No grand hypothesizing, no visionary pronouncements here—open eyes and accurate note-taking are what's needed most.
What I love about this book is that it grew out of just such a process, and shows it on every page.
It is the direct result of the authors' encounters with users.
It began with Ben Collins-Sussman's observation that people were asking the same basic questions over and over on the Subversion mailing lists: what are the standard workflows to use with Subversion?
Do branches and tags work the same way as in other version control systems? Frustrated at seeing the same questions day after day, Ben worked intensely over a month in the summer of 2002 to write , a 60-page manual that covered all the basics of using Subversion.
The manual made no pretense of being complete, but it was distributed with Subversion and got users over that initial hump in the learning curve.When O'Reilly decided to publish a full-length Subversion book, the path of least resistance was obvious: just expand the Subversion handbook.The three coauthors of the new book were thus presented with an unusual opportunity.Officially, their task was to write a book top-down, starting from a table of contents and an initial draft.But they also had access to a steady stream—indeed, an uncontrollable geyser—of bottom-up source material.Subversion was already in the hands of thousands of early adopters, and those users were giving tons of feedback, not only about Subversion, but also about its existing documentation.

The trust and confidence enjoyed by businesses is being disrupted. In our hyper-connected world, the reputational impact of scandals such as data breaches and unethical conduct can be catastrophic. Trust can be destroyed forever if organizations do not keep up with the public's shifting expectations of acceptable corporate behavior, or they fail to safeguard personal data.
We surveyed more than 1,000 CFOs or financial controllers of large organizations to understand the challenges they face in corporate reporting.
Our findings
To manage risk and build trust finance leaders and corporate reporting should explore two critical areas:
- Advanced data analytics and integrated technologies — or "Finance 4.0" — can position them as the "trust-giver" to a wider group of internal and external stakeholders — such as boards and regulatory authorities — around both financial and nonfinancial information.
- Rethinking traditional approaches to corporate governance can give audit committees and boards the competencies and sophisticated insights they require to provide effective oversight and support effective compliance and control.
A disrupted reporting environment: technological, political and social risks are on the rise
Two major shifts are changing corporate reporting and governance. First, innovative technologies and sophisticated analytics are becoming key to managing growing risk and volatility to help organizations meet increasing compliance requirements.
Second, as the political and social environment changes, the rules and norms of business — regulatory standards, accounting standards, legal protocols and ethical regimes — are evolving in response.
These trends are affecting corporate reporting in two areas: the way in which financial statements are prepared; and the level of financial oversight provided by audit committees and supervisory boards.
To remain effective, corporate reporting should adapt to changing compliance, legal,regulatory and technology risks
Preparing financial statements: smart reporting data and innovative finance technology are key to governance and oversight
Data analytics and innovative new technologies — an important element of what we call "Finance 4.0" — can help the finance function to operate differently, add significantly more value to the business and become the trust-giver to a wider group of stakeholders around nonfinancial information.
This should be in real-time, at a greatly reduced cost, with more automated control and lower risk. However, finance leaders face significant challenges here: there has to be an effective approach to data governance and there is the perennial obstacle of systems integration.
Getting ahead
To overcome roadblocks that stand in the way of technology innovation, finance and reporting, teams often focus on two areas:
Collaboration with teams across the business
With the benefit of a broader understanding of the complex dependencies between risks and existing information risk management initiatives, an integrated approach to information governance can help tackle complex areas such as:
- Responding to regulatory requirements. Rigorous compliance requirements may include international standards, such as EU laws or regulations issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
- Increasing global flows of data. As volume increases and new information systems are procured, information may shift around the globe. As this happens, organizations tend to lose their understanding and control of what information is stored where. This introduces risks when they have to apply record retention policies, respond to discovery or regulatory requests, and determine compliance with privacy requirements. If companies cannot identify data and dispose of it in accordance with retention policies, then that data may be discoverable.
Managing the compliance challenges of new technologies
Our research finds that 87% of organizations surveyed plan to increase their investment in reporting technologies over the next two years.
However, even with a strong investment commitment, organizations face significant barriers in implementing innovative new systems. In particular, there is some concern from finance and reporting leaders as they consider making the transition to cloud computing.
Concerns over cloud compliance risks are the number one barrier to technology innovation in finance, according to group CFOs.
The finance function plays a critical role in providing trust and confidence for investors around financial data.
Audit committees and supervisory boards: seeking new competencies and data-driven insights
The reporting requirements of audit committees and boards are changing in two ways.
What they do in terms of where they are focusing their attentions and the competencies they need for effective oversight. And how they provide oversight, with boards requiring more regular, real-time and relevant information to perform their role effectively.
What audit committees do
Today's volatile and fast-changing environment is making areas such as internal controls, compliance and culture, and fraud prevention increasingly important.
When we asked respondents to select the main priorities of their audit committee and board in terms of their oversight role, we found that implementation of new accounting standards is the top priority for public companies. For private companies, the top priority is fraud prevention.
Board and committee members face increasing expectations from the public and media in managing key risks such as lapses in individual behavior. With an increasing focus on technology and data challenges, finance leaders believe that audit committee members will need new competencies to ful fil their oversight role effectively
New competencies and skills are being sought for board members
How audit committees provide oversight
Increasing volumes of data and advances in analytical tools and capabilities have transformed how organizations generate insight. However, organizations should question whether the information they present to audit committees and boards has evolved in line with these developments in terms of the sophistication of the content and how it is delivered.
With more sophisticated insights, organizations can improve the quality of board debate and decision-making, transforming the effectiveness of oversight.
Our survey shows that some organizations — particularly larger ones — are making progress here.
Only 19% of small organizations (annual revenues of up to US$1b) agree strongly that they are supplying their boards with a management dashboard that gives a close-to-real-time view of reporting and performance. But this increases to 35% for large organizations (annual revenues of over US$10b). Overall, one-third of large organizations are making progress in the use of sophisticated analytics to provide boards with reporting intelligence.
Increasing volumes of data, as well as advances in analytical tools and capabilities, have transformed how organizations generate insight.
A way forward: rich data combined with smart technology powers new governance era
Whether people trust an organization depends on a whole host of reasons, from the tone of their communications to the personal integrity of the senior leadership team.
But taking a different approach to reporting and governance is likely to be an increasingly important factor. This is about reporting teams drawing on multi-dimensional data, as well technology advances, to deliver the reporting insights that stakeholders who have governance responsibilities, such as board members, seek to fulfil their role. Board members will tap into sophisticated, forward-looking data that helps them to fulfil their oversight insight.
Those organizations wishing to deliver those insights should consider managing data as a strategic asset; shift the finance mindset to embrace technology innovation; and challenge traditional governance and board structures.

