The Cowlix: New Basement, No Bass-ment
Current and former Cowlix, 1993. From left: Gretchen Schaefer, Ken Reynolds, Steve Chapman, Jeri Chapman, Marcia Goldenberg, Doug Hubley. Polaroid (not Instagram) photo by Jeff Stanton.
In November 1989, just about eight years after we first met him, bassist Steve Chapman left our band.
Or he could have said that the band left him.
Drummer Ken Reynolds and I had started working with Steve in 1981, when he showed up just in time to rescue our tottering Fashion Jungle. The FJ went on to generate a respectable local buzz with its sharp-edged, romantic original music through the 1980s.
But by the end of that decade, the edge was dulling and creative fatigue setting in. We responded with a turn toward classic country and other rootsy forms. At first it was almost frivolous, just a caprice; but I love old country music. Once in, I wanted to go deeper. (Still do.)
So by that November we were calling ourselves the Cowlix, and the FJ trio had expanded to a quintet. Rhythm guitarist Gretchen Schaefer, my partner, joined during spring 1989. Singer Marcia Goldenberg came on board just weeks before we ended our musical association with Steve.

That November night the five of us convened at the little house that Gretchen and I had just bought on the outskirts of Portland. (At last, after all those years — a basement of our own!) For Marcia, it must have been strange to be so new on the scene and see so much history being unpacked. That baggage made the meeting tough, with plenty of hurt to go around. (But we have remained good friends with Steve and even play music with him from time to time.)
Much was said that night, but the bones of contention boiled down to two: Steve wasn't enjoying the music, and couldn't rehearse as often as we felt necessary.
So there we were. Steve is a really good musician and we felt that loss. Yet sometimes you respond like John Cleese's Holy Grail knight whose limbs keep getting lopped off: Losing a member can have a bracing effect, up to a point. Though we auditioned bassists for the next year (a series of adventures worth a post of their own), we never let basslessness hold us back.
Just the opposite, in fact. Necessity being the mother of invention, or at least the mother of playing the hand you're dealt, we set out to own our bassless sound. We branded it a virtue and never apologized for it. (And never mentioned it again after Gretchen started playing bass, in 1992.)
From a contrarian standpoint, the timing was good. Commercial music in general and country in particular — remember the "hat acts"? — were getting nothing but slicker and shinier. We, on the other hand, mustered up a big rough instrumental sound driven by Ken's powerhouse drumming and Gretchen's straight-on strumming. I wove my guitar into the gaps, floating between bass-ish and lead parts on a miasma of digital delay.

Then there was Marcia. I learned about her through our mutual friend Suzanne Murphy — during the course of an interview, ironically, for a story I was doing about the Downtown Lounge, a scene that had inspired the FJ.
Marcia brought a lot of energy, a strong voice with a retro country feel and a backlog of good material she was eager to try. After the Fashion Jungle, where a single lead voice and minimal supporting parts was the order of the day, I welcomed the chance to do two-part through-harmonies.
With Steve, we had already put together a country song portfolio that, going thin and wide rather than deep and focused, represented Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, Willie Nelson, the Everly Brothers, Ian Tyson and others. Now we dug a little deeper.

We picked up songs by Bill Monroe and Lefty Frizzell, and more by Hank, the Everlys and Cash. Marcia's contributions included the Patsy Cline hit "Seven Lonely Days" and Billy Walker's excellent "Ancient History."
We revived a few from Ken's and my old band the Mirrors — notably classics received third-hand via Gram Parsons like "We'll Sweep Out the Ashes" and "That's All It Took," as well as Parsons' cool adaptation of the R&B song "You Don't Miss Your Water" (which popped up for a third time in the early repertoire of Gretchen's and my current band, Day for Night. You can't keep a good song and well-learned accordion part down.)
An early Cowlix song list in Gretchen's handwriting. "P.O.H.M." is "Poor Old Heartsick Me."
We also took a swing at the Louvin Brothers, those paragons of vocal harmony and sibling disharmony, who were so influential on later musicians like Parsons. During this phase I walked into the sainted record store Amadeus Music, on Fore Street in Portland, and grandly announced, "I want to buy the entire Louvin Brothers catalog."
They were able to come up with two LP compilations. We learned three songs by Charlie and Ira and thought we were pretty cool. (Dilettantes! Having pretty much mined out the Louvins' secular catalog, Day for Night secretly wishes we were religious so we could take on their gospel work. "Satan is real . . .")
Classic country was the focus, but stylistic promiscuity is hard to shake off and we started looting other genres almost from the start. Some cozied up easily with country music — folk-dance tunes, for example. My accordion playing had become somewhat presentable, and we used it on a few folk instrumentals from Québec (and later Poland, Mexico and Finland).
Covering Maine music as a journalist had introduced me to a broad range of folk styles, which taught me how important sheer danceability was to musical forms other than rock. I became preoccupied with giving audiences dance music — probably a reaction against the FJ, which had always had a hard time getting people onto the floor. These two-beats and waltzes filled that bill nicely.
Half the Cowlix and all of the future Day for Night, circa 1990. Hubley Archives.
A few rock songs made it into the mix too, chosen carefully to sound good despite the lack of bass. For instance, Them's "Here Comes the Night," whose two-beat sections sounded good with my Luther Perkins boom-chick guitar; and the Beatles' "There's a Place," which had a nice harmony. Our biggest stretch was "Around My Heart," by X, a band with whom we felt a strange affinity. We sounded punkish enough and had a big enough beat to make it work.
In short, we sounded like nobody else at a time when country music was enjoying one of its periodic boomlets. Greater Portland was engulfed in an Americana wave at the time, and our peers were bands like Cattle Call, Diesel Doug and the Long Haul Truckers, the Piners and Slaid Cleaves' Moxie Men. If each had a distinctive niche, none was more distinctive than ours.
In those early days of the Cowlix, a band that would last until 1994, I felt the same kind of missionary zeal that had been so energizing at the launch of the FJ. Dance music! Good country, not schlock à la the Mirrors! The bass-free sound! The conceptual rigor was shaky, but the excitement was real.
And we knew we were on the right track, because people kept giving us work.

This is an interesting story. Iran hanged a Billionaire for committing fraud by making a false statement on a loan application. Compare that to the Wallstreet banksters who committed massive crimes that almost collapsed the economy creating which could have created a worldwide depression and not one of them is even prosecuted and they get pay raises.

