Tom Willett
Tom Willett is a musician, author, speaker and entertainment industry executive. He toured and recorded extensively as a bass player during the '60s and '70s, served as booking agent and manager for numerous artists in the '80s, and worked as an Artist & Repertoire and Marketing executive in the '90s. In the '00s he co-founded a fully-accredited music school for college-aged musicians and entrepreneurs.
Touring and Recording Bands
Born in Portsmouth, VA, Willett moved with his family to the Washington, DC suburbs in the mid-1960s. While attending Thomas Jefferson High School in Fairfax County, VA, he played bass with DC-area Garage Rockers the Keggs, the Uncalled Four, and the Nightcrawlers, which also featured Gerry Beckley, later of the best-selling British ex-pat band, America.
While completing coursework for a B.A. in Psychology at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, NC, Willett toured with Brit Rock-Psychedelic outfit Orange, featuring Danny Brubeck, son of legendary Jazz pianist Dave Brubeck, on drums.
After graduation in 1972, Willett recorded and toured with the Sons of Thunder, founded by Blaine Smith in 1968 and the first U.S. Rock act to record a contemporary Gospel album for a major label (Till the Whole World Knows, Zondervan). He also played bass for D.C. Folk-Rocker Scott Wesley Brown.
Early Not-for-Profit Work
While pursuing post-graduate studies in the mid-1970s at a commune in the Maryland suburbs, Willett helped launch both the Cornerstone Study Center (Jim and Lorraine Hiskey) and the C. S. Lewis Institute (James Houston, John R.W. Stott, J. I. Packer). He and Santa Rosa, CA-native Julie Atterbury where married in 1978.
Booking and Artist Management
Willett returned to the music industry in 1979 when he launched the Chanan Agency to handle booking and management for DC-area talent including musician/author Brian McLaren and college-circuit favorites, Jim and Kim Thomas (the Carpenter's Tools, SaySo).
In 1980, Willett joined Dharma Artist Agency in Nashville, TN where he served as booking agent for a number of leading artists, including Leon Patillo (Santana), Maria Muldaur, and Richie Furay (Buffalo Springfield, Poco). He later formed Tom Willett Artist Management to provide career direction for John Fischer (Word/A&M), Scott Wesley Brown (Sparrow/EMI), and Marty McCall (MCA Songbird).
Artist & Repertoire Work in Los Angeles
In 1984, Willett was asked to become Executive Director of Artists and Repertoire in Los Angeles for ABC's Word Records, the world's largest distributor of inspirational music and books. Responsible for signing new artists and overseeing production, Willett managed the creation of more than 50 award-winning CDs and videos, including Grammy™ and Dove™ Award winning records by Sam Phillips, The Choir, Dion DiMucci, Philip Bailey (Earth, Wind & Fire), Randy Stonehill and Bryan Duncan.
While in L.A., Willett founded What? Records, a boutique label marketed and distributed by A&M Records. Working with T Bone Burnett, David Miner, John Carter and Lynn Nichols, What? released four critically-acclaimed albums: IDeoLa's Tribal Opera, Tonio K.'s Romeo Unchained and Notes from the Lost Civilization, and Dave Perkins' The Innocence.
Willett's A&R work saw him in the studio with such notables as T Bone Burnett, Phil Ramone, Charlie Peacock, Booker T. Jones, Little Richard, Tchad Blake, Bill Schnee and Doug Sax.
Marketing, Product Management and Career Development
In 1990, Willett and Epic Record's Roger Klein brokered a new marketing and distribution relationship for Word with Epic Records and Sony Music Entertainment. After relocating to New York, he, along with Dan Beck (Michael Jackson, Pearl Jam, Indigo Girls, Sade), coordinated the release and marketing of over 300 albums that generated more than $50,000,000.00 in revenues. While serving as Vice President of Marketing for Word/Epic, Willett and his team spear-headed international marketing campaigns for such artists as Al Green, Deniece Williams, Shirley Caesar, Phil Keaggy, Soul Mission, Sandi Patty, Petra, and Point of Grace. Through their efforts, Word/Epic artists found expanded audiences, while leading mainstream personalities such as Bruce Cockburn, Wynton Marsalis and Garrison Keillor crossed back over into the Gospel marketplace.
In 1995 Willett moved to Virginia, and later, Florida, to pursue writing and independent marketing. He published more than 50 articles in music and arts journals while helping manage the literary estate of Dr. Richard C. Halverson, former Chaplain of the U.S. Senate. With Beck, he formed ADi, a property development and marketing organization focused on creating unique entertainment, character and lifestyle properties. In conjunction with Peacock Papers, ADi's products found distribution in Hallmark and other leading card and gift shops. Their recording and touring project, The American Soul and Rock & Roll Choir, went on to tour performing arts centers throughout the U.S. Willett and Beck later co-managed Hip-Hop duo, Scratch Track, and artist/writer/filmmaker, Will Gray.
During this period, Willett also founded Creative Development Network, providing career support to Artist/Producer T Bone Burnett (Counting Crows, Wallflowers), recording artist Sam Phillips (Virgin, Nonesuch), and Internet sensation, Boondogs, the first band signed to a major recording contract based solely on consumer voting during the first wave of downloadable .mp3s.
Music Industry Educator and Mentor
In 2000, Willett was asked to spearhead a feasibility study for the creation of a fully-accredited, 4-month long off-campus study experience for college students interested in careers in the music industry. In conjunction with CCCU's Dr. Richard Gathro and a committee of college presidents, deans and music department chairs, he created a business plan and curriculum that offered developing artists classes and hands-on experience in songwriting, recording and performance, while training young entrepreneurs in artist management, booking, publishing, record company operations and marketing. Established on the Island of Martha's Vineyard in Massachusetts in the Fall of 2001, Willett and the faculty and staff of the Contemporary Music Center have helped launch the careers of more than 600 students from nearly 100 colleges and universities.
Willett's work has been cited in Rolling Stone, Billboard, Musician, the L.A. Times, Entertainment Weekly, CMJ and the Hollywood Reporter, while his articles encouraging excellence in music making and marketing have appeared in Image, The Wittenburg Door, CCM, Release, The Other Side and Prism.

