I see sometimes on GaG people getting upset over perceived negative stereotypes but if somebody stereotypes a group of people in a positive light they jump right on board with it. Do you think any kind of blanket statements about a group of people is the same or do you pick and choose? Can people take it on a case by case basis or does stereotyping whether you consider it positive or negative just encourages more stereotyping? Anyway I'd love to hear you guys discuss that.
I'm interested to hear from you GaG.
Most Helpful Guy
I don't have a problem with either positive or negative stereotypes as long as they are true, and not misused.
By true I mean it applies to a significant portion of the group in question. It wouldn't even have to be a majority, just significant.
By not misused I mean two things. First it can't used as a form of prejudice. It can't be used to pre judge an individual. Second, even if it's true, if shouldn't be used as a weapon or tool to stir hate or animosity against a group.
I don't think there is anything wrong with acknowledging the differences between people. There are too many people who walk around on eggshells afraid to acknowledge the differences between races, nationalities, ethic groups, religions, or whatever. There really are differences so why not admit it? Some people are so afraid of being labeled racist they can't even talk about many subjects.
I have never once in my life met anyone who took insult to acknowledging differences or asking question about them. As long as the discussions and questions are genuine and non-judgmental most people are glad to give their view about it.10|11|0

Didn't see much for me, which after recent spate of surprise acquisitions, is probably no bad thing, but I was stuck to a stall, there was a fair bit there though, and seemed well attended.
Looking forward to the next one already
As usual a very good event. Nice to catch up with a few people!
And yes we came away with some goodies for the Meteor...
Restoring Meteor NF.14 WS788, one rusty nail at a time...

Officially now a pensioner
Agreed, I thought it was a good'un, but in my experience, the Spring one usually is, whereas the Autumn one can be patchy.
Lots of people (well, up to noon anyway....), some good stuff on the stalls and lots of chat.
I bought a Universal Bombsight Mounting Bracket, suitable for most of the wartime sights. Not seen another one for a long time.
The weather was kind too after some pretty unpromising forecasts earlier in the week.
On the down side I missed NAM's own clear-out stall by the Wessex. Are the stores now empty, TO?
The garage that keeps on giving
Yes a good number of buyers and sellers.
Special thanks to Howard for his help with a Wessex question.
Thanks to everyone for the kind words, which will be forwarded on to everyone involved at NAM!
Brief update added to the event thank you on NAMs website.
[05.03.17 update] - yesterday's sale saw near record visitor levels attend - only 16 people fewer that the best ever visitor figures to an Indoor Aeroboot sale at the museum; thank you all for attending!
Blue_2 it was good to chat & pleased to facilitate assistance on NF14 viewing. Photos will follow via email.
Junk Collector sorry there was not much for you.
Air Ministry I left at 1.30pm to fulfil some family commitments & as I signed out there were still buyers arriving at NAM who specifically asked about the sale (packing-up time issues seem to have been addressed). The better than forecast weather really helped although on grass overflow parking was not possible. NAM is still going through non-accessed stores items; NAM stall cancelled Wednesday due to illness & lack of suitable replacement NAM volunteer. The tables were reallocated to 2 sellers off the waiting list. Most likely outcome is that the NAM stall will be back at 14th October sale.
smirky pleased to have helped with the Wessex access, fetching the key was good exercise. Access provision for similar enquiries / assistance was also provided to Venom NF3, Meteor NF14 (as above) and with an engine enquiry!
Good to meet a few other people yesterday on what was a pleasingly busy day!
No worries, been around long enough to know you can't win them all. As I said given recent outgoings it does me no harm

* Main index rises 1.71 points, or 0.01 pct to 11,865.21 * BCE biggest positive influence after strong results By Alastair Sharp TORONTO, Aug 8 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index was little changed on Wednesday after two sessions of strong gains, as a jump in BCE Inc shares on solid earnings and a dividend boost helped offset declining energy companies. Second-quarter profit for BCE, the parent of Bell Canada and the country's largest telecom company, beat expectations as wireless and media arm growth spurred the company to lift its full-year earnings outlook and dividend payout. Its shares gained 3.8 percent to C$44.87, the single biggest positive influence on the index. "There is still a huge demand for yield and Bell will hit that category," said Paul Hand, a managing director at RBC Capital Markets. Research In Motion Ltd also gained, rising 5.1 percent to C$7.69 a day after an analyst suggested the BlackBerry maker could revive talks to license its new operating system to Samsung. The gains helped offset the impact of weak data from major European economies Germany and Britain, which contributed to the commodity price declines that hurt Toronto's resource-heavy index. Among the heaviest weights were Enbridge Inc, down 1.5 percent at C$39.42, Suncor Energy, which dipped 0.7 percent to C$32, and Transcanada Corp, which slipped 0.9 percent to C$45.66. By 10:59 a.m. (1459 GMT) the Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index was up just 1.71 points, or 0.01 percent, at 11,865.21. On Tuesday it closed at its highest level since July 4. Shares of Silver Wheaton Corp rose 4.7 percent while HudBay Minerals Inc was up 1.8 percent on a deal that will see Silver Wheaton help finance the development of HudBay's Constancia mine in Peru in exchange for the right to purchase precious metal byproducts from the base metal miner.

