  Fri. 1/6/12 8:39am Doug Schulkind:

  Fri. 1/6/12 8:39am listener james from westwood:

  Fri. 1/6/12 8:39am listener james from westwood:

ah, it's healthier for me to walk anyway. you were right to do it.
  Fri. 1/6/12 8:41am earwax:

Friends don't let friends listen to anything else or drink Iron City beer.
  Fri. 1/6/12 8:41am listener james from westwood:

there are magic hats in the fridge right now. either i will drink them or use them in chili. or both.
  Fri. 1/6/12 8:46am earwax:

I vote both. I'll be over for chili. I'll bring some Saranc India Copper ale.
  Fri. 1/6/12 8:48am Doug Schulkind:

Iron City beer is for killing slugs in the garden.
  Fri. 1/6/12 8:48am listener james from westwood:

that would do nicely. just have to nick out for eggs and milk to make cornbread.
  Fri. 1/6/12 8:49am Doug Schulkind:

Thanks for the Twittermatizing, LJFW!
  Fri. 1/6/12 8:53am Brian in Yukon:

On my way to the Dinosaur Theme Park. Shorts & sandals are a bit skimpy. Should have put on some socks.
  Fri. 1/6/12 8:54am Doug Schulkind:

Breaking rocks in the hot sun, I fought the T-Rex and the T-Rex won.
  Fri. 1/6/12 8:54am listener james from westwood:

  Fri. 1/6/12 8:56am glenn:

socks with sandals? eeeewwww.
  Fri. 1/6/12 8:56am Brian in Yukon:

  Fri. 1/6/12 8:58am Doug Schulkind:

Hi ndbob!
  Fri. 1/6/12 8:58am Brian in Yukon:

Who are you calling everyone, ndbob. It's colder than a witches tit out here.
glenn are you some kind of fashion icon then.
  Fri. 1/6/12 8:59am Doug Schulkind:

I hate to cut off this killer Oscar Perry track...
  Fri. 1/6/12 9:01am ndbob:

we have actually had record warmth here in North Dakota - high of 56 yesterday when normal high is 16
  Fri. 1/6/12 9:02am listener james from westwood:

morning all!!
  Fri. 1/6/12 9:02am ndbob:

morning James!
  Fri. 1/6/12 9:03am glenn:

  Fri. 1/6/12 9:04am listener james from westwood:

possibly the yukon came to brian!
  Fri. 1/6/12 9:04am Doug Schulkind:

First person whose "math problem" for leaving a comment is 666 gets a kewpie doll, courtesy of GTDS management.
  Fri. 1/6/12 9:05am still b/p:

It's Friday. Get your Yukon.
  Fri. 1/6/12 9:06am earwax:

Only Satan gets 666 when leaving a comment
  Fri. 1/6/12 9:07am trish:

Is that 666-today or 666-anytime?
  Fri. 1/6/12 9:07am glenn:

i wonder if satan has a personalized license plate?
  Fri. 1/6/12 9:08am chris in durban:

greetings doug'n'all .. hot as hell here in durban
  Fri. 1/6/12 9:08am Brian in Yukon:

I think my happy shopper satnav is fucked. My teddy bear had stopped talking to me now.
glenn satin is REAL. It suits you.
Thanks chris!!
  Fri. 1/6/12 9:10am earwax:

Don't know about the license plate but Satan sell used cars
  Fri. 1/6/12 9:10am Doug Schulkind:

Good mornining (afternoon) Chris in Durban!

666 anytime, Trish. We ain't cheap bastids here.
  Fri. 1/6/12 9:11am Doug Schulkind:

Satan defintely's got some fuzzy dice hanging from the rear-view. They're covered in loosey fur.
  Fri. 1/6/12 9:13am earwax:

This gospel set is driving Satan away
  Fri. 1/6/12 9:13am glenn:

no, those are rick santorum's balls.
  Fri. 1/6/12 9:14am Doug Schulkind:

Satan is low-riding his own ass away.

Glenn, you are in the penalty box for two minutes for using "Rick" "Santorum" and "balls" in the same sentence.
  Fri. 1/6/12 9:15am ndbob:

indeed Glenn
  Fri. 1/6/12 9:15am Doug Schulkind:

Did Archie Brownlee just sing, "I've Got a Telephone in My Bosom"?!
  Fri. 1/6/12 9:16am chris in durban:

did that blind boy just say he had a telephone in his bosom?
  Fri. 1/6/12 9:17am trish:

Pretty sure the randomizer has landed on the loaded number for me.
  Fri. 1/6/12 9:17am Doug Schulkind:

Great minds ponder alike, Chris.
  Fri. 1/6/12 9:18am Brian in Yukon:

Doug, at 08:54. Have you heard "I Fought the Law" by Rossy. He is Madagascan. Belter.
  Fri. 1/6/12 9:18am chris in durban:

na, its just a fixation on bosoms doug
  Fri. 1/6/12 9:18am still b/p:

I asked Satan to show me the Carfax and he stuck it to my forehead with a hot pitchfork.
  Fri. 1/6/12 9:18am Doug Schulkind:

Satan will be driving that kewpie doll out to you, Trish. He works in the GTDS mailroom. Ahahahahaha!
  Fri. 1/6/12 9:19am glenn:

more importantly, WHY is brian in the yukon?
  Fri. 1/6/12 9:19am Brian in Yukon:

Surely it should be 'The Great FOUND Blind Boys Album'
  Fri. 1/6/12 9:19am listener james from westwood:

i know i've hit 666 on the confirmation page at least once. it was the 1st 3 digits of my phone # for decades. also my mailbox number at college.
  Fri. 1/6/12 9:20am listener james from westwood:

every time i hear an ad for that carfax operation, i think, does dracula run the company?
  Fri. 1/6/12 9:20am Parq:

Wait, now people are faxing from their cars? Texting was bad enough.
  Fri. 1/6/12 9:20am Doug Schulkind:

Remember when I said Listener James slept here last night? Has anyone seen LJFW and Satan in the same room at the same time? I'm just askin'.
  Fri. 1/6/12 9:21am Brian in Yukon:

glenn to 08:53 & & 09:08. Thought this was where we were convening today.
  Fri. 1/6/12 9:21am trish:

I've been saddled with both 666 and 777 in various id numbers. They're both a cruel irony for someone who consumes more math than superstition.
  Fri. 1/6/12 9:24am trish:

thou shalt believe in a flat earth
  Fri. 1/6/12 9:24am Neil Young:

Numbers add up to nothing. 'cepting the royalty checks.
  Fri. 1/6/12 9:25am Doug Schulkind:

Oh Neil, go vote for Reagan and leave us be.
  Fri. 1/6/12 9:26am glenn:

hey drummer, i see eilen jewell is playing in pittsboig on the 1st of march. in case you're needing something to do that evening.
  Fri. 1/6/12 9:26am Neil Young:

Out of the Black & into the BLUE
  Fri. 1/6/12 9:27am listener james from westwood:

and don't think that santorum clown hasn't been keeping me busy. i've got 12 devils trailing him night and day, and that runs to money. gingrich i don't have to watch, i've got a nice spot for him in the second circle next to the other adulterers.
  Fri. 1/6/12 9:28am glenn:

are you satan, listener james?
  Fri. 1/6/12 9:29am glenn:

is it weird that i'm an avowed atheist, but totally love gospel music?
  Fri. 1/6/12 9:30am Doug Schulkind:

Listener Satan from (a few miles under) Westwood.

