Jazz at the Lincoln: Tenor Titans of the Capital City
The new Jazz Arts Group series "Jazz at the Lincoln" is kicking off next week with a concert for the ages. "Jazz at the Lincoln: Tenor Titans of the Capital City" will take place at the Lincoln Theatre on Saturday, September 22nd at 8pm. Tickets and more info are available here. The program will "celebrate the rich tradition of the tenor saxophone in Columbus – while paying homage to saxophonists Gene Walker, Rahsaan Roland Kirk and Rusty Bryant," with a cast of nine saxophonists and two rhythm sections – see below for the full cast. To prepare and excite the Columbus jazz audience, there is a Tenor Titans Listening Party at the Jazz Academy, fourth floor of the Lincoln Theatre, on Thursday, September 13th at 7pm – more info on this free event here. Series organizer Pete Mills was kind enough to share exciting details on everything about this concert and the new series – keep reading to learn more and come on down to the Lincoln on the 22nd!
Origin of Jazz at the Lincoln
Pete Mills (PM): This series had a few different places we were putting concerts in, and when I took the series over three seasons ago, it was "Inside Track," then we renamed it to "JAG (Jazz Arts Group) Presents." We were exploring different opportunities to present shows in different places, and we came to the realization that we really wanted to have a permanent home for the series. The Lincoln is the perfect place because there are lots of possibilities and ways we can do things in that theater. Plus, it's super important for us to be in that part of town, because the music has such history there on the East Side. And this theater does too. That's why the series is now called "Jazz at the Lincoln."
Origin of Tenor Titans
PM: So we were chatting about the different options for different programs. We did "Ladies Sing The Blues" two years ago at the Lincoln where we did a "homegrown" production. It was terrific. [This season, during] the city's celebration of "The Harlem Renaissance at 100," we decided it would be great to redo that show. Not just the same, but we'll have exciting twists and turns [stay tuned for future info on this show]. Then we talked about how it was successful as a homegrown thing – What are some other things that we could do that had a little bit of a Columbus slant to them, but also thinking big?
It was pretty simple, because we were in the office, looking across the road at the Theatre, and we realized the Walk of Fame has incredible history. Being a saxophonist, I thought to myself: "Here's a great idea – Let's celebrate the saxophone, let's celebrate the tenor, and let's celebrate its voice here in Columbus. But let's not just do a period piece, let's do a celebration of the tenor saxophone in jazz in Columbus past, present and looking towards our future." Out of that idea came this show.
What it essentially is is that – We're celebrating on the first half nine of the great saxophone players anywhere, and they just happen to be here in Columbus. We had an expansive list, and we spoke to some people that weren't available, and we wanted to get a good swath of figures who are important with JAG, important in the community, we have a Youth Jazz kid in there, so that's part of our future angle – we wanted to make sure that everybody had a voice. I think all nine of these folks have unique voices. The tenor is a unique voice, and there's so many ways in which people have expressed themselves through that instrument.
Then we thought, "We have to acknowledge the history of that instrument in our city!" And of course, we realized that there are three pillars of "tenorists" that are tremendously important, not only here in Columbus, but to the world jazz and music community. And they are: Gene Walker, Rusty Bryant, and Rahsaan Roland Kirk. So how can we do that? How can we incorporate their spirit, their music, and their voice into this production? What we decided to do is that we would commission someone to create a brand-new piece of music that would take the spirit of these guys and showcase it for everyone. We would include the saxophonists who will be featured in the first half of the program in this piece, and then we got to thinking, "If we're going to do that, we're going to include people in the rhythm sections that had direct knowledge of and influence from these guys." It was super easy to find guys who played with Gene and Rusty, and we also realized there are some folks in our community that have fun direct and indirect links to Rahsaan and certainly his music.
Tenor Titans Program
PM: That was the big thesis. And then we started thinking about how we could assemble a program that not only had a historical bent, but was going to be super entertaining. So, we know that Chad Eby is a brilliant writer, through his work writing and arranging for the Columbus Jazz Orchestra, we know our community knows him and loves him, and I know personally that whatever he writes is beautiful, deep, accessible, and swings. So we commissioned Chad to write music, and he's written what we're calling "The Titan Suite." Three sections, one each dedicated to Gene, Rusty and then to Rahsaan. I'm so excited! It's new music, great music, part of our community – it's exciting.
We also thought, if we're going to do this, it's important that it's at the Lincoln, and it's important that we reach out to the families of these guys, many of whom still live here, and see how we can include them. We're grateful that they're excited about what we're doing, and we're going to honor them during the evening. We have some family members of each of the guys that we'll be celebrating during the evening. That's part of our mission – We're spreading this music, keeping it in a great place, we're bound to our elders and we're looking forward.
Then we had to pick a program for the first half, and there's so much music of course. I decided to try to pick some music that could not only have some tentacles into the second half honoring these guys, but also had depth and possibilities for the guys that will be on the show. We're going to have multiple saxophonists on each of the tunes, and we're going to have two rhythm sections setup – one that's going to be based with an organ with Jon Eshelman, and Dave Powers is going to lead a piano-based rhythm section. Roger Hines is playing bass, and he'll be in the middle so he can be tied into both [rhythm sections]. We have three drummers – Jim Rupp, who played with Rusty and Gene; Joe Ong, who is on some amazing records of Rusty's and also played with Gene, and then James Gaiters, who has a fun connection. One of Rusty's sisters, Candace, was a member of James' father's church at one point. Then we have Tom Carroll and Kevin Turner on guitar, and this multitude of saxophones.
So we're opening with "Three for the Festival," from [Rahsaan's] We Free Kings, which is an amazing record with some amazing musicians on it. Rahsaan plays all three [sax] parts – we could have done that, but there's nine guys, so we'll have one guy for each part [laughs]. We're going to play "Canadian Sunset," which was not written by any of these guys but is a tenor player's tune. It's a tune that Rusty played, we love the recording of the tune by Gene Ammons. Then we're going to do [the title track from] from one of Rusty's records from 1970 – "Soul Liberation." Great tune. We're going to feature our outstanding young Columbus Youth Jazz tenor saxophonist Devin Coons on that. Then we're going to do a ballad medley and feature Byron Rooker and Chad Eby on the tenor. What's more "jazz tenor playing" than the ballad medley? And then we're going to play one of Hank Marr's tunes that Rusty recorded on, that Bobby Floyd recorded, that Gene Walker played, that we love – a beautiful bebop-ish tune called "Hank's Idea." And the end of the first half – there's no better tune that you could end with to open up great possibilities and smiles – we're going to pay homage to Rusty's "Night Train," from his 1950's record live at the Carolyn Club.
How the commission will flow musically is that we'll reset the stage after the two rhythm sections and the saxophonists in the middle [for the first half] to just one rhythm section. Chad has written the music for saxophone ensemble – like the Supersax band. It's going to be a saxophone section and rhythm section. And then some of the tenor players will be alto players, and a bari player, to make this work sonically really well and exciting for everybody.
Learn More About the Musicians
PM: We also thought about how can we introduce these 17 musicians? Now most people will know them, there will be a program, but there's a lot that these guys can share. So we're doing a couple things. One, we spent the summer interviewing all of the tenor players and all of the rhythm section folks, and we videotaped these interviews. We have a lot of wonderful video – Zach [Compston] is my right hand man when producing these shows, he's amazing. He has edited this great tape down so we not only have edited versions longform of each of the guys that we'll fly up on YouTube, and then we also are doing really quick hits to put into a reel. So at the very beginning of the first half of the show, you're going to be introduced to all of the saxophone players in a short snippet of time, and they're going to talk about something about themselves and their love of the tenor. Second half, we're going to present the scores of the original music to the family members in a ceremony, then we're going to show video of the rhythm section folks to introduce them to you again, because you'll have heard them already. That way we have a little multimedia, we don't have to have a narrator, and you get to know some new things about these guys.
Listening Party
PM: To get the excitement revved up for the concert, and present a little more about the music and the musicians and perhaps get some other people to share their thoughts about these guys, because all of these guys touched so many people in Columbus, we're going to have a Listening Party. In conjunction with the show, on the 13th of September at the Jazz Academy. I'll kind of be moderating, but it's going to be a free-flow of music and stories. It's going to be great fun, and our hope also is that it will share a little more stuff to the community and spurn people's interest in these guys.
PM: The other part of this series that we're excited about is that the price point is incredible! We're doing these shows with Adult tickets for $20, plus a $1.50 theater charge. So $21.50 gets an adult into these shows. That's the cheapest ticket in town, and the best value for some amazing music. As always, because we want to grow the next generation of listeners and appreciators of this music, Student Tickets are $10 with your ID at the door. Nothing would make me happier than to see 200 kids there. That would be amazing!
We think that this idea and the historical importance of this has some legs, and as we get deeper in this, we think about how many more things we can do. I'm really proud of how this is shaping up and I just want people to come.

