Yeah, well, I've never been much for conventional thinking. So as you can imagine, I'm looking forward to hearing from this "Unionman". From what I've been told, he is like that cart-horse character named Boxer in George Orwell's book Animal Farm who has much devotion to Animal Farm's ideals but little ability to think about them independently. He naively trusts the pigs to make all his decisions for him. His two mottoes are "I will work harder" and "Napoleon is always right." Stalinists everywhere can't ever succeed without these kinds of people.

Hmmm...it's been a couple of days of this thread now and still no Unionman.
Could it be he has seen the light...or just been blinded by it?
Isn't it remarkable that NO ONE has shown up yet (or at all) to defend or dispute the coopted machinations of MSEA?
Reminds me of the silence of the old Soviet Embassy in DC after Solzenytzen's publication of his Gulag Archipeligo.
Faced with irrefutable and verifable truth, the Stalinists just retreated back into their bunker knowing their lies wouldn't work on anybody anymore.
Evil people that they are, they can't fight this good fight so they just run and hide from the sun light like the nocturnal woodland creatures that they are.
BINGO Sonny, Man didn't take you long to figure the Union out. I too am surprised that democrat, unionman or some of the other Moonbats have not entered the discussion. Oh Wait, to have a good debate, ya gotta have FACTS. Damn pesky FACTS, they always get in the way of those folks. Oh Well!
I too say welcome aboard My Good Man. Enjoy reading ya.
Thank you Town Crier! I look forward to the march of the moonbats.
Maybe they're home right now reading Animal Farm for the first time and are having an epiphony.
Time will tell! Oh well, hope springs eternal, but in the meantime, I wouldn't loose any sleep waiting for them.
Their deafening silence says it all really.
Unionman was seen on another thread yesterday, so he must be dodging these significant flaws with his union/PAC buddies and their activities.
Can you blame him? I mean how could anyone truthfully defend the Moe, Curley & Larry managment team at MSEA. Of course Unionman could always lie and deny, but that won't get him very far since as Towncrier pointed out: "Facts are pesky things." They are indeed.
Due to concerns of the listed Chronology by Mr. Sullivan, I asked my field rep if any of this is valid. His response was that he will be forwarding this over to the director of field services for a response. I have not heard anything back thus far.
"The Bad News"

