Grenville is a village municipality in the Argenteuil Regional County Municipality of the Laurentides region of Quebec, Canada. It is located opposite Hawkesbury, Ontario, on the Ottawa River.
Although Grenville was already shown on the Gale and Duberger Map of 1795, it was not until January 28, 1808, that Grenville Township was officially established; the township's name commemorated Lord George Grenville. Two years later, in 1810, the first French and English settlers arrived in the area.[4][5]
Its strategic location on the Ottawa River and the construction of the Carillon Canal in 1819 led to the town's real growth.[6] In 1826 the first general store opened and in 1828, the first school. In 1830 "Kingsey" sawmill was built, and a flour mill was added in 1838. In 1857 construction began on the Carillon and Grenville Railway, which was completed six years later.[5]
In 1861 the village and its surroundings had about 900 inhabitants. On January 1, 1876, the Village Municipality of Grenville was formed at which time it exceeded one thousand persons.[6]
In 1910 the Carillon and Grenville Railway was abandoned and later on dismantled.[5]
Grenville Canal[edit]
The Grenville Canal, the Chute-à-Blondeau Canal, and the Carillon Canal were built to navigate the Long Sault Rapids on the Ottawa River which stretched for 21 kilometers (13 mi) from Carillon to Grenville. The impetus for these canals was the War of 1812. During this war, attacks along the Saint Lawrence River jeopardized the communication lines between Kingston and Montreal, the two main military positions of Upper and Lower Canada. The Ottawa River Canal and the Rideau Canal were thus designed as an alternative military supply route in the event of war with the Americans.[7][8]
Work on the canal began in 1818 with the construction of a storage warehouse. In 1819 Captain Henry Vernet of the Royal Engineers arrived from Britain to lead the construction of the project. Hundreds of Irish immigrants and French Canadians were used to excavate the canal under the direction of a hundred British soldiers. In 1833 the Grenville Canal was completed with an original length of 9.5 kilometers (5.9 mi) and the entire network on the Ottawa River, including the 11 locks, was not fully completed until about 1843.[9]
The military requirements decided all aspects of the canal. The size of the locks were set to 134 feet (41 m) long, 33 feet (10 m) wide, and only 5 feet (1.5 m) deep at the thresholds. These dimensions, standards adopted for military use, were insufficient for any commercial use.[9] Forestry had become the main economic activity in this region, and from 1867, local business people demanded that the government carry out improvements to the network because the original canal network had become outdated. In 1870 the Canals Commission recommended making the Ottawa River deeper between Lachine and Ottawa. Therefore, between 1873 and 1882, the Grenville and Carillon Canals were enlarged (the dam built upstream from the village of Carillon raised the level of the Ottawa River at Chute-à-Blondeau, making the need for a lock there no longer necessary).[7]
Further changes were made from 1959 to 1963 with the construction of the Carillon hydroelectric dam and a modern 20 meters (66 ft) high lock at Carillon. This work substantially and irreversibly changed the canal network. The dam raised the water level by over 62 feet (19 m) at Carillon and over 9 feet (2.7 m) at Grenville. The new water level flooded Greece's Point and its surroundings several feet underwater and inundated the rapids of Long-Sault, transforming them into calm water.[9] Shortly afterwards, the steel swing bridge and canal locks were dismantled.[5]

I also have SP-101 on a shelf in office loaded. A drawer in office where my fanny pack lives has Bersa Thunder living within - loaded.
In safe - hmmm well - too many to count! 629 - loaded. P series (95 and 97) loaded tho not chambered. SW99 - loaded tho not chambered. BHP - loaded but not chambered.
AK - loaded (but not chambered). CX-4 Storm - loaded but not chambered.
Haha - sounds crazy - me paranoid - nah!! Biggrin:

Micropayment Artwork Takes 43 Years To Complete
Since 2009, artist Christin Lahr has creatively employed the writings of Karl Marx to raise awareness over fiscal irresponsibility in Germany.
Berlin's 2011 Transmediale award nominees included Christin Lahr, for her historically conscious piece referencing German philosopher/economist Karl Marx. Since May 25, 2009, the artist has transferred one cent to the German Federal Ministry of Finance. In the 'reason for payment' box, the author transcribes 108 characters of Karl Marx's Capital, Volume 1. The book, in its entirety, will be transferred in 43 years.
The work is considered a gift to the German people, appointed to the budget of Federal Republic of German, securely archived and distributed by a group of elected representatives. Every transfer is documented by screenshot, signed, and transferred to one German citizen.
If it were possible to freeze the present German financial deficit of € 1 746 599 197 210, Lahr's gift would cancel out this amount in approximately 300 years due to the exponential effects of inflation and compound interest rates. The increase in capital value by interest rates, the amount of work, life duration, and cultural and symbolic capital have not been taken into account.

