Eatons Community CentreMore Details
Eaton Socon
St Neots
The Eatons Community Centre
In 2000, a project began to bring a community/youth centre to the Eatons area of St Neots. A one acre site off The Maltings in Eaton Socon, which was owned by the Town Council, was felt to be an ideal situation for the new building. Consultation with local residents, organisations and authorities showed a requirement for a venue and meeting place for people of all ages, from pre-school to the elderly.
The Centre was officially opened by HRH Duchess of Gloucester on 23rd April 2010. It is a modern design and is heated by an energy efficient bio-mass boiler and includes many of the latest up to date design features.
The building incorporates a purpose built pre-school/children's area, two medium sized meeting rooms which can be merged into one for larger gatherings and a large main hall complete with a fully operational kitchen. The hall is suitable for all types of events, conferences and community group meetings and is an ideal venue for private functions such as weddings and birthday parties

Ted Simons: The business community is watching the budget process closely to see how it will affect Arizona's business climate. Earlier I spoke with Todd Sanders, president and C.E.O. of the greater Phoenix Chamber of Commerce, the state's largest and oldest chamber with over 3,000 members. And Todd, thanks for joining us on Horizon.
Todd Sanders: It's my pleasure, thanks for having me.
Ted Simons: Let's talk about your membership. The members of the greater Phoenix Chamber of Commerce who are they?
Todd Sanders: Well, we're the largest chamber in the state of Arizona, about 3400 members, really just a really broad diverse cross-section of our state. And so you can see on any given day you could see a plumber, you could see the sign printing folks, the large community leaders of our state like S.R.P. and A.P.S., it really is just about everything you can imagine in the state of Arizona.
Ted Simons: The benefits of a regional chamber of commerce as opposed to individual smaller units.
Todd Sanders: Well, I think for us having that large membership is really important because we can provide, you know, that value proposition, what's important to the folks across our region, in a very effective way. The other place where I think that's really important is the fact that when we're supporting our members at the state legislature, that voice in government, having the voice of such a broad cross-section of our state is really important.
Ted Simons: Let's talk about that voice. What is that voice calling for at the capitol?
Todd Sanders: Well, you know, we're looking at a wide range of issues this year. Clearly I think the 900-pound elephant in the room is the state budget and that is important. There's no question. But on a yearly basis there are some issues that are big for our members, one example is healthcare, healthcare costs are going up every year and the fact that there are more and more folks that are uninsured is a big issue for us, so lowering the numbers of uninsured folks in the state of Arizona is a big priority for us. Workers comp is another one, everyone has to have it, you have to have workers comp insurance but the rates have been creeping up so that's another area where our members ask us to engage for them.
Ted Simons: It's a big area of engagement for everyone it seems at the capitol right now, as you mentioned, it is the budget. But the concept of taxes, whether a one cent sales tax as the governor calls, no tax increase at all, as republican leadership calls for, where does the chamber stand on this? And how do you play that dynamic between taxes obviously, you want to keep them as low as possible for business and members, yet you want services and education to be up to snuff?
Todd Sanders: Right. And you don't see it, Chamber of Commerce jumping up and down to increase taxes, right. That is, you have to strike that balance and we're still grappling with that. We're looking at what the governor has proposed, the state legislature, I think for us some of the important parts of the budget have to include the recognition we're spending more than what's coming in. Cuts have to be meaningful but smart. We can't jeopardize the federal funds that are really a lifeline for us right now and I think you need to plan for the long term. You can't just look at this says a one off solution where we get by year by year. And finally the issue of sort of this photo-radar tech solution we saw last year, expecting 120 million to come in and scored it that way and it never came in. So we need to be careful and practical about what kind of revenue enhancement solutions we're thinking of doing.
Ted Simons: As it stands right now the budget passed by the legislature not yet presented to the governor, but passed by the legislature, is it the kind of thing your membership wants to see?
Todd Sanders: Parts of it, they do, absolutely. With regard to the spending as expects of it there's no question, again, that we're spending more than we're bringing in, so the fact that there are some deep cuts in there and a recognition of that is important to us. There is -- there are some tax policies in there very important to us in terms of business property taxes. There are certain parts important to us and we believe in, as well as the governor's budget.
Ted Simons: Another aspect of tax policy, getting the once over twice at least in areas around the legislature, tax incentives, and we've seen a big case with City North and these things, where does the chamber come down on that?
Todd Sanders: I think done properly and I think it's easy to look at one or two examples that maybe are looked at in the media and maybe don't really represent what those incentives can really do. I think if you do it smart, I was down at the state legislature as a research analyst for seven years and I've seen where you can apply incentives in a good way that will stimulate the economy, bring good jobs, and at the end of the day will be a net benefit in terms of the general fund.
Ted Simons: Some of your members say it's not fair, they're getting a break, I'm not?
Todd Sanders: Yeah, there is that and there is some legislation going through right now I think that's going to deal with that and that's going to have to be something that if we actually see bills get up to the governor and really move back and forth between the house and senate that we're looking at.
Ted Simons: Brings to mind the question of taking care of a variety of interests within the membership. How much of a challenge is that?
Todd Sanders: Well, it's tough. Right now if you just look at stepping away from the political a little bit, given the fact we do have 3400 members, we're looking at ways we can really provide the tools for them to not just survive right now but really succeed. So we looked at sort of a back-to-basics value package that make our businesses succeed like marketing, like sales, like accounting, and we've had every one we've done, every symposium has been sold out and members are asking for more, so it is back to the basic premise, what makes the economy run.
Ted Simons: Is that the key right now? It's sufficient a tough economy and everyone is struggling, is back to basics the goal here? Or there are other dynamics at play, when things are so bad and so many folks out there within your membership are saying we need some help.
Todd Sanders: No, no question that there's a lot more we can do. That's one of those things, but yeah, the basics of what makes the economy run are really important to recognize. We've also heard from our members and reacted to the fact that they want to be able to have more of those business-to-business opportunities, as a matter of fact on the 26th of June we're doing a day expo at the Kierland in North Phoenix where you'll have an opportunity to see 150 businesses out there doing the business-to-business contact, making new contacts and getting new clients so there's some of that as well.
Ted Simons: So there is some hope among membership in these relatively dark economic times.
Todd Sanders: There is, I've been going out to see hour members and it's amazing I'll go see one and they'll say business is great, and I think we're going to see that more and more and we're hopeful for the state of Arizona. I'm really bullish on our state.
Ted Simons: Very good, Todd, thanks for joining us. We appreciate it.
Todd Sanders: Thank you.

