Buon Apps, Wharfebank Business Centre, Ilkley Rd, Otley, West Yorkshire (01943 468458). Meal for two, including wine and service, £80
I published my first restaurant review 22 years ago, and I was literally the one responsible for publishing it, being the editor of the student newspaper in which it appeared. Re-reading it now, I can't quite imagine that anybody else would have considered this to be velvet prose worth sacrificing a tree for. The review was of an Italian in Leeds called Manfred's and it included some rapier-sharp observations. A chicken breast stuffed with spinach was "thrillingly different"; an Italian trifle had "to be seen to be believed". It was, I concluded, very hard to fault Manfred's, "there being few to compare with it in Leeds". We drank a bottle of Soave and ran up a bill for £36 which we didn't pay. This, I graciously accepted, "was not cheap by any stretch of the imagination, until you taste the food, which is worth it". See: I've been apologising for the cost of my dinner for decades.
I had not thought of Manfred's for years, until I was asked recently, by a Yorkshire-based journalist, about my first review. Casually Googling away, I found Manfred. Now closing on 70, he is still at it, cooking the same sort of Italian food, only a few miles outside Leeds, near Otley. In a world dizzy with forward motion, I find that reassuring. I like the idea of people continuing to do the thing they have long done well. And so it just had to be done.
Buon Apps, short for Buon Appetito, sits in a business centre, but one which occupies a handsome space of York stone carved out of old mill buildings, not far from the rush of the river, where branches heavy with spring leaf hang low over the water. As a man who loves a strong narrative, I wish I could now report that hidden away here is something special, serving exquisite Italian food. It's not that, and I can't pretend otherwise. Nothing was thrillingly different. Nothing needed to be seen to be believed. The menu is clearly designed to keep the revenue stream pumping. There are sandwiches, burgers and a whole bunch of things which probably stumbled on to the menu by accident long ago and forgot to leave. But there are also some thoroughly pleasing, very solidly prepared dishes.
We had a very nice lunch. A fine red-wine risotto, the right shade of claret, came with strands of caramelised radicchio, the light bitterness of which had lots to say to the slippery, Parmesan-enriched rice. The salami and smoked hams in a plate of antipasto might have been a little chillier than is ideal, but the ingredients were good. There was lightness to the pasta in plump ravioli of lobster with ricotta, and while there was too much of it, the cream and saffron sauce did its job.
Two decades ago at Manfred's I ordered the devilled chicken, which I remember being a dark and sticky hands-on affair. Here, in an act of nostalgia, I ordered the chicken diavola, which was rather less devilish but satisfying for all that, a fair enough piece of chicken baked in a mildly piquant tomato sauce. There was crisp, oily bread that approximated focaccia, good olives, and at the end a tiramisu that did honour to the name while clogging the arteries. The mostly Italian wine list is a particular joy, being packed with the sort of Italian names which elsewhere cost north of £25 and here were being flogged for £18 a bottle.
Mostly, there was just the gentle thrum of a restaurant which has found a way to make things stack up, and an experienced chef to help them do it. What there wasn't was Manfred himself. Apparently some Icelandic volcano had erupted, trapping him on holiday in Europe. No matter. Buon Apps carried on doing its thing regardless. And the bill? Not quite three times what I didn't pay in 1988. No, not cheap by any stretch of the imagination. Until you taste the food, which is worth it.
Thanks, Manfred. Good to make your acquaintance again.

Now, in The House of Dimon, business writer Patricia Crisafulli goes behind the scenes to recount the amazing events that have shaped Dimon's career, including his rise to prominence as Sandy Weill's protégé at Citigroup, only to be fired and denied the top spot; his orchestration of the JPMorgan acquisition of BankOne, a deal that brought Dimon back to Wall Street as CEO of JPMorgan; and the drama surrounding the purchase of Bear Stearns, which helped avert a government bailout, and the strategic acquisition of Washington Mutual.
Through interviews with Dimon, Weill, JPMorgan board members, and colleagues who've known Dimon over the course of his career, you'll gain rare access to one of today's savviest financial figures. Each step of the way, this engaging book provides insider accounts of how Dimon successfully acquired and integrated companies; reorganized underperforming units; created efficiencies; and grew bottom-line results as the consummate hands-on manager.
Most importantly, Crisafulli places Dimon in the context of contemporary Wall Street - an environment that has destroyed several top CEOs and led to the demise of numerous major financial institutions - and shows you how Dimon's management style, ability to inspire outstanding performance, and talent for taking calculated risks have allowed him to excel where many others have failed.
©2009 Patricia Crisafulli; (P)2009 Audible, Inc.
"Anyone who reads Ms. Crisafulli's fiduciary love letter will take away some valuable lessons in running a bank - or, for that matter, a business." (The Wall Street Journal)
I remember watching Louis Rukeyser on Wall Street Week with Louis Rukeyser on Public Television. Sandy Weil and Jamie Dimon were frequent guests on the show both as interviews and on discussion panels.
Crisafulli covers Dimon's work history but provides very little information about his early life or education. The author provides a brief summary of his personal life near the end of the book. It appears that Dimon is one of the few business men that not only has the ability to do strategic planning but also tactical planning and implementation. In other words, he is able to see the big picture but also able to implement the actions and do the daily operation of a business. I found the detailed discussion of his restructure of Bank One most interesting.
The book is well written and the research was meticulous. My only complaint is there was a bit too much repetition. I found the book most interesting and the information about Dimon during the 2008 recession most informative. Patricia Crisafulli is a journalist and the book is written in the manner typical of an investigative journalist.
Suzanne Toren does an excellent job narrating the book and is a multi-award winning audiobook narrator.
"Great Book... narration is lacking"
The performance was bland and confusing as the narration was changed various times, confusing the listener.
"Story OK, Narration, not so much."
Of 156 audio books in my library, this is the first one that I quit listening to almost immediately. On the second try, I got through a few chapters. I really want to learn more about Jamie Dimon. I may give it another go but the first two times I have tried were very painful. Perhaps, I will read it on a Kindle or paper instead.
Someone who wants a very basic chronology of Dimon's life.
I thought it would be more about JP Morgan

Nabil Abu - Rudeineh, spokesperson for Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, addressed comments made by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu honoring Jerusalem Day on Wednesday saying, "The Palestinian stance, and that of Arabs world-wide is that eastern Jerusalem is the capital of Palestine and there won't be an agreement without that."
Netanyahu early said in his speech that Jerusalem will remain unified under any circumstances.
Abu-Rudeineh also said, "Continuation of this policy conflicts with the decisions of the international community. This has dangerous consequences and is not conducive to creating an opportunity to achieve peace. These statements pose more obstacles to efforts to revive the peace process." (Roi Kais)

