LOS ANGELES — Chief William J. Bratton announced Wednesday that he would leave the Los Angeles Police Department after nearly seven years to lead a private international security firm.
At a City Hall news conference, Chief Bratton said he was resigning effective Oct. 31 to become the chief executive of Altegrity Security Consulting in New York.
The company consults for police agencies in the United States and countries around the world, including Afghanistan, Colombia, Indonesia, Iraq and Pakistan.
Chief Bratton, a former New York City police commissioner, said Wednesday that the department's completion of a series of federally mandated anticorruption measures and safeguards against police brutality led him to consider retirement.
"We succeeded in making this city one of the safest in America," he said.
He said he was most proud of changing the public's perception of the Police Department, particularly by the city's African-Americans and Latinos.
Before Chief Bratton's arrival, the department was tainted by scandals, including the Rodney G. King beating in 1991 by police officers and the department's failure to control the riots that broke out as a result of their acquittal. The agency was also shaken by the Rampart scandal, named after a predominantly Latino neighborhood in central Los Angeles where police officers framed innocent citizens, stole drugs and beat suspects.
By 2002, Chief Bratton's first year as chief, the department had had four other police chiefs in five years. That year, Los Angeles also entered into a consent decree with the United States Justice Department to address racial bias, corruption and police brutality in the department. Chief Bratton was on the original federal monitoring team.
A federal judge ruled in July that federal oversight of the department would be phased out over three years.
Chief Bratton said Wednesday that although the department had traditionally agitated the city's racial relations, it now played a more constructive role.
"We are now a majority-minority department," Chief Bratton said. "We look like, and are, the Los Angeles community."
John W. Mack , the vice president of the Los Angeles Police Commission and a former head of the Los Angeles Urban League, said that he had overcome his initial skepticism of Chief Bratton and now counted him as a friend and a "superstar police chief."
"He really developed a true partnership between the L.A.P.D. and particularly communities of color," Mr. Mack said.
Chief Bratton also hired 1,000 new police officers, reduced violent crime by more than 50 percent and instituted stronger management systems.
The chief, who pioneered the "Broken Windows" theory of policing in New York City as police commissioner from 1994 to 1996, used a computer system called CompStat to map crimes and to allocate police accordingly. In Los Angeles, he applied similar methods and also created a rigorous system of audits and internal incident reporting that has become a national model.
"The use of force and what happens when officers use force is materially different now," said Michael G. Cherkasky, the former monitor of the federal consent decree and the chief executive of Altegrity Inc., the holding company for the security subsidiary Chief Bratton will join.
Mr. Cherkasky, a former New York City prosecutor, and Chief Bratton have known each other for 20 years. They worked together at Kroll Inc., a risk consulting firm, before Chief Bratton was hired to lead the L.A.P.D.
Mr. Cherkasky said Chief Bratton would focus on police consulting for postconflict nations and domestic agencies in the United States. Altegrity, formerly known as USIS, provides governments with security, intelligence and policing expertise. The company was valued at $1.5 billion in 2007.
Mr. Cherkasky said he had invited Chief Bratton only after he stepped down as the monitor of the consent decree. The chief said he also considered his love for the East Coast, the proximity to his 83-year-old father in Massachusetts and the imminent rise in his adjustable rate mortgage on his Los Angeles home in his decision to leave the department.
Chief Bratton, who was paid an annual salary of $340,442 , said he also factored in the prospect of making more money in the private sector.Continue reading the main story

Bonnie Rose - Kneel Before the Healer
We bet you didn't know advances in medical technology don't only happen in Nobel Prize-winning labs, but also in the examining rooms of DDF Genital Hospital. Yes indeed, observe as Dr. Franco Roccaforte tries out his "electrovaginogram" machine on Bonnie Rose, then concludes she is healthy enough for him to throw out his medical ethics, dispense with the procedures, and get right down to having his pretty patient take his ginormous organ into her mouth! Naked except for her corset, this blue-eyed beauty kneels before the healer to have her face stretched by his almost obscene girth, then gets back on the table to have her pussy plowed by his meat while she works a buzzy vibrator over her clit. But Dr. Roccaforte has some more instruments at his disposal, and soon he's probing her posterior for a possible invasion from that tempting angle. Into her caboose goes his cork while this wild girl continues to bang herself with the vibrator before receiving her creamy medicine in the gooey climax of this hardcore XXX video!

text: Zimbabwe court says ban on protests invalid Southern Africa by MacDonald Dzirutwe, Reuters Last Updated: Thu, 08 Sep 2016 08:40:19 GMT 0 Zimbabwe court says ban on protests invalid. Photo: Flickr. Zimbabwe's High Court ruled on Wednesday that a two-week ban by police on protests was illegal, saying it would suspend it for a week after a challenge by political activists who had said the move violated their rights. Police in the southern African nation issued an official notice last Thursday prohibiting all demonstrations in the capital Harare after anti-government protests descended into some of the worst violence seen in two decades.

