CAIR is the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). It holds itself out as a civil rights group. Yesterday it held a panel discussion on "Islamophobia" at the National Press Conference. At the event, CAIR chairman Parvez Ahmed denounced the Bush administration as a fount of "Islamophobia." Audrey Hudson and Sara Carter report on Ahmed's comments in today's Washington Times.
By apearing on the panel with Ahmed, in my view, David Keene unfortunately dignified CAIR by treating it as the civil rights organization it pretends to be (even if he only appeared to express his disagreement with the theme of the event). For those with eyes to see, the mask has long since fallen from CAIR. Even such stalwart Democrats as Senators Dick Durbin and Charles Schumer have come to recognize CAIR's "association with groups that are suspect," its "ties to terrorism" and its "intimate links with Hamas." Most recently, Aaron Mannes elaborated on CAIR's Hamas connection in "CAIR and Hamas: Implications and an illustration."
In fact, in the words of Anti-CAIR, since its founding in 1994, CAIR, its employees and its officials have worked with third parties including the Islamic Association for Palestine, the Holy Land Foundation, and the Global Relief Foundation to provide material support to known terrorist organizations, to advance the Hamas agenda and to propagate radical Islam. See generally "CAIR: Islamists fooling the establishment" by Daniel Pipes and Sharon Chadha and "CAIR backs down from Anti-CAIR" by Daniel Pipes.
Is CAIR still fooling the establishment? For a while after 9/11, it certainly did so. The subsequent convictions of CAIR officials and employees for terror-related activities have made it increasingly difficult for CAIR to continue its charade with the same high level of success.
Nihad Awad is the executive director of CAIR (and a key friend of Keith Ellison). Meet Nihad Awad:

Today's Courier Herald Column:
As the 2013 General Assembly begins the heavy lifting portion of the session, we will begin to see bills that have been debated in public (and many that have only been concepts behind the scenes) begin to take their final form. One that has dominated much of the headlines, but has still yet to show in its likely final form, is that of ethics reform.
Both the House and Senate have made major reversals in public rhetoric with respect to both the need for reform and the substance they are willing to propose. A public referendum demanding reforms combined with the public rejection over the largest transportation initiative in a decade due to lack of trust can motivate politicians that way. The reaction from House and Senate leaders has been welcome and mostly constructive. The public, however, must remain engaged to ensure the final bill is one that is required to address the problems at hand.
In 2009, Georgia lost the Speaker of the House and cast the entire legislature under an ethical cloud when it became public that affairs between legislative leaders and lobbyists were commonplace. A 2010 ethics reform package focused instead on extending the reports that lobbyists must file with the state ethics commission while cutting that agency's funding. The responsibilities of legislators with respect to their relationships with lobbyists went unaddressed.
For the last two years, Senator and now former Rules Chairman Don Balfour has been a public exercise of how transparency – the buzz-word cure-all recommended by most legislators prior to this session – is in itself insufficient. It was transparent that the Rules Chairman billed excessive expenses to Georgia's taxpayers despite contradictory filings from lobbyists showing they were entertaining him out of state.
Getting action from fellow legislators in charge of self-policing his actions was a process that was less than direct, and required creativity of citizen activists to finally file ethics charges with the Senate to get the process started. Balfour eventually faced Senate censure and a fine with the matter referred to the GBI for further investigation. Their report continues to sit with Attorney General Sam Olens, awaiting action. The public continues to wait for accountability.
Meanwhile, despite evidence of a still-underfunded ethics commission which remains dependent on funding by the legislature it is supposed to regulate, the debate over ethics reform is currently centered on who should have to register as a lobbyists and how much these lobbyists will be allowed to shower government officials with gifts each day and year.
While it is important the debate is now public, we should fear we are again missing the point.
Adding more people to those who must register as lobbyists will not stop those who are currently abusing the system from doing so. Limiting the amount of money that can be spent on a public official does not make those unwilling to self-police within a broken system more willing or able to do so.
Instead, new Senate rules that limit gifts to members also specifically prohibit citizens from filing ethics complaints to the body. The door that was the catalyst to bringing official scrutiny of the actions of Senator Balfour has been closed under the first salvo of 2013's ethics reform. Georgian's cannot afford for additional reforms to take additional steps backward while putting superficial steps forward.
Ethics reform must be about the ability to hold those who break rules and laws accountable, with a clear and easily understood and enforced process to do so. It must also produce independence that does not exist under the current framework.
We are currently discussing gift caps and who must file forms. We are not discussing what penalties an elected official will face for breaking these rules, accepting gifts beyond whatever limits are prescribed, or accepting gifts that go unregistered. Currently, there are none. The sole liability for accepting an unreported gift goes to the lobbyists, not the official.
There is no current penalty for an official to accept an excessive gift because there are no limits. Those who have opposed limits have argued that it will just push transactions underground and undisclosed. It's easy to assume that would happen, because there is no penalty for those who accept them – and in some cases request or demand them – to change their behavior.
The penalties for unethical acts cannot remain one sided. Officials must stand to face clear and direct penalties if rules are broken. There must be a clear and direct method to report transgressions that is actionable by those who aren't under the control of those same officials.
Unless we can accomplish these goals, any bill currently proposed amounts to little more than a public relations exercise. Georgia missed the opportunity for real reform in 2010. Missing it again this year would be a tragic failure, and one that would only perpetuate the public's current deep and deserved mistrust of our government.

Lindsay Lohan set for "Mean Girls" sequel
Lindsay Lohan has convinced her 'Mean Girls' co-stars to start work on a sequel.
The 27-year-old actress starred in the 2004 teen comedy and she has reportedly convinced original writer Tina Fey and co-star Amanda Seyfried to reunite 10 years on after they took part in a photoshoot for US magazine People.
Meanwhile, insider told the UK's Sunday People newspaper: ''Lindsay spent most of her day joking around with her former castmates - including Amanda Seyfried and Tina.
''They all got on so well that they have managed to get Tina to write them a proper sequel.
''It would, of course, See Lindsay make a much-needed return to Hollywood and possibly launch a full-scale movie comeback. This is great news for her.''
The star - who is currently starring in the West End play 'Speed-the-Plow' - recently admitted she would love to star in a British movie when the production comes to an end in November.
She said: ''''I would love to do a British movie when I'm finished on the stage.
''I'm really settled here in London, so it would be great. Depending on the script, I'm open to all possibilities.''