Juddmonte Farms' Champs Elysees should attract the most attention in a five-horse field entered for the $250,000 Jim Murray Memorial Handicap on the Hollywood Park turf May 10. Trainer Bobby Frankel goes for his seventh win in the 14-year history of the grade II event.
The regally-bred Champs Elysees makes his first appearance since a troubled third-place finish in the Santa Anita Handicap (gr. I) March 1. That was the 5-year-old Danehill horse's first try on anything but the turf. Champs Elysees, who is out of Hasili and is a full brother to Dansili, Banks Hill and Intercontinental and a half-brother to Heat Haze, has made three starts in the U.S. since last winter.
The bay finished second to Sunriver in the Hollywood Turf Cup (gr. IT) in his American bow in December, then returned six weeks later to capture the 1 1/4-mile San Marcos (gr. IIT) at Santa Anita. Champs Elysees owns a group III win in France at the 12-furlong distance.
Besides Champs Elysees, Frankel also starts Gary Tanaka's Sudan in the 1 1/2-mile grass test named in memory of the Pulitzer Prize-winning sports columnist for the Los Angeles Times who died in 1998. Though the field is small, it includes a legitimate front-running threat in Boule d'Or and the defending Murray champion, On the Acorn.
Mike Mitchell, who conditions On the Acorn, also entered Church Service, meaning he and Frankel would account for 80% of the field if all start.
Although he has dominated the Murray since its inception, Frankel is seeking his first win in the race since 2003. Juddmonte has four victories in the Murray.
In the Big 'Cap, Champs Elysees broke slowly from the rail and raced at the back of the field for most of the 1 1/4-mile journey before rallying in the stretch along the inside, where he was stopped with an eighth of a mile to go. Once he got room, he continued to make progress to notch the show spot, 3 1/2 lengths behind the victorious Heatseeker.
Ramon Dominguez, who rode Champs Elysees for the first time in the Santa Anita, is due from Maryland to take up the mount once again. Overall, the English-bred Champs Elysees has a 3-5-4 mark in 14 starts and earnings of $520,647.
The Irish-bred Sudan tries to get back into winning form following a last-place finish in the San Luis Obispo Handicap (gr. IIT) at Santa Anita in February, his only U.S. start. A grade I winner in Italy last June, the 5-year-old horse by Peintre Celebre has turned in poor efforts in back-to-back races since.
On the Acorn has struggled in his three starts in 2008 since winning the Murray a year ago. Most recently, in the about 1 3/4-mile San Juan Capistrano Invitational Handicap (gr. IIT) April 20, the Mitchell-trained 7-year-old gelding launched a nice four-wide bid in the stretch but flattened out after getting close approaching the final furlong and finished fourth, four lengths behind another Mitchell trainee, the streaking Big Booster.
The English-bred stayer could become the first repeat winner of the Jim Murray.
"On the Acorn is doing super, better than last year," Mitchell said May 7. "But I have a lot of respect for Bobby Frankel's horse (Champs Elysees). He's a good horse, a very good horse."
Mitchell named Brice Blanc to ride On the Acorn, who was ridden by Victor Espinoza in his last five starts, including the Jim Murray victory. Blanc has ridden the English-bred five times, winning three times. On the Acorn leads the field in earnings with $593,812 while winning seven times in 31 starts.
Mitchell also entered Church Service with Espinoza, though he's not certain to start him.
Beaten a nose by Niagara Causeway after closing fast in a grade III race on Santa Anita's synthetic surface March 29, Church Service switches back to the turf. The 5-year-old Pulpit gelding has won three times in 15 starts on grass and ran second to Spring House in the recent San Luis Obispo.
"I don't know whether I'm going to run Church Service there or in the Dallas Turf Cup (May 26 at Lone Star Park)," said Mitchell. "I don't know if I want to run both horses against Bobby. I'm going to talk it over with the owners the next couple of days."
Church Service, claimed by Mitchell three races back for $50,000 in January, finished last of six in the Jim Murray last year for trainer Lisa Lewis.
A legitimate threat to make all is the Irish-bred Boule d'Or, who left the field by more than 10 lengths in the 1 1/2-mile San Luis Rey Handicap (gr. IIT) March 22 at Santa Anita and held on to win by three quarters of a length.
Jeff Mullins trains the 7-year-old for the partnership of Bone, Johnson and Robinson, who claimed Boule d'Or from Paddy Gallagher for $50,000 two months prior to the San Luis Rey. Boule d'Or has seven lifetime wins in 48 starts and earnings of $544,981.

[USL PRO: Quarterfinals] No. 5 seed Charlotte, a 3-1 winner at Harrisburg Saturday afternoon, joined the top three seeds, Richmond, Orlando City and Charleston, in the USL PRO semifinals.
No. 1 seed Richmond had beaten the Dayton Dutch Lions, 3-2 and 5-2, in the regular season but the Kickers only managed a 1-0 win Saturday night thanks to MLS
veteran Joseph Ngwenya's second-half goal before 4,265 fans at City Stadium. Andrew Dysktra, who is on loan from D.C.
United, preserved the win with a save on Joseph Broekhuizen's shot in the 87th minute.
Orlando City led the Pittsburgh Riverhounds, 2-0,
after five minutes and cruised to a 5-0 win before 8,486 fans at the Florida Citrus Bowl. Long Tan had the first of two goals in the third minute, and Renan Boufleur made it 2-0 two minutes later. Dennis Chin and Anthony Pulis also
scored for Orlando.
Goals by Dane Kelly and Mike Azira, both on counterattacks, on either side of the
break proved to be enough for defending champion Charleston in its 2-1 victory over the Los Angeles Blues. Matt Fondy had hit the post in the 21st minute for
Blues, whose only goal was scored by Mohammed Roknipour late in the game.
Christian Ramirez and Jorge Herrera scored for Charlotte to stake it to a 2-0 lead before Lucky Mkosana pulled a goal back for the City Islanders in
the 85th minute. Samuel Asante's goal in stoppage time wrapped up the win for the Eagles.

