Martin Luther King Jr. "Leaders Are Readers" Program
School Award for Literacy
To Be Presented to
Buffalo Public School - Bilingual Center School 33
Tuesday, February 13, 2018 @ 9:30 a.m.
To promote literacy for New York children, Project Flight founded; in partnership with the Governor's Office, the Office of Children and Family Services, the Office of MWBE and Community Relations of the New York State Office of General Services; the Martin Luther King, Jr. Literacy Initiative entitled "Leaders Are Readers" program in Buffalo in 2004. Since its inception, the Initiative has grown to include New York City and Buffalo. This is the 14th year Project Flight and partner, the Buffalo & Erie County Public Library, will celebrate the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. New York State Literacy Initiative.
This year, Project Flight is providing 2,615 books and learning materials to Buffalo Public School - Bilingual Center School 33 during a ceremony on Tuesday, February 13. Along with the promise to promote literacy in every aspect of its students' lives, the winning school must provide a specific program that promotes Dr. King's vision of equality and justice through literacy, as well as develop a relationship between the school and its local library.
For more than 20 years Project Flight, a not-for-profit organization, has worked to promote literacy throughout the Western New York area and the world through school and family literacy initiatives. Project Flight's mission is to ensure every child has a book and can read at grade level, for children to live in a literate environment whether at home or at school and for literacy to be an entree out of poverty. To date, more than 143,000 books, worth over $1 million have been donated to thirty schools.
The Library, a trusted community institution, has been providing services, programs, expertise, technology and book collections for over 180 years. The Library welcomes millions of visitors each year. It is a vibrant public square that encourages lifelong learning beyond its four walls.
"There is no doubt education uplifts the power to fulfill dreams. We believe the legacy of literacy is democracy and freedom," said Project Flight Co-Director, Dr. Betty Cappella.
"Our vision at Project Flight is to make sure all children will increase their aptitude in literacy to gain a wealth of knowledge, which will spread throughout their lives and their families," added Project Flight Co-Director, Dr. Geraldine Bard.
"Children should be given the opportunities and encouragement to read. Having access to books can open a child's imagination, expand a child's creativity and promote exploration of interests. Books support the notion that learning can be fun. The more you learn, the more you grow. The more you grow the more you know. The prospects are endless," said Mary Jean Jakubowski, Director, Buffalo & Erie County Public Library.
This year the selection committee was made up of the Chair, Mary Jean Jakubowski, Director of the Buffalo and Erie County Library System, and co-directors of Project Flight, Dr. Geraldine Bard and Dr. Betty Cappella.
The 2018 Selected Recipient:
Winner: Buffalo Public School - Bilingual Center School 33:
The Bilingual Center School 33 serves nearly 600 children in Pre-K through 8th grade with nearly half recognized as "English language learners." The school focuses on a child/community-centered approach, dual language program and inquiry/project based learning initiatives where students will achieve academic excellence, cultural competence, college and career readiness, social/emotional balance and enduring understanding.
The Buffalo Public Schools motto; Putting children and families first to ensure high academic achievement for all, demonstrates their and Dr. King's belief that children – all children - have the right and ability to learn and achieve. The Bilingual Center 33 encourages parents/guardians to be actively involved in their child's learning with results leading to higher levels of academic achievement and social responsibilities for their child. The materials from Project Flight will assist students in following the vision of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. by achieving the school's educational programming goals. Miguel Medina is the Principal and Robert Roberts is the Assistant Principal.

My kids absolutely LOVE playing with chalk, and I love to see the smiles on their faces when they are outside and using their imagination. So here are 4 sidewalk chalk activities that I hope your kids will love as much as mine did!
1. Sidewalk Chalk Paint – (This is different then my previous post as that was a spray and this one should be used with a foam paint brushes.)
What you need:
Liquid Watercolor Paint or Food Coloring
** Liquid Watercolor is a fabulous substitute for food coloring. They are WASHABLE, they are more vibrant, they are easier to use, and cheaper! **
What to do:
Fill your container of choice halfway with cornstarch. Muffin tins from the Dollar Store are my favorite for homemade paint. Then add you choice of colors. Add water to the colored cornstarch and stir. And you really can't go wrong with the ratio, if it's too thick add water; too thin add cornstarch. It's super simple.
2. Erupting Rainbow Sidewalk Chalk Paint
What you need:
Baking Soda
Liquid Watercolor Paint or Food Coloring
Squeeze Bottles
Spray Bottles
What to do:
Again, super simple. I mixed 1/3 cup water, 1/3 cup cornstarch, and 1/3 cup baking soda for each color. The more color you add, the more vibrant the color will be. I found it easiest to mix the ingredients in a measuring cup with an easy pour spout then put it into the squeezy bottle.
After the kids have used all their paint, give them Spray Bottles with the vinegar in it and let them spray over their creations! My kids call it magic and they get so excited! 🙂 Just use the hose for easy clean up!
3. Chalk Bombs: Water Balloon Fun
What to do:
Use the same ingredients from up top **Sidewalk Chalk Paint.
(Cornstarch, Water, Liquid Watercolor Paint/Food Coloring)
Then refer to my earlier post (click here) on directions on how
to fill up your water balloons!
4. Frozen Popsicle Chalk
What you need & need to do:
This time I used half cornstarch, half water, and washable tempura paint instead of food coloring.
If you choose to use food coloring, add a few drops of dish washing liquid to make clean up easier!
Make your different colors, and then poor them into your Popsicle molds. (You can use regular ice cube trays, I just think these are easier because they are on the stick.) Freeze then play!
And even though they look good, I don't suggest letting your children eat these!

Guilty pleasure. There's none better.
Television reality shows? Horror movies? Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition? Facebook?
There has never been a more decadent guilty pleasure than the NFL draft. And this year they supersized it.
Three days of debate, discussion and drooling over 20- and 21-year-olds parading across the Radio City Music Hall stage. Prime-time Hollywood. Simon Cowell must've loved this parade of praise, gallery of glitz. And I soaked up every minute of it.
Who would the Niners draft with their third-round pick without a general manager? Would the Seattle Seahawks goof things up with Pete Carroll at the helm? What in the world would the Raiders do? Pick after pick.
More Mel Kiper Jr. than any human being needs to endure.
Sure, Thursday night's first round got most of the attention. Friday's second and third rounds drove the debate. And Saturday's finale gave the true football geeks a chance to fantasize about the possibilities of gems no soccer mom or NASCAR dad even fathomed.
And the beautiful thing about the best of our guilty pleasures is that deep down we know they mean nothing. They're just fun to enjoy.
Even more so than the NFL drafts that came before this one — the bright lights of prime time will do that — everybody has an opinion regarding who succeeded and who failed.
And what we have to remember is that no matter what we hear, what we read, nobody knows what happened over the last three days. There are no winners, no losers. Not yet.
And Niners fans should know this best. Was that first-round pick from Mississippi Valley State touted to become the Jerry Rice who re-wrote the record books? Was that third round pick out of Notre Dame hailed as the Joe Montana every quarterback since has been measured against?
It's going to take another five years to determine which team won and which team lost in this draft. There are tendons to tear, hearts to break, willpowers to prevail that have yet to be determined.
Nonetheless, while even the kids whose names were called, whose fortunes were made, have no idea if they have what it takes to succeed in the most difficult of professional sports, it was fun to watch.
Random thought
Jason Taylor to the New York Jets. From the Miami Dolphins. Do fans even matter any more?
Remember Taylor's rip into Jets fans, formerly public enemy No. 1, who could never resist making disparaging remarks about the team's fan base.
Imagine the Giants re-signing Jeff Kent or bringing Tommy Lasorda in as a consultant. Giants fans would throw up. Imagine how Jets fans are going to feel when Taylor takes the field as a member of Gang Green.
They're going to gag.

