Over a long and illustrious career that's still going strong, Calvin Keys has played with most if not all of the great jazz organists of the past 50 years: Jimmie McGriff, Jack McDuff, Jimmy Smith -- "Man, he was a beast!" And of course Ray Charles, with whom Keys played for over a decade on the road and in the studio.
So it's fitting that Keys' first time as a headliner in the where he plays on Grove Street, he's bringing that classic organ quartet sound to town, featuring young Brian Ho on the Hammond B3. (Concert is sold out.)
"He's learning, he's going to get better too, so I been helping him as much as I can," said the 70-year old guitarist of his new keyboard accompanist. "That's what we gotta do, we got to pass it on to these youngsters. He gives me a lot of respect, and I love him and work with him as much as I can."
Keys plays on Ho's CD of last year, "Organic," and you can expect to hear some of that bluesy jazz with a modern twist - maybe some Wes Montgomery followed by an Amy Winehouse tune. Other musicians on stage Friday night will include Art Maxwell on sax and flute and Leon Joyce on drums, the core of today's Calvin Keys Trio.
According to the Oakland Tribute, "Keys' most famous work is his 1971 debut, 'Shawn-Neeq,' which many consider a stone-cold classic." That album, originally release on Black Jazz Records, was re-released this January on vinyl only - no CD is available - with a celebration concert and party at Yoshi's in Oakland.
I spoke at length with Keys earlier this week about his career, his favorite kinds of music and his coming performance in Healdsburg. Keys is a jazz guitarist whose experience is matched only by his influences, and his own influence has become almost unmatched among today's jazz guitarists. Here are excerpts from our conversation:
You're bringing an organ quartet to Healdsburg. Why do you think you're recognized as a guitarist who plays so well with organists?
I don't know why earlier in my career, I played with a lot of different organ players. We just jumped and played whenever the situation called for it. That's what most guitar players did, it caused them to take a step forward because it worked so well with the organ. Especially after you heard Jimmy Smith and Kenny Burrell, who did not like that guitar with that organ?
It was a natural sound, because the guitar is one of the few instruments that can cut through that organ too.
How did you get started in music?
I'm from Omaha, Nebraska - I moved to Oakland in 1974, but I've been coming to the Bay Area playing since 1961. I was travelling with Frank Edwards, an organ trio out of Kansas City.
Frank Edwards, he was a master organ player. Like Jimmy Smith, Jackie MacDuff, he was on that level. At that time it was a learning process. He's the one [Edwards] that hipped me to all the jazz standards, Duke Ellington and Count Basie, to name a few.
I started out with Frank Edwards, then I ended up in Denver and there was an organ player named Al Moore, Al "Mr. Hammond" Moore, we never did any recording but I stayed around about a year and worked with him. I got a chance to work with Bill Doggett at one time.
Jimmy Smith, he was a beast. On the organ, wow. I got a chance to play with him several different times, but he was a beast on organ.
Was Black Jazz a kind of political alternative to white recording studios?
Not really. The name can fool you. We were going through some things then in terms of trying to get our identity, and Gene Russell was the founder of Black Jazz Records. I think it was during the time when them brothers gave the black power salute at the Olympics [1968]. It was a movement going on in the country about equal rights and getting away from that slavery mentality and all that.
That album, 'Shawn-Neeq.' We had Bob Bray on drums, Lawrence Evans on bass, Larry Nash on piano, and Owen Marshall playing hose-a-phone, boo-nette and flute. Now a hose-a-phone, Owen Marshall had taken a garden hose about 3 feet long, put holes in it, put a reed mouthpiece on it with a [trumpet] bell at the end. Did the same thing with a piece of bamboo, he called that the boo-nette.
