I'd put Burns right up there with Phaneuf as one of the "great young defensemen" in the league. He's big, skates as fast as anyone (except maybe #10), and can shoot the lights out. I know statistics don't tell the whole story, but here are their seasons to date (G-A-PTS-PIM):
Phaneuf 15-38-53-165
Burnsie 14-27-41-52
Granted Phaneuf has more points, but remember who plays for Coach Lemaire and his trap. Burns is close in points, plays in all situations and has been in the penalty box 113 less minutes then Dion.
Defensively I'd give the nod to Burns. He's a better defender and plays smart Lemaire hockey. Sure, he may give up the puck from time to time, but he's got the speed to come back and break up the play. Phaneuf hits a bit harder, though, and that's something I wish I'd see more of from Burns.

Persanity wrote:Electric transmissions are more efficient then automatic or standard transmissions. There is no debating that.
If you disagree then you need to do research on the field I have been studying as a hobby for over 10 years.
http://serieshybrid.com/FreedomFormula/ ... arison.pdf
No, you've completely misunderstood the reason why that fairly silly pdf says series hybrids are more efficient.
If you've all ready got mechanical power somewhere, a twisting shaft from an engine for example, you're not going to put it to the ground any more efficiently than directly coupling it with a drive-shaft or chain or gear or sprocket etc. Every energy conversion suffers efficiency losses, let's say that you're going for super efficiency at high power with PMBLDC gen/motor to go from the engine to a generator (~93%) to controller (~98%) to traction motor (~93%) and cabling loss (99.5%), you're looking at an optimistic 84% combined system efficiency, and this assumes the traction motor has no further drivetrain losses to the wheel (like a hubmotor).
In the event you're looking to get decent performance, AKA, not running the generator at it's maximum output to maintain your maximum economy cruise speed, you're going to be suffering substantial core losses just to turn that generator and traction motor. This is why AC induction motors or series-wound DC motors start to make sense for high performance EV's, because a PM motor that can output 200hp may have 10hp purely of core loss to make it spin at your cruising speed where you might only require 20hp at the wheels to be moving down the road, but you're stuck sending the motor 30hp because you've gotta eat that 10hp of core-loss overhead. So, you need to generate 50% more power than you require to cruise. Now on the generator side, you have the same penalty, making the engine need to generate 40hp of mechanical power to deliver your cruising power needs of 20hp. This makes your system efficiency during cruising sub 50%...
So, you go to induction generator/motor or a series DC so your core loss is small while cruising, but you're still able to have decent performance when you want it. Now your under high power efficiency is about the same as under high loads as light loads, about 85% for some well designed stuff. So, 85% gen 98% controller 85% traction motor 99.5% cabling, and your combined system efficiency is ~70%.
I know from dyno'ing plenty of racecar engine builds in and out of the car, that a Honda FWD engine/transmission/axles/wheels/tire to dyno roller interface, that 88% system loss from engine to the rubber of the tire on the roller.
Persanity wrote:If you think those people won't pay an extra 2-5- or even 10 grand for a transmission and power management system that more the doubles then fuel efficiency of their 20k engine, well your wrong.
If you think somebody driving a late model car won't spend 2-3 grand to double the gas mileage of a car they cant afford to replace your wrong there too.
I pay 20k for race engines for my racecars (though I try to keep them under 10k these days). I would happily pay 10k for something that would give my vehicle an advantage. However, this would only give my vehicle an advantage in drive train wear and service intervals (which I don't really care about). This is why you see locomotives using series diesel systems, no clutch to slip or torque converter to heat fluids and/or tranny bands to slip while taking off from a stop, starting from a stop on a mountain pass, etc, situations where mechanical drivetrains would rapidly wear out.

I'm getting the following error when I run SeaTools for Windows:
Not found
Void ThrowWithExtendedInfo(System.Management.Management
The caption reads: Fatal Error: Device Discovery
I'm using win2k sp4.
I am also getting this problem with the exact same error messages.
I had problems running an earlier version too - v184.108.40.206. Can't remember the error message then.
Interestingly it v126.96.36.199 would run okay in a virtual machine with physical drives connected. Haven't tried this with the latest ver.
OS: Windows 2K SP4
CPU: AMD Sempron 2600

IDE0:0: Western Digital WD1600AVBB
IDE0:1: Western Digital WD1600BB
IDE1:0: LG GSA-4163B DVD Writer
v184.108.40.206 is not an answer as v22.214.171.124 adds support for USB sector repair.

