"That all citizens will be given an equal start through a sound education is one of the most basic, promised rights of our democracy. Our chronic refusal as a nation to guarantee that right for all children.... is rooted in a kind of moral blindness, or at least a failure of moral imagination.... It is a failure which threatens our future as a nation of citizens called to a common purpose... tied to one another by a common bond." —Senator Paul Wellstone --- March 31, 2000

What stands today as L.A.'s Chinatown was built in the 1930s by a well-established Chinese-American community, and the contribution of Hollywood set designers gave it a conspicuous exoticism that still exists. Even now, with over 25 non-Chinese-owned galleries dotting the landscape, the Chinese aspect—pagoda entrances, dragon motifs, temples, latticed windows, restaurants and bars with names like Hop Louie and Foo Chow—is prevalent.
Park on Broadway, and start at (1) Wonder Bakery (www.wonderbakery.com), at the corner of Broadway and Gin Ling Way. Skip the French pastries, but indulge in delicious Chinese treats: sweet egg tarts, dense coconut buns, and buns coated with "meat floss" and filled with custard.
Walk out of the bakery, past the statue of Sun Yat-Sen (father of Modern China), and into (2) Realm (425 Gin Ling Way; tel. +1 213 628 4663; www.realmhome.com), a mod housewares store. Notice the defunct neon sign at the entrance that says "Dining Room": Back in the day, this was a banquet restaurant. In the store, look up: The store's owner rescued these gorgeous painted tiles from the attic. It took three months of cleaning to uncover dragons and phoenixes from decades of smoke and grime. Note the before and after renderings of the plaza you're standing in behind the cash register.
Turn right as you exit, and check out (3) Munky King (441 Gin Ling Way; tel. +1 213 620 8787; www.munkyking.com), a boutique that sells limited-edition collector toys—some for thousands of dollars. Turn right as you exit, walk to the end of the plaza, and cross Hill Street, the perpendicular roadway. Enter the plaza opposite, walking under strands of faded red lanterns to reach Chung King Road, a pedestrian plaza parallel to Hill Street.
This is the heart of the gallery district, which showcases good, often young (some fresh out of art school), and often local, artists. Don't miss: (4) the two spaces belonging to Black Dragon Society (961 & 971 Chung King Rd.; tel. +1 213 620 0030), (5) The Happy Lion (963 Chung King Rd.; tel. +1 213 625 1360; www.thehappylion.com), (6) Telic (975 Chung King Rd.; tel. + 1 213 344 6137; www.telic.info), which features video installation art and fun monthly fundraisers (Nintendo Wii "golf tournament"), (7) Peres Projects (969 Chung King Rd.; tel. +1 213 617 1100; www.peres-projects.com), (8) Mary Goldman Gallery (932 Chung King Rd.; tel. +1 213 617 8217; www.marygoldman.com), and (9) China Art Objects (933 Chung King Rd.; tel. +1 213 613 1384). Note that galleries are typically closed Sundays, Mondays, and Tuesdays. Retrace your steps back across Hill Street, and end your tour at (10) Via Café (451 Gin Ling Way; tel. +1 213 617 1481), a lively coffee shop that serves excellent Vietnamese food.

A battle of the will
16 November 2013 , 9:01 AM by Rob Minshull
With divorce rates rising and an increasing number of what are referred to as 'blended families', it is not surprising to hear more stories of disputes over wills.
But under what circumstances can a will be challenged and is there a way for the person leaving the will to make sure their instructions are followed?

Long time lurker, first time poster. And when I say 'long time lurker' I mean like a couple years worth of lurking. I've seen a lot of TDH armors completed I've been here so long. If the internet was High School then TDH would be that hot guy in math class I've been secretly crushing on since Junior High.
I've been wanting to make a set of armor for a long time. I either didn't have the money, time, or the means to do it. The fire got burning once again though after a late night tablet sketch:
Now, we're just going to ignore any bad anatomy, stray lines, or the general scribbly-nature of this picture >_>. Like I said... late night... like 4:30 in the am. Particularly that poncho that has no definition of shape and clearly shows my total lack of regard for fabric folds .
Anyways, I thought the armor design was cool and felt like it was a shame that I would never really be able to do anything with it. Till I figured out that I should just make some armor.
As I said, I've been wanting to do this for a while now, I was just too worried about coming on these boards and looking like a doofus because I might have silly questions. Either way, I want to do this and I'm asking for your guys/gals input. Think of this as me finally getting the nerves to ask TDH out to the Prom.
Not sure what this character would be, either a sniper or a scout of some sort.
Can you tell I like the idea of bandages/wraps? >_>. I figured it would add some layers to the armor while still giving it a slim silhouette.
The poncho is an additional thing that I may or may not do.
As I'm looking at this I'm also realizing there's a lot of other things I'd like to add... And to do a ref for the back of the armor because there's some stuff going on back there that I haven't drawn.
Either way, you all get a rough idea of what I'm thinking. So... lay it on me, what do you think?

