Dinner Party Wars invites you to enjoy a delicious hour of wining, dining and undermining as three couples go head to head in a ruthless, no-holds-barred dinner party competition. Hidden cameras capture every hilarious detail as recipes crash, testy guests come to blows, and taste buds are either tickled or tortured. As the battle rages on inside, expert judges Anthea Turner and Chef Corbin determine the winner while serving up a wealth of culinary and etiquette tips from the comfort of their curbside studio.
Determined to surf and turf the competition with their shipwreck theme, Lisa and John bury the backyard in sand. Hottie duo Erina and Elena steam things up with an alcohol-soaked Russian-centric menu that's heavy on peer pressure. Heritage-proud Greeks Helen and Greg whip up a Hellenic feast complete with a backyard roasting pit, a sticky serving of 'smart food', and a plate-smashing finale.
With flammable fishcakes, flying vodka, and sizzling sheep, the tables are set for a culinary smackdown.
With a river of booze and mountainous portions, amorous newlyweds Brad and Misty go big with a German-inspired menu before inviting their guests to get nearly naked. Neighbors and culinary compadres Kat and Karen treat their guests to a molecular gastronomy workshop followed by a cold, moist wipe-down and a seriously delayed roast tenderloin. Lifelong co-hosts Scott and Aneil literally sweat the details but serve up a knockout peanut butter pie with a drag queen finale. The heat is on with a rash of smoke breaks, an out of control hand bandit, and a party that ends up in the hot tub.
After a torrential downpour washes away their petting zoo plans, Alyson and Jordan serve up a farm-fresh meal where one guest railroads the conversation. Mother and son duo Catherine and Sebastien go back to their roots with a fancy French feast that includes a bout of fencing and DIY dessert. Friends Stephanie and Al turn up the volume with a disco club party where a stripper pole in the living room takes centre stage.
Featuring mind-expanding icebreakers, a frog-leg fiesta and a tabletop barbecue, the heat is on.
Brother-and-sister duo Daniela and Vince prepare an overeaters' extravaganza complete with sinful figs, cell phone violations, an electric knife massacre, and a flirty, floral finish. Something smells fishy at Karolina and Tiffany's music-themed soirée and in spite of a lackluster main and surprise dietary restrictions, the evening ends on a sweet note. Sue and Mike's maple-themed menu features bomb-shelter rice and cocktails, but things heat up when they unveil a racy lie detector game and a bubble wrapped hot tub extravaganza. The battle is on with a fashion faux pas, a sneaky pair of underpants, and an impromptu marriage proposal.
Students and vegetarians Sydney and Matas host a college frat party complete with meat-free burgers, a bouncer, and plenty of beer. Determined to demystify French cuisine, Celene and Cal tackle an ambitious ten-course menu but end up biting off more than they can chew. At their poolside Italian-style barbecue, Diane and John serve up signature poetry, undercooked crustaceans, and a side order of innuendo.
Featuring racy repartee, a history lecture, and a sword-slinging bottle opener, the battle is on.
Combining a taste of Holland with a whiff of the East coast, Richard and Sandra kick off their spirited event with a fish-kissing ceremony. While their guests show up ready for a 1970s disco night, co-hosts Rhenu and Sharin teleport to the wrong decade. Jason and Reshma's prom-night event features mandatory ball gowns and corsages, and a stressed-out host who ODs on energy drinks.
