At the request of a SetSail reader, Linda recalls their first ocean passage aboard Intermezzo in 1977.
We asked the SetSailors to write about their sources for local knowledge.
It is no secret that we enjoy good food. And we see no reason why we should change our eating habits on a long passage. If anything, food preparation and consumption is one of the things we look forward to at sea, and something which helps to pass the time in an enjoyable fashion.
The other day I was talking to my longtime friend and cruising buddy, Cheryl Schmidt, about provisioning. She and her husband Jim are preparing their 73-foot ketch Wakaroa (an early Deerfoot design) for their annual four- or five-month cruise. A typical passage for them would be a five-day trip from Auckland to Fiji. We are sea trialing our new non-sailboat, Wind Horse, in New Zealand and will be leaving for Fiji ourselves in about a month's time.
Jim and Cheryl Schmidt, with our daughters Elyse and Sarah, in New Zealand in 1977.
Cheryl always pre-cooks enough meals for five or six days at sea. She freezes them in individual-size containers that she can take from the freezer to the microwave. The Schmidts like to spend a lot of time in the cockpit, and it's easy for her to pop down below and heat up dinner – they can even eat out of the containers. A variety of plastic containers are available in supermarkets – you don't need the expensive kind – the throw-away type works just fine for this, as long as it can go from the freezer to the microwave. She usually prepares comfort foods: soups, chili, lasagna and homemade chicken nuggets. She bakes cookies (as do I) and carries the pre-washed cut salads that are now available. For eating salads during the passage, she carries stainless steel bowls. This trip can be boisterous.
Staying in touch and paying the bills while cruising.
As awful as the devastation and loss of life has been from the Indian Ocean tsunamis, there are still some lessons that can be learned. The following comments are based on discussions with those on hand, plus previous experiences in California and Hawaii.
The normal nature of tsunamis is such that they are preceded by a long-range trough. This causes an atypical drop in water level. This occurred during the recent Indian Ocean situation, and was responsible for much of the loss of life at Hilo, Hawaii, many years ago when it was hit (many of those drowned at Hilo were out on the reefs looking for shells in the unusually low tide).
Ground tackle is probably the single most important system on the boat in terms of safety, comfort, and peace of mind. Our approach is based on a steep learning curve-which we survived-but which we would not want to repeat. The bottom line is this: we assume that we're stuck in an anchorage where we cannot leave, the winds have put us on a lee shore, and bottom holding is poor. Our ground tackle systems are engineered to give us the best chances of a happy outcome in this type of scenario. The side benefit is that we are totally secure in anything less than awful conditions, and we can anchor on much shorter scope the 99% of the time conditions are favorable.
For some time we've been confused by e-mail data rates and cost, as it applies to boat-based communications. Recently, Mike Parker, a new Sundeer owner and old-time glider guru, brought us up to speed on this subject. Here's what we learned.
The Dashews answer our questions on how they would prepare crew for an offshore passage.
The following photos were taken by Catherine York, who was aboard the J46 Aragorn anchored off Phi Phi Don, Thailand, when the tsunamis hit. These photos cover a one-minute span, showing the first ebb and the first flood.
John Gray runs sea kayak tours based out of Phuket, Thailand. He sent us this article about his experiences with the tsunamis, and his attempts to warn others about the risk thereof.
The tremors began at 7.58am. The long, low-frequency shakes lasted two minutes. It wasn't the shattering, sharp jolt one expects from a California quake, but it felt ominous. The tremors lasted long enough that I had time to put a bowl of water on the floor to verify the shakes. Sure enough, the water was rippling.
Here's a report from Gavin and Sukey of Scott-Free, circumnavigators who were in Thailand during the tsunamis. Interesting feedback on the three waves and how they behaved in 12m (40 feet) of water.
Hello "out there". First and foremost, thanks to those of you who have rung or e-mailed over the last few days concerned about our welfare. The situation along the coast here in Thailand, particularly Phuket, is fairly disastrous, as most of you will know, since I understand the coverage has been understandably extensive with some dramatic and horrible images of the mayhem caused by the Tsunamis.

Woburn line. Mary Monroe must have been a lady of much
worth, coming from this flourishing and sturdy Monroe family.
The year following his marriage he purchased, May 29,
1749, of John Burt's heirs, then of Boston, an estate in Woburn
of 200 acres of rich farming land for the sum of £2,000. It
was in the west part of the town and but a few miles from his
home in Lexington. It was in this part of Woburn where the
Kendalls resided ; where Jabez Kendall lived until his mar-
riage to Sarah Parker of Lexington. The farm was bordered
by Samuel Kendall on the north and on the west by Samuel
Wyman. Later, in i77i,Josiah Parker bought much more
land, bounded, as the deed reads, north by the highway to
Lexington, and east by the highwa}- to Charlestown. This
was in the southwest part of the town and was adjacent to a
part of his other land. It is said that his house, the home-
stead site, stood between Cambridge and Lexington Streets.
Mr. and Mrs. Parker were connected with the Church in
Woburn. It may be that he saw service in the French and
Indian wars, or perhaps accompanied his brother, Capt. John
Parker of Lexington, in the memorable Louisburg expedition
of 1745, or in the French and Indian war; but one thing is
certain, that he was honored with the title of Lieut.
Characteristic of his family he was " joiner" as well as a
farmer. He had his "shop," which he mentions in his will,
wherein he made wagons, furniture and all farm implements.
In his will, which is preserved in Middlesex Probate Records,
he mentions Mar}^ my dearly beloved wife, Mary, my well
beloved dau., my eldest son Josiah Parker, my dau. Lydia,
son Edmund, dau. Martha, and sons Nathan and Benjamin.

