Europe's debt crisis: What's next for Italy and Greece?
(Read article summary)Italy and Greece are working to cobble together interim governments to avoid bankruptcy as Europe's debt crisis rolls on.
Yiorgos Karahalis/Reuters
Efforts to wrest southern Europe from the throes of a debt crisis continued in fits and starts today.
Italy's Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi clarified today that he will not run again for high office after he steps down as prime minister, and Greece is struggling to hash out who will lead an interim government designed, in part, to avert bankruptcy.
Europe, long seen as quiet, stable, and almost boring, moves into uncharted waters as fallout from an accelerating euro crisis proves to have high-stakes political consequences. Governments in Ireland and Portugal were replaced earlier this year, and now Greece and Italy face a political reordering that is both complex and emotional.
A new Greek government is slated to be announced today. The interim government will be capable of passing a controversial austerity plan linked to a €130 billion ($177 billion) bailout and a tranche of the €8 billion ($11 billion) needed for a fateful December deadline to pay back bond holders.
Greek officials under pressure from the EU announced that the new team would be named yesterday, but ongoing emergency meetings last night proved inconclusive.
Whether the interim prime minister will be Lucas Papademos, a former deputy head of the European Central Bank who has been named repeatedly as possible choice, remains unclear.
Hurdles to a quick decision reportedly include Mr. Papademos's desire to choose his own team and unhappiness from the New Democracy Party opposition over an EU requirement that acceptance of the bailout terms be put in writing by the unity government.

CASPER, Wyo. — Sheridan Memorial Hospital has offered free testing for diseases to 307 former patients who had a procedure in which a potentially infected reusable airway was used.
The patients used the airway between June 1 through Nov. 8. The letters recommend they have blood tests for hepatitis B and C and HIV.
During the period in question, the sterilization procedure for the reusable airways didn't include steam autoclaving, which was contrary to the hospital's own policy and the recommendation of the airway manufacturer.
The hospital recently switched to disposable airways, which are discarded after one use.
The airway device is inserted into a patient's throat to provide anesthesia and mechanical ventilation during surgery.
A private laboratory in Sheridan will perform the blood draws, said Mike McCafferty, the hospital's chief executive officer.
McCafferty said the former patients are most interested in what level of risk of infection they face.
"They recognize it is low, but how low is low?" McCafferty said.
The Wyoming Department of Health and the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention haven't been able to produce "great quantifiable data" on the risk involved, he said.
However, the CDC referred to study by the American Society of Endoscopy on reprocessing of scopes used in patient examinations. The study said the risk of infection was one in 1.8 million cases.
The hospital identified 1,140 patients who underwent procedures between June 1 and Nov. 8. But only 307 procedures required use of the airway.
The hospital sent information packets to all 1,140 patients to notify them whether their procedure required use of the airway.
For those that did not use the airways, the letter assures them there is nothing further they need to do.
The 307 patients who did use the airways will receive further details regarding testing, McCafferty said.
"The bottom line is we're recommending they take blood testing," McCafferty said. "We're using a third-party lab, a private lab in Sheridan to draw the blood."
The blood will be tested by different lab. Patients will decide where the test results are to be sent.
Before June 1, the hospital sterilized the airways by a procedure that included a steam autoclave, as recommended by the airway manufacturer. McCafferty said for some reason the hospital surgical services unit switched to a sterilization method that excluded autoclaving.
McCafferty said Wednesday that hospital officials continue to investigate the reason for the change in procedure.
In November, acting on an anonymous tip, the Wyoming Department of Health investigated the hospital's airway sterilization procedure.
Public Citizen is a national, nonprofit consumer watchdog organization based in Washington, D.C. Earlier this year, it warned of the danger of infection after learning of the department's investigation from an internal hospital memo and other sources.
Public Citizen also called on the Department of Health to require Sheridan Memorial Hospital to inform patients about the possible exposure and risks, offer to screen patients for possible infections the exposure may have caused, and to treat any patients found to have been infected.

Clamping is so stupid tbh. Overcoming a division shouldn't require a 14 game win streak to promos where you need a bo5. Not to mention in s1 you play gold2-5s. It's a broken system if you decided to duo with a friend who placed lower than you it penalizes you hard. Before you say stupid things like win more than you lose understand overcoming this slumpy ass +3 or 5 lp gain is impossible given the randomness of teammates. I hope s4 is different.
Lead Death
it doesn't require a win streak, it just requires you to win@ the top a little.
It's impossible to overcome? How come people still make the leap then? Also, congrats on calling yourself trash.
When ELO balances out you should be gaining and losing 5LP a game. And adjust for red and blue side advantages. (Think it is flat 2 or 3 points, I forget) You are in silver 1, but you probably have an mmr of silver 2 if that makes sense.
I understand these feels. The League system; while a good concept; really needs some refinement. The way it is now just doesn't work out fairly, I feel. But it's not impossible. Something I've had nice results with is simply being a friendly player who is enjoyable and staying out of arguments that may spring up. It keeps team morale higher than having a flame war, and it allows your team to stay more focused on what matters. You'll typically win more games. Of course, I haven't been able to climb out of Bronze for the life of me, but it's still good advice, nonetheless. xD
Wiz Khalifa
I went from S5 to G5 duoing with my B3 friend who is now S4 I believe.. Think I have 115 games played or something won like 65-70 games.. I wanna say that its not impossible you probably just aren't that good.

Jun 9, 2012I'm on my third play through.. The first time was a bit of a chore.. the second time, it started growing on me.. the third time, I started pulling off insane manuvers.. clearing room fulls of goons in a single strategic bullet time dive..
Its a deceptively simple gameplay mechanic.. Easy to get into, tough to master, consistently brilliant. Game of the year. -

Jun 11, 2012Great game, better than modern,amazing gameplay,nice graphics,unique optimization,The game run fine in dx11,this game everyone should to try! Good job Rockstar,buy this game now!
Jun 15, 2012Hello everyone, I passed the whole game, and my expectations were met, it is a masterpiece, and more such games from Rockstar"Come in the ass those who do not like this game
Jun 18, 2012Excellent game.Good graphics,great gameplay,one of the best action games of 2012.The bullet-time and shootdodge are perfectly representated by Rockstar!But when you knew GTA IV and Read Dead Redemption were great games,you knew this Max Payne 3 was gonna be an Ass-kicker!
Jun 20, 2012New game from Rockstar become a new word in genre third-person shooter. New developers added many new elements of gameplay, make excellent graphics and animation. And many many different details. Max Payne... He is really come back.
Jun 21, 2012rockstar games.we all loved the beloved GTA4.Rockstar games is back again with a masterpiece in my book.the story line is deep and u can feel the characters come to life.it made me play for 7 hours straight.this is a game worth getting
Jun 22, 2012Fantastic game. I have been a fan since the start and I was pleasantly thrilled at the outcome. Solid gameplay and I love the new setting. Adds some spice to the game while keeping to its low down roots. The Mulitplayer is great majority of the times, but there have been server issues with disconnections and resets. Only downfall I have seen for such an outstanding game.
Jul 1, 2012
Oct 3, 2012I love how I looked at the PS3 reviews and the "most helpful" ones were positive and then on PC they are mostly negative. I love PC gaming, but the community is a bunch of crying **** to be honest. No game is perfect you guys take one flaw and give the game a zero. Have you ever heard of an objective review? Get off your high horse and make your own game if you think you know so much about gaming.

