Molting our pasts into the air...
The Return of 90 Words
It comes but once a... ever.
Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's, the end of the Fiscal Quarter.
The 540 word circle is now unbroken.
An emptying out of the
, perceived as tranquility
All roads lead to South Dakota. Or at least the I-90 does, anyway.
He laid down his whittling knife and he and his brother took up arms in rage.
Drinking manhattans made with a good bourbon, and strong.
Living white and pudgy, I never expected much for myself. Now, I could tell that was true.
A few gestural lines towards the thought of death.
Rest in peace.
I know I will.
And then we played baseball and then we played army and then we were best friends.
We torn holes in sheets and became ghosts for each other's pleasures.
I looked at the pictures of you, twenty years old, sometimes skinny and sometimes your face a soft moon.
Fingers clutching little trinkets of the day...
All roads lead to South Dakota. Or at least the I-90 does, anyway.
Everywhere signs of an interstice arriving.
What you see and what you believe are two different things.
It was as if a million literary ghosts poured from its pages, moaning to be set free.
So what if too many times we have been here, both
lost in our machinations...
Week 26 brings with it our Second Quarterly Review! This quarter has seen some technical changes to the site that we are excited about as well as three more months of making intellectual rigor fun again with fresh-daily content. As is our custom, we're celebrating with an all week review of our favorite pieces from the past 13 weeks.

Parte Nopeo
David Myers
I went to Naples
because all the Italians told me it's where people go crazy
went thinking a real epic journey was ahead
British Admirals, well respected around the world for their tight upper lips
go to Naples my son
in the shadow of Vesuvius
grabbing at its parts
fat women cooking flesh
their hands scratching their pubic hair when a cat crosses the path
the finest Italian leather, cuffs on pants
a shirt pulled tight onto a young brown skin -- they put on lotion to make the sun burn them more -- that's backwards -- to burn them more -- not protecting -- it makes them more tan.
of course, shit, I thought, Naples, open, asking, of course, it eats the sun right up like this and the wind boo hoo ing all the time
British Admirals come to Naples
see churches with armed guards and bullet holes
all the dogs have balls
Padre, a cat crosses my path I grab between my legs
piazzas are enormous echo chambers late at night
a stone city, everyone sitting on stony ground carved out of a volcano, getting stoned
bones, dogs barking teeth
I sat down, there was a woman -- I don't think she came from Naples
selling books on the side of the street, it said
Lo Stato Sono Io
and the President on the cover was grinning.
The Greeks came over here, thinking
they must have been thinking
it was magical. They founded Cuma, they settled on Ischia
There is a lake nearby that is so sulfuric that when birds fly over it they die
can that really be true?
that can't be true -- oh we all thought that at some point, grin, that can't be true
no it's in the book, look at the next photo
a bird tumbling down, dying
The Greeks thought that the lake was an entrance to the underworld. Then the Romans
came and killed them. then Normans, Spaniards, Bourbons, Germans, Americans, now the Italians have managed to take it over... wait, what do you mean the Italians?
was Napoleon ever here?
hell, anybody who's really worth anything has conquered the region... hey, how many Napulitanos does it take to defend Naples? No one knows, it's never happened, everyone just stomps their way through there
I'm such a stupid American kid
I thought
I'm too young for this shit
, you wanna go modern, the Germans marched right up and down these streets, no -- we didn't need to be liberated from Mussolini, we believed in Mussolini -- and fuck me, who's my President? grinning on top of book covers around the world.
NATO's got a base right around the corner. American Admirals come here and go crazy, surprised that there's no place to hear good American jazz. The place has got the soul for it. Maybe we just can't find it.
Turn on the t.v. There's one American t.v. network that you can get. Guess which? FOX. hello, Bill O'Reilly. hello,
So, I came here for all of this. Of course I'm going to go a little bit crazy right? I mean, I came over with the hopes of being jostled about, getting my ideology shook up a bit. You gotta travel man, you gotta travel. See something new.
The girls
okay, fantasy number one...
this part is actually true, it's all true
okay, so I'm a waiter at a restaurant on a little tiny island right off the coast of Naples, it connects to the city with a short bridge. When I walk home late at night from work, I walk on that bridge and sometimes, I'm tired and I see the moon and I joke to myself that I'm a wolf. I'm at the edge of the world and I feel like howling.
