The AIDS Memorial quilt for Kevin Shank displayed in Washington, D.C.
A well-traveled plantsman with an extensive background in horticulture, Kevin C. Shank left his mark on the NYC community gardening scene. He served as GrowNYC's Gardens Director from 1985-88, and was Vice Chairman of the Green Guerillas, with a heroic dedication towards revitalizing NYC through community gardening. After graduating from SUNY Delhi and Cornell University, Kevin was the Founding Horticulturist at the Pinkerton Garden for the Madison Square Boys & Girls Club in Manhattan. This intergenerational community garden included a state-of-the-art greenhouse and a rigorous after-school program for inner-city kids. After this, Kevin moved on to the Group Live-In Experience Farms, which was the talk of the town in the late 80s in NYC. Growing and packaging fresh herbs for high-end restaurants in a state-of-the-art greenhouses in the South Bronx was unheard of then. Kevin went on to put his expert plantsmanship to good use in his final days as Senior Horticulturist at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, on the Upper West Side. He will be forever remembered as one of the great contributors to the NYC community gardening community.
This fall GrowNYC will build its 100th community garden. To celebrate, we are sharing stories from GrowNYC gardening history!
But these stories are far from over…

caption = "Battle of Spottsylvania" by Kurz and Allison.
The Battle of Spotsylvania Court House, sometimes simply referred to as the Battle of Spotsylvania, was the second battle in Lt. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant's 1864 Overland Campaign of the American Civil War. It was fought in the Rapidan-Rappahannock river area of central Virginia, a region where more than 100,000 men on both sides fell between 1862 and 1864.
The battle was fought May 8–21, 1864, along a trench line some four miles (6.5 km) long, with the Army of Northern Virginia under Gen. Robert E. Lee making its second attempt to halt the spring offensive of the Union Army of the Potomac under the command of Lt. Gen. Grant and Maj. Gen. George G. Meade. Taking place less than a week after the bloody, inconclusive Battle of the Wilderness, it pitted 52,000 Confederate soldiers against a Union army numbering 100,000.
After Lee checked the Union advance in the Wilderness, Grant decided to take advantage of the position he held, which allowed him to slip his army around Lee's right flank and continue to move south toward the Confederate capital of Richmond, Virginia. He already had troops on the move by the night of May 7, just one day after the Wilderness fighting ended, and on May 8, he sent Maj. Gen. Gouverneur K. Warren and his V Corps to take Spotsylvania, 10 miles (16 km) to the southeast. Lee anticipated Grant's move and sent forces to intercept him: cavalry under Maj. Gen. J.E.B. Stuart and the First Corps, commanded by Maj. Gen. Richard H. Anderson (its usual leader, Lt. Gen. James Longstreet, had been wounded in the Wilderness).
The Confederates won the race to Spotsylvania, and on May 9, each army began to take up new positions north of the small town. As Union forces probed Confederate skirmish lines on May 9 to determine the placement of defending forces, Union VI Corps commander Maj. Gen. John Sedgwick was killed by a sharpshooter; he was succeeded by Maj. Gen. Horatio G. Wright. Lee deployed his men in a trench line stretching more than four miles (6.5 km), with artillery placed that would allow enfilade fire on any attacking force. There was only one major weakness in Lee's line—an exposed salient known as the "Mule Shoe" extending more than a mile (1.6 km) in front of the main trench line. Lee recognized this weakness during the fighting of May 10, when twelve Union regiments under the command of Col. Emory Upton followed up a concentrated, intense artillery attack by slamming into the toe of the Mule Shoe along a narrow front. They actually broke the Confederate line, and the Second Corps had a hard time driving them out. Upton's attack won him a promotion on the spot to brigadier general, and it became a staple of military textbooks on how to break an enemy trench line. Similar tactics were used by Germany in Operation Michael, its successful March 1918 offensive during World War I. Other Federal assaults on May 10 were less successful, and the day was generally characterized by uncoordinated frontal assaults that Grant ordered impulsively. Repeated attacks were particularly futile along the Confederate left, where Union General Warren failed many times to storm a position called Laurel Hill.
On May 11, Grant began the planning for a new major assault aimed at the Mule Shoe salient, with the intent of employing Upton's tactics on the level of an entire corps. Lee took Grant's inactivity as a sign that the Federal Army was getting ready to pull back, either for a retreat, or for another sidle to the East, and as a result, he weakened the critical sector of the Mule Shoe by withdrawing its artillery support. Grant's pre-dawn assault on the Mule Shoe on May 12 was initially a complete success. The well-fought II Corps of 20,000 men, commanded by Maj. Gen. Winfield S. Hancock, led the attack against the Mule Shoe in the same manner that Upton had attacked on May 10. This time, the breach in the Confederate line was complete, thanks in part to the absence of Confederate artillery support, but also because many of the Confederates suffered from wet powder in their rifled muskets due to rainfall the night before, and thus found that their guns would not fire. Hancock's II Corps took close to 4,000 prisoners, destroying Edward "Allegheny" Johnson's division of the Confederate Second Corps. Both the divisional commander and one of his brigadier generals were captured. Then the fighting bogged down, in part because Grant had not properly prepared a second wave to take advantage of the success. Anxious to sustain momentum, Grant ordered supporting attacks from Wright's VI Corps, and from the IX Corps of (Maj. Gen. Ambrose E. Burnside), but the attacks were not well coordinated, and failed to recapture the momentum of the attack. Lee was also able to shift thousands of his men to seal the breach, most notably launching a counterattack with Brig. Gen. John Brown Gordon's division, and also securing much help from the able leadership of Brig. Gen. Stephen D. Ramseur.
Because of the severity of the crisis, Lee felt compelled to personally lead soldiers in the counterattack. His men realized the danger this would pose to him, however, and refused to advance until Lee removed himself to a safer position in the rear. The several "Lee to the rear" episodes later became famous, and were a intense example of the personal bond that Lee's soldiers felt for him. The battle in the Mule Shoe lasted for an entire day and night, as the Confederates slowly won back most of the ground they had lost, inflicting heavy losses on the II Corps and on the reinforcing VI Corps in the process. The fighting was characterized by an intensity of firepower never previously seen in Civil War battles, as the entire landscape was flattened, all the foliage destroyed. Both sides, fighting from back and forth over the same corpse-strewn trenches, engaged in hand-to-hand fighting, and there were many descriptions of the field as a morass of corpses, piled so high that wounded men buried underneath them were pressed down into the mud, where they drowned. The angle between the Union II and VI Corps became known as the "Bloody Angle of Spotsylvania", where perhaps some of the most savage fighting of the whole Civil War took place.
By 3 a.m. on May 13, the ruined remnants of Lee's Second Corps had finished construction on a fallback line at the base of the Mule Shoe salient, and Lee had his battered men retire behind it. More than 10,000 men fell in the Mule Shoe, which passed to the Union forces without a fight. On May 18, Grant sent two of his corps to attack the new line, but they were met with a bloody repulse. That convinced Grant, who had vowed to "fight it out on this line if it takes all summer," that Lee's men could not be dislodged from their Spotsylvania line.
Grant, checked by Lee for a second time, responded as he had two weeks earlier. He shifted the weight of his army to the right flank and again moved to the southeast along roads Lee was unable to block. By May 20–21, the two armies were on their way to take positions along the North Anna River, another dozen miles closer to Richmond.
Once again, Lee's tactics had inflicted severe casualties on Grant's army. This time, the toll was over 18,000 men, of which close to 3,000 were killed. In two weeks of fighting, Grant had lost 35,000 men, and another 20,000 went home when their enlistments ended. In fact, Grant at one point on the North Anna had fewer than 65,000 effectives. But Lee did not come out of these battles unscathed, either. At Spotsylvania, he lost another 10–13,000 men, and the Confederates had to pull men away from other fronts to reinforce him. Making matters worse, the army was taking heavy losses among its veteran units and its best officers. This may have saved Grant from a disaster on the North Anna, when his decimated army was positioned badly and was ripe to be attacked. Lee never did, because the Army of Northern Virginia was unable to do so. In fact, Lee's army would never regain the initiative it lost in those two weeks of May 1864.
Portions of the Spotsylvania Court House battlefield are now preserved as part of Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania National Military Park.