Detailed Description of Clinical Trials Database
The Premarket Approval (PMA) Clinical Trials Database is designed to improve access to information in PMA Summaries of Safety and Effectiveness data (SSEDs). When complete, the database will include the following information:
- Marketing history of the device
- Study design
- Select demographics of study participants
- Study follow-up
- Study results
Premarket approval by FDA is the required process of scientific review to ensure the safety and effectiveness of all devices classified as Class III devices. An approved Premarket Approval Application (PMA) is, in effect, a private license granted to the applicant for marketing a particular medical device. For additional information, please see Premarket Approval (PMA) on FDA's Web site.
After FDA approves a PMA, it provides a summary of the safety and effectiveness data (SSED) upon which the approval is based. These are posted for each product on the Recently Approved Devices Web page. Information about approved PMAs may also be obtained from FDA's PMA Database, which is updated on a monthly basis.
The SSED contains information about the clinical studies and trials conducted in support of PMA approval. The information within the SSED follows a general template so that one can look to specific sections of the SSED for select information of interest. Nevertheless, because of the diversity of the medical device program, not all SSEDs will contain that exact same information or presentation of information. The information contained within SSEDs is provided in the form of a pdf document, which is not suitable for electronic data analysis.
The purpose of the PMA Clinical Trials Database is to create a standardized dataset of information abstracted from SSEDs about the clinical studies and trials conducted in support of PMA approval. FDA is creating this database to make the existing information in the SSEDs more accessible to patients, healthcare providers, researchers, and manufacturers. This process is part of FDA's commitment to increase transparency so that the public can gain more knowledge about the many initiatives in which FDA is engaged to protect and promote public health.
For the sample database, FDA abstracted information regarding the marketing history, source of clinical data, study design, demographics of study participants, and approval process from the PMA SSEDs. The data dictionary describes the data variables and their definitions. The sample database currently available includes information from 3 original PMAs for therapeutic devices approved from 2008-2009.
- The information in the PMA Clinical Trials database was abstracted from the SSED and does not necessarily reflect all the information available to FDA in the PMA application.
- The database identifies a number of select fields of interest to permit an individual to review this information for a range of PMAs. However, the database is not designed to provide a comprehensive presentation of the information from the SSED. As a result, for the full context of the clinical trials used to support a PMA of interest, it is recommended that the original SSED document be consulted: http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfPMA/pma.cfm

Assistant Attorney General Loretta Simon, representing the APA, had also argued that the farm was ineligible for an award because its owners had the ability to pay the legal fees themselves. Meyer, however, called that assertion "irrelevant" because the applicable law makes no mention of the prevailing party's financial well-being.
Meyer denied awarding the full amount sought by Lewis Family Farm, and ordered a Feb. 26 hearing to determine which of its expenses are eligible for reimbursement. The state has challenged more than $87,000 of the $208,000 requested.
"We're pleased with the decision," said Lewis, "It's been a long time coming, but it's just another step in the phase of this thing."
Lewis called Meyer's decision "very strong and exceedingly well-written," but noted how the state will have the opportunity to appeal both the Feb. 3 decision and whatever determination is made regarding the amount of the award.
John. J. Privitera, council for Lewis Family Farm, called the decision "a victory for the Lewis Farm, farmers in the Champlain Valley and all small businesses in New York."
"It's good for the community because it sends a clear message," Lewis added.

Got a "Twilight" fan at home? Then you'll want to read this. Vampire fever took over Comic Con in San Diego yesterday — that's vampire as in Edward, dreamy hero of Stephenie Meyer's bestselling YA novels, not Dracula. And the chance to see footage from the new movie, "Twilight," which opens Dec. 12, had hundreds of teens camped overnight on the sidewalk. Thousands filled the comic convention's largest exhibit hall, and screams erupted when the young stars of the flick were introduced. They're familiar faces, too. Edward will be played by Robert Pattinson, who you may remember as hunky heartthrob and all-around good guy Cedric Diggory in "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix." Bella is Kristen Stewart ("Jumper" and "Zathura"). Want a sneak peek of your own? Summit Entertainment has trailers posted here.
Are you counting down the days till the film debuts? Click comments and tell us what makes "Twilight" so very compelling?

This was delicious! My oven was full, so I just cooked it on the stove, by covering and simmering for 20-25 mins. I will make this again!
This was one of the easiest and best recipes I've tried. It came out with a nice, slightly caramelized flavor and wasn't sticky. A definite time saver when you don't want a complicated pilaf.
This recipe looks identical to a Craig Claiborne recipe my family has relied on for years. It reliably makes a moist and flavorful pilaf. You can brown some chicken tenders and lay them on top h...