The restaurant is open from 6:00 or 7:00pm 'til about 3:00 in the morning. None of the Napulitanos show up till around 11:00, and then it's packed. It's surrounded by the water and the crashing waves up against the castle that sits always in the distance. The last Emperor of the Roman Empire, Romulus Augustus was locked up in that castle, but I don't know who he is or really care that much.
okay, so at around 2:00am the Motorcycle Napulitanos start riding through. The little island has a loop that the Motorcycle Napulitanos ride on, circling around the island, motorcycling with helmuts of hair and slick European sunglasses. Women grab on. You can circle them, tightening up, till they smell you, ears dart up and they start reaching out.
I'm just a lonely American with nowhere to go
throw in a Mingus bass line
I'm just a lonely American with nowhere to go. I came here because it's the capital of the world of beautiful women... I see that you're the Emperor. Lo stato sei tu.
It's almost sexual watching the Neapolitan Women get on and off of these motorcycles all night long. I think, "I'm a lonely American with no hopes, no aspirations, my jaw hanging to the floor." One of the Napulitanos grabs my ass, I turn around, he slaps me in the face and runs off laughing. A whole group laughs. I laugh. I don't know what else to do. I laugh some more, thinking about that American kid that laughs when you slap him. What a fool.
This is about the time that you enter my fantasy, my Napulitana, with short blond curls. I'm not sure how you got your hair to do that, but I know it's not natural. You walked right past me, got off one of the motorcycles, but I didn't see which one, you walked right past me, tight jeans, wide hips, a black shirt with its hands full. You were wearing those Italian leather boots that in any other country I would find overstated and foolish, but somehow, I came here to go crazy and they are just perfect.
But, it's the back that will make me remember you years from now. After you pass me, I see your back, completely uncovered and flexing, arched, a deep tan. It's the only part of you that I can see, your back, sweating just enough that it shines. My hands reach out through my eyes and think of all the things I could learn touching that back, that back, thick and strong, muscles and fat.
I couldn't hurt you if I tried.
I think of the shapes that our backs could make together. I get creative.
I think about you breaking my heart, and wonder if you already have. Muscles and fat, muscles and fat and that thin layer of sweat, so that it shines. You walk over to one of the Motorcycle Napulitanos. Italian eyes creep out from behind his sunglasses. (It
nighttime, you Italian prick. You
driving a motorcycle. I think that you
take the sunglasses off and stop looking cooler than me. At least for a second.) The eyes look at me and he puts his hand on the back, pushing hard enough that the flesh changes. In my head, he says, "First time in Naples, huh? You have no idea, kid. Go back to Iowa, or Texas, or wherever the hell you're from."
And then it's over. You go off with him and I think that's fine, that's fine... at least I saw something. That's a good reason to try and live somewhere else. At least I saw something that I can remember. I know something more, I must, the world must be a bigger place after something like this.
When I walked home across the tiny bridge that night I thought about how every time I think I know something it's just ignorance to my lack of knowing.

Kids love to play games! I've noticed the easier the game, usually the more willing they are to play it. That being said, some learning needs to happen. Many of my 5th and 6th graders have trouble with metric and customary measurements and conversions. I decided we needed to make the basic, rather boring conversions more fun…. enter: Measurement Wars!
Measurement Wars is played by first dealing out the whole deck of cards evenly amongst the players. Everyone flips over a card at the same time and compares their measurements. The person with the highest valued measurement wins all the cards in that round. Should 2 people have the same highest measurement value, then they would set 3 cards face down and then flip the fourth and the one with the highest value would take all the cards. This is repeated until one person has all the cards from the deck and is declared the winner (or until the allotted amount of time is out)
Great for partners, small group, and math centers! The more the students play and use the reference sheet, the more they start committing the measurements and the ballpark comparisons to memory. They're learning while having fun!
|Sample of the Reference sheet – works GREAT with MW.

text: Custom Notifications: Individualized Communication in the Group Violence Intervention provides practical information about "custom notifications," an independent element of GVI that enables quick, tactical, direct communication to particular group members. Custom notifications articulate that group members are valued members of the community, give individualized information about their legal risk, and offer opportunities for help. They effectively interrupt group "beefs," avoid retaliation after incidents, calm outbreaks of violence, and reinforce the GVI message.

