Joan Doyle
Unnamed sister
Unnamed husband
Mrs. Dineen
Mrs. Doyle is the housekeeper of Craggy Island Parochial House. She was portrayed by Irish actress Pauline McLynn.
2 Physical description
3 Personality and traits
4 Abilities and Skills
Little is known about Mrs. Doyle, other than she is in her 40s when the show was on air (meaning she was born at some point in the 1950s). She also mentioned that she has a sister.
She appears to dress similar to middle-aged housekeepers who reside in the Irish countryside and wears her hair untidily. Although she has glasses, she hates wearing them as they highlight her shabby look. She also has problems seeing when wearing them, evident when she puts them on and tells Ted that she can't find her way to the kitchen. She wears them again when three bishops are visiting and totally misses them going to grab the Fererro Roche's she has offered them.
Personality and traits
Mrs Doyle is characterized as being hyperactive, repressed and very persistent, occasionally to the point of being manic, and angry, such as when someone refuses the offer of a cup of tea, to which she will then respond with "Go on" which she usually repeats, getting quicker each time, this occasionally causes injury to those around her.
Making Tea: Mrs Doyle makes tea on a very regular basis, and takes great pride in it, and she's willing to go to severe lengths to serve it, even going as far as to stay up all night in case Ted, Dougal or Jack want a cup.
Food Preparation: Mrs Doyle can prepare large quantities of food in very short periods of time, as seen when she made a literal mountain of sandwiches, when Henry Sellers was visiting. She also produced a similar mountain of Ferrero Roche chocolates when Bishops Facks, O'Neil and Jordan visited the parochial house.
General Maintenance: Mrs Doyle carries out repairs on on the house when needed to, including fixing the roof digging a ditch.
Poetry: Mrs Doyle can apparently write decent poetry, as it won her the opportunity to meet Eoin McLove
Her husband is mentioned several times, but she always changes the subject before divulging too much information. It is implied that their marriage was unhappy, which is why Mrs Doyle has such a negative view on sex.
She is the only one in the parochial house to be able to do household chores as when she went out for relax, Ted and Dougal clumsily caused a huge fire in the kitchen while they were attempting to make tea.
Mrs Doyle's first name is never revealed. However, in the official script book her first name is given as "Joan".

Sennheiser PXC 550 Wireless Review – Rivaling the Bose QC35
What you get with the Sennheiser PXC 550 Wireless is a very comfortable pair of headphones that is reasonably lightweight. These over-ear wireless headphones also sound very good, and it does offer an impressive noise-cancellation technology the likes of which can even rival that of the Bose Quiet Comfort 35's performance. It also has touch controls and performs excellently as a headset with a strong battery life. But one thing that may put people off right off the bat is its price tag, as Sennheiser's offering is pricier than that of Bose's.
The Sennheiser PXC 550 Wireless Has a Noise-Cancellation Feature That Rivals the Bose Q35
Just like the Bose Quiet Comfort 35, the Sennheiser PXC 550 Wireless is quite the comfortable pair of headphones. Furthermore, it is relatively lightweight with a weight of 8-ounces, or 227-grams. While still comparing the two headphones, Sennheiser's headphone has an earcup design that is different than that of the Bose QC35 as it does not have as wide as opening as the headphones offered by Bose. This is partially due to the earpads being puffier. So who won the comfort round? The Bose QC35 still wins the comfort crown, but it doesn't mean Sennheiser's offering is far behind.
The PXC 550 Wireless does fold up neatly into a nice little package, and it even has its own carrying case right out of the standard packaging. It does feel like the headphone is well-built, but it doesn't have the premium touches of the company's own Momentum II Wireless.
What immediately differentiates Sennheiser's headphone from the Bose Quiet Comfort 35 is that it has touch controls found on the right ear cup. Furthermore, the device will automatically turn on as soon as you put it on your ears. Also, it will automatically shut down when you fold it flat. When talking about Bluetooth pairing, it does work flawlessly. There are some Bluetooth streaming hiccups, but these are very minimal.
When it comes to the sound quality as well as the active noise-cancellation technology found on the Sennheiser PXC 500 Wireless, you will find these features to perform quite good. However, Bose's offering is still the clear winner in this regard, but once again, these Sennheiser headphones do not lag too far behind. As a matter of fact, it does come really close. It offers hiss-free listening, and even when listening to your favorite tracks with the highest volume level available, it is essentially free of those hisses.

Paul Barrere 10/19
October 26, 2019 – Paul Barrere was born on July 3, 1948, the son of Hollywood actors Paul Bryar and Claudia Bryar. He joined celebrated cult band Little Feat in 1973, before the band recorded their third full-length LP, the gold-certified 'Dixie Chicken'. For the recording of its fourth album, Feats Don't Fail Me Now (1974), he wrote the title track. As Barrere stayed with the group, he took, along with keyboard player Bill Payne, an increasing role in singing, playing, and writing, as bandleader/founder Lowell George slowly retreated. When the group fragmented following George's death in 1979, Paul led the group Chicken Legs.
Barrere then did sessions and recorded solo in the 1980s until the re-formation of Little Feat in 1988.
Barrere contracted Hepatitis C in 1994, but had managed to keep it under control, after he took a brief leave of absence. In 2015, he was diagnosed with liver cancer. Earlier this month, Barrere announced he was taking a medical leave of absence, but planned to be back on stage this upcoming January 2020, for the band's headlining performance at Jamaica's Ramble on the Island.
In a statement the members of Little feat announced:
It is with great sorrow that Little Feat must announce the passing of our brother guitarist, Paul Barrere, this morning at UCLA Hospital. We ask for your kindest thoughts and best wishes to go out especially to his widow Pam and children Gabriel, Genevieve, and Gillian, and to all the fans who were his extended family.
Paul auditioned for Little Feat as a bassist when it was first being put together—in his words, "as a bassist I make an excellent guitarist"—and three years later joined the band in his proper role on guitar. Forty-seven years later, he was forced to miss the current tour, which will end tomorrow, due to side effects from his ongoing treatment for liver disease.
He promised to follow his doctor's orders, get back in shape, and rock on the beach at the band's annual gathering in Jamaica in January 2020. "Until then," he wrote, "keep your sailin' shoes close by…if I have my way, you're going to need them!"
As the song he sang so many times put it, he was always "Willin'," but it was not meant to be. Paul, sail on to the next place in your journey with our abiding love for a life always dedicated to the muse and the music. We are grateful for the time we have shared.
Yours in music,
Little Feat: Bill Payne, Sam Clayton, Fred Tackett, Kenny Gradney, and Gabe Ford.
Little Feat released 16 studio albums over a span of 41 years, the last being 'Rooster Rag', in 2012. Barrere released three solo albums: 'On My Own Two Feet' (1983), 'Real Lies' (1984) and 'If the Phone Don't Ring' (1986).
He also worked with Robert Palmer, Bob Dylan, Taj Mahal, Jack Bruce, Carly Simon and Nicolette Larson. That is his guitar work on Nicolette's cover of Neil Young's 'Lotta Love'.
Barrere was a swing man as a guitarist who played a wide variety of styles of music including blues, rock, jazz, and cajun music and was proficient as a slide guitarist.
Barrere also recorded and toured as an acoustic duo with fellow Little Feat member Fred Tackett.
Barrere played several concerts with Phil Lesh and Friends in October 1999 and from March to June 2000. He also toured with Bob Dylan, and had most recently been writing and recording with Roger Cole.
Paul wrote Little Feat's 'Feats Don't Fail Me Now', 'All That You Dream', 'Time Loves A Hero' and 'Down On The Farm'. He joined the band for their third album 'Dixie Chicken' was had been a member ever since.
Little Feat guitarist Paul Barrere passed away at the age of 71 on October 26, 2019

