Groovin' on Mose Allison
The only music I'm hearing today is coming outta one of these:
HEY! Cheap Trick fans (i've seen a few posts)
anyone digging this?
Well I guess I have been out of the loop, had not heard of the band and I missed the show at the Double Door. Quite honestly, I doubt I would have made the trip into the city.
Thanks for bringing me up to speed, Derek. Interesting personnel/combination.
Time Fades Away is one of my top five albums of all time. I bought it when I was a kid in the 70s. Little I did I know that it would be one of the only Neil Young records not released on CD.

Like a late night run to White Castle, once in a while I need some BOC. In this case specifically ME262.
What's not to like about a good rave up?
I know. Guilty and ashamed. (not really)
This again is about where my head was musically and how this album twisted me up. This one brought hard rock and southern rock together for me which was completely new.
When they got "heavy" they were as good as any band at that time IMHO.
The 3D "inlay", which is really an outlay and only on the original release was pretty cool too.
Bobby Caldwell was a great drummer, could do quick rolls better than any I have heard who played a kit and not timbales. Met a similar end as Jaco, street fighting.
The Brian Setzer Orchestra is the best! They wrote new arrangements for many great classical songs. For example-Take the 5th is the new version of Beethoven's 5th.
"If you don't ride in the rain, you don't ride"
Just added Captain Beyond to my itunes. I'm slowly converting my vinyl to itunes with an ION USB turntable. Today was Cleo Laine Live at Carnegie Hall, John Mayall's The Turning Point, and an unnamed album with Norman Blake/Tut Taylor/Sam Bush/Butch Robins/Vassar Clements/David Holland and Jethro Burns. The last is the newest; recorded in 1974, Cleo in 1973 and John in 1969.
The "other" Frank.
Let's rock.
If one cannot command attention by one's admirable qualities one can at least be a nuisance
Oh some of this:
And this genius:
And back when Phil had chops:
Brand X, nize.
Fond of their album "Do They Hurt" myself.
Also, Phil doesn't sing which for me is a good thing.

SAN JOSE — Todd McLellan got what he wanted on the night that he set the Sharks franchise record for longevity behind the bench.
The Sharks skated into the Olympic break with a 3-2 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets and pulled within five points of the Anaheim Ducks — as close to the top of the Pacific Division as San Jose has been in weeks.
"We're 80 points at the Olympic break," said McLellan, who coached his 435th game for the Sharks. "We would have been probably pleased with that at the beginning of the season considering some of the players we lost over and throughout the year. We go into the break satisfied. Coming out of it we have work to do."
The San Jose offense came from John McCarthy's first NHL goal since 2010, Patrick Marleau's 23rd of the season and Tommy Wingels' second in two nights. But two giveaways made the game closer than it should have been with Ryan Johansen and Boone Jenner capitalizing for a Columbus team that was outshot 47-21.
For the Sharks, the game was a little payback for being swept last season and outscored 14-5 in three games by the Blue Jackets, who moved out of the Western Conference this season and were meeting the Sharks for the first time as an Eastern team.
San Jose jumped out to a 2-0 first-period lead for the 16th time this season.
The Sharks were on the board early when McCarthy won a faceoff, got the puck to James Sheppard and then got between his shot and Columbus netminder Sergei Bobrovsky for the deflection at 3:43.
The goal capped a week that saw McCarthy reassigned to Worcester on Sunday, then recalled Thursday when Matt Nieto was hurt. And his first goal of the season in 36 games made all that cross-country travel worthwhile.
"Yeah, I think so," he said. "It's been a long time and it felt really good to get one."
The lead grew to 2-0 at 8:13 when Bobrovsky robbed Brent Burns, but the rebound went to Scott Hannan at the blue line and his slap shot was tipped en route to the net by Marleau.
Columbus needed only 18 seconds of the second period to cut the San Jose lead to 2-1, as a weak clearing attempt by Joe Thornton was picked off by Johansen, who turned and fired a shot before Sharks goalie Antti Niemi could get in position.
The Sharks clearly had more energy in the third period than Columbus, which had played the previous night in Los Angeles, and it paid off at 5:11 when Wingels tapped in the puck for a 3-1 lead after Bobrovsky got only a piece of a shot by Jason Demers.
Another giveaway midway through the third period made it a one-goal game again when Demers, who was back in the lineup after missing three games with a groin pull, made an errant pass and Jenner turned that mistake into a 3-2 game at 10:45.
Thornton noted that it changed the locker-room atmosphere to go into the Olympic break having won three of the last four games. And he liked the prospect of making it a race for the Pacific Division title after being 11 points behind the Ducks when the month started.
"We're right there. We're going to get some guys back from injured reserve," Thornton said, a reference to the return of Logan Couture and Raffi Torres, among others. "We feel like we'll get some good rest and make a good push and see what happens where we are at the end of the year."
NEXT GAME » Feb. 27
The Sharks (37-16-6) are now on hiatus for the NHL's Olympic break. They return to action at Philadelphia on Feb. 27.

Henry VIII
British Dictionary definitions for henry viii
Henry VIII
Culture definitions for henry viii
Henry VIII
A king of England in the early sixteenth century. With the support of his Parliament, Henry established himself as head of the Christian Church in England, in place of the pope, after the pope refused to allow his marriage to Catherine of Aragon to be dissolved. Since that time, except for a few years of rule under Henry's daughter Mary I, who was a Roman Catholic, England has been officially a Protestant nation.
In his personal life, Henry was known for his corpulence and for his six wives. He divorced the first, Catherine of Aragon. He beheaded the second, Anne Boleyn, for allegedly being unfaithful to him. His third wife, Jane Seymour, died soon after giving birth to a son. He divorced his fourth wife, Anne of Cleves, and beheaded his fifth wife, Catherine Howard, also for alleged infidelity. His sixth wife, Catherine Parr, survived him. He also had his close friend and adviser Thomas More executed because More would not support Henry's declaration that he was head of the church in England. Henry was the father of King Edward VI and of Queen Elizabeth I, as well as Mary I.