In Woburn Death Records is recorded the death of a John Parker,
May 30, 1790. His identity is not plain. Perhaps he belonged to
the Reading families.
17. Capt. John Parker (Josia/i,^ Joh^i,^ Hananiah^
Thomas'), son of Lieut. Josiah and Anna (Stone) Parker,
was b. in Lexington, July 13. 1729. He passed his boyhood
upon his father's farm amid the hardships and warfare of the
early times.
He was early connected with the military company of the
town, and was trained by his father, Lieut. Josiah Parker.
Unfortunately the period of his services in the French and
Indian wars cannot be ascertained, as all the rolls of the Lex-
ington men have not been preserved. Some of the Lexington
men were attached to the famous corps known as "Rogers's
Rangers," to which Capt. Edmund Monroe at one time be-
longed, and quite likely John Parker as well. This company
is thus described by the historian of Lexington :
"This was the corps in which vStark served his military apprentice-
ship; — a corps whose name was expressive of the life they led —
ranging through the wilderness, seeking their wary savage foe by
8o PARKER GENEALOGY.
day or by night in silent glens or secret ambush: — a corps whose
winter quarters were in tedious marchings amid drifted snows,
frozen lakes and ice clad hills, — relying sometimes upon snow shoes
and sometimes on skates for locomotion, and carrying their only
arsenal and commissariat in their packs. In such a corps were some
of the hardv sons of Lexington trained — they, knowing that their
lives were in their own hands and that their escape from the toma-
hawk and scalping knife, the tortures of the faggot or ignominious
slavery, depended entirely upon their own severe trials, perpetual
watchings and determined courage."
John Parker was at the capture of Louisburg in 1758, and
was at the taking of Quebec in 1759. ^^ ^^'^^ made a ser-
geant in this war. The war of the Revolution which fol-
lowed, and the great armies in the service of the late Rebellion
have thrown the French and Indian War in a great measure
into the shade. Few people at the present time realize the
toils, the sufferings and the sacrifices made by the colony at
that time to sustain the cause and strengthen the arm of the
mother country, which was shortly after raised to crush the
patriotic colonists. From 1755 to 1763 Massachusetts per-
iormed an amount of military service almost unparalleled.
Minot, the historian, says that in the year 1757 one-third of the
effective men in the colony were in some way or other in the
field. The patriotic devotion of the colony, and the zeal with
which the brave soldiers served Great Britain should have
excited her gratitude and induced her to respect their rights.
John Parker m. in Lexington, May 25, 1755, Lydia Moore,
b. in Lexington, Jan. 18, 1731, third dau. of Thomas and
Mary Moore of Lexington, who lived, if tradition be correct,
in a house, man}' years since in ruins, not far west of the
present poor farm. They were admitted to the Church Oct.
31, 1756. After the settlement of his father's estate the other
sons in course of time removed from town and he bought out
their shares. Mr. Parker was a successful farmer and col-
lected a respectable estate. He was a skilful "-joiner" as well
as a good mechanic. He became assessor, constable and col-
lector of his town. Royal assessments known as "the stamp
act," involving consequences of great importance, were levied
often upon the colonial towns. The collector received the
document and was obliged to collect its quota or go to jail.
PARKER GENEALOGY. 8l
As John Parker was assessor this duty fell upon him, and at
Lexington is preserved one of the papers, which best explains
the condition of affairs at this time. The citizens could not
anticipate their coming, which was irregular, or the amount
which might be stated in them.
John Parker was a stout, large framed man, of medium
height, somewhat like his illustrious grandson, Theodore
Parker, in personal appearance, but had a much longer face.
He was fond of learning and reading, as from Parson Clark's
diary we learn he was one of those who often borrowed his
valued books, treasures at that time.
The Church and town were one, consequently the minister
was the most influential man in the town. The ardent patriot,
Parson Jonas Clark, plainly exposed the doctrine for which
Massachusetts rose in arms. He levied high treason in the
house of God, and upon his fellow-citizens, and finally upon
the whole country — his influence was inestimable. The
Parkers for several generations used to love to go to Church,
they were the best of hearers of the Word, and faithful doers
too, but they had their own thoughts and resolved as well as
listened.
Probably the name of Capt. John Parker would have no
place in history had not the events and circumstances of the
times brought the British to Lexington. But do not the
results well show that no better man could have been chosen
to represent the colonists in their first defence? He was equal
to the emergency, and may we ever honor his name.
The whole country was equally alive and it needed only a
spark to kindle the fire of liberty, and any village might have
been the scene of the first resistance. The Lexington company
of minute-men, formed about 1774, comprised the principal
men of the town. John Parker was at that time 45 years of
age. He must have been a man of admitted character and
one who commanded the confidence of the people. When in
1774 and "75 the town made an effort to organize a company
of minute-men, we have a record over his signature in this
language, showing his military leadership, and seems the first
note of preparation to the bloody drama so soon to be enacted :
82 PARKER GENEALOGY.
"Lexington, March 14, 1775.
"Agreeable to the vote of the town I have received by the hands
of the Selectmen the drums — there were two — provided by the town
for the use of Military Company in this town until the further order
of the town.
John Parker."
There were in town at that period Lieut. Edmund Monroe
and Ens. Robert Monroe, both of whom had held commissions
in the French War, besides 25 or 30 more who had seen
service on the "tented field," and the fact that Parker was
selected to command that company and that these officers and
soldiers were willing to volunteer and serve under him, shows
that he was a man of more than ordinary ability and one to be
trusted in any emergency.
Capl. Parker shouldered his gun on the evening of the i8th
of April, left his home and seven young children, proceeded
to the village and there awaited the arrival of messengers from
Boston. He placed a guard composed of Sergt. Monroe and
eight men around Rev. John Clark's house, where the hunted
patriots, John Hancock and Samuel Adams, were that night
stopping. Paul Revere arrived in Lexington at midnight.
He immediateh' gave the alarm at the parson's house. At
two in the morning Capt. Parker caused the alarm to be
sounded from the belfrj' on Lexington green and by the beat-
ing of drums. The minute-men hastened from their firesides,
and all finally assembled upon the common. The night being
cool the company was soon dismissed with orders to assemble
again at the beat of the drum. The greater portion retired to
Buckman's tavern near the place of parade. At half-past
four Parker called the roll of his company, forming the line
near the meeting-house. He then commanded —
"Every man of you who is equipped follow me, and those of you
who are not go into the meeting-house and furnish himself from the
magazine and immediately join the company."
Afterward came the order to load the guns. As the British
approached and the little band of 60 stood before 600 dis-
ciplined troops, a few of them naturally for a moment faltered,
Capt. Parker sternly replied, "The first man who offers to
run shall be shot down." When the British halted and
PARKER GENKAI.fUJV.
Pitcairn cried out "Disperse, ye villians, ye rebels," etc., our
Captain showed his cool and prudent judgment in evading the
mighty disaster which aggression on the part of his troops
would have been, by firmly ordering, "Don't fire unless fired
upon, but if they want a war let it begin here." He was
always gentlemanly. As he stood before the British host no
profane sentence sullied his lips, sorely tempted though he
may have been in the peril and excitement of that hour.
What a contrast did the language of the American commander
present to that of Maj. Pitcairn, when, with oaths, he dis-
charged his pistol and ordered his men to fire. They over-
shot and no one was injured, but at their second discharge
nearly one-fourth of the little compan}^ were killed or wounded.
The little band then returned the fire with some effect and
the war was begun ! The British charged upon them, upon
which perilous state of affairs Capt. Parker ordered his men,
"Disperse and take care of yourselves." With a cheer the
British resumed their march, having first bayoneted Jonas
Parker, who was determined to face the British. He was
Capt. Parker's cousin and the first man bayoneted in our
American Revolution. (See page 50.) Far better would it
have been for Major Pitcairn and his command to have re-
flected from the brave resistance shown by Jonas Parker of
the probable reception awaiting them. Far better for his men
if he had then and there wheeled around and marched back
to Boston. How heartily the example offered by Parker,
together with the fate of the other victims, was told from mouth
to mouth, and how the minute-men responded b}^ their pres-
ence that day !
Capt. Parker had not only trained his company but had
formed an "Alarm List," as was the custom, to which the
boys and old men belonged. He trained all who could carry
a musket, and during the day many of them got in chance
shots at the enemy, and some of the boys carried water in
wooden bowls to the men. Besides Capt. Parker and his
cousin Jonas Parker, there was the latter's nephew. Corporal
Ebenezer Parker, and the Captain's brother, Thaddeus Parker,
who were in the fight that day. It is shown in another part
how Ebenezer's father, Thomas Parker, defended his family
and property from British insult, although he was still con-
fined to his house. In the forenoon Capt. Parker gathered
the remainder of his company and marched toward Concord
to intercept the British at the best advantage. In Lincoln, as
they saw the enemy returning, he led the men into an open
field, and they fired once more upon the enemy. Troops
from Woburn, Acton, Reading and other towns had arrived.
From Woburn were Captain Parker's nephews, Edmund and
Josiah Parker. From Reading came 17 who bore the name
of Parker, who, under command of Capt. Brooks, kept up a
hot fire upon the enemy's column during the remainder of the
In the following May John Parker led a part of his company,
45 men, to Cambridge, upon order of the Provincial Congress,
and they served from the sixth to the tenth. Again on the
day of the battle of Bunker Hill he was with 69 men at Cam-
bridge ready for action. He was not in perfect health on the
day of the battle of Lexington. At Bunker Hill he was too
ill to be allowed to enter the turmoil of the battle, so he dis-
contentedly commanded troops who guarded the "Neck" that
day. He was never well afterwards and an epidemic dysen-
tery in September found him an eas}^ prey. He died at an
early age for his long-lived family, aged 46, Sept. 17, 1775.
He who was so brave and true at the beginning of the struggle
saw not the end nor the glory.
His direct descendant, Elizabeth Parker of Lexington,
writes of him :
" I think one can say of John Parker, althoiiojh perhaps a man
plain and simple like his name, he must have been a man ot" some
mental and much executive ability, a man of strong will, bold, earn-
est and daring — wise, prudent and determined. A man sure of his
convictions and true to his convictions. Jonathan Harrington, the
last survivor of the battle, said that ' He looked as though he could
face anything,' and most bravely did he face the responsibilities and
dangers of that trying time."*
It has been eloquently said of him :
" But Parker commanded more than that little company who
stood on yonder green ; he led the embattled host that ])artook of his

