Lesley Murphy
Looking for scoop on Lesley Murphy? We've got the latest Lesley photos, gossip, spoilers, and news right here!
BACHELOR 2013 SPOILER ALERT: Dying to know if Lesley will be picked as ABC's next Bachelorette? Click here to find out!
Bachelor 2013 contestant Lesley Murphy was born on March 1, 1988, and was one of Sean Lowe's final five contestants on the reality TV show's 17th season. Lesley grew up in Arkansas with a loving family (she says her childhood was "perfect"), has a B.A. in Broadcast News and a B.S. in Psychology from University of Georgia, and currently works as a lobbyist for a Democratic firm in Washington D.C. Yep, she's a total smartypants!
Lesley captured Sean Lowe's heart on The Bachelor and made it all the way to St. Croix, where she was eventually sent packing right before Bachelor hometown dates. Despite the fact that Sean and Lesley had major chemistry while they were dating (they even set the Guinness World Record for longest on-screen kiss), she wasn't able to open up about her feelings, and Sean was left with no choice but to send her home. After Lesley packed up her bags, Sean was left with Desiree Hartsock, Catherine Giudici, Lindsay Yenter, and AshLee Frazier, and he's currently deciding between Catherine and Linds!
Lesley has been supportive of Sean in the wake of their breakup, and had his back during The Bachelor Season 17 "Women Tell All" special. This gal was definitely a Bachelor fan-favorite, so it's only a matter of time before we see her break out a bikini and sign up for ABC's Bachelor Pad!

Creator's Choice: James Griffin painter and illustrator
Date: May 14, 2009
by: Heidi Kurpiela | A&E Editor
If you're into Harlequin romance novels, it's likely you already own a piece of James Griffin's work.
You wouldn't guess it by looking at his paintings of pelicans and palm trees, which are on display at Dabbert Gallery in downtown Sarasota, but Griffin, 59, honed his vigorous brushwork by painting brawny machismos such as Fabio.
"Actually," says Griffin, with a cheeky grin, "I was one of the first illustrators to use Fabio."
For more than 32 years, he has designed romance-novel covers for some of the top book publishers in the world — HarperCollins, Random House, Viking Penguin — you name it.
"In the beginning, they'd ask me to read the manuscript and come up with a design," Griffin says. "I'd arrange models at a studio, photograph them and come home and paint. Often, the paint was still wet when I mailed covers out for approval."
Griffin was born in Canada and grew up in the United States, Peru, Britain and, later, Brazil. He spent much of his career working out of a New York studio, where he'd paint hectic city scenes — that is until 2006, when he and his wife moved to Sarasota.
Inspired by the area's tropical landscape and unhurried ethos, Griffin began adding birds of paradise and laidback locals to his steamy portfolio.
"I guess I wasn't ready to pursue fine art until I moved here," he says. "It feels like I've finally got the vocabulary to paint what I've always wanted to paint."
Norman Rockwell
"He's been an inspiration for me ever since I read The Saturday Evening Post as a kid. He knew how to capture a person's spirit. He would nail it every time."
J.C. Leyendecker
"He has incredibly jazzy brushwork. It's luscious."
N.C. Wyeth
"His stuff is quality. It's full of action and has great design."
Daniel Garber
"I just love his sense of texture. He would paint a realistic scene, but the leaves would be one pattern and the water would be another pattern."
John Singer Sargent
"He'd paint a woman's gown using 4-inch strokes and just a few dabs of color. Standing back, you'd swear the gown was actual satin."

Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) (Federal Agency Profiles)
PARENT ORGANIZATION: Department of Justice
ESTABLISHED: July 1, 1973
Contact Information:
ADDRESS: 700 Army-Navy Dr. Arlington, VA 22202
URL: http://www.usdoj.gov/dea
ADMINISTRATOR: Thomas A. Constantine
The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) describes itself on its Internet homepage as, "the lead agency responsible for the development of overall drug enforcement strategy, programs, planning, and evaluation." Specifically the DEA is responsible for enforcing laws related to illegal drugs; identifying and bringing to trial individuals and groups involved in drug trafficking; and developing proactive strategies to reduce the level of illegal drugs available in the United States and world-wide. In recent years the DEA has sought opportunities to form partnerships with community agencies working with youth in order to discourage illegal drug use.
The DEA is an agency within the Department of Justice (a cabinet-level department), and is part of the executive branch of government. Led by an...