Much hype has surrounded the Chevy Volt, expected to start production late this year . The vehicle will be one of the first mass-produced vehicles to claim more than 100 MPG. Of course, what better venue than CES 2010 for Chevy and OnStar to unveil yet one more goody regarding the Volt that most geeks will salivate over.
Chevy and On-Star are introducing a mobile app that will allow Volt owners to have a 24/7 connection with their vehicle via the Droid by Motorola, Apple iPhone or BlackBerry Storm smartphones. Using the app, owners will be able to display current information about the vehicle including charge status, miles per gallon, electric only miles and even odometer readings. In regards to charging, Volt owners will even be able to receive text or email notification for charge reminders in addition to any charge interruptions or when the vehicle has achieved a full charge.
Knowing the status of your vehicle is great, but the Volt app really makes it mark by allowing drivers to actually control vehicle functions such as being able to remotely start the vehicle to pre-condition the interior temperature, lock and unlock doors and sound horn and lights. Once a command is sent the owner will receive a confirmation through the app indicating the command was successful. Aside from remotely starting the vehicle, many of these functions have only been available in the past by contacting an OnStar call center.
If you turn out to be a Volt owner, but don't have a Droid, iPhone or BlackBerry don't worry. A version of the app will also be available via a mobile browser.
Read more at the GM press release.
Brian's Opinion
I'd love to have this car. It really looks like it is a gadget guy's dream. Unfortunately, I don't know if I'm going to be able to float the car's price tag. Though no official price for the car has been announced I have seen reports that it will be around the $40,000 mark.
I would not be too surprised by that considering the argument GM can make to customers that some of the car's investment will be made up in gas not used. Personally, I think a high price tag is to be expected not only for that reason, but because GM will probably only make a limited number of Volts to gauge consumer interest.
The mobile app will definitely peak some additional interest in the car when it begins production later this year. I'm sure GM is hoping the economy continues to recover so that there will be strong sales of the vehicle. Naturally, most drivers who want access to an electric car want demand to be good for the Volt since it would encourage GM to continue production of the model and other car manufacturers to offer their own competitors to the Volt.

QUESTION: I own a set of 10 J. C. Deagan chimes that belonged to St. Mary's Catholic Church in Keokuk, Iowa. The church was built in 1868 and torn down around 1985. My dad obtained the chimes and they have remained in the family. The longest chime measures 67 ½ inches and is a C note. The shortest is 38 inches and is a D note. The brass pipes are stamped: "J. C. DEAGAN, INC. / MADE IN U.S.A." I also have the electronic keyboard and striker mechanism. Do these chimes have any value? I would hate to sell them for the brass alone.
– PS, Aurora, Colo., via e-mail
ANSWER: John Calhoun Deagan (1853-1934), a professional clarinetist, founded the J. C. Deagan Company in 1880. Originally located in St. Louis, Deagan moved to Chicago shortly after the beginning of the 20th century. The J. C. Deagan building at 1770 W. Berteau Avenue, was built around 1912.
Deagan is credited with establishing A (440 Hz) as the standard pitch for orchestra tuning. The Deagan Company made marimba, xylophones and other tube instruments. Deagan entered the tubular tower bells market around 1916, about the same time it acquired U.S. Tubular of Methuen, Mass. The Deagan trademark is now part of Yamaha.
In researching your chime set, I was not able to determine if you owned a set of tubular tower bells or orchestral tubular bells. The Tower Bells Web site notes: "Large tubular bells, cast from approximately the same material as conventional tower bells or drawn (extruded) from similar metal, have been used to make tower music or to serve as bells for tower clocks. The largest such tubes weigh hundreds of pounds. Such bells are not to be confused with orchestral bells (often found in pipe organs) nor with the smaller tubular bells found in some longcase ('grandfather') clocks, even though some manufacturers might have supplied all of these markets."
The Web site has a link to a chronological list of installed sets of Deagan tubular tower bells. I checked the list twice and did not find any installation in Keokuk, Iowa. As a researcher, one learns never to accept any list as complete. Further, St. Mary's may have acquired the chime set on the secondary market. The Web site also lists three firms who offer repair restoration services for Deagan instruments.
The brass scrap value for your set of chimes is less than $50. Their collector/parts value is far above this. To confirm my conclusion, I spoke with Gilberto Serna, owner of Century Mallet Instrument Service (773.248.7733; email@example.com). Century Mallet is located on the second floor of the old J. C. Deagan building. Mr. Serna indicated he would pay in excess of $250 to acquire your chime set.
Beware of falling into the "if he is willing to pay this much, how much is the next person willing to pay" trap. The old trade adage "the first twenty dollars is the easiest and the last twenty dollars is the hardest to obtain" applies. When the buyers' market is limited, the first offer is often the best.
QUESTION: I have a "G.A.R." stoneware mini-canteen. It is embossed "COMPLIMENTS AUG. WENTZ POST NO. 1 / DAVENPORT, IOWA" on the obverse and "26TH ANNUAL ENCAMPMENT / DEPT OF IOWA / G.A.R. / JUNE / 12-13-14 / 1900" on the reverse. "Kinricks Crocery (sic.) Co., Davenport, Iowa" is impressed in the bottom edge. It measures 3 inches in diameter, not including the spout. What is its value?
– PK, Dunnellon, Fla.
ANSWER: Benjamin F. Stephenson of Decatur, Ill., founded the Grand Army of the Republic on April 6, 1866. Membership was open to veterans who served in the Union Army, Marine Corps, Navy or Revenue Cutter Service between April 12, 1861 and April 9, 1865. The Grand Army of the Republic membership exceeded 400,000 veterans at its peak in 1890.
The organization structure consisted of a national leadership council, departments (state-level organizations) and posts (local chapters). Many of the posts were named after local heroes. An annual encampment occurred on the Department level supervised by the Department Commander and his officers. The encampments usually lasted for several days and included formal banquets and memorial events.
The 1900 Davenport Encampment was the second time the city hosted the Iowa G.A.R. Encampment. The first visit was in 1884. The 1900 Encampment took place at Camp McClellan, the site at which many of the Iowa volunteers were mustered into service.
The first Iowa G.A.R. posts were organized in 1874. The organization struggled at first. By 1900, there were 434 posts scattered throughout Iowa. Membership totaled 14,730. As in the national organization, Iowa G.A.R. membership peaked in 1890. Age was beginning to take its toll.
The Davenport Times reported on the event. Thanks to a transcription by Elaine Rathmann, you can read about the event online.
The most commonly found G.A.R. souvenirs from national and regional encampments are badges, medals, programs and other paper ephemera, and pins. Your stoneware canteen is unusual. However, it is not one-of-a-kind. My best guess is that several thousand were made and distributed. Further, it is the type of item that is most likely to be saved and passed down from generation to generation.
An example was sold by Cowan's Auctions at its December 2007 Western & Historic Americana sale. It brought $460, which included a 15-percent buyer's penalty.
The 150th anniversary of the Civil War is fast approaching. Prices for Civil War era memorabilia, including G.A.R. items, are beginning to escalate. Prices should peak between mid-2014 and mid-2015. If you want to achieve maximum value for your item, this is the time to sell.
QUESTION: My uncle worked for a railroad company. He died at age 100. Among his possessions was ¾-inch slice of railroad rail, possibly used as a paperweight. "John Brown Sheffield" is written across the top. "1869 Atlas Steel" appears on the side. Have you ever heard of anything like this?
– GR, Lehigh Valley, via e-mail
ANSWER: Sir John Brown (Dec. 6, 1816-Dec. 27-1896) was a British industrialist, one of whose many claims to fame was as a manufacturer of steel railroad rails. Brown founded John Brown & Company, Sheffield, to manufacture steel files in 1844. Constantly reinventing his company's focus, Brown specialized in the manufacture of railroad conical spring buffers. Brown opened his Atlas Works located in Brightside in 1856. He introduced the Bessemer process. By the early 1860s, John Brown was one of the leading manufacturers of railroad rails. By the mid-1860s, the company became the largest manufacturer of armor plate. Brown resigned from the company in 1871. A series of failed business ventures left him impoverished by the time of his death.
Thanks to Bill McKelvey, Jr., a friend and fellow canal and trolley car historian, I have several examples of canal and trolley car rail in my collection. Railroad rail/track is collected. Most samples range from between one-half and three-quarters of an inch in thickness. There is no standard rule. Less serious collectors use them as bookends, doorstops and paperweights.
Provenance is the issue. Few pieces are marked. Unless they have salvaged the piece of rail that is cut up or know the person who did, collectors take a skeptical approach to provenance. Here rests the problem. The link to your uncle is not sufficient provenance to authenticate the piece. If nothing else, the first question someone is going to ask is: How did the piece of railroad track get from England to the United States?
Your railroad track has two values. Its curiosity value is between $15 and $20. Its historic value is $50-plus. All you need to do is find a buyer who believes.
QUESTION: I have a 1948 Methodist hymnal published by the Hope Publishing Company. Inside is a label indicating it belonged to the Methodist Sunday School of Tamaqua, Pa. Is it worth anything?
– BC, Lehigh Valley, Pa.
ANSWER: It has no value to a Baptist, Catholic, Lutheran, Presbyterian or Unitarian. Your only hope is a Methodist. While there must be collectors of church hymnals, I never encountered one. Further, assuming such collectors exist, every collector who wants a copy of a 1948 Methodist hymnal probably has one.
The music and words remain valid. It might be fun to compare some of the lyrics in a modern Methodist hymnal to those in the 1948 edition. I strongly suspect many have been corrected politically and socially to reflect modern thought.
Keep the hymnal and enjoy it. If you do not want it, offer it to the local Methodist minister. If he does not want it, junk it.

