Akron: Better putting has become a major priority for Lee Westwood and the world number two was delighted with his improved form on the greens at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational on Thursday.
The 38-year-old Briton has been working this week on a much freer putting stroke with American guru Dave Stockton and he reaped instant reward as he carded an opening three-under-par 67 at Firestone Country Club.
"I played well and rolled it nicely on the greens as well, so I`m pleased with everything," Westwood told reporters after recording five birdies and two bogeys to end the round five shots off the pace.
"A 67 is never anything to complain about around this golf course, even when there`s not much wind and it`s playing soft. It has its trickeries out there."
Westwood was spurred into trying to improve his putting after he missed the cut at last month`s British Open despite leading the greens-in-regulation standings at Royal St. George`s.
Long regarded as one of the game`s best players from tee to green, the Englishman is yet to win a major title with putting widely accepted as his Achilles heel.
"I worked with Dave (Stockton) and his son Dave Jr. on Monday and a little bit on Tuesday, but not much because they gave me quite a bit to think about on Monday," Westwood said with a broad grin.
"It`s just a case of trying to work through it and pick out the bits that I could incorporate in my stroke and my routine."
Westwood, twice a runner-up in major championships and four-times a third-place finisher, said he had been mainly focusing on grip pressure and the way his putter sits in his left hand.
"I feel like it freed my stroke a little bit and got the ball rolling on the line I had picked a few times," he added, having totaled only 27 putts in Thursday`s opening round.
Asked how easy it had been for him to make adjustments to his putting stroke, Westwood replied: "It`s really hard. I catch myself a few times out there where I had to stand off it (the putt) because I had taken too long over it.
"It`s actually in the back of your mind that you shouldn`t hit it, so I stepped off it and started all over again. I got it right most of the time. It`s just a case of practicing it."
Westwood, who tied for third in the U.S. Open at Congressional in June, said he was striving to putt like a relaxed teenager.
"The worse you putt, the more you start to analyze it, the more technical you can get and the more cluttered your brain gets, and that`s not the ideal way to putt," he said.
"You just want to putt like a 14-year-old really, just stand over it and roll it in the hole."

Residence Posts Insurance policies coverage – Is it Really worth It?
Some people believe that insuring the contents of their household is not definitely worth the funds, but could they have the funds for to exchange all their personal objects if they ended up lost or destroyed? Relying upon the degree of cowl obtained, house substance insurance supplies include in opposition to theft, fire in addition to other perils for the articles or blog posts of one's house. However, nearly a quarter of all UK properties will not have any insurance handle versus the loss of their particular belongings.
Home matter subject are deemed to become folks merchandise which can be removed from your home and generally are not element in the integral framework of the home. As an example, fitted wardrobes would not be considered to obtain coated under a house articles or blog posts plan even though free-standing wardrobes would as they is often faraway from your home. Similarly carpets will be considered as substance even though floorboards are facet from your construction with the residence. Solutions this type of as Plasma TVs, musical instruments, CD and DVD collections, clothes, curtains and kitchen electrical merchandise are all considered substance under most home insurance cover policies.
All of us whose premises is mortgaged will probably be compelled by their loan provider to buy buildings insurance prepare to cover the household. Nonetheless, household substance insurance is definitely an optional insurance cover that may possibly be obtained within the discretion with the occupant and numerous choose not to buy it.
In accordance for the Association of British Insurers, almost 1 in 4 households doesn't possess residence matter subject insurance plan. Some argue that they can not locate the funds for it but you might locate also a considerable proportion who think about that residence contents insurance cover is pointless and not definitely definitely worth the bucks. Their discussion is the fact that reasonably than acquiring to pay premiums to an insurer in unwanted of numerous numerous years for include, the money can like a substitute be invested.
Recent investigation carried out by the Norwich Union observed that the normal partner and kids can make one particular particular home contents insurance cover state each 7 numerous years amounting to just in unwanted of £1,000 every circumstance. Their discussion will be to preserve that quantity of money would amount to £11.ninety monthly over 7 years, substantially much less than the price of the common insurance cover premium of £15.00, for that reason adopting a DIY tactic to home insurance plan would support save money.
However, you'll locate three major flaws to that discussion. Firstly, if the uninsured ended up to endure theft or damage soon after only a person 4 weeks they'd be severely out of pocket. Secondly, though the normal declare measurement may perhaps be only £1,000 that will not in any way mirror the entire image. Regardless of the fact that all around 50 per cent of claims will probably be substantially much less than the normal amount, 50 per cent will likely be in unwanted in the standard. Norwich union home insurance At some point, the entire cost of changing each and every in the substance inside a home is believed at £27,000. Within circumstance of a important catastrophe when all in the articles or blog posts would have to have altering that will be reasonably a considerable hit to an uninsured particular man or woman. In that situation, numerous kilos a thirty day interval would seem a modest amount to shell out to understand all round handle and peace of mind.

