How's that for a change of pace around here? A post about the "Motor City Madman" by the only German that doesn't even have a driver's license?
As is always the case around here, the memory tag is securely attached to this double-LP, which I invested a whole summer's earnings into.
If you have at all been reading along here on a regular basis, you know that the story is never as simple as that. It's not one of shelling out hard-earned shillings for a double-LP.
It's a lot more than that.
Try to bear with me.
For starters, a disclaimer: I do not need to be made aware of the fact that Ted Nugent is not only a nutcase musically, but especially one that is also all over the map in regard to verbally assaulting anyone he doesn't like, personally or politically, one that is so extreme in some/many of his opinions that I myself am quite sure that I would be unable to spend more than 30 seconds in the same room with him when things turn to politics in general, gun control, hunting, and other issues in particular. I do not at all agree with him on any of his constantly trumpeted issues and the older I get, the more I strongly dislike anything that comes out when he opens his mouth. As most of us are fortunate enough to live in somewhat democratically organized systems, we are also allowed to dislike what people say while enjoying other things they do, and, for me, Ted Nugent is a nausea-inducing fellow when I have to read or listen to what he has to say.
But, there's that other side to the guy, the side that made me seek him out live at the peak of his career (which I would place flatly somewhere around the end-70s, even though he did produce a number of good tunes since then … and continues to do so until today), the one that made me bang my head and pump some serious adrenaline. The side that screamed "Raw! Power!" and the one that instantly screamed "Berserker" the second the needle hit the groove of any of his LPs of that time. Live, he was one wild MF (and, I guess, he still is), one which was all show AND attitude and one that could get an audience's blood pumping with three power chords. What really fascinated me about Nugent at the time was that despite is comparatively limited abilities, he was one musician who made sure to get the most out of those, with a super-huge ego that landed wherever he touched ground.
It was the first summer in which I initially regretted having to go on summer holidays. Every single year before that, because I had basically hated school as long as I could remember, I started the summer holiday (indeed, any holiday) countdown approximately 12 months before the actual event.
In 1978, things were different.
The year before we had moved from Germany to Copenhagen, Denmark, and I had just completed my first school year at the Copenhagen International Junior School … which was also my last one there because after that summer I was going to move my sorry butt about 30 meters across a courtyard into the Copenhagen International Senior School.
That first year in Denmark brought with it a myriad of new impressions but, mostly, also a fundamental change in my life. In retrospect, that change was more fundamental than any other in my life and to this day I often joke about the rest of my life having been very boring because, well, nothing ever came close to those 12 months which turned me from a loser into a winner. Sounds corny, but that was it really, in a nutshell.
After a mere 12 months abroad, I had turned from someone who despised school, teachers, learning and everything else connected with that environment into someone who was actually beginning to – dare I say it – enjoy it.
Two factors turned me completely around from a future possible delinquent into a somewhat sane and "normal" person: Teachers and new friends.
The first group is the surprising one, especially taking my former experiences into consideration. I was suddenly confronted with a whole slew of teachers who were actually interested in making sure that I learned something. People who were enthusiastic about what they were doing, people who cared and who didn't see teaching as merely another job (which ended either at 1 o'clock or 4 o'clock in the afternoon). Sure, I was privileged as this was a private school and a larger amount of money – I presume – was invested into getting decent teachers to the school, but at the time I never once had the impression that we were a privileged group. But, more about that at a later time, perhaps.
It didn't take me long to figure out that we weren't allowed to say "sh*t" … but used *shoot!" To this day it's probably the funniest exchange I've ever had with a teacher, especially because I thought she had misunderstood what I had said and repeated it about 5 times until I figured out that her five "Shoot?" replies were supposed to teach me something.
What really threw me then was when Mr. Atkinson, our social studies teacher, who represented subjects I had abhorred shortly before, one day turned to me and threw a single line at me as a response to some antics I was displaying: "Don't be an asshole AND don't act like you're dumb." He then pointed at my forehead and said: "There's a lot more in there than you could possible cover up with your stupid attitude. Grow up!"
No matter how often I reflect on my youth today, and with increasing age one tends to do that more frequently, this – to outsiders – corny and stupid moment threw a switch in my head.
I'm not going to expand on all of it, but it was the first time that anyone had successfully broken through some rather impenetrable defenses and had told me a) that I was acting like an ass and b) might perhaps not be that dumb.
In retrospect, Mr. Atkinson was the first of the larger number of teachers at that school who not only hammered that notion home but also planted my later wish to become a teacher, simply because I had learned that small things could help a person along on the long path to learning and growing up.
So, after one year I was beginning to feel a lot more secure with myself and my surroundings, also because of the comparatively huge group of new friends I had found, all tightly-knit together by a common situation, that of being removed from former homes and experiencing what it was like to be a foreigner in a more or less strange new country.