Bank Lending to Small Business: Are They or Aren't They?
Are banks lending to small businesses? The latest signs point to more lending. But just how much more? It depends who you ask.
The Small Business Administration is reporting an uptick in lending, as government guarantees spur more activity in the secondary market, enabling banks to unload the loans. As my colleague Raymund Flandez reported, the volume of new SBA-backed loans has risen more than 20% since mid-March, with more than $1.3 billion in new loans approved, according to Karen Gordon Mills, the new SBA administrator.
The latest Federal Reserve lending survey isn't quite as rosy – though it's still encouraging. When the Fed surveyed loan officers in April, a smaller number of bankers said they were tightening their lending standards compared with a few months earlier. For the first time since January 2008, the proportion of banks reporting tighter standards fell below the 50% mark.
It's still tough out there, though. When you drill down to small-business lending, nearly 43% of banks said in the past three months, they toughened up on businesses with less than $50 million in annual sales. That's the 10th straight quarter of tightening for small businesses, but it's down significantly from the January survey, when 69% of banks reported tougher standards.
Many small businesses still don't have the cash flow and collateral required to snag a bank loan in this environment. According to the Fed's data, more than two-thirds of banks said loan demand from small businesses was "moderately" or "substantially" weaker in the three months ending in April.
Readers, have you tried to secure new funding recently? Any success stories – or horror stories?

So summer is officially here, it's H.O.T. and the fourth of July is next weekend. What does that mean? It's time to whip up some sand pudding! This recipe has been one of the most popular on my blog to date! Rightly so, it's delicious, easy and fun and not to mention that you don't have to use an oven. Which is a total WIN for the summer.
I don't know why I never thought of this before, but I made a YouTube tutorial for sand pudding! I usually share makeup, beauty and hair stuff, but I thought it would be fun to branch out a little and because this recipe is so popular, I thought it would be a good place to start!
3 or 4 Oreos
8 oz Cream Cheese
1/4 C Butter
2/3 C powdered sugar
2 small pkgs French Vanilla pudding mix
2 3/4 C Milk
12 oz Cool Whip
Crush Oreos and Vanilla Wafers in a food processor. In a separate bowl, cream together softened 8 oz cream cheese, butter, and powdered sugar. In a different bowl, mix the instant pudding with the milk. Add the pudding mixture to the cream cheese mixture. Gently fold in the cool whip. Layer into buckets starting with pudding, sand, pudding etc. ending with a layer of sand. Finish off with a cute shovel for a serving spoon!
You can double the recipe if you have two buckets or a large one like in this video (although I didn't double it here, I could have). If you want to make it ahead of time, make the sand and the pudding portions separately and then assemble the day of the event. If you assemble too early the pudding with make the sand mushy.
We bought a sand bucket specifically for this recipe and have never used it outside. It's a fun family favorite!
I hope you get a chance to make this sand pudding this summer and bring it to a fun event! I promise it will be a big hit!

Sanjiv Ahuja, the telecoms expert and former chief executive of Orange, has taken a major stake in Manganese Bronze, the troubled company which makes London's black cabs.
Mr Ahuja and his wife have bought 4.4pc of Manganese shares according to a stock exchange announcement, making them the eighth largest investor. He was chief executive at Orange between 2004 and 2007, and is the founder and chairman of Augere, which specialises in delivering broadband in emerging markets.
His stakebuilding comes as Hermes has been offloading shares in the company in recent days, reducing its stake from almost 16pc earlier in the year to 8.3pc yesterday.
Earlier this month Manganese saw a third of its value wiped out after discovering errors in its accounts that mean it will have to restate financial results.
The company blamed a "combination of system and procedural errors" during the introduction of a new IT system in August 2010.
The errors mean at least £3.9m will have to be cut from Manganese's profits over the last few years, and the company delayed its first-half results until late September. At the time of the disclosure Manganese said Geely, the Chinese car maker with a 20pc stake, remained supportive.
The scale of the potential loss is significant given Manganese reported a pre-tax loss of £2.6m in 2011 and £6.3m in 2010.
Shares were unchanged yesterday at 12.38p. The company declined to comment on the move by Mr Ahuja, who was unavailable to comment.

Born 1945, in Saint John, NB, she was the daughter of the late Ronald and Florence (Cameron) Lyttle.
I already had her linked to her parents Ronald Reginald Lyttle and Florence Elmina Cameron through the obituary of her brother Kevin who died in 2002. Now I had her birth year. Only one problem ... her father would have been 15 years old at the time of her birth. This raised a really big red flag. Now there are a couple of possible explanations (there may be more but these are the ones that immediately came to mind).
- The information about her year of birth was incorrect.
- The age of her father at the time of his marriage to Florence was incorrect in the civil registration.
- Diane isn't the biological daughter of Ronald Lyttle.
- Ronald was actually under the age of majority when Diane was conceived.
I knew that Florence had divorced her first husband since that fact was recorded in the New Brunswick registration of the 15 Dec 1949 marriage between Ronald Reginald Lyttle and Florence Elmina (Cameron) Nickerson. I hadn't looked for Florence's first marriage but that became my first task. It was an easy find since the Provincial Archives of New Brunswick (PANB) has digitized and placed online, with a searchable index, the birth (1810-1917), marriage (1847-1963) and death (1815-1963) records of that province. There I found the registration for the 28 Mar 1942 marriage between George Robert Nickerson and Florence Elmina Cameron. The facts in this marriage concerning Florence lined up with the facts stated in her 1949 marriage to Ronald Lyttle.
Next was a shot in the dark ... had Diane married on or before 1963 in New Brunswick? I got lucky this time. The first search using Lyttle as the surname resulted in no matches but when I used Nickerson Diane's 13 Apr 1963 marriage to George Ray Sharpe was listed. Looking at the image it was plain to see that she listed her parents as George Robert Nickerson and Florence Elmina Cameron. She also signed the registration as Miss Diane Nickerson. Diane's age when married was 18 years and that means she was born about 1945. So that matches her obituary. However, we now have evidence that her father, at least in a biological sense, wasn't Robert Reginald Lyttle but George Robert Nickerson. In a perfect world we would also need to have Diane's birth registration document where hopefully it would list her father as George Robert Nickerson. But that record is presently restricted under the privacy laws. For now, at least in my tree, her father will be listed as George Robert Nickerson. My quandary has been resolved.
Tip for the day: As valuable as obituaries are, like any other record, you need to be able to back up the assertions made with other evidence.