With lackluster fare, heavy perspiration, and a tie-breaking decision for the record books, the tables are set for a showdown.
Co-hosts and kung 'food' experts RG and Sean serve up a spicy event where one guest proves she's a real slugger. Lidia and Natasha get preachy about macrobiotic cooking but their lackluster event heats up in the horse paddock. Challenged by a flirtatious scheme designed to throw them off their game, stressed-out hosts Renee and Rex abandon their guests to prepare a fancy seafood fusion menu.
Featuring a gassy meal and an arm wrestling faceoff, the tables are set for a culinary battle where even the judges exchange blows.
Featuring a bagpiping greeter and friction in the kitchen, sisters Kelly and Susan nail their simple menu but get lost in the fog on their British party theme. Staging a spicy New Orleans-inspired soirée, newlyweds Jerome and Jodi get things off to a rocking start but the conversation fades around the table. Only two months into their relationship, Sal and Heidi put their love to the test with a colorful Mexican fiesta where the medley of games leaves the guests divided.
With a streaker in the sprinkler, some shady predictions, and a game of pin-the-tail-on-the-judges, the heat is on.
With their country comfort menu, Ginny and Ivor pair family-style fare with a preachy home-brewed wine game. Mimi and Matt's Asian fusion menu falls short of expectations but the lackluster event ends with a jam session. Soon-to-be-weds Robb and Glen kick off their fancy soirée with a dice-balancing act and an impromptu sculpture contest.
With an anti-smoking vigilante, sour grapes, and an exquisite two-faced soup, the tables are set for a culinary smackdown.
Summer and Greg whip up a meat-heavy menu and kick things off with a caveman-inspired workout. Best friends Sara and Amanda put a modern spin on Middle Eastern fare but first ask their guests to reveal a few secrets. Josh and Zach's apple-themed event gets off to a racy start with a challenge that turns up the heat. With catty conversationalists and a final course that's downright smoking, the battle is on.
Best friends Candace and Christine throw down the gauntlet with a scripted farm-fresh event that's timed down to the minute. Tattooed and pregnant with twins, Adam and Correne cook up a 'comfortably different' soiree where tensions run high and the awkward silences are served up cold. Jason and Lavinia prepare a Mediterranean menu with back-to-back lasagna dishes and cue cards designed to spice up the conversation.
Featuring skull painting crafts at the dinner table and egg-balancing tricks out back, the tables are set for a culinary smackdown.
On Chef Corbin's orders, roommates Sara and Kristen (aka Bob) improvise a few starters. Their early success is upstaged by an overdose of garlic and a barefoot guest who monopolizes the conversation. A foodie duo to be reckoned with, Rob and Maxine whip up a seven-course soirée complete with messy oysters and a Mexican standoff. Beyond the lackluster Guyanese-inspired menu, Jorn and Devi's school-themed party features a foosball match and an outdoor playground complete with swings and a trampoline.
With a snooping guest, a tricky tequila prank, and a diner who ends up soaking wet, the tables are set for a culinary smack down.
Lorraine and Jay challenge their guests to a sushi-making contest but the real challenge is serving drinks and dinner on time. Friends Liviu and Jamshid host a chair-free dinner party that features an archery contest, a dirty kitchen, and a dazzling waterfront setting.

