This article is a transcript of the SpongeBob SquarePants episode "The Two Faces of Squidward" from season five, which aired on November 23, 2007.
- SpongeBob and Patrick: ♪Squidward had a Krabby Patty, Krabby Patty, Krabby Patty. Squidward had a Krabby Patty who's buns were white as snow!♪
- Squidward: [talks while they sing the whole song again] Welcome to the Krusty Krab. Where it's almost as if the evolutionary clock ticks backwards. [cuts to SpongeBob and Patrick]
- SpongeBob and Patrick: ♪Squidward had a Krabby Patty--♪
- Squidward: [SpongeBob & Patrick are still singing in the kitchen] excuse me for just a second.
- SpongeBob and Patrick: ♪--white as snow!♪
- Squidward: Do you mind, I'm trying to work in a fast food restaurant. You might wanna try it sometime!
- SpongeBob: I sure would, Squidward. That sounds... [Patrick interferes]
- Patrick: Oh, wait a minute! SpongeBob, you already do work in a fast food restaurant!
- SpongeBob: Oh, yeah!
- SpongeBob and Patrick: Yay!
- Squidward: Remind me to fire my therapist. [cuts to the front of Squidward's boat ] And stop bringing your neighbors to work!
- Patrick: We're not just neighbors.
- SpongeBob: You can say that again!
- Patrick: We're not just... [Squidward interferes]
- Squidward: I don't care! [faces the customers, embarrassed. Laughs nervously] $4.19, please.
- SpongeBob and Patrick: Krabby Patty, Krabby Patty, Krabby Patty!
- Squidward: [Squidward is shown like a thermometer, reaching the boiling point] Alright! I am gonna... Well, I don't know what I'm gonna do, but... [SpongeBob opens the door and bashes Squidward's face]
- SpongeBob: [singing] She'll be comin' around the Krabby Patty when she comes!
- Squidward: [screams as SpongeBob looks into Squidward] SpongeBob, you nincompoop! You broke my face! Don't just stand there, help me! I need a doctor!
- [Sounds of operation, SpongeBob eats Krusty Krab hats, Purple Doctorfish opens the door]
- SpongeBob: [gasps] Oh, doctor! Is he gonna be alright? For the love of Neptune, tell me!
- Purple Doctorfish: Well son...
- SpongeBob: No! don't tell me! I can't take it! [SpongeBob is crying]
- Purple Doctorfish: We should know...
- SpongeBob: No, please. Just... just don't.
- Purple Doctorfish: We won't know for two weeks. You'll just have to wait. [Purple Doctorfish leaves]
- SpongeBob: Two weeks? I'll never make it. [SpongeBob falls down. Two weeks later, SpongeBob comes into the hospital with a bouquet of flowers]
- Nurse Rechid: Mornin' SpongeBob. You're early today.
- SpongeBob: Good morning Nurse Rechid. [walks over to an old lady] Hi, Mabel. Saved the blue one just for you. [takes out a blue flower and gives it to Mabel]
- Mabel: Oh, SpongeBob. Blue is my favorite color. Er... or is it orange?
- SpongeBob: [laughs] Don't worry, Mabel. I'll bet your amnesia's gonna wear off in no time. [walks away]
- Mabel: My what?
- SpongeBob: [flops into Squidward's room] Hiya Squidward! I've been practicing how to flop on my back.
- Squidward: [muffled shouting. His head is covered with bandages]
- Purple Doctorfish: We can't really have you in here today. I'm going to be removing Squidward's bandages and he made me swear to keep you far away from him.
- SpongeBob: It has been two weeks already? [SpongeBob Smiling]. Don't worry doc. I promise to stay out of the way.
- Purple Doctorfish: Okay. As long as you stay on the other side of the...[SpongeBob immediately dashes to the bed] [sighs] Right. [takes out some scissors and is about to remove the bandages on Squidward's face]
- SpongeBob: Don't rush it! Sorry, go ahead. Wait!
- Purple Doctorfish: [angrily] What is it?
- SpongeBob: Are you sure that the patient has enough [gibberish] emensmansera?
- Purple Doctorfish: I have no idea what that is. Please. Just let me work.
- SpongeBob: Very well, doctor. Carry on.
- Purple Doctorfish: May I?
- SpongeBob: Hold it! The readings on this brain meter are all wrong! We must postpone the operation!
- Purple Doctorfish: That is a television set put here for the patient's enjoyment. And it's not even plugged into the wall!
- SpongeBob: You're right, doctor. Proceed with operation sever. Hold it!
- Purple Doctorfish: Now what?!
- [On the television]
- Nurse: Doctor, we can't do this. Surely we can use a less dangerous procedure. After all, we have to start thinking about... the welfare of... [Purple Doctorfish turns off the TV]
- SpongeBob: Wait!
- Purple Doctorfish: What could it possibly be this time?!
- SpongeBob: I just want to say sorry for interrupting you before.
- Purple Doctorfish: [gasps] I...I...I can't believe it. [Purple Doctorfish faints]
- Squidward: SpongeBob?
- SpongeBob: Yeah?
- Squidward: How does it look?
- SpongeBob: Great Neptune...
- Squidward: Come on. Spit it out. I cant take it.
- Nurse: Time for your medicine, Mister...Mister...Mister...Handsome! Ohhh... [The nurse melts]
- Squidward: What did she call me?
- SpongeBob: Handsome. But she spelled it wrong.
- Squidward: Quick hand me that mirror. What the...? Wait a second. That nurse was right. I am handsome!
- SpongeBob: Squidward, you're not handsome. You're a hunk!
- [People then started to notice Squidward]
- Martha Smith: So handsome! [faints]
- Thaddeus: Handsome! [Then more women faint]
- Billy: [Crash!] Hello, Handsome.
- SpongeBob: Gee, Squidward. People really seem to be noticing how handsome you are now. You might even be more handsome than before.
- Tina: [screams] So handsome! [faints]
- SpongeBob: If that's even possible.
- Mary in wheel chair: Uh...[screams] It's a miracle...I can walk.
- Harold: [takes off sunglasses] I can see!
- Fat Student Fish: I can fly! [starts to fly] Uh-oh. My shoe's untied. [his shoe falls]
- Female Teen Fish: Mr. Handsome, can I have your autograph? No! not in the book, on my retainer.
- SpongeBob and Squidward: A limousine?! [shocked then the crowd cheers]
- Squidward: Well SpongeBob, earlier today my spine was hurting, now I'm resting on fine leather upholstery. [Limo stops at Squidward's house while the crowd cheers for them]
- SpongeBob: Well I'm gonna go clip my toenails Squidward, don't forget to enjoy being handsome.
- Squidward: Oh, don't worry.
- Crowd: [cheers] Handsome! Handsome! Handsome! Handsome! Handsome! Handsome! Handsome! [night time and crowd still keeps on cheering for Squidward until dawn]
- Squidward: Huh? Well, better go greet the commoners.
- Crowd: Handsome! Handsome! Handsome!
- Squidward: Good morning my people! I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, but even I [laughs] strange as it seems, need my beauty sleep.
- Fish #3: I want his shirt!
- Fish #4: I want his eyelids! [crowd rips his shirt]
- Squidward: I guessed I kept them waiting a little too long. I know, a little music should soothe their hunger. [plays the clarinet]
- Bill: Hey what is that sound?
- Harold: Wait it's him! The handsome man! [crowd cheers]
- Squidward: Beautiful and talented. what more do they want? Don't worry folks, there's more where that came from...Hey! [a guy stole his clarinet]
- Thaddeus: I got the clarinet! [crowd rips the shirt off the fish who got Squidward's clarinet and breaks his clarinet]
- Squidward: [smells the liquid soap] There's nothing a little foaming herbal bath can't cure. [Fish takes soap] Hey my grandmother gave me that soap! Well no one ever said it'd be easy being so handsome Squiddy. You'll just start getting used to.. [screams as a big female fish with 4 eyes pops out of his bath tub]
- Big Female Fish: Hi, Handsome.
- Male Fish #7: Handsome!
- Female Fish #8: Handsome!
- Female Fish #9: Handsome! Let's get him!
- Squidward: [screams and jumps out of the window and goes to SpongeBobs house while SpongeBob is clipping his toenails] SpongeBob! You gotta help me! They stole my bubble bath! Public life ain't all it's cracked up to be. I want my old life back.
- SpongeBob: Hmmm... I know just what to do. [crowd chases Squidward and SpongeBob]
- Mr. Krabs: Squidward? What have you done? You know what the Krusty Krab means to me, don't ya? And you took it upon yourself to bring all these, these customers, to me. Hey, don't worry folks, There's plenty of Squidward to go around. So everybody just line up and get your pocketbooks out, first will be a small fee of $14.98 per person everyone will get the opportunity to touch Squidward.
- Squidward: We don't have much time! Take the door and change me back.
- Mr. Krabs: And I'll even throw in a free soft drink for an extra $3.
- Squidward: Come on, SpongeBob. Take the door and smash my face back!
- SpongeBob: I can't! It was one thing doing it by accident, but I can't hurt you on purpose.
- Squidward: You better hurt me or I'm really gonna hurt you!
- SpongeBob: Well ok...
- Squidward: Now don't hold back, SpongeBob. Just really let me have it.
- SpongeBob: Just remember Squidward, this is going to hurt me more that it's going to hurt you.
- Squidward: Uhh... okay, just let me just memori... [SpongeBob slams the door on Squidward's face] Dooowww! Hey, I wasn't ready. [slam!] Would you mind waiting till I... [slam!]
- SpongeBob: Hang on, you're starting to look like your old self again. [slam!] Nope. Still too handsome. [slam!] It's still not working. Maybe I'm not doing it hard enough. [slam!]
- Squidward: Spo... hang on a sec [slams the door over and over again] ... let me... uhhhh... [Squidward becomes even more handsome]
- SpongeBob: Yeeks! Squidward! You're even more handsome now! And the crowd is in a frenzy.
- Squidward: Well, SpongeBob, it was you who got me into this mess, now you have to get me out again!
- SpongeBob: I know Squidward! I'll think of something! Huh! I just need, I just need... [a shoe from outside will be hitting Squidward and SpongeBob springs into action]
- Squidward: [In slow motion] Got me into...
- SpongeBob: Squidward! look out for that falling shoe!
- Squidward: Huh? [SpongeBob pushes Squidward and hits the pole flying dramatically; Squidward screams]
- SpongeBob: Squidward...
- Squidward: SpongeBob?
- SpongeBob: You're back! Oh, Squidward...I love you no matter how many times we smash your face.
- Squidward: I almost wish that meant something [crowd leaves after seeing Squidward not handsome anymore]
- Mr. Krabs: Hey, where you going? Don't leave me! Please! I'm beggin' ya! Look. I can make him handsome again. Watch! [slams the door on Squidward's face repeatedly] See? [slam!] He's getting handsome. It just takes a little [slam!] effort, just a little [slam!] elbow grease. Please! Come back!