MVLP Serves 6,830 Clients in 2011
Thanks to the help of over 523 attorney volunteers, MVLP was able to serve 6,830 clients in 2011. That figure represents 2,497 clients and those living in their households. Formed in 1982, MVLP will celebrate its 30th year in operation this year. Since its inception, thousands of clients have been assisted only as a result of the participation of volunteer attorneys. We are grateful to each volunteer for the sacrifices they make to make the difference in the lives of others. Without the contributions and support of our volunteers and partners, our program could not have reached out to so many Mississippians in the broader effort to achieve equal access to justice for all.

Gilpin Peak Rock Glacier
|[ Sizes: Orig | Med | Small | Thumb ]
The Gilpin Peak Rock Glacier. Note the wide area in which the rock glacier receives talus. Many ridges, furrows and a steep frontal slope indicate this is an active rock glacier. Glacier erratic is also common in this area, which suggests that it was glacially derived. Image modified by author (Google Earth, 1998).

Series Tied
The Anaheim Ducks' brother act, Scott and Rob Niedermayer, have been bonding on the postseason score sheet.
Scott scored the winning goal in the Ducks' 4-3 overtime victory in Game 2 that evened the Western Conference finals against Detroit. That victory gave Anaheim home-ice advantage heading into Tuesday night's contest against the Red Wings.
Oddsmakers have made Anaheim -175 money line (NHL Odds) favorites for todays game, the over/under has been set at 4.5 total goals (Matchup). Our public betting information shows that 69% of bets for this game have been placed on Anaheim -175 (View NHL Bet Percentages).
Rob opened the scoring for the Ducks, then helped end it when he fed his brother for the winner.
``He sort of gave me a yell, and I just chipped it to him. He made a great shot,'' Rob said of Scott's goal at 14:17 of overtime in Sunday night's game in Detroit.
A couple of games earlier, the brothers teamed to end another contest.
Rob leveled Vancouver's Jannick Hansen to jar the puck loose deep in the Canucks' zone. The puck squirted across to Scott, and he quickly got off a wrist shot from the left point that beat Roberto Luongo for a 2-1 victory in the second overtime.
That win wrapped up the conference semifinal series in five games.
``It's great. The playoffs are a special time for all of us players, and to go through it with Scott like this,'' said Rob, a forward. ``It was special last year, and this run, it's been great.
``It's something we talked about before he made the decision to come here. It was a big decision for him. It's worked out well with him coming here and us playing together.''
Scott, a 33-year-old defenseman who is 16 months older than Rob, left New Jersey to sign with the Ducks in August 2005, deciding to join his brother instead of taking a deal with the Devils that would have paid him more than his four-year, $27-million contract with Anaheim.
``To be able to be on the same team on the same side pulling together, it's been fun, this year, last year,'' Scott said.
``Teaming up for goals, that's neat. Just every day being able to come to the rink together and working for the same team, it's been fun.''
Scott, the 2004 Norris Trophy winner and a finalist this season to be the NHL's top defenseman, has two goals and five assists in the Ducks' 12 postseason games. Rob has two goals and two assists.
Anaheim coach Randy Carlyle said the brothers are quite different on the ice, but similar in outlook.
``They're two opposites, really, in my perspective. One (Rob) is a big winger, puck-controlling, strong skater, strong along the wall,'' the coach said. ``The other guy is more of an effortless type of skater. He floats on his skates.
``Robby Niedermayer has that ability to control the puck in the corner. Scotty is more adept with the stick.''
The two have other things in common, though.
``They both have a burning desire to play the game,'' Carlyle said. ``They both enjoy the game dramatically.''
The coach likes the family tie.
``When you have a brother combination, when they do combine in the effort they displayed last night (in Detroit), it's always a nice tribute to their family, their upbringing,'' Carlyle said. ``It's like a good luck story. There was nobody happier than their teammates for them to combine for the winning goal.''
Although the Ducks gained home ice with the split in Detroit, they expect the Red Wings to be fired-up for Game 3.
``We know we're in for another tough one,'' Rob Niedermayer said. ``Dominik Hasek is playing great and they have a lot of skilled guys.''
Detroit's Nicklas Lidstrom said the Red Wings have to rev up their offense. They were outshot by Anaheim in each of the first two games.
``We have to take more shots, create more chances,'' Lidstrom said. ``We know we have to play better offensively, especially 5-on-5.''
``We haven't played our best game yet,'' Hasek said.
Detroit coach Mike Babcock, the Ducks' coach when they made it to the Stanley Cup finals in 2003 against Scott Niedermayer and the New Jersey Devils, expects the Red Wings to bounce back.
``I don't believe anybody thought this was going to be easy,'' he said. ``Not to take anything away from the other team, but we don't think we have played anywhere near as well as we can play.''
Anaheim left wing Chris Kunitz will undergo surgery Tuesday on his broken right hand and is doubtful for the rest of the postseason.
Kunitz broke a bone late in the opening game of the series against Detroit. Dustin Penner and Todd Marchant helped fill his spot in the Ducks' series-tying, overtime victory in Game 2.
Kunitz had a goal and five assists in the Ducks' first 11 playoff games this year.