MOOERS - The experience of being in a hospital can be overwhelming for some children, but through the magic of reading, local elementary students hope they can help kids take their minds off their stay.
Last week, students from Mooers Elementary School presented a donation of books to Vermont Children's Hospital in Burlington, Vt. Third grade teacher Kimberly Wells, who coordinated the donation, said it was the second year students collected books for the hospital.
"This evolved from a desire to thank the hospital staff for the kindness and care they had shown to the son of one of our teachers who was seriously ill and had spent months at the hospital," explained Wells.
Last February, when many other schools were busy focusing on celebrating Valentine's Day, Mooers students collected books, said Wells. The tradition continued as third grade teachers coordinated a collection again this year in honor of other students being helped by the Burlington hospital.
"We felt it was a good way for the students to do something along the lines of community service and give something from the heart, rather than exchanging the traditional paper valentines," she said.
This year, approximately 130 books were collected, which is a number comparable to last year, said Wells. The school's Parent-Teacher Partnership and other volunteers also took time to dress up the donation, placing the books in valentine baskets.
The donation, said Wells, is one she hopes families and children at the hospital will be able to use during their stay.
"I felt happy when I knew the books were going to the children's hospital," said one third grade student. "I thought maybe a sick child could read with their parents at bedtime, and that would make them happy."
"I felt very kind because I gave a book to the hospital so the children will have something to do besides watch TV," said another.
Principal Dennis A. Rasco said he is proud of how the students, faculty and parents came together once again to make the donation possible.
"A project like this really demonstrates the caring of the students and the community," he said. "These books will be used by many, many children."
In addition to the donation of books, Mooers Elementary and other schools within the Northeastern Clinton Central School District are continuing to participate in the Big Change Roundup for Kids, a fundraiser sponsored by WOKO 98.9 FM and Wal-Mart to benefit the Vermont Children's Hospital.
For more information about that fundraiser, contact coordinator Melody Trombley at 298-8681, or visit www.bigchangeroundup.org.

Habitat for Humanity- Yolo County Habitat for Humanity- Yolo County
Here's a sample of our volunteer opportunities:VIEW AS
Mission Statement
Habitat for Humanity's ultimate goal is to eliminate poverty housing and homelessness from the face of the earth by building adequate and basic housing. Our Mission is to work in partnership with God and people of all walks of life, to develop communities with people in need by building and renovating houses so that there are decent houses in decent communities in which every person can experience God's love and can live and grow into all that God intends.
Habitat for Humanity of Yolo County is a non-profit, faith-based housing organization. Established in 1993 as an affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, Habitat Yolo works in partnership with God and people from all walks of life to build decent, affordable homes for families in need. Our goal is to eliminate poverty housing world-wide and to make decent shelter a matter of conscience.
Since 1996 our local affiliate has built simple, decent, affordable housing in partnership with five very low-income families in Davis. In 2006, we will begin construction on three more houses in Woodland. Habitat Yolo is continually investigating property for new projects. In time, Habitat homes will be located throughout Yolo County.
Habitat is not a give-away program. Homeowners invest hundreds of hours of their own labor-"sweat equity"--into building their Habitat house, and they re-pay our building costs through a no-interest mortgage.
Habitat for Humanity International (HFHI), based in Americus, Georgia, is an ecumenical Christian ministry dedicated to eliminating poverty housing. By the end of 2005, HFHI had constructed 200,000 houses worldwide, and more than 1 million people were living in Habitat houses that they helped build and that they are buying through no-profit, zero-interest mortgages. Habitat is a worldwide, grass-roots movement with more than 2,100 affiliates in 100 countries, including all 50 states of the United States.

What is SOPA? SOPA explained here. And why I have problem with it? Here and here are few good reasons.
"It's obvious that the US has too much influence on the internet and the world's politics. SOPA/PIPA is one of many newer laws that is passed in the US but really is in effect outside of their borders. The UN and other bodies should actually fight back and say that this is not OK, " the insider said.
"The internet is a global infrastructure and can't be run in one single country. Besides fighting SOPA, we must also take away the possibility for a single country to rule over the global infrastructure."
The Pirate Bay: PIPA/SOPA Won't Stop Us!
...Still doesn't sound that bad, but consider this: Any site that allows users to post content is "primarily designed for the purpose of offering services in a manner that enables copyright violation." The site doesn't have to be clearly designed for the purpose of copyright violation; it only has to provide functionality that can be used to enable copyright violation.
This means that YouTube, Facebook, Wikipedia, Gmail, Dropbox and millions of other sites would be "Internet sites…dedicated to theft of U.S. property," under SOPA's definition. Simply providing a feature that would make it possible for someone to commit copyright infringement or circumvention is enough to get your entire site branded as an infringing site.
Why SOPA Is Dangerous

Ridiculous Childhood Fears
The imaginary tiny fox that lived between my bed and the wall. My stuffed animals have been informed of this fact and warned to stay awake and watch out!
The music box Christmas angel that my mom took out every holiday season totally had it in for me. I was convinced that something horrible and irreparable is happening every time it slowly wound its way around, clinking out 'Silent Night.'
My story record about the squirrel who couldn't find where he buried his nuts. It prominently featured wind noises which terrified me to my tiny core. I remember feeling afraid even when I held the record sleeve in my hands.
The basement. For duh. However! Ours was rendered significantly more terrifying by the fact that the VCR's clock reflected into the window, creating the illusion of glowing greens eyes staring at you as you tore down the steps and across the linoleum to get to the light switch as fast as humanly possible.
The tall arborvitae that stood on either side of our front steps. They were huge and bushy and perfect for scary killers to hide behind. To complicate matters, our house light was motion sensitive, so you'd have to complete the long sprint up the sidewalk, leap up the steps (past the arborvitae housing monsters) and frantically wave your hand in front of the light before you were out of the dark.
Just to be clear: I'm still kind of afraid of those trees.
What wound you up as a kid?