text: I just received my Diamond Doves two or three days ago and I'm worried about them. My male is docile and coo's while my female paces and tries to look for an escape from the cage. They're very skiddish when I change their water or enter my hand into the cage. They coo and murmur and even make a small growling noise at some points. I have some natural perches I got from the pet store for them and a nest with soft cotton in it for them to sleep in, but they won't sleep in it.. And I have newspaper on the bottom. I read that the grill on the bottom would hurt their feet. I also put some millet in there hanging on the side of the cage. And a dish of finch food and grit mixed together on the bottom of the cage away from a perch so they won't well.. poop in it because I read that they eat more like chickens. We even tried giving them a dish of water to bathe in but they wouldn't go near it. I also gave them some parsley, reading that it actually is good for them. I just want to be a good mom to them.. Help? :<

More than 400 new World coin Registry set categories have been added to the Registry during the past two months.
The past two months have marked one of the most fruitful periods for creation of new Registry set definitions ever. Registry set definitions are the empty model sets collectors can fill by entering applicable NGC- or PCGS-certified coins. When NGC defines a set, we carefully examine published references for that coin series and consult specialists where necessary, to ensure that we build the most popular and collectible sets for each coin type.
After creating a base of US coins years ago, we sought to create definitions for the World coin types that were frequently certified. Having worked through the most obvious list, we started to get requests for specific sets. Over time, we prioritized these requests and filled in other obvious gaps. We also maintained modern coinage sets by adding new issues and refining scoring where inaccuracies were discovered.
In September, we embarked on a plan to create new set definitions based solely on member requests. Rather than working off a carefully planned prioritization, we just picked sets off the list of requests we had gathered. The list in full was posted on the Message Boards. When it was first posted on September 3, there were 1,417 different set definitions. Today, a little over two months later, there are 1,818 — wow!
We still have a long ways to go, but we wanted to highlight some of the exciting collecting options now available in the Competitive Set Registry:
Keep in mind that if you don't see your set listed, you can request it. The easiest way to request a new set is to post your request on the NGC Message Boards or e-mail your request to firstname.lastname@example.com. Also, if your collecting follows a non-traditional path, you can always create a Custom Set of your own design.

Pride goeth...
For followers of Brandeis University's crazed and policy-violating persecution of political science professor Donald Hindley (who last fall committed the unconscionable crime of explaining, in a course on Latin American politics, that "wetback" is a pejorative term applied to Mexican immigrants), the question is: How much longer can the Brandeis administration maintain the charade that it has done nothing wrong?
Brandeis students think the actions taken against Hindley--who was found guilty, without due process, of harassment, on the basis of anonymous complaints; who was sentenced to sensitivity training; who had a monitor placed in his classroom; and who was threatened with termination--is nuts.
The faculty thinks the Brandeis administration is way out of line, too.
FIRE has gotten involved. And last week ACTA wrote to Brandeis' board, urging it to step in and settle this mess once and for all.
At this point, the board should not only be looking at exonerating Hindley and sanctioning the administrators who hung him out to dry, but should also be launching a wider investigation into how Brandeis administrators have been applying the policy that was (mis)used to convict Hindley. It should also be thinking about abolishing its speech codes and finding a way to avoid the lawsuit that its overzealous administrators have invited.

