Renovations will limit tax collector operations
August 3, 2021 By Special to The Laker/Lutz News
Renovations at the Dade City Tax Collector's Office at the East Pasco Government Center in Dade City will temporarily affect the office's operations, according to a news release from Fasano's office.
The office will be offering limited services from Aug. 4 through Sept. 30, according to the release.
The renovations are being made to improve customer services.
During the work, the office will continue to provide automobile/ boat registrations and renewals, all title work (Florida title and out-of-state titles transferring to Florida), hunting and fishing licenses, property tax, business tax, and dealer drop-off and pick-up work.
The office will not be handling concealed weapons permit applications or driver license services, including road testing. Those services will be provided at the office located at 4610 Pet Lane in Lutz (referred to by the tax collector's office as its Wesley Chapel location).

Officials praise Pasco's progress
Pasco County Tax Collector Mike Fasano has personally witnessed how the area where he grew up and now governs has evolved over the past several decades.
Case in point: When Fasano moved with his family to the Holiday area some 50 years ago as a 12-year-old boy, he recalls seeing signage advertising homes selling for just $6,999.
That's quite the far cry from today, with billboards promoting $300,000 to $500,000 residences along State Road 52 and 54.
"It's just absolutely amazing where we've come over time," said Fasano, speaking during an East Pasco Networking Group breakfast meeting earlier this month, at IHOP in Dade City.

The area's reputation also is changing, Fasano said.
"Pasco has changed over time, not only politically, but also as far as the businesses in Pasco County.
"We're no longer the stepchild to Pinellas and Hillsborough (counties), if you will. We're now looked at as a leading community, and you can see it, especially in the Wesley chapel area, the Land O' Lakes area," he said.
The emerging growth in Pasco and surrounding Tampa Bay area is being felt at the local tax collector's office, too.
Fasano said the agency sees roughly 60,000 in-person customers per week across its five branch offices — in Dade City, Gulf Harbors, Land O' Lakes, New Port Richey, Wesley Chapel — not including additional services handled via phone, mail or website.
This is up from around 40,000 customers per week at only four branches when Fasano first was appointed to the role in 2013 by then Florida Gov. Rick Scott, and following 18 years served as a legislator in the Florida House and Senate.
Anticipating a forthcoming population boost, the agency swiftly opened a new branch back in August 2014, in Compark 75 at 4610 Pet Lane, just off Wesley Chapel Boulevard.
When it first opened, the office in southeast Pasco was serving just 50 customers per day, Fasano said.
It's now averaging anywhere from 600 to 800 customers daily, and is the tax collector's second-busiest office, he said.
With that, the agency also is considering opening up yet another office somewhere along State Road 54 or State Road 52 near the Suncoast Parkway "because that area is growing," said Fasano.
"All you need to do is drive up, especially (State Road) 54, it's luxury apartment complex after luxury apartment complex — a lot of them are younger families needing services, driver's licenses, (because) they're moving in from out of state," he explained.
Busy offices are not just a byproduct of the county's residential and business growth, however.
Some partly is due to word spreading that the Pasco Tax Collector doesn't require appointments for service (except for road tests) and also welcomes out-of-county residents from surrounding Hernando, Hillsborough and Pinellas counties.
Helping non-Pasco residents mitigates financial losses the agency takes on handling motor vehicle-related services, Fasano said, noting it's Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles that takes in most of those fees, and not the county.
The blanket, come-all service is something Fasano takes pride in — noting tax collectors in adjacent counties oftentimes require appointments two or three weeks in advance, while only serving their respective county residents.
"We welcome everyone," Fasano said, proudly. "We have people that come up from Hillsborough County, pleading us, 'Please don't change it, please don't change it,' because they come up there, and wait maybe 30 minutes, 40 minutes or 45 minutes, and they're able to get the service. It's either wait 35 or 45 minutes, or you wait three weeks with Hillsborough County to get an appointment."
Conversely, Fasano pointed out even the Hillsborough County Tax Collector's Office (and its eight branches) appreciates Pasco shouldering the workload.
"Hillsborough County loves us," Fasano said.
"They're happy that we're taking their customers because it's less people that have to make these appointments and yell at them down there.
"They, in fact, say to people, 'Hey look, if you need something done right now, go up to Pasco.'"
The Pasco Tax Collector is open all five days a week from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., while 4 p.m. onward is reserved for Pasco residents only.
Pasco residents also can get service on Saturdays, from 8:30 a.m. to noon, at the branches in Gulf Harbors and near Wesley Chapel.
"We wanted to make sure that Pasco residents have a day to themselves and that's what happens on Saturday, and I will tell you that Pasco residents love it," Fasano said.
He added: "I've got to make certain that we take care of our Pasco residents. They're the ones that pay our salary, my salary, and the rest of our employees."
The Pasco Tax Collector is mandated for a number of responsibilities, including providing driver licenses, auto registrations, property taxes, hunting and fishing permits, concealed weapons permits, birth certificates, fingerprints, vehicle identification checks, business receipt taxes and other services.
Fasano said the agency recently has witnessed an "an enormous amount" of title transfer on cars and boats, speculating it could be a result of stimulus dollars and returns on income taxes coming through.
The Gulf Harbors office recently handled over 800 boat titles in just one business day, he said.
"My staff tell me, after seeing all this title work on boats, they wonder if there's boats out there to buy anymore, you know," Fasano quipped.
Issuing concealed weapons permits also is bourgeoning, with Fasano pointing out the county leads in the state in terms of providing or renewing such permits: "It's way ahead of every other county," he said.
He then joked, "I think our office has armed everyone in Pasco."
Prioritizing tax collector employees
One of Fasano's more notable undertakings has been increasing wages and promotional opportunities for its some 200-plus employees at the tax collector's office.
Starting salary was around $9 per hour when Fasano first arrived to the constitutional post.
"We had employees who were employed at our tax collector office for over 10 years collecting food stamps. Unacceptable. We changed that immediately," he said.
Now the starting wage for an entry-level customer service representative is $16 per hour.
"Our employees are making a decent salary where they don't have to reach out, and probably not need a second job any longer," he said.
"I've had employees come to us and say they are now buying homes," he added.
Fasano underscored the necessity to increase wages — to keep governmental effectiveness, reduce office turnover and otherwise "to let our employees know that they are important, that they are the key to keeping our county going."
He observed, "Let's remember this, we collect the taxes, and we provide those dollars to our board of county commissioners, to our school board, to mosquito control, to water district, to CDDs (community developmental districts), to paying those at the county collecting the street lights services and the road assessments, and the list goes on.
"If we're not around, nobody can collect those dollars, so we needed to stay open to make certain that people were able to pay their taxes, and we could collect them and turn those dollars over to the taxing entities, and we've been successful in doing that."
Meanwhile, Pasco County Chief Deputy Tax Collector Tim Couet has developed a leadership program where lower-level employees within the organization are identified by branch managers and directors for training for future advancement opportunities.
"We have made it a goal that when a new position of leadership opens up, we do not go outside our offices to hire someone," Fasano said.
"If I have to go outside to Ohio or New York or wherever to hire somebody for a management position, for a director's position, or for a supervisory position, I haven't done my job.
"Two-hundred nine (employees), there has to be someone in there that's qualified to take that job, and we've been successful over the past seven years. We've made it our policy that we will hire within."