Was the receiving corps the weakest unit to last year's Utah State football team?
It's a tough question when the team clicked on all cylinders most of the time en route to the best season in school history. But one must wonder how much of the Aggies' single-season school records for total points, total offense, completions and total yards came because of the arm of Chuckie Keeton rather than the hands of a group whose running back (Kerwynn Williams) was the second-leading receiver. Graduated athlete Matt Austin led with just 48 receptions in his sixth season. Chuck Jacobs may crack an NFL roster for Week 1 but averaged just more than three catches per game.
Austin was apparently an emotional leader, but he and Jacobs' on-field production? Replaceable.
Those with the task is a mish-mash of seniors Travis Reynolds and Travis Van Leeuwen and sophomores Bruce "Jojo" Natson (fans should be excited about him) and Brandon Swindall.
The toughest player to replace may actually be tight end Kellen Bartlett, who earned honorable mention all-WAC honors last season. Senior D.J. Tialavea and junior Keegan Andersen will be responsible.
Receivers coach Javon Bouknight, a former star at the University of Wyoming, returns despite former coach Gary Andersen's departure to the University of Wisconsin. Bouknight is entering his fourth season at the position.
Read about those seeking to be on the other end of Keeton's throws this season:
Rhett Wilkinson is a project manager for UtahPolicy.com and hails the true-blooded Aggies from Utah. The co-founder of magazine Aggie BluePrint.com, he's been an intern for the Deseret News and other publications. firstname.lastname@example.com | @wilklogan
Media have largely ignored Reynolds, a Fort Lauderdale, Fla., native who was just USU's sixth-leading receiver last season but leads returners. He dipped from nine to three receptions from 2010 to 2011 but nabbed 25 last year while Keeton was establishing records.
He certainly arrived in Logan with tremendous credentials. Reynolds (5-foot-11, 180 pounds) earned first-team all-Broward County honors after leading Florida's Class 6A, 5A and 4A in receiving with 48 receptions.
Van Leeuwen's production actually declined last season, when the Provo native's reception count declined from 15 in 2011 to 12 in 2012. As a freshman in 2010, he had 16 catches, so Van Leeuwen must change course if the Aggies hope to replicate last year's campaign.
Van Leeuwen (6-foot-3, 195 pounds) reportedly distinguished himself in the spring, when he had some drops in the camp's finale but was Keeton's top option when feeling a pass rush.
On any account, the former Timpview High School star has 36 career USU games under his belt, so he promises veteran leadership. Coaches already say he possesses a "vast knowledge" of the offense, and head coach Matt Wells has noted his leadership alongside Reynolds.
Look for 2013 to be the coming out year for Natson, a Fort Lauderdale, Fla., native like Reynolds and also a high school teammate. In fact, he may be USU's best receiver. He's reportedly ready for much more after catching 17 passes in 12 games last fall. Now he's added 15 pounds since the spring, bringing his 5-foot-7 frame to 151 pounds — still 30 short of kicker Nick Diaz.
"Still the smallest guy on the team, but with a big heart," he told the Deseret News' Kraig Williams.
Natson has made clear to Keeton that he wants to be a go-to guy in Austin and Jacobs' absence.
"They all know that I can play, that I have heart," Natson said of his teammates. "They can trust me to make plays. They know that I can be that guy."
And don't call him Bruce. He has told the Deseret News that he only goes by his nickname.
Swindall (6-foot-4, 198) played just a minor role last season, with three receptions for 19 yards. That may not change much with the apparent emergence of Natson and the two "Travises," as Bouknight likes to say.
Before redshirting in 2011, the Oklahoma City native was named a Parade All-America after leading the Sooner State with 17 interceptions and playing both ways at Millwood High School.
Tialavea (6-foot-4, 260) may not have yet proven to be a tremendous offensive threat (13 receptions in 26 games), but the senior was arguably a better blocker than Bartlett last season and may rank among the best in the nation this season.
The West Jordan native actually started seven games last season.
The son of the former coach caught three passes in his first 21 games at USU. The long-haired Andersen (6-foot-2, 231), a Juan High School graduate, has acknowledged it was different not to hear his father shouting orders during spring ball but still calls him daily to update him about his play and that of his teammates in practices.
Pushing Andersen is converted linebacker Jefferson Court and sophomore Derek Keller, who saw time on special teams last year.

Synopsis top ↑
Shales and mudstones are the most poorly understood sedimentary rock type. They comprise approximately two thirds of the stratigraphic column and contain the bulk of recorded earth history. In the future, understanding shales will be crucial for a wide variety of studies. Yet, getting a balanced perspective of research on these fascinating rocks is difficult because it is dispersed over so many subdisciplines. The two volumes of this book present up to date research on a wide range of topics in shale geology, and were assembled with the goal to ease access to this engaging field of research. Chapter introductions were written by experts in their field, and are intended to define the state of the art, to provide access to pertinent literature, and to set the stage for the corresponding research papers. Volume I covers basin-scale analysis, sedimentology and paleontology of shales. Volume II supplements this perspective with detailed treatments of petrography, burial history, petrophysics, geochemistry, and economic aspects of shales. The broad coverage of topics should make this book a valuable source of information for those that want to keep informed about current developments in shale research, and a source of inspiration for those interested to enter this exciting field of study.

