"In the hours after the worst of our fears were confirmed, in the midst of the grief and sorrow over the loss of 20 innocent children and six dedicated educators at Sandy Hook Elementary School, there was one question on the minds of people across Connecticut and around the nation: How do we make sure this never happens again?
"Today the President took the critical first step toward answering that question. The common sense measures he proposed today are something that we should all be able to agree on, and I want to commend him and the Vice President for their work on this issue."
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy
"I support the Administration's specific call for universal criminal background checks, bans on deadly assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, national criminal database improvements, increases in mental health funding, federal gun violence research, and anti-trafficking proposals. I will continue to fight for mandatory background checks on ammunition purchases, which are the black hole of gun violence prevention."
U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal
"These are strong recommendations, and Congress should act on them now-before another mass tragedy occurs. If assault weapons and high capacity magazines were not so readily available, I am convinced there would be more little boys and girls alive in Newtown today. If background checks were universal, our city streets would be safer. There are no longer any excuses for inaction. If the horror of Sandy Hook doesn't move Congress to act on common sense gun laws, I have no idea what will. I'm so appreciative of the leadership of President Obama and Vice President Biden on this issue, especially their willingness to involve the Sandy Hook parents and families in this effort. Now, it's time to get to work."
U.S. Sen. Chris Murphy
"Above all, this is about saving lives. Families in Newtown want to know their children are safe and that other families are spared the same horrific loss they've experienced. I commend the President for taking immediate and concrete steps today to reduce gun violence. I also agree that we need a commonsense, comprehensive approach to prevent gun violence that includes reinstatement and strengthening of the ban on military-style assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, requiring universal background checks, and addressing gun trafficking."
U.S. Rep. Elizabeth Esty
"President Obama acted on the promise he made 30 days ago at Newtown High School to make our kids safer. His orders will plug holes in the background check system and help local school districts have police security. The common-sense changes to the background check program will stop guns from getting into the hands of criminals and the mentally disturbed, while preserving Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens.
U.S. Rep. Joe Courtney
"President Obama's proposal to mandate background checks for all firearms sales, to ban assault weapons and prohibit high capacity magazines is a positive step to reduce violence. We can't, however, rely on Congress to act. In Connecticut, our children's safety is not a partisan issue and I am pleased to join with Democrats and Republicans in the General Assembly in crafting a plan to reduce violence, improve school security and address access to mental health services."
State Sen. Pro Tem Donald E. Williams Jr.
"Over the last several years we've seen mass shootings in Arizona, Wisconsin, Colorado and now Newtown; in addition to the gun violence that plagues our cities. It is imperative that we act now. Forty percent of gun sales nationwide are conducted without background checks and that must to change. The secondary market has led to far too many guns on the streets. The president's and vice president's plan is ambitious and I look to working on the state level to take strong and decisive action to reduce gun violence, increase access to mental health services, and improve school security."
State Senate Majority Leader Martin Looney
"The bottom line is there are practical, reasonable gun restrictions that would create an environment where incidents like Newtown are less likely to occur. The majority of Americans agree on that. Unfortunately, it took Newtown to get us here, but now that we are here, Congress needs to act swiftly and avoid the partisan bickering we've become accustomed to. While nothing can erase the pain of those who suffered unspeakable loss, doing nothing is not an option and certainly not worthy of the innocent lives that were lost."