and their spirit henceforth. When he rallied his men in the after-
noon of that signal day he prefigured our noble army, which again
and again, with thinned ranks and amid fallen comrades, returned to
the dread fields of that long and bloody struggle."*
At the Lexington homestead is preserved Capt. Parker's
affidavit of the actions of the 19th of April, very valuable to
history as his official account of the direct cause of the Revolu-
tionary War. It is here copied in full.
•' Lexington, April 23, 1775.
"I, John Parker of lawful age, and commander of the militia in
Lexington, do testify and declare that on the 19th inst. in the morn-

In the Massachusetts Senate Chamber there hangs two
muskets, priceless relics, appropriate memorials to the State
of Capt. Parker, the gift of his grandson. Rev. Theodore
Parker. On one, Capt. Parker's own light fowling-piece,
which he carried at Quebec and Lexington, is inscribed:
£y^
*A. B. Muzzy, April 19, 1871, a descendant of Isaac Muzzy, who was killed
in the battle of Lexinsrton.
"This Firearm was used by
Capt. John Parker
In the Battle of Lexington,
1775."
And on the other, which he took from a grenadier in Cam-
bridge on the 17th of June :
"The First Fire Arm
Captured in the
War of Independence."
These invaluable mementos were received by the State
with appropriate ceremonies, and are conspicuously suspended
for public view in the Senate Chamber of th^ State House.
May they ever be prized with reverence, and "Tell to our
sons how our fathers have died."
In the year 1884 the town appropriated the sum of $1,500
to mark spots of historic interest in Lexington, and among
others the grave where his remains were supposed to rest
received a substantial and fitting monument bearing this in-
scription :
" To THE Memory of Capt. John Parker,
Commander of the Minute-men, April 19TH, i775'

