Rayburn RB Latrone Williams killed in auto accident Wednesday night
- posted: Aug 26, 2013
Latrone Williams, a senior running back expected to be a key piece to Rayburn's offense this season, died Wednesday night in an auto accident.
Williams was one of three passengers in a truck that flipped over in Pasadena.
A vigil was held Thursday evening as practice and a team meet-and-greet event were both cancelled.
"When I came in last year in April, he was one of the first kids that really approached me and welcomed me into the family here at Rayburn," coach David Satcher said Friday. "He's one of those – people are drawn to him and he has an infectious smile. Just one of those kids that no matter what is happening in the day, he's a positive influence and one of those kids you love to have in your program.
"We talk about with our program: faith and family before football. We were tested the night before last."
Williams ran 192 times last season for 956 yards and 10 touchdowns. He was an honorable mention on the District 22-5A all-district team. He also played basketball.
Rayburn scrimmaged Clear Lake on Friday.
"The captains met with the team for about 45 minutes and they decided they wanted to play this morning," Satcher said. "They would rather be out on the field because that's what they thought Tron would want them to do. He had so much fun on the field – not just in the games, but in practice. "
Rayburn is scheduled to open its season next Friday on the road against Porter.

Press Release
BP to Pay State $255 Million for 2006 Pipeline Spills and Shutdowns
November 8, 2012
Juneau, Alaska – The State of Alaska won a multi-million dollar arbitration award against BP Exploration (Alaska) Inc. The dispute related to money damages for oil production shortfalls caused by the 2006 pipeline leaks and pipeline replacements in the Prudhoe Bay oilfield. BP admitted liability for purposes of the arbitration, but contended that the State suffered no losses and asked the arbitration panel to award zero damages.
Following a four week hearing in May and June, the three arbitrator panel issued a unanimous decision in favor of the State on October 31. The award is final, binding, and non-appealable. After adjustment for previously agreed upon credits, the final award with prejudgment interest is $245 million; in addition, BP will pay $10 million to settle civil assessments for the spills. In total, BP will pay the State $255 million for the 2006 spills and pipeline shutdowns.

A web application micro-framework
20 Apr, 10:04am Forum restrictions
Due to the huge amount of spams reported these days in the forum, I decided to add an approval system to prevent spam posting. Please, read carefully the messages displayed when posting so that you do not post many times the same message or think that the forum doesn't work :).
Compared to native applications, web applications are faster and easier to develop, maintain and don't require any third party validation or fee to be online and fully available to everyone. Keeping this point in mind, we decided to provide an easy to use and full featured framework to help developers work faster and let appart most user interface considerations.
This framework targets most developers or advanced technology enthousiasts who want to take a walk on the mobile market. And as it is client based, it can be used with any server side technologies including PHP, ASP.Net, Python... There is no specific platform requirement. You can develop on any system including MacOSX, Windows and Linux.
WebApp.Net provides many API so that most of the work is done for you. No need to waste time on AJAX coding, it is already buit-in. You just need to download the package and look at the provided demo website to start with it and take a quick look at the documentation.

Job-hunting? Look for business pain
My young friend Mikayla is a brilliant chickadee, and she's been that way as long as I've known her. Mikayla is my daughter's friend, and the two of them are sophomores in college now. Back when the girls were in eleventh grade, Mikayla pitched me on a summer babysitting assignment. "I can just imagine that it's hard for you once school gets out, with your second-grader underfoot," she wrote to me. "Do you want me to pick him up at the end of daycamp each day, take him for pizza and a dip in the rec center pool, and bring him back exhausted to have dinner and fall asleep?"
That was a summer babysitting offer I couldn't refuse. The reason I mention it in this column is because Mikayla put the whole thing together herself; I never mentioned to her that I really like to work until five or five-thirty, or that day camps tend to end at three or three-thirty. I never told her that my workdays were truncated because of the daycamp schedule.
She put herself in my shoes as a hiring manager, if that's the right term for a person in my situation. The truth is, I hadn't given three seconds of thought to the idea of summer babysitting before Mikayla wrote to me. If someone had asked me the direct question, "Looking for a summer babysitter?" I would have answered, "Thanks, but no," because summer babysitting was the last thing on my mind. Mikayla used a critical job-search technique (and consulting business-development technique, and sales technique) that I call Pain-Spotting(TM). She put herself in my shoes. She thought, "What would it be like to be a working mom with a little kid who needs attention after daycamp and has tons of energy, while that same mom has work to do and deadlines to meet?" She saw the pain first, then devised a solution. She presented the pain and her solution to me and created her own summer job. Read more…

On a 99F July Sunday, there's no cooler place to be in Chicago's Pilsen neighborhood than the public pool in Dvorak Park, where you can catch a fleeting breeze in this working-class, heavily Latino community. Unfortunately, the air in Pilsen isn't very cool--and it isn't very clean. Chicago's air on July 17 was so polluted that the government recommended that children and people with respiratory ailments--too common in a city that has nearly double the national asthma-hospitalization rate--limit their time outdoors. "People are getting sick in Chicago because of the air," says Brian Urbaszewski, director of environmental-health programs at the Respiratory...