1) Fluttering curtains. Because that certainly indicated a ghostly presence.
2) Closed shower curtains. Because who knows what/who could be hiding in the bathtub.
3) Weird shadows. Self-explanatory.
4) My porcelain doll collection. What's scarier than a freakish porcelain doll coming to life? Not that any of them did come to life--but they could have at any moment. Come to think of it, that was a weird thing to collect for a scaredy cat kid.

1. Aliens - I was sure they would come in the night to get me, so I covered myself in my stuffed animals and slept as still as possible because then they couldn't find me.
2. The toilet - I was always sure there was something in there. When I was young it was Pacman (no idea where that came from) then it turned into ghosts, spiders, snakes, etc.
3. The bushes leading up to our door - I too always thought there was a killer/rapist in there

1) Aliens for sure....and I'm a tad embarrassed to admit, it's still a fear, as irrational as it may be...haha.
2)An open closet door in the darkness of night. All those shadows and harmless clothes formed into some scary shapes at 3am.
3) The darkness under my bed. It didn't help that I pretended there was another world underneath my bed!

Demons -For some reason demons always seemed just a step away from my bedroom door at night, ready to devour me.
Closet -Like most kids, the creepy shadows it made had me believing in monsters
Clowns -wait, actually that's still a fear.

foxes! i had nightmares about a family of foxes living under my bed and it scared me so badly that i couldn't stand next to my bed in the dark. run and jump, baby. run and jump.
mummies. i was afraid they'd come in my room if i left my door open at night.
elves crawling up the drain while i was in the shower. i'm still not fully over that fear as i always have to face the drain. if i turn away or close my eyes, i start to panic a little.

-i was positive there were psycho puppet things that would come up from the crack between my bed and the wall to eat me alive. (child-hood trauma? oh yes.)

- vivresavie said...
haha some of these are rather funny. Here is my contribution...
- Following a particularly terrible nightmare, I used to imagine my year two teacher, Miss Martin, marching over the hills towards my house with the Roman army following. She loved the Romans so much, and its practically all she'd teach us, so I guess it permeated into my head slightly.
- The scary chinese 'ghost' doll with the flashing eyes that my parents owned. It's still a mystery why they owned it in the first place.
- My dad used to tell me stories about Boggarts, who were creepy scaly men that lived in the scrapheap.

Oh man...I was a weird kid. Things didnt scare me much...well, they did, but I loved being creeped out and would stay up late just to watch Are You Afraid of the Dark. Good times, good show.
Anyway, for the longest time i was scared to death of aliens. Then one day I decided that if aliens were going to come get me, I might as well get a good nights sleep. So right before I'd go to bed I'd glare out the window and think, "COME GET ME, ALIENS!!" The intimidation worked, because they never came to get me.
I was also super scared of this song called "The Cat Came Back". It still scares me. It's about a cat that kept coming back no matter how hard everyone tried to get rid of it...and thats just not natural.

Oh man. This one is tough. I was a hugggeee scaredy-cat as a kid. Everything scared me, so I'll just leave you with one:
Things that look like faces. My mother had a secretary desk with knobs that looked like eyes and it always creeped me out. Didn't help that my dad stuck a mouth onto it once...

1. Witches outside my window taking pictures of me. Why they were doing that, I have no idea.
2. A man coming in my house and cutting my face. When I was really little it was not a man but the school bully.
3. Clowns, clowns, clowns.

- This particular teddy bear, it was pure white and i was CONVINCED it was going to come and kill me while i slept. I had to make my mum throw it away, i have no idea why i found it so scary
- Zombies, i watched way too many scary movies when i was younger and i have a wild imagination
- The dark, terrified of the dark. For years i slept with the light on, even now at my age i still sleep with the tv on and a nightlight. Though now i think its more of a habbit then a fear
- Everything, i was such a scared little girl. Everything scared me, creeped me out or made me cry. Now thankfully, im not so scared haha

1. My sister's doll that talked. The recorded voice inside scared me, the fact that you could open the doll up and see the batteries and miniature record inside was even creepier.
2. My lullaby player as when the song played I could hear all the cogs whirling inside.
3. Robbers. I was so scared of them at nigh and would sneak into my parents room to look at the clock up until midnight. I figured it was too late for them after that.

Cultural Identity and Patient Trust Among Older American Indians

Shooting prompts 'Grey's Anatomy' advisory
ABC warning precedes episode echoing Baltimore deathsEerie parallels between the shocking murders Thursday at Baltimore's Johns Hopkins Hospital and the storylines of a "Grey's Anatomy" episode rebroadcast that night prompted ABC to run an advisory before the program.
The New York Times noted the warning read, "Due to today's news events and the depiction of graphic violence in the following program, viewer discretion is advised."
ABC also gave its stations the option to run a different episode of "Anatomy." But The Baltimore Sun reported that WMAR-TV, ABC's affiliate in Baltimore, ran the episode and the advisory.
In the episode in question, a gunman angry with the death of his wife in the hospital storms the building and shoots people, including Derek Shepherd, played by Patrick Dempsey, before turning the gun on himself. Virtually the same scenario played at Hopkins early Thursday.

While I was visiting my cousin I saw a fantastic building it was the Roman Catholic Church located in Gubiny. Gubiny is a very small village only 200 people live here. People run big farms here.
The most interesting landmark in the village is the stone building - the church which was built about 1342 - so it means very very old. Later in the 17th century was damaged by Swedish soldiers. In 18th century it was renovated. And it has survived in this shape till 21 st century.
|The church is surounded by cementary - it is unusual in the contemporary poland.
|The building is so lovely in the summer.

