Alberta woman accuses Play Alberta of playing games with her late stepdad's money

2:48 Calgary woman accuses Play Alberta of playing with her stepdad's money
A Calgary woman believes online gambling site Play Alberta played with her feelings for months before paying out her late stepdad's account. Tomasia DaSilva reports.
A Calgary woman is accusing Alberta's only regulated online gambling site of playing games with her late stepfather's money, before finally paying out his account.
Samantha Craig reached out to Global News after trying unsuccessfully for months to get Play Alberta to pay out Brian Winter's estate the money he had left in his account — $219.
"How they dealt with it was surprising to me," she said.
Craig started dealing with her stepdad's estate and the gambling site in August, a month after he passed away. Winter was a former Calgary Airport White Hat Volunteer and a retired business instructor at SAIT and Craig said he was a "financial guy" who had everything in order.
"Everything else went smoothly except the government agency Play Alberta.

"We've been through the process of selling his house and clearing probate to sell his house. We sold his vehicles and we've consolidated all of his bank accounts into an estate account. This was the last piece of the puzzle," she said.
But that puzzle continued to be unfinished until the middle of this month.
"There was no communication from them. I think I received one phone call in the five months I dealt with it — and it was to tell me once again that there was no update."

Global News reached out to Play Alberta. A spokesperson told us they cannot comment on specific situations or accounts, but they understand Craig's frustration.
"AGLC and Play Alberta make every effort to protect the accounts of its players. In order to release funds to a player's estate, certain legal documentation is required.

"While recognizing this is a difficult time for those involved, it remains important to ensure this process is in place in order to protect these accounts and the funds in them," the statement read.
Again, Craig said she supplied all of the necessary documents, several times, but it wasn't enough until she threatened a lawsuit or to go to the media with her story.
She also showed Global News emails from a manager at Play Alberta which stated her request had; "Regretfully been sitting with two departments for some months."

Craig has since received an apology and some money. However, Play Alberta did not credit Winter's estate the $219 — it only paid out $77 and change.
"The remaining funds were bonus plays that he had won and those were not redeemable," Craig said she was told.
Play Alberta has told us it has wagering requirements for different types of bonuses, and those wagering requirements have to be met to cash out any credits earned. If they were not met, the original deposit would remain in their account — something Craig said has to be changed, especially in the case of death.
"I think if he's won it fair and square then we should be able to cash it all out in the name of the estate."
In response, a spokesperson for Play Alberta told Global News on Wednesday it is working with a third-party vendor to improve the process of rectifying a deceased player's account, and that it is updating its terms and conditions "to establish clear rules in the event of a player's death and what's required for the estate to close out and deactivate the account."
The spokesperson also clarified that bonuses will be eligible for withdrawal if certain conditions are met, and that "those viewing the account will be able to differentiate between what's eligible for cash withdrawal and what's still remaining for bonuses."
As for the months-long fight for less than $100, the young mom said while it took a lot of time and work, she would do it again.
"Some people say, 'Oh $77, why would you chase them for $77?' But he was a financial guy and I know he wouldn't be very happy with me if I let the government keep $77. It's the principle of it."

Thai's elections vote count in, but no winner yet
Nearly a week after Thailand's election, the first since the coup of 2014, it remains unclear which party could form a government.
The country's Election Commission (EC) released the final vote count, showing the pro-military party had won the popular vote.
However, the count has been marred by concerns over voting irregularities and official results are due by 9 May.
Meanwhile, Sunday's election had been billed as a return to democracy for Thailand.
But the military was criticized for taking steps to ensure it would remain influential in politics, including appointing all 250 seats in the upper house or senate.
A complicated system of allocating seats in parliaments based on vote share, introduced by the military, means it remains unclear how many seats each party will ultimately have.
In previous Thai elections, the results came through more quickly and clearly.
This time the EC had problems tabulating results from the 350 constituencies. On Sunday there were some crazy figures from a few.
They also stopped the publishing statistics of the election results, after the numerous inconsistencies were recorded.
The voter turnout announced also seemed far too low at 65%.
The sole international monitoring entity, ANFREL, was also critical to the commission just before and during the elections.
This year's Thai elections was significant, for it is the country's bid to democracy since 2014, which the government was ruled by military juntas.

We should still remind ourselves that Arsenal FC remains one of the great clubs in English football and Arsene Wenger is second and then Sir Alex Ferguson one of many Premier League managers who've won the absolute most trophies with their English clubs.
The last two weeks have already been open season on Arsenal and Wenger in the wake of the Gunners' 4-0 thrashing at Liverpool – visitors was lucky to get non-e – with the media and ex-players putting the collective boot in to club and manager. Having lost two of its opening three games Arsenal has realistically kissed goodbye to any title aspirations, with some observers even predicting a mid-table finish.
Arsenal showed a profit in the summertime transfer window, bringing in only Antonio Lacazette (from Lyon for £46. 5 million) and Sead Kolašinac on a free from Schalke 04 which, given the improvement of its rivals, is tantamount to self-harming. If anyone at Emirates Stadium seriously believes the arrival of those two players would make Arsenal a Premier League force, they should email the tooth fairy.
There is absolutely no riot act to be read since it is not Arsenal's (i. e. Wenger's) style. Defeat could be acceptable if the team has given everything, but as the players walked from the Anfield pitch the laundry lady probably thought she had a straightforward week coming.
Arsenal fans have nearly given up on the Wenger Out protests because they understand that as he signed a two-year contract in summer time he will be there until 2019 unless he resigns. Kroenke's shares are very much in the black, the Bank manager is smiling – how can anyone be unhappy?
It is difficult to imagine what satisfaction Wenger gains from his job in the shadow of so much negativity, but a life without football is an empty world for the Frenchman he can't possibly contemplate.
Arsenal, which can be only ever a game from a crisis, plays 0-3 Bournemouth at home on Saturday. Wenger could not require better (or worse) opposition than a team that has lost by at least a two-goal margin in all three of its visits to Arsenal, though optimism is in short supply at Emirates now.
A guy pleaded not liable to assault recently despite the fact that he was caught on CCTV punching someone sitting next to him at a railway station. "I was yawning, " he told the court, stretching his arms out to illustrate his alleged real action. He was found guilty, but as excuses go, there is an air of unreal hilarity about any of it.
It was an identical situation with England's Dele Alli, who, after being tackled by Martin Skrtel of Slovakia and not being awarded a free of charge kick, gave a finger gesture. Since it was in direction of the referee most considered the official was the target, but no – it was to his former Tottenham teammate Kyle Walker, who was 10 meters behind the referee, who didn't see the incident.
"The gesture was a tale between me and my good friend Kyle Walker, " tweeted Dele. And the cow jumped over the moon. Why on the planet would Dele make a finger gesture to Walker after the referee had not given a free activate his favor?
Dele was obviously unaware that no matter who the gesture was made to, only when it was made. Law 12 states a player ought to be sent off if the gesture is known as offensive, insulting or abusive. He was lucky FIFA – up to now – has taken no action. The Football Association, almost certainly, and UEFA, probably, would have charged Dele retroactively.
At the World Cup, if the referee sees a finger gesture Dele is likely to be sent off. If nothing else, he and Walker should find another thing to joke about.

