Andy Rubin shows a new Android based device, built by "on of our [Google's] partners" to a BBC-reporter.
I have to say, that I never expected Android to run at such amazing speed on a CPU with just 300 Mhz, what is about the half of a iPhone. Everything is absolutely fluent. The WebKit based browser developers only know from their emulators looks really intuitive to use.
This reference phone is not just capable of touch, but also features a track-ball.
Andy Rubin also shows Google StreetView running on the device. This is a mobile first -- StreetView has not been ported to any other mobile platform before.


It's almost time for the rematch! Watch #CaneloGGG2 LIVE on online PPV.

In my opinion MGK used Eminem's whole style against him and it was fire. It was tactical in such a way it made any response Em would put out feel watered down. Em did not respond to so many things MGK called him out on either. He side stepped it with the usual Oscar The Grouch.
Guys! My friend reached out to me about a girl named IDORENYIN OSCAR that put up a suicidal post on WhatsApp last night and they've not been able to reach her since then. Her IG handle is @idee_oscar and FB- Idorenyin Oscar. She stays in Abuja. PLEASE RT!!
Something I realized entirely too late: Oscar season kills all great things. It really does. There is nothing particularly beneficial about it. There are too many critics, too many bloggers, too much coverage. I can't find a single good thing about it right now. Someone tell me.
This is Willow & Oscar. It's what you can get when your wife sells your 1991 Charade for scrap.

I thought you could buy skins of Officers in their Clone armor. This skin / model could be unique for all legions.
By default it could be Commander Bly's armor.
Just imagine this skin / model with its respective Legion skins. I think it would be pretty good, and of course of course also add something from the saga, like the Gree skins.
What do you think? Will we ever have Officer skins for the clone army?
I was going to add a snarky and dark comment about clones and a shortage of willing boots on the ground.
But maybe why not give them armor, after all they could go helmet less and still do their duty as officers (Helmet less so as to differentiate them from the rank-and-file) give them an Arcs Pauldrons and a protective Kama around the waist.
I agree that the Clone Officers need to be armored. But I don't like the idea of the officers wearing the armor of each legion's respective commander.
Officers should be in armour, however they should not resemble the unique armour of established Clone Commanders.
For the Officer, put as a model to follow, Commander Bly (unique model for all legions) but depending on the legion, this will only change the painting (skin), strictly speaking it will remain the same model.

Secure access with key cards issued only with valid ID by La Copa Inn Beach Hotel. Each unit has a unique lock with deadbolt. Maintenance, management, and service staff are available on call, 24/7. This condo is centrally located on South Padre Island close to all of the best dining and entertainment SPI has to offer! The South Padre Island Metro is a free bus service that gets you within steps of most areas on South Padre Island. The island also has a "Park and Ride" facility on the South of town. Gulf Blvd., where these condos are located, is also very bike friendly. Please note that parking is limit to two vehicles per unit in the condo driveway. Each unit's parking space will be denoted. You must display your parking permit prominently inside your vehicle (preferably on the inside mirror or dashboard). These permits are available at check-in.
The place was stunning and spacious. The pictures were extremely accurate. Perfect vacation for a family!!
This condo was amazing! My family absolutely loved it. This beachfront property had everything you could possibly need. The interior is very luxurious and spacious. Two of my kids preferred to stay inside most of the time we were there because it was so nice. I was impressed with everything. The lighting, the air conditioning, the appliances, the DirecTV channels, the fully stocked kitchen ware, and even the shampoos were very nice. The place was very clean and the furniture was beautiful. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking. This place was perfect for our family vacation and was very relaxing. If we should come back to South Padre Island, this is where we will be staying again.
Beautiful condo at a premium location with everything you need for a great stay. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
The apartment is great and very spacious. The beds were very comfortable, it was somewhat of a challenge to regulate the temperature in the apartment but nothing too serious. Everything seem to qork fine, a team of cleaning people comes everyday and in no time they finish all the tidyying up. Great experience in general!! My only feedback would be that at check in you need to give each renter a layout of the parking lot and specify where they are allowed to park. Every single day someone parked on our space.
I really enjoyed my stay here and it was a great Birthday get away with friends. Upon arrival Maintenon workers were busy keeping both the inside and outside property maintained. The pictures have the condo no justice because it was a lot bigger than it showed. The beach was basically outside my door and made the feel of the condo even more luxurious. I am definitely going to stay here again and have already begun telling my friends and family. This was my first time using this app and it was well worth it.
Great place to vacation. The house was clean, quiet, and cozy. Team Copa customer service was number one.
This will be our new "go to" place for SPI!!!
Quick and courteous host. The condo was spectacular...clean, spacious, and beautifully decorated. Beach access and a pool were icing on the cake for our visit. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.
My extended family stayed in this condo for two weeks. It's just as beautiful as it looks in the photos - spacious, clean, and quiet. The view to the ocean is breathtaking, and the courtyard pool was wonderful. We shared the pool with another renter and family and there was plenty of room for all of us. The walk down to the beach was great and the beach in front of the condo was generally not crowded. The beds are comfortable and having a bathroom for each bedroom was really great. The kitchen lacked a few utensils for baking and cooking but we got what we needed. The TVs are gorgeous. We had an issue with the living room TV the first night but it was fixed quickly. Another plus was the free hot breakfast at the hotel La Copa Inn that owns? manages? this property - it's a short drive away and the breakfast was made to order and delicious. All in all a wonderful stay and we would highly recommend it!
Great place to stay! Everything was better than I expected and I enjoyed everything about my visit there!
Definitely not the last time I'll be staying with Team La Copa. I will keep taking advantage of their great condos at reasonable prices. They go out of their way to make sure everything is right so that you can enjoy your vacation.
Go straight through the hotel to book, great service.
Most cumbersome check in process I have used to date. We took the detailed directions to unit, only to realize we drove past the separate location that we needed to check into. (Hidden by Airbnb) maps had problems guiding me to the second location and if anything it would have been nice to have written instruction to get to the check out location. I went to check in and it seems they were not sure if the unit was still available for me and just left the front desk for 20 minutes to check on it. They got it all sorted out and let me know the unit was ready and gave me my key cards. Once we got there, the unit was great. Bigger than we expected and not too crowded when we were there. The beach access was nice and our part of the beach was nearly empty during the week. The unit next door had some construction during the day, but the unit was well insulated and it did not bother us. Maybe bring an extension cord as we found no way to plug any any items near the living room TV.
The La Copa Condo was phenomenal! We had not taken a vacation in years and we're so blessed to have found this place on AIRBNB. We also never used AirBNB either, but it was very easy, affordable and very informative. The condo itself looks nice from the outside, but the magic is in how they finished off the interior. There's granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, high end leather furniture with ample seating, plush beds, large windows, a lot of utensils for cooking, large screen flat-screen TVs in every room, beautifully finished bathrooms, nice flooring...this place most definitely exceeded our expectations! We spent a lot of time in the private pool which was great when the beach was too windy. There's a private outdoor shower to remove sand when you've been at the beach, a nice peer to walk you to the beach (we actually had professional pictures taken on the peer it was so nice) and BBQ pits outside (we grilled burgers and hot dogs). We had an absolute blast and I would definitely recommend this condo to our friends and family looking for a great extended stay in South Padre!
Wonderful location. The ocean is your backyard. Apartments are very well equipped. There is a local HEB supermarket and Walmart about five miles away to buy groceries and make all meals at the apartment. Enjoy ocean or time in the pool. Very spacious and far bigger than I expected.
The house is gorgeous! The location is perfect, right on the beach w very easy direct access. I would definitely stay there again.
We shared this condo with friends on vacation and we loved it! The place was much nicer then the photos depicted. We loved how modern the furniture and decor was and enjoyed the easy access to the pool and the beach! We can't wait to stay here again. We highly recommend this place.
Great home but set up was more like a hotel instead of home. On the same note, we did have cleaning service each day of our stay which was a plus! The condo is nice and modern, with plenty of room. The vehicle parking is private and easy to get in and out We stayed on the first level which gave easy access to the pool and their private walkway to the beach! We will definitely come back for another family vacation!!!
Really nice location and super easy access to a nice section of beach. Even more space than expected, and even high-end touches in elements like flooring, bedding, bathrooms, etc than anticipated. However, MUCH darker in the main living area and master bedroom than one would expect for a beachfront property due to full, and dark, UV blocking filters on windows and light-blocking curtains set up to only expose 1/3 of sliding glass doors that provide view to beach. No way to even tie the curtains back or see actual unfiltered light (like you're looking through dark sunglasses) unless you open the door and just keep the screen pulled (which feels wasteful of A/C and electricity). Also, significant issue with footsteps and noise from residents in condo above. You hear what sounds like constant running when they're just moving around - and in our case that woke all of us up on a number of occasions. Finally, beach view is there, but not exactly in plain view, as you're still looking past patio, pool, and thick railing of shared patio, which often will have other residents only about 10 feet from your back door talking, swimming, hanging out, etc. Overall, a pleasant general experience and location, but not one I can fully recommend given some of the issues above and the cost. Also know that you won't even deal directly with hosts as check-in is at a local hotel a few miles away. Not much like other AirBnB experiences where I felt a connection with property owners, but the people I interacted with were friendly and courteous.
I loved the house very much. extremely spacious for our family! I loved it so much i plan to stay there again this summer. The only problem was the pet hair that was all over. Im guessing the past guest had a white dog that shed a lot. My son has pet hair allergies so that was problematic. other than that the place was wonderful!
Fantastic place to stay. The condo was much bigger than I thought it would be. We brought along are own beach towels and there is a washer and dryer to keep them clean. The views from the ground floor are fantastic and the beach is just steps away.
Great place! loved the location. We would stay there again!
Fantastic location with private access to the beach. The condo is spacious and finishes are nice. As others have mentioned foot steps can be heard from units above so that can be a little noisy. Shampoo, conditioner, and body lotion provided but we did find it odd that no hand soap or body wash was provided. Check in process was a little different, you have to travel to a separate location to pickup hotel style card keys to gain access to the condos. I was told during check in to call a property manager when we wanted to check out and I was never able to get into contact with one, I did leave a message and get into contact with the main La Copa Vacations line. Overall a pretty great stay!
This place was great. It was huge. It was very well kept and a great location on the beach. Nicest condo we have ever stayed at. This is the only place we will stay at in SPI ever again.
This place is super spacious and convenient. You can comfortably fit a whole family in here. Great place!
Love this place and we will be back!
Loved backing onto the beach and the huge outdoor patio overlooking the beach; loved the modern kitchen; loved the huge indoor flat-screen TV's; loved being minutes away from our fishing guide's marina and all the good restaurants; loved the easy check-in and check-out. Also, the pool was spotlessly clean with lots of seating a several gas grills. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!!!
Great place - lots of space, modern, clean, right on the beach. Hard to beat!
Excellent location, with daily housekeeping, an added plus. We were in the ground floor unit, which we requested. Due to the layout of the building (car port on the bay side of the unit) this unit only gets light from the gulf side and can seem a little dark. I suspect that the upper floors, with balconies on both sides, would seem brighter. Extremely spacious unit and a good value in my opinion. Would rent it again on a future trip to the Island.
Team La Copa did a great job of hosting a group I took to South Padre for a few days. The condo was in excellent condition and just as amazing, if not better, as the photos. Easily recommend this location to anyone desiring a stay in that area.