i have a stored procedure which returns three tables to a dataset ..... now i need to merge all three tables to a single table from d same dataset
like dataset1 has table1 table2 and table3 .... i want all the three tabels to be merged into dataset1 itself .... instead of three diffrent tables so that i can show all three table data in a single datagrid as a compact data and combination of 3 tables from d single dataset.....
can some1 help me please.....
Dear all;
I have a textbox and what I would like to implement is basically a situation similar to what you have in google when you type in a word. In otherwords,
in the textbox when you type in J, it should generate a list of names that starts with O in alphabetical order, then next when you type in o, so that now you have Jo, it should generate a list of names instead that now starts with Jo in alphabetical order, then again when you type in h, it should generate a list of names that starts with Joh and so on. A sample code could be helpful. Thank you. No Javascript of Jquery please. All help will be greatly appreciated.
Hi everyone,
I'm working on a library that stores information on various cases. The case table has several columns that contain descriptive strings on what happened in the case. I would like to create a single filter that returns all cases where the search string is found in any of the columns. I've looked at Dynamic Data Filtering, but as far as I can tell, the "Contains" filter only allows you to connect to each column individually. Has anyone tried this?
àIôm currently programming a web search application in ASP.Net and having problem with full text searching. My requirements are:
1. Save a byte array from SQL server to word document as a temp file in a server side?
2. How to highlight the string I am currently searching in the Word document and return to the user the sentence with the highlighted string (like on Bing or any other search engines)? Is it possible to fullfill this requirement with full-text search integrated in SQL Server 2008?
Thanks in advance,Regards,
When adding a stored procedure into the Entity Data Model I can select whether the procedure returns a scalar, a (new) complex type or one of the entity types I already defined.
How do I do something similar for a view?
I mean assuming I have a view like this
CREATE VIEW FilteredFoos as SELECT Foo.* FROM Foo join ... WHERE ...
(that is a view that implements some involved filtering, but returns all columns from one table) how do I add it to the project so that I can use the entity set, but get the Foo objects, not some new FilteredFoo objects.
var foos = myDB.FilteredFoos.Include("Bar").ToList();
foreach (Foo foo in foos) { ...
Thanks, Jenda
Does WSS 3.0 come with the filters for searching MS Office Documents or do you have to have MS Office installed on WSS 3.0 Server?
We have a document library on a site created off of the Report Center site template. We uploaded a Word 2007 document with the word zebra in the text. Using the search bar at the top of the page we selected This list: Our document library and searched for
zebra. We received no results.
We tested the same thing on another site (site template Team site) within the same site collection and search worked fine.
Does the Report Center search function differently then the search functionality on the Team site?
I have a fairly complex SharePoint Designer 2007
Data View they have added two more requirements.
1. Have the columns on the right side be able to scroll left to right as there is a large number of columns, while the first 3 columns on the left side stay locked in place. This is only one list not two, and because of some other requirements
I have it must remain to be just one list.
2. Then they also need to have scrolling up and down of the entire list with the headers locked in place.
The first requirement is more important than the second, but preferrably I need to do both.
I am new to XSL so not familar with the syntax. Is this something I can do on a custom Data View? Does anyone have any examples of how?
I have a drawing that show how it needs to look but I don't see an option here to upload a graphic.
So here is a link to my graphic example uploaded to my blog area: http://lindachapman.blogspot.com/ or just the image here: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aB01ue__NvQ/TGL42MOvrGI/AAAAAAAAAA4/c3xP4uCy4BU/s1600/Scrolling.png
I failed to mention that 3/4 of the columns are HTML Calculated fields wh
is there any way to search the table name containing a specific data in a given database.
for example, if i have any data, say "Euro" in hand, and i know any of the table in database contain the given value, however i'm not sure which table. So if i can list out the table anyhow containing the data in hand.

Never Dull: How Chris Christie carefully cultivates the media
By Howard Kurtz
You don't have to charm the press to win the presidency.
But it doesn't hurt.
And that's why Chris Christie is such a fascinating case study in massaging the media.
Mounting a White House campaign can be overwhelming, and pols who are accustomed only to the modest scrutiny visited on governors and senators are often blinded by the searing spotlight.
Bill Clinton got gentle treatment from the Little Rock press corps, but in 1992 was hit by the national media over Whitewater, Gennifer Flowers and avoiding the draft. But he didn't hide from the press—I remember being on a late-night campaign flight where he talked and talked to a group of reporters, some of whom just wanted to catch some shut-eye but were afraid of missing something.
John McCain spent eight or nine hours a day fielding questions from journalists on his bus in 2000, to the point where we sometimes ran out of material and wound up talking about movies and sports.
That same year, George W. Bush, in his compassionate conservative phase, enjoyed chatting with his media regulars and bestowed nicknames on many of them.
Mitt Romney, by contrast, avoided his press corps, seemed uncomfortable around reporters, and ran a campaign that often ignored journalistic questions. That was a missed opportunity for a challenger.
Look for Christie, assuming he runs in 2016, to passionately engage with the media (as you might have guessed when he did four Sunday shows after winning reelection). That engagement will sometimes be contentious, but chances are it will never be dull.
The best way to get a sense of how Christie's approach to the media is to examine how he deals with New Jersey reporters. Matt Katz, who now covers the governor for WNYC and New Jersey Public Radio, lifts the curtain for Politico:
"The local reporters get our own unique treatment—revealing, off-the-record, end-of-summer beers at Jersey Shore bars and profanity-infused Christmas party conversations at the governor's mansion. But we also get our own unique abuse: We know what it's like to be put in the 'penalty box,' as Christie calls it, briefly shut out from the inner circle for writing something Team Christie hates. And we've all been dressed down in State House hallways by Christie's chief spokesman, Michael Drewniak, an expert at channeling his boss's fury.
"Christie likes to tell crowds at press conferences that I must have pissed someone off at the Philadelphia Inquirer to get the Christie beat, but he's lying. He knows he fulfilled his promise from that first day we met: 'We're going to do our best to keep you entertained.'"
In diary form, Katz recalls what Christie said at the 2011 presser when he announced he wouldn't be running for president:
"The only regret I have is that I've given such great TV exposure to some of the local reporters. I mean, who's gonna have Katz on TV now that I'm out of this race? Nobody is gonna have Katz on TV. He won't be able to get on News 12 for God's sake."
A savvy pol plays off his press corps, and Christie is no exception:
"Christie uses reporters the same way comedians use those in the front rows at stand-up shows. The back-and-forth amuses him, amuses his staff, amuses us (sometimes). We also act as his foil, tossing the alley-oops for the sound bites that land on the gubernatorial YouTube channel. The clips are emailed to every political reporter in America and likely a few county Republican chairs in Iowa…
"My biggest competition is not other reporters; it is the man himself. He is his own news outlet."
There is a downside to this approach, of course. A man who is his own news outlet risks overexposure. The more he's sparring with reporters, the greater the chance that he will say something dumb, creating a YouTube moment that he wouldn't want on his channel. And there's a chance his argumentative style may not wear well.
On the other hand, we're guaranteed to be entertained. Read more at Fox News.

I've been loving these remasters. The version of "I've Just Seen a Face," in its remastered format has been available since the Capitol Album CD releases - which for the past few years has been my example for those who have been waiting for remastered sound. Finally we have the whole catalogue, and finally I my praises can be understood by those who didn't pay up for the Capitol releases.

Interesting... I think Beatles For Sale is one of the highlights for me. Hearing the first four albums in this box set is a revelation. The mono remasters are equally impressive. But also, don't discount the Capitol remasters... they have merit and some of those mono recordings benefit from the added reverb and echo, they tend to sound a little fuller.

