Bix Beiderbecke
Beiderbecke was a bit of a child prodigy, picking out tunes on the piano when he was three. While he had conventional training on the piano, he taught himself the cornet. Influenced by the original Dixieland Jazz Band, Beiderbecke craved the freedom of jazz but his straight-laced parents felt he was being frivolous. He was sent to Lake Forest Military Academy in 1921 but, by coincidence, it was located fairly close to Chicago, the center of jazz at the time. Beiderbecke was eventually expelled he missed so many classes. After a brief period at home he became a full-time musician. In 1923, Beiderbecke became the star cornetist of the Wolverines and a year later this spirited group made some classic recordings.
In late 1924, Beiderbecke left the Wolverines to join Jean Goldkette's orchestra but his inability to read music resulted in him losing the job. In 1925, he spent time in Chicago and worked on his reading abilities. The following year he spent time with Frankie Trumbauer's orchestra in St. Louis. Although already an alcoholic, 1927 would be Beiderbecke's greatest year. He worked with Jean Goldkette's orchestra (most of their records are unfortunately quite commercial), recorded his piano masterpiece "In a Mist" (one of his four Debussy-inspired originals), cut many classic sides with a small group headed by Trumbauer (including his greatest solos: "Singin' the Blues," "I'm Comin' Virginia," and "Way Down Yonder in New Orleans"), and then signed up with Paul Whiteman's huge and prosperous orchestra. Although revisionist historians would later claim that Whiteman's wide mixture of repertoire (much of it outside of jazz) drove Beiderbecke to drink, he actually enjoyed the prestige of being with the most popular band of the decade. Beiderbecke's favorite personal solo was his written-out part on George Gershwin's "Concerto in F."
With Whiteman, Beiderbecke's solos tended to be short moments of magic, sometimes in odd settings; his brilliant chorus on "Sweet Sue" is a perfect example. He was productive throughout 1928, but by the following year his drinking really began to catch up with him. Beiderbecke had a breakdown, made a comeback, and then in September 1929 was reluctantly sent back to Davenport to recover. Unfortunately, Beiderbecke made a few sad records in 1930 before his death at age 28. The bad liquor of the Prohibition era did him in.
For the full story, Bix: Man & Legend is a remarkably detailed book. Beiderbecke's recordings (even the obscure ones) are continually in print, for his followers believe that every note he played was special. ~ Scott Yanow

