Latest EMRS voting intentions poll puts Tasmanian Liberal vote at 50 per cent and Labor at 23 per cent
- From: Mercury
- February 13, 2014
TASMANIANS still overwhelmingly support the Liberal Party and favour Will Hodgman as preferred premier, a new EMRS poll shows.
The latest polling, released this morning, shows Liberal Leader Mr Hodgman is still the preferred premier with 48 per cent of voters.
Premier Lara Giddings has dropped by one percentage point on the previous poll to 21 per cent.
The greatest difference on previous polls is the growth in the undecided vote, with 23 per cent of respondents unable to nominate which party they would support when first asked — a rise of six percentage points on November last year.
EMRS chief operations director Samuel Paske said with very little change noted since the last voting intentions poll in November, it appeared undecided voters were no closer to making up their mind ahead of the March 15 ballot.
"With almost a quarter of voters in what we would call the 'soft voter' category or yet to make up their mind, the remaining weeks of the election campaign will be critical as these Tasmanians evaluate party policy announcements and potential candidates in their respective electorates," Mr Paske said.
"After excluding these undecided voters, the latest EMRS State Voting Intentions Poll shows support for the Liberal Party at 50 per cent, the Labor Party recording 23 per cent support, the Greens at 17 per cent, while support for the Palmer United Party remained steady at 5 per cent."

david dobbin: "But Giddings has certainly left the door very sensibly open to another arrangement with the Greens." How so, I thought she'd said "no more deals with The Greens" Like she said in 2010 before the election, and then jumped straight into bed with The Greens to retain power along with all of the taxpayer funded trappings and accoutrements of parliament? You wouldn't be suggesting that she and Labor are lying again would you? By the way, still no pre-election Green policy revelations I see?
David Dobbin of Launceston Posted at 2:04 AM February 15, 2014
Lindon - you are doing a Pat. You make comment like 'selling their souls' to stay in power, yet you never explain how a government could be formed when the votes return MPs 10-10-5. Inevitably one of the two main parties will need three more votes in Parliament to form a government - how will they do that without some form of agreement with another party? You cannot keep banging on about Labor until you explain how a Tasmania government would be formed if voters give no party a majority. And William Spence - quite right you are! There are many ways to have an agreement that do not involve Ministers..... but if Labor only win, say 9 seats, and they have no Greens as Ministers, that would mean that ALL their MPs would be Ministers - not very sustainable or stable, or very good governance (especially if one of those was Brenton Best!). But Giddings has certainly left the door very sensibly open to another arrangement with the Greens. That is good, pragmatic politics, what I would expect serious politicians to do.
matt lyons of launceston Posted at 8:24 PM February 14, 2014
I support Pat Wilson's call to treat the 50% figure for the Liberals with respect. Now let's see what the next opinion poll shows...and perhaps Ms Wilson would like to offer commentary on the difference between the two results, if a difference is shown?

|Optimisation of vascular input and output functions in CT-perfusion imaging using 256(or more)-slice multidetector CT.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23192376 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the accuracy and reproducibility of CT-perfusion (CTP) by finding the optimal artery for the arterial input function (AIF) and re-evaluating the necessity of the venous output function (VOF). METHODS: Forty-four acute ischaemic stroke patients who underwent non-enhanced CT, CTP and CT-angiography using 256-slice multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) were evaluated. The anterior cerebral artery (ACA), middle cerebral artery (MCA), internal carotid artery (ICA) and basilar artery were selected as the AIF. Subsequently the resulting area under the time-enhancement curve of the AIF (AUC(AIF)) and quantitative perfusion measurements were analysed by repeated measures ANOVA and subsequently the paired t test. To evaluate reproducibility we examined if the VOF could be deleted by comparing the perfusion measurements using versus not using the VOF (paired t test). RESULTS: The AUC(AIF) and perfusion measurements resulting from the different AIFs showed significant group differences (all P < 0.0001). The ICA had the largest AUC(AIF) and resulted in the highest mean transient time (MTT) and lowest cerebral blood flow (CBF), whereas the basilar artery showed the lowest cerebral blood volume (CBV). Not using the VOF showed significantly higher CBV and CBF in 66 % of patients on the ipsilateral (P < 0.0001 and P = 0.007, respectively) and contralateral hemisphere (P < 0.0001 and P = 0.019, respectively). CONCLUSION: Selecting the ICA as the AIF and continuing the use of the VOF would improve the accuracy of CTP. KEY POINTS : • Perfusion imaging is an increasingly important aspect of multidetector computed tomography (MDCT). • Vascular input functions were evaluated for CT-perfusion using 256-slice MDCT. • Selecting different arterial input functions (AIFs) leads to variation in quantitative values. • Using the internal carotid artery for AIF provides optimal perfusion values. • Deleting the venous output function would be detrimental for validity.

There's no stone to be unturned,
it is right front of me,
now,I know, I had been fool,
all this while,
Am crying out loud,
but in my mind,
I think,
if my tears are worth it?
Seeing you again,
in the crowd,
I realize that,
your one of 'em,
I was no special,
just a girl,
falling for you,
who you've fooled,
You had me fooled me believing you,
coz, I trusted you,
you proved me wrong,
you are just one of 'em
I hope you dont,
fool some girl,
just as me,
who, you had going,
Wish you could realize,
the pain I endure,
when your cold stoned eyes,
look at me .

Richard, so true, bigotry exist everywhere but the worst bigotry is when a bigot with a pedigree certificate start screaming about the boos at the race winner at Monza all out of his hurt at the end result of the race.
At Silverstone the most telling moment was not when Lulu's left rear exploded, it was when SV coasted to a halt, the significance was not the car failing him, it was the reaction of the crowd, their roaring, whooping, crowing delight at such bad luck made for a pretty undignified spectacle, had it been MW the crowd would have been sympathetic, it was vitriolic towards SV, make no mistake, this was personal, it's a manifestation of the pleasure found in having a new figure to hate. To be continued.