Krul made a season-high 14 saves to deny us at the Lane with top-drawer saves from Roberto Soldado, Paulinho, Gylfi Sigurdsson and Younes Kaboul.
When he was beaten, Jan Vertonghen's header came back off the crossbar as we racked up 31 attempts at goal.
However, Loic Remy struck the only goal of the game in the first half as Newcastle ran out 1-0 winners.
"Krul was outstanding," said Brad, who made his 50th Premier League appearance for us on Sunday. "In the second half it was chance after chance after chance.
"You see the quality in training on a daily basis, there is no lack of confidence and it will come good because we have so many quality players."

NASA Study Shows Disks Don't Need Planets to Make Patterns
Many young stars known to host planets also possess disks containing dust and icy grains, particles produced by collisions among asteroids and comets also orbiting the star. These debris disks often show sharply defined rings or spiral patterns, features that could signal the presence of orbiting planets. Astronomers study the disk features as a way to better understand the physical properties of known planets and possibly uncover new ones.
But a new study by NASA scientists sounds a cautionary note in interpreting rings and spiral arms as signposts for new planets. Thanks to interactions between gas and dust, a debris disk may, under the right conditions, produce narrow rings on its own, no planets needed.
Watch the changing dust density and the growth of structure in this simulated debris disk, which extends about 100 times farther from its star than Earth's orbit around the sun. At left, the disk is seen from a 24-degree angle; at right, it's face-on. Lighter colors show higher dust density.Image Credit:NASA Goddard/W. Lyra (JPL-Caltech), M. Kuchner (Goddard)

Our Vyasanakere Iron Ore Mine, an open cast iron ore mine, is located in the Bellary-Hospet region of Karnataka State and is one of the largest Iron Ore mines in the private sector in this region. The mine is located within a 347.22 hectare area and is located about 2.5 Km from the National Highway No.13. By road the mine is approx. 23 Km south of Hospet and 413 Km east of the seaport of Goa.
The Vyasanakere railway station is only 3 Km from the mine and is accessible by a dedicated road that runs between the mine and the railway sidings, providing direct rail access to several regional and major cities and ports. By rail the Station is around 12 Km south of Hospet and 573 Km west of the seaport of Chennai.
VIOM is one of the largest Iron Ore mine in the private sector in the Bellary-Hospet region of Karnataka State. Float ore mining activity for Iron Ore began here during 1962. Mechanization began in 1977 with the introduction of excavators and payloaders. Presently, the mine is mechanized to handle approximately seven million metric tons of ore and waste per annum.
According to the Behre Dolbear review of our iron resources and reserves, the Vyasanakere mine is estimated to have 20.83 million tonnes of proven Iron Ore reserves at an average grade of 65.0% Fe, and 8.53 million tonnes of probable Iron Ore reserves at an average grade of 64.5% Fe, for a total of 29.36 million tonnes of reserves at an overall average grade of 64.8% Fe.
VIOM is a fully mechanized, open-cast mine with a downhill conveyor system that transports Iron Ore from the mine directly to our on-site processing facilities, which include two primary processing plants with throughputs of 350 and 150 metric tons per hour, respectively, and a reprocessing plant with a throughput of 200 metric tons per hour. To get additional railway rakes allotment, some of the ore mined at VIOM is transported 26 kilometres by road to Ingiligi village, for further processing at the MSPL Export's processing plant, which, will be acquired by us as part of our acquisition of MSPL Exports effective April 1, 2006.
MSPL Exports now called as MSPL EOU-II. Another 100% EOU is established at Vyasanakere Iron Ore Mine for crushing and screening.
In the primary processing plants the ore is initially crushed and screened into three categories of material:
Oversize ore is sent to our secondary crusher, where it is further crushed into fines and calibrated lump ore. This calibrated lump ore is sent to the reprocessing plant, where excess fines are removed. These fines are further wet screened and classified into:

The following is an archive of a post made to our
'vox-tech mailing list'
by one of its subscribers.
I purchased not long ago a new machine to function as
a mythtivo and finished assembling it this weekend,
sadly when I dropped in the three bt878a capture cards
the unit just decides to spit out a greenscreen/static
across the bus. If I rip out any 2 of the cards
leaving just one it works fine.
All three Cards are identical, and to note if I change
the tuner=x setting when insmoding/modprobing it will
sometimes show partial channels, such as one that
looks like its off frequency, badly interlaced and out
of sync, pal mode gives me a similer output but on a
different channel.
Card is a bt878a with a Phillips FM1236 tuner.
Also one other thing to note is while running on one
card only it spits out these messages periodically
bttv0: timeout: drop=64 irq=97874/97876,
risc=1490e07c, bits: HSYNC OFLOW FDSR
bttv0: reset, reinitialize
Any help would be appreciated greatly

NXT jousting: a version of the lance with 15 holed head
As requested, here's a version of the lance with a 15 holed head and more stable connectors for comparison.
Personally, I think the 13 holed head version below more well-balanced - but that's just my subjective opinion.
3 comments:
Is the 7m beam only in white, as opposed to the 5m beam being dark grey? I think the contrasting colors have a 'slimming' effect on the visuals, but overall they look very similar.
I can't tell which part of the 7m has 4 and which part has 3, but I'd put the 4 towards the 'handgrip' and the 3 towards the business end.
Also ('cause now I wanna build one of these with parts I have around already), can you get do a closeup/reverse angle of the handgrip? I can't make out the medium grey pieces. :)
What would interest me most is what is the 'balance point' of both designs, which is why I'm going to have to build them tonight. :)

I like your original version... it doesn't look so 'bulky' in the middle and the contrast of colors looked nicer... I know aesthetics might have to be ignored elsewhere, but with the lance, I think the earlier one looks better... IMO.
How about next we design some versions of riders, Matthias? And let's limit it to the NXT retail kit parts, no extras. I'll try and have a few ideas with images up before tomorrow.