Paul Buckmaster 11/2017
November 7, 2017 – Paul Buckmaster born on June 13, 1946 in London England.
At age four, Buckmaster started attending a small private school in London called the London Violoncello School, and continued studying cello under several private teachers until he was ten. In 1957, his mother, a concert pianist took him and his two siblings to Naples, where he auditioned with cello professor Willy La Volpe, to be assessed as eligible for a scholarship. After Paul's attending classes over a two-month period, La Volpe determined that Paul was eligible for an Italian State scholarship, and for the next four years, he studied there eight months per year. This was a radically formative period, in which he deepened his love for the music of J. S. Bach, studying the unaccompanied cellos suites. It was during this period in Italy that Paul discovered his love for jazz. He then won a scholarship to study the cello at the Royal Academy of Music, from which he graduated with a performance diploma in 1967. Continue reading Paul Buckmaster 11/2017

Whitey Glan 11/2017
November 7, 2017 – Pentti "Whitey" Glan was born on July 8, 1946 in Finland , just after World War II had come to an end and tensions with Russia were high. The family moved to Toronto Canada soon after.
Whitey Glan's first serious band was the Canadian soul band The Rogues (later called Mandala) which he formed with keyboardist Josef Chirowski and bassist Don Elliot; they had worked together in other teenage bands like Whitey & The Roulettes. Mandala had their first hit single with "Opportunity" with original singer George Oliver, recorded at Chess Records.
In 1966 Glan played several shows with Mandala in Ontario and recorded the first two demo songs of his career ("I Can't Hold Out No Longer" and "I'll Make It Up To You"). Roy Kenner had replaced George Oliver. When they played their first shows in the USA they performed at the Whiskey A Go Go. They recorded their only album Soul Crusade in 1968 which produced a hit single ("Loveitis") but they disbanded in 1969 after several line-up changes and poor album sales.

Skip Haynes 10/2017
October 2, 2017 – Skip Haynes was born Eugene Heitlinger in Franklin Park Illinois in 1946. He graduated East Leyden High School in 1963. When it comes to rock music being the sound track to our boomer generation, there are certain songs that stand out and stay a perennial anthem such as Scott McKenzie's San Francisco (Wear some flowers in your hair), Steve Goodman's City of New Orleans and the song Skip Haynes wrote and performed about Chicago's Lake Shore Drive.
Haynes was born Eugene Heitlinger, but a club manager told him early in his career there wasn't enough room on the marquee for that. Since his grandfather called him Skippy, he decided to take the name Skip Haynes. Continue reading Skip Haynes 10/2017

Barry "Frosty" Smith 4/2017
April 12, 2017 – Barry "Frosty" Smith (Soulhat/Sweathog) was born Barry Eugene Smith on March 20, 1946 in Bellingham, Washington.
Smith was raised in the California Bay Area, where he proved a tap dancing prodigy. He was a professional tap dancer from age 3 to 12. Obviously rhythm was part of him. He received schooling in classical piano before taking to the drum kit, due to their natural feel. After playing in dive clubs and strip bars in the San Francisco – San José area, he moved to Los Angeles in the early 70s where he got his first big break, as drummer for organist Lee Michaels with whom he toured nationally and internationally.

John "J" Geils 4/2017
April 11, 2017 – John Warren "J" Geils was born on February 20, 1946, in New York City and grew up in Morris Plains, New Jersey. His father was an engineer at Bell Labs and a jazz and vintage car fan, two passions little John Geils's took with him for the rest of his life. For his 10th birthday, his father took him to see Louis Armstrong. For his 13th birthday, he went with his father to see Miles Davis. Drawn to jazz early, he said he did not have the "chops," or jazz virtuosity, but discovered that he could play the blues. The chops are something he developed later in life, after the whirlwind years of touring with the J. Geils Band. Continue reading John "J" Geils 4/2017

Keith Emerson 3/2016
March 10, 2016 – Keith Noel Emerson (Emerson,Lake,Palmer ELP) was born in Todmorden, Yorkshire on 2 November 1944. His family had been evacuated there from the south coast of England during the Second World War. He grew up in Goring-by-Sea, in the borough of the seaside resort of Worthing, West Sussex and attended West Tarring School. His parents were musically inclined and arranged for him to take piano lessons starting at the age of 8. His father, Noel, was an amateur pianist, and thought that Emerson would benefit most as a player from being versatile and being able to read music. However, he never received any formal musical training, and described his piano teachers as being "local little old ladies". He learned western classical music, which largely inspired his own style, combining it with jazz and rock themes. Continue reading Keith Emerson 3/2016

Errol Brown 5/2015
May 6, 2015 – Errol Brown was born on December 11, 1943 in Kingston, Jamaica, but moved with his family, to the UK when he was twelve years old. In the late 60s, Errol and his friend Tony Wilson formed a band which was first called 'Hot Chocolate Band' but this was soon shortened to Hot Chocolate by Mickie Most.
Hot Chocolate started their recording career making a reggae version of John Lennon's "Give Peace a Chance", but Errol was told he needed permission. He was contacted by Apple Records, discovered that Lennon liked his version, and the group was subsequently signed to Apple Records. The link was short-lived as The Beatles were starting to break up, and the Apple connection soon ended. But it was in the disco era of the mid-1970s when Hot Chocolate became a big success.

Jack Ely 4/2015
April 28, 2015 – Jack Ely was born on September 11, 1943 in Portland, Oregon near the confluence of the Willamette and Columbia rivers. Both of his parents were music majors at the University of Oregon, and his father, Ken Ely, was a singer. His father died when he was four years old and his mother subsequently remarried.
Ely began playing piano while still a young child, and was performing recitals all over the Portland area before his seventh birthday. When he was eleven, a piano teacher provided what he termed "jazz improvisation lessons." The teacher would show Ely a section of a classical composition, and the boy would have to make up 15 similar pieces. He would be required to share each in class and then make up one on the spot.

Jack Bruce 10/2014
October 25, 2014 – Jack Bruce, probably best known as songwriter/singer and bass player for 1960s Super Group Cream, was born in Glasgow/Scotland on May 14, 1943.
His parents travelled extensively in Canada and the U.S.A. and Jack attended 14 different schools, finishing his formal education at Bellahouston Academy and the Royal Scottish Academy of Music, to which he won a scholarship for cello and composition. He left the Academy and his homeland at the age of 16, because of poverty and discouraged by his professors' lack of interest in his ideas.
Jack travelled to Italy and then England, playing double-bass in dance bands and jazz groups, and joined his first important band in 1962 in London. This was Alexis Korner's Blues Inc. with whom Charlie Watts, later to join the Rolling Stones, was their drummer. Jack left Alexis in 1963 to form a group with organist Graham Bond, guitarist John McLaughlin and drummer Ginger Baker. This group became the seminal Graham Bond Organisation after McLaughlin left, and saxophonist Dick Heckstall-Smith joined. Jack was compelled by Ginger Baker to leave this band after three years, because his playing was "too busy"!
Jack turned down Marvin Gaye's offer to join his U.S.-based band because of his impending first marriage. He then joined John Mayall's Blues Breakers, where he first met Eric Clapton, followed by Manfred Mann in an ill-advised attempt at commercialism. It was Ginger Baker who initially asked Jack to form a trio with Eric Clapton. Eric insisted that Jack would be the singer.
Cream went on to sell 35 million albums in just over two years and was awarded the first ever platinum disc for Wheels of Fire. Jack wrote and sang most of the songs, including "I Feel Free", "White Room", "Politician" and perhaps the world's most performed guitar riff, in "Sunshine Of Your Love". Cream split in November 1968 at the height of their popularity; Jack felt that he had strayed too far from his ideals and wanted to re-discover his musical and social roots.