On ESPN2's "First Take" on Friday, in a debate with his co-host Stephen A. Smith, Skip Bayless called into question the integrity of New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady on the heels of his press conference on Thursday addressing the so-called "Deflategate" scandal.
Partial transcript as follows:
SMITH: If indeed it has happened, I believe it is something that has been going on for a long period of time. I don't believe it happened for just one game. If it is one game I'm absolving Bill Belichick from that. You can't understand that?
BAYLESS: Here's what you can't understand. The context here is that the Colts were suspicious of the game balls New England brought to Indianapolis.
SMITH: I heard that.
BAYLESS: That's where that came from. So obviously, if they would do it at Indianapolis, they might have done it against the Jets, then the Dolphins. You would think that they would be serial deflators because if it worked once, why wouldn't it work again?
SMITH: Then my question to you Skip Bayless would be this — how does Tom Brady get absolved? Because if Bill Belichick did it, who would he be doing it for and how would Tom Brady not know? How would he not know?
BAYLESS: He definitely would know. I'll go this far — if you want to use the word lying, Tom Brady was lying. I used dodging the truth. He was lying yesterday. He was so uncomfortable.
SMITH: He did look uncomfortable.
BAYLESS: Real quick, I got to give him credit for this that I'm not going to give Belichick in his media session — Tom Brady immediately opened it up to questions. He took 35-minutes worth. Come one, come all – ask me anything. We got to give him some praise for that because we always talk about how people dodge questions in press conferences, they don't take questions. So, you have got to back off and say, "Hey, he at least stood up there for 35 minutes."
SMITH: Wait a minute. I don't have to back off of anybody because I'm not the one going ballistic saying the moral integrity of the game – we got to do all this. I'm concerned about the Super Bowl being compromised. Me personally, I wish this would go away until after the Super Bowl.

A crown (often called a cap) is a type of restoration that completely caps or covers the tooth and restores it to its original shape and size.
Dr. Bauter and his team utilize Planmeca E4D scanning technology to create a 3D model of the tooth. This technology is more accurate than impressions and is much more comfortable for patients. The E4D method eliminates the gaging response that many patients experience with the traditional impression method.
Dr. Bauter then begins preparing the tooth for the permanent crown. Meanwhile, our highly trained technicians are meticulously creating a custom crown. After all decay is removed and the tooth is prepared, Dr. Bauter places the Crown. Our crown process is efficient, accurate and focused on making our patients as comfortable as possible.

Financial Support
People often marry for the financial security that they expect their spouse to provide them. In other words, part of the reason they marry is for money.
But there are others who marry before financial security becomes much of a consideration. Yet, as years go by, if a spouse is unemployed, underemployed, the other spouse can become very frustrated and unhappy. The need for financial support seems to develop after they have been married for a while, especially after children arrive.
It may be difficult for you to know how much you need financial support, especially if you were recently married or if your spouse has always been gainfully employed. But what if, before marriage, your spouse had told you not to expect any income from him or her. Would it have affected your decision to marry? Or, what if your spouse could not find work, and you had to financially support him or her throughout life? Would that withdraw love units?
You may have a need for financial support if you expect your spouse to earn a
Financial Support
What constitutes financial support? Earning enough to buy everything you could possibly desire, or earning just enough to get by? Different couples would answer this differently, and the same couples might answer differently in different stages of life. That's why this need can be difficult to meet -- it can change over time.
Like many of these emotional needs, financial support is sometimes hard to talk about. As a result, many couples have hidden expectations, assumptions and resentments. How much money does your spouse have to earn before you feel frustrated about his or her paycheck? Your analysis will help you determine if you have a need for financial support, and if so, whether or not this need is being met.
Another point to remember is that when an important emotional need is met, love units are deposited in very large numbers. In other words, if someone were to meet this need for you, might you fall in love with that person? Does a person's income or wealth make him or her more attractive to you? And are those without money unattractive? If so, you probably have a need for financial support.

This chocolate truffle cake recipe successfully combines my Easy Chocolate Cake Recipe and my Delicious Chocolate Truffle Recipe to make a rich, moist, sinfully chocolate filled dessert cake. It stores well, so you can make it the day before your special occasion and store it in the refrigerator.
I recommend to enjoy this truffle cake at its best that you take it out of the refrigerator 30mins before serving. This way you can enjoy its smooth truffle texture and its rich chocolate flavour.
Please read through the recipe for the chocolate truffle cake first before starting.
If you have any questions concerning imperial/metric conversions you will find the answers on my Baking Conversions page.
If you have any questions concerning baking terms used you will find the answers on my Baking Glossary page.
Spray a 20cm (8") round 6.5cm (2 1/2") deep cake baking pan with non-stick baking spray. Line the base and sides with non-stick baking paper. This is important as this cake will stick to the pan if you do not take this step.
The oven should be preheated to 160C (325F)
Now that you have made and cooled the chocolate truffle cake base you are ready to make the chocolate truffle filling.
This is a doubled batch of my chocolate truffle recipe . This will give you enough truffle mix to make the twelve truffles to decorate the top of the cake and enough left to fill, top and coat the chocolate cake.
90g unsalted butter, chopped coarsely 500g good quality dark chocolate, chopped coarsely 2/3 cup (80ml) thickened cream 2 teaspoons glucose syrup ½ cup (50g) cocoa powder, sifted for dusting the finished truffles and the top of the cake
Split the cooled cake horizontally into two layers; leave the bottom layer on the serving plate. There is no reason why you can not split this into three layers, just remember the filling layers will be thinner.
This chocolate truffle cake is A Pure Dark Chocolate Adventure. If you would like inspiration on how to turn this into a Mocha Truffle Cake, a Jaffa Truffle Cake or even a Chilli Truffle Cake then look at my many truffle variation suggestions. Just remember to make this cake you have used a doubled batch of the truffle filling so the flavour additions will also need to be doubled.
If you like this chocolate cake then you might also like to try the other variations of my chocolate cake recipe.

