Peter & Paul Okoye (Psquare) Full Biography - Biography

Biography: Peter & Paul Okoye (Psquare)
P-Square are a Nigerian R&B duo composed of identical twin brothers Peter and Paul Okoye born 18 November 1981 (Age 33) Jos, Nigeria. Native of Ifite Dunu, Anambra State of Nigeria. They are Recording artist, singer,song-writer, performer,
Instruments vocals. They produce and release their albums through Square Records and they have been active since 2003 till date.
The story of P-Square began in St. Mulumba secondary school, a small Catholic school in Jos, Nigeria. Identical twins Peter and Paul joined their school music and drama club where they began singing, dancing, and mimicking songs by MC Hammer, Bobby Brown and Michael Jackson.
They later formed a cappella quartet called "MMMPP" (M Clef a.k.a. Itemoh, Michael, Melvin, Peter and Paul). Drawing inspiration from their music idol Michael Jackson, they began break dancing, formed the group called "Smooth Criminals" in 1997. They dropped M Clef from the group "MMMPP" which later was changed to "MMPP". Their talent and precise dance routine soon made them household names in the city of Jos, where they performed at school functions and other occasions.
Later in 1999, Peter and Paul returned to music school to develop their skills on keyboard, drums, bass and rhythm guitar. Their work includes the soundtracks for a number of films like Tobi, Mama Sunday, Moment of Bitterness and Evas River.
Later in 1999, they applied to the University of Abuja to study Business Administration. The Smooth Criminals became loose when its members left to study in various other universities. Subsequently Peter and Paul formed their own group, variously called "Double P", "P&P", "Da Pees" etc, until they eventually settled on "P Square". They are managed by Bayo Odusami aka Howie T, a seasoned concert promoter and the CEO of Adrot Nigeria Limited.
In 2001, "P-Square" won the "Grab Da Mic" competition, and hence Benson & Hedges sponsored their debut album, titled Last Nite, which was released under Timbuk2 music label. P-Square was also nominated as "Most Promising African Group" in the Kora Awards three months after the release of their debut album. They eventually won the 2003 Amen Award for "Best R&B Group"
In 2005, P Square released their second album, Get Squared under their own label, Square Records. This album was marketed nationwide by TJoe Enterprises, although they were still managed by Howie T of Adrot Nigeria Limited. The video for the second album held the #1 position on the MTV Base chart for four straight weeks.
Psquare And Their Elder Brother/Manager, Jude
They have an ever growing fans based across South Africa with a particular stronghold of diehard fans in Cape Town. Late in 2007, they released their best selling album so far, "Game Over." It sold 8 million copies worldwide.
In 2009, P-Square released their fourth studio album, "Danger". The album features collaborations with 2-Face Idibia, J Martins and Frenzy. The first single called "Danger" is a hip hop song with cutting synths and a frog bass baseline similar to an Eminem song. The video affirms this with the presence of clowns and staggered movements in front of the camera reminiscent of comical videos by Eminem. It was on the 18th January 2009 that Akon's label,Konvict signed Wizkid, Psquare, Tuface. Psquare has performed alongside the following international artists like Ginuwine, Sean Paul, Akon and Busola Keshiro. Meanwhile P-Square are now located in Lagos as their residence in Nigeria.
Psquare And Rick Ross
In August 2012, P Square released a single titled "Alingo", it became a smashing hit that took the whole of Africa by storm. The video shot and codirected by their elder brother Jude "Engees" Okoye and Clarence Peters of Capital hill Production was rated as the best video that year. Their latest smash hit again "Personally" released mid June 2013. The video is a tribute to late Michael Jackson who inspired their musical career till date. The video and song was such a hit that it got the attention of Jermaine Jackson, late Michael Jackson's brother who commended the stars for doing such a tremendous job and hoped to meet with them.
The duo are reported to handle most of their production/beat making in house. The band has been faced with many controversies for their habit of sampling western songs and popular hits in their records. They have addressed the issue many times in interviews as well as in the lyrics of their songs. Technically speaking, P Square does more in the line of reconstructing the drum patterns, chord progressions or lyrics of the sampled songs as against actually cutting parts of the song and directly sampling into their production. This accounts for the largely electronic feel of their sound. Some of the songs which have been called up on this account include "Get Squared", "Game Over", "Danger" and others.
On 4th April, 2010, P-Square was named the Artist of the Year at the KORA All Africa Music Awards in Ouagadougou, Burkina-Faso while they were in London for a Concert at the Troxy, and they will receive a whopping sum of $1 Million Dollars as the Award Winners, in Ebebiyin City.
The Brothers And Their Fans
These perfect twins as people say, have undoubtedly gained the hearts of their numerous fans all over the world. Some desperate ladies as Peter called them in one of his interviews about their embarrassing moments, kissed and romanced them in public place.
No doubt, P Square is the most successful African artists, and this is evident with the massive success of their numerous concerts in the continent. Over the years, the three time MTV award winning group has made an enviable impact in Africa, doing sold out concerts. And till date, the demand is still waxing stronger.
Below are some of the awards they have won over time:
– Hip Hop World Awards 2006 – Best R&B Album (Get Squared)
– Hip Hop World Awards 2006 – Best Music Video (Get Squared)
– Hip Hop World Awards 2006 – Album Of The Year (Get Squared)
– Hip Hop World Awards 2006 – Song Of The Year (Bizzy Body)
– City Mag 9th Awards Show (2006) – Best Hip Hop Group
– Nigerian Music Awards (NMA) 2006 – Album of the year (Get Squared)
– Nigerian Music Awards (NMA) 2006 – Music Video of the year (Get Squared)
– 2007 Channel O Music Video Awards – Best Duo Or Group
– 2008 Channel O Music Video Awards – Video Of The Year ("Do Me")
– 2010 Channel O Music Video Awards- Best Group
– MTV Africa Music Awards 2008 – Best Group
– MTV Africa Music Awards 2010
– KORA Awards 2010 – Artiste of the Year
In 2013, Paul Okoye, one half of the musical duo, P-Square, was involved in a paternity scandal with a lady named Elshamah Igbanoi who claimed that Paul impregnated her; it was subsequently brought to our notice that he accepted the baby after agreeing to go for a DNA test to ascertain the paternity of the baby boy. These Nigerian celebrities are both married. Peter Okoye has been married to Lola Omotayo since November 2013 while the brother Paul Nonso Okoye is married to Anita Tonye Isama just last month, March 2014.

The latest news on air which their fans won't stop talking about is the controversy in the Okoye family. The news is that the Okoye brothers that have been known as P-square for a very long time now want to forge their own parts due to several misunderstandings they are having lately. We heard the dispute must have been caused by their wives, considering the fact that they had always been together for as long as we all can remember, until women formally came into their lives as wives.
Their Late Mother, Mrs Josephine Okoye
Their mum died on 11th July 2012, five hours after a successful heart operation in India. Rumor had it that P-square are members of illuminatti, a very powerful deadly cult as people say, so for that reason, people hypothesized that they are responsible for the death of their own dear mum since nothing could be pointed at as the cause of the woman's death five hours after a successfully carried out operation in India which is regarded worldwide as one of the countries with the very best cardiothoracic surgeons.
But in the end, they denied not having hands in her death as anyone else in their shoes would.

SOME planets around other stars could have life hidden under layers of weird high-pressure ice, in oceans far deeper than Earth's.
Extreme pressures can create unusual forms of ice rarely seen on Earth. To investigate what this means for other planets, Lena Noack at the Royal Observatory of Belgium and her colleagues modelled rocky worlds with very deep oceans.
They found that on a planet with Earth's mass, a layer of high-pressure ice can form in oceans about 170 kilometres deep – more than 15 times the depth of the lowest point in Earth's oceans.
Given ample heat from the planet's interior, water can remain liquid under the ice long enough for life to take hold. The model works for planets up to 10 Earth masses (Icarus, doi.org/bjxk).
Such modelling is speculative, but could apply to worlds within our solar system. Noack notes that Jupiter's moon Ganymede has a lot of water as a proportion of its mass, far more than Earth does. Depending on heat from the interior, it's possible Ganymede could have high-pressure ice covering a liquid layer, and Noack plans to apply her models there.