Droughtlander ended a month early for the lucky fans who made it to Starz' Outlander panel at the New York Comic Con. Starz surprised the audience with a screening of season four's first episode followed by a panel featuring Sam Heughan ("Jamie Fraser"), Caitriona Balfe ("Claire Randall Fraser"), Sophie Skelton ("Brianna Randall"), Richard Rankin ("Roger Wakefield"), writer/executive producer Ronald D. Moore, and executive producer Maril Davis. Outlander author Daiana appearance at the panel was another surprise for New York Comic Con Outlander fans.
If you weren't able to attend NYCC, then you'll have to patiently wait for the season four premiere on November 4, 2018. However, Starz did bring the fourth season's "Americana-themed" title credits online for fans to check out.
"Season Four of Outlander continues the story of time-traveling 20th century doctor Claire Fraser and her 18th century Highlander husband Jamie Fraser as they try to make a home for themselves in colonial America. We find the Frasers in North Carolina, in a place called Fraser's Ridge at yet another turning point in history – the cusp of the American Revolution. As Claire and Jamie build their life together in the rough and dangerous backcountry of North Carolina, they must negotiate a tenuous loyalty to the current British ruling class, despite Claire's knowledge of the bloody rebellion to come.
"Book Three picks up right after Claire (Balfe) travels through the stones to return to her life in 1948. Now pregnant with Jamie's (Heughan) child, she struggles with the fallout of her sudden reappearance and its effect on her marriage to her first husband, Frank (Tobias Menzies).

[Home] [Blog] [Construction of an early-warning radar in Vorkuta]
Construction of an early-warning radar in Vorkuta
On 24 September 2015 Russia launched a construction of an early-warning radar node, reportedly of the Voronezh-M type, near Vorkuta. The radar, which has been in the plans since at least 2013, will probably replace the old Daryal radar in Pechora. Apparently the new radar node will include two radars, located at some distance from each other.
The exact location of the new radars is not known - the terrain there is really flat, which makes geolocation a bit difficult. A video shot from a local TV story can provide a clue, though:
The smokestack on the background appears to be the power station in Severny, near Vorkuta, which means that the radar is likely to be to the north-west from that place. Indeed, according to one report, the radar is built "a few kilometers from Vograshor", which is exactly there.
UPDATE: The other candidate for the smokestack - Pechora Power Station, would have placed the new radar site somewhere to the East of the old Daryal radar. But it was eliminated thanks to artjomh.
[Early warning] [October 14, 2015] [#]
The construction of the early-warning radar in Vorkuta that began in September 2015 has made enough progress to be visible from space. Sean O'Connor located the radar site on a June 2016 Google Earth image. Click on the image above...
[The radar in Vorkuta geolocated] [August 26, 2016 11:00 AM] [#]
This article here (http://www.komiinform.ru/news/127560/) places the installation "several km from the town of Vorshagor", which would be closer to Vorkuta than Pechora.

Thank you! So, it is the Severny power station. I'll update the entry.

How the NCAA can make the College Football Playoff even better
July 18, 2016 November 1, 2017 by Best Damn Sports Site Period, posted in Archives
Today's NCAA College Football Playoff is one of the most exciting changes to the sports landscape in years and has the potential to be the largest source of income for the NCAA. Seen by most as a vast improvement over the outdated BCS system, the playoff can finally bring a sense of parity to the college football landscape. However, the viewership in 2016 decreased by 36 percent, so there is always room for improvement. I believe the following changes would maximize revenue for the NCAA, while also bringing a sense of parity among the Power 5 Conferences.
Bringing change to the College Football Playoff system has to start with scheduling differences among the conferences. Within the Power 5 conferences, there are several different formats that the conferences have to adhere to. For example, the Big 12 plays every school within the conference without divisions, SEC schools throw in "cupcake" games against FCS opponents, and the Big Ten has recently changed to a nine game conference schedule without FCS opponents. Within my newly proposed system, the Power 5 programs would be required to play only other Power 5 schools… including Independent FBS schools like Notre Dame. It would completely separate the FBS schools from the FCS schools and would increase competition within all five conferences in hopes of achieving more parity in college football. An example of a Big Ten Schedule would be nine conference games plus an SEC, Pac 12 and ACC opponent.
The ultimate motivating factor within the NCAA is the same as any other organization—money. In order to maximize the potential earning by increasing interest and national viewership, I propose increasing the CFP to eight teams. These eight teams would be decided as follows: seeds 1-5 are the conference champions ranked according to the AP poll with three "wild card" bids going to the next highest ranked teams that didn't win their conference. (I know what you're thinking… YES, Notre Dame would have to join a conference). With the conferences having similar schedules, the College Football Playoff would be able to reward teams based on record, as opposed to the current system of the committee picking the teams to enter the College Football Playoff. Having a guaranteed playoff contender from each conference would solidify the viewership from every region of the country and ultimately drive up ratings nationwide.
The final step in increasing and maintaining the viewership of the College Football Playoff would be to give the Playoffs its own separate entity, separate from the College Bowl Season. This change would increase the presence of the CFP, while also maintaining the integrity of the crumbling bowl season. In the 2015-16 bowl season, there were 41 bowls played but only 77 bowl eligible teams (6-6 record or better), so the NCAA had to invite teams with a 5-7 record to fill the empty slots in the remaining bowl games. While the increase in the number of bowls would theoretically increase overall revenue, I propose increasing the bowls for the elite schools at the top… not the bottom. This would involve adding an entire College Football Playoff system, similar to the NFL Playoffs, and have the rest of the teams play in the other bowls. It would maintain the lure of getting into a larger bowl for the teams that may have lost a conference championship game and would also keep "traditional" bowl games with their respective conferences.
For example, the Rose Bowl would be the loser of the Big Ten Championship against the loser of the Pac 12 Championship. Overall, I believe this would increase revenue and competition at the top of the rankings and would remove many of the bowls at the bottom that may need a 5-7 team.
Overall, the CFP has changed NCAA football for the better. It just needs a few more tweaks before reaching its full financial and entertainment potential. With time will come improvement, and I believe it should happen sooner rather than later.