From the powerful torrents of Scotland to the flatlands of East Anglia, Griff barges, canoes, swims, walks and sails his way along this often hidden network which has been the life-blood of the country.
In London Griff explores the relationship between cities and rivers and discovers the vital balance between water coming in - and waste going out. Heading north, he travels from Liverpool to the Humber across Britain's working rivers. In Scotland Griff travels east upstream from Kinlochleven into one of the most remote areas of the country and follows the fast and furious course of water downstream to Perth. In the West Country he follows the mighty Severn from its source in the Welsh hills to the estuary 200 miles away. And in East Anglia he sees the extraordinary contrast between the man-made ditches of the Fens, the Swallows and Amazons country of the Broads and the picturesque windy river Stour which finally leads him home.

2012 Buick Lacrosse GS Spied
These spy shots of a purported 2012 Buick Lacrosse GS struck us as a tad strange, but hey, GM did make a Cadillac CTS-V Wagon, so why not do another niche performance luxury vehicle?
The most obvious visual difference are the Opel Insignia OPC wheels, which make the Lacrosse's dowdy sheetmetal look pretty mean. The rotors and calipers are supposedly larger than stock, giving us hope that this is the real deal and not a GM employee vehicle customized by someone with good taste.
No word on engine choices, but with the demise of the Cadillac SRX Turbo, maybe GM's supply of 2.8L V6 twin turbo engines will head to Buick. We can only hope.

Catch up time
First of all, over there on the left, I'm pretty proud of this one.
It's a painting of Matthew the Raven (from the Sandman comics) - he took me months as he's a big old fella (about 5 feet tall, see blurry pic of me below for scale) – and I thought I might never get him finished. But I got there in the end – yay! - and I have proudly hung him at the top of the stairs.
Next up, a couple of circle journal pages:
This first one was for the Stay At Home CJ over on Collabor-Art – the theme was Mermaid Tales ….. you can see the whole gallery of everyone else's entries here
And the second was for the Fabric CJ I'm a part of over at UKScrappers. The theme, as you might have guessed, was cupcakes. Very much not my usual style this one! But I enjoyed the needle felting element, it's always fun to get stabby!!

Oh that's a fab post, the cupcake is fab. Strangely this blog posting didn't pop up on my blogger reading list which is odd, in fact it's not appearing when I check what's on your blog - but don't understand why, thankfully it appeared on your facebook profile so I found it, wonder how many other blog posts I've missed recently due to the same problem - mmmm

Sorry jtrylch13, I'm new to this. What does 'EQ' mean?
I'm with you -- assuming a pass.
I queried Peter Steinberg yesterday and got a request for a full today.
As do my happy/nervous dance of joy and panic, I want to plug the Squaw Valley Writers' Conference, which I attended in 2013 and where I met Peter. Squaw has a huge commitment to supporting its attendees. The rule is that if you meet an agent there, you need only mention in the subject line "I met you at Squaw" and your query gets treated as though it were a referral (i.e., it goes to the top of the slush pile). It doesn't guarantee you rep, and I'm biting my nails now that I know he's going to read my whole manuscript, but it's so nice to see that promise being kept that I wanted to get the word out to my fellow AWers to consider attending the Squaw conference (which is one week in the summer every year).
The other agent I met there was Michael Carlisle, and I'm going to query him today.
I believe Stephen Barbara's moved to Inkwell. That might be why Foundry took him off the site.

Ports along Australia's east coast, including Melbourne and Geelong, face 12-hour shutdowns next week as tug boat engineers vote to strike.
The workers plan to walk off the job on Tuesday and Wednesday in strikes that are likely to prevent coal carriers, fuel carriers and bulk carriers from entering key ports.
Tugs are needed to manoeuvre carriers into position at container wharves.
The industrial action comes amid an escalating stoush between the tug boat engineers' union and tug boat operator Svitzer Australia over the company's push to have its crews covered by a single workplace agreement.
Martin Byrne, secretary of the Australian Institute of Maritime and Power Engineers, said the engineers had long been covered by a separate agreement that recognised their different skill sets, duties and work conditions. He said the looming strikes would have the greatest impact at ports in Melbourne, Geelong, Newcastle and Sydney, where Svitzer is the sole provider of carriage services.
"We want to be in a position where we can be assured that the conditions particular to engineers are within our purview and influence, and won't be traded off by others" Mr Byrne said. "We have said at every step in the process that we want a separate agreement."
Mr Byrne said cruise ships, defence vessels and port emergencies requiring a tug response would be exempt from next week's strikes.
In documents filed with the Fair Work Commission this week, a majority of almost 200 Svitzer tug boat engineers voted for a range of strikes including for 24 hours, 48 hours, one week and unlimited durations.
Svitzer said a four-year enterprise agreement covering all tug boat crew members would provide stability and certainty and had the in-principle support of the two other unions.
"AIMPE has chosen to put all that at risk," a spokesman said.

