Not sure this belongs in gear lists,
but anyways, I seem to ALWAYS forget my sunglasses as well. I just don't think about it when I am leaving in the early morning from the trailhead.
I have also forgot sunscreen on more than one occasion.Feb 13, 2012 at 2:54 pm #1838998

Tarp (not my sleeping shelter, at least)
water purification (I could boil)
Sleeping bags (car camping so had extra blankets)
Sleeping pad (do-able)
Food (uhhhh…. yeah, no food sux)
And one time I went snow skiing w/out my jacket (luckily it was warm spring day)Feb 13, 2012 at 2:58 pm #1839001

I'm more careful on the trail and this year I've gotten religious about using a checklist. But previously, it was something in repair/sanitation kit (iodine, extra shoelace, mini sunscreen, etc). So I now keep them all in one zippered pounch.
On vacation travel I'm always going somewhere sunny without a hat. So I have an ever-increasing collection of stupid local hats from sunny beaches and toxic-waste sites.Feb 13, 2012 at 3:05 pm #1839003

That's why every single item I take is listed separately on my gear list spreadsheet, and why I print out the list before each trip to use as a checklist.
It really helps me avoid those inevitable "senior moments"!
There was a time a few years ago when I went off without my hiking clothes. They were sitting on the bed beside my pack, but I grabbed the pack and left without noticing the shirt and pants! Since then, they go inside the pack if I am not going directly to the trailhead that day!Feb 13, 2012 at 3:16 pm #1839008

As I sit in the airport on my way to Ca for work and the BPL event next weekend I'm now wondering what I did forget. I literally threw the gear bag in my truck, unpacked from my last trip. What did I forget? Thanks :(Feb 13, 2012 at 3:16 pm #1839009

My worst has been forgetting my shoes and getting out at the trailhead wearing flipflops. Two hours later, after heading into the nearest town, were on our way.
We have a saying: If you forgot it you don't need it. This has proven true for every circumstance but that one.Feb 13, 2012 at 3:53 pm #1839024

"What is the one item you often forget to bring, and later on wish you did?"
Answer: any item that I looked at in my gear closet and thought "I've never needed that on any other hike so why carry it on this one?" Guarenteed – the Trail Gods are watching and busily planning their next not-so-nice surprise for me several days from the trailhead. Try carrying your pack after having stepped on and broken one half of your hip belt buckle. A spare buckle is 1.5 to 2 ounces. (my hip belt doesn't have enough extra length to tie in a knot).
It is far easier to forget something you DID bring along, but then did not repack before you left your last campsite. It's usually the little things that get you – eyeglasses, socks or bandanas left drying on a bush, the spoon you set down on the log at dinner time, etc. I have found a variety of items left in campsites; very expensive water filters, hiking poles, hats, assorted clothing. Wise are they who, having packed up and are now ready and anxious to go, turn around and carefully scan the campsite for anything that may have decided to remain behind. I spent an hour crawling around one site before I finally found my reading glasses in the dust.
It's your money, spend it however you like.Feb 13, 2012 at 3:56 pm #1839026

I have broken the hip belt buckle, but I got along just fine tying the ends of the belt together. There was just barely enough length for a square knot.Feb 13, 2012 at 4:16 pm #1839034

TP. Only happened once, and it was on my workbench right where I had left it before jetting out for the hike.
I did a Mike Clelland with leaves and bummed some off my buddy.
Yep, smooth stones are a no fly for me. :)Feb 13, 2012 at 4:19 pm #1839036

I once spent about 30 minutes looking for my camera before leaving camp. Turns out it was in my pack all along, it just somehow ended up on the wrong side of my pack liner.Feb 13, 2012 at 4:33 pm #1839043

I forgot my truck key on a solo 50mi JMT trip. I thought I lost it on the trail- mind games the whole time. I was in a hurry at Florence lake to catch the boat taxi, I left the key in the door, won't happen again!Feb 13, 2012 at 5:30 pm #1839065

Last trip out to China at 3 in the morning I leave my camera bag behind. Luckily we arrive at the airport early enough for me to trip home and find it there on the living room floor. Then we use the ATM at the Shanghai airport. 3 days later we discover my wife's ATM card has gone missing. We call find out no transactions went down, cancel the card and rely on mine for the duration. That same trip my prescription glasses drop a lens -nice design screws go in upside down . We did the impossible -new glasses in Mandarin / English. Better? Worse? The Same? I must have offended the Travel God.Feb 13, 2012 at 5:52 pm #1839076

For some reason I can't remember we traditionally ask "Did you bring the toilet paper? Did you bring the matches?" before we start the car on every trip. I don't remember why, but both must have been forgotten on some trip in my early backpacking history. No matches can be a real bummer! I now carry some in the cooking gear and in both my first aid kit and my partners.
Other forgetfulness includes:
Forgot my boots once on a trip when I was carrying a traditional non UL pack. I wore my running shoes which helped convince me I could make the transition to trail runners when I took up UL a few years later. Took my wife's cross country boots instead of my own on one trip. Two sizes too small does not make for a pleasant ski camping trip.
A buddy forgot the his zipoff pant legs when he started in shorts. No big deal since he had rain/wind pants to wear in camp.
After bragging about how light their pack was, another buddy discovered he'd left his tent in the trunk of his car. He thought his buddy had it in their pack. No harm done since it was a clear, bugless night.
Someone left the freeze dried chicken out of the packed food on a weeklong trip.
My wife likes to forget her hiking socks. Luckily she has tough feet and with trail runners it's no big deal. Back when we were in heavy boots, it was less comfortable.
Check lists, closed packs, and a last minute run through of the list at the car help.Feb 13, 2012 at 6:50 pm #1839103

Took wife and both kids car camping. Youngest was not yet one.
Diaper-changing time arrives, as expected. Wife wades into the job and asks me for the diaper bag. I politely ask where she packed it. SILENCE. "I thought you packed it" was her reply.
"No, diaper bags are your job; camping gear mine." Went over like lead balloon.
Bottom line – pun intended – our daughter got potty-trained in the state park.Feb 13, 2012 at 7:04 pm #1839109

Bob: Wasn't our fault (it was Alaska Airlines') but we ended up in a bear-infested camprgound (Brooks Camp, Katmai National Park) with 5 month-old, two diapers in the carry-on, no sleeping bags, and no tent. The Park Service and other campers are very helpful in such a situation. The next jet arrived before we resorted to using shorgum moss.
Early on, my wife and I would each assume the other (a very competent traveler and BPer) would have some little thing – flashlight, wallet, etc. – and not sweat it. Too often we'd each skip the same thing.Feb 13, 2012 at 7:07 pm #1839113