Ekadashi fasting is occurs on the 11th day of every fortnight in the Hindu Lunar Calendar. There are two Ekadashi fasting in a month, one during Shukla Paksha and another during Krishna Paksha. Devotees of Lord Vishnu observe Ekadashi fasting to seek His blessings.


I flew home for Christmas yesterday and am writing this week's post in the refreshing Hobart climate. It's 22 degrees outside and I'm cold, which tells me I've adjusted to the Alice Springs heat more than I realised.
I never thought I'd be someone who talks about the weather as much as I currently do, but for the past two months it's been the one thing that has impacted on me the most while I settle into the red centre.
Speaking of the weather, following the rain a few weeks ago there has been a bit of water around the town and surrounding areas, and a lot of the swimming spots along the West McDonnell Ranges have filled up.
The weekend before last I went to a couple of swimming holes with some friends to see how much water was still there and partake in some croc-free outback swimming. We started the day with a 90-minute drive to Glen Helen where we had lunch at the homestead and a swim in the gorge.
On the way home we made a stop at Ormiston Gorge — by far the prettiest swimming spot around Alice Springs — for another swim.
As more people leave town or go on holidays Alice Springs has slowed right down, and the streets have started to look a bit empty. Usually it's a surprisingly busy town and the community is always thriving with activity.
We don't attract big events — Taylor Swift didn't visit and I'm pretty sure Adele won't be stopping here on her Australian tour — but Alice Springs punches above it's weight when it comes to entertainment.
Occasionally a bigger name does comes to town, which is what happened last Saturday when Drapht took to the stage at The Gap View Hotel.
Primed by our work Christmas party my colleagues and I went to the gig to hear live versions of "Rapunzel" and "Jimmy Recard" (and all of the other songs that Drapht sings...).
Here are a couple of photos from the night.
Photographically I've had a good fortnight at the paper, the highlight being the Christmas issue released today.
For the cover I organised a special shoot featuring my good friend Bec, her colleague Laura, and my housemate Laura (yes, two Laura's). I went to high school with Bec in Hobart and it's pretty crazy that we're both living in Alice Springs 17 years later.
We had a lot of fun doing the shoot on Spencer Hill and I'm really happy with how the photo turned out.
I also had a photo on the back page which I was really happy with, although at the time my subjects weren't so chuffed about it.
The story was about some local tennis players who are practising on grass for an upcoming tournament. I got three of them to lie on the ground in 40-degree heat looking directly into the sun while I tried to take a photo, it took us five minutes to get a shot where no one looked like they had just been stabbed in the stomach.
I felt awful. The photo was worth it though, right?
That's it for this year. I'll be in Hobart and Melbourne for the next nine days and then it's back to The Alice.

Q: SQLite : insert multiple value (select from) with insert specified value i'm trying to make sqlite query that can insert multiple values , here's my query that i try :
    insert into table1(idy_table1,idx_table1)
    values ('1',                               //specified value insert to idy_table1
    (select id_table2 from table2))            //insert value from select id_table2

i'm having some trouble, it just only insert one value,
and my question is how to make a proper query? so i can make it work.