Ultimately all of us have to check the process of purchasing a new vehicle, or at best a fresh vehicle to suit your needs. It doesnt problem in case you are acquiring a brand new vehicle or perhaps a second hand car a few years ancient, you should be well prepared. Dont just head into the nearest vehicle car dealership and talk to the salesman. You should be made and prepared to the several product sales methods that vehicle merchants use.
For anyone who is not made, they should seek to cheat you, or provide you an item you dont even want. Most vehicle salesman are trained to influence you into purchasing a vehicle that you do not need, or seriously doesnt fit you. The great thing that you can do is to cause you to have in mind the their techniques, so that you will obtain the best agreement when you buy a motorcar.

Creating a Living Legacy (CALL) & Voices in Contemporary Art (VoCA) Talk: Christy Rupp
Creating a Living Legacy (CALL)
& Voices in Contemporary Art (VoCA) Talk: Christy Rupp
4 to 6pm
Christy Rupp, Life-size Dodo bird from the series: Extinct Birds Previously Consumed by Humans, 2008. Constructed from Fast Food Chicken Bones & Mixed Media, 33x16x29", Collection of Josh Recknitz.
This program featured a discussion between VoCA (Voices in Contemporary Art) Program Committee member Jonathan Allen and ecological artist Christy Rupp as they reflected on her life, work, and artistic career. This discussion was part of the fourth season of the CALL/VoCA Talks series, hosted in partnership with the Joan Mitchell Foundation's Creating A Living Legacy (CALL) Program.
Jonathan Allen is a multidisciplinary artist working in painting, collage, video, and performance. He often collaborates with poets and choreographers and regularly curates art exhibitions at a community center in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. He is also a member of the VoCA Program Committee. Allen has exhibited extensively in New York, in both private galleries and non-profit art spaces, and has been awarded residencies at the Bogliasco Foundation, Cill Rialaig, BRIC, Blue Mountain Center, and LMCC. In 2019, he will perform in the US tour of Joanna Kotze's What will we be like when we get there. In June 2017, he began INTERRUPTIONS, a series of ad interventions in New York City subway stations that seek to interrupt the language of advertising with imagery from our current political predicament. The project is ongoing and currently viewable on Instagram @JonathanAllenStudio. Learn more at www.jonathanallen.org.
Christy Rupp is an ecoartist whose studies in animal behavior in the 70s led her to become an environmental activist. She was born in upstate New York, too young for Elvis and too old for Barbie.

In remarks to a community banking conference in St. Louis, Yellen said the proposed new rule on capital requirements was the latest effort by regulators to ease burdens on smaller banks. She says the Fed is seeking to increase the number of community banks eligible for less frequent examinations and loosen requirements for property appraisals on commercial real estate transactions.
Yellen has defended the tougher regulations imposed following the 2008 banking crisis but has said there is room to ease regulatory burdens on smaller banks.
"For community banks, which by and large avoided the risky business practices that contributed to the financial crisis, we have been focused on making sure that much-needed improvements to regulation and supervision are appropriate," Yellen told the conference.
During last year's election campaign, Donald Trump attacked the Dodd-Frank Act passed by Congress in 2010 to prevent future crises as a disaster that he said had stifled the economy by limiting bank lending. Yellen, however, has said that the major parts of Dodd-Frank have made the financial system safer and should be retained.

The 2017 College Football Playoff National Championship was a bowl game that was used to determine a national champion of college football in the NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision for the 2016 season. The game was played at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida, on January 9, 2017. It was the culminating game of the 2016–17 bowl season.
The game was played between the winners of two pre-designated bowl games played on December 31, 2016: the Clemson Tigers, who defeated the Ohio State Buckeyes in the Fiesta Bowl, and the Alabama Crimson Tide, who defeated the Washington Huskies in the Peach Bowl. Having met in the previous year's championship game, the resulting title game between Clemson and Alabama became college football's first rematch between #1 and #2 in national championship game history.
The Tigers won the game 35–31 on a go-ahead touchdown with one second left, having come back from a 14–0 deficit earlier in the game. Clemson quarterback and Heisman Finalist Deshaun Watson set the record for most passing yards in a championship game with 420, breaking his own record of 405 yards set in the 2016 national championship game.Deshaun Watson and Ben Boulware were named the Offensive and Defensive Most Valuable Players respectively.

Q: mongodb - create doc if not exist, else push to array I have a document in the following form:
{
"_id" : ObjectId("4d2d8deff4e6c1d71fc29a07"),
"user_id" : "714638ba-2e08-2168-2b99-00002f3d43c0",
"events" : [
        {
                "profile" : 10,
                "data" : "....."
        }
        {
                "profile" : 10,
                "data" : "....."
        }
        {
                "profile" : 20,
                "data" : "....."
        }
        ...
   ]
 }

I'd like to have some sort of upsert statement. It needs to add an event to the events array for user_id in case there is already such doc exist, else it needs to create the doc with the event item.
Can that be done?

A: You can do upserts in Mongo, see "Upserts with Modifiers" from the Mongo doc:

You may use upsert with a modifier
  operation. In such a case, the
  modifiers will be applied to the
  update criteria member and the
  resulting object will be inserted.