They've been to Cincinnati, San Francisco, too, and finally on Feb. 6, the fake taggers will come to the Orange County Museum of Art, where they'll spend three months in a window as part of the traveling "Beautiful Losers: Contemporary Art and Street Culture" show—as if they've broken in to paint the place up.
Like the yob in the Specials song, they're just a stereotype; they don't really exist. They're mannequins—built by artists Barry McGee (a.k.a. Twist), Josh Lazcano and ex-Dogtowner Kevin Ancell with black clothing and robotic painting arms that endlessly pretend to spray. And they're supposed to symbolize that—just as with hot rods and custom cars at Laguna Art Museum in '93—surf and skate art has arrived.
Anarchy will never be the same, except it hasn't been the same for a long time. Skateboardercas and surfers have always been artistic; the scene's origins go back at least to '60s-era Dogtown—Venice. It's just taken this long for two major Orange County shows.
"Losers" is the main attraction; the accompanying book/catalog has been out a couple of years, but the folks at RVCA (pronounced ruca) Clothing in Costa Mesa are putting on their own piggyback "New Image Art Show"—separate from OCMA, but featuring some of the same artists, plus quite a few cats who didn't make the OCMA cut. McGee, for instance, is in both shows; Ancell is only showing at RVCA—not counting the robot arms he made. Why? Low sales figures, maybe, or a low profile.
"It's just the artists that didn't get sponsored by a skateboard company or for whatever reason didn't get the connection to the museums," says RVCA's Christian Jacobs, massaging his unruly shock of skater hair and crediting "Losers" curator Aaron Rose with the concept. "It was his idea when 'Beautiful Losers' opened to have not just a main show, but smaller, sister shows. These are the real losers. I think, the uglier losers."
But ugly is subjective—and somehow, skaters are alternative-rock pretty now, like their art; like the Chili Peppers. How did they get cute? The two shows differ in content and scope, but share a mission: both show real art by real skateboarders and surfers who are't corporate-owned. They don't paint in their spare time or ride on the weekends. They ride all the time—like the guy you knew in high school who hand-decorated his skateboard, then wore it out 'cause he actually used it for transportation.
There's a singleminded dedication to painting, graphics, sculpture and photography expressed here which leaves no doubt that one day, even artists who are comparative unknowns now—such as RVCA's George Thompson—will be collected and hotly discussed . . . if they're not already.
"Losers" wins your heart by sitting on you so you can't breathe; suffocating in art is not a bad way to go. Here are all-encompassing photos by Craig R. Stecyk III and Glen E. Friedman that were as self-referential as influential; colorful abstracts by Thomas Campbell; compelling, annoying graffiti by KAWS and others; complex paintings and artworks from Ed Templeton; 3D sculptures by Barry McGee; striking native-influenced artworks by McGee's late wife, Margaret Kilgallen; even works that took the next step toward mass consumption, such as Geoff McFetridge's "Virgin Suicides" album cover.
"Beautiful Losers" makes RVCA's "New Image Art Show" instantly a microcosm. It has all these elements—an eerie mobile by Alex Knost; prophetic paintings from Kevin Ancell and George Thompson; scene-defining photos by Deanna Templeton; sad little monsters by her husband, Ed; and surly truckers from McGee. It's just smaller. And while both are being heavily fliered, somehow, the RVCA show feels underground, cooler, more current. Perhaps that's because "Losers" is a couple of years old, or maybe it's because you don't expect a company that makes skate clothing to show art. The smaller size of "New Image" also puts a sharper focus on its art—and holding the show in the same building as works by people such as Russ Pope and graffiti artist Tyke, who aren't even a part of this show but are in the RVCA collection—sparks it all.
A viewer leaves with the impression that "Losers" is the smoke, RVCA the fire.
Minnesotan George Thompson, now a resident of warmer Newport Beach, gets real technical with his art, says his boss, RVCA's Christian Jacobs. It doesn't show. Thompson soft-pedals his graffiti origins, but they bleed through his informally composed cityscapes: part aerosol, part paintbrush, pretty and eerie at the same time. Gotta be the skulls. Thompson, 31, disavows any style: "I'm kind of always evolving," he says. Being iconic: sticking with one style, theme or character would be easier - but "I want to make it exciting." George Thompson shows at RVCA.
Barry McGee is skate art today; unclear why 'cause people say the San Franciscan is a nice guy and not a sell-out and all. Maybe it's the write-ups in all the magazines and the pint glasses on eBay with those heads on 'em. McGee does many kinds of art - among them the sculptures in OCMA's "Beautiful Losers," but he's known for his drawings of floating, grizzled, cap-wearing heads like this one in RVCA's lobby. Think of the scroungiest Teamster you've ever seen, all of them. Barry McGee shows at OCMA and RVCA.

Ecuadorian president Rafael Correa, who gave a speech on Sunday, will return to UN's podium on Monday to intervene on the Assembly's general debate that celebrates its 70th anniversary.
Quito, May 14th, (Andes) – The congresswoman of the current ruling party, Gabriela Rivadeneira, was elected as president of Ecuador's Congress in an unprecedented success in the history of Ecuador's legislative body. Rivadeneira achieved 107 votes in her favor.
The congresswoman from Guayas, Maria Alejandra Vicuna, was who nominated Gabriela Rivadeneira for Alianza PAIS. The opponent, Lourdes Tiban, nominated Jose Acacho.
Rivadeneira arrived to Congress leading the party of the Alianza PAIS movement and winning 3,498,379 votes. She served as vice-mayor of Otavalo in the period from 2006-2008; city councilor from 2004-2008; vice-prefect of Imbabura from 2009-2011; and provincial governor of Imbabura from between 2011 and 2012.
According to a publication by the newspaper, El Telegrafo, Gabriela is married to writer Luis Flores, who she has known for 15 years. They have two children, Paul (5) and Martin (3). She is the oldest of four siblings, Lizeth (25), Tatiana (23), and Pedro (17).
The legislative majority, Alianza PAIS, a few days ago, selected the dignitaries who would lead Congress for the period 2013-2017.
In addition to Gabriela Rivadeneira, Rossana Alvarado will be the first vice-president, and Marcela Aguinaga, the second vice-president. Rosanna Alvarado was a congresswoman in the previous period and was reelected in the general elections on February 17th. Meanwhile, Marcela Aguinaga will exercise her role as minister of Environment.
Congress has a total of 55 women, which is to say, four out of every ten Ecuadorian members of congress are women (40.14%).

Figure S6. Majority of outlier peaks intersect with similarly high-ranking extAUC values in other populations. Each population's chromosome's extAUC values were used as input to R's ecdf function to substitute a rank value for each locus's extAUC value. For each outlier peak, locus positions were extracted, the maximum observed extAUC rank value for those positions in each of the other populations determined, and the distribution of those rank values summarized using boxplot statistics. Outlier points are randomly jittered from left to right to reduce overlap.