I get this question often:
What are the rules on turning nouns into adjectives? Is there any general rule?
I have one friend in specific who is very confused about this.
For example, how do I explain why you would say:
The salt water
The dirt road
business trip
bean soup
rose garden
instead of:
salty water
dirty road
and in the last two cases...
soup made of beans
garden of roses or garden with roses.
Is there a clear explanation?
Thanks so much!

You don't have to live in a high-risk flood zone to be affected by a flood. Floods and flash floods can occur anywhere, even in the desert. Just an inch of water can cause damage to your property. In fact, in the U.S., flood-related losses cost people more than a billion dollars a year1.
Flooding may be localized or catastrophic. Many floods arrive with advance warning so you can prepare.

Flood insurance policies cover physical damage to your property and possessions from floods or flood-related losses due to rising water in high risk areas. The federal government runs the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), which can issue flood insurance policies. Even if you have homeowners, renters, condo, landlord, mobile home or business insurance, you may need to purchase a separate flood insurance policy to have protection from flood damage. Get an NFIP flood insurance quote from Allstate today!

A slow moving front loaded with rain caused the National Weather Service to issue a flood watch for Hardin County and \\ has been extended to include all adjacent counties as well.
The alert, which began at 4 p.m. Saturday, is scheduled to continue through 7 p.m. EST today. Hardin County has received 0.97 inches today as of noon, according to the Kentucky Mesonet site at Cecilia. Meade and Breckinridge counties, by contrast, are closer to two inches of rainfall.
Multiple waves of rain are expected to pass through the area tonight through Sunday evening resulting in rainfall totals of one-and-a-half to three inches, the National Weather Service forecast says. Some rain totals could be higher.
Minor river flooding is expected, particularly along the river basins including the Ohio, Nolin, Salt and Rolling Fork, the NWS alert says.
Some flooding is possible throughout the alert area for low-lying property.
Because of changing weather conditions, the flood watch has been extended further to the east. The alert originally marked Hardin County and the Interstate 65 corridor as its eastern edge. Now it extends eastward toward Frankfort.

Nigeria has spent more than a decade trying to "decongest" its overcrowded prisons, using a mixture of amnesties and ad-hoc releases of inmates that have spent long periods of time in custody. Despite marked reductions in the total number of prison inmates in the first decade of this century, many prisons in the southern states of Nigeria, particularly those that house un-sentenced inmates, remain severely crowded, with people confined in dangerous and unhealthy conditions. In the summer of 2009, the Attorney General of Lagos State summoned experts to an inter-agency forum seeking fresh ideas and new measures to improve justice. Knowing that it would take a long time to introduce structural solutions to what he called "practices and procedures that foster delay in criminal trial," he asked for help developing an indicator that could chart incremental progress in the short term.
In 2010, a team from the Attorney General's office, the CLEEN Foundation, and Harvard began developing a measure of the duration of pretrial detention by studying the records of inmates that leave prison each month. These prison exit samples revealed that most inmates spend very short periods of time in detention, with one third of defendants leaving in less than one week, and another 29 percent leaving before the end of one month, as the chart below shows. The findings not only generated a reliable measure of the duration of detention, they also spawned the development of separate indicators for the Director of Public Prosecution and the Criminal Investigations Department of the State Police. To read about the results as well as the method by which these indicators were designed, read the report, Prison Exit Samples as a Tool of Indicator Development.

Many prison systems share similar features, but every prison has its own maladies.The Central Prison in Freetown, Sierra Leone, like its counterparts in Lagos, uses a simple population tracking device to record the number inmates each month according to their legal status. This register can help start the process of developing an indicator for pretrial detention by raising questions about the drivers of prison population dynamics. For example, as the chart below shows, the sudden and sharp reduction in the number of inmates on "remand" in July 2010 was not accompanied by a corresponding increase in the number of inmates "under trial," suggesting that factors other than case processing speed are responsible for the changes. Conversely, the annual decrease in the number of "convicted" inmates that follows a surge in the summer months did not occur in 2010, raising questions about changes in the length of sentences for convicted prisoners. Further research into these trends might catalyze the process of developing a reliable indicator for the problems of pretrial detention in Sierra Leone.

A great lathering bar
I am a shower gel user, however, I recently purchased a bar of this soap and was pleasantly surprised at the lather. The lather was just as luxurious as my gels and, frankly, I feel that bar soap cleans better. This soap also has a fresh, clean smell. It doesn't get any better than this.

where would be the best place to get clone trooper armour
and what is the average price?
Would you mind to make a post in the introduction area first ?
Which type of clone are you looking to build ? Are you looking for 501st standarts, or pepakura type (cardboard+resin, bondo) would be enough ?
The best place to look for 501st is CTN, which is official detachment. However I have to warn you that posts like: "I want to be a clone, where can I buy" are not really wlecome there. It's best to do some reading first (I know, may be boring, but it's how it works) and then ask by PMs. Eg. someone has a WIP and you like his armor etc. so you ask where he got it.
And just to warn you- armor is not cheap and is really time consuming. Think that around 1k$ for budget will be enough, but if you look for quality, then it's def. more.