With a broken barbecue, intravenous red wine, and a last-minute dash to save a soup, the heat is on.
Policemen John and Chris prepare a British Isles menu but even the spicy discussion can't distract from a serious meal delay. Dee and Mark's red carpet event goes from glamour to guano when her cockatoos join the party! Sandy and Rayissa serve up a Southern comfort soirée that's upstaged by the heat in the kitchen.
Robert and Brenda stage an all-you-can-eat surf'n'turf showdown where she serves up a few conversation bombs. Etiquette-challenged brothers Marco and Norm produce an Italian-inspired self-serve event. Christine and Louis prepare a complicated menu and killer cocktails but their meat-lover's feast hits a raw nerve.

Lisa and Dave serve up raw meat and get an impromptu lecture in pronunciation. Father and son duo Frank and Daniel kick off their Italo-centric soirée by serenading the ladies in a basement meat locker. While their fancy feast comes across more like a church supper, Joan and Mike's entertainment includes a bucking-bronco joyride.
Nigel and Sabia concoct an Indian fusion party but the outstanding food and entertainment are upstaged by their own kitchen drama. Kenneth and his 'Princess' Catherine serve up a basement surprise that raises eyebrows. Determined to win big, Jason and Robert host a Mexican-inspired wrestling-themed event.

With a mystery couple on the guest list, Massimo and Jeannine serve up dry conversation with their sumptuous international fare.
Johnny and Angela's Mediterranean-inspired fancy feast features huge portions and a seriously cocky attitude. Wacky pals Cecelia and Laurel cook up a traditional Sunday dinner where a laughing competition has everyone in stitches. While Adele calls the shots in the kitchen, husband Mark follows his marching orders thanks to an armband cheat sheet.
When their foodie feast falls behind schedule, Chris and Malcolm's frozen guests resort to drinking to stay warm. Myla and Lazlo serve up a meat-laden Hungarian soirée that's as spirited as it is surprising. Newlyweds Bree and Krystian's party is picture-perfect but the conversation is served cold.
Foodie soulmates Erin and Dara prepare a vegetarian feast but their guests are left wondering 'Where's the beef?' Sylvia and Neal's secret word game is a crowd-pleaser but their barbecued main course hits a snag. Under pressure to live up to their trash talk, Leslie-Ann and Glen lose points for some uninspired choices.
Sandy and Gary tackle a judge's favorite but their spicy appetizers and delayed main become a bone of contention. Sharlene and Inoka transform a simple menu into a showstopper but the conversation turns frosty. Geraldine and Marc are determined to win with their Caribbean theme but their attitude puts a damper on the festivities.
With their 1960s retro soirée, Vivian and Craig lose points for presentation but score big for revealing their guests' inner strength. Librarian hosts Heather and Robert vow to impress but while he frets about the food, she reveals a jealous streak. Tahira and Jacqui's photography-themed party leaves their guests divided.
Kathryn and Kirk master teamwork but their dining room performance leaves their guests feeling cold. With kosher kitchen skills and bulletproof confidence, Molly and Greg serve up culinary chaos and a railroaded conversation. Lori and her daughter Sara's Italian event features a boozy basement foosball match and a chef who's stuck the kitchen.
Deb and Simon's over-prepared party has been in the works for days but the strict timetable leaves it's up to the guests to spice up the dull conversation. Frank and Angela's Moroccan-inspired affair includes a Marrakesh-meets-Vegas home makeover and although no gimmick will get Simon to crack a smile, a belly dancer inspires everyone else to shake it. And finally, brothers Michael and Daniel dedicate their Shabbat-inspired dinner to their Grandma, but surely she would have something to say about their lackluster hygiene.
Sylvia and Jason throw an Old Hollywood-themed gala party that turns heads with its strict 'no alcohol' policy. Ngaan and Michael's rural home becomes a cultural crossroads with an African-inspired event that features no dining table, seats or cutlery, and ends with one sophisticated couple stewing over their dishwashing chore. And finally, Susie and Nate round out the week with a sexy gathering complete with an erotic platter. Will it be too hot for the other guests to handle?
World travelers Mardi and Neil set a culinary course to all seven continents, but the adventurous menu and rudderless planning force more than one guest to send out an SOS! Dinner party pros Nadirah and Massimo give it all they've got but meet their match when it comes to pre-dessert entertainment. And why is Mardi taking travel photos at the dinner table? And finally, lovebirds Madalene and Jonas do up a spring-themed menu that leaves the guests cold: Jonas can't get the barbie started, Madalene can't handle the heat, and this has judges Anthea and Corbin running for the ice cream man.