But you're a resto druid. Why?
While watching your own cooldowns and boss timers can be hectic enough on its own, there are times where sharing cooldowns with someone else is necessary to manage a regular, heavy-damage spike. As a resto druid, though, I have no tank-saving cooldowns: I am limited to a NS+HT macro for an instant big heal, which may or may not crit. All I have are "OSHIT" buttons; they have no special abilities beyond healing.
Alas, H-LK has shoved the idea of monitoring other peoples' cooldowns down my throat. In order to handle the massive damage without requiring tank swaps and relying purely on 10-strict gear, we've moved to a wild and crazy cooldown rotation that dominates our ventrilo chatter during attempts. Since they have determined that I am a beast at the final phase's AoE healing requirements, I have been drug into the hell that is soul reaper without a tank swap (because swapping tanks in itself often resulted in one or the other dieing, and my mana running dry from the dual-tank lifeblooming required). Also, if we don't have a tranq that night, then we get to play cooldown-dances during P1 for the shamblers, too! FUN TIMES!
While they don't use any of my abilities as a "tank-saving" cooldown, I *do* need to be aware of when there isn't one available, or that our expected cooldown is currently floating away in a valkyr's grip; if that is the case, I know I need to be prepared to dump some heavy, direct heals in to try to save them, and time a cast to heal just after the reaper but before any other damage hits the injured tank (which would easily kill them). Or... I have to prep for a hasty tank swap (which means stacking HoTs on the other tank) and possibly a battle res around infest and defile timers.
So, to the meat of my post: I want to collect and learn what the different cooldowns are, and memorize their icons so that I can quickly process that information without interrupting myself in the chaos that is hardmode Lich King. So, this post was born.
The Mod
I have used the mod RaidCooldowns as a way to monitor innervates and battle reses, ankhs, and soulstones for a good long while, now. It's useful in that it is based off of the combat log events, so that it does not require another person to have the mod installed in order for you to track their cooldowns. It's got its problems, like not realizing that Beranabus' tranquility is talented and set-bonused to have no cooldown, but that's just because it doesn't actively synch with other people (if they have a different cooldown than the base) unless they have the mod/CTRA/oRA2.
The interface is fairly self-explanatory. You can limit what shows up, and style and position the bars to your preference. Notice the icons: these are the most important part, because these are much easier to glance over and process than trying to read a long ability name tacked onto the bar in addition to the character name it's reading for. For the purposes of decluttering, I think it's best to learn the icon, and ditch the ability name from the bar.
There are other mods you could use, like oRA3, but this is the one I have experience with. I'm also quite certain that you can set up Power Auras to alert you whenever your target or focus has a tank-saving cooldown active, if your tanks are less vocal.
The Cooldowns
"Tank Savers"
A tank-saving cooldown is an ability that can be used to protect a tank from incoming damage or otherwise avert a tank's death from an incoming attack. These are often talented special abilities and can take the form of reducing the damage coming in, or increasing the tank's ability to resist or soak the damage without dieing. Some of these are personal, while others can or must be used on targets other than the caster.
- Some non-tanks have a personal cooldown akin to a tank-saving cooldown, like Evasion or Dispersion. It's not a tank-saving cooldown because they aren't tanks :)
- Anything that is purely reactive or just a healing-ability is not a tank-saving cooldown, as it does not mitigate the damage about to be taken. They are useful, certainly, but they do nothing to shield the tank above what their current health and defensive stats can handle. These abilities include things like Nature's Swiftness and +healing received buffs.
"Tank Savers"
Guardian Spirit: anti-death. Provides a 40% +heal buff as well as negating one death.
Pain Suppression: damage-reduction shield. 40%; also includes a small threat reduction.
- Dispersion: personal damage reduction. 90% (shadow)
"Tank Savers"
Divine Shield: personal immunity, but reduces damage you deal.
Divine Protection: personal damage reduction shield. 50%.
Ardent Defender: personal damage reduction + anti-death. (prot)
Hand of Protection: shareable physical immunity, but target is unable to attack.
Hand of Sacrifice (single) and Divine Sacrifice (party-wide): shareable damage transfer to the paladin. 30% of each hit is transferred.
- Lay on Hands: shareable extremely large heal based on the paladin's own health pool
- Divine Intervention: shareable complete-immunity and removal from combat. Wipe protection.
"Tank Savers"
- none.
- Nature's Swiftness: removes cast time from a spell, ie. heal (resto)
- Reincarnation: personal self-resurrection, sometimes referred to as "ankh up"
"Tank Savers"
Shield Wall: personal damage-reduction shield. 60%.
Shield Block: personal block increase (physical damage). 100%.
Last Stand: personal health increase. 30%.
Stoicism via Bloodrage: SPECIAL. Usually causes a drop in health, but with 4-pc T10, it will provide a personal damage-absorption shield. (thanks, Koch, for pointing this one out!)
- Intervene: warrior takes a hit intended for the target; can also provide damage reduction via talents (prot, 30%).
- Enraged Regeneration: personal heal.
"Tank Savers"
Bone Shield: personal damage reduction. 20%
Unbreakable Armor: personal armor buff. 25%
Icebound Fortitude: personal damage reduction. 40%+
Vampiric Blood: personal health increase (15%) and +heal buff.
Anti-Magic Shell: personal spell damage reduction (75%, unholy 100%)
Anti-Magic Zone: shareable, stationary spell damage reduction (75%). (unholy)
??? via Bloodtap: SPECIAL. With 4-pc T10, it will provide a personal damage-reduction shield (12%)
"Tank Savers"
Barkskin: personal damage-reduction shield. 20% (feral).
Survival Instincts: personal health-boost (feral). 30% (45% glyphed).
Enraged Defense via Enrage: SPECIAL. Enrage typically decreases armor, but with 4-pc T10, it will provide a personal damage-reduction shield. (thanks, Kaethir, for pointing out the proc buff!)
- Frenzied Regeneration: personal bear HoT, glyphed for +20% heal-received buff.
- Nature's Swiftness: removes cast time from a spell, ie. a heal (resto)
- Rebirth: battle res.
- Tranquility (party): a channeled heal that is a powerful party-only rescue.
Pure DPS Personals
Other classes have personal "oh shit" buttons that you may wish to be able to recognize:
- Evasion: Rogue dodge boost, sometimes enables them to tank physical damage
- Cloak of Shadows: Rogue spell immunity, very short duration
- Vanish: Rogue aggro-drop
- Ice Block: Mage complete immunity, short duration
- Invisibility: Mage aggro dump
- Feign Death: Hunter aggro-drop, may be resisted
- Soulshatter: Warlock aggro-drop
The Cooldowns, Re-Organized:
Tank Personal Cooldowns
- /
- /
Others' shareable Tank-Saving Cooldowns
Other shareable "OSHIT" Buttons
What I'd LIKE to have:
Yeah, yeah, I'm picky and possibly dreaming.
- A light-up "action bar" style row of abilities, showing what IS available for those in my raid to use, greyed out with a spiral-cooldown OmniCC type timer to show when they will next be ready. This would be limited by class and spec and if they're even alive. If it could also light red to say "hey, out of range or unable to cast cuz the guy's been stunned or is falling down a hole into an abyss of doom," that'd be great. ...I suppose that's what voice chat is for, but hey, I'm a visual person!
- OR at least a way to reskin the RaidCooldowns bars to DamiaUI skin... it doesn't block as much screen :) I've dug through the mod files but haven't been able to figure out yet what to copy, as the DBM skin template is a separate xml file and I'm a mod-script noob being distracted by a fluffy puppy. >_>

Related: Boston Bomber Controlled by FBI
Sarah Titterton
London Telegraph
April 20, 2013
Officials told the Associated Press, Reuters and CNN that Tamerlan Tsarnaev, who died in a shootout with police outside Boston on Friday morning, was interviewed by federal officers.
The matter was closed when it did not produce any derogatory information.
One official told AP that the FBI shared its information with the foreign government. The official did not say what country made the request about Tamerlan Tsarnaev or why.
The 26-year-old's younger brother Dzhokhar, also a suspect in Monday's bombings that killed three people and wounded scores more, has been taken into custody after a dramatic confrontation with police.
Tamerlan Tsarnaev died of bullet wounds and injuries from explosives strapped to his body, a hospital doctor said.
By the way, people who know what's coming are taking advantage of our healthy & delicious storable food!