So that was the sound that I was getting on the first album, and the closest I could get with that was Art Maxwell playing a bass clarinet. I did a concert of that album at Yoshi's on January 9, this year, and man, it was beautiful. And the vinyl was re-issued on January 10, in vinyl only. They reviewed me in Downbeat and got four stars. I'm bringing him (Maxwell) up there with me, too.
Tell me about playing with Ray Charles, was he a beast too?
He was incredible. That was some of the greatest moments in my musical career, working with Ray. And then I got tired of doing that organ thing, I wanted to get into a trio, but I had no idea it would be the Ahmad Jamal Trio.
To me Ahmad was one of the greatest piano players that ever lived. I had the chance to play with him not only for a few days, I worked with him for a few years. It was incredible. Someone said to me, Cal, Miles is looking for a guitar player. I said, So?
Tell me about your disco period. I'm asking everyone that now.
Disco? Disco? I mean, we always played funk! That's what the disco's about. And that stuff they call smooth jazz? Oh, come on. Hank Crawford. Grover Washington, Jr. King Curtis. You dig? Go back and listen to that music they was playing, that's what these cats are calling smooth jazz now. We been doing that all along. Now these youngsters come up with it and it's valid, you know, I got a couple of albums on Wide Hive records. I'm a funk master! I can play that stuff. You got to be kidding.
How did you learn to play guitar?
When I was growing up in Omaha we had about four or five different guitar players. One was Wayne Bennett. You know Wayne played with Bobby Blue Bland all those years. And Wayne he had a younger brother named Jerry Bennett, that was a beast, and there was another cat named Papa Luther Guitar Woodrow, the Night Rider.
If you couldn't play Freddie King's 'Hideway,' or Gatemouth Brown 'Okie-Doke Stomp'? Or 'Honky Tonk'? That was the funk. We all played that funk, and that's what it was all about.
Till I heard Tal Farlow. I heard Tal Farlow and I said My God, now that's some guitar playing there. He was actually the first jazz artist guitar player that I heard, with some substance. The rest of those guys was just they came out of that … Grant Green, and then Kenny Burrell, then Wes (Montgomery) hit the scene, then my God, it was toast.
Kenny Burrell's going to be up here, too, on June 9.
Yeah, I'm going to try to get back up there for that. He is my beautiful guru, man, he has always inspired me to play, from the first time I met him - at the Five Spot in New York. I was with Ray Charles and we had three days off. I said, I want to go see Kenny.
We got there on a break. And when he got back up on the bandstand and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, we're going to get the set started now, but we got to acknowledge some of Ray Charles' musicians in the house. And as a matter of fact I want to have his guitar player, Calvin Keys, come up here and play some." Man, I almost fainted. That's how I met Kenny Burrell.
Don't you know that all these people are sitting around right now saying, 'Man, I got a chance to play with Calvin Keys.'
Really? Wow. But you know I'm saying the same thing about them, because that was a learning process.
Do you enjoy playing for a live audience?
I do. It feels so - refreshing to be able to play and have people enjoy your art. That's the blessing.
To me it's a way of sharing love. It's a love affair. Like I tell the audience, I say 'Hey, I want to thank you all for coming down and spending the evening with me, because this is a love affair. If you don't have any love in your heart, you can get up and leave now, please.' In a nice respectable way. Cause that's what this music is about, Love. And everything else. That's where my life is.
You don't get older, you get better at what you do. You know I had a setback about 15 years ago, I had a quadruple bypass. And I had to change some directions. I'm a musician, I'm human and I ain't perfect. I had to change a few things in my life that weren't agreeing with me. I change my diet, start exercising, start taking medication. Like I said, it's been 15 years.
I remember everything that's happened to me from a musical standpoint. God has blessed me, He's really blessed me. Like I say, I'm enjoying playing now more so than I ever have.

