But county now must find a replacement for Job & Family Services director
One new Stark County agency director was hired Wednesday, but another is on her way out.
The Stark County Commissioners hired James F. Troike as sanitary engineer of the county — he replaces the retiring Jim Jones. At the same time, though, they accepted the resignation of Job & Family Services Director Julie Barnes, who's taking a post in Summit County.
"It is sincerely regrettable that I accept this resignation," said Commissioner Janet Weir Creighton, who praised Barnes' performance.
Commissioners had received a resignation letter from Barnes last week, effective Dec. 20. Barnes has accepted a job as executive director of Summit County Children Services.
So, Stark officials now are seeking her replacement. As director of Job & Family Services, she headed a staff of more than 450 employees, with an annual budget of about $50 million, and directed the human services, child support and children services divisions.
Troike, the new sanitary engineer, begins Dec, 9. He'll earn $96,000 to head a staff of about 85 employees. The retirement of Jones, the current sanitary engineer, is effective at the end of the month.
Commissioners named Assistant Sanitary Engineer Jeff Yohe as acting engineer for the one-week gap before Troike arrives.
Troike is currently sanitary engineer for Medina County, a post he's held since 2006. In that role, he not only oversaw sanitary sewer operations, but also water and solid waste divisions.
"It's going to be a different arrangement (in Stark)," he said when contacted by phone Wednesday, explaining that his youngest son is in college, opening the door for a career change.
Also Wednesday, commissioners made a handful of appointments: Anthony S. Dugan (Local Emergency Planning Committee); Todd Frank, Carlene Harmon and Larry Marcus (Board of Developmental Disabilities) and Edward Lenzy to the Multi-County Board of Trustees.

Alliance Recovery Corporation (the "Company") (OTCBB:ARVY) is pleased to announce that it has executed a $20,000,000 equity line financing agreement with Dutchess Private Equities Fund Ltd. of Boston, Massachusetts. The proceeds of this financing agreement will be used to construct the company's energy alternatives showcase "waste to energy" processing facility. When completed, this initial "waste to energy" processing facility will be the first of several similar installations that will be located in, or immediately adjacent to, large metropolitan centers in the U.S. and Europe. The utilization of alternative fuels to make "clean energy" will contribute to the reduction of America's dependence on foreign oil.
Once construction is completed, the Alliance "waste to energy" processing showcase will be a significant energy alternatives achievement that dovetails with US initiatives to reduce dependence on foreign oil sources. The ability to utilize a thermal/chemical reaction to reduce rubber to a fuel oil for use in conventional reciprocating engines driving alternators to make electricity is also an effective method for dealing with waste rubber and the challenging environmental hazardous accumulations of scrap tires that continue to be stockpiled, illegally dumped and/or simply burned. The additional Alliance process focus is the recovery of value-added residuals produced contemporaneously in the rubber to oil conversion process.
Alliance's systems integration of existing chemical processing and thermal technologies will allow the showcase to process any form of rubber waste, including whole scrap tires, without any form of pre-treatment, shredding or grinding. The system will operate as a single pass process. The process conditions will ensure that the residual carbon black produced by the system is of a commercial grade and does not require any further processing or upgrading. The Alliance process is much more cost-effective than the attempted historical and not commercially successful approach of a pyrolysis oven, which produces a carbon rich pyrolysed product requiring further costly upgrading and refining.
Various state and federal agencies have suggested that, when determining the number of scrap tires that a community annually generates, the rule of thumb in the U.S. is one passenger tire equivalent for every man, women and child within the jurisdiction. As a point of final disposition, the Alliance "waste to energy" showcase will consume an amount of waste rubber that is equivalent to approximately 5,000,000 passenger tire equivalents annually, an activity that will positively impact the environment and conserve US energy resources.
The execution of the $20,000,000 financing agreement now positions the company to commence construction and specific tasks pertaining to the fabrication, site construction and start-up of the Alliance energy alternatives showcase waste to energy facility. In addition to contracting with Resource International of Ashland, Virginia to head up the overall project management team and the opening of a construction office in the summer of 2007, financing proceeds will allow initial construction and fabrication activities to commence at the selected site.
The initial responsibility of the project management team will be to review the pre-qualified development sites and to select up to 3 approved sites. Several development site locations are currently being considered. In the immediate weeks ahead, the company will continue to pre-qualify additional development sites to determine the optimum location for the showcase installation. All of these sites are either in, or immediately adjacent to, large metropolitan centers that generate huge volumes of waste rubber annually, thereby ensuring an adequate fuel source for Alliance electrical energy production.
Upon completion of construction, targeted marketing activities for the expansion of the Alliance "waste to energy" processing facilities will originate from the showcase installation. The showcase will also be configured as the company's employee and management training and incubation center to support the U.S. expansion of similar Alliance "waste to energy" installations. The company's future energy alternatives research and development efforts will also be housed at the showcase installation.


text: Camelot: John F. Kennedy was the youngest man ever elected president and the youngest to die in office. He was also the first Roman Catholic president. While in office, he called for new civil rights legislation, created the Peace Corps, asked Congress to spend more on space exploration, and inspired a generation of young people to become involved in politics and public service. The nation was dazzled by the young president and his beautiful wife Jacqueline Kennedy, who brought culture and glamour to the White House. Meanwhile, however, tension with the Communist world was heightening. During the failed Bay of Pigs invasion against Cuba, Kennedy and his advisors tried unsuccessfully to overthrow Communist leader Fidel Castro. A year later, when the Soviets began to install nuclear missile bases in Cuba, Kennedy ordered U.S. Navy ships to surround the island. The Soviet Union and United States came close to nuclear war before the Soviets gave in and removed the missiles in return for a promise that the United States would not invade Cuba. On November 22, 1963, Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas, leaving behind a stunned and grieving nation.

Purple sweet potatoes, purple cauliflower, purple asparagus, elderberries, acai, black rice, and purple corn – violet-hued foods are projected to be increasingly on the plate in 2017, according to Whole Foods.
The supermarket chain analyzed consumer behaviour across 465 stores internationally, and said that purple foods are picking up momentum. "Back to the Roots Purple Corn Cereal, Jackson's Honest Purple Heirloom Potato Chips, Que Pasa Purple Corn Tortilla Chips, Love Beets and Stokes Purple Sweet Potatoes are all examples of this fast-growing trend," they said in an online statement.
Acai bowls, which have been bouncing around the Internet for the past couple of years, are in step with the projected trend. The tropical, grape-like berries "contain antioxidants, fibre and heart-healthy fats," according to the Mayo Clinic. The natural vibrant colour of purple foods in general is often a indicator of antioxidant value, Whole Foods said in its statement.
Agreeing that purple foods are the bearers of natural nutritional benefits, Matthew Plowman, a Nutrition Adviser at Cardiff Sports Nutrition told the Telegraph: "The benefits of antioxidants have long been discussed, but they are known to fight disease, keep you looking younger, reduce inflammation and are good for your heart – basically, why wouldn't you eat them?"
Along with purple foods, Whole Foods predicts a 2017 boost in wellness tonics such as drinking vinegars and turmeric elixirs, products from byproducts such as probiotic drinks made from the whey leftover from yogurt-making, more diverse Japanese ingredients and condiments, and "coconut everything."

The TI part I'm looking at says its switching time is 4.7ns, which equates to roughly 2MHz, so that should be okay, I think?
I just read a blog post where the guy was able to cleanly pass a 860kHz (430,000 baud?) signal through the 74HCT125, so that sounds pretty okay to me.

