Questions to John "Bermuda" Schwartz...
Bermuda has been the drummer with "Weird Al" Yankovic since 1980, and is seen and heard on
all of Weird Al's albums, videos, and concert and television performances.
Born in Chicago in 1956, drums came into Jon's family from Wm. Ludwig Jr. as a gift to Jon's older brother in return for some advertising work their father did for the drum company. After a family move to Phoenix, Arizona, Jon inherited the kit and began taking formal lessons in 1965. He also listened and played along to the radio hits of the day, as well as albums including everything from Gene Krupa to Elvis, Latin orchestras, and especially the Beatles.
Another family move took the Schwartzes to Los Angeles in 1968, and it was then that Jon decided to be a professional drummer. He continued to take lessons, joined his school's advanced band class and a local junior marching band, and later drummed in a precision marching band where he brushed up on his rudiments. In high school, Jon was in the theater arts band playing for school productions of the Music Man, Hello Dolly, My Fair Lady and The Sound Of Music, and had even managed to join another high school's stage band for a semester.
Other early accomplishments include Jon's first recording session (at age 13) with studio guitarist Al Casey, playing with youth orchestras, performing at California state and national junior band competition finals, teaching beginning and intermediate students, and his first group (formed in 1971) winning the 1974 L.A. County Battle of the Bands at the Hollywood Bowl. And some of the home recordings made by Jon and fellow school band members received airplay on the Dr. Demento show, which would later lead to a turning point in Jon's career.
By his late teens, Jon already had a good feel for working with other musicians in a variety of situations and musical styles. 1975-76 were quiet drumming-wise, and Jon attended a local college, left home, and landed in retail management for about a year until he joined his first top-40 band in 1977. Jon was beginning to live his dream and make a living playing drums. The band had a steady 6-night a week gig and worked together for over a year, and Jon started to pursue other groups and session work.
"One of the groups was Nipper, a typical New Wave band looking for one of those record deals that seemed to come to whoever asked for it back then. These were players I'd done some recording with, and I felt the band had promise. We played the L.A. club circuit including classic venues like The Valley West Supper Club, The Londoner, Sweetwater, Relic House, The Arena, Club 88 and of course Madame Wong's West and Chinatown locations. By mid-1981, I was losing interest in the group, and getting distracted."
One such distraction began on September 14, 1980, when Jon was invited by Dr. Demento to be interviewed on his live radio show to talk about the songs he'd submitted years earlier; Jon and his friends were among the first people to have home-made music played on the Dr.'s show at the time. It was there that Jon met "Weird Al" Yankovic, who happened to be answering request lines that night. Already a staple of the Dr. Demento show, the 20-year-old Yankovic played accordion and had been sending his homemade parody tapes to Demento on a regular basis. That night, he would debut his newest parody, Another One Rides The Bus, live on the air. Al asked Jon if he'd mind pounding out a straight beat... on the accordion case! Jon cheerfully agreed, and evidently had a great time:
"Afterwards, I told Al 'you should have a band, I'll be your drummer,' to which he agreed. Dr. Demento's show was syndicated nationally, and within a few weeks, Bus was being played on 'morning drive' radio for millions of listeners and a new audience beyond the devotees of Dementia. Soon we began to record more sophisticated tapes for the show and played a few gigs around L.A. In early 1981, Al dubbed me 'Bermuda'."
It wasn't long before permanent bass and guitar players were recruited, and Al's first album was released in May, 1983. Guitar legend Rick Derringer produced Al's first six albums through 1989's UHF Soundtrack, and Al himself took over the production duties starting with 1992's Off The Deep End. To date, Al and the band have recorded eleven albums (most of them reaching Gold and Platinum status, with a few Grammy Awards thrown in for good measure,) toured extensively, made videos, and appeared on TV. In June, 2005, they began work on their 12th album. Jon has also assembled an unmatched collection of Weird Al's music and appearances on retail and promo audio and video products from around the World.
But Yankovic's touring and recording schedule was not the only thing to occupy Jon's life since their meeting in 1980. Jon continued to perform locally with several groups and work on various recording projects, attended the winter NAMM show each year, got married in 1991, and juggled it all while holding a middle-management position at Westwood One Radio Networks.
"They were very indulgent and tolerant of my musical passion, and apparently liked my performance at the company - I left to tour with Al and returned multiple times during the 14 years I worked there. Besides the regular paycheck, I also enjoyed respect from other musicians for being able to successfully balance careers. Players who claim that having a day-job will interfere with their music could learn from my example."
