Mary J. Blige - I Am
Artist: Mary J. Blige
Producer: Stargate
Album: Stronger With Each Tear
Avg Rating: 4.3 ( 46 votes )
There have been many pretenders to the throne, but there's still only one queen of R&B, and her name is Mary J. Blige. Mary's a woman in an industry full of girls, and on her new single I Am she's not showing any signs of slowing down. Written by perennial hitmaker Johnta Austin and newcomer Ester Dean and produced by Norwegian super-duo Stargate, I Am opens with lush orchestration that jumps into a bouncing beat sure to have your head-nodding. As always, the real story here is Mary J. and her epic voice. There's still no one who can break it down like Mary (apologies to Keyshia Cole), but her biggest strength may be her ability to hold back, letting the track breath in all the right places. Long story short, I Am's going to be a hit, and it deserves all the acclaim it gets. I dare anyone on the Booth to disagree. Mary's new album Stronger With Each Tear is due to hit our eardrums on December 20. Happy holidays indeed.

On average, employees at Rockwell Collins give their company a 3.7 rating out of 5.0 - which is 3% lower than the average rating for all companies on CareerBliss. The happiest Rockwell Collins employees are Senior Systems Engineers submitting an average rating of 4.2 and Operations Managers with a rating of 4.0.
"I was with Rockwell Collins, Hyderabad, India. The company has got its own image in Aviation sector. It is spread globally. It maintains good employee ethics and is always appreciable."
"Great people's company to work for. Very friendly."
"A very good place for an entry level engineer wanting to obtain experience working in the aircraft avionics industry. Very poor management at all levels who do their best to prevent you from doing your job and getting things done. Project engineers generate schedules that make them look good (very little time or resources required to design and deliver a product) but a nightmare for individuals actually performing the work. Requirements constantly change requiring hours of rework, however, delivery date remains fixed. Engineers working on the project get blamed for not meeting unreasonable deadlines."
"Rockwell Collins is a world leader in innovative Avionic products."
"I have worked for Rockwell Collins\ARINC for over a year as a contractor and while I like my job it is limited by the fact that I am a contractor. The company is great to work for but my role is, as I said, limited."
"I have worked for Rockwell Collins for 15 years as an electronics technician. I have had a good experience working there, with a few exceptions, which is the reason I went back to school to finish my BS. I would recommend working here to anybody."
"I've worked for Rockwell Collins for many years after being caught in an acquisition. In general, the company is a fantastic place to work with great opportunity."
"I have been with this company in excess of 10 yrs. I have been told by upper management that I should have been given a promotion years ago. There is a high turnover of management in my area and every time there is a new manager it's like starting over again. There is no complete training in my area. My reviews have reflected private conversations I had with management and have been used against me. I feel this company discriminates against those with disabilities and allows NO advancement."
"Rockwell is a strong aviation company that I have worked for the last 8 years. They are in a competitive market that is evolving and changing quickly."
"I have worked at Rockwell Collins for almost 10 years and there are many opportunities for improvement in the current engineering environment."
"When I worked for Airshow, Inc which was later acquired by Rockwell Collins. Airshow had a great company culture. I wouldn't mind working for this company again if there's an opportunity to do so."
"Management lacked technical knowledge to accurately schedule completion. Project seriously underbid resulting in pressure to work extra hours."
"I have been working since 2008."
"Good company to work for. Work life balance and diversity are of high value to the company."
"You get what you put in basically."

Re: Course to steer at a given speed.
To answer your question if you are calculating the CTS from a known current and a known boat speed. the current triangle is a snapshot of an hour.
Plot your DR course..Or desired course to your destination. Then plot the Set and drift of the current from your starting point ( currents are always given in "True" direction) That current line is an hour long..( use miles to represent kn. ) now plot a line from the end of the set and drift line....that represents your boat speed for an hour..and swing it back to your desired track. Plot the point where it intersects and then measure the distance from the starting point along your DR. That new distance will represent your true speed or the speed you will make good..( how far you will have gone in an hour)
You can then figure out how long it will take to make the entire trip, given your speed made good.
Of course, this is all assumes that your boat speed and the strength and direction of the current all remain constant, which is rarely the case, especially if you are sailing. But I think this is the answer to the question you are asking?
IF you're sailing with a current setting you, you may also want/need to add a few degrees of leeway into the formula depending on the strength of the wind.
You can decide what you want to use as a Course to steer..( true, mag, compass etc. ) and make the appropriate calculations...just remember that currents are given in True degrees.