Nov 11, 2012This game is awesome, the gameplay and character movement are really good, the health don't automatically rises like most recent games, the graphics on pc are amazing and very good optimized unlike GTA IV. I dont understand that people complaining and giving zero think are just haters...
Oct 14, 2012Una buena historia, aunque sale totalmente de lo que fue el Max Payne 1 y 2, muy buenos graficos, y muy bien optimizado para pc,
Disfrute mucho pasando el juego, me parece uno de los mejores del 2012. -
Dec 5, 2012awsome game this is the first one i played in the series of max payne and it is awsome a very mature story the bullet time mode is very helping in the game.now the multiplayer i think that max payne 3 multiplayer is not that enjoy but its great i will steal give it a 10/10 because i play in most of the games single player accept call of duty frenchise
Nov 6, 2012Excellent attention to detail (I was really impressed), great plot, amazing gameplay and the perfect dificulty. Also, it's long enough and the replay value is significant. The only problems are the long loading times and the unskippable cutscenes in subsequent playthroughs. Most of the game might take place during the day, but it still feels like Max Payne.
Nov 14, 2012This is an awesome game none stop action, story is great, game time not too bad all in all a great Max Payne game for the franchise. I give it a 9.5
Dec 1, 2012If you're like me, 40s with kids and not that much time to game, you'll want a great single-player, movie-like experience with lots of soul and grit. Max Payne 3 will give you that, a great 10 hour experience or so before it's back to your normal, boring non-uzi wielding day-job. Terrific gunplay, great gameplay, cool story, I enjoyed this one lots.
Dec 8, 2012This game is an ATOMIC BOMB! The cinematics are phenomenal, the action breathtaking and the game-play extremely fun. I LOVE IT! I just wish the DLCs would add more to the single player experience. Right now, they're all augmenting the multiplayer experience only.
Dec 24, 2012Лучшая игра 2012 года,достойное продолжение легендарной серии.
Dec 25, 2012Great game,as good as the first one.I've seen Max Payne evolve over the years and it never let me down.
The multiplayer is extremely good,I've had a lot of fun.The DLCs are cheap and often useful.The SP was also great,the flashback part brought back some memories and even if you never played Max Payne before you'd still understand what this game is all about. -

Jan 18, 2013Man, I really can't believe some people are rating this game low because you can't skip cutscenes, wow. Max Payne 3 is one of, if not THE best third person shooter of all time (single-player), if you disgaree you're not a gamer, that is a fact.
Mar 16, 2013Great game.compelling story and smooth control.A fan of the series.second only to the first.This is ranked one of the best shooters.As the story gets deeper it brings you in part by part doing a good job in staying fresh and not being repetitive

Feb 17, 2013Best of 2012! A work of art. Exquisite!
Nothing to complain. They did everything right!
Excellent visuals, outstanding playability, luxury atmosphere, compelling story.
The work and dedication have its fruit and is called: Max Payne 3
Thanks "Rockstar" by this superlative game! -

Mar 18, 2013I can see there are lots of negative comments. Are you kidding me? Some commented that they don't like the name of football team, the game is serious. Lol. This is a great game. The story is awesome. Pyscho- Thriller action packed game. What more can you ask for. Nice Job Rockstar!

Dec 30, 2012What can I say aside from rockstar created a master piece.. The cut scenes are awesome, story is kind of cool but I don't exactly like how max (the main character) goes out and continues to drink nearly every night but I guess its for the fun.. Well rockstar, you created a great game, i believe it was worth my $60 thank you
Jan 20, 2013There is only two words I can use to describe this game are "masterpiece" and "epic". You're literally playing a movie with a great story. The mechanics are easy, approachable, and fluid. Was ported very well also.
Jan 26, 2013
Dec 7, 2012
Mar 5, 2013Fantastic, My favorite video game ever, great graphics and visual effects, a game-play that doesn't get boring or less amusing even after multiple game plays, and Max is the deepest, most depressing, most-living video game character I've ever played with.

Mar 13, 2013
Feb 28, 2013It's a awesome Singleplayer experience. The Multiplayer is almost unplayable, because many server problems and a lot of settings, including the firewall.
Feb 11, 2013The gameplay is good, but the camera confuses you sometime. The best part of the game is the story. The narrative in the game does not let the story vague. The voice of the Max demonstrates his loneliness.
Mar 7, 2013I liked every single aspect of the game except the cover system....it is very lame...u h to be very precise bfor coming out or sum1 wil shoot u... the gameplay is totally awesome bt the cover system is the only reason i hv given it a 9...
Feb 7, 2014i really enjoyed this game , the development of max payne's character along with the story is well done ,and the gameplay is fun as ever making the best use of bullet time , as we were used to in the previous games , and in my opinion this is the best max payne game for me
Sep 18, 2013Beats out all the other previous Max Paynes. The games great for the PC. Its beautifully optimised. Graphics are very detail and great. The gameplay is superb.
Oct 28, 2013
Nov 22, 2013This game is simply awesome. Totally one of my favourite games. Story, phisics, music everything is perfect. And, thats it. Multiplayer is pretty awesome too.
Dec 15, 2013
Jun 15, 2014I'm simply amazed by the effort that Rockstar put into the development of the PC version. I have heard that this one is not a port, but a game that was simultaneously developed along with its console counterparts. By seeing the way Rockstar optimized this game for PC, I can, without a doubt, say that GTA V on PC is going to be pretty awesome.

Apr 17, 2013great game!! i'm italian and when the enemies speak portoguese, me and max seem the same man!! thanks Rockstar!!
After i finished this game, my next destination is Brasil! -

