SUICIDE. Needs to be talked about!
Those that commit suicide do so quietly and promptly. It's like a game of clue — with a gun or knife in any room but self-induced. They do not feel pain, they feel nothing, just hollow. The greatest fear that prevents people from committing suicide is the potential inability to make a second attempt if the first should fail. Self blame is one of the causes of suicide.
When one blames oneself for something bad that happened, one tends to think that one does not deserve to live. This is regardless of whether the blame is justified or not. Survivors remorse. Suicide brings with it further layers of confusion and difficulty to peel through: Your loved one's final chapter may have come to an abrupt close by their own choosing, but your heart remains an open book. I'VE DANCED WITH THE SAME DARK QUESTION: WHAT IF ENDING IT ALL IS THE ONLY WAY OUT OF THE WAY I FEEL RIGHT NOW?
Suicide is a subject many are afraid to talk about or even acknowledge. But how do we not talk about one of the leading causes of death? My fathers suicide taught me to speak more softly, to forgive more often, to resist the knee-jerk reaction to be offended, and, ultimately, to strive to touch those in my life in a way that will continue long after I too am gone. It forever altered the way I view friendships. I became less tolerant of superficial entanglements and more hungry for the sustenance of genuine relationships.
It's just G.

The new Wyler Code-R Chronograph is, basically, the same chronograph model that we have seen before. However, the new watch is designed in complete monochrome color scheme combining brushed titanium with PVD (?) coated black steel and black SuperLuminova. Powered by an unspecified Swiss-made automatic chronograph movement, the new model features a rather average power reserve of 42 hours and quite ordinary chronograph functionality with two pedal-shaped push-pieces and a standard tri-compax dial layout.
Although it is not clearly seen on the photo, the three sub-dials include a subsidiary seconds display at 3 o'clock, as well as a 30-minute and 12-hour chronograph counters at 9 and 6 hours respectively.
Its transparent case back covered with a sapphire crystal provides an unobstructed view of the mechanism and its oscillating weight, although there is nothing really to look at, if you don't count a PVD black oscillating weight with white Wyler logo on it.
The balance wheel of the new Wyler Code-R All-Black is protected with Wyler's proprietary time-proven Incaflex anti-shock system. The movement itself is further isolated from occasional shocks with a carbon-fiber resin frame that decouples the movement from the case of the watch if it unexpectedly suffers a severe blow.
Although measuring "just" 43 millimeters in width and being equipped with so called 'integrated' lugs that are hidden inside the titanium body, the watch is still quite long measuring approximately 52 millimeters from tip to tip. While persons with wider wrists may be absolutely okay with the size of this thing, guys with average (and, of course, narrower) wrists should probably try one before ordering the watch (or at least choose a shop with generous return policy) or risk one of the worst cases of buyer's remorse in their lives.
The watch is supplied on a textured rubber strap with a titanium folding clasp.
Well, what can I say?
For a price of about $6000, this is quite an expensive piece of Swiss watchmaking. However, if you want to get yourself a sporty Swiss watch that doesn't look like thousands of other timekeepers made in the same country, this one may be a more adequate choice than some overpriced Omega or Rolex. Sporting a well-balanced exterior with nice and, well, expensive machine-brushed finish, the watch clearly looks like it is worth every penny that the brand plans to charge for it.
The only problem that I see here is that, going against the flow, you will probably lose a healthy chunk of money when you finally decide to let this one go. The solution? Well, I am fairly sure that there will soon be a great number of used timekeepers in mint condition and with good discount. If money is an issue, it may be wise to wait a little longer and buy an ahem pre-loved one in a "like new" shape at a half of MSRP and spend the rest of the cash for a nice Italian suit.

Hotel Romazzino
The equally royal but slightly less illustrious hotel cousin of Porto Cervo's Cala di Volpe, Hotel Romazzino looms like a rambling white palazzo on a hilltop of forested pine trees above the bright blue waters of Costa Smeralda.
What looks more Aegean architecture than traditional seaside Italian, a lobby of smooth white plaster walls has rounded walls hand-painted in cheery pastel floral a lot less formal than you'd expect of a $1,500 per night hotel in August high-season. An indoor-outdoor architecture offers incredible views of the sea from infinite terraces arranged in stark-white lounges with in-house gourmand Romazzino Restaurant that requires a jacket even on summer's most balmy nights.
Perhaps the biggest perk of the Romazzino is its lavish beach club and private stretch of sand where a collection of brash and chic Italians sprawl-out under thatch umbrellas on a pristine stretch of beach good for snorkeling and swimming with a beach bar and barbecue-style eatery (think grilled octopus not mesquite ribs) open till the early hours of the evening. Those who prefer a swimming pool scene, especially in milder fall and spring months, a free-form swimming pool is located in a meadow of juniper trees and rosemary kept at 80-degrees year-round.

The difference could not be more stark, just one year after blasting North Korean leader Kim Jong-un as quote rocket man on a suicide mission. US President Donald Trump at this year's United Nations General Assembly speech called Kim quote courageous, and just days ago highlighted their chemistry during a recent political rally in West Virginia.
When I did it and I was really being tough and so was he. I will go back and forth and then we fell in love, okay? No, really he wrote me beautiful letters and they're great letters, we fell in love.
Secretary of Mike Pompeo heading to Pyongyang in the coming days expressed high hopes for the coming meeting with Kim.
I'm optimistic that we'll come away from that with better understandings, deeper progress. And a plan forward not only for the summit between the two leaders, but for us to continue the efforts to build out a pathway for denuclearization.
North Korea has been asking for an official end to the Korean War, but Washington says Pyongyang must give up its nuclear weapons first. The United States has also resisted calls to relax harsh international sanctions.
The economic sanctions continue to remain in place, the core proposition the thing which will give us the capacity to deliver denuclearization isn't changing.
While securing a second summit will not be difficult, insuring such talks will produce substantive progress toward denuclearization will be challenging, according to analysts.
The question is what is Kim willing to give up. Is he willing to make big concessions on denuclearization? I think the South Koreans are pushing him to do that, the South wants to make major investments in North Korea. But this all hinges on Kim now is willing to make a move. History shows us the North Koreans will only go up to a certain point, then they back off or they lie or they cheat.
Pompeo's fourth visit to North Korea comes days after South Korea acknowledged North Korea may have stockpiled as many as 60 nuclear weapons. But Kazianis said the prospect of a second summit could be a source of US leverage.