Two-shot differences at the 10th and 15th holes provided Charlie Narciso with breathing room on challenger Serge Hogg, and the defending champion went on to victory in the annual Baltimore Publinx golf championship at Mount Pleasant Golf Course yesterday.
Since the old four-way Publinx tournament was restructured after a lapse of some 15 years, the new 36-hole event has had only two winners -- Walt Grabowski in 1990 and 1991, and Narciso, now working on a string of three in a row.
Not since the late 1970s, when Joe Walter was winning five successive Maryland Stroke Play titles and Bonnie Fry was taking five straight Women's Golf Association crowns, has a player had a stranglehold on an event similar to Narciso's.

Enter and begin to enjoy live blackjack tournaments: they are fun, easy and simple to learn.
Why Enter and Play at Blackjack Tournaments?
Participating in blackjack tournaments can add some excitement to the usual blackjack playing. It enables you to compete against other players instead of competing against the casino dealer and, of course, to win big prizes. Here you can find a guide to blackjack tournaments including different types, rules and strategy.
Blackjack tournaments in land based casinos are less common than slots tournaments, for example. Still, many Las Vegas casinos hold daily and weekly blackjack tournaments. Some of the casinos require a small entry fee to the daily tournaments, while in others the participation is free.
The top casinos hold big blackjack tournaments events, which usually take place as a reward for loyal players. Those tournaments are open only to the loyalty club members, and they usually last few days. The blackjack tournaments rules, minimum and maximum bets, the numbers of rounds and entry fees can vary from one casino to another.
There are two basic types of blackjack tournaments. The player either has to compete against the players at his table or against all the other players. The first type, when the contest is against the players at one table is the most popular type of tournament.
The blackjack strategy in a tournament has to be different from the regular game strategy. The players object in a blackjack tournament is to move on to the next round. The most recommended strategy is to place the minimum bets for the first hands, it enables the players to move on to the next rounds with a sufficient amount of chips.
In blackjack tournaments, as opposed to the regular blackjack games, the player is competing against the other players and not against the casino. Most of the blackjack tournament players make different decisions during the game than the decision they would make in live game.

'Bachelor In Paradise:' Filming Abruptly Stopped After 'Allegations Of Misconduct'
What are we going to do without our weekly dose of Corinne Olympios?! Production of 'Bachelor In Paradise' season 4 was unexpectedly halted on June 11 following 'allegations of misconduct,' according to Warner Bros. Deep breaths, guys…
Sorry Bachelor Nation, it's going to be awhile before we see Corinne Olympios, 24, and Raven Gates, 25, flirting up a storm in sunny Mexico! On June 11, a Warner Bros. released a shocking statement that season 4 of Bachelor In Paradise is experiencing serious delays. "We have become aware of allegations of misconduct on the set of Bachelor in Paradise in Mexico," Warner Bros. said in a statement to HollywoodLife.com. "We have suspended production and we are conducting a thorough investigation of these allegations. Once the investigation is complete, we will take appropriate responsive action."
UPDATE: Bachelor In Paradise host Chris Harrison, 45, released a statement to ABC News on June 13 regarding what happened on the Bachelor In Paradise set. "The safety and care of the cast and crew of our show is of the utmost importance to us," he said. "It is with this thought in mind that we have made the decision to suspend filming. It is my sincere hope that we can come to a quick resolution on this and get back to work very soon."
Production was reportedly suspended after Corinne and DeMario Jackson, 30, allegedly got too raunchy in the pool during the first days of filming, TMZ reports. One of the show's producers watched their alleged racy pool session go down and filed a "third party complaint" to bring these "allegations of misconduct" to light, according to LA Times film writer Amy Kaufman. Corinne and DeMario were shown footage of their alleged hookup and later brought in to meet with the executive producer. They were both sent home and the rest of the cast was as well.
Some media outlets, including TMZ, have reached out to Warner Bros. for further details but haven't received a response. Basically Bachelor Nation is now waiting in limbo land…and it SUCKS. Season 4 of Bachelor In Paradise was gearing up to be the juiciest one yet, especially after watching Nick Viall, 36, as The Bachelor. He nixed two of the hottest girls on television, Corinne and Raven, and ultimately got engaged to Vanessa Grimaldi.
Earlier this month, it was revealed that Amanda Stanton, 27, will RETURN to Bachelor In Paradise after the crumbling of her Josh Murray, 32, engagement. It's like she's come full circle! The cast also includes the infamous DeMario, who was let go by Rachel Lindsay, 31, three episodes into The Bachelorette season 13 for allegedly having a side piece back home. This may be the sexiest cast yet — now if we could just resume filming ASAP please!
HollywoodLifers, what do YOU think happened on set of Bachelor In Paradise?

Singing superstar Shakira has recruited her realtor half-brother to help her offload her home in Miami Beach, Florida after failing to sell the pad in two years.
The Hips Don't Lie hitmaker initially listed the property in 2013 for $14.95 million, but after failing to attract prospective buyers, she slashed the price by $2 million.
The six-bedroom house was taken off the market in 2014 amid reports suggesting her then-realtor was a former associate of local drug cartel bosses, but now Shakira is giving her sibling, Antonio Mebarak, a shot at selling the mansion after he received his real estate licence last summer (14).
She is now seeking $13.9 million for the home, a big difference from the $3.3 million she purchased it for in 2001, but Mebarak is confident the property, which boasts a state-of-the-art kitchen, outdoor pool, large dock and stunning views of Biscayne Bay, will be quickly snapped up.
He tells Gossip Extra, "The house sells itself. It's a beautiful place. Everything is white inside. Everything is the best."
The singer currently lives in Spain with her beau, soccer star Gerard Pique, and their two young sons.