Three weeks earlier, I had received an e-mail from Greenpeace: Chilean sea bass, I read, ranks among the planet's most vulnerable species of edible fish. Not only is it at risk of commercial extinction within five years (meaning no longer plentiful enough to harvest, though not necessarily biologically extinct), but its dire situation signals the possible collapse of an entire ecosystem.
How did the Chilean sea bass get into such deep trouble? Thirty years ago, Chilean strongman Augusto Pinochet gave foreign fishing concerns cheap access to his nation's waters. Eventually they tapped into the frigid Humboldt current around Antarctica where, in the eternal night half a mile below the earth's surface, the Patagonian toothfish flourished. This species' unusual fattiness made it not only tasty but also forgiving of overcooking and other culinary blunders. The fishing industry went into a get-rich-quick frenzy, and marketers too got busy. By the time this Alfred E. Neuman look-alike hit the menus of upscale restaurants in the early 1980s, it had undergone a celebrity make-over into the glamorous Chilean sea bass.
Although this species takes 10 years to reach sexual maturity, most of the catch consists of spawning and reproductive-age fish. Moreover, for every pound harvested legally, some five pounds are harvested illegally. The National Environmental Trust's Take a Pass on Chilean Sea Bass campaign, endorsed by various celebrity chefs, has barely slowed the slaughter.
The Castro Street restaurant isn't alone in serving Chilean sea bass. A quick survey of local menus reveals Chilean sea bass with coconut green curry sauce, Chilean sea bass tikka, banana leaf Chilean sea bass, and so on. Nor is it the only popular endangered fish. The bluefin tuna, for instance, a megaspecies on the brink of biological extinction, frequently shows up as a chalkboard special at local sushi restaurants.
According to Science, 90 percent of the oceans' major predators have vanished, and marine species diversity has collapsed. Managing the ocean responsibly will require unparalleled international cooperation. Yet consumers too can take significant action.
Diners, for instance, can use the Monterey Bay Aquarium's credit-card-sized Seafood Watch guide to help them responsible choices. The card can be downloaded at www.montereybayaquarium.org, or checked using a mobile device by logging on to mobile.seafoodwatch.org.
Diners can also ask questions. For example, a number of local eateries offer something called "sea bass." But is it the red-lighted Chilean sea bass or green-lighted white sea bass?
Meanwhile, chefs and restaurant owners can check the Web site of the Conservation Alliance for Seafood Solutions, which helps businesses move toward sustainable practices. See www.solutionsforseafood.org/forbusiness.
With Mountain View a dining destination, we have a role to play in helping to spare our children the terrible day when the last wild fish has been caught, frozen, shipped, sliced, marinated, steamed, glazed, consumed, digested and forgotten. And the ocean is dead.

A man was stabbed to death and four others injured in a drunken brawl at a party in north London at the weekend.
The victim, aged 20, who has been named locally as Ibrahim Ali, was dead on arrival at hospital after the incident in Stamford Close, Tottenham Hale in the early hours of yesterday.
Ex-classmates posted pictures and paid tribute to the former Park View Academy student on Twitter, where Georgina Georgiou wrote "Rip Ibrahim. Another life taken. This world's too cruel."
Mahmut Tehlikeli wrote: "Every minute of knowing you was a pleasure man. R.I.P Ibrahim Ali."
Sara Recber wrote: "An incident that happened just outside my flat last night. A fight. Stabbing. Death. But worst of all I find out that its someone I know."
Officers and paramedics were called shortly before 5am to reports of a fight on Stamford Close.
Shop worker Ozan Seran, 19, said he had heard the victim was of Somalian origin and had come to Tottenham for the party.
He said : "People are really shocked, especially the older people. It's a quiet area. It's quite a close-knit community. There hasn't been any trouble around here for years."
Scotland Yard said two men were arrested after they were released from hospital where they were treated for stab injuries.
A third man was arrested at the scene for being drunk and disorderly but later released.
Two others, aged 25 and 33, sustained minor injuries in the fracas and were not arrested.
Detectives from the Homicide and Serious Crime Command are investigating.
A Met Police spokesman said: "Whilst officers believe they know who the deceased is they await a formal identification and a post mortem examination will be arranged in due course.
"An open mind is being kept as regards a motive and enquiries into the circumstances of the murder are ongoing."
Any witnesses or anyone with information that may assist police can call 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

The Secret Race. A Film & Discussion about the NSA (Zeitgeist Discussion)
Goethe-Institut Washington
Thursday, February 20, 2014 from 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM (EST)
Who's Going
San Francisco, California
London, United Kingdom
Florence, Italy
Event Details
Germany, 2013, 27 min., Director: Tobias Rosenberger, Cast: Malte Scholz (from Pullach, Germany, headquarters of the intelligence agency of the German government) as Tyler Hamilton, "Schmitt" + "The NSA" as Lance Armstrong, "The Chinese" as Team Festina and "Other Fuckers" as Other Fuckers
Discussion follows the screening with director Tobias Rosenberger
"I can feel for the NSA. I understand what it is, and where it is. They made the same choice all of us made, to work for the security and well-being of their nation. Then they started to become more important in recent years and it got out of control, and the apparatus got bigger and bigger. Now they have no choice. They have to keep hiding, to keep trying to convince people to move on. They can't go back. They can't tell the truth. They are trapped." – Tobias Rosenberger
It was pure coincidence that for a few days in the summer of 2013, two unrelated events simultaneously dominated the major headlines in the German press: the monitoring and spying scandal of 2013, triggered by Edward Snowden's leaks of National Security Agency top-secret classified documents, and the official acknowledgement of the prevalence of doping in competitive sports, best symbolized by Lance Armstrong's televised confession. One is quickly struck by the substantial parallels between these two seemingly different situations: the existence of a rule of silence and the resulting significance of key witnesses or informants (whistleblowers).
Based on Tyler Hamilton's autobiography The Secret Race: Inside the Hidden World of the Tour de France: Doping, Cover-ups, and Winning at All Costs, this filmed performance is an artistic experiment about monitoring and spying. It indirectly raises questions such as: What may actually be at stake in the 21st century? How do we define truth today? And: who reads the following words, and how do they interpret them?
Nowadays, anyone who wants to combat lies and ignorance and to write the truth must overcome at least five difficulties. He must have the courage to write the truth when it is suppressed everywhere; the wisdom to recognize it, although it is concealed everywhere; the skill to use it as a weapon; the judgment to choose those in whose hands it will be effective; and the cunning to spread the truth among such people. (Bertolt Brecht)
Tobias Rosenberger (b. 1980) is a German media artist who works at the crossroads of media art, visual arts, and performance. He has produced art works in Yemen, Spain, Mexico, India, and Ukraine. Since 2012 he has been based in China, where he teaches at the College of New Media Art, Shanghai Institute of Visual Art.