- Matthias Paul Scholz said...
I've uploaded a view from behind (Dear me, now we encounter some of the advantages of having an abstract (LDraw) model, don't we? A little L-MDD (LEGO Model Driven Development), in a manner of speaking).
The balance point for the original version is located rather exactly in the center of the lance's hand guard; for the longer version, it's shifted to its front border.

Verb Ballets' Winter Series to Feature Work of Chung-Fu Chang, 2/23
Verb Ballets returns to the Breen Center for the Performing Arts on Saturday, February 23, 2013, at 8pm to experience an evening of work by Chung-Fu Chang.
Chang was born in Taiwan and discovered his passion for dance at age 17. He went on to perform with Cloudgate Dance Theatre and Kaohsiung Contemporary Dance Company. His works have been performed nationally and internationally. Chang's evening of work explores the evolution of his personal identity influenced by his participation in contemporary societies, both Asian and Western.
"Last year I was impressed by the visually stunning, The Lily. I enjoyed how he utilized the stage as an artist would to paint canvas. His return to Verb offers the opportunity to present a collection of work to showcase his unique style and range," said Director, Dr. Margaret Carlson.
Chang returns this season to set a new full company work inspired by the wind. Exploring the idea of wind movement Chang will borrow its breeze with movement, dynamics, path, speed, shape, and ultimately the wind's emotion. This distinctive fusion of East and West will show the power of the wind and its gentle hidden potential.
The Lily, a visually stunning work created especially for Verb Ballets last year, will be revived. This full company work depicts a love story based on an ancient Taiwanese tale of passion and destiny. Donald Rosenberg of The Plain Dealer described the piece as, "the movement style is fluid and ritualistic, rooted in ballet but shaded by Asian colorations."
In addition Chang will perform on the program in a new solo, called Pheasant's Writing. The solo is inspired from one of the poems of the Shijing, the Classic of Poetry, a collection of songs and poems from the Zhou Dynasty (10th-7th century BC) of ancient China. These rhyming works have been passed down through generations. "The oral cultures are capable of immense sophistication and tend to become visible only when they come into contact with the literate genres that are destined to replace them," said Chang about his inspiration from the Classic of Poetry. Pheasant's Writing is a work about secrets, identity, and finding one's own language.
Also on the program is the world premiere of Richard Dickinson's ballet about loss and longing, set to Richard Strauss' haunting Four Last Songs. This piece will interpret the haunting melodies of Strauss' last work and the writings of the poets, Hermann Hesse and Joseph von Eichendorff. The hope in Spring, the fading light of September, the darkness of losing someone in a Time to Sleep; and the mourning of letting a loved one go, At Dust, Dickinson's work explores the story lines in the beauty and gracefulness of the four songs.
Immediately following the performance will be a wine and dessert reception at the new West side art gallery, Transformer Station, located at 1460 West 29th Street Cleveland, OH 44113. The Transformer Station is a project of Fred and Laura Ruth Bidwell Foundation that is designed to bring original contemporary art exhibitions, events and programming from around the world to the west side of Cleveland. Be one of the first to experience the collection of contemporary photography and photo-based art. Mingle with the dancers and talk with choreographer, Chung-Fu Chang, at the renovated transit substation. Tickets to the reception are $15 and require a reservation by calling 216.397.3757.
This show gives the audience a chance to see an emerging choreographer and discover a new side of Verb Ballets. Single tickets ($28-$10) are available by calling the Verb Ballets office at 216-397-3757 or online at verbballets.org. The Breen Center for the Performing Arts is located at 2008 W. 30th St. Cleveland, OH. For more information visit www.verbballets.org.

