Washington Park alcohol ban meeting: Freedom and responsibility versus urine and vomit
Over a hundred residents of Washington Park and beyond made their way to the Denver Baha'i Center last night to debate whether or not the park should put a temporary ban on alcoholic beverages -- specifically 3.2 beer, the only liquor allowed there.
The crowd seemed evenly divided, with half of those in attendance agreeing that a ban should be put in place to solve some of the problems in the park and surrounding areas, while the other half argued that the ban wasn't the right fix.
Councilman Chris Nevitt, who proposed the ban, and Denver Department of Parks and Recreation director Lauri Dannemiller presented their rationale for why alcohol should be temporarily prohibited from the park. In his initial letter to Parks and Rec suggesting a ban, Nevitt said that his constituents are constantly complaining about unruly drunkards.

After he made his arguments, Nevitt acted as a mediator. "Let the games begin!" he shouted, before letting people come to the front to speak into a microphone. He held a stopwatch to make sure that each speaker kept to the prescribed time of two minutes.

Many people in the crowd who live within a couple of blocks of the park complained of people urinating, tossing trash, defecating and throwing up in their yards. One woman described feeling like a prisoner in her own house.
To help alleviate these issues, Parks and Rec had put more portable toilets in the park and also hired more park rangers to control the area. But according to many nearby residents, those efforts are no longer cutting it.
People on the opposing side of the issue, though, argued that banning alcohol isn't going to get people to stop drinking, a favorite activity in the summer. The city needs to do a better job of policing the park, some said. One gentleman suggested having Wash Park sell its own beer in order to better regulate consumption.
During the discussion, other concerns came up -- and there was one on which almost everyone could agree: There's not enough parking in the area. Nevitt pointed out that people headed for Wash Park can park at South High School on the weekends. When one person complained that the school's parking lot was too far from the park, Nevitt responded that it was "pathetic" a park-goer couldn't walk a few blocks.
The debate went on for about ninety minutes. Next week, Dannemiller is expected to announce whether the temporary ban will be put in place.

BANGKOK, Thailand (AP) At least 32 people were injured Thursday after a China Airlines flight from Hong Kong to Bangkok encountered turbulence, a Thai airport official said.
Most of those hurt aboard flight CI-641 from Hong Kong suffered minor cuts and bruises, but two had spine injuries, a hospital spokesman said. Early accounts said there had been fewer injuries, none serious.
The Boeing 747-400 was hit by turbulence about 20 minutes before landing at Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport at about 1:30 p.m. (0630 GMT), said a spokeswoman for Airports of Thailand, who insisted that she not be named because she was not authorized to release information to the press. China Airlines is a Taiwanese carrier.
Of the 32 injured people, 21 were passengers and 11 were crewmembers, she said, adding that the flight carried 147 passengers and 17 crew. The names and nationalities of those hurt were not released.
Two people were seriously hurt with cervical spine injuries, said Chairat Panthuraamphorn, a doctor at Bangkok's Samitivej Srinakarin Hospital, which administered to 20 of the injured. The other injured passengers were taken to other hospitals.
"We are admitting four people. The rest who suffered minor cuts and bruises will be able to go home," he told The Associated Press.
A duty officer at Suvarnabhumi Airport, also speaking on condition of anonymity, said the captain of the flight contacted the control tower to ask to land ahead of schedule and to have doctors and ambulances standing by to take care of the injured.

Forum Name: Bone trauma and fractures
Question: undisplaced comminuted fracture
|rooby - Mon Sep 07, 2009 8:00 pm
Share |
4 weeks ago i injured by small finger on my left hand during a netball game. I have just had a second lot of xrays to compare, as i still have no movement at the joint and when the splint is removed swelling occurs.
Report from radioligst states undisplaced comminuted fracture of the middle phalanx of the fifth digit shows no chnage in alignment. The fracture line does remain evident. No new bony abnormality.
What does this mean? and what next?
|Tom Plamondon PA-C - Fri Sep 11, 2009 7:14 pm
Share |
A comminuted fracture is a bone which fractures into multiple pieces.
Because the fracture lines remain evident and there is no change in the appearance then the bone is not healing.
Depending on the extent of the fracture, surgery may be needed to secure the bones together with wires to allow better healing.
Take care.

The Dresden Files chronicles the cases of no ordinary detective. Harry Dresden is a wizard, the only one listed in the Chicago phone book. He's got a handle on the crimes that can't be solved by anyone else. Paranormal? No problem. Dresden deals in all matters of supernatural threats. If you need a little hocus pocus or some other worldly advice, Dresden's your man.

These unsettling scenes are tough on the eyes, but happily, star Paul Blackthorne is well worth watching, full time.Christian Science Monitor Full Review
Brooding, seductive and smart.The Hollywood Reporter Full Review
Like Harry, the show has yet to fully master its tricks. There are a few decent jolts, but nothing is truly frightening or even that threatening. And while the show can be amusing, it's never exactly side-splitting.USA Today Full Review
If you don't like hints of Harry Potter mixed in with fairly straightforward procedural elements, this may not be the show for you.Chicago Tribune Full Review
If the series doesn't generate any grand creative magic, it at least possesses a certain old-fashioned charm.Variety Full Review
Even with Blackthorne's occasionally engaging portrayal of Harry Dresden, this whodunit lacks the wit and imagination that might transform it into something special.Detroit Free Press Full Review
An uneven fantasy series that's not eerie enough to be a culty favorite or goofy enough to be a guilty pleasure.Entertainment Weekly Full Review
"Dresden" hasn't put a spell on me at the start - but it's not bad. It's just that on Sundays, opposite such shows as "Desperate Housewives" and "Rome," not bad is not nearly good enough.New York Daily News Full Review
It isn't until the werewolf-themed fourth episode that "Dresden Files" finally gives you a trick worth applauding. Hopefully, there's more of that to come.Newark Star-Ledger Full Review

