Regis Philbin to Host Mr. Mature Pageant and Lead Doo Dah Parade
What's Happening in Ocean City, NJ 2/15/17
Ocean City announces today that Regis Philbin will be master of ceremonies for the Mr. Mature America Pageant on April 8.
A veteran of more than five decades of talk shows, game shows and singing performances, Philbin is one of the most likable personalities in the history of television. His quick wit will be a perfect fit for Ocean City's pageant, which mixes self-deprecating humor with nostalgia and talent in a tribute to men ages 55 and older. Philbin will host the fourth annual event and conduct on-stage interviews with contestants.
Earlier in the day, Philbin will serve as grand marshal in the Doo Dah Parade, Ocean City's season-opening celebration of all things humorous.
Still a force at 85, Philbin is a model for the successful Mr. Mature candidate. The pageant includes competition in talent, judge's interview, poise and appearance, and on-stage question. The pageant is accepting applications for contestants. If you are or know a male 55 or older who would like to join the good-natured competition, complete the online application at ocnj.us/mrmature or call Michael Hartman at 609-525-9284 for more information.
The pageant is scheduled for 7 p.m. Saturday, April 8 on the Ocean City Music Pier. The event is the first and only pageant of its kind in the United States. The historic Flanders Hotel returns as a founding sponsor this year. The Flanders will cater meals for contestants and will offer special rates for attendees during the pageant weekend.
Magic Show Sells Out in a Week, Broadway Series Tickets on Sale
What's Happening in Ocean City, NJ 1/8/17
Tickets for a magic show by Philadelphia Eagles player Jon Dorenbos went on sale Feb. 1 and sold out in just a week. His show is just one of the many highly anticipated events coming to Ocean City this season – including everything from the music of the Hooters to the Stunt Dog Experience to the Ocean City Pops orchestra.
Look for a number of exciting new announcements in the coming weeks. In the meantime, get tickets while they last for the summer Broadway Series that combines the exceptional talents of the Ocean City Pops Orchestra, the Ocean City Theatre Company and top theater professionals. Tickets go on sale starting at 9 a.m. Thursday, Feb. 9, for "Fiddler on the Roof" (July 11 to 14) and "Mary Poppins" (August 8 to 11).
Songs like "Sunrise, Sunset," "If I Were a Rich Man" and "Matchmaker, Matchmaker" have made "Fiddler on the Roof" a timeless favorite since it debuted in 1964. Equally popular among audiences of all ages is the musical "Mary Poppins" – with songs like "Spoonful of Sugar," "Chim Chim Cheree" and "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious."
Both shows are at the Bill and Nancy Hughes Performing Arts Center at Ocean City High School (beach block of Sixth Street). "Fiddler on the Roof" will be performed at 7:30 p.m. on July 11, 12 and 14 with a 2 p.m. matinee on July 13. "Mary Poppins" will be performed at 7:30 p.m. on August 8, 9 and 11 with a 2 p.m. matinee on August 10.
Tickets for the shows are $30 for adults, $25 for children (12 and under), and $25 for groups of 20 or more. They are available (starting 9 a.m. Feb. 9) at oceancityvacation.com/boxoffice, by calling 609-399-6111, or in-person at the City Hall Welcome Center or the Roy Gillian Welcome Center on the Route 52 causeway.
Tickets for Jon Dorenbos Magic Show and Southside Johnny on Sale This Week
Ocean City's box office opens on Wednesday (Feb. 1), and one of the most anticipated shows is also one of the most unlikely: a 14-year NFL veteran performing magic.
Philadelphia Eagles long-snapper Jon Dorenbos will share his mind-blowing magic talents in a single show at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, May 13, on the Ocean City Music Pier.
The world discovered Dorenbos during his run to the top of the NBC television competition "America's Got Talent." (See video of his performance in the finals.) He placed third overall in the contest after surviving many elimination rounds.
Dorenbos says magic saved his life, and he has a story to back it up. When he was 12 years old, his father murdered his mother. He openly shares this childhood tragedy with audiences in an inspirational show about rising through adversity, setting goals no matter how high, and planning the necessary steps to achieve those goals.
Hooters, Temptations and Beach Boys to Play Ocean City this Summer
Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Thursday (Jan. 26) for the first wave of shows in the 2017 Summer Concert Series on the Ocean City Music Pier. The series will include the Temptations (June 26), the Hooters (July 17 and 18) and the return of the Beach Boys (August 21 and 22).
The Hooters will bring back a lot of memories for the folks who caught the Philadelphia-based band's live shows on the Jersey Shore or listened to WMMR-FM in the 1980s. The band will reprise big hits like "All You Zombies," "And We Danced" and "Day by Day," and they'll introduce newer material as well. The shows will be at 7 p.m. on July 17 and 18.
The Temptations show will include founder and surviving original member Otis Williams. The legendary Motown band has a catalog of more than 25 Top 20 hits and they've been performing live for more than 50 years.
The Beach Boys have played to sold-out crowds on the Ocean City Music Pier for the past two summers, and they're making good on a promise to keep returning. They'll perform four shows: 6 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 21, and 6 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 22.
Ocean City Seeks Contestants for Mr. Mature Pageant
We're in the midst of what is statistically (over time) the coldest week of the year for our region. That means summer is coming and no longer going. It's time to start planning vacations (oceancityvacation.com) and purchasing discounted seasonal beach tags (ocnj.us/beachtags). Ocean City's calendar of events kicks into high gear on the first weekend of April with two second-year events, Girls Weekend and the OC-Con Comic Convention (April 1-2). This year, the Mr. Mature Pageant will move to the evening of the Doo Dah Parade on April 8 to cap off a day filled with humor and nostalgia.
Entries are open for contestants in the pageant. Mr. Mature celebrates the achievements of men 55 years and older. The pageant, now in its fourth year, mixes talent, good looks and self-deprecating humor. The Ocean City Music Pier crowd is raucous and appreciative as the contestants ham it up on stage, competing in talent, poise and interview segments. If you have what it takes to be the world's next "Mr. Mature" (or if you can talk somebody into it), complete the online entry form available at www.ocnj.us/mrmature.
Martin Luther King Day Events in Ocean City
What's Happening in Ocean City, NJJ 1/11/17
Ocean City will celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. at two events this weekend. The DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. CEREMONY starts at 1 p.m. Saturday (Jan. 14) at the Bill and Nancy Hughes Performing Arts Center at Ocean City High School. The DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. DAY OF SERVICE runs from 9 a.m. to noon Monday (Jan. 16) with sign-ups at the Howard S. Stainton Senior Center.
Both events embody the spirit of unity and community taught by Dr. King.

