By Anthony "The PostmOn" Postman
Reggae is Jamaica's largest cultural export, and since its humble beginnings from the ghettos of Kingston, reggae has grown to become a worldwide cultural and musical expression. There are reggae bands from every habitable continent of the world, and as with music from the Jamaican source, reggae is a vehicle to teach, uplift, and inspire. The music that came from the ghettos has been the most powerful voice of the downpressed, music that carries the cry from Trenchtown (the Kingston neighborhood so named for the open sewer trench) to the heavens—if you want to hear the heartbeat of The People, listen to Reggae music! Since the early days in Jamaica, and through to the present day worldwide, Reggae is filled with Social commentary, reflections on life (often by the poor and those marginalized by society), musings on systemic corruption- living in Babylon, a call to love, raising African consciousness, repatriation, teaching self-reliance, and of course—rejoicing the blessings of life, and giving praises and exaltations to Jah Rastafari...
Jamaica's booming tourist industry is fueled largely by the world's love and fascination for Reggae Music and Jamaican culture. Tourists come to enjoy Jamaica's many festivals, including Sunsplash (which has also toured multiple times outside of Jamaica), Sumfest, Rebel Salute, Sting, White River Reggae Bash, among others. Not only has reggae become Jamaica's largest cultural export, but the large Jamaican and Caribbean communities in the United Kingdom (London and Birmingham particularly) have made the UK the second-capitol for reggae. Germany, France, Italy, many parts of the US—especially the coasts, plus Hawaii...Brazil, Argentina...all of these nations are skankin' and swayin' to the beats of their own native reggae bands. Most notably throughout the past 5-7 years, the U.S. Virgin Islands have been producing a new wave of strictly conscious roots reggae music.
Bob Marley, The King Of Reggae
If there is any singular icon representing reggae music, it is Bob Marley. Many reggae fans are indoctrinated into the world of reggae by way of the music from "The King Of Reggae," Bob Marley. Marley's music and image can be found in all of the corners of the world, from college dorm rooms in the Midwest, to secluded beach cafes in Thailand, on the flags of freedom fighters in Africa, to stickers on the sides of festival drums in Brazil. It is said that his image is the most recognized of any celebrity or star throughout the entire world. His music strikes a chord with people of all races, colors, and creeds: "Get Up, Stand Up," is a call to freedom fighters everywhere, just as "One Love" is a simple and unabashed call for unity amongst all people. "Waiting In Vain" is one of the best lovers' tracks in the whole cannon of love songs, reggae or otherwise. Time Magazine notes the EXODUS album as The Best Music Album of the 20th century.
Bob Marley started his singing career as one of the original Wailing Wailers, along side Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer. They came up, as did so many of the Jamaican greats (such as Burning Spear, Joseph Hill of Culture, The Abyssinians, The Skatalites, Ken Boothe, John Holt, Alton Ellis, to name a few) under the wing of Coxsone Dodd and Studio One. The Wailing Wailers' early tracks were ska numbers, soon followed by the slightly slower rock steady, and finally The Wailers helped to originate what we now know as reggae—slower tempos, heavy bass, the rich syrupy musical feel, and most notably a spiritual emphasis centered in Rastafarian consciousness. Bob Marley still remains today arguably the biggest proponent for introducing Rastafari consciousness to the masses worldwide. Bob Marley actively incorporated elements of blues, rock, funk, and R&B into his music, in hopes of crossing over and reaching American, European, African, and ultimately worldwide audiences. Although Jimmy Cliff scored big hits in the United Kingdom before Marley, Bob was the first "Third-World" Superstar to reach the world stage.
Bob Marley is still considered the King Of Reggae, even more than twenty years after his passing. The music and message of Bob Marley continue to influence new generations of rock, blues, hip hop, and of course, reggae and dancehall musicians, as well as people from all walks of life.
Types of Reggae
Ska The original sound of reggae (pre-reggae), played in Jamaica in the early 1960's, originated largely by the island's resort and studio players who came together to form The Skatalites. The early hits from The Wailing Wailers, such as "One Cup Of Coffee," "Simmer Down," and the original "One Love" are all great examples of ska featuring vocals. (A large part of original Jamaican ska was instrumental—check anything from The Skatalites! The Skatalites were the instrumental backing band for some of the early Wailers' tracks.) Ska relies heavily on the saxophone, trumpet, and trombone to carry the melodies, and has a prominent steady upbeat carrying the music forward.
Rocksteady Rocksteady is similar to ska, yet with a slight slowing of the tempos: not quite as fast beat per-beat as ska. While the horn sections could still be heard in some of the rocksteady era, more importance is placed on the piano and guitar in both the rhythm section, as well as the melodic role. Rocksteady begins to slow the baselines down, and thickens the feel—a direct precursor to reggae. Alton Ellis (The King of rocksteady: "Girl I've Got A Date" a seminal rocksteady track, that thanks to U-Roy's "Wake The Town," would also form the basis for the dawn of the Deejay era), Bob Andy, Ken Boothe, Toots & The Maytals, The original Wailers are all performers of rocksteady
Reggae Reggae, like ska and rocksteady, reggae emphasizes an off-beat, syncopated guitar, piano, or sometimes horn chop (known as the 'skank' rhythm), only in reggae the tempo is slower, the skank is heavier than in ska and rocksteady, the bass even heavier and thicker. Reggae also has a greater predominance of lyrics dealing with spiritual calling, faith, poverty, systematic down-pression, Babylon tribulations, ganja, and—back to that spiritual calling: Rastafari! Much of Reggae is nothing short of a devotional form of music celebrating the teachings, life and works of His Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie I, praises to The King Of Kings, chants and exaltations to The Conquering Lion of The Tribe Of Judah, "sighted" or "seen" by Rasta to be "Christ in his Kingly Character." (Rasta will differentiate 'belief' in Selassie vs. 'knowledge' of The King, saying that in belief there can still be doubt, while in knowledge there is only certainty.) Reggae in and of itself is still nowadays a general and broad description of style, wide-ranging, deep and wide in its breadth, and includes several sub-genres:
Roots Reggae/ Foundation/ Roots & Culture Foundation is becoming the word nowadays for Roots Reggae, as it really encapsulates the sound and feel of the original form of Reggae. There is The Sound and The Message in Foundation. Roots Reggae/Foundation is exemplified by singers and groups such as: Burning Spear, Culture, The Abyssinians, The Mighty Diamonds, Gregory Isaacs, Dennis Brown, The Gladiators, The Heptones, and of course Bob Marley & The Wailers, to name a few. While many of the performers listed gave us timeless love songs, the Roots emphasis tends more towards spiritual messages: Rastafari praises, exaltations of Hailie Selassie I; self empowerment and reliance for black people; uplifting and uprising from slums and poor social conditions; breaking down systemic slavery, confusion, and corruption; peace among all peoples, non-violence, African consciousness, clean living, are all recurring themes within Foundation Roots Reggae. Many of the Foundation artists were vocal trios, a staple in the reggae form, exemplifying through harmony a way of life.
Lovers' Rock The love songs have been there since the beginning, since ska and rocksteady, through Foundation to the present time. Roots/Foundation artists considered to be kings of the lovers' genre are none other than Dennis Brown and Gregory Isaacs, as well as Freddie McGregor and Beres Hammond. Lovers' Rock woos the listener with sweet singing and beautiful melodies. Maxi Priest, Sanchez, and Bitty McClean are some of the better-known modern Lovers' singers.
Dub Dub is one of the wild sides of reggae—originally the B-sides, to be sure. Dub music started as instrumental versions ("version") on the B-sides of popular 45rpm 7" singles. Early on, the sides were versions with the vocals dropped out, and not much if any other alteration. Dub quickly gave way to more experimentation as early pioneers King Tubby, Lee "Scratch" Perry began to play more with the levels in the mixes, dropping in and out the parts, and most importantly incorporating increasing amounts of reverb, delay, panning, and phasing—the engineer and mixer become the musical artist with clever deconstruction and re-construction of the original tracks—Dub would give rise to the Deejay styles (which would move into Dancehall/ Ragga), hip-hop, electro-dance styles, re-mix, and much more in the way of experimental and electronic forms of music. King Tubby, Scientist, Lee "Scratch" Perry, Linval Thompson, Gussie Clark are some of the classic dubbers, while Mad Professor, Bill Laswell, Adrian Sherwood, Dub Syndicate, and Twilight Circus Dub Sound System (among others) are some of the artists bringing dub into the 21st Century.