Nokia recalls 14 million phone chargers
updated 02:25 pm EST, Mon November 9, 2009
Nokia to replace faulty BYD phone chargers
Nokia on Monday announced it has started a replacement program to exchange about 14 million chargers made by BYD for Nokia as a precautionary measure. Three charger models made between June 15th and August 9th of 2009 can potentially shock people when they're plugged in as the top plastic cover can detach from the body and expose the internal components.
To ease the process of the free exchange process, Nokia set up a dedicated website (above) for owners of Nokia handsets with the affected chargers. Nokia is not aware of any incidents or injuries resulting from the faulty chargers, and BYD says it will cover the costs associated with the replacement of the chargers.

Lol I know this is a weird request, but could anyone recommend a well-fitting slim chino brand that also has their pants in dark maroon color? I have been looking for a pair for a while now with no luck. I know this isn't really Diesel-related, but I figure some people here might have some suggestions. Any input appreciated
something like this that fit doesn't suck.
posted here because the other sections are kinda dead.. hope that's okay..

It took a lot to compete with the banner headlines of World War II in 1944, but sex on campus at LSU was a sure bet.
That was the case for readers this day, who learned that an 18-year-old coed, Gloria Jean Heller, "author of a leaflet on sex and campus kissing," was ordered to leave the campus by college President W.B. Hatcher, and that the student council and general student body was ready to revolt over his action.
Heller, who was pictured over two columns in a Hollywood-starlet-style pose, said she planned to "stick around" until efforts to reinstate her were complete. ...

By taking a gravestone photo you have been very helpful in clearing things up :) So I am hoping you will find the time to move your photo from the wrong memorial Find A Grave#42220092 (with middle name Marianne) to the right memorial Find A Grave#41741406 (with middle name Eva). If you are to busy to do it & give your permission, I will be happy to help by copying it over.

Elizabeth McHugh @ Queen of Heaven
In September, 2010, you fulfilled a photo request in the memorial for John P McHugh (Find A Grave #57811891) in the Queen of Heaven Catholic Church Cemetery. I have added a memorial for his wife, Elizabeth (Norris) McHugh, whose name is etched on the crypt marker along with his in the photo which you posted. May I impose upon you to claim my photo request and add that photo to her memorial?
Also, may I have your permission to use the photo in an offsight family tree?
Thanks ...

Indiana Superintendent of Education Glenda Ritz holds a news conference regarding her differences with the State Board of Education and Gov. Mike Pence at the Statehouse on Wednesday, Nov. 13, 2013. Ritz abruptly called an end to a morning board meeting as tensions escalated. Charlie Nye / The Star.
- Filed Under
The State Board of Education is gearing up for pushback against its chairwoman, state superintendent of public instruction Glenda Ritz.
At least three board members have requested an emergency meeting to shake out the procedural differences that have hobbled the board for weeks - and brought to the fore a political battle between Ritz and Gov. Mike Pence for control of Indiana's education policy.
Among education board members' complaints: Ritz, as chair, has blocked their motions and attempts to add items to meeting agendas. ...

COVINGTON - State Rep. Doug Holt, R-Social Circle, has announced he is running for a third term representing the state's 112th District, which includes portions of Newton and Morgan counties."I still remain focused on assisting the area with the rapid growth we're experiencing," Holt said. "It has slowed down a bit, of course, but there's still need for keeping the school system up to speed with the number of new students and providing local government with the resources necessary to deal with transportation challenges and that sort of thing." Holt said he plans to continue with the platform he set when he first ran for office - assisting local governments with promoting quality growth. In 2007, Holt saw passage of the Fair Annexation Act, a bill he had worked on for two years. The act creates a system that subjects opposed annexations to binding arbitration. Now, Holt has his sights set on the interpretation of property-rezoning law in the courts, a problem he said has resulted in rezoning denials "being unreasonably overturned." Holt wants to establish as law the presumption that county zoning decisions are valid and should be given judicial deference. He also wants to codify a two-part test for reviewing local zoning decisions, emphasizing the irrelevance of the higher value of property after rezoning. "It sort of falls back to the same issues that swirled around for the annexation bill. I'm a strong believer in property rights, but for everybody, not just for folks who can afford a high-powered lawyer to get their way," Holt said. "When you have a situation where rezoning is forced through against a county or city's wishes and violates the land use plan, what about the property rights of the people who live in the vicinity of that rezoning? That's what I'm out to protect." Holt, 44, was born in Cleveland, Ohio. He moved to Newton County in 1995. Holt has a bachelor of science degree in economics from Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Penn. He is the founder and president of Newton Computing Corporation, a software and consulting firm. Holt is a member of the First United Methodist Church of Covington, the Madison-Morgan Cultural Center, the Madison-Morgan Conservancy, Smart Growth Newton County and Newton County Arts Association. He and his wife, Julie, a media specialist at West Newton Elementary School, have one son, Ray. "I'm very grateful to the many kind, hardworking folks who deserve the credit for making this campaign successful so far and who have continued to offer their deeply appreciated support," Holt said. The 2008 primary is July 15. The General Election is Nov. 4. Crystal Tatum can be reached at email@example.com.

Please let me tactfully protest. The submission by Vance W. Torbert III titled "Room D820" (March 29 Weekend Perspectives) purports to be a poem. It is not. It lacks rhyme, rhythm, poetic form, imagistic diction. It is a dramatic little narrative, a prose paragraph lined to mimic free verse.
Dear Rev. Torbert, try a sonnet, a pair of quatrains or at least a limerick.

I have watched with interest the dysfunction within the Salisbury city government. It is frustrating and embarrassing for us all. I strongly encourage the citizens of Salisbury to vote for Jake Day for City Council.
As a lifelong resident of this area, a local businessman and former County Council member, I believe Day offers a vision and leadership which is sorely needed.
I have known Day and his family for many years. I know his passion for Salisbury, his ability to lead and his willingness to work and communicate with people. He offers us leadership that will compliment all genuinely interested parties to define a vision for Salisbury.
Day makes things happen, as his military record will attest. He will provide a favorable atmosphere and help open doors for locating new businesses to Salisbury.
Day has the education and specific professional experience to chart a course for Salisbury's growth and development. His experience with other Eastern Shore communities' growth planning processes has brought him positive recognition from the state and, more importantly, from the business community.
I encourage you to vote for Day for Salisbury City Council.

