Our search for a first major champion continues, but Lee Westwood showed at Augusta that it won't be long before he fills our void. After finishing third in his previous two grand slam events, Lee went one better by finishing runner up to a very impressive Phil Mickelson at the US Masters.
It seemed that fate was smiling more on Phil than Lee during a marvellous final day when Augusta was once again filled with the roars that reverberate around the undulating, pine strewn acres of The National. It was definitely a case of the American winning it rather than the Englishman losing it because Lee can take great heart from his effort to win his own first major after being so close at each of last year's Open and US PGA Championships.
I know he will be looking forward to the next three at Pebble Beach, St. Andrews and Whistling Straits... and don't bet against him knocking one of them off. He is definitely one of the world's best players right now and his play is of such a high standard that bigger and better days are ahead.
What backs up that prediction is that Lee has discovered the best way to prepare for a major. It was no coincidence that Lee came to Augusta early and played a couple of practice rounds without anybody being around. He found a way to get round the course when he was free of any distractions.
Ernie Els finished strongly to claim a place in the top 20 and after two wins from five tournaments in six weeks he will be able to reflect with satisfaction on a job well done. Fellow South African Charl Schwartzel also had a very good first Masters and he will be back many times in the future.
Our four other representatives all missed the cut but what experience for Rory McIlroy, Simon Dyson, Louis Oosthuizen and Chris Wood. Their days in the sun will continue to add up.
Augusta is definitely a very difficult place to play without experience so Charl can be very proud of his efforts while the others will have learned valuable lessons for future visits. It will be good for Simon to get back into the European campaign again so that he can continue his fight for a Ryder Cup place while Chris will benefit from a run of tournaments in more familiar surroundings.
All in all a very good week was had in Georgia and we can look forward to the rest of the summer with even greater confidence and enthusiasm.
Congratulations to Phil on a job well done especially considering what he has been going through off the course with his mother and wife battling against cancer. It was his day, but I definitely feel that Lee's will follow.

Since 1989, the major goal of our clinical research with adult cochlear implant recipients has been to determine how to program an individual's speech processor to provide the best understanding of speech. The processor has the capability of activating the implanted electrodes in a variety of different ways, separately or in combination. Therefore it is necessary to adjust the processor that optimizes this activation in a way that is customized for each individual. For each study, two or three sets of adjustments have been chosen for comparison in a rigorous research design. Between six and twelve adults from our program participated in each study which covered a period of one to five months in weekly, two hour sessions
Results of these studies have demonstrated the significant improvement in speech recognition by research subjects for certain speech coding strategies. Two examples are the Nucleus 22 multipeak speech coding strategy (MPEAK) in 1989, and the spectral peak speech coding strategy (SPEAK) in 1994. We also have found improvement with certain settings, for example, assignment of frequency bands of incoming sound to electrodes in the inner ear. Recent experimental results with the Nucleus 24 device have shown that it is also important to have more than one speech coding strategy available. We have found that individuals differ in the strategies they use to optimize their understanding of speech and which they prefer to use in everyday life. With the preferred strategy, they can communicate with greater ease in face-to-face conversation and on the telephone. Analysis of individuals' responses to words presented during testing has revealed that individuals differ in their speech recognition patterns across speech coding strategies. When this analysis is complete, we hope it will suggest ways to modify selection of speech processor parameters for improved speech recognition and to develop training tasks for aural rehabilitation.
In another area of research, we are collaborating with colleagues in the Department of Radiology to determine the precise position of the cochlear implant electrode array in the inner ear of our patients. Our past studies have confirmed that there is great variation in the dimensions of the human inner ear. When the surgeon inserts the electrode array into the inner ear it is done essentially blindly, relying on resistance to determine the stopping point. Therefore, radiological information is critical to tell us where the array is in relation to auditory neurons in each person's ear.
Our present collaboration is designed to enhance our ability to identify the position of the electrode array. Having gained this knowledge, we will compare each electrode's position with behavioral measures of the softest to loudest sound heard and inner ear recordings of auditory neurons' response to stimulation of each electrode. It is hoped that this analysis will provide a new basis for choosing speech processor adjustments that will lead to even better understanding of speech.
2. An overall view of research by Susan Binzer
For a number of years, cochlear implant recipients in our program and their partners have filled out a questionnaire called the Communication Profile for the Hearing Impaired (CPHI). They respond to the CPHI before and after cochlear implantation so we can evaluate their assessment of the degree of benefit from the implant. Recent analysis of their responses to the CPHI has shown that their perceived level of benefit agrees well with their success in understanding speech with their implants. Our findings suggest that the CPHI is a valuable tool for evaluating the psychosocial benefits of a cochlear implant.
CPHI results for four recipients were unusual in that the patients appeared to deny typical reactions to communication problems. We investigated the belief systems and coping mechanisms of these four individuals. We discovered that in everyday living, these individuals appear to cope well and have accepted the limitations of deafness. Analysis of their narratives suggests that their belief systems, including their strong spiritual faith, assisted them in achieving acceptance of their condition rarely seen amongst their hearing-impaired peers. Ongoing research is designed to evaluate other aspects of psychosocial benefit of cochlear implantation and hearing rehabilitation.