We boarded the train one afternoon at Copenhagen Central Station after I had said goodbye to some friends who were going to move on to other countries and fortunes that summer and who I would never see again. I remember traveling in a huge compartment (actually two that my dad had reserved for us and which could be turned into a larger one with beds and all by removing a dividing wall), traveling in style for a whole day and night, from Copenhagen to Davos, Switzerland. It was a sad trip for me because for the first time I would have liked to spend some more time that summer with good friends I had found and was not going to see again.
I don't know when that tradition had developed, but whenever my family had been on holiday together (which was rare enough as my dad had to work most summers through), one or more of the children were responsible for getting bread in the mornings. That meant walking shorter or longer distances to the next bakery and filling the various orders from various family members, usually returning to the holiday abode with a huge paper bag of freshly-baked bread rolls and whatnot.
And here comes the good bit.
Wait for it.
My dad paid us for that "work".
Money, a book here or there, an ice-cream later in the day. Reimbursement varied, but we usually got something for walking across fields, down long roads and traversing the boonies to get … fresh bread. Of course, we didn't say that we would have done it without getting paid.
That summer was also different because I was the only one "available" for that chore. My younger brother wasn't too healthy around that time and my older brother, who himself had grown-up rapidly in Denmark and had money of his own, didn't need any cash, apparently.
So, every morning – from the first day of the holidays until the last – I walked to a bakery relatively far away and, upon my return, cashed in on a relatively small amount of money. It was symbolic, really, and not comparable to what I got in form of pocket money, but at the end of the holidays it had added up to over 20 Swiss Francs.
The first week in Davos, we took a walk down "Main Street" which cut right across Davos and which itself stretched for quite some time at the foot of some impressive mountains, effectively cutting the city into two long halves.
My instincts pulled me into the only central record store on that first walk. I cannot remember if my family was impatient again, as was customary when their weird son started flipping through long rows of LPs; all I remember is that I came across "Double Live Gonzo!" by Ted Nugent and decided to give it a listen.
Mostly forgotten and relegated to the sidelines of history, exclusive LP shops like the one I found myself in that day used to have more or less decent equipment, allowing customers to sample the wares. You had to walk up to the counter, perhaps wait until other people were finished listening to whatever they were checking out, hand the LP over to a sales person and wait for it to be placed on the record player. It would be ceremoniously slid out of an inner sleeve, placed on the platter, cleaned and … played.
Although there have certainly been a million more important memories since then, for some reason I remember that the shop had four Thorens record players and, most importantly to this fan of the company, KOSS headphones to isolate the listener's preferences from the rest of the customers.
So, on the first of two LPs went and on came "Just What the Doctor Ordered."
To be quite honest, the first 47 seconds of band wanking almost made me take off the headphones and give this double-LP a pass, especially because upon first listen I could already tell that the sound quality wasn't the hottest (to say the least), but for some reason or another I sat it out.
And then came the singer's drawn-out "Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh baby, oh baby …", the crowd erupting into thunderous applause … and … I was hooked.
The sound was still crappy, but that wall of energy just hit me square between the ears. Although the rest of the family was (probably) beginning to get seriously impatient, I squeezed another few minutes out of them by varying my face expression from annoyed to insistent, and after that opening tune and the second serious smoker, "Yank Me, Crank Me … But Don't Wake Up and Thank Me" (yes, Ted Nugent has always been a true poet of rock), I decided that I had to get that double-LP.
On the last day of those holidays in Switzerland I had to virtually run to that record shop to pick up the LP – which was thankfully still there – and run home in order not to be left behind, and all throughout the return journey for another day and night, I was looking forward to hearing the rest of the recording. See, I had never had the chance to hear the other 9 tracks.
So, when we finally got back to DK I ran up to my room, as was customary, fired up my stereo and proceeded to blast all four sides of "Double Live Gonzo! across the entire neighborhood. I can't recall if I was reprimanded for not helping carry in suitcases, unpacking, and coming late to lunch, but I listened to all the tracks once, a few of them at least twice and despite the continuing shitty sound on my own stereo, the weird pinkish/reddish flip-cover with Ted Nugent holding his head went up on my wall with a lot of other record covers and stayed on or near my stereo … until I got rid of any record player at my place 10 years later.
I think I've said it several times before. The sound on that LP sucked, any CD version thereafter sucked and any future release will also suck. I don't think that remastering engineers of the highest acclaim can get any more out of that comparatively bland sound soup (it's lacking that punch needed for a recording like that), but with Nugent that isn't really called for either. This is neither audiophile music nor will it ever be a hit with more analytically inclined people around the globe. I would even go as far as saying that you absolutely have to automatically reduce your IQ points by 50 percent if you want to really enjoy this stuff, and you should only play this LP to that crowd that still has its jeans jackets with band patches stowed away in a secure location. You know, the people who like to get down and boogie.
Hell, today I can't really explain why I love that LP aside from having all those memories attached and being a person who occasionally experiences serious relapses into a youth long gone.
Whenever I put that double-LP on, which I still do frequently today, I can still smell that summer of '78.
And with that smell come a myriad of memories and emotions.
Good ones.
Isn't that what music is all about?

