Dolly Parton's Dreams
Dolly Parton's Dreams
Prayers, dreams and a big heart have all played a role in the legendary performer's success!
Y'all might not know this about me, but I read everything I can get my hands on. Self-help books, novels, biographies, religion, best sellers, anything that helps me see what makes people tick. When a friend says, "You gotta read this, Dolly, it's a great book," I do. You never know how it might inspire you.
That's what happened back when I was on Porter Wagoner's show. One of the musicians, Buck Trent, gave me this book as a birthday present by a preacher I'd never heard of. He had a long name and preached at a big church in New York City. But he knew how to talk to a country girl like me, used to Scripture on Sundays.
"Dream big, think big, pray big," this preacher said. Lord, I thought, that's just what I want to spend my life doing!
My earliest dreams were born in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains, just like I was. My mother was a big dreamer. She dreamed about having a houseful of kids, and talk about dreams come true, she had 12 of 'em!
Some of us might have seemed like nightmares at times, but she was great about not trying to mold us or shape us to be like anybody else. Mama wanted each of us to be who God made us. And boy, did he make me a dreamer!
I'd put a tin can on a stick for a microphone, jab one end into a crack in the porch of our cabin and sing a song that I'd made up.
All at once those weren't our chickens listening to me out there in the yard. They were an audience full of people clapping and cheering. And that wasn't a hand-me-down shift I was wearing; it was a silk dress aglitter with rhinestones.
Mama's people were all musical. "Sing one of your songs," she'd say, and I'd sing. My uncle Louis saw how serious I was about music, so he gave me a guitar, a baby Martin. Oh, I loved that guitar! I played it all the time.
I prayed my dreams. Lived and breathed 'em too. Maybe that's why it never occurred to me they might not come true. The night I graduated from Sevier County High School, all the seniors got up and said what they wanted to do: go to college, get married, take a job in Knoxville (the closest city).
I sat there in the fancy pink dress my aunt Estelle had bought for me and waited my turn. Then I stood up and announced, "I'm gonna move to Nashville and be a big star."
Everybody laughed. I was so embarrassed. I couldn't understand why they laughed. Years later I realized it was because they were embarrassed. They'd never known anybody who had the gall to dream that big and declare it out loud.
Dreams are never gonna come true if you don't put wings on 'em. Not only wings–they need feet, hands, a brain. You've got to work really hard to make a dream come true.
That's the difference between a wish and a dream. You can sit around and wish for good things to happen to you, but a dream is something you have to pursue, something you make happen.
Like all country kids I knew which bugs I could play with and which ones would sting. We'd put a string on June bugs and fly them like kites or put lightning bugs in a jar for a homemade flashlight (we released them later). But butterflies were the ones I loved most.
As a little bitty child, I'd get lost chasing them into the woods. Everybody hollered at me, but I didn't care. I'm going to be like a butterfly, I decided. Spread my wings and fly.

Having the right Application for Employment is an important tool for supporting a quality employee selection process.
Having a complete and legally sound employment application is the first step to a quality hiring process. This template will give you a head start on developing your own application. It includes authorizations for additional employment screen steps such as drug testing, background checks and other procedures that may now or at some time be part of your screening and evaluation process.
Also, attached is a "values statement" cover letter. This can be used to communicate to applicants the values that drive the operation and direction of your company. Many companies use their values statement as part of the screening process. Some applicants will identify with a company's values and others won't. The ones that don't, often screen themselves out before bothering to fill out the application saving you time and possibly much more.
The Restaurant Application for Employment is downloadable in Microsoft Word® file format.

Networks of lines/spaces in Amster Yard
Entering Amster Yard through the access corridor, we are welcomed by a vibrant installation that directly invites us to rediscover our previous spatial experience with the location.
This site-specific work titled "Intersection" appears as a gravitational plane converging on the energy present in Amster Yard´s carefully planned courtyard.
And the space changes AGAIN!. Now: Jarrod Beck
And the space changes AGAIN!
Jarrod Beck is working in the gallery and installing his upcoming exhibition "Duende".
Beck has a background in architecture and printmaking. In his work he employs plaster, cast from drawings, as a three dimensional substrate and reprocess materials in order to create new tools.
NEXT!!! David Maroto opening on FRIDAY 8pm
Maroto (b. Madrid, 1972) is installing Lightstalker in the gallery, a site-specific installation gathering new photos and videos created in 2009-2010.The title of the piece refers to the search of light, quest that is represented in the works.
White walls in the gallery, AGAIN, but not for long!
Seasons change, exhibitions change… and so does Amster Yard.
New watering systems have been included in courtyard getting the garden ready for Spring. It´s been a white winter at Amster Yard. Eléctrica brought color, Christmas and LED lights. So,what´s next? Amster Yard´s program of events will remain active, introducing short-term exhibitions and one –time performances.
Post- show, Eléctrica memories
Eléctrica IC-11 closed on March 26th after two months of action. Since early January, artists were creating their work inside Cervantes. Mar Gómez and Ryan V. Brennan collaborated in the creation of the work Unaddressed, composed by a teeter-totter, a video and two screens. In the piece, the viewers' gravity triggerered a two-channel presentation of Gomez´s scene. This scene was rehearsed and filmed on a cold and rainy day in January. After the show was up, "Teeter- tottering" became the center´s most popular activity.

First-Time Mishaps
What's different about the questions, however, is that they seem to be targeted towards "first times." I'm not talking about the first time you knock some broad up. Guys get in sticky situations (and I'm not talking about the first time you played with yourself either) and they don't know what to do because it has never happened to them before.
That's why I decided to write about this. Basically, I'll talk about some tough spots you might find yourself in and how to react. That is, what you should be doing to handle things without cracking up and ending up in the loony bin.
Here are a few situations brought up by some of my loyal readers, the guys I write for. As for the rest of you Harveys out there that don't know your butt from your elbow, you should give it a read because this probably happens to you guys every week.
wolf in sheep's clothingThis is one of the worst things that could happen. We all have friends. Some are closer than others and it is when our close friends screw us over that it hurts the most.
When a friend turns on you, the first thing you need to realize is that he is no longer your friend, he is your enemy. Also, cut off your emotions. I know this is hard to do, but you have to have a clear head when thinking about the SOB in question.
Next, make sure you spread the word about what he did to you and ruin his reputation, at least within your common circle of acquaintances. You want people to know he is scum. Last but not least, cut off all contact with him. If he gets in your way, don't be afraid to put him in the dumpster where he belongs.
Keep reading to find out what to do if you lose a pile of money, and how to deal with death.