Reappraising Medfly Longevity: A Quantile Regression Survival Analysis
Koenker, Roger, Geling, Olga, Journal of the American Statistical Association
In this article we explore the usefulness of a quantile regression formulation of reanalyzing a large experimental study that monitored age-specific mortality in a sample of roughly 1.2 million Mediterranean fruit flies. The quantile regression approach appears useful in refining several of the conclusions drawn from the original study including the apparent decline in mortality rates at advanced ages, and the gender crossover effect in survival functions for medflies.
KEY WORDS: Experimental demography; Lehmann treatment effect; Mortality rates; Quantile regression; Survival analysis; Transformation model.
The biology of aging has attained a robust adolescent stage as a scientific discipline and seems destined for a prolonged maturity. The enduring human fascination with "intimations of immortality," nurtured by modern developments in cell biology, provides a powerful impetus for the field. From a statistical vantage point, one of the most exciting recent developments in this emerging field involves large-scale demographic experiments on lower animals designed to explore features of the survival distribution and determinants of longevity. The largest and most influential of these is the work of Carey, Liedo, Orozco, and Vaupel (1992). The primary experiment that these authors described involved monitoring age-specific mortality in a sample of roughly 1.2 million Mediterranean fruit flies (Ceratitis capitata), or medflies. Several findings from this experiment challenged notions that might be regarded as central to the conventional wisdom of population biology, and demography more generally:
* Mortality rates actually declined at the oldest observed ages contradicting the view that aging is an ineluctable, monotone process of senescence. In the most extreme form of the traditional view, the survival distribution is assumed to take the Gompertz form so the mortality rate (hazard) is log-linear. This view is clearly contradicted by the medfly experiments.
* The right tail of the survival distribution was, at least by human standards, remarkably long. By 33 days, 90% of the flies had died, and by 50 days, 99% had died, but 120 (.01%) lived to 86 days and 12 (.001%) lived to 146 days. This finding casts doubt on the common practice of characterizing species-specific maximum life spans, shifting the focus instead to the analysis of tail behavior of the survival distribution. Thatcher (1999) has provided an extended discussion of related evidence for human populations.
* The experiment provided, really for the first time, strong evidence for a crossover in gender-specific mortality rates for a nonhuman population. Carey et al. (1995) reported that female medflies have higher mortality rates than male medflies up to roughly 20 days, whereas from 20-60 days males have higher rates than females and after 60 days the rates are essentially indistinguishable. These results suggest a considerably more complicated view of adaptability of the sexes for survival at various stages of the life cycle than is provided by prior literature.
The statistical analyses used in earlier work on the medfly data are based largely on standard life table methods, as described by, for example, Carey (1993). Life table methods are well adapted for the study of the effects of gender and other discrete covariates on survival and mortality, but are less well suited to investigating the effect of continuous covariates like population density, a variable that has played a significant role in subsequent debate on the interpretation of the experimental results.
In contrast, parametric and semiparametric survival models, while accommodating a broader class of covariates, typically impose stringent conditions on how the covariates are permitted to influence survival prospects. For example, in the accelerated failure time model, covariates are assumed to exert a pure location shift effect on log survival times, whereas in the Cox proportional hazard model, the covariates exert a pure location shift on a transformation of the baseline survival probability evaluated at the random survival time. …

The world came to know about a 14-year old violin player from Japan named Midori in 1986. That time, while playing with the New York Philharmonic, the young artist played so unbelievably and lustfully that she broke the strings of her instrument.
She grabbed another violin and then continue right on going, never missing a beat. That kind of magic continues to this day, as Midori continues to play around the world with the finest orchestras.
Midori's music perfectly shows the peace and spirituality of Bali's ancient temples.

Easter has felt especially resonant to Thomas Soukakos since the restaurateur lost his wife, Carol, ten years ago. "From that point on, it was a spiritual connection," he says, explaining why he now chooses to strictly observe Greek Orthodox Lent, a seven-week period during which it's forbidden to eat meat, fish, milk, cheese and eggs.
But a fast poses special challenges for a chef. As Soukakos of Vios Cafe and Marketplace readily admits, it's impossible to ascertain whether a dish meets quality standards without sampling it.
"I can't try anything we're making," Soukakos says.
During Lent, Soukakos calls upon kitchen staffers to act as his taste buds, dictating when a dish needs more salt or another spritz of lemon juice.
"It's a way of really trusting everybody," he says. "Emotionally it's a really good feeling for me. I'm not responsible, they're responsible. It really feels good."
Because of the holiday's personal significance, Soukakos has always observed it with relatives and close friends. This year, though, he's decided to make the celebration public: He's hosting a traditional lunch on Greek Orthodox Easter (April 15). The menu, which draws broadly from the Greek culinary canon, includes spinach pies, spit-roasted lamb and mayiritsa, a lamb's intestine soup that's usually served after midnight Mass.
"After going on abstinence for seven weeks, the table is full of food," Soukakos says of the feast. "I look forward to it every year."
The $35 meal will be served from 1 p.m.-3 p.m. Reservations are required.