Daryl Hannah opens up about autism diagnosis, fear of the spotlight
Wonderwall EditorsDuring the 1980s and beyond, Daryl Hannah was a staple of the silver screen, starring in hits like "Splash," "Blade Runner," "Wall Street" and "Steel Magnolias." As she recently admitted to People, however, her fame presented a bigger challenge than the public realized.RELATED: Celeb protestersDiagnosed with autism as a child, Hannah, now 52, hid her disorder for fear of not being hired, despite having battled "debilitating shyness" throughout her life."I've never been comfortable being the center of attention. It's always freaked me out," the actress says (via the Daily Mail)."I'm a grown up now," she explained. "I've learned a couple of things that really would've made my life easier if I'd known them 20 years ago."RELATED: Jonathan Taylor Thomas and more stars of the '90s: Where are they now?As a girl, Hannah says she handled her discomfort by rocking back and forth. Now, she's found healthier outlets for her fears and frustrations, like risking her own freedom in the name of causes like mountaintop removal, farmers' rights and opposition to the TransCanada Keystone XL pipeline."I wasted so much time scared, self-conscious and insecure," she says of her past."Life is too short to stress the small things anymore."Hannah, who has been arrested a handful of times for her protest efforts, now lives on a farm with her boyfriend of three years and rescue pig named Molly.As she told the Telegraph back in 2007, "getting older has brought me peace of mind."Click on to see more photos from throughout Hannah's iconic career ...© Microsoft

when you're a developer from around Belgium you might have heard about our user group AZUG. Well, we also have our own Facebook page so be sure to check that one out. Also be sure to follow our Twitter account. See you there at one of our next gatherings! Actually, that's going to be on the 16th of April.
Grz, Kris.
On Monday we already had the pleasure of having Brady over for a nerd dinner in Mechelen and yesterday Brady delivered a great presentation about Windows Azure Web Sites. The talk was mainly about the architecture behind the screens, deployment and pricing. Brady was warned up front that a Belgian audience is usually very quiet, extremely attentive but lacks interaction. Well, not so at AZUG! We were indeed all very attentive but definitely not quiet and without interaction. Quite some laughs / jokes flew back and forth and both the audience and Brady had a great time during the evening.
We also had a lot of new faces coming to our latest AZUG event and that's just awesome as that's why were hosting these sessions for: you, the community. The AZUG crew hopes to see you again soon at one of our next events: http://www.azug.be/events.
Brady in full action:
If you want to know more about Windows Azure Web Sites be sure to check out these resources:
Last Monday I went to see the Microsoft Dublin datacenter together with the the azug posse and the two winners of our Windows Azure Saturday. We all signed an NDA so we're not allowed to talk of what we saw but I can tell you this: if you have the chance someday to visit it yourself and you're interested in technical stuff, simply go. It's cool to see and you get a good guidance by a Microsoft representative who's knowledgeable and friendly. Besides that, it's in Dublin and they have some very nice restaurants over there.
A picture that I took from http://www.globalfoundationservices.com/ which was publicly available and shows the datacenter entrance:
The day before we landed in Dublin and one of the gang already knew a great steak restaurant so we enjoyed a great evening among friends.
It's becoming one of those yearly traditions in Belgium: rainy weather, great beers, … and since the last years also the yearly Community Day. This year there will be 40 sessions in total with 6 tracks! I'll be there as well and hope to see a lot of community people. Azug, the user group of which I'm a board member will also be doing several sessions.
Well organized and in a great location last Thursday the fifth edition of Community day was held. I gave a presentation myself about giving applications a second life in the cloud. It was a lot of fun to do so and I already got some great feedback from people in the audience. For the people who couldn't make it, here are my slides:
If you're interested in getting me over for your community to talk about ASP.NET (MVC), Razor, WebMatrix, jQuery, Azure, … just drop me a note or follow me on twitter: @KvdM.
Since several months now I'm one of the board members of Azug, the Belgian Windows Azure User Group. Feweb, the Belgian organisation for web developers/designers, loved to put several Belgian user groups in the spotlight and asked them to give a short presentation about their workings, their common intrest, … Since I enjoy giving presentations I signed myself up and gave the following slidedeck:
If you're from Belgium, or passing by in our lovely country, and we have a meeting planned then simply sign up and come over. We like you to be there!

text: Previous Post Next Post CaroMont Health Board of Directors Offers Proposal to Amend Lease Agreement with Gaston County 05-20-2014 On Monday evening, during a scheduled meeting of the Board of Directors of CaroMont Health, members of the Board unanimously voted to offer a proposal to amend the lease agreement with Gaston County. This proposed amendment defines financial contributions that CaroMont Health will make to Gaston County to continue to lease the building and land that houses CaroMont Regional Medical Center. Sheila S. Reilly, Ph.D., Chair of the CaroMont Health Board of Directors, submitted the official offer to Tracy Philbeck, Chairman of the Gaston County Board of Commissioners, early Tuesday morning. The proposed amendment includes a significant increase in yearly financial contributions to the County, as well as other commitments that support health services and economic development initiatives in Gaston County. "The Board of Directors at CaroMont Health has developed an offer that we think is fair and will benefit the citizens of Gaston County," said Reilly. "This agreement will strengthen the financial state of the County and also ensure that we can finally feel confident that CaroMont Health is in a position to retain its long-term stability as an independent health system." The proposed amendment: CaroMont Health will make the following payments and provide the following benefits to Gaston County: - CaroMont Health will purchase $20 million of corporate bonds with a 4% coupon rate for the benefit of Gaston County, which will provide approximately $800,000 in interest payments per year. - Over the next decade, CaroMont Health agrees to make $200 million in campus-based capital investments and will use its best efforts and reasonable business judgment to ensure that local contractors and construction workers are preferred for associated jobs. - CaroMont Health will contribute $450,000 per year for community health promotion and investment in the development of active lifestyle options in Gaston County. Such payments will be directed by the Board of Commissioners, provided that CaroMont Health's current support of multiple community health projects are recognized. Gaston County agrees to the following revisions of the terms and conditions of the current lease agreement: - The term of the agreement will be 40 years, with an option to renew for one additional term of 40 years. - The CaroMont Health Board of Directors and the Gaston County Board of Commissioners will share governance and appointments to the CaroMont Board. - The right to make business decisions on financing and joint venture arrangements will be transferred to the CaroMont Health Board of Directors. What this means for CaroMont Health and Gaston County: "This agreement creates a solid foundation for growth and development at CaroMont Health," said Doug Luckett, President and CEO of CaroMont Health. "Our goal has always been to be a provider of high-quality health care, while contributing to our community. The financial contributions from this agreement will help support education, spur economic development in the County and fund needed health services, among other projects and functions. We see this as an investment in the future of Gaston County and its citizens." The intent of the offer is to end more than a decade of ongoing discussion and negotiation between the Commission and CaroMont Health, something that both sides have been eager to do for quite some time. "Our relationship with the Commission continues to be very positive, and that is a testament to the work being done on both sides to build trust and strong relationships," said Luckett. "I've spoken a lot recently about the importance of remaining independent to keep health care services and jobs in our community. We look forward to putting a long-term agreement in place so that we can have the surety to invest in the property and build a better platform for advanced health care offerings in Gaston County." Despite the ongoing lease negotiations, CaroMont Health has continued to invest in the property at CaroMont Regional Medical Center. Soon, the system will break ground for an extensive expansion of the Emergency Department at CaroMont Regional. This project will allow better accommodation of the high patient volume seen in the Emergency Department. "This is a positive step for CaroMont Health and Gaston County," said Luckett. "The strength of our partnership will ensure that our citizens, their children and their grandchildren will continue to have convenient access to outstanding medical care in Gaston County for many years to come."

