Ben Harper And Charlie Musselwhite Release 'No Mercy In This Land'
Today, GRAMMY-Award winning artists BEN HARPER and CHARLIE MUSSELWHITE release their second collaborative album No Mercy in This Land, available NOW on ANTI-.
On Monday night, the pair made the national television debut of the album's latest single "The Bottle Wins Again" on The Late Late Show with James Corden – watch the performance HERE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xi9xwOBUeJw
Of the deeply personal track, Harper elaborates: "'The Bottle Wins Again' is a song about genetic and learned behavior. A song about traits inherited through the generations, blurring the actual choices one has, having a profound effect directly and indirectly on friends and loved ones. While alcohol is certainly a gateway drug, it's also a gateway to a lot more alcohol. My father was brilliant. He used to empty out popcorn tins, then number and stack paper plates in them. With his perfect penmanship, these numerous tins were his journals in which he would write musings, poetry, thoughts and ideas. He loved the way the plates stacked and were instantly organized. Alcoholism is the disease which rendered my childhood for the most part fatherless. In a one room apartment, surrounded by empty wild turkey bottles and paper plates, alcoholism would eventually kill my dad at age 55. Cirrhosis of the liver. A deafening echo of unrealized potential. I haven't had a drink in almost a year, and I've never felt better."
The record has already begun receiving critical acclaim:
· "Both artists approach the music from different perspectives, which makes this collaboration so vibrant. Harper's background in soul, folk, rock, gospel and funk, along with Musselwhite's darker edged swampy Chicago and Delta blues creates a swirling, simmering rootsy concoction that's organically charged." – AMERICAN SONGWRITER
· "Ben Harper has put in some work. He has had a long and substantive career giving releasing one quality album after another. Old fans love it and his work gathers new fans into the fold at every turn. Why? Because quality and honesty are hard to find. Sincerity and vision are a scarcity in a musical landscape littered with the benign and ordinary." – AMERICAN BLUES SCENE
· "Harper and Musselwhite sound as if they've been playing together for a lifetime; the songwriting and playing set 'No Mercy in This Land' in a category by itself, and it's not too early to say that this is one of the best albums of the year." – LIVING BLUES MAGAZINE
· "Through it all, the duo creates a thrilling performance that melds Harper's unique slide guitar with Musselwhite's signature harmonica along both of their purely soulful vocal deliveries." - BILLBOARD
In addition to critical praise and fan anticipation of the record's release, Ben & Charlie have discussed the album with CNN, ESPN SportsCenter, Forbes, Cheddar, SiriusXM, WTF with Marc Maron (airing April 12) and The Hollywood Reporter to shed more light on the project. On Wednesday night, the duo performed at the GRAMMY Museum after a Q&A with Scott Goldman, the museum's executive director. Their performance of "Found The One" on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert – originally aired on March 7 – will re-air on April 3 at 11:35/10:35c on CBS.
The duo will celebrate the release by kicking off their 40+ date international tour in San Francisco, CA tonight, with a sold out two-night run at The Fillmore before taking the trek overseas for a string of European dates prior to returning to North America in May.

It turns out the third time is not a charm.
Results of an MRI conducted today confirmed that Alessio Sakara (15-8 MMA, 6-5 UFC) has torn his ACL and will be out a minimum of six to eight months, a representative from American Top Team confirmed today with MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com).
The news spoils Sakara's bout with Jorge Rivera (19-8 MMA, 7-6 UFC), which was targeted for UFC 133 on Aug. 6 at Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia.
A search is underway for a replacement. Rivera first announced the news on "The MMA Hour."
It's the third time a scheduled bout between the middleweights has been sacked. The fighters first were supposed to meet at UFC 118 before Rivera broke his arm and was forced to withdraw. A second meeting was canceled when Sakara fell ill just hours before UFC 122.
With news of today's main-card cancellation, the matchup appears to be cursed.
ATT representative Dan Lambert said the injury occurred last week in training but was unaware of its cause.
Sakara had hoped to rebound from a unanimous-decision loss to late replacement Chris Weidman at UFC on Versus 3. Prior to the defeat, the Italian striker strung together consecutive wins over Joe Vedepo, Thales Leites and James Irvin.
Rivera's representatives at Alchemist Management told MMAjunkie.com the fighter will remain on the pay-per-view main card, though an opponent has not yet been confirmed. UFC 133 preliminary-card fighters Rafael "Sapo" Natal and Costantinos Philippou are among a handful of possibilities.
Rivera looks to rebound from a February loss to contender Michael Bisping. Rivera, who was slowed by an accidental low blow, waged a trash-talking campaign ahead of the UFC 127 co-headliner but ultimately suffered a second-round TKO defeat. Prior to the loss, he entered title contention with four victories in five UFC fights. Three of the victories (over Kendall Grove, Rob Kimmons and Nate Quarry) came via knockout.
