German composer Johann Sebastian Bach's work and life will be explored through Saturday during the University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma's six-day Bach Festival in Chickasha, via:
" lecture-concerts,
" performances and
" film.
"We'll be playing the music, but we'll also be talking about how the world is changing," said Sanders Huguenin, USAO academic vice president who will discuss Baroque trade and economics. A Friday lecture-concert will cover scientific advances and tuning, alongside selections from Bach's "The Well-Tempered Clavier."
"Every part of history is interrelated, and music is no exception," said accompanist and festival coordinator Rhenada Finch.
Tying all these elements together is part of the university's effort to present Bach in a new way, according to USAO News Bureau head Michael Bendure: addressing music and ideas, and how they shape the world.
The Bach festival is only the beginning, however, with five "B"-named composers and their times to be featured through spring 2009.
Bach, Beethoven, Brahms, Bartok and Bernstein span the last 300 years, one picking up when the next drops off, to "cover the whole modern era," Huguenin said. "They're not really music festivals; they're interdisciplinary, so we use the music as a lens to see a much broader piece of history and what's going on in the West."
All the events are free. For a complete schedule, visit their site or call 224-3140. "Emily Jerman

So far the GTX780Ti has proven itself to be the weapon of choice if you're looking for the best single GPU performance available. As good as it is out of the box, it flies particularly well once a decent overclock is in place.
However, we're aware that not everyone is comfortable poking around with their £500+ purchase, and that's where a factory overclocked card can really start to shine.
To this end today we're looking at the Gigabyte GTX780Ti GHz edition, a factory overclocked card that comfortably passes the 1GHz barrier at stock, and with the Windforce cooler in place has the potential to go even further with the nVidia GPU Boost 2.0 technology.
By now you're all very familiar with the GK110 GPU, so let's crack on.
Technical Specifications
The two big changes for the GHz Edition are the inclusion of the Gigabyte Windforce cooler, and that big factory overclock that pushes the GPU to 1085MHz out of the box. This isn't far from the best manual overclocks we've obtained so hopefully the results should back up this potential performance.

|Power requirement
|600W (with two 8-pin external power connectors)
Up Close
One of the things we've often commented about the Windforce cooler is that it doesn't appear to be designed for the card that it's applied to, and with the GTX780Ti this problem continues. On a lower end card you can expect some overhang or things not quite lining up properly, but on the most expensive card you can purchase it's a bit much to have everything a little skewiff.
At least the branding is there so anyone glancing into your case is left in no doubt that you have a high end GPU installed. There is plenty of space around the fins to expel air too, so this should be a cool card.
Of course if anyone looks in from above they'll wonder what exactly you have, as for some completely unfathomable reason Gigabyte have seen fit to print the model name upside down. We're sure the CPU is delighted to have something to read, but it's not much use for the rest of us and makes you wonder about the quality control.
The Windforce cooler is a good combination of well braced and yet with plenty of vents too. There shouldn't be any airflow or thermal warping issues here.
At the business ends of the GHz Edition everything is as you would be expecting, with two 8pin power inputs and the regulation nVidia DisplayPort/DVI/HDMI output options.
Test Setup
Gigabyte GTX780Ti GHz Edition
Intel Core i7-3960X @ 4.6GHz
ASUS Rampage IV Extreme
Corsair Dominator Platinum
Corsair AX1200i
Corsair Neutron GTX
Corsair H100i
Windows 7 x64
Clock Speeds
Given that our best GTX780Ti overclocks have been around the 1100/1200 mark, the 1085/1150MHz of the Gigabyte shows that a factory overclock can get very close to a manual one, without any of the faffing about necessary to reach that stage. It's a great choice if you just want to fit and forget.
The Windforce cooler works very well, keeping the card cool and quiet under all scenarios. Very impressive.
Starting as we mean to go on, and the Gigabyte GHz Edition is a match for our manually overclocked GTX780Ti's.
Batman Arkham City
Batman Arkham City is endlessly consistent and without even looking you know that the GHz Edition manages to hit the 61FPs limit happily.
BattleField 4
New to the party, and riddled with bugs at the moment, BattleField 4 certainly looks gorgeous and runs beautifully on the GHz Edition, far ahead of the reference GTX780Ti.
BioShock Infinite
Continuing the trend of being the best 'out of the box' card on the market, the Windforce GHz Edition is spectacular in what is still one of the best games around.
Crysis 3
Crysis 3 takes every ounce of performance it can get and the slightly lower than optimum clock speeds of the GHz Edition lose a couple of frames per second when compared to our other GTX780Ti's. It's still hugely impressive with 60FPS at 1080P.
Far Cry 3
It's always nice to have a surprise and Far Cry 3 provides it today, with the GHz Edition the best performing card we've seen in both the 1080P and 1440P resolutions. Hugely impressive results from the Gigabyte card.
Hitman Absolution
Hitman is always a performance hog and things are no different on the Gigabyte Windforce, with the GHz Edition capable of extremely good scores, just nothing that particularly stands out when compared to other high end offerings.
Another title that has always demanded more clock speed and more performance, Metro 2033 shows the benefits of a manual overclock when compared to a factory one. However, Last Light performs admirably on the GHz Edition, within a single frame of the higher clocked GTX780Ti's.
Last Light
Resident Evil 6
The endless consistency of Resident Evil 6 continues with the Gigabyte card. Capcom might not be able to produce the most enjoyable playing experience any more, but there is no doubt that their optimisation is second to none.
Sleeping Dogs
As we would expect there is very little between the three GTX780Ti's in Sleeping Dogs. Of course the GHz Edition is just a case of sticking it in your rig, so it's easily the hassle free choice.
Tomb Raider
Although not quite up there with the overclock we obtained from our reference nVidia sample, the Gigabyte with its 104/73 FPS in the two resolutions is up there with our manual overclocked Palit version. Impressive stuff.
Unigine Heaven
Unigine is always consistent at extracting exactly the performance relating to the clockspeed and here is no different with the GHz Edition almost perfectly matching it's 'near but not quite the best' clocks. Still well over 60FPS even at [email protected] though.
Unigine Valley
Unigine Valley is similar to Heaven, in that the card with the highest clock speed will always win out, so the Gigabyte ends up about third on our single GPU chart.
3D Mark Vantage
We could hardly have imagined when it was released that one day a card would appear that would happily bust 50000 P Score in Vantage. So whilst it might be the result we anticipated, it doesn't stop our jaw hitting the floor every time. Outstanding performance.
3D Mark 11
In 3D Mark 11 the GHz Edition is almost point for point identical to the Palit GTX780Ti overclock. For a plug and play option the Gigabyte card is outstanding.
3D Mark
Finally 3D Mark with the brutal Fire Strike Extreme test and the 5795 points scored by the GHz Edition is only just behind our manual overclocks with the GTX780Ti.
That you should buy a GTX780Ti if you can afford one is hardly news. After all we want the best possible performance whenever we can get it, and the GTX780Ti is a ridiculously capable card, able to break records wherever it finds them and without any weak spots at all.
It's not just the stock performance that impresses, but the GK110 certainly takes full advantage of an overclock to ramp up the frame rate to new heights. We know that for many people, ourselves included, finances are tight enough that it's easy to become nervous when faced with the prospect of overclocking your latest shiny purchase. No matter how easy it is these days, or how hard it is to break your card, nonetheless it's still a remote possibility and that can lead to people leaving their product at stock and not getting the full benefit of it.
The Gigabyte GTX780Ti GHz Edition perfectly dispenses with all the stress and hassle of that procedure by coming equipped with a very healthy overclock out of the box. It's the best of both worlds. You get the incredible GTX780Ti, and the extra performance that an increase in clock speed can bring, without any of the worries about warranty voiding or even just the time it takes to get a stable overclock. The benchmark scores and framerates perfectly match the clock speed increase too, with the GHz Edition placing just behind our manual overclocks in nearly every single test, and at the top in one or two.
The only problems are cosmetic. The Windforce cooler never seems to fit any PCB it's placed upon, and whilst the GHz Edition is just about the best we've seen it's easy to wonder why they didn't just move it a couple of mm to the left so there wasn't any overhang. Although left and right aren't things that appear to exist in the Gigabyte factory as the backplate has the "GHz Edition" screen print backwards. It's facing the motherboard. To say it's annoying is an understatement. How this passed even a cursory inspection is beyond us. It very nearly ruins an otherwise outstanding product.
Fortunately the many qualities of the Gigabyte GTX780Ti GHz Edition are enough that this irritating flaw is merely that, not deal breaking, just annoying. If you ignore it then you're getting a cool, quiet, high performance card with none of the worries or stress that might come from having to manually overclock it. The performance is staggering, and for a "fit and forget" option it's up there with the best we've ever seen, and for that reason the Gigabyte GTX780Ti GHz Edition is awarded our OC3D Performance Award.
Thanks to Gigabyte for supplying the GTX780Ti GHz Edition for review. Discuss your thoughts in the OC3D Forums.