I observed how this caused a ripple effect and impacted all areas, their family, work and enjoyment of life. I became very aware that people needed support outside my treatment clinic and that fundamentally meant changing their habits and beliefs. My practitioner training was extensive over numerous modalities (Osteopathy, Acupuncture, Naturopathy, Kinesiology) and many years and yet my greatest teachers were my clients. As a Practitioner, University Lecturer, Examiner, and Clinician for many years, I witnessed people and students struggling from all walks of life. I know from experience that awareness is the first step to resolving anything in life. If you want to grow and evolve Udemy is a great place to start. We all appreciate the need to keep learning and it's healthy to challenge our beliefs and patterns. Having been named in London's Top 50 Health gurus of 2007 it opened up many speaking engagements and similar opportunities. From that point I was asked to run courses and deliver presentations on many subjects. It was great fun and I enjoy teaching or presenting. My primary clinic was in Chelsea, London, which attracted a broad range of people. From A list celebrities, professional sportsmen and women, Business people, Mums and Dads, Babies and Teenagers. I started to realise they all had one thing common, they wanted a great life. My passion has always been Human Potential which is why my Foundation is called The Potential Club. The question that people asked without asking was "How do I improve myself? What will it take to achieve my potential?" In a nutshell, people are my fascination and my greatest teacher, and I look forward to working with you. Potential Club is a non Government, not for profit organisation and our primary focus is brain injured children.

I successfully winded the transformer to have the necessary voltage to the front.
Thanks to Wahab!
I knew I connected something wrong because before I unwounded a transformer and I got the req. voltage.
Now I got 48.6V on both side. Each side needed 12 winding. So I took of half of the 10M wire I winded on and still it was enough to get these voltage.
Today I printed out the layout.
I did some minor mode and the printer has to be set up to get 174x74mm size(how it is with that frame)
Please use the paint program, printer set up 90%.........
I do post the final layout if someone interested on the amp to build it.
Before I built several symmetrical amps with lateral power mosfet. Like Zenquito, Profet, Grand Mosf (not tested yet)
At first I did like the Profet a lot. So I invested about $500-600 in Caddok resistors, EXICON, Class D mosfet orig Hitachi (because Renesans does not has the same sound quality, I tested) , PIO capacitors, pure silver wire etc. I wanted a Stereo bridged amp to get some extra power and extra dynamic.
Now when I spent that money (and built some BJT amplifier like my Darligton amp or NCC200 clone) I no longer like the sound of the Profet.
What a waste of money!
These should be different sound wise.
Hardly can wait to get the PC boards and components and start the tests.
Thanks one more time wahab!!!

What I wanted to write great to have these project (even I have to invest some to get the components) I can use those laterals I purchased..
These case not all my investment wasted.
I do believe (I hope based on wahab sim) these amp will sound better than those Symmetrical amps mentioned my previous post.
All do the Grand Mos was not tested yet I do not have much (interest) hope after the Profet or the Zenquito tests because these amps come from the same designer!
Not bad amps just not my taste, they are very speakers selective and some other reason ..
I feel lucky and happy to have these project, already had the heatsinks, transformer, matched power mosfets, JFes etc..

Can you post a schematic of your projected power supply.?
Such high voltages and avalaibles currents are of concern.....
hence they are more sensitive to the components quality but even
expensive parts wont compensate for the inadequacy of the front
ends in respect of the power devices driving requirements ,
so they will be easily outmatched by amplifiers using average parts
but high negative feedback ratios , wich is the case of this one....

Wahab I winded (connected) the transformer exactly how you advised.
The voltage measured is with out load! When I power up the amp I believe I will get the right voltage or less specially the 48.6V is in series with the 40V which will be loaded 300-350mA/channel.
If I take of one wind from the added 12 I get 47.5V or less. The wire must end on the same side where are the high power wires, also has to be outside because the mounting hardware.
Would you like a schematic from the whole PS or from the transformer?

A last minute find.
A 100nF cap should be connected in parralel with the cascode 5.1V zener
this will improve the cascode stability.
Since it has only 5.1V across it , a 50/63V MKP/MKT is largely enough.

to connect the windings to the rectifiers.
The 40V windings must go to a 30A or so bridge rectifier
while the 47V windings goes to a 3 to 5A bridge rectifier ,
the capacitors of both rails using of course the 0V as common rail.

Yes wahab that is how I plan to connect it.
On the PC board I will test it both way. Using the resistor to separate the HC and the LC ground.
And I test it with out the resistor direct connected the LC ground from the front PS or I will test it I ad the resistor between the HC and LC capacitor ground.
Before I ad the 100nF cap just want to be sure you wrote about these Zener.
Not 100% part of the cascode (goes to the Base of the VAS)
Out of the list of the transistors the Toshiba 2SC3423 and complementary available on the best price.
Is that OK to be used everywhere? The Sanyo cost around 4X that much.

Provided the HC and LC grounds are connected to the power supply ground
star point , wich is the good way to get rid of any noise running in the actual signal ground , this resistor become useless.
connected to the bases of Q8/Q7.
NPN and PNP, there will be no difference as they are excellent devices.
I just want to warn you that Q7 dissipate 1.2W ,double the power
dissipated by Q8 and Q10 wich dissipate each 0.6W , while Q9 dissipation
is negligible , all the burden in this side of the VAS being beared by Q7 ,
hence its higher dissipation.
So make sure that Q7 has an adequate heatsink , moreover if it s thermaly
coupled with Q8 , wich will make 1.8W for the total amount of power dissipated
by a common heatspreader.

Thank you
Yes I plan to use one a large TO220 heatsink on Q7 /Q8 and Q9 /Q10.
All transistor and J fet will be thermally coupled accept Q5/Q6 cascode transistors.
The J fet didn't came out face to face but I'll use silicon grease & heat shrink on them. Sometimes I used to use heat shrink and that hot glue.