Blocking parasites in host cell may provide new way to fight malariaApril 4th, 2009 - 4:03 pm ICT by ANI
Washington, Apr 4 (ANI): Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have discovered a new way to fight malaria - locking the disease-causing parasite inside the host cells.
Led by Dr. Doron Greenbaum, Assistant Professor of Pharmacology in the Penn School of Medicine, the researchers found that parasites hijack host-cell proteins to ensure their survival and proliferation.
They found that malarial parasites depend upon an enzyme stolen from the host cell for successful infection, and thus paved the way for developing a new route of attack.
"Researchers can now develop ways to kill parasites by placing roadblocks in the path they use to destroy their victims," said Greenbaum.
Starting with Plasmodium falciparum, which causes the most deadly form of human malaria, the researchers broadened their research to include Toxoplasma gondii, which causes a parasitic disease called toxoplasmosis.
Greenbaum said: "We always suspected that enzymes called proteases might be required to help parasites escape from the infected cell, but had assumed that these enzymes were produced by the parasites themselves. We had never considered that parasites might instead hijack host cell proteases. It's an ingenious system. Our findings open up whole new window for drug discovery."
As Plasmodium and Toxoplasma kill infected cells, they need to constantly hop from cell to cell to survive.
Scientists, however, still do not know what proteins the parasites use as tools to help them break through the walls of the cell.
To observe the behaviour of P. falciparum parasites, the research team infected human red blood cells, using pharmacological and biochemical evidence to discover that parasites activate the host protease calpain-1.
Blocking or removing calpain-1, a calcium-regulated protease, left parasites trapped inside the host cell. By adding calpain-1 back into the cell, parasites could once again blast free.
For knowing T. gondii's behaviour, the researchers infected mouse fibroblasts with T. gondii and used genetic techniques to remove, and restore, calpain activity.
It was found that in the absence of calpain, parasites could not escape the infected cell, just as they had observed for malaria parasites.
The researchers concluded that targeting host proteins instead of the parasite itself might give the parasite less scope to develop resistance, since the parasite doesn't have genetic control over host proteins.
Greenbaum is planning to continue exploring the viability of calpain as a drug target for antiparasitic drugs.
The study has been published in the online issue of the journal Science. (ANI)

The Gift That Gives Back
Gifts of all kinds change lives at the University of Dayton, including gifts of time.
Flyer faithful donate time to the University through numerous avenues, whether helping with University events, volunteering in alumni communities, serving on various boards or advisory councils — or participating in the Alumni Mentoring Program.
Established in 2012, the mentoring program connects current students and recent University graduates with established alumni for guidance in professional development. As a partnership between Career Services and Alumni Relations, the program receives a tremendous amount of University support to foster success.
And what does it mean to have a successful mentoring program? Program growth and participation rates are obvious indicators — and the program is thriving in those respects. But alumni like Paul '82 and Ginny '82 Boeckman are the force behind such impressive numbers.
Paul and Ginny met in the summer of '81 in the Bahamas on a University-sponsored trip. They graduated the next year with accounting degrees, got married and had two daughters. While raising a family, they built successful careers: for Paul, a long-standing career in banking and consumer finance; and for Ginny, a multi-faceted career in public and private accounting, as well as IT and consultant work.
Such success has allowed the Boeckmans to support various University programs through donations of money as well as time. One avenue they chose was the mentoring program — which they have participated in for the last three years.
Having the same mentees for all three years allowed them to develop close relationships. "He's almost like the son I never had," Paul said in regard to his mentee. "It's fun to see the progression every year and the confidence build in him."
Seeing their mentees excel is certainly rewarding, but it's not the only benefit they receive from the program. As Ginny put it, "You think you're going to give advice to your mentee, but I probably learned as much as my mentee Stephanie did, just about what she's doing, what they're doing in classes and what her options are for majors. It keeps me current with what's happening in my field in the college arena."
Paul furthered that notion: "It helps you understand college kids, which helps with recruiting in our field. You get a flavor of what kids in school are looking for."
As parents themselves, the Boeckmans can appreciate all the program offers to students. "It's like a third parent almost," Paul said. "The student gets input from somebody in their chosen field. Especially if their parents are in different fields, it provides the opportunity to bounce ideas off this person — to get a sense of their career path and how they may be able to potentially move up in their field."
The Boeckmans' daughter, Katie '16, is well aware of the value of this "third parent," having participated in the program herself as a Flyer student. "It's nice to have someone else in your corner able to give you a path if you're looking for one, or just support you on the path that you've found," she said.
Katie continues to receive support from her mentor as she heads down her career path in marketing and communications.
"My mentor and I now keep up with each other on social media," said Katie. "It can be something as simple as her congratulating me on LinkedIn for getting a new job position. Also, I can see where she's at in the world with Instagram, and she can keep up with me like that, too."
All in all, the Boeckmans, like other program participants, have found that you do not have to devote a great deal of time to make a big impact. "Social media makes it easy to keep up with each other. And we text each other," said Ginny. "You don't have to pick up the phone and call them and have long conversations, just short check-ins. We go to dinner every once in a while. It's just an hour here or there, not extended periods of time."
Ginny's mentee, junior Stephanie Bennett, attested to the big impact this small amount of time can have. "Being a part of the mentoring program has greatly enhanced my time at UD. I can ask Ginny questions about my professionalism, potential careers and classes. We have such a great relationship! I am so thankful for the time and work she puts into helping me."
As with so many things in life, it's the small things that count. Devoting a small amount of time to mentor a student can make a big difference in their life — and in yours.
Explosive Growth and Extensive Support
For the 2016-2017 school year, the Alumni Mentoring Program has seen dramatic growth, with the number of students enrolled more than doubling compared to last year. This year, program enrollment consists of:
- Mentees: 239 students and 85 young alums.
- Mentors: 284 alums, representing class years from 1968 to 2015.
The University has paved the way for this growth with a dedicated, knowledgeable staff and state-of-the-art program resources. To ensure the best possible matches, program coordinators utilize a mentoring software service designed to assist with matching and manage mentoring. They also check in with program participants on a monthly basis, providing assistance and support. In addition, participants receive a monthly mentoring newsletter providing suggestions for relationship development. Socials, such as the program kickoff, are also organized so that program participants can offer support to each other.