Throwing a satire or coming up with punch dialogues is quite common for the star heroes. In fact, it is much needed to give that kick to the fans. But sometimes few dialogues might just cross the line and become controversial. Something like that may happen with the new film 'Bhai' starring Nagarjuna.
According to inside reports, it is heard that there is a dialogue from Nag which goes like this "Trend set cheyyadam kaadhu asalu trend create chesindhi nene". This has a direct reference to Pawan Kalyan's dialogue in 'Gabbar Singh' about setting a trend. Sources say director Veerabhadram has got many such dialogues.
If this is true then we have to see how the power star fans will react to it. Apart from that, the film's teaser was launched recently and it got a very good response. Nag will be seen in full masala style and his focus will be on dialogues. Richa Gangopadhyay is the heroine in this film.

There may be some scenarios where Snagit's auto-scroll capture method will not work. Conflicting third party utilities, unsupported browsers or applications, hardware drivers, and security software are some examples that could impede the auto-scroll functionality in Snagit. Below are some steps to try in these situations.
Panoramic Scroll
Snagit 13 introduces a whole new way of capturing content that extends beyond what is visible on your screen - panoramic capture. If the auto-scroll method is failing or producing undesirable results, give the panoramic capture a try.
How To: Panoramic Scrolling Capture
Try a different browser
If you are trying to capture content from a web browser, try viewing the same web page in a different browser. We recommend trying the following four:
- Google Chrome
- Mozilla Firefox
- Internet Explorer
- Microsoft Edge
Each browser may display a specific page in a slightly different way (even though it may appear the same on the screen), so some browsers may yield better results than others for specific pages.
Go Incognito
Most modern browsers have the ability to browse in an "incognito" or "private" window. These alternate browsing modes usually disable all third party extensions and add-ons, which can potentially interfere with Snagits scrolling ability.
- Google Chrome Incognito
- Mozilla Firefox New Private Window
- Internet Explorer In Private Browsing
- Microsoft Edge New InPrivate Window
Check your zoom
Generally, scrolling capture will work best when whatever application is being captures is set to the default 100% zoom level.
Rule out security software
Security software and Identity Protection software is always adapting and changing on a daily basis. Unfortunately, this means that it can sometimes falsely detect Snagit (or any trusted application) as a potential threat and block the software from working properly. Rule out security software as a potential conflict by disabling the security software completely while running a quick test with Snagit.
If the scrolling capture does work when disabling the security software, contact the security software manufacturer for instructions on adding Snagit to the exclusions list (sometimes referred to as the white list).

Magath bemoans 'worst day' as Schalke boss
Schalke manager Felix Magath branded his side's 3-1 home defeat to Borussia Dortmund his "worst day'' in charge of the club, before claiming his foundering players are "insecure".
Dortmund dominated from start to finish and went three up through Shinji Kagawa's brace and Robert Lewandowski's effort.
Klaas Jan Huntelaar's last-minute consolation was more than Schalke deserved as they slipped to a fourth straight loss.
"This is my worst day here at Schalke,'' Magath said. "I have never had four defeats in a row at the start of a season.''
Rather than challenging at the top of the table, like many expected when the likes of Raul, Huntelaar and Christoph Metzelder were signed this summer, Schalke are bottom of the pile and already 12 points off the pace.
"I have never seen a team like this,'' admitted Magath. "The troops are totally insecure. These defeats have left their mark.''
Even Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp was shocked by how poor his side's opponents were, saying: "Even I don't know why Schalke are in such a state.
Klopp was full of praise for his own side's display, though.
"We played a great game from start to finish and totally deserved this win. This is what football is all about.''

AT&T Getting Acer Liquid E700?
Rumor has it that one certain 5-inch Acer phone with full HD display is destined to AT&T, with 1080p FHD resolution and 8MP camera. Well, it could be hours ago announced Acer Liquid E700, which actually features a 5-inch IPS display. Actually, it has to be Acer Liquid E700, because it also features an 8MP camera.
Where things get blurry is the resolution, where the rumor suggests that it will have FHD 1080p resolution while specs available for the Acer Liquid E700 talk of HD display.
The difference is minor, because, there is no official word available as regards resolution yet, and that rumor could be wrong between FHD and HD easily — since it's rumored to be a mid-range device, an HD display might be the thing.
Other cool specs of Liquid E700 include 2GB of RAM and massive 3500 mAh battery.
AT&T Acer Liquid E700 Release Date
The AT&T Acer Liquid E700 won't get release anytime before July, as the company's latest word on Acer Liquid E700's international release is Q3, 2014. If we were to add a slight delay for US market as usual, then late Q3-release date of the Acer Liquid E700 looks likely at AT&T.
AT&T Acer Liquid E700 Specs
- 5″ IPS HD display
- 8MP camera (and 2MP camera at back)
- 1.2 GHz Quad-core processor
- 3500 mAh battery!