The accompanying engraving shows the appearance of the homestead as it
was at this time. It is the house which stood upon the place when the estate
passed into the ownership of John Parker of Reading in 1712. It also shows
the old belfry building which, previous to the nineteenth century, stood on
the common, on the site of the present monument, and from which in 1775
went forth those peals of alarm which called the patriots to arms on the morn-
ing of the 19th of April. Although the old house has been replaced by
another the belfry still stands at the Parker homestead.
The Parker Homestead.
In this ancient house several generations of large families were born. Here
was also born the Rev. Theodore Parker, who in early life drew the picture
which is here shown. He wrote in regard to it as follows: "It faced as
near the south as the rude science of the owner or builder could make it,
and so was a perpetual sun dial. It had but one chimney, that a huge one
in the centre of the building. The large bricks, made half a mile oft", were
laid in clay as far as the ridge pole, while the part of the chimney above the
roof was pointed with mortar. Limestone was not found within many miles,
and the want of it was a serious inconvenience in building. The house, like
all the others in that neighborhood, was two stories high in front and only
one in the rear. The rooms were few but large and airy, the windows not
numerous, of various size, but all small; originally all the latches, except
afterwards captain, a part of his share of his father's, Lieut.
Josiah Parker, estate for £175. He lived in Lexington,
probably at or near the centre of the town. He was like his
brothers, and doubtless his ancestors, a strong, large boned,
muscular man. His career in Lexington stands out brightly
in two ways, first as a citizen, and second as a patriot. It
is a lamentable fact that of his large family there is not a
living descendant of this worthy man.
Thaddeus Parker was one of the selectmen in the years
preceding the Revolution, a period when the most important
duties of the town were devolved upon that board, and when
only mei} of true character and firm patriotism were chosen.
His name appears as assessor of the town of Lexington during
that of the ' fore-door,' were of wood with wooden thumb pieces, but these had
nearly all passed away before my recollection. The house, as it stood in my
day, had been built at different times, the eastern end being considerably
younger than the western, and not furnished with the massive oak beams
which everywhere stuck out in the older part. A New England farmer of
* comfortable estate ' would hesitate a good deal before setting up his house-
hold in such a cheerless shelter; but three generations of stout and longlived
men were born and grew up there, and if the fourth be more puny and sink
quicker to the grave, it is from no fault of the old house, but from the con-
sumption which such spongy meadows in New England seldom fail to pro-
duce in the course of time : even children, Avho have removed to healthier
situations, carrv with them the fatal poison in their blood, and transmit it to
their sons and daughters."
A history of the old belfry is found in Mr. C. A. Staples's ''Sketch of the
History of Lexington Common,'' published by the Lexington Historical Society,
from which I copy the following: "At a town meeting held in June, 1761,
Isaac Stone, as the record says : ' came into y^ meeting and gave y« town a
bell to be for v^ towns use forever; which bell was there and weighed 463 lbs.
— and y" moderator in y name of y meeting gave him thanks.'
"Accordingly the town set to work building a belfry for the bell, and the
building was finally settled upon the common. This was the famous bell
which rung the alarm on the morning of the 19th of April, 1775, whose tongue
is still preserved among the precious relics at the Gary Library, Lexington.
But when the new meeting-house was built in 1794 the belfry was sold to
John Parker, the father of Theodore Parker, and carried away to the Parker
homestead, where it long did duty as a wheelwright shop and where it is
still standing. Soon we trust, under the auspices of the Lexington Historical
Society, it will come creeping back, to find its final resting-place near the
spot of its birth. It should be placed on some height overlooking the village
and restored to its original form, a bell procured of the exact size of Dea.
Isaac Stone's gift, the old tongue put in it, and on every anniversary of the
19th of April it should be rung to let people know how the summons sounded
which called the minute-men to the common on that eventful morning."
^O PARKER GENEALOGY.
the years 1770, '71, '73 and '77. At a time of deep desponden-
cy, the closing months of 1776, when the patriot army was a
mere handful of ragged, disheartened men, he enlisted from
Lexington for a campaign in the Jerseys, there to join Gen.
Washington. This was during the retreat through New
Jersey, the battle of Trenton, when Washington crossed the
Delaware and turned the tables of his country's history, fol-
lowed b}^ the battles of Princeton, Brandy wine and German-
town, and it is probable that in all of these Mr. Parker assisted.
He was in the service at least eight months. He d. in Lex-
ington, Feb. 10, 1789. From the note-book of his nephew
John Parker we read :
"Lexington, February 12, 1789.

Left and to the Back
Digging for nuggets from the dusty old storerooms of pop.
Les Carle - Times They Are A-Changin'/ Catch The WInd - The Typhoons - For Your Love/ Honey, I Need
The Woolworths Bob Dylan is in the building, long before his career as Postman Pat theme tune singer and voice of the Smash robots
Label: Embassy
We've discussed the Embassy label on this blog before, but to summarise the situation for any newbies who may be lurking - it was a budget label stocked solely in Woolworths which featured session singers doing covers of the popular hits of the day.
Embassy is a tempting punt for the record collector in the way that later exponents of penny-pinching department store pop often weren't, in that it didn't always try to be a sound-a-like label. Often the record would be a reasonable approximation of the artists being covered, but only a tone-deaf imbecile who had heard the original tracks once through a terrible radio reception could honestly believe that they might be the real thing. This has left behind a trail of interesting sounding records which don't tend to outshine the originals, but occasionally put their own likable stamp on them (my personal favourite is Joan Baxter's take on the Shangri-Las "Remember (Walkin' In The Sand)" which we covered some years ago).
This particular 1965 EP is a weird anomaly in the label's life which appears to be courting the student and counter-cultural market, desperately trying to gain the coppers of beatniks and hairies, or at least their relatives shopping for treats for them. On the A-side Les Carle (a pseudonym of Ken Barrie, the voice artist and session singer who later performed the Postman Pat theme and voiced the Smash robots) takes on Bob Dylan and Donovan, while the house band The Typhoons deal with The Yardbirds and The Pretty Things on the flip. It is, to say the least, an unexpected proposition and one that leaves you disappointed that the label couldn't hang in long enough for the psychedelic era - God knows what their backroom boys and girls would have made of "See Emily Play" and "Strawberry Fields Forever".
Barrie's take on Dylan is very clearly not an impersonation, not bothering to try and emulate that unique voice ("like sand and glue" as David Bowie once brilliantly put it) but instead put his own rustic, clear and pure sounding folk vocal on it. It works as well as any of the hundreds of other covers of the song tend to do, and doesn't disgrace itself in any way. So too does his take on Donovan's "Catch The Wind", and it leaves me wondering whether any of the Mums and Dads who may have bought this record for their scruffy offspring may have decided to keep it for themselves instead, preferring Barrie's clear, rounded delivery over those author's own works.

