This review is for the newly rebuilt Lompoc tavern not the old one...the old location was way better.
Was excited to check out the opening of the new Lompoc Tavern. Its in the same location as the New Old Lompoc on 23rd. I loved the old place, I guess because I'm a big fan of divey places with character. The new one sadly has a corporate feel to it....reminded me of a Famous Daves or Rock Bottom kind of. The other thing thats a bummer is they no longer have their patio which was in my opinion the best place to sit outside and drink good beer in the city. They now have like 2 or 3 tables outside but its right on the busy sidewalk by 23rd. Food and beers are of course still pretty decent, just not all that impressed with the new place. Glad they have other locations in town.

Great beers, great food, great new facility, great value, great happy hours. Service varies from acceptable to downright horrible. If I were the owner I'd can half the hipster douchebags who I've seen there. They're more concerned with making the next gig with their crappy band or macking on the cute girl at the bar to give a damn about the customers. Then again, if I could get away with it, those would probably be my priorities, too. Go for the great beers, superb food (wings, mole pulled pork soft tacos, fish and chips, and truffle fries come to mind) and deal with the PDX too-cool-for-school servers the best you can.

It's with sadness and sentimentality that I review a place that's about to be demolished. In mere days (following the blowout sendoff 'Lompoc-alypse'), the walls will come crashing down on this archaic, but altogether lovable, gem of a brewpub.
While New Old Lompoc has been around only since the late 1990s, its fairly shabby, notably leaning wood-framed building towards the north end of NW 23rd has been around since the early 20th century. Creaking and sloped wooden floors, walkways that are far too narrow, a snug little bar at its core and restrooms that are laughably antiquated lend to a charm that will be next to impossible to replace. Lompoc's demise has been known for a while locally (with brewing operations moving almost entirely to the sister 5th Quadrant location in 2011) so we've had ample time to say 'goodbye', but that doesn't make the loss of the pub any easier to accept. She will be missed.
So it's with some remorse that I admit to having visited NOL only a handful of times during its headier days; of recent note, there was a fun PIB wrap-up party in the shade of the outdoor patio last July. Of late, I've tried to squeeze in a couple visits a month (working closer helps a lot), taking in the sun-soaked picnic tables on nicer days and holing up in a cozier nook on the overcast ones. Walls are covered in vintage advertising, historic photos, homages to 'bald guys' and the like. During baseball season, Red Sox games dominate the tube. Quaint, yes... kitschy, not at all.
Beer selection is good, usually between 8-10 NOL beers, with some perrenial standards like C-Note or LSD or Condor Pale and rotating seasonals like their fresh-hopped gems or the recently enjoyed Baltic Porter. Prices are around $4.50/pint, but drop to a paltry $2.50 on 'Miser Mondays'.
Although I've been at least a half dozen times in the last 3 months (and will probably visit another time or two before Saturday's closing), I can't say I've sampled too much of the menu over the years: Frankly, I just order the new England clam chowder almost every time and am never disappointed.
Service has always been a touch above 'OK', sometimes harried and inattentive, sometimes cheerful and generous with sample pours and conversation. Kind of a crap shoot, but that's fine.
Sorry to see the place go (but the promise is that NOL will be back in some form in Summer 2013). Cheers & best wishes, NOL crew!

Met up with a friend here last week, she was unfortunately late, but the wait staff didn't seem too bothered by me taking up a table for a while, so I appreciated their patience. It seems that there had just been some sort of incident that caused the staff to throw somebody out... something about the lotto machines. I didn't see them myself, but having lotto machines really decreases hy interest in a place, they're pretty un-classy. The interior is sort of similar to the horsebrass, but not as nice. Overall the place seems a little run down. The beer was decent, I can't recall what I ordered, I think it was an ESB, and my friend had a golden ale. The service was generally pretty quick, and the staff was nice. The food is pretty generic pub food, but they served it well, so nothing to complain about. Overall, this is an interesting place to go, but considering the variety of places in portland to check out, I don't know that I'll go again.

Okay the service is bad. Not rude (which would preclude me from ever returning). Just inept. I now almost always sit at the bar with the often friendly and helpful bartenders. It seems like the regular waitstaff just doesn't care.
Anyway, the best thing is the very, very fair pinball machine. I love pinball but hate the machines that are rigged to eat the ball every 30 seconds. This one is very fun! Beer + pinball = HAPPY!
The beer is always amazing. I have never once tasted a Lompoc beer that I didn't think was very good (at least a B on the Beer Advocate system). The brewers seem to really take care in producing each beer and tweaking even the experimental brews for maximum pleasure and drinkability.
Since I'm vegetarian (mostly vegan) I rarely eat at brewpubs (owing to the lavish use of butter) so I cannot comment on the food, but friends tell me they like it better than most brewpub fare.
These guys always have a few rare and limited beers on hand, but the stars are the C-Note, Son of C (when available), and LSD. But pretty much everything they make is worthy of a taste.
Go for the beer. Go for the pinball.
* Of note: the back patio allows smoking (at least they did last time I went) and that is a big minus in my opinion... especially when it wafts into the pub and into the bar area.

Visited 8.12.2010.
I pride myself on providing truthful and accurate reviews of the beers and beer places I have sampled. I can honestly say I have never been so infuriated as I was on my first visit to this seminal Lompoc outpost.
I have very much enjoyed the Sidebar, the Hedge House, and have found the bar help and esp. the brewers pleasant and informative, easy to talk to and always willing to offer up a sample of their latest wares. Unfortunately, this locale's help takes on the ambience of the neighborhood-aloof, unfriendly and uncaring. I stood at the bar for over 5 minutes waiting to order up a pint, had multiple servers and the bartender walk by me several times without a nod of recognition, a hello- and this was at a late afternoon juncture where I'd estimate they were at about 15% capacity. I walked out once, and said to myself, I enjoy the beers here and went back in, and the same thing happened. One of the brewers was sitting at the bar and he noticed this whole episode, and the look on his face said he was very embarrassed.
While I really like Lompoc's beers (the C-Note and LSD are usually in my fridge) I found the service at this location deplorable at best and inexcusable at worst. That being said, there's a nice covered patio in the back, the main bar and restaurant area has a nice well worn in feel, and the food is above average. However, the use of a chalkboard to indicate what the seasonal beers are would have been nice, the menu said ask your server, but given the lack of service I walked out and vowed I will never come in here again. The bartender in particular should be ashamed, worst service in town. I'm looking forward to going back to the Hedge House and the Sidebar, but I will NEVER go back here again. An all-time low for lack of service.