Q: Unable to use Box API Enterprise API with OAuth2 authenticated app What I understand is Enterprise API from Box works only with server-server JWT auth and not like OAuth2 based authentication.
Box integrations which haveOAuth2 based authentication support only Content API and not the Enterprise API.
Is there way to have OAuth & Ebterprise API at the same time? (I essentially want to manage users & groups any third party enterprise)
Any thoughts/pointers? Thanks in advance!

A:
What I understand is Enterprise API from Box works only with server-server JWT auth and not like OAuth2 based authentication.

This is not correct, though I can see how you could arrive at that understanding. You can work with the Box Enterprise API using traditional 3-Legged OAuth. In fact, for many years 3-Legged OAuth was the only way to work with the Box API.
In order for a 3-Legged OAuth access token to make Enterprise API calls:

*

*The appropriate Enterprise scopes must be selected in the app configuration.

*The token must have been issued for a user with enterprise admin/co-admin privileges.

The relationship between JWT auth and the Enterprise API is one of convenience. Enterprise API apps are often non-interactive server-side scripts and/or scaled out to multiple processes. In these scenarios JWT is much easier to work with than 3-Legged OAuth.

[Review] Purple Dino - And Now What?!
HomeReviews[Review] Purple Dino - And Now What?!
Almost four years have passed since Purple Dino's debut release "Jurassic Bar" (June 2014) and it was about time for a second full album.
All this time the band got busy working on new compositions and made a bunch of live appearances inside Greece and in the Balkans.
Typically, such a long period of time should under 'normal' circumstances, be enough for a band to get productive and release at least one album, if not two. The thing about Purple Dino is that in many cases the circumstances were anything but normal.
Recently they parted ways with their second guitarist "Haris". "Pavlos", their vocalist in 'Demosaurus' and 'Jurassic Bar' which was also their second guitarist for a considerable amount of time, left the band about a year ago and "Kosmas" filled that gap... These are some of the changes Purple Dino lately went through, not to mention the ones before those. Fortunately, the "core" of the band (Doukas: guitar, Mitsos: drums, Stefanos: bass) has been the same for quite some time and that's positive but all those changes mentioned above must have had a significant impact on the songwriting and recording process regarding "And Now What?!".
Purple Dino have been around since 2013, they've evolved a lot since "day 1" and there are two ways to see this: the first is to catch them live, the second and easiest way is to listen to their new album "And Now What?!".
Clearly, the addition of "Kosmas" as a vocalist gave a whole new dynamic to the band and much more potential. No matter if it's a slow, melodic part of a song or a strong, powerful, heavy outburst "Kosmas" is there to deliver and there's no doubt that his addition to the band brought "Purple Dino" a lot of steps forward. That's a remarkable achievement for both the band and Kosmas himself whose voice abilities can vary from mellow, melodic, bluesy singing to more "heavyrock-ish", grungy style.
It seems that three and half years were more than enough for Purple Dino to clear their minds and conclude that their style 'deserves' a sound and a production like the one in this release. The production is a whole bunch of levels higher than the one in the debut album and has a very clear direction, a characteristic that was missing from the debut, while the compositions flow a lot more naturally.
It was more than obvious (especially in their live gigs) that Purple Dino were seesawing between heavy rock and a more groovy, metal attitude, never being quite obvious which 'mood' they preferred most and probably this came to be a sort of an 'identity' for the band. It was like the band was struggling to surface in the mishmash-sea of their members' different influences. Probably, that situation generated some 'musical conflicts' or contradictions that had to be sorted out and it's clear that the in case of "And Now What?!" they were indeed.
There is a chance that someone will say there are moments where the 7-track album sounds a bit disjointed and that's somehow reasonable for one to think, especially if this 'someone' hasn't been keeping track of the band or never caught them live. Purple Dino never tried to strictly define their genre and imho they shouldn't try to do so, at least if they don't feel like doing it. Experimentation, genre-blending and passion are the means that when combined they can lead to great results.
Purple Dino have worked a lot to deliver a quite groovy release, they even took the track "Today" from their demo release and created the whole new different track "2day".
However, what I am really missing in this release is the heavy rock attitude and the desert atmosphere that was dominant in some of the debut's tracks such as "Jack and the mosquitoes", "Intergalactic Libido" and "B.D.O" and I surely hope they will bring some of this atmosphere back, in their future releases.
to those who already like Purple Dino: this album will occupy your playlists a lot more than Jurassic Bar. Grooooove!!!
to those that now learned about Purple Dino: don't expect a masterpiece. Listen to the album, check their debut, compare them.
The release is scheduled for Thursday 14 December 2017.
Purple Dino have already scheduled some live gigs in order to promote their upcoming album. Check their facebook page for more info.