In 1996 Jon left Westwood One, and his fascination with the Internet since 1993 soon led to another pursuit: designing web sites. He'd already developed a site for Weird Al in 1995, and within a few years, business license in hand, Jon sought additional clients, and continues to keep busy on the computer both at home and on the road. There are still gigs and recordings with various local players, but none quite as notorious as Jon's perennial association with Al, which he regards with great pride:
"I get to be a dozen different drummers on every album... I don't know of another drummer who has a gig like that. It's always fun and often a genuine challenge. Al's made me play parts I didn't know how to play. I need to thank him for that."

For future reference, re: garlic bread.
Okay, so you've taken the plunge and bought some garlic bread. Frozen, uncooked, from a convenient supermarket. But alas, you don't have an oven, all you have access to is a sandwich press and a microwave.
The sandwich press does a good job at cooking the crust of the garlic bread, especially if you rotate the bread half way through so all four of the long edges are cooked. The first flaw of this is that your garlic bread takes on the shape of a rectangular prism. The second is that the garlic bread does not end up being cooked all the way through, leaving large clumps of butter inside, unmelted with the rest of the bread.
The microwave leads to even less desirable results. Having to first remove the aluminium foil is a pain, but the garlic bread ends up rigidly solid all of the way through. On top of that, the overly excitable butter melts into a pool on the bottom of the plate, leaving me curious as to how it managed to seep through a material I can barely break through by biting right down on it.
I think that the key will lie in being able to microwave the garlic bread for a very short space of time, 20-30 seconds, and then transferring it to the sandwich press.

tripe, tongue, or sweetbreads near UCLA?
Coming to UCLA from NY for a departmental gig. I will be without a car. I love tongue or tripe or sweetbreads in virtually all preps: tacos, Asian tripe soup, Korean gopchang jigae, deli tongue sandwiches, etc. Anything in walking distance of UCLA? It doesn't need to be upscale but it does need sit-down (so not a taco truck). Ideas?
Tsujita on Sawtelle makes my favorite beef tongue dish, it's cut about 3/4 cm thick so not as thin as traditional slices, but it's got a great grilled flavor and the spicy condiment they serve with it
Compliments it so well.I wasn't a fan of Attaris brain,
Didn't try the tongue+brain combo, the spices
Overpowered the flavor of the brain for me-
re: wienermobile
Or you could take the Big Blue Bus. You can take a bus to Westwood/Olympic and then the 5 runs along Olympic (although I'm not sure if it stops near Sawtelle). At any rate, you can take a look for yourself:

New Testament | |
—n | |
the collection of writings consisting of the Gospels, Acts of the Apostles, Pauline and other Epistles, and the book of Revelation, composed soon after Christ's death and added to the Jewish writings of the Old Testament to make up the Christian Bible |
The second part of the Christian Bible. Christians believe that it records a "new covenant," or "new testament," that fulfills and completes God's "old covenant" with the Hebrews, described in the Old Testament.
New Testament
n. [C programmers] The second edition of K&R's "The C Programming Language" (Prentice-Hall, 1988; ISBN 0-13-110362-8), describing ANSI Standard C. See K&R; this version is also called `K&R2'.(Luke 22:20), rather "New Covenant," in contrast to the old covenant of works, which is superseded. "The covenant of grace is called new; it succeeds to the old broken covenant of works. It is ever fresh, flourishing, and excellent; and under the gospel it is dispensed in a more clear, spiritual, extensive, and powerful manner than of old" (Brown of Haddington). Hence is derived the name given to the latter portion of the Bible. (See TESTAMENT.)

Click here to see a timeline, videos and more on Robert C. Byrd.
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- A special election to complete U.S. Sen. Robert C. Byrd's term cannot be held until 2012, Secretary of State Natalie Tennant said Monday.
"That election will not be the 2010 general election," she said during a late-afternoon news conference Monday.
That means Gov. Joe Manchin can appoint someone to fill Byrd's seat, and that person will hold the seat until the election in November 2012.
Tennant said staff attorneys reviewed state law (W.Va. Code 3-10-3) regarding U.S. Senate vacancies, as well as a 1994 state Supreme Court decision. They concluded that it's too late to have a special election for Byrd's unexpired term to coincide with this year's general election on Nov. 2.
"That means the election for the unexpired term for the U.S. Senate will be the next election cycle, which is 2012," she said.
State law states that if there is more than two years, six months remaining in an unexpired term, there is to be a special election to fill the vacancy, she said.
However, the law also says that candidates for the unexpired term are to be nominated in the first primary election after the vacancy occurs.
Tennant said that since no candidates had filed in the May 11 primary for what turned out to be an unexpired term, the law states that nominees for the unexpired term are to be selected in the May 2012 primary, with the special election to take place during the November 2012 general election.