We'd like to share a look back at when we (the ICBOs), first presented our research results as a group panel in our annual meeting in San Diego on March 22, 2018. The meeting took place at the WorldBeat Center and included almost all the ICBOs (including our dear friend Pepe Marcos-Iga). It was our first presentation of our final results as an entire group.
Ever since, it's been an exciting and non-stop journey. Our collective perspectives have traveled throughout many conferences since then!
Here we share a few of our slides from our presentation on March 22, 2018.
We also received lots of feedback on the workbook for STEM-serving institutions. This great resource is now revised and it has been well received wherever we go. We're still requesting feedback on the workbook and revising the content.


My aspiration was to offer, without exception, the highest quality dishes. Who has tried Aroma understands that it does not make sense to ask for advice when choosing off the menu since it is a restaurant where the food is good and all the dishes are of the same quality.
Your choice depends on the catch of the day and your personal taste.
There are however, after 20 years experience, a few recipes which I consider signature dishes.
Red tuna tartare reminds of my love for Japanese cooking which comes from my wife Waka. This dish is characterized by its aromatic tone from typical Japanese spices used when preparing the red tuna.
The maltagliati are a fresh pasta that has black cabbage in the recipe. It was my invention which espresses my creativity and love of experimenting. The pasta is made with cabbage then flavored in the pan with pine nuts and octopus. The pasta is carefully cooked so it browns delicately in the pan.

Desserts are the first dishes I learned, having worked at the beginning at a bakery, and this dish even after many years still fills me with satisfaction when I make it The secret is how you prepare the airy Chantilly cream and the flakiness of the crust.


People over the age of 60 are the most vulnerable to heat waves, with 82% to 92% more deaths than average occurring in this age group. Risks for heat-related illness or injury — such as heat stroke, heat exhaustion and heat cramps — are also heightened in people with obesity, heart disease, diabetes and respiratory conditions as these decrease the body's ability to adapt to temperature changes. A review http://www.cmaj.ca/press/cmaj081050.pdf in CMAJ (Canadian Medical Association Journal) www.cmaj.ca describes the effect of heat on human physiology and factors that increase the risk of heat stress.
Physicians — and their patients ? must be aware of the risk factors for older people and people with chronic disease in excessive heat conditions and counsel and manage accordingly.
Laboratory-based physiologic studies show that the ability to detect heat is reduced, and the physiological response to heat with adequate blood distribution and sweating to cool the body is slower, in otherwise healthy older individuals compared to younger people. Their ability to respond to thirst is also delayed and they take longer to recover from dehydration.
People of lower socio-economic groups, lower levels of education and those who are socially isolated have a greater risk of mortality. Air conditioning is associated with a risk reduction of 80% and working fans with a 30% reduction. Housing may be a factor as lower income people often live in crowded or poor-quality housing, with inadequate ventilation and cooling systems. Homeless people are at risk because of lack of shelter from extreme heat and often also by underlying physical or psychiatric issues.
However, there are gaps in knowledge that can serve as further areas for research.

John Inglis Drever "Don" Pottinger (1919–1986) was a Scottish officer of arms, artist, illustrator and author. He is remembered for the publication, with Sir Iain Moncreiffe, of Simple Heraldry, Cheerfully Illustrated (1953).

Early life
Pottinger was born at Carnoustie, Angus in 1919. He was the second son of Reverend William Pottinger, and younger brother of William George Pottinger, known as George. He himself was known as Don from childhood because he was unable to pronounce his given name properly. He was educated at the High School of Dundee and received a scholarship to the Edinburgh College of Art in 1937.

His plans were interrupted by the outbreak of World War II in 1939. He served in the British Army throughout North Africa and Italy and ended his service in Palestine in 1946. During the war, he took time off to marry Fay Keeling.

After he was demobilized, Pottinger returned to his art studies in Edinburgh. In 1947 he won the Chalmer's Prize from the Royal Scottish Academy, and received his Diploma in Drawing and Painting in 1948. He completed an MA in Fine Arts in 1951 at the University of Edinburgh.

Heraldic career
Pottinger's training led to a career in portrait painting, and he painted many of the most prominent people in Scotland during the 1950s. In 1949, he was commissioned to paint the official portrait of Lord Lyon King of Arms, Sir Thomas Innes of Learney.

During the sittings for the portrait, Pottinger was delighted by his conversations with Learney about the art of heraldry. This led to an appointment as a part-time herald painter at the Court of Lord Lyon King of Arms. Another result of this commission was Pottinger's meeting Sir Iain Moncreiffe of that Ilk and collaborating with him on the book Simple Heraldry, Cheerfully Illustrated (1953). This book was a best-seller and was reprinted three times in its first year. No small part of the success were Pottinger's "cheerful" illustrations.

In 1953 he was appointed as Linlithgow Pursuivant of Arms Extraordinary, as Unicorn Pursuivant of Arms in Ordinary in 1961 and Islay Herald of Arms in Ordinary in 1981. Also in 1981, he was appointed Lyon Clerk and Keeper of the Records at Lyon Court. Throughout his heraldic career, he continued to paint portraits and other works for a variety of clients.

In 1985, he was made an Honorary Senior Fellow of Renison University College, in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, for his contributions to heraldry.

Pottinger remained Islay and Lyon Clerk until his death in 1986.

Personal life
Don and Fay Pottinger lived in the New Town, Edinburgh. He was a member of the New Club.

