Absence of leadership is the worst part of crisis
Published 03/01/2009 | 00:00
QUITE a few people have had a merry Christmas and a great start to the new year. I don't mean anyone who has to work for a living. I mean that extraordinarily privileged class, deputies and senators.
If you read the latest table showing the expenses each of them claims, you will have been able to work out a simple sum. Taking into account salaries after tax, and the profit made on expenses and allowances, the humblest backbencher can clear €100,000 a year, and I suspect that most of them do a lot better than that.
What do they do in return for the taxpayers' generosity? For generations now, it has been known that they carry out very little parliamentary work. The Dail and Seanad sit only occasionally. Right now they are on a 40-day break. Deputies spend their time running errands for their constituents.
Or do they? In the digital age (and some of them are wizards with computers, if with little else) the work is easy and not at all time-consuming. At one time, they used to tell researchers that they worked 80 to 100 hours a week.
Whatever about the past, they do not put in those hours nowadays.
But at least deputies are elected by popular vote and have constituencies to look after. Senators are not and do not. The Seanad is one of the most pointless and undemocratic institutions ever invented. I side with those who want it abolished.
In real life that is not going to happen, but we are entitled to ask why they are paid expenses. For the matter of that, why are they -- and local councillors -- paid anything at all?
The answer is, at one level, that our political class are very good at looking after themselves. Indeed, those who have the biggest "notions" think themselves underprivileged. People will remember Bertie Ahern for many reasons, but I for one will remember him for his complaint that he did not have a White House or an Elysee Palace to live in.
At a more important level, it suits the establishment to have docile and comfortable foot soldiers. And if they are professional soldiers, so much the better. Fear of an election, which carries with it the danger of losing a seat, is magnified.
Another inducement to loyalty is the proliferation of mostly useless committees, complete with chairmen and such like, all with little top-up allowances, and, of course, with well-paid officials to serve them. A standing joke about the present regime is that all but two Fianna Fail deputies have "jobs" of some kind.
If the committees do little good, they can do little harm. Not so the 15 Cabinet ministers and 20 junior ministers. By constantly increasing the number of junior ministers, previous Taoisigh, especially Bertie, blurred chains of command and responsibility and thereby contributed to the shambles that passes for an administration.
At the same time, they built up a large "payroll vote" and diminished the chances that they themselves could be toppled by a backbench revolt.
But when discontent affects the top echelons of a ruling party as well as the foot soldiers, the scene changes, and in the still watches of the night, Brian Cowen must sometimes reflect that no Fianna Fail leader since Sean Lemass has resigned entirely of his own volition.
Ministers as well as backbenchers want to avoid a devastating general election. But if the economy keeps on deteriorating at its present pace, the prospects of a political recovery will not improve in 2009, or 2010, or 2011.
Loyalty, traditional or bought, will simply not bear the strain. Then the alternative becomes tempting.
However, the arguments against a coup are enormous. In the first place, where is the candidate to replace the present leader? Secondly, what legitimacy could he or she possibly have? Cowen came to office without a general election, without even a leadership contest. There is a limit to the number of palace revolutions a democratic country can tolerate.
There is a much wider question. What would Micheal Martin, or Dermot Ahern, or any other successor to Cowen actually DO? The most dismaying thing about our financial and economic crisis is not the job losses or the half-built houses or the budget deficit or even the banking imbroglio, terrifying though all these are. It is the overwhelming evidence that the Government simply does not know what it is doing.
And the Government's panicky and rudderless situation is related, much more closely than might appear on the surface, to the salaries and perks of backbenchers, the posturing of ministers who love nothing more than the sight of a red carpet -- and the arrogance of bankers.
This month we celebrate the 90th anniversary of the first Dail, that remarkable assertion of democracy and independence.
Three years later, we became an independent country. Our early governments were austere, fiscally conservative: too conservative, no doubt.
In recent times we grew rich. I think it was Pearl Bailey who said "I've been rich and I've been poor, and rich is better". So it is.
But in growing rich, some of us lost the run of ourselves, and nobody more so than the Fianna Fail party, from the ministers in their limousines to the overpaid backbenchers to their friends in the late, unlamented Galway tent.
Only a few months ago, I had hopes that Cowen might put a stop to the nonsense. Those hopes have faded. Our real political choice now is neither a palace coup nor whatever acrobatics the Greens may choose to indulge in.
Either Cowen makes a miraculous, Gordon Brown-style recovery, or we must have a change of government and we must have it in 2009, no later.

Excellent 4.4 /5 from 202 reviews
We had booked using Hotels.com and chose the "1 King Bed (non-smoking) room". When we went to check in, the lady told us that the booking showed that the selection made was for a smoking room. We explained to her that there was clearly a mistake in communication between Hotels.com and Holiday Inn. She ended up getting us a non-smoking room but it had 2 double beds instead of the King that we selected (which was a bit of a let down considering we were on our honeymoon roadtrip).
Friendly and pleasant staff. Very comfortable room.
This was our second stay at Holiday Inn Vacaville. We arrived early but thought we'd check on the off chance our room might be ready - after standing for 5 minutes at reception while the receptionist was chatting out back, we received no thank you for waiting and a short 'no, check in is at 3pm' without even checking room availability. We returned shortly after to wait in the lobby but needed the WiFi password, this time we got a really friendly receptionist who gave us our room keys 10 minutes later! The receptionist later on that day was also very friendly so obviously the first one was having a bad day but it doesn't give a good first impression. No-one had name badges so I can't compliment or name and shame! Room was spacious with two double beds - only disappointing factor with the room was the bath plug didn't work. Breakfast was standard Holiday Inn and plenty available. Excellent wifi.
Our stay was short lived and fine aside from the dirty hotel sheets in one of our beds (we had 2 queens). The bed with dirty sheets had unknown stains/spots all over it and smelled like they had not been washed! We were really grossed out so we called the front desk but housekeeping was gone so the front desk receptionist brought us a clean unfitted sheet (that's all she could find) and took the dirty one.
Very close to the outlets, easy to find, clean, modern, free breakfast. Great stay.

