John Mayer is an American, Grammy Award-winning musician.
John Mayer was raised in Fairfield, Connecticut by his mum, Margaret - and English teacher - and his father Richard - a high school principal.
Whilst attending Fairfield High School, John Mayer befriended the tennis player James Blake. He briefly played the clarinet, but became obsessed with learning to play the guitar after watching Michael J. Fox's performance as Marty McFly in Back to the Future. When his neighbour gave him a Stevie Ray Vaughan cassette tape, Mayer's love for the blues was born. His passion and determination for the instrument led him to be so singularly focused that his parents took him twice to see a psychiatrist.
Mayer started playing in blues bars whilst he was still at school, both solo and as a member of a band named Villanova Junction (named after a Jimi Hendrix song). After graduating from school, John Mayer worked in a gas station until he had saved up enough money to purchase a 1996 Stevie Ray Vaughan Stratocaster. When he was 19, he enrolled in Boston's Berklee College of Music. However, he left after two terms, to move to Atlanta with his friend Clay Cook, where they formed a two-piece band named LoFi Masters.
John Mayer recorded an EP, Inside Wants Out, with many of the songs co-written by Clay Cook in 1999. The EP included Mayer's debut commercial single release, 'No Such Thing'.
In 2000, John Mayer performed at the influential SXSW (South By Southwest) festival and caught the eye of Aware Records, who included him in their Aware Festival line-up. The following year, Aware released John Mayer's debut album, the internet-only release Room For Squares. The album was then picked up by Columbia Records, remixed and re-released on a wider scale.
The album spawned a number of hits, including 'Your Body Is A Wonderland', 'Why Georgia' and 'No Such Thing' and Mayer went on to win a Grammy Award for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance.
2003 saw John Mayer release a live CD and DVD of his Birmingham, Alabama concert, entitled 'Any Given Thursday'. Later that year, Mayer's second album, Heavier Things, was released and reached number on in the US album charts. Mayer also earned his first number one single, with 'Daughters', which also earned him the 'Song of the Year' gong at the Grammy Awards, beating both Alicia Keys and Kanye West to the title. He also beat Prince, Seal and Elvis Costello to that year's 'Best Male Pop Vocal Performance' award.
John Mayer has collaborated with a diverse range of artists, including Kanye West and Common and has been praised by hip-hop heavyweights Nelly and Jay-Z. He has also worked with Eric Clapton, Buddy Guy, Ben Harper, Herbie Hancock and BB King. Similarly, he has toured with a wide range of bands, including Maroon 5, Paramore, Counting Crows and Ben Folds.
The John Mayer Trio was formed in 2005, with Mayer, Steve Jordan (drums) and Pino Palladino (bass). The band opened for the Rolling Stones and released a live album entitled Try!. John Mayer's third studio album was released in September 2006 and was entitled Continuum. The track 'Gravity', which Mayer considers to be his career masterpiece, was included on this album.
In February 2007, John Mayer was featured on the cover of Rolling Stone's 'New Guitar Gods' feature along with Derek Trucks and John Frusciante.
2008 saw the release of Where The Light Is, a live performance by John Mayer at LA's Nokia Theatre.
Mayer performed an instrumental version of 'Human Nature' at Michael Jackson's memorial service.
Battle Studies was John Mayer's fourth studio album, released in 2009. The album debuted at number one in the US and the lead single was 'Who Says', followed by 'Heartbreak Warfare'.
In 2002, John Mayer briefly dated the actress Jennifer Love Hewitt. He has also dated Jessica Simpson as well as the actresses Minka Kelly and Jennifer Aniston.
Mainstream acceptance may still be eluding John Mayer in the UK, but it's pleasing to see that without chart success this side of the pond that the 39 year-old can still effortlessly fill London's O2 Arena on two consecutive nights. The second of these dates marked a hiatus in Mayer's The Search For Everything world tour, as he'll take a break over the summer to tour again with the Grateful Dead in the States. Perhaps it was a point of reflection on the tour as the set list was dramatically changed from the previous evening, resulting in a crowd-pleasing and occasionally exhilarating performance that the band also seemed to enjoy thoroughly.
The Search For Everything is a more eclectic album for Mayer, retreating somewhat from the foray into 1970's Californian Laurel Canyon Rock that he's recently undertaken. The accompanying tour seems to underline that attitude by delving deeper into his back catalogue in an effort to compliment his new compositions. That's also the key to why there are so few staple songs in the set, this isn't an opportunity to roll out the 'Greatest Hits' for Mayer, rather a chance to create a narrative with all the musicians at his disposal. There's a distinctly novelistic approach to the screens that sub-divide the set (five chapters including an epilogue), but the structure that's employed feels purposeful rather than pompous, leading the audience through a well-curated trip down memory lane.
The opening chapter featured Mayer's full six-piece band and indicated just how important Continuum is as a sibling to his newest record. Featuring 'Waiting On The World To Change' at the top of the show also felt like a sly political statement, especially when complimented by new song 'Helpless', but regardless of the narrative being built Mayer was already having fun, taking a brief opportunity to play solo with his friend Steve Jordan on drums early on. Three of the five songs played during the full band's introduction were new, but over the entire two-hour show it was older material that started to take centre stage. This shift was most apparent during the second chapter, an acoustic performance by Mayer, featuring rare outings for 'Walt Grace's Submarine Test', a cathartic 'Stop This Train', and an early appearance for 'Neon'.
A fan was left in a critical condition after a fall whilst attending The Grateful Dead's farewell concert on Sunday (5th July).
The Grateful Dead's farewell show has been hailed as a success, both in terms of their performance and financial gain, yet there was also an unpleasant incident involving one of their fans. The legendary rock group performed their last concert together as The Grateful Dead on Sunday (5th July) where a fan was rushed to hospital after a fall in Soldier Field arena, Chicago.
The Grateful Dead performed together for the last time on Sunday (5th July).