Byrd would have been up for re-election in 2012, so anyone running for the unexpired term would probably also run at the same time for the full six-year term that begins in January 2013, she said.
Tennant noted that the primary deadline for candidates to file for unexpired terms was upheld by the state Supreme Court in 1994, in a case involving Gov. Gaston Caperton's appointment of Irene Berger to fill a vacancy on the Kanawha Circuit Court.
Berger was appointed in April 1994 to a term that was to expire in December 2000.

The rocky road to Tru2way
Update: Subsequent to the publication of this story, Panasonic has released a more detailed statement on the status of its Tru2way TVs.
CableLabs' Tru2way got a big boost last month when Sony signed on with a pledge to design and deliver TVs that incorporate the standard, bolstering an already impressive list of backers. The Web was flooded with optimistic reports of a post-cable box Valhalla where you could simply buy a Tru2way TV, screw in your coaxial cable, and have plug-and-play access to your 1,000-channel universe. Before those miracle TVs hit the market, however, they need to be certified by CableLabs--and there are rumors that the initial trials aren't going well. According to IP Democracy, the initial certification tests for Panasonic Tru2way TVs were unsuccessful--to say the least. The post cites "folks close to Tru2way" as calling the Panasonic tests a "'disaster of spectacular proportions'" that resulted in "'dozens and dozens' of bugs."
In an attempt to verify those dire--but anonymous--quotes, we contacted Panasonic and CableLabs for their responses.… Read more

Operation Summary for September 7, 2011 - September 9, 2011 |
Wednesday September 7 The day shift began with Operations monitoring the Tevatron (TEV) store 9067 (75.2E30) and the Recycler stash (395.7E10), with the Antiproton Source (Pbar) stacking (9.6E10), with the Main Injector (MI), Linac, and Booster operating normally, with the NuMI and MiniBooNE experiments taking beam, and with the Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF) and D-Zero (D0) using the colliding beams. During the day shift, Operations terminated store 9067 at 8:22 AM, put the TEV into shot setup, and established store 9068 at 9:31 AM with an average initial luminosity (AIL) of 361.9E30. Operations turned off the Linac beam so that Linac personnel could begin replacing the power amplifier for a Linac RF station (LRF1). Operators put Pbar into standby during the MI RF LCW system work. A Booster RF person reported that they would do maintenance work on the anode power supplies while Linac was down. A Water Works person reported at 10:31 AM that they had repaired the MI RF LCW leak. RF personnel reported at 11:16 AM that they were changing the modulator for a MI RF station (MIRF3). Stacking, MiniBooNE and NuMI beam returned at 1:15 PM. During the evening shift, Operations ran beam to users and monitored store 9068. Thurs day September 8 The midnight shift began with Operations monitoring store 9068 (78.53E30) and the stash (295.6E10), with Pbar stacking (9.4E10), and with NuMI and MiniBooNE taking beam. During the midnight shift, Operations terminated store 9068 at 3:58 AM, put the TEV into shot setup, and established store 9069 at 5:33 AM with an average initial luminosity (AIL) of 358.08E30. During the day shift, Operations terminated store 9069 at 11:47 AM. Tevatron experts then started a period of Tev studies (low energy studies, 3x3's at 150-450 Gev). During the evening shift, Operations delivered beam to users and low energy Tevatron studies continue. Friday September 9 The midnight shift began with Tevatron low energy studies, Operations monitoring the stash (167.3E10), with Pbar stacking (104.3E10), and with NuMI and MiniBooNE taking beam. During the midnight shift, Operations turned off the Main Injector at 7:19 AM. Experts are accessing the Main Injector to take a look at a kicker (R:KPS3A) which is alarming on a fluorinert low level. The Plans for Friday and the Weekend The plans for today are to repair R:KPS3A, continue Tevatron low energy studies and deliver beam to users. |

Rwanda 20 Years Later
This year marks the 20th anniversary of the genocide in Rwanda. In 100 days, from April to July 1994, between 500,000 and one million Rwandans, predominantly Tutsis, were massacred when a Hutu extremist–led government launched a plan to wipe out the country's entire Tutsi minority and any others who opposed their policies. The genocide ended when the Tutsi-dominated rebel movement, the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF), captured Kigali and overthrew the Hutu government. The RPF leader, Paul Kagame, became president in April 2000 and continues to hold this position today.
Learn more about the history of the Rwandan genocide.
Programs and Events
The Museum is commemorating the anniversary of the genocide in a number of ways.