Melbourne Declaration on Physician-Assisted Dying, Adopted by the 11th International Conference of the World Federation of Right to Die Societies (Melbourne, 15-18 October 1996)
The following Declaration was distributed as a media release on 18 October 1996 by the Voluntary Euthanasia Society of Victoria on behalf of the World Federation of Right to Die Societies:
We are doctors attending the 11th International Conference of the World Federation of Right to Die Societies being held in Melbourne (15 to 18 October, 1996).
We believe physicians have a major responsibility for ensuring that it becomes legally possible for all competent adults, suffering severe and enduring distress from terminal illnesses, to receive medical help to die if this is their persistent, voluntary and rational request. We note that such medical assistance is already permitted in Australia's Northern Territory, the Netherlands and Switzerland.
As physicians, we are familiar with the different scenarios which occur at the end of life. We have the means to help those who may suffer severely from terminal illnesses. We know that, if we should find ourselves in such situations, we have the knowledge, and the access to drugs, to achieve self-deliverance, and we wish to extend this privilege to our patients.
In the past four or five years, an increasing number of doctors in different countries have stated, publicly and courageously, that they have actively helped their terminally-ill patients to die, even when it was illegal. Now, more of us must state our support for physician-assisted dying, and become committed to such humane medical care.
Of course, no patient should consider the possibility of physician-assisted dying until other relevant options, offered by palliative medicine, have been fully explored. Indeed, palliative care will be more effective if patients are reassured they can have the option of physician-assisted dying.
Therefore, we support the right of competent, terminally-ill, adult patients, who are suffering severely, to seek our assistance, if this should be their repeated wish. We want to be able to respond compassionately without the risk of legal prosecution.
We are convinced that suitable guidelines to protect all patients can be developed. When physician-assisted dying is legalised, it will be possible for doctors, who regard this procedure as being morally proper, to perform it openly and responsibly.
We know that physicians around the world share our views and we ask them to make similar declarations in support of their terminally-ill adult patients.

Conscious Eating
Physical balance is inevitably tied to our diets and diet cannot be fully addressed without considering our eating habits. Usually we take for granted the act of eating, and unconscious eating is done hastily and without any awareness of the process of digestion - the conversion and assimilation of nutrients. So, it is worthwhile to bring awareness to this critical area of our daily lives.
Food Choices: The choices we make will determine the balance or imbalance we experience. Making a conscious choice to create balance is the first step in actualizing balance and the resultant holistic awareness. Let us assume we have made a conscious choice in the foods we eat. Why would we want to shoot ourselves in the foot by eating unconsciously and creating imbalance by overloading our systems with "unprepared" food as it enters the digestive system? This does not make any sense.

This is a map of estimated durable housing in the world. A durable dwelling is a structure that has been designed to last for many years. To live in a structure that is not durable suggests increased levels of insecurity for the inhabitants. Their home will be more likely to be damaged by inclement weather conditions, their legal right to live there may not be well established, and the housing itself likely to lack the facilities of a more permanent structure.
Most people in most regions have access to durable dwellings. However, in Southeastern Africa only 29% of the population live in permanent structures. In Chad not even 3% of people have such housing security.
" Then Ill huff and Ill puff and Ill blow your house in, said the wolf. So he huffed and he puffed and he huffed and he puffed. But the house of bricks did not fall down." Traditional Fairy Tale, date unknown
Territory size shows the proportion of worldwide population that lives in permanent structures living there.

We're not seeing what we want to see in sports these days: great matchups.
We see plenty of individual achievement, but it's not against the right folks. What we crave - local boosterism notwithstanding - are marquee matchups in marquee events.
The just concluded US Open tennis tournament is a perfect canvas on which to paint this picture. On the men's side, we wanted to see Andre Agassi play Pete Sampras in the finals. They are the best two players. They have played each other in four Grand Slam event finals with Sampras winning three times, including recently at Wimbledon.
But Agassi has been turning it up this year, playing not a whit like the heretofore irascible and inconsistent Agassi. Agassi and Sampras are the turn of the millennium answer to those earlier epic contests involving Borg, Connors, and McEnroe. We're ready.
Alas, we got Agassi vs. Todd Martin. Phooey. Agassi won in five sets. Martin is a perfectly fine player with nice deportment, a rarity in a temperamental game. But he's not Sampras.
There had been suspicion since Wimbledon that Sampras wouldn't play because of a lingering back injury, and he didn't. Then two-time defending champ Patrick Rafter dropped out, also because of injury. That doomed the tournament to yawns. Suddenly, advancing were Pioline, Kafelnikov, Escude, Krajicek. Who are these guys?
The women were even more disappointing. We wanted to see the Williams sister act, Venus (third-ranked in the world) vs. Serena (fourth-ranked). Venus is slightly older and arrived on the elite scene several years ago with attitude aplenty and an undisciplined but potentially brilliant game. Meanwhile, Serena - she of generally sunnier disposition - has been laboring in the shadows, content to be The Other Williams.
It was all setting up perfectly until Venus got herself returned to earth by Martina Hingis in the semis, leaving us with a Serena vs. Martina final. Nuts. Potentially starry television ratings flamed out.
In yesteryear, Evert and Navratilova staged terrific matches that many thought never would be surpassed in drama. But as Serena erupts at the top level, hopes soar that the Williams sisters might become the dueling divas of this era. They still might, but not this time. Or probably not.
After Serena won, she said, "Wow." We, however, felt wowless. Serena vs. Venus, however, definitely would be a world wow.
In the NBA, what we want is to see the New York Knicks vs. the Los Angeles Lakers - uptight and stodgy New York vs. laid back and cool L.A. It's a clash of cultures.
Last season we got New York and San Antonio and a ho-hum final won easily by the Spurs. Maybe this year we'll get what we want. Or probably not.
In golf, things have been particularly unsatisfactory. Raise your hand if you were hoping Paul Lawrie would win the British Open over Jean Van de Velde or that Jose Maria Olazabal would win the Masters. Thought so.
Now, raise your hand if you would have greatly enjoyed a battle between, say, Tiger Woods and Greg Norman - the young warrior vs. the old warrior. Thought so.
In the Super Bowl last January, we wanted to see Denver and John Elway play Minnesota and Randall Cunningham, two aging but very good quarterbacks directing teams with young talent overloads. Instead, Atlanta upset the Vikes and there ensued a kind of dull-brown title game between Denver and Atlanta. Now, Elway is retired and the moment has passed.
But hope for matchups we thirst for does spring you know what. The World Series is the next major event on the sports calendar, and what we'd love to see is the Red Sox vs. the Cubs in a longtime-losers- seek-redemption Series. This will occur in our dreams but not in our lifetimes.
So what we reasonably hope for is the Yankees vs. the Mets. Ah yes, New York vs. New York. Bring on the proud and arrogant Yankees vs. the hardscrabble and blue-collar Mets. Please, let it be.
It probably won't be. It'll likely be something like Cleveland vs. Atlanta. That's one that will put our heads in our hands and our hopes for cool matchups back in cold storage. Again.

