I've just been out with my new Sigma lens photographing swans by the river. It's really hot and sticky here, my hygrometer is reading 98% at the moment.
I was out for about 2 hours and after around an hour started to get the a few shots which were shown as "corrupted" when I tried to review them. When I got back to the car and tried to review all the images to delete the duff shots the camera said "CF Err", and wouldn't show me a thing.
Back home now and even the card reader in my pc doesn't aknowledge that a card is present!
Have I lost my shots? Or will it start to work when humidity drops a bit? Are more expensive brands of CF less prone to this than my cheapy Jessops card?
Could this have fubared by lovely new 350D as well?
Try to fix the lead to the camera to view the images, i had this trouble and when i took the card out and put it into my reader, if you leave the card in the camera and connect the usb lead it might work, other than that you can always recover the files by using rescuePro
I have a 350D and I lost 2 cards full of pics soon after I got it. I edited some shots on the PC and then put it back in the camera, took more shots, and then got that error when I tried to see it in the PC again. Another time, I edited it in the PC and got a card error in the camera. Now, I format the card in the camera each time I go out, or if I even touch the card in the PC. No problems since.
There are recovery tools you can get, but haven't seen them
I used 'Drive Rescue' earlier this week when I deleted most of my holiday pics by mistake during upload - and it worked for me. And my son has had some success with it as well. I have a Fuji S602 and he has Canon 300D and 20D, so different cards. There was a link in the forum to this in July if you do a search.
I would never dream of doing anything while the card is connected to the PC....My way is this:-
1-Card(CF)is removed from camera and inserted in USB card reader
2-Files are then uploaded to "My Documents"-by default
3-Card is removed from card reader
4-Only now do I view the images
5-Card is formatted in camera when I know files are all safely uploaded
Thanx Adrian
I would also say AJ that only in the early days of our first digi-cam(A HP 1Mgp)have I ever connected a camera to the PC....I have these strange ideas thast if the PC went on "tilt" while the camera was connected it could somehow affect it...
Cheers Adrian

Written by: Beth Davies-Stofka
Early churches adopted the hierarchical political organization of the Roman Empire. There was a single bishop, with authority over and responsibility for each local community. Each community also had presbyters, elders with whom the bishop consulted. The deacons assisted in administrative functions. In this way the first Christians instituted a distinction between the people, called the laity, and the community leaders, called clergy. Members of the clergy are ordained, or set apart for ministry. In the early Church, clergy were ordained by the ritual laying on of hands, conducted by the bishop, and most churches today continue with this or a similar practice.
When Christianity was formalized as the official religion of the Roman Empire (380), the Church institutionalized these roles. It incorporated local churches into an empire-wide hierarchy organized along the same political lines as those established by the Roman Empire. All churches and their bishops in a Roman province were presided over by an archbishop, or the bishop of the provincial capital. Next came regional groupings of provinces, all presided over by patriarchs. There were five patriarchates: Rome, Antioch in Syria, Alexandria in Egypt, Jerusalem, and Constantinople.
Bishops were often called papa or father, although in time papa, or pope, was reserved for the bishop in Rome. The pope acquired a primacy among bishops in part because of Rome's political position as the capital of the Roman Empire, but also because Rome was also the only diocese that claimed a significant connection to two leading apostles. Christian tradition places both Peter and Paul in Rome, and holds that both were executed there by the Emperor Nero in 64. While this is a subject of discussion and dispute among historians, Christian tradition names Peter as the first bishop of Rome.

LOST Marathon, Milepost 12: Get a Klugh
- Monday, January 18, 2010
Charlie tries to finish the church himself. Vincent runs up carrying a Mary statue. "Are you kidding me? Did someone put you up to this?" Follows the dog to Sawyer's tent and stash. Then he hucks them all out to sea. Locke saw him do it.
Miss Klugh brings Michael food. He asks when they're going to kill him. He figures he is worthless to them, AND he's seen where they live and how to get there. She says Walt is right outside, and "there's been a development." She's speaking of Ben's capture. If Michael gets him back, they'll let him and Walt go free. She calls for Pickett to let Walt in, gives him the "Three Minutes" of the title. All Walt can get out is that they make him take tests, they're not who they say they are, they're pretending, don't leave me, help me please, and I love you. Miss Klugh threatens him with "the room."
Just before the funeral for Ana and Libby, Locke removes his splint, leaves behind his crutches, and walks away with only a slight limp.
Sayid tells Jack Michael is lying, and may be compromised, and may have freed Henry, and may be leading Jack into a trap. You go, Sayid!
Jack delivers a very good eulogy for Ana. He's come a long way, gradually, at each funeral/memorial.
Sun looks out to see, and sees... A BOAT! Jack, Sayid, and Sawyer swim out to meet it. Charlie thinks it could be a trap. Sayid suspected it could be the Others.
Inside the boat firing shots at them is... a drunk Desmond listening to opera! "You," he says, as he sees Jack. He laughs. Jack tells Desmond he guesses Des forgot to mention he had a boat. Wouldn't have figured he'd see him again. Des says it's not intentional. He sailed due west, should have been in Fiji in a week. But he sailed for two-and-a-half weeks and the first piece of land he saw was the island. Desmond believes the outside world no longer exists, and the island is all there is left. He mentions the Snow Globe model (brings to mind the image from the Spanish comic book, as well as St. Elsewhere, the TV show that was revealed to have taken place all within a snow globe).
Locke tells Eko they're no longer going to push the button. And the white dude tells the African dude not to "be a slave." It's not received well. Neither is the idea of not pushing it.
Before Michael's posse leaves the beach, Kate brings up the costumes and fake beards she found. "What if they just want us to think they live like that?" Michael can't let her go any further down that path. Shuts her up with a, "No! I was there! They ARE like that! Honest!"
Desmond's boat is the "Elizabeth" (which of course is the full name of anyone named Libby), out of Newport Beach, CA.
First use of the term "Hostiles" for the Others! Desmond says, "Off to see the Hostiles, are ya?" when Sayid says he needs to borrow the boat to go to the island's north shore.
The Hurley bird! As Michael's posse marches forth, a giant bird flies off a limb above them, and appears (the subtitles even confirm this) to say "Hurley" twice. My working theory on this since learning in Season 5 that the 1977 Dharma folks had a zoo, is that Hurley worked or visited there, and taught this bird to say his name. Now, "27 years later," might it still be alive, loose on the island, and either remembering Hurley or just still saying what it had been taught to say?
Interesting note from Lostpedia: "In the 3/20/08 Podcast, Prominent Lost writer Damon Lindelof does not want to comment on the significance of the Hurley bird." Hmmm, I wonder why not?
Des tells Claire she's wasting her time with the vaccine. He injected himself with it every 9 days for 3 years.
The Four-Toed Foot! Sayid, Sun, and Jin see it from their boat. They come to the camp Michael described. Sayid finds it evacuated, and their Hatch to be nothing but some doors in front of a rock. More about the foot below.

Firemen in Drag Put Out Truck Fire (Video)LOL, Strange News, WTF — By Dave on 2012/03/19 11:12 PM
A truck fire broke out moments before the annual St. Patrick's Day Parade in the small town of Padua, Minnesota.
Fortunately, the all-volunteer firefighting crew from nearby Sedan, Minn., was on hand. One of their members was set to drive the city's new fire truck in the parade, and the others were on a float dressed in drag to entertain the crowd. They grabbed equipment from their truck and put out the blaze in two minutes, some of them adjusting their brightly colored dresses as they did so.