The query you need will look like:
db.events.update( { "user_id" : "714638ba-2e08-2168-2b99-00002f3d43c0" },
{ $push : { "events" : { "profile" : 10, "data" : "X"}}}, {"upsert" : true});

Spinach comes as an envelope of seeds since spinach doesn't transplant well.
See full seedling ordering instructions here.
Frost Tolerant, 20-45 days to harvest. Heirloom variety. Sow in early spring or late summer. An old favorite among gardeners. Bloomsdale has excellent flavor. Fall grown leaves are every bit as succulent as spring leaves and baby greens. This is an early 1800's dependable open-pollinated variety. Very nutritious – lots of vitamin A and C and iron. A good container veggie. This seed pack sows up to 37 feet.
When to sow outside (Recommended): 4 to 6 weeks before your average last frost date, or when soil temperature is above 40ºF, ideally 50º to 75ºF.
Successive sowings: Every 3 weeks until 4 weeks before your first fall frost, If mulched spinach can over-winter in sub-zero temperatures. Soil temperatures above 85º halt germination.


What made you happy this week? Every Friday, a group of bloggers (Krysten from Why Girls Are Weird , Lindsay from The Flynnigans and Charlotte from My Pixie Blog ) team up to write about the things that made them happy each week. Every Friday, I think I'm going to do it, and then I forget. So, since it seemed like a long week, I've decided to look on the bright side and tell you about my happy things this week.
I'm not sure if you've seen it circulating around Facebook, but there's been a video about making your own microwave popcorn. I was a little skeptical as to how it would turn out and/or taste, but I followed the instructions and HOORAY my new favorite snack!
Now, don't get me wrong, I've been snacking on popcorn for a while, but it's either the microwave variety or the hot air popper. The microwave is not good for you, and the hot air popper just takes so darn long. Now, all I do is take 1/3 of a cup of kernels, 1 Tsp of Olive oil, and salt mixed in a cup, which I then pour into a brown paper lunch bag (I was a little worried they didn't even sell these anymore since there are all the fancy lunch bags/boxes) and microwave for 2 minutes. I'm still playing around with the time to get the maximum popped with the minimum burnt, but it's still awesome.
We've been members of Amazon Prime for a while now. Beside the free shipping, another fantastic perk is the tons of TV shows. Some of my favorites include Mozart in the Jungle (an Amazon exclusive,) Girls, House of Lies, The Americans, and a brand new season of Orphan Black. Hooray!
I've been waiting not so patiently for season 3 for it seems like years (probably only 6 months or so!) so when it popped up as recently added the other night, I was ecstatic. Especially since I just finished watching The Royals (don't judge. It's ridiculous, but so addicting) entire first season, and I'll have to wait for season 2 for a while.
If you haven't seen Orphan Black, it's really good. It's science fiction, a lot of drama, with a bit of comedy thrown in. I get confused occasionally, but I just can't stop watching.
Mr. B had his Easter Party yesterday. Well, I guess I should call it his "Spring" party, so not to offend.
My husband came home early, so that I could go volunteer at the party. Even though it was sleeting and yucky outside, the party was definitely had a spring feel to it. There was a sack jumping game, a ring toss, terrarium making, and I was in charge of a crazy game of Duck, Duck, Goose.
Everyone then calmed down a bit, only to have snacks and get all sugared up right before coming home. It was nice to drive Mr. B home, instead of waiting for him on the bus. Plus, with the terrible weather, it made me feel safer to have him with me.
Tomorrow, we'll be hunting eggs at my parent's house, and then on Sunday it's off to my husband's brother's house. Needless to say, the kids will be having lots of chocolate in the next two days, which make them very HAPPY.
I've finally got rid of all my sickness, my back injury (for the most part,) and am back to the gym. I actually have been there every day this week. I was even hoping to go today, but I'm not so sure I can convince Mr. B, who is enjoying his first day of Spring Break. I don't think he wants to take off his pajamas…and I can't say I blame him.
While I'm still getting back to my workout groove, I've been feeling pretty good in the classes I've taken. I took a Zumba, a Barre class, and a couple of Boot Camp classes. I'm a little sore, but a good sore.
So, there you have it. The things that made me happy this week. I'm looking forward to a weekend of family, chocolate, and plastic eggs. How about you? What made you happy this week? What are you looking forward to this holiday weekend?
I love the idea of this link up! And awhile ago I started popping my own popcorn on the stovetop – I love that I can control how much oil/salt is used and I don't even need butter!
Exactly! I don't use any butter either.
So glad to see you linking up with us! This is an awesome list–and I keep hearing great things about Orphan Black. I'm kind of meh about science fiction, but I'm intrigued in this case 🙂 Hope you have a great weekend and chat soon, momma!
Believe me, I'm meh about Science Fiction too. I've never gotten into it, but after an episode or two of this and I was hooked. Hope you have a great weekend too!
We're Amazon Prime members now (for about a month) and still haven't taken advantage of the viewing!
You really should…tons of great shows!
Great things to be happy about! I just did yoga for the first time in months this morning, I forgot how working out makes me so happy!
Easter is my favorite time of year! It's great to read a happy post.
Yay to you for getting rid of your back injury and feeling better!
Sounds like a week full of some great things! Those workout classes sounds pretty fun. I usually just work out at home, but sometimes I wish I could do some classes.
Thanks for this happy post! Easter is my favorite!
Being sore from the gym is a feeling I just LOVE. Glad you're feeling better and back at it.
I'm going to really have to try that popcorn snack. It's already my favorite snack and you're telling me that it gets better? I'm in!
Lots of happiness 🙂 I love having Prime. But its popcorn that I really couldnt live with out. I used to make it on the stove but now I have an air popper! I like the brown bag too for when its just me! Happy Easter!
Oooohhhhh! I'm definitely going to try the popcorn idea! I hadn't seen that yet!
I hadn't heard of the microwave popcorn hack! I wish I had grown up on that instead of the awful chemical versions :(. So glad you are feeling better all around!
Happy Easter Shan!! I hope you guys have a great one. Also I've tried that popcorn method, so interesting and incredible that it actually works!!
Ohhh…I am going to have to check out Orphan Black. Sounds like it's right up my alley!
I am definitely a Popcorn lover as well! We got one of those crank stove top pots. The kids love to turn it and it goes pretty quickly! Glad to hear you are feeling better! I've wanted to try a Barre class!!!
Wait. You can make your own microwave popcorn?!??! i must try this! and i've been dying to start watching Mozart in the Jungle. Thanks for the reminder!
These are great happy things. Working out like you is a big one for me!
So many things to be grateful for sure. I want to check out how to make my own popcorn. Working out always makes me feel happy. I tend to do everything except take care of myself so when I do exercise I'm super happy. :)I'm so glad you all are feeling better.