Apr 16, 2013Beautiful story, great shooting mechanics, amazing visuals, good soundtrack, on the other hand cover mechanics could be simplified, could introduce some vehicles... All in all, the single player is equally as awesome as multiplayer, really excited to see the crews transiting into GTA V and other titles. Perfect shooter.
Apr 29, 2013
May 21, 2013one of the best games ive played. took a while getting used to but once i did i couldn't stop. love max payne the character, intense missions, great storyline
Mar 31, 2014
Jun 21, 2013This Max Payne series is one of the best series and this Game is only epic.
This has very good Graphics, awesome Gameplay and one of the best stories ever.
The brazilian settings are perfect.
But the Multiplayer has much hackers and this is sh*t.
But the Arcade Mode is a good idea and good implemented. -
Sep 1, 2013Before I played it I was a bit worried since it isn't made by Remedy, but having played it I'm not disappointed. It's even more like the previous ones than I had hoped. The story is just as dark. I can't think of a major negative thing about it. Sure there are some small ones like the loading that sometimes can't be skipped and some part being unnecessary hard, but all in all it's a masterpiece.
Jun 4, 2013The last chapter of one of the most epic trilogies in the entire history of videogames and a huge comeback. I have nothing more to say but a huge THANK YOU to Rockstar Games for this game, a truly perfect ending for the Max Payne story arc.
Also, intriguing scenarios and beards. -
Jul 21, 2013
Jan 6, 2014Clearly a good follower of the series.
Rockstar did a good job with this game.
Max's voice is present, as well as interior monologue.
Locations great, furious action, slow motion much better implemented. And last but not least, great optimization.
Also there are several locations that will delight the nostalgic -
Jul 26, 2013Good game, Great story true to the heritage. I enjoyed playing it, the shooting was classic, graphics great, story very interesting glimpse into the social strata of brazil and its criminal underbelly. It uses what made the original great and adds a depth to the character that shakes off the bad comic book feel of the first 2.
Aug 21, 2013This is one of the 25 best games I've ever played. The best action I've ever seen in a third person shooter. The story is great, Max Payne is probably the best video game character ever. The score makes everything more badass and epic. And the multiplayer gets you take part of some gang action.
If you liked the other Max Payne games, or any other Rockstar game, you'll love this!! -
Sep 11, 2013Best TPS ever. Best optimised for PC ever. Very great multiplayer. Excellent graphics. And the best continuation of Max Payne as much as possible. Well done Rockstar!
Oct 27, 2013
Nov 8, 2013Rockstar really did his job with this...the game is just like the precedent titles I mean awesome...An wonderful gameplay and story.The graphics are cool and the title comes with a lot of new stuff and improvements and with the first max payne multiplayer.
Nov 10, 2013
Sep 9, 2014
Dec 23, 2013In my opinion May Payne 3 was the best computer game in this genre. Because the graphics was very good (it was released in 01. Juni 2012) and the game play too. I liked the location in brazil a lot. Rock on!
9/ 10 because you can skip the cut szenes. -
Dec 3, 2014
Mar 30, 2014The best Third Person Shooter i've ever played. It was kinda hard to complete some parts of the game but thse story, graphics and controls are just awesome! I really recommend this game (Even if you haven't played other "Max Payne" games.
Mar 10, 2014Loved it, nice action, nice graphics, story is good, it's like a movie, forget about been super realistic, it's more like a novel, loved it. Also as a multilingual person, I loved how Portuguese sounded through the whole game, much like Elite Squad, Spanish was ok, but that gave the game an extra touch of immersion. Very nice game, totally recommending it.
Apr 14, 2014This game is pretty godamn good. The best thing is that it's like modern games but it stays true to the series. The shooting is solid and also the cover system. The Bullet Time is cooler than ever but the **** annoying video affects shouldn't be in the game even if they wanted to show that Max is in hangover. This game is very good and you should buy it.
Aug 12, 2014
May 27, 2014Egyszerűen remek játék volt. Történet persze ismerős lehet de a játék dinamikája és a hangulata oda szegez a géphez és nem enged... A fő szereplőt a lehető legjobban találták el, azonosulni pedig 1-2 ember biztos fog (köztük én is) majd vele. A zenék pedig zseniálisak itt ott noir de ez miért lenne baj... Remélem lesz Max Payne 4 is...
Dec 15, 2014
Nov 24, 2014
Dec 20, 2014FANTASTIC game. One of the best action games i have ever play. I found better from previous max payne games because may payne 3 has better gameplay, more locations , good story and is ROCKSTAR... A must buy. MAX PAYNE 3 deserve BETTER sales. I hope for similar max payne 4 from Rockstar

Oct 13, 2012Max Payne 3 feels like a PC original, in a very good way. [Aug 2012]
Aug 31, 2012Its deviation from the mood instilled by its predecessors might annoy some purist fans, but Max Payne 3's undisputed quality standards in all accounts will make them look the other way and enjoy the game as it is. [July 2012]
Jul 29, 2012Max Payne is god and it really doesn't matter that he is not the fair one. He is the most interesting action character these days and the game itself is one of the best you can get. [July 2012]

Shots Sign Striker
Rumors that Craig Reid was on his way to the Shots have turned out to be true, as the 26-year old joined the club.
Shots manager Dean Holdsworth has announced that striker Craig Reid has joined the club on a two-year deal.
The Coventry-born striker joins the club from League One side Stevenage for an undisclosed fee - revealed by the League One side to be one involving five-figures.
The signing will see Reid team up with his former boss for a second time as they were previously together at Newport County where the player netted 66 goals in 112 matches.
Speaking to the clubs official website, Holdsworth said: "This is a big step in the right direction for us.
"We have addressed our defensive and midfield situation and plenty of work has been undertaken to sign Craig to address the attacking area of our game.
"I must thank the club, Chairman and Richard Low for having the same enthusiasm as me to ensure this deal has been completed. I know Craig well. He has an excellent professionalism, character and work rate and he will rub off on the players. He is an excellent addition to our squad."

If you're ready to take the journey to wealth and personal fulfillment, here's your ticket. In this life-changing audiobook, entrepreneur and inspirational speaker Keith Cameron Smith tells you how to think like a millionaire and reap the benefits of a millionaire mindset. The key to moving beyond the middle class and up the economic ladder is mastering 10 vital principles, including:
©2007 Keith Cameron Smith; (P)2007 Gildan Media Corp
"Power Packed with information."
This is a short book but one of the best I have come across so far, its power packed with information.
2 out of the 10 distinctions mentioned in this audio have changed the way I think forever.
Highly recommended.
"Great wisdom and motivation!"
Tried and true principles that work every time when applied. Found the book to be loaded with wisdom and application. Very enjoyable and easy to listen to.
This is a really good book. It gets you thinking about how you've been brought up and how your mindset has been influenced by family, society, and friends.
If you want a good read to get you on your way to changing how you think, this is the one. I bought the audio, but enjoyed it so much I had to have the actual book in my library.
"Love it!!!!"
Please buy it, you wont regret it, best buy in audible so far. Really amazing that in less that 2hrs you can learn so much. I will keep buying books from this autor, thanks Keith Cameron!!
"Don't let its size fool you."
Those words of wisdom apply very much to this gem. Much of the book only reaffirmed my own empirical evidence of how the world works, and the rest was very potent information. Highly recommended.
"Great Listen"
Author's 10 distinctions are very insightfull. By mediating on the principles stated I truly believe, his advice can enable people to prosper.
"Inspirational and arrogant"
The "distinctions" are valid and useful for continued inspiration on the path to financial freedom. Simple reminders such as long-term planning, keeping your conversations on ideas while avoiding gossip and seeing the opportunity in change are convenient to have in a top ten book. The stories of the author's personal life and constant reminders of his millionaire status (like his winner status in Distinctions between Winners and Losers) are unfortunate. In the future, I hope Mr. Smith regulates his personal story, attributes, and judgments to the introduction.
"Informative, Insightful, with plenty of color"
I found this audio book to be a really good listen.
The author gives plenty of his own life experiences but does not over do it. Some amount of actual you "need to do this type info" but some philosophical issues as well. I hope that the author comes out with more bigger and better books over the long haul.
"Excellent tips! Clear inspiring points!"
One of the main things I learned through this read is that all good habits can be learned, all it takes is willing power and practice. He provides his advice in a clear manner with great examples. Learning and beginning to apply the principles he presents is not hard. Sometimes he gets into too many discussions about how he helped persons a, b, c, d ...etc. But besides that it is a fantastic inspiring book with great ideas!
"Everything you can find in other books... but."
Nice and short book about obvious differences. All these distinctions you can find of course in other books. But. Worth of reading/listening… one time.
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.