What is the format of the test?
The MCCKAP examination is presented as a four-hour, timed multiple-choice test with accompanying graphics, including diagnostic imaging, monitoring waveforms and photomicrographs. One un-timed break is allowed during the examination. The examination is given in English.
Will special hardware or software be needed for the test?
The examination requires a reliable, high-speed Internet connection. Review the system requirements tab for details.
Once the test is purchased, how is it accessed?
About one week before examination week begins, the test administrator will receive e-mail notification that a link to the exam, titled "2019 MCCKAP Examination," has been added to his/her MySCCM.org webpage. This email also will contain the system requirements for the examination and instructions on how to enroll fellows. Please note that all examination information will be sent to the e-mail address provided when ordering the test.
How are fellows enrolled in the test?
Once the test administrator successfully logs in to MySCCM.org and accesses the link to the examination, he/she will be brought to the Test Administration webpage. On this webpage, each fellow's name and corresponding e-mail address must be entered. From this webpage, the test administrator can send each fellow an e-mail containing the login information for the test. Test dates and times are set at the discretion of administrators and are scheduled outside of the examination link. Fellows within a program do not need to take the test simultaneously; hence, the login emails can be sent as needed.
How is the test administered?
All examinations should be administered in a proctored environment, a setting that will best prepare participants for the subspecialty board examination.
Will there be technical assistance available during exam week?
Yes. Technical assistance will be available between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Central Time, Monday through Friday, during the examination timeframe. The phone number and e-mail address of technical support personnel will be sent to test administrators.

These results may be printed, sent to an e-mail address, or both. Final results will be available approximately five weeks after examination week.
What information is included in the preliminary reports?
Preliminary reports include a comprehensive score, as well as scores by knowledge area or category. These results are considered preliminary until the key is validated by the MCCKAP Committee, which will occur shortly after the examination closes. Validation is an important step, ensuring that items with questionable performance statistics are reviewed before final scores are calculated. Generally, few items are affected by the key validation so the preliminary results should closely approximate the final results.

Campaigners raise £65,000 for legal challenge to women's state pension changes
A campaign group fighting controversial changes to the women's state pension age has so far raised over £65,000 in a bid to crowdfund a legal challenge against the Government.
The appeal by Women Against State Pension Inequality (WASPI) was launched on Tuesday after new Pensions Minister Richard Harrington last month vowed not to compromise on the issue, insisting the Government "will be making no further changes in this field".
At the time, WASPI's Jane Cowley told MoneySavingExpert.com that the minister's comments had "galvanised women into wanting to fight on".
Changes in the pension age mean women born in the 1950s will have to wait longer than expected to receive their state pensions, and many say they weren't given enough notice to prepare, or weren't notified at all.
WASPI was formed to demand arrangements including a 'bridging pension' for those caught out by the changes.
In a statement on its crowdfunding page, the group said: "WASPI has campaigned extensively to get the Government to accept that they need to take action to rectify the wrongs done to these women, but to date the Government has refused to do so.
"As a result, WASPI now needs to explore the opportunities for one or more legal challenges. It is being advised by top London law firm Bindmans, who consider that there are important legal rights at stake."
It added that appeal funds would be used "to get the best advice from a QC and prepare materials to assist with maladministration complaints [ie, complaints about administrative failings]".
The group is considering whether to launch a judicial review challenging the legality of the Government's pensions changes.
At the time of writing, the campaigners are well on the way to achieving their £75k 'stretch' target, having met the original £50k target within a day of launching the appeal.
We've contacted the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) for comment and will update this story when it responds.
Why will some women lose out under the state pension changes?
There are two separate increases of the state pension age currently underway...
Under the 1995 Pensions Act, the Government decided the pension ages of men and women would be made the same by 2020. Previously, women retired at 60 and men at 65.
In 2011 the state pension age for men and women was raised to 66.
These changes mean women born after 5 April 1950 will receive their state pensions later than expected – in some cases six years later.
Many women who had been expecting to start drawing their state pensions between 2016 and 2020 only found out in 2011 – with the additional change in state pension ages – that they would face a delay.
WASPI organised a petition calling for the Government to compromise on the issue, which was backed by MoneySavingExpert and attracted almost 200,000 signatories. The group maintains that women affected by the changes haven't been left with much time to make alternative plans and that existing retirement plans have been "shattered with devastating consequences".
However, the DWP says it did take appropriate steps to notify women of the changes and insists "all women affected have been directly contacted".
Which age brackets are most affected?
The date on which you'll receive your state pension depends on exactly when you were born – the Government has published full state pension age timetables, but in brief:
Women born after 5 April 1950 are affected by the equalisation of the state pension age to 65 (following the changes in the 1995 Pensions Act).
Women born between 6 April 1953 and 5 October 1954 are affected by both the equalisation of the state pension age to 65 and the rise of the state pension age to 66.
Women born between 6 October 1954 and 5 April 1960 will see their state pension age rise to 66.
The next rise in the state pension age, to 67, will apply to men and women born after 6 March 1961 (and be phased in for those born between 6 April 1960 and 5 March 1961).