"You can if you can get it to go through the item you are using. Some things are hard for the drill sothat is why the electric one is better. I love making my own things to because you can make them as unique as you want them and no one else will have the same thing. I see so many wonderful things in thrift stores, yard sales or flea markets that I like but do know what to do with and now I do and you are right it is so cost effective and cute."
"This is another super way to plant your succulents with something fun and not just a plain boring pot. I love these cute concrete designs and the faces on them. I never realized that it was so easy to make one of these by using empty soda bottles and the concrete. these would look so cute indoors or out on the patio. How about painting them in glow in the dark paint in different colors for your deck. Wouldn't that look neat. Great tutorial and a video with another kind of planter using a water bottle."
"There at no limits to what you can recycle today and I am so happy to see new things pop up. The hamster wheel wreath is such a cool idea and a great way to plant succulents a different way then just sticking them in pots. I do not see these metal wheels that much any more most are plastic now but if I come across one I will pick it up and try this. I do not have luck with growing these succulents they always die so I am looking to find new ways to try. Anyone looking for something new here is a good one."
"I tried growing strawberries years ago for about 3 season and everyone had success but me so I gave up. I really want to try again and was looking for a good way to plant them and I came across this tutorial. I am going to give this a try because I love fresh strawberries. I love when someone who has tried it and made mistakes lets you know what happened and then tells what worked for them the next time so we do not make that mistake too. Now all I have to do is find my pots or find some and get to work. Can you do beans and cucumbers like that too? Anyone know?"
"I like to recycle and this is a great way to recycle paper towel or even toilet paper rolls instead of throwing them away. I wonder just like jobers77 asked if the brown paper will degrade ? How about the paper towel and toilet paper rolls? This is a great way to start those seeds and keep them warm while they are growing. Add some extras for your friends and family too. I think I am going to give this a try if I can find somewhere to put them. So simple and easy."

Cut two 1-3/4" circles from adhesive and apply to top and bottom of ball; do not remove liner.
- Gently cover exposed areas with black beads; fill in with smaller beads from bag. Remove 1" liner and roll in blue; fill in. Remove round liners and roll in crystal; fill in. Remove 1/4" liners and roll in gold micro-beads.
Triangles (shown at top)
- Repeat Step 3 to cover ball surface with adhesive. Cut variety of four-sided and/or triangular shapes from 1/2"- and 1"-wide tapes. Place shapes on ball at random; do not remove protective liners. Carefully remove skewer; handle ball by liners.
- Gently cover exposed areas with crystal beads; fill in with smaller beads from bag. Remove liner from several larger shapes and roll in blue; fill in. Remove liners from remaining larger shapes and roll in black; fill in. Remove liners from smaller shapes and roll in gold micro-beads.
Diamonds (shown at right)
- Cut eight small and 16 large diamond patterns from adhesive.
- Using second ball marked in Step 2, repeat Step 3 to cover ball surface with adhesive. Place eight large diamonds around circumference of ball, sides touching; do not remove protective liners. Carefully remove skewer; handle ball by liners.
- Use photo as guide to place four large diamonds around ball, evenly spaced above and below circumference of diamonds; do not remove liners. Gently cover exposed areas with blue beads; fill in with smaller beads from bag.
- Remove liner from two adjoining diamonds on opposite sides of ball, as well as two opposite diamonds at top and bottom of ball. Center and place small diamonds cut in Step 1 on exposed diamonds at top and bottom of ball; do not remove liner. Gently cover exposed areas with black beads; fill in. Repeat for remaining large diamonds, covering exposed areas with crystal beads.
- Remove liners from small diamonds and roll in gold micro-beads.

I think the pattern is good but the pictures are not with it so it would be difficult to get the ornaments to come out correctly.

