"Pastimes is a group of musicians who perform early music on period instruments.
We had been playing together for a couple years before forming in 1995 the ensemble now known as Pastimes. We began receiving requests to play at private parties, costume dinners and outdoor fairs, business functions, school assemblies, and occasionally in church settings. We play renaissance music from the late 1400s to the mid 1600s, ranging from formal courtly and liturgical music to refined or rustic domestic entertainment.
We take our name from a song attributed to Henry VIII called 'Pastime with Good Company'. Our goal is to provide as much fun for those who hear us as we ourselves are having, and we do aim to have a good time! Our home base is in Southeastern Pennsylvania and Northern Delaware.

"The ensemble recreates the elegant sounds of the official, professional wind bands of the late Medieval and Renaissance periods as well as the rustic entertainments of the peasantry. Audiences from Seattle to Spoleto, Italy, have marveled at the virtuosity of the ensemble, its precision and impeccable intonation, but most of all its vitality and enthusiasm. Shawms, sackbuts, dulcians, recorders, krumhorns, bagpipes, lutes, guitars and percussion provide the fascinating aural dimensions to an entertaining Piffaro performance. Piffaro has recorded extensively and can be heard on the Newport Classic, Deutsche Grammophon's Archiv Produktion, Wyndham Hill, Passacaille, and currently on Dorian Recordings labels. "

"Polyhymnia is a small ensemble of singers and instrumentalists focusing on historically informed performance of sacred music from the courts and cathedrals of the Renaissance world. The singers that comprise the ensemble are drawn from many sources, including some of the finest church choirs in New York. Past and present members have sung with Saint Thomas Fifth Avenue, Saint Ignatius of Antioch, Saint Luke in the Fields and Holy Apostles.

"Sarasa is a collective group of international instrumentalists and vocalists who perform classical music of outstanding quality, and bring this music to diverse communities. Through the ensemble's outreach program in adolescent detention facilities, it is dedicated to bridging cultural, aesthetic, and economic barriers and providing incarcerated teenagers with opportunities for growth and enrichment through music.
Sarasa was formed in response to a concert played by its founder, Timothy Merton, in the Sing Sing Correctional Facility in 1997, at the urging of a friend who was a prison volunteer. An inmate who heard that first concert remarked, "When art is well executed, it projects a message that transcends language, culture, and even aesthetic boundaries." Sarasa took these words to heart and since then has been bringing high-quality music to those who ordinarily have little access to it. In addition to its public concerts, the ensemble plays in adult and adolescent correctional facilities, homes for the elderly, mental hospitals, and institutions for the disabled. Sarasa also does three-week residencies in grade schools, using drawing and writing to bring children to a meaningful understanding of classical music.
The name Sarasa is derived from a combination of Saraswathi, the Hindu goddess of art and culture, and the poetic sanscrit word rasa denoting the essence of sound " Visit website for more information. (ed.)

"S. Chordæ Consort of Viols was founded by gambist John Dornenburg for the purpose of performing and recording the rich body of music for viol consort of the 16th and 17th centuries. The Consort has performed widely in California with presenters including the Berkeley Early Music Festival, San Francisco Early Music Society, San Jose Chamber Music Society, Santa Cruz Baroque Festival, Gualala Arts, and Magnificat. In 1999 they made their European debut at the Tage Alter Musik Festival in Regensburg, Germany. The Consort currently has three highly praised CD recordings released on the Centaur label. The most recent CD features Renaissance Music by Josquin Des Prez and Heinrich Isaac with guest vocalists Scott Whitaker and Susan Rode Morris. They have also recorded suites from Johann Hermann Schein's Banchetto musicale of 1617, and Claudio Monteverdi's Third Book of Madrigals played on viols alone without vocalists. In the chamber music of this period the consort of viols occupied a place of honor that in later centuries would be awarded to the string quartet. The repertory for viol consort embraces a wide variety of styles ranging from the chansons, madrigals, and dances of the Renaissance to the fantasias, anthems, consort songs, and suites of the early baroque. Three and sometimes four different sizes of viols create a blended sound that is warmly resonant yet surprisingly transparent. " Visit website for more information. (ed.)