Hans Brinker, or The Silver Skates
Hans Brinker, or The Silver Skates (full title: Hans Brinker; or, the Silver Skates: A Story of Life in Holland) is a novel by American author Mary Mapes Dodge, first published in 1865. The novel takes place in the Netherlands and is a colorful fictional portrait of early 19th-century Dutch life, as well as a tale of youthful honor.
The book's title refers to the beautiful silver skates to be awarded to the winner of the ice-skating race Hans Brinker hopes to enter. The novel introduced the sport of Dutch speed skating to Americans, and in U.S. media Hans Brinker is still considered the prototypical speed skater.[1]
The book is also notable for popularizing the story of the little Dutch boy who plugs a dike with his finger.
Mary Mapes Dodge, who never visited the Netherlands until after the novel was published, wrote the novel at age 34. She was inspired by her reading of John L. Motley's lengthy, multi-volume history works: The Rise of the Dutch Republic (1856), and History of the United Netherlands (1860-1867).[2] Dodge subsequently did further bibliographical research into the country. She also received much firsthand information about Dutch life from her immigrant Dutch neighbors, the Scharffs,[3] and Dodge noted in her preface to the 1875 edition of the book that the story of Hans Brinker's father was "founded strictly upon fact".[4]
Full of Dutch cultural and historical information, the book became an instant bestseller, outselling all other books in its first year of publication except Charles Dickens' Our Mutual Friend.[3] The novel has since been continuously in print, most often in multiple editions and formats, and remains a children's classic.[5]
In Holland, poor but industrious and honorable 15-year-old Hans Brinker and his younger sister Gretel yearn to participate in December's great ice skating race on the canal. They have little chance of doing well on their handmade wooden skates, but the prospect of the race and the prize of the silver skates excites them and fires their dreams.
Hans' father, Raff Brinker, is sick and amnesiac, with violent episodes, because of a head injury caused by a fall from a dike, and he cannot work. Mrs. Brinker, Hans, and Gretel must all work to support the family and are looked down upon in the community because of their low income and poor status. Hans has a chance meeting with the famous surgeon Dr. Boekman and begs him to treat their father, but the doctor is expensive and gruff in nature following the loss of his wife and disappearance of his son. Eventually, Dr. Boekman is persuaded to examine the Brinkers' father. He diagnoses pressure on the brain, which can be cured by a risky and expensive operation involving trephining.
Hans offers his own money, saved in the hope of buying steel skates, to the doctor to pay for his father's operation. Touched by this gesture, Dr. Boekman provides the surgery for free, and Hans is able to buy good skates for both himself and Gretel to skate in the race. Gretel wins the girls' race, but Hans lets a friend — who needs it more — win the precious prize, the Silver Skates, in the boys' race.
Mr. Brinker's operation is successful, and he is restored to health and memory. Dr. Boekman is also changed, losing his gruff ways, thanks in part to being able to be reunited with his lost son through the unlikely aid of Mr. Brinker. The Brinkers' fortunes are changed further by the almost miraculous recovery of Mr. Brinker's savings, thought lost or stolen ten years ago.
The Brinker parents live a long and happy life. Dr. Boekman helps Hans go to medical school, and Hans becomes a successful doctor. Gretel also grows up to enjoy a happy adult life.
Film adaptations[edit]
Hans Brinker, or The Silver Skates has been adapted into several films and plays, all of which center around the dramatic ice-skating competition as the climax of the story, in keeping with the book. The film adaptations include:
- A 1958 Hallmark Hall of Fame live television musical,[6] starring Tab Hunter as Hans.
- A 1962 made-for-television Disney film,[7][8] starring Rony Zeaner. Shown in two parts in the U.S. on the Walt Disney anthology television series.
- A 1969 NBC made-for-television musical film, called simply Hans Brinker,[9][10] starring Robin Askwith as Hans, Richard Basehart as Dr. Boekman, Eleanor Parker as Dame Brinker, and Cyril Ritchard as Mynheer Kleef the Innkeeper.
- A 1998 very loose modern adaptation or homage, Brink!,[11] a made-for-television Disney Channel film. The story takes place in Los Angeles, California, and centers around competitive inline skating rather than ice skating. It stars Erik von Detten as Andy "Brink" Brinker.
Popular culture: the legend of the boy and the dike[edit]
A short story within the novel has become well known in its own right in American popular culture. The story,[12] read aloud in a schoolroom in England, is about a Dutch boy who saves his country by putting his finger in a leaking dike. The boy stays there all night, in spite of the cold, until the adults of the village find him and make the necessary repairs.
In the book, the boy and the story are called simply "The Hero of Haarlem". Although the hero of the dike-plugging tale remains nameless in the book, Hans Brinker's name has sometimes erroneously been associated with the character.
This small tale within Hans Brinker or The Silver Skates has generated numerous versions and adaptations in American media. Poet Phoebe Cary — at whose New York City literary gatherings Dodge was a regular guest[13] — wrote a lengthy poem about it called "The Leak in the Dike", published posthumously in 1873,[14][15] which has been widely anthologized in books of poetry for schoolchildren.[16] Cary also gave the boy a name: Peter.
The tale has also inspired full-fledged children's books of its own, which include:
- The Hole in the Dike, by Norma Green (1974)
- The Boy Who Held Back the Sea, by Lenny Hort (1987)
Statues of the boy and the dike[edit]
For tourism purposes, statues of the fictional dike-plugging boy have been erected in Dutch locations such as Spaarndam, Madurodam and Harlingen. The statues are sometimes mistakenly titled "Hans Brinker"; others are known as "Peter of Haarlem". The story of the dike-plugging boy is, however, not widely known in the Netherlands — it is a piece of American, rather than Dutch, folklore.[17][18]
Origin of the story of the boy and the dike[edit]
Versions of the story prior to Hans Brinker appear in several English-language publications from 1850 onward, including the following British and American publications:
In the United Kingdom:
- An 1850 edition of Sharpe's London Journal of Entertainment and Instruction: "The Little Hero of Haarlem"[19][20]
- The February 23, 1850, edition of Eliza Cook's Journal: "The Brave Little Hollander"[21]
- The 1855 edition of Beeton's Boy's Own Magazine: "The Little Dutch Hero"[22]
- The 'Sixth' Standard Reader, compiled by J.S. Laurie (1863): "The Little Dutch Hero"[23]
In the U.S.:
- Harper's Magazine, August 1850: "The Little Hero of Haarlem"[24]
- The 1852 edition of The Ladies' Repository: "The Little Hero of Haarlem"[25]
- In 1854, Literary Gem: Van Court's New Monthly Magazine: "The Little Hero of Haarlem"[26]
- Julia Matilda Olin's 1856 book, A Winter at Wood Lawn[27]
- In 1857, McGuffey's New High School Reader for Advanced Classes: "The Little Hero of Haarlem"[28]
- In 1858, The Rhode Island Schoolmaster: "The Boy at the Dike"[29]
- In 1858/1859, Sargent's School Monthly: "The Boy at the Dike"[30]
The actual authorship and genesis of the story of the boy and the dike is currently unknown, but it is possibly from a hypothetical but unidentified story by French author Eugenie Foa (1796–1852), appearing as an alleged English translation, "The Little Dykeman", in Merry's magazine in 1868.[31][32]
In sum, although Dodge was not the originator of the story of the boy and the dike, the immense popularity of her novel Hans Brinker or The Silver Skates made the story very widely known. The story within a story of the nameless little boy's heroism also parallels and emphasizes Hans Brinker's own heroism in the novel.

