BROOKLANDS - the world's first purpose-built motor racing circuit, constructed at Weybridge, Surrey in 1907 - was more than a great sporting arena. Brooklands was the birthplace of British motorsport and aviation, home of Concorde and the site of many engineering and technological achievements throughout eight decades of the 20th century.
The Museum displays a wide range of Brooklands-related motoring and aviation exhibits ranging from giant racing cars, motorcycles and bicycles to an unparalleled collection of Hawker and Vickers/ BAC-built aircraft, including the Second World War Wellington Bomber, Viking, Varsity, Viscount, Vanguard, VC10, BAC One-Eleven and the only Concorde with public access in South East England.
We hold a wide range of special events, mainly on weekends and during school holidays. These include car club visits (often with Test Hill in action), Auto Italia Italian Car Day,The Brooklands Double Twelve Motorsport Festival, aviation events and car rides on weekdays during school holidays. See our Events pages for further details.
Brooklands Museum Trust is an independent charitable trust whose aims are to preserve and interpret the heritage of Brooklands and to use that heritage to inspire and educate future generations. Our vision is:
Through inventiveness, expertise and above all, a sense of adventure, Brooklands changed the world. Building on that amazing legacy, we will use those qualities to inspire future generations to shape their world.
See the " Brooklands Modern Videos" section of http://www.andysvideo.com for films taken at event days and recording aircraft moves etc.

At this stage your question sounds like this:
I want to fly around the world in a plane, should it be red or white?
Please, as I said, no disrespect.
I was raised sailing. First a venture, then a hunter, the a cal, then a sunfish, then an O'day, then a scorpion , now a san juan, being from southern Louisiana I also have experince in jon boats, go devils, canoes, pirogues, and upside down garbarge can lids(the round ones with handles on th side) when the streets would flood. I learned to use a sextant before I learned to drive a car, I still question my driving ability.
As far as effort is concerned I own and have read many books, watched dvd's, and read all the magazines.
I was hoping for a little insight on draft. If you take all the books I have read and combine the information you will find that every boat is good enough and no boat is good enough. Thought someone might have something to say that might give me a different point of view to consider.

"I was looking for a postcard where i could upload quite a few pictures and edit the wording. I was able to speak with a customer serice rep and who was more than helpful, making the entire process easy. I received the postcards quickly and they look great. I truly appreciate the professionalism of Wedding Divas and will definitely use you again in the future."
"I love this product, although the size of this postcard could be bigger. The quality of the photo/print is good, although it is no classic high gloss photo print, but it is better describable. I can recommend this item."
"I was absolutely surprised with how fast we received these. The quality of the card and the design was amazing! Our friends and family cannot stop saying how much they love them."
"Loved how easy it was to upload and edit our picture! We wanted the pictured to look timeless so we went with black and white. The paper quality was good, looked like it would hold up good in mail. I especially liked how the company called me to check my email to proofread before they would further process our order. I thought that was great! The feedback from our family has been great! They love them! How cute.."
"Having already purchased stationary for my recent wedding, the "Thank You" cards were a no-brainer. This design is a perfect way to show off the theme of your wedding. I love that you can include several pictures, since it's so hard to choose! The quality is spectacular, and the delivery time is un-matched. It was purchased on a wednesday and arrived on the monday (I live in Canada!). Amazing. I've never been disappointed with this website, and I've purchased multiple products. Great choice."

Remove everything from shelf drawer is under. Remove everything in drawer. Remove the drawer itself. Remove the shelf the drawer slides underneath of by lifting front of shelf until legs unhook, then wiggle or gently pull until it releases from pieces legs hook into (each leg has one hook). Shelf should pull out with rails and legs attached. Remove screw with philips head screwdriver. I used a Stanley brand nut driver with philips and flathead bits included, $5 at Wal-Mart. Remove the screw holding the rail and leg together. Remove rail and replace with like part. Install screw. Hang shelf. Install drawer. Put all yer stuff back on shelf and in drawer. $50 cause step-son's kids like to pull out drawer and hang on it, go figure. Very simple fix. Do not lose screw! I put all my parts (drawer, shelf, rails, screw) on my kitchen counter. Mate your rail by aligning flat side of rail to inside flat surface of leg. Takes about five minutes. I would say good luck but you will not need it. Thank you PartsSelect for having such a user-friendly website!