Beat me in public cause hes getting it right back. Karma baby!
same thing
x) if she's gonna beat me in public, it's going to be me that breaks her heart =P
do u often talk like that to yourself?
don't give me that look and just hug me back =P
u just love to troll me =P
sorry neither. That's no partner for me
Bruises heal quicker than a broken heart but I'd dump him anyway for doing it! lol
at least if your partner beats you, you can sue them
Well that's either a warning shot or a direct hit...My aim is very good so he best keep his hands off me
This question is not for singles
I would prefer a broken heart. A relationship of domestic (and apparently very public?) abuse should be breaking your heart anyway. At least choosing the option of a broken heart saves you from the physical pain and possibly involving police and attorney and lots of expensive financial issues.

moreThe last thing Henry Arlington wants is a girlfriend. He's just very, very good with girls—reading their body language, knowing what they want to hear, and more importantly: getting them into the backseat of his car. But all that changes when he meets Garrett Lennox at one of the many Sweet Sixteen parties he crashes.
Garrett thinks she's done with guys. She was dumped by her ex when she moved from Chicago to Long Island, and now she realizes that she needs to find out who she is by herself, instead of with a boyfriend. What she really needs is some good friends.
Fortunately for Garrett, the J Squad—the "it" girls of East Shore High School—want her in their clique. All she has to do is pass one little test: get East Shore god Henry Arlington to take her to one of the biggest Sweet Sixteens of the year, then dump him in front of everyone.
Garrett has promised herself not to fall for another guy, so playing with Henry's heart shouldn't be hard. Right?
And Henry doesn't fall for girls, so when he and Garrett start to click, it doesn't matter. Does it?
As William Shakespeare once said, "Love is blind," or in this case, the lovers may be, as Henry and Garrett fall in love—and into the trap that awaits them. Because neither of them can even begin to see what the girls of Henry Arlington's past have in store.
This hilarious, sharp, and surprisingly thoughtful novel is the teen Wedding Crashers, filled with love, hope, laughs, and surprising insights about the terrifying process of falling in love.

1999 BMW 528i Q&A
1999 BMW 528i Question: Timing Chain Broke??
Hi, I own a 1999 BMW 528i Sedan. About a month ago I was having some problems with my car. I would push on the gas but it would not accelerate and would seem as if the car was choking, like it wasn't getting any gas to the motor. Is there an exact explanation for this? When it came down to it my car had appeared to be low on oil. I still had 2,000 miles before my next oil change and I have never had a problem with my oil being low or disappearing before. I always frequently check my fluids and make sure that they are topped off, because the car is old. It was given to me as a gift from a family member to keep me from having a car with a car note. I had a mechanic to check and see if it was possible that I had an oil leak, and I did not. So where did the oil go? Is it possible that the last time I got my oil change that they didn't do something right? So ultimately it has come down to the mechanic saying that I am going to have to replace the motor because of the broken timing chain, but he found out this information by asking someone who works for a BMW dealer. He said that in most cases you have to replace the motor. What would be the exception? Can I not just replace the timing chain itself? Would it hurt to buy a timing chain and try it to see if the solution is fixed? Do I really have no choice but to replace the motor? Does milage have to do with the weight of oil you use (257,000+)? Also what other components might I need to help me in this process? Can anyone help? I am a college student going into my last year of school, so I really need my car, and money is also a slight issue. What would be the best way for me to go? - tnj081990
Answer 1
If the engine had not previously "leaked or burned" oil it is possible not enough oil was put in the engine lat service but it is more likely at that mileage that if there isn't a leak then the engine is "burning" oil internally due to worn valve guides or seals or worn cylinder bores or worn piston rings. Look at the tailpipe to see if it is black and full of suit., remove he spark plugs to see if they are "clean" or have oily deposits. All this is really mute, the engine has serious internal damage. At that mileage it would probably be advisable to replace the engine if the rest of the car is inspected and found in good order.Just the timing chain replacement alone (if no other engine damage occurred) is 10 hours labor so it is a big job to do and at best then you would probably have an engine that still burns oil. - patrick mannion