Most people are aware that steel possesses the strength and structural reliability to support a 100-story skyscraper or a mile-long extension bridge. What they may be unaware of, though, is that despite its overall robustness and strength, steel manufacturing can be a delicate process.
One person who is familiar with the intricacies of the steel-making process is Wim Brandsema. Brandsema is director and 50-percent owner of packaged system provider in Emmen, The Netherlands. The manufacturer specializes in creating and supplying complete systems that are used in surface-treating steel, particularly pretreatment applications in the hot-dip galvanizing process. It uses three-dimensional (3-D) computer-modeling technology to create customized systems.
The pretreatment stage that leads to the actual hot-dip galvanizing of steel is precise:
- A piece of raw steel is pre-treated with a degreaser to remove any oil and grease from its surface.
- Then the steel is "pickled" in a hydrochloric acid bath.
- After pickling, the steel is dipped in flux fluid. The flux fluid ensures that the zinc reacts correctly with the steel.
- The steel is then placed in a melted zinc bath at a temperature of 450 C (842 F). If the previous three steps are not followed properly, the zinc will not adhere to the raw steel, resulting in a substandard product.
- After receiving its hot-zinc bath, the piece of steel is hot-dip galvanized.
- The manufacturer's flux-fluid system houses the flux fluid that is used in the pretreatment process. The system consists of four compartments:
- The first contains the flux fluid.
- The second mixes the flux fluid with certain chemicals to obtain the correct pH level.
- The third receives the flux fluid after it has passed through a filter press that ensures that any iron in the flux fluid is collected so that only clean flux fluid exits.
- The fourth gathers the used flux fluid before it is transferred to the flux-cleaning unit and back to the first flux-fluid tank.
The heart of the system is the four pumps that keep the flux fluid flowing flawlessly between the four compartments.
"We began producing these units in 2006, and the most important issue is that you have to make sure that the pump is not going to corrode when operated," said Brandsema. "Flux fluid is very aggressive, so we require a pump that will last at least 10 years. We knew that to manufacture our products, we would need plastic pumps that handle very corrosive fluids like hydrochloric acid. Steel, carbon steel and stainless steel aren't compatible with these very aggressive fluids, so you need plastics like PE, PP, PVCs and PVDF."
Benefits of the Chemical-Handling Capabilities
When the manufacturer began developing its flux-fluid systems, it searched for the ideal pump to control the process. Too often, the technology that was chosen for the second stage of the process—in which the chemical solution was introduced to the flux fluid for pH control—fell short in its ability to meet the system's needs.
"When we first built this system in 2006, we started off with an electric-driven, vertical centrifugal pump for the second stage, but it lasted only six months," said Erik van der Staaij, sales manager for the manufacturer. "At that point, the engine was rotted away by the chemistry we were pumping, so we needed a very corrosion-resistant solution."
In the search for a solution, the company's engineers had to look no further than three other pumps in the system, which were solid-body, plastic, air-operated, double-diaphragm (AODD) pumps.
"We looked at the other three pumps that were mounted on the system at the time," said van der Staaij. They did not see any corrosion on those pumps, so they mounted another plastic AODD pump for the chemical-solution mixing process.
"We have never seen any leakage from the pump or connections, not on the thread or the pump body itself. Everything sits tight."
The pumps are well-suited for dangerous chemical pumping applications in which the pump and system must be reliable. The pumps cannot corrode and do not leak. The solid-body, plastic AODD pumps offer features that make them ideal for handling corrosive fluids. Plastic AODD pumps are positive displacement pumps that have a diaphragm in each of their two pumping chambers. These diaphragms are connected by a shaft so that when the compression stroke takes place in one chamber during the pumping process, the suction stroke takes place simultaneously in the other chamber. This results in efficient, reliable, cost-effective, repeatable operation when handling any corrosive liquid.
Solid-Body Design
The solid-body design is typically constructed of polyethylene (PE), which offers excellent abrasion-resistance. Because of their PE construction, the plastic AODD pumps have higher abrasion-resistance than pumps that are made with polypropylene (PP)—while still having similar chemical-resistance characteristics—and are more durable than stainless-steel pumps.

Many of us today know very little about the 8th century English Kingdom of Mercia and its great King Offa. We know much more about Alfred, King of Wessex, who reigned a hundred years later than Offa.
A reason for this is that one of our chief sources for these distant times is the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. It was begun in Wessex and the men of Wessex were mostly interested in recording their own deeds rather than those of another kingdom. The Chronicle tells us little about Offa. Of his death it merely says: 'In this year Offa, King of Mercia, passed away on August 19; he reigned for 40 years'. As we shall see, Offa deserves greater mention than this.
Sources for Offa's reign
Offa compiled a code of Mercian laws. These have, unfortunately, been lost, but we know that Alfred used them later when he drew up a code of laws for Wessex. It is also very sad that the Venerable Bede, whose writings tell us so much about the Kingdom of Northumbria in the 7th century, should have died before Offa's reign began.
Offa's achievementOffa reigned from 757 to 796. When he became King, England was made up of several small kingdoms, of which Mercia was the largest. The king who ruled over Mercia before Offa was called Ethelbald (716–757). So for a period of 80 years, Mercia only had two kings, This was most unusual for a time when the lives of kings were short and dangerous. For instance, Northumbria had eleven kings over the same period.
Ethelbald did a lot to extend the kingdom of Mercia; in his day he was called 'King of the Mercians and South Angles'. Offa, who was Ethelbald's third cousin, was referred to by the middle of his reign in Latin charters as 'rex Anglorum' (King of the English) and 'rex totius Anglorum patriae' (King of the whole land of the English). This was by no means an idle claim.
Offa is often called Offa the Great. He seems to have been the first English king to have had the vision and the ability to unite all the little English kingdoms and make them into a strong country. How did Offa set about enlarging his kingdom and making it strong and respected? The answer is by fighting, by agreements and alliances with other kings, not only in this country, but also on the continent.
There were not, however, many battles in Offa's reign. The most important were at Otford (774) where he defeated the men of Kent, and at Bensington (779) in Oxfordshire where he defeated the men of Wessex. In 778 Offa devastated South Wales and in 793 Offa killed the king of the East Angles and annexed his kingdom. Offa either swept away the little kings or they became vassals. We know that the kings of Kent and Sussex witnessed landbooks as his vassals. He deposed the sub-kings of Essex and the Hwicce.
Royal marriagesOffa believed as much in the importance of alliances as of war. For example, he married one of his daughters to the king of Northumbria and he never had any trouble with that kingdom. Another daughter he married to the king of Wessex after the battle of Bensington. Even Charlemagne, king of the Franks and the most powerful ruler in the western world at that time, agreed to marry his daughter to one of Offa's sons. This shows that Offa came to be regarded as the important King of an important country.
Encouragement of trade
Then as now, gold and silver were thought to be specially valuable. Ladies liked to have gold and silver ornaments. In early days the Anglo-Saxons used such coins as they found or made mostly as ornaments. It was in Offa's time that coins were first used at all commonly for buying and selling. Gold was very rare and very expensive and so the first coin was the silver 'penny'.
From Offa's time right down to the 13th century the silver penny was almost the only coin used in England. With a silver penny one could buy far more than with a modern penny; it was worth perhaps as much as 30 dollars today.
So Offa struck some gold and silver coins; one of his gold coins still exists and you can see a picture of it on this page. It was probably made to trade with the Arabs in Spain.
Offa and the churchOffa was a generous benefactor of religious causes. He founded St. Alban's Abbey in Hertfordshire, and once went on a pilgrimage to Rome.
He wanted to create a new archbishopric, which would be independent of Canterbury. Pope Hadrian 1 sent a delegation to England in 786 to discuss this question. They agreed and the new archbishopric of Lichfield was founded. In return Offa agreed to make an annual gift of money to the Pope. This is thought to be the origin of Peter's Pence. In 803, seven years after Offa's death, this scheme of a new archbishopric was abandoned. It was not until the reign of Edward the Confessor that the Pope sent another delegation to England.
After OffaBy the end of Offa's reign 'England' had emerged as a political fact. Most of the kingdoms of England acknowledged him as their overlord. But when Offa died, the power of Mercia soon collapsed and in the tumult of the Danish invasions, which followed in the 9th century, power moved south again – to Wessex.
Offa's son was a delicate youth who died 141 days after his father. He was succeeded by Coenwulf, a kinsman of Offa. He was soon at war with Kent. In 825 the West Saxons defeated the Mercians at Ellendum. This was the end of the Age of Mercia and the stage was set for the great days of Wessex under Alfred.
Offa encouraged trade with the Franks and with other countries farther afield, and for this purpose he reformed the coinage in Britain. Up to now when people in Britain traded with neighboring states barter was the usual method employed, that is, exchanging goods for other goods. However, when trading abroad it was more convenient to use coinage of gold or silver, because whatever language they spoke foreign traders understood that gold and silver were precious metals and could estimate the value. So Offa struck some gold and silver coins, and one of his gold coins still exists; it carries the inscription 'Offa Rex' and is thought to have been made for the purpose of trading with the Arabs.

