The Movies.com Review: 'We're the Millers' Flirts with Darkness and Taboos
A script is written. It's a funny script. It's full of strange, exaggerated facsimiles of humanity on a journey that's clearly outside the structures of reality. It flirts with darkness and taboos and it begs for daring comic actors to push themselves past the bounds of safety. It's a solidly adult comedy, the kind August release dates have come to treat well. And then that script is tampered with and altered by powers above and beyond the reach of the creative forces hired to make the film in the first place. Then it's directed and acted into a mutated, practically toothless noncomedy about the importance of family, a film where Jennifer Aniston plays a stripper who works while wearing a bra, where a drug dealer played by Jason Sudeikis has an aww-sadz moment in the first five minutes when he thinks wistfully about how he never settled down and made babies.
Swell. Thanks movie. I got out of the pool and put down the drink and stopped enjoying my summer long enough for you to teach me lessons about the dangers of weed and the ruination awaiting the childless and unmarried. Good work.
The premise is appropriately high concept. Sudeikis and Aniston team up -- alongside a runaway (Emma Roberts) and a geeky, abandoned neighbor boy (Will Poulter) -- as a fake family on a fake vacation to Mexico. There they'll retrieve a huge shipment of dope, smuggle it back to Colorado, collect a nice payday and go their separate ways. As it must, mayhem ensues. Well, it should have been mayhem, anyway. They run afoul of an angry drug lord (Tomer Sisley) and a tarantula while accidentally befriending a DEA officer (Nick Offerman) and an idiotic young carny (Mark L. Young). But these aren't Breaking Bad-level obstacles turned on their heads and made hilarious. These are goofy hurdles of the sort that might befall Kevin James on any rerun of King of Queens, a drug sitcom with some swear words and one scene featuring an arachnid attack on a pair of prosthetic testicles. Eventually, everyone comes to understand that this group must somehow form a family and blah-blah-yawn-blah-I'd-be-proud-to-be-your-real-father.
We're The Millers is well-stocked with funny, talented people doing their best with what they've been given: Aniston makes for good angry-funny when she's allowed, Sudeikis trades on his all-American persona to make sly detours whenever he can, Offerman, Katherine Hahn and Ed Helms are sturdy, idiosyncratic support and, as the moronic carnival employee, Young steals every screen moment he gets ("I work the Monkey Maze... it's a terrifying death trap but for little kids."). There are even enough laughs to warrant not changing the channel too quickly when it finds its final resting place on a cable network devoted to films soon forgotten. But those laughs come with padding and caution and bloat, condescension and moralizing and timidity, none of which have any place in a film where a bickering drug-smuggling "family" winds up making out with each other. Pick a side and have the courage of your perverted convictions. Otherwise, why bother making a movie at all?

Blackhawks win wild Game 4 in OT, tie series
- Brent Seabrook scores in overtime to win wild game
- Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane score first goals of the series
- Patrice Bergeron scores twice for the Bruins
BOSTON -- Patrick Sharp says the Chicago Blackhawks essentially passed a stress test Wednesday when they survived a wild high-stakes pond hockey game to beat the Boston Bruins 6-5 in overtime to tie the best-of-seven Stanley Cup Final at 2-2.
"I know (coach) Joel Quenneville probably had a high heart rate the whole game," the Blackhawks forward said. "He wasn't too happy with some of the chances we were giving up. But in the game, he was proud of the way we competed and battled."
Chicago defenseman Brent Seabrook cranked a slap shot through traffic and past goalie Tuukka Rask at 9:51 of overtime to turn the series into a best-of-three heading into Game 5 Saturday in Chicago.
"That (shot) was a bomb," said Chicago goalie Corey Crawford, who made 28 saves in a game that was more reminiscent of the way NHL hockey was played in the 1980s.
BOX SCORE:Blackhawks 6, Bruins 5 (OT)
Defense was loose. Players were thinking offense. It was a crazy game.
The Blackhawks went ahead 5-4 at 11:19 of the third period when Sharp scored Chicago's first power play goal of the series, and then Johnny Boychuk tied it 55 seconds later with a booming slap shot. The Bruins erased leads of 3-1 and 4-2 to force overtime. It was as if the NHL teams were trying to match the NBA's comeback storyline of Tuesday night.
"You never doubt the heart and character in this room. ... We've been in tough situations before, but we believe in each other," Sharp said.
The two teams scored a combined for five goals in the second period. That was the same number of goals they scored in the two previous games. The Blackhawks had scored one goal in the two previous games combined.
"One of those nights," Quenneville said. "Some pucks go in. We had some breaks around the net, found some loose pucks."
VIDEO:A look at the goal explosion
To spark the offense, Quenneville decided to reunite Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews, who had not played together regularly in the series, even though they had played well together at the end of the Western Conference finals.
Toews and Kane each scored their first goals of the series and had a plus 2 rating. Toews ended a 10-game goal-scoring slump. Their linemate, Bryan Bickell, was plus-3.
"I think it makes a world of difference for you when you finally see one go in," Toews said.
Quenneville was asked whether he regretted not using Toews and Kane together earlier in the series.
"You always get second-guessed," he said. "There are reasons why. At the same time, we didn't mind the way we played the first game, and the first part of the second game."
No question the Bickell-Toews-Kane line had sizzle.
"Johnny had the puck more today," Quenneville said. "I thought he was more friendly with it. That line was dangerous."
Remember that Boston coach Claude Julien is known as one of the league's better defensive coaches, a man who seems to figure out new ways to strangle the life out of offensive teams. The Bruins held the Pittsburgh Penguins to two goals in four games.
"I don't think we played our best game tonight," Julien said. "A lot of different reasons. I think our decision-making wasn't very good at times. I didn't think we were moving the puck as well as we had been in the past. It was certainly a tough outing."
With the score tied 1-1, Toews deflected Michal Rozsival's shot from the point at 6:33 to give Chicago a 2-1 lead.
MORE:Bruins 'made it tough on ourselves'
A lilttle more than two minutes later, Kane scored off a rebound, on a backhander, to make it a 3-1 game. Rozsival added his second assist.
With all of the momentum seemingly with Chicago, Milan Lucic scored from the slot to cut the margin to a goal at 14:43. But 49 seconds later, the Blackhawks' Marcus Kruger scored to to regain the two-goal lead.
The Bruins answered at 17:22 when Bergeron scored a freak goal resulting from the puck hitting the glass behind the net and caroming to the top of the net and falling into the crease. Bergeron tapped it in.
"It was a pretty sloppy game all around," said Boston defenseman Dennis Seidenberg. "There were too many breakdowns on our side."