Lou Reed 10/2013
October 27, 2013 – Lou Reed was born Lewis Allan Reed into a Jewish family in Brooklyn , New York.
Although he acknowledged that he was Jewish, he always added, "My God is rock'n'roll. It's an obscure power that can change your life. The most important part of my religion is to play guitar."
Reed attended Atkinson Elementary School in Freeport on Long Island and went on to Freeport Junior High School, notorious for its gangs. As a teenager, he suffered panic attacks, became socially awkward and "possessed a fragile temperament" but was highly focused on things that he liked – principally music.
Reed resumed his education at Syracuse University in 1960, studying journalism, film directing, and creative writing. He was a platoon leader in ROTC and was later expelled from the program for holding an unloaded gun to his superior's head. In 1961, he began hosting a late-night radio program on WAER called Excursions On A Wobbly Rail. Named after a song by pianist Cecil Taylor, the program typically featured doo wop, rhythm and blues, and jazz, particularly the free jazz developed in the mid-1950s.

Jon Lord 7/2012
July 16, 2012 – John Douglas "Jon" Lord ( Deep Purple/Whitesnake) was born in Leicester, England on June 9th 1941 and retained a strong bond with the city throughout his life. His father was an amateur saxophone musician and encouraged Lord from an early age. There was an old upright piano in the house and Jon showed an early interest in the instrument so his parents enrolled him for formal piano lessons when he was seven. At nine he found another teacher, Frederick All, who gave recitals for the BBC and played the church organ. "He was a marvelous teacher", says Lord. "He could impart a love of music to his students as well as teaching them to play it. He taught me to enjoy music and to want to play well." Those influences were a recurring trademark in Jon's work.
He attended Wyggeston Grammar School for Boys between 1952 and 1958 and then worked as a clerk in a solicitor's office for two years, but was fired for taking too much time off work.
Lord absorbed the blues sounds that played a key part in his rock career, principally the raw sounds of the great American blues organists Jimmy Smith, Jimmy McGriff and "Brother" Jack McDuff ("Rock Candy"), as well as the stage showmanship of Jerry Lee Lewis and performers like Buddy Holly, whom he saw perform at the De Montfort Hall in Leicester in March 1958.
Lord moved to London in 1959–60, intent on an acting career and enrolling at the Central School of Speech and Drama, in London's Swiss Cottage. Following a celebrated student rebellion he became a founder of Drama Centre London, from where he graduated in 1964. From here on his life became a Who's Who in the early London years of the British Invasion and beyond.
Small acting parts followed, and Lord continued playing the piano and the organ in nightclubs and as a session musician to earn a living. He started his band career in London in 1960 with the jazz ensemble The Bill Ashton Combo. Ashton became a key figure in jazz education in Britain, creating what later became the National Youth Jazz Orchestra. Between 1960 and 1963, Lord and Ashton both moved on to Red Bludd's Bluesicians (also known as The Don Wilson Quartet), the latter of which featured the singer Arthur "Art" Wood, brother of guitarist Ronnie Wood. Wood had previously sung with Alexis Korner's Blues Incorporated and was a junior figure in the British blues movement.
In this period, Lord altered the spelling of his name from his birth name "John" to "Jon" and his session credits included playing the keyboards in "You Really Got Me", The Kinks number one hit of 1964, however in a Guitar World interview Ray Davies of The Kinks stated it was actually Arthur Greenslade playing piano on that particular track.
Following the break-up of Redd Bludd's Bluesicians in late 1963, Wood, Lord, and the drummer Red Dunnage put together a new band, The Art Wood Combo. This also included Derek Griffiths (guitar) and Malcolm Pool (bass guitar). Dunnage left in December 1964 to be replaced by Keef Hartley, who had previously replaced Ringo Starr in Rory Storm and the Hurricanes. This band, later known as "The Artwoods", focused on the organ as the bluesy, rhythmic core of their sound, in common with the contemporary bands The Spencer Davis Group (Steve Winwood on organ) and The Animals (with Alan Price). They made appearances on the BBC's Saturday Club radio show and on such TV programs as Ready Steady Go!. It also performed abroad, and it appeared on the first Ready Steady Goes Live, promoting its first single the Lead Belly song "Sweet Mary" — but significant commercial success eluded it. Its only charting single was "I Take What I Want", which reached number 28 on 8 May 1966.
The jazz-blues organ style of black R&B organ players in the 1950s and 1960s, using the trademark blues-organ sound of the Hammond organ (B3 and C3 models) and combining it with the Leslie speaker system (the well-known Hammond-Leslie speaker combination), were seminal influences on Lord. Lord also stated later that he was heavily influenced by the organ-based progressive rock played by Vanilla Fudge after seeing that band perform in Great Britain in 1967, and earlier by the personal direction he received from British organ pioneer Graham Bond.
The Artwoods regrouped in 1967 as the "St. Valentine's Day Massacre". This was an attempt to cash in on the 1930s gangster craze set off by the American film Bonnie and Clyde. Hartley left the band in 1967 to join John Mayall's Bluesbreakers. Lord next founded the "Santa Barbera Machine Head", featuring Art's brother, Ronnie Wood, writing and recording three powerful keyboard-driven instrumental tracks, giving a preview of the future style of Deep Purple. Soon thereafter, Lord went on to cover for the keyboard player Billy Day in "The Flower Pot Men", where he met the bass guitarist Nick Simper along with drummer Carlo Little and guitarist Ged Peck. Lord and Simper then toured with this band in 1967 to promote its hit single "Let's Go To San Francisco", but the two men never recorded with this band.
In early 1967, through his roommate Chris Curtis of the Searchers, Lord met businessman Tony Edwards who was looking to invest in the music business alongside partners Ron Hire and John Coletta (HEC Enterprises). Session guitarist Ritchie Blackmore was called in and he met Lord for the first time, but Chris Curtis's erratic behaviour led the trio nowhere. Edwards was impressed enough by Jon Lord to ask him to form a band after Curtis faded out. Simper was contacted, and Blackmore was recalled from Hamburg. Although top British player Bobby Woodman was the first choice as drummer, during the auditions for a singer, Rod Evans of "The Maze" came in with his own drummer, Ian Paice. Blackmore, who had been impressed by Paice's drumming when he met him in 1967, set up an audition for Paice as well. The band was called the "Roundabout" at first and began rehearsals at Deeves Hall in Hertfordshire. By March 1968, this became the "Mark 1" line-up of "Deep Purple": Lord, Simper, Blackmore, Paice, and Evans. Lord also helped form the band "Boz" with some of its recordings being produced by Derek Lawrence. "Boz" included Boz Burrell (later of King Crimson and Bad Company), Blackmore (guitar), Paice (drums), Chas Hodges (bass).
Lord pushed the Hammond-Leslie sound through Marshall amplification, creating a growling, heavy, mechanical sound which allowed Lord to compete with Blackmore as a soloist, with an organ that sounded as prominent as the lead guitar. Said one reviewer, "many have tried to imitate [Lord's] style, and all failed." Said Lord himself, "There's a way of playing a Hammond that's different. A lot of people make the mistake of thinking that you can play a Hammond with a piano technique. Well, you can, but it sounds like you are playing a Hammond with a piano technique. Really, you have to learn how to play an organ. It's a legato technique; it's a technique to achieve legato on a non-legato instrument."
In early Deep Purple recordings, Lord had appeared to be the leader of the band. Despite the cover songs "Hush" and "Kentucky Woman" becoming hits in North America, Deep Purple never made chart success in the UK until the Concerto for Group and Orchestra album (1970). Lord's willingness later to play many of the key rhythm parts gave Blackmore the freedom to let loose both live and on record.