This Is What A Wes Anderson Horror Movie Would Look Like
The best part of last night's Edward Norton-hosted "Saturday Night Live" was this digital short, a mock trailer for the Wes Anderson-directed horror flick, "The Midnight Coterie of Sinister Intruders." It features all of the classic Wes Anderson tropes: actors like Owen Wilson, Gwyneth Paltrow, Tilda Swinton, and Danny Glover; a pair of precocious children; cutesy, diorama-like sets; an array of artfully presented weapons, like a picture of Edith Piaf and a protractor; a totally twee plot; and, of course, a stop-motion mouse. Only this time, a scary murderer is on the loose. Watch above!

Best Of :: Food & Drink
Most farmers' markets in South Florida don't have much "farm" in them, eschewing the raw in favor of the processed. The West Palm Beach GreenMarket is no exception. Not to imply an utter lack of fresh produce, but the quality of the prepared foodstuffs available every Saturday morning from mid-October through April makes this farmers' market truly superior. More than 50 vendors offer dense grainy breads; nuts and candied fruit; teas and coffees; and spices, herbs, and rubs. Mama Duke's vends only homemade banana bread, Turtle Creek Dairy sells goat cheese fresh from its Loxahatchee herd, and the Olde Pickle Barrel ships its puckery pleasures in from New York. This being Palm Beach after all, one can also purchase elegant blooms by the stem from Extra Touch Flowers. There's even free parking in the Banyan Street garage for GreenMarketgoers.
Deep in the retirement belt of western Lake Worth, refugee snowbirds and resident Members of the Tribe flock each morning to savor the crusty, chewy treats from this little storefront operation. The bialy bread is to die for, especially early in the day -- a warm, oblong cloud of moist, puffy bread flecked with crisp burnt onion. The pletzl is a joy, a footwide disc of crusty flatbread under a dense sheet of poppy seeds and onion. How did a Scotsman such as owner Scott McCollough get the knack? A Bronx apprenticeship in his youth taught him, among other things, to boil the bagels before baking them. Sundays offer the bargain of a half-dozen free with every dozen purchased. With the Palace's selection of smoked fish and flavored cream cheeses, you can build a king's feast.
Barbecue snobs have simple but stringent requirements. First of all the standard for judging is a good old-fashioned sandwich. The meat of choice is lean but succulent pork, preferably pulled or in chunks rather than sliced. And it goes without saying that it has to be smoked. Then there's the all-important sauce: tangy but not too tangy, with a hint of sweetness but not too sweet. Pile high on an ordinary bun. If the sandwich is good enough, the side dishes are irrelevant. Georgia Pig succeeds on all counts -- so well, in fact, that we tried the beef sandwich, too, just for the hell of it, and found it quite satisfactory. As a bonus, this long-lived joint on U.S. Highway 441 has its own distinct ambiance. Think '60s greasy spoon meets Deep South honky-tonk, complete with a garish collection of pigs -- on the walls, behind the counter, and on your plate.
Though this pub offers about 130 brands of brew from all over the world, the beer that earns Murray's the prize hails from the abbey of Koningshoeven and is called La Trappe -- because it is made by the abbey's silent Trappist monks. It's fermented in the bottle, a corked crock. We usually choose the "tripple," which signifies triple-fermentation and a hearty 10 percent alcohol. It comes with a hearty price, too: 12 bucks a crock. With a medium, flavorful body and a sweet citrusy aftertaste, the brew is worth every single penny. Hell, the bottle, which has a drawing of the abbey on it, is probably worth the price all by itself. If that's too much, or if you simply don't dig monk brew, another must-have in our book is Fiedler's Pils Im Stein. If you need a guide, call on the owners, father-and-son team Jeff and Jason Dimm, to give you a tour. They're true suds aficionados who love to share their extensive hops knowledge and don't mind giving you a sample or two. While you're sipping some of the finest concoctions ever crafted, the place offers good company, pool tables, and free darts to use on their boards. Now get thee to Murray's.
Half the fun of a bloody mary is where and when you drink it. That's because people almost always consume these spicy delicacies when they really shouldn't be drinking -- in the morning. And if you are going to drink in the morning, you might as well do it at a joint that opens at 7 a.m. That would be the Entrada. Take a seat at the horseshoe-shape bar and order your debauched self one of these beauties. They come with a dollop of horseradish, just the thing you need after a night of living large. Then go outside and dip your toes in the pool. You are sooo South Florida.
OK, so tons of fresh tuna are going through restaurants in seafood-heavy South Florida, and some of the more expensive, elegant spots surely make it as well as it can be done. And some truly great caesar salads are being made out there as well. But both for nine bucks? Uh-uh. Try to get a big, fresh, medium-rare steak of tuna sitting atop a huge pile of fresh romaine lettuce, chopped bacon, and croutons at most places, and they'll charge you at least that and half again. And this is no kiddie salad -- it's a Jethro Bodine bowl. It filled us up, and we're among the manliest men you'll ever see in Broward County. We have big round bellies, hairy backs, thick and furry wrists, knuckles callused from dragging along the ground, and slabs of Angus-like beef stuck to our ribs (well, some of us do, anyway), and that salad beat the hunger out of us. If you feel like a beer and some first-rate seafood at a cut-rate price, go to Flanigan's. Yes, it is a chain and we rarely recommend cookie-cutter restaurants, but Flanigan's warrants an exception, at least the one in Deerfield Beach. (We can't honestly laud all 19 Flanigan's restaurants around South Florida, because we haven't eaten in all of them.) The place, which is located on A1A just a stone's throw from the beach, has an old seafarer's ambiance and great service from people who genuinely seem to like working there. We had two wonderful dinners, an order of conch fritters (also among the best we've ever had), and three or four drafts for about $25. And the tuna, nice and red in the center, virtually melted in our mouths. We're hooked.