The North Carolina Collection, part of the Wilson Special Collections Library, announces the 2013 "North Carolina Documentary Photography Award," a proactive approach to acquiring photographs that depict current events, topics, or places within the state that have future research value to users of the North Carolina Collection Photographic Archives (NCCPA). The North Carolina Collection will award $1,000 each to up to four UNC-Chapel Hill students (up to two undergraduate and two graduate students). To be eligible, undergraduates must be rising sophomores, juniors, or seniors during the summer of 2013; graduate students must not complete their degrees prior to the end of 2013 Fall Semester. A review panel comprised of UNC library staff will select awardees.
Applicants will submit documentary photography project proposals as self-directed work that enables them to explore an issue of interest and to communicate their results to others. Projects shall, to a greater or lesser degree depending on the topic, involve inquiry, design, investigation, research, scholarship, discovery, and writing. Students may address local, national, or international issues, but photographs must be made in North Carolina between 13 May and 16 August 2013. Applicants are encouraged to consider UNC's pan-campus theme for the years 2012 through 2014, "Water In Our World," which calls for the University and all of its members and resources to mobilize around the common issue of water. See http://watertheme.unc.edu for more information. Proposals on other topics, however, will be given equal consideration.
Submit all application materials on a CD-ROM or DVD in a clearly labeled jewel case.
Submissions must be received at the North Carolina Collection, west end of 2nd (main) floor in Wilson Library, by Friday, 22 March 2013, 5:00 P.M.
Award recipient(s) will be notified by Monday, 8 April 2013.
The primary award criteria will be the quality of the proposal, including:
Applicants may wish, but are not required, to draw upon subject matter represented in the NCCPA. For example, Don Sturkey and Billy Barnes photographed poverty in the state during the late 1960s for the Charlotte Observer and the North Carolina Fund, respectively. Paul Cuadros documented migrant workers in the early 2000s, primarily in the Chatham County. For a complete list of photographic collections in the NCCPA, see http://www.lib.unc.edu/ncc/pcoll/collections.html.
The North Carolina Collection Photographic Archivist will serve as a mentor to the award recipients during their projects. To reflect the depth and breath of coverage, award recipients must submit at least 300 exposures, either digital and/or film. Originals must be submitted as unaltered RAW digital exposures or as film negatives with proof sheets. Shooting JPEG is discouraged unless conditions merit. Photographers will select 25 final presentation images that may be cropped. Digital presentation images must be presented in DNG format and may be printed; presentation images from film negatives must be printed. All work must have identifying information using IPTC Core, and must be submitted no later than 6 September 2013. Students will be working as independent contractors, with awards given after submitting completed project.
The principal goals of the North Carolina Documentary Photography Project are the acquisition of photographic images of notable subjects for long-term preservation, and to make those photographs available for use by researchers using the NCCPA. To accomplish these goals, the NCCPA must preserve submitted photographs so that they will be accessible to researchers for generations. Awardees must therefore agree to make their work available to meet researchers' needs, which include a clear understanding of their ability to use photographs made through the project.
By accepting an award, photographers consent that photographs submitted for their projects will become a permanent part of the North Carolina Collection where it will be available to researchers of North Carolina history. Award recipients will have two options concerning copyright for their photographs. Option 1 is an unrestricted transfer of copyright to the NCCPA; option 2 allows photographers to retain copyright, yet permits the NCCPA to provide reproductions to researchers for scholarly use, and for commercial use with consent of the photographer so long as he/she responds to requests in a timely fashion. Award recipients will sign a detailed consent form outlining these terms.

Chimps may gain limited "person" status in Austria.
Ok, fine by me, so long as you don't call him a "person." He's a chimp!
My cat came across to me as a person, and I was very griefed the day she died (and for a while afterwards). No one can tell me she didn't have a personality, didn't get vexed at times, or hold grudges, attempt to manipulate, or communicate (purring, body language, and touch), or that she wasn't clevel enough to get what she wanted. I witnessed every human trait in her except two: higher thought and language.
While I would endorse any legislation towards protecting the rights of some animals (pets, chimps, etc.), I have to draw a line somewhere, as I am, as nature intended me, a meat-eater, and I'm a fan (to the detriment of my waistline) of Burger King.
I dunno - thoughts?

Behind the Scenes and In Front of the Veil with Dan Radcliffe and David YatesMovies
Some fantastic new behind the scenes photos are now online from the making of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. In these new and high res photos you can see many rare glimpses of the director David Yates at work, giving direction to his crew, to cast members such as Evanna Lynch (Luna) and Gary Oldman (Sirius Black) as well as shots of the Forbidden Forest set and shooting for Grawp, the Trio approaching the set for Hagrid's Hut with the blue screen in the background, a fantastic shot revealing the size of the Great Hall set with this photo of those in detention with Umbridge (Imelda Staunton), with another of Emma Watson as Hermione in same scene with 'I will not tell lies' clearly on her hand. Of note is this is dramatic photo of Mr. Yates speaking to Dan Radcliffe (Harry), sitting on the ground in front of the Veil in the Ministry of Magic, with Helena Bonham Carter as Bellatrix standing on the other side, just wow. Enjoy!
Thanks so much to our friends at Oclumencia!