The Penguin Guide to Jazz is een muziekgids die in 1992 voor het eerst werd gepubliceerd door Penguin Books in Londen. Het beoogt een uitgebreid overzicht te geven van het hele veld van jazz-cd's.

Geschiedenis
De  Penguin Guide to Jazz  werd voor het eerst gepubliceerd in 1992 in het Verenigd Koninkrijk door Penguin Books door de Britse muziekjournalisten Richard Cook en Brian Morton. De laatste editie tot dusver (10e editie) verscheen in december 2010. Het naslagwerk geeft een overzicht van alle jazz-cd's, die verkrijgbaar zijn in Europese en Amerikaanse winkels in de staat van uitgave. De cover van de achtste editie van de Penguin Guide to Jazz verscheen met een foto van de drummer Philly Joe Jones door Francis Wolff uit 1959.

Na de eerste editie in 1992 komt er elke twee jaar een nieuwe editie uit. Elke nieuwe editie bevat nieuwe items uit nieuwe en heruitgaven, maar uitverkochte cd's worden regelmatig verwijderd. De achtste editie, gepubliceerd in 2006, bevatte tweeduizend nieuwe inzendingen. Terwijl de zevende editie nog The Penguin Guide of Jazz on CD heette, kreeg de laatste editie door de ontwikkeling van de geluidsdragers de naam The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings (ISBN 0-14-102327-9 ).<ref>De eerste editie uit 1992 heette nog steeds `` The Penguin Guide to Jazz on CD, LP and Cassette .</ref>

 Structuur en inhoud
Het deel (6e editie) bevat een inleidend deel, het lexicondeel en een verklarende woordenlijst op X en 1730 pagina's. Het inleidende gedeelte (pp. I–X) bevat korte commentaren op eerdere edities, korte biografieën van de redactie, een inleiding tot jazz op geluidsdragers, een toelichting op het sterrensysteem en criteria als opnamekwaliteit, prijs en speelduur.

In het hoofdgedeelte staan de artiesten in alfabetische volgorde. Elk item begint met een korte biografische inleiding, voordat een gedetailleerde lijst van de beschikbare opnamen begint. Elke cd krijgt een beoordeling van maximaal vier sterren, details over het label en het respectievelijke catalogusnummer, de muzikanten die aan het album hebben bijgedragen, evenals de maand en het jaar van opname. Het album wordt dan in verschillende lengtes in één sectie besproken of meerdere albums van de artiest worden samengevat. De beoordelingen variëren van **** (een geweldige plaat die blijvend plezierig is en niet mag ontbreken in een uitgebreide collectie) tot ** (*) (bevat dingen die belangrijk zijn. Bewonderaars van de artiest zullen ervan genieten, maar een aantal nadelen spreken er tegen) tot aan het kritische oordeel * (een absolute schande, wie er ook verantwoordelijk voor is). In zeer weinig gevallen, wat de auteurs benadrukken, kennen ze een speciaal onderscheidingsteken toe in de vorm van een kroon. Het toont albums waarvoor ze een zeer persoonlijke bewondering tonen, zoals de albums Spiritual Unity door Albert Ayler, The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady door Charles Mingus, The Original American Decca Recordings door Count Basie , Machine Gun door Peter Brötzmann, Dial Recordings door Charlie Parker en natuurlijk Kind of Blue van Miles Davis, en die ze beschouwen als essentiële albums in een jazz-cd-collectie. In de achtste editie (2006) identificeerden de auteurs ook 200 uitstekende albums als basis voor de collectie Core Collection, die de belangrijkste gebieden van de jazz beslaat.

Bootlegs en nummers van twijfelachtige herkomst, evenals limited editions zoals door Mosaic Records, werden niet opgenomen. Ook ontbreken de zogeheten Various Artists-compilaties, die in de eerste editie waren opgenomen.

 Literatuur
Er zijn verschillende edities die aanzienlijk verschillen qua titel, inhoudsconcept, aantal pagina's en formaat:

Federal Judge Dismisses Miller's Election Suit in Alaska US Senate Contest
Brad Friedman,
After requiring Alaska's GOP U.S. Senate candidate Joe Miller to file his federal lawsuit by Monday (yesterday), the federal judge in the case has now dismissed it without even waiting for the reply from the state, which was ordered due by Wednesday (tomorrow).
From Anchorage Daily News as posted within the last hour…
A federal judge today dismissed Republican Joe Miller's federal lawsuit seeking to overturn the results of the Nov. 2 election, clearing the way for U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski to be officially declared the winner.
She's now scheduled to be sworn in for a new six-year term on Jan. 5.
U.S. District Judge Ralph Beistline issued a 14-page order this afternoon in which he said Miller wasn't raising any federal issues that he needed to resolve. He ordered Miller's entire federal case dismissed.
Beistline wrote that he would not second guess the Alaska Supreme Court, which already had ruled against Miller.
Miller said in a statement that he was disappointed by today's ruling and thought the U.S. Constitution's election clause presented a significant federal issue.
"Specifically, should the courts be required to follow the legislature's standard for the selection of U.S. Senators or create their own?" Miller said in a written statement. "My legal team believes that the clear language of the Election Clause as well as precedent support our claims. Thus, we are evaluating the ruling and determining what our next step should be."
The judge said state lawyers didn't need to respond to Miller's latest filings in federal court. But he also said Miller's technical arguments were not frivolous.
"What we have before us is a poorly drafted state statute," Beistline wrote. "Wisdom would suggest that the Alaska Legislature act to clarify it to avoid similar disputes in the future. For now we have to work with what we have and that is what the Alaska Supreme Court has done."
Last night we published our detailed analysis of Joe Miller's federal complaint, in which he pointed out Constitutional questions about the way in which the Diebold optical-scan system was used to tally votes. We also pointed out what might have been a fatal flaw in his complaint. Whether Miller will appeal Beistline's decision remains to be seen.
Beistline's 14-page dismissal is here [PDF].
UPDATE 8:22pm PT: A few thoughts after reading Beistline's dismissal…
To break down the judge's ruling, there were three counts he needed to respond to (as we detailed last night), each one included an allegation by Miller of a Constitutional violation. I'll do my best to quickly recap each count and Beistline's reasoning for dismissing each:
I. THE ELECTIONS CLAUSE (COUNT ONE)
Here Miller argued that Article 1, section 4 of the Constitution requires each state legislature to determine the "manner" of electing its representatives to Congress, and the legislature had done that in Alaska through their specific statutes which include how write-in ballots are to be counted. But, he argued, the state executive branch essentially overrode the legislature's Constitutionally mandated role when the Lt. Governor, who oversees the state Division of Elections (DOE), gave the DoE authority to determine "voter intent" of write-in ballots, even where the strict state statutes require exact spelling, and "no exceptions" to the requirements specified in the election code.
Beistline's dismissal of this count was the most curious, at least upon my first, quick reading. Here's the key portion:
What we have before us is a poorly drafted state statute. Wisdom would suggest that the Alaska Legislature act to clarify it to avoid similar disputes in the future. For now we have to work with what we have and that is what the Alaska Supreme Court has done.
Generally speaking, the Alaska Supreme Court is the final expositor of Alaska law. That must be the case here. It concluded that Miller's interpretation of the statute "would erode the integrity of the election system," and held that "voter intent is paramount." Under the facts presented, this Court declines to second-guess the highest Court of the state.
The process for counting the write-in ballots is constitutional under the Elections Clause, because it complies with the Alaska Supreme Court's interpretation of the relevant statutory language. Therefore, Plaintiff's claim under the Elections Clause fails.
In other words, Beistline seems to be saying, the Alaska Supreme Court found the use of "voter intent" (rather than a strict reading of the statute) to be complaint with the law, therefore, there is no Constitutional issue here. That strikes me as odd, but I'm not an attorney. The whole point of a federal case such as this, arguing Constitutional issues, is because the plaintiff, in this case Miller, finds an unconstitutional interpretation of law in his state. That the AK Supremes found the DoE's interpretation to be legal under state law hardly seems an argument for the constitutionality of their interpretation. But again, I'm not an attorney.