Thanks gadgetman37 -that's what I found too.
I ended up using SeaTools for DOS. It failed both short and long tests. I still want to use the drive though -to split it in half for a Linux partition. I'd like to get a recommendation for a non-destructive partition manager -but I'll start a separate post for that.
Thank you for your help,
The latest version of SeaTools for Windows is v184.108.40.206.
The latest version of SeaTools for DOS is v2.13b.
They were both released in December 2008.
I hope this clears up any confusion about the versions.

I've been getting that same error message on my next door neighbor's eMachine E566IR computer on Win2000 SP4 + .NET Framework 2.0 SP2 with a Seagate ST36811a 6.4Gb hard drive when attempting to run Seatools for Windows. After I upgraded the OS to WinXP SP3 and ran Seatools for Windows again, it runs as expected. The version I was using was 184.108.40.206.
Update: I tested several versions of Seatools for Windows (18.104.22.168, 184.108.40.206, 126.96.36.199 & 126.96.36.199). Only versions 184.108.40.206 and 126.96.36.199 worked under my neighbor's Win2k computer. Version 22.214.171.124 of Seatools for Windows that I found from a Packard Bell support site refused to install under Win2000 and requires WinXP [5.01.2600] or higher to use. Version 22.214.171.124 (dated 10/2/2008) of Seatools [at least I carefully checked the seatoolsforwindows.exe file for Version info; something gadgetman37 did not do] for Windows failed to work correctly under Win2000/XP/Vista as that one turned out to be the WORST version made by Seagate. Seems like versions 22.214.171.124 and greater have broken compatibility with Win2k.and runs properly under XP, Vista and higher.
For those who need Seatools for Windows version 184.108.40.206, it's still available as a Windows Installer package from this Seagate page. Digital signature date of the MSI package is March 9, 2007.
In short, steer clear of version 188.8.131.52 as that version always fails to work. Use versions 184.108.40.206 or 22.214.171.124 of Seatools for Windows if using Win2000. For those using WinXP or Vista, use the latest version which is currently 126.96.36.199.

A UNIQUE HISTORYIn 1994, the Chicago White Sox launched a program to bring top-flight baseball instruction to the kids of Chicagoland. These programs were committed to helping young athletes achieve maximum success throughout all of the fundamental aspects of the game of baseball.These baseball camps became so successful that in 2001 we opened the only year-round youth player development facility in the country owned and operated by a professional team (two teams in our case). Our main location is based in the Western Suburb of Lisle and provides year-round camps, clinics, private lessons and training to thousands of children every year. We offer beginner through advanced basketball, baseball, and fastpitch softball programs for boys and girls ages 5-18. Year-round programs are available at our satellite locations in Lisle, LaGrange, Glen Ellyn, and Schereville, IN. as well as the Orland Park Sports Complex. The Bulls/Sox Academy utilizes the teaching philosophies from the two professional teams to develop training methods specifically designed for the boys and girls who participate in our programming. Our professional coaching staff of former collegiate, professional players and coaches has learned directly from the Chicago Bulls and White Sox coaching staff. The Academy has earned a reputation as the Mecca for the beginning, intermediate and high level training in baseball, fastpitch and basketball with the latest equipment and training techniques. If you want to be the best you have to train with the best! |
OUR MISSIONThe mission of the Bulls/Sox Academy is to create a fun, safe, and invigorating environment, teaching the games of basketball, baseball, and fastpitch softball, maximizing the skills of building of self esteem of each boy and girl with whom we have contact. We are dedicated to nurturing the athlete in every child who comes through our doors.DREAM IT. TRAIN IT. BE IT. |

--- End quote ---
There is no set time for theme approval. It all depends on when the staff has the time to look things over and make a decision.
Themes typically are reviewed faster than modifications. For themes, you should most likely receive a PM within a week of submitting, although it's all based on what our schedules are like and the queue size, as we're all volunteers.
Awsome, been looking for something like this!