Tracking Services
Web-based tracking services are the most common practice for measuring your traffic.
You simply copy and paste a small piece of JavaScript code provided by the service into the HTML of every page on your site. The code keeps track of everyone who visits the page and sends the data it records over the web to another website, where those results are tallied and displayed.
Google Analytics is a free web-based tracking service that is practically as powerful as any commercial traffic service. It's quick and easy to set up and comes with an intuitive dashboard. Just sign up for an account, paste the code on your pages, and visit the Google Analytics website any time you want to check on your traffic.
What is JavaScript?
We've assembled a list of the most popular web-based tracking services. Prices and features vary; we recommend you evaluate each service carefully and decide which one best meets your needs.
Google Analytics
The free Google tool is used by thousands of websites to track their visitors. It's easy to get started and the administration screen is fairly intuitive and powerful, although it is tailored to Google Adwords customers with emphasis on conversion rates and other customer metrics.
Clicky offers an intuitive interface and free plans for websites with less than 3,000 page views per day. For as little as $5 per month, you can upgrade to an account that will give you real-time tracking, something even Google doesn't do.
The free SiteMeter web counter service provides basic information about visits and visitors, browsers used to visit your site and referring URLs. It's updated constantly as people come to your site. In exchange, you must display a relatively unobtrusive Site Meter graphic on every page of the site. Site Meter's oddly colored tools and cluttered site interface can be difficult to use. You can also hide the required SiteMeter graphic from your users if you upgrade to "standard" service, which costs $7 per month.
As a SiteMeter user, you have the option of making your statistics public or private. Many sites let users view their traffic statistics. If your site enjoys healthy traffic, making your statistics public can help persuade advertisers that your site is a good investment.
StatCounter offers a clear interface, simple signup, and no requirement to display a link back to its site, even for its free package. Its robust analysis breaks down your current unique, returning and repeat visitors, as well as tracking statistics on incoming browsers and their resolutions, operating systems and countries of origin; the search engines and keywords they used to find your site; the referring links that brought them to your site, and more.
StatCounter's free service is aimed at websites with 250,000 pageloads per month or less and offers lifetime summary stats and a detailed analysis of your last 500 pageloads. .
Built-in Tools
Some content management systems have implemented traffic-tracking tools as part of their administrative interfaces. Most of these services are limited and will probably whet your appetite for more detailed information.
For example, if you use the independent blog software ExpressionEngine, some built-in site statistics are available, including limited data about the pages that have been visited, the refers to your site, and the total number of visitors.

Our Maui experience at Kahana Outrigger
This was our first visit to Maui and to the Kahana Outrigger. Ms. Cynthia Whitworth was very helpful in arranging the condo and very prompt in answering our questions. The directions for reaching the condo from the airport and entering it were very clear. The condo was very neat and the location exquisite-just as the photos describe. During our one week stay we only had one little minor problem-an AC unit in the bedroom was not working properly and it was immediately fixed. The condo was well stocked with cleaning supplies. The caretakers there were very attentive to our needs. The site manager was very friendly and cleaned the grounds everyday. The town of Lahaina is close by and has many restaurants and shops. The Kanapalli resort nearby also has an excellent shopping mall. Grocery stores are also nearby. The McDonald rest. is only a block away and a great place to get a cup of coffee at the start of a morning walk. Our only request is that the owner contact us and offer us deals for repeat stays. Many of us in our group would like to go back. We have no hesitation in recommending this place to visitors.

Ambulance bosses have urged people to take care as the county prepares for a heatwave.
South Central Ambulance Service (SCAS) urged people to avoid long periods in the sun from 11am to 3pm; to wear a hat, use suncream and drink at least two litres a day, avoiding alcohol and caffeine.
Those with medical conditions should take extra care and children and pets should not be left in vehicles, it said.
The Met Office yesterday warned of a heatwave in the "coming days".
Operations director for SCAS Mark Ainsworth said: "Over the last few months SCAS has been seeing a steady increase in calls.
"Weather conditions do have an impact on the amount and type of calls that we receive and therefore we would like to encourage members of the public to follow our advice."

VC's Zalmico Harmon named top player in WSC North
Ventura College point guard Zalmico Harmon has been voted Western State Conference North Division men's basketball Player of the Year.
The sophomore from Washington, D.C., averaged a team-high 15.9 points and led the WSC North in free throws made (171), was second in free-throw percentage (86.8 percent) and fourth in the state in assists (176).
His 35-point performance in the 90-78 home win over Los Angeles Pierce on Feb. 2 helped ensure the UC Santa Barbara commit will move on to Isla Vista with a championship. The Pirates split the WSC North title with Pierce.
Ventura College head coach Joey Ramirez was named WSC North Coach of the Year. The 1994 co-WSC North Player of the Year as a player, Ramirez restored the Pirates to the top of the standings in just his second year as head coach.
Harmon was joined on the All-WSC North first team by dynamic freshman teammates Ivan Dooley and Jaylin Airington.
Forward Jordan Garrett was Moorpark's lone first-team selection. The sophomore from Ventura High led the WSC North in field-goal shooting. His 65.6 percent was the eight-best figure recorded in the WSC since 1981.
Both of co-champion Los Angles Pierce's first-team selections, forward Codye Hatcher and guard Donte Williams, are transfers from Oxnard College.
The rest of the team included Demetrius Thomas, Devonne Nolan and Khufu Najee of third-place Hancock; Oscar Pedroso and Plamen Hristov of fourth-place Cuesta; and Michael Failla of sixth-place Santa Barbara City.
Honorable mention included guard Eric Mitchell and forward Anthony Morman of Ventura and point guard Shayan Boloor of Moorpark. Boloor is an Agoura High product.