Today marks the three-quarters mark in the expedited two-year research initiative funded by the National MS Society (USA) and the MS Society of Canada and looking at possible correlation between multiple sclerosis and CCSVI (chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency). As promised, the societies are releasing information on the seven research sites every six months, and I thought today's information worth commenting on.
For those who haven't been following the CCSVI conversation in these pages, there is a boisterous bundle of conversations on the topic in our archives.
While the studies are ongoing and most information is double-blinded, there are some interesting bits and bobs to report at this point.
The study taking place at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, Ontario, seeks to confirm whether CCSVI is a causative factor in MS. By studying the veins of the youngest set of people diagnosed with MS — children and teens — this team hopes to gauge any early role the venous system may have in multiple sclerosis (before "age-related" changes in the blood vessels or adult-onset health conditions like high blood pressure, heart disease, medications, etc.) might complicate the picture.
The team's study is fully enrolled and will not analyze data until all 90 participants (30 children with MS, 30 healthy controls of the same age, and 30 "graduates" — young adults who experienced onset of MS during childhood and received prior brain imaging and care at the hospital) are tested.
This study will help determine whether impaired venous drainage is indeed a core component of MS.
Hotchkiss Brain Institute in Calgary, Alberta, plans to study 120 people with MS and 60 age- and sex-matched healthy controls. To date, this study has only enrolled 98 participants. While they continue to recruit both healthy and MS subjects they have begun scanning participants using ultrasonography and magnetic resonance venography to measure venous outflow to see if there is any difference in venous outflow obstructions between the two groups.
University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, Madison, continue to recruit for their study of novel imaging methods and how different breathing and heartbeat patterns and level of hydration, as well as scans performed by different individuals, can affect testing outcomes. This team is also looking at ways to measure iron (a suspected result of CCSVI and theoretic factor — in the Zamboni theory — in development of MS) in the brain.
This team has submitted several abstracts of their data that are currently under review. Anyone in Wisconsin interested in getting a few scans???
Cleveland Clinic Foundation in Ohio is studying both the flow of blood from the brain and the vein structure itself. They have identified physiological and technical factors which can complicate screening. Their early results seem to support the Wisconsin study in several areas. One aspect of the study — using autopsy data from seven people who had MS in their lifetimes, compared to six who did not — seems to support the theory that people with MS may have a higher frequency of abnormalities than those who do not.
The Ottawa Hospital, University of Ottawa, Ontario, Study has entered phase II and they anticipate they will begin evaluating data on the comparison of the veins of 100 people without MS to those who live with the disease by mid February, 2012.
A dual team from The UBC Hospital MS clinic and Saskatoon MS Clinic hopes to study 200 subjects by March and begin preliminary analysis by April. This team reported high level of interest and response to recruitment and all investigators remain blinded to the status of subjects. Thus, no preliminary results are reported.
Finally, University of Texas Health Science Center, Houston, has recruited 82 percent of their expected study cohort.
This team has reported interesting findings thus far. They found "no significant differences between MS and non-MS, or within MS subgroups" as to venous drainage in the blinded study. The team has concluded that, thus far, they find less CCSVI than previously reported by other groups.
More information from this group, and the others, is expected within the next six months, when the studies should be concluded and, at the very least, all data will be under analysis.
I know this might be a bit dry (and there are LOADS of links, for those so inclined), but I wanted to give all of you who might be interested a chance to see what's happening in this area of research.
Oh, and by the way, our latest blog for the MS Society of the UK posted this week if you'd like to have a read.
Wishing you and your family the best of health.
Don't forget that you can also follow me via my Life With MS Facebook page and on Twitter. Check out our bi-monthly blog I'm doing for the Multiple Sclerosis Society of the United Kingdom, A Yank's Life With MS, as well as our very special new monthly blog for the National MS Society.

- Description
For years saxophonists around the world have enjoyed the benefits of RooPads™. The Kangaroo leather for these pads is meticulously inspected, cut and hand selected by us here at MusicMedic.com. Only the finest portions of the skin are used. The final results are of superior quality to any other woodwind pad on the market.
The famous RooPad leather and its superior feel, strength, longevity and non-stickiness are now available for Clarinet, and we have taken the quality up a notch!
This pad is constructed to be flat and consistent while offering some forgiveness where the tone hole is concerned. This amazing result is obtained by the entire pad from the bottom up:
First, we use a very firm chipboard backing that holds the pad felt level and true. We then stack on our deep-weave™ pressed felt and glue it to the cardboard backing, this holds the felt in place and keeps all parts of the pad flat. For air and water tightness, we wrap the pad in a layer of bladder skin much like our standard clarinet pads.
Around this firm and consistent base, we wrap a very thin layer of our famous MusicMedic.com RooPad leather. Because our Kangaroo leather is so strong, it can be cut very thin for a tight and square fit. This rigorous process has allowed us to produce a pad worthy of the name RooPads. We are very proud to offer this product to the clarinet world!

Don't even think of reading on if you haven't watched Sunday night's "Survivor" finale. We don't want to hear your spoiler sobbing, so just don't do it.
OK, so who survived the 26th season of "Survivor"?
U.S. & World
Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.
"Survivor: Caramoan" crowned it's winner Sunday during the season finale, and after almost 40 days and two medical evacuations it was down to Dawn Meehan, Sherri Biethman and John Cochran.
But the one who took it all was...
NEWS: Seth Meyers officially replacing Jimmy Fallon
Cochran, with a unanimous vote!
"Obviously, it feels incredible," Cochran said after he was named the Sole Survivor and was sent home $1 million richer. "I've loved this game for half of my life. It's a dream come true."
The news may not come as a total shock to fans who have been following this season, since Cochran had smooth sailing throughout the show. Regardless, it is a great victory for the guy who was once battling on "Survivor: South Pacific," and deemed weak.
Talk about redemption.

Emden Elementary presents 7th annual Veterans Program Friday
Send a link to a friend
05, 2012]
EMDEN -- The public is cordially
invited to attend the seventh annual Veterans Program at Emden
Elementary, sponsored by Mrs. Marilyn Willmert and her fourth-grade
students. The program will be on Friday at 1:30 p.m. Students in
kindergarten through sixth grade will share special music as the
school recognizes and thanks all veterans in attendance.
There will be
three speakers for the program this year.
Mr. John Dust, from Land of Lincoln Honor Flight, has some photos
and a DVD of the day trip, with a few humorous bits included to
share. The Land of Lincoln Honor Flight program provides
transportation and meals for a special all-day trip to Washington,
D.C., during which area veterans are able to visit the World War II,
Korean, Vietnam, Air Force and other memorials. Several members of
the community have taken this trip and are very animated as they
share what a wonderful experience it was for them.
David Last, the son of the Emden school's "Grandma Doris," graduated
from Hartem and enlisted in the Air Force in 1975 for four years.
Then he joined the Illinois National Guard, where he is still
active. He flew Huey helicopters and currently pilots Black Hawk
helicopters. He has served in Iraq and Kosovo. He is the state
safety officer for the Illinois National Guard and will wear his
flight suit as he shares with the audience at the program.
[to top of second column]
The last speaker will be Carrie Nowatney, assistant
librarian in the school district, who will be sharing about her experiences while
in the military. She was a psychological operations specialist stationed at Fort Bragg, N.C.
She was sent to Turkey
and also did duty in Stuttgart, Germany. She spent one year of her military
service in language school, learning Turkish.
The local Ladies' Auxiliary is accepting donations of crew socks
and personal-size soap and toothpaste for homeless veterans. These
items may be dropped off at the school anytime this week during
school hours, or they may be placed in the donation box that will be
available the day of the program.