Deejays The Deejays are the original rappers! These intrepid singers would get up and "toast" or chat and chant over dub-plates or instrumental versions of popular reggae riddims, usually played at sound-system dances. Not to be confused with radio host DJ's (selectors), the Deejays, in the likes of U-Roy, Big Youth, Dennis Alcapone, and Lone Ranger, were pioneering a new vocal art form and style (styles!) as they performed. Most of their work was done over the B-side "versions" of 45's being spun in the popular street dances and dancehalls in Jamaica starting in the early 70's, and continuing through the 80's to the present day. The original Deejays, from the U-Roy's 1970 hit, "Wake The Town" precede hip-hop by about 10 years—it was the Deejays that began the art of mixing vocals over turntable tracks. While much of the Deejay work may still convey some of the messages from the Roots/Foundation sensibility, the Deejays tend to mix in more fun, playful lyrical elements, vocalizations, "bims, bings, brapps, and ripbits!" The songs indeed bring some of the tongue-and-cheek humorous traditions from calypso into the mix, reflections on the times through clever and wry lyrics; and of course—the self-aggrandizing reminder of how great the performer is on the soundsystem mic. The Deejays have a gift for delivering social commentary with a lick of fun too, a smile with your food for thought.
Dancehall Some of the most distinguishing features of Dancehall versus Deejays include faster tempos, and a stripped-down approach to the riddims, including the introduction and growing predominance (from the early 80's) of digital sounds and instrumentation. The Dancehall vocal style is still a Deejay or Singjay style, with a blending of chanting, chatting, or toasting infused with singing. Yellowman is an early king of Dancehall. Also bringing in the new era are performers such as Sugar Minott, Wayne Smith (with "Sleng Teng" heralding the digital age), Tenor Saw, Eek-A-Mouse, Supercat, Ninjaman, and Charlie Chaplin to name a few.
Dancehall is an interesting term for the genre, since so much of the development of classic reggae and deejay style took place IN the dancehalls and street dances. The dancehall is where The People heard, moved, grooved, listened to, and loved whatever fresh was coming out of the Kingston studios, from the ska days on forward. Perhaps this is where the term Dancehall surfaces as a genre, in that it is often the common experiences of life that are reflected in the subject matter of Dancehall. By the early '80's, the Dancehall style is getting harder and more raw, reflecting the raw and harder economic and social times in Jamaica. Much of the subject matter strays away from the spiritual messages of Roots Reggae, focusing instead on gun and gangster themes, sexually explicit lyrics, homophobia, and hard-knocks living. Towards the early and mid '90's, the rise of "conscious" lyrics, Rastafari consciousness, spiritual themes, and uplifting messages make a noticeable return through the works of artists such as Garnett Silk, Anthony B, Capleton, Sizzla, and Buju Banton, to name a few, who have in turn opened the doors for a new generation of "conscious" performers.
Today, many of the styles and sub-genres of Reggae converge to blur the lines, defying neat categorization and labeling. At its heart and root, Reggae music is still "Rebel Music," not always easy to pigeon-hole. Artists and producers forge ahead, incorporating elements from Salsa music, flamenco, R&B, hip-hop, rock, electronic dance, and beyond, into the still-growing form that we call reggae. Dancehall deejays may voice over the deepest dub beats, or singers may make new melodies over classic riddims. Most notable on the world stage today are artists who uplift our consciousness and inspire with cultural and spiritual messages, and those who can deliver "reality lyrics" in a clean, edifying way. Luciano, Mikey General, Warrior King, Junior Kelly, The Marley Brothers (Damian "Jr. Gong," Stephen, Ziggy, Julian, and Ky-Mani), Richie Spice, Everton Blender, Midnite, Bambu Station, Sister Carol, Queen Omega are just some of the artists who come to mind, but—the list goes on! Originators such as Toots & The Maytals, John Holt, Ken Booth, Bunny Wailer, The Abyssinians, The Wailers Band, Steel Pulse, and The Mighty Diamonds still perform (and some still record) to this day. Reggae music is reaching maturity as an art form, even as it still evolves. Reggae's appeal is worldwide, and reggae is here to stay.
Rasta Culture
The Rasta ideal is centered in simplicity and a natural way of living; Self-reliance in favor of materialism; Peace, not war—respect for all living beings; Opposition to the Babylon system: slavery, corruption, downpression, wickedness, all institutionalized within political, governmental, religious, colonialist systems. The original Rastafarians were rooted in Pan-African consciousness as espoused by Marcus Garvey, Leonard P. Howell, and others. The dignity of black peoples, repatriation to Africa, and the divinity of Haile Selassie I, are all essential cornerstones upon which the Rastafari consciousness is founded.
Many of the ideals, precepts, and codes of living within the Rastafari culture are derived from the Bible, most specifically The Nazarite Vows. The Nazarite Vows include dietary codes, as well as the doctrine of not letting the razor (or scissors) touch one's head and hair. Also contained within the vows is the instruction to avoid corpses and graves. The Nazarite has separated him/herself wholly unto Jah, consecrated to Jah through the "clearly uttered" vows, to "be Holy" in the eyes of Jah. (Paraphrased from Numbers 6:2-8.)
Ital Diet and Living
"And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat." (Genesis 1:29).
"Ital" refers to diet, but also may infer a wider ideal of purity, all again stemming from that which is put into the body, or Jah's temple, the "Structure." An Ital diet includes natural vegetarian or vegan foods (avoidance of all animal and dairy products—although some Rastas do eat fish), prepared without salt, additives and preservatives, and no processed flour or sugar. Similar to a kosher diet, pork and shellfish are foods that are prohibited in the Ital diet. Strict avoidance of alcohol, fermented drinks and foods, as well as grapes and other foods from vines are also practiced. Also shunned is processed tobacco, but welcomed is Sensimilla, for both eating and smoking. Cannabis being an unadulterated herb (some bearing seed), is welcomed as a God-given gift, a sacrament unto The Most High Jah. Pure, organic foods, unrefined foods are central to the Ital diet, and are said to be closest to the essential Life Force, especially as no killing or blood is involved in Ital "livity" (Rasta living). As ordained in Genesis 1:29, the Ital diet is a natural path reaping only that which grows naturally upon the Earth.
"Not every dread is a Rasta and not every Rasta is a dread..." (common Rasta saying/ wisdom)
Adherents to the Rastafarian faith let their hairs grow together, to "dread," or "locks up." Dreadlocks symbolize a Rasta's covenant with The Creator, Jah, and natural ways of life and living. Although there are many cultures through time that have practiced dreading the hair, Rastas sight the Bible for the inspiration to let the hair form dreads. Many Rastas take The Nazarene vows (Numbers 6:5) which include the doctrine: "there shall no razor come upon his head. Until the days be fulfilled in that which he separated himself unto Jah, he shall be holy, and let the lock of the hair of his head grow long." Also from Leviticus 21:5: "They shall not make baldness upon their head, neither shall they shave off the corner of their beard, nor make any cuttings in the flesh."
Rastas may make the distinction between a "dread" (a person merely sporting dreadlocks as a style) and a "Rasta" (one who follows a clean, Ital way of life, and praises Hailie Selassie).
The language of Rastas is heard throughout reggae music, the Caribbean, and the world at large. Jamaican patois is a creole form, amalgamating English and African dialects, as well as Hindi, Spanish, and Portuguese. Many Jamaicans speak some degree of patois, depending on the formality of a given situation—seen in life as in music, patois is used to varying degrees within reggae.
The Rastafarian Patois tends to borrow and change words from English, uplifting some of the sounds found therein. "I" replaces me, and "I and I" for you. Rastafarian scholar E. E. Cashmore writes: "I and I" is an expression to totalize the concept of oneness, the oneness of two persons. So God is within all of us and we're one people in fact. I and I means that God is in all men. The bond of Ras Tafari is the bond of God, of man. But man itself needs a head and the head of man is His Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie I (always pronounced as the letter "I," never as the number one) of Ethiopia."
Rastas will "livicate" instead of "dedicate," taking "dead" out of the equation.
"Oppression" becomes "downpression," as the "Up" sound is replaced by "down" in regards to physical, spiritual and/ or mental burden.
"Understanding" becomes "overstanding" as another term for elevating our conscious perspective. "Conscious" may become "I-scious" to avoid any "con" in the word— "I-scious" also becomes "Ishence" in reference to the Holy Herb ganja, which provides meditation, sacrament, and lifts the mind...
"Enjoy" becomes "full-joy," as "En" takes on the sound of "end, or end-joy." "Appreci-love" replaces "appreciate," negating the sound of "hate" in "appreciate."