The hardest thing in getting my workout done in a day is finding the energy to keep going till bedtime. I wake up at 5 am, and I am a website owner, homeschool my 2 children, act on a parent partnership PTO board as events planner and volunteer coordinator, and still have my everyday wife, and home duties. Where do i find the time or energy to get it all done? Well its not easy! The first thing I do in the mornings is workout or go on a run. I find that gets me awake and moving. I am not a caffiene of coffee drinker so I can skip all that as well. After my run I eat my breakfast. Work on my website. Then I get ready for the day to start by 8am. I have made breakfast and fed my children, or dropped them off at workshop/school classes. I teach my son his school work,eat lunch. Finish anything we have missed, then pick my daughter up and run her to sports/soccer right now everyday, she plays on 2 teams. My son is in a band and plays sports as well. Make dinner ( sometimes hubby makes dinner),then on my off morning runs, to join my running group. When I come home I do any dinner dishes cleaning and go to bed. We all have similar or very hectic lifestyles we chose with our families. At the end of the day I am wondering, how do we do it everyday. The weekends are not any better, or easier, at least not in my house. Sat brings more sports and games to get to. Trying to keep healthy and work food is not easy. On Sundays we have church and any chores that need catching up. Usually laundry I am good at keeping our Sundays light. This is just my story. We all have busy lives. Here are some food tips to help keep your body fueled up throughout the day:
- Oatmeal is a great quick breakfast (homemade not instant)optional add ins…almonds, raisins,cinnamon,sliced strawberries,granola etc… eat it how you like it. I love oatmeal for breakfast because it fuels me up, and keeps me full till lunch time.
- Apples…apples are great your body burns them quickly. and they give you at least an hours worth of good workout energy. Perfect Snack and taste great with peanut butter and nuts.
- Whole grain or wheat bread, I love the pocket bread for tuna or chicken sandwhiches remember to use little and light mayo if you need it. add some pickles,redonion,celery,baby spinach.
- baby spinach salad with red onions (I like red onions) cherry tomato's, balsamic vinegerette dressing or I like no dressing.
- Supplement- yep I said it. Sometimes we need a quick on the go supplement. I use Advocare products. They are safe, and they will help with energy levels. Are they required? No, but I have found that they helped me a lot. Plus this company has non caffiene products as well as caffiene products. I use their protein shakes between meals, and meal replacement shakes for meals. I use many products, but I always recommend you talk to your physician, and research any product you take.
- Great on the go supplements can be protien bars, energy drink, not the store kind compare labels here.
Foods to stay away from that drain your energy
- High sugary foods
- Store Energy drinks they cause you to crash,I dont have time to jitter and crash.
- Chips
- Fast food all high in calories and have no energy value.
Knowing how your body works and fueling up with the right foods can make a big difference in your energy levels throughout the day. I hope this information is helpful and to research more on these supplements go to Advocare Supplements site .

When you want to receive the highest degree of tree service for the most competitive price, you will enjoy what USA Tree Service Pros offers in West Kendall, Florida. Although any arborist with our company is primarily trained in doing their job, you will be impressed by how friendly and respectful they are. Although we love satisfying customers and listening to their kind comments, we have to give a lot of credit to the industrialized gear we use. You may also rely on us to arrive promptly since we do not want to keep you waiting around. If you need any type of tree service in the West Kendall area whether it be tree trimming or tree removal, give USA Tree Service Pros a call at 888-202-2007.
While some residents in West Kendall, FL could possibly complete their own tree trimming work, this is not the case with everyone. Having said that, there is a lot of science involved in the techniques used to complete tree trimming to make certain that your tree looks as healthy as possible. As the tree continues to grow older and naturally increase in height, power tools will also likely be required. The chance of injury also quickly comes into play whenever you are dealing with taller trees. After you start to see these safety threats and the cost of investing in the equipment to start with, it is easy to understand why so many people turn to USA Tree Service Pros for their tree removal and more. The thing you really have to determine is whether or not it is worth getting injured instead of spending the smallest amount of money with a tree removal company.