How 12 years of history led to Red Hat's big bet on cloud computing
As though an invisible hand was leading their progress over the past 12 years, Red Hat is not positioned to make a splash in the world of open source cloud computing.
Paul Cormier, Red Hat's President of Products and Technologies, has already convinced himself of the virtues of his company's twelve month shift in focus. His Wednesday morning keynote address at the Red Hat Summit in Boston's Hynes Convention Center represented Cormier's opportunity to convince the gathered community of open-source developers and Red Hat partners that indeed, the company's latest push into the world of cloud computing was the right one, providing value to developers, partners and business leaders alike.
We always knew that the road to Redmond was through Sun and Mountainview.
Paul Cormier, Red Hat President of Products and Technologies
"Over the last twelve months we have transformed the company" said Cormier, promising that the various products and tools to be released and promoted this June would be ones that "define the next generation of computing." But before explaining the details of Red Hat's transformation over the past twelve months, Cormier felt the need to explain how his company had evolved over the past twelve years to become an organization that is uniquely positioned to take the lead in the cloud computing space.
How twelve years led to twelve months
"We always knew that the road to Redmond was through Sun and Mountainview" said Cormier about the first, big bet Red Hat ever made. In fact, most observers would consider it less of a strategic move and more of a basic definition of what the company is all about, that being the commoditization of the proprietary UNIX platform through RHEL (Red Hat Enterprise Linux) and Fedora. Love them or hate them, Red Hat will always be known as the company that harnessed the open source community, and through the safety net known as the customer support agreement, subsequently legitimized the Linux operating system to the point where every technical player and enterprise organization was comfortable enough to install the OS into the deepest depths of data center.
But an operating system needs software, and Red Hat's recognition that a world class, open source operating system needed a complimentary development platform was borne out with the acquisition of JBoss and the accompanying suite of popular open source projects that include such stalwarts as Hibernate, RichFaces and Arquillian. "How do I not go to .NET?" was a challenge many customers brought to Red Hat at the turn of the century. With the acquisition of JBoss, Red Hat answered that questions by promoting Java based, open-source software as their recommended alternative.
Beyond the OS and middleware
And once the operating system and the development platform was unified under the Red Hat roof, virtualization started trending. "We recognized that the hypervisor was just part of the operating system," said Cormier, which eventually led to the Red Hat acquisition of Qumranet and their kernel based Virtual Machine (KVM) technology that works so well with RHEL and the proprietary hardware on which it runs.
So why did Paul Cormier unwittingly feel the need to push a history lesson on the attendees of the 2013 Red Hat Summit? Cormier was demonstrating how a ten year history of strategic, yet seemingly unrelated directional changes and corporate acquisitions, have all come together. It is as though there was an invisible hand guiding the entire process to position Red Hat to be not just a player, but the leader in the cloud computing space, and to be a leader in this space not with proprietary intellectual property, but to instead lead the way with open source software and tools instead.
After all, there is no cloud computing without virtualization, and Red Hat is well vested in virtualization through Qumranet and KVM. And as Cormier states quite unequivocally "middleware is the key to cloud computing", as any cloud based system requires a strong middleware foundation to tie the various parts together. Red Hat is knee deep in middleware through their JBoss arm. And of course, all of this cloud computing stuff needs an underlying operating system upon which it must be built, and RHEL bears the company's namesake. Looking at Red Hat's history, understanding what is required to build an enterprise class, cloud computing platform, and putting it all together, a bet the company move on cloud computing seems like less of a gamble, and more of a natural progression forward.
Let us know what you think of Red Hat's increased focus on cloud computing technology.

UPDATED! 'Snuff' Casting: Thora Birch and Daryl Hannah Not Attached
UPDATE: Earlier this week I posted a News update about Fabien Martorell, the man who currently has the film option to adapt Snuff. He informed me that Daryl Hannah, Thora Birch and Tom Sizemore were on board.
The next day, SlashFilm, a respected and very popular movie site that I frequent, posted this story:
Here was the portion of the story that concerned this bit of casting news Fabien told me:
But Jeff Snieder from Variety was quick to call out the casting as premature via Twitter. ("Absolutely NO TRUTH to THORA BIRCH doing SNUFF. Hasn't even read a script. Got a vehement denial. THIS IS WHY YOU CHECK IT WHEN TALENT TALKS.") And Deadline chimed in with an equally vehement denial for Daryl Hannah, relaying that her reps say she's never heard of the project. Furthermore, given that she speaks out against sex trafficking, she is 'embarrassed' by the association. (Now, I haven't read Snuff, and the plot sounds rather horrifying, but it also sounds like something that would actually make the sex industry in general and porn specifically look pretty bad and damaging. Perhaps I'm wrong.) So: for now, not happening.
Upon seeing this news, I immediatley emailed Fabien to get him to comment on the development. Today his rep contacted me with this official statement:
Daryl Hannah and Thora Birch's Agent sent us LOIs (Letter of Intent) with his signature to express their interest in Snuff. After mutual consideration, we have decided not to follow up our collaboration. Tom Sizemore is, of course, still on-board.
At this point, Fabien is moving on with other casting, but he assured me again today, that Tom Sizemore is still on board.

Four southwest Oklahoma entrepreneurs have been selected to vie for the Project DREAM title. The finalists were among those who submitted their business ideas to Project DREAM, an initiative of Cameron University's Center for Emerging Technology and Entrepreneurial Studies (CETES) and part of the statewide Dream Big Oklahoma initiative. The finalists will pitch to a panel of experts who will determine the winner(s), who could win up to $5,000 to pursue their business. The winning selection will also be eligible to compete for a statewide grand prize. The presentations will take place on Friday, March 14 at 3 p.m. in the CETES Conference Center and is open to the public.
The finalists are Meegan McKay, Altus; Pat Nettles-Page, Lawton; Dana Southall, Blair; and Richard Stanton, Fletcher. Below are their proposals as submitted to the Project DREAM website.
Meegan McKay – Artes pro Vita Academy
"Artes pro Vita Academy is an online life skills curriculum offering an education and support community to people of all ages in pursuit of optimal living. AVA is a start-up company seeking funding to purchase software and equipment, continue product development and use as working capital."
Pat Nettles-Paige – PNP Enterprises (Educational Gaming)
"Our business is to explore, research, and develop an educational learning game using advance technology and Augmented Reality. Teaching, Assessment and Learning through History Gaming and Augmented Reality or Advance Technology (TALHGAR or TALHGAT) is an innovative way to teach, provide a meaningful learning experience to solidify and influence learning."
Dana Southall – The Stitchin' Shop
"The Stitchin' Shop began in the back room of our home with a single needle portable embroidery machine. It didn't take long for me to realize that there was a need and demand for the items I was creating! Still working in the back room of our home, my next purchase was a multi-needle machine. At this point, I was driving the hundred miles a day to my full-time job and coming home every night to work on orders that had slowly started to trickle in. And then the orders began coming in faster and faster. The Stitchin' Shop has grown from a single needle machine in the back room to two multi-needle machines, a store front, and screen printing! If awarded the grant, I would use the funds to purchase a newer model used machine as well as additional equipment and software needed to help my business grow."
Richard Stanton - Peter Rabbits Natural (Fiber Mill)
"Currently we raise sheep and goats on our 160-acre farm in Fletcher. In the fall, we grow pumpkins and sell hay. We are applying for this contest because we have noticed a huge need for a fiber mill in southwest Oklahoma. In recent years, the production of natural fibers in Oklahoma has exploded with the popularity of alpaca and llamas and the traditional fibers of Oklahoma raised sheep and goats. Independent fiber mills that service family-owned farms are hard to find. Currently, there is only one fiber mill in Oklahoma. The owners of the Durant Milling Plant want to sell their mill and retire. We would like to expand this mill by moving the operation to our farm in Fletcher. The move would create additional jobs and bring a much needed expansion of natural fiber milling to the entire state."