The event also includes a variety of music and reflections on Dr. King's work. Leroy Robertson, Tyrone Rolls and the Rev. Marcia Stanford of Macedonia United Methodist Church will be honored for their contributions to the community, and the winners of a student essay contest will be named.

TRAIL OF TWO CITIES TURNS 21 ON SATURDAY
What's Happening in Ocean City, NJ 11/3/16
The Trail of Two Cities 5K Run/Walk over the 9th Street Causeway, an Ocean City-Somers Point tradition for 21 years now, returns on Saturday, Nov. 5. When the race started, Nick Regina, who later founded the South Jersey Jazz Society, was public relations director of Somers Point. He called me and suggested the two communities hold an event together.
I thought this was a good idea. Running was gaining popularity at the time. So I suggested a run/walk over the old 9th Street Causeway. It would appeal to both runners and walkers alike and we could call it the "Trail of Two Cities." The causeway, which was closed to pedestrians and bicycles at the time, would be closed to traffic for an hour or so, and walkers could take photos.
The Trail of Two Cities is jointly organized by the Ocean City Recreation Department and the Somers Point Education Foundation. Proceeds help fund projects for both groups. The event steps off at 8 a.m. Saturday at the Ocean City Transportation Center with the finish line at John F. Kennedy Park in Somers Point.
Pre-registered shirt and number pickup is available Fri. Nov. 4 at the Aquatic and Fitness Center, 17th Street and Simpson Avenue, from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Awards will be presented to the first-place male and female finishers and to the top two runners in each age group. Awards ceremony will be held at Kennedy Park after the race.

Late entries may register the night of the parade at 6th and Asbury Ave. beginning at 6:30 p.m.
There will be eight divisions including decorated floats competing for prizes and trophies. Music will be provided by several high school marching bands and the ever popular Original Hobo Band of Pitman, New Jersey. Remember to bring a can of food to the parade. The Boy Scouts are assisting the local Food Cupboard by "Scouting for Food" for those in need. For more information, call the Halloween Hotline at 1-800-813-5580.

Lincoln will christen the next-generation MKC the Corsair, according to a report in Automotive News. The replacement for Lincoln's compact crossover SUV was reportedly shown at a dealer event in Orlando, Florida, where it was presented with the Corsair nameplate. Ford filed to register the Corsair name with United States Patent and Trademark Office in August 2017.
The Corsair name has history as both a nautical and an aeronautical term, with its origins dating back to the 16th century as a French word for "pirate." Four centuries later, the name Corsair was applied to a World War II fighter plane. Both fit nicely into the brand's current naming scheme for its SUVs, which tend to have a nautical and aeronautical bent.
As recent spy photos of the MKC replacement show, the next Lincoln compact crossover SUV is well into its development cycle, with the vehicle's design appearing to be fully fleshed out. Underneath the Ford Escape–based model's heavy camouflage, we can spot telltale Lincoln cues such as a full-width taillight integrated into the liftgate, turbine-style wheels, and a massive grille situated between slots for a pair of thin LED headlamps.
The Lincoln MKC just underwent a thorough facelift for the upcoming 2019 model year, so we don't expect to see the Corsair in Lincoln showrooms until 2020 at the earliest.


HTC's stock has sunk so low that its entire market capitalisation is now worth less than the cash it has in the bank.
In layman's terms, that means that if you could theoretically acquire all the shares of HTC, it would cost you less than the cash HTC holds — meaning HTC would effectively be paying you to acquire the entire company. In investors' terms, it means people think the company is essentially worthless.
That seems counterintuitive. Back in 2008, HTC sold more smartphones worldwide than Samsung did. It was the biggest Android seller on the planet. HTC isn't a leader now by any stretch, but it still makes one of the best Android phones on the market, the HTC One M9, which has gotten across-the-board good reviews. It has a 3.4% market share in the US. Again, not massive, but the phone business is huge, and 3.4% is a decent enough chunk to build a business with.
So why has HTC's stock crashed so low that the company now looks ripe for a hostile takeover by investors who simply want that cash?
This one statistic tells you all you need to know about why the Android business is so brutal: The Android manufacturer LG makes an average profit of only 1.2 cents per phone.
That number comes from LG, which reported results in July. HTC's numbers will be slightly different, but they will not be much different. HTC runs at a loss, which means HTC spends more to make a single phone than it can get by selling it. HTC is basically paying people to take its phones right now.
It won't get better soon, either.
Android manufacturers are in a price war against one another. Androids are only getting cheaper. Google for instance is relaunching Android One in India at just $50.
Samsung has the exact same problem as HTC.
The Galaxy S6 (and S6 Edge) and its coming Note 5 look like some of the best phones ever made. Yet Samsung's second-quarter results looked like this: Sales dropped 7% from 52.35 trillion won in Q2 2014 to 48.54 trillion won today.
That is a ridiculous number of different Android devices. Nobody needs that level of choice.
If you go to OpenSignal, the site that published this chart, you'll find it is interactive. Wave your mouse over the little squares and it will tell you which device each square represents. Some of these units are bonkers: HTC sells the HTC One, HTC One M8, HTC One X, HTC One XL, HTC One Mini, and so on and so forth. Nearly 50 different models, of which 49 are also-rans.
And it's competing against Samsung, which has even more models you've never heard of.
Android makers seem to think the best way to succeed is just to make as many different types of slightly incrementally different devices as possible and hope for the best.
So one way to interpret HTC's fortunes is to say there is an obvious level of overcapacity in the Android business, and it is time to see some consolidation. Some of these companies need to die. About 90% of all their brands need to be killed. Android companies need to concentrate on making one or two really excellent phones and tablets and let the devil take the hindmost.
It looks as if HTC may be the first to go.


