Dave Ellis: Talented Tenor on the March
"Orrin really stuck his neck out for me on this one. He's fond of saying that if the guys are still smiling and saying good things about you after they've been paid, then you can consider it a success, which was the case with this. These guys live in New York year round, which means they're on the road most of the time, live near each other, have paid a lot of dues together, so for me to come in as a California guy and play with these guys, and have it be my session, could have gone the other way than it did. It wound up being a very positive and good thing. And I think in a very large part because of Orrin's relationship with these guys, the fact that he's done similar things for them, and they trust his ear and his sensibility. Synergy-wise, I would have loved to spend about another four or five years playing with these guys in some live settings and it would have been a different record, but all things considered, I'm proud of it.
"One of the things I learned was Orrin's process of putting together an entity, not just a set of songs, but a CD as one entity that plays from start to finish. A piece of work. So because we had this album on the table in late 1999 and then started talking about it again in the middle of 2000 – this album was recorded in 2001 – so we did have multiple meetings about what we wanted to do. Orrin is never one to tell a musician what or how to play, but in this case since we were crafting it together, he had a lot of ideas. So you see lots different time periods represented.
"He wanted to do an Ellington-era ballad, a less well-known one, so "Something to Live for" was that. "Grand Central" was a little more up to date, which had Cannonball and Coltrane on it originally. Orrin has done a lot of work with Vincent Herring – he pays homage to Cannonball lots in his playing, and Orrin recognizes that, so that made some sense for Vince and I to do that under an Orrin umbrella. He let me get away with having my two tunes on there and having mine on there first ["Not That You Asked" and "Isabella Blue"]. There were never any points of contention. Probably the biggest thing we argued about was whether I could get away with doing this version of "Summertime" on the record. It's dark. It was called "Winterlude" at one point. But he capitulated on that. The Clint Houston tune "Sunshowers" is sort of obscure, but it comes from an even more recent period with sort of a West Coast representation.
"The common thread is that I'm playing on every tune and Mulgrew is playing on every tune. Otherwise the band changes from session to session and track to track. Then there's the duo with Mulgrew. [Horace Silver's "Peace."] We considered all the things, the tunes, era that they represent, the key that they're in, tempo considerations, time considerations, arrangements, all of those things were factored in. In a way, Orrin makes it seem easy and intuitive, but that's only because he has 40 years of practice under his belt. You take for granted that somebody can make this flow as smoothly as he made this happen. This album benefits tremendously from Orrin's production chops."
Things may take a different direction on Ellis' next CD, but that would be reflective of his diverse background.
A home, there was a lot of music being played, but not jazz. But in the community in which he lived, different sounds would meld. And in the well-known Berkley High School, which boats the likes of Benny Green, Craig handy and Redman, jazz had a strong pull.
There were other factors. "Lots of Latin stuff. Salsa, the large Escovedo family is from that area and also Bill Sommers and those folks were in that area when I was growing up. R&B. There were two things working: what was going on in the house, which was everything Beatles and Stevie Wonder all the way down to Calls of the Humpback Whale. But in the community, all of my influences were with my peers and the people ahead of me. There was me as a fifth grader and Benny Green as a 12th grader and a professional-level player. So that's what you aspire to. You don't know that that's out of the norm. A lot of the people who inspired me were teachers and players in the system at that time. So jazz was a real part of my schooling growing up and I was introduced to it really early and had lots of resources, so that made it a little easier.
"It was records like Saxophone Colossus and the Clifford Brown memorial album that were inspiring me at age 9 and 10. You're not conscious of what's getting to you, you just know it's getting to you. I would consider myself a jazz guy in that way," he said. "I sometimes think I was born 40 years too late. My interests and saxophone style comes from a much older school."
Ellis was paying drums as a youngster and by 9 was playing sax after a mandatory semester of clarinet at Berkley. In high school, he gigged in dance bands, including The Uptones, a ska and that at times opened for the likes of Billy Idol and the Go Gos. And after high school, he waited a few years before going east to Berklee, sound decision, he said, because "then I was really ready."
"The most important thing about that place is the community of people that coalesce there. You can bring a lot of knowledge, but you have to go in there and work on it on your own. The folks there are great. I was very lucky. When I went to Berklee, Roy Hargrove was there, Antonio Hart was there and Josh Redman was at Harvard, so he was coming down and visiting. Chris Cheek and Chris Speed and Mark Turner were there, so as far as the land of tenor players, it was very fertile.
"I had my degrees in production and engineering because, number one, I wanted to stay and graduate, which is rare for an instrumentalist. I also didn't see where a performance degree would go any further with getting me a gig. I can't imagine showing up to the rehearsal with a diploma and saying, "Look, I really can play." I've always had an interest in the engineering and production side of it, which I still do."
After Berklee, it was back to the Bay and playing with guitarist Charlie Hunter and drummer named Jay Lane. The playing got good, and the three got serious. Recording for the Charlie Hunter Trio started to come. And steady work, even though Ellis had his production degree at the ready.
"Every time I put my sax down, it seems to have a way of picking itself up and putting itself back in my mouth again," he quipped.
There were three records with Hunter , Charlie Hunter Trio and Bing, Bing Bing and Ready, Set, Shango. Lane left after the second and ended up with Bob Weir and the Grateful Dead spin-off, Ratdog. It was the link with Lane that got him the gig with the jam band folks.
Playing in front of the illustrious Deadheads was "a very different experience...a positive one," said Ellis. He said the audiences were patient, and were used to the spirit of improvisation and exploring that is so akin to jazz, even if the music was not as sophisticated. In fact, Ellis said he feels good about being intertwined with two distinct parts of Americana – the Dead and jazz – distinctly American-made and an imbedded part of the nation's culture.
A tenure with Bruce Hornsby came a short time later and was a good learning experience, said Ellis. He thought Hornsby a "very talented and down to earth" guy who plays music with no thought toward the commercial. The music was straight out of Hornsby himself, who is a what-you-see-is-what-you-get, no-nonsense nice guy, and an outstanding musician.
In each scenario, Ellis fits his sound so that it becomes part of the plan, molding itself where and how it's needed.
"From a marketing standpoint, that may be a difficult angle to play, but I am not interested in being labeled one thing or the other. If it had to be anything, it would be jazz saxophone. But I take a little bit away from each thing. I tend to believe more harmonically advanced or sophisticated stuff is my interest. I can get enough of two-chord jams where everyone wanks away for hours. That does get boring to me, but not everybody studies Trane and spends their formative in music the way I did and a lot of my peers did. A lot of people don't want to hear sophisticated harmony. They want to hear one chord and a drum beat...and I can relate to that too, but at the core, I like to progress and grow."
Ellis said the new music "a very important milestone, as it were. Next for me is showing a little bit more of the electric, funky side. This record, even though it's being released now, was done about a year and a half ago. Things have changed for me quite a bit. I have a new daughter, two and a half years old. And in those couple years things change. So that's what I'm looking to do next."
Ellis said he has no time line in place for the next recording, but he plans on doing more of his own compositions "with an electrically oriented thing. And when I say electric I don't mean Smooth Jazz, but something that is more of a studio record, more crafted by me, compositionally and arrangement-wise, and not just a saxophone showcase. So that's where I'm headed now."
Getting a working and out on the roads is also important in his immediate future. "There's some very good guys around here, so we've been getting together and playing and I'm looking forward to getting together with these guys and seeing what comes of that. I'd like to get in a record with them, if possible," he said.
All this is happening at a time when the music business isn't all that gracious, particularly, Ellis said, in his native Bay area.
"The current environment is not one that fosters more gigs. Even the great players who are out here are making decisions to either go down south to LA, or go to New York or something like that. It's pretty miserable right now. These things go in peaks and valleys, but this has been a very long, low valley right now as far as maintaining an existence as a professional player on the west coast."
But the east coast isn't beckoning, even if it has advantages.
"I don't want to live in New York. I understand what New York is and how the jazz world works. I am of the belief that you have to go and spend time on the east coast and in New York and play to understand New York's version, which is probably the highest level of a particular kind of jazz. But I'm at the point now where I'm a lot clearer on what I want. And it's a smaller globe. There's a lot of things in Europe that happen and you don't necessarily have to live in New York. It makes life a lot more convenient as a professional player. The guys I played with on this record, like I said, they're rarely home. They're out in Europe; a five-hour flight from London and stuff, instead of a 10 or 11-hour flight back to San Francisco. There are some practical reasons for living on the east coast. There's a lot more gigs and less driving.
"But I like the sky and air. I'm a California boy and I'm not ashamed at all about that. I'm not trying to pretend and put up a New York front. But there's always a nagging problem that all the cats I want to play with live there. The level of musicianship is so much higher there on a per capita basis that I fight myself in many ways by remaining here."
Ellis is a laudable artist who should be growing in the sunlight that he likes so much in California, and basking in a spotlight that this new CD shows he deserves.