The latest UFC 133 card now includes:
MAIN CARD (Pay-per-view)
- Rashad Evans vs. Tito Ortiz
- Yoshihiro Akiyama vs. Vitor Belfort
- Jorge Rivera vs. TBA
- Rory MacDonald vs. Mike Pyle
- Brian Ebersole vs. Dennis Hallman
PRELIMINARY CARD (Spike TV)
- Alexander Gustafsson vs. Matt Hamill
- Chad Mendes vs. Rani Yahya
PRELIMINARY CARD (Facebook)
- Ivan Menjivar vs. Nick Pace
- Johny Hendricks vs. Mike Pierce
- Mike Brown vs. Nam Phan
- Rafael "Sapo" Natal vs. Costantinos Philippou

Gov. Malloy starts face-to-face meetings in Norwalk Wednesday night
NORWALK -- Gov. Dannel P. Malloy is back on the road, holding another series of community forums.
Malloy and Lt. Gov. Nancy Wyman are launching their latest series of face-to-face meetings with residents on Wednesday in Norwalk. It is scheduled from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. at City Hall. People who want to ask a question should arrive early and add their names to a sign-up sheet.
The Democratic governor has scheduled such public meetings each year since he took office in 2011. He called the tradition "long overdue."
Last year, the governor fielded questions on topics such as gun control and state budget cuts. Another series focused on education reform.
Dates and locations for additional forums will be announced in the coming weeks. Events are planned throughout of the state.

First things first:
Put your wallet back in your pocket
If you're here for the "Need to Know" manual and a subscription to TalkBiz News, just put your name and email address in the form below and click the button. Then confirm your request, and you can download it immediately.
Otherwise, keep reading. I'm going to give you a copy of my 112-page book - free - that shows you what you really need to know to succeed online.
From: Paul Myers
Publisher of TalkBiz News
Come on in...
I've been publishing a newsletter for online business folk for 15 years now. And something is bothering me.
In those 15 years, I've seen a ton of people come into the game, work their butts off, and get much less than they'd hoped for from their efforts.
Some fail completely. Some have a bit of success, but get stuck at some point. They just can't seem to get past "the wall." Others make a lot of money, but find their lives consumed by their businesses, with no time for the things that are important to them.
Some people just don't know where to start, so they never get going at all.
Some folks see real success for a while, and then something changes in the market and they're back to zero. Just like that.
It makes me madder than you might believe to see people put into these kinds of positions. This just does not need to happen.
So... Why does it?
Think about it. There are tons of really good courses out there that explain the various tactics and techniques you can use to make money online. And it's not like most of them require any special talent to make them work.
So, why do so many people fall short of their goals? Why don't they get where they want to be?
Let's look at an example.
If you decided you wanted to take a trip from Georgia to Oregon, you wouldn't just "start walking." You could walk yourself to death and never get where you wanted to be. If someone suggested that as a strategy, you'd laugh at them.
But that's exactly how most people approach doing business online.
They don't know what they need to know to get where they want to be. So, they just... "start walking."
That rarely ends well.
If you're new to doing business online, I don't want to see you fall into that trap. If you've been at it a while and are in the hole, I want to show you a way out.
And no, this one isn't going to cost you anything.
Sure, you'll have to spend some money and some time to get to whatever you want from doing business online. Anyone who tells you it's going to be instant and effortless is lying to you.
We'd all like to believe it works that way, but, in our hearts, we know better.
The good news is that, once you know what you really need to know, it can happen more quickly and more powerfully than you probably think. Over the years, I've seen some truly amazing things happen - for people who knew how to go after it.
That's what I want to show you. How to go after it with a much better chance of getting what you really want for your efforts. I want to tell you what you really...
As a Christmas gift for the folks who get my newsletter, I put together the most important lessons I've learned in 15 years of doing business on the Internet. Many of them apply to almost everything you do in life, but online business is what people signed up to hear about. So, that's what they got.
I call the book, "Need to Know."
It started out as an e-course, but ended up being a PDF that weighs in at 112 pages of some of the most concentrated information you'll find on the subject, all in one place.
When I released it, the feedback was immediate and very solid. A few of the comments I received...
- Ed Dale, who's made millions online, read it and posted to his blog that, "This one is a must for any online marketer."
- When Paul Hartunian (one of the world's leading experts in using publicity to generate business) finished it, he sent me an email with the subject line, "Damn it, Myers." He complimented what he called the "brilliant writing" and "crystal clear insights," and then artfully cursed me for making him think too much.
- Mark Joyner, best selling author and one of the pioneers of online marketing, sent me a note that said, "This may be the densest summary of what one has to do to actually make money on the internet I've ever read. No gimmicky fads. No rehashing of old information with a new title. Just a solid, short, summary of what you need to do, respectfully told."
- Allen Says, founder of the Warrior Forum, commented, "Love it! A lot of stuff people desperately need to hear, and some stuff they will definitely want to hear."
Them ain't newbies, boys and girls. Those guys know how to build an online business. And there were a lot more.
None of this stuff is "secret." You've probably seen some of it referred to in one place or another. There's no hidden conspiracy to keep it from you. The problem is, most of the people who know it take it for granted. They assume that anyone who's thinking about business will understand it.
The few who sell this information normally charge big money to explain it at private seminars. And it's important enough to be well worth the fees they get.
It is not any kind of exaggeration to say that I could easily have taken the information in Chapter Two alone and turned it into a $97 ebook, or a $499 physical product or teleseminar course. It wouldn't have taken more than a couple of weeks to do that.
I'm telling you this so you don't treat this book like most people treat things they get for free.