Intelligent Exploration of Berlin
Beth Fox | Los Angeles, CA USA | 03/13/2005
(4 out of 5 stars)
"This film is more scholarly than the typical "explore-a-region" documentary because it was written by an expert on the city, Brian Ladd. Instead of touring Berlin region by region, the film tours the city by historical era, starting in the Middle Ages, going through the Royal Era, the Weimar Era, the Nazi Era, the Divided City and the present. Ladd explores and explains the different types of architecture found in the city, and how the buildings relate to the various times in which they were built. There is extensive time devoted to "Jewish Berlin," both past and present, including the magnificent synagogue and the new Jewish museum. The DVD also contains, as extras, erudite discussions by Professors Johannes Helmrath and Peter Pulzer, who add additional historical background. Highly recommended for anyone who is planning to visit Berlin, or who is just interested in this fascinating city.
For those who want to see more of Berlin, I also recommend the masterpiece: "Belin, Symphony of a Great City," filmed in 1927. It is a remarkable film that puts you in the middle of the city before it was destroyed by war. Additionally, Wim Wenders' film "Wings of Desire," while not about Berlin per se, contains excellent footage of how Berlin looked just a few years before the fall of the wall."
Now We Know.
Charles G. Inman | Fort Edward, NY USA | 02/08/2003
(4 out of 5 stars)
""Berlin's Hidden History" provides an insightful glimpse into the Berlin of today and the psyche of its citizens, primarily as revealed in restorative and modern architecture, reflecting the pervasive influence of the past. Emphasis is on events of the post-Weimar Republic, however earlier history is not neglected.A balanced and enlightening view of a great city's past."
A Waste of Time
J. M. Peplinski | Custer, WI USA | 08/18/2006
(1 out of 5 stars)
"Berlin's "hidden history" remains hidden in this uninformative, self-indulgent pastiche. The film makers spend too much time on out-the-window shots from the S-Bahn, without even trying to identify the passing sights. Tendentious disquisitions on famous sights fail to identify the sites, the neighborhoods, or even streets and surrounding buildings. Too little history and too little geographical information make this film a waste of time."


text: I think it is safely to say that about 60% of all gun-related crimes are related to drugs. Whether you need to protect your goods, extort people for money to pay for drugs or keep them safe. Once the market is legalized and regulated there is no need for anyone to commit a crime, in fact you create a whole new market, solid jobs, pensions, etc., etc. Sometimes, it's easier to just grab the bull by its balls than waving a red flag and dodging every attack. Crime doesn't just "happen", so the only solution to lower it is to tackle its root problem and one of crime's roots is the drug trade on an international scale. Too many innocent people have lost their lives and governments are urinating money in the wind by harboring petty criminals or fighting a lost battle over and over and over again. I know, we can argue just how bad drugs can be and what they can do to you, but let's face it, there are millions of "law-abiding" civilians taking them on a daily or weekly basis. So why dance around the tree and pretend you live in a world where this doesn't happen? It does, even in your neighborhood! I believe as long as we educate ourselves properly on drugs, their effects and if government taxed the trade to fund medical professionals to provide help and treatment in relation to drugs, I think we can manage. We should be that intelligent a people. Do all this and you will see a decrease in gun-related crime. Do I have statistics to back this claim up? No, but my spidey-sense can tell there will be a shift and many, many lives will be spared. But as long as you don't make it happen you'll never know whether it'll work or not - oh, wait, prohibition! What are your thoughts?

10 Best Slow Rock Ballads
Can you name 10 best slow rock ballads? It might be a challenge. Many great ballads were recorded through the years and opinions always vary because music is subjective. People like what they like. The American music audience consistently rank the following songs among the best slow ballads of all time. See if you agree.
- "Imagine" Many consider John Lennon's 1970s song, "Imagine," the best slow rock ballad of all time. Interestingly, the song that is popular with the American masses is unconventional, anti-religious and anti-nationalistic.
- "Bridge Over Troubled Water" "Bridge Over Troubled Water" is a well-known slow ballad by Simon and Garfunkel. The 1970 song has different interpretations, but friendship appears to be the central theme.
- "Crying" "Crying" is Roy Orbison's slow, haunting rock and roll ballad from the early 1960s. The song's narrator cries in his heart as he sings of a lost love and how seeing her again affects him.
- "Tears In Heaven" "Tears In Heaven" is a moving rock ballad by Eric Clapton. The 1990s song expresses Clapton's pain following the death of his four-year-old son.
- "Piano Man" "Piano Man" is Billy Joel's signature song. This 1970s ballad recounts the different people he met during his days as a lounge singer.
- "In My Life" "In My Life" is one of the very best slow rock ballads. The 1960s Beatles hit represents a generalized reminiscence on the past that everyone can relate to.
- "Candle in the Wind" "Candle In The Wind" is a 1970s song by Elton John, written in memory of Marilyn Monroe. John also performed a remake as a tribute to Princess Diana.
- "American Pie" "American Pie" is one of the most popular slow rock ballads from the 1970s. Don McLean's signature song recounts the plane crash that killed three legendary rock and roll stars on "the day the music died."
- "Desperado" "Desperado" is a 1970s soft rock ballad by the Eagles. It is known as a "painfully slow ballad." It appears to tell the story of a cowboy who refuses to fall in love, but some say it's about a rock star who must suffer for his art.
- "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother" "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother" is a slow rock ballad from the 1960s. The Hollies recorded the most popular version and the title phrase is said to be a Boys Town motto from the 1940s.

