One of Chicago's most distinctive structures, and a reminder of the lakefront's industrial past, the old Pugh Terminal Warehouse was originally built over a 100 years ago. The 6-story north side of the building, fronting Illinois St, is clad in red face brick. The 7-story south side is stretched about a third of a mile along the Ogden Slip toward Lake Michigan.
The building has hosted a variety of uses over its life span, and recently has been revived as River East, a mix of office and retail. Among its newest tenants is entertainment magnet Pinstripes Inc. Pinstripes brings its mixture of bowling, bocce and banquets to the former warehouse and is ratcheting up competition for entertainment dollars in the downtown neighborhood.
Project Highlights:
- Creative re-use transforms two level of the space previously used as a banquet/reception hall for weddings, into a distinctive dining and entertainment venue featuring a bistro with an upscale flair and cuisine, elegant wine cellars, alongside bowling and bocce fun
- There are two bars, one located on the first floor near the main entry, the other located on the lower level
- The Pinstripes venue is located right along the water next to the Ogden Slip so customers have the option to dock their boats and enter the entertainment facility through the lower level patio

This article explains, in layman's terms, what the basic difference between Program Stream and Transport Stream is, and why it is still relevant today.
The two major ways in which video data is used
This is simple. Data is like water. Data is either stored or it flows.
Either you store data on drives or discs or tapes, etc., or you stream data via cables or the airways.
If you're working on your computer, and creating and sharing files with your friends, you are only using data in 'storage' mode. If you are uploading content to Youtube or downloading movies from iTunes, you are still using data in 'storage' mode. 'Copy and paste' is as exciting as it gets in this mode.
However, when data flows (streams), things get a bit more complicated. You have to make sure data stays within bounds, exactly like how water needs to be contained in pipes or reservoirs.
In 'Streaming' mode, Control is the key word. Furthermore, when you get your data at the end of the pipeline (cable or air), you also need strict error checking systems in place to make sure bits haven't been lost.
You might be asking: But why is downloading and uploading (or copy-paste) not streaming? Data is flowing, isn't it?
Excellent question. Data is flowing (after all, data is meant to flow), but in this case, all of the data is being transferred from one point to another – just like if one is transferring a glass full of water to another. There still are some checks and balances in place, but you're not throwing data into the air for the world to catch. It's a lot more easier on the nerves.
Program Stream
Data meant to be stored and copy-pasted is encoded in a Program Stream. The word 'Program' is just a name, don't attach any meaning to it.
We have already learnt that audio, video and metadata is interleaved together to create files, a process called multiplexing. This is done so that a video file can be shared easily (rather than sharing each individual content separately).
A Program Stream (PS or MPEG-PS) is just a container format for multiplexed audio, video and metadata.
Why is it called 'stream' if it is meant for storage? Like I said, all data is meant to flow at some point. Video as a program stream will also be played back or recorded or copy-pasted at some point. There still has to be some level of control to ensure these 'basic' tasks are performed without any data corruption or loss.
The most common use of the program stream is the VOB container format for DVDs.
The Program Stream specification was primarily created for 'reliable' media. You know your boundaries (Hard drives, DVDs, etc.). Think of it as a bull pen for domesticated animals.
There's one more defining feature: A Program Stream can only contain one content channel. One image-sound combo, that's it. If a DVD needs special features, it's written as another Program Stream.
Transport Stream
The MPEG transport stream (MPEG-TS, MTS or TS) is a container format for transmission as well as storage of audio, video and metadata.
The two major features of the Transport Stream are error checking/correction and stream synchronization. When they designed this system, they knew that data will be transmitted over wide distances over many kinds of cables, technologies and boxes. This exponentially increases the chances of error and corruption, not to mention signal degradation (loss of signal strength).
So, if program stream is a bull pen for domesticated animals, the Transport Stream is an iron cage for wild animals. It is far stricter, and stronger, overall. What do I mean by 'stronger'? To put it jokingly, if Program Stream faced Transport Stream in a boxing match, TS would win in the first round via knockout. That tough.
This robustness of the transport stream is one reason why it is widely used in terrestrial and satellite broadcast, even today. The MPEG TS is the container of choice for 90% of the world's broadcast. No matter what you shoot in: RAW, H.264, HDCAM SR or film, your beloved content is converted and broadcast as MPEG-TS.
Finally, there's one more major advantage to Transport Stream: It can carry multiple 'programs' in a single container.
This is why Blu-ray uses MPEG Transport Stream for its content.
Wait a minute! Isn't the purpose of Blu-ray similar to DVDs? Shouldn't it be using Program Stream instead?
The makers of Blu-ray decided that it is important for blu-ray to offer greater features when compared to DVD. One of these features is the 'picture in picture' effect, where you can actually playback multiple videos at the same time from the disc.
Also, broadcast programs (content) can be recorded to Blu-ray without altering the format. The same disc can be read from and re-edited without further alteration, too. It all stays as MPEG-TS.
Or maybe, they don't like the idea of 'copy-paste'.
Which is better quality, PS or TS?
Neither. Don't confuse the word MPEG with MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, etc. The latter are compression specifications, while PS and TS are container formats, which I've outlined here. They are all made by the parent body MPEG, hence the title.
E.g., Blu-ray can be compressed as MPEG-2, MPEG-4, H.264 and sometimes AVCHD, all within the MPEG-TS container (.M2TS). The reason why people confuse TS with MPEG-2 is because the most widely used compression system for broadcast is MPEG-2.
Both PS and TS are containers, and have nothing to do with video quality.

Talented scriptwriters are being the chance to have their work professionally produced.
New comedy writers are being helped after north east talent-supporting charity, Sunday for Sammy, teamed up with Laffalang.
The show, which is open to the public, will feature seven sketches by north east writers, and takes place at The Stand in High Bridge, Newcastle, at 2pm on Sunday, August 16.
The sketches, which range from a funeral sermon delivered by an unconventional priest to the Geordie way to cure the smoking habit, will be augmented by a number of skits from Sunday For Sammy and the Laffalang.
Ray Laidlaw, Sunday for Sammy Trust administrator, said: "It will be a fantastic event showcasing some of the north east's most talented new comedy writers.
"The Laffalang team of actors are seasoned professionals who thrive on new work, they can't wait to get their hands on the scripts."
The Laffalang 'Sketch for Sammy' event has been supported by a donation to Sunday for Sammy by the family and friends of musician and stand-up comic Philip Richardson who died in 2013.
Philip's mother Patricia said: "Philip had a particular interest in music, comedy and the arts.
"After his funeral we had a collection and then his friends organised a tribute night at the Bridge Hotel in Newcastle that raised even more money.
"We felt the Sunday For Sammy Trust was the most appropriate charity to donate to because Philip was always helping people. The buzz around the whole event is magnificent. He'd have been thrilled."
Ray is keen to make the competition an annual event: "It is a celebration of new regional comedy writing.
"The sketches are terrific and we know the Sunday for Sammy and Laffalang audiences – and anyone else with a sense of humour – will love them."
The show will be presented as a script-in-hand performance and north east comedian Steffan Peddie will link the sketches.
Tim Healy, from the Sunday for Sammy Trust, said: "Sparkling, original writing is the lifeblood of actors and comedians.
"I'm thrilled that the Sunday for Sammy Trust is taking the initiative to encourage new comedy writing in the region and I'm really looking forward to the results."
Tickets are free. For more information visit www.tyneidols.com/contact