If anybody even noticed, I took off the CAPTCHA thing before you submit comments. I found that it wasn't really doing too great of a job and it was more of a hassle than anything else. I guess spammers are either real people or just really intelligent machines since they seem to get past the CAPTCHA thing just fine. Hmm. Well, Akismet is doing a decent job at least.
David Blaine is an idiot. After his botched attempt to hold his breath for 9 minutes in a spherical aquarium at Lincoln Center this past year, David Blaine wants to, yet again, put his life in danger. Except this time, he wants to escape from shackles while suspended above New York City. Oh yeah, this will take place next week, when everybody will be eating Thanksgiving dinners and not really caring whether or not he successfully completes this stunt. Yay. -_-
Hmm, it's very odd that Wikipedia has absolutely nothing about David Blaine's underwater breath-holding stunt…
Joyce and Ethan keep telling me to watch Lost, which, I do intend to. However, I can't help but keep stumbling upon writing from angry viewers of the show who are sick and tired of the plot just going in circles. It seems as if Lost was never meant to be a long-running show, but because of its success and because of greedy network executives (I'm assuming), the show has somehow been prolonged, forcing its writers to come up with retarded plots and countless mini-plots. I can't wait to watch the show though–the first two seasons at least.
This looked too fun not to post, so here's how you can make an image like the one above using satellite photos of buildings that look like letters. You can then send it out as an e-greeting (or geo-greeting…GAY). Hah, anyway, do what you want with it.
Robots that are "conscious" (so to speak) and aware of themselves are now possible. Asimov's "future" doesn't look very far off!
Scientists said on Thursday they created a brainy, four-legged robot resembling a starfish that can sense damage to its body and, on its own, think up a way to recover.
Researchers Hod Lipson and Victor Zykov of Cornell University and Josh Bongard of the University of Vermont made a robot that observed its own motion using built-in sensors in its joints and then generated its own concept of itself, or at least its physical structure, in its internal computer.
Lipson said the robot used various movements of its joints, first to generate hypotheses and then to formulate an accurate conception of itself.
The researchers then tested the robot's ability to adapt to new situations — in this case injury — by shortening one of its legs. "The robot knows something's wrong," Lipson said.
Animals can compensate for injury by changing movements, like limping to favor an injured leg. Machines can be programmed to react to a problem in a certain way. But when they are damaged in unexpected ways, they usually are doomed.
This plucky robot responded by generating on its own a new concept of its structure, accurately sensing it had been altered, and then devising a new way to walk using a different gait to compensate for the injury.
The robot's smarts, awareness of itself and ability to adapt on its own separates it from its mechanical brethren.
This could be really cool and really not cool at the same time. But because it's robots, I think it's cool. I love robots. And just in case the robots do eventually get too smart and start a robot uprising, I'll be glad that there's already a book out that considers that idea, and with it, we can all be saved from a robot uprising.
AHHHH! Snow Patrol and Ok Go are playing TOGETHER at Madison Square Garden on March 26 (Mon) and 27 (Tues)! Tickets are $40, which is a bit pricey compared to what I usually pay for live concert tickets, but I guess it pays for itself since the venue is Madison Square Garden. I've never been there, but I think this would be an awesome concert to go to in order to get myself familiar with it. Anybody up to go with me? Tell me soon! I don't want these to be sold out!
Not to be skeptical or anything, but I find myself wondering whether or not this is an affective way to evangelize. I often find myself thinking that this is doing more to alienate Christians from the rest of society than it is to actually get them to believe anything a Christian might be saying. I don't know. Anybody think about that?
And did anybody see this on Yahoo! News as well? A cat gave birth to dogs! Or at least what appear to be just very ugly cats. That mom cat is such a whore! HAR HAR HAR! Mating with a dog! HAHAHAHAHA!
I've already tried Google Maps' click-to-call feature and I can say without a doubt that it works–and works mighty well! This is so awesome that it's free! This probably means that for those of us who can access the internet on our phones, we no longer have to remember or write down a business phone number. We just let Google do the work for us. Oh, and did I mention that this service is ABSOLUTELY FREE OF CHARGE (not including your usual phone service plan). Neat!
This one's for Ashley, who needs (or wants, rather) something to cover her walls in her apartment. Enjoy! This sounds like a pretty easy project. I might do this in my new room…whenever I actually move in. [via]
Alright, I'm off to Daniel Park's wedding! Should be fun. Talk to you all soon!

Stephen Hammond, the Pastor at Mosaic of Arlington, wears a lot of hats and plays a powerful role in strengthening the Arlington community.
"He loves to have fun. At home, there's always laughter — on the baseball field, at church, everywhere," said his wife LaNette. "He's passionate about his family and about God and about baseball. It all overflows into everything that he does."
Aside from his Pastoral duties, he also works with students in need of guidance and support at Arlington High School.
For his efforts, we honor Stephen Hammond as this week's KRLD Community Hero.

Samsung announces HMX-F90 camcorder for UK release
updated 08:06 am EST, Thu November 22, 2012
Video camera includes one touch social sharing, 52x optical zoom
Samsung is adding to its extensive range of camcorders with the HMX-F90. The simple-to-use and lightweight digital video camera has a 5-Megapixel CMOS sensor capable of 720p HD video capture, as well as a One Touch share button for faster uploads to social networks and video hosting sites.
Capable of recording MP4 video with AAC audio at 1280x720 resolution at 30 frames per second under NTSC, it can also record at what is claimed to be a Standard Definition resolution, in both 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios. Still images can be caught as JPEGs, 1600x1200 in size. The 52x optical zoom using the f/2.1 lens extends to a 70x digital "Intelli-zoom," while Hyper DIS image stabilization helps reduce handheld camera shake. Built-in functions include time-lapse recording, mid-recording pause, and a refreshed Smart Background Music option.
While a price and street date for the UK and Europe has not been revealed as of yet, the HMX-F90 is likely to be out in time for Christmas. A US release has not been confirmed, but the appearance of NTSC as well as PAL video recording suggests it could still cross the Atlantic.