Interpolation and Polynomial Curve Fitting
Yang, Yajun; Gordon, Sheldon P.
Mathematics Teacher, v108 n2 p132-141 Sep 2014
Two points determine a line. Three noncollinear points determine a quadratic function. Four points that do not lie on a lower-degree polynomial curve determine a cubic function. In general, n + 1 points uniquely determine a polynomial of degree n, presuming that they do not fall onto a polynomial of lower degree. The process of finding such a polynomial is called interpolation, and the two most important approaches used are Newton's and Lagrange's interpolating formulas. Each has its advantages and disadvantages, which will be discussed in this article. The authors show how both approaches can be introduced and developed at the precalculus level in the context of fitting polynomials to data. These methods bring some of the most powerful and useful tools of numerical analysis to the attention of students who are still at the introductory level while building on and reinforcing many fundamental ideas in algebra and precalculus mathematics.

The worlds newest, and favorite, royal in-law may be just what the doctor ordered for wounded British tourism. After taking a lashing from Lonely Planet, who panned the country when it was announced that attractions are "overpriced or lacking in quality, and "Britain ain't cheap, the Brits are looking for a way to drive tourism, and Pippa Middleton just may help. Pippa, who was the crowd pleaser of the recent royal wedding in her white bridesmaids dress, has gained the spotlight with American audiences, and according to Barbara Gillam, a New York travel professional, Pippas aura may very well boost tourism, not to mention Pilates and the designers outfits shes seen in.
Visit Britains Facebook page, along with a page dedicated to the adoration of Pippas backside, were among the highest ranked Facebook pages during the week of the royal wedding. This brings new hope for an industry that sees $130 billion but has been hit hard by a weak dollar and drop off in American visitors. Pippa is breathing new life into the age old image that Britain is stuffy. To aid in the renewal of British Tourism, British Airways will be offering lower fares across the pond.

It wasn't too long ago that the president arrived to V-town with her entourage. Some plain clothed security guards, a police escort. From the lip of the sewer across from Rohelise Maja I awaited her entry. This is my favorite sewer in Viljandi because of its most ungodly awful rot smell. "They're supposed to fix it in the next few years, because the sewer and the street stuff run together," says Enn the proprietor. "But whaddya gonna do? That's life." Enn says if it's still ripe by summer they'll put an easy chair out there for me. "Get a good whiff." Ooooooh ... that putrid funky pungent stink stank stunk of Estonia, up in your nostrils. So Kersti arrived, never saw her sneak in. In through the back door, I guess. I only glimpsed her through the dark window glass, leaning over her goat cheese salad or whatever. The telling bangs and mop of hair. She went ice skating the night before, down on the lake, or so they said. The children of Viljandi were whispering. "The president is ice skating, the president is ice skating ..." I was happy with my glimpse and that's all. Not a message to relay. Tell you the truth, I was invited to my share of Independence Day Galas in the Ilves era, but never went, somewhat out of shyness, mostly because my partner refused to go. She dreaded the annual edition of Kroonika, the garish cutthroat tabloid, where they take down the best and worst attired. Hirmus! Who could blame her? If I had gone though, they wouldn't have let me in anyway, because I would have worn traditional Calabrian attire, the daring clothes of briganti, which includes a musket and cutlass ...

I confess my ignorance of 20th century British political history. I knew the name Anthony Eden, I knew he had been prime minister, I knew he was a SIR Anthony Eden (naturally), but I did not recall that he was Churchill's foreign secretary during the majority of the Second World War, and I did not realize he urged Churchill to recognize Soviet control over the Baltic countries, which Churchill opposed. The unfortunately named Lord Beaverbrook was even more adamant about recognizing the Soviet takeover, referring to the Baltics as the "Ireland of Russia" -- an apt comparison, but one that most would see as strengthening their bid to retain full independence, rather than accommodating their subservience to an ancient imperial master. Those were the days of map rooms and sitting rooms and sitting in the map rooms looking at maps. The Aegean Islands! The Ljubljana Gap! The Ireland of Russia! It was supposed to be history. Now it's back.

from here on out, etc.
Some ocean of big vulnerability these days. The whole Atlantic in my chest. New beginnings, new something. People's dissatisfaction rising. Rising within themselves, with their world. It's always been that way. Nothing's ever been satisfying. Tinkering with Eastern Philosophies. But can we Westerners ever truly understand? For so long we have lived within the Christian prism. Even the Godless ones. The way we intuit, the things that motivate us. There are regional idiosyncrasies. The distance, the space between. Does every Estonian come wrapped up in plastic or ice. Something does not happen here that happens elsewhere. I'm used to a loud kitchen, a lot of big voices and big forces. A force of nature. "You're a force of nature," a woman tells me. Sounds nice. Stacking the firewood. Lighting it up. R. is afraid to sauna. He's too English, too cultured for local tastes. He thinks that a bunch of naked men sweating in a hot room is "gay." "What do you think I am going to do with you in there?" I ask him. "Look at you, you're all hairy and ... male. I don't want to have anything to do with you." "You are going to sweat in there," says R., pacing the floor like a distressed cavalier. "I'm not because I won't be joining you."