"Foundations for Success
To broaden understanding of what it takes to keep students in school (or to return out-of-school students to the classroom) and on track for college, this report pulls from the high school reform movement to profile five Gates-supported-sites that are showing evidence of success. Four of the sites are secondary schools; two of them are part of charter management organizations (CMOs) and two are part of the local school districts. The fifth site is a program designed to bring out-of-school youth back into the classroom. All of the sites serve an ethnically and socioeconomically diverse student population and, at some point and in some fashion, all have identified as their overarching goal ensuring that students are college-ready. Staff at these sites recognize that, in the end, not all of their students will opt for college right after high school: some may not be able to afford it; some may want to pursue other interests (e.g., trade school, the military); some may feel limited by personal circumstances (e.g., the need to help support their family, a pregnancy). But whatever students ultimately choose as a next step after high school, these programs are committed to making sure students are academically prepared for higher education should they seek it." (pg. 5)
School Completion
"Washington State Achievers Program
Mabton Jr./Sr. High School is one of 16 schools in the state of Washington that receives support from the Washington Achievers Program. Created in 2001, the program works with large high schools serving low-income populations to increase the number of students enrolling and succeeding in college. In addition to supporting high school redesign efforts aimed at raising academic achievement, the program has a student scholarship program. Last year, approximately one-third of Mabton graduates received a full-ride college scholarship through the program. The Achievers Program reports that since its inception, its 16 member high schools have shown increases in38 the number of college prep courses offered and the number of students enrolled in them, the number of students passing the state's reading and mathematics exams, and the number of graduating students meeting course requirements for admission to a four-year public university in Washington State."
"To expand and enhance staff commitment, the district invited any interested teachers to join implementation committees that addressed such key issues as curriculum adoption and professional development.
The principal notes that, today in Mabton, "everyone is responsible for their piece of the puzzle to make sure students have the skills, abilities, and the thinking processes that allow them to be successful when they move forward." College awareness efforts begin in the 5th and 6th grades when students visit college campuses. Seventh and 8th grade teachers prepare students for high school to ensure they enter performing at grade level. And the 9th to 12th grade teachers are focused on preparing their students for college.
Implementing an academically rigorous curriculum
Once staff members agreed on the goal of readying students for college success, they developed a plan for meeting the goal, a plan that started with the adoption of a rigorous curriculum for every student. The school eliminated all remedial courses in favor of exclusively offering college preparatory courses. Additionally, the district's graduation requirements were changed to reflect the entrance requirements for a four-year college. "As a school, we raised the bar and the students are meeting the challenge," reports the principal.
Today, this academic shift is apparent in the available courses and in course enrollment. In 1996, Mabton offered no AP classes; today it offers four, and it plans to add more next year. Moreover, 40 of 109 juniors and seniors are now in AP English, with many others in AP Biology and AP Spanish. Approximately 85 percent of Mabton High School students now take Algebra II, and the school offers Algebra III (i.e., pre-calculus) as well. While Mabton's staff are not yet satisfied with student progress in math performance, the improvements are encouraging (see Table 2). A few years ago, physics and chemistry were offered only every other year due to low enrollment. Today, both courses are offered every year. In fact, rising demand has led to the addition of a second section for chemistry.
Examining and improving instruction
While many districts talk of setting high expectations for students, Mabton staff recognized the need to set high expectations for themselves as well. In the course of planning, they had discussed the importance of ensuring that students were receiving the kind of instruction they needed to succeed in the more exacting coursework. That series of conversations led to what was perhaps the most difficult and critical part of the school's transformation: coming to grips with the understanding that, as teachers, they would need to evaluate and perhaps revise their classroom practices. Thinking back to the discussions, the principal recalls, "We had to quit making excuses for why our kids weren't doing well - because of poverty or mobility - and start examining what we were doing in the classroom."
Mabton is committed to creating an environment in which everyone is expected to learn, including the principal and the school's most experienced teachers. A district-level staff member now mentors the principal, and the school's administrative structure has been shifted to enable the principal to provide greater support for teachers. In many schools, a principal's instruction-related efforts are undermined by his or her need to spend untold hours on paperwork and other noninstructional management responsibilities. In Mabton, the principal's chief role is now that of instructional leader, working closely with staff on all things related to curriculum and instruction. In turn, the vice-principal is responsible for noninstructional aspects of the school, such as attendance, discipline, and parent communication.
To further support teachers, Mabton has established on-site coaching positions. These individuals, who spend a lot of time in classrooms doing what staff call "elbow-to-elbow" coaching, have been especially helpful in helping teachers build confidence in teaching the new, more rigorous courses (e.g., advanced math). One significant objective is to create a system in which teachers are continuously assessing student performance, measuring their own effectiveness, and adjusting their instruction accordingly. "We're getting pretty good at looking at our students' data," says the principal. "We know our students and we know them pretty well."