Class Pictures By Dawoud Bey
"For the past fifteen years, Dawoud Bey has been making striking, large-scale color portraits of students at high schools across the United States. Depicting teenagers from a wide economic, social, and ethnic spectrum—and intensely attentive to their poses and gestures—he has created a highly diverse group portrait of a generation that intentionally challenges teenage stereotypes.
Bey spends two to three weeks in each school, taking formal portraits of individual students, each made in a classroom during one forty-five-minute period. At the start of the sitting, each subject writes a brief autobiographical statement. By turns poignant, funny, or harrowing, these revealing words are an integral part of the project, and the subject's statement accompanies each photograph [in the exhibitions, on Dawoud Bey's website and in the Class Pictures book]. Together, the words and images in Class Pictures offer unusually respectful and perceptive portraits that establish Bey as one of the best portraitists at work today."
— Aperture Foundation
The above photoset displays photographs of:
① DeMarco (South Shore High School), 2003
His autobiographical statement:
"I like when people look at a picture of me and be like, "oh, he looks like he'll do something bad like this." Some people might look, like, "oh, he looks like a bad kid, or… like, I can picture him doing… beatin' up somebody or taking something from somebody," whereas that's not me at all. I guess there is a certain look, 'cause I've experienced it before. Like, teachers in school, they're like "oh I thought you was a bad kid, but you're alright," you know. 'Cause I like to prove people wrong so I can make me look better in the end. 'Cause as they get to know me, then they'll see—like I said, I'm a funny person—and they'll see I'm a funny person."
② Omar, 2005
His autobiographical statement:
"I know that I shouldn't but sometimes I wonder how other people look at me. What do they see first? My brown-ness, my beard, my cap, my clothes, the color of my eyes, the design of my T-shirt? I think that people see my skin color first. They probably see me as a brown guy. Then, they might see my black beard and my white kufi (prayer cap) and figure out I am Muslim. They see my most earthly qualities first. Brown, that's the very color of the earth, the mud from which God created us. Sometimes I wonder what color my soul is. I hope that it's the color of heaven."
③ Kevin, 2005
His autobiographical statement:
"When I was about six or seven my father died. This was either the worst or best thing that ever happened to me. In fact, now that I think about it, it was both. That experience was both my blessing and my curse. I don't remember much before the death of my father. For me it feels like that's when life as I know it really began. It's not like I was saddened by the event. I hardly knew my father. His memory only survives in my head because of three scenarios: the way his coarse mustache pricked my cheek when he kissed me, the short collect calls he made from the correctional facility, and the photos that my mother keeps under her bed. After his death my mother became incredibly detached. She became a mere exoskeleton of her former self. With a dead father and a deeply depressed mother who basically stopped living, I had no choice but to take care of myself. I became as self-reliant as possible. There was no more time for childhood. I was all about business. Thanks to the death of my father I learned to value independence, hard work, and maturity. This is my blessing. Thanks to the death of my father I grew up much too fast and never learned how to ask anyone for help. I carry my own burdens…alone. This is my curse."
④ Usha, 2006
Her autobiographical statement:
"I can speak four languages, I am an actress, and when I was about thirty seconds old I reached up and took my dad's glasses off of his face. When I was eight years old, I visited my cousin's school in India. They didn't have a roof, so during the monsoons they got rained on. When I went home, I raised enough money to build them a roof and buy some school supplies."
⑤ Jacob, 2005
His autobiographical statement:
"My name is Jacob Goldstein and I'm 15. My father was Belizean, my mom is American, and I'm Jewish. So I'm one of a kind, you could say. I didn't know my dad because he died when I was little. But I grew up with my mom, and she's raised me all by herself, and she's done a great job. A lot of people thought I was adopted. but, when people think I'm adopted, I really don't think anything of it, I just have to tell them that, no she's my mom and my dad was Black. I identify myself as being Black, but I also identify myself as being Jewish too. I think of myself more as an individual than like any other person, because I'm both, like I'm Jewish and I'm black, so I'm different than most other people. I like being different than other people, I like being a leader, I don't like to follow other people and, what they do. People base too much on the way people look, like the way people dress, like they look at me, and might think, like, I'm in a gang or something. That's just because of the way I dress. You can't really put an identity on someone that you don't really know. When people don't know that much about you and you're just like, oh, I forgot to tell you, I'm Jewish, they're like, what? That's something they'd never expect."
⑥ Lauren, 2006
Her autobiographical statement:
"I'm glad my parents were always there to guide me and help me think of the choices I was making. I like to join a lot of activities, but once something goes wrong, my first thought is to quit. When I tell my parents what happened, they always push me to give it another try and not quit. Without that extra push I wouldn't have been able to do many things, like play basketball, volleyball, swim, or even play the piano."
⑦ Antoine, 2006
His autobiographical statement:
"When I was seven years old my father went to jail, and that left me just with a mother, so she had to play both roles as a mother and father. That only made her stronger. That was kind of a challenge for me, because I had to decide whether or not I wanted to go further than my father. That drove me to become successful. That's when I got into comedy, and I would watch Saturday Night Live. I started watching a lot of movies, and that made me want to get into theater. That's what I want to do now."
⑧ Sarah
Her autobiographical statement:
"I may be different, but I take a silent comfort in my difference. My looks do not define who I am. I know that I am separate from the rest of my school because I look the way I do, not 'Normal.' What is normal anyways? And who decides what is normal? My soul is not dark. I have dealt with pain and misfortunes. I have also had wonderful people and experiences in my life. Everything I go through, the good and the bad, makes me a better person, not just a better person but stronger too. My experiences define who I am. I'll tell you what I see when I look at myself. I see a young woman owning her individuality, being her own leader, not following the crowd, and I see a young woman who learns from everything around her. Now do I seem so strange?"
⑨ Sarah (University of Chicago Laboratory Schools), 2003
Her autobiographical statement:
"My dad's Iranian, and so, my dad didn't want to have me tell that I was Iranian, in um, in my college essay just because I think he might have felt that someone might read it and, you know, be biased against Iranians or something like that, I guess… He's a little sensitive about it sometimes, so. Just because I'm his little girl and he doesn't want me to be hurt by anything. I didn't know whether or not to put it in 'cause, you know, when he first told me not to tell it was sort of like—of course I'm going to tell! It's part of who I am! And then it's sort of—well, you know, maybe, I shouldn't. And then, I just ended up saying that he was foreign born, "my father is foreign born," or something like that. Like I'm not going to hide it from the world; it was just this college essay. I mean I wasn't happy about it at first, but then when I saw it from his point of view, I was like, ok… I've been thinking about relationships a lot, you know, 'cause I'm a teenager—that's what they do! Like, you know, why do people get married in general? I mean I think it's wonderful and I'm like a die-hard romantic, but it just, it's… I don't know… the whole state is really bizarre. My father, you know, he used to leave… 'cause, my parents are separated—they're not divorced yet. But, um, I just… I think it was always hard for me, you know, take him to the airport and watch Daddy go, and it was like—oooh!—you know, it's just no good. But seeing him again is always really wonderful. It's just the missing that hurts, you know… But I think that you can get used to almost, like, any condition. I'd like to say I'd be more careful before I try to fall in love, but I won't, you know, 'cause I think it just happens: you just fall in love, that's it—boom—and then it's there and… But then there's the whole, does it just disappear one day? And it's just, it's just sort of depressing."
⑩ Danny
His autobiographical statement:
"Well, I like to think of myself as an outgoing, outspoken person. But in reality I'm really a quiet guy. People see me and they see a crazy party freak that likes to enjoy himself. But I'm really not that person. I'm a homebody type of guy, with a really good heart that loves life and people with really beautiful personalities."