Someone asked me the other day if I could name a movie that was entirely devoid of clichés. I thought for a moment, and then answered, "My Dinner With Andre." Now I have seen the movie again; a restored print is going into release around the country, and I am impressed once more by how wonderfully odd this movie is, how there is nothing else like it. It should be unwatchable, and yet those who love it return time and again, enchanted.
The title serves as a synopsis. We meet the playwright Wallace Shawn, on his way to have dinner with "a man I'd been avoiding, literally, for a matter of years." The man is Andre Gregory, a well-known New York theater director. Gregory had dropped out of sight, Shawn tells us, and there were reports that he was "traveling." Then one evening recently, a friend had come across him in Manhattan, leaning against a building and weeping. Gregory had just come from an Ingmar Bergman movie, and was shattered by this dialogue: "I could always live in my art, but not in my life."
Wally and Andre meet, sit down, talk for almost two hours. As in all conversations, the tide of energy flows back and forth, but mostly it is Andre doing the talking, and Wally the listening. Wally is a man who likes to wrap himself in cozy domesticity. He is round, earnest, squinting; the character he played in "Manhattan" was described by Woody Allen as a "homunculus"--one of those little men in bottles in the laboratory of Dr. Praetorious. His father, William, was for many years the editor of the New Yorker. "When I was young and rich," he says, "all I thought about was art and music. Now I'm 36, and all I think about is money." His friend Andre is tall, thin, angular. He has returned from far-off lands with strange tales, which he relates with twinkling eagerness.
We listen with Wally as Andre tells of trips to Tibet, the Sahara and a mystical farm in England. Of being buried alive and conducting theatrical rituals by moonlight in Poland. Of being in church when "a huge creature appeared with violets growing out of its eyelids, and poppies growing out of its toenails." After this last statement, Wally desperately tries to find a conversational segue and seizes on the violets. "Did you ever see that play `Violets Are Blue'?" he asks. "About people being strangled on submarines?"
Like many great movies, "My Dinner With Andre" is almost impossible to nail down. "Two men talk and eat (in real time) at a fancy New York restaurant," writes CineBooks. Wrong, and wrong. Not in real time but filmed with exquisite attention to the smallest details by director Louis Malle over a period of weeks. And not in a New York restaurant but on a studio set. The conversation that flows so spontaneously between Andre Gregory and Wallace Shawn was carefully scripted. "They taped their conversations two or three times a week for three months," Pauline Kael writes, "and then Shawn worked for a year shaping the material into a script, in which they play comic distillations of aspects of themselves."
Comic? Yes. Although the conversation is often despairing (Gregory speculates that the 1960s were "the last burst of the human being before he was extinguished"), the material is given a slight sly rotation toward the satirical. There is a lot to think about in the torrent of ideas, but also a saving humor. Gregory plays a man besotted by the ideas of the new age; he almost glows when he tells Shawn about an agricultural commune in Britain where instead of using insecticides, "they will talk to the insects, make an agreement, set aside one vegetable patch just for the insects."
Wally's response to this is exasperation. What he basically wants from his life, he says, is to write his plays, pay his bills and enjoy that nice hot cup of coffee in the morning, with the Times delivered right to his door. He likes simple pleasures: having dinner with his girlfriend Debbie. Sleeping under an electric blanket. Reading the autobiography of Charlton Heston. Near the end of the film, he launches into an impassioned defense of the scientific method. While superstition might have seemed reasonable in ignorant centuries, he argues, he is no longer prepared to believe that a fortune cookie contains his fortune, or that "omens" have anything at all to do with whether an airplane will successfully complete its flight.
Andre doesn't really question the scientific method. He simply doesn't find it helpful. At a time when men are starving for new visions and ideas, he feels, the quest for transcendence is important even if there is, in fact, no transcendence to be found. On and on the two friends talk, while a spectral waiter with a facial tic (Jean Lenauer) serves their dinner like the ghost at Macbeth's banquet.
I saw "My Dinner With Andre" at its first public screening, at the 1981 Telluride Film Festival. During the standing ovation, I found that the two men seated directly behind me were Gregory and Shawn. Few people knew who they were when they entered the theater. Now they would never be forgotten where films were taken seriously.
The story of their film is one of serendipity. How as the two old friends talked they began to see how their conversation might be shaped into a play--or perhaps a film. How Louis Malle (1932-1995), the gifted French director ("Lacombe, Lucien," "Pretty Baby," "Atlantic City," "Au Revoir, les Enfants") signed on, and devised the understated but sophisticated shooting style, in which the distance from the camera to the actors at key moments is calculated to the millimeter, while half-seen reflections in mirrors create the illusion of a real restaurant, and the rhythm of the reaction shots subtly reflects the buried tension between the two men. How the film opened in New York, faltered, almost closed, and then gathered helpful reviews and went on to run for more than a year in that theater and--despite its challenging style--in 900 others.
Gene Siskel and I did a question-and-answer session with Gregory and Shawn after the first anniversary screening of the film's New York run. What I remember best from that night is that the two men, asked what they might do differently a second time around, said they would switch roles--"so that no one would think we were playing ourselves." Are they playing themselves? Perhaps not, but I think they're playing their own personalities. The people they seem to be on the screen are the same people they seem to be in life ("whatever that means," Andre might say).
In another sense, they are simply carriers for a thrilling drama--a film with more action than "Raiders of the Lost Ark." What "My Dinner With Andre" exploits is the well-known ability of the mind to picture a story as it is being told. Both Shawn and Gregory are born storytellers, and as they talk we see their faces, but we picture much more: Andre being buried alive, and a monk lifting himself by his fingertips, and fauns cavorting in a forest. And Wally trudging around to agents with his plays, and happily having dinner with Debbie, and, yes, enjoying Heston's autobiography. We see all of these things so vividly that "My Dinner With Andre" never, ever, becomes a static series of two shots and closeups, but seems only precariously anchored to that restaurant, and in imminent danger of hurtling itself to the top of Everest (where, Wally stubbornly argues, it is simply not necessary to go to find the truth).
What they actually say is not really the point, I think. I made a lot of notes about Andre's theories and Wally's doubts, but this is not a logical process, it is a conversation, in which the real subject is the tone, the mood, the energy. Here are two friends who have each found a way to live successfully. Each is urging the other to wake up and smell the coffee. The difference is that, in Wally's case, it's real coffee.

