But I have to grow out of it, because it's very boring, really. Even when you're telling people how crap you are, you're still banging on about yourself.

I never felt I was quite the ticket academically. I always felt I had to put in an enormous amount of effort not to be disappointing. So I worked really hard, but at the time it suited me, because I didn't do very much else.

The odd thing is if you asked me to do the accent now I would find it very difficult unless I was also playing that part, because I associate it so much with entering into the role and stepping into someone else's shoes.

Lt. Pete Kirvin, Firefighter Jason "Hutch" Hutchinson and Lt. Jeff Knowles |
The Hammerhead Adventure Run was created to support the Boca Grande Fire Department's Benevolence Fund. The fund helps firefighters and their families in emergencies.
This year, a portion of the money raised in the run will be going to the father of Jason "Hutch" Hutchinson.
Jim Hutchinson contracted Hepatitis C while in the Army, most likely from improperly cleaned medical equipment. Between 20 and 40 percent of those who get Hepatitis C have a persistant infection. Eventually, the damage done to the liver is so great that the organ fails, and a transplant is the only option. In fact, Hepatitis C is the leading cause of liver transplants.
Jim Hutchinson is in the process of establishing his eligibility for treatment through the VA, but until then he still needs a doctor's care. And the costs are mounting. His doctor is walking a fine line between keeping Jim healthy and waiting for the inevitable failure of his liver.
Until then, he spends what time he can with his grandkids, though he does get tired easily.
"He's the best grandpa you could ask for," said his son, Jason.
The rest of the money raised will go into the fund. According to Jason, the department is already thinking of what it could be used for.
"Drowning is the number one cause of accidental death in young kids," he explained. "We are thinking about setting up a class to teach all of our children to swim, a survival swimming class. Also, we've been talking about setting up a scholarship fund for any of the firefighters or their families who might need help paying for school."
At last year's event, dozens of runners came out to participate in the Hammerhead Adventure Run. It started with a pile of soaking-wet shoes. The runners were instructed to take them off and throw them in a pile, at which time the firefighters sprayed them with gallons of water. Then the runners had to find their shoes in the pile before even beginning the race. They then had to carry a brick for a mile, dive under a net into a pool of freezing water, defeat tire obstacles, then jump in the Gulf, crawl under fences, run up the beach, squirm through tubes and much more.
It was a good time ... if you're a masochist. But if you ever wondered what type of drills the firefighters have to go through in their competitions, this is pretty close.
So put on your running shoes (but not ones you like too much) and start practicing for, well, who knows what the brilliantly twisted minds protecting Gasparilla Island will come up with this time?

Corporate & Small Business Web Design / Development
Your business web presence needs to STAND OUT. You need a web presence that will GRAB peoples' attention, INFORM THEM about what you do, ENGAGE THEM in a conversation about your product, and finally - CALL THEM to action. If you do not accomplish ALL of these things, you have accomplished NONE of them.
Designing a web presence is more than just color schemes and font sizes. It is the ability to create a web presence that will accomplish ALL of the above items and make your website a success.
Think about it.
Your web presence is more than just a website. It is ONLINE REAL ESTATE. It is an asset on which you build your business.
There is NO WAY that you would build a home or any other piece of real estate without a solid design and plan. That plan would likely begin with the end in mind. With a VISION of EXACTLY what would be both aesthetically pleasing and yet totally functional.
Your web presence is ONLINE REAL ESTATE. Isn't it time you gave it the attention to detail that it deserves?
We treat small business and corporate websites DIFFERENTLY.
And we do it for a reason. Small business NEEDS to have a lower cost solution that has all of the basic functional elements of their bigger corporate competitors, BUT they cannot afford the expense that comes with a custom built branded solution. We provide well designed alternatives for small business that accomplish this, with the understanding that less creative involvement is part of this solution.
Corporate Websites involve creative input, custom design and EXCLUSIVE branding to match the rest of your company's image. Website Designs are custom creations at this level. They are unique, one of a kind and are built to a level of detail that requires much more time per site.
Two different web presences for two completely unique business needs.
We are not limited in scope and are happy to engage clients in "pre" project planning, consulting to recover website projects gone "bad", or simply where you need the reassuring presence a professional designer who UNDERSTANDS the needs of your small business or corporate web presence. Someone who "get's it."

