My Pick of Steve Jobs' Technology Quotes
"The most compelling reason for most people to buy a computer for the home will be to link it to a nationwide communications network." (1985)
"The desktop metaphor was invented because one, you were a stand-alone device, and two, you had to manage your own storage. And that may go away." (1996)
Verizon iPhone or iNot?
Back in the summer of 2010, as one of the million proud owners of iPhone 4, I noticed a certain setting to switch phone carrier. That setting then portended the change we will see tomorrow. But should you bite the bait? Assuming CDMA and GSM don't matter, here's part 1 of my guide:
There is a lot of spin around Apple's flagship cash cow, or as we have come to know it- the iPhone, which only recently represented about 43% of its overall sales. Not all of the coverage is positive (remember Foxconn?). Apple's growing pains also include a big lawsuit fight. But for those with out a blind searing faith in Steve Jobs, the genius patriarch, the iPhone may very well be suffocating. If true, could Jobs be repeating his original sin? And if so, should your phone follow his sin to the grave?
iOS works better than Android out-of-the-box. To better understand the genesis of its famed usability and cool minimalism, watch Jobs' 2005 Stanford Commencement Address. If you decide to switch, be prepared to shell out monies in cool apps and media. From a quick glance, I paid around $750 over 2 years. To Apple. Not AT&T (that averaged around $2,400 for the same time). And remember that MP3s from Amazon, somethings you can't buy on your iPhone, tend to be less expensive and redownloadable – a big plus for some. And all that precious data would cost even more to put into MobileMe, Apple's own cloud solution, never mind the naysayers. So more additions to your ever burgeoning monthly bill (Tethering, Personal Hotspot, …).
iPhone's Mythical Advantage: Apps
Apple still disallows Adobe Flash (or Oracle Java) from iOS. It appears to be more a business decision than a technology constraint, designed to control the sprawl of Flash-based gaming mobile websites where you could buy outside of Apple's walled-garden. How this affects HTML5 gaming websites is still unfolding, but it certainly helps the lagging QuickTime in the meantime. In any case, it goes against the customer's best interests by taking away her choice to enjoy multimedia content in one of the industry's most prolific formats. But Apple has you covered with the most commonly used app: the browser. Mobile Safari, hands down is the best mobile browser out there between the platforms that I tested, namely iOS, Android and Windows Mobile. For the GIS pros among you, Joben blogs about GIS apps for the iPhone. You can always find an increasing number at the App Store, like the iGIS.
Jailbreaking Folsom
So you switch and finally get that toy you were waiting for? Why jailbreak it? Jailbreaking the iPhone isn't worth the effort, even if it is legal. And even if not upgrading to the latest and greatest release (something that iTunes would handle seamlessly for you, but something that you can't always do with Cydia because Cydia often trots a step behind) is an acceptable risk, ask yourself if your precious data is too important to jailbreak. After all, you could brick your iPhone and quite possibly provide no way for iTunes to restore it. But if your phone data is not critical ahem, then you can add some developer functionalities by jailbreaking and escape the infamous iTunes bloat. Now jailbreaking could also introduce your spanking iOS to new viruses, but if you must, hope over to Cydia. If you need a copy of the old firmware during jailbreak, grab it from here. Once you jailbreak, remember to download a file browser or explorer, like iFunBox or iPhoneBrowser. You may also want to jailbreak if you want to install a phone firewall out of privacy concerns. After all, Apple did confess to collecting GPS data from iOS 3 and iOS 4 daily. Then again, if that is what propels you, why share your payment info with Cydia's marketplace (just asking)?
Some quick notes on iFunBox or iPhoneBrowser – You can't watch your uploaded pics or videos, or play your uploaded songs in their native app, even if you upload them to the folders that the iPhone looks under, say //var/mobile/Media/DCIM/100APPLE/. This is because the iPhone, much like the Android, extensively uses SQLite as its Swiss Army database, and all your uploads need to be first registered in the database, say //private/var/mobile/Media/PhotoData/Photos.sqlite which links your IMG_0001.JPG or IMG_0002.MOV. Now there are Cydia apps like iFile that help add your photos, but videos are still no go. But if you are brave enough to try, download the SQLite Manager add-on for Firefox and test your luck.

Mediation between Denver Comic Con and co-founder Charlie La Greca concludes
The two parties agreed to mediation in February after La Greca publicly aired his concerns over what he perceived as mismanagement by CBC leaders, making claims he was ousted with no explanation from DCC and CBC, and demanding a financial investigation of the organization.
CBC and DCC responded with a statement of their own refuting each of La Greca's major claims — including the apparent lack of CBC programming, the use of revenue from the popular Comic Con event, the manner of La Greca's departure from the organization's board, and more.
A joint statement on the outcome of the mediation, released this morning by Comic Book Classroom, reads as follows.

