Charles and Lorraine Joyce embodied the meaning of commitment. Married for nearly 64 years until Charles' passing in June 2013, they worked hard and helped countless others. Now their strong legacy will live on at St. Bonaventure University through a newly established scholarship that bears their names.
Beginning this fall, the Charles H. and Lorraine Hyland Joyce Endowed Scholarship will be awarded annually to a deserving student from an Allegany County school district.
The Joyce family has donated the funds to establish the endowed scholarship. They are committed to continuing their parents' tradition of offering a helping hand where needed and giving back to the place the couple loved most — Allegany County.
"We are all very emotionally connected to, strongly grounded in, and committed to Allegany County and want to help others who grew up there," said daughter Teresa Joyce, who is a 1981 graduate of St. Bonaventure and a former faculty member in the School of Business. Other Joyce family members who have attended St. Bonaventure include son Richard, daughter-in-law Sherry Walton, and granddaughter Molly Jackson Turner.
"My parents grew up at a time when, and in an area where, it was quite rare for people to attend college. My dad worked on the family farm and in the oil fields from a very young age. My mom and dad worked hard to raise a family and grow a successful business, and to make sure that my siblings and I had opportunities that they did not have," she said.
Her parents shared a love of learning, which is why a scholarship named in their honor seemed such a fitting way to remember Charles and pay tribute to Lorraine.
Sr. Margaret Carney, O.S.F., president of the University, said, "The Joyce family is making sure that we receive critically needed resources to meet the needs of struggling families and college-bound students in Allegany County. This is an area where the damage of the current economic downturn is pervasive. Their scholarship will be a ray of hope in hard times."
The Joyce family hopes the scholarship will provide support for Allegany County students to reach their full potential.
"St. Bonaventure had a major impact on the direction of my life, and I can say the same for friends and relatives who attended St. Bonaventure," said Teresa Joyce. "All of us know people who wanted to attend college, but could not because they lacked the resources to do so. We hope this gift can provide at least some support for students who face financial hurdles in pursuing a college degree."
For more information about the Charles H. and Lorraine Hyland Joyce Endowed Scholarship at St. Bonaventure, interested persons can contact Kate Dillon Hogan, associate vice president for Enrollment, at (716) 375-2128 or via email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
About the University: The nation's first Franciscan university, St. Bonaventure University cultivates graduates who are confident and creative communicators, collaborative leaders and team members, and innovative problem solvers who are respectful of themselves, others, and the diverse world around them. We are establishing pathways to internships, graduate schools and careers in the context of our renowned liberal arts tradition. Our students are becoming extraordinary.

I'm late (again) for this weekly series, but I'm also going to take a different spin on the original mission from We Tree:
"Learn about your local public library's inter-library loan (ILL) policy. Pick a genealogy-related book that you want to read that is not in your library's collection. Ask the librarian how to request the book from another library. Find the different library systems from which you can request books through your own library, as this can dramatically increase the number of genealogy books to which you have access. If you have a genealogy blog, write about your experience with requesting items through your library's ILL service."
I've used and am a huge proponent of inter-library loan (ILL) services. Through my volunteer work with the Internet Public Library, I constantly refer patrons to their local libraries because even if their library doesn't have a particular book that they may need or want, they usually can request it via inter-library loan.
The state of Maryland actually maintains a fleet of vehicles for this purpose (and if I could find my spring 2008 class notes, I could tell you exactly how many). The other morning, I saw a van belonging to the Eastern Shore Regional Library heading west on Route 50 here on the Shore. I wonder if they were transporting books for the ILL program.
Here's how the ILL loan process works at my library: once I determine that a book I need is not available in my library's catalog, but is available at another library in the system (either via WorldCat [more on this in a future post] or on Marina, the state's library holdings database), I simply call or email the library and ask them to request the book for me. They also can request books from out-of-state institutions, but there is a $5 charge for this (still cheaper than having to buy your own copy of most books!). The hitch is that if a book is in high demand, you may have to wait a while before it becomes available to send your way.
I've also used the ILL system within the University System of Maryland libraries. I work on the College Park campus, but when I needed a book at one of the campuses in Baltimore, I was able to request that it be sent to one of the libraries on the College Park campus for me to pick up. Way more convenient!

Melvin's first challenge comes on play at plate
OAKLAND -- A's manager Bob Melvin is 0-for-1 under the new replay system. His first official challenge came on a second-inning call at the plate, which was eventually upheld.
With Oakland leading 2-0, home plate umpire Mark Wegner called Derek Norris out at the plate on Josh Donaldson's fielder's-choice groundball, a close call that had Melvin running out of the dugout not too long after -- but long enough to put into question whether it was still reviewable.
Once it was decided that it was, it was announced that the ruling stood because of "inconclusive evidence." The review lasted 4 minutes and 45 seconds.
"I got a late call on it, and I didn't think I would potentially be able to pull it off because Jed [Lowrie] was starting to get in the box," said Melvin. "It was allowed, and it's becoming pretty clear that unless it's obvious, they're not going to overturn it. It was close, but we had him as safe."
"I thought my foot got in there," said Norris. "I didn't feel him tagging me until my foot touched home. But they said it was inconclusive. They're up there looking at it as slow as possible, trying to get the best call, but it is what it is."
The bigger concern at day's end was the time it took for the call to be made.
"If that's how long the replay is going to take," Indians manager Terry Francona said, "there's probably going to be some issues. Hopefully they can figure out a way to make it quicker than that one. That took away from the flow of the game, and I think that's what they're trying to avoid."

First two ingredients are named meat products, good quality ingredients
Uncertain meat content
The first ingredient in this food is a named meat product, in meal form. The second ingredient is also a named meat product, but this one is inclusive of water content (about 80%). Once that is removed, as it must be to create a dehydrated product, the ingredient will weigh around 20% of its wet weight. It is thus likely that this dry ingredient may be more accurately placed much further down the ingredient list than its wet form (ingredients are listed in order of weight). Since the ingredient list is still headed by a meat meal ingredient, this does not cause considerable loss of confidence in the likely meat content of the food. There are further meat meal ingredients 5th and 6th on the ingredient list, but this starts to be too far down the listing to make a significant contribution to the overall meat content of the food.
The main grains in the food are rice and milo (aka sorghum). These are decent quality whole grains. Further starch content comes from potatoes and yams. We appreciate the inclusion of whole eggs and a range of frutis and vegetables in the food. There is a good range of probiotics. Fat content in this product comes from oil (salmon and canola) rather than animal fat. This is generally positive, although not all agree that canola is good quality.
Overall, this product appears to use good quality ingredients. We would have some concern that the grain ingredients, albeit good quality, appear to be much more plentiful than meat ingredients. Users might consider supplementing this diet with real meat.

As you can see, Ira's parents are listed. But, there is no wife next to him on the other side. It tells me that he was born in 1859 and died in 1922. So, what else is there to know?
The Barbour Index of Vital Records for Stonington ends with the year 1854 so it is a good thing that the Denison genealogy lists his date of birth [#4323 page 149] as 5 June 1859. There is no death date but he is listed as unmarried.
Today, when I entered him into my tree at Ancestry.com, I immediately got a hint for the new beta City Directories for Mystic, Connecticut for 1923. Even before I looked at the page, I knew that I was going to see a date of death for Ira. I was not disappointed. Ira died on 10 May 1922 in Mystic as you see here by this clip of the page for surname NOYES.
This was the only city directory that was found by the automatic hint. But, as I have searched many city directories before, I knew that there would be more and between these and the census records, I will find out more about Ira. I would like to find out his occupation and where he was living when he died.
It is important to remember those who have no descendants.