The Answer to what? Ah yes..follow the money trail...if you had read the article you posted, the opperative quote is ""I had not been informed about execution of my client," Riahi said. "All the assets of my client are at the disposal of the prosecutor's office."
LOL...vast corruptions are systemic within Islamic countries as well, and of course, authorities can actually kill you and take all the ill-gotten b***y for themselves.
No, Ahmadinejad's populist government is. High-ranking clerics in Iran are a rotten corrupted elite. Hanging somebody for fraud on a loan application is a bit extreme, though. He must have pissed somebody off for something else. Even Al Capone was done for tax evasion, after all.
Can anyone name a billionaire who went to jail in America? Iran hanged him for fraud and is an appropriate penalty. The American banksters committed massive fraud and didn't even get a ticket. China also has shot bankers. What is it with America? A billionaire in America is basically above the law and can't be touched.
Don't forget to hang his employees, in fact all employees, everybody in the government, and everybody in the "legal" system and every capitalist. Then we would get a good portion of the thieves.

You'd also be killing the majority of talented and productive people in society. Not too many productive men I've ever met that didn't have a capitalist spirit.
This is the thing that I am quickly becoming more aware of as total truth at the core of our rulers, the art of deception ( THE LIE ) is key to them remaining in power. Capitalist what do you mean ? in communism they equate capitalist with private property. In the supposedly free world today THERE IS NO PRIVATE PROPERTY. The art of the lie, program and dupe!
We are waiting for all the idiots to figure out a bunch of con men have figured out by counterfeiting the money and not being audited they can rule the world. There is nothing else to say on the matter and until the dumb herd can figure it out they have devised a plan to rob and steal the entire earth and all the rest of us are stuck here to sit it out.
House MD the productive are being completely robbed by the non productive, that is what socialism communism is at it's core. Just look at Tesla, he had over 700 patents and died penny less because he would not succumb to the wishes of the non producers running this counterfeiting con game.
I'll be it they are very smart and shrewd but exist off the fruits of the labors of all the rest of us. Your middle segment of society are your real producers and that is why these dictatorships fail in the end because the real supports of the society throw the towel in getting tired of being stripped by the upper and lower rungs of society.
America the republic went bankrupt over 80 years ago now the ruling elite class who received the old American republic are here to come get the land for our fraudulent debts. 9/11 was a coup to try and pull this off, the criminal upper class has not been prosecuted because it is their job to loot and finish America off. They work for the real rulers and are just carrying out the plan!
Our governing body is being replaced with their gangsters across the board so they can try and continue to implement UN 21 and strip all of our property.
If you have any complaints with this system you file them with England and the CITY!

THI has been working with "Desmos" since 2014. Last year it fully funded 5 interns working for 5 nonprofits for one year helping them build capacity and launch new services for their beneficiaries.
THI is working with "Ithaca Laundry" offering a mobile laundry service for the homeless in 5 locations across Athens.
THI was among the first donors to support the operations of the first ever hospice in Greece called "Galillee". Through this grant, terminally ill patients in Attika receive access to hospice care and a paradigm is being established in the country.
THI was one of the first donors supporting the operations of the "GivMed" platform. An easy to use application allowing the donation of drugs from individuals to non-profits that need them, that would otherwise be disposed.
THI is a supporter of "Higgs". The country's only acceleration program designed and offered for small-scale nonprofits looking to scale their impact.
Working with "Symplefsi", a network of volunteers visiting remote islands with their boats offering much-needed assistance to the local populations, THI built a new prefabricated teaching class for the public school of the remote island of Agathonisi.
THI is supporting "ELPIDA Youth" providing children fighting cancer with therapeutic interventions during their summer camp holidays.
For 5 consecutive years, THI has been a supporter of the "Together for Children" association. An umbrella organization that supports over 30,000 children each year struggling with poverty, abuse, chronic diseases, and various disabilities.
THI is supporting the work of the "HOME Project" in Athens. The "HOME Project" is a unifying initiative set up to address the needs of refugees and refugee children in particular who have arrived in Greece alone.
THI is supporting the "Collaborative Centre for Clinical Epidemiology and Outcomes Research – CLEO" on its fght against hospital acquired diseases found in Greek public hospitals.
THI was the sole sponsor to "ELIZA's" Athens seminar targeting medical professionals interfering with children who are either affected or at risk of being sexually harassed or otherwise abused.
Muscular Dystrophy Association Hellas (MDA Hellas) provides vital services to thousands of people in Greece suffering from 47 rare neuromuscular disorders. THI's grant fully funds the operations of the organization in Thessaloniki.
8,000 individuals have been supported (4,800 children and 3,200 adults) from 500 families with 728,520 meals.
THI was the first organization to help "METAdrasi" launch its first ever unit for unaccompanied minors in the island of Lesvos. In 2018 it repeated a donation towards the same cause helping the organization provide a shelter and support to the children who fled war zones.
The Cardio Surgery Department of the University Hospital of Heraklion had all of the necessary equipment for surgeries, but lacked the staff. Before THI made a grant to the Cardio Surgery Department, patients requiring cardio surgeries needed to travel to Athens from Crete. The Department is now able to perform surgeries on a monthly basis.
For a second year in a row, THI is helping 11 athletes from Greece and Cyprus to prepare for the Tokyo 2020 Games.