My mindset for this photo session was "it's spring, I ran away from Konoha, but the thought of Sakura still lingers in my heart" XD So the photos have something romantic/nostalgic, and a feeling of Sasuke wanting to protect Sakura from afar. I hope you all like it :3
This was the last time I wore this costume. It's now officially retired since the open shirt binding hurts me so much. So I'm really glad that Haru took some amazing photos <3 it was the perfect way to say good-bye to this version :')

Jason and Ferrin.
Jason Wilson of Crush restaurant has been spending a lot more time outdoors lately, thanks to his five-year-old son Ferrin, who he feels responsible for teaching the origins of where his food comes from. "Some kids still think chicken comes from the freezer section of their local grocery store," says Wilson, who has been teaching Ferrin about foraging since before the kid could talk. In addition to finding wild edible plants around Puget Sound, Wilson and his wife Nicole maintain a lovely garden gifted to them by a customer whose dad passed away. Not only can the Wilson offspring identify nasturtium and nettles, he's growing his own herbs and can apparently cook. In this week's Counter Balance, Wilson shares with us the same valuable tips he's taught his son when it comes to scouting plants that are worth eating.
Jason and Ferrin.
We have a garden space in the back of a customer's house. It's a family house. It's been in their family for 67 years or more. They came to us two-and-a-half years ago and said, "My father recently passed away. We want someone to use this land in the back of the house; it's good enough for a restaurant like yours and one of his last meals before he died was at Crush." So, we went in and just decimated all of the stuff that was growing on the land--the grass, all of the weeds--and tilled it up; I had the soil looked at by George from Skagit River. He's like, "Grow, man! The soil is great! Go for it!" We put in nine 16-foot boxes. Now, we have our intern daily going up there and picking.
How close to the restaurant is this place?
Seven blocks to the north.
How much acreage are we talking about?
I think it's like two-thousand square-feet. So, it's not acreage; we're not growing tomatoes out there, obviously, but we are growing lettuces, radishes, carrots, turnips, onions, 17 different kinds of herbs, Japanese and lemon cucumbers.
Were you just buying that stuff before?
Yeah, we'd have to go to the farmers markets. When it came to the more interesting stuff, we found that we could grow it ourselves, things like saltwort, Jamaican lemongrass that we use in sorbets and purslane. I've always loved purslane and it's hard to get. It was growing in this family's backyard already because he grew it. And they have a kiwi tree that's as big as this room [ed note: Jason is pointing to the main Crush dining room downstairs].
One tree?
It's two trees. It's remarkable! In November the kiwis come out, so we'll have kiwis November and December and January.
I'm curious to know what makes good soil. What was George looking for?
I think it was a level of nitrate in the soil. You want to make sure it's high enough. And the level of clay as well. I also asked him to look at the soil and see if it was contaminated, if there had been an oil spill. Well, not an actual oil spill, but if someone had worked on their car in the yard or something, but that was not the case.
Do you find that you're more outdoorsy because of Ferrin?
Yes, totally! The whole foraging thing started when Ferrin and I would go down to Foster Island in the Arboretum. We'd go park, we'd bring the dog out and just go walking and we'd find stuff. I first showed him nettles and he was like, "What is this?" and I talked to him about it and showed him the part that would sting him. He had a bag we collected the nettles in. He reached over and grabs a bunch of nettles and I heard him scream and I could see his hand start to swell up. So, I took him over and found a lady fern bush. In the bottom where the fiddleheads are, you pick off a couple...fiddleheads have cilia essentially, brown hairs coming off the sides of them. If you rub it where the nettles stung, about two minutes later, the pain is gone.
That would have been nice to know when I was a child.
Jeremy Faber taught me the trick. We were out in 2007 in the Kirkland watershed and Ferrin at that time was about 8-months old and I had him in the Baby Bjorn while Jeremy and I were foraging for stuff--we were getting nettles and salmonberries and watercress. So, Jeremy and I start to hit each other on the back of the neck with this stuff, just playing around like stupid guys do, and I said, "Man, that really itches," so he says, "Hold on," and goes over and gets a fiddlehead and rubs it on my neck and I thought it was the weirdest thing. Then he tells me about how this is Mother Nature at work. It's funny because I was waiting for the time that I could explain it to Ferrin and I finally got that chance.
Is there anything that grows around here that surprised you, besides kiwi trees?
