Taste of our own medicine.
Although the majority of my drumming is done at a rehearsal place designed for making lots of noise, there have been times when I've not been so fortunate.
I know from folks posting here that for the most part, we've all had to deal with complaints regarding how loud and annoying we can be from family, friends or neighbors.
I work in post production for a television series, we are in new offices this season and I've been blessed with having an office beside the sound effects editor. It's a cop show. Lots of gun shots, speeding cars, sirens, etc.
Although I appreciate the guy is just doing his job, it's becoming really annoying. He'll place his effects and then play the scene back over and over again, tweaking his placement and volume. In a way this really reminds me of what it must sound like listening to a drummer hashing out a difficult passage until it's perfect...
I've been listening to the same "car speeding away" effect for almost half an hour now...
Guess I'm just venting to people who may appreciate... or maybe not.
Anyone else get a taste of their own "medicine" so I don't feel so alone?
Thanks for your time.
Re: Taste of our own medicine.
We moved into a small neighborhood and I did battle with the neightbor over us playing. Although no other person in the neighborhood said they could hear us and I later found out this particular griping neighbor took turns picking fights with everyone I decided it was better to find another place to play. Within a few months of moving to this rural bump in the road, I discovered it was "stock car" hell and every other toothless redneck in this area had a loud ragged race car that they worked on all hours of the night. After calling the cops at midnight to complain several times I finally just gave up and bought a big fan to make noise to drown them all out.Thankfully we moved a few years later to a better place.
To this day when I hear a car revving up I want to grap a baseball bat and do a Buford Pusser reenactment.
Re: Taste of our own medicine.
You want a taste of your own medicine, just have kids and let them have drums!
Oh my............
Re: Taste of our own medicine.
I guess similar to when a band mate asks if they can have a wail for a while...
Re: Taste of our own medicine.
So I thought I'd show them how fun and cool they could be... didn't work. They got mad at me!
Now they're back out in the garage.
Re: Taste of our own medicine.
I'm getting him a set soon. I found a great deal on a low end Yamaha kit with a 20's bass drum, 10 and 12 rack toms with a 14" floor and matching snare.
If he doesn't stick with it, there is always the younger one.
And if neither sticks with it, I've got a great beater kit. My plan would then be to buy raw shells in the same sizes, and transfer over the hardware to the new shells, put 'em in a vintage wrap, and I can have that small vintage kit I've always wanted.
Re: Taste of our own medicine.
I can relate. My brother plays xbox shooter games (call of duty, halo) with the surround sound on. Loud and annoying.
I also worked at Guitar Center for awhile. I have never heard so many kids wailing on a china while trying to play fast double pedal and failing at it. It was horrible, I thought I was gonna explode if more person came in and said "hey man, can see some sticks?"
I didn't realize the strain I had put on my family on the days when I would pratice for hours. I try to keep it short & quite if anyone is home.
Re: Taste of our own medicine.
My only suggestion is if you're at work quit screwing around on the internet and get back to it. They are not paying you to converse on a drum forum. This is why people who work in offices will never get any professional respect from me. I know what they do for half the day and it has nothing to do with work. Qwitcher whinin' about the noise and just be happy you work in a climate controlled environment.
Re: Taste of our own medicine.
Over the years I have worked both sides of the fence. They both have their headaches and stress. I work a job where I split my time half behind a desk and the other half in the field getting my hands dirty. I can say I have seen non-office people doing their fair share of goofing off too. When someone says someone else has an easier job I say go out and get a job like him if your are that worried about it.
Re: Taste of our own medicine.
well, you could just get all arogent and say, "I am creating beautiful music, you should be thankful you get to listen for free"
see how that slides

I live in Abu Dhabi and our apartment building is surrounded by construction sites on all four sides! Within 100 meters, there are 6 different projects including 3 major roadworks and three 30+ floor buildings being built.
In the photo you can see the first project where a small crane identified by the red box. The second project is in the middle of the photo. The third project is in the upper right corner lit in green lights. As you can see, two of these projects are active in the evening.
Within 300 meters, there are another 3 major construction projects. The noise bylaw allows construction between 0500 and 2300 hrs. We are looking to move. C'est la vie.

Re: Taste of our own medicine.
Working in a drum shop would be painful at times, I find sometimes even just popping into get sticks gets annoying. Especially the guys on e-kits where the only noise you hear is whap, whap, whap!
I feel you on this too - 2 condos going up on my block, 2 across the street and an entire multi-acre development in my backyard. Fortunately, they are finished work for the day by the time I get home.
Okay, gotta run for now, my boss just made a move in our online Scrabble game... we're playing for who has to buy the beer on Friday afternoon, I have to pay attention...
Re: Taste of our own medicine.
I am blessed with a admirable trait. I can easily tune out anything I don't like. This includes all sounds and certain people talking directly to me.

A thought ran through my mind when I saw this suggested Valentine's Day message to a loved one: "If i cud be anything i wud b ur tears! So that i cud b born in ur eyes, live down ur cheeks and die on ur lips!"What I thought was I was suddenly happy that I'd never figured out how to send a text message, especially in dreaded iambic pellagra verse, from my cell phone. As a matter of fact, I can do exactly two things with the quasi-ancient hand-me-down cell phone that I inherited from my youngest son, Justin. No. 1, I can answer it. No. 2, I can call out on it. There was an outside shot at mastering a No. 3 - changing the ring tone - but, truth be known, an unsuccessful stab at call-waiting was what led to my phone playing out an annoying rendition of "Camptown Races," of all things, whenever anyone called. That malady persisted until I tried to program in my home phone number, which didn't work either, except that somehow my regular, nondescript ring tone was restored. I'd been somewhat embarrassed about my utter failure to grasp this technology until I checked into some examples of the messages that people send with their phones and decided it could quite possibly loosen a person's overall grasp of the English language. Take "the," possibly the most used word in English and a favorite launching point for countless student essays. When you text somebody, you type "da" instead of the. Except "you" don't type da. "U" type da. N fac, dats how u spel da 2da. But there's no denying the growing popularity of texting, if that's a word. I've seen a couple of surveys, mostly by companies with an interest in cell phones, that point out that texting is becoming a favorite way of sending out Valentine's Day greetings. One poll said that 80 percent of texters sent out flirty messages in the past year, and 60 percent of texters will be send flirty Valentine's messages this week to people who aren't their spouses or significant others, an act generally known as "keeping your options open." And 78 percent of the people surveyed by one mobile phone company said they wouldn't be offended if they got a texted Valentine in lieu of a card or flowers, findings which, I would venture to guess, probably conflict horribly with the results of surveys conducted by most companies that push flowers and cards. The chocolate industry wasn't mentioned, since nobody wants to tackle that V-Day juggernaut. And, lest someone make light of your heartfelt poetry that can downloaded from various Web sites, you can send Valentine's messages anonymously, which, no doubt, keeps even more options open, specifically the one to run and hide, which u wud text as da 1 2 r&h. The sad thing is that regardless of its popularity, no technology is foolproof, nor is it forbidden to those who, from time to time, do foolish things. One of the surveys found that up to 25 percent of the texters have sent messages to the wrong people, especially when they've been texting while drinking, another activity that's notorious for inspiring bad rhymes, specifically the ones scribbled on the stalls in men's restroom. That means you run the very real risk of having your boss or clergy look at his or her phone on Valentine's Day and read: "I love u with my heart, my body•soul, this love 4 u i can not control, da game aint over its just begun, i'll keep on playin coz i no ur da one." Tell me that won't get you mentioned prominently in the company newsletter or next Sunday's church bulletin. Besides inspiring you to type poetry that wouldn't even qualify for third stall consideration, I'm convinced that texting is dangerous to the health of the cell phone itself. I say this because I've never texted anybody and my old one's still going strong, like a pink battery-powered rabbit. My monthly cell phone bill, however, indicates that our son texts with the frequency of a cheap ham radio. He called from college the other day to announce that his phone, which he's had less than two years, is, sadly, on its last legs. May it RIP. I told him we'd see about it - L8R.