Drug Enforcement Administration (West's Encyclopedia of American Law)
The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) was established in 1973 by President RICHARD M. NIXON as part of the JUSTICE DEPARTMENT, thus uniting a number of federal drug agencies that had often worked at cross-purposes. Its mission is to "enforce the controlled substances laws and regulations of the United States and bring to the criminal and civil justice system those organizations and principal members of organizations who are involved in the growing, manufacture, or distribution of controlled substances in the United States." In addition to its domestic oversight the DEA has sole responsibility for coordinating and pursuing U.S. drug investigations abroad. The DEA also works closely with federal, state, local, and INTERNATIONAL LAW enforcement agencies to address drugs and drug-related crime.
The DEA concentrates on investigating and prosecuting organizations and their members who are involved in the cultivation, production, SMUGGLING, distribution, or diversion of controlled substances in or destined for the United States. The agency seeks to disrupt these organizations by arresting their members, confiscating their drugs, and seizing their assets. It creates, manages, and supports enforcement-related programs, both...

DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) (World of Forensic Science)
The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is the lead agency of the United States government for the enforcement of federal statutes on narcotics and controlled substances. Created in 1973, it is a division
Although it exists to enforce the drug laws of the United States, the DEA operates on a worldwide basis. It presents materials to the U.S. civil and criminal justice system, or to any other competent jurisdiction, regarding those individuals and organizations involved in the cultivation, production, smuggling, distribution, or diversion of controlled substances appearing in or destined for illegal traffic in the United States.
The DEA's job is to immobilize those organizations by arresting their members, confiscating their drugs, and seizing their assets. Among its responsibilities are investigation of major narcotics violators operating at the interstate or international levels; seizure of drug-related assets; management of a national narcotics intelligence system; coordination with federal, state, and local law enforcement authorities, as well with counterpart agencies abroad; and training, scientific research, and information exchange in support of prevention and control of drug traffic. Part of these duties involves forensic accounting and forensic investigations of crime scenes.
Exemplifying this role, from its beginning, the DEA was concerned with the collection, analysis, and dissemination of drug-related intelligence through its Operations Division, which supplied federal, state, local, and foreign officials with information. Originally, the agency had just a few intelligence analysts, but as the need grew, so did the staff, such that by the end of the twentieth century, the DEA's intelligence personneloth analysts and special agentsumbered nearly 700.
Along the way, demand for drug-related intelligence became so great that the DEA leadership, recognizing how overtaxed the operations division was, in August 1992, created the Intelligence Division. The latter consists of four entities: the Office of Intelligence Liaison and Policy, the Office of Investigative Intelligence, the Office of Intelligence Research, and the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC). The last of these, located in El Paso, Texas, served as a clearinghouse for tactical intelligence (intelligence on which immediate enforcement action can be based) related to worldwide drug movement and smuggling. Eleven federal agencies participate at EPIC in the coordination of intelligence programs related to interdiction.
The DEA also creates, manages, and supports domestic and international enforcement programs aimed at reducing the availability and demand for controlled substances. Among its dozens of programs is Demand Reduction, a program operated by 22 special agents at 21 domestic field divisions to educate youth and communities as a whole, to train lawenforcement personnel, and to encourage drug-free workplaces.
Demand Reduction falls under the heading of the first of three goals the DEA established late in the twentieth century, and toward which it continued to work in the early twenty-first. That first goal is to educate and enable America's youth to reject illegal drugs as well as alcohol and tobacco products. Among the programs in the service of the second goalo increase the safety of America's citizens by substantially reducing drug-related crimere the Mobile Enforcement Teams, which work to dismantle drug organizations. The third goal, to break foreign and domestic drug sources of supply, places the DEA in collaboration with foreign governments and agencies through programs such as the Northern Border Response Force. The DEA also works with other federal agencies, including the Department of Justice National Drug Intelligence Center. DEA intelligence itself serves this third goal.

Just kidding. I love roleplaying games (the forum kind, although the video game kind are pretty good too) and would like nothing more than to join a fresh campaign.