Q3/Q4 dissipate 0.075W each and need no heatsink while the input stage
current source Q11 dissipate 0.17W and should not need a heatsink although
i would put a very little one , something like a 1cm2 plate.
I updated the schematic with the added 100nF capacitors.
Also , i replaced the two diodes connected in parralel with C4
by two random transistors wich are used as diodes , each one
having its base connected to its collector , no need to update
your PCB since theses pins can be connected together directly.
Any small signal transistors will be adequate , just find a NPN
and a PNP in your devices trash bin , they do not need to be real
complementaries and their specs , set apart that the cheaper
the better , dont matter at all.
I add a schematic that show how the rectifiers are connected
to the transformer and will follow with some sims comparing this amp
with one wich has a nearby topology and is quite popular as "good sounding"....

In Episode 1x21, The Greater Good, Charlie is walking down the beach while carrying Aaron and singing a little tune...
The itsy bitsy spider went up the water spout. Down came the rain and drowned the spider out.
Hurley is quick to interrupt Charlie and correct him...
Dude, it's washed. Washed the spider out. Unless it's come kind of British version?
This simple, touching scene in Season One foreshadows Charlie's drowning at the end of Season Three. But, if it really does allude to Charlie's death, then perhaps it also is a clue that Charlie's death - and maybe others - isn't so much of a death as it is a washing. And if it is a washing and not a permanent death, at least for some, what does this mean?
We've already been teased with the idea of resurrection on the island. Sayid was dead and "rose again." The episode 316 resonated resurrection throughout and made us believe initially that Locke had risen from the dead, though we discovered later he was an impostor. We're still not sure what has happened to Christian. None of the Losties should have even survived the plane crash if 815 really did "cartwheel through the jungle." In the alt timeline, Jack has been waking Locke up from his sleep in the hospital. And Patchy (Mikhail) - remember how he seemed to die a thousands deaths before he "rose again" just once more to detonate the grenade that ultimately drowned Charlie?
And speaking of Charlie's washing and its allusion to resurrection, Charlie is alive in the alternative timeline. How are those alive in the alternative timeline going to "leave" with Desmond if they are dead in the original? Sayid, Sun, Jin, Charlie, Ana Lucia, and others are alive in the alternate, and Desmond seems bent on "unplugging them from the matrix" (at least those who are ready) and getting them back to the real world. How do you merge timelines when a character is alive in one and dead in the other?
Maybe that clue was left in Charlie's washing as well.
Think about the symbols surrounding Charlie's death. He died in the Looking Glass Dharma station. This alludes to the mirrors we have seen all throughout the alt timeline. Charlie had just entered the secret code to disable the jamming signal. The secret code was Good Vibrations and was "designed by a musician." In the finale, it seems that the alternative timeline will perhaps reach its resolution with music - at the benefit concert at the museum, where everyone will be gathered together at once. The piano, a consistent symbol throughout LOST, was also the instrument that Charlie dreamed about. In that dream, his mother says, "Save us, Charlie. Save us all." And Charlie played the piano while in the water.
Perhaps in the finale we will see and understand how all of our favorite characters have been washed. Makes me think of all those times Locke found himself caught in the rain. He didn't run like everyone else did. He lifted up his eyes and his hands and welcomed the water. And our new Jacob - Jack - he became the leader of the island when he drank a cup of water - right after Jacob washed his hands (thanks @Annied for pointing that one out).

Summary of the Workgroups Feature
This Hosted PBX feature is directed at large organizations with multiple departments and/or branch offices. Segmenting the system into workgroups allows for each department to customize the system, for their own organization, while having the assurance that other departments or branch offices will not be impacted. Accompanying the Workgroups feature is an enhancement in the flexibility of assigning permissions, specifically allowing a department or branch manager to modify aspects of the phone system related to his or her own department or branch.
Original Need
Integrated and Autonomous Office Locations
A NJ-Based Real Estate Company with multiple offices across the state being served by our cloud based phone system originally introduced the need for Workgroups. The unification of their offices under a single phone system provided many efficiencies. This allowed them to dial by extension from all of the locations, and use other features of the phone system, as if they were all sitting within the same building. There are many distinct features, like extension- to- extension dialing and transferring, that need to be fully integrated across all office locations.
There are other aspects of the system that they needed to be expressly segmented by office location. For example:
- Different offices have different office schedules which determine when the closed message will be played, and when the call will be routed to available personnel.
- Some offices open and close based on an automatic schedule, other offices are manually opened and closed by dialing a feature code.
- Branch Managers need to be able to make changes to how calls are routed through Call Queues or Hunt Lists, and only for their own branch.
- Branch Managers need to be able to add, remove, and change extensions as employees come and go, and only for their own branch.
- Calls are recorded for quality assurance. Each branch manager is responsible for reviewing call recordings, and only for their own branch.
To address these needs we developed the workgroups feature. For each branch office we created a workgroup. We associated all of the users, extensions, telephone numbers, call queues, etc. with their respective workgroups. We assigned a branch manager administrator permissions within their respective workgroup. This had the positive effect of empowering the branch managers.
Ultimately the phone system is a tool to assist your business. Managers need access to the controls of the system to tweak them in ways that improve the operational efficiency of the company. Workgroups deliver that operational efficiency to branches and departments and even smaller groups of employees.
Workgroup Details
- Users / Extensions
- Virtual Extensions
- Call Recordings - Create a workgroup and add any number of employees to that workgroup. Then select an administrative user and grant that user permission to listen to call recordings from only that workgroup.

