This is more like it.........

Fingernails grow about 3 times quicker than toenails. They grow faster in summer than in winter and grow quicker on females than they do males. The growth rate can also be effected by diet and age.

Hang on let me set-up a think tank on it and I will get back to you

I think it is as much about not starting as it is about stopping

Memphis soul songwriter and musician Mabon "Teenie" Hodges. He was known as “Teenie,†but in the annals of soul and R&B history he was a giant: a million-selling songwriter, a genre-defining guitarist, and the creative and emotional anchor of the vaunted studio group Hi Rhythm. Mabon “Teenie†Hodges may have been small in physical size but his legacy was massive; his 50-year career and body of work serving as one of the cornerstones of the Memphis sound. Mr. Hodges died Sunday night at Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas, from complications of emphysema. He’d been taken to Baylor following an appearance at Austin’s South by Southwest music festival in March after coming down with pneumonia. He was 68 years old. Lawrence “Boo†Mitchell, a longtime family friend and grandson of Mr. Hodges’ mentor, the late producer Willie Mitchell, confirmed the news of his passing. Original Hi Rhythm Section member Mabon "Teenie" Hodges perform with famed Memphis band and Lisa G at The Stage on Sixth Patio for SXSW 2013 in Austin, TX on March 16, 2013. (John Anderson/Special to The Commercial Appeal "It's a huge blow to Memphis music," said an emotional Mitchell. "Teenie was an icon -- as a songwriter and a guitarist. Guitarists all around the world loved and imitated his playing. But Teenie ... man, he was one of a kind." During Hi Records' glory years starting in the late '60s, Mr. Hodges wrote or co-wrote many classics of the R&B genre, including a succession of hits with and for Al Green: "Here I Am," "Full of Fire," "Take Me to the River" and "Love and Happiness" Mr. Hodges was also the cornerstone of the famed Hi Rhythm band, under the direction Willie Mitchell. A singular-sounding unit, the group's languid, dreamy grooves became the signature that helped propel the careers of Otis Clay, Ann Peebles, Syl Johnson, and most notably, Green. Hodges and company would redefine the sound of R&B into the 1970s with their work on classic albums such as Green's Call Me and I'm Still In Love With You and Peebles' I Can't Stand the Rain. The group would carry the torch for Memphis soul even as Hi's South Memphis neighbors at Stax fell by the wayside. "What he did for Willie over at Hi was special and unique," said Mr. Hodges' close friend and Stax Records great, David Porter. "Teenie created the groove, the pocket, as one would call it. That came from the way he played rhythmically. That groove was what made the records for Al Green and so many others such big hits. And that sound, that feel, it came totally from Teenie's spirit. That's what the world should know about this man: his heart is in all those records." A diminutive figure with an outsized personality and flamboyant sense of style, Teenie Hodges was raised in a musical hothouse. Born in 1946 into a family of 12 children, he grew up in what were then the farm lands of post-World War II Germantown. Mr. Hodges' father, Leroy Sr., led his own blues outfit, the Germantown Blue Dots. Most of the Hodges boys apprenticed in the group -- including Teenie, who began playing guitar with the band at age 12. While Mr. Hodges continued working with his dad, his brother Leroy formed his own R&B band, the Impalas, with a group of young musicians who included Tommy Lee Williams and Archie Turner, the stepson of noted Memphis trumpeter and band leader Willie Mitchell. In the early '60s, Mr. Hodges, then just an eager-to-please teenager, turned up at Mitchell's home where the Impalas were rehearsing. "I really wanted Willie to hear me play," recalled Mr. Hodges in an interview with The Commercial Appeal in 2007. "He said 'No, you can't play worth a damn! Your problem is you use a thumb pick, you need to start playing with a flat pick.' So that's how I started playing with a flat pick. I was 16 when he told me that." That would be the first of many musical lessons Mitchell would offer Mr. Hodges. Within a few months, he had unofficially adopted Teenie, who came to live with and learn from Mitchell for the next seven years. "I'd go with him to his gigs at the Manhattan Club (in West Memphis)," recalled Mr. Hodges. "Sometimes I'd just sit there and watch. Sometimes I'd play a set. Then, eventually he hired me to play on the weekends. Then I went out of town to a show in Ohio. And I played with him everywhere after that." Within a year after Mr. Hodges became a full-fledged member of Mitchell's band in 1965, his brothers Charles and Leroy would also join, playing organ and bass. They would add drummer Howard Grimes, one of the pioneering young players who'd helped shape Stax's earliest recordings, thus birthing the core of what would become Hi Rhythm (adding Archie Turner on keys a few years later). In between their live dates, the