Honey in your dough?
My brother went to Culinary Institute Of America in New York so I know hoe prestigious it is and how well regarded it is as a school. But when I saw this chef from there add honey to his pizza dough mix I began to rethink my admiration of this school...
Anyone use honey in their dough recipe?
part 1
YouTube - Italy: Pizza Margherita Part 1
in part to he shapes the pizza and states that "you want to pus all the gas out" of the dough???? isn't that opposite of what we want?
part 2
Re: Honey in your dough?
He's using regular active yeast and that is often fed sugar to get it going faster so he used honey. Not really a big deal for most of the sugar will be eaten by the yeast and it helps the dough rise fast. (He is clearly not into SLOW DOUGH!). Honey is IMO preferable to sugar for it at least adds more flavor. Not classic and NOT VPN but...it's not a giant sin IMO.
His dough was painfully low hydration by most of our standards based on the hard ball it made though it seemed to soften up fairly well.
With respect to push the gas out I didn't hear him say ALL. And he didn't. His fingertip technique was well demonstrated and leaves the dough about right IMO. His stretching after that was mediocre.
If you are concerned about "pushing all the gas out" try rolling out a pizza with a rolling pin. The cornicione will still puff if the dough is not badly overproofed for the alcohols and CO2 in the dough will come out of the dough and vaporize to puff the dough.
My take is that that is his preferred "quick" approach to making pizza. And what he gets is probably better than most but not to my (or most of our) WFO standards.
He probably shouldn't have demoed Pizza Margherita since it is the gold standard!
Re: Honey in your dough?
Im not sure if i would like honey in my dough for normal pizzas, but for sweet or desert pizzas I think it would be fantastic. For normal pizzas, I use the dough recipe on this site, but I always add Italian Mixed Herbs to the dough before I start to mix everything together. We think this gives the base a really nice taste and look. You get the oragano, basil and the other herbs coming through the whole pizza and another plus is the herbs dont burn!!
Re: Honey in your dough?
I doubt that the pizza recipe shown leaves much sweetness in the dough because he only added a little honey (about 1 T.) and a LOT of yeast. At low yeast levels you are requiring enzymes to break down the starch to make sugar for the yeast to feed on (and the byproducts add flavor). That takes time. At high levels (like he added) there would be a sugar shortage. The honey/sugar simply accelerates activating the yeast and the rising process. It's not for me - I prefer slow, retarded straight dough (no sugar, or oil) but I see nothing disturbing. Lots of breads and bread recipes using dried yeast use a bit of sugar to get the yeast going. It's just a way to make the dough faster and less flavorful.
Re: Honey in your dough?
We used a Honey Whole Wheat dough recipe the other night and it was very good. Not a lot of mixing and kneeding and I do remember you had to punch it after it rose. Turned out very good but not sweet. I'll try to find the recipe and post it. I've got some pics of the pies on my album somewhere.
Re: Honey in your dough?
I have a friend who worked in an Italian restaurant that used STRAWBERRY JAM in it's dough. They claimed the sugar was there to feed the yeast. Ok in principle, but come on, STRAWBERRY-FREAKING-JAM?!!!!! Yuck

Watch Manchester United vs Norwich City EPL Live Stream Online HD Quality
Man Utd vs Norwich Live Stream. Manchester United will aim to tighten their grip on the 2012-13 Premier League title when they face Norwich at Old Trafford on Saturday.The Red Devils are a runaway freight train at the top of the table and, with a 12-point lead 11 matches out from the end of the season, are in an almost indomitable position in their pursuit of a record 20th league crown.
Watch Man Utd vs Norwich Live. Sir Alex Ferguson's men have been a force of nature, having not lost a match in nearly three months when Romanian outfit CFR Cluj stunned them 1-0 at Old Trafford on December 5 in the Champions League.
Man Utd vs Norwich Live. Their last defeat in the Premier League came on November 17 - coincidentally against their next opponents Norwich at Carrow Road.Norwich have been in reasonable touch of late and are undefeated in their past four Premier League outings.
Watch Man Utd vs Norwich Live. They are fresh from a fantastic 2-1 win over sixth-placed Everton and before that registered draws against Tottenham and Fulham but would have been disappointed with their 0-0 stalemate against bottom-of-the-table Queens Park Rangers at the start of the month.But like for most teams, United's fortress Old Trafford has proved to be a rough place to pick up points from for Norwich.
Man Utd vs Norwich Live Stream. The Canaries last got a result there in December 1993 when they held the Red Devils to a 2-2 draw and their last win at Old Trafford came more than four years earlier in the form of a 2-0 win in August 1989.
Watch Man Utd vs Norwich Live. Norwich's task will be made a bit easier by the fact that star United striker Robin van Persie will miss the clash due to a hip injury sustained after he collided with a camera last weekend. There are also suggestions that, given United's huge lead in the league, Ferguson could be tempted to rest the vast majority of his best 11 in preparation for their vital second-leg round-of-16 Champions League fixture with Spanish giants Real Madrid.
Man Utd vs Norwich Live. If that were to happen, the Canaries would receive a huge leg-up and might even fancy their chances of snatching a rare win at the 19-time champions' home and complete an unlikely double against them this season.

continued The fire district, pending a vote by all commissioners, plans to present the town board with a supporting statement to participate in the project.
After the plans receive feedback from both the fire district and the town board to ensure they address the needs of both municipalities, the plans can be finalized to prepare for Request for Proposals to be sent out.
"We won't have a cost to put out until we get the RFP's back," Sherman said.
During the Nov. 13 town board meeting, Supervisor Dan Connell said the concerns he had for the new space was the lack of a cost estimate.
The group has used material collected by AES, a consulting firm hired by the town that collected information from the fire department, DPW, town and Westport Central School.
"AES interviewed the different entities to find out what they needed in the building and collected data about the site," Gibbs said.
At the time the town was looking to see if one building could meet the needs of a new town hall, fire department, DPW building and include space for the school to conduct bus repairs. The plans were not approved by the voters in July 2011.
The board members hope the combined project will be a cost effective alternative to two new buildings and the mounting costs the town is paying in fines towards building code violations in both buildings. Connell said if the town doesn't decide to go forward then it will to continue to pay fines for the buildings code violations.
After the committee meets on Dec. 10, they can begin talking about estimates. Sherman said in the 2013-2014 town budget there are funds allocated to the construction of this project. The next step in the process is to have the town and the fire district say they want this building.
Residents can view some of the designs the blue prints that are available for the public at the town hall.

