The Bruins and Stars hooked up for a blockbuster summer trade, a seven-player deal, headlined by a third-year scoring forward who was the second overall pick in the 2010 Draft.
Numbers Game breaks down the deal sending Tyler Seguin and Rich Peverley to Dallas for a package of players including Loui Eriksson and three prospects.
Seguin, 21, was maligned for his 2013 playoff performance, when he scored one goal in 22 games, yet has 45 goals and 99 points over the last two seasons. His 36 even-strength goals over the last two years is tied for 14th.
Despite that production, at that age, the Bruins were definitely not satisfied with Seguin and once his name had appeared in trade rumours, Bruins GM Peter Chiarelli told the Boston Globe that he hoped it would serve as a wake-up call, that Seguin would, "Become more of a professional." Chiarelli continued, "And you know what? I can say that about a lot of 21-year-olds. I know he got criticized for playing on the periphery and all that stuff. He did. He's got to commit to being a professional and focusing on the game."
When Seguin is focused on the game, he's a dynamic offensive talent, with the speed and shot to be among the most dangerous offensive players in the league. Like many of the Bruins' top players, Seguin dominated in terms of puck possession over the last two seasons.
Moving to Dallas, Seguin figures to pair with Jamie Benn on the Stars' top line. Seguin has played right wing for the vast majority of his time in Boston, so an opportunity to play in the middle will be different. He played centre in junior, but hasn't yet had that responsibility in the NHL. Leading right wing candidates could be first-round pick Valeri Nichushkin, veterans Ray Whitney or Erik Cole or perhaps another addition to the Stars' roster this summer.
Seguin also figures to see a boost in ice time. He played just under 17 minutes per game over the past two seasons in Boston, but could easily see that push closer to 20 minutes per game with the Stars.
Seguin's six-year, $34-million contract extension kicks in this season, a $5.75-million cap hit per season. If he's a number one centre, scoring 70-plus points per season, that's a very reasonable return on investment. If he becomes better than a point-per-game guy, then that's a big win for Big D.
Peverley turns 31 next week and is coming off a poor season in which he, and Boston's third line in general, struggled. Since being picked up on waivers by Atlanta, from Nashville, in 2008-2009, Peverley has 191 points in 307 games (a pace of 51 points per 82 games), but managed just 18 points in 47 games last season thanks, in part, to a career-low shooting percentage of 6.3% (his 5v5 on-ice shooting percentage was an abysmal, and unlucky, 4.63%).
Where Peverley remains excellent, is in the faceoff circle, as he's won at least 55.0% of his draws in each of the last four seasons, including 58.4% last season, which ranked ninth among players with at least 200 face-offs in 2013.
With the Stars, Peverley will fit into a second-line centre role, where he will be expected to contribute more offensively. The opportunity will certainly be there for Peverley to bounce back.
Part of the incentive for Boston to move Peverley is that his contract still has two years, at a cap hit of $3.25-million per season, remaining. If he was producing, that would be one thing, but for a Bruins team without huge cap room, it made sense to include Peverley's contract in order to gain more financial flexibility heading into free agency.
Ryan Button is only 22, but has spent two pro seasons splitting time between the AHL and ECHL, so his inclusion in the deal is more about keeping room on the Bruins' reserve list than anything else. Perhaps Button gets some regular work in the AHL with Texas but, barring a sudden turnaround in his new locale, he's not going to be a factor when evaluating this trade.
Dallas took a swing for the fences, going after a young player who has already shown that he can score in the NHL. If Seguin pans out as a first line scoring centre -- and he should -- then it will be hard to argue that they didn't get what they wanted out of the deal.
The Bruins Get: LW/RW Loui Eriksson, RW Reilly Smith, D Joe Morrow and RW Matt Fraser.
Eriksson, who turns 28 in a couple weeks, has been a strong two-way player and regarded as underrated for so long that he's probably closer to properly rated now. He's able to play both wings, in all situations, and has logged just under 20 minutes per game for the Stars over the last five seasons, a time during which he's scored 130 goals, the same as Alex Burrows, two more than Patrick Kane and two fewer than Martin St. Louis.
With vacancies abound on right wing in Boston (in addition to Seguin and Peverley departing, Jaromir Jagr and Nathan Horton are free agents), Eriksson is likely to move into a spot alongside Patrice Bergeron and Brad Marchand, one of the league's most formidable two-way lines.