What should I do before I apply?
Contact our office to discuss the details of your particular business operation. Inquire about city zoning requirements for your type of business and its planned location.

Please click here to download a business license application or you may also contact our office at (714) 765-5194 so we can mail, fax or email you an application.
What information is needed in order to complete the application?
Please read the application thoroughly. All sections of the application must be completed. It is important to be specific in your business description. Include the starting date at this location.

What if my business is home-based?
Every business conducted from a home in the City of Anaheim must have BOTH a city business license and a home occupation permit. Home occupation permits are obtained from the Planning Department. The home occupation permit must be submitted with your business license application. The Planning Department will review the type of business you are conducting to ensure that it is allowed within a residential area and will not impact the surrounding neighborhood.

Any business which operates without first obtaining a Business License or which fails to pay a renewal shall pay a penalty of 10% or $10.00, whichever is greater, for each month delinquent, and an additional amount equal to one and one-half percent (1-1/2%) thereof per month calculated from the first day of delinquency to the date of payment.

Once you have obtained a license, which is valid for one (1) year, a renewal will automatically be forwarded to you thirty (30) days before your expiration date. If you do not receive a renewal notice, please contact the Business License Office. Failure to receive a renewal notice does not relieve the business owner of his/her responsibility to renew the business license.
What if I sell my business?
A business license is not transferable. The license is terminated when business ownership changes. Advise the Business License Office should you sell your business for any reason. The new owner will be responsible for obtaining his/her own business license.

The completed application must be returned with a $32.00 processing fee if the license is current.

Do I need to display my business license?
All business licenses must be displayed on the premises. For those businesses not having a fixed address, the license must be physically carried on the person while conducting business and presented upon request.

We want your business to be successful and hope that this information has been helpful.

Just in time for the holidays. Do you know someone who loves Apple and its many products? These gifts might just do the trick.
If that special someone owns a iPad or an iPad mini, why not buy them a iPad smart cover? The cover not only protects the screen from damage but when lifted, automatically turns your iPad's display on. How did Apple manage to make magnets and electronics work together? I have no clue, but this is a must have for any iPad owner. I do have some personal experience with this item and from what I can tell it is flawless. Works every time. The silicone that covers the magnets is perfect for protection and grip.
BookBook for iPhone or iPad ($60-$70)
This cover fits the iPhone 4/4S and comes in the iPad's size too. It is a great gift for the hipster in your family. The cover's inside not only holds your iPhone, but also your license, credit cards, and cash.
This sleeve for the 13" Macbook Pro not only looks great, it's also functional. Not only does the sleeve hold your Macbook Pro, it can also hold your work papers, earplugs, or even your iPhone.
You just got a new iPhone 5 for the holidays. Later that day you drop it and the screen breaks. With the otterbox your iPhone could have been protected. The commuter is the perfect case for the iPhone 5. I know from personal experience that the otterbox is perfect. I've dropped my iPod touch many times and never had a problem with it.