I followed different strategies suggested in Ubuntu and Mint forums with a little success. Then I found the page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Binar ... wto/Nvidia and the suggested edit of xorg.conf plus blacklist.conf resolved the issue for me. No more freezes. Apparently, when resuming from suspend confusion can arise and the wrong drivers can be activated.
Two weeks ago my hardware self-destructed so I upgraded to an i5 on a new motherboard including some new intel video capability. This week I noticed the screen freeze again. After mastering:
I discovered the intel i915 driver present and active (I think). I have extended my blacklist to include it:
Code: Select all
~/ lspci | grep VGA ... to see the pci controllers
~/ cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log |less ... the log
~/ sudo lshw | less ... the current view
The problem has been absent for a number of days. Hopefully this might help someone else experiencing the same issues. I will amend this thread if the problem arises again.
Code: Select all
blacklist intel_agp
blacklist nouveau
blacklist i915
Cross Posted in Ubuntu forums as well in case people with U12 are seeing the same issue.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry were joined by world's fastest man Usain Bolt as they visited athletes competing in the Commonwealth Games.
The Royal trio and the Jamaican sprint star chatted and posed for photographs in the athletes' village in Glasgow as hundreds of people gathered to catch a glimpse of the visitors.
The royals also played ball games with school children after meeting some of the host nation's medal winners at Team Scotland's accommodation.
They were joined on their tour of the site by the country's most successful Olympian Sir Chris Hoy, who is also chieftain of the village.
Their visit comes the day after they joined thousands of spectators at the Games, taking in gymnastics, boxing, hockey and swimming.
After arriving at the village in the east end of the city today, they met Scottish judo gold medal winner Chris Sherrington and swimmers Ross Murdoch and Erraid Davies.
They were then given a tour of the recreation facilities for the athletes, where Prince William played video games with some of the Welsh women's hockey team.
All three moved on to the village green where they heard a performance of the Games' anthem for Unicef from a group of local school children.
They then joined in the ball games traditionally played in countries from across the Commonwealth.

How to Use
the Readings
Inquiry Question
Reading 1
Reading 3: Finishing the Monument
Interest in the Monument grew after the Civil War ended. Engineers studied the foundation several times to see whether it remained strong enough. In 1876, the Centennial of the Declaration of Independence, Congress agreed to appropriate another $200,000 to resume construction. The Monument, which had stood for nearly 20 years at less than one-third of its proposed height, now seemed ready for completion.
Before work could begin again, however, arguments about the most appropriate design resumed. Many people thought that a simple obelisk, one without the colonnade, would be too bare. Architect Mills was reputed to have said that omitting the colonnade would make the monument look like "a stalk of asparagus;" another critic said it offered "little...to be proud of."
This attitude led people to submit alternative designs. Both the Washington National Monument Society and Congress held discussions about how the Monument should be finished. The society considered five new designs, concluding that the one by William Wetmore Story (see Visual Evidence, Drawing 3) seemed "vastly superior in artistic taste and beauty." Congress deliberated over those five as well as Mills's original; while it was deciding, it ordered work on the obelisk to continue. Finally, the members of the Society agreed to abandon the colonnade and alter the obelisk so it conformed to classical Egyptian proportions.
Construction resumed in 1879 under the direction of Lieutenant Colonel Thomas L. Casey of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Casey redesigned the foundation, strengthening it so it could support a structure that would ultimately weigh more than 40,000 tons. He then followed the society's orders and figured out what to do with the memorial stones that had accumulated. Though many people ridiculed them, Casey managed to install all 193 stones in the interior walls.
The building of the Monument proceeded quickly now that Congress had provided sufficient funding. In four years it was finally completed, with the 3,300-pound marble capstone being put in place on December 6, 1884, during another elaborate dedication ceremony. The completed monument stands 555' 5-1/8" tall, with exterior walls of white marble from Maryland and the interior ones lined with Maine granite.
The Washington Monument drew enormous crowds even before it opened officially. During the six months that followed its dedication, 10,041 people climbed the 893 steps to the top. After the elevator that had been used to raise building materials was altered so that it could carry passengers, the number of visitors grew rapidly. As early as 1888 an average of 55,000 people a month went to the top, and today the Washington Monument has more than 800,000 visitors each year.
Questions for Reading 3
1. Do you think the remaining memorial stones should have been included? Why or why not?
2. Other monuments, such as the Lincoln and Jefferson Memorials, include a large representation of the figure they honor. Would the Washington Monument have been more appropriate if it was clearer who it commemorated?
Reading 3 was compiled from the visitor's guide, "Washington Monument," (Washington, D.C.: National Park Service); materials from the Washington National Monument Society; and Louis Torres, The United States Army Corps of Engineers and the Construction of the Washington Monument (Washington, D.C.: Historical Division, Office of Administrative Services, Office of the Chief of Engineers, 1984).