The 183 meter long, 35,669 dwt tanker Alia caught fire in the North Sea off Hvide Sande, Denmark while en route to Malta from Gothenburg. The fire started after an explosion in the vessel's engine room.
Image: Manuel Hernandez Lafuente
The crew evacuated the compartment and turned on the tanker's fire suppression system. The system released CO2 into the engine room extinguishing the fire, but the tanker had sustained damage and was adrift.
Two nearby fishing vessels came to give assistance to the tanker in distress. One hour after the call for help, two other ships of shipping company Esvagt reached the incident site. One of the ships, the Standby Safety Vessel Esvagt Omega poured water onto the hull of the tanker to keep it cool.
At around 1:00 after midnight local time the rescue teams reported that the fire was under control. The on board inspection revealed that the temperature at the critical points was back to normal levels.
There are no reports of injuries or oil leaks after the explosion. The entire crew is still on board, said the team leader of the task forces.
As the ship's engine is seriously damaged, the tanker should be towed to port as soon as possible.

Pb: PGSC
Jalandhar, Apr 17 (PTI) Every third day a person dies in mishap due to stray cows roaming on roads in the state, the Punjab Gau Sewa Commission (PGSC) claimed today.
PGSC Chairman Kimti Lal Bhagat said, "In the last two- and-a-half-years, a person died in every three days in road accidents occurred due to cows and their progenies roaming on the streets. But the government and the administration are not serious about it."
"According to the records with the commission, at least 300 people have died in road accidents due to cows. Currently, 1,06,000 lakh cows are roaming on the roads of the state," he claimed.
In these mishaps, besides the people, these animals also get injured and killed too, Bhagat said, adding these stray cows also damage crops.
The government should help the commission to send such stray cows to gau shalas (shelters). Twenty-two cow shelters have been built in as many districts of the state and now need to send the stray animals in them, he said. PTI SRT DIP

An Imperfect Circle
1000 Lilac Cascade of Discordant Poise
Raksha Loralai
1000 Lilac Cascade appears to interesting travelers within the wyld zone of the Firewander district. She crafts a shell of herself made of whatever material is prevalent in the wyld environment. The shell is a flawless, achingly beautiful, statuesque woman. In person, her presence is overwhelming; the sweet smell of lilacs permeates the air, her dusky flesh exposed save where purple flowers cling to her like a cloud doing nothing to conceal her. Her lilac eyes are hypnotic, flecked with gold and cat-slitted eyes.
- Offered to guide the characters in exchange for a kiss, but did not specify to where and lead them to the Firewander freehold.
- Made a second deal to guide the characters where they wanted to go and balm Drac Ir's wounds in exchange for a spirit offered by Zakiti and an hour of passionate lovemaking with Drac.
- According to Delightful Three Ways Thistle Crusade, something is growing within Lilac and it will be fed with Drac's blood.
- Lilac's daughter by Drac is Golden Hyacinth Dreams.

