SFFD Neighborhood Emergency Response Team (NERT)
NERT is a community based training program dedicated to a neighbor-helping-neighbor approach. It is beneficial for individuals, neighborhood groups and community-based organizations in San Francisco. Through this program, individuals will learn the basics of personal preparedness and prevention. The training also includes hands-on disaster skills that will help individuals respond to a personal emergency as well as act as members of a neighborhood response team.
A typical NERT volunteer is not one type. The NERT volunteer is anyone who is active and involved in the community--or wants to be. San Francisco is made up of many neighborhoods. We are training to be one ready community when it counts. The Emergency Response is key but the Neighborhood Team comes first.

The Costume mercenary was a history student who spent far too long writing about Robin Hood and Hereward the Wake. She got waylaid by larp and got involved in this whole costume design business through convoluted family contacts. You can see many more photos of costumes on the blog, especially those containing people other than the Mercenary herself.
Commissions welcome. Feel free to email her.
She also hopes to finish her novel before the heat death of the universe.

Charlie Bezzina was one of Victoria's top homicide detectives. In his 17 years in the Homicide Squad, he investigated more than 300 suspicious deaths, including 150 murders - among them the crimes of serial killer Paul Denyer: the killing of Melbourne gangland figure Alphonse Gangitano, the baffling disappearances of former game show model Jacquie Ramchen and Sarah McDiarmid, and the death of former Test cricketer David Hookes. This is the never-before-told story of Bezzina's rise from a sheltered childhood in a Maltese family in Melbourne's western suburbs to a widely respected senior detective who served Victoria Police with distinction and unquestioned integrity for 37 years, culminating in his acrimonious and highly controversial departure from the force. The Job is an explosive and intriguing account of what it takes to be a criminal investigator at the highest level.

EARLY BRAIN DEVELOPMENT PRESENTATIONS..... Make a REAL Difference!
Your organization, agency, community, school or business will greatly benefit!
"Deborah is one of those people who can make you excited to learn and get involved. Her passion for educating people on the importance of early brain development is contagious! Her creation of the phenomenal brain development activity packets (ages zero-five) is exactly what parents, teachers, day care providers, students and anybody who cares about children need. Do yourself a favor, attend one of her seminars to learn how brain development can change the way you think."
Brain Insights: Information Everyone Should Know: This workshop provides an overview of the basics of brain development. Through visual demonstrations you will gain inspiring insights as to how you can have a positive impact on the brain in the early years. With this invaluable understanding, ideas are also presented on how together we can spread the word in support of children!
Brain Development: You ARE Making a Difference! The human brain is an amazing and complex organ that allows each of us to think, feel and act. The brain systems that regulate those activities are largely shaped by experience. This presentation provides you with an easy to understand overview of brain basics from birth through adulthood. You will be inspired by how much more you understand about how the brain impacts behavior and learning in school and in everyday family life!
Creating Great Connections for Communities: Creating Great Connections combines research, experience, innovation, and expertise, to provide caring communities with solutions beyond what can be found anywhere else. Learn how easily your community can come together to become the one that has children with the best developed brains.
Attention to Relationships: Early interactions are critical to the base of self-regulation, resiliency, delayed gratification, executive function, relationships and behaviors throughout life. Did you know early relationships also affect learning? You will better understand the critical role secure attachment plays on the children in your life. It is essential that everyone understands the impact of early relationships and how it can best be achieved.
Ideas for developing rapport and trust with hard to reach parents can also be included in this presentation.
Pink or Blue? Gender Differences related to Learning: Implications for how brain differences can impact learning are included in this very fun and interesting presentation. Awareness of these differences creates the opportunity for you to have a clearer understanding and provide for the optimal development of both boys and girls brains.
Possible Effects of Poverty on Brain Development: Poverty can impede opportunity for children. It's a primary contributor to many risk factors that can affect brain development. While all children are vulnerable to things like inadequate nutrition, substance abuse, maternal depression, exposure to environmental toxins, trauma and abuse, poor quality daily care, and high levels of stress, a disproportionate number of children in low-income families face multiple risk factors, often several of them simultaneously. Your understanding can contribute to better opportunities for all children.
It Takes Attention to Change: The Brain, Behavior and Self Perception ATTENTION! ATTENTION! The brain learns from what we pay attention to. This workshop looks at how the brain affects behavior. With the realizations you gain through this presentation you will learn eye opening ways to have a positive impact on behavior and self perception.
Play Every Day! The brain NEEDS play! (Even as adults!) You will learn the importance of play related the brain. You will also gain ideas for creating fun interactive activities for children in everyday life. This workshop also provides information on the research that reveals why the brain benefits from nature.
Relationships Matter Trauma, stress, abuse and neglect can have a long lasting effect. Through learning how these experiences affect a child's brain, you expand your awareness of the critical needs of children. You may also gain the realization and understanding of behaviors by children (and adults) in your life.

China's national broadcaster has come under fire over its "investigation" into the relatively expensive lattes served by American coffee chain Starbucks and a claim that its Twitter account was used "illegally" to post a controversial tweet about a high-profile politician.
CCTV aired a report on Sunday that it called a "global investigation" comparing the prices of coffee at Starbucks in Beijing, London, Chicago and Mumbai. At $US4.43 for a tall latte, it found Beijing was the most expensive. The report prompted a backlash from Chinese bloggers.
Separately, CCTV was also questioned on social media sites after the broadcaster issued a statement that its Twitter account had been "targeted" and "used illegally" to post a tweet about former public security chief Zhou Yongkang.
On Monday night, CCTV tweeted that Mr Zhou, a former member of China's Politburo Standing Committee (PSC), was being investigated for corruption by a special unit set up by President Xi Jinping.
The tweet followed a similar report in the South China Morning Post, which cited unnamed sources. If true, it would be the first time a former standing committee member was being investigated for corruption.
However, CCTV deleted the message two hours after it was posted. And on Tuesday morning it released a statement saying that its account "was targeted" on October 21 and "used illegally to post incorrect information copied from other sources."
CCTV's report on Starbucks prompted speculation the government might be looking into the coffee chain. In the past, the Chinese government has used state-run media to report about the anti-competitive practices of foreign companies. Such reports would then be followed by a government investigation.
However, Chinese bloggers lambasted the CCTV report over the past few days. One blogger on Weibo, China's version of Twitter, said CCTV had "attempted to tarnish Starbucks' reputation but ended up tarnishing its own, while giving free publicity to the coffee chain."
Another questioned why CCTV had focused on this issue instead of looking at soaring prices for property or relatively more expensive computers and mobile phones in China.
"I don't usually go to Starbucks but now, after this broadcast, I have decided to go twice a week," said another blogger.
The CCTV report prompted Starbucks' group president in charge of China, John Culver, to defend the chain in the Financial Times newspaper. He said the price of a Starbucks latte was close to and in some cases lower than those of its competitors and that the chain's profitability in China was not higher than in the United States.