Can get crowded fast but if you're looking for cozy, intimate and relatively quiet this place is wonderfully tucked away! The teas are amazing and they have a very nice wine and beer selection. Food is really good but the pastries are wonderful! I highly recommend.
Posted by Filmmakr40 on 08/19/2011
We live very close to this great tea place and whenever we want to leave the house and have a nice cup of tea with dessert, we go here. They have Wi-fi so we bring our laptops. Their teas are delicious. The Matcha latte is my particular favourite. The desserts, especially the darjeeling tart, is excellent. Servers are all very pleasant and knowledgeable and the atmosphere is quiet, with great music and nicely lit. It's one of our favorite places in the Village for a quiet, relaxing evening.

I really want to love this place and in some ways I do. I've been tracking this place for months as I walk past it every day to and from work. When it finally opened, I was super excited. I've gone a couple of times since then and have learned the following: Tea is amazinggggg. They have 100 different types of teas and can make you any concoction you want. Also a large pot of tea is enough for 3 people for 3 cups each so in terms of value, it's very good. As for the food, i've only tried the pastries and it's been a sore disappointment. To be fair, I've only gone at night so maybe if i went during the day, it would taste fresher but at night, everything tasted old. Not sure how the other reviewer likes it but this place is slow and quiet, which is what i love about it. I can bring my computer and just chill out the whole day. Staff doesn't mind. It's never super crowded which is what I want when I just wanna do some letter writing or read a magazine. It still has that hidden gem feel to it. So bottom line, come for tea and eat beforehand.
Posted by William on 05/18/2011
It's a cute little place, sure, but it's just plain weird. Staff are completely disorganized, all the food chillers are filled with condensation, and the restaurant is always empty. Plus, the macaroons are subpar--old, dried up, discolored, like they've been sitting in the refrigerator for weeks. Never again.

Gear Question
Jon Flagstaff,AZ
does anyone have any knowledge on this new...
does anyone have any knowledge on this new fabric and how it compares in the field against the previous epic fabric generation?
I am going to ask the same question. I liked this cool tent, but comparing materials I think a MSR hubba is better choice. Nanoshield only supports 900 mm column of water, hubba 1500 and the floor 2000 whereas the hubba 5000. Could anyone give his oppinion?
John, I have a Nanoshield Highlight and have yet to camp in it. I did however set it up in my driveway during a huge rain storm (un-seam sealed) and sprayed water from a hose on it at the same time. I too was curious about Nanoshield. After an hour or hard rain and 30 mins. of me squirting it, I found about three drops behind an interior pole. It was virtually floating in water. I was shocked! I will seal it and will have no problems taking it out on the trail.

Taylor Swift Celebrates Her Birthday With Harry Styles — And Meets His Mom!
Taylor Swift is another year older today!
The country superstar turns 23 on December 13, and Harry Styles has been making sure that her birthday week is amazing as the two vacation in rural northern England. The pic of the lovebirds holding actual birds was snapped by a fan during their trek.
On Tuesday (Dec. 11), the two were spotted at the Rising Sun pub in Hope Valley, roughly 170 miles north of London. The pub's manager tells People that they enjoyed "traditional English food."
Harry and Taylor sat by the fireplace with two friends, according to onlookers.
"She was polite and pleasant — fantastic," the pub's manager says. "She is just having a nice tour of England. They were like any typical group of people having dinner. Everyone thinks they are a couple, but to be honest, we had no sense of that at all."
It sounds like they're trying to live while they're young — although Taylor is a little less young today.
Harry is from that area of northern England, and apparently his mom has been showing the two of them around. Too cute!
Things have been going awfully well for this rather new couple. The two were rumored to have been seeing each other in April, but they didn't last at the time, so Taylor moved on to Conor Kennedy.
When she and Conor split earlier this year, she and Harry decided to try again. News broke about the two when Taylor cozied up to Harry on the set of The X Factor in November.
Since then, it's been quite a whirlwind romance, with rumors that Taylor is looking to buy a home in England to be closer to him. Harry's One Direction bandmates are said to approve of the pair, as does Taylor's bestie Emma Stone.
And they've been spotted everywhere, including on an adorable stroll through Central Park earlier this month.
It looks like they've each got that one thing! Best of luck, you two.

She was awesome! I will be a returning customer!!
A. When looking for a designer, do your research and shop around. Have a clear vision of what you want. As a designer, I enjoy helping clients achieve their vision; I can't do that if the client does not express their vision adequately.
Another piece of advice for those looking for a new designer is to have realistic expectations. I can not duplicate a multimillion dollar corporation's website for you in 4 days, on a $900 budget. I CAN, however, provide you with a divine design, according to your budget, in a reasonable time frame.
A. If I were a customer, I would be happy to know that my designer can offer me a range of options based on my needs and my budget. Too often web design services have a "one size fits all package", which may or may not meet the client's needs. I try to customize my packages to fit each client individually, so that they do not have to pay for functionality or services that they may not need.
A. Consumers should ask for a customized package, based on their specific needs. For example, if a consumer needs a website that requires frequent updates, they should be certain to ask their designer to create their website in a manner so that they can update the site themselves. Although this type of design is initially more costly than the traditional website, this can help to avoid costly maintenance fees in the long run.
A. Clients should try to formulate a realistic vision for their design before seeking me out. Although I do appreciate having creative license to design according to what I think the client's needs are, I do like to obtain some input from the client.
A. My work stands out from others because I am capable of providing designs in a variety of styles. My competitors tend to stick to one design style. I am capable of providing clients with any design style that they desire, whether traditional, boutique, retro, trendy or unique!
A. I love making beautiful designs that make my clients and their customers happy.