band would develop their sound recording sides for Mitchell as well as a selection of his fellow Hi Records artists, including Ace Cannon, Charlie Rich and Jumpin' Gene Simmons. In the late '60s, Mitchell and the band cut back on their touring schedule, to focus more on the work at Royal Studio. By 1970, Mitchell had taken over the operation of Hi Records and began to reshape the company into a full-fledged R&B label. With Mr. Hodges serving as the group's linchpin and Mitchell's creative muse, the producer would make momentous innovations in the studio and on record. In their melding of jazz chords and R&B beats, sophisticated strings and melodic brass arrangements, Mitchell and his men changed the sound and feel of the music in the "Me Decade," moving it from the dance floor to the bedroom. They would, as author Peter Guralnick noted, "take soul music…to quiet, luxuriantly appointed places it had never been before." By the time Hi Rhythm reached its mid-'70s peak, their work with Green and others had yielded a remarkable run of gold and platinum albums and chart hits. In 1976, Hi Rhythm cut its own little-remembered but fiercely funky LP, On The Loose, which found Teenie, Charles and Archie Turner handling vocal duties. But, the following year, Hi Records was sold to Southern label mogul Alvin Bennett (who also purchased the remains of the bankrupt Stax) and in the transition to new ownership -- as well as the loss of Al Green to the church -- the studio band broke-up. "After that, I kinda stopped playing for a couple years," said Mr. Hodges. Mr. Hodges would return to music by 1979 and continued playing throughout the '80s and '90s, working with bluesman Albert Collins, touring Japan with Otis Clay, and periodically reforming the Hi Rhythm Section. In 2005, he began working with indie-pop chanteuse Cat Power, as part of her Memphis Rhythm Band. Mr. Hodges continued playing sessions in and around Memphis, largely at Royal Studios. Over the last few years, he worked with a range of artists including Sam Moore, Boz Scaggs, Mark Ronson, and his nephew, the rap star Drake. Several generations of Memphis guitarists would bow at his altar, marveling at the purity of Mr. Hodges' artistry. "He'd set up at the studio and I would expect him to come with a vintage telecaster and Fender amp," said Memphis guitarist Steve Selvidge, who worked on recording sessions with Mr. Hodges. "He would come with anything but that; he'd have these outlandish convention-defying guitars. Then he would plug in and play and it all clicked. It was always Teenie, no matter what guitar or amp he was using. The sound was in his head and his hands. He had an intuitive sense of what worked." "His guitar style personified Memphis music," said the North Mississippi Allstars' Luther Dickinson. "It was sophisticated and funky, joyful yet blue. " In more recent years, Mr. Hodges had been the subject of a documentary by filmmaker Susanna Vapnek. Starting in 2008, Vapnek spent several years shooting Hodges in and around his Memphis home base, interviewing family, friends and collaborators, capturing recording sessions and piecing together a narrative of his life. Titled "Mabon 'Teenie' Hodges: A Portrait of A Memphis Soul Original", the film would receive raves, screening at film festivals in Austin, Nashville, Santa Barbara, and in Hodges' hometown, where it was presented during the 2013 edition of the Indie Memphis Film Festival. The lovingly crafted documentary would prove a testament to Hodges' legacy as a songwriter. In addition to Green, Hodges wrote with the team of Isaac Hayes and David Porter, penning the Sam & Dave number "I Take What I Want," and would see his material covered by an amazing array of artists -- everyone from Welsh belter Tom Jones to reggae legends Toots and the Maytals -- over the course of his lifetime. One of the documentary's funniest moments comes as Hodges lists the names of all the artists who covered his "Take Me to the River" (the Talking Heads, Annie Lennox, Tina Turner), before noting that the use of the tune by the animatronic singing toy "Big Mouth Billy Bass" had produced the biggest royalties. "What a world, what a world," Mr. Hodges would note, laughing at the brilliant absurdity of the situation. Mr. Hodges continued to perform with Hi Rhythm up until this spring, helping promote a new film, "Take Me to the River" -- a cross-generational, cross-genre music documentary named after his most famous composition. Reflecting on his life and career in 2007, Mr. Hodges demurred when asked about his great gifts and contributions. "I just feel blessed to have been doing it this long," he said. "I didn't have nothing to do with it, really, God did it. But, yes, I do feel blessed I was able to make this music and make a lot of people happy." Mr. Hodges is survived by his children Valencia Hodges, Reginald Hodges, Shonte Stokes, Sheila Hodges, Sheri Hodges, Tabitha Gary, Inga Black, and Mabon L. Hodges II. Arrangements for funeral services have not been finalized, but are expected to take place in Memphis later this week.