This review answers some question I have concerning this new set, but I am still not sure if I want to replace my original LP's (mono and stereo on all the early albums), and my cd collection with another set.

by Wrath4771
The remastered albums are well done, but I wouldn't say you have to go replace the '87 albums right away - if at all. When I have the extra money I will go and get the remastered albums, but it's not a high priority. As for Let It Be Naked, I have to disagree with Scorekeeper. Two Of Us and Across the Universe benefit, but The Long and Winding Road and Let It Be seem to be missing something. It could be just because I was raised on the original recordings, but without the orchestra, but songs feel flat.

Pretty pointless to compare the stereo remasters to the 87 mono remasters. Of course a stereo "With The Beatles" will sound completely different than a mono one (worse, in my opinion). Comparing the mono remasters to the 87 CDs that were mono really shows the improvement the remasters made. I also can't agree that the difference from the 87 to the 09 version gets less as time progresses in the discography. I think especially Abby Road has never sounded so fantastic as it sounds now.
 But really, that's all not important. What's really important is:
 Robert Zemeckis is working on a 3D "performance capture" Yellow Submarine remake RIGHT NOW. This man and his cronies will force the zombified, dead-eyed corpses of George Harrison and John Lennon on the world. They will crank up the "action" and the "humor" of the piece. They need to be stopped!
 Dear Jesus, or Buddha or Krishna or anyone up there - give Robert Zemeckis late stage cancer right now please. Dear terrorists - bomb the shit out of Dreamworks or wherever that abomination is being produced.
Fuck you Zemeckis.

Simply are that the stereo mix on the first two albums feels like it is stretching my brains to the sides of my head, thus causing a headache (see I Want To Be Your Man). All of the albums are tastefully done, to preserve the greatness that is there on every track. I'd also like to say the I much more prefer the Mono remasters. Having listened to the stereo masters my whole life I was wary going into the world of Mono. But all the sounds in Mono sound full, to where in stereo they sound as a bit naked. That is my two cents on the remasters as a Beatlemania. P.S. I agree with Wrath4771. Let it Be is a great album and if you didn't see the greatness you weren't looking hard enough.

by MetalMickey
I did a comparison with the old cd & the remastered version is a ridiculous improvement. For one, the strings are sinewy in the original cd while the new version makes it sound as if the string section is playing just a few feet away. "All My Loving" sounds like it was recorded yesterday. I hope more old albums undergo this process (I'm looking at YOU "Ziggy Stardust.").

As much as I love The Beatles (easily my favorite band ever), the Mono set is just an elitist audiophile excess. I know it's how all but three of their albums were actually recorded, but the only reason for that was the technology wasn't available at the time of their recording. Going "back to mono" after having the original CD releases since 1987 is a definite downgrade. If you're a completist to the degree that you want every album as it was originally released, I suggest you get a turntable and find everything on original vinyl.

by irvingberlinalexanderputz
I only got Meet the Beatles, Revolver, and Rubber Soul so far, and I love it. But I think they brought up the bass waaaayyy too much. Seems like they tweaked the bass stuff in order to 'modernize' the sound.
Oct. 12, 2009, 11:07 p.m. CST
by The_Ad_Wizard_Who_Came_Up_With_This_One
The original CD releases of the first 4 albums from 87 WERE mono, because they couldn't manage to finish the stereo remixes they wanted to do (and did with Help and Rubber Soul, later stereo mixes were deemed good). Why did they want to remix those old stereo releases and when they couldn't instead released the mono versions? Because back in the early sixties stereo was what you would call an "elitist audiophile excess". Nobody had a stereo and very little time was spend on the stereo mixes. The Beatles were present at the mono mixing, but not at the stereo. If you compare the both versions of Please Please Me for example the difference is huge. Mono - cool album, stereo - weird mix with some instruments in the left channel and some in the right, like having a battle between the drums and the guitars. Sounds especially distracting on headphones. The only reason the stereo versions are now the preferred ones is people like you who think stereo = automatically better.
 Long story short: you don't know what you're talking about.

Sorry, you lost me after the comment: "a purist like myself relishes hearing these early Beatle tunes in true stereo." There are NO TRUE STEREO recordings of those early sessions! The only way to listen to, and respect, any Beatles record up to and including "Beatles For Sale" is with the Mono mixes. I suppose some of the people who enjoy having vocals in one ear and instruments in the other also prefer the Beatles cartoons to their films!

It's definately my favorite Beatles song, but I'm going to have to say that I'm a little disappointed in the remastered version. I've listened to it a few times and the whole part at the end gong where you could hear Ringo's drum seat turning and his sticks clicking are gone. It's a shame really because, like you previously noted, the orchestra has never sounded better. And I find it a bit unnerving with the whole collection that the bass and drums and acoustic instruments are brought out at the expense of the electric guitars. It seems like since they didn't have George and John alive anymore, they didn't get a good total tone out of the electrics from the mix. And since Paul and Ringo were still alive, they brought out their parts a bit louder on the albums. Sure these remasters sound a little fresher, but I'm not giving up the older CD releases.....or my albums.

Bravo. here's your award for best response. Stereo is one thing, total isolation in different speakers is just plain awkward. Thats why I am glad I have the special issue of the first Pink Floyd album with a mono disc (was recorded at Abbey Road the same time as Sgt Pepper, band was present for mono mix only as well). Kudos dude.

My biggest complaint with the '87 remasters was the muddiness and lack of low end. I think it's just the fact that we are hearing Paul tear it up for the first time since vinyl that may be slightly off-putting. Frankly, as a bass player, I find his fluid, melodic runs (har har) to be a revelation. I never realized how great of a player he was until these new remasters. Lovin it.

McCartney(Bowl of cherries), Ram, Red Rose Speedway, Band on the Run, Venus and Mars, London Town, etc. ~ cooler songs, a little more organic and loose, and stuff I'm not completely sick of (some of his new stuff is decent, but not nearly as cool as the old stuff). Then I'll take a few of George Harrison's albums, "All Things Must Pass" being my favorite...

just for the record, it was john lennon who played bass guitar on the final version of "helter skelter". he also played the decidedly unskilled saxophone. (see "the beatles recording sessions" by mark lewisohn, entry for monday 9 september 1968, for further details, including amusing quotes from a couple of the engineers on deck that night: "they were completely out of their heads that night. but as usual, a blind eye was turned to what the Beatles did in the studio. everyone knew what substances they wer taking but they were really a law unto themselves in the studio...while paul was doing his vocal, george had set fire to an ashtray and was running around the studio with it above his head...all in all, a pretty undisciplined session, you could say...")