Bristol Archives have an index to wills proved in Bristol between 1781 – 1858. There is a good general explanation of what you are likely to find in a will, a couple of examples of wills and the index itself.
Once you have found a will in the index that you would like a copy of you can then email the archives and they will send you back a quote. Sadly they don't accept credit card payment, so I assume they will accept cheques or bank transfers perhaps even debit cards.
The index gives name, parish, occupation & the year the will was proved. Enough to identify if the will is of interest to you.

Wayne State University's story begins in 1868 with the founding of the Detroit Medical College, now the School of Medicine. In 1881, the Detroit Normal Training School was established, which is now the College of Education. The now-iconic Old Main Hall was built in 1896 as Central High School, which began adding college classes in 1913. Those classes evolved into the Detroit Junior College (offering a two-year general education program) in 1917, which became the College of the City of Detroit (with four-year degree programs) in 1923, and now is the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
In 1924, the College of Pharmacy was organized, and six years later the first regular graduate courses were offered in liberal arts and education. Frank Cody became the first president in 1933, with the existing colleges united into a university organization, eventually named Wayne University, taken from Wayne County in honor of General Anthony Wayne.
Wayne University continued to grow, adding the School of Social Work, the Law School, and the School of Business Administration. In 1956, it was renamed Wayne State University. In 1963, Wayne State was designated one of Michigan's three constitutionally established universities.

For more stories of families living with inherited and endocrine myopathies, see our stories on Strongly, the MDA Blog, or see inherited and endocrine myopathies stories on The Mighty.
Dear Friends:
When I was in my early teens, I was having an ice cream at the mall with some friends, and suddenly I couldn't move a muscle. The paramedics and the fire department came, and I had to be wheeled out on a stretcher. The doctors, my parents and friends were baffled by what had happened. Many of the doctors doubted there was anything wrong with me. I had similar attacks over the years. Finally, it was found that I had hyperkalemic periodic paralysis, one of the myopathies described on this website.
If you've recently found out you have an inheritable myopathy, you understand what my family and I went through. Because of the rarity of these diseases, your primary physician may not be aware that many of these myopathies can be managed with medication, or changes in diet and exercise. This is why it's very important that you get all the information you can about your disorder. This website will help you get started.
Learning that you or your child has a rare myopathy can be frightening and confusing. Some people may think you're lazy or mentally unbalanced, and that can hurt. One thing you can be sure of is that your disorder wasn't caused by anything you or your parents did, and you didn't catch it from anyone. As this website explains, each inheritable myopathy is caused by a very uncommon genetic defect that people often don't even know they have. (Two of the myopathies aren't inheritable; they're caused by thyroid imbalances that can occur for no known reason.)
I've had to make many adjustments to living with my myopathy. I know what foods and activities can trigger an attack. With a balanced diet keeping my potassium down and my body hydrated, I can exercise and live a full life. I have a supportive husband who's knowledgeable about my hyperKPP, and we have two healthy children. These victories were possible with the assistance of caring doctors I found through the Muscular Dystrophy Association. MDA also has provided endless support and information.
Like my hyperKPP, many myopathies can be controlled so that they cause very little limitation on your life. But, if you have one of the myopathies that has more disabling effects, you can be sure that MDA is your best ally — helping you to find appropriate therapists, and to locate and repair important assistive devices.
And today, people with disabilities have many opportunities to develop and use their abilities. Federal law guarantees us a public education, equal employment opportunity and access to public places. Computers and other technological advances help us to move around, communicate and work.
This website will give you the basic facts about the inherited and endocrine myopathies, and MDA will help you answer all your questions as they arise. As you face the challenges ahead, please be assured that we're making rapid progress toward better treatments and cures. And remember, you're not alone.