Sto-Kent has been wearing the CityVoter Best Bowling Facility badge of honor in Akron-Canton for the last three years. Strap on a pair of freshly sanitized bowling stilettos, find your favorite three-fingered pin-seeker, and shuffle to the greased-up lane for 20+ frames of bowling shenanigans. Once the pins have been pinsploded, head outside for a round of mini golf Sto-Kent style. Use the game to practice putting, challenge coworkers for microwave rights, or test AstroTurf's resistance to hot, steamy tears.
Lasers flash across a 4,000-square-foot arena. Bumper boats splash against each other in a 135,000-gallon lake. An elastic EuroBungy harness flings bouncers skyward for death-defying flips. These are just a few of the attractions and activities at Fun 'n' Stuff, where families can also fill their days by racing go-karts, climbing a rock wall, or gliding around a rink on rented roller skates. Guests who want to breathe in fresh air can putt through two 18-hole mini golf courses, whack balls in five hardball and four softball cages, and slide down a 24-foot inflatable slide. The littlest visitors play in a ball pit, whereas the Extreme Looping Bikes send older ones soaring through the air, just like the majestic eagle they rode to their middle-school graduation.
Putt-Putt Fun Center's diminutive diversions pack a full-size dose of afternoon entertainment for fun-seeking families and putt-putt enthusiasts alike. Grab a putter and whack dimpled balls into 18 holes spread across three mini golf courses. Play the angles and employ your secret mini swing to achieve that satisfying ball-in-cup clink while keeping score in pencil, an erasable alternative for situations requiring mulligans or tactical alterations of your opponent's stroke numbers. Children 5 and younger can play at Putt-Putt Fun Center for $1, so feel free to bring the entire family for a relaxing day of club swinging.
Happy shouts float across Swings-N-Things Family Fun Park, whipping out of the mouths of captains ricocheting off one another in bumper boats. The satisfying clunk of colorful spheres falling into holes on the mini-golf course perks up ears in the sprawling complex of indoor and outdoor attractions. Patrons frolic across the park?s two outdoor mini-golf courses before practicing their aim in a laser shootout game, and children ages 10 and younger scramble their socked feet over slides and rides inside the Kids Korner indoor play area. Swings-N-Things Family Fun Park is easily accessible from the area's major highways.
At night, Chip's Clubhouse looks like a glowing jungle. Massive trees hang over a labyrinth of outcroppings, crashing waterfalls, and sand traps. During the day, the mini-golf course reveals park-like terrain in a brighter light, highlighting its winding brick-lined path of putt-putt challenges. Players vie for the course par of 40, but will only succeed if they can manage to block out the distracting beauty of the nearby waterfalls and keep their golf ball from stopping midroll to smell the flowers nestled on the fringes.

Live in Leiden by Der Blutharsch is the 3rd album in a series of live recordings - after "Live at The Monastery" and "Live in Copenhagen". Live in Leiden was recorded at "The Night of Confusion" held September 28th 2oo4 at legendary venue LVC (where already artists like Nico performed) and was the "most cntroversial" concert in the 40 years history of this venue. Nevertheless, this night was a huge success and this recording is a document of this night. At the same time it is the last live recording of the "old" Blutharsch - a small reminder about what Der Blutharsch was dreaded for before they morphed into "era two" and turned into a dark psychedelic kraut monster. This is a great live document of a concert of the thee band who invented "martial industrial" as well as "military pop" - a MUST of all die hard fans of this genre as well as for people who want to know why this band once has been considered "dangerous".

You need a bumper sticker that says

There is something about firing 4,200 thirty millimeter rounds/min that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
"Those eight tiny bullets can cause alot of heartbreak before the pistol finds its way to the river"
And that's exactly where many go. I used to scuba dive in the Spokane River in (where else) Spokane, WA., and it was common to find firearms of all types on the bottm, particularly beneath bridges. Some had only been there for hours (no rust, little sediment). A call to the Cops went out unless the firearm happened to be a rusted chunk.