Didn't we find out recently it wasn't Waters but actually Gilmour playing on bass on the big albums (Obscured by Clouds through the Wall). From what I heard that the bass lines that were written were to hard for Roger to play.

You got me on the exact release history of the '87 Remasters. Couldn't even do proper research since I already pawned them to get the new ones. Anyway... Given the notorious stinginess, as well as the fervent attention to detail and completism, of The Beatles and their estate, why would they even release The Beatles catalog in a way other than it was meant or intended to be released? Why even produce stereo mixes if George Martin, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and George Harrison (while he was still alive) didn't approve and assume it was the best way to release them today? If someone is interested in The Beatles catalog as an antiquity, something of a curio to be marveled at for its quaintness, I would suggest they get the overpriced and nearly unavailable Mono set. If they're interested in The Beatles catalog as a kind of "living document" that's still as relevant and vibrant as it was when it was released, go for the Stereo set. I've just had bad aural experiences with Mono albums in the past. Pet Sounds in mono, which is how it was mixed originally, sounds like shit in an echo chamber. The Stereo mix is revelatory. Maybe it all comes down to opinion.

Roger Waters is an excellent bass player, all of Gilmour's (and Roger's own) digs notwithstanding. He was the right bass player for Pink Floyd, just as Nick Mason was the right drummer. Virtuosos? No. But that would not have been appropriate for that band, and we wouldn't have the great music they made if any element were taken out. Having said that, the piecemeal overhaul of their catalog is frustrating, and an officially released, comprehensive Anthology/BBC style series of outtakes, demos, live and alternate material is long overdue. (I'd be happy to help them compile it!) Oh, and thelordofhell is just bitter cuz he only listened to MY remasters and he doesn't have his own. For me, I'll never willingly listen to the 1987 Beatles releases again.

In general I agree with you in terms of the Beatles being heard in a relevant, dynamic, "living" way for today's audiences (notwithstanding the fact that I do plan to pick up the the mono set myself at some point). But while it might be a matter of opinion, there ARE exceptions. Since another TB'er brought up Floyd (and I went on further about it), Pink Floyd's Piper At The Gates Of Dawn is REVELATORY in mono, and the stereo version is awful by comparison. (Just as the yet-to-be-re-released quadraphonic version of THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON is vastly superior to ANY stereo mix of that album, including the 2003 5.1 remaster.) Bottom line: each format has its strengths and weaknesses, its champions and detractors, obviously. I think they should all be made available for those who want them, whichever version defaults into being the "standard", as long as the remastering is done tastefully and with respect for the intent of the originals. (Though I do have to say the Beatles LOVE is pretty damned cool, too....)

You can convert stereo to mono,....but not the other way(even though they did back then,,,,,phase&Freq wise). My receiver and even Itunes lets you convert to mono. My personally,.....I want as many tracks(channels) they will let out of the studio.There is a DTS-cd of Abbey Road made with isolated tracks using protools that sounds very very good. But anyway,...sure the mono tracks use diff takes on a few,....but on whole,...the ONLY reason to get the MONO box....is what the HELL should have been in the STEREO! The Rubber Soul and Help! albums suck donkey balls with centered vocals and reverb. Again,...like mononess.....you can add reverb,...but not remove. And even though I hold George Martin in super high regards....that was a damn mistake in 87.....and now they redid it. The 87 versions should have been on the mono set no vice versa. Short of that,....it's all gold.

Sure in the end it comes down to a question of taste, no doubt about it. My taste in the case of especially Please Please Me and With The Beatles is the mono. They just pack more punch, sound denser and rock more than in the stereo mix. I just don't get the goose bumps the last quarter of Please Mister Postman (the "wait a minute" part) gives me in mono on the other version. But hey, that's the good thing about them finally having released both versions: everyone can get what he prefers. (After listening to the remasters for some time i also gotta say that i got the feeling they spend more time on the stereo remasters than on the mono ones)
Doc Hudson: pushing the "mono" button in iTunes is definitely not the same thing as hearing the mono mix of a song.
This is mainly just bickering on my part anyway - the day i will be truly happy is when apple releases the complete tapes of every single beatles session ever recorded, so that people can make their own mixes ; )

Is that they were recorded on two track. Instruments on one track, vocals on the other. So the only way to separate them for stereo is the hideous far left/far right split. But when I was listening to these two cds in by brother's listening lounge, I turned my chair so the instruments were behind me and the vocals in front. Sounded great.

I agree with you the Pet Sounds stereo mixes are fantastic. The difference is that early stereo mixes were done when stereo was new and without The Beatles participation. Pet Sounds was remixed in the late 90s with Brian Wilson's full participation. The Beatles early stereo tracks are more like dual channel mono. Hard pans left and right. Like biglou114 said, they hurt my brain too. The way that Pet Sounds was recorded they have a lot of latitude in mixing stereo versions to place the instruments and vocals in the stereo space. And the results are beyond amazing. If only Capitol would stop releasing only one or two new mixes per year and do some full albums. That would be great.

late in the Rubber Soul sessions.
 The bass on "Rain" and "Paperback Writer" sounds like a Ricky and that sound is all over "Revolver".
 McCartney used the Hofner from time to time afterwards for its particular short, thumpy sound - but for he most part he took advantage of the superior sound of the Ricky - better fretboard, better electronics. He was very influenced by Carol Kaye's work on Pet Sounds (for example, "Little Help from my Friends", "Getting Better") and couldn't achieve that sound with the Hofner.
 Interesting that people feel the bass and drums are too prominent. McCartney has said several times that he prefers '60s mixes which tend to have dominant guitars and midrange emphasis.

I had that once :P ....people dont seem to understand that these new mono versions aren't just remastered, they contain the original mono mixes and not the "remixed to stereo with the drums on the left crap" from 87. To me it's not a matter of sounding better it's a matter of hearing the original mixes. If you don't buy the new set, the only way you can get that is to collect original mono vinyl which is going to cost you a hundred times more! Not too mention i have to buy a turntable because I don't do vinyl anymore lol!

a) Abbey Road was never released in mono, nor was Let It Be. There was a mono version of Abbey Road released in Brazil, but it was a fold-down of the stereo. b) THESE ALBUMS HAVE NOT BEEN REMIXED. They are remastered from the original analog masters...the only discs that use the '87 mixes are Help! and Rubber Soul, and the original stereo mixes for these two albums are included as bonus tracks on the Mono set. c) Vinyl versions of these remasters have been confirmed as coming out in March...stereo only, though, no news on mono yet (CURSES!!)