Glossary of Cosmetic and Chemical Terms
1,3-butadiene Found in May be an impurity in antiperspirant/deodorants, styling mousse,
shaving cream, hairspray, body spray, mascara, fragrance, lip gloss. Purpose Plasticizer produced from the processing of petroleum, primarily used in the production of synthetic rubber and plastics. Food and cosmetics containers can contain this chemical as a contaminant. It is not deliberately added to cosmetic products but can be present as an impurity in butane – a propellant added to aerosol personal care products. In the EU, 1,3-butadiene is banned for use in cosmetic products. Adverse reactions In low concentrations, 1,3-butadiene is a central nervous system depressant. It is a multiple-organ carcinogen in rats and mice and is classified as a probable human carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer and as a known human carcinogen by bodies such as the National Toxicology Program and the US Environmental Protection Agency. Occupational exposure is associated with leukaemia. There is also some evidence that it is genotoxic (capable of damaging DNA) in humans and it has caused liver and kidney disease and damaged lungs in animals exposed to low levels over a year. Long-term exposure to 1,3-butadiene caused shrinking of the ovaries in female mice and shrinking of the testes in male mice. It also causes adverse effects to the bone marrow and blood of mice. High-level exposure to 1,3-butadiene can cause eye, nose and throat irritation, drowsiness, decrease blood pressure and pulse rate, blurred vision, nausea, vertigo, unconsciousness and even death at high concentrations. It is also irritating to the skin and mucous membranes. |
Abrasive Material used for grinding, polishing, shaping etc through the action of rubbing. Abrasives are often used in toothpastes and exfoliating scrubs. |
Absorbant Substances used in cosmetics to absorb water or other substances. |
Acid Corrosive organic or inorganic substances with a pH less than 7 that donate hydrogen ions in an aqueous solution. Cosmetics with a low acid level would cause skin irritation. |
Alkaline Having a pH between 7 and 14, with 14 being the most alkaline. |
Alkane An organic molecule consisting only of carbon and hydrogen atoms in straight or branched chains, where the carbon atoms in the chain are linked by single bonds. Alkanes occur naturally in petroleum and natural gas. Examples include butane, hexane, methane, pentane and propane. |
Amines Ammonia derivatives that contain nitrogen. |
Amphoteric Surfactant An amphoteric substance can function as an acid or base. Amphoteric surfactants can have different ionisation states in solution, anionic, cationic, or non-ionic, depending on the water's pH. |
Anionic Surfactant In anionic surfactants the water hating (hydrophobic) part of the molecule carries a negative charge. Anionic surfactants are most widely used for shampoos, dishwashing liquids and laundering. Examples include alkyl sulphates, alkyl ethoxylate sulphates and soap. |
Anti-caking agent Compound used to prevent clumping or caking in a product. |
Anti-foaming Agent A substance that reduces the formation of excess foam, both during production and consumer use. |
Antimicrobial Added to cosmetic products to prevent or minimise the growth of undesirable microbes on the skin or body. |
Antioxidant A molecule capable of slowing or reducing oxidative damage (damage caused by oxygen), such as the damage caused by free radicals. Antioxidants are usually added to cosmetics to prevent their deterioration by exposure to oxygen in the air. |
Antiseptic See Antimicrobial. |
Antistatic Agent Prevents the build up of static charges within cosmetics on human surfaces, for example on skin, hair or clothing. |
Astringent Used to constrict the skin thereby producing a tightening sensation. |
Binder Substances added to a product for their adhesive qualities, helping solids bind together, e.g. face powder, eye shadow. |
Biocide A chemical agent capable of killing living organisms, e.g. fungicides, herbicides and pesticides. Triclosan is often used as biocide in anti-bacterial hand and body washes to inhibit bacterial development. |
Botanical Ingredients derived from plants to proffer particular attributes, e.g. aloe vera. |
Buffering Agent Adjusts the pH of a formulation. |

04-07-2010, 11:00 PM #2Well, not many people answering this one...!
I'll just say I love the set I have. They look good, they are super handy, they attract a lot of attention, and and are holding up really good to the wear and tear. I've purposefully not been nice to them and they're still almost like new.
I'm sure everyone that's interested has read my posts and blogs so I won't go into detail, but I would love to hear how others are liking their set as well.

BP Comment Quick Links
March 4, 2013 Skewed LeftIt's No Good to Get Old (Except for These Guys)What if you'd been asked back in 2003—following the greatest season since 1950 for aging hitters—which position players in their prime would be the likeliest candidates to enter 2013 as the best old guys? Sure you'd have predicted Derek Jeter, but Nomar Garciaparra and Miguel Tejada would have been in the same sentence. Ichiro would have come to mind too, since he'd have seemed like someone who'd probably age okay, but Bobby Abreu, Johnny Damon, and Manny Ramirez would have been popular outfield picks as well. Even if you knew Chipper Jones would be retiring with something left in the tank, there was still a third baseman on the board. Edgardo Alfonzo, a seven-win player in 2000 and a five-win player in 2002, is even younger than Jones. No matter whom you picked, you mostly would have been wrong, and through no fault of your own. It's just the worst time in decades for older players. Jeter had a pretty good 2012 until he had to be carried off the field at the end, and Ichiro found a little life after the trade from the Mariners to the Yankees, but that's really about it. In 2002, hitters in their age-37 seasons and up combined to produce 39.7 wins above replacement player, and that figure stayed above 30 wins as recently as 2007. But since then, it's cratered, and the 2012 figure of 3.5 total WARP for all age-37-and-up position players was the lowest since 1984. The natural inclination would be to say that the change can be attributed to drug testing, but it's come with a whole change in the offensive environment, with speed increasingly emphasized and bat-only players in less demand. Things aren't much better for the old pitchers, who had a very similar peak with composite WARPs in the 30s from 2003-2005 but careened to a 12-year low of 5.3 in 2011 before a recovery to 13.3 in 2012. In the aggregate, 2011 and 2012 were the worst years for old players in almost three decades. Most of the names mentioned at the top retired or faded quickly. Some others hung on with poor results—Todd Helton and Hideki Matsui were a win or more below replacement level last year. Others march on strongly, returning for their age 38-plus season with some hope of contributing to their teams

Rebecca Martin Kinzie
At one time I saw a photocopy of my 3rd great grandmother's grave at Rice Cemetery. I also had a person email me that he ran past the Kinzie stone everyday and he actually thought her husband William Kinzie was buried there. The stone has an inscription that she was the consort of William Kinzie. I beleive the date of her death was 1842. Somewhere there has to be records of her burial at the Rice cemetery. I am thinking she had been moved from another place of burial before coming to Rice Cemetery. William Kinzie is buried in Nebraska, in an unmarked grave at a small country cemetery, not far from where he lived with his son James. The early burial records were destroyed by fire. Can anyone find the plot. On one webiste, it mentioned #195 for Rebecca and William Kinzie.