Please... Do not just download it and leave it sitting on your hard drive, unread. There's too much to gain from reading it and using what you learn.
Besides, parts of it are really funny. (If you don't laugh out loud at the wombat story, you need a humor transplant. Seriously.)
Along with the book, you're going to get a free subscription to my email newsletter, TalkBiz News. That includes product recommendations, news of important changes and trends in the marketplace, full-length articles to help you build your business, and my world famous rants and ramblings. Much of what you'll read in this book originally appeared in the newsletter.
It will make you laugh, it will make you think, and it will make you money.
If you want to know more about what's in the book, keep reading. If you already know you want the book and the newsletter, just put your email address in the form below and click the button.
You'll get an email shortly after that, with the subject line, "TalkBiz News - Please confirm your subscription." Open that email, click the link in it, and you'll get the download information for the book within a few minutes.
Note: If you use a webmail service like Yahoo, Hotmail or Gmail, you may need to be patient, and check your bulk folder. They do their best to keep spam out, but they sometimes catch legit email along with it.
Instead of going through a salesletter style explanation, I'll just give you the table of contents and a basic description of what's in each chapter....
Chapter 0: The Starting Point - Becoming Unstoppable : This chapter will show you how to create an unstoppable motivation, which forces you to focus on your goal and to take continuous action toward achieving it.
This is probably very different from anything you've read on the subject before. There is absolutely no "positive thinking" or "rah-rah" stuff in it. And I don't assume anything about what your goal is. That's your business. I just show you how to tap into the motivation that already makes you do what you do, to strengthen and redirect it.
This is the single most important chapter in the book. And it applies to every area of your life, and anything you want to be, do or get.
- Chapter 1: The 5 Things it Takes to Succeed Online : Your product, site and traffic are the first three. You may find yourself thinking about them differently by the time you're done with this chapter. The fourth and fifth are the hard parts. Well, they used to be.
- Chapter 2: The 7 Things You Must Include in Everything You do Online : There are 7 primary things that control the growth of your business. This chapter explains what they are, and how to hook them together to gain maximum leverage and make things happen a lot more quickly.
If you already have an online business that's making some money, this chapter could be all you need to get it flying.
- Chapter 3: Cover Your Assets : It's important to know your assets and your resources, and to build both. By the time you finish this chapter (assuming you do the work it asks for), you'll have a much clearer idea of where you stand and what you've got to work with. There's probably a lot more there than you think.
- Chapter 4: Become a "Model" Citizen : This chapter includes a very different take on the concept of what a business model is, and how to choose one. It also slaps around some stupid myths that can keep you from putting things in high gear.
It also points out a belief that many people have that almost guarantees they'll never make enough money online to enjoy the lifestyle they want. The thing that scares me about that belief is the sheer number of people who hold it and don't even know.
- Chapter 5: Revenge of the Psycho-Billy Cadillac : This one explains what I call "The Project Process." It's a simple approach to learning and earning at the same time. I highly recommend it for people with relatively little experience, but useful skills.
- Chapter 6: Gimmick, Toy or Tool? : This chapter explains the single biggest trap for folks new to the game. This one thing kills more fledgling businesses than anything except lack of effort. After looking closely at it, we'll show you how to turn it around and make it one of your strong points.
- Chapter 7: Of Wombats and Men : One of the funniest things I've ever written, and an important message about the ability to communicate clearly. It also offers an excellent cure for perfectionism.
There is also a tweak to the product creation process in here that can get some of you moving a lot faster than you are right now. It's incredibly simple, and almost no-one ever thinks of it.
- Chapter 8: The Most Important Skill : There is one skill that determines how well anything you do online will produce: Listening.
The trick is knowing how to listen, and who to listen to. You'll find that, and more, in this chapter.
- Chapter 9: "Where's the Party?" : You've probably heard the phrase, "People don't buy features. They buy benefits." Unfortunately, even the folks preaching that can't usually explain the difference in ways that most folks can understand at a gut level.
By the time you're done with this chapter, you'll understand that critical difference better than most sales trainers. And that can make all the difference in the world to your bottom line.
- Chapter 10: Winning The Content Contest : "Content is King." I've heard that phrase so many times over the years from people who don't understand the purpose of content that I'm ready to puke.
Here's a clue to what you're going to learn with this chapter: Content is a vehicle. Impact is king.
- Chapter 11: Are You THAT Boring? : Big time argument that raged for years: "How long should me email/article/book/report/video/whatever be?" Everyone who hears it has an opinion on the subject.
Almost every one of those opinions is wrong.
- Chapter 12: How to be Interesting in Print : A very basic primer in writing compelling content. If you learn and follow just these few simple steps, you'll be years ahead of most people in the business.
This one is short, and different from most writing guides you'll encounter. For one thing, it's based on dealing with real people. Not grammar cops.
- Chapter 13: The "THUD!" Factor : This is based on another old cliche. The idea that perceived value is important to sales. That's all well and good, but it doesn't show you how to improve either perceived or delivered value. That's the focus of this chapter. Complete with a checklist you can use for every product or promotion you create.
If you want to develop loyal customers and develop a reputation for over-delivering, spend some extra time with this one.