Local company is expanding with 100,000-square-foot building
A new 100,000-square-foot building, representing an $8 million investment in Pasco County, is being built in Compark 75 — just off Wesley Chapel Boulevard.
The expansion was celebrated in an April 9 groundbreaking ceremony, with Jerry Flatt, CEO of The Soule Co., offering remarks about the company's expansion. He also expressed appreciation for the role that the Pasco Economic Development Council Inc., the Pasco County Commission and Pasco County government have played in helping the company to thrive and grow.
Pasco County Commissioners Mike Moore and Kathryn Starkey joined representatives from the Pasco County Economic Development Council Inc., Pasco County government and The Soule Co., to celebrate the groundbreaking ceremony last month.

The company — which manufactures packaging materials and also medical foam cushioning — is located at 4322 Pet Lane, in Lutz. That facility will continue operations and will be joined by the new 100,000-square-foot building that is being constructed nearby.
The Soule Co., has two divisions: One fabricates packaging products made to customer specifications; the other fabricates disposable foam positioning products for the medical community.
The professional packaging division distributes a full line of packaging and shipping supplies, including corrugated boxes, poly bags, strapping, stretch films, and tapes, among others.
The medical division works closely with medical entities to design, develop, manufacture and distribute products that assist in patient care, recovery and healing.
The Pasco County Commission approved an economic incentive package worth $177,172 in August 2020, to support the company's plans.
The incentive package includes $50,000 for creating 25 new jobs; a five-year reimbursement of tangible taxes, which totals $107,171; and, an employee training grant of $20,000 for Pasco-based employees.
The project is expected to generate $4.69 million annually in gross county product, county officials have estimated.
Flatt gave the crowd a brief overview of the company's history, during the groundbreaking celebration that was recorded and can be viewed on the Pasco EDC's Facebook Page.
This is what the new 100,000-square-foot building, now under construction by The Soule Co., will look like at completion. The company expects to add at least 25 new jobs.
When the company was established in 1957, it originally produced insulation and decorative foam, such as the type used by florists, the company executive said.
Shortly before 1980, Soule shifted to the packaging industry, he said.
"Then, in about 1986, we began our medical division, and right now, the packaging division and the medical division are working under the same roof, at the facility that's right around the corner here on Pet Lane," Flatt said.
He told those gathered at the ceremony: "It's an exciting time for Soule company, with the expansion of our operation."
The foam products produced by the company's medical division is used to position patients and keep them safe during surgeries, he said.
"That part of our business is growing very rapidly," he said, adding that's because "we're able to sell that product all over the country."
He continued: "We typically have agreements with group purchasing organizations and under those organizations, they have a great number of hospitals. They do the purchasing and get the best deals for those hospitals.
"So that's where the expansion is needed right now," Flatt said.
The company has many agreements in place, but needs to hold back on them a little while, until it is able to take on the additional business.
Pasco County Commissioner Mike Moore said he's pleased to see additional jobs being created in Pasco.
County leaders want to create employment opportunities locally, so workers won't have to leave their communities to drive for work in Hillsborough or Pinellas counties, Moore said.
Mike Bishop, director of stakeholder engagement for Pasco EDC, said "the expansion work with the Soule company is one of the most important things that we do at the EDC."
The economic development agency seeks to help companies get started, become established and expand, Bishop said.

Compark 75 sold to Atlanta investors
January 10, 2018 By Kathy Steele
Compark 75, a Class A industrial park off Wesley Chapel Boulevard, is under new ownership, according to a news release from Cushman & Wakefield.
Rick Brugge, executive director of Cushman & Wakefield
The real estate services company negotiated the sale of five buildings at the park to MDH Atlantic Acquisitions LLC. The Atlanta-based real estate investment company has more than 11 million square feet of properties in the southeastern United States.
Rick Brugge, executive director of Cushman & Wakefield; Mike Davis, vice chairman; and Michael Lerner, executive director, negotiated the sale as part of Cushman & Wakefield's Capital Markets team. They represented HR Pasco LLP, and closed the deal in November.
The sales price was not made available.
According to the news release, Compark 75 is the only Class A facility currently serving the northeast Tampa Bay area, including north Hillsborough and south Pasco counties.
"It tends to attract very good leases and a high quality of tenants," said Brugge, president of Cushman & Wakefield.
Compark 75 has about 286,000 square feet in five small-bay, light industrial buildings. The buildings are about 91 percent occupied, with about 26,000 square feet available for lease.
The space could be suitable for two to three new tenants, said Brugge.
Current tenants include the Pasco County Tax Collector, U.S. General Services Administration, Ortho Technology, Morgan Auto Group and Streetside Classics.
The 165-acre site is zoned industrial, and is suitable for warehouse, manufacturing and office uses. About 105 acres is a wetlands and conservation area.
The five buildings were built between 2007 and 2016, using "tilt-wall" construction, where concrete panels are poured on site and later tilted into place. Suites range from 3,300 square feet to more than 41,000 square feet. Features include rear-loading docks, 18-foot to 24-foot clear heights, early suppression fire sprinkler systems and 118-foot truck courts.

While the park is largely leased to tenants, two industrial condominiums under private business ownership are located at Compark 75. They weren't included in the sale.
The Pet Lane mailing address for Compark 75 puts it in Lutz, but the 165-acre site is located off County Road 54 (Wesley Chapel Boulevard), about halfway between the interchanges of State Road 54 and State Road 56, with Interstate 75.
Suncoast Parkway is about 12 miles to the west. And, the Tampa Aero Park is on the park's northern boundary.
The park provides diversity to the central Pasco area, which is booming with residential and retail development, such as The Shops at Wiregrass, Estancia, Bexley, and Tampa Premium Outlets.
In 2014 owner Larry Morgan launched a $15 million expansion of the privately-developed park. Morgan is the founder of Tires Plus, and his family-owned business has several automobile dealerships. Gov. Rick Scott attended the groundbreaking ceremony for the expansion.
The construction marked the first major investment in commercial office construction in Pasco County since the real estate crash in 2008.