Hi Geoff, You had an old posting for photo request. When I took photo last year, I couldn't find it.
There is now an on going restoration project in Old Cemetery by a distant cousin's wife. If they find Ann and Herbert, I will take photos. They did restore the Crofoot stones, Sally Trowbridge Crowfoot, your 4th great aunt (my 3rd great grandma)and her husband James and daughter Sally. I posted updated photos of those. Any way I will let you know if they find the Trowbridges there.

Well theres word that tech is planning a worldwide choppers 2 and i think its gonna be dope. these are the choppers that i think should be given a spot on the track: Krayzie or bizzy bone, twisted insane, crucified, outsider (the fastest rapper in Korea), Ceza, kd stranger, gho5t, Hurricane(of the Choppa Clique) D-Loc the gill god. Thats my opinion, i wanna know what you guys think, who deserves a spot on WWC2?
EXCELLENT LIST!! Agreed 100%!!
Siikez said:
Ok this is how WWC2 should be done.
-Tech (America)
-Ceza (Turkey)
-Outsider (South Korea)
-Def Ill (Austria)
-U$O (Denmark)
-Degom (France)
-Tonedeff (America) ending with another American, to keep you Americans happy. And it's Tonedeff, so..
Outsider 1:19
Def Ill 1:19
Degom 0:29
Tonedeff 0:00
Fuck WWC2 he should scrap working with artists who dont speak english and just do a track with busta and luda. i dont understand foreign languages and dont give a shit about listening to them, either.
well its worldwide, brother...not everyone speaks english.

Tech should reach out to Lowkey for this track. I know he went on hiatus for an indefinite period of time, but maybe he would do a guest verse if someone asked him. He's proven he can chop
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwZB8bXXZcA embed doesn't work
wow ppl are dumb as fuck world wide choppers what dont you get he can have features with those american artists and call it something else world wide means go beyond and do music witht eh world and connect not just american smfh
luda, rittz, mgk (which would probably be a definant anyway cuz of him bein on the tour) and i dont really care about the foreign rappers i think its a cool concept but i cant understand what they say so it doesnt really matter to me
Hmmm, Crucified, TT, Rebel XD, Bizzy Bone, Dalima, def not MGK. I think Wrekonize ahould get a spot. Dirtball...definetely Dirtball.
Young Droop is THE WestCoast Chopper. Flow,Voice,Lyrics,Content,Delivery,Presense,Story telling. Droop has the whole package like Tech or Twista. Too bad more people don't know about dude or forgot about him. He killed the track that Tech featured on his Moment of Impakt album. He outspit Lynch on not just 1 but 2 tracks which was unheard of in those days. And his first three albums slapped all the way thru. I wonder why Tech hasn't done a track with him?
T-nutty did a WestCoast Chopper. It's lightweight slappin imo
Also would like to see Rittz,T-Rock,Twista everytime,BrothaLynch (DOA,24Had2GatYa,RestInPiss,SavageWayz) Lynch chops,Krazie or Bizzy,Spice1,Dawreck,King Sandman
SavSicc and Bleezo should be entertaining as hell. I remember when I first heard them on Twin Evil I was like these dudes are worthy of being SacTown's new era. And than when I heard them again on Therapy Session I was blown away. I have a couple mixtapes they're on but the production level doesn't meet the high quality sound I'd like to hear them on.
I am lookin forward to hearin SavSicc n Bleezo on WWC2..alot!
Shut the fuck up retard.
Midwest Chopper said:
World Wide Choppers is all right but I just don't get why foreign rappers try to sound Midwest? Why don't they invent their own style and do their thing? I honestly don't like when not just foreign rappers but even rappers outside of Midwest and South try to bite our style. I laugh when I hear West Coast and East Coast rappers trana spit that rapid fire, Its not your style mane, leave it to true pioneers the Midwest Side Joe. But I do like when Southern rappers rap fast though cause a lot of fast rap originated in Memphis too.