Onions and celery. Wild celery is different that the stalks of celery. Wild onions as well. Both of these things are kind of marshy area stuff. You find them in the marshy areas around North Bend and up along the Cascades. They look like baby leeks, the onions do. They're really super green on top so you see them, start digging around in mucky area, and there are these beautiful, almost clear white bulbs of onions and you eat them and they're peppery and spicy, sweet with the fresh water, just really, really cool. And then wild celery. We just got a whole bunch more in. I went out with a guy who supplies some of our fish and told him to show me something different. He's like, "Check this out," and he gets this bag out of his car and tells me to eat it. It tasted like beautiful, bright celery--not lovage, where it's almost sharp in flavor, but really rich. I'm like, "We've got to go find more of this!"
That stuff isn't really recognizable unless you know what you're looking for, right?
It's very true. You're probably familiar with chervil and the way it looks--like really fine parsley--so you can really confuse that with other plants that look a lot like chervil but that make you completely sick.
With Ferrin now, we'll take him to the garden and he's growing herbs in the backyard so he sees that.
You're kid is growing herbs?
By himself?
He waters them every day and he did mushrooms too, which was really cool.
You're kid did mushrooms?
Not like that! We went to a mycologist dinner at The Herbfarm and we brought the oyster mushroom kit home with us and we told Ferrin, "This is something that grows mushrooms. Do you want to give it a try?" and he said, "Sure!" Nicole put some coffee grounds in there and put it in a planter and put the cardboard over it and all that. A month and a half later, oyster mushrooms are coming out of this thing everywhere. He gets out there and snips them and goes to cook them. It's pretty cool.
So, he's having a really good time with all of this.
It's great that he's interested enough in the herb part so he gets these little pots and goes back there and knows the difference between the rosemary and the basil. We got the basics for him. He'll be making eggs with me in the morning and he'll say, "I want to add spice," so he runs outside--and a couple of times in the beginning he'd bring back the whole plant with him--grabs the scissors, cuts it and brings it in.
The fact that he even knows what herbs are and isn't grabbing flowers or something is pretty amazing.
That's the next thing we're working on, now that nasturtiums are everywhere. I've shown him that you can eat these things. The big thing is I tell him not to pick them unless I'm with him so I can tell him if it's poisonous or not. He understands that much.
Where did the name Ferrin come from?
It was my grandfather's. My grandfather was Scottish. He came over as Fern and he started in the banking industry in the 20s and wanted a more masculine name, so he switched it to the Irish version which was Ferrin.
So, you're kid who likes foraging is named after a plant? It's like the name picked him.
It did, in a way. It's a real special thing. One of the things I really look forward to is getting out with him and going camping with him on the weekends. And now that the temperature is getting a little more reliable he's like, "When are we going to go?" We make a day out of it where you have a little adventure, you have a little bit of learning time, I show him where the blackberries are going to be. He's growing strawberries at home, which was successful, but he ate them all before they were even done.
For people going hiking this season, what's out there right now they can eat?
I would recommend against using cherry blossoms. As I found out, they're slightly poisonous. When I made ice cream using them, I got a stomachache. But maple trees, you know the maple blossoms, those things actually are amazing. If you find a big golden maple--they're everywhere--climb the tree. The blossoms are coming out and they have these cones, like grape clusters, and they're getting kind of yellow on the end; you can snip them, use them in ice cream and whipped cream and sauces. I've made pancakes with them, I've dehydrated them and made waffles. The taste is maple with a little bit of green to it, but it's just maple. It's really cool. It makes a really great custard, too.
So, cherry blossoms--no, maple blossoms--yes.
Also, Douglas Fir. We started roasting salmon in Doug Fir. The tree we have in the backyard is pretty much barren at this point because we've roasted so much of the fish that we have to go out someplace else and find it. There's a massive fennel bush just up on the corner next to us and it's huge. When it starts to flower, we'll go in and just cut as much as we can get out of it. Trash bags full. We'll bring it back [to the restaurant] and put it on the back patio and literally just tie up bundles of it, hang it up and dry it. So, when we go to smoke fish, onions, parsnips or vegetables, even peaches, we'll use the fennel instead of wood because it gives off a really lovely licorice flavor. The flowers we'll let dry up a little bit and then after a day or two we'll just hit them and all of the fennel flowers and pollen come off. It makes for great butter. It makes for a great addition to sugar.
How do you know if something should not be eaten?
If you don't know, don't eat it. I'll tell you right now, it's a really good rule of thumb.