During a recent interview, the singer-songwriter was only complimentary about the 25-year-old songstress, who he dated briefly back in 2010.
John Mayer is known to be quite the lothario as he has had a string of high-profile relationships in the past, one of them being with Taylor Swift back in 2010, but many may be surprised that the 37-year-old singer-songwriter is very happy to talk about his former flame.

"Don't Grow Weary…" It's NEVER too Late to do the Right Thing!
This is in reply to an article on FB today by Joshua Kenneth Verhagen where he was telling us who supported Independent 2016 Presidential candidate Evan McMullin to not feel bad because Evan McMullin didn't win; but rather to "Not grow weary in doing good, for in due season you shall reap, if you do not give up!" (Galatians 6:9) Just as Evan McMullin himself is doing; continuing to do right, beautifully boldly speaking up against evil, especially of those in power, and where it appears to be leading into things getting WORSE, MUCH WORSE!!
Right on! Very ENCOURAGING words, especially knowing what you quoted is scripture. (Galatians 6:9) What God says!! God HONORS (causes to work; in His perfect timing!) us doing in accordance with what His Word says. God is pleased when we take a stand for 'what is right' – ALWAYS!!
That is what the lad David counted on when he went up against the Giant Goliath AND the vicious Philistine Army (which Israel, at that time, COULD NOT beat!) right behind him!! (1 Samuel 17) This is just one (of course, TRUE) story throughout the Bible of what is really a major theme throughout God's Word – that God will bring VICTORY (success!!) if we TRUST HIM, and 'take a stand' for what is right!! In due time, GOD WILL even miraculously (as our Founding Fathers spoke of – then using the term 'Providential' referring to the 'Hand of God' intervening and bringing success. Not 'chance'!) bring success!! We who know God and His Word, KNOW it will happen EVERY TIME!!
Yes, Joshua, you are right; encouraging us to work at doing good with a mentality of it as an ongoing, even long term, thing. I know one major reason is because God is often changing minds, bringing leaders and their countries into the TRUTH (Hurray! ) the wonderful knowledge of what is right, true, good, moral, loving, joyful – what people REALLY want! And GOD wants for ALL people!! And for ALL to be free to know Him!
Know God personally by being 'CONVINCED' of the Truth about Him & the Bible; not by THREATS! Truth I came into at 27 yr old. What Love & Joy!
No coercion!! That's NOT God!!
I believe our US Constitution was inspired by God!! Gov't created for the purpose of PROTECTING our God-given rights, which are for ALL mankind!
FREEDOM of Religion, FREEDOM of Speech, FREEDOM of Press, FREEDOM to peaceably assemble, .. HURRAY!! Yes, Joshua, you are right!! When we do what is right, and often 'against all odds' (except for God coming thru!), it is ALWAYS worth it!! BUT very often, God is taking time to bring a full VICTORY because of ALL that He wants to accomplish in the process!
As with David, God had him outside of his own nation of Israel for 7 years before He brought him into being the new King of Israel. It was a time of education and growth both for David, and for the whole country – whose Military had been scared of the Giant Goliath & the vicious Philistine Army! (as Russia, China, Iran Nukes, N Korea). During those 7 years, Israel LEARNED it was a BINARY choice!! But NOT 'the lesser of two evils' as they had thought (Got to read the story! (1 Samuel 17) The Philistines offered Israel a deal! Lose or Lose!
But by the time God moved David into being King of Israel, the country had LEARNED to do as the lad David had done 7 years earlier! — TRUST GOD and WIN, no matter what the odds! Every time!
Binary = Good or Bad; Liberty 🙂 or Tyranny !
That's the real BINARY choice!
Stick with GOD, as our Founding Fathers did!
And, as His Word promises, He will ALWAYS bring SUCCESS!!
"If we do not grow weary in doing GOOD…" (Galatians 6:9) It may take time!
Evan McMullin said he prayed before he agreed to offer his name as an Independent candidate for the 2016 Presidential race. I believe Evan heard God!
A saying of Evan's that I believe also became a saying of his many supporters during his campaign "It's never too late to do the right thing" got strongly birthed into our hearts!
I believe it is a saying that Evan McMullin has lived by, and has been able to live by, because of his relationship with God!
Donald Trump, whom God loves, does not represent 'what is right', for the most part.
BUT we who know God, KNOW He truly IS mightily at work! We recognize the Providential; and are able to work right along with God!
God cares about America! But He also cares about all the world!
Let's "Not grow weary in doing good", but joyfully keep WORKING RIGHT ALONG WITH GOD!! HE will, day by day, bring success! Small, and LARGE!! – for sure!!
Be PATIENT! GOD LOVES US — ALL!