Once again, Czech golfers did not play at The Open, but Czech Republic was represented by lager, Pilsner Urquell (Translation)
19 July 2011
Plzeň, July 18, 2011 - The player's roster of The Open did not, even this year, include any Czech players, however Czech Republic was adequately represented at the most celebrated and most prestigious world golf tournament: partner to the tournament and the official beer of the tournament was, for the third time, lager Pilsner Urquell. Players and visitors of the tournament drank 74,175 pints (1 pint = 0.5683 liter) and 200 professional bartenders had their hands full at the Royal St George's from July 10th until July 17th.
The Open Championship is one of the 10 most important sporting events of the year. Yearly, close to 200,000 visit the tournament and more than 500 million watch it on their TV screens. Golf is one of the most important marketing activities of the Pilsner Urquell brand. "This is our third year to be the partner of The Open, the most prestigious golf tournament of the world, and we signed a contract until 2013. It is our honor that two legends joined forces. The Open, which last year celebrated its 150th anniversary, and Pilsner Urquell beer, which has been bringing joy to its fans for close to 170 years," adds Dalibor Vainer, Marketing Manager from Plzeňský Prazdroj.
Due to expected large numbers of visitors and good weather, representatives of the brand on the British market prepared very meticulously. An expert from Plzeňský Prazdroj personally trained 200 bartenders to properly serve beer, also shared the beer's tradition and history of the lager from Plzeň. The kegs with beer left the brewery only a few days before the beginning of the tournament and were stored in the central refrigerated warehouse from where, based on need, they will be delivered to four public bars and to a number of VIP refreshment stands around grounds of Royal St George's in Sandwich, Kent.
All in all, the Pilsner Urquell has been successful in Great Britain and in 2010, sales increased by 37%. This way, Britain became the fifth most important export market of the Pilsner lager.
Bernard Gallacher, Honorary Ambassador of Pilsner Urquell and British golf legend, promoted Pilsner lager directly at the venue where the legendary tournament and legendary beer met. Bernard Gallacher won 13 times at main golf tournaments in Europe and eight times at tournaments outside of Europe, several times also played at the World Cup and at Ryder Cup.
With this year's tournament, The Open Championship entered its fourth 50 years. The first tournament was in 1860 at the course at St Andrews. Pilsner Urquell as a partner of the tournament was allowed to borrow and bring to Czech Republic the Claret Jug Cup, a prestigious prize given to winners of The Open. Thanks to this fact, many Czech fans of golf were able to look at the prize in May at golf resorts in Karlštejn, Dýšin and Beroun and also at the Visitors' Center at Plzeňský Prazdroj. The value of the cup is practically unimaginable and it traveled around Czech Republic only accompanied by security personnel.
Pilsner Urquell has been a partner at golf tournaments since 2001. In Czech Republic it is mainly associated with the Pilsner Urquell Czech PGA Tour and with the most important golf courses. For the year 2011, cooperation continues with the Casa Serena Open, played at Roztěž as part of the European Senior PGA Tour. The Pilsner Urquell is also partners with other internationally renowned golf tournaments, whether it be in Europe or in South Africa.