@climberslackerLocale: Your guess is as good as mine.
Forgot my tent this weekend. Luckily I realized it before I got my permit and hit the trail, but too late to turn around.
I still got a quasi-backpacking trip out of it! Even though I only had a day permit!Feb 13, 2012 at 8:17 pm #1839140

Went up to Mt. Rainier to ostensibly get a new National Parks pass and just go for a short hike. Well, it was a great day for early March (cold but clear) so I grab my pack from the backseat and start hiking up from Paradise toward Camp Muir. The day gets later and later and by the time I turn around, it's getting dark. No problem. I reach into the pack for my headlamp and…wrong pack.I have a busted laptop in this bag and a t-shirt. Jacket is back in other pack in the car, along with gloves…got lost coming down for trying to take a shortcut (STUPID) and end up getting really turned around. Had it not been for a cell phone, a ranger turning on her floodlight, I would have walked the wrong way. Was I turned around. Moral of the story: if you have two identical day packs, make sure you identify the one for hiking and the one for work.
Remember kids, it ain't the first mistake you make, it's all the subsequent mistakes that really add up.

First time: I was young, and my dad and I were going on one of our early trips, five days on Isle Royale National Park. We lived in southeastern Michigan and drove the whole way to Houghton. When we were unpacking the truck to get into the motel late at night after the drive, I realized my boots were sitting next to the door at home, placed there so I wouldn't forget them. Dad was kind enough to buy me new boots, but of course I got mad blisters and it seriously cut into our itinerary.
Another time: I bought a synthetic belt (instead of leather) with the intent on using it both around town and backpacking. I fell into the habit that one pair of pants got one belt, another got a different for a couple days. I wore the jeans with the leather belt to Glacier NP, thinking I had packed my "backpacking" belt to change into when the time came along with hiking pants. Nope; had to wear the leather belt the whole trip, and I sweated enough that the leather stretched and I ruined the belt. Not a big deal, and if hiking pants were made in my size would have never happened.
Now I just wear whatever I'm going to hike in when I leave the house, whether it's a dayhike or a week-long trip.

text: Cedar Rapids Gazette (Newspaper) - February 18, 1974, Cedar Rapids, Iowa For the Finest in Points Tile Cedar Rapids Gazette: Mon Fumes Fatal To 11 linois Family of 5 DAVENPORT (UPI) - The bodies of five members of a Springfield, 111., family were found dead of carbon monoxide poisoning Sunday in their car here after visiting friends over the weekend. Police said Frank Hines, 41, and his wife, Frita, 26, and their three children were found in their 1967 car, which they just bought in Springfield before departing for Davenport. Police said the Hines left the Eugene Rogers home about I a m. Sunday but were not found until Sunday afternoon by Rogers who said he found them in an alley behind his house in the car with the motor running. The children were identified by a spokesman for the Scott county medical examiner's office as Susie, 3, and twin boys Michael and Matthew, 7 months. The car had a defective muffler, police said, which probably caused the poisonous gas to seep into the car. "It's just the track," says Ralph L. Pilger, Iowa superintendent of railroad safety and service. "It gets worse and worse every year, so we have more accidents every year. "They (derailments) just keep going up every year even though the total number of trains running in Iowa gets lower and lower," Pilger said. Pilger said the derailment today is the highest in his four years at the commission. He said because the derailment records are retained only five years, he does not know if it is ihe highest figure ever. No Hope Pilger said there is no hope for improvement in the derailment situation in Iowa until the state decides to participate in the federal railroad safety program. Under the terms of the Federal Railroad Safety Act, state and federal governments share equally the costs of railroad safety inspections. A bill that would authorize Iowa's participation in the program has been introduced in the Iowa legislature. Reward Offered For Information On Drug Pushers NEW HAMPTON {UPI) — A New Hampton service club is offering a $250 reward for information on drug pushers operating in the northeast Iowa community. The Rotary club of New Hampton heard a speech on drug abuse by police officer Jim Burton and decided to reward informants. Burton said it is difficult to get good informants in a town of 3.900 people like New Hampton, and thinks the reward will help. The local police force has raided two area homes recently lor drugs, including one last Saturday where 52 people were arrested. Only two were held for possession with intention to delver, and Burton said. "We're after the pushers — the guys w'ho are making a big profit at everyone else's expense." The officer said the typical informer is often a friend of the drug user and wants to protect lim, who wants a favor instead of money from the police, and who is often a drug user himself. The Rotary club is asking informers to send their information by mail under a code name and accompanying six-digit number. If their tip convicts a drug pusher, the number will be printed in the local newspaper and the informer can claim his reward at the post office under | the code name. —Gazette photos bv Duane Crock Walking the dog may be old hat as these pictures, taken recently in Iowa City's City park, indicate.

Mass Searches Are Ruled Unconstitutional DES MOINES (UPI) - Polk County District Court Judge Anthony Critelli ruled Saturday that it is unconstitutional to conduct mas® searches of patrons of rock concerts at Veterans Memorial auditorium. In the weekend ruling Critelli said only the mass searches done at the entrance of the building are unconstitutional but he did not rule out searches inside or outside of the auditorium. Considerable controversy has generated in recent months over the rock concerts at Vets auditorium where marijuana and wine sometimes reportedly are taken into the building and consumed during the shows. By Harrison Weber Iowa Daily Press Assn. DES MOINES — Terrace Hill, the Victorian mansion that has been donated to the state, is in need of some emergency repairs. Stanley McCausland, director! of the state's general services department, reports that the roof of the 105-year-old mansion1 is leaking and needs to be replaced. He estimates it will cost $52,000 with the federal government possibly paying $18,000 since the mansion has been cer-j tified as an historic landmark. McCausland said the roof is leaking in two spots, causing the plaster to crumble on the second floor on both the southeast and west sides of the stately! mansion. The home was donated to the state in 1971 by the heirs of Frederick M. Hubbell. The Hubbell heirs left the decision on the use of Terrace Hill to the Iowa legislature; it has been suggested by many individuals and groups that it be used as a governor's mansion. McCausland said he will ask the state executive council to authorize the expenditure of $34,000 to match federal funds for repairing the roof.

A family home: convenient, comfy, and designed for the whole family
We absolutely love it here! We live right next to the river Thames so we can visit the ducks, watch the boats & rowers or walk along to the lock for an ice cream any time we fancy it especially during the summer months! We have 2 friendly local small convenient shops as well as a wonderful large grassy, tree filled park with a fenced kids play area, activity centre and a miniature steam railway which adults & kids can ride for around 50p!!! There is a large shopping centre a mere 15 minute walk away within the bustling town centre which has plenty of pubs, restaurants, department stores, a huge cinema and weekly popular market days.
Another massive bonus is that our train station is on the direct train line in to central London so after just a 15 minute walk or 3 minute drive to the train station, you can hop on board to a 30 minute commute in to the bright lights of London to see the sights or take in a show!