Newcastle United's Gael Bigirimana is open to joining loan side Coventry City permanently.
Newcastle United midfielder Gael Bigirimana says his future on Tyneside is looking bleak and admits a permanent switch back to Coventry City appeals to him, the Coventry Telegraph report.
The 22-year-old midfielder joined Newcastle from Coventry in the summer of 2012 but a lack of first-team opportunities has seen him return to the Ricoh Arena on loan until January.
With competition for places at Newcastle fierce, Bigirimana is likely to struggle to make any headway in the North East and, considering his age, he must start looking at the bigger picture.
Speaking to the Coventry Telegraph, the youngster says his chances of staying with Newcastle are now slim and the thought of a permanent switch to Coventry is definitely appealing.
"At the moment the chances [of staying at Newcastle] seem less because it's going to be three seasons now that I haven't played even two games in a row for the first team," Bigirimana added.
"But in football you never know. It all depends on the two clubs, whether the guys at Newcastle think they have me in their plan. It's up to Coventry to convince them how much they want me to stay here."
"I would love to build my career up again in the place I call home."
The former England U20 international has only ever made 13 Premier League appearances for Newcastle, with his last game coming in March 2013.
Predominantly a defensive midfielder, Bigirimana is good in the tackle and calm in possession. He would make a good addition for a Championship side, let alone a return to League One.
Newcastle, under boss Steve McClaren, are looking at featuring younger players and watching them reach their potential on Tyneside, yet simply not all will be afforded the opportunity to play.

Which Chapters of Elisp Manual to Read?
if you are learning emacs lisp, you might be wondering "Which Chapters of the Elisp Manual to Read first?". Here's my recommendations.
- Point
- Excursions
- Narrowing
- Buffer Contents
- Insertion
- Deletion
- Searching and Matching (all sections)
- Files (most subsections)
- Buffers (first 4 sections)
the above would get you started in text processing oriented things, such as writing your own command to refactor code. Then, you can move on to writing major or minor modes that do diverse things.
this is assuming that you already know the basics of lisp, such as loop, lists, variables. Else, you have to scan the first 10 chapters of the elisp manual, which is some 500 pages.
or, you can try reading my tutorial Emacs Lisp Tutorial. Read the first section on elisp basics, about 10 pages. That's pretty much the condensed version of all the elisp chapters mentioned above.
thanks to Juan Alberto Sanchez for asking this at g+ post
Or Buy Xah Emacs Tutorial
Or buy a nice keyboard: Best Keyboard for Emacs

Early in my teenage years (probably, I was about fourteen or fifteen), my older brother took me to a Thai restaurant for lunch. For the first time ever, I ate coconut curry soup, fried lemongrass tofu, and red Panang curry. It was the most delicious food that I had ever tasted. What shocked me was not just how good the food was (and it was incredible) but how food like that could exist in a world of McDonalds, cheese whiz, and the Slurpee.
Most food is boring: simple, unassuming, mundane, comfortable, trite. Here was food that was novel: complex, bold, nuanced, intricate, fascinating. Most food is a delivery mechanism for carbohydrates, fats, and protein, wrapped in a neon package. Here was food that was unapologetic art. To eat food like that for the first time is to live in a world of mud huts and then one day stumble across the Sears tower.
I may not have realized it at the time, but that lunch was a turning point. I doubt that a meal can bring a person away from complacency and toward a life of adventure and meaning. But a new reference point can shift, sometimes seismically, a mental picture of what's possible.
Sometimes—probably not often enough—I remember that lunch and remember what it's like to experience something fresh and exceptional. This memory shapes my beliefs.
I believe that there are thousands upon thousands of people, places, and things that I've never met, never seen, or never heard of, all of which would amuse me, captivate me, or improve me.
I believe that the costs of having new experiences are often exaggerated and the benefits are often overlooked.
I believe that if I don't consciously and actively seek new experiences, then I will become a zombie who lives in reaction mode.
I believe that there are more worthy obsessions than there are minutes in a day.
I believe that the human mind is devious and inexhaustible in its ability to invent excuses, rationalizations, and lies about why its better to stick with what's comfortable.
I believe that in some literal sense, life is an inexplicable gift. To fill a life with the comfortable and the mundane is to waste the gift. To waste the gift is sacrilege.
I believe that there's an enormous world outside my head; it contains novelty and wonder to fill a thousand lifetimes.

Raspberry and Cashew Breakfast Bites (Gluten-Free)
To call these little bits of goodness "Breakfast Bites" is truly rather limiting.