Chevrolet Will Sponsor 'The X FACTOR' on FOX
DETROIT, June 9, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Chevrolet will be the exclusive on-air, off-air and online automotive sponsor of "The X FACTOR," the award-winning international competition series that lets viewers help choose the next global superstar or breakout music act.
The announcement was made Thursday by Fox Broadcasting Company (FOX), Syco Television and FremantleMedia North America. The X Factor was created by Simon Cowell, who is also executive producer. The X FACTOR debuts on FOX this fall.
Chevrolet's wide-ranging sponsorship includes automotive exclusivity in multiple episodes throughout the season that will feature in-show integrations, season-long organic product placement and an off-air marketing partnership with digital extensions that will include www.fox.com/thexfactor and social media.
"When THE X FACTOR launches in the U.S., it seems very natural that Chevrolet is riding shotgun," said Rick Scheidt, vice president of Chevrolet Marketing. "For the past 100 years, Chevrolet has been a cultural force in music, and we are proud to be partnering with FOX to support the next big thing for music fans and artists."
Said Jean Rossi, president of FOX One and executive vice president of sales for Fox Broadcasting Co.: "FOX is thrilled to partner with Chevrolet, an iconic American brand that celebrates the everyday hero, in launching the most anticipated series of the fall, THE X FACTOR. We look forward to continuing our collaborative efforts with Chevrolet, which has become a key marketing partner for the network."
Chevrolet advertised and integrated product into Fox's hit show "Glee" during and following the National Football League championship in February.
"We are excited to partner with Chevrolet, one of America's oldest and most recognizable brands, as we continue to build momentum for the premiere season of THE X FACTOR in the U.S.," said Keith Hindle, CEO Americas of FremantleMedia Enterprises. "Our strategic partnership will allow Chevrolet to engage with new audiences and reach consumers through innovative programs across multiple platforms."
THE X FACTOR judges – Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul, Antonio "L.A." Reid and Nicole Scherzinger – will travel the nation searching for undiscovered talent 12 years old or over – both solo artists and vocal groups – who are willing to brave the panel for a chance to make their dreams come true.
In a departure from other singing competition series, initial contestant auditions for THE X FACTOR judges will include an audience of thousands – raising the stakes and increasing the pressure to impress not only the judges, but also a potential legion of fans. This will be the ultimate test to prove they have the vocal ability, charisma and stage presence that it takes to become a global superstar or breakout music act and win a $5 million recording contract with Syco/Sony Music.
THE X FACTOR is produced by Syco Television and FremantleMedia North America. Simon Cowell, Rob Wade and Siobhan Greene are executive producers for Syco Television. Cecile Frot-Coutaz, Richard Holloway and Andrew Llinares serve as executive producers for FremantleMedia North America.
About Chevrolet
Founded in Detroit in 1911, Chevrolet celebrates its centennial as a global automotive brand with annual sales of about 3.5 million vehicles in more than 130 countries. In the U.S., the Chevrolet portfolio includes: iconic performance cars such as Corvette and Camaro; dependable, long-lasting pickups and SUVs, such as Silverado and Suburban; and award-winning passenger cars and crossovers, such as Malibu, Equinox and Traverse. Chevrolet also offers "gas-friendly" solutions, such as Chevrolet Cruze Eco with an EPA-estimated 42 miles per gallon highway, and the Chevrolet Volt offering 35 miles of electric driving and an additional 344 miles of extended gasoline range, according to EPA estimates.

I am going along, living life, and thinking, you know, I need to write something. The more I write the better I feel. The better I feel, the more I write. The more I write, the better my writing is. The better my writing, the better I feel. Etc, etc, etc…
But then I think, well, I don't have anything interesting to say. Or I think of something quick and funny and just tweet it or Facebook it. When the truth is the more I write, the better I feel, the better I write, the better I feel… lather, rinse, repeat.
Since I last wrote, I potty trained my boy (YES REALLY!) and he celebrated his 3rd birthday. YES, REALLY!
Here he is after enjoying a snack of Nutella and apple slices. He really likes Nutella. He's really growing up… sigh…

I'm working on a full tour of what I'm trying but wanted to pass along this awesome resource.
Productive Flourishing puts together some amazing FREE resources as well as their Premium Planners!
I am using the weekly planners to decide on my priorities for the week.
The items listed aren't tasks but projects. Basically everything with more than 2 or 3 tasks needs to be a project. So "Print Perm Slip" which is Manda-writin' for "Print Permission Slip" is a whole project that involved multiple steps (Create the slip, print them, sign them, distribute them, etc).
This form also makes you think about how much you can actually get done in a day. Near the top is a little section labeled "Weekly Project Slots". Basically each day gets 5 slots and you mark them off as you create and schedule projects. When the day is full, you can't schedule anything else on that day or you'll get overwhelmed, won't finish, etc.
I'll be sharing more of what I'm trying. So be sure to check back!

A few months ago, I couldn't text, open bottles, or even reach the back of my head with a brush without a struggle. I was having a good day if the pain level was under 7. I was diagnosed with a bulging C5 - basically, I have a pain in the neck!
Through my doctors, physical therapy, the healing neck massages from my husband, and the grace of God, I now rarely have pain over a 5. I can do most of the things I did just 6 months ago.
And I am so thankful. Even on a day like today when I'm struggling with something that I used to be able to do effortlessly, I still have trouble with reaching over my head to get things off shelves. I can't fully trust the strength in that arm for that. And I have trouble with things that require super fine dexterity like pinning my hair up, making jewelry, or even inserting a tampon (TMI sorry).
I am still thankful for my healing. I'm hopeful that one day the rest of the feeling and strength will return to my hand. I will try to stay in a mood of hope and gratitude rather than mourning what I've lost.