Memphis vs Dallas Mavericks
Memphis at home against Dallas.Memphis vs Dallas Mavericks betting tips conclusion Stake: 9/10
I will be selecting underdogs here and I am sure about this bet.
♦Dallas and Memphis met two times before in this season. Both games won Dallas easily by 14 and 12 points.
♠Mephis will be without Allen, Conley and Pondexter. First two players are starting five players and they are very important.
♣ Nick Calathes IS NOT NEXT SUPERSTAR. Of course, in 40 minutes it's great that he can score, but HE IS NOT MIKE CONLEY OR ALLEN. Tonight he will face Jose Calderon and Monta Ellis. It will be hell for Nick Calathes.
♥Dirk Nowitzki will play far from basket and Zach Randolph or Marc Gasol will have to move from the paint. In this case Dallas and Grizzlies are pretty much even if we talk about injury of Shawn Marion. One of two big guys won't be in the paint so Dalembert can take care of other player.
To my mind, Dallas is in better form right now. They deserve a win and for such little handicap those odds are just 100 per cent.
- Pick Dallas -4
- Odds 3.10
- Bookmaker Bet365
- Match Date 6 Feb
- Match Result 96-110 WON (Robert won 18.9 units)

Leading medical devices maker
C.R. Bard
) is scheduled to report its second quarter fiscal 2012 results
after the closing bell on Wednesday, July 18. The New Jersey-based
company envisions that its sales for the second quarter would grow
4%-7% in constant currency. Moreover, it expects adjusted earnings
in the band of $1.61 and $1.65 a share for the quarter.
The current Zacks Consensus Estimates for revenues and earnings
for the second quarter are $756 million and $1.64 a share,
First Quarter Flashback
C.R. Bard's first quarter 2012 adjusted earnings per share of
$1.61 beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.57. Profit (as
reported) rose 5% year-over-year to $138.7 million (or $1.60 a
Revenues increased 4% (up 5% in constant currency)
year-over-year to $730 million, but fell short of the Zacks
Consensus Estimate of $733 million. Year-over-year growth was
triggered by the company's Vascular and Oncology business leading
from the front, backed by higher overseas revenues.
On a geographic basis, the U.S. market remained almost stagnant
with just a 2% increase in sales. International revenues spiked 10%
(up 11% in constant currency), boosted by the emerging markets.
Revenues from the core Vascular segment climbed 5% (up 6% in
constant currency), benefiting from the contributions of the SenoRx
acquisition. Oncology sales rose 7% (in terms of both reported and
constant currency) while Urology sales edged up 3% (in terms of
both reported and constant currency). Surgical Specialties division
sales were flat year-over-year.
Estimate Revisions Trend
Estimates for the second quarter elicited somewhat negative
trend over the past week and month. Out of the 15 analysts covering
the stock, one has made a negative revision over the last 7 days
with no instance of upward revision. Over the last 30 days, there
have been two downward revisions with no movement in the positive
No movement has been observed in either direction for fiscal
2012 over the past week. However, estimate revision trend remained
mixed over the past 30 days; where only one analyst (out of 16) has
raised an individual forecast for the fiscal coupled with another
moving in the reverse direction.
Sustained poor growth across Bard's core segments is a cause of
concern for the analysts. A lackluster pricing environment for the
company's offerings and a soft hospital equipment purchase backdrop
in the domestic market continue to remain as overhangs. Also worth
mentioning in this context is the dilutive acquisition of
Estimates for the second quarter have been static at the current
level of $1.64 over the past week and month. For fiscal 2012,
estimates also remained flat at $6.68 per share over the past 7 as
well as 30 days, representing an estimated year over year growth of
With respect to earnings surprises, C.R. Bard has posted three
positive surprises in the preceding four quarters while it met the
Zacks Consensus Estimate on the other occasion. The company has
delivered an average positive earnings surprise of 1.66% over the
past four quarters, implying that it has beaten the Zacks Consensus
Estimate by that measure.
Our View
C.R. Bard's well-diversified end-markets and vast product
portfolio insulate it from fluctuations in any single therapeutic
category. The company's resources depth and product leadership are
its major competitive advantages. Most of the company's products
are ranked either first or second in terms of market share.
C.R. Bard is also making prudent use of cash in the form of
acquisitions and share repurchases. This strategy positions Bard in
a positive light amid tough macroeconomic conditions. Moreover the
company's credentials in raising dividends even appeals to
risk-averse investors.
C.R. Bard's incremental R&D investment should boost its
pipeline and give way to product innovation/differentiation.
Several new product launches are expected to support growth moving
forward and to help the company achieve its sales target.
However, heightened competition and pricing/procedure volume
pressure remain areas of concern. C.R. Bard faces a mix of
competitors ranging from large manufacturers with multiple business
lines like
Boston Scientific
) and
Johnson & Johnson
) to smaller manufacturers that offer a limited selection of
products like
Moreover, a soft U.S. market may weigh on the company's second
quarter results. We currently have a Neutral recommendation on C.R.
Bard. The stock currently retains a Zacks #3 Rank, which translates
into a short-term Hold rating.

Benjamin Britten: A Life for Music
Hutchinson, 2013 - Composers - 512 pages
Benjamin Britten was the greatest English composer of the twentieth century and one of the outstanding musicians of his age.
Born in Lowestoft, Suffolk, in 1913, Britten was the youngest child of a dentist father and amateur musician mother. After studying at the Royal College of Music, he became a vital part of London'e(tm)s creative and intellectual life during the 1930s, collaborating with W. H. Auden and meeting his lifelong partner, the tenor Peter Pears. At the outbreak of the Second World War, Britten and Pears were already in America, earning a precarious living as freelance musicians before re-crossing the Atlantic by ship in the perilous days of 1942.
But the east coast of England was where Britten, as he himself said, belonged: this was where he returned to write his most famous opera, Peter Grimes, and 'e" with Pears and Eric Crozier 'e" to found the Aldeburgh Festival in 1948. In the years that followed, his worldwide reputation grew steadily, helped by a busy schedule of international tours and, for many, crowned by the extraordinary success of his War Requiem. Meanwhile, his festival went from strength to strength, its progress symbolised by the opening of Snape Maltings Concert Hall in 1967.
Britten was a mass of paradoxes: a solitary, introspective thinker who came to ebullient life in the company of young people, for whom he composed some of his most memorable works; a man of the political left who was on the friendliest terms with members of the royal family; a composer inspired by some of the twentieth century'e(tm)s deepest preoccupations who combined innovation with a profound understanding of musical tradition. Devoted to his friends, protégés and fellow musicians, he was, above all, someone who lived for music.
Neil Powell'e(tm)s book is the landmark biography for Britten'e(tm)s centenary year: a subtle and moving portrait of a brilliant, complex and ultimately loveable man.