Hallowe'en: Good or Evil?
In elementary school I had a friend who wasn't allowed to celebrate Halloween because her mom was a freaky evangelical who though it was an affront to Jesus. My parents weren't believers, and in our house the holiday was very much celebrated (in fact, my Dad still gives my sister and I Halloween greeting cards every year; they usually include a pun), so understanding why one would deny their child the joys of costumes and candy troubled my tiny brain.
So, Halloween: good or evil? When you were a kid what was your impression of October 31st?

Learn to Fly - 390 Reviews
The water was comfortably hot, and the mountains of bubbles hid their bodies. Gia stretched out her limbs, placed her head on Lucas' chest and sighed contently. His eyes were closed, and his other hand was hanging out from the edge of the bathtub, squeezing the yellow rubber duck he'd found.
Gia and Lucas were up in the bathroom which was connected to her room, taking advantage of the rare moment of solitude. It was very rare that both Gerard and Lindsey were gone, and Bandit wasn't ransacking the house like a tiny little Godzilla. Everything was quiet, apart from the sloshing of the water when one of them moved.
"We should have candles," Gia muttered sleepily, breaking the silence.
"That's so cheesy," Lucas grinned. His eyes remained closed, but he sunk into the water a bit deeper, which forced Gia to climb up so that her head was now level with his neck. "I haven't been this relaxed in weeks," he admitted.
"Aww, is Hazel giving you boys a tough time?" Gia mocked. It's been a few weeks since Hazel told Danny about the baby. It was a tough decision for Danny, but eventually he'd decided to do the responsible thing and take care of the kid with Hazel. Because of this she moved in with the two boys who, while a bit disgruntled that their bachelor pad was being invaded by a lady, were still both okay with Hazel living with them. The only problem is, now Hazel had began to make herself more at home.
"It's nothing to laugh about," Lucas complained. "She's... redecorating. Has me and Danny moving furniture, painting walls, carrying heavy stuff... And the chores, they're the worst. And we can't just drink straight out of a carton anymore. No, we have to be so fucking fancy and use cups. Can you believe it?"
Gia laughed. "Oh yeah, you poor boys, having to actually do something around the apartment." She picked up the bottle of bath bubbles and poured some more into the tub. She swirled her hand around in the water so it would start bubbling - as if there weren't enough bubbles already.
"I'm gonna smell like a girl after this," Lucas said when the strong scent of raspberry came wafting up from the water. "Danny's gonna laugh himself to death."
Gia laughed lightly, nuzzling her face to the crook of his beck. "You smell fine."
"Yeah, to you maybe. Guys aren't supposed to smell like bath bombs and bubble... shit. Whatever it is that you put in here," he sighed.
"And what are guys supposed to smell like?"
"Manly and sweaty, fresh out of a dangerous battle to the death, like big, burly men with hairy chests."
Gia ran a finger across his chest, a smile playing on her lips. "No hair. What now?"
"It was a metaphor," he grunted in the manner that made it clear how displeased he was by the fact that his chest was smooth like a baby's bottom.
"Also, apart from your ego there's really only one part of you I'd call big," she grinned and slid her hand lower underwater, finding quickly what she was looking for. But the second she touched it, he flinched so much that at least a galleon of the water fell over the edge and onto the floor tiles.
"Don't do that unless you're planning on finishing what you start," he said with a hint of a scolding tone in his voice. "You know what it does to me."
"Sorry," she apologized. Lucas slid back into the water so that it was up to his collarbone. He started to shape himself a beard from the bubbles. Gia sat up as properly as she could. She was still half on top of him, since the bathtub wasn't exactly big enough for two people, so when she sat up, the water reached only the lower halves of her breasts. She found it amusing that being like this with a boy would've been impossible for her two years ago, yet now it seemed so natural to soak naked in a tub of bubbles with her boyfriend. She could care less how naked she was in front of him. Not like he hadn't seen it all before. It was just... comfortable.
"Well now that you brought it up," Lucas said, stroking his bubble-beard thoughtfully, raising an eyebrow. "When are we going to do it?"
"I mean, I know you have this... Weird... Abstinence thing going on. But we do so much other stuff, why not go all the way? I mean there's no rush, I can wait, it's just... I don't really get the logic."
Gia hated it when he brought that up. She didn't like the pressure. Sure, she was fine when they were, for example, taking a bath together, or making out, or if they even went a little bit further than that. But have real, proper sex? "I guess I'm just scared. Look at what happened to Hazel. And I've been pregnant, too. I don't want that to happen," she explained, and in order to avoid his eyes, she watched her own hand which was now gathering bubbles to one big mountain. "Besides, I suppose this sounds pretty stupid but... I don't want it to happen just because we're horny."
"Okay," Lucas said, though he didn't quite understand.
"Okay, so you know Sean?"
Lucas nodded. "Your ex-boyfriend you had a lot of sex with, yeah I've heard of him."
"With him it was just sex. You know? I didn't love him. I didn't even particularly like him, but maybe I would've grown to like him if we would have taken the time to stop fucking like animals and actually talked."
Lucas frowned at the 'fucking like animals' bit. He wasn't a particularly jealous boyfriend, but he doubted any guy wanted to hear that from their girlfriend.
"I want it to matter with you," Gia continued with a sigh and finally looked at him in the eyes. "Is that so bad?"
"No," he replied and sat up so he could kiss her. The beard of bubbles got on her chin, leaving a little goatee which he proceeded to wipe off with his thumb. "Besides, I guess this way your dad will have one less reason to hate me."
"He doesn't hate you," Gia reminded. "At least not now that he knows you could be so much worse."
"Oh no, that whole thing with Danny doesn't mean he likes me any more than he did before," Lucas scoffed. "He just tolerates me so you wouldn't go off doing guys like Danny."
"That's enough for now, isn't it?" she asked. "He'll learn to like you eventually. There's plenty of time."
That brought a very disturbing thought to Lucas' mind. It was something he'd been thinking about for a while, and it made him very uneasy. He pulled away from her slightly and opened his mouth to say something, but instantly closed it out of fear that he'd make her upset.
"What is it?"
"Is there time, though?" he asked, now looking a tad concerned.
"What do you mean?"
"Well, you know how many high school relationships actually last after high school. It's not a big number. Let's face it, we probably won't end up in the same college, if I get in at all. You have your fancy Yale and we both know I'm never going there."
"You're not saying... you want to break up?" Gia asked, her eyes as wide as saucers.
"No!" he instantly cried out, panicked by the fact that she jumped to that conclusion. "That's exactly what I'm worried will happen, though. I don't want it to."
"Look, at the risk of sounding like a bad, soppy romantic chick-flick, I really, really want this to last and I'd like to believe it will. I know we're seventeen so it seems unlikely but... Haven't been through enough already? Just don't worry about it," she told him calmingly. "We'll cross those bridges when we come to them."
Lucas nodded, but he wasn't completely assured until her soft, pink lips touched his. They could have spent the rest of the evening like that, soaking in the water that was now cooling down, until all of the bubbles were gone, their bodies entwined, simply enjoying the now. But alas, as their bad luck seemed to always interfere, they heard the distant sound of a car drive up to the driveway. They both knew what that meant. The crazy father was home.
Gia was the one who broke off the kiss. "I guess that's over, then," she sighed. She knew that the second her father got home, he'd want to make sure nothing sinful was going on up in his daughter's room.
The blonde rose from the bathtub, but Lucas remained in the water, watching her with a small smile on his lips.
"Like what you see?" she laughed when she realized he was staring. She wrapped a fluffy towel around her body, drying herself off. "You have to get out soon, my dad will kill you if he finds you naked in my bathtub."
"Yeah, I'm gonna need a moment," he said and nodded his head at his midriff which was still underwater. Though Gia couldn't see, she knew exactly what he meant.
"Take your time, I'll distract him," she assured him and dropped the towel into the hamper before leaving with her ass shaking, knowing he was still watching, and left to bathroom to go to her bedroom, still not a piece of clothing on her.
"You're not exactly helping," he called out to her as she was leaving, and he could only hear her laugh before she closed the door.