A: The VALUES clause always adds one row.
(Except when you're using multiple tuples, but this does not work with queries.)
The easiest way to add multiple rows from a query is to use the SELECT form of the INSERT statement:
INSERT INTO Table1(idy_table1, idx_table1)
SELECT '1', id_table2 FROM table2;

A friend referred me to Crossroads Jobs when I was thinking about leaving my current job and finding one that was more suitable an environment. After going through their program entry process which starts with an orientation class, I met with my job counselor and we went over my resume, my goals and what my financial needs were. She was excellent at getting a sense for what would be suitable for me and had many ideas on how to start that pursuit. She covered all areas of possible needs, including interview attire, and ideas of where to get that. Within 3 weeks of resigning from my job I had a job offer that I accepted, and am happier here than I have been anywhere for the last couple of years. Crossroads is proactive as soon as they know you need employment, the staff is wonderful and their desire to have everyone succeed and be gainfully employed is genuine and a pursuit they take seriously. They help those that may find it difficult to rejoin the workforce to those that have always worked. They are a noble organization.
I'm currently employed, but I was looking for job for a very long time, but unfortunately I couldn't find anything. I was looking for something where I can make an impact on people and as well on myself and my little family. A close friend of mine told me about crossroads.jobs. She said that they help people to find jobs. At the beginning, I was doubtful that I will find the ideal job until I met Yanci Portillo an incredible human being. She welcome me without knowing me. She suggested that I do a workshop to prepare myself during interviews and so on. She was always in constant contact with me by phone and by email and always lifted my spirit when I became Discouraged. Her persistence and encouragement was an incredible boost to my moral. She helped me from the beginning to end to find the job that suits me best and I did. I found something where I will be able to help the community. I'm so thankful for crossroads.job. They are not only job seeker organization. They want to make sure you find the ideal job. I recommend this organization because I'm completely sure that they will change your life as they changed mine. Thank you so much Yanci. You rock!!
As a job seeker, my experience with the nonprofit organization Crossroads Jobs has been positive, supportive, and emotionally uplifting. The wonderful services Crossroads provides are essential in keeping our citizens and businesses in our community thriving. Their ongoing assistance with job leads, informative classes/programs, along with their friendly teamwork attitude, has helped me, as well as many others. I hope that this important mission of Crossroads Jobs will be able to continue, as this honorable community service is greatly needed in our town.
Crossroads Jobs has evaluated, and helped two people I know well. They needed help navigating computer applications, and getting beyond the machines to interviews. Crossroads staff counseled, taught, helped word resumes, and call potential employers as an intermediary so their present skills could shine. Not every interview or lead resulted in a job, but each step improved their confidence, and skill to better prepare them for the workplace. I am very grateful. I heartily recommend Crossroad Jobs.
I would like to say that Crossroad Jobs has been of great help in my job search. I had a lot of support as well as a great experience. I truly thank you for taking a time to help me in my job search. Thank you for everything you have done with me.
In these tough times when the job market is very competitive, Crossroads Job Inc. is the solution for people who need help getting their foot on the door in the job field.
Everything is going really good. Today marks my 1 year at _____! I am still looking for better opportunities all the time. Thank you for believing in me and giving me the guidance and tips needed to thrive. Hopefully we can meet in the near future for more workshops, training, etc. I am always attempting to sharpen my sword! Thanks again Carol!
I hope you are ok. I wanted to let you know that I've got a job and I am really happy for it. I just wanted to thank you and all the Crossroads Jobs team for your great support and advice on the job search and I wish you the best!
I'll take this opportunity to say a long-overdue "thank you" for all you've helped me with so far–our one-on-one meeting, the group workshops–a few weeks ago.
Thank you so much for telling me about the Stone Springs Hospital. As we all know, I was let go from my old job. I was looking for a job to take care of my two daughters. I went to the post office one day to get my letter and it was there that I saw the phone number for cross road jobs. I picked the number and I called. And I was able to talk to Mrs. Carol Smith. She invited me to come in which I did and she showed me some stuff that I had no clue about. She also helped me with my resume and told me about jobs that was hiring. Through crossroad jobs, I got to know about the new hospital. I applied for it, and I got it. And now I am so happy .Thank you so much Mrs. Carol Smith. May the Good lord bless you and your family.
It's because of your phone call that I have secured a new position with Waltonwood Senior Living!! I begin on 10/2/17 as a member of the concierge team. Waltonwood is not open just yet, but anticipates opening the facility to the public in the beginning of November.
I'm so happy that we connected and I thank you again for listening, understanding, and recommending this fair. My family appreciates you and Crossroads Jobs. I, now, will begin to try and rebuild my life, so that I can my son off to college knowing we will be ok!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart, for all you are doing to assist me. These past few months of job searching have been very discouraging. After meeting you, I am finally starting to see a glimpse of hope on the horizon! Thank you for the incredible work you do in helping us folks in these desperate times!
Thank you for your orientation to Crossroads Jobs this morning. Your explanation of what to expect during the process as well as outlining our responsibilities in completing that "picture of ourselves" was clear, concise, and easy to understand. Your gracious support throughout the process and following job placement is very encouraging. Everyone needs a "friend" to walk beside them during difficult times and a job search certainly falls into that category.
Thank you for your time, constructive information and encouragement. I look forward to working with you during this process.