WSCCCE v. City of Hoquiam
On June 21, 1993, the Washington State Council of County and City Employees (union), filed a petition for investigation of a question concerning representation with the Public Employment Relations Commission, involving two employees of the City of Hoquiam (employer). A pre-hearing conference was held on July 28, 1993, at which time the parties stipulated the jurisdiction of the Commission, the status of the parties, and the timeliness of the petition. The parties framed issues concerning the extent of the proposed bargaining unit, and concerning whether one of the two employees involved was a "supervisor" or "confidential employee". A hearing was held at Hoquiam on October 12, 1993, before Hearing Officer J. Martin Smith. The parties filed post-hearing briefs. Review of the bargaining history during the preparation of a decision indicated that the employer has other office-clerical employees who are not represented for the purposes of collective bargaining, and inquiry was made to the parties about whether the bargaining unit should be expanded to include those employees. Neither the union nor the employer thereafter sought to raise a question concerning representation as to the other employees.
This case concerns two employees who perform office-clerical work in the municipal court operated by the City of Hoquiam. William Stewart, who has been judge of that court since 1990, testified that the administrative functions of the court are conducted by two employees: Bonnie Eisenhower and Karen Seguin. Eisenhower is classified as "clerk" and Seguin as either "clerk" or "deputy clerk". There is no written job description for the court clerk position. Both receive the same pay and benefits.
Eisenhower is the senior of the two clerks and is, by virtue of her background and experience, primarily responsible for administrative functions of the court, including receipt and disbursement of court funds and bookkeeping. The court has no position designated as administrator, but Eisenhower was directed by a former judge of the court to sign correspondence as court administrator, and has continued to do so. Seguin has primary responsibility as liaison with the police department. Both employees share duties in the courtroom while court is in session, and both are trained to perform all clerical functions of the court.
In the event of absence of one of the petitioned-for employees due to illness, vacation or other reasons, the other will perform the functions of the absent employee. Both employees are working 30 hours per week, due to budget restrictions. The court office is open for business from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., which requires that each employee work alone approximately 10 hours per week. During the times they are working alone, the employee on duty assumes full responsibility for operation of the office.
Eisenhower believed she would be contacted in the event both clerks were absent from the office, in order to determine what steps should be taken relative to the functioning of the court's office. Eisenhower also believed she could make recommendations to the judge concerning poor performance or discipline of the other employee, should the occasion arise, and that she might be directed by the judge to counsel the other clerk on attendance. None of the foregoing situations has occurred, however, nor has she ever received any instructions from the judge relative to her authority in these matters. Eisenhower stated she prepares budget data for review by the judge.
Judge Stewart testified that he is the supervisor of the two individuals. The judge holds court sessions each Tuesday. The judge is infrequently involved in day-to-day operations of the court at other times, but confirmed in his testimony that both clerks are cross-trained to perform all clerical functions, and that the division of their workload has been the result of the experience and aptitudes of the two clerical employees. Stewart stated he prepares the budget with input of financial data from Eisenhower, and after review with Seguin. Stewart regards both clerks as being equal in authority, capable of performing all clerical functions of the court and without any supervisory authority.[1]
City Administrator Pete Wall also testified with regard to Eisenhower's duties. It was his view that Eisenhower is responsible for the day-to-day administration of the court, including assignment of clerical work functions and scheduling of work hours of the clerical staff. Wall believes that Eisenhower's recommendations concerning employment or discipline of the court's clerical staff would be influential in the decision making process of the judge of the court, but no specific examples were cited. Wall testified that he has had no direct dealings with Eisenhower with respect to the budgeting for the court's operation.
The union maintains that the two clerical employees of the Hoquiam Municipal Court form an appropriate bargaining unit. Basic to the union's contention is the premise that Eisenhower is neither a "supervisor" nor a "confidential employee".
In its post-hearing brief, the employer contended that the union is, in effect, seeking a clarification of an existing bargaining unit during a period wherein such attempt is untimely. The employer further asserts that Eisenhower is a "supervisor" or "confidential employee" who should be excluded from the proposed bargaining unit. The employer maintains that Eisenhower is a supervisor because of her responsibility for the day-to-day operation of the court, and should be regarded as a "confidential employee" since, in the event of labor negotiations, she would be privy to information involved in the formulation of labor relations policy.
Existence of "Question Concerning Representation"
Prior to filing the petition in this case, the union asked the employer to agree to inclusion of the two court clerks under the terms of the parties' existing collective bargaining agreement covering another bargaining unit. The employer declined, on the basis that the union's request was, in essence, for a unit clarification at an untimely period during the term of the parties' labor agreement. The union then commenced this proceeding under Chapter 391-25 WAC, by filing a petition for investigation of a question concerning representation. Having stipulated during the pre-hearing conference in this case that the union's petition was timely, the employer asserted a "timeliness" issue in its post-hearing brief.
The employer's claim that the union is attempting to subvert Commission precedent and statutory mandates by filing the petition herein is not persuasive. Under the authority of Toppenish School District, Decision 1143-A (PECB, 1981), and WAC 391-35-020, a unit clarification by the union would have been considered untimely, and the employer quite properly rejected the union's effort to add the positions which are the subject of this petition to the existing bargaining unit. Although the union initially sought to utilize the unit clarification procedure with respect to these positions, it did not pursue that effort. Instead, it filed the petition herein when its "accretion" effort was resisted by the employer.
By filing the "representation" petition in this case, the union has appropriately placed before the Commission a question concerning the representation of the clerks working in the employer's municipal court operation. The Commission may direct an election among those unrepresented employees, if they constitute an appropriate bargaining unit. They need not be the most appropriate bargaining unit. Port of Seattle, Decision 3937 (PECB, 1991).
Proposed Exclusion of Eisenhower
The Commission has excluded "confidential employees" from bargaining units under RCW 41.56.030(2)(c), to prevent conflicts of interest affecting those who necessarily prepare confidential labor relations materials, or have access to such materials. IAFF, Local 469 v. City of Yakima, 91 Wn.2d 101 (1978); City of Mountlake Terrace, Decision 3832-A (PECB, 1992). The Commission generally excludes "supervisors" from the bargaining units which include their subordinates, in order to prevent conflicts of interest affecting those who act on behalf of the employer in directing the workforce, and disciplining other employees. City of Richland, Decision 279-A (PECB, 1978), affirmed 29 Wn.App. 599 (Division III, 1981), review denied 96 Wn.2d 1004 (1981); City of Winslow, Decision 3520 (PECB, 1990).
The evidence adduced by the employer concerning the supervisory or confidential status of Bonnie Eisenhower consisted of testimony by Eisenhower and City Administrator Wall. Eisenhower is unquestionably the senior of the two clerical employees in the court, and she has concentrated her efforts on the administrative functions of the court. That evidence is not conclusive, however.
Although Eisenhower signs correspondence as "administrator", pursuant to an informal directive of a former judge, she is classified as a clerk. Although she prepares budget data for the judge, the other clerical employee is also consulted by the judge prior to submission of a budget request, and the city administrator does not deal directly with Eisenhower on budget matters. While she believed she would be asked by the current judge to counsel the other clerk in the office relative to disciplinary matters, and that she could make recommendations to the judge concerning employee discipline, it was clear that she had never been called upon to do so. Wall's testimony was that Eisenhower is responsible for the assignment of work and scheduling of work hours, but Eisenhower did not testify that she assigned work or scheduled work hours.
The testimony of Judge Stewart indicated that he saw himself as the supervisor of the clerical employees working in the municipal court. He testified that both employees are trained to perform all clerical functions of the court, that both clerical employees have equal authority, that the division of duties between the two clerical employees is solely the product of their prior exposure and aptitudes, and that neither of them is a supervisor. It was clear that Stewart himself dealt with the city administrator on the budget for the court.
The record indicates that the two clerks are fully interchangeable in their functions. There is no probative evidence which establishes that Eisenhower fits the criteria for exclusion as either a "supervisor" or a "confidential employee". The employer's claim that Eisenhower should be excluded as a "confidential employee" is particularly speculative, and is unsupported by probative evidence of any actual involvement with confidential labor relations materials. City of Chewelah, Decision 3103-B (PECB, 1989).
1.City of Hoquiam is a "public employer" within the meaning of RCW 41.56.020(1). Among other activities, the employer maintains and operates the Hoquiam Municipal Court. William Stewart serves as the judge of the court.
2.Washington State Council of County and City Employees, a bargaining representative within the meaning of RCW 41.56.030(3), filed a timely and properly supported petition for investigation of a question concerning representation, seeking certification as exclusive bargaining representative of certain office-clerical employees working in the Hoquiam Municipal Court.
3.The judge of the Hoquiam Municipal Court is the sole direct supervisor of the clerical and administrative functions of the court. The judge prepares and deals with the city administrator concerning the budget for the court.
4.The clerks of the Hoquiam Municipal Court perform office-clerical functions which they share, according to their preference or experiences, to provide efficient operation of the court. Neither of the clerks have any indicia of supervisory authority over the other, and neither of them is or has been privy to confidential labor relations material.
6.The City of Hoquiam has not established that it will be necessary for it to rely upon the services of either of the clerks of its municipal court to formulate and implement labor relations policy with respect to the employees of the court.
1.The Public Employment Relations Commission has jurisdiction in this matter pursuant to Chapter 41.56 RCW and Chapter 391-25 WAC.
2.Bonnie Eisenhower is a public employee within the meaning of RCW 41.56.030(2), and does not have a fiduciary relationship with the employer concerning labor relations matters so as to be deemed a "confidential employee" within the meaning of RCW 41.56.030(2)(c).
3.Exclusion of Eisenhower from the petitioned-for bargaining is not warranted under RCW 41.56.060, inasmuch as Eisenhower is not a "supervisor" whose inclusion in the unit would create a potential for conflicts of interest.
4.A bargaining unit consisting of all full-time and regular part-time office-clerical employees of the City of Hoquiam assigned to the municipal court is an appropriate unit for the purposes of collective bargaining under RCW 41.56.060, and a question concerning representation currently exists under RCW 41.56.070 with respect to those previously unrepresented employees.
1.A representation election shall be conducted by secret ballot, under the direction of the Public Employment Relations Commission, in the appropriate bargaining unit described in paragraph 4 of the foregoing conclusions of law, for the purpose of determining whether a majority of the employees in that unit desire to be represented for the purposes of collective bargaining by Washington State Council of County and City Employees or by no representative.
2.Bonnie Eisenhower shall be deemed an eligible voter in the election directed in this matter.
Issued at Olympia, Washington on the 21st day of April, 1994.