NL Division Series Preview
NL Division Series Preview:
As debates rage on among baseball enthusiasts about the proper recipients of awards, the MLB has quietly put together one of the greatest postseason races in the past decade, enhanced by the second wild card team. Whether there actually were more teams in contention, or the second slot just made it feel that way, it is a great time to be a baseball fan. This post season is littered with fresh faces and new teams. Superstars look to take the big stage and be heroes, preparing for their best Mr. October impressions. The Ninja is here for you to breakdown the MLB playoffs one step at time. Up first is the MLB division series.
NL Division Series Preview:
San Francisco v Cincinnati
Once again the Giants have handled the West with a team built on young arms. This staff is held together by the best catcher in the game, Buster Posey who has a WAR of 7.2, tops in the NL. Pump the brakes though; Madison Bumgarner has been stumbling down the stretch, giving up at least four runs in five of seven of his last starts. The dark horse for the Giants is Tim Lincecum (Let Timmy Smoke) who got hit like a high school pitcher in the first half has seemingly found the right strand, and represents the Giants' best shot to win after the Cainer. The Ninja doesn't foresee each of these pitchers having dominant starts, however the Reds arms are likely to do so. The stats are ridiculous for the Cincy staff: 3.34 ERA, 98 QS, 1.23 WHIP, and 7.73 K/9. With Jay Bruce and Joey Votto, the Reds will squeak enough offense by support their nasty pitching.
Pitching is the difference in this series; someone for San Fran doesn't show up.
Prediction: Cincinnati 3-2
Washington v St. Louis
Wow, the Nationals shut down Strasburg and it could cost them a World Series. Gio Gonzalez and Jordan Zimmerman are great options but how much better would Strasburg be in that 3 slot than an Edwin Jackson who looks like he's lost his legs down the stretch? Adam LaRoche and Ryan Zimmerman will have to mash some big home runs along with Bryce Harper continuing his clutch defense in order for the Nats to capitalize on their first post-season birth since 1933.The Cardinals are the challengers in this series, and look to use their relentless offense to keep runners on base and give the Nats young arms something to constantly worry about. First in the NL in on base percentage, (.338) and second in runs scored, (765) the Red Birds' offense is carried by Carlos Beltran, Matt Holliday, and Allen Craig. These three look to combine with a scrappy defense to overcome any questions about the Cardinals pitching, as playoff-hardened Wainwright and Carpenter will look to their postseason experience as an advantage.
Watch for this series to be higher scoring than expected. The Cardinals playoff experience will overcome a slightly more talented Nats roster.
Prediction: St. Louis 3-1

Fraser V. Fraser This Saturday in Sportsman 150 at Petty International Raceway
RIVER GLADE, NB (August 2, 2011) – When Frank Fraser Jr. won the Napa Sportsman Super Series 100-lap feature at Petty International Raceway July 16 he had the benefit of his father's sage experience at the track working for him. But this time around local racing legend Frank Fraser Sr. (Shubenacadie, NS) will enter a car of his own as the series returns to Petty Saturday night for round four of six on its 2011 championship run – a battle Fraser Jr. (Stewiacke, NS) leads by a mere four markers over Scott Allen (Antigonish, NS).
While some might imagine Fraser Sr. would give his son a break, and vice versa, anyone who knows the ultra-competitive Fraser's understands both will enter the race with a notion to win if they can and if not, to at least beat the other one.
"It's all about bragging rights," said Frank Fraser Sr., who has been semi-retired for several years. "I just come back often enough to aggravate the young guys and have some fun. This deal was arranged when Shawn took delivery of the car. How could I say no? Especially with the history I've got with his family. It's a good car; we should be competitive."
Fraser Sr., a 2010 member of the Maritime Motorsports Hall of Fame and native of the Moncton area, will drive a car built in his race shop for Shawn McLean (Colpitt's Settlement, and grandson of former River Glade Speedway promoter Ernie McLean) who is unable to make this week's race due to a personal commitment. Ironically, the car Fraser Sr. will drive this week finished second to Fraser Jr. in the July series race at Petty. That, combined with knowing his father has perhaps raced more laps at Petty than any other driver, has Fraser Jr. thinking his father could be a threat to win.
"Anytime he's in a car on a track in New Brunswick he's a threat to win," said Fraser Jr. "Those tracks require muscle and he's an old school driver who can (still) get the job done. So long as he doesn't have anything break he'll make it interesting at some point; I just hope it's me he is racing when that happens. We've run four or five shows together but have never really raced each other – one of us always has had something go wrong. It will be fun."
And naturally there are a host of other drivers looking to make the trip to Victory Lane in the series last stop in New Brunswick this year including defending series champ Steve Ross (Waverley, NS) and local favourites Marcel Maillet (St. Antoine) and Marc Gautreau (Memramcook). More than 25 top sportsman teams are expected to enter what will be, at 150 laps, the longest race of the year for the series.
Saturday's race card at Petty will also feature the Atlantic Open Wheel Tour as well as four cylinder racing. All three divisions will see qualifying heat races set the stage for the feature races.
Racing action starts at 6 p.m. this Saturday at Petty International Raceway. A complete race day format is available [here].
Grandstand admission is just $20 for adults, $10 for youth aged eight to 15, and children seven and under will be admitted free (when accompanied by an adult). Pit admission is $25 and restricted to those 16 and older. Tickets are available at the track box office on race day.
Petty International Raceway is located on Highway 106, just 40 km west of Moncton, New Brunswick. To learn more about Petty International Raceway, its location, admission, policies, history, and more, please visit www.pettyraceway.com.