{Guest} S W Tanpepper
The Undead Meet High-Tech in S.W. Tanpepper's GAMELAND
Without a doubt, the cold undead are hot commodities right now. Zombie Walks are scheduled from coast to coast, often in conjunction with apocalyptic conventions. The Walking Dead series is hugely popular on television and zombie literature is enjoying a wave of immense popularity. A quick look at GoodReads and you'll find a half dozen very active zombie groups, not to mention a couple dozen more where zombies and their fans have infiltrated.
What's all the fuss about?
How many different ways could there be to tell a story where the main characters try to avoid being eaten by their once-living brethren? Apparently, quite a lot. The reason is because zombies aren't simply antagonists. They aren't Lex Luthers or Voldemorts or Magnetos. Most zombies do not have special powers or strengths or speed. They're actually kinda dumb and slow. And stinky. They don't glisten in the sunlight, so they don't make for good romance stories. Usually.
Zombies are inherently metaphoric.
Even without special powers, the Undead still somehow find a way to represent any of the seven classic plot antagonists. They are symbols of man's struggles against himself and nature; against science and the supernatural; against religion, man, and environment. Perhaps it is because of their lack of defining attributes that make them such a powerful and adaptable antagonist.
GAMELAND is about societal, economic, technological and governmental developments.
Science is not inherently evil. I know this because before writing fiction, I was a geneticist. I helped develop new viruses and new medicines to better the human condition. But the power scientists can wield is immense and could be easily abused. When I wrote the short horror story Gologtha (which ended up becoming the prequel to the world of GAMELAND), I set out to tell a simple tale of scientific research gone horribly awry, both intentionally and accidentally. Science, hand in hand with the military, created the Undead. Science, with the best intentions of Mankind in mind, only made the situation worse. Thankfully, we live in a world where these things are highly unlikely to come to pass.
Out of Golgotha came GAMELAND. It's fifteen years later and Jessie, the daughter of the man who helped create zombies, finds herself in the dubious company of other young computer gamers and hackers. They reside on the fringes of society by virtue of their economic status (and, in Jessie's case, the destruction of her family and its reputation), fringes that are, ironically, comprised of the majority of the country's population. Can we say 99%? Oh, and the country itself has become fractured, broken apart because of disagreements between States on how to utilize the Undead to make life easier for the living.
Long Island has been long abandoned to the Undead after an outbreak there forced a rapid evacuation thirteen years earlier. The disease is tenuously managed and the Infected controlled by mandatory neural implants, which everyone receives while still alive. Life expectancy is regulated and capped, and taxes are minimized because zombies have been pressed into civil and military service.
Along comes Arc Properties, a megalithic corporation with their hands in everything from biotech to high tech and the government. They've built a gaming arcade on Long Island called Gameland, and the rich and privileged get to "buy" zombie Players to act out their primal violent fantasies, which the underprivileged get to witness second-hand. Entertainment is big money, and nothing raises ratings better than violence. Jessie and her gang decide to break in, and Arc doesn't want them to leave.
What ensues is a dark drama that will eventually be played out on a world stage, but for the kids, surviving is all that matters. In the course of trying to escape, they struggle against each other, against their inner demons, against ideologies and societal complacencies. They battle the natural environment. And, of course, they battle the Undead. Yes, there is gore, but it's not featured as it is in most zombie survival stories. Gore is not what this story is about. It's about characters living in a world where values have all gone to whack and hope becomes the only currency left to spend.
Eight episodes
Given the epic scale of the story and the necessity for "room" to develop the many themes and characters occupying it, I chose to serialize the book. This current story arc (season?) begins with the group deciding to break into Long Island and will end with their final escape. Not all of them will survive, however; and not all of their motivations will be revealed. Along the way, they'll learn a lot about themselves and the world, and, hopefully, so will GAMELAND's readers. One new episode will be published on the first of each month from May thru December 2012.
Series description:
Six young tech-savvy gamers and hackers break into Long Island's Gameland, a militarized wasteland abandoned for years to the Infected Undead. The island is in the process of being reclaimed by a government-backed company hoping to profit by creating a reality survival gaming arena using neurologically-controlled zombies. But while breaking into The Game turns out to be a lot easier than they could ever have imagined, breaking out is one hell of a killer.
[NB: a free sneak peek at the entire series is located here: http://www.tanpepperwrites.com/gameland-sneak-peek.html]
Deep Into The Game (Episode 1; ~50K words)
Jessie and her gang of game jackers discover a way to break into Gameland, but it requires the assistance of an outsider whose inclusion raises tensions within the group, particularly between Jessie and her boyfriend, Kelly. After a nearly-fatal accident during preparation, emotions run dangerously high, but they stubbornly push on. What they don't know is that one of them has a secret reason for going, and it doesn't involve any of them returning any time soon.
Failsafe (Episode 2; ~50K words)
Jessie and Kelly clash after one of their group gets stranded among the Infected Undead, forcing Kelly to make a rash decision which will ultimately deliver them into the hands of those who would turn them all into mindless players in The Game.
Deadman's Switch (Episode 3; ~52K words)
Unable to escape from Long Island because of the failsafe device implanted inside their brains, the group digs in until they can devise a way to neutralize it. Jessie is anointed as their leader despite Jake's claims that she is unfit. A final desperate attempt is made to leave, setting into motion a sequence of events that will result in one of them dead, another infected, and all of them running for their lives.
Sunder the Hollow Ones (Episode 4; release 1 August 2012)
Four members of the group attempt to break into the Arc mainframe in Gameland following a mutiny that leaves them all physically and emotionally torn apart. Jessie becomes haunted by memories of her father's death, and it's only by the grace of a new friend and her own inner strength that she is able to lay some of her fears to rest.
Author Bio
Saul spent his formative years in a leaky hundred-year-old house overlooking the Erie Canal in Upstate New York. His bedroom was a refurbished attic, which he shared with all manner of creatures, not all, he is convinced, entirely flesh and blood.
After bouncing around the US and Europe for several years, he settled down to pursue a career in the sciences, opting to study the mysteries of human molecular genetics. But despite success in research, as a teacher, manager and biotech entrepreneur, he eventually returned to his true passion of writing speculative fiction.
He now writes full time from his home in the San Francisco Bay Area. He continues to be haunted by a variety of creatures, including a wife, kids, four dogs, three cats, six chickens, a wayward rooster, and one very grumpy possum. They are all flesh and blood.
Except, maybe, for the possum, which he's convinced is the reincarnated spirit of Jack Torrance.

Angelika loses arbitration
The Angelika Film Center, an indie theater that once called downtown Houston home, lost a dispute with its landlord in arbitration. In late March court filings, the theater's former landlord, Bayou Place Limited Partnership, asked the court to affirm an arbitration award of $80,371.38, plus legal fees. The theater abruptly shuttered in 2010 over a lease dispute. At […] [Read More]

|Live Life Everyday; The Mountain Buggy story began in 1992 when a New Zealand couple set out to create a new kind of pushchair. They needed a pram that would cope with the rigours of their active outdoor lifestyle and allow them to go anywhere with their kids. In a case of true Kiwi ingenuity, the fitness fanatical parents designed a stroller that could go off-road in all sorts of environments, without compromising the safety of the child. They called their invention the Terrain and the first Mountain Buggy was born.
Parents soon discovered that what made the Mountain Buggy perform so well in the wilderness – its sturdy construction, lightweight frame and maneuverability - also made it perfect for the city. Soon it had become the baby stroller most recommended by New Zealand moms, and it wasn't long before the rest of the world learned about the buggy that enables you to take your baby anywhere and everywhere.
The brainchild of a few creative Kiwis, Mountain Buggy strollers are still made in New Zealand and exported around the world.