Bayern Munich manager Jupp Heynckes is rueing his side's missed chances in their clash with Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday despite progressing to the quarter-finals of the DFB-Pokal.
The hosts missed a number of chances before
United by the beautiful game. #UnitedByFootball #FCBBVB pic.twitter.com/O8gqakXswn— The DFB-Pokal (@DFBPokal_EN) December 20, 2017
"I'm unhappy with the second half, we were too passive then," he said. "But it's not easy psychologically when you're two goals up. You tend to take a step back then. We allowed Dortmund to attack and almost conceded the equaliser."

For those of you who might not have had a lot of access to news this summer, here is the quick and dirty version: Edward Snowden is a former employee of the National Security Administration.
He became famous – or infamous – when he leaked a plethora of documents to several newspapers and journalists about the US federal government's surveillance of its citizens.
It created controversy because the program targeted civilians like you and me (probably including you and me) and recorded phone calls, emails, and Internet history of millions of Americans. The searches were conducted without warrants and without probable cause.
After leaking the documents, he fled the country to avoid prosecution for leaking classified information. Meanwhile, the scandal split both parties, with sizable factions from each party coming out in both support and opposition to the NSA's actions.
This summer, on June 23rd, I was sitting with my fellow summer missionaries in the International terminal at O'Hare killing time during my layover before getting on a flight to Russia when my eyes landed on a TV where CNN was broadcasting the breaking news: SNOWDEN IN MOSCOW AIRPORT.
What?! Edward Snowden, the nerdy bureaucrat turned expatriate whistle-blower, happened to be headed to Russia the same day as me? The coincidence was flattering.
But as I stood there, some real concerns came to mind, "What if Russia hands him over to the US?" "What if this sours already-tense relations with Russia and we have another cold war?" and more selfishly, "With all this drama, will they even let us into the country?"
For the first time since Katrina, a news story intersected with my life deeply and visibly, threatening to alter my direction by force.
Being in Russia in the weeks that followed gave me the unique opportunity to see how critical this story really is. I was in a very low-media zone while in Russia. I heard barely a whisper of "Justice for Trayvon" or revolution in Egypt, but I met plenty of Russians who wanted to talk about Snowden.
Being abroad during this saga taught me something that I do not think I would have grasped in the US. Our current predicament is NOT your run-of-the-mill scandal.
It is easy to get jaded and say, "I don't care that the government spies on me or that the IRS audits based on politics or that the government does any of these other sketchy things. What difference does it make?"
But this one does make a difference to all of us, not just a news junkie like me.
While this scandal-a-month administration wants to sweep Snowden under the rug like so many other stories, this one will not go away. Why? Because the world is watching. Not America. Not the important voting blocs. The world.
Russians asked me persistently how Americans were reacting to the news that their government spied on them, not to mention the Russian government now being embroiled in a diplomatic quagmire.
US allies like Germany and Australia have all made statements showing absolute shock and revulsion at the NSA's monitoring. (These countries do not even blink at normal scandals.)
Nations like China are pointing to this as an example of US hypocrisy on human rights, and they are correct to do so. By redefining how we relate to these countries, these events are literally changing the world.
Our government does things on public record all the time that would disgust the average American if they were well-publicized, but this one is different. It puts us at a crossroads.
Everyone has heard about this. Every major newspaper in America and the world has covered it relentlessly. Snowden's face is everywhere. Laws that govern our country are changing as you read this in response to this event. We cannot plead ignorance on this one. So what will you do?
Anyone who knows me will know what path I would suggest. But that is just my opinion, and this is not about me. It is about all of us Americans. We will come to a decision as a society.
Don't let that decision be apathy and ignorance. My suggestion would be, above all else, to know what is happening. Really, really know what is going on.
Do you know the scale of the NSA scandal? Do you know if what they did was legal or not? Do you know how your Congressmen voted on the legislation that made it possible? Do they support civil liberties? What about the "terrorism" exception to the fourth amendment?
During this critical tipping point in our path, we must know these things. That will mean going beyond the passive consumption of the sensational, sound-bit-driven TV news and their websites. (Their motivation is high ratings for advertisements, and they simply are not covering the most important facts of the issue.)
You will have to find real, hard facts from credible newspapers and watchdog organizations that will give you the full story. You will have to earn your status as an informed citizen.
Edward Snowden sacrificed his career, his future, his identity, and his homeland for us, so that we could to know what our government is doing. Do not waste that sacrifice. I ask you, I beg you — get informed.

Snack firm Kestrel looks to innovation to drive sales to £20m
A CRAIGAVON-based food business which produces a premium range of dried fruit and nut snacks has said it is confident of reaching sales of £20 million by 2020 as part of an innovation-led development strategy.
Kestrel Foods, a family run business that exports to 35 countries, has just invested £2m in a new factory and industry-leading coating machine, specifically designed for the coating of dried fruit and nuts, to facilitate new product development and anticipated increases in production levels.
The company, which operates from an industry-leading plan at Carn business park in Portadown, has also invested in new marketing collateral including a new website.
The announcement came as the business, founded by husband and wife Michael and Lorraine Hall 21 years ago, revealed sales had risen from £14.2m to a record £16.6m for the 12 months to April.
Employment levels during the same period grew from 72 to 89 including the creation of key roles of general manager and R&D manager.
Earlier this year the local food industry was stunned to learn of the sudden death of Lorraine Hall after a short illness. She had been an inspirational driving force in the business and had a particular passion for building its brands, Forest Feast and Acti-Snack.
Kestrel Foods' financial controller Lorraine McAfee said the £2m investment would help reinforce the development of the company's Forest Feast and Acti-Snack brands locally, nationally and internationally, adding that the firm is well placed on its journey towards achieving £20m of sales by 2020.
"This past year has been exceptionally encouraging from a sales point of view with particularly strong growth in GB, driven in part by an increased focus on the food service sector," she said.
"One of the big product success stories has been the performance of our Smart and Hearty range of naturally sweet and ready to eat snack-sized dried fruits such as mango, apricot, banana, pineapple, goji berries, cherries and dates."
The company's award-winning portfolio comprises more than 160 unique flavour combinations and exports to countries including Hong Kong, Norway, Denmark, Iceland, America and the Middle East.
Kestrel Foods' customer base includes retail, foodservice, e-commerce and travel retail as well as supplying retailer private label.
Managing director Michael Hall said the success of the business, which marked its 21st anniversary this year, was down to the culture of innovation, creativity and speed to market underpinned by the quality of its ingredients achieved through strong relationships with suppliers and growers worldwide.
"This hands-on experience of the different characteristics of nuts, fruit and seeds from various, often vastly dissimilar growing regions ensures that the final consumer product is always second to none.
"Combining these ingredients in our own innovative and creative way allows us to consistently excite with new on trend snack products that catch the interest of our consumers."
In recent years Kestrel Foods has won a number of high profile accolades including: Ulster Grocer best new product launch, Viscount Awards best SME and Gold Standard Deloitte Best Managed Companies.