Cynthia and Mike's country bash gets steamy as their city slicker guests try to stay cool in the blistering heat while swatting flies from their farm-fresh food. Drill sergeant Brigitte consults her dinner party plan of attack while her underling Dave stays out of the way by starting some very personal conversation around the table. And finally, party girls Katrina and Julia attempt to distract their guests from the menu with strong drinks and dirty dancing.
At AJ and Sabrina's beach party, subdued suburbanites Veronica and Dan aren't impressed with the party girls' inflatable sea creature décor. At Veronica and Dan's, AJ has a showdown with a very angry river swan. And finally, Liz and Keith's gourmet foodie feast takes a beating when their high-end duck pâté is compared to cat food.
Adventurous in the kitchen, Lianne and Brian attempt a new Thai-inspired menu that ends up being spicier than the discussion at the table. Mother and daughter duo Setsuko and Christine serve up Montreal diner fare before surprising their guests with the freshest dinner any of them have ever seen, then a picture-perfect meal and ping-pong. And finally, Rudy and Domenic prepare a meal that's true to their Italian heritage, although their machismo takes a beating when they challenge Christine to slaughter her meal and take on sexy Lianne in a flirting contest.
Anthony and Charmaine's Greek-inspired menu fails to impress Peter the Greek, and after a Chilean sea bass inquiry, the couple's 'bobbing for grapes' game puts everyone on edge. Heather and Drew's evening includes great food and body painting, but when an appetizer finds its way into the sink, the arguments begin. And finally, Peter decides to show everyone what authentic Greek cuisine with the biggest menu ever seen on Dinner Party Wars.
Ryan and Charlene's processed food party gets off on the wrong foot when the host asks everyone to take off their shoes, but the evening ends in a happy whiff of hookah smoke. While worker bee Norm toils in the kitchen, his queen, Peggy, invites her guests to bare their souls, and after Ryan bares too much, a furry surprise guest arrives on the table. And finally, at Amanda and Zara's, the guests are treated to an intense foodie show-and-tell including a video starring the chickens that laid the eggs for the evening's meal.
Best friends Rod and DK dress up as the Mad Hatter and Queen of Hearts for an over-the-top tea party. As they sip their jabberwocky tea, their shell-shocked guests suspect they're the ones going 'mad.' Young'uns Casey and James turn on the charm with a Southern comfort-themed event, but it quickly turns into Southern discomfort with a crippling kitchen catastrophe and fried fare that's covered in flies. And finally, a cocky and shirtless Luis dons his apron to prepare his fancy French menu as wife Andrea looks on... But will his over-confidence be his demise?
Since they used to run a bar together, former prison guard Joanne (a.k.a. Scrappy) and her pal Robert are confident about serving large groups. But even with all their prep finished with time to spare, will their culinary prowess measure up to their social skills? Feisty cookery students Stephen and JJ are determined to outclass the competition with their gourmet food. But with their vodka-enhanced approach and 'Around the World' menu of nine complicated dishes, have they bitten off more than they can chew? And finally, with their suburban Bohemian approach to entertaining, Roberto and Cynthia are combining a Mediterranean-inspired meal with an improvised musical interlude. Will their garlic-centric menu and restaurant approach to hosting hit a sour note with the judges?
Nav and Rita strut their culinary stuff with an India-meets-Argentina menu, but their spice game lacks bite and misfits Mike and Mary aren't impressed. Mary's lackluster Peruvian meal — including woody asparagus with the wrong ends cut off — is only slightly more exciting than Mike's holiday slide show. Then, the evening gets risque with a surprisingly intimate art exhibit. Everyone quickly gets sauced at Barbara and Brian's meticulously planned evening, and Mike and Mary conspire to distract their hosts from the main event.
With their messy house and garden, young newlyweds Sarah and Byron are in over their heads with a Caribbean-inspired menu that starts on a sour note. Accomplished foodies and best friends Dee and Isabelle hold court in their beautiful downtown home, until Sarah reveals her competitive streak with a bathroom surprise. And finally, Paula and Domenic are determined to treat their guests to a regal Italian feast, and although Domenic puts a damper on the conversation, the party heats up when the cover comes off the hot tub.
Marsha and Brian's Caribbean-inspired evening gets off to a boozeless start with a mandatory dance lesson and a prayer that has one of the guests seeing red. Sue and Michael are determined to outclass the competition but their wine lecture and spit bucket-centerpiece prove to be a major turnoff. And finally, stale bread, serving delays and a main course that never materializes put a damper on Anne and Ryan's innovative, yet totally bizarre, Victorian tea party event.