Since we were new to the neighborhood, my Uncle and I have decided to go out for some Asian food on Friday night (more specifically the night of April 6th) and we discovered what seemed to be this great and new local place for us in Miami Beach to try, since we love seafood restaurants.
We got to the restaurant around 11:30 PM and NO ONE noticed us as we walked through the front door, NO ONE presented any menus and/or directed us to any table whatsoever, so we figured it was more like a laid-back kind of place and we sat ourselves down. We were still ignored, so we went from the bar/lounge to the actual restaurant sitting area for some service and we finally got to be noticed after waiting for a while.
We started enjoying our dinner together and (Mike) was our server for the night, he gave us some recommendations and everything.
We first ordered the Shrimp Dumplings, which were really good and after that we had some sushi with octopus, yellow tail and some tuna, and we also shared the duck as main entree and this is where it all started to go more than wrong...
...The server asked us how was our food, and I replied back telling him - the fish looks fresh and is very good but I DON?T think it was a very good sushi roll because the rice fell apart on my plate and in the sauce as well. -
The server apologized and he said to me ?I?ll make sure to let the chef know?.
Next thing we know someone walks towards our table with a piece of sushi in his hand and a plate with soy sauce in the other, very upset and yelling at me, unprofessionally, he starts spilling sauce all over the plate with an aggravated attitude telling me this is how to dip sushi into the sauce and that he has been a chef for over 25 years and then he walked away. I demanded my server to speak to a general manager about this incident in the middle of our dinner and I just couldn?t believe they would allow someone to approach my table and start insulting us in front of every other customer around.He got even closer to me and my Uncle was shocked that someone would have done something like that and we just didn?t know what to do. We felt threatened.
The server said that he had known the chef for over 10 years now and that he always acts like a 13 year old kid in front of other customers too. The server claimed to have called the owners and explained what just happened which I completely doubt. Then the server offered a free complimentary dinner that night but my Uncle decided to pay for it anyways because we are ?decent people?, the server insisted and after him walking away with the money left at the bar, we gave the bartender a $25.00 worth of tip to hand over to the server later on because of his service, and we requested to speak to the owners first thing Monday morning. We were told owners were on a cruise ship and they were not coming back till the end of the week and we still wish someone would have contacted us in regards of our letter sent to them at the location but we still haven?t heard from them yet.
People insulting customers just because of their personal opinions is not right, we were so upset that we are not coming back to this place ever again.
I just do not understand how come no one will do anything about any employee behavior so that is why we decided to leave this review for everyone to see. Thanks to people like him this place is completely unsafe and unreliable. We were so upset over what was supposed to be a great place. Never again will I be coming to this unethical restaurant thanks to the so called ?chef?.

Adam Selman designs sunglasses
Adam Selman thinks his new sunglasses line with Le Specs is a natural extension of his clothes label.
The designer launched his eponymous range after years of making clothes for private clients, including numerous collaborations with Rihanna.
And it's not just the Barbadian popstar who's delirious for his designs; sunglasses brand Le Specs are also big fans, signing Adam up for an exclusive partnership.
"I had been wanting to do a collaboration that would sit well with my clothing, feel like an extension of my line and help complete the look. The history of Le Specs has the same qualities that I look for when I'm designing my own line. Once I saw the vintage ads, I was hooked. The way the Le Specs team has modernised that vision and history made it exactly the sort of company I wanted to partner with," Adam smiled to InStyle Australia.
Le Specs are the go-to sunglasses brand for Lady Gaga, Beyoncé Knowles and Katy Perry.
Adam says you don't need to be a superstar to pull off a pair of shades though, advising that adding glasses to an outfit will give the look a whole new dimension.
"They can really complete a look. Sunglasses instantly transform your whole outfit and attitude," he added.
"[The customer who wears my glasses is] a girl who is confident and fashion-forward but still has fun with her looks and style."
If you're not into oversized shades Adam believes turning to a cool colour will also bring something new to your outfit.
"Treat them like you would make-up. I think it's cool to wear an all-black look with a pop of colour, like red on your face," he said.