Much has changed for Chad McGhee since he was hereby nominated for consideration as the biggest high-school football fan in the history of the game.
Newspapers in Texas have written about him. Radio stations in Boston have him scheduled to appear on Friday, but they're just getting sloppy seconds from some sports-talkers in Dallas. And some guy named Brad called, identifying himself as a part of Jimmy Kimmel's guest-booking crew. (Side note to Brad: the cell number you gave Chad ain't working, so call him back).
It's a lot to handle when his belusted Knox! City! Greyhounds! are gearing up for their six-man Texas high-school football opener Saturday night against Crowell at Trent's Rumble in the Jungle (aka Gorilla Stadium). But he was gracious enough to grant a 20-minute phone audience this afternoon.
"I'm overwhelmed with all this attention but enjoying this ride. I haven't had so much fun in a really, really long time," said the 36-year-old who's unemployed at present but has picked up some side work keeping stats and compiling footage from Greyhounds games this season.
He realized something was up when, after spending a day visiting his mother at the nursing home, the hits on his YouTube video went from about a thousand to tens of thousands in a matter of hours.
The attention is "helping the Greyhounds tremendously. They work harder. They're more focused. It gets 'em fired up. I went to practice yesterday and could see that they were absolutely ready to dominate. You couldn't be more ready for a football season than they are right now! I could see the fire burning from within! We're passionate about football here. We take it very, very, very seriously."
McGhee didn't go to Knox City. He didn't make the football team where he went, either. His take on that:
"Came really close. It's tough. Even put on the shoulder pads. I don't know what the problem was. Whether they thought I wasn't tough enough, didn't have the willingness, that I was too shy. Whatever they were thinking, it was the dumbest mistake they could ever make.
"They missed a golden opportunity here. I didn't just get that passion [from the videos] overnight. It was always hidden inside me. People are coming up to me saying, 'Damn, I never knew you had it in you, boy.' It was always there. Never had the platform to show it until now."
Explaining his artistic inspiration for the YouTube videos — each takes him about two hours to complete — he said it came from seeing the guys from the Knox City team around town; at church, youth groups, the grocery store, jogging, walking around, the gym.
"The more I heard 'em talking, the more I listened, I decided I'd do anything I could to boost 'em, to pump 'em up, to make them believe down inside that they can dominate, annihiliate and assassinate this season of football.
"There's absolutely nothing stopping them from greatness! If they believe in themselves, they will be the best. There's nothing stopping them from glory, from getting out on that gridiron, out on that field and outwinning, outplaying and outlasting the other teams! They will reach for the stars and bring the championship home to where it belongs: IN KNOX CITY! We are absolutely destined for greatness here. I can see it in their eyes, the passion, the absolute fire and desire they have!"
Chad figures he'll do a highlight-reel show of some sort, and promised to call me with weekly updates to pass along.
As for his non-football related hopes for the future, Chad said there are rumors around The City that he'll end up on Kimmel, Letterman or Leno. "It's flattering," he said, "but I'm not gonna think much about it unless I hear from them."

Compiled by Alexis Ditkowsky, KF14, South Africa
For many Fellows, this week was about getting back to basics: the borrowers. In between fun facts about Kiva Fellowships, doing database detective work, and reflecting on the internal dynamics of Kiva's partner microfinance institutions, Fellows found themselves in the field again and again, much to their delight and often to the delight of borrowers. From Latin America to Africa to the Caucasus to Southeast Asia to Eastern Europe, meet Kiva clients, learn about their businesses, and check out all of the great photos.
Kiva Fellows by the Numbers
Countries: Sierra Leone, Rwanda, Mexico, Ghana, Uganda, Mongolia, Ukraine, Nepal, Peru, Cambodia, Indonesia, Liberia, Guatemala, South Africa, Colombia, Bolivia, Armenia, Kyrgyzstan / Fellows: By David McNeill (KF14) & Adam Cohn (KF14) but featuring the entire 14th class
Ever wonder how far Fellows travel for their placements or how slow the Internet really is in Liberia? And did you know that you can buy Coca-Cola in a plastic bag for $.15 in Cambodia? Discover more fun facts about Kiva Fellowships in this post and the accompanying spreadsheet.
Death By Fire
Country: Mexico / Fellow: John Farmer (KF14)
John considers the tension between business and family after meeting a borrower who successfully used microloans to set up a tamale shop but hesitates to make an expensive investment even though it would improve her family's health.
Database Detective: South Africa Edition
Country: South Africa / Fellow: Alexis Ditkowsky (KF14)
For those of you who like reading about databases and reporting, Alexis has you covered. For everyone else who wants to visit a borrower, learn about her business, and look at lots of pictures, you're taken care of, too.
Get into the groove
Country: Ukraine / Fellow: Jacqueline Gunn (KF14)
Jacqueline finally finds a cure for the shock of moving from Ghana to Ukraine in the middle of winter: visiting borrowers! Get to know Sergei, Yana, and Irina and learn about the philosophies behind their businesses.
Piece by Piece: The Garment Worker's Loan
Country: Cambodia / Fellow: Stephanie Sibal (KF14)
Stephanie introduces us to the challenges of working in the garment industry through Sok, a Kiva client. Thanks to a recent loan, Sok purchased a cow which she hopes will increase her family's income stream so she can send her sons to university one day.
Realities Of Microfinance In Benin. (Part 1, The White Man)
Country: Benin / Fellow: Gareth Davies (KF14)
In case you thought that picking up and moving to another part of the world was easy, Gareth explains some of the new realities he's encountered as a white man in Benin.
Women Working for Women: Staff + Client Collaboration in Nepal
Country: Nepal / Fellow: Claudine Emeott (KF14)
BPW Nepal not only serves women through its loan products and personable customer service, it also provides a warm and supportive environment for its staff, management, and board members, the vast majority of whom are female.
New Horizons- A Fellow's First Field Visit
Country: Armenia / Fellow: Caree Edson (KF14)
Caree's first trip into the field was definitely worth the wait. In addition to being welcomed with cake and chocolate at the New Horizons office, she learns more about their loan products and partnerships, meets several borrowers with very distinct businesses, and eats lunch at "indisputably the most beautiful place in Armenia".
Previous updates from the field:
Carnival, Collaboration + Cheese-Making

It's fitting, then, that the duo's debut LP is also the first original album-length release for Blackest Ever Black—a landmark moment for both parties. Part of Raime's power undoubtedly lies in their reticence, and it's significant that the seven tracks on Quarter Turns Over a Living Line serve to more than double their total output. In tackling the album format, there was always a slight risk that the duo would overreach, losing some of their potency in the process. Fortunately they've done nothing of the sort, crafting a 40-minute statement of intent that remains focussed without becoming monochrome, and injects fresh blood into the Raime formula without sacrificing its considerable early promise.
Quarter Turns Over a Living Line is a marked departure from those formative EPs in a couple of respects. For one thing, the electronic sound palette of past releases has been augmented with a range of live instrumentation; the resultant mixture of the acoustic and the synthetic, sutured together with bursts of distortion, gives the duo's sound a newfound richness. At points—as with the plangent string tones that bookend the album, lending an oaky shimmer to "Passed Over Trail" and "The Dimming of Road and Rights"—this imbues proceedings with a baroque sense of dread not dissimilar from The Haxan Cloak, although far less (i.e. not at all) inclined to tip over into quaint archaisms. Elsewhere, guitar predominates—sometimes, as you might expect, functioning as the harbinger of doom, but not always: scratchy, distant loops form the backbone to "Your Cast Will Tire," for example, a numbing dirge that hints at Americana's panoramic vistas.
Another marked change is in pace. Sure, the nimble pitter-patter of programmed drums that gave past Raime productions something of the weightlessness of jungle does make appearances—in the pulse-quickening "Exist in the Repeat of Practice," for example. But more often than not it's subdued or entirely absent, replaced with expanses of yawning, abysmal space, dread-pregnant stases that pack half the sonic content but double the emotional clout. As a strategy it suggests newfound confidence and willingness to do more with less.
But in spite of the differences, this record is more a case of continuity than of rupture. One of the album's finest moments, "The Last Foundry," draws on material from "This Foundry," taken from the Raime EP—a neatly cyclical gesture. The original is among the duo's prettiest, most melancholic moments, and this new version is similarly aching, its thick double bass notes implying a mournful harmonic progression under daubs of distortion and occasional wails of guitar. It's undeniably still Raime, but—much like this album as a whole—it's a more expansive, more ambitious and more accomplished Raime than we've heard before.

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. And the earth was waste and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep: and the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day.

Pineapple Pecan Cups
"This recipe is a variation of an original recipe I've been making for years," says Marilyn Blankschien of Clintonville, Wisconsin. "The tangy pineapple-cream cheese filling cuts the sweetness of the pecan topping."