15 Strongest Women in Go Battle in Longshi Cup
Friday March 8, 2013
Late in February, the 3rd Huang Longshi Cup kicked off, pitting the five strongest women from China, Japan, and Korea against each other.
Kim Chaeyong gave Korea a quick start, taking out Japan's Osawa Narumi 4P and Ishii Akane 2P, as well as China's Song Ronghui 5P and Chen Yiming 2P. However, 14-year-old Yu Zhiying 2P from China stopped Kim's run, and added two of her own, defeating Japan's Okuda Aya 3P and Korea's Kim Hyelim 2P. That leaves Xie Yiin 6P and Mukai Chiaki 5P for Japan, and Yu Zhiying 2P, Li He 3P and Wang Chenxing 5P (who won 8 games in a row in last year's tournament) for China. Korea may be in the best position with Park Jieun 9P left, as well as Choi Jung 3P and Moon Dowon 2P
Round 2 begins on April 6th. The Huang Longshi Cup is an international women's win-and-continue team tournament between China, Japan and Korea named after Huang Longshi – a famous Chinese go genius from the Qing dynasty.

Portland Kids Best Mexico in Inter-School Tourney
Thursday March 7, 2013
Youngsters from Portland, OR, took on kids from Mexico City, in a friendly match on KGS, held on Feb. 24th. The Portland group, organized by Peter Freedman, played two rounds, and won 9-5, with one tie. The Mexican group are students of Siddhartha Avila's, at the Pipiolo elementary school, and have competed with the Portland kids before, who Avila says are "much stronger this year". The kids video conferenced with each other before the matches, and were able to meet their opponents by Skype as well as across the board. "Some of the kids we played plan on visiting Portland before going on the Go Congress in Tacoma this summer," reports Freedman. "They and their parents will homestay with our go families, spending a week playing go, soccer, and sightseeing with us. Our families are really revved about this idea." Winner's Report: Portland 2 game winners: McCaleb Nessler-Cass 16k, Jordan Reed 24k, Hikaru ?k; 1 game winners: Wilson ?k, Ellis Zehnder 23k; Mexico 2 game winners: Samuel 17k; 1 game winners: David Martinez 16k, Sebastian 20k, Yatzitl 24k.

Park Junghwan Reclaims Nongshim Cup for Korea
Thursday March 7, 2013
Park Junghwan continued Korea's dominance of the Nongshim Cup, defeating Jiang Weijie 9P to take home the 11th Korean win in the Cup's 14-year history.
Park was the new anchor for Korea in the team tournament, handpicked by Lee Changho himself. Jiang was a newcomer to the tournament as well.
The final round kicked off on February 26th, with Choi Cheolhan breaking his personal 8-game losing streak against Chen Yaoye. However, he lost his next game to China's Xie He 9P.
Xie's record at the Nongshim Cup is 2nd best in the cup's history, and got him promoted to 9P in the first place. That left Park to face both Xie and Jiang, but he was able to pull out victories against them both and bring the Cup back to Korea after China won the tournament last year.

16-Year-Old Fan Tingyu Becomes Youngest Ing Cup Winner
Thursday March 7, 2013
Sixteen-year-old Fan Tingyu 3P defeated Park Junghwan 9P on March 6th to become the youngest winner of the prestigious Ing Cup.
The Ing Cup, go's longest-running international tournament, has been called the Go Olympics, since it held once every four years.
The semifinals, which took place last September, set up a showdown between Park and Fan in Singapore, where the first two games of the final were held. They left Singapore with one win apiece in the best-of-5 final.
The three final games were set for Shanghai, starting on March 4th, with Park hot off his win at the Nongshim Cup. Fan took Game Three, and the pressure was on Park, though he was playing as White, to stay in the match.
Game Four was a thriller, with Park, playing white, making a lot of territory early, with a number of weaker groups. Park ended up sacrificing two of the groups to reinforce the center. However, Fan played brilliantly to take away the center territory, with ko battles throughout the board. By the time it was all settled, black was ahead by 3 points and Fan had captured the title.
By winning the Cup, Fan not only becomes the youngest player to win the Ing Cup, but if he's promoted to 9P, as is customary after winning an international title, he will be the youngest player to do that as well, breaking Chen Yaoye 9P's record.
Fan took home about $400,000 US for his efforts.

Go Doc Launching New Fundraiser to Finish Film
Thursday March 7, 2013
Almost exactly a year since co-directors Will Lockhart and Cole Pruitt decided to shoot a documentary on the game of go — The Surrounding Game — the team is moving into the next phase of the project. "We have come a very long way and the filming itself is almost complete, but we still have a long way to go to get to a finished film" says Lockhart. The team filmed at the 2012 U.S. Go Congress and AGA Pro Tournament last summer, traveled to China and Korea in the fall, and spent the winter organizing their extensive footage. "We're now launching a second fundraiser to raise money for post-production, including hiring a full-time editor, commissioning original music, and digital mastering of the film," says Lockhart. A new fundraising goal of $30,000 has been set to reach a final cut of the film.
The new fundraiser begins this Saturday, March 9 and will operate via The Surrounding Game's brand new website, which also features a recently-released trailer for the film. "We are adding Chinese- and Korean-language options for the site to make the project and fundraiser accessible to an international audience, and we'll be offering a ton of new rewards which weren't available the first time around," says Pruitt. We want "The Surrounding Game" to be as well-produced as it can possibly be, and we hope you'll share the project with your friends and family and help us reach our goal." He also noted that last year "we passed our initial goal quickly thanks to a lot of support from EJ readers."

Traveling Board: U.S.-Cuba Friendship Match "A Rare Opportunity"
Wednesday March 6, 2013
While the U.S. team prevailed in a February 16-17 friendship match in Cuba, "the true victory was in realizing this rare opportunity for players from the two countries to come together," said trip organizer Bob Gilman.
A team of 11 U.S. players competed with Cubans at the Academia Cubana de Go in Havana. The US players ranged from 5 dan to 24 kyu, and the Cubans had a similarly wide range. The event drew coverage on Cuban sports TV.
"They are just a wonderful group of people and their passion for the game came through every minute we were with them," said AGA President Andy Okun. "When the barriers between our countries are gone, the North American go community will be that much richer."
"All the players I played showed intense fighting spirit," Okun added, "and I think they will benefit a lot once they have easier access to resources and opponents." He also noted that "The rum they served out to celebrate the end of each day's play was awfully good."
Anthony Chen 5d agreed that "If the Cubans get to play go on the internet, their
strength will improve dramatically. Since their travel is limited, they don't play against many different styles of players. It was good that our US team was able to provide a measuring stick for them, but if they can play regularly on the internet, I am sure they will raise their level rapidly."
Catherine and Royce Chen each brought donations for the Academia: Catherine 10 new copies of Cho Hun-Hyeon's Lessons on Go Techniques Vol. 2, a book she had translated, and Royce 50 used go books he had collected. The Cubans presented the US players with gifts of Cuban handicrafts.