-ABC transporter- pump small molecules using the energy of ATP hydrolysis
• 3 Na+ ions bind a site on the pump initially exposed to cytosol.
• Na+-binding causes ATP hydrolysis & this transfers a PO4 to aspartate
• Adding PO4 to Asp changes the pump's structure; this exposes the Na+ & K+ binding sites to the e.c. space where Na+ is released & where 2 K+ ions bind the pump.
• K+-binding causes release of the PO4 from the pump & this changes the structure to expose the K+ binding sites to cytosol where K+ is released & where 3 new Na+ ions bind to the pump.
-Atypical ABC transporter
-Cl- channel that is activated by phosphorylation
-flow of Cl- is dependent on the electrochemical gradient, not ATP hydrolysis.

I was walking home on one of the cold days last week, kicking through the crispy brown leaves and inundated by the smells of autumn, when I caught the first whiff of it. The acrid, sulfurous tang from someone in the neighborhood burning coal. And this week the wood smoke, which at least smells better than coal, is starting to emanate from chimneys all over town. The smoke is on its way, my friends, and soon it will fill our valleys and choke our cities, mirroring the absolute failure of state and federal energy policy as Montanans wrestle with outrageous fuel costs in a simple attempt to stay warm in the cold, dark days ahead.
I remember well the sight coming down McDonald Pass when I came to Helena to lobby the Legislature back in the mid-'80s. The town sat in the bowl of the valley—or at least I figured the town was down there—under the thick, gray-brown cloud that covered it.
Having lived in the mountains for years and burned wood for heating, cooking and saunas, nothing made me cheerier than "toasting my buns" backed up to a roaring wood stove in the depths of winter. But in the mountains, there was always a wind to blow away the smoke and none of us in the little ghost town community ever gave it a second, let alone a negative, thought. Rural Montanans burned wood, period. It was abundant, cheap, and if not exactly easy to get, at least it was attainable with a commensurate output of energy. "Wood heats you twice," we used to say, "once when you get it, and once when you burn it."
But communities with tens of thousands of people, tucked into valleys where winter inversions regularly trapped not only the wood smoke but every other pollutant from cars, trucks, industry and commercial operations was quite another thing. Bozeman, Helena, Missoula, Kalispell and Whitefish were regularly transformed from beautiful towns draped in white under the crystal blue skies of winter to gray-brown miasmas where just breathing outdoors, let alone exercising, became a struggle. After all, in Montana you're not supposed to be able to see the air you're breathing.
When things got bad enough, town after town initiated restrictions on burning wood. Study groups were set up, ordinances drafted and passed, and the resultant bureaucracies went out to enforce the new standards. Not surprisingly, it worked, and slowly but surely the air got better.
Now, however, comes the Age of the Energy Empires, where those who produce the energy we need to heat and light our homes are calling all the shots with solid cronies in oil-men Bush and Cheney, and a compliant Congress that bends over backward to make sure they can charge anything they want to get everything they want. The Energy Barons have us firmly by the bulbs (so to speak), and unless you have unlimited fiscal resources—which most Montanans do not—the choice of necessity for many is to turn back the clock and revert to burning wood, or coal, or waste oil, to stay warm.
While younger readers will not remember, those of us with a few years under our belts will easily recall the so-called "energy crisis" of the '70s. It was precipitated by an oil embargo initiated by our "friends" in the Middle East, and quickly led to long lines for gasoline and skyrocketing prices for all other fuels.
Back then, when our nation still had a semblance of vision and concern for the future, America was urged to conserve. The same old lines that are so worn out now were fresh then—we had to, for our own preservation, eliminate our reliance on foreign oil. And so we set to it, driving smaller cars, initiating a 55-mph speed limit, seeking energy efficiency through the insulation of homes and businesses and building designs that took advantage of our single greatest energy source—the sun. President Carter appeared in a cardigan, urging Americans to turn down their thermostats to conserve energy. We looked to Europe, which had high standards of living but consumed much less energy per capita, as our model.
But then Jimmy Carter lost the presidency to Ronald Reagan, who in no way, shape or form could ever have passed for a conservationist. Instead, Reagan introduced us to the policy of "supply side" economics which, simply stated, left conservation in the dust and began the disastrous attempt to drill, mine, and burn our way to a prosperous future. His discredited and infamous hit man for pillaging America's remaining energy resources was Secretary of the Interior James Watt, who never met an oil well or coal mine he didn't love.
As it turned out, Watt's rapacious appetite for trashing public lands finally got him run out of office. But the damage was done. Gone was America's short love affair with conservation and renewable energy. In its place came the new future—of Hummers, McMansions, and a disregard for consumption and pollution that has earned us the scorn of the world as our tiny portion of the global population consumes fully a quarter of the earth's energy resources.
We have blown it, and our payback is on the way. While the Energy Barons struggle to carry their ill-got gains to the bank, Americans are scrambling just to heat their homes. Across the nation, from New England to the Pacific Coast, a new wave of wood, coal and waste-oil burning is rising as homes and businesses seek "alternative" energy because they can no longer afford anything else.
So breathe deeply while you can, fellow Montanans, for a long winter of choking smog, watery eyes and asthmatic children is headed our way as the smoke of our failed energy policy fills our valleys and towns—and our political leaders continue to stumble blindly down the foolish path of "supply side" solutions.