Amanda Knox Verdict: GUILTY of Murder, Sentenced to 28 Yearsby Free Britney at . Updated at .
An Italian court has returned a verdict in the third trial of Amanda Knox and her former boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito, in the 2007 death of Meredeth Kercher:
Knox was found guilty of the crime for the second time in the notorious case.
Amanda was sentenced to 28 years and six months in jail, though it's rather unclear if she'll ever serve even a day of that. More on that in a second.
The first two trials produced flip-flop verdicts of guilty then innocent for Knox and Sollecito, who were acquitted on appeal in 2011 after four years in custody.
An appeals court found that important evidence regarding blood and DNA had been handled improperly by investigators, leading to the released of the duo.
But Italy's supreme court, called the Court of Cassation, dismissed that ruling based on what it said was key evidence that had been omitted during the appeal.
A new trial, at which Amanda Knox did not appear, began in 2013.
The three-day deliberations were closely watched as jurors were tasked with either confirming or overturn the initial guilty verdict "as if the acquittal never happened."
Jurors deliberated into the night before delivering the guilty verdict that comes as a blow to Knox and Sollecito, who can lodge a further appeal with the Supreme Court.
So what comes next for the 26-year-old media sensation?

16. Amanda Knox Verdict
Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito have been found not guilty of the killing/murder and sexual assault of Brittish exchange student Meredith Kercher.
17. Amanda Knox on Good Morning America
Amanda Knox on Good Morning America in 2013. She's speaking out for the first time.
Knox's situation is complicated by her absence. Experts say it is unlikely Italy will seek extradition until a verdict is finalized, a process that can take a year.
She told Italian state TV in an interview earlier this month that she would wait for the verdict at her mother's house in Washington "with my heart in my throat."
Knox's absence does not formally hurt her case since she had been freed by a court and defendants in Italy are not required to appear at their trials.
However, judge Alessandro Nencini reacted sternly to her emailed statement, noting that defendants have a right to be heard if they appear in person.
Some experts say it is unlikely Knox will return to Italy. Ever.
Because U.S. law dictates that a person cannot be tried twice on the same charge, she is likely to fight extradition on those grounds if Italy seeks it.
Sollecito, meanwhile, did appear at the trial and faces arrest.