Biddleford Steve, my bet is your Field Rep has a standing order from MSEA Managment not to discuss the Roy/Sullivan matter with any of the MSEA members. And sooner or later you'll hear back from Rodney Hiltz, probably after you get sick of waiting and call him yourself, and he'll tell you these are confidential Personnel matters that he cannot discuss with you. But note that Sullivan sent a Memo about his termination to the MSEA Board on 12-23-08 (that he also copied a lot of MSEA members on), wherein he expressly waived any right to confidentiality he had so that Board members or MSEA Management could discuss these matters with MSEA members. So do tell Hiltz this when he says that and if Hiltz still insists that Sullivan's waiver doesn't matter (and Roy's reservation of rights to discuss same in her own settlement agreement doesn't matter either) then ask him why that is so? Why the cover up? Because clearly Roy and Sullivan have nothing to hide. My good guess is Hiltz also has standing orders from Tim Belcher not to discuss this matter with anyone BECAUSE they know they don't have a case or defense AND they don't want anyone (especially dues paying members) to know that. It would be their admission to mis-management and wrongdoing. Therefore, It's the old got-nothing-of-value-to-say so best keep your mouth shut and let people think you're a fool rather than opening up your mouth and proving it --- which is MSEA Management in a nutshell.
Mark, MSEA Management is already prepping their membership with the inevitable when they write this on their website: "In the Legislature and at the bargaining table, MSEA-SEIU members and staff are advocating for the services our members provide. This is an extraordinarily difficult time to negotiate public employee contracts and to advocate for public funding, yet we are determined to stand up for our members." I hate to say I told yo so, but the job of this State Democratic Party coopted MSEA Managment will be to sell the MSEA Members on what this Democratic Governor wants. And like I've said, maybe this is a good thing for Maine State taxpayers, but MSEA Managment isn't supposed to be representing the taxpayers anymore than say the Teamsters are supposed to be representing the Shareholders of any Corporate Managment the Teamsters are up against. Which of course begs the questions, why has MSEA Management given MSEA Members' hard earned dues, time and attention to this Democratic Party and Governor??? If ever there was a case to be made for partisan politics neutrality, this is it.
Was Rodney Hiltz a state trooper at one time?
I don't know. When MSEA hired him they said he was out of the Paper Mills where he was active in the union there. And from what I understand in his position with the Paper Mill union Hiltz only ever had to deal there with one collective bargaining agreement and one employer much like a steward. Now overnight, thanks to the "wisdom" of Tim Belcher who hired him, Hiltz has to supervise MSEA Field Service Reps who deal with multiple collective bargaining agreements and multiple employers. As such all the people he supervises have more collective bargaining experience than he does which means they don't really look to him for leadership. Which begs the question: why did Belcher hire him? My guess is Belcher, like a lot of insecure managers, wanted someone who wasn't ever going to be a threat to outshine him, would always do as he was told and also be a convenient scapegoat when things go wrong. After all, Nero never blames himself. But don't ever feel sorry for Rodney Hiltz, because what goes around, comes around.
If Mr. Sullivan did in fact post this, I would assume that he would have authorization to release this. Also I don't think he would release such statements without documentation to back it up so he would not be held liable for such statements. If this is all true however, its concerning to say the least. As a member of MSEA i would hope this is false. MSEA should respond to me and put my concerns to rest.
Biddleford Steve, if you read the beginning post on this thread, Mark Turek says he posted this Chronology per Owen Sullivan's request, so clearly this is an authorized release of information. As for verification and documentation, I suggest you quietly get ahold of Field Service Reps you know and trust (and not ones who keep referring you back to Rod Hiltz) and have them verify this Chronology off-the-record with you so they won't be unnecessarily exposed to retaliation by MSEA Managment. Ask them to go through it with you line by line over coffee when they are next down in your neck of the woods. They may even be able to provide you with documentation and or put you directly in touch with Sullivan himself as can Mark Turek. As for liability of statements made in this Chronology or else where, I frankly don't see any and even if there was, well, the truth will be the defense. And when you finally if ever get to sit down with MSEA Managment about this, assuming they will even talk to you about it, demand verifiable documentation from them also to see if it supports any of their allegations or charges.
Good luck getting Unionman to respond to anything concerning this.
Well Islander, you know the saying: never shoot an elephant unless you know you can kill it.
So maybe we're all not giving Unionman his due...he knows MSEA is a ship sinking and now he knows we all know...so best not to go down with it.
Better still, slip over the railing when no one is looking and quietly row your own lifeboat to another ship.
It's either that or be like Eric Honniker shouting over the Berlin Wall that all is fine in East Germany as more and more East Germans vote with their feet.
Since unionman has had a habit of putting his foot in his mouth, I've heard the puppet masters at SEIU have a new short leash and muzzle for him. It's likely that those restricting impliments have now been installed on unionman. Poor fella...
Well, that would explain a lot too and in light of what I've read and heard about SEIU's Stalinist-in-Chief Andrew Stern and the anti-democratic union stunts he has pulled in places like Puerto Rico with the Teachers Union and California with the Healthcare Workers Union, all kinds of SEIU staff people drink the purple koolaid at SEIU HQ in DC like Jonestown true believers and so only parrot the script given them or they just remain silent like zeks in a Siberian prison camp waiting and hoping for freedom. Google the name "Sal Roselli" to learn more about this Stalinization of SEIU by Andrew Stern and his gang. All of which of course begs the question: why is MSEA paying $1.8 million dollars a year of their members dues to be affiliated with this anti-union organization? Again, what's the trade off for the MSEA members besides purple tee shirts and hats? Surely Unionman can answer these questions.
The Union's response to that question Sonny is that they give the employee federal clout and a voice. All the while SEIU is laughing on the way to the bank with the dues money.
You're exactly right F-R! And as with any con by conmen, we dues paying victims who are getting ripped off need to put an end to this robbery otherwise it keeps going on and on with little or nothing to show for us except the purple hats and teeshirts. In fact, I am convinced that the only only other purpose of this Ponzi scheme, besides just enriching SEIU HQ and the Democrats, is to advance the SEIU career opportunities in DC of MSEA Managers in Augusta who keep selling us this fraud.
You're right, Sonny, but that money trail of greed also runs deep into the Baldacci Administration and involves a lot of our tax dollars. The number of political hacks making big money at the taxpayers expense is extremely large and should be addressed, but that's just part of this insane circle running our state.
Mark, I understand how that money trail of greed also runs deep into the Baldacci Administration (i.e. MSEA-SEIU funds for political campaigns), but how does this grand scheme also involve a lot of our tax dollars given Baldacci's current negotiating posture with MSEA (i.e. State has nothing so you get nothing) for the presently on-going Executive Branch bargaining?
I have been getting caught up on this threat from the last time I was on and WOW, I see we have Biddeford Steve being really naive of this Union and how it works. I do not know how long he's been in State Governement or if he has had to use the services of this Union. Well I have and I am not impressed at all. In fact if I could I would have fired them a long time ago but since they have gotten their way with the State and have Fairshare I have no choice in the matter unless I quit my job which I have had for over 20 years. Now that would be stupid but what they would love to see happen, or just give up. SORRY UNION, neither one of those things AIN'T HAPPENING! I am at this time in the middle of a grievence and so far see nothing from the Union being on my side, in fact they are bending towards the State so it just strengthens my belief of them being in bed with the State. So I will go along with this Joke of a Union and see what happens at the end of the tunnel, if there is one. I do know that they are getting ready for a new contract and it's been stated aound our office, Members should drop out and go the Fairshare route, which could weaken their ability to donate those funds to the Dems. Not an bad idea and even as a Fairshare member, they have to represent our interest. Something to think about, isn't it?
Towncrier, I have been an employee since 1990, and I too am in the midst of a grievance. Like yourself, I feel representation should be better. I have had concerns for quite some time. I have written many of our past field reps, spoken to Tim Belcher and others. I have emails from my managers saying that you can't train into other positions unless you qualify for the job by bid and yet they allow people "temps" to do the job even though in many cases at the time they had the same or less qualifications than long term employees. You would think that MSEA would look into this. I certainly have brought up my concerns to MSEA as have many other employees that I know.
So I see it's working as well for you as it has been for Me. LOL, Well welcome to my world and maybe enough will figure out these CON ARTISTS and we can get rid of them once and for all. I htink there must be a better way to get some good represeation, right now my thoughts are on what I have to do with this mess they have me in. Best of luck to you.
Towncrier, at first glance, going the "fair share" route on MSEA seems like an interesting tactic, kind of like a low grade boycott. But my only concern about this is as "fair share" participants do you get to vote for or against the collective bargaining agreements, stewards and union officers? Or do you have to be full dues paying member to do all of that? Because if you do then you may want to think twice about giving up your membership because that would also qualify you (I think) to do a card check de-certification vote of MSEA. I don't know if "fair share" people can vote on de-certification or not. But remember, labor unions can't (as of yet) be certified as bargaining unit agents via card check, however they can be de-certified via card check. And that's a powerful threat that union members like yourself can use to bring about reform and control of your labor union. Just beware, while it is easy to de-certify a union like MSEA, it's still harder (so far anyway) to certify another union to come in and replace MSEA. Therefore, I would suggest inviting another labor union like AFSCME or whoever to come and make a sales pitch to your bargaining unit BUT be sure to also invite MSEA to come and sit in the audience if for nothing else to feel the heat of the free market. Then when the AFSCME pitch is done, turn around and demand how and when can MSEA do better? Or else!
Biddleford Steve, you would think MSEA-SEIU would look into this and be your champion... but they don't and they aren't...because they've been politically coopted by the Democratic Party of Maine and the United States. I mean just think about what you want MSEA-SEIU to do for you here: to oppose the management practices of the Democratic Baldacci administration. Imagine what would happen if Tim Belcher actually took up your cause and filed a grievance and or a prohibitive practice complaint for you...then just like that....the Governor's Office would call Tim Belcher on his cell phone and tell him to knock it off...and that would be that. See how it works? And that's why Belcher and MSEA-SEIU don't even bother.
Sonny, sorry for the delayed response to your question ("how does this grand scheme also involve a lot of our tax dollars given Baldacci's current negotiating posture with MSEA (i.e. State has nothing so you get nothing) for the presently on-going Executive Branch bargaining?").
Since Baldacci agreed to MSEA's push for Forced Unionism during his first term, his past campaign supporters are now holding a lot of new and easy cash from those forced dues/fees payments...which are essentially our tax dollars. Since we all know MSEA does a huge amount of political campaigning, there are certainly some negotiations taking place who and what will get how much support from both them and their parent union/PAC with even deeper pockets (SEIU). We have a very sick political system in Augusta, but I trust it will be corrected some day.
Mark, thanks for getting back to me. Well, that would explain a lot really. MSEA-SEIU support Baldacci for Governor, Governor in turn once elected permits "fair share" (which beats MSEA-SEIU having to get off their ass and organize) and in turn MSEA-SEIU keep the rest of us down on the farm so to speak by not challenging the Baldacci Administration too much or too often via the Grievance Procedure, NLRB/MLRB Prohibitive Practice Complaints or Human Rights Commission complaints. So while "fair share" has been a financial bonanza for MSEA-SEIU, it's also been a disincentive for the labor union to have to zealously represent their dues paying members versus the State given this obvious political conflict of interest. And the only way out of this conundrum is through radical reform and re-alignment which only ever comes about from below by people sick and tired of all of this shady politics from above. Concerned MSEA members are going to have to take back their Board of Directors and kick their present Moe, Curley and Larry managment team to the curb before any of the damage from this political sell out and mismanagment will stop.
To be honest, i was wondering why the union didn't act on the training temps but not full time people thing however when mngt sent me that email response and also cc'd my steward and rep I heard nothing.