In the past, the American Le Mans Series (ALMS) has visited Canadian Tire Motorsport Park (Mosport), with 2014 being the first visit for many drivers and the ex-GrandAm series. After the first practice session, I spoke with many of the drivers and found 10% classified the track as "Ok", commenting that with the traffic and fast corners the race would be interesting; 75% really "liked" the track, and 15% "LOVING IT"!!
The Continental Tire (CT) race was incredible and action packed. If you go to the track only for Tudor, you are doing yourself an injustice. I have said it before, "support series" races deserve more recognition.
While from the drop of the green flag the race was exciting, the last few laps between Eric Foss, Andrew Carbonell, and Remo Ruscitti was worth the price of admission. Where else can you see a Porsche Cayman, BMW 328i, and a Mazda MX-5 battle down to the checkered flag at a great track under sunny skies, eh?
Years ago, a TV commercial campaign asked winning football players, "You just won the Super Bowl, what are you going to do now?" and the classic response was, "Go to Disney World!" Well, if you asked driver Remo Ruscitti, "You just won the CT race, what are you going to do now?" He would say, "Go win two more races in a car I've never driven in before!" I'm betting the Porsche GT3 teams were checking the entry list for Remo's name!
In my Watkins Glen recap, I featured Adam Isman and Remo Ruscitti. On Saturday, the 04 Porsche started in the back due to changing to new tires. This team struggled through two previous heartbreak races to find the podium and win! With little time for celebration, Remo hopped in the 8Star Prototype Lites car and returned to the top step of Victory Lane. Just to make things a little more challenging, on Sunday in the pouring rain, Remo won again in the 8Star car! Hmmm…. So which drivers want me to do a feature on them next? Can I pick talent, or what?
Just when leaving my hotel parking lot on Sunday, the dark cloudy skies started with the pouring rain. By the time I got to the track it was just a drizzle, but the skies were just toying with the race fans. For the morning TUDOR practice and the races of Porsche GT3, Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo and Prototype Lites, the rains continued off and on. But as mysteriously as to why Memo Rojas wrecked on a recon lap, the skies cleared, the sun shone, the birds sang and the fans came out for a great fan walk (where I met two Facebook friends!) and race day. While many teams did their best at a rain dance (Falken tires are better in the rain) the race was dry and full course yellow caution free.
The race was amazing and I was concerned to read so many comments on the number of television commercials during the broadcast. The race fan watching at home missed out on some excellent racing.
When I go to a race, either for the first time or my fifth time, I review the track map and form a plan as to where to watch the majority of the race. When I looked at Mosport, Moss Corner (turn 5a and 5b) intrigued me. With no service road going completely around the track, I drove my rental car along the dusty rough trail on Friday up to turn 8 and 9. On Saturday, I followed the trail along the opposite side of track and noticed good viewing points (with lower fences perfect for photo snapping) at turns 1, 2, 3 on my way to visit race car fans (85_Froggy) camping nearby.
On race day, racing buddy (JumpyBob) and I wondered our way up to Moss Corner, which you can't drive to. There is a parking lot where you leave your car and hike to the hill. It's worth it! It reminded me a bit of spectator hill at Road Atlanta. The tall green trees on the inside of the track provided a picturesque backdrop in which to watch cars approaching up the hill, take the tight right turn at the top, and speed away into the last turn before Mario Andretti Straightaway.
The other interesting spot to watch is pit in. There is no last minute "pit now!" at this track. The entrance of pit road is at the exit of turn 10. On Friday, when I noticed the tight turn in for pit, I really figured on accidents there but the drivers appeared to have it figured out.
Just a few tweaks and this track could be a contender for my favorite. Overall, the track is nestled in very pretty country and everyone was suspiciously friendly. The track workers from entrance gate to parking lot security greeted you with genuine happiness not like they were being paid and instructed to be nice and say, "Good Morning" with forced smile.
This race marked my 50th consecutive GrandAm/IMSA race. On Saturday, I took a break and watched some of the Continental Tire race in the IMSA courtesy tent. I was approached by a guy wearing a white IMSA shirt. I've seen this gentlemen earlier this weekend and at other races but didn't get his name. He asked if I was Vickie. Apparently this white shirt guy just started handling the IMSA twitter account. He mentioned due to social media pressure (aka Michael), he wanted to introduce me to Scott Atherton who was standing outside the tent. Not moving, I replied, "I'm good. I've met him." He continued with, "It will just take a minute and he wants to recognize your 50th race." With a look of "come out to say hello or I will lose my job" in his eyes I said, "Ok". Scott (yea, we are on a first name basis) shook my hand, photos were taken, then Scott asks, "Will there be 50 more?" I said, "No." He did ask why and knowing his time was limited I simply stated, "I missed Grand-Am and I don't like the spilt class races." In my opinion, why merge if the classes aren't going to race together. He replied, "Fair enough", gave me a hug and instructed the white shirt guy to sign me up for a hot lap. Due to track time limitations, there were only six cars allowed on track for one lap each. With six people already signed up, I would only get a lap if there was a no show. I was lucky and someone missed a really cool ride.
My hot lap was with Mazda driver, Tom Long. The hot lap was video taped along with Tom's commentary of the track. Since it was filmed by Mazda, I couldn't scream until the lap was done! If you see the in car video of Tom Long's hot lap at Mosport, I am in the front passenger seat biting my lip and screaming on the inside! Thank you Tom and IMSA for the hot lap!
Big thank you to Ryan Smith and the Corvette Racing for the garage tour. I enjoyed learning more about this team, the cars, and the bouncy house. While I was the lone "meet up" fan to participate, I was not shorted a great experience. I encourage all race fans to follow @SportsCarMeetUp to learn of the meet up events. Thank you, Kelly Brouillet for arranging.
During practice session on Saturday, the Whelen Chevrolet Corvette driven by Boris Said crashed out of turn one. My understanding is that Boris was released from the hospital with broken rib(s), and research continues to find the cause of the accident. Hoping for a full recovery for Boris. He is an icon at the track!
I want to thank everyone especially @sportscar365 (http://sportscar365.com/imsa/tusc/ctmp-pre-race-notebook/), Wes Duenkel Motorsport Photography, JumpyBob, and all the tweet messages for the recognition of my 50th race!

On This Day in Typewriter History (LX)
A typewriter historian's life is never easy. But this? This is ridiculous. Not one Thomas D. Worrall to try to track down, but at least two, maybe as many as four! Thomas D. Worrall, the typewriter inventor? Thomas D. Who? More to the point: Which Thomas D. Worrall? Even that indefatigable digger into typewriter history, the author Michael H. Adler, was confused. And I'm now quadruply confused.
Let's just start by saying the Thomas D. Worrall in whom we are interested today was issued with seven patents for typewriters between 1886 and 1890. The fifth of the seven came on this day in 1887.
At the time of receiving each of the first six patents, this Thomas D. Worrall was living in Washington DC. He later moved to Lynn, Massachusetts, where he patented a printing press in 1888 and another typewriter in 1890.
But which Thomas D. Worrall was he?
Was he the same Thomas D. Worrall who was living at 618 F Street NW, Washington DC (where the Shakespeare Theatre Company now stands) when, in 1884, he wrote and self-published a book called Slander and Defamation of Character: The Great Crimes of the Nineteenth Century?
It seems highly possible.
A Thomas D. Worrall also patented corner picture frames in 1883, while living in Concord, New Hampshire.
But are we here talking about the same Thomas D. Worrall who wrote (as Tom Worrall, though definitely a Thomas D. Worrall, born in 1860) another controversial book, called The Grain Trust Exposed, in 1905, while living in Omaha, Nebraska?
Appears unlikely.
This last Thomas D. Worrall committed suicide by swallowing carbolic acid in Lincoln, Nebraska, on December 28, 1907, aged 47, and was at the time described as a local politician and businessman.
Judging by the photograph on the cover of the book, my guess this is the Thomas Daniel Worrall whose image (below) appears on ancestry.com:
The Thomas D. Worrall in question here also had a keen and active interest in legal suits. But he was a native of Illinois, a farmer near Agnew and storekeeper at Valparaiso before moving to Lincoln in 1890. So that just about rules him out of contention.
But wait, there may be yet a third (or fourth? Or merely second?) Thomas D. Worrall to consider as the possible typewriter designer.
This final Thomas D. Worrall was indeed an inventor (of sorts) who designed carpenter's bench planes (for which he is quite noted in that particular area) and worked on gases and sulphurs. He lived in Lowell, Massachusetts, as well as Boston, New York and Central City, Colorado. But he patented all his designs back between 1856 and 1866.
Confused? Yes, I said I was.
But Michael Adler only adds to this chaos. In his The Writing Machine (1974), Adler wonders whether Thomas D. Worrall, the 1886-87 typewriter inventor, was in any way connected with a Henry Worral (one 'l', as Adler concedes) of Hartford, Connecticut, who wrote a letter to his sister in 1867 saying he had sold two typewriters of his own design. Apparently Adler got this obscure bit of information from Ernst Martin's 1949 typewriter history.
"Whether it is the same Worrall is not known," Adler wrote.
Adler described Worrall's 1886 typewriter design as one "with keys attached to rows of horizontal levers pivoted at one end and with the type underneath at the other. These levers were contained in a frame which rode left and right above the flat paper-table to locate the desired character above the printing-point."
Later Adler pointed out that this machine was assigned to the Worrall Manufacturing Company of Boston.
"This is the 'unknown' machine of this name sometimes listed and illustrated," wrote Adler, referring to a typewriter history written in Milan in 1902, as well as other sources.
Yes, folks, the mystery only deepens.
In his 1997 book, Antique Typewriters, Adler added that the Worrall machine had a five-row keyboard … "with the keyboard and typebar assembly propelled above [flat the paper table] by coil springs.
"Apocryphal references to an instrument by a man called Worral (sic, as Adler added) may well be dealing with the same device."
Adler went so far to include a Worrall patent drawing:
What Adler completely overlooked, however, was that this patent, issued on January 19, 1886, was only one of seven taken out by Worrall for typewriters.
Indeed, it was merely the first of the seven. Two more followed on February 9, a fourth a week latter on February 16, and the fifth on this day in 1887 (below):
What we do know about the typewriter inventor Worrall is that he had more than one typewriter design in mind. And, 10 years after the basic shape of an office typewriter had basically been settled, his designs were weird, to say the least.
The ornate shapings of some of them suggests the woodworker called Thomas D. Worrall who patented things back between 1856-66, if not the picture frame designer.
But I'll let you be the judge:
notagain said...
The Fallow Fields Manufacturing Company has found its standard-bearer! Those are interesting designs.
Richard P said...
We are getting deep into the hallucinogenic exotica of the spurious typewriter fantasy kingdom. Just what I love!
I agree about Worrall being our standard-bearer, notagain. As for the "hallucinogenic exotica of the spurious typewriter fantasy kingdom" - Richard, you take my breath away!

