Where can I seek help and support?
If you need to seek help for your mental health in a non-emergency you should speak to your GP in the first instance.

What is a mental health emergency?
A mental health crisis or emergency is when a person's mental or emotional state starts gets worse quickly. It can involve panic attacks, psychotic episodes (such as hallucinations or hearing voices), irrational, dangerous or suicidal behaviour or other behaviour which is out of control and could pose an immediate risk to the person or others. This could be the first time a person has experienced a crisis or could be the reoccurrence of an existing condition.
What should I do if there is an immediate risk?
If you have concerns for your mental state, or that of someone you know, where there is an immediate and serious danger to yourself or another person:
> Call 999 immediately for an ambulance or the police.
> Or you can also call 111 when you need medical advice fast but it's not a 999 emergency.

Thanks to brimisza from the MLive forums for pointing me to this article.
According to agent Bill Neff, the Pistons recently tried to deal Flip Murray for Neff client Jason Hart.
January 18, Sacramento Bee: Hart, who told The Bee in mid-November that Neff had requested a trade from Petrie, said Wednesday he backs his agent's actions and simply wants a chance to play for a team that wants him.
"That's just my guy trying to keep me afloat," Hart said of Neff.
As Neff disclosed during his radio exchange, the Detroit Pistons offered Ronald "Flip" Murray for Hart. But whereas Hart is in the final year of a contract that pays him $1.68 million, Murray is being paid $1.75 million this season and $1.89 million if he exercises his player option next year. The Kings, Neff said on the show, didn't do the deal because Murray's contract had a season remaining.
"(Flip's second year) was low money, not like $10 million," said Hart, who has played in only 12 games this season. "I'm in a tough spot, but what made me feel good is that somebody called (about) me. I just want an opportunity. If I can't get an opportunity, I respect that. I'm not crying for minutes. I'm actually just trying to get out of here, you know what I mean?"
I remember Hart a little from his 04-05 season with the Bobcats, but is this how far Flip Murray has fallen in the eyes of Pistons' management? Everyone in Detroit appreciates what Joe Dumars has done for this Pistons over the past five years, but this past offseason is quickly looking like a series of brutal mistakes considering both Flip Murray and Nazr Mohammed are rumored to be on the block. Here's hoping that Dumars can pull off a little trade magic and get a solid, complimentary player for this roster.

About Iridescence: Sequencer Sketches vol. 2
It's hard not to have a good time listening to Iridescence. Rudy Adrian's fresh insight into the Berlin School of electronic music combines his sensual memory of the natural world with suprising shapes of glowing analogue sound. Coaxing classic warm timbres from his synthesizer, Rudy Adrian transmits the most cosmic of ideas with instinctual accuracy. Syncopated synth patterns beneath confident lead melodies rise out of vast cerebral preludes and provides each piece with its own unique contour. Detuned drones, shifting pads and elated harmonies give Iridescence an introspective quality and vivid dimensionality while the album's rhythmical cadence and lilting melodies provide a bright and lively focus.
-Chuck Van Zyl / Star's End

Do you think your friend would like to know that DDS has this item? Just fill in the following information and we will let them know!
I ordered this leotard because I wanted to try the thin strapped leotard. I love it! It is so easy to dance in and the inside is a soft fabric that doesn't bother me when I'm dancing. This leotard has great quality fabric and the black leotard has a nice stretch and shine as well. I will defiantly be ordering this leotard from now on.
Was this review helpful to you? YES (
My daughter needed a nude colored camisole leotard to go under her costume. This was perfect. Great quality, great fit, great price! My daughter weighs 62llbs and is 52" tall. The size M, ( 8-10 ) fit her perfectly, with some room for growth. I highly recommend this product.
This leo in nude is great for wearing under costumes during performances. My daughter outgrew the medium and now I am back buying her the large. The square neckline is high enough for modest coverage, and the leotard is fully lined. The fabric is good quality, but doesn't have a lot of give, so it does pull (rather than stretch) as your child grows. Also the straps are not adjustable, but the construction is very simple and it's easy to sew yourself if you need to shorten them (Just tack the elastic straps in back - don't cut - that way you can lengthen them again when she grows).
The style and fabric are nice but this leotard runs large. I ordered the large child and it is much larger than the LC from capezio. It is more like an adult small. Order 1 size down.
My daughter likes this leotard very much. It doesn't have adjustable stripes and for her that's a plus because they don't keep coming off. The material is very nice and comfortable, it's not itchy at all.
My daughter dances four days a week and we've gotten sick of the leotards available at local retailers. She was looking for something different and pretty and this is perfect. Very nice quality and great price too!

The River Beatrice is a beautiful ship, fairly new. We had a suite which was wonderful because it came with FREE laundry service! The decor of the ship was elegant. I was not sure I would like the system of earphones and boxes for the tours but actually it was very nice. It allowed you to wander a little and still hear the guide. Very nice.
The lounge and dining room were both lovely, never a problem finding a table. We did eat dinner in the Captain's lounge one night. That was a nice, intimate dinner that you had to sign up for. There was a set menu for that. I never saw the spa or the exercise room! I loved the fact that right on our floor was a little coffee bar where you could always get coffee, cappucino etc.
People did dress a little nicer for the Welcome and Farewell dinners, mostly ladies in slacks with fancy tops and many men did wear jackets, but not all.
Breakfast and lunch were buffets (plenty of choices) and dinner usually had a choice or 3 entrees. The food was very good. So was the wine. We found the excursions to be good, very knowledgeable local guides. The cruise director, Christina, who has since left for another Uniworld ship, was excellent as were all of the employees.
I would definitely do another river cruise. My only caveat would be that it would be on a newer ship, such as River Beatrice. We boarded a sister ship one day in Port that was an older ship but refurbished. I did not care for it, it seemed much smaller with lower ceilings etc. I would recommend Uniworld but on the newer ships.