Bisexuals in Destin, Florida
We are a happily married bisexual couple who are seeking other bisexuals. We have been married since the mid-80's and are committed life partners. Our children are now adults and all but one have left the nest. We enjoy being together. We are 420 friendly. We prefer quiet evenings home over wild evenings out... but we do enjoy letting our hair down every now and then. We are a discreet couple who want to keep our private life private, but do not fear getting "caught or exposed". We have been seeking bisexuals since the mid 90's. We enjoy same-sex play and we like seeing each other satisfy their bisexual desires. We enjoy the freedom we share when we play with other bisexuals.
Hey! Bi male here. Very down to Earth, masculine, attractive, professional and FUN! I am interested in finding fun bisexuals who have very few hangups....it's sex, it should be fun! I am interested in singles and couples. I especially have an interest in "older" couples but by no means a requirement. I would also like to find a bisexual female to partner with for ongoing tristes with other bi couples.
I am a fun person .Easy to smile and laugh. A good friend. Curious by nature and affectionate. Never want to embarrass anyone. Wish to make new friends and explore new activities alone or in groupsI .travel to Florida in winter. Need new friends there too. no harm in talking and exploring like interests.I enjoy old cars ,motorcycles, swimming ,boating,
I was fortunate enough to get married within the last few years and wife is starting to branch out sexually... especially as to her "playing" with me. She has ZERO, NONE, NIL interest in other women... but is starting to talk dirty about "using me." We have started to introduce sex toys/dildos into the bedroom... and she has started to mention strap on play... Mmmm...
Again, just an update for anyone who might take the time to read the profile! I sometimes travel over to the Sarasota area in Florida and Washington DC area for work... so keep that in mind. Hope everyone has a GREAT Fall/Winter! Polite and courteous. Like most of you, I'm open minded and willing to consider the opinions and preferences of others. Not that I'm necessarily going to be of the same opinion or be willing/interested in making the same decision, but I'm willing to listen and discuss things. One last thing, I just realized my "pop up blocker" was on. So if anyone tried "IM" me I'm afraid I never knew it. Sorry. I'll try to remember to turn if off when I'm on BSP. But I am very much planning on meeting people through BSP! I don't mean to suggest that I need to have TONS of "getting to know each other" time, but I need to feel some type of comfort and chemistry to move onto the physical stage! OK, best of luck to everyone. Cheers!
* * LET'S CUT TO THE CHASE: I'm addicted to bi sex. I'm always seeking over-sexual bi's for delicious times... * WHY WE SHOULD HOOK-UP: 1) We love porn 2) We love bi sex 3) We love toys # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # * Now, details..... WHO AM I? A 6'2" 205 lbs, tanned, athletic, bisexual guy that tastes great and are definitely filling (8"+). I love women and men and enjoy intimate times with both.. I HAVE A LOT OF GOOD FRIENDS and am successful in my career. I'm here to live and explore my other side. I'm fun to be around, low maintenance, and completely enjoy sharing pleasure with women, men and couples. I LOVE ORAL SEX -- giving and receiving, with women and men. I love the feeling of another's orgasm as well as my own around an excited cock. Don't allow my candor and rhetoric fool you. I'm a classy guy that enjoys the best but also appreciates simple things. But I also love feeling it deep in my throat while my appreciative woman watches jealously. I like to wear my Oakley's while you take some rally nasty pictures and videos of me deep throating the nearest cock. I've done well and need the same from my friends. I dress casually but can slip on the monkey suite and turn heads. I always present a professional image so very few know of my passion and how I love to please others. But I'm most comfortable in my birthday suite with you!! I'M AN OUTGOING "PEOPLE PERSON" who enjoys meeting new, fun people to go to sporting events (Lakers, Clippers, Dodgers, Angels, Kings,
s, USC) with and later have hot, dynamite sex. # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # * Now to my "other side: I MAY APPEAR TO BE[/B] the "All American boy next door", I'm actually a kinky, nasty, errotic, well hung (8"
and very oral 39 yo bi guy who looks like I'm 30 and acts like I'm 25. I'M A SEXUAL EPICUREAN AND LOVE PUSSY AND BIG COCK (not necessarily in that order). I like it all. I'm searching for those elusive bi's who are like me -- ovesexed, always horny and who can't get enough sex. I need someone to share myself, my sex and my life with. Bisexuals only. IN THE BEDROOM I love to play with sex toys (dildos and vibrators) and watch xxx porno DVDs. I love the feeling of being "filled-up" with a delicious dildo or vibrator. I especially like making others cum and the thought of a shooting cock makes me quiver! It's so damn hot..... WHEN WATCHING PORN or enjoying each other I love sliding a delicious dildo in my ass and having the best and hardest orgasms possible. I also love the hot, nasty feeling of a delicious cock banging away at me and women with their strap ons having their way with me. I LOVE BEING FILLED UP and crave that errotic feeling of a cockhead sliding deep inside my ass...... FINALLY, I LOVE snowballing with women and men who want to share cum! LET'S CUM TOGETHER SOON!!!!! Paul My Ideal Person: MY UTLIMATE GOAL: To meet young, kinky, open-minded bi women whom I can spoil and be her sugar daddy. She must be open to anything. Also to meet youngish, bi men for bi sex. I also want to make some very good sex/fuck friends. They will also be special friends that can share a closeness and some very intimate thoughts and times. Discretion is very important to me. I want my special friends to share privacy and intimacy. I'm very bi. I'm interested in hot, nasty, erotic sex with kinky, nasty uninhibited and open minded bi gals and (well hung) bi guys who love the same things as me: Well hung bi guys, kinky bi gals, couples and groups. I love eating pussy and sucking cock. Let's get together, life is too short.
I'm a displaced Southern the truth be known. I'm from St. Louis, Missouri and every time I come up North they called me a Southerner and every time I go down South they called me a Northerner and it wasn't in a good tone of voice either. Dang Mason-Dixon Line!!! So what am I- a Yankee or Southerner? I'm a Southerner and love everything about it. Most people that come down South and visit just don't understand what the South is all about. The Northerners love being there; the food, listening to the way we all talk, and how easy life is. So I'll do my best to explain it to ya'll, I'll talk slow so ya'll Northerners can keep up. So come on up on the porch, sit back in the rocker, kick your boots or shoes off, put your feet up and let me pour you a sweet tea and let me tell ya'll bout' the South. What is the South to me... from the moment you come in to the South there's an air of being home and a feeling that you�re always welcomed. Where manners still mean something and used by everyone, both young and old. A "yes mame" and "no sir" will get you a long way. Young boys are taught to open a door for a Lady and never cut in front of a Lady. Where men can still compliment a woman and can give her a peck on the cheek and it's not considered being forward or making a pass at her. The sweet sounding southern twang of a Southern Woman's voice... it will give you gooose-bumps. A place where neighbors see each other and ask "how's your family" and they know that you're truly interested and will listen all day if they have too. When you go over to a neighbors house in the evenings you'll be handed a tall cold glass of sweet tea or your favorite double of whatever it is you drink, preferably bourbon or scotch. And you�re always welcomed to stay for dinner and if there's a Tennessee football game on that's a makings of a party. And the South is my home and I love everything about it... the ante-bellum homes, the oaks, the swamps, the pines, the moss, the bayous, the fields, the rivers, the lakes, the crawfish, the shrimp, the cotton fields, the barbeque, the sugar cane, pecans, pralines, beignets, gators, riverboats, the Blues, Jazz, The French Quarter, The Mighty Mississippi, The Cajuns, Zydeco, Mint Juleps, The Mudbugs, The Captains, The