Philadelphia Phillies – Awards: At-Bat Champions.
During the team's previous 127-year history, twelve Phillies players have led the National League in at-bats a total of 20 times, with four of them winning it more than once.
The first Phil to lead the NL in at-bats was Hall of Famer Sam Thompson, who would win it in 1893 with 600 at-bats. The next Phil to lead the NL would be Duff Cooley, who in 1897 ended up in a four-way tie with Gene DeMontreville of the Washington Senators, Fred Tenney of the Boston Beaneaters and George Van Haltren of the New York Giants, who all finished that year with 566 at-bats. The third Phil to lead the NL in at-bats was Eddie Grant, who would do it in two straight seasons, with 598 at-bats in 1908, and leading again in 1909 with 631 at-bats. The fourth Phil to lead the league in at-bats would do so twenty-four years later, as Chick Fullis would have the most at-bats in 1933 with 647 of them. Phils nos. five and six would be tied for the lead in 1949 as Hall of Famer Richie Ashburn and Granny Hamner would both end the season in a tie for first with 662 at-bats. The next Phil to lead the NL was Larry Bowa, who ended the 1971 season with 650 at-bats. Phil no. eight would be Dave Cash, who would lead the league in three straight years, 1974 (687), 1975 (699) and 1976 (666), helping to lead the team to the first of three NL Eastern Division pennants that year. The ninth Phil to lead the league in official at-bats would be Juan Samuel, who, like Cash, would lead the NL in three seasons, 1984 (701), 1985 (663) and 1987 (655). The next Phil to lead the league in at-bats was Lenny Dykstra, who did so in 1993, the year that the Phils won the NL pennant, with 637 at bats. The eleventh Phil to lead the league would be Doug Glanville, who would have 678 at-bats in 1998. The twelfth, and presently last, Phil to lead the NL in at-bats is Jimmy Rollins, who would lead the lead in at-bats in four different seasons, 2001 (656), 2002 (637), 2007 (716), the year that he won the MVP as he help lead the Phils to their first NL Eastern Division title since 1993 and 2009 (672), the season that the Phils would win their first back-to-back NL pennants.
During the twenty times that a Phil had led the league in officials at-bats, three had done so while tied with another player, in 1897 (4-way tie) and 1949 (2-way tie between two Phils). Phils would lead the NL twice in the 19th Century, fifteen times in the 20th Century and four times, so far, in the 21st Century. Two of the Phils to lead the league were Hall of Famers (Sam Thompson in 1893 and Richie Ashburn in 1949). Jimmy Rollins had done it the most times with four, followed by both Juan Samuel and Dave Cash, who have each done it three times, then Eddie Grant, who did it twice. The rest have done it only once. Jimmy Rollins would have the highest total of at-bats with his 716 in 2007 and Duff Cooley would have the least with his 566 official at-bats in 1897.
Who would most likely be the next Phil to lead the NL in at-bats? Most likely Jimmy Rollins, if he can keep from getting injured.
All of the Phils should be in Clearwater, getting ready to defend their 2009 NL Crown. Come on guys, let see if we can join the 1880-82 White Stockings (now Cubs), the 1891-93 Beaneaters (now Braves), the 1894-96 Orioles, the 1901-03 Pirates, the 1906-1908 Cubs, the 1911-13 Giants, and the 1942-44 Cardinals, and hopefully prepare in 2011 to tie the 1921-24 Giants for four straight NL pennants, the only NL team to accomplish that feat.
Almost everyone is saying that this is probably the best Phillies team in years. On paper. Go out there and prove them right, guys!!!
Go PHILS!!!!

For gamers of all kinds, here are the 7 best places to buy video games cheap. Whether you're a collector, reseller, casual or hardcore gamer this list is for you.
holy crap! Half.com, is that site legit? They have Star Ocean Second Story for only 11 bucks?!!! No way! I'm buying that right now! Most sites are selling that game for $120 minimum.
edit: disc only though. =/
Glyde.com has awesome deals, you have to live in America though.
I usually never buy games at full price anymore. Borderlands 2, Blops 2, Halo 4, all got discounted and more games at that.
Half.com looks promising as hell, as i'm currently on the hunt for a very rare capcom game "The misadventures of Tron Bonne", so i type the name in, and wouldn't you know it, it's priced at $250! Darn! lol, well, the hunt goes on!

The first trailer for director Bryan Singer's Jack the Giant Killer has gone online. Based on the classic tale, the fantasy pic tells the story of an ancient war that's reignited when a young boy (Nicholas Hoult) unknowingly opens a gate between the world of the humans and the world of the giants. We don't see much here, as it plays out very much like a teaser trailer, but I like the feel of it and it sure is nice to see Singer back doing big action set pieces. Ewan McGregor is the epitome of cool, and Hoult seems a fine choice to play the reluctant hero. Overall, I like the tone and the look of everything, but there's not enough here to gauge whether or not Singer's got himself a winner. I'm really looking forward to seeing those giants though.
Hit the jump to watch the trailer. The film also stars Eleanor Thomas, Stanley Tucci, Ian McShane, and Bill Nighy. Jack the Giant Killer opens in 3D IMAX on June 15th, 2012.
Click over to Apple to watch in HD.
Here's the official synopsis for Jack the Giant Killer:
Jack the Giant Killer tells the story of an ancient war that is reignited when a young farmhand unwittingly opens a gateway between our world and a fearsome race of giants. Unleashed on the Earth for the first time in centuries, the giants strive to reclaim the land they once lost, forcing the young man, Jack, into the battle of his life to stop them. Fighting for a kingdom, its people, and the love of a brave princess, he comes face to face with the unstoppable warriors he thought only existed in legend—and gets the chance to become a legend himself.

Use our patient tools for secure, convenient, 24/7 access. Learn more
This facility is a member of
Adventist Bolingbrook Hospital provides an excellent cardiac rehabilitation program for patients who have heart problems or are recovering from surgery.
Our program is certified by the American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation (AACVPR). This 3-year certification represents the highest quality in patient care—only 200 programs in the country and only 6 in Illinois have been re-certified.
Through our innovative program you will collaborate with exercise physiologists, dieticians, cardiologists and cardiac nurses to create an individualized exercise program.
The three phases of cardiac rehabilitation at Adventist Bolingbrook Hospital are inpatient, outpatient and maintenance. Each patient undergoes a thorough evaluation before beginning a rehabilitation program that is specifically tailored to their individual needs and cardiac condition. Our personalized cardiac rehabilitation program is designed to place you on a path to improved physical, mental and spiritual health.
Cardiac patients begin the inpatient rehabilitation program shortly after a heart event or surgery, while still hospitalized. Nurses and exercise physiologists work under the direction of a physician to help the patient undergo progressive exercises and increased walking. In both inpatient and outpatient cardiac rehabilitation, the patient's heart rate and rhythm, blood pressure and oxygen levels are monitored while the patient is exercising.
Phase two of cardiac rehabilitation, the outpatient phase, begins two to four weeks after the patient is discharged. Exercise sessions are scheduled for one hour, three times a week. The program takes about 12 weeks to complete, depending on your progress. This service is available at several locations and is covered by most insurance programs.
The program includes nutritional counseling with a registered dietitian, and educational classes on risk factors such as high blood pressure, diabetes, hypertension, and high cholesterol.
During the optional phase three of cardiac rehabilitation, a special cardiovascular maintenance program can be designed for graduates of the Outpatient program who are independent but still find supervision during exercise beneficial. Consent from your physician is required. Maintenance programs are typically not covered by most insurance plans.