"They're always looking for the weakest point, to manipulate a system or individual."
As such, there's really no bias toward
high-tech or low-tech identity theft. In fact, identity
thieves are more likely to be insiders than sophisticated
hackers. In a recent study, more than 30 percent of
the cases evaluated by CIMIP began with an employee
stealing information from their employer.
"There are really a lot of different
ways that identity thieves can work," says Gartner's
Litan. "They can be high-tech crimes, directly
against consumers, through phishing
or malware
attacks. We've seen a big increase in those."
"Or they can be attacks against systems that house the data, like retailers or processors, where external hackers take the data -- we saw that with TJX and CardSystems."
It can also be a partial insider job. "Some cases are collusions or insiders at banks or other businesses that deal with sensitive information that take it and sell it to the black market," Litan says. "Others involve contractors that get in through privileged accounts, whether it's at retail systems or bank systems. There's a big increase in that. We call it 'partial insider.'"
As part of their study, every year Javelin asks victims of identity theft how thieves got their information.
"There are data breaches which make up just a few percentage points of the fraud in our study," Van Dyke says. "And then there are the people that are on the Internet. If you combine all the sources, from online shopping to banking to someone hacking into your PC, it makes up about 10 (percent) to 12 percent."
Despite the reputation for being repositories of oodles of info, Dumpster diving happens less often than you may think.
"Trash cans make up almost no crime at all," says Van Dyke. "We no longer even ask people if their data was taken from the trash because only 1 percent of people said that's how their information was taken."
Then again, how would someone pinpoint a Dumpster in the alley as the scene of the crime?
Consumers should resist blithely tossing out credit card statements and scraps of paper emblazoned with Social Security numbers. Javelin recommends that consumers invest in a shredder or take some care with sensitive documents that get thrown out. It's just not at the top of their list, says Van Dyke.
One receptacle to worry about more than the trash: the mailbox.
"The mail always makes up about 6 (percent) to 9 percent," Van Dyke says.
But consumers shouldn't confine their concerns to the criminals lurking outside the post office or behind a computer. In some instances, victims are the architects of their own undoing.
The Javelin study found that most often, consumers lose a wallet or a checkbook which leads to fraud of some kind.
"That's the largest category -- in the 30 percent range," says Van Dyke.
Other common sources of data theft are
friends and family. "People that are close to
the victim make up a significant portion of crime,
mostly among lower-income (individuals) because they
tend to live in areas of higher crime and don't have
the financial education to minimize their losses,"
says Van Dyke.

SALIDA, Colo. (AP) Five hikers were killed by a rock slide on a trail in south-central Colorado on Monday, and another was pulled out with injuries and flown to a hospital, authorities said.
The Chaffee County Sheriff's Department confirmed the deaths and said recovery would wait until Tuesday to make sure the area is safe.
The slide occurred at about 11 a.m. on the trail to Agnes Vaille falls in the Pike and San Isabel National Forest, an easy day hike about a 2 1/2 hour drive southwest of Denver.
A 13-year-old girl who survived the slide was flown to a hospital in Denver for treatment. There was no immediate identification of the victims.

Downtown Johnson City
Anchor tenants typically are large businesses with name recognition that will likely drive enough foot traffic to an area to make smaller businesses want to locate nearby.
They're important for malls, shopping centers and downtown revitalization projects alike because without a reliable anchor, smaller storefronts will remain vacant and revenues will be unrealized.
For years, the names of recognizable regional retailers, like western North Carolina's Mast General Store, have been whispered from Market to Main as possible magnets that could provide the boost needed to fill out downtown Johnson City's darkened shops.
But Washington County Economic Development Council CEO Mitch Miller said the students from Northeast State Community College's downtown site — expected to open in fall 2014 — tenants in Paxton Place and other residential developments and workers in commercial office buildings could produce the desired anchor effect.
"Downtown has been really successful with the restaurants, and that's a key that's going to propel us moving forward," Miller said Thursday. "As far as having an anchor tenant, I think we've got it, I think we've got the making of some good things happening.
"Northeast State is going to be a huge anchor," he continued. "It takes time, but once they're in place and you have that foot traffic, you'll get more attention from the retail side of things."
Miller said a big-name retailer like Mast General Store would be a great addition to the landscape, but said the current focus is on securing corporate office tenants.
"Having folks down here working who are going to go to these shops, that are going to buy lunch, that's the income you really want to have down here, and I think the corporate office climate is probably one of the more important ones," he said. "Those are the people you need down here to get other businesses coming in."
Shannon Castillo, the WCEDC's redevelopment director, said another factor that will draw tenants is Johnson City's willingness to invest in downtown.
"There are a lot of puzzle pieces that need to come into play and certainly one of those puzzle pieces is public infrastructure and public investment, and we're getting that," she said. "If you look at the changes to Buffalo Street and Founders Park and the streetscape investments the city's making, then look right across the road where Tupelo Honey is making a huge investment at the depot. That's showing that if the city shows a commitment to downtown then the private investment will follow."
Miller agreed, but said it's also the job of the economic developer to actively market the progress taking shape downtown to corporate tenants.
"It's on us too to showcase those opportunities and get those folks to the table," she said. "We're working on some things, and I think there's high likelihood that it could happen."
WCEDC Director of Marketing and Community Relations Jeff Keeling said the student body of East Tennessee State University is a vast untapped resource for potential downtown customers, pointing to the success of Boone, N.C., Asheville, N.C., and other towns with schools near their cores.
"There are 15,000 people just down the road at ETSU," he said. "Fortunately, the president of the university has been very committed to being a factor downtown, so that's just another piece of the puzzle."
"That's one thing that really excites me," Miller agreed. "Everything from bringing football back, with the Bucs branching out and going to Freedom Hall — (ETSU President) Dr. (Brian) Noland can dream big, he can make things happen. Downtown — he's said it numerous times — is so important for the growth of ETSU. He's going to be very instrumental in having us attain this development."
The walkway along State of Franklin Road linking ETSU with the businesses downtown will soon be completed, but Miller said another potential pedestrian corridor is the less trafficked West Walnut Street.
"State of Franklin is always going to be meant for cars, but Walnut can be so much more," he said. "It can be that avenue for pedestrian traffic that can be so vital to getting that link with ETSU."
But Miller said those projects are likely far off in the future. For the time being, though, the pieces seem to be falling into place.
"It's just time, effort, money, and a lot of that has to come into place," he said. "With Tupelo opening up and Northeast State opening up, somebody's going to see opportunity, I believe it."

Tiger Woods vs. Stevie Wonder!
Submitted by boloo2 on Tue, 08/12/2008 - 14:47.
Tiger is impressed, and Stevie suggests that they play a round.
At a celebrity party, Stevie Wonder meets golf champ Tiger Woods and mentions that he, too, is an excellent golfer.
Tiger is a bit skeptical that the blind musician can play golf well, but he's too polite to say anything.
"When I tee off, " the singer explains, "I have a guy call to me from the green. My sharp sense of hearing lets me aim."
Tiger is impressed, and Stevie suggests that they play a round.
When Tiger agrees, Stevie asks, "How about if we play for $100,000?"
Tiger insists he couldn't possibly play him for money because of his sight handicap.
But Stevie argues and badgers Tiger until Tiger finally relents and says, "OK, it's your money... when do you want to play?"
Stevie replies, "I'll play on any NIGHT you choose!"