The earliest record we have of pearls as precious objects are artifacts from Mesopotamia dated to around 2300 B.C.
Until about 100 years ago, all pearl jewelry was made up of natural pearls (no intervention by man).
Kokichi Mikimoto is credited as the first man to create a cultured (or cultivated) pearl. In 1878, he began to methodically test ways to develop these gemstones in his own oyster beds.
The most common types of pearls are freshwater, Akoya, white south sea, golden south sea, tahitian and conch.
Akoya pearls are mainly grown in Japan and China using the Pinctada fucata oyster. These pearls have a consistent size and shape, with hues including rose, silver/white, cream, gold and grey/blue.
Pearl oysters are also used for their shell (known as mother-of-pearl) and their meat.
Freshwater pearls are generally more irregular in shape, and more varied in color than saltwater pearls. They are found in mussels or oysters in rivers, lakes or ponds.
They are formed in lakes, rivers and other freshwater bodies. Unlike Akoyas, this pearl type is produced in mussels (the most common type being the hypriopsis Cumingi) as opposed to oysters.
La Peregrina (Spanish for 'the incomparable') is one of the most famous pearls in the world. The 500-year-old pearl is pear-shaped and the size of a large pigeon's egg.
There is not a universal grading system for pearls, however many jewelers utilize the AA – A System. This system grades pearls on a scale with AAA representing virtually flawless pearls of the highest quality, AA which have a surface 75% free of defects, a very high luster and a thick nacre and finally A which is the lowest jewelry grade pearl classification, with a lower luster and more than 25% of its surface area reflecting defects.
According to a famous legend, Cleopatra wanted to prove to Mark Anthony that she could host the most expensive dinner in history. She instructed her servants to bring her potent vinegar and then dropped one of her pearl earrings (one of the world's largest) into the vinegar, dissolving it. She continued to drink what can be dubbed as the world's most expensive cocktail.
Conch pearls are unique in that they are not "cultured" or formed by nature. Usually found as a by-product when harvesting conch meat, they are formed by concentric layers of fibrous calcium and found in the Queen Conch which lives primarily in the Caribbean.
Tahitian pearls are cultivated in black lipped oysters, also known as the pinctada margaritifera cumingi species, creating a natural charcoal – black coloring.
South Sea pearls are grown in the warm waters of Australia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Myanmar and Thailand and come in hues of white, silver or gold.
Departing from traditional round silhouettes, Baroque pearls are identified by their unique shapes. Most freshwater pearls are baroque, but some saltwater varieties can also take on unique shapes depending on the amount of friction and movement during their creation.

What is the message of desiderata?
Victor Wilmot
His well-known sonnet, Desiderata, is a succinct yet profoundly encouraging exhortation to strive for lofty goals. It tells us to be compassionate to others, accept who they are, and be gentle with ourselves. Ehrmann also encourages us to believe in ourselves and in the way things unfold. These and other themes are discussed below.
The poem begins with three sentences expressed as questions: "What does one desire? / A good reputation, many friends, / And enough money to satisfy one's needs." It then goes on to list four more items that might help lead a happy life: beauty, health, wisdom, and courage. The final two lines offer a benediction:" God bless you and keep you safe from harm," followed by the author's name and date.
The poem is especially relevant today when many people struggle with success and failure, compassion and cruelty, happiness and sadness. By reminding us to be grateful for what we have, to seek out positive aspects in our lives and in others, and to not focus on our shortcomings but rather work at improving ourselves, Ehrmann has left us with an inspiring message about pursuing a good life.
Desiderata was written by Max Ehrmann in 1946. He was a successful American poet, essayist, and lyricist who lived in New York City. His works include poems, songs, essays, and orations.
What is the theme of desiderata?
What are the values understood in the poem Desiderata?
Is Desiderata a literary piece?
What is the meaning of Desiderata by Max Ehrmann?
What does Desiderata try to imply?
The focus of the poem Desiderata is the real lifestyle, which includes loving oneself, being loyal to oneself, appreciating one's job, being dignified and aggressive without being insulting to others. It also includes having courage, hope and humility.
The poem was written by Max Ehrmann in 1919 when he was 19 years old. He originally wrote it as a tribute to his mother but soon realized that it could be used as a guide for anyone trying to find happiness in this life.
Here are some lines from the beginning of the poem: "Today I shall try to have a happy day. I will enjoy myself more, smile at everyone, be kind to those who suffer, help people who need help, do something useful with my time. That should make me happy forever."
Max Ehrmann succeeded in making everyone happy just by doing these things every day!
Although he died at age 32 due to tuberculosis, he left behind many poems that still ring true today. His work has been adopted into many languages worldwide and even has its own journal called "Ehrman's Poetry".
One of our teachers recently told us about another famous poet named Emily Dickinson who lived in Massachusetts.
Max Ehrmann's didactic poetry (morally instructive piece) Desiderata (Latin for "desired things"), written in 1927, gives a rule for life that emphasizes tolerance, inclusiveness, and optimism. The poem is full with thoughtful words and compassionate advice. It contains many values that we should try to incorporate in our daily lives.
Here are some of the values found in Desiderata: faith, hope, and charity. These three words describe an important part of Christianity (and other religions too). Faith believes that God exists and has a purpose for our lives. Hope looks forward to a future day when Jesus will return and redeem us from our sins. Charity means love. We can only show this value by treating others with respect and giving back to those in need.
The poem also mentions enjoyment more than once. Happiness is something that comes from within us; therefore, we must look within ourselves to find it. But the poem also says that we should enjoy things around us, especially the people in our lives. If we can't find joy anywhere else, at least we can find it in the people we love.
This means that we should try to make others feel good about themselves even if they don't do anything wrong.
"Desiderata," which means "things sought" in Latin, is a well-known prose poem composed in the early 1920s. Ehrmann registered the work in 1927, but handed away copies without copyright a few years later, forfeiting his US copyright. It was first published in 1963 in Max Ehrmann's only book of poems, which was posthumously released.
Ehrmann wrote Desiderata during his study of philosophy at the University of Zurich. The text itself consists of ten short sentences, each beginning with the word "desire". In order to make sure that everyone can understand it, Ehrmann printed the poem in small typeface.
Even though it is a short poem, it has had a huge influence on many people worldwide. Some have even called it the "bible of the counterculture". Today, "Desiderata" is included in most high school and college curriculum books about important writers from around the world.
Have a look at some of the famous quotes by Ehrmann:
"My dear daughter, don't worry about life. Life will worry about you when you start to worry about life.
"A woman must have money and status to be successful, so she can buy things to make herself feel better about not having love.
Desiderata is a plural noun with the single form desideratum, both of which indicate "items desired or required." Many people associate the word "desirability" with Max Ehrmann's renowned poem "Desiderata," written in 1927 and typically referred to without credit or quotation marks. But the word itself was already known before that time.
In its most common interpretation, "Desiderata" is a list of values or goals for the reader to aspire to. It has seven seemingly random sentences that when put together form a coherent whole. The first six sentences are as follows: "Go placidly amid the noise and haste of life; / Plunge deeply into one thing at a time; / Don't be anxious about success - or failure. / Whatever you do, don't worry about what other people think. / And remember the value of every day, because each day is precious."
The last sentence is actually two sentences combined into one: "Remember the value of every day, because each day is precious." That last sentence alone is enough to make up a complete thought, but it also functions as an epigraph (a short quotation used at the beginning of a book, article, movie, etc.) for the entire poem. Thus, "Desiderata" is really a collection of seven thoughts, or statements to live by.
Questions & answers about Insiderata "Desiderata refers to things that are desired or desired. The idea is that they are desired soul and heart attributes. They are independent of fortune, fame, or reputation. The term was first used by J.W. von Goethe in 1785."

