Read Poems by
Andrea Dietrich
I'm fortunate in that there have not been
too many I held dear who passed away.
I knew folks from my youth already grey
back then, including some who were my kin,
who all moved on -good women and good men -
as well as kids I'd known back in the day
who died too young, and to the world's dismay,
bright stars have died that we'll not see again!
But I had no connection very strong
to any of those souls except for one,
whose destiny was an untimely death.
How sweet and wise my brother was! I long
to be with him again. I know he's won
his rest, where he now draws eternal breath.

The exact courses of action to establish a small business with specific examples of successes
by AlexCook17750, Window Shopper
- Created: March 8, 2013, 6:45 pm
I am currently working with a suicide prevention non-profit that is very successful in stopping the suicides but falls short of it's goals in establishing hope for the future of the people they are helping. A significant percentage of the people helped in the last year were young, wounded vets. I am hoping to be able to help them see a future for themselves in the workplace. These young people are most of the time fairly hard to reach emotionally and have a difficult time seeing a positive future for themselves and their families. None of them has ever thought of starting or operating their own business. Many of them are unable to return to the jobs they had in the civilian sector they had before their military service. This fact seems to be true for many of our National Guard vets as well as the full time service veterans. Examples of other young people who have been successful in this complex endeavor would be very valuable. If you have not visited these people in their homes you cannot believe the impact their wounds have on them once they come home and all the government assistance stops and they are all by themselves. I have found them sitting in rocking chairs month after month unable to even leave their homes. Facing the world is very difficult for these people on a day to day basis and they feel very alone and abandoned by Life itself once they leave the military and are now forced to see themselves as a crippled young man. Life for them in this new role is overwhelming. When I talk to them about starting a business for themselves they look at me with confusion. For a person finding it hard to get out of the house, living day to day, starting a business seems too much. Their first question involve "what can I do" and so far I have not been able to come up with many answers. I hope some of the actual people who have been in this same position can help me get a grip on this. They would have come to your site and found answers. I am just beginning and need any help I can get. Thank you in advance for any help you can give me. Alex Cook

Before these people can start a successful business, they need to deal with
their immediate issues, such as depression and lack of social support.
Perhaps your first step should be to develop a referral network to help the
vets get back on track emotionally and socially. Then, when they are
"healthy," you can assist them with the basics of starting a business.

Hi Alex, that is a great cause! This page provides information and resources for veterans to start and grow a small business. Best of luck!!
leowelder | Window Shopper | 3/8/2013 - 11:18 pm
The seems like a great endeavor. If you're looking for examples of successful veterans who have started businesses, I would imagine there are a very large number. There is a section of entrepreneur.com dedicated to veterans. Here is a Kauffman Institute affiliate listing entrepreneurship training seminars specifically geared to veterans. Does that help?

text: UAH officially establishes new "green fund" for energy-independence, savings JUL 18, 2013 | Diana LaChance Haley Hix, founder and student leader of Chargers for Sustainability.. Michael Mercier | UAH Administration officials at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) approved yesterday the establishment of a "Green Fund" to support sustainability-related projects on campus. The new fund, which could generate over a quarter of a million dollars for on-campus sustainability projects over the next five years, is a collaborative endeavor by the UAH Student Government Association (SGA), Chargers for Sustainability, the UAH Green Club, and the Coalition of Alabama Students for the Environment (CASE). "By combining green technologies with sustainable efforts we can provide maximum savings to our university and its students," says SGA president Nandish Dayal. "And by putting their backing behind the student-led Green Fund initiative, the UAH administration continues its commitment to placing students first!" A committee comprising volunteer students, faculty, and staff will oversee the fund, which will launch this fall with a budget of $20,000. They will be responsible for selecting and implementing student-submitted projects for energy independence, efficiency, renewables, recycling, and other environmental initiatives. "I envisioned UAH one day having a Green Fund and I can't believe it's becoming a reality," says Haley Hix, founder and student leader of Chargers for Sustainability, which will serve as the parent committee for the Green Fund Committee. "I am overwhelmed with the amount of support we have gotten from the faculty and administration." She adds that they are now in the process of accepting applications for Green Fund committee members, who will serve one-year terms. "We are asking interested volunteers to visit our website, www.uah.edu/sustainability/green-fund, and complete an application." Chargers For Sustainability will also work alongside students, faculty, and staff to create new project proposals that will support the expansion of the fund through spring 2014.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth The Upgrade
Since anyone considering buying this probably knows what a great album it is, I am writing this simply to address the Hybrid SACD version of "Blue Train." This is one of those albums that I, personally, have spent the money to upgrade 3 times (it's THAT good).
While I can't speak for the recent RVG Series re-issue, I can say that this version sounds considerably...

2.0 out of 5 stars This Train Left the Station a Little Early
Unless you're a John Coltane fanatic/collector, you'll miss nothing of importance by not passing on this really quite pedestrian blowing session. The lineup seems impressive enough at first glance, but the session wound up as a perfunctory-sounding changes run by all involved - - aside from John's solo on 'Moment's Notice,' there really isn't any magic here.

