Match Preview
Pearson to run the rule Leicester manager Nigel Pearson will check on the fitness of a handful of players ahead of the visit of Burton in the FA Cup. Winger Ben Marshall is the latest player nursing a knock after being on the receiving end of a strong tackle during the 6-1 league win over Huddersfield on New Year's Day. Defender Zak Whitbread (calf) and striker Jamie Vardy (heel) have been sidelined in recent weeks and will continue to be monitored ahead of the third-round tie. On-loan forward Jesse Lingard has returned to Manchester United, although there is still a possibility that fellow Old Trafford youngster Michael Keane could extend his stay. The defender would need permission to play in the FA Cup, and the absence of Whitbread and Sean St. Ledger (hamstring) would make his ongoing presence a boost for Pearson. It remains to be seen whether the Foxes boss will shuffle his pack for the game against the npower League Two side, with the likes of defender Liam Moore, midfielder Andy King and strikers Martyn Waghorn and Marko Futacs all vying for game time. Burton have already beaten Leicester at the King Power Stadium this season, causing an upset in the Capital One Cup with a 4-2 first round win in August. Burton could be without defender Anthony O'Connor. O'Connor, on loan from Blackburn, has been a virtual ever-present for boss Gary Rowett since arriving at the Pirelli Stadium in the summer, playing in all but two of Albion's league and cup games this season. But the right-back is nursing a hamstring injury following the league defeat at York on New Year's Day and is a major doubt ahead of the third round tie. Nathan Stanton, who missed the trip to York through suspension, is likely to deputise at right-back if O'Connor misses out - assuming skipper Zander Diamond recovers from a sickness bug. "We're hoping Zander will be better by the weekend, which will free up Stanno," said Rowett.

Our Mission To provide an environment for success that leads to sustainable economic growth in the Center City Area.Our Vision Midland Center City: A destination of choice with endless possibilities. Explore, Shop, Eat.
For more detailed information on the goals of the Center City Authority please review the Center City Development Plan here.
Center City Strategic PlanThis plan is a comprehensive five year guide for the Center City Authority to follow and is based on the input of district businesses, residents and property owners. There are three active subcommittees working on the 2012 goals and objectives defined in the Center City Strategic plan.
Center City Authority CommitteesThe Governance and Sustainability Committee is primarily responsible for supporting the needs of the Authority, more of an internal focus. This committee oversees the development and maintenance of the data used by other committees. This committee acts as a liaison to other Corridor Improvement Authorities around the state. This committee is also responsible for continuing board development. Also, the committee's main focus is on securing sustainable funding to support the Center City Authority. They will develop an operational budget for the Authority and each committee, seek out grant opportunities and review tax district mechanisms. In addition, they will continue to strengthen cooperation with other Midland entities such as the Chamber of Commerce, Circle Business Association, Downtown Development Authority, and the Midland Downtown Business Association.Chair: Clint Struthers
The Marketing Committee is primarily responsible for promoting Center City businesses and the Center City Authority. This group will organize district events, coordinate advertising opportunities, welcome new businesses to the district, network with business owners/managers and update the Organizational Development committee with current vacancy data.Chair: Julia Jodoin
The Physical Improvement Committee is primarily responsible for supporting and developing the infrastructure needs of the Center City Authority, including its roads, signage, and trees for example. The committee works with the City of Midland to find and prioritize needs in these areas, as well has help in the implementation of these projects.Chair: Ann Beck
BackgroundIn a unanimous vote on Monday, May 12, 2008, the Midland City Council approved the creation of the Corridor Improvement Authority for the Center City commercial district which includes S. Saginaw Rd. from Manor St. just north of Ashman Circle south to Patrick Rd. and Washington St. from Cambridge south to Patrick. The council agreed there was tremendous support for this based on the results of the property owner petition drive in which approximately 75% indicated their support. Many council members also received phone calls and letters from their constituents, business owners and other interested citizens in support of the creation of the Authority. The City of Midland appointed members to the board in August 2008. The currrent members include Jerry Deming – Owner of Ponderosa, Dave Ginis – Owner of Ginis Goldsmiths, Joe Kozuch – Owner of Village Green, Cliff Miles – Former City Manager and currently with Midland Tomorrow, Clint Struthers – Owner of Struthers Financial Services, Jon Lynch – City Manager, and Christine Rapanos - Owner of Rapanos Enterprises.