China - High Looking High/ East And The West Side
Vic Elmes of Christie on a chugging, rocky comeback tip
Label: President
As the seventies got underway, there may have been people out there who had the group Christie pegged as having a long and prosperous future. "Yellow River" was a determined chart presence in 1970, not only peaking at number one but having a catchiness which ensured it stayed on the chart for 22 weeks and hit home in the USA as well.
While they managed to sustain their initial success to a degree, a period of obvious commercial decline set in after their follow-up "San Bernadino" peaked at number 7 later that year. They had no further hits - though "Iron Horse" did nudge the lower reaches of the Top 50 in 1972 - and eventually Jeff Christie decided that he would rather pursue a solo career than continue with the group.
This left their guitarist Vic Elmes at something of a loose end, and while he initially went back to a regular day-job to provide him with an income, it wasn't long before he returned to the studio with new group China. Sadly, this was their sole release. "High Looking High" is something of a rocker, chugging and grooving along like a swaggering rhinoceros. There's a tiny bit of Christie's old hookiness about the chorus, but the rest of it whiffs of denim and beery rock venues.
The change of direction paid no dividends and the group split very shortly after this was released, apparently being let down by management. Still, it's not a bad 45 to remember them by. Following this, Vic went on to join a later line-up of The Tremeloes.

The Carnival - Big Bright Green Pleasure Machine/ Silver Dreams and Scarlet Memories
Future members of Prelude tackle Paul Simon number
While Simon and Garfunkel sold monstrous amounts of records, they really were the exceptions rather than the rules where folk and folk rock were concerned; the Mumford and Sons of their day, if you will (only with greater amounts of talent and lyrical dexterity). Most folk artists - honourable Byrds and Mamas and Papas-shaped exceptions aside - struggled to gain attention outside their bar cellar circuit, though some (The Overlanders) managed to have one lucky breakaway hit.
The Carnival, sadly, were no exception and this was their only single. The A-side is an agitated, pinch-faced rush through the Paul Simon song which is actually a solid performance. It's a tough song to ruin anyway, but the group add a few irritated embellishments which make the single sound like an itchy, rebellious poke at mainstream society.
The flipside "Silver Dreams and Scarlet Memories" is a group penned effort which is also a pleasurable listen, harking back slightly to the Everlys and early sixties pop.
The groups members were apparently only Brian Hume and Ian Vardy, both of whom later went on to form the significantly better known Prelude, who had a huge underground and FM Radio hit with their cover of Neil Young's "After The Goldrush". There's clearly other players on this track, though, which leads me to think that at the very least a session drummer was called upon for this release, or we're not quite being given the full story. If anyone knows if there were additional members to the group and who they were, please do drop a line.

Reupload - Rainbow Cottage - Cloppa Castle/ Take Good Care Of My Love
Nirvana's Patrick Campbell-Lyons pens kids TV theme for 70s hit-makers, and everyone wins
Label: Pye
Wigan's Rainbow Cottage were a rum bunch of coves - formed as a band consisting entirely of left-handed members (presumably for the novelty factor rather than as an act of protest) they were a club act who toured the UK relentlessly and made most of their money as a covers band. However, they did occasionally pop into recording studios to put out original material. Their most successful effort, "Seagull", reached number 33 in 1976, and was penned by Brian Gibbs of popsike wonders The Answers.
It's possibly due to Gibbs' involvement that "Seagull" sounds uncannily like a late sixties group ballad which has somehow found itself in the charts in 1976. It's whimsical, gentle, contemplative and actually quite sweet, and wouldn't have been completely out of place on a "Circus Days" compilation LP.
The group tried to build on the track's unlikely but modest success and failed, and continued to make most of their money from the live circuit. However, another opportunity for fame and fortune arose in 1978, namely the chance to record the theme tune for the stop motion animated children's series "Cloppa Castle", based on warring tribes in some peculiar fictional alternate reality battling over the rights to oil.
The theme tune is a busy but datedly analogue synth driven beast, beginning with psychedelic phasing and steadily building into something both strident and ridiculous. "Everyday at three o'clock/ they all sit down for tea!" we are informed forcefully, as the group summarise the general activities of the puppets in the programme with passion and gusto.

Eddy Adamberry - I Am The People/ I'm A Bloodhound
Heavily John Lennon inspired "protest" 45 from the prolific Adamberry
The seventies were riddled with artists who had already endured long and fruitless careers throughout the previous decade, from the much-loved (David Bowie) to the now commonly derided (Gary Glitter). Eddy Adamberry was no exception to this rule, although sadly the seventies offered him little in the form of payday opportunities either.
He began with the Gibraltar group Los Cincos Ricardos with his brother Joe in the mid-sixties. Their three singles on Philips are agonisingly hard to track down now, although the third and final release in Autumn 1966 - a cover of The Kinks "Most Exclusive Residence For Sale" - occasionally pops up for sale at inflated prices on various auction websites.
After that, Adamberry seemed to go to ground until 1972 when he popped up with the phased, flowery and actually rather lovely Mike Batt produced solo single "Captain Jones", which failed to progress his career further. "I Am The People" was his next release, and for my money is a delightful surprise which seems to have become surprisingly overlooked in Pye's otherwise heavily plundered archives since.
It is, to be blunt, the noise of someone who has been listening to Lennon's angry protest records very closely indeed and has decided to siphon off the best bits of them and marry them with a pounding "I Am The Walrus" bounce of an arrangement (which also bears a slight resemblance to the yet-to-be-recorded "Mr Soft" by Steve Harley, strangely. Clearly lots of singers were drinking from the same water fountain at the time). It's a throaty roar of a single, and while it's hard to gauge how much Adamberry really means it - he's very non-specific about the political issues he's ticked off about, and you'd never have got Lennon ducking the issue in the same way - it's got a persuasive thrust to it and a suitably anthemic chorus. All it lacks is an instrumental break or middle eight to vary the tone.