"We're concerned that PRO's pattern of unfair labor practices could continue, and continue to hamper negotiations. While we have been making progress in both economic and non-economic categories, there are still a bunch of areas where we're not at the finish line. Our concern is that [PRO] will try to drag this out as long as possible, and not get anywhere."

Nice set of pipes installed well, hose clamps for the heat shields are so so, (broke two of them!)
This exhaust does sound good when it is not rattling. Poor shield setup, poor welding led to 3 of the 4 tabs to seperate from the shield. Look Great Though....
The exhaust went on easy, it looks & sounds great. Stu!
very good easy to install, every thing was there. Shipping was in greate time
Great item. Quick delivery. The right part for the right bike. Before the purchase I spoke to a customer representative and she guided me towards the purchase. Thanks for you patience.
Sound good, only negative is when the pipe clams that attach the heat shield have the welds break and heat shield launches airborne after one year of having these pipes. Bummed that the warranty is only 90 days for defects.

Officer Peter Rancourt says he tried to stop a vehicle on a routine traffic stop when a man jumped from the vehicle and ran into the woods.
Rancourt says the man was later identified as Bruce Patrick Herbert, who happens to be wanted on six outstanding warrants for such things as burglary, theft and bail violations.
It's believed Herbert is still in the Brewer area.
Brewer police say he's not considered violent, and ask that if you see Herbert to call Brewer police at 989-7000.

The six most underused barrier shrubs
Outside of grass care and tree selection, the most frequent questions I get on GardenLine and through emails are about barrier shrubs.
They are usually about a need to block views or to create a boundary between properties.
Most people use old standards like wax-leaf ligustrums, red-tip photinias and oleanders to achieve those goals, but I usually suggest what I believe to be some of the most underutilized shrubbery.
While I hope some listeners will take a break from those standbys, don't assume I hold any disdain for them. I still love them ... Oleanders in particular, since they are used with our Galveston neighbors. But as hedgerows, they are simply overused.
I've said on GardenLine that if more listeners picked from my less-employed shrubs, I might not have many questions to answer each week. That's because my recommended plants don't have many problems with insects or diseases in our climate.
So, below I hope to send you off well-armed when you're looking for tall shrubs that can grow above a fence line in speedy fashion. And I've included a couple that aren't so tall. But all are fairly care-free and only need pruning maybe once a year.
ELAEAGNUS a.k.a. Russian Olive (Elaeagnus angustifoli)- If you're looking for a screen plant, look no further. The elaeagnus (also spelled eleagnus) makes a perfect hedgerow that doubles as a screen plant rather quickly. More importantly for our region, it is also known to be drought-tolerant, and it can seemingly put up with water and temperature extremes that most shrubs can't handle. In fact, once established for about two years, it can actually survive with no additional irrigation. It's is also a sun-loving plant. Its silvery leaves reflect sunlight to give the plant a special sparkle. I consider this a fence line barrier shrub because it can definitely reach 10-12 feet in the first few years.
TEXAS WAX MYRTLE (Myrica cerifera) - If you've been around The Woodlands or Conroe, you've seen and probably smelled the Texas wax myrtle. I can't decide what I like best about it - the expedient growth, the wonderful scent, or its imperviousness to disease. The scent varies, but in most cases has sort of a spicy-orange aroma. The wax myrtle always seems to have lustrous evergreen leaves, and can seemingly grow a couple of feet every year. It can be shaped, but when left alone it provides a random hedge like no other. And this plant can be grown in total sun or filtered light. Although people really want this one to be taller than 10-12 feet and above the fence line or act as a stand-alone barrier, it's critical to prune them two to three times a year so they thicken up. Otherwise, they become extraordinarily "leggy."
COPPERTONE LOQUAT- This is a plant that gets confused with red tips, but doesn't have the same disease problems. The coppertone loquat was derived from the bronze loquat, which has a rather coppery bronze-looking leaf at the top, ala red-tip photinia. Coppertone loquats also have a creamy-white burst of flowers in early spring. And while they can be trained on espaliers and must be in totally sunny, warm environments, they should not be on a hot, west-facing wall. I think they work best up against wooden fences or as a medium-height shrub on property lines. I see it in Houston mostly as a 3-4 foot barrier between sidewalks and parking lots.
NEEDLEPOINT HOLLY (Ilex cornuta) and NELLIE STEVENS HOLLY - This is another all-purpose plant that can survive shade or sun. But, the best thing about needlepoint hollies is that they don't hurt you the way old-fashioned holly bushes do. Needlepoint hollies only have one point on the very end and are infinitely softer than their more painful cousin. It's often mistaken for the burford holly, another close cousin. But the needlepoint has a more supple leaf than the burford. To tell the difference, note that the burford leaf is cupped down. Some people often call the needlepoint (I think mistakenly) a Chinese holly. Nevertheless, it makes a great hedge shrub. They are at their best when pruned once a year to approximately 4-5 feet. The Nellie Stevens holly is a great "accent" tree that won't get too big. It also produces berries that attract birds. But the Nellie Stevens is almost always a small tree - the needlepoint Holly is a medium-sized shrub.
NATAL PLUM (Carissa macrocarpa) - The natal plum has been around for a while, but I still think it's a forgotten plant. It is a fast-growing, upright, rounding shrub with beautiful leathery, rich, green leaves and small spines. The natal plum also has fragrant, white flowers that look hauntingly like jasmine flowers. But natal plums also have a unique red, plum-shaped edible fruit. These wonderful babies tolerate poor soil, heat and drought. Problem is (Yep, you knew there had to be a problem) that they just aren't that readily available. These can be kept the shortest of any hedgerow too - three feet sometimes. And like coppertone loquats, they are best used as a shorter barrier along sidewalks, streets, driveways, parking lots, and adjacent properties. It also features some really sharp needles that might keep snoopy neighbors (Mrs. Kravitz) from passing through.
JAPANESE BLUEBERRY (Elaeocarpus decipiens) - By plant industry standards, this is still a relative newcomer. It has been solid in the Houston market for close to 20 years, but that's a far shorter time than all the other shrubs. That's why I think it's still somewhat underused. Despite its name, the Japanese blueberry tree, Shogun Series is not a fruit-producer, so just wipe that out of your head now. From a distance it looks similar to a coppertone loquat, but it grows more upright. It's very popular in the western states as a street, lawn or park tree with bronzy new growth, then glossy green foliage. Older leaves produce an ornamental effect as they turn bright red before dropping. It has numerous, tiny, scented white flowers and blue-black, olive-like fruit in winter. Yes, this is an evergreen that requires full sun. It can reach 35 feet tall and 20 feet wide, but with consistent pruning you can keep it shorter and thinner. If you're willing to trim it back from the top once or twice a year, you can make a Japanese blueberry a 15-foot-tall hedgerow. Even if you never prune the top, as long as you prune the sides and plant them fairly close together, they can grow to be the tallest of the barrier shrubs I recommend.