Q: How Kinect depth images are created ? Can simple RGB images can be converted to images like those depth images? My primary motive is to detect hand from simple RGB images (images from my webcam ).
I found a sample code find_hand_point
    function [result, depth] = find_hand_point(depth_frame)

    % function result = find_hand_point(depth_frame)
    %
    % returns the coordinate of a pixel that we expect to belong to the hand.
    % very simple implementation, we assume that the hand is the closest object
    % to the sensor.

    max_value = max(depth_frame(:));
    current2 = depth_frame;
    current2(depth_frame == 0) = max_value;
    blurred = imfilter(current2, ones(5, 5)/25, 'symmetric', 'same');
    minimum = min(blurred(:));
    [is, js] = find(blurred == minimum);
    result = [is(1), js(1)];
    depth = minimum;

The result variable is the co-ordinate of the nearest thing to the camera (the hand).
A depth image from kinect device was passed to this function and the result is as:
http://img839.imageshack.us/img839/5562/testcs.jpg
the green rectangle shows the closest thing to the camera (the hand).
PROBLEM:

*

*The images that my laptop camera captures are not Depth images but are simple RGB images.

*Is there a way to convert my RGB images to those depth images ?

*Is there a simple alternative technique to detect hand ?

A: A much simpler approach can be found in http://www.andol.info/hci/830.htm
There the author converts the rgb image to hsv, and he just keeps specific ranges of the H, S and V values, that he assumes that are hand-like colors.
In Matlab:
function [hand] = get_hand(rgb_image)
    hsv_image = rgb2hsv(rgb_image)
    hand = ( (hsv_image(:,:,1)>= 0) & (hsv_image(:,:,1)< 20) ) & ( (hsv_image(:,:,2)>= 30) & (hsv_image(:,:,2)< 150) ) & ( (hsv_image(:,:,3)>= 80) & (hsv_image(:,:,3)< 255) )
end

the hand=... will give you a matrix that will have 1s in the pixels where
0 <= H < 20 AND 30 <= S < 150 AND 80 <= V < 255

A: Kinect uses extra sensors to retrieve the depth data. There is not enough information in a single webcam image to reconstruct a 3D picture. But it is possible to make far-reaching estimates based on a series of images. This is the principle behind XTR-3D and similar solutions.

A: A better technique I found to detect hand via skin color :)

Department for Communities, ITV, Public Record Office of Northern Ireland, Westway Films
ITV, Westway Films
In this episode, we meet Karen and Stella. Originally from Hong Kong, they came to Northern Ireland a number of years ago and proceeded to make new lives for themselves, settling and raising their families in the province. Through interviews and home videos, we gain insights into their multifaceted lives and the ways in which both Chinese and Northern Irish cultures shape their identities.
Now the largest ethnic minority in Northern Ireland, migration of Chinese nationals to Northern Ireland commenced in the 1960s and has continued unabated to the present day - even through The Troubles. As such, there are three different Chinese languages spoken amongst the NI Chinese community, though Cantonese is the most widely spoken variant.
The programme opens at St. Georges Market, location of festivities to mark the Chinese New Year. We are introduced to Stella, who describes the struggles of moving to a foreign land and not knowing the language. This is echoed by Karen, who recounts how she taught herself English when she first moved here. She acknowleges how much more difficult it must be for elderly migrants to learn a new language.
Both Karen and Stella draw comparisons between Northern Ireland and Hong Kong, noting that heir children have retained a connection to Chinese culture, even though they would consider Northern Ireland their home.
The topic of racism within Northern Irish society is also addressed, in particular how such behaviour is directed to the Chinese community and/or manifests within the school environment.

From 'Game of Thrones' to UFOs: Aidan Gillen takes on new role in History's 'Project Blue Book'
Ed Araquel/History(NEW YORK) -- You may know him best for playing Petyr "Littlefinger" Baelish for seven seasons on Game of Thrones, but now Aidan Gillen is heading into alien territory.
In History's Project Blue Book, which debuts tonight, the Irish actor stars as Dr. Josef Allen Hynek, a real-life professor who was recruited by the Air Force to help explain UFO sightings in the 1950s and 60s. Gillen was immediately interested in the subject matter, which is based on true events.
"You know, from an early age I've wondered about what's out there," he tells ABC Radio. "I've never assumed we are alone in the universe for a second."
Gillen says that when tackling this role, he spent many nights doing "highly enjoyable rabbit-hole research." One of the first things he did was re-watch Steven Spielberg's Close Encounters of the Third Kind, based on Dr. Hynek's book, Close Encounters. Hynek was a consultant on the film and even had a cameo in it.
"To get to play the guy who wrote the books that inspired Spielberg to make the film is pretty amazing," Gillen says.
Also pretty amazing: Project Blue Book's recent unplanned marketing tie-in. A fire at a ConEd electrical plant in New York City last month turned the sky a pulsating electric blue, which looked eerily similar to the image on the Project Blue Book posters.
"Somebody sent me the picture and…they also sent me pictures of some billboards in Los Angeles for Project Blue Book and I thought I was looking at the same thing, honestly," Gillen says. "Um, so nice timing!
Project Blue Book airs tonight on History at 10 p.m. ET.
Gillen can also be seen in the Golden Globe-winning movie Bohemian Rhapsody. He plays Queen's manager, John Reid.