... can result in phase cancellation - meaning that the sound is thinner and can have a "comb filter" effect.
 Modern mixers carefully check for this - and regularly check their stereo mixes for phase cancellations in mono.
 Back in the '60s, when stereo was a novelty in the UK, the mono mix would receive lavish care and attention, the stereo mix would be a rather cursory quick mix for a niche market.
 The result, in general was there was no meticulous checking to see whether the stereo mix could be summed to mono without artifacts.

by Life Proof
The mono mixes are, in a lot of cases, radically different than the stereo. This has been mentioned before, but the Beatles themselves supervised the mono mixes of ALL the albums with George Martin. The stereo mixes were all done hastily by Geoff Emerick and co. after, which resulted in losing the spontaneous ideas and lots of studio notes that were conceived during the mono mixing process. What you are proposing is known as a "fold-down" mix, which is not actually a true mono mix.

Here's a great blow-by-blow look at the various versions of Let It Be at allmusic.com: http://tinyurl.com/ykbmd32. I'll quote a portion of it. "As the title should make clear, Let It Be... Naked is not Get Back. Where Get Back was designed to be deliberately loose, complete with ragged performances and spoken asides, Naked is a deliberately professional piece of work, with all of the rough edges smoothed down. Consequently, it's not so much an archival release, but more like the audio equivalent of George Lucas' Star Wars special editions, complete with controversies along the lines of Han Solo not shooting Greedo first. Let It Be is recognizable in its Naked form, but it's been cleaned up, mixed up, and altered, gaining the superb "Don't Let Me Down" at the expense of "Dig It" and "Maggie Mae," as the song sequence has been shuffled and the dialogue has been cut out completely (perhaps Paul wasn't too keen on John's mock "and now here's Hark the Herald Angels come" preceding "Let It Be"). Those are merely the obvious changes, too. Throughout the record, there have been edits, splices, and polishes, some of which are a little disarming, such as the lack of the coda on "Get Back" (including no "hope we passed the audition" from John) and a different guitar solo on "Let It Be" (a solo different than either the single or album version). .... But Naked doesn't set the record straight; it further clouds the waters by presenting a third version of the sessions, one that is no more accurate than the original album. It could be argued, in fact, that without Lennon's wiseass remarks and larks like "Dig It" it feels less like the sessions, which were ramshackle (in fact, they were directionless, as the bonus "Fly on the Wall" disc reveals). But it is also true that Naked is a finished album, with polished intros and outros, and is overall slightly stronger on a track-by-track basis. These changes make it a sleeker, slicker album, but it's hard not to miss the off-the-cuff aura of Let It Be, which contained more character and revelations than this revised version."

scorekeeper, i registered at the site specifically to comment on this review. you might be a serious musician; i can't tell. you're probably a bit of a gearhead, or at a minimum you like talking about instruments. swell! but this needs some fucking editing. your malapropisms give off the usual AICN whiff of melodramatic overwriting, whatever, but there's a little tincture of dilettantism in there too, baby. a bass guitar isn't 'discerning.' beatlemania does not 'quake.' 'it should certainly exceed the value of their worth' is nonsense. the creativity of a rock song does not 'supercede its contemporaries,' it 'surpasses that of its contemporaries' (and the proper spelling is 'supersede' in any case). 'impedance' is a technical term (you presumably want 'impediment'?). this entire paragraph - "The second greatest benefit to these remastered albums is Paul's melodious bass. I've always considered Paul McCartney to be one of the premiere rock 'n roll bassists of our time. His inherent gift for melody has been ubiquitous in his playing since relegated to bass duty during the earliest days of the band. The unique 1962 Höfner 500/1 that Paul plunked was perfectly suited for his particular playing style. While the discerning qualities of the hollow bodied, flat-wound strung Höfner were always present in the '87 remasters, it is even more apparent in the '09 remasters. It's a glorious instrument which gracefully booms beneath the guitars with an ample amount of low-frequency presence without a hint of muddiness." - is an ungodly fucking jumble that manages to say 'i like the new clear bass sound' without actually communicating any information about that sound. you don't 'pit...with,' you pit *against*. 'a day in the life' might be an exemplary work or something or other, but it does not 'define ____'s genius.' and this sentence - "It's musical weight does not deter from the integrity but rather gives it a fuller aural spectrum that is complimentary of the original material" - contains at least five writerly errors. i know you've got a big hard-on for these albums like pretty much everyone else in the english-speaking world, and i know you're jonesing to talk about the beautiful expensive sonics. go go go. but this is a written medium, alas, and there are few things as frustrating in a reviewer as compulsive overwriting, vocabulary abuse, and banality dressed up in jargon. if you wanna say some shit about some music, SAY IT. but quit skullfucking the english language while you do. WE NEED THOSE EYE SOCKETS. thank you.

Hey guys can anyone help me out? I'm torn between the mono and the stereo boxset. On one hand, I heard these new stereo mixes are great and better than the mono ones. Plus I mostly listen to music on my laptop and ipod with earphones and it's apparently really weird to listen to mono with earphones. On the other hand The Beatles themselves said that the mono mixes are the way the records should be heard. I'm kinda torn here. MONO or STEREO? Also does copying a song from the CD to itunes lessen its quality? Or is it just mp3s that are of lower quality?

A hospital boss ran up a £50,000 bill on his NHS credit card on fine dining and luxury hotel stays.
Phil Morley, who hit the headlines last year by dressing up as Superman in a video to boost staff morale, also used the card to pay for Waitrose shopping and a trip to Greggs bakeries.
The former chief executive of the Hull and East Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust spent the cash while staff were forced to make savings of £95million.
Mr Morley spent more than £6,800 on hotel bills last year, including a £817.50 stay at the five-star Royal Horseguards Hotel in London.
He quit in April before a damning report on his running of the trust and is now chief executive at the Princess Alexandra NHS trust in Harlow, Essex.
At least 15 other members of staff at Hull have racked up credit card bills totalling almost £1million since 2013. While £865,000 was spent on IT equipment, staff used cards to pay for chocolates, flowers, soft funishings and downloads on iTunes.
His replacement, John Saxby, has ordered staff to hand back their credit cards, stop travelling first class and only use budget hotels.
'This is public money at the end of the day,' he said.
Mr Morley was not available for comment on the findings.