ok so this is probably hidden in the annuls somewhere but..
here is the link to SANZARS Tv rights page for this seasons Super Rugby season which kicks off soon.
Where is the best or rather what is the best means of streaming the games (assuming that geoblocking isnt an issue !!).
If you use a VPN, you can stream it from livesport.tv for around $7 per month.
Livesport is okay, we accessed it via Unotelly, I think it puts you in Switzerland. The quality is SD (or was when we were on rubbishy ADSL), and you get the Aussie commentary.
We are planning to renew our sub when the season starts.
I think Sportsnet World Now might be an option - it's an online service for $25CAD per month for the all-inclusive package and that gives you access to Sportsnet World and a whole load more like the NRL and the ITM cup. They don't have Super Rugby specifically listed yet, though it's mentioned on their home page. But it's listed on the Super Rugby page as a broadcaster. Might be worth waiting until the season starts to make sure they're screening it. Unotelly will unblock it.
Is it that time already? I will have to subscribe to Sky Sport again.
turb: Livesport is okay, we accessed it via Unotelly, I think it puts you in Switzerland. The quality is SD (or was when we were on rubbishy ADSL), and you get the Aussie commentary.
In 2014, I emailed livesport about the image quality of the rugby, and SD was the best they offered.
It's certainly watchable, and it's very inexpensive.
Looks like a good option for rugby season with a annual pass for $101.20nzd (59.99euro) I don't know too much about them, but when you go to rugby page and latest videos are from 2014 it makes you second think this as a legitimate service provider. Would be interested to get feed back from Geekzoners who have used this service in the past.
dazhann: Looks like a good option for rugby season with a annual pass for $101.20nzd (59.99euro) I don't know too much about them, but when you go to rugby page and latest videos are from 2014 it makes you second think this as a legitimate service provider. Would be interested to get feed back from Geekzoners who have used this service in the past.
Which service do you mean?
I've tried the livesport site a few times and always been unimpressed. Standard definition, no ability to rewind, lots of buffering, and I'm on a good connection. I just found it frustrating. I went back to Sky for the RWC and it was refreshing watching rugby on my 50" plasma in HD again.
so until it kicks in we don't really know where or who is best to hook up with.
You could always get Sky's Fanpass monthly subscription for the first month ($56.00 - but it is recurring so make sure you remember to cancel it once you've finished with it) so you don't miss any games while you test out less expensive options. I've been using it for the cricket and it's been really good. I've been airplaying from my iPad and I think I'm getting around 720p - certainly looks nice and crisp. I'm on VDSL and it hardly ever drops or buffers. I'm fairly confident Sportsnet will be an option, they just haven't updated the rugby page on their site yet, but they do say on their home page they're screening Super Rugby.
Do any of these Airplay or have Apps? (AppleTV 4 or FireTV would be my choices).
I couldn't watch rugby on a computer screen.
Funnily enough, Fanpass works fine for me if I'm watching it on my iPhone/iPad but as soon as I airplay it, it becomes buggy and wants to buffer every so often. It's the only service I have issues with Airplay on. I've recently been watching US Netflix via airplay without an issue.
How odd! I'm airplaying from an old iPad 3 to an ATV4 without issue. Hanging out for Fanpass to make an app for the ATV, though. One less device to have to deal with.
For those using dns4me Jason has added livesport.tv to services, so I'll give it a go when the season kicks off.

This year the boys varsity volleyball team is looking to continue the strong reputation of years past. Last year's team made it all the way to the CIF Open Division finals. That team was led by Luke Lentin, Gabriel Featherstone, Berkeley Miesfeld, Tanner Ruane and others. Three of those four went on to play at Division 1 levels.
This year the team has hopped out to a solid start with two big wins against Scripps Ranch in five games and then Vista Murrieta in a three game sweep. The team is powered by Nathaniel Gates, the only returning varsity starter from last year. Sam Kaseff is filling in a big role of Featherstone as Micah Cunningham is taking over as the new setter. Tristan Thompson is taking over the middle blocker role and Nolan Mitruka and first-time volleyball player Ryan Le take over the Libero role. Their game against Vista Murrieta was a complete blowout. The first game was close as they won 25-21. The second and third games were not a close competition, as Nathaniel Gates dominated as Micah Cunningham set up his hitters well all night.
The next three games were against Bishops, Francis Parker, and Carlsbad. All three games were losses in three sets. Bishops was close as game one was lost 26-24, game two was 25-23, and game three was 25-20. The other two games weren't as close but the varsity boys stopped the losing streak with a three set sweep against Point Loma. Set two was a blowout as the team won 25-7. Nolan Mitruka reportedly said, "the other team's coach was so angry that he called two timeouts during the second set and made his team run suicides." The season is starting out with a couple strong wins and a couple tough losses, but the team looks to bounce back and continue to win throughout the season.

Central Asia is often associated with the silk route or road, the longest overland trade route connecting China to Europe and one of the oldest in history. Growth opportunities and the future prosperity of the region are highly dependent upon the efficiency of its internal and external supply-chain connections, which is the focus of this report. Supply-chain connectivity depends on the quality of the infrastructure on specific routes. This study explains how supply chain fragmentation remains a serious obstacle to economic development of Central Asia and to Eurasian integration more generally. It provides a comprehensive assessment of the various factors that yet impede supply-chain integration, including weak transport and communications infrastructure, but as important, and perhaps more so, critical weaknesses in policy, institutions, and governance. Based on this assessment this report provides an insightful set of recommendations that, if taken up by the governments of Central Asia and by their key neighbors, will go a long way in promoting the effective integration of Central Asia into an increasingly connected Eurasian continental economy and with that into the global economy.