'Red Riding Hood'
The story of "Little Red Riding Hood" has been told many times. It's a fairytale, and it has been made into a movie before. But not like this.
"Red Riding Hood" takes a more gothic look at the classic. Valerie, played by Amanda Seyfried, falls in love with Peter, even though she is expected to marry another man in the village. While sorting through the love triangle, the village is ravaged by a werewolf, who steals and eats people in the night. The village fights against the werewolf before learning that during the day, he turns into a human and may in fact be one of the townspeople
While it is a classic story, the dark spin that director Catherine Hardwicke has put on it is both visually and mentally stimulating. Hardwicke is the mastermind behind movies like the cult classic "Lords of Dogtown" and the wildly popular first installment of "Twilight." She knows how to make a movie that has dark undertones, and "Red Riding Hood" is no exception.
With a cast anchored by Seyfried along with Gary Oldman as the werewolf hunter, it is not hard to see how "Red Riding Hood" could be, at the very least, a new and interesting take on an old classic.
-Corianne Egan
Location: Cinemark, 5159 Hinkleville Road, Paducah
Director: Catherine Hardwicke
Run Time: 120 mins
Show Times: 12:15 p.m., 2:40 p.m., 5:05 p.m., 7:30 p.m., 10 p.m. Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Each year in the United States, approximately three thousand teenage drivers are fatally injured and hundreds of thousands more suffer debilitating injuries as a result of auto collisions. In fact, statistics show that a new teenage driver has an 89% chance of having a collision of some kind in the first three years of driving.
The Miles Ahead Teen Driving Intensive is a special instructional program conducted specifically for licensed teenage drivers and held exclusively at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Taught by professional racecar drivers from the Mazda Road to Indy and the IZOD IndyCar Series, teen drivers will receive professional, behind-the-wheel training in order to be better prepared for the hazards of driving on public roads.
On certain class dates you may combine your half-day Miles Ahead program with an IMS Grounds Tour, or an Indy Racing Experience Two-Seater Ride or Singe-Seater IndyCar drive for the ultimate IMS family experience.
The Miles Ahead Teen Driving Intensive is conducted from early spring through late fall. You may register to attend on the company's web site at www.bemilesahead.net.

Here I go (version 2.8.2 on september 18, 2012) =>
***Who am I:
- I'm a normal anime otaku, from Romania, Europe.
- I'm like many here, on Anime-Planet: I watch anime and love them.
***How i watch anime:
- I try to watch anime every day (the life and technical issues stop me sometimes)
- I usually watch 2 anime series at a time. One with 24-26 episodes and one with 12-13 episodes. If the 26 ep. anime is bad, hopefully the 13 one is good and compensate each other... the reverse is the same... But many times both are good :)
- I watch 6 episodes a day but it may variate (from 1 in the case of movies to 12 or more)
- So around 12 anime per month (about 200 episodes) . It isn't much... not at all.
***What I watch:
- Comedy is the main genre (i want to laugh or smile at least) and I continue with (how they are tagged here on Anime-Planet): Slice of life, Moe, Ecchi, Harem, Otaku culture, Parody, School Life and some other but is getting boring to write all ... and i'm a lolicon :)
- I don't watch: violence themed anime or drama with the following tags : Cyberpunk, Demons, Feudal Japan, Fighting, Gore, Historical, Horror , Martial arts, Soccer Three kingdoms, Samurais, Zombie, Yaoi, War, Westerns ....
- I watch already completed anime ( I don't want to wait a week or more for a new episode)
- I don't watch a series in one shot no matter how hard is to resist :) ( I want to enjoy the serie in the following day to)
- I prefer subbed anime over dubbed. And in english of course.
*** How I rate:
- I give only 5 ***** or nothing at all.
- If I like a anime or something special from it so at the end i'm glad i seen it i rate it 5*
- If I don't like it or not so much (probably is a boring anime) i don't rate it at all.
- One of my comments said that isn't fair if i rate it this way. But please... go to any anime here, and go to the user list: even the best of the best or the worst anime have ratings between 0.5 and 5... so i'm not unfair.
*** Other things:
- My anime list is up to date, because I update here after I watch all the episodes for the day.
- If i have to choose between anime or the manga: i choose anime.
- The first anime i watched, was in kindergarden (serious...). Many from my country say that Sailor Moon was the first anime that aired: No it wasn't...I watched anime (are on my watched list) before that, but i think many recall them as cartoons... even Sailor Moon is a cartoon for many.
- The moment i started to watch anime in the serious way was 4-5 year ago when I got internet conection: internet is the way anime comes to me. I download them but don't blame me for it.
- My anime colection: 13 anime posters , 11 manga volumes, some badges, many stickers and that's all. This will change soon, there are anime conventions in the country and there is the world wide web to ^__^
- My current avatar is Cirno from the Touhou series.
- My current signature image is http://www.anime-planet.com/characters/kuniko-hojo from Shangri-La anime .
- The top page image is Mizore from Rosario + Vampire.
*** I used the "list" feature of this site to make....lists :) Here you go: http://www.anime-planet.com/users/dgmikep/lists . It took some time to pick them, and i will make many more. So "subscribe" :))
***I will update here when i will remember what :P So you may have a reason to read it all, again :))
***I will reply on any comments... or try to :D So post one if you arrive on this page... :P