Since anyone considering buying this probably knows what a great album it is, I am writing this simply to address the Hybrid SACD version of "Blue Train." This is one of those albums that I, personally, have spent the money to upgrade 3 times (it's THAT good).
While I can't speak for the recent RVG Series re-issue, I can say that this version sounds considerably better than the 1996 re-issue, "The Ultimate Blue Train" - bass is richer, drums crisper and over-all live feel of the recording is unprecendented. If are considering buying the RVG remaster, why not spend a few dollars more and get this Hybrid SACD since it plays in both Super Audio and regulars CD players. It is worth the investment.
5.0 out of 5 stars A sensational jam session.,
Tom W.C Oppenheim (Victoria, Australia.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Blue Train (Audio CD)
For me, the recordings Coltrane made between 1957 and 1959 were his greatest of his entire two decade career. Milestones, Kind of Blue and Blue Train all showcase Coltrane at his best. Unlike the two recordings he made with the Miles Davis Sextet, this music is more easy listening and for that reason offers the perfect introduction to John Coltrane. Coltrane plays with fire on a wonderfully exciting blues journey, Blue Train; his solo being perfectly complemented by an equally exciting solo by trumpeter Lee Morgan. This piece is one of the most famous of all Coltrane recordings and rightly so. The recording captures the freedom and ambience of a true jam session sound. My personal favourite, however, is the only cover track on the album, I'm Old Fashioned. Here, Coltrane showcases, what for me, is the highlight on any John Coltrane solo - his sound. Coltrane had one of the most sublime saxophone sounds in the history of jazz, for me, second only to Charlie Parker. On this track, Coltrane bares his sound for all to hear, free of the intense technical displays which tend to obscure it. Like many other Coltrane ballad interpretations, he plays the pure melody, with slight augmentations, but always with simplicity and honesty. John Coltrane truly had one the most individual and beautiful sounds of all time and it is truly exemplified on, this, his most accessible of all recordings.
4.0 out of 5 stars Another Trane,
Caponsacchi (Kenosha,, WI United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Blue Train (Audio CD)
The rating, of course, is relative. Practically any recording by Coltrane before 1966 deserves five stars, but "Blue Trane's" singular importance, it strikes me, has been exaggerated. National Public Radio lists it in its "Basic Jazz Library" but omits "Giant Steps," the recording that changed the harmonic language of jazz.
"Blue Trane" is one of many Van Gelder-engineered sessions featuring Coltrane's tenor in the 1950's. Besides the Miles Quintet dates on Prestige there's sterling work by Trane on sessions with Kenny Burrell, Ray Draper, and Hank Mobley, to name a few.. "Blue Trane" is certainly an exemplary session, one moreover than inspires both Morgan and Fuller to reach new heights (though Fuller falters a bit on "Old Fashioned." One wishes J.J. Johnson, especially after his superb Blue Note session with Rollins, had recorded with Coltrane).
The problem with the session, compared to the Miles Quintet recordings, is simply that Trane has to give up solo space to an additional horn (if a sixth horn is to be added to the ensemble, it may as well be Cannonball Adderly's). Also, opinions will vary, but an undeniable sameness attaches itself to the familiar, up-close, "Van Gelder sound." Unless you're a Coltrane collector, the better bets from this period are the Columbia recordings, especially "Round Midnight" and "Kind of Blue." They capture superlative and stunning solos by Coltrane within the context of cutting-edge ensembles and three-dimensional sound.
5.0 out of 5 stars My All-time Favorite Coltrane,
T. B. Vick "T.B.V." - See all my reviews
This album (CD) is without a doubt my favorite all-time Coltrane work. I can't seem to get enough. The greatest Coltrane song ever written - "Blue Train" - is on this CD. This song has been featured in several movies (e.g. 'Singles')and has a style and rhythm that is like no other jazz song in the history of jazz music. In fact, 'Blue Train' is the consummate jazz song.
What's even greater than the above is the fact that every remaining song on this CD follows suit. 'Moment's Notice' has a nice friendly flow to it, and Curtis Fuller has some great trombone work on this song. Other songs like 'Locomotion' -which gives a locomotion feel to it - and 'I'm Old Fashion'- a lazy, flowing romantic melodious tune which draws the listener into the music - are also great additions. In fact, there's not a bad song on this CD. I Love this CD.
If you are a big fan of Coltrane's, a big fan of jazz music or just someone who would like to get introduced to Coltrane - this is the best album to begin your journey through the land of Coltrane (where many other great CDs exist). I highly recommend this CD.
5.0 out of 5 stars One of Coltrane's most satisfying recordings,
Joost Daalder "Joost Daalder" (South Australia) - See all my reviews
This is not quite as startlingly 'original' a Coltrane recording, perhaps, as some of the later ones which many, myself included, see as probably ultimately more 'important' or 'innovative'. But is that the way we should look at things? Here, Coltrane is already masterly, and with a clear discipline that is often more inviting and accessible than his more difficult and yet brilliant music still to come. Moreover, he wrote some great themes for this album, not the least of them 'Blue Train' itself, which is both hauntingly blue and Trane indeed, and exciting in each of the versions presented on this CD. But ALL the tracks offered are good. The sound is superb. The other musicians are also very, very good, with Lee Morgan and Curtis Fuller excellent on trumpet and trombone, and a hard-driving but richly varied performance by the "rhythm" section. In some ways the thematic material is perhaps more revolutionary (listen for some things not unlike those subsequently found in 'Kind of Blue') than the solos, but those are nevertheless uniformly great and super-duper listening, sometimes more in a funky Horace Silver/Jazz Messengers mode. A good record to own!
5.0 out of 5 stars One of the Greatest Jazz Albums of All-Time,
This was the first jazz album that I have ever bought and the first of 15 Coltrane albums. I am no expert when it comes to the techniques or even the jargon of jazz, but I can relay what my ears have heard: this is some of the greatest music I have ever heard!
This is the only *true* jazz album that Coltrane did for the legendary jazz label, Blue Note. The story goes like this: Coltrane was not signed to a label at the time (late 1956 to early 1957) and went to see legendary Blue Note producer, Alfred Lion, for some Sidney Bechet albums. They talked about a record deal but the guy who handled that had already left for the day. However, Lion gave Coltrane the albums and a little advance and Coltrane said that he would return in a couple of days. But he never did and later signed with the Prestige label (the first of 3 labels that Coltrane recorded for as a main performer); he remembered later the talk with Lion and insisted that he cut one album for Blue Note, thus "Blue Train". Whether that is the way it really happened is debateable, but it makes for a good story!