1. Life is full of beauty and joy for those who have eyes to see it.
2. People are good at heart.
3. Everyone has something to offer someone else.
4. We must love ourselves before we can love others.
5. Change is the law of life.

BA set to introduce in-flight technology
What Mobile
From the Mobile News website:
British Airways is to introduce mobile phone technology on its business-class only flights between London City Airport and New York JFK.
It is set to be introduced in the autumn with passengers travelling on the twice-daily route able to send and receive text messages and emails during the flight, and access the internet.
The airline may consider the introduction of voice calls if the text messaging service proves successful, but they will not be permitted initially.
Emirates became the first airline to offer mobile technology in March 2008 on a flight between Dubai and Casablanca, before extending the technology to the rest of its fleet.
Budget airline Ryaniar recently said it would begin testing the technology, including voice calls, on at least 10 of its aircraft, with the intention of extending the service to the rest of its fleet.
BMI has also been testing a text message service on its flights between Heathrow and Moscow since last month.

Q: Google Street View is broken with too many markers I am creating a site for mobile phones and displaying a 1000+ markers from a database on Google Maps, however when I drag the street view icon to the map, mobile Safari and mobile Chrome both crash.
If I limit the markers to 10, it works fine.
I don't know what the issue is. Here is my code:
function initialize() {
var myOptions = {
    zoom: 17,
    zoomControl:true,
    mapTypeControl: true,
    streetViewControl: true,
    overviewMapControl: true,
    mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
}
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map-canvas"), myOptions);
getLocation();

var infoWindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow();
google.maps.event.addListener(map, 'click', function() {infoWindow.close();});

<?php
    for($i = 0; $i < count($places); $i++) {
        ?>
        var marker<?=$i?> = new google.maps.Marker({
        position: new google.maps.LatLng(<?=$places[$i]->coordinates?>),
        map: map,
        });

        google.maps.event.addListener(marker<?=$i?>, 'click', function() {
                    infoWindow.setContent("");
                    infoWindow.open(map,marker<?=$i?>);
            map.panTo(marker<?=$i?>.getPosition());
        });
    <?php
    }
?>

function getLocation() {
    if (navigator.geolocation) {
        navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(showPosition, showError, { timeout: 3000, enableHighAccuracy: true, maximumAge: 90000 });
    }
    else {
        alert("Geolocation is not supported by this browser.");
    }
}
function showPosition(position) {
    var currentLocation = new google.maps.LatLng(position.coords.latitude, position.coords.longitude);
    map.setCenter(currentLocation);
    var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
        position: currentLocation,
        map: map
    });
}
function showError(error) {
    alert(error.message);
}
}

A: Clustering your markers can be a solution. And then for example creating a json with php, and load it with javascript.
https://google-maps-utility-library-v3.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/markerclusterer/docs/examples.html
https://developers.google.com/maps/articles/toomanymarkers
This example will show 100 markers on map.
var center = new google.maps.LatLng(37.4419, -122.1419);
var options = {
  'zoom': 13,
  'center': center,
  'mapTypeId': google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};

var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map"), options);

var markers = [];
for (var i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
  var latLng = new google.maps.LatLng(data.photos[i].latitude,
      data.photos[i].longitude);
  var marker = new google.maps.Marker({'position': latLng});
  markers.push(marker);
}
var markerCluster = new MarkerClusterer(map, markers);

hope it helps

· The Kernel– This refers to just one small part that makes Linux. It's not only the main system but also manages the memory, CPU, and peripheral devices. It's actually the lowest level of OS.
· The Bootloader- This the main software that takes care of your machine. To most people, it's the splash screen that pops out and eventually disappears when the system is booting.
· Graphic server– Also known as the x server, it refers to the system that allows graphics to be displayed on your computer.
· The shell– The shell refers to the command processor that allows you to control the computer. Although it initially scared people away from Linux, this is no longer the case. If you have a modern desktop Linux, you don't have to touch the command line.
· Applications– Just like the Mac and the Windows, Linux also provides a variety of high-quality software titles that can be downloaded and installed. A majority of Linux distributions include tools that simplify and centralize application installation. For instance, there is the Ubuntu Linux that has software that can allow you to quickly search and install the apps from one centralized location.
· Desktop environment– This is what the users interact with while using the computer. There are different types of environments including the KDE, XFCE, Unity, Enlightenment, GNOME, and Cinnamon. Each environment has built-in applications such as web browsers, file managers, configuration tools, and games.
Why should you use Linux instead of other operating systems? Why should you bother to learn and use a new operating system when other operating systems such as windows and the Mac works just fine? Well, before moving to Linux you need to ask yourself whether the system that you are using works well or you are constantly dealing with malware, virus, crashes, slowdowns, licensing fees, and expensive repairs.
If you are experiencing any of these and want a system that can help keep your data well then Linux is the best one to choose. Having evolved as one of the most reliable systems with reliability and zero cost, it will provide you with the best solution for your laptop or desktop platform. As compared to other systems it's free. The good thing is that you can install it in as many machines as possible without paying any fee or securing any license for the server. More so, it's also an open software hence the code used to create it is free.
As compared to other operating systems such as the windows server 2012 you will realize that the price of windows can even go up to $1200. Mind you, this is not inclusive of licenses and CALS for other software that you may also need to run such as web server, database, and mail server. When it comes to Linux, everything is free and very easy to install hence you don't have to worry. As matter of fact, if you want to install a complete web server you just need to click or command and you are good to go.
More so, as a system administrator, you will realize that using it is one of the best things that could have happened to you. For instance, you don't have to pester servers anymore. Once you set it well you can even forget about it. However, if at all it needs to be serviced it just requires restarting, reconfiguring, and upgrading.
From zero cost to the server there are a lot of things that will convince you to use this amazing server. Whether you will use it for over 20 years you will never experience any issue with viruses, malware or even unwarranted computer slowdowns. Believe or not, but it's a very stable system. Unless the kernel is updating, it can also go for years without rebooting. This just shows that it's both reliable and stable.
· There is freedom to run it for any purpose.
· There is freedom to study how it functions and alter it to become what you want.
· The freedom to distribute it around so that you can help another person who needs help.
· The freedom to distribute your modified version.
Although there are high chances that you are already using it without knowing if you'd like to install it you only need to pick a popular distributor designed for your laptop or desktop and then try it out. Although there are a variety of distributions available, older distributions are ideal especially if you are a beginner. The good thing is that in case you get stuck, you can always get some help.
Knowing these is very important especially if you want to understand those who came together to develop it. It's, therefore, one of the best-operating systems created by the people for the people. These are also some of the reasons why a large number of people use it.