the one, the one
As the year closes, I think of its unseemly demises. With simple time, it carried away so much. Memories, people. I'll never forget that peculiar feeling I had walking along the train tracks in Tartu on the day it was over. Abielu katki. It was high May, California weather, sun that lingered, warmth sumptuous and succulent and erotic, the trees like Dr. Seuss would have sketched and colored them, except greener and more pungent, luscious and octopus, enveloping you up in like her red-gold locks. As I eased into single-hood, the temptation to be a bastard ever strong, I clung to ideas of her natural boughs because of what they represented to me -- the last vestiges of the soul, the last morsels of the self. Now the year ends and I am not even halfway toward her, not even a quarter of the way there, or a sixteenth. "You need more time, you need more time." Watch me scratch the rocky bottom of the tunnel, trying to move toward something that I'm convinced must be light. Sometimes. More time, it all takes time ... The ghost of one love gone, and another arrives to take her place. Vulnerability. Deep as death. Not nearly enough time, she tells me. This is how it goes and goes. It's not exactly easy, all this. But what other choice do I really have? If you see light, you must move toward it, correct? Candle light flickers over dinners and there it is again, a well-contained thrill. Someday, someday. The one, the one. Estonia changed too this year. Old things ended, new things abloom. I think the Kersti Kaljulaid presidency secured its place in the ethical north. Our Vigdis. Our one. The era of manhood waving over historical grievances has given way to the country's now simple moral superiority. No, Estonia will not bury you, dear Eastern Neighbor. It will watch you bury yourself.

the darkest days
It didn't occur to me that light deprivation might be the cause of the immense maelstrom of sadness that has left me sprawled across a couch poking at various old wounds for days on end until I overdid it on the kodujuust and noticed an immediate light and easy boost in the serotonin levels. The mechanics of light, Vitamin D, cottage cheese, dark chocolate, mandariinid, and the like, are still not clear to me, but I understand that these are cornerstones of warding away suicidal thoughts at this time of the year. It's not just me. Most people who do not live in the north swear they would never survive without their Californian sunshine. "I could never do that." And yet we sadists contend with submarine pressure. It's sinister and dreamy all at once. Look up at those gray milk soup skies. They will turn your eyes blue, your skin white. Anyway, I am off to get some more kodujuust. A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do. Iceland is the land of fire and ice. Eistland is the land of cottage cheese, dark chocolate, and mandariinid. And the sauna.

big waters
I wrote so much about my driving mishap three years ago, but what years have passed. The past three years have been nothing but life changing. It wasn't even every year, or month, but every week, every day of every week, that turned my life upside down. For the longest time, I clung to my ship of stability but eventually let go and began to drift in these big waters. To flow with the wet current, to accept all that comes and savor. When my US license was up, and my international one with it, I at last took my theory exam, took my driving exam, and passed fine. I have been a driver for 20 years now. The staff at Maanteeamet were friendly and helpful, and I found my passenger for the sõidueksam concise, clear-headed, and amicable. Things went smoothly, and I had no trouble. If you ask me why I never did this before, I will tell you: my life used to be crazy. I know I could try to explain it all to you, but no words would do it justice. But if you had been inside this person, inhabiting this flesh, it could have all happened to you exactly the same way. Now it feels quite good to be here in Eesti-land, and write in a warm cafe. Wonderful.

this remote, forested place
I do wonder sometimes about the flow of Estonian foreign policy, and the idea of the independent state in general. The idea of Estonia, going back to 1918, was to separate the country from the "rotten foundations" of the Russian Empire. Essentially, they decided their statelet was better off alone (and they were right). The story of each Baltic country's path to independence is different and involves different regional players. Consider that the first Lithuanian declaration of independence occurred under German occupation. The reemergence of the Lithuanian state on the map of Europe was a byproduct of First World War German foreign policy. One might see Lithuanian EU membership in a different light given that particular tidbit. Or that the headquarters of the Latvian Republic were for a time aboard a British vessel moored off the coast, at a moment of political upheaval at the end of the war when there were three governments in what became Latvia -- a pro-German and a pro-Russian one as well. Latvian independence owes a significant debt to the British navy. Estonia actually fought to remove foreign armies from its soil, which gives its independence a rather local, robust flavor. Yet, in 1917, when Estonian servicemen demonstrated in Petrograd, they were demanding autonomy within the Russian Empire -- the desire to manage their own affairs, not to be aligned in various military alliances. In the late 1980s, the country again demanded independence, encouraged by the example of Finland. And yet today it is Finland that remains "Finlandized," while Estonia is constructed to either the front line in the "New Cold War," or some kind of symbolic "West Berlin." As additional NATO backing arrives to this remote, forested place of 1.3 million souls, I do wonder how this all fits into the concept of Estonian independence. The people of this land just wanted to manage their own affairs. Somehow they keep getting caught up in problems many times larger than themselves.