We are all that weird, Glenn.
  Fri. 1/6/12 9:31am Doug Schulkind:

PU-sahn, Doug, not PU-san
  Fri. 1/6/12 9:32am Van in Dallas:

Hi there
  Fri. 1/6/12 9:32am Brian in Yukon:

glenn so you do have a strong belief in nothing. That makes it quite understandable to like something that has strong beliefs even if these are not you own.
Christ it's cold.
  Fri. 1/6/12 9:33am Doug Schulkind:

Greetings, Van! How's the packing going? I'm actually in the D.C. area right now.
  Fri. 1/6/12 9:33am Paul Sherratt:

I'm just a weird as you !
  Fri. 1/6/12 9:34am Van in Dallas:

Going well I guess...everybody hates doing it though right? ...unless you're getting paid for it I guess :)
  Fri. 1/6/12 9:35am earwax:

Whether you believe or not, it's damn fine music.
  Fri. 1/6/12 9:36am Doug Schulkind:

Good afternoon, Brother Paul!

Van, my move from NYC to Pittsburgh was insanely painless. It does help when your wife's new employer is paying for it!
  Fri. 1/6/12 9:38am Paul Sherratt:

Afternoon, Mornin' Doug ! Loved that Kilgore Brothers - wonder if Merle K was a relative ?
  Fri. 1/6/12 9:38am Jesus:

Heeding only the Gospel according to Juke. Cool.
  Fri. 1/6/12 9:39am earwax:

Devilish Mary. Satan's girlfriend?
  Fri. 1/6/12 9:39am ndbob:

When I moved here I get rid of everything except for a carload of stuff - and one storage locker.
  Fri. 1/6/12 9:39am trish:

I believe it's gonna snow, today.
  Fri. 1/6/12 9:39am Satanico Montalban:

I found this oft-covered country song called BJ the DJ. Have you heard it?
  Fri. 1/6/12 9:39am northguineahills:

w00t! I remembered to tune-in to Doug. It's hard since Scott's show is so good as well.
  Fri. 1/6/12 9:40am trish:

wait, no -- rain.
  Fri. 1/6/12 9:40am listener james from westwood:

ditto on being an atheist who enjoys the gospel tunes. i dig the sinner's crossroads too, even if i don't share the spiritual belief. got a heart even if i don't have a soul.
  Fri. 1/6/12 9:41am Paul Sherratt:

I'm with Al Hendrix !
  Fri. 1/6/12 9:41am Doug Schulkind:

Satanico! Yeah, I got that one.

Howdy Northguineahills! Hey, are you on my mailing list? If so, you'll get an email alert (with links to the stream/playlist) before the show goes live.
  Fri. 1/6/12 9:42am listener james from westwood:

if i were satan, fmu would be financially fixed for life. believe me. i wouldn't even ask for an on-air underwriting mention.
  Fri. 1/6/12 9:43am listener james from westwood:

sometimes i think of moving, look around, and realize i'd need a buddy or two to get me through the winnowing process for all the CRAAAAP around here.
  Fri. 1/6/12 9:47am Doug Schulkind:

OK, here comes the big one from Gin Gillette...
  Fri. 1/6/12 9:47am Brian in Yuk:

'Souls ain't born, souls don't die' Mary Gauthier
  Fri. 1/6/12 9:48am ndbob:

this is great!
  Fri. 1/6/12 9:49am earwax:

Up next Highway to Hell.
  Fri. 1/6/12 9:50am northguineahills:

@Drummer Some: I'm on your email list, but I usually forget to check it until after lunch. Most weeks in the last few months I've remembered around 11:50 to tune into your show.
  Fri. 1/6/12 9:50am el thatchmo:

Nice Weekends!
  Fri. 1/6/12 9:51am Doug Schulkind:

Northguinea, I could call you...collect.
  Fri. 1/6/12 9:52am Doug Schulkind:

Cousin Thatchmo!
  Fri. 1/6/12 9:54am listener james from westwood:

  Fri. 1/6/12 9:57am earwax:

Yay! Destination Out.
  Fri. 1/6/12 10:00am Brian in Yuk:

Edmundo, the late Centurian.
  Fri. 1/6/12 10:01am Doug Schulkind:

Edmundo Ros was actually a Trinidadian named Eddie Ross. Had a Scottish pop and lived in the U.K. With Brian.
  Fri. 1/6/12 10:08am jk:

its warming up, ready for a springy weekend of working in the studio!
  Fri. 1/6/12 10:09am Mongo Montalban:

THis is great! This Mongo track!
  Fri. 1/6/12 10:11am Mongo Montalban:
  Fri. 1/6/12 10:12am Mongo Montalban:

Flyers supposedly found all over NY sometime in the 80s
  Fri. 1/6/12 10:12am Doug Schulkind:

That "Truth About Mongo" art was on the desktop of WFMU's library computer for years.
  Fri. 1/6/12 10:13am Paul Sherratt:

Edmundo :
" He came, he saw, he conga'd ! "
Pity those ignorant producers of popular dance entertainment ' Strictly etc ' hadn't got that tiniest amount of decency needed to mention either his 100th birthday in 2010 or his passing last autumn.
  Fri. 1/6/12 10:13am Artie:

Carbonated little rumpshakers putting a bounce in my boot.
  Fri. 1/6/12 10:14am trish:

'scandalous' !
  Fri. 1/6/12 10:15am Doug Schulkind:

Make mine an XXL:
  Fri. 1/6/12 10:15am Mongo Montalban:

I have a good friend whose father played with Flora Purim and he had horrible stories about Airto Moreira
  Fri. 1/6/12 10:16am Brian in UK:

Back home now. I an sticking with maps.
ref Edmundo Was it ever thus, Paul? Bunch of tossers on the TV.
  Fri. 1/6/12 10:17am Doug Schulkind:

And now we are into our "Sadistic Bastards" portion of the comments. Step right up, ladies and germs...
  Fri. 1/6/12 10:17am listener james from westwood:

I am adding "he is a game player and a compulsive womanizer" to my linkedin profile.
  Fri. 1/6/12 10:18am Doug Schulkind:

By game player, LJFW, I don't think they meant Dungeons and Dragons. (Oh snap!)
  Fri. 1/6/12 10:18am listener rey:

Happy 2012 Doug and all the drumma-summas.
Nice way to start off a year of Fridays!
  Fri. 1/6/12 10:19am listener james from westwood:

damn. what the hell am i gonna do w all these d20s?!
  Fri. 1/6/12 10:20am Doug Schulkind:

Great to hear (read) from you, Rey!
  Fri. 1/6/12 10:20am Mongairto Montaliero:

That's just how you roll.....
  Fri. 1/6/12 10:21am listener james from westwood:

btw, anyone who ever used to play ad&d, the random harlot table from the dungeon masters' guide:
  Fri. 1/6/12 10:22am still b/p:

I have a band-aid on my right index finger right now. This will be a badge of dog-mannered dishonor when I'm out tonight?
  Fri. 1/6/12 10:22am Doug Schulkind:

Man, this track makes me happy.
  Fri. 1/6/12 10:23am 3rd level Cleric Montalban:

I was playin' D&D back when if you wanted to steal the game, you had someone copy the book on a copymachine.
  Fri. 1/6/12 10:24am Paul Sherratt:

>>Bunch of tossers on the TV

Brian, I think you're being far too kind. Mind you you can't fail to admire their Oxbridge skills of infantilising a nation !
  Fri. 1/6/12 10:25am ndbob:

I remember well your tribute to Mouse.
  Fri. 1/6/12 10:27am Paul Sherratt:

Take care of that kitten, Doug. Don't let it stray.
  Fri. 1/6/12 10:27am Brian in UK:

You cannot get just one mouser, Doug. It will get lonely. Llamas are the must have pet this year.
  Fri. 1/6/12 10:28am still b/p:

Deals with Satan allow time travel.
  Fri. 1/6/12 10:28am earwax:

Doug Shulkind - time traveler
  Fri. 1/6/12 10:28am Artie:

Double Kitten All The Way!!!
  Fri. 1/6/12 10:29am el thatchmo:

Say you love Saten!
  Fri. 1/6/12 10:32am Doug Schulkind:

OK, but I don't particularly like seitan.
  Fri. 1/6/12 10:32am Michael:

Morning Doug and fellow travelers. Our house has that same hole Doug.
  Fri. 1/6/12 10:33am northguineahills:

Wow, not familiar w/ Lyle "Spud" Murphy, good stuff! (and 1954!)
  Fri. 1/6/12 10:33am Brian in UK:

Here you are Doug, a friend for life
  Fri. 1/6/12 10:34am Brian in UK:

Wadda you mean they look like their owners!!
  Fri. 1/6/12 10:34am Jeff G:

Morning, all. Hail Satan, etc.
Haven't taken the train to Satanville in a while, but iirc cars 1-8 do not "platform" at that station.
  Fri. 1/6/12 10:36am still b/p:

First, Google "llama attack" and watch a few vids
  Fri. 1/6/12 10:36am Doug Schulkind:

Thanks Brian. I could use a good hump. What?!