Super Mario Advance
Review by GodOfWarFanatic
"A solid, enhanced version of SMB 2. And the not-so good Mario Bros."
Now we all know that this is not the real Super Mario Bros. 2, seeing as Nintendo thought the real sequel was too similar to the original Super Mario Bros, so it didn't get released in America. Now any gamer who hasn't been living in a cave should know this, so I'm not gonna bother to explain it. Now I will be reviewing both SMB 2 and Mario Bros. Starting with SMB 2.
Super Mario Bros. 2 Review:
Well the original "Super Mario Bros. 2" on the NES undoubtedly sucked. If I were to review it, I'd give it a 3 or 4. There weren't many hearts, so health was scarce, and it was way too hard. All though it was pretty innovative, it didn't do much for me. So many years later, Nintendo decided to release a port of it for the gameboy advance. Now a lot of ports barely upgrade, if at all. Not in this case. In this case, SMB 2 practically got upgraded in every way. Better graphics, more enemies, funner gameplay, and more hearts! I wouldn't say I love this game, but as for a gameboy game, I'd recommend it. It has a lot of levels, all jam-packed with enemies. Also, all of the shortcuts in the original are featured here.
Gameplay: 9/10
The basic gameplay is a side-scrolling platform. Now what made it different from the original Super Mario Bros., besides the enemies, was the way of defeating your enemies. Instead of jumping on your enemy to kill, or defeat them, you pick up vegetables and other objects such as POW blocks, other enemies, and giant turtle shells. Also you could play as not just Mario, but also Luigi, Peach, and Toad. All with their own special abilities, which are speed (Self-Explanatory), jumping (How high and far they can jump), and strength/power (How fast they pick up items). Mario is the average guy. Very surprising... Luigi can jump the farthest and highest, but his speed and strength is less than Mario's. Peach is below average in every category, except she can glide for like three seconds. Toad is the strongest and fastest, but has the weakest jump.
This game, as each Super Mario Bros. game, is fun when you do speed-runs and know all the short-cuts. Many people say Toad is the most useless character, but to get the fastest time possible, you need him. But speed-run or not, he's still my main character.
In the many levels, each have their own stylelized enviroments. Like deserts and other stuff. All of which are designed wonderfully. Many of the levels have major difficulty differences which may be a turn-off to some players, but I don't really complain. There are bosses spread throughout the game. Most of them are dinosaurs? named Birdo, you encounter them like at least 15 times. There is also a mouse that throws bombs, a three-headed dragon/or snake maybe, and a couple others. But the point is, Birdo is the main (Not in terms of the final) boss in the game. So this game features great gameplay with intuitive boss battles.
Graphics: 7/10
The graphics are beautiful and surprising for a GBA game. Everything is nice and colorful, details are awesome. Just great graphics for a handheld. All the different themes are distinguished in an excellent, and colorful, way. Nothing really to complain about. However, there are better looking GBA games out there.
Sound: 7/10
The in-game effects are definitely upgraded from the original Super Mario Bros. 2, in a good way. There is less repetition with it. And the background music is, well, you've guessed it! Mario sounds.
Controls: 9/10
The controls are nearly perfected. The running, then jumping combination works surprisingly well and there is absolutely no stiffness with the controls. And with the new way of killing enemies, you're probaly wondering how you pick them up. Well, if you stand of the petite patch of grass or an enemy, just hold B for a short time. Remember, the stronger the character, the quicker the process goes. The running and jumping is exactly like the NES.
The one thing stopping the controls from getting a perfect score is the absence of the shoulder buttons. Like in Super Mario World, you could look a little ahead of you to see what obstacles are coming up, but not in this. All though it wouldn't really matter, it's still a nice feature.
Super Mario Bros. 2 final rating: 8/10
It's does everything that everybody wants in a port. To upgrade almost any thing that could've been better and to add more things to enhance gameplay and Super Mario Advance has done just that. It's worth checking playing, even if you didn't like the original Super Mario Bros. 2...as I did. There are also other things to add replay value that I haven't explained, like collecting these Yoshi Eggs, or something.
Mario Bros Review:
Now onto the original Mario Bros. It was the first game to feature both Mario and Luigi in the same game. Well it was Luigi's debut and the game that gave Jumperman his proper name, Mario. It was a hit in the arcades then got ported over to the NES. Neither version of the game appealed to me, I thought it was the most repetitive thing I've ever seen. But it just had something to it that made it a charm, and I'll explain that in this review.
Gameplay: 4/10
So you're a plumber and you have to clean out, I guess it's sewers, in the most unrealistic way. There are platforms to walk on, 3 on each side, and 4 pipes. Enemies, and not a whole big variety of them, come out of the top pipes and what you have to do is go to the platform underneath them, jump on the said above enemy, they'll fall upside-side, you run up to them, then boot their ass off the screen. That's it. That's all you do in this game. Most enemies take one "hit" to make them go upside-down, but the crabs take two. After the first hit, they get a bit faster.
Now the last enemy of each stage is a bit faster than the fast, making it obvious that this guy is the last one to beat. Crabs are the easiest to notice because they go from the casual red, to blue. As you progress, each stage get's harder obviously. Mainly by throwing more enemies at one time in there. But it keeps the same, repetitive concept. Also, to make it harder, in later levels, they throw in these icicles. And if you don't kill them in the time given, they will "explode" and turn the whole platform that they were on into ice, making moving on the said platform harder since you slide. And in later stages of the game, platforms are already "iced" by default.
There isn't much to say about gameplay. Except that it's incredibly repetitive and boring.
Graphics: 8/10
Just like the Super Mario Bros. 2 port, this has also upgrade it's graphical capabilities. The backgrounds aren't as limited and the enemies are more detailed. Also the I mentioned before, the stages become "iced" which is a nice effect. The backgrounds, however, are the main focus in this updated port.
Controls: 7/10
They take a bit to get used to. Originally, if I reviewed Mario Bros. after just playing a couple levels, I'd give the controls a horrible score. But they are actually easy and responsive once you get the hang of it.
Sounds: 8/10
This port hosts the new addition of background music Mario Bros.! And like all Mario games, the music goes perfectly with the environment of the level that you're playing in. It's the not best, but nothing really bad to say about it.
Now I mentioned before that this game was repetitive, but it had this charm. What I meant by that is this game is mindlessly addictive, which is its charm. You just want to increase your high score. And I guess since it's the same throughout, it just makes it that much more addicting.
Mario Bros. Final Rating: 6/10
The gameplay is dull, repetitive, and boring. But it's so addictive that I have to give it at least an average score.
Final Rating: 7/10
Super Mario Advanced has ported two games that I never liked, and made them both enjoyable. Super Mario Bros. 2 is really the main focus in this game, but for some extra fun and a good time-waster, Mario Bros. is a good game to play.
Reviewer's Rating: 3.5 - Good