|To Taste
Preheat the oven to 400°.
Cut rounded part of the chestnut.
Roast the nuts on a baking sheet for 5 minutes.
Remove the nuts from their shells using a small paring knife and peel away the shell and membrane.
It works best to only do a few nuts at a time, for they must be kept warm to ensure easy peeling.
In a large saucepan melt the butter over medium heat.
Add all of the vegetables and saute until soft but not browned, about 5 minutes.
Add the chestnuts, broth, brown sugar, nutmeg, and seasonings.
Reduce the heat and simmer for 40 minutes or until the chestnuts are soft.

Return it to the saucepan, add the cream and liqueur, and stir until heated through.

PASCO — DeSales scored 21 points in less than eight minutes here Friday in Southeast 2B football action and kick off Holy Bowl III.
The Irish never let Tri-Cities Prep recover as DeSales went on to post a 48-10 win.
"That was about as good as I've seen us play at the start of a game," Irish coach Mike Spiess said. "Our kids really played hard that first quarter on both sides of the ball."
DeSales forced a three-and-out on the first Jaguar possession, and forced a punt into the wind. The T-C Prep punt went 11 yards and the Irish opened their first possession at the Jaguar 47.
Quarterback Jeremiah Cox hit Andrew Elmenhurst for 31 yards, and then connected with Joe Duehn for 14. Luke Fazzari took it the last two — for his first of four rushing touchdowns — and the Irish led 7-0 with 2:30 gone in the game.
On the ensuing Jaguar possession, Matt Jubb recovered a T-C Prep fumble as the Irish took over at the Jaguar 21.
Cox hit Duehn for 12 yards, Fazzari ran a yard, and Fazzari scored his second TD as he took a pitch to his right and cut back for an eight-yard TD run, and it was 14-0 DeSales with 8:03 left in the first.
On the Jaguars' next offensive snap, Kyler Pommerening picked off an Evan Whitsett pass and the Irish offense went back to work at their own 46.
Andrew Elmenhurst broke a 19-yard gallop to lead the Irish to the Jaguar 14. Fazzari ran through the Jaguar defense for a 14-yard touchdown and a 21-0 Irish lead with 4:52 left in the first.
"Our team did a good job of coming out ready to go and fired up," Fazzari said. "We're usually slow starters, but in the past couple of games (last week's win over Tekoa-Oakesdale-Rosalia), we've done a really good job of coming out fast."
Down 21-0, the Jaguars got the wind at their back to open the second quarter. Whitsett opened the second with a 75-yard bomb to Mateo Ledesma and the Jaguars were on the board down 21-7.
On DeSales' first second-period possession, Michael Forbes picked off a Cox pass and T-C Prep had the ball at the Irish 27. Whitsett threw to the end zone but Ryan Baumgart picked off the pass to end the Jaguar threat.
Forbes got his second interception of the quarter to set the Jaguars up at their 46 with 5:59 left before intermission.
The Jaguars gave the ball to Bailey Rivas five consecutive times on a quick hitter through the middle of the Irish defense. Rivas gained 44 yards to the Irish 10.