Dear Mr. Gates:
I watched your recent appearance on the Jon Stewart show where you described the work of the Gates Foundation in the area of education. You commented the arrival of Charter Schools is the first time we have had real experimentation in the field of education. Wow! You are among the most intelligent people in America, but that comment reveals your complete ignorance concerning the field of education. Then again, when President Obama appoints his basketball buddy, Arne Duncan as Secretary of Education despite never having taught school, what should one expect concerning what leaders of America know or think about education.
Mr. Gates you obviously do not know anything about education innovation during the Progressive movement. I attended an experimental Progressive school in the slums of the Bronx during the thirties and forties. In our junior high school, students handled all discipline problems through a student court and teachers stayed out of the way. Each child, whether on an academic or vocational track, spent half a day learning a trade. I could have left school after the ninth grade and obtained a job in a print shop. In class, the main mode of instruction was group work.
I was a teacher during the sixties and taught social studies in high school. After the Russians sent a space ship into space-Sputnik– President Eisenhower demanded changes in science and math. Leading biologists, math experts, physics experts, etc.. were brought together to create new science and math courses. I witnessed second graders in slum schools in St. Louis doing advanced math. In 1966, there were 64 different experimental groups working to create social studies materials that allowed students to learn through an inquiry method. There were similar programs in English. My students at Paul Schreiber HS in Port Washington, New York, created the Student Action Movement(SAM) which worked with people in Harlem by participating in rent strikes, they invited former Socialist party candidate for president, Normal Thomas to speak at our school, and they conducted all night discussions on the war in Vietnam. My social studies department offered the first History of Science class ever taught in high school. Tell me, Mr. Gates, are ANY STUDENTS IN YOUR SO CALLED EXPERIMENTAL SCHOOLS DOING ANYTHING ANALOGOUS?
Let me put it this way, Mr. Gates. If a person who fell asleep in 1900 and awoke today, in entering your charter schools would not be surprised. The curriculum is basically the same. Can you explain to me why we have the same curriculum in 2010 that we had in 1900! Mr. Gates, I have the highest respect for you, but you are NOT DOING ANYTHING INNOVATIVE IN THE FIELD OF EDUCATION. YOUR FOUNDATION SUPPORTS THE SAME OLD BORING OUT-OF -DATE CURRICULUM THAT WE HAVE HAD FOR YEARS.
How about bringing together the best minds in America and identifying what should be the 21st century curriculum and how best can it be learned? Do that and you will be innovative!