[Journal of the Simplified Spelling Society 27 2000/1 pp19-22]
Spelling Reform - arguments against and for
Justin B RyeJustin B Rye has an MA in Linguistics from the University of Edinburgh, Scotland. He still lives in that city, and is currently a computer systems administrator at Datacash Ltd. A somewhat longer version of this article appears on his website. See Links.
Foreword.I believe that the flaws of the standard orthography are indefensible - but I recognize that it has the advantage of an extensive Installed User Base. Thus, it can afford to ignore criticism, in exactly the same manner as Fahrenheit thermometers, QWERTY keyboards, and certain software packages, which rely on conformism, short-termism, and laziness for their survival.
That said, though, just what is wrong with the idea of switching to something better? Anti-reformists come in thirteen basic flavours, which I summarize below, along with possible replies:
Objection 1: The Status Quo Fan.Our spelling system is traditional; if it was good enough for my grandparents, it's good enough for everybody! I refuse to learn any new system, whatever its supposed merits!
Reply: I'll have to try to persuade you it's a good thing. The old style gives GH over a dozen pronunciations: CallaGHan, cauGHt, doGHouse, EdinburGH, eiGHth, ginGHam, hiccouGH, houGH, KeiGHley, lonGHand, louGH, bouGH, straiGHt, touGH, yoGHurt. The new version is quicker, easier, more logical, and less cruel to children (or indeed the billions of adults doomed to learn English as a world language). Please try to be a bit more open-minded!
Objection 2: The Fonetics Phreak.Giving English a phonetic script, with one symbol for each sound, would produce a range of ridiculous ill-effects, such as: compound sounds like J (which is phonetically D + ZH) would have to be clumsily spelled out in full (so jay becomes dzhey). Trivial phonetic distinctions, as between the two kinds of A in champion's swag, or of T in tea strainer would require distinct spellings; and subtle dialectal vowel distinctions - as between Glaswegian and Bronx versions of cat - would further confuse matters. Do you want to? would have to be spelt the way it's pronounced - as one word, dzhawonnuh?.
Reply: Who said anything about a phonetic system? All we need is one that's roughly graphemic ("one reading per grapheme") and preferably phonemic ("one spelling per phoneme") and/or morphemic ("one spelling per morpheme").
In a phonemic system, the compound phoneme /ʤ/, which functions as a unit in the English sound system, can conveniently be spelt with the letter J. Phonetic variants of /a/ or /t/ are no concern of a well-designed script; dialectal cases - especially ones as inconsequential as that quoted above - are easy to handle (see Objection 11). If the individual words are pronounced in isolation as 'du, yu, wont, tu', nothing forces us to put the reduced versions in the dictionary (any more than we need glottal stops in the alphabet).
Objection 3: The Homophonophobe.If we spelled words as they're pronounced, confusion would reign (or rain) since homophones like fisher/fissure, minor/miner, two/to and session/ cession would become indistinguishable.
Reply 1: These words already are indistinguishable when spoken, but when did this fact last cause you any inconvenience in conversation? People naturally avoid ambiguities in speech unless they're trying to contrive a pun, so if you write as you speak homophones are no problem. Contrariwise, ambiguous spellings like bow, close, does, lead, live, minute, read, use, wind, wound currently are a problem; and such misleading homographs (or do I mean heterophones?) could be sorted out by the most moderate of spelling reforms.
Reply 2: There will be plenty of slack in the system to distinguish between fisher/fisyur, maynor/mayner; and as for cession, what does it mean, anyway? I'm not making these examples up, you know.
Objection 4: The Remington Salesman.Any phonemic script would need to provide distinct graphemes for each of the forty or so phonemes of English, which means seriously expanded typewriters! We'll need either ugly diacritics or entirely novel letters - for instance, shown (three phonemes, /ʃ/ + /oʋ/ + /n/) will have to become something like $Ùn!
Reply: At present, almost every letter of the alphabet is overstrained - A as in beAuty, B as in numB, C as in musCle, D as in hanDkerchief, E as in siEvEd, F as in oF, G as in Gnomonic, H as in Hour, I as in busIness, J as in Jaeger, K as in Knee, L as in coLonel, M as in Mnemonic, N as in damN, O as in peOple, P as in Pneumonic, Q as in Quay, R as in comfoRtable, S as in iSle, T as in husTle, U as in bUild, V as in Volkslied, W as in Wry, X as in rouX, Y as in mYrrh, Z as in capercailZie! But in a reform, why not use two-letter graphemes (as in 'sh-ow-n'!)? That way there are more than enough possibilities; we can even retire Q, X, and that ugly diacritic, the apostrophe! One new vowel symbol would be handy; I'd go for Scandinavian-style slashed Ø as in Bjørk.
Objection 5: The Culture Vulture.This revised spelling scheme looks completely alien to English orthographic traditions. If schoolchildren are taught only the new version, we'll lose touch with our literature; our cultural heritage will be lost unless kids can read Shakespeare in the original!
Reply 1: Aren't you overreacting? We'll phase it in slowly, so there's plenty of time to reprint the classics - most of the editing required is simple search-and-replace work. Compare the gradual process of metrication. Other languages manage spelling reforms once a generation; and the Japanese manage several very different writing systems in parallel.
Reply 2: Try to read Shakespeare "in the original". Henry VI Part 3 (III/2 91--2) goes:
I am a subiect fit to ieast withall,The sixteenth-century pronunciation was:
But farre vnfit to be a Soueraigne.
"OY AHM UH SOOBJEK FIT TOE JAIST WITHALAnd remember, he never once spelt his name Shakespeare!
Objection 6: The Speed-Reeder.Adult readers recognize whole words by their overall silhouettes, not by decomposing them into the sounds. What's the point of improving the correspondence of sounds and symbols? It'll only mean we have to relearn the silhouettes! (And then of course we'll have to go through the whole thing all over again the next time the language changes...)
Reply: Fluent reading involves three skills:
(1) Word-anticipation, guessing what will come next on the basis of context. This is what speed-reading really depends on, and it's essentially independent of the writing system involved.
(2) Word-recognition, treating words (or occasionally syllables) as arbitrary units to be memorized. This can be a useful skill once mastered, but a painful one to acquire - ask any Japanese kid. The way the current orthography forces learners to handle many common words as single arbitrary glyphs (doesn't one though?) is a stumbling-block many schoolchildren never really get over.
(3) Word-analysis, handling words as collections of sounds. Even though English makes it unreliable, this is the basic strategy for beginners, and still a constituent of any truly literate adult's reading skills - does the word squilliform give you any trouble? You may not consciously spell out (eg) the word handbag as H-A-N-D-B-A-G, but if it was just a silhouette you'd have to learn it separately from handbag (look closely at those letter shapes!).
The upshot is that spelling reform might be briefly awkward for word-recognizers, but would eventually help even them - if only because it allows more hieroglyphs on a page! For children (and many, many adults), it would be a huge, immediate, and permanent improvement. Or at least, as good as permanent: the current orthodox system has already outlived its best-before date by half a millennium, so we can leave the next reform for Buck Rogers to worry about.
Objection 7: The Crossword-Puzzler.What about a spelling reform's incidental effects on word-games, abbreviations and so on? If the dictionary contains more K's and Z's than D's and H's, the scrabble-players are going to riot!
Reply: Ah, yes, a much more intelligent point. (OK, I admit it, it's a plant; I've never seen it considered before, but I thought it deserved airing.) Scrabble-players will have to choose between "historical" or "recalibrated" Scrabble; the rest of us will just have to get used to E.U. as the Y(uropian). Y(union), K.O.s as N(ok)-A(wt)z, the C.I.A. as the S(entral) I(ntelijens) E(yjensi), and a G.H.Q. as a J(eneral) H(ed)-K(worterz). A.I.D.S. may still be A.I.D.S., but this is no longer the same as the word eydz. Since any serious reform would also change the names of the letters, even the unaltered initialisms may be hard to recognize in speech. A.I., for instance becomes, Ah Ee. If you think that's confusing, count yourself lucky I'm not reforming the Phoenician-derived alphabetical order!
Incidentally, I.D., O.K. and many others (especially tradenames) are already anomalies, not standing for any particular real series of English words; and acronyms such as laser, quango or ufo are effectively independent of their original forms too. Do we make it aydi, leyzer or I.D., L.A.S.I.R.? And as for G.N.U. ("Gnu's Not Unix"), I don't particularly care what happens in these cases; but the marketing director of I.C.I. might.
Objection 8: The French Teacher.The orthodox system, which spells qualifications and changes exactly as in French, is very useful for those who know French and want to learn English, or vice-versa. Writing those words as, say, kwolifikeysyonz, ceynjiz will make polyglottism even rarer!
Reply: True, our Norman-influenced orthography is a bridge between English and French. But why force everyone to learn it as the only spelling system for English? Most Asian (or even Scandinavian) learners of English care little for French; and Texans would be better off with a bridge towards Spanish. Personally, I would have been happy to learn a bit about Anglo-Norman during French O- and A-level, but nobody wanted to tell me anything about it then!
Additionally, remember that:
(1) Medieval French isn't Modern French. The pronunciation of the two examples above are barely recognisable: "Kali-Feekass-Yawng, Shahngzh".
(2) Mediaeval English isn't Modern English. The biggest change is the Great Vowel Shift, which is responsible for our pronunciation of A E I O U as "Eh Ee Eye Oh Yew" (as in no other writing system on the planet), rather than approximately "Ah Eh Ee Oh Oo" (as in Old English, Finnish, Latin, Indonesian, Swahili... etc). The first hurdle for Latin teachers is usually to persuade pupils that (eg) dei is "Day-Ee", not "Dee-Eye". A spelling reform that made English less insular would be a great help here.
Some medieval Norman spellings did not make sense even at the time, by the way. Witness the Norman scribes' use of: Cosmetic O in place of U in cOme, lOve, tOngue, and many others where they thought a U would look ugly in clerical handwriting (too many consecutive vertical strokes). Even worse was the way the Normans applied Romance spelling habits to a Germanic language. "Soft C" as in Cell would make sense in French, because the hard Latin C had come to be pronounced /s/. Germanic /k/, represented by C in Old English, didn't soften like this. This gave us confusions such as Celt, sCeptic, Coelacanth! The list goes on.