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a narrowing of the small blood vessels that supply blood and oxygen to the heart. CHD is also called coronary artery disease.
Heart disease, Coronary heart disease, Coronary artery disease; Arteriosclerotic heart disease; CHD; CAD
Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the leading cause of death in the United States for men and women.
Coronary heart disease is caused by the buildup of plaque in the arteries to your heart. This may also be called hardening of the arteries.
A risk factor for heart disease is something that increases your chance of getting it. You cannot change some risk factors for heart disease, but you can change others.
Symptoms may be very noticeable, but sometimes you can have the disease and not have any symptoms. This is more often true in the early stages of heart disease.
Chest pain or discomfort (angina) is the most common symptom. You feel this pain when the heart is not getting enough blood or oxygen. The pain may feel different from person to person:
Some people have symptoms other than chest pain, such as:
Your health care provider will examine you. You will often need more than one test before getting a diagnosis.
Tests may include:
You may be asked to take one or more medicines to treat blood pressure, diabetes, or high cholesterol levels. Follow your doctor's directions closely to help prevent coronary artery disease from getting worse.
Goals for treating these conditions in people who have coronary artery disease:
Treatment depends on your symptoms and how severe the disease is. You should know about:
Never stop taking your medicines without first talking to your health care provider. Stopping heart medicines suddenly can make your angina worse or cause a heart attack.
You may be referred to a cardiac rehabilitation program to help improve your heart's fitness.
Procedures and surgeries used to treat CHD include:
Everyone recovers differently. Some people can stay healthy by changing their diet, stopping smoking, and taking their medicines as prescribed. Others may need medical procedures such as angioplasty or surgery.
In general, early detection of CHD generally leads to a better outcome.
If you have any risk factors for CHD, talk to your doctor about prevention and possible treatment steps.
Call your health care provider, call the local emergency number (such as 911), or go to the emergency room right away if you have:

Jeremy, Matt and April are held hostage by Connor, but whoever comes to save them could be the next victim of the vampire hunter.
Connor surely knows how to lure Stefan and Damon to come into his trap. In the next episode of "The Vampire Diaries", he holds Jeremy, Matt and April hostage at the Grill, knowing that at least one of their vampire friends will come to save them.
Stefan forms an uneasy alliance with Klaus to try and contain the danger that Connor has unleashed on the town, an action that seemingly causes a serious disagreement between Stefan and Damon. Elena is again caught between the two brothers.

text: HomeReviewsSteamWorld Dig and Why You Should Own It Anthony Alarcon April 29, 2014 Reviews, 3DS Reviews Allow me to begin by stating that as both a video game journalist and as a gamer, I hold indie titles with a different regard than those AAA titles released by large publishers and developers. To me, the indie game is a much more intimate creation. It is both advantageous and disadvantageous that a smaller group of people work on the game. On the one hand, it can be advantageous in the respect that the size constraint of the team allows for innovative and unique aspects of the game. On the other hand, it can limit the game enough to the point where it is just not enjoyable. Enter SteamWorld Dig: A Fistful of Dirt. With a brief opening cinematic, we are introduced into our trusty steamboat aptly named Rusty. We are immediately thrusted into a mine Rusty has inherited from his uncle in the shy western town of Tumbleton. From the get go, you control Rusty as you search for your uncle in the mine (note: minimal spoilers!). While in the mine, you meet Dorthy, another steambot resident of Tumbleton who will aide you in your plight to find your way out of the mineshaft. After donning your uncle's old pickaxe, you can begin to chip away at the blocks of earth that impede your way. How it controls Control-wise, SteamWorld dig features astonishingly tight controls for a 3DS game. As you progress, Rusty will gain new abilities such as double jumps or being able to drop down large distances without taking damage. My only wish was being able to jump and break a block of earth to get to some ore that I missed, but then perhaps it would be too easy. Beyond that, I found no issues with SteamWorld Dig's controls. Challenge & Re-playability One thing that I found myself doing in SteamWorld Dig was dying. And I loved it. Whether it was running out of light to see my surroundings and being taken down by a mine critter or breaking the wrong block and being crushed by a giant boulder, I found myself returning to where I died to retrieve my precious dropped loot that I had previously spend the last 30 minutes mining. Situations can be tense; you can be far deep into the mine, one bar of health, no water, and I can guarantee you'll find yourself praying that mine critter you're going to kill drops a health pickup. SteamWorld Dig is by no means unplayable or not passable, but it offers a fresh challenge to the tried and true formulas we have all played before. In terms of re-playability, the game does not do much to get you to play the game again. After completing the story, SteamWorld Dig always returns you to fight the final boss over and over again. What you can do is try to beat your previous time by doing a speedrun, but beyond that is not much to do. Nevertheless, you may still find yourself coming back to fulfill those mining urges you've been having… Sound and Music While playing Steamwold Dig, I noticed that the main tune you hear in the mine is well… repetitive. Though SteamWorld Dig's soundtrack leaves much to be desired, the sound effects throughout the game prove themselves to be effective enough. All in all, the score and audio to SteamWorld dig does create a sort of ambient atmosphere to it, but it is too repetitive to be considered extraordinary. This is one area in which SteamWorld could have improved upon. Game Design & Mechanics SteamWorld Dig at its base is a 2D platformer/puzzle game, but it is also much more. RPG elements like character and item upgrades allow you to navigate and carve your path through the mine. The deeper you dig, the more your upgrades will prove useful. During your excavations, you will find continually fine rare (and not so rare) ores that you can bring back up to the surface to exchange for cash to spend on upgrades. You will dig deep to find enemies along the way, but will also have to watch your light source meter, and have to find water deposits to use special abilities such as your hydro-powered drill. Besides the standard single player story, I couldn't help but feeling like the game could have had more. Multiplayer comes to mind, how awesome would it be to play against 3 other friends in a game mode where everyone fights against the time to find the most resources, all the while attacking each other. Another aspect that could improve SteamWorld Dig is the inclusion of more boss fights. Without spoiling anything, having more bosses would have been a refreshing experience instead of fighting the same enemies over and over again. Graphically, the game is visually defined. Crisp visuals can be evident across all the platforms SteamWorld Dig is available on. The 3D also works well, and isn't so jarring that it will make the game unplayable. Fans of the western or steampunk genre will find the game's setting welcoming and familiar. Why You Should Own It So with this premise, how does it all tie into what I said about indie titles? SteamWorld Dig is one of those indie gems that are both innovative and unique. When I first sat down to played it, I immediately thought of the Namco classic, Dig Dug. SteamWorld, however, is much more than just your run-of-the-mill 2D platformer. SteamWorld Dig features a challenging experience for both those who do and do not seek it. You will find yourself enjoying SteamWorld Dig for hours as you search the mine for its precious ores in what seems like an endless effort to upgrade your equipment. If you haven't played SteamWorld Dig yet, do so immediately. For $8.99, you can't go wrong and will find yourself craving more. SteamWorld Dig 2 anyone…?