IT BECAME fairly obvious yesterday that the reduction in the number of local authorities in Wales is still very high on the Welsh Government agenda
Local Government Minister Lesley Griffiths told council representatives in no uncertain terms at their annual conference in Llandudno that mergers first mooted in the Williams' report had to happen.
Taken alongside the comments made by First Minister Carwyn Jones almost a week ago about his loss of confidence in the ability of some authorities to improve their education services, it now seems more likely than ever that mergers will follow.
This is despite the issue having gone very quiet since the Williams' report first suggested reducing the number of councils in Wales.
We don't think there is anybody in Wales who supports the status quo. Having 22 local authorities in Wales is just no longer sustainable. Quite simply some of them are just too small to deliver the services needed.
The problem is that in the current climate, where all councils are desperately trying to make savings, there still seems to be little or no appetite among their number, to engage with the mergers proposed in the report.
We suspect that the only way this whole project is likely to move forward will be with direct Welsh Government intervention.
If the Welsh Government and Carwyn Jones want this to happen they are going to have to make it happen.

Whitecaps' DeMerit out with torn Achilles
VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- Vancouver Whitecaps captain Jay DeMerit has ruptured his Achilles tendon and will be out indefinitely.
The center back played the first seven minutes of Vancouver's season-opening 1-0 victory over Toronto FC on Saturday before leaving with the injury.
The team initially said he had a strained left calf. Coach Martin Rennie confirmed the more serious injury after practice.
DeMerit posted a picture of himself in the hospital on Twitter. He said he was "super bummed out" but staying positive.
The 33-year-old DeMerit is from Green Bay, Wis., and in his third year with the Whitecaps. He was coming off an All-Star season in 2012. He started 31 of Vancouver's 32 and helped lead the club to its first appearance in the MLS Cup playoffs.

Gloucestershire County Council Conservatives has announced each councillor will have £20,000 to fight potholes in their local areas, doubling the amount of last year's allocation.

By making decisions at a local level it will help us target the repairs that really matter to local people.'

After arriving in Eureka around 8pm after a long day driving from Yosemite NP we pulled into the Carter Inn just by chance and boy am I glad we did! The staff upon arrival were fantastic, they settled us on the couch with a glass of wine and some hors d'oeuvres as they checked us in (they even knocked $80 off the room!). We ate in the restaurant which was lovely, although the portions were a little on the small side (fine for me but my boyfriend was looking for more), but the wine list made up for it. After filling our bellies we floated to our room taking with us the delicious complimentary tea and cookies. The room was well appointed, bed and pillows divine and the shower was great. It was such a nice evening that we ended up staying another night! Would definately recommend the Carter House Inn to anyone looking for a luxurious little respite.

If Dr. Seuss were a Technical Writer...
Here's an easy game to play.
Here's an easy thing to say.
If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port,
And the bus is interrupted as a very last resort.
And the address of the memory makes your floppy disk abort,
Then the socket packet pocket has an error to report!
If your cursor finds a menu item followed by a dash,
And the double-clicking icon puts your window in the trash,
And your data is corrupted 'cause the index doesn't hash.
Then your siutation's hopeless and your system's gonna crash!
You can't say this?
What a shame, sir!
We'll find you
another game, sir!
If the label on the cable on the table at your house
Says the network is connected to the button on the mouse,
But your packets want to tunnel on another protocol,
That's repeatedly rejected by the printer down the hall,
And your screen is all distorted by the side affects of Gauss,
So your icons in the windows are so wavy as a souse,
Then you may as well reboot and go out with a bang,
'Cause as sure as I'm a poet, the sucker's gonna hang!
When the copy of your floppy's getting sloppy on the disk,
And the microcode instructions cause unnecessary RISC.
Then you have to flash your memory and you'll want to RAM your ROM.
Quickly turn off the computer and be sure to tell your mom!

Westerly voters may be asked to OK $3.5 million for roads
Westerly voters may be asked to OK $3.5 million for roads
WESTERLY — The Town Council is considering asking voters to approve borrowing up to $3.5 million to be used to address the town's deteriorating roads.
The request, if approved by the Town Council, would appear as a question on the November ballot, asking voters to approve a bonding initiative for money to be spent on paving, drainage, and sidewalk improvements.
Town Engineer Paul LeBlanc told the council that the town would have to spend $1.2 million a year on paving each year just to keep the roads in their current condition. There is just $500,000 in the current municipal budget for road paving.
"As much money as you can give, we can spend because that's how bad the infrastructure is," LeBlanc said.
Town Manager Michelle Buck reminded the council that the Board of Finance had recommended borrowing through a bond as a means to take pressure off the annual municipal budget.
"These items should be borrowed, the operations budget cannot bear the request and needs of the town," Buck said.
Drainage problems are a near constant topic of discussions for Buck and LeBlanc.
"The complaints and the drainage issues do not stop. We, on daily or weekly basis, have to make a determination as to priorities, what we have to address and what we can put off to another year," Buck said.
The problems came in to sharp relief when a sinkhole developed in front of the post office on High Street during heavy rains on July 4. LeBlanc said he was concerned that a temporary repair made to a decades-old culvert that ruptured is not adequate to handle even small storms. A permanent, proper repair could cost as much as $1 million, LeBlanc said.
Councilor Jack Carson said he was concerned that other drainage pipes in the downtown area could be compromised as well. LeBlanc acknowledged Carson's concern but said the systems at lowest elevation, such as the one on High Street, are likely to fail first because they undergo more intense system pressure than the others.
Councilor Christopher Duhamel inspected downtown streets during the July 4 storm and found that stormwater flowed "like a river running down the street" in areas with older drainage systems, but that areas with more modern systems drained properly.
Councilors made it clear that the condition of the town's roads is on the minds of residents. "A lot of people are upset," Duhamel said.
Councilor Caswell Cooke Jr, said residents are "screaming on a daily basis about the roads," demanding to know when routine paving will occur.
LeBlanc said about $600,000 worth of paving will work will go out to bid later this month or in August. The funds to be used are a combination of money from the 2013 budget that was set aside because of concerns that other road projects might go over budget, and the $500,000 in the current budget. John Street, which is in particularly bad shape, will be repaved this year, LeBlanc said.
In addition to the paving work, LeBlanc said $6.5 million worth of other road and drainage projects will go out to bid in the new fiscal year that started July 1. Those projects include completion of streetscape improvements on Bay Street and work on Cross Street.
After the council approved deferring the 2013 paving projects, councilors asked that this year's projects be put out to bid early in the year so work could take place in the spring to assure residents it would be done and to avoid possible weather problems that can cause additional deferrals in the fall. The early bidding did not happen, a fact that did not escape notice.
"As of today no streets in our town are being paved, so yes, I'm upset. We said go out and hire someone else, farm it out, but pave the streets, we said pave the streets," Cooke said.
LeBlanc said he shared the council's frustration and noted he had requested additional personnel, in December, to add to a three-person staff, but had not received the help.
"This is a year of $6 million to $7 million in projects being overseen by a staff of three people. It's too much," LeBlanc said.
LeBlanc started his position in November 2012, a few weeks after Superstorm Sandy. He said he inherited several projects with design problems and other deficiencies.
For instance, he said, the town was at risk of losing $2 million in federal funds for the Canal Street/White Rock Road reconstruction project because his predecessors failed to obtain a title opinion — legal documentation of the granting of easements for road and drainage work that encroaches on private property.
LeBlanc said his staff expended 300 hours obtaining the documentation, which has delayed reimbursement from the federal government.
Duhamel and Cooke pushed for an increase in the use of consulting engineers and other firms outside of town government, freeing LeBlanc to serve in more of a clerk of the works capacity, overseeing and monitoring projects.
Councilor Dianna Serra praised LeBlanc for his attention to detail and said the council believes the engineering department is understaffed.
Buck also defended LeBlanc.
"In the short time I've been working with him, I'm so very impressed. I rely on him on a daily basis, he's very professional and dedicated," Buck said.
She also reassured the council that road projects on the immediate radar will be accomplished. "We hear your message loud and clear and we'll get it done," she said.