And here we are. Yes I'm aware that I used 'and' on the first sentence of the first post of my new site. That's just how we're going to roll.
The blogophere is a scary, soupy, swampy mess of borderline insanity and wibbly-wobbly nonsense and after years of dipping my toes into the murky sludge near the shore this is me plunging in head-first, eyes closed and nostrils clenched.
This set of writings is going to chronicle my daily battle normal nonsense and of the web. I'll put more up in the 'About me' section but for now let me just say:
Hello and welcome. Mind the gap and the leopard.

Nissan's VC-Turbo engine offers any compression ratio between 8:1 (for high performance) and 14:1 (for high efficiency). The engine delivers 248 horsepower @ 5,600 rpm and 273 lb-ft of torque @ 4,000 rpm (premium fuel). The VC-Turbo's specific power output is higher than many competing turbocharged gasoline engines and comes close to the performance of some V6 gasoline engines. The unit's single-scroll turbo ensures immediate accelerator responses on demand.
Along with the world's first multi-link system, the engine features an electric motor with a unique Harmonic Drive reduction gear to manage the variable compression ratio. The electric motor is connected to the Harmonic Drive with a control arm. As the Harmonic Drive rotates, the control shaft at the base of the engine rotates, moving the multi-link system within the engine.

Inspired by true events, The Vain Conversation reflects on the 1946 lynching of two black couples in Georgia from the perspectives of three characters—Bertrand Johnson, one of the victims; Noland Jacks, a presumed perpetrator; and Lonnie Henson, a witness to the murders as a ten-year-old boy. Lonnie's inexplicable feelings of culpability drive him in a search for meaning that takes him around the world and ultimately back to Georgia, where he must confront Jacks and his own demons, with the hopes that doing so will free him from the grip of the past.
In The Vain Conversation, Anthony Grooms seeks to advance the national dialogue on race relations. With complexity, satire, and sometimes levity, he explores what it means to redeem, as well as to be redeemed, when dealing with America's race violence, and he speaks to the broader issues of oppression and violence everywhere.
A foreword is provided by American poet, painter, and novelist Clarence Major. An afterword is written by T. Geronimo Johnson, the bestselling author of Welcome to Braggsville and Hold It 'Til It Hurts.
Anthony Grooms is the author of Bombingham: A Novel and Trouble No More: Stories, both winners of the Lillian Smith Book Award for fiction. Born in Charlottesville, Virginia, he has taught writing and American literature at universities in Ghana and Sweden and, since 1994, at Kennesaw State University in Georgia.

Riding the Data Wave
Using Predictive Analytics and Blackboard Data to Support Student Success
Lunch and Learn
Tuesday, October 24
Noon-1pm (Arrive earlier to eat)
Predictive analytics has become a buzzword in higher education. But the hype surrounding 'big data' tends to obscure the people, processes, and high impact practices that put analytics to use in support of student success. In Fall 2017, SDSU is piloting Blackboard Predict to forecast student success and struggles in designated high failure rate courses. This cutting-edge way of leveraging data with timely interventions offers a potentially powerful mechanism of students identification at the point and time of failure, before it is too late, and offering them strategies for course correction.
Registration is required. This event is part of a series New Frontiers in Higher Education and Creating a Climate for Learning.
* Graduate students are welcome to attend all CTL events, space permitting. If an event fills up, GTAs will be moved to the waitlist in the order in which they registered.