- 1-1/2 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/4 cup crushed pineapple, drained
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans
- In a small bowl, beat butter and cream cheese until smooth. Add flour; mix well. Divide dough into six portions; press onto the bottom and 3/4 in. up the sides of six muffin cups coated with cooking spray. Set aside.
- In another bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth; stir in pineapple. Spread into each cup. Combine the egg, brown sugar, corn syrup, butter, flour and vanilla; stir in pecans. Spoon over filling.
- Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until topping is set. Cool for 10 minutes before carefully removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely.

Blue Miller's astrological sign is Cancer. Cancer's are homebodies. He is the exact opposite, and that opposite is as apparent as the difference between his singing and speaking voice. Find him out on the road….find him in the studio….but home? That's where he sleeps…sometimes. He's a down to earth "good guy", a little bit shy, yes …. and a gentle soul. It's hard to believe that throaty, raspy almost hurtful sound is him and harder to believe after you've seen him perform, that the soft-spoken person is one and the same. His singing and playing rip from his insides to show and tell the world, "this is what I am…this is who I am".
Blue's dad gave him a guitar at age six and he listened to pop radio, Motown records, and old time Rock'n'Roll, putting in hours of playing every day, trying to mimic what he'd heard, while his friends taunted him with baseball, football, basketball and later cruising for babes. While his buds were "scoring", he scored music as he studied music theory, ear training and classical guitar at Wayne State. The Detroit music scene was happening. Detroit was home, and while he was definitely influenced, he soon developed a style all his own….black and white and every shade of blue.
A band fronted by Blue had to be and was….. went through some name and member changes, and eventually became known as Julia. Julia caught the ears of Ann Marston, (remember her?…..retired world archery champion and Miss Michigan) She became their manager and with her influence, she led them to three single releases with chart success. Any Michiganders who remember "Mystic Cloud/Someone Like You" or "You Want Me To Leave You/You For Me' or "M'Lady/Honky Tonk Woman" on Palladium Records? (Bob Seger's manager's label) How many of you went to see Lovin Spoonful, Rod Stewart and the Small Faces, Bad Finger, Fleetwood Mac, Humble Pie, The James Gang, or David Bowie, jus to name a few, and saw Julia as the opening act? Punch Andrews, Bob Seger's manager, signed Julia to a management/recording deal (not too shabby for a first band) and, when they were asked to tour and record with Blue's hero, his parents, Shirley & Bill, had to sign a permission slip…. Blue was still in school. Look for him on the Capitol Records single release, "Lookin' Back", and the "Back In 72" & "Bob Seger Seven" LP's on Palladium/Reprise Records. But don't expect to find the name Blue Miller there. Look instead for Bill Mueller.
Read on……….he had rave reviews from England's "Melody Maker" magazine touting his fabulous guitar work on Seger's albums, but he was also a singer and writer, and he ached for the spotlight to showcase his own music. He left the folds of his hero. Julia disbanded, scattered, and Bill went on his solo way. (It wasn't too long after this that the name Blue Miller was penned for the first time.)
He was soon signed by producer, Don Davis of Tortoise/RCA Records. Don had visions of becoming the next Detroit music mogul, but the label folded before Blue's "Wishbook" LP was released. "Looking back", Blue says, "I guess it was for the best…that album wasn't really me. It was more what Don thought I should be". He'd met Albert King and worked with him on his "King Albert" LP. King cut Blue's "Bootlace" and it was released on Tomatoe Records. He also had songs recorded by Gladys Knight and David Ruffin. We were seeing more of the "blues" shade of Blue in this period his life.
And…there was yet another outlet for his blues…..in the advertising business. Remember that catchy little number he did called "The News Done Give Me The Blues" for the Detroit Free Press? Fans requested it when he was a solo act opening for Toto, Tom Waits, Leo Sayer, Cheech & Chong, Meatloaf, etc., etc., etc. at the marvelous old Royal Oak Theater. Blue remembers always being scared silly that he'd be booed off stage, a skinny young, longhaired kid with just a guitar, but his unique voice caught them and held them. It's been said that he sounds like Bob Seger, Brian Adams, Joe Cocker and Rod Stewart all rolled into one. Before Don Was was, he walked up to Blue and said, "let me produce you". Unfortunately, fear of the unknown accomplished nothing with Was. At that time, Blue was writing, performing & producing music scores for ABC-TV & already had many ADDY awards under his belt. Soon he was rewarded with 3 Emmy nominations for best original music, (including "I Am Somebody"…theme song for a Jesse Jackson special) and walked off amidst shouts & cheers with an Emmy in his hand. Who'd have thunk it? This was great fun, but, as all you road dogs know, you don't leave it for long. The road beckoned. He answered the call and put together another band. What would he call them? The Bill Mueller Band? Yes that would do for now. Inroads had been made as Bill Mueller.
An LP titled "No Place Like Home" (what?…..an oxymoron) followed, and acting upon the advice of a trusted friend, Punch Andrews, he packed up lock, stock, and guitars and moved to central Florida to run the Southeast Coast and promote the new album. It was here that a friend said, "why don't you flip flop the i-l-l in Bill & the u-e in Mueller and be Blue Miller? Yeah man, that's cool, too cool!" And so, Blue Miller was born. Funny thing happened though, on the way to running the Southeast Coast to promote the new album … seems "No Place Like Home" was more than just an LP title. It was a sentiment that his band members held near and dear. Supposedly right on his heels, they couldn't quite get up the nerve to leave Detroit, hearth and home. Blue bought a house, large enough to house his band and waited. By the time they'd followed, he was on to other musical endeavors.
He was in Macon Georgia at Capricorn Studios, where he was producing master tracks on himself, when he met Chuck Leavell and was so impressed with his keyboard work that his own guitars were moved over in homage. He later was the lead vocalist on a Sea Level release for Arista Records called "Make You Feel Love Again". Guess Chuck liked him too. Pete Solly produced this cut and Blue will tell you that "he'd never been so beaten up in his life"…..and he loved it.
The guitar laden "No Place Like Home" which had taken him from Detroit to the deep South, was laid aside. The piano laden Macon project was laid aside. A big shot producer from Europe had heard Blue's voice and tracked him down. "I'm gonna make you a star, boy". Jack White was riding high with a number one international hit, "Gloria", by Laura Branigan. Tracks were recorded in Atlanta, and tracks were brought in from Europe and LA. A single was released in Europe on Ariola Records that reeked of Disco… was this a shade of Blue? Blue thought about the most important piece of advice he'd ever received. It was from another of his hero's, Eric Clapton. In a conversation at the Ritz in Atlanta, one night after a show, Eric said, "the best advice I can give you is, "if you're gonna do it, do it honest, and do it the best you can". Jack and Blue parted ways….an amicable split, destined to happen. Blue was Rock'n'Roll and Soul. Jack was pop oriented and Disco. Oil and water in some circles and definitely not a shade of Blue. Blue remembers when Jack asked him if he knew who Englebert Humperdink was. He'd played "What Are You Waiting For" for him and he loved it…. wanted to cut it. It landed on a platinum LP, "Dreaming With Englebert" on Ariola Records in Europe. "What Are You Waiting For" is the song that Blue considers his signature song. Watch him sing this, hear his heart break, and then look around and try to find a dry eye in the house.
Speaking of Europe, Blue sang background on their "Final Countdown" LP including their number one hit "Carrie".
Peabo Bryson and Issac Hayes called on Blue for session work.
Blue produced tracks on a Canadian artist named Kelita, and tracks on Sammy Johns.
His performance of his song "Rock On Through The Night" was used on the ABC network show "Super Carrier".
That bluesy singer wailing about hamburgers for America in the movie "Hamburger, the Motion Picture" is the Blueman. We've heard he also sings about waffles.
He toured the U.S. and Australia with Issac Hayes, played the Apollo Theater to standing ovations when he took center stage with his guitar solos, and kidded everyone about being "the only white boy in a 12 piece black band…and they made me ride in the back of the bus".
The Cruzados, Paul Shaffer and The Worlds Most Dangerous Band, and T. Graham Brown were in the limelight in the ad business with successful campaigns for Busch Beer and Taco Bell and Blue was involved in all three.
He performs a duet, "Brother To Brother", in the movie, "Next Of Kin" starring Patrick Swayze………he calls it his stunt vocal for Greg Allman.
He cut some sassy R'n'B tracks with producer Willie Mitchell, Poppa Willie, as they call him in Memphis.
And the beat goes on……………
Meanwhile, a new music mecca was thriving…Nashville, Tennessee. Top notch music people were moving there in droves…said it was gonna be "Little L.A." Of course, Blue would go there. Nashville was the pied piper.
He'd been in Nashville one week when he ran into a friend from Atlanta, also following the pied piper, who said, "I've got this guy I want you to meet, …… looks like your brother". The Gibson Miller Band was formed & signed to Epic/Sony Records. Blue co-produced, "Where There's Smoke", their first CD, which had 5 top of the chart singles and 3 videos. He was on the road again, 37 states and 4 Canadian Provinces in 230 days. The Kentucky Headhunters, Hank Jr. and Colin Raye singled him out and called him on stage to perform with them. This was the life. This was what he was born to do. Rocker friend Ted Nugent teased him about being a traitor…..Blue, c'mon…country? Blue had found, to his amazement, that throngs of people are separated from the music by labeling. He was making music and playing like he'd always played. Blue collaborated again and produced the second CD, "Red, White & Blue Collar". The band performed the opening track, "Mama's Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys" in "The Cowboy Way" starring Woody Harrelson, Kiefer Sutherland and Dylan McDermott. Waylon was so proud of this Blue Miller version that he joined them on stage in Pennsylvania for a rockin', rousing show.
The Gibson Miller Band won The Academy of Country Music's, Best New Vocal Group of the Year, and Levon Helm was quoted, "as far as I'm concerned, GMB is the best damned band in America".
They were on their way….when from nowhere…from out of the blue….his partner decided to pursue other interests. Ouch! No problem for the Blueman though. He regrouped, and jumped right back in, producing acts, songwriting, doing session work and pulling a new Blue project together with a little help from his friends….look for Ricky Medlocke of Blackfoot/Skynyrd fame. He co-penned three songs with the Blueman on the new Blue CD. These two road dogs have some chemistry!….and of course, his Blue Crew, Mike Daly, Steve Grossman, Doug Kahan, Tony Harrell, Carol Chase and Cindy Richardson.
Hey NASCAR fans, check this out…..Blue Miller produced and co-wrote 20 rocking and rhythm and blues songs about racing, and his Kick In The Asphalt Band (named appropriately for this project) toured with the Winston Cup Road Show. There are 1,300,000 Winston Cup NASCAR CD's out there. Do you own one?
And……did you know Blue produced "The Chrome Album" for Ty Stone and his band? Ty is Kid Rock's new find, now on Top Dog/Atlantic Records?
And…did you know that Reen Nalli in Nashville via Detroit and New York arranged for Blue and India Arie to get together? She felt their two souls would meet in the middle. The fans have proven that Reen knows what she's talking about. Blue co-wrote and produced the tracks that became the beginning of the "Acoustic Soul" CD, which was nominated for 7 Grammy's. He hit the road again with India on her world wide tour. When she takes a break and sends him home, he fills his "down time" working with Aaron Neville, Michael Bolton, Tanya Tucker, Blue October, Smokie, Greg Crowe, Danny Shirley of Confederate Railroad, Fletcher, Barry Becket, Ilse DeLange, Politics, Tim Montana and new artist from Alabama, Skyler.
"No rest for the lucky ones in the music business", Blue says, and adds, "I am so blessed to be working and doing what I love".
There are many shades of Blue. When India introduces him, she says, "he's not black, he's not white, he's Blue".