Is there a way in Java to do something just before running out of memory. For example, keeping a list of previous document states (for undo) and only removing very old states when memory is about to be exhausted?
You may be able to do something with
Yes, it is certainly possible.
I would probably use a list of SoftReferences for your previous document states. These are guaranteed to be disposed of before an out of memory exception occurs.
At some periodic interval, you can clean null references out of the list.
I would also recommend keeping a normal reference to the most recent state so that you can always guarantee at least one undo :-)
It will depend on the JVM implementation, but if you are lucky the JVM will keep the most recent states and dispose of the oldest ones. This is not strictly required in the JVM spec but is the recommended behaviour.

Many of these above problems were solved by resetting iPad completely (I have no iPhone).
At least, it helped for me!

you speak so much sense. I can't add or detract from what you say. Although lots of good folk are offering a work around that should not be necessary. Mac, iPad and iPhone should stay perfectly in sync and not even have to laboriously go through iTunes.

And I quote:
"iCloud automatically keeps your documents up to date across all your devices. So you don't have to."
Clearly the Mac is one of "all your devices."
Clearly "automatically" should not mean "You have to go to icloud.com and manually upload and download the files yourself."
Care to respond, Apple?
p.s. - And again: "It all happens automatically, without any effort from you."
and from https://www.apple.com/icloud/what-is.html
Under "All your Devices":
"iCloud automatically and securely stores your content so it's always available to your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, or PC."

I AGREE 100% I despise the way that I cloud has been advertised it is a JOKE.
When I made my purchase, an ipad to go with my iphone and my mac computure I made it CLEAR that the ONLY reason for buying an ipad was to be able to access an excel or numbers document anywhere at any time I am in and out my office frequently and I mentioned the KEY feature was the "iCloud automatically keeps your documents up to date across all your devices. So you don't have to."
IT DOES NOT DO THIS do not buy into the icloud myth, the staff at the apple store when I made my purchase did not mention the upload download component at all and when I explaned the issue I am having witht he icloud at a later date many of t he staff didn't even know that the cloud had these requirements?!! Staff actaully scoffed saying well whats the point of the cloud then if you are uplading and downloading all day?!?!?!?!
To overcome this, I bought drop box but this does not work either.. Why? because numbers and all the iwork products don't have a save function they save back to the icloud regaurdless of it being turned on or off.. so drop box never recieves an updated version making it useless to.
I have had to explain this isssue to MAC so many times I am sick of being on the phone to them I am sick of explaing myslef over and over again.
Mac truely I cloud is a joke I have been such a great supported and I know this is not the place but I have laways encourgaed people to use your devices but after this NO WAY I am s o disappointed by the lack of staff knowledge and the FALSE ADVERTISING that I didn;t expect from you guys,
I wpould love some one to contact me, I have WASTED HOURS lookign for a solution, I want a refund on not just the ipad but all the ****** apps I have paid for!! SO DISAPPOINTING!!! so for repreating everyone else's commenets but I REALY needed a RANT, DISGUSTED!!!!

To their credit, when I wrote to iTunes Billing Support and demanded a refund for Keynote on iOS and OS X, and for Pages on iOS, I received a very polite and apologetic letter along with the notice of the refund being approved, and this occurred within an hour of my writing to them.

"iCloud automatically keeps your documents up to date across all your devices. So you don't have to."
I am in full agreement with all of these well-justified rants. Can anyone say 'false advertising'. Some money was spent buying ios apps and upgrading to lion. This situation is a lawyer's dream come true. (I am personally not interested in a class action lawsuit, or even a refund, I just want this to work)
I've been using macs forever and once in a blue moon, I get so frustrated that I consider bailing just for spite. Looks like the moon is blue once again. I just got a new macBook with Lion this week. When I figured out that syncing in the cloud was not occuring, I went searching on line. I am especially dumbfounded that this thread was started in October of 2011 and still there is no Apple-sanctioned solution, or even token effort toward a solution. I would settle for a vacuous promise (oh wait, I already got that).
As one poster said 'this will all be solved with Mountain Lion'. Whether that is true or not, it should also work in Lion. I'm not willing to spend any more money on this, and will likely just spend an hour switching cloud documents to a new service. My mac has traditionally been my information/data hub for all of my other devices. Apple suggested that my new 'hub' would be in the icloud and that if I was willing to buy a bunch of new software I could stop worrying about document versions across devices/locations.
In order for the cloud to be an effective solution, you must be able to trust that the provider of your cloud service will handle files in a seamless manner and that you won't have different versions of a document when you switch devices. Without trust, this is no better than a usb stick that I might easily misplace or damage. Leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. And, yes, I am totally being a big baby about this, but there are other solutions already out there. So why in the world would I continue waiting around for apple to "automatically keeps your my documents up to date across all your my devices. So you I don't have to."

Your comments are well made. There must be seamless syncing between all iOS devices and all Macs irrespective of age. At the moment the means for syncing are cumbersome and archaic.

I'm sure it's old news by now, but I think OS X Mountain Lion will add the ability to do iCloud stuff automatically. I would assume that, at least. iCloud has an obvious weakness here, so Apple will amend it eventually, and considering how Mountain Lion bridges the gap between iOS and OS X even more, it only makes sense that iCloud will be a big part of that.
Just my $0.02

Old news? We all hope so. But, if that wish is true, why is Apple keeping it a secret. No apple tech I have talked to, Apple Care or in store people including the Genius Bar, will commemnt on it. And, if ML addresses this problem, will iCloud syncing be totally seamless for all products? Right now my 8g stick is my best friend; even Back to My Mac does not always work.