August 26, 1988 |
Now, looking back, Dusty realizes what a long, strange trip it's been.
Having been the owner and publisher of a newspaper in a place like Boca Grande, after all, has to be a unique experience. View More images >>
His rationale on the last 25 years?
"I still can't get ahead of the Bocanut Telegraph," he laughed, referring to the fact that once something happens in Boca Grande ... everybody knows, right away.
Creighton Sherman, the first director of the Gasparilla Island Conservation and Improvement Association, was actually the catalyst in making the deal happen.
"At that time I was married to Terri (Gannett) and she published the Fort Myers News Press," Dusty said. "Through that connection we met Creighton, who was down in Fort Myers representing the island at a meeting of local community leaders. He told us about Marnie and her little newspaper in Boca Grande. He set up a meeting between us and Marnie, we came up here and we worked out a deal."
Back then it was an every-other-week publication, but Dusty's primary goal was to make it a weekly newspaper ... and that's what he did.
So just how has news reporting in Boca Grande changed? Dusty said some things remain the same, such as the news itself.
"People have always said they could tell the tone and feeling of the island by reading our police reports," he said. "Back then it was mostly about kids stealing oranges.
"Now, of course, it's about adults stealing mangos."
Our art director, Daniel Godwin, came with the original package purchase, as he worked with Marnie since the very beginning. Kathi Strapp, who is still with the Beacon today, was his first hire.
Now, 25 years later, Dusty also owns the Gasparilla Gazette and Gasparilla Magazine, which just hit the stands last week.
If you would like to be part of the long-standing island tradition that is the Boca Beacon, contact us at 964-2995 and we will commemorate your call by asking for a credit card number or check and getting you a subscription to any of our fine publications.

How many women come on this forum? None. I sit beside them a' the game,meet them in pub,they seem as knowledgeable as any male.If yer concerned abar falling numbers on 'ere dont be. They'll be back an' hopefully a few new ones.Charging t' come 'ere is the silliest idea I've 'eard yet.
You miss the point
If the club say its over 18 then more colourful language can be tolerated.
I would hazard a guess that most 18 rated films are watched by minors at some time.
The warning is purely a warning and a measure of security.
As for Charging I believe Liverpool do it on their main forum and it works a treat.
But thanks for your support
As for women you have heard of Blue eyed girl and Aussie Sheila I believe unless you are suggestin their blokes.

If anyone has a chance to see the PBS series "Carrier", by all means tune in. Just watched hour 3 & 4 tonight and watched 1 & 2 last night. This may be the best, most honest depiction of life in the military today that's been shown in many years.. So honest in fact that all I can think is "how did the military even allow this to be shown?". It focuses on life on the USS Nimitz as it is now - not your usual run-of-the-mill depiction you usually see on Military Channel/History Channel, etc. This is about the people - the kids mostly. It shows the good, and sometimes the very bad. The doubts, the immaturity, the remarkable maturity and the confusion that all these kids go through. It's rare that a show can evoke a single emotion from me. But this one, so far, has evoked pride, shame, empathy, bitterness and a myriad of others. Man, what a show. BTW, Mel Gibson is listed as one of the Executive Producers. And believe it or not - it has a great soundtrack! Seriously, this is a don't miss. |

Agree with the above. Just when I was worrying about going through Adams withdrawal, Carrier began Sunday. Very good series. You made a interesting point regarding maturity. It appears to me that since the majority of the crew are in their late teens, one of the primary functions of the officers is to help these "kids" stay out of trouble and grow up. Doc C |

I enjoyed "Carrier" too. I was a little miffed when one of the super macho jet jockeys said that Air Force fighter pilots are the ones that wear a silk scarf with their flight suits. I guess not having a scarf makes a fighter pilot better???? Smart a*&^%. Just gotta have some competition between service branches. It's a tough life, though. I wouldn't trade places with any one of them. Worse, being a woman on those ships would carry some very difficult challenges. I'm glad Hubby and I toured an aircraft carrier (World War Two vintage) at Charleston so as to have some feel for the proportions, how crowded things are and the flight deck. We didn't get a chance, of course, to experience the noise of jets taking off. I bet that is deafening. Last edited on Wed Apr 30th, 2008 04:47 pm by CleburneFan |

CleburneFan- There has always been a rivalry between the different services. I remember that we used to compose and sing little ditties making fun of those in the other services. But I can assure you that in times of trouble, none of this matters. Those naval aviators seen on the PBS series would do anything in their power, and take any risk, to save the soldiers and marines on the ground. In the 1960s, I competed against the cadets at the Air Force Academy. Based on that and other experiences, I can conclude that Air Force pilots are just as full of themselves as their Navy counterparts. This is not necessarily a bad thing. Flying fighters, especially, is not for the faint of heart. |

Saw the last part last night. It was so sad, I finally shut it off when that nice young man's pregnant girlfriend wanted ot leave him for someone else. Those Navy people have complicated personal lives. We really don't appreciate enough the sacrifices the militray and their families make. Now we seem to be asking more than ever of our men and women in the Armed Forces and their families. It has never been easy by any stretch, but now it just seems so much worse.