Whenever we are doing tree trimming in West Kendall, FL, our team heavily relies upon the use of both hand and electric pruners as well as shears. By using these tools, we can ensure the tree will maintain its beautiful appearance. Many people are led to think that a chainsaw is all that we use to perform a tree removal, but this could not be further from the case. Although a chainsaw is used to cut the tree down, the roots that are buried deep underground do not mysteriously come loose once the tree hits the ground. When left below the ground, the roots can certainly prevent another tree from growing inside a several-yard area. You will notice that we also utilize bucket trucks, ladders and chippers during our tree service work.
If you want to make certain that your tree looks as professionally groomed as possible, our tree care is a fantastic resource in West Kendall. FL. We offer the most competitive rates, and we will ensure that the job gets done in the quickest, yet safest possible manner. Give our personnel at USA Tree Service Pros a call today at 888-202-2007, and we will go over your tree service or removal needs.
Do I Have to Employ a Tree Service Firm?
You can do your own tree service work to a degree, but you are placing yourself in danger when utilizing power tools while standing on a ladder. Hiring USA Tree Service Pros to manage your tree service procedures would be a better choice.
Absolutely, we are priced extremely competitively in the West Kendall, Florida tree service industry. Call 888-202-2007 to speak with one of our tree service professionals and receive a personalized quote.
Every tree service procedure begins when you contact us and go over your individual tree service needs in West Kendall, FL. We will then set up a time for the tree service that works nicely for you, and we will always show up by the planned time.
When we speak about tree trimming, we are working with trimming up branches to make the tree look as shaped as possible. The tree's growth pattern will be established during our tree pruning procedures. Tree pruning should begin right after the tree has started to grow.
Sooner or later, trees in West Kendall will either decease or suffer some pretty significant damage during a storm, which means they need to be removed. During our tree removal procedure, we can also remove the stump and pull the roots out of the ground, which are two procedures most people forget about.
Anybody who is properly trained and experienced in using tree service equipment is an arborist. They are like a walking encyclopedia of every type of tree that has ever existed, and they definitely know how to care for all types of trees. For additional information, examine a lot of our locations: West Alexandria, OH tree trimming.
USA Tree Service Pros will make use of either ladders or bucket trucks at practically every jobsite. More specifically, we will shape the tree using pruners and shears when doing tree trimming. Throughout the tree removal process, we are going to use chainsaws along with other power tools to allow us to cut the tree down as safely as possible. To get the tree stump out of the ground, we will use stump grinders when finishing a stump grinding job. We also use chippers nearly every time we need to haul a tree away.
Yes, our company is licensed in tree trimming, removal and stump grinding in West Kendall as well as many other cities and states.

BEIJING — Secretary of State John Kerry and his Chinese counterpart laid out diverging positions regarding the South China Sea on Tuesday, indicating that annual talks between the United States and China had done little to bridge the differences over what has become one of the most volatile issues in their relationship.
In Beijing, a senior American official also revealed that President Obama had warned President Xi Jinping of China during a meeting in March about the maritime friction and about Washington's obligations to a regional ally, the Philippines.
On Tuesday, at the end of what is called the Strategic and Economic Dialogue, Mr. Kerry praised the talks as an "essential mechanism" to air differences and nurture cooperation.
But comments both by Mr. Kerry and by State Councilor Yang Jiechi of China suggested that their governments remained far apart on the continuing disputes in the South China Sea. China has laid claim to many islands and outcrops across the sea that are also claimed by Southeast Asian countries, notably the Philippines and Vietnam.
"I reiterated America's fundamental support for negotiations, and a peaceful resolution based on the rule of law, as well as, obviously, our concern about any unilateral steps by anyone, whichever country, to alter the status quo," Mr. Kerry said during a joint appearance with Chinese officials in the Great Hall of the People in the heart of Beijing.
After Mr. Kerry spoke, Mr. Yang, who steers Chinese foreign policy and is senior to the foreign minister, said China remained adamantly opposed to an arbitration case brought by the Philippines to assert its claims in the sea.
A court in The Hague is expected to deliver its decision in the case soon, but Beijing has said it will not accept the result.
"This has not changed and will not change," Mr. Yang said of China's opposition to the case. He repeated China's position that it is willing to negotiate over the disputes, but only with each individual country holding a rival claim, rather than collectively.
"The islands of the South China Sea have been Chinese territory since antiquity," Mr. Yang said. "China has every right to uphold its territorial rights and legitimate maritime rights and interests."