The Analog Compact Disc
Back in the days when vinyl was our only source of high-quality recorded music, the first question when playing a new record was often, "How good is the pressing?" LPs varied so much in their mastering and pressing qualities that buying a new one was often a crapshoot.
With the advent of the digital compact disc, however, few of us bother to think about variations in CD quality. We assume that if the CD spins and makes sound, the disc must have been manufactured perfectly.
In reality, compact discs vary greatly in manufacturing quality. The process of creating the tiny pit and land structures that represent the music, then transferring those structures to an inexpensive mass-produced product, is fraught with potential problems. The result is a wide variation in the technical—and sometimes musical—performance of our CDs.
In this article, we'll look at how the CD works, how CDs are made, and what can go wrong in the disc-manufacturing process. In addition, I'll report on the disc quality of a sampling of CDs made at different pressing plants around the world.
This technical evaluation of CD quality was made possible by a unique CD analyzer obtained by Stereophile (see Sidebar) that reveals CD data-error types and rates, and allows an examination of the critical signals coming off a CD. Finally, I'll show you how to identify the factory where a disc was made, and debunk some common myths about data errors on CDs (footnote 1).
How the Compact Disc works
A compact disc is a piece of polycarbonate (a type of plastic) on which a spiral track has been impressed. This spiral track is a series of indentations ("pits") separated by flat areas ("land"). This alternating pit-and-land structure can be seen in fig.1, a scanning electron microscope photograph of a CD surface. The white line at the top of the photograph provides the scale; the line is 10µm (ten micrometers, or microns) long. To put the extraordinarily small size of the pits into perspective, a human hair is about 75µm in diameter. By the scale of this photograph, a human hair would be a foot and a half thick (footnote 2).
Fig.1 Scanning electron microscope photograph of a CD surface. The white line at the top is 10µm in length. A human hair has a diameter of about 75µm. (Photo by Alvin Jennings.)
Digital audio data are encoded in the spiral track of pit and land, waiting to be recovered by your CD transport. The transport's laser beam is focused on the spinning disc, which is coated with a thin, reflective metal layer, almost always aluminum (gold and brass are also occasionally used). The disc's metal coating reflects the beam back to a photodetector, a device that converts light into an electrical signal.
When the laser beam is reflected from the land, the beam is returned to the photodetector at virtually full strength. The laser beam is significantly reduced in intensity when it reflects from a pit bottom because the pit depth is one-quarter the wavelength of the playback laser beam. The portion of the beam reflected from the pit bottom is therefore shifted in phase by 180 degrees (one-quarter wavelength going down, then another one-quarter wavelength going back up) in relation to the beam portion reflected from the land. A 180 degrees phase shift is half a wavelength—equivalent to a polarity reversal. When the two out-of-phase parts of the beam combine to strike the photodetector, they cancel. It's like wiring your loudspeakers out of phase and hearing less bass: when one woofer moves forward, the other moves backward, and the waves cancel each other.
Rather than represent one condition by binary "zero" and the other by binary "one," it was felt better to represent a reflection from both land and pit bottom as a binary "zero," with binary "one" corresponding to the change in beam intensity when the beam is reflected from a pit-to-land or land-to-pit transition. In short, land or a pit bottom are binary 0, transitions are binary 1.
The photodetector therefore outputs a varying voltage in response to the pit pattern—a voltage that contains all the binary 1s and 0s encoded on the disc.
An encoding scheme called "Eight to Fourteen Modulation" (EFM) formats the data to be recorded on the disc according to certain rules. EFM coding creates a bit stream in which binary 1s are separated by a minimum of two 0s and a maximum of ten 0s. The shortest pit or land length therefore represents the binary data "1001," and the longest pit or land length represents the binary data "100000000001." EFM coding creates a specific pattern of ones and zeros that results in nine discrete pit or land lengths on the disc. You can see the discrete nature of the pit and land lengths in the photograph shown in fig.1.
Footnote 1: Before joining Stereophile in the Spring of 1989, I worked in CD-mastering for three and a half years, and helped to build a CD mastering machine. I also co-wrote a paper (with Ray Keating) called "Compact Disc Video (CDV) Signal Optimization," presented at the 1987 New York AES Convention. The paper examined the tradeoffs in signal quality when digital audio was combined with video.
Footnote 2: The pits are 0.56µm wide, with a track spacing of 1.6µm, and vary in length from 0.8µm to 3.5µm.

By Mr. Douglas Demaio (Army Medicine)May 24, 2012
A ceremonial passing of the colors here Wednesday put a new commander at the helm of the Schweinfurt Health Clinic as it moves through a period of transition.
Lt. Col. Chadwick A. Bowers assumed command from Col. Emery Fehl at a ceremony at Conn Barracks, which was presided over by Col. Robert Goodman, Bavaria Medical Department Activity commander.
"Today's ceremony marks the beginning of a very busy two-plus years for the members of Army Medicine here in Schweinfurt," Bowers said. "Change is here. We are embarking on an ambitious and aggressive plan to meet our mandates for the Army's transition in Europe while continuing to provide world-class health care to our beneficiaries. I have every confidence that our team will accomplish the mission."
The clinic will also be transitioning to a team approach to providing medical care to beneficiaries call Patient Centered Medical Home and Soldier Centered Medical Home. The clinic is expected to transition to the new model of care within the next year.
Bowers' previous assignment was the U.S. Army Medical Command liaison to the Army Materiel Command's Responsible Reset Task Force in support of Operations New Dawn and Enduring Freedom. Prior to his deployment, he was the logistics division, chief at the Tripler Army Medical Center and deputy logistics officer for Pacific Regional Medical Command in Hawaii.
Bowers wife, Lt. Col. Laura Elaine Bowers, is the Inspector General for Pacific Regional Medical Command and will remain in Hawaii with their children while he serves as the clinic commander.
"My Family is representative of the many Families who have assumed increased daily responsibilities and provided untiring support, prayers and sacrifices so we may successfully serve," Bowers said.
Bowers' awards and decorations include the Joint Meritorious Unit Award; Meritorious Service Medal with Silver Oak Leaf Cluster and two Bronze Oak Leaf Clusters; Joint Service Commendation Medal; Army Commendation Medal with two Oak Leaf Clusters; Army Achievement Medal with two Oak Leaf Clusters; two National Defense Service Medals; Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal; Global War on Terror Service Medal; Korean Defense Service Medal; Army Service Ribbon; four Overseas Ribbons; Parachutist Badge; Air Assault Badge; and Expert Field Medical Badge. Bowers is a recipient of the U.S. Army Medical Department's Order of Military Medical Merit.
Fehl, a graduate of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, is scheduled to be a commander for a Military Treatment Facility in Fort Leavenworth, Kan.