Former United Lincolnshire Hospital trust boss breaks gagging order
Posted: February 14, 2013|
A MAN formerly responsible for running health services in Louth has broken an NHS gagging order to speak out about his concerns over patient safety.
Gary Walker was sacked as chief executive of the United Lincolnshire Hospitals Trust (ULHT) in early 2010 on grounds of "gross professional misconduct" for allegedly swearing in a meeting.
He claims he had no choice but to sign an agreement linked to a confidentiality clause in April 2011, adding it was a case of either signing the so-called "super gag" agreement or losing his house.
Nearly two years on, Mr Walker is the first former NHS employee to break the gag.It comes a week after Robert Francis QC, who led the public inquiry into the Stafford hospital scandal, demanded that such agreements should be "banned".
Speaking on BBC Radio 4's Today programme, Mr Walker, 42, revealed that he and former trust board members claim the real reason for his dismissal lay in his refusal to hit Whitehall targets for non-emergency patients.
He says demand for emergency hospital beds in 2008 and 2009 became so acute that he felt he had no other choice than to abandon the 18-week Whitehall target for non-emergency cases.
ULHT is one of 14 hospitals in England currently being investigated for high deaths rates, in the wake of the Stafford hospital scandal, where hundreds are believed to have died after receiving poor care.
He said: "It's a simple decision: you have emergency care or you have care that could wait.
"It's not nice to wait but it could wait and therefore we chose as a board – it was not just me – that we should take priority – that emergency care should take priority."
Mr Walker warned senior civil servants that he faced the same dilemma that led to disaster in Mid Staffs.
But he claims that his immediate bosses at the East Midlands Strategic Health Authority (SHA) instructed him to hit the targets "whatever the demand" and then ordered him to resign when he refused to back down.
A spokesman for the SHA said it "totally refuted" Mr Walker's allegations, describing them as "unfounded".
The spokesman said the SHA had always acted "appropriately and properly" in the "interest of patients"
.He added: "The SHA... initiated an investigation in April 2009 which looked at quality and safety in the Trust. A number of senior doctors and nurses formed part of the review team which interviewed patients and visitors, as well as a range of Trust clinical and managerial staff.
"The review confirmed that there appeared to be a lack of strategic direction at the Trust and that clinical governance arrangements were weak.
"The SHA worked closely throughout that period with commissioners and key regulatory bodies, but in the final analysis, the SHA had to take action in order to assure quality care for patients."
Following the recording of his interview with the Today programme, Mr Walker received a letter from solicitors representing the United Lincolnshire Hospitals Trust.
The note from lawyers DAC Beachcroft said: "Having seen an outline of the issues, we have advised our client that if you have provided an interview or should this interview proceed you will be in clear breach of the agreement and as a result the Trust would be entitled to recover from you the payments made under the agreement and any costs including its legal costs."
Mr Walker has dismissed the note as a "threat".

LeBron James became the youngest player in NBA history to reach 20,000 career points Wednesday night at Oracle Arena. The Miami Heat trounced the Golden State Warriors, 92–75. But if that wasn't enough, he also achieved his 5,000th career assist in the same game.
James was just 28 years, 17 days old.
James now boasts 20,046 points, 5,016 assists, and 5,251 rebounds in his career making him just 1 of 12 players in history to reach those lofty statistics.
During his 10 seasons in the NBA, James has become one of the most recognizable faces of the league. He is a three-time NBA MVP, has two gold medals, and one NBA championship. His stats put him among some of the greatest players to ever play the game, and he's not even 29 years old yet.Michael Jordan may be the best to ever play in the NBA. But James may just rewrite the history books by the time his career is finished.

This is a big fashion surprise. The new "it" designer handbag is a $2.99 Home Depot reusable tote. Yes, really.
The signature orange tote bags from the big-box store has been popping up on Instagram and in hipster party photos in New York City.
How many have you thrown out without even thinking about it? I did find out that the $2.99 bag is sold out but Home Depot has a smaller tote still available for 99 cents, if you really want one.
Maybe you could accessorize it with their snazzy 97-cent painter's cap. LOL.
So, where there's a trend there is an opportunity to cash-in. I saw on eBay over 100 of the orange totes are for sale. One had a bid of $41! Whoa. Not sure I want one THAT bad.