Hadlock realizing dream on different path
By Kyle Salomon,
One year ago, Colton Hadlock was preparing for his senior year at Mustang High School and his final campaign in the Bronco football program.
Hadlock was solely focused on playing football in 2013 for MHS and on his future, which he thought for sure was going to be playing collegiate football.
The 2014 Mustang graduate is now preparing to begin a new chapter of his life as he enters the world of college athletics beginning this fall.
However, as history has proved time and time again, the path is not what Hadlock thought it would be 12 months ago.
The 6-foot-5 sure-handed Hadlock has committed to play soccer at Southern Nazarene University after playing the sport for only six months.
"I would have told you, you were crazy if you would have told me I would be going to college to play soccer a year ago," Hadlock said. "But I couldn't be happier. I know this is what I am supposed to be doing."
After the football season came to a conclusion last November, Hadlock was talking with numerous colleges about playing football at the next level.
During the winter holiday break, the Mustang High School soccer coaches approached Hadlock about trying out soccer and being a goalkeeper for the 2014 version of the Bronco boys soccer team.
With Hadlock's height, long arms, athleticism and sure hands, the MHS soccer coaches thought Hadlock would make a top-notch goalkeeper.
"In the past I didn't do it because I was so focused on getting ready for the next football season," Hadlock said. "But last year was different because I didn't have that anymore. I'm good friends with a lot of guys on the soccer team, so I thought it would be a lot of fun and I thought I could help the team."
The transition wasn't easy for Hadlock as he quickly learned that catching a soccer ball is entirely different than catching a football.
"They are just two different things. I was so used to catching footballs that it took awhile to get used to a soccer ball. I also had to learn how to kick the ball off the ground and place it down the field."
One area of Hadlock's football game that directly translated to the soccer field was the punting aspect of being a goalkeeper.
Hadlock was the punter on the 2013 Mustang football team and quickly earned a reputation for booming the ball down the field. He was able to use that skill in soccer as well as he would send the ball soaring through the air from the front of the net.
Hadlock said he never thought playing college soccer was even an option until playing the goalkeeper position became more natural with every game.
Hadlock said three Mustang soccer coaches are the ones to thank for getting him on the soccer field and working with him to develop his skills in the net.
"Coach (Jared) Homer, Coach (Chad) Long and Coach (Tyler) Wythe all worked countless hours with me helping me get to where I am. There is no way I would have this scholarship if it wasn't for those three coaches. I owe them a lot."
Hadlock said SNU was the right choice because of its soccer program, its proximity to his hometown (Mustang), and they have one of the best nursing programs in the state, which is what Hadlock wants to do with his career.
"It's just a really good fit. I really like their head coach (George Schroeder) and with their nursing program being so good, I knew it was the right place for me."
Hadlock said going into his freshman season this fall, he has one main goal in mind.
"I want to work as hard as I can and earn the starting job as the goalkeeper. They have no returning goalkeepers on their roster, so I am really going to push hard for that position."

POSTED: Friday, July 20, 2012 - 8:00pm
UPDATED: Monday, August 13, 2012 - 6:44pm
GLADEWATER — The Gladewater City Council on Thursday voted to survey property owners about support for a curbside recycling program.
The survey will be sent with residents' water bills and will include such questions as how much money residents would be willing to pay for the service. Officials have estimated a curbside recycling program would cost residents an extra $1.75 to $2 per month.
The recycling program would make it so residents have one day of recycling and one day of regular trash collection. Right now, residents have two days of trash collection. A monthly recycling service is provided at City Hall for anyone who wishes to bring recyclables from their homes or businesses.
Councilman Delbert Burlison said he's heard from many residents who say they would recycle if it were more convenient.
"It's hard for families to come one weekend a month," he said.
Burlison said he believes if the city offers a curbside recycling program that 80 percent to 85 percent of people would participate.

Castleberry Hill is a neighborhood in central Atlanta, Georgia located adjacent to and southwest of the Central Business District. It is a federally recognized historic district since 1985 and became a City of Atlanta Landmark District in 2006. Since 2000, the area has experienced an influx of residents and new businesses. The area, which is made up predominantly of Walker, Nelson and Peters Streets is home to a growing number of small art galleries, restaurants, and loft residences. The area also offers pristine local shopping, grocery, such as Boxcar Grocer, and spa services, like iwi Fresh. Other notable area eateries include No Mas! Cantina, a spacious Mexican-themed restaurant, bar and fine home furnishings establishment, often used as a point of reference. Castleberry Hill residents gather at local watering holes, such as Elliott Street Pub and Bottle Rocket.
This area was originally part of the renegade Snake Nation community but by the Civil War was becoming industrial with terra cotta and other building material factories, cotton warehousing and grocers, one of whom, Daniel Castleberry, it is named for.[2] By the early 1990s, it had fallen on hard times, serving as the backdrop for dystopic films such as Freejack and Kalifornia. Loft conversions began in the 1980s, and by 1992, there were 120 lofts with 150 residents. The 1996 Olympics saw another influx of development.[3]

Humane Society preparing to launch program to control feral cats
Monday, July 27, 2009
If you go
What: Community meeting for Humane Society of Moffat County's Trap, Neuter, Release program
When: 6 p.m. Thursday
Where: Golden Cavvy Restaurant, 538 Yampa Ave.
• For more information, call Heather Lorio at 824-5438. The group welcomes anyone who wants to humanely address the local feral cat population.
Wild cats don't always recover, but once in a while, it's possible.
"Sometimes they come around after a few days," said Ann Anderson, vice president for the Humane Society of Moffat County.
"But it's extremely rare," Humane Society volunteer, Heather Lorio added.
One of those rare cases was the star at Friday and Saturday's annual garage sale fundraiser in Craig for the Humane Society.
A kitten not yet named was comfortably purring and napping in Marilyn Lighthizer's arms. Lighthizer is also a Humane Society volunteer.
About four days earlier, Lorio had taken the kitten to the Humane Society along with nine other kittens. Three of them were considered too feral and were going to be put down because veterinarians could not get close enough to examine and care for them.
But one made a turn around that saved his life.
"When I saw him and recognized that it was him, my heart just skipped," Lorio said. "I was so amazed."
In August, the Humane Society is planning to launch a Trap, Neuter, Release program with the goal of controlling populations of feral cats in Craig. A feral cat is a cat that has become wild.
Oftentimes, they run in packs to improve chances of survival.
Lorio said the problem has become a big one in the area, and she hopes people will attend a meeting Thursday at the Golden Cavvy Restaurant, 538 Yampa Ave., to support the program.
"We really are overwhelmed with stray and feral kittens," Lorio said.
Organizers plan to start by trapping three or five cats a week but hope with increased support the program will grow.
Once the cats are caught, the Humane Society will administer vaccines to all of them and neuter the males. To tag them before release, a corner of their ear will be clipped.
Lorio stressed that releasing them is the best option because feral cats usually don't become domesticated and can't be adopted.
The garage sale fundraiser raised about $900 during Friday and Saturday.
The money will go to a general fund that helps pay for neutering and spaying animals that don't get adopted so they can be transferred to another shelter.