First inhabited by Bedouin nomads and sustained for centuries by fishing and pearling, this once unremarkable coastal backwater on the Arabian Peninsula is now among the planet's most beguiling, beckoning destinations. Mission Impossible 4, shot extensively here and featuring Tom Cruise scaling the Burj Khalifa, aptly describes Dubai's gravity-defying transformation: While Venice and Vegas are comparable mirages, the "City of Gold," elevated from both water and sand, redefines dare-to-dream derring-do.
Built in 1978, the 37-story Dubai World Trade Centre (37 WTC is an inviting event space on the top floor) became the city's first high-rise. Today, skyscraper-lined Sheikh Zayed Road, somewhere between Oz and Star Wars, is the main thoroughfare of a futuristic city-state built on superlatives.
Dubai introduced the first "7-star" hotel, the sail-shaped Burj Al Arab, where in 2008 a specialty cocktail ran for $7,440. Shaped like a breaking wave, Jumeirah Beach Hotel sits adjacent to Wild Wadi, one of the world's biggest water-based theme parks. Housed inside the massive Mall of the Emirates, Ski Dubai is the world's largest indoor ski slope.
The fate of Dubailand, the mega-billion-dollar entertainment complex calling for super-sized attractions, including multiple full-scale amusement parks and full-scale replicas of the Eiffel Tower, Taj Mahal and other global icons, remains a tantalizing question mark.
"If you don't take risks," stated Dubailand's lead developer in 2008, "you're not serious."
True enough—but when the global recession struck, "serious" meant potentially catastrophic financing defaults in Dubai. Would this Arabian sandcastle crumble, having flown too close to the sun? Far from it. Yes, the runaway growth got checked along with the hype, and many golden dreams were dashed. In the recession's aftermath, though, a sturdier image has emerged: that of a rapidly maturing global business and tourism hub that is here to stay.
North American planners booking Dubai, now established as the Middle East's premier hosting platform, can expect advanced, familiar congressional and hospitality services and techniques. While enjoying these benefits, delegates can also look forward to a profound cultural connection and return on experience like never before.
Master Planning Earlier this year, the Alexandria, Va.-based American Society of Travel Agents (ASTA) announced that it had selected Dubai for its eighth annual International Destination Expo (IDE) in April 2013. Established by ASTA in 2006 to be one of the travel industry's most innovative educational events, IDE is purpose-designed to fully introduce U.S. and international travel agents to a specific travel destination.
"We are looking to grow this event year over year and continue its reputation of excellence, with an eye to increased international travel agent attendance," says Tony Gonchar, CEO of ASTA. "We think that Dubai is ideally positioned to help us achieve this goal."
The move is a testament to Dubai's growing popularity in the U.S. market and the destination's ability to stage large events.
Expecting some 1,000 attendees, ASTA selected Dubai for several reasons.
"Dynamic, progressive and sophisticated, Dubai is a tax-free haven and holiday resort that attracts millions of business professionals and pleasure seekers every year," explains Gonchar explains. "Ideally located between East and West, Dubai is also an appealing geographical draw for North and South American agents as well as those from Asia, Africa and Australia."
Discussions with Dubai's top tourism officials and a comprehensive site inspection sealed the deal.
"Dubai and its appeal to the travel agency community, along with the clear commitment of Dubai's tourism and group entities to working with us to ensure a successful event, provided the comfort level we were looking for," Gonchar says.
To fully buy into and experience Dubai is to know the story of its transformation. Written in part by the well-documented toil of thousands of foreign workers who continue to build Dubai, its master authors are the successive rulers of the Al Maktoum dynasty, in power since 1833.
Taking advantage of Dubai's natural harbor, the largest in the region, Sheikh Saeed (1912-1958) transformed Dubai's economy from pearling to commerce in the 1930s.
While trade remains huge—the Dubai Chamber of Commerce reported an all-time high of $66.9 billion in exports and re-exports in 2011—it was the discovery of oil in 1966 that fueled Dubai's meteoric rise. With the oil supply finite, however, Sheikh Rashid (1958-1990) set in motion the "anything is possible" planning for today's post-oil economy in trade, tourism, real estate and finance.
With Sheikh Maktoum (1990-2006) and present ruler Sheik Mohammed furthering his vision, the master stroke was making Dubai apolitical and pro-business to the max.
Pillars of Growth Dubai's free economic zones across multiple industries, including finance, healthcare and IT, provide for rapid business set-up, with profits fully exportable and free of corporate tax. As the second-largest member of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), the federalized nation of seven states formed in 1971 from the predecessor Trucial States Council, Dubai (both the city and the emirate share the name) and the UAE are pillars of stability in the Middle East and magnets for international commerce and investment.
Ranked the second-safest city in the world by Interpol, Dubai, with zero tolerance policing, remains a remarkable oasis in a region rocked by geopolitical instability. In fact, the present volatility in Syria and other local areas of unrest has only bolstered Dubai's standing as the region's go-to business destination.
Leisure and business travel also continue to enhance Dubai's all-world allure.
According to Dubai's Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing (DTCM), tourism is flourishing. Performance highlights from 2011 include a 10 percent lift in visitors to 9.3 million and a 23 percent increase in guest nights to over 33 million. (The U.S. ranked fifth among source countries, with 462,653 arrivals.)
Driving this growth is DTCM's global promotion of the Dubai brand, with meetings, incentives, conventions and exhibitions (MICE) included in an aggressive, multipronged campaign of strategic marketing programs, trade fairs, road shows and regional offices.
"Dubai's tourism sector has long depended on diversified travelers from diversified source markets," says Jerad Bachar, director of the Dubai Convention Bureau, a division of DTCM.
With four primary tourism pillars—leisure, cruise, MICE and sports—supporting its current four-year strategic plan, DTCM continues to focus on offering different types of services at different price points.
"True for hotels, airlines and attractions, this wider array of services allows Dubai to effectively host all focus-market segments," Bachar says.
Already offering roughly 54,000 hotel rooms in around 575 properties, Dubai plans to have 100,000 rooms ready for a targeted 15 million visitors by 2015—with North American groups counted in the strategy.
"We have found that in addition to seeking a great location for their congress or event, our North American customers are also looking for long-term partnerships and new growth opportunities within their industry," Bachar says. "Accordingly, we are increasing our network of local organizations to assist them in these endeavors, while also educating attendees that Dubai is the center of and gateway for trade, commerce and markets throughout the Middle East."
Bottom line: Dubai has the programs, infrastructure and experience in place for doing business, and its MICE industry, serving as a "multidimensional business catalyst," continues to generate an impressive track record of successful gatherings.
Top-Flight Service Remember Roger Federer and Andre Agassi playing tennis atop the Burj Al Arab's helipad in 2005? Dubai can sure stage a show, but the congressional arts here have also crossed the bridge from razzle-dazzle to reality. Practiced at producing high-profile events such as the European PGA's Dubai Desert Classic and the annual Dubai International Film Festival (Mission Impossible 4 debuted there last year), Dubai also capably hosts 1 million-plus delegates and thousands of exhibitors from around the globe at numerous trade fairs, consumer events and international conferences every year.
On the association front, ICCA currently shows Dubai in a three-way tie at 50th place for international association meetings per city, just behind Washington, D.C., and Hamburg, Germany. Remarkably, this ranking reflects Dubai going from zero such meetings in 2000 to 35 in 2010, with the UAE overall jumping from zero to 48 meetings in the same period.
Dubai's location is key. Equidistant from London and Beijing, its close proximity to Europe, Africa and Asia helps build strong attendance.
"Last December, the World Diabetes Congress attracted over 15,000 delegates," Bachar says. "Our largest shows, in the technology, healthcare and food sectors, annually draw upwards of 50,000 attendees each."
Dubai's acclaimed Emirates Airlines (which offers full-service congressional planning support via its Destination and Leisure Management division) has daily direct service from seven North American gateways, including New York (roughly 13 hours), Toronto, San Francisco, Los Angeles (16-plus hours) and most recently, Seattle and Dallas. Collectively, there are around 15,000 Dubai-bound seats from North America each week.
For North American planners, an ideal starting point for inquiries and information is DTCM's North American office in New York City.
"With a modern meetings infrastructure that meets the highest international standards and expert hospitality professionals sourced from global capitals, meeting planners can instantly see that Dubai will meet their expectations, with familiar business practices," says marketing manager Kathleen Leuba. "Familiar, however, does not mean identical. For many U.S. planners and delegates, Dubai may be their first introduction to Arabian culture, so they appreciate getting a few helpful tips beforehand."
Planners can reliably work directly with local suppliers and resources like the Dubai Convention Bureau's Dubai Bid Alliance, which provides a unique congressional bid package including incentives, specific discounts, pre-negotiated rates and harmonized terms and conditions from Dubai stakeholders.
However, Leuba recommends partnering with one of Dubai's dependable DMCs or PCOs (Professional Conference Organizers).
"It's an accepted, cost-effective way to go, especially when organizing scientific or technical programs," she says.
The introduction in store is positively breathtaking. From the moment you land at Dubai International Airport and head into the city via Metro or taxi, it's the start of a journey far removed from anywhere you have been before.
Plenty will indeed be familiar and mystery-free, from the 1 million-square-foot Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre to the Grand Hyatt Dubai, one of several MICE-designated hotels. Another familiar brand is making a big arrival in late 2012, when the 1,608-room JW Marriott Marquis Dubai, at just 85 feet shy of the Empire State Building, debuts as "the world's tallest dedicated hotel building."
Get there, and Dubai is cost-competitive with other world capitals. Most upscale restaurants are in the hotels, representing cuisines from around the globe, and in true Dubai style, everything from the chefs to the tableware is imported from the home country. With air connections to more than 200 destinations worldwide and a major cargo operation at the airport, fresh food for all tastes and dietary requirements is always available.
Then you start to take in Dubai—the outlandish architecture, the cultural treasures, the gold, textile and spice souks (markets), heirlooms like the historic Bastakiya district and Al Fahidi Fort (the city's oldest structure, built in 1799), the desert adventures, the mosques, the shimmering heat, the sheer impossibility of it all—and the experience becomes transcendent.
In 2008, Paul Sutphin, then U.S. consul general in Dubai, said this of the city-state: "The door is open for more cultural and business engagement, and we should walk through it."
Four years later, and that door is more open than ever: "Marhaba" (welcome) to Dubai.