Inside Phoebe Dynevor's Rumored Romance With Pete Davidson
Timothy Norris/Getty Images
By Effie Orfanides/Updated: March 24, 2021 3:51 pm EST
For all of the Bridgerton fans who had been holding out hope that Phoebe Dynevor would find love with her co-star Regé-Jean Page, this one is definitely going to sting. Dynevor has been linked to Pete Davidson, according to the Daily Mail. As Dynevor gears up to film Season 2 of the hit Netflix show, she has been traveling to New York to see the "King of Staten Island" himself. As reports would have it, Dynevor has "grown close" to Davidson, ex-boyfriend of Ariana Grande, Kate Beckinsale, and fling of one insanely hot supermodel, Kaia Gerber (via People).
Details about Dynevor and Davidson's rumored new romance have been sparse at best, but there have been several accounts of people saying that they saw the two together, either in New York or across the pond. In early February 2021, when Dynevor was in the Big Apple filming YOUNGER, she shared a few photos to Instagram with the caption, "Grateful I got to be here for a hot sec." She added a red heart emoji to the post, which could have symbolized her love for New York. Or, perhaps, it symbolized her rumored new love interest? Although it's clear she was in town to film, there are rumors that she also spent time with Davidson during that trip.
Pete Davidson visited Altrincham in the UK

Pete Davidson and Phoebe Dynevor are rumored to have met up again in Dynevor's hometown in England, according to Page Six. Dynevor lives in Altrincham, where she has been staying with a friend throughout the pandemic, according to the report. Someone on Facebook shared some info about seeing Davidson there, calling it "bizarre."
"Bizarre Altrincham spot of the day ... he's staying over in Altrincham with friends," the Facebook user posted (via Page Six). And, in the Daily Mail's report, someone else on Facebook actually shared a photo of Davidson in Altrincham. In the snap, Davidson was "wearing sunglasses and a black face covering as he posed with two fans." Neither Dynevor nor Davidson have spoken out about the rumors, nor have they been officially photographed together but, if the rumors are true, that's bound to happen sometime soon. For now, the actors seem to be keeping things on the down low the best they can.

THEY CALL IT MUSIC: "THE BIG 72" (March 19, 2010)
Last night I went to another of Kevin Dorn's late-Friday evening gigs at The Garage (Seventh Avenue South). The band, "The Big 72," plays from 10:30 to 2:30. Staying for all four sets would require a preparatory nap, something I've never managed to do — but I was so delighted with the music that I stayed for two sets rather than my customary one. You'll see why.
Like his hero Eddie Condon, Kevin likes to employ his friends for gigs (you'd be surprised at the rancor floating around the bandstand on some gigs — not Kevin's) and he had a particularly congenial crew of individualists last night.
For lyricism, there's the always-surprising Charlie Caranicas on cornet, who has a singing tone and many nimble approaches, not just one. The clarinet master (and occasional singer) Pete Martinez was in splendid form, murmuring in his lower register or letting himself go with whoops and Ed Hall-shrieks. I'd heard Adrian Cunningham only on clarinet before (at The Ear Inn and Sweet Rhythm): it was a revelation to hear him on alto, where he showed raucous rhythm-and-blues tendencies, bending notes in the manner of Pete Brown. In the background, Michael Bank took tidy, swinging solos and offered just the right chords behind soloists. He deserves a better piano, but he added so much. Kelly Friesen, hero of a thousand bands, pushed the beat but never raced the time, and his woody sound cut through the Garage's constant aural ruckus. And Kevin — well, he was in his element, letting the music take its own path without getting in its way by "leading." His solos were delicious sound-structures, full of variety and propulsion, but I found myself listening even more to his accompaniments: the sound of a stick on a half-closed hi-hat cymbal, the steady heartbeat of his bass drum, the tap of his stick on the hi-hat stem.
Here are ten performances I recorded. At first the Garage's patrons were unusually chatty and ambulatory (or should I say Talky and Walky?) but many of them noticed that me and my video camera. Surprisingly, they executed sweet arabesques of ducking down and getting small so they wouldn't walk in front of my lens. Thank you!
NOBODY'S SWEETHEART NOW, a pop tune beloved by late-Twenties jazz players (I think of Teagarden and Condon among them):
A devoted, serious reading of SUGAR by Pete Martinez:
If Louis Armstrong didn't invent THEM THERE EYES, he certainly owned this bright, silly song (until Billie Holiday came and reinvented it for everyone):
That probing, perhaps unanswered question (before Charles Ives), HOW COME YOU DO ME LIKE YOU DO?:
AFTER YOU'VE GONE, played as a Wettling-Davison romp rather than a lament:
MY GAL SAL (whose title musicians happily corrupted into "They called her Syphillis Sal"):
Homage to Bix Beiderbecke — here's JAZZ ME BLUES:
IDA (Sweet As Apple Cider) is forever associated in my memory with Pee Wee Russell, whose choruses were always unusual in the best way:
BALLIN' THE JACK, an eternally popular "here's how to do this new dance" song:
Finally, BLUES MY NAAUGHTY SWEETIE GIVES TO ME, recollecting JAMMIN' AT CONDON'S:
The Big 72 calls what they play music. Or what would you suggest?