About Major Chapman Grant
Chapman Grant (March 27, 1887, Salem Center, New York - January 5, 1983, Escondido, California) was an American herpetologist, historian, and publisher. He was the last living grandson of United States President Ulysses S. Grant. He was married and had two children, one of whom survived him.
Chapman Grant was the son of Jesse Root Grant, the youngest son of the 18th President of the United States Ulysses S. Grant. In 1892 he moved to San Diego with his parents. As a child, he spent time at the California Academy of Sciences, where he developed his interest in science. He graduated from Williams College in 1910. He became the assistant curator of entomology at the Children's Museum of the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences in September 1913. In November 1913, he left the museum for a military career beginning on the Mexican border. He was commissioned a 2nd Lieutenant in the 14th U.S. Cavalry. He married Mabel Lillian Pennebacker in December 1913. He continued his scientific studies while in the Army. When he was assigned as commandant of the Reserve Officers' Training Corps at the University of Wichita in the 1930s, he wrote scientific papers on herpetology and was curator at the Arkansas Valley Museum and Historical Society. He retired with a rank of major.
In the 1930s and 1950s several expeditions for the San Diego Museum of Natural History and the University of Illinois Museum of Natural History led him to the study of the Caribbean herpetofauna where he discovered and described fifteen new species, including Blue Iguana, Cotton Ginner Gecko, Gaige's Dwarf Gecko, Klauber's Dwarf Gecko, Nichols' Dwarf Gecko, Roosevelt's Dwarf Gecko, Townsend's Dwarf Gecko, Cook's Anole, Culebra Island Giant Anole, Cochran's Croaking Gecko, Web-footed Coqui, Cook's Robber Frog and the Whistling Coqui.
In 1932 he established the magazine Herpetologica, the quarterly journal of the Herpetologists' League, an association of several notable herpetologists in the USA, which he co-founded in 1936. He was also the publisher of a second magazine - Scientists Forum.
In 1982 the Major Chapman Grant Hall of Ecology in the Museum of Natural History in San Diego was named in honour of him. In 1983 he died at the age of 95 in a nursing home. He left one son - Ulysses S. Grant V (b. 20 September 1920).