OMG silly me, nu am observat butonul de chat de sub profil :D
Multumesc pentru raspuns...foarte ciudat modul de comunicare prin mesaje pe profil, mi-ar fi placut un chat room sau PM, de exemplu vreau sa intreb ceva si umplu profilul cu comenatrii inutile :|
Salut! Long time no see...pe scurt, era un grup pe facebook in care mi-ai dat invite dar nu mai fac parte din el si nu il mai gasesc, poti sa mi-l postezi si mie pe profil? (sau oriunde mai vorbiti voi) Multumesc.
P.S anul asta va mai strangeti la Nijikon?; am inteles ca e la Turbohalle sau ceva de genu...

Who doesn't like an empanada?
Having lived in the cultural mecca that is Miami, I've been exposed to these delicious savory pastries many times over. You can get them prepared in a variety of ways, but I say the best ones consist of some meaty goodness wrapped in dough. Thought to have originated in Spain, they're also eaten all over South America…and I have to say – I really don't care where they're from – they're popular everywhere, and for good reason. They're delicious.
What makes these babies so perfect in my book is the endless options for fillings. You can totally play with it! Of course, I had to do two different types – one beef, one chicken. I found two Gourmet recipes on Epicurious, and then adapted them to my liking (omitted raisins, added corn, among other changes). I also bought the frozen empanada disks instead of making the dough – which I highly recommend if you want to save some time, so convenient. To make them somewhat healthier, I avoided the deep-fry method here and baked them in the oven. I was especially excited to do this after watching Sunny Anderson make her own version the other day on the Food Network; she brushed this 'sazon butter' over them before baking, which gave them this gorgeous orange-red coloring and helped them to brown so perfectly.
Biting into them is like biting into a little piece of meaty heaven; the outside so perfectly crisp, and the inside steaming hot and packed with flavor.
Beef Empanadas
- 2 hard-boiled large eggs
- 1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 3/4 pound ground beef chuck
- 1 1/2 tablespoons chopped pimiento-stuffed olives
- 1/2 cup frozen corn, defrosted
- 1/2 cup shredded white Cheddar
- 1 (14-ounce) can whole tomatoes in juice, drained, reserving 2 tablespoons juice, and chopped
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon sazon seasoning
- 12 store-bought (6-inch) empanada wrappers
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
Make filling:
Cook onion in olive oil in a heavy medium skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until softened. Add garlic and spices and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Stir in beef and cook, breaking up lumps with a fork, until no longer pink, about 4 minutes.
Add olives, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and tomatoes with reserved juice, then cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid is reduced but mixture is still moist, about 5 minutes. Add your corn and cheese, and spread on a dish to cool.
Chicken Empanadas with Chorizo and Olives
- 3 whole chicken legs, including thighs (2 to 2 1/4 pounds total)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 large onions, halved lengthwise, then cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch-wide strips
- 2 large garlic cloves, minced
- 2 bay leaves
- 1/3 cup finely diced Spanish chorizo (1 ½ oz)
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 cup chopped pitted green olives
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1/2 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon sazon seasoning
- 12 store-bought (6-inch) empanada wrappers
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
Make filling:
Here you are going to braise your chicken, which takes longer but is totally worth it. The chicken will be so moist and have tons of flavor. To start, pat it dry and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then brown chicken, turning over once, about 6 minutes total, and transfer to a plate. Sauté onions, garlic, and bay leaves in fat remaining in skillet, stirring frequently, until onions are softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Add chorizo and paprika and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add olives, wine, and broth and bring to a boil, stirring and scraping up any brown bits. Return chicken to skillet along with any juices accumulated on plate, then reduce heat to moderately low and simmer chicken, covered, turning over once, until tender, 25 to 30 minutes total.
Transfer chicken to a clean plate. (Sauce in skillet should have thickened up to the consistency of heavy cream; if it's not, briskly simmer until you get there, about 5 minutes.) When chicken is cool enough to handle, discard skin and bones and coarsely chop meat. Stir chicken into sauce and discard bay leaves. Season with salt and pepper, then cool filling, uncovered, about 30 minutes.
Form and bake empanadas:
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
Melt the butter with the sazon powder in a small pan over low heat. Stir well to combine and reserve.
Working with 1 wrapper at a time, scoop 2 heaping tablespoons of the filling into the center of the wrapper. Brush the edges of the dough with beaten egg, then fold the dough over to form a half moon, pressing out the air with your fingertips. Don't put too much filling in or it will get messy! Use the edge of a fork to pinch and seal the edges, creating a border about 1-inch wide. Repeat with remaining filling and wrappers.
Transfer the patties to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Using a pastry brush, coat the tops of patties with the reserved sazon butter. Bake according to dough package instructions, or until puffed and lightly browned, about 20 minutes.