Let's face it. At the Rolling Stone do on Wednesday, no one was there for the awards.
Hundreds of musicians wearing their obligatory black get-up skulked around the top floor of Bondi's Beach Road Hotel looking as if they had been dragged through the dirt. Roaming in packs of four, bands congregated with other bands before slinking away, while mere non-musician mortals – also dressed in black – looked on in awe.
Luckily for the pale, vampire-esque musos in the room, the normally bright venue had been darkened to make it feel more like a cosy lair, as small hamburgers were dispersed rapidly through the crowd.
Taking the party scene to a new level, Bondi Ink was offering free tattoos. Yes, you read it right. People getting free tattoos in a pub. During the night, 44 punters became permanently inked. One man was even spied getting a tattoo of the logo of the tequila company sponsoring the event. A guest who requested a compass tattooed on her side was told it was "too complicated" and had to settle for a measly swallow bird. But she had a 40-minute wait and a disapproving boyfriend to contend with.
Away from the tattoo stand, beers, tequila and ciders were consumed at an alarming rate by other tattoo-sleeved cool cats.
The organisers of the award, in its fourth year, had apparently invited 1200 people, only to "uninvite" some guests at the last minute when they realised the venue had a capacity of 800. Fortunately, musicians are a flaky breed and only 600 showed up. But members of Australia's music royalty – including Jimmy Barnes, Tex Perkins, and music promoter Michael Gudinski – were there to lend their support.
By 10pm things started to get messy. A rowdy mortal fell on the "ice luge" being used for shots. "We neeeeeeeed security!" the horrified, scantily dressed promo girl said to her colleague, as the bands continued to roam, unsteadily, around the Bondi den.
Oh, and Tame Impala won the major award for album of the year. Gudinski received the annual Rolling Stone Award for outstanding contribution to popular culture.Sarah Whyte

Joint characteristic functions construction via copulas
When modelling dependent risks it is important to be able to generate joint distributions with given marginals. One of the ways which may be useful in connection with using the Fast Fourier Transform is to construct joint characteristic functions from marginal characteristic functions. In this paper a class of n-dimensional continuous copulas is presented which in turn lead to a simple construction of joint characteristic functions with given marginal characteristic functions. Bounds on various measures of correlation are also given.

Street Scene
Street Scene, Larry Vuckovich Trio with Akira Tana and Larry Grenadier, et. al. Tetrachord 684
It's been said of pianist Larry Vuckovich that he extended the love lives of more than two generations of San Franciscans. The claim may be exaggerated but its respect for the pianist's exotic touch is not. For a decade or so the much in demand Vuke held forth atop the Hyatt Hotel in downtown San Francisco. Over the past twenty-plus years, his sound became a part of the city's innate character, just as the music of Cal Tjader and Vince Guaraldi defined its musical culture in the '60s and '70s.
It's appropriate, then, that El Vucko's newest release reflects this tradition. Here we find longtime sidekick, bassist Larry Grenadier—a stellar musician who, along with Tom Harrell, was at the heart of the classic 1990 Concord album, Tres Palabras. With Street Scene, the vibe carries a somewhat "noir" quality ...the atmosphere is very much late night San Francisco, the small town that defines big city moods with its wharves and steep hills, its diverse neighborhoods and perennial cable cars.
Saxophone master Charles McPherson notes, on the album's back cover, that we are in the company of a musician whose "vision and musicality come at you from a slightly different angle" ...from an Eastern European tonal and melodic palette, to be precise. Part of the secret of Vuke's magic is his sense of brooding passion, meditative intensity, and an almost otherworldly sophistication. All of that is at work in this album.
The title track is a song long associated with Stan Kenton. Upon hearing it, one is likely to wonder where and when its familiar lyricism touched one's life previously. For this writer two other tracks own great privilege, as well: "I'll Wait And Pray" and Bill Evans' "Blue In Green," a song traditionally (but erroneously) attributed to Miles Davis, who was a genius at getting his name attached to pieces hepartly (or "virtually") crafted Larry Vuckovich is not merely a "west coast" pianist of considerable distinction. He is one of the important jazz pianists on the scene today. Since I've recorded Maestro Vuckovich perhaps as often as anyone (or nearly so), I feel a special closeness to his playing and to these performances. Along with Tres Palabras, and the equally remarkable Blue Balkan album of 1980, I regard this as one of the piano master's essential sessions. Anyone who listens carefully to this album, start to finish, will soon trek this Street Scene once again.

The Miami Showband
Kings of the showband scene.
Joe Tyrrell,(Piano) Tony Bogan,(Drums)Clem Quinn(Guitar)
Martin Phelan(Sax)Tommy O'Rourke,(Trumpet) Murty Quinn,(Trombone)
Denis Murray (Bass)Dickie Rock came from The Melochords.
The Miami Showband was one of the great Irish showbands, fronted at their peak by the charismatic figure of Dickie Rock. Rock, a Dubliner, was one of Irish musics biggest names, competing in Eurovision in 1966.
He had acted as the figurehead of the band since the early 1960s.
The band was actually formed before Rock joined in 1962. In a manner reminiscent of todays pop industry, The Miami Showband was formed by Tom Doherty, a music promoter. Doherty set out to lure the cream of Irelands musical talent into the greatest band in Ireland. Rocks arrival followed the departure of Jimmy Harte to seek his fortune in America. Rock was joined in the band by Murty Quinn, Joe Tyrell, Tony Bogan, Clem Quinn, Tommy ORourke, Denis Murray and Martin Phelan.
The Miami Showband quickly carved out a niche for themselves with romantic ballads, rapidly catapulting Rock to pin-up status. Soon they were supporting Petula Clark in London, as well as maintaining their gruelling Irish schedule. Songs such as Theres Always Me, Im Yours and From the Candy Store on the Corner gave the band consecutive number one hits, and secured their position as one of Irelands premier bands.
The Miami Showband
the most highly regarded ands, perhaps THE most respected, they were a pop band who could play any style of music.
Between 1963 and 1977 Dickie and the Miami Showband had 8 top ten hits
Dickie Rock
was considered to be one of the country's biggest heart throbs in the 1960's.
Dickie enjoyed enormous success with the popular Miami showband,
including a string of Irish Top 10 hits.
Once again the high profile generated by his Eurovision appearance in
Luxembourg brought another Irish Number with the song "Come Back To Stay".
The loyalist murder of three members of the Miami Showband in 1975
has ensured that the band's name lives on in political as well as popular culture.