That's exactly what music is all about! It's all about the memories and how the music shapes who you are.
I've had the pleasure of seeing Ted 7 times since '86 (all as an opening act) and he has been spectacular each time. When I saw him open for Aerosmith (Done With Mirrors Tour) in '86 all I remember is this crazy guitar player jumping off his amps, over the drums, and running to the mic and screaming into it. I was 13 at my first concert and I thought my ears were going to pop! Ever since I've been a Ted fan.
Heavy Metal Addiction
I have "Cat Scratch Fever" LP in my college days in 77 (?) Disgusting photo of Ted with his guitar on the jacket. I was into Fleetwood Mac/Eagles/Neil Young/Blue Oyster Cult in those days but Crazy Ted can really play loud and wide.
I saw Ted twice around that time. Seems like the first time was the 'Cat Scratch Fever' tour and the second was the 'Double Live Gonzo' tour. If Spinal Tap were famous for having amps that went to eleven, then Ted's must have gone up to 30!!! I saw a lot of loud rock bands during that era, but Ted's shows were the only ones I remember that took 2 full days for the ringing in your ears to stop.
Shitty sounding live recording? Duh? As freakin' loud as it was, I would suggest buffering the microphones through about 3 feet of concrete or just setting up the recording unit a half mile away.
Not sure why someone would use this forum to make a jab at Neil Young, but no matter how many of Mel Bay's rules he breaks, I love his music too. BOC? Another of my favorites. Maybe it's just me, but I think the people who still bring up "cowbell" when Blue Oyster Cult are mentioned are the same idiots that yell "it's-in-the-hole" at golf tournaments.
[…] Not sure why someone would use this forum to make a jab at Neil Young […]
It's mine.
That's why.
Seriously though, I have never understood Young's appeal. I tried time and again and gave up. Different strokes for different folks, and all of that.
That cowbell sketch probably ruined any possibility of convincing people that BOC was/is actually a great band. Whenever I mention the band to anyone who has more than fleeting interest in music, "More cowbell" is the first line that comes up.
In addition: Ted Nugent certainly wasn't the only guy who played at an extreme volume level (think Motorhead, f.ex.). The difference is that there are actually others who have much better-sounding live recordings. This one here, as much as I love it, sounds like an amateur recording at times.