I don't often talk about the means I use to earn my living, except to occasionally note that I toil by day for one of the larger application lifecycle tools vendors. I speak of it now because that is about to change. I am in the midst of a job change, the first in half a dozen years and arguably the first that doesn't involve a significant change of careers altogether. I'll tell more about it when it's completed, but I wanted to explore a somewhat different spin on the job search process, that is, age discrimination.
I'm at that difficult age—somewhere between 40 and death—that gives one pause in light of all that has been written about the inability of older workers to obtain jobs for which they are highly qualified, usually losing out to younger and less qualified individuals who appear more energetic and enthusiastic. And it seems as you get older, the decision to move on is an increasingly difficult one. I'll admit that the pull of the current job became stronger as I spent more time in that role, even though it lacks the prospect of further professional growth that I know I'm capable of.
So I gingerly sought new opportunities. It was with some regret, as in my years with my current employer I had developed many personal relationships that were both fulfilling and functional. I was well paid, and the local office was only a few miles from my home, in the opposite direction from most rush-hour traffic. Jobs were certainly less available than the last time I went looking, but I thought I had an appreciation of both my strengths and the available market, and was ready to consider alternatives.
I was painfully cognizant that what I had gained in experience I had traded away in age. Would I have to take the inevitable pay cut for this new job? I didn't need the money, but it would be an indication that I had pretty much topped out at my career. Or would it be increasingly difficult to get from interview to offer. I always had trouble getting the interview, but once I did I could usually land the offer, usually by showing uncommon knowledge and enthusiasm. Would that still work, even as my hair added still more gray to its hue?
I don't have an answer to that one, but I'd like to relay an experience of my own, along with my conclusions surrounding that experience. At one point in my process, I interviewed at a large software company for a role for which I was uniquely qualified. I could have written the job description for myself, and I doubt there were more than a handful of people in the area as qualified as I was for this job.
The job was similar to what I did before I was promoted into my current position. I was forewarned that they couldn't match my current salary, but the pull of an opportunity for new and different experiences, yet building on things I enjoyed doing, was too high. The company was large (over half a billion dollars in yearly sales) and headquartered locally, and offered plenty of opportunity for professional growth.
So I interviewed. The hiring manager was about 12 years my junior, and looked younger still. The interview, which took place out on the cafeteria patio on a beautiful day, was cordial enough. However, I never felt as though I connected with the manager, even though I explained that I had performed a similar role several years earlier and understood his company and products well. When asked why I was looking to make a change, I emphasized a truthful desire for continued career advancement. Still, I didn't feel that I had impressed him sufficiently, and the interview and the opportunity ended.
I was supremely qualified, yet significantly older than the hiring manager. Clearly this was an act of age discrimination, right? Well, I don't think that was the case. Instead, the lesson I got from this experience is that older job seekers must send different messages from the ones they sent 15 years ago. Part of that is that a younger hiring manager needs to hear different things from an older applicant. In effect, I told him that I had already done everything that his job entails, and that I wanted it as a stepping stone to a more challenging position. Wrong!
I gave him no assurance that I wanted his job, or would grow well within it. The second mistake I made was to assure him that I fully understood the company business and products.You might think that it would be great for a prospective hire to step in and immediately understand your business and products. But I had preconceived notions, based on my experience with a product line the company had acquired several years earlier, and had noted my abortive effort to try to form a company to compete in a market hole left by that acquisition. That was probably an error too, as I told him I was prepared to compete against his company at one time. Rather than interpreting that as outstanding knowledge of the product line, he likely thought that I might well try to compete again in the future, given the opportunity. This is New England, after all, and the practice of shifting loyalties is not viewed favorably here.
I learned a lesson that day, and I didn't have to wait for the rejection to arrive in the mail to know that this wasn't going to happen. The lesson was that while my experience was important, my presentation was more important still. But it wasn't the same presentation I would have given 15 years ago. Specifically, I would have highlighted my experience, downplayed my knowledge of his company and the products, and stressed that I still had a lot to learn about the business of this company.
Knowing what I know now, could I have gotten this job? I think so. Would it have been a good move on my part? Probably not. Whatever his reasons, I think the young hiring manager made the correct decision. The job was a role I had outgrown, and I would likely have taken it with my sights set on rapid promotion, rather than fulfilling current responsibilities. My age figured into the equation, probably indirectly. But was it discrimination? No, it was my own failure to adapt to changing expectations.

Q: Argue that $\binom{n}{n_1,n_2,...,n_r} = \binom{n-1}{n_1-1,n_2,...,n_r} + \binom{n-1}{n_1,n_2-1,...,n_r}+...+\binom{n-1}{n_1,n_2,...,n_r-1} $ Argue that
$\binom{n}{n_1,n_2,...,n_r} = \binom{n-1}{n_1-1,n_2,...,n_r} + \binom{n-1}{n_1,n_2-1,...,n_r}+...+\binom{n-1}{n_1,n_2,...,n_r-1} $
Each term on the right hand side is the number of ways of dividing $n-1$ distinct objects into $r$ distinct groups. I cant really make a start on this.
I have thought about it in terms of apples to try and get a grasp of the problem, if i were to have 10 apples labeled 1- 10 and 3 groups of size 2,3,5. Then the math works out.
If I have $n$ apples labeled $1$ through $n$, if I choose the first(labelled 1) apple and fix it to the 1st group then divide the remaining $n-1$ apples into the $r$ groups, there are $\binom{n-1}{n_1-1,n_2,...,n_r}$ ways to do this. If I repeat this process with apple 2 and place the apple in group 2 instead, we obtain $\binom{n-1}{n_1,n_2-1,...,n_r}$ continuing in this fashion when we fix the $r$th apple to the $r$th group and count the number of ways of distributing the remaining $n-1$ apples to the $r$ groups we get $\binom{n-1}{n_1,n_2,...,n_r-1}$. Summing the terms on the right will then give us the number of ways of dividing the $n$ distinct apples into $r$ distinct groups.

A: Your argument using apples is very close, maybe only a bit awkwardly written.
We give a combinatorical argument of equality, showing the the rhs and lhs count the same thing.
Now, the lhs is easy: it counts the number of ways to partition $n$ apples into $r$ groups with sizes $n_1, n_2, \ldots, n_r$.
We want to show that the rhs counts this as well. Let's pick a fixed apple.
The essesce of the proof is noting that:
(the number of ways to partition apples into $r$ groups of specified sizes)
 =
(the number of ways we can partition apples into $r$ groups of specified sizes if the fixed apple is in the first group)
 +
(the number of ways we can partition apples into $r$ groups of specified sizes if the fixed apple is in the second group)
 +
...
 +
(the number of ways we can partition apples into $r$ groups of specified sizes if the fixed apple is in the last group)
This options are disjoint, so we can freely sum the number of cases in each option. Now, lets count the number of ways in each of the options.
If we put it in the first group, then to get partitions into $r$ groups with sizes $n_1, n_2, \ldots, n_r$, we need to arrange remaining $n-1$ apples into groups of sizes $n_1-1$, $n_2$, ..., $n_r$, as we already have one apple in the first group. We can do this in $\binom{n-1}{n_1-1, n_2, \ldots, n_r}$ many ways. Similary, we can put our apple in second group, which yields $\binom{n-1}{n_1, n_2-1, \ldots, n_r}$ ways, and so forth until the $r$-th group.
Rewriting equation in text above into numbers, we get the desired equality.
PS:
The case by case distinction intuitivnely reminds me of the law of total probabilities, it it helps you to think about it that way.