June 30, 2012
Review by Fran Scott
Following a memorable performance at the Hop Farm in the summer of 2010, the
Never Ending Tour rolled into deepest Kent once more to kick off a three week
European leg.
As a gloriously sunny afternoon at this open air venue turned to a fresh evening,
Dylan's road crew wheeled a grand piano onto the centre of the stage, alongside
the Korg keyboard and the pedal steel. It transformed the show.
Two minutes before the scheduled time, Stu Kimball walked onto the stage playing
a blues riff, followed by the band - equally attired in sharp grey suits with the
exception of Mr Zimmerman in his customary dark suit and a grey hat. A gentle
Leopardskin Pillbox Hat opened up proceedings, followed by It's All Over Now Baby
Blue with Dylan on keyboard and guitar respectively.
Then came a wonderfully playful Things Have Changed with great harmonica and
added rhetorical flourishes - "What happened? Things have changed".
Tangled up in blue was delivered centre stage with the unfurling of a flamenco
dancer's hand, Bob was here to EXPRESS himself tonight.
Cry a While was reworked to a 12-bar blues number with stop-start theatrics from
Dylan. Love Sick, a personal favourite followed, with Bob on the grand piano
playing a jazz-like solo while wickedly flashing his teeth at the crowd.
Hollis Brown saw the travelling storyteller centre stage, his left hand making shapes
as this most desolate of tales was sung with a passion.
Dylan was back to the piano for a summery rhythm & blues version of Spirit on the
Water to which he injected energy on piano and harp.
High Water felt a little flimsy, the inoffensive arrangement clashing with the singer's
eagreness to entertain.
Back to the piano for Hard Rain, Bob sitting at 45 degrees to the keys at times as
if to better address the audience and building his singing to a passionate crescendo.
It struck me at this point how discreet Charlie Sexton had been so far. In fact,
Dylan was dominating the show completely.
Highway 61 - such a guitar driven sonic assault in recent years was rendered
positively jaunty by some more piano from the Jools Holland school of r&b. What
an improvement on the keyboard!
Can't Wait was wonderfully atmospheric, its descending bassline providing the
backdrop to a moody delivery and Thunder on the Mountain began with Dylan
looking as if he wanted to play the keyboard but wisely opting for the piano once
more, the song climaxing in his best work on the keys of the evening.
Ballad of a Thin Man was the excellent arrangement of recent years with the
echo effect on the vocals and then Rolling Stone, with all of the bombast
replaced by a gentle backing from the band again allowing the piano and vocal
to take prominence.
After the band lined up to take the applause, there was an extended discussion
between them before an arrangement of All Along The Watchtower which was
as close to the John Wesley Harding Version as I have heard live, Tony Garnier's
bass at the forefront driving the song along. Dylan introduced the band midway
through the song and the concert came to its end, an hour and a half after it
The man's capacity for reinvention is astounding. A wonderful concert.
Fran Scott
Review by Joe Neanor
Bob closed the performances on the main stage of the second day of the Hop
Farm Festival by delivering a 16 song set list. As usual Bob's keyboard was
set up on the stage and he opened the show playing it on Leopard-Skin
Pill-Box Hat. This instrument has been a mainstay of so his concerts over
the past nine years or so but it was not to be visited again for the rest of
the evening. Instead, when he was not centre stage, with or without his
guitar, Bob was plonking away at a grand piano, set back in the middle of
the stage in front of steel guitarist Donny Herron. With Bob seated it was
of course even harder for people to see him.
There were interesting moments, with good piano parts, such as on Love Sick,
Sprit On The Water and Thunder On The Mountain. At other times though Bob
was just playing chords with his right hand and, being seated, seemed
detached from the audience, despite turning round frequently towards us.
Bob was on the piano for Like A Rolling Stone, for me it was a whole level
down in terms energy and power. Bob being Bob decided to move away from
piano when it would have been just right to play that minor chord on an
echoing Ballard Of A Thin Man.
Lots of nice harmonica tonight from a performer who seemed to be living out
the stories of the songs, with his gestures and chest clasping when making
first person references. The band were in good form, their contribution
including some driving banjo and double bass on Ballad of Hollace Brown and
High Water for Charley Patton from Donny and Tony Garnier, the only man on
stage wearing a traditional collar tie. Bob introduced the band between
verses of All Along The Watchtower, a novel way of doing things.
There were some big screens either side of stage. Bizarrely you could see
more of the stage with naked eye than the shrunken view the screens offered.
Presumably this is all down to Bob's rules but these restrictions on
close-ups are plain daft. The artist is there to be seen or we might as well
stay at home and listen to the records.
Bob gave a solid and enjoyable performance tonight, despite his relative
lack of visibility at times. The show ended around 10:30pm on what finished
up being a chilly evening in a field in the Garden of England.

Review by Al Kerslake
A pretty standard setlist, Bob sat down on a baby grand piano for quite a few songs,
the band on auto pilot, a rowdy festival crowd, a windy day, the 'big screen' joke,
'Can't Wait' the only real highlight, People sang the chorus of LARS but didn't really
know the words, a lot of people left to see Primal Scream in the big tent.
3 out of 5 stars overall. Patti Smith owned the main stage here on Saturday.