Biomaterials research has mainly focused on moving away inorganic, man-made materials for reconstructive procedures (although we have seen continuing work there as well) and towards biocompatible scaffolds that can facilitate the regrowth of natural body structures. Mimicking the body's unique mix of biocompatibility, mechanical integrity, and channels for moving nutrients and waste is a difficult task, and often one feature will come at the expense of another. Researchers have been experimenting with high pressure gases for hydrogel cellular scaffold material growth, with promising results.
Hydrogels are a natural choice for a soft-tissue scaffold—after all, they, like us, are mostly water anyway. Their production typically includes a natural polymer, often derived from tissue, and a chemical agent to cross-link the polymer chains. Cross-linking is exactly as it sounds: chains of the natural polymer are bonded together at mid-points to form a mesh structure. The density of these cross links and the conditions that they form under are huge factors in defining both the mechanical integrity of the gel, as well as its pore structure, which cells will need to grow into.
Work has been progressing in running the cross-linking reactions in high-pressure gases, mainly CO2 due to its compatibility with the scaffold materials. High-pressure gases are held near the critical point, meaning that they flow and behave somewhat like a liquid. In some recent experiments, polymer α-elastin was used for the scaffold material, and experiments were carried out using the cross linking agent glutaraldehyde and various times and pressures of CO2.
Just during simple handling, it became clear that the hydrogels produced under high pressures were much more mechanically robust than those produced at atmospheric pressures. Electron microscopy showed that, even though the average pore size in the high-pressure hydrogels was smaller, the interconnectivity among pores was greatly improved—that's a key factor that influences cell ingrowth, as well as the movement oxygen, nutrients, and cell waste. Tests with the atmospheric pressure hydrogel showed that cells only attached to the surface, with poor penetration into the bulk of the material. The high-pressure variant had much more complete cell penetration, at least to the extent that was allowed by the relatively small pores.
Although researchers pointed out that this isn't a perfect, sliver-bullet hydrogel cellular scaffold material, the preliminary work is very encouraging. There are many more scaffold materials currently being tested for all sorts of tissue regeneration applications, and this process modification may enable materials that are deficient in their cellular compatibility to be processed in a way that makes them more useful. Although development and testing of anything related to medicine is a rigorous and often arduous process, the recent breakthroughs in biomaterials are encouraging.

Many times this year we've listened to PJ Harvey's Let England Shake and almost each and every time we marvel at its brilliance. You may remember the films which were made for every track on the album by Seamus Murphy, we ran a few of them after all. Well, the good news for anybody who was or still is a fan of these is that they're going to be released on DVD together on December 12 through Island.
Murphy travelled across England to create the films and they work standing alone, with music or altogether as a collection. The DVD also contains previously unseen film for 'England' as well as Murphy's notes on making the films.
Below is the tracklisting for the DVD as well as the artwork/cover.
- Let England Shake
- The Last Living Rose
- The Glorious Land
- The Words That Maketh Murder
- All And Everyone
- On Battleship Hill
- England

(CMT Offstage keeps a 24/7 watch on everything that's happening with country music artists behind the scenes and out of the spotlight.)
This was my takeaway from Miranda Lambert on Friday night (Oct. 26) after 20/20: All Access Nashville With Katie Couric : Fireball Whisky shots are good, happy songs are bad.
The Pistol Annies were on the show talking about their cinnamon whisky preshow ritual shots, the thrill of a lifetime when they played for Loretta Lynn ("My head almost popped off," said Holler Annie Angeleena Presley), and how Lambert came up with the band's name while she was soaking up the faux sun in a tanning bed.
But Lambert also talked candidly about how some of the band's songs aren't necessarily of the love song variety. "I'll have a happy song here and there, but when I'm going through a bad time, a happy song pisses me off," she admitted. "I'm like, 'Where's the cheatin' and drinkin' songs? I feel like crap today.'"

We can think of plenty of occasions when this makeup-setting powder would have made all the difference (eighth-grade prom in particular comes to mind). Now that we know better, we use Dermablend™'s powder to prevent awkward makeup meltdowns. Designed for makeup artists, the colorless, lightweight talc formula works with all skin tones and expertly keeps primers, foundations, and concealers in place. Your photos will thank you later.
So I purchased this after reading other reviews and was hesitant about the powder because I'm olive toned and this powder is well, white!
The first time I opened the powder up and tried it I used the puff that came with it but found it puts far too much product on my face, so instead I've been using a larger powder brush to dust it on and it's much better.
A little does go a long way.
I didn't think the powder had really made a difference but over the past few days that I've been using it I have noticed that my face has stayed matte for far longer than usual and my make up looks set hours later.
I like the product because it definitely gives you a lot for what you pay for and does its job.
An employee at the SOHO store recommended this product to me the beginning of the year and I've already repurchased once more! I use it every day to set my foundation and its perfect for me. It is lightweight and blends easily. It has no shimmer and never leaves a white tint to your face. As far as I'm concerned, the perfect setting powder.5
I really like the Dermablend coverage. The powder is pure white, which I wasn't really sure about, but it goes on translucent and keeps all of my makeup where it belongs and gets rid of shine. I use a small brush and use the powder mostly below my eyes to deter my eyeliner from running down into my wrinkles below my eyes. I did buy the full size version and bout the sample set for my daughter to try with the primer and makeup, and she likes this powder too.5
This stuff is awesome! I have oily cheeks. They usually get very shiny only an hour or two after I apply make up, and I was constantly re-applying powder through out the day which made my make up look cakey. Now I put this on over the rest of my face make up and it really does stay all day long. I don't have to re-apply, my face doesn't get shiny, and it's basically invisible so it doesn't cover up all the hard work I put into contouring and highlighting. It is kind of like walking around with a soft focus lens all day! I love it!5
I don't wear a whole lot of makeup and I was looking for a translucent powder to wear over my beloved bb creams. :) I decided on this powder by Dermablend and I absolutely LOVE it! It works great and goes on nice and smooth. My makeup stays put all day. I don't care for the puff that it came with, so I use my powder brush instead and it works perfectly for me. I would 100% recommend!5
I've had my eye out for a good setting powder or spray for a while. I recently started working 12 hour shifts and starting noticing my makeup fading really bad around my nose so I wanted something to help with that. I landed on this powder because the price point was good and I figured I could just use it on my nose (versus a spray on my whole face).
When I got this, I really wasn't expecting miracles, just hoping it'd be better than nothing. I was surprised!!!! It kept my make up on my nose all day!! even after blowing my nose, my makeup barely budged in 12 hours! I am recommending this to everyone I know!!