The one blog reader you should never date
So the year 2011 was full of new opportunities for me. And one of those opportunities involved getting back into the world of dating. And sometimes that "dating" involves meeting people who read my blog. But there was one blog reader I dated – just once – and I couldn't tell if she really liked […] [Read More]
TV Cliche #45: They're not the Monkees… but they're trying to be.
Back in the 1960's, NBC aired The Monkees for two seasons. The knockabout adventures of Peter Tork, Micky Dolenz, Davy Jones and Michael Nesmith were fun to watch, the group sold a gazillion record albums and 45's, and the show even won an Emmy Award or two. And ever since then, networks have tried to […] [Read More]
K-Chuck Radio: In defense of "Stairway to Heaven"
In today's Arts blog, Michael Janairo notes that although the classic Led Zeppelin song "Stairway to Heaven" has reached four decades of radio airplay, there are some who would wish the song would fade out of existence. How can anyone say that Led Zeppelin's classic has been overdone? I mean really, let's devote a K-Chuck […] [Read More]

And here on K-Chuck Radio, we're taking the […] [Read More]

Supporting Historic Albany Foundation's "BUILT" Silent Auction
A few weeks ago, when I dropped off some rolls of film to McGreevy Pro Lab for developing, the clerk at McGreevy, fellow photographer Joe Putrock, asked if I had considered entering anything into Historic Albany Foundation's "BUILT" silent auction and art show.

Although I'm not as big a NASCAR fan as I once was, I do enjoy watching the races from time to time – mostly preferring the short-tracks like Bristol and Martinsville and Dover rather than the super-speedways like Talladega or Daytona (although I do have an affinity for Darlington in the superspeedway department, how cool […] [Read More]

The Best Offense is a Good Hamburger
March 26, 2013
Sure, there's a backlit menu board at the counter where you order your burgers. Yes, you squirt your own ketchup and mustard into little plastic condiment cups that you bring back to your table.
But Shula Burger may be the only fast-casual burger joint to offer real flatware, wine by the glass (including very good La Crema pinot noir for $9.25) and pints of craft draft beer ($3.75-$4.50).

30 Things Every Traveler Must Do Before They're 30 - Page 3
|New York City skyline, New York (iStockphoto)
21. Visit a neighbor to our north or south.
There's a hall pass to be had for out of the continent, but by 30 you should have crossed at least one landlocked border.
22. Do something so adventurous that it requires a doctor's visit.
Whether it requires a series of preventative vaccines before or a cast/splint/cream after, the goal here is that the adventure at hand was so extreme that you need to seek the advice of a trained professional.
23. Save pennies to go somewhere you really want to go.
It doesn't have to be extravagant, but you should have to work for it.
24. Go to
New York City.
Eat a slice of pizza, stand in the middle of Times Square, and ride the Subway to somewhere, anywhere. This trip is made even better if you can't afford a decent hotel and book a hostel instead.
25. Sleep under the stars.
In your backyard, in a tent on safari in Kenya, or in the camping pit of an organized event—be extra proud if your experience was made significantly more successful by a can of bug spray.
26. Eat an iconic city meal.
Options include a cheesesteak in Philly, clam chowder in Boston, deep-dish pizza in Chicago, crabs in Baltimore, gumbo in New Orleans, BBQ in Memphis, and a beer in Milwaukee.
27. Know all of the best places to take tourists in your home city.
Philly's LOVE Park may be just a point of congestion to locals, but trust me, your mother will love it.
28. Have one close encounter with a wild animal.
If this means you don a wetsuit and slip into a tank with dolphins, so be it. But let's aim for something in the wild if at all possible.
29. Parachute out of something that is working perfectly fine, for no legitimate reason.
The obvious choose here is an airplane, but I'll accept others as long as they're moving.
30. Know a dance well enough that you could keep up with the locals.
Tango with Argentinians, Salsa with Cubans, Kathak in India, do a jig with the Irish, or line dance in Kansas.
Covered them all? Have a list of your own? Think we're missing a crucial one? Give us your thoughts in the comments section here.

(Memphis) A picture shows the Father of the Blues, W.C. Handy, at the opening of the theater that bares his name and a recording of his voice lets you hear his pride when talking about what Memphis had done to honor him.
"And it has built for $200,000 W.C. Handy Theater and to do so many things that make me feel I've been rewarded in more ways than one," Handy said in a recording.
The W.C. Handy Theater was built-in 1946 on Park near Airways for the black community during segregation.
It became the showcase for entertainers such as Count Basie, Duke Ellington and the Memphis R&B band the Bar-Kays.
Elaine Turner is director of the W.C. Handy House and Museum on Beale Street, "It was a place that was opened to all of the African-American community, the children in the neighborhood, the professionals. Everybody went to the Handy Theater."
Years later, the Handy Theater closed when newer venues were built and it was left abandoned.
Dr. Charles Pinkston's dental office is just across the street from the theater. He wants it torn down, "The emotions that I have, I think it's overdue and we're glad to see it in a way come down. It has no value now. It's an eyesore."
Memphis City Councilwoman Wanda Halbert represents the Orange Mound area, "I started getting complaints about this location. Now don't get it wrong, Orange Mound truly valued what Handy Theater represented and all the entertainment that was showcased in this particular area."
The city will soon use bulldozers to demolished the Handy Theater.
Memphis Mayor A C Wharton admits it wasn't an easy decision considering its history, but one that was in the best interest for the community, "We get it down and there will be new commerce on this spot, property values as a whole will go up once we reclaim this significant site. It's mixed emotions, but in the end it is for the good."
Still, historians such as Elaine Turner say it leaves them with the blues, "When we demolish our history, we're tearing down a piece of our past and Memphis is known as the Home of the Blues because of W.C. Handy."
Demolition is scheduled to begin over the next few days.
The project and debris removal is expected to take about six weeks.