FRANKFORT, KY (AP) - The Kentucky Supreme Court has ordered a new sentencing hearing for a western Kentucky man convicted of killing his aunt, then fleeing to Costa Rica before being captured.
Chief Justice James Minton ruled Thursday that 45-year-old Russell E. Winstead cannot legally be sentenced to life in prison with parole after 25 years consecutive to any other sentence.
Winstead was convicted in August 2007 of killing 85-year-old Ann Branson, a well-known Madisonville businesswoman who was found dead in her basement on Jan. 12, 2003.
Winstead was also sentenced to 20 years for robbery consecutive to the life sentence.
Winstead was arrested in May 2005 outside a hotel and casino in Costa Rica. As part of the extradition agreement, prosecutors agreed not to seek the death penalty.

Center of the Univers
View Single Post

Analyzed. It makes several faulty connections.
1) The average density of the inteseller hydrogen is quite low, meaning that it should not interact. True some was formed in the past, but not nearly enough. Remember, the hydrogen atoms would have to get close enough to each other through mutual gravitation, which needless to say is extremely feeble.
2) As I stated, the references are old, so it is of no surprise it does not deal at all with the modern Big Ban (also called Inflationary big bang). In this version of it the problems of anisotropy are no longer present.
3 The claim that the universe must have been a black hole. While it is generally claimed the universe had some initial singularity, as I had mentioned in some other thread, the BB signularity is a fundamentally different singularity than that in your typical black hole. Also to boot, the properties of physics themselves as well as the strengths of the 4 forces were very different in the early universe (and yes not all of that is theoretical. Particle accelerators have verified that as we get to higher energy levels the behaviors of forces do change, for example, the weak nuclear force and the electromagnetic force couple into the electro-weak force. At even higher temperatures [which we haven't reached yet so this is not yet verified directly] the strong force joins in, and then eventually at the instants of creation so does gravity). Again also it does not take into account the inflationary Big Bang in which quantum fluctuations essentially turn the gravitational field from what is classified as a tensor field into a scalar field and cause immediate exponential expansion until freezing out and returning to normal.
As I said, all this is well documented and a bit of research from credible sources will show it.

Welfare rankings from multivariate data, a nonparametric approach
AbstractEconomic and social welfare is inherently multidimensional. However, choosing a measure which combines several indicators is difficult and may have unintendend and undesirable effects on the incentives of policy makers. We develop a nonparametric empirical method for deriving welfare rankings for a social planner based on data envelopment, which avoids the need to specify a weighting scheme. We apply this method to data on Human Development.

Midland Junior Premiership under 12s
Rushall Olympic 2 Northfield Town 0
This was a depleted squad that met top flyers Northfield as injuries and district duty plagued the Pics for this tie.
But Rushall came out and looked comfortable in the first half, quick to close down any efforts arising from the Northfield boys.
The Pics looked strong at the back, with Joel Chapman having individual battles down the right and stepping up to the plate.
Jack Kemp played left back and linked up well with Harvey Paget and Callum Smith narrowly missed a couple of chances, as did the Town.
Rushall came out strong again in the second half and sensed they could get a result.
Harvey Paget was brought down in the box and Rushall was gifted a penalty kick. Oliver Round stepped up to take it and what looked a great strike was clawed out by Northfield's keeper.
A re-take was requested by the referee, giving Oli the chance to bury the second attempt.
This spurred on Rushall and Northfield battled all over the park but found it tough to break through the back line of the Pics; when they did, the safe hands of Dylan Green helped to keep the sheet clean.
Against the run of play, Rushall broke free and a ball to Callum Smith enabled him to find the top corner for Rushall's second and a well-deserved three points.
Star Man: Dylan Green
Midland Junior Premiership Major Cup under 12s
Rushall Olympic 1 Walsall Phoenix 3
This was a much-awaited return to football for the young Pics, who have not played since mid January.
Phoenix looked the sharper and more comfortable of the sides, creating the earlier chances, but Rushall soaked up the pressure while Dylan Green the Pics' No1 saved any strikes on goal.
Rushall never really threatened the Walsall boys but one of Callum Smith's chances came close and was turned away by a tidy keeper. Phoenix were very unlucky not to be a couple up at half time.
Rushall were a little more composed and balanced as the second half began. Both squads lost possession with foul throws and Rushall seemed to have lost a little discipline and desire as the game progressed.
A free kick just outside the box gave Rushall their first real chance of the game. Captain Oli Round stepped up and dutifully put the Pics a goal ahead.
The Walsall boys dominated the half, having plenty of chances. A great effort looked like it had been cleared but looped over Rushall's keeper and ended up in the back of the net for an own goal.
The Pics looked weary into extra time and Walsall piled on the pressure. A great goal for Walsall gave them a well deserved lead in this half. Rushall, with a tank on empty, conceded another goal in the second half.
Star Man: Dylan Green

FC Perton 0 Pelsall Villa Colts u14 2
Perton made a couple of chances while Pelsall were napping but nothing came of the match until ten minutes from the end when Daniel Caunt received the ball from Harry Shaw, did a fake shot round the defender and cooly placed the ball past the keeper into the bottom corner. Five minutes later Daniel out paced two Perton defenders to get Pelsall's second and his brace.
Man of the Match – Tom Brough

Walsall JYFL League Match under 14s
Pelsall Villa Colts 8 Chasetown 2
Pelsall were on top form with this 10-goal thriller.
They went into the lead after 15 minutes when Daniel Caunt put one past the keeper, with his second goal coming not many minutes later.
A corner from Harry Shaw saw George Hill heading one home, and then George got his brace minutes later. A free kick from Harry Shaw left the goalkeeper standing.
Chasetown pulled one back but were unable to get into the game. Daniel Caunt got a third, then Pelsall were awarded a penalty, taken by keeper Calum Bickley who put it straight into the top corner.
Chasetown got another but could not stop Daniel getting his fourth and Pelsall's eighth.
The entire Pelsall team performed brilliantly with some superb attacking and defensive football. What a brilliant game!