On Deep Purple's second and third albums, Lord began indulging his ambition to fuse rock with classical music. An early example of this is the song "Anthem" from the album The Book of Taliesyn (1968), but a more prominent example is the song "April" from the band's self-titled third album (1969). The song is recorded in three parts: 1. Lord and Blackmore only, on keyboards and acoustic guitar, respectively; 2. an orchestral arrangement complete with strings; and 3. the full rock band with vocals. Lord's ambition enhanced his reputation among fellow musicians, but caused tension within the group.
Simper later said, "The reason the music lacked direction was Jon Lord fucked everything up with his classical ideas." Blackmore agreed to go along with Lord's experimentation, provided he was given his head on the next band album.
The resulting Concerto For Group and Orchestra (in 1969) was one of rock's earliest attempts to fuse two distinct musical idioms. Performed live at the Royal Albert Hall on 24 September 1969 (with new band members Ian Gillan and Roger Glover, Evans and Simper having been fired), it was recorded by the BBC and later released as an album. The Concerto gave Deep Purple its first highly publicised taste of mainstream fame and gave Lord the confidence to believe that his experiment and his compositional skill had a future
Purple began work on Deep Purple in Rock, released by their new label Harvest in 1970 and now recognised as one of hard rock's key early works. Lord and Blackmore competed to out-dazzle each other, often in classical-style, midsection 'call and answer' improvisation (on tracks like "Speed King"), something they employed to great effect live. Ian Gillan said that Lord provided the idea on the main organ riff for "Child in Time" although the riff was also based on It's a Beautiful Day's 1969 psychedelic hit song "Bombay Calling". Lord's experimental solo on "Hard Lovin' Man" (complete with police-siren interpolation) from this album was his personal favourite among his Deep Purple studio performances.
Deep Purple released another six studio albums between 1971 (Fireball) and 1975 (Come Taste the Band). Gillan and Glover left in 1973 and Blackmore in 1975, and the band disintegrated in 1976. The highlights of Lord's Purple work in the period include the 1972 album Machine Head (featuring his rhythmic underpinnings on "Smoke on the Water" and "Space Truckin'", plus the organ solos on "Highway Star", "Pictures of Home" and "Lazy"), the sonic bombast of the Made in Japan live album (1972), an extended, effect-laden solo on "Rat Bat Blue" from the Who Do We Think We Are album (1973), and his overall playing on the Burn album from 1974.
Roger Glover would later describe Lord as a true "Zen-archer soloist", someone whose best keyboard improvisation often came at the first attempt. Lord's strict reliance on the Hammond C3 organ sound, as opposed to the synthesizer experimentation of his contemporaries, places him firmly in the jazz-blues category as a band musician and far from the progressive-rock sound of Keith Emerson and Rick Wakeman. Lord rarely ventured into the synthesizer territory on Purple albums, often limiting his experimentation to the use of the ring modulator with the Hammond, to give live performances on tracks like Space Truckin' a distinctive 'spacy' sound. Instances of his Deep Purple synthesizer use (he became an endorser of the ARP Oyssey) include "'A' 200", the final track from Burn, and "Love Child" on the Come Taste the Band album.
In early 1973 Lord stated: "We're as valid as anything by Beethoven."
Lord continued to focus on his classical aspirations alongside his Deep Purple career. The BBC, buoyed by the success of the Concerto, commissioned him to write another piece and the resulting "Gemini Suite" was performed by Deep Purple and the Light Music Society under Malcolm Arnold at the Royal Festival Hall in September 1970, and then in Munich with the Kammerorchester conducted by Eberhard Schoener in January 1972. It then became the basis for Lord's first solo album, Gemini Suite, released in November 1972, with vocals by Yvonne Elliman and Tony Ashton and with the London Symphony Orchestra backing a band that included Albert Lee on guitar.(Ritchie Blackmore had played the guitar at the first live performance of the Gemini Suite in September 1970, but declined the invitation to appear on the studio version, which led to the involvement of Lee. Other performers were Yvonne Elliman, Ian Paice, Roger Glover, Tony Ashton).
In March 1974, Lord and Paice had collaborated with friend Tony Ashton on First of the Big Bands, credited to 'Ashton & Lord' and featuring a rich array of session talent, including Carmine Appice, Ian Paice, Peter Frampton and Pink Floyd saxophonist/sessioner, Dick Parry. They performed much of the set live at the London Palladium in September 1974.
This formed the basis of Lord's first post-Deep Purple project Paice Ashton Lord, which lasted only a year and spawned a single album, Malice in Wonderland in 1977, recorded at Musicland Studios Musicland Studios at the Arabella Hotel in Munich. He created an informal group of friends and collaborators including Ashton, Paice, Bernie Marsden, Boz Burrell and later, Bad Company's Mick Ralphs, Simon Kirke and others. Over the same period, Lord guested on albums by Maggie Bell, Nazareth and even folk artist Richard Digance. Eager to pay off a huge tax bill upon his return the UK in the late-1970s (Purple's excesses included their own tour jet and a home Lord rented in Malibu from actress Ann-Margret and where he wrote the Sarabande album), Lord joined former Deep Purple band member David Coverdale's new band, Whitesnake in August 1978 (Lord's job in Whitesnake was largely limited to adding color or, in his own words, a 'halo' to round out a blues-rock sound that already accommodated two lead guitarists, Bernie Marsden and Micky Moody.
A number of singles such as "Here I Go Again", "Wine, Women and Song", "She's a Woman" and "Till the Day I Die" entered the UK chart, taking the now 40-something Lord onto Top of the Pops with regularity between 1980 and 1983. He later expressed frustration that he was a poorly paid hired-hand, but fans saw little of this discord and Whitesnake's commercial success kept him at the forefront of readers' polls as heavy rock's foremost keyboard maestro. His dissatisfaction (and Coverdale's eagerness to revamp the band's line-up and lower the average age to help crack the US market) smoothed the way for the reformation of Deep Purple Mk II in 1984.
During his tenure in Whitesnake, Lord had the opportunity to record two distinctly different solo albums and was later commissioned by producer Patrick Gamble for Central Television to write the soundtrack for their 1984 TV series, Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady, based on the book by Edith Holden, with an orchestra conducted by Alfred Ralston and with a distinctly gentle, pastoral series of themes composed by Lord. Lord became firmly established as a member of UK rock's "Oxfordshire mansion aristocracy" – with a home, Burntwood Hall, set in 23.5 acres at Goring-on-Thames, complete with its own cricket pitch and a hand-painted Challen baby grand piano, previously owned by Shirley Bassey. He was asked to guest on albums by friends George Harrison (Gone Troppo from 1982) and Pink Floyd's David Gilmour (1984's About Face), Cozy Powell (Octopus in 1983) and to play on an adaptation of Kenneth Grahame's classic, Wind in the Willows. He composed and produced the score for White Fire (1984), which consisted largely of two songs performed by Limelight. In 1985 he made a brief appearance as a member of The Singing Rebel's band (which also featured Eric Clapton, George Harrison and Ringo Starr) in the Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais-scripted film Water (1985) (Handmade Films).
In the 1980s he was also a member of an all-star band called Olympic Rock & Blues Circus fronted by Pete York and featuring a rotating line-up of the likes of Miller Anderson, Tony Ashton, Brian Auger, Zoot Money, Colin Hodgkinson, Chris Farlowe and many others. Olympic Rock & Blues Circus toured primarily in Germany between 1981 and 1989. Some musicians, including Lord, took part in York's TV musical extravaganza Superdrumming between 1987 and 1989.