EPA cracks down on air qualityUPDATED 11:08 PM CDT May 17, 2014
The Environmental Protection Agency said it is taking a hard look at emission standards for refiners in an effort to protect public health.Video Transcript
STEPPING IN.. WHEN IT COMES TO STEPPING UP EMISSIONS STANDARDS FOR REFINERIES. THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY SAYS IT'S NEEDED TO PROTECT PUBLIC HEALTH. AND AT LEAST ONE LOCAL WATCHDOG GROUP IS SAYING IT'S ABOUT TIME. MY STORY IS ALL NEW AT 10. WHEN YOU LIVE IN THE SHADOW OF AN OIL REFINERY .. HOW IT COULD IMPACT YOUR HEALTH IS NEVER FAR FROM YOUR MIND. the air quality isn't that good if you have asthma or sinus problems.. IN LOUISIANA OIL COMPANIES ARE ALLOWED TO SELF-REPORT WHEN IT COMES TO ACCIDENTS, SPILLS OR LEAKS. 4:25 So would you tell a police officer when you've been speeding? Of course you wouldn't .. So we've got a real problem here in louisiana. That there is a lot of pollution happening. And of course the refineries do not tell on themselves. 41 IT'S BEEN A PROBLEM FOR YEARS SAYS ANN ROLFES WITH THE LOUISIANA BUCKET BRIGADE.. AN ENVIRONMENTAL WATCHDOG GROUP THAT HAS BEEN PUSHING FOR STRONGER REGULATIONS. 1:15 we've had to work for a long time to get the epa to take these steps.. And what is really telling.. Is the technology to control pollution exists. So the oil refineries..are being forced to do something ..to protect everybody's health.. A NEW EPA PROPOSAL WOULD, FOR THE FIRST TIME, REQUIRE MONITORING OF AIR CONCENTRATIONS OF BENZENE AROUND THE FENCE-LINE PERIMETER OF REFINERIES TO ENSURE EMISSIONS ARE CONTROLLED AND RESULTS MADE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC. IT WOULD ALSO REQUIRE UPGRADED EMISSION CONTROLS FOR STORAGE TANKS AND PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS FOR FLARES TO ENSURE THAT WASTE GASES ARE PROPERLY DESTROYED. EPA ADMINISTRATOR GINA MCCARTHY SAID "The common-sense steps we are proposing will protect the health of families who live near refineries and will provide them with important information about the quality of the air they breathe." WHEN THE UPDATES ARE FULLY IMPLEMENTED..TH E EPA ESTIMATES TOXIC AIR EMISSIONS WOULD BE REDUCED BY 5,600 TONS PER YEAR. VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUND EMISSIONS WOULD BE CUT BY APPROXIMATELY 52,000 TONS PER YEAR. 6:47 there is no question louisiana is far behind where we ought to be as far as pollution control is concerned. 54 and yet you have to applaud a baby step when you see it. 58 THE AMERICAN FUEL AND PETROCHEMICAL MANUFACTURERS PRESIDENT CHARLES DREVNA SAIND IN A STATEMENT THURSDAY THAT THE RISK OF AIR CONTAMINATION 'DOES NOT JUSTIFY' NEW EPA CONTROLS.

The on-loan striker took his tally for the season to 16 goals in 22 appearances since joining the Sky Blues from Nottingham Forest in August.
It was the fourth time the 25-year-old had netted a brace this season and it left the former Southampton player desperate to score a treble.
He told the club's official website: "I was dying for that hat-trick but it wasn't to be.
"I haven't scored one for the club yet and I missed a couple of chances to do that.
"Most importantly, though, everyone is chipping in at the moment. Adam Barton and Franck (Moussa) scored two great goals and it is important that it isn't just me getting the goals.
"I am really looking forward to each game at the moment and the side are full of confidence which always helps me out."

King Lear
by William Shakespeare
King Lear Gender Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Act.Scene.Line). Line numbers correspond to the Norton edition.
Quote #7
Now all the plagues that in the pendulous air
Hang fated o'er men's faults light on thy daughters!
He hath no daughters, sir.
Death, traitor! Nothing could have subdued nature
To such a lowness but his unkind daughters. (3.4.73-77)
When Lear encounters Poor Tom (Edgar disguised as a poor, naked, beggar), he concludes that Poor Tom's terrible state must have been caused by Tom's "daughters." When the Fool points out that "Poor Tom" has no children, Lear insists that there's nothing in the world that could have reduced a man to such a lowly state… except "his unkind daughters." For Lear, it seems that all the problems of the world are caused by women.
Quote #8
Let not the creaking of shoes nor the rustling
of silks betray thy poor heart to woman. Keep thy
foot out of brothels, thy hand out of plackets, (3.4.101-103)
Disguised as Poor Tom, Edgar warns Lear not to be seduced or "betray[ed" by women, to stay out of the brothels, and to keep his hands out of "plackets" (slits in the skirts of petticoats). "Foot," by the way, is Edgar's way of punning on the French word "foutre" (f*@k).
Edgar's never been betrayed by any women in the play, so what's the deal with this nasty little diatribe against women? Does Edgar hate women as much as King Lear? Or, are we meant to read this passage as the insane ramblings of a (supposed) madman? In other words, is Shakespeare implying that this kind of attitude toward women is crazy?
Quote #9
Down from the waist they are centaurs,
Though women all above. But to the girdle do the
gods inherit; beneath is all the fiends'. There's hell,
there's darkness, there's the sulphurous pit; burning,
scalding, stench, consumption! Fie, fie, fie, pah,
pah! (4.6.140-145)
Women, Lear claims, seem pretty normal from the "waist" up but, down below there's "hell" and "darkness" like a "sulphurous pit." Lear's sexist description of female anatomy calls to mind the symptoms of a very unpleasant venereal disease—"burning, scalding, stench," and so on. It seems that King Lear associates all women with a very unpleasant STD, especially his daughter, Goneril, whose name, as you may have guessed, sounds a whole lot like "gonorrhea."

Stopping STARTDecember 7th, 2010
By Owen Graham and Matthew Foulger
The bilateral arms control treaty between the United States and Russia, known as New START has critical implications for the security of the U.S. and its allies. In a recent article, Senator John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) addresses concerns regarding the treaty. These include: limits on U.S. missile defense capabilities, a weak verification regime, and an outdated view of the world that embraces the paradigm of the Cold War by focusing only on Russia with its porous limits on nuclear warheads, delivery vehicles, and inspection regimes instead of looking at the new and shifting 21st Century challenges.
For Sen. Barrasso, this nuclear arms treaty hits close to home. On Oct. 26, 2010, one-ninth of the United State's land-based intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM) went offline at F. E. Warren Air Force. The senator asserts that by ratifying New START, the Senate risks taking America's nuclear deterrent offline. He is absolutely correct. This incident certainly reveals the need for the U.S. to modernize its nuclear weapons arsenal as soon as possible in order to maintain its nuclear deterrent. Yet the Administration's plan is overwhelmingly weighted in favor of sustainment over modernization. Current White House policies bar steps that would lead to the development and procurement of "new nuclear warheads" or "capabilities" to meet new missions in the 21st Century. Furthermore the president's threat to withhold money on nuclear program unless Senators vote to ratify New START rings hollow and is reprehensible. The President has no way of guaranteeing the money because the Congress passes the budget. Conditioning funding for nuclear program on New START is playing politics with our national security.
The senator's reasoning for opposing New START is logically sound. The treaty imposes significant restrictions on U.S. missile defense. These are found in the treaty, its protocols, and annexes. Paragraph 9 of the Preamble also establishes a bias against missile defense and codifies the old "balance of terror." Building a comprehensive and layered missile defense will be much more difficult under the treaty. Indeed, these restrictions will leave the United States and our allies increasingly vulnerable to growing ballistic missile threats from Iran and North Korea or coalitions of hostile parties. In pursuit of New START, the Administration is holding to a cold-war view of the global environment where the U.S. falsely perceived Russia as its only nuclear rival.
With respect to the verification regime, New START is far less verifiable than the original treaty. The U.S. will know significantly less about current and future Russian missiles under New START, and the Russians will be able to do much to advance and expand their strategic forces. The consequences of circumvention or cheating are more dangerous when nuclear forces come down and in the absence of robust U.S. missile defenses.
The Administration is currently rushing to ram New START through the brief "lame duck" session of Congress. Treaties requiring cuts to the U.S. nuclear arsenal require more scrutiny than others. Moreover, Senate consideration of New START during lame duck is also inappropriate for procedural reasons. This is why the Republican Senators-elect have written a letter to Senator Reid (D-NV), the Majority Leader, which states that it should be their responsibility to consider and vote on this treaty in the "lame duck." They will be seated next month and need time to become educated on the content of the treaty.
Senator Barrasso has pointed out major flaws regarding New START. The treaty, if ratified as it currently stands, would undermine the security of the U.S. and its allies. Instead of hastily forcing the Senate vote during the "lame duck" session, the new Senate should be given enough time to become educated on the treaty and address its numerous flaws.