Osburn entered an Alford Plea Tuesday to three counts of each of first-degree murder and armed criminal assault. The plea is not an admission of guilt but a concession that there is enough evidence for a conviction.
Sentencing will be July 12.
The three workers in their 40s - Steven Weiss, Joseph Bisso and Robert Whitson - were among five sewer district workers socializing after a day of work at Lion's Park in the St. Louis County town of Valley Park on March 8, 2002.
Police said Osburn attacked them with a knife. He did not know the victims.

Kimberly McKinney, the CEO for Habitat for Humanity St. Louis, was overjoyed by the community willing to help, "This is pretty incredible. As they rolled the tools out, I got a little teary, and I don't even know how to use most of this stuff. Really, really an incredible day. The generosity fo Home Depot and the St. Louis community has been incredible."
Now thanks to those donations, a scheduled Habitat for Humanity Mother's Day build is back on track. About 60 women volunteers are coming together on Saturday to build houses for the less fortunate.

Mitt Romney victory speech in Tampa goes after Obama
Janelle Irwin
WMNF Drive-Time News Wednesday | Listen to this entire show:
Presidential candidate Mitt Romney won Florida's primary, which gives him a leg up on the Republican nomination. In a celebratory speech in front of hundreds of supporters last night at the Tampa Convention Center, Romney shifted his criticism from party rival Newt Gingrich to President Barack Obama during a flood of cheers.
Florida's winner-take-all 50 delegates now belong to Romney. His victory puts him at 87 delegates which are more than three times his closest competitor Newt Gingrich. The commanding lead may have given Romney the confidence to slow down his campaign against fellow Republicans in favor of November's bigger prize.
"President Obama believes that our roll as leader in the world is a thing of the past. He's intent on shrinking our military capacity at a time when the world is facing rising threats. I will insist on a military so powerful, no one would ever think of challenging it. President Obama has adopted a policy of appeasement and apology. I will speak out for those seeking freedom and I will stand shoulder to shoulder with out friends around the world."
The blitz campaign Romney ran against Gingrich in Florida was largely negative. Romney said Democrats see that as a silver lining, but it's not.
"They like to comfort themselves with the thought that a competitive campaign will leave us divided and weak. But I've got news for them. A competitive campaign primary does not divide us, it prepares us and we will win."
In his victory speech, Romney told supporters he's here to collect on Obama's promise that he would be a one term president if he couldn't fix the economy in three years. Romney reeled off a list of his own promises including protecting religious freedoms and restoring the economy.
"Our plans protect freedom and opportunity and our blueprint is the constitution of the United States. Together we will build an America where hope is a new job with a paycheck not a faded word on an old bumper sticker."
But even though Romney has triple the delegates of Gingrich, the race is far from over. Nevada will hold its caucuses Saturday on the same day the Maine caucuses begin. And still Romney needs more 1,000 delegates to secure the nomination. At an election night rally in Orlando Gingrich said he's in it for the long haul.
"We're going to have people power defeat money power in the next six months. We are going to contest every place and we are going to win and we will be in Tampa as the nominee in August."
Gingrich has lost and gained momentum several times throughout this primary campaign. His most recent surge came in winning the South Carolina primary. But that momentum quickly faded. At the Romney rally, out-of-towner Craig Rollins said he thinks Romney tried to stay out of the political mud and is confident he will be the next president.
"So, I think he has tried to rise above the morass and I think his competitors have pulled him back into it in order for him to continue to win, but I think his main target has always been Obama, the fact that we're in an economic upheaval and that we need to completely turn our nation around; not only in terms of our economics, but in terms of returning to the fundamentals that have made us great."
Not everyone supported Romney though. Outside the convention center Occupy Tampa protester Tim Osmar held a mocking Romney sign and called him a fascist.
"I think he's a dirt bag. I think he made his fortune largely over the gutting and destruction of American corporations. And then he's going to turn around and say, 'the economy's in the pits so elect me and I'll fix it'. The corporation that he set up – Bain Capital – the business model was buy corporations, fix corporations, profit. And instead, he bought corporations, destroyed them, gutted them alive, sent the jobs overseas and profited."
Romney won with 46 percent of the vote. Gingrich received 32%, while Rick Santorum and Ron Paul together only brought in about 20% of the vote. According to the Florida Department of State website, Republican primary voter turnout was down from 2008 when 1.95 million voters cast a ballot. This year, only 1.67 million registered Republicans participated in the election. Romney leads the race in fundraising, having earned almost $60 million in 2011. He's got about $20 million in the bank which will give him a head start on his national campaign against President Obama.