A Pilot Study of Suicide Assessment in Rural Adults
Kelly Cukrowicz, Ph.D., Texas Tech University
2012 Pilot Research Grant
Inside the Research
Bio: Dr. Cukrowicz received her doctorate from Florida State University in 2005. She is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology at Texas Tech University. She is a previous recipient of an AFSP Standard Research Grant in which she studied perceived burdensomeness in older males.
Research Categories: Rural areas, older adults, community-based research on suicidal ideation and behavior
Abstract: Suicide in rural areas has not received significant attention in the research literature, even though some studies indicate that suicide rates are higher among adults and older adults in rural areas than in urban areas. The aims of this study are (1) to establish the feasibility of assessing suicide risk in rural communities with limited access to referral care; (2) to determine a preliminary estimate of the prevalence of suicide ideation, self-injury, and history of suicide attempts in these rural communities; and (3) to examine the effectiveness and acceptability of safety and referral plans for individuals whose responses indicate elevated suicide risk. Participants will be adults aged 40 and older residing in Cochran or Parmer Counties in West Texas. This pilot study will provide necessary data for a future study of risk factors associated with suicide ideation and suicidal behavior in rural locales.
Impact: To determine the needs of the elderly in rural areas who are experiencing suicidal ideation or behavior, and to inform the development of targeted interventions.

Is movie about Texas school board a horror tale or a comedy?
It feels wrong to laugh so often during a documentary about public education.
But how else does one respond to a scene where the former head of the Texas State Board of Education explains how dinosaurs were able to fit on Noah's Ark? Or the parts where the same guy, Bryan dentist Don McLeroy, quizzes patients about evolution and sings them Bible songs while they sit captive, mouths full of metal tools, in the dentist's chair?
My personal favorite, and the scene McLeroy tells me gets the most laughs at the screenings he's attended, shows him in a board meeting, insisting on replacing a "hip hop" reference in social studies curriculum with "country music." I don't think many of us who grew up on those beloved ballads of cheatin' and drankin' would ever argue their moral superiority over sinning celebrated in other musical genres.
But it's precisely this hilarity and absurdity that makes the documentary, "The Revisionaries," a must-see for anybody who cares about public education and what, exactly, Texas' 5 million public schoolchildren are learning these days.
"It's hilarious and painful at the same time," says Thomas Ratliff, the Mount Pleasant Republican who took McLeroy's seat in the last election. "Anybody that sees it, I think it scares the jeepers out of them. It's a real eye-opener."
The documentary, which follows Texas' 15-member education board through explosive battles over how to teach evolution and rewrite U.S. history in 2009 and 2010, premiers in Houston at Sundance Cinemas on Oct. 12. McLeroy himself will host a matinee on Oct. 13.
The film underscores the influence of the board not just in Texas, but across America, given Texas' role as one of the gatekeepers of the national textbook market.
McLeroy's portrayal
In the film by Scott Thurman, McLeroy is both protagonist and antagonist. We see him as a person, an affable, genuine guy who's polite even to those with whom he disagrees, a Sunday school teacher and young-Earth creationist who doesn't try to hide his admittedly imperfect belief that humans coexisted with dinosaurs but claims he's not trying to inject his beliefs into curriculum.
Then we see the other side: McLeroy, hard-charging leader of the board's Right Wing bloc, general of the classroom culture wars, doing battle with the "godless left wing," injecting politics at every turn with accomplice and fellow board member Cynthia Dunbar, who at one point in the film prays for the Lord to "invade" our schools.
McLeroy and his cohorts stand up to the science and history "experts" because, after all, somebody has to, and to folks at the Texas Freedom Network, an Austin-based watchdog organization that seeks to counter the religious right agenda.
We see the messy, confusing process entrusted to 15 citizens who themselves often seem confused, overwhelmed, even bored by the debates over science and history. At one point, a board veteran admits, "I've learned I shouldn't vote on things I don't understand." And she's one of the good ones.
When McLeroy loses his chairmanship, he declares it Providence. Free from the bonds of a leadership position requiring the appearance of neutrality, he gleefully sets about pushing a torrent of amendments to history standards aimed at skewing everything from minority contributions to the definition of church and state. He's like a kid testing the limits of a new toy gun.
All that said, the film's even-handed treatment of McLeroy had me both rooting against his campaign to cast doubt on the theory of evolution, for instance, and somehow also sharing in his anguish when he loses his seat on the board to Ratliff, a moderate Republican.
McLeroy told me this week that he finds the film fair. The laughter doesn't bother him, nor the ribbing he took from Stephen Colbert, who mocked McLeroy's philosophy as "reality by majority vote."
At least, McLeroy says, "there was a vote. We voted. It's not decided by some elite bureaucratic experts who are not in touch with people."
The fact that the film doesn't preach or criticize makes it all the more powerful, says Ron Wetherington, a Southern Methodist University anthropology professor who serves as McLeroy's foil in attempts to restore logic and science back into the debate.
"The effect, because it doesn't have an ax to grind, or an agenda to advance, is all the more disturbing," Wetherington said.
Hoping to spur vote
He says he doesn't expect the film to change minds before the election, but hopes it brings out those who wouldn't otherwise vote. The film's Texas premiere just weeks before Election Day is a reminder of what can happen to our grand democratic experiment when we leave the laboratory unsupervised, when we forget the significance that even down-ballot races have on the future of our state. McLeroy, as the documentary reminds us, lost his seat by only 402 votes, with less than 20 percent of the electorate showing up.
This year, because of redistricting, all 15 seats on the State Board of Education are up for grabs. The new board will choose science and social studies textbooks that will be in classrooms for years to come.