Wedding Bouquet And Creme Bouquet
Decorating By preciosa225 Updated 17 Oct 2008 , 5:45pm by iluvjay829
Can anyone please tell me if these are the same thing with different names? I was told that Creme Bouquet also goes by the name of Wedding bouquet but I am not sure and want to confirm before making SugarShack's icing recipe....
Hi, there are two different flavours. You can buy them from Global Sugar Art.
This is made B & B only. This has a bit of Almond flavour to it.
Magic Line Creme bouwuet is the best and it has more lemony and Vanilla flavour to it.
No they are differnt you can buy cream bq from cake decorating store or from Southern Homes AND Gardens if they teach wilton classes it's a yellowish color were the wedding is pure white Sharon tells you were you can buy this in her dvd. cream bq is like an lemon flavor.
Thanks for clearing that up for me. I almost made the mistake of assuming they were the same thing.
What does the wedding bouquet taste like?
bobwonderbuns, wedding bouquet has almond flavour to it.
Okay. I just bought the Princess bouquet from LorAnn and it has an almond/cherry flavor to it also. Thanks!
Wedding bouquet to me tastes like the traditional wedding cake. A bit of almond, very yummy. It is strong, so I would add a little at a time.

Whittlebury Vacation Packages
Whittlebury is a great place to stay in Northamptonshire as a large number of the area's star attractions are within easy driving distance. The Milton Keynes Museum and the Canons Ashby House are just two of the popular places to discover here. If time permits, be sure to also visit the Shenley Leisure Center and the Central Milton Keynes Shopping Centre.
Visitors to Whittlebury, looking for something a little out of the ordinary, will love the cultural attractions nearby. To experience Northamptonshire's vibrant arts scene, book a show at one of the acclaimed performance venues such as the Milton Keynes Theatre in Milton Keynes. If you enjoy art museums and galleries, enjoy the local artwork and other exhibits at the Northampton Museum and Art Gallery in Northampton.
Sights such as Northampton Guildhall in Northampton make great places to visit while you are in the Whittlebury area,. Those with a passion for religious history should visit the All Saints Church in Northampton.
Go to Market Square in Northampton to scratch that shopping itch.
Nearby Sixfields Stadium, Northampton is the perfect place cheer along with fellow lovers of soccer, and to see local favorites, the Northhampton Town FC, in all their glory. Make sure to wear maroon and white, the colors of the Northhampton Town FC.
At the end of a long day enjoying the charms of Whittlebury, recharge your batteries at one of the area's bed-and-breakfasts, hotels or short-stay apartments. For a good night's sleep it's hard to go past the Jurys Inn Milton Keynes, the Hotel Novotel Milton Keynes, and the Ramada Encore Milton Keynes.

Family Dog
a game by Imagineering Inc.
Platform: SNES
It's a dog's life -- day after day, just gettin' by. Wishing that you could jump right up and bite the hand that teases you? In Family Dog, you play an adorable mutt who's terrorized by his young master, Billy. You're not out to save the world -- just survive. But the crackpot kid and a host of household nasties make life awfully ruff in this comical, side-scrolling, action game from T.H.Q.
Give that Dog a Bone
You have to search the house for puppy-style power-ups, including Dog Biscuits for barking power and Bones for extra life. As you go, bark away the enemies and obstacles to rack up points. Make it through every room in the house, and lucky you, the family goes on vacation, taking their awful son with them. Unfortunately, they send you to a nasty kennel, where you're in for the ultimate fight for survival.
ProTip: Hidden shelves in the Living Room hold life Bones and extra Barks. To find them, jump as high as you can on the first couch, then leap right toward the flying book.
You'll have a ball watching this high-jumping puppy. His comical moves and facial expressions will keep you in stitches. Unfortunately, there just aren't enough of the entertaining animations to keep gamers wagging their tails.
What can you do when your bark is truly worse than your bite? You bark a lot, and it's no feeble bow-wow-wow for the hero of this show. This puppy lets out a resounding, "Rowf!" Throughout, the music and sound fit well with the humorous (though sparse) animation and graphics.
The controls are simple, but they can be imprecise when jumping onto small objects. Though some levels are too difficult for a beginner to tackle, experienced gamers will have no problem.
More! More!
Family Dog's clever graphics and sound make this game a comical romp. Though a larger repertoire of animation, graphics, and sound effects would have improved the game, this dog's a bone-a-fido hero.
- In the bonus round don't run in the direction that Billy throws the ball. Ti catch it, run the opposite way through the house.
- When the dog starts sniffing the ground, dig into the carpet to find a treat.

- SENEA's revenue growth has slightly outpaced the industry average of 3.7%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 6.8%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displayed by a decline in earnings per share.
- Net operating cash flow has increased to $45.49 million or 44.00% when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, SENECA FOODS CORP has also vastly surpassed the industry average cash flow growth rate of -18.05%.
- The current debt-to-equity ratio, 0.59, is low and is below the industry average, implying that there has been successful management of debt levels. Despite the fact that SENEA's debt-to-equity ratio is low, the quick ratio, which is currently 0.69, displays a potential problem in covering short-term cash needs.
- SENECA FOODS CORP has experienced a steep decline in earnings per share in the most recent quarter in comparison to its performance from the same quarter a year ago. The company has suffered a declining pattern earnings per share over the past two years. During the past fiscal year, SENECA FOODS CORP reported lower earnings of $1.23 versus $3.56 in the prior year.
- The company, on the basis of change in net income from the same quarter one year ago, has significantly underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500 and the Food Products industry. The net income has significantly decreased by 126.0% when compared to the same quarter one year ago, falling from $3.91 million to -$1.02 million.