Javal. Thank you for that heads up. I'm not really a fan of watching shows on the computer but I might check it out anyway. I did see at the end of last night's episode that folks can purchase the entire series on DVD for $40.00 plus s&h. It would make a wonderful gift to my sister and her husband. He is a career Navy man who has spent many a day on aircraft carriers. In fact, he tells us that he gets to missing the ocean and wants to go again but it is so complicated to go off and leave the family behind. You can't have it both ways--- family and aircraft carrier duty. The PBS show did film that wonderful gesture of the Navy to allow certain sailors and officers to take their kids on the ship. Oh, I would have killed for that opportunity myself! I could PRETEND to be a Navy man's kid. In fact I WAS, back in the forties, but my dad trained on a battleship. |

Chic Chat Interview - TheOutNet
Duets with Dad Premiers on CMT This Week
The singer has always tried to pave her own path, but at age 44, it looks like she wants to embrace her legacy. She is releasing a video in which she sings one of her famous father's songs along with him.
It's hard to believe, but Lisa Marie Presley is now two years older than her father Elvis was when he died, and she now fully understands the weight of her last name.
"When Lisa Marie Presley said she was done fighting her legacy as the only child of rock 'n' roll king Elvis, she apparently meant it," said Reuters.
Country Weekly
Lisa Marie Presley Releases Duet With Her Dad
Elvis' daughter went back to a 1956 album to remake a single that's being released this week.
Been a while since you've heard Elvis Presley on the radio?
As a special gift to Elvis' legion of passionate fans, his daughter, Lisa Marie, rerecorded the song "I Love You Because," from the King's very first album, to be played during the 35th anniversary of her father's death this past August. But the song and its accompanying video—a duet between father and daughter—were such a hit during the Elvis Week celebration that Lisa Marie is releasing the single to iTunes today (Oct. 16). The video will premiere on CMT on Thursday (Oct. 18).
I Love You Because (DUET VERSION) Is Released!
Elvis Presley duets with daughter Lisa Marie
The Presley pair star in new music video
When Lisa Marie Presley said she was done fighting her legacy as the only child of rock 'n' roll king Elvis Presley, she apparently meant it. Lisa Marie Presley's new video, I Love You Because, is an emotional duet with her late father.
Due to premiere on Thursday on country music TV channel CMT in the U.S. and CMT.com, the video was recorded in August for the 35th anniversary of Elvis Presley's death.
Female First - Interview
Lisa Marie Presley has been away from the music scene for seven years but this week marks her return with a new album Storm & Grace.
I caught up with the singer/song-writer to chat about the new album, the new sound and what lies ahead.
- You are about to release your new album Storm & Grace so what can fans expect from this new record?
I think it is just more of a broken down, stripped down, organic record than I have done before. It is less produced and it is more of a rootsy and Americana album; it was written in England ha-ha.

I'm looking for a good translation of the word dirty, in the sense of
Morally unclean; obscene or indecent, especially sexually. (Wiktionary)
__ Gedanken

Which word could I use?
I'm looking for a good translation of the word dirty, in the sense of E.g: Which word could I use? |
The proper translation would be schmutzig: The word dreckig is less often used in this sense, but will be understood as well. | |||||
"Obszön" would be a good choice when speaking or writing in a more formal context. | |||
Another related alternative would be "versaut", literally "spoiled", and with much the same connotation. The difference between the German "versaut" and English "spoiled" – and the reason why it can also be used in the sense of "dirty" – is this: A "spoiled joke" is a joke badly told. But a "versauter Witz" (usually) means a dirty joke. (Likewise, you can't say "das ist eine versaute Frucht" to warn somebody off eating a spoiled apple.) | |||||||||||||

Unflätig may also make sense as a translation: For some uses (e.g. joke), it's used less often today though. | |||||||||