Objection 9: The Bon-Mot Aficionado.English is full of vocabulary items borrowed from other languages - some fully naturalized, some just temporary visitors. This is largely because its anything-goes attitude to spelling places no restrictions on words like cinquecento Fräulein or connoisseur. If we reform these, their sources will become unrecognizable! Besides, what are we going to do with names like Einstein, Munich, or Caesar (and come to that, Rye)?
Reply: English is hospitable to immigrant words because it has simple morphology, rich phonology and a cosmopolitan tradition. Spelling is irrelevant - witness the words fatwa, glasnost and futon, taken from languages that don't even use the same writing system as we do. My policy on imports would be:
(1) Words that retain foreign citizenship are immune to English spelling rules, and are spelt as in the source language, but italicized to tell naive readers that (for instance) Fräulein isn't pronounced "Fraw-Leen". They may not be able to guess the pronunciation, but that problem will if anything be reduced by the reform. Some imports may have debatable transcriptions, either because of changes Back Home (technically it's chateau - no circumflex accent since the recent French reform) or doubt about the best roman form (Koran or Qur'an? Shinto or Sintoo?).
(2) Words which have made English their permanent home must conform to its rules. If there really is such a word as connoisseur, it's an English one with no special right to a funny spelling - the French say connaisseur. The same applies one way or another to all the "French" words and phrases in the following list: blancmange, bon viveur, double entendre, epergne, locale, morale, nom-de-plume, papier-mâché, resumé, table d'hôte. Foreign-language placenames can ignore the reform, but many places have English names independent of the forms used by their inhabitants. Spain, Munich, Peking are English words, and so get reformed (Speyn, Myunik, Piykinh) no matter what the locals call them.
(3) Archaisms can be treated as foreignisms, and personal names can be included in this class. Your birth certificate may be regarded as definitive. Mr Geoffrey Ewan Quinn won't necessarily have to re-monogram all his possessions as the property of Mr Jefri Yuan Kwin. However, new names should be spelt sanely; and anyone who wants to avoid constantly telling people 'Well, okay, it's pronounced "Fanshaw" but it's spelt Featherstonehaugh should switch. I for one would be perfectly happy to become a romanized Ray.
Objection 10: The Etymological Determinist.Spelling wrestling as we do is a useful guide to the word's provenance. In its Old English form, the word was indeed pronounced with an audible W, T and G. If we change our spelling, we'll lose all these clues!
Reply: If etymology is so important that primary school children are forced to master a Medieval Reenactment writing system on this basis, why are they never actually taught even the basics of linguistic history? Surely any kid who has gone to the trouble of learning an etymological spelling for wrestling (etc) should be entitled to go on and take the subject at GCSE level! But somehow I suspect that most people find etymology supremely unimportant in their lives. If anyone ever needs to know the origin of the word resling, there will still be dictionaries about. Come to that, they will be easier to use (you can find the word under R) and have more room for etymologies. (They will need less room for pronunciation guides!)
Besides, the "etymologies" in English spellings are often wrong, in addition to misleading readers about pronunciation. Consider the list aCHe, agHast, aiSle, aLmond, ancHor, bUry, (musical) cHords, coLonel, couLd, crumB, deliGHt, dingHy, foreiGn, gHastly, gHerkin, gHost, hauGHty, iSland, lacHrymose, postHumous, Ptarmigan, QUeue, rHyme, rHumb, roWlocks, Scissor, sCythe, sovereiGn, spriGHtly, thumB, tongUE, Whole, Whore. All the capitalized letters are spurious, having often been deliberately added as "improvements" by incompetent scholars. I'm not saying we should necessarily wipe out such etymological traces as the specific unstressed vowels in nonadministrative or even the 'Greek' Phs in philosopher (which can all convey useful morphological information); just that etymology isn't one of an orthography's main concerns.
Objection 11: The Cockney Patriot.The trouble with a more phonologically representative spelling system is that it would reveal how nonstandard dialects interpret the graphemes of written English. Tutor for instance is "TOODUR" to a Nebraskan, "TEWTRR" to an Aberdonian and "CHOO'AH" to a Cockney; woe betide any speaker of BBC English wanting to impose a lah-di-dah "standard spelling dialect" on the inhabitants of the East End!
Reply: At last we're getting to the non-trivial arguments! Yes, there's an important problem here that the system has to deal with carefully. But its nature is still obscured by several layers of misunderstanding, which I'll try to handle quickly:
Misunderstanding 1: This is a spelling reform, not a speaking reform!
Misunderstanding 2: Currently, everyone has to learn a "standard spelling accent" that has been dead for centuries. (If it's only pronunciation we're talking about, rather than grammar, the linguistics term is "accent", not "dialect".) At least becoming bilingual in Cockney and BBC English might be useful.
Misunderstanding 3: Why assume the spelling accent would be a posh one? It would have to be a sort of artificial "Highest Common Factor" archiphonology everyone could agree on.
There are four ways in which accents can vary, all of which can be accommodated in a reasonably phonemic spelling system:
- Phonetic (or "realizational") variation. Trifling but obvious features like the way Cockneys pronounce bay almost as "BUY" (while buy becomes more like "BOY" and boy like "BOOY"). Cockneys have no trouble distinguishing them and lining them up correctly with the written forms, so this is irrelevant to the orthography.
- Phonemic (or "systemic") variation. Added or lost distinctions, such (Cockneys pronounce thin like fin). If the spelling makes more distinctions than you do, you can ignore them while reading, and your difficulties in learning to write will be nothing new or serious ("Hmm, is it spelled Theft or Feft?"). On the other hand, if the system makes fewer distinctions, you'll have serious trouble reading ("Hmm, does it mean three or free?"). The lesson I draw from this is that the spelling system should make all the available phonemic distinctions - and not just the ones the Queen makes.
- Phonotactic (or "distributional") variation. This is variation dependent on the phonetic context, like the way Cockneys - and in fact the English generally - drop any R-sound that isn't followed by a vowel (so that larder = "LADA"). Again, the orthography should side with those who keep the distinctions clear, which in this case means spelling a lot of words with an R omitted by BBC newsreaders.
- Lexical (or "selectional") variation. Where these are real regional standards rather than merely outbreaks of "spelling-pronunciation" (like saying "CUP-BOARD" for "KUBBERD"), they have as much right to be tolerated as alternative spellings as they have to be tolerated as alternative pronunciations. Obviously, you ought to be consistent, but if your recipes refer to tomeyto they will communicate at least as effectively as if you anglicized it to tomahto.
Objection 12: The Morphophonologoster.A purely phonemic system (obeying the principle of One Spelling Per Phoneme) would often mean giving divergent spellings to different forms of a single morpheme, concealing relationships between words in contexts such as:
- Cats and dogs, which would have to become kats and dogz, with two different plural markers;
- Stress-shifting: Photograph - photoggrapher - photographic (or less dramatically, REal - reALity);
- "Softening": critic/critiCism, analogue/ analoGy, fuse/fuSion etc.
- Vowel-shift: sanity/sAne, obscenity/obscEne, divinity/divIne, conical/cOne, punish/pUnitive, etc.;
Reply: Absolutely - the morphemic principle (One Spelling Per Morpheme) conflicts with the phonemic system and is worth making concessions over. Affixes that still work as productive processes, like plural -S or past tense -ED, should be given consistent single spellings wherever possible (including words such as pianos/potatoEs, publicly/toxicALly, forty/foUrteen where the conventional spellings are flagrant breaches of this principle). Likewise, compromises can be found for the stress-shift and consonant-softening cases, though there is room for debate about how far it should be allowed to complicate things.
Foreign languages - even those with exemplary orthographies - flout this principle all the time. Portuguese doesn't exactly signpost the link between naçäo and nacional - and Welsh doesn't even enforce stable initial letters: nation is cenedl, but in a nation is yng nghenedl! Stress-shift is troublesome only if the unstressed "schwa" sound is treated as a phoneme in its own right needing to be uniformly represented with a special unique symbol. But accents vary widely in where they use schwas - for instance mine keeps the I-sounds in bIzarre, pidgIn distinct from the schwa-sounds of bAzaar, pidgeOn (a distinction rarely allowed for in US spelling reform proposals).
It makes more sense to write unstressed syllables with the normal range of vowel symbols, and rely on the reader to apply appropriate schwaing rules. While I'd be happy to compromise on fuSion and its many relatives, which are easy to accommodate, I am unconvinced by the idea of special treatment for "softening" C and G. Are they really live phonological processes? The suffix -IC hardly deserves a special spelling rule of its own to cover "IKAL/ISSITY".
Vowel-shifted doublets in particular need no special privileges. With so many cases - I could also quote natural/nAture, recess/recEde, senility/senIle, colony/colOnial, humble/hUmility - it should be self-evident no matter how we spell it that (eg) "short I" is often related to "long I". It would be a step forward if English-speakers recognized this explicitly, rather than just vaguely taking the two sounds to be "the same thing". Where do we stop? There are plenty of morphemic links that are concealed by the Anglo-Norman orthography. Should we insert rules into the spelling system to connect such crypto-doublets as abound/abundant, destroy/destruction, fool/folly, join/junction, ordain/ordination, receive/reception, solve/solution, voice/vocal?
Objection 13: The Politician.All this talk is pointless. The Anglophone nations are too lazy, ignorant and superstitious; even if you were world dictator, you'd never get them to cooperate on a project that involved this much work and was this insulting to all their ludicrous national traditions. Americans think any attack on their honor is un-American, Brits are still stuck in the Middle Ages, and Australians of course think literacy's for poofs... Besides, none of them can think straight about phonological issues, largely because their brains are hopelessly clogged with Anglo-Norman delusions.
Reply: Well, I'm certainly glad I didn't say that ...