Public hearing for Fryeburg water lease
FWC wants to lease well to Nestle Waters
UPDATED 9:38 AM EST Mar 07, 2013
There is a proposal for Fryeburg Water Company to lease one of its wells to Nestle Waters of North America and the Maine Public Utilities Commission is looking for public input on the matter.
They'll hold a public hearing beginning at 6:00 pm in the Fryeburg Legion Hall at 47 Bradley Street tonight.
FWC submitted its proposed contract to the commission in August of last year.
It would allow Nestle, which owns Poland Spring, to lease the well and extract water from it.
Nestle would have to pay for a minimum amount of water yearly for 25 years, with provisions allowing extension of the contract.

There's been little news out of the VELVET REVOLVER camp lately regarding a new singer for the band, although auditions have reportedly been ongoing. Bassist Duff McKagan told The Pulse of Radio this week that the group has been a little frustrated with the submissions they've gotten and even wondered if they would ever find the right guy. But McKagan also said that things have recently taken a positive turn. "In the last, I would say, about eight weeks, we got three guys in that were all really good — like, far and above, more fitting than the rest," he said. "So I can say this much: we're headed in a very positive direction, and you might be hearing something soon."VELVET REVOLVER has been searching for a new vocalist since dismissing Scott Weiland last April. Although several names have been rumored online, the only singer known to have auditioned with the band is ex-SPACEHOG frontman Royston Langdon. VELVET REVOLVER also parted ways with RCA Records late last year and has not announced a new deal yet. Duff McKagan's side band, LOADED, will issue its third album next month, while McKagan continues his career as a columnist at SeattleWeekly.com and a financial columnist at Playboy.com. VELVET REVOLVER guitarist Slash is working on a solo album, while drummer Matt Sorum recently launched a clothing line and store.

Written on: 03/02/2013 by RobertPreston (1 review written)
I found this book extremely well written and i was impressed as small details of the storyline fell into place as the story went along.
As the tension builds up, the emotional scenes that appear put you right into the scene being recreated. I had tears in my eyes in some parts. Thats what i call a good read.
The fact that it is based in London makes it easy for me to relate to and this made it all the more interesting.
For a recent Author, i wanted to congratulate him on publishing such an emotional, well written crime story. The violence was strong but not over the top and the tension created was first class.
I give a thumbs up and a recommended read.

Sports for Winter Games this year included badminton, basketball, volleyball and dodgeball. The SMF did not win the tournament overall, but managed to clinch an SMF badminton win. Note, two SMF teams were in the finals! Fisher Games is one of the most popular events for Fisher graduate students as it features sports, food, and embarrassing faculty members (all in good fun, of course). I am looking forward to repeat badminton championship next year!