Wild cats should be put down. They are a menace to the health and well being of our society. Spending more money to try and save something that is not wanted or needed is just a waste.
JAHM 5 years, 6 months ago
I think this is a great program. Its not the animals fault that it was not cared for and just left to fend for its self! It was the person who bought, or adopted the cat. I think what needs to happen is that these people who refuse to or can't afford to have their animals fixed should have them taken away! IF YOU CAN'T HAVE YOUR ANIMAL FIXED THEN YOU SHOULDN'T OWN ONE!!! its honestly the people of craig who are creating this cat problem!! so why should the cats have to suffer because the person buying them does not know how or can't properly take care of them or afford to take care of them. It's really simple! don't get an animal if you CAN'T afford to have it fixed and taken care of properly!! all the HS is trying to do is give these animals that were just abandoned a chance, and what harm is going to come out of getting these wild cats fixed? nothing that I can see on a breeding level! its going to slowly put a stop to wild cats multiplying.
Colette Erickson 5 years, 6 months ago
Extensive research and the implementation of large-scale programs in other states and large urban areas has shown that the best way to handle feral cat populations is to trap/spay/neuter/release, as proposed by the Humane Society. This way, the neutered cats remain in the home territory and it is not taken over by new, un-neutered, populations of feral cats, which will then continue to reproduce and perpetuate the problem. Simply killing the traped cats does not solve the problem.
And yes, the root and heart of the problem is folks who do not spay/neuter. It should be a crime to not spay/neuter, and to breed dogs and cats for sale. Adopt! Even if you want a purebred animal, there are rescues for every breed, and purebreds show up at shelters regularly.
David Moore 5 years, 6 months ago
Anyone from the Humane Society, or any reader that knows someone there that might tell them about this, can contact me at the hospital regarding unused or expired surgical supplies...suture, draping, etc.. I will gladly donate these clean items to help defray the costs entailed by this program...provided it is done locally. I cannot help if it is done elsewhere outside Moffat County. This is a great way to begin control of feral cat overpopulation and is more of a humane approach that just outright gunning them down. Contact me Tues-Fri, 0700 till' the job is done.
als362 5 years, 6 months ago
I agree with JAHM to a point. I agree that it is the owners fault that these pets are running free. But I would rather reduce the population quicker than the way that is proposed here. To me the quickest way is to eliminate these wild cats immediately.
JAHM 5 years, 6 months ago
Yes but eliminating them is not helping the problem any. All its doing is creating a temporary fix to the problem. People are still going to abandon their cats. So you wipe out the population we have now of wild un fixed cats it wil be okay for a while until the new abandon unfixed ones come in. So i guess this could go either way, but I see less of an over population problem out of this if you TNR than just wipe them out and let the process start all over again. if you do the TNR program there are going to be less cats that will be able to reproduce when new ones come in as aposed to eliminating them all and starting over with a whole new group of unfixed cats.
GreyStone 5 years, 6 months ago
Humane Society plans to only neuter the males which in my opinion will not slow the population expansion of these so called feral cats as each female cat only needs one male cat to become pregnant and give birth to six or seven more cats. That one male cat can impregnate ten or twelve females each day before he is neutered.
Some people let their male cats run at night, so, does the Humane Society plan to neuter male cats that people let run wild at night ???? The Humane Society has identified a real problem, but is just wasting their time.
als362 5 years, 6 months ago
I believe the best soultion for managing these feral cats is to inject them with a small ammout of lead at high speed. This method insures that the animal will NEVER breed another feral cat. It is also the least expensive of all the options I have heard in the past few weeks. A law allowing me the ability to protect my property from these unwanted, uncared for pets, would do a lot more towards getting rid of these pets than the Moffat County Humane Society could or will ever do.
JAHM 5 years, 6 months ago
It is less costly to have a male cat fixed than it is a female cat fixed. So if this is how the humane society is choosing to deal with the situation, and it is such an issue to a lot of craigs residents then why don't we all start donating more to the HS so that they can afford to not only fix the male cats but the females as well??? I Know it seems so much more easy to just put them down but thats not what the HS is around for. Its here to help all the abandon, abused, wild ect ect. animals around craig. So if they are the only ones who are choosing to step forward and address the problem I think we need to not complain. These are people who are willingly taking time out of their lives with no pay to try to address this problem. I think this is pretty outstanding of these people to care so much to do something like this for not only the animals of our community but the people of our community as well. So until someone else steps up to the plate and has a better plan lets try and be as postive and helpful to these people who don't get PAID and are taking the time out of their lives and away from their families to raise the money to try and fix this problem the best they can.
als362 5 years, 6 months ago
To JAHM; I am VERY willing to step forward and help control this problem, I just don't want to go to jail doing it. I see no future in wasting money performing operations on animals that no one wants then turning them loose to continue destroying mine and others properties. I also am willing to address this problem for no pay. I have stepped up to the plate with a cheaper and much more permanent solution to these wild cats. Its just doesn't seem to suit the nicey nice people that think this will go away with just a few people fighting it. Which it will not. This problem will take everyone working together to eliminate it. I for one am very willing to pitch in and do my part, as long as I can do it my way. If you don't like my way, TOO BAD.
JAHM 5 years, 6 months ago
the only problem that would arise handling it your way als362 is when you or someone else happens to kill someones house pet and that someone does you or someone else some serious harm for killing their pet then not only do you have a wild animal problem to deal with we may have some serious and dangerous problems with the people in the community as well. Im not saying that i like the fact that all these cats are running around. It breaks my heart that people get animals and then can't take care of them it really does, But handling it your way is going to do nothing but cause more problems! Now I know that one of the woman in that artical said its hard to get wild cats to come around, but maybe if more people could come in and help the HS with spending more time with these animals they may be able to get more to come around and get more fixed and adopted out. I know all together this is not the ultimate fix to this problem but once again at least these people are trying to not only fix the problem as best they can, but give these animals a fighting chance. It was not their fault that they ended up this way its the people that decided after they got them that they could not or did not care! so instead of euthenizing the cats why dont we just euthenize the people who can't or don't care who get an animal anyway?
Dakota 5 years, 6 months ago
To als362 and any one else who does not fully understand this whole stray and feral cat issue: Putting the cats down is not an option until the people of the community stop being lazy and start taking care of their pets and their environment. Stop abandoning your cats, don't leave food, shelter, and water around for them to live off of, have your cats spayed or neutered if they have any chance at all that they might get out of the house. So you take care of the cats your way, what are you going to do when they come back? Because they will! Why are they coming on your property and not some one else's? Because they are finding food, shelter, and water there. You may not think they do but if your place is not "clean" then that is where they are going to go. But hey, lets just keep blaming the cats for our neglect of them and the issue. Not all of the humane society members are tree huggers and bleeding hearts, but a few of them are well educated and have done their research on this issue and this program. I would rather see the money being "wasted" on these cats then wasted on human beings who can't even use common since to realize why these cats are here in the first place and fix that problem, themselves. Do you really think the ground just opened up and poof they were here? I guess it is easier to just pull the trigger on some buck shot them to put effort into talking to yourself or your neighbor about the real issue.
WileyWapiti 5 years, 6 months ago
I agree in part with 3canines above..."the best way to handle feral cat populations is to trap/spay/neuter/release". But on the other hand I also agree with als362 and taking other measures.
I only say this because once my grandfather passed away, my grandmother started colloecting or taking in cats. We worked very hard over the years to work with county entities (not in this county or state) to rid her property of these vermine - we tried all means, and I mean all means(save claymores and other explosives)....more cats would still show up until the day she died this was a huge problem. Her mental state was such that she would spend all of her money to feed and fix these animals - it was very sad. When we went to clean her house, these ferral cats had infested the attic, crawl spaces, portions of the house and also the out buildings. After 2 days of working in this house - my father and I burned all of our clothes used for that task - even the shoes!
So I am very interested in this thread to see what resolutions are settled on and I hope nobody ever has to go through what we did with my grandmother - it was absolutely disgusting
als362 5 years, 6 months ago
To Dakota:
I do understand the feral cat issue, I have been putting up with them for years, so I know I have a grasp on the problem. And NO, I do not think the ground opened up and they just appeared. Irresponsible people caused the problem, but eliminating people is really frowned upon by the local police. Cats however I might be able to get away with.
First off, there is no food or shelter on my property. And mine is one of the cleanest and best kept up in the area. Sorry I don't fit into your profile.
Reading your post, you make it sound as though I am wholly or partly responsible for this problem. That I am not! I do not, have never, and will never own a cat. So if you choose to point fingers do not point them at me!
Wasting money trying to save an animal that has no social signifigance, is a total waste and should not even be considered.
Individual property owners that have problems with these pests, should be allowed to deal with them in their own way. Just as they do with ants and weeds.
I think people that turn cats loose on purpose should be jailed for at least 7 days. Their sentence should be to catch cats for that period of time, the more they catch the sooner they get out.
And yes I do think it is much quicker, cheaper, and just plain more efficient to just do away with them, than trying to talk any kind of sense into the slobbish fools that live near me. For all I know you may be one of them.