The Freedom of Information Act ("FOIA") is a law that allows any member of the public to request copies of federal government records, including EEOC records. 5 U.S.C. § 552.
EEOC makes many records publicly available on the EEOC's main website, such as informal discussion letters and guidance documents. Documents are also available in the FOIA E-Library (an electronic collection), and in physical libraries located at EEOC Headquarters (131 M Street, N.E., Suite 4SW16N, Washington, D.C. 20507) and District Offices. Before requesting a document through FOIA, please check to see whether it is available in one of these locations.
Special rules apply to requests for records that relate to a charge of discrimination that has been filed with the EEOC (a collection of all the records related to a charge is called a "charge file").
You can only request a charge file if you are the person who filed the charge (the "charging party"), or the employer who was accused of discrimination (the "respondent"), and the EEOC has completed its investigation of the charge of employment
If you are requesting a charge file, you can choose to make a "Section 83" request instead of a FOIA request. A Section 83 request will be processed more quickly, but you will not receive an explanation of why certain information in the file was withheld, if any, and you will not have the right to appeal the decision to withhold the information.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 3/5/2013 (2520 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Excerpted from The Lucky Ones: African Refugees' Stories of Extraordinary Courage with permission from Great Plains Publications — Copyright (2013).
Winnipeg's Anne Mahon borrowed from her experience as a volunteer to interview refugees from Africa about the horrors that ejected them from their homes. The often chilling accounts of loss, war, genocide, rape and violence compiled in this book are also profoundly inspiring. The book will be launched on Tuesday, May 7 at 7 p.m. at McNally Robinson Booksellers at Grant Park Shopping Centre.
To be a refugee is to be powerless — you leave your home, you leave your property, you leave your friends and relatives, and you go alone. I know; I spent 12 years living as a refugee, mostly in Kenya. I watched my children being born and my wife die in those refugee camps. I have seen suffering — so much suffering — but I have seen goodness, too. The people I've met in Canada just don't know what is happening in the refugee camps in Africa. It is my hope that by sharing my experiences I will help Canadians understand what life was really like there.
My wife and I fled first to Congo, but we couldn't live there because of the lack of safety, so we moved on to Tanzania. Our first child was born there in 1996. But the Tanzanian government made a decision to repatriate all Rwandese and was forcing them to return home. We felt that returning to Rwanda was unsafe because the civil war was still raging, so we moved on to the Kakuma refugee camp in Northern Kenya.
Have you ever watched people fight over a jug of water? Our water in Kakuma flowed from a community tap. We lined up in the morning at 7 a.m. to fill our containers. The ration was only 10 litres of water per person per day, but still, the taps could run dry before everyone got water. And they did run dry. It was frustrating waiting for water and watching fighting and violence when there was not enough. The water was precious. We had to wash our clothes with it, take a bath with it, drink it and cook with it.
As well, so many people in the camp were suffering from malnutrition. The food we were getting from the World Food Program was not enough; it was not a balanced diet nutritionally. There was a non-government organization (NGO) providing children with supplementary feedings — milk and porridge — but it still wasn't enough. People had left their homes with nothing, travelling hundreds of miles; so many people were without proper clothing, too. It was a good thing it was hot!
There was another problem — many refugees grew up in wartime and had to retreat for safety, often to the forest. They were stressed and violent and conditioned by the killing in a war. So to kill a person was normal. They had never had the opportunity to learn how to read and write in school and had never lived in a peaceful situation to know "this is right and this is wrong."
There was so much violence in our area of Mogadishu at that time. The militia came to my older brother's house and opened a machine-gun on everyone. His wife and oldest son, then 17, were killed. My brother was shot at, too, but somehow he and his two daughters survived. They all ran away and let the militia take everything. At that time, I was a widow and I took my kids and fled to another, safer area of the city. We moved around a lot trying to get away from the gunfire and explosions. We would run and stay in a camp or shack in a safer area and then when that area became violent, we'd flee again.
I sold all the jewelry I had so I could buy food for my family. We had to start over many times. Looking around Mogadishu now, you can see the whole city has been destroyed by the violence.
One day, I returned to my old house to see if anything such as blankets were left that I could take with me. As I was walking up the street, I saw there was an old truck with the roof cut off and a machine-gun coming out of where the roof had been in the passenger area. We call these "technical vehicles." People were hiding underneath waiting for people passing by. Three men and three women with guns jumped out. One man put a gun to my neck and I was very scared. At that time, two tribes were fighting: Abgal and Habarrgidir. Their neighbourhoods were separated with a border to divide the two tribes.
One of the women in the group said, "Kill her far away so her blood does not touch us." He asked me to walk and held the gun at my back as I moved. I recited verses from the Qur'an as I did this. He then told me to turn around and face him. The gunman said, "The truth is what I need. Who are you and what is your tribe?"
In Somalia, it is important to learn your tribal ancestry. You have to know it all, so that if someone asks, you can recite it all the way back. Back home, children must learn their tribal lineage 30 generations back because they could get caught and killed if they say the wrong thing. That's how important it is. Thankfully, I knew both my tribal lineage and also my husband's.
The gunman said, "OK, who else knows you in the neighbourhood?" I named a particular man and the gunman asked to speak with him. I said, "He has moved to another part of Mogadishu, but if you want, we can go and see him and he will tell you my father is Asharaf and my mother is Habarrgidir." He looked at me and said, "Get out of here and don't come back." I have tried to forget all this; I do not want to remember it.
My dad talked to one of his Nigerian friends who had a boat and agreed to help us escape. So one night at about two in the morning, this friend knocked on the door and we left immediately.
We took everything with us we could carry. The boat was a fishing boat meant to hold about 20 people, but it was leaking and in need of repair. Our belongings were too heavy and the boat started to sink. We had to throw things into the water, things we later wished we could have saved like bar soap and laundry soap.
We threw so much into the water that we basically had nothing left, not even food or drinking water. We had to bail water out of the boat the whole four days we were on the water.
I think it was November 1999. We travelled northwest to the country of Guinea. Unfortunately, they did not allow us entry into the country. The officials said Guinea was not taking any Liberian refugees because the civil war was senseless. They felt there was no reason for Liberians to be killing their own people. All of this was very upsetting.
We got back on the boat and travelled back past Liberia and on to Ghana, which is east of Liberia and the neighbouring country of Cote d'Ivoire. We did not stop at Cote d'Ivoire because it is a French-speaking country and we spoke no French and also because we knew they had strict rules for visitors.
We were happy when we reached Ghana and were accepted, but that is just the beginning of our story.
— — —
There are lots of people who still need help, especially those in the refugee camps. I always tell people it is not over yet. The fact some of us were fortunate to come here is not the end; it is only the beginning. If some of the refugees in the camps were to tell their stories to you, you'd say, "You know, Chris's story is nothing. There are worse hardships."
When I open my book of life and I look through it, I see all kinds of experiences. Good has come from all parts, even the unlucky ones. Everything in my life has turned out for the better; that's how I see it. Had all those things not happened in my life, I would not be where I am today. If I had not lived through the war in Liberia, I would not have gone to Ghana. If my mom had not left Ghana, I would not have ended up here in Canada. Everything that happened has turned out to be fortunate for me.
My dad taught me difficult times don't last forever. He said never worry about tomorrow; tomorrow will take care of itself. There is always a better day.