STOCKS TO BUY: TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified a handful of stocks that can potentially TRIPLE in the next 12 months. Learn more. TheStreet Ratings rates Seneca Foods as a hold. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, good cash flow from operations and largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including a generally disappointing performance in the stock itself, feeble growth in the company's earnings per share and deteriorating net income.

All I Ask of You is the love song for Raoul and Christine in the movie/musical "The Phantom of the Opera." In the song, Raoul offers to protect Christine from anybody when she feels fright because of her experience with The Phantom. They also profess their love for one another which the Phantom overhears and then becomes angry, jealous and heartbroken. The reprise talks about the Phantom's lament and after hearing Christine and her boyfriend/fiancee sing once more, he vows to make Raoul regret his decision to fall in love with Christine.
Lyrics Edit
Raoul : No more talk of darkness, forget these wide-eyed fears; I'm here, nothing can harm you, my words will warm and calm you. Let me be your freedom, let daylight dry your tears; I'm here, with you, beside you, to guard you and to guide you.
Christine: Say you'll love me ev'ry waking moment; turn my head with talk of summertime. Say you need me with you now and always; promise me that all you say is true, that's all I ask of you.
Raoul: Let me be your shelter, let me be your light; you're safe, no one will find you, your fears are far behind you.
Christine: All I want is freedom, a world with no more night; and you, always beside me, to hold me and to hide me.
Raoul: Then say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime; let me lead you from your solitude. Say you want me with you, here beside you, anywhere you go, let me go too, that's all I ask of you.
Christine: Say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime.
Together: Say the word and I will follow you. Share each day with me, each night, each morning.
Christine: Say you love me ...
Raoul: You know I do.
Together: Love me, that's all I ask of you ... Anywhere you go, let me go too Love me, that's all I ask of you.
Lyrics(Reprise) Edit
PHANTOM:I gave you my music . . . Made your song take wing . . . And now, How you've repaid me: Denied me And betrayed me . . .
He was bound to love you When he heard you sing . . . Christine ... Christine ...
RAOUL and CHRISTINE: (offstage)Say you'll share with me One love, one lifetime . . . Say the word and I will follow you . . . Share each day with me, Each night, Each morning . . .
PHANTOM:You will curse the day You did not do All that the Phantom asked Of you . . .!

Not so long ago — well, maybe it was pretty long ago, I did a little write-up on Yamaha Slide Oil. Give it a look, I'll wait. Why do I bring it up? Well, there's a good article about this Yamaha mixture at The Reforming Trombonist that is well worth reading, both because of the Yamaha stuff and a certain other lubricant.

April & Jazz Appreciation Month
Well, it's been a while since there have been any posts here. To make matters worse, your's truly has allowed most of Jazz Appreciation Month to pass without any jazz appreciation represented here. Thankfully, though, there's still time. There's always time. I think Albert Einstein said that.
For some (really) belated jazz appreciation, let's go back to nearly the beginning of the previous century to a little thing called Livery Stable Blues, recorded by The Original Dixieland Jass Band for Victor in 1917. In these early days of "jass," this sort of music was supposed to be somewhat comedic. The nascent recording industry used this idea of fun, novelty, and "jass" to "get over" with a popular market. In the case of Livery Stable Blues, this also meant — in part — a barnyard tie-in featuring musicians imitating animal sounds. Arguably, this constituted a disservice to both the animals and the humans. Other ODJB titles: Barnyard Blues, Ostrich Walk, Bow Wow Blues, and Skeleton Jangle.
Similarly constructed bands of this time played a music that musicians mostly identified as "ragtime," and which didn't need to be "funny." The non-comic musical influence was coming from musicians like Joe "King" Oliver, whose band wouldn't record for another six years.
Happy 2014
Happy New Year to all those who came by this website in 2013, and even those who didn't. Sorry Commander Trombone wasn't updated more often. I'll endeavor to do something about that this year. Maybe a nine part series on trombone slide lubrication? Or slide maintenance? It's a simple process, really, but you're going to need a belt sander and your own lathe . . .
Slide Hampton Plays Tadd Dameron
A book of solo transcriptions by Mike Medrick
Mike Medrick's book of Slide Hampton solos features Slide's improvisations over the compositions of Tadd Dameron, including The Scene is Clean, Sid's Delight (aka Tadd's Delight), If You Could See Me Now, Lady Bird, The Squirrel, and Hot House.
Mad About Tadd, an album featuring Slide Hampton and the Heath Brothers, is the recording most of these solos come from. You can get Mad About Tadd on iTunes or at Amazon.
As has been mentioned here before, in the 80s I was fortunate enough to attend The University of Tennessee for music school. It has to be admitted that my first university ensemble was the Pride of the Southland Marching Band. While that was a life-transforming experience, I was soon on to greener pastures in UT ensembles that were 1) more edifying, and 2) actually more fun.
One of these ensembles was the UT Trombone Choir, which played in both the jazz and western-art-music traditions. It was directed by the trombone professor, Don Hough. Importantly, in the recent past previous to my joining the trombone choir, that ensemble had achieved a remarkable claim to fame by playing and performing with legendary jazz trombonist Slide Hampton. There was a cassette tape of the resulting UT Music Hall performance that was passed from trombonist hand to trombonist hand (no mp3s then, you ungrateful kids). On the basis of everyone's experience with Slide's visit, it was apparent that he 1) was pretty cool, 2) was also one of the most avid practicers in jazz, on the order of John Coltrane or Booker Little, 3) was a pretty amazing practitioner of the style of jazz referred to as "be-bop" on the slide trombone, 4) and had considerable skill as an arranger and orchestrator.
Mike Medrick, a soon-to-be trombonist chum who joined the Trombone Choir a short time later, also thought Slide was great. We'd often discuss jazz recordings. J.J.? As much as you could get your hands on. Slide on A Day in Copenhagen? A must-have. Mike was (and is) an avid arranger, and he soon was writing for both the trombone choir and UT jazz ensemble.
In the jazz program at UT run by Jerry Coker (did I mention this? The jazz department was run by Jerry Coker!), we did solo transcriptions for Coker's Jazz Styles and Analysis class. Through Jerry, it became clear to us (if it wasn't already) that one of the best ways to learn the nuts and bolts of jazz music is to listen to, take note of, and study what has been performed by the great practitioners of the music.
Now, just like in Back to the Future, a fair amount of time has gone by, and quickly. But the great lessons and ideas are more like constants. Accordingly, my friend Mike Medrick is back from the future with a wonderful book filled with Slide Hampton solo transcriptions. If you are any sort of musically literate student of jazz — not necessarily a trombonist — this book is well worth investigating. (See the sidebar for how to get a copy.)