Daring Bakers : January : Nanaimo Bars
The January 2010 Daring Bakers' challenge was hosted by Lauren of Celiac Teen. Lauren chose Gluten-Free Graham Wafers and Nanaimo Bars as the challenge for the month. The sources she based her recipe on are 101 Cookbooks and www.nanaimo.ca.
I know that Nanaimo bars were a brand new confection for some of my fellow Daring Bakers. For me, they are a thing of my childhood. My mother didn't make them. My grandmother didn't make them. My best friends mother made them. Not often, but when she did, swoon, I was in sugar heaven. I live a mere 25 minutes from the Canadian border in a cute little college town dubbed Bellingham (in Washington). I'd never eaten or even heard of a Nanaimo bar before moving here, they sell them in our bakeries, our grocery stores, and people bake them in their kitchens. Perhaps it's something about being so close to the Canadian town that made these bars famous. Still, I haven't tasted one in nearly ten years. Now I know why. I couldn't get enough of Nanaimo bars as a young girl, then again, I couldn't get enough of sugar period. Don't get me wrong, I still have a deep love for sugar (hello, I'm a Daring Baker), but these bars are like a punch in the tastebuds. Just too much of a good thing. The buttery filling is insanely sweet. The chocolate just adds more intense sweetness. I think the only thing I really truly loved was the crust. In fact, I found myself gnawing the bottom off the small square I cut this afternoon, throwing the rest (filling and chocolate) away. To know me is to know that this is nearly unheard of, throwing any dessert in the garbage. I don't think I even realized my dislike until I found myself tossing the sad looking remains in the trash can. I supposed I don't care much for Nanaimo bars any longer. It is absolutely not the recipe. They taste just as good, if not better, than the Nanaimo bars of my childhood. It's not the bars, it's my taste. I promise. I love things now that I used to despise. And vice versa, apparently!
I had a fantastic time making my own graham crackers. Now, graham crackers, there's something I never care to eat. Store bought, flavor lacking, thin, cardboard-esque cookie imposters. Despite that, I've wanted to try my hand at baking my own for a very long time. I wondered if the 'real' thing would be better, it had to be. It was so simple. So incredibly simple I wondered why in the world it took me so long. Really. It doesn't get much simpler than a homemade graham cracker. And they are nothing like those sad plastic packaged 'crackers' they sell in every grocery store. Sweet, crispy, light, and they fill the air with the most heavenly scent. I will surely be breaking these out with homemade marshmallows come summertime bonfires.

The Cheat : Apricot Turkey Sandwiches On Sweet Potato Rolls
Apricot Turkey Sandwich on Sweet Potato Rolls, originally uploaded by miss.mallory.
Enough personal stuff, right? Let's talk food.
Onto my statement "I'm a cheat". That delectable sandwich pictured above is not something I can take all that much credit for. Putting the darn thing between a sweet potato roll? Yes. The actual sandwich? No. That creation, the wonder that is turkey and swiss paired with mayo and homemade apricot preserves was the ever amazing Rachelle's. You see, Rachelle is (I hope I'm correct in using the word is) a fellow food blogger and very dear friend. 5 months ago she all but abandoned her fabulous blog Use the Good China. Life for her too changed a bit, a new place has meant less desire to blog. I know she misses her old place, the place she first started blogging and discovered much of her creative spirit. I'm hoping she returns (soon), if you feel like it, head over and harass her to do so (I kid, I harass her enough)! Rachelle is the queen of comfort, she's a classic that one. The night before christmas eve she invited me over for tea and sandwiches. I knew I wasn't in for the plain old version of a tea sandwich and I was right. For me, a girl who believes you can obsessively love both sweet and savory at the same time (c'mon, how could you possibly choose sides?) this sandwich truly satisfies all of my tastebuds needs. The addition of the apricot preserve does magical wonders to the classic turkey swiss combo. It's tangy, sweet and sticky, the perfect pairing with moist turkey and nutty swiss. As I gobbled down sandwich after sandwich I couldn't help but wonder how I had not thought of such an obviously ingenious pairing myself. In the last couple of weeks I've dedicated dinners to this sandwich. This week, I did a test run for this weekends 'Around the Table' dinner by mixing up a batch of sweet potato rolls from Pinch My Salt. I settled on her bread because out of all the reviews I read (and ingredients) her version received the highest marks. As a born again avid fan of sweet potato, as many have said about many different sweet potato recipes, this didn't have a strong sweet potato taste I was dreaming of. But, upon further thought I realized that's kind of impossible. Potatoes whether they be sweet, golden, or any other variety aren't violent in flavor, they're all pretty mild. They were a huge hit (particularly on their own slathered with butter or dipped in pesto), gone in less than 24 hours. They took Rachelle's version of a turkey sandwich over the moon. I can't wait to bust these gems out filled with turkey, apricot, swiss, mayo, and red onion, at my first picnic of the year (a picnic I may have to wait months for, until the sun makes a more permanent return to the Northwest) until then, I'll have to enjoy them from the comfort of my kitchen sofa!

Swoon : Spinach Soup
This is yet another recipe from Elise's Simply Recipes. First let me apologize, I feel like I've only been offering you samples of others recipes and blogs. I promise I've got some original recipes of my own on the horizon. My saving grace is that I haven't really done much of this, that is, simply regurgitating others brilliance. Problem is, there are so, so, so many outstanding recipes and food sites our there that it's hard not to share them with you once and a while. Clearly I'm a follower. If I like something, I go back, time and time again, if I trust a source, I use it religiously. Simply Recipes is one of those sources for me. Thus the second post about one of Elise's recipes in a month or two. This time, you'll have to head on over there yourself to get the recipe. This is pretty much just a rave review.
Years ago I was slightly obsessed with cream of spinach soup. I must've been about thirteen or fourteen. A dear friend requested a backyard tea party for her July birthday. Her mother obliged. So there we sat in the backyard, our feet swimming in the warm green grass, eating dainty bowls of her mothers famous cream of spinach soup, pillowy white crustless sandwiches filled with various ingredients, and an array of sweets. I will always remember that humid July day, there was something magical about it. From that point on, for about a year, I was obsessed. I asked her mother for the recipe and the rest is history. I made that soup so much during the cold months that year I'm surprised I didn't turn a pale shade of green. I still have that thin lined piece of paper in an old recipe book. I pull it out from time to time, whip up a batch of soup, and reminisce on the simplicity of life as a young thing. It was time to switch up though. Test the waters. See what else is out there. For the most part I've been fairly unimpressed with most other cream of spinach soups. They don't really compare. Elise's does. It's far creamier than my handed down recipe. Maybe that's why I like it so much. It too has potatoes. Potatoes in spinach soup are a must for me. They add body, thickness and texture to the soup. I've been loving this soup so much that I've made it twice in the last two weeks. It's fantastic on it's own, and even better the next day reheated for sandwich dipping (better than tomato soup, in my opinion). I think I might be in danger of turning green again. My new hand blender has made the whole process that much easier. Meaning, I can make it way more often, and much faster. For this last batch I had a leek hanging around my fridge that decided he wanted to be thrown in. I would highly suggest you think about doing the same. Leek, spinach, potato and cream is simply a match made in ingredient heaven. But, I'm a lover of all things onion-y, like leeks. In honor of that lovely birthday afternoon I shot the soup in one of my favorite teacups. If you're looking for a fun way to serve soup as a first course, even if you're not having a tea party, think tea cups. They're all so unique and gorgeous, it makes the experience of eating soup that much more special. We've still got a few cold months ahead of us, at least we do here in the Northwest. Now's the time to whip up a big pot of soup, and wait for the warmer weather to arrive.