It took someone as famous and loaded as Lil Wayne to finally shell out enough dough so that the million dollar Dr. Dre Headphones could see the light of the day. Or as is more relevant in this case, the lights of the nightclubs. The American rapper, best known for Tha Block is Hot and The Carter III was spotted with these million dollar diamond encrusted headphones at the All-Star Game on Sunday night.
The headphones have been created by Dr. Dre in collaboration with Graff Diamonds. As to what Lil Wayne was doing with a million dollar accessory in a NBA game is something that only he can tell us.

Collapsible Traffic Cones
Traffic cones are a staple of roadside construction. Drivers may associate these orange markers with slow moving traffic jams, but traffic cones ensure the safety of all on the road: roadside crews, emergency vehicles, and drivers alike. It's often recommended that drivers carry traffic cones in case of emergency situations, but regular cones take up lots of room. With the invention of collapsible cones, however, traffic cones can be stored flat, taking up far less room than traditional cones.
Safety Vests
Yellow, lime green, orange-no matter what the fluorescent color, safety vests are indispensable when it comes to the safety of all. Roadside surveyors, supervisors, and construction workers rely upon high-visibility clothing to stay safe while on the job. Brightly colored, reflective vests ensure that roadside workers are seen by drivers who rely upon their instruction for direction and safety.
Reflective Tape
Reflective tape is super-useful when it comes to road safety. It can be added to clothes, signs, cones, trucks, cars, bikes-anything that needs increased night-time visibility. Poor night-time visibility is one of the leading causes of accidents. That's why it's so important for the road to be appropriately marked with headlight-catching materials, so as to increase the visibility on the road at night. When it comes to traffic and roadside operations, reflective tape keeps everyone safe.
Warning Flags and Safety Batons
Whether directing traffic around construction areas or warning drivers of accidents, flags and batons ensure that emergency crews and roadside workers keep traffic moving regularly and safely. Warning flags come in bright attention-getting colors like red and orange for daytime use, while safety batons with LED lights are clearly visible at night. For roadside direction and safety, these tools are indispensable.
LED Strobes, Beacons, and Flashers
Bright lights, blinking lights, flashing lights-when it comes to traffic safety you need...well, lights.
Distraction is the leading cause of car accidents; that's why it's necessary to have the most eye-catching lights to ensure high visibility and the greatest amount of safety. Strobes, beacons, and flashers are used on both emergency and roadside crew vehicles; they also mark construction sites, road blocks, accidents, and other caution zones to get the attention of drivers who are passing through these areas.
LED lights are brighter and more cost effective than regular lights, and they come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes and colors. Flashlights come in LED varieties as well. From roof top LED light bars to grille strobe lights, having the right lights means safety for all.

Find a Transmission Repair Shop for Your Vehicle
You may need transmission repair to your car if it is having trouble shifting or operating correctly. Your car's transmission controls the movement of your vehicle. This complicated component is able to take the power produced by the engine to the wheels of the vehicle. If anything goes wrong during this process, your car will not move right. If you have ever been driving and suddenly you feel like your car is in neutral, you may need repairs. This happens when you are pushing the gas pedal and your wheels are not getting the power from the engine. All of the power is staying in the engine. Therefore, you hear the engine but your car does not respond with movement. If the repairs needed are minor, your car will most likely do this only once in a while. After this happens, it might start working properly once again.
If your car needs minor transmission repair, the shop might be able to fix it quickly. One of the easiest types of repairs involves the fluid in the reservoir in your engine. This is one of the first things the shop will inspect after you bring your car in. They will check the level of the transmission fluid. They will determine if the level is accurate or not. If it is not, they will add fluid to it so that it is at the proper level. They will start your car and may even drive it around. If the fluid remains in the car, the problem might be fixed. If the level has been reduced, there might be a fluid leak. If this is the case, the shop will perform the necessary transmission repair to find the leak and fix it. There is a chance that you may need one or more new parts when this is done. The shop will replace any parts that are found to be causing the problem. After that, the vehicle may run fine once again.
The shop will investigate the transmission further if this is not the problem. If the car has enough fluid, the problem may exist elsewhere within the system. The shop will go through various different inspections to determine where the problem exists. Once the problem is discovered, the shop will fix it. It is vital to choose a shop that knows what they are doing. They must have knowledge and experience in fixing transmissions. Every vehicle has a transmission, but every vehicle's transmission may be slightly different.
Your car will operate great if the transmission is running the way it should be. If anything goes wrong though, the car will not drive well. It will drive roughly, and will have trouble shifting or moving. Choose an experienced repair shop for your transmission repairs. You will be guaranteed to receive great work for reasonable prices. A reputable shop will also stand behind their work by offering a warranty on the repairs that they do. They will guarantee that the problems are fixed using the best possible methods.
Safety Tips For Motor Vehicle Owners
Year after year, a lot more people are being assaulted in parking areas. Many are exploited near or inside their vehicles. These random acts of violence can be easily avoided when the public becomes much more aware of tips on the best ways to avoid being victimized.
To start with, make sure that your automobile is working to the best of its ability. A damaged car in the wrong part of town or on a deserted road is a trouble magnet. Make sure you have good tires for the area you will be traveling and keep plenty of fuel in the tank. Keep car tools and provisions like bottled water, sports drinks and energy bars for a good start, inside the trunk area just in case you need them. Winter in the north you should toss in a few blankets and yes even a roll of toilet paper A few safety gadgets like a flashlight small pocket knife and self-defense weapons such as a pepper spray or stun gun will complete your car safety kit.
Valentine's Day a few years ago, our state got behind during a winter storm and there were thousands of people stuck on the interstate for 3 days until they were able to get everyone moving. The National Guard had to take food, water and fuel to these people. There were a number of individuals hospitalized over this.
When you are headed to the malls or department stores always select the best parking spot available. Do not park too far from your specific destination. Park in areas with adequate lighting, security guards or surveillance cameras and keep in mind assaults can happen any time of day. When going back to your car, make sure that you have your keys available they can be an effective weapon in a close encounter and most fobs have a panic button, never hesitate to use it. You will only look silly to yourself over a false alarm.
It would not hurt to have a defense weapon while walking. A mini pepper spray which has a key ring can be used for this purpose. Survey the area while walking. Take note of almost any suspicious person hanging around the exits or vehicles within the lot. If you are with doubt, do not go near your automobile. Ask someone, ideally security staff, to go with you right up until you have eased your way out of your parking place. They do not want to have any incidents on their property so are normally very responsive to customers If someone does approach you and attempt to get your automobile, calmly let the car thief have it. Do the same thing if a thief goes for your valuable items.
Whenever hostility is being aimed openly at you, it is time take action a pepper spray can be employed as a deterrent. Defense sprays shot at the face will trigger an extreme burning sensation in the eyes and therefore temporary blindness. The tissue lining of the nose as well as mouth will enlarge, resulting in obstructed air intake. A pepper spray is a non deadly weapon that should be employed to getting away from dangerous circumstances. The incapacitation of the enemy is the best chance to save yourself and seek from security or police.
In summary just a little physical preparedness and mental forethought can go a long way to increase your safety many folds.