text: Drones have had a profound effect on the way America fights its wars, allowing it to fight in new theaters while minimizing the risk to troops. The U.S. has used drones for decades, with early versions flown during World War II and the Vietnam War. But over the past decade, the Defense Department's development and production of drones has rapidly increased. The U.S. military has gone from having just a few drones at the outset of the Iraq War to now over 7,000. And we're not alone, not by a long shot. The lure of enduring overhead surveillance and strike capability at a safe remove -- and at a relative bargain -- is just as appealing to the rest of the world's militaries as it is to us. Sure, American drone technology is a sought-after brand on the international arms market, but other countries have and increasingly are developing their own platforms. Allies like Israel and adversaries like Iran have used reconnaissance drones in combat since the 1980s and continue to turn out new models. China is taking its lead from American drone models with knockoff Predators and Global Hawks. Today, more than 50 countries are using or developing unmanned aerial vehicles, or UAVs. Here are some of the most interesting. Israel's Heron TP The Heron TP (a.k.a. "Eitan"), built by Israeli Aerospace Industries, boasts an impressive array of features. It can fly for up to 36 hours at heights of over 40,000 feet carrying a payload of over a ton. For snooping from above, the Heron is chocked full of sensors and reconnaissance gear, including forward-looking infrared, laser ranger finder, electro-optical, maritime patrol and synthetic aperture radar, among others. Significantly, it's also capable of carrying weapons and can reach targets as far away as Iran. The Heron might even lead an attack on the Mullahs' nuclear facilities, jamming cellphone networks and spoofing air defense systems. It's a step up from its predecessor, the similarly titled Heron-1 reconnaissance drone. Unarmed, it can fly for four hours longer than its more advanced cousin and carries only a quarter of the payload. Still, the original Heron has proven a popular export around the world, providing Medium-Altitude Long-Endurance unmanned spying capability to India, Turkey, Brazil and other countries. Israel successfully leveraged sales of the Heron-1 to a drone-hungry Russia in order to dissuade it from arming Iran with sophisticated air defense missiles. Israel's been a leader in drone technology for quite some time now, even supplying America with a fair share of its robotic planes. (U.S. drone maintenance crews used to have to learn Hebrew is order to keep the UAVs flying.) In early October, the Israeli Air Force celebrated the 40th anniversary of its first drone unit, Squadron 200. The unit was created in order to help the Israeli air force spy on neighboring air defense missiles without risk to pilots. Squadron 200 first used an Israeli-modified version of the U.S. Ryan Firebee UAV, the Firebee 1241, bought from the U.S. in 1970. Following the Yom Kippur war in 1973, Israel purchased a number of other American UAVs and began developing one of its own reconnaissance models, the Scout, which became operational in June of 1981. Photo: IDFChina's Pterodactyl I China's notorious for being awash in pirated goods, but the copycat trend isn't limited just to consumer goods. They've been making knockoff American drones since the 1960s. Consider one of the latest imitations, the Pterodactyl I. Look familiar? It's China's version of an armed Predator drone. If you've always wanted one, but could never convince America to sell it to you, you're in luck: the Pterodactyl is available for export. Roughly the same size as the Predator, Chinese officials claim it has similar capabilities, with a 20 hour maximum endurance (compared to the Predator's 24) and the ability to carry about 10 pounds less than the Predator's 450 pound payload. The Pterodactyl apparently imitates another Predator feature, too: it crashes. Photos of what appears to be a crashed Pterodactyl in Hebei Province, China surfaced late this summer. Just because China copies American drones, though, doesn't mean it operates a UAV force with the same capabilities as the U.S. military. It's still behind in developing the engine technology, communications satellites and human capital necessary to support a drone fleet on par with Uncle Sam's.China's Soaring Dragon The armed Predator isn't the only American drone China's tried to copy. The Soaring Dragon ("Xianglong") is China's spin on America's high-altitude, long endurance Global Hawk reconnaissance drone. A project of China's Chengdu Aircraft Design Institute and Guizhou Aviation Group, the HQ-4 even mimics the Global Hawk's designation, RQ-4. Pictures, video and models of the Chinese drone show it imitates the Global Hawk's distinctive shape with a long, thin wings, a top-mounted rear engine and rounded nose scoop. The Xianglong flies shy of the Block 10 model Global Hawk's 65,000 foot maximum height at 57,000 feet, but with a roughly 4,300 mile range doesn't come close to the Global Hawk's approximately 14,000 mile range. Not much is known about what specific kinds of sensors and spy gear the Xianglong will carry. China has already taken the Xianglong out for a spin with a November 2009 test flight. Despite its namesake, China's Soaring Dragon is a surveillance drone and won't be raining fire on enemies -- at least not directly. It's believed to be intended for maritime use, pointing out targets at sea for China's anti-ship missiles.Iran's Swallow Just because it's under sanctions, doesn't mean Iran is going without when it comes to military drone technology. It's been flying drones since the late 1980s, during the Iran-Iraq war. First produced in 1993, most Ababil ("Swallow") models are designed for reconnaissance. The Ababil-T, though, comes equipped with a high explosive warhead. The drones can be launched either by a rocket or pneumatic system and can return to ground using a parachute or skids. Ababils are controlled remotely by radio telemetry and operate in autopilot using GPS and an interial navigation system. Ababil variants have shown up in the skies over a few Middle Eastern conflicts in recent years. In early 2009, U.S. forces in Iraq spotted an Ababil-3 crossing the border from Iran into Iraq and tracked the UAV for over an hour before shooting it down. During the 2006 Lebanon war, the Israeli air force downed an Ababil-T supplied to Hezbollah while it was flying over Haifa. But Iran isn't just coasting on its holdover drone technology from the 80s and 90s.. Iran's been ramping up drone production and research recently, exploring new kinds of homegrown unmanned systems. Photo: Iran-Airshow.comRussia's Stork Russia's been a fairly eager customer of Israeli UAV technology, but it's also been trying to develop some new drones of its own. Take the Stork ("Aist"), for example. Russia had hoped the Stork would be capable of a variety of missions. With a maximum payload of 1,100 lbs, it was supposed to conduct reconnaissance and point out targets for the Iskander-M short range ballistic missile system. Russia even hoped for an armed version that capable of strikes. It was supposed to do all this, that is, until it literally crashed and burned on the runway during testing in early 2010.India's Rustom Rustom is India's homegrown Medium-Altitude Long-Endurance drone. Developed by India's Aeronautic Development Establishment, it's expected to come in three different variants. The Rustom-1 and Rustom-H are surveillance models. The smaller Rustom-1 has already passed five test flights and will have a 12-14 hour endurance. The the larger H-model will fly for twice that long at 24 hours. Its surveillance kit includes day and night eletro optic sensors, synthetic aperture radar and maritime patrol radar as well as electronic and communications intelligence sensors. There's also an armed variant of the Rustom in the works, the Rustom-C, based on the H-model. If successful, the Rustom program will help India fill out its fleet with homemade models of long endurance drones, replacing its fleet of Israeli-made Herons. Photo: WikipediaIsrael's AirMule Reconnaissance and attack aren't the only missions drones can be useful for. Developed and funded by Israel's Urban Aeronautics Ltd., the AirMule drone program is designed to ferry cargo, medevac the wounded and resupply troops in areas where conventional aircraft can't go. AirMule flies using ducted fans, giving it vertical take-off and landing ability as well as a unique Star Wars-style landspeeder appearance. Sure, AirMule looks like a movie prop. But Israel's Air Force and Medical Corps have reportedly expressed interest in purchasing the hover drone.Germany's Barracuda Developed by the European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company (EADS) for Germany and Spain, the EADS Barracuda is an experimental attempt at a UCAV with some stealth features. The demonstrator was first revealed to the public in 2006. It quickly ran into trouble when the only existing demonstrator crashed that year during flight test. EADS said it wouldn't continue the program, but later reversed itself. The drone reportedly comes equipped with radar absorbing materials. It's capable of carrying a range of infrared and electro optical sensors and synthetic aperture radar. A number of European have been toying with stealth killer drone demonstrators in recent years. Britain's BAE is working on the delta-shaped, stealth Taranis strike drone demonstrator. France's Dassault Aviation is leading a consortium of Italian, Greek, Spanish, Swedish and Swiss companies working on the nEUROn demonstrator, again delta-shaped, stealth and armed. So if you're planning on pitching Europeans on a drone design, remember: weapons, triangles and stealth features are your best selling points. Photo: yyzphillip/FlickrChina's Dark Sword Dark Sword is China's concept for a fast-flying killer drone. Precise details about the combat drone are hard to come as China has only given sneak peeks of the program. Still, pictures, models and comments by Chinese official portray Dark Sword as aiming for stealth capability and intended for air-to-air combat. The triangular-shaped design with apparently retractable canards leads many to assume China is hoping the Dark Sword would be capable of long range missions and supersonic speeds. Photo: Pakistan Defence ForumIsrael's Harpy Israel's Harpy exists in the space somewhere between a missile and an attack drone. The vehicle-launched system loiters in the air for hours looking for enemy radar systems. Once it detects an enemy air defense radar, it dives straight for the source of the signal, detonating its warhead in the air above to destroy it. Israel has exported the Harpy to a number of countries, but its exports to China briefly landed it in hot water with the Defense Department. In 2004, Israel planned to upgrade Harpy drones it had sold to China in the 1990s, to the loud objection of the United States. Israel ultimately scuttled the upgrade plans, and the Defense Department gave it a short time-out from the international consortium building the F-35 stealth jet. Photo: WikipediaIran's Striker Iran rolled out Karrar, its long distance bomber drone, in 2010 with much fanfare. Iranian officials claim the jet-powered drone can carry about 500lbs worth of weapons – configured either for two 250 lb bombs or a single 500 lb one – with a range of about 600 miles. Observers argue over whether the Karrar ("Striker") is more a copy of America's MQM-107 Streaker drone from the mid-1970s or the South African Denel Dynamics Skua, first developed in the 1980s. That would make it less the "ambassador of death" Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmedinejad hailed it as and more an envoy of the past. Photo: IRNA