The objective of this study was to determine the mesh contracture, adhesion, tissue ingrowth, and histologic characteristics of a novel absorbable barrier mesh (Ventrio(™) ST Hernia Patch) compared to existing permanent (Ventrio(™) Hernia Patch) and absorbable barrier meshes (Sepramesh(™) IP Composite and PROCEED(™) Surgical Mesh).
Standard laparoscopic technique was utilized to bilaterally implant meshes in 20 female Yorkshire pigs (n = 5 pigs/group). Meshes were fixated to the intact peritoneum with SorbaFix(™) absorbable fixation devices. Mesh contracture, adhesion coverage, and adhesion tenacity were evaluated after 4 weeks. T-Peel testing and hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining were utilized to assess tissue ingrowth and host response.
A significantly greater percent area contracture was demonstrated for PROCEED(™) (26.9%) compared to Ventrio(™) ST (8.8%), Ventrio(™) (14.5%) and Sepramesh(™) (9.2%). Ventrio(™) ST demonstrated similar adhesion area, tenacity, and tissue ingrowth compared to all other meshes. Histological scoring revealed a comparable host inflammatory response for all meshes, with a few exceptions. A greater number of giant cells were observed in Ventrio(™) ST and Sepramesh(™) near the multifilament polyglycolic acid (PGA) fibers; a greater number of macrophages were observed in PROCEED(™) compared to Ventrio(™); and a greater number of neutrophils were observed in PROCEED(™), compared to Sepramesh(™) (P < 0.05). Focal areas of hemorrhage were also observed on the visceral surface of PROCEED(™.)
Ventrio(™) ST Hernia Patch demonstrated comparable contracture, adhesion, tissue ingrowth, and histologic characteristics compared to existing permanent and absorbable barrier meshes. Host inflammatory and fibrotic responses for all four meshes were minimal and representative of a biocompatible response.

Focal adhesion kinase 1 interacts with PAXILLIN and undergoes PHOSPHORYLATION in response to adhesion of cell surface integrins to the EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX. Phosphorylated p125FAK protein binds to a variety of SH2 DOMAIN and SH3 DOMAIN containing proteins and helps regulate CELL ADHESION and CELL MIGRATION.
Dupuytren Contracture
A fibromatosis of the palmar fascia characterized by thickening and contracture of the fibrous bands on the palmar surfaces of the hand and fingers. It arises most commonly in men between the ages of 30 and 50.
Intercellular Adhesion Molecule-1
A cell-surface ligand involved in leukocyte adhesion and inflammation. Its production is induced by gamma-interferon and it is required for neutrophil migration into inflamed tissue.

XM and Sirius: The Battle for Merger Approval

Both companies have a tough crowd to please before their merger can go through
Since the rumors of the XM and Sirius satellite
radio merger were confirmed in 2006
, the two entertainment providers have been met by resistance from the
National Association of Broadcasters (NAB)
. The two providers state that the merger, along with their
proposed a la carte plan
, would drive costs down for consumers, as well as offer more options for content.
However, in the face of the NAB's protests, XM and Sirius aren't the only entities in favor of the merger. The Parents Television Council, a group of lobbyists, feel that the merger would not only benefit consumers with more affordable subscription options, but contends that the proposed a la carte programming can be used to block adult programming, a very favorable option for parents.
The merger still has a few hurdles on the track. The Department of Justice has yet to rule that the merger
does not break anti-monopoly laws
, and this appears to be the backbone of the NAB's case against the providers. The NAB argues that a merger would, contrary to XM and Sirius's plans, eventually drive the cost of programming upward as well as provide fewer program options and less local programming to subscribers.
The second major obstacle lies in FCC approval of the merger. The companies recently convinced former FCC chairman Mark Fowler of their need and he stated in a New York Times article that if the companies "need to combine to be more effective competitors in an audio entertainment marketplace teeming with technological change and innovation, the government should not stand in the way." What remains for the satcasters is convincing the current FCC chairman, Kevin Martin.
In recent interviews, both companies' leaders came across as optimistic of the merger. Mel Karmazin, CEO of Sirius Satellite Radio felt confident that the FCC and DOJ approvals would come, as well as shareholder approval. Gary Parsons, chairman of XM Satellite Radio conveyed that though he feels the merger will be approved, XM does not need the merger – it will be beneficial to the provider, but not necessary in the face of their climbing subscriber growth.
The satcasters' line of reasoning lies in that the merger will allow customers more choice at a better cost, while allowing the companies to be more profitable and move forward with technology and more strongly into other existing markets such as streaming mobile and internet radio. They will need this profit margin and technology to compete with other popular forms of audio entertainment, such as iPods and other portable media devices, as well as terrestrial radio.
The coming months could prove interesting for XM and Sirius as the providers lobby for DOJ and FCC approval with support from various organizations, while the heavyweight NAB collects the opposing view of others to further its case.
"Game reviewers fought each other to write the most glowing coverage possible for the powerhouse Sony, MS systems. Reviewers flipped coins to see who would review the Nintendo Wii. The losers got stuck with the job." -- Andy Marken