Vitamin D: cause or effect?
Low levels of vitamin D have been linked to an ever-growing list of conditions. However, correcting vitamin D levels through supplementation has failed to show any meaningful benefit. Is low vitamin D a cause or an effect of poor health and what does this mean for your patients?
Anticholinergics in older people: do you know the risks?
A recent study has shown that the use of anticholinergic and sedative medicines increases the likelihood of hospitalisation and mortality in people with Alzheimer's disease — and in people without it. How does this affect prescribing for older patients?
Superbug stowaways: multi-drug-resistant bacteria hitch a ride with travellers
Bacterial strains resistant to multiple antibiotics are a significant problem in Australia, and infections inadvertently imported by travellers have an increasingly important role to play. Leisure travel, human migration and the rise of the medical tourism industry have all contributed to intercountry transfer of resistant superbugs, particularly among people using hospitals overseas. So how can you protect patients who travel?
Latest Medicinewise News — Heart and stroke risk: a catalyst for conversation
Despite recent media controversy, statins remain one of the most effective strategies for reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), but appropriate patient selection is key. Guidelines recommend basing lipid management on absolute CVD risk. However, more than 10 years on since the introduction of these recommendations, statin prescribing does not always reflect a patient's need based on absolute risk.
Fast five — Cardiovascular health
Medicinewise News — Good anticoagulant practice
All oral anticoagulants require careful patient selection and routine clinical monitoring to minimise the risk of thrombosis and bleeding. Read about assessment and management of patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF) based on stroke risk, and the roles of warfarin and the newer oral anticoagulants in individualised treatment.
Decision tool — Starting oral anticoagulants in AF
Use this tool to identify patients with non-valvular AF for whom treatment with anticoagulants is recommended, and to personalise the selection of an oral anticoagulant in three easy steps.
Online resource — Assess absolute cardiovascular risk
Multiple lifestyle risk factors contribute to a person developing CVD, including lipid abnormalities, smoking, hypertension, diabetes, abdominal obesity, psychosocial factors, physical inactivity and poor diet. Use this simple guide to support your assessment of patients' absolute cardiovascular risk.
Consultation snapshot — Using statins in an older patient
The consultation snapshot series provides practical, evidence-based solutions to challenging clinical problems. The first in the series focuses on the use of statins in an older patient who is also taking several medicines for different conditions.
Information for patients — Statins and cardiovascular disease FAQs
Following recent media interest in the use of statins in Australia, many health professionals have reported a rise in patient queries about their cardiovascular medicines. This list of commonly asked questions provides accurate, patient-friendly information about the role of statins in heart health.

Customer first, that's a sign of a mature and effective company that could be their market differentiation. That's what Brother International Philippines Corporation is doing when they established their first service center placed in Makati before.
|Brother Philippines customer support
Since then, the service center is catered to fix all Brother products at that time, from printers, multi function centers, fax machines and typewriters. Later, the service center transferred to Bonifacio Global City together with its corporate office.
After a decade and a half, Brother Philippines has grown steadily to six company owned service centers located in BGC, Cebu, Davao, Cagayan de Oro, Naga and Pampanga to widen their reach to those customers that needs help.
According to Brother Philippines President Glenn P. Hocson, "In accordance with the Brother Global Charter, which guides the conduct of the group's worldwide operations, we at Brother Philippines have made it our mission to put our customer first all the time. We work hard at providing them with not only quality products, but excellent service as well through our dedicated service centers."
Brother also partnered with its accredited dealers and partners to set up Printing and Solutions Authorized Service Centers (ASCs) which now add up to 163, while its Sewing and Embroidery Machine Authorized Service Centers now total 16. These accredited service centers bring Brother Philippines' total service centers nationwide to 185, of which six are company owned while 179 are authorized service centers.
Hocson said that the company will continue to grow this service network to be able to reach the places where Brother's customers are.
"We believe that one of things that customers look for when buying printers, for example, is the availability of service centers. In Brother's case, customers are more confident with their purchase knowing that there is a Brother Authorized Service Center nearby to help them maximize the use, as well as maintain their machines," he said.
Notably, Brother was a recipient of the Department of Trade and Industry's "Bagwis Seal," a much-sought after accreditation that gives due recognition to establishments that practice fair business and uphold the rights and welfare of consumers. Conversely, this seal of excellence guides consumers on purchasing safe and quality products and service.
Aside from repair and maintenance activities, Brother's customers also get to be part of the Customer+ program, where Brother Philippines wishes to engage more with its end-users through activities and information sharing to help them maximize the use of their Brother product.
"For Brother, it's not just about being able to sell our products. We believe in creating relationships with our customers. That's what our Customer+ program wishes to achieve," he said.
Although initially meant to provide sales support to retail customers, Brother Philippines service centers and Authorized Service Centers now also increasingly cater to corporate business, as they see the huge potential of this segment of their business.
"We have instituted a special service level agreement with corporate customers to be able to address their needs better," shared Hocson.
He furthered, "We work hard to live by our motto 'At your side' as reflected in all segments of our business. And we walk our talk by always putting our customers first. Providing superior value to our customers is our way of building strong and long-lasting relationships with them.
Given all of those initiatives, practices and support that Brother is offering to their customers, trust and peace of mind can be assured whenever you get a Brother device.