CCSU Launches New MBA Program
CONTACT: Janice Palmer, CCSU Media Relations - 860.832.1791, 860.538.2649,email@example.com
May 13, 2014
NEW BRITAIN, Conn. – Central Connecticut State University's School of Business announced today that the Connecticut Board of Regents has just approved its new Master of Business Administration (MBA) program. This news comes on the heels of the School being awarded accreditation by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB).
Keeping mid-career professionals in mind, students will have the opportunity to specialize in accounting, business analytics, or create an individualized track in their pursuit of an advanced degree.
Siamack Shojai, Dean of the School of Business, lauded the program and pointed to the high quality of the faculty and relatively low cost of attending the program.
"We have created an affordable, flexible, and relevant MBA curriculum designed for the 21st century student, taught by exceptional faculty, and desired by the business industry," Shojai said, and added, "We have all the pieces in place to hit the ground running in the fall and are now accepting applications for the program."
He pointed out that the learning principles of lean management, business intelligence, and globalization will be integrated into the five disciplines of accounting, finance, management, management information systems, and marketing. "Companies today need employees who are both creative and knowledgeable in data-driven decision making," he emphasized. "We will fully integrate modern ways of doing business with the classic business disciplines."
According to Glynis Fitzgerald, Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean of the School of Graduate Studies, the new MBA fulfills a need for students looking for a competitive edge in the business environment. "Our MBA program is another great chance for students to come to CCSU and receive a top-notch education at a reasonable price, and it adds another progressive program to the over 40 graduate programs we currently offer," she said.
CCSU's MBA program is now accepting applications for the fall semester. Students interested in applying or who are looking for more information should contact: Jason Snyder860-832-3251 or go towww.ccsu.edu/mba or email at firstname.lastname@example.com. Follow us on Twitter: @CCSUMBA.

Antarctica island's ice could reveal past, future
WELLINGTON, New Zealand — Nancy Bertler and her team took a freezer to the coldest place on Earth, endured weeks of primitive living and risked spending the winter in Antarctic darkness, in order to go get ice — ice that records our climate's past and could point to its future.
They drilled out hundreds of ice cores, each slightly longer and wider than a baseball bat, from the half-mile-thick ice covering Antarctica's Roosevelt Island. The cores may total 150,000 years of snowfall.
Bertler hopes the material will help her estimate how long the Ross Ice Shelf would last under the current rate of climate change before falling apart.
Evidence from the last core her team hauled out needs further study, but it contains material that Bertler said appeared to be marine sediment that formed recently — at least in geological terms measured in thousands of years.
That would bolster scientists' suspicions that the shelf could collapse again if global temperatures keep rising, triggering a chain of events that could raise sea levels around the world.
"From a scientific point of view, that's really exciting. From a personal point of view, that's really scary," said Bertler, a senior research fellow at the Antarctic Research Centre at the Victoria University of Wellington.
The ice shelf acts as a natural barrier protecting huge amounts of ice in West Antarctica, and that ice also could fall into the ocean if the shelf fell apart. Scientists say West Antarctica holds enough ice to raise sea levels by between 6 1⁄2 and 20 feet if significant parts of it were to collapse.
Bertler hopes the material she recovered will help her estimate by the end of this year whether it will take 50 years or 500 years for the ice shelf to collapse at the current rate of climate change.
Those answers should prove important for policymakers who she said may need to decide whether to build sea walls or move populations to higher ground.

The Montgomery Ward Holding Corporation said yesterday that it planned to close 44 Lechmere, Home Image and Electric Avenue and More stores and cut 3,900 jobs in the first significant step of its plan to emerge from bankruptcy. The announcement came shortly after a bankruptcy judge in Wilmington, Del., approved a $1 billion financing plan from the majority shareholder, the General Electric Company, designed to fuel the retailer's recovery. The moves will let the company focus on its 356 Montgomery Ward stores in a bid to return to profitability. After years of declining sales and earnings, the Chicago-based company filed for Chapter 11 protection on July 7.Continue reading the main story

We know that everyone loves getting a treat on Halloween and that also includes our dogs. I will usually go to Petsmart and get them a new toy or some treats during the after Halloween sale….they really don't care if the toys are black and orange and I get a great discount at 50-75% off. So instead of buying Halloween treats at full price, I decided to make my own. I found a great dog biscuit recipe online and tweaked it a little bit to create a Halloween dog treat recipe.
This Halloween dog treat recipe is really easy. You only need 4 ingredients:
- 1 1/4 cut hot water
- 1/3 cut of peanut butter
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 cup of rolled oats
1. Heat oven to 350°F
2. Mix the flour and oats together in a mixing bowl.
3. Mix in the peanut butter (chunky or smooth) and water into the bowl.
4. Knead the dough until everything is mixed together.
5. Roll out the dough to 1/4 inch and cut out Halloween shapes ( I used a Ghost cookie cutter)
6. Optional: whisk egg and brush on cookies with a pastry brush. This just makes them look nicer.
7. Place cookies on lightly greased cookie sheet and bake for 30-40 min.
8. Let them cool and let the puppies enjoy!
My dogs went nuts over these treats. I like knowing exactly what is in their treats and that this recipe is pretty healthy and doesn't have anything in it I wouldn't eat. Sadie ate 2 and Obi only ate half of one (mainly because Sadie stole his other half). These would be fun to have on hand on Halloween night. Some people take their dogs trick-or-treating with the kids and this would be a nice surprise to have for the dogs.
I was able to make 20 cookies with this recipe and still had a little bit of dough left over. You can decorate them anyway you want, I just left mine plain. Try out this Halloween dog treat recipe and let me know what you think and especially if your dogs enjoyed the treats as much as mine.

