A group of businessmen established the Telegraph Newspaper Co. Ltd in Brisbane in 1871, and on 1 October the following year the first edition of the Telegraph was published. This afternoon newspaper would survive for more than 115 years.
The Telegraph began as a broadsheet of four pages with a cover price of one penny. The print run for the first edition was just 200 copies. The first editor was Theophilus Pugh (1831–96), a remarkable figure in the early history of Queensland and the publisher of Pugh's Queensland Almanac (1862–1927).
The Telegraph was originally published from premises near the corner of George and Queen Streets in Brisbane. In 1891, a striking Italianate edifice was constructed in Queen Street to house the newspaper and provide professional offices in the city. It was designed by George Cowlishaw who, with his brother James, played a leading role in the company's affairs from the early 1890s. There was a serious fire in the Telegraph machine room on Friday, 8 December 1893, but the staff were still able to get the paper out that afternoon. In 1963, the Telegraph moved to its final home at Bowen Hills, headquarters of Queensland Press Ltd.
In 1876, the Telegraph began publishing a weekly newspaper, the Week, which continued until 1934. As news-pictorial newspapers gained popularity and circulation, the Telegraph was thought by many observers to be among the best of this genre. Its Saturday evening sports edition, printed on pink newsprint, was a slick and distinctive offering produced under punishing deadlines. For most of its long life, the Telegraph was a broadsheet; however, it switched to tabloid format early in 1948.
Pugh was one of many talented newspaper-men and women who worked on the Telegraph, and made their mark in journalism and elsewhere. Those who had a major impact included Nathaniel 'Nat' Gould, a sports writer for the paper in the 1880s who became a celebrated writer of racing novels; early editors like the distinguished journalist Dr F.W. Ward and Thomas Heney, a former editor of the Sydney Morning Herald; Keith Noud, one-time turf editor of the Telegraph and renowned track and radio race caller in the 1940s and 1950s; crime reporter Ken Blanch; World War II correspondent and later Telegraph chief-of-staff Mervyn Warren; and Erica Parker, who in the 1950s and later redrafted the boundaries for reporting on issues of significance for women readers. Sallyanne Atkinson, subsequently Lord Mayor of Brisbane, was a cadet journalist at the Telegraph, and John Dickie, who served two terms as Commonwealth Censor, was a cadet journalist at the Telegraph in the 1950s. So too were John Larkin, who became a respected writer for the Age in Melbourne, and Hugh Curnow, who went on to the Daily Mirror in London.
Journalist and newspaper executive Bill Boyan has written an engaging memoir of his life and times at the Telegraph, where he worked for 45 years from 1926. Telegraph: City Final (1991) is a rare and invaluable record of a newspaper era now gone, briefing readers on stories ranging from some of the city's major murders to the famous Stinson air crash of 1937. The colourful Brisbane characters of those years keep popping up—some of them newspaper people, others their readers and contacts. The Telegraph that Boyan joined as a cadet occupied 'a rather prim and proper world'. Four-letter words of even mild meaning were banned, along with the words 'damn', 'bastard' and even 'pregnant'.
The last Saturday edition of the Telegraph appeared on 29 December 1979. The paper was a victim of changing lifestyles, and expanded television and radio coverage of news and sport. Around Australia, afternoon newspapers were in trouble, and by the early 1990s they would all be gone. In the five years to the end of 1987, there were no fewer than six reviews of the Telegraph's future. When Rupert Murdoch's News Limited succeeded in taking over the Herald and Weekly Times in 1987, one of the dailies it now controlled was the Telegraph. The final issue of the newspaper appeared on 5 February 1988.
The Daily Sun (est. 1982) switched from morning to afternoon publication and changed its name to the Sun, but by the end of 1991 it too was gone, and after 119 years Brisbane was without a paid afternoon daily newspaper.

Coolest Minnie Mouse Birthday Cake
This Minnie Mouse Birthday Cake was inspired by a trip to Disneyworld taken last fall. Our youngest daughter, Abby, has been in love with Minnie & Mickey since then. The design for the cake was from variations of other cakes we found by looking online.
A few days before the party we baked and froze all the cake layers that we needed, including 2 eight inch rounds, 2 ten inch rounds and a Pyrex bowl for the Minnie head. We have learned that frozen cake layers are MUCH easier to work with when icing and decorating, especially if you are new to cake decorating.
The day before the party, we prepared several batches of buttercream icing for the cake – 2 batches tinted with Wilton Rose gel coloring and 2 batches prepared using the Wilton buttercream recipe for pure white icing. We made a batch for the Minnie ears using buttercream, but found that we could not get it tinted completely black. Instead, we used fondant and were able to tint it successfully.
We colored and cut the remaining fondant and used it for most of the cake accents. The polka dots were cut using the opposite end of a decorating tip. The small Minnie ears were made by printing out a template and using a knife to cut each shape. We added a bow that was also cut from fondant. The number and letters were cut with cookie cutters and made from fondant as well. All the small polka dots were buttercream frosting. The ears were made from black craft foam which we tabbed at the bottom so they could be inserted more easily. The large bow was formed from a long strip of fondant.
Once everything was made, the cake actually went together easily. For us the most time consuming part was the preparation beforehand. Special thanks goes to my friend Crystal for all her hard work and dedication to helping me create these wonderful cakes for my children. Happy 2nd birthday Abby!!

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the important food crops drastically affected by drought. Considering the low heritability of grain yield under water stress, several secondary traits associated with drought tolerance have been used, but the success achieved in deriving cultivars with high yield potential under stress is less compared to irrigated conditions. Hence, objective of the experiment was to estimate heritability for grain yield under lowland stress and select for grain yield per se using wild species Oryza meridionalis Ng and also to identify physio-morphological traits responsible for withstanding water stress. A population derived from O. sativa cv. IR58025B × O. meridionalis (BC2F3) was evaluated under control and stress conditions. Variability observed for yield and component traits indicated O. meridionalis to be a good source of useful alleles for drought tolerance. Broad-sense heritability (h2) of grain yield under stress, although only 33.1%, was comparable to control 59.4%, indicating direct selection for grain yield per se can be practiced. Twenty high-yielding selected lines and 40 random lines were evaluated under control and stress conditions to estimate selection response. Yield of selected lines outperformed random lines and checks under stress. Furthermore, 10 lines (5 high yielding and 5 low yielding) selected from the population were characterized for root morphological traits. Maximum root length (MRL) and root volume (RV) of selected high-yielding lines recorded maximum compared with checks and low-yielding lines indicating positive influence of drought avoidance root traits on grain yield under stress. Hence, O. meridionalis can be a good source of root traits contributing to stress tolerance and selection for grain yield under stress is an effective strategy in deriving drought tolerant lines in rice.Please view the pdf by using the Full Text (PDF) link under 'View' to the left.