The meeting was called to order at 7:00 p.m. by President Joyce Lynch. Additionally present were; Tim Brown, Vice President; Dawn Davies, Outreach Chair; Mark Lyon, Treasurer; Jim Spigelmire, Communications Chair; Jim Linn, Member Services; Lauren Rogers, Secretary; Vic Ellisor and Mike Krzywonski, Members at Large, Jack Estes, ALCOR. A quorum was present.
Motion to approve minutes of July 31 made by Dawn Davies, seconded by Jim Spigelmire.
Tim Brown: October meeting presenter will be Terry Phillips. Future presentation; Michael Brown (How I Killed Pluto and Why It Deserved It.)
Mark Lyon: About half and half, people are paying online with PayPal and cash/check; we have about 140 paid members right now. Budget will be posted on the website. Scope/equipment sales will be discussed/prepared by Vic.
Jim Spigelmire: Tweaking will still be done on the logo colors before we print the banners. We will be revamping the links page to specifically recognize "friends of AAS." We have been approved for the Google non-profit program account for web hosting/email/etc. We are still moving some of the recurring items to blog format.
Equipment (report by Joyce): COE lock combinations. Jim Chandler has a tool we can use to change them so that we don't have to buy new locks. We will email the new combination to all paid members in October or November, and it will be posted on the member side of the website. Jim S. will work with Darron S. on this. When the observatory lock is changed, that combination will not be emailed out to all trained members; that combination will have to be requested from Darin. Sale of excess equipment: Vic, Darron and Mark will list the items on Cloudy Nights/Astromart/eBay. We are registered with the eBay non-profit site. Anything that is at Wild Basin will stay there.
Jim Linn: There will not be a Practical Astronomy meeting this week, but the member services committee will meet to talk about the action plan for future PA meetings. Mark Lyon has a form to use for the telescope loaner plan. As Terry started the plan, he and member services will discuss this at the committee meeting and get back to the EC next month.
Dawn Davies: Outreach and communications will work together on prices and a plan for the merchandising. For the most part, we would like to have people place orders online and have merchandise be shipped directly to them. Friday's meeting should have a good turnout; there's a lot of publicity out there. Wild Basin this coming Sunday, CenTex is a two-day event, but we may consider making it a one-day event in the future or perhaps a one day public and one day members only night. Members only night is the 24th, and Women in Science Day is on the 25th at the Wildflower Center. October: 1st star party with central market and Austin Planetarium will be there for Astronomy Day. World Space Week is the 4th through the 10th. 8th is Observe the Moon night on the Pfuger bridge. The holiday party is December 9th at Wild Basin. Oct/Nov/Dec meetings - food drive for fire victims. Wild Basin is ready for us to discuss dates for next year. Cap on attendance is currently 60, though we may consider reducing this in cases of extreme heat/cold since we will have fewer scopes available. Connect-to-clubs directory has contacted us and placed us on their site. Armadillo will charge us $40 to set up our logo (2 colors), $4-6 per t-shirt (depending on color), and we will look at totes. We can order banners/bumper stickers/ball caps/light jackets through them as well.
Old business: Austin Planetarium. Jim S. moves that we bring up the $1000 contribution to corporate sponsorship at the GA meeting. We need to stress that this may be the future home of our meetings. We can entertain IDA donations as well, but this is a different discussion. Jack seconds the motion.
New business: COE – they are asking of notification of when someone fro AAS is there (regarding security, emergency contact, etc.) Proposal is that we will agree to check in at the lodge or by calling in; COE will observe dark sky protocol when they know someone is on the field. This will be discussed at the partners meeting on the 21st. Other concerns that will be brought up: camping on the field and manning the observatory. We need an agreement for which party is responsible for what.
Agenda for 9/9/11: Vote on bylaws change, Planetarium proposal. Presentation of AL awards.
Next EC meeting 10/3/11.
Adjourned at 8:45 p.m.
Supporting members of the Astronomical League, Night Sky Network and International Dark Skies Association.
For any questions or more information about AAS - please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.

On first glance, Porgy and Bess looks like the tale of a perpetual sucker. The crippled beggar Porgy, living in an impoverished South Carolina hamlet, falls for Bess, the most shunned woman in town, a coquette who runs with a jealous meathead. Due to Porgy being the only person who'll let her stay at his house, the mismatched pair gets together, yet the woman retains a wandering eye. But Porgy puts up with all, even when she runs to New York when he's out of town. Instead of throwing up his hands, he takes up his crutch and starts the journey north.
However, as Charles Newell's excellent production at Court makes clear, there's something astoundingly human about this tale. George Gershwin's magnum opus showcases love and forgiveness in its treatment of Porgy and Bess' relationship. Titular characters aside, the opera also delves into how a community copes with hardship. Even when those hardships are as insidious and gigantic as racism, poverty, and natural disaster.
Out of the millions of debates spurred by this show, easily one of the stupidest is if it should be classified as an opera or musical. Newell and music director Doug Peck took the best of both genres. I'd say the show is about 90% singing, keeping many of Gershwin's recitatives. But they aren't afraid to throw in a few spoken lines when a character needs to drop a truth bomb without the flourish of music. Newell also chopped down the supporting townsfolk of Catfish Row, so the stage isn't flooded with actors with one line roles. It also makes the whole strong ensemble memorable.
Newell's envisioning of this controversial tale adds a vibrancy and immediacy to the octogenarian opera. John Culbert's off-white set invokes a weathered Carolina beach house, which goes well with Jacqueline Firkins' breezy white costumes. Stark as it may seem, the design has its fare share of breathtaking surprises. Peck also tweaks the arrangements to great effect, adding some great traditional Gullah drum breaks as well as haunting stripped down acapella numbers.
While initially shunned, Porgy and Bess has seen lots of love from opera houses around the world (including a production at the Lyric in 2008). These productions promise grandiose sets and superstar vocals, with the plot lagging behind as an afterthought. That's not the case here, where the plot (based on DuBose Heyward's 1926 novel) is the main selling point. With Newell's minimalist take, nearly all of the storytelling responsibility falls to the cast. They deliver with aplomb, searching the story's intricacies and themes alongside us in the audience. I already had chills when Harriet Nzinga Plumpp warbled the first few notes of "Summertime."
Todd M. Kryger's hulking performance as Porgy is just the right blend of majesty and vulnerability, and Alexis J. Rogers correctly portrays a Bess torn by love and lust. But the real jewel here is the supporting cast. Bethany Thomas as the pious Serena steals the show with her wickedly expressive singing style. She shreds right through the heart of "My Man's Gone Now." Sean Blake's slick Sporting Life, the neighborhood dope dealer, is a similar delight. His rendition of "It Ain't Necessarily So" drips with fun—it's clear he's having a great time up there.
Court boasts that this production is scrubbed clean of the racist smudges that have dogged Porgy and Bess from its opening night in 1935. I don't know if I completely agree with that—much of the music still leans towards Europe instead of Africa. But Porgy and Bess is an American treasure, a spunky musical journey that combines stodgy Old World opera with the uniquely American creations of jazz, gospel, and blues. Newell's production is a treasure in itself, grabbing this overly-familiar piece ("Summertime" is one of the most covered pop song in the world) and thrusting it into relevance.