Review by Mr. Jinx
Bob Dylan rang the changes at the Hop Farm festival tonight. Instead of the usual
announcement at his arrival (seedy tales of forcing Folk into bed with Rock) Stu Kimball
coolly strode on and struck up a mean riff. Bob and the boys joined him and we
were off. . . Leopard skin style.
But what was that big black thing right in the middle of the stage? Wow, a grand
piano! Bob has not played a grand piano on stage since . . . well, you tell me.
Anyway, he played it tonight. In fact we got Bob the all round musician.
He played electric guitar, harp, piano and keyboard, skipping from one instrument
to another like a hyperactive kid in a toy shop.
The voice was very strong all night and Bob's harp playing was simply out of this world.
Harp that sharp ought to come with a government health warning.
The show's highlights were many. Tangled Up In Blue was sleek rolling beast of a
performance. Bob told the well-worn tale placing fresh emphasis. I was spellbound.
Hard Rain, too, was a virtuoso performance. Every line was freshly minted and beyond
dramatic. The final verse pounded. Submission was the only option.
For me, though, the performance of the night was Can't Wait. It contained multitudes.
It was brooding in the extreme and shimmered a million shades of blue and cast a
thousand shadows. The way Bob held the last note will stay with me to the grave.
One of the best performances I have ever witnessed.
It was great to see so many young people surrounding us. They were cheering and
smiling throughout. Spirit On The Water prompted an outbreak of dancing to my right.
It was joyous to be there and to see Bob in such good spirits too.
High Water – a banjo pluckin' treat – turned extra apocalyptic as Bob sang 'It's bad UP
there.' Sometimes it is the little nuances that say so much.
The only bizarre note of the evening was
the way Bob introduced the band right in the middle of Watchtower. It jarred to have
a band announcement smack in the middle of such a dark song. It seems churlish to
omplain, though, when we had been showered with such riches.
Simply put, Bob Dylan sang and performed at the height of his powers at the Hop Farm
tonight. The band was sympathetic to a fault, especially Charlie, who responded to
Bob's piano playing with great style, matching his master's runs where space allowed.
I have seen several as good N.E.T. shows but never a better one than tonight's.
The whole performance was up a level from the Hammersmith residency at the end
of last year and Bob looked and sounded as if he had years left in him. May it be so.
In this mood I would put nothing past him. Watch this space.
Mr Jinx
Comments by Martin Gayford
The piano was a wonderful surprise. Obviously my theory that he didn't want to fork
out for a proper piano was either wrong or he's changed his mind. Or perhaps it's so
central to the new album that he needs it on stage now. Either way, Highway 61,
Love Sick, Spirit On The Water were all really transformed with the piano. Also, being
Bob, he managed to make it sound unlike anyone else's playing. Occasionally, on the
high notes, it sounded to me like a vibraphone, or the electric piano on See The Sky
About To Rain. I thought at first it wasn't typical Bob piano, but if you think of the
opening to It Takes A Lot To Laugh it reminded me of Spirit On The Water tonight.
In the middle of Like A Rolling Stone it sounded almost orchestral. Can't Wait sounded
eerily like the first TTS version, GREAT singing Bob! Glad the spoken intro's gone - Stu's
riff is much cooler. Would've loved to have heard Forgetful Heart and This Wheel's On
Fire (instead of Things Have Changed and Tangled Up In Blue, neither of which are
working for me!), but I can't have everything.
Review by Trevor Townson
"Master, you say the things that we see do not actually exist, so how do we see them then?"
My Karma must have been pretty good on Saturday as there were all manner of good things
appearing to my mind. Must have applied to a lot of other people too as it has since been
confirmed that I was not the only person to see a grand piano sitting centre stage later in
the day. The day had however started much earlier for me as I wandered up to the metal
barrier positioned across what was at that time a fairly empty field shortly before mid day. At
that time there were already quite a few familiar faces standing or sitting down at the rail.
After a little while I made the decision that there was only one thing to do, join them. Whilst
I had the list of acts that were due to perform I did not have the timeframes so I had as a
guess that there was at least nine hours from the first act before Bob would be stood on
stage. No matter there would be plenty to keep me entertained between now and then.
For me that started with Bellowhead as although I had seen Treetop Flyers setting up I had
missed most of their act as I was busy turning water into wine at the time they were on
stage. You never know the lie of the land so to speak at these events so consequently you
never know what you will be allowed to take through the gate so I had returned back to
the car as I had discovered on entering that it was possible to take plastic bottles into the
event. Who needs water anyway I thought as I poured the water out of the plastic bottles
and replaced it with white wine out of the glass bottle. With refreshment for the day sorted
it was time to return to my spot in the empty field. In just a short space of time from first
entering to then departing I was already walking against the tide of people flooding in whilst
I was leaving the field so by the time I was walking back to the rail there were quite a lot of
people in the place but nevertheless I still managed to get back to the front to find a good
spot one back from the rail and in a fairly central position. The second act out onto the stage
is Bellowhead who are an English contemporary folk band with what looked to be about
seventy six band members playing every conceivable instrument imaginable including the
kitchen sink. I think that they said they had a new album coming out later in the year so if
you enjoy a mixture of Good As I Been To You injected with The Pogues it might be worth
checking out. Next act was a bonus, a Brucie Bonus actually. Now this is a guy who has
been on the stage longer than Bob has been on the planet, a true English leg end and
Knight of the realm to boot. Actually Bob did not have to wait half as long for his Medal of
Freedom as Bruce has had to wait for his Knighthood, one reason that Bruce has already
lived twice as long as your average Anglo-Saxon is the fact that he did not intend going
before being Knighted even if he had to wait long enough for someone who enjoys his
jokes like Prince Charles or William to become King in order to get the deed done. Amazingly
for a guy who has done everything this was in fact the first ever festival appearance for Sir
Bruce and Bruce loved the crowd as much as the crowd loved Bruce, just one word sums it
up – Entertainment. In one way Bruce is very much like Bob in that he has so many talents
it is not really possible to fit them all in as he was jumping from one thing to another as he
tried to fit in an act that could last for weeks into a mere fraction of that time. Next up we
have three female acts in succession that are all household names to persons of my
generation even to people like me who are not particularly music lovers. Just being a Bob
fan myself I am not what you could in any way call a proper music lover so whilst I may
know the artists names I do not necessarily know any of their stuff. First up was Joan
Armatrading and guess what, whilst I did not recognise too much of her act it was well
delivered in a relaxed, friendly and entertaining manner and she sure seems to be a pretty
competent guitar player. Randy Crawford followed and what a voice. I was convinced she
would have sounded exactly the same and at the same volume even if she had not been
holding a microphone a yard from her mouth, magical and mystical to both watch and hear.
Patti Smith was the last of this particular trio of acts and she seemed to be loved by the
crowd as she spat out enough attitude to make sure everyone got a piece of it. Actually
the photographers in the press section front of rail got it all literally at one point as she
spat out directly at them. Deliberately so, surely not, surely she just could not see them
down there standing on their stools all holding three foot long telephoto lenses. Again as
you can guess I did not know any of her stuff, well apart from the song that never stopped
getting played on the pub jukebox whilst I was carrying out my drinking apprenticeship at
college. Shortly after leaving the stage Pattie is seen walking in front of the rail as the people
there strained to get a look at her or if possible to touch her hand which many managed to
do. Her generosity though did seem to fall short of giving an autograph as I saw one in the
crowd with pen and paper in hand who looked to get a polite refusal. By the time of the
penultimate act the stage was already half set up for Bob as his stage crew had been
wheeling on some of his stuff including the grand piano which whilst half covered with a
protective cover was quite evident and you would have easily got the answer to what was
under the cover if you had been asked to take a wild guess as whilst protected it was not
exactly disguised like the latest model Ferrari would be whilst out on a test drive in public.
Due to a lot of Bobs stuff already being on the stage including Georges huge drum set
complete with beads and even the golden statue to the fore there was not a lot of space
left for Damien Rice to perform or even stand as he seemed stuck right at the front of the
stage to the side of an old key board that looked even more bashed and battle worn than
Bobs trusty Korg. As it later turned out when Bob was at his own keyboard Damien only did
the one song sat at his as well. Fortunately Damien did not put on the most dynamic act in
the world so other than walking on and seating himself once at his keyboard and then
walking off at the end there really was no need for any other movement other than that
of his right arm that he used in order to strum his guitar whilst he was otherwise standing
still. For sure Mr Rice has a boat load of talent and boy could he play guitar but as my mother
might say "not my cup of tea". Some in the crowd were shouting out praise but others just
wanted it over as quickly as possible, I for one was such a person who by that point just felt
like screaming out in desperation "AAAAARRRRGGG, mercy, mercy for Gods sake please,
please put Bob on stage, I cannot stand any more, AAAAARRRRGGG, God please, please
have mercy and put Bob on stage AAAAARRRRGGG" before falling like a shot bird to the
ground. I believe Damien sensed a little bit that he was getting in the way even saying to
the crowd at one point something like "well this is the closest that I will get to playing with
Bob Dylan, standing in front of his bands instruments". For a non music lover like me it had
been a long day by that point. May be it is the fact that I am not a music lover that despite
what a lot of people say of him I quite like Stu Kimball so I was quite surprised to find him
wandering out alone from the left hand side of the stage where he normally stands, strolling
out whilst just strumming some nonsense on his guitar, surely drunk and past caring. I have
seen Stu riled before on stage but surely this time he will be receiving his cards. No time to
worry about Stu as out from stage right spring the rest of the band and Bob. The nonsense
Stu had been strumming is soon drowned out as that old standing in line quiz "can you guess
what the opener is going to be" is won by every Dylan fan in the place. Good Game, Good
Game! May be we now need to make the quiz harder by having to guess both the opener
plus the next number. Then again I expect that there are bound to be rules written within
the Dylanology hierarchy who would declare that You Don't Get Anything For A Pair, Not In
This Game (dear), then again no Dylan fan in the world would have won the prize for this
particular quiz at Dresden later in the week, just one of the reasons why you just gotta be
there and why you can never second guess Dylan. By this point however even Stu seemed
to have come around from whatever had been affecting him as he was now playing all the
right notes in the right order so hopefully the earlier incident of him falling out of line and
doing his own thing would be overlooked and we would all get to see him some more. On
leaving the field I was thinking I can't wait to say what the best song of the night had been
but no doubt by the time that I get around to reviewing somebody will have already told
everybody. Well I am not a professional reviewer so I do need to sleep sometime as well as
carry out three (maybe four) other bodily functions as well. Interestingly I have had time to
read others reviews already so you have probably already heard most snippets and what the
highlights were from others by now but I would like to share one thing with you that I came
across from Mail Online, not from the review itself but from the blog that followed although
the review itself did state that this performance "will surely be among his last handful of
concerts to a UK audience". This statement was not really important to me as I have already
been very lucky by doing my time following Bob and have enjoyed every minute of it. No it
was not that thought that partricularly caught my eye but something in the discussions that
followed which seemed to sum up perfectly the reason that I do not consider myself a music
lover as the debate goes on as to whether Bob can sing and someone answers the critics
perfectly with the statement "You are a poor appreciator of great art. You would complain
that Picasso does not put the eyes in the "right" place. Dylan can't sing the way Picasso
cannot paint". There is art and there is great art and there is music and there is Bob. Hop
Farm Festival was my 99th Dylan concert so quite a numerical landmark but hopefully Cap
Roig Festival in Spain on the 14th July will be my 100th and as such an even greater
numerical landmark providing of course that I have a bit more luck getting my ticket out of
the Spanish bank than I have getting money out of my English one. Is this the end of the
road or just the start of another one as surely 100 shows is enough for anybody? From
what I saw on Saturday Bob for sure has got plenty more shows left in him yet so to
anyone just starting out in 2012 hopefully someone can make this the start of a new road
or them so despite what the Daily Mail thinks go see if you can set off and take in for
yourself 100 shows. Such an opportunity will never come along again so try to travel along
with Bob, On The Road, Brilliant!