About: University Hospital Aintree University Hospital Aintree Liverpool L9 7AL
Posted via NHS Choices
I was referred to the Ophthalmology Department through by GP direct through the booking system and was given an appointment for June last year.
I attended my initial appointment and the consultant diagnosed a condition, advised they wanted to see me again in two months time and asked me to have bloods taken on the way out to rule out any underlying symptoms.
As no communication received in any way, shape or form by August and my eye condition rapidly deteriorating, I called to chase follow up appointment.
I was told there was a backlog in that department and I had no other option than to wait.
Getting desperate, the other times I called resulted in being told the same.
Finally, last month I received my follow appointment for today (15 March).
I didn't see my previous consultant and whom was named on my appointment letter.
No explanation given but the consultant I saw today tarnished the previous diagnosis given (although I showed them photographic proof of the deterioration I was told to expect by the previous consultant) but told me that my bloods had shown up a possibly-related condition and they would therefore have to refer me back to my GP for further tests and investigation before going any further.
The bloods they were referring to were the ones I had taken at my initial appointment nine months earlier.
Surely if a marker comes back on the results, then either myself or my GP should have been advised about this as I could possibly have been living with a condition I did not know anything about since June of last year?
So now, my original condition is now being put on hold until the results come back from this newly-related condition.
If I had have been made aware of this possible condition, I could have sought treatment in the meantime which would have meant that it may have been ruled out of any connection and I would now be further on with my treatment for my original condition.
I was desperate for this follow up appointment and the consultant could see how my original condition affects me as I became visibly upset at my appointment.
I desperately hoped today would result in going further and, hopefully, resolving why I was referred to the department in the first place but now I feel I am further back than when I started as I now have to investigate another condition first before I can progress further.
Needless to say, I feel very deflated and let down.
Today's consultant said they wanted to see me again in six months but I expect to be placed back in the system and do not anticipate receiving my second follow up this side of 2016.

If I go a week or two without topping it off, it gets down in the range that is good for riding on dirt, but not for pavement. This morning it was way down, probably at 15 pounds or so. The steering was heavy at lower speeds and noticeable at all speeds. Then I topped it back up to 32 psi or so and the steering was much lighter. But it felt roughly the same when leaned over into a turn.Camber thrust isn't likely to have any effect at all when steering from a straight up position until you at least the the bike leaned over a bit (this, assuming that it has any effect at all, which I'm not convinced of).How far do you have to lean a bike over for camber thrust to start working?

quote:Originally posted by James R. DavisWhat, exactly, is the mystery? A thin (narrow) tire provides essentially no camber thrust while a wider tire provides somewhat more (though not significant) camber thrust.Camber thrust simply makes turning smoother than would a flat surfaced tire.
quote:Originally posted by LilleyTony Foale suggests that camber thrust is the only mechanism/turning force that causes turning in a leaning tyre.
quote:Originally posted by James R. DavisPerhaps we have started off on the wrong feet (yours and mine). If what you wanted to do was argue Tony Foale's positions, perhaps that is what you should have done.
quote:Now, did I misunderstand your argument which suggested that a motorcycle running on wheels like CDs provide no camber thrust, yet can turn, and now you suggest that camber thrust is the only mechanism that causes turning in a leaned motorcycle - those positions seem rather at odds to me.What do *you* believe?
quote:*I* also believe that if the front wheel is pointing in any direction other than straight ahead, however slight that angular difference is, so long as there is traction between the front tire and the roadway, the body of the motorcycle will TURN from its current path into that same direction. It's called 'steering'.

quote:This means that [for a certain tire and for the camber angle] between 0 and 28o, the lateral force needed for the equilibrium is less than the thrust generate by camber alone. Since the lateral force generated must be exactly equal to that needed for the equilibrium, the diminuition of the lateral force is obtained through a negative sideslip angle. That is, the wheel presents a lateral velocity component towards the interior of a curve.Figure 2-18 shows, for example, that in the case of camber angle 10o, the equality of the force generated with that needed is obtained when the slip angle is -0.3o. With a camber angle 28o the lateral slip is zero. For values of the camber angle greater than 28o the lateral force produced by camber alone is not sufficient for the equilibrium of the motorcycle and therefore the increase in the lateral force is obtained with the lateral slip of the tire (positive slip).This behaviour is characteristic of motorcycle tires in which the lateral force generated is, up to determined roll angles, almost entirely due to the camber component. Since this component appears more rapidly with respect to the component due to slip, it plays a fundamental role in safety. The camber component appears more rapidly because it depends on the carcass deformation while the cornering component depends on the slip angle which needs some time to occur.Now consider the graph in Figure 2-19, which refers to a different type of tire. In this case the camber thrust is always inferior to the lateral force needed for equilibrium. This means it is always necessary to have lateral slip in order to generate the additional lateral force required for equilibrium. The lateral forces, the way they are produced and their dependence on the camber angle and slip angle, play a fundamental role in motorcycle's under-steering or over-steering behaviour.If the generation of front lateral force requires a slip angle larger than that needed for generation of rear lateral force, the motorcycle will tend, as the roll angle increases, to skid more with the front wheel. This behaviour causes the vehicle to under-steer. On the other hand, of the slip in the rear wheel is greater than that of the front wheel, the behaviour will be over-steering. Neutral behaviour occurs when the slip angles are equal. On the basis of these considerations, the tire's ideal behaviour occurs when the slip angle is zero, that is, when the lateral force necessary for equilibrium is produced by camber alone.