On the Thursday before Memorial Day weekend, I was playing with my kids, when I felt a severe pain in my shoulder and neck. The pain subsided quickly and I really didn't think anything of it.
Next morning, my shoulder was sore and I felt like I had a crick in my neck. But before the holiday weekend was over, I was at the emergency room in severe pain unable to raise my arm. The pain on a scale of 1 to 10 was about a 20. I'm not a wuss. I've had two c-sections, a dry socket, chronic appendicitis and an appendectomy and a tonsillectomy with more than 50 stitches (most tonsillectomies have none to 5 stitches YOW!) so I know pain and my level 10 pain ("the worst you've ever felt" says the doctor) is quite a bit higher than other folk's level 10.
Now, I have a medical degree from Google with a fellowship from WebMD (meaning I am an expert internet researcher and not much else) so I went into the ER thinking that maybe I had a torn rotator cuff. The ER was hopping busy and I never saw a doctor but did see a physician's assistant. She took x-rays and agreed that it was likely a rotator cuff tear. I was given Vicodin and prescription strength Ibuprofen and a muscle relaxer.
What are the symptoms of a torn rotator cuff?
I was also experiencing a bit of neck pain but it was minor in comparison with the shoulder pain and I really thought nothing of it. More interesting was the fact that I had numbness and tingling in a direct line that I could trace from my shoulder to my thumb.
Within 2 days, I was trying desperately to get an appointment with my orthopedic but they were booked up for several days. I started rationing the pain pills because they only gave me 5 day supply and my appointment would be on day 5 exactly. This was not necessarily a good idea but I had no other recourse except to make it work out or go back to the emergency room for another 6 hour visit. By doctor day, I was desperate for relief.
My orthopedics' office is a large practice with several doctors who specialize in different things. MY doc is the knee and shoulder guy. I like him a lot and knew he'd be able to help.
He walks in and starts asking questions. I told him about the incredible pain and then I mentioned the tingling. That stopped him in his tracks. He said, "This isn't a shoulder problem. This is a neck problem. If I were to guess, I'm thinking maybe a rupture or bulging disc at C4 or C5." Then, he ordered X-Rays.
The x-rays revealed an impingement at the between the C4 and C5. He prescribed more Vicodin and physical therapy. If it wasn't better in 3 weeks at a re-check, he'd order an MRI.
Symptoms of a pinched nerve in your neck includes neck, shoulder, and arm pain, tingling or burning sensations, and numbness. Weakness is also possible and complaints of loss of strength and trouble with lifting the arm, bending the elbow, or holding onto objects are not unheard of.
Folks, I had every single one of these symptoms.
I started physical therapy the next day after my doctor's appointment. My PT was all about getting the muscles in my neck to relax as the therapist suspected that most of my pain was related to spasm rather than the actual impingement (the fancy term for pinched nerve). But PT days were hell for me; they would often leave me in more pain than I started in and the next day would have me a level 10 pain that would only help a little or sometimes not at all.
There were a few nights after the initial diagnosis that I actually considered going back to the emergency room because I couldn't sleep because I was in so much pain. After 5 days, I called the doctor's office again and told them that despite 3 PT appointments and the medicine that was prescribed, I was still in so much pain and didn't see any improvement.
They ordered the MRI and moved my care to the team physiatrist - a doctor who specializes in pain management. He would get the MRI results and consult with the other doctors on the team if necessary to decide what the next step in my care should be. Meanwhile, they were refilling my narcotic pain reliever and wanted me to continue PT.
I've never had an MRI. I was asked several times if I were claustrophobic and until the moment that I was stuck in that tube, I honestly thought I wasn't.
The MRI was an older one where you're laid down on a table and pushed into a tube. The tube was literally 2 inches from my nose.
The first time they pulled me out of the tube, it was to adjust some cords attached to the headphones that were put on to protect my ears.
The second time they pulled me out, it was because my arm started twitching from being in such a weird position on my back and I grabbed it and messed up the cord again.
The third time they pulled me out of the tube is because I told them that if they didn't get me out, I'd throw up in the machine.
They scheduled me for open MRI the next morning. That was much better and didn't take as long either.
Fast forward a couple weeks, the pain is actually getting better. The most relief I've gotten is from the TENS machine being used in PT. Secondly and probably more importantly is my husband giving me a massage on the nights that I don't have PT. I saw great improvement after those started.
By the time that I see the physiatrist, my daily pain level is averaging around a 6. Much better than the 10 I was experiencing days before. The physiatrist looked at the MRI report and told me that I did indeed have a pinched nerve. But now we knew it was caused by a bulging disc in my neck - the C5 disc to be exact.
His suggestion was an epidural.
The epidural was such a non-issue that it's hard for me to even discuss. I mean it was so easy and relatively painless. I can't say that it was a miracle cure but I can say that lowered my daily pain level down to about a 4 or 5. The worst part of it was when I sat up too fast and got an epidural headache. That was NOT pleasant but it went away quickly.