As part of the Failure to Prevent: International Responses in the Age of Genocide initiative, the Museum's Center for the Prevention of Genocide, in partnership with the National Security Archive, is conducting a documentation and oral history project examining turning points in the Rwandan genocide when international action could have made a difference. The first turning point is devoted to the so-called "genocide fax" that Lieutenant-General Roméo Dallaire, then commander of UN peacekeeping forces in Rwanda, sent to UN headquarters in New York in January 1994 in an effort to warn his superiors of the genocide to come.
The Rwandan Genocide 20 Years Later, a conversation with author and journalist Philip Gourevitch and others, takes place in New York on March 4. Produced in cooperation with the United Nations Office on Genocide Prevention and the Responsibility to Protect, the program will explore the difficult questions about Rwanda that still haunt us today: about the leaders who instigated violence, the individuals who participated willingly in mass murder, and the international community that looked away.
At the time of the anniversary, a high-level delegation from the Museum will travel to Rwanda to bear witness to the events of the past and to add the Museum's voice of conscience to the commemorations.
On April 30, the Museum will present Lieutenant-General Roméo Dallaire with our highest honor—the Elie Wiesel Award—at our annual National Tribute Dinner, held in conjunction with Holocaust Days of Remembrance events in Washington, DC. We will honor General Dallaire for his bravery and moral courage in standing up to his superiors, for saving countless lives, and for trying to protect thousands more. Previous winners of the award include Elie Wiesel and Burma's Aung San Suu Kyi.
Turning Points in the Rwandan genocide
Timed to coincide with the 20th anniversary of the genocide, this project includes collecting, declassifying, and making accessible key documents from a wide variety of sources, as well as interviewing decision makers and eyewitnesses for their firsthand perspectives about key moments when international action could have made a difference.
Between January and July 2014, the Museum and the National Security Archive are posting a series of "electronic briefing books" that provide in-depth analyses of pivotal events before and during the genocide. Released on the anniversary of each event, each briefing book includes a selection of annotated and analyzed documents, photographs, and eyewitness testimony.
The first book is devoted to the so-called "genocide fax" that General Dallaire sent to UN headquarters in New York on January 11, 1994.

Forget about Spain: Run with the bulls in Va.
Sunday - 8/11/2013, 2:29pm  ET
WASHINGTON -- Have you ever wanted to run with the bulls but can't make it to Spain? You might get a chance to and at a much closer location.
Rob Dickens is the brains behind the "Great Bull Run" that will take place on Saturday, Aug. 24 at the Virginia Motorsports Park in Petersburg, Va.
It's a spin-off of the running of the bulls in Pamplona. And he says it's an all- day event and celebration.
"We're on pace to have 5,000 runners there. But that doesn't include spectators," says Dickens. He says there could be up to 3,000 on hand to witness the inaugural "Great Bull Run," one in a series of bull runs to be held across the country.
Dickens says 10 cities are lined up to date, but more dates could be added in the future. For the current dates and ten cities, "We have about 20,000 people (to run with the bulls) signed up nationwide," he says.
The Virginia event, he says, will have three separate running events. The first will begin at 11 a.m., the second at noon and the third at 1 p.m. Dickens adds that, just like they do in Spain, there will be a ginormous tomato fight afterwards. "Tomato Royale, where 4,000 people will be throwing tomatoes at each other," he says.
But if running alongside a 1,000-pound animal isn't for you, you can pay $10 to be a spectator. Forty percent of those who have signed up to run with the bulls are women, Dickens says.
Of course, this event won't be exactly like the running of the bulls in Spain. After Pamplona's running of the bulls, they kill the animals in a bull fight, but that will not be the case at the U.S. events.
In fact, he says, there is a veterinarian on site at all times to make sure the bulls are healthy and are treated properly.

Cooking with Linux - Because Nothing Says High Performance Like a Good Race
All these packages are available as source code bundles from their respective Web sites. Before you start compiling (unless you want to, of course), check your distribution's software repositories for binary packages. In all cases, I had no trouble finding packages.
Once you are lined up at the starting line, don't be too hasty putting the pedal to the metal or you'll be fined penalty points. Once you are off, your car can do some interesting things besides drive. For starters, you can momentarily jump above your competition and any obstacles in your path. Keep moving and collect spinning cubes along the way, as these contain things like rockets, which you then can fire at opponents and obstacles alike (Figure 3). Try to pick up the spinning fish coins as well—a penguin's gotta eat.
The courses in SuperTuxKart are fun, colorful and imaginative. Race though an undersea lair, through the shifting sands of the Egyptian desert or around obstacles in Oliver's Math Glass. And, don't worry too much about falling off the edge of the world or an altogether psychedelic cliff. Your jumping/flying car will carry you back to safety using its combination magnetic levitation system and butterfly wings.