RINGSIDE AT KEVIN'S: Feb. 5, 2010
My readers will catch the reference in the title to one of the great recordings of the early LP era (some might say one of the great recordings of all time) RINGSIDE AT CONDON'S, a collection of live performances by Eddie Condon's 1951-52 band at the club named for him. The music is precise but utterly spirited, a collection of great idiosyncratic soloists forming a cohesive ensemble unit.
Drummer Kevin Dorn doesn't have his own club, and he probably wouldn't want one — but the music he and his band, THE BIG 72, played last night at The Garage (Seventh Avenue South in Greenwich Village, New York City) evoked the Condon band of the Fifties in the best way. Not as a repertory exercise (although listeners with long memories might hear a respectful nod to a famous recording here or there during the set) but as a Condon-inspired exercise: hire the best players, let them have space to blow on good, sometimes less-heard songs, and enjoy the jazz.
The crowd did. (As an aside, I have to say that The Garage has the most mobile — or perhaps fidgety? — audience I've ever seen in a club: an apparently steady stream of people who had come in for a drink, a chat, or one song, entering and leaving. Come and meet / those tramping feet — about two miles south of Forty-Second Street). Hear a woman in the audience, who had been dancing wildly to the music, shout out "We love you!" before the band sails into HOW COME YOU DO ME LIKE YOU DO?
And that band. Kevin, summoning up the driving energy of Cliff Leeman, Buzzy Drootin, George Wettling — while listening to and supporting the band, varying his sound as the music demands. Bassist Kelly Friesen, a rhythmic rock, whether walking the chords, slapping, or even bowing the bass — he cut through the chatter and lifted everyone up. Jesse Gelber at the piano, talking to it as a man inspired, grinning enthusiastically at the keyboard. Trumpeter and sometime vocalist Simon Wettenhall, fervent and animated but subtle, turning curves like a race-car driver. Michael Hashim, mixing a gentle Hodges-approach with a violent rhythm-and-blues side, always enjoying himself. And my hero of the night, clarinetist Pete Martinez, who was in full flower with his patented version of Ed Hall's inspired rasp in his tone. And, in the fashion of the great informal aggregations of jazz, each of them is a particularly stubborn (although mild-mannered in person) individualist who keeps his identity safe while playing for the glory of the ensemble. What a band they are!
People in the know are accustomed to seeing and hearing this aggregation under the heading of the TRADITIONAL JAZZ COLLECTIVE. Kevin and colleagues have taken on a new name, somewhat mysterious — THE BIG 72. To find out what it means, you'll have to ask Kevin at a gig.
Here they are on Friday, February 5. 2010:
Paying homage to Bix Beiderbecke (and to Condon's BIXIELAND sessions) they began with a quick I'LL BE A FRIEND WITH PLEASURE, capped by Simon's derby-muted improvisation on Bix's recorded solo:
Then, perhaps in tribute to the huddled masses yearning to breathe free, wherever, who formed the mass of the audience, they launched into a rocking FIDGETY FEET:
The aforementioned question (sometimes unanswerable) that reminded me of JAMMIN' AT CONDON'S: HOW COME YOU DO ME LIKE YOU DO?:
Another Bix-inspired homage, although he never knew the song, composed later by Hoagy Carmichael: SKYLARK, with a rough-toned but convincing vocal by Simon:
And finally, in honor of Mr. Hall and perhaps Oran "Hot Lips" Page, here's THE SHEIK OF ARABY, complete with verse:
I had a wonderful time listening to this band. And — don't keep it a secret — they have a steady gig at the Garage, late night sessions two Fridays every month. You should see what they're like live: I plan to!

KEEP LIVE JAZZ ALIVE!
Posted on November 4, 2008 | 1 comment
Checking this blog's stats this afternoon, I note with pleasure that the preceding post, featuring live video of Jon-Erik Kellso, Chuck Wilson, Ehud Asherie, Kelly Friesen, and Andy Swann, has broken records. More people have seen this post than any I've ever created. I don't take credit for this. Credit belongs to the musicians and to Sweet Rhythm for providing a place for them to create magic on Sunday afternoons.
But I also hope that the people who, like me, are glued to their computers, actually get out and hear jazz live. That's one part of the punning title of this blog. Enjoy this video. Come up and see me sometime. I send you a cyber-embrace and real gratutude. But live jazz has qualities that equal and surpass the finest recordings. And we need to support it tangibly so that it continues, even flourishes.
Club owners are unmistakably pragmatic. They will hire those musicians who bring people into the club (people who also spend a dollar or two, if at all possible). When the musicians outnumber the audience, club owners just turn up the sound on the large-screen televisions mounted over the bar.
So please visit the sites where jazz is being kept alive. In a random list, they include Sweet Rhythm, Smalls, The Ear Inn, Sofia's, Birdland, Arthur's Tavern, Roth's, Fat Cat, Banjo Jim's, Cafe Steinhof, the Garage, the Telephone Bar, Moto, Harefield Road, the National Underground, Iridium, the Blue Note . . . and so on.
Nick's, the home of hot jazz and sizzling steaks, became Your Father's Mustache, and is now a Gourmet Garage. As much as I admire the fresh produce and farmhouse cheddars on sale there, I would trade it all for one more thriving jazz club. We can't bring back the lost Edens: the Onyx Club, the Half Note, or any of the clubs once called Eddie Condon's. But we can keep alive what we have now. There! I've said it. See you soon, in the flesh.

Voris: The conspiracy
Petertherock
Wow, that was a great video. Of course, now I could use a drink. What a wreck.
Bernadin, that filthy bum. I'm glad Voris called him out by name.
One of the aspects of a possible "conspiracy" that is lost on non-believers is the fact that a demonic intelligence may be the ringleader and not a group of humans who meet and organize plans. If you believe in an extraoardinarily ancient being, an angel with enormous power and intelligence who never sleeps and can tempt, manipulate and coerce billions of people, who never rests and never relents unless forced to by a greater power. It's very plausible that the conspiracy may originate and only be understood by it/him. But the evidence of the intelligence is there, the phenomena is there. So, dismissing the idea of a conspiracy theories and leaving it up to a random procession of "unrelated events" is an act of will on the part of the non-believer.
Ironically, the recourse often resorted to and promoted by religious who believe in the supernatural order but don't necessarily believe in a "conspiracy" against the Church, resort to engaging in a "conspiracy" of prayer and appeals to Our Lord and Our Lady and the Communion of Saints in order to affect the outcome of what they observe in favor of the Church.