What Principals are saying
"This year, our school went through our five year accreditation and during the student interviews, the students consistently spoke about how wonderful their experience with Discovery Clubs was. I would also like to add that the Discovery Clubs staff was a good group of dedicated volunteers and these individuals have made a significant change in the lives of our students."
- Mr. Taylor W. Greene, Jr., Principal, Hill Elementary School
"Adult volunteers have shown care and concern for our students by encouraging them to always practice good behavior, have respect for others and for themselves. The activities are designed to provide life skills and positive growth and development skills. Students have shown by their actions, that they are very receptive of the services and activities provided through this organization."
- Ms. Thelma Owens, Principal, Hemphill Elementary School
"On behalf of the students and staff at Chalkville Elementary School we thank your volunteers for coming into our school. I have heard nothing but positive comments from students, parents and teachers about Discovery Clubs. I am also so thankful for the opportunity that has been provided to our children who participate in Discovery Clubs. I look forward to the expansion into other grades. Thank you again for all you do."
- Mr. Rod Johnson, Principal, Chalkville Elementary School
History of Discovery Clubs
In 1994, Mr. John Glasser founded Better Basics, an in-school, literacy tutoring program that is now available in 20 Alabama counties. As the reading program expanded to more public school children, Mr. Glasser came to realize that a large percentage of these children had never been in a church nor heard the Gospel. Mr. Glasser's personal burden for these children began to grow.
From a 2001 U.S. Supreme Court ruling allowing public school principals to invite organizations into their school building before and after regular school hours, Discovery Clubs of Alabama was born. In 2003, Mr. Glasser expanded his vision and founded Discovery Clubs of Alabama, Inc., with a pilot program at Gate City Elementary ministering to 40 children with 14 volunteer mentors from Covenant Presbyterian Church.
Today, Discovery Clubs has more than 400 trained volunteer mentors reaching over 1,000 children with the Gospel and life values in many public schools. Discovery Clubs is now a part of the Jimmie Hale Mission ministries and has many partnering churches of numerous denominations throughout the metropolitan Jefferson and Shelby Counties.
"We are extremely excited about the merger with Discovery Clubs. What an awesome ministry to be able to take the Gospel message to the children at our local schools. I'm convinced that our partnership will strengthen both ministries and prove to be a preventative measure that will hopefully help keep these children from darkening the doors of the Jimmie Hale Mission later in life."
- Tony Cooper, Executive Director, Jimmie Hale Mission