Faculty Council meeting held April 13
Andrew Kinard lost his legs in Iraq but made a promise to himself that the wounds he suffered in battle wouldn't control his life: He is currently pursuing a joint Harvard Law School/Harvard Business School degree and will be handcycling in the Boston Marathon. "It's a decision I have to make every day, he said. "It never goes away, but it's a commitment that I made."
Jon Chase/Harvard Staff Photographer
Student-veteran ready for another Boston Marathon
By Katie Koch Harvard Staff Writer
Date April 15, 2011 May 6, 2019
Andrew Kinard likes to stretch far back in his wheelchair and wrap his hands behind his head, revealing long twin scars that run the length of his muscled forearms like mottled ravines. It's a casual pose, but one that took months of effort and dozens of surgeries to perfect.
"The fact that I can do this is pretty remarkable," he said, smiling and wiggling his fingers.
Today, the arms that Kinard could barely lift from his hospital bed less than five years ago can power a handcycle wheelchair — a low-sitting, hand-pedaled bicycle — across the finish line at the Boston Marathon. His journey up Heartbreak Hill on Monday (April 18) was the culmination of months of training, mostly done on stationary bike rollers in the basement of his Harvard Business School (HBS) apartment building, sometimes on the 17-mile loop of the Esplanade when the weather was nice enough.
But it also marked the fulfillment of a promise Kinard, a J.D./M.B.A. candidate, made to himself not long after losing his legs: that the wounds he suffered in battle wouldn't control his life.
"It's a decision I have to make every day," he said. "It never goes away, but it's a commitment that I made."
In October 2006, just six weeks into his first tour of duty in western Iraq, Kinard, a 23-year-old first lieutenant in the Marines, stepped on an improvised explosive device during a routine patrol. When he awoke a month later in a Maryland naval hospital, his legs were gone, and his chances of recovery were far from certain.
"My first thought when I woke up was, 'Where's my rifle, and what's my dad doing in Iraq?' " he said recently, between classes at HBS, where he is studying this year toward his joint degrees in business and law.
Over the next several months, he endured 75 surgeries and agonizing pain. He was released from the hospital in April 2007 and devoted another year to intense physical therapy, learning to control the hands he almost lost and to care for himself in a wheelchair. He struggled to regroup after the military career he had trained for was cut short.
"The hardest part about it is sitting on the bench and watching the game go by," he said of having to leave his fellow Marines in Iraq.
At a rehab session at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, Kinard had a chance meeting with Jim Haynes, J.D. '83, then-general counsel to the Department of Defense (DOD). He decided to take Haynes up on an offer of an internship with the DOD's Office of Legislative Counsel in Washington, D.C. Less than two years after his accident, Kinard was moving to a new city, working in a high-profile office, and living by himself.
"I knew that I could never just get settled, that I had to keep pushing the envelope," he said. "I never really felt quite like myself until I started working again."
The internship experience convinced Kinard he was cut out for law school, and in 2008 he applied to Harvard Law School. He was accepted and made yet another solo move to a new city.
"Growing up in South Carolina, Harvard was not even a word in my vocabulary," he said. "It's been an absolutely remarkable privilege to come here."
Not content to merely endure the rigors of law school — and not intending, he said, to become a lawyer — he applied to HBS last year and is now in his second year of a four-year joint degree program.
Throughout his recovery, Kinard searched for ways to return to sports. An extreme-sports enthusiast who had played rugby at the Naval Academy, he missed the adrenaline rush and team spirit fostered by sports and in the Marines.
Kinard started handcycling in Washington in noncompetitive rides sponsored by the Wounded Warrior Project. (He is now a member of the nonprofit organization's board of directors.) He connected with Achilles International, an organization that sponsors the Boston Marathon team of wounded veterans, and finished his first Boston Marathon last year with a time of 1 hour, 52 minutes.
"The beauty of an organization like Achilles is that they get guys interested in competitive athletics, reawakening that competitive spirit that is so often diminished after undergoing a traumatic, life-altering injury," he said.
While he misses the camaraderie of team sports, he said, handcycling allows him to reawaken the warrior ethos he learned in the military, a side of himself he feared could have been lost in the accident.
"It's encouraged, it is sought, it is cultivated," he said. "Everything I did in the Marine Corps, both as a leader and with myself, was a competition."
There's another problem with marathons: For a guy like Kinard, they're too easy. Despite a busy schedule that left little time for practice, he clocked in Monday at 1:37:32, improving on last year's time by 15 minutes and earning a fourth-place finish out of 17 handcyclers. He'd like to train for longer races, such as Sadler's Alaska Challenge, a 260-mile journey from Fairbanks to Anchorage, considered the toughest handcycle race in the world.
Kinard seems intent on focusing on the abilities he still has — a sharp mind, an intense competitive drive, those miraculously functioning arms — rather than the limits imposed by his disability. Otherwise, he joked, he'd be holed up in his apartment "with the shades drawn, crying and eating Ben and Jerry's."
"Keeping that in mind colors everything that I do," he said. "I have to choose not to think about what I've lost, but instead be very thankful for what I've still got."


The neurotensin receptors are transmembrane receptors that bind the neurotransmitter neurotensin. Two of the receptors encoded by the NTSR1 and NTSR2 genes contain seven transmembrane helices and are G protein coupled. The third receptor has a single transmembrane domain and is encoded by the SORT1 gene.
Unusually for GPCRs, NTS1 can be expressed in an active form in the bacteria E. coli. It can be purified and analysed in vitro and has been analysed by a number of biophysical techniques such as surface plasmon resonance, FRET and cryo-electron microscopy.

Delivered on time (had to pay £15 extra as I needed it delivered on a van with a tail lift to unload it) it is an expensive vault but it is properly built, it would take someone quite a long time with very noisy equipment to get into it. I've bolted it down to a reinforced concreat base using the caster mounting holes. It swallows up my drills/drivers/telescopic ladder/screwboxes/bubbles/circular saw/sawzall/socket set/site radio etc..... with room to spare. With the amount of vans being done lately I have a lot more faith in this than a van. I haven't had any condensation on the inside either. Be sure to register it with Armorguard for next day replacement key delivery, just in case!
Delivered early,and cheaper than other suppliers,will definitely use this company again..