Cameron again you circle the wagons and promote fear . You use idealogy to defend science . Basically all your opinions are that , opinions .
Cap and Trade has helped this economy ? How much have the emmissions been lowered and what has the effect been on global warming ? Cap and Trade has helped ? Sounds good , reveal to us how in a scientific measurement . What has that donme to effect global warming . Do you think the resources used to pay for Cap and Trade could have been used better to support clean energy ?
In DC they spent almost half a million dollars to make the Capital Green . Turns out the equalivent of one car being taken off the road was what it amounted to in actual measurement .
How much effect you think that had on Global warming . As long as you walk lock step in the envirnoment wack jobs you loose almost all creditability . Thats the problem , the envirnomental lobby has lost their trust among many because of their circle the wagons and lack of concern for science , your sky is falling theory is not based in science .
The water level is rising , we know that , look what Bloomberg did to get ready for it ?
Nothing , nothing at all . Cap and Trade helped what ? There are short term solutions that are basic , there are long term solutions we all can agree on , for it not only insures an availability of energy , it promotes a healthier envirnoment .
The problem is you base your science in politics , its obvious from your past posts . Of course its economic , oil is cheaper its why we use it . The economy would fall apart implementing the changes and unless you deal with reality you fail to get political consenus . You promote this belief of one branch of government being sold out to oil , thats the lefts view . I suggest that science is ignored as well as common sense from the political left . You are coming from a liberal political Many scientists disagree with what you just said . many !into a box that will not fit right now .Because you fail to make your argument , we get the slurs and comments of anti science and ignorance , or slurs like recently used . Why would some one use a religious slur to defend global warming positions ? I suggest to you that comes from a very far leftist camp . Well now that is ending , science is making a comeback , and it will continue to as long as it trumps politics . To suggest the envirnomental left has not hurt the issue relating to this is living in a dream world. Science is not a leftist position , or is it only defended by the left .
Sorry your just not making sense here .
Mick, I don't think you actually read what I wrote. I did not say we are currently using a cap-and-trade program to deal with CO2 emissions (although, a coalition of Northeast states has been and it is making a difference). I said cap-and-trade has been used in the past to deal with other emission issues and it has been successful. I even linked to sources, which you ignored. You also ignored my first two links which are grounded in published science, not opinion. If fact, nothing I wrote is based on politics, but on modern science and economics.

Fort Worth Wedding DJ Fort Worth
Next to the wedding ceremony, your wedding reception is the biggest part of your wedding day and aside from the food and drink, the most important part of your wedding reception is the music. In the United States it has become very common to use a Disc Jockey (DJ) to provide the music and emcee at wedding receptions. Finding a DJ for your reception is probably going to be a bit more complicated but a lot more important decision than you may think.
We're here to help...
We're here to help by trying to go over some basic do's and don'ts in finding just the right DJ for your special day.