Well Planet Earth, I know I'm a little late, but it's time to reflect on the awesomeness of last year in regards to rocking tuneskies. I can't say it was the best year in recent memory, with a lot of highly anticipated releases not making the top list. Yet as always, if you dig deep enough, you'll find some gems, so overall, 2014 definitely didn't disappoint. Way to go year!
Biggest Disappointments
We'll go from worst to ass-kicking. Let me just say that none of these albums were bad by any means, they just didn't live up to their potential. Wow, I sound like their mom giving them a lecture to get better grades. Slackers!
6. The Men – Tomorrow's Hits
Fortunately The Men consistently kick out an album a year, but this time around, the Classic Rock inspired sound just didn't work. Without the wild insanity of their previous releases, this one just misses the mark. Like when I try to dunk and really miss the mark. That's like seriously impossible.
5. EMA – The Future's Void
Past Life Martyred Saints took the music world by storm back in 2011, and for good reason. Her new album isn't a bad listen at all, but it certainly lacks the fire and intensity of her previous release. Side note: Playing with fire is really fun.
4. Black Lips – Underneath the Rainbow
I was pretty excited about the new Black Lips release, but after one listen, all I could say was, "Meh." Then after many more listens, all I could still say was, "Meh."
3. Pallbearer – Foundations of Burden
Their debut was easily the best Metal album of 2012. This one was sadly just so-so. Cut them a little slack though, they are from Arkansas, that just can't be too fun at all.
2. Foxygen – …And Star Power
I mean, the album has 24 tracks and clocks in at almost an hour and a half. So I'll give them points for ambition. The problem is, it's just not, um, very good. Their last album was killer, and judging by their live performances, they're a hot or cold band. Hopefully their next release will be hotter than a Hot Pocket.
1. The Black Keys – Turn Blue
The new release from the gritty Blues band turned Arena Rockers got a lot of good press. People and critics were raving about their new direction and sound. Not me. I thought this album was a piece of s**t. Okay, that's a little harsh, there are some good moments on the album. But I mean come on, listen to their take on Disco with "Fever" and try to take the album seriously. Considering The Black Keys are (0r were) one of my favorite current bands, that's a real bummer, man.
Most Anticipated
This was a big year for well known bands dropping fresh tunes. While they didn't all make the top list, they sure got me and my fellow music nerds all twitterpated.
6. Lana Del Rey – Ultraviolence
Lana Del Rey was the it music figure in 2012. Her album had it's highs and lows, but overall I thought it was overproduced in an attempt to make it a big commercial success. I had no interest in listening to her new release this year until I heard that Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys was at the producer's seat. Even though he failed with his own band (see above), that dude made what could have been a mediocre album sound pretty darn tootin'.
5. Warpaint – Warpaint
I sure loved The Fool and was super stoked to have a new Warpaint album after waiting four years. It was a crisp and straightforward sounding album, but definitely lacked the depth and darkness of their last release. Mmmm, crisp apple stuff.
4. Flying Lotus – You're Dead!
This album is a weird one. It's a concept album about dying. It leans heavily on hip hop. Yet it also has a lot of Jazz influencel. Steven Ellison is getting out of his comfort zone, and that's pretty cool. Sometimes you've got to get out of your comfort zone, you know, like not wearing sweatpants everyday despite the greatness of sweatpants.
3. Spoon – They Want My Soul
There's been a lot of buzz about this album and people have definitely been digging it all year long. To me, it's not their best release, but it's also really hard not to like. It rocks hard, yet still is inventive and interesting enough to throw new things out at you with each listen.
2. St. Vincent – St. Vincent
Annie Clark is pretty crazy. But super cool. Though she's really weird. Kinda all over the place. Whelp, just summed up her fourth album under the moniker St. Vincent.
1. TV on the Radio – Seeds
It's hard not to get excited for a new release from the ever-changing experimental rockers from Brooklyn. After the first few listens, I was just plain bored. Then it kind of clicked for me, and I realized the straightforward sound of the album worked really well. It lacks the wild experimentation of their first couple albums, but for the most part, they never disappoint.
Most Jammed
Sometimes an album doesn't make the cut as the best of the year, but that doesn't stop me from jamming to it over and over. Thanks technology for making it so easy to get my jamz on!
6. Wolfmother – New Crown
I remember randomly thinking, "I wonder what ever happened to Wolfmother?" Then, just like that, surprise release, boom. I wouldn't consider any of their work "best of" or anything like that, it's just straight up Hard Rock. For a surprise release out of nowhere, you can't beat that.
5. Thom Yorke – Tomorrow's Modern Boxes
Another surprise release from Radiohead frontman/genius dude Thom Yorke. It was a pretty subdued album, but still had its shining moments. By the way, why is he talking about boxes? I hope he recycles them, that's all I've got to say.
4. Radio Moscow – Magical Dirt
The Psychedelic cover with a big ol' shroom and some crazy ass colors says it all. This thing is a 60's throwback. But why, oh why has no one ever heard of Parker Griggs and his killer band? Dude is one of the foremost ax shredders these days. If you want to be transported back in time and utterly destroy your eardrums, get to listening to Radio Moscow. PS: To continue the theme of the post, the first Radio Moscow album was produced by Dan Auerbach.
3. Star Death and White Dwarfs – Wastoid
So the band is lead by the nephew of The Flaming Lips frontman Wayne Coyne. So there's that. I mean, that's about all you need to know. They sound like a more Psychedelic version of the Flaming Lips. But you know, that's kinda cool. Rock on dudes!
2. Twin Peaks – Wild Onion
Well now who are these young fellows kicking out the Psych jams? I don't know about you all, but I sure am liking it. Pretty authentic sounding 60's style stuff, but with the ballsiness of the more recent Garage Rock you hear these days. Okay, I can dig that, now play it again!
1. Wovenhand – Refractory Obdurate
David Eugene Edwards is awesome. Dudes been bringing out monster tunes from my hometown of Denver for years with 16 Horsepower back in the day and Wovenhand as of late. His 2010 album The Threshingfloor ended up being my favorite of the year and this time around, I just couldn't stop listening. The sound on this album was darker and grittier, taking on an almost Metal sound. Definitely worth a listen, and while you're at it, I'd recommend digging up some 16 Horsepower too.
Honorable Mention
So close, yet so far. These are the albums that didn't make the top list, but were still good. They were like the ones that weren't chosen last to be on the kickball team, but also not first. They were chosen like in the middle. Go get 'em tigers!
6. Hundred Waters – The Moon Rang Like a Bell
After one listen, I thought this was the perfect Indie Rock album. I'm not sure what that means, but it just sounded like something music nerds around the world would high-five each other over. I mean, this album bleeds plaid, beards, and PBR. And now with Hundred Waters gaining a ton of clout in the Indie Rock scene, maybe my first inclination was right.
5. alt-j – This Is All Yours
These English fellows really know what they're doing. They've been compared to Radiohead, and even though I don't want to go that far, they sure seem to be getting better. By the way, they're called alt-j because that's the keyboard combo on a Mac to get the delta symbol. Seriously nerdy, I know.