Tim Neville Full-Steam Ahead for U.S. Senate; George Brauchler, Not So Much
by: Colorado Pols September 3, 2015 at 3:03 PM MDT
State Sen. Tim Neville appears to be committed to running for the U.S. Senate in 2016.
UPDATE: In an interview with Marianne Goodland of the Colorado Statesman, Arapahoe County District Attorney George Brauchler sounds a bit less enthusiastic about a potential Senate run of his own:
But Brauchler also said people shouldn't be surprised if, sometime in the future, they see yard signs supporting his run for another term as district attorney "or something else." He is up for a second term as DA in 2016. The "something else" could be a run for governor in 2018, when Democrat John Hickenlooper will be termed out…
…As to his timeline for making a decision on a Senate bid, Brauchler acknowledged that Labor Day is often an informal deadline for campaign kick-offs for major races. But he said no one is pressuring him into making a decision by then. He cautioned that, if his need to "deliberate over this with my family costs me the ability to make this decision, I'm comfortable with that. This is too big a decision, not just for us but for the community and state.
"I shouldn't get into this race unless my heart is in it. I have to figure out if that's going to happen," he added. [Pols emphasis]
State Sen. Tim Neville (R-Jefferson County) is the big story in Colorado politics this week after news broke yesterday that he is preparing a bid for U.S. Senate in 2016.
Neville is embarking on a statewide "listening tour" for a few weeks before he formally announces his Senate campaign, which can occasionally be a code for "I haven't made up my mind yet." That's not the case here. Neville is privately telling Republicans that he is "in it to win it" for 2016, and is absolutely planning on a full-scale campaign to unseat incumbent Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet.
John Frank of the Denver Post updated his story from yesterday with a Neville interview, and the Jefferson County Republican seemed to indicate that he has made up his mind about running:
"We are doing more listening than speaking," Neville said in an interview Wednesday. "I want to get in touch with the grassroots."
Neville is considered one of the most conservative members in the state Senate. He defeated an incumbent Democrat in a swing seat in 2014 to win the seat. His campaign would appeal to hard-right conservatives and those aligned with the tea party…
…"I do believe he's leaning toward it," said [supporter Mike] Donahue, describing the prospects of a Neville campaign.
Neville sounds more equivocal. "I'm not sure there's a lean," he said laughing. [Pols emphasis]
Neville also told Frank that his plans for U.S. Senate are not contingent on whether or not Arapahoe County District Attorney George Brauchler decides to enter the Republican field. As we wrote yesterday in this space, Neville's apparent commitment to a U.S. Senate run will probably be enough to convince Brauchler to run for re-election as DA instead of seeking higher office in 2016.

It gets tiresome after a while, doesn't it Zappatero?
Rich coming from you, modster.
Jefferson County is more like it. They called him R-Littleton in the Post and while I suppose there might be a scrap of unincorporated Jeffco "Littleton" in his district I'd hardly identify him as "Littleton".

Run, Timmy, Run!
That should make the voters' choice crystal clear between a center-right Democrat and a lunatic fringe Republican gun nut.
Isn't that what you said about Laura Woods vs. Rachel Zenzinger? I don't think you have a clue what voters want.
Progressicat says:
Gessler, 2018! He's what the people want.
We're talking statewide, Modster. Gardner won statewide by imitating a garden variety Main Street conservative against perhaps the most clueless incumbent campaign in Colorado history. I admit I haven't been around for all of them. Timmy would neither have the desire nor the capacity nor the record to go softer and you can bet Bennet's team won't be planning a campaign on Udall's all scolding, all scowling model. I'd hold off on the in your face stuff.
Diogenesdemar says:
Nope. Think Ken Buck's campaign with more Viagra …
… testosterone and bandoliers!!!
Gardner didn't go softer, he just ran a positive campaign. Democrats weren't prepared for Gardner and the smear tactics didn't work.
There is a lesson in Gardner's victory, but not the one Colorado Pols readers think.
We need an eye roll smiley.
MichaelBowman says:
Good one but Bowman's is better.

I think oh Kim Davis supporter that you forgot to mention that Gardner is one of the more gifted liars to grace Colorado's political scene. He is about as moderate as you are tolerant of non-conservative viewpoints. The 2016 election is a presidential election in which the economy has gained jobs for the last 56 months. Do you really think that voters want to go back to the good old days of Republican rule like 2007 when the economy was losing 700,000 jobs a month. Bennet isn't my favorite Democrat but he can hold his own with Neville.

Looking ahead: Tax reform in 2018
Congress has passed tax reform that will take effect in 2018, ushering in some of the most significant tax changes in three decades. Here are some major items in the new bill that impact individual taxpayers.
Reduces income tax brackets. The bill retains seven brackets, but at reduced rates, with the highest tax bracket dropping to 37 percent from 39.6 percent.
Double standard deductions. The standard deduction nearly doubles to $12,000 for single filers and $24,000 for married filing jointly. To help cover the cost, personal exemptions and most additional standard deductions are suspended.
Limits itemized deductions. Many itemized deductions are no longer available, or are now limited. Here are some of the major examples:
Caps state and local tax deductions. State and local tax deductions are limited to $10,000 total for all property, income and sales taxes.
Caps mortgage interest deductions. For new acquisition indebtedness, mortgage interest will be deductible on indebtedness of no more than $750,000. Existing mortgages are unaffected by the new cap as the new limits go into place for acquisition indebtedness after Dec. 14, 2017. The act also suspends the deductibility of interest on home equity debt.
Limit on theft and casualty losses. Now only available for federally declared disaster areas.
No more 2 percent miscellaneous deductions. Most miscellaneous deductions subject to the 2 percent of adjusted gross income threshold are now gone.
Cuts some above-the-line deductions. Moving expense deductions get eliminated except for active-duty military personnel, along with alimony deductions beginning in 2019.
Weakens the alternative minimum tax (AMT). The bill retains the alternative minimum tax but changes the exemption to $109,400 for joint filers and the phaseout threshold to $1 million. The changes mean the AMT will affect far fewer people than before.
Bumps up child tax credit, adds family tax credit. The child tax credit increases to $2,000 from $1,000, with $1,400 of it being refundable even if no tax is owed. The phaseout threshold increases sharply to $400,000 from $110,000 for joint filers, making it available to more taxpayers. Also, dependents ineligible for the child tax credit can qualify for a new $500-per-person family tax credit.
Expands use of 529 education savings plans. Qualified distributions from 529 education savings plans, which are not subject to tax, now include tuition payments for students in K-12 private schools.
Doubles estate tax exemption. Estate taxes will apply to fewer people, with the exemption doubled to $11.2 million ($22.4 million for a married couple).
Reduces pass-through business taxes. Most owners of pass-through entities such as S corporations, partnerships and sole proprietorship will see their income tax lowered with a new 20 percent income reduction calculation.