There's an old story that goes something like this:
A visitor arrives at an IT department and approaches a software developer. He asks him what he's doing, to which the developer replies:
"Writing code."
He walks to the next cubicle and asks the same question of another developer. He replies:
"Building a web page."
He walks to the next cubicle and asks the same question of yet a third developer, to which she replies:
"Writing a piece of web-based software that will make it easier for our customer service reps to assist customers."
Why are their answers so important?
Knowing Where You Fit
Someone who knows what they're building can see their place in the big picture. They realize the importance of their work and know without explanation why it's important. If the application begins to crash in the production environment and someone comes running for the developer, won't they have a greater sense of urgency if they know it's affecting the company's bottom line?
A Sense of Purpose
People who know what they're building have a sense of purpose. It makes them feel as if they are serving a greater good, whether that good is a single person, a department, or the entire company. Purpose makes people work a few extra hours to finish a project on time. Purpose makes developers take one more crack at fixing a hard to find bug.
If You're a Developer
Ask about the big picture. Find out why it's so important that all of a sudden every button on the account summary page has to be red instead of green. Ask your manager, his manager, or the guy in marketing. If you ask questions with an obvious posture of learning, people will notice and appreciate the fact that you care.
If You're a Manager
Educate your developers. Talk to them about what the company does from a broader perspective, and make them see why it's so important that an application works. Show them how it helped generate a huge amount of revenue for the company, or how it allows the finance department to reconcile month end numbers in an hour instead of three days. At the beginning of every new assignment, ask them if they know what they're building.

MOSCOW (AP) — Russia and the Arab League offered Wednesday to broker talks between the Syrian government and the opposition to end the country's two-year civil war.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Russia and the Arab League are attempting to establish direct contact between the two sides of the conflict, which the U.N. says has killed at least 70,000 people. He spoke as he hosted Arab League officials and the foreign ministers of Egypt, Lebanon and other countries in Moscow.
Lavrov said Syrian President Bashar Assad's government and the opposition need to "sit down at the negotiating table," which he said was the only possible way of ending the conflict without irreparably damaging Syria.
"Neither side can allow itself to rely on a military solution to the conflict, because it's a road to nowhere, a road to mutual destruction of the people," Lavrov told reporters.
Both Lavrov and Arab League General Secretary Nabil Elaraby said their main priority was creating a transitional government in Syria to navigate a way out of the conflict.
Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem will lead a delegation to Moscow on Monday, and Russia is expecting a visit in March from the Syrian National Coalition leader, Mouaz al-Khatib.
No conditions for the Syrian negotiations have been set. Lavrov said both sides' readiness to begin talks was "the most important thing."

"Born 1941 in Hillsborough, Illinois and raised in California, he received formal art instruction at the College of the Sequoias, Fresno State University and Brooks Institute, School of Fine Art in Santa Barbara."
"Art connoisseurs consider Darrell M. Hill "one of the finest bold impressionists alive today." The subjects of Hill's paintings are as diverse as the Hawaiian paradise in which he lives ? beaches, florals, tropics, landscapes and beautiful native people ? but the "Hill touch" is unmistakable in each of his works.
Strong contrast, bold use of color, and light with surface texture are hallmarks of Hill's paintings. He has a gift for observation and the ability to paint with both freshness and emotion. Darrell Hill paintings, which are featured in collections worldwide, capture the moment of light that often reflects a story. They are described as colorful and comforting, warm and inviting and sometimes, courageous.
As demand for his work grew, it became necessary for Hill to devote his full energies to gallery sales and the creation of larger paintings. Many of his works are over nine feet. Since making that decision he has enjoyed outstanding success in his career; which now spans more than two decades. In addition to his beautiful work in oil, Hill also works in watercolor and drawing.
Influential in Hill's work are such artists as Monet, John Singer Sargent, Joaquin Sorolla, Van Gough, Klimt and Gauguin."

Event detail
Charles Howard: A Margin of Chaos
Exhibit - Painting | June 21 – October 1, 2017 every Sunday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday & Saturday | Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive
Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive
The work of Bay Area artist Charles Houghton Howard (18991978) spans five decades, beginning in the mid-1920s and continuing into the 1960s. During his active and distinguished career, Howard became known for enigmatic, meticulous paintings, often intimate in scale, that bridged figurative, Surrealist, and abstract currents in modern art across the United States and Europe. Fluid lines, suspended forms, exquisite sense of balance and proportion, and elusive imagery characterize Howards arresting style. Organized by BAMPFA, this exhibition is the first museum survey of Howards singular oeuvre in a US museum in over sixty years. This career-spanning exhibition features approximately fifty of Howards paintings and works on paper.
Curated by Apsara DiQuinzio, curator of modern and contemporary art and Phyllis C. Wattis MATRIX Curator at BAMPFA, the presentation will be accompanied by a fully illustrated catalog, the first ever scholarly publication to explore Howard's work and life.

Hasta la vista!June 25, 2009 — Deacon Duncan
Well, I thought I was going to squeeze in a couple more days of blogging, but it looks now like that's not going to happen. This is the year that my wife and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary, my son turned 18 and graduated from high school, and my daughter turned 16, and we are going to Mexico for a grand one-trip-celebrates-all. Yay vacation! So that's going to leave me incommunicado for a while.
Y'all take care and be good while I'm gone, k?

Pat Boone is America's original 'American Idol'. He will be in the Chicago area at the Drury Lane Theatre in Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois on Monday, May 13 and Tuesday, May 14 at 1:30 p.m. If you're one of his millions of baby boomer or pre-boomer admirers from the 1950s and 1960s, this is one live show you won't want to miss.
Remember April Love, Love Letters In The Sand, Tutti Frutti, Moody River, Ain't That a Shame, Bernadine, Speedy Gonzales, Mr. Blue, Oh Boy, Exodus, Don't Forbid Me, and Long Tall Sally. That's just a token few of his best-selling hits in a career that's spanned 60-plus years. From 1955 to 1962, he had an amazing 54 hit singles. Boone has had nearly 40 "Top 40″ hits, has sold over 45 million albums and starred in more than 15 Hollywood films. And don't forget he's the author of many books, including "Twixt, Twelve and Twenty".
In an intimate setting, Pat takes the audience through an autobiographical portrait of his 50-plus year singing-acting- television-writing career in show business. He's won so many accolades through the years which would astound most of his fans.
Pat Boone spoke candidly and graciously in a telephone interview prior to his performance from his home in Beverly Hills. At 78, he's dramatically slowing his touring career down to stay at home and enjoy home life with Shirley, his wife of 60 years, his four married daughters, plus grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
He told us he married at 19, and graduated Columbia University in New York City at 23 with a wife and four daughters in a record-breaking 3 ½ years. He was originally going to be a teacher, but wisely chose singing as his first choice. His own idol was the famous crooner, Bing Crosby.
"I have a demented, weird sense of humor," he admitted, which is opposite to his all-American, clean-cut reputation. Pat talked about his friendly rivalry with Elvis, calling Elvis "pepper" to his "salt." Both were raised in lower-middle-class, church-going homes – and Elvis actually opened one of Pat's stage shows. They last saw one another in an airport one month before Elvis's death at 42, when Elvis didn't seem as energetic as his old self. Pat commented on how much weight his friend had gained.
Since seniors usually think of themselves as 10 to 15 years younger than their chronological years, we were surprised to learn he feels like 40 years old. We guess that means Pat Boone will be around for a long time, for which we are grateful.
The performance schedule is as follows: Monday, May 13, 2013 at 1:30 p.m. and Tuesday, May 14, 2013 at 1:30 p.m. Show only tickets are $55. Lunch and show tickets are $70. Subscriber and group discounts are available. For reservations, call the Drury Lane Theatre box office at 630.530.0111, or TicketMaster at 800.745.3000.