@Michael, it still hurts. My cat Mouse was the kind of cat you could have a conversation with.

Greetings Jeff G! Can't wait to hear what D:O RADIO has got cooking for January 16.
  Fri. 1/6/12 10:38am northguineahills:

Hmmmm, this Morricone/Baker wasn't on the Morricone boxset you linked last summer. I suppose Morricone's work is inexhaustible.
  Fri. 1/6/12 10:40am Jeff G:

You and me both, Doug.

SCHOOF is a good name. Does Sextett in German have an extra T on it? See that a lot with those dudes.
  Fri. 1/6/12 10:40am Michael:

Ours was a stray city cat we took in when we lived in Boston and my daughter was little and when we moved out of the city the cat moved out of the city with us. We thought of the cat as my daughters sister since they grew up together!
  Fri. 1/6/12 10:41am Doug Schulkind:

My guess is Ennio would like to forget all about his session with that little prick Baker. (Chet had just been let out of jail and was annoying everyone.)
  Fri. 1/6/12 10:41am northguineahills:

Manfred Schoof never gets enough recognition. Is this a Wergo reissue?
  Fri. 1/6/12 10:41am Doug Schulkind:

Google translates this title as:
"Entity (Certain Christian lava formations on the A pathetic end, nothing can)"

We report, you decide...
  Fri. 1/6/12 10:43am Jeff G:

Y'all see E Iverson's interview with Jim McNeely? There's some interesting Baker/Getz stuff in there.
  Fri. 1/6/12 10:43am Jack:

Good morning everyone. Look at all this good music I've missed!
  Fri. 1/6/12 10:43am Leigh:

Mornin' Doug
  Fri. 1/6/12 10:43am jill:

Hello all. Happy 2012.
Drummer - were you referring to the Shakespeare play on my facebook page?
  Fri. 1/6/12 10:44am northguineahills:

Thanks Jeff G!
  Fri. 1/6/12 10:44am Leigh:

Just observin' here @ work. Wish I could crank it.

hello Jill!
  Fri. 1/6/12 10:45am Doug Schulkind:

Here's that Manfred Schoof:

Hi in real time, Leigh!! Hope the show looks OK.

Yes, exactly, Jill. Saw a production of Twefth Night in Pittsburgh last month...
  Fri. 1/6/12 10:46am listener james from westwood:

Doug, I fear the FOX tagline will echo in my ears. The lobby of my apt bldg just installed a TV, and the demographic of the bldg. is right up in O'Reilly country.
  Fri. 1/6/12 10:47am Doug Schulkind:

Wish I knew what that weird blast of salsa was at the end of the Manfred Schoof piece. Whatever it is, it's on the mp3. The thing is, I will NEVER remember to edit it and will ALWAYS get freaked by it EVERY damn time I play that track.
  Fri. 1/6/12 10:47am Leigh:

Howdy. Looking great.
  Fri. 1/6/12 10:48am Doug Schulkind:

Hi Jack (makes me think "Hijack!!") You can alway go back and check the archives. What a miracle this Interweb thingy is.
  Fri. 1/6/12 10:50am Jeff G:

Digging this Elishax2/Rubin jam. Who are these folks?
  Fri. 1/6/12 10:50am northguineahills:

Doug, you're giving too much musics to listen to! I think I'm still in Sept for your newsletter recommending blog selections. (this is not a onerous problem)
  Fri. 1/6/12 10:51am Doug Schulkind:

Twefth Night is nothing like Twelfth Night, of course.
  Fri. 1/6/12 10:51am jill:

Ahhh, i was referring to the great NOLA tradition where evening of the Twelfth Night of the Christmas season as it
segues into Carnival season. It's pretty much Marid Gras season.
  Fri. 1/6/12 10:52am Doug Schulkind:

@Jeff G, they're from Israel. I can git you (digital) copy.

You're gonna PLOTZ over this Yoshiaki Fujikawa number.
  Fri. 1/6/12 10:53am jill:

you know what i mean, typos and all.
  Fri. 1/6/12 10:54am Ricardo Montalban:

This is great, Doug! It sounds like a demented version of Masada or something.
  Fri. 1/6/12 10:54am Jeff G:

Thanks, Doug! Thought they might be part of the Israeli jazz fam, given the names and all. Turns out "Out Now" is not a very Google-friendly label name.
  Fri. 1/6/12 10:56am Doug Schulkind:

Look for this Yoshiaki Fujikawa in next Wednesday's Mining the Audio Motherlode.

@Jeff G > Too funny!
  Fri. 1/6/12 10:59am Doug Schulkind:

@Ricardo, this is the sound of John Zorn's nightmares (or maybe daydreams).
  Fri. 1/6/12 10:59am Jeff G:

Ok, "The Father, The Son and the Harold Rubin" is kind of a genius name for a tune:
  Fri. 1/6/12 11:00am Doug Schulkind:

@Jeff G, listen to my upcoming (prerecorded mic break). I make the same point.
  Fri. 1/6/12 11:01am Jeff G:

Ack! Sorry to step on your lines!

It's coming back to me; this is Yair Yona's gig, yeah?

Ok, shutting up now.
  Fri. 1/6/12 11:03am Carmichael:

Happy Friday, people of popular persuasion.
  Fri. 1/6/12 11:05am Doug Schulkind:

Yes, Jeff, music came from YY. And never shut up! Lines are for stepping on. (Step on a wisecrack and you break you're mother's back.)
  Fri. 1/6/12 11:07am northguineahills:

@Ricardo: You're dead on about "Empatico"!
  Fri. 1/6/12 11:07am glenn:

i can feel my inner grammar nazi coming out.
  Fri. 1/6/12 11:08am Doug Schulkind:

Good, Carmichael's here. Let the Exalted Gathering of the PPP come to order.
  Fri. 1/6/12 11:09am ndbob:

  Fri. 1/6/12 11:11am Carmichael:

Hey Bob & Doug. How's it goin', eh?
  Fri. 1/6/12 11:12am lucy:

love this...
  Fri. 1/6/12 11:13am Jeff G:

Doug, you hear/like that Connie Converse stuff that was recently-ish unearthed?
  Fri. 1/6/12 11:16am Doug Schulkind:

Hi Lucy!!

Jeff, I don't know the Connie Converse stuff. Yet. (Thanks.)