Rushall Olympic 2 Heather St. Johns 1
Rushall had enjoyed a long rest over Christmas and New Year break and with last week's match being postponed, they were eager to play.
The game was held at Leamington Cricket Club – a great facility and playing surface.
Rushall started a little slowly and Heather had the greater of the possession but the Pics Rushall defended well, dealing confidently with the attacks that were rained upon them.
It was a poor start for the young Pics and Heather were unlucky to go to the break and not be in the lead.
Rushall looked tighter in the second half, closing down quicker and playing the football the support had been expecting.
Callum Smith was denied a goal, thanks to a great save from Heather's no1, but pressing on, the Pics were awarded a free kick left side outside the box.
Up stepped Joe Merrick with a rocket of a strike, finding the top corner and giving the keeper no chance. Notwithstanding Rushall's goal, Heather kept up their momentum and soon equalised with a well worked team effort.
Mason Heard returned the favour with a cracking through ball to find Callum Smith, dutifully pulling the trigger and adding to his season's goal tally. Callum was also denied by the post after some wonderful individual skill later in the half. Dillon Green pulled off a great save late on, damage done and another hard fought victory for Rushall.
Star Man: Joe Merrick (outstanding defence)

Leamington FC 0 Rushall Olympic 2
The young Pics had enjoyed two wins in a row and were looking forward to this away tie in Warwickshire, having fought a close game in the first leg against Leamington.
It was a very scrappy first 10 minutes for both teams, with no real chance falling to either side.
Once they'd settled down, Rushall played a stronger game, dominating the first half. They not only had some great possession, they seemed to show their development as a team, with all the players controlling position in their areas.
A loose ball delivered from the 'keeper was put under control instantly by Callum Smith, who then passed to Lucas Fallon whose head up gave him a chance to lob the Leamington's No1, giving the Pics the lead going into the break and a well deserved goal from the captain.
Rushall defended well in the second half, limiting the threat of an equaliser. There were some superb performances and great individual efforts from Niall Rolinson and Sam Pearse didn't go unnoticed.
Sam's throw in found Callum Smith, who punished Leamington with another goal to add to this season's tally. It was a fantastic all-round performance from Rushall.

Rugby Town Juniors 1 Rushall Olympic 2
This was a much welcome away fixture for the young Pics after a long run of home ties.
It was a slow start for both squads but especially Rushall, who battled against the wind in the first half.
A long-range free kick was awarded to Rugby and it was the only real chance of the half. It was a great effort, helped by the wind, and the home team took the lead deep into the half.
Lucas Fallon had a long-range effort narrowly wide of the post. Cameron East came on as sub for Rushall and he quickly made his mark, running the right wing and he soon scored to tie at the end of the first half.
Again, the wind played a big part of the game as they went into the second half with both teams trying to keep the ball under control.
It was a better half for Rushall; they had the greater possession and they kept battling with long-range shots. One was fired at the keeper, with Callum Smith managed to get Rushall's second – and winning goal – with a gallant off-the-floor effort.
The return of Oli Round helped secure the win for the young Pics.

Shelfield 1 Pelsall Villa Colts 3
Pelsall were back on form this week following last week's defeat to Beechdale. Nothing could stop them with fabulous performances from all of the lads. Pelsall went ahead after 20 minutes with a goal from Daniel Caunt. Shelfield pulled one back before half time.
Second half saw Pelsall come out fighting, with Tom Brough back from injury and Jack Proud brilliant in defence. There was also the usual excellent performance from Connor Meehan.
Luke Edmunds made a couple of chances, which didn't quite find the back of the net, but eventually Harry Shaw made it 2-1 and Kieron Francis added to the tally, making the final score 3-1.

Rushall Olympic 4 Chesterton 2
Rushall started strongly with an apparent desire to pass the ball around the park. They won most of the ball through midfield and looked sharp.
The defence were quick to notice a potential threat from a talented No 8 for Chesterton and Tom Day was quick to close him down.
A few chances fell to Rushall, which were dealt with well by Chesterton, and some give and take challenges for both squads were punished by the referee.
One chance fell to Chesterton and they saw themselves a goal up as the teams went into half time.
After the break, Joel Chapman returned to the Pics following an injury and within minutes assisted the equaliser for the Pics, threading a lovely ball to Callum Smith who went on to finish.
Not long after, Smithy claimed his second with a great passage of play.
Rushall were awarded a free kick just outside the box and Mason Herd stepped up to the helm, placing a great ball into the top corner.
Rushall contined to work well along the back line and had most of the possession. A loose ball in the Pics box led to a hand ball and a penalty chance was awarded to Chesterton, taking the score to 3-2.
There was some great football played by Rushall, who pressed to finish the tie. Another free kick was awarded to Rushall, which rattled around the box and left sided keeper Harvey Paget finished with a great goal on the right side of the pitch.

Rushall Olympic 0 Hinckley Juniors 3
This home tie at Walsall Cricket Club saw the young Pics against top-of-the-table Hinckley. Hinckley began as the sharper team in the first half, piling on the pressure. A corner ball for Hinckley left the Pics trailing by a goal early on and Rushall never really got going until the last five minutes of the first half, forcing a great save from the Hinckley No 1 and the post denying Rushall the equaliser.
Tom Day was back to his best and kept it tighter at the back for Rushall, while Lucas Fallon was a little frustrated after hitting a thumping shot from half way, just wide.
Rushall were dealt another early blow in the second half, when their defence, which was a little out of shape, panicked on the ball and allowed Hinckley to finish their second.
A chance for Rushall fell to Callum Smith, and a square pass to Lucas Fallon had one-on-one with the keeper but a fingertip save ensured the clean sheet. A knock-on from Rushall's midfield gifted Hinckley the third of the game to finish the half.
It was a work in progress for Rushall and a well-deserved win for Hinckley.
Star Men: Lucas Fallon and Tom Day

Rushall Olympic 2 Stourbridge Juniors 4
Rushall had a slightly diluted squad for this tie against Stourbridge, however it was great morning for football on a fantastic playing surface.
Stoubridge started the stronger of the two, passing the ball with ease amongst themselves.
After 8 minutes, Stourbridge were awarded a penalty, which their No 3 neatly finished, leaving the Pics trailing.
Stourbridge continued to pile on the pressure, giving Rushall little option but to attack.
After 15 minutes, a ball over the top from Lucas Fallon found Callum Smith and with pace and ability, he scored the equaliser for Rushall.
Rushall were still under the cosh and gave a free kick away on the edge of the area. It was saved initially by Connor Taylor but followed in, leaving the Pics trailing at half time.
Five minutes into the second half saw Rushall finding their shape after a few changes. Lucas Fallon again threaded the ball to Callum Smith, who dutifully found the equaliser.
Captain Oli Round found himself bench-bound with an on-going knee injury and the pressure was on again for Rushall, with free kicks awarded to both sides all over the park.
Tom Day, who had a great game, held it as tight as he could. Another penalty was awarded to Stourbridge for an unjust challenge in the box, which gave them the lead once again. Stourbridge, with no let up, scored the fourth with a great passage of play and a fully justified win.
A great physical game and thanks go to a very busy referee and Steve Stuart for his linesman duties.

Pelsall Villa Colts 8 FC Premier 0
Pelsall were on fire within minutes of the kick off, with Kieran Francis putting them ahead with an early goal. There was no stopping these lads and goals could have been even more plentiful had it not been for the excellent FC Premier keeper who amazingly stopped shot after shot. Half time saw Pelsall 5-0 up.
Second half saw Pelsall maintaining the pressure on the undaunted FC Premier.
There were goals galore in this match, with Todd Edmunds, Kieran Francis and Jakub Pryzbul netting one each, a brace from Harry Shaw and a three from Daniel Caunt getting his hat-trick.
The Colts were fantastic in defence with great performances from Jack Proud and man of the match George Hill. A special mention for Connor Meehan who never fails to deliver 100%.

Jakub Pryzbul sent a lovely through-ball to Harry Shaw who took it round the keeper to make it 3-0 at half time.
It was all Pelsall's match but late into the second half FC Perton pulled one back. Calum Bickley in goal and George Hill in defence both gave superb performances.