Getting to the music: the personnel is outstanding as it is headed by Coltrane on tenor sax, the brilliant Lee Morgan on trumpet, the sublime Curtis Fuller on trombone, pianist Kenny Drew, and the Miles Davis rhythm section (who Coltrane was a part of at that time)of Paul Chambers on bass (who I think is the greatest jazz bassist of all-time) and Philly Joe Jones on drums. The first 2 numbers, "Blue Train" and "Moment's Notice" have become jazz standards and the version of the old standard, "I'm Old Fashioned" is outstanding. The rest of the album is excellent and there are even 2 bonus tracks in alternate versions of "Blue Train" and "Lazy Bird". If you have a MacIntosh Computer, you can even see an interview of Coltrane from this CD!
There are several versions of "Blue Train" out there including a recent release of a Rudy Van Gelder series. Don't waste your money on that version or any others; this is the version of "Blue Train" to buy. Also, if you are afraid that you have to be a Coltrane diehard or a free jazz fan, don't. This album is an excellent introduction to not only a great artist who had a tragic short career, yet brilliant one as well as jazz in general.
5.0 out of 5 stars An hour of perfect music, and video as a bonus...,
William E. Adams (San Angelo, Texas USA) - See all my reviews
If you want the Blue Train album, and you have a computer available, it is worth it to get "Ultimate" and spend 30-40 minutes watching and listening to the enhancements. There is a video clip of Trane playing "So What" with Miles Davis (from a black and white TV special around 1959) and a wonderful segment on Rudy Van Gelder. He's the engineer par excellance who was first an optometrist. He began recording jazz artists almost accidentally in the living room of his parents' house in Hackensack, NJ. That success led to getting a separate studio built in nearby Englewood Cliffs and to the abandoning of RVG's day job with eye exams. There are also interviews with six or seven men who played with Coltrane on various projects, and some audio clips from '50's albums in which Trane was not the leader. You can even listen to the music on this CD through your computer speakers if you wish. Read six or seven of the other reviews which describe the tunes and the playing in detail, then buy this. Along with "Kind of Blue" and a handful of other classic recordings, "Blue Train" is the cream of '50's jazz. Seeing and hearing the added features via computer, even just once, will help you understand why.
4.0 out of 5 stars Too Many Blue Trains,
Michael Brad Richman (Portland, Maine USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Blue Train (Audio CD)
Wait a minute, I already own "The Ultimate Blue Train" so what is this CD supposed to be, Super-Ultimate?! Clearly with this reissue of John Coltrane's classic "Blue Train," the folks at Blue Note have returned to the mindset they had during the deletion-happy, series-slashing days of the late 1980s (when they reportedly deleted the majority of that year's jazz releases to make way for a then new Garth Brooks album). I am delighted that Rudy Van Gelder has been able to remaster one of the greatest sessions that he ever recorded, but that fact alone does not warrant another reissue. "The Ultimate Blue Train" was worth buying to replace the original CD -- it had remastered sound, two bonus tracks, and a multi-media component featuring rare photographs and more. It was what CDs were supposed to be! Yet another CD reissue of the same material that we all are supposed to buy again, that furthermore confuses potential new jazz buyers, is not! The only reason I give this CD four stars and not less is because this album contains some of the greatest jazz ever made. I love John Coltrane, but I hate manipulative marketing.
5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best from the 50s,
MurrayTheCat (upstate New York) - See all my reviews
John Coltrane was a monster of the tenor sax as early as 1955, when he first joined Miles Davis' band. An overachiever, Coltrane had a relentless and unvarying passion for practice, for improving his skills as an artist. As he progressed through his quite legendary career, he never ceased to amaze.
BLUE TRAIN (1957) is a classic; an album often heralded as one of the greatest records of the 1950s by fans and jazz educators alike. It gives the listener a very clear view of what made these musicians so great. You will notice things like Coltrane's (and pianist Kenny Drew's) tasteful and masterful usage of the blues scale in the chant-like title cut. Many musicians have the tendency to drive that scale into the ground when playing the blues. Not so here: these guys were well beyond that sort of thing. On Jerome Kern's "I'm Old Fashioned," you will hear Coltrane's (or was it Kenny Drew's?) ascending-stepwise reharmonization. The Lee Morgan and Curtis Fuller solos on "Locomotion" are a delight, but that's true of the entire album.
It is well known that the Coltrane composition "Giant Steps" (released in 1959) is a bear to play, to improvise on the changes. But, even here, Coltrane was writing tunes that could shake a few people up. "Moment's Notice" is one such tune. It has an ABAC structure (8 bars, 8 bars, 8 bars, 14 bars: a total of 38 bars for one time through)--hard enough to follow--along with a barrage of formidable chord changes. Some say the song got its name when Curtis Fuller asked, "You expect me to play these changes at a moment's notice?"
BLUE TRAIN is certainly deserving of being hailed as a "classic," a term grossly overused these days. Imagination or creativity doesn't always come in the form of extreme busyness, and if you give this album your full attention, it will offer riches galore. There is good reason why BLUE TRAIN is listed on many a jazz educator's essential recordings list: It IS essential. (Seeing that this reissue gives you all the bonus extras for just a few bucks more, I can't see going for the earlier one.)
5.0 out of 5 stars "Blue Train" - a Classic Remastered.,
The Groove (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews
Is "Blue Train" my favorite John Coltrane album? No, it isn't. Is it still a classic? You bet. Here is a record that captures the essence of cool and exudes style and grace so effortlessly, the music almost seems to float on air. John and his band give nothing less than 100% throughout this album, and their superb playing helped shape up what is now known as probably the most familiar jazz record that isn't performed by Miles Davis. It's been a while since I've listened to this album, but having recently gotten the newly packaged edition, I've reintroduced myself to a "Blue Train" that actually improves over the original recording. For one, the remastered version presents the album the way it was meant to be heard: clean and crisp. The incredible title track and "Locomotion" benefit most from the remastering, and Coltrane's sax playing is even more commanding this time around. Also, we get alternative versions of 2 tracks: the better of the two is "Blue Train." On this version, Coltrane's playing differs quite significantly, but it works just as well. In addition, the disc has an enhanced portion for your PC where you can listen to retrospective interviews from engineer Rudy Van Gelder, as well as a brief black-and-white video where Coltrane is performing with Miles Davis onstage. So if you're new to Coltrane and are unsure which version of "Blue Train" to get, this baby is the one to pick up. The remastering provides a better sound, you get two bonus tracks, and there's a decent handful of extras to view/listen on your computer. "Blue Train" still holds up as a classic, and its remastering and repackaging are well deserved.