I use yahoo as my homepage, when the "Get IE7 now!" appeared in the toolbar, I clicked on it and installed it. Big Mistake so far...Here's the problem, after installing my IE menu bar (toolbar) containing "File, Edit, View, tools, help" vanished and I can't figure out how to retrieve it or get it back. I have checked and it is not hidden behind another toolbar.
Along with that, The IE blue bar at the top & small bars at the bottom contain no information of the URL (webpage) when pages are loaded.
In the Yahoo toolbar, under the pencil icon- there is no standard toolbar listed anymore. Also my tabs disappeared from yahoo and under the toolbar options there no longer is a check box to "Enable Tabbed Browsing." I have uninstalled the yahoo toolbar and reinstalled it with no changes.
I tried a system restore also but it did not help and I can't do it again to take it back further before installing IE7.
I have also gone into the Registry Editor by following directions to remove the ITbarlayout value from webrowser & shellbrowser sub-keys to restore the IE menu bar. That did not work either.
Can someone help me get back my IE menu (toolbar)? And possibly get back the tab function in yahoo.
I also went in to the add/remove programs to delete the IE7 but a popup comes up stating that if I delete, that other programs attached would not function properly or no longer work.
How do I solve these problems? Help Jerry
Answer 1
Hi Jerry,
I am not currently using IE7, but I did use it for a while. The menu bar (if I remember right) is permenantly hidden, but you can call it up on demand. Simply press the [ALT] key and it should appear. Failing that I'm not sure if you can get it to display permenantly.
As for removing, I have no idea how wasy that would be. I used it on a test system and just re-installed the OS.
Answer 2
Answer 3
The File > Edit > View... toolbar stays for me.
What I did was hit alt, then go to View > Toolbars and selected Menu. Now it is permanent.

When you open the Internet Explorer, on the bottom line at the extreme right hand corner you will see "Tools" button. Click on this button. From the dropped down menu click on the "Menu Bar". This will restore the disappearing Menu Bar.

Answer 18
I take it back. Not a profile issue. The backup account I set up is exhibiting the same behavior. It's intermittent for this new account and consistent with my original account. I tried renaming every registry key I could find, but it did not help.
Answer 19
OK. I uninstalled ie7 via add/remove programs in control panel. I HAD IE OPEN AT THE TIME to netscape download page. As ie7 was uninstalling, it asked for files (iexplore.exe and a couple others) I ran a search to find the files it was looking for and allowed it to make its changes. When the remove process was finished (DON'T RESTART YET), I was able to download files so I downloaded netscape - shut everything down and restarted. Then opened netscape when i restarted - went to microsoft updates and downloaded ie7 fresh - it worked fine!
Hope it helps! Joye

Answer 22
I am so frustrated! I finally found File/Edit/View etc - don't ask me how coz I don't know! If they disappear again I'll have to start all over again.
When I installed ie7 it....deleted my desktop pic (my son! GRRRR!!), deleted my screensaver, added a search bar which I CANNOT remove, deleted all my icons (which are back now as I said but I don't know how), deleted my OE link so now I only have the choice to 'read mail' & nothing else, changed the font of all pages I visit, changed my home page & reconfigured the entire look of my screen! All without a keystroke from me!
I want to get rid of it but I dare not as it says I will lose attached programs but I don't know & can't seem to find out what they are!
Seems I'm stuck with it & I HATE IT!
Answer 23
OK. The size of fonts on each web site is an easy fix. Just click "View" from any website and go to "text size" - this easily changes font size. For font types, etc you will have to go to tools.
You should be able to get rid of the "search bar" under control panel - add/remove (if it's google or yahoo). Or you can just hide it by right clicking on the toolbars at the top of IE7 and "deselecting" whichever toolbar it is.
Tackle one problem at a time and BREATH! :-) MOST computer problems are a major pain in the *** but they are fixable. :-)
Answer 24
Hey thanx! I can read this forum now without a magnifying glass! lol
As for your other tip, the search bar is 'Live Search' & I cannot delete it without choosing another default search browser first. In fact, I tried to do as you suggested & right click & the only thing that showed it could close was the little triangle at the very right side. Well, of course that closed the whole page didn't it!
Then I find another little perk of ie6 that I have lost...the history! Is it somewhere? I don't know!
I used to be able to click on history & see the pages I've visited...in order visited today....or visited most.... or visited on another day...IT'S ALL GONE! ARGH!
Every time I think it's not possible to get more annoying - it does!!!

Answer 28
We had it too on 2 of our 3 PCs -- We installed from Microsoft update even! ( i am adamantly NOT a Yahoo fan, but this is not Yahoo's fault!)
With us, it was blocked from getting into the REgistry in the first place because of "Search & Destroy" software notifying us that it was trying to change our registry, more below . . .
SEARCH (see top of this page!) for "itbar7layout", MS will say did you mean "]however they spell it]?"
THREE items will be returned (including this forum thread.)
This is its URL : (I hope I got it right, could not cut and paste)
Once you have done the fix described, (by deleting the registry value) you will LOVE Internet Explorer 7! IT ROCKS! Everything LOOKS better, RUNS faster, and blocks MORE popups!
No, I do not work for MS and normally I don't like their products at first release!
How did we keep this bad boy from corrupting our registry in the first place? We have "SpyBot - Search & Destroy" (google for it, do NOT fall for any product without the FULL name).
Search & Destroy is FREE, yes, FREE and it works! Some people (like Symantec/Norton) gripe about small errors, but it WORKS.
It can block attempts to change your browser homepage, lock down your HOSTS file (that's in your registry), protect your Registry from changes via a "blacklist", warn you of any attempts to change your registry and PROMPT you if you want them or not, and blocks popups IE 7 allows!
No matter WHAT Symantec says about it, "SEARCH & DESTROY" is a GREAT product - on three PC's in 3 different households it BEAT AdAware in finding spy/malware/tracking/popup programs! It even finds a few Trojans! We scan with it at LEAST once a week (it updates frequently) - did I mention it is FREE? You can also manage your startup programs (we found an unknown Trojan that way!) and more.
No I don't work for them either!
Do the fix, enjoy IE 7!!!!