Peter Greste trial: Al Jazeera journalist found guilty, sentenced to seven years in jail Updated 28 minutes ago Photo: Peter Greste (L) and Mohamed Fahmy © were sentenced to seven years in jail by a judge, while Baher Mohamed was sentenced to 10 years. (AFP: Khaled Desouki) Map: Egypt Australian journalist Peter Greste and two of his Al Jazeera colleagues have been found guilty by an Egypt court of spreading false news and supporting the blacklisted Muslim Brotherhood. Greste and Mohamed Fahmy were sentenced to seven years in jail by a judge and Baher Mohamed was sentenced to 10 years. Three other journalists who were tried in absentia were handed 10-year sentences. SoundCloud: Hayden Cooper describes scenes in court after Peter Greste's sentence Foreign Minister Julie Bishop said the Australian Government was "shocked" by the verdict and "appalled by the severity of it". Greste's parents Juris and Lois reacted with dismay: "My god, my god ... that's crazy, that's absolutely crazy." Middle East correspondent Hayden Cooper was in court for the verdict and said there was a look of despair on his brother Andrew Greste's face. Cooper described the scenes as "chaotic". Peter Greste banged the cage holding him when he heard the sentence. "We couldn't quite hear what the judge was saying but eventually it became clear the sentence was handed down," Cooper said. "The reaction was awful, basically. Everyone started shouting and then chanting ... the family are just stunned by the verdict. "It's really quite an extraordinary scene as the family try to come to grips with what has just happened." Greste's brothers Andrew and Mike were in court for the verdict. Andrew said there were chaotic scenes both there and outside the jail as Peter and the other defendants were rushed out of the courtroom. He said he was not able to speak to his brother, nor did the judge provide an explanation for the verdict. Video: Peter Greste's parents react to guilty verdict "I do understand that it's part of the process of delivering a verdict, I think that there is a written explanation of the court's decision, but that wasn't at all spoken in court and I haven't seen anything at all yet which outlines the reasoning," he told the ABC's 7.30 program. "It's pretty difficult to prepare yourself for that [verdict]. I don't know how you do prepare yourself. [it's] obviously something that we're going have to process and digest over the next day or two, but regardless of whether you prepare yourself, the emotions still are just devastated. I'm gutted. It's just unbelievable really. "Obviously Mike [Peter's other brother] and I are here together ... as soon as I can sort of make contact with Australia, I will be giving mum and dad a call." He said his family would now be exploring all of their options. "Obviously we're not going to give up the fight to get Peter released because we believe he's completely innocent. He's done nothing wrong," he said. "But it's just going to be a matter of looking at all the options and discussing it with people that have helped us along the way through this process and develop a strategy from here." Video: Andrew Greste 'gutted' by brother's jailing (7.30) Al Jazeera English managing director Al Anstey said the verdict "defies logic, sense, and any semblance of justice". "Peter, Mohamed, and Baher and six of our other colleagues were sentenced despite the fact that not a shred of evidence was found to support the extraordinary and false charges against them," he said in a statement. "At no point during the long drawn out trial did the absurd allegations stand up to scrutiny. There were many moments during the hearings where in any other court of law, the trial would be thrown out. "There were numerous irregularities in addition to the lack of evidence to stand up the ill-conceived allegations." Mr Anstey said the only sensible outcome was for "the verdict to be overturned, and justice to be recognised by Egypt". Ms Bishop told reporters the Federal Government was shocked by the verdict. "We are deeply dismayed by the fact that a sentence has been imposed and we are appalled by the severity of it," she said. Video: Julie Bishop discusses the