For the record, had the judge found for Miller here, it might have led to the disenfranchisement of thousands of voters who had misspelled Lisa Murkowski's name on their write-in ballot. In my opinion (and in that of the AK Supreme Court) "voter intent" should, indeed, be "paramount". But the language of the statute in question (AS 15.15.360) is very specific in its explanation of which ballots may be counted as valid, and goes on to explicitly decree: "The rules set out in this section are mandatory and there are no exceptions to them. A ballot may not be counted unless marked in compliance with these rules."
So while tossing out thousands of ballots for minor spelling issues may be a rather abhorrent idea, at least to me (and the state, in this case) I'd agree with Beistline that the state legislature needs to act to clarify those rules. Despite that, however, it doesn't seem as if Beistline was responsive to the Constitutional question here of whether or not the executive branch, via the Lt. Gov and the DoE, had the right to, essentially, override the legislative branch's Constitutionally mandated determination of the "Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives" as reflected by their election statutes.
II. THE EQUAL PROTECTION CLAUSE (COUNT TWO – VOTER INTENT STANDARD)
In this count, Miller alleged that the DoE's attempt to divine "voter intent" to determine validity of the ballot was entirely too vague. The Constitution's Equal Protection Clause requires "specific standards" and "uniform rules" which were lacking in this case, he argued, citing Bush v. Gore as precedent, and the state's attempt to determine "voter intent" was "vague, amorphous, subjective."
In response, Beistline wrote:
The factual situation in this case differs significantly from that in Bush. First, the write-in ballots in this case were counted and tabulated by a single state-wide election board and the determination of challenged ballots was made by a single individual, the Director. Second, although the determination of whether to count the vote is subject to a certain degree of subjectivity, the standard itself is uniform across the board. Thus, there is little, if any, likelihood that one voter's vote would be counted and another's vote, with the identical characteristics, would be rejected.
The evaluation of handwritten ballots is markedly different from "divining the intent of a voter by scrutinizing a dimpled chad" or "interpret[ing] the marks or holes or scratches on an inanimate object." The very nature of a "writein" vote pre-supposes a requirement that someone will have to read the handwriting and determine for whom the vote was cast. Under the circumstances presented, the Court cannot find the procedures followed by Defendants to have been unreasonable. Miller's challenge fails.
So the judge is saying that a single person determining which votes are valid and which ones aren't, keeps that decision from violating the Equal Protection clause. (He doesn't speak to whether having a single person decide such things, on a subjective basis, is a particularly bright idea, but that's how they do it in Alaska, for whatever reason, unlike in Minnesota where their excellent procedures involve a number of multi-partisan committees at different levels who vote on whether to accept or reject ballots that are challenged at the hand-counting level during a recount.)
Beistline's further argument that "voter intent" may be determined from human marks on write-in ballots, but not from human marks on punch-card ballots, is not particularly persuasive —- to me at least. But that's how he is able to separate this case from Bush v. Gore where it was found, by the U.S. Supreme Court, to be too difficult to auger voter intent from punch card ballots where the chad was not cleanly removed.
III. THE EQUAL PROTECTION CLAUSE (COUNT THREE – DISCRIMINARY POLICY REGARDING "REJECTED" BALLOTS)
In this final count, Miller argued that ballots counted by hand, as necessary to determine write-in votes, received greater weight than ballots where pre-printed candidates were selected. His reasoning, as we explained in some detail in our analysis of his complaint after it was filed last night, is largely because ballots rejected by the Diebold optical-scan systems used in Alaska were not re-examined to determine if, in fact, the computer tallied result was accurate. But rejected ballots were examined by hand to determine whether or not there was a valid write-in vote on them.
The result, Miller argued, was that ballots with write-in votes received a "second bite at the apple", whereas voters for pre-printed candidates did not and that is a violation of the Constitution's Equal Protection Clause, as per Bush v. Gore again, in that it gives greater weight to some ballots over others.
Beistline dismissed the allegation entirely, responding that Miller's factual explanation of the counting process was simply inaccurate:
Plaintiff made a similar argument under state law, which was addressed by the Superior Court Judge and by the Alaska Supreme Court. Judge Carey noted that the record reflects that division workers did actually review every ballot, not just write-in ballots, in the counting process, examining the ovals and making individual determinations of the so-called "undervote, overvote" ballots (those ballots which were rejected by the tally machines for either having too many ovals filled in or no oval filled in). See Carey Order at 19. The Alaska Supreme Court carefully examined the record and concluded that "the record does not support Miller's contention that ballots . . . were treated differently depending on whether they were cast for candidates whose names were pre-printed on the ballot." Accordingly, there appears to be no factual basis for this cause of action.
He further rejected the idea that differing methods of counting ballots, in any case, violates the Equal Protection Clause either —- even though Bush v. Gore, at least to my memory, was pretty clear on that —- largely, it seems, because no other court has found that to be the case:
In short, "[n]o court has held that the mere use of different methods of counting ballots constitutes an equal protection violation." This Court finds that even if the record reflected only a machine count of Miller's votes and a hand-count of write-in votes, it is not an action that rises to the level of an Equal Protection violation.
Given that differing voting machines have differing rates of counting errors (though that was not argued by Miller in this case), it's disturbing to see Beistline's finding here that ballots can be counted by all manner of differing machines —- presumably even in the same county —- and it would make no difference at all, at least not as far as the Equal Protection Clause is concerned.
I've updated the initial text from the Anchorage Daily News above, to reflect their addition of Miller's response to the news, where he is quoted as saying he was "disappointed by today's ruling and thought the U.S. Constitution's election clause presented a significant federal issue.":
So it seems he's weighing his options for an appeal here, and seems to be focusing on Count One, as detailed above, where it does seem as if the judge didn't even bother to address the Constitutionality of the question. I've got a call in to Miller and will update this item with any noteworthy details if/when I hear back from him.
The fact that Beistline dismissed the case in full, even before the state's response, and "even without a motion to dismiss pending, he just did it on his own (sua sponte)", as one Alaska source familiar with state law noted tonight, is also interesting. If any legal eagles out there has any thoughts on that, I'd love to hear from you in comments.
If Miller chooses to press on with his case, the next stop would be the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.

And by "it", I mean my new favorite print: the newspaper print! Style evolution is such a funny thing, but one thing that has remains about my personal style taste is my love for a loud but neutral print. Muted florals, small diameter polka dots and classic animal prints (leopard is essentially a neutral) add such dimension and can elevate any look from Fashion to Fashun. And though not traditional, the newspaper print deserves to be amongst the closet greats!
There's something about the attitude/vibe/mood it gives off that is so appealing. Adjectives that come to mind are metropolitan, street, urban, bold, etc. In the same vein as animal print, newspaper print makes a statement of sorts of being urban animals, roaming through busy streets and hectic concrete jungles. Its uses are flexible similar to leopard as a staple neutral because it can be paired with any color, styled up with heels like in this look for an East Coast vibe, or down with a pair of high top Nike's for a West Coast situation. The casual nature of joggers limits the use of this garment in particular, but imagine the statement of this print on a pair of cigarette work trousers paired with a deep green blazer.
Speaking of joggers, let's talk a bit more detail about these. This pair hails from the men's section at your local Forever 21 and they are the most comfortable and perfectly warm pair I own! For size reference, I'm in a medium and they (thankfully) do not give the saggy man crotch that often happens when we venture into the masculine side of the store. Purchasing tip: if you have thicker thighs, when looking for joggers, don't sleep on the men's section. If you get a size down from your ladies size, the upper legs still have plenty of room and the entire pant tends to be longer, so you can achieve this relaxed, but not baggy look when they are rolled up.
This print is obviously not for everyone (T thought it was so intrusive) as it has heavy street style, cultural looks about it. But if you are in the mood for something different enough to turn a head or two I encourage you to pick up my current obsession!

Q: Why was this answer incorrect? This question appeared in my homework, and we went over it in class today.
Solve the Zeros:
$$3x^2 = -81$$
My solution:
$$3x^2=-81\\3x=\pm9i\\x=\pm3i$$
Correct Solution:
$$3x^2=-81\\x^2=-27\\x=\sqrt{-27}\\x=\sqrt{9}\sqrt{3}\sqrt{-1}\\x=\pm3i\sqrt{3}$$
Why is the text book's solution correct, and not mine?