David Hamilton - A Special Goodnight To You/ Just For The Weekend
DJ and TV links man Diddy grabs his top hat and cane
Label: Spectre
Well, I'll be blowed. "Diddy" David Hamilton is one of those broadcasters who - until the late eighties at least - felt woven into the fabric of British society. At his peak, his agent must have struggled to find time to deal with anyone else on their books. Not only was he a top BBC Radio DJ, he was also a dependable voiceover man, rent-a-host, quiz show guest and newsreader. A walking, talking example of the oft-used phrase "A safe pair of hands", it felt as if there was literally nothing the man couldn't do.
Hold that thought for a second, though, because for all his strengths, Hamilton really wasn't a top flight singer. This single was released in 1967 when he was, among other things, the continuity announcer for ABC Television in Manchester. His sign-off catchphrase would always be "A very special goodnight to you", and it seems this became well known enough in the region to warrant a single of the same name. Enter the mysterious Spectre Records, who so far as I can see didn't release anything else at all, to do the honours.
I suspect that Hamilton had his tongue firmly in his cheek when recording this, especially during the smooth spoken word segments, but as a novelty single it's neither muckling nor mickling - not funny or gimmicky enough to stand out, but not good enough as a song or performance to pass as a pop hit from a famous face. It's a rinky-dink piece of daffy easy listening and has a little bit of the slick, middle-class broadcasters charm about it, but that's the bare minimum you'd expect.
Clearly the public agreed, and nobody really bought this record. That wouldn't put Hamilton off fronting others, though, as in 1973 he put out the Tommy Cooper referencing single "Just Like That" - which is considerably worse than this. Elsewhere, he also put out a promotional single for Provident Personal Credit snappily titled "If You Need A Little Help With Money Just Spend Three Minutes With David Hamilton" which sounds a bit threatening or even obscene, to tell the truth.

Aerial Landscape - Proposition 13/ Are You Sleeping
Harbingers of Doom and Gloom with Chirpy Melodies
Label: RCA Victor
Sweeping generalisations are often a bad idea - few things are likely to aggravate people more on social media, for one thing - but nonetheless, if you wanted to highlight the key differences between UK and US hippy pop in the late sixties, chief among them would probably be the mood and tone. If US performers were often intense young men and ladies who were either desperate to prove they were poets like Bob Dylan or wanted us to know that the way we lived our lives was simply Not Good, a lot of UK acts tended to be experimental, childlike and giddy, and more obsessed with improvements in recording studio technology than the Vietnam War. Yes, it's a generalisation and there are exceptions on either side of the pond, but still...
Aerial Landscape produced this rather strange single in 1968 which somehow crossed the streams. The lyrics appear to be pointing towards a coming storm of no specified kind ("The sands of time are shifting/ and the lights are going out!" they begin, before adding "As the Grim Reaper is sleeping/ in comes Satan with his rake") while the melody behind them is merry and triumphant. It's not a complete mismatch, of course. Aerial Landscape, bless their souls, appear to be optimistic enough to believe that their underground movement will mean that the greedheads of the world will shortly been shown the door. We're still waiting, chaps.
The song is blessed with some beautiful arrangements which, while chirpy, keep things moving along and enhance a fairly simple (if occasionally lyrically oblique) protest song into something approaching pop. It's the kind of song whose style wouldn't last beyond the sixties and while it feels timelocked in a particular era as a result, it's still a strong listen.

Reupload - Circus Circus Circus - Inside The Inside Out Man/ No Hips
Moody post-punk/ indie from luckless mates of Rik Mayall
Label: BDI
When Rik Mayall passed away, one of the things I expected to go a tiny bit viral - but never did - was the clip of him appearing in a music video with the obscure eighties indie band Circus Circus Circus. During the promo for their debut single "Butcher Bitches", Mayall plays the role of a nerdish fan of the group, aping their dress sense and their moves (right down to falling over when one of their guitarists accidentally hits the deck). I'd be a liar if I claimed it was a red-hot, top grade Mayall performance, but it was done for free when he was feeling unwell, and entirely for the benefit of a band who didn't even have a proper record deal at that point. If nothing else, I felt that it underlined his good nature and his spirit, as well as being a performance which had barely ever been repeated anywhere.
"Butcher Bitches" was a fairly swinging piece of garage rock and roll, and didn't really prepare anybody for their follow up. While "Inside The Inside Out Man", written about Francis Bacon, initially has a faintly "House of the Rising Sun" air of doom and despondency about it, it's closer in style to the moodier indie releases of the day; more long mac and shades than cardigans and NHS glasses. It's also really rather good. Filled to the brim with moody guitar riffs and quivering sixties vocal harmonies, it's a huge leap forward from their debut. It managed to get television exposure on "The Chart Show" at the point of its release, but they never gained serious traction in the indie charts despite the publicity - and two more singles later ("Magic Girl" and "Under The Library") and they threw in the towel. An album was recorded but never released, something which somebody could consider remedying.
The group were formed in Beckenham, South London in 1985 and consisted of Doug Hart on vocals, Ric Clark and Mark Shaw on guitars, Richard Bentley on bass guitar and Rich Spicer on drums.

About two months earlier, certain events took place that would greatly affect the famous girls' school.
In the Palace of Ramat, two young men sat smoking. One man was dark, with large, sad looking eyes. He was Prince Ali Yusuf, the Sheikh of Ramat, a small but very rich country in the Middle East. The other young man, Bob Rawlinson, had light hair and freckles, and was the prince's private pilot. The two men had been at school together and were very close friends.
'I know - I know. I am quite certain now that if I stay I will be killed.' Ali spoke without emotion - as if his future was only of slight interest to him.
'There is only one thing I wish to take with me,' said Ali Yusuf. He took out a small leather bag from under his shirt, and poured its contents on the table.


Relative to history, housing remains affordable but consumers remain squeezed and incomes are falling.
Housing demand is weak but supply is low causing price to remain remarkably stable for now.
Rising interest rates dramatically impact housing affordability; and rates have been rising.
I believe the consumer will continue to get weaker as incomes continue to fall causing the housing market to take a down turn over the next year.
After bottoming in 2009, home prices showed strong growth through 2013, and has since cooled off slightly. Over the last 2 years, home price growth has been remarkably flat due to an interesting tug of war between supply and demand.
Focusing on the growth rate of housing as opposed to the nominal price of housing is important. For example, if home prices are growing at 10% year over year and then falls to 5% growth year over year, home prices are still going up, although at a slower pace. Although prices are still moving upwards. Measuring housing in this fashion often allows you to front run real estate moves because the growth rate has to fall before becoming negative and waiting until the growth rate is negative (or home prices falling in nominal terms) is often to late. Studying the change in growth rate allows you to stay ahead of the curve.
Currently the growth in home prices has been very flat at around ~5% year over year. Since the growth rate is flat, this provides little insight into the direction of the next move in the real estate market. It is now even more important to understand what is causing home price growth to remain so stable.
Supply is very low, putting upward pressure on prices, while demand is weak putting downward pressure on prices; the result being home price growth that has been flat for almost 2 years.