Intrinsic overhauls IT infrastructure for £42m campus
Unified communications and cloud computing specialist Intrinsic Technology has completely overhauled the IT infrastructure of Furness College (pictured) for a new £42m campus.
Intrinsic worked with Microsoft, Cisco and Citrix on the project, which saw Intrinsic update the college's networks, implement a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) and unify its communications.
All systems are supported by Fusion, Intrinsic's managed service offering. It monitors and maintains the infrastructure, and has consequentially allowed the college to extend its hours of IT support into the evening, says the firm.
Says Dave Griffiths, head of corporate sales at Intrinsic Technology: "The solution we've implemented is centred on flexibility. Furness College offers such a wide range of education and training that the IT infrastructure needed to cater for this – with an easily accessible, shared network. The state-of-the-art new building deserved an equally advanced solution – and our initiatives will help them continue to offer excellence in teaching and learning."

Ranbir Kapoor denies teaming up with Imtiaz Ali for 2 States
Speaking to a leading daily, Ranbir Kapoor said that Sajid Nadiadwala has offered him 2 States but he has not finalised the deal yet. The actor is yet to read the script and he is not teaming up with Imtiaz Ali. The 29-year-old doubts whether the filmmaker is even aware of the book.
2 States was earlier offered to Shahrukh Khan and it was reported that Vishal Bharadwaj would direct the film. However, they left the film for the reasons best known to them. Talking about it, Ranbir Kapoor decides to play safe by claiming that he is not concerned about why they opted out of the movie and when the project fell in his laps, nobody was involved.
However, the film 2 States revolves around the story of a north Indian guy, who is in love with a south Indian girl.

FSA urged to ban products to de-risk building society advice
Building societies should be allowed to continue to sell retail investment products from next year in order to bridge an expected 'advice gap', though the risks associated with such activities should be reduced by the banning of certain products, according to the Building Societies Association.
In a white paper produced of the bank of the Independent Commission on Banking proposals the government seeks views on the "desirability of permitting ring-fenced banks to sell retail investment products".
In its consultation on the future of building societies, published in June, the government stated its intention to apply most of the proposals from the ICB, including the effective 'ring-fence', to the building societies sector through changes to the Building Societies Act.
In its response to the consultation, the BSA argues that building societies must be allowed to continue to sell retail investment products as the RDR is "widely expected" to reduce the availability of advice for consumers.
Building societies, the association continues, with their extensive branch networks are "well-placed" to continue to advise upon and sell such products, or to introduce customers to third party providers of such advice.
The BSA admits that selling retail investment products can pose prudential risk to societies. However, this risk can generally be easily managed and could be mitigated further by banning the sale of certain products deemed to be "toxic", such as the traded life assurance policy funds, it adds.
The BSA states that the FSA already has some powers in this regard and these are to be enhanced with the inception of the Financial Conduct Authority in 2013.
The BSA's response said: "We consider that it would be disproportionate, as well as damaging to consumers and to building societies, if societies were to be precluded from offering retail investment products per se."
It also argued that as retail investment products, such as collective investment products and life-assurance based investments, are typically components of longer-term savings portfolios, the sale of these is a "good fit" with building societies' core savings and lending business.
Furthermore the trade body emphasised that income from the sale of these products has been a "key contributor" to building society profitability for several decades and is likely to remain so in the future, "notwithstanding the likely impact of the implementation of the Retail Distribution Review in January 2013".

New NASA Data Blow Gaping Hole In Global Warming Alarmism
By James Taylor | Forbes Wed, Jul 27, 2011
NASA satellite data from the years 2000 through 2011 show the Earth's atmosphere is allowing far more heat to be released into space than alarmist computer models have predicted, reports a new study in the peer-reviewed science journal Remote Sensing. The study indicates far less future global warming will occur than United Nations computer models have predicted, and supports prior studies indicating increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide trap far less heat than alarmists have claimed.
Study co-author Dr. Roy Spencer, a principal research scientist at the University of Alabama in Huntsville and U.S. Science Team Leader for the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer flying on NASA's Aqua satellite, reports that real-world data from NASA's Terra satellite contradict multiple assumptions fed into alarmist computer models.
"The satellite observations suggest there is much more energy lost to space during and after warming than the climate models show," Spencer said in a July 26 University of Alabama press release. "There is a huge discrepancy between the data and the forecasts that is especially big over the oceans."
In addition to finding that far less heat is being trapped than alarmist computer models have predicted, the NASA satellite data show the atmosphere begins shedding heat into space long before United Nations computer models predicted.

Ah, so I guess you never clicked on any of the many links that substantiate the findings, huh?
But if you want to associate money with findings, can you tell me who funds NASA? Are they not funded by the same politicians getting rich off this global warming nonsense? While you're at it, can you tell me who funds these so-called America global warming scientists and their studies? I'm sure it's a non-profit organization of some kind. LOL!

Good Lord, you libtrads really are a pathetic pile of dung; the numbers simply do not add up to what YOU said they would.