June 27, 2016
Tai Wan Village, where we live is a small villiage that's on the South China Sea. We have a very shallow bay, so when the tide is out a lot of land shows! These phots were taken today. The bottom photo was taken when I was returning from my walk, coming down through our village.
It was in 1964, when I was 13 years of age, the last time a Cleveland professional sports team won a championship in any sport. Having grown up in the northern Ohio area, about an hour and a half from Cleveland, I've been a diehard fan of their sports teams for all these years.
Finally, today I'm relishing their historical victory over the Golden State Warriors, who this year had the best regular-season record in the history of the NBA. To be honest, after the first two games in which Cleveland got demolished, I figured we were in for another "wait until next year." That's been a common saying of our sports teams! After four games Cleveland was down 3 games to 1. No team has ever come back from that deficit to win the championship in the NBA. However, somehow, Lebron and crew found a way to make history, winning two of the last three games at the arena where the Warriors play. This season Golden State set a record by winning 56 games in a row at home.
In the seven game playoff series, none of the first six games we're very close, but in the last game, game seven, it was a nail-biter to the end. Way to hang on Cavs! We don't have to wait till next year now!
Otherwise, my week was fairly normal. The only extra activity I had was the World Refugee Day program on Saturday evening, which I attended. I didn't have to do anything in the program, so just enjoyed the music, speakers. The program was sponsored by various charity organizations and churches, and sought to draw attention to the refugee problems facing our world. Hong Kong now hosts around 11,000 asylum-seekers and refugees. When we first started River Grace 2011, there were only around 6000.
In the past few months the there has been an increasing resentment among some Hong Kong people that they come here to use our resources. There is still a lot of biases against them, and there have even been calls to retain all of them in a closed camp.
If the immigration had a more fair and quick way to process them, it would help immensely since some of them have been here for 10 plus years… basically in limbo, with nothing to do.
One of the speakers of the program, Jeffrey Andrews, of Christian Action, gave a testimonial of three refugees who have now been resettled in other countries. I suppose it was just a coincidence, but of the three he shared about,one attended our church nearly every week, and the other two had attended some of our special classes or activities that RiverGrace sponsored.
On the homefront in the States, Cindy has only 10 more days before she leaves to return to Hong Kong. This past weekend, she, Ace Becky and the children went camping. Fortunately they had beautiful weather for that, although I guess it was quite hot.
That's the update for this week. Make it a great week! Blessings, Dave
Rivers and Waterfalls
In his book River Out of Eden, Oxford scientist Richard Dawkins explains, "The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil and no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference."(1) In a similar vein, Dawkins praises the humorous rejoinder of Douglas Adams to arguments that claim an apparent order and purpose in the universe: "To illustrate the vain conceit that the universe must be somehow preordained for us because we are so well suited to live in it, [Adams] mimed a wonderfully funny imitation of a puddle of water, fitting itself snugly into a depression in the ground, the depression uncannily being exactly the same shape as the puddle."(2) Their claim is clear: Humanity has adapted to a blind and indifferent universe like water to the shape of its container. It is perhaps a claim that at times lingers suggestively in desolate places of life and mind.
Ernest Gordon may, too, have at one time agreed. An officer of the British army during the Second World War, he was captured by the Japanese while at sea. At the age of 24, he was sent to work in the prison camp that would be constructing the Burma-Siam railroad.
For every mile of track, 393 men are said to have died. Wearing nothing but loincloths, they worked for hours in scorching temperatures, chopping their way through tangled jungles. Those who paused out of exhaustion were beaten to death by guards. Treated like animals, the prisoners became themselves like beasts trying to survive. Adapting to their harsh captivity, theft was as rampant as disease among them. Gordon himself eventually became so weak from illness that he was removed from the common camp and placed in the Death House. He describes his purposeless existence in that cruel and indifferent setting: "I was a prisoner of war, lying among the dead, waiting for the bodies to be carried away so that I might have more room."(3)
Each night the Japanese guards would count the work tools before anyone was permitted to return to camp. One evening, when a shovel was found to be missing, a guard shouted relentlessly that the guilty man must present himself. When no one responded, he ordered callously, "All die! All die!" At this, a young man stepped forward, confessing to the theft, and was immediately killed before them.
The railroad prison camp by the River Kwai was a place where many could have observed in horror that "the universe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no God watching over those in dire need of hope." Like water conforming to the shape of its container, the captured men became like men fighting to survive, void of right and wrong, void of reverence for life, void of all meaning. Yet, amidst the stagnant waters of hatred and bitterness, something was astir.
After the incident with the shovel, upon returning to the camp, one of the guards discovered a mistake in their counting. There had never been a missing shovel. The young man that stepped forward was innocent; he had sacrificed his life to preserve the lives of his fellow inmates. After this incident, attitudes among the camp began to change dramatically. Instead of men in a detached game of survival of the fittest, they began to look out for each other. One of the men remembered the words of Scripture: "Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends." Gordon, who once lay forgotten for dead, was slowly nursed back to health by fellow prisoners. Fully recovered, he eventually became the makeshift chaplain of the camp. When the prison was liberated in 1945—three years after his capture—Gordon entered seminary to become a minister of the message of Jesus Christ. "Faith thrives where there is no hope but God," he later testified. How contrary to the words of Richard Dawkins.
The transformation in the men of the prison was so thoroughly unlike the world they were forced to live in that one could argue it was more like a waterfall defying gravity and moving upstream than a puddle naturally fitting into the crevice that holds it. The sacrifice of one innocent man can indeed reverse the flow of history. And this kingdom the crucified one came to proclaim is among us, a spring of living water in a dry and weary land.

Two small county judges both got arrested for speeding on the same day. Rather than call the state Supreme Court for a visiting judge, each agreed to hear the other's case. The first judge took the bench while the second stood at the defendant's table and admitted his guilt. The sentencing judge immediately suspended both the fine and costs. They switched places. The second judge admitted that he was speeding, too.
Thereupon the first judge immediately fined him $250 and ordered him to pay court costs. The second judge was furious. "I suspended your fine and costs, but you threw the book at me!" he fumed. The first judge looked at him and replied, "This is the second such case we've had in here today. Someone has to get tough about all this speeding!"