and Bars, Southern hospitality, Southern charm, Southern gentlemen, red beans and rice, frog legs, hushpuppies, fried catfish, Gumbo, Etouffee, magnolias, roses, azaleas, muscadines, oleanders, blackberries, strawberries, Jambalaya, Tennessee Vols, Florida beaches, Tennessee- Smoky Mountains, Louisiana bayous, Arkansas Ozarks, Mardi Gras, The Big Easy, Mississippi Mud
, Georgia peaches, Indian mounds, Kentucky Derby, Virginia culture, The Carolinas, cornbread, yams, soppin' syrup, home-made biscuits, fried green tomatoes, oh this could go on forever and I have only just begun. Now about me: I DON'T PLAY GAMES WITH PEOPLE- IF YOU PLAY GAMES PLEASE DON'T CONTACT ME. I'm a really down to earth, easy going and laid back, simple and uncomplicated man. I'm a postive thinking person and like being around others that are positive... the glass is always full. People say that they know where they stand with me and that I speak my mind frequently...not sure if that�s good or bad yet. I will tell you like it is sometimes with a bit of sugar and other times without, but I'll tell you the truth either way. I'm very sharp witted and quick with a come-back. My friend's would also say that I'm a very funny person that keep them laughing. Lauhgter is good for our souls. I've learned through life's experiences that the truth may hurt a bit, but it frees your soul. I love outdoors and enjoy anything you can possibly do outdoors, especially if it includes water; boating, kayaking, canoeing, white water rafting, cycling, camping, hiking and horseback riding trails (especially the in the Smoky Mountains), traveling our marvelous country, meeting people, skiing- water and snow, quite times with my partner, hot oil massages, hanging out with friends, cooking- indoor and grilling out, wood working and much, much more. I love really great music...something about music just makes all your worries melt away and recharge my soul. My taste in music is some what eclectic, but Dave Mathews Band, James Taylor and John Mayer are some of my favorites. I�m a Gemini and what exactly is a Gemini �I�m quick minded, and constantly seek out new knowledge. I prefer to learn by doing. I love to see the world, meet as many people as I can, and have as many experiences as possible. I�m not a homebody, I�m very energetic and have an adventurous soul and that I will remain youthful throughout my life. I tend to be the life of a party with lively mannerisms, a quick wit, and I have the ability to embellish a story about the most mundane experience and make it seem magical (my favorite author is Mark Twain). I do have a tendency of wanting the spotlight on me occasionally. I seem to be at home in almost any situation because of my ability to adapt to new things. This is a by-product of my love of novelty and the famous Gemini independence that keeps them from becoming too attached to a particular set of circumstances. Independence and restlessness can make my personality seem superficial to others. I�m charming to all people that I meet, and do not seem to show special favor to anyone. And only my partner gets to see the �Bad Boy� in me. I�m not for the faint of heart, I require an intelligent, adaptable, and tolerant partner. You will never be bored with me as a partner; I�m always seeking a new adventure. By the same token, my partner will need to be imaginative and clever, and be able to adapt to an ever changing environment that I may create and I to her�s. If you are unable to keep up, I will grow weary of the relationship and move on. I�m honest to myself as well as to my partner. I�m very attentive to my partner�s needs and wants and I expect the same in return. I�m a very sensual being and I love to feel, touch, kiss, extremely intimate with my partner. Stimulate my mind and soul and keep my interest and I�m yours forever. As a helper and worker if the job is interesting and appealing, I will get more done before lunch than anyone else will accomplish all week. If the task at hand seems mundane and boring, I will procrastinate for a short time before moving on to something more challenging. I love to be informed about all that is going on around me, and I will look to my partner for input and advice. In spite of my insistence on being in the limelight, I�m great team player. I need a partner that can keep up with me�is there a woman out there that can keep up???
Looking for a pretty transexual to meet in destin florida.
i am wm 37 in destin looking for couple to explore new things with so if you need erotic male in destin fl area email me and lets see what happens
anyone in destin???
great idea bear... i too surf trying to find news about bisexuals and you can find gay or strait tidbits but none really says much about bisexuals.....i also agree that it shouldn't take much to add the addition... maybe if everyone was asked upon signing in for 24 hours or whatnot i would be willing to bet that ev everyone would agree....
I vote for Florida--I now have a place to stay for free anytime in west Central Florida----Orlando is only an hour away so the Orlando area would be cool for me....right now I can't afford a trip to Cali but Florida is certainly in the cards.
Way to go!! I actually got a lot of heat for some time from the gay community including my (ex) girlfriend at the time for being bi sexual. They and she would say that there is no way you can be both blah blah blah. I tried to explain the different love that you can feel etc. It took a bit for me to get anywhere with the gay community in south florida but now that I am here in N fl I have met more bisexuals than basic homosexuals and it makes me happy to finally be recognized as not just a "fad"
I read an article in my local paper this morning that got me thinking
A landmark day for Bisexuals ...
Berkeley California has become what is thought to be the first US city to officially proclaim a day recognizing bisexuals.The city council unanimously declared Sept 23 as Bisexual pride and bi visibility day. Since 1999 Bisexuals have the date and bisexual pride events are held in Los Angeles, Boston , Chicago and other cities around the country.But Berkeley is believed to the first city that has taken the step of formally acknowledging the day
I'm not sure in this city that is actually acknowledged at all certainly not to the extent of the gay pride events. .... Does anyone know of events in their area to recognize the day ....Is bisexuality becoming more recognized and maybe even mainstream like being gay or lesbian maybe one day it wont be as taboo as it has always seemed to be
Just looking for thoughts opinions feelings anything you wanna throw into the discussion I'm curious to see what people think ...
Happy Bisexuality Day
I will be in the Destin area from July 5 2005- july 8or 9 email here if you woild like to get together, Charlie
Welcome to Florida.
Would love to be able to help you and show you around. What part of Florida are you moving to?
Hope to talk soon.