Eriksson's contract runs for three more seasons and while the salary is a little higher ($4.6-million this year, $4.5-million in the last two years), the cap hit is an economical $4.25-million. In addition to being a quality player, Eriksson provides value relative to the salary cap.
A 22-year-old winger who scored 58 goals in 77 games in his last two collegiate seasons at Miami, Reilly Smith had a solid start to his pro career, scoring 35 points in 45 AHL games, before adding nine points in 37 games, along with strong possession stats, at the NHL level.
Ideally, for the Bruins, Smith would be able to step in and fill a scoring role next season, but that could be asking too much from an unproven young player. Smith is still on an entry-level deal that will pay him $900,000 in the NHL.
Acquired from the Pittsburgh Penguins in the Brenden Morrow trade last season, 20-year-old Joe Morrow had a bit of a rocky first pro season. The 23rd overall pick in 2011, Morrow is an offensive defenceman who needs time to round out the rest of his game if he's going to make the jump. He offers upside as a puck-moving, point-producing defenceman, but isn't ready to provide immediate help to a Stanley Cup contender.
A winger with good size who scored 70 goals in 135 AHL games over the last two seasons, Matt Fraser has also chipped in three points in 13 games with Dallas over the past two years. Fraser's defensive game could use some work as well, but with continued improvement in that regard, he could give the Bruins another option up front.
Sending a $9-million salary cap hit to Dallas, while taking back $4.25-million (not counting Smith's two-way deal), gives the Bruins room to maneuver financially. According to www.capgeek.com, they have nearly $56.9-million committed to the 2013-2014 salary cap for 19 players (including more than $4-million for Marc Savard, who will go on long-term injured reserve), leaving enough room to sign restricted free agent goaltender Tuukka Rask and bid for a scoring winger. There have been rumours about the Bruins having interest in older guys, like Daniel Alfredsson, or re-signing Jagr, but this move could also free them up to join the fray bidding on David Clarkson.
How the Bruins spend their money will go a long way towards determining the value from this trade because, straight up, it's going to be very difficult for Eriksson and prospects to provide more value than Seguin will deliver to Dallas.
It's understandable that the Bruins took the stance that they did on a young player that they didn't think was taking his job as seriously as he should, particularly when they have a veteran group that they expect to contend for the Stanley Cup, but it's very risky.
It's surely been happening forever but, in recent years, allegations and Deadspin reports have swirled around the likes of Patrick Kane, Mike Richards and Jeff Carter, all of whom have been Cup winners, Kane with the Chicago Blackhawks, who didn't trade him after a highly-publicized weekend in Wisconsin last spring, and Carter and Richards with Los Angeles in 2012, after the Flyers reportedly had their own concerns.
Sometimes, a young player may need a trade to humble them and teach them just how high the stakes are in pro hockey, and if that happens for Seguin, the Bruins will come to regret the deal in the long run (if it happens quickly, then they could regret it even sooner). The decision they made, however, was apparently based on something that they weren't prepared to accept with their current group.

Can Altruism Disrupt?
Sometimes the proximity of things you write creates a new idea. Two recent ScenttTrail Marketing posts got smashed up today:
The New Altruism: Wright, Shermer and Benkler
Why Internet Marketing Must Disrupt To Win
These recent posts got me thinking (always dangerous lol). What if we can use Altruism as a disruptive force?
Pepsi achieve disruption in the Cola Wars with the magical User Generated Content platform Pepsi refresh (see this great AdAge summary and infographic for more http://adage.com/article/viewpoint/a-teaching-moment-professors-evaluate-pepsi-refresh-project/237629/ ).
MasterCard is disrupting my TV time with the weird guy singing about standing up to cancer (http://mastercard.standup2cancer.org/ ) and nonprofits are becoming disruptive as RobinHood.org and ChairityWater.org prove.
Can Altruism Disrupt?
Altruism may be the ONLY marketing act sure to disrupt from now to the end of time. Sure Altruism has HUGE proponents in Google and Facebook, but as Benkler discussed in the video included in my The New Altruism post PAPA GOT A BRAND NEW BAG.
I've been wondering why we seem to have suddenly made this turn toward altruism when Benkler explained it so beautifully. This trend isn't a turn, a tune or a change. The majority of people, like 70%, have always wanted a fair expression of altruism in their lives.
We assumed, and you know what happens when we Internet marketers do that, everyone was the 30% of self-interested pirates. Benkler makes the same point as Gladwell in Tipping Point. Given the right context we jump the turnstile, we break the window, we join the 30%.