Neil Sebree will compete in the Hooters World Wing Eating Championship Thursday in Clearwater, where he will have 10 minutes to finish off as many wings as possible.
FREEPORT � Neil Sebree left the chicken wing bare in two chomps.
He barely gave himself time to swallow as he tossed the bones back into the to-go box and reached for the next wing covered in hot sauce.
Watch a video of Neil. >>
The 31-year-old professional eater from Freeport doesn�t really have a style. He just eats, he said.
Sebree will compete in the Hooters World Wing Eating Championship Thursday in Clearwater, where he will have 10 minutes to finish off as many wings as possible.
Sebree will be pitted against the top three contestants from each of the championship�s five qualifying circuits in the United States. Joey Chestnut, who is most famous for his performances at Nathan�s Famous Fourth of July Hot Dog Eating Contest,also will compete.
It will be Sebree's second professional eating competition.
He won two ghost chili hot wings contests at Landshark�s Pizza Co. in Destin earlier this year. He finished off 10 wings slathered in sauce made from the world�s second-hottest pepper in 2 minutes, 7 seconds in January, and then in 1 minute, 55 seconds in February.
�I just kind of went for it,� he said with a grin.
He had a good time, so he decided to enter the Hooters qualifying round in Panama City in March. He finished off about 128 wings in 10 minutes. He finished second only to Chestnut, who ate 140 wings.
�I would equate it to going to a buffet and getting an extra plate that you shouldn�t have,� Sebree said of the feeling afterward.
Although he started eating professionally only a few months ago, he already ranks No. 30 in the world, according to Major League Eating, which oversees all major eating contests.
Sebree said he�s pretty surprised with his recent success. He doesn�t train for the contests, he just relies on willpower.
�I�ve been training all my life against myself,� he joked.

First study of methamphetamine uptake, distribution, and clearance in humans helps explain why the drug is so addictive and damaging to brain
UPTON, NY — Using positron emission tomography (PET) to track tracer doses of methamphetamine in humans' brains, scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory find that the addictive and long-lasting effects of this increasingly prevalent drug can be explained in part by its pharmacokinetics — the rate at which it enters and clears the brain, and its distribution. This study in 19 healthy, non-drug-abusing volunteers includes a comparison with cocaine and also looked for differences by race. It will appear in the November 1, 2008, issue of Neuroimage.
"Methamphetamine is one of the most addictive and neurotoxic drugs of abuse," said Brookhaven chemist Joanna Fowler, lead author on the study. "It produces large increases in dopamine, a brain chemical associated with feelings of pleasure and reward — both by increasing dopamine's release from nerve cells and by blocking its reuptake."
Studies by Fowler and others have shown that drugs that produce greater elevations in brain dopamine tend to be more addictive. But other factors, including the speed with which a drug enters and clears the brain and its distribution within the brain, can also be important in determining its addictive and toxic potential.
In undertaking this first study of methamphetamine pharmacokinetics, the researchers also wanted to know if there were differences between Caucasians and African Americans. "Reports that the rate of methamphetamine abuse among African Americans is lower than for Caucasians led us to question whether biological or pharmacokinetic differences might explain this difference," Fowler said.
The scientists measured brain uptake, distribution, and clearance of methamphetamine by injecting 19 normal healthy men (9 Caucasian, 10 African American) with a radioactively tagged form of the drug in "trace" doses too small to have any psychoactive effects. They used PET scanning cameras to monitor the concentration and distribution of the tagged methamphetamine in the subjects' brains. On the same day, the same subjects were injected with trace doses of cocaine and scanned for comparison. The scientists also used PET to measure the number of dopamine reuptake proteins, known as dopamine transporters, available in each research subject's brain.
PET Scans
These PET scans show a comparison of the distribution of methamphetamine (left) and cocaine (right) in the human brain using a rainbow scale (red indicating the highest concentration of drug, purple the lowest). Methamphetamine binds all over the brain and stays a long time while cocaine binds only in the striatum (the reward center) and leaves the brain quickly. (Click on the imae to download a high-resolution version.)
Like cocaine, methamphetamine entered the brain quickly, a finding consistent with both drugs' highly reinforcing effects. Methamphetamine, however, lingered in the brain significantly longer than cocaine, which cleared quickly. In fact, some brain regions, particularly white matter, still showed signs of tracer methamphetamine at the end of the 90-minute scanning session, by which time all cocaine had been cleared. The distribution of methamphetamine in the brain was remarkably different from that of cocaine. Whereas cocaine was concentrated only in the 'reward' center and cleared rapidly, methamphetamine was concentrated all over the brain, where it remained throughout the study.
"This slow clearance of methamphetamine from such widespread brain regions may help explain why the drug has such long-lasting behavioral and neurotoxic effects," Fowler said. Methamphetamine is known to produce lasting damage not only to dopamine cells but also to other brain regions, including white matter, that are not part of the dopamine network.
Surprisingly, the researchers found significant differences in cocaine pharmacokinetics between African Americans and Caucasians, with the African Americans exhibiting higher uptake of cocaine, a later rise to peak levels, and slower clearance. In contrast, the scientists found no differences in methamphetamine pharmacokinetics between these groups.
"This suggests that variables other than pharmacokinetics and bioavailability account for the lower prevalence of methamphetamine abuse in African Americans," Fowler said. "The differences observed for cocaine pharmacokinetics are surprising considering there are no differences in cocaine abuse prevalence between these two ethnic groups." These differences may merit further study, and also suggest the need to match subjects by ethnic group in future studies to avoid interference from this potentially confounding variable.
Another interesting finding was that across all research subjects, the level of dopamine transporters was directly related to the level of methamphetamine taken up by the brain. This finding suggests that transporter proteins somehow play a role in regulating the brain's uptake of this drug.
This research was funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse, the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism Intramural Program, and by the Office of Biological and Environmental Research within DOE's Office of Science. Brain-imaging studies such as PET are a direct outgrowth of DOE's long-standing investment in basic research in chemistry, physics, and nuclear medicine. The ongoing neuroimaging research at Brookhaven is a prime example of how DOE's national laboratories bring together the expertise of chemists, physicists, and medical scientists to address questions of profound significance for society.