Contribution caps cause for concern for SMSFs
Page 1 of 2
Glenn Freeman is a senior editor at Morningstar.
High net wealth individuals, particularly those with high super balances, higher income earners and workers aged 55 to 65 years of age are among the key groups to lose out in the Federal Budget 2016.
Handed down by Federal Treasurer Scott Morrison on Tuesday night, the Budget proposes limiting tax-free superannuation accounts to $1.6 million--something the Treasurer suggests will impact only 1 per cent of super fund members.
It would also reduce the cap on concessional super contributions to $25,000 per annum, from $30,000 currently.
The SMSF Association has criticised this decision, with CEO Andrea Slattery describing it as "a backward step that will severely reduce the ability of people to save adequately for retirement".
Responding to what she says are the most significant changes to the superannuation system since 2007, Slattery reiterated the association's view that adequate concessional contribution caps are vital to allow people to save for "a secure and dignified retirement".
"It is especially important that people approaching retirement have adequate contribution caps to maximise contributions to superannuation when they are most likely to have the financial resources to do so."
Speaking to Morningstar.com.au, Jordan George, senior manager of technical and policy at the SMSF Association, refers to a study the association has conducted alongside actuarial firm Rice Warner.
"This data shows that people are overwhelmingly making large catch-up contributions to superannuation, from age 55 onwards--both males and females ... people overwhelmingly make large contributions later in their careers, rather than making them steadily all throughout their career."
In an announcement issued late last night, Slattery said: "We believe that changes to super should have been part of a broader, coherent review of the tax system, rather than singling out one form of savings for changes."
On the upside, she says the government does deserve plaudits for its decisions to remove the 10 per cent rule for personal deductible contributions and the work test for contributions made by people aged between 64 and 75.
"These decisions will reduce the complexity for fund members and employers alike, which is a positive, reducing red tape for members and employers alike."
She says the SMSF Association is also "pleased the government is going to maintain a more equitable treatment for low income earners by introducing the Low Income Superannuation Tax Offset to replace the Low Income Superannuation Contribution".
Louise Biti, director of Strategy Steps, a financial planning research and consulting business, believes an unintended consequence of the Budget could see high net worth investors seek alternative non-superannuation strategies and structures to provide tax-effective wealth accumulation.

Earlier in the day, we wrote* in our post "Can the Tampa Bay Lightning Be Stopped," that if the Flyers were going to beat the high-powered Tampa Bay Lightning this evening in South Philadelphia, they'd have get a big-time offensive effort out of Tom Sestito. That's exactly what transpired in the Flyers 2-1 win over the Lightning.
After the breakout, two-goal performance, Sestito told Coatesy that "I've got one move."
His one move worked twice.
He hadn't scored a goal in the NHL since waaaay back on December 23 of 2010. His career-high for goals in a season? Two.
Sestito left the fighting up to his pal Zac Rinaldo who absolutely destroyed poor B.J. Crombeen.
A solid effort from the Flyers on the defensive end too, minus one awful play from Bruno Gervais that cost Bryz a shutout.
Brzy was on his game all night, finishing with 21 saves.
But this was Sestito's night to be the star. Just look at that skill!
*of course we didn't write that, dummy.

The following editorial appears on Bloomberg View:
'Nobody is listening to your telephone calls," President Obama said Friday. Honestly, we didn't think anyone was. If he intended to be reassuring, his words had the opposite effect. The president's remarks in defense of the government's vast electronic surveillance programs help explain why U.S. citizens - and, not incidentally, U.S. businesses - should be so unnerved by them.
The first point is that we don't necessarily know what is happening. According to The Washington Post and the Guardian newspapers, the National Security Agency and the FBI are sifting through vast amounts of data - including audio, video, email, photographs, documents and much else - produced by nine U.S. technology companies. The program, code-named Prism, allegedly spied on content being shared by foreign users.
Such programs - in addition to Prism there is the vast effort, also revealed this week, to collect phone data from Verizon Communications customers - naturally raise questions about the proper balance between privacy and security. "When you actually look at the details, then I think we've struck the right balance," the president said Friday. OK, fine: So how about some details?
Congress - where fear of being labeled weak on terrorism affords the security-industrial complex a supine majority - must rediscover its national-security prerogatives. It shouldn't be too hard. The 2011 vote to extend provisions of the Patriot Act produced 153 nays in the House and 23 in the Senate. That's a skeptical base on which to build effective oversight.
Sens. Ron Wyden of Oregon and Mark Udall of Colorado, both Democrats, offered an amendment to the 2011 reauthorization that would have compelled the attorney general to "publicly disclose the United States Government's official interpretation of the USA Patriot Act."
Understanding how the government interprets the law is prerequisite for this debate. Let's get that on the record, then see where the discussion leads.
At the very least, the public debate should be routed through the intelligence committees in the House and Senate. It is no longer enough for them to give vague blessings to government spying. They should issue annual, unclassified reports certifying that they have reviewed secret government programs and they endorse their basis in law and their validity on national-security grounds. The reports should include minority dissents. The public needn't see secrets; we do need to know more about how Congress is scrutinizing the process.
Aside from concerns about privacy and government power, Prism is also cause for economic anxiety. The companies reportedly compliant with the NSA's snooping look like a Who's Who of 21st-century American innovation: Apple, Yahoo, Google, Microsoft and Facebook all joined the party.
The companies involved have been offering carefully worded denials, but even hints of acquiescence in this program should be cause for deep worry from a business perspective. Foreign governments, already inclined to protect homegrown technology businesses, might find such surveillance a convenient excuse to increase regulatory or antitrust pressure on Silicon Valley hegemons. More legitimately, they might also want to protect their citizens and businesses from foreign espionage.
And they'd be right to: Spying on foreign citizens is the explicit justification offered for this program by U.S. Director of National Intelligence James Clapper. If these companies are soon subjected to far more onerous privacy provisions in foreign countries, they shouldn't be surprised in the least. There's some indication the program may have violated European Union privacy rules.
International users of such services might be at ease with sharing their photos and videos with family and friends. Sharing them with Uncle Sam, however, is a different matter entirely. That's not to say that these revelations alone will lead to a global revolt against Facebook. But combined with Facebook's penchant for violating user privacy, some people may start looking at competing services that do a better job of protecting their data - and that aren't known to be bugged by the U.S. intelligence community.
It may not be realistic to have expected these companies to decline the government's invitation to help it spy (although Apple appears to have resisted for several years). But they had to have known the potential for controversy.
In a 2009 debate on Patriot Act provisions, Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., predicted the program would run into trouble. "Someday the cloak will be lifted, and future generations will ask whether our actions today meet the test of a democratic society - transparency, accountability and fidelity to the rule of law and our Constitution," he said.
Durbin was prescient, but his timing was off. His questions aren't for future generations - they're for us.

