.3 mm mechanical(drafting) pencils have been a personal favorite for 30 years, since i filled data on tiny lines in manila folders. fat lines are gross. i still write so tiny that most folks can't read it. skinny leads have to be pretty soft, because the hard ones break. writing with .3 mm leads simultaneously requires a delicate and firm even touch. we all have things we wont compromise; i refuse to write with fat leads. coltrane after the rain

(1024x768) you won't catch me near a crowded stadium or noisy sports bar with the public, or in front of my tv, for that matter, on a nice autumn weekend afternoon, or even a nasty one. i know you can access the broadcasts on your phone, but i enjoy listening to an exciting broadcast by knowledgeable analysts with historic perspectives on radio, where i can enjoy the beauty of an autumn day or do a few errands or chores. wifi radios are the coming rage; they are REAL great, and i own one. a laptop is a great broadcast source, as well. jim donovan is back in the booth doing the browns radio broadcasts. the pittsburgh steeler broadcaster bill hilgrove can be picked up on wwva wheeling on any of these fine little radios, as long as i stay out of a steel building. there are lots of network radio nfl and college radio broadcasts. the bears are received easily in daytime or at night on wbbm radio. a couple of stations carry the indianapolis colts, and on good nights, the redskins and saints games can be heard. the new york giants games are on wfan at night, and night comes earlui in winter. 15 or 20 college football broadcasts, or more, can be heard every weekend. a personal favorite of mine is the exceptional longtime michigan state broaadcaster(detroit pistons, too) george blaha. marv homan, the former ohio state SID, he of original creative language, with his delightful sidekick, kenny keller, who didn't know a football from a grasshopper were absolute delights. if you can find a tiny tiny slide rule tuned am radio with great sound, a fine tuner and selectivity, and great battery life, at least 250 hours, you can enjoy all the beauty and freedom of an autumn afternoon. my grundig boy(1982) is a miraculous little radio. the exceptional ge pocket radios of 1983 have been unmatched today, have matchless performance. that little ge radio has been dropped on cement and asphalt at least 100 times, and is still an incredible performer. for 28 years, the little $5 battered box has been my sidekick, at work and play. the sony srf-59 is comparatively new with a design only going back a dozen years or so. the tuner is just incredible and the sound circuits are the same as in sony radios costing $200. the only knock on this $12 sony, or less radio is that it's nowhere near as durable as the other 3. i dropped one and the sensitive built in antenna disconnected. the radio runs with one little aaa battery for hundreds of hours. i love my little 4 or 5 dollar greybeard radios; with a quality set of headphones, they add immensely to my enjoyment of autumn. family dollar has a great high sensitivity durable phones for 5 bucks. koss portapro headphones cost about $30, with a lifetime guarantee. send the old set, and koss will send a replacement pair. their sound is great for the money, but the wires are thin and flimsy. i've trashed 2 pairs in about 6 months; you can't use them for high stress activities like running. you just cant beat excitement like this.

signs, signs,signs.......many are sent; most never received or regarded. strangely, you and i see many signals(body language, expressions) and signs that were never sent, water and nurture them, and we become fools..... going home amina claudine myers

Same here. I knew it was over when I realized I loved salt-free potato chips... fast food workers from other joints have told me many times that wendy's was their fastfood burger of choice--they were made from fresh beef and they were real. .i'm betting the 99cent jr. bacon cheeseburger will be history, too. i'll try one in a day or two, but i'm not expecting much, and i am expecting bad tasting burgers with greater profit margins, no matter what their promos say.

Old LPs turned into iPhone speakers By ROB WAUGH Last updated at 7:14 PM on 16th September 2011 Comments (15)Add to My StoriesShareWith MP3s ruling the music industry, and CDs almost a thing of the past, most vinyl records are probably gathering dust in middle-aged men's attics. But not for designer Paul Cocksedge, who transforms the 'dead' music format into speakers for smartphones such as iPhone - 'horn'-style speakers of the sort that used to be used on 78rpm record players. ‘The miniaturisation of technology means that speakers aren’t what they used to be - they need volume, they need to be bigger,’ said Cocksedge. Designer Paul Cocksedge has finally found a use for all those old records in your attics - he melts them into £25 'horn' speakers to amplify iPhone's built-in sounds Cocksedge applies heat to the vinyl record until it softens, then moulds it into the perfect shape needed to amplify noise - so no electricity or power is needed. He will be creating speakers 'live' from his customers' own records at London's Design Festival. For £25, audience members can bring in their own records and watch them being converted into a unique funnel-shaped speaker for their smartphone. More... Sound with no strings attachedThe Zeppelin: A stairway to iPod heaven 'We’re mixing the sound from the past with the sound of the new,’ Cocksedge said. The designer applies a gentle heat to the record until it 'melts' enough to become pliable, then moulds it into a speaker The live event will be held on 20th September at Concrete, underneath a pizzeria on Shoreditch High Street. ‘So they’ll be cooking pizzas upstairs while we’re cooking records downstairs,’ laughed Cocksedge. It is part of the London Design Festival, which runs from 17th-25th September, and will see the city transformed by the country’s leading designers and architects. The entrance to the V&A will be surrounded by a giant 12m timber wave by architects AL_A, while at St Paul’s Cathedral, designer John Pawson has engineered an optical illusion that will allow visitors to see as if looking down from the top of the tower - while still firmly on the ground. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2038226/Is-vinyl-answer-Old-LPs-turned-iPhone-speakers.html Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2038226/Is-vinyl-answer-Old-LPs-turned-iPhone-speakers.html#ixzz1YSP0xDD1 Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2038226/Is-vinyl-answer-Old-LPs-turned-iPhone-speakers.html#ixzz1YSP0xDD1

speaking of toast, a talented news journal employee bakes some of the most delightful whole grain and sourdough breads i've tasted, and she generously shares them with her community.