Independent Surveillance Review Issues Call for Evidence
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
Following its first meeting, the Independent Surveillance Review (ISR) is now inviting written submissions from a range of organisations and individuals to inform the panel.
The Independent Surveillance Review (ISR) Panel, convened by the Royal United Services Institute, held its first meeting on Wednesday 16 July to confirm its modus operandi, its outline research agenda and the individuals and organisations, both in government and the private sector, with whom the Panel would like to engage.
The ISR wishes to receive evidence from any individuals or organisations, either in the UK or abroad, who would like to submit a paper or other material and/or who are willing to offer oral evidence to the panel, if invited. All written evidence will be published at regular intervals by the Independent Surveillance Review, unless otherwise specified by the author(s) of the evidence, and it will be collated into an evidence archive at the conclusion of the process in 2015.
For the Panel's first call for evidence particular attention is being given to the following issues:
- The current and future requirements for digital information by public authorities;
- The privacy implications of the UK Government's current interception capabilities as set out in the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act and in light of revelations by Edward Snowden;
- The privacy safeguards needed in an era of big data;
- The suitability of the UK's current statutory oversight arrangements in relation to the retention and use of data;
- The challenges faced by the UK Government in providing security and privacy for its citizens in an era of rapidly evolving communications technology.
The purpose of the ISR is to review the relationship between the needs of security and law enforcement in relation to civil liberties concerns in an era of rapidly evolving communications technology. The precise Terms of Reference for this review and members of the Panel can be found onhere.
The review will be delivered to the Deputy Prime Minister after the next General Election and will be considered by the Government alongside the review being conducted by the Parliamentary Intelligence and Security Committee and the individual review of the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act (RIPA) by David Anderson QC.
Written evidence can be submitted to the ISR at any time up to 27 March 2015 and should be clearly marked as 'Evidence Submitted to the Independent Surveillance Review'. It should be sent electronically to firstname.lastname@example.com or by post to RUSI, 61 Whitehall, London, SW1A 2ET. Any telephone enquiries should be addressed to Charlie Edwards on +44 (0)20 7747 2639.News Source : Independent Surveillance Review Issues Call for Evidence

Though Dr. Alexis Glaser, DMD and her staff can already lay claim to a wealth of certifications and degrees, they strive to constantly improve their dental expertise with specialized training and studies. Thanks to this level of dedication, Dr. Glaser wields an impressive command of preventive, general, and cosmetic dentistry—her services ranging from completing routine checkups to fitting mouths for discreet Invisalign braces to repairing teeth with crowns. She and her staff adhere to a strict mercury-free policy, fixing cavities with mercury-free fillings, which are safer for the patient and the environment, and replacing patients' current mercury fillings.
The staff also performs orthodontia, and works to treat headaches and TMJ with neuromuscular dental therapy. For those who experience anxiety about trips to the dentist, Dr. Glaser performs nitrous oxide sedation dentistry, making an afternoon in the dentist chair feel like an afternoon atop a double rainbow.

Do you offer your customers any extra perks?
A very nice doctor and staff, a warm environment, and personalized service. Patients don't feel rushed.
What?s your favorite part about your job?
Helping people smile more confidently.
For more than two decades, Dr. Lilian Gonzalez and her team of specialists at Dental American Group have cared for teeth using the latest equipment and techniques. The crew—which includes an orthodontist, a periodontist, an endodontist, and oral surgeons—performs services ranging from practical to cosmetic. Doctors may straighten smiles with braces, or replace missing teeth with dental implants. Wrinkle-relaxing Botox injections are also available, leaving faces youthful enough to re-grow their baby teeth.
After receiving her doctor of dental medicine degree from the University of Pittsburgh, Dr. Delgado completed a residency at the University of Florida. There, she learned the broad range of services that she now offers at A Healthy Smile. She and her staff schedule general dentistry services such as cleaning, cosmetic services such as teeth whitening, and restorative services such as crowns.
When they're examining teeth, the trio of dentists at Premiere Dental Care Center aren't just thinking about the mouth?they're thinking about the rest of the patient, too. That's because they recognize the relationship between oral health and the body. During consultations, they explain how stress can cause cavities, plaque can lead to heart problems, and loose lips can sink ships. Then they meticulously examine teeth in search of decay and other ailments, taking into account activities that can impede oral health, such as smoking.
We are a premiere orthodontic office in south Florida with 2 locations for your convenience, one in pembroke pines and another in Plantation. We have helped hundreds of your friends and neighbors improve their smiles with Invisalign and can't wait to help you too!