The NIV G/K is part of the Zondervan Essential Bible Study Suite, which is not available for Easy Install. We will have to wait until a method of syncing with our computers is implemented.
Ahh. I see. Thanks. Hopefully it will be soon. It's my "Go To" text.

These Bibles are all available, as long as they are in your account.
I did purchase those texts (SRSV, NJB, REB), so why would they not be showing up on the downloads page?
And why are you working on New Year's Day, on a Saturday I think everyone here agrees you all work plenty hard enough...
Cheers (and bonne annee)

If you contact the Accordance staff, I think they can give you access to the "plain" NIV since you already have the NIV-G/K. Then you could use the NIV on iOS until such time as syncing is an option. The ESV that comes with the iOS app would let you check Strong's numbers. Not the prettiest work around, but perhaps an option as you wait.
Thanks Lorinda. I do have the NIV with footnotes on the iPad, but was looking for the tagged NIV-G/K that I currently use on my desktop app.

PerseveranceNot every workout is going to be a joy. In fact, you're likely to miss a few training runs along the way. The key is consistency and keeping the momentum flowing. The marathon training plan is a blue print that you can modify to fit your journey to the start line. Be flexible along the way. A short workout is better than none at all.
It won't officially be a marathon training season with out at least one workout that knocks you off your feet. We learn some of our greatest lessons from the most adverse training sessions.
More: 7 Mistakes to Avoid on Your Long Runs
FaithTapering is to marathoning as sleep is to life. Adding to your training plan in the final few weeks in hopes to do some last-minute cramming only takes away from your race day performance. Occupy your mind and rest your body. You will likely perform as well as the quality of your recovery.
As you make your way through the final weeks of training, feelings of shear and utter fear can creep into your mind. "This seemed like a great idea a few months ago," you may say to yourself. This is the time to review your training log, focus on a few strong workouts during the season, and have faith in your preparation. It's what going to get you through to the finish line.
More: How to Tune Up Your Training
PatienceIt is easy to get caught up in the excitement on race morning, especially with your well-rested body. The secret to a beautiful finish line photo is to be the tortoise rather than the hare. Pace yourself early, hold back the reigns, and invest in the final 6 miles (the second start line). Being able to pass people in the final miles of a race (nicely, of course) is one of the most inspiring feelings. Your legs will be fatigued, but you'll feel like a superhero.
It is better to define your success by the magnitude of the accomplishment, than the minutes on a clock. Fast or slow, we all make our way to the finish line with our own two feet. Celebrate every finish and appreciate your marathon journey.

Camera works 1 is a new portfolio of image created from Giles' vast archival collection of negatives, they reflect his love & influence of early 20th century photography. "Camera Work" was a photographic magazine that existed between 1903 & 1917, published in New York by the great photographic pioneer Alfred Stieglitz, the magazine was first to champion photography as an art form & an important landmark in the history of photography.
Using these publications as my template I have tried to recreate the look & feel of the early photographers that have been such an influence on my own work. Giles Norman
each individual print is produced by giles using fine art photographic paper and archival inks. all photographs are available in various sizes which includes the white boarder, both framed and unframed. our frames are solid wood with a black finish.