En physique, et plus particulièrement en mécanique des fluides, un effet de bord est un phénomène d'instabilité au bord près de la paroi. Bien souvent, l'étude des phénomènes se fait en négligeant l'effet de bord, par la forme géométrique du phénomène ou en séparant le cas de la proximité du bord.

D'une manière générale, un effet de bord est l'ensemble des phénomènes qui apparaissent à proximité d'une valeur limite d'un domaine où peut s'appliquer un certain nombre de calculs (paroi ou seuil). Les limites correspondent aux domaines de validité des méthodes de calcul. Les transitions sont progressives, et il n'y a pas d'effet de bord.

Au sens général, le plus souvent évoqué est l'effet de bord lors de l'écoulement d'un fluide , où les frottements sur les parois modifient l'écoulement général. Il existe aussi l'effet de bord thermique où le fluide (liquide ou gazeux) a lui aussi un échange avec les parois.

Georgia Democrat Donor Allegedly Owes $372K in Back Child Support
And now the latest from the Ghetto Democratic Party of Georgia . . .
TMZ reported that former boxing champion Evander Holyfield is "staring down some jail time if he doesn't cough up more than $300k in unpaid child support."
The GA. Dept. of Human Services has gone to court on behalf of Evander's 18-year-old daughter Emani Holyfield ... claiming the former champ hasn't paid a dime of court ordered child support since April 2010, and his tab is now $372,097.40.
The DHS is fed up with the waiting game ... so it's asking a judge to lock up Holyfield and garnish his wages until he antes up the back support.
A search of Federal Elections Commission reports show that Evander Holyfield is a Democrat Party donor. Holyfield made contributions to the Democratic National Committee in year 2000 and year 2001.


Fire ants entering a building around an infrequently used door.
Fire ants are outdoor, soil-dwelling insects. They rarely invade buildings, but when they do, they usually cause problems.
Indoor fire ant invasions happen for two reasons. The first is when foraging workers wander into a building, find a food source, such as pet food or spilled food crumbs, and recruit other workers to this food source. This results in a trail of workers traveling back and forth from the outside nest to the inside food source and a concentration of ants around the food source.
The second cause of indoor fire ant invasions is when an entire colony of fire ants attempts to relocate because of disturbance by flooding, drought, landscaping or other causes. This is less common, but more distressing. In this case, you usually see large numbers of workers carrying their white brood into the house. They may also bring particles of soil inside. These displaced colonies are usually very agitated and will sting aggressively and in large numbers. They have to be controlled quickly and effectively. See Extension Publication 2443, Control Household Insect Pests, Pages 15-16, for more details on how to control and prevent indoor fire ant invasions.

Shrimp is high in Zinc. Zinc boosts male fertility. Eat Shrimp. Specifically, eat this garlic shrimp in coconut lime tomato sauce. The combination of light and creamy coconut milk with tomatoes, garlic, a hint of lime and cilantro…well, it's phenomenal. Light and fresh and fantastic. The sauce is definitely on the saucy side of things so serving this in shallow bowls so the beautiful, warm rice can soak up the wonderful sauciness is a really good idea. Consider yourself warned. Did we mention it's super speedy? That's the great thing about shrimp; you can usually count on it being a pretty quick meal to throw together and I'm sure you never, ever complain about that.
In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil on medium and add the red peppers, cooking until crisp-tender, about 2-3 minutes. Add the sliced green onions, both white and green parts, 1/2 cup of the cilantro, red pepper flakes (if using) and garlic. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the tomatoes, coconut milk and salt to taste (I used about 1 teaspoon). Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes to help develop the flavors and reduce the sauce just slightly.
Add the shrimp and cook for 4-5 minutes until the shrimp are pink and tender (overcooking the shrimp will make them tough so keep a close eye on the mixture).
Stir in the lime juice. Serve immediately over hot, cooked rice garnishing with the remaining cilantro. This makes a soupier-type mixture so deep plates or bowls would be best for serving.

Q: addEventListener in a Chrome extension I'm trying to make a Chrome extension that can toggle whether a div position is fixed or static when another element is clicked.
I am having a problem with addActionListener. This is what I have so far: jsfiddle
Where have I gone wrong?
The id and class I have used in the html section are based on the site I am making the extension for. I am adding an empty div to div.spacer so that I can use it as my toggle button.

A: toggle() will call the function, you want do add it as a listener however. So you want to pass the function as a parameter, like this:
tog.addEventListener("click", toggle, false);

The other problem is that you have a variable named toggle that replaces the function. You have to consider that the function declaration function toggle() {} is essentially the same as var toggle = function() {} - you declare a variable with the name toggle and assign a function to it. You cannot have a "normal" variable with the same name. Rename the variable and all will be fine.