Except for one very power veiw of the world, it seems that the HSMC has some great support for their programs. Keep up the good work guys.

When I was medivaced to the rear in Vietnam I adopted a dog. I let him run around for most of the week, but on Friday afternoons anyone who wanted to keep their pets had to keep them indoors, because the MP's would ride around ChuLai in their jeeps with 12 guage shotguns and would shoot any animal the saw running at large. That way they controlled the feral population of possibly rabid animals, that constituted a public health threat, and everone who had a pet that they loved, got to keep their animal and not risk it being shot by accident.
als362 5 years, 5 months ago
Mr. Spalding's comment makes perfect sense to me, and it is what I have been saying all along. Keep pets on your own property or on a leash.
als362 5 years, 5 months ago
According to some of the people that wrote posts here, these wild cats eat food left out by humans. So these cats are probably not hunting for other vermin as suggested, but eating out of garbage cans, food left for other pets, and food just left laying around. With that in mind, my solutuion looks better to me all the time. Short, sweet and to the point.
slipknot 5 years, 5 months ago
The only problem with ALS362's solution is there has to be a limit or else the vermin that the feral cats control will start to overrun the community. Then you have a more serious problem, kinda like plague or other diseases carried by mice, rats, and ground squirrls, that cats eat and live on.

You do have a valid point however, when my wife and I retired and left Craig we moved away from our small country home with a few hundred acres and several outbuildings inhabited by about 15 cats that my wife had started with as house cats but had eventually moved themselves to the main barn, where in due course they stopped coming to the house for meals of 'store bought' cat food and enhanced their skills and saved us money at the same time by reducing the local rodent population. When the local population grew over 15 and unfriendly to the point where they wouldn't come for special treats or to be petted, those were quickly and very quietly dispatched with the help of Mr. Ruger 10-22WMR. This culling took place about every 8 months. Sometimes when one of the originals got sick the same medicine was administered. Coyotes got their share and cars and trucks got their share. Uncaring humans added to the problem by dropping off cats and kittens that were unwanted in town. Females were welcomed as new breeding stock but they faced the same culling process. We eventually stopped buying food in the spring and summer because we were feeding skunks, raccoons, magpies, and crows. Winter was a different story however. All the cats were fed in the barn we kept no more than 15, that we knew of. When we sold out and moved we gave the new owners the option of keeping the cats or having us take care of them. They opted to keep them. I only hope that they were as responsible as my wife in taking care of her pets.

Probably most everyone that attended the East Tennessee Plant Swap knew Laura, but, in case you didn't, she was the one that built and maintained our website and sent out many of the direct emails about the swap. She really did a lot of work behind the scenes, and her passing will be a huge loss to many of us on Gardenweb and those involved in the ETPS. |
I had only met her at the spring swap - and she was so nice. I am sad to hear this news...I know she will be missed by many. |
Met her many years ago at mid tn. plant swap. Still have some plants I got from her. Was happy to cross paths with the lady. So sorry to hear this. |
Yes, Laura was a super fun person and incredibly talented - she gave so much to so many folks. And, for those who don't know, she designed, maintained and hosted the Knoxville Plant Swap website that we so enjoyed. Her passing is a tremendous loss not only to those of us who knew her through the plant swaps but to the many other lives she touched. Thank you all for your kind sentiments. |

How To Add Prayer to Your Marriage Toolbox
By Paula Reece
- Set your alarm 20 minutes earlier. Find a quiet place to sit and be with God.
- Talk to God, aloud, in your head, or through writing. I find that writing my prayers down helps keep me focused, and I can go back later to reread my prayer requests and see how God has answered them.
- Pray specifically about your spouse. Instead of saying, "Please bless my husband," be specific and bold in your requests to God. "If you don't know what you're doing, pray to the Father. He loves to help. You'll get his help, and won't be condescended to when you ask for it. Ask boldly, believingly, without a second thought." (James 1:5-6, MSG) If there is something about your spouse that you'd like to change, tell God. He is the only one who can produce change in our spouse, even though we keep on trying to on our own!
- Dedicate yourself to prayer. Pray daily. The more you pray, the more comfortable you'll feel, and the more you'll begin to see God's work in your marriage.
- Remember that prayer not only changes the person being prayed about, but it also changes the one praying. Pay attention to how God is working on you as you continue to pray. You may find yourself reacting differently than you once would have in a situation with your spouse. You may feel a sense of peace about your marriage. That's God at work in you, and in your marriage.
And if you encounter a day when you just don't know what to say, pray God's words back to him. "The Bible expresses all God's desires for us and all His provision for us. Praying the Scriptures back to Him, we are asking God to do what He has already said He will do." (scriptureprayers.ca)
Once you have taken the step of praying for your spouse and your marriage, the next goal is to begin praying with your spouse. Stormie Omartian, author of many books on prayer, including The Power of a Praying Wife, described it this way in an article on FocusontheFamily.com: "Every time you and your spouse pray separately for one another, great things happen in your relationship. Prayer is truly powerful. But when you pray together, that power increases tremendously, and so do the results."
Do you pray for your spouse? If so, how have you experienced change in your marriage?