The world would truly be a better place if all libtards would spontaneously combust; at the very least they should all be prevented from reproducing so they cannot continue to infect the world with their disease. The cycle of ilk must stop before we go by the wayside like the Greeks, Carthiginians, and Romans - all destroyed by libtards. But that is ok; it makes us all warm and fuzzy inside.

depends if you are talking Sociologly or Ideaology.
Modern liberalism is not completely collectivist; nor is it completely individualistic. It has elements of both doctrines. The same is true of Modern conservatism. Neither view provides a coherent approach to politics, built up from first principles. Instead, they both reflect a process that is akin to picking items from a dinner menu. What is chosen is a matter of taste rather than a matter of thought. Just as people with similar tastes in food tend to frequent the same restaurants, people with the same tastes in politics tend to vote for the same candidates.

His response about second-hand smoke is interesting though.
As a truck driver, I'm required to take random drug screenings. One time in that process, I questioned the nurse about second-hand marijuana? She told me that even if I was in a room filled with marijuana, there would be no trace in my urine or blood. Smoke is not that toxic or powerful enough to be detected by a drug screen.
Okay, if pot can't be detected in urine, how is second-hand smoke killing people? I mean, I have never been to a funeral where the cause of death was second-hand smoke. And even if death were possible by second-hand smoke, that would mean that tobacco is so toxic that the user would die in a matter of seconds after the first puff.
Of course, liberals don't want to consider that. Instead, they find ridiculous biased articles to support their point without question. The liberal article says this or that, so it must be true. Forget common sense. It doesn't apply in the liberal world.

Actually, the Roman empire fell shortly after they converted to Christianity. Wonder how many conservatives are Christians? 90%? Maybe 95%? Rome thrived under the Liberals and died under the Bible thumpers.
As far as climate change, I never personally came up with any numbers. I'll stick with the fact that all the rose bushes on my block went into bloom in late Novemeber this year. Seem normal? Also, let's compare every cent ever made by the tree huggers next to what the oil companies make in a day. What's sad is the oil billionaires that told you to not believe in climate change have openly embraced the obvious signs that our climate is changing. They even went as far as declaring it is most certainly man made. You are just an outdated mouth of greed's propaganda. You tea baggers can't spin fast enough to keep up with us thinky folks.

DAR ES SALAAM, Tanzania - As first lady Michelle Obama told a group of her African counterparts Tuesday why her role is one of the "best jobs in the world," she started to explain how she can operate beyond the minute-by-minute crises and pressures faced by her husband.
"They come into office with a wonderful, profound agenda, and then they are faced with…," she said, before a knowing voice jumped in.
"Reality," said former first lady Laura Bush, finishing the sentence with the authority only a few in the world can muster.
That rare confluence of perspective emerged from the George W. Bush Institute's African First Ladies Summit, as the current and former American first ladies joined to motivate the continent's leading women and to discuss the importance of investing in women across the globe.
But Tuesday also marked the third time in just over a year that the Bushes and the Obamas have stood together on a global stage, as George W. Bush also joined Barack Obama to lay a wreath at the site of the 1998 bombing of the U.S. Embassy in Tanzania.
The first two occasions were dictated by tradition: the unveiling last year of the Bushes' official White House portraits and the dedication in April of the George W. Bush Presidential Center. This time - with Africa and women on the agenda - the union was entirely by choice.
As Michelle Obama explained why it was important for her to participate in the summit, she looked at over at Laura Bush and said it was in part because "I like this woman."
"There's a lot of give and take when you're campaigning," Obama said. "But when the dust settles, we are all in this together."
Though the Obamas' Africa trip and the Bushes' visit were planned independently, the presidential couples took advantage of the overlapping itineraries to make a bipartisan show in this bustling east African city.
Few expect the Bushes and Obamas to develop the close relationship the Clintons share with the Bush family.
Barack Obama continues to blame his predecessor for a sluggish economy. And George W. Bush's brother Jeb appears to be gearing up for his own White House run, which could mean incessant stump speeches attacking Obama's record.
But the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief - the multi-billion-dollar investment started by Bush and continued by Obama - is an enduring, cross-party bond. And the joint appearances Tuesday could signal a burgeoning partnership on select issues, especially in Africa.
"You don't have to be a Republican or a Democrat to care about women," George W. Bush said in an interview with The Dallas Morning News.
As Obama has toured Africa over the last several days, he's praised his predecessor many times for the vision to take on AIDS on the continent. Noting that the program has saved millions of lives, Obama called it one of Bush's "crowing achievements."
Earlier in the trip, Obama suggested that he's had a bit more difficult time getting a GOP-controlled House to support such expansive foreign aid. But he later clarified that the PEPFAR is actually serving more people at a lower cost, which allows a new focus on other diseases.
"We've continued that work, and we are going to continue that work," the president said Monday.
The Bushes backed up Obama in that regard, with the former president saying "Washington is still focused on the important subject."
Laura Bush said that eventually the number of AIDS cases will decrease to a point where there's less of a need for PEPFAR. And while that time hasn't yet arrived, the Bushes said, there's now the opportunity to use that platform to address cervical cancer and other diseases.
"It's a little too premature to for the the government to withdraw from PEPFAR," George W. Bush said. "But the objective is obviously for these health systems to mature."
Those kind of discussions are at the heart of the African First Ladies Summit, sponsored by Irving-based Exxon Mobil. Nearly 10 of the continent's first ladies arrived at the two-day summit to focus broadly on empowering women.
The Bush Institute, part of the George W. Bush Presidential Center, also used the conference to announce its plans to host similar summits each year in different parts of the world.
"In country after country, women stand at the forefront of life-changing progress," Laura Bush said. "You are advocates and agents for change, and none of you needs to do it alone."
To promote that sense of community, Bush and Michelle Obama sat down to share their experiences working hand-in-hand with the most powerful men in the world.
The first ladies described their many passions - education for Bush, a fight against childhood obesity for Obama and global health for both. They answered a few questions from the African first ladies sitting the front row. They lightened the mood by dishing on their husbands.
Obama explained how it was important to realize the power of women's voices, especially since they bring a different perspective to things.
"I love my husband, but sometimes when he has five things to do at one time, it's funny to watch," she said to laughter. "'You don't know where your jacket is right now. I found that shoe, Mr. President.'"
Laura Bush, in turn, recalled when her husband was first running for Congress. As George W. Bush pulled into the driveway after a campaign event, he asked his wife for the truth about his latest speech.
"I told him, 'It wasn't really very good,' and he drove into the garage wall," she said, as the crowd roared.
But more than anything, the first ladies encouraged their African counterparts to carve out roles in areas they care about. They reflected on their own efforts to avoid being put in a box, as many people fixate on their shoes or whether they have bangs.
"We take our bangs and we stand in front of important things the world needs to see," Obama said. "And eventually people stop looking at the bangs and they start looking at what we're standing in front of."