I have a problem with my bose stereo. Sometimes there is a sparking noise when i start up the car. Also a jumping noise like "WOO WOO" when adjusting the volume. Raising the volume very high a few times solves the problem. The problem appears rarely but more the recent time.
Anyone have an idea where the problem might be?

Wow, Mr.240p, we meet again! Surely you can push a little more bandwidth than that?!
I'd recommend people also consider the Lastolite Ezybox Hotshoe (54cm) over this. In use I find the Ezybox much easier to set up and use, a lot more flexible in the field and I prefer the quality of light over the brolly. It also packs down small, very quickly.
The brolly would be fine for studio only work and does offer a wider range of lighting effects. I use two Ezyboxes when travelling / on assignment, they're fantastic for portraits, products & small groups.

An imaginary videotape reveals the secret. Remember Wicked Willie, the cartoon penis with a mind of his own? Meet Wee Breastie, the pushy little bosom who knows how to get a girl what she really really wants. Minutes before the conversation proper, Wee Breastie springs into action. Under cover of "getting another beer", WB manoeuvres Me right up close to the object of her fancy and rubs herself gently on his arm.
No one notices. Not a word is said. Me returns innocently to her chair, a bottle of beer in hand.
Monica Moore of Webster University, Missouri, has been studying feminine courtship strategies for over 20 years. "Women's flirting behaviours are extremely subtle," she explains. "But women, we find, initiate courtship around 70 per cent of the time. They look at the guy and they look away. They look at the guy and they look away. They look at the guy and they smile - and that's an invitation for him to approach her ..."
The Breast Touch is one of 52 common come-ons Professor Moore has spotted in years of secretly taping women in US bars. It's a rare move, she says: she sees a lot more of the Eyebrow Flash, the Pout and the Lipstick Lick. "But you're right, the woman will pretty well always touch the man first. And when she does, she'll make it look accidental, although we believe it's purposeful. Though it's difficult to know for sure ..."
"Oh, the Breast Touch, it's a classic," groans the handsome Alexander, of whom we will be hearing more. "It's an extremely effective way of letting a bloke know you like him, and it's ambiguous, so it's safe. I'm sure it's not accidental, though. It happens too often for that ..." "You're wrong, Alexander," Me coyly flutters in reply. "I genuinely never knew I was living in the clutches of Wee Breastie, until I recognised her mischief-making when I read the research." Which is completely true.
How conscious are we really of the ways we flirt at parties? And, more pressingly for the social season: how often do we let our self-consciousness get in the way of a good flirt? In my search for the truth, I gathered together a team of experts: the sultry Peter Bull lectures in psychology at the University of York, and is one of the UK's leading experts in non-verbal communication. Gorgeous, pouting Stella Duffy is a writer, comic and flirting nonpareil. "Alexander" - not his real name - was recommended to me as a male flirtee bar none. And Monica Moore, as we know already, is a top Professor d'Amour. What advice, I wondered, can experts offer my friend Margery - a gorgeous, dynamic and adorable modern woman who, like many gorgeous, dynamic and adorable modern women, is a total chat- up klutz? Wee Breastie nippled in to gently guide me as I organised their tips.
FLIRTING ISN'T PULLING Eyes turn when Stella sidles into a party, on a puff of panne velvet and gingery-blondy curls. And the sighs are seismic when she turns to leave again, in the company of her steady girifriend. "Bye, men!" she chirps, pausing to flick a last imaginary speck from a final masculine lapel.
"I like playing, and that's all it is, it's play," Stella later explains. "And yes, it's true that since I've been in a relationship, I've found it much easier with people I barely know. I also notice men talk to me more once they know I'm gay. I think they're fascinated, and yes, I find that fun."
"Maybe I was too desperate until I got that dose of herpes," Margery chips in. "But there's nothing like a suppurating vagina to take your mind off, um, the obvious goal. And then, you can have conversations with all sorts. It's like, you can relax and enjoy yourself with the pressure taken off."
"I don't call it pulling," Alexander charmingly objects. "I just like talking to women, and it's a challenge, to see what sort of a conversation you can have. It isn't not sexual, but it's not necessarily leading anywhere ... If there's a really strong attraction, it just works like magic."
"My heart sinks when strangers ask me what I do," says the professionally quite successful Mr Mark. "In fact, I think about my job and how I hate it when I don't want to come during sex. So no, talking about work isn't a turn-on. I'd rather talk about the weather, to be quite frank."
"It's simply rude," complains David Williamson of Debrett's, publishers of Elsie Burch Donald's definitive - but sadly superceded - guide to contemporary etiquette. "Manners are about putting everyone at ease, regardless of age or rank. If someone does ask you what you do for a living, we suggest saying, 'oh, not that boring old question' ... Though it may emerge spontaneously, if the conversation is going well."
"Hello there, Margery," a dishy colleague bats. "Who's that?" I ask my lovelorn pal. "He's gorgeous," she moans; "But I can't talk to him because I can't remember his name! ... Hey, YOU could ask him and sneak back and tell me ..."
High-powered women of a feminist inclination tend to be great at self- deflating gossip, girly plotting and pranks. And yet, when they meet a man who seems to like them, they can't see him as the naked ape he longs to be for them. They're already seeing him as a character in one of their self-deflating tales: "... So she went and asked him his name for me, and he started chatting her up instead!"
Surprise, surprise, eh?
High-powered women of a feminist inclination, it helps if you simply talk to men, all by yourself, without getting your mates in to act as decoy ducks. This may feel strange at first, but the awkwardness should subside with time.
"Your friend may have a skills deficit," considers Monica Moore. "Teenagers learn flirting by copying the dominant girl: but if you had a traumatic adolescence, maybe you missed out on hanging out with a gang." Professor Moore herself teaches flirting workshops, based on the 52 signals of her original study. The 52 signals have even been taped by the Learning Channel in the US.
"Being receptive to cues can certainly improve with practice," Peter Bull suggests. "Oh, there are giveaway signs," Alexander heartbreakingly grins. "They do this thing with their eyes. A sort of excitement, it's hard to describe ... So you try to be sensitive to that. Otherwise it can be offensive, giving someone attention they don't want."
"Do the bollocks they tell you to," is Stella's sterling suggestion. "Like how asking people about themselves makes them think you're wonderful? I thought, oh, that's so obvious. But then I tried it, and it works."
Dr Bull is dubious about self-help guides which claim you can insinuate yourself inside a chap's affections by following a simple set of rules. "There's the risk of non-verbal leakage. You may give out contradictory messages, which becomes confusing." "You can flirt up one side and down the other, but if a guy isn't interested, he isn't interested," Professor Moore sensibly adds. "He has to find you attractive first."
"It's obvious, really. If you don't look open and friendly, no one's going to dare to approach you." Thus speaks the Love Prof of Missouri.
"Playing games is lying," Stella Duffy considers, "and if you're lying from the beginning, you've had it from the start. Besides, no one I know would be stupid enough to fall for that sort of rubbish. Who wants a sulky Byron when you could have Oscar Wilde?"
So you can stand about sucking your cheeks in as much as you like - but the only men you'll meet are ones with a women-who- suck-their-cheeks- in kink. Junkies, essentially, or guys with a thing about mending broken birds. And no, that doesn't mean James Herriott's adorably tank-topped friend.
"Of course I get rejected," confesses Alexander. "Statistically it's bound to happen, because everybody always has a choice. And yes, it hurts, but it gets easier as you get wiser. You make an effort to grow up and learn from your mistakes."
"It goes back and forth and back and forth, from the woman to the man," Monica Moore rhythmically rocks. "Each has a choice whenever it's their turn. So maybe the woman was signalling interest to begin with: but she's free to change her mind later if she likes."
"Tell 'em you have to change your tampon," Stunning Stella suggests. "Men hate that. Works every time."
A GOOD FLIRT IS A WIN-WIN SlTUATION
"The terrific thing is," as our chat-up coach points out, "these behaviours make you more attractive. Smiling and laughing is attractive to anyone. People look for the person who seems to be in love with life - and, who knows, maybe in love with them!"
"Ooh, I like a bit of flirtation," says the comfortably partnered Mr Mark. "Showing off, nuzzling up a bit closer than you're meant to: it's good for the self-esteem, it gives you a happy glow." "Shameless, I was shameless," says a distinctly shinier-looking Margery. "I don't think I fancied him, but maybe I did ... Oh dear, I feel all giddy and feather- headed. Oh dear, I just don't know!"
So there you have it, chat-up klutzes: just put on that frock and have fun. And if you feel a tugging sensation at the front of it, let it lead you where it may. She's sexy, she's upfront, but she won't get you caught if you don't want to be. Throw away those Rules, forget that fusty self- help. With Wee Breastie working for you, all you'll need to lean on is the manly arm of your choice. Just so long as you understand, of course, that the choice of manly arm was originally WB's.