Do you know this man? His name is John Marvel, and he was vice president and executive editor of ESPN.com until very, very recently. But now the Bristol folks have canned him/asked him to resign, and a reliable tipster tells us it's because of what they're calling a "road rage incident in the ESPN parking lot." We're not sure what that means, but, well, we're curious. (We hope he hijacked something that belongs to Jackpot Jay. Just because.)
Those who have worked with Marvel say he has been known to be, well, competitive, perhaps even fiery or veering toward rage in the past, particularly those who have played basketball with him. But hey, don't mock him: He's now in need of a job.

What we love about PG&E
As Robert F. Kennedy said at our inaugural event, "PG&E is the best utility in the United States". And we couldn't agree more. PG&E recognizes the tremendous impact that a utility company has and asks the question "how can we become carbon neutral?" and follows that up with direct action. They are committed to raising the bar when it comes to energy innovation, as evidenced by bringing the notable William McDonough on retainer to explore future development, delivering some of the nation's cleanest electric power, to investing in renewables, this commitment to be the greenest utility in the country is evident. We are personally impressed with their unconventional, outside the box programs such as converting methane into clean energy and advocating for regulation of greenhouse gases through partnerships. PG&E is taking the lead in their arena by supporting their customers through one of the country's most successful energy-efficiency programs—and many other innovative environmental initiatives like ClimateSmart™, a first-of-its-kind voluntary offset program. And most importantly, their integrity meter is high. They are committed to sharing information about their actions, taking responsibility for their historic environmental impacts, and operating in a way that is consistent with their environmental justice principles. For this, we can honestly say that we are serious fans.
What we love about Intel
We're tremendously honored to be partnered with a company that we hold such a high opinion of and who's vision and values are so closely aligned with our own—the components of which involve creating a future that's greener, more efficient, involves smarter cities and intelligent transportation and inspires the conviction that we all have the capacity for greatness in making this a reality.
Intel's belief that you can achieve a brighter future by helping people envision it, is why we are so thrilled that they've chosen West Coast Green to be one of their exclusive venues for sharing this powerful message in person. The West Coast Green 2010 platform will be a real-time demonstration of how everything is connected…from the Smart Grid to the Smart Home, to Intelligent Transportation Systems and exactly what the infrastructure to support these systems will look like. The innovations from Intel are what we'd call the brains for powering all of the above. The emergence of the Smart Grid, underscores the value of change when it happens in a cross-industry, scalable way and that intersection of technology and sustainability is where the most significant environmental advances can be made. Intel is front and center in being the "go to" provider for any business wanting to know what's possible in the world of technology and how they can get connected to it.
Something else you may not know about Intel -- their environmental scorecard is every bit as impressive as their reputation for innovation!
• Intel maintained its position as the largest voluntary purchaser of renewable energy credits in the United States, according to the EPA who placed Intel at the top of its latest Green Power Partner List for 2010.
• In January 2010, Intel announced its plan for eight new solar installations at its U.S. facilities. Intel's latest renewable energy credit purchases equate to approximately 51 percent of Intel's estimated U.S. electricity needs for 2010. This corresponds to the carbon dioxide emissions from the electricity use of nearly 134,000 average American homes or nearly 200,000 passenger cars removed from the streets for one year.
• Since 2001, the company has invested more than $30 million in and saved more than 650 million kilowatt hours from energy conservation and efficiency initiatives.
So, from the Smart Grid to Smart Transportation, Intel is changing the way we live and raising the bar on what it means to be a part of the communities of the future. Intel is innovating what it means to power the future and we are thrilled to have Intel as our true co-pilot in this endeavor. As noted scientist and luminary, Alan Kay, said "The best way to predict the future is to invent it" and that's precisely what Intel is doing.
What we love about IBM
IBM understands how sustainability is a 21st century business imperative –- one that is not only concerned about the environment but also economic growth and the long term viability of organizations, industries, and societies. Sustainability on a smarter planet means gathering, synthesizing and applying information in new ways to benefit economic, environmental and operational strategies of an organization. By leveraging its business consulting, IT services, enterprise software, hardware systems, and financing capabilities along with its extensive business partner network, IBM helps clients measure and manage the sustainability of their organizations' IT, people, information, products, property, and business operations. They also help develop strategies that prioritize current and future investments, while also revealing opportunities for an organization to thrive and develop.
Home Depot
What we love about The Home Depot Foundation
The Home Depot Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization that was established in 2002 to further the community building goals of The Home Depot by providing additional resources to assist nonprofit organizations. Since its formation, The Home Depot Foundation has granted $70 million to nonprofit organizations and supported the development of more than 50,000 affordable, healthy homes. Not only are they committed to providing homes for those who most need them, The Home Depot Foundation takes a whole community approach by investing in the planting and restoration of trees along streets, in parks and in schoolyards; the building and refurbishment of community play spaces; and the revitalization of school facilities. And as if that's not enough, in 2007, The Home Depot Foundation committed to investing $400 million in grants over the next 10 years, which will result in the development of 100,000 affordable, healthy homes for working families and the planting and preservation of more than three million community trees in urban areas. Now that is something to love!

Uhm, I believe Ace is referring to his penis...
Interested in Language
Hello guys,
Yesterday I watched Ace Ventura When Nature calls.In my opinion it's one of the greatest comedies ever made.However there's one joke I didn't catch :
Attendant: Peanuts?Ace Ventura: [looks down] Yes, I have one right here. It's bulky, but I consider it carry-on.Attendant: [holding bag of peanuts] Peanuts.Ace Ventura: Oh, I see.So can you guys explain me what's the meaning of it, "it's bulky,but I consider it carry-on"?Thanks in advance:)
Uhm, I believe Ace is referring to his penis...
Yes he is,but what exactly means "but i consider it carry-on"?
Obviously, Ventura was wandering from the subject.
"It is bulky (large, occupies big space), but I consider it carry-on".
Although it is big, it is not bigger than the maximum size that you are allowed take on board with you in a plane.
YouTube - Ace Ventura
- "Mr. Ventura, there is nothing wrong with enjoying the fruits of nature. You should try it some time."
- "Alrighty then!"

Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) describes scarring in scattered regions of the kidney, typically limited to one part of the glomerulus and to a minority of glomeruli in the affected region. FSGS may result from a systemic disorder or it may develop as an idiopathic kidney disease, without a known cause. Proteinuria is the most common symptom of FSGS, but, since proteinuria is associated with several other kidney conditions, the doctor cannot diagnose FSGS on the basis of proteinuria alone. Biopsy may confirm the presence of glomerular scarring if the tissue is taken from the affected section of the kidney. But finding the affected section is a matter of chance, especially early in the disease process, when lesions may be scattered. Confirming a diagnosis of FSGS may require repeat kidney biopsies. Arriving at a diagnosis of idiopathic FSGS requires the identification of focal scarring and the elimination of possible systemic causes such as diabetes or an immune response to infection. Since idiopathic FSGS is, by definition, of unknown cause, it is difficult to treat. No universal remedy has been found, and most patients with FSGS progress to ESRD over 5 to 20 years. Some patients with an aggressive form of FSGS proceed to ESRD in 2 to 3 years. Treatments involving steroids or other immunosuppressive drugs appear to help some patients by decreasing proteinuria and improving kidney function. But these treatments are beneficial only to a minority of those in whom they are tried, and some patients experience even poorer kidney function as a result of therapy. ACE inhibitors may also be used in FSGS to decrease proteinuria. Treatment should focus on controlling blood pressure and blood cholesterol levels, factors that may contribute to kidney scarring.

Cary Audio Design CAD-805 monoblock power amplifier
Roarin' '20s amp circuits naturally tended toward simplicity. A single power triode was allowed to handle the entire signal; ie, both negative and positive portions of the waveform. These amplifiers perforce operated in purest class-A: the signal was not shared between two tubes, as it is in a push-pull output stage. These minimalist designs typically used no global negative feedback, feedback not being widely used until the late '30s. This is one of the major reasons why a single-ended design recovers so gracefully from overload. In this age of 84dB-sensitivity loudspeakers, power amps clip routinely. "Redlining" an amp may push it into momentary gross distortion, or oscillatory behavior which persists for many milliseconds. That literally sounds bad. The single-ended amp, on the other hand, clips so smoothly and recovers so quickly that it's difficult to tell that it has clipped at all.
In the '20s, a UX-171 triode reliably delivered a clean 700mW, while a UX-210 power triode with a plate voltage of 425V could deliver 1540mW of undistorted power—a whopping 1.54W! Such power is actually adequate for home radio applications. Come to think of it, my daughter's new Sony boombox sports a specification of 1.5W at 5% THD. That's progress!
In the '30s, Western Electric pushed the single-ended power amplifier to around 9W output using the 300A output tube. These 9W beasts were used extensively to power large horn-loaded speaker systems in movie theaters across the country. Later, RF transmitting tubes such as the 211 and the 845 were used to generate over 20W in single-ended fashion.
What caused the near demise of the single-ended power amp in the '40s and '50s? The switch to push-pull was fueled in the '30s by the growing popularity of the pentode, which offered better load damping and even greater efficiency in push-pull. The proliferation of relatively inefficient direct-radiator loudspeakers demanded more amp power. The inefficient single-ended output stage finally gave way to push-pull designs that were more efficient by factors of two and three (less wasted plate dissipation).
Ironically, the push-pull stage was already known in the '20s. Such a connection was recognized to balance out even harmonics—assuming tube-like characteristics—and therefore offered a possible means of reducing triode harmonic distortion, which is primarily even in nature. Unfortunately, the trend toward using power pentodes in a push-pull connection tends to emphasize their harsh odd-order harmonic distortion signature, which isn't canceled by balanced operation (footnote 2). Odd-order harmonics (third, fifth, etc.) are not consonant with the music's harmonic envelope and are therefore not easily masked, even at very low levels.
Whether or not the distortion-reduction argument holds much water, undeniably the biggest practical advantage of push-pull operation is that direct currents in both halves of the output transformer's primary winding balance each other magnetically, minimizing the problem of core saturation and making a lighter, more compact, and wider-bandwidth design possible.
Another factor behind the single-ended amplifier's demise had to do with the misguided drive for lower and lower harmonic distortion. The invention of the moving-coil dynamic loudspeaker in the '20s generated much excitement and a common perception that there was now a speaker that had no distortion detectable by the human ear. The next logical step in the development of perfect radio reception was to perfect a distortion-free amplifier; hence, the birth of the simplistic notion that lower distortion, at whatever cost, is hi-fi's ultimate goal. This idea has stuck with us through the years and was used to legitimize the supposed "superiority" of early solid-state gear. Tons of transistorized crap have been sold under the conceptual umbrella of "Less than 0.01% Total Harmonic Distortion!" Joe Public could sleep blissfully at night, secure in the comforting illusion that his receiver was true hi-fi.
Over the years, the legacy of the single-ended triode amp and horn loudspeakers continued to find a receptive audience in Japan where, in the '70s, audiophiles discovered Western Electric gear. Japan is apparently one country where the dry, sterile sound of modern gear is frowned upon. Audiomart's Walt Bender tells the story of how he laughed at Japanese collectors who paid him big bucks for these audio antiques. He stopped laughing when he actually heard the stuff for himself. Like Walt, audiophiles whose sole exposure to tube gear has been via class-AB push-pull amps heavy on feedback go into shock the first time they hear single-ended magic; the sound's purity and musical intensity are that dramatic. The Japanese have combed the countryside for years for this classic sound; by now, practically all the available vintage gear has migrated East.
The good news is that the growing underground interest in single-ended tube gear has translated into a commercial rebirth of this class-A King. Cary Audio Design is the first modern US-based manufacturer to offer several single-ended amp designs. CAD's designer, Dennis Had, says he's excited by and devoted to single-ended triode amplifiers: "It never ceases to amaze me how some of the golden classical designs of the 1930s were actually more advanced in their sonic presentation than some of the more current Hi-Fi designs." he says in Cary's promotional brochure. "Maybe we really don't even have a clue to what Hi-Fi of today vs live music is all about until we listen to some of the more simplistic, in terms of component count, audio circuits from brilliant minds of years ago in comparison to a live performance." In other words, unless we understand our audio roots, we will never find the path to musical fidelity.
Footnote 1: Lee de Forest incorrectly insisted that the triode's behavior was due to the presence of gas in the primitive audion's soft vacuum. It was left mainly to Armstrong to provide a strong theoretical footing for the triode's behavior and to develop circuits that made use of its properties. Those interested in the early days of sound reproduction and broadcasting should read Tom Lewis's Empire of the Air: the Men Who Made Radio (HarperPerennial Books, 1991). Written in conjunction with an excellent PBS program (which is also available as a videotape), this is the best account I have yet read on the legal disputes between de Forest and Armstrong and between Armstrong and Sarnoff.—John Atkinson
Footnote 2: The necessary phase splitter or inter-stage transformer was thought, even 70 years ago, to introduce some distortion itself, thus negating at least some of the push-pull stage's inherent distortion neutralization.—Dick Olsher