As a game, hockey can be an extremely energizing and requesting action but at the same time is all the while something that should be regarded for the sort of gear that it will require keeping in mind the end goal to play it well. That is the reason finding out about ice hockey sticks can be so essential, on the grounds that alongside a decent combine of hockey skates, the stick itself will likely matter the most to any player.
Like whatever other instrument, it's exceedingly important that the correct one be chosen for the correct occupation. This is similarly as valid for a sledge as it is of a hockey stick. Actually, if the stick that is being utilized is terrible quality or erroneous for the style of ice hockey being played by a specific player the stick can wind up accomplishing more damage than great, if – for example – the player is left given yet the stick is correct given.
There are a few distinct things to comprehend about hockey sticks, including how much flex ought to be available in a stick, to what extent the stick ought to be, and how the hockey stick ought to "lie." for one thing, it's critical to understand that a stick being utilized as a part of ice hockey is worked with certain flex attributes. A few specialists say that flex is likewise how hardened a stick is, and they are right.
This kind of flex is particularly essential when a player lines up a puck preliminary to taking part in a slapshot, for instance. It's a sort of bowing and snapping that will move the puck, once it struck by the ice hockey stick, at a pleasant speed. It will dependably be a harmony between having a stick that can flex as totally as could reasonably be expected while additionally being as solid as would be prudent, which may appear to be conflicting despite the fact that it's most certainly not.
Picking all around coordinated ice hockey sticks can require a specific measure of ability. Knowing the correct hockey sharp edge to the correct hockey shaft are recently the start of the components you have to consider.

After a decade in the professional wilderness, Hollywood signaled that it had at least partially forgiven Mel Gibson. A previous Oscar-winner for "Braveheart," Gibson was shunned by many industry power brokers when he was caught on tape making anti-semitic remarks to a police officer after being pulled over for a DUI in 2005. On Tuesday, Gibson was nominated for his directing work on "Hacksaw Ridge," a gritty war drama that also earned a best picture and best actor nod for Garfield.
From a box office perspective, this year's list of nominees was dominated by smaller, indie-spirited features and adult dramas. There were no "Inceptions" or "Avatars," and the lack of a certifiable blockbuster could dim ratings.
There were a number of notable snubs and surprises. Hugh Grant ("Florence Foster Jenkins"), Tom Hanks ("Sully"), Amy Adams ("Arrival") had been expected to pick up nods, but failed to get the call, while Michael Shannon, recognized for his work as an ailing lawman in "Animal Kingdom," and Negga, managed to shoulder into the final five after missing out on other important critics group honors.
Jimmy Kimmel hosts this year's ceremony. It marks his first time as emcee, but also represents a long-desired stab at synergy. ABC, which broadcasts the Oscars, also backs Kimmel's late night program. The network has been pushing for the comic to host the show for years.
This year's Oscar nominations were announced in a novel way. Instead of having Academy brass and the odd celebrity read out the lists of honorees, ABC had small interstitial videos with previous nominees and winners such as Marcia Gay Harden, Glenn Close, Brie Larson, and Ken Watanabe sharing their memories of their big mornings.

Christmas Bells are especially associated with Christmas as they proclaim the birth of Jesus and are therefore a sacred Christian symbol relating to the Nativity. Jingle Bells are commonly used on Christmas decorations, ornaments and feature in many Christmas card illustrations.
Luke 1:14 And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth.