Why Tyres Are So Important
Tyres are a very important (maybe the most important) component of your car or truck because they represent your only contact between you and the road surface. Drive with bald or faulty tyres and you run the risks of accidents and injuries. In the United Kingdom, the law requires a minimum thread depth of 1.6 mm in the main grooves which are situated in the central three quarters of a tyre. On average, you should replace the tyres every 40.000 km. Irrespective of distance travelled, you should change the tyres if the thread depth is below a safety level, but really you shouldn't need a law to force you to change tyres when it is time, for your life, the life of your passengers who will most likely be your family members, and the life of other road users depend on you doing the right thing.
Many consumers don't know enough about tyres to make an educated purchase. For some, the choice comes down to price and/or availability. Others buy tyres based on appearance or reputation. Educated consumers know to purchase tyres based on safety, quietness, road-holding ability, and wear.
Regardless of tyre choice, it is necessary that consumers understand why tyres are so important. tyres are a vehicle's only contact with the road. Even the brawniest engine, strongest brakes, or most advanced antiskid system, is at the mercy of the tyre's grip on the road. Every move a driver makes with the steering wheel or brake or gas pedal is transmitted to the road through the four notepad-sized contact patches of the tyres.
Since a vehicle doesn't have the ability to change tyres like a person changes shoes, consumers must select a tyre that will work year 'round and in every conceivable driving situation. You wouldn't wear high heels to go hiking, and you wouldn't wear ski boots to dance a ballet. However, consumers often ask their cars' tyres to do many things, and many times a vehicle's tyres aren't suited to the task.
Selecting the right tyres for your driving needs is as important as selecting the right vehicle. tyres that are worn won't be able to displace enough water to prevent hydroplaning. Performance tyres won't be able to get much grip in snow. All-season tyres can't manage the heat creased in high-speed driving. Passenger-car tyres might not be able to carry the heavy load found in a contractor's pickup.
But before consumers can select the right tyre, they have to understand a little tyre technology first.
Reasons To Have Your Car Suspension Inspected
If you perform a lot of commuting and cover many miles each day, your automobile may eventually need realignment. You can test the timing for realignment by driving slowly, such as a roll-up to a stop sign, and slightly easing your grip on the steering wheel. If the car seems to instinctively pull one direction or another, then realignment may be in order. You may also note this tendency when making a turn, and the car wants to go strongly in a certain direction as you pull the wheel. Other things to note while driving include knocking sounds from the vehicle. Turn off the radio and listen for any noises as you roll along. If there is a clattering or knocking noise, there may be a bolt loose in the undercarriage.
Alignment work will include inspection of items related to the issue. This could include a review of struts bearings and ball joints, bushings and sway bar links. Catching issues early on can help save you costly repairs down the road, as suspension or alignment problems can become complex if left in disrepair. Simple issues such driving through road construction zones day after day may actually lead to problems with suspension. These rough roads, where paving has been stripped, can put excessive strain on shocks and struts. Over time, even bolts near the tires may rattle loose. If you have not had your car examined lately, then even simple rumble strips on the side of the road might lead to problems with a car that needs work.
Things that a mechanic may look for is leaky or cracked shocks, amount of unnecessary vehicle motion such as bouncing or swaying, and tire wear that is not even. The tire issue, in particular, can mean that shocks and struts need replacement. Excessive bounce experienced in a vehicle can affect overall control of the car, comfort during riding, and even ability to brake in a timely manner.
Over time, a bounce that starts out subtle can grow worse, so it is best to get the automobile inspected for quick repairs. One quick way to occasionally test the shocks is to park the car, then go around to one side and lean on it. Step away, and if the car bounces more than once, the shocks or struts may need to be examined.
Another instance when you may want to have the undercarriage and alignment examined is after an accident. When a car is damaged, you may be focused on having the physical damage repaired. Remember that when a car is hit, the vehicle's alignment also absorbs the impact. Momentum from the crash can bend metal on the underside that you may not see, which might cause suspension and alignment issues. This problem eventually can lead to hidden wear and tear or obvious issues such as knocking or rattling noises within the nuts and bolts. A mechanic trained to spot alignment issues after an accident can ensure adequate repairs. It is important not to overlook this aspect when going for repairs after an accident.
You also may choose to have a used vehicle inspected if you are considering buying it. A full-vehicle inspection can be worthwhile to see whether there is any damage or issues, or even possibly whether the car has been in an accident. An inspection can alert you to any damage or previous repairs that may have been made. This type of knowledge is something you would want to know before buying the vehicle, and could become information for negotiating a purchase price. On the other hand, you may decide to walk away from the car and not buy based on inspection information.
Most cars are designed to withstand the rigors of the road and provide you with many years of good performance. As the miles add up on an automobile's odometer, though, it can soon be time to have your car suspension inspected. Do not neglect this important part of auto maintenance. Regular checkups can ensure that you enjoy a smooth ride and that the parts are all in good working order. This attention to detail not only can add life to the tires, but may extend the years of service from a vehicle.