Until Mountain Lion comes along a fairly quick workaround is with MediaMaster Server - free from AppStore. It lets you transfer files easily between Mac and iPad via WebDAV - one of the options that iWork does support.
AspiRant Apr 23, 2012 9:56 AM
in response to Rob Weinberg
agreed, i bought into apples promise of ditching mobileme & idisk in favour of the cloud to sync all my documents automatically. i remember those great announcements and ads that showed documents flying through the air onto all your devices. so sad that the solution is actually unusable. this is so reminicent of my old microsoft system, forcing a move to a system that is worse than what was before. apple needs to either provide us a central storage system (icloud) for aour document to sync between ALL of our devices not just the IOS ones leaving our main data on our OSX behind. i totally regret buying my ipad now that it seems i need a macbook to haul around all my documents, which i am NOT buying.
Arelunde Apr 25, 2012 2:41 PM

I recently bought a MacBookPro 13 to complete the set of iPhone/iPad/Mac computer - all "supposedly" seamlessly synced via iCloud. I've struggled with my MBP since I got it, trying to figure out why my docs sync just fine between iOS devices but NOT to the MBP. I just dumped $1,200 into a worthless, old-fashioned stand-alone laptop (I already had a good PC laptop) and another $500 in apps to bring it up to business speed. It's very nice that my email, contacts and calendar sync perfectly ... but I could have had that and kept my bucks.
I really appreciate this forum. I had to do a lot of searching to find it - this must be one of Apple's best kept secrets!
I certainly HOPE Mountain Lion brings REAL integration to all Apple products as already advertised. I find it hard to believe Apple would blatantly lie to (or, to give them the benefit of the doubt, deceive) loyal customers in the initial iCloud promotions. BTW, those initial claims are still right there on the Apple website for all to swallow. I consider this an extremely expensive lesson - I dared to believe Apple was better than the competition.
Sad. Sad. Bad. Bad. Apple.

There might be an option to get it working...at least it helped me what the apple phone support told me...
Delete your ICloud account on the device that does not snyc well and set it up again from the scratch. Sounds pretty simple but since I did it there were no more sync issues on my devices!
Arelunde Apr 25, 2012 2:58 PM
in response to cgvs.info
Does this apply to the MBP as well, or just the iOS devices? Because there's no problem with iOS devices syncing with each other. It's the MBP that's left out of the loop.

I did not try to get my MBP into the loop yet...my problem was with the IPhone 4S after the first IOS upgrade it simply refused to sync ocassionally.
Would try my MPB as well but I am worry to upgrade the OS...need it for daily work and don´t want to risk loosing it for some days...

The Santorums' income peaked at $1.1 million in 2009.
Rick Santorum must have finally made his way to back home to get the tax returns he promised to release. But Santorum went big, handing over to Politico four years' worth of joint returns with his wife, Karen, from 2007 through 2010.
Politico has made the documents, prepared by Rick Santorum himself, available here, here, here, and here. Some candy for you tax wonks.
Over the four-year period, the Santorums' adjusted gross income ranged from $659,000 in 2007 to a four-year high of $1.1 million in 2009, a year in which he generated $820,225 from his business Excelsior, LLC, which provided Santorum's consulting services; the 2010 return listed speaking in addition to consulting.
The 2010 return also shows a gain of about $3,000 for the sale of 322 shares of Universal Health Services, a for-profit hospital chain that included Santorum on its board of directors until he stepped down on June 15, 2011.
A UHS facility in McAllen, Texas, was sued for Medicare fraud during Santorum's tenure for giving illegal kickbacks to doctors for referrals. The group settled the matter for $27.5 million in 2009. Then, in 2010, a Virginia UHS branch that treats 11- to 17-year-old boys became mired in a legal controversy for billing Medicaid for "inpatient psychiatric care that was not provided," according to the U.S. Department of Justice complaint.
The incidents may not have anything to do with Santorum but his UHS involvement spanned several years after he was ousted from his Senate seat, so it's fair game politically. Santorum said of the Virginia case: "Any investigation, you obviously engage and fully cooperate with it, and that's what we did ... that's part of the responsibility of directors."
Politico notes that the Santorums' tax rate is roughly 30 percent, or double Romney's effective tax rate. And on the even brighter side, there's nothing in the returns about a Cayman Island tax shelter.

Gwen Stefani has donated $1 million to aid with relief efforts in Japan.
The No Doubt singer - who has sons Kingston, four, and two-year-old Zuma with husband Gavin Rossdale - has given the huge sum to Save the Children's Japan Earthquake-Tsunami Children in Emergency Fund to help with recovery in the disaster-stricken nation.
She said in a statement: "I've been inspired by Japan for many years and have a true love, appreciation and respect for the Japanese people and their culture.
"The disaster in Japan is beyond heartbreaking, and I want to do anything I can to help. I would never be able to make a gesture like this without the love and support of all the fans over all these years."
In addition to her donation, Gwen will unveil a limited edition Harajuku Lovers T-shirt on her band's website, with all proceeds from sales of the garment also going to help with relief efforts.
Gwen is not the only celebrity to donate a portion of their wealth to the cause.
Both Demi Lovato and Sandra Bullock have also given $1 million to the cause, while Clint Eastwood and Warner Bros. announced profits from the sales of 'Hereafter' on DVD would be donated to help the country.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - Creighton guard Josh Jones is returning to Omaha, Neb., for additional tests after fainting before a game.
In a statement released by the school, Jones says he's in good spirits and doing well.
Coach Greg McDermott said after the game that Jones fainted during pregame warm-ups and was taken from the Devaney Center on a stretcher.
Jones was diagnosed with a bacterial infection during his senior year at Omaha Central High School and underwent surgery to replace a heart valve. He resumed playing basketball in December 2007.