About the Drury Lane Theatre
The Drury Lane that you know and love is undergoing a major renovation. The first phase was redesigning the 27,000 square foot Grand Ballroom, the Main Lobby and Cocktail Lounge plus the French and English Rooms. "For almost 30 years, we've had the honor of hosting thousands of celebrations and special events and our guests have become part of the Drury Lane family. We are thrilled to continue this tradition with a new generation of guests," said DeSantis. "We can't wait to introduce our beautiful new space."
The renovated Grand Ballroom, Main Lobby and Cocktail Lounge feature a seamless blend of classic sophistication with chic modern elements. Designer Shannon Leoni created a soothing neutral color palette for each space. The soft blue and cream walls in the Grand Ballroom flawlessly complement the stylish custom Stark paisley carpeting, which is based on a design found in a palace in St. Petersburg. New furnishings include tasteful brushed bronze upholstered chairs. The majestic crystal chandeliers in the Grand Ballroom provide a touch of Old World grandeur. The state-of-the-art Grand Ballroom accommodates up to 1,800 guests, and has the capability to divide into several smaller, more intimate rooms. The space has been designed to suit a wide range of events, from black tie galas to corporate meetings and trade shows.
Drury Lane Theatre is an elegant 971-seat venue. For more information regarding booking an event at Drury Lane, call 630-530-8300.

When realtor Bill Campbell, reached out to Tom Colicchio, restaurateur/chef owner and award–winning cookbook author to do a restaurant at the former Bull's Head Inn space in Bridgehampton, the very confident and composed Tom agreed. Colicchio, however needed the entire project to be part and parcel with the restaurant. Along with a 47-seat dining room there is a 20-seat bar, a 40-seat private dining room, and a future inn with outdoor dining in season.
The Topping Rose House opened in early fall of 2012. Although the restaurant opened after the so-called Hamptons season, all the moving parts went very smoothly, according to Colicchio. An experienced restaurateur with his Craft restaurants in New York City, San Francisco and Las Vegas, Colicchio understands how to "think like a chef." In fact he wrote a book about it, and his mission is to find and train the most creative professionals in the field to work at his restaurants. With a great management team he has the confidence to give them free range to create. To wit, Ty Kotz, a professionally trained CIA graduate, now Chef de Cuisine at Topping Rose, works with Colicchio's farm–to–table concept—a concept that has crept into the culinary ideology throughout the East End. The restaurant is certainly in the right place to realize the mission.
I was delighted to learn that Tom Colicchio is a great fan of Jacques Pepin, a man I worked with at my cooking school for the 12 years after founding it; and my mentor. He was given Jacques book, La Technique at age 16. "It wasn't about recipes," Tom said, "but about techniques, and it completely changed my life." To his credit, Colicchio is also a food policy advocate and voices his food safety issues to Federal lawmakers. And I say "bravo Tom, to Bravo's Top Chef."
For this recipe, Tom Colicchio sautés the leaves and stems separately, as it should be done.
Serves 6
2 pounds Swiss chard
Kosher salt
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 large garlic clove, peeled and sliced
Freshly ground black pepper
1. Trim only discolored leaves from the chard. Separate the leaves from the stems, then wash in several changes of water. Cut the stems into 2 1/2-inch pieces.
2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Blanche the leaves (plunge them into the water; remove them with a slotted spoon as soon as the water returns to a boil), refresh them in ice water, then blot dry with a clean towel. Add the stems until they are almost tender, about 3 minutes, then refresh them in ice water. Blot dry and set aside with the leaves.
3. Combine the olive oil and garlic in a large skillet and warm over low heat. When the garlic begins to color, add the chard leaves and stems. Warm the chard in the garlic-infused oil just until tender, about 5 minutes. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper and serve.
Cod is mild and meaty, so it pairs nicely with the tangy acidity of a sauce like salsa verde, which is an option.
Serves 6
4 tablespoons peanut oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
6 1 1/4-inch thick 7 1/4-ounce skin on cod
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 sprigs fresh thyme
About 1 1/4 cups salsa verde, optional
Warm 2 large skillets over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the oil to each. Salt and pepper the fish fillets and place three, skin side down, in each pan. Pan-roast the fish until the skin is crisp and the flesh is opaque about a fourth of the way up each fillet, about 7 minutes. Turn the fish fillets over and reduce the heat to medium. Add half the butter and thyme to each skillet and cook, basting the fish with the melted butter. Cook the cod (which is best cooked through) about 5 minutes more.
The fish can alternately be cooked in batches, wiping the pan clean in between. Serve with salsa verde, if desired.
Makes about 1 1/4 cups
1 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons capers, rinsed and chopped
2 anchovies, minced
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
About 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Combine the parsley, capers, anchovies and mustard in a bowl. Gradually mix in just enough olive oil so the sauce holds together. Shortly before serving add the lemon juice and adjust seasoning if necessary with salt and pepper. Using two spoons form the salsa verde into quenelles.

John Sickels reviews his last White Sox prospects list (original list from December 9, 2009):
1) Dan Hudson, RHP, Grade B+: 3.47 ERA, 108/31 K/BB in 93 innings in Triple-A, 81 hits. 2-1, 4.56 with 18/12 K/BB in 24 innings so far in the majors. The White Sox will regret trading him.
2) Jared Mitchell, OF, Grade B: Missed entire season with nasty ankle injury. Rehab reportedly going well.
3) Tyler Flowers, C, Grade B: .220/.326/.447, 16 homers, 106 strikeouts in 83 games for Triple-A Charlotte. Has drawn some walks but strikeouts are eating him up. Stock dropping.
4) Brent Morel, 3B, Grade B-: .313/.354/.439 combined between Double-A and Triple-A. Doesn't hit for much home run power and his walk rate is low this year, but has good contact hitting skills and a strong glove. …

I haven't done too bad lately in the stash department. Between taking a road trip with my Tuesday stitch group, we went to Welcome Stitchery outside Chicago, IL earlier this month and a vacation down to Branson, Missouri I was able to get some new Littlehouse Needlework patterns, a new Blackbird Design, some new R&R fabric and a new LK patriotric pattern that I started yesterday and hope to finish today and make into a pinkeep. I am thinking of having my friend's husband make me a hornbook for the LHN pattern Bless This House and instead of having a round hole having him make a star. I think that would really look nice for a finishing piece to that pattern. That will be the next thing I stitch after the LK is complete.