Earth to NewsFeed readers: after eight and a half months, NASA's $2.5 billion Mars rover Curiosity (carried by the Mars Science Laboratory spacecraft) touched down safely in the Red Planet's Gale Crater at 10:32pm Pacific Time last night. But for us, watching NASA's livestream of the engineers at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., was almost more fun than the landing itself. If you couldn't stay up for the event — or just spaced out at any point— here are the most adorkable team-bonding moments from the control room.
(MORE: Wheels Down on The Red Planet)
The Mohawk: Curiosity's mission was hairy enough, but in the walkup to the landing, a red-and-blue-striped mohawk was the star of the livestream. It belongs to Bobak Ferdowsi, the Mars Science Laboratory's Flight Director, and almost immediately, space geeks tracked down his Twitter feed, @TweetsOutLoud, and started making memes.
The Peanuts: As the rover made its descent, engineers popped open specially labeled jars of peanuts for good luck. The tradition dates back to 1967, when NASA's Ranger 7 became the first spacecraft to successfully send photos of the lunar surface back to Earth. When control room staffers saw a colleague eating peanuts, they credited the snack for bringing them luck.
The Hilariously Failed High-Fives: The spacecraft jockeys of the NASA control room can sure execute a Mars landing, but they have a bit of trouble with their hand jive. Here, a couple of team members court disaster while executing a high-five. Abort!
The Polo Shirts: The control room staff wore matching "Curiosity Landing" blue polo shirts that depicted a sky crane dangling Curiosity — the so-called "7 Minutes of Terror" segment of the craft's daring landing.
(WATCH: The Coolest Mars Landing Ever Attempted)
Hey, It's Will.i.am! Here's a photo of musician Will.i.am being briefed yesterday about Mars Science Laboratory by NASA chief scientist Jim Garvin. The Black Eyed Peas frontman hopes Curiosity's journey will inspire more young people to pursue science and technology careers. He also claims he wrote a song about the landing.

APImetrics: Providing complete API control for customers
About APImetrics
APImetrics delivers insight into how critical APIs, micro services, web services, and other systems work and interoperate for enterprise and business customers.
The APImetrics platform gives customers deep insights into their API infrastructure, helping to ensure that problems are preemptively detected and resolved. To reliably deliver end-to-end analytics and provide in-depth client API visibility, APImetrics sought a solution that provided low latency and required minimal IT administration while maximizing availability for clients who may have dramatically different monitoring needs.
Google Cloud Results
- Reduces operating costs nearly 5x by using Google Cloud Platform versus competing cloud platform
- Boosts IT infrastructure efficiency with developer-friendly features that minimize routine administration needs
- Increases APImetrics performance and reliability through cost-effective Google Cloud Platform scalability
50% frontend speed boost with Cloud Functions
Enabling Change
Solutions: Migration
As APIs become an increasingly important part of any company's IT strategy, APImetrics helps businesses lower API failure rates and optimize latency by providing customers with end-to-end visibility for their API infrastructure. With APImetrics, companies can quickly locate issues such as network or gateway problems and resolve them before they reach customers. The APImetrics platform relies on multiple Google Cloud Platform (GCP) solutions to help customers better understand their APIs.
App Engine and Compute Engine power the platform's backend, which supports general data analysis and analytics functionality. Cloud Functions provides frontend customer support for tasks such as locally triggering scheduled events, while Cloud Datastore and Cloud Storage provide archiving support. Cloud SQL and BigQuery help index data for later machine analysis, while Cloud Tasks and Cloud Pub/Sub support an agent network that provides additional machine learning resources.
APImetrics benefits from cost-effective scalability on GCP that allows it to handle nearly one million daily API calls and terabytes worth of customer data stores. Features including out-of-the-box Python and extendable library support on GCP allowed administrators to immediately focus on customer and platform development, instead of having to invest time building out the infrastructure for its platform. By migrating to GCP, APImetrics estimates that it reduced back-end operating costs by nearly 5x.
"What we're trying to do is put APIs back into the hands of non-technical business managers. Without Google Cloud Platform and its ability to scale quickly and affordably, we simply wouldn't be in business."—David O'Neill, CEO, APImetrics

Another thing...... do you drink a lot of diet beverages or eat/drink a lot of sugar substitutes in your food?
Anyone else in the house that is having health issues also?
Another thing...... do you drink a lot of diet beverages or eat/drink a lot of sugar substitutes in your food?
Anyone else in the house that is having health issues also?
Because many of you have mentioned lyme disease (I've had it my wife has and may still) I reccomend the documentary Under Your Skin. You'll learn more about Lyme than you really want too.
>they actually say it is absolutly caused by a virus.
Me. My hives,experience, and location make a good "data point"
My bees too have ccd (for 5 years now)
My health has deteriorated too, not so drastically,
I attribute it more to ageing. 1 handed typing sucks
Since I have devised a half-assed treatment for the bees
my level of angst about that has reduced
I feel the responsability for my friends/servents/slaves
despite the extra work
>30 colonies this past year and had 23 +/- lost to CCD
What percent WL (winter loss)
>The CCD hives had very few bees
1/2 to 1 cup?
>or any other ideas
Well like many virus IIV(6) is sensitive to VC (vitamin C)
The treatment is labour intensive
VC sometimes work on human virus too,
could be a treatment for you too, if your problem is viral
Hal, in the spring, summer when observing your bees
note if they do "funny" movements of their rear legs
I am convinced that 'rear-leg symptoms' are key to
positive/negative diagnosis
Still awaiting any confirmation/denial on that, hope you can help
I've written many post about ccd, here and elsewhere, search archives
Best of luck
CCD still somewhat of a mystery, but in suspected CCD colonies both Nosema Ceranae and a virus genome together have been found in these colonies.
Nosema Ceranae can be transmitted to humans, and although I am unsure of how it affects us, I do know we need to be very careful with cleanliness and hygiene when working our bees. Bees spread N.ceranae when packing bee bread into cells, then feeding contaminated bee bread (and parasite) to their young. If we ingest N. ceranae, (which in bees is an intestinal parasite) our bodies are the perfect temperature and moisture to sustain their life.
Look on "scientific beekeeping.com" for the article called "The Nosema Twins, Part 1"...
I share your concern...
Hi all,
All - The stress test for my heart has given me the comfort to say that this is not heart related.
All- I have had a tick bite early spring and was tested 2 weeks after and was tested again 4 months later as a follow up. No Lyme disease I can have this tested again.
Stonefly- My house is all electric. I do have a coal stoker stove that I have just fired up this past Friday. No monoxide issues to deal with.
Bliss- No lead issues and I dont like soda. I have cut back on my coffee intake and stopped drinking beer till I get this figured out. I have been diagnosed with Epstein Barr - chronic fatigue as a last resort. This is the catch all if the doctors cant figure out what is really going on.
LoggerMike got me thinking about MOLD.
The reason I think the mold is on the right track is that when I picked up the 400+ boxes from grandpas estate. These where idle for 4-5 years with foundation drawn. 3 years ago I started cleaning these up and shortly after I had my first episode. I did not realize at the time that mold may be involved. Hence the chronic fatigue diagnoses.
I have been good till this last episode and put together a timeline to include the first incident. You see this past August-September I pulled some more boxes out of storage and started cleaning these up.
October I started to come down with a repeat of the chronic fatigue symptoms. I did not put the first and second together until I had included the Mold.
Mold I think is the key to both episodes and fits the time line. Hopefully the docs can fix me now. I still have plenty of tests to go through and will give you all an update as this unfolds. I recommend that if you all clean up boxes wearing dust masks at a minimum.
Thanks all,
I have a close friend that was diagnosed with lyme disease a couple of months ago. Had some of your symptoms. Just got word today that they changed the diagnoses to ALS.
Regards, Barry
A friend of mine with several thousand hives told me that some years back, the crew that was cleaning out moldy deadouts started coughing and feeling bad. They thought it was the mold so started wearing dust filter masks.
You will notice when cleaning deadouts, there are several colors/types of mold.As you scrape you can see the spores forming a small cloud .
This may not be your specific health issue, but it is wise to at least wear a dust mask. (I cant stand respirators)
Best of luck to you.
Barry, I am sooooo sorry to hear about your friend with ALS. A colleague of mine was diagnosed with that 5 years ago, and he passed away earlier this month. There is nothing they can do for it. He was only 60.