Partagas Black Label Piramide Reviews
write your own review
The tast is wonderfull and smooth. The burn is sometimes a bit inconsistant. The burn is solid. Overall it is one of the best full body cigars. I particularly like those ring sizes. Adds a lot of flavor. Give it a try. I don't think you'd be disappointed.
Disappointing effort from a usually outstanding line of cigars. A powerful cigar that was extremely one-dimensional. A nice draw considering the burn was less than perfect. Only tried one that had at least six months in my humidor. Who knows...just might of been an isolated clunker. Will give it another try considering the Partagas reputation.
This cigar is one I keep coming back to. The appearance, taste, and construction are excellent. The burn and especially the draw, however, are poor. Canoeing is a problem and requires constant touching up. The draw is very very tight - almost to the point of un-smokeable. Running a poker through the cigar helps loosen up the draw, but often leads to splitting the wrapper and worsens the canoeing problem.
One of the best strong sticks you'll find. This cigar is mellow with a kick in the last third portion. I call it this sweet spot. I love hitting the sweet spot on the Partagas.
For the price these are a bargin! I love the rich oily wrapper - and the longer you let it age the smoother it is. I love to smoke the ones I have 2 - 3 years after I purchase them on a hot humid day - you get blue smoke from the wrapper!!
They need time in the Humidor, then are best
If you really like madurosm this is one not to be missed. It is reasonably priced, well constructed and even looks great with a shiney, almost black wrapper. It's loaded with flavor with hints of chocolate and leather. I'm surprised it doesn't have a 90 rating.
Sometimes I wonder about these people who give review and don't even know what the hell their smoking. Mike from Calif. called the wrapper the best Maduro he ever smoked.???????? What the hell are you smoking. Dark Natural dummy. Sorry, I couldn't resist
I've been consistently smoking these for over two years, but be forewarned--a) about two of every box have a terrible draw (tight/plug), and you can only cut so far; b) about two of every box seem to have a tunnel/uneven burn. However, I simply love the taste and aroma and have been willing to accept few bad sticks in each box. The other reviews do a good job describing the taste. Enjoy!
This cigar was introduced to me by a friend who owned a local cigar shop and it was highly recommended. Taking his recommendation seriously, I was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed this cigar. It took me a while to realize that the pleasant sweetness in the air was not a perfume of a lovely lady but the smoke from my cigar. You will enjoy it and others around you will comment you on your great taste in cigars.
I have been smoking this cigar for about 10 years. It has a hint of black pepper, very spicy and full-bodied. Great with bourbon, or just outside tailgating. Would recommend to anyone wanting a different full body smoke.
You Said: "Will not buy again Smoke 10 of them - was happy with none. Lousy aroma, taste and draw. Don't know what the fuss is about these cigars." This review was written by Sam Israeli of Las Vegas on July 2, 2004 Why did you smoke 10 of them if they were lousy? I found these cigars to be top notch myself...

A52 cleared after husky is killed
Posted: January 14, 2013|
TRAFFIC was at a standstill on the A52 westbound after a husky was killed after being hit on the road.
A pair of the dogs were running on the dual carriageway close to the Cole Lane junction.
After the dog was hit a BMW rearended a Mercedes at speed according to police in lane two of the dual carriageway.

DURHAM, N.H. Jeff Boulanger scored two goals, including the game-winner with 11:35 remaining, giving the Umass-Lowell a 2-1 Hockey East quarterfinal victory over the University of New Hampshire men's hockey team at the Whittemore Center on Saturday.
Jim St. John finished with 30 saves, making eight in the final period to clinch the series for UMass-Lowell.
On the game-winner, Boulanger curled around the Wildcat net and took the shot from just inside the faceoff circle. The puck appeared to deflect off Ty Conklin's (Anchorage, Alaska) glove and into the net. Steve Slonina was credited with an assist.
The Wildcats had a chance to tie it with 8:33 to go when Jerramie Domish was whistled for cross-checking. However, the Wildcats were unable to capitalize on the opportunity.
The teams skated to a 1-1 tie in the first on goals by Matt Swain (Oakville, Ontario) and Boulanger.
With the win, the River Hawks (19-15-3) take the three-game series after trailing 1-0 and gain a spot in the Hockey East semifinal for the first time since 1998. For the Wildcats (21-12-6), the loss knocks them out of the Hockey East playoffs after a quarterfinal for the first time since '98 when they were swept by Maine. UNH awaits Selection Sunday on March 18 with an outside chance at an NCAA at-large bid.
UNH won game one 4-2 on Thursday before dropping game two 2-1 on Friday.
In the first, the Wildcats got on the board first with a goal by Swain. Nathan Martz (Chilliwack, B.C.) fed Swain from the corner to the slot where the senior forward one-timed the puck past St. John for a 1-0 lead at 15:55. However, it took just a matter of seconds for the River Hawks to tie the game back up, as Jeff Boulanger scored 22 seconds later on an assist from Nick Carson at 16:17.

Your opinion on a food business idea targeted at foodies
My plan is to start an online service that allows foodies to connect and trade their home grown organic produce (vegetables/fruits) with other local foodies instead of purchasing from supermarkets (as organic produce are usually more expensive and have lost a lot of their nutrients).
This trading system will aid in decreasing the amount of unnecessary food wastage in homes, while benefiting those who take part in this service as they receive freshly grown produce for the dish the intend to make.
What are your opinions/concerns for this service?
Thankyou for those who share their opinions as these opinions will be invaluable for me in creating the right service that addresses the needs of foodies.
Talk is closed, but that doesn't mean the conversations have to stop!

Boulder City Library Board of Trustees Meeting
Wednesday, July 30 2014
Members Present: Gary Berger, Kerry Ahearn, Jeff Breeden. Also Present was Library Director Lynn Schofield-Dahl and members of the public, Dave Martin and Laura Palumbo.
The regular meeting of the Library Board of Trustees was called to order at 7:04 p.m. by Chairman Gary Berger.
II. CONSENT AGENDA: Matters considered routine by the Board of Trustees and which may be enacted in one motion. Any item, however, may be discussed separately per Board member request. Any exceptions to the Consent Agenda must be stated prior to approval.
Lynn distributed change pages for the bills and financial Information.
Jeff Breeden moved and Kerry Ahearn seconded approval of the Consent Agenda, the Minutes of the Regular Meeting of July 30, 2014, $50,891.70 in vouchers for the previous month, submitted prior to and the meeting, $1,231.28 in Check Book Expenses for the previous month submitted prior to and at the meeting, for total expenses of $52,122.98 . Motion Carried.
III. CITIZEN PARTICIPATION : Items raised under this portion of the Agenda cannot be acted upon until notice provisions of Nevada's Open Meeting Law have been completed. Therefore, any action on such items must be considered at a later meeting.
Members of the public were asked to introduce themselves. Each also explained why they were interested in serving on the Board of Trustees of the Library. Gary offered a list of questions to the candidates, and asked each to choose a question and then answer it. The candidates were also asked to offer their opinions as to how to deal with a continuing problem patron. The situation was discussed at length. Following that discussion, Dave excused himself from the meeting.
Gary asked Ms. Palumbo to leave so the Board could discuss and choose a candidate to recommend for the position of Library Trustee. Much discussion followed. Jeff Breeden pointed out that, because a candidate was asked to leave, that we were in violation of the Open Meeting Law, and could not take a vote on this topic. In a general consensus, it was decided that the Board had no choice but to table this discussion yet again.
After discussion, a Slate of Officers: Chairman-Gary Berger and Vice Chairman Kerry Ahearn was presented for consideration. Jeff Breeden moved that the slate be accepted and nominations close. Gary Berger seconded. Motion carried.
No questions were asked about the CIP.
Lynn discussed with the group the dissolution of the Policy Committee as a Board Appointed Committee. Posting and Reporting requirements concerning a Board Appointed Committee have become more stringent, and often it is difficult to gather a quorum of the committee in order to complete any work. She suggested that it would be more expedient to have a group formed of staff members propose potential Policies for Board Review and Approval.
Jeff Breeden moved that the Board's Policy Committee be discontinued and that Lynn be instructed to develop policies for Board Review and Approval. Kerry Ahearn seconded. Motion carried.
Gary reminded the group of the need of the Board to speak with one voice when offering instructions to the Director rather than to offer individual instruction to the Director and the staff.
After Discussion, Kerry Ahearn moved and Jeff Breeden seconded that we hold the August Meeting as usual. Motion carried.
VII. CITIZEN PARTICIPATION : Items raised under this portion of the Agenda cannot be acted upon until notice provisions of Nevada's Open Meeting Law have been completed. Therefore, any action on such items must be considered at a later meeting.
No public was present at this time.
The meeting was adjourned at 9:20 p.m.
Prepared by Lynn Schofield-Dahl, Director, Boulder City Library.