As far as I know, it is NOT illegal to lighten a trigger pull. BUT it might be brought up if you were to ever find yourself in court. That might hurt you.
Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit and wisdom is knowing not to put it in fruit salad.
Enjoy the current discussion on the subject:http://www.firearmstalk.com/forums/f97/gun-modifications-court-94959/
Short answer: Typical common mods shouldn't be a problem. However there are no guarantees in life.
No there's nothing illegal about a trigger job unless you make it full auto or something. Just e careful to make sure everything is installed exactly right. There was a thread about a trigger job to a Glock that caused some pretty bad problems when a spring collapsed and caused an unwanted discharge.
Personally I don't like changing the whole trigger set up but will lighten the striker spring. But that's jsut me. If I can get them down a little to make them easier to shoot then I'm good. But they sell a lot of those kits so they must be doing something right.
The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. Thomas Jefferson
For me, the spring kit made me far more accurate. So I don't see how that could be a bad thing. Not like I made it a 2lb pull or anything.

I would not modify any trigger on a gun, especially if it was an everyday carry weapon! People do it everyday, but not me! To many to choose from that has adequate triggers. In my opinion, to much to risk, if you and your gun end up in court!
Yes it doesn't make sense to me! People spend crazy money on there " dream gun" and spend almost as much in modifications, trigger, sights, grips and so on! Makes you wonder why it was such a "dream gun" I made the mistake of buying a gun on sight without shooting it first, mainly cause of great reviews and beautiful looks! After shooting and carrying for a month, I came to the conclusion, there was absolutely nothing I liked about the gun. Instead of spending a fortune in modifications, I soon sold it, swallowed a small loss and bought something that fit my personal preferences out of the box! It's like a new car, if I'm not happy driving it off the lot, I've made a poor investment in my opinion.

Thankfully, this will be our first major wind event of the season, but it could be a doozy. Right now it looks like the area of low pressure responsible for this wind will drastically strengthen as it heads our direction out of southern Canada. This will create very gusty winds on the backside of this low-pressure center that will catapult the cold front forward overnight Tuesday and send a river of cooler air into the state. So why is this storm creating more wind then the ones we have already seen? Well this low is far stronger then many we experience in the upper Midwest, which creates a larger gap between low and high pressure across the country and therefore the winds have to travel faster to try and fill the void in order to keep the planet stable. Remember that the earth is constantly striving to have equal pressure, but the sun disrupts that equality giving us the weather that allows us to survive. The earth is constantly trying to combat what the sun disrupts, and that is where weather comes into play. Here's an example… picture a landscape where you have a valley in between 2 hills. Your hills are high pressure and your valley is low pressure. You are standing at the top of one of those 2 hills with a tennis ball. You release the tennis ball and it begins its slow roll down the hill. This would be equal to a weak area of low pressure. Now lets take that exact same scenario and make the hills 10 times higher. Now you have 2 very large hills that drop quickly into a valley. Now when you release the ball it starts at the same speed but ends drastically faster thanks to the sharper gradient and the steeper decline. The same can be said for our upcoming low pressure. It is much stronger then most, creating more of a gradient (AKA a large hill) and therefore you have stronger winds. Below is an image from one of our computer models showing forecast sustained wind speeds for Wednesday and Thursday.
25-35mph sustained winds can be expected both days according to this model. However, this model typically underestimates wind speeds, and with many of the other computer models showing sustained winds even stronger then this, I'd say its ok to conclude that sustained wind speeds will be at least this high. But it's not so much the sustained wind speeds that are going to be the issue. Yes they are strong and will make doing anything outdoors more challenging, but these are more of a nuisance then actually dangerous. The winds you really need to watch out for will be the gusts.
The forecasting computer models only show us sustained wind speeds for the surface, so we have to go to levels above the surface to get an idea of what our wind gusts will be. This is because the wind gusts we experience originate from above the surface. These winds are forced down to the surface by the turbulence in the atmosphere that the sun creates. This very same turbulence is what you experience when you are flying in a plane. It is the vertical motion of the air. Remember that when the sun rises and heats the ground, the air near the ground heats up as well. Warmer air rises so this creates rising motion in the lowest levels of the atmosphere. Considering that the atmosphere acts like a fluid, air cannot be removed from one location without immediately replacing it with air from a different location. In this case, from higher up in the atmosphere. Well if winds are typically stronger the higher you go, the heating and cooling allows these winds to get forced down to the surface as air is replaced at ground level.
Here is a look at the forecasted sustained wind speeds for about 5000 feet into the air during Wednesday afternoon from 2 of our computer forecasting models.
These are the wind speeds that could potentially be thrown down to ground level. Both of these images show wind speeds topping 50mph with the strongest winds located in the central Dakotas. This is how we know what the potential wind speed could be at the surface. Now if you think those winds are strong, check out the next 2 images. These show the same thing except for Thursday afternoon.
Notice the core of winds are quite a bit stronger, but they also don't line up with each other. The first image is very similar in placement to the ones above. But the second image shows the strongest winds have moved further east into the I-29 corridor. This leaves us with some uncertainty on just where the strongest winds will end up on Thursday. Because of this, the east should be prepared for 60+mph winds during the day even though they may not materialize.
Anyway you slice it, its going to be windy. So hold on because we are in for a wild ride!