Mr. William driving Hyundai Sonota
  |   |   |   |
This is my 2011 Hyundai Sonata 2.0. It comes with 6-speed auto, Dual CVVT engine. First i went to After12 Motorsport and install Qmax Voltage Stabilizer ,Qmax Grounding Cable,Qmax nano Air 2pcs and Nano Fuel 6pcs. Compare to before, now my car is easier to start, engine response very good and better than before. Besides that engine sound more solid, kind of like BMW vehicle. Before that the fuel consumption about 9.61/100km, after install getting 8.01/100Km. For 0-100Km/h, over ½ second faster that before.
 Mr. Nozilan driving Toyota Vios

I have installed the Qmax grounding cable and Qmax Volt Stabilizer for my vios at one of your dealer, Kaitenaz Racing. Thumb up for your product, my car response and torque very noticeable difference. My car already lightly modded with aftermarket intake, exhaust, extractor and whole bunch load of other item from Sun Auto and Pivot. None of it give the additional punch until i installed the Qmax grounding cable(3-plus1+). Later, i getting another set of Qmax grounding cable (2-plus1+) for my Myvi.
Mr. Ryan APM Dragon Racer
A normal life span of a stock standard maintenance free battery can last up to 1 to 1.5 year before change. With Qmax Grounding Cable, Qmax Voltage Stabilizer and Qmax NanoTech, my maintenance free battery still running on a 100% charging after 3 years. Engine response is so much better during acceleration and a result proven increased in horsepower. Thanks to Qmax Racing for such awesome products.
Mr. Alan Mu Street Car CLASS 2 Novice Champion (PERODUA 1.3)
  |   |
I am Alan Mu, owner of a Perodua Myvi 1.3 was quite skeptical when I first heard about the mentioned product. The claimed advantages of the product just seems too good to be true, but relented to have it installed due to the superb salesmanship of the sales person at V-Class Motorsport (M) Sdn Bhd.
After driving my car for a couple of days after the installation of the Qmax Grounding Cable and Qmax Voltage Stabilizer, it was signing a different tune, which was full of praises for the positive results I purchased from the product.
In the past, my car felt lethargic when going up a steep slope, but this is now a thing of the past as a significant increase in torque and horsepower can be felt, resulting in a better throttle response. Besides this, engine start-up and idling stability has also improved significantly. Another thing that put a smile on my face was that, I was getting more mileage for my tank of petrol, a surprise to me with the enhancement in engine performance would meant a 'thirsty' engine.
"Armed" with an enhanced car, I had recently participated in the Rally X Series Sepang 2009 Street Car Class 2 Novice, emerging as champion in this class. I gather that the Qmax Nano Technology Grounding Alternator Charging Power Booster Cable should get part of the credit for this successful run
Feedback from lowyat forum members (Qmax engine oil)

Mr. Kelvin Installed Qmax products on sound system
I love everything about audio and when I first heard of Qmax products could help in improving my sound system, I couldn't believe it.