Description of Research ExpertiseResearch Interests: Oral delivery of human therapeutic proteins bio-encapsulated within plant cells to confer protection against inherited or infectious diseases
Key Words: Oral delivery, bioencapsulation of biopharmaceuticals in plant cells, vaccine antigens, autoimmune disorders, infectious diseases or metabolic disorders
In an emerging new concept, freeze-dried plant cells (lettuce) expressing biopharmaceuticals (fused with transmucosal carriers) are protected in the stomach from acids/enzymes but are released to the circulatory or immune system when plant cell walls are digested by microbes that colonize the gut. Therapeutic proteins in lyophilized plant cells (in capsules) are stable >30 months at room temperature and maintain their folding, disulfide bonds, assembly and functionality.
Oral delivery of antigens or auto-antigens bio-encapsulated in plant cells:Several vaccine antigens (against Dengue, polio, malaria, tuberculosis, cholera, anthrax, plague, etc) or autoantigens (diabetes, hemophilia, etc) have been expressed in lettuce chloroplasts. Vaccine antigens bio-encapsulated in plant cells upon oral delivery after priming, conferred both mucosal and systemic immunity and protection against bacterial, viral or protozoan pathogens or toxin challenge. In recent studies supported by the Gates Foundation were done in collaboration with FDA and neutralization studies were evaluated by the CDC laboratories.
Oral delivery of blood clotting factors FVIII or FIX prevented inhibitory antibodies/complications after injection of blood clotting factors in hemophilia A/B mice or dogs by developing tolerance. In-planta drug dose was determined using cutting edge proteomic approaches and in collaboration with industry (Novo Nordisk, Bayer).
Oral delivery of functional proteins: Oral delivery of exendin-4 expressed in plant cells regulated blood glucose levels similar to injections by stimulating insulin secretion and a 5,000 fold excess dose didn't cause hypoglycemia because insulinotropism of exendin-4 is glucose dependent. Oral delivery of angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) or angiotensin-(1-7) attenuated pulmonary hypertension and associated cardiac dysfunction. Amyloid plaques were reduced in vivo by 70% in hippocampus and cortex brain regions when fed with myelin basic protein and reduced Aβ42 accumulation in retinae and prevented loss of retinal ganglion cells in 3xTg Alzheimer's disease mice.
Therefore, this new platform should offer a low cost alternative to deliver human therapeutic proteins to combat infectious or inherited diseases by eliminating inactivated pathogens, expensive purification, cold storage/transportation and sterile injections.

Question to the Home Secretary on Stephen Lawrence
25/06/2013 11:11:00
Following the latest revelations about the Stephen Lawrence case, I asked a question about it to the Home Secretary yesterday:
Gavin Barwell (Croydon Central) (Con): Does the Home Secretary agree that it now appears that the Macpherson report, which was so controversial at the time, actually understated the scale of the problem, and that the response that Neville and Doreen Lawrence received when their son was brutally murdered fell so far short of what they had a right to expect that it is almost beyond belief? Given that the Metropolitan police cannot do their job unless they have the support of all London's communities, is it not essential that we get to the bottom of what has happened as soon as possible and that anyone found guilty of wrongdoing feels the full weight of justice?
Mrs May: My hon. Friend is absolutely right. Neville and Doreen Lawrence had every right to expect that the police would do nothing less than hunt down those who murdered their son Stephen. Sadly, as we have seen, it was many years before anyone was brought to justice and there were issues with how the investigation was conducted and with the Metropolitan police, as was shown in the Macpherson report. He is right that if the police are to do their job, they need the confidence and support of the community, which is why it is imperative that where there is wrongdoing, it is identified, and that those who have committed wrongdoing, be it misconduct or criminal activity, are brought to the appropriate justice.
I was also interviewed about it on Newsnight last night.

About Us
FacultyGordon Vernick, trumpet (Director)
Dr. Gordon Vernick is a Professor of Music and Coordinator of Jazz Studies at Georgia State University. He holds a Bachelor of Music from Ithaca College, Ithaca, NY; a Master of Music in Education from the University of Miami, and a Doctor of Arts from the University of Northern Colorado, Greeley.
As a professional trumpet player, he has performed in all musical mediums from symphony orchestra to jazz quartet and has free-lanced all over the world. He is currently active in the Southeast United States as a clinician, an adjudicator, and as a freelance trumpet player.
As a jazz educator he is the past president of the Georgia Asso¬ciation of Jazz Educators, past chair of the International Association of Jazz Educators Curriculum Com¬mittee. He is currently the Director of the Rialto Youth Jazz Orchestra and the musical director of the Rialto Jazz for Kids middle school jazz program. He co-wrote the college textbook, Jazz History Overview, published by Kendall-Hunt. The text is in its 2nd printing and has been adopted by numerous universities around the country.
He is director he GSU Faculty Jazztet which performs regu¬larly in Atlanta and has appeared at the Atlanta Jazz Festival, the High Museum Jazz Series, the International Association for Jazz Education Conference and many other venues in the southeast. He has performed with such world-renown jazz artists as Kenny Werner, Clare Fischer, John Hart, Kevin Hays, Conrad Herwig, Marc Copland, Randy Brecker, Paul McCandless, and many others. The Jazztet has performed twice in San Jose, Costa Rica, Moscow, and Beijing, China. The group was invited to perform in November 2004 at the Curso e Colegio Bardal in Florianopolis, Brazil. As a jazz clinician he has served residencies and performed at the Conservatory of San Juan, P.R., the Taipei American School in Taiwan, the Singapore American School, the Bangkok International School, the Jakarta International School, Columbia College Chicago, Montana State University, The Conservatory of Bordeaux, and the University of Capetown, South Africa.
His weekly radio show, Jazz Insights, on WMLB Atlanta, is available in podcast form on I-Tunes and was featured on the Apple Home Page in May 2009. The programs have been featured on a number of websites including the New York Times and have been downloaded over 0 million times since May 2009 His CD, The Strangest Thing, was released on Jbird Records in May 2008 and his latest CD, Destination, was released in May 2012. He is an Adams Trumpet performing artist.
By some measures, Kevin Bales was a latecomer to jazz, already 17 when he encountered the sounds and structures and became captivated by the freedom and corresponding challenges of the music. But if late to the party, he wasted no time in immersing himself in the celebration, declaring total commitment to what would be his life's work and backing his announcement by resigning his job and designated career in computer programming.
Kevin could commit to jazz with a reasonable degree of expectation. He was already an accomplished pianist, with classical chops refined since the age of 10. So accomplished he was invited to audition for the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, then under the direction of its most storied conductor Robert Shaw, at age 16.
Kevin's initial career move was to the University of North Florida and a budding if little-known jazz program. There he met and performed with, and went on to record and tour with, a number of monumental artists who had settled into that burgeoning North Florida jazz scene. Giants like Wynton Marsalis, Louie Bellson, Eddie Daniels, James Moody, Ben Tucker, Ira Sullivan, Sam Rivers, and Nat Adderley. He counts among his mentors bassist Ben Tucker, multi-instrumentalist Ira Sullivan, guitar legends Nathen Page and Jack Petersen, and the fiercely individual saxophonist Bunky Green. His meeting with Bunky Green led to five years of tours. His encounter with guitarist Nathen Page blossomed into 15 years of spot tours and four albums. And his work with trumpeter extraordinaire Marcus Printup has become a lifetime association that has included recordings on Blue Note/Capital records.
Few artists have the patience for teaching – as are few teachers accomplished players. But Kevin has amassed a reputation for his prowess in both professions. While still a senior at North Florida he was drafted into a full teaching load, and continued to be an integral part of the school's jazz program for upwards of a decade. Today, Kevin manages his own jazz program, overseeing an ambitious schedule of ambitious jazz students.
Far from burdensome, Kevin finds teaching exhilarating. "I love working with students," he says, "and it helps me in my own playing, because you have to analyze and understand what you're playing in order to explain it."
Kevin has amassed a long list of awards and a reputation as one of the finest jazz pianists performing anywhere. In 1994, less than a decade into jazz, he won the American Pianist Association's Jazz Piano Competition. In addition to nearly every important jazz venue in the South, he has performed in some of the most acclaimed clubs and festivals in America and around the world: the JVC Jazz Festival in New York, The Bakery in Los Angeles, The Kennedy Center and Lincoln Center jazz series, the Toronto and Edinburgh jazz festivals, and the Moscow Center for the Performing Arts.
His list of recordings is similarly extensive, including his own first album, The First Day, released in 2006, and recent titles with Motema recording artist Rene Marie, with whom he also currently tours. Their most recent album, Voice of My Beautiful Country, on the Motema Label is currently in the top 10 on the jazz charts.
Justin Varnes, drums (Combos)
Born in Jacksonville, Justin Varnes studied at the University of North Florida and the New School. In New York, Justin toured with Phoebe Snow, with whom he performed on the Roseanne Barr Show, Madison Square Garden, and National Public Radio's "World Cafe".
Justin has performed with several jazz greats in New York, including: Wessell Anderson, Peter Bernstein, Aaron Goldberg (Joshua Redman), Wycliffe Gordon, Marcus Printup, Bob Reynolds, and Ben Wolfe (Harry Connick, Jr.).
Currently residing in Atlanta, GA, Justin performs regularly with Joe Gransden, Kevin Bales, Gary Motley, and Audrey Shakir as well as continued work with Bob Reynolds, Wycliffe Gordon, and Wessell Anderson. Justin was tapped for work as part of the Earl Klugh Trio and is a top call sideman for touring artists through the Southeast. He has performed with Mose Allison, Kenny Barron, Victor Goines, Vincent Herring, Kevin Hays, Lew Soloff, David Sanchez, and Ira Sullivan.
Justin Chesarek, drums/piano (Combos)
Justin Chesarek is all about swing. It's what drives him, it's what makes him strike drum heads with well-composed intensity, and it's why some of the best jazz musicians in Atlanta keep him on call. Since arriving in Atlanta in August, 2008, Justin Chesarek, a transplant from rural Pennsylvania, has made quite a name for himself. He isn't your average session drummer. While regularly playing gigs with Gary Motley, Laura Coyle, and Gordon Vernick, Justin also flexes his composing muscles with his group The Tree-O of Love, who maintain a regular Wednesday night gig at Churchill Grounds, Atlanta's premier jazz club. Pulling diverse influences from jazz, classical, rock, world music, Justin writes and plays music with emotion, putting his artistry and talent in every note and beat he comes across. The end product is jazz — the virtuosity of Bebop, the soul and funkiness of the early days of Fusion, and a retro-modern mindset oozing with musicality and a beat that gets the inner ear thumpin'. "[Composing as a drummer] allows me to supply more of a concept of drums in melody. It gives me the opportunity to inject different rhythms and colors," Justin said. Consorting with members of jazz royalty including Houston Person, Jerry Bergonzi, and Johnny O'Neal, just to name a few, Justin is regularly asked to perform with some of the biggest names around. A graduate of Slippery Rock University, Slippery Rock, Pa., Justin holds a Bachelors of Music in Education. Under the direction of Dr. Stephen Hawk, Justin completed a two-week European tour, making appearances at the Montreaux Jazz Festival and the North Sea Jazz Festival. Justin finished his Masters of Music in Jazz Studies program in May, 2010 at Georgia State University and currently teaches at Emory University and Kennesaw State University.