For the upcoming S/S '18 season, I had been gifted a suit of my choice from Moss Bros! Following on from the shoot I partnered up with them last Winter, it was a great feeling to have been approached by them again.
I have never really been a 'suit' person, instead, I would perhaps wear a blazer on its own with a pair of jeans or some suit trousers with a biker jacket to add a twist, so it was rather new and fresh to me to wear a full 3 piece suit but it's safe to say I definitely felt more sophisticated and strong!
I chose the Skinny Fit Khaki Suit which now comes with a Free Shirt & Tie of your choice! I chose this Suit as I felt the colour was different to anything I own myself and I felt that it was a fresh choice in time for S/S! Myself and Matt McCormick went to Granary Wharf in Leeds and found a run down area to contrast against the sharp, strong suit. I am very happy with the images, and I hope you all like the images too!
Have you shopped with Moss Bros before? If so, what did you buy? What do you think to my choice of suit? Do you like the images that Matt took? Do let me know your thoughts below as I would love to hear from you, and don't forget to click that like button! Also, to see my previous post with Moss Bros, click here!
Moss Bros are best known for their premium tailoring such as their slick and suave coats alongside their luxurious suits, all of which are designed and tailored to the highest quality.
I had recently been contacted by Moss Bros, and was given the opportunity to select a new coat to feature. Naturally I was ecstatic and I went along to the Harrogate Boutique to select one and was stuck between a simple, plain grey coat, or this Moss London Slim Fit POW Check Overcoat which is ultimately what I chose in the end.
I chose the Moss London Slim Fit POW Check Overcoat because it was different to any coat I had had before, and I loved the speckled effect with the different colours all woven together and I particularly liked how the textured wool felt. I also felt that it was versatile and true to form, it fit like a glove. Myself and Matt McCormick went to Roundhay Park in Leeds to shoot this and this is without a doubt one of my favourite shoots! I loved the different lighting that we got to play around with and I am thoroughly pleased with the results.

CU Theatre's 'Eurydice' flips an ancient myth on its head
An original production directed by Niki Tulk sheds new light on the tragic love story.
The University of Colorado's theatre season continues with "Eurydice" by Sarah Ruhl, a poetic, emotionally powerful retelling of a 2,000-year-old Greek myth. The play runs Dec. 6-10 in the intimate Loft Theatre.
In the original myth, Orpheus mourns his beloved wife Eurydice's death and resolves to visit her in the underworld. Hades agrees to let the two lovers meet again, as long as Orpheus vows not to look at Eurydice. In the end, the lovesick demigod can't help but sneak a glance, and he loses his wife forever.
Sarah Ruhl's play flips the myth's narrative on its head and makes Eurydice the narrator. In Ruhl's retelling, Eurydice meets her long-lost father in the underworld and is forced to choose between familial love and romantic love.
Niki Tulk, who directs the CU production, says that to her the play is about "the near impossibility of two people being able to love each other simply, without any complications."
Anyone who's ever been in love understands that romantic relationships never exist in a vacuum, as much as we wish they did. They're often strained by family relationships, stress at work or big life changes. "Each one of us is going to resonate with the sadness Eurydice feels at being separated from someone she loves, no matter what choice she makes," Tulk says. "It's part of all of us."
With her choice to cast Eli Davis, a non-binary actor, in the role of Orpheus, Tulk has made clear that "all of us" includes those of all gender identities and sexualities. "Myths are timeless because the stories invite connection with everyone," she says. "This story can be about any two people who love each other."
Tulk is equally democratic in the way she plans productions. From sets and lighting to music and acting, she believes no one element of a performance is more important than the other. The yearning, melodic music, the ensemble of silent actors and the sparse red and white sets, inspired by both Eastern culture and 1950s American decor, all work together to create the play's strange, sad universe.
"It will be an incredibly beautiful space," Tulk says. "It should feel like walking into a Zen meditation room where something's gone wrong. This isn't a space that's alive, and it should be."
Tulk, who last season premiered her solo show "Ophelia | Leaves" at CU's ATLAS Black Box Theater and also directed "She Rode Horses Like the Stock Exchange" at square product theatre, says she's honored to be part of an experimental and female-focused season at CU Theatre.
"We're exploring a different type of theater this season, and it's more non-linear, more mythic and imaginative," she says. "That's not to say it's highbrow or difficult to understand. It's the same imagery we see in our dreams at night. So let's dream during the day, together, in this space."

August Concert Guide: Mars, Kings, Dance Elements, Yes, Stills and Blue Eyes
By Rick Handler - July 29, 2017