A: In your solution, when you extracted the square root of on both sides of your equation, you forgot to extract the square root of 3 on the left side.
$$\sqrt{3x^2} \neq 3x$$
The correct extraction would be:
$$\sqrt{3x^2} = \sqrt3x$$
This was your only mistake.
From now on, try getting rid of constants before extracting a square root, if possible. Do this until you're familiar with this type of operations.

It came! Beautiful People It Came!!!! I am so excited I want to climb on top of my building and scream "ABOUT TIME" My drop spindle arrived today! It was waiting for me when I got home. I will name my spindle "Mr. Blue" funny really how I came to that name… so this is what happened… when I placed the order I had requested that it come in blue. I honestly thought that when they were referring to color I thought they meant the color of the fiber!!(lol) oh well that's my bad. The fiber that came with Mr. Blue is sooo soft and smells like fabric softener! I was half expecting it to smell like hay and piss. I can tell that I am going to enjoy learning how to Spin!

1st Gear: Jaguar has confirmed it's working on a new "X-Type-like" small sedan set to slot into the pretty kitty line-up below the XF with a price expected to start at around $45,000. Autocar reports this morning that company insiders tell them that the new car will be slightly smaller than today's XF saloon, while still being big enough to accommodate five adults. There's no news yet on whether the car will be built around an aluminium platform despite recent reports that the replacement for the XF will almost certainly be made from aluminium, will grow in size and will move slightly further upmarket. This would seem to indicate that the second and third part of that rumor is accurate.
2nd Gear: The newly redesigned Volkswagen Jetta now ranks last among 11 small sedans tested by Consumer Reports. Engineers found fault with its agility, cornering grip, coarse engine, braking, interior fit and finish, and so-so fuel economy, with the pub saying "the redesigned Volkswagen Jetta is a shadow of the agile, well-finished car it once was." Ouch. That'll leave a mark. But, Consumer Reports has a silver lining for the Jetta — the SportWagen is still given a "Recommended" score. But that's because it's based on the previous generation of the vehicle. Double ouch. Even Automobile is asking Volkswagen to "stop" the insanity.
3rd Gear: Warning: Possible yawn-inducing news may continue! In the "small car" category, in addition to the "shadowy" new Jetta, Consumer Reports also tested the new Scion tC coupe, two versions of the new Chevrolet Cruze and the Hyundai Elantra. Consumer Reports said the redesigned Scion tC is "a well-equipped coupe that provides responsive handling as well as very good fuel economy and acceleration." The consumer-focused mag found the Cruze to be "light-years ahead of the crude Chevrolet Cobalt that it replaced" and moved it up from bottom of the pack to middle of the pack with a "Very Good" score. The newest generation Hyundai Elantra was also named a Top Pick in its category and currently ranks it the best small sedan tested by the publication, followed by the Nissan Sentra, Subaru Impreza and Toyota Corolla, in descending order.
4th Gear: An heiress to the Ford Motor Company throne is expected in court today on drunken driving charges, her attorney said. Elena Ford, 44, Henry Ford's great-great-granddaughter, was arrested late Sunday in Ferndale. She is accused of operating a vehicle while intoxicated and faces child endangerment charges because her son also was in the Ford Explorer she was driving. In 2009, Elena Ford became director of global marketing, sales and service at Ford Motor Co. — a newly created position and after Executive Chairman Bill Ford Jr., who served as CEO before hiring Alan Mulally in 2006 from Boeing, she is the most prominent member of the family at the automaker.
5th Gear: In more news that makes us hesitant to drive a rental car, the American Car Rental Association — an organization representing 94 rental companies — wants the government to adopt a new system that would designate some recalls as so serious that a vehicle should no longer be driven while others would allow cars to be driven and repaired later. "We can't determine the significance of a recall and whether a vehicle is no longer safe to operate or whether it can continue to operate and then should simply be brought in for service at some point in time," he said. "We simply want the manufacturers to instruct us when a vehicle needs to be grounded and we will absolutely comply." Hmm, I thought that was what the text of the recall did, but maybe that's just me.
6th Gear: Despite reports that it's "inevitable" Toyota will close down all of its North American plants later this month (an assertion repeated yet again this morning on NBC's "The Today Show"), the Japanese automaker has denied those claims, saying no such decision has been made. In an update yesterday afternoon, the Japanese automaker stated production interruptions at its 13 North American plants are "likely" but that it was "too early to predict" where the interruptions will take place and how long they will last.


No - but sometimes I do feel like someones watching me.
Nope. I've yet to get "feeling" that certain houses are haunted.
Me and my sister get that alot... it gets to me sometimes a bit too much so I ahve to put the TV on, my sister is the same too!
My cookie jar is haunted.
Mine isn't, although my bed is creaking occasionally .
Not the house I currently reside in, but at my mother's previous apartment, she had this weird thing that happened everyday for 8 years (and it's probably still going).
Around 5 or 6 in the afternoon everyday, a small pebble would be thrown at our door. For the first few months that it happened, we thought that it was a neighbor playing a prank, so we'd wait for it to happen, and jerk the door open really fast all while watching through our peephole. We never saw anything.
Sometimes the pebble would be there on the ground when we opened the door, sometimes not.
We eventually got used to it and came to accept the phenomenon.
My grandmother's house also has so very eerie happening that go on there, but that's a longer story.
My house isnt. However when i was little and stayed at my nans house, somthing never felt right, i could never go upstairs on my own. There was always a feeling of "someone" being there. I never heard any noises or saw anything. It was just the feeling of somthing being there. It wasnt just me that felt it, my brother and auntie on several occasions refused to go upstairs. It was just a unexplained feeling, you always felt as though someone was at the top of the stairs.
Years later my nan died and my grandad moved house. We then found out that someone was murdered in the house my nan had in the bathroom, which was at the top of the stairs.
I just can, not explain that feeling we all had there though, it was not the feeling where you feel there was someone there, then you see theres not and you forget it. This feeling was stronger, you KNEW somthing was there.
Sometimes when I'm lying in bed I hear scratching noises coming from the attic (which I hear through the ceiling) and my mind usually likes to scare me by thinking its a demon or something when I know its just a rodent or something. But I don't know if I feel it's haunted or not sometimes I do then I don't.
I'm not sure if my house's haunted (it's like a century old), but there's something definitely wrong. A couple of nights ago someone shouted me by radio or something, because it's voice was metalic... I thought it was someone's Motorola phone in the street, but the noise started chasing me.
PS: There's people who can believe in ghosts, but not in religion (because of the lack of scientific proofs)... That's interesting.
honestly yes and she likes to push things on my head mainly ps2 games (maybe she might want me to play them) and things fall when im home alone a shower head fell on to me before and it was wraped around something so it shouldnt have fallen!!!
No. I seem to be the only one who doesn't believe in hauntings.
I keep hearing footsteps and a girl voice saying "I'm sorry". I usually go insane and start killing my friends.
Of course it's not, there's no such thing as ghosts!
I do not think my home is haunted, I've had a few experiences, one at home, but what that was didn't justify haunting because it was related to my home.
...my sisters friend is staying with us and ever since she moved in weird things have been happening, and even when I look at her there is something there, something not right, why did her parents throw her out anyway?
Anyone else see what I do, that weird look in her eyes?
My house is indeed haunted by three cartoon bedsheet ghosts. One is the wisecracking leader figure, the second is a wimp and the third is the cynical one. They have fun adventures every day on 15:00, only on Notasgoodasitusedtobe Network!
I live in a 60 year old victorian, 3 stories. Every night there is this strange sound coming from my floorboard. Like Whistling. And then I hear a very faint sound that sounds like a steel nail on a chalkboard, and the whistling stops. Its very wierd...I've gotten over it.
My old place : Moving shadows, yet there was no one there. I hear footsteps from the upper room, yet no one's there. Ghostly enough?
O_O..... Yo. Who are you there?! LOL. Just don't..avenge your love.
I think I know this Hanyuu of which you speak of..
Alister now haunts me. You guys better run while you can. No wait, he already haunted me.
Anyway, The real deal with my haunted condo, is that I always hear doors open and close. CREEPS ME OUT.
Anyway, my parents told me that the previous house in which they lived had a small bathroom (more of a toilet with a shower actually, it was really small) and every morning around 6:00 they could clearly hear somebody whistling in there.
... still, I don't think it was haunted. :D I was pretty stressed at the time with job related issues and I also had some trouble with the extremely hot temperatures over there, so that probably explains it.
What's haunted is that you got a pervert in the neighborhood. lol.