- Chapter 14: The World is Your Playground : I'm not going to spoil the surprise with this one. I will tell you, though, that it presents one of the very best ways there is to learn this business (and a lot of other things) in a fun, low-stress process.
- Chapter 15: Ramp it Up! : This is the key that ties it all together and makes the effort really pay off. Taking something that works in small ways and scaling it up into something that works BIG.
The information in this chapter is useful mostly to folks who want to build empires, not the people who want to make a few extra bucks, or who are in it purely for th fun of the thing.
If you're looking for an empire, you need to put a lot of focus on this one and on Chapter Two. They're the keys to that doorway.
That doesn't begin to cover everything in the book, of course. The thing is over 100 pages long. That list will, however, give you a quick idea of what you're going to find in those pages.
The most important thing to understand is that all of the sections of the book represent parts of your business, and they all connect to each other. The more parts you use, the better your odds of success, and the bigger that success can become.
Your subscription to TalkBiz News will add to that, giving you more of these kinds of perspectives, and pointers to the tools that can make things happen (or just happen more easily). It will also keep you up to date on what's going on in the crazy, chaotic and fun world of online marketing.
Like I said earlier, I'm not promising you'll make any money at all just by reading the thing. I don't know you, your skills, your market, or any of the things I'd need to know to even make a wild-assed guess. I can definitely say that there are some serious mistakes that you'll be much less likely to make just from having read it.
If all I accomplish with the book is helping you to avoid the stress of those mistakes, it will have been worth doing. I believe, though, that you can do much more than that. If you apply what I'm going to show you.
Not to mention that having this kind of clarity about what you're doing will probably save you from wasting thousands of dollars on stuff that isn't going to do you any good in the long run. That alone is worth the time spent reading it...
To get started, just put your email address in the form below and click the button.
As I mentioned above, you'll get an email shortly after that, with the subject line, "TalkBiz News - Please confirm your subscription." Open that email, click the link in it, and you'll get the download information for the book within a few minutes.
Note: If you use a webmail service like Yahoo, Hotmail or Gmail, you may need to be patient, and check your bulk folder. They do their best to keep spam out, but they sometimes catch legit email along with it. (Cut them some slack on that. Fighting spam is a lot trickier than most people know...).
Thanks for reading this far. And enjoy the book!

New Canaan woman allegedly left infant in hot car to go shoe shopping
NEW CANAAN — A 34-year-old New Canaan woman was charged after she allegedly left her infant in a hot car while she went shoe hopping on Elm Street.
On July 18 around 4 p.m., local police and EMS responded to Elm Street on a report that an 11-week-old child had been left in an unoccupied Chevrolet Suburban. When officers arrived, they found Kathryn Ferguson, of Weed Street, in the driver's seat of the car with the air conditioning on, holding the child. The baby's face was flushed red and its hair was matted down with sweat.
Police said Ferguson seemed calm and said she left the baby alone in the car for around 10 minutes while she shopped.
According to the arrest warrant, however, officers determined the child was left in the vehicle, which was turned off and had its windows closed, for around 48 minutes in 85 degree weather. During that time, Ferguson went to Shoes 'N' More where she bought two pairs of shoes and then went to get a mint lemonade at Le Pain Quotidien.
When Ferguson returned, she found the baby "screaming crying" and called 911 herself to have someone check on the child, according to the warrant. She still had her mint lemonade on her when emergency services arrived.
Ferguson and the infant were put inside the ambulance to cool down. The baby was eventually brought to Norwalk Hospital for evaluation and medically cleared.
New Canaan Police notified the state Department of Children and Families about the incident. When the police informed Ferguson and her husband, Matthew, they would be contacting DCF, "Matthew Ferguson stated 'think about it' multiple times, according to the warrant.
According to the warrant, the Ferguson's have a nanny that watches their older children. Kathryn Ferguson, who needed to run errands, decided to take the baby with her. She said the 11-week-old was quiet and asleep, so she forgot the child was in the car.
During the police investigation, officers determined the child was left in the vehicle, which was turned off and had its windows closed, for around 48 minutes. According to Ferguson's warrant, the officer on scene checked the spot where the child's rear-facing car seat was positioned behind the driver's seat and saw the child was directly in the sunlight. At the time of the incident, the Weather Channel indicated it was 85 degrees outside, but felt like 90 degrees and humidity was at 58 percent.
After speaking with shop employees in the area and reviewing video footage, police applied for a warrant for Ferguson, charging her with risk of injury to a child.
On Aug. 11 around 3 p.m., Ferguson turned herself in to New Canaan Police. She posted a $20,000 bond and is due in court Aug. 22.

Today's Birthdays: September 10
September 10
Sir John Soane
1753–1837, English architect.
After study with George Dance, the younger, he won a fellowship to Rome. He toured Italy and returned in 1780 to begin his practice in England. In 1788 he was chosen to succeed Sir Robert Taylor as architect for the Bank of England, his largest and most important work. Among other works are the Dulwich Picture Gallery, Pitzhanger Manor at Ealing, and his own residence at Lincoln's Inn Fields, now known as the Soane Museum, which he bequeathed as a museum for his collections. He devoted his later years to teaching architecture and delivering lectures. Although one of the leaders of the classic revival in England, he went beyond the mere imitation of classical models generally prevalent and evolved a highly individual style through an imaginative and flexible use of Greek and Roman motifs. He became a member of the Royal Academy of Arts in 1802 and was knighted in 1831.