Festo, despite the name, isn't building party robots and isn't an unusually jovial Master of the Universe. Instead it's a seemingly innocuous lab dedicated to building robot arms to put even more people in Detroit out of work and other stuff like that, and they've invented a robotic arm that they claim is based off of an elephant's trunk, if an elephant's trunk happened to have an enormous freaking claw and look precisely like the main weapon of major foe/once-and-future-stepdad of Spider-Man, Doctor Octopus. But, as Levar Burton would say, don't take our word for it! Here's the video:
Sure, guys, that's totally based on an elephant's trunk, and not from an overwhelming desire to have the greatest Comicon outfit ever. You know, just like the guys at Vecna Technologies is absolutely, positively, totally named after some obscure Czech word that nobody has ever heard of, instead of, oh, we don't know, a major villain in an incredibly popular D&D campaign setting. We totally believe you!

Hello to whoever looks at this! (This message is aimed at FDGA members, but anyone may feel free to chime in at any time)
I am trying to use the DGS site instead of email just to see how it works. Posting feedback/suggestions/hate mail/etc on this site will let me know if this is going to be a reliable medium for communication.
I have decided to spearhead the DG beginner's clinic, but will probably need some help. We can use this space to start the conversation, or we can switch back to email if we find that nobody uses this space.
I am looking at May 26 or 27 for the event. Birch should be open and playing well and nothing is on the ADGA calender for that weekend. Does anyone know if there is a parks and rec calender or a Birch Hill event calender online somewhere? If not, we can get a hold of Ricky and see if anything is on the Birch Hill Books.
Other things that can be thought of and submitted here are: who is willing to help, what aspects of the game should be covered (driving, putting, and etiquette are my big three, but I'm open to more), if the 26th or 27th does not work, what are other dates, and any other questions/comments/or concerns.
Ok...I just wanted to get the ball rolling. I am, looking forward to this season!
Rock on,
Trying to set up a course in Sitka Alaska. Does this site provide any funds to help communities like Sitka start one up? City has approved an area behind our highschool but we need baskets. email me at Alex99_@hotmail if you have any information to help us in Sitka AK

Moffat E23M3 Details
The Moffat E23M3 electric convection oven is designed for the foodservice business requiring cooking equipment with a small footprint. When you have limited counter space, but you need an oven that can handle a heavy workload and cook a variety of menu items with consistency, the Moffat E23M3 convection oven will achieve the results you want. From muffins to chicken breasts, you will be able to produce properly cooked menu items to the satisfaction of your customers, while being efficient with both space, time and energy. The external cabinet of the E23M3 is only 24 inches wide, so it takes up very little counter space. Plus the top and sides are durable stainless steel so it can stand up to the activity of a busy foodservice kitchen. Even the drop down hinged front glass door has a stainless steel frame and heavy-duty hinges.
As for its cooking capacity, the one-piece porcelain, enameled internal compartment of the E23M3 oven can hold up to 3 half-size sheet pans at one time, with just over 3 inches of space between the included chrome-plated wire racks. The Moffat E23M3 oven features the TurboFan bi-directional reversing fan system, which provides the incredibly even heat during the cooking process, at temperatures ranging between 150-500 degrees Fahrenheit controlled by a mechanical thermostat and a variable 60-minute timer. With the E23ME, you know that your menu items will cook properly, and not just on one side or on the outside and not on the inside. Consistent results mean you don't have to worry that your customers will receive less than the best dishes your kitchen can create. For added safety, the door is made with a 2-glass-pane Safe-Touch configuration for very low energy and heat transfer. Fewer potential kitchen injuries due to burns means more productivity for your staff.
The Moffat E23M3 comes with 3 inch stainless steel feet, raising the oven to just under 24 inches high. The unit does require 1 inch clearance at the back and on the left and right sides, extending its footprint to a still narrow 26 inches. Despite its compact configuration, the E23M3 will cook all of your food products to your exacting standards.
Note: For installation, the Moffat E23M3 electric convection oven comes fitted with a NEMA 6-15P cordset. The oven has a 208V, 50/60Hz, 1-phase electrical configuration.

Anyone remember Charlie Chan's in the Dayton Mall?
Junior Burger
2008/06/12 23:47:17
There used to be a food court restaurant called Charlie Chan's in the Dayton Mall upstairs and in the corner. Does anyone remember it? They had the best fried chicken on a stick. What I would give to eat one of those again! I wonder if a recipe exists for it somewhere.

RE: Anyone remember Charlie Chan's in the Dayton Mall?
2008/09/02 12:47:18
YES YES YES!!! I've looked for info for years on that place, but found nothing. I used to love their Chicken on a Stick - I think I only had it a handful of times. There was a Chick-fil-a also in the Dayton Mall mezzanine. Didn't they have chicken on a stick too - or did they pick it up after Charlie Chan's closed? They are still in business around the country, but do not have chicken on a stick.
I thought Charlie Chan's was a chain - but it seems only you and I have mentioned it on the internet & both of us had it at the Dayton Mall. I spent my summers in Dayton with my aunt & the Dayton Mall was my paradise growing up!!! The mezzanine with all the cool restaurants we didn't have in Michigan, Camelot Music store that was SOOOO much better than any stores in Michigan, the pet stores, the glass elevator........what happy childhood memories.
How do you remember the chicken on a stick tasting? It seems to me that the first time I tried Burger King's chicken tenders, they reminded me of Charlie Chan's. The chicken on a stick was crisper and less floury, but the taste in my remembrance was similar.

I have lived in Dayton since 1995. When was this restaurant in operation? I don't remember it at all.

Was just thinking of Charlie Chan's today!
I remember it well. Upper level, food court. I was working across the street from the Dayton Mall, and would go there on my lunch break. I loved the chicken-on-a-stick, on a bed of fried rice! Delicious, and probably horribly awful for me.
I remember Charlie Chan as being one of those mall-food chain restaurants, but the only other one I ever saw was in Los Angeles, sometime in the late 1980's.