Olly Moss Art Show @ Gallery 1988 from Threadless.com on Vimeo.
Whenever I see a new piece done by Olly Moss, I'm always like why didn't I think of that? The reason I didn't think of that is because Moss operates on another level, and his wit and the cleverness through his designs always astounds. Recently Moss had an art show put on at Gallery 1988 which he had been preparing 6 months for. The show itself featured pop culture icons rendered as paper-cut silhouettes.
Heavy on nostalgia, each paper-cut I see from photos of the event and the video above put a smile on my face. So many standouts that seem to have all been snapped up (and rightfully so) during the shows run, I would have loved to have got my hands on the Ratatouille one.
Jun 27 Hang on Woody!

Well, the good news is, my short story is done. The bad news is, I'm not sure if it's any good. I sent it to a few people and I'm awaiting feedback at the moment, so we'll see how it goes.
So here's the story of Bob. A few of weeks ago, my wife was up north at a place called Mirror Lake Inn with a couple of friends, enjoying a "Girl's Weekend" special they had going on. I'm not sure what that entails, but I know they eat and drink a lot and do things like go to the spa and have someone rub their backs with hot oiled stones, put cucumber paste on their faces and stick slices of ripe zucchini up their asses or something. I don't know what goes on there and I don't want to know. Anyway, I was looking for a weekend activity of my own, and it just so happened that my friend Pete's band The Badlees was opening up for Bob Seger at the Mohegan Sun arena that very same weekend, a mere 3.5 hours from here. I immediately called him, and said I was thinking of making the drive down. He told me they only had a 35 minute opening slot, but since it was a five hour drive from home for most of them, the guys in the band were going to get rooms at the hotel and hang out rather than running off stage and jumping in their cars while the last note was still ringing in the air as they usually do. So we called it a plan and it was good.
Or it was good until about 10 minutes later when he called me back and said that their manager gave back the rooms because he didn't think anyone was going to use them, and the rest of the band was just driving home immediately after the show. I think he probably would have driven right home too, but since I had committed to driving down for the show, it was either get a room somewhere or scrap the idea, because it probably didn't make good sense for me to drive seven hours to see 30 minutes of music. It was a golden opportunity to hang and we didn't want to waste it, so we decided that we'd find a place to stay that wouldn't break the bank, then watch Bob's show, maybe hit a casino or something, have some drinks, then crash. The free rooms they gave back went for about $350 a night, and they were right in the hotel attached to the casino and arena. The room I found was...not.
We figured our budget was about a hundred bucks if we split it and shared a room. So off to Hotel.com I went. I could find nothing that wasn't at least a 20 minute drive away from the casino. There's a lot of gamblers in Connecticut, I guess. I finally made a reservation at a Red Roof Inn that didn't get bad reviews for a 2 star hotel, and then after I paid for it, I looked them up on the bedbug registry (yes, it's a thing) and they had 3 entries for bedbugs, and two for scabies. I had to look up what that was. Believe me, I've stayed in some shitty hotels over the years seeing his band, but even though in the past I've found dirty underwear behind the bathroom door and used condoms under the bed, I never got fucking scabies.*
So I immediately jumped back on hotel.com, canceled my reservation with a shudder, and got my money back. Then I went to expedia.com to try my luck, and ended up with a hotel that got mostly horrible reviews because it was under construction while it was being renovated and turned from some no-name hotel into a Raddisson. I took a shot, hoping that the construction was done and that "renovation" meant the rooms were new.
The next morning I fed the hotel address into the GPS and started driving. My GPS is really old and really slow, (like me) so it gets confused if there's too much going on (like me). I got somewhere near Hartford and it said (in its pleasant, female British voice): "In 200 yards, take the exit right." and then 201 yards later, as I watched the exit go by, it proceeded to make Maxx Headroom-style stuttering announcements as it recalculated four times in the space of 30 seconds. When I finally got headed in the right direction again, I had added about 20 minutes to my ETA, which is the opposite of what a GPS is supposed to do for you. I think it's time to retire that $59 piece of crap. You'd think I would have shit-canned it after it was trying to get me to take a left through the guardrail on the Taconic Parkway at three in the morning, but no.
The hotel was actually pretty nice, but in the meantime it had inexplicably changed from a Raddisson to a Holiday Inn. I'm not sure what that was about, but all the construction was done. The only thing even remotely construction related that I saw was someone pulling network wire in the bar area. I checked in, did the standard bedbug check (yes, there is one, Google it), and then headed downstairs to get some lunch and wait for Pete to show up.
The bartender was a cute girl who moved with the speed of a garden slug, but I eventually got what I ordered. I think the issue was either that she was hoping I'd order more than one drink before I got my food, or she was just side-tracked by the giant TV showing the ESPN Strongest Man competition. All these ripped dudes in perfect shape were lifting weights against a clock and against each other, and while she was watching it and drooling, I was watching it and feeling really guilty about ordering hot wings and a Guinness. I thought about asking if I could change my order to a salad and a bucket of whey protein, or at least change the station, but I didn't.
An hour later, Pete silently rolled up in his brand new Prius, (Rock and Roll! \m/) I jumped in, and we headed north to the casino.
When The Badlees first got signed to Polygram in the late 90's, they did an extensive tour with Bob Seger. So I figured they were old pals. Even back then, we joked about Bob Seger and the Silver Anniversary Band, and here it is some 17 years later and old Bob is still rockin'. You have to hand it to the guy.
We arrived at the casino and drove around back, and the security guy in the guard house thought he was on a military installation because he had his list of IDs and pictures and he spent a few minutes comparing Pete's license to his list before he'd let us in. Eventually, after a radio call to someone, he was satisfied that we weren't terrorists and he let us continue on. We drove around underneath the casino for a bit, until we found the 18-wheelers that presumably carried all Bob's equipment. Let me tell you, Bob has a LOT of equipment. It's all union labor once you're past the gate, so they didn't want you unloading anything yourself. Pete backed his little Prius up to this massive loading dock door, and like six guys unloaded his monitor unit and mic stand. We got our laminates, then we parked his car and went to find the dressing room. The place is basically a maze and there are dressing rooms all over the place, so they put orange tape on the floor and then write on it with a sharpie telling you what's where. So we wandered around looking for the Badlees dressing room. We passed a wall of video recording equipment and I laughed when I saw the sign taped to the one of the video monitors. It said:
Please BE QUIET.
Bob is sleeping.
And yes, I laughed quietly. You wouldn't like Bob when he's angry. Plus his video guy looked like he just broke out of prison.
We kept walking and passed tape that said Catering, Video, Horn Section, "Lovely Ladies," (at least the whole thing was in quotes, and not just the word "Lovely") and finally, way down at the end, The Badlees.
I've been in the "band room" at lots of hole-in-the-wall clubs, but I've rarely been backstage at an arena. It was a little nicer than I expected, but also weird. The dressing area consisted of two rooms -- in the first room was a bunch of cubby holes* and a closet area with some permanent hangers, a couch and a fridge, then there was a second room with a shower, a toilet and a urinal. The "door" between the two consisted of a curtain like the one you'd normally see on a voting booth. I'm really glad I didn't have to drop one before the show because it would have been like going to a house party and taking a crap with the door open.
We dropped off our stuff and then it was time for setup and sound check. Sound checks are hard to do when Bob is Sleeping, but they managed. I had an "All Access" laminate, so I got to wander around just about anywhere, and basically pretend I was a roadie. I got the "'sup" head nod down pat, and after a while the security guys didn't even look twice at me.
After the sound check, we headed over to catering and got some food. While we were there, Bob came in and sat down at a table and I thought maybe I'd get to to meet him, but he seemed pretty focused and unapproachable. Pete nudged me and said, "There's Bob." and that was about the extent of the meet n' greet, for me at least.
The Badlees set was great, and it was good to see them in front of that many people on an arena stage. They have a new record due out soon, and from what I've heard, it should be pretty good. If you're not familiar with them or their sound, here's some samples from the Seger shows.
Bob's show was better than I expected it to be. He had a ton of people on stage from backup singers to a horn section to his sax player Alto Reed. Yes, I know. I'm pretty sure that's not the name on his birth certificate. That early afternoon nap he takes before the early-bird special must be in a slurry made from moisturizer and cocaine because holy shit, for a 68 year-old guy, he never stopped running (against the wind). Sorry, I couldn't resist. But seriously, he's still the same. The guy is like a rock. You can tell he's still got the fire inside. Dear God, this could go on forever. Seriously, when you think about the sheer number of hits this guy has had over the length of his career, it's pretty impressive. I was never what I'd consider a fan, but I knew the words to every freaking song he sang. I don't even know how that's possible. He totally owns all that old time rock and roll. (I just stabbed myself in the eye with a fork, so you don't have to.)
The only time he sat down all night was for Turn the Page. His voice still sounds pretty good. He's lost a little off the top, but he's allowed. He looked like a garden gnome who forgot his hat, but he can still make the women throw their control-top panties up on stage.
Pete and I got in trouble for standing back by the sound board because we were apparently blocking the view of some old biddy with floor seats, so we went up to the side where they had some reserved tickets for friends and family. After the show it was a little surreal to be funneling out with the rest of the crowd and have people do a double-take because they suddenly recognized Pete. You could tell they weren't paying much attention to the rest of the band though, because at least three people saw me walking with him and told me that I had done a great job. I just thanked them and told them they were a great audience while Pete laughed at me.
After everyone left, Pete had to go somewhere to get paid, and I got to wait in the dressing room. I waited and waited and waited….still no Pete. It took him about 2 hours to finally get cashed out, and I spent the entire time shooting the shit with a 70-year-old security guard, and eyeing the untouched platter of cold cuts in the fridge. He was a funny old guy though -- worked every concert for extra cash. He spent a lot of time telling me how he didn't like "them Rush fellas" though. They were too damn loud.
By the time we got back to the hotel bar and decided to have a drink, it was almost 3am. W were both pretty comatose and he had to get up early and get home because his wife had to work and they have a 1-year-old now. Man, times have changed. (Rock and Ro-zzzzzzzzz.) We ordered up a couple of Grey Goose dirty martinis anyway, but the waitress said they didn't have olives. Not that they were out of olives, but that they never had them, ever, at all. Very odd. They had all sorts of top-shelf liquor, but no olives. We ordered them anyway, but as expected, they sucked.
That's pretty much it. A good show, all in all, and really nothing went wrong so I count it in the win column. The only issue I had was with the GPS again on the way home -- somehow it kept looping me around on Main Street and at one point I had to stop at a crossing and wait for the downtown train to go by.
p.s. - if you're wondering about the title of this post, it's what the guitar player's girlfriend thought Bob was singing in the chorus to "Like a Rock" when she was a kid.
*spell check wanted to change that to "chubby holes" and now I can't imagine the blog spam I'm going to get.
*that I know of.