The Greek government stands on the point of collapse, with the country set for a general election over membership of the euro rather than the referendum planned for early December.
Calls for a national unity government embracing the opposition also intensified as EU political leaders and financial markets demanded an end to the regional uncertainty unleashed by a small country on the periphery of the eurozone and called for measures to prevent a slide into Europe-wide slump.
George Papandreou called an emergency meeting of his cabinet for noon local time (10am GMT) on Thursday after his finance minister broke ranks over the referendum and several socialist deputies quit or threatened to quit his Pasok bloc in parliament.
Papandreou's political survival both as prime minister and head of the Pasok party will be determined by the cabinet meeting. Filing into parliament for the session MPs said they would listen to the leader's assessment of the Cannes meeting before they "made up their minds" as to whether to back the confidence motion.
"The PM has realised that his referendum call has backfired disastrously," one Pasok cadre told the Guardian. "He knows the vote cannot be held and that the overriding question now is when the country holds elections."
At all costs, said aides, Papandreou was keen to avoid a bout of "unnecessary blood-letting" that would further increase the political and economic uncertainty engulfing Greece.
"What we need is calm … not a massacre which has happened before," said Apostalos Kaklamanis, who helped found Pasok out of an anti-resistance movement with Papandreou's father, Andreas, following the collapse in 1974 of military rule.
Another veteran socialist, Telemachos Hytiris, said Papandreou should now assemble a government of national unity with the purpose of ratifying last week's EU/IMF bailout for the country and then call early elections.
"The prime minister should call the other parties to join a coalition government and share the responsibility, to allow the European deal to pass and the next loan tranche to be disbursed," he told reporters. "After that we should smoothly go to elections."
Papandreou faces defeat in parliament on Friday on a confidence vote after his majority sank to just one as deputies loyal to Evangelos Venizelos, the finance minister and would-be premier, abandoned the socialist prime minister.
The political chaos threatens to bring wider contagion in eurozone financial markets, with Italy in the firing line as yields (interest rates) on government bonds reach historic highs and Silvio Berlusconi loses his grip on the reins of power.
EU leaders publicly and privately are putting enormous pressure on Antonis Samaras, leader of Greece's opposition New Democracy party, to drop his populist anti-austerity stance and join a government of national unity.
This was the message from the French president, Nicolas Sarkozy, and the German chancellor, Angela Merkel, at their stormy talks with Papandreou and Venizelos at the G20 summit in Cannes overnight. Christine Lagarde, the IMF managing director, has directed similar messages at Greek leaders in recent days.
Venizelos took the unprecedented step of issuing an official statement at 4.45am local time on Thursday in Athens after stepping off the plane from Cannes. It said: "Greece's position within the euro area is a historic conquest of the country that cannot be put in doubt. This acquis by the Greek people cannot depend on a referendum."
Venizelos added that the sixth tranche of the original €110bn bailout, worth €8bn and destined to pay government officials' salaries, must be paid "without any distractions or delay". Sarkozy and Merkel refused point blank to pay it because of the turmoil caused by Papandreou's referendum plans.
Papandreou insisted overnight that he had only decided upon a national referendum because of the failure to reach a "wider consensus" on the bailouts and accompanying austerity programmes. He also conceded he was not certain to win tomorrow night's confidence vote, or the plebiscite for that matter.
Amid the political turmoil Jean-Claude Juncker, the eurogroup chairman and veteran Luxembourg premier, raised for the first time the prospect of Greece's exit from the eurozone.
"We cannot permanently ride a rollercoaster on Greece; we have to know where things are going, and the Greeks have to tell us where they would like things to go," he told German ZDF television.
He added: "I am very decidedly of the opinion that everything must be done so that one euro country does not leave the 17 but if that were the wish of the Greeks, and I would find that wrong, we cannot force the Greeks.
"If the Greeks make clear via a referendum that they would feel better outside the eurozone than inside the eurozone, then this is a Greek decision, then our Greek friends have to describe the way by which they want to get out of the eurozone."