The debut episode of "Will Smith's Bucket List" got the adrenaline pumping, and not just because it centered on skydiving.
In the new Facebook Watch series, which debuted Wednesday, Smith and his family travel to Dubai so the "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" actor's wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, can go skydiving, his 50th birthday wish. Smith's sons, Trey and Jaden; his mother-in-law, Adrienne Banfield-Norris; and his father-in-law, Rodney Norris, also join the couple.
Once she lands on the ground safely, after jumping, it seems the intensity of the episode turns to sweet relief until Norris and his partner in tandem land, and it's evident that he is unconscious.
Smith explains to his manager over the phone what happened.
"Rodney had a mild heart attack after jumping out of the plane," he shared.
"That's a rough start to the 'Bucket List,'" he added.
Jaden takes this as an opportunity to remind his dad how risky his behavior is.
Out of the hospital, he rejoins his family for a boat ride, where Jaden expresses his elation over his recovery.
"Does it count if I don't remember it?" Norris joked.
In the next "Bucket List" episode, Smith attempts to strike swimming with sharks off his list. On others, Smith visits Cuba to run a half-marathon, tries his hand at Bollywood dancing, hones a stand-up comedy routine with Dave Chappelle and races Trey F1-style.
New episodes of the series are released on Wednesdays (12 p.m. ET/9 a.m. PT).

Q: Failed to enable constraints MySQL using MySqlClient.DataHandler Error message
The above image shows the error image whenever I tried to execute the sql command to get data table in VB .NET as shown below: (note: sqlstr and dttable has been declared before function headers, therefore no declaration here)
Public Function retrieveProducts() As DataTable
        sqlstr = "SELECT * FROM products;"
        dttable = MysqlClient.DataHandler.GetDataTable(sqlstr, conn, True)
        If Not IsNothing(dttable) Then
            Return dttable
        End If
        Return Nothing
    End Function

Before you guys link the problem to any "duplicate" question, I want to inform that I had browsed a ton of answers from similar questions and none of them worked for me.
Here are the solutions I tried:

*

*Failed to enable constraints. One or more rows contain values violating non-null, unique, or foreign-key constraints

I tried ? dttable.GetErrors(0).RowError on debug mode and it says "Referenced object has a value of 'Nothing'."

*I also tried removing constraints of data table in my program (putting the remove function before the MysqlClient.DataHandler.GetDataTable function causes nothing to be returned)

Note:
The solution for dataset.enforceConstraints = false should be my last resort since my supervisor requested the program structure to revolve around MySqlClient data handler. If it's possible I wanted to resolve this without using data set.
As for the table itself, it has a foreign key constraint referencing to another table, the values in the table didnt violate any non-null and unique constraints. Besides that, other table with foreign key constraint too however, can be retrieved successfully. So I am confused with what is wrong.

The present volume studies the application of concepts from non-equilibrium thermodynamics to a variety of research topics. Emphasis is on the Maximum Entropy Production (MEP) principle and applications to Geosphere-Biosphere couplings.
Meisel builds a rough history from major social, psychological, and cosmological turning points in the imagining of chaos. He uses examples from literature, philosophy, painting, graphic art, science, linguistics, music, and film, particularly exploring the remarkable shift in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries from conceiving of chaos as disruptive to celebrating its liberating and energizing potential. Discussions of Sophocles, Plato, Lucretius, Calderon, Milton, Haydn, Blake, Faraday, Chekhov, Faulkner, Wells, and Beckett, among others, are matched with incisive readings of art by Brueghel, Rubens, Goya, Turner, Dix, Dada, and the futurists. Meisel addresses the revolution in mapping energy and entropy and the manifold effect of thermodynamics. He then uses this chaotic frame to elaborate on purpose, mortality, meaning, and mind.


How many people use salt on their food? My husband, Mike, and I were just at the movies and enjoying a nice big box of popcorn. Although I thought there was the perfect amount of salt already on it, I noticed that Mike continued to put more on. So it got me thinking about how we use salt and how many different forms of salt there are.
We live in an age now where, like everything else, salt is not a bad thing in moderation, but it's not the first thing you should grab on the table, we're told. If you do use it, which kind? Regular, Kosher, popcorn, smoked, Himalayan or Hawaiian Red salt (just to name a few of which I found in my cabinet)?
I have to give Mike credit because I've never been that curious to use different kinds of salt, but he has (thus all the different kinds in the cabinet). Through his purchasing of these different salts I have then been trying to test them out -- that is, if I remember to pull the salt out of the cabinet.
My personal favorite is to use smoked salt on hot brown rice with just a hair of real hand-churned butter (my favorite find over the summer); and let me tell you what, it is the bomb of flavors in your mouth, it is so good!
But I'm curious, how exactly do you use these different salts besides the obvious of course? I'm interested in knowing: how many of you have used some of these salts in your homes?
If you have any ideas for me, send them to my email (debgreatheart@aol.com) so I can try some new recipes.
The other newest curiosity -- and biggest thing I didn't know about -- is the new adventure people are having with grilling with salt plates. Yep, you're reading that right: salt plates. Personally I think they're absolutely beautiful. I would never put them on the grill; I would use them instead for display in my house, but you would only understand this comment if you saw my house. The salt plate is something Mike received as a gift, as he does do a lot of grilling. I will have to let you know how that turns out.
I have a recipe here that uses the Hawaiian red salt (it is from a company that specializes in olive oil and vinegar and also sells Hawaiian red sea salt). If you're a person that also enjoys lamb, this recipe will be right up your alley. Enjoy!
In a glass casserole dish, stir in your balsamic vinegar, garlic, salt and pepper. Add lamb chops and roll them around so that they are well covered with balsamic. Cover with plastic and refrigerate for several hours.
When you are ready to cook, remove the marinating chops and discard the marinade. In a hot skillet, add olive oil and sear the chops for 2-3 minutes per side, depending upon your desired temperature. Find a great Pure Mountain side dish to serve go with these marvelous lamb chops.