About Bob
Bob Paterson is the Managing Director of BPA Live and has been promoting Americana music for over fifteen years and was and still is instrumental in raising its profile to where it is now in the UK.He started his professional life in the music business in 1995 doing work experience for Johnnie Walker on his old BBC Radio 1 Saturday afternoon show. He continued his career with fellow music aficionado Bob Harris on Greater London Radio (GLR) and then moved with him when he started working on BBC Radio 2. He worked on Bob's shows for over 5 years and they remain friends to this day.
Bob has had his own leftfield radio show on various radio stations since 1991, most notably on Country Music Radio (1997-1999) and a stint on the short-lived Mean Country in London (2002-2003). Over the last few years he has presented a weekly 80-minute radio show on the Americana-UK website.
Bob first started promoting live music at the small yet perfectly formed 12-Bar Club in London in 1997 and for a while also used the larger Spitz venue.A major change happened in 1999 when Bob ventured into the murky world of a booking agency. He joined East Central One record company as their in-house booking agent. His first clients were Dr Robert (The Blow Monkeys), Colin Vearncombe (Black) and New Jersey singer-songwriter Kate Jacobs and it comes as no surprise that he started to develop a roster of largely Americana music.
Bob Paterson relocated from London to Suffolk in 2002 and this marked a return to promoting live music, again with Steve Fernie (East Central One) in 2007 as Movers & Shakers promotions. They promote shows primarily in Suffolk in venues ranging in size from the 160 capacity Fisher Theatre in Bungay to the 1500 capacity Regent Theatre in Ipswich. During 2011 Movers & Shakers will be promoting shows for The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain, Ralph McTell, Bellowhead and many more. High profile shows are already being planned for 2012 and beyond.
BPA Live was formed on the 1st July 2005 and the agency now boasts a roster of over forty artists including Tom Russell, Matt Andersen, Brooks Williams, The Wailin' Jennys, Sam Baker, Ian McLagan & the Bump Band, Eve Selis, Jason Ringenberg, Elizabeth Cook, Otis Gibbs, Blue Rodeo, Crooked Still and The Redlands Palomino Company. In 2010 Netty Turner joined the agency and has started to develop her own roster including Deadstring Brothers, Dead Rock West, Orbitsuns, Will Scott, Ledfoot, Society and young talented UK blues guitarist Ben Poole. The agency continues to grow, now working with artistes from varying genres including blues and folk alongside the original Americana acts.
Please use the links above for details of our evolving roster, tours currently underway, those that are currently being booked, contact details and links section to websites associated with Bob and his work, past and present.
BPA Live is a member of The Agents Association.