Metal Sucks Machine Head Have Postponed Their Fall Tour with Children... Slipknot Imply Joey Jordison Was Fired for Drug Abuse,...
Tour de Force
Machine Head Have Postponed Their Fall Tour with Children of Bodom, Epica and Battlecross
September 18th, 2014 at 10:30am
Vince Neilstein
Well, this sucks: that big Machine Head headlining tour that was scheduled for this fall? Completely canceled.
The band announced the news on their Facebook page last night. The tl;dr version is "our new album isn't completely finished yet and we really need to do that." Here's the full statement if you want more:
It is with great disappointment that Machine Head must announce the postponement of our North American tour this fall. Our new album "Bloodstone & Diamonds" has taken longer to complete than expected and we had to make the difficult choice to either delay the album, let it go out as incomplete, or cancel the tour in order to properly finish and promote the album in the caliber it needs to be done. We decided postponing the tour was the best decision for the record.
We feel this record is a milestone, we feel we have something truly special here, but getting there has been a challenge. Our vocalist / guitarist Robb Flynn just returned from a press tour where he was playing rough mixes and incomplete versions of songs for the press just to try and keep everything on time for our November release date.
Refunds will be available for tickets at point of purchase.
Look out for rescheduled American tour dates for the beginning of the year.
All scheduled European tour dates will remain as scheduled.
This is kind of a weird thing to think about, but two bands on this tour are European — Children of Bodom and Epica — and presumably they already had flights booked to the U.S. With all the bandmembers and their crew that ain't cheap, probably in between $5k and $10k for each band. So who takes on that cost now? If those tickets weren't refundable (most aren't), can the dates be moved or is it a sunk cost? If I were those two bands I'd be pretty peeved right about now. But hopefully Machine Head make good on their promise and this tour goes on as planned in early 2015.
Bloodstone & Diamonds comes out on November 8th via new label Nuclear Blast… hopefully! Get details on and artwork for the album here.

Retired Military Canine Finds Hope At Texas A&M Veterinary Hospital
Viki Price and Dr. Melissa Andruzzi at the Texas A&M Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital
From the moment Jack Price was first assigned to work with Viki, a German Shepherd/Belgian Malinois mix, he knew she was more than just another canine partner.
"Viki and I relied on each other in both a working capacity and an emotionally supportive one," said Price, who served on contract under the U.S. Department of Defense.
Together, they served for two years as an explosives detection team in Iraq, searching vehicles and compound exteriors and conducting Random Antiterrorism Measures (RAMs) for any explosive materials that could threaten U.S. interests.
"It's a different relationship that any handler develops with their dog," Price said. "You're away from your family and the dog becomes your family. They look out for you and you try your best to look out for them, too."
Price developed such a strong bond with Viki that when the first year of his contract was coming to its end, he chose to stay in Iraq for an additional year so he could have the opportunity to adopt Viki if she was deemed eligible for retirement. Because Viki had a history of transitional vertebrae and hip dysplasia, typically non-life-threatening conditions common in her breed that are often exacerbated in working dogs, Price was determined to let her live out the rest of her life in a peaceful retirement.
Once back home in Alabama, they finally had the opportunity to enjoy life simply as a dog and owner, but as time went on, Viki, now 10 years old, developed an allergy to her pain medication and began to increasingly show signs that she was hurting.
Viki's veterinarian confirmed her original diagnosis and said the only real treatment possibility was surgery, so Price began searching the internet for a solution.
Stephanie Heath, Viki, and Dr. Joseph Mankin
"I saw the Gary Sinise Foundation (GSF) post on Reddit about the fund and that they had partnered with Texas A&M," Price said. "I found the foundation's website and submitted all of Viki's information; just a couple of hours later, Nick Wicksman (the GSF outreach assistant) called and wanted to know more.
"I was overwhelmed, shocked, and very thankful," he said. "They got in touch with someone at A&M and asked me if I could arrange to get her there soon. I said, 'Wherever you need me to go, I'll take her.'"
Little did Price know as he and Viki began the trip from Alabama to College Station that he was the first person to receive financial aid from the GSF fund.
At the Texas A&M Small Animal Teaching Hospital, Viki underwent a Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO) procedure to repair an early tear of her cranial cruciate ligament, similar to an ACL tear in humans, as the first step in addressing her overall condition.
According to CVMBS orthopedic surgeon Dr. Brian Saunders, Viki was an ideal candidate for the procedure because the tear in her ligament had not yet progressed to the point where it caused irreversible damage.
"Viki's prognosis related to the knee is excellent," Saunders said. "In some cases, TPLO can stop the progression of ACL degeneration, allowing the remaining ACL to function and provide important support to the knee.
"So, in a case like Viki, where there was an early partial ligament tear, after TPLO the knee is unlikely to develop arthritis or injury to other structures inside the knee," he said.
"I would like to give a heartfelt thanks to the Gary Sinise Foundation, the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine's Orthopedic and Neurology Services, Clanton Animal Hospital, Nick Wicksman, and Mr. Sinise," Price said. "Because of their initiative and coordinated efforts, Viki and many more working dogs' quality of life will not suffer just because their working dog career has ended. My family and I are looking forward to spending many more years with a happy and healthy Viki thanks to them."