Amici Pizza plans stand-alone location
February 3, 2016 By Kathy Steele
Owners of Amici Pizza & Deli are planning to build a new stand-alone restaurant, with additional retail space, on Wesley Chapel Boulevard.
The new restaurant is a short distance from the existing Amici restaurant in Grand Oaks Square, at Wesley Chapel and Pet Lane.
Andrea and Josephine Mannino, are heading toward a construction start of Amici Plaza in spring with an opening likely by the end of 2016.
Pasco County records show a conceptual plan with about 3,000 square feet for the restaurant, and about 1,800 square feet for retail.
"We'd like to have our own building and a bigger kitchen," said Andrea Mannino.
No decisions have been made on the additional retail space, he said.
The site is located at the corner of Magnolia Boulevard and Wesley Chapel Boulevard, which is also known as County Road 54.
Pasco County is moving forward with acquisition of right-of-way along County Road 54 to prepare for the expansion of the two-lane road into a four-lane road at the junction of State Road 56 and State Road 54 to Progress Parkway.
The road design also would allow for future expansion to six lanes.
County records show that construction on the $46 million project would begin in fall 2018 and would be completed in fall 2019.
To accommodate the placement of the restaurant and plaza, the Manninos' requested the county reduce by 9 feet the amount of land acquired for the road project, and also requested a reduction in building setbacks.
The county's Development Review Committee has recommended approval to the Pasco County Commission, which has the final say. Commissioners are scheduled to consider the request on Feb. 9.
At the same meeting, commissioners also will consider the restaurant's request for a beer and wine license.
Construction of Amici Plaza will adopt "low impact development principles," said Stuart Artman, director of engineering projects for Moody Engineering, Inc.
Instead of an open-air storm water pond, the site would have an underground storage vault to capture and disperse rainwater. That can decrease potential flooding problems, and provides more area for amenities such as a sidewalk around the restaurant that is separate from the public sidewalk built along the roadway.
The site also places parking spaces to the side and rear of the restaurant, another "smart growth" trend in development.
"It makes for a more compact and walkable site, which the county is encouraging," said Chief Assistant County Attorney David Goldstein.

Toys for Tots collection begins
Christmas time is just around the corner, and the campaign by the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve has started to collect toys for children.
The first Toys for Tots collection drive will take place at the Pasco County Tax Collector's offices in Land O' Lakes, Dade City and Lutz. The west side offices will begin their drives in December.
Toys for Tots was created to help less fortunate children in communities enjoy a better holiday season. The program seeks new, unwrapped gifts for children and teenagers. Toys donated by members of any given community will be given to children in that community.
"I applaud the veterans and volunteers from Toys for Tots who give so much time to help the less fortunate children in Pasco County," Tax Collector Mike Fasano said, in a release. "I encourage everyone who has a heart for children to consider dropping off a gift at one of our offices. The generosity of our friends and neighbors will go a long way towards making this a special holiday season for countless kids who may not otherwise receive a nice gift this year."
Throughout November, toys can be donated to the Land O' Lakes office at the Central Pasco Government Center, 4111 Land O' Lakes Blvd., in Land O' Lakes; 4610 Pet Lane, C101, in Lutz; and at the East Pasco Government Center, 14236 Sixth St., Room 100, in Dade City.

New tax collector's office doing brisk business in opening weeks
September 25, 2014 By Michael Murillo
Any time you open a new location, you wonder if people will like the decisions you've made, and if the hard work will pay off. That happens if you're a business owner or a general manager.
Or even the Pasco County Tax Collector.
"You're always concerned about 'If you build it, will they come?'" said Tax Collector Mike Fasano, referencing the iconic line from the movie "Field of Dreams."
U.S. Army Master Sgt. Robert Knox registers his truck at the new tax collector's office, located off Wesley Chapel Boulevard in Lutz. The location is already drawing around 240 customers a day, exceeding the expectations of Pasco's tax collector, Mike Fasano.

Six weeks after the county opened its newest tax collector's office at 4610 Pet Lane, off Wesley Chapel Boulevard in Lutz, Fasano has his answer: They're coming.
The county set a modest goal of around 125 to 175 customers a day as a start for the location. But less than two months later, they're seeing 240 on a normal office day, Fasano said.
Even on the weekend, when the office is open for limited hours, people are taking advantage. The location gets around 200 customers during their Saturday hours of 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
"It's the area needing the service," Fasano said. "Wesley Chapel, the Lutz area and west Zephyrhills is growing. The service was needed there.
"They have a location go to now, and not have to travel either to Dade City or all the way to Land O' Lakes on U.S. 41."
That decision appears to have advantages as well. Purchasing land and building an office was an earlier consideration, but would have cost several million dollars and delayed the opening by a few years. And when the decision to lease space at The Grove fell through, the current location at Compark 75 proved to be a viable alternative that offered a larger area for driving tests.
As a result, the chosen location allowed the county to have the site up and running in around six months and for less than $1 million, Fasano said.
In addition to the office's most popular services — obtaining and renewing driver's licenses and vehicle registration renewals — the full-service location also handles birth certificates, paying property taxes, and obtaining occupational, hunting and fishing licenses.
And many residents are taking advantage of the driver's license testing, Fasano said. He attributes the testing's popularity to area demographics.
"We have a lot of young families in Wesley Chapel," he said. "We are seeing a larger amount of young people that we are providing that service to than I expected."
The tax collector's office could have a new service to offer customers in 2015 as well. Thanks to a new law that allows approved tax collectors to accept applications for concealed weapons licenses, the county's offices will be able to file them for residents with the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.
It should take about a year for the Pasco offices to be involved in the rollout, Fasano said.
Comment cards have revealed positive reviews and customer satisfaction with the new location and its services, but Fasano understands that a trip to the tax collector's office rarely is cause for celebration.
But there's a focus on keeping wait times down — there are no appointments — for those who need services performed in a timely manner, Fasano said. In some cases, customers might wait 45 minutes to an hour at peak times, but many are getting their tasks accomplished in 20 minutes or less.
While customer traffic can be unpredictable, Fasano suggests doing business in the middle of the month if possible, as people are often renewing auto tags at the end of the month. Wednesdays might be less busy than other days of the week as well, he said.
And customers can save themselves multiple trips by making sure they have all the necessary identification and accepted proofs of residency the first time they come in. Document requirements can be found at PascoTaxes.com.
The location's customer traffic is growing and people are using the services it offers, which makes Fasano feel good about the decisions and preparations that went into its opening.
"I'm extremely pleased," he said. "It's not only met our expectations, but exceeded our expectations."