Last Thursday, the legendary Beaux Arts Trio played its final American concert at the venue where it debuted 53 years ago: The Tanglewood Festival in Massachusetts. We'll take you there for the final piece on the program, a piano trio by Schubert, followed by an encore by Dvorak.
Aug 26
A Chinese folk tale became music in the hands of composers Chen Gang and He Zhanhao. And violinist Gil Shaham decided that he wanted to share this beautiful piece with the world. He's joined by Lan Shui and the Singapore Symphony for the "Butterfly Lovers" Violin Concerto.
Aug 25
In honor of the 90th anniversary of the birth of composer and conductor Leonard Bernstein, we'll have performances of his work from London's BBC Proms. Cellist Han-Na Chang is the soloist with the BBC National Orchestra of Wales for three meditations from Bernstein's "Mass." And clarinetist Michael Collins performs Bernstein's "Prelude, Fugue and Riffs" with Charles Hazelwood and the BBC Concert Orchestra.
Aug 23
This weekend on PT, pianist Jon Kimura Parker joins us for a conversation and music of Alexina Louie and Peter Schickele. Then we are off to Portland, OR for a performance by a string quartet from San Francisco, CA. Quartet San Francisco plays an arrangement of Dave Brubeck's "Blue Rondo a la Turk".
Aug 22
Richard Strauss took works of literature and translated them into instrumental pieces for orchestra that he called "tone poems." We'll have a pair of them from concerts in Europe. Christoph von Dohnanyi leads the North German Radio Symphony in "Don Juan" in Hamburg, Germany. Then Mark Elder conducts the Halle Orchestra in "Till Eulenspiegel's Merry Pranks" at London"s BBC Proms.
Aug 21
Pianist Jon Kimura Parker sits down with host Fred Child to talk about Mozart cadenzas. Parker throws in all sorts of musical references in his cadenzas, which is what makes them so special. And a little controversial. We'll hear him perform Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 21 with the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra.
Aug 20
Lang Lang isn't the only young Chinese pianist causing an international stir. Yundi Li is also a flamboyant, exciting player. We'll go to Los Angeles to catch him playing a fantastic showcase for his talents -- Franz Liszt's Piano Concerto No. 1--with Leonard Slatkin and the L.A. Philharmonic.
Aug 19
We'll go to London's Royal Albert Hall to hear a BBC Proms performance of Antonin Dvorak's sumptuous Sixth Symphony. Yakov Kreizberg leads the Netherlands Philharmonic. Also from the Proms: Sibelius'"Night Ride and Sunrise" from Edward Gardner and the BBC Symphony, and the King's Singers with music of Orlando di Lasso.
Aug 18
If you thought cowboys couldn't dance, you'd be wrong. Argentinian composer Alberto Ginastera wrote a ballet called "Estancia" about the cowboys of South America, including a foot-stomping final dance. We'll hear a suite from that ballet. Conductor David Zinman led the Aspen Chamber Symphony in a performance of the Estancia Suite last month at the Aspen Music Festival.
Aug 16
Point/counterpoint: Violinist Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg says you don't have to change the notes to improvise -- interpretation is a form of improv. Pianist Robert Levin disagrees. We'll consider the question by comparing VERY different versions of the Bach Goldberg Variations. AND... some composers have written pieces intended to sound like improv, but... you have to play the notes they wrote. Schubert "Impromptus," and Poulenc "Improvisations."
Aug 15
Every time pianist Robert Levin plays a concerto by Mozart or Beethoven, he improvises the cadenzas. And even improvises along with the orchestra during their passages. He says Mozart and Beethoven would have done the same, and argues that you MUST improvise in these works to be in the true spirit of the music. Levin joins host Fred Child for some lively conversation and demonstration (improvising three wildly different versions of the same Beethoven cadenza), and we'll hear him improvise his way through Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 4 in concert in Copenhagen.
Aug 14
It used to be that all classical musicians could improvise. That was just part of the job. Over the years, it's become something of a lost art among performers. With one notable exception. The tradition of improvisation has never died out among organists. Why? Michael Barone, host of "Pipedreams," and organist Cameron Carpenter both comment on that question. Carpenter also demonstrates his improvisational skill in concert. Join us as we continue our look at improvisation in classical music.
Aug 13
Point/counterpoint: Violinist Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg says you don't have to change the notes to improvise -- interpretation is a form of improv. Pianist Robert Levin disagrees. We'll consider the question by comparing VERY different versions of the Bach Goldberg Variations: Glenn Gould vs. Simone Dinnerstein. AND... some composers have written pieces intended to sound like improv, but... you have to play the notes they wrote. Schubert "Impromptus," and Poulenc "Improvisations."
Aug 12
A pianist who can't HELP improvising: Gabriela Montero in the PT studios. She takes a call from a PT listener, who sings a tune. Montero improvises around it on the spot. Plus, we'll have an interview with pianist Lang Lang from the 2008 Olympics in Beijing.
Aug 11
We're going to spend part of each day this week exploring improvisation in classical music. It used to be a vital part of every musician's skill set. What changed and why? We'll have conversations with a pair of experts on baroque improvisation - guitarist Rolf Lislevand and recorder virtuoso Matthias Maute - and listen to them play music of Vivaldi and Johann Kapsberger.
Aug 9
Join us for an interview with the Ying Quartet from this summer's Aspen Music Festival. They'll play music of Mendelssohn, and also Chinese-American composer Chou Wen-Chung.
Aug 8
In honor of the opening of the Olympics in Beijing, we'll present music of Chinese and Chinese-American composers and performers. Among them is pianist Lang Lang, who plays five Chinese songs in Fort Worth. And the Ying Quartet will talk about and play music of Haydn and Lei-Leung at Colorado's Aspen Festival.
Aug 7
Amid the symphonies around it in Beethoven's canon, his Eighth may look small and insubstantial. But the composer himself was very fond of it. We'll go to Los Angeles to hear Esa-Pekka Salonen lead the L.A. Philharmonic in concert at Walt Disney Concert Hall.
Aug 6
Not everyone likes conductor Sir Roger Norrington's preference to have no vibrato in the strings for any piece written before 1930. But it brings an interesting character to the Haydn Cello Concerto that Jean-Guihen Queyras played a couple of weeks ago at London's BBC Proms with Norrington and the Stuttgart Radio Symphony.
Aug 5
Richard Strauss' tone poem, "Also Sprach Zarathustra," is legendary for the compelling opening that graced the soundtrack of "2001: A Space Odyssey." But it's over 30 minutes of magnificent music, which we'll hear performed at Switzerland's Lucerne Festival by Mariss Jansons and the Bavarian Radio Symphony.
Aug 4
Last week, conductor Mark Elder and England's Halle Orchestra performed a very well-received BBC Proms concert at London's Royal Albert Hall. We'll take you there to hear a performance of George Butterworth's moving rhapsody, "A Shropshire Lad," and violinist Janine Jansen playing Max Bruch's First Violin Concerto.
Aug 2
By Leonard Slatkin's count, there are over 80 different orchestrations of Modest Mussorgsky's "Pictures at an Exhibition." He tapped into 15 of them to create a unique version of the work. He leads the Nashville Symphony in a performance of it at the Schermerhorn Symphony Center in Nashville.