The Obama administration has urged China to negotiate with Southeast Asian nations collectively to solve the disputes, and it has warned Beijing against its energetic development of reefs and outcrops into artificial islands with military facilities.
What China Has Been Building in the South China Sea
China has been feverishly piling sand onto reefs in the South China Sea, creating seven new islets in the region and straining already taut geopolitical tensions.
The United States recently sent military ships and planes near some of those islands, to make the point that it would insist on freedom of navigation in the area, and Beijing bristled at the gesture.
This Strategic and Economic Dialogue was the last for the Obama administration, and there is uncertainty about how much importance the next president might give to the annual talks. But Chinese and American officials said there was value in discussing contentious issues face to face, even if no solution was in sight.
The South China Sea issue came up early in the meetings, when the United States warned China against any action in the waterway involving American treaty obligations to the Philippines, a senior State Department official said.
The warning was a reiteration of what Mr. Obama told Mr. Xi during their meeting in Washington in March, the official said.
The official spoke on the condition of anonymity in keeping with diplomatic custom. On Sunday, before the formal start of the talks, Chinese and American officials, including some uniformed military officers from both sides, talked about security matters. Zhang Yesui, China's executive vice foreign minister, and Antony J. Blinken, the deputy secretary of state, led the delegations.
The Philippines has long claimed Scarborough Shoal, an outcrop off its western coast that was once used as a firing range by the United States military. In 2012, China took over the shoal by expelling Philippine fishermen and deploying a patrol of coast guard vessels to prevent the fishermen's returning.
Scarborough Shoal is the largest outcrop in the dispute between the Philippines and China in the South China Sea. The United States, which now has access to five military bases in the Philippines, recently flew a Navy plane over the shoal in a demonstration to China of American concerns. The United States and the Philippines also recently conducted joint patrols in the waterway.
Since China began building artificial islands in the Spratly archipelago near the Scarborough Shoal, former military officials have hinted that Beijing would start to build the shoal into a more permanent platform able to accommodate military installations.
The security session on Sunday also included discussion of an episode last month involving two Chinese fighter jets that flew dangerously close to an EP-3 American spy plane in international airspace off the coast of Hainan, the southernmost province of China, the senior State Department official said.
The Chinese aircraft came as close as 50 feet to the American plane, the Pentagon said at the time. The Foreign Ministry in Beijing denied that the Chinese had flown too close and described the encounter as normal.
It was unclear whether China's senior military leaders had ordered the two jets to get close to the American plane or whether the pilots were acting independently and trying to show off their flight skills.
Also discussed at the meeting were human rights and the status of foreign nongovernmental organizations in China. The Obama administration has sharply criticized a new Chinese law aimed at controlling and limiting the work of such groups on issues including rights for migrant workers, climate change and the rule of law. The American Chamber of Commerce in China has expressed disappointment with the law, saying that it would harm the companies it works with.
The law, scheduled to go into effect Jan. 1, requires foreign groups to register with the police, who will be empowered to examine all aspects of their operations. It also mandates that the groups find official Chinese partners.
Earlier in the day, Mr. Yang, the state councilor, said the organizations' activities would not be obstructed if the groups observed China's laws.
At a news conference at his hotel after meeting with Mr. Xi, Mr. Kerry said that he was reassured by the Chinese president's explanations of the law.
The United States "forcefully" presented its objections to the law, he said, adding, "We have to show some patience."
"What I heard directly from President Xi, actually, was that China intends to remain open, stay open, to open up even more than it is today," Mr. Kerry said, "and that it does not see these laws are going to be applied in any way whatsoever that affects their ability to open up and to do business."
He said he found it "not insignificant that the president of the country" spoke directly about the problem. "Now the question is, is that in fact what happens?"

Awarded to 3 year old pigeon
NURP.41.SBS.219 The Duke of Normandy, 21
The citation states:
"For being the first bird to arrive with a message from
Paratroops of the 21
The Duke was dropped behind enemy lines in June with a group of paratroopers tasked with silencing the powerful Merville Battery, which overlooked Sword Beach. As radio silence was crucial the Duke was carried to take back the message that the battery had been taken. Of over 600 men, who were dropped, only 150 managed to reach the target and after fierce fighting the objective was overcome with heavy loss. The Duke was duly released and after 26 hours and 50 minutes flying landed back at his loft with the news of a successful operation. He was awarded the medal in 1947 during a televised ceremony at the BBC Alexandra Palace.