The Road America circuit will host Round 3 in the Maserati Trofeo World Series on the weekend of 28 June. This stage also marks a move away from Europe where the first two events, at Paul Ricard in France and Spielberg in Austria, were held.
The circuit will be hosting a Maserati single-make series for the first time. It is found close to Elkhart Lake, between Milwaukee and Green Bay, in Wisconsin. For the first time ever comes a new challenge for the drivers: the Trofeo Maserati North America (MNA) mini-series. There will be a further round at Virginia International Raceway, on 23 August, and one on 13 September at Laguna Seca during the Pirelli World Challenge weekend. The Maseratis will be in the GTS class and the drivers competing to see who is crowned the Maserati North America Champion 2015. The eventual winner will earn a spot at the last round in the Maserati Trofeo World Series, scheduled for Abu Dhabi, UAE, on 11 December.
Championship leader Romain Monti, will also be turning out for the Maserati Trofeo at Road America. The Frenchman moved into the lead thanks to a win and a third spot last time out in Austria, an event his closest rival Riccardo Ragazzi, missed. Monti now sits on 58 points and will have to fight off the Italian who is 22 points off the top.
Among the Americans making a reappearance will be Patrick Byrne. He made the podium last season and will by flanked by first-timer Guy Cosmo this year. Also returning is Nick Mancuso who will be trying to keep up the fine form he displayed in 2014. Other debutants are US driver Derek Hill and the all-Italian crew of Marco Fumagalli and Andrea Perlini. Adrien De Leener will be back competing for the team title.
The seventh round in the Pirelli World Challenge will be run on the same weekend. The race will be special as it will see the GTS-spec Maserati GranTurismo MC Trofeo make its first outing. The car is managed by team Vita4one and has German Michael Bartels in command. Bartels is famed for taking Maserati MC12 to several world GT1 titles.
The PWC championship is becoming evermore popular on the American motorsport scene. It is organised into various categories depending on each car's technical spec. Races last a maximum of 50′ and the number of laps covered varies depending on the track.
Maserati Trofeo races from Road America can be viewed, in Europe, on Motors TV; in Italy a highlights show is broadcast on Odeon 24, channel 177, and channel on Sky's Rete Economy. More information on schedules will be published in the news section of the Maseraticorse.it website. Radio Monte Carlo will transmit live interviews with the drivers from trackside.

Subject: The Validity of the DCBA Election of Officers and Directors
An e-mail has been circulated among some DCBA members that questions the validity of this year's election results.
These issues have been investigated by the Executive Committee, which by our by-laws, is made up of the officers and one member of the board from each of the five groups and the 2018-19 Elections Committee.
We are pleased to report that there were no irregularities in, nor any challenges to, the election vote totals. The issue raised in the email was considered by the Board of Directors in June and determined to be unfounded and of no consequence, and therefore, the board accepted the election results.
The source of the issue
After the election results were announced, the outgoing president of the association, acting unilaterally, named several persons to investigate the election.
This was an unprecedented and ultra vires act, as the by-laws require that any standing or special committees be established by the board of directors.
Without the knowledge of the board, one of the members of this unauthorized committee contacted the vendor which organized and conducted the on-line election process. The spokesperson for that vendor authored an e-mail describing her perceptions of the process. That e-mail has been widely circulated, without the vendor's knowledge or authorization, among a number of members of the DCBA.
As confirmed by a subsequent contact with the vendor, the vendor's account reflected a lack of understanding of the requirements of our by-laws and unfortunately may provide fodder for spurious claims to be made.
For many years, the DCBA by-laws have required that "Votes cast for a smaller amount of nominees than the number of Director vacancies to be filled in a particular class shall not be counted."This rule has been followed with respect to all positions and all ballots.That has meant in practice that there has never been a ballot option to not vote for a contested position.
When the ballot vendor initially prepared the ballot, it erred by preparing a ballot that allowed a voter to opt out of voting in one or more groups.This does not comply with the DCBA by-laws.
Consistent with the specific ministerial duties provided in the by-laws, Secretary Jane Muir corrected this error with the ballot vendor, requesting the elimination of the option labeled as "not answered."
With this correction, the ballot format was consistent with both the by-law requirements and with the ballots used in previous years.
The action taken by Ms. Muir was consistent with the association's governing documents and her ministerial action was not a conflict of interest.
The opinion of the ballot vendor that a "not answered" option should be included in a ballot is simply contrary to the dictates of the DCBA by-laws.
The ballot vendor's opinion that the 30% voter turnout was "on the low end" is contrary to the history of the DCBA elections. In fact, the voter turnout has been typically 10-15% or less in previous years.
The actions taken by the Secretary to correct the format of the ballot were consistent with the DCBA by-laws.
There were no close election outcomes.In fact, the outcome of the election established that the winners prevailed by votes of:
· 68.6% to 31.4% President-Elect
· 71.8% to 28.2% Vice-President
· 56.6% to 43.4% Treasurer
· 84.3%, 75.3% and 40.4% Group Two Directors
· 78.5%, 67.6%, and 53.8% Group Three Directors
None of the defeated candidates appealed to the Board of Directors as permitted by the by-laws.
The board of directors addressed the issues that had been raised at their meeting in June, and accepted the election results.
After the recent circulation of the uninformed and unsupported claims of irregularity, the current Executive Committee and the 2018-19 Elections Committee reviewed the matter and concluded that, in fact, there were no election irregularities and that the election was conducted in accordance with the DCBA by-laws.

Detectorist uncovers treasure from Robin Hood's Sherwood Forrest
November 26, 2019 admin News
A Captivating story coming out of England where a detectorist has dug an incredible gold ring with a huge sapphire stone from the fabled Sherwood Forrest, the old home of Robin hood and his band of thieves. The ring was discovered in Nottinghamshire by Mark Thompson who found the ring after just 20 minutes into his session. What makes the ring so unique is the size of the stone, probably worn by a high ranking member of the church of England, possibly a Bishop.
Mr Thompson said at the time: "I had been out metal detecting with a group for about 20 minutes when I heard the signal.
"I was really excited when I saw that it was gold, but I didn't realise at that point just how significant it might be."
The ring is currently being auctioned at Christies with an estimated price of 25,000 to 35,000 Great British pounds, or about 30-40k USD. British treasure find rules dictate the proceeds of the sale will be split 50/50 between the finder and the landowner.
Sherwood Forest once covered a huge swathe of land from north of Nottingham city up to the edge of Doncaster. However, it now comprises just 375 hectares of land. Ubran sprawl has built up around it's perimeter but there is still a lot of treasure to be found! Maybe you'll get lucky too and dig up some of robin hood's spoils? If you would like more information on metal detecting or to get the best price for a metal detector, please don't hesitate to contact us and happy hunting!