Knife set
I have only used two of the knives because I am having my kitchen redone but am very pleased. I have never had a good knife set.
I purchased this knife set because I wanted and needed a good knife set. I have been using it now for about 2 weeks, and so far this is a nice knife set. I like how the handles just fit into your hand. I think I am going to really enjoy this knife set overall.
Received the knives in a timely manner. Very satisfied so far. Small enough block to fit in my kitchen well.
Excellent set of knives
This set of knives has made a real difference in my cooking. The set is perfect in that in includes all the knives you need and none that you don't. The knives are incredibly sharp and easy to keep sharp and the handles are very comfortable. The chef's knife is the best that I've used.
- Yes,
- I recommend this product.

One common drawback to apartments is that views are often unidirectional. This apartment was different. Located in New York City, it had views in three directions, including sightlines to Central Park, but it failed to fully exploit their potential. That's the principal problem the owners sought architect Louise Braverman's help to correct. "The main goal of the project was to open it up and bring in the light," she says.
Braverman first gutted most of the interior and positioned new walls to achieve uninterrupted sightlines. "I wanted to create axial and cross-axial views to get the sense you are in a tower," she says. Now the owners can sit in one space and see into a second or third area of the apartment. The spatial trick "makes the apartment feel expansive and gives the illusion that it is bigger than the square footage." Sliding doors open it up even more or, when needed, sever the space into private sleeping alcoves for visitors.
This was an enjoyable project, Braverman says, because the clients were open to ideas like the light trays and floating glass shelves. "These contribute to the lightness of the space," she says. "The design makes it seem as if everything is floating."

I wrote a short item on Dan Froomkin's firing for FAIR's radio show CounterSpin today: One of the bright spots at the Washington Post media enterprise was Dan Froomkin's column, "White House Watch," for WashingtonPost.com. It often struck us that Froomkin had a whole different attitude–skeptical of those in power, and critical of their journalistic enablers–than most of his colleagues at the Post Co. So it was perhaps not too surprising to hear that Froomkin, one of the Post's most popular online writers, had been fired–not long after his column was placed under the authority of editorial page editor Fred […]
Froomkin's Column Never Liked: 'It Contains Opinion'
By 2 Comments
Blogger Jane Hamsher (FireDogLake.com, 6/19/09) thinks that Salon's "Glenn Greenwald says most of what needs to be said about the Washington Post's firing of Dan Froomkin," on June 18, but has her own "insight into "the early rounds of this battle" over the left-leaning columnist, having "watched it ferment over the years." Hamsher explains that Post ombud Debbie Howell's characterization of Froomkin as "highly opinionated and liberal" really "was the consensus of the newsroom, where it was believed–correctly–that Froomkin's writing about the war and U.S. foreign policy were an inherent criticism of the WaPo's own coverage and editorial position": And […]