Tax collector's office readies grand opening

The Greater Wesley Chapel Chamber of Commerce will host a grand opening and ribbon cutting ceremony for the newest Pasco County Tax Collector's office, opening next week off Wesley Chapel Boulevard.
The ceremony is set to begin Aug. 4 at 10 a.m., at the office, located at 4610 Pet Lane in ComPark 75 in Lutz.
Tax collector Mike Fasano said in a release, he saw a need for an office in that area almost immediately after he took office. The location near State Road 56 is designed to serve residents in Zephyrhills, Wesley Chapel and surrounding communities.
"The new Pasco County Tax Collector office in Wesley Chapel is long overdue," said deputy tax collector Billy Poulos, in a release. "The area has seen a tremendous amount of growth and serves to have our services at its doorstep. For far too long, the residents of Wesley Chapel had to drive far distances to visit our offices. Those days are long gone as we open what is to be the new standard in tax collector offices."
That includes wide concourses, a sleek and modern look, and close proximity to a major population hub, Poulos said.
The new office will be a full-service one that will include residential and commercial property tax, business receipt tax, drivers license testing and renewal, birth certificates, and registration for cars, vessels and motorcycles.
For more information on the new office and the grand opening, call Greg Giordano at (727) 847-8179, or visit PascoTaxes.com.

Rosberg prays to the race start god at the 2016 Singapore Grand Prix
September 17, 2016 Robin
When the circus finished their last Saturday in Europe at the Italian Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton looked unstoppable with a decisive pole lap, clearing teammate Rosberg by nearly half a second. One bad start from Hamilton on Sunday, however, flipped the script and Rosberg took the win and gained seven points on Hamilton.
Here we are, two weeks later, and a near exact mirrored result reflects on Rosberg. He performed brilliantly today and claimed pole by over half a second. Even better for the German, it's not his teammate sharing the front row. Daniel Ricciardo split the Mercedes with a stonking lap in the Red Bull. Hamilton finished Saturday P3, over seven-tenths behind. But, and this is a big but, both Rosberg and Hamilton have botched starts this season. And looking in the mirror shows us it's Rosberg's turn to have trouble when the lights go out.
Rosberg fans can only hope the German immediately dropped to his knees, clasped his hands together, and prayed most passionately to the race start god. Ask the race start god for strong clutch-bite, smooth torque modulation, and minimal tire spin. Beg for quick reaction time, or at least quicker than those around you. Ask for the strength to keep your eyes on turn-one and your mind on the exact start procedure given to you by Mercedes engineers. Rosberg, this is your chance to regain the championship lead. Don't blow it!
Speaking of championships, both Force India cars qualified ahead of both Williams. Williams currently is ahead of Force India by two, itty-bitty points. So a strong performance by either Hulkenberg or Perez may catapult the team right back to fourth in the constructors championship, a position they grabbed after Belgium and immediately lost it again in Italy.
In a surprise show of form, Toro Rosso qualified ahead both the aforementioned teams, Carlos Sainz in 6th and Daniil Kvyat in 7th. That tells us the chassis is held back the year-old Ferrari power unit. The Italian team currently stands in 7th in the constructors, 3 points behind McLaren. A strong performance could move them up.
Singapore is full of what ifs, a lot of possibilities, and a decent number of potential shake-ups. Let's not forget that Vettel starts from the back and Red Bull has its best chance of the year to steal another victory from Mercedes.

Kimi Raikkonen keeps Vettel honest, Qualifying Belgium GP 2016
Once we learned of Mercedes plans for Hamilton this weekend, qualifying lost its appeal. After all, the crew from Brackley added engines six, seven, and eight to the 44 car throughout Friday and Saturday, which means they also added a 55 grid position penalty to it. I think that means Hamilton will start in Brussels on the Rue de l'Ecuyer tomorrow.
With Hamilton's penalty, Rosberg immediately became the heavy favorite for pole, which he achieved. Yay. (All kidding aside, Spa is a daunting track and competition from Red Bull and Ferrari and Force India proved formidable, so congratulations to Rosberg for the achievement. It's his 28th, by the way.)
But with Rosberg-on-pole inevitability, qualifying did not disappoint. Max Verstappen, pumped up by legions of Dutch fans who popped across the border to watch, wrung the neck of the Red Bull chassis to grab P2, but a tenth behind Rosberg. Even more stunning, not only did Kimi Raikkonen out qualify his teammate, he came within a couple hundredths of taking P2 away from Verstappen. During post qualy interviews, Raikkonen spoke of a slow run through the chicane that cost him three-tenths during the lap, which meant pole was in reach. When is the last time we heard that from the Finn?
Spa is, I think, the greatest racetrack in the world today. And, starting from the back, Hamilton will put on a show working his way to the front. We also have unusually warm temps to disrupt many team's tire allocation decisions. It may also rain. So look forward to a stunner of a grand prix. And look for Raikkonen to perhaps stun as well. Race win tomorrow? It's possible.

Lewis Hamilton Looks For Dinner Plates After Qualifying at the 2016 German Grand Prix
July 30, 2016 Robin 1 Comment
In Q3, Rosberg had but one chance. In the opening minutes an electrical glitch forced him to pit for a quick fix. Once Mercedes fixed the car, there was barely enough time to complete two laps in succession. Turns out he only needed one. While Engineers and mechanics went to work on the German's car, Hamilton set a new lap record, a blistering 1 minute, 14.470 second lap around the 2.8 mile (4.6 km) Hockenheim circuit, the Briton comfortably ahead of everyone. But in the waning minutes, on Rosberg's first flier, he set the quickest sector one and sector three times and went on the set a 1 minute 14.363 time. Pole by a tenth. Hamilton had time to respond and attempted to do so. Indeed his sector one time beat Rosberg's by a tenth, but a lock up in sector two cost him time, which he was unable to recover in sector three. Rosberg won Pole, his 27th all-time and 5th of the season.
Hamilton responded with hilarious, thinly veiled disgust. During the post qualy interviews, he could muster no more than simple, 4 or 5 word answers to questions and refused to admit to any issue with the car or mistake in his driving. Instead of looking Rosberg in the eye, or saying his name, or acknowledging his existence, Hamilton continually rubbed his eyes and face with the white towel on the table. I can only conclude that Hamilton infuriated himself and headed to the interview table red-hot. Because circumstances left no one else to blame, emotions boiled over. It was either sit stilted and awkward, or throw dinner plates against the wall. And Hamilton couldn't find any plates.
Why? Hamilton, you're three times Formula 1 World Champion. You've won more races this season than many drivers manage in a career. More often than not, you outperform Rosberg. In fact, many fans consider you to possess the most natural talent of anyone on the grid today, a few think ever.
So often Rosberg has to take your better pace on the chin. How many times have we heard him say, "Hamilton was faster today." It's Rosberg's home race. He's fast here. He won the last race at Hockenheim. Give him this one. I read in Autosport that you feel like you let your mechanics down. I'm sure they forgive you. Now forgive yourself and take a moment congratulate your teammate for goodness sake.