A friend just told me that Anthony Burger died during a concert last year. Can someone substantiate this? Thank you!
Just beautiful and inspiring! To listen to Dino and Anthony Burger! So grateful that my grandson found Pandora Radio for me!!!
LeMOINE, LYNN, Heather & Jenae BOND enjoyed listening and meeting DINO at a week-evening summer concert at First Presbyterian Church in Danville, Ca in the early eighties... Phenomenal, sound in person as in recordings plus a dynamic and moving testimonial unilog...dlb
mtmagicscent c o
I saw him perform with The Kathyrn Kuhlman Crusade when i was a little boy. Almost 50 yrs later he still touches my heart with his devotion to our Lord Jesus!
Thanks so much for this fabulous assortment of some of the best music God has given us. I love to hear Dino play.
Yes, thank you Pandora for Christian instrumental music that inspires and blesses--mus i c like Dino's and Anthony Burger's. I had given up on Pandora a year ago because I just couldn't find any good Christian music like this. And, by chance (?), I tried again today, and found these two artists and many others when I established an Anthony Burger station. To my surprise and delight, the selections didn't drift off into some other genre as before. Thank you, Pandora. I'm back!
The Lord has used Dino's music to bless, encourage, inspire to worship and bring peace to hurting souls. I've seen him a couple of times in person. Once while working at a ministry in NC and once at a church in Lincoln, NE. He is the real deal. So grateful he's used his gifts to honor Jesus.
For many years now Dino's music has blessed my soul..he continues to have that special touch that only God gives..God continue to use Dino Kartsonakis.
You have Dino Kartsonakis cnfused with the popular singer of the 60s. I believe his last name was Valenti. Please change the information.