The city of Jacksonville is in full swing with preparations to make downtown the best possible venue for One Spark 2014.
With news that the world's crowd-funding festival is going global with a second event in Berlin and more to follow, the city's volunteer efforts to clean up downtown are ongoing to ensure the headquarters of One Spark remains presentable.
Recently more than 100 volunteers surfaced around Hemming Plaza -the heart of downtown Jacksonville and located directly across from City Hall – and planted new flowerbeds throughout Hemming Plaza.
"We've been planning this cleanup for some time and our deadline was to have it done before One Spark to help showcase the city and its beauty," said Wayne Wood, the founder of Friends of Hemming Plaza, whose volunteers were on hand for the beautification. "We have a really good relationship with One Spark."
While maintenance is always a challenge for public spaces, public and private investors have come together and donated thousands of dollars to help start the process. Wells Fargo provided a grant of $35,000 as part of the Neighborhood LIFT program.
Indeed downtown is improving, especially the 20 square blocks that will be showcased during One Spark. As the crowd-funding festival closes in on downtown Jacksonville, more efforts are underway to create the best possible venue for One Spark 2014.
Wood's grand vision is to restore the plaza as one of the city's top urban park areas. He would love to recreate Hemming Plaza as it appeared in the 1970s before it was paved.
And, there's more he'd love to add. Wood wants Hemming Plaza to become a city attraction with food, art, beautiful landscaping, shows and events and 24-hour security.
"We want to show the city we care. We (Friends of Hemming Plaza) have a grand vision for the plaza," he said. "We want to give it more life."
This story was reported by Ignite Media, an independent news bureau created by University of North Florida students.

* Peg Doll Leprechauns & St. Patrick's Day Sensory Box
I decided the girls needed a
St. Patrick's Day Sensory Box this week.
And yes... I have been on a bit of a peg doll kick lately
(more on them soon, I promise!) so of course I wanted to make some
mini peg-doll Leprechauns for the box!
I've been playing in it too!
We re-cycled our dry green Split Peas (from our Fall Sensory Box) as the green ground.
Then, added some Dollar Tree faux mossy rocks (from our Fairy Land basket),
some glass green "gems" from our gems and jewels stash,
and some glittery shamrocks and foam shamrock stickers
(left over from a St. Patrick's Day craft my mom taught
at a retirement center years ago - thanks mom!)
The little wooden rainbow over there on the left
is leftover from our homemade wooden toy making adventure
last winter. I like the way the girls lined up the gold coins
to make a path/walk way through the land.
The mini cauldrons were picked up on Halloween clearance
last year in anticipation of this year's Harry Potter birthday party
(that was replaced by the Pajama party instead!)
You'll recognize the golden rocks recycled from
"C"s Third birthday party (Pirates and Mermaids Party)
The gold jewelry box is extra fancy according to "C"

My Forsaken warlock alt was questing in Desolace. At one point, I run into a Nightelf hunter and a Human mage, both of them around my level. I didn't really want to fight, especially outnumbered, as I just wanted to get to the town and hand in a quest before logging off. So I wave to them, hoping they'll let me go.
No such luck. They back up and start attacking. My succubus Seduces the hunter, and I start casting spells at the mage. I'm pretty sure I'm going to lose the fight eventually, when the mage runs in and starts casting Arcane Explosions.
Unfortunately for him, his Arcane Explosion hits a nearby herd of kodo. Enraged, the kodo charge over and promptly stomp him. Then they go and crush his hunter buddy, before wandering off.
So, the moral of the story:
- Focus Fire.
- Don't Anger the Kodo!

Unless the two were putting on a show Tuesday morning during an American Idol press conference — and hell, Mariah was damn fine in Precious, so maybe? — they really don't get along. At first, they were cool with peddling the talking points. A journalist asks whether the feud is real or just the annual pre-Idol drumming up of press. "It's a passionate panel," Mariah said. "The fight is what it is." For her part, Nicki said nothing. So the room pressed on and one reporter requested that the women please say something nice about each other right now. (Remember what I said earlier? About reporters covering the Television Critics Association winter press tour getting punchy?)
Nicki went first. "I say nice things about Mariah all the time. She is one of my favorite artists of all time. To be on a panel with her, it's kind of crazy. All the singers come in aspiring to be Mariah, in terms of talent and in terms of career length … " Well, that's all great. Mariah fliched. "That was a very sweet thing to say." We snickered, and Mariah reminded the room that she and Nicki had worked together very early on in Nicki's career. "We did a song that was from my album and it was called, ironically, 'Up Out My Face.' It was one of my favorite songs," she said. "And I did feel like she was going to go very far and still have that feeling. I am grateful for anything nice that she or anyone has to say." Not exactly hugs yet, so on we pressed. How did you guys sort things out after the feud? "You know what it is? It's a distraction from the show … Time heals all wounds," Mariah said. No, really, Mariah, we saw the tape! "Oh, that tape. I thought you guys forgot about that after my sex tape came out," Nicki said. "And there it is," Mariah said.
Then it all dissolved into the whole panel talking over one another, but we used our peripheral noise-canceling superpowers to pick up on only what the women were saying. "I did nothing and here we are," Mariah said while Keith Urban, who is also a judge on Idol even though no one remembers him, pretended to introduce himself to Randy. "We are professionals," Nicki said. "It was sort of a one-sided thing," Mariah said. "No, it wasn't!" Nicki snapped back. "See? They don't want a rising star, they want drama." At some point, Nicki and Randy fist-bumped each other, and Mariah rolled her eyes. "This is what happens. Yeah, pound it out." And then Mariah started pointing to her heels. "Can we talk about my shoes? I'm sure we can all agree about my shoes." After that, Nicki rolled her eyes throughout the rest of the session whenever Mariah would speak. To be fair, that included Mariah thanking her nannies for making it possible for her to work on a new record and Idol. "Yay nannies."
And if we're being honest, as you can see in the photo above, Mariah's shoes had a weird bit of fur on top and were not as cool as Nicki's.

We want something that says we are a children's organization while keeping in mind that these donors are in the business community. For a better look at the main logo (top left of site) and to learn more about this non-profit's goals go to the following link: http://www.youthandfamilies.org/about/goals.aspx
Corporate Key - Centers for Youth and Families

Moderate, we want the logo to be playful and child-like while keeping in mind that these are corporate donors.
Accepted File Formats:
Vector Formats (.eps, .pdf or .ai); Layered Formats (.psd or .tiff)
The new logo for the Centers for Youth and Families "Corporate Key" donor program must be in line with the exisiting Centers for Youth and Families logo found at http://www.youthandfamilies.com left of site), but you have alot of freedom to make it your own.