Daily Summary on USD, EUR, JPY, GBP, AUD, CAD and NZD
• US releases better than expected goods orders data
• Euro strengthens with upbeat German data release
• BoJ pumps 2 trillion yen in bonds leading the JPY to climb
USD – The US dollar weakened against most of the majors except the pound sterling and the commodity currencies but remained strong with positive US data. Durable goods orders increased 3.3% in April, better than the forecasted 1.5%. The demand in the factory sector, excluding aircraft and military goods which helps measure business spending plans, advanced 1.2%. Aircraft orders climbed 18.1% in April following a 43% slump in March. Equities are lower for the 3rd straight day as surprising gains in durable goods orders fueled concern about the pace of stimulus efforts. Market participants are still reflecting on Fed Chairman Bernanke's statement to possibly scale back the pace of asset purchasing if economic conditions improve.
EUR – The euro climbed against the USD following an upbeat data release suggesting that Europe's largest economy may be picking up. Surveys from Germany showed that the business climate index rose 105.7 in May from 104.4 in April. This prompted German bond futures to pare gains and sent the euro to a session high. Also helping the euro was a consumer sentiment indicator that rose for the 6th straight month to 6.5 going into June, up from 6.2 in May. Recent pay hikes in Germany have German consumers feeling more inclined to spend since September 2007, during the subprime crisis, boosting hopes that Germany may be recovering and a brighter outlook in the euro zone.
GBP – The sterling fell against the US dollar after poor data releases raised prospects of more policy easing by the BoE. The British Bankers' Association reported that mortgage approvals rose by 32,200 in April, less than the expected 32,700 increase, after a 31,400 rise the previous month. The currency remains vulnerable on the possibility that incoming BoE Governor Carney could push forth more monetary stimulus which would lead to a weaker pound. With UK markets closed on Monday and little data next week, strategists say the pound will remain relatively range bound.
JPY – The Japanese yen climbed to a session high above the 101 level against the USD after the BoJ pumped 2 trillion yen into the financial system yesterday to counteract the rise in bond yields. BoJ Kuroda reiterated that to avoid excessive volatility in the debt market, that bond trading will need to be stabilized with flexible BoJ operations. Yesterday, the 10-year government bond yield reached its highest level in a year while Kuroda mentioned that he will keep strengthening communication with the market and that the unprecedented stimulus announced by the BoJ is sufficient. The 10-year bond yields were at 0.845% after touching a 1-year high of 1% yesterday. Japanese stock futures rose after the Nikkei index plunged 7.3% yesterday, its largest drop in 2 years, indicating the market may rebound.
Commodity Currencies – The Canadian dollar weakened against the USD with a weaker global equity market and commodities. Canada's biggest export, oil, has declined for the 2nd day with signs that US inventories and the global economy is slowing down. Commodity prices continue to drop causing the CAD to fall 1% this week. The New Zealand and the Australian dollar weakened against the US dollar while concerns remain about the recovery of China, its key export market. Prices of commodities also weigh on the antipodean currencies with gold falling for the 3rd time in 4 days. In addition, the rebound of the US economy to possibly scale back its monetary stimulus is diminishing the appeal of precious metals

Hi all,
Been on and off these forums for, i think, about the last ten years. I still don't have a regular habit due to extreme laziness. Unfortunately this means that I have now hit the big 40 and am 2 stone overweight, I think I have to stop being lazy.
The problem is that i tried to start a couch to 5k program but after I completed the first session I had a huge pain in my right upper butt cheek (for want of a better description} I went for a walk today as I thought i had just started too hard the last time, I was still sore in the same place when i got back. I also noticed that the ouside of my right trainer under the ball of my foot is more worn than the rest. I wear motion control shoes as i have flat feet.
Can anyone help? I am totally ready to get started but don't want to create a major injury.
Thanks in advance
Start reaaaaaalllly slowly. Walk a bit as a warm up, then run really slowly, before finishing with a walk to warm down.
Possibly piriformis- look upsome stretches, and try rolling the sore bit on s faom roller or tennis ball.
And consider new shoes - it you're noticing wear it might be time to replace them.

Residents of the North Judson-San Pierre School District will have a chance to publicly weigh in on whether the school board should be elected or appointed. The corporation has scheduled a public meeting on Monday, Sept. 12 at 7 p.m. in the N.J.-S.P. High School auditorium for the sole purpose of seeking input on the topic.
Superintendent Dr. Annette Zupin says a neutral moderator will facilitate the meeting so board members can listen intently to the comments and not be distracted by keeping time, calling on speakers or responding to comments. She says the moderator will help assure the meeting is productive and effective.
Each person who wishes to speak will sign up ahead of time on a clipboard at the auditorium entrance. Each speaker will have a maximum of three minutes to speak and may only speak once. At the conclusion of the public statements, the pro-appointed and pro-elected positions may each have a representative make a summary statement lasting no more than five minutes.
The school board is also gathering public opinions about whether the school board should be appointed or elected via online survey, available at N.J.-S.P. Community School Board Input Survey.
The board will announce at their regularly scheduled Sept. 20 meeting whether they favor transitioning to an elected board or maintaining the appointed status quo. Should they opt for the latter, supporters of an elected board have advised they plan to proceed with a petition to bring the question to voters.

Go for the Gold at Como's ZoOlympics!
The last time Como Zoo did a ZoOlympics it was for the Summer Olympics and in July. This weekend, they will help us get in the spirit for the Winter Olympics with kid-friendly, animal-themed activities. "Can you run as fast as a cheetah? Jump as far as a cougar? If animals were competing in the Olympics, who would take home the gold?"
Your kids can test their abilities against the best with activities including:
- Archer Fish Accuracy Station – Archer fish spit water at unsuspecting prey sitting on branches and leaves above the water. The stream of water they shoot out of their mouth can hit a bug 5 feet away! Kids can test their accuracy using our fun marshmallow shooters to try and hit a bull's eye.
- Long Jump – Cougars are extremely agile jumpers. Their relatively long hind limbs help them jump horizontal distances close to 30 feet. This fun long jump compares the distance you can jump to animals. Can you jump 2 feet like a grasshopper? Or 8 feet like a squirrel can?
- Speed Station – Cheetahs are the fastest animal on 4 legs, running up to 70 mph! Participants will be timed as they run 20 feet, the time will be converted to mph and see how they compare to a cheetah.