IBM's 2012 Global CEO study follows face-to-face discussions with more than 1,700 CEOs and senior public sector leaders from around the globe. The findings examine how CEOs are responding to the complexity of increasingly interconnected organisations, markets, societies and governments. For example, almost one-quarter of CEOs say their organisations operate below par in terms of driving value from data. CEOs have expressed frustration about their inability to capitalise on available information. This is because: "The time available to capture, interpret and act on information is getting shorter and shorter." CEO, Chemicals and Petroleum, United States Given the need for deeper business insight, the best performing organisations are more adept at converting complex data into insights, and insights into action.

More On Legal & Compliancefrom The Advisor's Professional Library
- Whistleblowers A whistleblower is any individual providing the SEC with original information related to a possible violation of federal securities law. The Dodd-Frank Act established a whistleblower program that enables the SEC to reward individuals who voluntarily provide such information.
- Disaster Recovery Plans and Succession Planning RIAs owe a fiduciary duty to clients to prepare for disasters and other contingencies. If an RIA does not have a disaster recovery plan, clients financial well-being may be jeopardized. RIAs should also engage in succession planning, ensuring a smooth transaction if an owner or principal leaves.
Rep. Randy Neugebauer, R-Texas, responded Friday to an SEC Inspector General report by saying an incident involving SEC staffers that left "unprotected" potentially sensitive market and business information "shows a frightening lapse of judgment by the SEC."
Neugebauer (left), chairman of the House Financial Services Committee's Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations, voiced disappointment on Friday over details found in an SEC Inspector General report that computer security breaches had occurred in the agency's Division of Trading and Markets.
A Democratic Senate Banking Committee aide told AdvisorOne that "the Committee has begun its bipartisan due diligence, including a briefing with the SEC and the Interim Inspector General, and will continue to examine the situation."
Neugebauer was responding to a report by the SEC's Office of Inspector General recounting an investigation that began in January 2011 over alleged mismanagement of a computer security lab in the Division of Trading and Markets Automation Review Policy (ARP) program. The ARP lab, as it is known, is used to support the Division of Trading and Markets' Office of Market Continuity inspection program. That inspection program, known as the ARP program, inspects self-regulatory organizations, stock exchanges and clearing agency computer networks, the report states.
The original anonymous complaint, the report states, alleged that ARP lab staff and management "inappropriately allocated and spent significant budget dollars to purchase computer equipment for the lab without justification or planning; used unencrypted laptops during inspections, in violation of SEC information technology security policies; and inappropriately used SEC funds for training without filing proper training forms." The anonymous complaint also alleged "unprofessional behavior, ineffective management and misuse of unrestricted Internet access."
While no information was compromised, according to the report, which Neugebauer called "fortunate," he added that he was "very disappointed to learn about the cyber security problems at the SEC." He further said he "looked forward to working with the Inspector General and the SEC to ensure that similar lapses never happen again."
SEC spokesman John Nester told AdvisorOne in an email message that the SEC Inspector General found that "four staff members had used unencrypted laptop computers in violation of SEC policy. Although we found no evidence that data was compromised, the problem was fixed and the two staffers responsible for maintaining and configuring the equipment are no longer with the agency."