I think your site is perfect the way it is. I have been on many sites looking for other bisexuals like myself, and I have not had to much luck. I was in a lesbian chat room in yahoo chat and I asked what other sites are available for bisexuals like myself and some kind soul told me about this one. I am so happy I found it because I have already found another bisexual in my area. I find that bisexuals are not really welcome in the straight community and they are not really welcome in the gay community either. So with you and Bill having this site, it really helps people like myself. I have to thank you for providing this for myself and any other bisexual out there seeking a mate. Thanks.

The monthlong celebration of breast cancer awareness, now known as "Pinktober," kicked off last week when the mailman delivered our family's copy of Sports Illustrated for Kids. On the cover was a pink-clad NFL-er promoting -- along with everyone else -- breast cancer awareness month, or BCAM.
We have reached the happy point where Pinktober now targets a demographic group of 11.5- year-old boys with a vague "awareness" message. It's hard for me to think of a bigger wasted opportunity for public health education of young men. And this is just the tip of the pink iceberg. Advocates and bloggers have done a nice job of cataloging the egregious examples of pink efforts or pink dollars headed in the wrong direction.
It's gotten to the point where my favorite online advocates are nearly unanimous in their concern that we've over-pinked (read the transcript from this week's breast cancer tweetchat for a sampling). But I'm not sure that Pinktober is a lost cause. Like it or not, breast cancer awareness month has been a huge success.
By almost any measure, breast cancer has been radically transformed in the quarter-century-plus since BCAM began. Death rates are dropping more than 2 percent a year. Every year. For more than two decades. Add that up, and that's a drop in the death rate of 30 percent since 1989. In 1988, three years after BCAM's founding, there were 65 cancer drugs of any sort in development. Today there are 91 for breast cancer alone (though safer, more tolerable drugs should remain a public health priority). National Institution of Health funding for breast cancer quadrupled during the 1990s (and continues to rise). For those reasons, it's not time to walk away from BCAM. Instead, we need a reboot. Let's chuck "awareness" in favor of another element of the disease. An element where awareness and money can really make a difference. Here's my radical idea: Let's make pink about poverty. How do we do that? Four steps:
- Get the facts. Read the American Cancer Society's publication, "Breast Cancer Statistics 2011." Pay special attention to the way that the burden of breast cancer used to fall more heavily on the affluent, before BCAM. Note the way that this has flipped in the past two decades: Poor women are now 7 percent more likely to die of breast cancer than their richer counterparts.
- Stand up for health insurance. With health care reform in some legal and legislative peril, it's worth remembering that uninsured women are more than three times more likely to have metastatic disease than their insured counterparts.
- Stop consuming. Throwing more money at pink stuff is not going to help poor communities lift the burden of breast cancer. Instead, throw money at community clinics and organizations that are helping to screen low-income women, advocate for universal access to the best treatment and eliminate barriers to making healthy choices known to reduce breast cancer risk, such as diet and exercise.
- Tell the world. Ask specifically if the pink cupcakes at your local shop are going to benefit poor women. Snap a pic to post to Twitter while you're volunteering for a screening drive. Post a link to the ACS's report on your Facebook page.

It's never really about whether you are "good enoug." How many graduates from notable music schools aren't doing anything in music? Are they not good enough? Sure they are, but being good enough and being able to work are two different things.