Nietzsche Was Right
I don't want to alarm anybody or prey on your fears but you should all know that god is dead and the devil has won. "But Allen," you're probably asking right now, "How is this possible?" Well, it's really quite simple. Let me refer you to the classic documentary in which Doctors Venkman and Spengler expertly deal with all manner of paranormal aberrations. Now, as anyone who has seen the film well knows, the only way to avoid the end of the world is to make sure that the "Keymaster" and the "Gatekeeper" do not get together. If they do, well, it's over.
So, you can only imagine how my heart sank the other day when I read that the Keymaster and Gatekeeper are on a collision course and their unholy union will be consummated on 20 November 2010. Seriously, we are knowingly allowing the Yankees and Notre Dame to combine their evil powers together? I don't want to go to far over the edge here but you should know that it will form the most pure nexus of evil ever known in the history of the planet.
At least by then we may have bigger worries. That's right folks, at that point we may have insurance coverage for each and every American. And as bad as Zuul may have been, there's nothing worse than universal health care. Don't believe me? Just watch this public service announcement from the always civic minded Stephen Colbert:

Trainee conductors Trevor Nelson, Josie Lawrence, Craig Revel Horwood and Professor Marcus du Sautoy
Comedian Josie Lawrence, mathematician Marcus du Sautoy, DJ Trevor Nelson and Strictly Come Dancing judge Craig Revel Horwood put their musical abilities to the test at the Royal Opera House in the second series of Maestro, which begins tonight (Friday 4 May) on BBC Two at 9pm.
Over the three-part series the contestants take a crash course in conducting opera, competing to lead the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House in a live performance at Covent Garden. Each trainee conductor will be mentored through various trials and will meet with operatic experts, such as Royal Opera House Music Director Antonio Pappano, to learn about the complexities behind staging the art form.
Of the series, Director of The Royal Opera Kasper Holten said:
"This challenge will probably be the most difficult any of the contestants will ever face in their professional lives, but I really hope it will be one of the most fulfilling experiences they ever have."
Their performance on the podium will be judged each episode by members of the orchestra. The grand finale, in which the winner will conduct a repeat of the second act of Puccini's La bohème,to be filmed this Saturday.
The first series of Maestro aired in 2008, and saw comedian Sue Perkins beat DJ Goldie to conduct the BBC Concert Orchestra at Proms in the Park.

place the first image in a container with some padding left and right.
verify that the first image has no horizontal margin
height:auto is important otherwise the pictures are adjusted horizontally but not vertically, and they become distorted.

Upton Sinclair
Upton Sinclair (Upton Beall Sinclair), 1878–1968, American novelist and socialist activist, b. Baltimore, grad. College of the City of New York, 1897. He was one of the muckrakers, and a dedication to social and industrial reform underlies most of his writing. The Jungle (1906), a brutally graphic novel of the Chicago stockyards, aroused great public indignation and led to reform of federal food inspection laws. With the money earned from that novel, Sinclair established (1906) a short-lived socialist community, Helicon Home Colony, at Englewood, N.J., and a decade later he moved to Southern California. Among Sinclair's other novels exposing social evils are King Coal (1917), Oil! (1927), Boston (on the Sacco-Vanzetti Case, 1928), and Little Steel (1938). In his social studies, such as The Brass Check (1919), on journalism, and The Goose-Step (1923), on education, he tried to uncover the harmful effects of capitalist economic pressure on institutions of learning and culture.
An ardent socialist, Sinclair was in and out of the American Socialist party and, under its aegis, ran unsuccessfully for congressman, senator, and governor. In 1934 he was again defeated, this time as the Democratic party's candidate for California governor. World's End (1940) is the first of a cycle of 11 novels that deal with world events since 1914 and feature the fictional Lanny Budd as hero; the third, Dragon's Teeth (1942), won a Pulitzer Prize. Many of Sinclair's more than 90 books have been widely translated.
See his autobiography (1962) and reminiscences, American Outpost (1932) and My Lifetime in Letters (1960); biographies by L. Harris (1975), A. Arthur (2006), and K. Mattson (2006); studies by F. Dell (1927, repr. 1970), A. Blinderman, ed. (1975), J. A. Yoder (1975), W. A. Bloodworth, Jr. (1977), and R. N. Mookerjee (1988); bibliography by R. Gottesman (1973).