How to cook for a crowd without losing your cool.
Cooking for a lot of people can be overwhelming. However, if you shop smart and keep your pantry stocked with easy-to-store, long-shelf-life items like NESTLÉ® CARNATION® Evaporated Milk, chicken broth, and dried pasta, you'll always be able to whip something up when family and friends stage an impromptu gathering at your place.
Even with big holiday meals, where you have plenty of advance notice, cooking for a mob requires grace under pressure. Here's a few proven tips to make your guests wonder how you do it all without breaking a sweat.
1Choose appropriate meals for your guests.You may be interested in trying some exotic new dish, but your guests may not be as adventurous. Stick with food you're absolutely sure your guests will enjoy.
2Keep it simple.A large gathering is not the time to attempt your first soufflé. You want fool-proof dishes, the kind you can execute flawlessly every time.
3Make it a buffet.
You have enough to do cooking for a big crew without messing with a dozen place settings. Let people serve themselves.
4Focus on the main courses.You can always use ready-made foods, like baked beans, and instant mashed potatoes, for the side dishes. Not everything has to be made from scratch.
5Many hands make light work.You've fed an army. Now march them into the kitchen and hand them some dish soap. You cook; they clean.
Little kids can be fussy. It's good to have some options on hand in your kitchen: frozen chicken nuggets, peanut butter and jelly, muffin pizza fixin's, and so on.