The year's best movies involved crimes exposed and the bittersweet triumph of justice
The best movies of 2015 were about crimes exposed and the triumph, although only partial and bittersweet, of justice.
And the movies right behind them were from the durable science-fiction genre. One of them has attracted a lot of publicity lately.
"Spotlight" (religious), "Trumbo" (political) and "The Big Short" (financial) exposed high-level corruption and cynicism, and gave us people to root for in the battle against these forces.
"The Martian" (optimistic science-fiction), "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" (revival of a legendary science-fiction/fantasy franchise) and "Ex Machina" (pessimistic science-fiction) remind viewers of how science-fiction, one of the oldest of film types, can still surprise, shock, amuse and enlighten in a seemingly infinite variety of ways.
Before listing the top 10 films of 2015, an acknowledgement of a landmark and a reboot on the Berkshire County film festival scene.
The Berkshire International Film Festival celebrated its 10th anniversary this past spring. Documentaries were the strength of the lineup, with "Cartel Land," about a citizens' uprising in Mexico and Arizona against regional drug lords, now attracting Oscar buzz.
The Williamstown Film Festival, renamed "WFF Presents: Wind-Up Fest," celebrated nonfiction through documentaries, podcasts, long-form journalism and other mediums, under new managing director Sandra Thomas. She succeeded Steve Lawson, who stepped aside after 15 successful years as executive director.
The Top 10
1. "Spotlight"
The story of how The Boston Globe exposed the priestly abuse scandal and cover-up in the Boston Archdiocese, "Spotlight" is more broadly about how institutional arrogance and abuse of power can poison everything it touches.
The movie is honest about how The Globe as an institution was part of the problem until an outsider, new editor Marty Baron, pushed the staff to pursue an ugly story dropped in its lap years earlier. It then emerges as an old-fashioned newspaper justice story, with The Globe's Spotlight team battling foes in the church and the community and poring through dusty archives in work that isn't glamorous, only of critical importance, especially to past and maybe future victims. With financial cutbacks throughout the news industry, it is the kind of work that may now go undone.
2. "Trumbo"
Blacklisted because of his Communist sympathies in a paranoid post-World War 11 America, screenwriter Dalton Trumbo (an excellent Bryan Cranston) fights back through subterfuge (he writes Oscar-nominated scripts under a pseudonym) and by outlasting or outwitting his foes in Washington and Hollywood.
While the movie is a period piece, substitute Muslim for Communist and take note of how our current mean-spirited social and political climate is not much different from that of the late 1940s and early 1950s.
3. "The Big Short"
Witty, imaginative and infuriating, "The Big Short" is based on the true story of how a few Wall Street insiders and outsiders saw how the mortgage bubble was about to burst in 2007 and tried to profit or survive by betting against it.
Just about all the players are cynics or hypocrites, but unexpected heroes emerge among the carnage. Distressingly, we are left knowing that a greed-based economic collapse could happen again — and probably will.
4. "The Martian"
An astronaut left behind on Mars (Matt Damon) must find ways to survive until his crew and the team back at NASA can rescue him. An homage to science, teamwork and good old American can-do spirit.
5. "Star Wars: The Force Awakens"
J.J. Abrams returns to the analog approach of the first three legendary "Star Wars" films and gives audiences a fun and gripping space opera that returns the luster to a series dulled significantly by the three wretched prequels.
While there is a "Star Wars: The Next Generation" tone that could have been avoided with a little more ambition, the movie sets the stage for follow-ups that could be epic.
6. "Ex Machina"
An icy, unsettling sci-fi thriller in which a modern day mad scientist and his unwilling protege trip over the rapidly disappearing line between an evolving humanoid and a human.
Alicia Vikander, remarkable as the android Ava, emerged from the movie as a star.
7. "The Walk"
Joseph Gordon-Levitt plays French high-wire artist Philippe Petit in this film about Petit's 1974 walk between the towers of the World Trade Center. A wry comedy as well as a caper movie, "The Walk" would make half of a great double-feature with "Man On Wire," the 2008 documentary about Petit's remarkable "walk."
8. "What We Do in the Shadows"
A group of vampire pals in modern-day New Zealand deals with the peculiar challenges of their condition, all while being filmed "Office"-style by a documentary crew. Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement are the co-stars, -writers and -directors of this hilariously inventive, low budget gem.
9. "Shaun the Sheep Movie"
In the latest from the stop motion geniuses who gave us the "Wallace and Gromit" movies, the supporting sheep from earlier films take center stage as a bored farm animal whose attempt to shake up the farm has unexpected consequences.
Like its predecessors, the movie is packed with wonderful Rube Goldbergesque calamities and witty sight gags, is beautiful to behold, and contains plenty of heart and wisdom.
10. "Black Mass"
Martin Scorsese's "The Departed," in which Jack Nicholson unofficially played Boston gangster Whitey Bulger, stole the thunder from this official story about the sociopathic killer. Nonetheless, Johnny Depp is a creepy Bulger, and the focus on the corrupt FBI agent who allowed Bulger to literally get away with murder makes this film a good companion piece to "Spotlight."