Last night I was supposed to meet a friend in a coffee shop. Half an our passed and I received a message from him saying that he would not be able to come. Wanting to finish transcribing my data, I just shrugged off being stood up and continued with my business.
Minutes later, I found myself transferring from the couch area to the long table because the girl beside me just decided to air-dry her feet. The stench of her sweaty feet was giving me a headache. I really felt sorry for my nose for having to endure that disgusting odor.
At the long table, I immediately noticed a good-looking guy across me. He seemed to work in a corporate setting judging from his attire of a combination of long sleeves and black slacks. As he was intently reading his book, I kept on stealing glances and just appreciating the pleasant face that he has. Even at first glance I already knew he was gay. I have a knack of being right ninety percent of the time thanks to my valid gaydar.
With my earphones placed, I started to continue my transcription. In the duration of typing, I would occasionally pause and play the audio recording. During a time when the recording was paused, I heard guy across the table (GA) inviting a good friend (GF) to come over and accompany him. When GF arrived, I confirmed they're both gays through eavesdropping in their conversation whenever I was typing. They were talking about Bed and Obar, and of their friends' partners.
A part of their conversation stuck in my head..
GF: Nagkakagusto ka ba doon sa ganoon? sa girlie-girlie.
I was eager to hear their conversation because I wanted to know if the statement that straight-acting gay guys are strictly looking for the same is true.
GA: Hindi.
GF: ah. ako rin. isang beses kasi na kela.... ako, nakaupo ako sa sofa, narinig ko si... kumakanta ng regine velasquez song. nakaka-turn-off. hehehe
Incredible. I've long accepted that gays do have preferences. We are composed of different colors and shades that we choose who we would want to be with. But to look down on other gay men just because they sing Regine, Beyonce, or Mariah songs is, in my opinion, unnecessary. What's wrong with singing along with these divas? Though we gay guys are different, aren't we all still the same? We all like dicks, don't we?
Not really wanting to ruin my night and get angry, I just concentrated listening at the recording and typing what I hear. But during an interval, I caught another part of their conversation.
GA: dahil dun sa friend kong iyon kaya ako nakapasok jan sa Bed at OBar.
GF: ah baka ganoon ka na rin ah [doing the mapilantik hand gesture] haha Di ko alam, di naman kasi kita madalas makasama e.
GA: hehe hindi naman.
Who's he to say that? I just couldn't believe what I was hearing. It seems like there's discrimination even in a diverse community which fights for equality. Such a douche-bag. What surprised me more was they seem to be affluent educated individuals, yet they show narrow-mindedness with people in the same community.
I immediately turned back my attention to my laptop before I get really infuriated with those two. As I gazed through the glass window, I saw my friend, the one I was supposed to meet, walk towards the door. I greeted him as he approached the table before having a seat. He sat across me and beside GA. He greeted me, and then turned to GA and greeted him as well. And to my surprise, they're also friends. Talk about having an awkward small world.