There has been quite a bit of stir as of late about the movie The Secret . The Secret claims to have its origins in the mystical traditions of the ancient world. The movie does not provide much supporting material for such claims short of using several quotes from famous historical people. Before we start if you haven't seen The Secret yet you can check out the first 20 minutes of it on google .
These sacred laws were kept hidden to keep them safe from people who do not understand or appreciate them. Worse still they needed to be guarded from those who would try to corrupt them.
The origin of The Secret text is revealed to us in the first minute of the video, it is The Emerald Tablet of Hermes . What is the Emerald Tablet? Well let's take a look at The Emerald Tablet and see if we can decipher the origins of The Secret.
The first paragraph of the Emerald Tablet says that; Our actions directly impact those around us and even extend to things beyond our capabilities. This law extends to the rotation of the planets as well as to the insects that live underground. Everything is connected and has an impact on everything else.
Now how often have we thought what would of happened if I had… instead of… and then maybe things would have turned out differently. This is an example of the law at work, but is this the law of attraction that The Secret talks about?
The rest of the tablet just describes why Hermes Trismegistus is who he is and knows what he knows. Given our interpretation we can start to see how thoughts can alter the world we live in. This still does not explain the law of attraction in The Secret or how the law came about.
This clearly is not the same law demonstrated in The Secret "Our thoughts create our reality." But at least we can start to see how Newton applied the principals of the Emerald Tablet to his Law of Attraction.
Doesn't this imply that there are two more laws?
Then what are those laws? Several books have been written on the subject and one in particular deals with seven hermetic principles derived from The Emerald Tablet.
The book is called The Kybalion and it was written by the three initiates in 1912. The book doesn't say what Hermes other possible laws might be but it does provide us with further insight on how the tablet may be interpreted.
But being derived from ancient texts doesn't even give The Secret too much validity. After all mankind used to believe that human sacrifice was beneficial and that it appeased the Gods, who were of course also human. The idea behind _The Secret as I said was that our thoughts create our reality and more specific whatever we think is attracted to us.
Yes, of course whatever we think is "attracted" to us. Here is our point, if we buy a new brand X computer then almost "magically" we will start to see brand X computers everywhere we go. Is this because suddenly now that we have purchased a brand X computer everyone else has decided to buy one? No, this is because we have become more consciously aware and observant of the existence of brand X computers. There has been a shift in awareness from our subconscious mind to our conscious mind.
The law of attraction works so much to the extent that we have changed our observation habits so that we see and are aware of only the object on our minds. In this case we are now aware of brand X computers. This same rule can be applied to anything, it is not some sort of mystical cosmic law but a simple application of brain power. If we devote our attention to only seeing brand X computers then that is all we will see, we will even begin to ignore all other brands. By purchasing our brand X computer we have now trained our mind to see what we want to, and as a result it will respond as such.
To say that our thoughts create our reality is akin to saying that Pavlov's Dog created food whenever it heard a bell ring. This does not apply just to "The Law of Attraction" ,which we might add is a new term to coincide with the recent new age movement, but it applies to everything we do. When we put all of our time and focus upon a certain subject, we will see results pertaining to our focus even if it is gradual.
I get that all the time. Usually it's when I learn a new word, and suddenly I keep hearing people say it. That always gives me a feeling of bewilderment, as I never know if I've never actually heard it before or if I've been filtering it out all the years due to some weird trick of the brain.
Annie and I just saw this. A friend of hers said we "just had to see it".
Nothing new presented in the film.
I personally believe that human thought "creates" in so much as it discovers new possibilities and from that something new is brought about. Much like sending Astronauts to the moon. It starts out as an idea, is presented in stories or fiction and then humanity focuses on it and finds a solution through the use of the existing laws of nature.
As for bettering your life, it all comes down to the glass half full/half empty viewpoint. A person who's the glass half-full might tend to go after their goals more than the one who sees it half-empty and as such, increases his/her chance of achieving the goal.
As for the greedy, materialistic, anglocentric viewpoints spewed out by this "self-help" film, it's a sad state of affairs. In one part of the film they speak about something, I forget what, and rattle off names of countries, not once mentioning any from Africa, Central or South America… completely ignoring them regarding the subject.
The basic lesson from this film, all your problems are attributed to you and nothing else…so the attrocities that the Nazis commited were the Jews fault, if you follow their logic.
Oprah's true colors show through due to her support of this crap.
First I just want to thank you both for taking the time to comment.
the other day and it brings up some great points.
Yeah I caught that article the other day.

Oh my gosh you guys, you have to make this. It was inspired by my husband's lazy cooking style. He was wanting red curry chicken but couldn't be bothered chopping chicken and making the sauce so he simply fried up some ground turkey and added some red pepper paste. I tried the leftovers the next day and quickly thought of all kinds of yumminess this simple combo could make.
You don't need a lot to make this and I cheated and used a premade pizza crust.
This is my husband's diamond amongst his rough cookin. I bumped it up by adding a chopped onion, 2 cloves of garlic and some salt. Gold, baby.
I am using regular basil on this pizza but the first few times I made it, I used Thai basil which I prefer. I was unable to find any today.
If you make your own crust, you will have to increase the oven temperature.
This is my aunt Patsi's recipe and has been passed around for years. The big difference being that lobster is often used back in the maritimes, as opposed to crab. Here, in Ontario, lobster is ridulously overpriced so I always use crab. I had to post this recipe before the holidays because I served this at a party 2 weeks ago and there were many requests for the recipe. It's a delicious, easy appetizer that is a big crowd pleaser and can be made ahead.
If you are on a diet, you do not want to eat this. But it is a delicious indulgence.
If you have a nice little baking dish to bake this in, it will make a beautiful presentation.

Boston, MA (Mar. 19, 2019) – As unstructured sources of photo and video data continue to proliferate, machine vision technology offers insurers the ability to automate, scale, and enhance risk evaluation while seeing gains in operational efficiency and cost reduction. In a new report, Machine Vision in Insurance: Use Cases and Emerging Providers, research and advisory firm Novarica provides an overview of machine vision technology and current use cases in insurance, as well as profiles some emerging providers in this space.
Insurers now have access to an unprecedented quantity of image and video data. Many still manually review these data sources, but limited insight can be gleaned by this method. Carriers are beginning to invest in machine vision technology to process this data, programmatically analyzing risk factors in photos and videos and making sense of these vast image stores. Machine vision offers insurers the ability to automate, scale, and enhance risk evaluation while seeing gains in operational efficiency and cost reduction.
This brief provides an overview of machine vision technology and current use cases in insurance. It also profiles some emerging providers in this space, including Cape Analytics, Flyreel, Pointivo, Betterview, Claim Genius, Galaxy.AI, Tractable, and Lapetus.