At the Environment Agency, we are committed to promoting diversity and equality in all our policies, practices and procedures and to valuing the diversity or our workforce and the customers and communities we deal with.
We believe that diversity is as important to the workplace as it is in the natural environment. Diversity in this context means differences visible and non-visible, differences of background, socio-economic group, personality, and work-style, as much as the more overt differences of the protected characteristics: age, disability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, marriage and civil partnerships, pregnancy and maternity, religion/belief and sexual orientation.
To fulfil our vision of a better environment for present and future generations, we will develop an organisation where all employees are actively supported in giving their best contribution to the Environment Agency aims and objectives. This means attracting developing and retaining people from all parts of the community, valuing the differing skills and abilities of all our employees, and responding flexibly to the needs of individuals in achieving organisational goals.
In addition, we will ensure that the service we provide to our customers, communities and partners is free from discrimination. We will endeavour to ensure our services are accessible to all and that the diverse needs of our customers are understood and met wherever reasonably possible. We will work to reach out to vulnerable groups to ensure that there is a mutual understanding of our respective needs and requirements.
To help us with equality objectives we will consult with:
Our six equality objectives are below. We continue to welcome your views on our equality information and objectives. Your suggestions will help us further as we continue our diversity and equality journey.
We consider the needs of all individuals in their day to day work, in developing policies, in delivering services and in relation to our own employees.

The mobo (MB m805LR) has only the ATX power supply slot, yet the power supply has both the ATX connector and an additional AUX power connector. After assembling the new computer, it won't power on.

I think the term "diskless" is sometimes the problem when discussing centrally installed and managed systems. Lots of "diskless" cluster have GB and GB of local disks, only they are used for swap and temp I/O, not for the OS. In 2000 I switched from locally installed system images (using the very good - even back then - system-imager) to using either nfsroot or warewulf style diskless systems, but have retained the local disk for scratch I/O. While I can understand debating over the merits of nfsroot vs RAM-disk root, I fail to see many useful arguments for maintaining a local OS install. However, that doesn't mean that local disks are bad. It all depends upon the application, of course, but in many cases its hard to beat the local disk for temporary I/O, especially if you don't have gobs and gobs of RAM to spare. Also PVFS is sufficiently mature that you can easily combine all of the (very cheap) local disks into a large parallel filesystem. Using nfsroot you can switch from one "system image" (really just an nfsroot file tree) to another one with a simple reboot. You have all of the advantadges of central configuration and control combined with the convenience and speed of local I/O and local swap. It can be _very_ useful in a situation where you have to support multiple user communities with wierd apps or strange requirements. Using pxeboot and pxelinux, I've set up systems where the queue system could even request that a node use a specific system configuration before starting the job (eg: must have linux 2.4 with checkpointing in the kernel). Nodes might be available, but running another nfsroot cluster system image (say they are running RHEL, with no checkpointing, or for compatibility with some other commercial app they are running RH 7.2). The queue system tells the cluster master to reconfigure pxelinux so that the requested nodes default to the required config, by pointing them at another nfsroot tree. The cluster master tells the nodes to reboot, and when they are rebooted and running the appropriate image, the job runs. That sort of config requires a lot of glue, but it would be way too much headache to even attempt without "diskless" systems. regards, -Ryan -- Ryan Sweet <ryan.sweet at aoes.com> Advanced Operations and Engineering Services AOES Group BV http://www.aoes.com Phone +31(0)71 5795521 Fax +31(0)71572 1277

Fish oil supplements: Can they treat depression?
Is there any benefit to taking fish oil supplements for depression?
from Daniel K. Hall-Flavin, M.D.
Fish oil supplements may help ease symptoms of depression in some people. A few studies in adults suggest that omega-3 fatty acids may be beneficial in the treatment of mild to moderate depression. However, studies using fish oil as the primary treatment for severe depression haven't been done.
Fish oil is a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, which play an important role in brain function. People with depression may have low blood levels of brain chemicals called eicosapentaenoic (i-koe-suh-pen-tuh-e-NO-ik) acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic (doe-koe-suh-hek-suh-e-NO-ik) acid (DHA). EPA and DHA can be found in fish oil.
Supplements aren't the only way to get more omega-3s. Eating fish a few times a week may be the best way to provide your body with enough of these healthy oils. Examples of fish high in omega-3s include sardines, salmon, herring, trout and canned white tuna. Shellfish, including mussels and oysters, also contain omega-3s.
However, if you're pregnant or nursing, due to mercury levels, limit your weekly intake to 12 ounces (340 grams) of a variety of fish. Eat no more than 6 ounces (170 grams) of white (albacore) tuna a week because it's higher in mercury than light canned tuna. Avoid swordfish, tilefish, king mackerel and shark because of their high levels of mercury. And avoid any kind of raw seafood.
Fish oil isn't considered a replacement for treatment of depression, but it may be helpful as an addition to prescribed medications or other treatment. Although more studies are needed to determine exactly what role omega-3s play in depression, it's possible that eating fish high in omega-3s may help lower the risk of depression — and foods high in omega-3s help protect heart health.