Blakeney Point, which is celebrating the 100th anniversary of when it was handed over the the National Trust to become Norfolk's first nature reserve. PHOTO: ANTONY KELLY
By STEVE DOWNES
Saturday, April 21, 2012
One of the polished medals on the lapel of Nelson's County is about to hit 100 - but has a host of challenges to face as it embarks on its second century.
One hundred years ago in August, Blakeney Point became Norfolk's first national nature reserve when it was handed to the National Trust by Edwardian philanthropists with a love of the natural world.
With its ton up, its wardens and managers are facing a trident of challenges - the annual increase in visitors, the impact of coastal erosion and the less certain side-effects of global warming.
In 1912, the Point was bought for £695, to save it from the property developers who were circling like ravenous birds of prey.
But what price would you put on Blakeney Point today?
The spectacular sand and shingle spit flicks out into the North Sea as it rests on the crown of Norfolk. And its cute curl adds a cow-lick of character to that head, which is already blessed with enviable beauty.
It is a rare example of somewhere that successfully balances sensitive conservation needs while catering for the curiosity of more than 100,000 visitors each year.
And it is easy to see why this magnificent magnet attracts so many people.
On its northern side, the moody sea laps or lashes at the shingle. And the view from the south of the Point is arguably unrivalled - a magical merger of marshes, coastal creeks, varied vessels and the distant dwellings of Morston and Blakeney, nestling in the cup of the land's hand.
A dizzying 360-degree skyscape enables visitors to watch the rapidly-changing weather. The Point is one of those places that does justice to the phrase "four seasons in one day", as warm sunshine can be swiftly elbowed aside by an aggressive cloudburst or a whipping wind that comes direct from the North Pole.
That beauty is equally a blessing and a curse for the Point, which is attracting an ever growing number of admirers.
And, as more people catch on to the idea of holidaying in Norfolk, the task of balancing access and conservation is becoming more challenging for the wardens and managers.
Graham Lubbock, a coastal warden who grew up at Cley and who has worked for the National Trust at Blakeney Point for 28 years, said he had seen changes.
"There's far more people coming here than in the past. And it's not so seasonal. If it's a nice day in December, we'll get visitors.
"We have to work hard to get right the balance between conservation and access."
If anyone is tempted to take this timeless treasure for granted, they should know that it was the vision of one man, allied to the determination of the National Trust, that stopped it from being privately owned, with the risk of the bird populations being hunted to extinction.
In Victorian times, collecting bird's eggs and the practice of taxidermy - or "trophy hunting" - were popular gentlemen's pastimes. They also had a penchant for collecting the feathers of rare bird species to give to their wives to adorn their clothes.
Blakeney Point was one of a number of popular spots for the hunters and collectors on the Norfolk coast, and some cherished species were becoming endangered.
It also used to be visited by people on "Point Sundays" - the one day off each week, when hundreds of people would board a flotilla of small boats, towed by a large vessel, to relax at Blakeney Point.
The Point was owned at the turn of the 19th century by Lord Calthorpe, who had a large estate in the area.
In 1908, Professor Francis Oliver from University College London (UCL) was in the area to recuperate after a bout of pleurisy. He recognised the importance of Blakeney Point and, with Lord Calthorpe's agreement, did various studies there - leading to the establishment of the first laboratory at the Point in 1910. The laboratory is still there, and is used by teams of undergraduates from UCL.
However, when Lord Calthorpe died soon afterwards, his estate was broken up. And various chunks were bought by property developer Alexander Crundall, with a view selling them on.
Prof Oliver was horrified, fearing that Blakeney Point could be developed - or overrun by the trophy hunters, triggering the demise of a host of precious birds.
He led a public appeal, drawing in many influential people and, with strong financial support from the banker and entomologist Charles Rothschild, Blakeney Point was bought from Mr Crundall for £695.
In August 1912, it was handed to the fledgling conservation body, the National Trust, to become Norfolk's first nature reserve.
The tug-of-war between conservationists and wildfowlers was neatly summed up by the fact that the first warden at the Point was Bob Pinchen, from Cley, who was also a wildfowler.
The National Trust gave him a "you're either for us or against us" ultimatum, and Mr Pinchen chose to put down his gun and protect the very birds that once were in his sights.
Iain Wolfe, National Trust visitor services manager for the north Norfolk coast, including Blakeney National Nature Reserve, said the purchase of Blakeney Point was a model that was followed at other beauty spots across the UK.
He said: "If the National Trust hadn't taken over, the bird population would've been decimated.
"Before that, most people did not necessarily think about conservation. They had many other things on their minds. But the purchase of Blakeney Point was fundamental in setting the tone for the way things are done today."
The Point used to be home to a large common seal colony. But in the late 1980s, the larger and more aggressive grey seals began to appear, driven by their need to give birth on land, rather than in the water, as the common seals can.
The first recorded grey seal pup was born on the Point in 2002. In 2011, there were 933, part of a burgeoning colony numbering a few thousand.
Those seals are a leading attraction, and thousands of visitors take boat trips to see them, organised for decades by the Temples and the Beans.
In the spring and summer, the Point turns into a ternery, with large, carefully-protected colonies of sandwich, little and common terns, plus a few arctic terns.
Their nesting areas are cordoned off and patrolled by wardens - with some success, as last year the Point hosted the largest tern colonies in Norfolk.
They are notoriously nervous birds, so there is a determined drive to keep visitors away from the cordoned-off ground-nesting sites. Dogs are banned from that part of the Point, too, while there remains the very real threat of egg collectors stealing in at night to boost their burgeoning - and illegal - hauls.
From April to October, seasonal wardens Paul Nicholls and Ajay Tegala live in the shed next to the Point's visitor centre, and work from dawn until dusk to monitor and protect the colonies.
Mr Tegala has done the job before, and has returned this year - even though the second three months will be unpaid.
He said: "It's a beautiful job. I enjoy engaging with the public and observing and protecting the wildlife."
"Beautiful" hardly begins to describe the Point - or the job, which is enough to summon the green-eyed monster in many people.
To create a diversion, perhaps those green eyes should focus on the future.
For, alongside the human challenges, nature has some curve-balls to deliver.
Natural coastal processes mean the Point is growing longer at its western tip, as sand is scoured and deposited.
And global warming casts a shadow, the length of which cannot be quantified. Will it mean more frequent flooding, or could the warmer temperatures alter the range of species that are present?
It all adds up to more than enough to keep the National Trust brow furrowed as the Blakeney Point reserve embarks on its second century.