Recent and future activities
We organized a mobile manipulation workshop at ICRA 2010, ICRA 2011, RSS 2011, RSS 2012, have submitted a proposal to organize one at ICRA 2013 and we are currently putting together one for RSS 2013. We are also organizing a summit in Berlin: www.berlinsummit.org.
Mobile Manipulation
The goal of Autonomous Mobile Manipulation is the execution of complex manipulation tasks in unstructured and dynamic environments, in which cooperation with humans may be required. To achieve this goal, several scientific and engineering challenges, currently beyond the state of the art in robotics, must be addressed. These include generality across tasks and novel situations, operating in high-dimensional state spaces, managing uncertainty in sensing and actuation, and tight integration of planning, perception, and control. The scope of this technical committee encompasses research activities that address one or more of the afore mentioned challenges of mobile manipulation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the
Mode Button
do? The
mode button
affects how the images are loaded, operated on and saved. Images can be tiled, scrolled, and zoomed together.
Single mode - Works on the FRONT image window. Click on the window you wish to use.
Select mode - Presents a dialog in which you select the windows on which to work.
Group mode - Works on the FRONT image window and all others in its group.
All mode - Works on all image windows.
How does the
mode button
affect the
XY scatter plots
? The mode button does not affect making the plots, but once the plot is made, it is affected in the same way other images are affected (tiling, zooming, etc.).
How do you pick which
does its thing? The group with the FRONT image window is the selected group. The layer (depth) of other windows does not matter. Just click on one of the windows in the group.
How do I use the
Make sure the XY scatter plot is visible.
Click on the Traceback button.
Draw a line on the XY plot. This is the fixed side of a parallelogram.
Draw another line roughly perpendicular to the first line - this is an adjacent side of the parallelogram, which will be moveable while you hold the mouse button down.
How do I find the
of an image or a spot in an image?
'Info -> Rect stats' gives an intensity weighted centroid ('C Mass', pixel units for images. I'm working on something better for XY scatter plots).
Set the rectangle first. For the whole image, use 'Rectangle -> Select all'.
Which images are reported depends on the mode button.
How do I
select a rectangle
? (Select using one image. Can affect any image.)
Make sure the image you want to use is visible. (at least a part of it anyway).
'Rectangle -> Draw'
Immediately draw the diagonal of the rectangle on the image.
This will set the Image Rectangle parameter, or change it if it was set already.
disappeared. How do I get it back? 'Rectangle -> Show'. The rectangle is stored as a parameter in 'Info -> List Parameters', 'Image Rectangle', as x1 y1 x2 y2, upper left corner to lower right corner. (the origin of the images is at the upper left). The rectangle is drawn temporarily, and will disapear whenever the window is redrawn.
Conversely, When I draw a new rectangle, the old one doesn't go away. How do I get rid of it? Redraw the window with 'Arrange -> redraw', then 'Rectangle -> show' to display the new rectangle again.
Why two
buttons? The Info button at the lower left concerns Lispix in general - location of data, memory usage, control parameters, help. The Info button in the center concerns image windows - sizes, limits, properties.
Why doesn't 'Info -> Pixel info on click' do anything?
* If the text window doesn't show up when you click on an image, let
* If you are asked to select windows after each click, use another image mode.
* If you see the text window, it might need scrolling to the bottom to see the results.
When I
an image, it turns
all white
! What happened? The image is scrolled out of the window. Use 'Arrange -> Size to image' to bring it back. [If this makes the window too big, leg
know and I'll add a 'Center in window', or 'Reset' or something to bring the scroll position to something sensible.] The image zooms about the center of the window. Small images, such as the xray maps, are shown at the upper left of a window that is too large, thus the image gets zoomed out of the window. If the windows are sized to the image before zooming, they should not appear enbtirely white after zooming.
How do I get rid of those
small titles
in the image windows? 'Arrange -> Small titles off'
How do I
print images
? Lispix does not print directly. I print using Photoshop, after transferring the image using a screen grab or writing a TIFF file. The screen grab is necessary to print graphics, labels, axes, etc.
How do I
save plots
or images with graphics, labels, axes etc.? Use a screen grab. Lispix saves only image data and the look up table.
Why are some of the
menu items
grayed out or
? These items are in MacLispix and have not been put into Lispix, simply because I haven't needed them yet. If you need them, let
know and I'll try and put them in right away.
The image
like mad when I use a threshold or contrast slider. This happens on the PC when the image does not completely fill the window. Make sure the image is not scrolled out of bounds (even a little bit), or use 'Arrange -> Size to image'.
What is a
? A mask is a binary (bit) or black/white image. White pixels are considered 'on', or 'foreground', or 'object'. Black pixels are background. Masks can be used to control various statistical operations, and the traceback.
Masks are made using the 'Mask' button. 'from Rectangle' and 'from Threshold' use the mode button and the rectangle or thresholds that are already there. 'Mouse parallelogram' works on the front image - mouse a parallelogram on the front image and see the mask.
How do I draw a
? Draw a line. This line is fixed. (Let mouse button up.) Draw another line approximately perpendicular to the first. The resulting three sides to the parallelogram are movable until you let up on the mouse.
Why doesn't a window revert to
scale when I close a
? Change the setting with 'Color -> gray on close?' Otherwise, use the 'Gray Scale' button.
How can I get the
to go away when the image is
? 'Arrange -> Close' in Group mode, with the image in front.
I get
mixed up. How can I tell which goes with which?
The title for the slider includes the title for the image.
The slider and image are in the same group. Click on one of them, change the mode to 'Group Mode', and then use 'Arrange -> Pop to front' to see them both.
Use 'Group -> List members' to see who goes with whom.
How do I find out the
of pixel values of a
of images? Select the desired mode. 'Scale -> fixed limits' will default to the global range of data. If performed, this operation scales all of the images to the given limits. Alternatively, 'Info -> Sizes & Limits' will list the range for each image individually.
How do I change the
color of a scatter diagram? Any color of a pseudo-colored image can be changed with 'Color -> change one color'. Since the scatter diagrams made with the 2&3Variable widget are images (scatter diagrams of all the pixels in an image), rather than plots, and since they are false colored (that is what the slider does that appears with the window), use 'Pick color', then 'Color -> change one color', and pick 0 for the level.
Will Lispix ever have an '
' command? No. If there is a particular situation that is often annoying, let
know - perhaps I can improve the user interface there.
Function has no
message. Please let
know and i'll add it.
The '
-> List members' doesn't list all of my windows. It works according to the mode button. Change the mode button to 'all im mode' to make sure all of the windows are listed. (If they are ALL in the same group, the group mode will also work, but then you haven't learned much. :8o).
I have trouble loading images in the
mode. Make sure that ONLY the proper images are selected. Note that the first file in the list is selected by default. If you hold down the control key while making multiple selections - watch out for that first file.
'File -> Open' doesn't do anything. -- The default read directory may no longer be there. Use 'File -> Show defaults', 'File -> Clear defaults', or 'File -> Set default read directory.'
image files
sometimes don't appear in the file selection dialog ('File -> Open'). In the 'Single' mode, you should see your images, and can select one of them. In the other modes, the dialog is to select a directory, and the images will not appear. After selecting the directory, a list of images appears for selection of one or more images at a time.
Image types and file extensions
that Lispix recognizes in 'File -> Open', can be listed with 'File -> File Extensions'.
How do I load a tiff file that does not have a .tif or a .tiff extension. Lispix doesn't recognize it as a tiff file. -- Lispix recognizes files by their extension. The best was is to change the extension of the file. (If the TIFF file has no extension, Lispix will try to load it.)
There is a work around for tiff files:
Widgets -> Data Cube
Load -> as TIFF files
Image -> slices to windows
This works because the cube loader doesn't care about file extensions. The last step above is to make a separate window with the one tiff image, if you wish to do that and have loaded more than one tiff file into the cube.
Is there an easy way to change file extensions? 'Widgets -> Process Folder -> Change file names -> Change Extensions'.
How to I get conveniently to the
page for a particular button? If the button or command has a doc page, the name will follow the :html in the doc message that you see when you hold down the control key while selecting that button or command. After doing this, then click on 'Print this', then select and copy the HTML file name from LxDoc/... (to the right). Go to your web browser, which should already be at a Lispix doc page, for instance the Lx Doc home page. Then paste the page into the file (or url) name at LxDoc, and hit enter.
Where are some
sample images
? Sample images are in the 'Lx / Images' folder. You must
the images separately: I do not bundle them with the application archive because they double its size. The 'Demo' button has a few items that display sample images if they are there: 'Demo -> Betsy', 'Demo -> Display Koala', 'Demo -> RGB Koala'. Otherwise, use 'File -> Open' and navigate to 'Lx / Images / ...'
How do I get
from my microscope into my computer?
1) Directly - some microscopes save their images in files directly.
2) Use a frame grabber board. These boards often have drivers or plug-ins that work with
Image or
Adobe Photoshop
. They go in your computer, and are wired directly to your microscope.
3) Scan prints or negatives. Lispix doesn't work with scanners, but
Image and
How to I find or
uncover a window
that's under a bunch of others?
For the text info window, use 'Info -> Pop info window'.
For images: 'Arrange -> Pop to front' in one of the modes might do it.
'Arrange -> Pop Everything' also pops buttons, and other assorted windows.
If it is a certain type of window that you are always trying to find, ask
to make a special tool. It would probably be useful for others.
How do I make a
or mosaic of images?
To paste images together to make a larger one for processing as one image, use 'Edit -> Collect images'. Images are arranged in a row, alphabetically, left to right.
For images in a folder: To load images directly from the image files, shrink them, and paste the small version into a large image, labeled (?), for printing, use 'Process Folder (widget) -> Mosaic -> of folder'.
How do I make a
scatter diagram
using a
? I want to do a plot using X ana Y pixels, ONLY where a mask pixel is white - ignoring pixels where the mask is black.
1) Get an X, Y and Z image. Threshold the Z image to make a mask.
a) 'Single' mode, click on Z image to bring to front.
b)Thresh -> Threshold Slider', select the thresholds you want.
c) 'Mask -> From Threshold'. Rename the threshold image if desired.
2)'Widgets -> 2 & 3 Variables'
a) Select the X, Y and mask images.
b) 'XY Scat -> 2D with mask.'
Does Lispix have
key stroke
equivalents for the buttons or menus? No.
Any easy ways to line up a fat
plot perpendicular to a straight interface? Yes - turn the cursor on, position it near where you want the interface to be, then line it up on the interface using the adjustment points at the ends of the profile line.
How do I apply a
correction? 'Color -> Gamma slider'. If you want to save the corrected image, use 'File -> Save as TIFF'. {Note - 3/29/00 - this doesn't work yet, but should soon.} If you want to print the image, use a screen grab and print using NIH Image, Scion Image, ImageJ or the like. (Photoshop has its own gamma correction tool - see 'Image -> Adjust Levels' and slide the center triangle pointer.)
How do I 'do' the
log 3-band
color scale
? This color scale is for use with
maps and quantitated X-ray maps, where the concentration fraction (weight percent) ranges from 0.0 to 1.0. If you are doing something other than using the K-Ratio widget, first make sure the useful image pixel values range from 0.0 to 1.0 (outliers are ok). Then 'Widgets -> Kratio' if window is not already there, then use 'Color Scale -> log 3 band'.
How do I make the
color scale
itself? 'Edit -> Log Ramp', then 'Widgets -> K Ratio' if necessary, then 'Color Scale -> Log 3-band'. If the ramp width is greater than the height, it will be horizontal. The default is a vertical ramp.
Can I make the
slider work for more than one
image at a time? Yes. Sliders work on images in the same group.
Why does the
window paste the last output in the middle of previous output, which I no longer care about? The result is confusing. -- Output is printed to the info window at the insertion point. Ways to avoid this mixup of output:
1) Close the info window each time. Lispix will make a new one.
2) Never click on the info window. If you do, click at the end to put the insertion point there.
3) Bug me to fix this problem. :8o).
When I
images, Why dont' they mov?. - Make sure the mode button is set correctly - usually Group or All. Why don't I see all the images? They might be covered by other windows. Tiling the images does not bring them to the front. Use 'Arrange -> Pop to front' to do that.
How do I close all those extra images I no longer need without closing everything else?
1) Method 1
All image mode
'Arrange -> Tile'
manually close the images you don't want.
2) Method 2
Select mode
'Arrange -> Close', and select the images by title.
How do I scale an image when Lispix says it needs a pix image to scale? Lispix does not scale 8 bit images generally - the contrast slider ('Color sliders -> Contrast') or thermal slider are for that. Sometimes, however, scaling is needed that the sliders do not provide, such as histogram equalization ('Scale -> Equalize'). In that case, convert the image to a pix image with 'Adjust -> Byte to Pix', and then scale.