Unlike natural granite, Meridian Quartz Surfacing is non-porous and requires no sealing, giving you the look of natural stone without the ongoing maintenance. In addition, Meridian Quartz Surfacing is also stain-resistant, heat-resistant, and easy to maintain.
All of these qualities have made Meridian Quartz Surfacing a premier choice for specifiers, builders, and homeowners across the country.

If you're looking for a surface that is safe for food preparation and easy to maintain, yet will maintain its luster and natural beauty, you'll find Meridian Quartz Surfacing to be the perfect choice!
Variation in the natural quartz color, pattern, size, shape, and shade are inherent and unique characteristics of Meridian Quartz Surfacing and are to be expected as with all natural products. These variations do not affect the product performance. Seams in quartz products will be plainly visible. Where seams occur, product color and pattern may change.
Additional Precautions
All surfaces can be damaged by excessive force or pressure.
Meridian Quartz surfaces can be damaged by sudden and rapid temperature changes, especially near the edges, as well as direct or sustained heating of the product. Your product may not withstand the direct transfer of heat from hot pots and pans, electric frying pans and griddles, some crock pots, some toasters and toaster ovens, and heat lamps. Therefore, the use of a hot pad or trivet is ALWAYS recommended.

On paper, Indiana appears to have a seriously difficult task at hand.
Coming off back-to-back seven-point losses, the Indians are in a regrouping stage, and they know they must get better quickly in order to maintain any hopes of reaching the WPIAL playoffs. So what would be nice right now is one of those feel-good kind of wins that makes things just a bit easier.
Instead, the Indians get a date Friday night with West Mifflin.
West who?
Undefeated West Mifflin. The ninth-ranked team in the state. A squad that has outscored its six opponents 273-62 and has enacted the mercy rule four times in six games.
That West Mifflin.
The team that whipped Indiana last season 29-0 en route to a berth in the WPIAL Class AAA championship game.
And there's one more thing: The Titans will bring the most explosive player in this half of the state to Andy Kuzneski Field in tailback Jimmy Wheeler, a 5-foot-9, 200-pound beast who has rushed for 1,569 yards and 23 touchdowns this season. And that came after he gained 2,226 yards and scored 29 touchdowns last year.
"He is," said Indiana coach Mark Zilinskas, "head and shoulders better than anyone else around."
Digest all that, and then consider the facts about the Indians:
• They have lost two games in a row and four of their past five.
• Their two wins came against teams that are a combined 3-9.
• Jacob Zilinskas, who has never started a varsity game, will be under center at quarterback Friday because of an injury to Sean Thompson.
It's pretty clear what's going to happen here, right?
Mark Zilinskas doesn't think so, and neither do his players.
"It's like we've been saying: If we don't think we can win this game, then we should just call them and cancel the game," the 12th-year coach said. "We are going out there with one goal in mind, and that's to knock off a great football team."
And Zilinskas thinks it's possible.
But even if the Indians do pull off the upset, they won't be any closer to a playoff spot than when the game began. That's because this is a non-conference game, and it won't impact Indiana's standing in the WPIAL Greater Allegheny Conference.
So the good news is this: Although winning this game looks like a near-impossible task, the Indians will be playing with a net because a loss won't hurt them. So they're planning to get after the Titans and try to make things difficult for Wheeler and Co.
To do that, the Indians must avoid the kind of mistakes they made the past two weeks, when they lost to Highlands (21-14) and Greensburg Salem (28-21). Had those two games gone the Indians' way, they would be 4-2 and in the thick of the race for the conference title. Instead, they are 2-4 and need to beat Knoch next week and Hollidaysburg the week after to have any shot at getting into the playoffs.
So this game, on paper, looks difficult. But in Zilinskas' eyes, it's an opportunity to build momentum.
"The whole idea of improving from week to week has to be there," Zilinskas said. "We want to prove something this week and not take a step backward. You're either getting better or you're getting worse, and we want to take a step in the right direction."
Yes, it will be tough. But the longtime coach thinks it's doable.
"We've got to go out and play defense, create some turnovers and do the things that teams do to give themselves a shot at a win," he said. "We're not going to roll over. The kids are excited about this opportunity to make a statement."