Simulation Training for Ultrasound Guided Central Venous Catheter Insertion
Principal Investigator: LEIGH V EVANS
Abstract: [unreadable] DESCRIPTION (PROVIDED BY APPLICANT): Resident education has traditionally devoted itself to knowledge acquisition rather than defined levels of clinical competence. Currently, inexperienced physicians are trained to perform invasive procedures such as central venous catheter (CVC) insertion according to the bedside, apprenticeship model, gaining expertise on real patients in neither a rigorous nor standardized manner. Simulators may ease trainees' transition to actual patients and avoid adverse events. The proposed project aims to investigate the efficacy of a structured simulation training protocol in ultrasound guided CVC insertion for resident physicians. The specific aims are to compare: (1) the failure rate of CVC insertion, and (2) the number of attempts at venous cannulation, rates of technical errors and complications of CVC insertion, and time to CVC insertion on actual patients between residents who have completed a structured, hands-on simulation training protocol (intervention group) and those who are trained according to the traditional, bedside apprenticeship model (control group). We hypothesize that the intervention group will obtain superior skills at CVC insertion on actual patients as compared to the control group as measured by: (1) a reduced failure rate at CVC insertion, (2) a) a reduced number of attempts at venous cannulation b) a decreased rate of technical errors and complications and c) a decreased time to insertion based on an independent rater's evaluation using a procedure checklist. This prospective, randomized observational study will include 1st and 2nd postgraduate year residents over a 21 month period at a tertiary care teaching hospital who rotate through the Emergency Department, Medical Intensive Care Unit and/or Surgical Intensive Care Unit. The intervention group will complete a hands-on ultrasound guided simulation training protocol on a partial task training simulator until competence is achieved as measured by (1) knowledge - a score of > 90% on a written post-training exam, (2) performance - a) the ability to cannulate a simulated vein under ultrasound guidance on first pass in 4/5 consecutive attempts, and b) correct insertion of a CVC on a partial task training simulator with no technical errors as observed by an independent rater. The potential long-term benefit of this research project is the establishment of a structured simulation training protocol for ultrasound guided CVC insertion by resident physicians which will improve patient safety and be applicable to teaching hospitals at a national level.

PM jacket comment 'inappropriate banter': Abbott
Opposition Leader Tony Abbott says his recent comment about the Prime Minister's clothing was "inappropriate banter".
A fortnight ago feminist author Germaine Greer told the ABC's Q&A program that Prime Minister Julia Gillard's jackets did not suit her "big arse".
"Every time she turns round, you've got that strange horizontal crease, which means they're cut too narrow in the hips," Ms Greer said.
"You've got a big arse, Julia. Just get on with it."
Yesterday vision emerged of a woman asking Mr Abbott about Ms Gillard's jackets at a community forum in Sale on Tuesday night.
Mr Abbott responded: "Germaine Greer was right on that subject."
But today, Mr Abbott has told Channel 9 he should not have made the comment.
"Well look, it was an off-the-cuff remark responding to an observation of a member of the public," he told interviewer Karl Stefanovic.
"I shouldn't have said it and I regret it Karl - I guess it was inappropriate banter."

Congress members back nuclear power but find little agreement on federal aid to spur development

BOSTON (DETROIT FREE PRESS) -- The Bruins struck back, leaving the Detroit Red Wings black and blue and all tied up.
The Wings were run aground in Game 2, undone by gaffes, undermined by tempers and bad defense and an inept power play. The Wings left TD Garden today tarnished by a 4-1 loss that left the first-round series locked, 1-1.
Game 3 is Tuesday in Detroit, and Game 4, also at Joe Louis Arena, is Thursday. Game 5 is Saturday back in Boston.
Jimmy Howard, fresh off a shutout Friday, made an early error, and then wasn't helped as teammates let Bruins run right through them. The Bruins left several Wings with bumps and bruises, scoring bit hits when they weren't scoring goals.
Darren Helm and Luke Glendening paired up to halve Boston's lead in the second period, but a late goal from Game 1 groin-spearer Milan Lucic forced the Wings to play with a two-goal deficit by the time the third period began. Zdeno Chara made it 4-1 when he poked in Jarome Iginla's rebound during a power play early in the third period.
Howard was pulled with 3:08 to go in regulation, and caught a break when an empty-net goal was called off because Lucic was off-sides.
A harbinger of just how poorly the game went came in the form of an early power play that saw the Wings spend maybe 10 seconds in Boston's zone, otherwise chasing the puck for one failed entry after another. Then came the gaffe of the game: Howard skated way out of his crease to play the puck, intending a pass for Brendan Smith that instead went off Smith and straight to Justin Florek, whose shot sailed past Howard's outstretched right leg and deep into Detroit's net.
The Wings proceeded to do exactly what they'd talked about avoiding: Not giving the Bruins power play time. They gifted them 21 seconds with two extra skaters, and gave up a goal during 5-on-4 play, when Reilly Smith strode into the crease to sweep a loose puck into the net for a 2-0 lead barely halfway through the first period.
The period ended with Chara laughing in Brendan Smith's face as Smith half-heartedly jostled with him, keeping gloves on and stick in hand.
It wasn't until late in the second period the Wings had anything to smile about, but with just a touch more than 6 minutes to go, Helm sped up the right side and fired a shot on net, where Glendening -- another speedster -- had set up in front of Tuukka Rask. Helm's shot ended up going in off Glendening, injecting life into the Wings with plenty of hockey left to have a chance at evening the game.
Only that takes playing tight defense, and the Wings flunked at that minutes later, when Lucic, at that point best known in the series for spearing Danny DeKeyser in the groin, skated straight through a trio of defenders and sent a shot in off Howard's stick to restore Boston's two-goal advantage with just under 2 minutes to go in the second period. It wasn't spearing, but it dealt a harder blow to the Wings.