A number of clubs, including CSKA Moscow, Anzhi Makhachkala and Zenit St Petersburg, have all reportedly been eyeing a move for the Vitesse Arnhem star.
The Ivory Coast international currently tops the Eredivisie scoring charts with an impressive 18 goals in 19 matches and he has also been linked with Premier League clubs Newcastle, Chelsea, Liverpool and West Ham.
One of Bony's two representatives Francis Kacou admitted that there was some interest from three Russian clubs in the attacker, but he also made it clear that there were 'no serious talks' about signing him.
Kacou expects the 24-year-old to finish the season at Vitesse, where he has excelled.
He told Dutch newspaper Algemeen Dagblad: "If a Russian club comes in with a very good offer for him then of course the offer will be considered. But there is only three more months of the season remaining.
"I am hoping Bony will score a lot of goals in the remaining few months of the season and then he can choose from whatever club he wants in the summer."

The McIninch Art Gallery at Southern New Hampshire University will present "Traversing Gender" from Sept. 20 through Oct. 23. An opening reception will be held Wednesday, Sept. 22, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.
The exhibiting artists include Hannah Barrett, Jesse Burke, Caleb Cole, Jess T. Dugan, Lauren DiCioccio, Lalla A. Essaydi, Elisas Johns, Steve Locke, Mary Ellen Strom, Triiibe, Suzanne Sinclair and Rune Olsen (courtesy of Gallery Houk in New York, and Gallery Kayafas, Howard Yezerski Gallery, Judi Rothenberg Gallery, Samson Projects, and Walker Contemporary in Boston).
Selections for this exhibit traverse gendered representation in contemporary art and provide an array of stories that reveal how we adopt various roles, either masculine or feminine, and how these interpretations are visually constructed. "Traversing Gender" includes political, social, economic and religious content that gives way to broader implications illustrated in a disparate selection of photography, painting, installation and sculpture.
Locke presents a unique array of portraits, brightly painted with quick drawn brush strokes. The paintings are micro views of daily occurrences among men: dressing, shaving, drinking beer. Cole assumes various roles of both men and women in his photographs, which are charged with allegory. Strom reflects on women in gender throughout history in her video projection of her contemporary model Andrea Hendrickson posing after "The Surprised Nymph" by Edouard Manet, 1859-1861. Stylistically she has captured the portrait with a perfect rendering using a new medium, relative to that of Manet's day. Is Manet's Nude more acceptable as it stood the test of time? Are we still uncomfortable with nudity as it is presented in the 21st century? Sinclair drafts and then lightly paints images of women that hark back to Playboy centerfolds of the 1960s, reminding us indirectly of feminism's rush to save women from puppetry. DiCioccio offers yet another point of view of gender in art by exploiting the feminine crafts of sewing and needlepoint to construct objects that are equally relevant to men as well as women.
Please call Debbie Disston at 603.629.4622 or e-mail email@example.com. The McIninch Art Gallery, which was made possible by a generous gift from the McIninch Foundation, is open Mondays through Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Thursdays from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. All gallery events are free and open to the public.