In this paper, we present a technique for fingerprinting relational data by extending Agrawal et al.'s watermarking scheme. The primary new capability provided by our scheme is that, under reasonable assumptions, it can embed and detect arbitrary bit-string marks in relations. This capability, which is not provided by prior techniques, permits our scheme to be used as a fingerprinting scheme. We then present quantitative models of the robustness properties of our scheme. These models demonstrate that fingerprints embedded by our scheme are detectable and robust against a wide variety of attacks including collusion attacks.
Fingerprint, relational database, robustness, collusion attack.

A.M. Vitals: Federal Prosecutors Want $1 Billion From Johnson & Johnson
Settlement Terms?: Federal prosecutors want Johnson & Johnson to pay about $1 billion to settle a years-long investigation of whether the company marketed the antipsychotic Risperdal for unapproved uses, the WSJ reports, citing people familiar with the matter. Settlement talks could break down, and that figure isn't set in stone, the paper says. J&J said only that discussions were ongoing, and spokespeople for prosecutors wouldn't comment.
Online Pharmacies, Part 1: A study published in Health Affairs hypothesizes that the the growth in online sales of prescription drugs is tied to an increase in painkiller and stimulant abuse, Time's Healthland blog reports. The research can't prove a direct link, but notes that for every 10% increase in internet use, there's a 1% rise in admissions to treatment facilities for those commonly abused drugs, Time says.
Online Pharmacies, Part 2: Google is setting aside as much as $500 million to resolve a U.S. Justice Department probe into whether the company knowingly accepted ads for illegitimate online pharmacies, the WSJ reports, citing people familiar with the matter and a regulatory filing. Spokespeople for Google and the Justice Department wouldn't comment.
Defending His Health Record: Mitt Romney, who is again seeking the Republican presidential nomination, defended the health-care plan he instituted while governor of Massachusetts but said the Obama administration's health-care overhaul modeled after those state efforts constitutes a "federal power grab," the WSJ reports. Romney said the Massachusetts plan was the right thing for the state, given that a "half-million" people "were frightened because they did not have insurance," but invoked the constitutional argument that the states should be allowed to come up with their own solutions rather than having the federal government impose a single law.