With this week's news that "American Idol" season 11 finalists Jessica Sanchez and DeAndre Brackensick made a love connection on the summer tour, comes word that another "Idol" alum is officially off the market.
Season 9 winner Lee DeWyze [1] said "I do" to his girlfriend of two years, Jonna Walsh, in an intimate ceremony Saturday afternoon (July 21). The couple exchanged Tiffany's bands in Camarillo, Calif., surrounded by 100 guests, according to People [2]. Walsh, a model and actress, wore a Lili Bridal strapless lace gown, which initially left her groom speechless. Instead, DeWyze tweeted [3] a simple smiley face. Later that night, the singer found the right words, writing, "Beautiful wedding, beautiful girl, just beautiful :) WERE MARRIED!"
DeWyze serenaded Walsh with a song written just for her, titled "Who Would Have Known," which will appear on his next album. The couple met in October 2010, when DeWyze hand-picked Walsh to co-star as his love interest in the video for "Sweet Serendipity." You could say they've been making beautiful music together ever since.
The newly minted Mr. and Mrs. DeWyze are set to honeymoon in Bali.

I'm not sure how your summer's been going but we haven't experienced very much typical summer weather (yet). Today was literally a 'wash' along with temperatures that didn't hit 60F (14C). Yesterday afternoon we scrambled to get the bbq'ing done before we were hit with another thunderstorm. I resumed my LR editing after dinner until I suddenly noticed a bright glow out the window. In the blink of an eye the sun had burst out from behind a bank of dark clouds and cast a brilliant light on the yard. Of course yours truly rushed out to watch the spectacle (not sans camera).
The brilliance lasted mere moments and then our world darkened once more. But a couple of hours later an eye in the sky opened as the sun set and the Master produced another of his master pieces for our viewing pleasure.

The current U.S. Social Security Disability Income system (SSDI) grants benefits for those who cannot continue to earn an income through employment, due to chronic or terminal illnesses they may develop, that disables them physically or mentally. This is certainly a wonderful thing and it has saved many of its recipients from losing their homes and reasonable quality of life for their families and even from losing their lives early, by providing opportunity for continued medical care that would otherwise be impossible for them to obtain.
With this said, there are also those policies practiced or enforced by the social security disability program for example that cause deserving applicants to be denied (the main subject of this audiobook) and in some cases, less-deserving or undeserving applicants to be accepted by the same benefits program. I wish to point out some of these policies, within the chapters of this audiobook but I endeavor to do so, without appearing to be casting dispersions on the SSDI system as a whole, which is a wonderful program and a privilege for disabled citizens.
I sincerely believe it is extremely important for legitimately disabled Americans to be cared for in a country that takes pride in helping those who are less-fortunate - not those who are looking for a free ride or for a chance to scam the system but who are truly and sincerely in need.
It is my sincere hope that the words I offer in this audiobook, contain proper perspective and that nothing contained herein, is perceived as unnecessary ranting on my part but that my thoughts will rather add some intelligent, logical perspective to this very difficult subject.

I teach Conservation Biology, Natural Resources Management and Mammalogy at the Biology Department of the University of Évora and I'm in charge of the Department Conservation Biology Lab since 2003.
My research area ranges between "Applied Population and Community Ecology" and "Landscape Ecology" and in the last five years my main interests have been focused on two main topics:
(1) Effects of roads on wildlife, including description of road-kills patterns and determination of main landscape features associated with fatality hotspots; quantification of road barrier effect for species with different vagility.
(2) Effects land use changes and habitat fragmentation on landscape functional connectivity and implications for long-term population persistence.
I've studied different species and communities, but my main targets have been mammals. I've dedicated a large part of my research to the study of voles, including the Cabrera vole, an endangered species, endemic from the Iberian Peninsula, for which the knowledge of the basic ecological requirements are still needed in order to reverse the actual population declining.

Ice formation in cold climates can present problems including structural damage to moored boats, floating barges and dredges, dams, pilings, docks, and breakwaters.
The primary mechanism for effective ice melting in a body of water is to mix slightly warmer, denser water from the bottom of the pond to the underside of the ice layer at the surface. This circulation or thermal de-stratification is achieved using either LINEAR or MAT fine bubble aeration.
In large ponds or lakes that have a significant bottom area, heat from the bottom soil is transferred into the water on a continuous basis. The aeration diffusers change the warm water density by introducing air into the water. This reduction in density combined with the pumping action of the bubbles produces optimum warm water circulation and subsequent ice melting.
In small or shallow water bodies, mixing creates full destratification and results in equalized temperatures throughout the body of water. Water and air scouring continues to reduce ice even after destratification occurs. This scouring action reduces the structural strength of the ice minimizing the potential of damage caused by ice pressure.
Ice melting with the LINEAR aeration system is extremely effective. Given sufficient water depth and volume, ice reduction rates of 1" per hour of operation are typically observed even at ambient temperatures of -30°C.