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - October 20, 2000, New Braunfels, Texas Friday, October 20, 2000 — Herald-Zeitung — Page 3ATABC/From 1A commission generally "rubber stamps" these kinds of requests and there was no problem with New Braunfels trying to approach a ban in this manner. "I'm very disappointed with this letter," Akers said. "It's not like we Entered into this thing lightly." He continued later, "I certainly believed we had a chance of doing it, especially after Mr. Bright assured us that we could do it. We didn't go into it willy nilly. "I went straight to the horse's mouth.... He said do it. They're rubber-stamped basically. Now that it's gotten some attention, they're not so rubber-stamped anymore." Local reaction News of the recommendation caused different reactions throughout the community Thursday. Paul Rich, who operates Mountain Breeze river outfitters, said he was pleased with the news Thursday. Rich is a member of the Water Oriented Recreation District and president of Tourists Associated Businesses, an organization of about 60 local businesses. The group has retained a lawyer to help fight the ban. "I'm very happy about (the recommendation)," Rich said. "I believe the city will still try to go through with it, but again, I think they should have checked this out before they went ahead and went through the process." Kathleen Krueger, who helped lead efforts to enact the ban, said she remained hopeful that the commission still will enact the ban. "This is one interpretation by one lawyer," she said. "I know the city will make its presentation Monday and argue forcibly that the area in question is a central business district." New Braunfels is better equipped to determine what the central business district is than an attorney who does not live and work in this city, Krueger said. # "I respect his judgment, but I think that those of us who work and livp,(iefe Jjay.e a clearer understanding of what needs to be done," she said. The history Earlier this year, Councilman Robert Kendrick asked city staff to draft an ordinance to ban alcohol in a central river business district. The city said from the beginning * that the ban could not be enacted without approval by the commission. The ordinance was proposed under a portion of the state's alcohol laws that allow cities to establish a central business district and ask the commission to prohibit possession of open alcoholic beverage containers and public consumption of alcohol within the district. The district was proposed to include the Guadalupe River between the Gruene Road and Faust Street bridges and on the Comal River from the Landa Park Drive bridge to the river's confluence with the Guadalupe. Council voted to delay consideration of the alcohol ban ordinance. That prompted a petition drive by residents to place the issue on the November ballot. The group, led by Krueger and Betty Dunkin, successfully obtained enough signatures to have the item placed on the ballot. However, the council instead voted unanimously to approve the ordinance on which it previously delayed action. That triggered the city's request for the commission to approve the ban. Bright's advice Bright said the city's request is the first of its kind. "The law defines a central business district as a "compact and contiguous geographical area of a municipality in which at least 90 percent of the land is used or zoned for commercial purposes and that is the area that has historically been the primary location in the municipality where business has been transacted." Bright's decision to advise the commission that it does not have the authority to grant New Braunfels' request centers on that definition. "The only question I believe my clients are authorized to consider is whether the area designated by the city complies with the definition of a central business district," Bright's letter states. His letter states that he cannot believe that the portions of the river in question are used primarily for commercial purposes. He said he recognizes that many people travel down the rivers on rented boats or inner tubes — sometimes with commercial guides. "I believe that these rivers are used for recreational purposes, and the use of rented equipment, or even the payment of a fee to use a portion of the bank, does not change these purposes," Bright said in his letter. "I reached this belief through several analogies. "One may certainly rent a car to travel over public highways on vacation. That would not, in my view, become a 'commercial' use of the highway. Similarly, many of our public parks impose entry fees. We do not conclude from this that the citizens using those parks are engaged in commercial activities." Bright's letter also said the law requires that the district be the primary location where business is transacted, not the location where the "city's primary business is." "I believe that in New Braunfels, like other cities, this will be an area marked by its collection of stores, offices and similar enterprises," he said. Bright also said a fair argument could be made that the proposed central business district is not compact and contiguous as required by law. "For example, in the context of gerrymandered voting districts, the Supreme Court has held that a district following the contours of an interstate highway was not compact and contiguous," Bright said, referring to a specific case named Shaw v. Reno. "I do not, however, take the Shaw case as authority for a legal definition of the term but, rather, as providing evidence that what is or is not 'compact and contiguous' lies largely in the eye of the beholder. This is simply too subjective a ground on which to base my advice, at least in this case." Akers disagreed. "It's all connected," he said. "The river is no more than 30 yards wide at its widest point." The city's proposed business district is about 95 acres, compared w ith another city Akers cited that established a 246-acre district through the TABC. "That doesn't sound very compact to me," he said. Bright's letter also states that he does not believe the proposed district meets a requirement in the law for at least 90 percent of the land to be used or zoned for commercial purposes. "I do not believe that municipal zones extend into the bed of the river owned by the state," Bright's letter states. "Even if I am wrong in this, those portions of the land lying along the designated portions of the Guadalupe sftid Comal that are zoned for commercial purposes do not constitute 90 percent of the whole." However, Akers said the city's 1999 Master Plan states that 60 to 70 percent of the city's sales tax revenues are generated by tourism. "If commercial activity is not taking place on those rivers, how are we getting 60 to 70 percent of our sales tax from tourism?" he asked. Akers questioned where else New Braunfels' central location for business would be — Home Depot, Gruene, historic downtown or the RIVER/From 1A Michael Meek, president of the Greater New Braunfels Chamber of Commerce, said the formation of the river committee was critical in light of Bright's recommendation. "Now it looks like this committee is going to be even more important than ever," Meek said. The committee on Thursday selected Kevin Webb, who works for Rockin' R River Rides, as chairman and Ken Valentine, a retiree, as vice chairman of the committee. The committee set the top three Obituaries priorities it wants to address: increasing police and law enforcement on the rivers; litter control; and the last public exit, crowds, shuttles and parks. The group will meet again at 6 p.m. Wednesday in the municipal building, 424 S. Casted Ave. SHIRLEY Bernice Virginia Shurley, passed away in New Braunfels on October 16, 2000 from complication following a major stroke. Mrs. Shurley was born March 14, 1914 in Galveston, Texas, the second daughter of Nels and Sigrid Nelson. She was a graduate of Ball High School and Draughon's Business College.

"Who is in the better position to determine that, us or the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission?" Akers said. Also, Akers pointed to a portion of the law that says the alcohol prohibition cannot extend into motor vehicles, buildings not owned or controlled by the municipality, residential structures or licensed premises. "That leaves you the street and the sidewalks," he said. No money is exchanged on the streets and sidewalks, he said, likening that to the fact that money is not actually exchanged on the river. City questions The city had questions about whether it could establish a central business district on the rivers, Akers explained. But that is why city officials talked with Bright, he said. "We knew it would be a unique application, to do it on our rivers," Akers said. "That's why we checked into it ahead of time with their attorney." Kendrick also said he had talked with Bright, and Bright had pointed the city toward the ban. Bright said he does not doubt that conversation took place because he has many conversations like that. In his experience, the commission deliberates little on these types of requests. "The definition of a central business district is pretty broad, but it is a definition with parameters," Bright said. The commission has considered numerous requests for alcohol bans in central business districts, but none on a river or or water, he said. Bright said this is the first time he has ever advised that the commission cannot approve a request. The commission does not have to follow his advice. "They exercise their own judgment and they are careful to do that," Bright said. "There is never any doubt about the fact that the staff members ... make recommendations and the board makes decisions."