One of the greatest things that the Leaf and Bean does is send cigars to our troops. These men and women put their lives on the line for our freedom and can't just walk down the street to pick up their favorite smokes. So, next time you are in the store, drop some money in our "Troop Cigar Spittoon." You might even want to write a note to them. As you will see below, it means a lot.
A must read letter from a Hero!
On behalf of the Victory Cigar Club we want to say thank you for the merchandise and the cigars. We were able to raise some additional funds with the raffle we had with your merchandise and everyone really enjoyed the Hoyo de Monterreys and some of the Flor de Olivas. Your generosity is appreciated and these events are great for morale and just forgetting about the stress of a work week.
We will work on getting you and your partner shirts as soon as we put in another order. We will also send you our very cool poker chips. All I can say is The Leaf & Bean Company rocks. Thank you again.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Maj. John Schoene
President, Victory Cigar Club
How can I say enough about this? I can say, THANK YOU, to our troops and their families for all that they do. We, at the Leaf and Bean, want you to know that we appreciate you. No matter what your polictical beliefs, you should honor the sacarifice they make for us. One way in which we do this is through our care packages! They include cigars and coffee, along with anything else we can find to throw in the box; magazines, pop tarts, candy, candles, playing cards, cd's, hats, and t-shirts to name a few. You can help us be a part of this.
thanks guys, enjoy the cigars

Chris White (Saxophonist)
Saxophonist Chris White should really have been an Olympic swimmer. 'That's what I wanted to be,' he says with a wryly regretful smile. What went wrong?
'I don't think I could swim fast enough.' At thirteen, he discovered the saxophone, having seen someone playing the instrument on TV and suddenly the pool had lost its allure.
White took up the saxophone at the age of 13, whilst a pupil at Lawrence Weston Secondary School. He started gigging a couple of years later, and was soon playing in the National Youth Jazz Orchestra and touring with other musicians (such as France Gall).
He joined Dire Straits in 1985 for their two final world tours, and played at both the Live Aid concert and Nelson Mandela's 70th Birthday Concert in 1988.
Michael Weston (Guitarist)
(The Lilac Time with Stephen Duffy)
Probably the finest young pedal steel guitar player in Britain, his credits include Jimmy Nail, Leo Sayer and Deana Carter while his most recent tour was with Robbie Williams. He also formed the band The Lilac Time with Stephen Duffy and Nick Duffy.

Taylor's spell with Tears for Fears continued into the early 1990s, and he was again featured on their 1989 album The Seeds of Love. After the group disbanded in 1991 he went on to play with several artists before becoming a permanent member of the Robbie Williams band in 2003 and replacing Fil Eisler.
Ever since then he has performed live on tour with Robbie playing concerts for up to 100,000 people a night!
One of his memorable achievements was playing to a staggering 375,000 people, over three days In Knebworth Park, August 2003.