Met Dino once. He signed my piano book back when I was taking music lessons. We used his version of Canon in D/It Is Well as the processional for my wedding! :)
Best music ever

yes please change the picture of Dino.
Dino Kartsonakis is much older ...
However I cannot pull him up in Pandora anymore, has he been deleted

you have two different artists here. The Dino I'm listening to is a Christian pianist. But the bio talks about a DJ, singer, etc. The 24/7 album is from a different Dino. Please correct.
Please change the picture you have for Dino. He is a marvelous pianist and deserves his credit. His fans love his music and his personality.
I'm afraid you have the wrong "Dino" associated with "More than Wonderful." It should be Dino Kartsonakis, not the Dino of the 50s and 60s pop music world! Thanks for changing this!!
Amen, Bishop Williams. It would be wonderful for the right man to get acknowledged for his music.
This is really kinda funny. I would love to see the expression of Dino Kartsonakis' face if he ever saw this guys pic come up with his music. Priceless. Lol!
merry_medici n e
Wrong Dino! LOL
So much for the Music Genome Project! LOL. Well, those who know him know him. But the DJ part kinda got me wondering for a bit. Thanks for the great "comment community" to help us with those head-scratch e r s .
Where is Dino now and what is he doing currently?
Pandora has confused this Dino with Dino Kartsonakis. . . .
Yvette, I have always loved this man's music! It is so up lifting and Holy Ghost Moving.
I have seen him a couple of times and have several albums. I love piano and love the way he plays it! Thanks for making it available on Pandora.
I think you may have confused Dino Kartsonakis, professional pianist who plays Christian-in f l u e n c e d music, with Dino Esposito, a singer from the late 1980s. Just maybe...
I don't remember when I first heard Dino, but have been a devoted fan for years. His music just has a way of sweeping away the blues and making things look a little better, and me a little happier. Thank you, God for talent like his.
Oh my gosh! Dino captures who I am. The hymns are interwoven in my every breath and create a since of well being when I hear them. I am very, very thankful to have finally found the music I have been looking for since becoming a PANDORA listener. Thank you for the variety and allowing the Holy Spirit to use you and Dino to bless me.
When I listen to Dino's music my mind is transported to heavenly places, he is won
derfull. Thanks Pandora, you are the best thing that happen in the Internet.
derfull. Thanks Pandora, you are the best thing that happen in the Internet.
Having seen and heard him a number of times; he is a magnificent artist!! Thank-you, Pandora!
Dino IS the best.....and this is not even my style of music. I remember him from when I was a little girl... my mother used to have bus trips to PTL (Jim & Tammy Baker) and I remember seeing Dino there. He is AWESOME!!!
Dino is best christian gospel pianist in my time. I consider him the Librace of christian piano music. He is tops in my book....

Turning Bamboo Into a Bicycle
A cycling entrepreneur has turned to the durable plant as a low-tech and affordable option for building bikes
- By Jeff Greenwald
- Smithsonian.com, June 29, 2011, Subscribe
Bicycle designer Craig Calfee likes to talk about the time a film crew tried to stress-test one of his bamboo bike frames. Three men—each weighing about 200 pounds—piled onto one of the two-wheelers in his California showroom, and off they went. The ride didn't last very long.
"The bamboo frame held up just fine," Calfee recalls with a grin. "But the wheels collapsed." For the next test, Calfee supplemented the wheels' metal spokes with bamboo struts: Problem solved.
Calfee, 49, grew up in Cape Cod. He worked as a bike messenger while attending the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, and helped fabricate Olympic-class kayaks in the mid-1980s. Those two experiences synergized into designing and building carbon fiber bicycle frames. In 1991, with the support of three-time champion Greg LeMond, he built the first all-carbon bicycles to compete in the Tour de France.
Dressed in a casual black jacket and aviator shades, Calfee looks more like a biker than a bicycle builder. Today, his workshop in La Selva Beach assembles some of the most advanced carbon fiber racing bicycles in the world. But Calfee also focuses his attention on a lower-tech material: bamboo.
Bamboo: Stronger Than You Might Think
"One afternoon, in 1995, my dog Luna and I started playing with a bamboo stick. I was sure it would break, or splinter—but it didn't. I'd never realized how strong bamboo was. It inspired me, and I built my first bamboo bike as a gimmick for a trade show."
"Where is it now?"
"At my house," Calfee says. "I'm riding it still."
Bamboo is not just strong; it's also durable, attractive and sustainable. In recent years, the widely adaptable plant—actually a fast-growing member of the grass family (Poaceae)—has provided the raw material for everything from fishing poles to bedsheets. Bicycle frames, traditionally made of welded metal tubes, are an innovative use for this plentiful resource (though not exactly new: the first bamboo bike was built in England, in 1894).
Bamboo's secret lies in its woody fiber. Microscopic tubes in the culm (stem), called vascular bundles, give the plant a strength comparable to light steel. Weight-wise (at the same stiffness) it's also similar to steel—though considerably heavier than carbon.
Bamboo bike frames are assembled in two steps. First, the heat-treated poles are measured, cut and mitered together. Then—since welding isn't possible—the joints are wrapped with fiber. Calfee uses hemp, or other natural fibers, soaked in epoxy. When the epoxy sets, the joints are virtually indestructible.
"What a bamboo frame has that all other bicycle frame materials lack," Calfee observes, "is vibration damping. Bamboo wins heads and shoulders above everything else for smoothness and absorbing vibration—both of which contribute to a comfortable ride."
A ride along the coastal bluffs bears this out. The path is packed dirt, rutted by the recent rains. But the ride never feels stiff or jarring. A hundred yards west, the Pacific Ocean froths with whitecaps. I feel at one with the bamboo frame beneath me: a comfortable blend of state-of-the-art and Flintstones technology.
Along with their artisan appeal, the availability of bamboo makes these bikes an ideal cottage industry for the developing world. Calfee is tapping into this potential. His signature bikes, made in California, run upwards of $3,500. But he also directs a project called Bamboosero, based in Ghana and Uganda.
"During the early 1980s I traveled across Africa and had a bit of experience with the continent. Years later, Columbia University's Earth Institute approached me to do a bamboo bike project. Ghana kept coming up as a place that had a lot of village bicycle projects, designed to train local mechanics."
Though Calfee eventually parted ways with the Institute—he prefers smaller operations, while they plan a large-scale bike factory—Bamboosero continues to thrive. The assembled frames, shipped back to California for inspection and hardware, sell for around $700.