If I could get on my soap box, I would shout "Stop the excessive pruning!" Please stop topping the trees in your yard, stop murdering the crape myrtles and stop butchering the plants around your house. Despite what was done decades ago, topping trees and other plants is not a recommended horticulture practice. It's 2014 — we have science to back it up.
Topping is the drastic removal or cutting back of large branches in mature trees, small trees and shrubs. Historically, this has often been done to old pecan trees, mature crape myrtles and large shade trees. Although I cannot tell you why this practice was ever adopted, I can assume it is still done today due to fear that certain plants would become too large and unsafe. Here are some proven reasons why topping should not be done:
1. Starvation
Topping much of the crown of a tree also removes many of the food-producing leaves. Roots need the starch produced by the leaves to grow. Not enough food reserves can prevent the roots from transporting nutrients and water. The tree basically starves.
2. Decay
Large cuts as a result of topping are very slow and difficult to close. Trees do not heal, but have to seal off the area or grow around the wound. Large wounds can invite insects and diseases that encourage decay. If fungal decay was already present, such as in a hidden interior hollow area, then topping not only reveals that decay, but speeds up the process. Weakened stubs that begin to decay or die soon become a hazard and are more prone to wind and storm breakage
3. New growth
People believe they need to top their trees to control the height and spread of a tree. Actually, the opposite happens. In most cases, topping triggers a response in excess long sprouts below the cut. Trees grow back what was removed, usually fourfold, become bushier, and regain their original height. This defeats the presumed reason for pruning in the first place.
4. Weak limbs
Topping is a heading cut. Mature trees respond with dense, unattractive, upright branches (water sprouts) just below the pruning cut. Water sprout regrowth is vigorous and are weakly attached to the parent branch. As they age, their weight can cause them to break off, especially during storms.
5. Ugliness
There is nothing worse than looking at a topped and disfigured tree. Ugly branch stubs, conspicuous pruning cuts, and a broom-like branch growth replace natural beauty and form. Even with regrowth, the pruned tree never regains the grace and beauty of its species. Topping reduces the real estate value of trees by 20 percent t0 100 percent. A correctly trimmed tree increases in value at each pruning. Plants are to be planted and enjoyed for their beauty not abused.
There are indeed special situations where trees might need to be pruned or even entirely removed. Removing a dangerous limb or dead section can easily be justified. I have made such recommendations to homeowners when I felt it was necessary. But don't let excessive pruning such as topping be an excuse for poor plant selection, improper spacing and ignorance. Do your homework and ask for assistance by educated professionals, like arborists, who know about trees and can back up their recommendations with research and science. Remember, your decisions and actions can have long-term consequences.