For our last PFTV segment of the week, we look at an issue that has been bothering us all year.
Parity is dead.
If you don't believe that, watch today's Colts-Rams game. Before doing so, watch this.
For our last PFTV segment of the week, we look at an issue that has been bothering us all year.
Parity is dead.
If you don't believe that, watch today's Colts-Rams game. Before doing so, watch this.
parity (parody?) is alive and well in my football pool.
If parity is dead, why do different teams make the playoffs every year?
Why each year do new teams, who were at/near the bottom of their divisions the previous year, win their divisions?
Parity is not dead. Most teams can beat any other team in the league. Titans were 13-3 last year and have not won this year. That pretty much shows what parity does. Just a few bad breaks can make or break a team.
Perennial bad teams will always be bad until leadership makes changes.
Free agency allow players to leave bad teams, leaving them bad, but at the same time it allows bad teams to change quickly. If they want to.
Parity is a joke and Goodell at the helm is turning the National Felon League into a joke. Keep watering it down goofball.
I don't even have to watch the video to know that there is no such thing as parity in anything!
There is no business plan, social plan or anything that can make people or entities equal. Parity is a Marxist idea that doesn't work because it doesn't take into account the individuals that are a part of it. There will always be people that run front offices that are much smarter, players that play that work much harder, and coaches that much more innovative that make parity an impossibility.
With the resources and support Jerry Jones has, if he were smarter the Cowboys should have won 5-6 Super Bowls in the 90's. With the resources and support Daniel Snyder has,if he had any kind of football acumen, the Redskins would have won at least one Super Bowl since he took over ownership.
But instead, it is small-to-medium market teams like the Steelers and Patriots that have absolutely run the table for the past 8 seasons… why? Parity? No, because there is no such thing as parity, it's called intelligence. They just happen to be a lot smarter than everybody else.
Please get rid of the auto-refresh on the site, its the most annoying thing.
I registered just to reply to this.
Wrigho40 is correct. I'm tired of hearing all this talk about the death of parity.
Parity doesn't say that every team will finish 8-8. Parity means that the top teams at the end of the year will have a tough time repeating, and the bottom teams at the end of the year will have an easier time next year. Look at the Titans. That is the result of parity. Look at the Bengals. That is the result of parity.
The Lions, bad management. The Browns, same thing. The Cardinals….well, the jury is out on them this year.
Parity gives the bad teams the first draft picks and the easiest schedules. Parity does NOT mean every team will be as good as other teams. That would make for a boring league.
Parity is not dead. Bad management is just more visible in the league this year than in prior years.
Parity is dead? Is that why 2 of the worst teams this year are 2 division winners with first round byes from last year?
Because so much separates the top from the bottom that the best team in football from last year couldn't possibly bring back 20 of 22 starters and become terrible?
Take a look at the teams that have been bad the last few years, most of them have been "stuck" with top 10 draft picks and have to pay a ton of money for these rookies year after year. High draft picks can cripple a team if they don't end up with a franchise type player.
For the most part, success in the nfl is tied directly to the draft, the teams that draft well do well. And if you blow a few first row picks in a row (cough, raiders cough) it sets everything back.
Look at the teams that draft well… Patriots, Giants, Eagles, Chargers etc. These are teams that are always in contention. Now look at the flip side… Raiders, Redskins, Browns. etc.
Parity cannot overcome bad management decisions.
I agree with 'Voice_Of_Reason'. People's panties get bunched up over the misunderstanding of parity, and he summed it up well.
Parity, in the sense of football, isn't a Utopian society where everyone and everything is equal. Not all teams end 8-8; or rather 0-0-16. Don't be idiots. Among the 4 great American sports, the parity in this league trumps. Sure, some teams are better than others, but that is due to other factors, such as chemistry, management, injuries, etc. The determining factor in a league's level of parity is the magnitude (or lack thereof) of their salary cap. In football it is very stringent. In other league's it isn't, and thus those leagues have less parity.
It's a very simple formula – parity decreases as a league's salary cap becomes less strict.
Now that I straightened that out, let's all move to Cuba and get paid the same, regardless of input.
Parity is not dead. What is alive are some comparatively cheap owners and some very incompetent general mangers / coaches.
The teams that hire bean counters without much real football experience to be GMs, the ones that make terrible coaching choices like Zorn, and the ones with owners from a different era that just don't get the modern game (Bills, Raiders, Lions), they are the real problems.
Really love watching Florio on TV!
Although you missed covering a few key points that contribute to the lack of parity.
One, the fact that bad teams have to pay such a massive amount of money to high draft picks to reduce the value of that advantage.
Two, the waiver wire process. The majority of the worst teams have done a bad job of not strategically making claims off of the wire, especially the Lions who have really failed on so many occasions this year. Good prospects are slipping by them all the time and getting picked up by other teams.

Chris was surpassed all my expectations and needs. Not only was he knowledgable, but always available via email or phone. I felt tremendous pressure during the divorce process from everyone but Chris, and this ultimately saved my marriage.
Posted by Vanessa
When my ex husband took me back to court after 4 years, I turned to Christopher Ford to guide me through the ordeal. I was terrified of how long and how stressful the whole process would be. I have to admit, I have NEVER dealt with a divorce attorney and I must say Mr Ford made it very easy. He was always reassuring, fair and logical in every area he covered. I will continue to turn to Mr Ford and his team for any future dilemmas. I strongly recommend him and his team to anyone who is confused, afraid or unsure about the sometimes ugly legal process called divorce.
Posted by Tracy
My family and I highly recommend Chris Ford. When CPS got involved with our granddaughter we hit roadblock after roadblock. CPS did not appear to care about the child but more focused on the mother and we got totally sideways with them. Chris worked with us and them and over a long process we were able to get the case closed and adopt our daughter. The law firm is pricey but it is worth it in the end. We are so glad we picked this law firm.
Posted by Danielle
I hired Chris Ford for my custody case after my son's biological father served me with court papers stating he wanted to see my son after being absent in my son' s life for 10 years. I wanted to hire a lawyer that was very knowledgeable in this area. After talking with Chris about my custody case I felt he was the right lawyer to hire. It was the longest year of my life but when it was all said and done my son's biological father's rights were terminated and my current husband adopted my son. Chris is an amazing lawyer and his staff was very knowledgable and always kept me informed either through email or phone calls.

Prior to meeting with Chris I did an extensive search for the best divorce attorney and even consulted with several of them. Although Chris was highly recommended to me, it was his apparent ethical and professional manner which led me to retain his legal services. In fact, on our initial consultation he was very straightforward with the divorce procedure, while also providing in details of my best and worst scenario. He was very thorough, exceptionally detailed, and his conviction to make sure I completely understood all my options was evident. It was comforting to see how accurate Chris was about everything from beginning to the end of the divorce proceedings. In addition, Chris, Amy, and the entire staff went out of their way to make my divorce a smooth transition even through difficult and complicated moments. He was realistic of my outcome and was proactive of getting things done in a timely manner. Chris and his firm's dedication to my case allowed me to be at ease and I was very confident with their work. He helped me achieve the outcome that was in my best interest and fair. After my divorce was complete Chris and Amy continued to follow up with me, and I know that anytime I need legal assistance I can always depend on them. I have a lot of confidence and trust in Chris and his firm and would highly recommend them for any one going through a divorce as well.

Chris Ford is professional, knowledgable and personable. He helped me with a very difficult family situation in which he was not extremely experienced with. Nevertheless, his hard work ultimately led to a successful outcome and I could not be more satisfied with his representation. He kept me informed and laid out realistic expectations, while still being sensitive to the difficulty of the situation. I would recommend Chris Ford to anyone needing a family law attorney.

In the unfortunate circumstance you need a divorce attorney, I highly recommend Chris Ford. From the start Chris asked pertinent questions, got to the core of my situation quickly and actually listened to me and what I said I wanted for my outcome. I appreciated Chris' abilities to clearly explain the legal process to lessen the stress of the unknown. Throughout Chris kept expectations in realistic perspective for me, and he did not over promise results - though in the end he fought and got for me what I wanted. Also, the staff at Chris' office were topnotch and very responsive to my calls and emails.