Genre: Strategy
Cost: 800 Microsoft Points
Metacritic Rating:78
Like Viva Pinata before it, A Kingdom for Keflings appears -- at least on the surface -- as a stripped down, simplistic strategy game. But what developer NinjaBee actually delivers is a charming, endlessly-addicting title that takes an original approach to the city-building subgenre of games. You can drop your Xbox Live Avatars into the game's medieval world, build a sprawling city for them, and then battle for precious resources either alone or with up to three friends over Xbox Live. While the game suffers from a few performance issues, A Kingdom of Keflings is a welcome and serene escape from real life that's recommended for fans of SimCity and Black & White.
Genre: Shooter
Cost: 1200 Microsoft Points
EA's Battlefield 1943 is a downloadable, online-only FPS, but it's just as polished as a lot of shooters on store shelves. Developed by DICE, Battlefield 1943 mixes online multiplayer mayhem with vehicles and destructible environments afforded by the Frostbite Engine which powers retail heavy-hitter Battlefield: Bad Company. You can engage is some truly massive skirmishes in Battlefield 1943 -- we're talking blisteringly-intense 24-player online matches. And if running around on foot isn't your thing, you can also control jeeps, tanks, or just call in air support to rain fire down on your enemies from the sky. A testament to Battlefield 1943's success is the recent announcement that the game is the fastest-selling XBLA game to reach one million sales.
Genre: Puzzle/Platformer
Winning the 'Innovation in Game Design' award at the 2006 Independent Games Festival, Braid is one of the most celebrated games on Xbox Live Arcade. Simply put: Braid stands out as a beautifully drawn, original puzzle-adventure that follows the story of Tim who must attempt to rescue a princess from an evil monster. Each of the game's time-controlling levels must be completed in a very specific fashion -- which can drive you a bit crazy -- but this indie-darling is worth the price of admission. Gorgeous landscapes and a somewhat harrowing conclusion are not only part of its charm, but major aspects of the game's success.
Castle Crashers
Even though Castle Crashers had some issues initially, which included delays and spotty online play at launch, it's still one of the best co-op video games available on Xbox Live Arcade. A fast-paced, beat-em-up with fantastic art direction, hilarious characters and settings, The Behemoth's Castle Crashers is one of the most played titles on Xbox Live for good reasons. It's also a surprisingly long experience for a downloadable title, making the 1200 Microsoft Point price much easier to digest.
While some might argue that Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is little more than a slightly made-over version of a 13-year-old title, it truly is one of the most satisfying action games available on Xbox Live Arcade. Awakened from a self-induced sleep, Alucard, the half-vampire son of Dracula sets off to investigate the entity of chaos that is The Castlevania. Filled with hours of adventure, multiple endings, and a moody musical score, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is a steal at this price. It's not only an incredible journey throughout, Castlevania: SoTN influenced countless other titles -- including Shadow Complex -- and is hands-down one of the finest entries in the Castlevania series.
Metacritic Rating: [[xref:http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/xbox360/settlersofcatan?q=catan 81 81]
Who knew that a classic German board game could look so good and offer as much fun as Catan does on the Xbox 360? While Catan can be incredibly fun, it can also get quite challenging. Big Huge Games founder Brian Reynolds has said that 'you can teach someone to play [Catan] in minutes and then spend years trying to master it.' In Catan, you select a historic leader and then do your best to strategically outwit the competition for resources and land ownership. You can play it against the finely tuned computer A.I. or go online. It won't offer you the same high level of action as other strategy games, but Catan is still highly recommended for strategy game fans.
Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2
Genre: Multi-directional Shooter
Widely believed to be the franchise that kick-started the popularity of Xbox Live Arcade, Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2 takes a near-perfect formula and somehow improves it. At its core, Geometry Wars 2 is the simplest of games: Survive intense waves of attacking enemies--that's it. The Xbox Live Arcade platform has a seemingly endless supply of dual-joystick shooters under its belt, and even if you're tired of the genre, Geometry Wars 2 does a fantastic job of making the genre feel fresh again. Besides reigniting our passion of leaderboard superiority that followed up throughout real-world arcades, Geometry Wars 2 offers some of the most fun to be had on XBLA for $10. You can also pick up the original Geometry Wars on XBLA for half that price.
Rather than remake this classic side-scrolling shooter for the HD age, Sega thankfully released Gunstar Heroes as fans remembered it. Other shooters sometimes try to emulate its non-stop, frantic action, but Gunstar Heroes still maintains a place in our heart. And, for those on a tight budget, it's a cheap addition to your Xbox Live Arcade library, running you the equivalent of a mere $5. Just make sure to pad your controller because you might end up throwing it on more than one occasion; completing Gunstar Heroes is no piece of cake.
Perhaps one of the most intense Dreamcast games ever made, Ikaruga has found its way on many platforms including GameCube, arcades, and Xbox Live Arcade. Ikaruga defines the phrase 'Bullet Hell,' and while it's viciously difficult, it also offers a ton of replay value. It might sound silly to hear that a game with only five levels deserves your hard earned Microsoft Space Bucks, but you'll actually end up spending a lot of time replaying those levels over and over again in order to survive. And when you do, the hell you just went through makes Ikaruga's completion that much more satisfying.
Marvel vs. Capcom 2
Genre: Fighting
While original versions of Marvel vs. Capcom 2 encouraged players to unlock a host of new characters, the Xbox Live Arcade version's focus is on competitive play. All 70+ characters are available right away, giving online fighting fans a slew of choices to mix and match fighters in order to create their own team up. While we're still fans of the original Marvel vs. Capcom 2, this new version affords players the possibility to play a game that is no longer readily available, unless you're willing to pay an arm and a leg for a Dreamcast, PS2 or Xbox version of it. It may not scratch that progression reward itch, but it's one of the fastest and most fun fighting experiences available today.
The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom
P.B. Winterbottom is a stocky man with a penchant for delicious baked goods. After chasing a pastry through his town, Winterbottom accidentally jumps through space and time, replicating himself ad infinitum. Unabashed by his misfortune, the top-hat sporting gentleman -- along with his seemingly never-ending stream of clones -- set off on an adventure to collect all the stray pies in the land to whet his insatiable appetite. P.B. Winterbottom is a stylish, black and white game inspired by silent films and developed by a team befitting of their moniker, The Odd Gentlemen. It's also one of the most charming, challenging and quirky puzzle games available on Xbox Live Arcade.
N+