Great Neighbor: Barbara DeShon
There are many people in our community who dedicate their lives to helping those with disabilities. One of them is Barb DeShon who uses her talents with horses to run Miracle Inc.
"It's horsemanship for the handicapped people and we deal with any kind of handicap: physical, mental, even social," explained DeShon.
Shaylee Cordova has Downs Syndrome. One of the highlights of her week is to come to this stable in the foothills of Idaho Falls to work with horses. Vanessa Cordova is thrilled there's a place like this for her daughter.
"She loves it," Cordova says. "It puts a smile on her face and she enjoys every aspect of it. It increases her core balance, it gives her exercise, it increases her confidence."
DeShon knows this is great therapy for kids like Shaylee, but she takes it a step further and focuses on getting Shaylee and others ready for a special needs horse competition held in Hailey.
"The special needs people don't have a chance to excel very often, and they can go to a competition and say, look I brought home this ribbon or this medal," said DeShon.
It's not only children that benefit. 29-year-old Jeff Frailey loves coming here. He recently won a medal.
"For showmanship, it made me feel pretty good and happy," said Frailey.
There's a special chemistry that happens between these special needs people and the horses.
"They also relate to your feelings - if I'm having a bad day the horse knows it and puts his head on my shoulder," DeShon said.
"The horses know they have someone special there and the horses adjust according to each kid - t's amazing, you have to see it," Cordova said.
This special experience for people like Shaylee and Jeff is made possible by Barb Deshon.
"It's rewarding to do this for the people as well as the animals - anything horse, I do - I'm a horse nut," said DeShon.