He keeps you posted about the process. Yes I got what I wanted:-) My joy was unexplainable when I won and got whatever I needed.

I was not afraid going to court with him:-) I can't thank Him enough for everything He did in my case. He has a very excellent Manager Theresa who is so friendly and professional. Will definitely recommend Him!!! he is the one that you will need! TRUST ME...

Upon my request, a family therapist gave me the names of a few family law attorneys she had heard good things about. She encouraged me to meet with each of them before I made a decision. Mr. Ford stood out immediately. He was professional in every way. My husband of 33 years wanted a divorce. I had been a stay at home mother for most of those years; so spousal support was the primary issue. Mr. Ford walked me through the whole process. He explained everything in a way I could understand. He is extremely knowledgeable. There was not a question I had, that he did not have the answer to. He is honest with you. He earns your trust. He is beyond patient when you have endless questions. He is prompt in responding to emails and phone calls, and he treats his clients with the utmost respect.. His office staff, Theresa, and Kelly, are professional and helpful. They are prompt in responding as well. My close to final court hearing was this week. The outcome was excellent. I started the day though, knowing that whatever the outcome; I could not have had a finer attorney than Mr. Ford. Mr. Friedman was involved also, as my court date approached. He was with Mr. Ford during settlement offers etc.. They were both in court on my trial date. I had only recently met Mr. Friedman, but he knew every detail about my case. I was so very impressed with him as well. You just know that you could not possibly be in better hands. They are an amazing team. I feel so fortunate to have found them.

I first talked with Chris to discuss my options for divorce, unsure of where to start with my case. Chris not only explained all of my options clearly and in a way that I understood them but Chris and Matt were both very self-assured and confident from start to finish. They made me feel like I was going to successfully survive the process. My case did take a long time, but their perseverance and skill produced very successful outcome for me. My marriage was a long marriage and there were a lot of finances to be sorted out. Chris and Matt were able to collaborate with other specialist and research and apply today's law in order to secure my 20 years of wealth accumulation. Through collaborating with other professionals and strategically working my case facts, they were able to secure my finances and bring my case to a resolution that I am very satisfied with. Going into this process, I thought that my ex would get half of everything that I have worked so hard for. However, Chris was able to protect my assets and reveal true separate property by tracing finances back many years. I would hire either of these guys again for any future legal needs and recommend them to anyone who may need their services. They are excellent at keeping clients informed and they are very responsive to any questions or concerns along the way.

... The series finale of Fringe is something no one in their right mind should be looking forward to, but at least we have until February 1 to hang on to the sci-fi show before it fades away forever. *record scratch* Uh-oh. Looks like the end date has been moved up. A few months after Fringe showrunner J.H. Wyman announced via Twitter that the series finale would air on February 1, Fox has released the official word that Fringe will end on January 18 with back-to-back episodes starting at 8pm. Yes, it's sad that this show will conclude sooner than we thought, but I'm totally on board with a two-hour blowout of consecutive episodes. It'll make that Costco-sized tub of grape licorice make a lot more sense if I have two hours to plow through at my Fringe farewell party. [Fox via press release]
... Two days after cancelling Common Law and one day after cancelling Fairly Legal, USA Network has canceled ANOTHER show. The six-episode miniseries Political Animals will not be back for a second season after a lukewarm first run. The show, which starred Sigourney Weaver and followed a D.C. political family, may have been designated a miniseries, but the idea was that if it did well, it would get a series order. Really, it just wasn't a great fit for USA's brand. [TV Line]
... TLC has renewed Long Island Medium for a fourth season, but you knew that already didn't you because a ghost told you so. [TLC via press release]
... Breaking Bad's creator Vince Gilligan recently answered one of those dumb questions where someone wanted to know what show he'd like to see Breaking Bad do a crossover with, and he said Mythbusters. Ask and ye shall receive, Mr. Gilligan! An upcoming episode of the science show will test out the validity of a few scenes from Breaking Bad's first season, including the dissolving of a body and a bathtub with acid. I want to see them prove whether veggie bacon actually tastes like Band-Aids, like Walt Jr. says. [EW]
... If Becki Newton is part of a TV show, it's going to be pushed back and delayed and cut short and run into all sorts of problems, apparently. Newton's latest comedy The Goodwin Games has been cut down from 13 episodes to 7 for its midseason debut, with Fox citing the bounty of comedies it scheduled for this season. The same thing happened to Newton's last comedy, Love Bites, over at NBC. That series was eventually burned off and left in a ditch on the side of the road. [EW]
... Modern Family has cast Gloria's mom. Elizabeth Pena will play Pilar, the woman whose baby came out of the womb screaming "JAAAAAYYYYYYY," in the 12th episode of the season. [TV Line]
... Breaking Bad's RJ Mitte (Walter White Jr.) will guest-star on an upcoming episode of CBS's Vegas. He'll play the younger brother of Nathan and join his bro in a life of crime. [THR]