Same as LeonLove.
I have the same problem and followed the instructions on the registry edit above but the problem still exists.
It's really frustrating having to double click on the Internet Explorer desktop icon 4 or 5 times before a window with the full menu bars opens and then having to close the previous four or five (pop up windows i.e. the type that adverts appear in).
Any other ideas most welcome.

I have recently had this issue with Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2 as well with Windows XP Home SP2. The menu bar and as well the links bar was grayed out or not showing. When trying to initialize use of IE 7.0 for first time as " administrator on both machines, I could not do so. Did a search on google "IE7 menu bar grayed out" and came up with this solution. IT did work and I would trust help explained out from this source. Here is the link. Ironically, it came up as first source in search return results. http://malektips.com/internet_explorer_7_0017.html
I hope this works out for all you folks having this issue. I checked extensively even with non adminstrators on same pc and server. It worked. I choose reg install as oppossed to fumbling with msnualy updatingand changing registry. All I can assume is users usingthe server and workstaitons had installed yahoo and google toolbar and as well turned off view to links. I would suggest making toolbars aa auch no tvisible then show links then do IE 7.0 update over IE 6.0. This worked on a third workstaiton. As always use the premise of being in a default situation when updating. Happy browsing to all !!! please email me if this helps, hdowns(donotspam)@berkshire.rr.com. I forgotto add alert me if I get a reply.

Answer 39
"Menu Bar" is checked on my dropped down menu. the only reason i can function is an old window open has the toolbar, but in a new window it rolls off top of page and disappears. i know it disappeared after i had hit a bunch of keystrokes in another window - evidently the wrong ones for what i wanted to do 'on the page' - because i looked up from the keyboard and the screen was jumping around as though reponding to commands. since then it takes up hte 'full screeen' - even obliterating the bottom taskbar that i like to always see.
there has to be a command sequence to fix this. HELP!
(btw it's a new laptop, never had ie6 on here, just ie7)
Answer 40
I uninstalled because of that very probem. IE 6 is just as good anyway, and I am more used to it.
Answer 41
I love information that gets to the point without a million words to read. I don't really know how I found this answer, I guess it was just luck. Then it might be because my wife used to to use this computer and her spirit is still here. She knew a whole lot about computers. Whenever I had a question all I had to do was ask her. I am very persistent and I try not to ever give up. She passed away on 12-08-06. I sure do miss her. When I went to work tonight I did something that erased the menu bar. By the time I got home I was really frustrated but I was determined to find out how to correct my mistake. First I looked in my computer book but I just couldn't find it. Then, all of a sudden I remembered that I could just type in a question on the computer and maybe I would get lucky. It only took me about 5 minutes. When I ended up on the Microsoft website I typed in a question and started scrolling through the answers. Your answer was perfect and short to the point. When I saw the answer I just reached over and pressed the ALT button and VOILA. It was like magic. I will probably will have a few questions in the future. This is a very helpful website. I hope I can help somebody else like you helped me, I am now addicted to computers. At one time I thought I would never own one. Now I have 2 and a pda phone with the Internet on it. I like to stay connected and am always looking for information. Thanks again.
Answer 42
I've been having the same disappearing menu Bar problem, & tried all of the above solutions to no avail - however I've just found elsewhere on the web another way of sorting it out, which has finally worked for me! The problem I had was that when you right click up by one of the tabs (so you get the Menu bar - Links - Status Bar etc menu up) and try and uncheck Menu Bar, it wouldn't let me (so the Menu Bar was checked but still didn't display, and there was no way to change this). However, if you check/uncheck any of the other toolbars, then try and bring the Menu Bar back, it seems to magically reappear (finally!).
Answer 43
How did you finally resolve the problem you had with IE 7? I'm having the same issue, no menu bar and I can't download. I also cannot remove IE 7 from Add & Remove Programs. This is very frustrating. I can't download any files.
Any help is very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Answer 44
I have tried every option and suggestion given on this site and countless others. Nothing worked. After being up all night working on the problem and almost resigning myself to throwing my PC off of the balcony, I decided to remove IE7 entirely. It worked like a charm and I immediately got IE6 back. Lesson learned...If something works, don't try to upgrade.
Answer 45
I had this problem, not intermittent as some have described. At least it appeared consistent every time that I looked. I have Vista and IE7 V7.0.6000.16609 (both came preinstalled).
The File-Edit-View-Favorites-Tools-Help tool bar was missing and it annoyed me for awhile.
I was about to follow the process in: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555130/en-us but the article didn't specify Vista and the Registry entry was ITBar7Layout, so I was somewhat apprehensive about it being a fix.
I tried Tools drop down that appears to the extream right of the Tabs with dropdowns for Home, print, page, etc
I couldn't get the check mark next to Menu Bar to un-check. I then tried "ToolBars" and unchecked "Status Bar" and "Google". Then the "Menu Bar" would uncheck, and I could make the ToolBar with File-Edit-etc, appear and disappear at will.
Answer 46
Press the ALT key and the menu bar appears. To KEEP it there, go to View, then Toolbars, check menu bar. If it will not check uncheck Google, Yahoo or other tool bars THEN check Toolbars. Finally be sure that Lock the Toolbars is also checked. This worked for me and my menu bar is now back and STAYING back.