First of all, how many women approaching forty have you ever heard say they enjoy having birthdays. I know I am an exception to the norm but I usually am in most things, so just include this as well. In exactly 2 months I will be 39 years old, and it's not going to be traumatic.
Each year I get older, I notice so much positive change in me. First of all I notice how wiser I have gotten on so many levels, especially dealing with circumstances out of my control and patience with people. I think we can all agree that we are not the same person we were when we were 20 and so grateful for that.
"Do not regret getting older. It's a privilege denied to many." – unknown
I strongly believe that you get to a point in your life where you better be happy with whom you are or frankly you will never be happy. I like to sit back and think of where I am each birthday and am grateful for all the undeserved favor that God continues to pour into my life.
Now, when I face adversity I always try and make sure I learn something from it and grow spiritually from it. For example, 10 weeks ago on Memorial Day Weekend I pulled a groin muscle playing basketball with my husband. I never imagined it would take over 10 weeks to heal. Just these pass 2 days I really had a breakthrough with the pain and can finally see the days of me limping every time I walk coming to an end. But, if I hadn't pressed through other tough times in life I would have been an anxious, impatient wreck the last 10 weeks. Instead, I have become more focused, positive, and encouraging to others. Only difficult circumstances could have taught me this.
Through this trial I have learned to pray for others even though I needed a miracle. Getting up in the morning and praying for other people's needs, I am convinced is what let me stay so peaceful these last few weeks. I remembered the scripture in James 56:10 that states, "So then, confess your sins to one another and PRAY for one another, so that you will be healed. The prayer of a good person has a powerful impact." God made sure I was aware of someone else's need each day.
So when I turn 39 in September I will be thinking back on this last year of my life, grateful for every difficulty, victory, breakthrough, milestone, and new season that God allowed me to experience. Because without it I wouldn't be who I am today, a truly content and appreciative human being.

An early morning chill pricked at Matthew's lean muscular frame, as he stood contemplating the task that stretched before him. A task, difficult in the extreme, and he shivered again as the realisation that he might soon be dead, began to gnaw at his forebrain like a dog persistently worrying a bone.
He felt slightly ill, as a whiff of porpoise oil rose to assault his nostrils, but as the morning light started its slow incremental climb to full intensity, he tried to ignore the butterflies in his stomach which had turned into cormorants diving headlong into the sea of his intestines. He knew he must be going, but he had an irrational twinge of near hysteria and the sudden urge to turn and charge up the beach to the safety of the tiny cubicle.
He shivered yet again, but padded forward across the shingle and slipped into the cold unwelcoming sea. Slightly ahead of him, he could hear the slap of the oars of the two man rowing boat as the first onrushing waves lifted its bow from the water, returning it just as suddenly to the following trough.
He concentrated on pressing on through the waves, determined to break through to the calmer and deeper water beyond, succeeding suddenly with a little start of surprise as his head and vision suddenly cleared.
The light was slightly brighter now, and the sounds of gulls wheeling overhead mingled with the crisp salt spray as the light wind lifted little petulant droplets from the tips of the waves callously tossing them skywards. Matthew focused, his arms and legs assuming a mechanical motion almost of their own accord as he gradually slipped forwards trailing the lonely rowboat moving slowly across the miles of desolate water stretching to the horizon.
Time blurred, and his thoughts turned to firstly to his eleven brothers and sisters and then to his father, a doctor, a man of great respect in his home town of Coalbrookdale. His father and mother though supportive of their son, had never really accepted or understood the driving ambition that drove their equally respected son, a Captain in the Merchant Navy and of the modern steamship 'Emerald' to such desperate lengths. His constant compulsion to try something new, to excel, unbeknown to him, caused his dear mother many a night crying herself to sleep in the arms of her husband, and his father many a lonely night of contemplation.
The wind had picked up now, and the sky turned darker and angrier. The little boat in front began to disappear and reappear as the sea commenced to heave and buck. Somehow the sea seemed colder too, and Matthew felt the first pangs of fatigue nip at his limbs as he began to struggle to keep pace with the little rowboat.
His thoughts turned to what started him on this life of adventure, and to the time whilst serving as a second mate on the Cunard ship 'Russia' travelling the Atlantic between New York and Liverpool. A man had fallen overboard, and he had dived into the sea in Mid-Atlantic in a valiant but failed attempt at rescue.
The man was never found, but Matthew suddenly found himself at the centre of the British Press with an award of £100 pounds, the Stanhope Gold Medal, and a notoriety, which frankly he suddenly seemed not to be able to get enough of.
He was still grinning when the slap of a particularly large wave brought him back to reality. The sea was becoming really angry now. The sky had darkened over and the wind had begun to howl like a demented demon. Ahead the little rowboat had seen the danger and it had fallen back towards him. In the lowering visibility Matthew could see the larger backup boat had now joined them, and that could only mean one thing, an abandonment of the record attempt due to the increasing strong winds and poor sea conditions.
Reluctantly he pulled himself up into the rowboat as it drew alongside him, and slowly and despondently the little rowboat headed towards its larger companion and to safety. He had failed.
Two sharp stings rocketed Matthew's thoughts firmly back to the present. Today was the 24th August and the events of twelve days ago were still engraved into his brain.
Unfortunately, today was much better weather and he wasn't tiring just as quickly, but in his daydreaming he had drifted into a shoal of jellyfish, and worse although he could see the shore, strong currents were preventing him from approaching Cap Griz-Nez. If he didn't begin to make some progress soon, he might be forced into another abandonment, and, it was beginning to get dark.
He gritted his teeth, pausing a moment to take stock. The three chase boats with him on this attempt were also struggling with the current and were being pushed towards Calais. Resigned now not to quit, Matthew turned and focused his attention on Calais, trying to ignore the numerous stings that were accumulating over his chest and limbs, each sting reinforcing his iron determination to succeed where before there had been only thoughts of failure.
Five hours later, and after a gruelling 21 hours and 45 minutes in the water, and in darkness, Matthew Webb staggered out of the water near Calais, the first person to swim the English Channel on the 25th August in the year of our Lord 1875.
Nothing great is easy, and Captain Matthew Webb had dared to fail.
This is a fictional account written from researched facts and I have taken liberties with the telling of the story. This is an original work. I hope you enjoyed it.