This guy was waiting in the downtown L. A. bus station for the bus to Pasadena. He spotted a machine with a sign that read: YOUR HEIGHT, YOUR WEIGHT, YOUR FORTUNE $1.00 He stepped on the scale and dropped a dollar bill in the slot. Out came a card that said: "You are 5 feet 10 inches tall. You weigh 160 pounds, and you are waiting for the bus to Pasadena."
This guy said, "How did that machine know that? Well, I'll fool it." He went downstairs to the men's room, rolled up his coat collar, pulled down the brim of his hat, and put on a fake beard. He tiptoed back up the stairs, sneaked along the wall, spun around and jumped on the scale and quickly placed another dollar in the slot. Out came a card that read: "You are 5 feet 10 inches tall, you weigh 160 pounds, and while you were messing around down in the men's room, you missed the bus to Pasad Signs Seen on Church Bulletin Boards

A Texan wanted to go ice fishing. He'd seen many books on the subject, and finally, after getting all the necessary "tools" together, he made for the nearest frozen lake. After positioning his comfy footstool, he started to make a circular cut in the ice.
Suddenly from the sky a voice boomed, "THERE ARE NO FISH UNDER THE ICE!" Startled, the Texan moved further down the ice, poured a Thermos of cappuccino, began to cut yet another hole. Again, from the heavens, the voice bellowed, "THERE ARE NO FISH UNDER THE ICE!"
The Texan, now quite worried, moved way down to the opposite end of the ice, sat up his stool, and tried again to cut his hole. The voice came once more: "THERE ARE NO FISH UNDER THE ICE!"
He stopped, looked skyward, and said, " Is that you LORD?"
The voice replied, "No, I'm the IceArena Manager!"

Auburn Hills, Mich., Dec 23, 2004 -During the season when individuals are taking the time to remember those that mean the most to them, the Jeep® brand is launching an initiative to recognize everyday heroes. The "Jeep Heroes Nomination Program" rewards military, police, fire and emergency medical services (EMS) personnel who deliver exemplary, unique and heroic service to improve the quality of life in cities and towns across America.
The Jeep brand is seeking nominations online, beginning December 23, at www.jeep.com/nominate. Each month new Jeep Heroes will be recognized on the Web site and entered for a chance to win one of four new Jeep Grand Cherokees with "go-anywhere, do-anything" capability.
Twelve Jeep Heroes will be chosen in total, three in each category: military, police, fire and EMS. The four Grand Prize Winners, one from each of the Jeep Heroes categories, will be selected on November 10, prior to Veteran's Day 2005.
"There is a natural affinity between those who serve others and the Jeep brand. Both have a long record of accomplishment in times of need," said Chrysler Group's Jeff Bell, Vice President-Chrysler and Jeep. "It is an honor for us to recognize them for all they do, and we are proud to applaud their efforts."
An Advisory Committee--made up of military, police, fire and EMS association representatives, uniformed services advocates and former public officials --will review the nominations and select each Jeep Hero.
"The best way to recognize these 'everyday heroes' is to give the power to the people in their communities. They know best how important their contributions are to public safety," said Bell. "We hope that the 'Jeep Heroes Nomination Program' will bring to light a few of the many stories that typify the daily sacrifice and heroism of our military, police, fire and EMS personnel."
Jeep Hero nominators must be 18 years or older and licensed drivers. Nominees must be legal residents of the fifty United States and the District of Columbia, age 18 years or older, and must be current employees or volunteers of the police, fire or emergency medial service departments or active members of the U.S. Military.
Nominators will need to provide a 200 word or less essay on why a nominee deserves to be honored as Jeep Hero. Those who nominated one of the four Grand Prize Winners will receive $500 toward new Jeep brand merchandise.
Entry forms and complete rules on the "Jeep Heroes Nomination Program" are available at www.jeep.com/nominate.

NATO Common Funds Burdensharing: Background and Current Issues
Description: Member states of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) contribute to the activities of the alliance in several ways, the chief of which is through the deployment of their own armed forces, funded by their national budgets. Certain commonly conducted activities, however, are paid for out of three NATO-run budgets. These three accounts--the civil budget, the military budget, and the security investment program--are funded by individual contributions from the member states. This report discusses North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) burdensharing in funding such operations.