DOCUMENT: Ontario's transfer proposal
ONTARIO - The $50 million payment offer from Ontario to gain control of LA/Ontario International Airport is part of a $250 million package the city offered Los Angeles to transfer title and operations of the facility.
According to the transfer proposal, Ontario would assume all financial obligations, outstanding debt and liabilities of the slumping facility.
Ontario officials have been pushing Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and Los Angeles World Airports, the agency which oversees ONT and Los Angeles International Airport, to either transfer control of the airport or amend the joint powers agreement between the two cities.
If Ontario succeeded in dissolving its joint powers agreement with Los Angeles, city officials say they would be ready to make the payment. Just where that money would be coming from, city officials are not ready to specify, said Ontario Councilman Alan Wapner.
"We have the money," he said. "It won't take away from the level of service or take away from the general fund."
Wapner said city officials have indicated to him that Ontario has the money but is waiting until its business plan for the airport is complete to release those details.
The transfer proposal was presented to Gina Marie Lindsey, executive director of Los Angeles World Airports, the agency which oversees ONT, in December.
Last month, it was revealed by Lindsey that Ontario had offered $50 million to dissolve the agreement between the two cities.
Wapner said he thought it was inappropriate for Lindsey to release the information.
"We thought we were still in negotiations, we had been discussing it in closed sessions," he said.
But Lindsey sees it differently. The executive director of LAWA said nowhere on the document was it marked confidential nor was it ever indicated to her.
"As for negotiations or terms of transfer, there are no further discussions," she said.
Lindsey said she would be happy to sit down with the city to discuss how to market the airport.
In the proposal from Ontario, the city would be responsible for paying the remaining $75 million in existing debt obligations.
City officials have also agreed to divert $125 million of ONT's future passenger facility charge to LAX. The passenger facility charge is a program which allows airports to collect a separate fee for every passenger. Airports use these fees to fund FAA-approved projects.
"We still have to see if the FAA will allow repayment of that money," Wapner said.
If it were approved, Wapner said Ontario wouldn't be billed for the $125 million until the costs for an airline to do business at ONT went down.
Currently, an airlines pays an average of $11 per passenger at ONT. The airport's fees would have to come down to $6 to $7 per passenger before they started repaying the $125 million, he said.
To help those costs go down, Wapner said Ontario would get LAWA to absorb "employees back to the system." At which point, ONT's cost per passenger could drop to between $8 or $9 dollars per passenger, making it more competitive.
After reviewing financial documents, Lindsey said the $125 million passenger facility charge figure is now about $128 million. At the same time, because the existing debt fluctuates every month, new figures put the debt at $73 million, she said.
She also expressed concerns about Ontario's unspecific timeline for payback.
"I would say, if that's my money, I would be a little worried about being far too unspecified," she said.
Lindsey said she doesn't agree with Ontario's $250 million proposal, adding LAWA has spent about $560 million to build the twin terminals, improve the roadways and install a high-tech baggage system at ONT.
"It's what you do normally for an airport, invest in its success," she said. "I think Los Angeles World Airports and the city of L.A. leaned far forward in investing as much in improvements as they did in Ontario."
During that time, specifically in the 1990s, "LAX was falling apart," Lindsey said. LAWA was diverting some of its passenger facility charges from LAX to ONT. At that time, improvements could have been made to the nine terminals at LAX, she said.
She also denied claims from Wapner that it is difficult to determine a fair market value of an airport.
"There are several methodologies - one might be better than another - to determine the value. One simple method is to determine the value of land in the Inland Empire."
Wapner said Ontario officials are still in negotiations, but now with the Los Angeles City Council. A committee of the council is expected to review the proposal this month, he said.
In the next month, the Ontario City Council is expected to discussed the terms of an airport authority.
For those who may question Ontario's move, Wapner said they need to take into consideration the economic impact to the region.
"What if we didn't? How would we deal with 20,000 unemployed people in the valley?" he said. "When we talk about $50 million, that, compared to the regional impact, is nominal."

The collection is arranged by topic.
Bread and Roses was a group that emerged from various New Left movement groups--Students for a Democratic Society; the draft resistance movement (we had a women's caucus in the New England Resistance that formally emerged early in 1969; it because a consciousness-raising group and joined with other groups to form Bread and Roses); activists who had been in civil rights movement groups in the South and moved back North. Thus, Bread and Roses was one of the "younger branch" founding groups of the contemporary women's movement, as analyzed by Jo Freeman in THE POLITICS OF WOMEN'S LIBERATION. There are two dissertations on Bread and Roses: one by Ann Popkin, written for Brandeis University Sociology Department (she has an article on the group in THEY SHOULD HAVE SERVED THAT CUP OF COFFEE, edited by Dick Cluster), and one by Kris Rosenthal, I think for Harvard University. They were both Bread and Roses members, and some years after the demise of the group (which was in 1971), they interviewed former members, and Ann also did a questionnaire. Maren Lockwood Carden interviewed some Bread & Roses members and observed some of our meetings for THE NEW FEMINIST MOVEMENT (Russell Sage).
As I recall, Bread and Roses was formally named fall of 1969, but meetings that led up to it were held as early as February 1969 (see early pamphlet). Various newsletters are here, a membership list (by consciousness-raising groups; we laughing said it was like sororities at the time, and some of the groups, e.g. the one which Linda Gordon was a member of--she had high movement status we more prestigeful than others), and many position papers. In retrospect, it seems to me that all the writing; the sharing of ideas and debates about various issues (e.g. about women's culture; about the politics of racism in relation to women's liberation; about whether health should be defined as a women's liberation issue), the valuing of poetry (see the anthology enclosed) was a remarkable feature of the group. Many of the members were graduate students in Boston area universities, perhaps one reason for all the writing (among those who have gone on to become writers and scholars: Linda Gordon, Lillian Robison, Meredith Tax, Jean Tepperman--also a founder of 9 to 5 and an active organizer of secretaries, Priscilla Irons, Diane Balser--still a feminist activist in Boston, Nancy Chodorow, Lise Vogel, Ann Popkin, Wini Breines, Shelley Rosaldo, Kris Rosenthal, Phyllis MacEwen. Bread and Roses overlapped a variety of other groups, e.g. radical teachers (Adria Reich among them, and Phyllis Ewen; they founded the journal, RADICAL TEACHER, with others); the journal, RADICAL AMERICA. OUR BODIES, OURSELVES was the eventual result of one of the task forces, on women and health. There were also many classes taught under the aegis of Bread and Roses, including ones on carpentry, auto mechanics, law, self-defense. The politics of the group were distinctively socialist-feminist (although note that the word "feminist" was not in widespread use at the time). The group folded in 1971--the January 27, 1971 memo from "Some Crumbs and Petals" signaled that demise.
2. FROM CELL 16 and FEMALE LIBERATION. A radical feminist group (Dana Densmore and Abby Rockefeller were among the members) in Boston at about the same time--formed earlier than Bread & Roses, as I recall. I subscribed to the newsletter (enclosed), which indicates that in 1971 there was a split in that group when Young Socialists Alliance infiltrated it. (Note by donor)