The colors need to incorporate teal blue in the design and purple for the font, but I am open to other color schemes as alternates.
The logo must look good in B&W.

Expanding Your Social Network
Inviting Company[edit]
Life isn't all about the job, after all. Eventually you'll need friends, if for no other reason than to keep that social meter nice and high. Plus, having friends can lead to additional Opportunities for more money. This is actually Holly's actually job: to be the stay-at-home wife and mingle to increase the family's status.
Right now, the family still needs money, so she's continuing her part-time job at the bookstore. In the meantime, however, she's trying to make a few friends. In the old games, this process was kicked off by a welcoming party, a small group of neighbors who would greet you when you moved in. This is no longer guaranteed to happen—it didn't for the poor Schultzes, so to meet their first friends, she needs to hit the town.
Anyone Holly runs into can be a potential friend. When Holly went to the library, for example, she met Molly French. Any interaction at all will get you the other person's phone number. The next day, Holly took the logical step: she selected the phone, picked "Call Sim…" from the pie menu, then selected "Chat." You could use "Invite Over" to offer them to pop over for a visit, or "Invite Out" for a friendly gathering at a community lot, but Sims may decline those if their relationship is too low. Right now, they barely know each other, so Holly is choosing to Chat, because it's never rejected.
Holly and Molly chatted about… well, about whatever women chat about, something I probably don't want to know the details of. Looks like shoes, according to the screenshot. Anyway, it takes awhile before a Sim will agree to come over. You'll want to actually invite them out to a public place for a day or two and get to know them properly there. After that, then you can make an invite over. We'll fast-forward a couple days here, when Molly decides she actually does want to come over.
After Molly accepts the invitation, Holly checks to make sure she doesn't have an active debuff that could hurt the social progress. She notices that the trash can is overflowing and smelly, so she takes it out. That would have made for a terrible first impression!
Now, Holly is a bit hungry, but for a social gathering this is actually a good situation. When guests arrive to your home, they will always be a bit peckish, and as previously mentioned, relationships move very well when Sims chat while they eat.
Holly greets Molly when she arrives, then uses the Invite Inside command. Then, Holly serves up a plate of pancakes to break the ice. Once the meal is done, she chats with Molly and try to gauge what she enjoys doing. In fact, one of the best actions she can do early is Friendly… > Get To Know, as this can help you quickly figure out the target's five traits. Holly has it a bit earlier due to her Friendly trait, but all Sims can use the command eventually.
It will take a long time before Holly totally figures Molly out, but once she's got it, she'll be able to exploit Molly's traits for maximum social gain. For example, if Molly winds up having the Loves the Outdoors trait, Holly will focus her social efforts during outdoor activities.
That said, you should never sacrifice your own Sim's happiness just to make a friend. That sounds incredibly selfish, but it's pragmatic: for example, if you're playing a Good Sim, and you see another Sim is an Evil Sim, it will be almost impossible to get them to be friends, just because they'll act against each other. If two Sims have mutually exclusive traits, it's best to just move on and try to befriend someone else. Even if you did manage to make the friend, you probably wouldn't be able to hold onto him or her for very long. Some Sims simply aren't meant to be together.
Visiting Others[edit]
Unlike the previous games of the series, there is yet another option to get some one-on-one time with a friend. You can now visit others' houses! In Map View, you can filter the tags by your friends' houses, but you can still go to anyone's house on a whim, whether they're tagged or not.
Watch your cursor as you hover over houses: if the icon turns into a hollow house outline, no one lives there, and ringing the bell will be a waste of time. If the house icon is solid, then someone at least lives there: click the house then, and the pie menu will display a "Visit the [family] household" option. If it's grayed out, that Sim family isn't home. If the option is actually there, then you can ring their bell and hope to start a relationship. Here you can see Holly heading across the street to visit the Sekemoto household.
When you're invited into someone else's house, remember that you need to be on your best behavior to make a friend. You don't own the place: don't open the fridge, don't sleep in their bed, don't take a shower… Don't do anything you wouldn't want that Sim to do in your own home. Well, I take that back: if your Sim has the Inappropriate trait, they will actually get a kick out of doing that stuff, but the other person still won't like it.