On March 12, nearly 900 students, faculty, staff and other guests heard award-winning journalist and author Bob Woodward warn that a government shrouded in secrecy has the potential to undo democracy. Woodward's lecture took place in the Francis E. Geissler Gymnasium, and concluded Eastern's 2012-13 Arts and Lecture Series' 12th season.
"We overlook reality if the truth comes from people we don't like," said Woodward, who along with Carl Bernstein won the Pulitzer Prize in 1973 for their book, "All the President's Men." The book helped expose the Watergate scandal and the subsequent resignation of President Richard Nixon in 1974.
Woodward, who CBS News anchor Bob Schieffer of CBS News called "the best reporter of our time; maybe the best reporter of all time," reflected back on the Nixon era. "Nixon had microphones everywhere in the Oval Office. The tapes were chilling. Here you had a man who was using the President's Office as a method of personal revenge. His attitude was 'let's screw somebody or remove somebody who was not a supporter. Break into that office! Crack that safe!' All this from a man who called himself the 'law and order' president."
Woodward, who has worked for The Washington Post since 1971, said, "The truth is being drowned out. Unnecessary secrecy by our government, not knowing what's going on, is bad for the country. Business is done in darkness is frightening. Democracies die in darkness. We'll lose our democracy if it's not stopped."
Woodward's most recent book, "The Price of Politics" is an examination of how President Obama and Republican and Democratic leaders in Congress tried to restore the American economy and improve the federal government's fiscal condition. Woodward noted that President Obama says the current sequestration, which will result in an automatic $1.2 trillion dollar cuts, was not his idea, even though evidence shows otherwise.
"Washington, DC is dysfunctional today. It's astonishing that Congressman Paul Ryan, chair of the House Budget Committee, has never even met Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. No wonder there is no communication, and we are having a breakdown in government of untold magnitude," Woodward said.
Woodward said journalists must answer their calling and have the courage to hold people accountable. He said journalists face many challenges. "What's going on in the world -- North Korea, Egypt, North Africa, and Pakistan with 200 nuclear weapons -- is truly dangerous."

More Mythistory
Several times this semester, students have brought to me myths about history. "You know where the word 'picnic' comes from don't you?" they will ask; or "When are you going to talk about the Willie Lynch letter?" Sometimes, the question will be followed by a lengthy and impassioned explanation that "picnic" came from the days when white people sat around eating lunches outside and would "pick a n-----" to hang for entertainment, or a detailed explanation of how this master made a long speech about how to control the slaves by dividing and conquering.
The damn quilt story has shown up once or twice too, including during a tour of a museum where one of my classes is doing a service learning project. The museum actually has a quilt, made and donated by a local club, depicting the "map of the Underground Railroad in code," just as described in that damn book. The guide, who was also going to be teaching our students how to do research in their library and archive, went into great detail about how the slaves used these sorts of quilts to escape on the Underground Railroad. "Some people disagree with this," she admitted, then handed out a sheet -- the only handout in the whole museum -- that explained each symbol.
I usually have no trouble busting myths in my class. Some of my lectures actually use myth-busting as a hook. After all, the First Thanksgiving -- especially at this time of year -- provides ripe ground both for learning the realities of contact and for talking about how and why history gets simplified into happy little lies. My American students love the technique, and my foreign students like learning a little more about American popular culture as they also learn about history.*
Pilgrims, Betsy Ross, and the historical oeuvre from Disney and Mel Gibson are all easy myths to engage in class both for their inaccuracies and because they are white history. My students are generally prepared with healthy doses of skepticism in this regard. So shattering myths of white people plays well with them, and I present no threat to them as a white person doing the shattering.
"Picnicking," Willie Lynch, and the damn quilts are all black history myths. A white person shattering -- or merely questioning those myths -- doesn't play so well, and partly because of that skepticism.
Take for instance my most recent encounter with picnic. Now, when I first heard this story about two years ago, my reaction was "nawww, that can't be true." White people have committed some cruel and unusual punishments on the black body, but the connection between lynching and the word picnic just didn't seem to be one of them. Sure enough, the OED dated the word back to 1748. The original word meant "a fashionable social event at which each guest contributed a share of the food ."
When my student recently brought this up, I said, "actually, I looked that up in the dictionary..." The student interrupted me and said, "it IS true. I talked to people who lived back in that time and they told me that they remembered it." How does a white teacher constructively respond to that without seeming like they are trying to absolve white people of race crimes, and without seeming like they are calling the elderly acquaintances of the student liars.
The same with the Willie Lynch speech. I had actually never heard of it until last year, when a student told me about it. So, I looked it up. There is no documentation of this speech, just like there is no documentation of that use of picnic. Both started as one of those forwarded e-mails that people send on and on and on without actually questioning the contents. Yet, both and the quilts story, keep getting repeated as truth.
How does a white teacher confront these myths without becoming, in the eyes of her very suspicious students, one of "them," one of the white myth makers? The answer probably lies somewhere in the ways that I cover the rigors of historical evidence and research. Even then, I encounter this deep skepticism of documentation, a skepticism that I helped to foster when discussing the problems of researching African American history in documents.
Some of these students now meet the fact of limited documentation with theories about destruction or suppression of documents. While that is not entirely untrue, they haven't quite made it to the level of what I call "researching around the holes" -- of finding other ways of getting at the realities of African American life in the absence of direct documentation of African American lives. Instead, they jump to "it could have been" as a reasonable historical argument in the face of an absence of evidence.
They didn't learn that technique in my class, but they have learned it from a million different popular sources, many in respected places such as museums, and my refutation of that argument as legitimate for history again places me into the "them" category.
Again, I haven't fully figured out how to confront this, particularly from the confines of a white body and therefore part of the system that has put these students on the defensive. I am trying to work my way around these confines to connect with them somewhere firmly in their experience. I think the solution includes more and more primary documentation in my lectures, and more and more examples of the ways that historians have constructed historical arguments about African American history. I have to validate their suspicions while also giving them the materials to use that suspicion to find documented answers rather than myths that "could be true."
A myth buster must be fearless in deconstructing cherished stories, but a teacher must reach her students by first not alienating them.
*Seriously, I fielded about a dozen questions about the origins of Santa Claus and his red suit last Thursday, which I mixed in with answers about the history of Christmas celebrations, which I then connected to abolition. We didn't finish the lecture material for the day, but we all enjoyed the hell out of the class.