verdict (ABC News) "It is hard to credit that the court in this case could have reached this conclusion. "This kind of verdict does nothing to support Egypt's claim to be on a transition to democracy, and the Australian Government urges the new government of Egypt to reflect on what message is being sent to the world about the situation in Egypt." Ms Bishop said the Government would try to find out whether an intervention was possible. "The Egyptian ambassador will be speaking to the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade tomorrow," she said. "I have spoken at length with Peter Greste's parents. They are considering their legal options, including appeal options. "We do not know how long an appeal process would take. But in the meantime, we will provide whatever consular assistance we can to Mr Greste and of course to his family." Opposition Leader Bill Shorten said he and Labor was "shocked at the awful news". "Labor will work with the Government to do whatever we can to remedy this problem at the earliest possible date," he said. "Our thoughts about this appalling news are with Peter Greste's family and Peter Greste. He should know that the whole of Australia is right behind him and his family." Prosecutors had been demanding 15-year penalty Greste, along with his colleagues Fahmy and Mohamed, had been in detention since their arrest in late December. Prosecutors were demanding the maximum penalty of between 15 and 20 years in jail for Greste and his co-accused. Profile: life and career of Peter Greste Take a look back at the Australian journalist's career. Greste and his colleagues are among a group of 20 journalists charged by the Egyptian government in a case that has triggered international outrage about press freedom in Egypt. Of that group, 16 are Egyptians accused with joining the Brotherhood, which was designated a terrorist organisation in the wake of the army ousting elected president Mohamed Morsi last July. Prosecutors said the relationship between Al Jazeera and the Muslim Brotherhood was like an alliance with the devil, and that Greste's reportage was intended to harm the Egyptian state. However, Greste told the judge that evidence against him had been falsified and asked for an acquittal. "Prosecutors did not present a single piece of evidence - there wasn't a single piece of evidence in court," he said earlier this month. "It was falsified, there weren't any facts that we got wrong. There was no story that we manipulated." The conviction comes after both Prime Minister Tony Abbott and Ms Bishop appealed to the Egyptian government on Greste's behalf. Greste's family, who have worked tirelessly to keep the journalist's plight in the spotlight, have previously conceded there was little the Government could do. Four foreigners, including Greste, were charged with "spreading false news" and collaborating with and assisting the Egyptian defendants in their crimes by providing media material, as well as editing and publishing it. Nine of the 20 defendants are in detention, with the others being tried in absentia, including three foreign reporters who are abroad. Greste's charges stem from what was supposed to be a "routine" three-week stint last December covering Egypt's political turmoil. "The fact that we were arrested for what seems to be a set of relatively uncontroversial stories tells us a lot about what counts as 'normal' and what is dangerous in post-revolutionary Egypt," Greste wrote in January. Egyptian authorities have enacted a fierce crackdown against Islamists since listing the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organisation. Brotherhood leader and 182 leaders were last week sentenced to death in a mass trial. http://www.abc.net.a...-guilty/5543292

Supply and demand come to mind. There will be others to replace them.

Gene Hackman still one of my favourite actors.

Sounds like too much drama. Will just deal with the idiots.

Does anybody know how to edit information on your omain hosting. Have a couple of snoops trying to run interference on a new business venture I am involved in and would like to throw them off the scent. Please keep in mind I get lost on computers for dummies.