The Dickin medal has been awarded 64 times; 32 of which were for pigeons.

An Interview with Kathy Kosins on KIOS
Andrea Swick from WGLT
"She thinks like a musician" is one of the finest compliments you can give a jazz vocalist, and Detroit native Kathy Kosins is often at the tail end of that comment. In the 80's Kosins worked with legendary producer Don Was, among others, and later toured with Was/Not Was. Though jazz was always a part of her musical tastes, it was in the early 90's when she fell hard for jazz, and hasn't looked back. Her latest CD release on Resonance Records is titled "To The Lades Of Cool", and you can purchase this great disc at: http://bit.ly/HsoYgV.

Management of Phosphorus and Sediment Loads to Cayuga Lake
MetadataShow full item record
Guerrero, Christopher
A 2009 report by Haith et al. described the application of the GWLF watershed model to provide a baseline estimate of nutrient and sediment loads entering Cayuga Lake. The report estimated nitrogen loads to have fallen by about 10-15% and phosphorus loads to have remained essentially unchanged. Although the current water quality of Cayuga Lake is commonly categorized as good, previous studies have suggested that sediment and phosphorus inputs may lead to problems in the future (Genesee/Finger Lakes Regional Planning Council, 2000). The objective of this design project is to develop a management plan for reducing mean phosphorus and sediment loads to Cayuga Lake by at least 20% each. This plan will be balanced, in the sense that it will recommend methods to reduce phosphorus and sediment loads from agricultural and urban runoff, point sources, and septic tank loads. I have focused on ways to reduce phosphorus loads, assuming that a 20% reduction in phosphorus loads should result in at least a 20% reduction in sediment loads. After presenting my recommendations, I will show their modeled effectiveness and provide costs estimates associated with each practice.

Congratulations Cheri!
The party was at a local cafe called "The Farmers Daughter" It's an adorable little restauraunt and I took some pictures of their fun country decorations.
What about this idea? Use an old sewing machine desk as a changing table!
How adorable!
Pick up some old horseshoes as a door hanger for aprons/towels etc...
Check out the lovely pictures that decorated the country brick walls.
And of course my personal favorite: the lovely cow picture:)

NOTICE: I have decided to change this feature into a bi-weekly series. There is a lot of work and preparation that goes into these posts. I cannot possibly get it all done in one week! Thank you for your understanding!
The series continues with the idols of the "91-line"!
Idols that are part of this age group are or will be turning 26 years old (international age). This week's idols are featured in the picture below:
Yet again, there are a lot of Korean idols within this age group. A few of my biases, such as CL (ex-2NE1), Solar (Mamamoo) and Key (SHINee) are within this group. That also includes my ULTIMATE K-POP BIAS, CNU from B1A4.
I was in shock while I was compiling this list. There were a number of idols within this group that I thought was much younger. Some of these idols include Red Velvet's Irene, A Pink's Chorong, NGT48's Kitahara Rie, and Infinite's Woohyun.
In the case of Irene, Chorong and Rie, they are in groups where many of the members are younger than them, so I automatically assumed that they were the same age as their fellow group members. It was a classic Tsugunaga Momoko and Country Girls situation.
Another idol that looks much younger than his age is Hey! Say! Jump's Arioka Daiki. However, he did not fool me. Hey! Say! Jump has been around for a while, so they are a bit older than some of the Japanese idol groups that are currently active. They just have a lot of members with youthful looks and voices (see my '90s line post).
On the opposing end, there were a few idols that looked much older than 26 years old. These idols include EXILE's Mandy, Sekai, former Wa$$Up member Nada and 9MUSES' Hyemi.
These groups (EXILE, Wa$$up and 9MUSES) mostly had mature members and concepts. Other groups and artistes like Sistar, Anda, CL, Dal Shabet, After School and EXID also pursued similar concepts.
I would have classed EXO within the more mature concept group, however, I immediately changed my mind after experiencing a cringe-fest while watching their music video for "Power". This is a bit off topic, but I really cannot bring myself to like that song or music video.