Welcome to May in Córdoba!
This is truly the month Córdoba shines and shows off. It began with Cruces, which is when the town decorates with floral crosses and the whole city turns in to a Sevillana dancing botellón.
Now, it's time for the Festival of the Courtyards.
Part of UNESCOs Intangible Cultural Heritage List, patios, or the inner courtyards from which the apartments and houses lead on to, are decorated ornately with terracotta pots filled with brightly coloured flowers. Some have wine and barbecues while others have guitar players and traditional singers.
Patios which are usually kept private are opened to the public for a city wide competition to see who can decorate the most beautiful courtyard. The whole atmosphere is energetic with people from all over the world flooding to Córdoba to witness the scenes that end up as paintings. So picturesque and perfect you'd think it was some Hollywood director's idealised dream, you can't help but feel privileged to partake.
This is the best of Córdoba.

One of my friends narrated this story about the recent issue that he faced with the OCI Card ( Overseas Citizen of India) with his kids.
Binod and Kumkum De are both naturalized citizen of United States of America. They came to United States a decade ago. Binod got a decent paying job as he had PhD in chemical Engineering which eventually led him earn the green card in EB1 category, due to his exceptional caliber ( Ha has numerous patents in his name in US). He eventually received the US Citizenship on the completion of the 5 years of stay with the green card.
They finally applied for the OCI Cards for themselves, as, it was required for the travel to India. It was slightly more expensive than the PIO Card, but they did not mind it – as OCI was potentially a "stronger document" than its younger sibling PIO ( Person of Indian Origin).
Binod also has two kids and they are the born citizens of US. They carry US passport which is issued with a validity of 5 years and is required to be renewed every 5 years. The renewal process takes 3 week under normal circumstances but there is expedited service available if required. Binod applied the argument of having the "Stronger Document" – the OCI card in place of the PIO Card. He also receive one and things were going on well till he had to go to India in the summer. He realized that the OCI Card is no longer valid as the validity of the US passport for the corresponding period expired. He had applied for the extension of the US Passport which came to him just before he had to depart to India. The problem – the OCI card was no longer valid with the new passport. He had to get his OCI card renewed. And the Indian Consulate in New York said that it will take 40 days for the extension of the OCI Card.
PIO Cards do not have such problems. They are valid even after the expiry and renewal of the older US passports. PIO Cards are therefore a better options for kids till they reach age of 20 years. Once you are 20 years old, it OCI card may be equally good ( may be better) option.
The short story is – Do not apply for the OCI Cards for your kids. Apply for the PIO cards for them. PIO is cheaper, does not require renewals on the expiry of the US Passport.

From time to time here on Builder.com, we like to run in-depth case studies on different technologies to give you an idea of what others in the industry are doing with them. We've already published a couple (read on for the links), but we wanted your input on topics for future studies. So in a recent Builder.com Home Page poll, we asked, "What kind of technology case studies would you like most to see?"
As you can tell from the results shown in Figure A, the winner, by a somewhat narrow margin, was .NET, with J2EE and XML also getting a lot of attention.

I have for sale an American Standard Telecaster. It's a fantastic guitar, but I just need the money worse than I do the guitar. It has upgraded pickups and an upgraded compensated nut. Comes in the original hard shell case. The guitar is in excellent condition...other than a paint chip/ding on the horn. See picture below. This is a beautiful playing/sounding/looking tele!
Also, I'm throwing in a brand new Bigsby B5 and a Vibramate mounting plate. I bought them for this guitar. If you're not familiar with the Vibramate, it's a plate that lets you add a bigsby to a tele without drilling holes into the guitar. It's a fantastic tool...and in my opinion, there is nothing cooler than a tele with a bigsby. I'm asking $850 for the whole deal.

This hotel is not as flash as they try to market it as (or charge for!), in fact the only thing that it has going for it is it's geographical location to the strip.
The Hotel has only 2 rooms with balcony's and these are the top priced suites, the other rooms don't even have opening windows. There is the constant twang of moldy aircon in the air and various noises from restaurant fans that must pass by nearby walls.
If I was to come to this area again I would maybe book into one of the hacienda style hotels a few doors down that look a lot more worth the money, or failing that rent a house in the nearby playacar and taxi in (2 mins).
The rooms are in disrepair, one of the suites I was in had cheap laminate repaired with even cheaper mastic.
To top off my bad experience of this hotel, they have some noddy system with towels and towel cards, I brought my own and used this for the whole duration of my holiday but still got charged £25 for a towel I didn't use once because of the stupid "system".
Poor quality rooms, Poor value for money, Poor holiday experience.