I heard that Canadian accent, Carmichael.
  Fri. 1/6/12 11:21am ndbob:

always liked the Carolyn Hester material from this era.
  Fri. 1/6/12 11:22am Brian in UK:

Was this after Farewell Aldabaren?
  Fri. 1/6/12 11:22am Brian in UK:

Cancel that previous, getting confused with Jerry Yester.
  Fri. 1/6/12 11:24am still b/p:

Did the Hester track sound a little like, although better than, the tunes the girls do in Beyond the Valley of the Dolls?
  Fri. 1/6/12 11:26am Doug Schulkind:

Brian, bet you were thinking of Judy Henske, which led to Jerry Yester. (I can read minds.)
  Fri. 1/6/12 11:26am el thatchmo:

This chick rock is sooo hot!
  Fri. 1/6/12 11:26am Carmichael:

Hippie music!! Yay!!
  Fri. 1/6/12 11:28am lucy:

particularly loving these sounds today in brooklyn
  Fri. 1/6/12 11:28am Doug Schulkind:

I'm weaving a God's eye and sifting stems and seeds using my CSNY gatefold LP cover.
  Fri. 1/6/12 11:28am northguineahills:

what el thachmo & Carmichael said....
  Fri. 1/6/12 11:30am Doug Schulkind:

So cheered you're listening, Lucy.
  Fri. 1/6/12 11:30am Brian in UK:

That's the trouble with CDs, Doug. Suite:Judy Blue Eyes.
  Fri. 1/6/12 11:31am Doug Schulkind:

Yes, Brian, that is the LP is was thinking of. CD jewel cases are used to cut coke; LP jackets are used to clean pot. What the crap are mp3s used for?
  Fri. 1/6/12 11:33am Brian in UK:

Arse wipes.
  Fri. 1/6/12 11:33am Doug Schulkind:

In case you were thinking of heading off early, the last track of the show is NOT TO BE MISSED. It's a 13-minute monster.
  Fri. 1/6/12 11:34am mp3:

Believe me, I ask myself the same question.
  Fri. 1/6/12 11:34am Ricardo Montalban:

My son is going to Eastern Africa for a year. I am thinking of having him try to score me some music but he knows nothing about music, how to procure it, etc.
  Fri. 1/6/12 11:35am Brian in UK:

This is a great album title.
  Fri. 1/6/12 11:36am Brian in UK:

Lucky dip Ricardo. Something will pitch up. Hope you have a tape machine.
  Fri. 1/6/12 11:36am Doug Schulkind:

Wow Ricardo! Where is he headed? Tanganyika? (I know it doesn't exist anymore, but I just love saying it.)
  Fri. 1/6/12 11:39am Ricardo Montalban:

  Fri. 1/6/12 11:40am Ricardo Montalban:

I think it's got the same kind of cassette culture of other countries in the region. I need to get my kid to pick up stuff at markets, etc.
  Fri. 1/6/12 11:42am Brian in UK:

Doug, I raise you Nyasaland & see you.
  Fri. 1/6/12 11:42am Doug Schulkind:

Djibouti is at the mouth of the Red Sea, no? What a cool place to go.
  Fri. 1/6/12 11:42am Ricardo Montalban:

Like my disastrous attempt to get my mother-in-law to score me interesting music from Finland. She came back with some unbelievably horrid homespun hip hop, which I still have for some reason.
  Fri. 1/6/12 11:44am Doug Schulkind:

Hold onto that Finnish hip hop, Ricardo. It will, like, unbelievably cool in about 25 years.
  Fri. 1/6/12 11:44am Ricardo Montalban:

Yes. It looks lovely! Like a cross between Morocco and Ethiopia. I wouldn't trade places with him, though. Lengthy Army, Civil Affairs clusterfuck.
  Fri. 1/6/12 11:44am Jeff G:

There is also (seemingly) an active trade in "cell phone songs," as perhaps you already know. A SIM card might be all he needs? (see, eg,
  Fri. 1/6/12 11:45am Ricardo Montalban:

YEAH! That's why I have it! In a couple more years, it will age like fine Finnish cheese.

Extra good point, Jeff G.

Been a long time all. Just floating away from my cube here to this CK Mann......

Yeah, Jeff! I recently saw that new comp on Mississippi Records that's all cellphone music from Africa
  Fri. 1/6/12 11:48am Paul Sherratt:

Had a need to see this C K Mann
Wonderful stuff

This track is the best thing I've heard at least since the Yoshiaki Fujikawa number.

The man is off listening to Up With People or some shit. (Fun fact: Glenn Close was a member of Up With People.)

My pleasure, NGH.

Eighty-two-year-old William Litaker ended up with dozens of firefighters at his family-owned property Thursday after the fire spread to a barn, two sheds and the mobile home. Litaker told the Salisbury Post he poured kerosene on the ground and set it on fire. The fire destroyed all four structures.He says he lost antique furniture, tools and farming equipment.

Litaker said he didn't think the fire would spread. He was not hurt.

Two new devices could help save soldiers' lives on the battlefield.

Soldiers put their lives on the line every day, and often, they can't carry much with them. So two new, very portable devices are now helping.

First, there's the tourniquet.

"About 3,000 U.S. military casualties have been saved with the tourniquet since the beginning of the war," said Dr. John Kragh, tourniquet specialist with the U.S. Army Institute of Surgical Research.

While the materials have improved, Kragh said “tourniquets haven’t changed in 2,000 years.”

That's why he and Jose Salinas, manager of intensive care research for the  U.S. Army's Institute for Surgical Research, want to change that.

The new technology is called the "intelligent tourniquet."  It has a pump and sensor system that can be controlled wirelessly.  It can be activated by simply clicking a button.

“It can determine how much pressure it needs based on the limb to stop blood flow.  It will always maintain accurate pressure," explained Salinas, adding that it could be carried by medics or even built into uniforms.

The second new piece of technology is a wireless vital sign monitor that weighs just one pound.

“It’s extremely portable," said Salinas.

It keeps track of basic vitals like heart rate and blood pressure. Wirelessly connect it to a laptop, tablet, or smartphone and you get more detailed readings.

"With this system, you bring the power of a full vital signs monitor to the front lines," explained Salinas.

The wireless vital sign monitor is FDA-cleared and is even available for civilian EMS use, but the device is not yet on the battlefield. Salinas hopes it will be in the next two years.

The intelligent tourniquet is still in the early prototype stage.

Girls Just Wanna Have...Textbooks

Can you imagine starting school each day in a classroom with few if any girls? Or having to fight for an opportunity to stay in school? For girls around the world, this is a reality. According to the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), 62 million girls around the world are not in school -- and millions more must fight to stay there. A new USAID initiative, called Let Girls Learn hopes to change that.

In the developed world, some may take for granted the opportunity to get an education. But in the developing world, there is no guarantee that this opportunity will exist, especially for young girls. USAID’s “Let Girls Learn” initiative helps the public take action for girls’ education and provides useful tools for learning more about this complicated issue. To support these efforts, USAID is giving US$232 million for new girls’ education programmes in Afghanistan, Jordan, Nigeria and South Sudan, and for existing efforts in Guatemala.

Educating girls can dramatically improve the lives and livelihoods of families and entire communities. For example, USAID’s fact sheet says:

• One more year of education increases a woman’s income by up to 25 percent.

• A girl who has a basic education is three times less likely to contract HIV.

• Children born to educated mothers are twice as likely to survive past the age of 5.

• If all women in sub-Saharan Africa had a secondary education, 1.8 million lives would be saved each year.

There are many ways you can join the campaign and take action for girls’ education, starting with WFP. You can provide school meals to girls by donating or taking our quiz here. School meals not only provide students with nutrition needed for a productive day, they also encourage parents to send their daughters to school. Molly is one example of a young girl who has benefited from WFP’s daily meals; check out this short video about her school life here. Find other ways to take action for girls’ education here.

You will find more information at USAID’s Let Girls Learn page. To learn more about the importance of investing in girls, take a look at this infographic. You can share what you learn with your social networks using #LetGirlsLearn, and encourage friends, family and classmates to get involved.