Jack Sheldon is still "Trying to Get Good" and he was born in 1931
One thing to keep in mind concerning the post I made above where I told the story of my former teacher years ago is that he was as successful as he could be around here.
Had he wanted to try to so-called "move on up the ladder", he would have been limited by geography. He achieved all there was to achieve in this area - more than most people would do. There were/are no further opportunities to be had here.
There are many sacrifices to be made, and I think this may be one of them...
As someone who's walked in your shoes, and made a living playing for the last 10 years in the Army Band, I'd have to echo the advice of others "Listen to your parents" They likely have insight that many of us don't have because we don't know you.
Playing for a living is possible, but not probable, and "practice practice practice" while a good mantra for many, does not guarantee your success. I know many many players who practice hours and hours and will never be good enough to be hired over even mediocre players.
That being said, I consider myself a pretty good player, with a lot of experience in different genres, but I'm going to school to get my engineering degree. Not that music isn't still a passion, but kids are hard to raise on tips.

When you listen to your parents, ask them to make some constructive suggestions while they're at it. It's OK to advise against something, but often that has the effect of pushing the advisee towards it.
Your parents also know where else your talents and skills are strong, so I am sure they will respond positively when you ask for that.
The Beatles, by the way, practiced together for thousands and thousands of hours. They engaged in what is called dedicated practice, which works for just about anyone willing to do it.
Nothing is more contagious or tenacious than music. Once you are exposed it gets inside you and you can never get rid of it. It is also non-discriminating. It can be Ride of the Valkyries, In a Gadda da Vida, the Jeopardy 15 second thinking tune, your most disliked commercial jingle - it doesn't matter. Once triggered, off you go, like it or not.
you highlighted the wrong part. I think based on your post, this is what you should have picked up:
A better business model for many is to get a real job and play "part time".
I stand behind what I posted. If you have to ask the question, then at your stage, something REALLY IMPORTANT is missing. What you shouldn't miss is that no decision today has to destroy the rest of your life. I have played in a lot of great places, was also in an Army Band in Germany, have a lot of great gigs, but am a systems analyst which brings the rent, food, clothes and vacations in, with plenty of time left over for some serious horn, teaching and a bit of posting here.
I never asked the question after the 8th grade. Virtuosity was my goal (I never got there-still working on it). Even 3 years an Army Band in Germany was pure musical bliss. It never was a job, and I am 53 today and still isn't. It is possible to have your cake and eat it too, just not by the numbers.
It takes personality, common sense, business sense, marketing sense and finally a bit of talent. You just need to find you in those 5 elements.
Whenever I feel blue, I start breathing again.
GREAT question! Don't have any advice for you, just wanted you to know that I've been following your thread with a lot of interest. Good one. It's very informative and some experienced cats have chimed in here with a hard won first hand advice. Fantastic!
Trumpets are for extroverts - Lee Morgan
I think rowuk got it right on. Being agood- great player is important, but if you don't have a business sense, you probably won't succeed. In the big band era and I'm sure at the present, the bands had some very talented musicians who figured they were good enough to start ther own bands. Most(but not all) failed because they were lousy business men. The business aspect is just as important as the music. I think a strong likeable personality is important for making connections and networking. Also the advice, that having a steady job is good insurance against disaster. Good Luck.
Rowuk, I had no idea you are a former Army Bandsman - it seems there are quite a few of us around.
I don't think you and I are so very different - I think you are much more dedicated to your craft on the instrument than I am, but then, I gig as much as I want to already and my chops are at a point where I can practice to maintain them and still be successful in a gig situation. You teach as well - something I'm not willing to do, mainly from a time perspective, but also because that's just not a forte of mine - I really like working with kids on the high school level, but it's mainly just been a matter of passing along some tips and pointing out some good materials to work with.
I can't remember if I asked the question about whether I was good enough. I know that from the time I was in 7th grade and my hard work paid off on a chair placement audition that moved me up over 10 chairs, I've wanted to play music and be a musician. It was work at times when I was an Army Bandsman, but I wouldn't change it. It was a lot like being in high school band, only the ensembles were way better and I didn't have any other classes to go to.
So, I cruise along as a database administrator, husband and father, and I gig to pay for vacations, pay for my kids' extracurriculars, and that kind of thing. From time to time I'll get hired for a quartet or quintet gig - those are the times I really feel like a trumpet player.
So, am I "good enough?" Yeah, I tend to think so - at least good enough for the arena in which I play.