How To Start A Money Making Membership Site
Chances are you have heard of the potential of membership sites. You can have a passive income without the effort than many endeavors require. If this is appealing to you then you probably are in search of information on to do that. The actual process is much simpler than you might believe.
Subscribe to my exclusive newsletter, and learn secret strategies to make money online»
- Choose the style of site: You can have a standard membership site or a fixed term membership site. Both have their advantages. Fixed term sites can offer you a higher income overall if you have the content to make the cost worthwhile. Before you can start your site you must know which way you want to go. Fixed term sites generally charge a fee for a specific amount of time in exchange for something concrete. This is great if you are designing an informational site.
- Find your niche: You need something that is both in demand and unique at the same time. That can often be hard to find. There are a few instances when you can compete with similar sites and still succeed, but for the best results you will want to stay as individual as you can. It should be something you understand and can provide content for and it should be worth the membership you are asking.
- Do some research: Make sure that your niche is actually in demand. If people do not want what you offer then it will never succeed and you have wasted your time. Also research other similar sites and see what the going prices are. Are people willing to pay that? Should you offer a free trial? Get all of your information together before you set up the site.
- Buy a domain, Be unique, Be creative: This is going to identify you for a long time. You want it to be easy to remember and also be totally different. Put some thought into this part of the process.
- Set up the site: You can do this yourself if you have any design knowledge at all. It is actually quite simple to do. If you prefer, there is plenty of software available that will help you with site design and management. Look over your different options and see which one works best for you. In some cases you might find that you know someone willing to barter their design skills for something you may have to offer.
- Create content: There are a variety of methods you can use to create your content. It could be as simple or as complex as you would like. The goal is simply to make sure that your readers can get it, will like it and will find it was worth their fee.
- Market your site: Like any other online site you have a number of ways to market. You can advertise on social networks, blog about it, send out emails, post on other sites or even pay for advertising. Whatever your choice, make sure that you are benefitting from it.
When you're learning how to start a money making membership site, you need to understand that the very first step is to create a website. If you're interested in starting your own blog, I have written a step-by-step guide that will show you how to start a blog for as little as $3.49 per month (this low price is guaranteed only through my link). You will also receive your own domain name for free ($15 value) by clicking on this link and purchasing at least 12 months of hosting with BlueHost.

This is very interesting, and not something that I had considered in the past. I'm glad that if I choose to create a membership site, I now have a step-by-step process to follow.
I'm not sure something like this is actually going to bring in a whole lot of money, especially at first, but it is a good thing to have in your back pocket for sure.
I think setting up the site is the hardest part, and that's why most people don't go through with it. If you don't know a lot about it yourself, hiring someone is like a leap of faith that you'll eventually be getting that money back.
Actually the hardest part is consistently creating high quality content. Many services exist to help you get a website set up quickly and easily, but in order to create consistent, quality content that is relevant to your subject, that can be tough…
Content is definitely king when trying to make money from a membership site. In order to make money and not make your members feel like they're wasting money you have to update regularly. For a membership site like this, it might be a good idea to hire one or several full-time bloggers to have new content generated daily. Thoughts??
I think that if you have the funds, that will make your life a lot easier. There are many sites that provide profiles of people that will write blogs for you for small compensation. It's definitely worth looking into!
How do I know if my market is niche enough or too niche? I'm wondering if there's even a market for my subject, any advice on how to determine that?
That's sound advice. Start small and grow, I like it! Thanks so much!

We are the family L., we restored and opend to the public this property of my family in 2010.
What today appears as Borgo di Casagrande was born as a meeting place for ancient settlers of farm Casagrande. The estate, thanks to treatment and long period of restoration by the family L., back again to shine and to be a central meeting place very much appreciated by those who want to explore Tuscany and breathe the atmosphere of times gone by.
See you @ Borgo di Casagrande !!

Monumental Mysteries: US Spy Ring Pictures
Don investigates the former home of American's first spy ring, and explores a battleship linked to tales of conspiracy.
Madison Street BridgeIn the Windy City, the Madison Street Bridge covers the entire width of the Chicago River. But beneath this unassuming river crossing, a baffling aquatic artifact was uncovered that forced the public to question whether the discovery was genuine or the product of an elaborate hoax. 960 1280
Bare-knuckled Prize FightJust outside of Hattiesburg, MS, sits this curious and diminutive structure. It was on these isolated plots of land that a war of sorts was fought, with only fists as weapons. This monument pays tribute to the bare-knuckled prize fight of 1889, the last of its kind. 960 1280
America's First Spy RingThis bronzed eagle represents the veterans of foreign wars and is situated in the Litchfield, CT, Town Green Square. It is a monument that stands to honor the lives of General George Washington and his secret spy operation, known as the Culper Ring, which successfully uncovered a plot by the British to counterfeit colonial money. 960 1280
Litchfield, CTFounded in 1719, Litchfield, CT, pre-dates the birth of the United States and stands as a testament to a colonial village seeped in history. The Culper Spy Ring remains the first and arguably the most successful spy operation in America's rich past. This sign outside of the house of Benjamin Tallmadge pays homage to the remarkable story of the organization's groundbreaking methods of espionage that are still utilized to this day. 960 1280
Roosevelt's Moroccan MissionThe USS Olympia, the oldest surviving steel warship in the United States, was once commanded by Theodore Roosevelt. But it was her role in a little-known, intimate affair of intrigue on a foreign shore that perhaps reveals the most about the character of her long-time Commander. 960 1280
New York City PoliceReminiscent of a cathedral or a Parisian palace, this landmark was once the headquarters of the New York City Police Department. Some of the best crime stories to come out of this city started within the walls of this building, but none as incredible as the story of one of the city's most inscrutable con artists. 960 1280