Hampton Wins Scotiabank/Junior Achievement Jamaica Innovation Camp
Hampton High School's Scoshi Virtual Assistant came out on top at the recently held Scotiabank/Jamaica Junior Achievement Innovation Camp.
Competing against teams from schools such as Newell High; Mount Alvernia High; Iona High; St Georges College and Norman Manley High, Hampton's prototype that incorporated the use of biometrics to as a means to verify banking information, was selected.
Team member Kyla King explained that, "the Scoshi Virtual Assistant is a new age technological type of banking that uses retina, fingerprint and DNA recognition to make banking more secure….meaning no one else can access your banking profile and history". Ā
Other members of the winning team were Lacque Dixon, Aseemia Powell, Ashley Onfroy, and Diedra Grey.
This is the second year of the competition, which pulls on the creative skills of the students who must come up with ideas and create the most influential presentations within a short period. Organided into teams of five, each worked on their innovative proposals in response to the question "How do you envision the ultimate bank of the future?" Groups were to incorporate creative elements in their presentation utilising skits, videos and prototypes.
Second place winner, Newell High, cornered the elderly and disabled markets with their idea of the ScotiaJenny which is an enhancement of the already existing Scotia App, modified to include retina scans and facial recognition.Ā Mount Alvernia, the 2007 winners, took the third place position with the development of their model Holographic Teller Machine (HTM).
The participants were all part of a broader programme, 'Road to Success', organised by the Junior Achievement in association with Scotiabank, and trained by Scotia Volunteers. Road to Success raises the awareness among youth about the importance of managing their finances, and encourages them to have clear professional goals, interests and values. The Innovation Camp is one element of the Road to Success project.

You call them "they".
Are you sure "they" are two different persons? Just notice "their" shared interests, "their" identical opinions, "their" mutual support, "their" similar writing style, "their" use of the same words.
I think it's only one person, operating under several user names. Which, by the way, is characteristic behaviour for a shill.
Did you notice how "they" (sorry, I mean: he) was so quick to ask under which username I would post my next reply? Obviously, this very thought appeared in his mind so quickly because, for him, it is such a natural way of thinking.
Did you see the post of user NumbaOneShill, which appeared briefly in your other thread, before it was removed by a moderator? That user account was created only today. I think he created it for the very purpose of attacking us.
My experience on various forums is that people like him are actually very weak, and he knows it. Such people can only "survive" on a forum by attacking anyone who dares voice a different opinion. This can clearly be seen in this case too: he has never shown the politeness to discuss the message in our postings; instead, he chose to personally and directly attack the messenger. That's because he is unwilling to learn. He is glued to his current opinion because he thinks his opinion is perfect, by reason of him being infallible. Yet he knows that discussing his opinion might show him to be wrong. That very thought is so extremely frightening that he'll do anything to prevent that from happening. It's psychologically easier to stick to a wrong opinion and deny what his is doing, then to run the risk of learning something new and having to change his opinion. Therefore, he will go to great lengths, even personally attack us.
How to deal with persons like him? One key aspect is not to allow such persons to upset us. Do not take the attacks personally – the attacks are directed at our online presence, not at ourselves. It helps if you understand the psychology that causes such behaviour. Like when a three-year-old toddler is very angry, and starts shouting, calling you names, even hitting you with his fists. That too is sheer incapability of the toddler to express his anger in a more decent way. Of course, such behaviour must be ignored or corrected, but we don't blame a toddler on a personal level. Later on that day, we love the toddler like we did before, we play, and we hug.
I just wish that such forum trolls would not only behave like toddlers, but would be as quick as toddlers to change their behaviour to something respectful.
Couldnt have said it better, and you handled it with far more couth than I.

A family's home should be a sanctuary, a place where the troubles of the day are left at the door and we find shelter in the comfort and love of our family. But for too many in our community, the sanctity of the home has been violated by our broken immigration system, which is tearing families apart, families like Daniel Neyoy Ruiz's.
Neyoy Ruiz and his wife, Karla, came to this country seeking what we all seek — a better life. They have lived in Tucson for the past 14 years; in those years they had a son, Carlos; they have paid taxes. More importantly, they have become an integral part of our community.
In 2011 the happiness they found here began to unravel when Neyoy Ruiz was stopped by the Department of Public Safety. Though no citation was issued, the Border Patrol was called and their nightmare began. Facing a final deportation order, this past Tuesday Neyoy Ruiz entered into sanctuary at Southside Presbyterian Church.
Offering sanctuary to Neyoy Ruiz was something we prayerfully and carefully considered because we do not take this action lightly. As one of the founding churches of the Sanctuary Movement of the 1980s, we know there are risks involved and we know there is a great deal of work ahead as we reorient the life of our church around caring for this family.
We also know that in times such as these, we are called by our faith in Jesus Christ to act on behalf of those who suffer. Throughout scriptures, people of faith are called to care for the orphan and the widow, but when it is a broken immigration system that is creating orphans and widows, we need to start intervening sooner. Across the nation communities of faith are doing just that by opening their hearts and doors to undocumented and mixed status families.
With 1,100 people being deported each day, we cannot stand by and wait for Congress to act so people of faith are committing themselves to stand in solidarity with the immigrant community and are joining in the chorus of voices across our nation calling out, "not one more!"
Last Thursday, ICE officials stated they won't actively seek Neyoy Ruiz's deportation but that doesn't mean he is able to safely return home as a minor traffic stop could result in him being torn away from the family he loves so much.
Though much has changed in our nation since we first opened our doors as a sanctuary for refugees fleeing civil wars in Central America during the 1980s, much has stayed the same.
The war against the poor and the undocumented rages on. God continues to call the church to be faithful to its commands to welcome the foreigner, to love our neighbors as ourselves, to do justice, love kindness and walk humbly with God.
Faithful to that call, we have once again opened our doors but more importantly our hearts to the Neyoy Ruiz family. We know sanctuary is not just about finding refuge within the walls of a church; it is about finding shelter in the love and support of a community. Until immigration officials close Neyoy Ruiz's deportation case, he will remain within the sanctuary of our church and within the loving shelter of the community.