Try unlocking your toolbar and moving stuff around on it. It worked for me.

Answer 52
There have been a lot of solutions suggested and I am glad that I didn't go through the efforts of un-installing, editing registry, etc. I had not installed anything so not sure what got it out of whack. Pressing ALT didn't work nor could I uncheck Menu bar under Tools. It always stayed checked. I tried the one solution of simply Unchecking display of other items under Toolbars which for me was Status Bar and Norton and then the Menu bar displayed. I was able to re-check the other items and all seems fine.
Answer 53
I'm glad I'm not the only one. After installing, I have no menu, no toolbars, no status bar, no address bar, and nowhere to right-click to restore them. The actual browser window works fine.
Oddly, the menus and toolbar do appear if I launch IE via a shortcut to a website. But launching IE from the Start menu, QuickLaunch or typing iexplore.exe from a command window gives me a big screen full-o-nothin'.
Answer 54
If you can see the Tools icon (far bottom right in my case), go to pull down list (arrow down).
Toolbars > Lock the toolbars.
View the Lock the Toolbars option does not have a tick next to it.
If it is ticked, click it make the tick disappear.
You should then notice the traditional menu appear, although only part of it. A separator (vertical dots) should be visible. Hold mouse over to drag out to the left to expand the view of the menu (similar to excel). Keep dragging it until it is in the desired position.
All ALT key shortcuts will now start working to avoid excessive mouse usage.
This is well hidden and I hope they fix on future versions.

I'm uninstalling this piece of junk. Everything's blacked out. If I can't reinstall an earlier non-Beta version, then I'm off to Mozilla Firefox. This is RIDICULOUS!

Answer 64
I use yahoo as my homepage, when the "Get IE7 now!" appeared in the toolbar, I clicked on it and installed it. Big Mistake so far...Here's the problem, after installing my IE menu bar (toolbar) containing "File, Edit, View, tools, help" vanished and I can't figure out how to retrieve it or get it back. I have checked and it is not hidden behind another toolbar.
Along with that, The IE blue bar at the top & small bars at the bottom contain no information of the URL (webpage) when pages are loaded.
In the Yahoo toolbar, under the pencil icon- there is no standard toolbar listed anymore. Also my tabs disappeared from yahoo and under the toolbar options there no longer is a check box to "Enable Tabbed Browsing." I have uninstalled the yahoo toolbar and reinstalled it with no changes.
Answer 65
Right and welldone. Since 2006 this thrwad is up, and no solution for this.

Answer 66
IE7 has some new features I found that work perfect.
From RUN type "gpedit.msc", this will light up your Group Policy window.
Scroll down to " User Configuration", Administration Templates, Internet Explorer, read the information on the right panel.
7th item up from the bottom list should be " Turn on menu bar by default", double click,click the check box for Enable.
Your menu bar will be permanent.
IE7 is pretty good once you fix it up a bit. One of the other items was the "runonce screen that pops when you open IE7, you can get rid of that one in this list also.
If you read all of the other options in the list you will find several other interesting items that will bring back the feel of IE6!
Answer 67
I have a similar problem to this. I had just installed IE8 only to find it is absolutely ***. I then did a system restore in Safe Mode (wouldnt do it in normal mode) to go back to IE7. Now, the title does not show in the taskbar or the blue thing on the top of the screen, the menu bar is gone (and no Alt does not bring it up), the favorities bar is gone as well as the links bar, nothing is shown in the status bar, I cannot magnify the screen using the magnifying glass in bottom right of window, I cannot right click on anything and for some strange reason double right clicking opens a new IE window, I cannot download anything and the yellow bar up the top will not show. Akso the tabbed browsing things don't show either... The only bars visable is the address bar and the Norton Phishing Protection bar.
Can Someone help me?... Please...

Installing Internet Explorer 8 BETA caused this same problem on my computer - Menu toolbar gone, can't use Ctrl+ function, can't download, can't access Internet Options, no right-click functions, etc. The solution, which will take some time, is to go to this Microsoft page: http://support.microsoft.com/oas/default.aspx?prid=12357, which is the Microsoft Help and Support page for Windows Internet Explorer 8 Beta 2, and call for support. This FREE support is valid ONLY until December 31, 2008. The Microsoft technician took control of my computer, uninstalled IE8 BETA and IE7 and had to do some file restoration before reinstalling IE7 to get me back to normal (pre-IE8 BETA installation).
Answer 71
We have the same exact problems how did you resolve it?
Answer 72
The two problems I had were:1. Could not see the menu Bar2. Could not uncheck the Menu bar entry in the tools menu.The only solution (after trying with registry keys, no add-ins etc.) that worked was suggested by J Hall
I've been having the same disappearing Menu Bar problem, & tried all of the above solutions to no avail - however I've just found elsewhere on the web another way of sorting it out, which has finally worked for me! The problem I had was that when you right click up by one of the tabs (so you get the Menu Bar - Links - Status Bar etc menu up) and try and uncheck Menu Bar, it wouldn't let me (so the Menu Bar was checked but still didn't display, and there was no way to change this). However, if you check/uncheck any of the other toolbars, then try and bring the Menu Bar back, it seems to magically reappear (finally!).