from the late graham collier site--- http://www.jazzcontinuum.com/Writings/Identity%20Crisis/IdentMisc/index.html Obama on jazz January 2009 President Obama’s decision to give his first television interview on jazz to NRK (the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation) was greeted with dismay by the Marsalis party. ‘Although our stance on jazz being purely African American may appear to have lessened lately, we still feel that it’s too early to recognise Norwegian Jazz as being a worthy descendant of the music of Louis or Duke. We also protest the sponsorship of the broadcast by the German record company ECM.’ Historically the Marsalis party has been a strong supporter of the idea that jazz belongs only to African Americans. When asked ‘What do you think about European jazz?’ leader Wynton’s comment ‘If it is swinging and has some blues in it, I love it’, was greeted with derision by most European leaders, with Norway threatening to withdraw its ambassador from Washington. Only last year deputy leader Branford took this further saying that ‘only those who have internalised the culture and way of life of African Americans can become jazz musicians. A prerequisite for this is to live in the US.’ And, In a recent interview with Wynton, the pianist Ethan Iverson said that ‘Jazz culture wasn’t part of my upbringing’, to which Wynton replied ‘Yes, it was. You’re an American’. In these times of bi-partisanship these remarks could be seen as signs of a lessening of the Marsalis stance on race and origin. However the jazz website Destination Out chose to see it another way: ‘Here is Wynton at his best, his most magnanimous, his most Whitmanesque. Here’s the Dean of The One True Path of Real Jazz implicitly telling a white guy from Wisconsin that by taking the craft seriously and studying the past masters, that this is his birthright just as much as a third-generation musician from New Orleans. It’s a wonderful moment.’ President Obama’s address to the jazz world – made partially in Norwegian as a gesture to his hosts, forgetting perhaps, in a rare slip more reminiscent of his predecessor, that they speak better English than most Americans - made reference to both statements. He said that the change he was looking for was a much bigger one ‘We need to recognise that good jazz can come from anywhere in the world, be it Norway, Australia, even Kenya, ‘where my father came from, as I think I may have told you, and where they’ve named a road – or is it a town? – after me’. In his closing remarks the President said ‘my party’s motto – it ain’t who you are it’s the way that you do it’ - is more relevant to jazz today than the Marsalis party could ever have imagined. The first order I have given to newly appointed special jazz envoy Jan Garbarek, is that he go to Kenya to find that road – or town - and establish the first Barak Obama jazz college there. The Norwegian government has agreed to fund the scheme to have such colleges everywhere in the world on the condition that student’s originality would be encouraged (no more Coltrane-esque clones), and jazz standards would be barred. I realise that the decisions not to allow soloists to play long streams of meaningless scales, and to prevent ‘Autumn Leaves’ from being played anywhere ever again won’t be popular with the Marsalis party. But in this time of the credit crunch and global warming I have to think of all the CO2 we will save by cutting out unnecessary notes, and the forests we’ll save by not having to print hundreds of fake books.’ As Obama was leaving a member of the press asked where all the students would find work after they graduated. Pausing in mid-stride the President said he was working on that and it would be a priority of his some time during February.

has your credit/debit card been violated?? how many have you been reissued after your information was stolen???? our national credit card issuers are dragging their feet on updating their security technology and we are all paying a huge price. the next time you swipe your card, know that magnetic stripes are unsafe. while we merrily swipe away, remember that our credit card method is on the verge of extinction in the rest of the world. http://www.creditcar...curity-3183.php http://www.creditcar...t-card-1267.php http://www.creditcar...europe-1273.php Beware the next time you want to use your credit card at the check-out counter. This ritual is pretty out-dated and the rest of the world does not do this anymore. The US is the only developed country that seems to be hanging on to the debit cards and credit cards with the magnetic stripes, the ones that you normally swipe at retail outlets. All the other developed nations have switched over to the smart cards or the chip-based cards. The magnetic stripes on the back of these credit cards are very unsafe. Having account information on that magnetic stripe is as good as writing the information on the post card. All the information that is on the on the magnetic stripe can be copied easily. US merchants, consumers, and banks are spending billions each year to prevent credit card fraud. The advantage with the smart cards is the fact that the information cannot be copied. Hence, this helps in reducing fraud. These smart cards have the built-in chips and they are equivalent to having it in a safe. The information on these smart cards can only be unlocked with the use of the right key. Since the key information remains hidden, these cards cannot be replicated. However, the magnetic stripes seem to be so entrenched in the entire system in US that the retailers, banks, and payment processors have been unable to come to a consensus regarding revamping the entire system. At the moment, US are left behind the rest of the world and that is creating problems for the US citizens. Mallory Duncan who is the general counsel of the National Retail Federation states that the card system in the nation has been dysfunctional for quite some time now. There seems to be an increase in credit card fraud due to the technology which is so outdated. This should have been fixed a long time ago. Now, there are serious steps that are being taken to swap the conventional cards for the cards for the smart cards in the next few years. Visa had announced some change in policies last month and that will give the banks and the stores in the US a reason to make the switch and start accepting them at least starting from 2015. This is a watershed moment states Eric Schindewolf who is the product manager for 'smart cards' at Wells Fargo. He added that a number of smart cards are likely to come out in the near future. clapton