I haven't really talked much about what's going on with my shoulder. Mainly because it scares the crap out of me.
Turns out I don't have a torn rotator cuff, but a pinched nerve resulting from a bulging disc in my NECK!
There's something about the term "bulging disc" that scares you. Especially when it's in your neck and when you're only 43. The cause is unknown. This sort of thing can happen spontaneously or by accidents. I could have injured it that night or I could have had it for years but I was asymptomatic until now.
I did physical therapy for 3 weeks but that just seemed to make it worse. What finally helped was getting John to give me a massage a couple times a week and a TENS machine.
I had an epidural last week. I'm not sure that it made things better but it didn't make anything worse.
I'm having discomfort more than pain. A twinge here and throb there. I'm more concerned with the loss of strength and dexterity in my dominant hand right now than pain. I can't trust that hand with anything heavy or moderately weighty if I have to lift something over my head.
My neck isn't bad enough for surgery and only divine intervention will heal me permanently.

Small accident on Russian atomic submarine
July 26, 2006
MOSCOW (Reuters) – Radioactive water has spilled in a
Russian nuclear submarine, but has not escaped into the
environment, local media reported on Wednesday.
"The radioactivity level inside and outside the atomic
submarine is normal. There is no pollution risk," a navy
spokesman told Russian news agencies.
The feedwater — which is used to cool the reactor — had
been spilled when removing the reactor from the submarine in
the Arctic naval base of Vidyaevo, the news agencies said.
Any accident in an atomic submarine causes concern in
Russia, where memories are fresh of the 2000 Kursk disaster.
For several days, officials tried to hide the scale of the
sinking, which killed all 118 people on board.

Drums do not present time as simple four-to-a-bar tapping, which you can do with your foot. They clothe the elementals of tempo and meter in an elaboration of sound and pulse. At their best, they are richly colored and intensely musical, and can generate an emotional gravity to equal any other component in the performance. If in 1934, Sonny Greer and Jo Jones had traded jobs, the music of Ellington and Basie would have evolved much differently. Even when we are fixed on the soloist, seemingly oblivious to the drums, we are in their thrall, which is why bad drummers are so insidiousthey do not allow us to ignore them. Great drummers don't either, of course, except when they want us to forget they are there, at which time they become merely the walls, the floor, the ceiling, the very air we breathe.
Shortly after I left college, I experienced a drums epiphany at a place called Boomer's, where Cedar Walton and Clifford Jordan had a quartet. I was given a seat hugging the right-hand side of the stage; the drummer's left ride cymbal hung over my head. I figured I would try a number, and leave if necessary. I knew Higgins's work from recordsOrnette Coleman, Thelonious Monk, Sonny Rollins, Dexter Gordon, Lee Morgan, Jackie McLeanbut had never seen him and did not think any drummer could be inconspicuous or quiet enough to make that kind of proximity endurable. An hour later, I left in a state of elation, and the thing is: At no time was Higgins inconspicuous or quiet. He wasno other word will dobeautiful. He didn't get in the way of my hearing Cedar, soloing on the other side of the stage, yet I was always aware of the glowing sound of the cymbals and snares, the way he made them mesh in cross-rhythms, as though they were made not of metal and canvas but of something pneumatic and plush.
A few weeks after my first Voice piece appeared, in 1973, I was asked to write liner notes for a Jimmy Heath album, Love and Understanding, and was pleased to see Higgins at the date. Later, Jimmy told me about the new pieces written for the session; one was called "Smilin' Billy," composed, he explained, "for the love of the way Billy Higgins plays and for his love of music and of playing." Now this was at a time when, for many people, the title was less likely to recall an old comic strip (Smilin' Jack lost his wings that very year) than a type of behavior (smiling) considered unbecoming for an African American male. I mentioned that Louis Armstrong, two years dead, was still getting pilloried for it, but Jimmy laughed and the nickname stuck. Higgins always looked kinetic behind the traps, smiling, almost laughing, eyes sparkling, flashing his hands like a quick-change artist having the time of his life. This was true up to the end, at reunions with Coleman and at the annual two-week December gig at the Village Vanguard with Walton and McLean.
Back at the Heath date, though, I was still coming to grips with my evening at Boomer's, because I wrote, "He has developed a clean and personal sound on cymbals and snare that rivals Kenny Clarke's and is one of the few drummers of any generation who plays with the taste and restraint that allows a listener to sit right by his traps and not be deafened." Clarke was an obvious forebear, though Higgins had also studied with Ed Blackwell, an earthier player whose contrapuntal patterns influenced him, as did his melodic tuning, which in turn suggested Roy Haynes, who brought a virtuoso shine and bass drum anchor to the modernist techniques devised by Clarke. But Haynes and Blackwell are about syntax; they bring an original language to trap drums. Clarke and Higgins, for all their influence (Clarke's was decisive for a generation), make themselves known through their shimmering sound and immense poise, no matter how hard they drive.
Higgins is on one of the 1960s' key jazz hits, Lee Morgan's "The Sidewinder," and yet no one associates him with its hit-making beat, partly because he didn't latch onto it, hoping for some kind of commercial crutch. Even when you listen to the record, Higgins is easily the freest spirit of the three rhythm players, swinging the vamp without chaining himself to it. He plays alternately on and against the backbeat, always with a liquid freshness that enlivens the beat when it would have been so easy to cheapen it. Maybe that's why he is often overlooked in discussions of the great drummers of that period. When you hear Tony Williams or Elvin Jones, you feel you are in the presence of genius. With Higgins, you feel you are hearing perfection, which is neither as sexy nor as easy to talk about. In his book Different Drummers (1975), Billy Mintz transcribes and analyzes the playing of 19 percussionists, Higgins not among them. Yet the last sentence of his text, after a paragraph in which he recommends his favorite jazz and rock artists, reads: "Listen to everything with Billy Higgins playing drums because his time is so swinging that it just floats along."
The nature of his swing is panstylistic. Of course he didn't change horses to ride "The Sidewinder"this is an artist who initially became famous playing free jazz with Coleman (he recorded with Cecil Taylor in the same period), who aided Rollins in navigating the straits dividing free and not-free, buoyed Dexter Gordon to crests of invention, and in every instance sounded exactly right and exactly like himself. He could play a written part as well as anyoneMcLean's brilliantly cornered "Melody for Melonae," for example; or cross the ts on a rumble crafted especially for himMorgan's "One for Higgins," for example; or fashion cool breezesCharlie Haden's Silence, for example. His brief solo on the latter's "Conception," built on a basic march pattern, is riveting yet wittily self-effacing. But he was also a relentlessly driving accompanist, and perhaps the greatest miracle of his playing is how beautifully and calmly swinging he sounds even when he's playing to beat the band. The flip side of the Sidewinder LP offers the blues waltz "Boy, What a Night," in 12, a meter that can easily generate inflexible triplets. Higgins is loose and infectiously zealous. Joe Henderson, Morgan, and Barry Harris turn in splendid solos, as the Cheshire Cat hovers over them all.
Higgins, who was born in Los Angeles in 1936, started on the drums at five. Still in his teens, he worked with Don Cherry in the Jazz Messiahs, a band led by James Clay that was inspired by the Davis-Rollins sessions, and sat in with the area's leading beboppers (Sonny Criss, Teddy Edwards) and r&b bands (Bo Diddley, Amos Milburn). In 1956, he met Coleman, who astonished everyone, one way or another; Clay took his tenor to Ray Charles's orchestra for a quarter century, while Cherry, Higgins, and Blackwell, who had known Coleman for several years, were drawn to the altoist's ragged cry and glancing tunes. With Blackwell ensconced in an r&b band, Higgins made the Hillcrest engagement, recorded with Coleman (The Shape of Jazz to Come, Change of the Century), and took the historic leap to New York. Even those who scoffed at Ornette recognized Higgins as an extraordinary drummer after seeing him at the Five Spot or hearing him on "Ramblin'," "Una Muy Bonita," or "Focus on Sanity." But things went badly. Higgins was busted for drugs and lost his cabaret card; Blackwell, who had skipped bail with his wife after they had been imprisoned in New Orleans on a charge of interracial marriage, took his place.
Higgins would reunite often with Coleman over the next 40 years, turning in one of the most memorable performances of his life at the 1997 Coleman triptych at Lincoln Center, with Haden and Kenny Barron. But by then he had also morphed into something unexpectedthe much coveted, unofficial house drummer for Blue Note records, and one of the most recorded musicians of the era. In later years, he worked with David Murray, Charles Lloyd, Hamiet Bluiett, Harold Land, Art Pepper, and many others, in addition to countless engagements with Walton, and, last year, the most unexpected gig of all, one under his own name, dedicated to the Blue Note songbook. Pepper, before he and Higgins fell out over a bassist, called him the greatest drummer who ever lived. He wasn't really. It just seemed that way whenever you listened to him.
A memorial tribute to Billy Higgins will be held Thursday, May 17, at 10, in the Main Space at the Knitting Factory.