Instead of fleeing, as a guilty person would do, Amanda stayed, naively thinking she could help the police to find the man who murdered her friend. Little did she realize that the police and the tabloid media would scapegoat HER.
This is not about Amanda Knox: This is about Italy's "justice" system. What a farce. Thank you, Tellurian. If I were Italian, I'd be ashamed too. Unfortunately, the government here in the U.S. is no prize, either.
Brenda- you do know that she has never claimed to have been home. She said she was at her boyfriend's house. Also there has never been any evidence to suggest that she was there during the murder. Just her "odd" behavior. But then, what's normal after your friend has been brutally murdered?

Student HighlightsMarci Irwin – Fourth Year Philosophy Major
"I am in my fourth year studying Philosophy at West Chester University. When thinking about switching my major from Psychology to Philosophy I went through a back and fourth struggle of which one would be more useful when I step out into " the real world". What I came to discover and now appreciate every day is that Philosophy is an amazing foundation for literally any passion one desires to pursue." - Read More
Student HighlightsWilliam Davis – Philosophy/Political Science Dual Major
"I didn't choose to study Philosophy; Philosophy chose me. I wanted to go to law school, and chose a different major to do so--but Philosophy has prepared me in ways I couldn't even imagine. Philosophy began the study of sciences, humanities, education...all of that comes from Philosophy. I love studying Philosophy because now I can do whatever I want, and I'm prepared for what the world (and law school) has to give me. "
Student HighlightsCarl Sandberg – Philosophy major, Honors College
At the age of ten, Jostein Gaarder's novel Sophie's World introduced me to the history of philosophy. From that time on, I learned that there existed people who actually devoted their lives to search for answers to what many would call unanswerable questions. Earlier, I was usually discouraged to ask deeper so-called unanswerable questions: "thinking such thoughts can make you mad," I was told. After having read Gaarder's novel, however, I was unstoppable. – Read More

Hello all, my name is Megan McCormick and this is my senior year at West Chester University. I've always been an insatiably inquisitive being concerned with the circumstances of existence and fascinated by human consciousness. I began my education at West Chester as an undeclared major, and throughout my struggle to choose a field of study, Philosophy was a discipline that I continuously held in the back of my mind. After much exploration and consideration, I decided to go ahead and commit to it. I must admit that I had my apprehensions. – Read More

Choosing to major in philosophy is a life-changing decision. You will not walk away from college with the attitude that you merely fell into a major, got your degree and got out. You will be full of ideas and well-crafted opinions, all backed by a drive to enact positive change in whatever life or career path you choose to pursue. – Read More
Student HighlightsChris – First Year Philosophy Major
"Studying philosophy opens your mind to the greatest thinkers in human history and gives you the chance to formally grapple with the most challenging and intriguing ideas about the human experience, the nature of reality, and the nature of ethics."
What is philosophy?
Philosophy may sound dauntingly remote from daily concerns, but its basic questions "What can I know? What may I hope? What must I do?" actually pose themselves throughout any thinking person's journey. And the skills it teaches — close reading, careful thinking, and the critique of ideas — apply to most areas of human endeavor. A background in philosophy is thus excellent training for many careers, and matchless preparation for life itself.