4. Lost in the Trees – Past Life
They ditched their orchestral heavy sound for a more straightforward Indie Rock sound and I'll be damned, it worked out quite nicely. For some reason I always feel smarter after listening to a Lost in the Trees album, so that's pretty cool.
3. Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young – CSNY 1974
I've never put an old release up as a best of, but man, this album is good. I'm talking like smothered in green chile good. Recorded during the summer of their reconciliation and the massive tour that followed, the three CD set shows all four of the band members at their absolute peak, nailing every bit of material. Whether its a tender ballad like "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes" or a rocker like "Black Queen," this thing is a monster from start to finish, all three and a half hours of it.
2. Sharon Van Etten – Are We There
Not to be confused with the hilarious family-friendly comedy staring Ice Cube entitled Are We There Yet? Let's just say this broad doesn't put out bad albums. This one is just as good as her last buzzworthy release Tramp and shows the singer/songwriter just keeps getting better.
1. King Tuff – Black Moon Spell
Well okay, hold on now. That weird dude Kyle Thomas released a new album under the moniker King Tuff. But wait a minute, it starts off with a fuzzed out rocker and it sure is loud. Hold on now, it keeps rocking. Dude sounds like Mark Bolan for, well, the whole album. Seriously, start to finish, this thing doesn't slow down or let up, and for that, we thank you Mr. Tuff.
The Top 14 of 2014
And now it's time to crown the best of the best in 2014. They came from different genres with all unique sounds, but one thing tied them all together: All of these albums rocked.
14. Cloud Nothings – Here and Nowhere Else
Dylan Baldi and co released an absolute monster in 2012 with Attack on Memory. This time around they haven't gotten any quieter, slower, or softer, they've just gotten a little sharper. It's still its own wild version of Punk with a unique sound that can't be replicated, but always can be blasted as loud as humanly possible.
13. The Budos Band – Burnt Offering
It's been four years since the instrumental Afro-Funk band's last release, and boy was it worth the wait. Usually one of their albums would land on my Most Jammed list. This year, they released one of the best albums of the year. Somehow they made their signature funk sound stronger and grittier, making this one of the loudest Funk albums I've ever heard, all without any vocalist speaking one word. Well done to all eight of them, even cowbell dude.
12. Jack White – Lazaretto
Jack White is God. Fact. Dude spit out what I'm thinking is the best track of the year with "High Ball Stepper." Toss in some reimagined Blues numbers, some folky Nashville twang, and introspective songs fit for a singer/songwriter and you have his newest album. Is it as good as Blunderbuss? What about as good as some of The White Stripes, The Raconteurs, or The Dead Weather albums? Trick question, they're all awesome.
11. Ty Segall – Manipulator
Being a Ty Segall fan is great. Not only does he release one to three albums a year, but they're all good. Seriously, every single one. Manipulator was larger in scope then most, leaning heavily on the Psychedelic front, and was overall as bitchin' as it could get.
10. The War on Drugs – Lost in the Dream
So, the 80's called, they want their sound back. Somehow an album about isolation and loneliness was set to the tune of 80's Pop ballads and, um, it worked really well.
9. Beck – Morning Phase
The ever changing Beck Hansen never puts out two records that sound alike. This year's release was no different, with the somber and moody release living up to its name. It really sounds like what waking up at sunset feels like, or something metaphorical like that. By the way, waking up that early is really uncool, not recommended.
8. Pink Floyd – The Endless River
I don't know many people that liked this album and I'm also surprised I liked it so much. You see, I don't like when bands reunite after many years to release new music since it usually turns out lame. I also don't like when they dig through the vaults and release stuff that they never intended to share because they thought it was too lame in the first place. So I guess The Endless River is an exception, because to me, it's the perfect swan song to one of the greatest bands of all time. It's moody and subdued, so it's not a real song heavy album. Yet the main thing it does is highlight the talents of one of my favorite guitarists, David Gillmour, and the late great keyboardist Rick Wright.
7. White Lung – Deep Fantasy
Whoa. I mean seriously, whoa. This puppy only clocks in at about a half hour, but it doesn't let up for a second. I'm talking about one big wild burst of Punk energy. It seriously doesn't get much better than that.
6. The Antlers – Familiars
There are a few rare bands these days that literally never slip up. I keep expecting that one super lame album, yet time and time again, every release is epic. The Antlers are such a band. From their concept album (Hospice) to a little EP (Undersea) to damn near perfection (Burst Apart), this band simply can't miss. With Familiars, they stretched their instrumental muscle, bringing in lots of new timbres and creating a bevy of new sounds. Bada-bada-bing.
5. Ariel Pink – pom pom
I'm thinking Ariel Pink is the Avante-Garde king of modern music. Along with Kim Fowley helping out with some songs, Ariel Rosenberg created the strangest, wildest, and most captivating album of the year. I can't even begin to list the amount of genres it covers. If you listen to it once and it sounds weird, you're just not getting it. Listen to it again. It will come young grasshopper, it will come.
4. Perfume Genius – Too Bright
Somehow Mike Hadreas was able to blend his signature intimate piano driven songs with Industrial noise, haunting melodies, and Psychedelic freak outs. Not only has he released his masterpiece, but he dropped one of the most compelling albums of the year.
3. Swans – To Be Kind
When Michael Gira released The Seer in 2012, that thing blew my mind and easily took the top spot as my favorite album of the year. To Be Kind didn't grab me at first, because I felt like it was missing the expansive scope and conceptual cohesiveness of The Seer. Yet I kept listening to it, and realized that this album is a monster in it's own right. To Be Kind is louder and more abrasive then any of his other work. And as always, it's exhausting to listen to a Swans album, but oh so worth it.
2. Goat – Commune
I'd never heard of this Swedish band before, but I'll be damned, they put out quite the album this year. Somehow they found the perfect mix of trancy Synthpop and fuzzed out Psych Rock with a monster delivery. Sometimes quiet and droning, but at other times exploding out of the speakers, Commune absolutely kills from start to finish. Way to go Sweden, you have something cool other than Ikea!
1. Sun Kil Moon – Benji
My favorite albums the last two years were mostly instrumental. This year it ended up being the very wordy and all acoustic album from singer/songrwriter Mark Kozelek. The album floored me from the very first listen. The reason being is that one of my defining characteristics of great music is honesty. Music that is honest is true to the songwriter and comes out in the final product. It's what made John Lennon's Plastic Ono Band so amazing, because he was singing real songs about his issues and feelings. Now tons of singers/songwriters create honest and personal albums. But nothing like this. By focusing on death, friends, family, and current news, Kozelek displays an album of his honest thoughts. Mix in some rambling stream of conscience details of the world around him and his interactions with the people in his songs, you're left with a brutally honest and surprisingly original gem of an album.
What did I miss? Or did this list just dominate the entire planet? Let me know HERE