The Lewisville City Council will consider a 1.5 percent increase in water rates as part of its 2013-14 proposed budget.
The rate hike will cover an increase in water costs from the Dallas Water Utilities.
Residents can give input on that item, along with the entire budget, at public hearings Aug. 19 and Sept. 9 in the Council Chambers of Lewisville City Hall, 151 W. Church St.
Customers would see an increase of 20 cents for the first 2,000 gallons of water used month and 4 cents for each additional 1,000 gallons if the budget passes.
According to city figures, the cost would be less than 50 cents per month for the average residential customer.
Lewisville enacted Stage 2 mandatory water restrictions this summer, limiting watering to twice weekly for residential users through Aug. 31.
The entire proposed budget is available for review at bit.ly/LewBudg.

Lay3rs delivers high quality filament some carefully selected and tested for the most popular desktop 3D printers like Ultimaker, Builder and even the 3dprinterpen. We have all kinds of stock and can deliver directly, both in our shop on the Grote Berg 60 in Eindhoven or via the web shop you can buy the best filament. An overview of our products:
- PLA(Poly Lactic Acid) is a thermoplastic which is extruded from the starch of plants such as maize, cassava, sugar cane, corn or sugar beet. Because PLA is derived from biological sources, it is biodegradable. PLA, therefore, has a much lesser environmental impact than thermoplastics from fossil fuels. PLA is a powerful, user-friendly Premium PLA filament, ideal for 3D printing. The filament is somewhat modified, making it the typical Characteristics of PLA reserves, but is even stronger and less brittle.
- ABS(acrylonitril butadiene styrene) is a thermoplastic, such as its name implies, is produced from the polymerization of acrylonitrile, butadiene and styrene. ABS is made from fossil fuels, which means that it is not biodegradable and has a greater environmental impact than PLA, for example. ABS is an extra strong impact resistant filament, ideal for 3D printing of solid objects.
- PVA filament is rapidly soluble in water, has good adhesion to plastics and prints easily. Therefore, it is an excellent support material for 3d printing with a dual-extruder.
- TPC FLEX 45 is a very flexible filament for 3D printing in place of rubber. The combination of flexibility, mechanical strength, durability, and good resistance against chemicals and high temperatures makes it a unique filament.
- TPC FLEX 65 is a semi-flexible filament for 3D printing. It is easy to knot as filament and the 3D prints are not too robust. The mechanical strength, durability, good resistance to chemicals and high temperatures makes it a unique filament.
At Lay3rs we do have an extra step to protect the environment. Lay3rs filament coils can be handed in to us and you will get a discount when you purchase a new role, for each filament coil you receive 0,25 ct in return return (maximum of 4 coils for each purchased filament). These coils are recycled and then reused in the production of new filament roles. We all want to do something to protect the environment and we believe that 3D printing can reduce the amount of waste in the world.

As root, use "modconf" to select and load the proper driver, then see if you can do "/etc/init.d/networking restart". Kevin

Wisconsin Law Enforcement Memorial, Inc.
The 15th Annual Wisconsin Law Enforcement Officers' Memorial Ceremony will honor two Wisconsin law enforcement heroes on Friday, May 20, 2005. The ceremony, which will begin at noon and is held at the Wisconsin Law Enforcement Officers' Memorial on the State Capitol grounds, will remember and honor Special Agent Jay P. Balchunas of the Wisconsin Dept. of Justice, Division of Criminal Investigation, and Portage County Sheriff Joseph Baker.
On October 29, 2004, Special Agent Balchunas was shot by two suspects who identified him as a law enforcement officer during a street robbery. He lost his valiant fight for survival and died a week later on November 5, 2004. He was the first DCI agent to be killed in the line of duty since the agency's inception.
Portage County Sheriff Joseph Baker was shot in the line of duty on October 11, 1875, while serving eviction papers. Even after being wounded, he stayed on the scene through the ensuing gun battle and negotiations with the suspects. He was moved to a nearby home where he died the next day. Joseph Baker's sacrifice was forgotten for nearly 130 years until recently rediscovered during research of another historical death. Wisconsin Law Enforcement Memorial, Inc. (WLEM) thanks Portage County Sheriff John Charewicz for his diligent work in confirming Sheriff Baker's death.
With the addition of the names of Agent Balchunas and Sheriff Baker, the Memorial will contain the names of 238 Wisconsin law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty. A complete list and short summary of each officer's death can be found on the WLEM web site at www.wlem.com. We at WLEM are dedicated to ensuring that all Wisconsin law enforcement heroes who are killed in the line of duty are remembered and honored, and we are currently working on confirming two other historical deaths. Anyone with information about an officer's death that is not currently listed on the Memorial is encouraged to contact WLEM.
Please plan on joining the Balchunas family, other survivors, law enforcement officers, and friends at the Annual Ceremony on Friday, May 20, 2005. The event will begin with a gathering of squads at Olin Park, followed by a squad procession to the Capitol Square. The ceremony will be held at the Memorial on the corner of Pinckney and Mifflin Streets and will begin at noon. Attendees are invited to a lunch at the Wisconsin Air Guard Armory. Please visit the WLEM web site for details and maps.