Popular local teacher proud to watch former typing student run for Congress
posted by Howard B. Owens in NY-26, kathy hochul, jim owen.
Popular local teacher Jim Owen, who has been turning students into fans for more than four decades, has an interest in the NY-26 special election race that's a bit different from a lot of other Genesee County residents.
One of his former students is on the ballot.
Back in the mid-1970s, Kathy Courtney took a typing class from Owen.
Eventually, she would marry Bill Hochul, become a member of the Hamburg Town Board, then clerk of Erie County and now, she's the Democratic nominee for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives.
"As a teacher, you have students in a classroom as juniors or seniors and you have no idea where they might go," Owen said. "Then when you read the paper that they've been very successfully -- obviously, I had nothing to do with it -- but it's nice to say, 'hey, I had her as a student.'"
Kathy Hochul isn't the only famous name that Owen can list as a typing student during his 35 years of teaching at Hamburg High School.
Pulitzer Prize winning cartoonist Tom Toles was also a student.
"I wish I'd gotten one of his cartoons back then," Owen said.
Owen, who also coached her brothers and cousins in track and field, remembers Hochul as a diligent student.
"Now, in typing, we don't communicate too much because you're supposed to be typing, and she was," said Owen. "She did her work."
Owen wasn't sure Kathy would even remember him.
On the campaign trail today, Hochul had time for a brief conversation and said Jim Owen is certainly "somebody stuck in my memory bank" as an important person in her young life.
"The students loved him," Hochul said. "He had a real way to take something as mundane as typing and make it real fun. He was very popular with all of the students."
A staunch Republican, Owen won't reveal who he's voting for, but admitted he can't help but root for Kathy.
"It's kind of neat to say, 'Here's a young lady I had in class and now she's running for Congress,'" Owen said. "I wish her a lot of luck. I hope things work out for her."
He added that he thinks "all three" candidates, especially the "two young ladies," would represent the community well, and he's expecting close results -- so close that a recount may be necessary.
Now a substitute teacher for Batavia City Schools, Owen doesn't know if he'll be required to work Tuesday. If he's off, he plans to attended the candidates' forum at 11 a.m. at the YWCA on North Street. If he makes it, it will be the first time teacher and student have seen each other in more than 20 years.

Findlay Masonic Bodies
Freemasonry is the oldest, largest and most widely recognized fraternal organization in the world. Founded in London, England in 1717, its current worldwide membership totals 3.6 million members, 1.6 million of which are in North America. With 120,000 Masons and 530 local Lodges, Ohio has one of the largest Masonic memberships of any state in the country.
The traditions of Freemasonry are founded upon the building of King Solomon's Temple, and its fraternal ceremonies use the working tools of the stonemasons to symbolize moral lessons and truths. For example, Masons are reminded at Lodge to "meet upon the level of equality, act by the plumb of uprightness, and part upon the square of virtue."
Like most organizations, one will get out of Freemasonry what he is able to put into it. However, membership in Freemasonry is not meant in any way to interfere with an individual's commitment to his faith, family, or occupation. Freemasonry is not and never can be a replacement for these important institutions, but rather it is a positive environment that reminds every Mason of his duty to God, his community, his family and himself.
Freemasonry provides opportunities for sincere, honest, forthright men who believe in God and desire to contribute to the improvement of their communities and themselves. Through our Masonic Fraternalism, we reaffirm our dedication and unity to become involved citizens who have a strong desire to preserve the values that have made and continue to make America great. We take good men and make them better.
What are Ceremonies
The experience of becoming a member of a Masonic Lodge is divided into three ceremonial stages that Masons call "degrees." These three degrees are loosely based upon the journeyman system, which was used to educate Medieval craftsmen. Symbolically the degrees represent the three stages of human development: youth, manhood, and age.
The first degree of Freemasonry is the Entered Apprentice degree. It is a candidate's first experience with the ceremonies of the fraternity and like all Masonic ceremonies is a solemn and meaningful event. Though new to Freemasonry, an Entered Apprentice enjoys the title of "Brother."
The Fellow Craft degree is the second ceremony and exposes a Brother to more of the symbolism and philosophy of the fraternity. For skilled craftsmen this degree would have marked one's progress from an apprentice to a journeyman.
The Master Mason degree is the last of the Lodge ceremonies and with it a candidate becomes a full member, enjoying both the rights and responsibilities of membership. Once a brother reaches the status of Master Mason is equal to all other Master Masons.
During all three ceremonies a candidate is treated with complete respect. At no time is he ever made to feel uncomfortable or harassed in anyway. Masonic ceremonies are a wonderful tradition shared by men such as George Washington, Harry S. Truman, Dave Thomas, and other men of integrity. These ceremonies are always conferred in such a way as to bring pride to the candidate and the members of the Lodge.
Qualifications for Membership
Application for membership is open to men who:
Have been an Ohio resident for at least six months
Have a belief in a Supreme Being
Live a good moral and social life
Do not advocate the overthrow of the government
Can read and write English
Are recommended by two members of the Lodge they wish to join. If you do not know two members of our Lodge that's okay too, we'd still love to meet you! Simply contact us by phone or email and express an interest in meeting with a Mason to learn more, or drop by the Lodge on the first Saturday of the month for our monthly breakfasts from 7-9.
The application fee is $125, and a Lodge's annual dues are only $30. The Masonic term for a membership application is a "petition." If you wish to join simply ask a Mason for a petition. The most important thing is that you ASK! A Mason cannot solicit new brothers, we can only provide men with Masonic information and let them come to us requesting membership if and when they are ready. The choice is yours.
What happens after joining?
Well, that completely depends on you. A masonic journey is one of individualism, but with the support of your masonic family. When you become a Master Mason you can join in on a great number of events involving Blue Lodge. Here you can attend our meetings twice a month (which always end in food and brotherly fellowship), attend degree work where you can to watch other candidates pass through the same journey you have, join the officer line, volunteer at many of our fundraising events, and view or play a part in many special meetings and events we host. As a nonprofit philanthropic organization, we are always raising funds to give back to the community and charitable organizations.
You can become as active as you want in Blue Lodge (or craft lodge, the name given to the type of lodge that all masons belong), and if you wish to continue your masonic journey there are many appendant bodies you can join after becoming a mason. Findlay has the honor of being a York Rite temple, meaning the 3 bodies of the York Rite meet at our facility. York Rite consists of Chapter of Royal Arch Masons, Council of Royal & Select Masters, and the Commandery of Knights Templar. Each body has 3-4 degrees that will take you far on your masonic journey and enrich your mind and heart. Findlay also has an active Shrine Club. The Shriners are known for their parades, circuses, and world renowned hospitals for children. Their philosophy is to have fun while helping children. Wish to learn more masonic history and observe more ritual work? Then the Scottish Rite might be the thing for you, with 29 degrees to enjoy. Of course, there are numerous other bodies you can join as well. Feel overwhelming? It often is, but no need to be dissuaded. Once you become a mason you'll have the rest of your life to learn about ways to be involved.