text: 06 March 2006 Tony Blair 10 Downing Street London SW1 2AA Dear Tony Blair, Subject: Guantanamo Bay US Naval Station Facility First of all, I offer my greetings to you in this year of 2006, praying that you, Mrs Blair and the family are in sound health and state. I write to you to express my feelings, concerns and expectations regarding the Guantanamo Bay prison camp operated by the American Government. I believe it to be shocking that the US, apparently our closest ally, has a facility (or facilities) that holds individuals for years at a time, without charge, due to the most arbitrary and unsubstantiated evidence, with no rights, in the most deplorable of conditions not least with hoods covering their heads, which is torture enough, quite frankly. If someone had told me years ago that the US would st officially operate such a facility in the 21 Century, I would have deemed them highly sensationalist and paranoid; the US, who was perceived to be the moral and ethical policeman of the world, never fearing to confront the Soviets on their institutional behaviour nor wisely encouraging smaller countries to better themselves in the sphere of human rights for their known good. Furthermore, I am shocked beyond belief that we now live in a world where the existence of the facility in Cuba has become a normalcy; people have become used to it partly due to the lack of international pressure brought to bear upon it (although it seems that has changed recently what with the recent the UN report) not to mention a preoccupied public who can barely manage day-to- day affairs not to mention have a moment spare to think about matters around the world that fundamentally affect the concept of the western civilisation that we claim to be living as part of. How and why has this happened? The UK, albeit in a precarious strategic position with regards to the US and the rest of the world, nevertheless must persuade the American Government to close down this facility. What will it take to shut this facility (and any similar facilities) down? I am not one to list to you your duties and responsibilities as Prime Minister of this country, but you must show your countrymen that you have their best interests at heart by, at the very least, exhorting the US to review each case of internment at Guantanamo to determine cause for detaining further the inmates there, particularly those of British nationality. Politics is perception and a great section of the global community now sees the American Government as having run amok, flouting human rights, tallying up elaborate abuses and methods of torture, creatively justifying the aforesaid with innocent cries of "but we have to protect the world." You do not do that by mimicking the enemy, if the enemy is as you say it is. It seems that, rather than just mimicking, the US has self-delivered a blank cheque assuming the world will tow the line. I have an unnerving intuition that the vast majority of inmates at, not only Guantanamo, but Abu Ghraib and other coalition-led facilities are innocent bystanders of this futile and misdirected campaign to wipe out global terrorism. We all know that that will not be achieved with our current tactics; indeed, it is as clear as daylight to any informed observer as to the futility of confronting just the symptoms of terrorism and that with guns blazing. I understand the policy of non-negotiation with terrorists which I myself absolutely subscribe to. However, addressing the root causes of terrorism does not mean that one is somehow negotiating. It is simply a matter of eliminating the sources of justification for the "evil ones" and what they ideologically feed off of. International pressure, led by the United Kingdom, must be brought to bear on the US to purge itself of these inhuman policies and facilities. The soul of western civilisation depends on it; otherwise we will go down in history with the rest of the historic world powers as cruel colonial imperialists. Is this really how we want to be judged by history because we do not nearly judge ourselves as truthfully as does history and the generations to come? Torture, unlawful and Page 2 November 17, 2012 prolonged detainment are the very antithesis of the human rights that you yourself claim to uphold and reading between the lines your recent comment to critics of Guantanamo that we should not forget the context in which the camp's occupants were brought in seems to suggest that you are justifying US policies regarding detainees in the war on terror. That somehow because you slap a different label on it, you can flout the rule of even your own law. With no access to detainees, who on earth knows what is taking place in that facility despite the American claims of correct treatment. People can lie, and prison guards in a top-secret facility are no different especially with the lack of international regulation plus the fact of the US Government's hostile rejection of the International Criminal Court's wish to extend its jurisdiction to US Military Officers. I mean, what kind of message does that give out? Mr Blair, put simply and rationally, the likes of Guantanamo are more befitting a despotic regime. Some argue, possibly rightly, that that is st exactly what America has become in the 21 Century. Camp X-Ray (even the name sounds like it was thought up by Ming the Merciless!!) and associated facilities around the world must be shut down if the public is to believe any differently. I look forward to hearing from you and seeing concrete action regarding this issue. Best wishes. Sincerely yours, Mohammed T Tariq