How NOT to choose a Web Host!
'How NOT to choose a web host' may seem like an odd question...but funnily enough, its just as relevant as the age old question, 'How do I chose a host?' There are certainly plenty of hosts to choose from out there and there can be various reasons you are looking for a new host or thinking of changing hosts.
It can be for a low price - Bad!
It can be a new website designer has persuaded you that you need to move services to his provider - Bad!
Here are some quick reasons why NOT to chose a host!
Your Designer or Marketing firm advised you too.
We hear this one a lot, and unfortunately it is occurring more and more. Local Directory listing sites, SEO companies and Web or Graphic Designers are seeing hosting as a great side business and a way to make supplementary income.
But you are placing your site, your business and your sanity in the hands of a vast unknown. They are not dedicated hosts and there can be lack of knowledge and support...issues that may not happen until its too late!
Where does your designer host their sites? Is it bottom dollar hosting, in an insecure overseas data center?
Can you trust them when they say its a safe, secure and stable service...or are they getting a monetary kick back and pitching the hard sell?
Does your designer understand the technical aspects of hosting? Will they be there for 24/7 support? Or will they quickly see your support requests as pesky and a pain to deal with?
Designers are transient...will they even be around in two years time? Or will your website just vanish?
If your current hosting service has been stable and the support good...why risk breaking a good thing?
In short, don't move your hosting just because you are told too...ask your current host for options, or to confirm details of what you are being told.
This is another reason that's common in the Hosting World...well, as a matter of fact, in this case, its swapping hosts for no real reason or something very minor.
Its important to keep in mind, if you have been with a host for 12 months and had 1 or 2 minor issues, you are probably doing very well. Even if there is a sudden spate of minor issues after years of solid service, you would be better addressing this with your current host and finding out what the reason is. Moving to a new provider, can be a vast unknown.
Recently, a major host had a period of 22 days of a server being down...imagine if that was your website and emails! 22 days, no email, no customers...even Google will drop you results! It can be a disaster.
If you don't have a reason to move...put simply...DON'T! A good host should be open to discuss you concerns and issues, no matter how minor and work to resolve them!
Whilst price is important, its not the only factor to consider...in reality its far from it. The fact is you will see hosting packages with the same disk usage and other quotas, ranging from $3 a month right up to $100 a month or more. But there can be a vast difference in the quality of the server and support.
Would you by a brand new BMW from somebody online for $1000?
Or would it just sound too good to be true? Same applies in the hosting world.
The multi national hosts may declare "High Speed, Secure Servers and amazing support" but if you are paying $1.99 per month...chances are its too good to be true and you will be sorely disappointed! Some companies just don't care, its all about volume of clients and the drop off and retention rates for clients are irrelevant. They wont work to win you back or keep your business. Reliable and reputable hosts, such as Hosting-Australia.com, will quite often have retention plans...these hosts care about your business and will discuss options with you. Your are not just a number.
Overseas support centers are also a standard on the low end hosting packages. Language barriers, poor call quality and low level skill sets are all common. You may think to yourself, "But I haven't called my hosting company for support in over 2 years...it doesn't matter". But how much of that is actually due to the quality of the server and support? Moving to a new, budget basement host may mean more calls to support and more issues....aka more headaches.
Carefully assess your options, and don't just dive in for the cheapest hosting around...you will regret it!
Poor or hard to access support - Good!
Extremely high prices - Good!
Flakey or unstable servers - Good!
These are just some of the strong reasons to move hosts. As is having a support team you have a connection and relationship with. Hosting-Australia.com will work with you and be there to help you through all your issues. HA believes in building strong and beneficial relationships with our clients.

"I've found all the staff so eager to help with everything and they really care about how you are doing. There are so many initiatives to help you with everything from maths to essay writing which is great!"
One of the world's oldest academic subjects, philosophy asks vital questions about the world and how we understand it. Is there such a thing as evil? Are we ever truly free to act? How do we know what we know – if we can ever know anything at all?
This fascinating and challenging degree will enable you to think clearly, construct well-planned arguments and learn to defend them, plus give you the chance to explore ideas and approaches across the full range of topics in Philosophy.
Core modules will introduce you to key concepts and issues such as morality, knowledge, the self, logic, philosophy of the mind, the nature of reality and political philosophy. A wide range of optional modules allow you to build on this foundation to explore areas as diverse as philosophy of religion, ethics, the history and philosophy of science, aesthetics or feminist philosophy.
It's a great opportunity to gain valuable skills and question what you know and how you think.
During your first year, core modules will introduce you to some of the key issues, thinkers and approaches in philosophy, such as the nature of the self, knowledge, morality, political philosophy and constructing effective arguments. You'll then choose from optional modules in Philosophy or take discovery modules from across the University.
Over the next two years you'll shape your degree to suit your interests. You'll be able to choose from an impressive range of optional modules in areas such as the philosophy of mind, politics, religion, language, metaphysics, history and philosophy of science, moral philosophy, ethics, feminism and the philosophy of art.
Throughout the whole of your degree, you'll develop your skills in argument, critical thinking, research, interpretation and analysis. In your final year you'll be able to demonstrate these abilities, when you undertake an independent research project on a topic of your choice.
The list shown below represents typical modules/components studied and may change from time to time. Read more in our Terms and conditions.

The Department of Trade and Industry is set to release this week the new suggested retail prices of basic and prime commodities after prices of some brands of canned sardines went up, while prices of bread declined.
The DTI said nine sardine brands increased their prices by a range of P0.40 to P0.85.
These brands with price increases were 555, Lucky 7, Family, Master, Atami, and Mikado, as well as easy-open-can brands Ligo, Mega, and Hakata.
"This is heavily attributed to the high acquisition cost of herring fish (tamban) that is currently priced at P32 per kilogram," the DTI said in a statement.
Meanwhile, Gardenia is reverting the prices of loaf bread to October rates at P46.75 for 400-gram loaf bread and P62 for 600-gram loaf bread.
Meanwhile, Alaska Fortified powdered milk drink declined by P0.50 for an 80-gram pack.