"Zone Alarm my first choice for 10 years."
Version: ZoneAlarm Free Antivirus+Firewall 10.2.047
Easy to use & understand, the basic controls have not changed in the 10 years I have used Zone Alarm.
Fully reliable & trusted.
Should have been available in this format years ago.
I haven't experienced any virus, trojan or other problems since using Zone Alarm products.
I had previously tried most of the well known competitors products to find they are not as reliable & have caused systems to be very slow as they seemed to take over the priority of use.
Thank you Zone Alarm for another superb improvement to an already reliable product!!
"Firewall has always been awesome. Antivirus though?"
Version: ZoneAlarm Free Antivirus+Firewall 10.2.047
-Unbeatable Firewall
-Gives the user great control over the program
-Easy to install and use
-Antivirus is useless
-Somewhat hard to navigate advanced controls
-Can be difficult to manage for the computer illiterate
I love the Firewall. I recommend the ZoneAlarm Free Firewall to anyone and everyone who asks what I use to defend my own computer. I have used the Free Firewall for more than 6 years, it's amazing.
However, I'm a firm believer that software that is designed for a specific purpose is better than software designed for multiple purposes (especially when it comes to _free_ software). I'm not particularly pleased with the packaging of an Antivirus with the Free Firewall.
Either way, the Firewall still works just fine, and I have the Antivirus disabled in favor of my own Antivirus program. So that 4.5-star review? It's for the Firewall alone. I would leave the exact same rating if the Antivirus were never added to it.
"Maybe trust is everything"
Version: ZoneAlarm Free Antivirus+Firewall 10.2.047
Unbeatable protection from a name you can trust
Never found anything to complain about with this product or company.
After using ZoneAlarm's free firewall for...well, it's the only firewall I ever remember having on a computer, I decided to try the Antivirus + Firewall since the antivirus software I was using was becoming a hassle to use and my confidence in the product was waning. Installation was a breeze and integration was seamless. I've trusted ZoneAlarm Firewall for a long time and I don't think that trust is misplaced in Antivirus + Firewall. It has done exactly what it says it will do. I stay informed without being hassled and protected without being ridiculously over-cautious. I highly recommend!
"Does What it says on the tin!"
Version: ZoneAlarm Free Antivirus+Firewall 10.2.047
Have been Using this Product for a few weeks , having always used their Firewall in the past seemed to be a Natural progression. Have used some of the biggest names of Anti Virus in the past and had viruses so far with ZoneAlarm i'm still very much Virus Clean. FUlly Reccomend this product.
None that i have found

"I'm a Certified Professional, I use it & recommend it!!"
Version: ZoneAlarm Free Antivirus+Firewall 10.2.047
easy to use, keeps you safe, it's FREE,
Besides the rare software clash that is easily fixed, I can't think of any cons! And if an occasional pop-up from them bothers you, go use something else!
You'll sit through 30 minutes of commercials while watching your favorite TV program, but you won't take 1/2 a second to click the x in the upper right corner? And you complain about it?? That's not a con, that being irrational.
I've been using Zone Alarm Free Firewall for as long as I can remember. It has consistently been the best firewall I've used. Better than Norton or McAfee, and I've pretty much used them all. And now that it offers free antivirus protection too, it is that much better and still top of my list. Now, I must say, I do use other antivirus protection and system optimization tools along with ZoneAlarm, but ZoneAlarm will always be my #1 firewall protection. I AM NOT A ZONEALARM EMPLOYEE!! I have my own website at www.zeedtech.com where I have a link for my clients to go and download ZoneAlarm.

"This AV Sucks & So Does It's Employees."
Version: ZoneAlarm Free Antivirus+Firewall 10.2.047
Free - if you don't count the cost to repair your computer after ZA has let it be wrecked!
Cannot protect your machine - look at the results from all the reviews on YouTube - about 90% of them show malware getting through this weak AV and either taking over the computer or rendering it un-useable.
All the reviews on this thread are from ZoneAlarm employees. CNET - why don't you wipe all the bogus comments off here and start a clean, honest comment board for ZA???These people are crooks, too.
Updated on Jun 9, 2012
Updated on Jun 11, 2012Just love all you stupid people going by "FEELINGS" when judging an antivirus. Ha!
Updated on Jun 11, 2012Do a scan with Hitman Pro & DrWeb and see if it got them all.

I had been watching this setup closely for about a week based off the Euro (ECMWF) model, as it showed a decent trough ejecting into the northern plains with a decent surface low for late July. I had been longing for a chase ever since 6/20, but the synoptic pattern has really hampered things down. With a large high pressure system dominating the central U.S. and temps surging into the 100's, the only play for decent storms was farther north into the Dakota's where the jet stream was at. Any disturbance or shortwave through that area (along with a few other ingredients) would surely kick off storms - this was what I was waiting for.