Situated on the coast in Palm Beach County, the community of North Palm Beach is known for its golfing and boating, with almost half the homes enjoying a waterfront or canal front location.
Originally the land was purchased by Harry Seymour Kelsey and sold to gold mine owner, Sir Harry Oakes. He built a grand castle-like home on US1, which later became the clubhouse for the original golf course.
The unincorporated village was planned and developed by entrepreneur John D. MacArthur of Palm Beach Gardens fame. It dates back to 1956 when it was awarded "Best Planned Community" by the National Association of Home Builders, and it's not hard to see why.
This pristine community has several beautiful golf courses including North Palm Beach Country Club which was re-designed by Jack Nicklaus in 52006. He clearly loves the area as he not only owns a home in North Palm Beach, but also provided his valuable signature golf course design to the city for just $1. Not surprisingly the course has been tipped by Golf America as one of the best layouts in the USA.
Although much of South Florida is a mecca for winter snowbirds, upscale North Palm Beach retains a stable year-round community with strong family values and good schools. It has excellent Public Safety Services including a well-respected Police Force, Fire Departments and a top-rated Emergency Medical Service.
Activities and Amenities in North Palm Beach
The village of North Palm Beach enjoys a sunny year-round climate with balmy sea breezes. It is ideal for the outdoor lifestyle provided by the North Palm Beach Country Club, one of only two Nicklaus-designed municipal golf courses in the USA, with a links-style design.
The Signature Country Club Golf Course is located in a gorgeous setting beside the Intracoastal Waterway, another source of outdoor leisure pursuits for keen boaters and yachtsmen living in the village. In fact, visitors will notice that the village uses a ship's wheel as its logo and has many streets with nautically themed names such as Lighthouse Drive, Flotilla Lane and Anchorage Drive.
North Palm Beach takes in parts of the Fort Worth Lagoon and Singer Island. It also includes the John D. MacArthur State Park, named after the dynamic local area developer. The high proportion of waterfront properties has undoubtedly helped North Palm Beach retain its property values. Buyers will find a broad range of real estate properties, from quaint neighborhoods to upscale villas and waterfront mansions.
This friendly village of around 13,000 residents enjoys a gorgeous sandy beach, an Olympic sized swimming pool, municipal tennis courts, a theater and Bridge and Chess Clubs. There are opportunities for everything from kayaking the peaceful backwaters to attending charity fundraising galas. The village has a modern strip mall anchored by Publix and some of the best restaurants in the area for memorable dining.
Nearby amenities include Gardens Mall, the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts and City Place Shopping in downtown West Palm Beach. Palm Beach International Airport is just 20 minutes away.
With so many recreational assets and beautiful homes, visitors will quickly see that North Palm Beach is "the best place under the sun" for enjoying an enviable resort lifestyle in a lively upscale community.

rhoSimpleFoam convergence problem
I am trying to solve the simple case of laminar flow in a tube.
basically what is described here
http://www.somogyibence.hu/documents.../Cornell1.html ,
only i wish to have a heated wall and so the density should change, so I looked at the openFoam solvers, and chose rhoSimpleFoam.
I have given the same equivalent BCs as in the link above, and also played with inletoutlet type BCs, but with out success, i can not get convergence and i see that the pressure is the main problem, it oscilates all the time and never convereges (together with Ux, the velocity in the axial direction).
I am looking for suggestions on relaxation factors, or anything else that is the correct way to get a solution for this simulation (mesh suggestions?, it's simply a blockmesh with simpleGrading (1 1 1 ) )
Two grasp-at-straws suggestions:
- Play with the gravity. Start with a low value, and increment it, using the latest solution each time. This may smooth out the instabilities.
- Try using a transient algorithm, and look for steady state conditions to develop.
Thanks, i'll try it
can you point out a suitable transient algorithm? i'm still not very familiar with the different solution algorithms.
Is there a buoyant piso? Or "pimple"? In OpenFOAM, "SIMPLE" is the chosen steady state algorithm, "PISO" is the chosen transient one. "PIMPLE" is OpenFOAM's own (unfortunately named) algorithm that I believe will switch between PISO and SIMPLE depending on the case directory.
oh, got ya.
will try.

Abstract 13 shock experiments were performed on oriented single-crystal quartz samples at pressures of 30-38 GPa, above the Hugoniot elastic limit. The change from crystalline to amorphous material in the post-shock samples was observed by X-ray diffraction and TEM. The glassy lamellae show a relationship between shock direction and crystal lattice which suggests that planes of weakness in the crystal could be more important than stress forces in producing shear zones under shock conditions. A model is proposed for the production of diaplectic glass in quartz. During the compression stage under elastic or visco-plastic shear deformation conditions, shear planes create small disordered glassy zones, which can be denser than the crystalline quartz. Increased pressure amplifies the density contrast between these zones and quartz. As a result, the adjacent material becomes glassy at the crystal-glass contact. Post-shock release creates a great difference in density this time positive between glass and crystal, with the production of spindle-shaped glass zones with shear zones penetrating into the quartz.

text: Hi Shane, I checked with Walters several times and that company has'nt made flat cars in four years. Gloor Craft models also made them but not in several years. Walthers in fact made logging cars for there lumber company and they hav'nt made them in two years. Just today I found out from another forum that a company named Small Scale Logistics makes two different flat cars. They also make a Shay N- scale steam engine to my surprise. Does anyone know anything about this company and how good there products are. Thanks for the help.

Worst experience I've ever had - mwoodss
Ever since I bought this bike in JUNE it has been nothing but a headache for me...my bike ended up having a recall that was released the day after I bought the bike so they refused to release my bike to me, which is illegal since I was already the legal owner of the bike. I had to go to Honda Corp to get them involved and it still took a month for my bike to be released to me. When I finally got to pick it up in August they didn't even give it to me with a full tank of gas, the gas was almost at 1/4 of a tank. I just recently brought it in for the 600mile service hoping for a better experience and was let down yet again. I had emailed my sales rep to set up the appointment and 1.5 weeks later still received no response. I ended up just bringing the bike in on a Thursday and told them that I wanted he GM to call me the next day. I didn't hear from anyone and ended up calling myself the following Tuesday only to be talked to like I was an idiot and an inconvient event for checking on my bike. I was told the GM was not there and would get back to me and was transferred to the service manager who was even worse. He told me that my service was done but he wasn't giving me my bike back because the recall parts were still 2 weeks out. I again told him that he didn't have the right to do that to which he responded "do you even understand what a recall is." I explained to him that I work at a car dealership so I'm very fimiliar with recalls and I also understand my rights and laws as a motorcycle owner. He told me "if you think you're so much better than a recall then come get your bike." The GM finally called me on Thursday (now a week after I initially dropped off the bike) and I told him that I was not only not paying for the first service since they kept telling me they would take care of the inconvience of the initial pick up of the bike but that I would not be returning there. I also explained to him that I did not drop my bike off for the recall and therefore he has no legal right to hold my bike, which he told me he does and he wasn't releasing it back. A week after that I finally received a call that the bike was finished. I went to pick it up and the service manager was even more rude in person. I went to start the bike and he looked at me and goes "don't you think it's a little too cold for you to be riding." I have never been more frustrated with a company and their customer service as I have been with parkway cycles. There customer service is awful, they make excuses for everything and they are incredibly rude. This was my first bike purchase and it was by far the worst experience I've ever had. I will not only not be bringing my bike back for service, but I will also not be returning to upgrade my bike in the spring. I would NEVER recommend this place to anyone. I wish you could give a negative rating for them.