If You Don't Look Organized, You Won't Appear PreparedBy Tim KoegelIf you don't look organized, you won't appear prepared. Use your pre-presentation presence and demeanor to help build rapport, radiate confidence and reflect a high level of preparation. By being set up and prepared, you send a strong message to your audience that you are ready to provide them with valuable and insightful information. Thorough presentation preparation will add to your confidence level and ease some of the nervousness that typically accompanies a presentation. Remember that the tone of your presentation is set before the presentation begins. In order to create the best possible atmosphere for your presentation, implement the following 3 steps: 1) As you prepare your presentation, first determine the 1, 2, or at most 3 key points. If they forget everything else you say, what must the audience remember? Plan to state those points in the first 60-90 seconds of your presentation. 2) Arrive 60 minutes early. Use the first 40 minutes to set up and prepare. Use the final 20 minutes to meet and greet the participants. Learn more about the attendees, their interests and their expectations. 3) Begin the presentation with a 3-second pause and total eye contact with your audience. DO NOT begin your presentation while you are flipping through your notes, shuffling papers or grooming yourself (straightening your tie, buttoning your jacket, tucking in your shirt). If you tend to get off to a slow start with your audiences, take the time to evaluate how you are conducting your pre-presentation routine. Perhaps your demeanor is radiating negative impressions. Do you appear interested in the audience? Do your interactions with audience members appear relaxed and engaging or do you seem to brush off the people you meet in order to get back to setting up? Try to talk with the leaders of the group. Make the conversations interesting and lively. If the rest of the audience sees you interacting with the group leadership in a positive way, your rapport with the rest of the audience will be enhanced. And this is before you even begin. What your audience sees prior to your presentation can determine how much respect and attention they give to you. Voice Mail Messages Are Mini Presentations Every voice mail message is a short yet important presentation. In these days of go, go, go, busy, busy, busy, voice mail has become a dreaded yet essential part of doing business. Take two minutes to organize your thoughts prior to leaving a message and the odds of connecting on that message go up dramatically. The same organizational techniques that apply to a presentation apply to voice mail. Identify yourself. Immediately define the key points you want the person to remember. Then provide a compelling reason for the person to get back with you. Make it a practice to check your messages before sending them. If you sound unenthused or if you have used "verbal graffiti" (ums, uhs, you knows), erase and re-record. Keep your message concise. Be as efficient as possible. Rambling is a great way to get 3-3-7ed. In other words, it's a great way to get your message DELETED. Raise your hand if you've ever been leaving a voice mail message only to be cut off because you ran out of recording time. My hand is up. It's embarrassing, isn't it? If it happens, don't call back to use up more time finishing your message. Instead, erase and re-record but this time deliver a more focused and concise message. Always state your name and leave your phone number, twice. Give the listener a fighting chance to write down your name and number. It's frustrating to suffer through a longwinded message only to miss the number because the person leaving the message shifted into hyper speed when saying the number. The listener has to listen to the message two or three times in order to write down the entire number. Many people will simply not take the time to listen to the message again. Make your voice mail messages count. Think of them as mini presentations.