Was in my YouTube subs from yesterday.
All sounds are coming from just the one pedal.
Getting the organ sounds out of the guitar sounds pretty cool
I just got an EH bass micro-synth the other day... I gotta' say I really like their pedals!
Hey Sergio how's the tracking on the synth pedal?
I knew they would eventually release THE pedal for my needs. Now, I need someone to buy one, hate it, and resell it on eBay!
Thanks for the post! I hadn't logged into Youtube yet to see this.
Wow. That's pretty neat. I would love to play around with one of these. I use a low octave on a few of our songs, using a Boss OC-3 and the tracking is just sort of okay. Watching this video, the tracking he's getting out of this is pretty impressive, almost seamless. That would be enough for me to consider it, but all those other sounds too? Wow.
This sort of thing is why I have been thinking about going stereo with my rig. It would just be such a massive overhaul and cost so much $$.

Trashing historyJuly 13,2013In April 1967 Robert Kennedy and other members of a Senate subcommittee investigating poverty in America traveled to the Mississippi Delta country to have a firsthand look. They drove in a caravan of cars to Bolivar County north of Greenville, where they found a small community amid cotton fields. It was a collection of shacks surrounding an earthen courtyard where the women washed clothes in tubs. There were few men of working age, little food in anyones refrigerators, no indoor plumbing.
Changes in the wage laws had brought to a close the practice of sharecropping, which had been a form of quasi-servitude that had prevailed for a century. As a result, poverty had worsened. In those Delta villages, children suffered the diseases of malnutrition. The children Kennedy saw were happy to shake his hand, but they were ragged and filthy. The women who were watching over them were in poor health and prematurely aged.
It was a visit to the Third World. America at the time was beginning to realize that poverty was a fact of life even in a land of riches and opportunity. And poverty was not unique to African-Americans in the Delta. Impoverished white populations in Appalachia and elsewhere also came to the attention of the nation. Conditions in urban slums flared up into deadly riots in Los Angeles, Detroit and elsewhere. An influential book at the time called The Other America showed Americans the reality of what, properly considered, was not another America. It was America, and it would no longer be ignored.
One of the outcomes of Kennedys investigations was the food stamp program. Poor children in Mississippi or in New York City would not be allowed to suffer malnutrition. It was an embrace of one of Franklin Roosevelts Four Freedoms the freedom from want. It was the charitable response of a national community to the shocking reality of economic injustice.
Political support for food stamps persisted over the years because it was the responsibility of the Agriculture Department, and so its appropriations became part of the farm bill. The farm bill authorizes farm support programs, such as subsidies for cotton, corn and soybeans and price supports for dairy farmers. Farmers understood that poor people would be able to consume the products of American farms if they had food stamps in their hands.
Thus, liberals of the old school George McGovern, Hubert Humphrey supported the farm bill in part because it covered the cost of food stamps but conservatives from farm country supported it, too, because it maintained support for farmers.
This week Republicans in the U.S. House trashed this long history. They had failed previously to pass a farm bill because they had trashed the alliance of interests that made a farm bill possible. They did so by slashing spending on food stamps so deeply that as many as 3 million Americans, half of them children, stood to lose nutritional support. In addition, some conservatives bolted because they opposed continued spending on subsidies for farmers.
The Republican response to this failure was to pass a farm bill this week that excluded food stamps altogether. As one Republican congressman said, Republicans had decided to eliminate extraneous portions of the bill.
Democrats responded with fury. Kids going to bed hungry at night in this nation is extraneous? said Rep. Rosa DeLauro.
The 47 million people who are on (food stamps) are not extraneous, said Rep. Jim McGovern of Massachusetts.
Dysfunction in the Republican House has reached a new low. Not only have Republican members decided not to take up comprehensive immigration reform, now they have sent an unequivocal message on food policy: billions in subsidies for farmers; zero for poor people.
Robert Kennedy was murdered 14 months after helping to shine a spotlight on the gross injustice of poverty in America. Over the years we have spent billions to help put food in the refrigerators of poor families. Far from extraneous, it has been crucial to our nations well-being.MORE IN CommentaryMOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. Full StoryToday, the worlds attention returns to Boston.

Due to the occurrence of bats with white nose syndrome (WNS) in Tennessee, caves on state owned lands are closed to the public until further notice. Cave closures are in effect at this and all other state natural areas where caves are located. View more information about white nose syndrome.
Virgin Falls is 1,157-acre natural area located in White County. The natural area is named for Virgin Falls, which is formed by an underground stream that emerges from a cave, then drops over a 110-foot high cliff before disappearing into another cave at the bottom of the sink. The area is noted for its unique geological features and several (additional) other waterfalls including Big Laurel, Sheep Cave Falls, and Big Branch Falls. The caves at Virgin Falls include Big Laurel, Sheep Cave, and Virgin Falls Cave. The sinkholes at Virgin Falls, such as Virgin Falls Sink and Sheep Cave Sink, are characteristic of karst features found on the Cumberland Plateau. The Caney Fork River and its tributaries drain the area and contribute to the formation of the gorge. The Caney Fork Overlook provides a dramatic view of Scott's Gulf and the Caney Fork River 900 ft below.
Hiking to Virgin Falls and back to the parking area is a five to eight hour hike depending on your pace and whether you hike to the Caney Fork Overlook and/or the Caney Fork River. The trail leaving the parking area meanders down to the Big Branch of the Big Laurel Creek through an upland oak-hickory/chestnut oak hardwood forest crisscrossing a fern dominated upland drainage. Upon descending into the gorge the vegetation changes to hemlock and mixed mesophytic forest which includes maples, oaks, tulip poplar, hickories, buckeye, basswood, cherry, yellow birch, sycamore and many more species. Mountain laurel, magnolia and several ericaceous shrubs (such as various wild blueberries) are common along the trail. The trials pass by small rockhouses, boulder fields, sinks, caves, and waterfalls on route to Virgin Falls where the trail ends. The distance to Virgin Falls is four miles one way. There are designated camping sites off the trail (see map). There is no camping allowed above Virgin Falls. The streams at Virgin Falls are noted for flash flooding, so keep up-to-date on the weather conditions before hiking into the area.
Virgin Falls is a within the greater Scott's Gulf region and adjacent to the Bridgestone/Firestone Centennial Wilderness Area. It was previously a Bowater Pocket Wilderness Area. It was purchased from a private landowner by the State in 2012. The deep gorges are heavily wooded and are ecologically diverse supporting various aged second growth mixed mesophytic and oak-hickory forest. The forests and geologic features make Virgin Falls one of Tennessee's favorite destinations. Please be sure to respect the resource and take out all litter and trash, and if camping, please leave your campsite inviting for the next campers.
Division of Natural Areas, 401 Church Street, 7th Floor L&C Tower Annex, Nashville, TN 37243, phone (615) 532-0431.
Public access is allowed; parking and hiking trails are provided. Backcountry camping is permitted at designated campsites.
Virgin Falls is located southeast of Sparta and is accessible via Highway 70. Go to the community of DeRossett, 11 miles east of Sparta, turn onto Eastland Road and proceed six miles to Scott's Gulf Road. There, you will see a sign for the Bridgestone/Firestone Centennial Wilderness. Turn right onto Scott's Gulf Road and proceed two miles to the parking area and trailhead on the right side of the road.