This chase was a quick one, and my first chase of the 2011 season. It was Friday, and I had Cloud Physics in the morning at 9AM. I went to the class, and as soon as it got out at 10AM, I headed straight down to Battle Creek, MI. From there, I switched some of my gear into the new chase vehicle (more details later once it gets finished), and my Dad and I took off to my target city of St. Louis. I wasn't sure if we would be able to make it on time before the storms rolled through, but we managed to make it just on time.
Bombogenesis & 2010 StatisticsSubmitted by L.B. on Tue, 10/26/2010 - 22:54
The lowest inland (non-tropical) barometric pressure in the United States was recorded today in Big Fork, MN at 2213Z. The recorded pressure was 28.20" or 954.96mb! This potent system laid down a serial derecho that stretched from MI all the way to AL. Along the way, the SPC issued numerous Tornado watches including one PDS Tornado watch due to the incredible amount of shear in the atmosphere. 0-1km helicity values pegged around 900 m^2/s^2 and while not much CAPE was present, the wind shear was enough to produce many small spin-ups embedded in the line. Further south into AL, discrete cells formed out ahead of the line increasing the tornado threat across Dixie Alley as they played with the ample amounts of helicity. The SPC also had an area outlined as a High risk, which is the first high risk since May 19, 2010. Lower Michigan was also included in the High risk for a little while, which makes it the first High risk for Lower Michigan in 9 years, and the first High risk in MI in 3 years. This event was also rare in the fact that it was only the third time in history that the SPC has issued a High risk in the month of October. While I'm on the statistics train, I might as well throw in a few more interesting statistics so far from the 2010 season.
UPDATE: A FEW OF THE RECORDS HAVE BEEN RECALCULATED TO ADJUST FOR TRUE MEAN SEA LEVEL PRESSURE, AND STANDS AT 955.2MB. SEE MORE HERE: Official NWS statement on the pressure record

This would be my final "long range" chase of the season before I headed off to CMU. Things were looking really good for Thursday in north-eastern South Dakota, and into west-central MN. Friday had looked alright, but at the time I was focused on Thursday to be the day. We headed out on Wednesday evening, and made it to our usual spot: the 90/94 split in Wisconsin. We drove all morning and early afternoon to our general target area which was the NSD/MN triangle area.
The atmosphere looked primed, as CAPE values climbed with excellent shear and helicity in place. A few things were left to be desired including a rather strong 700mb cap, and weak low level lapse rates.

July 22nd was kind of a surprise day here in Michigan. I wasn't expecting much this day, because the main action looked to be just across the lake in extreme northern Illinois, and southern Wisconsin. For some reason or another, I stayed up pretty late, and woke up early to assess the weather situation. Not seeing any great potential for us, I ate some breakfast, and did a few things including getting my car ready for the next day. Eventually I went inside, and took a nap. Sometime around 4 o'clock or so, my weather radio went off. Having my radio set to only go off for tornado warnings, I realized our County was indeed in a tornado warning.

Outcome: Hail (1/8"), Shelf Cloud, Lowering/Downdraft Feature
Chase Pics: Unavailable
This setup did not look spectacular; then again, how often are Michigan setups amazing? Michigan has lately had problems with anvil blow-off, or cloud cover inhibiting surface heating which results in less instability in the atmosphere. We have also had issues with veered flow. Most setups are usually linear with surface winds from the southwest. To create more directional shear, or turning in the atmosphere, it is helpful to have southeast winds-sometimes referred to as backed winds.
Fortunately for us, the models were indicating some backed winds over towards the lakeshore area and northeast of the surface low. Mesoanalysis showed a nice theta-e axis from St. Joseph to Grand Rapids. While the most CAPE was down south, the better helicity, and moisture convergence was further north near the warm front.

Not much to say here. This was your average Michigan chase-well maybe a bit better. We headed out in the afternoon, and drove over by Oshtemo. We sat there for a bit, put some rain-x on the windshield, and ate a quick supper at Culver's. The roasted chicken sandwiches are amazing! Anyways, by that time a few cells started firing over the lake, and I wanted to sit tight a little longer to see if they would mature.
As the cells came on shore, they were still just your basic cells, and nothing that stood out as "interesting" or supercellular. At that time I noticed a nice storm forming north of Hastings. We raced back on I-94 towards Battle Creek, and then headed north on I-69. Near Lansing we could begin to see the base, as well as a decent wall cloud. The wall cloud reformed several times, sometimes more prominent than others.