ALasse, We use metal sleeves for the bottom bracket shell, and the head tube shell, to press the bearings in. The dropouts are also metal. The main frame construction is bamboo poles. I hope you've had a chance to ride one!

Building a bamboo bike is not too hard. Free, detailed instructions from Bamboo Bike Studio are available at: www.bamboo bikestudio.com . Note that Calfee's Bamboosero project is outsourcing: he uses cheap labor in developing nations to sell bikes at a huge margin in developed nations. Bamboo Bike Project (full disclosure: I worked on that team) helped open (on a strictly volunteer basis) Bamboo Bikes Limited, a Ghanian-owned and operated company which sells bicycles to the people in Ghana, a developing nation with need for cheap, reliable, quality transportation.

I saw a bamboo bicycle in a museum last week, a really lovely piece of work. I think it was form the early 1900s. it is in the Welsh National Museum of Bicycles, Llandindrod Wells.

Kudos to these guys for doing something that is new and innovative to 98% of us! The article points out that the first bamboo bicycle was constructed in 1894, but people around Oakland (and Boston, Portland, and somewhere in Wisconsin, apparently) are lucky to have them. And I suspect the metal tubes are merely a frame upon which the bicycle is constructed. Way to go, guys! You are one of the many reasons people love to call Oakland and the East Bay home.

I really like the ideal but what is the weight limit you know for us heavier people
Posted by monty on October 16,2011 | 05:02 PM
I hate to spoil the worship of this modern bike maker ... but Bamboo bikes were around and doing well in the 1890s.
He has not invented anything or discovered anything new.
Another point - there was a 1890s racer who had a steel bike which weighed 11 lb 11 ounces. This was 1893. It was a fixed gear (saving the weight of brakes, gearing, etc).

great. lol not to spoil the enthusiasm, but I believe I see some metal cylinders inside the bamboo tubes?

What an awesome article! Who knew there were so many people building these things... and how different they all look! Awesome.

My friend Ray Baughn, who last week started a bicycle trip that will never end, would have loved to read about the bamboobike. He was well aware of the English bamboo bikes of the early 1900s.

Are there any step by step instructional dvd or videos dedicated to building bamboo bicycles? If there are, I would be interested in how to acquire a copy.

I knew how strong bamboo was when I visited Hong Kong with my father in the 1970s. I saw construction scaffolding built out of bamboo poles, tied together with jute or other natural fiber--scaffolding rising story after story of a high-rise being built. The workmen scampered from one floor to another. The Chinese can make "anything" out of bamboo. I loved reading about this bamboo bicycle!

Wow, $75 for a fully outfitted bicycle! Awesome. I remember the infancy of carbon frames where joints would fail. Most frames were carbon tubes attached to aluminum lugs (joints at the head, seat, and bottom bracket) and the bonds would just give way. This led to developing one-piece/monocoque frames and technologies such as Trek's OCLV to reduce voids in the structure which could lead to failure, and larger diameter bottom bracket shells that could withstand hundreds of pounds of force with minimal deflection. Currently, carbon frames are still being enhanced with variable sized tubing diameters and stronger drive side chainstays, again, to reduce flexion. Consequently, this has also driven the standards for titanium, aluminum, mmc, steel, and other frames way up as well. You can get an aluminum bicycle that weighs no more than 15 lbs for around $500-600, the technology is that good.

A former Royal Air Force Avro Vulcan bomber returned to the skies this week, for the first time in 14 years. Vulcan XH558B took off from Bruntingthorpe Airfield near Leicester Thursday, and flew for 40 minutes, reports the UK's Defence News... making the plane the only flying Vulcan in the world.
"Everything worked and she flew like a dream," said pilot Al McDicken. "We rose to 2,000ft at 200 knots and tested the undercarriage. Then we increase speed to 250 knots and carried out a few more tests. Before we knew it, it was time to touchdown."
The Cold War bombers first entered service in 1956, and the type was retired in 1984. The only time Vulcans were used in combat, however, was during the Falklands War... when a squadron of the four-engine planes bombed Port Stanley Airfield, denying its use by Argentine invaders.
The restoration of XH558B was performed by the Vulcan to the Sky Trust (VST). "Today the Vulcan rejoins the exclusive club of iconic military aircraft – including the Lancaster and Spitfire -- still able to take to the air and be instantly recognizable," said recently-named VST Chairman Keith Mans. "The challenge now is to keep her flying for many years to come -- so we need to continue raising funds in the same way as before.
"This is an appropriate time to thank all our supporters, the volunteer workforce and the RAF who provided aircraft electrical technicians for many years to work on XH558 as part of their continuation training," added Mans, who is also Chief Executive of the Royal Aeronautical Society. "The project to restore her to flying condition was probably one of the longest and most complicated in UK aviation history."
Vulcan pilot Martin Withers is one of four ex-RAF bomber pilots authorized to fly XH558. He flew the first bombing mission over the Falklands, cratering the runway with a line of 1,000lb bombs. He was on the ground Thursday as the Vulcan -- one of the last to be decommissioned -- flew overhead.
"It was flown into Bruntingthorpe by Dave Thomas -- it was fitting he was in the cockpit for this inaugural flight after 14 years," Withers told Defence News. "It is the first time a jet aircraft of this size has been restored to flying condition and seeing her fly is another very proud moment of my life. She lifted off like a dream, belying her 50 tonne weight. But it was a different story taking off from Ascension in 1982 in hot conditions and with less powerful engines and a full bomb load."
Chief Engineer Andrew Edmondson, a former RAF air frame fitter, said despite the plane's vintage appearance, the airframe has been thoroughly updated to include, among other advancements, GPS. Unnecessary equipment, such as the Vulcan's elaborate bombing system, was stripped from the plane.
"Over the past eight years every rivet, pipe, piece of wiring and switch has been fully checked and upgraded or replaced -- we acquired several hundred tonnes of spares including four extra engines when we acquired her and these will enable her to have a flying life of about a decade," Edmondson said. "Ultimately this time in the air now depends on the availability of spares for each component and the air frame itself."
More test flights will need to be conducted before the Civil Aviation Authority signs off on the group flying the plane at airshows and other events. The group plans to exhibit the plane in 2008, but adds it needs additional donations to keep the plane in the air.