2018 Ford Ranger Raptor Engine & Changes – The 2018 Ford Ranger Raptor is uncovered in Thailand, in advance of an Australian launch later on this year. First points first: there is no Ecoboost V6 from the F-150, even though the Raptor does receive an all-new transmission and twin-turbo four-cylinder diesel. A 2.0-litre bi-turbo diesel day-to-day lives under the bonnet, creating 157kW of power and 500Nm of torque. That measures up to the 147kW/470Nm 3.2-litre five-container oiler in the existing Ranger line-up, however, without doubt, the Raptor's engine is lighter weight.
Moving equipment is the company's new 10-speed automatic transmission, distributed to the F-150 Raptor and in the near future to be provided in the face-raised Mustang sports car. Ford affirms the transmission aids increase velocity and responsiveness, typically thanks to the period of proportions. There are also wheel-attached paddles for manual control, just the frame of mind consider you. Creatively, the Raptor will get a new grille with 'FORD' throughout its center, very much like the F-150. LED fog-lighting fixtures and efficient air curtain channels are already extra up front, as well as two rehabilitation hooks rated at 4.5 tonnes.
The flared front wheel arches are explained to become more tolerant to the dings and dents and dings related to off-roading and enable the longer-traveling suspension and outsized off-road tires. Terrain clearance has become greater to 283mm (up from the Wildtrak's 237mm) and technique, ramp-over and leaving aspects are already enhanced to 32.5/24/24 diplomas correspondingly – the Wildtrak boasts 29 qualifications for technique and 21 qualifications for leaving. An altered rear fender homes an internal pull club, and recuperation hooks rated at 3.8 tonnes. Towing capacity is limited to 2500 kgs, down 1000kg on the Wildtrak. Ford has confirmed the color assortment will include Lightning Blue, Race Red, Shadow Black, Freezing White and the special hero color: Defeat Grey. Contrasting Dyno Grey exterior features assist to "accentuate the vehicle's appearance even further".
Inside, there are exclusive seats created for high-speed off-roading, cut in "technical suede". There are also blue features and leather highlights all through the cabin, as well as a new steering wheel with perforated leather grasp portions and the mineral magnesium paddle shifters. Ford Performance has applied its impact, also, with the red 'on-centre' marker at 12 o'clock on the steering wheel – which is completed the Raptor logo on the spoke bezel. Under the pores and skin is a chassis framework tailored to high-speed use off-road, new Coilover rear suspension employing a Watt's website link installation and solid rear axle, and stiffened side rails. You get strengthened additional-tire installing cross participants, modified to the Raptor's larger 17-inch wheel and off-road tire package.
Communicating of wheels and tires, the 17-inch wheels are twisted in 285/70 BF Goodrich all-terrain rubberized designed for the Ranger Raptor. The tires calculate 838mm in size, with dense sidewalls providing the ability to handle "all surroundings with confidence". Associated with the wheels are 332mm ventilated front brakes with twin-piston calipers (up 9.5mm), whilst the rear recognizes an improve to disc brakes (instead of drums) also calculating 332mm, with new 54mm calipers. On the other hand, the Ranger Raptor is provided with a Terrain Administration System (TMS) with at least six settings for different situations. On the road, there are 'Normal' and 'Sport', whilst off-road methods include Lawn/Pea gravel/Snow, Soil/Yellow sand, Rock and roll and Baja.
Sports mode delivers easier items changes and enhanced throttle answer. Lawn/Pea gravel/Snow, Soil/Beach sand and Rock and roll settings are reasonably personal-explanatory when Baja is for high-speed off-road performance – which Ford likens to specifications of the Baja Desert Rally. In this setting, solutions like traction control are pared back in phrases of involvement, and the 10-speed transmission works in the same manner to Sport by retaining equipment and downshifting much more vigorously. Finally, the Ranger Raptor is designed with the exact same technology collection noticed on high-levels of the ute, such as an 8.-inch Sync 3 infotainment system with satellite navigation, a rear-view camera, and a range of driver-support solutions.
Other confirmed features include a new EZ Lift tailgate necessitating 66 percent significantly less first lift pressure thanks to a new rod assemblage, as well as keyless entry and start. "We are so thrilled and happy to release this vehicle to the open public, driving it genuinely tends to make you sense like a hero," explained Jamal Hameedi, chief expert at Ford Performance. "Just like the F-150 Raptor, the Ranger Raptor creates after the core capacity of the range of vehicles it appears from and holds the unique Ford Performance DNA physical appearance." "It is remarkable to allow this level of performance and produce a vehicle that will offer off-road fanatics this sort of adrenaline speed," he included. Like the standard Ranger, the Raptor will probably be built in Thailand. Ford's neighborhood section has confirmed with CarAdvice the Ranger Raptor is appointed to appear Down Under "late" in the second half of this year. Remain tuned for costs and specification info much closer to launch.

Warning: a quirky post, even by LJC standards, enjoy the ride!
Selection: The Vinyl Detective Theme – short introduction (Joe Kraemer)
https://londonjazzcollector.files.wordpress.com/2020/10/the-vinyl-detective-short.mp3
Joe Kraemer, composer, keyboard/synths (below left); Andrew Cartmel, writer and music curator of vintage jazz tracks (below right).
Joe Kraemer is an American composer best known for big budget Hollywood blockbuster film scores, including (Original Sound Track Theme links) Jack Reacher (2012), and Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation (2015), two favourite Tom Cruise action movies – rogue states, rogue agents, super-villains, plot-twists that tie you in knots, edge of seat cliff-hangers, stunts, car-chases, explosions, and of course film score music.
What's this got to do with jazz? Stay with me. Joe Kraemer is a good friend of British TV scriptwriter, novelist and playwright Andrew Cartmel. Andrew was a writer of early episodes of the long-running TV series Dr Who, and more recently, author of The Vinyl Detective series of novels. He is a jazz fan and has a side-line in writing insightful liner notes for 60's British jazz records, like the BBC recordings issued by Gearbox. Cartmel also happens to be a good friend of LJC, with a shared interest in modern jazz, analogue hi-fi and French wines. You can see where this is heading.
Last year an idea came together, no doubt helped by the French wine-maker from Bergheim, Alsace, Marcel Deiss. Deiss has revived the traditional viticulture specialty of "complantation", creating a blend of thirteen Alsatian grape varieties. Instead of blending those different grape varieties grown in different vinyards, Deiss grows the different varieties of grape along side each other in the same 32 hectare vinyard, a common terroir: planted, harvested and fermented together. Forget sweet cloying Gewurtz or Germanic Reisling, the resulting Alsace blend is balanced, beguiling, complex and magnificent.
But I digress. Cartmel's vision was to create a 60s vintage modern jazz compilation, a complantation of essential jazz tracks, in the form of a vinyl LP complementary to his Vinyl Detective novels. Cartmel curated the selections, LJC performed a few tricks with Audacity and dbPoweramp to create the source wavs, and Kraemer volunteered to write the Vinyl Detective signature theme. Licensing, audio transfers, vinyl mastering and pressing were organised by a Dutch specialist team, artwork commissioned and printed, and the vision featured here was realized.
A lunch conversation last year between Kraemer, Cartmel and LJC provided a surprising insight into Hollywood film music production. There is a lot of creative tension between film producers and composers, and it takes guts to argue with Steven Speilberg or Tom Cruise! I noted the importance of keyboard synths in producing film scores. No-one today can afford days of studio orchestra sessions to produce candidate compositions for a scene, when they can be created through the tonal palette of modern synthesizer voicings.
As you might expect of a Hollywood composer, Joe Kraemer has an encyclopaedic knowledge of film scores. In a discussion on the most icon moments in film music history, I proposed the shower-scene in Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho. Kraemer proceeded to vocalise the slashing-blade shreik score, note for note. One hell of a party-trick!
Flashback! Things were different sixty years ago, when in December 1957, Miles Davis and his European quintet – Barney Wilen, Rene Utreger, Pierre Michelot and Kenny Clarke – sat in a Paris studio in front of a continuous film screening of Louis Malle's Ascenseur Pour L'echafaud. "It was a great learning experience," Miles wrote in his autobiography, "because I had never written a music score for a film before." The soundtrack was partly scored, partly improvised, and completed in just four hours, by five young men with acoustic instruments, staring intently at a black and white film projection, and listening intently to each other.
Scene: Jeanne Moreau is waiting for her lover, who she has arranged to meet after he has shot her husband in the building in which they both worked. But he's late, and she's wondering what has happened. . . You know how that must feel, don't you?
Another great film jazz score, also set in Paris, is Gato Barbieri's Last Tango In Paris (1972), a circling hypnotic theme arranged and conducted by Oliver Nelson. "Suspenseful jazz orchestration, an air of erotic longing, melancholy despair, and doomed fate" (AllMusic)
Original Sound Track: Gato Barbieri, tenor saxophone, flute; Franco D'Andrea, piano; Franco Goldani, Wolmer Beltrani, accordion; Jean-François Jenny-Clark, Giovanni Tommaso, bass; Pierino Munari, drums; Afonso Vieira, percussion, berimbau; Ivanir "Mandrake" do Nascimento, percussion, tambourine; Oliver Nelson, orchestra conductor.and arranger, Original Sound Track 1972, United Artists.
Vinyl rip added Oct.26th! – Gato Barbieri Last Tango – from Gato's reprise album "Apasionada" (Polydor, 1983) a very upbeat electric fusion presentation, of it's time:

(Note: these two film jazz tracks are not part of the Vinyl Detective LP, just added by LJC for context of film jazz scores).
The Vinyl Detective
But I digress, again. Cartmel's Vinyl Detective character hunts down rare and desirable records on private commission, a fast-paced search which combines crate-digging with danger, adventure, and the occasional murder, in the company of an endearing collection of characters: love-interest Nevada, friends Tinkler and Clean Head, and his cat. It is set, not in Paris, but in a varied British landscape of West London and the Home Counties. Along the way, vinyl rears its beautiful head, rich on collector detail, though music of genres including rare and collectible punk singles, 70's psychedelic rock, as well as modern jazz, according to the plot.
Now on its fifth book in the Vinyl Detective series, Cartmel's novels are now being published in other languages: the German edition is selling well, a Japanese edition could be a surefire winner, certainly among Disc Union buyers.
The Vinyl Detective LP is a compilation of iconic 60's tracks which includes female vocalists Cartmel is partial to, including Lucy-Anne Polk, Joanie Sommers, Bettie Carter and our own Blossom Dearie, mixed with favourites from Miles Davis, Mal Waldron, Yusef Lateef, Charles Mingus and Cannonball Adderley . It sounds remarkably good on vinyl, though digital sources, and features an unusual lock-groove in the vinyl runout – a repeating verbal instruction to play it again, and on the other side, to turn it over. Sound advice.

Ear and LJC stamps are
In the early days of the LJC blog, I toyed with the idea of record collectors being "vinyl detectives", steeped in the minutiae of clues to vinyl provenance, essential in the pursuit of Blue Note and other vintage labels.
Unknown to me at the time, author Andrew Cartmel was writing the fictional Vinyl Detective novels, based on a failed London disc jockey who scratches out a living by scouting collectible LPs in thrift shops and used-record stores, to resell at inflated prices. Sound familiar? Our London sleuth is also for hire, at a generous hourly rate, to seek out and find particular rare records, which inevitably ends up in adventure, danger and sometimes, murder.
In the world of the internet, it was inevitable that our paths would cross, and continue to develop our common interests, including the white wines of the Rhone and Alsace's Marcel Deiss, hi-fi, modern jazz on vinyl, and this collaboration, The Vinyl Detective LP.
Connoisseurs of vintage hi-fi will appreciate Andrew Cartmel's choice of 1960's British turntable, the Garrard 301, the first transcription turntable that played at 33 ⅓, 45 and 78 rpm speeds: robust, minimalist and beautifully built. Fittingly, it is pictured here with a 60's vintage British Esquire label LP, licensed US Prestige recordings from the golden years, pressed with original US metal.
And his choice of electrostatic speakers, a slimline vintage technology which has me totally baffled.
LJC commends to your bookshelf an escape into the fast-paced and light-hearted world of The Vinyl Detective, the fictional pursuit of rare and valuable records, a welcome change from the same pursuit in the real world battleground that is Ebay, and which only rarely involves murder.
The Vinyl Detective novels available at all good book sellers, and also from Amazon; LP at Discogs and other good record sellers including Juno

An Esquire on an idler through electrostatics via valves, I am liking the cut of your friend Andrew's jib. You don't like the sound of his hi fi set up?. That Jimmy Forrest album is a bit of a sleepy one for my tastes, and it has a scratch and a half to it, so I really hope you have heard it with other better stuff on it. Anyway, the main thing to say is congratulations on a lovely idea for a collaboration. Couldn't see that thrilling Last Tango on the tracklist though?. A great film, if remembering seeing it from 30+ years ago is anything to go by.

Vinyl Detective novel series – you've got to be kidding? This is the stuff of so many LJC spoofs. So I go to my local library's online collection and sure enough, they have three of Cartmel's books. I checked out "Written in Dead Wax". Thanks for the tip!
Play it again. Excellent post Andrew!


MercyAscot's heritage goes back 114 years to when Mercy Hospital started to provide healthcare services to the people of Auckland. They are committed to providing quality care to their patients.
Ascot Hospital is located at 90 Greenlane East, Remuera, just off the Greenlane motorway interchange in Auckland. There is a patient drop-off area at the main entrance to the hospital.


I get so used to this I have started to unmatch them they will never be available and I definitely will not head out that way so it's best to not even to push on forward with them.