OTTAWA/TORONTO (Reuters) - Canada's annual inflation rate edged up to a 28-month high in June, the second month in a row it has exceeded the Bank of Canada's target, posing a challenge to the central bank's view that recent strength in prices is temporary.
Annual inflation rose to 2.4 percent last month, Statistics Canada said on Friday, the highest rate since the 2.6 percent seen in February 2012. It also surpassed forecasts for inflation to hold at May's 2.3 percent level.
The Bank of Canada's closely watched core inflation rate, which strips out the prices of some volatile items, increased to 1.8 percent from 1.7 percent the month before, making it the highest since June 2012.
The increase comes just two days after the Bank of Canada - which has long fretted about the risks of low inflation - said the recent surge is temporary and forecast that the overall inflation rate will drop below the bank's 2.0 percent target next year.
The rise in inflation, combined with separate data that showed surprisingly strong wholesale sales in May, pushed the Canadian dollar to a one-week high. [CAD/]
The reports will further dampen any concern the Bank of Canada has about inflation being too low, said Doug Porter, chief economist at BMO Capital Markets in Toronto.
"In fact, if anything it casts a shadow of a doubt on just how transitory this runup in inflation actually is," Porter said. "It doesn't look that transitory to me, it seems, if anything, to be sticking."
Still, analysts do not expect the report to alter the Bank of Canada's view for now.
"Near-term price gain should ultimately be seen as transitory, just given that the broader growth outlook is somewhat softer than expected," said Ian Pollick, fixed income strategist at RBC Capital Markets in Toronto. "Economic slack should, at some point, absorb some of this near-term strength."
The central bank has kept its key interest rate frozen at a near record low 1.0 percent since September 2010 and says it will not consider a hike until inflation picks up and the sputtering economy recovers.
Rising prices for shelter, food and transportation were largely responsible for the increase in the annual inflation rate. Prices for shelter and food both rose by 2.9 percent from a year earlier.
A separate report from Statistics Canada showed wholesale sales jumped by an unexpectedly high 2.2 percent in May to a record C$52.58 billion ($49.14 billion). April's month-on-month gain was revised up to 1.4 percent from an initial 1.2 percent.
The motor vehicles and parts subsector rose 9.8 percent in May, accounting for most of the overall gain. [ID:nL2N0PS22J]

It is a common misunderstanding that everybody in colonial America was a die hard revolutionary. Our current ideals and our notion of the enlightenment have gotten in the way of a true assessment of what the real mindset was during the late 18th century. Just like today it was a full of division and everybody had their own perspective on the issue. Since the Enlightenment there were always equally strong powers of thought at odds with each other. By the time of the American Revolution not everybody on American soil was against the crown and not everybody in Britain was a royalist. Two thinkers (though they were not in the same periods) during this time, who were not necessarily polar opposites, but certain contenders were John Locke and Edmund Burke. They would not have hated each other, but they did differ greatly in ideas and solutions. What made them different? Who was more influential? What long terms affects did they have? John Locke was a rights of man advocate, a devoted enlightenment thinker and a huge influence on modern liberalism and libertarians. Edmund Burke was a conservative whig and an enemy of the French Revolution. They both shared various thoughts but arrived at severely different conclusions. The question: What were these men in relation to their times, the American Revolution and how are we affected by them today?
John Locke was born August 29, 1632 and began attending Christ Church College in Oxford in 1652. During this time Cromwell was Chancellor; this was a time of great tension and political thoughts piercing every young man's mind. While at Oxford Locke became more intrigued with political questions. He attacked the subjects like the social constitution, separation of church and state and religious toleration; this of course was a huge topic post reformation. Locke would later be accidentally pulled into the political world by accident through a friendship with Lord Ashley. By 1672 he obtained the title of "secretary of presentations" all of this coming down to a perfect storm of powers, ideology and ambitions. Edmund Burke came much later in history and may be described as more intellectually reserved. Burke was born January 12, 1729 which would make him just in time to be an adult for the revolutionary war. He received his education at Trinity College, Dublin and then to Middle Temple, London to study for the Bar. But he didn't see a career in law as all that attractive so he found himself in Parliament. By this time he already wrote some of his popular pieces such as A Vindication of Natural Society and An Abridgement of English History. He became well known for his many speeches in Parliament which he would later publish. And so these two men would prove themselves and backgrounds to their contemporaries, governments, Kings, and future readers to decide who it was that argued or pandered better to our personal interests. John Locke as the enlightened scientist of human nature or Edmund Burke as the level headed historian and political theorist. The comparison will only tell.
John Locke lived for the bulk of the 17th century where in he lived to see many failed attempts at colonization in the Americas. So he was given a lot material to argue against and to form his own ideas. He also came into a world where the enlightenment was winning the hearts and minds of common folk everywhere. Usually, when we think of enlightenment thinkers we go straight to Rousseau or Voltaire, but what often goes unnoticed is that these men venerated Locke. They went as far to say that Locke was the "greatest of all philosophers since Plato". Though we cannot be sure of his influence, because correlation does not imply causality, it is reasonable to believe that Locke paved the way for his foreign successors. Then again it is said by Howard R. Penniman in his introduction to some of Locke's writings that "His name would have been relegated to the footnotes of English history books if his fame had depended merely upon his varied activities in politics and science" (Penniman 5). Who were his opponents? It is easily imagined those who were in positions of power, found Locke detestable. Cardinal Newman in his presentation On the Idea of a University attacked Locke. Newman proposed a more classical design for the education system while Locke was a believer in modern schools. But what was His relation towards America? Interestingly, he was not hugely involved with American affairs. There are only two businesses that may be pointed out. First, he was an investor in the slave trade with the Royal African Company; this is a fact that has made his present day followers uneasy. Second, he was a contributor in drafting up Carolina's Constitution which puts another black mark on his resume, because he gave absolute power to slave owners over their slaves. Locke has been accused of hypocrisy, but one must consider the conditions. Slavery was the game of the day and his theories on toleration were not developed for everyone, but for natural citizens being white males. He would not have been embarrassed by this contradiction, because he was not arguing the same conditions that modern day thinkers do. Locke minded the enslavement of English citizens, but he had no problem with enslaving anybody else.
Burke, of course, was just in time for the American Revolution. The world that he grew up in was a magnificent one. England had been dominating the surrounding inhabitants whether it was the Indians or the French. The prosperity was great and the influence was lasting, but this later became a criticism that the royalists would have against the revolutionaries. Burke during this time refined his ideas in England and as mentioned before, got a reputation as a clear and rational thinker. The prosperous age he lived in could be credited as what got him thinking in different terms from Locke. Burke did not posture that he knew the metaphysics of man, nor did he claim that they had any rights. Rather he would say the opposite that man is not born with any inherent rights. He was not met with much opposition other than difficulties with King George III. It would be him and William Pitt that would support the repeal of the Stamp Act that greatly ruffled the feathers of the American colonists.
Mere definition can help tell of the differences between Locke's and Burke's life experiences. Locke was an ideologue, hence we get the term "Lockian". Burke was a simple statesman philosopher. The difference in influence is clear: Locke had a much easier time. All that Locke had to do was feed a problem through the enlightenment equation and that would provide him a solution. He gained popularity because he agreed with the tide of the times. He says in A Letter Concerning Toleration, "The commonwealth seems to me to be a society of men constituted only for the procuring, preserving, and advancing their own civil interests. Civil interests I call life, liberty, health, and indolency of body . . ." (Locke 25). These things became very important to the proletariat, very likely on the inspiration of Locke. Burke had a tougher audience. Just before the American Revolution there was plenty of pride to be English and a member of the British Empire. Some of this hung on during the war creating a divide of royalists, rebels and neutrals. Burke being well bred and quite wealthy wouldn't want to wage too harshly against the governing officials. In his speech titled Conciliation with the Colonies he is constantly referring to how we ought to govern the colonies. He says, "In this state of things, I make no difficulty in affirming that the proposal ought to originate from us" (Burke 10). Soon after he gives two leading questions saying, "First, whether you ought to concede; secondly, what your concession ought to be" (Burke 10). All this is being said to Parliament, and not to American rebels. But the biggest proof for Burke's non-ideologue nature is in this quote: "We must govern America according to that nature and to those circumstances, and not according to our own imaginations, nor according to abstract ideas of right – by no means according to mere general theories of government" (Burke 11). Burke is very Pauline in thought and in tone here imploring the decision makers to be rational in the specific circumstance. Sadly, his influence was not significant enough when the British government went against his warnings that "the use of force alone is but temporary" and "a nation is not governed which is perpetually to be conquered" (Burke 23). Burke's overall desire was to make Britain a "true friend" of America. F. P. Lock points this out in his biography of Edmund Burke saying "This is what Burke meant by being a 'true friend' of America. 'Misunderstandings and heats' had arisen, in his view, because on neither side of the Atlantic had sufficient heed been paid to the opinions of 'temperate men'" (Lock 350). Burke knew the difficulty of his position which is why he did not want to be identified as part of the Rockingham Party; they were the temperate men. F. P. Lock points out that "Burkes querulousness was aggravated by anxiety about his own position . . . . for he wanted, if possible, to maintain his independence" (Lock 369)
Locke's mindset was much more adopted by the rebels than any other. The inherent rights of man were bouncing around the minds of all fighters who felt suppressed as. In The Second Treatise on Civil Government he explicitly suggests at the start that rulers do have a right to their citizens. He says, "Adam had not, either by natural right of fatherhood or by positive donation from God, any such authority over his children, nor dominion over the world, as is pretended" (Locke 75). This suggestion gives a metaphysical argument for rebellion and revolution; Locke attempts to put to rest the concept of Divine right of Kings. Even though the idea of a monarchy was wholly repugnant to the Americans, but their decision to have a presidency was definitely based on the difficulty to have checks and balances on kings. John Locke only heightened the concern by pointing out how easily it would be for a king to think he had a God given position. Locke was clearly more referenced in the continental congresses. Some parts of Locke were directly copied into the Declaration of Independence, using the exact phraseology of the Second Treatise (Penniman 9). Thomas Jefferson was an avid reader of Locke. Jefferson used what was originally termed as certain unalienable rights invented by Locke; these were Life, Liberty and Property which Jefferson changed to the pursuit of happiness. In all reality, America was built on Locke's principles. Burke, for all of his supplications to the Parliament, could not break through to the American mind set and he was there in the thick of it. He suggested all kinds of ways for the British to get along with the colonists, but it went against the Scots-Irish mentality to fight to get your way.
Over the years America has been shaped into perhaps a mixture of both men and their approach. In popular media we see an attempt to introduce Burke's method of governing. It is supposed to be calm, cool and collected. Force is only to be considered as a last ditch effort and should not be considered permanent. We are always promoting civility and it was a serious problem for us when Joe Wilson shouted "you lie" at President Obama. He had to apologize, but in comparison to other government' congresses they would see this as business as usual. Observe a session of Parliament and you can see not only the wit but the ruthless accusations towards a person's intellect. Burke wanted also wanted to do away with theories of government especially for the crucial questions. Today we might call it "working together" or "bi-partisanship". Burke may have inspired the public face of America, but to what avail? The populus at every turn will provide a life or death argument on how to govern a nation. Sects develop in the citizenry. Some preach violence and others violently preach non-violence. Why are these sects today? Everyone has interpreted Lockian philosophy differently. What one man who grew up in California considers to be "inalienable rights" will be a farce to whatever a South Carolinian thinks "inalienable rights" are. It has become so confused and muddled from debate over the past centuries that former enemies have eventually found common ground. As mentioned before, Locke is the father of Liberalism and Libertarianism; this manifests itself when they both agree that Marijuana should be legalized. Suddenly, Ron Paul does not seem like such a bad candidate for Liberals. But the big questions are left unanswered. Is health care a right? Is education a right? Are jobs a right? What would John Locke say to this? Edmund Burke would not be the person to ask since he pleads ignorance when he says, "The rights of men are in a sort of middle, incapable of definition . . ." (gmu.edu). Also, he does make suppositions in other works as to whether or not these rights are inherent and makes a resounding "no". Burke is very unappealing for any modern American. Locke might have pandered to these desires, though we cannot know what he would have said.Overall, John Locke with all of his enlightened sensibilities shall be crowned most influential. Even for Burke's valuable mind and ideas was too uninspiring to lead a nation's spirit. Burke was concerned with the status quo. Locke had posthumously gathered the minds of white land owning men all over the colonies and sparked an empire's government and its history. America was born out of rebellion and Locke gave a distant nod of approval.