The next item on tonight's menu is a great racing game called VDrift. Created by Joe Venzon, VDrift is an exciting game based on drift racing. The V in VDrift refers to the Vamos Automotive Simulator, written by Sam Varner. Vamos is the physics engine that powers the game. Aside from being exciting and great fun to play, VDrift comes with 19 world-class tracks and 28 different car models. VDrift is available at vdrift.net.
In case you don't know what drift racing is (your humble Chef did not), it's a form of racing where the driver employs "drifting" to control the car. Doesn't help? Well, this quote from Wikipedia might clear things up: "A car is said to be drifting when the rear slip angle is greater than the front slip angle and the front wheels are pointing in the opposite direction of the turn." In other words, the car is turning one way, but the wheels are pointing in another direction. This, strange as it may seem, this is not an accident. Remember, the driver is in control. As the driver, what you are doing is sliding into a turn to avoid slowing down as much as possible.
When the game starts, you can select the car you want and, in some cases, the color. Where you race is another option. Choose a racetrack or go for a relaxing, high-speed drive in the country. Practice races put you on the track with no other cars to worry about. Races pit you against an opponent. On a single computer, you can play VDrift alone or against a computer opponent, at which point, you also can decide on your opponent's car model and color (Figure 5). VDrift also can be run as a server, at which point, your friends can join in for a networked game.
Several option controls exist to make the game more realistic, and more difficult, if you so choose. For instance, you can decide what effect speed has on steering by adjusting a slider to a desired percentage. The higher the percentage, the more difficult it is at high speeds. You also can choose to map different keys for the gas pedal, brakes and steering. Shifting and clutch controls can be defined as well. I confess that I found it much easier to set up to use an automatic transmission on my first few races. That brings up another point—make sure you are in gear before you start. It took me a few tries before I realized that I was going backward. Press the S key to start, then press 1 to get in gear. If you have selected automatic, shifting will happen automatically for you after this.
There are more options and settings, which I'll let you discover, but I do want to mention one other group of settings that may be important. Given that this an OpenGL game and that it does require hardware 3-D acceleration, owners of somewhat less-powerful video cards may find the game more responsive by toning down some of the effects.
As you race, you can change your viewing angle by pressing F1 through F5. If you find yourself totally taken with the action on-screen and you feel the desire to preserve the moment, you can get a screenshot of the action at any time by pressing F12. Those images will appear in the folder .vdrift/screenshots in your home directory.
The final item on tonight's menu is the perfect selection for those of you who experience a kind of mania when it comes to racecar driving. The game, aptly named ManiaDrive, is an incredibly fast-paced game with rapid turns, nerve-wracking jumps (Figure 6) and a driving, rocking, soundtrack (ManiaDrive is actually a clone of Nadéo Studio's Trackmania game). ManiaDrive features a training mode designed to prepare you for the real thing and a set of complex tracks that can be played locally or on-line with other players. You can get ManiaDrive from maniadrive.raydium.org.
When you start ManiaDrive, make sure you go through the Beginner story, which will guide you through the various moves that are expected of you. When you are ready for the big time, choose the Pro story mode. This game is more an endurance and skill test than a race. Sure, there's a clock ticking and your speed is tracked (on-line, against others, no less), but races last only a short time, some less than a minute. If you are the type that gets bored quickly, ManiaDrive is for you.
Speaking of fast, is it possible that the time has gone by so quickly? Mon Dieu! And yet, it does appear that closing time is almost upon us. Well, mes amis, despite the apparent crisis that we apparently faced tonight, I dare say the beer selection was most refreshing. I can tell from your approving nods that you agree with me. Nevertheless, tomorrow, I shall have the wine cellar lock changed, and next time, our award-winning cellar will once again be open. But for now, François will pour you another beer that you may enjoy at your leisure while you enjoy another race. Remember, mes amis, that sitting in front of your Linux systems driving a virtual car is the only way to drink and drive safely. Raise your glasses, mes amis, and let us all drink to one another's health. A votre santé! Bon appétit!
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

I think all in all we hung with them physically, but mentally I thought there were certain areas as far as dropping the ball on the ground and the turnovers were really the big difference. You're not going to be minus three against the New England Patriots and win very many ballgames. Having played them very many times, I know that to be true."
On turnovers
"Our guys fought, and we tried to get back into it. But the reality is, we're not at the stage where we can overcome minus three (turnovers)."
On QB Tim Tebow
"It's usually a lot more fun when you win, but I thought he improved. He'll continue to improve. This was a setback no doubt about that, but sometimes setbacks are setups for bigger things to come. That's the way we'll approach it."