Delaware Higher Education Office As part of the Delaware Department of Education, the Delaware Higher Education Office (DHEO) works to ensure that postsecondary education is accessible and affordable for Delaware residents by providing information and financial assistance to students and their families. We administer 23 state-sponsored financial aid programs, which include grants, scholarships, regional contracts, and professional incentive programs. Last year, 2,114 Delaware residents were awarded $4,252,800 through these programs. As a member of the Southern Regional Education board, Delaware is able to provide additional tuition savings for its residents through the Academic Common Market (ACM), a tuition-savings agreement among 15 southern states. ACM students attending college last year saved an average of $12,800 in tuition costs, totaling more than $1,340,000 in savings for the year. Since joining SREB in 1998, Delaware families have saved over $11,600,000 through the ACM program. To increase educational opportunities for Delawareans, DHEO works with state officials to develop new financial assistance programs. Twenty programs have been introduced since 1997: • Academic Common Market • Critical Need Scholarship • Delaware College Investment Plan • Delaware Institute for Dental Education & Research (DIDER) / Temple University Partnership • Delaware SEED Scholarship Program • Delaware State Loan Repayment Plan for Health Professionals • Delaware Teacher Corps • Democracy Project D.C.

F O L L O W I N G THE DEATH of Osama Bin Laden, many American young people across the country gathered on street comers and in front of the White House, some celebrating with chants of "U-S-A" and others singing the national anthem. Press coverage of the youthñil celebrators, many of them part of Generation Y or the Millennial Generation, renamed these young people the "9/11 Generation."' Newspaper accounts following Bin Laden's demise discuss him as "the common evil" that the Millennial Generation faced in much the same way as their grandparents had faced Hitler.2 One student remarks that Bin Laden's death is "the defining moment" of his generation.^ Nine-eleven, it appears, is a memorable moment for this generation. Over nine years earlier, on September 11, 2001,1 was also concemed about how young people would come to understand what came to be called "9/11." After spending the moming of September 11, 2001 watching television as the Twin Towers in New York collapsed, I arrived on campus to teach my lower-division history class, and was immediately informed that classes were cancelled for the day because of the "evil attacks." Since I regularly tell my students that "evil" is not a useful analytic term for the writing and understanding of history, I devised a questionnaire for my History 101 students to assess their understanding of the event."

Plenty of people who tend to build a professional as Major Goods Automotive drivers do not know what you should expect all through LGV coaching. Generally the LGV qualification learning category may last anywhere from around anyone to some days or weeks which is dependent on one's previous expertise like a motorist, the education service, and the level of LGV permit the driver would like to achieve. The LGV study courses will handle driving skills, typical technicians, and packing and acquiring tons. LGV instructors will exhaustively present and tell the LGV candidate a range of knowledge about the automobile in which the ambitious person might be driving. Countless tutorials course instructors operate using the "indicate me" approach to coaching, message the LGV candidate must actually demonstrate how and make clear the place with a car precisely what the teacher is requesting about.
Thanksgiving and The Pumpkin Pie By Mikki Sadil Thanksgiving! Doesn't just the name of the day make your mouth water when you think of all the good food Mom is going to be cooking? There's turkey and dressing, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes and gravy, some good veggies, and best of all…Pumpkin Pie for dessert! YUM! You've probably always had pumpkin pie on Thanksgiving, and maybe Christmas, too, but where did pumpkin come from? No, not in the local market! Pumpkins have an interesting history, and you can trace them back about 9,000 years to different places in Central America. The name 'pumpkin' originated from a very old Greek word, 'pepon', and over centuries was finally changed into 'pumpkin' by the early American colonists. Native Americans used pumpkins in several different ways: when they cleaned the seeds out, they used them for medicine. They would boil them and make a kind of tea that they drank for different sicknesses. They also used them to rub on a snakebite, because they believed the seeds would draw the snake venom (poison) out of the wound. Many years later, the American colonists thought pumpkin seeds would remove freckles if they rubbed them over their faces. Another way Native Americans used the pumpkins was to slice them into long strips, dry them, and then weave them into mats for them to sleep on. Sometimes they even wove them into the long grasses that some tribes used to build their wigwams. When there were pumpkins left over after all the work was done, the Indians cut them into long strips, roasted them over an open fire, and ate them. This was a real treat. The first 'pumpkin pie' occurred when the early colonists sliced the top off, cleaned out all the seeds, and filled the inside with milk, spices, and honey, and then baked it in hot ashes. The pumpkin pie changed over many generations, with a lot of different ingredients added to it, until today when it is that delicious Pumpkin Pie your mom bakes as the special dessert for Thanksgiving dinner.