Just as the White House is criticizing one Republican lawmaker for apologizing to BP, it's been revealed that a local GOP leader has extensive stock holdings in BP and other oil companies.
The Associated Press is reporting that U.S. Rep. John Boehner (R-West Chester), the House minority leader, bought dozens of stocks in December including shares in BP, Exxon, Chevron, ConocoPhilips and Occidental. Each of the stocks is valued between $15,001 and $50,000, according to annual financial disclosure reports released Wednesday.
In a stark turnabout from the company's previous position involving the incident, Cintas Corp. has settled a lawsuit filed by the wife of an employee who was burned to death in an industrial dryer at an Oklahoma facility.
When Eleazar Torres-Gomez was killed at the Cintas laundry near Tulsa, Okla., in March 2007, the company took no responsibility and blamed him for his death. Further, Cintas initially tried to block Torres-Gomez's family from claiming workers compensation benefits.
In 1908, the automobile was considered nothing more than a rich man's plaything. The technology existed but could not yet be applied on a large scale or made affordable. Soon, Henry Ford supplied those missing parts and, with some outside help, transformed the 20th Century.
In 2010, U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown and the rest of Ohio's congressional delegation have a rare chance to vault us into a position of global economic leadership by passing a comprehensive clean energy and climate bill.
With the federal income tax deadline looming next week, people can expect Tea Partiers and others to moan and shout about giving some of their money for the common good. If those tax protestors really wanted to make an impact, though, they'd focus on making sure large corporations pay their fair share.
The Internet's strange allure can't be resisted.
First, local blogger and veteran journalist Bill Sloat decided to revive his excellent Daily Bellwether blog after an absence of several months, once again offering his fresh take on news around Ohio's major cities.
Now Jim Hopkins has brought back his insightful Gannett Blog, offering news, analysis and criticism about the newspaper and media giant that owns The Cincinnati Enquirer and USA Today.
CityBeat doesn't like to revel in anyone's misery or misfortune. Sometimes, though, there's a confluence between a person's political philosophy and subsequent events that begs for attention and analysis. One such instance is the foreclosure and impending sale of the house owned by an anti-tax leader.
A private, off-campus apartment complex geared toward students and located just blocks away from the University of Cincinnati is facing possible foreclosure.
The Bank of America has filed legal action in the Hamilton County Court of Common Pleas against the owner of McMillan Manor, a five-story, 122-unit apartment building that opened in 2006.
2010 already is beginning to look a lot like 2009 at The Cincinnati Enquirer.
In a memo issued Dec. 1, an executive with The Gannett Co., The Enquirer's Virginia-based owner, wrote that newspaper employees must take another five-day, unpaid furlough within the first quarter of the year. Bob Dickey, Gannett's U.S. community publishing president, blamed the continuing weak economy.