We're in the last month of the summer season, and it promises to be a month of musical bliss. There hasn't been many mega shows this summer. The biggest act this month is Bruno Mars, who is in concert at PPG Paints Arena.
There are, however, a steady stream of high-quality, mid-size acts. Like Twang-rock? Florida Georgia Line is at KeyBank Pavilion. Classic rock is prominent with shows from Foreigner/Cheap Trick/Jason Bonham Led Zeppelin Experience, also at KeyBank. There's a Yestival at Greensburg's Palace. What's a Yestival, you ask? It's a mini-festival with Yes, Todd Rundgren, and Carl Palmer. Tesla, Chris Robinson Brotherhood, and The Outlaws also have Pittsburgh dates. Two outstanding performers who were once a couple, but never performed together until this year, are playing our region: Judy Collins and Stephen Stills.
Other notable concerts include Kings of Leon, Phantogram, The Shins, Social Distortion, and Nickelback. There's going to be a big funk soul dance party at PPG Paints Arena when Earth, Wind & Fire and Chic take the stage. There's also a bevy of top Pittsburgh talent performing free, outdoor concerts at North and South Parks. We've spotlighted Billy Porter, The Gathering Field and Brownie Mary, and The Commonheart. Many concert options are out there; enjoy our suggestions, or follow your own musical pleasure.
"New Slang" and "Caring Is Creepy" appeared on 2001's Oh, Inverted World, The Shins' debut album, but the songs gained additional exposure after appearing on the Garden State soundtrack three years later. 2007's Wincing the Night Away, the band's third album, charted at no. 2 on the Billboard 200. Then The Shins disappeared. Frontman James Mercer broke up the original lineup and started Broken Bells, his collaboration with noted producer Danger Mouse. The Shins, still fronted by Mercer but with an otherwise new lineup, returned in 2012 with Port of Morrow. Singles like "Simple Song" proved that Mercer could still write Shins songs that would "change your life," to quote Sam (Natalie Portman) in Garden State. 2017's Heartworms is The Shins' latest. The group plays Stage AE. Tennis, an indie husband-and-wife duo, opens. Doors open 7 p.m. 400 North Shore Dr., North Shore. (CM)
Electronic, pop-rock band Phantogram, from Greenwich, N.Y., is made up of Josh Carter (vocals, guitars) and Sarah Barthel (vocals, keyboards), who perform at Mr. Smalls. An optical illusion that makes two-dimensional objects appear three-dimensional inspired the band's name. The duo recorded its first album, 2010's Eyelid Movies, in a remote and rustic barn called Harmony Lodge in Saratoga Springs, N.Y. Phantogram epitomize the kind of genre crossing that's become common among an internet-flattened landscape. "When I'm Small," off of Eyelid Movies, appears across a myriad of Pandora stations. The group appeared on The Flaming Lips' The Terror in 2013 and on Miley Cyrus's Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz in 2015. The Game's "Mula" (featuring Kanye West) sampled "Fall in Love," off of 2014's Voices, Phantogram's sophomore album. With rapper Big Boi, they formed Big Grams in 2015 and released an EP. Phantogram's third album, appropriately titled Three, was released in 2016. Skott opens. 8 p.m. 400 Lincoln Ave., Millvale. (RH, CM)
Social Distortion, an American punk rock band which formed in 1978 in Fullerton, California, plays Stage AE this month. Frontman Mike Ness started the group with Dennis Danell in high school. After their debut album, 1983's Mommy's Little Monster, things almost fell apart—the band went on hiatus while Ness entered rehab. He and the other members persevered and released Prison Bound in 1988. "Ball and Chain" and "Story of My Life," two hits from their self-titled third album, remain immensely popular 27 years after their initial release. Danell died in 2000, and Ness remains the group's sole original member. (Drummer David Hidalgo Jr. is the son of David Hidalgo, guitarist and singer for Los Lobos.) Their last record was Hard Times and Nursery Rhymes. It was released in 2011, but Social D often perform new songs on tour, so enjoy some early listens. Jade Jackson open. Doors open 7 p.m. 400 North Shore Dr., North Shore. (RH, CM)
Classic rock mainstay Chicago has remained vibrant and popular throughout the decades despite lead singer Peter Cetera leaving the band for a solo career in 1985, personnel changes, and a lack of latter-day chart successes. Why has Chicago remained so popular? The answer is in the music. Every musician is highly accomplished and the band's big wall of sound brings it all together. Best known for its brassy horn section—which gives extra depth to hits like "25 or 6 to 4," "Saturday in the Park," "Just You and Me" "Beginnings," and "If You Leave Me Now"—Chicago had a longer name at its start in 1967. The rockers called themselves Chicago Transit Authority but were forced to change it … by the Chicago Transit Authority. The band will give a FanJam Postgame Concert, which begins at PNC Park after the Bucs play the Padres in a 7:05 game. 115 Federal St., North Shore.
One of Pittsburgh's hottest bands during the '90s—Gathering Field—reunites occasionally with the original lineup of Bill Deasy (lead vocals, acoustic guitar), Dave Brown (lead guitar), Jim DiSpirito (percussion), Eric Riebling (bass), Ray Defade (drums), and new member Clark Slater. Gathering Field gained rock radio success in the mid-'90s with the song "Lost in America" and was signed to Atlantic Records. The band members created their first studio album in many years, Wild Journey, in 2014 and are performing tonight with another top Pittsburgh band from the 1990s that reunites occasionally, Brownie Mary. The band is set on a foundation of Kelsey Friday as the wailing lead singer and guitarist Rich Jaques. Friday (formerly Barber) has a professional career and several children. Most of the time now she sings about the sun, being happy, and why it's OK to be afraid sometimes, as the leader of the cutely named children's music outfit Kelsey Friday and the Rest of the Week. She's not relying on that material tonight however. She and her Brownie Mary bandmates will be ripping it up. Special guests are Scott, Rob, and Greg of the Clarks playing an acoustic set. This strong Pittsburgh rock performance billed as Nick's Fat City Night is part of the Allegheny County Summer Concert Series. 7:30 p.m. Hartwood Acres Amphitheater, 4070 Middle Rd., Allison Park. (RH)
Nickelback get a lot of flack. The Internet scoffed when frontman Chad Kroeger said in a recent CBC radio interview that "I even think the critics like Nickelback. … We're that guilty pleasure." Critics or not, somebody, in fact, a lot of people like the rock quartet. The band's worldwide album sales surpass 50 million. Nickelback formed in Hanna, Alberta, Canada, in 1995. 2001's Silver Side Up and its first single, "How You Remind Me," were multi-platinum successes. "Seinfeld" fans can appreciate the music video for "Trying Not To Love You;" it stars Jason Alexander, arguably best known as George Costanza. He plays two baristas, who vie for the love of Brooke Burns of "Baywatch." (Seriously. Watch it above.) The group is touring in support of this year's Feed the Machine, including a stop at KeyBank Pavilion. Daughtry, fronted by Chris Daughtry of "American Idol" fame, opens as do Shaman's Harvest. 6 p.m. 665 Rt. 18, Burgettstown. (CM)