President of the local chapter of World Beard and Moustache Association
Not bad! I just recently had to replace my glasses and I ended up having to get "hipster-look" glasses since they were one of the few frames my insurance really covered. They're actually really sturdy and comfortable, but that tall/wide band on the side really screws with my peripheral vision, especially when I'm trying to check my blind spots when I'm driving.
Do you have that problem, too, or is it something you eventually figure out a way to get around?
I haven't really had that sort of issues, no. It was more like the lenses gave me issues at first (because they change your eyesight, naturally). I looked like I'd be dug in a hole on the ground so it got some time getting used to. But with driving... Nah. I look around a decent amount so it hasn't really given me any troubles.
Don't trust him, Aveline. He'll lure you in with conversations about glasses, you'll chat, giggle, and then the next thing you know you'll be eating fettuccine at an upscale Italian restaurant. Then he'll leave you. Spare your heart the pain, Aveline. PizzaSHARK already broke mine and I'm just trying to look out for you.
I agree though, it's a cute picture.
My new year resolution is only one: grow a beard like the one I wore on the photo above.
Oh, and under this text, me without the epic Santa beard

Nice eyes ^
Wow <3 Korra<3 Giants<3
I am a filmmaker! ✔ me out! I am a filmmaker!
Without. BUT, I think with the right style of glasses, you'd look better in glasses. You have kind of a longer kinda square face, I wouldn't get large rectangular glasses. I think small round glasses with a thicker frame on the top and just a small frame on the bottom half would look great.
I am a filmmaker! ✔ me out! I am a filmmaker!
Hmm. I'll keep that in mind in the future. I have a more serious look usually, but I thought people wouldn't react to well to no smile at all. Also, reflections don't do them any justice.

How does that work?
City living inspires a lot of WTFs (chief among them: What did Daley just say? But that's a question for another time). These explanations of prominent urban curiosities should satisfy your need-to-know urges.
How do drag queens hide their packages?
Two words: duct tape, says Mercedes, a drag queen who performs at Spin (800 W Belmont Ave, 773-327-7711, spin-nightclub.com). "The body has a cavity [that] the testicles can ascend into during cold weather. You push your testicles into that area. The penis can be pushed in there or can be pulled into the anal area and…
…then a piece of duct tape is rammed into there." Those who don't want to mess with duct tape (or the remover sometimes required to get rid of the sticky residue) can conceal their wares using a strong, thong-like contraption called a gaff, available online at drag-queen.com. "There's really no law or rule everyone subscribes to," Mercedes says. "It's really whatever works best."—Christina Couch
How are cars cleared from the express lane during the inbound/outbound switch on the Kennedy?
A sophisticated 44-camera surveillance system and multistep safety procedures ensure a smooth transition of the two reversible median express lanes that ease rush-hour choke holds on 90/94. But how does the Department of Transportation clear motorized laggards before making the switch from inbound to outbound, or vice versa? "We start closing the swing gates at the entrance [upstream] and let the cars flush out on the opposite end [downstream]," explains Stephen Peters, operations and communications center manager for IDOT District 1. Every day at 11:30am, at the end of the morning rush, the series of gates at the express-lane entry ramps at the Kennedy and Edens split (heading inbound toward downtown) close first; each entry ramp has a dozen or so gates set on a delay, which progressively close with the direction of traffic. Then, the same thing happens with the gates at the midway ramp at Sacramento. With all of the entry points closed, says Peters, "through natural attrition, the remaining vehicles will flush out" at the end of the inbound express lanes at Ohio Street. The same thing happens in reverse during the afternoon rush. As an added precaution before the switch, Emergency Traffic Patrol "minutemen" drive the seven-mile stretch, red-and-blue lights flashing atop their white SUVs, on the lookout for any disabled vehicles or confused Mr. Magoo types who may have meandered onto the already-closed lanes. And if there's a stall-out on the road, the car is hauled to a safe location by an IDOT tow truck. —Rod O'Connor
How does the CTA make those voice-of-God service-delay announcements you hear when you're standing on the El platform? Where is that voice coming from?
Judging by the sound quality—scratchy, tinny and often barely audible—you'd think those announcements emanate from an underground lair three miles below the earth's crust. But in fact, the people informing riders of delays broadcast from the CTA Control Center at 120 North Racine Avenue, explains CTA spokeswoman Wanda Taylor. When there's a significant delay due to God knows what—a medical emergency on a train, someone having a tea party on the tracks—a train operator, rail supervisor, the Chicago Fire Department or the Police Department notifies the Control Center via radio or phone. A manager then decides whether to run a train express and from which station. Once that decision's been made, a Control Center employee updates the CTA website and makes the announcement to weary El riders, most of whom are waiting at a station the express train will breeze right past.—Laura Baginski