Chris Sharrock (Drummer)
Birkenhead butcher's boy Chris Sharrock was eight when he sat behind his first proper drum kit. He hasn't stopped since, working with Dave Stewart, Lou Reed and Del Amitri amongst many others. He met Guy on World Party and has been with Robbie since the beginning. a position he held for the next 8 years.
Backstage, you'll more likely than not find him rolling his own cigarettes or hanging out in Robbie's room, where he's become something of a champion Uno player. Modest about his mystical side, he enjoys a few minutes of quiet meditation under the stage before each gig.
'All the best drummers in the world are dead,' he muses. 'And I include myself in that.' 'He's my little mate,' says Robbie, 'even though he's ten years older than me. I've asked a few drummers who they think the best drummer in the world is - and it's Chris. He's Keith Moon incarnate.'
Sharrock joined Oasis in 2008 after previous drummer Zak Starkey left the group. Chris did not play on the band's 2008 album, Dig Out Your Soul, but played on the subsequent tour. Noel Gallagher said in an interview for MOJO, regarding the appointment of Oasis' new drummer, "Liam is still not happy about Chris Sharrock, because he's Robbie Williams' drummer. I went home and thought about it and it was just too much of a temptation to piss Robbie Williams and Liam off in one phone call." Sharrock made his live debut with Oasis on 14 August 2008, in front of 150 Oasis fan club members.
Gary Nuttal (Guitarist)
Gary Nuttall is a Liverpool born guitarist and vocalist who in March 1997 joined Robbie Williams after playing in numerous bands up and down the country for the likes of The Duke of Edinburgh, The Prince of Wales & many other pubs!
Since then Gary has played & sang on all but two of Robbie's albums, contributing to some of his best known tracks including 'Angels' (acoustic guitar & background vocals), 'No Regrets' (guitar) and 'Feel' (guitar & background vocals).
Gary has also been a mainstay of Robbie's live band from his first solo tour in October 1997 to his latest 'Close Encounters' world tour in 2006
As well as playing with Rob, Gary has been involved in various projects, highlights of which include one-off gigs with the late, great John Entwistle & the legendary Ringo Starr.
Gary has also recently played in the band that inducted Beatles producer George Martin into the UK Hall of Fame. Other band members included Roger Taylor on drums & Jose Gonzalez on guitar.
Gary likes catching up on his sleep between gigs. 'I do admit,' he says, 'that laziness is a problem in the usual day to day running of my life! Bed is very important to me.' But you'll never catch him using Room Service. 'I'm extremely tight,' he confesses, 'and I refuse to pay a charge for bringing food up in a lift.'
He prefers a brisk walk to the local MacDonald's or Burger King, saving up his 'per diem' payments to take his wife out to nice restaurants in the Englefield Green area on his return home. Gary has his own small but dedicated group of fans, who admire his kindness and the fact that he bothers to stop and talk to them. They like to stand just below him with four bits of white cardboard saying G, A, R and Y.
One day, he laughs, there may be enough to spell N, U, T, T, A, L, L. Not that he can see them anyway; he takes his glasses off for the gig and admits, 'the front row is a bit of a blur'. 'The quiet man of the bunch,' says Robbie. 'He's a huge dark horse in the band. He goes away for days on end and doesn't come out of his room. He's a creature of habit and a creature of comfort. A comedic and musical genius.'
Karl Brazil (Robbie's New Drummer)
Karl Brazil grew up in Solihull, West Midlands and was taught by Ian Palmer's Uncle, Steve Palmer. He has fast become one of the busiest drummers in the UK and is known for his feel and ambidextrous style. This is because Karl plays a right handed set up but is actually left handed and left footed.
Over the last few years, Karl has played and worked with many different artists and bands emphasizing his versatility. Over the last five years he has performed with James Blunt, Feeder, Natalie Imbruglia, James Morrison, Jason Mraz and recently accepted an offer to work with Robbie Williams on his forthcoming album promotional tour.
Following The World's Greatest Drummer concert at Town Hall Birmingham, Karl acknowledged that this was one of the toughest musical undertakings he has been involved with, particularly performing alongside his peers in an environment which none of the drummers would normally reside.
Coming from a big musical family, Karl has a wide range of musical influences and was introduced to music from an early age. Apart from travelling the world bashing pots and pans, Karl loves nothing more than spending time with his family, a beer with his mates and a trip to St. Andrews to watch his beloved football team, Birmingham City play.
Jerry Meehan (Bass)
Director of Wendyhouse Productions, writer, producer and bass player; the last 3 years Jerry has mainly been working with Robbie Williams as writer/producer and playing bass in his band. He studied bassoon composition and conducting at Chathams School of Music in Manchester and went on to win a scholarship at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. Jerry was principle bassoon in the National Youth Orchestra and a finalist in the BBCs Young Musician of the Year competition in 1984.
Since leaving the Guildhall he has worked extensively within the music industry, with artists including Stevie Wonder, Beth Orthon, Talvin Singh, Omar, Midge Ure, Boyzone, Bryan Ferry, Roger Daltrey and Will Young. In the classical field he has worked with names such as Leonard Bernstein, Pierre Boulez and Jesse Norman. Jerry has written the music for many commercial musical projects including Starsky and Hutch, The Visitors and "The Emperors Wife", which won Best Film Score Prize at the Rome film festival. He has also worked on TV commercials including campaigns for Ford, Harvest Crunch, Doritos, Müller, Pizza Hut, and Sanderson.
Dave 'BISH' Bishop (Musician)
Dave 'BISH' Bishop started playing the clarinet aged eight. 'And I found it quite easy. I wanted to be an engineer like my dad.
But he said, "Don't do that, whatever you find easy and enjoy, that's the way to go." So Bish stuck with music, moving to the sax at ten. 'When you fall into playing the sax it's relatively easy after what you've gone through with the clarinet.'
He loves the look of the thing, the noise it makes. 'It's the most diverse voice of all. You can really tell sax players apart from the noise they make.' His sound? 'A clean, edgy noise.' He started playing professionally with Thin Lizzie in the late Seventies.
The usual word of mouth led him to work with Ella Fitzgerald, Nelson Riddle, Quincy Jones, the list goes on. 'To get where we are,' he admits, 'playing has to be all enveloping. It's not just a job. It's your hobby and your interest as well.'
Bish is known as the chief jester of the pack. 'I'm quite fun-loving, I suppose,' he admits. 'I enjoy making people laugh. For what reason I don't know.'
Fil Eisler (Bass player and Vocalist)
Fil Eisler (Bass player and Vocalist)
Fil Eisler was a key member of Robbie Williams band, as Robbie's bass player and vocalist. He also co-wrote and co-produced tracks with Robbie, including the tracks 'Stalkers Day Off' and 'Talk To Me' while touring and recording with the band over a four year period.
Famous for wearing Kilts on stage and being the outspoken one of the group he was featured in the documentary Nobody Someday where he spoke about Robbie's attack on stage.
Fil Eisler is in L.A with his band, but still performs on Robbie Albums the last one being RudeBox.
He has been with his own band called Izlar since 2004 and released his 3rd album last year.
But their official mysapce is still empty.
His brother in law has shares in Inverness Caledonian Thistle Football Club (Scotland) and he use to go there pretty often to watch the games.
As an artist, Fil has worked with such producers as Mike Pelanconi and Ed Raso (Notorious B.I.G., Black Rob).