I purchased the original Salisbury Vinyl Album at a PX in Korea; while in the military. I held on to the album for years until losing my home to a fire. I am a HUGE Uriah Heep fan and saw them live 7 times. Over the years I had replaced some of my Heep albums with CDs; but never really searched out Salisbury. For some reason, the album popped into my head and I just went nuts craving it. The title song "Salisbury" is a masterpiece, showing the individual talents of each member in the group. I will cherrish this CD forever. I thoroughly enjoy listening to it every time I drive somewhere in my car. If you are a HEEP fan; I highly recommend this one. It is one of their best.

Sometimes the first is the best. Lady in Black is one of the best rock songs of all times. Uriah Heep has it's own unique slot in rock history. I got the LP shortly after it's release and a copy of it has been a staple in my collection ever since. Buy this CD!!
I love this album from beginning to end. You can really sit back and get lost in it. My favorite cut is "Time to Live". What a finely written song and you know what it is about. Byron sings clearly and with great diction on all cuts but I love "Time to live" best……great wah wah guitar as well. Every cut here is clean and you can hear all instruments clearly. What else can I say. I am also a Hensley fan, especially "Proud words on a dusty shelf"…."From time to time" being my favorite on that one.
Do yourself a favor and buy this. In fact, I recommend the first five studio albums from these guys. Really ahead of their time and taking their name from a Dickens novel like Jethro Tull did, gives them mystique. Great band, then anyway.
I first heard the song Salisbury on an old "underground" FM station back in the early 70s. That song got a lot of playtime back then; it was one of the first "epic" songs that involved a symphony orchestra along with lots of great guitar work and vocals. I liked it so well, I went out and bought the vinyl. It took awhile, but finally it's out on CD. Lady in Black and High Priestess are also great "flash back" songs. I saw this group live at Kent State Univ.; they were touring w/Ten Years After. At the time, I much preferred TYA, but now, after all these years I can finally listen to different bands and not feel the need to compare them….They all had their unique sound, song selections, and strengths. This CD gets plenty of play time at my house! And, I can listen to the Salisbury cut over and over. Good stuff from a group that wasn't around that long, wasn't all that popular at the time, but now, can fairly be considered to be one of the better innovators and heavies from that era. I gave it 5 stars for the Salisbury cut alone, it's worth buying the album for that one song…the other songs are just added enjoyment!
classic rockers and younger listeners should enjoy this second effort from the under-rated unapprecitaed uriah heep. i actually bought this to replace my vinyl copy and wasn't dissapointed. memorable songs that stand up to time. "high priestess", "lady in black", simon the bullet freak". a very strong recording that utilized early stereo effects and over-dubbing. (remember it was 1971.) over-the-top vocal arrangements makes it work. title track is a simply "brilliant"! totally wicked! ahead of their time. buy the expanded version. queen and the darkeness owe a lot to these guys.