Current or former client? Write a review
Posted by: Richard, a Insurance client over 4 years ago.
I recommend Henry Burnett
I hired Henry more than 3 years ago.
Henry handled my Insurance matter.
I have previously worked with more than 10 lawyers.
Mr. Burnett performed work for my former company (insurance) and guided me personally through legal matters, which were resolved beyond my expectation. He has a way of getting to the root of a problem quickly and efficiently. He is focused, forgiving and has an excellent sense of humor. I give him my highest rating.

Laura Bush is a smart Republican
Find a Conversation
|Thu, 05-13-2010 - 8:21am
To my surprise, it turns out that Republicans are right that Laura Bush deserves respect. I only wish she had expressed her views sooner.
"In her new book, Bush discusses how she asked her husband not to make gay marriage an important issue in the 2004 election. After mentioning those passages, King pressed Bush to clarify whether or not she supported the legalization of gay marriage and clarify she did.
"Well, I think that we ought to definitely look at it and debate it. I think there are a lot of people who have trouble coming to terms with that because they see marriage as traditionally being between a man and a woman. But I also know that when couples are committed to each other and love each other, that they ought to have, I think, the same sort of rights that everyone has."
For the record, that makes Laura Bush a stronger supporter of gay marriage than Barack Obama. However, the surprises from the interview didn't end there. After talking more about gay marriage, the discussion moved to abortion where Bush had an equally liberal viewpoint.
"I think it's important that it remain legal, because I think it's important for people for medical reasons and other reasons.""

Your quotes contain nothing new.
"I only wish she had expressed her views sooner."
You mean that if you had known (which you could have), you wouldn't have so eagerly joined any and all Laura-bashing that went on on this board,

I only wish President Bush would have listened more to his smarter half. Or at least his Father, who knew enough not to get us mired down in a costly war in Iraq.

Gotcha. Yeah, that was before my time. As much as I disliked George W. Bush, I never had anything bad to say about Laura (or really any First Lady). I never did understand attacking any of them.

Vidushi R. Vedavalli (born 1935) is a Carnatic vocalist.
Early life[edit]
R. Vedavalli was born in Mannargudi, Tamil Nadu, India to Ramaswami Iyengar and Padmasani Ammal.
R. Vedavalli's talent for music was identified early on by Madurai Srirangam Iyengar, who brought the five year old a harmonium, and got her started on vocal lessons. The family moved to Madras in a few years time, and Vedavalli came under the tutelage of Mudicondan Venkatarama Iyer. From a very young age, Vedavalli won several awards in prestigious competitions including All India Radio's first prize for Classical Music and Light Classical Music, awarded by the President of India. In 2000, she received the Sangeetha Kalanidhi, which is considered the highest award in Carnatic music. She is one of the few women to have received this honor. She also received the Sangeetha Kalasikhamani award given by the Fine Arts Society, Chennai in 1995.
She received a Central Government scholarship to specialize in Padams and Javalis with T.Muktha, and in Pallavis with Venkataramana Iyer. Though she has performed since childhood, it was Ariyakudi Ramanuja Iyengar who advised her to turn into a professional musician, when he heard her sing as an 18 year old. She has travelled throughout India and abroad in North America, South-East Asia, the Far East and the Gulf, giving concerts and lecture demonstrations.
Vedavalli served in the Teacher's College of Music of the Madras Music Academy for several years before becoming Professor of Vocal Music in the Government College of Music Adyar. She has thus shared her deep knowledge and extensive repertoire with numerous students at these institutions apart from training some privately. Among her disciples today are accomplished performers, researchers, teachers and writers.
She is also trained in playing the veena, and has a good command over Sanskrit, Telugu, Kannada and Tamil, which helps her sing with greater understanding or artha bhava (meaning and emotion). She now lives in Chennai with her husband D. R. Santhanam, and mother Padmasani Ammal.

