Sir John Richard Nicholas Stone (30 August 1913 6 December 1991) was an eminent British economist who in 1984 received the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences for developing an accounting model that could be used to track economic activities on a national and, later, an international scale. While he was not the first economist to work in this field, he was the first to do so with double entry accounting. Double entry accounting basically states that every income item on one side of the balance sheet must be met by an expenditure item on the opposite side of the accounting sheet therefore creating a system of balance. This double entry system is the basis of nearly all modern accounting today. This allowed for a reliable way of tracking trade and wealth transfer on a global scale.

Jim Carrey dazzles Johnny Carson 1991

- Author: ultimessence
28 year old Jim Carrey was already going full blast in his stand-up comedy career in 1991 when he appeared for the last time on Johnny Carson's Tonight Show in 1991. Jim had been on the Carson Show several times by this point and was becoming one of Johnny's favorite comics. With his wild, physical comedy and impulsive behavior, Carrey was already starting to eclipse his natural predecessor Robin Williams. This particular show was poignant because Johnny was only months from his big retirement and EVERYBODY was watching the show, knowing it was the end of an era. Jim was in his 3rd season of "In Living Color" and was quickly becoming the IT boy in Show business. "Why is he not a bigger star?" was the prevailing thought around Hollywood. This all changed in 1994 when Jim hit the international Zeitgeist with 3 big, starring movie roles and a BIG paycheck, reflecting his assured bankability. Despite his shy, nice guy demeanor, notice Carrey's sly, impish and highly developed sense of subversiveness. Not to mention what a fine mimic and impersonator he is. In the ensuing 17 years, he has proven himself a fine, subtle actor as well as an exciting presence in person and on the big and small screen. "Church Camouflage", indeed!

Doc Watson - 1991 - Black Mountain Rag. I've included Doc's introduction and explanation of his background with this particular tune. I've always loved the interesting anecdote that Doc developed his now legendary flatpicking style while playing a Les Paul (electric solid body guitar) while he was playing in a Rockabilly band in the 1950's. Additionally, I've heard that he actually didn't even own an acoustic guitar at that time. It's interesting that this style has since become associated with, nearly exclusively, acoustic guitars, particularly Martin dreadnoughts. I've always wondered what kind of reception a picker would get at the National Flatpicking Contest in Winfield Kansas if he were to show up to compete with a Les Paul in hand!