Stitching to Share!
Yesterday the weather was really nice here and I was in the mood to dig out my summer/Patriotic things so I thought I would share some pictures of things I have stitched over the years. As I was putting things out I was looking at when I stitched them and it got me thinking...how many of you put your initials and date of when you stitched a piece? I am not sure if I really remember why I got into the habit of doing that but I do on my personal pieces I stitch for myself. I guess its kind of neat to think back that that piece I have had for "x" number of years.
Anyway hope you enjoy seeing the pictures. These are displayed on my blanket box as you enter my home.

Lemon Sponge Cake Contemporary Ballet arrives in Denver Wednesday, June 11 to perform two nights of the 15-minute work "Leopoldstadt 22" at the Mizel Museum, Denver's repository for Jewish art and culture.
Sher-Machherndl describes the piece as "a powerful commentary on human suffering as it relates to the Holocaust." It will be followed by a panel discussion on topics such as history's impact on artistic expression and reclaiming lost places.
The piece is named for the Jewish quarter of Vienna, Austria, where Sher-Machherndl was born. Mizel Museum Director of Education Jan Nadav will modreate the discussion with Sher-Maccherndl and others.

The purchasing power of workers in Shanghai and Beijing is growing closer to that in many European cities.
The China Employee Benefits Index (CEBI) is the first index of employee social protection in China.
The complicated working environment presents great obstacles for officials and activists of trade unions.
Trade unions should strive within the legal framework for rights and benefits both for workers and themselves.
Over the past year, trade unions across China have done their utmost to uphold migrant workers' rights, scoring substantial achievements.
An employer who maliciously defaulted on workers' wages were sentenced to two and a half years in prison and a fine of up to 50,000 yuan.
Sichuan Trade Union Federation opened a hotline besides offering legal aid on its micro blog.

Ndamukong Suh says Packers fail 'Football 101 for Dummies'
Detroit Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh, whose team just finished a 4-12 season, felt the need to tutor his division rivals on football basics after his Green Bay Packers counterpart B.J. Raji was penalized for encroachment on a 4th and 1 late in the fourth quarter of the Packers' 45-31 loss to the San Francisco 49ers.
THRASHED:Kaepernick, 49ers exert will on Packers
The penalty was costly, giving the 49ers a first down in the red zone. They'd score a touchdown three plays later to go up 21 points and seal the game for good.
Via @ndamukong_suh:
"Football 101 for Dummies. D-Line DO NOT jump on 4th & 1 Yard to go!!!!"
While Suh is correct is his assessment, Packers fans didn't take kindly to the reminder, bringing up reminders of his numerous fines for dirty play, his team's lack of playoff prowess and more on Twitter.
It's somewhat surprising that he would comment on fellow 26-year-old Raji, who, in addition to mastering the discount double check, has managed to be one of the other top defensive tackles in the NFC over the past few years.
Since Raji is probably too busy shaking off the loss to respond, we put together some NFL Statistics 101 for Dummies that Suh might want to check out.

I've been the sole developer of a niche product for my company for nearly 6 years. I've grown quite attached to the project and I enjoy working on it. However, it was the decision of management to take the project out of my hands and move it under the wings of another team.
Unfortunately, I'm having a hard time letting go of the project. I'm sad to see it leave my hands since I've put so much time into it and enjoyed working on it, but it also allows me to work on new things. I've even caught myself being a bit hostile to the other team, which is poor on my part.
How can I convince myself to just let it go?

| 11.4°C Belfast
The UK is working with international partners to draw up a new United Nations security council (UNSC) resolution on Syria in response to the deteriorating humanitarian situation.
Foreign Secretary William Hague said there was a "compelling" case for the UNSC to take a fresh look at the issue following the "barrel bomb" attack on Aleppo.
He condemned the "grotesque and utterly unacceptable" situation in Homs and other besieged areas, where president Bashar Assad's regime have been accused of trying to starve the population into submission.
The Foreign Office confirmed that efforts to bring the issue back for discussion by the UNSC had begun.
"We are working with partners on a text which we hope to present later this week," the spokesman said.
Speaking after a meeting with German counterpart Frank-Walter Steinmeier, Mr Hague said: " I deplore the reported killing of over 80 people in Aleppo this weekend, by the regime deliberately unleashing barrel bombs on the civilian population.
"It comes on top of the deliberate starvation of civilians in Homs and other besieged areas, which is grotesque and utterly unacceptable.
"The United Kingdom also believes that there is a compelling case for bringing the humanitarian situation back under discussion in the security council. I have discussed with the (German) foreign minister today this and other steps to ensure that aid reaches all those in Syria who need it.
"Both our countries are making a strong practical contribution to the destruction of Syria's chemical arsenal. We call on the Russian government to urge the regime to accelerate the work to deal with its chemical weapons and related material.
"And we will continue to work together in support of the Geneva II process - including the full participation for Syrian women, which we have long called for."

In 1835, the British East India Company leased theregion around the location of the modern-day city of Darjeeling.
The British had more than a strategically placed trading post in mind because of the favourableclimate, they wanted to build a sanitorium there as well!
That climate, which was to bring relief to sanitoriumvisitors, can be thanked for one of the most sought-aftertea varieties in the world: Darjeeling. Tea connoisseurs from around the globe treasure the extremely fine andflowery aroma of the First Flush, the first harvest of the years new growth. But the many flavours of teas fromthe following harvests are also unsurpassed.
For a long time, only traditional black tea was produced in Darjeeling. In the meantime, however, other teas areexported by the region, teas produced by differentfermentation techniques. So these days, for example, Green Darjeeling is not the rarity it once was.
To make the tea varieties more distinguishable, as wellas making other Regions which chiefly produce othertea varieties playable via alternate playing area setups (shown at the end of the rules), the tea crates in the game are black, green white and red for black tea,green tea, white tea and Pu-Erh, sometimes also calledred tea, respectively.
While searching for the best teas, the players cross the entire region and assemble the largest shipmentspossible for each individual tea variety. The latest teasto be loaded are always worth more victory points thanthe older ones, as tea connoisseurs naturally prefer thefreshest cargo. But preferences for individual teavarieties also bring the players victory points whileloading shipments.
The game ends as soon as one player has reached 100 victory points.