'Going Galt' Is New Code Word For 'Laid Off'
Sara K. Smith
Have you heard about the hot new craze sweeping the ranks of marginally employed basement-dwelling Pajamas Media devotees? It's called "Going Galt," and it refers to when the owner of a small haberdashery in East Tennessee has to lay off employees because nobody wants hats anymore, but the owner says they are voluntarily withdrawing their productive labor from society because Barack Obama is a "looter" and a socialist.
Once upon a time, this gal who Alan Greenspan knew wrote a book about rich industrialists retiring to a secret valley in Colorado where they could all fuck each other in peace and not have to pay Social Security taxes. A bunch of Libertarian Objectivist types have now taken up her proud banner and decided to recreate this paradise in real life, even though there are basically no rich industrialists anymore, just bankers selling worthless derivatives to each other, and of course haberdashers.
Anyway, the head of the Ayn Rand Institute is urging the handful of nuts on the Internet who have solemnly vowed to withdraw their valuable contributions to the free market (doing customer service calls for Dell) to resist the temptation to "go Galt." The world needs them to fight!
In a press release sent out this morning, Yaron Brook says that "It's not time to go on strike, to leave and go to Galt's Gulch. It's time to fight. What I would call for is a moral revolution. Let's get rid of the morality that says 'your moral responsibility is toward your neighbor,' that 'you are your brother's keeper.' Ayn Rand presents us with a new morality, a morality of rational self-interest. There is a lot of fight left in us, and I think it's too early to give up on this world."
In other words, do not use Ayn Rand as an excuse for losing your part-time job at the meat counter.

CMD receives top honours in 2020 AWS Partner Network Awards
By Jeremy Duff	September 20, 2020 No Comments
Sydney, 16 September 2020
Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud specialist, CMD, has received top honours at the Australia and New Zealand 2020 AWS Partner Network (APN) Awards, achieving the Consulting Partner of the Year award. Announced during a virtual event hosted by Davinia Simon, AWS Head of Partner Success in ANZ, the awards celebrate technical proficiency and proven customer success in specialised AWS cloud solution and technology areas and industry segments.

The biggest advantage of the Android phones is the openness of ecosystem. Though the Play Store has the various Google-certified Android tablets and Smartphones, however, it is open to a number of other things as well. Google does not make any discriminations based on the content of the app. It also does not put up any restrictions on the Android devices.
It is a great android app because it helps in downloading Youtube videos on your android phones. This app has been there for quite some time now. But it is a go-to app if you are interested in downloading Youtube videos and watch them without any data connection or W-fi connection.
This is the other app that is banned by Google. This app allows you to download any file you want. This includes tv shows, MP3 songs, and many other things as well. If you have an Android phone you will surely like this. Another very big advantage of this app is that it has a very simple interface. The learning curve is also not much.
If you are Instagram heavy then this is the ideal app for you. You will be able to zoom in pictures by pressing the button for a longer period of time. With this, you can also download your favorite videos as well as photos on Instagram.
If you are a music lover then this is another app that you would love. This app has also been banned by Google. The biggest advantage of this app is the number of songs that you can download.
There are thousands and thousands of songs present in it. All that you have to do is to search for an album, a song or an artist and then get it downloaded. I would definitely recommend this app to people who want to listen to free music.
This app is very similar to Hulu and this app is especially meant for those areas that are not supported by Hulu. With the help of this app, you can actually download a number of movies as well as TV shows on your Android device.
This app is absolutely free of cost. If you spent just three bucks then you will also be able to get rid of the in-app advertisements. However, Google banned this app for may be certain issues related to copyright.
The Amazon app store is also one of the top 7 apps that have been banned by Google. Amazon is the only company that was successful in hijacking Android and then bend it as per their will.
This app actually has a number of advantages over the play store. Amazon provides their users with a free paid app every day. This app has also allowed me to play some excellent games. Now, again if you want to get some free music then you can get it from the Amazon music store.
This is an app that has been banned by Google because this will be a great threat to the world of mobile advertising if it becomes popular. This is a fairly effective app. It helps you to block all the ads that come every day on your Android device.
There are also certain apps which do not work if Ad Way is installed. It is these in-app advertisements that actually help the developers. So if these advertisements stop then you have to pay a lot of money for the apps that you are currently using for free.
Though these apps have been banned by Google, however, they are quite useful. There are other reasons for which these apps have been banned and some of these issues definitely include copyright problems.
These apps, however, help you in a number of ways and using them or not using them definitely depends on you. But if you use these apps you might also have to face some other serious consequences that might be difficult for you to handle.

This recipe stands out when paired with sun-dried tomato pita chips.
Pulse garlic, next 5 ingredients, and 2 Tbsp. water in a food processor 3 or 4 times or until combined; process 1 to 2 minutes or until smooth, stopping to scrape down sides. Add salt to taste. Cover and chill at least 2 hours or up to 3 days. Let stand at room temperature 30 minutes before serving. Drizzle with additional olive oil, if desired. Serve with pita chips, sliced cucumbers, and olives.
Smoky Southwestern Spread: Prepare recipe as directed, adding 1 1/2 Tbsp. chopped chipotle peppers in adobo sauce to mixture in food processor before pulsing. Chill as directed.
Green Chile Spread: Prepare recipe as directed, omitting water and adding 1 (4-oz.) can chopped green chiles to mixture in food processor before pulsing. Chill as directed.
Pickled Jalapeño Spread: Prepare recipe as directed, adding 1 Tbsp. chopped pickled jalapeño pepper slices to mixture in food processor before pulsing. Chill as directed.
This simple dip is a nice alternative to hummus. I just winged the amount of the listed ingredients and it came out pretty well. A squirt of lemon juice brightened the flavors nicely.
I will not make this again. This seems like the idea is to be southwest hummus but I wasn't that impressed by the final product.