See studies by John Summerson (1952), Pierre Du Prey (2 vol., 1977-82), and Dorothy Stroud (1984).

Caramel Apple Photo Shoot
During the 2011 Apple Season a good friend of ours, Cory of Friends in Photography, made multiple trips out to our orchard to take pictures for a photo story of the orchard. Over the next few weeks I'm going to give you glimpses as some of these pictures and hopefully help 'tell you the story' of how things are done around the orchard.
Step 1: Set up.
We pre-heat the caramel in an insulated box that Jared created that utilizes the same hot water we use to heat our house from our wood stove. It works so well and saves us a lot of timing heating the caramel to the perfect temperature. Before we start making the caramel apples we get everything all set up so our process runs as smoothly as possible. We don't start caramel apple-ing typically until our girls are in bed…but as you can see – Pip wasn't quite as cooperative as the older two. So we set up the apples – stems up for Jared (or whomever) to poke the sticks into, caramel simmering, commercial size baking sheets out and sprayed (we use two), nuts out, and empty trays ready. Step 2: Sticking
Jared can put the sticks in with his bare hands but most of us need something between the stick and our palm like a brace or wrist guard. Step 3: Dipping
Once everything's set up, the apples are 'stuck' and the caramel is at the perfect temperature and consistency the dipping begins. Jared is by far the most efficient dipper in the family. He is constantly going and has the timing down perfectly. You did the number of caramel apples you think you can get through before it's time to nut them. We put them on the first tray to cool and have the excess caramel drip off. Step 4: Nutting & Plains
At the perfect time – when the caramel is cool – but not cool it's time for nutting. If you do this step too soon you have a sticky mess. If you wait too long – it's really hard to get the nuts to stick. When I do the apple dipping I can usually dip about 5 to 5 apples before I have to start nutting. Jared can do about 10 to 12 – much more efficient. You can also see that Jared is excellent at covering the ENTIRE apple with nuts!
The larger apples on the first tray go to the second tray for further cooling. These will be plain caramel apples. If we package them before they've cooled off the caramel tends to stick in the package instead of onto the apple. Our goal is to make the perfect caramel apple so you keep coming back – again and again, year after year to enjoy one of those delicious treats. Step 5: Packaging
Once the caramel apples are nutted or cool enough we place them in the clam shells. These lay out flat and then snap together once the apple is placed. Step 6: Labeling
Next – we close our clam shells up with our label. This tells you what you're buying, who made it (Lapacek's Orchard LLC) and the ingredients that can be found in it. We used to staple all our packages shut but we've found this works much better and eliminates a step.
Step 7: Eating and Enjoying
The final step to the process is to see our customers eating and enjoying their very own, delicious, huge caramel apple. They're so good they even made the magazine 'Splash' as a local food favorite.

For starters, Wrapped will be exclusively available on mobile for Spotify users, while a web experience will offer a version of Wrapped for non-Spotify users for the first time.
Parscale said he advised the president to show public empathy during COVID-19, but Trump chose a different path.
'The Voice' Season 19 just went live this week, but it's already nearly over.
Ben Falcone and Melissa McCarthy, who must get along pretty well for how often they work together, have found yet another project: According to Deadline, they'll be starring in God's Favorite Idiot, a new Netflix comedy series created by Falcone and directed by Brooklyn Nine-Nine's Michael McDonald that already has a 16-episode series order from the streaming service. In the vein of The Good Place or Miracle Workers or God Friended Me, God's Favorite Idiot is a high-concept workplace comedy about "a midlevel tech-support employee" (Falcone) who falls in love with a coworker (McCarthy) "at exactly the same time he becomes the unwitting messenger of God." Deadline says there's also "rollerskating, a lack of fire, and an impending apocalypse"—a.k.a. some kind of season-long arc that will explain why Falcone's character can talk to God. Or maybe it's not really God? That would be a fun twist.


text: Originally published in 1939, when A.A. membership numbered about one hundred, Alcoholics Anonymous has steadily grown in readership. By the time the second edition appeared in 1955, membership had reached over 15,000, and the Big Book, A.A. members' fond title for their basic text, had reached a distribution of more than 300,000. At the time of the third edition, in March 1976, the worldwide membership of A.A. was estimated at 1 million or more. The basic text, pages 1-164, which had been the foundation of recovery for so many alcoholics remained, and still remains, unchanged. The General Service Conference-approved fourth edition of Alcoholics Anonymous was first printed in October 2001 and has been reprinted 30 times since then. This edition includes 24 new stories that provide contemporary sharing for newcomers seeking recovery from alcoholism in A.A. during the early decades of the 21st century. Sixteen stories are retained from the third edition, including the "Pioneers of A.A." section, which helps the reader remain linked to A.A.'s historic roots and shows how alcoholics get sober today. More than 30 million copies of the first four editions of the Big Book have been distributed. This is the only A.A.W.S.-authorized e-book version of Alcoholics Anonymous.