Hi. I was wondering if you're ever going to get back in stock the pink and red rose corset with the white base? I was going to buy it last year, but ended up buying something else. I kind of regret not buying it and can't find it anywhere. :(
Hi there,
I came upon your website while I was looking up some of my corset makers. I was surprised to learn that a corset that I had custom ordered came from a maker who is no longer in the corsetry business. My corset if from Creations L'Escarpolette. I'm feeling quite honored as I had this corset made many, many years ago. It has never been worn and it is nice to learn about the craftsmanship that went into it. Thank you so much for making the video on this designer. I appreciated all of the information.
Hi, how are you??
Im interested in to buy 2 interior corsets with bra exactly the same with measurements specifics . I´m a litte bit a hurry, so I would like to know how many time do you need for that special request if you´re so kind and if you are available to do it.
Thanks in advance.
Hi Lucy I love corsets I have few I would love you to be my designer.Do you ship in SOUTH AFRICA most of my corsets I would love to costomize them eg send pic and change here and there
Hi! After years of wanting a corset but never biting the bullet and just getting one, I've finally decided that there's nothing holding me back to just going ahead and just doing it. I've fallen in love with the look of the Emerald Green Brocade Corset in the Hourglass Underbust but both 22″ and 24″ are seemingly out of stock. I was just wondering if you knew when you would be getting some in either of those sizes?
Hi Ive been searching for a corset to start Waist training and I've found a site called corset deals and I would like to know what your opinion is on there corsets thank you
Is there anyone near Frederick, MD you can recommend?
Hi, Lucy. It appears as though you may have the Timeless Trends Hourglass Creme Cotton Underbust Corset size 24 in stock. I have a new corset to return to TT due to the TT size tool recommended size having been too small. I'm also A possible issue is that I might only be to exchange it due to having purchased it on sale. The main one I want is the Hourglass Creme Cotton Underbust Corset, which they're out of in 24". I live in Central West Coast Florida, so a cotton corset is probably the best for me waist training during our long, hot summer, and I stealth train only. Any advice?
Best regards,
Melissa Palmer
Hi Lucy. Love your videos on youtube. Im a guy in the uk and im considering starting wearing corsets full time. Mainly because i love the way it helps your posture and the way it looks and feels when wearing corsets. Can you recomend anyone in the uk who can provide help and support for a me? as i dont know if anyone in my social group that would be of any help… Thanks. Lee.
Hi Lucy- I'm brand new to corsetry, as in never worn one. Looking for a stealthy longline one. Also I have a bit of a low back issue so my hope is that the improved posture will be a side benefit. Any help or suggestions would be helpful
Are you located in Sacramento area?
I make Civil War era ball gowns along with the required undergarments. I would really like to take a class on corsets. Do you teach such a thing? I am more of a hands on learner as opposed to a read and do type. I live in Colorado Springs, CO and found you through Google.
Hi Lucy,
I'm getting married and looking for a corset that I can wear under my dress. My dress is fitted around the body and stomach area and I'd like to try to hide some problem areas, but don't want to be able to see bumps from the corset.
Do you have anything that could help?
Hi Lucy
I am plus sized and starting to wear corset, I have been able to wear it for about 10 hours a day from the get go, not super tight, but enough to help me with back problems too. Long story short my job is active and I wear my corset under a TShirt, problem is the busk will rub against my tee and that will make holes on my TShirt! I work as a bartender at a brewery hence I say my job is active, how can I stop this from happening? Any sort of "covers" for a corset busk?
Hey Lucy I'm interested in a corset for rib flare that I have. Do you still make conical corsets for rib flare so I can slowly train my ribs inward? Thanks!
Hi my name is Madison , I am M2fF in transition I am not fat but want to shape my belly for that hourglass shape a woman should have , can you help me pick out the one that would be best for me ? Thank you 💋
Heya Lucy, I'm having real trouble finding a corset that will fit me properly. I have an underbust of 33″ an over bust of 37″ a natural waist of 25″ and hips that are 34″, due too this finding any corset that hasn't been too loose round the waist has been a night mare.
Have you got any suggestions??
Hi Lucy,
I'm a 15 year old Austrian girl and not unlike you I am fascinated of corsets. I sew a bit myself and thanks to you I finally managed it to sew my own corset. I am still a beginner and I didn't succeed in finishing up my corset properly. It fits perfectly but just looks awful at the end, it fringes terribly! I don't know what to do!
can you help me?
Hi Lucy, I find you and your sites fascinating and have read most of them. However, I am a 95 year old retired nurse and educator who has had successful back surgery (1955). I am now experiencing lower back pain, got a sort of camp corset that proved to be helpful in the past. I am having a problem finding a liner and that's when I stumbled across your site. I ordered and received your special liner, bit it is too big and long . Should it cover the whole butt area? It just slides right on and I can insert two fingers on either side of the top edge without touching the liner itself. I obviously need help. I have been searching for about 6 months trying to find the right thing so I have read much and have accumulated so much information and forgotten at least half. I'd like to start fresh. What measurements should I send you to get a near perfect.t liner. If you do not accept returns or exchanges, I will keep this one and start over. I am anxious to start walking in improved comfort. Your help will be greatly welcomed and appreciated. Thank you.
I have a few corsets that I need to sell. How do I go by this process?
Hi Lucy,
I have waist trained in the past. I just had a tummy tuck and wanted to see what your option was about when I can wear my corset again. Unfortunately all the binders the doctors want me to wear are too big on me. The reason they suggest to wear one during the healing process is to reduce swelling and to support the lower back. I would apricate any suggestions. Thankyou
Hi Lucy. Have you tried the Audrey underbust corset from Isabella corsetry? I want to know if you have a review about it before I actually order one just in case its not the proper fit for me. My underbust to waist measurement is 4 inches ; from the underbust to my lap is 8-9 inches. Thanks for your time. ?
Hello! I've been interested in corsets for a while now and I'd love to see how it will work for me, especially since I have scoliosis. I don't have a big enough curve for it to be deemed serious but you can tell that my spine isn't straight by my physical appearance. My shoulders are slightly uneven (you can tell if you look closely), my hips/waist is uneven so it's like I have two different hips/waists. Though I never really have been bothered by that, I would like to 'straighten things out' and have a more even waist. Another benefit this would be for me is better posture as it is a little difficult for me to sit upright for long periods of time. It can cause my back to ache a little. I've also read the benefits section of this site and was surprised at what I read because I never knew that corsets could benefit you in that way! The next time I go to the doctors (or whatever you call it) to get my spine checked or maybe on my first physical exam, I'll ask if it's ok for me to start using a corset. I do have a question though as to what corset would be right for me? Because the last thing I'd want to do is get the wrong one and suffer the physical consequences!
I'm trying to sell my red and lace corset I bought it for 300 bucks do you know where I could possibly sell to the side of course I don't want $300 for it
Hi lucy,am new at waist training and as such would need you to help with the corset to begin with.am a plus size with a waist 38″ hip is 53″ will have to check my under bust and get back to you.but the challenge here is am in Nigeria,do you ship to nigeria and how much will both d corset and shipping cost me.
hi. Am 18years old and dealing with scoliosis, I was wounding If you speacliese on corset or any body shaper to help with my scoliosis , last thing I want to get is the surgery I believe I have a 10 degrees curve almost to the top of my back. I would really appreciate if you can email me back and give me feedback on ur corset, If they are safe for me or not
Thank u so much hope to hear from u soon
How can I determine my size of my waist under the corset? My corseted waist size is 25′ , but I am not sure of my actual waist size while corseted.
I would like to buy a Corset for a short mid section. I will send my measurements shortly.

Curriculum and Instruction
Undergraduate Special Education Program
The Special Education program was designed to meet the national and state standards for special education teachers. Students enrolled in the dual certification program also meet state standards for the elementary education teachers.
The program was designed to help teacher candidates learn the content and skills necessary to serve children with special needs. In addition, because so many students with special needs are included in general education classes and are taught with general education curricula, our majors also need to be competent in general education content. As a result, students working toward an LBSI certificate take courses in the Curriculum and Instruction Department in reading and reading methods, science methods, social studies methods, and math methods for elementary teachers. Our students also have multiple opportunities to practice the content and skills learned in the classroom.
Students in the LBSI program and those who opt for the dual special education/elementary education program take some of their coursework side by side with Elementary Education majors. Special education and elementary education teachers must work collaboratively in the field in order to best meet the needs of diverse learners. We provide opportunities for students to practice collaboration in our courses.