"It took us a little while to figure out how to stop that," linebacker Fazzari said. "I give credit to that running back (Rivas), he was a powerful guy."
Maybe the Jaguars went to the well once too often, as Rivas ran his sixth consecutive quick-hitter, but this time the Irish defense got it stopped and forced a fumble. Andrew Elmenhurst recovered the loose ball at the Irish 9 to preserve the 21-7 lead.
"The bad news is that we didn't keep playing hard (after that first quarter)," Spiess said. "We had guys getting knocked on their backsides, but we created some turnovers. We were fortunate and it turned out to be a teachable moment at halftime about playing hard all the time."
The Irish went to the hurry-up mode to close out the first half. Aided by an 11-yard Andrew Elmenhurst gallop on a fake punt, DeSales marched to the Jaguar 35 with 40 seconds left. Cox hit Duehn down the near seam for 35 yards and the Irish lead swelled to 27-7 with 33 seconds left in the half.
"We've been doing a good job of putting pressure on the defense right before half," Spiess said. "At times (the wind was a factor), as it depends on how you're throwing the ball. Jeremiah put a little too much touch on a couple of passes, but if you throw the ball on a line (the Duehn pass), you're alright."
The Jaguars lost Whitsett to an ankle injury on the last play of the half, and Whitsett did not return.
Baumgart ran a reverse on the second-half kickoff for 29 yards to the Irish 39. Five plays later, Fazzari capped the 61-yard march with his fourth TD on a two-yard plunge.
Braden Kimball recovered the ensuing Paul Elmenhurst kickoff for DeSales at the T-C Prep 20. Fazzari had runs of six and 11 yards, before Andrew Elmenhurst went the last three. Paul Elmenhurst added the PAT and the Irish expanded the lead to 41-7 with 8:47 left in the third.
On the last third-quarter DeSales possession, Fazzari spun his way to a 31-yard gallop to set up a Cox-to-Duehn five-yard score and the Irish went to the fourth up 48-7.
"I thought our (halftime) message (to play hard all the time) was well received," Spiess said. "We played really well in the third quarter."
Cox threw for 169 yards to seven different receivers. Duehn led the receivers with six catches for 84 yards and two scores. Fazzari was the Irish workhorse in the second half as he ran for 110 yards to finish with 178 yards and four touchdowns on 28 carries.
"All the running is owed to the line," Fazzari said. "The line did a great job of responding to any setbacks we had."
The Irish improve to 6-1 overall, 3-1 SE2B, and host Asotin for homecoming Friday in the SE2B regular-season finale, with a win guaranteeing a No. 1 or No. 2 seed to the crossover state qualifier with District 7.
"We've put up a lot of points the last two weeks, but we've made a lot of mistakes on offense," Spiess said. "We need to clean those (mistakes) up if we want to get where we want to go."