"America the Beautiful" Top 5 Page for this destination Washington State by Jonathan_C
Washington State Travel Guide: 8,075 reviews and 23,358 photos
O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
Except for our having only one ocean, Washington is a microcosm of what America the Beautiful is all about: rolling wheat fields, big sky country, bad lands, deserts, mountains, lakes, forests and beaches.
Yes, we're the "Evergreen State" -- but only west of the Pacific Crest. It is the variety of terrain that makes Washington so special. We don't just have mountains; we have glacier covered active volcanoes that rise over 10,000 ft from the lowlands. We don't have any old beaches; we have the longest strech of wilderness beaches in the lower 48. Our forests have some of the biggest trees in the world. Our Grand Coulee was formed during one of the most violent spasms of geologic change in North America. The wheat fields of the Palouse are not only the most productive in the nation, they are also the most picturesque.
In Washington you will be able to visit scenery as wild and pristine as you'll find anywhere. That's what brought me here and has kept me here ever since. Here is a brief review of my own must see Washington landscapes:
We really have four separate mountain ranges in the state: the Olympics, Cascades, Blues and Rockies. The Cascades are rightfully the most famous and contain most of our National Park and wilderness areas. The mountains here aren't just snow capped, the big ones carry a crushing weight of glaciers -- more than any other state in the lower 48. There are more glaciers on Mt. Rainier than in all of Glacier National Park. The Washington Cascades contain five of the 50 Classic Climbs in North America: Mt. Rainier, Mt. Stuart, Liberty Bell, Forbidden Peak and Mt. Shuksan with a sixth, Slesse Mtn., just across the border in British Columbia.
From the protected shores of Puget Sound to the storm swept coast of Olympic National Park, Washingtonians in the western part of the state are intimately tied to the sea. We are blessed with 200 km of Pacific coastline and countless hundreds more within Puget Sound. Some of our city and county parks have beaches and tidepools that can compete with national parks for aesthetics and marine life. Here you will see everything from sea slugs and starfish to sea lions and orcas. The San Juan Islands in northern Puget Sound are an incredible destination for anyone with access to a sailboat or kayak.
When Paul Bunyan arrived in Washington State he thought he'd died and gone to heaven. However big the trees of the North Woods may have been, they were dwarfed by the giants found on the western slopes of the Cascades and Olympics. Thanks to the efforts of conservationists you can still see them not only in isolation but as in tact forest ecosystems. A few scattered individuals even exist in some city parks. In Olympic National Park the temperate rainforest receives over 12 feet of rain a year and contains trees over 200 feet tall.
Many people forget that Washington continues to exist east of the Columbia River. Don't be a mountain and beach snob. Go east to experience the 'Western' terrain in Grant and Douglas counties. Get a car and a gazetteer and plan a couple of days touring around Grand Coulee, Moses Coulee, Pallisades Canyon, Badger Mountain and the like. It wasn't a mistake when the Nature Conservancy recently bought up thousands of acres of development rights out here in central Washington. The sun will warm you and the wide open emptyness of this grand landscape will feel worlds apart from the forested, peopled landscape west of the Crest.
Much of eastern Washington is covered with loess -- an incredibly deep, rich topsoil blown in from elsewhere eons ago. This soil and the rolling landscape it covers made this country ideally suited for grass and horses, much to the advantage of Lewis and Clark. Today wheat has replaced the native grasses but the fields are huge, the barriers few and the views at harvest time are breathtaking. If you are arriving by car from the East (i.e. Idaho) you should take some of the blue highways in eastern Washington and envelop yourself in these amber waves of grain.
Cities and Towns
Oh yes, almost forgot. There are also people in Washington State. Most of them are quite nice in fact. Seattle is consistently ranked near the top of an annual list of American cities for honesty, politeness and helpfulness. You'll find quite a range of communities from high tech Seattle to smaller, quieter towns like Bellingham, Ellensburg and Walla Walla to scenic outposts like Winthrop and Neah Bay. Here at the western edge of America you will still find a youthful optimism and forward looking spirit that harkens back only 150 years to our early pioneers.
A Life's Work
As you can see, those of us who live here live in a state of conflict. Meaningful work is always competing for time with equally meaningful play. When you come to Washington, plan to stay long enough to see more than just the highlights. I've been here almost twenty years and feel I've barely scratched the surface.

Excellent photographs and tips - Washington really looks like one big National Park. I love the numerous "picnic / family spots" you included and would love to try the cake with " a good dose of lovin' "
You do live in paradise. Shoofly looks so remote for being so close to the city. Good to hear living in Seattle ain't taken the the Texas out of your wife either.
another page of spectacular pics and well written tips, good job!
Awesome pics and intersting tips, Washington must be a beautiful state to live in! :-)
More and more getting added to your Evergreen State pages! Great new tips and knowing Washington as well as you do, there are many more to come with time:-]
very nice page, beautiful pics!
Amazing country, and it is a pleasure reading your story full of honest pride and joy. Your pictures are stunning, too.
Nica page about a beautiful state. Have relatives in Bellingham and had wonderful time visiting them. Greetings from Norway !
I have only been to Washington State one time, but we loved our visit there. The entire coast, Seattle, and the Mt. Baker area where my cousin lives were all just georgeous. I can see why you love it. Nice, informative page.