The city plans to try to convince the commission to go against the advice of its attorneys. Akers said the city has prepared a video to show to the commission. "Monday, we're going to put our best foot forward," he said. "We're going to try to refute the argument made by their counsel, try to convince the commissioners, who don't have to follow the advice of their attorneys, that we do in fact have a central business district. It is our rivers." And he said the city has serious problems on its rivers. Now the city is looking to the commission.to rec ognize that the city has a problem and help fix it. If the commission follows Bright's advice Monday, and does not implement the ban, the city's proposed ordinance dies, Akers said. That would leave the city only a couple of other options. It could call an election to consider banning alcohol in the entire city, Akers said. Or the city could go to one of its representatives in the state Legislature and lobby for a new law that allows cities to prohibit alcohol on state waterways that run through cities.

I'm Jewish and although I'm not very observant, Jewish traditions and values are important to me and are something I want to keep learning more about and pass on to my children so I am only interested in meeting Jewish men.
I love animals and rode horses competitively for five years. Some other things that I love and make me happy are cuddling, spending time with friends and family, music, opera, Broadway, dancing, meeting new people, working with my students and watching the light bulb go on in their head when they "get it". Some of the things I'm not crazy about are tattoos or body piercings (eeeww!), rude or mean-spirited people and those who think the world revolves around them and aren't willing to do anything to improve this little ball of dirt we all live on.
I like assertive men, so if you're a down-to-earth mensch who's looking for a real relationship, I would love to hear from you. After all, the majority of the profiles you read are "good on paper", but there's nothing like actually meeting to see if you click.
When I'm not learning or teaching, I let off steam at the gym. Music is a big part of my life and a night at Lincoln Center or on Broadway is always at the top of my to do list. I enjoy doing a lot of different things, from going to street fairs. to attending lectures to visiting museums and everything in between. Currently taking dance lessons in salsa, bachata and rueda & could use a partner - are you up for it? ;-)

Notes From the Cutting Room Floor Op. 1
posted by Tom Moon on August 18, 2008 at 3:41 am
in Aram Khachaturin, William Kapell, Boston Symphony Orchestra, Serge Koussevitzky, classical piano, Prokofiev's Concerto No. 3
Researching 1000 Recordings To Hear Before You Die, I encountered many more than 1000 breathtaking pieces of music. That meant painful decisions, and what some will consider outrageous omissions. Along the way I kept a list of works that, for various reasons, ended up on the cutting room floor. In the coming weeks, I'll post thoughts about some of these tremendous recordings here, starting with Aram Khachaturian's Piano Concerto.
Armenian composer Aram Khachaturian (1903-1978) is mostly known for his pulse-quickening ballet scores – his most famous piece, "Sabre Dance" from the ballet Gayaneh, is a series of jousting-match volleys that rush around at the dizzyingly pace of a cartoon chase scene.
Khachaturian composed for the concert hall as well, and this Piano Concerto is among his most vibrant works. Its opening movement exhibits (and at times seems overtaken by) a sense of frenzy – there are extravagant scale-like runs that require the pianist to gallop across several octaves, and moments when the piano lines are answered by crusading melodies coming from all corners of the orchestra. The showy aspects may explain why critics were cool to the work upon its debut – one described it as a "harmless enough piece" but complained that it was loaded with sound effects.
Still, hearing the American pianist William Kapell play the Khachaturian with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, I'm struck by the composer's balance of whiplash-inducing extroversion and brooding, often disarmingly poignant melodies. Khachaturian is associated with the romantic wing of Russian composition, and that dimension of his art is obvious here – bits of the heavy-hearted Russian soul peek through the elaborate development passages of the second movement, and also in the twisty-road counterlines of the third. Kapell is clearly the equal of the piece's thundering peaks and obstacle-course challenges – according to legend, he learned this difficult piece in a week. But he's always listening for the more deliberative and rhapsodic stuff, and in those moments, he argues that Khachaturian was a more complex musical creature than his critics maybe knew.
Collector's Note: The Kapell Edition reissue pairs the Khachaturian with a sparkling rendition of Prokofiev's Concerto No. 3 featuring Kapell with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra conducted by Antal Dorati.

#1 from Jeff Reed, Denton, Texas - 08/19/2008 10:32
I have a question for Mr. Moon. Did you ever consider any of Incubus' recordings? If so, which ones? If not, why not? I am a big fan of Incubus.
#2 from Tom Moon - 08/21/2008 4:20
I always thought of Incubus as a great live band, and was surprised during the research when I listened to Morning View—for me that's when the band nails down the concept….they begin using counterlines, really wide harmonies, etc. think that album shows the most range, too—the downtempo and quieter stuff is great.
dunno if you're a Sepultura fan but Roots (1000 Recordings, pg. 689)is similarly musical….not quite the same neighborhood but by no means a galaxy away…
#3 from Matt, new york - 08/24/2008 11:56
Thanks for the book—as far as I know, such a list undertaking (inclusive of all genres) has not been done, and I'm using the book to broaden my experience with genres that I'm not all that familiar with. A directory with so much data is unlikely to make it through the editing process without any errors, and after scanning it earlier today I did find a fairly big one: Santana's album is called "Abraxas," not "Abraxis."
This book will most likely be purchased by people who are very passionate about their music and people who are passionate about their music will be the most likely to be irritated by certain exclusions; all part of the process, I suppose, although I did think that the rock and jazz picks weren't all that great. When they weren't boring and/or predictable, they could be somewhat stupefying. Just a few of many examples:
Of all John Coltrane's amazing albums, the non Love Supreme picks were Blue Train (a very solid album that is nevertheless from Coltrane's less creative period and vastly overrated by virtue of it being his only Blue Note session) and the pairing with vocalist Johnny Hartman, a fine record that, when compared to groundbreaking masterpieces like Giant Steps (or virtually anything from his Atlantic period) is really more a curiosity than an essential purchase. The Unique Thelonious Monk is likewise a head-scratcher, especially as it was the only representative from Monk's stellar Riverside recordings and I've never seen it (before today) considered one of the superior titles in that great run. The Miles Davis picks were kind of bland; Milestones would have been a more interesting inclusion than Kind of Blue (which is often wrongly categorized as Davis' first foray into modality—he did it on Milestones first), and Davis entire studio output with his groundbreaking '60s quintet was ignored. Kudos, however, to acknowledging the greatness of Phineas Newborn, Jimmy Giuffre, Lenny Tristano, Paul Bley and other great who often get left out in a discussion of great jazz albums.
I wouldn't want to call the rock picks a *disaster* of predictability, as no book making the outrageous assertion that "A case can be made for Fleetwood Mac as the most important band in rock history" could possibly be accused of blindly following general consensus, but… hell, large stretches of these selections could have just been copied verbatim from any random Top 100 of all time list made by such cutting edge purveyors of taste as Rolling Stone or VH1. I would have thought that a list of "must hear before you die" recordings might minimize (or, better yet, bypass altogether) the stuff that 95% of the people reading the book have already heard. To that end, plugs for Sgt. Peppers or Born to Run are neither necessary nor helpful, whereas one for Magma or Soft Machine may have been. Including only one album by Frank Zappa is dubious, but making that one album one of his many 1988 live albums leaves one almost speechless. Has the author not even heard the albums by the orignal Mothers of Invention? Good call on including Eno/Byrne's great proto-techno My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts, though.
Lastly, it's a cheap but necessary shot: a boring, derivative album of 3rd generation ska by airheads No Doubt and a lame sophomore album by Fionna Apple are being trumpted as being more more worthy of our time than The Firebird Suite? Than anything written by Anton Webern? Than John Coltrane's entire series of Atlantic recordings? No, no and no again.