Lord's re-emergence with Deep Purple in 1984 resulted in huge audiences for the reformed Mk II line-up, including 1985s second largest grossing tour in the US and an appearance in front of 80,000 rain-soaked fans headlining Knebworth on 22 June 1985, all to support the Perfect Strangers album. Playing with a rejuvenated Mk. II Purple line-up (including spells at a health farm to get the band including Lord into shape) and being onstage and in the studio with Blackmore, gave Lord the chance to push himself once again. His 'rubato' classical opening sequence to the album's opener, "Knocking at Your Back Door" (complete with F-Minor to G polychordal harmony sequence), gave Lord the chance to do his most powerful work for years, including the song "Perfect Strangers". Further Deep Purple albums followed, often of varying quality, and by the late-1990s, Lord was clearly keen to explore new avenues for his musical career.
In 1997, he created perhaps his most personal work to date, Pictured Within, released in 1998 with a European tour to support it. Lord's mother Miriam had died in August 1995 and the album is a deeply affecting piece, inflected at all stages by Lord's sense of grief. Recorded largely in Lord's home-away-from-home, the city of Cologne, the album's themes are Elgarian and alpine in equal measure. Lord signed to Virgin Classics to release it, and perhaps saw it as the first stage in his eventual departure from Purple to embark on a low-key and altogether more gentle solo career. One song from Pictured Within, entitled "Wait A While" was later covered by Norwegian singer Sissel Kyrkjebø on her 2003/2004 album My Heart. Lord finally retired from Deep Purple amicably in 2002, preceded by a knee injury that eventually resolved itself without surgery. He said subsequently, "Leaving Deep Purple was just as traumatic as I had always suspected it would be and more so – if you see what I mean". He even dedicated a song to it on 2004's solo effort, Beyond the Notes, called "De Profundis". The album was recorded in Bonn with producer Mario Argandoña between June and July 2004.
Lord slowly built a small, but distinct position and fan base for himself in Europe. He collaborated with former ABBA superstar and family friend, Frida (Anni-Frid Lyngstad,) on the 2004 track, "The Sun Will Shine Again" (with lyrics by Sam Brown) and performed with her across Europe. He subsequently also performed European concerts to première the 2007-scheduled Boom of the Tingling Strings orchestral piece.
In 2003 he also returned to his beloved R-n-B/blues heritage to record an album of standards in Sydney, with Australia's Jimmy Barnes, entitled Live in the Basement, by Jon Lord and the Hoochie Coochie Men, showing himself to be one of British rock music's most eclectic and talented instrumentalists. Lord was also happy to support the Sam Buxton Sunflower Jam Healing Trust and in September 2006, performed at a star-studded event to support the charity led by Ian Paice's wife, Jacky (twin sister of Lord's wife Vicky). Featured artists on stage with Lord included Paul Weller, Robert Plant, Phil Manzanera, Ian Paice and Bernie Marsden.
In July 2011, Lord performed his final live concert appearance, the Sunflower Jam at the Royal Albert Hall, where he premiered his joint composition with Rick Wakeman. At that point, they had begun informal discussion on recording an album together. Up until 2011, Lord had also been working on material with the recently formed rock supergroup WhoCares, also featuring singer Ian Gillan from Deep Purple, guitarist Tony Iommi from Black Sabbath, second guitarist Mikko Lindström from HIM, bassist Jason Newsted formerly from Metallica and drummer Nicko McBrain from Iron Maiden, specifically the composition "Out of My Mind," in addition to new compositions with Steve Balsamo and a Hammond Organ Concerto. Lord subsequently cancelled a performance of his Durham Concerto in Hagen, Germany, for what his website said was a continuation of his medical treatment (the concert, scheduled for 6 July 2012, would have been his return to live performance after treatment).
Lord's Concerto for Group and Orchestra was effectively recommissioned by him, recorded in Liverpool and at Abbey Road Studios across 2011 and under post-production in 2012 with the Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra performing, conducted by long-time collaborator, conductor Paul Mann. The recording was at completion at the time of Lord's death, with Lord having been able to review the final master recordings. The album and DVD were subsequently released in 2012.
In July 2011, Lord was found to be suffering from pancreatic cancer. After treatment in both England and in Israel, he died on 16 July 2012 at the London Clinic after suffering from a pulmonary embolism. He was 71.
• On 11 November 2010, he was inducted as an Honorary Fellow of Stevenson College in Edinburgh, Scotland. On 15 July 2011, he was awarded an honorary Doctor of Music degree at De Montfort Hall by the University of Leicester. Lord was posthumously inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on 8 April 2016 as a member of Deep Purple.
• Lars Ulrich, founding member and drummer in Metallica commented, "Ever since my father took me to see them in 1973 in Copenhagen, at the impressionable age of 9, Deep Purple has been the most constant, continuous and inspiring musical presence in my life. They have meant more to me than any other band in existence, and have had an enormous part in shaping who I am. We can all be guilty of lightly throwing adjectives like 'unique,' 'one-of-a-kind' and 'pioneering' around when we want to describe our heroes and the people who've moved us, but there are no more fitting words than those right now and there simply was no musician like Jon Lord in the history of hard rock. Nobody. Period. There was nobody that played like him. There was nobody that sounded like him. There was nobody that wrote like him. There was nobody that looked like him. There was nobody more articulate, gentlemanly, warm, or fucking cooler that ever played keyboards or got anywhere near a keyboard. What he did was all his own."
• Former keyboard player of rock band Yes, Rick Wakeman, who was a friend of Lord's, said he was "a great fan" and added "We were going to write and record an album before he became ill. His contribution to music and to classic rock was immeasurable and I will miss him terribly." In mid-2013, Wakeman presented a BBC One East Midlands-produced TV program about Lord and his connection to the town of his birth.
• Singer Anni-Frid Lyngstad (ABBA), who described Jon Lord as her "dearest friend", paid him tribute at the 2013 edition of Zermatt Unplugged, the annual music festival which both he and she served as patrons. "He was graceful, intelligent, polite, with a strong integrity," she said. "He had a strong empathy and a great deal of humor for his own and other people's weaknesses."
• Keyboardist Keith Emerson said of Lord's death, "Jon left us now but his music and inspiration will live forever. I am deeply saddened by his departure." In a later interview in November 2013, he added, "In the early years I remember being quite jealous of Jon Lord – may he rest in peace. In September 1969 I heard he was debuting his "Concerto For Group & Orchestra" at the Royal Albert Hall, with none other than Malcolm Arnold conducting. Wow! I had to go along and see that. Jon and I ribbed each other, we were pretty much pals, but I walked away and thought: 'Shit, in a couple of weeks' time I'm going to be recording The Nice's Five Bridges Suite … not at the Albert Hall but at the Fairfield Halls, Croydon!' A much more prosaic venue. Later, Jon wanted me to play on his solo album, Gemini Suite, but that was around the time ELP were breaking big and we were touring. He was a lovely guy, a real gentleman."
• A concert tribute to Lord took place on 4 April 2014 at the Royal Albert Hall. Performers and presenters included Deep Purple, Bruce Dickinson, Alfie Boe, Jeremy Irons, Joe Brown, Glenn Hughes, Miller Anderson and Steve Balsamo.
• In December 2012 the Mayor of Leicester, Sir Peter Soulsby, joined the campaign to honor Lord with a blue plaque at his childhood home at 120 Averill Road, where he lived until he was twenty, saying it would be "an important reminder of the city's contribution to the world of contemporary music."
• Lord was posthumously inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Deep Purple in April 2016