Configuring Redis Store for Rails 2.3.x
Posted on 05/23/2012
I wanted to use Redis as the cache store for a Rails 2.3.8 app. After a little shopping around, I settled on RedisStore as the cache adapter. I following the configuration directions on the RedisStore website and restarted the app, expecting everything to be hunky-dory. Instead, I was kicked in the face with this:
uninitialized constant ActiveSupport::Cache::RedisStore
My redis-store configuration looked like this:
redis_config = YAML.load_file(RAILS_ROOT + '/config/redis.yml')[RAILS_ENV]
config.cache_store = :redis_store, redis_config
I took another look at the config instructions and realized I was using the Rails 3.x setup. Following the 2.x instructions, I updated the configuration to look like this:
redis_config = YAML.load_file(RAILS_ROOT + '/config/redis.yml')[RAILS_ENV]
config.gem 'redis-store'
config.cache_store = :redis_store, redis_config
After restarting the app, I was still seeing the same
uninitialized constant error. Finally, a bit more googling revealed that v1.1.0 of redis-store didn't jive with Rails 2.3.8. Evidently what I needed was v220.127.116.11. I'm not sure why it's v18.104.22.168 and not v1.0.1, but I checked rubygems.org and saw that v1.0.0 was yanked for some reason.
Anyway, so I updated my Gemfile to specify version v220.127.116.11 of redis-store and bam! The app starts up without yelling at me. Good stuff. Or so I thought.
Everything was hunky-dory in my local development environment, but when I started testing in our staging environment, something was up. Our staging environment consists of two app servers, one of which has the Redis instance running on it.
Attempts to connect to Redis repeated failed with an "unable to connect" error on one web server, but not the other. Examining the redis connection, it was clear that the app was trying to access Redis via localhost, the default when no valid connection options were supplied. This explained why it worked on one app server and not the other, since Redis was in fact running locally on one of them.
A little console debugging demonstrated that the redis config expected a hash with symbol keys, whereas the config hash loaded from the yaml file had string keys.
config.cache_store = :redis_store, redis_config.symbolize_keys
Updating the redis-store config to symbolize the keys allowed the connection to be properly created, and everything was working as intended.

SPARKS, Nev. (AP) — A Nevada seventh-grader who went on a deadly schoolyard shooting rampage had images of the Columbine gunmen on his cellphone and told a therapist three days before the October attack that classmates were teasing him, authorities said Tuesday.
But Jose Reyes, 12, gave contradictory accounts in two suicide notes about whether he was acting out of revenge when he opened fire at Sparks Middle School, killing a teacher and wounding two boys before turning the gun on himself, Sparks Police Chief Brian Allen said.
Allen released a 1,300-page report detailing the investigation into the shooting. He also announced at a news conference that no charges will be brought against the parents of the boy, who brought the semi-automatic handgun from home.
While detectives found instances where Reyes might have been teased or mistreated by other students, there wasn't enough evidence to merit bullying charges, Allen said.
Reyes wrestled with speech problems since kindergarten and felt inadequate with his family, police said. He also recently had been prescribed an antidepressant and had shown some signs of autism.
The youth offered conflicting motives in two handwritten suicide notes.
In one to teachers and students, Reyes "clearly expressed anger" over his belief that he was embarrassed and mistreated at school, and he "indicated he would get revenge," Allen said of the boy who was a voracious player of violent video games.
In a second note specifically to his parents, Reyes suggested the rampage "was not a result of shooting games or bullying," the police chief said.
Both notes alluded to the fact that "his life would end in the process."
Police learned one of the students Reyes shot had teased him about not having muscles during a physical education class. Other students called Reyes names and accused him of wetting his pants after they poured water on him.
Allen included a message to students during the news conference: "Be nice. Be kind. Treat your fellow students with respect. We're all a little different. It matters."
According to the report, three days before the shooting, Reyes' father took him to a psychotherapist, who said the boy showed signs of a depressive disorder. Reyes had a generic form of the antidepressant Prozac in his system at the time of his death, police said.
The boy told the doctor he was being harassed and called names at school.
Investigators said Reyes had images on his phone of the two teens who committed suicide after killing 13 at Colorado's Columbine High School in 1999. They also found searches on the Reyes' family laptop for "Super Columbine Massacre Role Playing Game."
Forty-seven of the 69 video games in the boy's collection were "violent-themed, first-person shooter or shooter-type games" such as "Grand Theft Auto V," ''Assassins Creed" and "Call of Duty 4," police said.
Police earlier said Reyes' parents could be charged if they knowingly made the 9 mm pistol available to the boy. But Allen said Tuesday the investigation turned up no evidence that Jose and Liliana Reyes were aware that their son knew where the 9 mm pistol was kept in a kitchen cabinet.
Ken Robison, a Reno lawyer for the parents, said prosecutors indicated to him earlier they would not be charged, but Tuesday's announcement brought a "sense of relief."
"Hopefully for the Reyes family there's closure and they can proceed with their healing," he told The Associated Press.