Cru Bourgeois judging to become every five years
Published: 03 October, 2017
The vice president of the Alliance des Cru Bourgeois du Médoc believes it is a positive and fair move to extend their examinations to once every five years.
Armelle Cruse told DI at the 2015 vintage tasting event in central London that the selection process of Cru Bourgeois needs to become clearer and more fair to both producers and consumers.
"If we judge every five years we are able to judge the winery rather than just the vintage," said Cruse.
"I think this is much more fair because some prestigious wine growers can fail at the first tasting because their wines haven't been given the chance to develop some of their flavours which younger, fruiter wines already have."
Cru Bourgeois du Médoc is one of five categorisations of wines from the Bordeaux region of France which gives an official approval of quality to a vintage bottle of wine.
There are 271 wines in the 2015 Cru Bourgeois selection, seven fewer than 2014, but Cruse does not want a smaller number of wines, rather a greater number of sub categories within the alliance.
Cruse added: "The target is not to push people away but to bring up the quality of wine. We represent 32m bottles which is a big amount, and the larger our representation the more power we have, so the target is not to go down.
"We represent the whole Médoc region and its eight appellations, and some wine producers want to show they are different from the others.
Cruse continued: "Cru Bourgeois can be confusing because it is a big category, so we want to get more organised and go back to 1932 when we had a basic Cru Bourgeois, Cru Bourgeois Superior and Cru Bourgeois Exceptional.
"This would make it easier for wineries to know what category they sit in."
Cruse believes that if the top end members of the Cru Bourgeois category do not find their place in the alliance, they will leave it. And if they leave then Cru Bourgeois will be seen as a more basic range of wines.
She also said that even if it becomes confusing for consumers in the US and UK for example, the image of Cru Bourgeois will be better if they add those categories.
"We have a lot of education do to, for sure. For us it will be about communication and being modern is difficult in Bordeaux because it is hard to ignore tradition.
"But I believe these categories could help the Cru Bourgeois family."

The ELD mandate was a 2012 law passed under former President Barack Obama. The provision was championed as a way to protect the safety of truckers and others on the road. The Trucker file photo.
ALBANY, N.Y. — There's always a straggler in the bunch. Unknown to many, New York state has not previously been enforcing the federal electronic logging device (ELD) mandate because it never adopted the ELD rule under its state laws and thus lacked the authority to enforce it.
According to the Trucking Association of New York (TANY), the New York State DOT has now issued an emergency rulemaking and begun enforcement of the ELD mandate.
TANY added in a news release that they have been told carriers not in compliance with the ELD mandate will be placed out-of-service as early as Thursday, January 17.
The ELD rule issued by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration went into effect in December 2017 and state governments were to have followed suit by incorporating the federal ELD rule into their state laws.
The Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association (OOIDA) has pursued lawsuits with certain states that have enforced the mandate while lacking a state-level law.
The ELD mandate has been unpopular among some truckers, who say it harms their schedules, take-home pay, and safety. Other truckers have said they like electronic logging once they get used to it.
When OOIDA sued New York, their complaint was dismissed — not because the New York court agreed with the state's actions to enforce the federal law, but because New York wasn't enforcing the law in the first place, according to Business Insider.
The snafu came to light in a State of New York Supreme Court ruling and opinion issued on December 31 by Judge Richard M. Platkin.
"Drivers are not being stopped, cited, or placed out-of-service pursuant to the ELD rule," Platkin wrote.
The other defendants in the case — New York's state police and the Department of Motor Vehicles — also stated that the ELD law hasn't been enforced.
The ELD mandate electronically enforces the Hours of Service (HOS) law, which has been in effect since the federal government began regulating trucking in the 1930s. The HOS law stipulates that truckers can drive no more than 11 hours in a 14-hour period, a provision that some truckers say doesn't reflect the nature of their work.
New York state said in the ruling that it does in fact enforce the HOS, but that the law is more challenging to enforce if ELDs are used.
The ELD mandate came into effect by means of a 2012 law passed under former President Barack Obama. The provision was championed as a way to protect the safety of truckers and others on the road. FMCSA estimated in 2014 that ELDs could prevent up to 1,714 crashes, 522 injuries, and 24 deaths each year.
But some truckers maintain ELDs are doing the opposite, while truck lobbying groups say it's really not ELDs drivers have a problem with, it's the unbendable nature of the HOS, which need more flexibility.
A TANY news release said despite New York State not enforcing the ELD mandate, it did enforce HOS and that FMCSA roadside inspections and on-site audits enforced the ELD mandate.
"Due to this, TANY continued to advise members to be in compliance with the ELD mandate regardless of the situation with New York enforcement," the association said.

Q: RestKit with local XML I used RestKit to load XML data from a resource. That worked perfect, but now I want to change my whole program to read local XML files. I found the possibility to read a local xml file and parse it through RestKit in the Google RestKit Group:
NSString *string = [NSString stringWithContentsOfFile:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"testing" ofType:@"xml"] encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding error:nil];
id<RKParser> parser = [[RKParserRegistry sharedRegistry] parserForMIMEType:RKMIMETypeXML];
id result = [parser objectFromString:string error:nil];
NSLog(@"%@",[[[[result objectForKey:@"sample"] objectForKey:@"nested"] objectForKey:@"tags" ] description]);

But now I want to load this object with my mapping. My old code with loading from a server:
RKObjectManager *objectManager = [RKObjectManager sharedManager];
RKURL *URL = [RKURL URLWithBaseURL:[objectManager baseURL] resourcePath:[xmlFile path] queryParameters:nil];

[objectManager.mappingProvider setMapping:myMapping forKeyPath:myKeyPath];

[objectManager loadObjectsAtResourcePath:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@", [URL resourcePath]] usingBlock:^(RKObjectLoader *loader) {
    loader.delegate = self;
}];

After that I get my mapped objects in the didLoadObjects delegate of RestKit. How can I do the same for my local xml object?