I don't think you'll find a better deal than replacing the slider for $465. Anything else is going to be a special order, with special handling and special pricing. |

TOUGH TIMES: The New York Times Co. on Thursday reported that third-quarter net income dropped 51.4 percent to $6.5 million, while ad revenue slipped 14.4 percent to $398 million, total revenue decreased 8.9 percent to $687 million and executives said during a conference call that the board will "review our dividend policy," which could result in taking it to zero or cutting it in half.
Following the earnings release, Moody's Investors Service placed the publishing company's senior unsecured and Prime-3 commercial paper ratings on review for a possible downgrade. The current ratings, Baa3, is the lowest investment grade rating before dipping into junk status. Meanwhile, Standard & Poor's lowered its corporate credit rating to junk status, BB-, a three-notch downgrade. "The negative outlook reflects our expectation for significant ongoing rates of EBITDA decline and uncertainty regarding when ad revenue could potentially begin to moderate," according to the S&P report.
Despite a tough quarter for advertising, a few categories continued to do well, including luxury, which was up in the single digits, financial services, health care and corporate advertising. Internet revenue for the quarter rose 6.7 percent to $85.1 million and Internet ad revenue increased 10.2 percent to $74.4 million.

as a full-time programmer I haven't cracked a single book or magazine related to programming in over a year. My extensive library collects extensive dust.
I'd suggest you read something, perhaps something outside of your professional area. Reading up on things outside of your area of focus can help you develop as a programmer, see things in a different light, etc...

I agree with you that science would be better than just being a coder, but I think coding could help if it contributes to a person's ability to think logically and consistently.
President Obama identifies himself as a black man. I can't find the exact quote, but he once described himself as "a black man of mixed background". Another time he said "If I'm outside your building trying to catch a cab, they're not saying, 'Oh, there's a mixed-race guy.'" The point is part of the reason he probably identifies as black is because that is how other people see him. Most people think in terms of simple race categories. (I myself am of mixed-race and I know it is a pain to have to explain this, often multiple times to the same people.)
If you look up the definition of abnormal in a dictionary, such as this one or this one. You get definitions like: ": different from what is normal or average : unusual especially in a way that causes problems" or "Not typical, usual, or regular; not normal; deviant. odd in behaviour or appearance; strange". So even if the word has a sense as you indicate, other senses of the word are pejorative.

I was wondering when the ugly racist interpretation was going to raise its head. So, far a long time Neanderthals were thought of as more primitive than humans, but now that it is known that most Europeans have Neanderthal DNA (and most Africans don't), they are being re-interpreted as being the origin of the master race.

If I wasn't this unwell, I probably wouldn't have done any of the things that I have done since I was eighteen. If I was well enough to have gone to drama school in New York when I wanted to, I would have. Instead, I have had to constantly find new paths to follow that are right for me at any given time. And they have changed so many times.
Generally people don't want to hang around anyone chronically ill, and I can't say I blame them. I do understand, for someone in a poor state of health has limitations when it comes to socializing, which admittedly causes difficulty in maintaining friendships. Once diagnosed with a degenerative disease, life is never quite the same again.
Most of us living with Parkinson's disease are on a cocktail of pills we ritually take each day. We can try to help maintain the dopamine levels to some degree by eating the right foods. A well balanced diet alone cannot of course replace Parkinson's medications, but ensures they work at an optimal level.
It is known that acceptance of long-term chronic illness is seen as a substantial problem in patients with chronic illnesses. Absence of acceptance can lead to clinical improvements being delayed considerably. It can also lead to poorer adherence to the current and ongoing medical treatment. They may be branded and judged by others as being in denial.
The on-line Parkinson's community is a great way of connecting through the Internet with others in the same boat. I was truly touched by a new contact I made with a fellow Parkinson's sufferer. My article this week is about an ordinary Joe, just like you and me, except his name is Kendall Lay and he is far from ordinary.
I am typing this article in bed, on my laptop which has been precariously propped up, barely able to see the keys, I am determined to finish this piece. You may be wondering what on earth I've been up to. Sorry to disappoint you, but it doesn't take much to injure myself, and I wish I had an exciting fascinating tale to relate, but the truth of the matter is sadly quite pathetic.
I'm now on a plant based, gluten free, sugar free, high nutrient, anti-inflammatory, juice infused, smoothie obsessed, rotation diet. I very rarely eat anything out of a packet (even if it fulfils my diet criteria), and I spend most of my daily energy on preparing my food. I have slip ups (it's normal when you make such dramatic changes), but I know that what I'm doing is right for my body.
The government should take this opportunity to think very carefully about whether the WCA is the right assessment to continue with. At the very least they shouldn't bind the next government to lengthy contracts for delivering WCAs if that will hinder the opportunity to give the WCA the massive overhaul, even total replacement, that it very much needs.
So, today, on Rare Disease Day, I'd like to take the opportunity to share some quick things that millennials (ugh) living through their teens and twenties with chronic illnesses will know. I hope that this will serve to help people be more understanding and aware of what they can do to support their friends and loved ones who fight every day for their health.
My dog has a face only a mother could love, she incessantly drools, snores loudly and smells (so I've been told). Due to Parkinson's I have no sense of smell, so it doesn't bother me! We have become inseparable and together 24/7 for over eight years; family and friends now know and accept, "Love me, love my dog"!
Three chronic illnesses that left me bed bound, feeling more ill than I had ever done in my life, and more and more depressed (which certainly didn't help the situation). I spent hours trawling the internet and asking people online how they were able to live 'normal' lives. That's all I wanted. I had had to give up jobs that I loved...
My worst nightmare is becoming a burden to my family, which I'm sure is in the back of many people's minds. No one wants to put loved ones through such difficulties and heartbreak. Why is it the people we love the most seem to be the ones who end up suffering? I am painfully aware my family, despite their smiles and good humour, encounter strains and difficulties due to my ill health.
When people ask me "How are you?" I have to think twice, not because I don't know, but often am not sure what they want to hear. Some ask out of common courtesy, simply being polite, but would rather I answer "I'm fine thank you" than hear a long account; perish the thought of hearing the truth and understanding the full picture of living with chronic disease.