THE bar for live gigs by major bands has been set extremely high thanks to
U2's giant claw and Take That's huge robot OM.
Snow Patrol frontman Gary Lightbody has joked that his band will have to
invest in a "giant robot polar bear" to compete when they play their big O2
date next February.
Gary, who has flogged 11million albums with Snow Patrol around the world, has
taken inspiration for his band's forthcoming tour after months on the road
with Bono and seeing Take That's Progress Tour in the summer.
Speaking to announce the band's big 2012 shows, he said: "When U2 took us on
tour in 2005 and then the subsequent three years on the 360 Tour, they
showed us the virtue of a show compared to a gig.
"Even when we were playing bigger gigs around Chasing Cars and Eyes Open, we
were still turning up for gigs like we had just fallen out of the student's
union at 3am.
"We didn't really think about stage presence. We would work out the set list
five minutes before we went on stage in the same clothes we had been wearing
in the pub.
"U2 showed us the approach we should be taking. There should be a show, a
"The old joke is you don't go home humming the lights but at the same time
you've got to have a great spectacle."
And Gary admitted he was bowled over by the Take That shows in the summer —
and it will take a lot to compete.
He joked: "We'll have to come out in LED jackets in a giant robot polar bear.
No, it won't get to that stage but Take That were an unbelievable spectacle.
It was amazing, mindblowing. They just go absolutely mental. I mean the bit
where they are standing on a waterfall?
"The songs are there too. I'm a big Take That fan. I might have been a secret
one when I was a young indie kid but I have always admired Gary Barlow's
Gary and bandmates Jonny Quinn, Nathan Connolly, Paul Wilson and Tom Simpson
release new album Fallen Empires on November 14.
The boys are confident it "is by far the best album" they have ever recorded.
Sounds like they might have enough cash to buy that polar bear soon.
O2 customers can get tickets to see Snow Patrol on their UK tour 48 hours
before general release from 9am on Wednesday, November 9.
To register, text PRIORITY to 2020 or visit o2priority.co.uk/tickets.
Tickets go on sale to the general public from 9am on Friday, November 11.

In fact top-level soccer "is poised to become an even stronger TV draw in hard times when people want cheap entertainment," it adds. The next World Cup is already sold, with soccer's global governing body FIFA budgeting to take $3.2 billion from the competition. UEFA made a net profit close to $400 million from this year's European Championship, and the Champions League will pull in over $1.1 billion this season, with TV deals for the tournament sealed up until 2012. Rights for the English Premier League will soon be sold for the period 2010-13, and at a likely higher price than the last deal.
It quotes Philipp Grothe of the Swiss-based Kentaro agency, which has just struck a six-year deal with the U.S. Soccer Federation to distribute national team matches, as saying that when money is tight, soccer is a reliable commodity. "Only the big live events in sport, i.e. football [soccer], generate the mass audience," Grothe told the agency. "They are the ones delivering to sponsors and broadcasters the big audience numbers."

West Seattle Volleyball wrap up on an amazing season
The volleyball season is over but the state tournament lies ahead and Joe Baleto, WSHS Volleyball Coach offered his thoughts on an amazing season for his team.
"We just wrapped up our last regular season match this last Wednesday the 17th against rival school Chief Sealth,and it was senior night to boot !! We went undefeated in the Metro Sound Division with a perfect record of 12-0,overall we went 12-3. Congrats to the 2012 Metro Sound Division Champs !!!
Baleto acknowledged four seniors Ellen Cleveland, Maddie Collins who according to the coach were instrumental in the success of the volleyball program, both are 3-peat MSD champs and seniors Nanna Darden & Athena Lamyuen.
"Our girls also acknowledged the Sealth seniors that evening too, which I thought was a very class act."
The lady Wildcats will be preparing for the Metro tournament taking place at Chief Sealth on October 27th starting at 11am.
"We will be led by outstanding Junior outside hitter Eastyn Baleto, who has had an incredible year thus far,and will be helped by Sophomore sensation outside hitter Aspen Knowles."
Baleto said that the Metro tournament is considered one of the toughest Leagues to get out of, to qualify for Districts, then on to State. He said that nine out of the last twelve years the 3A State Champ has come from our league.
"We have tough task ahead of us, but I have all the confidence in this team.We will make some noise at METRO's.We need all the support as we continue our journey to the State Tourney."

Hole lotta litigation... It's become mighty tempting to assume that Houston's Manhole doesn't exist anyplace but in court documents. After all, the female-led metal/sludge outfit has seen more action in front of a judge than before paying audiences over the last year.
First and foremost has been the band's ongoing legal tiff with the Los Angeles-based group formerly (or so they say) known as Manhole. Last March, a judge here ordered the California heavy rock outfit to cease using the Manhole name, the trademark of which has been the property of Houstonians Eev Rodriguez and Allison Gibson since 1993. Although officially, the L.A. group has done just that -- changing its name to Tura Santana -- its members and label, Noise Records, continue to diss Rodriguez et al. in public and on the Web. Noise's attorney has appealed the case, which means both parties can look forward to continued hassles in the future.
But the latest affront to Manhole's good name comes from X-rated Internet entrepreneur Seth Warshavsky, who adopted the moniker for his gay porn web site in 1996. Since then, Rodriguez says, she and the others have endured countless jibes from fans who have keyed in www.manhole.com and were met with a sleazy surprise. At the very least, Warshavsky's site prevents the band from having its own web site at that address. At worst, it constitutes yet another case of trademark infringement.
Warshavsky's attorneys contend that trademark infringement shouldn't be an issue because the two Manholes are in entirely different industries. But that argument hasn't held water in the past.