Suspect Mark Lowe (Courtesy: WTVR)
August 17, 2013
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - One of the police officers who apprehended a man charged in a Chesterfield County law office shooting says the suspect asked the officer to kill him.
Virginia Capitol Police Officer Jamie Cosby testified on the first day of Mark M. Lowe's attempted murder trial Friday. Lowe is accused of trying to kill his ex-wife's lawyer, who escaped injury.
The Richmond Times-Dispatch reports that Cosby testified that he was driving by the Barnes & Diehl law offices in June 2012 when he saw people fleeing. He stopped and encountered Lowe outside the building with a rifle. He testified that Lowe told him, "Do me a favor, buddy, kill me right now."
Cosby didn't shoot. He and a Chesterfield officer managed to disarm and apprehend the suspect.
The trial resumes Monday.

Heavy duty nut drivers with hallow shafts. These are all around handy, and are color coded to size - sometimes hard to remember color sizing and size is not printed on the top as the another reviewer mentioned. Great value for the money and Craftsman lifetime warranty is always nice.

I've always had some of these nutdriver's in my mechanics tool box, but when I saw this set, in a zippered case, I thought, this is perfect for around the house type work. On many occasions, especially when assembling furniture or similar type items, the screw heads are made to accommodate both a screwdriver or nutdriver. I prefer using a nutdriver because it tightens the screws much better than a screwdriver and doesn't strip the head easily as with a screwdriver. Plus the handy carrying case makes it all that much more convenient and assures that I'm going to have the correct size for the job next to my side without having to make a trip back to my larger toolbox when more than one size is required. A definite must have for any do-it-yourselfer!

It's nice to have both std and metric drivers all in one handy pouch particularly when there is a question as to what the small bolt or screw is. Great price!

Awesome tools. Use them daily at work. Would be better if the tips were magnetic . Still an awesome product all the same. Perhaps a magnetic insert that will not Interfere with the hollow pass through shaft of the nut driver. And perhaps a stronger zipper tab.

Well made, but difficult to read the sizes. I would also like to see a case that is more rugged and slightly larger to hold this set. Overall, a handy addition to keep in the tool box.

This set is beautifully packaged and easy to grab when needed for a job. The variety of sizes is perfect for whatever task you have to handle. Still made in the USA and you can feel the quality.

this is another quality Craftsman product, complete with a convenient case to hold the tools - zippered to ensure that everything can stay together. Color system makes it easy to pick metric or standard; great value for the money
Fort Worth, TX

Heck of a deal especially since I got it for 20 bucks. US made tools, look like good ol' Craftsman quality (I haven't used them yet but look similar in construction to my few oldies), and the zippered case is nicer than I expected which holds the drivers compactly and conveniently. Color coded drivers with good assortment of the small- to mid-size inch and metric sizes. I also like that the main part of the handles are two different colors for inch and metric.