On another Catholic forum I was banned for bringing up the topic of Michael Voris' Vortex on the Ravenous wolves. The thread was deleted apparently because of the attacks on Michael Voris. When I bought the subject up again on another thread it was then that I was banned from the web site permanently. Meanwhile another thread went on and on attacking Michael Voris and it appears Nothing was done ???
I and others here can probably guess the forum, and I assure you, most people here would not be surprised that happened.
Most here, including myself, like Voris, except for his haircut. :laughing:
Bakuryokuso
i also see this on the level of the sacraments and this one reason i switched from no to tlm. In my archdiocese, kids have to wait until theyre like 10 years old for first communion. In my geographic no parish, the kid has to go to church 3 weeks in a row before first communion. It's cookie cutter, one size fits all, come one come all. In the diocesan tlm, the priest judges whether the kid is ready. So my boy will be able to have first communion at 7. He's ready, so why delay? Look at a typical no mass... Virtually everyone takes communion. So tons of sacrilege must be happening but nothing is done about it. Sometimes there'd be only me or one or two others going to confession before a weekday mass and then basically all 75 people receive the host. Something's fishy. And most catholic marriages are between "catholics" who are already cohabitating, contracepting and failing in the sunday obligation. And people, i think, leave the church in the midst of this unserious "hoax" atmosphere

"Virgil the Roman"
Excellent Voris-video. I think we will see a visible schism, rather than a mere "de facto" schism or insurrection. To be honest, I really would like to see the Modernist and Liberal heretics expelled and excommunicated from the Holy Roman Church (Yes, we ought to pray for them.) However, the damage they continue to do whilst remaining apart of the Holy Roman Catholic Church is horrendous. Major and immediate action is required; the medicine needed, severe and grave.
Blessed Lord have mercy upon us.
02-20-2011, 07:03 AM (This post was last modified: 02-20-2011, 07:29 AM by Nic.)
Voris is a "traditionally minded" neo-con that is, IMO, on the edge of becoming a true trad, he just needs a good push (although that push may not even be enough - because if he aligns himself with true traditionalism, then he will alienate the majority of his neo-con constituency). He continues to complain about the problems in the Church, very rarely explaining why those problems are there to begin with, and never hitting the nail on the head as to the true cause. The answer is that it is the Second Vatican Council that has changed the ecclesiastical orientation in the Church by initiating a strange, subverted yet effective "coup d'etat" within the official structure of the Church. This seizing of power within the Church in the late 1960's allowed the new upper eschalon to enforce their will, which was changing/destroying the Mass of all-time and replacing said Mass with a Protestant form of worship strictly based on Thomas Cramner's previously condemned rite.
It is Vatican II that is the root cause and the N.O. Mass, which stems from the "spirit of Vatican II" that is the main cause of the symptoms that Voris speaks, that is, the low Mass attendance and the fact that the majority who claim to be "Catholic" deny at least one major doctrine or dogma of the Faith. Using typical neo-con tactics, he blames every bishop in the world for these problems, sparing the Pope no matter what he says and does (actually, I bet if one of the many bishops he slams for Modernism became the Pope, Voris would quickly forget about said bishop's alignment and continue along the path of "the Pope is a demi-god" that is routine within the neo-con camp). He says that there is an "open war against Peter," but he fails to recognize that the post-conciliar popes have been the forefront generals of this war, promoting both the new religion of Vatican II and, at limited times, the true religion of Christ, and causing great scandal in the hearts of every Catholic who knows the alignment of the pre-conciliar Church (no Catholic worth his salt can claim that John Paul II's "Assisi Prayer Meetings" were in any shape of form in the true spirit of Catholicism). This has caused even greater confusion among Catholics, whom the majority have no real idea what the Church really teaches concerning specific topics (i.e. religious liberty, ecumenism, extra ecclesiam nulla salus etc.) Among the laity, confusion and blind obedience are the debilitating factors of the day.
All in all, when the altars where stripped out of our churches and the Mass of all-time was subdued and a "banal,on-the-spot production" that is basically the Protestant arch-heretic Cramner's "Mass" was allowed to usurp - OF COURSE Catholics are going to loose the Faith! This is a no-brainer! Lex Orandi, Lex Credendi. At times, Voris may denounce certain "abuses" present in many N.O. Masses throughout the world, but he fails to recognize that it is the faulty foundation of the N.O. Mass itself that allows these abuses to take place. It is the sacrilegious foundation of the New Mass that causes these problems - it is the holy foundation of the TLM that prevents them. This is why there have NEVER been these abuses in the TLM, neither before the council or now. Also, no Protestant has EVER accepted the TLM as acceptable worship - but Protestants all over the world have accepted the New Mass as sufficient worship, claiming that it is now alright for Protestants to worship alongside of Catholics. This FACT should scream in all of our faces that the TLM and the New Mass are NOT teaching the same Faith, which was astutely observed by Cardinals Ottaviani and Bacci, claiming that "the New Mass fails to present the Faith as taught by the Council of Trent." This observation, again, should be a loud call to all who claim the New Mass still teaches Catholicism complete and resolute. The major reason for this accepting of Protestants is because the New Mass fails to show that a sacrifice is being offered to God, and this is ingrained within the very foundation of the New Mass. Therefore, it is not the "abuses" of the New Mass that are the problem, but the New Mass itself that is the problem.
Anyway, for those of us who understand this modern crisis for what it really is - we know that the schism has already occurred, regardless of them claiming to be "within" the official structure of the Church.
fatiam13
VTR The American Catholic Council that Voris speaks about will have it's first conference in Detroit this June or July. The Archbishop of Detroit has forbiden Catholics from the diocese from attending. A prelude to opposition to the reform of the reform and the new liturgy. Schism in my opinion is quite possible.
Nic I agree with your comment. Maybe prayers should should said to Our Lay of Fatima because Voris seems to distance himself from her. He also makes the point of not naming V2 and falls just by short by using terms such as "around 45 years ago" or "for a couple of generations now''. I don't understand why he can't name the obvious. V2 was essentially unnecessary and WAS a vehicle for the modernists to do their destruction.
3Sanctus
Regardless of where Mr. Voris may stand on the neocon-trad spectrum, he has a particular message he wants to get across to a particular group. He wants to show as many Catholics as possible the sort of problems going on with the Church. In order to be as effective as possible in this mission he has to first and foremost consider how he comes across to his entire audience, making sure he is able to expose the scandal in the Church to as many of the faithful as possible.
Making a stand as a trad or taking a particular position in a partisan political fashion is not something he should be doing - it would bring no benefit to his ministry and would only serve to push scare off some of his audience. I think he does a fine job of conducting his ministry and frankly the details of his personal beliefs are not as important to me as his ability to do the work of God through his particular medium.
We must also keep in mind God has (almost certainly in my mind) called him to this role, and he has to serve God's intentions and do what he feels called to by God - not what excites or placates any particular group of his viewers (whether they be madmen or saints).