I think that because of the ... guy showed money in the record industry's Wall Street thought of paying attention ... and when was the thought of paying attention ... and the album sleeve and record company signing ... the OB was Bob Seeger ... in Detroit ... they go find some guy that looked like Bob Seeger with one song that made for his album The with seventeen other songs ... the interior any charge every bring this from eighteen bucks ... they really only one of the once on two I believe what happened when ... the camera out educate the audience what they wanted was an excuse to not buy the God you know in the first place and ... that so I feel about I feel that the quality of the ... big the quality the music and start to deteriorate crucible yet some people making a racket in the way some Elton John good guys were just ... tremendous accounting ... but label started putting anything up with Smyth hours that still now let's fast forward to day another bro use them or if they are ... but you work for one of them right still I had ever Antibes can you can ... put that much you were all starting to realize you know that ... go back to two thousand when ... when down the band is actually coming to get will help the now but ... I go back to two thousand when was the nineteen ninety nine when actually came out ... natural gas ... I just had ... with feelings like to go ... on to write down and met with less blood is fun for me until the founders ... track I what their server can produce a window at dinner still put the timer went isn't Dyson Latino ... this whole week to burn it all this of this if we can work together we can help we can help ... differentiate UB can help weaken ... you know ... make your company more corn than others ... to differentiation says Intel got to stay customers ... it was one of the ... carbon cycle plays I could get to me right ... before that Steve Jobs right ... so I went to high single week in ... the one and over relations with one of the guys that ... really understood the game to give credibility ... to let them use the word of great stories to be but the only problem is ... not every industry which make Alaska ... at some lessons yet so I though maybe I called on Mars whose Kindle and with whom I was there for thirty years with great friends ... I said we're screwed ... write ... his weaning risk averse and these guys don't want all and ... they want all boarded to take back with them ... and leave us without warning here they are one on hand ... and a you know he's in northern and at that moment I knew ... that everything which is which is Beats launch of my company beats which is everything we know is now wrong ... that's how beats target starter from that premise ... I said ... ok the only way one can defend against this really ... is that make us sell ... our autumn color content like a live musical movies ... content is where ... user generated things other things the content but ... we do with ... the year in a recording studio music right ... the hall ... I'm ... so I you know I'd I'd just the start I thought the bill ... what I thought was important which is to show that our culture could push out its own electronic he really think the record companies were doing the right anger ... either by the artists or by the the the the consumers ... I really think ... anyone would they when they would have been some when they've been less vulnerable they've been doing the right thing but the right thing meeting well meaning putting out better music you save yourself they would sign people got to eighteen songs that didn't belong on and I and I chimed in I believe this ... way over charge people for the CDC now ... I agree ... I agree though I mean ... but they still they even if they ... even if they were doing it another way no one got greedy and Primera Wall Street to go for recognition was the ... subject of the total six guys in charge of all the labels ... were from the music business ... I'm a guy known this guy that guy in a ... note of the baby came it became about ... making numbers making profits in all my stuff so which is cool but ... the wreckage of without that was ready for it and ... Dame when NASA started they really won me for that ... because I think she did it ... they put a pull the goalie was up front ... they said this is a defensive problem ... the legal problem ... this is not a distribution problem ... is the legal problems so you had to write you know ... get the deal with that so that's kind of how I felt ... was going to when you meet Steve jobs are either meet the Geitner when cold ... and as the ducted marshaling our pride March was the CEO of ... of of Universal Music Group and Allergan CEO style of Sony ... a great man and I still work for him to go my company twice wanted one is one universal Interscope Records ... and I'm I'm that's only one in the water and a universal ... and them ... a key worry I'm Cokes because of rain ... given the lobby of ... the disaster I know can ... so Billy Doran get the jobs right to sell or after the the I pod the reason I can do is right and the I pod before iTunes ... she wanted ... to show died ... iTunes saw ducks and me is um is there some on the West ... so I'm not that I did the first meeting with Steve Jobs ... and since I saw it I knew all I could think about is how ... our lawyers would never let this music and online he legally ... damage that had been out of business to and after three years are ready ... so with maps that time ... and nothing me go online because they couldn't figure out the licenses are there also ... so just worried and frightened scared to death ... when Iggy ... to compete with for a duet this year at ... a kid has the right to buy reckoned to be doing his homework ... on his laptop here with Opko's mother tried to direct and star guard directors don't spend fifteen eighteen dollars or whatever it is comebacks laws are working and or just go to resign steel ... Frank ... I was born in Brooklyn I know what the answer to it ... so you know I I say don't we have to do this ... we have ... we have the wood giving him Ally said would never going to have music online legally unless somebody gems that right now ... with a big proponent of steel which I stood out was to look very ... nice to let you know I just think that he had the right idea ... I think that'll make the progress now but to but that was ok but there were some things that you don't ... you think ... were wrong with ... that with the I tunes approach the actions world the I pod world ... that something about the quality and music may well be in this review starting beats yes yes the clothes that would get headphones and he started right after I met Steve and I can go and watch them into a tree and I realize that love this guy is that I mean ... it's it's just a funny side is not really might be thought about but ... I sure will know the real shiny ... great looking instrument that plays music but there's not a real shining radiation as it descended to to listen to the ... rest of the three BC is really black and shiny ... looks like the I pod ... for more than ... ever but it was something about the quality of photos nothing else the trial that while he was selling in everybody was well Apple got everything right ... except that here but ... you know what somewhat the files ... you could just use the system is only as good as its weakest link ... and when you have an entire generation ... hailing Apple ... and thinking because that year but is in there ... and it's white ... and that means you guys ... classes Iowa ... slackers you have that white here but even if it cost him a nickel it sounded terrible with no emotion wide Nicholas was flat ... Steve liked that they wanted ... flat that was that was in there to see if it worked ... that's that ... you know it was no emotion ... should raise the company all the time you know I don't care about the steel and music are ... the brave really care about is that the music is not being interpreted right I spend months on one song ... and am ... you know it sounds terrible ... terrible on laptop on PCs this terrible on this here but ... so we got together and we decided to try to move ... that being overweight young kids was the sounds of peace if anything ... a guy to young people interested in knowing you again which really was just was not cool for very long time no one cared about all the ... and the Winners peeps stand ... right now on it but an uproar over very Fortune First Mobile most proud of ... is that we got to entice young generation anybody who has kids know that ... they want ... I Phones now they want cool phones ... they they know that that year but it sounds like ... they know that ... most ... headphones don't sound emotional ... we wanted to bring how we felt headphones and music should sound the president on ... an hour on the speakers everyone affixed in ... the degradation of Audi like in the digital revolution what makes you more qualified than say the chief engineer IPOs ... to figure out how how a song cyclists in nineteen seventy three I was a recording studio making rag is that I mean was in ... school somewhere ... in computer sciences something yes I am a record I know for fact that the chief engineer both of them made an album ... I've made up really wonder if ... you know and the doc did raise may be so mean ... I come from the rock world because in a pop world ... with a lot of friends in both areas for each and every it on so ... we get guys in both worlds and ... and we don't stop until directing plays ... music backed away from postal CEO ... July guys Gaudio ... our last and ... when it was purely the night ... oh we have to ... use so scope ... and get with on the digital signal and replicate that ... the stellar game one dozen recordings he will people the recording studio when I listen to you choose record or ... reais reckon ... it again Aegis of wealth is giving eight thousand Watts Under Bryson and ... blow it up ... you know and and ... so we came in ... was some now look great ... and sounded really emotional and its win ... okay ... say you've won ... not all remaining ... Mark more people are using Beats headphones then use various kinds of debt in year to year but it was very fortunate we have a very big on the worldwide market now when we intend to keep improving the quality isn't the message ... the message out to get on that ... it's the sound is the only conduit promotions ... in music ... so we have ... this on ... if it's going through ... a terrible sounding speaker ... there is no motion ... so now the noisy music for a ... body found ... I don't know I'm not feeling that while not why I'm feeling a videogame on the news that they don't know that subconsciously ... that there is no motion ... and there's nothing that beats that has to do just what ... you know in Asian style has a lot has to do an image and style but how wealthy get ... young people is that everywhere they need better equipment to everything we do is amazing what ... those other headphone look like medical equipment ... we don't know how to do that ... if I can find it for a link on day one supply data comes into my office in the ... headphones ... they know what was going with us and them and what that was an instinctive thing that we need to make them look like that ... readers would know how to do when you're the way we look at those that are going to lead by ... right ... now and you know people stomach to make the green and yellow in it but you know that that the joke is over ... okay ... so you're here today because ... I like to be well thank you ... very nice but ... but you know Peter ... Kafka whose is whose are our beloved producer of this conference has done a great job right ... it's ... the ... the Dalai ... it would be interesting to hear about your new project still on this theme which we started when you ... talk to me about the prom with the CD ... no Moshe and you know ... that nobody who really made records really involved in at the Wall Street guys now ... all the way through with the earbuds on the I pod and all that stuff ... you're about to try to ... two more to solve the music from the greenback would you consider the real reason is that right well when doing is the isthe CEO of music ... is an ocean of music out there ... and is absolutely no cure nation full ... and ... you don't your friends can carry him to the France game ... it's all about what song comes next no one knows what's on the back ... I guarantee you everybody in the organs including view me ... really struggle to get music for the actual thing that that the event the thing that they doing at that moment ... the gym ... and dinner party ... Dr ... John to Coachella whatever that thing is no wonder the information ... Apple knows a lot about your musical taste ... you know I've googled knows a lot there a lot of information ... right on Facebook but no one's using it to carry ... and ... right now everything is ... this sixteen twenty twenty five million songs can be a credit card to the other systems gridlock ... and that which I am to step in and of because they don't make the commitment of the brand and beats ... we have some Kyrie it that's a loyalty that would then try to ... harness that thing get people on music in a comparable way ... so what he mean the state rationing ... peak Steve jobs probably said to ration a thousand times on state never know what song comes next ... tell us about music for Saperstein Beck you're eating Apps infuriating whatever he was the Ally FM radio with a listen to more than anything else you know why they tell you what song comes next ... everyone wants to know what to look like and who doesn't know what's on taxes your best friend on Facebook ... if you know what's on collecting began intuitive fifty thousand albums I ... like David get is that tell you what's on what ... comes next so what's on should ... know what to what comes next ... scrums that you put that record in providing housing one somebody guessing ... you want a trusted source ... to make a list EU ... directive which ... may be the first time here you go you know I don't like Madonna like that unlike arcade fire the Bank arcade fire to like Mumford and sons ... so some of the interacting and ... sorting that out the Duke and other newbuilds forge real music ... to serve adopting the more you go on until spot by this into that ... that the search engine you know it's the utility and we went on competition was Popeye we do a completely different things is that the euro was I so let's back up and when you say we this is the new music service yes it's a subscription music service to ... its gonna be called beaks yes that's me me or gives access full product so far ... aam you can allow people will listen to a non crafty earbuds if they want ... well yes I mean you know they have you know what we're going on two fronts unit or whatever ... but you are building this pops up minority existed and pale called mosque right right ... those of the old ... subscription is that the utility ... Monday's White Lion ... because infrastructure Tuesday technology the engineers were great to talk to hire ... fifty engineers that are really good right come you know we were able to retain ninety nine percent of them ... so we won the gems doctors who won the game to this they wanted to speed the process of re bought Mock ...