Levon Helm 4/2012
April 19, 2012 – Mark Lavon "Levon" Helm was born on May 26, 1940 in Elaine, Arkansas. Helm grew up in Turkey Scratch, a hamlet west of Helena, Arkansas. His parents, Nell and Diamond Helm, cotton farmers and also great lovers of music, encouraged their children to play and sing. Young Lavon (as he was christened) began playing the guitar at the age of eight and also played drums during his formative years. He saw Bill Monroe and His Blue Grass Boys at the age of six and decided then to become a musician.
Arkansas in the 1940s and 50s stood at the confluence of a variety of musical styles—blues, country and R&B—that later became known as rock and roll. Helm was influenced by all these styles, which he heard on the Grand Ole Opry on radio station WSM and R&B on radio station WLAC out of Nashville, Tennessee. He also saw traveling shows such as F.S. Walcott's Rabbit's Foot Minstrels that featured top African-American artists of the time. Continue reading Levon Helm 4/2012

June 25, 2009 – Sky Sunlight Saxon was born Richard Elvern Marsh in Salt Lake City, Utah on August 20, 1937. Different sources suggest a birth year of 1937, 1945 or 1946. His widow has said that his birthday was August 20, but would not confirm the year because he believed age was irrelevant. However, 1940 census records indicate he was born in Utah in 1937.

Joe Weaver 7/2006
July 5, 2006 – Joe Weaver was born on August 27th 1934 in Detroit, Michigan.
His best known recording was "Baby I Love You So" – 1955, and he was a founding member of both The Blue Note Orchestra and The Motor City Rhythm & Blues Pioneers. Over his lengthy but staggered career, Joe worked with various musicians including The Four Tops, Marvin Gaye, John Lee Hooker, Nathaniel Mayer, The Miracles, Martha Reeves, Nolan Strong & The Diablos, Andre Williams, Nancy Wilson, and Stevie Wonder. In addition, he was a session musician in the early days of Motown Records and played in the house band at Fortune Records. He was a key component in the 1950s Detroit R&B scene.
Weaver learned to play the piano from age nine. While at Northwestern High School he teamed up with fellow student Johnnie Bassett to form Joe Weaver and the Blue Notes.

Johnny Cash 9/2003
September 12, 2003 – J.R. "Johnny" Cash was born February 26, 1932 and became one of the most imposing and influential figures in post-World War II country music. With his deep, baritone and spare, percussive guitar, he had a basic, distinctive sound.
Although primarily remembered as a country music icon, his genre-spanning songs and sound embraced rock and roll, rockabilly, blues, folk, and gospel. This crossover appeal won Cash the rare honor of multiple inductions in the Country Music, Rock and Roll and Gospel Music Halls of Fame.
Born in Kingsland, Arkansas, he was given the name "J.R." because his parents could not agree on a name, only on initials. When he enlisted in the US Air Force, the military would not accept initials as his name, so he adopted John R. Cash as his legal name. Continue reading Johnny Cash 9/2003

I recently played the first few hours of the Dead Space remake, which comes out towards the end of the month, and it seemed like a good, faithful update. Square Enix RPG Forspoken is another big publisher game coming out at the end of January, and a One Piece game is on the way, but not much else on my radar. We're in a game release trough before the February swell, including Atomic Heart, Company of Heroes 3, Like a Dragon: Ishin!, and more.

Fewer school children would get to experience Muir Woods National Monument under budget cuts. Photo: Rocky A/Flickr.
Head out to one of the Bay Area's national parks this summer and, whether you notice it or not, those parks will be suffering from the Washington deficit debacle.
The $85.4 billion sequester, as it's called, erased 5.1 percent off the top of park budgets, which translates into fewer staff, reduced hours, less maintenance, and delayed projects this summer, said parks officials in the Bay Area. So don't expect pristine bathrooms, or a visitor's center to necessarily be open, or a ranger to be on hand to answer your wildlife questions.

The national park cutbacks come a year after the California state parks system faced its own crisis with threatened closures and diminishing funds. Nationwide, the Department of Interior is planning to shutter 128 of the country's 561 national wildlife refuges, in addition to an overall reduction in services.
The GGNRA plans to shave $1.3 million from its budget this summer, pending final approval, by leaving 30 permanent positions vacant and not filling 10-15 seasonal positions (roughly 12 percent of its total staff). School programs at Muir Woods National Monument will likely be cut, and the parks department is considering closing off some areas, such as shutting the gates to the parking lots of some beaches for several days a week to concentrate staff there on the weekends, Levitt said.
"Habitat restoration work in some areas will be delayed because we don't have the full team in place to complete the reviews in a timely way, so things will get bumped back as well," Levitt added.
At John Muir National Historic Site in Martinez, opening days will likely be reduced from seven to five because the park is losing two interpreters.

Like the rest of the national park system, the park honoring Muir's legacy is in trouble.
John Muir NHS shares management and a $3.1 million budget with three other parks. Eugene O'Neill National Historic Site, Port Chicago Naval Magazine National Memorial and Rosie the Riveter/World War II Home Front National Historic Park. Of those, Eugene O'Neill NHS will also likely scale back to five days a week. The budget cuts happen to impact John Muir and Eugene O'Neill harder because there were vacancies in those parks that cannot now be filled, by Washington directive.
Point Reyes National Seashore is looking to cut hours and opening days at its visitors centers, and the Point Reyes Lighthouse will be gated three days a week, pending final approval.
"People could still see the lighthouse from the observation at the top, but they couldn't access it," said John Dell'Osso, chief of interpretation at Point Reyes.
The Ken Patrick Visitors Center at Drakes Beach would be shuttered altogether, and the Bear Valley Visitors Center could drop a day. That's all to save $374,000 from Point Reyes' $7 million budget.
The budget cuts have hit Point Reyes' interpretive staff particularly hard because it can't fill seasonal employees.
Opening hours at the Point Reyes Lighthouse could be cut back by three days a week. Photo: Vicki and Chuck Rogers.
The park officials say they expect approvals for the cuts to go through in the late spring, in time for the summer travel season. If a solution in Washington doesn't appear by September 30, the start of the next fiscal year, deeper cuts are expected.
"We're entirely dependent on Congress for funding decisions, so we have to wait and see how all the budget discussions are completed and we will be affected by those outcomes," said Levitt of the GGNRA.
Parks staff is waiting with bated breath.