The law was passed in August of 1993, and with the exception of the Clinton budget, it was one of the only big items President Bill Clinton pushed through in his first term. Now the City Council is moving on a law that will require employers with more than 20 employees to offer paid sick leave.
Clinton's thinking on the issue was that there were so many people with either no insurance or limited insurance that there needed to be some pro-family legislation to protect employees that had little clout. He knew that trade unions were losing muscle, and this was a way to get around that.
Critics said FMLA would cripple the economy. We know that it did not. The problem, some 20 years later, is that the law leaves some gaps for abuse. Employees do not always have to offer a detailed reason for taking this leave, and if they do, it is often required some time after they already took the time off.
Do some people use this around the holidays when it is harder to get regular time off? Perhaps, but the law has not killed the economy. It could, however, be fine tuned a little.
The reason we care about this law is because it is similar to the law the City Council favors by a two-thirds majority. The mayor does not like the bill, which requires small businesses to offer paid sick leave. He feels it will negatively affect small businesses.
Of course it will negatively affect them, but it will most likely not run them out of town. There is, however, a hidden cost to this legislation: it could put pressure on employees in a backhanded way.
Employers cannot fire a person for taking time off, but they can find ways to hold it against employees if they wish. If employees taking sick leave starts to adversely affect a business, this is going to change the employer-employee relationship.
Maybe employees will begin to get fewer increases in wages as employers have to now pay for when they are not at work. There is also the risk that employers will lay off employees to stay under the minimum number in order to avoid the law.
In the end, nobody deserves to lose their job if they, or their children, are sick. As long as these laws are closely monitored to seek out abuse, they will not damage the economy or run businesses out of town. The mayor will most likely veto this bill, but it will pass (maybe before Wednesday) with an override.
NYC AIDS Memorial on the Way
The AIDS Memorial Park Coalition and The New York City AIDS Memorial's Board of Directors have settled on a design for what will eventually be a memorial in memory of the thousands of New Yorkers who died of AIDS.
The structure is a steel walkway that leads to St. Vincent's Hospital Park. In a large city like ours, this is an important memorial. The design is also sensible and would fit nicely, as it leads into the park.
The coalition for this memorial is in the stage of building capital to fund it.

SUNY Canton Implements New Textbook Rental ProgramWednesday, August 19th, 2009
SUNY Canton is implementing a new innovative textbook rental program in order to help students minimize the costs of attending college.
"This is a latest in a series of cost-saving strategies to help students save money and make college more affordable," said College President Joseph L. Kennedy. "We'll continue to work hard to provide the highest quality education at the most affordable price."
Textbooks often cost more than $100 apiece and represent one of students' biggest expenses after tuition and room and board. Many students attempt to save by buying used books or ordering books from other vendors.
Eight SUNY Canton classes will participate in the trial run of the program. Their students will have the opportunity to rent their texts rather than purchase them outright. The College Association has purchased the textbooks and students will pay approximately 45 to 65 percent of the cover price of the book for a one-semester rental. A $100 book could cost as little as $45, which is even less than buying a used book.
"This is a two-year pilot program to create more affordable options for students," College Association Operations Director Sue Law said. "I can see this becoming a major initiative as more students express interest and enjoy the savings."
Other colleges are implementing textbook rental programs through publishers as a way to adapt and grow in an increasingly on-line on-demand marketplace. SUNY Canton staff specifically created their model to reduce the expenditures by students.
"We are giving students the option of eliminating all of the hassle of buying and reselling textbooks," said SUNY Canton Provost William R. Trumble. "I can see it making a big difference in a number of our students' lives."
Students will be responsible for the texts through the course of the semester and have the option to purchase the book outright at the end of their classes.
SUNY Canton offers a wide variety of career-driven bachelor's, associate, and certificate programs, as well as three master's degrees in conjunction with SUNYIT, Utica. Most of SUNY Canton's new four-year programs are designed so students can take them on-campus, online, or both. SUNY Canton OnLine features more than 100 courses online each semester. The College's athletic teams belong to the NAIA's Sunrise Conference, enabling students to compete in their respective sports for four years. Construction is now underway for the College's new Convocation, Athletic, and Recreation Center.