Review: Aida (Drury Lane Theatre)
A solid production of flawed Elton John/Tim Rice musical
|Drury Lane Theatre presents
|Music by Elton John, Lyrics by Tim Rice
Book by Linda Woolverton, with R. Falls and D. H. Hwang
Directed and Choreographed by Jim Corti
at Drury Lane Theatre, Oakbrook Terrace (map)
through May 29 | tickets: $35-$46 | more info
Reviewed by Oliver Sava
When Egyptian captain Radames (Jared Zirilli) captures the beautiful Nubian princess Aida (Stephanie Umoh), the two fall in love despite the war between their countries, and are forced to choose between their political duties and their affections for each other. Elton John and Tim Rice adapt Verdi's classic opera Aida through the lens of a late '90s Disney animated feature, candy-coating the tragic tale of two star-crossed lovers with family-friendly pop-rock that occasionally detracts from the emotional life of the story. Yet despite the musical's problems, Jim Corti directs a sharp production with a cast of strong singers and dancers that perform the material cleanly, but could use some more passion. Using the influence of ancient Egyptian art, Corti creates images on stage through the actors posing and positioning in profile, like this painting:
While it's a nice effect, it's also representative of the production's largest problem: stiffness that prevents the beauty of the music from truly taking off. The actors perform the music with precision, but there are times when it feels like they're holding back, which could partly be because of the imbalanced musical material.
The ballads have a similar emotional resonance as John/Rice's Lion King work, but whereas that musical has a unifying musical sound, Aida's score essentially becomes a musical journey through the different stages of Elton John's musical career. Tim Rice pushes the plot with his lyrics, but there are times when John's score seems mismatched with the action on stage, mostly during the first act. The show's fist number is sung by Amneris (Erin Mosher), the daughter of the Pharoah (Nicholas Foster) and Radames' arranged bride, and Mosher's powerful voice is pitch-perfect, with her dignified presence befitting the character's initial introduction as the story's narrator. Then the show transitions into the Rent-lite "Fortune Favors The Brave" as Ramades belts over inspirational power chords while Nubian women are pillaged in the background. It's great music for a lease-burning, but not so much for an act of war. It gets worse when Radames' father Zoser (Darren Matthias) reveals his plot to usurp the Pharoah's throne in "Another Pyramid," a groan-inducing reggae meets Tumbleweed Connection number that turns into a goofy dance fight. Thankfully, that's the worst number in the show and happens early, but it's also not the best way to start a musical.
As the musical progresses, it becomes clear that Elton John's music shows the differences between Egypt in Nubia through the styling of their songs. Egyptians have the classic rock 'n roll of John's early years, while the Nubians utilize the gospel-tribal fusion of The Lion King, but there's still a strong disconnect between numbers. "My Strongest Suit," where Amneris does her best Tina Turner impression, and "The Gods Love Nubia," a stirring tribute by a downtrodden Nubian people – they don't sound like they belong in the same show. This is mostly a problem in the first act, and as the two groups begin to combine in act two, the music gains a stronger focus.
The two female leads both showcase stunning vocals, but while their singing is wonderfully expressive, they suffer from that aforementioned stiffness, particularly Umoh in the title role. Aida is a free spirit that has always felt confined, and she is given the opportunity to escape through song, yet Umoh is locked in place when she sings. She relies on her voice to do the heavy lifting, and despite being a powerful instrument, the image she portrays physically doesn't match up. This prevents the chemistry between Ramades and Aida from really exploding, as Zarilli is forced to give more without ever getting much in return. The cast proves that they're skilled performers, but there's a lack of freedom in their technique that translates as restraint, a dangerous flaw for a show like Aida that relies on spectacle.
Despite the production's flaws, fans of Aida will find much to love about Drury Lane's production. The music is well performed, with crisp staging and choreography from Corti, who incorporates tribal dance into the standard Broadway footwork. Like a lost Disney cartoon put on stage, Aida lacks the gravitas of the original opera, but the crowd-pleasing score turns the tragic story into a family-friendly rock musical sure to please fans of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Stephen Schwartz.

REVIEW: Spamalot (Drury Lane)
Drury Lane's 'Spamalot' is a merry night of dancing and singing!
|Drury Lane Theatre presents
|Book and Lyrics by Eric Idle
Music by John Du Prez
Directed by William Osetek