The Fulou process is the answer with a bit of change for xp pro:after apwiz brings up the uninstall window, you can't just uninstall IE7. You can highlight it, then on the left click remove Windows components, it will open with a bunch of things clicked. All are related to IE, so say yes-- when you reinstall everything related to IE is reinstalled. After that wait for the message saying the wizard worked.Then restart. Ignor any suggestions to install updates then restart. Just restart.Then go to your Windows folder and scan down for the ie7 folder. On my system spuninst.exe was inside a spuninst directory inside ie7, so Fulou's instructions didn't work because I told the machine to look in the wrong place. When you find suninst.exe, you can just double click, you don't have to do the command line thing.

Hi Jerry,I am not currently using IE7, but I did use it for a while. The menu bar (if I remember right) is permenantly hidden, but you can call it up on demand. Simply press the [ALT] key and it should appear. Failing that I'm not sure if you can get it to display permenantly. As for removing, I have no idea how wasy that would be. I used it on a test system and just re-installed the OS. Steve

Next Mustang to debut new knee air bag
Ford has a way to protect knees in a crash with an inflatable air bag that will debut on the 2015 Mustang later this year.
The new air bag is smaller and lighter, which makes for a roomier interior. The key is an inflatable plastic bladder integrated into the glove box door instead of the usual knee air bag mounted under the instrument panel.
The injection-molded plastic bladder replaces a traditional fabric air bag and is sandwiched between the inner and outer panels of the glove box door. When the car's sensors detect a crash is imminent, an inflator fills the bladder, extending the entire glove box outer door panel toward the front passenger's legs, providing a protective cushion.
The smaller packaging -- it is 75 percent smaller and 65 percent lighter -- allows designers to think differently about where they can place air bags in cars in the future.

BLOOMFIELD HILLS, Mich. - Considering the man, there is something inappropriately formal about the title: U.S. Ryder Cup captain Hal Sutton.
Cap'n Hal, maybe. Coach Sutt is more like it.
CBS analyst David Feherty likens Sutton to former Dallas Cowboys coach Tom Landry. Former Masters champion and Ryder Cup assistant Jackie Burke compares him to the legendary Vince Lombardi.
"I can't differentiate between the two," Sutton said of coaching vs. captaining.
Listen to Hal Sutton talk for one minute and you'd swear you were hearing Bobby Bowden or Jackie Sherrill or - on occasion - Bobby Knight.
There's definitely a bit of cantankerous ball coach in the 46-year-old father of four young'uns under the age of 7. Coach Sutt doesn't talk in circles or carefully weigh his words before spitting them out for everyone to digest.
In his aw-shucks, son-of-an-oilman Louisiana drawl, Sutton can't keep from summoning the coaching platitudes and analogies when he breaks down his "captaincy" of the U.S. team. How many golf captains have warned people to "buckle up your chinstraps" for a weekend tournament?
Take his insistence that his players won't be dictating the game plan against Europe by picking their own teammates.
"I hate to liken it to this, but I don't think Bill Parcells sits down with the top three quarterbacks of the Dallas Cowboys and says, 'OK, let's talk about who is going to start and I want to make everybody happy,'" Sutton said. "He's not going to do that. I'm not going to do that, either."
You half expect to see Sutton riding around Oakland Hills for the next few days wearing coaching shorts with a whistle around his neck trying to keep his team in line. Why not? What is the Ryder Cup but a couple of two-a-days to set up a super Sunday showdown?
On TV
Thursday: Opening Ceremonies, 3:30 p.m. GOLF, 4 p.m. USA.
Friday: 7 a.m. USA, 3 p.m. USA.
Saturday: 7 a.m. KAMR, 3 p.m. KAMR.
Sunday: 11 a.m. KAMR.
And Sutton is exactly the kind of "coach" the United States team needs to turn back the tide of inexplicable European dominance in this biennial event. He's a kick-in-the-pants leader who talks about "corralling talent."
Sutton's mission, which he hesitated five days in 2002 before choosing to accept, is to just win, baby. He wasn't picked because he might have the best taste in choosing uniforms or because he might give the most diplomatic toast at the pre-tournament tuxedo dinner.
Sutton's job is to take a mish-mashed team of 12 millionaire independent contractors accustomed to worrying only about themselves and turn them into a team that can beat back the best that Europe has to offer. And Europe's recent offerings, though hardly as flashy as the domestic favorites, have possessed the coveted Ryder Cup six of the last nine times.
"We'll play to win," said Sutton, who in four Ryder Cups as a player was on a winner only once. "That's the one mistake the U.S. has made. They tried to be politically correct, and to my knowledge since I've been playing professional golf, Europe has yet to do that. They play to win."
To that end, Sutton is throwing out the traditional American play book.
He has welcomed the caddies into the inner sanctums usually reserved for players. He has brought in Michael Jordan for a pep talk and a comedian to loosen things up.
But as for the biggest decisions a captain/coach needs to make - who plays together and when - Sutton says only one thing matters.
"Decisiveness," he said. "I hate second-guessing. It's killer in golf.
It's the worst thing a person can do as a golfer is to second-guess."
Every decision a Ryder Cup captain makes will be second-guessed ad infinitum based on how the matches pan out. Sutton is comfortable with that. Like the best coaches, he doesn't really care what other people think.
"I'll write the names down in order that they are going to play, and I'll walk in and lay it down just like that, and I'll walk out," he said of his match lineups. "And that's exactly how we're going to play."
Sutton is keeping that game plan to himself. Even the players won't know until Thursday afternoon what the pairings and order will be for the first team matches Friday. He has told them all to "expect the unexpected." The only hint he's given is that all 12 Americans will play Friday and that Tiger Woods will play twice.
"Be prepared to beat the other two guys by yourself," he told his players. "If I give you a little help, that's a bonus."
"He's told us, 'You'll know when you need to know, but we have a plan,'" Jim Furyk said.
Sutton made it clear that he'll pair players based on anything but friendship because it breeds "complacency in comfort." He's not too shy to put a player on the bench if he's struggling, saying he wants his players to check their egos in the locker room and be mature for the good of the team.
"The truth is, some will play a bigger part than others," Sutton said. "That is just the reality of it, and I hope everybody can accept that and understand their role."
Sutton is not unwilling to talk bluntly, even to his linchpin leader Woods, who he challenged two years ago to think about living up to the precedent Jack Nicklaus set in the Ryder Cups of yore.
"I won't be afraid to tell them what I think," Sutton said.
That said, Sutton won't be stubbornly dictatorial. He trusts the advice of his assistants, Burke and Steve Jones, a former U.S. Open champion at Oakland Hills. He'll listen to players and then make his own decisions.
"I'm not going to be stupid, come hell or high water, you're going to do this, or else," he said. "I'm not going to throw the chair out on the court or anything else."
But like any coach worth his whistle, Sutton knows where the buck will stop when this is all over Sunday.
"Here is one thing for sure and certain," he said. "Hal Sutton won't win (the Ryder Cup), but Hal Sutton could lose it, and that's what's going to be written. Now if that's really the case, we're going to do it my way."
Can't you just hear Lombardi saying that?