COME BACK TO STAY - Dickie Rock 1966
On March the 5th 1966 Dickie performed the song in Luxembourg where it came 4th.
Rowland remembers the first time he met Dickie he was in Aungier Street
when he stopped traffic on the street.
Dickie remembers the time with great fondness - "spit on me dickie"
took off in Belfast in the 60's and spread all over the country.
When they came home from the eurovison they were mobbed by supporters and
well wishers the song went straight to no 1 in 1966 and stayed in the charts for 9 weeks.
Recordings "There's Always Me" "I'm Yours", "From The Candy Store On The Corner"
"Every Step Of The Way", "Wishing It Was You " "Come Back To Stay"

I am living in Perth Western Australia and still singing.
just released a CD of 14 songs
Photo taken in a market in Cape Town SA in March this year.
Guitar as you can see is made out of a oil can.
Made by a local guy there and sells for just under $1000.00 Australian.roughly 1750 Euro.
Great sound and action.Had a brief jam with the guy at his stall.....as you do.
Every account I have read of my leaving the band to go to America
"To seek fame and fortune" is totally wrong.
The real reason is that I was working and studying at that time and my folks thought it would be best to wait.
It was a huge decision for me and to be honest one I regretted for a long time but everything happens for a reason and I have and still continue to have a great musical career.It has taken me to many places.
This year I was in South Africa and later at the end of December
I am doing a Pacific Islands Cruise for 12 days.
So life and the music are good.
My CD is a project which started off as 1 song I had written for a guy in Western Australia it ended up with 14 of my songs and my pocket a lot lighter.Some muso friends of mine here played on it and turned a sow's ear into a silk purse.I also played Piano ,Rhythm Guitar and did all the lead and backing Vocals.It was great fun.
WA is very wild but beautiful and when I was doing gigs up in Broome took some photos of the very large red rocks there on the side of the road which I used on the cover of cd. Title COUNTRY ROCK

1 mayor retained, 1 newly elected
A new mayor takes office in West Kittanning on Jan. 1, and voters in Kittanning re-elected an incumbent.
West Kittanning
Republican James W. Sobiski clinched the office by receiving 254 votes in Tuesday's election, defeating Democrat Michael Holly, 40, who received 77 votes, according to unofficial results.
Voters cast 28 write-in votes during the election.
During the primary, Sobiski defeated incumbent Mayor Bernie Bowser Jr. to become the Republican candidate.
In his first order of business, Sobiski said he plans to begin investigating a potential contract with Kittanning police, to provide 24-7 coverage, and abolishing the borough's current police department, which is made up of two part-time officers.
During the 2011 general election, 65.27 percent of voters responded yes to the ballot question asking if they favored the borough's contracting with Kittanning for police coverage. Results showed 250 voted yes and 133 voted no.
The referendum is not binding on borough council, and no further action has been taken since, Sobiski said.
"I won't be in there until the first of the year, but hopefully it won't be much longer after that," Sobiski said. "I'm going to push it, but I still have council to go through."
Sobiski, a former councilman, said he would like to see the borough's government be more open and transparent in its actions.
"We need to make sure council listens to the people, and when they ask a question, give an honest answer," Sobiski said.
Also in West Kittanning, Democratic newcomer Robert Venesky received 237 votes, followed by incumbent Republican Paula Henry with 177 votes. Newcomer Henry Mores, a Democrat, earned the third seat on council, after he received 175 votes.
Incumbent Republicans Michele Cogley and Bernie Bowser received 133 and 127 votes, respectively, which was not enough to earn them another term on council.
Holly received 125 votes in the council race, which was not enough to earn him a seat on the board.
Republican Linda Olinger ran unopposed to become the borough's tax collector.
Voters elected Kittanning's mayor, Kirk Atwood, 28, to a second term in office on Tuesday.
Atwood, a Republican, received 397 votes, defeating Democrat Sandra Lee Bauer, who secured 276 votes, according to unofficial election results. Voters cast 14 write-in votes on Tuesday.
"I'm honored the voters saw fit for me to have another four years in office," Atwood said. "I'm unhappy with council's current direction, and I'm going to attempt to put the brakes on what is happening.
"There is a lot on the table."
Atwood said the borough must remain focused on financial solvency, and make sure to avoid all excessive and potentially wasteful spending.
He plans to work with council to revaluate purchasing a police dog, which he opposes.
In addition, Atwood hopes to find ways to reduce taxes.
"Our taxes are at 27.5 mills, which is very high," Atwood said. "We need to work to get taxes lowered to a reasonable level."

New York State Attorney General Eliot Spitzer said Warner Music Group Corp had agreed to settle the state probe into so-called "pay-to-play" practices.
Warner Music also agreed to stop paying stations to secure airplay and disclose all "items of value" given, he added.
The $5m (£2.9m) will be used to fund music education projects.
Improper practices
In August, US regulator the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) launched an investigation into "pay-for-play" practices - also known as payola - in the music industry.
It followed an inquiry into improper practices by Sony BMG, which saw the record company agree to pay a settlement of $10m (£5.8m) in July.
The FCC investigation was prompted by Mr Spitzer, who also led the probe into Sony BMG.
Mr Spitzer said Warner Music - behind record labels such as Maverick, Lava and Atlantic - had issued a statement acknowledging its "improper conduct".
In the statement, Warner Music said: "The reforms we have agreed to with the Attorney General are consistent with the internal reforms that our new management team implemented earlier this year."
Mr Spitzer said the financial benefits reaped by radio stations included direct bribes, airfares, electronic equipment, tickets to concerts and radio contest giveaways.

Have Relationship Questions? Ask a Counselor for Answers ASAP
It may be taking her longer to process what had happened mentally versus emotionally. She is still holding onto what you've said. You may point out to her that she too had said some things and that you're not asking her to forget the incident, but not to allow it to control your future interactions.
There has to be willingness on her part to move past this. Remind her of the friendship you have had and that people make mistakes. Ask her what would it take for her to be able to move on.

Jack Roche, 50, had earlier told the court he agreed to conduct surveillance of the embassy for al-Qaeda and Asian militant group Jemaah Islamiah (JI).
He said he had feared for his life if he did not carry out the task, but had never agreed to bomb the building.
Roche is due to be sentenced on Tuesday and faces up to 25 years in jail.
When the charge of conspiracy was put to him again on Friday, the 10th day of his trial, and he was asked how he pleaded, he replied: "Guilty".
The court then asked the jury to convict him.
Outside the court, his defence lawyer, Hylton Quail, said he knew Roche would plead guilty on Friday morning.
"It was his [Roche's] instructions to me this morning that that's what he wanted to do and that's what he's done," Mr Quail said.
Roche went to Afghanistan in March 2000, where he received explosives training and met Osama Bin Laden.
He said that upon his return to Australia, he went to Canberra and filmed outside the Israeli embassy in June 2000, but never agreed to bomb it.
Roche said Indonesian cleric Abu Bakar Ba'asyir - who he claims headed JI - eventually told him to halt his plans following disagreements within the group.
Roche said he became disillusioned, and went to the US consulate in Sydney to tell them what he knew, but the embassy directed him to the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO), where "nobody seemed particularly interested in what was going on".
'Tired and depressed'
After Roche pleaded guilty on Friday, his Indonesian wife said that he was tired and depressed after the previous day's cross-examination.
"He doesn't want to speak anymore. You know, he's (a) human being," she said, in tears. "I don't know, maybe the prosecutor is not human... he just asked again and again and again," the Associated Press quoted her as saying.
Roche was arrested in raids by the Australian police following the Bali bombing in late 2002 which targeted suspected sympathisers of JI.
Born in Hull, northern England, he converted to Islam more than a decade ago and has been living in Perth in Western Australia for several years.