Tuesday 31 January, 2012 - 8:49
In December 2011, the Charities Aid Foundation (CAF UK) released the second edition of a world survey on giving and voluntarism. The 'World Giving Index 2011' shows that the United States of America is the most charitable country, while Ireland is ranked second and Australia third. This Index is the most globally inclusive study into altruistic behaviour, covering 153 countries. The report shows that the world has become a more generous place over the last 12 months – with a two percent increase in the global population 'helping a stranger' and a one percent increase in people volunteering. However, the worldwide financial turmoil is almost certainly the reason that percent fewer people have given money to a nonprofit or charitable organisation in 2011.
South Africa is not favourably ranked in this study, as we are placed 108 out of the 153 countries surveyed. This ranking seems to contradict a 2005 national study on giving (the most recent in-depth national research available) which suggested that SA is a 'Nation of Givers', and that a potential 93 percent of respondents gave either money, time or in-kind contributions.
Giving behaviours are complex social phenomena, particularly in multicultural and increasingly inequitous SA, and therefore notoriously difficult to quantify accurately. For example, if we consider various estimates of the national rate of volunteering: the 2011 World Giving Index reports a South African volunteering rate of 14 percent, the 'Nation of Givers' study reported that 17 percent of South Africans volunteer, while the new Statistics SA volunteering survey calculates a volunteering rate of only 3.5 percent of the working age population.
The Stats SA study has been criticised for failing to survey the particular giving behaviours that take place within poor communities. In addition, the Stats SA study overlooked the substantial contributions made through employee community involvement – the corporate-sponsored contributions of working people.
Susan Wilkinson-Maphosa's respected indigenous research into giving in SA and the region has revealed the rich and long-established traditions in philanthropy that exist. (Susan Wilkinson-Maphosa 'The Poor Philanthropist')
Because the term 'philanthropy' is not universally popular with Africans, and does not capture the range of nuances of giving which exist, an emerging body of literature on philanthropy in Africa uses the terms 'help, solidarity or philanthropy of community'. This refers to giving by many, particularly the marginalised or the poor, to other poor individuals of their community.
Among African communities in which there is a strong religious presence; Christianity, Islam, and Hindus, all subscribe to beliefs that prescribe helping individuals who are less fortunate. This has been recognised by some African states (for example Kenya in the 1960s) as a means of mobilising communities to pool resources for local development. It may be that South Africa could adopt this model to augment established local economic development initiatives. In addition to the potential increase in development resources, this model of community development should increase social cohesion and/or social capital. As a proven indicator of social cohesion, social capital is increasingly viewed (by socio-economic analysts) as one of the preconditions for democracy and development.
Another critical area of South African giving which would not be revealed through the Gallup Poll data, are the myriad independent foundations established by wealthy South Africans. In addition to foundations established by liberal white people under apartheid, since the 1994 democratic elections a growing number of newly-wealthy black Africans are practicing various forms of organised philanthropy. Much of this giving takes place privately, without publicity, and for the benefit of rural home communities.
In order to provide a current and reliable basis for national policy and planning it is imperative that we have new studies to quantify and understand South African giving behaviours. For example, recent Australian research revealed that over Aus$ 20 million (R160 million) per annum is contributed through payroll giving by 11 million employed Australians. Here in South Africa, we unfortunately do not have regular measuring of the scale and value of employee community involvement. For example, according to Stats SA there are 13 million employed people in South Africa. This is a significant, largely untapped and definitely overlooked collective resource for development. The latest edition of the prestigious CSI Handbook estimates that 76 percent of South African corporates support some form of employee involvement (up from 63 percent in 2008). But currently only an estimated 22 percent of companies support payroll giving - which at this stage has the most likely developmental potential. More work is necessary to establish payroll giving as an accepted aspect of corporate social responsibility and concomitant development resource.
CAF Southern Africa is currently fundraising to conduct a national study on individual giving and voluntarism, with a specific focus on employee contributions. Our study will be undertaken by well-regarded local researchers and will use innovative and culturally-sensitive instruments to measure and analyse the entire spectrum of uniquely South African practices of giving and volunteering. As a highly unequal developing economy, we need this information in order to influence the policy environment, promote giving behaviours, improve impact and link 'philanthropic' resources to processes of economic advancement and positive social change.

Colonoscopy is a procedure that lets your health care provider check the inside of your entire large intestine or colon.
The procedure is done using a long, flexible tube (a colonoscope). The tube has a light and tiny camera on one end. It is put in your rectum and moved into your colon.
In addition to letting your provider see the inside of your colon, the tube can be used to:
During a colonoscopy, your provider may remove tissue or abnormal growths (polyps) for further examination. He or she may also be able to treat any problems that are found.
The large intestine or colon is the last section of your digestive system. It absorbs water to change waste from liquid to solid stool. The large intestine is about 5 feet long in adults. It has 4 sections:
The rectum joins the anus. This is the opening where stool passes out of your body.
Colonoscopy can help your provider look for problems in your colon. These include any early signs of cancer, red or swollen (inflamed) tissue, open sores (ulcers), and bleeding.
Colonoscopy is also used to screen for colorectal cancer. Screening means looking for cancer in people who don't have any symptoms of the disease.
A colonoscopy may be used to check and if needed treat things such as:
It may also be used to find the cause of unexplained, long-term (chronic) diarrhea or bleeding in the GI tract (gastrointestinal tract). It can also be used to check the colon after cancer treatment.
Colonoscopy may be used when other tests (such as a barium enema or sigmoidoscopy) show the need for more testing.