Wolford Mountain Area
The public lands within the Wolford Mountain Area offer a wide variety of recreational opportunities including hiking, wildlife viewing, picnicking, sightseeing, fishing, hunting, horseback riding, mountain biking, camping, and vehicle touring.
The area's existing network of primitive roads and trails has been established over many years by local ranchers, recreationists, cattle, and wildlife. In January 2005, the Kremmling Field Office completed designations for the road and trail network, resulting in a system of route opportunities for travel by foot, horse, mountain bike, motorcycle, ATV, and 4x4.
Each road and trail should be signed for the appropriate type of use; however if for some reason a route does not have a sign indicating the type of use allowed, then the route should be considered CLOSED.
Hiking in the Wolford Mountain Area
Wolford Mountain provides unrestricted hiking and jogging use throughout the area, with one mile of trail designated for foot travel only, and a 2.3 mile motorcycle trail is closed to motorcycle use annually from September 16th to May 31st of the following year to provide for a 'quiet use' period for non-motorized users on the slopes and summit of Wolford Mountain.
ACEC Trail
Wolford Reservoir Trail

CHICAGO - The Chicago Blackhawks say injured forward Patrick Sharp will miss Friday's game at Colorado.
Sharp left Wednesday's 3-2 home win over the Avalanche with what looked like a shoulder injury after being checked along the boards by Colorado's Ryan O'Byrne. Coach Joel Quenneville said afterward Sharp might miss some time.
The Blackhawks also said Marian Hossa was travelling with the team after being scratched from Wednesday's game with an upper body injury, as was Andrew Shaw after taking an elbow to the chin from Paul Stastny.
Michael Frolik (illness) was expected to meet the team in Denver before Friday's game.
The Blackhawks also recalled forward Brandon Bollig from the Rockford IceHogs of the American Hockey League.

NEW HANOVER COUNTY -- Time is up for state Rep. Thomas Wright.
The state Board of Elections is sending another letter his way -- this one will terminate the active status of his campaign finance committee.
That means Wright can no longer receive any contributions or make any expenditures until he files his long overdue semi-annual finance report and pays any late fees.
The Wake County district attorney is also looking into possible criminal violations.

Die casting is the process of forcing molten metal under high pressure into mold cavities (which are machined into dies). Most die castings are made from non-ferrous metals, specifically zinc and aluminum. The die casting method is especially suited for applications where a large quantity of small to medium sized parts are needed with good detail, a fine surface quality and dimensional consistency.

I am a new student at the School of Nursing and have been using the
Tompkins-McCaw library much this summer. I will to use TML into the
forthcoming semesters. However, I have a few observations, The Men's
bathroom on the main floor has been in a state of disrepair since late
May, whether it is the lack of cleanliness, broken fixtures or the poor
plumbing, there seems to be a real contradiction in terms here given the
fact that TML is used by mainly future healthcare professionals. It
would be nice to see this part of the facility improved.
My other suggestion is that the door leading from the main floor to the
stacks be fixed or replaced. I am not sure if it is the hinges or the
pneumatic hinge at the top of the door or the door just not being
aligned correctly but every time it is opened or closed it serves as a
distraction to all who are within earshot to both those in the stacks or
those on the main floor. I am sure this is a simple repair or
replacement and it would go a long way to removing a distraction from
the library.
Thank you for taking these suggestions into consideration.
From: an undergraduate student
Jodi Koste, Head of TML Resources and Operations, replies…
Welcome to VCU and thank you for taking the time to submit your suggestions. The doors to Stack Level C are old and quite noisy. The high humidity of the summers plays havoc with our older doors. We have submitted a request to VCU Physical Plant to make adjustments so that the doors will close more quietly.
The restrooms in our aging building are also a challenge. They are cleaned nightly with some limited mid-day service. Our staff periodically inspects the facility along with the University's contractor administrator for housekeeping services. We realized that the restrooms are not always up to the standards maintained in other buildings on the MCV Campus which must meet requirements for clinical facilities. Nevertheless we do try to address both cleanliness and facilities issues in our restrooms. If you encounter future problems with the restrooms, please report them to the TML Service Desk and we will do our best to resolve them. We do hope to renovate and update our restroom facilities in the future.