What is practice? The concept is working on something with the goal of making it better. You start with music that sounds bad, and you work on it until it sounds better. It could be just one small thing that sounds better, like now you can tongue it right, or now you can play it faster so it is at the right tempo. It doesn't matter what you improved on, it only matters that you got better at something. That is practice!
Playing the saxophone involves doing what you already know how to do. When you get your sax out of the case, you likely play a song you really like from an older piece of music that you learned really well. Sometimes playing the same thing, the same way, over and over again. This is not practicing. This would be better called performing, because when you have a performance, you are showing off how well you can play a piece of music.
"Practice makes perfect" is the most repeated statement regarding learning an instrument and could not be any further from the truth. Practice makes permanent. If you practice a line thirty times with a wrong note, you will increase the possibility of repeating that mistake by 100%. The more times you reinforce a mistake, the longer it takes to undo it and fix it. Practice makes permanent. Practice in and of itself, never makes perfect. But, learning how to practice well includes making it better, and should be the process toward getting the music nearly perfect.
Another old word picture for practice was "take it too the woodshed, or woodshed it!" In the old farmhouse days, the woodshed was away from the house, near the barn. The idea was, go and sound bad out there – bring it inside once it sounds better. The concept is true today, without the barn. No one wants to sound bad in public, so get alone with your sax and get it sounding better. That is smart practice. Work on the things that don't sound good in private and prepare them for public listening.
Some practice tips:
There are many things you need to do, at the same time, to perform a piece of music really well. The best way to approach this list is to practice thru the music, while focusing on each one of the following separately – the right notes, articulation, tempo, breathing, volume, and then phrasing, smooth fingering, body position and movement, vibrato and performance expression.
Too often, impatience comes to play and sax players attack a piece of music, attempting to do everything all at once and never really getting to the little things, like articulation or volume. If you want to play the music right, you will need to go over it a few times, looking at every marking, and you'll need to focus on each marking at some point. It is best to practice it right from the beginning.
Another important tip is to work on the hard parts first. Look over your music and jump right to the place you see the most black on the page. Your time will be best spent working out the hard parts. If the music is new to you, play thru it 1 time just to find the parts you can't play yet. You then slow the tempo down, and learn the note patterns.
Each time you play a wrong note it is simply because your fingers didn't know what was coming. Show your fingers the path, teach them what is coming next. Start slow and then try it faster. Too many young players jump way too fast here. Get the notes under your fingers, and then go a little faster until you get it to tempo.
Practice is tedious work that must be done so we can see improvement. Playing your instrument for fun is also important, but is more about having fun and enjoying the process. Have fun with your horn, but don't forget to take the time to get better too.

Hey, library youth staff! There's no need to be unhappy. You can go to the CYPD. Broadway Gal explains.
2013 CYPD Conference Promo Trailer
Here's the promo in the video's description:
"Can you find the misspelling in our video?
"Come to the Children's and Young People's Division of the Indiana Library Federation's 2013 Annual Conference! August 25-26, 2013 - www.ilfonline.org
"Produced by Suzanne Walker / Starring the CYPD Board and Suzanne's Legos with Sammy the Toucan.
"Video Committee:
- Karen Bower
- Lauren McPike
- Will Smither
- Staci Terrell
- Suzanne Walker
"CYPD 2013 - Leading the Charge"
What prize do I get for finding the typo, Broadway Gal? Just asking.
The CYPD conference is action-packed, fun-filled, and plenty informative for all you Hoosier youth librarians out there. It is definitely the to-be place this August. I'd go, but I'm just my Library's feline roving reporter, and, besides, Crafty Gal and Casey at the Bat could take along Aggie McPooch and Queenie.

Dear Congressman,
I want you to know that I support the Congress of the United States. I support each and every member of the House and Senate.
Because I support you and your colleagues, I will not speak against you or encourage anyone else to speak ill of you.
And, because I support you, I will not provide you or any member of Congress with any moral, material or financial resources you might need to do your job for the benefit of this or any other nation.
In fact, I support you so much that I want you to stop doing the job I voted for you to do.
Indeed, I support you so much that I want you to leave Washington as soon as possible and return home.
I support you so much that I will even bribe my friends and neighbors into demanding that you leave Washington. If that does not work, I will block their driveways and only unblock them if they support you the same way I do.
Yes, I support Congress, and Congress has shown me how it supports our troops.

This was an awesome dinner while relaxing on the couch watching the NBA playoffs last week. Enchilada sauce provides a lot of flavor and is a great way to change up nachos!
15 oz. can refried beans
8 oz. enchilada sauce (more or less as preferred)
1/2 onion, diced
Shredded dairy-free cheese
1/2 tsp. cumin
Tortilla chips
Additional toppings: tomatoes, lettuce/spinach, olives, corn, etc.
Preheat oven to 325.
Heat beans and cumin in a small saucepan over medium heat for a few minutes until softened.
Spread out tortilla chips on a large baking pan.
Add beans then enchilada sauce, reserving some sauce for drizzling before serving.
Sprinkle cheese and onions on top.
Bake 8-10 minutes.
Add additional toppings if desired, and drizzle more enchilada sauce on top.