Championship Central | Live Video | Live Results
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- The 2014 edition of the Ivy League Men's Swimming & Diving Championships get underway Thursday morning at Harvard University's Blodgett Poll.
The Ivy League® Digital Network will have live wire-to-wire coverage all three days, beginning each morning at 11 a.m. with preliminary heats through the daytime diving prelims and right through to the final relay each night at around 8 p.m.
Princeton has won five consecutive Ivy League Men's Swimming & Diving Championships. A year ago, Princeton and Harvard went down to the wire with the Tigers grabbing the title in the next to last event.
Is this the year that Princeton gets dethroned? It has been nearly 50 years since one school won six straight Ivy League men's swimming & diving titles...and that was well before the current championships meet format.
It has also been since 1993 that a team not named Harvard or Princeton claimed the crown. Could this be the year for a new champion? Considering the Tigers and Crimson combine for 85 top-10 seed times in the 14 individual swimming events, it could be quite a monumental task.
Here is a quick look at some of the key members for each of the eight squads:
Despite going winless in the Ivy League dual meet season, the Bears have several strong entries for this weekend's championship. Sophomore Cory Mayfield has solid seed times in the distance events. Senior Tommy Glenn, an Ivy champion in two events a year ago in his home pool, has the top 100 and 200 butterfly times. Jeffrey Strausser also has the third-fastest 100 free and fourth-fastest 50 free.
The Lions finished tied for third in the dual meet season, finishing 4-3 in the League and 6-4 overall.
Junior David Jakl has the fifth-best seed time in the 100 butterfly, while junior Kevin Quinn has the third-best seed in the 200 butterfly. Junior Micah Rembrandt is expected to contend in the one-meter and three-meter diving competitions.
The Big Red's freshman Dylan Sali has a pair of top-10 seed times in both backstroke events. Sophomore Victor Luo also seeds well in the breaststroke. Senior Phillip Truong will contend in the one-meter and three-meter diving competitions.
The Big Green's returns last year's Phil Moriarity High Point Swimmer of the Meet in Senior Nejc Zupan. Zupan won three individual events last year, including an Ivy League Championship record in the 200 breaststroke. He has the top seed time in both the 100 and 200 breaststrokes and a top-10 seed in the 200 IM. Sophomore Brett Gillis will contend in the one-meter and three-meter diving events. Sophomore James Verhagen has the third-best seed time in the 100 backstroke.
The Crimson earned a Top 20 national ranking during the regular season and claimed their second-straight Ivy League Dual Meet title. Unlike the dual meet title, the Ivy League Championships becomes a battle of depth to win the title... and the Crimson might just have it while also swimming in their home pool.
Harvard has 41 top-10 seed times across all of the events with at least two in just about every event. Freshman Aly Abdel Khalik, Freshman Cliff Goertemiller and sophomore Tyler Rocca are strong in the distance swims. Junior Griffin Schumacher and senior Oliver Lee are 1-2 on the 50 freestyle and 100 freestyle seed lists.
Freshman Jack Manchester has the top seed time in the 200 backstroke. Sophomores Christian Yeager and Christian Carbone are strong in the individual medleys. Junior Mike Mosca also returns to defend his one-meter and three-meter diving titles.
The Quakers finished tied for third in the dual meet season, finishing 4-3 in the League and 6-4 overall.
Freshman Jack Stein is looking to make some noise in the one-meter and three-meter diving competitions after a solid rookie regular season. Sophomore Chris Swanson has the best 500 freestyle seed time and the second-best in both the 1,000 and the 1,650. Swanson won the 1,650 last year.
Senior Rhoads Worster has solid seed timeq in the individual medleys and the 200 butterfly, while junior Dillion McHugh looks strong in the backstroke. Sophomore Eric Schultz has the third-best seed in the 50 free.
The Tigers will go for their sixth straight Ivy League Men's Swimming and Diving Championships title. You have to go back to the 1960s to find a team (Yale) that has won at least a share of six straight titles. And that was when the Ivy champ came from the dual meet trophy winner.
Princeton has more than its share of top seeds in this championship to show its depth, as well... 44 of them in the top 10 of events, to be exact. Sophomore Teo D'Alesandro is the top seed in the 200 IM, one of four top 10 seeds for the Tigers in the event. The versatile D'Alesandro is also the top seed in the 400 IM and the 200 free and is seeded highly in several other events. Junior Harrison Wagner and sophomore En-Wei Hu-Van Wright lead a solid group in the sprints. Wagner won the 50 free last year. Sophomore Zachary Ridout and senior Paul Nolle have top-10 seeds in the distance events. Junior Michael Strand is a serious threat in the backstroke and the butterfly. He is the top seed in the 100 backstroke, an event he won a year ago. Junior Michael Manhard and senior Mark O'Connell will challenge in the diving events.
The Bulldogs have won 15 titles all-time, but are looking for their first since 1993.
Junior Rob Harder won Ivy titles in the 500 and the 1,000 last year. He is seeded third in the 500, directly behind teammate sophomore Brian Hogan. The versatile Hogan is the top seed in 1,000 and the 1,650 and the second seed in the 400 IM and 200 IM. Harder is the second seed in the 200 backstroke, as well.
Juniors Andrew Heymann and Ronald Tsui are top 10 seeds in the breaststroke events. Senior Tyler Pramer will look to make a run at the top in the one-meter and three-meter diving.