The Ellis County Detachment 1452 was founded (Chartered by the Marine Corps League national headquarters) in May of 2017 and is based out of Ennis, Texas. The Detachment has seven (7) Board of Trustees with forty three (43) members (Regular and Associates) as of November 1, 2018. The Marine Corps League, along with all of its subordinate organizations (detachments) are individually registered as 501 (c)(4) nonprofit organizations within the Internal Revenue Code of the Internal Revenue Service. Being registered with the Internal Revenue Service, the national headquarters of the Marine Corps League has a Group Exemption (Group Exemption Number: 0955) which allows all donations to our Detachment to be tax-exempt as with any 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization. As a nonprofit organization we are also incorporated within the State of Texas as our own corporate entity. Lastly, we are registered with the Texas Secretary of State as a Veterans Organization Solicitor allowing us to legally collect donation funds from the community.
The Ellis County Detachment 1452 reached its Platinum GuideStar Nonprofit Seal of Transparency on Saturday, Oct. 13, 2018. By sharing metrics that highlight progress, the Ellis County Detachment 1452 is making toward its mission, the organization is helping donors move beyond simplistic ways of nonprofit evaluation such as overhead ratios. By updating our GuideStar Nonprofit Profile to the highest level possible, Platinum level, we can now easily share a wealth of up-to-date organizational metrics with our supporters as well as GuideStar's immense online audience, which includes donors, grant makers, our peers, and the media!
The Ellis County Detachment 1452 was founded in 2017 by Marines looking to gather the vast number of Marines that the County has among its residents. It wasn't clear how the Marines would take the initial suggestion of creating a Detachment, but once "Attention on Deck" was called and the Marines had gathered to prepare for the mission ahead it was clear that the Marines had landed and the objective would soon be taken. Robert Bell, who founded the Detachment, has stated that, "Marines have too much leadership expertise and operational experience to be sitting on the sidelines not utilizing the skills that they honed while in the Corps. All of these skill-sets can be harnessed for the benefit of our fellow Veterans and our communities that we reside. Any one of us could start a club, but if we are going to do something great and make a difference in the lives of our Veterans then we need to do this with them in mind."
From the Detachment's conception its members have wanted the organization to be a place where Marines can go for fellowship, camaraderie and support without the stigma of it being just a social club. One topic of discussion was that the vast majority of our members don't smoke or drink; however, some do, and that's okay. Though our members like to fellowship with each other at various functions and reminisce about the good times of the past, business still has to be conducted in order to accomplish our mission and purpose, which is to preserve the traditions and promote the interests of the Marine Corps by banding together those who are now serving in the Corps and those who have been honorably discharged, that we may effectively promote the ideals of American freedom and democracy, voluntarily aiding and rendering assistance to all Marines, their widows and orphans; and to perpetuate the history of the Corps. And, by fitting acts to observe the anniversaries of historical occasions of particular interest to Marines.
We have a lot to look forward to in the years to come and these crucial first few years will establish our baseline in what we stand for and what our true intentions are, in relation to helping Veterans out any way we can. We have started our Military Funeral Honors, Honor Guard, which includes our Firing Party that will be able to honor our fallen and deceased Service members and Veterans at their graveside funeral or at their Memorial Service, at the family's request. If a family is interested in this service, which is FREE OF CHARGE to the family and the funeral home, they would need to talk to the Funeral Director to request the service. We have also established our Detachment Color Guard that will represent not only the Detachment, but the Marine Corps and our National Flag in any event that it is involved.
We are excited for what is to come and we ask that any Marines in the County look into our Detachment and hopefully you will be pleasantly surprised.

The past two weeks we've celebrated Thanksgiving with Daniel's family. We've tried to keep up with school work. We've had a band concert. All six children participated in a Christmas ballet, Immanuel, The Promise. We've decorated for Christmas. We've continued our music lessons. We've attended some very fun social events. We've enjoyed being a family. We're reading a wonderful book at night called Jotham's Journey – a precious advent story that leaves the children exclaiming, "PLEASE don't stop reading! What happens next?!? I love reading good books together, especially at Christmas time!
Still to go… a piano recital, a choir concert, two Monday nights of gavel club, a family ball, our Christmas Eve service in which two of my daughters are dancing, and of course, Christmas Day!
I have not cleaned my house in two weeks. My desk is a mess. I need to go to the store. I've not done my yearly Christmas letter. I've not bought a single gift. I've not made a single Christmas cookie. I have, however, made a cake with Bethany for Jesus's birthday party that our small group was suppose to have had tonight.
But we didn't. No, instead, my husband pulled off a huge surprise party for my 40th birthday, which is coming up in just a few days. I was very blessed. Folks are busy in December and I certainly didn't expect our annual Happy Birthday Jesus party to be a Happy Birthday, Tina party! Something about that just seems wrong but Daniel has assured me that Jesus is ok with it. My dear friend, Laura, insisted our small group party would be at her house and I was thrilled not to host after a full weekend of ballet! When I walked into her lovely home tonight, I first noticed a table full of beautiful food – not typical of our casual small group meetings. Before I could get my thoughts wrapped around the need for such a spread, many of my dearest friends in the world in unison exclaimed, "Happy Birthday!" Was I surprised? Yes, most definitely!
My in-laws and brother-in-law sent in poems and songs, a Jobe family tradition for special birthdays. My friends shared sweet memories and words that I will cherish as I enter this new decade. Thank you, sweet friends and family, for making my day special! I love you!
And Jesus, I have whined in the past about having a December birthday – the busiest month of the year; a month that is hard to find a day to celebrate me. Sounds pretty self-centered when I put it that way. Yet, having a December birthday is an honor. Christmas music plays. Storybooks lie on my table about your miraculous birth. Angels adorn my tree. Red and green are all around – reminders of the greatest gift ever given and everlasting life. And it is during this time, that I turn a year older. Thank you for my December birthday. And thank you, this year, for sharing your cake with me!

I can't believe you have a December birthday…because I do too! LOL!
YAY! I so wish I could've been there, but we are stilled stuck after arriving home Saturday night! I'm so glad it was a wonderful evening. You are so special and have touched the lives of so many! Happy Birthday!
So beautiful!!! Now I can read things that you post!!! Our internet is back!!
Happy Birthday! You have some special people in your life!