For a long time, it seemed that restoration and use of this 34 story sky scraper would never happen – but here we are – returning for a preview tour of the David Broderick Tower.
Thanks to the good people at J.C. Beal Construction we get to go on a tour of the Broderick Tower here.. The building is really coming along, and even has a finished model unit now. Many efforts are going into retaining as much as the buildings original beauty and design as well as its rather aged patina in places. Financially pragmatic, and yet historically sensitive.
First thing you are hit with is the splendid lobby interiors and ceilings.
First stop on the tour was straight to the roof. I haven't been up there since 2004.
Fred Beal – on the external utility elevator giving information on the restoration and progress as well as expected use and leasing of units.
Fred Beal with the press group on the roof of the Broderick Tower.
The top penthouse level is not finished at this time because this type of construction on skyscrapers goes bottom to top. The model unit was done on a higher floor to show off views, while the remaining construction continues low to high.
Let's check out some of the best views in the entire City while we are up here…
Fred Beal showing the model unit to reporters.
First two levels will be restaurant and mezzanine. Parking is plentiful for the building, via the underground municipal lot beneath Grand Circus Park (just like the Kales uses). The entry lobby will be staffed at all times.

Excuse my stupid, but how'd you get your invite? It occurs to me it could be this site or a day job, but I'm just wondering which.
it's bizarre how a space in a blg can go from being completely neglected one year, and no one is stopping you from walking up in there and doing whatever you want…enjoying the rich man's view, taking a piss in the corner, having a party, whatever.
then the next year they want to charge you >$1,000/mo to live in part of it, and now you have to stay within your little space instead of wandering freely thru the whole blg.
or how you could have 2 blgs next to each other, one abandoned the other rented, and the people living in the one are paying rich bucks for the same view you could get by climbing up in the abandoned one.
i mean it makes sense, but its still odd to think about.
I miss that roof! Thanks for the pics, DFunk.
So, when do you and Mrs. Funk move in?
Very cool! Great shots. Maybe their logo should be "if you lived here you'd see home runs now"?

What a great way to spend a summer afternoon: learning how to cook a complete meal on the grill from the masters at Pork Barrel BBQ.
The grilling demo was part of the Wagshal's Market 2010 Grill Masters Series. A gourmet market and delicatessen in the Spring Valley neighborhood of D.C., Wagshal's supplies the meat and seafood used by Pork Barrel BBQ when they're out smokin' the competition on the BBQ circuit. They are also the exclusive distributor of Iberico pork – some of the world's best pork that comes from a Spanish breed of acorn-fed pigs.
Heath begins the demo with some Grilled Rosemary Lemon Poussin (a young chicken around 4 weeks old at slaughter).
Grilled Lemonade coming our way:
GRILLED lemonade?! How the heck does one grill lemonade? The lemons are sliced in half and grilled before juicing. Mixed with a little rosemary-infused simple syrup, the grilled lemonade was, for me, the highlight of the demo (and I don't even like lemonade because it's usually sickeningly sweet). This unexpected twist on a classic summer drink would make a killer cocktail mixed with some Firefly Vodka (distilled in my home state of South Carolina). Heath also suggested using it for margaritas. Yes, please.
Proving that grilling isn't just for carnivorous types like me, the menu featured a vegetarian option: Grilled Vegetable Ratatouille. You won't have any trouble eating your vegetables when they're prepared like this: rubbed with olive oil and a little Pork Barrel All-American Spice Rub, then grilled, chopped and mixed with olive oil, balsamic vinegar and fresh herbs.
No summer meal is complete without a great dessert featuring fresh, seasonal fruit. During the making of this dessert, a strong gust of wind picked up the tent and nearly sent everything crashing to the ground, summer disaster movie-style. The Wagshal's team rushed to secure the tent and the dessert prep continued.
"The important thing is that the grill was not harmed."
The best part about this dessert is its versatility (oh – and it's also insanely good and you don't have to feel guilty about eating it). When someone in the audience asked why they brushed the peaches with vegetable oil and not olive oil before grilling, the ideas started rolling. Vegetable oil has a higher smoke point than olive oil, explained Heath and Brett, but you could experiment with different oils such as hazelnut oil, walnut oil, or avocado oil. You could also use any kind of stone fruit or pineapple and whatever berries you have on hand. They suggested grilling the fruit just before serving and the entire dessert comes together in just a few minutes.
After the event, we chatted with Brett about the new Pork Barrel BBQ restaurant set to open this September in Del Ray. Secret Agent Man and I have long believed that Del Ray is desperately in need of a good bar – a place you can meet friends for a beer, watch a game and also have a great meal. Pork Barrel BBQ sounds like it will fit this bill (and hopefully they'll be serving some version of a Grilled Lemonade Cocktail:)
We also scored some Pork Barrel t-shirts (thank you, Brett!) which we'll wear with pride at Gold's Gym when we're working hard to earn our BBQ.
Brett also talked up Wagshal's famous beef brisket sandwich. (You can read more about it in this Washington Post article.) Our two $5 Wagshal's coupons were burning holes in our pockets, so we took Brett's advice and went to check out the Market and the Deli.
The tomato cucumber salad I got left much to be desired, but the sandwich did not disappoint. Secret Agent Man was kind enough to offer me a bite and I gladly accepted it about 15 seconds after I took this photo:
Thanks to Wagshal's and Pork Barrel BBQ for all the good eats and grilling tips! The summer grilling season is off to a great start.