Q: virt-manager is not working on Ubuntu; there is no pop-up I'm trying to use virt-manager (0.9.5) on an Ubuntu server (version 14.04).  I can connect to the Ubuntu server.  I connect to the Ubuntu server via Putty, TurboVNC, or via the IP Management Interface with a web browser and connect via a remote console.  When I use the virt-manager command, I go to the next command line.  There is no error and nothing pops up.  I configured Putty to Enable X11 forwarding.  The /etc/ssh_config and /etc/sshd_config files are configured to allow X11 forwarding.  libvirt and xterm have been installed.  virsh list shows VMs running.
"virt-manager --debug" returns an error about "Unable to initialize GTK: could not open display"
Why cannot I see a pop up after I use the virt-manager command when I am root?  I desire to have a GUI pop up to create a VM.
Update:  Xserver was already installed on the laptop. I changed the repositories the Ubuntu server pointed to and upgraded virt-manager to 1.2 with an apt-get command.  Don't apt-get commands install necessary dependencies?  virt-manager still isn't working. The upgrade worked (virt-manager --version proves it).  But this following command shows libosinfo is 2.9-1:
apt-cache policy libosinfo-1.0.0
I thought virt-manager 1.2 required libosinfo to be at 2.10.
virt-manager still doesn't work.  Why isn't virt-manager working?  If libosinfo wasn't installed properly with the apt-get install virt-manager command, how do I upgrade libosinfo?

A: You need to have X server installed on you windows laptop. If you didn't install it on you windows laptop, you don't have it. It is part of every how-to.


An increasing number of smaller businesses have begun to invest in Transportation Management Systems (TMS) specifically to help them get their shipping costs under control. Are you still doing everything on paper?
A TMS can have many different functions, but broadly, its purpose is to optimize freight routing and billing, and to centralize freight data for easy access. For example, it can allow agents to easily look up the shipping costs for a product at the point-of-sale. It can also track shipments, bills, and payables to enable company-wide auditing and optimization.
Freight costs are one of the most controllable elements of a business today, but a company sometimes needs help to get them under control, and that's where a TMS can come into play.
1 - Faster turnaround times.
One of the biggest single benefits a TMS brings is speed. Paperless electronic processes will shave hours, days, and potentially even weeks off processing time. Further, predictive analysis can save even more time by allowing you to pre-plan for needs based on historical analysis.
Better communication likewise means that any hiccups in the processes can be identified earlier, speeding their resolution and minimizing inconvenience to the customer.
2 - Rapid eBilling and payment verification.
Most TMS platforms support electronic billing via EDI 210, which is the standard used throughout the freight industry. When the shipper, carrier, and recipient are all on compatible systems, this can greatly reduce the time between bills sent and payments received.
Often, it's entirely automated, with the recipients' systems processing the payment as soon as it appears.
3 - Faster quotes bring more customers.
Businesses are increasingly unwilling to wait days for an estimate, especially for a transaction they consider routine. With a TMS, your employees should be able to look up virtually any freight quote within a few minutes, at most, with extremely high reliability.
After all, if you're still taking a week to get an estimate to a customer, you can be virtually guaranteed that he's spending that week calling other sources.
4 - Find least-cost options for every shipment.
This gives you far more ability to minimize freight costs on every shipment, which creates value you can pass straight on to customers - and that's important today! With free/reduced cost shipping being a major selling point online, anything you can do to reduce costs can potentially bring in more customers.
5 - More customer empowerment.
Absolutely everything mentioned above can be implemented on your website to give your customers more choices. A user friendly website can bring huge benefits to your customers, and make their lives far easier.
From finding better rates, to empowering customers, to forecasting, there's little limit to what a well-integrated TMS can do for your operations.

As yet i havnt used mach3 but i will be shortly when i finish my mill. Basicly all operating systems use the same codes with a few differance which im not going to go into here.
evrything i do is in mm ( im in Australia) but they still use imperial measurements in some parts of the world so youll find nearly all programs can be setup to use metric or imperial just depends what you prefer. so depending on which way you system is setup will depend on what 5 means. i ment it to be 5mm above the job.
your tool speed can be worked out like this: say your using a 10mm drill made from high speed steel the calculation would be 300x25/10 ( 300 is rounded from pie 3.14, 25 is the allowable suface speed of high speed steel 10 is the diamater of the tool.
the same caculation is used for carbide except the suface speed for carbide is 120 your feed rate is normally one tenth your speed but this can vary considerably depending on your materail being used ( what your work piece is made out of) age of tool etc etc.
glad to help, going though this stuff keeps it fresh in my mind so if you need anything else just yell out.
such as a simple S, C, O or a U type turns?
im pretty sure my setup is a little wrong, i cannot seem to get this circle going .. any suggestions?
correct me if I'm wrong somebody, but shouldn't we get an error with a smaller radius than 0.5 in this particular code? Any smaller is impossible, and Mach just makes it 0.5 no matter what you specify smaller.
When arcs come into play, theres definitely more than one way to skin a cat. I+J, Incremental or absolute distance from/to this/that point. Some machines methods can send your brain spinning in short order.
As Ian said, if your doing letters and stuff, its time to move on to learning a cam package. However, you still need to know the method behind the madness. Good luck.
Lazycam thats with Mach is one of many programs.
Sounds like your already more than your everyday average Joe Welder. I remember at one job, we made hydraulic cylinders for military aircraft. Needless to say you have to be certified. So when cert time rolled around, we just hooked up the gun to a mill table, turned on the table feed, set the wire feeder to automatic mode and let it lay the beads down for us. Your dog could get certified if need be. Hows that for a confidence booster to the guy shoving out tons of equipment out the back of a c130. There all welded robotic now I think, so it's not really an issue anymore.
Code looks good. You shouldn't need to specify a feed rate except for the very first time, or when the feed rate changes. Going from a feed move,to a rapid, and back to a feed move will not change the rate. Also makes it allot easier to edit, if need be! Only seen two potential errors. The last perimeter overlaps the previous perimeter on the first line move. Could be intended, I don't know. Also I see that in some lines you a use a space between the axis and the value, and no spaces between the two in other sections. (X 1.5 or X1.5) I see that Mach has no problem with this, but other machines may not run the code this way. Just a heads up.
1 more question for the night .. in the display box .. is there a way to zoom and and see the design better?
mouse wheel zooms for me, and pan is hold down right mouse button, tilt is hold down left mouse. I'm sure there must be keyboard hotkeys, but I don't know them.