Papal events
This article is considered accurate for the current version of the game.
This is a list of all of the Papal State's events.
The Commissioning of the Saint Peter's Basilica
Pope Julius II started building the Basilica not very long after being elected Pope. The completion would take more than 100 years and one of most famous artist in history, Michelangelo, had a large role at times in its completion, both as an architect and as a painter.
The Foundation of Societas Jesu
In 1540 Pope Paulus III recognized the Jesuite Order, created 1534 by the Spaniard Don Iñigo López de Recalde, better know as Ignatius of Loyola. He becomes one of the most devoted counter reformists and enemy number one of the Protestant movement. Loyola having a soldier background makes its mark on the order, which is organized almost as an army. High priority was given both to educating missionaries but also counselors for European royal courts. This made the Jesuite order very powerful in the politic scene. 1773 the Jesuite order was dissolved by Pope Pius VI due to pressure from Christian countries in the age of enlightenment. 1814 the Jesuite order was reinstituted, however just as a faint shadow of the powerful order it once had been.
Reorganization of the Holy Inquisition
At the initiative of Pietro Caraffa from Naples, the Pope reorganizes the Roman inquisition according to the Spanish model. Together with the Jesuits a reign of terror is inflicted on the people. However the cruel methods are effective and lead to completely eradicating the Protestant movement in the Italian peninsula.
Giordano Bruno
Giordano Bruno was an Italian theologian that identified God with Nature. Even though he considered himself a Christian, he both defended Copernicus' view of the cosmos as well as satirized blind belief in religion. He was arrested in Venezia and was extradited to Rome, where he was put on trial.
The Cleansing of the Pontinian Marches
1779 Pope Pius VI drained the Pontinian marches to create more productive farmland instead of useless swamps.
The Counter-Reformation and the Reformation of the Catholic Faith
The Counter-reformation movement historically started in 1540 with the institution of the Societas Jesu. This marked the beginning of a few highly volatile decades in European history when the two sides of Reformed and Counter-reformed fought each other. At the same time there were forces within the Catholic Church who wanted reform to remedy the corruption and other afflictions of the church. Thus in 1545 the Council of Trent was called. The debate went on for almost 20 years with almost as much turmoil created as on the battlefields against the Protestants.
The Kingdom of God on Earth
Having united the whole of Italy under the banner of Catholicism, the Pope has seen fit to declare it 'The Kingdom of God'. Catholics from all over Europe flock to his banner, eager to live in this model nation of Christian virtue. Foreign powers can no longer control the College of Cardinals, but neither will they pay much heed to any Papal bulls or decrees.