Want to earn extra cash? Everyone needs it, especially during the holidays. We are going to let you know about a weekend business will give you more cash than most part-time jobs, and if you do it smart it can replace your full-time income. What is it?
bounce house rentals duncanville
That's right, a bounce house business!
I got introduced to bounce houses when I rented one for my daughters first birthday (picture below). I was driving down a street and had never seen a bounce house like this, so I had to pull over and ask how much it cost to rent and who the company was. A few months later I rented the Disney Princess bounce house.
Fast forward a few months later, and I am working the front desk of my duty station at my reserve unit. Someone drops off a business card of a bounce house company and I look up the company out of curiosity. Comes to be that this company has over 50 bounce houses and is making somewhere in the range of 5-7k a weekend. I start to do the math, and my jaw drops. 5 freaking thousand dollars a weekend! That's what some people make a month, working 40 plus hours a week at a job they hate.
I immediately got hooked and it wasn't until 3 years later that I was able to buy my first bounce house. Fast forward a few years later and we currently have 16 bounce houses and average 7-10 booking a weekend. On average we are profiting between $700-1,300 a weekend, and are normally busy 40 weekends out of the year, which is roughly between $28,000 – $52,000 a year on a part-time job. Yes a part-time job. We do still have a regular job, so in a sense we are double dipping, or over working ourselves, which ever you choose.
Now the reality. Getting into the business is actually a lot harder than you think. Sure you can buy a few bounce houses and start, but one mistake can cause you headaches and money. Remember, it took 3 years before I actually bought my first bounce house, and looking back, it was a bad decision.
A few tips (if I had to do it all over again):
1. Focus more on my online presence by having a nice website and doing better seo. Forget having more bounce houses, because there is no point of having a lot of them if they are sitting in your garage every weekend. In 2009 I paid a person $1,500 to built me a website. Huge mistake! I could have saved my money and had one built for $300. Take a look at our website www.duncanvillebouncehouse.com
2. Buy used. If you are patient you can find good deals from people looking to get out of the business. Some thought it was a good idea, and it just wasn't for them or their families. Some people have weekend obligations they need to tend to and this business is a weekend business. I have started to buy used, which I can usually pick up a bounce house at 60-70% off the new price.
3. Stay within 20 miles. When we first started, we wanted to book every party, it didn't matter the distance. We would drive 45-60 minutes from our location just to make $100. Big mistake! Think about it, drive 45 minutes there, another 45 back, and then the same to pick up. You are spending 3 hours driving to make $100. Focus on marketing within your geographic area and book within 20 miles. If you do take bookings outside the 20 miles, charge accordingly.
4. Buy a good trailer. It took me 3 years before I did this. I shouldn't have started the business until I had a good trailer. Huge mistake. We used to flip bounce houses in and out of a little s-10 truck. Probably hurt our backs. This was so dumb of us. I ended up paying 2k for a 6×10 trailer with a ramp. Must have a ramp! Life is a lot easier. I can attach any truck to the trailer, and I'm in business.
I'm sure there is more advice I can give, but that will be for part two. Stay tuned!