AMPA, Inc. History
Over the years as the band program has grown, parents of ACS musicians joined together to volunteer for fundraising, concerts, field trips, competitions and other events. Originally, they called themselves the Akron Band Parents and over time, talked of incorporating and becoming a tax exempt organization. In March 2008, the Akron Music Parents Association, Inc. was formed to support not only band members, but orchestra and chorus members, too. AMPA, Inc. is now a 509(a)(2) public charity with all donations being tax deductible.
AMPA, Inc. helps with many events throughout the school year including:
Providing table and chair rentals, ticket sales, refreshments, decorations, senior and 8th grade recognition, a basket auction and help with set-up and tear down for the Cabaret Concert
Volunteer/chaperone support on trips
Oranizing and running the NYSMMA Festival including arranging homestays, ticket sales, refreshments, hospitality rooms, flower sale, student meals, and the sale of NYSMMA t-shirts
Help with the annual Entertainment Books, Chocolate, Fruit and other sales
The organization also adds the profits from the Coke drink machine located by the band room to their general fund which provides financial support for band functions or the purchase of equipment, including a donation toward the annual band and/or orchestra trip and the purchase of the CHARMS music software.
The Akron Music Parents Association, Inc. encourages all parents of band, chorus or orchestra members to help support their child's efforts as a musician by actively volunteering for AMPA functions.

text: After a long and some would say illustrious career, I have decided to hang up my black hat and say goodbye to making money online. Some of you may have read my posts here and I hope that you found my input useful. The main reason for this change is that (as I see it) unless you have 18 hours a day to spare and a genius idea, you are not going to change or even enhance your lifestyle by trying to make money online. After 5 years of internet marketing and after many thousands of my own money invested I have managed to get to the point where I could just about earn enough to support myself and my family. In the UK this amount needs to be more every day with constantly soaring prices and higher taxes. I've been there, seen it, done it online. £1,000 a week (in the beginning) when I was using adwords were common place, but as goog adwords started to get greedy I saw my profits diminish. I've had offices - even employees - freelancers - the lot. My message here is simple, to anyone even considering quitting the day job and pursuing a career online be very careful and think it through long and hard. Be sure that those weeks when you didn't earn 'that much' are enough to support you financially, as they may become common place. To those nay sayers who will say that you've got to move with the times - I did and worked with 'gurus'. To those reading the posts on here as well - especially noobies - take everything you read here with a large pinch of salt. If you see an idea or product that sounds too good to be true just say to yourself - if it was that easy to make money wouldn't everyone be doing it? So thats my ramble - my last ever. I am off to pastures new rejoining the rat race repairing CNC machines (lathes, milling machines etc) and loving it. Different places every day, different people to meet, the outside world! And a regular income! To those here who have supported me in the past and all members I truly do wish you all the luck and success in the world. jonny110 signing off.

There are degrees of what is incredibly unjust
The no-loans-for-bank-shares rule is something bankers like Whelan and McAteer should know, writes Gene Kerrigan
It's hard to know which is more silly – some of the remarks made by the judge in the Anglo trial, or the widespread gasps of surprise when he declined to jail the guilty bankers. The silly remarks were extremely silly, and the surprise was unwarranted for two reasons.
One: it was always at most 50-50 on whether Pat Whelan and Willie McAteer, alone of all involved, would be sent to jail. And, two: in your heart, knowing what we know about the Irish legal system, did you really expect a banker to go to jail?
The Anglo case in one short paragraph: bloody fool gambles billions on buying bank shares, destabilises bank; bunch of rich men are invited to borrow hundreds of millions from Anglo to stabilise the bank by buying Anglo shares. It's illegal for a bank to lend money to anyone specifically to buy shares in that bank.