The Richelieu templates are very unique. Each template can be embossed or cut out. or a combination of both. The effect has a very unique look to the finished project. Excellent templates for card making or scrapbooking.

The Blue Behemoth [Elektronisk resurs]
Av: Brackett, Leigh
Förlag: Anncona Media ; Elib (distributör)
The Blue Behemoth is a science fiction novella by Leigh Brackett. Shannon's Imperial Circus was a jinxed space-carny leased for a mysterious tour of the inner worlds. It made a one-night pitch on a Venusian swamp-town - to find that death stalked it from the jungle in a tiny ball of flame. A huge amount of money for a simple job. The deal seemed too good to be true Bucky Shannon leaned forward across the little hexagonal table. "We," he said, "are broke. We are finished, through. Washed up and down the drain." He added, as an afterthought, "Destitute." I looked at him. I said sourly, "You're kidding! I've wet-nursed Shannon's Imperial Circus around the Triangle for eleven years, and I know. It's lousy, it's mangy, it's broken-down! Nothing works, from the ship to the roustabouts. In short, it is Buckhalter Shannon's Imperial Circus to Buckhalter Shannon's face unless he's tired and wants a long rest in a comfy fracture-frame. Shannon got up. He got up slowly. I had plenty of time to see his grey green eyes get sleepy, and hear the quarter-Earth blood Martian girl wailing about love over by the battered piano, and watch the cat-eyes of the little dark people at the tables swing round toward us, pleased and kind of hungry.Somebody said, "Excuse me, gentlemen. Is one of you Mister Buckhalter Shannon?" Shannon put his hands down on his belt. He closed his eyes and smiled pleasantly and said, very gently: "Would you be collecting for the feed bill, or the fuel?" The Blue Behemoth was first published in Planet Stories magazine in 1943. 10.700 words, reading time approximately 1 hour, 15 min. Leigh Douglass Brackett (1915-1978) was an American author, particularly of science fiction, and has been referred to as the Queen of Space Opera. She was also a screenwriter, known for her work on such films as The Big Sleep (1946), Rio Bravo (1959) and The Long Goodbye (1973). She was the first woman shortlisted for the Hugo Award./Innehållsbeskrivning från Elib

Gisteren, d.d. 19/9/2002, maakte het bedrijf Guilford bekend dat uit een gerandomiseerde dubbelblinde fase III studie onder 240 volwassenen in 38 verschillende ziekenhuizen in 14 verschillende landen uitgevoerd in de periode december 1997 tot november 2000 (en nu september 2002 publiekelijk gemaakt) naar voren kwam dat het risico te sterven aan een kwaadaardige hersentumor na operatie verminderd werd met 27%. Dit klinkt heel veel en is het ook, maar ik wil er wel bij aantekenen dat deze cijfers gebaseerd zijn op het gegeven dat van de 240 mensen er slechts 11 de vijfjaars overleving hadden gehaald. Van die 11 hadden er negen de Gliadel (R) Wafer behandeling gehad tegenover slechts 2 de placebo. En daaruit is die 27% procent gedistilleerd en wordt zo ook publiekelijk gemaakt. Dat bevestigt maar weer eens hoe slecht kwaadaardige hersentumoren zijn te behandelen. Zie blokje aanvullende hulp bij hersentumoren voor een paar verhalen/tips om met natuurlijke middelen als aanvulling toch ook goede resultaten te behalen.
Guilford Announces GLIADEL(R) Wafer Phase III Long-Term Survival Results in Primary Brain Cancer Risk of Dying Over 3-4 Years Reduced 27% in Patients With High-Grade Malignant Glioma.
(p=0.017, unstratified log-rank test). GLIADEL(R) Wafer was used as an adjunct to conventional therapy, which consists of surgical removal of the tumor followed by radiation therapy.
"These data provide evidence of a long-term survival benefit when GLIADEL(R) Wafer is used during the initial surgical treatment of patients with a high-grade malignant glioma," remarked Craig R. Smith, M.D., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "In reviewing the data we used the same statistical analysis applied by the FDA in their prior review of our supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA). We believe this additional step is critical to our ongoing communication with the FDA and are pleased to announce further progress of this program."
concerning its supplemental New Drug Application. According to the FDA's analysis, the hazard ratio for GLIADEL(R) Wafer treatment was 0.77, indicating a 23% reduction in the risk of dying with GLIADEL(R) Wafer treatment relative to placebo treatment, but the reduction in the risk of dying was not statistically significant (p=0.08, unstratified log-rank test). While the FDA made other points to support its conclusion, the non-approvable letter did not raise any issues concerning the safety or manufacturing of GLIADEL(R) Wafer.
enrollment of the last patient in the trial, and the results were presented at the Society for Neuro-Oncology meeting in November 2000.
Complete follow-up was obtained on 239 patients (99.6%) out of a total of 240 patients enrolled in the trial (one patient was lost to follow-up). By the end of the long-term follow-up protocol in August 2002, 228 patients were known to have died. Of the 11 patients known to be alive, 9 received GLIADEL(R) Wafer and 2 received placebo. During the 3-4 years of follow-up, the hazard ratio for GLIADEL(R) Wafer treated patients relative to placebo treated patients was 0.73 (95% CI: 0.56 to 0.95), indicating a reduction in the risk of dying of 27% (p=0.017, unstratified log-rank test). Pre-specified Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate the treatment effect of GLIADEL(R) Wafer after accounting for the effects on survival of known prognostic factors (age, Karnofsky Performance Scores, and tumor type) or known sources of survival variability (country of treatment) and the results of the Cox models supported the results obtained from the log-rank test.
"Guilford has provided these data to the FDA for discussion," remarked Dr. Smith. "We look forward to working closely with the FDA to facilitate their review of the data."
GLIADEL(R) Wafer is the only marketed cancer treatment capable of delivering chemotherapy directly to the site of a brain cancer, minimizing drug exposure to other areas of the body.
GLIADEL(R) Wafer is a small, white to off-white dime-sized wafer comprised of a biodegradable polymer (polifeprosan 20) incorporating 7.7 mg. of carmustine (BCNU), a chemotherapeutic agent usually administered intravenously to treat a malignant glioma. Up to eight GLIADEL(R) Wafers can be implanted in the cavity created when a surgeon removes a brain tumor. There, they slowly dissolve, releasing BCNU directly to the tumor site in high concentrations, while minimizing drug exposure to other areas of the body. GLIADEL(R) Wafer is currently indicated for use as an adjunct to surgery to prolong survival in patients with recurrent glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) for whom surgical resection is indicated.
multiforme is one of the most rapidly progressive and fatal forms of cancer.
estimates that about 3,000 - 4,000 patients undergo re-operation for recurrent malignant glioma each year in the United States and approximately 8,000 - 12,000 patients undergo an initial resection of a high-grade malignant glioma.
Guilford Pharmaceuticals Inc. is a fully integrated pharmaceutical company that discovers, develops and markets novel pharmaceutical products targeting the hospital and neurological markets.