Plenty of rain through the night didn't help the playing surface and there was a soft pitch for the squads to do battle.
However, the Pics hammered home the first, with Lucas Fallon threading a great ball to Callum Smith within seconds of the kick off, leaving everyone bemused over the speed of the goal.
However, Rushall were missing a couple of players and consequently never really got the half underway.
Playing in the England kit, Northfield soon dusted down and replied with an equaliser.
Another great effort from Callum Smith fell wide of the post, which led to Northfield's second after a ball was driven through the box. An unfortunate own goal for the Pics left them trailing at the break.
The Pics looked more composed in the second half and both squads playing some great football.
Pressure in midfield put the pressure on Northfield as Rushall searched for the equaliser.
Another couple of chances fell to the Pics and they were unlucky not to finish. A great passage of play from Northfield split the Pics' defence for a clinical finish 3-1, although the Pics were unlucky not to add to the tally to end the game.

Rushall Olympic 2 West Bromwich Albion Colts 2
The Baggies started the brighter of the two teams with some lovely flowing football.
West Brom, with a good pass rate, soon got a shot off. With Rushall's current No1 out with illness, it was up to Connor Taylor to put his gloves on produce a great save.
Although West Brom looked the better foot balling side, the young Pics held their own with some fine defending.
A great passage of play left Lucas Fallon in space outside the box to take a screamer of a shot, denied by a good keeper but padded out to find ever present Callum Smith to tuck away Rushall's first.
Again, having the better of the second half, the Baggies rained the attacks on Rushall, only to be saved by Conner or cleared by Oliver Round who was having a fantastic game.
A pass back to the keeper gifted Rushall an indirect free kick, unfortunately defended well and came to nothing.
The awareness of Harry Howes assisted the Pics' second when he was bought down in the box after constantly pressurising the left back. Joe Merrick stepped up and the penalty dutifully tucked away.
Thanks to West Brom and their families for a great, well-played match with second-to-none friendly support.

Rushall Olympic 3 Walsall Phoenix 3
With immaculate facilities at Aldridge Cricket Club and a pitch looking second to none, this was a great morning for football, with a slippery fast surface to contend with.
Rushall's defence held up well with Joel Chapman playing a blinder at right back. The majority of the game was played in midfield but there were no real chances falling to these equally matched sides.
A flicked-on header gave Callum Smith a shot that was too hot to hold and was spilled by the new Phoenix keeper. Callum, quick to respond, slid into a great finish for Rushall's first of the game.
Walsall was quick to pull it back with a tidy equaliser, punishing a loose ball. Phoenix claimed another within two minutes off a free kick.
There were a few changes at half time for the Pics but Joel Chapman kept it tidy for Rushall.
A corner was awarded to Rushall, which gave Joe Merrick the chance to take the dead ball, whip it with great pace and find the head of Oliver Round, who added a fantastic equaliser.
Rushall substitutions made them a little nervous but a couple of goal line clearances from Ben Lillie kept the fight alive.
This was followed by a wonder strike from Joe Merrick who found the head of Lucas Fallon who calmly nodded away the third from yet another well-worked corner.
A great run from Phoenix gifted them a late equaliser.
It was a fantastic game, played in good spirits.

Rushall Olympic 2 Ambleside Juniors 2
Both squads were equally matched, testing each other out in the first 15 minutes. The Pics fell to a well worked goal later in the half but Jack Kemp, who was on fire in the last couple of matches, soon returned the favour with a great individual effort.
The second half saw some substitutions, which made Rushall a little shaken and a tad disjointed at first.
They soon looked the stronger of the two but they were dealt another blow and found themselves trailing again.
Not fazed by this, the Pics worked from the back and into midfield, finding Lucas Fallon. He slotted the ball to find Jack Kemp, who placed the ball home for a well-deserved draw.
It was a good clean game throughout and was a joy to watch. Thanks to Ambleside for a great game. We're looking forward to the return match.

Walsall Cricket Club
Rushall Olympic 2 Leamington FC 1
This is a fantastic home venue for the Pics; the pitch and presentation are all to be commended, so a big thank you goes to Walsall CC for their help with the ground.
Leamington started the brighter in this tie. Most of the game fell within the midfield and 10 minutes in there was a goal for the visitors, thanks to a great strike by their no9 Dion Love, which left the Pics trailing.
Undeterred, Rushall got their act together and began to play the better football. A clearance from Dylan Green gave Mason Herd the chance to tuck away the equaliser into the break.
Pics defence held tight in the second half, with only a few balls reaching the safe hands of Harvey Paget.
It was a very equal half, with no real clear cut chances. On at half time, Callum Smith led the attack for the Pics and an over-the-shoulder gifted him with a 50 / 50 with the keeper and his punishing pace and a wonderful finish ensured the points were Rushall's.
Thanks to a fair referee and Leamington FC squad and the parents

Rushall Olympic 2 CS Colts 1
Pics look fit and they hammered three to four shots on target early on at a keeper who looked hard to get past.
Being on a 60-yard pitch never really let the game flow to Rushall's advantage, with players on top of one another.
The Pics had the majority of possession in the first half and could have been three or four up but were found with a goal deficit after a cheap free kick was awarded CS.
Again CS's No1 had a great half but nothing would have stopped a great threaded ball from Callum Smith that found the feet of Mason Herd, who produced an equaliser as the game approached half-time.
After a few subs, Rushall started the second half by dominating the field and were awarded a free kick, which was taken and drilled home by Joe Merrick. Unfortunately this was disallowed by the Pics' own Ref as the whistle was never blown!
The retake was stopped, to the despair of the lads on the pitch.
The CS keeper battled hard to try and keep the game at a draw, picking up a full ball in the face and 50 / 50 challenge on the floor, rising to applause and carrying on.
Another free kick was awarded to the Pics and Joe Merrick found the net with another thumping strike.
Many thanks to all management and staff for getting the new look under 12s ready for a competitive season in this league.

Work to begin on Wilberforce Health Centre
Posted: December 04, 2009|
WORK on a £15m health centre in Hull is expected to get underway in the new year, the Mail can reveal.
Wilberforce Health Centre will be built on the site of the former Gratton store in Story Street, city centre.
It will be transformed into a walk-in GP service – open between 8am and 8pm 365 days a year – for both registered and non-registered patients.
GPs will relocate from surgeries in the area, as well as dental, sexual health and addictions services.
The centre, also a base for paramedics, is being developed by Citycare – a partnership between primary care trust NHS Hull and construction company Sewell Group.
Jo Barnes, chief executive of Citycare, said: "It has been an incredibly busy year for Citycare with the completion of three significant schemes for us – further enhancing the city's health estate for NHS Hull."
Other health projects include Kingswood Health Centre, Bilton Grange Health Centre and The Orchard Centre.
The Orchard Centre, in Orchard Park, north Hull, opens this month at a cost of £14m.
Mr Barnes said: "Now, 2010 looks set to be just as successful.
"We are delighted to have exchanged contracts on the scheme and be starting on site within the next couple of weeks.
"We will be working very closely with local businesses and residents to ensure the construction phase runs as smoothly as possible."
Christopher Long, chief executive of NHS Hull, said: "Wilberforce Health Centre will provide a range of high-quality health services for the people of Hull.
"Its location in the heart of the city centre means that thousands of residents will benefit from a variety of services delivered in modern, welcoming surroundings.
"This marks another step forward in the delivery of real choice and convenience for patients and the public in Hull."
Bulldozers are expected to begin preparing the site in January.
Citycare expects the centre to be open by "late 2011 – slightly later than previously stated.