Good news! It looks like the mold issue is real. I told the doctors about the mold connection. She had me go in for a sputum test and a chest cat scan. Turns out I had a major infection in my nasal and chest/lungs caused by mold. After 3 weeks of cipro @ 500mg twice a day I Feel like new. I hope that the antibiotic did its job and killed the infection so it will not grow back. I would like to thank you all for your help and especially logger mike for bringing up the mold connection. I would have never put that together.
Mold is a real issue. One I would have never considered. Make sure you use proper protection while cleaning up boxes.
Thanks again to all,
Hal Mack
Hal, thanks for the update, and congratulations on the good news! Hope the treatments take/took care of it for you.
This is a good heads-up for us to wear some type of respirator when we clean moldy hives in the future.

In 2005 John Doe Amsterdam launched the brand From The Supermarket. From The Supermarket is a no-nonsense brand, it doesn't pretend to be anything more: it's a good and honest product packed in a stylish and contemporary design. The attractiveness of the products is based on their quality and fresh appearance.
The first of a range of products was Water From The Supermarket; it enjoyed national and international popularity.
Soon we extending with new products like T-shirt From The Supermarket, Juice From The Supermarket all had the same promise: back to the basics.
The From The Supermarket products got the ball rolling. We thought, you know what, let's challenge ourselves. Let's make the most basic phone ever.
We have many years of experience working for telecom companies. Our strengths, our skills, our experience and our unique perspective will see us through this challenge.
We've always wondered why most affordable phone looks so dull and boring.
All cell phones are great high-tech product we like to use every day. Why not spend more time in designing. It's the things we don't see that are the most essential to creating a great design. A great design is a present.Why not make yourself happy with a present everyday in your pocket.
When we started designing our phone the smart phone market grew impressive. Mobile phones are more than just convenient communication tools: They allow you to sync with the calendar on your PC, dial a number by the sound of your voice, look up breaking news on the Internet, take photos, play games, send text messages, listen to music, and more.
But not everybody wants to be in contact all the time. And sifting through the sea of features and cool extra aspects can be difficult to just do what you want do with a phone to make a call. For those needing a break break from today's technology , John's Phone is ideal. True, you won't get your email or text messages, you won't be able to find out where you are, there is no gps, or play the latest games… but you know what? It feels good to go without sometimes.