True, upsets happen every week. Two national audiences in a row, and it's hard to see any reason for over-confidence. I think the Saints turn it up a notch, to maybe like half-throttle, and win again. They have been dealing with the spotlight quite a while now.
Now that we have the definitive analysis from that intellectual hotbed, the Looniest Village on the Plain, we can all rest easy. So dude, what are you majoring in, peanuts or cotton? Mississippi State? Seriously?
What Sallier said.
I think this guy Billings is a viable wide receiver that noone will pick up on. You could definitely trade one of the "name" receivers for a stud linebacker, with a draft pick to make up the value differential that may exist one way or the other. I think the pass rush will be better than people think, but I am quite nervous about Adrian Peterson this week. Gonna have a lot of one on one on the Vikings 4 receivers, which should work out ok most of the time, I hope. We need to jump up and down on Farve's ankle, the way I see it.
A lot of people seem to assume that only the Vikings have something to prove on opening night. Wrong, banana-breath. The Saints have been hearing all this crap for months about how the Vikings outplayed them, it can't be going down well. Peyton must see the importance of the first two games and the Saints will be ready. Farve may be walking with a limp now, but as daddy used to say, things can always get worse. The fans will be ready to greet their returning champions, the Dome will be rocking, and the Vikings will go down.
All this conventional wisdom is making me nervous. They used to say defense win championships, it could still work that way once in awhile, but last season seems to say offense wins SB, with middling defense. For sure offense puts butts in the seats. I wonder if Peyton will decide the defense is good enough to get by (you got all these late-round steals, undrafted FA, ect, I keep hearing about)and opt for some addition to the offensive arsenal in the first round, stud running back would make PT's career longer, or Aaron Hernandez could be a real boost when Shockey goes through his little nicked-up periods. Imagine the buzz around the league if it's best offense upgrades again? Maybe even Pouncey, I suspect championships are still won in the trenches.
I have been a Gator fan since before there were Saints. As well, I think Tebow would be an incredible slash/type wild card in the Saints offense. But to say he will ever be a better NFL QB than Brees is just weird.
Play him for the 3.7, happy or not. The whole thing could look vastly different a year down the road.
Reis will make the team, and the Saints continue to impress with their commitment to keeping the team together. Respect the mojo! The onside kick will be discussed and embellished every Super Bowl Sunday from now on, and every Super Bowl gamble will be measured on the Sean Peyton yardstick.
I wonder how many fan bases around the league have such a high opinion of their coach?
Reggie stays, done deal, let it go. And wise up and be grateful. Peyton's monster offense is only partly assembled, you ain't seen nothing yet and Reggie will be integral. Really, there is nothing else to talk about right now, and everybody is jonesing. Just the fact that Bush is on the team, our fullback returning, just makes me warm and fuzzy all over.
A class act that will be missed. BUT, the only constant is change. They can't take last season away, but we can't play it again either. At least he will not end his career without a ring. The new season has begun, and I think the prospects are good. Let's just hope the positive chemistry can be maintained for the two-peat try.
Based on track record, rational person would have to believe these guys know what they are doing. Decisions are hard and you can't keep every player you like. I think they are on the right track and fans will like the draft. Don't see us collapsing next year like those other teams.
I still remember the incredible feeling of relief watching Porter run, it seemed he was running unnaturally fast, then there were no flags, and Manning was left with very little time to try and put up 14 points. Couldn't really relax untill Brees took a knee. No Saints fan alive at this time will ever forget Tracy Porter in these playoffs. You just have to wonder, with some minor tweaking, how good can this team be?
Come on Mikey, we have the best QB in football. Are you seriouly proposing an upgrade? Tebow would be a great toy for SP offense in the short term, with possibility of being QB of the future. Brunell really should go coach at this point. Carlos Dunlap may fall in the draft due to DUI, but he is a difference-maker who will have a chip on his shoulder. While we're drafting Gators, Aaron Hernandez would be a fine TE for the long run, I love Shockey but he is constantly compromised by injuries and doesn't figure to get any younger. Running game will be stronger next year if the fullback can come back healthy, they missed him a lot. Roby and Arrington should add depth at WR, really the future is bright enough to wear shades.
That's cool. Heath Evans embodies the team attitude of the Saints. Bet number 44 is there for SB45, with bells on.
And really, folks, 82 years old. A little respect for your elders (this guy's even older than I am), and a little heartfelt gratitude is in order. Show a little southern civility, and a little class.
Cautious optimism my butt. "The hand of providence" is spot on. As Joe Louis pointed out, the trick is not to have God on your side, but to be on God's side. I know the Saints will play their hearts out and anything can happen in one game, but if you cannot look at this team and see the winners they are, well, it is there for those that have eyes to see. The Saints are only just beginning. When they get off the plane in New Orleans, the world will know they and the Who Dats are winners, and if Lord forbid they are on the wrong side of one more score, that truth will still be plain to see. We are truly blessed.
Organization as reknowned as Indy should devise a plan to block for their QB, especially since they lack a capable back-up at the position.
A QB injury on either side would forever taint this Super Bowl with an asterisk. Leave us hope it doesn't come to that. Noone will remember if Phreenie doesn't play, though, I can live with that. Geaux Saints, grab your piece of immortality.
That's lame, dude. Injuring some other team's warrior would be cold comfort (and that only to the deranged) after losing the SB. And Viking queens, grow up. If the crucial player wasn't targeted in the NFL, Duece would still be carrying the ball instead of retired from all the attention he got when carrying the Saints on his back.