About the TNF Leadership Program
Twice annually (winter and summer), the ACC, with generous assistance from The North Face, runs leadership courses exclusively for our volunteer activity organizers from our local sections across the country.
Offered in the mountains, these courses enhance leadership and decision making skills that are applicable to ACC activities across Canada. More information about the Leadership Program is available here.
Winter 2017 Leadership course at Lake Louise
The 2017 Winter Leadership Course will be based out of the HI-Lake Louise Alpine Centre in Lake Louise, AB. This central, front country location gives access to a broad range of terrain and slopes as well as facilities for indoor sessions and suits this course perfectly.
Vehicle transportation during the course, guiding, seven nights accommodation and all meals are included in your course fee. Please note that you are responsible for your own accommodation arrangements on the nights prior to and directly after the course.
This will be an intensive, thought-provoking course with lots of learning for everybody. Conditions permitting, the majority of the daylight hours will be spent actively in the field building skills and techniques. The evenings – after dinner and a bit of relaxation – informal presentations and group discussions will be held.
*Please note the course does not cover instruction on basic skiing or first aid.
Course Materials
If you're considering applying for this course, download the following documents:
How to Apply

Selection Criteria:
This leadership course is designed for those members who already have some skiing experience, and may have taken some related courses. The objective of the TNF-ACC courses is to provide leadership training for our Section activity organizers. It should be emphasized that this course is designed to compliment, not replace, technical or leadership training courses offered at the local level; rather, it is an exceptional opportunity for participants from across the country to share a focused learning program.
The following criteria are used when assessing applications:
- applicants must submit a complete application, including all requested references and Section endorsement;
- applicants must have the appropriate basic technical skills and abilities to participate safely in the course and travel through the terrain under professional ACMG guidance;
- applicants should be active, contributing members of the ACC, and have or willing to express a commitment to organizing Section activities once they've completed the TNF course.
Within these guidelines, the committee strives to balance participants' representation of different ACC Sections.
Level of Difficulty
The focus of the courses is to provide training for current and future volunteer ACC section trip leaders. Applicants are expected to have previously organized – and be planning to continue to lead – ACC activities, and have a basic level of technical skill relevant to their learning objectives. Participants are expected to be fit, strong and have confidence travelling on skis in the mountains. We can't stress enough the need for a good level of fitness – participants must be prepared to spend long, consecutive days in the field, building skills and techniques. In the evenings, there will be presentations and group discussions on various leadership topics. For those individuals who live at lower elevations (less than 1000m/3300'), we recommend that you arrive in the mountains a few days before the camp to do some skiing on your own. You will be living at and above 1980m/6500' for the week.

2. We're getting way more of Plutarch Heavensbee. Plutarch's role in Catching Fire is truly pretty minimal, as he has a brief and puzzling encounter with Katniss at the Capitol ball and then re-appears at the end as the secret mastermind behind the rebellion and her escape from the arena. It was a really satisfying reveal in the book, but imagine how much more interesting it might be in the film, watching Plutarch plot next to President Snow for the entire film, only to reveal his true colors in the very end (this is something I assumed would be impossible after seeing The Hunger Games, and I'm happy to have been wrong). Of course, given that Philip Seymour Hoffman was cast in the part we probably should have expected an expanded presence-- but the focus put on him in this trailer, and how excellently he sounds cold and calculating, makes me even more excited for what we'll see from him. 3. They are really embracing the darkness. Despite their young-adult origins, the Hunger Games books get increasingly darker as the series goes on, and this teaser indicates that director Francis Lawrence is not shying away from the seriously grotesque stuff that happens in Catching FIre. The old man being executed for defying the Capitol in District 10, Gale's whipping at the hands of the Peacekeepers-- they're even upping the ante by having Katniss not just step in to save him, but having a gun shoved in her face. And that's only the terrifying stuff that happens before the arena. Brace yourselves for some intensity, everyone.

Professor Thomas Kitwood, psycho-gerontologist, was a leader in the field of dementia care. His research interests were in the details of care practice, and long-term results when care is of high quality. He developed ground-breaking research projects and training courses in an attempt to understand what care is like from the perspective of the person with dementia.
Professor Kitwood developed a training course based on the person-centered approach that takes the standpoint of the person with dementia and Dementia Care Mapping, a method for assessing the quality of care in formal settings. He also developed the "Depth Psychology of Dementia Care" courses, which recount his experience of teaching depth psychology (think Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung) to the dementia field.
The focus of the courses is to encourage students to explore and develop the feeling, emotional and intuitive parts of themselves, thereby enriching personal resources in their work and in their life. Taught nationally and internationally, advancements such as these have helped improve the care of dementia patients in the community and in formal settings across the world.
Professor Kitwood's work was based on the philosophy that one should "treat others in a way you yourself would like to be treated."
The Memory Care Community at Oakdale of La Mesa makes every effort to maintain cognitive function through an implemented dynamic activities program developed by Professor Tom Kitwood that promotes individuality and respects the dignity of residents.
"We have a motto here at Oakdale of La Mesa," said Deanna Meier, sales and marketing director.

Sun Coverage
CARSON CITY – Gov. Jim Gibbons has vetoed a domestic partners bill to give gay couples some of the same rights enjoyed by those who are married.
The governor said Senate Bill 283 "would effectively bypass that constitutional mandate by allowing the rights and privileges of marriage to be bestowed upon non-married persons."
Sen. David Parks, D-Las Vegas, the sponsor of the bill, said previously he would talk with leadership to determine if an attempt will be made to override the veto.
The bill was approved 12-9 in the Senate and 26-14 in the Assembly. A two-thirds vote is required to override the governor's veto.
The governor also vetoed two other bills, dealing with regional planning in Washoe County and setting standards for medical care for state prison inmates.
So far the governor has disapproved nine bills this session and he is starting to catch up with the record of 12 vetoed by Gov. Bob List in 1981. And the governor is just getting the tax bills that he promised to veto.
The domestic partners bill provides couples, either of the same sex or couples of opposite sex who are not married, such rights as community property, responsibility for debts and the right to seek alimony in a split up.
A couple would be required to register with the Secretary of State's Office and pay a fee. The bill says a private and public employer would not be required to provide health care benefits to a domestic partner of an employer.
The governor said the Nevada Constitution, in an amendment approved by voters, provides that "only a marriage between a male and a female person shall be recognized and given effect in this state."
Gibbons said, "I believe that because the voters have determined that the rights of marriage should apply only to married couples, only the voters should determine whether those rights should equally apply to domestic partners."
Voters in 2002 approved a constitutional amendment that a marriage should only be between a man and a woman. Supporters of the bill said this was about contract rights and not about marriage.
The governor said many of the same rights granted in the bill "are readily available today by way of private contracts."
The governor said this veto "should not be taken to suggest that domestic partners are in any way undeserving the rights and protections." He said he recently signed Senate Bill 207, which prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation.
The governor also disapproved Assembly Bill 473, which requires the state Department of Corrections to adopt regulations on medical emergencies and the provision of medical and dental services to prisoners.
He said these requirements are already in the law. He said existing law already requires the director of the Department of Corrections to take "proper measures to protect the health and safety of staff and offenders in the institutions and facilities of the department."
The governor said the corrections director is already required to establish standards for personal hygiene of offenders as well as standards for medical and dental services.
Assembly Bill 473 passed the Assembly 36-6 and the Senate 18-3.
Gibbons also vetoed a bill to require Washoe County to require in its comprehensive regional plan the amount of water that will serve the population.
The governor said existing law already ordered that regional planning in Washoe County must take into effect conservation including the use and protection of water resources. He said this bill is "redundant and unnecessary."
Assembly Bill 119 cleared the Senate 27-14 and 12-9 in the Senate.