Just a day
We have confirmation that "Vertical Voices" will arrive today. We've finished a sweet new documentary-style video about the CD that I'll post tomorrow in celebration of the release. For today, here are the three videos we've posted during the launch and creation of the CD...
Highlights from the comments of these videos, to date:
---Just as well I pursued a career other than music. These guys are depressing. How can one measure up to that? At the very least, being able to contribute to these artists' efforts feels like an extremely worthwhile cause. Kerry Marsh's work is the most amazing revelation I've had on YouTube to date.
---This was a great intro by Maria Schneider. Wow, you guys are going to take over the world, musically that is. I believe it. You two are amazing!
---Wow. I love Maria Schneider, and Kerry and Julia sound FANTASTIC! Wow!
---What's the name of the track playing at the beginng? I'm new to her music, and that is just amazingly beautiful
---I can't wait to experience the whole project. Singers Unlimited on steroids.
---The original compositions of Miss Schneider stand on their own but with this wonderful vocal musical collaboration with Julia & Kerry covering all the horns and strings it has new wings. They're singing is angelic and edgy and cutting edge and improvisationally magnificent. Grammy time!!!!! Any questions!!! I think NOT.
---Thats gonna be one epic CD
---Normally I can't stand scat signing, but you guys sound really good doing it!
Step of two
TWO DAYS until Vertical Voices launches. Julia and I will be performing at Sac State on the release day, Tuesday at 8pm, with Jazz Singers and C-Sus opening the show. All about yesterday below, but here's the VOTD...Maria Schneider's "Pas de Deux," in honor of my little countdown thing, and, of course, in honor of the best composer on the planet...
Julia and I presented a clinic about our project at the California Music Educators Association conference yesterday. We sang "Sky Blue" and "Hang Gliding" in our 9am clinic (!) and talked about the project a bit. Attendance at the conference seems to be down, in general, certainly due, in part, to the recession, so the room wasn't packed, but we got a great vibe from the 25 or so people who made it. It was the first time for us to use the new computer setup in a live situation, and it didn't go off entirely without a hitch, as the tracks for "Sky Blue" cut out for a full second RIGHT at the climax of the piece...but we both sang the music about as well as we've ever done it live. We hadn't gotten much sleep, as we've been working furiously on last minute major items for the CD release. You'll surely see the products of that on Tuesday.
At 11:45, The CMEA High School All-State Vocal Jazz Ensemble performed. under the direction of our great friend and colleague Greg Jasperse. The all-staters were absolutely dynamite this year! They're always great, of course, but it seems that this year's combination of elements just gelled extraordinarily well. I hope even more California directors will encourage their students to submit auditions next year, because the level of the group's performance this year was extraordinary.
Greg's programming was very strong with this set: the group sang his "VoiceDance IV" and "Fields of Gold," Rosana Eckert's "Afro Blue" and "Virou Areia," Darmon Meader's "Charleston Alley" and Jennifer Barnes/Mervyn Warren's arrangement of "Confide in Me." The amazing Christine Guter, director of one of the very top vocal jazz programs in the nation at CSU Long Beach, was the coordinator of the all-state group, in association with the California Alliance for Jazz.
I had a great time meeting all of the students in the ensembles, who were clearly on a high from their experience over the past few days. It was also really great to meet Daniel Vu, the talented director of Orange Lutheran High School in SoCal, who had five students in the all-state group. Finally, Julia and I enjoyed reconnecting with Holly Shaw-Slabbinck and her dad...some guy named Kirby. You may have heard of him.
After a beautiful day reconnecting and sharing our project, we headed home and worked furiously on the CD release stuff. More about that on Tuesday. :)
I missed the four day mark in the countdown to the release of our CD, which may give you an idea of how busy things are around here. It doesn't really take long to post a blog entry (I started this one 20 second ago), and I don't absolutely have to have a video of the day...but it didn't take long to find "Three Is a Magic Number" from Schoolhouse Rock by Bob Dorough, a sentimental favorite.
But I'm still running...Julia and I are performing our live Maria stuff for the first time in the new technical configuration, and we're doing it at the California Music Educators Association in downtown Sacramento this morning at 9am. The CDs still haven't arrived yet, so we're absolutely counting on them showing up Monday...they just have to, period. Pretty intense right now in a lot of ways.
I'll be posting a major announcement here and on Facebook on Tuesday, along with the CD release celebration message and a mass email that will go out to everyone we know. New promo vids for the CD, a press release, and much more to come. It's just a huge time in our lives right now. Gotta run!
We're FIVE days away from Vertical Voices!
Here to help with today's celebration...The Real Group!
SIX DAYS until our new CD drops!!
And here to help us celebrate...Take 6!
Go to www.VerticalVoices.us to pre-order either your Limited Edition CD ($18.95) or the High Quality mp3 download offer ($12.95) to get the album as soon as possible!

I'm trying an experiment with my old potting soil to try to judge its water retention. The container (pictured) has a metal screen bottom. The container is 16 inches high and I put 8 inches or so of the old potting soil in it, then watered it with one gallon of water using a watering can. The container is sitting in a big tub where I can later observe/collect how much of the water infiltrates down through the soil in a particular amount of time. So far, I've noticed, after measuring, that in one hour just about half the gallon of water poured onto the this soil in this container as described has infiltrated through. |

sgull, so, after one hour the old soil has allowed half a gallon of water to drain through "8 inches or so of the old potting soil". Is this good? Bad? Normal? One way to tell is to treat some new potting soil the same way and use the observations on the new as the 'normal'. Then you will be able to conclude that the old is better/worse/ as good as - the new. Your post takes me back to long ago and far away when we did these measurements with lysimeters. The task could change elation into frustration in a heartbeat! |
- Posted by greentoe357 7b NYC under lights (My Page) on Wed, Jan 29, 14 at 2:00
Is this good? Bad? Normal? Yeah, what's the goal of the experiment? What do you hope to learn from this? Not quite clear to me from your description. In real life water retention will be higher because in settled pots smaller particles sink to the bottom and raise the perched water table. Also, PWT will be higher still if you use a narrower containers in real life - water will be clinging to the walls to a higher or lower degree depending on the container material. This bucket looks pretty wide to me. If the goal is to saturate the soil, you may need to use more water than a gallon, use a watering can with a wide and gentle spray and to water twice (once a little, let it settle and diffuse, then water again to determine max water holding capacity). Finally, the experiment may show wrong results because the soil likely contains some water already before you start, and your retention weight will be underestimated. If the mix is totally dry, it is also likely hydrophobic, a lot or a little depending on the components, and then your water retention weight will also be underestimated because not all of it will be absorbed like it would be in real containers. So, be careful how you design the experiment. "Garbage in, garbage out", you know. |
I think there is a more accurate water absorption method, as done with the engineering materials in construction , like wood, brick, etc Take a sample of some dry mix. Lets take 1 lb . By comparing the dry and soaked/wet weight you can determine its water retention capacity. PS: you can do it with just a couple of oz or even less. JOM |