Years ago, I heard about a short little shooter (whose name is not important) heading into the 10th grade. I went to watch him play at a basketball camp that featured nothing but top-rated players, 16 and under. Most observers thought he'd be overwhelmed by the talent.
He played well in his first game, but his team trailed by 9 with 50 seconds to go. However, he then made three consecutive 3-pointers, plus a steal, and suddenly the game was tied. We all stood slack-jawed at what had just happened. But the player acted as if he expected that ending.
Two years later, he led the nation in scoring (50 ppg) and was a McDonald's All-American. Two years after that, as a college soph, he was a starter in the NCAA title game. The kid was easy to write off, but he just kept coming, because he knew he had "it." Those of us who saw that last-minute performance knew he'd end up being a difference-maker.
I have the same feeling when I watch Oklahoma City's Russell Westbrook. It's like he knows he and his team are going to be special. And I felt like this even before Friday, when he pulled a stunt similar to the player I mentioned above.
Down 5 to the Mavs with 22 seconds left (and without Kevin Durant, who sprained his ankle in the first quarter), Westbrook managed to draw a 3-shot foul from Jason Kidd (amazing considering that Westbrook is a poor 3-point shooter). He made his first two free throws, but missed the third. Seeing his teammate Nenad Krstic grab the rebound, he ran to the corner and nailed a 3-ball. Yep, five points in five seconds.
Yes, the Thunder lost that game in OT, but they must feel good that their No. 4 pick continues to find ways to make an impact on games and carry the team. That he got a triple-double three nights later, with KD still sidelined, only furthers the point.
Meanwhile, Derrick Rose poured in 16 fourth-quarter points to rally the Bulls from 17 down in the final period to beat Houston. Rose, too, has "it," and he knows it.
The two explosive point guards are now tied for the top spot in my rankings with six weeks to go, moving slightly ahead of the pack. But don't count out some of these other guys, who are very special players as well. Let's take a peek at how some of them fared in the past week.
(Click here for my Rookie 50 rankings.)
This week's observations
Derrick Rose, Bulls
Back in the Bulls' fourth-quarter rotation, Rose ended up with very good February numbers (15.8 ppg, 6.3 apg, 49.4 percent shooting) and helped keep the Bulls in playoff contention.
He also returned to using his strength and athleticism to make plays inside, which is a very wise choice. And he's not just doing it off the dribble, either. Like Westbrook, Rose is capable of hurting defenses off of catches near the paint, where he then just turns and soars to the rim, absorbing contact with ease.
He still struggles on defense, but will learn to use his great body and strength on that end of the floor as well.

O.J. Mayo, Grizzlies
I have to think the Grizzlies will look to go more up-tempo in the future to better take advantage of Mayo's talents in transition. Mayo is built to be part of a running show, but Memphis currently plays at a fairly slow pace: in the bottom third of the NBA. He's excellent at pushing the pace himself, changing directions as he flies down the floor. And his strength and athleticism translate into his being an excellent finisher.

Russell Westbrook, Thunder
Westbrook struggled shooting the ball in February, but he shot 97 free throws in the month (his highest one-month total) and made a season-high 86.6 percent. In comparison, Mayo and Rose shot 88 free throws combined in February. Rose alone took only 67 free throws during the first two months of 2009.

Brook Lopez, Nets
Many young bigs do not have a good plan when they catch the ball in the post. Even more young bigs don't have a solid counter-move. And almost all big men, young or old, can't score if both their go-to move and their counter are well-defended.
Lopez, however, is special. When he catches the ball in the post, he attacks the middle with a good jump hook, which he can make with either hand. If his defender takes the middle away, he is adept at making a power spin as a counter move. And when his counter is cut off, he is able to set himself and then loft his baby hook.
It's a very effective phase of his offensive game that we don't see very often. But we should see it more as he matures as a player. The fact that he can do those things now is impressive.

Kevin Love, Timberwolves
It's incredible to look at Love's box-score results after a game and see 1-for-4 from the field in 29 minutes. By no means should he be Option No. 1, even with Al Jefferson out of the lineup, but four shots on very few touches is absurd.
Love is not just a threat to score inside and out, as we know from his past results; he's also a threat to draw fouls from the other team's bigs, which would give the Wolves an advantage. Love has not rebounded as well of late on the offensive end, which is on him, but his teammates and coaches need to make a better effort of getting him the ball in scoring position, if for no other reason than to better evaluate his scoring talent when Jefferson isn't on the floor.

D.J. Augustin, Bobcats
Watch how Augustin uses his attack angle on ballscreens. He does not yet value every foot of space on the floor and makes the same mistake a lot of young dribblers do: Instead of taking a sharper angle toward the rim (around the screener), he often settles for the wider arc, which leaves him farther from the rim if he's going to take the jump shot. It also forfeits the chance to blow by the help defender and get to the rim. Both options closer to the rim are typically better than pulling up for the long 2 (the equation changes slightly if he's pulling up for a 3-pointer).
It's not that he does not know this or has not been taught this; it's that many young players tend to lose concentration more than vets.