Cigar Still Life
Michael Moretti
Posted: October 23, 2006
You have a space on the wall behind your smoking room couch that needs something. The still life of the vase and bowl of fruit just doesn't seem to capture the mood and you're a bit old for the neon beer sign. Perhaps Joan van Roden White can help you with your decorating.
The Massachusetts artist has found beauty and inspiration in the cigar and discovered a responsive audience who shares her perspective. For the past five years, she has been putting smoking subjects on canvas. She started out painting cigar portraits on a commission basis. Like the parents of prized pooches in the rococo age, owners would bring their favorite cigars to White to have the visage immortalized…right before the cigars were sparked and turned into heaps of ash.
The oil-on-canvas cigar portraitures measure five by seven inches and retail for $875 each. The Cigar Portrait Collection giclee-on-canvas pieces are $200 each or $1,000 for a set of six.
For more information, go to www.vanRoden.com or call 978-526-4833.

Holy hell, did you use some sort of filter to capture all that mist, or was the foggyness really all that heavy? I find my camera has no problem cutting right through misty scenes with more clarity then I'd like >.>
Hehehe. No, the fog was really that thick. It's in Holland, in early autumn or spring fogs here are huge. My camera actually did cut through it a bit. It was even heavier when looking with bare eyes.
That is stunning

Dr advised using 2 vials of Azzalure for frown, bunny and forehead lines.Is this too much for a first treatment? 28yr old female
Doctor Answers 1
Number of vials
that's a really hard question to answer without seeing a picture, and it also depends what sort of result you want. Some patients want to retain quite a lot of movement and just decrease the lines slightly, others are keen to get rid of any movement at all! I would probably just go with one vial initially because I prefer to under treat and then you can top up later. There might be a very good reason as to why two vials are being used so if you are concerned I would discuss it with your provider- we don't often do things without good reason!

|Re: FST and FieldCache?
|Thu, 19 May 2011 15:58:49 GMT
Wow, 17 replies to my email overnight! This is clearly an interesting topic to folks. Hi Dawid. Sadly, I won't be at Lucene Revolution next week. That's where all the cool kids will be; I'll be home and be square. I made it to O'Reilly Strata in February (a great conference) and I'll be presenting at Basis's "Open Source Search Conference" (government customer focused) mid-June. I've used up my conference budget for this fiscal year. Yes, the use-case here is a unique integer reference to a String that can be looked up fairly quickly, whereas the set of all strings are in a compressed data structure that won't change after its built. A bonus benefit would be that this integer is a sortable substitute for the String. Your observation of this integer being a perfect-hash is astute. I wonder if Lucene could store this FST on-disk for the bytes in a segment instead of what it's doing now? Read-time construction would be super-fast, though for multi-segment indexes, I suppose they'd need to be merged. I expect that this use-case would be particularly useful for cases when you know that the set of strings tends to have a great deal of prefixes in common, such as when EdgeNGramming (applications: query-complete, hierarchical faceting, prefix/tree based geospatial indexing). ~ David Smiley Dawid Weiss wrote: > > Hi David, > >> but with less memory.