Evan Hardeman, 25, has been arrested in connection with a robbery at a North side business.
San Antonio police identified him after he got into a dispute with his girlfriend almost a month later, according to an arrest warrant affidavit.
Police responded to the disturbance at Hardeman's apartment in the 6200 block of Blanco Road on Dec. 8.
While they were there, they noticed some similarities between him and the description of a man who had robbed a nearby cleaning supply business on Nov. 17, the affidavit stated.
Police said in the description supplied by the store employee, the robber was said to have a tattoo of a star on his neck.
Hardeman has a similar tattoo in that same area of his body, the affidavit stated.
In addition, witnesses reported that the robber had run into an apartment complex nearby.
The affidavit stated that is the same complex where Hardeman lives. Hardeman was arrested Tuesday on a charge of robbery.

Praught Earns All-Academic Award
Feb. 9, 2012
NEW ORLEANS - Just days after earning Missouri Valley Conference Female Track Athlete of the Week, Illinois State senior Aisha Praught was named to the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) All-Academic team for 2011, as announced by the organization Thursday afternoon.
Praught is one of 104 women's cross country student-athletes from 67 different institutions across the nation receiving this award. To qualify for the USTFCCCA All-Academic Team, each student-athlete must have compiled a cumulative grade point average of 3.25 and have either earned USTFCCCA All-America status or finished in the NCAA region's top 15 (or top 10 percent) in 2011.
Praught earned this award by finishing 13th at the NCAA Division I Midwest Cross Country Regional Championships this past fall. This was the best finish by a Redbird at the regional meet since Stacia Beste qualified for the national meet in 2001. Praught is just one of two Valley student-athletes honored with this award, the other being Aliphine Tuliamuk of Wichita State.
Head cross country coach Jeff Bovee knows how hard Praught has worked to get to this point in her career.
"This is the first time since I have been here that a member of our women's team has won this award," said Bovee. "It is hard for someone to perform at such a high level and maintain the same high level of performance in the classroom. Aisha has done a tremendous job balancing both aspects of being a student-athlete. This is a true honor for her."
Praught continues her season as part of the Redbird track & field team this weekend at the Big Meet on the campus of Grand Valley State in Allendale, Mich. The meet starts Friday with the multi-event invite at 10:50 a.m. EST.

By Tibor Shanto - firstname.lastname@example.com
Given today's buying climate, chances are your buyer is talking to a range of potential providers, usually after having carried out some "independent" research. I say "independent" because one is susceptible to the echo chamber group think risk presented in an information overload, knowledge under-load world. For many companies, this is only made worse by the "be found" silliness being peddled by many pundits their sales people are being enticed by. In the past I have written about the power of "Land Mine Questions", but if you are looking to win more sales this year, you need to go further.
One way to ensure that you are covering all angels to help your buyer make the right choice – you, is to be able to not only view the world through the buyer's eyes, but also through the eyes of your competitors. While many sales people are familiar with their competitor's product, strengths and Achilles Heel, great sales people go further to the point where they could sell the competitor's product, better than the competitor rep can.
I was talking to an IT rep last week who is big on visualizing. He, like many I know, use a practice I use and recommend, which to visualize a sales meeting the day before, go through how you will open, If you know the people, visualize them sitting in the board room. Go through all the questions they may have, and think about how you may answer; picture yourself asking what you want to know, and go through the various answers they may give. Do the same for objections, what will they be, hear how you would answer them; all this allows you to not hear most things the first time during the actual meeting.
I suggested to him that he can take things one step further, by running through a meeting as though he was selling his competitor's product, how would it be different, where would he feel exposed vs. the other vendor, what are strengths he can exploit. He asked if we could practice that, which we did the next day, his task overnight was to get into the head of is competitor. He jumped on the phone, and called their call centre, he asked them all the questions he hated, to see how they would respond. He then went on to ask questions around where he felt his product was a clear leader, to see how they managed things, and did so around a number of areas.
When we meet the next day, he not only felt that he was in a better position to accentuate his offering's strength, but felt that he was equipped well enough to sell the other product, which helped him set a flow that would continue to differentiate and elevate his product over the other. As we rehearsed, we also made sure that he aligned the talk track to the buyer's objectives, giving him the further ability to ensure that the buyer would see his product in a better light given their own objectives, more so than just on the basis of the products.
We'll know next week how well he did. He felt his meeting went well, and if he does close the deal, it will put him a head of goal for the quarter, now, and ahead of the competition for some time to come.