MikeDolbear.com was set up in November 2000 with the philosophy to use the power of the internet to bring the drumming community together, to share knowledge and experience for the mutual benefit of all.
We offer the opportunity for industry manufacturers and distributors to update the drumming community on their latest products and developments, while also giving our visitors the opportunity to objectively review these products. Our overriding philosophy is the promotion of the UK drum industry from grass root to professional and retailer to manufacturer.
We aim to continually promote our instrument, and to positively encourage all players, irrespective of age, ethnicity, religion gender or ability, to value their unique contribution to the drumming community. Our commercial aims are to meet the costs of maintaining and running the site. To this end we offer advertisement space to companies. We run the now very popular UK Young Drummer of the Year competition, clinic tours, The Ultimate Drum Experience and the masterclass suite at The London Drum Show.
Mikedolbear.com is now read in over 100 countries around the world and is translated into eight languages all by the push of a button!
Mikedolbear.com is run by a core team including...........
Mike Dolbear
Mike has been a professional drummer for over 30 years having studied with some of the greatest teachers including Kenny Clare, Max Abrams and Bob Armstrong. He has worked in a variety of musical situations, including studio, TV, musical theatre, backing cabaret covers bands.
After ending a 10 year residence at The Talk Of London Mike set up his teaching studio in North London teaching and helping many professional students and teachers including Brian Bennett (The Shadows) Cherisse Osei (Mika), Kapil Trivedi (Mystery Jets), Steve Forrest (Placebo), Mark Richardson (Skunk), Emily Dolan Davies (Bryan Ferry/ Tricky) just to name but a few.
Mike consults for a couple of major record labels and management companies, various TV station coordinating drum feature for the BBC, CBBC and ITV
In 2000 Mike wrote the tutor book "Rhythm and Fills" which is now one of the biggest selling drum tutor books in Europe. But he has yet found the time to write book 2 which is still in manuscript.
In October 2011 Mike was asked to coordinate, audition and teach the 1000 drummers for the London Olympics 2012 opening ceremony, an experience that he says was one of the highlights of his career. " To coordinate that number of drummers and then play on what is reported to be the biggest TV audience of all time was a true honour and one that I will never forget".
Simon Edgoose
After originally moving down to London to study music, Simon Edgoose has found himself working in many different areas of the music industry from being a member of various signed bands to occasionally teching for some of the biggest drummers around.
A self confessed geek, he has used electronics since he was young and he now finds his more visible work to be in this field. Whether it's recording, programming for major artists, demonstrating all over Europe for the biggest names in the business, or advising companies both large and small, Simon does it and also finds time to play gigs around London, dep on shows and answer emergency calls from artists in electronic hell.
He can often be found at the airport, laptop under arm and is proud of the fact that a few of his ideas are being used by drummers all over the world.
Simon was one of the earliest contributors to mikedolbear.com and has been editor of the site since 2007.
He lives in Essex with his wife and family.
Bob Henrit
Bob Henrit, like many others of his generation, began musical life in a skiffle group. His ex-next door neighbour, Cliff Richard, helped get him a gig with Adam Faith's Roulettes. Five years later he played on 'Concrete and Clay'.
Henrit recorded with punk bands as well as Leo Sayer, Russ Ballard, Ringo Starr and Roger Daltrey. While touring and recording with Ian Mathews, Mike Rutherford, Richie Havens and Don McLean he opened Drumstore in London.
Having played on albums for Dave Davies he came to Ray Davies' notice who invited him into the Kinks. Later they entered the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame and he received an 'Ivor Novello Award'.
While writing Ivor Arbiter's biography he was coerced into his 'Advanced Tuning' project which gave rise to 'Flats'. Traps arrived later.
Henrit's writing career began with Beat Instrumental, Melody Maker and International Musician then Rhythm, Modern Drummer, Rimshot and Drum!
Having written two electronic drum books he's just finished 'Banging On' his autobiography and working on the Arbiter drumbook.
These days he responds to the telephone for gigs with various pals from Argent and the Kinks.
Jerome Marcus
He's one of the UK music industry's best known figures, with drumming mates Chad Smith, Dave Weckl, Jojo Mayer and Bernard Purdie a touch away on his speed-dial. But Jerome Marcus is also a seriously pro percussionist and drummer, a savvy interviewer, a colourful writer and very adept photographer.
Originally from Plymouth, in 1980 Jerome landed in London and in 1990 he quickly made a name for himself as the artist relations manager/product specialist for the percussion brands carried by distributor Arbiter plc. Remo, Vic Firth, Gibraltar, Sabian, LP, Toca and Arbiter Flats were his remit until 2006, when he became SABIAN Artist Relation Manager (UK/Europe), as well as UK trade and media liaison contact for the cymbal company.