Discovering Sister Greta Norman Towner through Historical Enquiry
By JOL Admin | 27 September 2015
Guest blogger: Avril Fazel, Head of Department, Blackall State School.
During research into Blackall born and past student of Blackall State School, Major Edgar Towner VC MC FRGSA, a student from Blackall State School came across an article describing the return of Lieutenant Edgar Towner and his sister, nurse Greta Towner to their home town of Blackall in 1919.
Sister Greta Norman Towner – date and location unknown. (image shared by family member)
In Blackall today, Edgar Thomas Towner is remembered through the statue "Towner's Call". Ronan Robinson, from Blackall State School wrote a letter to the "Barcoo Independent" in 2008, that saw the community galvanise to see "Towner's Call" erected in 2009. Edgar Towner VC MC and twice mentioned in dispatches is also well documented in the public domain.
But… Who was Sister Greta Norman Towner? What did she do during the First World War? What was her life like after the war? The students knew about Edgar but what about Greta?
Towner's Call – statue to commemorate the life of Greta's brother – Edgar Thomas Towner VC MC FRGSA
Initial research into Greta Towner online revealed her war record and a grainy image with a few words from an article that appeared in 1919 in the Sydney paper, "The Sunday Times". These were the starting point to "Discovering this Sister Greta Towner" through historical enquiry.
Students from Blackall State School with support from Head of Department, Avril Fazel, and Christine Campbell from the Blackall Historical Society began the process of researching and enquiring. Seeking to find valid sources and supporting evidence about Greta Towner's life.
Glencoe and the Towner Family (date unknown)
Research to date has established Sister Greta Norman Towner as being born at "Glencoe" station, Blackall in 1891, she attended Blackall State School and continued her education in Rockhampton. Greta Towner trained as nurse at the Rockhampton Children's Hospital, registering as a Nurse in August 1914 and enlisting in July, 1915. Sister Towner served with the AANS (Australian Army Nursing Service) in Egypt (Heliopolis, Cairo), Lemnos Island from September 1915 during the Gallipoli Campaign and on Sea Transport ships. In 1917 she saw service in England at the Southall Hospital which specialised in amputations and artificial limbs. In March 1917 she arrived in France and was posted to the 8th Stationary Hospital in Rouen. On 27 September 1917 she was posted to the 1 AGH (1st Australian General Hospital) in Rouen and served there for the remainder of the First World War. Sister Towner was officially discharged on 4 July 1919.

Upon her return to Australia, Sister Towner took on pharmacy study at the University of Sydney, emigrating to the United States of America where she married twice and held various positions as nurse in veteran hospitals. Sister Greta passed away in the US in 1961 and shares a gravestone with her second husband, Harry Maloney.

During the enquiry process, Sister Towner's uniform become known to the students of Blackall State School and a five students were able to view it and make connections with Greta Towner through this historically significant object. Similarly, through sharing their research, some Towner relatives offered images and insights into Sister Greta's life to the students to further their research and connection with the past student.
Greta Towner (nee Hurley) – Sister Towner's mother (date and location unknown –
Through the State Library of Queensland's History Pin project as part of their Q ANZAC 100 – Memories for a New Generation project, students are making their own documentary on Sister Towner's life and their connection to her story and the process of 'Discovering Greta'. The video will be published on the "Blackall to Battle and Back" History Pin as part the SLQ Q ANZAC 100 project. They hope their research will see more objects relevant to this ANZAC from their school shared – so more people will come to know her story. The University of Sydney has already shown interest in recording Greta's association with the university through their remembering of the First World War and it is hoped this research will see students of Blackall State School remember Sister Greta Norman Towner in the generations to come.
Enquiries, comments and contributions are most welcome.

Thanks to Pamela Francies and Shirley Watts for sharing the images of Sister Towner, Glencoe and Greta Towner (nee Hurley) and Edgar Towner (Greta's parents). Pam and Shirley, are two of many family members with whom our research has been shared. Both Pam and Shirley are nurses as are generations of the extended Towner family.
Nephews, John and Geoffrey Towner were significant in seeing "Towner's Call" come into being with their time, effort and donations to see Edgar Towner VC MC FRGSA remembered in Blackall.
In 2015, Blackall State School student, Bayley Williams was inspired in part by Edgar Towner's story to apply for and be awarded a position on the Queensland Premier's Anzac Prize Tour. Bayley attended Anzac Day at Gallipoli on the centenary, where he visited the resting places and memorials of three of Blackall's Fallen Comrades and read a eulogy to Major Towner VC MC in France. It was Bayley's research that spurred on students, staff and community to discover more on Greta Towner's story.
Please note that Greta Norman Towner enlisted with the rank of Staff Nurse, however, the image of uniform here relates to her being ranked Sister Greta Towner - the uniform has the two 'pips' indicated this rank that is equivalent to a Lieutenant and matches her war record that sees her afforded the rank of Sister in 1918 as does her medal set.
Correction - the correct spelling of Hurley should be Herley. My apologies.
Narelle & Colin Towner
We found mention of E.T. Towner I imagine Major E T Towner's father who exhibited the best 3 rams in the Gympie "Show" in 1878 in the Mining Gazette. We wonder why he was exhibiting sheep in Gympie if he came from Blackall. I work at the Gympie Show society now and wonder if these Towner's are related to our family. Narelle & Colin Towner. Gympie.

Denis Towner
I am related to Colin & Narelle Towner, Colin's grandfather Alan was a cousin of my father Laurence. We are descended from James Towner who arrived in Sydney in 1839. Edgar Towner is descended from Thomas Towner who arrived in Hobart in 1827 with his mother & sisters. They were the first Towners to settle in Australia. Thomas moved to the Darling Downs and raised a large family in Queensland. Edgar won both the VC & Military Cross in WW1.

Q: App not finding chromecast All of a sudden half of my devices have stopped finding my Chromecasts I'm testing on. I thought it was some code I changed so I decided to make a bare bones implementation that finds the media routes. This implementation only works on my 4.0.4 Toshiba Thrive but not on any other devices. I thought it was my network so I reset the router, when that didn't work I bought a new router but that has also failed. My colleagues have tested the apk and it works on their devices on a different network with different chromecasts. I have factory reset both my chromecasts and verified that all my devices are on the latest version of Google Play Services.

A: The solution I came up with was Factory resetting all of my devices that were not finding the chromecasts. I'm assuming that something got cached in Google Play Services that clearing the cache could not resolve. Since re installing GMS is not an option reformatting was the only option.


Our most likely spot is 5th.. and yes its almost certain Zion will be a Knick.. poor kid.
Primetime Pricey won't know what to do with his hands... a Dukie Knick.
Pricey's true vegan love has competition.
and Kyrie might be there too. and Lance Thomas is there. Duke baby!
The Cavs must not be winning the lottery, Zion declared for the draft.
How is that possible? So many losses this season.
David Griffin publicly said he believes Anthony Davis is open to remaining with the New Orleans Pelicans.
"We have a long successful history with Klutch Sports," said Griffin. "Rich Paul and I have spoke about Anthony. We are both excited about what we could potentially build here."
Griffin is taking over the front office of the Pelicans following a trade request from Davis.
Griffin also said he would prefer to establish whether Davis is all-in or all-out on being with the Pelicans.
Haha, got to admire the optimism. Then again the Brow does seem like the suggestible type.
Also wondering whether his former bosom buddy Boogie will ever be offered $20 mill per season again.
I would have wanted odds of $20 million if you told me Andrew Bogut would be starting a playoff game for the Warriors this year.
That could be his second move. Right after announcing a Derek Fisher/Brian Shaw coaching dream team.
Second greatest comeback this decade. Emeka Okafor still has him beat.
Can I late nominate this?
I think we're ignoring the elephant in the room.