Grumbling over the Ghats
A skirmish between two Central committees on the definition of ecologically sensitive areas is one of the reasons why the hills are without any protection.
The mountainous stretch of the Western Ghats could be symbolic of a pressing challenge India encounters as she develops - the tussle for environmental conservation while pursuing rapid economic growth. One of India's most diverse landscapes, the Ghats traverse six states - Gujarat, Maharashtra, Goa, Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu.
The Ministry of Environment and Forests (MOEF) has been seeking to protect and rejuvenate the ecology of this region, but there remains a lack of consensus, even after two exhaustive committee reports over a span of three years.
The first committee to examine the state of the Ghats was headed by an ecologist, the second by a member of the Planning Commission - the choice of chairmen alone seems to illustrate the two ends of the conservation versus development debate. The first panel, the 14-member Western Ghats Ecology Expert Panel (WGEEP), was set up in March 2010 under the chairmanship of ecologist Professor Madhav Gadgil and it submitted its report a year later. Subsequently, the ministry set up a 10-member High Level Working Group under Planning Commission member and space scientist Dr K Kasturirangan in August 2012 to weigh the public response to the first report and map a way ahead. It submitted its report this April, but the ministry is yet to make a decision.
Thumb through the two reports and it's clear that both committees agree that the ecosystem is "in need of urgent action and attention". But they differ on issues as basic as what constitutes an "Ecologically Sensitive Area" (ESA) or how such zones can be monitored? The Gadgil report recommended that the entire Western Ghats be considered an ESA and suggested gradation into three zones for regulation, with active participation of local communities. It suggested that no special economic zones (SEZ) or new hill stations should be set up and no public land be converted to private land in the entire Ghats. Many state governments rejected these measures, fearing they would throttle growth.
In contrast, the second committee demarcated about 37 per cent of the Ghats, or 60, 000 sq km, as an ESA, recommending bans on mining, quarrying, thermal power plants or heavily polluting industries. It suggested that the Centre "immediately notify" this demarcation "in public interest". In the rest of the Ghats, it recommended policies that incentivise green growth and promote sustainable development, an approach that drew flak from environmentalists.
The issue isn't merely a bureaucratic skirmish between two committees;it's about the complexities involved in preserving the Ghats. There are concerns about whether such conservation diktats issued by the Centre infringe on the rights of individual states in a federal structure like India. What voice do local communities have in environmental policy making and implementation when pitted against powerful moneyed industrial lobbies? How can natural resources be effectively monitored in such vast and diverse stretches?
"Ultimately, the whole issue is about governance. We have adequate laws in terms of the Environment Protection Act, but we need honest and genuine implementation, " says Gadgil. Terming misgovernance the malady, he points out that when people protest, the government invokes the police to suppress agitations, but never invokes environmental laws to quell the abuse.
The WGEEP report documented such deficits in environmental governance. For instance, the committee observed overflow of untreated effluents from the Common Effluent Treatment Plant in Lote in Maharashtra's Ratnagiri district. Local communities have protested, but the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board has failed to act. Another example cited was the restricted presence of Biological Diversity Management Committees in states like Goa. Mandated under the Biological Diversity Act, 2002, these committees are meant to involve community members at local government levels (right down to the gram sabha) to document biodiversity resources and regulate their harvest.
WGEEP's stringent recommendations drew flak from state governments, which are gunning for economic growth. All the states except Karnataka (which has stopped the issue of mining permission in the Ghats) disagreed with the ban on mining in highlysensitive ESA with Maharashtra, Kerala and Gujarat opposing the restriction on transport infrastructure. The Maharashtra government even refused to stall the creation of new hill stations or SEZs.
It is precisely this environment versus development paradigm that needs to change, believes T R Shankar Raman, a scientist with the Nature Conservation Foundation, who has been living and working in the Anamalai Hills of the southern Western Ghats for over a decade. "We tend to see environment and development as two separate things but the environment is a significant component of development. The development process should address social and environmental concerns as well as profit-making, " he says.
This is particularly significant for the Western Ghats. "Nearly three-fourth of the pristine forests is lost, with much of what is remaining being degraded or fragmented. This is an ecologically important region with several endemic species and it is extremely important to conserve what is left. As species disappear, ecosystems begin to change, which can have a cascading effect on grasslands, forests, watersheds, and ultimately human lives, " he says. The damage that this cascading effect could cause was witnessed during the recent floods in Uttarakhand. We need to save the Ghats now to prevent a similar tragedy.
The Western Ghats cuts across six states - Gujarat, Maharashtra, Goa, Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu.
It is one of the country's most ecologically diverse landscapes, home to 4, 000 species of flowering plants and endemic fauna.
It has been acknowledged as one of the 34 biodiversity hotspots in the world by Conservation International.
It is inhabited by around 50 million people.

Dog aggression is the bane of many dog owners. Aggressive dogs are sources of tension and fear, and causes social awkwardness that makes it difficult for you to pass owners and their dogs on the street.
Interdog aggression, occurring when a fight between two dogs erupts, is particularly dangerous and leads to the severe injury of both dogs. Separating formidable dogs in a fight takes a great deal of risk and may lead to owners being injured themselves.
Hence, being aware of the signs of interdog aggression is highly necessary. Knowing why dog fights start helps you nip them in the bud.
Warning Signs of Dog Aggression
Recognizing the signs of dog aggression, whether in your own or another dog, allows you to take quick steps to prevent it. A dog communicates with its body and uses it to show his aggressive, negative feelings.
These signs are progressive.
The Rigid Tail
The first one s a rigid, straight tail. An upright tail tells you that the dog is feeling threatened by another dog's presence.
Baring of teeth/ A Snarl
An aggressive dog would also bare his teeth. With his gums pulled back, the teeth and canines are obvious. A snarl is a sign that you should restrain your dog.
The Low Growl
He would also emit a low, menacing growl that shows his desire to get rid of the threat.
The Guttural Bark
His bark, too, would be low, unhappy and fierce. This is a bark he gives to tell the other dog to go away.
He may nip the other dog's neck or tail as a warning. If you still have not removed your dog yet, now is the time to do so.
A nip usually leaves no mark.
The dog slowly gives in to his aggressive feelings and snaps at the other dog.
Progressive biting
The dog begins to bite, with different degrees of severity. Some bites may create enough pressure to bruise the skin. Others cause puncture wounds. Dogs usually aim for the neck and face areas.
As the fighting becomes fiercer, one dog may bite the other repeatedly, in rapid succession. These are quick bites that cause the skin to tear.
Interdog Aggression : Why your dog fights with other dogs
Dogs show these signs of aggression for various reasons. A dog has many grounds for wanting another to go away.
It's Territorial
The first of these is that it is protective and territorial. A dog is a loyal, responsible animal. Its instinct is to protect you and your property. You may not want to discourage such behavior entirely. It is prevalent in livestock guardian dogs like the Great Pyrenees and the Newfoundland,
After all, the duty of dogs is to guard you and your belongings.
A dog may also want to guard its own property. It becomes aggressive when it wants to prevent its food or toys from being taken by another dog. This is otherwise known as territorial aggression.
Experiences Were Not Positive
To add, the dog may have negative experiences. Rescued, abused dogs, in particular, may cower in the corner and snap when anyone tries to touch it.
Frightened that other dogs may hurt or abuse them, they become aggressive and show what is known as fear aggression.
The Dog Was Not Socialized Properly
Further, a dog's previous owner may not have socialized it properly. Lack of socialization is common in rescue dogs. A dog that has little interaction with other dogs and people is insecure around them sees them as threats.
It becomes aggressive and tries to protect itself from perceived intimidation.
Some Dog Breeds Are Prone To More Aggressive Behavior Than Others
Moreover, some breeds are more prone to aggression than others. Dogs bred for fighting, such as mastiffs and pit bulls, are definitely more ferocious than other breeds.
Their inherent tendency for aggression gives them a poor reputation and makes them the subject of negative news reports and publicity.
The Dog May Want To Protect His Status
Another reason for aggression is that the dog wants to stay as the dominant leader of a pack. If he thinks that another dog may oust him, he will defend himself with all his might.
Aggression is a show of dominance.
With knowledge of the telltale signs of dog-to-dog aggression and its causes, you are ready to take steps to stop it before it begins.