As stage productions go, the latest musical from Tucson's Fine Arts Youth Academy is an ambitious one.
The academy is presenting an adaptation of the classic opera Aida, as re-envisioned with music and lyrics written by Elton John and Tim Rice.
But even with a pop-music sensibility, Guiseppe Verdi's original 1871 love story is a mature one for teenagers to perform.
The Fine Arts Youth Academy is one of many different summer arts immersion programs that are made possible by the non-profit group Arts Express, and features the talents of youth from 9th graders through graduated seniors.
Two performances of Aida are scheduled, Thursday and Friday. The curtain goes up at 7 p.m. at the Sahuaro High School Egbert Auditorium, 545 N. Camino Seco Road. More information is available at 520 319-0400.


It's winter in the majestically beautiful ancestral lands of the native American tribes, a wide spectacle captured by the sharp graphics carrying the theme of 32Red Casino's newest online video slot titled Mystic Dreams.
The tribe's mystical Totem Pole offers the gateway to wins when 3, 4 or 5 appear adjacent to one another, launching 10, 15 or 20 Free Spins that can re-trigger.
During those Free Spins if the Teepee Scatter symbols appear on reels 2, 3 or 4 it adds, respectively, Multipliers of 2x, 3x and 4x....but it doesn't end there; if multiple Wilds have built the winning combination, you can reap an extraordinary 24x reward!
The graphics carrying the theme in Mystic Dreams merit special attention, calling to mind wolves, dignified chiefs, dream catchers, and the great bison and eagle wild life of the old plains and mountains...and in this game day changes dramatically to a crisp, starlit winter night when the generous Free Spins feature is triggered.
The combination of Free Spins and big Multipliers in this game gives you great opportunities for success as well as entertainment, so take a time travel trip back to the days of the original Americans and try out Mystic Dreams - at 32Red Casino.