Why We Seldom Hear The Gospel Preached
- Thursday, November 21, 2013
Editor's Note: Pastor Roger Barrier's "Ask Roger" column regularly appears at Preach It, Teach It. Every week at Crosswalk, Dr. Barrier puts nearly 40 years of experience in the pastorate to work answering questions of doctrine or practice for laypeople, or giving advice on church leadership issues. Email him your questions at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Seduced by relevance and relationships, I found it easy to neglect the cost inherent the Gospel. Relevance and relationships are great tools for getting people to come and enjoy church.
However, I have noticed among many churches and church leaders a thundering silence when it comes to sharing the true essence of the Gospel.
Dietrich Bonheoffer put the Gospel like this: "When Jesus Christ calls a man He bids him come and die."
In fact, I dare say that the Gospel is not fully communicated until people have enough understanding to say, "No."
Jesus put it like this to the rich young ruler: "Go and sell all that you have and come and follow me." Jesus looked on him with compassion as he turned to walk away. I can imagine the disciples thinking, "Surely, Jesus didn't mean like that. Surely, he will call him back. We need people like him. But, Jesus did mean it that way and He let him walk away.
Bonheoffer put it terms of cheap grace and costly grace: "Cheap grace doesn't cost a person anything, and leads to Hell. Costly grace costs a person everything that he has, and leads to Heaven."
A.W. Tozer, a Canadian pastor and writer put it like this: "Thank you America. You've given us instant coffee, instant TV dinners, instant communications and now you have bequeathed to the world instant Christianity by which a person can walk down the aisle of a church and say, "I believe in Jesus," and in thirty seconds complete a divine transaction that he/she need seldom think of ever again."
In a generation of relevance and relationships, it's easy to keep quiet about the cost of discipleship.
Once upon a time I was in a small group discussing the importance of understanding different cultures and responding accordingly. We were studying was Acts where Paul was preaching to the Greek inteligencia about Jesus and the Resurrection. We discussed how Paul referred to their idol dedicated to an "Unknown God" (just in case they had forgotten one). He spoke in terms that identified with his audience and with their cultural understandings.
A discussion ensured about how to make the church more relevant to our contemporary culture. We stopped there and it was time for fellowship and refreshments. But first, I asked for permission to address an intriguing sidelight to the passage which only comes through in Greek.
Unlike English, Greek words are masculine, feminine or neuter and are declined accordingly. In Greek the word "Jesus" is masculine and the word "Resurrection" is feminine. The Athenians thought Paul was introducing them to a pair of new gods named "Jesus" and his female compatriot named "Resurrection". They listened gladly until it dawned on them that Paul was really talking about a new God named, "Jesus" and his physical resurrection. About that time Paul got to the point of the Gospel: "God commands everyone to repent…" Most of the Greeks began mocking Paul and his speech, called him the "Babbler" and climbed down the hill. They faced the Gospel's demands and they rejected it. Several remained and wanted to hear more.
That night, Paul, scorned by the most prominent philosophers of his day, spent the most depressed night of his life.

The Best Burgers of the Upper West Side
by Megan Bungeroth, Mayara Guimaraes, Regan Hofmann and Amanda Woods
New Yorkers have been searching for the best burger in the city since the dawn of time. But the West Side Spirit wanted to find out, where can Upper West Siders get the best burger without having to leave the neighborhood? We scouted out popular burger joints, from the highbrow to the divey, and rated their signature sandwiches accordingly. Check out our reviews, then tell us what you think at nypress.com/best-burger-uws, The winner of our reader poll will be featured in our Best of Manhattan issue this fall. In the meantime, we encourage you to embark on a taste test.
The Sunburnt Calf
226 W. 79th St., 646-823-9255, moolifegroup.com
The Burger with the Lot (lettuce, tomato, cheese, bacon, fried egg, onion, pineapple, beets); $12
Juiciness: 5
Flavor: 5
Inventiveness: 5
Bun: 4
Value: 3
Preparation: 4
Side: fries: 4
Presentation: 4
The Burger with the Lot is no less than an explosion on a plate—a delicious explosion, that is. The burger is intimidating at first, and it takes a while to figure out how to tackle eating it. A slice down the middle and some knife and fork action does the trick, though. This Australian classic combines a variety of flavors that blend well together—the bacon provided just the right amount of savoriness, while the pineapple and beet added an unmistakable sweetness. The egg, stained pink in some places from the beet, is cooked perfectly; not too hard, but not runny, either. The burger doesn't need any ketchup or other seasoning—it is perfectly flavored as it comes. The front of the restaurant has a pub atmosphere, but the back of the eatery transforms into a small oasis, the walls covered with paintings of Australian landscapes in shades of orange and amber with a dark blue backdrop. The wait staff is friendly and attentive, and their Australian accents will have you imagining that you momentarily stepped out of New York City. If you're hungry enough for a piled-high burger and you're looking for a short getaway, The Sunburnt Calf is the place to try.
5 Napkin Burger
2315 Broadway, 212-333-4488, 5napkinburger.com
Burger: Original 5 Napkin Burger (gruyère cheese, caramelized onions, rosemary aioli); $14.95
Juiciness: 5
Flavor: 5
Inventiveness: 3
Bun: 4
Value: 3
Preparation: 4
Side: fries: 5
Presentation: 4
The boast inherent in 5 Napkin Burger's name implies that one would want a meal so messy it requires an abnormal amount of face-wiping to get through it. While the 5 Napkin Burger itself lives up to that name, it wouldn't kill the establishment to aim for perhaps three or four napkins. The juice dribbling down your chin as you bite into the burger notwithstanding, the flavor is well above average. If you order a burger medium rare (recommended), be prepared for it to crumble a bit and sop up the extra bits with the roll. The toppings of the standard burger work well together, though the rosemary aioli gets lost amidst the sharp cheese and onions, and the burger still needs a dose of ketchup. The accompanying fries, which make the meal more of an affordable deal, are thin and crunchy, as they should be. The restaurant's other burger variations are done well, and if they have a special, it's a good bet it will be a tasty one.
Amsterdam Ale House
340 Amsterdam Ave., 212-362-7260, amsterdamalehouse.com
Burger: Angus Burger with American cheese and seasoned fries; $11.95 ($1 extra for cheese)
Juiciness: 4
Flavor: 5
Inventiveness: 3
Bun: 5
Value: 4
Preparation: 4
Side: 3
Labor: 3
Presentation: 4
Ninety-five percent of reasonable burger eaters will agree that English muffins are not hamburger buns. Apparently nobody told the Amsterdam Ale House this–and thank god. The grilled muffin stands up to the juicy, remarkably well-seasoned patty better than a regular bun, though even it had began to disintegrate by the final bites, unable to stand up to the challenge. Though it wasn't entirely clear what the "seasoning" on the fries was besides salt, the thin-cut, skin-on crisps were tasty, a better choice than the well-fried but slightly too sweet onion rings or cinnamon-and-sugar sweet potato fries. The place has a cleanly, pubby vibe, with oversized front windows to let in the light of day and an above-average beer selection, with hard-to-find cask ales, to make you want to stick around till the sun goes down.
Big Nick's Burger
and Pizza Joint
2175 Broadway, 212-362-9238, bignicksnyc.com
Burger: Mozzarella Burger; $8.25
Juiciness: 4
Flavor: 3
Inventiveness: 3
Bun: 2
Value: 3
Preparation: 4
Side: fries: 3
Presentation: 3
This so-called "greasy spoon" spot might intimidate first-time visitors unless they're prepared for what they'll see. The place has its own charm, with pictures all over the walls and handwritten menu items glued everywhere. It's a little dirty and a little dated. The best way to describe the burger here is with the word "medium." It's not excellent, but it's not terrible either. If you go, order medium rare for taste, and maybe complement the choice with some bacon. The bun tasted old and very dry, but the patty itself was quite good. The French fries are a fine addition, and you can also choose waffle fries. The place is so eccentric and the menu so huge, it's worth going and trying a few things out.
Shake Shack
366 Columbus Ave., 646-747-8770, shakeshack.com
Burger: Single Shackburger (cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles, Shack sauce); $4.55
Juiciness: 3
Flavor: 4
Inventiveness: 3
Bun quality: 3
Value: 5
Preparation: 3
Side: fries (extra) 4
Presentation: 3
The Upper West Side outpost of Danny Meyer's fast food burger joint has perfected consistently delicious burgers. While the standard Shackburger contains a somewhat thin beef patty that is cooked slightly more than necessary, the special sauce more than makes up for it, and the option to get a double patty is on the table too, though it brings the price up to $7.10. The burger pairs well with a side order of crispy crinkle-cut fries ($2.65, enough to share) for a complete if salty meal. The spot unfortunately lacks the outdoor seating of other Shake Shack locations, but there is usually room to grab a seat downstairs, and the line here doesn't stretch to absurd lengths. Burger lovers looking for a decently priced outing for a family or a place to grab a bite after a movie will find it here.
Island Burgers and Shakes
422 Amsterdam Ave., 212-877-7934, islandburgersnewyork.com
Editor's note: While our burger review team didn't make it to try this one, we couldn't leave it out of an Upper West Side burger roundup, based on the feedback we've seen.
At Island Burgers and Shakes, diners can enjoy char-broiled, steakhouse-style burgers. The menu is extensive, and variety is key. The Tijuana Burger, covered in crispy bacon, sautéed onions and spicy guacamole, is a popular item there. As one blogger, NYC Food Guy, calls it, "the Tijuana Burger is a beast." A Yelp reviewer tried the Derby Burger, which comes with triangle bleu cheese, avocado and bacon. Another tried Marco's Burger, which is topped with pesto, ranch, bacon and parmesan, served on ciabatta bread. The fries are perfectly seasoned, reviewers say, but they don't come with the burgers, so you have to order them on the side. The burgers are typically on the rare side which some enjoy and others would rather avoid. Some think the chicken and the shakes, rather than the burgers, steal the show at this joint. The establishment has a retro vibe, and diners can even scrawl messages in chalk on the bathroom walls.
The Lighter Side of the Upper West Side
Whether you're loyal to the four-legged fleet or you're just looking for slightly lighter fare, here are some vegan and vegetarian-friendly options worth giving a try on the UWS.
Josie's Restaurant West
300 Amsterdam Ave., 212-769-1212, josiesnyc.com
The organic three-grain vegetable burger at Josie's Restaurant is a sure crowd-pleaser. Comprised of quinoa, bulgur and couscous, it is an interesting alternative for those who are maxed out on run-of-the-mill vegetable patties. Suitable for vegans, Josie's burger can be topped with soy American cheese or natural cheddar for non-vegans and is served with another healthy twist on the burger's best companion—air-baked Belgian fries.
Shake Shack
366 Columbus Ave., 646-747-8770, shakeshack.com
As the unofficial New York City burger authority, Shake Shack has a delicious answer for non-meat burger lovers. The Shroom burger is made of two Portobello mushroom caps with muenster and cheddar cheese sandwiched between them, breaded and fried. Ok, we concede it's not necessarily a healthier option, but it's enticing all the same.
Café Blossom
466 Columbus Ave., 212-875-2600, blossomnyc.com
Entirely organic and vegan, UWS veggie lovers can't go wrong with this menu. For those who yearn for their abandoned carnivorous lifestyles, opt for the Soy Bacon Cheeseburger, complete with tapioca cheddar and soy bacon. If that's not appealing, the Veggie Grain Burger is an alternative, not to mention one chock-full of protein, made from lentils and quinoa and topped with hummus.