Tesla formed in Sacramento, California, in the 1980s and was originally called City Kidd. However, their manager didn't like the name, plus there was another band with that name, so they found inspiration from inventor and electrical engineer Nikola Tesla. The band really hit its stride in the early '90s with a tight group, the rich vocals of Jeff Keith, and the ability to craft some popular power ballads. Breaking up in 1996 and reuniting in 2000, the band remains popular and continues to create new works. Their latest album was 2014's Simplicity. They are currently working on a new one scheduled for release this year. Tesla's best known songs include "Love Song," "What You Give," and "Signs." The band has sold over 25 million albums. Opening is The Cringe and Voices of Extreme. 7:30 p.m. The Palace Theatre, 21 W. Otterman St., Greensburg. (RH)
Earth, Wind & Fire is one of the most successful soul/funk bands of the late '70s and early to mid '80s. There are many reasons for the band's success, mainly the musical genius of EWF's leader, the late Maurice White. White fused musical genres together, including soul, funk, African rhythms, gospel, rock, and jazz. He combined that with a tight band of top-notch musicians, including a horn section, mystical lyrics and staging, and the soaring voice of Philip Bailey. White and Bailey were the two lead singers with Bailey possessing a beautiful falsetto voice with a four-octave range. 1975's That's the Way of the World was the band's first big album and produced the hits "That's the Way of the World," "Shining Star," and "Reasons." EWF has received 20 Grammy nominations, winning six as a group and White and Bailey garnering two individual awards. White's brother Verdine is the longtime bassist for the band.
"These are the good times" sang the band Chic in 1979 in their song "Good Times." And they were good times for the band and their fans. The song is actually one of the most sampled songs of all time and was used by the Sugarhill Gang in their hit "Rapper's Delight." Chic had many other top songs that pulled people onto the discoteque dance floors too including "Le Freak," "I Want Your Love," and "Dance, Dance, Dance (Yowsah, Yowsah, Yowsah)." The band had its own musical mastermind in Nile Rodgers, who produced and tweaked Chic's sound and lineup during the formation. A little "horse trading" by Rodgers allowed Chic and the Chic-produced band Sister Sledge to trade songs to get what each group wanted. Sister Sledge got the Bernie Edwards and Rodgers song "He's the Greatest Dancer," and Chic got the song intended for Sister Sledge, "I Want Your Love." Edwards, who co-founded Chic, has since passed to the great disco in the sky, but Rodgers still tours. 7:30 p.m. PPG Paints Arena, 1001 Fifth Ave., Uptown. (RH)
Southern rock finds its way north to South Park as part of the Allegheny County Summer Concert Series with the Outlaws. For over 40 years, the band has been thriving in the Southern rock genre along with Lynyrd Skynyrd, Charlie Daniels, and The Allman Brothers (now permanently disbanded with the death of Gregg Allman). Founded in Tampa, Fla., in '67, the Outlaws put forth a Southern rock opus with "Green Grass and High Tides" and scored a major hit with "There Goes Another Love Song." Outlaw trademarks include beautiful vocal harmonies and intricate lead guitar play. Surviving the test of time, the inevitable evolution of popular music, and bandmates' deaths, the Outlaws are definitely alive, kicking, and, it would seem, stronger than ever. Some things really do get better with age. The Steppin Stones open. 7:30 p.m. 3700 Farmshow Dr., South Park Township. (RH)
KeyBank Pavilion is hosting a classic rock show with Foreigner, Cheap Trick, and the Jason Bonham Led Zeppelin Experience. Veteran rockers Foreigner are famous for power ballads such as "I Want To Know What Love Is" and rockers like "Rev on the Red Line" and "Juke Box Hero." Mick Jones is the only remaining original member of the band, which started out in 1976 and had a hit with its eponymous, five-times-platinum first album a year later. Their latest major release, Acoustique, came out in 2011, featuring unplugged versions of their classic hits. Foreigner is one of the world's top selling bands with over 80 million records sold.
Cheap Trick is a quintessential '70s rock band. They sang "Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird, surrender …" for their big hit "Surrender." Other highly successful songs are "I Want You to Want Me," and "The Flame." Cheap Trick formed in Rockford, Illinois, in 1973. Robin Zander, Rick Nielsen, and crew released their latest album, We're All Alright!, in June. And to round out a great lineup, Jason Bonham, son of the late Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham, has masterfully recreated his father's band's music with his own band. He (and Ann and Nancy Wilson of Heart) gave an amazing performance of "Stairway to Heaven" when the Kennedy Awards honored Led Zeppelin in 2012. 7 p.m. 665 Rt. 18, Burgettstown. (RH)
Yes started out in 1968 performing original songs and reworked covers. Their first two albums were mostly uneventful, and they were even on the verge of being dropped by their record label. Then the band made a dramatic turn into experimental (progressive) rock. A few personnel moves were made, and guitarist Steve Howe joined the main founding members Jon Anderson and Chris Squire. Their fortunes also turned as their next album, The Yes Album, released in '71, was a breakthrough success. The album reached no. 4 in the UK and no. 40 on the U.S. charts. "Starship Trooper" and "Yours Is No Disgrace" were top songs from the release. The band is known as one of the progressive rock pioneers. The members' innovative vocal harmonies, guitars, rhythm section, and keyboards left a mark on the music industry despite breakups and reunions. There are currently two Yes outfits: Yes and Yes Featuring Jon Anderson, Trevor Rabin, Rick Wakeman. Yes is lead by longtime band members Howe and Alan White (drums, percussion). The group's last release was 2014's Heaven & Earth. Yes was finally inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this April.
"Can We Still Be Friends," "Hello It's Me," and "I Saw the Light" were three monster hits in the '70s for accomplished pop rocker Todd Rundgren. A musical composer, performer, and producer who plays many different instruments, Rundgren is a free spirit whose creativity is limitless and songs melodically beautiful. He's produced top albums for many individuals and groups, including Hall & Oates, Cheap Trick, Patti Smith, and The Psychedelic Furs. Rundgren is currently touring in support of his latest release, White Knight. It is the prolific Rundgren's 26th studio album.
Carl Palmer was a member of another pioneering progressive rock band, Emerson, Lake & Palmer. Spawned in the 1970s, ELP is best remembered today for an eerily mellow number, "Lucky Man." But the boys could also do thunder and lightning—especially Palmer—and he has kept doing it with various acts including the band Asia. Palmer, noted as one of the best rock drummers of the 1960s, is touring with his group ELP Legacy. 7 p.m. This rock lineup is being billed as Yestival. The Palace Theatre, 21 W. Otterman St., Greensburg. (MV, RH)
Not once, but twice Stephen Stills has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and on the same night! Stills garnered that double accolade through his work with Buffalo Springfield and Crosby, Stills & Nash. In Buffalo Springfield, he teamed up with Neil Young, who has called Stills a genius, and his other bandmates to create the seminal counter-culture song "For What It's Worth (Stop, Hey What's That Sound)." After Buffalo Springfield disbanded, Stills joined up with David Crosby and Graham Nash to form CSN. They had a cornucopia of hits including "Helplessly Hoping" and "49 Bye-Byes." On Stills's self-titled, first solo album, he had some help on guitar from Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton, and Ringo Starr assisted on drums (credited only as Richie!). Stills has also been a member of the bands Manassas and most recently The Rides.
Legendary songstress Judy Collins was a piano prodigy by 13, and as she came of age, she used her music to rail against social and environmental problems. She's known for reinterpreting traditional and contemporary folk music standards to create rich, insightful, poetic-like songs about life's ups and downs. Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger influenced her with their use of storytelling through songs about hard-luck people. Collins, in turn, inspired others—Stephen Stills wrote the classic song, "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes," while breaking up with Collins. Collins's version of Stephen Sondheim's "Send in the Clowns" garnered her the Song of the Year Grammy Award in '76. Stills and Collins are performing together for the first time ever on this tour and have an album, Everybody Knows, which will be released September 22. 8 p.m. The Palace Theatre, 21 W. Otterman St., Greensburg. (RH)
Nashville's Kings of Leon charted three albums in the top five of the UK Albums Chart before finally breaking in their homeland. Hits like "Sex on Fire" and "Use Somebody," which won three Grammys, buoyed 2008's Only by the Night, their fourth LP, to number four on the US Billboard 200. The band performed a victory lap of festival dates, including Lollapalooza, in 2009. Come Around Sundown followed in 2010, and the quartet took a needed hiatus in 2011. They regrouped two years later for Mechanical Bull. Members include brothers Caleb, Nathan, and Jared Followill, and cousin Matthew Followill. Jared attended Mount Juliet High School in Tennessee. (Mount Juliet is the home of country rocker Charlie Daniels.) Leon was the name of their grandfather. Their latest album is 2016's Walls, their seventh LP. They play KeyBank Pavilion. Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats open. 7 p.m. 665 Rt. 18, Burgettstown. (RH, CM)