By Donna MilesAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, May 16, 2005 Continued political progress in Iraq is expected "to pull Iraqis who may be 'on the fence' into support for the government," the president's national security adviser said on May 15 television talk shows.
Stephen Hadley also said indications that North Korea is preparing for a nuclear test represent a serious concern that demands continued international pressure.
Hadley said the creation of Iraq's interim government and that group's work to draft a constitution are sending a strong message to the Iraqi people, including Iraq's minority Sunnis, who are joining the political process.
Such steps also are increasingly isolating terrorists who oppose the progress being made, he said on "Fox News Sunday."
"They obviously oppose that progress. It undermines everything they stand for," he said.
The recent surge in violence, most of it targeting Iraqis, represents the terrorists' reaction to political progress taking place, Hadley said. "I think what you're seeing is a major effort to derail the new government that has recently been put in place," he said.
Hadley said the United States has warned both Iran and Syria not to assist terrorists in Iraq and, in turn, undermine political progress under way.
Meanwhile, the United States is working closely with the Pakistanis during interrogations of high-ranking al Qaeda leader Abu Faraj al-Libbi. "We think that he may have very useful information, and we are working closely with the Pakistanis," Hadley said on CNN's "Late Edition." "We both have an interest in making sure that any information that he has available that can advance our cause against the terrorists is obtained and used."
Hadley was unable to confirm press reports that Abu Musab al-Zarqawi has been seriously injured, but said elimination of the al Qaeda ringleader would make a "pretty significant difference" in Iraq.
"He is at the focus point of the network that is responsible for some of the worst violence in Iraq," Hadley said. "And we think that (eliminating Zarqawi) would have an impact on the operational pace of that network and would be a substantial contribution to the war on terror."
Despite the recent increase in violent acts, Hadley said, the future looks positive for Iraq. "Iraqis now have an opportunity to build and run their own country," Hadley said. "What we're seeing is an authentic Iraqi political process of Iraqis for the first time in decades having the opportunity to take responsibility for their own country, and we're confident they will do that."
Thousands of miles away, in North Korea, evidence of an upcoming nuclear test is building, Hadley acknowledged.
The governments of Russia, China, the United States, South Korean and Japan -- nations that joined North Korea in the six-party talks aimed at "denuclearizing" the Korean peninsula -- remain in agreement that North Korea should not be permitted to have nuclear weapons and have stepped up diplomatic pressure, Hadley said.
"If there is a nuclear test, obviously that will be a defiance (by) North Korea of every member of the six-party talks, including China, and we think at that point we will have to have a serious conversation about other steps we can take," he said.