Warshavsky and his Internet Entertainment Group have a history of copyright abuse. Dubbed the virtual Hugh Hefner, the cagey multimillionaire ran afoul of the Hasbro toy and game empire, which protested his unauthorized use of the name Candyland for another such site. (Chutes and ladders, indeed.) Two years ago, he lost that court battle to the tune of unspecified damages. And while hardly an enterprise of Hasbro proportions, Manhole is demanding the same level of justice.
"We are asking that they be forced to change the name," says the band's lawyer, Suzanne Tomkies. "We're asking for damages. And since this is the second time they've infringed on a trademark, we're asking the court to award us their profits."
An injunction hearing was held in Houston circuit court on March 13, its purpose, obviously, to force IEG to rename its web site. At press time, a decision was still pending. In the meantime, Manhole is barely hanging in there as a band, with no shows slated for the future and a lineup that is basically unsound. Needless to say, a court-awarded cool million in restitution from the king of Internet sex could prove to be some pick-me-up.
Raves and wave-offs... Bread-and-butter guitar rock is what The Fringe do best, and on their self-titled debut CD, the seasoned quartet of local music vets spreads it on thick -- with plenty of loose fun to spare. Wisely, they keep the production (the disc was recorded at Sugar Hill Studios) clean and basic, which allows for more than a little spontaneity to seep through. Young at heart and mature in chops, The Fringe is the curious sound of middle age on hold.
Party music of the pharaohs? Hardly, but Sons of Egypt is ambitious nonetheless. The brainchild of local rapper/producers Sherif Zaki and Ahmed Zaki, this CD hammers away at a relentless pace well suited to the back-seat boom box and the dance floor. Its grooves fuse hip-hop, techno, synth-trash and lightweight gangsta rap for a diverting mix that has little, if anything, to do with the merging of East and West. Regardless, the Zakis do get busy.
Release activity... The way I see it, any band brave or stupid enough to label its music "kung-fu fighting, back-stabbing, devil-worshipping, bar-hopping, spine-snapping aggro-rock" deserves admiration, even if it's from a distance. And though I confess that I've never seen Waster Pro, I'd still be inclined to take their word for all of it -- seeing as the quartet is made up of former members of Dixie Waste, as bloodcurdling a heavy-thrash entity as has ever called Houston home. Lately, Waster Pro have been playing around town in support of their just-released 5-Song Demon EP. If you choose to cross paths with them, don't say I didn't warn you.
Etc.... Yet another Houston latecomer to the South by Southwest "in" list: honky-tonker Davin James has been added to the bill at Justice Records' Wednesday night showcase at Stubb's. That makes 16 Austin-bound local acts in all -- just in case anyone's still counting.
Well, it looks like Milton Hopkins is out another regular gig -- for the time being, anyhow. Just when it seemed the Blues Club was finally coming into its own, the classy, intimate joint now finds itself homeless -- and through no fault of its own. The club was subleasing its room (located in the Target shopping center just off the Southwest Freeway) from Eastern Chinese Restaurant. So when Eastern tanked last month, it, in essence, took the Blues Club with it. "[The owner] had a five-year lease and he failed. He went and negotiated a termination with the landlord, and we were left out in the snow," says owner Andy Curley. "A new guy came in and wanted a karaoke bar." No sweat, though. Curley is already scouting locations inside the Loop for a new, larger Blues Club. (H.R.)

Concrete steps
I'm pouring a couple concrete steps as a landing at the base of some outdoor stairs. I was wondering about finishing the riser and the inner seam. Does anyone have any tips on when you can take off the riser form and still work the surface? 30 minutes after a stiff pour perhaps? After it looses its shiny finish? Of course if you take it off too soon it might slump and you have a disaster on you hands.
Rip a 45° on the bottom of the riser- you can finish the tread w/o pulling the riser.
Here's an appearance trick. Smoothly apply visqueen to the inside (concrete side) of the riser form, and it will come off, after it dries, leaving the riser finished like it was glass.
Ayuh,... Or, pull the forms the followin' mornin'...
Then you can finish off those areas will a mixture of portland, 'n water scrubbed or brushed on, 'n rubbed out...
Ripping the bottom of the riser form helps, oiling the forms liberally helps, and make sure you're not "jamming" the forms together when forming it, they don't need to fight as tight as trimwork, as they're only temporary, and are harder to take apart than put together if tight. Also, these make finishing steps much easier:

Thanks for the responses. I'm probably thinking its more difficult than it really is, though you never know when you do it the first time.
While I have your attention, here is a diagram of the slab I'm placing. Its colored in yellow and the slanted plane is grade. It will sit on old fill of sand and adobe clay. Anyone see a problem with it shifting downhill? Should I put in deeper geometry under the slab like troughs or post holes to give it better grip? Also would you give the surface a slight slant to prevent puddling water?
I would poor the left side thicker, so that it is anchored into the ground, especially if you plan to put a retaining wall of some sort to hold the existing grade back. As for pitch, 1/4" per foot is the industry standard.
that diagram is absolutely GORGEOUS ! ! all the other guys are right ! ! :thumbsup:
1 Attachment(s)
Great tips. I redesigned the slab and had a couple more questions.
Does a shape like this need control joints?
I assume pros would do this in one pour but I was thinking forming and finishing the top right part would be easier doing a second pour. How would you do it?
I would do it in one pour, but I can understand why you want to do it in two. As long as you leave a few rebar dowels sticking up out of the first pour, I don't see any problems with it.