On a recent trip to San Jose, I was in need of a car rental. In doing my internet search, I came across an agency I had never heard of called FOX Rent A Car. In doing my comparison shopping with the "name brands" I found that Fox offered everything that the "name brands" offered but at a much more reasonable price. I got to the Fox car rental counter just as easy as any other car rental by taking the big blue San Jose car rental bus to building two right next to Budget and Enterprise Rentals. The gentleman manning the counter was very friendly and efficient. Because of the money savings on the actual car rental, I even rented a GPS device, which proved to be valuable during my trip.
While they may not be the most common brand used for car rentals, they're prices are unbeatable. Fox guarantees to be the lowest competitor among all major car rental companies. Through the use of technology and employee motivation, Fox continually offers the best deals for car rental shoppers. They pride themselves on customer service and offering new and dependable vehicles.
Fox is the largest independent car rental company with headquarters in California. With locations at major airports in Arizona, California, Florida, Missouri, Nevada, Utah, and Washington, the company offers the same convenient location as competitors. Fox also has international locations at air ports in Canada, Costa Rica, Guam, New Zealand, Puerto Rico, and Saint Lucia for those traveling outside the country.
The company rents all types of cars including compact, full size SUV, hybrids, luxury, and convertibles. Rates vary depending on your selection, but the price for renting starts at about $60. Online reservations are available in order to secure your choice before arrival on your trip. Garmin GPS devices are available for around $10 per day rented. Upon request customers can also rent portable DVD players for entertainment in the car. Fox also has a rewards program for those frequent customers to cash in points received, which equal a designated dollar amount. Given time and use a customer can save up enough points to obtain a free rental.
I used Fox Rent A Car Ft Lauderdale as you can see in my article Fox Car Rental Review

Product Features
230 g/m2 Interlock Knit | 100 % 18.5 Micron Merino Wool | UPF Rating 50+
Versatile and comfortable, our Merino Wool will always have your back. Designed as a three-season garment, our Mid-weight works great as either a base or mid layer.
Our Midweight styles have all the same natural qualities as our Lightweight Merino Wool, with greater insulation. Minus33 Merino Wool Clothing is perfect as a base layer for a day on the slopes or as an emergency pullover when a cold front rolls in just before you summit.
Great for: hiking, camping, lifestyle, snowsports, hunting, fishing. Temperature Recommendation: High Activity - 0° - 30°, Low Activity - 30° - 60°.
The Mid Layer is your second layer. It should provide insulation, and be breathable. It can also be an outer layer if weather permits. Proper layering of your garments is very important and in extreme cases may save your life. Consider your activities carefully and plan for the unexpected. Learn more about layering.
The Insulating Layer is used when the weather leans more towards the cold side. It is a second Mid Layer that provides extra warmth and is breathable. Proper layering of your garments is very important and in extreme cases may save your life. Consider your activities carefully and plan for the unexpected. Learn more about layering.
Standard fit with a little bit of room, but not baggy. Works best as a base layer, or when worn alone. Can also be worn as a mid or insulating layer. If you are looking for a tighter, athletic fit, try going to the next size down. Learn About Fit & Sizing.
Full zippered style allows for easy layering and taking the piece on and off.
Thumb holes are slits in fabric near the cuff of a sleeve to allow thumbs to go through. This allows for extra coverage on the back of the hands and palms to provide extra warmth and also makes it easier to pull layers under others.
A zipper garage provides a place at the top of the zipper for the zipper pulls to go which reduces chafing and irritation. Zipper garage also prevents the cold metal from touching the skin.
Full coverage hood. Some styles, such as our Trailblazer Hoody, have a slim fit hood which works great underneath a helmet. Other styles, like our Kodiak Hoody, have an oversized hood which will fit over a helmet. Both hooded styles provide great coverage.
Tagless labeling ends the need for a traditional tag. Tagless garments allow for increased comfort by eliminating the itching and scratching associated with a traditional tag.
Flat lock seams allow for ultimate comfort, preventing chafing and allowing your clothes to move with you. Flat lock seams are stronger, helping your garments last.
Total Easy Care (TEC) Merino apparel is designed for today's busy lifestyle. Total Easy Care Merino garments are all machine-washable, and are suitable for tumble drying. Even after frequent laundering they retain an 'as new' appearance. They won't shrink, lose their shape, fade or color-bleed. They remain soft and comfortable for the life of the garment. TEC is a textile innovation used by Minus33 that was developed by the Woolmark Company.
Minus33 Merino Wool regulates the amount of moisture on your skin by absorbing any moisture or sweat on your body. Then, the absorbed moisture evaporates out of the fabric into the atmosphere. Wool is a classic natural insulator, but is just as effective in warmer weather due to its rapid moisture wicking ability. Learn more about wool properties.
With less moisture comes less odor. Minus33 Merino Wool resists against microbes and odor, so foot fungus and smelly odor will NOT be a problem while wearing our products. Merino Wool fibers naturally reject any bacteria in moisture or sweat as it is wicked away. This means you don't have to wash wool as often. Less laundry means less water being used, benefiting our planet. Learn more about wool properties.
Wool will absorb up to 30% of its weight in moisture without feeling wet or clammy. If you do get wet, whether it be from sweat, weather, or water bodies, wool will insulate you better than cotton or polyester materials. This is especially important if you are in a survival situation, and can help prevent or delay hypothermia depending on the conditions. Learn more about wool properties.
Merino Wool insulates against high temperatures and does not readily catch fire. If it does, it self-extinguishes. When Merino burns, it doesn't melt and stick to the skin like synthetic fabrics do. For this reason, merino is popular among military, firefighting, and law enforcement communities. Learn more about wool properties.
Don't worry about sunburn on a sunny day summiting a peak. Lightweight layers have a UPF rating of 25. Midweight and Expedition have a UPF rating of 50+. Learn more about wool properties.

After finishing third among Daytona Prototypes in the Grand-Am Rolex Series last season, Spirit of Daytona owner Troy Flis feels the sky's the limit in 2013.
DAYTONA BEACH -- Troy Flis' local Spirit of Daytona Racing team had a breakout season last year in the Grand-Am Rolex Series, so well in fact that it has left little room for improvement this year.
But Flis feels like his team is ready to take the next step.
In Corvette's first season in Grand-Am's Daytona Prototypes last year, the Spirit of Daytona's No. 90 Chevy/Coyote became the first Corvette to win -- in the second race of the season at Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham, Ala.
With Richard Westbrook as the car's lead driver, the 90 car finished 2012 with three wins and three poles and finished third overall in DP team points and first among the Corvette teams.
"Last year was a big year for us,'' Flis said. "The last three years we really wanted to go back racing. Before that, Spirit of Daytona was a team where we kept building our program.''
Westbrook drove the car to the fifth-place starting spot in Rolex 24 At Daytona qualifying Thursday at Daytona International Speedway. Again, the 90 team was the top Corvette in the field.
Flis' team has steadily moved up the ladder since it resumed a full-time DP schedule three years ago. After finishing eighth among DP teams in both 2010 and 2011, the Spirit team took a giant step up last year. This year, it is trying to keep moving forward.
To start with, Flis hired a second full-time driver to join Westbrook for this season, raiding fellow Corvette team Wayne Taylor Racing by hiring Taylor's son, 23-year-old Ricky Taylor. Antonio Garcia and Oliver Gavin will join them for this weekend's twice-around-the-clock endurance race.
Ricky Taylor's age belies his experience. As a second-generation sports car racer, he got an early start behind the wheel. He won six consecutive poles in 2011 for his father's No. 10 car and he and veteran Max Angelelli finished second in series points in 2010 and 2011.
"About four years ago, I had Ricky drive a DP we were working on at a test in Savannah, and I thought, 'Man, this kid's got a lot of talent,' '' Flis said.
Taylor drove the No. 10 Corvette to a win in the last race of the 2012 season at Lime Rock (Conn.), outdueling the second-place Spirit of Daytona car, days after signing with Flis for this year.
"We pretty much made the deal two days before Lime Rock,'' Flis said. "I was watching the end of the race, and his dad was there too, biting his finger nailes as I was. Ricky was leading in his dad's car, but I was thinking, he's going to work for me next year.''
Taylor, whose young brother, Jordan, will replace him in the No. 10 this year, said moving to another team was necessary for him to take the next step in his career.
"It's so easy as a driver to be put in a mold,'' said Ricky Taylor, who is an engineering student at UCF when he's not racing. "Like if you're a paying driver for the first half of your career, people are just going to assume you're always going to pay for yourself (to drive for a team). And I think if you drive for your dad for a number of years, people will just write you off and never consider you for a job anywhere else.
"(The Spirit of Daytona team) is so good. They just don't have the recognition yet I think they deserve. This is a good move from my career standpoint, and my dad was happy to let me go because he was getting basically another version of me.''
But Ricky Taylor said it will be awkward the first time he and Jordan go head-to-head on the track.
"That's going to be really weird,'' Ricky said. "I don't know what my mom's going to do. It might not happen for the first two or three races, but it's going to happen at some point, because we are two of the best teams out there.''
Flis said the team overcame some growing pains with the Corvette last year. When Flis and crew tried to find speed at the low-downforce tracks by adjusting the car lower to the track surface, they eventually found they were putting too much pressure on the axles.
"We kept breaking axles, and it wasn't the axles' fault,'' Flis said. "We were trying to make it do something it really wasn't made to do. Looking back, that really cost us the championship. So we went to a different product that would allow us a bigger window to compromise on the ride height.''
After years of buildup, Flis and company feel like they're finally ready to win a championship.