Vt. lawmakers give in on tax changesMay 13,2013The Associated Press
MONTPELIER— Vermont lawmakers say they're giving up their effort this year to make the state's income tax more progressive.
The move came after Gov. Peter Shumlin insisted he wanted no changes.
Senate President Pro Tem John Campbell says lawmakers had been pushing for capping the home mortgage interest deduction and making other changes designed to get more revenue from high-income taxpayers and less from middle- and lower-income Vermonters.
Lawmakers have been maintaining that the changes are revenue neutral, but Shumlin says his aides' calculation show they would raise millions of new dollars.
Campbell says lawmakers will take up the issue when they come back in January.
Meanwhile, he says he's still hopeful they can wrap up their business for 2013 by Tuesday evening.MORE IN This Just InVGS answers state Full StoryPedestrian hurt in Friday crash Full StoryFAIR HAVEN — The town of Fair Haven is planning to convert its streetlights from... Full Story

Fulltone ST-1 Supa-Trem Tremolo Guitar Effects PedalFulltone Supa-Trem Model ST-1, one of the finest amp-style Tremolo pedals on the market since its debut in 1996, just got a whole lot better. It's now also an incredible sounding clean boost!For years people have been turning the ST-1's Mix knob down all the way, opening the pedal, and turning up its internal volume control to maximum, and using the Supa-Trem as a very subtle clean boost. Now Fulltone added a low-profile Volume knob on the outside of the pedal, and increased its available gain to around 15dB... allowing the ST-1 to pull double duty as a stellar clean boost. One reason the Supa-Trem sounds so good is that it uses a wonderful Analog Devices JFET AD711JN at the heart of its circuit, giving you a warm yet clear tone when your pedal is turned on.The ST-1 also employs a custom-designed Fulltone Opto-1 photocell with an extremely fast recovery time which no other manufacturer can match. This makes it behave just like an old 1960's American tube-amp, but without the annoying ticking sounds that plague amps and other tremolo pedals. The Supa-Trem is the most versatile tremolo on the market, sporting True-Bypass with Blue On/Off L.E.D. and a Red Rate L.E.D. showing your speed at all times (even when pedal is Off) so you can drop right into the song at the correct tempo.With the ST-1's large Rate and Mix knobs you can fine-tune on-the-fly with your foot. The Speed footswitch correctly halves or doubles your tempo so you stay rhythmically-correct with the tempo of the song you're playing!Finally, there's a Hard/Soft footswitch for choosing between Soft Mode (a rollicking sine-wave) or Hard Mode, which is more of a square-wave machine-gun stutter. There's an internal trimmer to fine-tune the current reaching the Photocell to change feel of the waveform, although we recommend leaving it where we set it so you have the ability to turn down the Mix control and not hear any tremolo when using as a clean boost.

This odd Wii U collaboration plays like a guided tour of The Legend of Zelda's most iconic locations and characters. The price of admission? Playing a bunch of Dynasty Warriors.
Destiny is a beautiful but hollow experience with most of the pieces you'd expect from a great multiplayer shooter. It just can't find a way to fit them all together.
Whatever steps forward NHL 15 has taken in visual presentation hardly make up for the alarming gutting of many of the series' best features.

The Undead is an umbrella term describing creatures that do not exhibit the key fundamental attributes that are associated with life, such as respiration, and blood circulation. They are divided into two main categories: Ethereal and Corporeal, depending on whether or not they have a body.
Vampires are undead, nocturnal creatures that subsist on blood. They have superhuman powers and are sometimes able to shape-shift. They are weak against sunlight, foreign objects stuck in and left in their hearts, decapitation and sometimes holy water and crosses.