It might sound like a difficult proposition to ask gamers to pay for a game that originated as a free-to-play Flash title, but N+ pulls it off. The concept of the physics-based platform/puzzler is simple: Make it to the exit of each level. But the game is hardly simplistic. Pixel-sized enemies haunt you at every corner waiting to decimate your stick-figure character and drive you insane with frustration. Multiplayer in N+ also allows two players to work together to make it through obstacles, which is definitely a rewarding experience.
Peggle
Genre: Puzzle
Some have compared Peggle addiction to that of substance abuse. Of course, real substance abuse is no laughing matter, but Peggle does have the ability to melt away hours, leaving relationships ruined in its wake. Inspired by the Japanese game pachinko, Peggle is a casual game that has burst through the classification and latched onto every group of gamers. There's something to be said for a title that can draw in hardcore gamers and grandmothers alike, but Peggle does just that. The XBLA version also includes various multiplayer modes where those aforementioned hardcore gamers and grandmothers can throw down in epic online battles.
Portal: Still Alive
Genre: First-person Puzzle
If you don't have Half-Life: The Orange Box in your collection, you can download Portal: Still Alive on Xbox Live Arcade for a few dollars less than the cost of the full Half-Life compilation. Still Alive comes with the original mind-bending first-person puzzle game with a heaping serving of additional content: fourteen new challenges that were based on Portal: The Flash Version. With the recent announcement of Portal 2 coming later this year, now's a good time to prepare for the sequel.
Rez HD
Originally released on PlayStation 2 and Dreamcast, Rez HD is an Xbox Live Arcade-exclusive remastered version of the popular on-rails shooter. When it first hit stores in Japan, Rez was released with one of the most bizarre peripherals we've seen: The 'trance vibrator.' Thankfully (or maybe not?) Q Entertainment's XBLA version ditches the extra and delivers what shooter fans really want: a gorgeous remake of its addicting shooter. Rez still holds up today with its distinct visuals and pulsating electronic music that the player manipulates by playing the game and destroying enemies.
Sam & Max Save the World
Hilarious, challenging and a great value: Sam & Max Save the World offers Xbox 360 owners the complete first season of the Telltale-developed series in one package. The game features six episodes that follow the adventures of two private investigators who also happen to be a pair of anthropomorphic animals: Sam is a canine who wears a suit and fedora and Max is an unidentifiable relative of the rabbit family who wears absolutely nothing. The 1600 Microsoft Point price tag might seem steep, but the bundle includes hours of content, and once you complete this series, season two is also available for purchase on Xbox Live Arcade. Give Sam & Max Save the World a shot and you'll likely understand why the series has received such high praise from critics, and why Telltale is considered one of the masters of the adventure genre.
Borrowing elements from some of gaming's most beloved side-scrolling action franchises including Contra, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night and Super Metroid, Epic's Shadow Complex is one of the finest Xbox Live Arcade-exclusive titles available today. The game is presented in '2.5 D,' where you move around in two-dimensional levels with highly-detailed 3D backgrounds and enemies. Shadow Complex's critical and commercial success can be attributed to the creative minds involved in the XBLA project, which include Gears of War creator Cliff Bleszinski as design consultant, comic book writer Peter David as scriptwriter, and award-winning science fiction author Orson Scott Card who licensed his Empire series for the game's universe and plot.
'Splosion Man
In Twisted Pixel's quirky Xbox Live Arcade-exclusive hit, you play as a lab experiment gone horribly wrong, whose molecular body is made up of explosions. In order to solve puzzles, avoid scientists, and trigger events in the game you must make yourself explode (or 'splode'). 'Splosion Man's premise is absurd, but it's a video game that you really need to play for yourself to fully appreciate its simple, but highly effective style and charm. The game also gives you a lot bang for your buck as it packs on a whopping 50 levels to play through and four-player co-op support.
Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix
Ridiculously long name aside, Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix is a return to form for Capcom's famed fighting series. Before bringing the franchise back to its roots with Street Fighter IV, SSFIITHDR takes the best elements of the timeless Street Fighter II series and remixes it with fresh music and a gorgeous HD look. Apart from dealing with a slew of 'rage-quitters,' Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix is a fantastic online title that to this day still has a loyal following.
The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition
If you never got the chance to play LucasArts' The Secret of Monkey Island when it was originally released in 1990 -- back when the developer was known as LucasFilm Games -- you can now experience the classic adventure on Xbox Live Arcade. Following the story of wannabe pirate Guybrush Threepwood, the XBLA version of the original Monkey Island game features all-new HD visuals, which give the game a modern look without spoiling the charm and humor of the original. And for fans who prefer the look of the classic game, they can swap the updated graphics out for the original game with the simple press of a button.
Genre: Action/Strategy
Signal Studios' recently released Toy Soldiers puts you in command of an army of miniaturized, World War I era toy soldiers as you declare war on the enemy. Despite the fact that the game's model battlefields are located inside a child's bedroom, the game actually has a gritty, realistic vibe complete with smoke effects and exploding soldiers. One of the highlights aside from Toy Soldier's great graphics is the wealth of unit types you have at your disposal in addition to basic infantry, which include tanks, snipers, airplanes, mortars and even zeppelins. With a robust campaign offering more than twenty missions and multiplayer support, Xbox 360 owners should absolutely give Toy Soldiers a try.
Trials HD
Genre: Racing/Puzzle
Trials HD is a game that can get so punishingly difficult at times that you may feel tempted to just give up; but that's also what makes it such a rush to play. Trials HD blends elements of racing, puzzle-solving, and Evel Knievel-esque action in an experience where every split-second decision you make counts. As a motorcyclist, you must race through tracks, pulling off stunts such as launching your bike off giant ramps and into burning rings. The real trick of this modern take on ExciteBike is avoiding wrecking both you and your vehicle on deadly obstacles that often come out of nowhere. The game's physics-based engine -- which determines how your motorcycle moves and reacts to the terrain at high speed -- is really what makes Trials HD such a thrilling experience.
Genre: Card Game
It's hard to believe that a forty-year-old card game of all things would gain the tremendous popularity that Uno has on Microsoft's Xbox 360. A big part of why Uno works so well on the Xbox 360 is the fact that the developer didn't try to reinvent the card game into something it's not. In Uno, players must match either the color or number of the top exposed card in the pile, with the ultimate goal of getting rid of all the cards in their possession. If you're lucky enough to have one in your hand, you can also plop down a Wild Card Draw Four, which will allow you to change the card pile to any color you desire as well as force the next player to draw four more cards. For those who enjoy the classic Uno card game, they shouldn't think twice about checking out this flawless translation available on XBLA.