Fabulous Wedding DJs
Thanks for everything! Our wedding was perfect. Thanks for all of your help. We really appreciate you taking your time to meet with us several times before the wedding to get everything arranged. I also appreciate you keeping in touch with me via e-mail during the months leading up to the wedding. Thanks for working with our duet to get their sound system perfect for the ceremony.
Kirk, I would have to say that your professionalism and demeanor was definitely the best, 10 out of 10! Of all the vendors we used you and the photographer were our favorite... We appreciated your disposition and didn't have a worry as the night progressed. We would recommend your services to anyone! If only the person who made the cake had your expertise....
Finding the right DJ is essential to having a great wedding reception, hire the wrong one and it can ruin your whole day! A bad DJ can actually turn your reception into a nightmare, so this really is a very important decision and should be made very carefully.
People usually opt to use DJs because it's simpler than dealing with a live band and usually less expensive. You will usually find quite a few DJs in your area to choose from, and they will range in experience from casual guys that moonlight and do it on the side to professional wedding and corporate DJ companies and DJ's that can come equipped with their own light show if that's what you want.
The bottom line in deciding on your DJ, and the single most determining factor, should be experience, experience, experience. You should always opt for the DJ with the most experience - specifically wedding reception experience - that you can find.
There is a flow to wedding receptions and a professional, experienced wedding DJ that has done many receptions is familiar with how receptions proceed, the traditions, and how to emcee and keep your reception moving along and keep your guests happy and dancing. There is also nobody that can save your reception faster when something goes wrong, food gets delayed, or other things happen, than a really experienced wedding reception DJ. Most of the time your guests will never know of a problem as the DJ has kept them entertained while the problem was fixed.
One of the best ways to find a top-notch wedding DJ is to ask the venue where you are having your reception if they have one that has done numerous weddings there that they can recommend. A DJ that knows the venue and the support staff and has worked it many times before is a real advantage, obviously has the experience and can really help things run super smoothly.
If you are using a DJ company, a good idea is to always insist on hiring the owner of the company. The owner will probably cost more to hire but they will almost always have more experience and it is usually well worth the extra money. You can specify this in your contract with no substitutions allowed so they can't switch at the last minute. But getting back to what we talked about before, always have your own backup plan, even if you're using the best DJ company on the planet, and always check in quickly and confirm a month, and then the week before your wedding to make sure everything is still on track.
Another good way to find a good DJ is word of mouth or personal experience. Ask co-workers and friends or maybe the DJ that did that awesome job at the last wedding you went to is available.
OK, you've done your homework and you've found your perfect DJ. He's got a lot of experience, has done a lot of weddings, and you get along with him well personally and you're ready to meet in person. There are a few things you should go over with and look for from your DJ, and a good one will want to go over these with you to ensure a smooth and memorable reception.
There are a lot of pro's and cons to both in deciding on whether to use either a band or a DJ for the music at your reception. In a nutshell the choice boils down to what kind of musical feel and experience you want for your reception and the amount of money you want to spend. Let's talk for just a minute about wedding bands to illustrate the major differences and see if maybe that's the way you want to go, then we'll get back to DJ's. The same rules of thumb will apply to finding and hiring either and to the contracts and what you should ask for and expect for from both.
Having a live band provides a much different musical experience for your reception but they usually cost a lot more. Live bands have a much bigger sound, different dynamic and larger presence and can interact with your guests a bit differently than a DJ. Wedding bands will usually always play requests and emcee the reception in basically the same way as a DJ.
An experienced wedding band knows how to keep your reception moving along and keep it exciting, keep people dancing and do all the traditional, intimate things like having special dances for the bride and her father, groom and his mother, etc. On the downside, you are dealing with a group of people instead of just one or two, and a lot more equipment, which means there are that many more things that can go wrong, so bands can tend to be somewhat more unreliable than DJs tend to be.
A DJ is not as large a presence and the sound is very different than a live band, but a good DJ can really work a crowd and entertain your guests and they cost a lot less. An experienced wedding DJ can really make your reception special. DJ's usually have an extensive library of music so they can take care of almost any requests, they cost a lot less and you're only dealing with one or sometimes two people, so your chances of something going wrong are minimized. Having said that, since you usually are only dealing with one person, if something does go wrong with that one person, or they have the wrong or a bad personality, you can end up with nobody or just a really long, really bad day. Bands and DJ's can both usually find a quick replacement if someone can't make it, but you can see the problem with both.
A good rule of thumb is to try and have a backup for either and that they will be available on fairly short-notice and that your band or DJ will try to call you in plenty of time if they run into trouble of any kind in making it to your reception. A phone call to your band or DJ one month and again one week before your wedding, to confirm everything is set, is always a good idea, this gives time to get your backup in place if you need to. This should just be a quick, friendly call, just to say hi and make sure all is still on track and to go over any last minute changes, requests or ideas.
Don't get overly concerned with problems or something going wrong though, just have fun planning you special day! Many of the problems with no-shows and bad equipment we discussed above will rarely occur if you do your homework and use due diligence in picking an experienced, professional band or DJ. But they can happen, and it's a really good idea to have some kind of a backup plan in place.