Turning Christmas trees into fish habitats

December 26, 2013

Christmas Tree drop off If you purchased a natural Christmas tree this holiday season, consider recycling it at lakes Hartwell or Thurmond. The fish will thank you. The Army Corps of Engineers is collecting used, natural Christmas trees to enhance fish habitat at the lakes. The trees will be tied in bundles, weighted with concrete anchors, and submerged in various locations marked with buoys. According to Jamie Sykes, fisheries’ biologist, the submerged trees provide cover for fish and enhance nursery habitat for juvenile fish. Among locations where trees can be dropped off are the Coneross boat ramp in Oconee County and the Twin Lakes boat ramp in Pickens County.

WGRZ celebrates 60 years of serving Buffalo!

BUFFALO, NY - Western New York's number one television news source is celebrating a milestone today, by marking our 60th anniversary

WGR-TV signed on August 14, 1954, from the studios at 184 Barton Street.

WGR-TV became Buffalo's outlet for NBC, with shows by Bob Hope, Milton Berle, Sid Caesar, Steve Allen, Ernie Kovacs, Buffalo Bob Smith and "Howdy Doody."

In 1972, WGR-TV left Barton Street and moved into its current facilities at 259 Delaware Avenue. General Cinema Corp. purchased WGR-TV in 1983, and the station's call letters were changed to WGRZ. The Z was chosen because it looked like a 2.

In 1997, WGRZ was acquired by Gannett Broadcasting, which still owns the station today. WGRZ is known in WNY as the station that is 'On Your Side'. We stand up for Western New York by holding people in positions of power accountable to get things done and keep their promises. We celebrate what's great about our community and the people that live in it, our love of family and heritage, our sports teams, our architecture, and of course our great food.

The 2 On Your Side team has won countless regional Emmy awards, Edward R. Murrow awards, and several local and national awards for our reporting and community service as a station.

To celebrate, Channel 2 is passed out 222 free cupcakes from Dessert Deli at our booth at the Erie County Fair at precisely 2:22 pm.

Watch our special look back at the history of WGRZ-TV by 2 on Your Side Reporter Dave McKinley and Chief Photojournalist Andy DeSantis by clicking on the video player. Follow Dave on Twitter: @DaveMcKinley2

Channel 2 gratefully acknowledges the assistant of Marty Biniasz and Forgotten Buffalo with this story.

Whenever I bump into Jonathan Miller knocking about Camden Town he looks, and then sounds, unutterably sad. His long face droops and he starts bemoaning the fact that he's never invited to direct at the National, or the ENO, any more, that he's regarded as old hat and passe, and that he's much happier working in Santa Fe or Florence anyway.

And next year he'll unexpectedly be joining Barrie Rutter's Northern Broadsides in Halifax to direct Githa Sowerby's Rutherford and Son, which sounds more like a penance than a preferment.

But even his moans are tinged with laughter, and it doesn't take much to get him shooting off in some wonderful satirical direction with a funny voice or a scathing critique. One of his favourite cries, when Irving Wardle was the Times critic, was, "How's old Irving these days? Still fidgeting away on the aisle in his anorak, is he? A severe case of anoraksia nervosa, I always thought!"

This gift for sharp, witty brilliance, along with many other gifts, was much on display in last weekend's BBC Arena profile. Miller's virtues were proclaimed by old school friends (neurologist Oliver Sacks and bookseller Eric Korn) and professional colleagues (Penelope Wilton, Roger Norrington and Eric Idle), and there were illuminating passages on his never-bettered Alice in Wonderland television film, his Horizon programme with a Parkinson's sufferer, and how he got Olivier to hop about like Hitler when his Shylock first learned about Antonio's losses at sea.

But where was Alan Bennett? These oldest of friends and closest of neighbours did have a falling out some time ago, and Bennett wouldn't have celebrated or even smiled much at Miller's acceptance of a knighthood, but I can't imagine they are no longer sitting in each others' Gloucester Crescent kitchens every other day.

Maybe we'll learn more about this when Kate Bassett's long-awaited biography is finally published. Meanwhile, the TV film was pretty good and allowed plenty of time for Miller to expatiate on his pet enthusiasms: the "after-life" of art, his own delight in "found" objects and abstract art, neurological analysis of acting, wandering around markets and museums in Florence, talking.

Even at the age of 77, and only slightly stooping, there's no containing him. And he still wears jeans without looking ridiculous, blending them with his perennial smart casual old-style Brooks Brothers look of sports jackets, corduroy and dark blue sweaters.

With a new Long Day's Journey Into Night opening next week, it was fascinating to revisit his 1986 production which featured Jack Lemmon and Kevin Spacey, and which used overlapping dialogue not just to speed up the play, but also to emphasise the fact that these family rows were a daily ritual that had been going on for years.

As so often with Miller, he started with an antagonistic stance towards the work -- he was having nothing to do with its status as the American theatre's classic "Greek" tragedy -- and found ways of feeding that anatgonism into a revelatory creative process.

Oddly, while the Long Day's Journey segment was on the screen, the soundtrack of Leonard Bernstein's Candide was playing, unexplained (Miller did in fact direct the musical, two years later, for Scottish Opera, and at the Old Vic).

But otherwise this was an almost perfect film, marvellously conveying the richness of Miller's life and intellect. There's absolutely no-one else like him in our theatre and that's partly because Miller doesn't really "belong" in the theatre; he swoops on it with all the freshness and spontaneity of an anarchic maverick, spreading ideas and joy like a subversive visiting professor.

He talked a lot in the film about "yielding" to show business, as though he'd been diverted from his true path in medicine and neuropsychology by lines of flirtatious chorines in fishnet tights and "Larry" Olivier giving him a toybox.

But Oliver Sacks put it best in saying that Miller had, in effect, never left medicine, but had been compelled to go in many directions at once by the sheer vivacity of his outlook and interests.

One of the things Miller is most brilliant at, almost uniquely, is transferring a play or an opera to another period, perhaps the one in which it was actually written as opposed to the one in which it was set by the writer or composer.

And he's also been inspirational in moving operas into a modern setting that clicks perfectly all the way through. The best of these were at the ENO: the 1940s war-time Tosca, the "Little Italy" Rigoletto (in which the duke hit the juke-box) and the black and white 1920s The Mikado in which, as the Arena film aptly illustrated, the Mikado's great entrance scene was almost entirely lifted from the Marx Brothers' Duck Soup; Miller's starting point was, "I wanted nothing at all to do with all that Japanese rubbish."

These productions came to mind again as, earlier this week, I watched the Young Vic revival of Patrick Marber's brilliant, Miller-esque transposition of Strindberg's Miss Julie from a steamy Swedish midsummer's revel to the night of the Labour Party election landslide in 1945.

Everything in After Miss Julie clicks perfectly into place in Natalie Abrahami's production, and Natalie Dormer and Kieran Bew carry a weight of class-imbued sexual warfare into their scenes of humiliation and control that casts a nostalgic/prophetic shadow over the whole post-war era.

And then you think back to those classic Miller productions at the Old Vic twenty years ago -- Racine's Andromache, Chapman's Bussy D'Ambois, the Eric Porter King Lear, Candide, Corneille's The Liar, and the designs of Richard Hudson, and the other wonderful shows by Richard Jones -- and, yes, they were all much more exciting and interesting than anything done on Spacey's watch -- until, I reckon, the very latest, The Duchess of Malfi.

Which is not to decry the terrific revival of Michael Frayn's Noises Off, which transferred triumphantly to the Novello last night. But we already knew Noises Off was a treasurable play. No great surprises there, and no great challenge (except, of course, to the actors).

And no resting on laurels, either: not only has director Lindsay Posner fine-tuned his own production to a very high degree of delirious efficiency; Michael Frayn brought along the play's previous directors, Michael Blakemore and Jeremy Sams, to sit in the first night stalls and ponder what might still be done to tidy up the always slightly unsatisfactory third act. Perhaps he should call up Jonathan Miller, too.