Wieters set to return when eligible Sunday
Wieters set to return when eligible Sunday
Wieters (right hamstring strain) was out running the bases -- at what he estimated to be about 80-90 percent -- prior to Thursday's game, and barring any unforeseen setbacks, he will return to the O's lineup for Sunday's finale.
"[Catching] definitely is going to wear the legs a little bit," Wieters said. "But I don't think it will be much of a factor as getting stretched out, the tired factor seeing as I haven't been doing it. So hopefully I've been able to get enough conditioning in the last 15 days to keep it going."
The corresponding roster move for Wieters will cost either Craig Tatum or Jake Fox their spot, and could be a decision based on who has options (Tatum) versus who could potentially be lost on waivers (Fox).
Interim manager Juan Samuel said he didn't think the team could afford to carry three catchers with the current roster being what it is, and there's always a possibility the Orioles could make a trade or a player could land on the DL in the next few days. While Tatum has excelled as Wieters' primary backup, the Orioles would almost certainly lose Fox by exposing him to the waiver wire, given that he can play multiple positions and has been effective, hitting three homers and five RBIs in his first 14 games with Baltimore.


text: Well apart from tinkering with the install, since i'm now studying a motorsport degree, i now have more knowledge of engines and turbo's etc, so I've been intending to do a head re-build on the audi, so i set about it late last year. Started by stripping the turbo and manifolds off for a de-coke and clean out the vanes on the turbo. Then went on an removed the head and stripped it, replaced valve stem seals, cleaned all the carbon from the valves and re-lapped the valves, De-coked all the oil n **** from the ports! and there was a fair bit, loads on the inlet! Once all cleaned out set about giving it a clean and some colour! Head with valves re-fitted n re-lapped ready to be built back up: Complete head with turbo n cat, intake and EGR fitted: Now back to the car to clean the block for new head gasket: As you can see doing the head is a pig of a job on the A6 as the whole front end needs to be removed! New water pump fitted: May aswell get done as it cost £23 for a genuine new one and if it goes i'm not doin this job again so for £23 no point messing, get a new one even though the old one is fine. Head re-fitted and everything all piped back up. New Hydraulic lifters (some may have noticed my car sounding a little tappy - this should fix it!) Camshaft fitted and head all torqued up with new bolts. Thats how she sits at the moment, just need a mechanic to come and time her up properly and then fire her up!

Male, 37 years
Newton, MA
- Primary condition
- First symptom
- Diagnosis
- Deceased
- Nov 26, 2006
About alsking101Stephen Heywood passed away at Thanksgiving of 2006. His wonderful wife and amazing son still live in Newton, MA. Stephen is the inspiration for PatientsLikeMe and his story is profiled in the documentary SO MUCH SO FAST.
Posted by Stephen's brother Jamie... Saturday, November 25, 12:49 PM
Dear Friends,
Friday morning at 5:30 I received the call from Wendy that I have gone to bed each night hoping would never happen. I could tell from the sound of her voice that this one was different. When I arrived, their small street was lit up with the flashing lights of two fire trucks, an ambulance, and a police car. Going inside past Wendy holding Alex in her arms and into his bedroom I found Stephen. His vent had disconnected, his lips were blue and despite aggressive CPR he looked peaceful perhaps with even a slight trace of a smile. I rode to Newton Wellesley with the ambulance driver who also grew up in Newton and remembered Stephen from other visits.
Between Wendy, his caregiver and the EMT's, Stephen had CPR for over 40 min. I don't know if it is because he forgot that he was sick or because his heart is larger and stronger than any I have ever known but it restarted. You could actually see the disbelief on the ER team's faces. You also knew that they were not sure this was a good thing because Stephen's eyes were not responding at all. They wanted to make sure we understood how bad it was but they missed Stephen's point as people often do.
Stephen would tell a joke about wanting to die a heroic death. It went something like this. There would be a fire and he would save someone but it would have be a slow fire with ramps because he would be in a wheelchair. I think he found a way to do that. There is no blood flow to either hemisphere of his brain and he has no EEG signals. Stephen is gone, left in our hearts and in the relationships and structures he built. Stephen was in command of his world and his body at all times and never lived life on anything other than his own terms. Thursday night before bed he sent an email to Ben saying how wonderful our Thanksgiving was; it was a wonderful Thanksgiving. Stephen has kept his body alive so that his family and friends could gather and say goodbye.
As Stephen indicated he wanted to he will donate his organs to others to give them a chance at the amazing years of life that he gave us. Sometime over the next few days if it is possible some very lucky person will get his heart. So he found his slow fire and it has ramps.
Sunday, November 26, 11:03 PM Stephen Update
This morning at 6:30am Stephen went into surgery after being declared legally brain dead. Wendy quietly sang Arms of an Angel by Sarah McLachlan and then we walked him down as a group. His body fought for 2 days to enable him to donate his organs in the best way. As I write this two patients, age 33 and 47, are receiving his kidneys and are being given a chance at life. Stephen's heart stopped at 7:36 am. My family was all together at our parents. Stephen found a chance even in death to help others. He gave so much strength to so many. This does not end here. Together with Stephen's spirit continuing to guide us we will take this disease apart and destroy it.