"This story is so compelling and so well written you'll find its magic working on you as well, completely taking over your ability to put the book down, even for a moment." (Columbia Daily Tribune)
"[Mull's] story offers unexpected twists and entertainingly scary creatures." (The New York Times)
I love clean books of all sorts. Love mysteries, fantasies epic to kids stories, fairy tales, romances, humor, and historical fiction
"Perfect Fantasy Adventure Story for All Ages"
While these books are geared toward children, they are really a lot of fun for any age. I love the imagined world in these books. I like the fact that the kids make mistakes but learn from them. I really love seeing their thinking process and what their imaginations come up with for solutions to difficult problems. The added characters, magical potions, magical artifacts and creatures are really cool.
My 9 year old son has just listened to this audiobook. You can't believe how much work and summer-time math practice I got out of that boy, because I wouldn't let him have my ipod to listen to this book until he was done with school practice and chores. At the end he said in a frantic voice, "Mom! Where is the third book?!"
Hooray that Audible has them on their site now! I'm going to get them all. I have them on CD already, but the CD versions are a NIGHTMARE to put into itunes. They misname files, misname the book, change the name of the narrator and the whole numbering sequence of the files. You honestly have to rename all of the hundreds of files to get it to play correctly on an ipod. We don't have many CD players left. I'm one of the people who has begged Audible to get these books because the CD's are truly atrocious. Only one problem..... where are books 4 & 5? Hopefully, they get them soon.
Warning: The narrator has a strange cadence, but you get used to it. It is the same narrator as for the first book, so if you liked that you're fine. Listen to the sample before you buy. He drives me nuts sometimes, but somehow you forget about it when the story picks up. He does old and young voices well and they use some cool special effects for monsters and other voices. I especially like his voices for the main characters. Seth and Kendra are spot on.
I'm listening to them all again at the same time as my son. The third book is one of my favorites, and I can hardly wait to listen to it. If you love clean fantasy adventures in a truly magical world, great main characters and an interesting storyline. You'll not miss the mark with Fablehaven 02 Rise of the Evening Star. Just as good or better than Fablehaven. Great books for the 8 to 14 set that adults will also enjoy. Great for LONG car rides and family fun! Some scary moments. No bad language or compromising situations. All around good fun.
"Good Story!"
This was a good story. I enjoyed it as a second installment. It sets you up quite nicely for the third story in the series.
"Good second chapter"
Excellent second chapter, hard to stand alone, but definitely worth the time. Recommended for anyone the enjoyed the first one! Sets up future story well.
Love the story, wish this had been mr Mull's 2nd or 3rd series as his writing has gotten more complex & added depth the more he writes. This trio would have been phenomenal if he had the depth he found in beyonders and even more so in the 5 kingdoms!! I have heard he is going to do more books in this universe though and I am super excited to see this world through his more mature writing skills! Love your work mr Mull!!!
"Great story"
This is my second time listening to this book! It's a great story.
I recommend buying the full series. Thnx
"5 stardom"
Loved the book and the guy who read it I can tell by the voices he used who is talking. He's great and the books great to
"Fun for the whole family."
Great story line. Can't wait to hear book 3.
Just enough twists to keep you hooked.
"Love Fablehaven!!!"
It was so great!!! These are some of my favorite books--the series is so fun to read. My husband and I have been
listening to these on tape, and we love them!
"Book 2 it was better than book1."
Fast-paced, fun, suspenseful.
Seth will always be my favorite character of the series.
EV Stevens is one of my favorite narrators of all time he ranks right up there with Michael Kramer, and Kate Reading.
Fable Haven rise of the evening Star, fun for he while family.

|Ever since the release of GREATEST HITS 1974-78 in 1978, that particular Steve Miller Band compilation has become the kind of ubiquitous album found in every college student's record collection. YOUNG HEART updates the aforementioned HITS album by including its entire track listing, minus the obscurities "True Fine Love" and "Winter Time." Otherwise, classics like the socially conscious "Fly Like an Eagle," snappy "Jungle Love," sassy "The Joker," and country-fried "Dance Dance Dance" get the digitally remastered scrub and brushing. More importantly, this is the first anthology that draws from Miller's entire 35-year association with Capitol Records. This means "Abracadabra," the Milwaukee native's only '80s chart-topper, is included with '60s fare like the hard-charging rave-up "Livin' in the USA" and the 1969 Paul McCartney collaboration "My Dark Hour." Other cuts representing Miller's '80s and '90s output include ethereal "I Want to Make the World Turn Around" and the harmony-laden twang-fest "Wide River." Often overlooked in the pantheon of classic rock greats, Steve Miller more than proves his mettle by way of the career-spanning approach perfectly executed on YOUNG HEART: COMPLETE GREATEST HITS.