posted by Amy on Apr 12
I belong to a support group for women with advanced cancer that meets every other Monday at the hospital where I'm treated. The group is facilitated by a wise, witty, funny, caring woman named Hester Hill. Hester's office is in the same suite as the hematology/oncology suite, so it's convenient for patients, but anyone can come to the sessions whether they get their treatment there or not. There is no charge for attending the group.
Cancer is clever. It begins with mutations and it keeps on mutating. Once they metastasize, most cancers eventually outsmart all available treatments. For some cancers there can be a fairly long interval between diagnosis and the day the cancer ultimately has the last word in the story. I know a few people with stage 4 breast cancer who are still alive ten or more years after they were diagnosed. But people with lung cancer usually only last a year or two with treatment.
Obviously, the one thing a group of advanced cancer patients has in common is we're all going to die from our disease. Two of our members who had lung cancer both died recently. One was Jewish, and died the morning of the first day of Passover. One was Christian and died in her husband's arms on Easter. Neither of them had been coming to group recently, but once a member always a member. These losses were not unexpected, but they are still indescribably painful. Why would I, or anyone facing her own grim cancer diagnosis, willingly make friends with other people who are going to die? Doesn't that just make living with cancer all the more difficult?
It's difficult anyway. It would be worse if I tried to do it alone. I have gotten support, encouragement, sympathy, useful information, and joy (yes, joy!) from the group. I have also been able to love and serve others. I have gone from being a scared, stunned newcomer to being one of the role models. A few years ago several of us wrote entries for a "book of writings" that was published in connection with an annual event. Writing my own essays, and reading what others wrote, were profoundly moving and illuminating. Especially in our culture, which seems to be based on avoiding death at all costs, it's healing to find companions who are willing to help each other face the truth and keep dancing with it. It really is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved. It's better to realize that not only is there no time like the present, there really is no time BUT the present. Here, now, I'm alive. I can think, feel, pray, learn, knit, read, and write. The things I create–what I write and what I craft–are my legacy.
Hester writes a daily(!) blog. Last Monday she wrote about our latest losses, and about our group. She says, in part, "I feel especially tender about my relationships with women who attend my group for women with advanced cancer. It is remarkable to watch them care for each other and teach how to live in the looming presence of death." Her post about losing these two women is wise, wonderful and illuminating. You can read it here.
Last night I watched the third episode of The Emperor of All Maladies on PBS. It's called "Finding the Achilles Heel." It deals with ongoing advances in treating cancer, but it also shows a remarkable young oncologist talking to two of her patients about death. One is an older man who seems quite ill and frail. She gently suggests they stop treatment and try to get him well enough to go home, and then decide if he wants to try more chemotherapy. Another is a woman who has just been diagnosed with lung cancer. Rather than mislead her, the doctor gives it to her straight. Lung cancer is treatable but not curable. Treatment will buy her time, but not a whole lot. The patient is sad and shocked, but she says she's grateful for the information. This way she can figure out her priorities for the time she has left, and live as well as possible under the circumstances.

0 Former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev accused the United Kingdom's government of creating problems for itself by trying to please only the United States at the expense of other partners.
Discussing the ongoing row between the U.K. and Russia over Moscow's refusal to extradite a murder suspect, Gorbachev said the British leadership "is trying to be a good partner only for the United States, and often ends up in situations for which it later finds it difficult to justify itself to its people."
"Russia sees this, and cannot encourage such an approach, but is ready to constructively resolve current problems," he told journalists in Moscow.
Gorbachev, 76, called for dialogue between Russian and British politicians to overcome the dispute.
"Our politicians should not be drawn into sharp statements, they need to bear in mind that Russia and Britain are linked by important ties - suffice to say that half a million Russians live in and around London alone," he said.
Earlier in the month Russian prosecutors formally refused to extradite Kremlin bodyguard-turned-businessman Andrei Lugovoi, accused by the U.K. of fatally poisoning former security officer Alexander Litvinenko last year.
Last week, Britain expelled four Russian diplomats and slapped visa restrictions on officials in protest against the extradition refusal. Russia's Constitution forbids the extradition of Russian nationals.
Moscow responded in kind, expelling British diplomats and announcing similar visa restrictions. The countries also suspended antiterrorism cooperation.
The former leader, who remains popular in the West for his role in the collapse of communism and who heads the Gorbachev Foundation socio-political think tank, said: "What's done is done; it's necessary to stop, and return to dialogue."

The band that is responsible for the greatest music to ever come out of Canada, headed by the ever so sexy Raine Maida. Hits include Superman's Dead, Starseed, Somewhere Out There, Where Are You, Naveed, Life. Albums include Naveed, Clumsy, Happiness...Is Not A Fish That You Can Catch, Spiritual Machines, Gravity, and Healthy in Paranoid Times. The band's name comes from a 1943 poem by Mark Van Doren.
by PlatypusDude January 10, 2006
Very good band. Started way back in '92. Hits include "Naveed", "Starseed", "Superman's Dead", "Clumsy", and many others.
Our Lady Peace kick quite the amount of ass.
by Kamek August 12, 2003
A band that, when it was first formed, was worth listening to. However, since they were launched into international stardom after the release of "Happiness is a Fish You Can't Catch", their third album, they started on a gradual downward slope, resulting in sell-outs who now are more concerned with aesthetics and "catchy-ness" then with producing good-quality music.

The Epistles of Clement.: Chapter VII
Chapter VII.—An Exhortation to Repentance.
These things, beloved, we write unto you, not merely to admonish you of your duty, but also to remind ourselves. For we are struggling on the same arena, and the same conflict is assigned to both of us. Wherefore let us give up vain and fruitless cares, and approach to the glorious and venerable rule of our holy calling. 4037 Let us attend to what is good, pleasing, and acceptable in the sight of Him who formed us. Let us look stedfastly to the blood of Christ, and see how precious that blood is to God 4038 which, having been shed for our salvation, has set the grace of repentance before the whole world. 4039 Let us turn to 4040 every age that has passed, and learn that, from generation to generation, the Lord has granted a place of repentance to all such as would be converted unto Him. Noah preached repentance, and as many as listened to him were saved. 4041 Jonah proclaimed destruction to the Ninevites; 4042 but they, repenting of their sins, propitiated God by prayer, and obtained salvation, although they were aliens [to the covenant] of God.

In America, it's "Save the dolphinsB" and "Save the baby seals!" But in Australia many conservationists are crying, "Save our kangaroos!" In response to rampant killing of the marsupials in the 1950s and '60s, the Australian government imposed an export ban on kangaroo meat in 1972. Now, the kangaroos are estimated to be 30 to 40 million-strong, and farmers complain that in some areas "mobs" of up to 10,000 kangaroos can be found eating fodder needed for sheep and cattle.
As a result, the Australian government allowed the prohibition to expire late last year, and shortly afterward the US government lifted its 1974 ban on the import of kangaroo products.
Many Australians fear that the lifting of the bans, plus the reopening of markets in Southeast Asia, where the high-protein, reasonably cheap kangaroo meat is in high demand, may very well lead to a wholesale kangaroo slaughter. They say it could even mean an eventual classification of the national emblem as a rare species.