STANFORD, Calif. — Stanford wide receiver Kodi Whitfied is not really a chip off the old block.
More like a sliver. A shaving.
BOX SCORE: No. 13 Stanford 24, No. 10 UCLA 10
WATCH: Whitfield's amazing grab
He is 6-2 and 196 pounds, a toothpick compared to his father, Bob Whitfield, who was an All-American offensive tackle at Stanford and an NFL Pro Bowler at 6-5 and about 325 pounds.
Bob Whitfield is in the Stanford Hall of Fame, and Kodi Whitfield, a sophomore wide receiver, will forever be in the Stanford football highlights after making one of the most spectacular one-handed circus catches Stanford – or anyone – has ever seen.
Whitfield's 30-yard, one-handed touchdown reception midway through the third quarter of the Stanford-UCLA game Saturday was altogether unusual, seemingly impossible and undeniably spectacular.
It also was the turning point in 13th-ranked Stanford's 24-10 victory against the 10th-ranked, previously unbeaten Bruins.
INJURY: UCLA player goes to hospital
HIGHLIGHTS: How the top 25 teams fared in Week 8
Whitfield can just about book a room in L.A. for next year's ESPY Awards.
It was such a great catch that some observers didn't believe their own eyes.
"I don't think he caught it," UCLA wide receiver Shaq Evans said. "I don't see how he could get the ball from his right hand back to his left hand and hold on to it. If it was a catch, it was amazing."
It was a catch.
It was amazing.
With the score tied 3-3 and Stanford on UCLA's 30-yard line, quarterback Kevin Hogan dropped back, waited for Whitfield to break on a post pattern and then let it fly – a little late, a little too high. Hogan jumped a little too soon but, on his way down, extended his right arm, stopping the ball with his right hand and pulling it into his body as he crashed to the end zone grass along with Bruins cornerback Ishmael Adams.
"It was a battle for position, and I had his left shoulder pinned," Adams said. "He got his other hand up and somehow grabbed it. I tried to strip it. I thought I did. I guess the replay showed I didn't."
Now, Adams becomes the football version of "dunked on," the victim of a posterization that will be played again and again at Stanford, at ESPN, wherever people want to show that the impossible is possible.
Whitfield, whose father was at the game, is the Cardinal's No.3 wide receiver – behind star receiver/return man Ty Montgomery and Devon Cajuste — in a run-oriented offense and he revealed after the game that he was not the primary receiver on the play.
"But I try to run every route like I'm the primary receiver," he said.
This time, Whitfield lined up on the left, was jammed at the line of scrimmage by Adams but was able to get a little daylight breaking toward the goal post.
Hogan's throw was high but he and his teammates have seen Whitfield make leaping grabs before.
"I'm always expecting him to go up and get it," Hogan said. "He's always doing that. He made an unbelievable play. I can't wait to see it on SportsCenter."
Said Stanford linebacker Trent Murphy: "Once I saw it up in the air, I started jogging out for the PAT because I knew he was coming down with it. It was an awesome catch. I can't wait to see it again."
Rest assured, fellas, you'll have plenty of chances to see it again.
Did Whitfield surprise himself?
"I'm not going to say that," he said. "We get coached to make plays. When the ball was coming, I just felt like I had to catch it. My left hand was kind of pinned by the defender. But I think I have big hands, and I was able to get my right hand up."
His reception was the first touchdown in a conservatively played, defensive game and made it 10-3. When Stanford strong safety Jordan Richards made the first of his two interceptions on UCLA's next possession and the Cardinal drove for another touchdown, Stanford led 17-3.
UCLA answered impressively, driving 75 yards for its first TD, a 3-yard pass from Brett Hundley to Evans, to make it 17-10.
But that was as close as the Bruins got, as Hundley failed to produce the plays necessary for a comeback. Overall, he had a rough day against Stanford's physical defense, completing 24 of 39 for 192 yards, one touchdown and the two picks.
Stanford had 192 yards on the ground, including 36 carries by tailback Tyler Gaffney for 171 yards and two touchdowns, and outgained UCLA 419 to 266.
The Bruins came into the game averaging 45.8 points and 547 yards and Stanford came into the game off a 27-21 loss at Utah, so the Cardinal felt afterward as if its defense, which struggled to stop the Utes last week, had redeemed itself and that Stanford (6-1, 4-1) could now go about its goal of winning the Pac-12 and playing in a BCS bowl game.
"That's the way we wanted to play since the beginning," Stanford pre-season All-America linebacker Shayne Skov said. "After the Utah game, we talked to each other about not being as prepared as we should have been. This week was an improvement.
"Last week we put ourselves in a hole. In order to get where we want to get, we have to win every week."
This was the beginning of a very tough three-game stretch for Stanford. Next week they are at Oregon State, then host No.2 Oregon in a Thursday night game Nov. 7.
"Welcome to the Pac-12, baby," Skov said. "Every game is going to be a grind."
Stanford coach David Shaw said he had no doubt his team would rebound impressively from a loss.
"Last Sunday was a player's day off, but the weight room was open and it was probably our biggest attendance on Sunday in two years," Shaw said. "Guys wanted to bounce back. They wanted to turn the page and move on, and the advice I gave them earlier was bring last week with you."
He didn't think to add, if your left hand is pinned, just stick up your right hand.

West Quadrant News: Concepts That Map the Future
As mentioned in the previous post, the West Quadrant Concept Development Workbook contains a series of quadrant wide principles and concept layer maps that will be used to shape the policies and goals to come.
Using the urban design principles previously discussed as well as information from various public outreach events, six concept layers have emerged to guide the policies for the West Quadrant Plan: land use, special attractions, height, street and development character, open space and green systems.
The Land Use Concept Map includes "bubbles" that illustrate the predominant land uses that would be encouraged in future development. Most of the West Quadrant is mixed-use in character today and will continue to be in the future. The Land Use Map also illustrates the desire to incentivize housing and employment in certain areas. Two additional maps ─ special attractions and maximum building height ─ also help reinforce the land use concepts. The Attractions and Special Places Map identifies significant places that are unique to the area and have a special draw. The building height diagram indicates approximate maximum building height to be allowed in different areas.
The Street Development and Character Map outlines a more intentional and varied approach for the quadrant's street network. The Open Space and Green Systems Maps help reinforce the design principles of connecting places and designing with nature by laying out future open space and green system enhancement opportunities.
Together these maps help illustrate a West Quadrant where Portland residents can live, work and play for many years to come.