I play and the Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan as my two favorite groups which they are right ... for that and I look for strong potential begin the ten songs back ... three John Entwistle soul erected twenty console reckon when Mick Jagger one Moby grape ... and wine now the job the hook ... when it with that ... so ... that the Mets solution ... if you really doesn't work below ... so when putting a lot of elbow grease and were putting would we know how to do which is scary ... the guys the guys that I have on my team in our history in music ... and because we know we're ... all the guys that were in radio when they read the work now been fired and with the old guys on the new guys and we have all the information ... and we are making ... tons and tons of curator list ... that we're going to interact with you when you get something so that you can go into the gym now we know we wanna market going to gym ... five days a week we know that right so when you wake up in the morning that it was for the gym ... seriously yet ... and I will have to make it now ... you're going to search ... with Belgian I've to search the time to build a playlist and such ... yet but I don't have to know ... I'm in a week of the morning it's gonna get silly I go to the gym got ... to spend a little bit like artificial intelligence music ... gets ... the same wall ... get off euro hit six years of music for this week's six choices you wanna go and even going deep above the upper right now is people need is easy ... remained service no one's going to pay for music like that ... we're at thirty seven ... forty one billion dollars into contention was that in them ... in two thousand and one ... right now its seventeen billion would not Guinea get back to forty one and the owners are going to get back to that one song that I ... I tunes was great but it needs to step forward I really believe I pray I know I'd I'd we've done at a ... record producer agreed as a record company guy and I believe that the guidance of stockings I just believe it ... winning at once is going to come bail and will put over the summer in town ... wouldn't you know it's it's a proactive its intelligent its personnel ... one thing it is the one thing it doesn't have to know if this conference Leicester when you're young ... he spent his time on stage ... about the quality of ... the three VAC and the files in the compressed music files that will have on our ... lawns are ... PCs and Macs everything like that ... and it ... is telling us that he was constructed staying which legacies in the process of starting date or a ... clacking call on our stuff like that and there's another company and is another outfit ... ay ay River has made a device for Business HD music ... huge files slow downloads ... but ... much higher quality mature betray ... is that interest you ... is that interest me we turned in anti a generation on the sound ... they will last to be on ... the year but it and PC right they told me are not about a few minutes ago you said you're not that worried about file not I'm not worried about the fire is that you can't you seven things that one ... we have the playback systems in place for many of the best file that are available to us right now this is the isthe model we sounded really good ... mangos used the best technology as far as Dalli's whatever's available to us ... at home and make it sound great but right now in that in this area much rarity sound and that the limit for articulation ... but it will sound great deal sounds good is a good sound right now noticed keep moving the ball forward ... nor it took to get ... in and out of which are a lot of Europe's kids out there ... we took to get them to move from thinking that a sneaker was more viable than a pair of Toms ... was not an easy task ... piano and they don't play sports ... but they want the expense of sneaker anyway I would ask what my you know so we had to ... I was a lot of work and I'm really proud of it is an entire generation that was last down ... I've been very smart people tell me ... that no one will pay for Santa ... but they were all been ... there ... and the new service ... advances that by making it easy ... to come up with an intelligent ... cure rated bought a whole ... music based decision that turning point and nobody else is doing ... no one never know what of coating didn't give cool turns on a subscription service or Apple turns up ... a lot of rumors about Apple to Pandora radio ... with radio that's very different game this is ... its curator Weymouth thousand stations and the wheel I don't know um well we learn because the stock out so much ... was Steve Jobs ... had liberal arts and technology as we all know we've heard a thousand times what was ... right ... most technology companies the cold chilly in him ...