Prudential Select Properties St. Louis Announces Release of "10 Ways to Turn Off A Potential Homebuyer" Infographic
The professional real estate agents at Prudential Select Properties of St. Louis have released an informative graphic, outlining the top ten reasons potential buyers might not consider purchasing a home. The infographic is based on an article written by Jay McDonald at Bankrate.com. Feeling that both potential St. Louis home-buyers and sellers could benefits from the information outlined in McDonald's article, Prudential Select St. Louis chose to create an infographic.
The infographic outlines the ten ways to turn off a homebuyer as 1) Dirt, 2) Odors, 3) Old Fixtures, 4) Wallpaper, 5) Popcorn Acoustic Ceilings, 6) Too many personal items, 7) Snoopy sellers, 8) Misrepresenting your home, 9) Poor curb appeal and 10) Clutter. The infographic also enlists the professional advice of several real estate professionals, no associated with Prudential Select Properties St. Louis. Cited in the infographic are Chad Goldwasser of Goldwasser Real Estate, Terry Cannon of Oregon Exclusive Buyers and Julie Dana, co-author of "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Staging Your Home to Sell."
According to MacDonald, "back in 2007, homebuyers would beg to purchase your house. They would bid even more than the asking price for the privilege to do so." In order to have an advantage in the St. Louis home selling market, Prudential Select Properties suggests that the tips outlined in the infographic are followed. To get more detailed information, Prudential Select Properties St. Louis suggests contacting one of the professional agents today.

Well me neither, but for my 30th birthday I was tempted to get myself in the business class cabin...and it was a great idea! :)
Since I had so many points already with British Airways, the ticket was really cheap, so it definitely was a must have!
Well after the first annoying fact, like the flight was cancelled in last minute at around 4am...when I was already on my way to Heathrow...everything was perfect!!! :)
At Heathrow airport Terminal 5 everywhere I had to go was Fast Track. Fast lane for the passport check, fast lane for the security checks. Once I was through all the usual things I went to the Lounge area, which is a privileged area for business class ticket holders, or for those who are already in higher tiers in the One World Alliance programme.
|Fast Track
Since it's one of the corners of the building, it is really airy and sunny with lot's of comfy chairs, sofas, armchairs filled with busy business men and women!
On my way out I even found magazines for free to take away! I got Harpers Bazaar and an Interior Design paper to take away...but I could have easily picked a few more...I just did not want to carry them to Hamburg and then back!
|British Airways Terminal 5 Lounge breakfast
Alright, finally it was time to board!!!! :)
I was seated in the very first raw! Someone tall I'm sure would have appreciated it much more than me with. The legroom was massive...
|Legroom in BA business class
|Clouds, Land, Taking off
|Over the clouds somewhere over Amsterdam
|Circled rainbow on the cloud
- 'Miss De Sentimental'! What would you like to have for breakfast?
Since it was my birthday weekend, I wanted the best from everything and did not want the light version breakfast with light yoghurt and fruits....so I went for the one with cold cuts and champagne! :) As you can see it was a good choice with the parma ham, aubergine, jam, olives, sundried tomatoes, pecorino etc and all of these served in Royal Doulton.

I feel like I messed up. The first time we met, we hung out for 4-5 hours. Talked at school, had coffee, and then talked in the backseat of his car for 2 hours. After around the 1st hour of talking in his car, he started moving closer to me, touching me, and then we went from kissing.. to making out... to him sucking my breast... to him wanting sex, and me saying no twice. So I basically gave him access to my breats and allowed him to be on top of me.
But after that meeting, he later texted me and apoligized and that he just got caught up in the moment. He said whether I wanted to wait for marriage or not, that he wasn't going anywhere.
On the side note he likes to compliment me a lot saying im sexy, i am very attractive, i like you, etc.
He's already mentioned how much he likes me roughly like 4 or 5 times now.
These past few days he's been sending me good morning texts, and although I don't mind them I do question as to whether this will be an everyday thing.
Basically what I am asking is, did I mess up by letting him go to far and making out with me, touching my breast, butt? I did not allow him to undress me at all though. We both stayed fully clothed.
He has also sexted me alittle bit
I feel like it's kind of weird to be doing all this stuff when I don't know him very well. I'm not putting all the blame on him though, I kissed him back and stuff.. and I guess it was b/c I was excited... b/c I never experienced touching/kissing/etc. like that from someone before, and I wanted to know how it felt
For the upcoming date I am thinking about showing minimal contact, no making out or anthing like that, and only giving some pecks/kissess. Do you think he will take offence to that?

Well things got a little heated on the first date and that doesn't mean you ruined anything. As long as it was consensual! To be honest you can get sexual when you think you're ready. My last ex i waited 5 months before sleeping with him and i ended up getting cheated on and so mistreated and with my boyfriend now i slept with him on the 2nd date and we've been together for more than a year.
This guy seems apologetic and seems like he genuinely wants to get to know you. So just take things slow and get sexual with him once you feel like you're ready. there's no need to rush, regardless he won't respect you any less.

Hello Footy Fans!
This week the UEFA Champions League continues with matchday 2 as does the UEFA Europa League. The Concacaf Champions resumes group stage play as well. We will have three live UEFA Champions League matches on Tuesday and two live games on Wednesday. Between Fox Soccer and Setanta, nearly every game is being shown in the group stage. And with ESPN no longer showing the UCL, the network has picked up English Premier League games and even La Liga games from Spain – and more importantly, included highlights and scores on regular broadcasts.
As with the Mexico-USA world cup qualifier, the game at Honduras has goofy TV rights. The TV rights belong to the host nation and it can sell to anyone it wants. The Honduras game has been sold only to closed circuit TV which means that there will be no way to watch the game at home. The closed circuit feed is only available to bars and restaurants. The feed, as I am sure you can imagine, is not cheap. I am talking with the company who is selling the game in the USA and I am 99% sure that we will show it. Right now, I want to make sure that we can show it on multiple TVs – including the new 42″ plasma outside. The game is scheduled for 6 pm local time on Saturday, October 10th. I will send out an email next week once I know absolutely that the feed will work out. We will not be charging any kind of cover for USA fans, but I would ask that folks coming to the game realize that we will be spending an enormous amount of money to show the game and to try and spend at least $15 or so each.Â
DUE TO THE OVERWHELMING RESPONSE FROM USA FANS, THERE WILL BE NO AWAY FANS ALLOWED. There are several Spanish Language outlets for the game in town and we will certainly be at capacity with just USA fans.
The Costa Rica game is at home for the USA and will be on ESPN on the 14th. I am very optimistic about my chances of breaking out our USA yard glass to celebrate making it into the 2010 World Cup. For those who were at the last game, it was very much enjoyed around the entire bar. If you would like a USA yard glass of your own, visit our friend and professional glass blower, Dave Savarese, at his webiste – www.artisticglasscreations.com. Dave donated the USA yard glass to the bar for USA soccer matches and to commemorate O'Brien's becoming San Diego's only official US Soccer bar. Hopefully we will all drink from it soon.

That is your soccer news for now. I will send out an email as soon as I have 100% confirmation on the USA – Honduras game. This week's cask is the new Tuatara hoppy session ale from Alpine, which is delicious and uses New Zealand hops. There are still spaces available for our beer and cheese pairings on October 7th and 11th – sign up at the pub. Cheers, Tom