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. -- Bobby Petrino will have an opportunity to rebuild his tarnished image at Western Kentucky, with the school announcing it has hired the controversial football coach as the new architect of its program on Monday.
It will be Petrino's first job since being relieved of his duties at Arkansas back in April after revelations of an extramarital affair with a former Razorbacks volleyball player whom he had hired as a staff member.
Petrino also returns to the state where he began a head-coaching career that's had its share of both success and scandal. The 51-year-old guided Louisville for four seasons from 2003-06, leading the Cardinals to a pair of double-digit win campaigns and top-10 rankings in the final Associated Press poll during that time frame.
Louisville amassed a 41-9 overall record and captured two conference championships (Conference USA in 2004 and Big East in 2006) under Petrino's tenure, which ended when he took the head coaching position with the NFL's Atlanta Falcons in January of 2007.
Petrino lasted only 13 games with the Falcons, however, before famously bolting to take the Arkansas job with three weeks still remaining in the 2007 season. Atlanta was 3-10 at the time of his departure.
The Razorbacks went just 5-7 in Petrino's first year at the helm in 2008, but compiled a 29-10 record over the following three seasons and went to a pair of major bowls. Arkansas lost to Ohio State in the 2011 Sugar Bowl and earned a 29-16 victory over Kansas State in this past January's Cotton Bowl.
Arkansas finished 11-2 and fifth in the final AP poll last season, which would turn out to be Petrino's last.
Less than three months after the Razorbacks' Cotton Bowl win, he was involved in a motorcycle accident in which a police report later revealed that 25-year- old Jessica Dorrell was riding as a passenger, which contradicted Petrino's initial statement that he was alone on the vehicle.
Shortly after the April 1 crash, Petrino was fired by Arkansas athletic director Jeff Long for "abusing his authority" and "jeopardizing the integrity of the football program."
Long claimed Petrino, a married father of four, "knowingly misled" the investigation of the accident and had multiple opportunities to rectify his mistake, leading to his firing "with cause."
The Arkansas AD also stated that Petrino and Dorrell's inappropriate relationship "gave her an unfair advantage for a position in Petrino's staff," and declared the hiring to be a conflict of interest.
One of only three coaches to lead two different schools to a BCS Bowl, Petrino will get his new start as the replacement for Willie Taggart, named the new head coach at South Florida on Saturday.
Taggart steered the Hilltoppers to a second straight 7-5 season in 2012, with the program earning the first bowl bid in its five-year existence as an FBS program with an invitation to the upcoming Little Caesars Pizza Bowl in Detroit.
Defensive coordinator Lance Guidry will serve as interim head coach in the bowl game, which takes place on Dec. 26. The Hilltoppers will face Central Michigan.

|Scaling Everest Pose
Not bad for a $2 top, eh? See, you can find frosting in every price range!
|My favorite hat!
This is a somewhat modified version of V1314, a Tracy Reese dress that is gathered down the sides. I sewed it up in the silver and black metallic mystery sweater knit that I picket up at the San Diego Swap Meet in early January for $2. It's shinier in person. Burn tests were inconclusive: it melted but had orange flames, it had ashes and beads, and it smelled like the ripstop I worked with last winter (read: a likely carcinogen). So clearly it is some sort of blend.
There isn't a whole lot of information about sewing this sort of sweater knit floating around the blogosphere. The fabric is loosely knit and basically see thru, but didn't seem too prone to raveling. Even so, I decided to take a kitchen sink approach to stabilization and raveling. Here's what I did (interspersed with winter fun pictures).
|The world would be a better place if there were more pompoms.
Side, Shoulder and Sleeve Seams
This was pretty straight forward. After basting in the side seam gathers, I used 3/8" clear elastic and a 4 thread overcast stitch on my serger to sew these seams and finish the seam allowances in one swoop. I'm not wildly experienced with sergers; maybe not all are alike. But mine has some differential feed features and a stitch finger just for knits that keeps the feed and stretch in check - no fiddling and my knits don't seem to pucker or get wavy.
|Overreaching model loses balance, falls off Everest pose.
Neckline, armscyes and hem
First, I used fusible tricot interfacing to stabilize these three areas.
The fusible tricot is perfect for knits since it has controlled stretch, and the one I like best fuses at a pretty low heat - a plus for mystery fabrics of uncertain origin.
For the sleeves, I basted the sleeves in, then sewed with a narrow zigzag stitch. After clipping the curves I pressed the seam allowance toward the bodice and top stitched with a twin needle with wooly nylon thread in the bobbin. Even though a twin needle gives the stitches some stretch and I used the tricot interfacing, I was worried about seams breaking when I pulled the garment over my head and shoulders. This top/dress has negative ease. Wooly nylon thread is very soft and stretchy, yet strong. It looks a bit more like yarn than thread. So, it was a good solution and definitely made the seams stretchier. I plan to use it again on any lingerie projects that require stretch (ie panties or a stretch lace cami).
|Is there anything as awesome as a field of undisturbed snow?
For the neckline, a folded strip of self-fabric binding is applied and then turned to the inside and stitched in place. I used the twin needle to finish it as well.
And the hem was simply fused and then turned and finished with the twin needle.
I checked all the seams when I took the top off last night and am pleased to report that the kitchen sink approach seems to have worked out just fine. All seams were intact.
|I am an airplane!
I made a bunch of changes to this pattern:
- I omitted the lining. I'm wearing a black cami and leggings underneath instead.
- I shortened it to tunic length, which is what I pictured, but also I didn't have enough fabric to make it full length
- I made the sleeves 3/4 length (lack of fabric, again)
|It was GREAT snowball snow.
One of the nice out of the envelope features is that this dress has a higher tighter armscye/sleeve than most patterns I've sewn. I think this is great since too much ease in the armscye looks sloppy to me and reduces range of motion. A higher tighter armscye is perfect for the sort of full shoulder rotation that gets some spin on a snowball...
|Phin thought I was being cute...
|...until he had to dodge snowballs and take pictures at the same time.
I'm really happy with this top. I may have to make a sleeveless dress version of this for the summer, or maybe another tunic if I stumble across a knit I really like. But for now, since I've got a few shiney slinky frostings in my wardrobe, it's on to other projects that have been percolating in my brain.
OK, final outtakes...
|"I'm gonna make a snow angel!"
|He he he
For those of you in winterland, I hope you had some snow day fun, too! And avoided being attacked by crazed sewists wielding icicles...
|If I was attacked by the Abominable Snowman, I'd show him who's boss!