Quarterback Tim Tebow
On what went wrong after the strong start
"Well, first and foremost I have to thank my lord and savior, Jesus Christ, first, and, I also want to thank my teammates for the effort that they played with all day. And the coaches coached extremely hard, and we kept fighting for the entire day, and that's something that I'm extremely proud of.
"We did have things going pretty well early. [We] scored on our first three possessions, and we felt like we were moving the ball pretty well, but then we put [the ball] on the ground, and that's something you can't do versus a great team and [New England QB] Tom Brady and [New England coach] Bill Belichick. Besides that, we were right there with them, and there's a lot of great things that we can take out of this game and try to improve and get better. I think every time there's a setback it's just more of an opportunity for a new step up and to make something even bigger and better. We're going to be excited about this week going to Buffalo, and we're going to be extremely motivated. We'll have a good week at practice."
On the team's mentality after the loss
"Everybody is very positive; just encouraging each other. We'll go at it here in a few days and get ready for Buffalo."
On his mind-set entering the game
"It was another game versus another good team, a team that's been a perennial power and a team where we feel like we can compete with, and we did. We just have to do it a little bit more consistently. We'll try to go and see if we can do that and improve a little bit each and every day."
On if he heard the hype of this game being Brady vs. Tebow
"I don't pay too much attention to [the hype] anyways. I just know it was the New England Patriots coming to play the Denver Broncos, and it was two teams going head-to-head—I believe two pretty good teams—and [New England] just had an edge on us because we dropped the ball on the ground, and that's something we've got to do better."
Linebacker Von Miller
On the loss
"We just got beat today. They are a great team over there, back to the drawing board tomorrow. We are going to stick to our formula for success and that is taking it one day at a time, one play at a time."
On losing the turnover battle
"We definitely need to replicate what the other team's defense is doing. It is a team sport, all three phases of the games – special teams, offense, and defense. We have to pick it up, get back on track, and stick to our formula for success."
On if he believed the Broncos would come back
"We always feel like we have the opportunity, especially after they didn't score. We just went out there and weren't able to hold up on defense. We gave up a big play, and that is part of the game. When you're going against a great team like that; things like that happen."
Cornerback Champ Bailey
On QB Tom Brady
"I said it before the game, he is still the best out there in my opinion. When you make mistakes against a guy like that, he is going to make you pay. That is pretty much what happened all day."
On the absence of Brian Dawkins
"He knows how important he is to us, and everyone in this locker room knows how important he is to this team. You can't expect to get the same results when you lose a guy like that. At the same time, you have to have guys step up. It is professional sports; you can't play like that and expect to get wins."
On if he believed the Broncos would come back
"We never quit and that is going to be our identity, a fighting team until the end. We showed that today, we just didn't come out on top."
On what the team needs to do to get better
"Just practice harder, study harder – whatever we are doing, we have to do a little more. We have to try and pull each other through, because we have a lot of young guys and a lot of these guys can learn how to play in this game."
Running Back Lance Ball
On the possibility of the team losing confidence
"No, we are totally confident in ourselves. We just have to play better as a team, I need to play better, and it is on to Buffalo."
On the confidence of the team
"We stay confident and keep going. We are still in this, just had a mild bump in the road and correct what we did wrong and move on to next week."
On QB Tim Tebow
"It is just another guy who can make plays. If you sleep on him, he is going to make a play. If you zone in on him, other people around him will make plays, so it is good that he has that factor where he can use his feet."
On the turnovers
"Things happen, and it is a mild bump in the road, we just have to shake it off and keep playing."
Defensive End Elvis Dumervil
On his sack of QB Tom Brady
"I just tried to make a play for the team. I tried to get there, and I wish I would have gotten the ball out, but he is a good quarterback and was able to hold the ball in still. We have a lot of work in a short period of time and need to take care of business against Buffalo."
On the Raiders' loss
"Fortunately, that's good for us. We can still control our own destiny, and we have two weeks to do it and are going to start against Buffalo."
On using the Patriots as a measuring stick
"We can't have three turnovers against a good team; we need to create turnovers. It is a good challenge for us; it was a good test, but at the end of the day we expect to get the win. We did some good things in the game and some things to correct."
Cornerback Andre' Goodman
On the loss
"We just have to learn from this and be able to move on quickly from an emotional standpoint."
On the state of the team
"I think we haven't played our best football yet, but I think we feel good about the position we're in in terms of the division race. Right now, that's the only thing we can focus on— and being able to play better, especially in big games like this."
On missing S Brian Dawkins
"He's missed, period. His physical presence was missed. His leadership is always missed, but there are no excuses for not communicating."
Wide Receiver Demaryius Thomas
On ball security
"We had three big turnovers in the second quarter. I think that had a big part in our loss, but the Patriots are a good team. We've just got to take care of the ball and hopefully have a better situation next time."