porting, gasket match question
2 Attachment(s)
This seems a bit much to gasket match, I would have to remove A LOT of material. Also I would have to removed a fair amount of the gasket itself in the middle in order to have it match the head. What should I do?
You don't necessarily need to remove a bunch of material, just open the mouth to the gasket size and blend it back smoothly.
I would only trim the gasket where it hangs over the ports like in pic two. I would be loathed to remove any metal to suit that gasket. Maybe another brand gasket will get you closer to the port size.
How does the gasket look on the head? If your going to 'port match' that's a different procedure. You need to blueprint the two surfaces together without the gasket and ensure that the head port is not smaller than the manifold port around the circumference of the port, the other way round , ' not so bad' Then make sure the gasket don't hang over anywhere. Depends how fancy your getting with the build.
Do not use those gaskets unless you have tubular headers because you will be tightening them constantly. If you have stock cast iron manifolds, they will not tighten and seal properly with anything but the thin factory steel gaskets.
Hogging at just the juncture of where the head and intake meet- making a "snake that ate the pig" looking port- will decrease flow due to the turbulence caused by the airflow slowing where the port cross section enlarges.
Very early in my porting I had some success using vaseline on the flanges and gasket, then blowing talc through the ports from both directions. The talc adheres to the surfaces that are hanging in the port, this is used as a template to scribe a rough guide to follow. You can also plot the alignment using machinist blue and a scribe to show the alignment; this is a better, more exact approach. The idea here is to take each side, each top and each bottom of each port to whatever side (head or intake) is largest, and no more. That aligns the ports, and thus the airflow, w/o creating a bulge or an unnecessarily large change in cross section. I've seen tutorials on this, I'm sure you can find one w/a little looking around the 'net.
The important question here is how does that gasket "match up" the the headers you're using? If this is that same 350 you were asking about the cam/lifters, I'd say those "holes" are too big. The headers may be as well. A 1 5/8" header is called for. Felpro's header gasket for the d-port fits Hooker "Comps" and other smaller-tube jobs very nicely.
If the headers ARE 1 3/4" or larger, all is not "lost". The edge of the port that "hanging" in the flow path acts as a "reversion dam", helping keep things going along. So, while not "optimum", not nearly as bad as the reverse situation (header flange hanging into flow path).
Agreed, unless you ARE using headers, do NOT use header gaskets. The steel shims that come in full gasket sets work well with Pontiac manifolds.

Lockheed says committed to commercial helicopter market
By Andrea Shalal
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Lockheed Martin is committed to the commercial helicopter market despite shrinkage in the sector due to the slide in oil prices since it took over Sikorsky Aircraft from United Technologies Corp (UTX.N: Quote) last year, a senior executive told Reuters on Thursday.
Some analysts and industry executives have suggested Lockheed, the Pentagon's No. 1 supplier, could sell off Sikorsky's commercial helicopter business and focus solely on its military division.
But Steve O'Bryan, head of business development for Lockheed's mission systems and training business, said the downturn was affecting all helicopter makers active in the oil and gas exploration sector.
"Lockheed Martin has a steadfast commitment to the commercial helicopter market," O'Bryan told Reuters at the annual Surface Navy Association conference.
He said the company saw opportunities for sales of commercial search and rescue helicopters and VIP transports, which would help offset sales to the oil and gas sector, as well as continued domestic and international military sales.
Sikorsky helicopters continue to be utilized at a very high rate in the oil and gas sector, he noted, with low idle time.
Demand for military helicopters remains strong in the Middle East and Asia, as well as in eastern Europe, where countries are seeking to replace Soviet-era equipment, O'Bryan said.
He said Lockheed was ready to support the new Polish government as it revisits a decision by the previous government to buy utility helicopters built by Airbus Group (AIR.PA: Quote). Continued...

Boston police confirms another explosion at JFK Library #breaking
marcus spears @mspear96 9m
So bummed about the Boston marathon! Lord please stop all this madness!!
I agree with Marcus
I saw a tweet that said they have a suspect in custody but no idea if its accurate.
This is so damn sad! It makes me sick to my stomach that I have a two year old coming up in this pathetic world we live in right now.

The Atlantic has a very graphic pic, I wish I didn't look, this is a warning if you check that site, be prepared, the bodily damage is much worst than I ever could of imagined. :(
NY Post says 12 dead, 50 injured...Holy hell, this is getting worse by the minute. CNN still says 2 dead, 28 injured, now updated to say 6 of the 28 in critical condition
So for anyone out there who does run these type of races...
Would you encourage your family to attend the next one? Will this keep your from running anymore of them?
I usually just run smaller races, but I loved my half marathon in D.C. and was planning to tackle both the Baltimore and Frederick ones next year. I'm still thinking I'd run it, but I'm not so sure I want my wife and kids to be there, knowing this kind of danger could well happen.
Then again, someone determined enough might be able to sneak this into a Ravens or Orioles game, and I wouldn't stop going to those.
Just saw same NY Post update - also says suspect is being guarded in hospital
Just makes me wonder...
That's why when you go through training to work for the gov/military they specifically state: "If you see something, say something". Even if it is wrong. Better safe than sorry.

Growing up, my church observed "Lord's Supper" once a quarter. Every three months, an extra line would appear in the bulletin's Order of Service between "Message" and "Special Music."

"There's Nothing Wrong with America that Another Depression Couldn't Fix"

It's a song that, at least on the surface, celebrates buying clothes from thrift stores and rejecting the American obsession with expensive brands.

Pollen Collection & Counting
Creating a Pollen Library
The Division remains active in identifying local pollens not typically found in pollen identification documents. Staff also collect, identify and take digital images to develop a catalog of local pollens.
Get Pollen Information
For almost two decades the City of Albuquerque has collected and counted pollen. While the methods have changed over the past few years the effort to accurately collect and count the pollen has not.
The City operates two pollen samplers, one in the northeast heights and one on the Westside.
- The Northeast Heights site is at Del Norte station.
- The Westside sampler is near Montaño and Coors.
How It Works
Step 1: Trap Pollen in the Air
At our collection stations the City uses two Burkard volumetric spore trapswith two 24 hour sample heads. By using the Burkard sampler common laboratory slides can be used to collect the pollen.
- Empty slides are labeled and then prepared using a very thin film of a high quality vacuum grease.
- Slides are placed in the Burkard samplers and allowed to run for approximately 24 hours.
Step 2: Remove & Prepare Samples for Analysis
- The following morning staff remove the sample slides and install the next day's sample slides.
- The slides are then transported to the Air Quality Division's westside office.
- At the office the pollen counter warms th e glycerine jelly staining agent, slides and cover slips. Stain is applied followed by a cover slip and the slides are allowed to cool. The red staining agent is absorbed by the pollen on the sample slide making the pollen easier to identify.
Step 3: Count Pollen Using a Microscope
- The slide is mounted on the reading microscope. At a 40x objective, all pollen within an entire length (traverse) of the sample area (approximately 48 mm long by 0.54 mm) is counted. If values are low then more traverses are counted.
- The pollen are then statistically calculated for the entire exposed sample area. The statistical calculation becomes the official pollen count.
Step 4: Publish Pollen Count
The pollen count is reported by phone, email alert system, and online.