Coach Jim Sherman led the Blue Hens to the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2001.
Delaware baseball may have left the Lubbock regional with no wins in this weekend's NCAA tournament, but it was a memorable experience for the CAA champs nonetheless. Coach Jim Sherman wanted to make sure host Texas Tech and its fans knew just how much their hospitality meant to him and the team.
Sherman, who just finished up his 17th year at the helm, composed a thoughtful message addressed to Texas Tech that was shared on Twitter via Delaware baseball's account. In it, he outlines his appreciation for the passion and respect exuded from the home crowd.
"Lubbock, Texas will always hold a special place in my heart, because of this regional," Sherman said.
Despite Delaware's consecutive losses leading to their elimination, the Blue Hens treated the regional audience to two exciting games on Friday and Saturday. Delaware pitcher Ron Marinaccio gave the Blue Hens 6.1 gutsy innings of three-run ball in the opener against the Red Raiders — and received a standing ovation from the opposing crowd, as noted in Sherman's message — before Texas Tech ultimately won 5-2. On Saturday, Delaware battled defending national runner-up Arizona toe-to-toe before succumbing 6-5 in the 12th inning.
That 12-inning affair was made possible by a two-run rally in the ninth inning to tie it at five runs apiece.
Delaware's appearance in Lubbock marked the program's first trip to the NCAA tournament since 2001. Sherman and his players made sure to savor every moment of the Blue Hens' return.


OH my!! HOW cute! :) Congrats!!
Any time and thank you!
Ahh loved reading this! congrats on your little one! She looks lovely!
Congratulations on that cute little girl! Well look on the bright side--only one day a year for birthday parties-if they let you get away with it!
Yeah we are definitely only doing one party. Realistically, what crowd wants to come to two separate parties that close together anyway?
What a darling little girl! My little girl was born just a week before yours!
Congrats on your baby girl, as well!
She is beautiful and I love her name. So pretty. Thanks for sharing your story.
what a cutie! Congrats on the birth of your daughter!
aww so adorably cute. congratulations. she is a big and healthy baby.
Oh. That kid is quite a silly boy. He was completely oblivious to all that was about to happen.
Such a beautiful baby girl and has lots of hair. I remembered when I gave birth to my son 11 months ago. Birthing is such a wonderful experience. It's all worth the pain.
Oh she's pretty and really cute. Its not a bad thing if you induce Gabriels birthday if there is really something more important. But make sure you will give him a special time to fill those times that you are out. Great.
What a story! Yay for pushing being so easy this time around. And yay for pain medications!
She's adorable and look at all of that hair! Congrats to you and yours.
LOL. My closest friend, at six weeks pregnant, approached her OB and said, "Let's talk about my birth plan. When I get to the hospital, I want an epidural. Don't try and persuade me otherwise or ask me if I'm sure. I'm sure. Just give me it. When it comes time to push, don't be bossing me around, demanding I push this kid out. I don't respond well to that." She's quite funny, but she did get her epi and the politely asked her to push, if she wanted to, when the time came.
congratulations! You shouldn't feel bad about anything. As long as your baby is healthy, that's all that matters!


If you're retired or getting close to it, you're likely to have completely different investment objectives than younger people do. Instead of worrying about long-term growth and wealth creation, as you get older your focus gradually shifts toward income and capital preservation. And, while bonds can be great for income, the right kind of stocks allow your nest egg to grow and keep up with inflation while simultaneously producing a rising income stream. With that in mind, here are two stocks that are great examples of the type of investments that work well in senior citizens' portfolios.
Recession-resistant and strong competitive advantagesMany senior citizens are concerned (and rightly so) that, with the stock market hovering near all-time highs, a correction could be right around the corner.
And while there is no such thing as a completely crash-proof stock, Wal-Mart is pretty close. The company has a unique business model that allows it to prosper in good times and bad.
The general idea behind Wal-Mart's success is that by purchasing in high quantities from manufacturers and creating a low-frills shopping experience, the company is able to undercut its competitors while still maintaining an acceptable profit margin.
Wal-Mart has a loyal following of budget-conscious customers, and during good economic times, these customers have a growing amount of money to spend. On the other hand, consumers have less money to spend in bad economic times, but Wal-Mart's discounted one-stop-shop business model attracts more customers, who would typically shop at higher-end retailers.
The proof is in the numbers. During 2008, the S&P lost 37.6% of its value while Wal-Mart actually gained 19.5%. In fact, Wal-Mart's sales grew each and every year during the recession and its dividend continued to climb, as it has for 40 consecutive years.
As far as valuation goes, now may be a great time to get into Wal-Mart, as the stock is down 15% from its January highs, thanks to a combination of factors -- currency fluctuations, a disappointing earnings report, and increased labor cost stemming from the company's decision to raise its own minimum wage.
In fact, Wal-Mart trades for just 15.2 times TTM earnings, far below the 20.1 average of the S&P 500 and more attractive than Wal-Mart's own P/E in recent history, which had climbed as high as 18 earlier in 2015.
A great business model of growing, recurring incomeWhen you think of stable investments, real estate may not be the first thing that comes to mind, especially considering the craziness in the mortgage market that took place just a few years ago. However, the right kind of real estate investment trust, or REIT, could be a great way to achieve growing income and strong long-term returns, while at the same time providing you with peace of mind.
In the REIT space, my personal favorite is Realty Income , which invests primarily in free-standing retail properties. It buys properties in desirable locations, and then leases them to high-quality tenants, many of which are solid national brands like Walgreens and FedEx. Currently, the company owns more than 4,300 properties, spread out among 49 states and Puerto Rico.
There are a few reasons why Realty Income's business model makes it a stable choice for senior citizens. For starters, the company doesn't borrow too much money. Realty Income's debt (preferred stock included) stands at just 31% of the company's total capitalization. In other words, the company has virtually no risk of becoming "underwater" on its properties, no matter how bad things get economically.
Furthermore, Realty Income's tenants operate in 47 different industries, so the company wouldn't be too affected if say, electronics retailers suddenly took a turn for the worse. And, Realty Income's tenants are all on long term (10-20 year) "net" leases, which means that tenants pay property taxes, building insurance, and maintenance expenses. So, the long-term leases mean that tenant turnover is kept to a minimum, and the net leases reduce the company's vulnerability to fluctuating expenses.
The combination of long leases and desirable property locations has produced an impressive record of occupancy, which currently sits at 98.4%, and hasn't dipped below 96%, even during the financial crisis.
Finally, just like Wal-Mart, Realty Income is trading at somewhat of a "discount" thanks to economic factors beyond its control, such as the expectation of rising interest rates which shouldn't really have much of an impact on the company's bottom line since it doesn't borrow too much money. Shares are down 14% since late January, and trade for 17.6 times the company's 2015 FFO (funds from operations -- similar to a P/E multiple for REITs) projections, down from a multiple of about 20.3 just a few months ago.
Just a starting point ...These are just two of the many stocks that make excellent investments, even after retirement. However, the reasons given for these can be applied to other stocks -- manageable debt levels, consistently growing dividends, businesses that work well in good times and bad. Even though risk tolerance declines as investors age, quality stocks like these and others like them should still make up a significant part of a well-rounded investment portfolio.