Penalties for non-compliance with the Affordable Care Act become effective in less than a year. Government contractors who are subject to the provisions of the law (those with 50 or more FTEs) should take action now to get into compliance.
First and foremost: If you're not offering health insurance to your workers now, get covered.
• The longer you wait to find and implement coverage, the more difficult – and expensive – it's likely to be.
• It takes time for a carrier to underwrite and rate a group. Take action now and prevent the possibility of missing the deadline.
• While changing more employees to part-time status may seem like a way to save money and hassle, is it really? This is likely to result in a less-skilled workforce, which will only cost you in the long run. Part-time employees may also be more likely to be less committed to doing excellent work, and may not be as loyal to your company.
• While you may have fewer than 50 FTEs now, what happens when you win your next contract? Will you even be able to win a contract that would require you to hire more workers if you can't show proof of compliance with the law?
•If you're not currently using the fringe portion of the prevailing wage to provide health insurance and other bona fide benefits for your workers, you're already passing up significant savings on your payroll burden. That eats into your profits and makes your bids less competitive. Paying fines for failing to comply with the law erodes your profit even further.

Singh is not the king!
DLF has gone down on regulatory issues but we have been warning about the stock right from 2007.
Even when it was trading at Rs 750 we issued a sell and here is the proof for the same.
Even during DLF's successful IPO days back in 2007 we strongly recommended it to sell and those who followed our recommendation would be happily laughing all the way to their banks.
In fact, novice investors do not understand what is wrong with the stock. They seldom give attention to the quality of the management as they fix their eyes only on price aspects of a stock. If a stock comes down from Rs 200 to 130 then they think it is a good opportunity to buy that stock. In the face to face meetings I always get queries on several 'untouchable stocks'. In our last meeting I was threatened to give a buy call on JSPL, Suzlon, Unitech and Jaypee as they had corrected heavily from the recent highs. When I did not heed to their request, some members walked out in the middle of the presentation. I always ask them to read the financials which the novice investors neglect to do. At least now they have the opportunity to learn the right lesson from the DLF and stop fighting with me when I strongly give a sell call on tainted companies.
Back in 2008, we repeatedly said 'Singh is not a king' which was well accepted by the market but not by the novice investors. Some analysts are misinforming the investors that DLF has gone down owing to the change in political climate in the centre. But even in the year 2009 when Congress was in power DLF traced Rs 130 and now it is ready to break open the psychological mark of Rs 100. I will not be surprised if the price of DLF comes down below Rs 90 or even Rs 50. Let us wait for that happy moments.
Coming back to the markets, we have exited the Bank Nifty on Tuesday as the market was struggling to move up. We would concentrate on Bank Nifty once the market stabilizes at lower level. The global issues are having impact on the Nifty but we expect the market to digest the negatives shortly.

After more than a year of construction and relative quiet, the Lansdowne Street music scene is about to be reborn
By JIM SULLIVAN | February 6, 2009
NEW BLUES: The 53,000-square-foot House of Blues complex — taking over the space on Lansdowne Street formerly occupied by Avalon, Axis, the Embassy, and the Modern — will include a rock club and two restaurants.
The making of a house party. By Jim Sullivan.
I put on the obligatory hard hat and walk through the doors of what used to be Avalon on Lansdowne Street, across from Fenway Park. To the layman — me — it's all dust, noise, metal, and mess. The sounds of drills and hammers, clutter everywhere, workmen bustling every which way, a skeleton of a large stage jutting out onto a cluttered dance-floor-to-come. The facility — soon to be America's 13th House of Blues — is positioned to again make Kenmore Square a magnet of Boston's concert scene. As I take the tour, it is about a month away from its opening. That will happen February 19 with a show featuring the reunited-for-a-night J. Geils Band.
Joseph Perra, the man in charge of interior construction, has been on site three months. I ask his take, and he looks about. "We're fine," he says. "I've seen worse." No one, in fact, is worried about on-time completion. Asked about the project, Julie Jordan, the incoming general manager, says they're 75 percent done, with all the plumbing and electrical wiring in place.
This strip along Lansdowne Street — dormant since Patrick Lyons and his Lyons Group shuttered Avalon, Axis, the Embassy, and the Modern in September 2007 — is ready to again become a hub of nightlife activity. The House of Blues will be a 2400-plus-capacity rock-concert club, the bulk of it open space on the floor and mezzanine, with stadium-style seats at the rear of the room on the mezzanine and third levels. The layout is not unlike a more spacious Avalon. The whole complex is 53,000 square feet, up from the former complex's 41,000.
At the time Lyons shut down his clubs, he issued a proud, Terminator-esque call: we'll be back. His intention was to tear down, rebuild, and revamp the facility as a multi-use site for music and dining. Then, this past year, he got an offer from the House of Blues: we would like to lease your property and build our own music-and-restaurant complex. Lyons thought, "Why not?" He served as a consultant. Says Lyons's friend and HoB co-founder Dan Aykroyd, "He wasn't going to give away years of legacy" without having an impact on what was to follow. (Says Aykroyd of his own relationship with the chain: "I sold my shares at acquisition, but I have a rights and royalties structure and I'm a founding consultant.")
"It's true," says Lyons. "Our role was, we designed the bones, the structure of it, and they are doing the interior, the House of Blues magic." Lyons says he can't help but think, "Having had a run there so long, you have some separation anxiety: can these people do it with the care and love we tried to [give] for so many years?" He's confident they can, and believes the House of Blues will anchor what will be a prime destination location. Lyons says that, in the past three years, $44 million has been poured into the street's entertainment facilities (excluding Fenway Park). This spring, he's turning Jake Ivory's into The Lansdowne, an Irish pub. The Cask 'n Flagon has been upgraded. Lyons says he's happy now to play the role of "supporting actor. I'll peddle as fast as I can to help the House of Blues. It's enlightened self-interest — we have a lot of investment on the street that's not them."
Clubland goes zen
The House of Blues VIP opening is February 21. Aykroyd and fellow Blues Brother Jim Belushi and their band headline (as they traditionally do for all House of Blues openings), Sam Moore (of Sam & Dave). That night will begin with a tribute to Jimi Hendrix, by a band assembled by billionaire Paul Allen, the Microsoft co-founder and philanthropist who founded the Hendrix museum in Seattle. Then comes a set by Ronnie Earl and the Broadcasters and, finally, the Blues Brothers.
There will be two eateries: the open-to-the-general-public, 11 am–midnight House of Blues Restaurant downstairs and the exclusive Foundation Room lounge and three dining areas upstairs. There, members — they hope to eventually get 1200 — will pay between $1250 and $2250 a year to join.(A three-person corporate membership goes for $8500.) These are the equivalent to stadium sky boxes, and it's an open question whether they will be supported in this financial storm.
The Boston facility was, of course, planned before the economy went bust, and it will open in the midst of a massive recession. Worries? "Music seems to be recession-proof," says director of marketing Dave Fortin. "People comfort themselves with it in bad times and reward themselves with it in good times."