I woke up this morning thinking about scar tissue. It's not something I've given much thought to in my life. But this past summer made me aware of the potentially enormous impact of something we often can't see and rarely think about.
Five years ago, my husband, Jack, had a total knee replacement surgery. It was inevitable, after a series of arthroscopic procedures, and he made the decision to go ahead. We had heard many stories of dramatic results and great success following this surgery, so Jack was looking forward to moving beyond the inherited difficulties he had endured with his right knee.
But something went wrong. We all expect pain following surgery and we expect therapy to be painful, but somehow the pain never went away. Four years after surgery, Jack was still icing his knee several times a day, his activity was limited and we had long since realized this pain was chronic.
He saw several surgeons and no one wanted to attempt a second surgery. Some were not willing to acknowledge that anything was wrong. But one day a casual acquaintance mentioned a renowned surgeon in another state who had been able to help his mother.
Jack got on the phone and made an appointment, and within a few weeks our family was on the way to Houston, with high hopes and some trepidation, for what they call a total knee replacement…revision.
Jack's theory all along was that one of the artificial parts was the wrong size, or it was in the wrong place. But the tests in Houston indicated that some or all of the parts had simply come loose. Apparently, sometimes the adhesive used in surgery doesn't hold. So they had all the parts they could possible need present in the OR—and the actual problem turned out to be something entirely different!
The surgeon came into the waiting room and told us he had removed lots and lots of scar tissue, including one massive band stretching from the meniscus to the patella! He told us that amount of scar tissue would cause a great deal of pain, and he had taken preventative measures to minimize the possibility of recurrence.
We could not believe it! All that misery from scar tissue? Jack descended one more time into the post-op suffering and the rigors of rehab. But he told me later that he knew as soon as he woke up that things had been made right. And a couple of days ago he said his knee hadn't felt this good in ten years!
So this morning I woke up thinking about scar tissue, and how so many of us have lots and lots of it—massive bands wrapped around our hearts and our minds, and our souls…no one can see it, we try not to think about it, but it's there. It is, of course, the cumulative result of a long series of bad choices, beginning with Eve's and including our own. And it causes a great deal of chronic, even crippling, pain. We try lots of remedies that don't work and many of them just make things worse.
He is the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort. He was wounded for our transgressions…and by HIs stripes we are healed. We are healed of all the pain, visible and invisible, even the pain that results from our own sins! Yes, it is likely to feel worse before it gets better and the rehab can be fearsome. But this Physician promises to be with us for every session and that His grace will be enough. His yoke is easy and His burden is light. And we can know for certain that things have finally been made right!
If we do actually fix our eyes on Him, He will finish the good work that only He can begin. The scar tissue can be removed and it doesn't need to grow back! Is there some pain involved in surgery, even when it's necessary? Yes. Is it worth it? Absolutely!


The worst results of the new-found popularity of Sicilian wine has been the decrease in quality and the increase in prices. We see more cheap, ordinary wine that is priced as if it was something special, and fewer affordable, honest and authentic wines.
The Butera Nero d'Avola ($12, purchased, 14%) is a most welcome exception. It not only tastes like Sicilian wine, but the nero d'avola grape is the main focus. It's not blended with merlot or cabernet sauvignon to achieve something that it's not. Instead, look for cherry aromas, the dark and earthy plum fruit that I don't find often enough anymore, and a little baking spice. Also surprising: the length, where the wine doesn't disappear in your mouth after the first couple of sips.
This is a food wine – fresh, yes, and especially for a wine this old, but also substantial. It's stews and red meat braises and almost any sort of warming autumn dinner.
To be honest, I didn't expect this quality. Butera is owned by Zonin, a large Italian producer, and Butera is just one of its 10 labels. But, as always, taste the wine before you judge it.

A shared imitation: Cistercian convents and crusader families in thirteenth-century Champagne
Anne E. Lester (Department of History, University of Colorado at Boulder)
Journal of Medieval History: 35:4 (2009)
This article examines the relationship between Cistercian nunneries and the crusade movement and considers the role of gender in light of the new emphasis on penitential piety and suffering prevalent during the thirteenth century. Focused on evidence from the region of Champagne in northern France, it argues that female family members of male crusaders adopted Cistercian spirituality as a means of participating in the experience of suffering and the pursuit of the imitation of Christ that had come to be associated with the act of crusading. The connection between Cistercian nuns and crusaders was further strengthened during this period as the Cistercian order expanded its liturgy to include specific rounds of prayers for success in the east and in southern France, for Jerusalem, and for the well-being of crusaders. Many crusader families in Champagne founded Cistercian nunneries to function as family necropolises, further sharpening the connections between crusaders, memory, and suffering as experienced in female Cistercian houses.
Over the past three decades medievalists have recast the history of the crusades in significant ways, asking new questions about who joined the movement, how each expedition differed, and expanding the sources for such a history. As a consequence, crusade studies have broadened our understanding of the undertaking, defining the crusades as a much larger religious movement, which extended beyond the limits of the middle ages strictly speaking and which informed conceptions of medieval Christendom both along its borders and within its bounds.1 Acknowledging the crusades as a religious movement rather than a military expedition or series of campaigns also meant compassing its reverberations and effects within Europe and specifically among the families and social networks that fostered and supported crusaders.2 Jonathan Riley-Smith, Marcus Bull and others have shown persuasively that crusaders cannot be extracted from their kin. Rather, families often promoted crusading over generations. Habits of aristocratic patronage linked crusaders with local religious houses, hospitals and family members long after their departure and return.3 Moreover, by the thirteenth century, the crusade movement became ever more entwined with contemporary notions of penitential piety and ideas of self-sacrifice and suffering that were integral to the practice of the imitatio Christi, or imitation of Christ, one of the central spiritual ideals of the high middle ages.