Hemophilia is a rare inherited bleeding disorder in which the blood does not clot normally. Persons with hemophilia may bleed for a longer time than others after an injury or accident. They also may bleed internally, especially in the joints (e.g., knees, ankles, and elbows).
Babies born with hemophilia are missing or have a low level of a protein needed for normal blood clotting or blood coagulation. The protein is called a clotting factor.
About 18,000 people in the United States have hemophilia. Each year, about 400 babies are born with the disorder. Hemophilia usually occurs only in males (with very rare exceptions).
A person with hemophilia has a problem with certain proteins in the blood called clotting factors. Hemophilia can be due to:
What is clotting?An injury (like a cut) to a blood vessel causes a complex chain of events that results in a blood clot. This clotting process is also called blood coagulation. Clotting is your body's reaction to bleeding and keeps you from losing too much blood. Losing too much blood can be life threatening and can damage your internal organs.
What is a clotting factor?Clotting factors are proteins in the blood that work with platelets – a type of small blood cell – to help the blood to clot. When blood vessels are damaged, clotting factors help the platelets stick together to plug cuts and breaks at the site of the injury.
In people with hemophilia, blood does not clot as it should because it is missing or has low levels of one of these clotting factors. If blood doesn't clot as quickly or as well as it should, then:
Types of hemophiliaThe two main types of hemophilia are:
Hemophilia can be:
What causes hemophilia?Hemophilia is an inherited disorder. It is caused by a defect in the genes that determine how the body makes blood clotting factors VIII and IX. These genes are located on the X chromosomes, which determine whether a baby is a boy or girl.
Chromosomes come in pairs. Females have two X chromosomes, while males have one X and one Y chromosome. A woman is a "carrier" if she has a defective gene for factor VIII or factor IX on one of her X chromosomes. She can pass the defective gene on to her children.
A man who has hemophilia cannot pass the disorder on to his sons. All of his daughters, however, will be carriers.
Very rarely, a girl is born with hemophilia. This can happen if her father has hemophilia and her mother is a carrier.
Some males with the disorder are born to mothers who are not carriers. In these cases, a random change (mutation) occurs in the gene as it is passed to the child.
Signs and symptoms of hemophiliaThe major signs and symptoms of hemophilia are bleeding and bruising. Internal bleeding is common in people with severe hemophilia. If not treated promptly, internal bleeding can lead to damaged joints, muscles, or other parts of the body.
The extent of bleeding depends on the type and severity of the condition:
The most common signs or symptoms in older children and adults are:
Although bleeding can occur in any joint, the most common places are the:
Bleeding in the brain, a very serious complication of hemophilia, requires emergency treatment. This bleeding can happen after a simple bump on the head or a more serious injury. The signs and symptoms are:
DiagnosisIf hemophilia is suspected or if you appear to have a bleeding problem, your doctor will take a personal and family history, do a physical exam, and order blood tests.
Blood tests are used to determine:
Hemophilia A and B are classified as mild, moderate, or severe, depending on the amount of clotting factor VIII (8) or IX (9) in the blood.
Mild hemophilia: >530 percent of normal factor
Moderate hemophilia: 15 percent of normal factor
Severe hemophilia: Less than 1 percent of normal factor
Severe hemophilia can cause serious bleeding problems in babies. Therefore, children with severe hemophilia are usually diagnosed during the first year of life. People with milder forms of hemophilia may not be diagnosed until they are adults.
The bleeding problems of hemophilia A and hemophilia B are the same. These two types of hemophilia can only be distinguished by special blood tests. Distinguishing hemophilia A from hemophilia B is important because the treatments are different.
TreatmentThe main treatment for hemophilia is replacement therapy – giving or replacing the clotting factor that is too low or missing. Concentrates of the clotting factor are infused, or injected, directly into the bloodstream. The specific factors used to treat hemophilia are:
Sources of clotting factorsThe clotting factor concentrates used in replacement therapy come from two sources:
Clotting factors used in replacement therapy today are:
Replacement therapy to prevent bleedingReplacement therapy can be given on a regular basis to prevent bleeding. The goal is to keep the levels of clotting factors in the blood high enough that bleeding will not occur.
This therapy is more likely to be used in persons with severe hemophilia. It is often used in children to prevent damage to joints from bleeding.
Preventive replacement therapy can be given:
Replacement therapy to stop bleeding when it occursReplacement therapy can be given as needed, or on demand, to stop bleeding as soon as possible after it begins. The goal is to prevent damage to joints, muscles, or other parts of the body from bleeding. This therapy is common for people with mild or moderate hemophilia.
The amount of clotting factor given depends on:
People who use this form of treatment must learn to recognize bleeding when it occurs. Treatment must begin right away to limit damage. Family members should also learn to watch for signs of bleeding in a child. Children sometimes ignore signs of bleeding because they want to avoid the discomfort of treatment.
Complications of replacement therapyComplications of treatment include:
Antibodies to the clotting factorAntibodies destroy the clotting factor before it has a chance to work. This is a very serious problem, because the main treatment for hemophilia – replacing clotting factors – is no longer effective.
Antibodies to clotting factor develop in about:
Viruses from human blood factorsThe viruses that cause AIDS (HIV) and hepatitis can be carried in clotting factors. However, no documented case of transmission of these viruses has occurred for about a decade. Transmission of viruses has been prevented by:
Damage due to delays in treatmentWhen treatment for bleeding is delayed, damage to the area affected (such as a joint) can occur. It is important for persons with hemophilia to learn to recognize signs of bleeding as soon as possible after bleeding starts and to get treatment quickly.
Home treatmentBoth preventive and as-needed therapy can be done at home. Many people learn to do the infusions at home for their child or for themselves. Home treatment has several advantages:
Vein access devices can be surgically implanted to make it easier to access a vein to do the infusions. These devices can be helpful when infusions are done on a frequent basis. However, infections can be a problem with these devices. Your doctor can help you decide if this type of device is right for you or your child.
Hemophilia treatment centersA nationwide network of HTCs, funded by the Federal Government, is an important resource for families and individuals affected by hemophilia. The medical experts in these centers provide treatment, education, and support. They can teach you or your child how to do home infusions safely. Center staff can also provide information to your doctor.
People who get care in these centers are less likely than those who get care elsewhere to have bleeding complications. This lack of complications may be due to the centers' emphasis on prevention of bleeding and the education and support provided to patients and their caregivers.

New York State Police say they have been responding to more reports of clandestine methamphetamine labs.
State police say they found more than 100 meth labs last year, double the number the year before.
So far in 2013, troopers have been called to 93 clandestine labs or incidents and they're looking for the public's help in dealing with the growing problem.
Trooper Jennifer Fleishman, a state police spokeswoman, says police are typically finding "one-pot meth labs," as opposed the larger-scale operations.
Albany lawmakers are looking into reforming laws dealing with methamphetamine.
WPTZ's Bridget Shanhan's reported a series of stories highlighting the growing problem of meth in the North Country. Topics included the fact that landlords are not required to tell potential renters if their future home was once a meth house.