Minimum 15% Power Savings through Clean Energy
According to American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy (ACEEE), when utilities and other groups discuss ―energy efficiency as a resource,‖ they are defining efficiency as an energy resource capable of yielding energy and demand savings that can displace electricity generation from coal, natural gas, wind power, and other supply- side resources. Investments in energy efficiency and the resulting resource benefits are factored directly into utility energy resource decision making about investing in new resources and operating existing systems.
Defining efficiency as a resource and integrating it into utility decision making is especially critical because of the clear resource cost advantage of energy efficiency. Energy savings from customer energy efficiency programs are typically achieved at 1/3 the cost of new generation resources. Efficiency programs can also reduce the need to install, upgrade or replace transmission and distribution equipment.

LOS ANGELES --A police officer who was wounded last month in a San Fernando Valley shootout that killed his colleague is offering thanks for the support he and his family have received. James Veenstra spoke Sunday after about 30 officers ran a torch relay in the Los Angeles Marathon in memory of Randal Simmons, the city's first SWAT officer slain in the line of duty.
Veenstra is recovering after being shot in the jaw. He and the officers wore shirts with a picture of Simmons that read "Pass the Torch."
Veenstra says he's grateful for the outpouring of sympathy he received after being injured in the line of duty.
The 51-year-old says "The healing process wouldn't have begun without it."

While everyone is busy weighing how the new campaign rules may affect the Oscars, they are strangely overlooking the catastrophic result the changes might have on the whole awards season. It's possible that they could land like an atom bomb in Oscarland, wiping out a lot of interest in the SAG, DGA, WGA, BAFTA and other precursor prizes.
In recent years Oscar season has been comprised of more than 500 Q&A screenings conducted on both U.S. coasts featuring the films' stars, directors, writers and crafts folks chatting chummily with guild members and other industry insiders. Presumably, that's because the studios really, really care a lot about winning their awards, but do they? Up until now it's been against Oscar rules to campaign directly to academy members with Q&As. Many cynics believe that the explosion of Q&As – which comprise the heart and soul of awards season – was really just a way around those rules. That is, studio execs will gladly spend more than $4,000 per screening if it's likely that at least a few Oscar voters might be in the audience mix.
But now that the studios can hold screenings specifically for Oscar voters, will they bother spending more than a million dollars to conduct the hundreds of other screenings? If not, will that injure the prestige of the guild awards?
MAKE YOUR OSCAR PREDICTIONS: What will be nominated for Best Picture?
Log your predictions in all top races. Compete against experts!
Let's face it, the guild awards are already facing dark days ahead in terms of their value as Oscar prophets. Very soon the academy will find an electronic way to conduct voting as soon as possible after Jan. 1. Thereafter, the guilds will no longer be able to jockey ahead of the Oscars and influence their outcome.
Academy chiefs have made it clear in recent years that they're sick and tired of the Oscars merely rubber-stamping the guild awards. They want to rule awards season on their own. Now it looks like the combination of two things – their new campaign rules plus their move toward electronic voting – could have a huge effect on other film awards. Will it be catastrophic?

Someone went through the menus at a bunch of fast food joints, and figured out the healthiest breakfast you can order. Basically, you just want to go with a simple egg sandwich. But here's exactly what to order at seven fast food places . . .
1. McDonald's. An Egg McMuffin, hold the ham. Even with no meat it's got a lot of salt. But besides that, it's not that bad for you. And it's only 300 calories.
2. Burger King. An Egg and Cheese English Muffin. So basically the same as an Egg McMuffin with no ham. But it's only 270 calories.
3. Starbucks. The Spinach and Feta Wrap. It actually has MORE salt than an Egg McMuffin, but less fat, more protein, and only 290 calories.
4. Taco Bell. The Breakfast Soft Taco "Fresco Style." That means no cheese. So it's basically eggs and salsa on a tortilla. 240 calories.
5. Subway. The Egg and Cheese Sandwich on flatbread. 360 calories, and you can add all the veggies you want.
6. Dunkin' Donuts. The Egg White Sandwich on flatbread. 280 calories.
7. Chick-fil-A. Sorry, no chicken. The healthiest breakfast there is the Greek Yogurt Parfait. Not much salt, not too much fat, and it's only 230 calories.

{are you as shocked as i am that its only the day after Easter and here i am posting about it? craziness. maybe i'll actually get caught up one of these days.}
holidays are becoming more fun every year since the girls anticipate whats coming and are old enough to really know what its about and how we celebrate. Easter morning did not disappoint. madison waited patiently for dad to make sure the Easter bunny came/hide the hard boiled eggs. grace was ready to get the show on the road!
after finding baskets and summer dresses upstairs the girls got ready to hunt for Easter eggs in the basement. (i opted not to buy Easter dresses this year since the girls already have plenty of dresses that fit them. they wore beautiful dresses aunt lindsay gave them a couple months ago and looked so cute. taking a cute Easter picture didn't make it on my list of things to do yesterday. maybe next year.)
the girls had to empty their baskets with dad's help and then continue the hunt before all the eggs were found. we went a little overboard considering only two kids were hunting but dying eggs (we did that fri night) is so fun that we did three dozen.
we had a few busy days leading up to Easter since midweek we decided to invite a couple families over for sunday dinner. we cooked and cleaned like crazy and after much stress, on my part, it all came together smoothly. my main concern was getting the ham to turn out. this is the best ham ever. ever. it's an imlay tradition that i will gladly adopt. after dressing the ham with pineapple, brown sugar, and a secret ingredient, you cover is with foil and cook it over night at a low temp. the next morning it's falling-off-the-bone-tender and ends up being the consistency of pot roast, shredding easily. i may have texted/called mark with questions about 20 times. :) but it turned out so i was happy.
mint limeade....so good and even a hit with the kids! i need to get the recipe for that one. plus dan surprised me with flowers - so sweet!
on the menu: fruit filled jello, fruit dip with fresh pineapple and strawberries, veggie spinach dip with crusty bread, spinach salad with peppers, walnuts, berries and a poppy seed dressing, and then not pictured, funeral potatoes, sweet rolls and shredded ham. can you tell i like food? it was delicious!! {i SO didn't make everything!!}
adult table
kid's table
someone made a cute Easter cake. {never mind my blurry picture}
we decided to get rid of our extra candy by having another Easter egg hunt with all the kids after dinner. today grace keeps asking when we're going to have another one. :)
we had such a great Easter weekend full of fun with our little family and good friends. we talked to the girls a lot about what we really celebrate this time of year and i think they understood as well as they can at their age.
we'd been discussing Christ and the Atonement and Resurrection for a couple days when madison said this in her prayers one night, "thank you for dad, and all of his sins. thank you for mom, and all of her sins. and thank you for gracie and me and all of our sins." hahaha. we straightened that out a little bit more when she was done. but it was neat to see her thinking about what we'd been teaching and talking about.
the girls also watched the living scripture movie "He is Risen" a dozen times, we went through the classic Easter egg nativity with scriptures and objects to go along with them in plastic eggs, and madison learned about Easter last week at preschool.
i am grateful for a holiday that helps us slow down and remember important things. i'm grateful for the Spirit in our home as we focused on the Savior and the significant events at the end of His life. i'm grateful for little girls that are interested and excited about the serious things Easter celebrates and not just the fluff like the Easter bunny.
most of all, i am grateful for the knowledge that my Savior lives and that He loves me.
hope you all had a wonderful Easter!