**Tazama aya zifuatazo. Ni jambo gani moja liongelewalo na aya hizi zote; nalo hutufundisha nini kuhusu hali ya agano?**

`Mwanzo 18:19`

`Mwanzo 26:4, 5`

`Kutoka 19:5`

`Walawi 26:3`

Mungu alikiri waziwazi uaminifu wa Ibrahimu kwa sababu "alisikia sauti yangu, akayahifadhi maagizo yangu, na amri zangu, na hukumu zangu, na sheria zangu." (Mwanzo 26:5). Inaonesha kuwa Mungu alitarajia itikio la jinsi hiyo kutoka kwa mbia wake mwanadamu katika agano. Tamko zima la agano la kibiblia pale Sinai huweka wazi kuwa utii ni sharti muhimu katika agano.

Kutoka 19:5 hutamka kuwa, "iwapo utatii ..... " Kuwepo masharti katika agano ni jambo lisiloepukika, japokuwa imetolewa kwa neema, japo si kwa juhudi zetu, ni zawadi, kamwe ahadi za agano hazikutolewa kwa shuruti. Watu walikuwa huru kuweza kuikataa zawadi hiyo, na kuzigeuzia kisogo ahadi hizo.

Agano, kama ilivyo kwa wokovu, kamwe havipuuzii uhuru wa uchaguzi wa mtu. Mungu hawashurutishi watu kuingia katika uhusiano wa wokovu naye; hashinikizi agano juu yao. Humpatia kila mmoja kwa uhuru kabisa; kila mmoja anaalikwa kupokea kwa hiari yake. Iwapo anakubali, masharti hufuata, siyo kama masharti ya kupokea mibaraka ya agano, ila kama udhihirisho wa nje wa upokeaji wa baraka hizo za agano. Israel anapaswa kutii, siyo ili astahili kupata baraka hizo za ahadi, ila ili ahadi hizo zitimilike kwake.

Utii wake ni udhihirisho wa kile kimaanishacho kubarikiwa na BWANA. Utii hautustahilishi kupokea baraka, ikimaanisha sharti atupatie; utii, badala yake, huweka mazingira mazuri ambapo mibaraka ya imani yaweza kudhihirishwa.

`"Endeni njia yote aliyowaagiza Bwana, Mungu wenu, mpate kuwa hai, na kufanikiwa, mkafanye siku zenu kuwa nyingi katika nchi mtakayoimiliki." (Kumb. 5:33). Je, BWANA anasema kuwa Israeli endapo watatii watastahili mibaraka hiyo, kwamba mibaraka hiyo ni mshahara kwao? Au analosema ni kuwa: Iwapo watatii, mibaraka hii itakuwa yenu kwa vile utii hufungua njia kwangu kuweza kuwaletea mibaraka? Ni nini tofauti katika mitazamo hiyo miwili?`

So tonight after a long day filming Enorme TV with Unscarred (Where I met Gus G briefly) I left and went to see The Aristocrats rock the house at a venue I had never visited before. Le Zébre de Belleville is fun and unique place to see a show. I especially liked the gigantic eponymous zebra that hung behind the performers After a decent length interview with Guthrie Govan and a short talk with Bryan Beller about the latest release from Ephel Duath, it was time for the show to start, after a brief, but excellent opening act, The Aristocrats came on ready to rock the house.
Now, I've been to see The Aristocrats before, but that was pretty shortly after they had formed. They mostly kept to the song structures, and while there was jamming it was mostly kept within the confines of the song. Furthermore, the band played a lot of stuff from their members solo records. All of this was cast aside, The Aristocrats have come together and are now more than just some dudes who play technical music. These are jamming lords who are crafting top notch songs that touch the hearts of people. Tonight the band brought forward a new power I had not thought they had.
Throughout their 12 song set their were all manner of fun and games, showing the incredible skill of the band. Be it in their performances of songs using squeeze toys ( I kid you not), or their charming stories that on one occasion resulted in an impromptu Slayer cover. There is an indomitable might to this band that shows that no matter what they can not be stopped. With a set filled with high powered songs and all sorts of wonderful flourishes, these guys are easily among the best in the world at their respective instruments. Seeing The Aristocrats play is a spectacle and a wonderful treat.
Tonight, I witness something incredible, a testament to the fabulous and beautiful power of music. These three gentlemen are musical lords, crafting legendary jams of the sort that will be spoken about for generations. The Aristocrats are more than just a weird and fun jazz fusion band with a twisted sense of humor, they are masters who are finding new paths in the strange and magnificent world of heavy music. Music that could appeal to the masses as well as the jazz enthusiast, this is more than just rock and roll, this is pure and undiluted aural triumph.

From the color of a politician's tie, to exorbitantly costly haircuts, to the size of an American flag pin adorning a lapel, it's no secret that style has political meaning. And there was no time in history when the politics of fashion was more fraught than during the French Revolution. In the 1790s almost any article of clothing could be scrutinized for evidence of one's political affiliation. A waistcoat with seventeen buttons, for example, could be a sign of counterrevolution—a reference to Louis XVII—and earn its wearer a trip to the guillotine. In Dandyism in the Age of Revolution, Elizabeth Amann shows that in France, England, and Spain, daring dress became a way of taking a stance toward the social and political upheaval of the period. France is the centerpiece of the story, not just because of the significance of the Revolution but also because of the speed with which its politics and fashions shifted. Dandyism in France represented an attempt to recover a political center after the extremism of the Terror, while in England and Spain it offered a way to reflect upon the turmoil across the Channel and Pyrenees. From the Hair Powder Act, which required users of the product to purchase a permit, to the political implications of the feather in Yankee Doodle's hat, Amann aims to revise our understanding of the origins of modern dandyism and to recover the political context from which it emerged.

During his 40-year career, the author became one of the industry's most respected television editors, receiving seven Emmy nominations and winning four of the coveted awards. But it was as a master of the jump cut—an editing style in which a sudden cut from one shot to another is made without a fadeout—that he is most remembered, and the term became his nickname. Mr. Schneider worked on many of Bob Hope's shows over the years, but it was for Laugh-In that he fully developed his editing style. This is a behind-the-scenes look at the development of television, from the days when some editing was done with a razor blade and tape to the electronic editing of today. Along the way, Mr. Schneider remembers the stars he worked with, from Gene Kelly to Redd Foxx.