Southern Africa
South America
Outstandingly dramatic, Botswana encompasses striking salt pans, diamond-rich deserts and fertile flood plains which teem with game. The north and south offer superb wildlife-watching opportunities, making this one of southern Africa's top equestrian horseback riding safari destinations. Hidden Trails offer three excellent Botswana horse back riding holidays – from luxury game lodges to the stunning Okavango Delta.
Horse Riding in Botswana
Great game herds still roam Botswana in tremendous numbers. The country has not been touched by the political and poaching problems which have plagued so much of the continent. Most of the incomparable animals of Africa can be seen here; prepare to spot hippopotamus, elephant, giraffe, zebra, antelope, impala, cape buffalo, hyena, and over six hundred different types of birds. Botswana is a country the size of Kenya with only five percent of the population and a prosperous economy.
Botswana is home to the Okavango River, the third largest in Africa. The Okavango rises in Angola and empties into the Kalahari Desert, contributing to the amazing and prolific Okavango Delta wildlife sanctuary. In the south you find the wild and undiscovered Mashatu Wilderness with its large herds of elephants - the perfect place to canter with zebras or wildebeest. We offer one horse riding safaris here – the Tuli Riding Safari .
The Okavango Delta: Africa's Last Frontier
The Okavango Delta is one of the world's largest inland water systems. It's headwaters start in Angola's western highlands, with numerous tributaries joining to form the Cubango river, which then flows through Namibia (called the Kavango) and finally enters Botswana, where it is then called the Okavango.
Millions of years ago the Okavango river use to flow into a large inland lake called Lake Makgadikgadi (now Makgadikgadi Pans).
Tectonic activity and faulting interrupted the flow of the river causing it to backup and form what is now the Okavango delta. This has created a unique system of water ways that now supports a vast array of animal and plant life that would have otherwise been a dry Kalahari savanna.
The delta's floods are fed from the Angolan rains, which start in October and finish sometime in April. The floods only cross the border between Botswana and Namibia in December and will only reach the bottom end of the delta (Maun) sometime in July,
Taking almost nine months from the source to the bottom. This slow meandering pace of the flood is due to the lack of drop in elevation, which drops a little more than 60 meters over a distance of 450 kilometers. The delta's water dead ends in the Kalahari – via the Botetle river, with over 95 per cent of the water eventually evaporating.
The delta environment has large numbers of animal populations that are otherwise rare, such as crocodile, red lechwe, sitatunga, elephant, wild dogs, buffalo, wattled crane as well as the other more common mammals and bird life.
The best time for game viewing in the delta is during the May-October period, as the animal life is concentrated along the flooded areas and the vegetation has dried out. The best time for birding and vegetation is during the rainy season (Nov.- April) as the migrant bird populations are returning and the plants are flowering and green.
In only a few days it is possible to spot 100 to 200 different types of birds. After the rainy season, when the delta is flooded, you will horseback ride across river channels from island to island. In the drier areas around the flood plain there are some good opportunities for trots and canters. Your hosts are exceptionally accommodating and knowledgeable. You will stay at very comfortable British-style safari camps and begin each day with a sunrise ride to the animals' favorite resting places. Botswana is one of the few remaining destinations in Africa that still provides a good sense of the adventure of safari. Its expansive game parks and preserves combined with wildlife as diverse and abundant as that found anywhere else, are still largely undeveloped and untamed.
Mashatu Game Reserve
The remote far eastern corner of Botswana, at the confluence of the Limpopo and Shashe rivers, is historically known as the Tuli Block. It forms a diverse wilderness of savannah, riverine forests, marshland, open plains and sandstone outcrops. Located in the north-eastern Tuli Block, Mashatu Game Reserve - historically known as the Tuli enclave - is the largest privately owned game reserve in southern Africa covering an expanse of 75,000 acres. Mopane veld and open acacia savannah stretch southwards to the thick riverine vegetation of the mighty Limpopo River.
The name is derived from the magnificent Mashatu trees, which occur throughout this immense tract of privately owned land. Two of Africa's giants are found here: massive time-worn baobab trees stud the plains where huge herds of elephant roam. Indeed, Mashatu provides a refuge for the largest single population of elephant on privately owned land in Africa. Known as the relic herds of Shashe, these elephants are the last living testament to the great herds that once populated the meandering Limpopo Valley. Today, the population on Mashatu Game Reserve alone is estimated to number in excess of 500.
Mashatu is also home to prides of lion and cheetah. Along the river courses, huge Mashatu trees provide shade for eland, impala, wildebeest, giraffe and zebra. As night falls, the bat-eared fox, African wildcat and magnificent leopard search for prey. Some 366 species of birds may be seen.
This area of history and legend is a place of exceptional beauty where one can enjoy guided explorations of the rugged, unspoilt African landscape on horse back.
In addition to the game experience, Mashatu offers a view of Africa unchanged since the days of early visitors such as Kipling, Selous and artist/explorer Sir Thomas Baines. Interwoven with this natural tapestry are reminders of man's presence in ancient times. In the north-eastern part of Mashatu, black eagles nest at the Motloutse Ruins, the remains of an ancient civilisation thought to be connected to the dynasty of Monomatapa.

The instrument has many characters such as the smooth sounds that defined the Big Band dance music of the 1940s and a raunchy edge that helped turn the 70s track Baker Street into a global hit. It is also widely used in orchestral music, but even today less so than the other members of the woodwind section.
The reluctance of many composers to adopt the instrument wholeheartedly is something of a mystery given that the saxophone was invented as long ago as 1840: four years before Mendelssohn wrote his Violin Concerto and 25 years before the first production of Wagner's Tristan and Isolde. When it is actually used in the orchestra, in pieces such as Ravel's Bolero or Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet, the effect can be wonderful. It has the power to carry a solo line over large orchestral textures and like other reed instruments the sound when soft can be quite melancholy. Another benefit of its use is that in passages when all the woodwind section is playing chords together it adds a slightly harder and clearer outer shell to the sound.
Saxophones come in many shapes and sizes from tiny high pitched sopranino saxes to massive contrabass instruments which can be almost 2 metres tall. The saxophone is a wind instrument with a reed and the body is made of brass, and so it forms a bridge between the woodwind and brass sections of the orchestra. It has a single reed and a conical bore.
At one time, there were two distinct schools of saxophone playing: the classical, and the jazz or popular. These distinctions have largely broken down today and most good sax players will be capable of playing in a variety of styles.

It's that time of year for farmers' markets, outdoor pot lucks and, of course, brats on the grill. With a bit of vigilance, you can make this a wonderful summer you'll treasure because "nothing bad happened."
The "bad" here is injury stuff. A safe summer is just like safe sex – take precautions and you'll reduce the risk. The downside to this advice is that no one, including me, wants to hear what they cannot do. There is something un-American about it. But just like we all learned in kindergarten, it's wise to be safe. So here's my big five "adult kindergarten summer safety list."
1. Food safety: Before you go on a picnic or grill with the family, be prepared. Make absolutely sure the cutting board you use to cut that chicken or make those burgers is clean before you cut raw veggies – or you may make a trip to the porcelain goddess.
The bad players here are salmonella and E. coli, which are destroyed when you cook chicken and beef to an internal temperature of 165 degrees. Pink chicken is a no-no, but trust a thermometer – it's better than your eyesight.
For Aunt Sylvia's special 15-bean salad, make sure to put ice around it to keep it cool.
While we're here, let me put in a word about mayonnaise phobia. Homemade mayo made with raw egg should never be served at a picnic because you risk salmonella poisoning. Commercial mayo has an infinitesimally small chance of food poisoning, but if you're still worried use the mayo substitute my mom used, Miracle Whip (I like the taste but I don't understand the name).
2. Grill safety: I remember when I was 8 years old and I picked up a dusty coal. Boy, oh, boy was I surprised. Kids love to explore, so put up a barricade of lawn chairs around the grill to keep those youngsters out. It just might save you a trip to your local burn unit.
3. Water safety: With two Great Lakes and plenty of tributaries, I fear someone in Buffalo Niagara will have too much to drink, fall out of that boat and drown. And we all have seen stories about some young child who drowns because they didn't know how to swim and someone neglected to make sure their life preserver was buckled.
Life preservers are the seat belts of the sea; don't be lax. And for adult nonswimmers, you just might consider making the summer more fun by learning to swim.
4. Sunburn: I remember getting burned as a kid – the skin seemed to peel off like cellophane. The new Food and Drug Administration-mandated sunscreen labeling makes things easier than ever. The real issue is finding one that you like. And don't forget, a broad-brimmed hat protects the face when you're out there swinging a golf club. Mark Twain once said: "Golf is a good walk spoiled." Think he was talking about skin cancer?
5. Insects: Every day in my office, it seems like I see a tick bite. If you're in the woods, wear long sleeves and lightweight clothing, and use bug spray on your clothes (it's safer than spraying on the skin).
If you see a tick, remove the entire critter head and all with tweezers. If you take a bit of skin, I'd say you've done a good job. Those tiny deer ticks have to stay on you for at least 24 hours to transmit Lyme disease. So that may mean taking a nighttime shower to look at your entire skin – and, yes, look at your backside, too.
My spin: Have some fun in the sun, but be prepared.