This is to assist you in meeting our Lord's challenge in Acts 1:8.
Our partnerships with other areas usually last from 3-6 years, with the possibility of extending your personal partnership even longer.
Who does the BCM/D have partnerships with?
Several of our churches and associations have extended their partnerships with Canada and Moldova. As each partnership ends we try to add a new one.
How can I help my church start a Partnership?
We believe that the Lord calls different believer to different places, and in response to that, we offer support to you and your church to "wherever He leads".
We offer help with the following:
For International Partnership opportunities please refer to the right side panel.

Curtsy and bow--Wimbledon stars work on etiquette
By Paul Majendie
LONDON (Reuters Life!) - Andy Murray is not sure whether to bow or not but Serena Williams is taking no chances -- she is busy practicing her curtsy.
For Queen Elizabeth, whose favorite sport has always been horse racing, is coming to the world's most famous tennis tournament for the first time in 33 years.
She never misses Royal Ascot's annual festival of top-class racing. But she has not been to Wimbledon since her Silver Jubilee year in 1977 when Britain's Virginia Wade won the women's singles.
Current titleholder Serena Williams. who hopes to be playing in front of the Queen on Thursday if the draw works out, said "Wow, this is really, really cool."
"I've been working on my curtsy. It's a little extreme so I am going to have to tone it down," she said.
Murray is not quite sure what the etiquette will be.
"I don't want to be bowing and the person I'm playing with walks straight past or the other way round. You obviously need to have an agreement before you go on," he said.
Wade reckons the royal presence will help to energize the Scot and really fire up his game which has tapered off since he reached the Australian Grand Slam final in January. Continued...

The arrest last night of a 19-year-old man British police described as the hacker known as "Topiary" —leading spokesperson and second-biggest mouth in the attention-whoring, authority-flaunting hactivist group LulzSec – looks as if it might just be another LulzSec hack.
"Topiary" was arrested late yesterday as part of a "pre-planned, intelligence-led operation" on a residential address in the Shetland Islands – an isolated set of islands known primarily for their proximity to North Sea oil fields, one-lane dirt roads and excessive population of sheep.
London's Metropolitan Police made the announcement just before midnight, U.K. time, after "Topiary" had been relocated to Central London for questioning.
Police are also searching a residence in Lincolnshire in the British East Midlands, according to the announcement, but have released no details on that part of the investigation.
Ironically (though perhaps meta-ironically), the last post on Topiary's Twitter account was July 21: "You cannot arrest an idea."
" As long as 'you can't arrest an idea'.... ummm everything should be fine huh?," reads a taunt posted by well-known hacker TheJester (@th3j35t3r ), one of several prominent hackers and groups who worked to expose and bring down members of LulzSec after taking offense at their antics, attitude and ego.
Police spokesmen declined to release the name of the 19-year-old they arrested, or release any information at all about a 17-year-old detained for questioning but not arrested.
They also declined to offer details of the "intelligence" that led to the arrests.
Much of it appears to have come from Jester and a group that calls itself WebNinjas, which formed expressly to take LulzSec down a peg.
LulzSec's web site has been down or static for weeks, many of Topiary's own content was deleted from his Twitter account and the account itself hadn't been updated since July 21.
Most tellingly, Web Ninjas doxed Topiary, identifying him as a 23-year-old Swede named Daniel Sandberg. It also mapped the rest of the membership of LulzSec, identifying them by nickname and role within the group.
Given the amount of information and prominence of LulzSec as a police target, it wouldn't have been surprising to hear one or more had been nabbed. British police have been hungry to redeem themselves for the mostly-mistaken arrest of 19-year-old Ryan Cleary – touted by police as a "leader" of LulzSec, but who turned out to be a much-despised hanger-on whose only real role was to administer a couple of chat channels for Anonymous and LulzSec.
He's still being charged with being disliked by police, but has been diagnosed with Aspberger's Syndrome, given counseling and a reduction of charges and been allowed to "go home to his mum his cats and his books," according to his lawyers.
Duped again?
British cops appear to have made the Cleary goof on their own, but the arrest of "Topiary" appears to be a set-up by LulzSec and probably Topiary himself, if a report in DailyTech this morning is correct: British Police Duped by LulzSec Into Arresting the Wrong Guy.
The main evidence is a chat log released by TheJester July 13 as part of a doxing of Topiary's fellow LulzSeccer Sabu (who, as @AnonymousSabu has been conducting a low-intensity, long-term flame war with Jester for weeks).
In the log, a chatter identified as the real Topiary reveals a plan to try to recover from the doxing by pretending he doesn't know any Daniel Sandberg, and continue as he had before, and his frustration that the plan had not yet taken the heat off the real Topiary by getting the fake one arrested:
Topiary: if I go hide then people will assume the dox are right
Topiary : so I'll just act like they failed hard
[removed]: True that - so you need to make a big show of disproving them
Topiary: yeah well, this is my plan
Topiary also reveals he stole his current nickname from a British man he described only as "a troll," who turned the tables on Topiary by causing trouble online while claiming to be the LulzSec leader.
Topiary: I'll just keep denying it until they try to go after the troll
Topiary: then they'll think that's me and harass him
Topiary: I'm hoping someone will go after him and think it's me, then I'll act all scared etc
Topiary : just hoping that they'll take the bait
Topiary : the f***** has been using Topiary for like a year
Topiary : trolling everyone
Topiary : for no reason
Topiary : so now we troll him, hope he's getting raided
Topiary: well whatever, we both discussed this like last year
Topiary: so...
Topiary: then I'll stop my twitter and everything
Topiary: but it isn't F***** WORKING
[removed]: make it look like they got the right guy
Topiary: yup
[removed]: frame up this damn trollfaggot, and "carry on"
Topiary: hope it blows over and they start doxing Ireland [troll] or Scotland [troll] or wherever the f***UK part he's from
Topiary: anyway I trust you so yeah
Topiary: we can keep this between us
[removed]: Wont say a word bro
[removed]: just take care
Topiary: okay gotta go
Topiary: thanks for advic
[removed]: bye!
DailyTech acknowledges there's no way yet to know whether the plot and the chatlog are genuine or that the plot Topiary reveals isn't out of date.
Unlikely as it seems, it's possible he pulled up stakes in Sweden and went to hide in the remote Shetlands, or was never the Swedish Daniel Sandberg in the first place.
Most evidence points to him as a Swede, however. And the arrest followed the script too neatly to assume it's all coincidence.
It's especially hard given the repeated errors by both the FBI and Scotland Yard in supposing they were investigating and slapping the cuffs on LulzSec and Anonymous leaders when they were actually sweeping up among the masses of rank-and-file.
The presumed scam generated peals of lulz on Twitter but, so far, no confirmation either way.
As with other "hactivist leader" arrests, it seems most reasonable to withhold judgment, but assume there's something fishy about the story coming out in police announcements.
Police are good at following leads and coming to conclusions based on basic logic and available evidence.
They're not so good at figuring out when the evidence is being skillfully faked unless they're able to arrest and question both faker and fakee.
If the victim of a framing is a little old lady or a kid who couldn't have the skills to commit the crimes of which they're accused (as has been the case with a number of "content pirates" prosecuted by the RIAA), it's not hard to figure out when an arrest is a mistake.
When the "hacker" who's been arrested actually is a hacker who can be shown to have either been hanging out in the same venues the real Topiary would haunt or even doing his best to make it look as if he is Topiary – either to collect respect or ruin the real Topiary's reputation – it's even harder.
For now, what we know is that Scotland Yard's cybercrime unit has arrested a 19-year-old man who fits the profile of a troll Topiary talked at length of framing to convince those pursuing LulzSec leaders that the troll was the real thing.
It doesn't say much for the ethics, judgment or moral backbone of the real Topiary if he's trying to get someone else prosecuted for his crimes.
Given his history of both hactivism and pointless theft and distribution of private information on private citizens – putting them at financial risk for no reason whatsoever – Topiary's lack of any moral backbone isn't much of a surprise, either.