It was reported in IRAS' website on 20 July 2017 that Selladorai Dharmalingam ("Selladorai"), the sole director of Al Bright Construction Pte. Ltd. ("Al Bright"), has been convicted and sentenced for abusing the Productivity and Innovation Credit (PIC) scheme by giving false information to illegally obtain a PIC cash payout and bonus for Al Bright.
IRAS' investigation revealed that Selladorai authorized the submission of the PIC Cash Payout Application Form by Al Bright to claim $50,461.20 in PIC cash payout and $15,000 in PIC bonus, for the purported expenditure of $84,102 to purchase an electric overhead crane. However, there was no such expenditure incurred by Al Bright nor any such equipment was purchased.
Selladorai was convicted of giving false information to the Comptroller of Income Tax in order to obtain a PIC cash payout and PIC bonus which the company Al Bright was not entitled to. The court ordered Selladorai to pay a fine of $3,500 and a penalty of $100,922.40, twice the amount of PIC cash payout that Al Bright had wrongfully obtained, and sentenced him to 12 weeks' imprisonment in default of payment.
What does this mean to you?
IRAS takes a serious view of any attempt by claimants, vendors or consultants to defraud the Government. Offenders convicted of PIC fraud will have to pay a penalty of up to four times the amount of cash payout fraudulently obtained, or which would have been obtained if the offence had not been detected, and a fine of up to $50,000 and/or imprisonment of up to five years.

Hi Ladies,
I am 10w4d preggers and I have heard that some ladies feet go up a size, or half a size when pregnant. Apparently they don't go back down to their normal size again either. So, has this actually happened to anyone? If so, how mach larger are we talking in terms of shoe sizes? I am a little (a lot) worried as I already have quite large/wide/flat feet as it is and if this happens nothing will fit me and I will struggle big time to buy pretty new shoes. It's coming into summer here and I desperately need to buy some new summer shoes however I don't want to shell out lots of money only for my new shoes to only fit for a couple of months.

It's been a pretty crazy week. We moved last Friday and Saturday into our new home (yay!) and then, on Tuesday, I came down with a cold that still lingers. However, as I sit alone in my new living room, the peaceful quiet of a Sunday morning surrounding me—everything seems right with the world.
Last Sunday, I sat out in the yard for an hour in the morning.
This Sunday, with the help of some friends, we are putting in the first beds of our garden. I'm hoping to do four raised beds ('lasagna style', as our soil is shallow and full of clay), and then put the fountain (which came with the house) in the center of an herb wheel.
Spring is uncovering herself in Central Texas. Though the trees are still bare and cold fronts sweep in every two weeks, today is in the 70s and the sunshine is hot. The promise of dusty summers is in that heat, but right now I can't seem to mind. Right now it warms the earth and allows me to think about melons, tomatoes, eggplant, lavender, rosemary, pole beans and bush peas…
I don't really have much spiritual pontification right now, except that a peaceful, quiet Sunday morning gives me a lot of joy, and so does gardening, and so does being in a home of my own. Is there a god(dess) I should thank for that? 😉

Follow my Single Mom boards on Pinterest
NOTE: I just discovered Pinterest and will be adding to these as I go. But we can file away everything we find that inspires us, motivates us or pushes our fashion senses. Just click on the links to follow my boards or follow me to find everything I pin.
Single Mom Blogs Board
I have a running list of single mom blogs on this board, the best of the best and those who are still writing. So many of the single mom bloggers I used to know are off and married now. Funny how that works, isn't it?
Single Mom Inspiration Board
I will put everything here that inspires me in hopes that it will inspire you or lift your spirits.
Fashion is so important to single moms, as many of us are re-inventing or re-discovering ourselves. I, personally, buy one or two staple pieces a season and find everything else in thrift stores. But I love what I find on Pinterest because it inspires how I throw it all together. Lots of layering, accessories and too many shoes.
I have lots of boards, you can find them all and follow whatever. Just wanted to share! Totally addicted already and love the way you can file and organize all of your favorite things.

XOTIC SP Compressor
Alternative Views:
List Price: $165.00
Our Price:
You save $33.00!
Stock Status:In Stock
Product Code:
The new Xotic SP Compressor uses an Operational Transconductance Amplifier (OTA), which turns the difference between your original guitar signal and its inverse into an output current that electronically controls the pedals gain to create remarkably clean, responsive compression.
The SP Compressor offers outstanding tone quality throughout a wide variety of compression effects, and its versatile subtlety may be the secret to the best guitar sound you will have ever used to make music.
A Blend control gives you the full sweep from all dry to all effect and all combinations in between, and the Volume control gives you up to 15dB of boost. The 3-way toggle sets the range of the whole effect while the four-throw internal dipswitch lets you select a high or low attack time, a fast or slow release time, a high cut filter and an input buffer that works both to prevent distortion and to trim the low frequency signal.
The SP is wired for true bypass and operates on a standard 9v battery or 9vDC power supply.
- Dimensions (W/D/H): 3.5" x 1.5" x 1.5" (89mm X 38mm X 38mm)
- Weight: 0.57 lbs. (260g)
- True Bypass Switching
- Power Consumption: 9VDC/5mA
- Battery Type: 9VDC (006P) x 1
- AC Adapter (Optional): 9VDC, Negative Tips (Regulated)
- Input Impedance: 1M ohm
- Output Impedance: 10k ohm
- Nominal Input signal level: -20dB (100mVrms)

" Wow! This compressor is fantastic! you guys did it again!! "
Steve Lukather
" It's ON my board now and I use it EVERY night. Love it! "
Brent Mason
" I like it very much. I like that its small and compact and it is very versatile. "
Jay Graydon
" I have used many stomp box compressors and in many cases such as when playing rhythm guitar, the hard attack of the compression can be annoying. The Xotic SP Compressor solves that problem as it has a blend control that allows the user to mix (blend) the non-compressed and compressed signal to taste. Another great feature is there are three options for the "Release time" of the compression! Such features are really nice to have BUT the best news is the compressor sounds great!"
Howard Leese
" I have been using the SP Compressor every day at rehearsals. It sounds great. I use it for my clean sound to even out the dynamics, and I also use it as a boost for solos on the dirty channel. So it replaces 2 pedals on my board, as I don't need a separate overdrive or boost pedal. My amps are dirty enough where I don't need more gain from an overdrive, just a bit more level. The SP has a big boost for such a small pedal. Already people are asking me what it is and who makes it.."
David Grissom
" The SP Compressor is the first compressor I can REALLY use. I have a very aggressive playing style and every other compressor I've tried over the years has either squashed my signal way too much or robbed too much high end. The SP is wonderful for fattening up single coil tones, and for making a part stand out in the mix. The simplicity of operation is refreshing, and I find that there are a wide range of usable, musical tones available without a lot of tweaking. Another great pedal from Xotic!"