As I said in my 90's line post, I often associate Hey! Say! Jump with their youthful image from years ago. I have not been keeping up with them, so I do not know much about their newer music. Also, some of my favourite songs from them are their more upbeat and endearing songs.
Despite being from the same company, Kis-my-ft2 is similar to Hey! Say! Jump. In my opinion, there is often a crossover in musical style and concept between both groups.
A Pink and B1A4 are also known for their bubbly and fun music. They have strayed from this concept a few times but the majority of their songs are vivacious and cute. This is really interesting since all the members of both groups are over the age of 20 years old. As the members get older, you would think they would pursue other concepts much like Hello Venus, Girls Generation and Dal Shabet did, however, they have stayed true to their form.
To be honest, I cannot see these two groups doing anything else. They are successful in their current state so I would not want them to change a thing. Though, the BANA in me is hoping more people support and stan B1A4. How can you resist them?
I was unsure whether to class NGT48 and SKE48 under a mature concept or not. I am not familiar with their music and the few songs I know are all different from each other in style and concept. I would probably say that these groups try out a mixture of concepts, which is a typical thing to do in the 48-family.
Other groups that have shown their versatility with a multitude of concepts and musical skills include AOA, WINNER, Mamamoo, Infinite, BTOB, MBLAQ, Red Velvet, Miss A, Girls Generation, U-KISS and SHINee.
What I also realized with this age group is that many of the groups have either faced member changes or have disbanded. The list of these group changes is pretty long and is mostly on the KPOP side. Groups like AOA, Infinite, A Pink, Girls Generation, CN BLUE, FT ISLAND and WINNER have all suffered from member losses.
U-KISS, MBLAQ, B2ST (now known as Highlight), EXO, Bestie, Dal Shabet and Wa$$up have all experienced big shake-ups in their member line ups.
Other groups like Kara, 2NE1 and Sistar have completed disbanded.
Groups like After School, EXILE, 9MUSES NGT48 and SKE48 are used to these member changes due to their graduation system.
Some of the idols within this age-line group, like Hoya (Infinite), Nada (Wa$$up), Jiyul (Dal Shabet), Nicole and Goo Hara (Kara) and Kevin (U-KISS), have left their respective groups for various reasons. NGT48's Kitahara Rie will be graduating from her group in Spring 2018.
The point I am trying to make is, while many of these group changes are attributable to management and contract issues, a lot of it is also due to these idols wanting something new in their life. They are closing one chapter to open another. Now, I am not 26 years old as yet but I feel like the desire to grow and reach new goals is not an unusual occurrence at that age.
While the previous age line had a good mix of vocalists, dancers and instrumentalists, my list for the '91-line consisted mostly of vocalists.
There were not many skilled dancers or rappers and there were one or two people that had acting skills that really impressed me.
However, I am not saying that this is not a talented group of people. They are definitely skilled in their fields. As many people say, skill comes with practice, age and experience, and all these idols have those qualities!
Next time, the '92 line will be featured!

Overland counts on disk as tape sales plummet
Overland Storage continues to lose money on its tape business and is counting on SAN, VTL and its newly acquired Snap Server NAS platform to save it.
Overland Storage Inc. reported an increase in revenue from disk products, despite another quarter of losing money. CEO Vern LoForti is looking to double disk sales with the acquisition of the Snap Server NAS platform.
Overland's revenue of $28.9 million last quarter was down 15.2% from last year and 9% from the previous quarter. Revenue from REO and Ultamus disk products increased 32.6% from last year and 63.4% from the previous quarter, which means the company's primary storage tape business fell more than the overall company figures.
For the fiscal year, Overland's revenue of $127.7 million was down from $160.4 million last year. Overland lost $8.6 million last quarter and $24.6 million for the year.
"While we're disappointed we could not report a sequential increase in revenue, the good news is the significant increase in sales of our disk-based products," LoForti said, on Overland's earnings conference call Thursday night.
Overland is clearly looking for the REO virtual tape library (VTL), Ultamus SAS-based SAN RAID array and the Snap low-end NAS platform to save the company; LoForti barely mentioned Overland's tape products on the call.
Overland did not break out revenue from tape and disk products, but LoForti said the Snap business acquired from Adaptec for $3.6 million in June was on pace for $18 million in annual revenue, and he expected that to at least double Overland's disk revenue. That means disk is still well below 20% of Overland's revenue.