We had a Charlie Chan's here in the Lycoming Mall in Muncy, PA, back in the 80s.
I had a thread up asking if anyone remembered it, but there was very little response.
You just can't seem to find anything about this chain up on the Internet. Hopefully someday someone has something to put up to rekindle the memories of this yummy chain.
And yes, their chicken on a stick may be unmatched by anything to this day!
RE: Anyone remember Charlie Chan's in the Dayton Mall?
2008/10/20 11:50:13
We've still got a couple here in western WA (Tacoma area) but I'm not sure it's the same Charlie Chan's. Moderately priced food, good karaoke, strong and generous drinks.

Hmm, I have dim memories of eating at Charlie Chans in various malls. Fast food Chinese places were still rare so this was a nice change of pace.

RE: Anyone remember Charlie Chan's in the Dayton Mall?
2009/05/16 04:11:57
Thanks everyone for the replies. If I remember correctly too the signs were in red and yellow.
45013, I think the Charlie Chan's was gone from the Dayton Mall by 1995. I seem to remember my last memory of the place was probably the early 1990s.
I remember the chicken on the stick probably being a cornstarch based batter with some nice pepper. The chicken and batter had a yellowish tinge...maybe turmeric?
From my early memories of the Dayton Mall from the early 80s, they had an ice cream store (the logo had a face-like thing) across from Shillito-Rikes, some kind of family restaurant kind of on the right of the former main entrance. The mid 80s had a Cassano's and Burger and Works Co upstairs. I really miss the popcorn and corndog stores that used to be at the Sears (I think it was the Sears end) end of the mall.

Would anyone happen to have any pictures of Charlie Chan's, or know of any online?
Would be awesome to see our memories of this great chain!
I was able to find from Google (St. Petersburg Times, Dec. 27, 1980) tho!

We had a Charlie Chan's in our of our local shopping malls in the suburbs of Kansas City during the 1980's. They later changed their name to Chan Chan's (either because the chain went out of business or there was some copyright issue with using the Charlie Chan name).

Wow, when I used to visit Cincinnati when I was really young I remember there was one in a nearby mall, but I honestly couldn't tell you which mall or what I ate there. I couldn't have been more than eight years old, but the name definitely rings a bell.
That would've been in the early 1980s.

I periodically think about this place and why they closed. The chicken on a stick and their waffle fries
were sooooo good! It was a little restaurant in Northland Mall in Southfield, MI. The restaurant had yellow
benches and they were not that big. I would love to get the recipe.

Hi There! I just joined this group, and saw you posted inquiring about Charlie Chan restaurants. I worked at Charlie Chan located in Overland Park at the Metcalf South Mall, from 1981 - 1983. It was a great job for a high school kid, and the food was awesome. I have lots of pictures of this location, as well as photos of a model replica I made of the restaurant a few years ago. If interested, feel free to join my Facebook group "We Worked At Charlie Chan's at Metcalf South", where you can see pictures of everything, including the employee manual. The owners of that franchise location, Dick and Gay Williams, are members of the group and have given lots of interesting insight into the operation of the short-lived business: the good, the bad and the ugly.

FOUR intrepid explorers are set to arrive in Hungarian capital Budapest today after driving 1,026 miles in a £500 car.
Richard Ash, Philip Donigan, Steve Evins and Brendan Cross of Witney telecoms company STL Communications joined the 2013 Gamma Ball Rally.
It raises money for Ghana children's charity Action Through Enterprise and East Cheshire Hospice.
They set off from the Newbury office of communications company Gamma on Wednesday.
Company MD Mr Cross, 48, from Sutton, near Eynsham said: "Some may say that spending three days stuck in a car is a good team-building exercise and we'll have some stories to tell when we get back, but it's all for a good cause."
On the way to Hungary, the 23 cars took part in racing challenges at Brands Hatch and the Nürburgring race track.
Sales director Mr Donigan, 37, from Milton-under-Wychwood, said: "The biggest concern is whether this £500 car will make it to Budapest.
"Being so old it doesn't have mod cons like sat nav, hands-free or iPod connections, so we're back to maps and community singing."