Here at Celestial Bay Winery, we believe in a commitment to provide quality wine that reflects our family's passion for making it!
Situated in the famous South West region of Western Australia, our winery encompasses an idyllic coastal setting situated halfway between the renowned Margaret River and beautiful Busselton.
The area is nationally and internationally recognised for producing some of the finest wines in the world, with Celestial Bay's wines being no exception. It now exports to 5 countries, selling wine across Australia and regularly receives awards within Australia and internationally.
As a family, we are very proud of our product, and hope that you enjoy tasting our fantastic wines as much as we enjoy making them!
How it all began
Our passion for perfection started with an ambition to create beautiful wine to be distributed for the enjoyment of others throughout Australia and eventually, internationally. In 2000, our owners Michael & Kim O'Brien chose Margaret River as the place in which to establish Celestial Bay, and after eventually purchasing 210 acres, turned their dream into a reality.
Although it was not all smooth sailing, a little blood, sweat and red wine was all they needed for motivation, and today Celestial Bay is operated based on core family values that allow us to flourish and remain a respected name in the wine industry.
Our family values
Having firmly planted themselves in Margaret River, and creating a brand that is synonymous with quality wine, Michael and Kim are proud to say that their quest for a "great drop" has been passed down the vine to their eldest son Aaron, who resides on the property.
With the winery being his life passion, Aaron has also completed a bachelor of science in viticulture and oenology and after working at various vineyards far and wide, brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the cellar.
Over the past two years Aaron as manager has continued to reflect the family values instilled in him, and as a result, helped transform Celestial Bay Wines into a consistently performing quality vineyard.
Our present success
After starting as just a "little winery down south", Celestial Bay and its friendly staff are proud to say it is both nationally and internationally recognised as a superb winery that selects only the most perfect grapes to be turned into quality wine.
To be acknowledged on an international stage is an incredible accomplishment and is a testament to the O'Brien family's passion for the process. It regularly receives accolades and awards and is currently exporting to 5 countries worldwide including the USA, China and Japan. To this day, Celestial Bay Winery is committed to distributing quality and contemporary wine throughout the world.
Join us and experience our passion for perfection in every bottle!