I purchased 2 of these stools. The welds are solid. The only issue is the black metal banding around the wood seat is not flush, so there is a gap around the wood in some areas. I do not mind this, as the piece is supposed to be rustic and casual. Also, the wood seat is not sanded smooth, but again, the piece is rustic. It's not enough to give splinters. The stool also needed some oiling to avoid a hideous squeek when rotated. For me, none of these issues were a problem and I love the stools. They look great and have a nice balance of being large enough to have a 'presence,' but small enough so as not to overwhelm a space. They were also a FABULOUSLY cost effective option. You just can not compare the price range of these to similar items from more elite sites. When I purchased, they were sold out, so I put my name on the wait list. I received an email letting me know they were in stock again. I purchased them at 10:00 a.m. and by 4:00 p.m. they were sold out again!
These stools - we got two - are decent and will do the job (and fit the aesthetic) in our kitchen. They're are sturdy. The seat width is extra wide, which won't leave your behind, behind. The adjuster-mechanism works and looks cool (quell the squeaks with oil). We decided to finish the seats with some tung oil we had, definitely warms up the grain of the wood (and hopefully will help condition the cracks on their undersides). The wood grade is definitely a "budget" grade - it's mixed-grain with visible knots and one seat is denser than the other. Had we had the budget, we would have gone with the real thing (handmade in the USA). These stools are a good substitute though.
Very attractive barstool and great quality. There was a defect with one stool that I ordered and the company easily and promptly sent me a new one to replace it.
I have been looking for bar stools for over a year, now. I had fallen in love with a reproduction style similar to these stools by another company and also have been watching the actual vintage items on an online auction site. The price on these stools is what drew my attention; easily 1/3 the price of anything else I have looked at. The stools shipped for free, and arrived at my doorstep 8 days after ordering them, exactly as promised (and in the middle of Christmas). I am overall pleased with the quality of these stools, they are quite heavy. The seats screw up and down to adjust the height and provide swivel. They are counter height when screwed all the way down, would accomodate bar height adjusted up. The site says that there is a laquer finish; this must be on the iron base (which looks to be a black distressed finish over a lighter base) . The unfinished wooden seats are heavily grooved but not splinter-y, and there is a small gap between the iron band around the seat and the seat itself (this may be a pain to clean after some time, but otherwise doesn't bother me aesthetically). I removed the seats and stained/polyurehaned them so they would stand up to dalily use and cleaning, and while the seats were off two of them split partways through. I see now in other reviews that seat-splitting happened to others and they exchanged them, but I didn't report the problem to Overstock. The quality of the seat is the major reason I am rating them 4 instead of 5 stars. My kids and several of their friends have commented on how comfortable the stools are--although this might be more of a comparison to the fold up, plastic things we have been eeking by with for the duration of my stool search. :) All-in-all these stools provide just the industrial/antique look that I was wanting to find, without the fussiness of an antique item--just right for family living.
I ordered these stools because I saw a similar item in a pricey publication. I saved $259 on each stool and the quality is excellent. They arrived completely assembled and are a very sturdy stool. I am very pleased. They are exactly what I wanted.
I LOVE my barstools! They are so well made and look INCREDIBLE in my kitchen! HIGH quality AND Overstock got them to me so quick! I would definitely recommend these to anyone for purchase. You will not be dissatisfied!
We bought this for a fold away desk we use for the kids homework. It is a little tall but very well made. It's very sturdy, heavy and has a roomy seat.
Simply love these barstools. Very comfortable. The color of the fir wood is a little darker than depicted in the picture but that is not a problem.
These barstools are NO ASSEMBLY= awesome! They are sturdy and wide, and can be adjusted to virtually any height to fit each person's needs. They look just like they are from Ballard designs or restoration hardware for a fraction of the price. LOVE!
I love the way the stools look, but the wood on one of them had a large crack and I didn't want to go through the hassle of returning it. I would recommend it with a caveat.

Mobile Warming Heated LTD Max Glove For Women Reviews :
Comment: I paid the price for an expensive heated glove, but was very impressed with what I recieved. The sizing was perfect, the most comfortable glove I have ever had on my hands. The batteries are top of the line, love the lights to show full charge. I rode for the 1st time with warm hands in cold weather.
Teri Shane
Depoe Bay, Oregon
Comment: Worth every penny! The battery is a little bit of a pain, put it in the glove before you attach the cord to save time wrestling it into the little pouch. The heat is good and the glove itself is very comfortable.
There are three different motorcycling specific pairs available from Mobile
warming and two all-purpose pairs including a mitten. The motorcycle specific
pairs are available in mens and ladies sizes. The two All-purpose models are
unisex. These LTD Max gloves are a motorcycling specific, all leather model, and
are the absolute top of the line. The shell is made of highly durable yet
flexible goatskin. The palms and control fingers are reinforced and there are
gel pads throughout the glove for added protection. Both the Nanomax breathable
membrane and the Exkin insulation are waterproof, so your hands are definitely
going to stay dry. The liner is made of merino wool and I have to tell you,
these gloves are just plain comfy. The glove gauntlet features a draw cord and a
Velcro strap to keep the glove on and the moisture out. The controller pockets
are conveniently located for ease of use and feature a see thru window so you
can see the temperature setting. They feature a precurved shape and come with
everything you need to go riding. They come with two of
Mobile Warming's
famed battery/controller combos and an A/C charger. Mobile warming combines
their controller and battery into one unit, so this little box is all you'll
have to carry. Initial charge takes twelve hours, but after that, the batteries
will charge very quickly. Charging the battery can also be performed using the
optional D/C charger. This is very handy for longer trips because you can charge
an extra battery while you ride down the road by adding a D/C socket to your
motorcycle. Once the green lights indicate a fully charged controller, simply
plug this wire located in this pocket within the glove gauntlet into the battery
controller. You can check the charge state of the controller at any time by
pressing the button one time with the controller powered off. The controller
will also indicate the charging status when it is plugged into the charger. To
activate the controller, press and hold the button until the unit powers on,
then press the button repeatedly until your desired setting is reached. Press
and hold the button again to shut the system off. Remember, the controller will
only power on when it is plugged into a garment, so if you are trying to turn
the controller on and it isn't working, it's probably not plugged in all the
way. One of the aspects of this setup that sets it apart from other brands of
battery heated gear for me is the battery life. This battery will last up to ten
hours on the low setting which is quite a bit longer than some of the other
products out there. For the longest possible battery life, make sure to get a
snug fit with heated items. The closer the proximity you have to the elements,
the lower the temperature setting is needed to keep you warm and the longer the
battery lasts.