Hey Bammers, without Auburn you'd starve to death, you wouldn't be able to get medicine when you are sick and, most importantly, your pets would die.
a) If being at the Barn is not being like you, thank God I'm a graduate of the Cow Tippin, Cow Barner, Cow College.
b) Getting respect will happen by winning. Florida wasn't respected at all till they won BOTH their National Championships. Plus, helping get attention is a job for our esteemed AD and our marketing dept. I hate it for you, Bama is not what is respected, it is Saban. Y'all just happen to have him right now.
c) I've said this before. Without the Barn--your pets would die. Even the skinny dog you probably keep on a chain. Without the Barn--you'd starve to death. Cow college--get it? We eat cows.
Interesting comments by Kiffin. His big mouth trash-talking tactics didn't work against UF--so now he's decided to kill us with kindness.
It is definitely going to be a great game. At the game last year in AU, there were a ton of Bama folks there. I asked one of them why in the world would they come to AU for a ballgame? They said they hated Tennessee that badly and wanted to watch them lose.
We don't have that kind of hatred for TN though. I had a blast with a bunch of them in our SEC game all those years ago when we went undefeated.
No Tiger Walk at Neyland? Who cares? TN fans are not bad. Now if it was Bama, then you might have some safety issues.
That's something you don't see everyday--someone's top three schools as Auburn, Purdue and Iowa. I'm glad he chose Auburn...
The way I can tell when we have a great game is how many times I have to throw things at the TV after we do something stupid. Guys, I have YET to throw things. I knew we would beat TN, it was just a matter of how we would do it.
Did anyone else notice Rocky Top wasn't played much? Also, on kickoffs, the only thing I could hear was WARRRRRRR EAGLE, HEY! Our fans took over from the very beginning.
WDE and DWWD!!!
I don't mean to be a spoiler but the last time we played Arkansas at 11 am we got the crap beat out of us. I'd never seen such a bunch of sleepwalkers--fans and players alike. I hope the Chizzer remembers that--I think it was the last year he was at AU before going to TX. Malzahn was the offensive coordinator for Ark that year though....
a) Yes, if she can provide documentation that she legally owns anything, then she should have it. But I would think she would have long ago gotten that paperwork together with her lawyers after all the other stuff started.
b) Indeed kwn, though I can't tell if you are being sarcastic...As far as being a good Christian, just because you are one doesn't mean you don't pay for wrongdoing. In fact, it is expected of you to do so. Laws on Earth are still laws. If you are Saved, you are forgiven by The Lord. However, you are still responsible for your actions. Leslie Scrushy was as much a part of all of this as her husband. She knew and did nothing. She still does not accept her responsibility as part of this.
c) Leslie, get out of the situation. Let go of Richard and start a new life while you are young and you can.
Um, duh. Of course they are getting paid. How do people think those drivers keep their cars going?
Well, it least he didn't make his getaway on a riding lawn mower or a tractor. Or on a horse.
I've said it many times and I'll say it again...without us Barners, your pets would DIE and you'd starve to death. Plus your wife's plants wouldn't grow and you'd have no paper to write on.
Hmm--as for picks--the last time we played Ark at 11am we got our butts kicked. Granted, Malzahn was the OC for them then....but talk about a bunch of zombies all trying to catch McFadden and the other guy...it was a sorry sight.
AU over Ark--barely. Should be a good game
TN over GA--TN is about to figure it out. Ga is running for cover.
AL over Ole Miss--Rebels are way overrated.
FL over LSU--I was impressed with the backup QB for FL and he will very likely play several downs. LSU always manages to eke out wins but not this time.
GT will stomp FSU--sorry to my Noles but even Chief Osceola can't save you now. Too many chiefs and not enough indians are running the team (no pub intended).
Nice one Paul. I'd say spot on. But another big surprise is how bad Ole Miss really is after being as high as #4. Or is anyone surprised?
Tigerstripe1--please tell me you've NEVER been on the AU campus and don't know where it is so you will NEVER go there. OMG you are an idiot.
Love the comments about Tubs. I still can't get over that we hired him in the first place. Oh wait, Lowder hired him--how could I forget. Speaking of Low-der, there's a great article about him in money.com--there are a few things the article mentioned that I totally forgot about. Anyway, Tubs' day job is probably as a "consultant." That seems to be a popular title for bigwigs who are out of work. I guess Lowder will be a "consultant" soon himself. But I digress.
Chizzer has surprised me too but there's a long way to go. At least he looks like an athlete out there--Tubs looked like the 4th-string waterboy.
Georgia is the 2009 version of 2008 Auburn. Not as bad but getting close. I bet there are some GA folks talking about getting a new coach--you know good and well they are. They just know how to keep their mouths shut. I can't wait to see the list. I bet Tubs is working his connections day and night for a try-out.
Once again, Scrushy is wagging the dog. He has yet acknowledge his own responsibility in ruining the lives of God knows how many people. His woe is me crap has gotten way past ridiculous and in his own greed and complete lack of morals, he is spending millions of taxpayers' dollars on these endless trials to get money, get out of jail, get his picture in the paper, etc. Oh, then there's his devoted but blind wife Leslie. If he's not in the papers, she makes sure the Scrushy name is out there. DO YOUR TIME, REPENT AND PAY BACK WHAT YOU TOOK FROM SO MANY. THEN SHUT UP AND GO LIVE IN ALASKA.
I bet that suit is a $5,000 custom-made Saville Row. As is the shirt. The tie is really more yellow I think. Not very stylish either. He must have had to get it a yard sale on the way to court.
Question--do people protest him outside of the courthouse? Call him names, remind him of what a dog he is? If they don't, they should.
Just ignore Longfellow. He'll get bored without the attention and go away.
Speaking of Terry Bowden and his gimmicks--up at UNA they have the "Purple Reign." Their colors are Purple and Gold. Now, UNA is a GREAT football team and really doesn't need gimmicks. But the folks in my hometown are LOVING it--eating it up. The only thing they need up there is the lions. The live ones that they have.
I hated all that AUdacity crap. But remember when Tubs wanted Jordan-Hare to be 'The Jungle?" THAT was THE WORST!
The only time the color themes work is the first time they are done. GA did the black out against us. Only Penn State had done their white out. Those were the first ones I'd seen. After that, the "outs" didn't work. Well, it IS Halloween so it'll be fun to have something different.
Our kickoff coverage has been bad for a few years. We've just been able to overcome it. We just never have focused on special teams. We got lucky the year we won the SEC.
I remember that post too. Hopefully this kid will be ok. FSU fans thought it was hilarious that he came to Auburn. A few Bama fans that live here in T-town (Tallahassee) were pretty obnoxious about it too.
I hope to God he isn't bipolar because I am and it is hell. Seriously. But it is certainly treatable and if he is, then I hope his lifelong treatment is successful.
I'll tell you what happened.
We're 5-0. Nobody expected a lot from us. Beating the dog out of Miss St set us up. WV beat us on paper--we got the W though. Then we were the darlings of the sports media.
We beat TN at TN for God's sake. That guy I can't stand on ESPN that went to Pitt even said we were the biggest surprise of the year. We're in the top 25. This is AWESOME!!
Then the Tigers got too big for their britches. We didn't show up for Ark ready to play the whole game. Period. Notice how Ark nearly beat Florida? We always underestimate them. Plus, we have a bit of egg on our face since it was PETRINO that beat us.
Then the confidence blew out of the team like air out of a balloon. It seemed like we had more depth at the beginning of the season--at least on offense. I guess everyone is banged now.
Now, we tend to show up for LSU games. We've beaten them at home and we aren't afraid of Tiger Stadium at night. Our fans should probably wear hardhats so not to be injured by hurled Jack Daniels bottles. I don't think we'll be able to beat them but we'll give them a scare.
Our team is very emotional. I like that, but when they lose, it is catastrophic for them. Chizzer needs to keep the guys more focused. The Tigers were sharp and with it at the beginning. You could see it crumble at Ark and continue with Ky. I hope we can forget the last two games and take one game at a time.
BTW--UNA is about to be the #1 Div II team. Weren't we #1 with Terry Bowden in his first year with us? So two Alabama teams are #1 in the land. My brother is pretty happy about that--UNA grad and Tide Pride with a son who graduated from Bama.
My mother and many of her brothers, sisters and in-laws worked in mills from the 50's till the 90's when NAFTA took over. All those folks that worked in any factory (and still do) are some of the most dedicated people in the world. Not just to their jobs, but to their communities. Life is hard for them but they never complain. They just get on with it. I wish I could be like that.
Ok, I'm an Auburn fan and my dislike of Bama is immense. But COME ON Spurrier--a little piece of white tape to mark kicks? Somebody explain this to me--does it really help? I mean Bama is (gulp) not #1 and #2 in the polls because of white-freakin-tape to mark kicks. If y'all had been using it all along, you know good and well that Great Pumpkin and Tubby would have called you out a long time ago. Tiffin has missed a couple too so it evidently is not 100% effective. Heck, let us have some of that tape if it really does help!
Wait a minute.....Did Leigh's father Van use tape that year his kick beat us in the last minute--was it 85, I was there and can't remember? Well now, if he did, I want a rematch....LOL....