You are here:
Being independent is important but there may be times when you, a family member or friend needs a little help to keep your independence.
If you are having difficulties because of your eye condition your local authority can offer you support. You do not need to be registered to receive support. The support available might be to help you shop, look after your home or even help you with personal care.
This support is called community care (sometimes called social care) and is provided by your local social services department. You might be worried that social services will make decisions without asking your opinion meaning that you will have little or no control over your life. This is not how social services should work. Social services should be about empowering you to provide you with the help and assistance you need.
You should be involved as much as possible with how your community care will be provided. This means that Social Services should listen to your thoughts, ideas and needs when options are being considered and decisions made.
The help that you can receive from community care varies from one local authority to another, but can include things like:
The level of help that you receive will depend on the level of help that you need. The aim is to support those who are eligible to lead lives that are as independent as possible. Ask your local authority for information about community care and what services it provides for people with sight problems.
To know if you are eligible for help you first have to have an assessment. An assessment is traditionally carried out by a social worker, who would visit you at home and ask a series of questions about different aspects of your life. Traditional methods of assessment are changing, with personalisation introducing innovations such as self-assessments.
Once you have been assessed social services will use nationally set criteria to decide what, if any, help you could receive. You have a right to an assessment, but this does not mean that ultimately you will receive help. However, its worth having an assessment so that you have a clear picture of your needs.
If you have a friend or relative who cares for you, then they have the right to ask for an assessment of their needs as a carer. This is a way of helping that person to care for you.
Personalisation, through self-directed support, is changing how community care is being provided in England. This could lead to new and innovative ways of care being provided. We have a factsheet that explains about this in more detail. Go to our personalisation page for more information.
For an assessment to be as useful to you as possible it is important to prepare. This is true whether you are self-assessing or undergoing a more traditional type of assessment. The purpose of preparing for the assessment is to include the real impact that your disabilities or health conditions have on your life daily. If you do not give a true reflection of your needs you will not get the proper support.
This will give a more accurate and much fuller picture of any assistance that you need, which will lead to a better assessment. Further information on preparing for a social care assessment can be found on our factsheet of the same name below.
An assessment can be one of the biggest areas of dispute between you and the social services department. This can be for reasons including delays in the assessment being carried out or that after an assessment no help was provided. These are just two examples of the reasons why you might wish to complain.
Your Local Authority should be able to provide you with information on how to complain. In England the complaints procedure is now just one stage. When your Local Authority receives the complaint they must acknowledge this and contact you to discuss how you wish the matter to be resolved. They then have up to six months to provide a written resolution to your complaint.
You can ask your Local Authority for help to complain or you can contact a local advice agency to help you. Our Legal Rights Service can also help you to complain.
If you are not happy with the response received, you could take your complaint to the Local Government Ombudsman. For more information on the complaint procedure see our "Complaining to Social Services" factsheet below.
If you do receive help and you are happy with the service provided you may be asked to contribute towards the cost. Each Local Authority has its own policy on charging but there is guidance that they must follow.
Any charge imposed should be affordable and you can challenge the amount if you believe it to be excessive. In deciding how much you may pay, most of your income will be considered. There are exceptions to this and saving will only be considered when above a certain amount.
Your Local Authority should give you any information that you want in the format that is accessible to you. Tell them if you prefer information in large print, audio or braille.
If you have difficulties communicating or you need an interpreter because English is not your first language, then social services should provide this support.
If you decide to ask social services for support you can get their phone number from our Helpline on 0303 123 9999, from Directory Enquiries or you will find them in the phone book. You can also find their details through your Local Authority's website. To find out your Local Authority, you can use the local council directory.
If you feel hesitant about contacting social services yourself, someone else can do this on your behalf.
Services in Scotland and Northern Ireland may be organised in a different way. Your local social work department in Scotland, or Health and Social Services Trust in Northern Ireland, will be able to give you information about arrangements for community care services in your area.
If you have any further questions regarding social services please call our Helpline on 0303 123 9999 and ask to speak to the Advice Service or email email@example.com.