Hey guys,
I have a toilet in my house that is seldom used. I noticed that when the water sits there a pink ring will form around the toilet. It never bothered me until I noticed that the shower head that I use almost daily had a little bit of pink-salmon colored stuff on the individual spray tips.
What does this mean about my water?
I'm on Detroit city water which is considered to be excellent water. All the pipes in my house are copper.

WILKES-BARRE, Pa. (AP) - Former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky maintains his innocence and tells a Pennsylvania newspaper he is "trying to learn from ... the struggle and circumstances" as he focuses on an appeal of his conviction on child sex abuse charges.
The (Wilkes-Barre) Citizens' Voice (http://bit.ly/WHqcA9) says Sandusky sent a note from his prison cell declining an interview, saying his attorneys have told him to stay quiet. The paper said Sandusky wrote that "there is much to learn" and that "nobody who covered the case and reported it has the time or took the time to study the allegations ... Justice and fairness were not a focus."
Sandusky is serving a sentence of 30 to 60 years in prison. He was convicted of abusing 10 boys.

Peyton Manning threw that many touchdown passes as Denver blasted defending Super Bowl champion Baltimore 49-27 in the season opener.
Hard to believe this guy is 37, which is about 217 in professional football years.
Whether it's the rules of the game, the team he's with now or some other more subtle factor, Manning has played some of his best football since arriving in Denver last year.
He led the NFL in completion percentage a year ago. His 4,659 passing yards were only 41 away from his career high of 4,700, which he set in Indianapolis at 34. His passer rating of 105.8 ranked second in the NFL behind Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers.
How long can he play? How long can he keep putting up numbers like this?
Will we see him throw seven touchdowns when he's 40? Or 45? Will he become the first NFL quarterback to draw social security in addition to his paycheck?
Granted, he's not a running back or linebacker or defensive back, where it's a bit harder to survive at 37. Even so, it's amazing when somebody still plays at that age – and remains as good as he ever has been, no matter his position.

Early Heart Attack Care (EHAC)
Recognizing early symptoms can help prevent a heart attack. Heart attack symptoms may occur hours or even weeks before the actual heart attack.
Early Symptoms of a heart attack include:
• Chest pain, pressure, squeezing or discomfort
• Anxiety
• Fatigue
• Jaw pain
• Pain that travels down one or both arms
• Nausea
• Feeling of fullness
• Shortness of breath
• Back pain
• Feeling of impending doom
• Dizziness
• Upper abdominal pressure or discomfort
• Light headaches, fainting, sweating, nausea or shortness of breath without chest discomfort
Early heart attack care (EHAC) is a campaign intended to educate everyone about the early symptoms of a heart attack in order to prevent the heart attack from ever occurring. Preventing the heart attack prevents heart damage. EHAC is also a plea to the public to be responsible, not only for themselves, but for those around who may be experiencing early heart attack symptoms and to help them obtain immediate treatment. This is a public education program that concentrates on the benefits of receiving early treatment and activating emergency medical services.
EHAC is important in saving your heart. If you or someone you know is experiencing these symptoms, take an aspirin and call 911.


text: LOANS ARE being made available by Balbriggan Credit Union to help people with the continuing rise of fuel prices this winter.Oil prices on average are up 18% since 2011 and look set to rise again this year. The trend that oil companies are reporting is an increase in the number of people buying even smaller amounts, with a huge spike in the demand for small drums of oil to keep people going and these come with a high price. The recent Third Irish League of Credit Unions ' What's Left' Tracker 2012 report highlights the fact that 8 in 10 consumers are worried that they won't be able to cope with the increasing energy costs this winter In order to address the issue, Balbriggan Credit Union has become the first credit union to offer this loan. Helping members, the credit union and local energy provider, Emo have launched 'Home Heat Assist'. Credit Union members who sign up to Home Heat Assist will be able to get a Home Heating Loan to fill their tank, and pay back the credit union. There are savings of up to €250 if you fill your tank as opposed to ordering in smaller quantities. Sean Staunton, Manager at Balbriggan Credit Union said: 'We are delighted to now be in a position to assist members who are facing increased prices in home heating oil.' The Emo-Community fund will see Emo invest in local community projects over the coming years that are approved by Balbriggan Credit Union and will be part of the overall Community investment plans by BCU.