Q: React Native FlatList jumps to the top when adding new items I'm trying to add an Infinite Scroll feature to a FlatList:
<FlatList
   data={pickupsGroups}
   renderItem={({item , index}: {item: PickupGroup, index: number}) => {
                    return <PickingCard group={item} onPress={onPressPickup}/>
   }}
   onRefresh={onRefresh}
   keyExtractor={item => `${item?.title}-${item?.totalSku}`}
   refreshing={refreshing}
   onEndReached={() => {
     setPage(page + 1)
   }}
   onEndReachedThreshold={0.1}
/>

when the page changes, I run a GraphQL query:
    const {loading} = useQuery(MY_GROUPS, {
        variables: {limit: 10, page},
        fetchPolicy: "network-only",
        onCompleted: data => {
            setPickupsGroups(pickupsGroups.concat(data.myPickupGroups.pickupGroups))
        }
    })

But every time I add new items to pickupGroups, the FlatList scrolls back to the top

A: Actually when you call method setPickupsGroups in onCompleted Method, it causes screen to re-render, try using a global variable for pickUpGroups, or if you are using apollo graphQL, then from your graphQL server try sending hasMore, and in app side call fetchMore Update Query which will not cause your screen to re-render and it won't scroll to top..

The Kingdom of Morocco is an African state located at the most westerly region of the Arab world, known as the Maghreb (the west). It borders Algeria and the western Sahara, and the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean on its coasts. Morocco became independent in 1956 and was established as a constitutional monarchy that is directly descended from the Prophet Muhammad. The end of the French and Spanish protectorates was made possible by the contributions of the nationalist party, Istiqlal, and King Mohammed V, who served as a symbol of historical continuity, national identity, and institutional legitimacy for the new state.
The king has always played an important role in the social, political, and economic affairs of the country. Major international policy issues, such as ...

Last Man Through the Gate will be published at the end of September. There's a range of novellas coming soon from Greyhart Press, and mine will be one of them. I'm really excited.
Some people have called my novella steampunk fantasy, others time-travel. It has all those elements and more. I think I'll let author Ian Watson explain what the story is about, as he is so much better at that sort of thing.
In the days before eBooks became mainstream (say, from Caxton until 2009) novellas were very much a niche format that most people had probably never heard of. I predict eBooks will change that over the coming decade. A novella is simply a story that's longer than a short story and shorter than a novel. That's quite a range but generally means you can read the whole story through in an evening. If printed as a paperback, Last Man Through the Gate would be about 80 pages.
If you want to read a free advance review copy (in exchange for a review) just contact me.
And look at the cover artwork… I think it's top-notch, courtesy of BSFA award-winning artist Andy Bogwood.

Yates va guanyar el Campionat d'escacs de la Gran Bretanya sis cops. No va ser mai entre els millors jugadors del món, però no obstant això, era un jugador molt perillós, tal com mostren les seves victòries contra forts jugadors, inclosos campions del món, com Aleksandr Alekhin, Max Euwe, Akiba Rubinstein, o Milan Vidmar. Malgrat tot, tenia un marcador desfavorable contra aquests jugadors: Alekhin (+2 -10 =3), Rubinstein (+2 -8 =5), Euwe (+2 -5 =1), i Vidmar (+1 -4 =1). Els jugadors posicionals, com José Raúl Capablanca (+8 -0 =2) o Géza Maróczy (+8 -0 =1) li donaren encara menys possibilitats.

Yates era conegut per la seva persistència, lluitant sempre fins que no quedava cap vestigi d'esperança abans d'abandonar.

El nadal de 1920 fou el guanyador de la primera edició del Congrés d'escacs de Hastings. Va participar també en nombrosos torneigs internacionals. Per exemple, el 1923 fou 8è al fort Torneig de Carlsbad (el campió fou Aleksandr Alekhin). Fou un dels participants del fort Torneig de Moscou de 1925, on hi acabà 17è (de 21 participants). Posteriorment, fou 5è al Torneig d'escacs de San Remo 1930, només per darrere de quatre dels millors jugadors mundials del moment, Alekhin, Nimzowitsch, Rubinstein, i Bogoliúbov

La seva victòria més famosa fou contra Alekhin, a Karlsbad 1923, una partida on executà una combinació molt profunda, portant negres:
1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 g6 3. g3 Bg7 4. Bg2 O-O 5. Nc3 d6 6. Nf3 Nc6 7. d5 Nb8 8. e4 Nbd7 9. O-O a5 10. Be3 Ng4 11. Bd4 Nge5 12. Nxe5 Nxe5 13. c5 dxc5 14. Bxc5 b6 15. Bd4 Ba6 16. Re1 Qd6 17. Bf1 Bxf1 18.

Participació en olimpíades d'escacs
Yates va participar, representant Anglaterra, en tres Olimpíades d'escacs, els anys 1927, 1930, i 1931. En total, hi feu 27 punts de 48 partides, (+20 -14 =14), un 56,3%.