We are NOT all one thing or another ever. We are a strange mix of all kinds of things. Art, science, anger, love and magician and bully are present and, given the right circumstance, will visit and sometimes make it feel like we are THAT or THIS.
Not so much as it turns out. Perhaps I have unique perspective on the question of who I am. In quick succession I lost my role in the company I co-founded, the love of my life and heard "cancer" and my name in the same sentence. Tough couple of years taught me some HARD things about ME. I can be an ASS and a kind, loving, generous person sometimes in the same day, hour, minute (lol).
Pema Chodron taught me to forgive and Eckhart Tolle taught me to live in this moment, the one happening NOW. Both these great teachers help create the complex self Benkler discusses.
Perhaps this self-awareness is why DISRUPTION is so important. A company, brand or product willing to disrupt is unsure, acting in the NOW with courage. They may FAIL, some believe Pepsi did, or they may just create a new less selfish and more connected future.
I may not get to that future with you or your children, but it is coming and I will spend every dime I've ever saved and every moment I have to help altruism DISRUPT because life is short, magical and full of joy. Why wouldn't we share such a disruptive message?
What about you? What have you disrupted or been good to lately? Share your experience with Altruisim or cause marketing and I will curate in. Thanks, you ROCK. Marty

Back with a New Format
Free Willy Wednesdays is back to a weekly format here on Gotta Dance Dirty! Every first wednesday of the month will bring a new free tune from Willy Joy himself, and for the rest of the month he will curate a selection of excellent tunes to share with you guys.
Willy's Recommendation of the Week
This week Willy's pick comes from the the young princes of Jersey club music DJ Slink, DJ Rell and Nadus.
Willy says: "There's something about dudes who come from the bmore/philly/jersey club scene – they just know how to chop samples better and in a different way than anyone else. Here these guys take a classic Missy tune and throw it way into the future with insane chops and huge bass. I don't always play a ton of stuff in this vein, but I'll be playing this every set. Its just too good!"

By COREY BLUEMELStaff Writer
The Old Spanish Trail Association held its annual convention in Green River, at the John Wesley Powell River History Museum. This was the 13th annual meeting of the OSTA members. Nearly 80 people from Arizona, New Mexico, California, Nevada, Colorado, Idaho, Washington, the United Kingdom, and Utah attended the annual meeting.
Since the designation of the Old Spanish Trail as a National Historic Trail on Dec. 4, 2002, the OSTA and its board have worked with the Bureau of Land Management and the National Park Service in scoping, mapping and planning the management of the trail.
Members of the OSTA meet at this annual convention to be updated from the federal partners about the scoping process, and also to visit portions of the trail. They met and many informative workshops were held.
Along with the workshops, the group was taken on a float trip on the Green River where they viewed the ford location the trail took through the river. Those who did not attend the float trip were taken by vehicles for a tour of the Green River area which also included a look at the ford on the river. These tours were led by local residents who were able to relate some local history and folklore.
To conclude the conference, the group took a tour of the trail route from Green River to Castle Dale. Along the way, they were treated to many of the points of interest in the San Rafael Swell.
Upon their arrival at the Museum of the San Rafael in Castle Dale, they were welcomed by Commissioner Gary Kofford, and Sylvia Nelson and Bert Oman of the Emery County Historical Society. Commissioner Kofford asked them what they thought of Emery County and was answered with a thunderous round of applause. "We are very proud of our Old Spanish Trail heritage. We are very happy to have you here and you are welcome to come back anytime," Commissioner Kofford said.
The group was given a tour of the museum and encouraged to ask any question concerning Emery County or the Old Spanish Trail in our area. Many of the attendees were interested in the size of Emery County because they had left Green River and traveled all day and were still in Emery County. They were also interested in the geological aspects of the Swell.
One visitor, David Fallowfield of Penrith, Cumbria, England, stated, "I have been on the Santa Fe Trail, the Oregon Trail, the Pony Express Trail, and I think this portion of the Old Spanish Trail is the most diverse. You see a different view through the windscreen every five minutes. This place should be a national park."
Fallowfield explained his interest in the trails in the United States. "When I was growing up, many of my family members would immigrate here, and they never came back. As I grew, I needed to know what was so special about the US. In 1985, I became interested in the Family History Society and discovered a family connection with the Old Spanish Trail. William Workman, who used the trail was in my family history, so I wanted to see it. I came over on vacations and have become very fascinated with the lands here," said Fallowfield.