Dear Editor,
Gee, I never saw anything on the news about those big, bad American car companies forcing people to buy 8-mile-per-gallon SUVs. I guess I misses that or maybe it was because people voluntarily brought them. After reading several articles over the weekend about how everyone from Barack Obama to the cleaning lady is mad at domestic auto makers, I thought some reflection might be appropriate.
First, Americans need to take responsibility for their own decisions: No one made you buy an SUV. You bought it, for whatever reason, of your own free will. Now, with gas prices heading into never-never land, all of a sudden the U.S. auto industry is to blame? And what is everyone's response? "Let's abandon those evil domestic gas guzzlers and jeopardize 13 million American jobs by paying full list for a foreign car." Gosh, that will really help our ailing economy. Nothing like another 13 million unemployed Americans.
Ford, GM and Chrysler have been building economical cars all along. Nobody bought them. Now GM is gearing up to build the economical Cobalt/G5 cars 24 hours a day to meet demand. Ford has increased production of the world-class Focus by 30 percent to meet demand. In truth, GM has build more 30-plus mpg cars for years than Honda and Toyota. The Ford Focus gets better mpg than most imports.
Let him (or her) who is without an SUV cast the first stone, and if there is a shred of patriotism left in you, use it to support our own industry, not Japan's.

Just be sure that you know exactly what you are getting into. True having a baby is a beautiful experience but just consider this
1. You may put on upto 30lbs during pregnancy and this weight is not easy to get rid of
2. having a baby means getting up at night for feeding, nappy changes after u've spent the day working.
3. Labour is extremely painful...tho it seems worth it once the baby is in your arms
4. Looking after a small baby leaves little or no time for anything else like socialising.
5. Most women tend to have wild mood swings during and after a few months after pregnancy ... be sure your OH has the patience to put up with it.
6. Pregnancy has its share of troubles... morning sickness, wind, swelling in the legs, cramps, etc ... tho some lucky women have none of these
7 A baby is also a big responsibility and puts a strain both on your finances and your relationship.
But it is also true that having a baby is a wonderful experience when you are truly ready for it....I can vouch for that
Hope my comments dont offend you. Just wanted to tell you what nobody told me before I fell pregnant...glad I had a baby... just wanted to make sure u'd be glad too

Wikipedia Illustrated Targets Online Encyclopaedia's Graphical Blind Spot [Pics]
A new blog challenges the visual sterility of Wikipedia and the nature of online visual art collaboration
Wikipedia Illustrated is a blog which invites collaborators to illustrate 26 Wikipedia Articles, with the eventual alphabetical outcome published in a Creative Commons licensed book. The project poses many interesting questions, including whether visual work is inherently less collaborative than text and querying why the visual aspect of Wikipedia has been so bland to date.
Wikipedia Illustrated will launch with a series of workshops at the Transmediale 2011 media art festival. The workshops aim to develop a methodology for contributing creative-commons licensed illustrations to Wikipedia.