Jason Thompson, Kings
One benefit of the massive number of front-office moves in Sacramento is that JT has gotten more consistent playing time. He logged a monthly-best 29.2 mpg in February.
Only constant foul trouble limits him now. Thompson has vowed to stay silent when dealing with officials, which is a good move. His next move should be to stop fouling so much; he is one of the most frequent foulers in the NBA. The good news is that he's aggressive, tough-minded and not afraid of hitting people. And it's easier to learn how not to foul than it is learning to play with toughness.
I think Thompson is going to be one of the most improved players from this class at this time next year.

JaVale McGee, Wizards
In July, I suggested that McGee should be seeing lots of D-League time. Not because he lacks talent, but for the opposite reason, actually. He's really talented, and as of today has played 30 or more minutes just once thus far.
In July, before injuries hit the Wizards' front line, it looked like McGee would get even fewer minutes than he has ended up playing, which was 16.6 per game in February. In order to see just what they have in this young athlete, the Wiz would be wise to play him far more in March and April, including giving him extensive minutes in at least a few games. The reference points alone for McGee would be worth it. Otherwise, perhaps a few weeks of D-League action, with him getting 35-plus minutes and being the focus of the offense, would have been a wise choice.

Kyle Weaver, Thunder
Drafted as a defensive specialist, Weaver has been put in a situation to score with Kevin Durant out with an ankle injury. In the Thunder's last five games, Weaver averaged 13 ppg on 50 percent shooting from 3 and shot 22-for-42 overall from the field.
He's rangy and aggressive on defense, so adding some offensive firepower to his production might get him more opportunities to become a permanent member of the Thunder's rotation.

Greg Oden, Trail Blazers
Oden has missed Portland's past seven games with a "minor" knee problem that might end up costing him 20 percent of the Blazers' schedule.

If you are walking around Belfast tomorrow, keep your eyes peeled.
Hidden in secret locations around the city will be 100 signed copies of Glenn Patterson's new novel, The Mill For Grinding Old People Young.
One hundred free copies of the book — the eighth novel from the east Belfast author — will be tucked away in cubby-holes in the city's parks, arts centres and literary landmarks (among other locations) as part of the Arts Council's Great Literary Book Hunt.
Copies will be wrapped in bright green ribbon and marked with a 'One City One Book Belfast 2012' label.
The Mill For Grinding Old People Young is the centre-stone of the One City One Book Festival — which is currently being hosted in Northern Ireland for the first time in its 14-year history.
One City One Book Belfast 2012 — a four-week programme of events encouraging people to read the same book this month — features more than 20 talks, walking tours and film screenings, running across Belfast until May 31.
Damian Smyth, head of literature at the Arts Council, said: "There is something special about discovering a good story, and through tomorrow's hunt we hope that people will do just that.
"No matter whether you are a regular reader or not, there will always be one book, one story which at some point we've read and that has moved us."

Website: http://www.uab.edu/medicine/dopm/affiliated-centers/shared-facilities/bbsf
Our mission is to provide outstanding biostatistics and bioinformatics leadership and support for the UAB Comprehensive Cancer Center (CCC) and act as the hub that facilitates the interaction between the various CCC investigators and the CCC shared facilities. This includes participation in project development and management meetings with cancer center program leaders and other shared facility directors, in addition to providing assistance and direction in experimental design, data systems, quality control and statistical data analysis through consultation and collaboration.
Facility Description
The Biostatistics and Bioinformatics Shared Facility (BBSF) joined forces with the Division of Preventive Medicine (DOPM) in August 2008. As a result, we now have full access to the DOPM research infrastructure and the faculty is now a part of DOPM's methodology section, which includes 13 doctoral-level biostatisticians and epidemiologists. With these expanded resources available to us we are able to create teams, scaled to the size of the projects, to provide broader input and backup. The number of funded faculty statisticians on any project will vary with the size of the project; however, the faculty team assembled to develop the statistical plan will consist of up to 5 members, which would usually include a mixture of junior and senior faculty statisticians and a faculty bioinformatician if required by the project.
Research Information
Data, Information, Statistics Core (DISC). DISC is a central component of the Division's research infrastructure. It includes a team of faculty biostatisticians, Information Systems (IS), Data Management (DM) and Statistical Computing (SC) Units, all with a focus on data security and quality assurance.
Data Operations (DO). The function of this unit is to receive data from investigators and field sites, perform data entry as needed, edit data and resolve any problems and create datasets that can be readily extracted for statistical analyses. All work is done in accordance with HIPAA, NIH security guidelines and FDA requirements as appropriate.
Information Systems (IS). The IS Unit provides database systems and other application programming support for the BBSF and DOPM. This group includes 6 staff members who develop and maintain several complex database systems and resolve ongoing operational issues for existing systems.
Statistical Computing (SC). The SC unit includes 6 master's level statisticians that provide statistical computing support for the BBSF and DOPM. These staff work closely with and provide support for the faculty biostatisticians.
Information Technology (IT). In addition to DISC, there is a good infrastructure for IT. The IT Unit provides network operations and helpdesk support for BBSF and DOPM. The staff of IT builds, deploys and manages applications written in Microsoft Visual Studio .NET using Microsoft Team Foundation Server and assist with design, testing, deployment and maintenance for a complete programming life cycle. The team is also responsible for storage, archiving, security and retrieval of all study-related data.