Social Life at the Manor in the 1920s and 30s
Buchan described his life in Elsfield in a chapter entitled 'An Ivory Tower and its Prospect' but as his wife rather acidly comments, 'I had always understood an Ivory Tower to be an abode of complete peace and seclusion from the world, but I can never remember much seclusion in those days. People came and went constantly'.
In John Buchan: A Memoir, William Buchan supplies a list from the Visitor's book of the many people who visited the Manor in the 1920s and 30s. It is mainly a mixture of writers and politicians. In 1920, when the Buchans had settled in to their new house, the poet John Masefield and the chairman of Reuters, Sir Roderick Jones, who had offered John Buchan a directorship of his company, and his wife, Enid Bagnold, author of National Velvet and The Chalk Garden, were among the first visitors.
Masefield was one of the few visitors who had not received a university education. Brought up by his aunt, he had been sent to sea to cure him of his addiction to reading. Despite this unpromising beginning, he wrote a well-received book, Gallipoli, about the failure of policy which led to the loss of life in the battle of the Dardanelles and by 1920 was a respected writer. Considering that Buchan himself had written extensively about the war: The Battle of the Somme, The battle of Jutland and especially his well regarded History of the Great War, the two men would have much in common. Masefield received an honorary doctorate from the University of Oxford in 1921 and would not have had to travel far to the Manor since he had settled near Oxford into a life of country smallholder, keeping bees, goats and poultry.
Another visitor, Violet Markham, who had met Susan Buchan while involved in charity work in London, was the granddaughter of Sir Joseph Paxton and a member of the rich coal-owning family in Derbyshire. She was obviously an able and vigorous woman who in 1927 became mayor of Chesterfield. Violet Markham was involved with the Central Committee of Women's Training and Employment and later the National Service Department, which was primarily concerned with training women for domestic service. One interesting facet of Violet Markham's career, in the light of John Buchan's later political life, was her connections with Canada. In fact so trusted was she that in 1923 the Canadian government asked her to become their representative in the International Labour Organisation based in Geneva. It was on a visit to Chatsworth that John Buchan first made contact with Violet Markham's good friend Mackenzie King, Prime Minister of Canada. When the governorship of Canada became vacant in 1935, Violet Markham used her connections to promote John Buchan as a suitable candidate. Buchan's trips to Derbyshire inspired parts of his novel Midwinter.
Another visitor, Walter de la Mare, like Masefield, did not have the advantage of a university education but had been fortunate to be recommended by Sir Henry Newbolt, a graduate of Corpus Christi, and by 1908, a Minister of Information in the government, for a Civil List pension, which allowed him to devote his time to writing. Sir Henry, a poet now best known for his poem 'Vitai Lampada', ('There's a breathless hush in the close tonight…') also visited the Buchans. De la Mare had just won the James Tait Memorial prize in 1921, a Scottish award founded in 1919, when he was a guest at the Manor, and Buchan himself was to follow, being awarded the prize for his biography of James Graham, the First Marquess of Montrose.
Like Buchan, another friend, T.E Lawrence, was a great walker, having covered 1000 miles trekking round Spain as a very young man. He had been brought up in Oxford and was a graduate of Jesus College. He and Buchan shared an interest in archaeology and Buchan saw him about half a dozen times a year when he rode up to the Manor on his motorbike, Boanerges. He seems to have had a special place in Buchan's heart. Buchan writes about him "I am not a very tractable person or much of a hero-worshipper, but I could have followed Lawrence over the edge of the world. I loved him for himself and also because there seemed to be reborn in him all the lost friends of my youth."
Another winner of the Jame Tait Memorial Prize was Robert Graves, though much later in 1935 for I Claudius. Graves had gained a place at St John's College in 1918, aged 23 and married in the same year. He also features in the visitors book, being a near neighbour, living as he did in Islip before moving to Majorca.

Roof Repair
Roof Repair and Replacement
Any establishment designed for dwelling need a sturdy roof and ceiling to cover and protect its inhabitants from the weather and other potentially harmful external elements. Materials used for roofings have significantly changed in the past centuries from ancient plant stems to stone slabs that are often unstable, but today people are luckier to have the luxury of choosing from many better materials which are products of the many years of changes and experiments, which helped modern engineers and contractors develop the sturdiest materials for roofs.
Roofs ideally have long lifespans from decades to centuries with proper care and maintenance, but in some places with harsher climates, roofs do not last too long because of constant exposure to damaging elements. There are owners that choose to have repairs first before replacements which is often a last resort because of the high cost of materials, although replacements can lengthen lifespans for houses. In western countries that get affected by extreme weathers such as snowstorms and hailstorms, there are many professional contracting companies that offer specialized roofing services from maintenance and repairs to total replacements.
In many states, repairing services for storm and hailstorm damages are quite common and are often offered by high rated roof
dallas storm damage repair company
that can provide better equipment and stronger materials that can last longer than regular materials in bad weathers. Roof replacement companies and storm damage repair companies usually do both services but may specialize more in their given service name. Roofing service companies often offer complete services for any roofing problems, but repairing services, although common, can be a challenge for many repairmen especially in cases of damages caused by storms.
For people that try to look for the best company for roof replacement, it may vary per location and will always depend on a client's needs, for example, specific roofing companies for hailstorm damages are the best for those damaged by hailstorms, although most repair companies from
can offer flexible services, but clients should always check with companies first if they need a specialized service for their type of problem.
Owners must also know the proper maintenance recommended for their roof type, or hire professionals for a routine check if needed, especially when there is a forecasted storm in order to avoid extensive damage once the storm passes. Detecting cracks and signs of wear and tear is helpful in the prevention of larger damages that may need replacements which are more costly than simple repairs on smaller damages. Professional servicers are always helpful in saving your expensive roof materials from dangerous damages and in lengthening the lifespan of your house, making it a safer place and sanctuary for everyone in it.