Your health care provider may have other reasons to recommend a colonoscopy.
As with any invasive procedure, complications may occur. Complications related to colonoscopy include, but are not limited to:
You may have other risks, depending on your condition. Be sure to discuss any concerns with your provider before the procedure.
You may have a colonoscopy as an outpatient or as part of your stay in a hospital. The way the test is done may vary depending on your condition and your health care provider's practices.
Generally, the colonoscopy follows this process:
After the procedure, you will be taken to the recovery room to be watched. Your recovery process will depend on the type of sedative you had. Once your blood pressure, pulse, and breathing are stable and you are awake and alert, you will be taken to your hospital room. Or you may be discharged to your home.
You may be asked to not eat for a few hours. You may also need to avoid high-fiber foods for the first 24 hours after the procedure.
You may pass gas (be flatulent) and feel gas pains after the procedure. This is normal. Walking and moving about may help to ease any mild pain.
You should not drink alcohol for at least 24 hours. You may be asked to drink extra fluids to make up for the water you lost as you got ready for the procedure.
Tell your provider if you have any of the following:
Your health care provider may give you other instructions, depending on your situation.
Before you agree to the test or the procedure make sure you know:

Topic: Legacy of the Force: Bloodlines.
Has anyone seen this yet?
[Female Voice]:
Atzari system
Ten standard years after the Yuuzhan Vong War
Slave I in pursuit of prisoner Habuk
Boba Fett's private record
"What ever they're paying you, Fett, I'll double it!"
[Boba Fett]:
says the voice on the commlink. They say that a lot. They just don't understand the nature of a contract. This time it's an Atzari glitterstim dealer called Habuk, who's overstepped the mark of the Trader's Commission to the tune of four hundred thousand credits.
"A contract's a contract," I tell him. Slave I is close enough on his tail to give me a visual on him. I swear he's flying an old C95 Headhunter. No hyperdrive, or he'd jumped for it by now. And no wonder he's surprised. An old Firespray like Slave I shouldn't be able to catch him on sublight drive alone. I've fitted a few more, uh, extras recently. The only completely original part of Slave I now is the seat I'm in.
"My laser cannon's armed."
[Boba Fett]:
says Habuk, breathless.
"Good for you. The galaxy's a dangerous place." The Headhunter executes a deep turn to port with it's aft maneuvering jets and Slave's laser locks onto the Headhunter's drive signature, matching it's turns and loops with no need for guidance from me. His engine flares in a ball of white light. The fighter begins an uncontrolled roll and I have to gun it to get a tractor beam locked on and haul Habuk in.
Grab arms make a satisfying ka-chunk against the Headhunter's airframe as I secure the fighter against the casing above Slave I's torpedo launcher. Habuk is making the noises of panic and pleading that I hardly notice these days. Some prisoners are defiant, but most give into fear. He makes me offers all the way back to Atzari, promising anything to survive.
"I can pay you millions!"
[Boba Fett]:
The contract is to deliver him alive. It's very specific.
"And my stockholdings in Kuat Drive Yards!"
[Boba Fett]:
I think it's the silent routine that gets to them in the end.
"Fett, I have a beautiful daughter."
[Boba Fett]:
He shouldn't have said that. Now I'm angry. I don't often get angry.
"Never use your kids, scumbag, Never."
Landing on Atzari's a little tricky when you're holding a crippled fighter on your upper works. I set Slave I down on the landing strip, lowering it gently on the thrusters, feeling the aft section vibrating under the load. And I have an audience.
The coalition wants to show they can hire the best to hunt down anyone who crosses them. I oblige. A bit of theater, public relations. Like Mandalorian armor, it makes the point without a shot needing to be fired. I walk along Slave I's casing to clambor up onto the Headhunter's fusilage and crack open it's canopy seal with a laser housed in my wrist gauntlet. So I hit Habuk harder than I need to, and haul him out of the cockpit to rapel down ten meters to ground of the landing with him. It hurts deep in my stomach. I don't let anyone see that.
Then I deposit the man on the landing strip in front of the men he owes four hundred thousand credits. It makes the point. I like making points. Presentation is half the battle.
"Want to keep the starfighter, too?"
[Boba Fett]:
asked the customer.
"Not my taste."
The spaceport utility loader comes to remove it from Slave I. I hold out my palm.
"I want the rest of my fee."
He hands me the outstanding two hundred and fifty thousand credits on a verified chip.
"Why do you still do this, Fett?"
[Boba Fett]:
"Because people still ask me."
It's a good question. I ponder it while I sit back in the cockpit, catch up on the financial headlines on the holonet news as Slave I heads for Kamino on autopilot. My doctor is meeting me there. He doesn't like the long journey, but I don't pay him to be happy.
Now I find I'm thinking of a daughter. Ailyn. Who I haven't seen in fifty years, wondering if she's still alive. You see, I'm ill. Think I'm dying. If I am, there're things I've got to do. One of them is to find out what happened to Ailyn. Another is to decide who's going to be Mandalore when I'm gone. And the third, of course, is to cheat death. I've had a lot of practice at that.

If you are not sure about the fit, if your car is from a change-over year or if you don't see an option available to select your vehicle, just contact us and we can help.