The Kitchen Sink : Round Two
Chocolate Kitchen Sink Cookies, originally uploaded by miss.mallory.
I hope you don't consider this to be a complete cheat. A while back I posted my first kitchen sink cookie. So, consider this round two. If you didn't know this already, I'm cookie obsessed. My top three dessert list would probably look something like this: 1. Cake 2. Cookies 3. Everything else lovely and sweet. To me, cookies are just so easy to whip up on a moments notice. In fact, I made this batch after my first round of cocktails out on the town New Years Eve. That's partially what I love about cookies. You crave. You can throw together and bake in no time. Craving satisfied. No fuss, no mess, low failure probability, even after a cocktail (or two). In my opinion these weren't a huge success. I had no recipe. I simply adapted one of my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipes to incorporate whatever I had in the cupboard, which was (in no particular order): baking chocolate, coconut shavings, slivered almonds, oatmeal and white chocolate. My half inebriated self thought that all these elements go into a cookie at one time or another, so why not all of them all at once at this very moment. . . Again, no recipe, it wasn't an exact science, but, I will share with you what I remember. They may not have been the gooey, chewy cookie I was going for, they were in fact the opposite, a bit dry and dense (not in a terrible way though), however, they were gone in a flash. My friends gobbled nearly the whole batch down in a few hours flat. So, they couldn't have been horrid, right? One described them as breakfast cookie-esque. So, if this post inspires you to do anything, I say go wild, get in your baking cupboard, make up a dough and throw whatever you've got in that bowl!

What are you up to this summer? I will be catching up with relatives in California and Oregon. I also hope to get a part-time job in my town. I am most looking forward to going to the beach and spending time with my family.
Tell us about your research experience. I have completed two research studies. Last semester, I examined how religious leaders in the community came to their positions as church leaders. I completed my second research study ("A Preliminary Investigation on the Effects of the Criminalization of Youth Offenses") this past semester; it focused on the criminalization of youth offenses. I studied two models of institutionalization: the group home and the detention facility model.
What should every student do before he or she graduates? Every student should take a Philosophy class. Although I am not pursuing either a major or a minor in philosophy, if I had more room in my schedule then I would most certainly take as many philosophy classes as I possibly could. Philosophy will help you with every other class that you take, not only with your critical thinking skills, but also your ability to convey ideas in a clear and concise manner. It makes you question all of your beliefs and that is an invaluable experience that everyone needs to go through, something that is an integral component of one's college education.
Favorite Chestertown hangout? I love to go to the Freeze. When you are craving a simple meal of a burger and a shake, it's the best place to go with your friends. They have so many options on their menu and there are always a lot of college students coming and going.

WASHINGTON — The Central Intelligence Agency, working closely with foreign partners, thwarted a plot by the branch of Al Qaeda in Yemen to smuggle an experimental bomb aboard an airliner bound for the United States, intelligence officials said on Monday.
The intelligence services detected the scheme as it took shape in mid-April, officials said, and the explosive device was seized in the Middle East outside Yemen about a week ago before it could be deployed.
It appeared that Qaeda leaders had dispatched a suicide bomber from Yemen with instructions to board a flight to the United States with the device under his clothes, but that he had been stopped before reaching an airport. Representative Peter T. King, Republican of New York and chairman of the Homeland Security Committee, said counterterrorism officials had said of the bomber: "We don't have to worry about him anymore." He is alive, officials said, but they would not to say whether he was in foreign custody.
But the disclosure was a worrisome sign that Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula remains determined to attack the United States even after a C.I.A. drone strike in Yemen in September killed its two operatives who were American citizens, Anwar al-Awlaki and Samir Khan. American officials said the group had established new training camps after seizing territory in recent months as a result of the upheaval from the Arab Spring.
Officials said they believed that the new device was the work of the group's skilled bomb maker, Ibrahim Hassan al-Asiri, who has long been a target of American counterterrorism efforts. Mr. Asiri is also believed to have designed the explosives used in two previous attempts to take down airliners bound for the United States.
The plot was disclosed a day after an American drone strike in Yemen killed Fahd Mohammed Ahmed al-Quso, who was wanted for the bombing of the destroyer Cole in Yemen in 2000 and had replaced Mr. Awlaki as the external operations chief for the Qaeda branch. Though the device was seized close to the anniversary of the killing of Osama bin Laden, the Qaeda founder, officials said they had picked up no intelligence suggesting that the plot had been timed to the May 2 anniversary or motivated by revenge.
Officials would not explain the delay in revealing the plot, saying that discussing the case in too much detail could endanger counterterrorism operations.
The Associated Press, which broke the news Monday afternoon, said that it had uncovered the existence of the bomb last week, but that the White House and the C.I.A. had asked it not to publish the news immediately because the intelligence operation was still under way. Once officials said those concerns had been allayed, The A.P. reported, it decided to disclose the plot despite requests from the Obama administration to wait for an official announcement on Tuesday.
The F.B.I. said its explosive experts were conducting "technical and forensics analysis" on the device to understand whether it was an advance over previous bombs designed by A.Q.A.P., as the Yemen branch of the terrorist network is known. It contained no metal parts and had a different kind of detonator, designed to escape detection at airport security, American officials said.
Senator Dianne Feinstein, the California Democrat who is chairwoman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, was briefed on the plot on Monday and said the bomb was "a new design and very difficult to detect by magnetometer," the conventional type of metal detector still used in most world airports.
A senior administration official who spoke on the condition of anonymity said "the sophistication of the I.E.D. is concerning," using the abbreviation for an improvised explosive device.
The Department of Homeland Security said it had "no specific, credible information regarding an active terrorist plot against the U.S. at this time."
The latest plot underscored statements by President Obama's counterterrorism adviser, John O. Brennan, that the Yemen affiliate of Al Qaeda remains the most active and dangerous terrorist group targeting the United States.
The White House said Mr. Brennan had repeatedly briefed the president on the latest plot since its detection.
A National Security Council spokeswoman, Caitlin Hayden, said Mr. Obama "thanks all intelligence and counterterrorism professionals involved for their outstanding work and for serving with the extraordinary skill and commitment that their enormous responsibilities demand."
On Dec. 25, 2009, a Nigerian militant trained by the Qaeda branch in Yemen, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, ignited explosives hidden in his underwear aboard a jetliner headed for Detroit, but burned only himself. In October 2010, authorities acting on a tip from Saudi Arabian intelligence found bombs packed inside computer printer cartridges en route from Yemen to Chicago; the devices were removed from cargo planes in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and the East Midlands Airport in Britain.
In addition, in August 2009, a member of A.Q.A.P. blew himself up in Saudi Arabia in an unsuccessful attack against Mohammed bin Nayef, Saudi Arabia's counterterrorism chief.
Saudi intelligence has closely cooperated with the Obama administration in counterterrorism efforts in Yemen. American officials declined to say which foreign intelligence services had helped foil the latest plot.
The senior administration official said that in contrast to the attack on Dec. 25, 2009, and the printer plot, the C.I.A. and its foreign partners had been "carefully monitoring this from early on." While it showed that the terrorist group still intended to take down an airliner, the official suggested that American counterterrorism officials had gained the upper hand, at least for now.
"We have robust intelligence on their operations, and we killed their external operations chief on Sunday," the official said.
Mr. King, of the Homeland Security Committee, said information on the unfolding case had been "tightly held," without the usual briefings for members of Congress on continuing operations until Monday. He said officials "were shocked that this had gotten out" before the announcement planned for Tuesday.
A senior law enforcement official said it was unclear if the Qaeda group in Yemen had built more of the devices.
"If they built one, they probably built more," said the official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the operation's delicate nature. "That's the scary part."