Barrow man, 37, was part of drugs supply plot
Last updated at 18:01, Sunday, 13 January 2013
A BARROW man has been warned he is facing an inevitable jail term after being found guilty of being part of a drugs plot.
Jason Benzie had flatly denied being linked in any way to a conspiracy to deal heroin and cocaine in the town.
The jury took around six-and-three-quarter hours of deliberations to reach their majority verdicts.
Benzie, 37 denied charges of conspiracy to supply heroin and cocaine.
His case has been adjourned for sentencing on a date to be fixed.
A pre-sentence report will be drawn up on him by the probation service.
Benzie was further remanded in custody, with the judge, Recorder Stephen Parker, telling him: "Immediate custody is almost inevitable, in terms of the sentence".
His partner, Vicky Bryan, is one of a number of people to have admitted their part in what took place.
Police carried out a raid at the couple's home on Vulcan Road, Barrow, in July last year.
The defendant described himself feeling "angry and bewildered" at being arrested.
Benzie accepted in evidence that he sometimes used heroin, getting the drug from suppliers in town.
He didn't think that his partner Vicky Bryan knew about that.
At the time of the police raid Bryan was found in possession of a plastic capsule which contained heroin and cocaine wraps worth a total of £700.
Benzie explained he had been a heroin user, managed to give it up in the past, but then started taking the drug again after his father died in April last year.
He carried on using the drug when he lost his job and was still taking heroin around the time of the police raid on his semi-detached home in July last year.
However, he was unaware if his partner was taking drugs, he said.
The defendant also said he knew nothing about a series of text conversations on a particular mobile phone seized by police.
He also said he did not make any of 29 calls to a particular phone number, over a certain period of days last year.
Benzie said his partner had started using his phone, having run out of credit on her own.

One half through the game the Wolf Pack was in danger of losing the cannon as UNLV scored on its first three possessions of the game as it built a 21-0 lead on the way to a 31-14 advantage at halftime. With 30 minutes standing between it and the rivalry trophy, UNLV could envision washing away seven years of blue paint with red.
Unfortunately for the Rebels, Nevada will be adding an eighth straight coat of blue to the Fremont Cannon after mounting a 17-point second half comeback en route to 42-37 victory on Saturday afternoon.
"Let me tell you something, that cannon ain't red," Nevada coach Chris Ault said. "It's blue and silver."
With things looking bleak after falling behind 31-14, the Pack came out inspired in the second half.
After allowing its rivals from down south to rack up 325 yards and 31 points in the first half, the Wolf Pack defense clamped down. The Pack D held UNLV to 121 yards in the second half, including just 31 yards on seven plays in the third quarter, en route just six Rebel points for the remainder of the game.
"It was the defense," Ault said about the biggest difference in the second half. "That first half we didn't stop them at any time. They had what they wanted. The defensive coaches did a great job of preparing those guys for the second half and really saying 'Hey, enough is enough. Start playing some football.' On the other side of the ball, we knew we could move the ball and felt comfortable, it was just a matter of putting points on the board."
While the Nevada defense found its groove, the Wolf Pack offense found its rhythm.
After an exchange of possessions opened the third, Nevada made it into the end zone on a 12-yard pass from quarterback Devin Combs to wide receiver Richy Turner to cut the deficit to 31-21 with 4:31 left in the quarter.
Nevada then forced a UNLV (1-6, 1-1 Mountain West) punt which it then turned into more points on a 3-yard run by running back Stefphon Jefferson to bring the Wolf Pack within a score of the lead at 31-28 with just under 13 minutes remaining in the contest.
On the Rebels' ensuing drive, the Silver and Blue defense came up big as Nevada's Dray Bell jumped a route and stuck one hand into the air to snatch an interception, giving the Wolf Pack the ball at UNLV's 34-yard line.
Capitalizing on the opportunity to seize the lead for the first time in the game, Combs hit tight end Zach Sudfeld for a 7-yard score, leaving the scoreboard reading 35-31 with 9:43 on the game clock.
Putting the game away, Nevada forced a punt before driving down to the UNLV goal line for a 2-yard TD spurt by Combs for a 42-31 lead with 2:12 to play.
Nevada (6-1, 3-0 MWC) will host San Diego State on Saturday with kickoff set for 7:35 p.m.

Politics, government and public life for Southern California
Rep. Karen Bass promotes new law to help foster kids stay in school
Kitty Felde/ KPCC
Congresswoman Karen Bass of Los Angeles is behind a law that will allow social workers access to education records of foster children.
One of the bills awaiting President Obama's signature makes an important change to the laws that govern children in foster care. Democrat Congresswoman Karen Bass of Los Angeles championed the measure.
Bass co-founded the Caucus on Foster Care Youth when she arrived on Capitol Hill two years ago.
The first piece of legislation from the caucus seems minor, but Bass says it has big consequences. It allows a social worker access to a young person's educational record. Bass says the original restrictions in the federal education code were designed to protect a child's privacy.
"The problem," says Bass, "is that the average youth in the foster care system attends three-to-five high schools. And what winds up happening [to] kids, if they're transferred and transferred, they wind up repeating course after course after course." Bass says when you do that to a 14- or 15-year-old, they stop going to school.
Bass says the idea for the legislation emerged from a nationwide listening tour, in which foster kids and social workers weighed in on steps Congress could take to improve the nation's foster care system. That listening tour continues through this year.