I would be miles ahead of them so I don't care what you did you know don't care what Google and Apple I mean I came I saw up they have a lot ... a lot of music ... you know and all the same service except Apple Apple's iTunes Ally Khan's very straight hair is very helpful here you are my a song is fantastic ... write what they do they do great ... when you are to be completely different ... we honor service you ... in the music space what we think ... uni ... which is basically what song comes next ... what song comes which is so important to know was the one songs ups ... write a ... mean guy ... from people who've been on a new driving away I know that's right ... oh you were tied to soured on shuffle but that's not ... you put one on show ... this the stuff I have seen a thousand songs yet read job for a night alone him ... what what's wrong with that ... if the judges to stand up and say shuffle was the great state wide and Bruce Springsteen take six months the sequence want to run with a song ... because it's important work phone comes next ... he has created a round ... piece of music and how long ... it just makes it all up you know it it ... has to be generated to get as in im okay well suppose I set the ... the the I pod my car display born to run and don't start to finish Valley workers ... the work that I know what's on that what people want now ... a generation ... is being brought up to like different kinds of music at different times and very eclectic ... my daughter please patsy Cline and be on sale in the same ... platinum thing playlist ... Weisel Whipple are at another playlist patsy Cline MBS well it is odd to anyone and emotional chord with for ... these kids all technology prone ... Arch from that a different kid out there right now and ... we can't just give them albums that telling us know right I mean ... however they have this week ... they want they don't want so in a way you're ... doing a virtual album here by creating a list of absolute night ... thank you thank you so much to me ... questions anyone ... broken up ... as a whole roomful of music people ... Mr Welch ... the the restrictions Wall mentioned about comedy songs by Cuban artists to listen to an hour or which led to the radio right sequence ... yet but they're not because the programmers are stupid ... there because those are copyright restriction ins Taylor Contec sublimely you understood and they already understand ... what he seemed to imply that the depression sufferers have provided the different ... regions servers sliding to inspire product you would you pay ten dollars a month ... and you can listen to me wanna listen to ... you know when you want this free service is different than the ... radio ... service is different and some streaming services at the bottom ones is sufficiently pay ten dollars mark ... the commencement but don't you run into the same problem if you have a free service is up ... but come on whatever whatever Rowley ... whatever kind of freemium model of a runner ... yet ironically those restriction because of our unique position ... right I wonder what the company is well write ... I have a ... relationship very long time and trying to help the labels move the ball forward and are very good guys labels right now ... and ... some of those things again after the change they can speak to right now but how many changes but I have a lot of pressure on to get good things to wear ... the Auditor integration enables integration publishes ... is a very complex world besides making the carry Chevron to carry ... them ... and I'm I'm very hopeful for two but think that we're in the right place strategically to get some of these things done because of the semester ... everybody just wants more ... rewards more of everything ... Mr. Parker ... yes um ... I wanted ask about the list again I mean people create lists all the time ... I'm from Amazon Google Apple ... been was all over the place that you're creating different kind of lists the creative ... curious of who is doing it your ration ... you can have thousands of lives created by famous people meantime the spare What's III and its people I know I make lists ... not everybody knows how to make a list of friends ... are friends my friends on Facebook ... Facebook of my friends out ... the drive into the studios don't know how to make with them one list ... I work no one was so that he like all my divorce list ... I was getting the boys ... I made this list for a very very well I did remember you as my colleague Bob Dylan and I still have the right ... though ... you know ... a ... deal to me forever to make but there are real pros out there and and we've hired we have a hundred people with this or maybe the making was costly for different types of people that the ... person who fifty two years old that likes this is the submissive which is spending so much time at a meeting tomorrow ... with Dr Gerais trad Reznor ... and the fire by editors here with us and then go to all these different kind of real people from ... rift the radio station B of A from all different walks of life in all different types of curators ... and winning the match those lists ... she ... and you can minute that I like the Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan would not Guinea Guinea three John Entwistle so it's ... and because I can see you know with that is yes and I ... guess I've ... to say your unique selling proposition is these curated lists people and I make lists as if your mastering ... the Scana mixed albums for people ... in different demographics in different occasions Japan activities and ... the response ... so you say I don't lie ... I like Black Sabbath ... I don't like led Zeppelin ... firstly SDY ... and and ... I'm that way I ... and when to quit is right and and we don't ask you why but that means is when we all are obviously trying to customize it as we go you know this is ... going to launch over the sum of the job ... is there any any idea to allow ... the uses of service ... to create this thing well and good cheer a good ... thing that popped the top with someone you have to approve them like Apple has no no no no no no this is going to be this can be free form you can you give somebody on it becomes really hot becomes ... personal will notice it ... end of the LBO a wonderful game is also something else going on so that that doesn't going anywhere ... is we have to make it ... user friendly for the artists they have to be able to build businesses ... that don't have information about who is using music where they are ... that to become a business for the arts as much as they communicate with their hands ... right now ... they have all the information any of us and our minds ... no wonder I don't know I reckon company I would die the noble my records on iTunes ... or polite tickets at Ticketmaster ... Michael appeal was just here ... but I would like that that information but I don't ... and this is going to be very user friendly we have had arisen on boy who's that guy from my snails ... who is probably your most independent ... artist I the the ... independent minded and I he's really good market meekness lies in major this the business from easyJet but can I just jump in at CTS two things one is ... up for small and I think you give an impression this is like armies of humans making this were up there are I get it ... but ... Argentina have some algorithms all ... of the middle which I married into trying to marry ... I've met ... with emotion ... Christian right now they're on the mathematical solutions for emotional problems ... and I don't believe ... that acknowledges there yet Quebec and beyond ok ... and and secondly I'm a little ... confused about the lasting said ... I certainly understand the artists want this ... artists ... and record companies ... could benefit from having information but what can or Steve Wealthstream wanna listen to ... but Archer to invade their privacy but try telling that information back to the arthouse were right now ... we were looking for and he was in wide use the CEO of a coming in right you can ... see it in your Yahoo ... write to get him in the kitchen Dresdner Angwin and the bill ... communications ... between the Fed and the arts ... well you'll be the intermediary ... so my ... Pursell information may not go to the hardest if ... still if you're listening to them they would they will know ... I ... you have to tell people that enough right yes ... by the way not going to pay me ten bucks a month but ... what you are listening to Xconomy communicated back to surgery on his will to the art the artists ... I think that's fair right when we go ... I've never heard of or service that I'm ... but it may be imported from elsewhere mitigated by what I want anyone including Arsenal were the blessing of the ideas you can opt out of the three of them sort through that that's the basic concept for the Arts we wanted you to emulate the final day but they need and information ... right now ... YouTube goes on to our ... diesel seven hundred and fifty million dollars worth of tickets they want to know ... you don't think that Ticketmaster use that information ... I get your whole point ... but understand this of privacy issues ... but it's also on the side of the angels I think that open-air work out ... I'm very optimistic about the main gallery idealistic ... by BB to work ... BG me ... aam I don't know anything about lists the only knows but honey do list on the go to the grocery store gets and I ... anyway the DaimlerChrysler has ... a lot as I I I ... of ... all and as you ride the little that a different topic talent discovery ... to the go way back in the day he Linley or Coenen Clive Davis YouTube here enacting the disparity ... you have this visceral in state ... I can make this person star this person has a lot of time ... Heidi you think about the role of you to ... in terms of town Discover and in their one offs like well a big one offs like Justin Bieber and me maybe they're smothered from sisters ... How Pala Discovery has changed over time ... as your digital media to fall well you know ... it ... it's really the perfect storm that set the record is in this area ... sales are down this trying to come back a little bit now but this has been really a very odd by piracy ... then you have to what happens in areas ... Levadex is of some really talented people actually not want to get into music ... to go a different way ... and then on top of it ... to guide you had ... get lazy because ago they look on YouTube or they say well that doesn't have a million due to the doctor to sign it ... so again ... scared and it just ... did a bit lacking a lot about what the talking alright data but I try to encourage into my company to just say ... if you feel it knew that one guy's vision ... we note ... the spell of its targeted toward announ Lady GA GA into my office gauges and drop by a major label two weeks before the big one that ... she was scared to death ... I was told of the dire drop so I really respected but this kid said to me I really like her ... she said I make music that ... brings fashion within the Walpole with the village of nineteen seventy I bought the so bad that I absolutely I'm and you know that the great looking than my life but you know and it's ... another to do with you too but there is a lot of that in it but my on the other hand in hand enables artists Bakken oil would not ... exist ... but varied grace on the third of May would not exist ... the one for you to write write and what that kid is smart to integrate marketing guys with kids today musicians ... because the move brought up the technology really of votes either actually mocking people was well ... you know ... and I'm I'm I ... think YouTube is a big plus for these ... ok ... thank you so much to do out ... there ...

I saw samples articles motives you to make a new tutorial !CoOL !
The CPC+ version of this tutorial is now on Youtube, showing how to make sounds with the CPC+ DMA, Once again, files in the correct format can be created with ChibiWave, which is in the Sources.7z (and is open source)https://youtu.be/hsJRknPLZYQ
Maybe this will be of interest to some people? I've always struggled to get my head around the CRTC registers - and what each actually does... So I wrote a little 'toy' that allows them to be individually altered, with the resulting values shown on screen - for easy testingThere's a video below of it in use, maybe some people will find beneficial:https://youtu.be/GIDRBGSLkvEThe source for the program, and other notes are on my website as always:http://www.chibiakumas.com/z80/platform4.php#LessonP39

This is a brooch which is made of a closure/clasp (still visible) of a bible or church book. It dates from the Empire (1815-1840) and has two hallmarks. One is a Dutch silver quality mark of the so called 2nd order Silver (8.35) the other label I can not detect but obvious from the maker.
What strikes me is that it is alsolooks like a modern brooch might be because the style is simple as often in modern times.
The brooch is quite large almost 11 x 3 cm (4.3 x 1.2 ") and has a so called c-clasp and a saftely pin which I have often come across at jewelry of that time period.
All in all a nice brooch but also shown that a silver piece of jewelry can also be very beautiful. I would appreciate your opinion?

