shaking," describes Dr. Michelle Bode, a neonatologist at Crouse Hospital. "It's hard to watch."
Legal addiction
It may be easy to assume that this problem is as a result of an illegal use of narcotics, but in many, many cases, it is not. NAS can result from abuse of legal narcotics. Example:
A pregnant woman hurts her neck and is prescribed painkillers by a doctor. The woman finds the painkillers to make both physical and emotional pain go away and becomes addicted to the pills. Eventually, after taking pain killers for weeks, her baby is born with NAS.
As can be seen from the example, it's important to realize that this problem comes from mothers of all walks of life.
Alarming rate in Onondaga County
In the United States, newborn drug-related discharge rate is on average about 3.3 babies of every 1,000. In the state, that number rises to 6.9 babies. But in Onondaga County, the rate jumps to 26 of every 1000 newborns.
Monika Taylor, the director of Behavioral Health at Crouse believes that there's a valid reason for this.
"The statistic to some degree is artificial. What the statistic doesn't account for is it's based on the county the child is born in," she said.
This is relevant because of the neonatal center found in Syracuse. Because of the center, women with addiction problems from nearby counties ship in to get help before they birthed their babies. When the baby with NAS is born here, that baby counts toward the statistic even though it will not live in the county.
Group effort
Fighting the problem of addicted mothers-to-be and babies with NAS is a group effort. For NAS to go away, those with issues need to know it's OK to come forward and ask for help.
Syracuse boasts five action groups that are doing their part to help change the lives of pregnant women for the better.
- District Attorney's Prescription Drug Abuse Task Force
- NAS Elimination Team
- FASD (Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders) Center for Excellence
- Safe and Healthy Neighborhoods (SaHN)
- Syracuse Healthy Start
The good news
The silver lining is that women using narcotics have a chance to reverse the damage in their babies caused by drug use. If the women were to have used alcohol, negative changes made to an unborn baby could be irreversible.
The sooner troubled pregnant women reach out for help, the better off they will be.

When Raptors Ruled the Earth
Hey kids! Let's go back in time, oh, about 2 million years ought to do it... to a time when humans were less "evolved" than we are today. Back when you had more to worry about than your cell phone coverage, how many carbs in that baked potato, and how Dale, Jr. finished at Talladega (OK, bad example). In that time in prehistory, when you painted your blog on the wall of your cave, you also had to worry that you might get killed and consumed by a large raptor.
The Associated Press reports today that recent findings by a South African anthropologist confirm that the smallest prehistoric people of 2 million years ago may have been preyed upon by large raptors--the same birds that were preying upon monkeys. These birds still roam the earth today in the form of the large African eagle species.
Fascinating stuff, this. Check out the full story.