On the offense after the first quarter
"I don't know if it was adjustments. Once we started turning the ball over, and they started scoring more, I felt like we changed the way we were playing. We had to do it differently, because you know you can't play catch-up with them. They've got an explosive offense, and we just had to change up things and try to just keep up with them."
On leading the division
"That was good that [Oakland] lost, but we're not really worried about anybody else but ourselves. We wanted to get that win and show everybody that we can play with elite teams."

Snow Mobile Riders Putting Safety First Following Fatal CrashBy Heather Hubbs, Reporter
COGGON, Iowa - A Central City man is dead, another injured following a snowmobile accident.
The Sheriff's Office said the crash happened east of Coggon, near State Highway 13 between Nugents Road and Monticello Road about 11:20 p.m. Friday. Investigators sayid the man who died was thrown from his sled after he hit a field fence. He died at the scene. His family has requested his name not be made public at this time. The injured man, a 20-year-old from Central City, was riding on a second sled, he also hit the fence, and responders took him to the hospital with minor injuries. This marks the first snowmobile fatality of the year. While news of this tragedy didn't seem to keep riders off their sleds, it's certainly causing some to be a little more cautious. Snowmobiling is supposed to be a fun winter sport, but if a person isn't careful it can be dangerous "I've had my share of close calls. One time I hit a culvert, [it] wasn't a good result [and it]makes me that much more cautious," Tim Antons, snowmobile rider, said. Antons and Chris Ostert have been riding snowmobiles together around Linn County for the past 5 years. They are both well aware of the hazards lurking amongst the trails. "There are culverts out in the ditch big enough to take a whole sled; you really got to watch for them," Ostert said. "There's fence posts barb wire, rocks, anything under the surface waiting to get ya," Antons said. In Friday's fatal snowmobile accident, the drivers both hit a fence post along this stretch of Highway 13. In this incident, they were riding late at night, not uncommon, but when it's dark, riders do have to take extra precautions. "You have to [take precautions] because your range of vision is just not there. Obviously I don't go as fast. Leave yourself plenty of room to shut down if you need to," Ostert said. Even when hitting the trails during the daylight hours, Ostert and Antons know they have to put safety first. "I try to ride where I see there's already tracks. If I ride where there aren't tracks I'm very careful to use logic," said Antones. The details of the fatal accident are still under investigation. There have been other snowmobile incidents since last month's blizzard hit, but none had been fatal. On December 30, a 12-year-old boy was injured near Bertram when a car hit the snowmobile he was on. The boy survived after being treated for his injuries. Also on Christmas Eve, a Coggon man was taken to the hospital after a crash near Central City.

A month ago, Royal Scot Minerals Inc. abandoned its coal mine near Anjean in Greenbrier County. The company turned off an electric water treatment system. Acid mine drainage poured into Little Clear Creek, a trout stream that feeds the Meadow River.
State Division of Environmental Protection officials moved quickly. DEP inspectors heard about the problem on April 26, revoked the company's permit the next day, and restarted the water treatment system the day after that.
When Royal Scot received state mining permits, the company posted $3.1 million in reclamation bonds. The Little Clear Creek reclamation may cost $10 million or more, DEP estimates.
The extra $6.9 million is supposed to come from DEP's Special Reclamation Fund, or SRF.
But the fund is broke.
The SRF has $62 million less than what it needs to reclaim the mine sites currently covered by the program, according to the U.S. Office of Surface Mining's most recent count.
That estimate is nearly 4 years old.
After 1995, OSM stopped publishing SRF deficit estimates in its annual reports.
More recent OSM reports, however, show the problem is getting worse.
Each year, 2 acres of mines are abandoned for every acre the state cleans up with SRF money, according to OSM reports.
For every $1 in bond money the SRF collects, the fund spends $2 on reclamation.
Last week, OSM released a report that shows that, since 1992, the SRF spent an average of $700,000 per year more than it took in.
Last year, coal companies forfeited bonds for 64 mine sites covering 2,176 acres.
The state reclaimed 26 mine sites covering 1,106 acres.
Currently, the SRF has a backlog of more than 260 abandoned mines covering 10,000 acres
"Under current projections, the bond fund will not be sufficient to eliminate the backlog of unreclaimed forfeiture sites for 10 to 20 years without any consideration of other sites added for water treatment," OSM said in a 1997 report.
At least 100 forfeited mine sites have water problems, OSM said.
DEP officials do not publicly admit that there is a problem.
Last week, DEP Director Michael Miano issued a news release to tout the agency's response to the Little Clear Creek problem.