If German cities were schoolchildren then Darmstadt would be top of the class. Highly educated, well read, cultivated, immaculately groomed and with a range of interests. Through science, literature, art and architecture, Darmstadt has developed a wholly unique appeal that has earned it much acclaim.
The establishment of the Mathildenhöhe artists colony more than 100 years ago played its part in raising Darmstadt to prominence. Magnificent art nouveau houses give this hill of muses an unmistakable character. In the immediate post-war period, general malaise and a lack of housing plagued life in Darmstadt, which at the time was almost completely destroyed. But after 1949, the city experienced a second cultural dawn, which led to the foundation of innovative organisations and the systematic establishment of 'smokeless industry'. Today, Darmstadt boasts a great many publishing houses and graphic design studios, as well as the European Space Agency's satellite control centre and internationally acclaimed institutes for literature, art and music. The award ceremony for Germany's most prestigious literature prize – the Georg Büchner Award – also takes place in Darmstadt. Other cultural highlights include the Hessian State Museum, home to the world's largest Joseph Beuys collection, the Kunsthalle art museum, the State Theatre, a vibrant music and entertainment scene and lots of art galleries. And in 1999 Darmstadt unveiled another fantastic entertainment institution in the shape of Centralstation. This heritage-listed former power station is now a venue for theatre productions, readings, exhibitions, concerts and club nights.
But that's not all. Other attractions include the Old Town Hall, Luisenplatz square, the palace on the market square, St. Ludwig's church, St. Paul's church, the octagonal house and the orangery, as well as Rosenhöhe hill and the Russian Orthodox church with its enchanting grove of plane trees. Then there's the UNESCO World Heritage Messel Pit Fossil Site, which opens a window to the past, and in particular to our planet's early history. Last but not least is the Waldspirale apartment building designed by Austria's Friedensreich Hundertwasser, who sought to realise his unique vision of housing with this, one of his later works. Discussion group Darmstädter Gespräche has also been causing a stir since it was first established in 1950. Renamed Neue Darmstädter Gespräche in 2005, the group's regular talks address current philosophical and social topics. Another survivor of the post-war period is the annual Heinerfest, which was first held in 1951 amid the ruins of the city. This festival offers conclusive proof – if proof were needed – that the erudite people of Darmstadt aren't afraid to let their hair down. Why not join them?

By Malou Navio, CFCA Antipolo project coordinator
Sponsored girl Rachel is one of the many survivors struggling from the severe impact of Typhoons Ondoy and Pepeng (Ketsana and Parma). She and her family are in deep pain and in severe difficulty. After saving little children from the day-care center of their neighborhood, her 19-year-old brother, Roy, was killed by the mudslides with big boulders.
Six people in their neighborhood were killed. Three were rescuers. Their bodies, including Royís, drowned in the horrible flood and could not be found. The flood washed away Rachelís home and many homes in their neighborhood.
ìIím praying to God to help us and strengthen us to surpass this difficulty," Rachel said.
Rachel is a third-year high school student. She is the youngest among the six children. Three siblings each have their own family. They live in the same neighborhood. A brother is working as an on-call helper in another province.
Her father, Ricardo, used to earn a living as a contractual construction worker or on-call driver. Her mother, Corazon, as well as her married siblings, used to earn money from accepting laundry work. Both sources of livelihood are impossible. Her father lost his carpentry tools, identification and license to flooding. Her mother could not accept laundry because of the cloudy river water.
They cannot be accommodated in the evacuation centers because the centers are already full. They must live with Rachelís sister and her family in a small makeshift abode. They are very congested. They take turns sleeping on a wooden cot. Water is rationed. No comfort rooms. Her mother is becoming thin and sickly.
Their community is called Labahan, a place known for people whose livelihood is doing laundry by hand at the nearby river. Their previous livelihood was scavenging from the garbage dumpsite.
ìWe have a good neighborhood,î Corazon said, while crying. ìWe help each other. However, at present, all of us have nothing. We are equally affected by Typhoon Ondoy.î
Ricardo, though very sad, is hopeful to start over again.
ìWe are praying for Divine assistance and to the people not affected by the typhoon to help us rise,î he said.
ìThanks to the presence of the CFCA staff,î Corazon added. ìThey lighten our heavy feelings.î
ìThanks for being concerned and for helping,î Rachel said.

Cushion inners to dress up or down
Cushions are ideal for brightening up a room, and are always welcome additions to sofas, chairs and even floors. There's nothing quite like lying back on a great, comfortable pile of them and getting away from it all for a while. They're great for the living room, bedroom or the kids' rooms, and contribute to a real sense of cosiness and warmth. But while their covers bring the essential dashes of colour, it's the cushion inners that really make a decent cushion. You need something that you can sink your head into, but that will also provide enough support to prevent neck ache.
Cushion inners in different sizes
AT IKEA, we sell cushion inners separately, so that you can quickly and easily change the look and mood of your décor whenever you want, without being stuck with a closet full of different styles. Check out our FJÄDRAR and INNER cushion inners, which come in 50X50 cm and 40X60 cm. Mix and match shapes and colours to suit your needs and wishes; we've got a great range of textile accessories to let you rest at ease.

Hemanth necesitaba un nuevo diseño de tema de wordpress y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 50 diseños de 10 diseñadores freelance.
I am a Blog Consultant for clbuzz.com
This site is Complete Sports Entertainment from Breaking News to Fixtures, Live Streams, Scores and more... and hence targets the Whole World
Hello there,
This is a new Upcoming Sports website namely (clbuzz.com). I started this with an intention to cover only "Championship League Sports" type articles, but decided to cover all major sports buzz (Basically Latest Sports News (Only Headliners) & Events).
I'm looking for a great theme designer who is willing to work with me to create a new identity for this site as I am looking towards improving my site's brand. I don't want to be using the Arthemia Premium Theme that so many other Theme developers already use.
What I have done so far;
Just Bought myself an Arthemia Premium Wordpress theme, as I think its the best just to do the basis setup. But Arthemia Premium theme is in use already by most of the Entertainment or Sports related sites online. So Once a Custom theme from your side is done, I would remove the Arthemia Premium. But till now, I have found Arthemia with its whole lot of features, one of the best..
I am looking for a really good redesign for this blog and need a professional WP Designer to do the job. The moment a visitor arrives on the site, it must reflect that this is THE site for "Latest in SPORTS Buzz" and would like to find someone that is experienced in WP and experienced in logo and site design.
The Main source of Income for the site would be via Google Adsense Ads. The template should easily blend the Google Ads within it.
The best features of my favorite sites like http://espn.go.com/ / http://sports.yahoo.com/ can be taken and used for the design.