21 – Not just a winning blackjack hand, but also a new record for amount of wins in a season.
69 – Insert dirty joke here, or just add to Miami's already existing record they set last week for most points in a season.
61 – Not just the real single season MLB HR record, according to Giancarlo Michael Stanton, but now the new record for most team goals scored in a Modern NASL season.
2x the fun – Your hometown heroes became the first team in Modern NASL history to win both the Spring and Fall Season Championships.
If you've been following this team the whole season, I mean, what kind of ingrate wouldn't be, then you know that the Spring Season was wrapped up pretty early due to their dominance week after week. They also had that epic run in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup, which was cut short after a loss to FC Cincinnati. The Fall Season didn't get off to a great start though. Miami slipped out of the gates, with two straight losses! That championship hangover grabs you like Pennywise, and must be avoided at all costs. The team fought back from IT getting out of hand, though. They would only lose one more game all season, and tie three others. That was enough to creep back up into the top of the Fall Standings.
As far as the season closer went this past weekend, I can sum up the first half in one sentence: That was a whole lot of nothin'. Miami dominated possession, and neither team had any real chances that made you get up out of your seat. Plus, that rain was no joke!
The second half is where the magic happened. Their performance was "super", if you will. Poku was, by far, the hero of the day. In the 52nd minute Rennella sends him one of the cleanest threw-balls you'll ever see, right down the middle of the field, leaving our Superhero with a one-on-one chance against FC Edmonton's keeper. Poku cut right, and just tapped it in, Chubbs Peterson style. It was a short-lived celebration though, as Miami got caught sleeping, forcing Captain Lahoud to give up a penalty only four minutes later, which also gave FC Edmonton their first-ever goal against Miami. In the 72nd minute, Miami moved the ball up the left flank, to Dylan Mares, who centered it to a running, league leading scorer, Stefan Pinho, who barely nudges the ball back to a wide open Chubbs, I mean Poku, who again, only had to tap it in. At this point, Miami controlled their Fall Season destiny. The score would hold, and Miami would come away as the first team in Modern NASL history to win both Spring and Fall Seasons in the same calendar year.
Next up, Miami, having earned home-field advantage throughout the playoffs, including the final, does indeed play the New York Cosmos in the semi's. Meanwhile, the San Francisco Delta's face off against North Carolina FC. The winners of both those games will play each other in what some people fear might be the final NASL final, depending on what happens with the U.S. Soccer Federation and their distinction of what division is given to the NASL in the coming months. Stay tuned!

EPFO or Employees' Provident Fund Organisation is likely to keep interest rate unchanged at 8.65 per cent on provident fund (PF) deposits for its about 5 crore members for 2017-18, news agency Press Trust of India reported, citing sources. The apex decision-making body of EPFO will meet on February 21 to decide on interest rate for subscribers for 2017-18, the report said. For 2016-17, EPFO subscribers got interest at an 8.65 per cent rate on their deposits, a tad lower than 8.8 per cent in 2015- 16. If EPFO decides to pay an interest rate of 8.65 per cent to subscribers for 2017-18, it will be viewed as positive in a situation where other savings instruments such as bank deposits and PPF fetch much lower interest rates.
The employer and employee typically contribute 12 per cent of basic salary towards EPF. An employee's 12 per cent contribution goes towards the EPF kitty, while 8.33 per cent out of the total 12 per cent of the employer's contribution is invested in EPS or pension scheme. The balance 3.67 per cent is invested in EPF. For the convenience of its 5 crore subscribers, EPFO has on its website prominently displayed the link to check e-passbook. It can be found at the top right corner of the website. Click on the e-passbook link.

Retirement fund body EPFO, which manages your provident fund or PF money, has been coming up with new initiatives for the benefit of about 5 crore subscribers. EPFO manages a corpus of over Rs. 10 lakh crore and receives 1 crore claims every year.
EPFO has introduced a new facility where subscribers can give online request for correction in name, date of birth and other details.
For consolidation of a subscriber's multiple PF accounts, currently EPFO subscribers are required to file separate transfer claims online using UAN. Under the new facility, employees can merge as many as 10 previous accounts with their UAN at one go.
EPFO or Employees' Provident Fund Organisation has smoothened the process for allotment of UAN. "Now, the citizen on going for an employment can submit generated UAN to the employer so that the same UAN will be linked to the member ID allotted to member in that establishment," EPFO said in a notification dated November 21.


Getting fit has been a struggle for me since January 2011. I think when I am approaching 40, my energy is getting a bit low and exercise is the last thing on my mind. I have an on and off relationship with exercise and working out. Sometimes I was so excited to do them everyday and some other times I just dread the thought of doing it.
I really don't want to get on a scale because I will get stressful with the digit. In my mind I always picture me with my ideal weight at 52 kg but I think I can only go as low as 55kg. Loosing that last 5 kg really tough!
I know I should set a goal for my self. In the spirit on my word for this year – Transform—I really need to do something to transform my weight to a better number like 55 kg.
I have about 2 more months till my 40th birthday. So I would really like to challenge myself to drop the kg to 55.
* exercise daily – I think I want to keep my exercise routine simple. So I am going to do Jillian 30 day shred everyday.
Well you should feel really good that you don't look forty- that might be better then being fit.
I have done the 30 shred- it was good but hard for me to maintain everyday.
Good for you in setting goals..it is so much easier when you have something specific you are working towards! I use the 30 day shred on the days I am not working out with my trainer or at taekwondo..it is a great dvd!


At the Grindhouse Junket we were able to grill Hostel 2 director Eli Roth about his big screen adaptation of Stephen Kin's The Cell, which is currently in development.
Question: What's going on with Cell?
Eli: Cell, the writers Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski are writing it. They wrote 1408, Ed Wood, and The People vs. Larry Flint. And now that I'm getting closer to locking picture on Hostel 2, I've been meeting with them more regularly. They're working on the draft.

David Dunn is the NZ-based commentator for Impact Pro Wrestling, Ultimate Championship Wrestling and Southern Pro Wrestling NZ. He is probably my favourite person in NZ wrestling… But truth be told, I don't get out much.
Blair Rhodes ( also a good guy ) is the former commentator for Kiwi Pro Wrestling.