With The Versailles Sessions you moved from working with samples of modern classical works to collaborating and writing for the actual musicians. Tell us about that experience.
It was different in the sense that the sound sources i worked from where of a very specific period, the baroque in this case. I didn't write anything for the musicians, we recorded their interpretations of baroque period music from lully, couperin, pourcel, etc, in a conventional way first but then we started experimenting modifying the score, it's tempo, pitch, inserting random pauses, etc, and at the end we ended up throwing all sorts of material inside the harpsichord and pounding on the viola da gamba's body. So a wide spectrum was explored.
How did your sound evolve over the years?
I got gradually more and more interested in texture and less in beat, but the best way to answer your question is for you to listen to the albums in a chronological manner.
I apologize for being impatient, but when is Océano coming out already?
I'm afraid not very soon, no specific date yet, all I can promise is that i will do my very best and hopefully it will be worth the wait.
As the albums continue to be named in a series of the initials from your alias, how would you define or name the overall project?
Like a personal diary, open for review to anyone who's interested.
And what happens after 'F'?
Not sure yet, change to another alias perhaps? I'll find another excuse to continue making music, that's for sure, as long as inspiration is present the rest comes almost by itself.

Oysterband : Deserters
In: September 2011
Mike Barnes 1
Cooking Vinyl – Cook CD 041
The recent breakthrough of Bellowhead in the UK is yet another of those moments when the English discover that they have a vibrant, deep and long musical heritage that – although not mainstream – is sustained by a loyal fan base of festival- and concert-goers. And so I went to the library in the East Wing and dug out a mid-period disc from one of the stalwarts of the English Folk Rock world, the indefategable Oysterband,
'Deserters' is as good an entry point to this world as any, giving a taste of the old and new, the mellow and the energetic spiced with a lyrical style that is political without being polemical. Ten of the eleven tracks on the album are self-penned with Telfer, Jones and Prosser leading the credits and only the last, 'Bells of Rhymney', a folk classic based on Idris Davies's 1926 poem of the same name, is borrowed and given the full Oysterband treatment.
For those new to the Oysterband the album opens with a typical example of their style. "All That Way For This" shows off John Jones's clear and smooth vocals balanced by Ian Telfer's energetic fiddle playing and driven along by the clean and tight rhythms of Lee and Chopper who give the band much of its unique feel. Of course, having sung the praises of the English Folk Rock oeuvre, lyrically, this opening pays homage to a faded American dream. Such is the life of a critic.
If there was any justice in the world then "The Deserter" should be heard in a stadium with sixty thousand people all singing the swaying anthemic chorus. It will never happen because not only is there no justice in the world, but I suspect the boys just wouldn't want to be that far away from their audience.
Let's move on through the fine and functional "Angels of the River" to "We Could Leave Right Now" which is one of those mood pieces the boys do every so often. Chopper's insistent cello providing the edgy drive over Lee's muted drums and lyrics that are evocative, wistful and vague. They do this; they create a musical canvas and invite you to paint your own pictures. Clever boys.
Half way through the album and "Elena's Shoes" bring us back into the quirky but firm political commentary that runs through their world like a seam of coal, sometimes thick and obvious, sometimes thin and subtle, but always there. But the real action follows with "Granite Years," a full-on, folk rock tub thumper with an audience participating chorus, Jones giving it all on the melodeon and Prosser finger-picking his way through the whole song. A good old pub knees up with a glorious ceilidh-style instrumental towards the end. Are you dancing yet? Oh come on, you know you want to!
It's tracks like "Granite Years" that reveal the soul of the Oysterband and to see them live is to see a band that you know just lives for the show and the energy they can put into and get back from a room, a hall, a tent, a festival field. Over the years they've done their "unplugged" albums and tours, they've toured with guests, they tour as a Celidh Band. Whatever, wherever, they just want to play.
The boys go pop for "Diamond for a Dime," sing of love and throw in some delicious couplets such as "So night falls on the station and your heart's desire / a diamond in the darkness, a messenger of fire," and then create another of their mood pieces in "Never Left". Unusually heavy on the electric guitar, Alan Prosser pulls some big chords as Jones strikes just the right level of restraint in his vocals. And then "Ship Sets Sail" finishes off this section of the record before the big finish.
"Fiddle or a Gun" explores familiar territory for the band as they question war and loss in a foot-tapping, high tempo, fiddle filled four minutes that just begs an audience to dance. And that's the Oysterband for you: fun, energetic, romantic, wistful.
They leave the best until last. "The Bells of Rhymney" could rightly be described as an old war horse. First loosed on the public by Pete Seeger in the late 50s and then covered by everyone since, including The Byrds, Bob Dylan, Cher, Jimmy Page and John Denver. It's easy to imagine John Jones wanting to do the song a capella, in the manner of Cole Not Dole, an Oysterband favourite, but it would have been too close to Pete Seeger's original. With a nod to Judy Collins' interpretation the boys have moved away from the singer-songwriter one-voice-and-guitar style and created a massive heavy sound that is as strong as the mines, the coal, and the communities that Davies was writing about and an atmosphere that is heavy with regret yet still proud and strong. Driven by Lee's loose drum loops that create tumbling thunder underneath a pleading refrain laid down by Prosser's guitar, Oysterband put the song right back into the Welsh valleys. This is muscular melancholy.
So what do we have here? Is it folk, is it rock? Is it English? Yes to all three is the simple answer but doubtless pubs and media courses will debate the finer points of such definitions for……well, forever. And while they do, it doesn't change the fact that this is a group that is hitting its stride musically, balancing its heritage and its politics and marking the start of a purple patch that ran throughout the 90s.