History and Physical Exam for Heart FailureSkip to the navigation
Exam Overview
Your medical history includes anything about your past and present health-conditions you used to have or conditions you have now. Tell your doctor about medical problems of any type, including any surgery that you have had. When giving your doctor your medical history, be complete and detailed in your descriptions. Even if an illness is completely gone or does not seem important to you, knowing about that problem may help your doctor diagnose heart failure . Also, knowing all of your past and present medical problems will help your doctor decide the best way to care for your condition.
As part of your medical history, you should also review with your doctor the medicines that you currently are taking. This is best done by bringing an updated list of the names and dosages of all the medicines that you are taking.
In addition to the medical conditions that you have had or now have, your doctor will want to know about several factors that increase your risk for developing heart failure. Since coronary artery disease (CAD) is a cause of heart failure, risk factors for heart failure include the major risk factors for CAD, such as smoking, diabetes, high total cholesterol or LDL cholesterol, high blood pressure, advanced age, and being male. Drinking too much alcohol is also a risk factor for heart failure. Your doctor will take into account all of the risk factors you have when trying to determine whether you have heart failure. The more risk factors you have and the more severe they are, the greater your chance of having heart failure.
If other members of your family have developed heart failure at a young age, you may be at risk for developing a genetic form of heart failure. In addition, if several members of your family also have had diseases that are risk factors for heart failure, such as hypertension or diabetes, you may be at increased risk for those diseases, which also increases your risk for developing heart failure.
During a medical history and physical exam, the doctor will ask about symptoms (such as shortness of breath, swelling, and coughing), recent or past illnesses (such as heart attack, viral illness, high blood pressure, and diabetes), physical activity, breathing, sleeping, eating, and other routine activities.
The parts of the physical exam that are most helpful in diagnosing heart failure are:
- Measuring blood pressure and pulse rate.
- Checking the veins in the neck for swelling or evidence of high blood pressure in the veins that return blood to the heart. Swelling or bulging veins may indicate right-sided heart failure or advanced left-sided heart failure.
- Listening to breathing (lung sounds).
- Listening to the heart for murmurs or extra heart sounds.
- Checking the abdomen for swelling caused by fluid buildup and for enlargement or tenderness over the liver.
- Checking the legs and ankles for swelling caused by fluid buildup (edema).
- Measuring body weight.
Usually, signs of some heart condition are present, such as high blood pressure or a heart murmur that means heart valve disease .
If you have symptoms typical of heart failure, the physical exam may be all that your doctor needs to make the diagnosis. But you will have additional tests to determine the specific cause and type of heart failure so that you can receive appropriate treatment.
- Lung and heart sounds are normal, blood pressure is normal, and you have no sign of fluid buildup or swollen veins in the neck.
- You may have further exams or tests to check for other causes of symptoms.
Abnormal findings that suggest heart failure
- High blood pressure (130/80 mm Hg or above) or low blood pressure is present. Low blood pressure could be a sign of late-stage heart failure.
- An irregular heart rate (cardiac arrhythmia)
- A third heart sound (indicating abnormal movement of blood through the heart) is heard. Heart murmurs may or may not be present.
- The impulse normally felt from the lower tip of the heart (apex) is not felt in its normal position on the chest wall, suggesting enlargement of the heart.
- Swollen neck veins or abnormal movement of blood in the neck veins suggest that blood may be backing up in the right ventricle.
- Noises (pulmonary rales) such as bubbling or crackling are heard, which may point to fluid buildup in the lungs. Your doctor uses a stethoscope to hear these noises while you take deep breaths.
- You have a swollen liver or have pain in the right upper abdomen, loss of appetite, or bloating. This suggests that blood may be backing up into the body.
- You have swelling in your legs, ankles, or feet or in the lower back when you lie down, and it is clearly not caused by another condition. Fluid buildup first occurs during the day and goes away overnight. As heart failure becomes worse, fluid buildup may not go away.
Some people with early symptoms of heart failure have no physical findings.
What To Think About
A diagnosis of heart failure depends on the whole picture of physical findings, symptoms, and tests.
If physical findings and your medical history strongly suggest heart failure, you most likely will have a chest X-ray, an echocardiogram, and electrocardiography to evaluate the heart size, shape, and function and to evaluate the lungs for signs of fluid buildup.

Decca Sound - The Analogue Years
In the late 1940s, the pioneering Decca recording engineers perfected a new set of microphone techniques that allowed the full range of frequencies to be fully heard by listeners for the first time, and the term 'full frequency range recording' was launched. It was a major revolution in sound quality, and the beginnings of high fidelity.
Perfected with the birth of stereo in the mid-1950s, Decca's 'Full Frequency Stereophonic Sound' became a worldwide hallmark of sonic excellence and a golden age of classical recorded music was born. THE ANALOGUE YEARS presents a 50-Album overview across 54 CDs, in original jackets, of the celebrated international recordings that emerged from the London-based record label in that pre-digital era.

New Storm over the Pacific Screenshots
Matrix Games and Wastelands Interactive are thrilled to release a new pack of screenshots for their upcoming World War II Pacific theater strategy game, Storm over the Pacific. The new screenshots showcase the massive scale and wide diversity of challenging battlefields available to test your strategic mettle!
David Heath, Director of Operations at Matrix Games, said"Storm over the Pacific is the riveting next step in the successful Time of Wrath game engine. Gamers who enjoyed the deep strategic gameplay and flexibility found in WW2: Time of Wrath will no doubt find Storm over the Pacific well worth a look."
The creators of WW2: Time of Wrath move to the Pacific theater with Storm over the Pacific. Depicting the epic conflict between Japan and the United States, players choose from 26 available countries with historically accurate orders of battle including land, sea and air units and leaders. Concentrate on directing one country or command several to lead an alliance of nations. Engage in battle over the vast expanse of the Pacific with 16 unit types modeled with an intuitive supply system and governed by realistic and historically accurate weather patterns.
Behind the front lines, players can also manage alliances, monitor economic conditions, and research new technologies. With shrewd management of research resources, players may even embark on a dramatic race to develop Atomic weapons and turn the tide of the war! Even the best laid plans may still falter, though, as hundreds of historical events may occur throughout a campaign, adding the element of surprise and unpredictability that is so commonly found in war.
Storm over the Pacific also sports a configurable user interface that allows you to freely arrange the information and orders panes on the screen. With this sort of freedom, commanding armies and managing nations is easier than ever! Create your own intuitive interface suited to your play style so you can concentrate on plotting to defeat your enemies!