Home / Women's Issues / "Judges and Gender"
More women graduate from Australian Law Schools than men and yet we still have fewer women represented in the upper echelons of legal firms, at the Bar and in the Judiciary. And, according to a senior NSW Judge, this may get worse under the current government.
An article in the Sydney Morning Herald on 28 February 2014 (http://www.smh.com.au/federal-politics/political-news/judge-ruth-mccoll-warns-gains-on-gender-threatened-by-aboutface-on-diversity-20140227-33mfv.html) contains a report of comments made by Justice Ruth McColl of the NSW Court of Appeal at a recent speech in Sydney. The Judge observes that there are "worrying signs" that this government is undoing measures put in place to promote and improve gender diversity on the bench. The previous Labour government had introduced a process whereby Federal judicial appointments were advertised and interested parties could express interest in the opportunity. An advisory panel would then consider the applicants and in due course, recommendations would be made to the Attorney General.
However, it appears that this initiative is no longer applicable. The Attorney General's website states "There are no current judicial appointment processes" for the Federal Courts (as of 3 March 2014, when I checked it out at http://www.ag.gov.au/LegalSystem/Courts/Pages/CurrentappointmentstotheFederalCircuitCourtofAustralia.aspx).
The Judge suggested that this statement could lead one to infer that the system for appointment of federal Judges had reverted to the "traditional" approach. The Judge said "This could be a worrying sign…the adoption of a more formal process of judicial appointment…has been hard won. Perhaps it is part of the reason the percentage of women on the bench grew from 8.77 per cent in 1996 to 33.53 per cent last year".
The Judge also noted that the government was planning to change the gender reporting obligations for businesses – from those with 100 employees or more to those with 1000 employees. The Judge described these changes as "worrying signs".
Given the "traditional" approach to judicial appointments has been a process conducted behind closed doors of "informal consultation", and about which there is no transparency, it will be harder to know the basis of appointments. Can we have faith that talented and appropriately experienced women lawyers will be properly considered in such an "informal process"? The under representation of women in the senior ranks of the Coalition government is not an encouraging indicator of this.

Milwaukee's Marcus Center for the Performing Arts has been recommended for permanent historic designation — a move that could block plans to remove its grove of trees.
But that Monday ruling from the Historic Preservation Commission could be overturned by the Common Council.
And, even if the council agrees that the 50-year-old building is historic, center officials could still seek commission approval to remove the grove — a ruling that also could be appealed.
The 36 horse chestnut trees would be replaced by a lawn fringed with 18 honey locust trees.
The comments at Monday's public hearing were similar to those made when the commission granted temporary designation in February. That earlier ruling gave the commission up to 180 days to consider granting permanent historic status.
"Preserving these special and unique places are what provide us an identity as a city," said Jennifer Current, a landscape architect at Quorum Architects.
The commission deemed the Marcus Center as historic because of its role in developing Milwaukee's cultural heritage, its status as an established visual landmark, its Brutalist architectural style and its ties to two well-known architects: Kiley and Harry Weese, who designed the building.
Much of the argument against designation cited several changes to the Marcus Center since its 1969 opening.
That includes the 1994 removal of white Italian marble cladding, which was cracking, and its replacement with tan limestone and gray granite.
Also, the building's main entrance was redesigned and expanded in 1996.
Jim Shields, architect for the Marcus Center redevelopment plan, said those earlier changes cost the building its historic integrity.
That amounts to "a real problem" for meeting the city's criteria for historic status, he said.
Carlen Hatala, a city preservation planner, said other Milwaukee buildings have received historic designation despite major renovations.
They include the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist, 812 N. Jackson St., a former commercial garage that now houses Stone Creek Coffee, 2650 N. Downer Ave., and other businesses, and the former White House tavern, 2900 S. Kinnickinnic Ave.
"It would be difficult for any building to be preserved in pristine condition," Hatala said.
The commission's ruling now goes to the Common Council's Zoning, Neighborhoods and Development Committee before going to the full council.
The city's preservation ordinance says the council "shall balance the public interest" in preserving the site with the owner's interest in using the property.
Center officials hope to use that clause to overturn the commission's ruling.
And, even if the council upholds the commission, the center could then seek commission approval to remove the grove. That ruling also could be appealed to the council, which can consider "economic hardship" as a factor.
The first phase of Marcus Center's renovations are to begin this spring, and be completed by September. That initial work includes creating a special lounge for big donors.
The donor lounge will be built on the building's south end, with large windows facing what Marcus Center officials hope is a more open, grassy space fringed by 18 mature shade trees.
The commission later gave the Marcus Center permission to remove four trees, which are in danger of falling.
Those trees must be replaced by 2020 with the same type of trees.
The grove has been enclosed by a fence pending the removal of those four trees.