LoForti also hopes to generate more revenue from Snap than Adaptec did. "Snap did not occupy a strategic fit within Adaptec," he said. "As a consequence, the Snap business suffered from continually declining resources and lack of promotion." LoForti expects Snap to bring Overland into lucrative new markets, such as video surveillance.
While increasing sales is the first priority with Snap, it's not clear when product updates will come. Overland is running out of money, with $9.7 million in cash and equivalents remaining, and LoForti revealed the company will secure financing to fund development and marketing of Snap. "We're in discussions with a lender, and we're pretty far along," he said. "We hoped to be able to announce something on this call but didn't get it done in time."

I realised I really need to work on creating a better mix of vegetables and decorative plants but both with a useful slant. The handouts were brilliant and I am still refering to them every time I am in my garden, I also enjoyed the practical gardening bits, how you should try to garden with the least impact and how you can create areas for growing with little financial outlay. In fact I came home and went straight into my garden and layered up my vege beds with compost, wet paper and hay ready to plant up with the aid of my new best friend - the Niwashi!

Horizon, ADA to start flight-training
Abu Dhabi, November 15, 2011
Mubadala Aerospace, through its subsidiary HorizonFlight Academy (Horizon), along with Abu Dhabi Aviation (ADA) will establish an advanced flight training facility dedicated to serve global commercial and defense customers.
Mubadala made the announcement at the Dubai Airshow, saying that it had signed a contract with CAE for the purchase of a CAE 3000 Series full-flight simulator (FFS) representing the AgustaWestland AW139 helicopter to be owned and operated by JV. The joint venture is subject to any required antitrust and other regulatory approvals.
"Mubadala Aerospace is at the forefront of creating a local and international aerospace industry in the UAE and surrounding regions built on mutually beneficial partnerships," said Homaid Al Shemmari, executive director, Mubadala Aerospace. "Thisjoint venture between Mubadala and ADA will bring together over 40 years of combined aircraft operating and training expertise and will capitalise on the significant projected global aircraft fleet growth in the coming years in both the commercial and defense markets."
"This will require well-trained, highly-skilled pilots and through ADA and Horizon we aim to set the benchmark for pilot training in the Middle East. The AW139 simulator from CAE will play a key role in delivering the highest-quality helicopter training," he added.
Nader Ahmed Mohammed Al Hammadi, chairman of ADA, said: "ADA is the largest commercial helicopter operator in the Middle East and we are delighted to be partnering with Mubadala Aerospace to develop additional training capabilities for the region. Both ADA and Mubadala have a long-term commitment to the aerospace industry, and this JV and the purchase of this simulator will ensure that our dedication to the highest standards of safety, quality and efficiency will continue."
Captain Michael Burke, director of training for ADA, said: "To ensure the highest level of training, state-of-the-art technology and facilities are essential and the JV's investment in the 3000 Series is evidence to our focus on providing unparalleled training efficacy for our AW139 aircrews."
Bruno Spagnolini, CEO of AgustaWestland, said: "AgustaWestland is very pleased to support this new joint venture and looks forward to working closely with CAE in the development of the new AW139 simulator for Horizon. We are also looking forward to extending our working relationship with ADA, Mubadala and the JV as an AgustaWestland authorised training centre to support type conversion, recurrent and operational role training for our AW139 customers from the Middle East."
The CAE 3000 Series helicopter simulator features unprecedented realism for helicopter-specific mission training, including offshore oil and gas producer (OGP), law enforcement, corporate VIP and other operations.
The simulator enables pilots to practice challenging procedures without risk such as low-level flight, confined area operations, autorotation and landing on platforms at sea.
The AW139 FFS for Horizon and ADA will feature the CAE True six degree-of-freedom (DOF) electric motion system as well as high-performance vibration platform to replicate vibration cues critical to helicopter pilots and extensive input from AgustaWestland to ensure full compatibility with the aircraft configuration.
The simulator will also feature the high-fidelity CAE Tropos-6000 visual system and a direct projection 210 degree by 80 degree field-of-view dome display system. The CAE 3000 Series AW139 simulator will be delivered in 2013 to Horizon and ADA. – TradeArabia News Service