Matt…thanks for taking the time to write!
I won't go point by point now in responding, but intend to someday. Hopefully we'll build a lively discussion here that will continue long enough for folks to exchange ideas in some depth – particularly on such artists as Frank Zappa, whose work is perpetually misunderstood.
There are no absolute answers where music is concerned. There is, though, a general point regarding your comment about the predictability of the rock choices I'd like to make. I approached this project expecting (hoping, too) that at least part of the audience would be newbies – people in the beginning stages of exploration, who missed the CD era and maybe aren't up to speed on the last few Rolling Stone uber-lists. Not folks who've dissected those lists, or people who are already music-obsessed and therefore have done some deep drilling. To me it seemed almost impossible – and a profound disservice – to not include Sgt. Pepper or other things you'd consider "no brainers." Far from being "pointless" inclusions, these serve as towering landmarks, primary texts. People with far more astute understanding of music than I have studied them, and drawn inspiration from them, and many have gone on to create great works themselves. Sure, as critics and listeners we are bombarded with lists, to the point where there now exists almost a consensus "canon" of essential rock listening. That doesn't mean we can ignore those titles. I'd argue that's all the more reason to talk about them, as best we can. Take them apart. Relearn their lessons. Play them for our children.
As for No Doubt vs. Anton Webern (or John Coltrane on Atlantic or whatever): This isn't a cage match. It's all good. The mission was diversity – to find great music from all over, music that works for meditation and music that works when it's party time. It was impossible to represent everything, and I didn't want every single entry to be the audio equivalent of codliver oil. There had to be room for the mindless groove and the thoughtful story-song and everything in between.
Thanks again,
Tom Moon
PS: Re Monk: Have you heard The Unique lately? I'd argue it demonstrates Monk's rhythm concept more vividly than the much beloved Brilliant Corners (which is mentioned several times in the book) or any of the other vaunted Riverside titles. The Monk choices had to do two things: Represent his trailblazing approach to the piano and improvisation, and also represent his incredible compositions, which remain an undervalued contribution to 20th century music. I went with the 1957 Carnegie Hall concert with Coltrane because it contains many of Monk's greatest pieces, and shows a seriously unified group exhausting the possibilities of the tunes. When I went through Monk's catalog, I was stunned by The Unique. It features Art Blakey on drums, and the spirited push-pull dynamic between the two of them captures the essence of Monk's methodology – the pianist is swinging differently than he does when working with the (more forgiving) drummers of his regular group. He's getting pushed by the taskmaster, and winds up reconnecting with the Minton's spark and fidgeting toward something new and modern at the same time.

Dear Tom,
I heard you on NPR the other day. The next day while at work I checked at Amazon.com and took a peek inside to book and saw that you had in fact included a Santana album on your list. How exciting! I ordered the book for our archive and was surprised to see that you had misspelled the name of the album, Abraxas.
I also saw Matt's posting in which he mentioned it as well and your answer contained to acknowledgement of the misspelling so I thought that I would go ahead and send in a posting about it as well.
Thank you for the book and for including Carlos.
Santana Management
#6 from Tom Moon - 09/03/2008 4:16
Thanks for writing and my apologies for not responding sooner.
I am embarrassed by the misspelling of Abraxas. I know the album well, and in the course of preparing the book, I read the page containing that entry at least six times. I still can't quite figure out how that escaped me.
As Matt and other correspondents have noted, errors are inevitable in a book of this size. Still, that's no excuse. We have corrected the error throughout the online version of the entry
(it's here:
and if we're fortunate enough to have subsequent printings, we will correct it for those.
Thank you for your understanding.
Tom Moon

Kudos for undertaking such a large and daunting concept. I have not read the book only skimmed through your website although I anticipate when I finally have a chance to sit and enjoy. However, I would like to question why you did not go further into some categories or genres. Specifically focusing on electronica, I feel you have left out some key arguments and sub-categories of the genre. If you have the time please listen to Boards of Canada, Bonobo, and Fourtet and let me know what you think. I truly believe they are pioneers of this category and really deserve a mention.
Congratulations on your success,
Josh Adams
#8 from Tom Moon - 09/06/2008 3:57
Thanks for your comment. I'm totally with you on Boards of Canada. sometime in the next few months I'll post thoughts on "Music Has the Right To Children," which is for me their most thrilling work. I wrote an entry on it for the book and didn't quite make the case that the album needed. I look forward to hearing it again…it's one of those totally absorbing listening experiences.