Well, it's no big mystery: I liked it, thought it would be a good opener, and even had it planned for episode 1 when first thinking about the show. What really makes this episode special is a selection from the Flower soundtrack, something you can get now on the PlayStation Store (it's difficult to link to, so all I can do is strongly encourage you to log in on your PS3 and get it). Not to mention the incredible After Burner medley from the S.S.T. Band's out-of-print live album. More cool stuff from Okami, Namco Museum Essentials, and Twinsen's Odyssey, an old favorite of mine, are also packed into this episode.
This is the longest episode of The Sound Test yet, and while I know there are people who get super elated about podcasts that are as long as their lives, don't take it as the new standard. There was just too much awesome I wanted to share this week!
P.S. Episode 3 has been "remastered" inasmuch as my vocal track has now been amplified, after several complaints about the quietness. I apologize, but thanks for lookin' out. Hoping ep 4 is OK too.
P.P.S. I incorrectly noted that XOC's "SMW" was released in 2007. Technically true: That was the expanded edition. The original came out in 2005.
P.P.P.S. I super screwed up and misattributed the design of Twinsen's Odyssey to Michel Ancel, not Frederick Raynal. My apologies. I used to be smarter.

I haven't listened yet, but this already sounds great.
Comment(s)Posted: Apr 25, 2010 12:00AM PST by kentdoggydog
My love of The Rocketeer really makes me enjoy that Dark Void track, which very nearly rips it off completely. They wouldn't be the first, as that soundtrack has appeared in so many trailers for other movies, I almost can't stand it. ALMOST.
That Namco piece would probably the best menu music I've ever heard, if not for the menu music of Garden Gnome Carnage.
Nice pull on Twinsen's Odyssey, though I'm much more familiar with the original Little Big Adventure. Mr. Vachey also did the music for the original Alone in the Dark, which I quite enjoy.
Thanks, Ray!
WowPosted: Apr 25, 2010 12:00AM PST by BobbyWatson
Can't stop listening to the Namco Museum Music piece...
m4aPosted: Apr 26, 2010 12:00AM PST by Valerick
I think the m4a format is used because it allows Ray to index the podcast into "chapters" for each song. It's great for skipping ahead within a podcast if the current song isn't your thing. Call it tyranny of the majority, perhaps, but I would hate to lose that feature so that a handful of fringe mp3 player users can access it.
Loved itPosted: Apr 26, 2010 12:00AM PST by takeshikitano3
Realing liking the podcast Ray, keep 'em coming.
Love you, love the showPosted: Apr 26, 2010 12:00AM PST by AgitatorAcadamia
Thank for pointing out the Dark Void soundtrack. I love the composer and though I know the game is not so good, the music is fantastic. So fantastic it almost makes me want to play the game.
I'll have to support the composer and developer as best I can with a soundtrack purchase.
Though we may never see a sequel to Dark Void to fix the myriad of problems in the first game, I hope to hear more from Bear in the game OST space soon.
'The Sound Test' is amazing, fantastic work!Posted: Apr 27, 2010 12:00AM PST by dock
I've been listening to 1up podcasts for over four years, but this is the first time I've been inspired to express my adoration. I must have listened to each episode of The Sound Test ten times over, and I think the selection of music as well as the introductary information is excellent. It's very clear that you're well informed on the topic of game music, and I appreciate the breadth of style and era within the chosen content. I always remember the game music episode of
If I was to make a request for music, obvious picks would be things Drill Land and Gitaroo Man.
Are you avoiding unoriginal music, like Jet Set Radio? That might also expand for things like Sega Touring Car, but also odd cheeseball items like 'Hold me Close' or 'Kiss' in Steep Slope Sliders. There's a lot to be said for keeping it original music only.
Keep up the great work!
Really digging the Test,Posted: Apr 28, 2010 12:00AM PST by RussTheHammer
You've always been a favorite cohost of mine on the ol' Retronauts, Mr. Barnholdt, and it's nice to see you expand into new horizons. Can't wait for the next podshow.
Awesomely bad ideaPosted: Apr 29, 2010 12:00AM PST by ajsuarez
Listening to S.S.T.'s Afterburner while racing your friends home, doing 90 in the highway round 2 am.
As a kid I would fawn over the absolutely EPIC arcade cabinet, and my spirit would sink when i would (undoubtedly) find the machine was broken...
Thanks Ray, for letting me live the dream (while almost getting myself fined/killed)
As for the podcast...Posted: Apr 29, 2010 12:00AM PST by ajsuarez
I think ep. 2 was the lowest point, but it's a C+ in this AAA podcast. One man podcasts have a very nice sound, since they demand lots more preparation than "Hey you, can you spare an hour to talk nonsense?" Thanks for all your hard work!
Namco Museum EssentialsPosted: May 04, 2010 12:00AM PST by blizzardjesus
Was there actually a soundtrack that this was included in? I would love to get my hands on a cd or mp3 of it if it exists out there?
Also a great show. Keep up the good work.
LBA!Posted: May 06, 2010 12:00AM PST by PrimordialSeven
I didn't realise how many people know of those games. I only got to play Twinsen's Odyssey but there's definitely something about it that just completely immersed me in that world- I've no doubt the music had some part to play to set the mood and probably another part is spending so long trying to complete the damn thing.
I actually managed to find several midi tracks from LBA 1 a while back and it's amazing how nostalgic I still get listening to it.