EUGENE, Ore. — A new report says Oregon's Latino population is a growing economic force.
A report from CAUSA reveals the community's role in the economy.
Local business organizations, like the Eugene Chamber of Commerce, all seem to agree that the Latino population is helping to strengthen our economy.
"I never really had any hang-ups of being Latino. I think with all of the families starting businesses here, they don't see themselves as obstacles. They just go for the opportunities," said local business owner Teresa Nanakornpanom.
That's why Nanakornpanom says she's not surprised the number of Latino workers is growing in Oregon.
CAUSA used the 2010 Census and the American Community Survey to figure out 67.5 percent of the Latino population is in the workforce.
That's nearly 3 percent higher than the general population.
"Latino businesses are a growing influence in our state. They are an economic force, and they are a force in the entrepreneurial and small business community," said Eugene Chamber of Commerce President David Hauser.
For evidence, look no further than the Latino Business Network, which was created in 2006.
"They're going to provide employment. They're going to give back to the community, and they're going to contribute to causes. So it's important. Their success is important to the regional economy in so many ways," Hauser said.
Local economists back that up by saying Latinos did very well during the recession.
"In 2010, they had a much lower unemployment rate and there were more Latinos in the workforce than the white population or the two or more race populations. So they actually very much contributed to the economy in 2010," said WorkSource Lane Analyst Kim Thompson.
Despite the growth, some say it can still be hard to get past the stereotypes.
"It's tough. I think a lot of the Latino community is struggling right now trying to fit in. I think we all have the same goals. But because of legislation and all that's going on, it makes it difficult," said Latino Business Network Chair Alicia Rosen.
Thompson says while a large percentage of Latinos are in the labor force, they make considerably less than other populations. She thinks this could be attributed to the type of work they're doing.

Fit-again Daniel Agger has vowed Liverpool will get things right and drag themselves out of their current crisis.
Five defeats this season already in all competitions has turned a harsh spotlight on Liverpool ahead of tonight's Champions League Group E home clash with Lyon.
For Agger, 24, it will be his first game at Anfield this season after a painful back injury that needed a summer operation.
He has been able to play in two games for Denmark this month, guiding them to the World Cup finals, and now he must repeat his classy defending of last season to help solve Liverpool's woes.
Agger claims "having Steven Gerrard back from injury will be a real inspiration," but he also knows a team effort is needed now.
Agger said: "The results have not been right, but we know what we are capable of and we know that only hard work will get us the results we need.
"Confidence is still there, we know we are a good team and we just need to show it on the pitch.
"I do not believe that four Premier League defeats means the title race is over. There is a long way to go, a good result in Europe this week will then set us up to play Manchester United on Sunday."
On his own battle for fitness, Agger added: "It is always difficult when you are injured and on the sidelines for a long while, I found it hard. But I set myself a target date to return and I have worked hard to reach it.
"I never had any doubts that the back problem would not be solved, everyone knew what was wrong.
"Now it takes time for me to get back to the levels of fitness and performance that I had beforehand. "

Kiss And Def Leppard Announce 42-City Joint Summer Tour
Tuesday, March 18, 2014
Kiss and Def Leppard have announced one of the hottest double bills of the summer, with the bands joining forces to hit both arenas and sheds all over North America. The tour kicks off on June 23rd in West Valley, Utah at the USANA Amphitheater and winds down on August 31st in Woodlands, Texas at Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion.
The two bands held a joint press conference on L.A.'s Sunset Strip at the House Of Blues. Paul Stanley explained that although Def Leppard and Kiss have no shared history -- they've been equal admirers for decades: "We've run into each other at festivals and, y'know, it just seemed a natural fit. At some point it really becomes important to go out there and give everybody bang for buck. Give everybody something more, perhaps, than other bands are. We have history of going out there and trying to do the greatest shows possible. Summer is a great time to go out, enjoy yourself, you can go out with your family, just go out on a date — but in any case, you want full night. And you're not going to hear more better songs than with the two of us. I wanna just hang around and listen to these guys (applause)."

Lindsay Lohan: I've got a boyfriend
Lindsay Lohan has reportedly revealed she has a boyfriend - although it's not clear whether she means former fling Calum Best or her rumoured rehab beau.
Lindsay is currently in the "extended care" programme with Promises to help her make the transistion from rehab back into her normal life - and she thinks her new man will help her make that move.
The Mirror has quoted her as saying: "I have a boyfriend now and pretty soon I'll be going home to LA, so everything will become much calmer."
Calum pledged to check into rehab himself in May after admitting cocaine addiction but has yet to do so.