"He was lying with the other seven staff on the marble floor with his hands over his head," Col Mousa says today. "I said to him: 'Don't worry, I've spoken to the British officer and he says you'll be freed in a couple of hours.'" The officer, a second lieutenant, even gave the Iraqi policeman a piece of paper and wrote "2Lt. Mike" on it, alongside an indecipherable signature and a Basra telephone number. There was no surname.
"Three days later, I was looking at my son's body," the colonel says, sitting on the concrete floor of his slum house in Basra. "The British came to say he had 'died in custody'. His nose was broken, there was blood above his mouth and I could see the bruising of his ribs and thighs. The skin was ripped off his wrists where the handcuffs had been."
Baha Mousa left two small boys, five-year-old Hassan and three-year-old Hussein. Both are orphans, because Baha's 22-year-old wife died of cancer just six months before his own death.
No one hides the fact that most if not all the eight men picked up at the Haitham hotel - where British troops had earlier found four weapons in a safe - were brutally treated while in the custody of the Royal Military Police. One of Baha's colleagues, Kifah Taha, suffered acute renal failure after being kicked in the kidneys; a "wound assessment" by Frimley Park Hospital in Britain states bluntly that he suffered "generalized bruising following repeated incidents of assault".
When Col Mousa and another of his sons, Alaa, visited Kifah Taha in a Basra hospital immediately after his release to seek news of Baha, they found the wounded man - in Alaa's words - "only half a human, with terrible bruises from kicking on his ribs and abdomen. He could hardly speak."
But another of Baha's colleagues - who pleaded with The Independent on Sunday not to reveal his name lest he be rearrested by British forces in Basra - gave a chilling account of the treatment the eight men received once they arrived at a British interrogation centre in Basra. By a terrible coincidence, the building had formerly been the secret service headquarters of Ali Majid, Saddam's brutal cousin, known as "Chemical Ali" for his gassing of the Kurds of Halabja and later military governor of the Basra region.
"We were put in a big room with our hands tied and with bags over our heads. But I could see through some holes in my hood. Soldiers would come in - ordinary soldiers, not officers, mostly with their heads shaved but in uniform -- and they would kick us, picking on one after the other. They were kick-boxing us in the chest and between the legs and in the back. We were crying and screaming.
"They set on Baha especially, and he kept crying that he couldn't breathe in the hood. He kept asking them to take the bag off and said that he was suffocating. But they laughed at him and kicked him more. One of them said: 'Stop screaming and you'll be able to breathe more easily.' Baha was so scared. Then they increased the kicking on him and he collapsed on the floor. None of us could stand or sit because it was too painful."
But not one of the prisoners says he was questioned about the discovery of the weapons in the hotel. Indeed, the man who hid the two rifles and two pistols in the hotel safe - one of the partners in the hotel, Haitham Vaha - fled the building after the British arrived and is still on the run. His father and another business partner, Ahmed Taha Mousa - no relation to either Kifah Taha or Baha Mousa - are still in British custody in southern Iraq. At least one of the men beaten by the British says that he would happily hand Haitham to the British forces if he found him.
Amnesty International has demanded an impartial and independent inquiry into Baha's death and the mistreatment of the other Iraqi prisoners, but the Ministry of Defence is attempting to keep its investigation within the Army. Two soldiers originally arrested in connection with Baha's death have since been released - and Baha Mousa's family is outraged. "We are going to sue the British Army in London," his brother Alaa says. "They gave us $3,000 in compensation, then said we could have another $5,000 - but they wouldn't accept responsibility for his murder.
"We reject this money. We want justice. We want the soldiers involved to be punished. How much would a British family receive if their innocent son was arrested by your soldiers and beaten to death?"
The Mousa family were given an international death certificate by the British Army at the Shaibah military medical centre outside Basra. It was dated 21 September, but again carried an indecipherable signature. It stated that Baha's death had been caused by "cardiorespiratory arrest: asphyxia". But the anonymous British officer who signed the document failed to fill in the column marked "due to/as a consequence of". He also failed to fill in the column marked "approximate interval between onset (of asphyxia) and death". More seriously still, the British Army failed to complete the form's request for "Regt. Corps/RAF Command" and "Ship/Unit/RAF Station".
An inquiry was opened into Baha Mousa's death on 18 September by 61 Section of the 3rd Regiment, Royal Military Police's Special Investigation Branch. Captain G Nugent, the officer commanding 61 Section, named a Staff Sergeant Jay as chief investigating officer of case number 64695/03. From the start, the SIB were faced with overwhelming evidence that British soldiers had kicked and beaten the prisoners in their custody.
Major James Ralph, the anaesthesia and intensive care consultant at the British Military Hospital's 33 Field Hospital at Shaibah, stated in a letter - a copy of which is in the IoS's possession - that Kifah Taha "was admitted to our facility at 22.40 hours on 16th September. It appears he was assaulted approximately 72 hours ago and sustained severe bruising to his upper abdomen, right side of chest, left forearms and left upper inner thigh." He described Kifah Taha as suffering from "acute renal failure".
Col Daoud Mousa says that his son was deliberately kicked to death by the soldiers because they discovered that his father had persuaded the British officer - "Second Lieutenant Mike" - to arrest several British soldiers who were stealing money from the hotel during the raid. "I saw two of the soldiers at the back of a safe, wrenching it open and stuffing money into their shirts and pockets - Iraqi dinars and foreign money. The officer made one of the men open his shirt and he found the money and the soldier was disarmed. But the military inquiry didn't want to hear about this - they weren't interested in the theft or why the soldiers who were stealing the money would want to mistreat my son as a result of what I did."
Alaa says that it was three days before they learned the truth about what had happened to Baha. "I was at home and I went outside to find the street filled with British soldiers. They didn't have Baha's name right, but they said they were looking for the family of the man 'whose wife died of cancer'. I said it must be Baha and one of the officers said: 'Can you come with us?'
"A sergeant came into our home, his name was Jay, and he sat on our sofa and said: 'I have come to tell you about the death of your brother Baha.'
It was like a revolution in our house - there was screaming and shouting and crying. The British said they wanted my father, Daoud, and one of us to come to identify the body. He said a doctor from Britain was coming to examine the body." Alaa described how he later met a "Professor Hill", a pathologist who, he says, later acknowledged that there were "very clear signs of beating on the body" and that two of Baha's ribs had been broken.
Robert Harkins, the British political officer in the city, arranged for the Mousa family to meet Brigadier William Moore, commander of British forces in Basra. The family say that Brig Moore, though he expressed his condolences to Daoud Mousa, refused to allow an Iraqi lawyer to participate in the British inquiry. "He told us that since this had happened inside the British Army, the British Army would conduct the investigation," Alaa says.
The brigadier issued a statement on 3 October, expressing his "regrets"
that their son "died while under British jurisdiction" and promising that if the military police concluded that a crime had been committed, "those suspected will be tried ... under the laws of the United Kingdom." The family initially accepted $3,000 of compensation for Baha's death - they say they thought that by offering this, the British were accepting responsibility - but they refused to sign a letter they received last month from a British claims officer called Perkins which offered a further $5,000 as a "final settlement" of the "incident" which would be made "without admission of liability on behalf of the British Contingent of the Coalition Forces in Iraq".
An MoD spokeswoman said yesterday that "as far as I'm aware, as of the beginning of December, the investigation was ongoing - nothing in our records suggests it is not still ongoing". But no charges appear to have been made, no soldiers are currently under arrest and Alaa Mousa and his father Daoud remain infuriated by their treatment.
"Are the soldiers responsible for killing Baha to go unpunished?" Alaa asks. "Why can't we be involved in this? If these men have no punishment, they will do this again.
"We are not saying the British are 'occupiers'. We think you came here to Basra to save us from Saddam. But you should not treat my family like this, just paying us money when you kill Baha and ... then stopping us being involved in finding out what really happened. If you go on like this, your 'big welcome' in Basra will be over."