Ask a conservation officer: Trout stamp needed on trout lakes, streams
Q: Is a trout stamp required to fish the smaller lakes and streams away from Lake Superior?
A: A Minnesota trout stamp is required to fish in any designated trout lake or designated trout stream in Minnesota, as well as anywhere in Minnesota's waters of Lake Superior. The stamp is required of anglers ages 18-64.
You can find a list of designated lakes and streams on the DNR website at dnr.state.mn.us/fishing/trout_streams/index.html. Trout stamp dollars help to support the management and stocking of these designated lakes and streams.
There are other lakes where trout may be present that are not designated trout lakes; a trout stamp is not required for general angling in these lakes but is required if you are pursuing or keeping trout species. For further information, see the DNR website.
Matthew S. Miller is a Minnesota Department of Natural Resources conservation officer with the Lake Superior Marine Unit. Send your questions to email@example.com.

Amid endless choices, the sound of a Dave Holland bass line compels attention. A master of tone and rhythm, the bassist, composer, and bandleader is now in his fifth decade as a performer and his music possesses a rich and kaleidoscopic history. One of Holland�s mentors, the affably sage-like saxophonist Sam Rivers, gave him a tip once. Sam said, �Don�t leave anything out - play all of it,� Holland once told a radio interviewer. �That�s become almost a mantra for me over the years,� he says, �as I�ve tried to find a way to build a vehicle which lets me utilize the full spectrum which includes the tradition, playing the blues and improvising freely. I love all that music, and there�s been a desire to reconcile all those areas, to make them relevant, hopefully, in a contemporary context - as one music.�
Holland is not the only accomplished bassist in music, an instrument rich in authoritative figures like Charles Mingus and Scott LaFaro. But he�s the only Dave Holland, and the vivid personal imprint he brings to the music performs stamps it with a sound that transcends any arbitrary descriptions of genre or format. He is a seminal figure in post-1960s jazz, but has never allowed his work to be limited by tradition.
This path has led him from the frontiers of free improvisation to his modern ensembles that fully embody Rivers� philosophy of �playing all of it.�
Born in 1946, the Wolverhampton, England, native was a steady figure on the London jazz scene when Miles Davis saw him at the fabled Soho jazz club Ronnie Scott�s in1968, playing in a combo that opened for the Bill Evans Trio. �Miles heard something in his sound and his ideas,� recalled Jack DeJohnette, who was Evans�s drummer on the date. A month later, Holland was on the bandstand with Davis at Count Basie�s Harlem nightclub. He then joined the rhythm section on Filles de Kilimanjaro, and the revolutionary In a Silent Way and Bitches Brew sessions. It was a heady two years, but Holland was quickly developing his own ideas about music.
He recalls that one of his earliest and hardest lessons was how to make his own space in Davis� music, which at the time was electronically evolving. �When I first joined Miles� band, he didn�t say much to me. I now know that to be one of his great gifts to artists: to encourage us to not play like the guys who came before us, but to explore our own creative solutions. At the time I remember reading a quote from the Sufi tradition that said, �Plant your banner firmly in the desert sand.� That resonated with me. I knew I had to figure out what I could bring to the table to represent how I heard and felt the music.�
Eager to pursue his own radical new sounds, Holland did what many of his peers would not have contemplated. He quit Davis� band, giving up the arena gigs at vast venues like Madison Square Garden to commit to the creation of his own music. And then he got even busier. The 1970s found Holland prolific. Solo, and in collaboration, he became a dominant voice in the new music. Along with fellow Miles alum Chick Corea, he formed the short-lived super group Circle, and then joined Rivers for the epochal Conference of the Birds. The 1972 album, one of Holland�s first for the ECM label, was a quartet session that also featured multi-reedist Anthony Braxton and drummer Barry Altschul (both of Circle). Inspired by the birds that frequented the yard of Holland�s London home, and a 12th century Persian epic written by Farid ud-Din Attar, the album became a classic - outward-thinking music that made the avant-garde swinging and coherent, suffused in feeling yet attentive to form. Holland also explored the essence of his instrument in the duo record with Barre Phillips, Music for Two Basses (1971) and the remarkable solo album Emerald Tears (1977).
Interestingly enough, Holland�s solo albums - which also include the cello-driven Life Cycle (1983) and One�s All (a 1993 release on the German Intuition label) - brought him back full circle to his earliest fascination with the bass and strings. �I loved the richness of the sound and the instrument�s expressiveness,� he says, recalling his exposure as teenager to albums featuring Ray Brown and Leroy Vinnegar. �But what really knocked me out - and is still the key to playing this music - is the communicative quality of those players. The idea of the communion of playing struck me deeply. How they complemented each other during solos and how they interacted. This was so far ahead of anything I had heard up to that point. I saw a much wider horizon ahead to reach for. The emotion of jazz moved me. It knocked me off my feet�
DeJohnette marvels at his musicianship in this setting: �Dave is one of a few bassists who can get an audience on their feet during a solo. He learned from Miles to have a point of view in his playing.� Singling out Bach�s sonatas, Holland says that he�s carrying on a stringed instrument tradition: �On my solo recordings and in my solo concerts, I try to find a variety of ways to play the bass so the music isn�t boring and repetitive. There are different ways of pacing, and, of course, you can turn on a dime when you�re playing by yourself.�
It was Holland�s strengths as a collaborator that marked many of his most notable efforts of the decade. His ongoing association with Rivers, Braxton and trumpeter Kenny Wheeler saw Holland�s presence on a slew of important sessions, including a pair of improvisatory duets with Rivers and multiple credits on Braxton�s Arista recordings, such as the splendid New York (Fall 1974). Joining forces with DeJohnette again and guitarist John Abercrombie, Holland joined the collective Gateway Trio from 1975-77 recording a pair of albums for ECM. (The trio recorded twice again in the 1990s and continues to play the occasional concert).
Ever versatile, Holland also recorded with folk and rock musicians. As the only acoustic bassist living in Woodstock, New York, at the time, the Englishman was in demand. Michael Cuscuna, who produced several Braxton sessions with Holland on board, solicted his talents for Bonnie Raitt�s Give It Up. Holland also got in the studio with bluegrass legend Vassar Clements and John Hartford. (It was in the same spirit that Holland found himself jamming with Jimi Hendrix one fleeting night in 1969 with drummer Buddy Miles).
Holland formed his first working quintet in 1983, featuring alto saxophonist Steve Coleman, trumpeter Wheeler and trombonist Julian Priester. A series of albums recorded over the next four years - including Jumpin� In, Seeds of Time, and Razor�s Edge - laid the foundation for Holland�s songbook. Subsequently, he formed the Dave Holland Trio (with Coleman and DeJohnette) for the 1988 album Triplicate, and teamed with Coleman, electric guitarist Kevin Eubanks and drummer Marvin �Smitty� Smith for Extensions in 1989.
The bassist also continued to enjoy strong collaborations with a vast range of his peers, often connecting with celebrated figures from the previous generation of jazz icons. The following year, Holland got together in a unique trio of jazz legends, drummer Billy Higgins and pianist Hank Jones to record The Oracle - a genuine power summit. Other stellar projects included Question & Answer with Pat Metheny & Roy Haynes as well as Like Minds with Gary Burton. This has been a consistent pattern in Holland�s career. During the �90s, he renewed an affiliation, begun in the 1970s, with Joe Henderson, joining the tenor saxophonist on So Near (So Far), Porgy & Bess, and the Joe Henderson Big Band. Likewise, Holland reunited with vocalist Betty Carter, touring and recording the live album Feed the Fire. Fellow Davis album Herbie Hancock invited Holland to tour with him in 1992, subsequently recording The New Standard, Holland joined Hancock�s band again in 1996 and, more recently, was part of the sessions for River: The Joni Letters, winner of the 2008 Grammy for Album of the Year.
Throughout the �90s into the new century, Holland moved from strength to strength, both building and consolidating his position as one of the music�s important and creatively seeking bandleaders. He launched his third quartet - and released Dream of the Elders (1995), which introduced the vibraphonist Steve Nelson to his ensembles. The Pittsburgh native has been a mainstay in all of Holland�s bands, save for his sextet, since the mid-�90s. �He�s one of the great improvisers I�ve had a chance to play with,� Holland says. �He brings something new to the table every time. I see guys scratching their heads at what he�s doing. I wanted a chordal instrument in the group. I didn�t necessarily want a piano. I wanted something to give more openness to the music, chordally. Steve�s approach to playing can be very spacious at times. He knows when to lay out and when to play. There are often long stretches where he�s not playing and then he comes in just at the right moment. A lot of people ask me why I�m using vibes. The reason is Steve Nelson.�
Holland also formed his current quintet, which includes tenor saxophonist Chris Potter, trombonist Robin Eubanks and, a more recent addition, drummer Nate Smith. Among their notable recordings are Not for Nothin, Prime Directive and Extended Play.
Eubanks, who has been in Holland�s ensembles since the mid-1980s, brings an expansive range to the band. �He can get a very pure French horn-like sound on the high register and can go from that to a real gutbucket sound, and all the points in between,� Holland says. �It�s really important to me that the musicians are deeply grounded in the tradition of the music but at the same time are looking to move that forward - not only in their playing but in their composing as well.�
Holland first heard Potter when the award-winning tenor saxophonist was about 19, and playing alto with Red Rodney at the Blue Note. �I was doing a gig there with Joe Henderson,� Holland recalls. Later, he joined Potter on a recording session with DeJohnette and John Scofield. �I was struck by the composure he had for a young musician and his sense of balance. He played with a great deal of assurance.� Potter also knew Eubanks from their stints in the Mingus Big Band, which already made for great chemistry in the horn section.
Drummer Nate Smith was also quite young when Holland first encountered him, during a visit to the University of Virginia in Richmond, Virginia., where Smith was a student. After another encounter at a memorial concert for Betty Carter, with whom Smith performed in the vocalist�s last years, Holland invited him to join the quintet in 2003. �He�s got a great warmth to his playing, a great sense of community,� Holland says. �I always need players who can really get into a dialogue with each other in the music and are really listening to each other and are not up there playing for themselves. And, again, he�s another fine composer in the band. Because of his generation, he brings a particular perspective to the music, as does Chris, which I really appreciate and enjoy.
When Holland talks about the musicians, it�s clear that he�s found an ideal mix of talents and attitudes with which to develop a full, complex and exciting sound that is, above all, of the moment. �We�re all looking to play music that is relevant to the time we live in,� he says. �In the quintet we�re interested in a wide range of context for the music to work in. I�m not looking for a book of music that is only following one direction. I�m looking for something that covers a very broad range of approaches to improvisation, a balance between composition and improvisation, and different compositional settings that have different influences on the performance.�
Holland has only gathered momentum with the new century. In 2000, he debuted his Big Band and its debut What Goes Around. �As a player, I like the situation where you point me in a direction, and let me give a piece momentum,� says Holland. �That�s my aim, giving everyone in the big band the opportunity to delve into their own creative possibilities. There�s a fine line for balance - utilizing the band for my composing and arranging, but also keeping the flexibility and freedom in the music.�
Potter, an MVP in multiple settings for Holland, says the leader�s �core� bass lines allow him to launch his saxophone improvisations in many different directions. �As a leader, Dave approaches the band as something you wind up and let go,� he says. �Of course, he�s serious about the music. He wants us all to play at our highest level. He�s very curious to see how far we can take an idea and run with it.�
In 2005, Holland formed Dare2 Records, after a long-standing relationship with ECM Records, the label where he had developed into a signature artist. Holland created Dare2 �to have more control over the entire process of releasing an album. But in the long term, there�s a lot of promise in making music this way, especially with the changing environment in the recording industry.� He has five albums on Dare2, including the Grammy-award winning Overtime (2005), Critical Mass (2006) and Pass It On (2008), recorded with his fan-favorite quintet. Pathways (2010), featuring the debut of the Dave Holland Octet, is nominated for a Grammy Award for best large ensemble album. Dave�s latest release is Hands, a collaboration with Spanish flamenco guitar legend, Pepe Habichuela.