Jerome has been called the most passionate person in the business and closely associated with many key industry business figures, It's obvious why; he's everywhere, from Glastonbury to Wembley, whether gigs, concerts, trade shows, educational events, related charities or social hangs, Jerome is there. And if he isn't, then he's interviewing Kenney Jones, Geoff Dugmore or Ziggy Modeliste. Or maybe he's recording in his studio or gigging with one of his bands. But if you can't see Jerome, chances are Mr. Marcus is busy writing for mikedolbear.com.
Dave Bateman
Dave has had a life long fascination with the drums which has exploded over the years to where it is now. He's an active player with nearly twenty years gigging experience and a self confessed gear head. The first thing that people find out about him is that he's a drummer before anything else and few conversations go by without mentioning drums.
He has been a rather obsessive collector of snare drums and cymbals for the last twelve years with 'the collection' extending to nearly a hundred high end snares, including nearly two dozen Craviottos, vintage and other popular boutique models and over a hundred and fifteen cymbals. And then theres all the kits and electronics... acoustic kits galore and one somewhat extended electronic setup that lives in the drum room at the end of his garden.
There is indeed enough for a small shop.
He's currently playing in a number of cover bands around London and the Home Counties as his delusions of fame, money and grandieur are long gone.
Ashley Hallinan
Ash is 25, based in North West London and has been playing drums since he was thirteen.
He plays a variety of styles in various environments, ranging from punk and metal bands in sweaty Camden hell holes, to session work for solo artists and rock/pop bands. He also finds himself doing residencies at Holiday Camps and The Three Monkeys Club in Israel, and has done so many weddings and parties over the years with various function bands that his head hurts just trying to count them.
Since 2008 he has been having lessons with Mike Dolbear, through which he's had the opportunity to tour with Benny Greb and Gavin Harrison selling merchandise and learning a lot along the way. He writes reviews for the website and help out at events (Young Drummer of the Year, London Drum Show, etc.) so he's usually around if you want to say 'Hi!'
Gemma Hill
Gemma has enjoyed making a living out of drums and percussion as a teacher and player since graduating from the ACM's degree course in 2005. She's been fortunate enough to play in Europe, Japan and the UK with a wide range of musicians and artists, including Cee Lo Green, Cyndi Lauper and indie electro duo, Robots In Disguise.
Gemma began regularly contributing to mikedolbear.com in 2009 with a series of interviews on female drummers from both sides of the Atlantic, which included Samantha Maloney, Crissy Lee and Emmanuelle Caplette. Non-feature interviews followed with the likes of Steve Forrest, Mark Richardson, Ash Soan and Craig Blundell, as well as a new feature on West End Drummers in 2011.
In her spare time Gemma is most likely to be found stroking cats, reading books, working on 'The New Breed' or tweeting.
For more information see www.gemmadrums.com
Jeremy Peake
Jeremy Peake, a.k.a. "FenTiger" on the Mikedolbear.com forum, started playing the drums when in his early teens. His gigging career developed whilst playing psychedelic rock music in questionable establishments in and around Northampton, before leaving for Manchester to study design.
After a drumming lull of about 15 years he decided it was time to retrieve his faithful, but battered, old Pearl kit from a friend's attic and dust it down. He joined a blues and rockabilly band, started gigging pubs and small festivals and he's never looked back. Currently he drums an originals band that performs around Cambridgeshire.
Jeremy lives with his wife and family in deepest Cambridgeshire and works in art and education. He spends much of his free time restoring neglected vintage kits to their former glory and he takes a keen interest in contemporary UK drum makers.
Chris Dennis
Chris has been a drummer over 20 years but started out as a piano and voila player. His classical musical background finds him playing many big band, jazz and theatre shows, although tribute bands, pop, rock and disco and various dep jobs are also a big feature of his calendar commitments.
Having working in musical instrument and PA system sales for many years Chris is a stickler for detail with all things drums and percussion, especially regarding cymbals and drum/hardware design and build quality.
By day he provides sales and tech support for PA installation and can sometimes be found behind the mixer when not on stage. He also teaches drums and music theory, performs stage manager and tech duties for various outfits and squeezes in drum repairs, hiking, a young family and, of course, reviewing for MikeDolbear.com.
Dave Hughes
Dave has been playing for 20 odd years and has worked with many bands over that time. He has a massive and unique Starclassic Maple kit with a Bell Brass snare which he is particularly proud of, which he plays when he can fit it in around the rest of his life.
By day he's a programme manager for night vision and radar with a defence company - his background is in electronics and physics - and by night he's asleep like everyone else.
Dave is the president of the Hampshire Skeptics Society. Physics is a big passion and he's got a wide interest in anything science-y. In fact he's a general all 'round Übergeek.
Dave does lots of stills photography for mags and websites and is responsible for filming, editing and uploading all the NAMM footage for mikedolbear.com.