» Nick Green's 100 Percent Soccer blog
It was a bitter send-off for Chivas USA last fall, another two-game playoff defeat. Worse yet, it was to the rival Galaxy.
But as Chivas prepares for its 2010 season opener Friday against the Colorado Rapids at Home Depot Center, that's not the only playoff memory to spark some agony or prompt motivation for this year.
"The way the season ended the past four years, you mean? Yeah, it's always motivation," midfielder Sacha Kljestan said. "The first games are always important. We've never lost a home opener since I've been here. It's important to start with a win to get us on track, get the fans on track."
A new era dawns for Chivas under Coach Martin Vasquez, the former Chivas assistant who has spent time under Juergen Klinsmann at Bayern Munich.
And Kljestan and defender Jonathan Bornstein, not long ago two young up-and-coming standouts, are now in leadership positions after the retirement of Jesse Marsch.
Out: the business-like seeking of perfection under Coach Preki. In: the bouncier Latino flavor of Vasquez.
"Some guys feel a little freer to express themselves a little more," Bornstein said. "Last year, players were a little more timid."
In practice on Wednesday, during a 5-on-2 drill, Vasquez nutmegged Kljestan. That'll keep players loose.
There is enough of the core of the team that qualified for the playoffs the last four consecutive seasons to build around this year.
There are the two recent acquisitions of defender Michael Umana and midfielder Osael Romero, and now we find out if the younger players being groomed under Preki are ready to step in on a full-scale basis.
"At the same time, it's a new team, a younger team," Vasquez said. "We have a good base but we have three or four new guys who are going to give us a different look. I'm happy with the group, it's been a good preseason and there are some things that once we start playing are going to help us to make sure we are consistent with our tendencies and with our play."
Bornstein will shift to central defense and Mariano Trjullio will take over at left back, but Bornstein will be more of an all-over-the-field type depending on the situation.
Kljestan, who along with Bornstein could be a summer call-up for the World Cup, could play as a wing or in the middle as an attacking midfielder. There is no question what his preference would be.
"I feel it's better for the team if I'm in the middle of the field because I'm on the ball more and trying to dictate the way the games flow more," he said. "Sometimes I felt last season playing wide all the time, I'd find moments in the game where I was lost, not finding the ball at all and not touching it for five or 10 minutes at a time. That was difficult."
The holding midfield spot is the main concern. The middle of the field has been manned by Marsch and Paulo Nagamura, who is now playing in Mexico.
Michael Lahoud, Marcelo Saragosa and even rookie Blair Gavin could be placed in that spot.
"Whoever's playing that holding position in the middle has got to have a nice edge to them," Kljestan said. "It shows that they're not going to be easy to play against at any point during any game."
Goalkeeper Zach Thornton, an All-Star and MLS Comeback Player of the Year award winner last season, returns but once again in comeback fashion. He injured his hip during U.S. national team training, so Dan Kennedy could be the starter in the opener.
One constant: Vasquez has embraced Chivas' physical style, though the Goats might have been a little on the aggressive side in recent years. They've traditionally been among the league leaders in cautions.
"Maybe not to that extreme, maybe not dumb cards or picking up cards for arguing with the referees but if we get cards for sticking good tackles, being fair and making it harder on opponents, then it's OK with me," Vasquez said.

grandparents/grandsons Disney Fantasy cruise: Disney Fantasy Cruise Review by margaret mackell
Overall Member Rating
grandparents/grandsons Disney Fantasy cruise
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: Port Canaveral (Orlando)
Our table servers made dinner so much fun for them by providing math puzzle games between courses and bringing them smoothies from another area.We all found the pools too crowded.Bingo was a big hit for all of us.My husband and i loved the rain forest area of the spa and the 2 hot tubs off of it that looked out over the ocean.I went to boot camp every morning to keep fit.
The salsa and salsa shore excursion was a big hit...salsa making..brief salsa dance lesson..pinata...and swimming and beach time.
We were on the Western Caribbean route.The adult bar areas on this ship are really worth visiting, especially the Skyline bar with its light- up blue ice cubes and very realistic More views of famous cities.This ship is spectacular.It was 100% full, but except for the pool area, we found that we had plenty areas to explore and enjoy. Try shuffleboard on the promenade deck.
One of the best views on the ship is in the men and women's hair salon..almost worth booking a haircut just to experience it!!
Dinner at Remy is a very special experience..but a bit long...and make sure you wear dressy shoes or they comment..i.e no beach type sandals even if they have sparkles!!this is the most expensive ship afloat and the quality shows and amazes.Our grandsons loved it and so did we.We had a great time together at meals and bingo and on shore excursions, and my husband and i had a nice adult time together too.The service was excellent.
On the concierge level, our concierges were unfailing helpful..they even played monopoly with our grandsons while we packed.We will have a wonderful memory thanks to Disney.Next year we are bringing our granddaughter. Less

Cabin review: 11
we had 2 next to one another cabins on the 11th concierge club floor.We connected by taking down a wall on the verandas.The cabins were spacious enough and had lots of closet and drawer space. there was also space under the beds.the beds were comfortable.the veranda had a big curved glass window as well as an open air part....so when there was a lot of wind, it was comfortable.these rooms were across from the spa fitness area which was great for my husband and myself as we went to the rainforest everyday.One floor up was the concierge room and the boys went up there often for a snack.The split bathroom was nice.

i like the fact you get cheaper bingo games to make your money go further as well as the fact you can also meet new friends on the site. One thing oi would say is a downfall is the fact that you don't get the choice to play by yourself the computer does it automatically for you it kind of takes the fun out of it abit. I like the fact that you get specific days to win big money i think there should be days you get cheaper bingo games with large money i feel it would bring more people to play… Read Full Review

I love sky bingo my only complaint is come on guys more deposit bonuses. It is most definitely one of the best virtue fusion sites. I've played them all and sky rule supreme. If they'd give us more deposit bonuses, I would play all the time. They have loads of good promotions and amazing prizes, but you can still play with under 100 players in some rooms,and with really good prize money. Plus unlike other sites they have cheap bingo all night long (all night as Lionel used to say.) All night… Read Full Review

text: Posted August 17, 2013 http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/08/17/chris-christie-vetoes-gun-ban_n_3772966.html New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie ® vetoed legislation on Friday that would have banned .50-caliber rifles from the state, despite backing the same proposal just months ago. In April 2013, Christie recommended banning the sale of Barrett .50-caliber semi-automatic sniper rifles as part of a group of proposals to curb gun violence. On Friday, Christie said the ban wouldn't make the Garden State any more safe, according to Reuters. "Tellingly, the legislature points to no instance of this class of firearms being used by even a single criminal in New Jersey," he said. "The wide scope of this total ban, therefore, will not further public safety, but only interfere with lawful recreational pastimes." Lets apply this to North Carolina: "Tellingly, the legislature points to no instance of voter fraud that could have been prevented by VoterID being used by even a single voter in North Carolina" "The wide scope of this VoterID law, therefore, will not further voting integrity, but only interfere with lawful voting." But for some reason we NEEDED that one! 1 person likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Last week, I wrote my regular column on three films this year that feature women leads, including The Mighty Macs, a G-rated feel-good sports movie that opened last weekend. I'm used to writing about controversy so I almost felt like I wasn't doing my job by writing about something that would be so uncontroversial.Silly me.Turns out that this movie, at least according to some, is "contrary to Catholic teaching and as such [doesn't] deserve our support."Strong words.Lisa Wheeler [f … [Read more...]