Paul Weller
Weller's climb back to the top of the charts was not easy. After Polydor rejected the Style Council's fifth, house-influenced album in 1989, Weller broke up the group and lost both his record contract and his publishing deal. Over the next two years, he was in seclusion as he revamped his music. In 1991, he formed the Paul Weller Movement and released "Into Tomorrow" on his own independent label, Freedom High Records. A soulful, gritty neo-psychedelic song that represented a clear break from the Style Council, "Into Tomorrow" reached the U.K. Top 40 that spring, and he supported the single with an international tour, where he worked out the material that comprised his eponymous 1992 solo debut. Recorded with producer Brendan Lynch, Paul Weller was a joyous, soulful return to form that was recorded with several members of the Young Disciples, former Blow Monkey Dr. Robert, and Weller's then-wife, Dee C. Lee. The album debuted at number eight on the U.K. charts, and was received with positive reviews.
Wild Wood, Weller's second solo album, confirmed that the success of his solo debut was no fluke. Recorded with Ocean Colour Scene guitarist Steve Cradock, Wild Wood was a more eclectic and ambitious effort than its predecessor, and it was greeted with enthusiastic reviews, entering the charts at number two upon its fall 1993 release. The album would win the Ivor Novello Award for Outstanding Contemporary Song Collection the following year. Weller supported the album with an extensive tour that featured Cradock as the group's leader; the guitarist's exposure on Wild Wood helped him successfully relaunch Ocean Colour Scene in 1995. At the end of the tour, Weller released the live album Live Wood late in 1994. Preceded by "The Changingman," which became his 17th Top Ten hit, 1995's Stanley Road was his most successful album since the Jam, entering the charts at number one and eventually selling nearly a million copies in the U.K.
By this point, Weller decided to stop attempting to break into the United States market and canceled his North American tour. Of course, he was doing so well in the U.K. that he didn't need to set his sights outside of it. Stanley Road may have been greeted with mixed reviews, but Weller had been re-elevated to his status as an idol, with the press claiming that he was the father of the thriving Brit-pop movement, and artists like Noel Gallagher of Oasis singing his praises. In fact, while neither artist released a new album in 1996, Weller's and Gallagher's influence was felt throughout the British music scene, as '60s roots-oriented bands like Ocean Colour Scene, Cast, and Kula Shaker became the most popular groups in the U.K.
Weller returned in the summer of 1997 with Heavy Soul. Modern Classics: Greatest Hits followed a year later. Heliocentric -- which at the time of its release he claimed was his final studio effort -- appeared in the spring of 2000. The live record Days of Speed followed in 2001, and he released his sixth studio album, Illumination, in 2002. A collection of covers called Studio 150 appeared in 2004, followed by an all-new studio release, As Is Now, in October of 2005 on Yep Roc. Released in 2006, Catch-Flame! Live at the Alexandra Palace preceded Yep Roc's mammoth Hit Parade box set. It was followed in 2008 by 22 Dreams, a two-disc studio epic that managed to touch on all of Weller's myriad influences. His tenth solo album, Wake Up the Nation, was released in 2010 and it proved another success, earning a nomination for the Mercury Music Prize.
Weller's next album, Sonik Kicks, arrived in the spring of 2012; it debuted at number one in the U.K. and was eventually certified silver. The summer of 2014 brought More Modern Classics, a second solo hits compilation that rounded up the singles Weller released after Heavy Soul. The next spring, Weller returned with his 12th solo album, the lush, spacy Saturn's Pattern; critically acclaimed, it went to number two in the U.K. and was also certified silver. Weller added another string to his bow in 2017 with the release of his first motion picture score, for the low-budget drama Jawbone, a biopic of former British youth boxing champion Jimmy McCabe. Not long afterward, Weller delivered his 13th album, the soulful A Kind Revolution, which featured cameos by Robert Wyatt and Boy George. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Men's Soccer Tripped Up by Northern Illinois, 2-1
DeKALB, Ill. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – Lawrence Talery (Coon Rapids, Minn.) helped put the Green Bay men's soccer team on the board first, but the squad was unable to maintain the lead as Northern Illinois rallied for a 2-1 win in the final game of the NIU adidas Invite on Sunday afternoon.
With the loss the Phoenix dropped to 3-2-1, while the Huskies improved to 2-4-0. Despite the loss, Talery and AJ Patterson (Menomonee Falls, Wis.) were tabbed to the all-tournament team for their strong performances over the weekend.
Talery recorded Green Bay's first shot of the match in the 19th minute before playing on an NIU defensive miscue in the 22nd minute to put the Phoenix ahead. With Green Bay threatening, Northern Illinois looked to clear the ball but instead turned the ball over to Talery who collected and tapped it into an open net for a 1-0 advantage.
Green Bay took the lead into a break in addition to a 2-0 edge in corner kicks while shots were even at three.
The home team came out strong in the second half, controlling possession and putting several shots on the board before connecting in the 56th minute. Playing a corner set piece, Sean Totsch settled the second ball on the corner and sent it home to tie the score, 1-1.
Maintaining pressure, Jayson Leseth capitalized on a foul by Green Bay, taking a free kick 35 yards out and sneaking it through the hands of Kyle Ihn (Wales, Wis.) to give the Huskies a 2-1 lead.
Green Bay pressed later in the half with several corner kicks and shots on goal, including one by Sam Krenzien (Wauwatosa, Wis.) that hit the post. However it was not enough as the Phoenix dropped their second-consecutive match.
For the match, NIU led in shots, 10-6, while Green Bay led in corner kicks, 7-4. Ihn played the entire match and made one save, and Krenzien posted a match-high three shots.
The men return to action on Friday at the Evansville Soccer Classic, taking on Eastern Illinois at 5 p.m.

Im looking into buying a new coat this year and wondered which coats you guys like and work well. I love hunting sun shine or complete down pour or blizzard. The coat I have now is more like a sponge then anything else, and so are my gloves.
Which coat do you prefer?
Any good water proof but moveable gloves ?

As we move toward 2012, I can guarantee that many I&O leaders will have reviewed/defined what their strategy priorities are for the coming year, 3 years and maybe 5 years are. Hands up though: Who has had in-depth planning conversations around I&O people skill requirements?
I am not just talking about what technology skills are required to support these strategy initiatives but about I&O professional or soft skills required to ensure that your I&O function survives and prospers during the evolution currently happening in the world of enterprise IT - How many hands are still up?
During a recent Forrester I&O Leadership Council meeting, I led an interactive session based on my recent I&O Council exclusive report entitled "Tomorrow's I&O Leaders Require An Equal Blend Of Technology And Business Acumen." This session utilized the results of an I&O Council Leadership survey to analyze what skills are required by successful I&O leaders and which skills should I&O executives be looking for when recruiting high-performing teams. From a high level the results show the following:
The results may already be pretty clear to you but how will you develop business and industry experience personally? How will you work with HR to ensure that these skills are uncovered during future recruitment processes? Also take a look at the executive-level skill requirements - do you think that these are easily applicable to a CEO role as we progress through this decade?