keímetha toîs keínon peithómenoi nomímois.
Stranger, tell the Lacedemonians that we lie here, obedient to their laws/customs.
(I've underlined the etas and omegas to distinguish them from epsilon and omicron.) The epitaph appeals to the passerby to deliver the message because these men died and were buried far from Sparta: with no post offices or telephones in the ancient world, epitaphs for those who died away from home were often in the form "If you are ever in the town of X, tell Y the son of Z that his son is buried here, far from home". The only way to send the message was to have it 'hitchhike' with someone who happened to be headed in the right direction. In this case, specific names are unnecessary.
Simonides was one of the greatest Greek poets, though little of his work survives — just enough to show us what we're missing. He was particularly known for his elegies, epitaphs, and threnodies — all the gloomier genres — which were simple and moving. His epitaphs were written for the actual monuments, not as literary exercises. This is Simonides XXIIb in the Oxford Classical Text of Epigrammata Graeca and (with commentary) Further Greek Epigrams, both edited by D. L. Page. The meter is elegiac couplet. Other sources give the last two words as rhémasi peithómenoi, "obedient to their words". However, whether he said that the Spartans were "obedient to the words" (= commands) of their kings or "obedient to the customs" of their country, it means that they were willing to follow orders without question even when there was no chance of survival. The word I have translated "obedient to" also means "persuaded by" — a nice example of small-d democracy in the very structure of the Greek language. The movie Go Tell The Spartans takes its title from Simonides' epitaph, either directly or (perhaps through Cicero) indirectly.
Stranger, tell Sparta that you saw us lying here, as we obey the sacred laws of our fatherland.
The first two lines are a paraphrase of Simonides, generalized for all nations. The last two are Housman's own addition, though the thought is very pagan and very Greek. Housman's little poem achieves an impressive degree of Simonidean simplicity. Every word but two is monosyllabic, and even the exceptions hardly count, since 'nothing' was originally 'no thing' and 'because' originally (I think) 'by cause'. It's odd that a professional Latinist should write such a thoroughly unLatin poem: just about every word is pure Anglo-Saxon.
What's cretinous about Sifton's statement? It's missing three words. If true, this would indeed be "the most serious war crime" by our side "reported in Iraq since the beginning of the war", but it wouldn't even be in the top 20 war crimes committed in Iraq in that time period. The 'insurgents' routinely kill civilians in larger numbers, and in cold blood. Of course, that does not in any way justify massacres by our side, but it's amazing that anyone could write such an obviously false statement. Apparently, to some people, massacres by Islamist fanatics, leftover Ba'athists, and their foreign allies don't really count as massacres.
El paganismo es el otro Antiguo Testamento de la Iglesia.
Paganism is the other Old Testament of the Church.
I've decided to ditch the old format and modify one of the WordPress templates to make it my own. Step 1: The weevils are back. Step 2: The blogroll will be back tomorrow. Step 3: I haven't decided yet. Comments are welcome.
The fact that the flood of spam comments was undeterred by the lack of a comment form is particularly disgusting.
Until I figure out how to fix the problem, the visual appearance of this site will be highly unstable, and sometimes quite ugly.
Speaking of ugly, the company (apparently an Earthlink subsidiary) that is holding my original domain name hostage hasn't replied to the letter of complaint I sent them by certified mail six weeks ago. Nor have I received the delivery confirmation I paid the Post Office for. I would have thought that they would let me know if they were unable to deliver the letter in six weeks of trying, but apparently not.
Over the last year or two, I've wasted far too many hours arguing in the comment sections of other blogs when I should be posting here. For instance, for the last couple of days I have tried to argue with the trolls infesting the comments in this thread at Crooked Timber, to little avail. Since my last comment there has been "in moderation" for over 24 hours now, I'm posting it here verbatim.
Lemuel Pitkin (101) "do[es]n't wish harm on anyone serving in Iraq", but does hope that the military "cracks up and melts". That's like not wishing anyone will lose his job while hoping that GM or MicroSoft or AT&T goes bankrupt. You can't have one without the other, and your pious wish is obviously insincere. The fact is that the military will not and cannot "meltdown" or "crack" without losing the current war, which is to say without the deaths of thousands more soldiers and tens or hundreds of thousands more civilians (I mean the Iraqis that would be left to the mercies of Zarqawi and the Ba'athist holdouts).
PBG (95) asks "who decided that you wouldn't go to Iraq? What branch of the military assigned you this duty?" That would be all of them. I'm 53, and was far over the age-limit for military service on 9/11/01. Not that I expect anyone here to apologize for calling me a 'chickenhawk'. PBG might want to try rereading the 2nd and 3rd paragraphs of comment 44: unless you have put your life on the line for something you believe in, you have no moral right to criticize anyone else for not doing so. Most of the left claims to have supported the liberation of Afghanistan. In October 2001 it looked like that would take hundreds of thousands of troops, 5+ years, and thousands of dead American soldiers to accomplish. (That's certainly what the Russian experience suggested.) I was as surprised as everyone else at how quickly the Taliban collapsed. So how many lefties joined the service in October 2001? I believe the answer is zero.
Jade (100) doesn't seem to realize that 'neoconservative' has more than one meaning, and that she can't just pick the one that makes her look right and me look wrong. Just as 'classical music' sometimes covers only Haydn, Mozart, and their contemporaries, and sometimes includes everything from Monteverdi to John Adams, 'neoconservatism' sometimes refers to a small but influential group of former Trotskyists like Irving Kristol, and sometimes refers to what I like to call 'paleoliberals', the people who were called liberals back when today's liberals were still called socialists, and who now comprise the bulk of the Republican party along with a Democrat or two. She insists on the broader meaning, though Bruce Baugh and Dr. Righteous clearly meant the narrower one. It's easy to tell which is which: when people mention roots in the "Communist left" or use the adjective "Straussian", they're talking about the ex-Trotskyists, who, as I said, have nothing to do with this thread.
Space (96) claims that I banned him from my site for some inoffensive comments, though he can't seem to recall whether there were one or two, what subject they were on, what year this happened, or anything at all about them. Perhaps he has me confused to with some other blogger. Or perhaps he is a liar. I've only banned a dozen commenters in all the years I've blogged, all but one for either repeated lies or gross obscenities. (The other one posted 16 pages of Chomsky blather as a single comment.) I don't believe any of them called himself 'space'.
Space also sneers at those who refuse to make any sacrifice for the war, giving as one example "buying smaller cars", as if that were a devastating retort that I couldn't possibly answer. I've only owned two cars in my life, an '83 2-door Sentra with a manual transmission and no radio or a/c (not very pleasant for 6 1/2 years in Tuscaloosa), and a '95 2-door Tercel, also manual, bought used in 1997 when the Sentra died. I think I'm doing my share on the mileage front, even if Space feels entitled to assume that anyone right of center must own multiple gas-guzzlers.
Finally, Space insists that Roger's wish for an Army "meltdown" is extremely rare on the left. On this thread, the score is now three in favor (Roger, abb1, Lemuel Pitkin), two opposed (Nin and myself), one waffling (Jade), and a dozen or more abstentions. Not a bad score for such an "uncommon" viewpoint.
By the way, I'm curious if anyone here is even capable of admitting that I might be partially correct on even a single point of the dozens I've made. It's not really possible for one person to be totally wrong on every detail of every issue as judged by a dozen people who don't entirely agree with each other, so those who pretend that I am are obviously using something other than rational argument to reach their conveniently similar conclusions.
Anyway, keep trying, monkeys. I'll check in tomorrow to see if your aim has improved. Now I have to go to the liquor store to spend the check Karl Rove just sent me.

Betsy Newmark and others have noted the legal troubles of the Qwest CEO who made the decision, which ought (one would think) to have made the company more likely to cooperate with the federal government.
Perhaps there is more to the story than we have been told. Perhaps Qwest is cooperating, and the NSA asked them to say that they weren't to lull present and future suspects into careless mistakes.
Or perhaps the news is technically correct, but Qwest is cooperating in some other way. Even more useful than a list of all calls made through Qwest would be the much shorter list of telephone customers who suddenly switched from other carriers to Qwest just this week, particularly if they seemed very eager to switch and lost money by prematurely ending contracts with their previous carriers. No doubt such a list would sweep up a fair number of kneejerk libertarians, deranged Kossaks, uncharacteristically-alert druggies, cautious adulterers, apolitical criminals, and simple paranoids,* but there would likely be some homicidal Islamists in the mix. I would think the NSA would find such a list very useful.
*Not all categories are mutually exclusive.

How Devious Is This Plot?
It seems to be generally agreed that Porter Goss was put in charge of the CIA to clean out all the weasels, snakes, toads, and cuckoos, and that his task is far from complete. Perhaps his unexpected resignation is part of the assignment, and he's just seeing which of his subordinates can't stop grinning when they think he's not watching.