As China continues to embark on evolutionary change, street artists also continue to express their desire for social change through their art. In these photos, a Beijing artist by the name of ROBBBB decided to design pieces that would encourage people to reflect, while giving life to old city walls. His paintings vary from more serious tones, such as the picture with the hand giving the middle finger that reads "handle with care" to more visually soothing ones, such as the ballerina portrait.
ROBBB's street art techniques are rather surreal and life-like, and they add beauty to the city of Beijing. He views his art as a way of reaching out and building a two way connection with others in the city. He elaborates on this concept on his site, stating that "when people are affected by and begin to think as a result of looking at one of my works… that's the start of an exchange… that's what gives meaning to my work."

As a rule, I don't go to '60s parties, read '60s books or play nostalgic board games; living through the decade at full throttle was difficult enough.
I tend to keep my memories of that period--which shaped my adult life--locked up in a trunk, along with other old loves. The music of the period still goes right through me, dragging me back to when I first heard it, so I try to stay away from that as well.
But when a friend now living in Venice invited me to an "appropriate attire requested" publishing party for her first fiction, called "Convictions" and subtitled "A Novel of the Sixties," out came the standard weekend wardrobe of jeans, work shirt and Birkenstocks. And the flashbacks.
The book being celebrated, set on the North Carolina campus where I ran wild in the streets for five years, had a lot to do with my reflective mood, evoking that manic period at the cusp of the decade when bombast gave way to bomb blast.

Am I depressed – or do I just have the blues?
We all have times when we feel down. It's normal to feel sad when a relationship ends, a good friend moves away or someone we care about dies. The stresses of a heavy study load, financial difficulties or unemployment also affect our mood. However, the gloomy feelings usually pass and we still experience happy times with friends or family.
Sometimes the sad feelings don't go away – we stop enjoying things that used to be fun. We might have difficulty keeping up with study or find it hard to even get out of bed in the morning. This could mean we have become depressed.
How will I know if I'm depressed?
If you've been feeling miserable more often than not over the past two weeks or more and you've stopped enjoying things that used to be fun, you might be depressed. Check the symptoms below – if you check off three or more it is likely you are experiencing a bout of depression.
- Finding it hard to get motivated and feel interested in things
- Wanting to avoid friends and everyday activities
- Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
- Losing interest in eating, or overeating
- Losing weight without dieting, or gaining weight
- Finding it difficult to get to sleep, waking during the night, or waking too early and not being able to get back to sleep. Alternatively, wanting to sleep all the time.
- Thinking about or planning suicide
- Having unpleasant, negative thoughts (like feeling guilty or that you are a bad or unworthy person)
- Getting pains in your body or headaches that don't seem to have any physical cause
How did I get depressed?
Sometimes stress builds up in our lives and overwhelms our ability to cope. You may have lost someone you love, experienced a breakup, failed a big test or just been too busy for too long. Ongoing stress like coping on a low income, facing rising debt or feeling lonely and isolated can lead to depression.
Sometimes people get depressed for no obvious reason; the heavy feelings just seem to come out of the blue. Many professionals believe that genetics plays a role since this sometimes happens when people come from families who seem more vulnerable to becoming depressed after relatively mild stress. No matter how you became depressed, the effects are debilitating and will affect your study if left untreated.
What if it's the blues?
It may still be useful for you to discuss your worries and low mood with one of the counselors. At the Student Counseling Center, we encourage you to come for assistance before little problems become big ones. This may prevent disruption of your studies.
Am I the only one who feels this way?
No. Depression is more common than most people think. In fact, it is about as common as asthma! One in seven people will experience a bout of depression at some stage in their lives.
OK, so I'm depressed – what now?
Depression can be treated. It is important to treat it like any other illness and seek help. Depression involves changes in brain chemistry and can influence the way we respond to our world. Options for dealing with depression include:
- Talking with a Counselor, who will:
- Provide an objective point of view and help you put things in perspective;
- Help you learn skills for solving problems, planning ahead and improving interactions with others;
- Help you see the positive side of yourself, others, and your circumstances; and
- Provide support and encouragement in your efforts.
- Seeing your doctor to discuss the possibility of using antidepressant medicine to correct the imbalance of chemicals in the brain.
Often counseling, together with lifestyle changes (e.g. reducing stress, cutting down on alcohol) is useful for helping depression. In some cases medication may be necessary to help resolve a severe or longstanding bout of depression.
If you think you are depressed, it is important for you to speak with one of the counselors at the Student Counseling Center. They can help you decide if your feelings are depression or "the blues" and offer suggestions for what might be helpful. If you are uncomfortable talking with one of the professionals on campus, they can still be helpful in referring you to an off-campus counselor or doctor.

Please note: Ideas for this section were borrowed from What is depression? – a pamphlet prepared by the National Health Committee.