There was no wall-to-wall NFL draft coverage in 1981, no live Twitter updates. No wisecracks about Mel Kiper Jr.'s hair.
"I can remember not being called until the next day," Stump Mitchell recalled this week.
The Citadel's greatest football player was one of the best value picks in NFL draft history, a St. Louis Cardinals ninth-round choice worth 42 NFL touchdowns.
No team will get more player for less risk today.
Mitchell, 54, knows both sides of a draft that has fewer rounds than in 1981, and fewer 5-9, 188-pound running backs.
As a Citadel cadet, the St. Mary's, Ga., native waited for the phone to ring.
As an Arizona Cardinals running backs coach, he will sit in the "war room" this afternoon hoping a favorite running back prospect ends up with a flight to Phoenix.
"After being the number two rusher in college behind (South Carolina's) George Rogers, of course I was hoping to go a lot higher than a round that doesn't even exist now, which is the ninth round," said Mitchell, still The Citadel's career rushing leader with 4,062 yards. "I was going to class and when I got a free opportunity, I was back in my room anticipating a call that never came. Then, the next day when it came, I can remember telling (Cardinals Director of Pro Personnel) Larry Wilson, 'I am going to make your damn ball club.' I was a little upset, frustrated, to say the least. But it all turned out well."
George Rogers and L.T.
The 1981 draft opened with the New Orleans Saints selecting Rogers, the Heisman Trophy winner, as the first overall pick. Then the New York Giants took Lawrence Taylor from North Carolina. A few picks later, the San Francisco 49ers tabbed Ronnie Lott.
But Mitchell had a better NFL career than more than half of the 1981 first-round picks. Extra versatile, he still holds the Cardinals record for all-purpose yards, amassing 11,988 as a running back, wide receiver, punt returner and kick returner from 1981-1989.
He threw a touchdown pass in 1986.
These days, Mitchell likes working with rookie running backs and sharing pointers like those he received in St. Louis upon showing up in the "Show Me" State.
"It is awesome giving these guys a chance to correct some of the things they have done wrong in the past," Mitchell said. "I can remember Ottis Anderson being the (Cardinals) starting running back and one of the first things he told me when I was coming in was 'Hey, you are trying to go real fast, you need to have patience. You can be a heck of runner and I see you have talent.' It was awesome. Ottis was the starting running back and I was the ninth-round draft pick coming in trying to make the team and he was coaching me up. It was great."
A lot has happened since then.
Second contract
Mitchell has been a high school head coach in Arizona and at Morgan State, an NFL assistant coach with the Seattle Seahawks and Washington Redskins and the head coach at Southern University.
The Cardinals struggled in St. Louis, moved to Arizona and kept losing. They reached the Super Bowl during the 2008 season, fired head coach Ken Whisenhunt after last season and hired Bruce Arians, who added Mitchell to his new staff.
Mitchell immediately got busy screening draft-available running backs. The group included South Carolina's popular Marcus Lattimore, who gained 2,677 yards and scored a team-record 41 touchdowns before suffering an infamous knee injury last October against Tennessee.
"I think he can make it in the NFL," Mitchell said. "It is unfortunate what has happened to him, having two severe knee injuries to end his college career. Hopefully, he will be blessed where he can get in the league and stay healthy and recoup what he didn't get when he gets his second contract."
In other words, the Stump Mitchell path to NFL success but with less waiting for the phone call.