The Summer 2008 issue is out, and as usual, J. Fralic-Brown and crew has put together another tremendous edition.
They have "Extracts from The Wesleyan Newspaper, 1838 - Part II", which cover deaths, "Vital Statistics On Line in the Maritimes", and two articles on "Nova Scotia Strays".
They also have an article on "The Simpson Collection, Part I - Dolores Lockhart's Wonderful Gift", which gives an account and description of the papers of James Simpson of Halifax in 1749. In the next issue will be Part II, in which more of the records will be discussed.
And the second installment of the article "'First Missionary' - Well, Not Really, But ... Part II" talks about the life of Thomas Wood, a missionary from the Church of England in Nova Scotia.
Follow Wood as he goes from Halifax to New Brunswick Annapolis Royal, and read about his exploits in the countryside in the early days of the Colony of Nova Scotia.
Part III will be in the fall issue of the Genealogist.
Their AGM was held in May, and there was an interesting fact - they reported that membership had fallen by 15% over last year.
This is quite a big dip in the numbers, and one way the president suggested that they could reduce the cost of doing business was to reduce the number of issues of the Genealogist to two from three, or making it available on the website.
I vote for making it available on the website and keeping the number of issues to three! It is a good publication, full of useful and timely information, and is worth making available to as many researchers of Nova Scotia and Maritime history and genealogy as possible.

American tennis player Wayne Odesnik will remember the Rogers Cup as his breakthrough tournament for 2012.
The 133rd-ranked Odesnik defeated Australian Marinko Matosevic 6-3, 6-3 and Teymuraz Gabashvilli of Russia 6-3, 5-7, 7-6(3) to go into the main draw before losing his opening-round match to Julien Benneteau of France 6-4, 6-4.
While this performance may not be particularly noteworthy, it was a significant breakthough for Odesnik, who was suspended from competing on the ATP men's tennis circuit for being in posession of human growth hormone (HGH) in 2010. For Odesnik, the Rogers Cup was his first major tennis tournament in close to a year.
"It felt wonderful to focus on tennis and let go of the past. I had fans from Toronto watching my matches and pulling for me. That has not always been the case since I resumed my career, and I feel excited and happy about playing again," he said after his loss to Benneteau.
Odesnik was charged with importing eight vials of HGH into Australia, where he had travelled to play in the 2010 Brisbane tournament. He pleaded guilty at a hearing by the International Tennis Federation anti-doping committee in March 2010. He was prohibited from entering tournaments for the next seven months and had to forfeit his ranking points and prize money ($90,000) for 2010.
At 25, Odesnik didn't want to quit and chose to rebuild his promising career. He was reinstated to the men's pro circuit in 2011. Odesnik competed in futures and challenger events (the minor leagues of pro tennis) in 2011 and won three singles titles to raise his rankings from 1,000 to be in the top 200 rankings by this past March.
Although Odesnik felt optimistic about returning to the form he showed when he had a career-high ranking of No. 77 (2009), many of his peers didn't want to see him play at all.
"What [Odesnik] did was just plain cheating, and they should throw him out of tennis. He should never have been allowed to return," American tennis star Andy Roddick said in 2010.
American player Donald Young felt that Odesnik should deserve credit for his achievements on the tennis circuit since returning from his suspension.
"I don't want to comment on whether Wayne should be allowed to compete or not. He has done well in playing up to form, and since he is allowed to compete, he should be acknowledged for his success," Young said after his Rogers Cup match in Toronto.
Odesnik feels that continuing to have good results on the court will make peers and fans alike think differently of him.
"I can't comment on my suspension or anything about the case. But I will say that if the players think they really know what happened, just talk with me, investigate the issue and don't assume. I feel like I'm having a chance again to play well and want to make the most of the opportunity."
Born is Johannesburg, South Africa, Odesnik and his parents moved to Florida when he was three. He took up tennis lessons at Miami's Jewish community centre at age six.
Because he learned to play through a JCC program, Odesnik is working on creating a foundation for promising Jewish players who may not be able to afford to go to expensive tennis academies to develop their game.
"I am fortunate that the JCC was there for me to continue to play tennis, so I'm eager to give back and help other Jewish tennis players achieve their dreams. A lot of people don't have the money to go to the expensive tennis academies, so having a Jewish sports foundation would help. I don't know yet when the foundation will begin, but I'm optimistic that I will have a lot of sponsors interesting in creating the foundation over the next year."
Odesnik's performance at the Rogers Cup will likely raise his ranking to 125 as he prepares to compete at the U.S. Open in September.
Two other Jewish players competing at the Rogers Cup, Americans Jesse Levine (who was born in Ottawa) and Michael Russell, lost their qualifying round matches.

Raonic favoured minute of silence
Canadian tennis star Milos Raonic who played at the Rogers Cup and competed at the London Olympics, spoke out against the International Olympic Committee's (IOC) decision not to have a moment of silence for the Israeli Olympians who were murdered at the 1972 Munich Games.
"I am too young to remember them personally, but I know who they [the slain Israeli athletes] were and it was disappointing not to acknowledge them at the opening ceremony," Raonic said after his Rogers Cup opening match.
Meanwhile, Canadian tennis great Lorne Main, who won what was then called the Canadian Open doubles title in 1951 and 1954, felt that American Jewish tennis great Dick Savitt, whom he competed against when Savitt won both Wimbledon and the Australian Open in 1951, was a victim of antisemitism when he was not selected to play in the Davis Cup for the United States in the 1951 final against Australia, which the Aussies won.
"Savitt was the best American player in his time and was snubbed by Davis Cup captain Frank Shields in favor of Ted Schroeder, who failed to win a match in the final. It was obvious to me, and the players of the era, that Savitt was not selected because he is Jewish," Main said. Savitt retired from competitive tennis following his exclusion from the Davis Cup team.
Main, 82, was inducted into the Rogers Cup Hall Of Fame prior to the start of the men's semifinal round. He's the world senior champion for the over-80 age group.