I am given a list in MS Excel of 554 statistical units (called Primary Sampling Units or PSUs) from another department and have to query all 554 PSUs from a SQL Server 2008 Spatial database table (PSUs_2012) that contains over 6000 PSUs.
I want to avoid having to type each of the 554 PSU numbers in the WHERE clause and is wondering if there is a way that I can write a query that takes values from a specified column (e.g. PSU_Number) in the Excel/CSV table and return all the rows with the same PSU numbers in the PSUs_2012 database table. I can also import the (excel/csv) data into the same database but would still have the same problem of how I should go about querying the main table (PSUs_2012) using all the values in a column of another table. Note that PSU numbers are unique IDs and are in both data sets with identical column names.
Please note that I am new to databases and programming but willing to learn, fast. Solutions using PostgreSQL and SpatiaLite are also welcome.

Thus if we do not research about this, someone else will. I am looking at something:
That is what the site says.The Rich Ajax Platform lets you build rich, Ajax-enabled Web applications by using the Eclipse development model, plug-ins with the well known Eclipse workbench extension points and a widget toolkit with SWT API.
What do you think if we look at this as an alternative UI for iDempiere? RAP is native in Eclipse and built in the Equniox OSGi framework. And IBM behind Eclipse has a good history not known to sell off or commercialize or cannibalize but a very daring community approach. Again, WDYT?

Coman turned down Arsenal for Juve
Kingsley Coman turned down moves to Arsenal, Tottenham and Newcastle to join Juventus from Paris Saint-Germain.
- Transfer Talk: Live blog
Coman, 18, became the youngest player to feature for PSG in Ligue 1 when he made his first-team debut in February 2013.
Though he made just a further two top-flight appearances under Laurent Blanc last season, the attacking midfielder was a regular participant in training sessions with the likes of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Thiago Silva, and made his France under-21 debut last month.
The French champions had offered him a professional contract, but Coman rejected that in favour of a move to Turin, and told Corriere dello Sport he had had his pick of destinations, including the Gunners.
"Newcastle, Arsenal and Tottenham were interested in me," the teenager said. "But I chose to join Juventus because of their history. It was the club of Platini, Zidane and Trezeguet."

Aram Bartholl is a german artist renowned for making physical abstractions of the digital world, particularly game-worlds.
One of Aram's not-to-be-missed performances is inspired by the popular computer game World of Warcraft (WoW).
In WoW, the nickname of the player's avatar is constantly hovering above the head of the player so that the identity is visible for everyone else in the game.
Aram took this little feature out of cyberspace to see how it would look if people's names would float above their heads in the physical world too.
WoW has been performed at different locations around the world. Luckily, it is well-documented!

Aesthetics and Politics
REALIZING THE IMPOSSIBLE: ART AGAINST AUTHORITY by Josh MacPhee, Erik Reuland, editors :: There has always been a close relationship between aesthetics and politics in anti-authoritarian social movements. And those movements have in turn influenced many of the last century's most important art movements, including cubism, Dada, post-impressionism, abstract expressionism, surrealism, Fluxus, Situationism, and punk. Today, the movement against corporate globalization, with its creative acts of resistance, has brought anti-authoritarian politics into the forefront. This sprawling, inclusive collection explores this vibrant history, with topics ranging from turn-of-the-century French cartoonists to modern Indonesian printmaking, from people rolling giant balls of trash down Chicago streets to massive squatted urban villages and renegade playgrounds in Denmark, from stencil artists of Argentina to radical video collectives of the US and Mexico. Lots of illustrations, all b&w.;

The Accounting Historians Journal Vol. 13, No. 1 Spring 1986
Guest Editorial ON WRITING FOR THE JOURNAL
Reading and assessing a large number of manuscripts, essays, papers and dissertations over a considerable number of years, I have formed a few notions of what I regard as their desirable and undesirable features. These I offer here in the hope that they may help authors to attract the goodwill and gratitude of the editors to whom they submit their efforts.
Members of the Academy understand and appreciate the need to maintain a high standard for published articles. We do not want to have our products exhibited in a medium that does not com-mand respect, and the way a journal commands respect is for its editor to require a consistently high standard in the papers that are published. I hope I speak for all of us when I say that I feel it is an honour to have an article published in The Accounting Historians Journal.
Even with the assistance of referees or the advice of an editorai board, an editor's job is difficult; authors have an opportunity to help by taking care with work that is submitted for consideration. This is a learned journal, and seeks to advance the level of scholar-ship in the field of accounting history. The field is interesting and it is worthy of good quality writing. If an author has something to say which (s)he considers to be of interest to others, it is surely worth taking pains to try to make it interesting to read.
The essential characteristic of an article submitted for publi-cation here is not that it is an exercise in self-expression; it is an instrument of communication. As such, it should be viewed as a means of bringing together, in a partnership of understanding, the minds of writer and reader.
The writer is the initiator of a series of communicative statements, each of which carries a message, and the envisaged reader is the potential recipient of that message. It is part of the writer's task to make the transmitted message as clear as possible.
A lecture, a seminar, a symposium or other discussion group may also operate as an instrument of communication, but there is a very significant difference between these oral presentations and

The Raveonettes @ Triple Rock Social Club
The Raveonettes @ First Avenue Mainroom
September 26th, 2012
The Triple Rock was absolutely packed. It took a solid 5 minutes of effort to get from the merch table to the side of the stage. As the lights dimmed before the band came out, the crowd started passing out earplugs. The twin Fender Reverb amps were emblazoned with "RAVE ON" next to the matching guitars.
Aside from constant strobe of the lights, the concert was by no means a rave. However, Danish Indy-rockers, The Raveonettes, did deliver a great show stacked with tracks off of their latest album, Observator. They started the night off with a ear pummeling performance of "Sinking with the Sun" and "Hallucinations". As the show progressed they dropped the strobe lights and opted for an acoustic guitar for some of their softer tracks. Their live rendition of "The Enemy" was even more intimate and powerful fading out to thunderous applause and cheers from the crowd.
Melody Echo Chamber opened with a delicate mix of spacious hip-hop beats and slow crooning vocals.