It seems there is a lot of reminiscing these days about the Troubadour in Los Angeles and its place in the history of 60's folk music. Even a PBS Special. I thought that I'd add a little color to the history that I've never heard mentioned.
Dickie Davis can verify every word.
When Paul and I first arrived in L.A. in 1961, The Troubadour was anything but a mecca. …more like a yucca. As a matter of fact, it was on the verge of collapse. The Ash Grove was the 'Big Orange of Folk' at the time and the 'strip' (Sunset Blvd from Laurel Canyon to Doheny) was peppered with a folk coffee house here and there. A club on Fairfax (The Garrett), and a few others. That was it. No one had heard of Bob Dylan yet. Dickie Davis was four months away from coming to L.A., running the lights and lauching Monday night hoots at the Troub.
It was the dark ages.
People were flocking to The Renaissance to listen to Les McCann play jazz and Lenny Bruce talk dirty. Jack Kerouac and Alan Ginsberg were the waning gods of the day and folk music had the clubbing crowd scratching their heads wondering why they should go to a joint that didn't serve martinis. Red Foxx was telling dirty jokes in his club on La Cienega Boulevard. Folk clubs, if you could call them that, were mostly coffee houses with loud espresso machines, no booze, and a collection of people who felt more comfortable with poetry and chess than they did with loud music.
Paul and I hit town in the early spring of 1961 in a '49 Chevy with our pal Bob Hippard and my dog Dink, a sweet diminutive German Shepherd. We had just finished our third appearance in Boulder, Colorado where we were truly stars. Our last show was a concert at the University to a sell-out crowd and the buzz had followed us to California, or at least we hoped it had. We were Columbia Recording artists after all, and word had spread about us from our spawning ground, Greenwich Village, which was still the absolute center of the folk music universe in 1961.
Our Greenwich Village reputation had gotten us to Boulder and Denver, and followed us to Los Angeles. I think we were among the first wave of folkies to leave The Big Apple and head for the coast.
In Los Angeles, we soon found out that we were the quintessential folk music misfits. Too polished for The Ash Grove which catered to the authenticity of the ethnic crowd, too smooth for the coffee house scene, not enough fancy chords in our music to qualify us for the jazz clubs (although for our first six months in L.A., our bassist was the legendary Charlie Haden – but that's another story).
On a friend's advice, we phoned Doug Weston, owner of The Troubadour. Doug met us on a street corner in Hollywood one misty June-gloom evening, and promptly deflated our dreams of opening at The Troubadour. He told us that he was considering turning it into a jazz club or just plain shutting it down. Business had been slowly sinking and the evening he met us, he was on his way to see his sister to see if she had enough cash to lend him to keep the doors open for a while longer.
"Of course, if we stay open, and if I decide that I'm going with folk music and not jazz, I would use you – but – I don't think I could pay you much"
"How much?"
This was a logical question for us to ask, since both of us had read a magazine article once about negotiating. I think we found the magazine on the subway.
Doug told us that he would let us know after he talked to his sister and decided the fate of his failing club.
"Where are you staying?" he asked.
"With friends", we answered.
"I'll call you", he said.
Two or three weeks later Doug called and announced that indeed he would like to feature Art and Paul at the Troubadour - immediately.
"….I still can't pay you"
We were so damned excited, we didn't even hear the last part of the sentence…
We showed up for work the next Friday night and sang our hearts out for Doug, Bob Borella (his bartender – read that as Barista) and a handful of the Art and Paul faithful who had heard about the opening through the L.A. grapevine. It was mid-June 1961.
At the end of the first week, we had built a little momentum and since Doug still couldn't pay us more than a few bucks each, we made a deal. (Did I mention that we had read a magazine article about negotiating?)
And so, for the first three weeks of our engagement, Paul, Dink, and I slept in the upstairs dressing rooms of The Troubadour (Dink and I got the room to the left of the corridor that now leads to the lighting booth, and Paul got the one straight ahead), and Bob Borella made sandwiches for us. Room and board. What could be better? Dink came to regard The Troubadour as her permanent home. In the years that followed, when she would wander off from time to time, somehow, she always ended up at The Troubadour – once even after she wandered off from the rear door of The Ice House in Pasadena – that trip took her four days.
And the people started coming. And coming. Doug kept us for another week, another, and another. He obviously hadn't read the same magazine we had or he would have realized that he had been taken. He was even shamed into paying us. Either that or some building or fire inspector found out that we were living there.
By the end of July, business was so good, we moved into The Tropicana Motel down the block at the corner of La Cienega and took our meals in real coffee shops. Stardom and fame were sweet.
Art and Paul played The Troubadour fourteen consecutive weeks in the summer of 1961, starting in June and ending in September. I dare anyone else to make that claim. By the time we left, the folk music scene in Los Angeles had erupted and a flood of performers from all over the country were filling the clubs seven nights a week. Joe and Eddie, Bud and Travis, Steve Martin, The Smothers Brothers. Randy Boone was running Monday Night hoots to sell-out crowds, Dickie Davis ran the light board, and every folk act you could mention eventually showed up at the Troubadour. The rest is history.
And so children, that is how Art and Paul with their clever business acumen saved the Troubadour and how it became the magical shining light of the Los Angeles folk music scene, and paved the way for those who followed – Linda Ronstadt, Roger Miller, Jackson Browne, James Taylor and Carole King.
Those guys had it easy.
So there!
Art and Paul in 1961
That's me making an A7 chord look hard.

Question about Singer 14SH654
Posted by momhill on
On the inside of your front panel, the one you can open by pushing to the right and pulling down on it, is a thread guide in color . Follow each color and count the threading points to be sure you thread each one.Thread your loopers FIRST and your needles LAST. Also, the lower looper must be threaded so that the thread goes through the slot and stays there.