My recipe was inspired by a fellow blogger - and I can't remember who it was...I'm sorry! I'll keep searching to find the blogger. If you know who you are, let me know!! named Birdeye Chili from Canada.
Kimchi is korean vegetable condiments, seasoned with garlic, ginger and chilis. While there are over 200 types of Kimchi, the most popular kind is made with cabbage. Learn more here. Do you want to make it?
Ingredients:Pork burgers
1 lb ground pork (or turkey)
1 large garlic clove, smushed in garlic press
1/2 teaspoon grated ginger (use microplane grater)
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon fish sauce
1/2 teaspoon brown sugar
1 egg, beaten
salt & pepperToppings/Condiments
1 bunch scallions, washed & roots trimmed (keep scallions whole)
1/2 cup Kimchi
4 slices tomato
Japanese mayonnaise4 hamburger buns
1 . Preheat your gas or charcoal grill : On medium-high
2. Make your patties: Combine all ingredients for the burger. Form 4 equal sized burgers. Don't make them too thick or they will be difficult to cook thoroughly. With your fingers, form a nice little dent in the middle. The burger will puff up in the middle during cooking and the dent will allow your burger will puff up evenly.
3. Cook burgers: Brush grates of grill with a little oil. Cook burgers on medium-high direct heat for 4 minutes with lid closed. Open lid, throw your whole scallions on the grill. Flip burgers and cook another 4 minutes with lid open, or until internal meat is 160F. Serve with grilled scallions, a side of kimchi and any other toppings that you'd like. I like piling the kimchi on the burger.


text: Delivering on the Promise of Nonprofits Author(s): Jeffrey L. Bradach, Thomas J. Tierney, Nan Stone Published Date: November 25, 2008 To read online or download a copy of this article, please visit "Delivering on the Promise of Nonprofits" on the Harvard Business Review site (subscription or purchase required). Summary As U.S. nonprofits take on an increasing share of society's work, they face mounting pressure from stakeholders - donors, boards, employees - to show results. To make the greatest possible impact, they need to explicitly state the outcomes they're aiming for and how they plan to accomplish those goals. The authors, of the Bridgespan Group, say organizations should start by rigorously addressing a few interdependent questions: Which results will we hold ourselves accountable for? How will we achieve them? What will the results really cost, and how can we fund them? How do we build the organization we need to deliver those results? Together, those questions provide a framework for developing pragmatic, specific plans of action. Rheedlen Centers for Children and Families stepped up its performance by using such a framework. Ten years ago, the agency offered a host of programs - including an initiative called the Harlem Children's Zone - designed to improve the lives of poor children in devastated U.S. communities. Despite Rheedlen's efforts, supported by a $7 million budget, the prospects for Harlem's children appeared to be getting worse. So the organization changed its name simply to the Harlem Children's Zone, and linked its mission to a concrete statement of intended impact: namely, that 3,000 children, ages 0 to 18, living in the zone should have demographic and achievement profiles consistent with those found in an average U.S. middle-class community. HCZ's leaders discontinued or transitioned out of activities that were not in line with that outcome and took on new ones that were. They also diversified HCZ's funding, shook up and expanded the management ranks, and invested money in evaluating results. Over the past five years, HCZ has added 10,500 children to the population it serves and almost $40 million dollars to its budget.

> Has anyone managed to get this [Microsoft natural 6000] mouse working

Is this mouse USB? If so, it should use the usbhid module and should
report events on /dev/input/mouseN as well as /dev/input/mice in either
the IMPS/2 or EXPS/2 protocol. If it's not USB, say something; the rest
of this message assumes it's USB.
> want to use this mouse in my workplace and I don't have root there. If
> root is required, what needs to be done?
Make sure usbhid has been modprobed and usb_ohci or usb_uhci (depending
on your USB1 chipset) has also been modprobed. Fix X's config file (
/etc/X11/xorg.conf ) such that there's a mouse device defined for
/dev/input/mouseN or /dev/input/mice and that it is using the
appropriate protocol. It is strange that this didn't work immediately;
when I plugged a USB mouse into my Gentoo system, it started working
immediately even though I hadn't changed X's config file yet.

Roger flies into quarters
20.01.2014 | Tennis, Starseite 1
Roger secured the last spot in the quarters of the Australian Open with a 6-3, 7-5, 6-4 victory over Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.
It took our champ under two hours to defeat the Frenchman, showing a flawless display with a variety of shots and great variety throughout, 43 winners, seven aces and 21 unforced errors. It is the 11th straight year our champ has reached the quarters in Melbourne and the 41st time in his career that he will play a quarter final at a major - Roger has level Jimmy Connors' record.
Next up is a quarter-final clash with Andy Murray on Wednesday, certainly a match to look forward to.
Federer you have a nack to give me a heartattack.. the match should have been over in 3 easy sets... anyways now take a good rest... you have more than 45 hours of rest time with you... rest your legs especially.. you have to run a lot against nadal..
The connection dropped in the last game! zzz And I can only get Roger's interview with German or Italian commentary! zzz
Still what matters Roger held out against a strong challenge to win. X

SHIVO8SPYDER,blisterdal needs a blisterbeat!!!!!!!!!!!!XDXDXDXDXD!!!!!!!!
Well now that Roger is finished with Jim, I am off to bed. Hopefully the adrenalin will settle down so I can get to bed. See you all on Friday.
Nadal, we are soooooo ready for you!!!
BOTING, are you alive ?
OH YEH!!!!!!!!!!! Crack Rafa, with your blistering game and he will help you out with his blistering hand.
At least he has defended his points from last year. From here on out the wins are a bonus.
Now half of my hunch has come true. Didn't I tell you?
Relish. Hope rest will come true too.