Hi. My name is Rick Fuller. I appointed my buddy Paul Matyas for Undersheriff who was run out of the Portage Police because he is nuts. I never know where he is because he is usually hanging out with his buddy Craig McDonald at the NASCAR races or Craig is adding more blinking lights to his Sheriff's car. No wonder McDonald is allowed to charge anything he wants for towing cars from accidents.
Vote for me! I am still in way over my head but I am having fun wearing my Louis Vuitton (isn't he one of those eyetalian designers?) glasses on TV when ridiculously minor things happen. I hope Obama gets the minorities and college kids to vote straight Democrat like they did four years ago or i will be back babysitting inmates on the first shift in the jail I built but can't afford to staff!
That looks like Rick Fuller!!
This makes no sense. Property values are going down but revenues are up? 80% of the property tax appeals were granted this year proving that the Assessor's office has been artificially holding assessments up. While the council has done a brave job of fighting off Randall's claims of dishonesty in the assessors office, it won't last forever.
There is no explanation of where The $7,800,000 is coming from in one year to increase the fund balance to 25% while lowering the millage rate. All you do by increasing the fund balance is keep taxes higher than needed to save money to spend when expenses exceed revenue. The balance increase is only a short term fix. If we have an extra 7.8m in the budget, how about a significant tax decrease this year? There is no long term plan mentioned to replace the revenue lost by the elimination of the PPT. What are we going to do to offset the revenue losses? Something makes no sense with this plan.
How much of the City Manager's budget is booked against the water and sewer fund? Kalamazoo has done this for years thus relieving some burden on the general fund (albeit improperly and unethically).
Just what we need is one more Sheriff's Department insider who is irritated with his boss. Edmonds and Anderson are supporting him? That should tell you everything you need to know. More of the same good old boy system. Nothing new. No new ideas..... We need some new blood from the outside. Ugghh.
Why bash Johnston? He and his wife have contributed so much to the community. Much more than the average person understands. Yes, some things they have done are self serving but we all do that. The Radisson was a huge investment in the community and Kalamazoo paid the Johnston's back by over taxing them. This should be the real story. Kalamazoo's Assessor significantly overtaxed the Radisson and Nacci clearly understood this. That is why he anticipated giving a refund. The real story is how many other businesses are over assessed but don't have the finances to fight city hall. Most commercial properties in Kalamazoo and Portage are way over assessed and the two cities refuse to be honest. Gazette. Why don't you dig deeper into this?
Thank god. Nice guy but he is a zero as a commissioner. He does whatever Buskirk tells him to do.
The police car associated with this company was announced a few years ago when Ford announced it would no longer produce the Crown Victoria which was the most popular police vehicle. Since then, Dodge, Chevrolet and Ford have offered numerous new cars for the Police market. There are now 9 or 10 vehicles available. The company is going to really struggle to penetrate the police vehicle market. The government actually did its due diligence on this request and it should have been denied. This is a typical case where traditional funding sources are unavailable because the sales plan is extremely risky. This is really a case where government needs to stay out and let the market take care of itself.
No sense in stepping up law enforcement activities because convictions will increase and we will have to imprison the people but we have no more prison capacity. Maybe we should work harder on economic development on the east side so people can make an honest living. Also, since Snyder wants wants local governments to combine services, why don't we do that at the state level? Just think of how much money we could save if we cut the legislature down by 75% and combined the governors office with Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin and Minnesota. One Governor for the five states, one state police department.... Heck, let's just do like the Italians and have 2 police departments for the entire country and no governors!
There must be proof that the car was being operated on a public roadway by a drunk driver. This a grey legal area. It is legal to drink and drive on private property as long as you are not driving carelessly or wrecklessly. It could also be argued that she was simply sitting in the car drunk. Nothing illegal about that as long as it was on private property.
The ex wife has no say in the matter. End of story.
Al Heilman is nuts!!!!!!!
Wait. We voted in a county wide tax millage decades ago. It primarily benefits the City of Kalamazoo. Two studies have been done by county administrators and both pointed out that Kalamazoo receives much more than it puts in. Also, the whole basis of home rule government is that local communities should make these decisions. A new county wide millage will be used up to pay to staff a county jail that voters twice turned down and was funded by a shell game the county commission dreamed up 8 years ago. Cities and the people of the county have made it painfully clear they are not interested in unigov. We want to make our own choices and we will have to pay for the choices community by community. Southwest Michigan First needs to get busy creating jobs which it has had very little luck doing despite the fact that they take credit for every new or retained job in the county.
The council needs to look very hard at both people involved. It has been reported that West owned a property that was allowed to go into tax foreclosure. This has become a very expensive liability for the Village. The Village has been responsible for mowing and upkeep due to the negligence of a Village employee in his personal matters by failing to insure the home that was on the property. Why would the village manager poo poo the fact that a department head wasn't paying his property taxes. Perhaps he advised him to allow this to happen since the county would eventually make the village whole on the tax bill. A careful examination into this subject would tell you he has received special treatment from the Village Manager with the knowledge of elected officials. This same Village Manager allowed the former Chief of Police to chase respected employees out of the department in the past. Now, he is giving special "passes" to the current hand picked successor, West. Crawford was given the job with no public administration credentials. He was given the job because he was the former Manager's assistant (while in high school). At the end of the day, from the manager, to the council to the Chief of Police, the good old boy network has been at work at the expense of the people of Vicksburg. Crawford and West must be discharged.
It all comes down to bad parenting. After all, even a single doe household can teach her child to look both ways for cars before they cross the street. Unless... maybe they do it on purpose to play chicken with the motoring public or it is because of substance abuse. Regardless, Obama should create a new social entitlement to address the problem!
Oh no. How will I get to Three Rivers???
So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, adieu, nobody is going to miss you!
It's a bit of a stretch. Well, a lot of a stretch.
Mrs. Randall has been treated poorly by Sackley from the beginning. If you have monitored her plight on the council, you would know this. Why in heavens name would she tell Sackley and an unfriendly council such a personal thing? If she had, Sackley may have used this against her to get his pal Cory Bailes re-elected.
Complete waste of time. You won nothing. Cops have to follow State law. This ordinance is not worth a thing.