This guest post from Alison is part of the "reader stories" feature at Get Rich Slowly. Some stories contain general advice; others are examples of how a GRS reader achieved financial success — or failure. These stories feature folks from all levels of financial maturity and with all sorts of incomes. This is one of the best reader stories I've ever featured.
I'm a graduate of the George Washington University, a school now known as the most expensive in the country. But when I graduated, my $160,000 retail education cost me about $4,000. I walked away with about $9,000 in student loans and a check for over $5,000 from surplus tuition payments from my senior year. Plus, I'd earned enough scholarship money to pay for graduate school. Twice.
How'd I do it? Let me tell you about how to make the most of scholarships for fun and profit.
Turning Bad Luck to Good
My parents aren't rich. When I decided to attend a private, out-of-state, expensive university, they made it clear that I had about a year to figure out how to pay for it myself. After that, they were cutting me off. After briefly considering selling an ovary, I decided to first try my luck with winning scholarship money.
I had a pretty terrible time applying to outside scholarships during high school. I was rejected by more than half a dozen despite good grades and plentiful extracurricular activities. I missed taking the National Merit Scholarship test due to surgery. I even applied to a scholarship limited to people from my medium-sized Southern town just to cover books. Only one other person applied and I still lost!
When I started at George Washington University, I had one scholarship for half of my tuition for joining the honors program. But I still needed $25,000 to cover for the rest of my tuition and room-and-board.
There were several factors that reversed my crappy luck.
- For one, I put more time into my applications during college, preparing far in advance of any deadline.
- It also helped that I had a clearer field. Almost everyone in my high school scrounged desperately for any extra scholarships they could find. However, in college everyone seemed to busy to bother. Less competition meant that it was easier to stand out.
Still, over the course of going through the application process (repeatedly), and later sitting on scholarship nomination committees, I collected some tips that will make it easier for almost anyone to win more scholarship money. I graduated nearly seven years ago, but I believe that most of this information still applies. In the current economic climate, this can be the difference between shouldering crushing debt and being able to plan for your future immediately. I used my $5,000 in surplus tuition as a down payment on my first house.
Apply to any scholarship that you qualify for (even if it's for only $100)
GWU was nice enough to slip a letter in my student mailbox whenever the folks in the student scholarship office found one that fit me. I applied to each one, and to my surprise I won. Every. Single. One. A $200 prize led to a $1000 scholarship, which led to one for $8000, then another one for $15,000. Some of them were even retroactive and helped cover tuition from the previous year.
Almost every scholarship you apply for will have a slot for you to list scholarships you've already won. Being able to write something in that slot always seemed to move my application magically to the top of the stack. Remember that scholarship organizations get thousands of applications. Indicating that you've passed another organization's vetting process never hurts.
Take advantage of your school's writing center
Your essay is the most important part of your application. This is your one opportunity to rise above the other applicants and, if necessary, explain gaps in your record, such as a sudden, temporary withdrawal or less than perfect grades one semester.
This is where finishing a scholarship application early will really pay off. The graduate students at GWU's writing center really made the difference between me finding money and my application going in the trash. They helped me find the right tone, organize myself, and would look over my application to make sure that I had everything filled out correctly. They even helped me develop a standard essay that, with a little tweaking, could be used for almost any application. In the end, I received help that literally can be valued in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Use your background to your advantage
It's not fair, but sometimes it's belonging to certain groups that will get you money. It certainly didn't hurt that I was a Hispanic female Computer Science major. There were a total of three Hispanic female Engineering students in my entire University, which makes it easy to stand out. I have mixed feelings about applying for scholarships using my ethnic background and gender ("Did I win because I'm awesome, or because I checked the box next to 'H'?"), but I used whatever advantage I had in order to attain the future I envisioned for myself.
Don't fret if you don't have an exotic ethnicity. There are plenty of other ways to point out your worthiness as a candidate:
- Have you or your family overcome hardship, economic or situational?
- Are you the first person in your family to go to college?
- Do you have any achievements that you worked hard to acquire, like becoming state pole-vaulting champion, or fighting to change a law in your town, or anything that shows moxie?
- Do you have any physical handicaps, or health obstacles that you've overcome? Can you relate any of that to your educational and aspirational goals? (I used my numerous spinal surgeries to talk about human-machine relationships.)
If you can't find anything in your background that will make you stand out, make your own story. One of the best ways to do this is to help people. I'm not talking about putting in a few hours in a soup kitchen; I'm talking about doing things that make a difference in people's lives. It's even better if you do it creatively. One of my fellow Jack Kent Cooke recipients started an organization to provide luggage to foster children. Most of them were moving their stuff around in flimsy garbage bags and his idea made moving to a new home less traumatic and chaotic for older children.
Otherwise, develop a skill, start a business, or just do something crazy. Just make yourself sound awesome, but believable.
Whatever you do, make your story compelling and do not bore the people reading your application. Again, writing center people will help you with this.
Some majors have it easier than others
Most of the engineering fields have more scholarship opportunities than the
humanities. When in doubt, pick up a second major or a minor in something marketable. For example, a double major in English and Genetics is a standout combination. I had a double major in Computer Science and Japanese with a minor in Fine Arts, which opened up a large range of options.
Caveat: Don't pick something just with scholarship money in mind.
Don't slack on grades
Thought working for every A+ ended in high school? Think again. Many scholarships will pass over applicants with lackluster GPAs. Study hard. Ask for extra credit if you bomb a test. Every point counts.
I managed to qualify for an additional prize on top of my $1,000 National Hispanic Scholarship because my GPA was higher than other winners. This one paid $15,000 each year for my last two years of school.
Look internally for opportunities
Sometimes the best opportunities to find money for school are right at your own back door:
- Become a Resident Assistant and get free housing.
- Take a work-study job.
- Tutor your fanny off.
- Seek out opportunities to take on responsibility in your academic department.
I worked as a research assistant in a labor-starved Electrical Engineering department and got a paycheck and free credit hours. I started at my university with enough credit hours to qualify as a Computer Science teaching assistant by my senior year. I taught lab sections and got even more free tuition and an even nicer paycheck.
J.D.'s note: Yes, yes, yes. A thousand times yes. My mind goes numb listening to all of the hand-wringing about how to pay for college. How did I pay for college? How did Kris pay for college? Just like Alison, we sought out scholarships. We worked as Resident Assistants. And we found whatever jobs we could. I graduated with no student loans, and Kris was able to pay hers off in just a couple of years. But scholarships were the key. Want to save hundreds of thousands of dollars? Encourage your children academically, and help them apply for scholarships.

The guard said, "If anyone can tell me with absolute certainty the color of his own hat, you may all go free. However, under no circumstances may you communicate the color of anyone else's hat."
He first asked Albert. Albert is a very honest and intelligent (ie perfectly rational) person, but he was dumbfounded. "I don't know", he said, "there's no way of knowing."
He then asked Barry. Barry was equally intelligent and rational, but he also could not say.
The guard said, "I regret that I have to execute you three, but seeing as Carl is blind, he's not going to know. You have failed."
But Carl piped up and said, "But I do know the color of my hat."
What is the color of Carl's hat, and how did he know?