After a drag-out election in 2010 that ended with a ballot recount, the bid for New York's Seventh District seems tame by comparison for voters heading to the polls on Nov. 6.
Now, first-term Sen. Jack Martins, R-Mineola, who defeated Democratic incumbent Craig Johnson in the close 2010 race, faces off against Daniel Ross, D-Manhasset.
The former mayor of Mineola, Martins says he is committed to fiscal integrity, tax relief and job creation, as well as mandate relief for schools and local government. Ross, a captain with the Manhasset-Lakeville Fire Department and automobile sales manager, says he is devoted to strengthening education and job creation, and adds that he takes issues about the environment, safety and equality very seriously.
District: The Seventh Senate District covers Albertson, East Williston, Floral Park, Garden City Park, Great Neck, Herricks, Hicksville, Lake Success, Manhasset, Manorhaven, Mineola, New Hyde Park, Old Westbury, Port Washington, Roslyn, Sands Point, Stewart Manor, Westbury and Williston Park.

1. There's no doors in the "rooms", just a curtain that separates them instead. 2. The place is in the first floor of a building with many bars around. Result: your sleep will be afected by the music on the streets and also if someone turn of a light in the room in front. So, if you consider having a good night of sleep, think about some other place. I woke up in the middle of the night in 2 of the 3 nights I stayed there. :(

MYRTLE BEACH, SC (WMBF) – The weather is changing the pattern of blooming on the Grand Strand, affecting allergy season.
Every allergy season is different, and this year, doctors say it is more concentrated. Many people who do not usually suffer from allergy symptoms could find themselves coughing and sneezing through the spring.
A warmer winter had trees pollinating earlier than usual, covering cars and making many people pack the pharmacy aisles for over the counter medicine.
"You'll see different things blooming according to what the temperature patterns are," explains Nicholas Pennings, D.O., a family practitioner with Access Medical Plus.
While warm weather pushed pollen from trees earlier, a colder start to spring is delaying grass growth.
"Pretty soon, grass will be releasing allergens," says Dr. Pennings.
Meaning, this allergy season could have you sneezing even longer. However, it is not just allergies making you feel under the weather.
"Right now, we have both cold and allergies happening. It's important to distinguish between both cold and allergy symptoms," explains Dr. Pennings.
According to Dr. Pennings, both will give you a stuffy nose, cough and congestion. The different is itchiness versus achiness. Aches and pains are a sign of a cold, which should be treated by a doctor. But, some allergies can be relieved by over the counter medicine.
Dr. Pennings says most medicine sold in a pharmacy for allergies should make you feel better within 4-5 days.
"When you're not able to control it [your allergy symptoms] with those, you need to consider allergy injections or other types of treatments," says Dr. Pennings.
According to the staff at Access Medical Plus, over-the-counter medicine covers your symptoms, but does not cure them. Shots and treatments can build up your immune system over time so you are no longer affected by allergies.
For those looking for a natural treatment, doctors recommend you have some local honey every day. The closer the honey is made to your house, the better. Those bees are making the honey with the same pollen that is giving you allergies. So, doctors say, over time your body will not be as affected by them.

The Kentucky State University Model Schedule commonly called the General Records Schedule, is a tool for the staff and faculty of the Kentucky's public universities and KCTCS institutions to use when managing the records in their offices. It lists common records series created by most units in the university, gives an assessment of their value by indicating when (and if) those records should be destroyed. The General Records Schedule provides administrative and support staff with the necessary information needed to administer unit records in an efficient and cost-effective manner. The records schedule is maintained, revised and approved by the Kentucky Department for Libraries and Archives in conjunction with the university records officers who meet quarterly. The WKU Archivist and Records Officer is authorized to retain any record that he or she deems to have archival value.