Ames PyramidOn a summit near Laramie, WY, is a strange monument known as the Ames Pyramid. This national historic landmark commemorates 2 brothers who were the driving force behind the Trans Continental Railroad. But what massive financial scandal came about as a result of the Ames brothers' achievement? 960 1280
Lincoln MemorialThe Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC, is well known as the site of Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech, but decades earlier, the monument played host to another landmark event in Civil Rights history -- a 1939 concert by the African-American opera singer Marion Anderson. 960 1280
Isidor and Ida StrausOn Manhattan's Upper West Side is a small oasis known as Straus Park, and in it stands a beautiful statue of a Grecian figure. This lovely monument commemorates one of the great tragic love stories of American history -- that of Isidor and Ida Straus. The department store baron and his wife would meet their fate in 1912 on the decks of the RMS Titanic. 960 1280

Great product!!
By Kristi B
from Northern CA
I have owned one of these for several years. I use it often. You need to use the wax paper squares as suggested or you will have problems with the meat sticking. Experiment a little with the amount of meat you put into the press. It is very easy to adjust the thickness of the burgers. It is very easy to clean. (Soap and hot water or just toss it in the dishwasher)Biggest bonus: The burgers stay together when cooked and they are all the same size! Every time.I buy bulk hamburger,pre-make and freeze hamburger patties for quick meals all year long.

Very Good, as it works well.
By Ann Margaret
from Monmouth Co., NJ
About Me Avid Cook
After reading the review with one star, I had to leave a review on this item. I found this burger press to make perfect size burgers, and I didn't have any meat coming out of the sides. I used the wax squares that are shown on the same page as this burger press. They came out the size I set it for, and they didn't fall apart even when I grilled them. My press came apart easily, and there wasn't any meat in it. I believe the person who left the one star put too much chopped meat in it which was the cause of her problem.
Made well.
This burger press is made well, and it's a little on the weighty size which makes it stable when you press your burgers. You can take it apart to clean in the dishwasher also, which is another good reason to choose this one.

Not recommended
By Jack
from Lewistown, PA
We used this device one time and sent it in the trash--literally! The corrugated surfaces cause the burger patty to stick like glue to the surface. The burger came out of the press in pieces, as we pried the burger from the surface. Excess meat pushes up past the adjustable plate. When done, I disassembled it (not as easy as it sounds) and had several tablespoons of meat packed up inside. The shaft to the adjustable plate is greasy, so the meat up inside was wasted and I had black grease on my hands. There is also no handle to hold the base, so reopening the device with a burger inside is annoying. I would not recommend this product for home use.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend


text: I've been preaching for 19 years. I've been in full ministry for 14 years. I have pastored in North Carolina (youth pastor), South Carolina and Mississippi. I stay at churches well over the national average tenure for pastors. I've been pastoring the church where I now pastor for almost five years. I have tried for some time to define "unkingdom-minded" people as simply ignorant or immature for years. But I have come to the conclusion that, at least generally speaking, at most 100% of the time, these people are evil. The straw that broke the camel's back for me was a phone call I received from a pastor friend who pastors up north. A man, their treasurer, who has resisted him and every idea he has had to try to reach people for Christ was revealed to be manipulating the financial report. He lied for a year and a half about what money goes where. Numerous times I have seen it revealed later on that people who resisted me most were corrupt liars, manipulators and just down right evil people. Now, I'm not talking about people who have a different idea than mine. I'm talking about people who have NO PLAN or desire to expand the outreach of the church whatsoever and resist every effort that I attempt to implement to do so. I have come to the conclusion that people who consistently resist efforts to reach people for Christ are evil- not just ignorant, not just immature, but evil. They are tares among the wheat, wolves in sheeps' clothing, Pharisees, liars and gossipmongerers. They are power-hungry and they love the praise of men. They do not want things to change because they like the way the things as they are make them feel about themselves. When you emphasize outreach they begin not to look so holy. And they will hate you with satanic hatred- the same kind of hatred that drove men to spit on the Lord they had crucified. But these evil people are our crosses to bear until the Lord plucks them from our midst and burns them along with all the other tares and branches that bore no fruit.