Remanufactured are actually used cartridges which have worn part replaced with new ones. This allows a cartridge to be used almost endlessly, thereby conserving our natural resources. Remanufactured toner cartridges provide the same level of quality as new ones for lower price.
Compatible supplies are originally manufactured by one brand for its equipment, but can be used together with Brother MFC 7820N Laser Printers. This is possible because the manufacturers use the same engine for their devices.

Great Product By Victor on 3/11/14
Victor would recommend this product to a friendI purchased this unit about six months ago, and I am glad I did, unit was easy to setup, makes water pretty fast (water Pressure is high in my area) and 0 TDS -
TERRIFIC UNIT, EASY INSTALL By Westiegl on 3/10/14
Westiegl would recommend this product to a friendI have been struggling along with tap water for the past several years because I thought installing a RO/DI unit would be difficult and costly. Finally the constant algae issues drove me to finally make the purchase. I am now kicking myself that I did not purchase this unit sooner. The set up took literally 5 minutes, just hooked it up to my laundry room utility sink faucet and dropped the waste water line into the washing machine so we don't even waste the discharge water (which I had been feeling guilty about). Looks great and very easy to use. Definitely get the value pack upgrade with the TDS meter and pressure gauge. Totally worth it. Thanks BRS. -
a must for a reefer By Tyler on 3/10/14
Tyler would recommend this product to a friend100% satisfied with my choice in ro/di units. BRS took all the hassle out of having to worry about making sure it's setup properly. This was my biggest concern since this is my first ro/di unit. The tds meter is awesome and allows you to be sure you have clean water and tge Guage will help remind when to change filters.
Thanks BRS hopefully when I get to upgrade to the 300g display in thefuture the first thing II'll be getting isa larger unit from you guys -
Great Product, very well built By Crewsfish on 3/8/14
Crewsfish would recommend this product to a friendI decided to move up and start making my own RODI water vs transporting from LFS. This was super simple to connect - I was all assembled and well packaged when I received. Now I have two 32 gallon brute cans. One for RODI and one for Salt Water mixed. I choose the 4 stage value plus because of free shipping once you hit $175. I only added a filter sock to get my total at 175. A better deal than the 4 stage value (without the flush kit and pressure gauge, because you pay for shipping. -
RO/DI SYSTEM By James on 3/7/14

Great value, great price! By Xavi on 2/26/14
Xavi would recommend this product to a friendAfter using only a tap water filter for two years and having constant algae problems I finally bought a RO/DI. Easy to use. My algae problems are starting to clear up. -
Great first ro/di system.... By JEFF on 2/26/14
JEFF would recommend this product to a friendThis is my first ro/di system and for the money, I don't think any other company can beat the quality and value of this one. Easy to set up and use. I mounted mine in my garage above my washing machine. I purchased a y fitting to split the water connection between my washer and the ro system. Connected the red line to the y fitting using the included hose bib connector. Black line went to the washer waste pipe. Couldn't be easier. Also, the inline TDS meter makes it easy to monitor your filters and the water quality coming out. Thanks BRS..

Ask a Question About 'BRS 4 Stage Value PLUS RO/DI System - 75GPD'
Previously Asked Questions
by paul on September 29, 2013, @1:26 AM
I have 35# of water presure do I need a pump to go with this do/di and if so what do I need to get ?
Bulk Reef Supply Hi Paul,
Your pressure is low enough that I would recommend a booster pump as an RO/DI unit is going to work very poorly if at all at 35psi. Below I have linked the booster pump kit that you would want.
by lockkeeper69 on December 2, 2013, @4:51 AM
What is the waste water ratio of the BRS 4 Stage Value PLUS RO/DI System - 75GPD?
Bulk Reef Supply Hey there,
It depends on a lot of different factors but assuming proper water temp and pressure and that your not doing anything to increase the back pressure (like a pressurized storage tank) then you can expect about a 3:1 waste to product water ratio. -
by Dalton on September 28, 2013, @9:03 PM
On this RODI system. This exact one. Do i just need the float valve for 12$ or the 22$ with the check valve? Thanks!
Bulk Reef Supply Hi Dalton,
You would only need the float valve itself as the other components are already installed. -
by Jason on October 9, 2013, @3:01 PM
Will I be able to hook this up to my washing machine connection without making a hole?
Bulk Reef Supply Hi Jason,
The unit comes with a laundry tub/washing fitting. You could use an existing washing machine fitting if you have one available, or you most hardware stores carry a wye fitting you could use to split an existing source into two outputs so you don't have to disconnect your washing machine.
Also, the threads on the washing machine fitting and a laundry tub are also the same threads as a garden hose.
by Ramin Namvar on October 25, 2013, @11:36 AM
Hi, I want to know how long will these filters (Specifically DI resin) last?
Thanks.Bulk Reef Supply Hey Ramin,
The actual results will vary depending on your water but a good ballpark is that the sediment filter is generally good for around 3000g, the carbon block 6000g (this is total water, so waste + product). The RO membranes will last 3-5 years, or even longer if you treat them well. The DI resin however is really impossible to say. Its entirely dependent on your feed water. If you have high CO2 and High TDS, it will have a short life and vice versa. For most folks it lasts about as long as there sediment/carbon blocks but it does really vary significantly.