"It's a shame that some people still insist on being reckless toward the environment," Miano said. "I'm glad that we have the resources available and a program set in place to handle such actions."
Miano did not mention the SRF insolvency.
On Friday, Miano said, "I can't speak intelligently about the actuarial situation with that fund. I know we are working with that, and have met on that and discussed how we are going to meet our liabilities.

Historical Traveller Reviews of Kings Center Hotel
Great Value
from egammoGood hotel for its value
from TravelBug128The room was small but not too terrible. The staff were helpful but not too overly friendly. One gave me a lecture when I asked for a room away from the street. Breakfast was included for us, and it was good - eggs, hams, yogurts, juices, fruits, etc.
Overall I would recommend this hotel, and would stay there again.
Fantastic Hotel***
from jimmy1My room was fabulous, a four poster bed in every room, wonderul comforters and very comfortable beds. The rooms were spotless. The bathrooms were very nice also, and the whole hotel is very eco conscious!! (Green).
The breakfast which is included in the price was great! Couteous wait people and wonderful food.
When I was at the bar, reading my book unwiding, I met many people from all around the world and every one of them told me the same thing, "that they wished there were more of these hotel's around Europe so that they could stay in one where ever they went on their journey's".
I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone. I had never been in Germany before and this experience made my trip all the better.
Kristin Freeman
Good location, great value for your money
from A TripAdvisor MemberAlthough the hotel does not have any air conditioned, we felt no need for it at the time of our stay.
Great Hotel
from A TripAdvisor MemberTwo Poster Beds
from A TripAdvisor MemberPosh reception made us wonder if we had the right place! Friendly and helpful reception staff. Extremely clean rooms and bathrooms. Unusual two posted four poster bed (!) squashed into what was not a big room. Offers a good range of services - from Dry Cleaning to a Cocktail Bar. We got a good deal when we booked on xpedia.
Highly recommended as a base in the centre of Munich.
Excellent location and great room
from tbrooksjrvery nice place
from A TripAdvisor MemberGreat hotel
from A TripAdvisor Membertotally agree with previous reports
from colmilI cannot praise the hotel enough, I stay in hotels on a regular basis and this is the best! Spotlessly clean, wonderful staff, especially the young lady who was on reception this week on mornings, lovely smile, very efficient, unfortunately they do not have their christian names on their suits, only an initial and surname... .......
It was my 60th birthday yesterday, on our return there was some frssh fruit waiting in our room, a quarter bottle of sparkling wine and two glasses and card saying 'happy birthday! Brilliant marketing, and very welcome!
We got the best rate from Travelocity but no doubt this may change, just book it!
Top Local Tips for Munich
Tips Schloss/Nymphenburg's Neuschwanstein castle excursion is overrated - a lot of waiting around unless you are with a tour. Not worth the 2 hour train ride.
Free Walking tour By all means, take the "new Munich Tours" - free walking tour (costs only a "tip" and also take the same company's Dachau tour (19 euros) and you will be most fortunate if Megan is your guide. She was great!!
Make the most of your money! Get on a walking tour, and definitely get out and see Dachau. Make the most of the bakery stalls in the train stations - beautiful pastries and filled rolls for next to nothing - make the most of your Euro!

Allow to dry for at least 24 hours before refinishing. B. Stain Removal Using Oxalic Acid: Recommended for removing blue ink stains, iron stains and darkening or blackening of wood due to age or previous cleaning. NOTE: BEST TO USE IT WARM AND CONCENTRATED. 1. Dissolve crystals in hot water in a glass or porcelain container. 2. Apply the solution liberally to the surface using a clean, soft cloth or stiff bristle brush. 3. Allow to sit on the surface for at least 10 minutes. It may take longer (up to an hour) to achieve effective results depending on the type of stain and type of wood; agitate with a stiff bristle brush if necessary to aid in stain removal; reapply if necessary. 4. Thoroughly rinse the surface with clean, clear water. 5. Allow to dry for at least 24 hours before refinishing. C. Stain Removal Using Concentrated Hydrogen Peroxide (30%): Recommended for lightening woods or as a last attempt at removing a stain before resorting to replacement. NOTE: HYDROGEN PEROXIDE AT THIS CONCENTRATE IS THE STRONGEST OF THE THREE BLEACHES LISTED. IT IS TYPICALLY SOLD AS A TWO-PART KIT CONTAINING SODIUM HYDROXIDE. 1. Dampen the wood using a sponge soaked in clean, clear water. 2. Apply mixture of hydrogen peroxide and sodium hydroxide uniformly over the surface. Follow manufacturer's recommendations for application procedures and dwell time. END OF SECTION |