AMG announce C63 inspired 2700hp Black Series Cigarette boat
Just like the SLS AMG inspired Cigarette racing boat, Mercedes' performance arm AMG has teamed up with Cigarette racing once again to create the Black Series 50' Marauder Cigarette boat. It takes its inspiration from the C63 AMG Black Series that is due to be unleashed on US dealerships from April.
Whilst its inspirationa 510hp 6.3-liter V8, the Cigarette boat gets a couple of Mercury Racing engines that generate 1350 horsepower each. That results in a total output of 2,700hp (2,013kW / 2,737PS).
The exterior of the boat takes the black and white theme of the C63 AMG Black Series and it also incorporates more than 100 billet aluminum accents in areas such as the dash, grab handles, seat supports and sound system.
The new Black Series 50' Marauder Cigarette boat was officially unveiled for public viewing at the 2012 Miami Boast Show that took place last weekend. Full details are available in the press release below.
Mercedes-AMG and Cigarette Racing took their alliance to a new level with the debut of the "Black Series" 50' Marauder Cigarette boat, inspired by the C63 AMG Black Series
While each brand's products always exemplify the ultimate in performance and luxury, the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series and Inspired by AMG "Black Series" 50' Marauder represent the next level in excellence.
Arriving in U.S. dealerships this April, the C63 AMG Black Series is the most powerful C-Class of all time, boasting a maximum output of 510 hp and a maximum torque of 457 lb-ft. The high-revving AMG 6.3-liter V8 delivers a 0-60 sprint in just 4.2 seconds and a top speed of 186 mph.
Introduced at the 2012 Miami Boat Show, the Inspired by AMG "Black Series" 50' Marauder features striking black and white design scheme is carried throughout from the Mercedes color-matched paint to the all-newly designed interior, upholstered with luxurious Alcantara.
Billet aluminum pieces -more than 100-are integrated throughout, customized for the AMG Black Series boat, incorporating a new formula of anodizing and corrosion resistance. Billet is featured on the dash, grab handles, seat supports, sound system and in numerous trim accents.
Powered by two Mercury Racing 1350 (2700 total hp.) engines, the boat's speed is matched only by its smooth efficiency, running on pump fuel, without headers, with a warranty, combining for an exciting day on the water for the most discerning performance boat aficionado.
Founded upon mutual respect and product admiration, Mercedes-AMG and Cigarette Racing have developed a long-standing professional relationship. In 2010, Cigarette Racing revealed the "Inspired by AMG" 46' Rider, inspired by the SLS AMG.
The Cigarette 46' Rider featured hand-applied AMG ALUBEAM silver paintwork, also available on the SLS AMG. This process, used exclusively by AMG, covers body surfaces like a metallic skin, targeting light reflections to further emphasize exterior character lines and design details.

UK Hoops Selected for Third Consecutive NCAA Tournament
March 16, 2012
No. 12/11 Kentucky earned its third straight bid to the NCAA Tournament, and ninth overall, with a No. 2 seed in the Kingston Regional. It is the first time in UK Hoops history that the Wildcats have advanced to three straight NCAA tournaments, and the Wildcats' No. 2 seed ties its highest ever in the NCAA Tournament. The Wildcats (25-6) will face 15-seeded McNeese State in the first round Saturday at Hilton Coliseum in Ames, Iowa. The other first round matchup in Ames, Iowa, features No. 7 seed Green Bay (30-1) and No. 10 seed Iowa State (18-12).
The Wildcats have had one of the most successful seasons in UK Hoops history thus far. In addition to winning a school-record 13 Southeastern Conference games, Kentucky won its first SEC regular season championship in 30 years, and has won 25 games for the third straight season for the first time in program history.
UK has been led, in part, by junior guard A'dia Mathies, who was named the SEC Player of the Year as well as first team All-SEC and SEC All-Defensive Team. Mathies is also in contention for four national player of the year awards, including the John R. Wooden Award, Naismith Trophy, Wade Trophy and U.S. Basketball Writers Association National Player of the Year Award. Mathies leads the Wildcats in scoring (15.7 points per game), steals (82) and 3-point field goal percentage (.381).

Consistent with this year's theme -- "Victims' Rights: Right for America" -- this special commemoration provides the Department of Defense an opportunity to renew the Department's commitment to ensuring fair treatment and comprehensive services for victims of crime.
Although our nation's crime rate has experienced an historic drop, the devastating impact of crime is still felt by millions of Americans each year.
Unfortunately, the military is not immune from this national problem.
Crime and victimization are important concerns for our military communities.
Just as in American society as a whole, the physical, financial, and psychological results of crime have devastating effects on the lives of service members and their families.
When one member of any community is victimized, all share in the consequences.
Significant progress has been made during the past decade in the Department of Defense's efforts to assist crime victims.
As Cohen said: "We can take great pride in the victim support programs we have initiated throughout the Department of Defense.
While we have come far, we must renew our resolve and expand our efforts.
Making our communities safe must remain a top priority."

We live in an age of predictions - of the economy, the environment, technology, medicine, communication, and much more. Higher education is not immune from trends. In fact, predicting trends at colleges and universities is a very hot topic these days.
That's because campus life as we know it is beginning to change radically. The trends heralding that change are already here.
My recent visits to various professional conferences have constituted a preview of what administrators and faculty will soon know as reality. Whether campuses are public or private, two-year or four-year, residential or commuter, the changes impacting higher education are inevitable. What remains for us as higher education leaders is to decide how to respond to them and, we hope, benefit from them.

The Florida Department of Economic Opportunity's July unemployment report, released Friday, shows the state's unemployment rate is 7.1 percent for the third month in a row. Likewise, jobless rates in Walton, Okaloosa and Santa Rosa counties stayed flat from their June figures.
Jesse Panuccio, the Department of Economic Opportunity's executive director, said the unemployment rate staying flat for the last three months is no cause for concern. He said Florida added 34,000 private-sector jobs in July. One thing affecting the jobless rate is that more people are re-entering the workforce as the economy shows signs of improvement.
Although Walton County's July unemployment rate of 4.2 percent was unchanged from June, it tied with Monroe County for the lowest jobless rate in the state. Okaloosa County had the next-lowest unemployment rate at 5.1 percent.
The national unemployment rate dropped from 7.6 percent in June to 7.4 percent in July, but local economist David Goetsch said the true jobless rate is much higher than that. The U6 unemployment rate for July, which includes people who have stopped seeking work and part-time employees wanting to work full time, is at 14 percent, according to Macrotrends.