Are you ready for some football?
Photos by Susan Edens. Submitted on 9/12/2011.
There's a lot that goes into filming a football game! Students in Susan Edens' "Student Producers" class got the chance to use a little of everything they've learned when they packed up their gear on Friday night and headed down the road to Lamar, to cover the Warriors game against Pottsville. The game will air on KUOZ Channel 6 during the week of September 12.
Patrick Otto filmed the action from the crow's nest.
Corey Snyder and Kourtney Risher provided play-by-play and color commentary for the game.
Neil Thompson, Evan Lipschitz and August Laue filmed the game at field level.
Tanner Holman directed the cameras during the game. His job was to help Susan let everyone know what to do during the set up (which usually takes about 2 hours) and the load-out. He also called the camera shots during the game.

Hi there,
I am living in South Africa and am currently trying to decide which TEFL course to do in order to teach English in China. There are a number of language schools in my area which offer TEFL certificates and they all seem to be fairly similar eg 100hrs, similar pricing etc. I am not interested in doing an online course. I have been in contact with English First (EF) who have schools in China and therefore their TEFL course is tailored to suite their curriculum and teaching methods. This will increase my chances of getting employment within the EF organisation, but will it limit my employability with other schools?
Any help or advice would be appreciated.

Re: Newbe with no experience buys big boat
Thanks smackdaddy . . . I may well do that, but I want to be able to get a boat that is NOT a "fixer-upper" like Serenity (don't want to spend two or three years fixing up) and I want to be able to develop an income source, however modest, that doesn't rely on a paycheck from a company (hopefully that income source won't have to be social security!). Even with a nest egg, I know what it feels like to be afloat with NO income source whatsoever, and it's an ugly feeling (to me!). I'm working on establishing myself as a fiction author - but I'm doing it the slow & hard way (taking my time to research and write a first novel) rather than quickly pound-out a story and self-publish it for a buck or two (way too many people already doing that).
Happy New Year,
Re: Newbe with no experience buys big boat