Neil MacGregor
British Museum, director
Joanna Mackle
British Museum deputy director
A visionary museum director, MacGregor remains our greatest explainer of the power of museums and their treasures, yet is approachable and thoughtful to his staff. Next year marks a huge moment in his British Museum tenure: the opening of the £135 million, Richard Rogers-designed World Conservation and Exhibitions Centre. Ex-Faber & Faber book publishing executive Mackle has been at the BM for a decade, rising to deputy director earlier this year.
Matthew Slotover and Amanda Sharp
Frieze, directors
Ten years on from revolutionising the London art scene with the Frieze Art Fair, Slotover and Sharp are more influential than ever. Their New York fair and London-based Frieze Masters have proved to be huge hits and are growing, while the original contemporary fair has been redesigned to become more spacious — and more exclusive. Slotover is the public figurehead, with Sharp in the background.
Sir Nicholas Serota
Tate, director
A quarter of a century after taking over at the Tate, Serota remains London's most powerful art-world figure. His chief focus, Tate Modern's extension, which opens in 2016, edges ever closer to its £215 million fundraising target, with a £10 million donation from Eyal Ofer recently announced. More charming and funny than his stern public image suggests, Serota once listed his hobby in Who's Who as "hanging pictures" — a skill he'll bring to bear on the Tate Modern's Matisse exhibition.
Nicholas Penny
National Gallery, director
With strong views on everything from the misuse of Trafalgar Square to the blandness of museums of contemporary art, Penny is a refreshingly outspoken museum boss. He runs an engaging programme: as well as bringing new art into the gallery — Michael Landy's clanging, mechanical saints were a hit this year — he continues to focus on relatively little-known figures such as Federico Barocci without ever forgetting the masters. Rembrandt opens next autumn.
Charles Saumarez Smith
Royal Academy of Arts, chief executive
Fresh from another blockbuster — Manet drew 350,000 visitors this spring — the affable but determined Saumarez Smith is overseeing a major transformation of the RA. New facilities for the RA's friends and a new restaurant and café open in the Keeper's House later this month, while David Chipperfield continues to reshape Burlington Gardens and provide a link between the RA's front and back.
Charles Saatchi
After unwelcome scrutiny of the end of his marriage to Nigella Lawson, the spotlight returns to his role as our foremost art collector. Saatchi's eye for new art remains keen — he bought Lynette Yiadom-Boakye years before her Turner Prize nomination this year, for instance.
Anita Zabludowicz
Zabludowicz Collection, co-founder
With her husband Poju, Geordie Zabludowicz has created one of Britain's leading contemporary art collections, which she shows in her Chalk Farm gallery. A donor to Tate Modern, Zabludowicz lives (and parties) among the art world elite, but is equally passionate about young artists, whom she regularly commissions to create work for the gallery.
Grayson Perry
With a Bafta for his 2012 Channel 4 series on taste joining the 2003 Turner Prize on his mantelpiece, Perry will be the first artist to deliver the Reith lectures on BBC Radio 4, choosing the subject of art today. Despite his friendly persona, whether as himself or transvestite alter-ego Claire, Perry can be refreshingly critical of his peers — those lectures should be essential listening.
Jonathan Yeo
A very 21st-century society portraitist, Yeo has depicted Blair and Cameron as well as a dramatic nude portrait of a pregnant Sienna Miller. He also dabbles in edgier material, like collaged porn portraits of George Bush and images of plastic surgery. A National Portrait Gallery show opened this autumn.
Sir Peter Bazalgette
Arts Council, chairman
With his Endemol TV background, Bazalgette raised some eyebrows on his appointment, but has been well received. Like museums and other arts institutions, the Arts Council had its budget cut by a further five per cent in the most recent spending review, and Bazalgette has the unenviable task of deciding if crucial funding is chopped.
Julia Peyton-Jones
Serpentine Gallery, director
Hans Ulrich Obrist
Serpentine Gallery, co-director, exhibitions and programmes
London's most dynamic art duo: Peyton-Jones a brilliant leader, fundraiser and under-rated curator and Obrist a perennial whirlwind of ideas, whether in the Serpentine's series of marathon events or in the countless exhibitions and events he curates around the world. They open the spectacular Zaha Hadid-designed Serpentine Sackler Gallery this month, doubling the size and expanding the reach of their programme.
Chris Dercon
Tate Modern, director
This summer's emphasis on Africa and the Middle East at Tate Modern reflects the infectiously enthusiastic Belgian's vision of the gallery's future: genuinely international, reflecting the art world's — and London's — global mix. But the blockbusters will continue, too, with Matisse due in April. Work continues apace on Tate Modern's new extension, with a new bridge taking shape over the Turbine Hall.
Stephen Deuchar
The Art Fund, director
As the Art Fund's membership passes 100,000 for the first time, largely thanks to the superb value of its Art Pass, the energetic Deuchar retains its spirit as a saviour of British heritage while making it a crucial player in debates around historical and contemporary art, and a vital funder of museum collections across the country.
Jeremy Deller
This energetic, boundlessly enthusiastic north Londoner is an astute chronicler of British social and political issues — his passionate and often satirical view of our culture met with huge acclaim at this year's Venice Biennale. He also brought his inflatable Stonehenge to the Olympic Park this summer.
Sandy Nairne
National Portrait Gallery, director
The enthusiasm Nairne brings to the NPG is palpable in the museum's varied but consistently high quality programme. This autumn's offerings help explain the museum's popularity: a show of sometimes controversial contemporary portraitist Jonathan Yeo alongside an exhibition about Elizabeth I. Nairne is also chair of the Fabric Advisory Committee of St Paul's Cathedral.
Frank Cohen
Nicolai Frahm
Dairy Art Centre, directors
Cohen, for so long the "Saatchi of the North", is at last in the south himself with his fellow collector Frahm, in a beautifully converted dairy in King's Cross. The effusive and outspoken Mancunian and the quieter, more measured Dane show their collection with new commissions by international artists.
Phyllida Barlow
After years of teaching and showing occasionally, Barlow is now one of Britain's busiest artists, showing in major venues across the world, including at the Venice Biennale this year. She takes on Tate Britain's Duveen Galleries commission next spring. Mother of young hotshot artist, Eddie Peake.
Kate Cooper
Marianne Forrest
Auto Italia South East, directors
The youthful linchpins of the amorphous artist-run non-profit organisation, born in Peckham but now based in King's Cross, and at the heart of an emerging scene dominated by performance art, online events and countercultural collaborations. The Open Home Show by Rachel Pimm starts this month.
Hannah Barry
Bold Tendencies, co-founder
A dynamo in the trendy Peckham scene, the ambitious Barry opens a new space there this autumn to add to her West End gallery. She also created the Palazzo Peckham in Venice and, with her co-director Sven Mündner, hosts the annual Bold Tendencies sculpture show in a disused Peckham multi-storey car park.
Eddie Peake
After graduating from the Royal Academy Schools this summer, Peake, the son of artists Phyllida Barlow and Fabian Peake is already showing widely and has been snapped up by Jay Jopling for his White Cube gallery. Erotic performances and brash text-based paintings are his trademark.
Jay Jopling
White Cube galleries, owner
Though the tall, charming old Etonian is synonymous with Damien Hirst and the YBAs, he continues to venture into international territories — a São Paulo branch opened last December to join the one in Hong Kong and his spaces in Bermondsey and St James's. Meanwhile, Jopling has attracted new talent to join his A-list roster, including Eddie Peake.
Dasha Zhukova
Collector and gallery director
Based in London for much of the year, Zhukova, with partner Roman Abramovich, is transforming Russia's art scene, particularly with The Garage Center for Contemporary Art. A keen collector, Zhukova reportedly spent millions on key works by Muscovite Ilya Kabakov this year.
Victoria Siddall
Frieze Masters, director