The Tomball City Council had another round with a proposed fencing ordinance, before finally approving the measure Feb. 4. Members also looked at the possibility of regulating the large donation boxes located around town, as well as approved waving impact fees for new businesses locating downtown.
Council started the meeting by revisiting the long debated fencing ordinance.
Councilman Derek Townsend's wife Lisa sent an email, which city secretary Doris Speer read.
"I oppose such laws where government regulations limit our decision making ability or puts undue stress on property owners and taxpayers," she wrote. "I hope there are elected officials which support the rights of homeowners and taxpayers."
Derek Townsend then suggested tabling the ordinance to allow for more discussion on what will be permissible. Other council members did not support Townsend and ultimately passed the new fencing ordinance. Townsend was the lone dissenting vote, while Councilman Mark Stoll wasn't present.
The discussion then turned to the charitable donation boxes located around town.
Assistant City Manager Christal Kliewer Weber told the council that most of the boxes are owned by private businesses, which then donate a portion of the proceeds to the charity named on the box. That drew the ire of Councilman Rick Brown, as he suggested charging a fee for those boxes. He had concerns that Goodwill maintains and pay rent at a storefront in the city, while the owners of the boxes do not.
"It seems like they need some kind of fee," Brown said. "Now the questions for staff is, what kind of burden does that put on staff?"
"There are only 16 (boxes) now," Weber said. "We can limit them, depending on what council wants to do."
Councilman Preston Dodson agreed that the boxes need to be regulated.
"I don't see a need for them to pay the city, but I do see a need for them to be well maintained," he said.
Townsend suggested the possibility of placing all donation boxes in a central location.
"Do we have a piece of property that we can set these on and say this is the donation area?" he asked.
Weber replied that some cities do.
Weber will take the council's suggestions and questions and city staffers will come up with a proposed ordinance in the future.
The council then voted unanimously to waive impact fees for new businesses in the downtown area for the next two years, as a way to lure new businesses to the area.
Rodney Hudson, a downtown property owner, thanked the council for the proposal.
"Waving these impact fees will make a difference and I think it's a positive move forward," he said.
Councilman Field Hudgens said he didn't think the move would have a big impact in the end, but still voted to approve the measure.
"I voted against this last time considering I don't think it will have such an impact in the way you guys really think it will," he said.
The Tomball City Council took steps to begin regulating donation canisters that are located within the city, while also hearing about a proposal for a new multi-family apartment building, during their regular meeting April 15.
The council unanimously passed an ordinance that will regulate donation boxes in Tomball.
"This will set the regulations for the type of containers that are allowable, who can operate them, where they can exist, a permitting process and then a process for violations," said Christal Kliewer Weber, Tomball Assistant City Manager.
The new ordinance will require that the containers must be operated on behalf of a non-profit organization, as well as be placed only in non-residential areas.
The new regulations also require that no more than two may be located on any lot and that they must be at least 300 feet away from any other container on any other lot.
They may not be larger than 96 cubic feet and must be neutral colored, while also maintained in good condition and emptied regularly.
The new law also requires operators of the donation boxes to get them permitted each year, at a fee of $25.
In other business, a joint workshop of the council and planning and zoning commission heard a proposal from Sean Rae, of Trammell Crow, about a planned multi-family apartment building on the northeast corner of SH 249 and Holderreith Road.
"A month or so ago we were approached by Trammell Crow Residential, wanting to talk about development of a multi-family complex here in Tomball," City Manager George Shackelford said. "We decided it would be best if they made a presentation before submitting a pro-posal."
Sean Rae, a development associate with the company, told the members about the proposal.
"This is not section eight or government subsidized housing," Rae said. "This is luxury, market rate housing."
The proposal laid out by Rae spells out a 376 unit complex on 19 acres. A formal proposal has yet to be submitted to the city.

Strictly speaking, the BROS 400 is heavy, underpowered and outdated. But the cheap grey imports are surprisingly nice to ride – they're well balanced, steer well and the engine is flexible, torquey and characterful given its 33bhp output. That also makes it legal for new riders on a restricted licence.

NOW, THEREFORE, in accordance with Section 2, Ninth, of the RLA, as amended, and based upon its investigation pursuant thereto, the Board certifies that the IBT has been duly designated and authorized to represent for the purposes of the RLA, as amended, the craft or class of Flight Dispatchers, employees of Champion Air, its successors and assigns.