Pirelli Tire once again brings us the Great 8 finalists for the Ridler award at the 62nd Annual
Before you can be crowned with the Don Ridler Memorial Award you have to weave your way through the gauntlet (the select judging panel) and be recognized with a Pirelli Great 8.
As the name would imply there are only eight hot rods that are selected from a field of over 30 entries. Again, as the name implies there can only be eight cars to make it to the "finalist" status and go through the extensive judging to see which one will take home the Ridler award. The Ridler is recognized as the "most coveted" award throughout the entire indoor car show season—and to be crowned you need to be recognized as a Pirelli Great 8. Follow along as we present the eight cars in finalist competition.
John and Phyllis Sadler of North Little Rock, Arkansas are on hand with their Pirelli Great 8 '57 Chevy Bel Air. Painted in brilliant red from the color library of PPG; the Vermillion Red is sprayed over a 1-1/2-inch top chop and an extensive list of other modifications. Power for the '57 comes by way of a LS6 with a 4L60E that ushers the power back to the Heidth's IRS while up front Heidth's 2-inch dropped spindles locate the Wilwood disc brakes—also found in back. At the corners you will find Stalgia Malibu 5 wheels.
Up next is the '69 Chevy Camaro belonging to Brian and Gianna Ganos of Muskego, Wisconsin. It is a Rally Sport / Super Sport car making it highly desirable before all of the fantastic mods. The car design came from the pen of Larry Williams while the build came through the shop of Jim Hubbeli. Charlie Hutton handled the body- and paintwork. The PPG paint color is reminiscent of Gran Sport Corvette. The exotic brake package comes from Baer that includes calipers, drilled and slotted rotors. The engine LS6 is a World Gen coupled to a Bowler Tremec T56 6-speed. A great deal of the custom machine work was handled by Greening Auto Company. M&M Hot Rod Interiors handled the fancy stitch work while the custom dash is outfitted with Classic Instruments with one-off faces.
Next in the "short line" of Great 8 finalists for the Ridler is Dan Duffy of Marietta, Georgia with his '56 Chevy 210 post car. The body- and paintwork comes from Thunder Valley Customs while the design and metal fabrication was aptly handled by Tom Manner. Another M&M Hot Rod Interiors effort can be seen in this '56 Chevy.
Another Pirelli Great 8 is the '67 Chevy Nova done in a Pro Touring style. Car belongs to Steve Tornari of Parkland, Florida. The Chevy Nova is sprayed in a subtle monochromatic paint scheme.
Another Pirelli Great 8 is the '32 Ford Fordor sedan belonging to Don and Carolynn Smith of Mansfield, Texas. The brilliant orange sedan was built at the shop of Hot Rods by JSK. The V-8 power comes from a 312 Ford with a marine Hilborn injection system—very rare.
The '64 Buick Riviera belonging to JF Launier and built by JF Kustoms is another Pirelli Great 8 finalist. The Riv shows off a two-seater sports concept custom with a great deal of Corvette influence. Look closely at the hood, sides, and rear deck area and you will see the sports car Corvette influence. The rear deck-light comes from a '71 Buick Riviera along with numerous other handformed sheetmetal panels from front to rear bumpers. The 6.2L LS pumps out 850 hp through the Tremec six-speed.
The 4-inch chopped '33 Ford 5-window is also channeled 3 inches over the frame and is another Great 8 finalist and it belongs to Rocky Boler of Southhampton New York. The chocolate brown coupe features a list of body mods that's too extensive to talk about now but we are sure this car will be seen elsewhere.
The last of the Pirelli Great 8 is the '33 Ford sedan delivery belonging to Albert Seese of Lees Summit, Missouri. We should point out that the sedan delivery body started life as a passenger car sedan body. To the myriad of custom bodywork and paint was handled by Keimig's Rod Shop using House of Kolor paint and a Dan Fink grille. The drivetrain is '05 Corvette based on a LS2 engine with a Corvette transaxle. Seese designed and built the custom chassis and it is suspended by four Budnik wheels with custom centers.
That wraps up the Pirelli Great 8 finalists for the Ridler award. Now time will tell which one of these outstanding cars goes home with the big prize.

Look Younger, Feel Better and Improve Your Health with Stem Cell 100
Lakewood, Colorado (PRWEB) December 31, 2012
Children are protected from most of the problems associated with aging. As a result they can rapidly recover after am illness or injury because young adult stem cells have a far superior ability to repair and regenerate damaged tissues. With aging the adult stem cells have less capacity to repair and there are fewer available. In addition, the micro-environments that surround stem cells becomes less nurturing, so cell turnover and repair are reduced. This happens so slowly that most are only aware of it over a long period of time. Some people notice that their body changes during their 20's, 30's and 40's. Nearly everyone is aware of the difference after they reach 50 years of age. Stem Cell 100 can help people over 30 regain more youthful regenerative potential by stabilizing adult stem cell function.
Stem Cell 100 Helps to Support:
1. Adult stem cell rejuvenation
2. A healthy cardiovascular system
3. Healthy blood glucose levels for those already in the normal range
4. Healthy blood pressure levels for those already in the normal range
5. Healthy cholesterol levels for those already in the normal range
6. Younger looking skin
7. Better learning and focus
8. More endurance with vigorous exercise
9. A healthy immune system
10. Healthy breasts, colon, pancreas, and prostate
Stem Cell 100 combines ten pharmaceutical-grade natural vegetarian extracts ( SC100 ) that promote regenerative stem cells in the body. Stem Cell 100 acts by stimulating biological processes needed to promote healthy stem cells, while inhibiting the degenerative inflammatory reactions that limit stem cell function. Life Code is also developing additional supplements that promote stem cells, telomeres and have a positive benefit on other mechanisms of aging. Stem Cell 100 does not contain any stem cells. It is made with pharmaceutical grade plant extracts that have been used for thousands of years.
The statements above have not been reviewed by the FDA. Stem Cell 100 is not a preventive or treatment for any disease.