Winter wren: little bird, big song
A songster like no other local bird, the winter wren graces the woodlands of the Puget Sound region with its music year-round.
Seattle Times staff reporter
TipsTo attract wrens: Leave dead and downed wood and brushy areas; don't "tidy up" your yard.
For more information: www.birdweb.org/birdweb/bird_details.aspx?id=341
Winter wrenDescription: Weighs about 10 grams. Both males and females are plump, dark-brown with a lighter, buff band at the eyes and an erect tail.
Where to see them: Brushy areas in dense forest understory. Look for scurrying movement of foraging birds on forest floor, near bases of trees and around fallen dead wood. The wren in the photo was spotted, and heard, in Discovery Park.
What they eat: Bugs, spiders.
Nesting habits: Builds nest in cavities, including woodpecker holes in trees. May build several nests in a season, including decoys to fool predators.

It looks far too tiny to produce such a song, a liquid glissando that rings through the woods.
The winter wren is a little brown bird with a very big song. It's a demitasse of a bird, weighing less than half an ounce. But it can bench press a tune like no other local songster, with a voice 10 times more powerful, ounce for ounce, than a crowing rooster.
And its song comes when we need it most. While other songbirds of the Puget lowlands ditch us to head to warmer climes for the winter months, the winter wren, true to its name, lives here year-round. And sings.
It's no easy feat: The wren puts its whole body into the effort, breast heaving and tail trembling as arpeggios of notes pour out of its open beak.
It tips its head back, the better to let the music fly, and breathes circularly, like a woodwind musician, producing continuous song for eight seconds and more. The birds have two voice boxes, the better to sing with.
But why sing at all? To establish and defend territory, for one. And to attract — and keep — mates, for another.
Only the males sing. But it's the females that actually shape the birds' repertoire, by choosing the mates whose music they find most pleasing, said Donald E. Kroodsma, professor emeritus of biology at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, an expert on bird song.
"We can assume they sing really long and complex songs because the females demand it," Kroodsma said.
If so, the lady wrens in these parts are sophisticates, urging their partners to ever more virtuosic heights of performance. Winter wrens in the West sing more than twice as many notes per second (36) as their counterparts in the eastern United States (16).
Kroodsma learned that the songs consist of highly organized and repeatable sequences of different notes.
While two males on the East Coast he studied sang only two song types, one wren he studied intensively in Oregon sang at least 30.
"A male requires several hours and perhaps a couple of days to present even his more commonly used song types," Kroodsma noted. And each song may consist of more than 300 notes.
All the more impressive given that winter wrens aren't born with their songs. They have to learn them.
By August, the woods are full of the arias of adult and young wrens, practicing away.
"You listen to the adults sing and they are sharp and crisp and clear," Kroodsma said. "And when you listen to the young ones, you can tell they are muddling through; they really have to learn; it takes an enormous amount of practice."
By the end of their first year, most winter wrens have mastered a very stable repertoire of songs they will sing for life. The music is a songprint of the bird's neighborhood, with pieces of music learned from the adults around them. (And not usually their fathers, by the way, whom they ignore.)
"They sing in dialects; you can tell where the bird has been, and which songs he's learned," Kroodsma said.
Birds don't hear song the same way we do; they hear tones we do not, and an intricacy to the song that eludes human ears, Kroodsma said.
Yet these are not fussy, $100-a-ticket artists, they are the people's performers: flexible, adaptable and abundant birds, happy in a tangle of blackberries, sword fern and even the remnants of forest left in Seattle neighborhoods.
"That's a lot of bravado!" said Adam Sedgley of Seattle Audubon as a winter wren kept right on singing, center stage atop a sunlit branch, even as the No. 33 Metro bus ground up a nearby hill, and a noisy troupe of school kids romped along a trail on a recent morning at Discovery Park.
No performance anxiety here. Helicopters flew overhead. Dogs barked. A garbage truck banged away at the visitor's center. A train rumbled through Interbay. Didn't matter.
The wren swept his glinting gaze back and forth across his small kingdom and just kept singing and singing, tiny claws clinging to his branch, breast pumping with the effort.
"He has a lot to prove, apparently," said Sedgley.
"That's one boisterous bird."