I am delighted to be the Green's Mayoral Candidate for Liverpool. I am equally delighted to have the opportunity to see the local papers providing the community with information in relation to the upcoming election. Of interest however is, on reading the details of the six (incl myself) candidates one thing became most clear. Three of them have had 8 years to achieve the things they are promising to do now, two have shown very little interest in the runnings of council previously and only one believed the job of Mayor was about bringing people together.
Let's get some facts on the table:
The Mayor is not the sole decision maker in council, I'm thinking this came as a bit of a shock to the #powermadmayor once his power base was lost with the #nolibloveinlivo events of recent months.
Click here for the Leader article on Page three or
Cllr Hadchiti, is going to 'pull the budget apart and identify areas of improvement' Hey councillor you've had 8 years to do this, have you been sitting on your hands waiting for the opportunity to run for mayor, with the mess of this past budget you might have wanted to do this a bit earlier?
Cllr Harle wants 'transparency and financial responsibility' Again councillor you've been part of this council for 8 years what is it about being Mayor that will change your ability to question the budget? While you have asked questions and been party to some change what will being Mayor change, in your opinion?
Cllr Waller didn't make rash promises, she unfortunately has lived experience on what she cannot achieve as Mayor if the majority is intent on blocking every possible change until they assume office and claim those changes as their own. FYI Cllr Waller was Mayor for the first 4 years of this current,out of administration, 8 years and was quite hamstrung by a majority of Liberal/independent councillors who opposed much on what appeared political/ideological grounds more oft than not.
Ms Mishra and Mr Sims seem to be under the impression that the Mayor has special powers/abilities, they can just stop things like rates in their tracks, again this is not the case… the Mayor is the spokesperson/ designated representative (until the majority choose otherwise) he/she is the convenor of a meeting, he/she can add ideas, suggest items and everything else every other councillor can do, with one exception, IF there is a need for a deciding vote in a drawn vote, the Mayor has a casting vote…. rarely if ever actually declared, and used often by the #powermadmayor however available to break tied situations and allow a decision to be made.
There is no magic wand attached to the Mayoral role, as Cllr Waller could tell you I'm sure how frustrating and difficult it can be if the councillors elected by the public have a greater agenda than that of serving the people. So the question should be, who amongst the candidates has the goal or desire to bring together the mishmash of councillors the community see fit to elect? The community decides who they want to represent it and in Liverpool they also decide who will be the best front person for our city as well as the person who could possibly work with all to bring a cohesive council together. Don't get me wrong, it won't be easy but it's not a magic wand and simply promising to do this or that is tantamount to ludicracy. Populism isn't governance, it's about promising what you think your community wants to hear in order to get their vote. Four of the candidates on offer have been regularly involved in council matters, two have shown up at election time with what appears to be little to no knowledge of how a council works. While I am sure they will disagree, this is an important job. Moreover it's also an amazing opportunity to tell the NSW Govt that council amalgamations is not on our agenda. The Greens have opposed amalgamations at State and local level and electing a Green to the position of Mayor would be one almighty reminder to Mr Baird et al.
To give myself a little plug while I can, I also have a proven record of wanting transparency, did you know, on nearly every agenda there are confidential items and at times in this council 12 or more items have been 'in confidence" Rarely has there been a meeting where all items on the agenda have been open to the public, while I understand privacy issues, you also know that I believe when it involves our rates money we are entitled to the detail… regulations and statutory requirements have privacy as a core protection however, as I've stated previously if a shareholder can know the details why can't the residents?
I, if elected as Mayor or councillor will continue to write about it, I have a reasonable knowledge of what I can legally share and what I can't but I know that I will be privy to more facts as a councillor than I do now as a resident who sits in the gallery every month listening to the councillors. I do this now without the detail they have and with a desire to ensure our residents know exactly what is happening with their rates money.
Before you vote for your next Mayor, ask some questions, find out more, simply wanting the job is not enough, our city is too important, the financial status of our council is too unknown and the future impacts of much still to be made available to the community to impactful to just want the job. While the candidates for the most part seem like decent people, is that enough? A number of them have operated successful businesses, some are academics, some completely unknown to anyone outside their social circle, so investigate, I even invite them to write a response to my comments here and I will post them for you to read, as is.
Most of all, look at all the candidates you elect, not just the parties, Mr Sims is a registered Liberal (according to his nomination form), campaigning/presenting as an independent, Cllr Harle has been in council for 8 years see where his votes have gone, especially in the early days, Cllr Hadchiti has been on council 8 years as well, his allegiance to the outgoing #Powermadmayor has been solid. Me, well I've been writing about this for all of those years, just check back anywhere through here, you'll see I've always had an opinion, and I believe once elected the party you represent falls well behind the community who elected you albeit with those values.
more soon and again I invite other candidates to share their views, all opinions welcomed.

Stairs can make a room. That's something I've definitely discovered.
Also by having floating stairs you waste a lot less space. You can put desks, seating,
lighting or just keep it plain underneath. It helps make a space feel larger, which
is most peoples aim. My favourite materials for stairs is no doubt more industrial styles
(e.g. steel and rustic wood) i feel it gives more character to the room.