Animal Kingdom @ Triple Rock Social Club
Animal Kingdom @ Triple Rock Social Club
August 4th, 2012
It was a quiet night in Cedar-Riverside on Saturday. Most of the action was happening in Downtown or on the U of M West Bank Campus for Fringe Festival. But inside the Triple Rock was a modest band of three British gentlemen just thrilled to be touring in America for their first time. Animal Kingdom headlined for pop folksy six-piece, Royal Teeth. Both bands having played Lollapalooza the day before, you wouldn't expect them to be so glad to play the Triple Rock in Minneapolis, Minnesota for about a hundred people. But if they felt any disappointment, no one knew. Royal Teeth began by getting the crowd in the mood for dancing, and Animal Kingdom took it over the top. The floor flooded with feet for the headliner as they took the stage. Beginning with a couple of songs from their first release, Signs and Wonders, the band warmed up to the Minnesota-nice vibe of an exceptionally encouraging audience. And the encouragement showed through in the unabashedly wide smile of lead singer, Rich Sauberlich, after every song ended in an eruption of applause. Continuing into songs from their most recent release, The Looking Away, the energy in the room did nothing but climb. When they introduced "Get Away With It", which has gotten air play in the Twin Cities, the crowd was more than ready to dance to such a familiar tune. Finally, as Animal Kingdom ended their set with the highly anticipated single "Strange Attractor" off the new album, there wasn't a still foot on the floor. Finishing with a flourish, the guys each took turns hopping off the stage, and eagerly heading straight back to the merchandise table to greet fans. So in quiet Cedar-Riverside on Saturday night, there was really nothing but greatness. Great music, great guys, and great experiences. Undoubtedly worth checking out next time they come back from across the pond!

King Tuff @ Triple Rock Social Club
King Tuff with Jaill @ Triple Rock Social Club
July 17th, 2012
In the familiar venue of the Triple Rock, a moderate crowd mingles for an early show. Milwaukee natives, Jaill, brought the energy up with tracks from their latest release "Traps". A notable few die-hard Jaill fans were right next to me providing most of the crowds' headbanging on 'Waste A Lot Of Things' and 'Everyone's a Bitch'. The later song dedicated to all the women in the crowd, and with a slight chuckle the tunes kept sweeping by.
In between sets the audience shuffles around quite a bit gaining much strength for the much anticipated upcoming performance. A crew of guys get on stage and take position in front of a large tapestry with "King Tuff" painted on in their artsy font, as seen on their self titled album cover. These guys have the appearance of Wavves with their "give no you-know-whats" attitude but with a lurking shadiness. Not long into their first song something of a meek mosh pit has started amongst a handful of guys, however as tracks like "Anthem", "Keep On Moving", and "Bad Thing" play a larger portion of the floor becomes washed with a jumping mass of energy. These ram-shackled garage rockers swept the audience with their rad jams and it was an energy that could not be matched for a Tuesday evening show that clocked in by 10pm.

The Duke Spirit @ Triple Rock Social Club
The Duke Spirit @ Triple Rock Social Club
June 10th, 2012
"Come closer Minneapolis, we didn't drive 27 hours for you to stay away," beckoned Liela Moss, lead singer of The Duke Spirit as she stormed on stage at the Triple Rock Social Club on June 10th. Instantly, the audience obeyed and swarmed to the edge of the stage to the guitar rattling "Procession."
Hacienda was originally slated to open but unfortunately cancelled earlier that day. Three hours prior to the show opening, local Minneapolis band, The Color Pharmacy swooped in curing the absent opener slot. The Duke Spirit brought forth an eclectic mix of tracks from their three albums including the fiery "Glorious" and the tambourine infused "Neptune's Call."
Moss commanded the energy of the room moving the crowd with her microphone stand waving it about like a female Gandalf, but with much better fashion sense. Her spotted jumper was cleverly equipped with a cape that she frequently fanned out like a superhero that had jumped out from the framed panels of a comic book. "You Were Born Inside My Heart" mesmerized the audience to sway side to side along with Liela Moss and the hypnotic, thumping bass line. Relentless vigor with no pauses is what The Duke Spirit embodies making their performance a necessity to see.

More hard selling for the Euro, which just keeps pushing lower.
It's a little unclear what the freakout is directly related to.
The fate of Greece is still a little unclear, but the latest headlines suggest that there's not going to be an imminent default.
On the other hand, growth is collapsing in Greece.
Overall though, markets are looking red for the third day, with US futures at their low, and and European down across the board.

Soong started to play the violin in the same year. Most of the time he really disliked practice, but as it was preferable to schoolwork, he persevered. After attending the Purcell School he carried on studying at the Royal Academy of Music and Southampton University.
His first professional work was with the London Musici while studying and soon after he started doing extra work with the Philharmonia and joined the First Violin section in 2000. The year 2000 was especially eventful with two world tours back to back and meeting his future wife. They now have two children.
Soong's other great love is food and he counts himself lucky to be able to indulge in many wonderful eateries around the world when the Orchestra goes on tour. Soong is grateful for being able to appreciate at close proximity so many wonderful sounds by skillful musicians in the Philharmonia. His hobby is painting.

Garden of Lights
When: 5 to 9 p.m. each evening, through Dec. 31.
Where: The Gardens on Spring Creek, 2145 Centre Ave., Fort Collins.
Cost: $2 suggested donation per person.
Info: Call 416-2486 or visit fcgov.com/gardens.
Larger-than-life glimmering butterflies float lightly in the air. Glowing flowers grow in gardens of light. Throughout the rest of the year, The Gardens on Spring Creek in Fort Collins serve as a community botanic garden. But when winter comes, the gardens are transformed into a magical place — a Garden of Lights.
The Gardens are aglow for the holidays, down to the scarecrows that normally guard the crops. Where during the growing season, vegetables and flowers bloom, there are now beautiful, handcrafted representations of those same plants, created by volunteers from thousands of LED lights. "They are flowers that you would find in our gardens — daisies, lupines, sunflowers," said Michelle Provaznik, Executive Director of the Gardens.
Volunteers and staff have created illuminated scenes that celebrate the magic of the botanical garden and the Christmas season. The light flowers and vegetables are created in classes held throughout the year. "Each is a little different and unique," noted Provaznik.
The displays also include brightly decorated buildings and trees and even a made-from-lights koi fish named Kobe, who swims in his own LED pool.
This is the Garden of Lights' fifth year. "We started very small and have been continually adding to it each year," said Provaznik. "People have really turned it into a holiday tradition. You don't have to go to Denver for this. It's uniquely Fort Collins."
"People kept saying, 'keep it open after Christmas,'" shared Provaznik. And so they have. The Garden of Lights will be open from 5 to 9 p.m. until Dec. 31. Warm cider will be available through Dec. 23. The Gardens' gift shop is open Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Some plants will be available for sale through Dec. 23.
On Friday, Dec. 21, the Garden of Lights will host the Stretto String Quartet, which will present classical arrangements of holiday favorites in the Gardens' on-site classroom. Saturday, Dec. 22, will be the last opportunity for guests to visit with the Sugar Plum Furries (canine fairies performing tricks).
Guests are reminded that this is an outdoor event and are encouraged to bundle up and enjoy strolling among the beautiful light presentations.