I'm not sure yet how this surname of Lavender fits in with my family history, but it is linked to the family of "Digby" Daniel Read whose exact connection with my family I am still investigating.
For those following my blog you will know that I refer to Daniel Read as "Digby" because for a long time I did not know his first name, seeing only Dg or Dy in a document so I gave him that nickname.
Anyway "Digby" Daniel (1731 – 1771) born at Hardmead, Buckinghamshire had a brother called Lavender Read (1734 – 1770) also born at Hardmead, Buckinghamshire (I just so love that name). I always wondered where the Lavender part came from and have found a few of my Reads have a first name taken from their mother's maiden name. So I was thinking that Lavender Read was named after perhaps his mother, grandmother, someone else?
After a bit of ferreting around I also discovered the Will of "Digby" Daniel's father (also called Daniel) 's brother Edward of Hardmead, Buckinghamshire. Edward Read's Will was dated 13th March 1733 and proved 21st October 1734. Edward has three witnesses to his Will and, surprising for me, one of them is Elizabeth Lavender! So I began to wonder, is Elizabeth Lavender family or a friend and is she or someone in her family why Lavender Read was so named.
Daniel Read senior and his brother Edward had a sister Elizabeth, so I wondered if she had married a Lavender. But on investigating this further, Elizabeth married Robert Yorke in 1719 at Hardmead, Buckinghamshire so she's not the one with a connection to the Lavenders.
Daniel senior (brother to Edward and father to "Digby" Daniel) married Rebeka but I have no idea what her surname is. I have searched throughout Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Hertfordshire and many places in London for Daniel Read senior's marriage to Rebeka but no luck at all in finding it. I wondered if she was a Lavender, hence naming one of their sons with that surname. Still I have no idea.
Daniel senior's own father was also Daniell Reade and he was born in Moulsoe, Buckinghamshire but he and his wife Sarah Hootton had their children at Hardmead and Daniel and Sarah both died at Hardmead. The family are also linked to Emberton, Buckinghamshire so I have searched these places in particular for Lavenders.
After a good few years of searching I am no nearer to finding out who Lavender Read is named after and how the Lavender family are connected to "Digby" Daniel Read's family.
I'm sure I will find the answer one day, I am a very patient person!! 😉

Haiti told to hurry up with long-overdue elections
The head of the U.N. peacekeeping mission in Haiti is reiterating calls for Haitian authorities to take steps to hold long-overdue legislative and local elections.
Mariano Fernandez's said a Christmas Eve agreement reached by President Michel Martelly and members of parliament to form a semi-permanent electoral council to stage elections for one-third of the 30-seat senate and local mayors, "represents an important first step." The next step is to finalize the appointment and installation of the council's nine members so that it can do its job, said Fernandez, the U.N. Secretary General's Special Representative in Haiti.
Fernandez's call comes at the end of a week where Haiti's fragile democracy has been at the forefront of discussions in the international community.
On Thursday, U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon announced the appointment of Carl Alexandre, who has extensive experience in developing rule of law initiatives with the U.S. Department of Justice, as his deputy representative in Haiti. Also earlier in the week, U.S. assistant secretary of state for democracy, human rights and labor, Michael Posner, visited Haiti for three days.
Following the visit, Posner called on Haitians to work together to help strengthen democracy and to start to think about how to take on more fundamental issues that effect everything from workers and women's rights to rule of law.
"This is really a moment where Haitians themselves have to own their future, and find ways to engage with each other," Posner said in a telephone interview.
"The burden is heavily on the government because they are in control but it's also the obligation of the people on the outside who are critical to come in the spirit of saying, 'We've got some shared problems, we've got to figure out how to solve them,' " he added.
Posner's visit included meeting with government and civil society leaders.
He said he found many Haitians who are committed to improving conditions, but he also found frustrations.
"There is a lack of faith in the system, the sense that the rule of law is not respected, that institutions like the judiciary and the police and the prisons and the prosecutors are not doing the job adequately, and that the government isn't living up to expectations" he said. "These are long standing problems. There is a sense that government needs to be more accountable, more open, there needs to be strong institutions. The country needs to operate in a more regular way. Those are huge challenges."
Posner commended the government for taking several important steps in the past year to reform laws protecting people with disabilities and workers' rights. He also applauded the establishment of an independent council of judges, known as the CSPJ.
"It's the beginning of accountability, by the judiciary, for the judiciary, in creating an independent judiciary, which hasn't existed for a very long time," Posner said about the council, which has been at the center of controversy.
Posner's optimism was a far cry from the reaction of the U.N.'s independent expert on human rights, Michel Forst when he visited in November. Forst heavily criticized Haitian authorities, questioning their commitment to strengthening Haiti's broken justice system, saying in practice, many efforts to do so were being blocked.

On his return today from China after a week-long trade visit to promote Scottish interests and industries, First Minister Alex Salmond has made a key intervention on the European issue, writing to the Prime Minister David Cameron with six crucial questions about the UK's isolation within the European Union as a result of the Prime Minister's veto of a new European Treaty.
The First Minister said:
"It is extraordinary state of affairs that while the Scottish Government and our agencies were working hard to promote Scotland's interests and industries in China, David Cameron was blundering into apparently changing the UK's entire relationship with the European Union – without even discussing it with his own Lib Dem coalition colleagues, never mind the devolved administrations in Edinburgh, Cardiff and Belfast.
"Given that David Cameron took it upon himself to isolate the UK in Europe - from non-euro and the euro members alike - and without a word of consultation, he now needs to answer six key questions about the implications for Scotland of what he has done. As the price of playing to his own backbenchers, the Prime Minister now leads a riven administration - with zero credibility in EU negotiations across the range of policy areas where Scotland's interests are crucially affected.
"Last week's developments in Brussels demonstrate that Scotland urgently needs a voice at the top table when our vital national interests are being discussed, by becoming an independent member state, instead of being shut out of the room."
The First Minister's questions to the Prime Minister are:
1. What risk assessment, if any, did the UK government undertake of the likely impact of its veto decision on investment into Scotland and the UK, and on negotiations affecting key Scottish industries such as agriculture, fishing, and financial services - where qualified majority
voting already applies?
2. What assessment, if any, was made of how Scotland's interests will be affected in the EU by being represented by a UK government that is excluded from important decision-making meetings, which will impact directly on Scotland?
3. Given the serious impact of a UK treaty veto, why did you not consult with the Scottish Government and other devolved administrations on the use of an option which Mrs Thatcher and John Major in their negotiations both managed to avoid?
4. Can you confirm the reports in the Italian and UK press that you told the new Italian Prime Minister that your negotiating stance was based on the 'big internal problems' you would face if you had agreed to the Treaty change?
5. With key negotiations ongoing concerning the EU Budget, agriculture and fisheries, how do you believe that the important Scottish interests involved will be affected by being represented by a UK member state which has isolated itself?
6. Will you agree to an urgent meeting of the Joint Ministerial Committee, involving all four of the UK administrations, so that the full implications of your decision can be considered?