Veterans Respond to Obama's "Rebranded Occupation" Announcement
A veteran's perspective makes it clear that two major points must be made in response to President Obama's announcement regarding combat troops leaving Iraq.First, there is no such thing as "non combat troops." It is a contradiction in terms. It is internally inconsistent. It is illogical. It is simply not ...

Bastia v Lorient: Preview
Lorient coach Christian Gourcuff says his players' flagging confidence was boosted by picking up three points last weekend and has demanded more of the same when they travel to an out-of-sorts Bastia tomorrow.
Lorient snapped a seven-game winless run with a solid 2-0 victory over Lille and now have their sights set on first back-to-back wins since early September.
Last week's match saw Lorient maintain their place in the top half of the table, and Gourcuff said: ``These were three very important points because we were in a situation that was beginning to be a concern.
``This was a victory that was good on a psychological level as well.
``It was imperative to have this kind of match against Lille.''
Looking ahead to tomorrow's encounter, Gourcuff added: ``The match against Bastia is a new test.
``Our recent matches away from home showed many shortcomings in terms of aggressiveness.
``Bastia is a team that puts in a lot of intensity and is also in a worrying situation.
``This is a meeting where there will be a lot of commitment and so far we have rarely been able to cope with this kind of opposition.''
Bastia coach Frederic Hantz continues to have a number of absentees to contend with as his side bids to bring a halt to a three-match losing run that has left them one place and two points above the relegation zone.
Defeats to Valenciennes and Lyon were followed by a comprehensive 3-0 reverse against Brest last weekend, while a red card for Francois Marque in the same match only added to Hantz's woes.
Marque joins Yannick Cahuzac in being suspended for tomorrow's match, while Ilan, Jerome Rothen, Sylvain Marchal and Gilles Cioni remain on the sidelines through injury.

Things are getting quite congested at the top of the Championship.

It's all back to The City Ground, then, for the second leg of the Championship play-off, and the people of Nottingham clearly have better thing to do than worry about who will or won't be forming the next government this evening.

Many apologies for the brevity of this week's match report, but the writer is coming down with something nasty. Hopefully, things will be back to normal as soon as possible. After a start which suggested that this season might turn out to be uncharacteristically one-sided, the Championship is now starting to take on its more familiar face of unpredictability....Read More
Thirty years ago this year, Nottingham Forest were in the middle of the greatest period in their history.

By 1978 they were the champions of England, and within a year they were the champions of Europe. Clough remains the only English manager...Read More

Superfast Fibre Access brings an online experience like never before. And it's not just about speed. It's about different people being able to do their own thing online – all at the same time!
Superfast Fibre Access has been designed to be an attractive proposition for the widest possible customer base. It's being delivered in two ways, over a:
We're overlaying part of our copper network with fibre - the part that runs from the local telephone exchange to our street cabinets. A single fibre can carry a great deal more information than copper wiring and does so in a far shorter space of time with minimal loss of signal power. We're also repositioning the electronics at the exchange with miniaturised cards and installing them in our street cabinets. So Fibre to the Cabinet (FTTC) is moving the exchange much closer to the doorstep.
Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) uses fibre all the way from the exchange right into your customers' homes and businesses. It enables the delivery of our fastest broadband services. We've been rolling out FTTP at Brownfield sites such as Bradwell Abbey, near Milton Keynes, and Highams Park, London. Brownfield means that a copper network already exists in the area and that fibre will be overlaid all the way from the exchange right into the homes and businesses.
The rollout of superfast fibre broadband is well underway and we estimate that by the end of Spring 2014, up to 2.5 million small businesses will be able to access this technology. The material below will help you consider the needs of your customers and make an informed choice about whether Ethernet or Superfast Fibre Access for Business will suit your customers best.

good lord this is a hard invite to get
Dude, the ratio thing sounds complicated...
what the hell is this waffle nonsense about?
It's a bittorrent site... they give as much as they take... and I imagine they have safe words like "yellow" that they use when things get a little out of control.
On a similar note I went to The Waffle recently and although I would avoid the onion rings (skinny fried things, best meant for garnish), the waffles were outta sight!