Should a member of staff decide to rely solely on a personal pension or a stakeholder pension it should be made clear that the School will make no direct contribution to either of these arrangements.
It is very important that staff with pension arrangements like these understand how they work.
Simply put, staff with a personal pension or stakeholder pension build up a pot of money with which they buy an annuity (a pension) at retirement.
The dilemma with these pension arrangements is that a very large amount of money is required in order to purchase an adequate pension. It is therefore vital to monitor the cost of annuities. Annuity rates can be found in Sunday newspapers and financial magazines. There is also a great deal of information on the Internet, for example, try The Annuity Bureau.
Staff who rely on personal pensions or stakeholder pensions should ensure that these arrangements are being funded properly, and, if in doubt, consult an independent financial adviser. They should also consider taking out cover in case they have to retire early on grounds of ill-health or they die in service.
Information on all types of pension arrangements can also be found on the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) website.

Implementing value management as a decision-making tool in the design stages of design and build construction projects : a methodology for improved cost optimization
Mohamad, Saifulnizam & Coffey, Vaughan (2010) Implementing value management as a decision-making tool in the design stages of design and build construction projects : a methodology for improved cost optimization. In Proceedings of Pacific Association of Quantity Surveyors (PAQS) Conference 2010, Pacific Association of Quantity Surveyors, Sentosa Island, Singapore.
Accepted Version

Value Management (VM) has been proven to provide a structured framework, together with other supporting tools and techniques, that facilitate effective decision-making in many types of projects, thus achieving 'best value' for clients. One of the major success factors of VM in achieving better project objectives for clients is through the provision of beneficial input by multi-disciplinary team members being involved in critical decision-making discussions during the early stage of construction projects. This paper describes a doctoral research proposal based on the application of VM in design and build construction projects, especially focusing on the design stage. The research aims to study the effects of implementing VM in design and build construction projects, in particular how well the methodology addresses issues related to cost overruns resulting from poor coordination and overlooking of critical constructability issues amongst team members in construction projects in Malaysia. It is proposed that through contractors' early involvement during the design stage, combined with the use of the VM methodology, particularly as a decision-making tool, better optimization of construction cost can be achieved, thus promoting more efficient and effective constructability. The main methods used in this research involve a thorough literature study, semi-structured interviews, and a survey of major stakeholders, a detailed case study and a VM workshop and focus group discussions involving construction professionals in order to explore and possibly develop a framework and a specific methodology for the facilitating successful application of VM within design and build construction projects.

Ensemble: NEC Philharmonia
Conductor: Hugh Wolff
Artist: Luke Hsu (Violin)
This season, NEC's orchestra programs allow you to discover the music of living composers, alongside familiar masterworks.
The centennial of composer Henri Dutilleux (1916–2013) is being marked by performances of his music at NEC and the Boston Symphony Orchestra. This results in a great opportunity to hear two great orchestras perform Métaboles, which is on BSO programs starting April 21—or simply to increase your exposure to this too-seldom-performed composer, who also appears on BSO programs starting January 14 and February 25.
Métaboles is a symbol of Henri Dutilleux's search for a new kind of musical form. Rather than structuring this piece based on conventional models, he sought to develop the piece based on the evolutionary and "metabolic" process of nature itself, materializing in the way each section subtly morphs into the next.
Luke Hsu, chosen by competition as tonight's soloist in Lalo's Symphonie espagnole, is completing his second graduate program at NEC as a student of Donald Weilerstein.

A new story of common wisdom from the best-selling author of "The Traveler's Gift."
Orange Beach, Alabama, is a simple town filled with simple people. But like all humans on the planet, the good folks of Orange Beach have their share of problems-marriages teetering on the brink of divorce, young adults giving up on life, business people on the verge of bankruptcy, as well as the many other obstacles that life seems to dish out to the masses.
Fortunately, when things look the darkest, a mysterious man named Jones has a miraculous way of showing up. An elderly man with white hair, of indiscriminate age and race, wearing blue jeans, a white T-shirt and leather flip flops carrying a battered old suitcase, Jones is a unique soul. Communicating what he calls "a little perspective," he explains that he has been given a gift of noticing things that others miss. "Your time on this earth is a gift to be used wisely," he says. "Don't squander your words or your thoughts. Consider even the simplest action you take, for your lives matter beyond measure x2026;and they matter forever."
Jones speaks to that part in everyone that is yearning to understand why things happen and what we can do about it.
Like "The Traveler's Gift," "The Noticer" is a unique narrative blend of fiction, allegory, and inspiration in which gifted storyteller Andy Andrews helps us see how becoming a "noticer" just might change a person's life forever.