Frieze touted its Masters fair as a fresh, contemporary look at historical art, but few could have expected it would be such an unequivocal success, even outshining its contemporary sibling. Siddall, despite not being an art historian herself, managed that first edition brilliantly and welcomes numerous newcomers to this year's fair.
Sir Anish Kapoor
Though not reaching the giddy heights of last year's Orbit for the Olympic Park, the indefatigable Kapoor continues to stretch his work, this year in Berlin, where his enormous exhibition continues until November and contains a vast red "sun" with conveyor belts dropping red wax to the floor, and Istanbul, where his stone works are celebrated.
Penelope Curtis
Tate Britain, director
While LS Lowry gave Curtis her first huge hit as director this summer, her chronological rehang of Tate Britain's collection met with universal praise, with one critic hailing the modest Curtis as the saviour of British art. The new hang ushered in refurbished galleries, part of a £45 million development which opens in full — with a new café, staircase and friends' facilities — in November.
Iwona Blazwick
Whitechapel Gallery, director
As her summer exhibition The Spirit of Utopia showed, the ever-inspired and inspiring Blazwick is a doyenne of the international art world, regularly introducing zeitgeisty artists from beyond these shores to Londoners. This autumn she unveils a landmark retrospective of the Holloway-born Sarah Lucas.
Ed Atkins
Atkins's mysterious, literary high-definition videos have taken the art world by storm: he has shown at the prestigious PS1 in New York, features in the Venice and Lyon biennales and has shows in Düsseldorf and Zurich opening soon. A decent bet for the Turner Prize shortlist next year.
Polly Staple
Chisenhale Gallery, director
A former curator at the Frieze Art Fair, Staple has a phenomenal track record for identifying emerging talent, like Ed Atkins and Lynette Yiadom-Boakye, ensuring that the Chisenhale remains an essential venue for any East End gallery-goer.
Gregor Muir
Institute of Contemporary Arts, director
After a period in the doldrums, the ICA has regained its creative and radical edge, in no small part due to its dynamic director. Its off-site programme is notable, with an appearance at Glastonbury and a show about London's subculture at the Old Selfridges Hotel complementing a strong programme on The Mall.
Antony Gormley
A relatively quiet year for Gormley, but even so he has had solo shows in Salzburg and Antwerp and showed a major installation at the Art Basel fair. The tall, cerebral sculptor continues to have the knack of stopping the public in its tracks, as figures installed for the Sculpture in the City programme in London this summer have proved.
Sadie Coles
A stalwart of the cutting-edge London gallery scene for two decades, Coles opens her new Kingly Street space this autumn. Rather than relying on her established artists, such as Sarah Lucas or Carl Andre, she turns to young blood to open the gallery: American painter Ryan Sullivan has his first solo UK show.
James Lingwood
Michael Morris
Artangel, co-directors
The visionary curators-cum-producers are always looking to take art into new territories and began the year with five commissions for artworks which appeared after the Today programme on BBC Radio Four. They are now collaborating with the BBC on their Artangel Open series — the two awards this year going to Katrina Palmer and Ben Rivers.
Erica Bolton
Jane Quinn
Bolton & Quinn, founders
Publicists for everything from the Tate to the Rijksmuseum and the Prada Foundation, Bolton and Quinn are never far from the art world's biggest successes. But they also have a strong campaigning bent, their eye-catching ideas ensuring politicians never forget the arts' value to the country and the perils of cuts.
Martin Creed
His career may have begun with the controversy of his Turner Prize win for The Lights Going On and Off, but the Scotsman has become a linchpin of the arts community: next March, his composition Face to Face With Bach, written for the reopening of the Royal Festival Hall's organ, premieres at the Southbank Centre.
Henry Wyndham
Sotheby's, chairman
Now recovered from a shooting accident in which he nearly lost his eyes last year, Wyndham has returned with brio to the auction scene, hammering down more than £100 million in Sotheby's Impressionist and Modern June sales. And a coast-to-coast walk in May raised hundreds of thousands for Orbis, the global sight-restoring charity.
Lynette Yiadom-Boakye
The first figurative painter to be shortlisted for the Turner Prize in years, Yiadom-Boakye paints in a small studio in Hackney. Her enigmatic images of figures set in indistinct, moody settings have also attracted international acclaim — she is currently showing at the Venice Biennale.
Angela Choon
David Zwirner Gallery, director
One year on from its opening, David Zwirner Gallery has become essential viewing in any Mayfair trip. Tapping into the new-money art collectors is key, but she also has an appetite for experiment, inviting emerging artists to show. The epic photographs of Philip-Lorca diCorcia are Choon's big autumn show.
Ivor Braka
Art dealer
Braka has drawn more attention for his relationship with supermodel Kristen McMenamy than his art dealing. Though famous for selling Freuds and Bacons, the Tory donor has eclectic interests: he recently bought 19th-century French artist Eugène Boudin and edgy conceptualist Glenn Ligon.
Jussi Pylkkänen
Christie's Europe, president
More than any other auction in recent times, the contemporary sales presided over by Pylkkänen at Christie's in New York in May reflected the art world's bucking of economic woes. The highest grossing auction ever, it brought in $495 million.
Martin Roth
Victoria & Albert Museum, director
The debonair German presided over the V&A's most successful exhibition ever in David Bowie Is, but this autumn reflects the breadth of Roth's programmes, with a show of Chinese Painting and a typically witty intervention by Scandinavian artists Elmgreen and Dragset opening this month. Meanwhile the V&A's textile archive in Olympia opens to the public next month.
Haroon Mirza
It's been quite a year for the London and Sheffield-based artist, who mashes up DJ technology and minimalist sculpture to create inspired sound and light works. After two shows in London this spring, including one at Tate Modern, and a solo show at the Hepworth in Wakefield, Mirza is currently on view at the Museum of Modern Art, New York.
Mark Leckey
Birkenhead-born Turner Prize-winner Leckey is beloved of young artists and curators for his multimedia installations, often focusing on the links between humans, technology and objects. The dandyish Merseysider's acclaimed exhibition The Universal Addressability of Dumb Things toured the UK earlier this year, while he currently has an exhibition at LA's edgy Hammer Museum.
Mollie Dent-Brocklehurst
Pace Gallery, director
The Sudeley Castle heiress has hit the ground running in the Burlington Gardens branch of Pace with a series of acclaimed shows. A former advisor to Dasha Zhukova and Roman Abramovich, Dent-Brocklehurst is perfectly poised to attract the new-money art collectors from Russia, the Middle East and Asia. Her labradoodle Mamba is never far from her side.
Conrad Shawcross
Educated at the Ruskin, Chelsea and Slade schools, Shawcross loves to use metals and light and is known for his lattice-style geometric sculptures. The dashing 36-year-old son of writer William Shawcross had an acclaimed show this year at the Roundhouse in Chalk Farm and has shown in Amsterdam, Paris and Munich.
Brian Sewell
Evening Standard, art critic
Revered and feared for his brilliant, erudite, trenchant and always uncompromising reviews, Sewell is the grand homme of art critics, immune to fads. So when he says an exhibition such as the Gauguin at the Courtauld is "exquisite", such praise carries even more weight.
Marquess of Cholmondeley
Houghton Hall, owner
David George Philip Cholmondeley, the seventh Marquess, used his family seat, Houghton Hall in Norfolk, to host one of the most celebrated exhibitions of this year, a collection of paintings by Old Masters from St Petersburg's Hermitage — works his ancestors sold to Catherine the Great for a fortune in 1779. He is intent on restoring the reputation of his 4,000-acre estate as an artistic beacon.
Iwan Wirth
Hauser & Wirth, president
The rise of this Swiss gallerist, perhaps Larry Gagosian's main challenger in commercial art-world power, is unstoppable. He opened a 2,300 sq m gallery in New York this year, and a new branch will open in LA in 2015. A huge complex in Somerset will be unveiled next year — he now spends much of his time in the West Country with his wife Manuela and their four children.