UW-Whitewater battles back to win
Dig out of 8-run hole
Whitewater - The top-seeded Warhawks of UW-Whitewater matched their season total for home losses - one - with a listless performance against fourth-seeded UW-La Crosse in the opener of the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference baseball tournament.
Just a few hours later in an elimination game against UW-Oshkosh Saturday afternoon, the host Warhawks faced an eight-run deficit after two innings.
Bleak doesn't begin to describe the mood in the Whitewater dugout.
"A lot of frustration," Whitewater coach John Vodenlich said. "I'm proud how after going down, 8-0, they mentally stayed in the game and chipped away at it. As it turns out they did better than chip away."
With junior left-hander Justin Mortensen silencing the Oshkosh hitters and junior centerfielder Dylan Friend pounding the Oshkosh pitchers, the Warhawks rallied for a 17-9 victory to remain alive in the double-elimination tournament.
Whitewater (34-6) gets a rematch with La Crosse (19-20) at 10 a.m. Sunday in another elimination game. The Eagles suffered a 6-3 loss to second-seeded UW-Stevens Point Saturday night. The Pointers (34-8), who rallied for a 10-8 victory over Oshkosh earlier Saturday, advanced to the 1 p.m. title game.
Mortensen, from Arrowhead High School, came on in the second inning after starter Tom Kerndt and reliever Matt Roberts combined to allow eight runs on seven hits.
After pitching a total of 14 innings in eight appearances during the regular season, Mortensen (1-0) allowed just three hits and struck out five in seven scoreless innings.
"You've got to throw strikes and fill it up," Mortensen said. "I have a lot of faith in my team that they're going to pick me up and score some runs once we get some momentum."
Catcher Casey Power woke the Whitewater bats, which produced only two singles in a 6-0 loss to La Crosse in the opener. Power's two-run double in the fourth cut the deficit to 8-2, and the Warhawks added 15 runs over the next four innings.
Friend, from Burlington High School, finished 5 for 6 with six RBI and four runs scored. He hit a two-run homer in the four-run fifth, added a solo homer in the sixth, drove in the go-ahead runs with a two-run single in the seventh and added an RBI single in the eighth.
"They put it in the zone, and I was ready to jump on it," said Friend, who entered the day hitting .370. "It was just one of those days where you feel good at the plate."
The Whitewater hitters looked sickly at the plate in the loss to La Crosse as right-hander Tim Verthein fashioned the most impressive pitching performance of the day.
Verthein had allowed eight runs, two earned, and 12 hits in seven innings in an 11-8 loss to Whitewater on April 28. He entered Saturday 3-6 with a 4.41 ERA.
Verthein relied heavily on off-speed pitches to shut down Whitewater, No. 3 among Division III teams in hitting at .352. He struck out seven, walked two and got 15 outs on grounders.
"They are so aggressive," Verthein said. "They try to pull everything. Not to take away anything from their hitters, but that is something we broke down before the game.
"They are trying to pull that outside slider and that just results in roll-overs and grounders - if you can locate the pitch."

So sweet and luscious were the tunes in Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow? (Radio 4), a look at the girl groups of the 50s and 60s, that the programme would have been a winner with just a selection of tracks played back to back. I'm not sure that Pete Waterman's contributions ("probably the greatest teenage love song of all time") added much, but Tracy McLeod's narration did, with her strict tone underlining the fact that this music matters. It was a relief that a more showbiz presenter wasn't used.
Waterman aside, it was noticeable that this was mainly women - the writer and musician Charlotte Greig, and members of the girl groups - talking about music. Maybe because of this, the focus was different, and the comments more intimate than you get on standard music documentaries. I liked one of the Ronettes recalling how, when they toured with the Rolling Stones, she watched in disbelief as the headline band went on stage. "I remember thinking, they're not getting changed," she said. "They're going out like that?" She had spent hours getting ready, and perfecting the Ronette beehive. "It wasn't just a beehive," she explained. "It was the beehive with the ponytail down one side."

Singularity StateMature
Michael was dressed in a pressure suit and a helmet was placed on his head. He was tested for eye hand response one last time and then brought to another room. In the center of the room was a pedestal, on it a quarter sphere sat, large cables coming from each hexagonal section that made up its form. Inside it was a chair, and Michael knew he was to sit in it.
"Go ahead," Said one of the team members.
Michael looked around one last time and made his way to the pedestal. He climbed a short ladder that was placed by team members and removed once he crested the rim of the cup. He sat in the chair and looked at the controls.
"Michael," came a voice over a speaker in his helmet.
"Yes?" he responded.
"Initial State."
Michael began the process and soon heard the sounds he somehow knew where supposed to accompany the movements he made. A loud hissing sound erupted from above, and when he looked up, the other three quarters of the sphere was descending toward him slowly. His gaze returned to the control console and he continued the process. Finally, the top of the sphere connected against the bottom and with his last few keystrokes, a clamping sound reverberated through the sphere. "Initial State," he said into the helmet, his breath slightly fogging the transparent faceplate.
"Good job Michael. We're almost done. Just wait a few moments alright?" said Smalldridge.
"Ok," Michael said. In the darkness of the sphere, he played back the conversation Dan had with the Colonel. There was something that was said, something that caught his mind. It was the name Cassandra. Once he thought of it, the name became a constant, impressed in his mind. An immovable presence.
"Michael." Smalldridge's voice once again came through the speaker of his helmet.
"Dan," Michael responded.
"Singularity State."
Michael's arms went into action, and the hum of the superconductors winding up in every hexagonal compartment that created the sphere climbed to a high squeal. Nearing the very end of the process Michael grasped the throttle, and froze.
Smalldridge looked up from the instruments and peered at the sphere. He hit the button for his mic to transmit. "Michael, what's wrong?" He heard heavy breathing on the other end.
"Who is Cassandra?"
Smalldridge's face sank. "Michael, engage the throttle one fifth of the way."
"Answer my question."
"God damn it Michael."
"Who is Cassandra?"
"Just do what I am telling you to do!" The Doctor was yelling at the top of his lungs. "Push the throttle forward."
Michael squinted in frustration. "Ok," he said, and then drove the throttle to the very end of its travel.
Immediately, the superconductors hissed loudly and the entire sphere began shuddering. Red lights dominated the control console. "Singularity State," Michael said, with disdain and sarcasm.
"Get out! Everybody get out!" said Smalldridge through Michael's helmet, followed by the clunking sound of the mic falling over.
Michael heard the muffled sounds of men screaming as the device shuddered violently. The red that painted the inside of the sphere was soon dominated by a white glowing light. Michael felt something, it was uncomfortable. Pain coursed through his body, he began to scream and screamed until his breath ran out. At some point during the agony, he passed into unconsciousness.

Opened sometime in the middle of 2013, Oslo Kulturhuset (which might be somewhat translated as the House of Culture), is a really big place (800 square meters) where one can spend most of the time lost in a wide variety of more or less social activities. I personally used it for a bar in the evenings and had a few drinks with friends. I do like their wide choice of beers and I ended up drinking a ginger ale from Japan for example. I read somewhere that their aim was to have 50 types of beer and 50 of wine.
But besides enjoying a drink, you can either play a game of shuffleboard or table tennis, sit and read, catch a concert, grab a coffee during daytime and, probably the most important, you can find a room with a debate or a meeting that might suit your interests and take part in it. The place seems to try to blend all sorts of cultures and give everyone a chance to learn about new and old things. I can only hope I get to catch a concert there since I am curious about how the scene and the sound are. My favorite part about this place is the feeling of plenty of space. You almost get lost on your way to the toilet.