A former Labour MP made a series of bogus expense claims including using an elderly couple's address on a fake invoice, a court has been told.
Margaret Moran, 57, is accused of making false claims for £60,000 in parliamentary expenses between 2004 and 2008.
On Thursday Southwark crown court heard that on one bill for more than £4,000, address details given for a building firm were those of an elderly couple.
The prosecutor Peter Wright QC said: "They relate to the home of an elderly couple with no connection whatsoever to Elite builders.
"The invoice was a complete forgery. It was simply a means of pocketing £4,756.40 in public money."
Moran also claimed more than £2,000 for a landline at her flat when there was no phone line fitted, the jury heard, and for carpet for three bedrooms for her one-bedroom Westminster flat.
Wright said: "It was rather a lot of carpet for a one-bedroom flat in London."
Moran, of St Denys, Southampton, is accused of 15 charges of false accounting and six of using a false instrument over the claims for parliamentary expenses.
The former politician was found unfit to stand trial because of mental health problems, so proceedings are taking place in her absence.
Rather than finding her guilty, jurors have to decide whether Moran did commit the acts alleged in the charges, and whether they amount to the offences with which she is charged.
Wright went through each count Moran is facing, detailing invoices she allegedly changed before submitting them to Commons authorities.
She altered addresses to make it look as if she was making legitimate claims for her second home or constituency office, when they were to cover her personal costs, jurors heard.
Wright said: "She appears to have arranged for the taxpayer to foot the bill for repairs to which she was not entitled."
He told jurors some MPs would change where their second home was, or swap the address with their main home.
Wright said: "The scheme permitted an MP to claim for only one second home. It makes obvious sense, does it not?
"There was however no prohibition on an MP changing their second home or even swapping their main and second home. It was a practice that became known as 'flipping'.
"There are examples in this case of flipping main and second homes."
In 2004, Moran's main home, for which she could not claim expenses, was in her constituency in Luton, and her second home, for which she could claim costs, was in Westminster, central London.
In February 2007 she switched her main home to Southampton, and her second home was designated as Luton, the jury heard. She let her Westminster flat for more than £1,500 per month.
In October 2008 she swapped again so her main home was in Luton and her second in Southampton.
Wright said: "Mrs Moran made, we say, a large number of false claims. Some of them were supported by bogus invoices that appear to have been created by her, or on her behalf, and submitted by her in the claims that were made."
He told the court Moran "abused the scheme", going as far as to resubmit expenses claims with different descriptions and supportive invoices if they were initially rejected by parliamentary authorities.
The case continues.

By Gary Mihoces, USA TODAY
PHILADELPHIA Though Michael Vick has had scant impact on the Philadelphia Eagles in his NFL return, he again will be in the spotlight when he returns Sunday to the Georgia Dome.
Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb expects Vick to get the same reaction from Atlanta Falcons fans that he got in Philadelphia when he trotted onto the field during his first preseason game.
"I believe he'll get a standing ovation," McNabb said Wednesday. "You talk about a guy who for six years or so was the face of that franchise, the guy who led them to an NFC championship (appearance). … The people in the community love him. And I think those are things that you don't forget."
WEEK 13 PICKS: Our analysts project winners & losers
Whatever the reaction, Vick said he can't let it distract him.
"The last thing I want to do is get caught up in crowd's emotions and their cheers and go out and forget the task at hand and embarrass myself," he said. "Most importantly, I have to go out there and stay focused. Trust me, if there is a warm reception it's going to be highly appreciated. I'll say that."
In six seasons as quarterback of the Falcons from 2001-2006, Vick made three Pro Bowls, threw for 71 touchdowns and ran for 21 more. He returns to Atlanta after serving 18 months in federal prison on a felony dogfighting conviction. He was cut by Atlanta and then signed by Philadelphia in August.
Vick has seen little action this season. He's third on the Eagles depth chart. Operating from the Wildcat formation, he has rushed 15 times for 65 yards. He's completed three of nine passes for 6 yards. He has yet to run or throw for a touchdown. His lone big play has been a 34-yard run against the Chicago Bears on Nov. 22.
How many snaps he might get Sunday remains to be seen.
"Ahm, I don't know. He may have 20-30 plays," McNabb joked.
Realistically, it might just be a few or none at all.
"If he has three or he has five or six plays, just try to make as many plays as possible. I think that's something he will continue to have as his mindset," McNabb said. " … I would love for him to throw three touchdowns or rush for two touchdowns, whatever it may be. Will that happen? Maybe not. But it would be good for us."
Vick said he is grateful just to be back in the NFL.
"It's been a great experience just to be here every day, be around football, continue to learn … something I didn't have two years ago or didn't have a year ago," he said. "So I'm just soaking it all in"
He signed a one-year contract with the Eagles, but the team has an option for 2010.
His plans for the future?
"I can't look that far down the road right now. I've just got to focus on helping this team win a Super Bowl," he said.
The Falcons have moved on with second-year quarterback Matt Ryan, who won't play on Sunday because of a toe injury. Vick said he holds no ill will toward the Atlanta franchise for letting him go.
"I knew it was the best thing for that team at the time," he said.
"You know, my future was very uncertain. Nobody knew when I actually was going to get out of prison. And so that was the best thing to do for the organization and for that team. I wouldn't say for myself because I always wanted to go back, but it was the right thing to do and I think Arthur (team owner Arthur Blank) made the best decision he could make at the time."
Vick acknowledged he let down the Atlanta franchise and fans.