Re: Newbe with no experience buys big boat
I did buy the book and I also found the interactions with the women, particularly the part about Megan, a little depressing. It's not so much a judgement on Glenn or any of them but for me as a reader - I was glad that I am married. I don't think I would fare very well today in the "meet market".
I also wonder if its because the number of women who will cruise on a sailboat is a very small slice of the population. It would be like hitting the lottery to find a woman who is single, not crazy , beautiful and likes to sail.
For whatever reason, I think the part about rejecting Megan came across as particularly tough, especially the skimpy night gown scene. I think most guys reading that would imagine that silent rejection. Not realistic, but the readers imagination works that way. That part of the book could have used a bit more sympathy and some dialogue.
Still, it was a great read. I enjoyed it and imagined myself along for the trip so you did a good job. I hope you post a link to your new book when you get it published.
Re: Newbe with no experience buys big boat
Glen - buy another boat dammit! I wanna see another composter explosion.
Re: Newbe with no experience buys big boat
OK, I get it.
Best of luck writing fiction novels, Glen. I almost never care to read them, but they seem to sell.
Re: Newbe with no experience buys big boat
Krisscross, I act fine. For most of my life I've held public contact jobs that require a fairly adequate personality (instructor, sales, etc.)! Most people who know me think I'm a fine and empathetic and courteous person. But I like pretty women (or those who are pretty to me). And here is a fact: a pretty woman will get the most handsome and physically fit man she can get. If one doesn't work, she will move on to the next. Yes, looks matter. They matter very much! There's no getting around it.
Look, I'm over this stuff. The events of the book occurred over ten years ago. I have my health, my friends, family, financial security, and I'm looking forward to establishing a reputation as a fiction author. Many people who know me (married people!) say, "I'd give anything to have your life." It's a pretty good life, with lots of freedom. I'm happy and satisfied with it. No, I am not willing to "settle" for a woman for whom I am not sexually attracted. My life is no less for not wanting to do that. In short, it is quite feasible for a man to live a good and productive life without having to mold his existence around a woman.
Thanks again for your input,
Happy New Year!
Re: Newbe with no experience buys big boat
Glen, if that is the case, I stand corrected. Somehow I missed that in your book, or - as you say - it was a part not well described. Still, when it comes to describing women and your experiences with them, I got the impression that you lay your bad luck with them squarely on your looks. Sure, for some 95% of women looks make or break the deal and they can't help it. But I wonder if part of your problem is the way you act around them. And that is something you can learn to be better at. But you might have to practice it on 'less then your ideal' girls. Remember, while wolves prefer to hunt deer, they learn their skills catching mice.
You have a good job, make decent money, you are a smart guy, your not a loser - there are many decent looking women who would give you a chance. Who knows, eventually you might even snag a real prize catch. But you have to practice catching mice first.
Glad to hear you have not given up on sailing. I'm sure this time around you will be much smarter in your choices and expectations. Same with women: one ugly but thorough experience will teach you a lot.
Re: Newbe with no experience buys big boat
I'm glad to hear you enjoyed Breaking Seas, but I have to disagree with your judgment on how I treated Megan (not her real name). This is probably due to how I wrote the final scene between her and I. In my inexperience as a writer, I didn't write the scene clearly enough to get across to some readers what happened.
It was not a "silent rejection" at all. If you re-read that last scene between us, I do mention that I tried to explain my feelings to her as tactfully as I knew how, but her reaction was violent and abusive. For example, she insulted me and called me names, while I had always been polite and friendly to her.
When I was writing that scene (when Joyce leaves us alone on the boat and Megan appears in a skimpy nightgown before dinner) I tried to put down the conversation between us but it sounded all wrong to me. I couldn't figure out how to do it right, convey her reaction. So I condensed it a bit, then went right to the following morning.
You can debate that this was poor narrative technique and maybe you're right, but I didn't have the skill to do it otherwise - I believed it was an effective compromise.
Anyhow, from my perspective, I was polite to Megan 100-percent of the time, without ever a single unkind word passing my lips. I did not tell her I found her completely unattractive, even though that was the case. I believed that if I continued to treat her nicely but platonically (as I would a sister or a female cousin or adult niece) she would understand and behave in a mature manner.
When the time came that I had to explain to her, carefully and tactfully, that I wanted to keep our relationship friendly but platonic, and I valued her as a sailing partner, she would not accept that and she reacted as a child would.
Some people (not necessarily you!) will refuse to accept this and come back at me, "Too bad, you're the man, it was your obligation to accept her as a sexual partner if that was her choice, and if you rejected her that was a cruel and inhuman thing to do!"
If that's your position, I can't change your mind.
One more thing: note that when I discussed my own situation, I took a mature and realistic view. I admitted that I was a short and unathletic man and I was pretty picky about my dates, when I could get them. I accepted this and I did not call the women who rejected me "cruel" or even "shallow" - I simply accepted it and went from there.
Hope that helps -
Again, thanks for your kind words about the book. I finished a novel this year - I'm going to revise it and find a publisher. Nothing about sailing, but it's an adventure story all the same.
Best regards,
Re: Newbe with no experience buys big boat
Glen, I bought your book a while ago, but only read it recently over about weeks time.
I liked it a lot. Very honest account, well written, lots of good info and ideas for less experienced sailors, good sense of humor. Money well spent.
But... if you don't mind me being honest, the way you treated "Megan" struck me as really cold. Sure she was fat and ugly, I can understand why you did not want to get involved with her romantically. But she was a good crew to you and a fellow human being. She put herself out there for you, willing to offer you what we all cherish most, a gift of our true companionship. Yet, you showed her no heart, and no respect. You did not even want to talk to her about it, choosing instead a silent rejection. You showed her about as much heart and respect as all these pretty women who did a drive-by rejection, or equivalent, on you. Dude, that is wrong. Of all the people in the world, one would think that you knew how it feels to be rejected that way.
Most of the time folks get what they deserve. And unless we learn how to treat others with kindness and respect, other people will not treat us that way. The way I see it, "Megan" was the big test for you when it comes to women, and you, my friend, failed that test. I'm sure you don't give a hoot about an advice on life from some unknown dude, but here it is:
Treat others like you would want to be treated if you were in their place.
Fat and ugly people have feelings too.

Those hose clamps come in handy - nice to have a box of various sizes. We used black rubber hose on Serenity.

Well this is more of an info thing then a question but please comment if you have useful info.
Just found out about this today.
I've always heard an SBR was exempt from 922r regs, but it seems that was changed in '09.

Well it looks like I can take the day off, but I will be babysitting the kid until nearly 10pm at her mom's place tonight, so I will be driving out in the dark late tonight or really early in the AM to Mud Lake and then decide about just where I am going to be setting up the boat in the grass - Gull lake to take advantage of the Swan lake shootfests or get closer to them at Leaf lake.
That Gull lake area just may be the ticket if there are enough birds out there, but with all this water from the rain the birds could be anywhere this early in the season.
Good luck to the rest of you if you are going out.

Emerging service delivery models are changing the nature of the application lifecycle. Cloud computing and managed services promise substantial cost and flexibility benefits, but make the performance of applications dependent on services outside the enterprise. Highly virtualized, dynamic infrastructures make it difficult to predict or assess exactly what makes up the production environments. As a result, offline testing models are becoming obsolete and meaningful metrics can only come from real-world, production environments. Organizations once solely dependent on synthetic tests are challenged to respond to this change.
In this segment, learn how to plan and deploy applications and services on time and on budget.
Panelists at this event included: Chris Hindy - Senior Manager, Service Assurance Delivery at Research In Motion, Jim French - Distinguished Engineer, Data Center Networking at Cisco, Charlton Gronlund - Vice President, Sales Quality, Risk and Management at SAP, and Chris Cook - General Manager, Assurance CSU at CA Technologies.