This guide has been designed for scholars who are researching Rabindranath Tagore's life and works. To commemorate Tagore's contribution to education and social progress, UIUC organizes Tagore Festival each year. This LibGuide has been prepared as part of the Tagore Festival 2013, being organized at UIUC in December 2013.
This LibGuide is a curation of Tagore's works as a poet, painter, educator and philosopher. His major works in Bengali and in-translation have been hand-picked for those scholars who would like to introduce themselves to the vast collection of his works, available at UIUC.
Rabindranath Tagore
Rabindranath Tagore (7 May 1861 – 7 August 1941) was a poet, artist, educator, philosopher and humanitarian. Even though he often introduced himself as "Āmi Kobi," or "I'm a poet," he contributed extensively to various genres of writing, such as novels, short stories, plays, dance-dramas and essays. He also composed roughly 2,230 songs. His writings address a variety of topics. In 1913 he became the first non-European to receive the Nobel Prize for literature. In 1915, he was knighted by the George V, King of the United Kingdom and Emperor of India, but he later renounced the knighthood as a protest against the 1919 Jaliānwala Bāgh massacre. His songs, Jana Gana Mana and Amar Śonar Bangla, later became the national anthems for India and Bangladesh respectively.

For the second time this year, Washington's Governor Chris Gregoire has had the honor of advancing civil rights with her mighty pen. Governor Gregoire has been a steadfast ally. Here is what she said when the House passed SB 5688, the Domestic Partnership Expansion Bill of 2009:
"I want to thank the legislators who worked tirelessly to get this bill passed in the House. This legislation will expand basic benefits, provide better financial security and ensure equal treatment for domestic partners living in Washington state. Our state is one that thrives on diversity. We have to respect and protect all families that make up our communities."
Thank you Governor Gregoire, Equal Rights Washington and 92 fair-minded representatives and senators (out of 146) for making this happen! Over 5,300 domestic partnerships had been filed since July, 2007.
The question remains when the bill will take effect. Because Oregonian Gary Randall and & his bumbling Washington operative Larry Stickney are proceeding with their
cash cow fools errand of a ReferenDUMB, the law will remain in limbo until they fail to return enough valid signatures by the deadline of July 25th.
And speaking of cash cow, although Gary and Larry have finally announced the new PAC they've set up to receive funds dedicated to Referendum 71, Gary the ole pickpocket is STILL encouraging people to give to his personal PAC in his blog posts about Ref. 71. Tsk tsk, Gary. Your actions might lead some to think you're not on the up and up. Oh, and I checked the Public Disclosure Commission's website today. Your PAC balance is at $95.51, the last contribution reported was $20 back on January 29th. Either you're failing to report monthly as you're supposed to, or everyone sees through your schtick and refuses to throw their pearls before swine. Which is it, Gary?
One final thing. This is what happens when you put someone like Larry Stickney in charge of, well, anything:
The Protect Marriage Washington online donor system will be functional very soon. Those who would like to donate directly to the Referendum 71 signature gathering campaign are encouraged to do so by mailing a check
So let me get this straight. The system set up to officially receive funds to fight this terrible scourge isn't ready yet? It's not like they haven't been planning for this moment for months. Larry Stickney: FAILURE. Maybe Larry has been too preoccupied with a bigger cash cow to "protect marriage". He's John Koster's campaign manager (yes, the very guy Larry boasts helping lose on his resume!). Larry has already been paid $16,326.38 this year in salary and consulting fees from Koster's campaign. Follow the money to where Larry's heart and attentions really are?
Well, that's what happens when you hand the reigns to a guy who touts campaign FAILURES on his resume. Is it any wonder that "key" member of the Crumbling Coalition of Fanatical Fringe, Cindy Honcoop of the WA Eagle Forum, chose at this pivotal moment to go on vacation?
# Leaving Memphis via Jim Neely's Interstate Barbecue for one last Memphis rib fest. Going thru stacks of napkins! about 20 hours ago from web
# On Beale Steet in Memphis tonite at BB Kings enjoying blues and barbecue. Ya gotta love Memphis in May! 9:49 PM May 16th from web
# Totally in vacation mode now. At the airport ready to board. 7:15 AM May 15th from web
So stay tuned folks, and drop a few bucks in ERW's tip jar. Gary's referenDUMB may be shoddily run and ill-advised given recent polling results in both Washington and the nation, but it can't be ignored. It takes resources to ensure failure of even a referenDUMB.