The Gretsch G5120 Electromatic is better known as — "That Orange Guitar" — and it is certainly a big bite of juicy and refreshing sweetness in every way. Orange is not my favorite color, but I love this Gretsch orange and I love the silver pickguard that is standard on the newer 5120's! The G5120 is massive hollowbody electric guitar — but it is still lightweight in your hands — and you can easily play it plugged in for that electric sound or you can go acoustic and unplugged.
Not everyone can afford a $3,600.00USD David Glimour Custom Black Strat, but quite a few musicians can afford a $600.00USD Gretsch G5120.
Is the Gilmour Strat six times better than the Gretsch G5120?
How is it possible that the G5120 is such a great guitar, and yet it gets so little favorable play in the Press and in the minds of guitar elitists? Is it because Gretsch — around since 1883 — is no longer family owned and Fender, yes, that Fender, now owns the company? Or is there some lingering xenophobic resentment going on because Gretsch guitars are now built in Korea?
Unfortunately, the G5120 doesn't come with any sort of case. It arrives in a cardboard box. If you want to carry your big orange guitar in the street, you need to find an extra $100.00USD for the hardshell case. That's a hard sell — but an inevitable one — if you ever hope to play beyond your home.
The Gretsch G5120 is one of the finest guitars I own. The fact that it is so cheaply priced, and yet so magnificently built for sound, makes the G5120 the biggest bargain in guitars.
The pickups sound great. Some complain the bridge pickup isn't twangy and sharp enough — I argue there is a huge difference in sound between the neck and the bridge — and that's enough of a distinction with a difference to make the guitar a great tool for music.
The neck is thin and slick. The frets are fast. The rosewood fretboard is smooth and quick. The G5120 is obviously built for speed. I don't know if the G5120 is made for Bending the Blues — the floating bridge creaks at me when I bend just a step — but if you're looking to play quick notes or strum rhythm, or finger pick, you won't find a better built, or more agreeable, guitar for the purpose.
The tuners look strange and flimsy but, so far, they hold the strings in tune in fine shape. The G5120 arrives with D'Addario .11-.49s and my guitar was built in March of this year. The strings were clean and ringing. I changed the factory installed strings to D'Addario .10s and the guitar plays just fine. I have some Gretsch-branded .11-.49s on order so I can test the difference, if there is any, between sustain, tone and sound.
I love it how the entire guitar rings when each string hits the sweet spot of coming into tune and that means, in essence, that the guitar tunes itself once you attune your ear to hearing that sweet, pinging, echo. You really get a sense of musicality from this guitar. It regularly treats the ear.
I'm not a tremolo fan, and trying to get the strings to stay on the Bigsby pegs during re-stringing was a chore I am not eager to repeat. If the guitar requires a "foam wedge" to help the strings stay on the Bigsby while re-stringing, then the foam wedge should be included with the guitar.
Here's an excellent video from a Gretsch tech demonstrating how to set up your G5120 with the floating bridge. Get ready for an eyeful of beautiful orange!
If you play the guitar, you must have a Gretsch G5120 in your musical arsenal — the sound is unique, instantly recognizable, and rich — and the G5120 can fill so many gaps in your sound that a Telecaster, Stratocaster and Gibson Les Paul cannot imagine to begin to abide.
It's really a lovely guitar, Gordon, but it feels more like an acoustic than a solid body electric when playing. That isn't a problem if you're prepared for it.
Orange is certainly the color to have, I think, though others are going for the more traditional colors now that the orange is over-saturating the market.
There are tons of "G5120" vids on YouTube. You can really get a fine feel for the sound and the guitar gets along with a wide variety of amps — that's always a good sign of a well-made git.
I think I'm quickly becoming a Gretsch Man! You can't be the price for the value!
I confirmed, using a digital caliper, that the original factory strings were Daddario EXL115 Set Electric Guitar Strings (11-49).
The Gretsch .11-.49 strings arrived yesterday from SamAsh.com. They were rusted in the packaging. No wonder they only had two packs left in stock. FAIL!
I just bought the walnut double cutaway. I love it and was surprised how much more "live" it sounds and plays in comparison to the single cutaway. Overall, a great value for the price and really nice playing. The Bigsby is SO cool.
I'm loving your guitar, Ted! Thanks for sharing your new baby with us. Do you have any pictures or sound samples we can enjoy?
Soon David. I love it through my Vox AC15 with the tremolo. whooooooo.
Sounds like a killer rig, Ted! I'm so happy for you!
action just great, makes it a pleasure to play.
You have a great guitar, Daniel, and in six months, as the wood comes in and ages, it will sound even better and better!
Just found your blog – An excellent (and truthful) write-up on the G5120. I bought mine (Burgundy stain) back in April 2010 and I simply love it. I agree that the pickups are decent and totally usable, but now that I've played it for a year, I am intending to replace the stock pups with TV Jones classics. This guitar is a great value. The workmanship and finish are surprisingly refined, especially given the price point ($599 USD). I play it though a Fender Blues Deluxe Reissue Tweed.
I love your upgrade plans, John. I think I saw a YouTube video showing how to achieve that pickup upgrade and it looked a little complicated with risers and toothpicks and drilling new holes and losing wires inside the guitar. Do you think it will be that complicated, or have you found a simpler way to upgrade?
I just got a G5120, sunburst with a wine colored back. Really beautiful guitar, great sound, silky action. Have a Gibson Les Paul, several Strats, a Jazzmaster, a Telecaster, and a Martin, and also a nice Epiphone Les Paul. I never had a Gretsch. I am vey happy,and I know is Korean made, but the finish and the sound,are world class. Congratulations Fender Gretstch guys….
Love the story about your new guitar! Be sure to let us know how it plays and sounds for you as you break in the new guitar!
I'd picked up a solidbody Electromatic right around when the Fender takeover had just happened. Loved the sound, hated the playability, so after a couple weeks trying to be happy with it I wound up returning it. Now I have a recently built G5210, and I have to say the outsourced worksmanship is FAR superior to how it had been. I played around with the G5120 against a White Falcon out of curiosity and, for a player without a rock star's disposable income, I'd have to say the Falcon just wasn't quite worth the additional cost. Note the disclaimer though–if you can afford a Falcon or similar, absolutely try them out and decide for yourself.
At any rate, while I'm still admittedly in the honeymoon phased, I'm pretty pleased with the amplified sonic character, the playability, and most surprisingly the acoustic sound. It won't win any volume contests unamplified, but the sound is quite pleasing, unlike a number of other hollowbodies I've tried. I'm looking forward to exploring with it further. Definitely a good addition to my modest axe herd. And for anyone else who was like myself apprehensive of the quality of Korean Gretschs, the time's right for renewing your evaluations.
Thanks for that excellent review, Edwin. Your wide experience in evaluation will help a lot of people!
Simply a gorgeous guitar. Any video of you playing it?
Yes, it's a beautiful guitar. I had no idea the orange would look so cool. There's no video yet of me playing. I'm much too awful a player — and too shy in general! — for that to happen right now. SMILE!
I'm a regular music-store visitor. I was dropping in to Guitar Center quite often in the mid 2000's and test driving various guitars and amps. I'd always grab some flavor of 6120 to enjoy and dream. One day, I stopped in with my Wife-to-Be and grabbed the usual 'Orange'. It was great, but noticed that it was laid out a bit differently. Checked the tag on it to see model number and price.
A brief talk with my girlfriend ensued. I walked out with that lovely G5120 thirty minutes later. GC had a deal going that if you bought something over $500 they'd give you an $70 gift card. So, in effect, it cost $529 plus tax! Unreal. Bought a gig bag with that $70 a bit later.
I know exactly what you mean about the weird little tuning machines–I immediately installed a set of Sperzel locking tuners (that, if I recall, also have a finer gear ratio). Hardly use the Bigsby, but the Sperzels really keep it in tune if I do. Beyond painting the pickguard white and adding some great mismatched knobs, two years ago I had my guitar tech replace the sticky plastic nut with something better, plus shim the bridge pickup up with another (matching) piece to make that one's output just a wee bit hotter. I thought I missed having white bound f-holes till Gretsch released the 5122's (at $799)–and then I didn't. They looked 'off', and not like the 6120's to me.
My other guitar is a 1991 Ibanez EX-360 solid body 'rock' guitar (also Korean) with S/S/Hum pickup layout (the single coils do produce a sound that the 5120 doesn't make, and the double cutaway allows for playing up higher). Between the two, I've been pretty much released from the Wheel of Guitar Desiring (!).
In a month and a half, my beloved 5120 will be 9 years old–it's lasted longer than my marriage, unfortunately.
p.s. As far as restringing the Bigsby, I just bend the strings at the ball-ends to keep them snug around the rocker bar.
Wow! Thanks for the beautiful article, Nick! I appreciate all the fine detail and the love of your guitar! You have given all of us a fine and keen way to adjust, and make better, our beloved Gretsch guitars!
My pleasure, Dave–you're welcome. And you're a fast-on-the-draw blog responder!
I appreciate your fine knowledge and your willingness to share it with us!