2004 Toyota Corolla
Toyota Corolla is among the best of the compact sedans. It's reliable and thrifty, but it's also refined and comfortable. Some have described it as a baby Camry or a baby Lexus, the latter particularly true with a Corolla LE equipped with the optional leather interior.
Cloth or leather, the seats are comfortable and supportive. Big heating and air conditioning controls, simple, straightforward radio controls, well-designed cup holders, and plenty of cubbies for storing stuff make for a convenient interior. Getting in and out of this four-door sedan is easy and the back seat is surprisingly roomy and comfortable.
The four-cylinder engine revs smoothly and delivers good acceleration performance. Corolla earns an EPA-estimated 32/40 mpg City/Highway when equipped with a manual transmission. Both the manual and the automatic transmissions offer smooth shifting, and the manual is very easy to operate. All models have a smooth, comfortable ride and offer response handling. Corolla earned the New Car Test Drive editor's choice for best compact sedan for 2003 and is likely to retain that title for 2004.
Redesigned and re-engineered for 2003, the Toyota Corolla is relatively unchanged for 2004.
Model Lineup
Toyota Corolla comes in one body style, a four-door sedan (not counting the Matrix, which is reviewed separately). All Corollas come with a 1.8-liter four-cylinder 16-valve engine and a choice of a manual or automatic transmission Three trim levels are available: the base CE, the S, and the luxurious LE.
CE ($13,570 or 14,370 with automatic) comes standard with air conditioning (with an air filter), AM/FM/CD stereo system, power steering, tilt steering column, tachometer, intermittent wipers, digital clock, outside temperature gauge, trunk lamp, and a dome light with delay.
S ($14,515 with manual gearbox, $15,315 with automatic transmission) features sporty styling cues such as smoked headlight lens extenders, integrated fog lamps, and an aerodynamic body package with color-keyed front and rear underbody spoilers, rocker panel extensions, and rear mud guards. It also gets wider 195/65R15 tires. Inside, the S gets a unique cloth interior, a sporty tachometer, chrome accents, and a nice leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob. The S model gets a vertical seat-height, power door locks, power mirrors, and mirror-mounted map lights. Power windows with keyless entry are available as an optional package.
LE ($14,780 manual; $15,580 automatic) adds remote keyless entry, power windows, halogen headlamps, and variable intermittent wipers. The LE gets body-colored door handles, lacks the sporty body cladding of the S and looks the better for it. In place of the S model's sporty interior finish, the LE gets wood-like trim and upgraded cloth seating surfaces. An optional leather package ($900) is available for the LE that gives the car a luxurious feel and includes cruise control. Aluminum wheels ($390) are available, which improve the appearance of the LE and may improve its handling slightly.
Options you should be sure to get are the anti-lock brakes with electronic brake-force distribution ($300) and side-impact airbags ($250), both of which can save lives and reduce injuries in an accident. Other options include cruise control ($250) and a sunroof ($750).
The Toyota Corolla looks like a small Camry. Its ovoid headlights are similar and its rakish yet curved shape is in keeping with the newest Camry and Lexus ES 300. Thick A-pillars at the front and thick C-pillars at the rear give the Corolla a solid look and hefty bumpers add to its substantial appearance.
Corolla comes standard with 15-inch steel wheels, but looks like it could do with larger wheels and tires that would fill out the wheel wells more effectively. Aluminum 15-inch wheels ($390) are an option for LE models.
At the rear, the Corolla has a high trunk line in keeping with the car's high belt line. The taillights match the shape of the headlights nicely. Part of the taillight module is actually mounted in the trunk lid. This is fine except that the design causes the trunk lid to be narrower than it might be.
The doors have reasonably wide openings, which makes getting in and out easier. That's a benefit of the long wheelbase, which also means that the rear wheel wells do not protrude into the rear door as much as they do on some cars. Another benefit of a longer wheelbase is shorter overhangs at the front and rear (the distance from the wheels to the ends of the car). Short overhangs improve the car's looks, and the handling.
Redesigned for 2003, Toyota Corolla is longer and taller than previous models. (It is four inches longer and has a 102-inch wheelbase that is more than five inches longer than pre-2003 models. It's more than three inches taller while having the same width as the old model.)
Exterior trim sets the S apart as the sporty model, with body-colored side rocker panels, rear skirt, and front spoiler with integrated fog lights. These aerodynamic aids suggest added downforce for improved cornering, but they look tacked on and we think they degrade the appearance of the Corolla S.
Interior Features
The interior is where the Corolla really shines. Inside, it doesn't feel like a small car, and it doesn't feel cheap, like many compacts feel. Big and/or tall people will find the accommodations somewhat cramped, but shorter people may find the Corolla fits them perfectly.
There's plenty of front legroom and headroom and there's a decent amount of room in the back for two average-size adults. Although there are seat belts for a third rear-seat passenger, there's definitely a shortage of space for that person.
Materials used in the seats appear classy with nice fit and finish. The driver's seat has a much more substantial feel than in many cars in this price range, which makes it more comfortable for long journeys. Even the doors shut with a pleasant thud thanks to sound deadening felt mounted inside the door panels.
Take a look inside a Corolla LE with optional leather seating and you could easily imagine you're looking inside a luxury car instead of a $17,000 compact. The leather seats have a luxurious soft pleated finish, while the center console and door panels have a wood-like veneer trim. Okay it's fake but it's so well made that it looks more realistic than some real wood found in luxury cars. Both the LE and S models get a sporty leather-wrapped steering wheel that adds to the enjoyment of driving the Corolla.
The dashboard layout is the same on all models. It is nicely laid out with exemplary ergonomics and a finish comparable to that of more expensive cars. Its top surface sweeps across the width of the car in a slight S-curve and wraps into the door trim. Each side of the center console seamlessly blends up to the lower portion of the dash. Four small vents are nicely inlaid into the upper part of the dash.
The radio is located high up so it is easy to reach while the three large round knobs for the heating and air conditioning system are located below. The handle for the parking brake is located on the left of the center console so there's room for a small storage cubbyhole on the right. Storage spaces are quite generous with small pockets in each door and the glove box is large. Map lights on Corolla S and LE are mounted on the rearview mirror, not the ideal location.
Three overlapping round gauges in the instrument pod contain a large speedometer, a smaller tachometer to the left and a water temperature gauge and fuel gauge mounted in a matching circle to the right. They incorporate red lettering on a plain white background and are easy to read at night. There's also an outside temperature readout on all models.
The rear seats split 60/40 to allow access from the trunk, though the opening is not that large, limiting pass-through with large cargo. The trunk is one of the biggest in this class. The gooseneck hinges intrude into the cargo space and can crush fragile items if they are in the way. Many auto manufacturers have switched to the scissor-type hinges that are located outside the storage space, though this design often results in a smaller trunk opening.
All in all, the interior has a high level of refinement beyond what one expects in a low cost sub-compact.
On the safety side all Corollas come with multi-stage front airbags, while side-impact airbags ($250) are offered as an option on all models. All seat belts are not created equal, and those in the Corolla are equipped with pretensioners and force limiters, which can help further reduce injuries in an accident.
Driving Impressions
The Toyota Corolla is smooth, convenient, and easy to drive. For many owners, this car quickly fades into the background, allowing them to focus on other aspects of their lives. It's hard to find faults with this car.
Okay, it's only got a 130-horsepower four-cylinder engine so its acceleration performance is not scintillating. But it accelerates briskly onto freeways and we never found ourselves beating on the steering wheel, wishing for more power. The engine is quiet, however, and feels smooth and refined. It has a fairly broad power band, making for nice, linear acceleration. There is no difference in engine, transmission or suspension between the three trim levels; despite the S model being designated a sporty trim level.
The electronically controlled four-speed automatic transmission is nicely matched with the engine. It includes a shift logic system that helps hold a gear longer than it might otherwise if it senses the car is going up an incline or the driver wants plenty of power while passing. For those who enjoy doing their own shifting, the five-speed manual allows for more performance as the engine's power can be better utilized. It shifts easily via a relatively tall shifter. Both the gearbox and clutch are smooth and easy to operate. The manual transmission earns an EPA-estimated 32/40 mpg City/Highway, while the automatic gets 30/38 mpg.
The power steering is just right, providing a nice feel without being too stiff or sloppy. The suspension has been tuned to give a smooth ride, which is helped by a relatively long wheelbase. Body roll (lean) is minimal and the car feels secure and stable at all speeds. The suspension is soft and does a good job of soaking up bumps and road vibration, giving the Corolla a nice, smooth ride that we really liked. The Corolla handles well, though those who enjoy the crisp handling of a sports sedan may want to opt for the Matrix, which has a stiffer suspension.
Toyota Corolla is the car to consider if you're looking for a sophisticated and utterly reliable sub-compact sedan that blends in so well it's almost non-existent. It's not too much of a stretch to say the Corolla is a baby Lexus, it certainly has the same DNA.
The Corolla boasts a high-quality, ergonomically excellent interior with comfortable, supportive seats. The interior is particularly well suited for shorter drivers. The rear seats are roomy and relatively comfortable and the trunk is big for this class.
The Corolla rides and handles well with a relatively soft suspension. It isn't a sports sedan, but the engine is smooth and sophisticated and delivers good acceleration performance. In short, the Corolla is arguably the best compact sedan for non-enthusiasts.