Insider's guide to Uluru
We aren't prepared for a carpet of multi-hued green scattered across the glowing red earth around Uluru. The wettest September on record has made the desert bloom and we're among the lucky ones to see a profusion of wildflowers this month, some of which the rangers at Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park say they have never seen.
Our luck holds as we head out to see the monolith at sunrise with Anangu Tours. The air is fresh, the sky cloudy and our brains fuzzy. We're cheered by an early-morning cuppa at the viewing car park, part of a A$21 million (NZ$27.6m) area opened a year ago, and the prospect of meeting our Aboriginal guide after we've watched the changing of the colours on the rock.
This award-winning tour company is owned and run by the traditional owners of Uluru and the profits are fed back into the shareholder communities. Anangu means ''we people'' or ''we the people''. Our driver and guide, Sherry Bell, tells us on the pre-dawn ride to the rock that the word has come to mean ''we the black people''. She takes us from the sunrise viewing to meet our Pitjantjatjara-speaking guide, Wayne Curtis. He lives in the Mutitjulu community at the foot of Uluru in the old Ayers Rock Resort. About 150 or so Anangu have lived here since their country was handed back to them exactly 25 years ago. The event will be celebrated on Tuesday at Uluru's first cultural festival.
Uluru and nearby Kata Tjuta have profound cultural and spiritual significance for the Anangu. It is thought that Aboriginal people have inhabited the red centre of Australia for 24,000 years and the Anangu willingly share those creation stories that can be heard by those who are uninitiated.
After breakfast at the park's cultural centre, we follow Curtis and his interpreter-guide on the Liru Walk. We pad over flat, packed sandy earth through tall scrubby mulga trees to a shelter where Curtis shows us men's and women's tools, explains their use and demonstrates how to light a fire with dung and make kiti, the sticky resin used to bind spear heads to shafts. We finish with the tragic story of Lungkata, the blue tongue lizard man, who still lies at the base of Uluru.
In the afternoon, we join a dot painting workshop, another session run by Anangu Tours, with Gloria Moneymoon. A painting is your own story, she explains, and you can tell it any way you wish.
A group of adults and children spend 45 minutes dabbing wobbly, misshapen dots from small bottles and paint-dipped skewers, learning the hard way that it takes great dexterity and precision to tell a dot-painted tale. Moneymoon, on the other hand, unfalteringly produces a small, sublime canvas about the Seven Sisters.
A tour to Kata Tjuta with another, new company, SEIT Outback Australia, offers a different, more geological perspective. Our walk into Walpa Gorge is a windy one, with low clouds hovering around the monumental boulders of conglomerate rock. The cloud and rain continue through the day. We front up to our third tour with Anangu, the Kuniya Sunset Tour, and drive straight into a storm so powerful we can't see Uluru until we're a few hundred metres away.
The charming Bell, our guide, makes an executive decision to abort the official tour and refund our money, then offers to drive us around Uluru so we can see the waterfalls cascading down the face of the sandstone rock. Dozens of streams are plummeting to the ground, some dropping into a series of water pools like terraces. An hour later, the storm clears and in a last act of largesse, Bell takes us to see the tranquil Mutitjulu waterhole. Frogs that sound like clapping sticks serenade us as the afternoon sun glints on the water.
Anangu Tours runs a range of tours including sunrise at the rock (adult: A$139 (NZ$183), child: A$93 (NZ$122)) and a dot-painting workshop (adult: A$87 (NZ$114), child: A$61 (NZ$80)); see ananguwaai.com.au. SEIT Outback Australia runs private and small-group tours, including a sunrise five-hour tour of Kata Tjuta (adult: A$120 (NZ$158), child: A$95 (NZ$125)); see www.seitoutbackaustralia.com.au.
By foot
The original and the best way to see the monolith, in my view, is by walking around its base (and not climbing it, which the traditional owners ask visitors not to do). It's an easy 9.4 kilometres and full of wonder; suddenly it's not just a rock but a complex landform of fissures and waterfalls, Aboriginal paintings and caves, surrounded by a surprising diversity of distinctive flora and fauna. There are two shorter walks: Mala Walk (two kilometres) and Mutitjulu Walk, to a permanent waterhole (one kilometre). And after you've paid the three-day A$25 (NZ$33) park entrance fee, this is the cheapest way to see the rock.
By camel
By the mid-19th century there were about 20,000 camels working across three-quarters of the continent; today they're wild and feral, or saddled up for tourists. Uluru Camel Tours, owned by Anangu Tours, has a 45-minute camel express ride (A$65 (NZ$85) a person, under-fives not permitted) and hour-long rides to watch the sunrise and sunset (A$99 (NZ$130)).
By plane
Prices have tumbled since Virgin Blue began direct flights from Sydney in August. It costs about A$189 (NZ$248) for the non-stop flight (3hr 30min); Melbourne passengers pay A$249 (NZ$327)and connect in Sydney. Qantas also flies non-stop from Sydney for about A$229 (NZ$301); Melbourne passengers pay about A$288 (NZ$378) and connect in Sydney. Fares are one-way including tax.
By helicopter
The four-seater Robinson R44 looks like an oversized dragonfly and is just as nimble; it offers peerless views of the rock and the mysterious rock domes of Kata Tjuta, 40 kilometres to the west. I'm fascinated by the circular patterns created by spinifex, like grey-green stubble on a red face. Ayers Rock Helicopters runs flights around Uluru and beyond, from 15 minutes (A$125 (NZ$164) a person) to a 90-minute flight around Uluru, Kata Tjuta and Mount Conner (A$690/NZ$907). See www.helicoptergroup.com.
By night
The Sounds of Silence open-air dinner is not about the food, though the buffet is well done. It's about enjoying a glass of bubbles while watching the sun set over Uluru and Kata Tjuta and dining with white napery against red earth under an extraordinary canopy of stars. The evening costs A$159 (NZ$209) for adults and A$82 (NZ$108) for children aged 10-12 (under-10s not recommended). See www.ayersrockresort.com.au.
By bus
AAT Kings has a range of flexible touring passes of the area, ranging from a 24-hour explorer pass (A$220 (NZ$289) a person) to a three-day rock and canyon pass (A$408/NZ$536). See www.ayersrockresort.com.au/rock-pass/.
By motorbike
Feel the wind on your helmet astride a late-model Harley-Davidson Heritage Softail. Uluru Motorcycle Tours runs guided tours, from a 30-kilometre Pat's Special (A$90 (NZ$118) a person) to a 155-kilometre Rock 'n' Olgas (A$295/NZ$387) and self-drive tours, too. See www.ulurucycles.com.
Staying there
Voyages Ayers Rock Resort, which was bought last week by the Indigenous Land Corporation and the local community, has a Rock Summer special for two nights' accommodation from A$298 (NZ$391) a person; extra nights for A$49 (NZ$64). Two nights at the resort's premium hotel, Sails in the Desert, cost from A$432 (NZ$567) a person. See www.ayersrockresort.com.au/summer.

text: Album Review: Eddie Vedder - Ukulele Songs July 25, 2011 reviews Eddie Vedder: Ukulele Songs (Album Art) By Melanie Walker There aren't many people bold enough to release an album that's composed of just their voice and a ukulele, but Eddie Vedder did just that with his recent solo album, simply titled, Ukulele Songs. Vedder's follow-up to his Into the Wild film soundtrack finds him tracing the footsteps of other legendary songwriters who are fans of the small, four-stringed instrument such as George Harrison and most notably, one of his heroes, Pete Townsend. It's an album that showcases his voice beautifully and reveals a side of the songwriter not often seen in his work with Pearl Jam. On Ukulele Songs, Vedder sheds the bitter, confrontational front and unveils a more romantic side of himself. So, why did he choose the ukulele for this album? It does seem that he went a bit beyond his comfort zone choosing such an unassuming instrument. For a front man who helped shape the grunge movement of the 90's, it's a bit of a stretch. You can't really shred on a ukulele, can you? But once you learn more about Vedder, the choice of this accompaniment seems to make more sense. Vedder had a rough childhood and found solace not only in music such as The Doors, The Who and Neil Young, but in surfing as well. Now, I know Seattle's not really well known for its waves, but Vedder's residence while growing up actually alternated between Chicago and San Diego, (San Diego being one of the great surf meccas of California). The ukulele is synonymous with Hawaiian culture and surfing. So, it's fitting that he chose this instrument. It represents him as an individual and also strips down the musical arrangement to better showcase his weathered, deep baritone. He opens to album fittingly, strumming furiously along to a Pearl Jam cover, '02's "Can't Keep". But soon after, his rocker-self takes a back seat on the other fifteen tracks where he reveals that he's a shameless romantic. Ukulele Songs removes Eddie the activist, the raging ball-of-fire rock star. It's more about him and his role as a husband and father. Vedder sings of the difficulties and joys of relationships, of fatherhood, and of love in general. He does a few duets that are worthy of mention: Chan Marshall, aka Cat Power, joins him for a campy, but sweet cover of "Tonight You Belong to Me"; Swell Season and Frames front-man Glen Hansard joins him for a lovelorn duet of the Bryant & Bryant classic "Sleepless Nights". Quite frankly, I think Eddie Vedder would sound great singing most anything. He's got one of those rare voices that, can not only carry a tune, but also has enough character to make any song his own. Whether or not you're a fan of Pearl Jam's music, it's undeniable that Eddie Vedder has become one of the most recognized and respected songwriters today, and Ukulele Songs captures him in top-form.

Troll pretends to be a dumb whore. Troll pretends they will write a feminisit novel. Silly troll.I'm an English major. i plan to write a novel soon speaking about the mistreatment and inequality of females in today's society.
One important issue I want to focus on is the hypocrisy of the terms "sluts" and "pimps." How can a pimp be known as a good thing when it's basically the male version of a slut? So I plan to make my novel directly towards the hypocrisy.
How about yours!? =)