through March 6 | tickets: $31-$45 | more info
Reviewed by Allegra Gallian
Monty Python began as a British comedy group that created the television show Monty Python's Flying Circus. Ensemble members included Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, and Michael Palin. The success of the show led to feature films including "Monty Python and the Holy Grail," which is loosely based on the legend of King Arthur and his knights of the round table. With its witty and sometimes absurdist humor, Monty Python became a cultural phenomenon and "Holy Grail" was the basis for the musical Spamalot.
The set for Spamalot at Drury Lane Theatre resembles a traditional castle, with a castle gate center stage flanked by large wooden castle doors on other side, surrounded by stone bricks and gated windows. As the show progresses, scene changes are seamless and quick, never disrupting the momentum or action of the show.
Spamalot opens with an historian (Jackson Evans) explaining the history of Britain. He's initially both relatable and charming, instantly pulling the audience into the action. The story the historian relates then comes to life as King Arthur (David Kortemeier) enters. Arthur is searching for knights for his round table and is traveling throughout England in search of them. He puts together what seems like somewhat of a motley crew consisting of Sir Lancelot (John Sanders), Sir Robin (Adam Pelty), Sir Galahad (Sean Allan Krill) and Sir Bedevere (Bradley Mott).
All of the actors are fully charismatic and bring a ton of characterization to their parts: Robin (Pelty) is sweet and funny with his fear of actual fighting. Galahad (Krill) is charming but not irritating with his pretty boy looks and demeanor. Lancelot (Sanders) is entertaining with his tough boy act to hide his hidden interests and Bedevere (Mott) works well to round out to the cast.
Not only is the acting stellar, but the singing is strong and clear and the music is just fun. Each actor's range is suited to their character, allowing their singing talents to really shine. This is especially the case with The Lady of the Lake (Gina Milo). Milo's voice is stunning and powerful, and her ability to hit so many runs in the music is captivating. The only minor complaint is that, on occasion, vibratos in the cast are a bit too heavy.
As a show with a triple threat, the dancing is also well choreographed and shows of the dancing talents of the cast. Minus a few missed landings and mishaps, the dancing is quite spectacular, especially Patsy's tap number (Matthew Crowle) during "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life." It's clear that Crowle has a talent for it and he shows it off spectacularly.
Once the crew is assembled, they are given a task directly from God: find the Holy Grail. With this task at hand, the group, led by Arthur, goes in search of the Grail. Encountering various other knights and obstacles, the action flows quickly with a lively energy, pulling our attention towards the stage. The actors play up the comedy, doing well with the laugh lines and the hilarity of the writing.
Spamalot is a fun-filled, hilarious show that fits for anyone who loves Monty Python and the tale of the Holy Grail. Highly recommended!
|Rating: ★★★½
Spamalot plays at Drury Lane Theatre, 100 Drury Lane, Oak Brook, IL, through March 6. Tickets are $31 to $45 with lunch/dinner packages ranging from $45.75 to $68. Student and senior prices available. Ticket can be purchased through the box office by calling 630-530-0111.
REVIEW: Ragtime (Drury Lane Oakbrook)
Drury Lane scores big with epic musical "Ragtime"
|Drury Lane Oakbrook presents
|Based on the novel by E.L. Doctorow
by Terrance McNally (book), Stephen Flaherty (music), Lynn Ahrens (lyrics)
directed/choreographed by Rachel Rockwell
at Drury Lane Theatre, Oakbrook (map)
through May 23 (more info)
By Katy Walsh
'What can happen in a year?' Father's question is an expectation that life is simple and predictable.
The reality is birth, death, emancipation, persecution, obsession, syncopation. In 1906, the regularity in life takes unexpected turns as Drury Lane Oakbrook presents Ragtime The Musical. The show focuses on the lives of three groups: WASPs, blacks, and immigrants. In the New York suburbs, a wealthy family breaks the monotony with wild excursions and celebrity stalking. In Harlem, a successful black piano player decides to search for his lost love. Just off the boat, an Jewish immigrant artist and his daughter arrive with nothing but optimistic anticipation. Three distinctly different rhythms unexpectedly intersect to create a new tune. Ragtime celebrates a year in American history by paralleling the adaption of ragtime music with socio-economic changes of the time period. The results are a stunning history lesson intertwined with melodies of hope and change.
Under the skillful direction and choreography of Rachel Rockwell, the tempo never misses a beat. Rockwell strikes all the right notes with this multi-talented cast. Quentin Earl Darrington (Coalhouse) is the powerhouse of emotional range in song and act. His tune changes throughout the show – regret, love, vengeance. Darrington connects the audience with his story based on heart wrenching hope. His "The Wheels of a Dream" duet with Valisia LeKae (Sarah) is flawless. LeKae is a perfect match-up and their onstage chemistry is the epic-love-story-kind. Cory Goodrich (Mother) is marvelous in an understated and nonchalant way. Goodrich's character changes her family's life dramatically with simple choices. Her transformation is most baffling to Father played by Larry Adams. In a pivotal song, Adams is perplexed as he sings, 'I thought I knew what love was but these lovers play different music.'
With inspirational paternal love, Mark David Kaplan (Tateh) chases a train for a teary-eyed audience impact. Alongside the principals, smaller and famous roles engage curiosity. Emma Goldman (Catherine Lord) influences as a social reformer. Evelyn Nesbit (Summer Naomi Smart) is the Brittany Spears of the time period…whee! Harry Houdini (Stef Tovar) mystifies as a successful immigrant. Booker T. Washington (James Earl Jones II) commands integration and respect.
Surprisingly, this blockbuster musical starts with a stark stage. The introduction of characters is a popped up portrait of perfection. Literally, group entrances are elevated from below stage. As the three groups multiply across the stage, the unique flair of costume distinction, designed by Santo Loquasto, is a spectacular visual. Costumes, projections, lighting, moments of tasty eye candy decorate this show. From silhouettes marching to swimmers bathing, the imagery dances to the ragtime.
'And there was distant music, simple and somehow sublime. Giving the nation a new syncopation. The people called it Ragtime!'
Paralleling life's happenstance, my performance had some twists not necessarily planned. There seemed to be an issue with lighting up the solo singers in the first few scenes. A momentary blip broke the backdrop illusion with a 'Microsoft word computer screen' projection. Initially, the audio seemed hollow. I was uncertain if it was a microphone or acoustic issue. It either cleared up or my engrossment made it a moot point. All in all, this production was amazing. It left me reinforced that a gesture of kindness changes life's courses and bewildered about men's obsessions with cars.