More than thirty years ago I realised that I really had no idea how to live life well and, not knowing where to turn for answers, I began an intensive search. The first immensely fertile ground that I explored was the work of the Swiss psychiatrist, Carl Jung. In reading his work, I realised that what I really wanted to do with my was to help people. So, I went back to university and trained as a clinical psychologist. Many answers emerged, my life improved significantly and I went on to establish busy private practices both in Cape Town and, later, in Harley Street, London.
Coaching was one of those professions that had a more positive approach and it soon became a valuable part of my work. But, even with all of this, I still felt that my understanding was far from complete. This led me on a deep exploration of both western and eastern spiritual traditions. One of the many invaluable gifts that emerged from this was the experience of a much deeper mind – a mind that is peaceful, wise, and fundamentally happy.
Still the search continued and, in the late 1990's, I was drawn to explore the indigenous healing traditions. I trained as a Vision Quest Guide in the USA and later as a Doctor of Traditional African Medicine in Botswana. Despite the fact that I no longer practice in a traditional way, both of these experiences added much to the richness and scope of the work.
Now, after more than thirty years, I find that I am no longer searching. I continue to be curious – and I still very much enjoy learning – but it's not driven by a feeling that 'something is missing.' Instead there is a sense of a never ending deepening of the process.
In my work, I try to meet my clients where they are and to offer to them whatever I feel might be helpful to them. My approach has always been a pragmatic one and this often mitigates the need for endless therapy.
Today, I work mainly via the internet, helping both individuals and couples all over the world. I also have rooms in Cape Town where I see clients in-person.
Besides the work, I live a very rich and fortunate life with my wife, Trish, and our four teenage children in one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
In my early twenties, I majored in microbiology and worked in industrial chemistry, microbiology and medical biochemistry. This gave me a through grounding in both the usefulness and the limits of a scientific perspective.
This professional training in clinical psychology included instruction and supervision in various forms of therapy including Jungian-oriented therapy and couples counselling. My Master's thesis was on an understanding of wilderness experience from a Jungian point of view. Although I no longer practice as a clinical psychologist (preferring to call myself a transformational coach), much that I learned in this training remains very valuable.
This was a two-year post-graduate part-time training in a form of psychotherapy that integrates a spiritual perspective with more traditional psychotherapy.
This was an intensive year-long part-time training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy – a practical form of psychotherapy that is particularly useful in dealing with anxiety issues and depression.
This was a two-year post-graduate part-time advanced training in Transpersonal Psychotherapy – a form of psychotherapy that integrates a spiritual perspective with more traditional psychotherapy.
This is a year-long part-time training in psychotherapy supervision.
This is the two-part practitioner training in a form of psychotherapy (EMDR) that is extremely effective in putting any traumatic memory to rest. Most types of psychological difficulty are caused or precipitated by a trauma of some sort. Both of these trainings were with the originator of EMDR – Francine Shapiro.
Both EFT and Matrix Reimprinting use a combination of eastern medicine and western psychology to treat traumatic memories. Matrix Reimprinting is an extremely effective development of EFT. I was fortunate to train in both methods with the originator of Matrix Reimprinting – Karl Dawson.
Vision Quest Guide (Steven Foster and Meredith Little, School of Lost Borders, USA).
A vision quest is psychological and spiritual process during which people fast in a natural environment after careful preparation and under proper supervision. The vision quest is a very powerful ritual that is frequently life-transforming. I was very lucky to be trained in the USA by the late Steven Foster and Meredith Little, exceptional teachers in this tradition. Since then, I have run many vision quests both in Africa and in the UK.
This arduous training as a traditional healer took more than five years to complete. Although I no longer practice as an African healer, I have integrated much of what I learned from this training into my work.
All of this has been part of my search for the models, tools, insights and processes that have enabled me to work as effectively as I now do.

Adding Probiotics To Ice Cream Could Prolong Shelf Life and Attract Health-Conscious Consumers
Posted on: July 13, 2018 in News | Food Ingredients & Innovation News | Food Manufacturing & Supply Chain News | Food News | Grocery & Food Service News
By: Nima Rajan
Researchers from the University of Cartagena in Colombia have found a way to prolong the shelf life of ice cream products by 44 percent .
This recent study on ice cream ingredients and manufacturing is sure to make consumers and frozen dessert companies scream for ice cream. Researchers from the University of Cartagena in Colombia have found a way to prolong the shelf life of ice cream products by 44 percent by adding an extremely popular ingredient in the consumer space, probiotics.
The study, published in Contemporary Engineering Sciences, was targeted at developing a new and improved version of the popular frozen dessert by adding functionality to it. Although ice cream is a well-known treat to consumers, it is also considered a guilty pleasure to them because of its high sugar content and calories. This might be why Cartagena researchers wanted to make this treat even more appealing.
The scientists analyzed the microbiological stability and sensorial acceptance of Lactobacillus bulgaricus, a type of probiotic, in aloe vera ice cream before and after the ripening step. This ripening step involves refrigerating the ice cream for 24 hours at 4⁰C after mixing, pasteurization and homogenization. This step is done to firm up the ice cream and give it a smooth texture.
Three ice cream samples were examined: one with probiotics added to it before ripening, one with probiotics added after and one without any probiotics at all. Out of these three experiments, the one with probiotics added to it before the ripening process sustained its shelf life for 26 days, which was a longer period of time compared to the other two samples. This sample also had a higher acceptability for color, taste, flavor and texture. The sample that was not treated with any probiotics lasted for 18 days.
In addition to higher acceptability, the ice cream sample with probiotics added to it before ripening encouraged the growth of probiotic bacteria between 10 and 20 days of incubation. In contrast, the sample with probiotics added after ripening encouraged the maximum growth of bacteria after 15 days of incubation, and after 20 days the growth dropped significantly. According to the researchers, the sample with probiotics added to it before ripening encouraged more bacterial growth because of a neutral pH of 7.1 and a 0.2 percent concentration of lactic acid.
These findings could significantly impact the $59 billion US ice cream market in a positive way. Although the trajectory of the American ice cream market is expected to continue to grow to nearly $75 billion by 2024, adding an additional nutritional benefit to the product is likely to increase sales. In fact, food companies are already trying to capitalize on "healthy" ice cream products, especially after Halo Top's immense success in the US grocery industry. The top-selling ice cream brand is known to have a reduced sugar formulation with added protein and fewer calories compared to traditional ice cream products. Such qualities make this sweet treat the best of both worlds to consumers which is why competitors such as Target, Breyers, Nestlé and Coolway have developed similar products.
However, an ice cream product with additional benefits such as probiotics is sure to catch consumer attention. The coveted millennial demographic is known to actively look for probiotic-enriched food products. In fact, a recent national consumer survey found that 25 percent of American adults seek out probiotic and prebiotic rich foods and millennials have been found to be the top consumers for such products. In addition, food companies can also benefit from the fact that probiotics increase the shelf life of their ice cream products.
"The addition of probiotics promoted an increase in the shelf life of ice cream by 44 percent. The results found can bring both economic and public health benefits to the ice cream industries," the researchers wrote in the report.

Brainstorming and planning for a DNS-based pluggable transport.
Encode data in recursive DNS queries and responses. Your local recursive resolver sends your packets to the right place. A dns bridge would be an authoritative name server for a particular domain; users would configure a domain rather than an IP address in their Bridge lines. Tools already exist to do DNS tunneling, for example iodine and dnscat2. Probably requires a reliability layer and periodic polling by the client.