Americans love being the fastest, tallest and biggest at almost anything. What else would explain our fascination with the Guinness World Records? According to this expanding repository of strange, inane accomplishments, we've produced the world's heaviest pumpkin (1,810 pounds), the tallest dog (Giant George, a 43-inch Great Dane) and the fastest person to zip herself inside a suitcase (5.43 seconds).
National pride, indeed.
Sadly average Americans don't seem to be as aware about records that really matter. In another Guinness entry — fastest Internet connectivity — the U.S. doesn't come close to No. 1. South Korea leads the world with average broadband speeds above 33 megabits per second (Mbps). The U.S. is lethargic by comparison, at only 5 to 6 Mbps. That's middle of the pack among industrialized countries.
I concede that we're disadvantaged by having so much land area. It won't be easy or cheap to lay fiber-optic cable across the Nevada deserts and Kansas plains. The FCC and other industry analysts have speculated a cost of $300 billion or more for universal coverage that would blanket the U.S. with superfast broadband.
It's little wonder, then, that some smaller countries are ahead of us. For them, deploying broadband nationwide has been cheaper. (South Korea is slightly smaller than Tennessee.)
Coincidentally a broadband deployment in Tennessee is providing early evidence that such investment can pay off. On my recent visit to Chattanooga, I spoke with civic leaders about the city's 1 gigabit per second network available to all homes and businesses. What I learned is the topic of this issue's cover story.
I left feeling that there's nothing remarkable about Chattanooga's circumstance that would prevent others from following its lead. What was required was coordinated teamwork and significant upfront investment — a philosophy the rest of the nation finally might be heeding.
This year, Congress and the White House agreed to pump $7 billion into planning and building a nationwide high-speed wireless network for public safety — a system that law enforcement has wanted for years. Also, the FCC is trying to reform the Universal Service Fund (USF), created to ensure basic, affordable phone service for all citizens, so that it would support the buildout of broadband in rural and underserved communities. In this issue, Contributing Writer Emily Montandon details the controversy the FCC's plan is stirring as the federal government tries to repurpose those USF surcharges that appear on consumers' phone bills.
All these broadband initiatives are expensive, but they're necessary if the U.S. wants to maintain standing as a superpower in the world economy, which is being driven more by online commerce. I want to see the U.S. set a world record for most money spent on broadband. It wouldn't be the sexiest accolade, but it might be the most consequential for our future.

SBA Supports "Hiring Our Heroes" Job Fair in Cape Girardeau
On May 29th, 2013, more than 70 veterans and their spouses turned out for the "Hiring Our Heroes" Job Fair held at the Osage Centre in Cape Girardeau, MO. The US Chamber of Commerce Foundation and the American Legion have hosted more than 500 of these job fairs across the country for veterans of any rank and level of experience since March 2011. This was the first time this event had been held in Cape Girardeau. Over 40 employers, both local and out-of-state, were there to talk to prospective applicants.
SBA was on hand to provide information and resources to those veterans who may be considering starting a small business as an alternative to conventional employment. Angie Wells, SBA St. Louis District Office's Veteran's Representative, and Bill Vickery, Area Manager, were available to answer questions and provide the veterans with materials and contacts to assist them with that process.
SBA's resource partners including the Veterans Business Resource Center, Missouri Small Business & Technology Development Centers, and SCORE, provide counseling services at no charge to those considering opening a small business. SBA also has loan programs that are exclusively available to veterans.
Wells stated "It is an honor to provide assistance to those men and women who have served our country so well and now want to transition into the civilian job force. We want to help them be successful." Dennis Melton, SBA St. Louis District Director added, "Studies have shown that veterans start businesses at a higher rate than non-veterans. Military skills and the discipline required of those serving in the Armed Forces are excellent preparation for entrepreneurship. Veterans tend to have a mission-driven mindset. They're realistic about the time commitment and they don't give up in the face of adversity."

Grateful Dead
Gilmour paid tribute to Wright on Monday, saying his input was often forgotten.
"He was gentle, unassuming and private but his soulful voice and playing were vital, magical components of our most recognized Pink Floyd sound," he said. "I have never played with anyone quite like him."
"Are you kind?"
Sad news indeed!!! Tragic!!
LONDON, England (AP) -- Richard Wright, a founding member of the rock group Pink Floyd, died Monday. He was 65.
Pink Floyd's spokesman Doug Wright, who is not related to the artist, said Wright died after a battle with cancer at his home in Britain. He says the band member's family did not want to give more details about his death.
Wright met Pink Floyd members Roger Waters and Nick Mason in college and joined their early band, Sigma 6. Along with the late Syd Barrett, the four formed Pink Floyd in 1965.
The group's jazz-infused rock and drug-laced multimedia "happenings" made them darlings of the London psychedelic scene, and their 1967 album, "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn," was a hit.
In the early days of Pink Floyd, Wright, along with Barrett, was seen as the group's dominant musical force. The London-born musician and son of a biochemist wrote songs and sang.
The band released a series of commercially and critically successful albums including 1973's "Dark Side of the Moon," which has sold more than 40 million copies. Wright wrote "The Great Gig In The Sky" and "Us And Them" for that album, and later worked on the group's epic compositions such as "Atom Heart Mother," "Echoes" and "Shine On You Crazy Diamond."
But tensions grew between Waters, Wright and fellow band member David Gilmour. The tensions came to a head during the making of "The Wall" when Waters insisted Wright be fired. As a result, Wright was relegated to the status of session musician on the tour of "The Wall," and did not perform on Pink Floyd's 1983 album "The Final Cut."
Wright formed a new band Zee with Dave Harris, from the band Fashion, and released one album, "Identity," with Atlantic Records.
Waters left Pink Floyd in 1985 and Wright began recording with Mason and Gilmour again, releasing the albums "The Division Bell" and "A Momentary Lapse of Reason" as Pink Floyd. Wright also released the solo albums "Wet Dream" (1978) and "Broken China" (1996).
In July 2005, Wright, Waters, Mason and Gilmour reunited to perform at the "Live 8" charity concert in London -- the first time in 25 years they had been onstage together.
Wright also worked on Gilmour's solo projects, most recently playing on the 2006 album "On An Island" and the accompanying world tour.

How can you not love Neil :)
I want to live,
I want to give
I've been a miner
for a heart of gold.
It's these expressions
I never give
That keep me searching
for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old.
Neil, like the dead when i hear a certain can bring tear to my eye. from a memory or just the song it self, i know if i have anything to drink when comes on stages im gonna cry. (no drinks for me that night)
He's doing some really good sets this tour. you definitly will enjoy him. Hope he does On the Beach. peace,pk