Bam Margera Posts A Photo Of Him Holding A Gun To His Puppy's Head, Then Apologizes
It was a fake gun, but the message could not have been worse. He also posted more photos with him holding the gun against human heads, which is also not funny. Now he has apologized for the whole thing.
1. Here are the series of photos he posted to Twitter a few days ago:
13. And the public apology that was stated during an interview at his home:
In Chester County (Pennsylvania), which has seen a number of cases of horrific animal abuse recently, SPCA spokesman Rich Britton called the picture "not funny" and said that, even for a shock comedian, Margera "missed the mark on this one."
In an interview Monday at his Chester County compound - home also to his six cats - Margera said that had he known about the incidents of torture, he never would have posted the photo.
"I think those people need to go down," he said of the abusers. "Just hurting another animal is rude, crude, and more."
Margera said that he doesn't even own a gun, and that the only time he ever fired one was at a clay pigeon at a sporting event.
Still, he said, sometimes a joke is just a joke.
"I feel like every follower I have on Twitter" - more than 800,000 - "knows my Jackass joking kind of humor," he said.

Great stylish chairs
We love these chairs, they were super easy to assemble, and just as beautiful as pictured. The brown color is a purplish brown tone, which looked great with our dark espresso brown walls. The legs appear short, but the height is actually the same as a normal chair. My husband is 6'1" and seats comfortably. The size of the chairs are not are space-consuming as other chairs, so we actually fit five chairs around our round table. LOVE these chairs!

I am a strong conservative and I find it less than amusing to hear our leaders cry about the left blocking people from events because they voiced an opinion which they did not agree with. They call us hypocrites and it seems to be a title we unfortunately deserve.
[7] December 27, 2015 at 1:49am
Anyone can promote anyone but why tell lies while doing so? This statement is ridicules "Marco is a rock solid conservative and a strong leader we can trust". I don't know why anyone would want to tarnish their own reputation but I guess Mr Gowdy has his reasons, so I assume this means a RINO promoting a RINO .

I went to college back in the day when you had to apply yourself to make good grades and attain a degree.
I did not apply myself and received exactly what I should have, I flunked out. Fortunately, after four years in the military, I had a second chance on my own dime, and it is amazing how much smarter I got in those four years. I'm 73 now and it is so refreshing to hear common sense coming out of a university. If others follow suit, there may be hope for our higher education system after all.

It appears that, as long as you are a liberal, you can be President of the USA wether you are a natural born citizen or not.

I can hardly wait until the silent majority finally speaks up and starts casting aside this ridicules PC crap and gets back to common sense. Soon, hopefully, we will also be rid of a President that is intentionally trying to destroy our great nation.

Just another example of our country slipping into the abyss. When you rebel against a police officer, you are in danger of suffering more than you had anticipated. This individual was wrong from the get go and had several chances to do the right thing but defiantly chose not too. The police officer did nothing wrong, but in this society with it's twisted thinking, it would not surprise me if he is punished severely for being in the right.

If Christians don't stand up and push back against those who attack them, then soon Christianity will fade into underground worshiping. Perhaps those who rail against Christianity would prefer sharia law and the limited freedom it provides.

We have enjoyed "The Five" since it's beginning, even with all the liberal nonsense but I'm afraid this time it has gone to far. As usual, we have another liberal that can't debate and so threatens violence. I am 72 years old and would gladly take him up on his offer of violence if I could be forgiven by my fellow conservatives for stooping to his level. Goodbye Five, it was nice until quite recently.

This is what Obama says now "The notion that Congress would defy the overwhelming instinct of the American people after what we saw happen in Newtown, I think is unimaginable," but what did he have to say when he and is goons in a democratic senate and house pushed through a health bill that the American public overwhelmingly was against and that the people who passed it had not then, nor now read it.

Quite nice to use in milk, although not as nice as the chocolate flavour and doesnt taste as strong to me.
Good to Have
Reviewer2129396により May 31, 2011 に掲載
This one tastes fabulous in plain yogurt! A wonderful dessert when mixed with berries and almonds as well. I however do not like it in my coffee or any other item so again this is a flavor that is good to have around for variety but not a staple
Ok, a bit too interesting flavor

Adds a pleasant taste to protein shakes, however, the dropper is finicky, and there is a fine line between just right, and too many drops which cause a very bitter aftertaste.

I was so excited about the variety of flavors Sweet Leaf has to offer, and ordered 5 different flavors including this one. All of them are not sweet enough - I'd say the taste is more like luscious, and when you add some more it turns to real bitter. NuNaturals stevia is limited in flavors, but tastes so much better.