Trying a bit of an odd product today, the Nutt Butter from Tame the Beast. The premise is certainly interesting: bringing some comfort to your…well…nutts. Now that the shock or hysterical laughter is slowing. Why would Style4men.ca be trying such a product? Over the course of this project, I have rediscovered talcum powder and its benefits for managing sweat and chaffing in the "…" area. As an enthusiastic cyclist in my teens and young adult years, I was no stranger to baby powder to alleviate the chaffing that unavoidably occurred on the long rides. By the time my cycling days were replaced with other activities the talc powder also went along with dodo bird.
With the "real' transformation in our weather patterns and my being older, excessive heat and sweating has become a gentlemanly concern. This also coincided with the Barbershop revival and all things related, including talcum powder. And I rediscovered this simple yet effective way of managing heat and chaffing in the "…" area.
Being a daily talcum powder user, I was naturally inclined or at the very least interested in similar products. Thus when the folks at Tame The Beast launched their Nutt Butter I told myself I would give it a try. Having been impressed by their shampoo – read review here, it was a natural/normal move to try their Nutt Butter. The folks at Tame The Beast run a very modern web site along with numerous promotions and enticements to make their products available to the world and I took advantage of one of their promotions.

Sorry for the long intro, but I figured the whole thing should be put in context first.
Talcum powder has had bad publicity in the past as a result of some refinement issues, but this is essentially a non issues now-a-days. Talcum powder being somewhat of a neutral element, and by this I mean that it is not absorbed by the skin, nor does it trigger any cooling or warming sensation, etc.., we can basically state that using talcum is not a very adventurous proposition. The Nutt Butter from Tame The Beast on the other hand is a cream and further to that there is also a promise of some tingling action. Not sure about you, but I am not necessarily willing to put just anything on my nutts.
Nevertheless, in the true spirit of product testing – I tried it!
First off this cream is safely packaged in a sealed jar. Once the metal foil is removed you find a thick white cream. Not knowing what kind of quantity to use I opted for moderation and scooped perhaps the size of a nickel. Gently the stuff was applied to the working area. Note that the jar states clearly that this is not for usage near any orifices. External usage only! That's for you, so pay attention! On contact the cream is nice and does offer a slight tingled as well as an ever so discreet numbing sensation.
We are now about 5 hours after application and everything is good and dry. No irritation. I can still feel a distant freshness, like menthol.
Considering the multiple promises on the jar, I am a bit at a loss. From experience, no one product can be everything to everybody. the main feature that attracted me to this product was the anti-chafing. but for that to be, moisture pretty much has to be removed from the equation. If the product is also offering anti-dryness, it would be pretty amazing for both situation to co-exist.
In the end, I tried this product for 2 straight days and ultimately decided to go back to my trusted Suavecito talcum. Here is why: As for actual moisture/water absorption, I didn't feel as dry as I do with talcum. I also didn't enjoy the long running tingle. So this didn't turn out to be a favorite, but Tame The Beast gets points anyways for pushing forward and innovating in a somewhat forgotten but crucial space. As far as I know, they really have no competition in this area.