Basra, by Pete La Roca
1965 was a stellar year for Blue Note records. The label had been consistently releasing great jazz albums since 1939, and in the 60s found a new breed of musicians who blended the bebop and hard bop styles that identified the label during the 50s with new freedom and outward looking perspectives. Alongside albums by the established Lee Morgan, Dexter Gordon, Horace Silver and Jackie McLean, 1965 saw the releases of classic albums that pointed a way forward such as Herbie Hancock's Maiden Voyage, Bobby Hutcherson's Components, Sam Rivers' Contours, Tony Williams' Spring, Andrew Hill's Compulsion and Don Cherry's Complete Communion. Among them one release is the often forgotten but no less brilliant, the sole album as a leader of Pete La Roca on the label, Basra.
Pete La Roca was born Pete Sims in 1938 and in his early years as a professional musician played timbales in Latin bands, a period that gave him the name La Roca (the Rock) and a distinctive style that manifested itself in his drum set accompaniment and solos in later years. His first major gig was with Sonny Rollins to who he was introduced by Max Roach, playing live with the master saxophonist between 1957 and 1959. A sole album with La Roca survives from that period, the 1958 Blue Note album A Night at the Village Vanguard. From the afternoon set, A Night In Tunisia is a good example of La Roca's driving style and soloing in a piano-less trio. Elvin Jones, who also played that gig in the evening set, remembers: "And we came out there on Greenwich Street by the Village Vanguard and Wilbur Ware was standing outside under the marquis, and when he spotted me he said, "Jonesy! Sonny's looking for you." And I said, "Sonny who?" I didn't know Sonny. So Wilbur said, "Come on downstairs—he wants you to play with him." I figured we could go down here and get a drink here just as well as anywhere else. So we went down the steps. And Pete La Roca and Donald Bailey were playing—that was his regular trio. And I thought, "How am I going to play? Pete La Roca's playing. What am I supposed to do?" So at any rate, as it turned out, Sonny wanted me to play that set with him. And I did. And that's how that album came about. So those were Pete La Roca's drums."
Sonny Rollins with Pete La Roca
In 1959 La Roca played on Jackie McLean's album New Soil. The album might be considered a typical fare of well-played hard bop music but is significant for Minor Apprehension, a fast swinging tune written by McLean that was first recorded in 1955 as part of the Prestige album Quintet/Sextet by Miles Davis under the name Minor March. While the tune itself is still not distinctive, it features an outstanding drum solo by La Roca that predates some of the finest drummers of free jazz music in the 60s like Ed Blackwell, Tony Williams and Paul Motian. The solo is surprising, as it emerges out of nowhere after 5:00 minutes of fast swinging rhythm. The drums are suddenly left alone, and La Roca is not keeping time on his Hi Hat or Bass Drums like many swing or bop drummers do. The accents and fills drop seemingly in a time pattern known only to him. Maybe this was the first "free time" drum solo captured on vinyl. Ironically, La Roca was not a big fan of free jazz: "Free music is in a constant state of surprise and, consequently, presents no surprise at all. So, I'm not really a fan of Free music. Having said that, Jazz is based on individual expression and I'm compelled to respect the Free player's option to express himself as he chooses."
La Roca's big chance came early in 1960 when John Coltrane formed his first quartet after leaving Miles Davis' band, and due to the unavailability of the musicians he wanted (McCoy Tyner, Jimmy Garrison and Elvin Jones), started a group with Steve Kuhn on Piano, Steve Davis on Bass and Pete La Roca (recommended by Miles Davis) on drums. The band played for 10 weeks at the Jazz Gallery in New York. A low quality recording of La Roca from June 10 1960 survived, including Every Time We Say Goodbye. La Roca fondly remembered those times: "It was the perfect time for me to play with John. He had recently recorded the album Giant Steps. The title tune was difficult for me. It has a hard-wired harmonic rhythm (i.e., the pattern established by the points at which a new chord is played). Drummers use those points as accents or anchors. When they dominate, as in Giant Steps, most drummers will do essentially the same thing and sound essentially the same. I never want to sound like every other drummer and, at the same time, I can't ignore the character of the material. So, Giant Steps was difficult." Within a year Coltrane replaced all band members, formed his classic quartet and the rest is history.
John Coltrane, 1960
For a number of years in the early 60s La Roca was the house drummer as the Jazz Workshop in Boston. Keith Jarrett, a student at the time, recalls playing with him: "While I was still at Berklee, I was working upstairs at the Jazz Workshop at the bar, accompanying singers, which I liked. We had a break, and I went downstairs and didn't hear any music, and I thought what's going on? Herb knew me from Berklee big band class, and John said, so you want to play? I said, "Yeah!" John said, "Ray's late – we want to get started. Pete La Roca's on drums." I said, "OK!" meaning, hey, OK, of all the drummers I had heard up until then, Pete was one of the guys I considered as one of the best examples of how you could play without sounding like anybody else. And his time concept was unusual and I realized this is not amateur night anymore! That was a wonderful few tunes."

In the early part of the 60s La Roca continued to record with some of the best names in Jazz. He was a frequent session drummer on various Blue Note records, including Page One and Our Thing by Joe Henderson, both released in 1963, and the live album The Night of the Cookers by Freddie Hubbard from 1965. La Roca established a lasting relationship with Pianist Steve Kuhn during the 60s. After the gigs with John Coltrane they recorded as a trio with Scott LaFaro in 1960, leading to Stan Getz using that trio in 1961, a short stint for La Roca who was replaced by Roy Haynes after a few weeks. Kuhn and La Roca played together again in Art Farmer's band in 1964, after Steve Kuhn replaced guitarist Jim Hall. A nice video survived of La Roca with the original Art Farmer quartet, playing Sometime Ago. The album Sing Me Softly of the Blues was released in 1965 on the Atlantic jazz label. The title track is a favorite Carla Bley composition that appeared years later on her Dinner Music album. In 1966 Steve Kuhn released the album Three Waves with Pete La Roca and Steve Swallow on upright bass. The album included another Carla Bely composition, Ida Lupino and a lovely ballad, Ah, Moore.
That same trio was the basis for Pete La Roca's album Basra on Blue Note records, recorded on May 19 1965 with Joe Henderson on tenor sax. A gem among many wonderful albums the label released in the 60s, it starts with a song La Roca likely played during his Latin bands period, Malagueña by Ernesto Lecuona. The band's take on the composition by the legendary Cuban composer, who escaped Fidel Castro's regime in 1960 and moved to Florida, is an inspired group ensemble vamp propelled by La Roca's cymbal work. Scott LaFaro used to complain during their gigs with Stan Getz that all he hears from La Roca is cymbals and he wanted more drums. I have no problem with that cymbal work on Malagueña. La Roca had a knack for ethnic music, and when asked about this he said: "among the tunes I've recorded are Basra (Middle Eastern), Malagueña (Spanish), Drum Town (African), Nihon Bashi (Japanese) and Turkish Women at the Bath (a set of six tunes based upon themes from various Middle Eastern countries and Turkey, intended to "illuminate" the Ingres painting that is so named). One of my tunes, Raga, is based upon a definition I once read of how an Indian raga is constructed, but I haven't had the opportunity yet to record it."
The highlight on the album is another example of using the essence of ethnic music in the context of jazz – the title track Basra, a rhythmic 10 minute meditation based on a single chord. 6 minutes into the song La Roca plays another great solo. I love not only what he plays, but the tasteful gaps between his phrases. A key to great music is often the silence between the notes, and La Roca is a master of that. Here is Basra:

Basra is one of those albums I bought when I was going through a Joe Henderson phase, your comments took me back to listen again. Thanks, I also enjoyed your post on Caravanserai, another record I am finding my way back into.