Varsity Cup fitting end to 2011-12 season
The 2011-12 high school sports year officially ends today, and unfortunately for area fans, the spring season's final day once again will not include a District 10 representative.
Four PIAA baseball championship games and four softball title games will be played today, and no D-10 team will be included.
D-10 had four state quarterfinalists -- three in softball and one in baseball, but none advanced to the semifinals. Fairview, Fort LeBoeuf and Saegertown each lost by one run in softball, and Saegertown's baseball team fell by two runs.
Despite the disappointing ending on the diamonds, it's been an outstanding, albeit unusual year for D-10 sports.
There have been lowlights, including feuds between schools and District 10, probations, title forfeitures and more.
However, there have been many triumphant moments by student-athletes that overshadowed the negative occurrences.
Last week's second annual Varsity Cup banquet celebrated many of those triumphs. Olympic hero Bruce Baumgartner gave an inspired talk to a crowd of more than 300. Three state championship teams and many high-caliber athletes were honored. Cathedral Prep and Villa Maria were revealed as the winner of the Varsity Cup as D-10's premier athletic program.
Despite those highlights, one moment clearly stood out. The Inspirational Athlete Award was shared by Mercyhurst Prep's Kendal Schaetzle, General McLane's Alex Burbules and North East's John Manison. Each overcame overwhelming obstacles to rejoin teammates while serving as uplifting role models for those around them.
I had a lump in my throat as each athlete's bio was read. Many in the crowd teared up when it was announced that the three would share the award. Everyone in the room gave the three winners a prolonged standing ovation, and the talk about Schaetzle, Burbules and Manison lingered long after the event.
It provided a moment of perspective for all who attended: Not all victories come on the playing field.
More all-star teams:
The Times-News spring all-star series continued Sunday with the boys and girls track and field all-District 10 teams.
The all-star series will conclude Sunday when the Times-News unveils the baseball and softball all-stars.
All-star games ahead:
Several high school senior all-star games will be played during the next few weeks, beginning Saturday with two football games -- the inaugural North-South Senior All-Star Game and the Big 33 Classic.
The North team in the new game features many recent Erie County graduates, and the South features players from Mercer County and District 9.
No area players will participate in the Big 33 this year.
On the softball diamond, the Erie County All-Star Game will take place Sunday. The City-County All-Star Baseball Game will follow June 26.
Family state title curse ends:
Throughout the years, the Kirik family has enjoyed its share of memorable sports moments, particularly in Illinois high school athletics. We've had No. 1-ranked football teams at Alleman High School, conference champions, a 1,300-yard rusher, college players, a national wrestling champion and U.S. Olympic wrestling trials qualifier.
However, we had never had a state champion.
Our teams always seemed to drop a heartbreaker in a state semifinal or championship game. Our star wrestler lost in the state finals to a freakishly talented heavyweight.
The Kirik Curse officially ended Saturday when family members from several states watched as my nephew, Nick Kowalczuk, helped his Oak Park-River Forest baseball team win the Illinois big-school championship.
Nick is a sweet-swinging first baseman who had game-winning hits in two state playoff games, and it's hard to believe that a 6-foot 3-inch athlete like him is related to the 5-foot 7-inch me.
My nephew missed his chance at individual glory Saturday when he was intentionally walked with the winning run on third base in the bottom of the seventh inning. However, one batter later, a teammate's single to right field gave OPRF the state title.
The hit unleashed a raucous celebration by OPRF fans. Among that jubilant crowd was a certain group of family members behind the third-base dugout joyfully hugging, jumping and screaming in unison.
I'll never forget when my sister Paula -- Nick's mom -- looked at me, tears streaming down her face, and yelled, "The Curse is finally over!"
Our celebration continued early into the next morning.
Thanks, Nick and OPRF, for letting us experience that long-awaited moment.
Varsity Letter schedule:
The Varsity Letter will take a week off next Friday as part of the e-newsletter's summer schedule. The next Varsity Letter will be sent June 29.
To provide feedback or ideas, send an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com. Write "Varsity Letter" in the subject line.

Trump Hotel Plans Progress for the Old Post Office Pavilion in DC
November 29, 2012
By: Oksana Balytsky
Plans are progressing for the new Trump Hotel to pop up at the Old Office Pavilion in the heart of downtown Washington DC. We're excited at the idea of having a new luxury hotel in our nation's capital, but until the t's are crossed and the i's dotted, we remain optimistically skeptical. The Old Post Office is a historic landmark, and the Trumps have been through various meetings with officials from many agencies governing the building. The most recent rendezvous with Ivanka Trump and her team revealed the most up-to-date details of the property including the location of the restaurant, parking, and luxury suites. The concern of how these additions will affect the historic structure of the building remains, so it's likely that not all of the proposals will get approved. The lease is expected to be signed by the Trumps this winter, so construction on the hotel could begin in 2014 and the new hotel could open as early as 2016.
Got travel plans in the foreseeable future? Be sure to explore the other luxury hotels in Washington DC as well as Trump Hotels around the world.

The Ritz Carlton Georgetown Tops Our List of Charming DC Hotels
November 16, 2012
By: Oksana Balytsky
The problem we run into with luxury hotels in Washington DC is that they're usually on a busy street with a lot of traffic and chaos. We set out on a mission to find a luxury hotel in a downtown location that featured a quieter, more intimate feel, and we came back successful.
The Ritz Carlton Georgetown is located a block from M Street and the heart of the nightlife and shopping of Georgetown district. This beautiful hotel features 86 oversized guestrooms and suites as well as a Boutique Spa with a variety of massages, body treatments, and facials available. The hotel staff is attentive and engaged, and the spa staff is professional and all-around wonderful. For the disbelievers, I strongly recommend the hot stone massage at the Boutique Spa; you'll leave feeling completely refreshed, renewed, and ready for anything that lies ahead.
The Ritz Carlton Georgetown is a family and pet friendly hotel. There are 9 rooms with 2 double beds, and the suites can accommodate rollaway beds very easily for an additional $40 per night. The Ritz puts on a weekly Lifestyle Series on Fridays, and December's feature Kelly Jenkins from Capital Décor and Events coming to speak to guests and locals about transforming a space and decorating with style.
For folks looking for an intimate luxury hotel in the heart of Washington DC, we certainly give the Ritz Carlton Georgetown a big thumbs up!