More northern Corn Belt farmers are planting continuous corn, and that means more hard-to-handle residue left in fields. Higher plant populations, better-yielding hybrids, less aggressive tillage and the cold climate – which slows down decay – all increase the mounds of debris.
Iowa grower Jay Johnson recently sold a farm – but he didn't quit farming it. Johnson raises about 2,000 acres of corn and soybeans with his brother Steve at Stratford, IA. In June 2010, Johnson bought a 72.5-acre farm, paying just over $6,100/acre.
Would you pay more cash rent than you had to? John and Jack Scott did. In January, following an excellent year for crop yields and prices, the Gilby, ND, farmers sent a voluntary cash bonus to their landlord, John Botsford, Grand Forks, ND.
The run-up in cash rents prompted two Red River Valley farmers to join forces to stay profitable. Gaylen Affield and Jared Nordick raise corn and soybeans in the rich glacial soils of ancient Lake Agassiz, along the Minnesota-North Dakota border. The Wilkin County, MN, growers also operate two successful farm-related businesses together – a Precision Planting dealership and an excavation service. After both men lost leased cropland to rising cash rents, they teamed up on their farming operations, too.
Does setting cash-rental rates feel a little like playing roulette? Can you guess the winning number? Surging farmland values and volatile crop and input prices are complicating next year's cash-rent decisions – and intensifying risk.
When you're scouting your fields this summer, keep an eye out for ladybugs. If you spot some, pull out your cell phone and snap a quick photo. You'll help entomologists understand what is happening to native ladybugs, and why several formerly abundant species have suddenly become rare.
Allan Armbrecht is using a natural "drain cleaner" to purify tile water. The Colo, IA, farmer and his neighbor installed a 10-acre wetland below several existing tile outlets. The wetland reduces nitrates flowing from 1,100 acres of cropland, keeping pollutants out of the nearby Skunk River. It also provides wildlife habitat; and all without lowering drainage efficiency.
A few years back, Lynn Lagerstedt had a mystery on his hands. The veteran crop consultant was seeing potassium (K) deficiency symptoms in southeastern Minnesota cornfields – even where sufficient potash had been applied. What was going on?
"Rattle! Clank! Whomp!" There's quite a racket coming from Gary Dierks' newly planted soybean field. It's the sound of rocks and corn root balls being pushed down into the soil by a 50-ft. Degelman land roller sweeping over the field. Land rolling is catching on with Upper Midwest soybean growers.
Dan Forgey is a master of mixology. His signature cocktails are blends of grasses, legumes and brassicas. He is agronomy manager for Cronin Farms, an 8,500-acre crop and cow-calf operation in central South Dakota. He grows eight cash crops – including corn, soybeans and wheat – and juggles an equal number of cover crops, which include field peas, oats, turnips, radishes, canola and flax.
Father knows best. That's why – when it comes to selecting soybean varieties – Dick Mahoney gets advice from his son. Dick, 57, farms in west-central Minnesota. His son John, 34, is an agronomist for Centrol Crop Consulting. Dick has been farming for 35 years and has plenty of experience choosing seeds. But the speed of genetic advances makes variety selection increasingly complex, he says. And rising seed costs put more on the line than ever before.

Subject: CM Storm Havoc Gaming Mouse Review
The CM Storm Havoc is an 8200DPI gaming mouse featuring 8 programmable buttons, RGB color options, 128KB of onboard memory, and Japanese Omron Micro Switches. It's priced at $54.99 to compete against the likes of the Razer Deathadder and TT eSports Level 10 M. One thing that really stuck on us throughout our time with the Havoc was the soft-touch finish, now hit our review to see if it doesn't lose its touch as an actual input device.

DVD will not be disappearing this year. There's nothing to worry about being "surprised" about. Regardless of whether HD-DVD was outselling Blu-Ray or vice-versa, they are a drop in the bucket compared to current DVD sales and rentals. It's going to take a lot longer than a year for that to shift significantly. This technology is still sufficiently complex, still sufficiently expensive, and most consumers are not as easily-sold on the benefits of HD>SD as they were for DVD>VHS. Most are perfectly happy with their current 4:3 set, and even if they have an HDTV it was only because they wanted something big and flat, not because they were going high-def now or anytime soon.
You'd be surprised at how many people think that all they need to get "high-def" is to get an HDTV. When it doesn't make their DirecTV and DVDs look 10X better, they decide the whole HD thing is BS and that's what they tell all their friends and family who are on the fence and waiting for their rich early-adopter friends to make the jump first and relate their experiences. I've got one family I've been trying to explain it to for months now and I still don't think they get it.
What people on these boards don't realize is not everyone is as technically-adept (or even give a flying fsck) like they do. As much as high-def might get them all hot and bothered and needing to change their underwear, the majority of consumers are stupid, and have better things to do than blow thousands of dollars on replacing all their AV equipment and video collection just because the Best Buy commercial tells them to.
Blu-Ray is still in its infancy, and they're still dicking with the spec, making many current players obsolete. The dust needs to settle more and Blu-Ray needs to get its act together before it'll really take-off, and that includes having Blu-Ray editions of movies not look worse than the SD DVD versions (that's right, you heard me. Bram Stoker's Dracula is one example). The VHS->DVD transition is still fresh in many consumers' memories and the bar has been raised very high now for that the tipping point will be to get them to adopt and transition yet again. Most consumers still just don't care about high-def. If they did, there wouldn't be so many TV ads. There weren't this many when DVD came out... it sold itself.
And this is coming from an AV nut who is working on his own high-def projection 7.1 home-theater system. I'm just under no illusions about reality and am not letting my own interests skew my perception on how the world works. The fanboys need a reality-check.