Beyond helping cement Newt Gingrich as the "true conservative" in the field, what impact would Herman Cain's reported endorsement have on the race?
Cain's support has dwindled too much to really matter in New Hampshire and Iowa, but he still remains strong in Florida and South Carolina – two states where Gingrich already has a wide lead on Romney. But certainly this endorsement would still be a nice get for Gingrich:
Speculation is focused on Newt Gingrich, who like Cain hails from Georgia and who was the most effusive of all the Republican hopefuls in praising Cain after the announcement Saturday that he was suspending his campaign. …
A Gingrich spokesman said no endorsement from Cain is expected Monday — despite a report by an Atlanta television station Sunday night saying that one was forthcoming.
A Cain aide described Gingrich and Cain as "good friends," dating back to Gingrich's days as Speaker of the House and Cain's time at the helm of the National Restaurant Association. The aide said an "endorsement announcement is coming soon," but also declined to say precisely when — or to discuss who Cain, the former CEO of Godfather's Pizza, might back.
That's also assuming Cain's supporters will still respect him enough to be influenced by the endorsement. It's easy to see how the circumstances of Cain's exit could disillusion his supporters: Not only did he drag out his wife to defend him against sexual harassment charges, he also fundraised off of the whole debacle. If he knew a story like Ginger White's could come out and torpedo his campaign, why would he ask supporters to send him money after the Politico allegations broke? And why would Cain push his wife out into the media to defend his integrity, when he knew full well he was keeping secrets from her?
Now that Cain's suspending his campaign, Rich Lowry rightfully calls on him to return the money to backers who gave it in good faith. If he wants any chance of holding onto the respect of his supporters, he should do so immediately.

We dropped by for a Korean barbecue dinner at Kim Chi Restaurant, located opposite The Copthrone Hotel in Tanjung Bungah, Penang. This restaurant is converted from a double storey semi-d house.
We had the barbeque pork and a steaming hot pot of Ginseng Chicken Soup. The former comes with an assortment of "banchan", small side dishes of kimchi, pickled vegetables, tofu, bean sprout, brinjal, egg and bean paste.
There is also a plate of lettuce leaves and perilla leaves to wrap the barbeque meat. The perilla leaf which belongs to the mint family has a fresh aroma and is not easily found in Malaysia. The owner planted many of this herb in her garden.
The plate of marinated meat is a big serving. The waiter offers to grill the meat for us but we rather to do it ourselves. It is kind of hands-on fun grilling the meat and wrapping them with the leaves spread with bean paste. Tong and scissor is provided for flipping and cutting the meat. Sightly spicy, the meat goes wonderfully well with the leaves.
We also had the Ginseng Chicken Soup served in an earthen pot with a whole chicken. Glutinous rice, dates, and ginseng are stuffed inside the chicken and boiled until just tender and not overcooked. We had a serving of the soup with some sticky glutinous rice and chicken.
No Korean meal is complete without the dessert of watermelon. Each of us is served with a slice of this fruit besides a cold sweet rice drink (its free).
The decoration of the restaurant is simple but the food and service made up for it. The barbeque meat and the soup are both good. At the moment, they are having the set lunch promotion too…. maybe we will drop by for lunch.

Tokidoki Royal Pride Hercolino Palette Review, Swatches, Photos
As you know the TokoDoki Cromatico Eyeshadow Palettes have gone on clearance at Sephora (Yay for makeup on sale). As cute as these are I didn't really love them as much as I do the newer limited edition Cromatico Palettes that Sephora has started doing.
Let's break it down….
The original palettes featured four shades of shadow, a charm, and a smaller cube packaging. The newer palettes feature six shades of shadow, a smaller charm, and a larger cardboard style packaging.
Although bigger in size, I find the new Cromatico Palettes cuter plus I actually like the addition of two more shades of shadow.
Which do you prefer?
Old version or new?
For Fall 2011 the Tokidoki Royal Pride Hercolino Palette takes to the jungle for a safari adventure in the rough and tough terrain.

top 5 drummers? Hard to say. After not playing for years, I stopped listening to music for the drums and now tend to appreciate more of a total band groove... a lot of the downbeat electronic stuff doesn't have much of anyone. But if pressed..
John Moen (Decemberists)
Bill Bruford ca. 1973-1975
Joe Morello - I could listen to Brubeck @ Carnegie Hall & be totally satisfied.
Carl Turney (Clinic)
But 99% of what I listen to is Air, Royksopp, Zero 7, electrelane, a bunch of stuff that's totally not drum music.

how did you start drumming? I wanted to play back when I was in grade school, got my first pair of sticks and a snare drum and started practicing while I had a broken arm. Then played in the school band & took lessons.