Area Sales Regional Managers in the United States tend to be well-versed in their field, and close to three-fifths have more than 10 years of experience. Average salary is expected to be around $72K per year, but may range from $49K to $128K per year. Total incomes of Area Sales Regional Managers incorporate potential for, in a few cases, more than $30K from bonuses and close to $14K from profit sharing; these performance components cause packages to range between $49K and $128K. A large number report receiving medical coverage from their employers and a fair number collect dental insurance. Most people who answered the questionnaire are men; 66 percent of Area Sales Regional Managers are male. Job satisfaction is high and work is enjoyable for most Area Sales Regional Managers. The data for this synopsis comes from respondents who took the PayScale salary survey.
Add this chart to your site:
Copy and paste this HTML:
Area sales regional managers (also called area sales managers or regional sales managers) are generally considered part of the sales and marketing branch of an organization. Area sales regional managers may work in a variety of industries including manufacturing, construction, electronics, and retail, among others. The area sales regional manager is responsible for overseeing the sales functions of a specific geographical region or area in which the business provides goods or services. Their day-to-day responsibilities include increasing sales for company products and services, establishing new customers, providing service to current customers, and recruiting new sales staff. They are also in charge of training current staff, soliciting customer feedback, handling customer complaints, and monitoring the performance of the sales representatives assigned to their region.Read More...
Area sales regional managers work with other sales associates, upper management, accounting professionals, marketing professionals, and external customers and clients. Individuals in this position usually report to a general sales manager or director of sales. A full-time work week is typically required, with overtime and additional hours needed at times. Travel is usually required for this position, and international travel may be needed depending on the region to which the manger is assigned.
Area sales regional manager jobs typically require a bachelor's degree in business, marketing, or a related field, as well as a minimum of three to five years of experience working in a sales environment. Prior experience in a supervisory role is preferred. The area sales regional manager must have excellent written and oral communication skills, pay attention to detail, and have good sales and negotiation skills. They must be able to lead other employees and motivate them to reach their sales goals and milestones as well.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Salaries of relatively inexperienced workers fall in the neighborhood of $64K, but folks who have racked up five to 10 years see a notably higher median of $89K. Area Sales Regional Managers claiming one to two decades of experience make an estimated median of $94K. Folks with more than two decades of experience actually report lower incomes overall; their average comes out to a mere $93K.

Ryan, baseball's first million-dollar player, realizes the game has changed. Players are averaging nearly $3 million a year. The industry is generating nearly $7 billion. And agents are loathe to let their clients throw 300 innings.
Still, Ryan is determined to change the pitching philosophy in Texas. He would love to confiscate every pitch counter used by coaches. It drives him batty when he watches pitchers being pulled from games because their pitch count hits 110 or 120.
"We have to change this mindset," says Ryan. "Some of the guys have been on a pitch count since Little League. It should be tailored to the individual.
"These pitchers have to realize what their capabilities are, and build up their stamina. I remember it used to be that 300 innings was the benchmark for an ace. If you were a starter, you were expected to pitch at least 250 innings. Now, you may have one guy go 200 innings on your whole staff.
"That's why you see 12, 13 pitchers on every team.."
Ryan expressed these sentiments to the Rangers front office and coaching staff. He may be a softy at heart and always a gentleman, but when the boss talks, you better listen.
"He made suggestions along those lines about pitch counts," Rangers manager Ron Washington says. "So we're trying to keep them out there as long as they can. We have to be smart monitoring what they're doing, but if you got the horses, you can let them go a bit."
There was a moderate difference in the first three weeks. The Rangers' rotation averaged 96.3 pitches per game and lasted 5.93 innings per start. A year ago, they averaged 81.2 pitches and 5.44 innings.
Rangers ace Kevin Millwood became the first Ranger in nearly two years to throw a complete game. It was April 5 vs. the Los Angeles Angels, albeit an eight-inning effort in a 2-1 loss. The starters have thrown at least 100 pitches in eight games.
"I love it," Millwood says. "It seems like they've let me go a little longer than I did in the past. I'm not going to jeopardize the game just to be a tough guy, but I can tell you when I'm tired and when I'm not.
"But what (Ryan) did, I don't see anyone doing anything like that again."
Ryan, who threw the fifth-most innings in baseball history, told the Rangers' executives and coaches how critical conditioning was to his career. He would not only routinely throw batting practice to his teammates, but would do wind sprints after each 10-minute interval, lasting about 30 minutes.
"Obviously, he's got strong feelings about pitching," Rangers general manager Jon Daniels says, "and we were able to incorporate some of the things Nolan did into our farm system. We've encouraged a lot of our (minor league) managers and pitching coaches that they have the flexibility to let their pitchers go past 100 pitches. We're not going to call down there (and complain) as long as they're not putting the pitchers at risk. We're having our young pitchers throw live batting practice, too."
So they're running wind sprints between BP sessions, too?
"Uh, baby steps," Daniels says. "We don't want to shock these guys too much."