H.E. Ambassador Desra Percaya
Permanent Representative
Permanent Mission of the Republic of Indonesia to the United Nations
2014 Substantive Session
Special Committee on Peacekeeping Operations
Fourth Committee
New York February 24, 2014
Madam Chairperson,
Let me begin by extending our appreciation to the Under-Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Operations, Mr. Herve Ladsous, and Under-Secretary-General for Field Support, Ms. Ameerah Haq, for their respective briefings, as well as their efforts and able leadership in improving coordination and effectiveness of the UN peacekeeping and field support.
Indonesia aligns itself with the statements delivered by the distinguished delegations of Egypt on behalf of NAM, and Thailand on behalf of ASEAN.
Madam Chairperson,
Indonesia wishes to highlight the positive atmosphere in the C-34, as a result of constructive engagement and consultations between Member States, as well as Regional Groups over the past few months. We are pleased, in this regard, to participate in this substantive session, and continue our contribution for a successful C-34 this year.
It is important to maintain the current level of cooperation and work together for better outcomes in policies on UN peacekeeping.
As the only UN forum mandated to review comprehensively the whole question of peacekeeping operations in all their aspects, and especially with today's complex peacekeeping mandates, the role of this Committee will continue to be critical in providing strategic recommendations.
UN peacekeeping is a collective enterprise, and there should be an inclusive and transparent intergovernmental approach, harnessing the strengths of all peacekeeping stakeholders. Thus we stress a meaningful involvement of troops and police contributing countries throughout the whole process of framing the policies, implementation and evaluation of peacekeeping operations.
Indonesia concurs that when faced by multidimensional peacekeeping mandates and increased demands, one should be innovative and flexible in tackling challenging transitions from conflict to peace, and enabling security and peacebuilding.
However, this should not undermine the respect for basic principles of UN peacekeeping. Moreover, the primary responsibility of identifying priorities and strategies, in particular for post-conflict peacebuilding, should remain in the hands of host countries.
National ownership, political will, as well as joint efforts of national governments and international community are critical in constructing sustainable peace.
These along with adequate capabilities, resources, early planning and responsive mechanisms on implementing mandates remain among key elements to the success of peacekeeping operations
The Report of the Secretary-General on Implementation of the Recommendations of the C-34 (A/68/652) has reflected additional elements, which will need to be addressed to strengthen the peacekeeping processes.
Allow me, Madam Chairperson, to emphasize some additional points in the context of advancing work of UN peacekeeping operations:
First,to focus properly on multidimensional peacekeeping requires that there be a comprehensive and integrated approach on peacemaking, peacekeeping and peacebuilding. This inter-linkage should be seamless, and it should be effectively supported and coordinated among the relevant stakeholders.
In this regard, we also stress the importance of supporting national civilian capacity development and institution building in conflict-affected countries.
Indonesia has been actively contributing to the UN civilian capacities agenda, and appreciates the final Report of the Secretary-General on Civilian Capacities in the immediate aftermath of conflict (A/68/696-S/2014/5).
As the Report notes, all relevant stakeholders need to broaden and deepen the pool of civilian expertise for peacebuilding. While most conflicts have occurred in South, most successful post-conflict and democratic transitions have also been achieved there with very valuable learning and expertise. Thus we emphasize the utilization of available civilian expertise from the Global South, in particular women from developing countries, keeping in mind the need to apply the principle of national ownership.
We look forward to a detailed briefing on the future implementation of civilian capacities' outreach activities, in accordance with the existing rules and regulations, and in close consultation with Member States.
Second, we would like to underline that the demand for responding rapidly to changing ground circumstances in missions does not permit measures that might impinge on the principles of sovereign equality and territorial integrity of states.
The use of modern technology, particularly Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) including their process of information gathering and its utilization, needs to be discussed in a more inclusive and transparent manner. Regular reports on such matters should be made available to the Member States, which should evaluate them.
Third, regarding the UN peacekeeping mandates on protecting civilians, we should be mindful that the implementation of this particular task must not go beyond the UN peacekeeping missions' specific mandates.
Indonesia accords high priority to the protection of civilians in conflicts, and will soon deploy three MI-17 helicopters with 120 personnel, including one Infantry Battalion comprises of 800 personnel, to UNAMID.
Fourth, we reiterate the provision to blue helmets of adequate capabilities and equipment along with effective pre-deployment training and backstopping, as key factors in preventing casualties and ensuring their safety and security.
In this context, Indonesia supports the ongoing process of developing UN Military Unit Manuals (UNMUMs) that will provide standards and guidance on military contributions in various areas, and at the same time emphasizes the importance of close coordination between Member States, Secretariat, and peacekeeping missions throughout the whole process. Indonesia is committed to actively contributing to this project as the Deputy Chair of the Engineering Unit Manual.
Indonesia will also continue to enhance its capacity on peacekeeping training through its peacekeeping center, the Indonesian Peace and Security Center (IPSC). We further invite the UN and Member States to collaborate with the IPSC, in regional and international peacekeeping trainings and courses.
Before concluding, my delegation wishes to also emphasize the importance of improving the working methods in this Special Committee, as well as discussing ways and procedure on rotating the C-34's bureau, with a clear reflection of the principles of geographical representation.
Indonesia would also like to take this opportunity to pay tribute to the men and women who have given their lives in serving the cause of peace. We highly acknowledge their dedication and courage.
In closing, Indonesia remains highly committed to the work by the C-34, and will continue to contribute actively to the success of this session.
Thank you.

November 30, 2015
LEXINGTON, Ky.— The University of Kentucky head swimming coach Gary Conelly has announced the hiring of Ted Hautau as the new diving coach Monday. Hautau previously coached at N.C. State where he had an All-America honorable mention diver in 2008.
Hautau replaces Mike Lyden who spent 16 seasons as the coach of the diving program at Kentucky. Lyden passed away in early April after a long battle with cancer.
"Ted is the perfect fit for our team," said Conelly. "He is high energy and extremely motivating. He feels honored to be picked to carry on Mike Lyden's legacy, and I am certain he is going to make us all proud."
Hautau enjoyed an impressive season with the Wolfpack as he led Kristin Davies to a 13th place finish on the platform at the NCAA Championships in 2008. Davies earned All-America honorable mention honors for her 243.20 score in the event.
Prior to his time at N.C. State, Hautau spent 13 seasons as the head diving coach at Davidson College. At Davidson, Hautau coached Chris Wrobleski to a school record on the one-meter during a dual meet with South Carolina. Additionally, Hautau guided Liz Nugent to back-to-back Zone Diving Championship appearances. Nugent claimed the three-meter crown at the Southern States Championship in 2000 while setting a school record in the event.
Hautau began his career as the head diving coach at North Carolina where he coached the women to three ACC titles, while the men earned two crowns. He had two athletes earn ACC Diver of the Year awards under his tutelage, while also coaching All-ACC members in the 1992 and 1994 seasons.
In addition to his duties while at Davidson, Hautau coached for Fuel Diving, a local club diving program in Huntersville. He served as the event coordinator for the 2004 World Cup Trials and 2005 Speedo Jr. National and U.S. Championships in Huntersville, which drew some of the nation's top divers and Olympians.
Hautau is married to Jessica Thompson, a former Kentucky diver under Lyden. Thompson claimed the 2005 three-meter SEC Championship and was a three-time All-America honorable mention for the Wildcats.

Hi guys and gals, this is my first post after about a month of reading your very informative site. I will start by saying that I am looking at buying a bike to start getting back into shape on. When I first started this quest, I didn't really have much idea of how to go about it. I have to admit that one of the reasons I have been attracted to cycling is watching the Tour de France. That being said, I have no aspirations of being a bike racer. I am a 39 year old who is trying to quit smoking and wants to live a longer,healthier life for my 2 kids.
I think I have finally found the bike in my price range and abilbity. I am going to check out a used 2010 Specialized Sirrius Sport for $325. Is that a good price and is this a good bike to start on? Any input, good or bad is appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

Take a stroll through the colourful gardens at Keukenhof with a wide range of tulips, daffodils and narcissi. As a contrast Amsterdam awaits with its many attractions.
The Keukenhof theme for 2015 is Van Gogh, commemorating 125 years since his death. The main highlight will be a flower mosaic, measuring 250m2 planted using different colours of tulips, based on a self-portrait by the artist.
The tulip variety 'Vincent van Gogh' will be planted in the Walk of Fame. The works of an Gogh will serve as a wonderful source of inspiration for the many flower shows in the Orange Nassau Pavilion.