When you've been charged with OVI / DUI, your future will depend on the kind of legal representation you choose. You can represent yourself, retain the services of the public defender's office, or you can find and hire a private criminal defense lawyer to fight on your behalf. It's never advisable to represent yourself in a serious criminal case, and the public defender's office may be too busy to give your case the kind of thorough review necessary to get you the best results possible.
Therefore, if you want to avoid the harsh consequences of an OVI / DUI conviction, your best bet is to hire a reputable Columbus criminal defense attorney. It goes without saying that the experience and skill of your lawyer will go a long way in getting you the results you want. The question is: how do you choose a lawyer that you can trust with your future?
Lawyers are not just highly trained professionals—they're highly focused in vastly different areas of the law. For example, a lawyer that successfully resolved an insurance claim or property dispute on your behalf is probably not the best lawyer to defend against your OVI charges. Conversely, great criminal defense lawyers are rarely authorities in divorce, bankruptcy, or contract law.
This means that when you're facing an OVI or criminal charge, you need to find a lawyer who has significant experience working on those kinds of cases. Better yet, you should find an attorney who has defended so many OVI cases that he or she is intimately familiar with the local court, its procedures, and the tricks of the trade that can significantly advance your prospects.
There are several Columbus criminal defense lawyers who primarily handle OVI cases, and the one you choose should give you confidence in his or her ability to advocate on your behalf. Most law firms offer free initial consultations, so you should call any lawyers that catch your attention and ask them questions about their background and experience.
Below is a list of questions you should ask of any Columbus OVI / DUI defense attorney you are looking to hire to represent you on your OVI / DUI charge.
This training will allow them to easily dissect the standardized field sobriety tests that were conducted and look for mistakes the officer made when demonstrating and instructing the tests to you. Errors made by police officers can then be leveraged with prosecutors to try and negotiate the best possible deal on your behalf. They can also be used to weaken the state's case in a motion hearing or trial.
Those OVI / DUI attorneys who are serious about their craft will complete the BAC Datamaster and Basic Science of Evidential Breath Alcohol Testing course modeled after the BAC Datamaster Supervisor program.
This course enables attorneys to become intimately familiar with the inner workings of the BAC Datamaster breath test machine and how it works. This training will allow them to find potential legal issues that can then be leveraged with prosecutors to try and negotiate the best possible deal on your behalf. They can also be used to weaken the state's case in a motion hearing or trial.
Benjamin Luftman began practicing law in 2003, the same year he founded Luftman, Heck & Associates. More than a decade later and with thousands of criminal cases behind us, Luftman, Heck & Associates has grown into a reputable Columbus criminal defense firm with a proven track record of obtaining good case outcomes for our clients.
When Attorney Luftman is not advocating for his clients, he teaches both industry professionals and laypeople about the intricacies of OVI law in Ohio. From speaking about OVI / DUI law at Certified Driver Intervention programs to writing about OVI defense for national publications, Benjamin Luftman is passionate about raising awareness about how citizens can assert their rights when facing drunk driving charges.
To effectively represent clients charged with OVI, Attorney Luftman believes it's essential to be well versed in the laws, procedures, and technologies relevant to these kinds of cases. He's been certified by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to better understand how the police conduct roadside standardized field sobriety tests. He knows the ins and outs of proper chemical testing procedures. Further, he closely follows developments in Ohio OVI case law to learn about new defense strategies and trial tactics.
The government and its agents are under a constitutional obligation to respect the rights of all people—not just citizens—present on American soil. A violation of a criminal suspect's rights is not just morally wrong—it also has a practical effect on that suspect's criminal court proceedings. At Luftman, Heck & Associates, we carefully review all of the prosecution's evidence to determine whether the authorities trampled your rights in any way.
The prosecutor cannot use evidence that was obtained in a way that violates your rights. Without evidence to prove your guilt, the prosecutor will have trouble obtaining your conviction. Better yet, the prosecutor's remaining evidence may be so weak that your lawyer can ask the court to dismissal your charges. Here are some examples of violations that often come up in OVI / DUI cases:
At Luftman, Heck & Associates, we can help you confront the Ohio criminal justice system from your arrest through to your trial. By advocating for your rights and thinking strategically about your case defense, we will maximize your chances of obtaining a positive case result. If you've been charged with OVI, call us today at for a free and confidential consultation of your case.
If you've been charged with a OVI / DUI, it's important to know what you're up against. If you have any questions left unanswered by this page, or if you need a competent, experienced Columbus DUI attorney to fight for you in court, please contact us at or via email at email@example.com.