The New Jersey Democratic Party universe hinges on Mayor Cory Booker right now but if he decides not to run for governor, insiders delight at the prospect of a rematch between Senate President Steve Sweeney (D-3) and former Senate President Dick Codey (D-27).
Nowhere would the potential for intrigue be as heightened as in Bergen and Essex counties.
Right now, most sources don't believe Codey will run, but his close relationships with several key North Jersey chairmen put the former governor in an influential position.
Even if he isn't personally the candidate, to the degree that Codey nurses a sense of injustice over how his political enemies dethroned him, he could attempt to put his own heft behind an alternative Democratic Primary candidate.
He's working behind the scenes with that wing of his party tired of getting pushed around by South Jersey and examining 2013 as a way to punch back. Spoiling the statewide chances of his successor in the Senate president's chair would be a bonus.
As for Sweeney, he has likewise not committed to critical county chairs that he is running for governor if Booker doesn't run, but his status as Senate president puts him in a solid position to make his statewide case, albeit with some ground game challenges – starting up north.
Sources tell PolitickerNJ.com that Codey and Bergen County Chairman Lou Stellato have a close relationship. Like the Codey family, Stellato runs a funeral parlor. When he became chairman in 2011, one of Stellato's first big events featured the former governor.
It's not just a funeral parlor connection, said one Bergen source close to the pair. They simply like each other.
They're not the only ones who have close ties.
If Sweeney runs for governor, he would have an ally in state Sen. Paul Sarlo (D-36), who would be motivated to support Sweeney statewide with the understanding that Sweeney and South Jersey might return the favor by helping to elect Sarlo as the next Senate president.
Ambitious, and with experience chairing the labor, judiciary and budget committees, Sarlo has long eyed the Senate presidency.
The trouble for Sarlo, in part, is that despite the enticement of a Bergen-based Senate presidency, Stellato's close relationship with Codey means the Bergen chairman is not a given to back Sweeney.
At least two county sources concede that the rough-hewn Sweeney would have a difficult time connecting in North Bergen, but give him a shot in the blue-collar working-class burghs of South Bergen County, political ground zero for Sarlo, the mayor of Wood-Ridge.
Sarlo is no stranger to political drama.
He's been through the rift between former Chairman Joe Ferriero and state Sen. Loretta Weinberg (D-37), state Sen. Joe Coniglio's (D-38) meltdown, the Andrews-Lautenberg fiasco, Ferriero's fall from grace, the Michael Kasparian era, the countywide beat-downs, the committee jitters when Freddy Scalera left office, and the awful implosion of U.S. Rep. Steve Rothman (D-9).
In the event that Sweeney surfaces as a candidate for governor reaching out to Bergen County against either a Codey candidacy or a well-financed candidate backed by Codey, and absent additional lures for Bergen, Sarlo could find himself in another quandary.
Sarlo would go to the negotiating table with Sweeney and conceivably South Jersey Democratic Leader George Norcross III. But if Stellato backs a Codey ticket, Sarlo could find himself in the unenviable position of running on the line against his own self-interest, namely the Senate presidency, if Sweeney is relegated to an off-line position.
Complicating matters for the senator is the South Bergen presence of former Freeholder Bernadette McPherson, an ex-Assembly candidate wounded by Sarlo who resurfaced this year as a hard-boiled ally of U.S. Rep. Bill Pascrell's (D-9) to help sink Rothman.
To date, McPherson has not ruled out a primary challenge to Sarlo, and could be available. If all hell breaks loose, look for her on whichever side stands opposite Sarlo.
State Senate Majority Leader Loretta Weinberg (D-37), who has already shown a willingness to deal with Norcross and who already occupies a leadership position, is the county's X factor.
To the south, southwest of Sarlo, Essex County presents another range of political intrigue for Sweeney and Codey – and further exacerbates Sarlo's potential for upward movement.
Codey's arch enemy, Essex County Executive Joe DiVincenzo, doesn't delight at the notion of a Sweeney gubernatorial candidacy, sources say.
If Sweeney runs, DiVincenzo's foundation gets shaken at least three ways.
First, he has to choose between Sweeney and Gov. Chris Christie, his two biggest government allies. It's one thing to have a nobody running for governor who offers the perfect opportunity for DiVincenzo to plead he doesn't want any part of an embarrassing Peter Shapiro-like failure.
It's another thing to have Sweeney pounding on his door asking for support to topple Christie.
A source told PolitickerNJ.com that a Sweeney candidacy is a political nightmare for the county executive from that standpoint alone.
Intensifying a primary war headache is the play Bergen (or other counties or combinations of counties) could make for leadership. For three years, South Jersey and Essex County have enjoyed the state's balance of legislative power, sharing Sweeney in the senate and Joe D's own Speaker Sheila Oliver (D-34) in the assembly.
Sources say state Sen. M. Teresa Ruiz (D-29) and Assemblyman Lou Greenwald (D-6) – or Sen. Donald Norcross (D-5) and Assemblyman Albert Coutinho (D-29) – find themselves in good organizational position to make the ascent to leadership in their respective houses and from their respective regions, moves that would maintain the DiVincenzo-South Jersey power structures.
Why jeopardize that in a fractured primary environment by creating opportunities for other organizations to tug on Sweeney's affections?
Then there's the straight-up Codey factor.
Codey was disappointed when Sarlo bailed on him during the 2009 Senate coup and backed Sweeney. But at that time at least, Codey held DiVincenzo responsible.
A source close to Essex politics says Codey has his eye on a 2014 primary challenge to Joe D. Maybe the candidate will be the former governor, maybe the candidate will be Newark West Ward Councilman Ron C. Rice, or someone else.
If DiVincenzo backs Sweeney for governor, count on Codey making a hard play in the 2013 Democratic Primary to humiliate DiVincenzo in Essex as a warm-up to the county executive race.
Two men he holds most responsible – short of Norcross – for making his political life miserable in 2009, will be standing on a podium asking Essex for votes, Sweeney a particularly soft target as a mostly unknown brand north of the Mason-Dixon Line.
"Wake me up when the Martians land," said a Democratic Party source, dismissing the notion of a Sweeney run precisely because of the party havoc it would create.
Codey will take it personally, said a source – and see a chance to reanimate.
"He's irrelevant," at least two sources told PolitickerNJ.com.
But if that's true, the former governor and Senate president taken out of leadership by his own party will look hungrily at opportunities in Bergen and Essex to make it false.

"How can emptiness be so heavy?"
This one line has taken the center stage in whirlwind of my countless other thoughts. I don't know why but this line hit me really hard and I've been wondering about this a lot. Because it's so true yet such an intangible concept that no matter how hard I tried I couldn't manage to wrap my head around it. I couldn't find a tangible explanation for it. I turned to a friend for an explanation, maybe she had better idea about this than me. But she too, couldn't help me much with it and told me that she believed in my abilities to figure this out if I pondered long enough and that I should keep thinking and digging. And so I did.
In the words of my friend emptiness is "So unseen you can't even touch it and it still fills you up like nothing else." And it's as true as it can get. I've never denied the existence of empty spaces within myself, I've written about it quiet a few times before (though haven't shared it on the blog yet), so I went back and read those pieces again. I realized it's not the emptiness itself that is heavy, it is 'what' left it there- is what makes it a heavy burden.
It can be people- who once were, now aren't, never will be again.
It can be a thing- that once was, now isn't, never will be again.
It can be feelings- which once were, now aren't, never will be again.
Ah…Feelings. People. Things.
It's like they all have an underlying blueprint and no matter how hard you try to scrub them off your heart and soul- something always remains. A piece, a part, a trace. And it weighs on like hell. Like a boulder tipped upon your weak shoulders to carry on forever.
Something that is there but isn't.
Something that isn't but is.
Maybe this will always remain intangible to me, maybe I will never be able to grasp it. But I can never deny the accuracy of this, it's immensity, it's depth. And I can't help but to drown in it. Over and over. Time and time again. This one sentence will stick with me for a lifetime, heck I can write a whole freaking thesis on this. I know what I'm saying is probably all in the air, and to some it might not even make one bit of sense- maybe it 'IS' senseless, I don't know.
But it makes so much sense to me, yet I still don't have a perfect answer. How can something so intangible bring such restlessness to our hearts? How can something so unsubstantial bring such turbulence to our souls? What do you think?