The buildup of frustration with missing the season's first 21 games — and counting — has not spoiled Matt Carkner's sense of humour, at least.
Asked about Sidney Crosby's four-point explosion back on to the scene Monday, the Senators' toughest defenceman shrugged.
"That's easy. I can get two and two, no problem," said Carkner, who has finally been cleared for contact in his rehab from training camp knee surgery. "We're talking two hits, two turnovers. We'll figure it out."
Also yet to be determined is the exact date of Carkner's return. Next guy to ask him the "timetable" is liable to get a shot in the nose. Not that Carkner doesn't want to give an answer. He just can't.
"I'll come back and play for sure some time this year," he said with a touch of sarcasm. "I'm working hard at it. It's been a long process, we're still making steps forward.
"We're being cautious, and really, really taking our time, letting it heal."
Last year, Carkner wasn't so careful. For a month and a half, he played with a bum knee, sometimes getting it drained right before a game. His effectiveness dwindled.
"It's the physical part right now that I'm working on," said Carkner. "That's the last thing to come. Right now, the skating is coming pretty well. I want to be 100% comfortable.
"Today we were doing a little bit of body contact with (assistant coach) Luke (Richardson) at the end. I'm easing in to all of that. I want to be physical out there. Kind of the last step we're taking now."
Coach Paul MacLean said Carkner is going to get some time to be a "full participant" in practice now.
"I would say within the next two weeks, if not before," MacLean said of Carkner's expected back date. "We want to make sure everything is in good shape with him and he's ready to go. We're at Game 21 ... it takes a little bit to get caught up. We want to make sure he's ready to go before we get him in there."
The Senators will surely have to make a move on an overcrowded blue line when Carkner is ready to go. Rookie David Rundblad has been a healthy scratch for four games, since playing in the team's last regulation time loss Nov. 11 in Buffalo. He's been replaced by Brian Lee.
"The biggest part for that is Rundblad's play without the puck struggled," said MacLean. "Brian Lee went in and played real well, and the team played well. The team continued to win, and Brian Lee's play didn't go down. It elevated. He played the way he needed to play, and over this last stretch of the time, Brian Lee has been a better player, so he was in the lineup. And for those two guys, that's the way it's going to be."
Meanwhile, Carkner brings a dimension the Senators require.
"Toe drags and no-look backhand passes are the two things I'm really working on," he said. "Slowly but surely, I'm making 50-foot backhand saucers back door, so that's the game plan to get me back on the PP."
Yes, they need his toughness.
G Craig Anderson practised Tuesday and should be ready to play when the Senators visit Pittsburgh on Black Friday. Anderson missed Sunday's game in Vancouver with a stiff neck that could have been brought upon by the way he had slept. "Just didn't feel like I was anywhere near the place I wanted to be, to play," he said. "I had a hard time looking over my shoulder. Just a lot of stiffness. We've been on the road a long time, with all the travel and the different bedrooms and pillows and whatnot. Just one of those things where you wake up and things just aren't right. Just didn't get any better." ... RW Chris Neil was on the treadmill Tuesday and is expected to practise with the Senators Wednesday at the Canadian International Hockey Academy Arena in Rockland. He has missed the last five games with a sprained ankle ... At 10-9-1, the Senators are losing their ability to surprise opponents. "Since we were picked to be 15th (in the conference) I suppose we have snuck up on a couple of teams, but that's not going to last forever either," said MacLean. "We're just trying to gain some respect around the league and we believe at this point we're getting that a little bit at a time." Added captain Daniel Alfredsson: "I don't know if people knew what to expect from us. But I think by now everybody has seen the way we can play, and I don't think anybody's going to take us lightly. I think they know we're a team that's going to work hard for 60 minutes, We're not going to give anybody anything easy. That's kind of what we want them to think."

Before--and after--swine
No Code
Pearl Jam
Epic Records
Pearl Jam's rep lies with two songs off its unbearable 1991 debut--marketed as "hard rock" till "alternative" came to mean "alternative to good music," which then fit the Jam like torn flannel and made them millionaires. One is "Jeremy," about an alienated kid who offs himself for attention; the other is "Alive," about an alienated kid who's distraught because Mom wants to screw his brains out. The albums after--not to mention the one-off singles and Crazy Horse impersonations--solidified the marketing plan but not the myth. They sold in the millions, but why? Maybe Hootie knows.
No Songs is Big Humorless Rock for the post-grunge, post-taste era, prefab alternarock with more Eddie Vedder "poetry"--"I'll be playing with my magazine/using up my Listerine/like Ovaltine"--screeched over bombastic, pallid rock and roll that lacks the conviction of its cause-free cause. It's mellow drama, obtrusive words decked out in a vinyl skin that looks tougher than it actually feels.
If you like this story, consider signing up for our email newsletters.
You have successfully signed up for your selected newsletter(s) - please keep an eye on your mailbox, we're movin' in!
Vedder wants to know your pain as much as he wants you to feel his, but this is No Abbruzzese in a nutshell:Eddie doesn't like drugs ("another habit like an unwanted friend"), he's happiest when he's sad ("Don't it make you smile when the sun don't shine"), and he leaves you to figure out the rest ("I was bitten/Must have been the devil/He was just paying me a little visit"). Carry on, my wayward Eddie: a big weight's on your shoulders, but you sure aren't idol Pete Townshend. Townshend wrote poetry that read like prose and rocked like a beaten man. He may have been full of shit himself, but he made his point; Vedder prefers to growl the ellipses, hoping you'll fill in his blanks.
Kurt Cobain was right when he dismissed Pearl Jam as hollow commercial "grunge": Green River might have held the copyright, Mudhoney might have perfected the formula, Nirvana might have made the best burgers, but Pearl Jam took the franchise public. After millions and millions sold, Bar Code is as lifeless as it comes:It doesn't estimate punk, doesn't go off like Vs. or go odd like the by-comparison-avant Vitalogy, and makes a big sound that signifies a lyric sheet.
For a band that has made a career out of being a righteous warrior, its members get little blood on their hands. Their hard-core ("Lukin") is by-the-numbers; their ballads are by-the-way; and their anthems ("Who You Are," especially) are by-the-wayside. Their gimmick (code) is having no gimmick (code)--which is, of course, the biggest gimmick (pose) of all.

Good Points
Great Price (for a Multiregion) 599 Pounds (+20 for shipping from http://www.kkelectronics.co.uk/ ). Awsome Metal Case for Speakers and Unit (much sturdier than cheap plastic casing). Pleasing to the ear (and eyes).
Bad Points
Speaker Cables (for the price and quality of the speakers) should have been gold plated / Oxygen free, but RicherSounds or any good HiFi stores should carry replacement (monster) audio cables.
General Comments
My wife likes it, so it was easier to justify the expense.
It plays most of my MP3 files (except for the MP3Pro files). Also, the Remote Control can be programmed to control any popular TV brands (Sony, Toshiba, Thompson, etc...).
It's well worth the upgrade (price difference) from the Sony DAV-S 550 (if you are an audiophile).

ok, so hubby meet up with the real estate agent on sunday and didn't like him. didn't like the inside of the house either. so he came home and found a house listed under remax. he's used to dealing with them and we plan to see the house tonight after the kids get out of school and he gets off of work. this
isn't a question, but please wish us luck on getting this place.
(he didn't like the guy because in order to buy a house from his company you have to go through his loan company. and as i posted in other questions, his brother is our loan officer.)