We will be in Antigua for the day in Aug. and think we want to go to Long Beach. What is the best way (and cost)to get there from the pier?
Welcome to Cruise Critic! If you'd like to participate on our forums by joining in the conversation, please Register Now! Be sure to visit our FAMOUS Roll Call forums, where you can meet other cruisers sailing with you and share a tour or shore excursion and SAVE MONEY!
Can someone please tell me if my research is correct on going to Long Bay Beach:1. Not sure - we got dropped off as part of our tour but it sounds reasonable
I am seriously thinking of going here next April.
I plan on taking my family of 4 which would be approx. $50 r/t from the cruise port.
I will have to walk through the Long Bay Beach hotel to get to the beach but this is perfectly acceptable.
I can rent chairs on the beach, although the rental place is not the hotel.
I can eat, drink and use bathroom facilities.
Thank you VERY VERY much to anyone that can help me out.

When Jaguar launched the XF in 2008 it helped re-invent the classic British brand and introduce it to a new generation of buyers. But despite its distinctive style and impressive dynamics, the XF has failed to make a real impact against its German rivals.
Mercedes-Benz and BMW still hold a significant advantage in the sales race but Jaguar is hoping that its updated 2012 model will help close the gap.
The biggest reason for hope is the addition of a four-cylinder turbo diesel that opens up a huge part of the market; Jaguar says four-cylinder's make up as much as 49 per cent globally in the class.
Squeezing the throttle open on the autobahn heading south from Munich, the 2.2-litre oil-burner quietly builds speed.
Two things immediately become obvious. The first is that the four-cylinder has adequate power for the task, but nothing more, lacking the punch of the bigger V6 turbo diesel. The second is just how quiet and refined the engine sounds.
That's arguably the biggest surprise of the XF 2.2 because the engine is shared with the Land Rover Freelander2. In that car, the engine is a lot noisier and has a typical diesel rattle, especially when compared to its direct German rivals.
Jaguar says it invested a great deal of money in re-designing parts for improved sound-deadening, and it also had to engineer the engine to mount it the other way (compared to the Freelander2).
In terms of performance, the engine produces only 140kW but a healthy 450Nm. That's enough to launch the XF 2.2 from 0-100km/h in 8.5 seconds and on to a top speed of 225km/h. Fuel consumption is a claimed 5.4L/100km on the combined cycle.
Another reason for the improved refinement and good economy is the adoption of the eight-speed automatic gearbox. It replaces the six-speed auto in the diesel models, but the old unit remains in the V8 petrol and supercharged V8 XFR.
The eight-speed transmission is also combined with a new stop-start system for further economy benefits, which Jaguar claims is the first of its kind, offering restarts up to 40 per cent faster than stop-start systems seen in competing models. It has been specially tuned to re-fire the engine is a fraction of a second if it senses the driver has changed their mind.
Unfortunately, our test drive of the car didn't take us through much stop-start traffic, but overall the impression of the Jaguar system was good, but not significantly better than its competitors. We'll reserve final judgement for when we drive it under local conditions.
One major unchanged element of the new cheaper XF is the chassis tuning. The XF won plenty of fans with its nice blend of composed road holding and comfortable ride and, wisely, the brand has not messed with a good thing.
What Jaguar has managed to improve is the XF's looks. The updated model showcases the brand's new styling direction, giving it a fresher, more modern appearance than the previous version.
Everything forward of the windscreen has been redesigned, with the most notable changes being new slimmer bi-xenon headlights and LED daytime running lights. There are also unique bumper designs to differentiate the three different model types; standard, sports pack and XFR. The bonnet also features a new lip along the base of the windscreen to reduce wind noise.
The back of the car sports new tail-lights and has ditched the 'Jaguar' script in favour of the famous leaping cat badge. Apparently Jaguar design boss Ian Callum didn't like the fact that the old XF design had been copied by other brands, including the new Ford Focus.
The XFR has been given a more aggressive look with a heavily sculpted bonnet with larger vents, after the last car was criticised by some for being too subtle.
"It was a wolf in sheep's clothing," says Wayne Burgess, Jaguar design director. "Now it's a wolf in wolf's clothing."
Interior changes include new, more supportive seats as well as changes to the switchgear; although the new white-on-black buttons are easier to read they lack the same premium feel of the silver buttons on the old model.
Despite being the entry-level model in the range, the XF 2.2 is still well equipped, with Bluetooth connectivity and audio streaming, a 7-inch colour touch-screen, 10-speaker stereo with MP3 and iPod connectivity, leather and alcantara seats, leather steering wheel, rear parking sensors and 17-inch alloy wheels.
But what impresses as much as anything is the price, $78,900 (plus dealer and on road costs). That puts the XF 2.2 in a healthy position against its main rivals - the BMW 520d and the Mercedes-Benz E220 CDI - both of which are priced at $83,300.
Now all Jaguar has to do is convince buyers away from their tried and trusted German cars to get a taste of British luxury and economy.