He went on to say that the town he was from in England, Penrith, meant red hill in Celtic. "I find it very ironic that I'm from red hill and come here and I am surrounded by red hills."

sweet home
works from the Peter Fay collection
A National Gallery of Australia
Travelling Exhibition
11 October 2003 – 18 January 2004
I have a strong belief in rattling the cage. I want to get people asking – Why is that here? Why is that art and not that? 'Outsider' artists have as much to give as established or 'Insider' artists.
Peter Fay in conversation May 2003
Of course, the great collectors are themselves creators … Sometimes they can be ecstatic about things whose origin and meaning are entirely alien: they can afford to take chances.
Roger Cardinal, Marginalia: perspectives on outsider art, Museum De Stadshof, 2000
To enter into the Home Sweet Home: Works from the Peter Fay Collection at the National Gallery of Australia is to enter into a sense of adventure. This exciting show of predominantly Australian and New Zealand contemporary art provides the opportunity for new ways of thinking about inventive displays and approaches to collecting art. The exhibition is, as the title suggests, about art that comes from a domestic context and examines the way the idea of 'home' and by extension, our hearts and minds, can be transformed by art.
This remarkable exhibition reveals the passions of a collector who has supported well known and emerging artists as well as numerous talented so-called 'outsider' artists (working outside the mainstream). Perhaps most of all Fay seeks to overcome distinctions between 'insider' and 'outsider' and convey ways of entering into the passions of what it is to be human; our shared joys and struggles seen through the artists' diverse points of view. Co-curated by Deborah Hart, Senior Curator of Australian Painting and Sculpture at the NGA, and Glenn Barkley, Curator, University of Wollongong, the exhibition challenges conventions and opens up fresh ways of engaging with the vitality of the processes of art-making and collecting. It reminds us that you don't need to be hugely wealthy to be a collector but rather than you can develop an interesting collection by taking risks and an imaginative approach. Roger Cardinal's words in a recent publication sum up aspects of the Peter Fay collection: 'The art offers us the prospect of an alternative and potentially revolutionary way of seeing … It is work that may provoke a steady rapturous ache in the beholder'. (Roger Cardinal, Marginalia, referred to above)
There are some 240 works in the show, in a wide range of media – painting, drawing, photography, video, domestic-scale sculpture and objects including dolls and shell bridges. The artists include, among many others: Laurence Aberhart, Slim Barrie, Leo Cussen, Mikala Dwyer, Rosalie Gascoigne, Shaun Gladwell, Robert MacPherson, John Northe, Neil Roberts, Lola Ryan, Gina Sinozich, Val Sutherland, Ricky Swallow, Ronnie van Hout and Ken Whisson.

MMORPG.com StarQuest Online Correspondent Allen Richardson writes this list of the pros and cons of StarQuest Online.
The game has changed since my original review, I decided to review it again. This time, rather than give you long paragraphs describing the game in detail, I'm just going to tell you what I did and didn't like about it.
What I liked about StarQuest Online
Open PvP/PvE
The only places safe from PvP are on the starting core worlds. These are the areas where new people first enter StarQuest, and where you immortrax if killed. PvE is possible to some extent in core worlds, it allows the new player to get a sense of how the combat works, before actually trying to fight something that might turn out to be a player who is much more experienced. Things like cows, butterflies, dinosaurs, the occasional demon cow with spikes, are there to try your hand at before venturing out into the "real" world.
Jon Wood
Managing Editor
It looks like a crude version of Star Wars Galaxies and no I had never heard of this game before this article. One think I gotta say about is(Just like SWG), it has ground and space combat. I hate it will all you are in a game is just the ship. Variety is always a good thing. The only games that will have this idea in the future (That I know of.) is Star Trek Online, possibly Star Wars: The Old Republic, and maybe Stargate Worlds. Hope SWTOR has space, cause that's the one upcoming sci-fi game I wanna play.
When we get back from where we are going, we will return to where we were. I know people there!
I just tried this game out. I'll give them an A for effort, but that is all. The graphic are dated, but I could learn to deal with it. My biggest issues with the game is the isometric camera angle and the point-n-click character movement. Both are very clumsy and cumbersome to say the least. Plus there was no full screen mode, but just like the graphics. I could have gotten used to it. Overall very poor experience all together. I applauded the devs on the space and ground combat and the vastness of the game. Overall this game gets a D minus, almost a F though.
When we get back from where we are going, we will return to where we were. I know people there!