RetroClinic CompactFlash interface for BBC Master
A while back, I picked up a BBC Master 128 from one of the rounds of redundant equipment disposal at work - with a 30MB hard disk! I tested it, and apart from having to adjust the CMOS configuration, everything seemed to work - the hard disk even had a couple of games on it. However, my flat wasn't really conducive to playing around too much, so it got packed up and stored away.
I've since moved, and there's a lot more space to leave things set up, so I unpacked it and switched it on. The CMOS settings were all gone, and after fixing those, it turned out the disk must have suffered from transit. So I polled eBay for RLL hard disks (I wanted something that would directly replace the disk) - not one there, for some reason! But an outfit called RetroClinic (http://retroclinic.com/) were selling a CompactFlash kit which seemed like a top idea. Today I had the kit and a 1GB CF card together, so it was time to play.
I went home via Maplin to pick up a battery holder and replaced the old, corroded, plastic-wrapped battery pack with a proper holder, soldered the protection circuit inline with the power lead and hooked it back up so that I wouldn't have to keep configuring the machine.
The CompactFlash interface works a treat! The kit includes a patched ADFS that can talk IDE, though it does it in 8-bit words over a 16-bit interface. A quick browse suggests that the relevant IDE commands are all contained in the lower 8 bits, so this works fine, it just uses twice as much space (the top 8 bits of all data are clear). Given that the maximum space ADFS can use is 512MB and that it's probably hard to get a CF card of less than 1GB these days, this isn't much of an issue.
Unfortunately, software to manipulate ADFS seems to either only have read support or is shareware: time to write some tools! I'll mostly be wanting to copy files off DFS images (which existing tools will do just fine) and write them to an ADFS image, detecting and accounting for those images being in this slightly wasteful 16-bits-per-byte format.
Read-only FUSE modules exist for newer ADFS variants, so writing a read-write module for the format used by the Master seems like a good idea too. I'll consider that bridge when I come to it.

Last Friday, our Chief Operating Officer Kurt Gensert snapped this photo of Dennis Bradberry from Respiratory Therapy escorting a patient to Medical Plaza 2. She was having difficulty locating her husband after her outpatient procedure. She wasn't sure where she was in the hospital and couldn't remember where she parked her car. Dennis personally helped find her husband (in the Spectrum waiting room), locate her car, and then walked her to the exit.
Kurt wanted to be sure to recognize Dennis for his time, attention and caring. Sometimes these simple acts of kindness can seem so small in the course of our everyday duties. We might think "it's just another part of my job," but these small courtesies mean so much to our patients and visitors.
Thanks Dennis for taking some extra time to help this woman re-orient herself after her procedure. You may think of it as no more that what is expected of you, but we appreciate that you took the time to make her day easier.

Audison is proud to announce a revolutionary digital audio technology for automobiles: bit Drive. Audison has a tradition of innovation with each new project making a qualitative leap in high fidelity mobile sound. Our "no-compromise" philosophy and our constant attention to new technologies allows us to be plugged-in to rapid developments in the market and have made it possible for a milestone of complete digital audio in the mobile environment.
Emidio Vagnoni, Technical Director and Audison co-founder, observes: "Over the past 5 years our research team has focused its efforts in the field of digital audio. Our deep experience, gained over many years in analogue topology, also highlighted the limitations of this technology to reproduce sound in the challenging environment such as found in the car. The study of digital technology is not limited to, as often happens, replicating traditional analogue technology more efficiently, but primarily focuses on the new possibilities it could offer to improve the sound reproduction and ergonomic integration of systems in vehicles. Highly innovative product solutions were introduced, such as Audison bit processors for digital signal processing through DSP and AD Link and AC Link for the transmission and management of digital signals in each channel of amplification. This "wind of change" led to the emergence of the Audison Full DA digital audio technology, immediately setting new sound reproduction standards in the mobile environment".

There are two common misconceptions about adding components to your factory sound system: More speakers and amplifiers will just make it louder, and subwoofers are just for those obnoxious kids who come down your street at 3 a.m. Who wants that? Best to just stick with what you're stuck with, right?
Let's clear up these misconceptions. Imagine bouncing a ball in a room with a six-foot ceiling. Chances are, every time you bounce the ball, it's going to hit the ceiling, right? But what if you raised the ceiling to 50 feet? Now the ball can reach its maximum effectiveness.
Improving your sound system is like that. We're not just making it louder (which would be the equivalent of getting a bigger ball). We are increasing the "headroom," or the capability for the system to perform at its best, resulting in clearer highs, better vocals, and just the right amount of bass to produce well-rounded sound.
So what does it take to make better sound? Better speakers, sure. High-quality speakers are designed to play back the proper frequencies that your music was recorded with. A subwoofer? Yes. Even a small subwoofer will fill in the missing low end of the frequency spectrum that makes music come alive. And of course, there are amplifiers, which supply the power necessary to add the dynamic range to your music.
But before that, there is a device that takes the music from whatever source you play—radio, CD, iPhone, MP3 player—and "preps" it to be amplified and produced through the speakers. These devices are called Digital Signal Processors.
Depending on the type of radio you have in your vehicle, you may require a certain type of DSP. But regardless of form, all DSPs do the same thing: change the incoming signal from the source, fine-tune it to reduce interference, separate it into different frequencies based on the frequency range your speakers are designed to handle, then send it to the appropriate amplifiers to play through the speakers.
Here are the three types of DSPs:
Basic: The basic DSP takes the front and rear speaker channels from a radio and processes them as described above. Some include the ability to raise or lower the volume of the signal to match its volume to the system's needs. These DSPs are used with basic factory or aftermarket radios.
Equalizer: Equalizers, or EQs, take the incoming signal and adjust it. Each lever or knob adjustment of an equalizer covers a set frequency range, and essentially raises or lowers the volume of that range. (Another, more versatile type of EQ, called parametric, has one or more knobs or levers that let the user choose the frequency range and raise or lower the volume.)
Summing: A summing DSP is needed if you want to improve a so-called "premium" system from the factory. In many premium systems, the source signal has already been separated by a factory installed DSP and sent to factory amplifiers. These separated signals may not match the frequencies needed for the new sound system. So the summing DSP basically puts all of the frequencies back together, then separates them to fit the new amplifiers and speakers.
Of course, a DSP can have a combination of the features we've described, and a few more as well. Some give you the ability to control the amount of bass output with a dash-mounted knob, so you can adjust it on the fly based on what you're listening to. Another option is an input for your portable device, either through an analog stereo input, a "digital" optical feed, or over Bluetooth. If your car radio does not have the option to play music from your phone or MP3 player, this feature is a nice add-on.
So when you think of making your sound better, talk with us to see which sound processing option will give you the results you want. Anyone can sell you larger amplifiers and speakers, but without the right signal processing, you'll be getting exactly what you were getting before—only louder.