Tess Vigeland: Today President Obama launched a two-day, four-stop "energy tour," taking him to Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Ohio. He started in Boulder City, Nev., at the Copper Mountain Solar 1 Facility. It's the largest photovoltaic solar plant in the country.
As Marketplace's Sarah Gardner reports, the president's trip comes amid increasing concern from his campaign that rising gas prices could unravel his bid for re-election.
Sarah Gardner: After President Obama landed in Las Vegas today, he may have noticed the gas price signs along the route to Boulder City. They're nearing $4 a gallon in that state.
Obama's Republican presidential rivals are hammering him over gas prices. And so are many voters.
Michael Levi: A lot of them think it's the president's fault and he wants to convince them that it isn't.
Energy scholar Michael Levi at the Council on Foreign Relations. Levi says Obama also wants to explain his energy policy, which Levi argues has shifted. Obama started out pushing hard for a federal cap on greenhouse gases and strict limits on oil drilling. Now, Levi says, Obama's got an "all of the above" strategy, emphasizing both renewable power and fossil fuels, which leaves the president vulnerable.
Levi: One of the problems the president has is that when he says 'I like wind power,' people hear 'I hate oil.'
And vice versa, of course. That double-edged sword will be most apparent when Obama visits Oklahoma tomorrow. He's stopping at a pipe yard owned by TransCanada, the company building the controversial Keystone XL pipeline. Oil producers say they'll show up in protest because the president's delayed the pipeline. But environmentalists are furious with him as well for even considering it.
David Konisky teaches public policy at Georgetown.
David Konisky: There's the potential that he upsets some of his environmental constituents but I think for the president he is more worried about taking care of the concerns of the average American.
Who want the president to do something -- anything -- to lower gas prices.
I'm Sarah Gardner for Marketplace.

Skip to comments.The Idolatrous Apocalypticism of Modern Progressivism
Posted on 04/01/2013 9:05:57 AM PDT by Olympiad Fisherman
Modern progressivism is, in truth, a Christian heresy. Its blind utopianism is based on a Judeo-Christian redemptive view of apocalyptic history, but since it has no resurrection, it cannot provide social justice since it will invariably deny all peoples of the past who have died any participation in it. Worse, instead of providing social justice, it has left us with financial Armageddon instead. It is a bankrupt system, culturally, spiritually and economically ...

Obamanation Counterculture File.
We are in agreement!!
Yep, we are in agreement.
Take note of the Blitzgreig attack that Arrogant, Communist Dictator-in-his-own-mind, B. Hussein Obama has thrown at our Culture.
Most of the threads on FR are about the Obamanation Blitzgreig.
Obama knows that eventually some turncoat Obamanation Journalist will get a 'Freedom of Information' order from some judge to unseal Obama's flunking grades at Haaaaaaaavud, and Poof! Hussein's legacy will end.
Hence, Barry Soetoro must run fast, furious and loose to smash American Culture while the 'Progressives' still have their love fest for their Nobel-Winning Flower Child doing President Valerie Jarrett's bidding, speechmaking and enshrining Commie Foreign Policy.
We need not pride ourselves now for being better than the German People were in the 1930's, because the majority of the gullible in America have fallen for the same type of utopian propaganda.
They welcomed the slavery of Hitler, we are welcoming the slavery of Obama.
These are the years of Obamanation Counterculture attacks.
BTW, with Senate Minority Leader Son-of-a-Mitch, and Esteemed Sobber of The House Boehner as the "leaders" of the Opposition to the Obamanation Evil Empire, Barry Soetoro should be able to win another Nobel Prize before the Election of 2014.
Well, at least be nominated for one by several of his loyal Obamanation Journalists.

UN524/01 Eyewear
As a customer of Edel-Optics, you are totally aware that eyewear can crown your style. This accessory makes you look very smart when you are out and about and convincing in the office and in your leisure time. The UN524 is available in the Edel-Optics online shop in other styles from Vienna Design collections 2016 and 2017.
The unisex Vienna Design model makes no distinction between men and women. Full rim frames completely enclose the lenses within the frame. For a convinced eyeglass wearer, any other frame style is ruled out, with very few exceptions. Rectangular models are particularly suitable for round and oval faces. The rectangular shape also builds a bridge to corners and edges from an image aspect. Plastic is a very lightweight and flexible material. This ensures a long life and a high level of comfort.
Moreover, we can also provide you with the correct prescription lenses at an incredibly low price. The only thing you need to provide us with are your current dioptre values determined by your ophthalmologist. Together with our digital dispensing optician, you can choose between reasonably priced brand lenses from Germany or premium brands such as Seiko, Hoya and Rodenstock. Edel-Optics' plastic lenses have many features such as anti-reflection coating, lotus effect, cleaning coating, antistatic and hard coating at no extra charge.
The model is in stock. If you order now with the express shipping option, we can even guarantee the time of delivery. In our online shop we have consistently low prices. You won't get UN524 at such a low price, not even in the sale.

Unanswered: Index Wizard and Memory
How much memory does the Index Tuning Wizard need? I keep getting the error message that there is insufficient memory to tune the database no matter what I do. I've tried it on my machine with 500 MB of RAM and a 3000 MB Pagefile. I've even restored to booting into Safe Mode so that there will be maximum memory available.
I have tried this on the server itself which has 6 GB of memory and got the same error message.
Am I doing something wrong? What am I missing?
Thanks for your help.