EducationJunior English major at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside
ExperienceAs a senior in high school, I helped tutor Spanish speaking students. I helped them fine-tune their papers, for many classes.
My ACT score was 28 out of 36, with a 30 out of 36 on the writing portion.
My high school, Burlington High School, has something called the Junior Writing Sample. As a junior, you have two days, and time in school during those two days, to do a draft and a final of a persuasive essay. I had some fun with it, and wrote an essay on why my favorite author, Stephen King, could be said to be one of today's best writers. I received a 6.0, highest honors, on that essay.
As a senior, I took Advanced Placement English I, II, and III. I took the Advanced Placement test for English and received a 3 out of 5, which was enough to give me 6 college credits before I even started college. because of this I tested out of two basic English classes and was able to take 200 level english classes as a first semester freshman.
Right now I am taking Creative Fiction Writing, in which we, as students, will have to write a fiction story that will be presented to the class, and as our final project, we will have to revise that story and present it to the class. I am also taking Advanced Expository Writing, in which we learn how to craft better essays. I have also, in the past, taken many literature classes and composition classes.
I am also a Resident Advisor here at UW Parkside. I live on campus and help the other residents here with whatever they need help with, from roommate issues, to parking permits, to contacting the tutoring center. I was an RA last year as well, and being one has helped me be a better student, leader, helper, and person.
I want to be a tutor because I love English. I love to read and to write, and I like helping people understand what they might be reading or writing. I have three younger siblings, none of which are too fond of writing. They call me when they need help with ideas, spelling, or if a sentence sounds right.
HobbiesI'm not a typical college kid. I very much enjoy reading. My favorite author is Stephen King, but I also love many other authors, and always try to read good books. I enjoy video games, but i'm bad at the racing ones and the army ones. I much prefer Jeopa

Unanswered: Which server for DB ?
we need new server for our database, and we don't know, if is better to buy a two 3.8G Xeons ot two 2.8G dual core intel CPUs. On both cases, the server is configured to 8G ram, 8x73G (15k scsi320) raid10 partition. OS W2k3 ent, MSSQL 2005. There are three database files 6G , 4G and 3G large and they are accessed by 120 users.
Do you have any ideas, which processors are better for our scenario ? (Dell 2800 server).
Thank for any ideas

I would go for 2.8G dual core intel CPUs as they tend perform well (in may case) with proper configuration.--Satya SKJ

Moto Guzzi dealers have started to take pre-orders for the new California 90, the final edition of the historic model. The Moto Guzzi California 90 has a price tag of $15,990 and will be arriving at dealerships in March next year. Just last month, Moto Guzzi introduced this model at the Moto Guzzi World Days in Mandello del Lario, Italy.
The model was in production for 40 years but it's now bidding farewell with the new California 90, the last version of the California lineup built and imported to the U.S. The California 90 features a color scheme with a two-colored chromium plated concept of retro California Metallic Orange / Diamond White.
It has a tank logo that portrays the writing that Moto Guzzi and its original designers had used in the 1930s. We could see that on the steering yoke, there's an identification plate that certifies that it is a limited edition and is actually the final one of the California. The seat is covered by cowhide and it comes with the "Anniversario" graphic, which emphasizes the spoked wheels, steel mudguards and fog lights – features taken from the Vintage model.
In addition, its windshield has stainless steel brackets and it has a chrome-plated luggage rack, and two saddlebags with velvet lined interior. The California 90 is powered by the standard big block 90 degree v-twin engine, known for its awesome torque and reliability. With a bore and stroke of 92 and 80 mm respectively, the 1064cc unit has aluminum alloy cylinders and pistons with a special wear-resistant graphite coating.
It is equipped with a Weber Marelli IAW electronic injection system with 40 mm diameter throttle bodies. As a result, it offers low emissions and a substantial thrust even at low rpm's. The California 90 delivers 69 ft. lbs. of torque at 5,000 rpm, and its capacity can reach 6,400 rpm where it delivers a maximum power of 74 hp.