At least you didn't get some moron telling you that the Masons have death squads killing the enemies of America like I did last week.
By the way, that might be a way to address your problem. Bring out a ridiculous myth that they wouldn't believe and compare it to the one that they do. The stories about Barach Obama come to mind, like he wasn't born in America, is a Muslim, doesn't salute the flag, etc. They're spread the same way as the picnic story, through chain e-mails and the like, and the same could of happened logic applies.
I once assigned a class to prove whether or not the Holocaust occurred. I figured it would be a way to get them to look at evidence rather than just treating stories as equals uncritically (the Holocaust deniers make the same crappy arguments as your picnic guy). Most of my class couldn't figure out how to do that. It was depressing.
How'd they take it when you told them Santa got the red suit because of a Coca Cola ad?

Myths distract from the real stories, which are valuable and important. yet, i can see your dilemma...how not to alienate?

There is a recently-published, beautifully illustrated children's book called _Show Way_ that perpetuates the quilt myth. It's very disappointing, because it's a beautiful book about the connections between mothers and daughters and women's agency under slavery and Jim Crow.
As for your mythstory problem--why not bring in some real documents from the colonial era to myth-bust Willie Lynch? The Barbados slave code is just as disturbing, and might be a good comparison so that students can see for themselves the anachronisms in the bogus document, but see their suspicions illustrated in the authentic document. There are enough awful events and stories from the early years of slavery that we don't need forgeries to make the same points.

Babu, sounds like your student has read just a little too much DaVinci code! My class, by the way, LOVED that Coca-cola dressed Santa in red. It fit with a lot of their skepticism.
Ariel and Historiann, I know! There is so much that is horrible that really happened. Why the myths? The only thing that I can think of is that the myths work a bit like historical fiction: they neatly illustrate an idea in more modern language. Historical fiction, however, is just that: fiction. The myths are being passed off as reality, and that disturbs me.
Historiann and Babu, very good ideas on how to combat this. The Willie Lynch thing could serve as sort of a jumping off point for a lecture on the conditions and laws of slavery. The "prove that it happened" approach also might be a good tactic. Thank you!

Defense wins championships, or so the saying goes.
On Friday night, the Yellowjacket defense played with tenacity shutting out the Ridgeland Titians in a 23-0 Class 5A, Region 2 win.
"I challenged them at the half and I didn't realize it that we hadn't given up a touchdown in the first two division games, and this makes three in a row," said SHS head coach Jamie Mitchell. "We couldn't have given them any more chances than we did in the second half. Hat's off to the defense. They just weren't going to let them score, no matter what happened. I thought we did a great job on that side."
Three times the Titians (4-3, 2-1) were threatening to score and three times they were turned away, twice inside the 5-yard-line. It was simply a dominating performance by the defense which started with a Dondre Dailey interception on Ridgeland's second possession of the evening.
"He has played really good for us all year and one of our best cover guys," said Mitchell. "They threw the slant on the short side of the field and I thought that really set the tone when we put another one in and went up 14-0."
With each trip onto the field, the level of preparation was evident for the Jackets.
Starkville (4-3, 3-0) seemingly knew exactly what the Titans were going to run, something Mitchell was pleased with.
"They are well-schooled and they are going to play what they play," he said. "That's one good thing about playing a team like that. You don't have to guess because you know where they are going to be. It was just about if we could block them or not."
The Jackets held the visitors to just 126 yards of total offense and just seven first downs.
On offense, a trio of SHS players had the productivity with senior tailback Preston Baker leading the way with three scoring runs of 28, 1, 2 yards, all of which came in the first half. Baker had 10 carries for 62 yards but was surpassed by Jaquez Horsley with 89 yards on nine carries and Darius Grayer with seven carries for 89 yards.
"I thought in the first half, we did a good job and really clicked with so many people touching the ball that it makes it hard to load up on any one guy," Mitchell said. "I was just really frustrated in the second half because I felt like we lost our edge because we were up 20-0. We just can't let that happen."
For the game, the Jackets posted 374 yards of total offense with quarterback Gabe Myles going 9 of 18 for 88 yards through the air. As a team, SHS rushed for 286 yards on 40 carries.
Starkville will return to the road next week as they will travel to Canton to take on the Tigers.View more articles in:

Mechanical Breakdown Insurance reassurance
By Guest Blogger on June 1, 2010 at 9:45 AM
Posted in: Claims
By guest blogger Holly Z., performance monitoring analyst, San Diego
Recently I discovered that my vehicle needed to have its transmission replaced. I couldn't believe it! My vehicle was only five years old and I kept it in immaculate condition. I took it to the repair shop and the mechanic told me that it was probably going to cost about $1,200 to have it repaired. This was a mechanic that I have gone to for years for regular oil changes and tune ups, so I knew that he was being fair in his estimate.
Suddenly, I began to stress about the cost of repairs; I didn't have that kind of money to put towards my vehicle. Then I remembered something about my GEICO policy – I had been paying for Mechanical Breakdown Insurance (MBI) for just a couple of dollars a month. Could it be that this coverage helps me with my repair costs? Sure enough, MBI would cover the cost of the transmission and labor. I could take my vehicle to my favorite mechanic and get it fixed!
The coverage included all parts and systems of my vehicle (other than maintenance), not just the items that are covered by my dealer warranty. GEICO quickly handled my claim and I was able to get my vehicle fixed and back on the road in just a few days – and I saved more than $900! GEICO also guaranteed the repairs, so I didn't have to worry about the possibility of future repairs. Now, when I see our commercials with the eyeballs and money "watching me," not only am I reminded of how much I am saving by insuring with GEICO, but I think of the all the money I am now saving on mechanical repairs and glass coverage just by carrying Mechanical Breakdown Insurance!

i see your ads on tv and they're not funny, just stupid. that leads me to believe your company doesn't take insurance seriously. i don't do business with stupid!!!!!
by the way, i did get a quote from you and you were $4oo.00 more than i pay for state farm for the same coverage.
no reply is necessary!
I am very satisfied with auto insurance policy. I have been with Geico for years and have always received superior customer service when having to deal with the company. I give Geico Five stars….
I have to tell you Ron, you are way off base. I've had their MBI for 19 years, and they have paid every claim, very quickly, and very generously. It's probably saved me over $10,000. I don't know how they make any money off the MBI because it doesn't cost that much. If you've done any homework at all you would know that GEICO is a large company, and they take their insurance very seriously. While I've also had a good claims experience with State Farm on my house, there's a lot of people who haven't. I doubt seriously that GEICO costs $400 more than State Farm for the exact same coverage.
Waste of money. Been a Geico customer for 24 years. I think that it is time to change.
I had Mechanical Breakdown Insurance on my car for 11 years. When I bought it new, it was a small item on the bill. It went up slowly over time until I was paying $100 per year. Never used it.
When I examined my bill and realized I was paying for this, I called Geico to ask why this did not expire after 7 years. They said I had a special deal that gave me the breakdown insurance with no expiration.
I like Geico insurance. Totaled our F150 and travel trailer in an accident. Had to work with them some to figure out the travel trailer, but once we did, they were more than fair in their compensation. Couple years later, husband had a fender bender that was his fault and again, really good service. Through all of this, they never canceled our coverage.
I will NEVER do business with State Farm again. We had their homeowner's coverage and when a ceiling collapsed in our house, we contacted them to see if it might be something that was covered under our policy. We were told that it wasn't and they never paid out a DIME to fix the ceiling. The next time we were up for renewal, they canceled our policy. Their reason…..excessive claims against the policy. Excessive? We contacted them only the 1 time during the 4 or 5 years that we had our coverage with them and they never paid out anything in claims.
i have pet plan… all i can say is its amazing. go to the wbeiste and check it out… i have the gold plan which gives u $20,000 of coverage a year and you pick ur deductable and coinsurance..(i have a $50 deductable and 0% coinsurance) so i only pay $50 and pet plan pays the rest.they have the most coverage, even hereditary diseases and hip dysplasia.for more information, you can look at other questions ive answered about pet insurance, theres alot
I have been with geico for a while now. My insurance is extremely cheap for an RV and a diesel truck.
I was recommended by a current customer at the time, and I have recommended geico to others since then.
Everyone I know has saved money with geico. There is only one caveat; geico appears to be a little more expensive if you have tickets or an at-fault accident. I don't have any of those, so I could not be happier.
oops, I meant to say most everyone I know has saved money with geico, not everyone.
I called Geico for a quote, for 6 months they quoted me 767.11. AARP quoted me 565.97.
RUN as fast as you can to someone else.
At times MBI helps a lot.I agree.

Foundation can look grey if not chosen properly. Avoid shades that are too light. Undertones tend to have different color variances ranging from light to dark, so you may need to blend and mix a range of shades for different areas of the face. People with deeper skin tones tends to be darker across the brow and chin and somewhat lighter on the cheeks. To even this out you may need to apply a lighter foundation on the forehead and chin and a little darker shade on the cheeks. Learn more about finding the right foundation shade.
Concealer can be used under the eye or to lighten up the forehead or chin. Foundation is your all-over color, and is to be used to even out discoloration on the skin. If the skin is medium tone, choose a foundation with a yellow and peach undertone like chestnut and tawny. The tawny range will blend better with the undertones that have more of deep red warmth. Try Pressed Base in the chestnut range when working with undertones that have more of a sallow color to neck and face. This will even out the yellow in the skin. You may also want to blend the chestnut around the perimeter of the face then the tawny on the cheeks and nose area. This will give a beautiful finish with a natural effect. For a very deep skin tone, use a foundation that has a slight blue cast like cocoa.
*Precision Eye Pencils can double as a lip pencils for darker skin tones. Brown and deep plum work especially well

I think you need some time to be alone all by yourself. being alone make you think and decide and find the right way. but as you are in relationship you won't be able to figure things out. ask your fiancee to give you this time.
I know how you feel, when I was 16 I started wearing my 14 year old sisters panties. Without the panties I wasn't interested in boys or girls, but when in panties, boys were all I could think about.
Do you still wear panties?
Fake story.
No it's real. I know this guy. Been there.