Sick Day Banana Bread Recipe

Banana bread recipe

One of the hardest parts about taking care of my daughter when she's sick is finding ways to keep her entertained. My Sick Day Banana Bread recipe always comes in handy when she's too sick to go out...but bouncing off the walls inside the house.

You wouldn't believe my little one has a high fever when you see her — nothing can hold her back from playing. Spending a sick day at home means finding plenty of activities to keep her busy and entertained. To break up the monotony, I always try to come up with a fun craft or games we can play. But when I'm at a loss, my go-to activity is baking yummy banana bread together. My daughter loves to help — her favorite part is mashing the bananas, perfect for a little person with a very short attention span! Carbs seem to be one of my daughter's favorite foods when she isn't feeling well, so this banana bread recipe always gets devoured.

  • 3 to 4 ripe bananas
  • 1/2 cup applesauce
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • Cooking spray

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Mash the bananas in a large bowl — I give my daughter a potato masher, which is easy for her to use.
  3. Add all the other ingredients to the bowl and mix well (I like to use a hand mixer to make sure it's all blended well).
  4. Grease a 9x5 loaf pan with cooking spray and pour in the batter. Bake for an hour. Stick a fork or toothpick in to check if it's ready (it should come out clean if the bread is done).

What are some of your favorite activities to do with your toddler on a day stuck indoors?

General chat and talk about whisky. on you mobile phone ?

Postby Matt2 » Fri Jan 20, 2006 5:16 pm

Does anyone here ever browse websites on their mobile phones or handheld devices ?

What sort of content would you like to see from WM on your mobile. I guess tasting notes would be really handy if you are in a pub drinking whisky.

Postby Aidan » Fri Jan 20, 2006 5:26 pm

Yeah, tasting notes would be interesting. Maybe other info on different brands etc. If you were in a shop and saw something, this could be a resource.

Sorry Matt, but if I was in a pub drinking whisky (which I often am) I would know what it tasted like and would not need notes.

It's a nice idea but I suspect that it would appeal to too few users to justify it. I'm not sure what the take up has been on WAPs etc but I don't think they've taken off as much as was expected.

I use a PC everyday at work and to be honest it's good to get away from technology for a bit - particularly when supping whisky!

I suggest that the bars that sell whisky where tasting notes might be useful would, in fact, supply a menu and the bar staff would probably be fairly knowledgable as well. Most bars, however, don't deviate from the bog standards of which most readers will be familiar.

I'm all for progress but I think this sort of application has to be accessible by a wider audience. It would make more sense to have a "tasting hotline".

Hi Matt,
as some have already suggested, this looks like a good idea, but it is not one I would see myself using.

Although I do have a mobile telephone (called "Handy" here in Germany) I use it rarely and hate the trend towards the mobile telephone culture of today.
I am sorry, but in this case I proudly wear my "Luddite" badge.

I am on the 'No' bandwagon too.. Have the use of it but find the whole thing pointles so just don't bother any more. Used to use it for sports results an that was about all and even that was hard work. Now I never use it.
As said previously I use my pc eery day so have all I need.

Sorry Mat

Last man standing

In the latest of our series charting lost distilleries,Gavin Smith looks at Northern Ireland's Coleraine

The County Londonderry town of Coleraine is located just eight miles from Bushmills, the only surviving distillery in Northern Ireland,and Coleraine was the last distillery in Ireland to cease production, operating from the early 1820s until 1978.

During the mid-18th century, the Coleraine area was home to a thriving legal distilling industry, but the 1779 Distilling Act, which inadvertently discouraged the licensed distillation of high quality spirit, and the enduring popularity of illicitly-distilled poitin meant that by the early years of the 19th century, all legal whiskey-making in Coleraine had ceased.

Then, around 1820, a mill in Newmarket Street,Coleraine, owned by John Rennie was converted into a distillery,though records of its early history are sketchy. It began to produce whiskey some time after 1822,and in 1838 the distillery was purchased by Michael Ferrar.By 1845 the highly regarded Coleraine ‘make'was to be found in the bars of the House of Commons.

After operating the distillery for a decade, Ferrar sold it on to James Moore, who already owned the town's Bann distillery,and following Moore's death in 1868 the distillery passed into the ownership of local businessman Robert Taylor.

At the time when Alfred Barnard visited Coleraine in the 1880s, output was a comparatively modest 100,000 gallons a year,and the spirit was aged for the lengthy period of 10 years.The wash still had a capacity of 2,700 gallons and the two spirit stills held a mere 550 gallons ...

Support, not sneers, needed

GINGERBREAD, the parenting organisation, kicked off a recent campaign about fighting the prejudice faced by single parents.

A great initiative which is long over-due. It is too easy, too lazy and too bigoted to write off those doing the hardest job in the world – on their own. Surely it is time the sneering tone was banished whenever the term “single mother’’ is uttered.

Only the dangerously smug would feel superior to women who, for whatever reason, find themselves caring solely for children. Having a partner doesn’t make you a better mother, it just offers the opportunity for more help.

And let’s be honest, it’s single MOTHERS who are judged, not single fathers who are regularly viewed as heroes by society when they bring their own children up. Think of the fuss made about Father of the Year contest. Man receives medal for washing clothes, plaiting daughter’s hair and not moaning endlessly about it.

Meanwhile, across the country, millions of women are doing exactly the same only, instead of being praised for their commitment and dedication, are harangued by Daily Mail readers and those so blinded by their own self-righteousness they won’t know a single mother if she jumped up and punched them in the face.

Single fathers are also admired for giving up their careers to care for their children, regarded as making the ultimate sacrifice for the good of his kids. While single mothers are deemed as “lazy spongers’’ for not wishing to stress themselves to death finding a job which allows them to leave in time for school pick-ups and school holidays.

Mothers in general find themselves damned for whatever choices they make, but somehow the single mother, not having a male in her life, is viewed as the worst. (Oh, by the way, as society happily lays all the evils of the world at the feet of single mothers, where are all the fathers?)

Single mothers aren’t a breed apart from the rest of us. They are our sisters, friends, cousins, daughters, a cross-section of women who are simply caring for their kids the very best they can. These are the women who are bringing up a generation in tough times; they need our support, not our condemnation.

Treatment and care

Standard antiretroviral therapy (ART) consists of the combination of at least three antiretroviral (ARV) drugs to maximally suppress the HIV virus and stop the progression of HIV disease. Huge reductions have been seen in rates of death and suffering when use is made of a potent ARV regimen, particularly in early stages of the disease.

Since 2013, WHO also recommends the ARV use for the prevention of HIV infection, particularly for pregnant women, young children, and key populations exposed to HIV risk. Countries are now following to adapt and implement these recommendations within own epidemiological settings.

WHO is also working to improve scaling up of ARV use in developing countries by optimizing drugs and diagnostics and enhancing community engagement.

In Tiny Ear Bones, the Life Story of a Giant Bluefin Tuna

SHARE THIS:   TOOLS: print this page

The Atlantic bluefin tuna, Thunnus thynnus, is one of the fastest, most powerful and most beautiful of fish. It is also the most expensive. Highly prized by sushi connoisseurs, a single giant fish of 1,400 pounds may sell for $40,000.

The tuna’s high price has led the fishery to the brink of collapse. In 1981, in response to declining numbers of tuna, the International Commission for Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) introduced a strict management policy for Atlantic bluefin that rapidly developed into one of the most controversial and politically charged issues in fisheries management.

The policy controversy, familiar to both commercial and recreational New England fishermen, centers on the assumption that there are two discrete and independent North Atlantic populations. The two populations are arbitrarily divided into eastern and western territories at the 45°W meridian. Each presumed stock is subject to different management restrictions, the most striking of which is the imposition of a strict, near-zero harvest quota for the western stock and the absence of country-specific quotas for the eastern stock.