A: I found the following solution for the problem. Works like a charm.
RKObjectMappingProvider* mappingProvider = [RKObjectManager sharedManager].mappingProvider;
RKObjectMapper* mapper = [RKObjectMapper mapperWithObject:parsedData mappingProvider:mappingProvider];
RKObjectMappingResult* result = [mapper performMapping];
if (result) {

    NSArray *resultArray = result.asCollection;

    MyMappingClass *object = [resultArray lastObject];
    NSLog(@"My Object: %@", object);
}

A: For Restkit 0.20, I use this method:
library.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<library>
    <bookname>azeaze</bookname>
    <bookname>qdd</bookname>
    <bookname>vvef</bookname>
    <bookname>ytrtefc</bookname>
</library>

Book.h
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

@interface Book : NSObject

@property (nonatomic,strong) NSString * label;

@end

Book.m
#import "Book.h"

@implementation Book

@end

I create a NSDictionary with this XML file, for this I use XMLReader
#import "XMLReader.h"

[...]

RKObjectMapping *mapping = [RKObjectMapping mappingForClass:[Book class]];
[mapping addAttributeMappingsFromDictionary:@{@"bookname": @"label",}];

NSString *pathToDataFile = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"library"
                                                           ofType:@"xml"];

NSError *error;

NSString* contents = [NSString stringWithContentsOfFile:pathToDataFile
                                               encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding
                                                  error:&error];

NSData* xmlData = [contents dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];

NSError *parseError = nil;

NSDictionary *xmlDictionary = [XMLReader dictionaryForXMLData:xmlData
                                                        error:&parseError];

NSDictionary *mappingsDictionary = @{ @"library": mapping };

RKMapperOperation *mapper = [[RKMapperOperation alloc] initWithRepresentation:xmlDictionary
                                                           mappingsDictionary:mappingsDictionary];

NSError *mappingError = nil;

BOOL isMapped = [mapper execute:&mappingError];

if (isMapped && !mappingError) {
    NSLog(@"SUCCESS : %@",[mapper mappingResult]);

Below, affected ISO customers can learn more about changes to systems or procedures related to the Coordinated Transaction Scheduling (CTS) Project. This project was one of several that ISO New England has undertaken, in collaboration with stakeholders, for the continued development of the region's wholesale electricity markets.
In 2011, stakeholders for New England and New York supported an enhanced scheduling process to improve the efficiency of electricity trades between the two regions. The Coordinated Transaction Scheduling (CTS) project addressed those improvements with a design to modify the real-time external transaction submittal and scheduling process using an updated version of the New York ISO's Joint Energy Scheduling System (JESS), along with slight modifications to ISO-NE's Enhanced Energy Scheduling (ESS) application. Participants affected by this change included New England and New York participants engaging in external transactions at the Roseton Interface and consumers of external transactions data. Several training and sandbox sessions were held to prepare participants for the changes related to the project.
Affected market participants were required to take specific steps or adapt to changes in ISO systems, as described below.
Market Information Server (MIS) report changes went into effect. See more under Technical Documentation below.
The Joint Energy Scheduling System (JESS) sandbox hosted by NYISO was available for participant testing prior to project implementation.
The Enhanced Energy Scheduling application (ESS) sandbox was updated for changes related to the project and made available for participant testing prior to project implementation. The EES sandbox remains open indefintely.
The ISO conducted online training and information sessions for affected customers to learn about changes and ask questions in advance of project implementation. Please consider subscribing to ISO Training to receive notices posted to the ISO calendar for future projects.

In a small and simple RV life we strive to look for things that make our life less stressful and more flexible. Much of that has to do with trying to anticipate future needs, to plan more for where we want to be and less reacting to the current situation. Also, we try to find simple solutions to complicated problems. Karen and I have been living in an RV less than a year but it seems that the planning, like many nomads, has been going on for years. Lead time is important but sometimes experience is gained on short notice.
We had been house dwellers before. Neither one of us was enamored with the time and expense of maintaining a house. Then we became apartment dwellers. That was better, but tiny houses and a minimalist lifestyle we calling. We moved in the direction of RV living because we wanted to wander and that appeared to be the best way to get there.
I want to point out that none of these moves was a snap decision. All of them were the result of long discussions and research. No one should sell everything and hit the road on a whim. We were very good at negotiating and, looking back, things appear far more logical and deliberate then they appeared at the time. Most of the decisions went well.
After we got HaRVey, we became immersed in outfitting and modifying him for the life ahead. Shelves, bars, drawers, composting toilet, these were the bigges t concerns at the time in addition to deciding what stays and what goes. It's truly amazing that when you only have this tiny amount of storage, lots of things change their status to nonessential and we play lots of episodes of "Can we sell it?" I. Think from all the furniture and belongings that I inherited when my Dad passed 11 years ago.
After a couple of small outings to learn how the RV feels in use, we struck out on the road for six weeks and crossed the country twice, experimenting staying in a variety of parks and situations. Then it was back to Flagstaff because of work commitments and we settled for the time being into a local RV park, anticipating the next phase of our life as nomads. We reviewed what we had learned and decided things had gone well and we planned to go full nomad sooner then later.
So, we come to the beginning of fall, the weather starts to cool down and we're planning when to cut the cord and launch into full time boondocking. Karen and I have both lived in cold climates like New York and Michigan. We have lived in the Flagstaff area going on three years and we know it gets cold here in the winter. Frankly, so do RVs. Halloween was our go date. I had some questions on how you keep everything running during the upcoming winter so I asked around some of the RV shops what to do.
They seemed to be of the consensus that I had to get winterized with special antifreeze and such. Oh? Your going to live in it? Well then, you need a skirt to put around the bottom of the RV to keep the cold wind out. Also maybe some lights underneath to keep it warm enough so everything doesn't freeze. And a heated water hose so your water supply doesn't freeze.
This seemed to be getting more complicated as it went on. And the people seemed to be ignoring the fact that I had said boondocking, meaning power for the heated hose and the lights under the RV was a non starter. We have solar, not a generator and the fuel for that would be expensive, not to mention the cost the generator. Generally they said this wasn't going to work without an RV park and hookups.
In a small and simple life we look for solutions that move away from complexity. All this lights and skirts and heated hoses and blah blah blah was becoming messy and convoluted. We went back to restating the problem. How do. We keep the water in the. Lines and tanks from freezing during the coming winter? Drag a skirt for HaRVey everywhere we go while we frequently move? And all the other stuff. Tortuous, complicated, cumbersome. Not minimal or simple.
Circle back to the problem. Water in the pipes. Humm… do we need water in the pipes? A pump or a pipe freezing is expensive and problematic while a gallon container, not so much. Why does it seem that everyone assumes there must be water in the pipes and tanks?
So I opened the valves and emptied the fresh water syst em and made sure that the grey tank was responsibly dumped. Nothing has been in the system since October 31 and it all seems to be working out. No freezing problems because there's nothing there to freeze. We have become used to buying water by the gallon container and cleaning up with spray bottles. Ok, so we use correspondingly more paper towels.
So the solution to the problem turned out to be something no one offered. When we bought the RV I wondered wether a 30 gallon tank was big enough. Now we go two and a half to three weeks on that. I used to believe that indoor plumbing was the greatest invention mankind ever created. Now I'm not so sure. Going back to a relatively primitive solution has worked out for us. Or, why invent the wheel again? Just because its old school doesn't make it a bad idea.
Ok, I. Know someone is going to say "What about showers?" Join an athletic club. It's cheap. And a small and simple solution to a complex situation.

Below is the worksheet result
wordList: List[String] = List(I, want, to, learn, scala)
wordSizeList: List[Int] = List(1, 4, 2, 5, 5)
func: [A, B](a: List[A])List[B]

result: List[Int] = List(I, want, to, learn, scala, 1, 4, 2, 5, 5)

why doesn't it filter based on the Generic type "B"?
And if you see the result list, how can a Int type list can contain String as well?

A: Looks to me a type erasure problem, which can be remedied with a ClassTag:
import scala.reflect.ClassTag

def func[A, B : ClassTag](a: List[A]): List[B] = {
  a.collect{ case x: B => x }
}

val result = func[Any, Int](wordList ::: wordSizeList)
// result: List[Int] = List(1, 4, 2, 5, 5)