Hercules RMX MIDI DJ Controller – First Impressions
The Hercules RMX MIDI DJ controller with a built-in sound card hit our offices this week, and we wanted to give you our first impressions before our official review premiers in the near future. Once you get past the über-cheesy outer box that screams As Seen On TV, your presented with the silver RMX packaged in a convenient carrying case. Nice touch!
First off, this is not Your Daddy's Hercules controller. The company has stepped up its game in terms of build quality and components to unleash a "Pro" controller aimed at Digital DJs who are looking for a serious controller/sound card without having to mortgage their homes.
All the "Mickey Mouse" components from their previous DJ have been replaced with quality bits and the RMX is housed in a very solid metal chassis. The faders and knobs are tight and don't have the cheap, flimsy feel you find in budget controllers. The buttons, however, have a "not quite right" tactile sensation when pressed, and may not appeal to some users. In addition, the blue backlit LED buttons are supposed to stay on when activated, but only flash for a few seconds when first connected to a computer.
The Jog wheels are not effective for scratching and will end up only used sparingly for needle dropping and cuing. However, there's plenty of buttons for looping, cue points, sync, and customizing the interface to your specific needs. The layout is also quite nice with good ergonomics and plenty of room between controls, even if you have meaty paws.
The other noteworthy observation is that there is no Master output summing all channels. You have RCA or +4dB quarter-inch I/O, but no master out. This isn't a problem with Virtual DJ, which comes bundled with the RMX, but could be an issue with other mixing software.
The Hercules RMX is available now for $349. More information on the Hercules RMX.

The Great Endeavor was a scientific initiative that was sponsored by the ancient Tkon race.
Thousands of years ago, the Tkon Empire realized that their home systems star threatened to explode and lead to the extinction of their civilization. The Empress of the Empire created a program that led to the imperial budget being placed into a scientific program that sought to move the central star of the Tkom's home system and replace it with a fresh star of a similar configuration thus saving their homeworld and its "core planets". Its development was seen as a controversial development by imperial colony worlds such as Rzom who saw it a fruitless attempt to save a worthless pile of rock.
However, before they could accomplish this the entity known as 0 caused the home star to enter supernova which destroyed their race before they could achieve the Great Endeavor. (TNG novel: Q-Zone)

There are so many recipes here for chocolate chip cookies that I found myself going in circles to see if my exact recipe was posted. I know there isn't one here named Heidi's favorte so here it is!