There is considerable debate concerning the appropriateness of the two-stock division because evidence is lacking to support its two key assumptions. The first is that eastern and western tuna populations reproduce separately in separate spawning grounds, with western fish spawning in the Gulf of Mexico and eastern fish in the Mediterranean. The second is that the tuna populations do not migrate across the Atlantic and intermingle.

A large research effort is currently underway to test these assumptions by tracking the movements of individual fish across the North Atlantic and studying their spawning behavior. Much of this effort—led by Barbara Block of Stanford University and Molly Lutcavage of the New England Aquarium—has involved the use of sophisticated pop-up satellite tags.

Pop-up satellite tags currently have limited life-spans, ranging perhaps from months to years. At Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, we are investigating the feasibility of using chemical signatures in the otoliths, or ear bones, of giant fish to obtain information about trans-Atlantic migrations, stock mixing, and spawning habitats. The entire and detailed life history, from birth to death, of a giant 30-year-old bluefin is contained within a single otolith, or ear bone, less than one inch long.

Our approach is based on the premise that differences in water chemistry and temperature experienced by fish during their oceanic travels will be recorded as distinct and predictable changes in the trace elements of aragonite, the mineral that makes up the otolith. This approach differs from most previous otolith studies in our use of microbeam technology to track chemical changes at weekly to daily resolution, within a single ear bone.

Using the micron-scale sampling capabilities of the Cameca 3f ion microprobe and techniques developed to study coral skeletons, we have been able to analyze the chemical composition of the primordium, a region of otolith just 20 microns in diameter. The primordium forms when the fish is still in the larval stage, and its chemical composition contains a record of where the fish was born.

Our initial results are promising and show that we may be able to use chemical signatures in the primordium to distinguish different populations of bluefin tuna—in their first years of life when the primordium is being formed. With conventional bulk sample analyses, we are not able to distinguish between different stages (i.e. larval, juvenile, adult) of otolith formation. By contrast, our approach gives us the ability to reconstruct the life history of the fish from birth to death.

Because we can obtain a daily, rather than an average, record of the tuna’s travels, we may be able to tell when, during the tuna’s long life, it swam in which waters. We can potentially discern whether the tuna was born in the west and migrated east, or was born in the east and migrated west, instead of knowing only that it was in both areas sometime during its life. This will improve our ability to manage populations of this magnificent fish.

Chemical clues within the 2-centimeter-long ear bones of bluefin tuna are giving scientists the ability to track which waters the fish swam in and reconstruct their life histories. (Illustration by E. Paul Oberlander, WHOI)

Students React To Alleged Murder For Hire Plot

More Video...

The alleged plan to murder four people at Topeka West High School has Topeka West students reacting on social media.

"I couldn't believe it. I really couldn't like I thought it was all a joke on Facebook. I thought people were just messing around but then when I came to school I thought oh my gosh I've seen it all over Facebook and everyone's talking about him," said Topeka West senior, Dakota Iott.

Topeka West High graduate Kazyon Coplin says Wednesday's news was unexpected.

"I don't really know him. I never really heard about him, but West doesn't seem like the type of place where that would happen. I mean when I went there it was a good school," says Coplin.

"He's nice, funny, class clown pretty much make fun of people, smart back to the teacher, didn't listen, didn't do a lot of work, copied a lot of people," says Iott.

USD 501 Director of Communications Ron Harbaugh told 13 News some reports that Topeka West was on lock down Wednesday afternoon were false. He did tell us teachers delayed the students' lunch hour by a few minutes to read a news brief about the situation.

"I think its good they prevented it from happening so no one would get hurt as far as people getting scared to go there -no not really," said Coplin.

"No not at all I'm not scared to go to this school its safe. There's a lot of cops the buildings are locked, its safe to me," says Iott.

Union Reaches Tentative Agreement With Goodyear

More Video...

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW)-- A tentative local labor agreement has been reached between Goodyear and United Steelworkers Local 307, union officials confirmed Friday.

Steelworkers Local 307 issued a 72-hour strike notice earlier that would have expired at 1:00 p.m. Friday.

The tentative agreement will have to be approved by a union vote. A spokeperson for the union said dates and times for the vote would be scheduled after a meeting of the union's board.

Until the agreement is finalized, operations continue as normal.

Both Local 307 President Robert Tripp and Topeka Plant Spokesperson Whitney Watson said Thursday that both sides were working to reach agreement on their local contract.

A master contract covering six Goodyear plans was approved this summer -- but separate agreements spell out specifics for each location.

Tripp says that includes things like work rules, scheduling and vacation language.

Watson says four plants have approved their local agreements -- Topeka and Danville, Virginia have not.

Obit: Quell, Andrew H. (1872 - 1928)

----Source: THORP COURIER (Thorp, Clark County, Wis.) 02/09/1928

Quell, Andrew H. (5 Sep 1872 - 4 Feb 1928)

Mr. Andrew H. Quell died at his farm home in the town of Reseburg, Clark County, Wis. Saturday morning at 3 a.m., of heart disease, which has been bothering him for some time. Mr. Quell was born Sept. 5, 1872 at Burlington, Iowa. It was there he spent all his life, save the six years in Thorp.

Mr. Quell leaves to mourn his loss, his devoted wife and five children and one grandchild. Three of the children lived at home, Harry, Emily and Roy. Grace, or Mrs. Dukowen, and her husband, Martin, of Baraboo, came with the baby tot he funeral. Harley came from Port Washington.

It was always Mr. Quell's saying, "If I have any flowers coming, I want them while I am alive, not when I am dead." Mrs. Quell had many plants about the home and Mr. Quell so enjoyed them.

Mr. Quell was taken to his old home where he had longed to be. There he wished to take his final rest.

Mr. Quell was liked by all, and often helped his neighbors in threshing and filling silos.

The funeral was from the home. Mr. Bennetts gave the sermon. The text was "Behold, I Come Quickly." The members Methodist choir sang Mr. Quell's favorite songs, "Nearer My God to Thee," and Beautiful Isle of Somewhere." Mrs. B. R. Rusch sang "Face to Face."

Mrs. Quell and Harry accompanied the body to Burlington, Iowa for burial Monday morning.

Mr. Quell leaves a host of friends and will be missed by all.

A Let’s Play (LP) is a video or picture series of someone playing a video game and making commentary about it. There are two types of Let’s Play—screenshot and video. This guide focuses on how to make a video LP.