Manuel Diaz
May 27, 2014
ATHENS, Ga. --- The Georgia men's tennis team's 2014 recruiting class assembled by head coach Manuel Diaz and associate head coach Will Glenn has been ranked No. 2 in the nation by TennisRecruiting.net, the popular Junior tennis Web site announced this week.
The Bulldogs' incoming four-player class comes in second nationally behind only Stanford, and includes redshirt freshman Paul Oosterbaan as well as rookies Peter Bertran, Andy Martinez, and Wayne Montgomery.
Oosterbaan – a native of tennis hotbed Kalamazoo, Mich. – arrived on campus this January but has not yet competed for Georgia. His accomplishments include earning a wild card into the main draw at the 2013 U.S. Open by virtue of winning the boys 18s doubles title at the USTA National Championship, as well as capturing the Clay Court doubles title, the boys 16s Winter Nationals singles, and the USTA 18s National Open. He has been ranked as high as No. 8 nationally by TennisRecruiting.net during his Juniors career.
Bertran is a native of the Dominican Republic and has since relocated to the Peach State. He went undefeated as a sophomore and junior in high school, and has been ranked the No. 5 prospect in the state of Georgia. Last year, he won ITF tournaments in the Dominican Republic, Aruba, and Barbados, and earlier in 2014 he defeated former USC standout and six-time All-America Robert Farah in Davis Cup action.
A native of Atlanta, Martinez began competitive tournaments at the age of 12. He is a senior at Woodward Academy and trains at Tennis Academy of the South with Kurt Clemons. Rated a five-star recruit, Martinez is ranked in the top-75 in the senior class nationally and was the winner of the Southern Doubles Championship.
Montgomery is already in Athens for summer school, joining the Bulldogs from Johannesburg, South Africa. He has won multiple South African and African Junior titles in singles and doubles, and has represented South Africa internationally in numerous team and individual events during his career. He has been a member of the ITF junior touring teams each year since the age of 13, and also participated at the Junior Davis Cup in Mexico in 2010 and 2011. Montgomery reached a career high ITF U-18 world ranking of No. 7 in 2013, and has won ITF junior circuit tournaments in Gaborone, Port Elizabeth, East London, Montreal (doubles), Potchefstroom (singles and doubles), Traralgon (doubles), and Maryland (singles and doubles). He has reached the quarterfinals at the U.S. Open and the Australian Open as well as the doubles semifinals at Wimbledon.
The Tennis Recruiting Network and Solfire enlisted the aid of junior tennis experts to determine the top-ranked incoming classes. Reporters, national and international tournament directors, referees, ranking chairmen, and writers from across the country were involved in the voting process.
The SEC leads all conferences with six of the Top 25 recruiting classes - including four programs in the Top 6. Just behind Georgia at No. 2, South Carolina comes in at No. 3, followed by Kentucky at No. 5, Alabama at No. 6, Florida at No. 13, and Vanderbilt at No. 16. The ACC is second among conferences with five ranked recruiting classes.
The group of four will join a Bulldog squad that claimed the program's 37th Southeastern Conference title this spring, reaching the NCAA Championships round of 16 with an overall record of 18-8. Georgia loses two departing seniors in Garrett Brasseaux and Hernus Pieters.

LETTER: Aren't we now 'revenue neutral'?
Jun. 29, 2013 @ 04:59 AM
To the Editor:
Am I missing something? Don't the residents of Sanford pay both county and city property taxes?
As a county resident, the county commissioners are reducing "county taxes" by 3 cents, which would include the city residences. The city would be revenue neutral at 51 cents from recent property revaluations, but has decided to increase taxes by 3 cents to 54 cents. Doesn't this equate to a true "revenue neutral" position?
I'm an Independent, who seems to chuckle at those who look at the glass as half empty.

Corporate Finance - Payback Period
Payback Period
Payback period (PP) is the number of years it takes for a company to recover its original investment in a project, when net cash flow equals zero. In the calculation of the payback period, the cash flows of the project must first be estimated. The payback period is then a simple calculation.
Formula 11.10
PP = years full recovery + unrecovered cost at beginning of last year
cash flow in last year
The shorter the payback period of a project, the more attractive the project will be to management. In addition, management typically establishes a maximum payback period that a potential project must meet. When two projects are compared, the project that meets the maximum payback period and has the shortest payback period is the project to be accepted. It is a simplistic measure, not taking into account the time value of money, but it is a good measure of a project's riskiness.
Look Out!
For payback periods, the decision rules are as follows:
If payback period < the minimum payback, accept the project
If payback period > the minimum payback, reject the project
Example: Payback Period
Assume Newco is deciding between two machines (Machine A and Machine B) in order to add capacity to its existing plant. The company estimates the cash flows for each machine to be as follows:
Figure 11.2: Expected after-tax cash flows for the new machines
Calculate the payback period of the two machines using the above cash flows and decide which new machine Newco should accept. Assume the maximum payback period the company establishes is five years.
First it would be helpful to determine cumulative cash flow for the machine project. This is done in the following table:
Figure 11.3: Cumulative cash flows for Machine A and Machine B
Payback period for Machine A = 4 + 1,000 = 4.67
Payback period for Machine B = 2 + 0 = 2.00
Both machines meet the company's maximum payback period. Machine B, however, has the shortest payback period and is the project Newco should accept.
2. Discounted Payback Period
The one issue we mentioned with the payback period is that it does not take into account the time value of money, but the discounted payback period does.The discounted payback period discounts each of the estimated cash flows and then determines the payback period from those discounted flows.
Example: discounted payback period
Using our last example above, determine the discounted payback period for Machine A and Machine B, and determine which project Newco should accept. As calculated previously, Newco's cost of capital is 8.4%.
Figure 11.4: Discounted cash flows for Machine A and Machine B
Net Present Value (NPV) and the Internal Rate of Return (IRR)Answer:
Payback period for Machine A = 5 + 147 = 5.24
Payback period for Machine B = 2 + 262 = 2.22
Machine A now violates management's maximum payback period of five years and should thus be rejected. Machine B meets management's maximum payback period of five years and has the shortest payback period.