What I Learned About My Own Daily Life From The Latest North Korean Propaganda Video
from the pigeons-are-delicious deptUpdate: As pointed out in the comments... this is a hoax. The video is real, but the translation is made up for the sake of comedy value. Considering that Monday is April Fool's Day, where a bunch of people are going to be trying to fool others, let's just consider this a "lesson learned" and hope that we're not repeating this message again on April Fool's posts... Original post below...
I find myself in the peculiar position of having to congratulate one of my old nemeses in writing for Techdirt, North Korea. I would have thought, after having described their previous attempts at producing propaganda videos, one of which included Elder Scrolls music and the other Call Of Duty footage, that they had exhausted the human limits for laugh-inducing hilarity. As it turns out, if I'm to believe the translator of the following video, these were merely warm up acts for the true star of North Korean humor, which details daily life in America.
Now, should a mere YouTube video reach the limits of your workplace's filtering device, or that of your country, allow me to present to you some of the things I learned about my own life thanks to this wonderfully produced video.
1. All of America is covered in snow, which is a good thing because apparently all American coffee is somehow made from snow.Now, should you be of the same mind as I in that you're beginning to wonder why you can't recall all of these moments in your daily life, it is useful to remember that North Korea is a country which has a dead person as its President. This is not an exaggeration. As you can see for yourself, while Kim Jong-un is indeed the country's First Chairman, neither he nor his father ever held the office of President of North Korea. That position was, and to this day is, filled by Jong-un's grandfather, Kim Il-sung, who has been dead for nearly two decades, but holds the office of "Eternal President".
2. Americans, by and large, live in tents and spend all of our money buying guns to kill children.
3. There are no longer birds in America, because they have all been eaten by the gun-toting tent-dwellers.
4. It is common in modern-day America for our tents to have caved in roofs (?), but we are still proud of our tents, as well as our Green Bay Packers Starter jackets.
5. Before we stray away from our tents, note that all of them are built with supplies donated to us by North Korea.
6. Before we stray away from our propensity to eat birds, note that the most common day for the eating of birds is Tuesday.
7. Homeless people, in general, are former Republican candidates from Oregon.
8. America is very grateful to our government for the 1 cup of snow-coffee handout we all receive daily, after which we resume bird-eating and child-killing activities.
I submit that no amount of pigeon-eating or tent-dwelling can hold a candle the level of crazy required to have a zombie President.

The Black Book Game (Online)
Have just played this Game, it's really creative and much enjoyable! Thanks, JAG! (Thumb Up~)
The following is my second trial, the first time I just didn't how to operate and afterwards discovered that I should use my mouse to compose and use the keyboard spacebar to shoot. I managed to shoot many shots but still have some of the quota left (maximum 70). Well, below is my published magazine! Have a look!
Enjoy and Have Fun! :-D

Dozens of passengers aboard a Greyhound bus traveling from New York to Washington, D.C. found themselves unexpectedly stranded at a Delaware rest stop for hours because of weather delays.
The bus departed New York at 1:30 a.m. Monday, just as snow was beginning to pile up in the region, creating some difficult driving conditions.
Passengers say that around 4 a.m., the driver of the bus pulled over at a rest stop in Newark, Del., got off the bus, and left the passengers behind.
U.S. & World
The driver told NBC10's Tim Furlong that he had reached his government-mandated hours limit, so he went into the rest stop to wait for another driver to show up. The passengers were left waiting on the bus for five hours.
One passenger said she was upset that the driver left them sitting for so long, but even more frustrated with Greyhound's neglect to plan ahead.
"He abandoned us. He left," the passenger said. "The weather reports are everywhere. You see that this could happen, have people set up and spaced out so that in case this does happen, people can still do what they need to do."
Passengers say the driver left the bus idling and showed them the button to open and close the bus' door before he left.
According to a spokesman from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration in the Department of Transportation, federal regulations prohibit bus drivers from being on duty for more than 15 hours per day. In addition, bus drivers can only be behind the wheel of a bus for a total of 10 hours, after which they are required to take a mandatory eight-hour break before driving again.
It has not been confirmed how long the first driver had been behind the wheel before stopping at the rest stop.
A new driver arrived to the rest stop around 12:30 p.m. on Monday -- some eight hours after they first pulled over.
Greyhound officials did not admit fault, but told NBC10 that the snowy weather hampered its operations and that the company is working with the passengers.
The bus continued en route to D.C. with a bus new driver just before 1 p.m. Monday afternoon.

Is the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano HGTE too tame for you? Ferrari is reportedly prepping a Ferrari 599 GTO combining 599xx-inspired looks, 700 HP and one classic name.
The Ferrari 250 GTO is revered amongst the Maranello faithful, meaning any 599 carrying the name needs power, style, and at least the illusion of exclusivity. Power should come in the form of the stock V12, which puts out a raucous 611 HP already, tuned to 700 HP. Style is said to be inspired by the wild 599xx Concept. And exclusivity? The GTO will probably be limited to just 500 units approaching $400K a piece.
Of course, all this is based on a report from autogespot saying Ferrari is taking pre-orders for a car named "Ferrari 599 GTO Limited Edition."
Considering mint GTOs go for over $5 million at auction, this is as close as your average millionaire may get.

Toyota RAV4 Leasing vs Financing Dunning Toyota near Canton 48188
One of the hardest questions to answer when looking to upgrade your vehicle is whether to finance or lease. Both have their benefits, but both have their restrictions, too. Not to fret, though! Dunning Toyota is here to shed some light with our comparison on leasing vs financing a Dunning Toyota, Toyota RAV4 near Canton 48188. Our knowledgeable salespeople and Business Managers are also well-equipped to answer any questions, so please don't hesitate to give us a call, or visit our showroom!
Sometimes deciding between the two methods of car buying can be simple. Ask yourself two questions. The first is how often are you interested in upgrading? Leases tend to last between two to four years, which can be great if you like always having the latest and greatest tech and are a pro at keeping your car in good condition. While upgrading relatively frequently is possible while taking the finance route, it can be more tedious due to depreciation and reselling your current vehicle. If you're the kind of person who comes to loves your ride and keeps it for longer than four years, stick to financing. You'll get more bang for your buck. If you come to love your lease, though, you can continue to pay it off and keep your vehicle as long as you want!
What's the second question you should ask yourself in this decision between leasing vs financing your Dunning Toyota, Toyota RAV4 near Canton 48188? It's a question that might require a calculator! How many miles do you drive per year? This will heavily affect your decision. If you commute a fair distance to work every day, exceeding 15,000 miles or more, leasing a vehicle will come with a heftier total cost. Financing allows you to drive as many miles as you want, whereas leases come with a set amount and every additional mile will cost extra money out of your wallet. If you take the train every day and use your vehicle primarily just for running errands, leasing is ideal. You only pay for depreciation while you use it, so the fewer miles your wheels roll, the less you have to pay. Dealers get the vehicle back and are usually able to certify these low mileage vehicles and re-sell them. It's a win-win situation!
Weighing the pros and cons in the debate between leasing vs financing near Canton, can be frustrating. Come on down to Dunning Toyota near Canton 48188 and our staff is more than happy to talk it all out with you. We can even run some numbers and see which system will work best for you and your lifestyle! We hope to see you soon!

Release Date: 2013 |
Album Rating: 2.0Cannot understand this review at all. This is the sort of record I've always feared Frank would make. Every other line is a clanger, the instrumentation is woefully uninspired and he even tries to do a falsetto. I can't understand how anyone who genuinely loved EKMB or LI&S could think this was anything more than a 3/5.
Album Rating: 3.0super review channing
this is rly good gonna jam it at work now
Album Rating: 3.5 | Sound OffIt's interesting that you mention the similarities to The Counting Crows because I believe he played some songs with them when they were touring here a couple of months ago. He covered one of their songs at his show here too.
Album Rating: 1.5Nice review although I completely disagree with it
Album Rating: 3.0a 1.5 r u srs

Still on the fence about this, but it sure has some great songs.

Cracking review as I'd expect, totally agree
Now there are too many good reviews for this, I don't think I'll bother submitting mine.
Excellent, as always. I can't settle on my rating yet, but anyone who even tries to say this album "isn't Frank" is definitely off their rocker. I think he's becoming more himself with each release...if that makes sense.

Submit it pal, I'd like to see how you formed your opinions, and mine was fairly amateurish anyway
england keep my bones is like a tenth as good as love ire & song. which is really not that good either
Album Rating: 4.5Album is really really good
"Frank's music is the truth, or as close to the truth as I've heard"
problem i have with him is that he's fake.
Album Rating: 4.0 | Sound Off"problem i have with him is that he's fake."
I've heard this a few times and I don't understand it at all. People say he "pretends to be punk" too but I really don't think he does these days, he's getting older and more mature and is leaving that part of him behind and it shows (and his lyrics suggest as much). The only song on the last two albums that even has hints of the "folk punk" shtick people pin on him is Four Simple Words. One of the reasons I like him so much is because, like the review says, he "melt[s] away the facades and pretensions until all that remains is good music". Simple, honest, unpretentious, and solid as hell.
I don't understand this "fake" argument either. What proof exists that he's disingenuous?
I'm an expert at hating things other people like and I honestly have no idea.
if i didn't particularly like four simple words and recovery, will i still get anything out of this?