Anti-robocall bill passes House in near unanimous vote
A bill aimed at cracking down on pesky robocalls passed the House
Lawmakers say the measure would still allow important calls from unfamiliar numbers – from a doctor or pharmacist, for example – to still come through and not get blocked by mistake.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - A bill aimed at cracking down on pesky robocalls passed the House on Wednesday by a nearly unanimous vote of 417-3.
"We're targeting fraudsters and scammers who are violating the law," said Rep. Frank Pallone (D-NJ), who introduced the bill.
If it becomes law, the TRACED Act would:
Require phone companies to block robocalls at no extra cost to consumers.
Violators could be fined up to $10,000 per call.
The Federal Communications Commission would be required to deliver reports to Congress on what it is doing to stop illegal robocalls.
The window the FCC has to find, catch and punish scammers would be extended.
Call on phone carriers to adopt authentication technologies to ensure the calls you are getting are from real numbers.
NEW AGREEMENT PROMISES TO CRACKDOWN ON UNWANTED ROBOCALLS
The goal is to help consumers trust their caller ID's again.
Last month, 5.6 billion robocalls were made in the U.S., according to Robo Killer.
"I got one today already," said Rep. Greg Walden (R-Oregon). "And I imagine speaking here I'll get five more. I'll get targeted or something. It's time to put consumers back in charge of their phones."
The measure follows a voluntary agreement back in August between every state attorney general in the country and at least a dozen phone carriers. The agreement, spearheaded by North Carolina Attorney General Josh Stein, pledged to expand anti-robocall efforts.
"To many of us it's an annoyance but to others it's their life savings," Stein said back in August. "There is more the phone companies can do to protect us and shield us from these unwanted phone calls."

Life-Changing Experiences That Changed You or Shaped Your Life?
Events that have shaped your life and changed who you were as a person significantly? What were these events and why did they have such a major impact on your life? Did you learn valuable life lessons as a result of them?
This is a good question but it needs a 20-volume books to write to get the picture of true and honest answers. Life is a constant change in every phase, for the better or for the worse, depends on one's unique perception and flow of thinking. There are concepts we formulated as a result of education, events, people, place and everything in any given stage of our lives...there is not one significant event that change us completely...It takes a lifetime journey and experience that evolve us into what we are in the present and more of it as we live on.
I have had many experiences throughout my life that have shaped who I am today but there is one experience in particular that has had the biggest impact on my life and on the person I have become. A few years ago I was faced with a potentially fatal disease, which I have fortunately overcome. That experience taught me how precious life is. It helped me appreciate all the little things that I once over looked. I feel like I am a stronger person and I have a greater sense of my goals and priorities. I work much harder towards the things I want to achieve and I have a much more positive outlook on life in general, even when I am going through rough times. I am able to find happiness when things are hard and I no longer give up on my goals as easily as before I had these experiences. I am definitely a stronger and happier person now than I ever was in the past.
After having been married for 25 years and raising two children, my husband and I were divorced. I sold him my half of the house and went to live in Zurich to study Jungian psychology. The two years I spent living in Europe and doing an in-depth analysis completely changed my view of life and how to live it. Coming back to the states, I created a completely new life for myself, one that suits me well.
Has anything literally changed your entire life?
Has anything literally changed your entire life?A lot of people say they've experienced something completely life-changing, but it rarely does literally. Has your life actually been completely changed by something, and if so, what?

The Scotwaste Monarchs completed their fixtures for the season with a 55-39 defeat at Workington, and 12-point returns for Kevin Wolbert and Andrew Tully.
Conditions were dreadful at Newport tonight but the Scotwaste Monarchs put on a great show with nine race winners, though we again finished pointless in a 51-42 defeat.
Craig Cook was ruled out of our match at Plymouth with a foot injury, lifting and crashing while leading heat 4, but we still took the match to a last heat decider before losing 43-50.
Plymouth have been going well at home recently, but even allowing for the loss of Craig Cook it was disappointing that we took nothing from our first ever appearance at the St Boniface Arena.
The Scotwaste Monarchs complete their 2011 Premier League programme on the final weekend of October, with matches at Plymouth, Newport and Workington.
We have received the very sad news that Monarchs' supporter and sponsor Maurice Gordon has died at his home in Peebles.
The weakened Scotwaste Monarchs put up a great fight and were very unlucky to lose the Scottish Cup at Ashfield today.
The Scotwaste Monarchs finished the Armadale season on a high note with an excellent performance, winning by 12 in the curtailed first leg of the Scottish Cup in spite of losing Matthew Wethers after a first bend crash in heat 3.
The curtain comes down on the 2011 Armadale season giving Monarchs fans the last chance to see their heroes and their long time nemesis, Shane Parker, on their home shale when the immaculate Australian leads the Glasgow Tigers in the Scottish Cup first leg match tonight (7.30).
The Scotwaste Monarchs race their final Armadale meeting of the season on Friday against the new league champions Glasgow ? and the Tigers are even stronger than usual!

Il termine facies eclogitica indica le condizioni di temperatura e pressione tipiche dei processi metamorfici che danno origine alle eclogiti. Si tratta di un metamorfismo regionale di livello medio-basso, ossia risulta essere a metà strada tra il grado più basso, nel quale si sfuma dal tipico processo di diagenesi, ed il grado più alto, nel quale le rocce sono prossime alla fusione.

Inoltre, mentre le temperature oscillano tra 400 °C e 700 °C, la pressione è a livelli altissimi, raggiungendo anche i 12 Kbar (implicando quindi una profondità molto elevata di formazione delle eclogiti), favorendo la formazione di minerali con struttura reticolare molto compatta, da cui risulta la relativa elevata densità di queste rocce (valori medi attorno a 3,5 g/cm3).

Taunting Tweets between friends turned into 140 characters of rage. Now one young man is dead and another is charged with murder. Reporters in New York are watching this case closely, because it's apparently the first time Twitter has been linked to a murder. The NY Daily News reports the D.A. will subpoena Twitter records to look for threats leading up to the crime.