Popular Croatian Marin Cilic got his Wimbledon 2013 challenge off to an assured start with a comprehensive 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 victory over the one-time world No.8 Marcos Baghdatis.
On paper this meeting was charismatic but the Cypriot, now ranked 40, stretched his unhappy losing streak to seven matches as he succumbed to the No.10 seed. Watched on No.2 Court by his countryman, the 2001 champion Goran Ivanisevic, Cilic consistently served and returned better than his opponent, and delivered far more winners with a count of 41.
Actually these two players have a shared love of things Croatian – for Cilic it is the nation of his birth, while Baghdatis married the Croatian former world No.17 Karolina Sprem in a fairytale castle in her home country just a week after the end of last year's Wimbledon. She gave birth to their first daughter Zahara last October.
On Court No.2 today it was of course all strictly business. Baghdatis had won just one of their four previous encounters, and with that six-match losing streak an albatross around his neck, it would have been a feat of hope over expectation to come into this match seriously considering himself likely to emerge the victor.
He lost both his grass court warm-up matches, in the first rounds of Halle and 's-Hertogenbosch. By contrast Cilic arrived in SW19 on the back of a confidence-boosting appearance in the final at Queen's, where he was beaten by Andy Murray.
In fact the Scot is another recurring motif in both their lives. Baghdatis lost to him here in the third round last year, after which Cilic underwent the same experience one round later. Cilic's career best Slam performance was reaching the Australian semi-final three years ago, where he also lost to Murray. Moreover, it is possible that they could meet during Wimbledon 2013 in the quarter-finals, although Cilic will have to exceed his seeding to do that.
Judging by his form in this first round match, that is possible.
He eased himself into The Championships with his serve touching 224mph and just the one break in each set, getting the feel of the place again - although frankly the feel on Court No.2 was distinctly chilly, with more than one spectator literally wrapped in blankets.
Cilic, seeded 10 here but ranked 12, is edging towards his career high ranking of nine achieved three-and-a-half years ago. He is clearly looking for some new defining boost to get him there, as he despatched with the services of his longtime coach Bob Brett after losing in the third round at Roland Garros last month to Victor Troicki.
Perhaps that in part explained his sometime mentor Ivanisevic's presence at courtside – guiding eyes in the absence of a coach.

Thank you for all your messages throughout, you've been the glue holding us together as the edges frayed amid the madness.

In the mid-80, out of a sea of hair-metal and synth-pop came a bust of gritty blues-rock. The first big star was Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble, and soon to follow was Robert Cray. Born out of a similar tradition, Cray's approach took a much more modern pop orientation compared to Vaughan playing blues standards.
Through the mid- and late 80′s his releases had tremendous crossover appeal, with 'Smoking Gun' landing at #2 on the rock and #22 on the pop charts. And since the launch of the Blues charts in the mid-90s his releases have constantly hit the top 10, as he has held his audience with a continuous commitment to providing quality releases and a dedication to songwriting and guitar playing skills.
His newest album 'Nothin But Love' will be released on August 28th, and to get everyone ready he is streaming 'Won't Be Coming Home' for free! Head over to Robert Cray's official site for more information on the new release, and to check out his 'Won't Be Coming Home'. You can also stream it below:

Haiti: What can you and your classes do right now to help
As I'm sure you'll all aware, yesterday (1/12/10), a massive earthquake struck Haiti, devastating its capital.
Hundreds of thousands are feared dead and The Red Cross reports that over 3 million people have been affected.
So..I'm wondering if any of you and your classes are planning to do anything to help.
Here are some resources I've quickly compiled:
:: New York Times created a Twitter list, where you can follow the latest updates in real-time.
:: You can also follow a live stream of tweets about Haiti by searching "help haiti" on Twitter.
:: This seems to be the most popular way people are donating: Text "HAITI" to 90999 to donate $10 to the Red Cross (It automatically gets added to your phone bill)
:: Here's Six ways you can help in Haiti.
:: Lastly, here's another article that lists the many ways you can help Haiti earthquake victims.
Please share what you plan on doing. Fundraisers, having your class follow the Twitter feeds, whatever you're doing -- please share!