John Martyn
John Martyn
Singer/songwriter/guitarist John Martyn was born Iain David McGeachy on September 11, 1948, in New Malden, Surrey, and raised in Glasgow by his grandmother. He began his innovative and expansive career at the age of 17 with a style influenced by American blues artists such as Robert Johnson and Skip James, the traditional music of his homeland, and the eclectic folk of Davey Graham (Graham remained an influence and idol of Martyn's throughout his career). With the aid of his mentor, traditional singer Hamish Imlach, Martyn began to make a name for himself and eventually moved to London, where he became a fixture at Cousins, the center for the local folk scene that spawned the likes of Bert Jansch, Ralph McTell, and Al Stewart. Soon after, he caught the attention of Island Records founder Chris Blackwell, who made him the first white solo act to join the roster of his reggae-based label. The subsequent album, London Conversation (February 1968), only hinted at what was to come in Martyn's career. Although it contained touches of blues along with Martyn's rhythmic playing and distinctive voice, it was for the most part a fairly straightforward British folk record. With his follow-up later that same year, the Al Stewart-produced The Tumbler, Martyn began to slowly test other waters, employing backup musicians such as jazz reedman Harold McNair, to flesh out his sound. His voice also started to take on a jazzier quality as he began to experiment musically.

Questions about red light cameras are once again being raised, after the Tomball City Council recently voted to extend the program for five more years.
City Councilman Field Hudgens was the lone dissenting vote on the issue and said that he prefers the issue be brought to a vote of the citizens.
"I wasn't questioning the legality or constitutionality of the cameras," he said. I want to see the issue decided by the voters of the city."
Opponents of the cameras have often cited privacy concerns and the lack of a clear criminal process as reason to oppose the cameras, while supporters say the numbers prove that the cameras work and that making the punishment merely a civil issue is easier on violators.
"Coming from California where the camera system was entirely punitive, where violations went on your record and you had fines in upwards of $400, I believe the system works better the way it is designed in Texas," Tomball Police Chief Robert Hauck said.
Numbers have shown that since the cameras were turned on, the number of traffic accidents has decreased tremendously.
Before the cameras were installed there were 626 accidents in the city. By 2010 that number had dropped to 322 – a decrease of 49 percent.
"Although red light cameras have contributed to the decrease, they are not the sole factor," said Tomball Police Cpt. Rick Grassi. "There are other reason that we call the three e's of traffic safety – engineering, education and enforcement."
Hauck said the revenue generated from the cameras has allowed the department to enhance other aspect of traffic safety, including adding sidewalks to heavily traveled routes.
"This program and the revenue generated from it has allowed us to enhance our traffic safety enforcement, without providing criminal penalties to violators," he said. "Every ticket an officer writes for a red light violation goes on your record and can cost hundreds of dollars in fines."
Grassi and Hauck said that the cameras are just a tool in the broader spectrum of traffic safety and unlike other cities; Tomball has not tried to turn it into a major revenue generator.
"The City of Tomball has never lost focus on the primary purpose of cameras, which is public safety, not financial compensation," Grassi said.
"We have never come back and tried to make this system into a cash cow by adding more cameras, even though our contract with the vendor says that we can," Hauck said
Hauck also said the cameras are just a part of a broader effort of traffic safety enforcement within the city.
"Adding things like the flashing lights in school zones is something we would not have been able to do," he said.
Hudgens said that he doesn't deny the numbers that support the cameras; however, he believes that the citizens have not been heard.
"It is a volatile topic and it should go to the citizens for a vote," he said.
In order for a vote to happen, a citizen led petition drive must occur, or the city council must agree and vote to add the issue to the ballot.

Telework helps PTO employees stay productive through Sandy
Friday - 11/2/2012, 3:15pm EDT
PTO has about 7,000 employees teleworking from one to five days a week, with half of those working from home full-time.
"Despite the emergency circumstances and federal government closures, the USPTO and its employees shifted gears and performed admirably, demonstrating our leadership in telework for government agencies," wrote PTO Director David Kappos in a blog post.
Kappos called the level of a productivity "a remarkable achievement, considering many of our examiners couldn't participate because of widespread power outages."
The trademark assistance call center to answer questions about the trademark process was fully operational during those two days, with "100 percent participation from the work-at-home employees," Kappos wrote.
Kappos credited Senior Telework Advisor Danette Campbell, who was a 2012 Service to America Medal finalist.