Silk Roads Winston-Salem advances our understanding of global cross-cultural exchange as it relates to the historic Silk Roads through a program of themed events at Wake Forest University. Silk Roads Winston-Salem brings together contributions from across academic disciplines to hold a variety of lectures, panels, workshops, performances, and exhibitions from spring 2017 through spring 2019. These events culminate in an interdisciplinary symposium March 28-30, 2019. In addition to advancing our knowledge of the Silk Roads, the symposium will contribute to the cultural, artistic, and intellectual life of Winston-Salem and the Piedmont community. Wake Forest University will host scholars, artists, writers, and performers from around the world. Most events are open to the public to showcase the cultural legacy of the Silks Roads. In the spirit of the ancient Silk Roads, these opportunities will be made more accessible—more connected—through collaboration with community partners.
Key Themes
Globalization, Exchanges, Acculturation, Hybridity, Syncretism, Transformation, Movement
Events and Programs
• WFU Departmental Events
Silk Roads Winston-Salem works closely with many departments and programs to coordinate, co-sponsor, and promote the wide range of lectures, workshops, and performances held on campus with relevance to the historical Silk Roads and their legacy. In the Spring 2017 term, Silk Roads Winston-Salem facilitated three events, variously co-sponsored by the Departments of East Asian Languages and Cultures, History, and Music, and by the Humanities Institute and the Museum of Anthropology.
• International Scholar Lectures
Each semester beginning in Fall 2017, Silk Road Winston-Salem will invite a prominent international scholar to deliver a public lecture about the history and legacy of the Silk Roads. These scholars will also visit WFU classrooms and be available to meet with faculty in more informal settings. Each semester will highlight a different disciplinary focus—History in Fall 2017, Literature in Spring 2018, Religion in Fall 2018, and Arts & Music in Spring 2019.
• Humanities Institute Interdisciplinary Faculty Seminars
Mirroring the International Scholars Lectures, each semester Silk Roads Winston-Salem will convene a faculty seminar around the themes of History, Literature, Religion, and Arts & Music. These seminars are intended to engage with faculty expertise on campus and encourage collaboration leading up to the symposium in Spring 2019.
• Lifelong Learning Course
In the Fall 2018, the Silk Roads Winston-Salem steering committee will teach a course on the Silk Roads through the Lifelong Learning Program. This course is intended for non-student community members, including WFU graduates and retirees. Each of the six committee members will teach a portion of the class to highlight the diversity of exchanges and transformations along the Silk Roads.
• WFU Exhibits
Exhibiting institutions on the WFU campus are teaming with Silk Roads Winston-Salem to produce exhibits for Spring 2019. The Museum of Anthropology will host an exhibit of historical artifacts from the Silk Roads, including its featured collection of Tang-period Chinese ceramics. The Z. S. R. Library Department of Special Collections & Archives will also create a rare book exhibit featuring a Silk Roads theme.
• Secrest Series Concert
The premier performing arts series on campus is collaborating to bring performers to campus in conjunction with the Silk Roads Winston-Salem symposium in Spring 2019.
• Symposium
A multiple-day, interdisciplinary symposium will be held March 28-30, 2019. Instead of adhering to a geographic or temporal focus, the theme of the symposium emphasizes exchange and transformation along the Silk Roads—moments of acculturation or hybridization that contributed to novel syncretic forms. In addition to leading scholars presenting new research, the symposium will feature student-centered and public outreach events. An educators' workshop will bring together local teachers and international scholars to create a lasting pedagogical contribution to our community.
About the Silk Roads
Globalization is a driving force in contemporary life, but increasingly scholars see this not as an entirely new phenomenon, but one rooted in the deep history of land and sea trade routes. An exemplar in this field of burgeoning scholarship are the Silk Roads, an ancient network of trade and exchange across Afro-Eurasia that thrived well into the early modern era, when they were integrated into and transformed by new patterns of global interactions that connected the New World and the Old.
Though "Silk" has stuck as its moniker since the 19th century, what became known as the Silk Roads was in reality a sprawling network of trade routes, formal and informal, maritime and terrestrial, that conveyed all manner of goods, peoples, and ideas. The necklace of caravan oases and ocean ports readily adapted to the emerging silk trade across Eurasia, eventually reaching the ports of Africa and the Americas.
This was in a very real sense the phenomenon that we now recognize as globalization. While trade and commerce stand as evident manifestations of this complex system, there was also a diffusion of ideas, a dissemination of music and dance, a dispersion of art and architecture, a transmission of technologies, and an emergence of new foods and drink to name but a few.
Silk Roads Winston-Salem stands to create a lasting contribution to our understanding of nascent globalization and trans-continental exchange. The increasing volume of material and textual information discovered, recovered, and analyzed each year has provided the opportunity to further our understanding of this historical phenomenon. It allows new questions to be asked and long running assumptions to be challenged about the movement of goods, peoples, and ideas from Pre-history to the Early Modern period.