I'm using latest madExcept 5.0.0 in an 32bit application, built with Delphi 10.3 Rio.
When I switch on ReportMemoryLeaks the application throws an exception on closing due to access violations.
Juding from the bugreport this happens when madExcept looks for leftovers in the memory.
This does NOT happen with madExcept activated but option ReportMemoryLeaks is OFF.
Do you need more info for this problem?
exception message : Zugriffsverletzung bei Adresse 0040606B in Modul 'TrackTool.exe'. Lesen von Adresse 00000000.
This could have all sorts of reasons. A bug in madExcept sure is one explanation, but far from the only one. This crash not occuring without resource leaking activated doesn't prove anything, unfortunately. Different timing, different memory managers etc could all play role here. E.g. if there's a buffer overrun, it can sometimes produce crashes and sometimes it won't.
Have you tried activating "instantly crash on buffer overrun" instead of leak reporting? Does it cause any crashes?
Thanks for the tip with the buffer overrun check, haven't used that before.
madExcept found a buffer overrun when initialising one of the components in my app.
After encapsuling that with a try..except block, I finally get the memory leaks report on closing the app again.
I've reported it to the manufacturer already!

Ponnani Taluk comes under Tirur revenue division in Malappuram district of Kerala, India. Its headquarters is the town of Ponnani. Ponnani Taluk contains Ponnani Municipality and nine gram panchayats. Most of the administrative offices are located in the Mini-Civil Station at Ponnani.

Ponnani was the most populous Taluk of the erstwhile Malabar District during its dissolution. At that time Ponnani Taluk had eight revenue blocks in it: Tanur, Tirur, Kuttippuram, Ponnani, Thrithala, Andathode, Chavakkad, and Nattika. On 1 November 1957, the revenue blocks of Tanur, Tirur, and Kuttippuram were separated from Ponnani Taluk to form Tirur Taluk, and the Revenue blocks of Chavakkad and Nattika were separated to form Chavakkad Taluk.

During the formation of Malappuram district on 16 June 1969, Ponnani taluk was separated from Palakkad district,Thrithala Revenue block was transferred from Ponnani Taluk to Ottapalam Taluk, and three villages of Andathode Block namely, Punnayur, Punnayurkulam, and Vadakkekad, were transferred to the Chavakkad Taluk.

Non-removable battery on the SGS6? Samsung's wireless charging monologue will ease your concerns
Chris Hall, Editorial Director · 17 February 2015 ·
(Pocket-lint) - The internets was aflame recently with reports that the forthcoming Samsung Galaxy S6 would have a sealed body, with a smaller battery in it. Worse, said battery would be not be user replaceable.
It's as if the last bastion of Samsungness is being ripped from our grip: the replaceable battery was the hallmark of Samsung's convenience, in the face of growing unibody rivals like the iPhone 6 or HTC One.
Whether anyone actually carried a second battery or not has never been quantified, but - dammit - it's the potential that matters.
Enter Samsung stage left, gearing up to host Galaxy Unpacked at Mobile World Congress 2015 in Barcelona on 1 March, and an eloquent monologue that addresses the issue of batteries.
Without so much as revealing that the Samsung Galaxy S6 will have its battery sealed inside, Samsung takes to its blog to school us on wireless charging. It's the battle cry we've all been waiting for, concluding with "With our upcoming Galaxy smartphones, users will be able to enter a new wireless world like never before."
All jokes aside, it's an interested read (link below), with Samsung detailing the current position with wireless charging, as well as the advancements over the past few years, from Tesla in 1891 (that's Nikoli Tesla, inventor of inductive charging, not Musk's automobile), up to the current convergence of standards.
The point, it seems, is that Samsung is involved with all three wireless charging standards and that the speed of wireless charging has doubled in the past few years, alongside continued cost efficiencies and miniaturisation of the technology.
In other words, don't fret if the Samsung Galaxy 6 has a sealed metal-framed body with glass back, because wireless charging is better than ever.
We can't help feeling that Samsung's recent blog posts are preparing us for the future: it recently talked about the progressive developments in smartphone cameras, most likely laying the ground for the next Galaxy.

We have two dive boats running 7 days a week to ensure you the best boat diving experience in Zakynthos.
If you don't want to scuba dive, snokelling is also an good option. With the fantastic visibility here, you can see almost as much snorkelling as by scuba diving.
We run a full range of PADI certification courses under the supervision of qualified professional instructors.
If diving or snorkelling is not for you, you are welcome to come along as a passenger. Our large boat has toilets, sun and shade deck and is a lovely place to relax and enjoy the scenery of the beautiful Keri area.
We have a well stocked dive shop selling the latest equipment at very competitive prices with ample advice available from our staff.
With the change of diving laws in 2006, night diving is now legal in Greece. We make night dive trips on our RIB once per week.
We have a training program for complete novices that ensures they are taught in a safe and fun environment by qualified professionals.
We have full range of equipment for rent at very reasonable prices. Our equipment is of good quality and serviced regularly. Due to this, we do not hire equipment for independent use, but prefer to rent it only to customers diving with us in order to maintain its good condition.
Zakynthos has some of the best cave diving in the Mediterranean and cave-experienced staff are on hand to guide you and show you the best. Because of the overhead nature of some of the caves we insist on taking only advanced divers and above into caves and reserve the right to refuse to take a diver on the basis of safety concerns.
Photos and DVDs of your diving experience with us are available. In addition, we rent and sell underwater cameras to certfied divers wishing to undertake their own photos.
We at Eurodivers pride ourselves on our excellent standards and safety record, and adhere to all PADI and Greek safety regulations.
We DO NOT undertake diving outside the PADI recreational limits (i.e. decompression diving or planning dives deeper than 30m).