Fan of the Month – MIKE PENBURTHY
Soon after my grandmother gave me my first piano, I commenced pianoforte training. The year was 1965, and I had just turned 8.Television had not yet come to Inverell, a small town in Northern NSW, Australia. Our radio - or wireless, as we called them in those days - would go all day, playing all the best music the 60's had to offer. My mother and her sisters loved to sing and dance and I remember us singing to the top of our voices with the radio up full volume. As a child I did not realize that this music was being nurtured within me, and that this era in music would become my personal favorite.
We often visited my uncle and auntie's farm, about 10 kilometers out of
Inverell. It was usual for us children to organize a concert on the back
verandah to entertain the adults. We used the wood box as our stage,
and of course we sang and "performed" only the latest hits the radio
was playing. I remember quite vividly singing what was to become my
favorite Petula Clark song "Colour My World." I was chosen to do the
introduction melody, which went something like "Dang Dang Dang Dang"
. We sang to a packed audience of four adults. And boy, were we good!!!
It was not until 2004 that I had the pleasure of being at Petula's first ever
Australian concert, held at The Queensland Performing Arts Centre,
Brisbane. Following that concert I spoke to Petula as she signed my
programme. I asked her if she would write "To Mike, Colour My World, Petula". She stopped, looked up at me and paused, then said "I'll just sign it". I went on to tell her that that was my favorite song of hers.
She replied "How strange". I'm not sure what she meant by that?
As a child, and I guess well into my adult years, I didn't give a lot of thought to who actually wrote the songs I loved so much. And I was quite ignorant of the common thread in the songs of Petula, which I enjoyed most:
"I Couldn't Live Without Your Love" (just love those words!)
"Don't Sleep In The Subway"
"The Other Man's Grass"
And of course, "Who Am I".
In the midst of all this musical discovery, another song was starting to get a lot of local air-play.
I didn't know the singers name at first, but I really loved the song; and that voice!!!!!
The song was "Where Are You Now" and of course the artist was our Jackie Trent.
And a fan was born.
It was not until years later that I discovered that Jackie had co-written the Petula songs I enjoyed so much. I have always admired and envied the gift of a wonderful singing voice. However the fact that someone has the gift to write words and music that millions of people can relate to and enjoy, is simply amazing to me.
By my mid teens I was confident enough with my piano to play my favorite music for my own enjoyment; and for family and friends. At sixteen I commenced playing the pipe organ in our local church for services, plus weddings and funerals. I have remained the church organist for nearly forty years. (Paul – photo at organ)
Over the years I have become quite well known in our community for my modest musical ability.
Once, and once only, I played a much slower, slightly disguised "The Other Man's Grass" as the processional at the beginning of the service. No-one made comment, so I am not sure whether it was frowned upon, or simply not recognized?
My dad Col is a carpenter, and as I had no idea what career path I would follow when I left school; it was easier to go with dad and learn the trade. Soon after starting my apprenticeship I knew it was not what I wanted to do. However I did complete the course, having a personality that always likes to finish what I start.
The Inverell Hospital (although much smaller today than it was thirty years ago) is one of the main
employers of our community. In fact I am one of eight membersof my family
who have been employed there. Both my sisters currently have clerical
positions and it is now over thirty years since I commenced my nurse
Meanwhile, by this time I knew the name "Jackie Trent". I have always
been drawn to her strong, individual, beautiful voice, and I associated
her with Tony Hatch. I had also seen photos and now could identify her.
I had added to my record collection "The Two Of Us", "Love Is Me, Love
Is You" and "Make It Easy On Yourself" - to name a few of my favorites.
It was not until Jackie and Tony relocated to Australia, and became
regulars on Australian variety television programmes, that I realized how
attractive Jackie is: and what a vibrant, charismatic and humorous
personality she is. Yes, I was infatuated! I made sure I watched any programme that guest-starred Jackie.
As time moved on I married and raised four children in a simple three-bedroom cottage in an ordinary street in Inverell: such a lovely environment to raise a family. Just this month
I have welcomed my third precious grandchild and yes, just like his two
cousins, "Poppy" was present at the birth. Paul – photo with new baby?)
Now in my "matured" years, I have been developing a new interest: I have
trained as a volunteer radio presenter, on Inverell"s local community radio,
STA-FM. My weekly programme is - you guess it – 60's Music - with a
certain lady receiving more than her fair share of air time!!!!! It is amazing
how many people in this community listen and enjoy the music of their youth.
It was during one of my programmes, playing "Make It Easy On Yourself", that I decided to try and contact Jackie. After a little "Google" I built up the nerve to e-mail her. To my utter amazement and delight, she replied…….Well, the e-mail is in my "SAVED" folder.
I missed seeing and hearing Jackie on her last concert tour of Australia. It was during the break-up of my marriage and a very emotional time for me. Thankfully, I have my C.D's. My most favorite song of Jackie's is "I'll be Near You": so beautiful; such lovely words. I love to lay on my sofa with the stereo full throttle and take the words and music in. The trumpet accompaniment gives a definite Burt Bacharach feel.
Well, I think so!!!!
To any reader of this article: if you don't have this track, do yourself a favor and seek it out.
It is Jackie Trent at her best.

Parking in Budapest is worse than traffic. It is worse than most anything in this city. Finding parking spots is a constant problem in Budapest, no matter how good you are at it. We leave right by the Synagogue and it is one of the places which used to be OK just a year ago. Today, it is a parking disaster area.
In the last couple of years the Synagogue has become a major tourist attraction and they are using nightly it for concerts and other events. Because of this, I can never ever find a spot near my apartment in the evening.
During the day the traffic jam mostly consists of cars circling around trying to find parking. They make one round after the other, getting more and more frustrated. I cannot complain, I am doing the same, circling around in ever increasing frustration.
Then there are the parking fines. You get a parking fine if your meter ...

When should you start planning for retirement? Sooner the better, actually. The earlier you start, the less has to be saved in the long run. ICICI Prudential recently launched two unit-linked pension plans - Life Time pension and Life Link pension, both long-term retirement pension plans.
While Life Time is a regular premium product, Life Link is a single premium one. The plans provide regular income for life based on the vesting date chosen by the insured. The amount received on retirement depends on premium paid, market value of the investment and option of the annuity chosen.

A Boeing 747-8 freighter landed on June 17 at Hartsfield-Jackson for the first time. The new aircraft, which is scheduled to be delivered to airlines later in the year, was on its certification flight.
Atlanta Fire Rescue crews greeted the plane with a water-cannon salute, and Airport employees and media representatives were on hand to welcome the freighter, which is estimated to save 20 percent in fuel costs while carrying more cargo than the current models.
Four airlines that operate at Hartsfield-Jackson — Cargolux, Korean Airlines, British Airways and Cathay Pacific Airways — will operate the new 747-8 here when it becomes available.
Hartsfield-Jackson made airfield modifications, such as painting ramp markings, to ensure that the Airport could accommodate the large freighter.
Some facts about the 747-8:
• The 747-8 will be 18.3 feet longer than the 747-400F and will have a maximum structural payload capability of 154 tons.
The Boeing 747-8 arrived to a water cannon salute.
The freighter arrived at Hartsfield-Jackson for the first time on June 17.
The new aircraft will be delivered to airlines later this year. Four airlines that operate at Hartsfield-Jackson will use the 747-8.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) - Maxwell Smith threw three long touchdown passes and Jalen Whitlow and Raymond Sanders each added scoring runs as Kentucky beat Miami (Ohio) 41-7 on Saturday.
The Wildcats made a winner of first-year coach Mark Stoops and Smith, who started for the first time since a season-ending ankle injury last September.
Most importantly for the Wildcats (1-1) was how Smith helped offensive coordinator Neal Brown's pass-oriented "Air Raid" philosophy take flight with TD passes of 48 yards to Jonathan George, 88 to Javess Blue and 56 to Jeff Badet. He completed 15 of 23 passes for 310 yards, 210 by halftime, as Kentucky outgained Miami 675-122 and allowed the RedHawks' only score on a fumbled punt return.
Whitlow, alternating with Smith, had Kentucky's first TD on a 9-yard run, and Sanders added a 5-yard score. Joe Mansour added two field goals.
Kentucky's win came before 54,846, delighted by the offensive excitement.