NORTHRIDGE, Calif. -
Complete 2010 Schedule in PDF Format
The Cal State Northridge women's soccer team has put together a challenging 2010 schedule, head coach Keith West announced Monday. The Matadors will play a total of 20 matches, highlighted by an Aug. 22 match against Portland that will be the debut of lights at Matador Soccer Field.
A project nearly a decade in the making, the Aug. 22 meeting with the Pilots will reintroduce the San Fernando Valley to nighttime Division I soccer. CSUN's home opener, the match is slated to start at 7 p.m.
"Playing under the lights, in front of the home crowd and family, is going to create a great atmosphere and is a large reason why these student-athletes compete in intercollegiate athletics," West said. "I believe these lights will put us on a new level, giving us the opportunity to showcase to the fans, school and community what we're all about."
In fact, the Matadors will play a total of seven home matches starting at 5 p.m. PT or later: Sept. 3 vs. Pepperdine (5 p.m.) Sept. 17 vs. Pennsylvania (7 p.m.), Sept. 27 vs. San Diego (7 p.m.), Oct 1 vs. UC Davis (7 p.m.), Oct. 17 vs. UC Riverside (6 p.m.) and Oct. 28 vs. Cal State Fullerton (7 p.m.).
Among the other highlights of the 2010 schedule are a total of six matches against five squads that participated in the 2009 NCAA Tournament. The Matadors will travel down the Interstate 405 to face UCLA on Sept. 5 and will also make a trip to College Station, Texas, to face Texas A&M on Sept. 19.
Northridge will also take trip to Las Vegas to face Kansas (Sept. 10) and UNLV (Sept. 12) in a preseason tournament. Other non-conference home matches include an Aug. 29 date with St. Joseph's (1 p.m.), and the season finale, a contest with Seattle University on Oct. 31 (1 p.m.).
"I like the balance and challenge of our schedule," West added. "I believe it will prepare us for a competitive league and set us up for success. The challenges are why you get into coaching at the highest level."
As a whole, Northridge's non-conference schedule of teams finished 2009 with a combined 126-84-23 record (.580). That record includes a non-conference match with UC Santa Barbara that will pit the Gauchos and Matadors against each other on Aug. 20 in Santa Barbara at 7 p.m.
In the Big West, the Matadors will play host to UC Davis, Pacific (Oct. 3, 1 p.m.), UCR and Fullerton. Northridge will travel for matches at UC Santa Barbara (Oct. 8, 7 p.m.), Cal Poly (Oct. 10, 1 p.m.), UC Irvine (Oct. 15, 7 p.m.) and Long Beach State (Oct. 24, 1 p.m.).
"I believe our conference will be even stronger in 2010 based on what I saw this past spring," West said. "I think we surprised some teams last year and I think we'll be even better in the fall. I think the title race is going to be wide open."
Last year, Northridge finished 10-10 overall, but posted a 6-2 mark in the Big West Conference to finish second in the league standings. That enabled the Matadors to host their first playoff game in school history.
Although the Matadors lost that game 3-2 to UC Santa Barbara, the eventual Big West Champions, West and his staff return a bevy of players from 2009's squad that have expectations noticeably higher around CSUN for 2010.
Among that group is senior Farryn Townley, who tied a school record with nine goals in 2009 en route to All-Big West First Team honors. Junior Heidi Farran also returns after scoring four goals in 2009 and earning All-Big West Honorable Mention accolades.
The team also returns the talents of senior Sonia Espitia, who posted a career-high six points and two goals in 2009 to earn All-Big West Second Team honors. Finally, West and Northridge return sophomore Cynthia Jacobo between the pipes in 2010.
Jacobo posted five-straight shutouts over league opponents to begin her career. That start helped her earn Big West Freshman of the Year honors and a place on the All-Big West Second Team. Junior Brielle Slepicoff is the fourth Matador to return in 2010 after earning All-Big West honors in her sophomore season.
"With the schedule and the lights, it's an exciting time at Northridge," West added. "These students come to CSUN for the challenges and these are experiences and memories they will cherish for the rest of their lives."

Loud and bright American tone.
The Eminence Patriot Screamin' Eagle 12" Guitar Speaker is a great club speaker for American blues and rock. Clear, articulate tone with screamin' top end and tight bass response. Perfect for a one, 2, or 4x12" open- or closed-back speaker cab. 50 RMS handling. 8 or 16 ohm impedance.
Eminence recommends the Screamin' Eagle for the Marshall MG412 cabinet, as a replacement for the Marshall MG 412, Fender FM 412 (16 Ohm) cabinets, and the Marshall MG50DFX & MG250DFX combo amplifiers. The Eminence Texas Heat 12" speaker is recommended as an alternate replacement to the above mentioned components.