Re: Introduce Yourself
Hi Folks
Well... I guess it's time to do the "erk!" part and intro myself. I used to play the drums in the '70s (just good old pop at weddings, parties and functions etc.). My home was South Africa and my Yamaha kit went around the country. Gave it all up for 30 years but the "pull" to drum is in the soul. Now, at the ripe old age you see below, I've started up again. Been drumming for 4 years now and just realised that if I want to be a better drummer than I've ever been - it's back to school for me! So - with great drumming teacher in Reading, UK, I'm ready for it!!

Re: Introduce Yourself
First of all, I'm not a drummer at all, so I'm an oddity for sure. I used to play drums and the piano, but that went out the window.
I'm primarily a graphic designer by trade and I love my job. I saw Gavin perform with Porcupine Tree this past weekend. My boyfriend got me into them. I've never heard any of their stuff before, except most people always compare them to TOOL. All I know is two of my favorite musicians worked with the band: Richard Barbieri and Alex Lifeson. It should be good, right? I was blown away. My boyfriend gave me MP3's from the album Deadwing and In Absentia. My boyfriend told me that Gavin plays with them now.
Here's a little story for all of you:
I was the former web mistress of the now defunct Moving Westward - The Official Go West Site ten years ago. Peter Cox, the lead vocalist, came out with a solo album in 1997. I promoted his album on my site. I received an email from Gavin, completely out of the blue. He was nice enough to tell me about the recording and reheasal experiences performing with Peter Cox.
Fast forward ten years later, I finally saw Gavin play live for the first time this past weekend. Weird huh?
Here is a list of my favorite drummers/percussionists:
Josh Freese
Neil Peart
Martin Atkins
Bill Bruford
Chris Vrenna
Jerome Dillon
Leonard Ito
Yoshiki Hayashi
If you're reading this Gavin, "HELLO", waves.
That's all for now folks.
Howdy Guys
Great little forum you've got going here. There is some very good information all over the place, helps kill idle hours at work :D
A little about me, I am 18 and i've been playing drums for about a year and a half. I am currently with a band native to south and central florida which plays benefit events for the Rock of Love Foundation. I currently play a Pacific FS Birch 5 piece, and soon I am looking to upgrade to a custom DW, Spaun, or possibly a PEAVEY set, as I love their products very much.

Re: Introduce Yourself
Hi everyone. My name is Tarek, I'm about to turn 19, and music is my passion! I live in a town called Boring, which is just outside of Portland, OR. I've been drumming for about 4 years now. I also play guitar and have been doing that for 5 years, and I was in choir all throughout middle and high school, which is how I got started with music. I started playing drums for somewhat of an odd reason. I played guitar in a horrible punk band in the beginnings of high school and our drummer left. We couldn't find anyone to play, so I finally said screw this, I'll play... because we had another guitarist. So I borrowed a kit from someone and taught myself to play! I sucked immaculately of course in this band, but we only played for a short time before going our seperate ways, which is when I actually started learning some technique and stepped away from the classic punk boom-chuck. I now consider drumming to be my main concentration, though I still play guitar every day of my life and I write all sorts of crazy music, ranging from jazz to acoustic to metal to idie and some grind core! I love technical music with odd times and innovative harmonies, basically I aim for creative unique music with no boundaries. If you haven't listened to them, check out Between the Buried and Me. They are phenomenal musicians who have inspired me in many ways, and if you're open minded, their music will blow you away! Anyway, I play a Pearl Masters Studio 6 ply birch 22x18 10x8 12x9 14x14 16x16 with a Yamaha brass 13x6.5 snare and mostly Paiste cymbals. I'll post pictures and stuff in the "your place" section when I get a chance. Some of my drumming influences include Danny Carey (of TOOL), Blake Richardson (of Between the Buried and Me), Josh Freese, Akira Jimbo, and many others. Anyway, I guess that's it.

If there is a repeating cycle, must there its smallest length be aprox. of size $2k$, where the algorithm is $kn\pm1$ for odd numbers?
Also, are the following diagrams meaningful?
Added: First row of "Collatz" number diagram can be seen as N, second as 2N-1, third as 3N-1
Adiition number 2: If you look at diagram a), you can see that positional value y betwen 2x in forth row and x in third row is given by formula 4y-1
2 in column 1 => 4 in column 3
5 in column 3 => 10 in column 11
. . .
14 in column 5 => 28 in column 19

Another very naive,probably stupid but do not care subquestion? Finding some solution for (3n-1)/2 is the same as solving sistem of equations with 2 uknowns. http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=2x%2B1%3D3y%2B1%2C+2y%2B1%3D%283x%2B1%29%2F2 . Look at last diagram: http://img837.imageshack.us/img837/7831/selection003x.png. Can there be some generality written?