Country duo Florida Georgia Line consists of Tyler Hubbard (he's the Georgian half of the pair) along with Brian Kelley from Florida. They've been headlining their own tours in recent years after opening for Luke Bryan, Taylor Swift, and Jason Aldean. The duo formed in Nashville in 2010 and have since put out three albums: 2012's Here's to the Good Times; 2014's Anything Goes, which went to No. 1 on both the Billboard 200 and the Country Albums chart; and last year's Dig Your Roots. They were the first group to be labeled as "bro-country," a rock and hip-hop influenced style best demonstrated by their smash single "Cruise" (which was later remixed by hip-hop artist Nelly and given an even more leery video). Opening is Nelly, Chris Lane, and Ryan Hurd. 7 p.m. KeyBank Pavilion, 665 Rt. 18, Burgettstown. (HM, RH)
One of the nation's hottest and most talented pop music artists, Bruno Mars, plays the PPG Paints Arena. Mars has enjoyed success with hits like the Police-esque "Locked Out of Heaven" and the retro-funk "Treasure." Born Peter Gene Hernandez in Honolulu, Hawaii, he got the nickname Bruno from his dad, who thought he resembled Pittsburgh-based wrestler Bruno Sammartino. Mars performed in his family's band, The Love Notes, as a child. As an adult, he kicked around L.A. and found early success as a writer for musicians such as Adam Levine and Flo Rida. Mars is now a Grammy-award-winning solo performer, who has had 13 consecutive singles chart in the Top 10 on the American Top 40. The Super Bowl 48 and 50 halftime shows saw appearances by him, the former as a headliner, the latter as a special guest with Coldplay. Mars is traveling under the 24K Magic World Tour banner. 8 p.m. 1001 Fifth Ave., Uptown. (RH, CM)
Chris Robinson is best known for the long-time, highly successful, collaborative effort with his brother Rich: The Black Crowes. The Robinson brothers sometimes had differing opinions on how to do things, and this led to production and touring breaks from the band. The Crowes have been in a dormant state now for a couple of years. Chris, formerly married to actress Kate Hudson, has been rolling along with what once was his side project—The Chris Robinson Brotherhood. The band's style is of a blues/rock nature with Robinson's rich vocals combining with great guitar, organ, keyboard, drum work, and a touch of southern jam rock. Don't expect to hear many Black Crowes' tunes in the sets; Robinson and band are playing songs from their latest albums, Any Way You Love, We Know How You Feel; If You Lived Here, You Would Be Home By Now; and 2014's Phosphorescent Harvest, plus songs from past side projects and noted covers like Carl Perkins's "Boppin' the Blues."
Chris Robinson in a past website bio summed up the spirit of the Brotherhood: "We don't make music that can sell iPads. Our music will not sell you a Prius. I like that. Writing songs has always led me to good things in my life. The songwriting saved me through the dark times, and the songwriting makes it that much sweeter when it's good. Real success can only come in pursuit of an authentic sound. We're all very committed to this music, beyond money and egos. That's a unique place to be." The group's local visit promises to be a top concert and one that may be flying under the radar. 8 p.m. Mr. Smalls, 400 Lincoln Ave., Millvale. (RH)
The Commonheart is one of the hottest bands on the local music scene. Led by frontman Clinton Clegg and his impressive rock/soul pipes, the band delivers inspiring performances. Strong guitar, rhythm, and horn sections along with harmonious background singers add to the aural delight. The Commonheart recently released their new album Grown and have been on a U.S. tour since April. This fall, they will be opening for JJ Grey & Mofro in multiple cities. You can catch them on their hometown stop at South Park. Opening is Telephone Line. This show is part of the Allegheny County Summer Concert Series. 7:30 p.m. South Park Amphitheater, 3700 Farmshow Dr., South Park Township. (RH)
The Allegheny County Summer Concert Series features a diverse concert mix with offerings in rock, jazz, funk, classical, and more. Now it's time for the multi-faceted entertainer Billy Porter. Porter, best known for his Tony Award-winning role as Lola in the Broadway musical "Kinky Boots," is a Pittsburgh native. He attended Pittsburgh CAPA and then Carnegie Mellon University for drama. Porter has had a variety of roles over his career in Pittsburgh and New York. He started out with an ensemble called Flash, which performed during the summer at Kennywood Park. He went on to various roles in Pittsburgh and New York including one that he wrote and cast himself in, the autobiographical Ghetto Superstar (The Man That I Am). His love of singing has always been an important part of his life and career. His first album, Billy Porter, was released back in 1997. Porter's fourth album, Billy Porter Presents the Soul of Richard Rodgers, came out this year. 7:30 p.m. Hartwood Acres Amphitheater, 4070 Middle Rd., Allison Park. (RH)
Rick Handler is the executive producer of Entertainment Central and enjoys great music.
Christopher Maggio is a writer and editor who likes seeing great concerts.

Q: Añadir linea de texto en archivo .txt solo si ésta no existe Como dice el título, tengo un código que busca URLS en una web, una vez tengo una lista con las URLS creo un archivo, este archivo se crea con las primeras URLS (las 10 que salen en la primera página ) una vez hecho, quiero hacer otra búsqueda, solo añadiendo las nuevas URLS, pero solo consigo sobre escribirlas todas...
Esto no me sirve ya que las nuevas url las enviare a mi chat de telegram con Python también, es decir, no quiero reenviar 10 o 15 urls constantemente, solo quiero que mande mensaje cuando hay urls nuevas, es decir que compare el texto dentro del archivo o lista, si este es diferente al que ya esta dentro que mande un telegram.
Este es el código:
import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import re

url=input("Escriba la web de la que quiere extraer información: ")

r=requests.get(url)

data = r.text

soup=BeautifulSoup(data, 'html.parser')

list= ''

add='url faltante' #esta es la informacion que hay faltante a lo adquirido por soup

for link in soup.find_all('a', href=re.compile('^/s-anzeige/')):
        full=add+link.get('href')+ '\n'
        list += full

print(list)

archivo=open("archivo.txt","w")
archivo.write(list)

Por otra parte si veis algún fallo en el código o creéis  que debería deplorarlo de alguna manera, escucho ideas, soy un novato en mundo Python y voy perdido.

A: El modo "w" crea un archivo si no existe y lo abre en modo escritura. Si el archivo ya existe lo trunca previamente, eliminando por tanto el contenido anterior.
La solución sería:

*

*Abres el archivo en modo a+,  el cuál lo abre  en modo escritura, agregando a lo que ya hay (append), además de permitir la lectura.

*Como el modo a posiciona el cursor al final por defecto, mueves el cursor al inicio del archivo.

*Lo lees y obtienes todas las líneas, por eficiencia en las búsquedas usa un conjunto (set) para almacenarlas. El cursor estará de nuevo al final del archivo.

*Ahora por cada link de la página miras si está en el conjunto de links procedentes del fichero usando el operador de pertenencia in, si no lo están lo agregas al mismo.

import re

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import requests

url = input("Escriba la web de la que quiere extraer información: ")
r = requests.get(url)
data = r.text
soup = BeautifulSoup(data, 'html.parser')

links_nuevos = []

add = 'url faltante'

with open("archivo.txt", "a+") as archivo:
    archivo.seek(0)
    file_links = set(archivo)

    for link in soup.find_all('a', href=re.compile('^/s-anzeige/')):
        full = f"{add}{link.get('href')}\n"
        if full not in file_links:
            archivo.write(full)
            links_nuevos.append(full)

print(links_nuevos)

En cuanto a tu código, solo un comentario. No uses nunca list como nombre para una variable, list es una función builtin en Python (aunque no una palabra reservada) que además actúa como constructor para objetos lista. Al hacer ésto te expones a no poder usar list en el script si lo necesitas, generando una excepción en tal caso. Además el código es confuso para otros desarrolladores que lo lean.
La norma se aplica a toda función builtin y si me apuras a los nombres de módulos de la stdlib. Si te vieras forzado a usar un nombre de éstos por legibilidad, raro, pero si se da el caso, sigue las convenciones de estilo y añade un guión bajo al final, list_ en vez de list.