Actually God loves everyone and is giving them the opportunity to learn the truth from his word. He does have requirements, which are not burdensome. Also the Bible in no way supports the thought of a burning hellfire. All those dead are that, simply dead, awaiting a resurrection to a paradise earth which will be be brought about after the wicked are destroyed at Armageddon. (John 5:28,29; Rev. 21:3,4) If you would like to learn what the Bible really teaches let me know. It is far different from the hypocritical teachings found in most religions.January 11 2013 at 12:30 AM Report abuse Permalink +1 rate up rate down Reply

The sign of the times is better media, photography, and an internet to scare the heck out of everyone. These events are as natural as the earth is old.January 10 2013 at 9:25 PM Report abuse Permalink +2 rate up rate down Reply
It's called "Global Warming". We are not in the Dark Ages, we don't have to attribute such events to supernatural beings. There is such a thing as Science that provides much more rational and fact based information regarding such events. Let's leave our God's out of the conversation and try to find real life solutions to some of the problems that face us today.January 10 2013 at 8:55 PM Report abuse Permalink +2 rate up rate down Reply

This is all described in Revelation - and more. If you read the bible, you will be on the fast track to know God. No real point in avoiding reading it. Christians feel the support of God all through their lives, and it's alot better than trying to get to grips with all the joys of life, childbirth, but also illness, beautiful scenery, but also difficult deaths, wars, love, etc. Don't go it alone - get His help and know "the peace that passes all understanding".January 10 2013 at 8:14 PM Report abuse Permalink +1 rate up rate down Reply

Many of you are always talking that "im a christian" crap, and carry a heart and mind full of hatred towards other religions, genders, nationalities, sexual preference and race thinking your going to go to heaven.
Wake up, God don't like fake. Your only fooling yourself. I'm married and love women, but I don't hate any one because they are gay, or Jewish, or what ever. I only hate those who hate me or try to do me wrong.
But I'm not perfect and I know that if there is a hell, I will see you there. We can all burn together. I don't believe in heaven or hell. I think they are right here. I think the demons are the rich and the Republicans. So yea, keep lying to yourself, because your only fooling yourself.
Good thing about it is, that you will be seeing all your friends and relatives there, and if you don't, at least know that your all burning in the same fire lake.
Oh, and by the way, hate Jews all you want because Jesus was Jewish. so i guess you hate him too.
Revelation says this all will happen, but Christians will feel His care and support, while others will just be plain scared. God wants everyone on His team. If you read the bible you'll be on the fast track to get to know Him, You can know Him without the bible, but why miss out on what He has to say ?January 10 2013 at 8:09 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply

The Washington Post
Hostess Brands' announcement that it would wind down its operations set off a wave of nostalgia for Twinkies, with sellers seeking hundreds of dollars for them on eBay.
The Associated Press
A truck enters the Hostess plant in Biddeford on Nov. 16, 2012, the day the company announced it would wind down its operations.

Eleven companies have submitted bids to acquire the Hostess cake brands, which include Twinkies, out of the bankruptcy process, according to court documents filed this month. The number of bidders indicates a robust interest in reviving the snacks.
"Somebody's going to make Twinkies -- that's not a concern," according to a source close to the negotiations. "The question is who and how."
A winner could be announced as early as next week, although the process could drag on in bankruptcy court in New York much longer.
Hostess Brands announced Nov. 16 that it would wind down its operations, closing 33 bakeries, 565 distribution centers, about 5,500 delivery routes and 570 bakery outlet stores throughout the United States. More than 18,000 people lost their jobs.
The announcement set off a wave of nostalgia for Twinkies, with consumers emptying shelves and scavengers seeking to sell them for hundreds of dollars on eBay.
Reportedly among the leading bidders is C. Dean Metropoulos and Co., a private equity firm that also owns Pabst Blue Ribbon.
Separately, Hostess is also selling off its bread business, including Nature's Pride and Wonder, which attracted 13 bidders.
The Hostess cake business -- also including Donettes, Ding Dongs and Ho Hos -- had nearly $1 billion in sales last year, according to figures from SymphonyIRI Infoscan, which does not include sales at Walmarts.
And though Twinkies have dominated coverage of the company's demise, Hostess actually sold many more doughnuts and cupcakes. Twinkies sales amounted to $73.7 million, according to the figures.
The bakeries where the cakes are made are likely to be acquired by the bidders, a source said, because there is a shortage of such facilities. Twinkies were baked at Hostess plants in Columbus, Ga.; Emporia, Kan.; Ogden, Utah; Schiller Park, Ill.; Seattle; and Wayne, N.J.
Hostess also had a bakery in Biddeford, which could be part of a package deal proposed by Georgia-based Flowers Foods. Flowers Foods has expressed an interest in picking up some of Hostess' bread brands.
But the return of Twinkies and other brands does not mean the company's former employees will regain their jobs.
Hostess's bankruptcy was precipitated, according to the company, by the union refusing wage and benefit concessions that management had demanded. However, a union representative said this week that for any of the bidders, the former workers offer the best chance of restarting operations swiftly.
"The Bakers look forward to the next phase for these iconic brands that past generations have grown up with -- as a fourth generation baker, believe me I know," David Durkee, president of the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union, said in a statement. "While we don't know what the outcome will be of either the auction process or who will be hired to work in the plants, what we do know is that our members provide new owners the best chance of success in a seamless revival of operations."