| 9°C Belfast
A planned 48-hour strike by London Underground workers in a row over ticket office closures has been called off after a last-minute deal was agreed.
Members of the RMT and TSSA unions were due to walk out at 9pm tonight following a two day stoppage last week which caused travel chaos in the capital.
RMT general secretary Bob Crow said unions had received proposals that halted implementation of job cuts, so that discussions can be held "away from the pressure cooker".
The unions are campaigning against controversial plans to close all 260 Tube ticket offices with the loss of 950 jobs.
Mr Crow said: "After two days of intensive and detailed discussions through the offices of Acas we have now received proposals that halt the implementation of the job cuts which gives us the opportunity to discuss all of the issues away from the pressure cooker.
"We now have a golden opportunity to look again in detail at all of the concerns we have raised about the impact of the cuts on our members and the services that they provide to Londoners. That is exactly what we have been calling for throughout this dispute.
"RMT is happy to discuss any issues with LU through the machinery of negotiation and we are glad that we have now got back to where we should have been right at the start of this process.
"It is unfortunate that we were forced and provoked into a dispute that we never wanted and we are now in a position to move on with the clear understanding that our action is suspended but if there is any further attempt to impose change from above the action will go back on."
A TSSA spokesman said: "We have now agreed a process where all our serious concerns over safety and job losses will be seriously addressed through the normal channels.
"We are obviously pleased that we have agreed this process."
John Woods, deputy chief conciliator at Acas, said: "We welcome the news that the proposed industrial action has been withdrawn. We want to thank all the parties involved for their hard work and commitment over 10 days of intensive talks with Acas."
The Federation of Small Businesses estimated that last week's action cost small firms in the capital £600 million in lost working hours, business and productivity.
LU managing director Mike Brown said: "We welcome the constructive talks at Acas today and await confirmation from the RMT and TSSA that their strike action is suspended.
"We have always said that we want the unions to engage fully with us, to help shape our proposals for the future of the Tube.
"The hard work of both the LU and union negotiating teams and the progress we have made at Acas over the last few days means we can now do that without further unnecessary disruption to Londoners."
LU repeated that it planned to have staff based in ticket halls, on gate lines and on platforms rather than in ticket offices, adding that changes would be implemented without compulsory redundancies.
The Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, said: "I'm pleased the TSSA and the RMT have agreed to call off their planned strike following talks with Transport for London. It means further unnecessary disruption to London and Londoners has been averted.
"TfL's negotiators have been ready since November to discuss the detail around ticket office closures and wider modernisation of the Tube. It's welcome news that the unions appear to recognise that, and will return to full and substantive discussions with TfL between now and the end of the consultation period in early April.
"Modernisation is essential if we are to properly serve the millions of Londoners who rely on the Tube every day, and who expect a bigger, better service that offers value for money whilst protecting future investment.
"It is essential that our hard-working and dedicated staff, who are vital to the delivery of that vision, understand the changes we are proposing.
"Sitting down to discuss those proposals, free from the prospect of strike action, was always the only sensible way forward. I'm grateful to TfL's negotiating team and pleased the unions agree this is the right way forward."
Val Shawcross, leader of the Labour group on the London Assembly, said: "We now need the Mayor to show some real leadership and launch a full public consultation on his proposed cuts to ticket offices and station staffing levels.
"There are some interesting ideas in TfL's plans and modernisation is needed, but Londoners should be given the chance to have their say and improve them."
In a letter to RMT members, Bob Crow said LU had agreed to a station-by-station review of ticket office closures which could result in some staying open.
LU will not implement its proposals while further consultations are held until April 4, said the union.
"During this period of discussion, London Underground would put on hold all voluntary severance applications received and not request any new applications, and would also remove from its e-Zone all learning material associated with its Fit For The Future - Stations proposals.
"The trades unions would agree to enter into detailed discussion in respect of London Underground's Fit For The Future - Stations proposals. It is acknowledged that as a result of these discussions with the trades unions, the proposals could be subject to change.
"During the above consultation period, London Underground would agree to discuss, amongst other things, a station-by-station review, including ticket office closures, which could result in some ticket offices remaining open, the proposed methods for stations' job selection, proposed job roles and proposed stations categorisation for Fit For The Future - Stations.
"This is what we were asking for all along and thanks to the support and solidarity you have shown, sense has finally prevailed. Nevertheless we remain firmly against these cuts, which we will continue to resist in our discussions with management," said Mr Crow.

Mississippi John Hurt is certainly renowned for his blues songs, whether tales of murder like Stack O'Lee and Frankie or the tongue-in-cheek Candy Man Blues, yet it is his gospel songs that may more accurately reflect the heart of the man himself; gentle yet powerful, simple yet substantial.
In this lesson Tom Feldmann takes you step by step through Mississippi John Hurt's most celebrated and inspiring gospel songs in the keys of G, C, D and E. Whether beginner or intermediate you will learn to pick in the distinctive "Hurt" style and build a large repertoire of classic gospel country blues.
A detailed tab/music booklet is included as a PDF file on the DVD. In addition the original old recordings of all the tunes are included.
Titles include: Do Lord Remember Me, Here I Am Oh Lord Send Me, Blind Man Sit In The Way And Cried, Since I've Laid My Burden Down, Weeping and Wailing, Blessed Be The Name, Praying On The Old Camp Ground, Nearer My God To Thee, Beulah Land and Oh Mary Don't You Weep
104 minutes - Level 2 - Detailed tab/music PDF file on the DVD
Review: There's something transcendent about Mississippi John Hurt's music. The simplicity, power, and gentle precision of his style, whether playing gospel classics, such as "Do Lord Remember Me" or murder ballads like "Stack O' Lee," are unparalleled in the blues archives. Though Hurt may be better known for his blues than his gospel, it's really quite difficult to separate the two; his blues are infused with gospel and his gospel infected with blues. Hurt had his own very personal style and it permeated all the music he played. In the opening moments of this instructional DVD, Tom Feldmann describes his own experience upon first listening to John Hurt. Having previously immersed himself in the grittier styles of Lightning Hopkins, John Lee Hooker, and Muddy Waters, the music of John Hurt offered Feldmann a new vista on the blues. Mississippi John Hurt's music, Feldmann notes, is perfect for the novice fingerstyle guitarist. But the truth is these humble guitar pieces would bring joy to pickers on any level of expertise. It's just great music and great fun to play. And Feldmann, a gentle guide whose personality and approach reflect his subject, has that style down. He takes you step by step through the gospel classics "Do Lord Remember Me,""Since I Laid My Burden Down,""Nearer My God to Thee," the powerful "Mary Don't You Weep," and many others, all in the familiar keys of G, C, E, and D. There are nine songs altogether. Two added and absolutely essential features to the DVD are a PDF of all the tabs and the original recordings of the songs. The "Gospel Guitar of Mississippi John Hurt" is another superior product from Stefan Grossman's Guitar Workshop. - Chip O'Brien/Minor 7th
Review: If Mississippi John Hurt's gentleman guitar could transplant a warmly pulsing heart-of-gold into cold killers like "Frankie" and "Stack 0' Lee," just think what its calming charm could do with divine inspiration? If that most humble of blues power worked for the Lord, the undertow from those trademark pick-and-roll moves tugging along more heavenly subject matter instead? Imagine the softest of angel wings (disguised as waltzing C chords) whisking "Weeping And Wailing" or a kindly bass bump shepherding "Blessed Be The Name" with laid back urgency. "Blind Man Sit In The Way And Cried" attains its grace through the most modest of means, playing impressive hopscotch across the strings with only a G chord. Fabulous. So by teaching the technical how-to behind The Gospel Guitar of Mississippi John Hurt, Tom Feldmann, essentially, also ends up teaching the Zen of fingerpicking. That's why the chapel chug of "Oh Mary Don't You Weep" is as much an inner-peacemaker as is the drone of "Do Lord Remember Me" singing every syllable. A tab/ music/lyric booklet, slow-motion split-screen views of left and right hand action and all ten original Hurt recordings help pave the road to six-string enlightenment that'll settle the soul, but stir the feet. - Dennis Rozanski/Blues Rag