Calcuttas civic authorities and the citys traders are headed for a showdown over a proposed hike in the enlistment certificate fee, or trade licence, from Rs 10 to Rs 2,500. The gravity of the situation can be judged from mayor Subrata Mukherjees assertion that he will not baulk at effecting the hike, and the traders responding with a threat of an indefinite strike.
They (the traders) are not here for social work. They conduct a business to earn profits. They are welcome to keep their establishments closed as long as they wish to, Mukherjee said on Thursday, adding that the strike will not affect the people.
Mahesh Singhania, of the Federation of West Bengal Trade Associations, however, said the traders would consider the option of a strike from January 16 if the civic authorities did not initiate a discussion on a downward revision of the proposed licence fee.
The Jyoti Basu government, of which present chief minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee and finance minister Ashim Dasgupta were a part, had promised in the Assembly to respond to our demand. Accordingly, the Calcutta Municipal Corporation (CMC) and Bengal Municipal Act were amended in 1989, Singhania pointed out.
The mayor said he would not consider operating a low licence fee in a growing metro like Calcutta. The current fee of Rs 10 held good 65 years ago, but no longer. There are many unemployed youths in the city and if the traders keep their shops closed, these youths can take to selling wares, the mayor asserted.
The civic body, said Mukherjee, will impose an annual charge from the traders, which will include the trade licence fee and other taxes like water supply and conservancy. This will increase transparency in the system and traders will not have to pay bribes, Mukherjee added.
The Federation, on its part, has squarely blamed the Left Front government and the Trinamul Congress-controlled CMC for letting the problem reach a flashpoint. The traders claimed the Jyoti Basu government had promised them that they would have to pay only a professional tax and Rs 10 for the enlistment certificate. Supporting the mayors demand is a breach of contract on the part of the state government, Singhania added.
The traders are also agitated over a number of other issues, like non-receipt of renewal application forms and not being able to renew any licence without paying exorbitant bribe.
The Federation has demanded that traders be allowed to renew licences by bank payments to check corruption.

There are a number of important considerations to make when creating your checklist to buy a car.
A well thought out checklist can help you to hit the ground running, and reduce the risk of paying over the odds for your next used car.
You may picture yourself zipping along in a fancy convertible, but if you have a growing family it's probably not practical. Establishing your lifestyle limitations helps you weed out the non-starters.
Once you've built a top ten vehicle list, it's time for some tough love. Can you actually afford them? Remember to include insurance, registration, regular maintenance and running costs when making this decision.
Beware rock-bottom prices – particularly if you're making an online car purchase. Common sob stories include 'I've been laid off', 'The previous owner died', and 'I need to sell quickly as I'm unwell.' Test these tall tales by asking about payment methods. If they only offer wire transfer, run.
Where possible, call in the professionals to inspect the used car you have your eye on. It may have previously been written off and repaired, which could make it a less attractive asset.
Purchasing a CarHistory Report can quickly and comprehensively establish a vehicle's history including theft, storm damage, flood damage, write offs and doctored odometers.

Gers still targeting SPL pair
Ally McCoist has refused to give up hope of luring David Goodwillie and Lee Wallace to Rangers.

Ally McCoist has refused to give up hope of luring David Goodwillie and Lee Wallace to Rangers.
The Gers boss is determined to land the SPL pair as he prepares his squad for his first season in charge at Ibrox.
And although Cardiff and Hearts have also been linked with Goodwillie, McCoist has maintained his interest in the Dundee United striker
"I wouldn't say it's dead in the water," he said. "The interest certainly isn't dead in the water.
"Our representatives have spoken with Stephen Thompson at Dundee United so there has been dialogue, although there has been no offer made as yet."
Second bid
Hearts have already rejected a bid for left-back Wallace and McCoist said there could be an improved offer for the Scotland international.
"I would be hopeful of that but I can't tell you any more than that because I haven't had a chance to speak to (Rangers owner) Craig Whyte today," he said.
"There is a little bit of a gap in the valuation of the player between the clubs.
"I'll have a chat with Craig and see what we want to do but I make no secret of the fact that the first bid has been rejected and Lee is a player we would be keen to get here."