Star on the horizon
Goalie Kendall McIntosh '15 joins SCU's soccer team with an already impressive career—and more is on the way.
You might say freshman Kendall McIntosh '15 owes his emergence as one of the most promising goalkeepers in the country to getting a late start.
By the time McIntosh's focus shifted from basketball and baseball to soccer, he was a 9-year-old neophyte competing against boys who'd been playing the sport for half their young lives. So his mother pushed him to try the one position where his hands still mattered—goalkeeper.
It proved to be a prescient move. Later this month, McIntosh will head to Mexico for the latest installment of a sparkling youth career, joining the U.S. Under-20 National team in the 2013 CONCACAF championship, which features the best teams from North and Central America. The top four teams will advance to the Under-20 World Cup this summer in Turkey.
Playing for his country is nothing new for McIntosh, a member of Santa Clara's soccer team. He has represented the United States at numerous levels, including the Under-17 World Cup, where the U.S. team progressed to the 16th round before bowing out 4–0 to a German team laden with professionals. Even in the rout, McIntosh distinguished himself.
"The goalkeeping position is not so much about running around being super-active, it's a lot about thinking."
As the Sporting News reported: "The result would have been far uglier for the Americans if not for goalkeeper Kendall McIntosh, who made a series of acrobatic—sometimes point-blank—saves that kept the score line somewhat respectable."
For all McIntosh's obvious athleticism, Eric Yamamoto '90, MBA '95, SCU's assistant coach, stresses the mental attributes that have allowed him to thrive—his work ethic, his coolness under pressure, and especially his ability to read the game. It's a point that McIntosh echoes when asked about his success.
"The goalkeeping position is not so much about running around being super-active, it's a lot about thinking," says McIntosh, who grew up in Santa Rosa. "One of my strengths as a person is that I love to learn and I love to analyze situations. It's a perfect fit."
With a father who played basketball for Harvard and a brother who played soccer at Duke, McIntosh is well acquainted with the importance of being a thinker on and off the field of play. A serious student, he graduated from high school a semester early to start his college career.
He chose SCU in large part because of the trust he'd built up with the coaches, particularly Yamamoto, an All-American goalie during his student days at SCU, who has long experience working with the youth national teams. "It was a great opportunity for me to come in and learn from him," McIntosh says.
The decision was a major reason TopDrawerSoccer.com, the online bible of collegiate soccer, ranked SCU's recruiting class last year as the seventh best in the nation. But with only one goalkeeping spot on the field, even McIntosh, an elite five-star recruit, had to sit most of last season as senior Larry Jackson '13, the eventual 2012 WCC Goalkeeper of the Year, held down the starting role.
McIntosh, who gets added respect from his coaches for his maturity, was philosophical about having to wait. Not playing, he admits, was frustrating, but it was a great way to absorb lessons from older players: "It's a great way to grow as a person."
With Jackson's graduation, McIntosh figures to play a vastly expanded role in Santa Clara's next campaign. Of course, he's got some business in Mexico to attend to first.

text: Lillie Mae Moody Jones left Tallahassee, Florida to be with the Lord on May 2, 2012 at home in the arms of her husband and daughter following a long illness and fruitful and loving lifetime lasting 87 years. She is survived by her devoted husband of 68 years, Herbert Rudell Jones and a daughter Robbie Nell Jones also of Tallahassee.Lillie grew up in Baxter County Arkansas on a large farm where she amusingly recalled "sleeping with the sheep" at times. She attended Halls Chapel Primary School and Norfork High School. While working in St. Louis she wrote a letter and requested Herbert to "meet me here in St. Louis", and he did! She was a wonderful homemaker, mother and also was employed throughout the years by Hercules Powder Company in Kansas, Belk Lindsey of Florida, and Toy King Stores.Lillie was a chosen one of the Lord, and baptized by the late Reverend Carl Davis at Jordan Landing in Lake Norfork. She was a 20 year member at Thomasville Road Baptist Church in Tallahassee, and a member in absence at Trimble Campground Church in Dolph, Arkansas. She received the gift of outstanding ability to memorize and recite Holy Scripture in 1978. One of her favorite passages was Romans Chapter 8. She shared her gift of renewing of the mind by God's Holy Spirit through recital messages of various chapters of the Bible in over 130 presentations during fourteen years. Her recitals took place at the locations of WPIO Radio Station in Titusville, Florida, WWBC in Cocoa Florida, TV Channel 52 in Winter Park, Florida, the Sharpes State Prison, as well as presentation/recitals in Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, and Alabama. She had notable accomplishments of memorization through beautiful, insightful compilations of Bible verses from several Bible chapters, which tell the Christmas and Easter Stories with musical accompaniments.Other survivors include a brother Orville Moody of Bolivar, Missouri, a step-brother Dois Rand of Winfield, Missouri, two sisters, Daisy Mae Jones of Roland Arkansas, and Reda Mae O'Dell of Caulfield, Missouri, as well as many nieces and nephews.She was a lovely person and very precious to the Jones and Moody families as well as her many friends. She will be deeply missed.Visitation will be Saturday, May 5, 2012 from Noon to 9:00 P.M., with the family receiving friends from 6:00 to 8:00 P.M. Funeral Services will be held Sunday, May 6, 2012 at 1:00 P.M. at the Roller Funeral Home Chapel. Interment will be in the family plot at Hand Cemetery, Jordan, Arkansas. Donations to the Alzheimer's Foundation may be made in lieu of flowers. Arrangements are under the direction of Roller Funeral Home.