  1. 1
    Choose a game. Like Red Dead Redemption or, Little Big Planet.
    • Pick a game you’re good at and love playing.
    • Avoid games that are used frequently for LP’s, like Minecraft, Super Mario 64, or Slender. An over-saturated audience is a bored audience. You also run the risk, which gets higher the more well-known the game, of your LP video getting lost in the mix.
    • Avoid repetitive games.
  2. 2
    Find the best way to record your videos.
    • For recording PC games, you’ll want to get a video capture program. A few examples are listed below.
      • Free Downloads: D3DGear, Camstudio, and Fraps (free version only records for limited time and uses a watermark on the video). Macs come built in with Quicktime Player, so that's cool.
      • If you want better production values and features, consider purchasing something like Camtasia.
      • On most of the operating systems utilising X Window System (e.g. Linux based systems, BSD software distributions, possibly Macs) you can use ffmpeg with vcodec x11grab to capture part of your desktop. It can get pretty technical, though, since ffmpeg is operated via a terminal.
    • To capture footage from a video game console, you’ll need a capture card, a video card with video inputs, a DVD recorder, a FireWire/USB converter, or a camcorder with AV inputs that you can connect directly to the console.
    • To record the best audio, use an audio editor like Audacity and a decent microphone.
      • Don’t talk with your mouth too close to the microphone. Your voice will sound muffled or distorted.
      • 'Live-commentary' (creating commentary while playing the game) is difficult - especially if doing a 'blind' run. If your commentary is not confident or easily turns to dead air, consider 'Post-commentary' (recording the game footage, performing editing and then adding the commentary) instead. Note that post-commentary can also be in a text form.
  3. 3
    Record an introduction.
    • Greet the viewer, tell them your screen-name, and give a brief summary of what is going to happen in the video.
    • Giving a brief recap of what happened in the last video can also be included.
    • Keep the introduction short.
  4. 4
    Be engaging while playing the game.
    • Have a sense of humor, especially when you make a mistake.
    • Share useful tips or hacks.
    • Don’t simply recite what is happening on the screen but still pay attention to the game itself. Also do not go long periods without talking.
    • Take the narrative approach by creating your own story or sub-story.
    • If you’re having fun, chances are your audience will have fun as well.
  5. 5
    Record a conclusion.
    • Pick an appropriate place to end the video; do not end in the middle of a cut-scene or fight.
    • Give a quick summary of what is going to happen in the next video.
  6. 6
    Edit your video.
    • Windows Movie Maker (for Windows PC) or iMovie (for Mac) provide some basic features, but getting a more extensive video editing program is recommended.
    • Cut out excessive mistakes or deaths.
    • Make sure your commentary is in sync with the video.
    • Watch the video through after editing to make sure there are no problems.
  7. 7
    Upload your video.
    • Websites like YouTube, blip.tv, Veoh, and Dailymotion are great places to upload your videos. You can also upload your videos to your website or blog.
    • Watch the video after uploading to make sure everything uploaded correctly. If not, re-upload the video or re-encode, if necessary.
    • Take pride in the quality of your work. Never upload or keep a video that has obvious problems.
    • Consider using a program to compress your video, like x264, DivX, MediaCoder, AVISynth, etc. If done right, there is little impact to video quality and it reduces file size, upload time, and space used on your hard drive.
  8. 8
    Join a Let’s Play message board or community and spread the word about your video.
    • Posting your video to a Let’s Play community allows you to get helpful feedback.
    • You can learn new and useful information from message boards and other players.

Thanks for helping! Please tell us everything you know about
Tell us everything you know here. Remember, more detail is better.
Provide Details.
Please be as detailed as possible in your explanation. Don't worry about formatting! We'll take care of it. For example:
Don't say: Eat more fats.
Do say: Add fats with some nutritional value to the foods you already eat. Try olive oil, butter, avocado, and mayonnaise.

  • In-game sounds may be quiet or loud compared to your voice. Use Audacity or your audio recording program of choice to record your voice separately. Your voice should be a little louder than in-game audio.
  • Avoid simply aiming a camera at a TV screen or computer monitor to record your video. The quality of your video will most likely be poor, especially if you're doing a LP with a handheld console.
  • Keep the audience interested and involved, maybe ask them a few questions or do a Q&A session.
  • Hard games may need a lot of editing to get the filler out.
  • Don't upload a video if you think it is boring. Instead re-record the gameplay and/or redo the commentary
  • The best length for videos is 10-25 minutes,depending on the game and video content. If the video runs a lot longer, then it is probably best to split the video into two or more parts.
  • Do not talk over dialogue in video games with voice-acting unless you are good at riffing on (mocking or making jokes using) the in-game cut-scenes.
  • Crop videos to remove the computer desktop, emulator window, or letterbox borders. This can be done easily with the free program Virtualdub.
  • Do not re-size the aspect ratio of the video.
  • If doing post commentary, do not act as if it is live commentary unless you happen to be a good actor. Acting as if your commentary is done live can come across as fake very easily.
  • Avoid doing a 'blind' Let's Play unless you have a lot of experience and know you are capable of being funny or interesting 'on the fly'.
  • Do not upload a video in HD that has no capability of taking advantage of HD - this includes all console games from the Gamecube/Xbox/Playstation 2 and earlier. It only serves to inflate the video file size far beyond what is necessary.
  • If using subtitles instead of audio commentary, make sure the subtitles are readable and stay on the screen long enough to be read.
  • Do not use video capture software that leaves a watermark (such as Unregistered HyperCam 3) on your video. Either pay for full software, find a free version, or use a different program that does not leave a watermark.
  • Singing to background music is not recommended. This takes experience and practice. Note that singing to background music can often be accidentally off-sync to the in-game audio.
  • Do not narrate on-screen text unless you can do a good imitation of that character or have a funny voice for it - your viewers can read for themselves.
  • Try to have some consistency. For an example, people might be put off if you only talk about the game mechanics on one stage, then about the stage itself in the second stage, things you're about to record in the third stage etc..
  • Keep your commentary focused on the game. Do not bring up unrelated topics, like how much you love your cat. (Unless it some-what relates to the content being presented in a manner that adds a unique sense of humor. Going off topic too much diverts your audience.)
  • Use channel art and profile picture on YouTube and put your name in the art.

  • Don't reveal any personal information.

Things You'll Need

  • Computer
  • Enough hard drive space to store videos
  • Internet connection
  • A way to record your video game (see above for details)
  • Audio editing program (see above for details)
  • Microphone
  • Video game
  • Video editing program
  • Enough monthly bandwidth to upload large videos

Ever wish there was more you could do with a USB stick other than saving or copying files? Like get it to make you breakfast, take the dog for a walk, or do all your school assignments? Well….you can’t!! But instead, you can install a portable operating system that you can run on just about any computer anywhere you go. This operating system known as Linux, will also allow you to run portable versions of your favourite software and applications.

This instructional will include the required steps to successfully install Linux Ubuntu v11.10, along with screenshots. After installing the OS, I will be explaining where to locate portable versions of preferred programs, and how to install them.

Having this tool in the palm of your hand I believe is very beneficial. It can be used especially when your host operating system on your desktop has crashed, or when you’re away from your home computer. Linux on USB gives users the option of taking their preferred applications with them, without the headache of installing everywhere they go.

  1. 1
    Download the desired software. Using your computer go to the following link and download the latest recommended version of Ubuntu at http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download. Select start download in the large orange box on your screen. Make sure to save the file somewhere you’ll remember for easy access later. The download time will vary depending on the speed of your specific internet connection.
  2. 2
    Download the pendrive installer. After the Ubuntu operating system has been downloaded follow the link provided to obtain the USB installer for Ubuntu. http://www.pendrivelinux.com/downloads/Universal-USB-Installer/. Locate and click the download button. Save this file in the same place as the first file.
  3. 3
    Now plug in your flash drive and make a backup of the files on the device in case of accidental deletion. Once you’ve completed the desired backup locate the USB Ubuntu installer file downloaded earlier and double click to run it.
  4. 4
    Review the license agreement and select "I Agree".
  5. 5
    First select Ubuntu 11.10 from the distribution version drop down menu. Second click "Browse" and select the Ubuntu ISO file previously downloaded. Third select your USB flash drive letter. After completing the previous steps select "Create".
  6. 6
    When the installer completes, select close and reboot your computer.
  7. 7
    Enter the BIOS. When the machine reboots, hit the delete key to enter the BIOS. (Delete, F2) are two of the most common keys to enter the BIOS. Choose the correct key according to your specific machine. In the bios menu locate the boot order settings. Change the machines boot order to boot off the USB or removable device first. Save and exit the BIOS. (Caution altering additional settings in the BIOS can cause hardware issues)
  8. 8
    The computer will restart and take you to a new screen with options for running and installing Ubuntu. Since we have already installed Ubuntu to the flash drive simply select run Ubuntu from this USB.
  9. 9
    After installing, be sure to click the "Install Ubuntu" icon if you would like to permanently install Linux onto your computer
  10. 10
    Select the desired type of application or game to install. To search for specific software name use the search box located in the upper right hand corner of the Software Center window. Browsing by application type can also be done in the menu located on the left.
  11. 11
    Once a decision has been made on what to install, simply double click on it and select install. Enjoy your free version of Ubuntu v11.10 and all your favorite applications.