English Premier League 2016-17 (Part 1)
Hi Friends, this is my preview to the upcoming Premier League season which kicks off on August 13. In this competition, last season's top 17 teams and 3 teams promoted from the second tier participate in a round robin fashion. So, here I am sharing some best predictions on each EPL team for next Season.
1. AFC Bournemouth
This is Bournemouth's only second year in the top flight and they would like to do better than last year's finish in 16th position. They did pull out some great results mid-way through the 2015-2016 season but during the business end fell out of order. This year probably won't be their year as they could fall back to the championship.
Key Player: Callum Wilson
2. Arsenal FC
Last season was a great one for the Gunners as they continued their supremacy over north London rivals Spurs. It was Arsenal's best finish in the last decade. But they still have the striker issue and are unable to cope with the Christmas schedule time. Granit Xhaka's signing is a huge boost for the creative Arsenal midfield. Maybe this year could be the one where Arsenal win the Premier League, finally.
Key Player: Mesut Özil
3. Burnley FC
With only one year of absence, the minnows are back in style after winning the Football Championship. Burnley finished second last 2 seasons back but was a great team under Sean Dyche and that showed up their spirit to come back to where they belong. Burnley will finish in the bottom half of the table still but won't go down this time.
Key Player: Tom Heaton
4. Chelsea FC
With Antonio Conte holding the reigns of this London club, Chelsea would put a behind a disastrous season behind them and fight as title favourites. With the signing of Michy Batshuayi, Chelsea, now have a great attacking trio in Hazard, Michy and Willian with Oscar behind the striker. A top four finish would be a great start for Conte's first season.
Key Player: Eden Hazard
5. Crystal Palace FC
Just like Wales this Euro, the Eagles are a dark horse in England's top flight. Since the arrival of Alan Pardew, this team has grown into a powerhouse and are still building on that foundation. Palace's signings of Steve Mandanda and Andros Townsend shows that the team wants to fight for the Europa League spot but will probably end in the top half of the table only.
Key Player: Yannick Bolasie
6. Everton
It was the worst season for the Toffees in the top flight and one they surely must build on. But with new manager Ronald Koeman coming in fans can expect Everton back to its prime form. The Goodison Park wasn't their forte last season but this season probably they could muster their defence a lot which was very poor last time out. If they could finish somewhere near 8th in the table, it must build their confidence a lot.
Key Player: Ross Barkley
7. Hull City
Just like Burnley, after a year in the second tier, Hull City are back in the Premier League after they won the Championship Play-off final against Sheffield Wednesday. Steve Bruce's side are another powerhouse team with many experienced players that could help them slipping away again this season. But probably they would end up again in the Championship anyway.
Key Player: Tom Huddlestone
8. Leicester City
This "underdog" labelled team wrote the greatest story in the football history. This year the Foxes will be participating in their first ever Champions League. This team did pull out some unbelievable results on the way to their first Premier League title. But they could probably end up in the middle of the table this year since this side doesn't have much squad depth
Key Player: Jamie Vardy
9. Liverpool FC
Jurgen Klopp will have his first full season in charge in the Premier League. The German is a shrewd tactician and has shown his team reshaping idea with the new signings. If he could do what he did with Dortmund this season, Liverpool could pull a great season and finish in the Champions League spot. A Europa League place seems very likely but they are "the underdogs" of this season.
Key Player: Jordon Henderson
10. Manchester City FC
Pep Guardiola's first season in England is the most anticipated and talked about among the fans in the England. His tenure with FC Barcelona and FC Bayern Munich has already shown what the Premier League must expect from his team. FC Bayern Munich had an average possession of 66.4% last season, which is Pep's style of football and he has achieved great laurels by sticking to it always. Manchester City could finish second this season with a great squad and a great manager at their disposal.
Key Player: Kevin de Bruyne
So these are my predictions on the 10 teams out of 20 of the English Premier League for the next season. For next 10 wait for the second part. Do comment below your views and your predictions for the next season.

When were these idiots taught to begin questions with "There are some who say"?
Journalism school. Or watching a news show ever.
Maybe they're just born knowing that's the easiest way to say what you think without explicitly saying it's what you think.
By the way, did anyone anytime bring up the little footnote about us having a right to have at least some kind of gun in some fashion? No? Okay.
it's code for "i think"
J-school. It's taught as a method to camouflage personal bias.
I think Goebbels started it.

Pale Man
Something i wrote a while ago....Enjoy
My dearest friend why are you here
You seem to be at your deaths door
By God you look a fright!
Take no heed to my present look
I am fine I swear!
Walk away from me this night
I do not need your care.
My friend you look so deathly pale
A rope is in your hand
Tell me what is wrong my friend
For I cannot understand.
I am here to end my life
Here to say goodbye
My wife is why I choose this way
Why I have to die
One night ago I had a dream
About a bloodied face
I woke in morning by that head
And me it went to chase
I slashed it with my battle sword
It screamed aloud with fright
So I picked up my trusty mace
And prepared for the fight
I smashed that head my aim was true
It fell straight to the ground
I looked upon the lifeless corpse
My wife was there, I found
I cursed myself for doing this
Why did it have to be me?
And so I dragged my hand made rope
To this very tree
So this is my story for you my friend
My wife so I did smite
So now I ask you to leave me here
So long and good night

SMi's 4th annual Biosimilars and Biobetters - 24th & 25th September 2012
Biosimilars for recombinant human insulin and insulin glargine
There is an alternative, as biobetters also aim to capitalise on well characterized target biomarkers and research on innovator drugs, but in addition, intend on improving the original drug to hold more beneficial properties. This strategy may not take advantage of accelerated approval pathways for biosimilars already in place in the EU, Japan and many other countries, but does give biobetters a competitive edge over innovator treatments.
Join SMi at their third Biosimilars and Biobetters conference that will discuss the impact of these new regulatory guidelines and their effects on approval of follow on biologics at this exciting event. There will also be discussions on the rising development cost of biosimilars and marketing and pricing strategies, with a focus on case studies from those who are both developing and distributing follow on biologics. You cannot afford to miss this event.
Key Benefits of Attending:
• Be informed of the latest news in biosimilar pipelines
• Evaluate current and future developments in intellectual property and patent protection
• Discuss the impact of recent guidelines issued by regulatory bodies such as the FDA and EMEA
• Asses commercial and financial strategies
• Consider market access pathways and strategies
• Develop plans and methods for biosimilar and biobetter drug design and clinical testing
This event will take place on 24th & 25th September at the Copthorne Tara Hotel, London. For more information http://www.smi-