Can You Help Find Silver Bracelet in Weymouth?
8:16am 21st April 2014
A woman who lost a special charm bracelet over the Easter weekend is appealing for help.
Sarah Broadway realised her silver Chamilia bracelet was missing on Saturday night (19th April).
She thinks it may have slipped off sometime when she was out shopping at ASDA and Sainsbury's in Weymouth at around 7pm to 8pm.
"We visited Sainsbury's and ASDA and we phoned both stores but haven't heard anything yet so I'm wondering if maybe it dropped off in the car park."
24 year old Sarah told us she's desperate to get the charm bracelet back;
"It's a silver charm bracelet with blue charms on it with a little "C" on the clasp, it's hugely sentimental to me and it really means a lot."
If you recently found a bracelet matching the above description, call Wessex FM news on 01305 250333.

In their round-up of the "worst jobs in science, 2005," entry 3 in the countdown
is "Kansas Biology Teacher."
"...On the front lines of science's devolution
"The evolution debate is consuming almost everything we do," says Brad Williamson, a 30-year science veteran at suburban Olathe East High School and a past president of the National Association of Biology Teachers. "It's politicized the classroom. Parents will say their child can't be in class during any discussion of evolution, and students will say things like 'My grandfather wasn't a monkey!'"
First, a history lesson. In 1999 a group of religious fundamentalists won election to the Kansas State Board of Education and tried to introduce creationism into the state's classrooms. They wanted to delete references to radiocarbon dating, continental drift and the fossil record from the education standards. In 2001 more-temperate forces prevailed in elections, but the anti-evolutionists garnered a 6-4 majority again last November. This year Intelligent Design (ID) theory is their anti-evolution tool of choice."
"Alas, for Kansas's educational reputation, the damage may be done. "We've heard anecdotally that our students are getting much more scrutiny at places like medical schools. I get calls from teachers in other states who say things like 'You rubes!'" Williamson says. "But this is happening across the country. It's not just Kansas anymore." "
ALso have a gander at # 9 in the countdown, "NASA Ballerina." The accompaning MPEG is seriously cool.
Kudos to TNH at Making Light for highlighting the artcle in her sidebar

Let me start by saying I don't consider myself to be fashionable. However, before I had a baby I at least tried...most of the time. Ok, sometimes. Now I'm all about comfort, staying warm (upstate NY winters), and cheap.
Today I came across a blog that has given me new inspiration. It's called The Pretty Life Anonymous. (http://prettylifeanonymous.blogspot.com/) The two sisters who write The Pretty Life Anonymous were guest bloggers on another blog I've recently been following (http://sixsistersstuff.blogspot.com/). The topic was 'Looking fab on a budget.' The sisters took two stylish, but pricey outfits and created a 'redo' at a fraction of the cost! Bargain shopping - this is sooo my cup of tea! My Mother worked at a consignment shop when I was growing up and taught me bargain shopping at an early age. Once I began shopping with my own money I found it difficult to buy anything if it wasn't on sale. Not for lack of money but for the shopping values instilled by my Mom. I still have difficulty spending a lot of money on a single item. Earlier this year I bought a Coach bag, on clearance for $200. I looked at it sitting on my kitchen island for two weeks before eventually returning it. Anywho, my point is...the Pretty Life Anonymous Blog gives me new inspiration to 'try' again. I CAN still dress fashionable on a budget, even with a kid!
Did I mention they also do giveaways???

2017 Odd Age World Series Skills Competition Winners!!!
AttractionsDirector Contact
Schedule of Events
July 14thJuly 15thJuly 16th and 17th July 18th- July 22nd
Originally, Round Rock was not named Round Rock nor was it located where it is currently. Coincidence and fate combined to determine the location of Round Rock. The initial settlement of Brushy (as the town was originally called) was located near the banks of Brushy Creek at the natural fording area by the round rock.
The Brushy Creek Post Office was established in a section of Thomas C. Oatts' store on May 27, 1851. However in 1854, postal authorities asked Mr. Oatts to provide another name for the settlement (being that there was already a town in the State that called itself Brushy). Mr. Oatts decided to rename the town Round Rock in recognition of the large rock in the middle of Brushy Creek where he and Jacob Harrell spent much time sitting and fishing; thus on August 24, 1854, the name of Round Rock was officially given to the community (Scarbrough 310).
The coming of the International and Great Northern Railroad in 1876 forced the commercial area of Round Rock to move to the east, leaving the original settlement to be referred to as Old Town forever more. Today, the area has special historical interest and several businesses have restored and then located their shops in these buildings. The restoration of this area can be seen as being an attempt to emphasize the historic past of the City of Round Rock.
Round Rock is no longer a little settlement but is now the Sports Capital of Texas and we at Round Rock Youth Baseball would like to invite you and your team to our Sports Capital.

The now, very well funded collapsable and portable monitor will be over in a little less than three days on Kickstarter. The Spontaneous Pop-up Display, coined SPUD, has literally knocked their campaign out of the park by receiving over $650k over their original $33k pledge. It's obvious that the maker of SPUD, Arovia, has really innovated a product that has never been developed before and is solving a real problem that people have. Being able to have a large, crisp monitor while traveling, without all the bulk of course.
How does SPUD work?
SPUD is a highly innovative "pop up" monitor that will collapse like an umbrella and become as small as a book to popping out with a single push to become a 24-inch display. This is the perfect little 'monitor' for anyone on the go, traveling for work, or a person without a permanent office. It can also be used for entertainment purposes, like watching movies or something to bring along with you while camping.
When SPUD is expanded, it uses custom optics combined with high tech DLP technology to produce a clean and crisp image that one desires in their monitor. The SPUD promises a clear and bright contrast, regardless of lighting conditions and also comes with a brightness adjustment to brighten or darken the picture depending on your particular circumstances. It also boasts a resolution of 1280×720 pixels.
The design
The screen is extremely durable and will not break, unlike glass screens. SPUD uses a flexible polymer and can be washed if it gets dirty. You can't say the same thing for your more traditional monitor as something as simple as cleaning it with the wrong chemical can damage your expensive screen.
It provides 4x more screen area than a 13-inch laptop screen and is about the size of a large desk monitor. It can be used on any device that supports an HDMI connection, such as your smartphone or streaming device.
Final thoughts on this portable monitor
This is an extremely well rounded, innovative device. It solves a real world problem and contains all of the functionality of a permanent monitor into a collapsible device that weighs no more than 2 pounds. It's well built, provides a quality picture, and is very portable. We give kudos to Arovia who has designed this and will be bring it to fruition.

Cannot comment much on this but Gareth Edwards, best known for his recent hit Godzilla will be directing a Star Wars Spin Off movie to come out in December 2016. I still don't know how to feel about it, but I do know one thing the monsters and the way that he brought this universe to the big screen was pretty amazing (still pending to do my Godzilla review). So for now very curious, not so far as excited but very pleased with the choice, now the question is what is the first spin off movie about?!?!
Oh source and if you follow John Campea for AMC Movie Talk he broke it on Facebook/Twitter.