The community consists of politicians and drama-queens (just check their forums for all the I quit messages and awful infighting) and patches come one per two months and it usually consists of one tweak and one item renamed...beta bugs still exist.
I really enjoyed reading this article. Have always been curious about this game.

Just from the pictures in this article that statement is complete baloney, and there have been two patches in the last three weeks
I played StarQuest last year, and I'm back playing again. There have been many improvements from the last time I played.
You can customixe the controls, and change the camera angle or play in first person if you want. The garphics are dated, but the game is not about graphics.
All I can say is try it for at least a week, and you'll change your mind. Besides, the trial account is for 30 days, and there are no account restriction. you get a full account for 30 days, to form an honest opinoin of the game. If you only played for 2 huors, you have no idea of the potential of this game.
I've tried to play this game several times and ended up quitting every time I've played. I love the concepts behind the game but those alone don't make for an enjoyable experience. I've played games with much worse graphics that I enjoyed thoroughly so the graphics were not an issue with me. What did the game in for me every time was the absolutely horrendous control scheme. I felt like I was in a constant battle with the game itself just to do the simplest things. Simply remapping the controls through the interface is not enough... They need to rework the entire control scheme. I would love to like this game as it seems to have great potential but I simply can't play a game with such crappy controls and find it enjoyable.
I didn't say anything about the camera since you can position it anywhere you want if you turn on all the controls for it. With recent updates I think the camera in this game has more "placability" than just about any MMO I've played. -Stuff like your view getting cut off because of no camera clipping is bad though
I'm one of those weird PvP'ers, I play a game for 1-3 months before moving on. SQO held me for almost 2 years. Try it for a week or so, and get on a Fleet ship for at least a couple days before you through out the entire contents of the tub.
Ya play for more than a couple of hours, make a fleet character for the training by real people, post your name of forums so poeple know you exist (space is vast, really vast, there are people that don';t troll forums), make a civ character too for fleet downtimes.
There are poeple from north and south america that play, europe, australia, so if you fit in a certain time zone, yoiu'll probably be able to play with someone that can show you the ropes.
Personally, ive had my ship i served under blown up under me, been in pvp and pve battles, ive been kidnapped as a civilian, jailed, drugged, used a sword to end my own characters life, met some aliean races, its an awesome game, im hooked.
Anything you do has consequences. This is not for the faint at heart.

Skip to comments.Joe Biden guarantees Obama will bypass reluctant Republicans and cement new gun control laws
Posted on 01/09/2013 6:07:32 PM PST by tobyhill
Vice President Biden pledged Wednesday that President Obama will bypass a reluctant Republicans in Congress and take executive action to curb gun violence, prompting a full-blown fit from conservative gun rights backers.
Biden heads a White House task force set this month to release proposals in response to the Newtown shooting. He told reporters before a Wednesday meeting with gun violence victims and gun control groups that Obama will not let Republican resistance prevent action.
"The president is going to act. There are executives orders, there's executive action that can be taken," Biden said. "We haven't decided what that is yet." Biden said Obama will also offer legislative proposals.
The Vice President's remarks set a tough tone ahead of another meeting Thursday with pro-gun organizations including the National Rifle Association and Wal-Mart, the nation's leading seller of firearms.
"I want to make clear that we're not going to get caught up in the notion that, unless we can do everything, were going to do nothing," said Biden, who was joined at the meeting by Attorney General Eric Holder.

Good Lord; Bite-me said Obungo will use "executive action" to bring about gun control. Doesn't that ignoramus know what "executive action' means?
Dick Cheney guarantees Bush will bypass reluctant Democrats and cement new speech control laws (by executive order).
The media would be calling for impeachment, 24/7 news coverage of the Constitutional crisis, a count down would start for Bush's forced resignation. And you know what? That would be the right response because a president who did this is violating his oath to uphold the Constitution.
Now compare that to the media response to this headline...
That stupid so-and-so might as well try to ban Vise-grips or barbecue grills.
Before you know it we'll have amnesty for illegal aliens and a nationalized health care system! /s
Its a trap. Biden couldn't guarantee the sun will rise tomorrow.
Because if your elected officials can take our rights by edict you truly have no rights. Today's anti-gun dictator may become tomorrow's anti-speech dictator.
Regardless what he "allows" or forbids, only a dictator creates or takes rights with the stroke of a pen.
"Dick Cheney guarantees Bush will bypass reluctant Democrats and cement new ABORTION control laws (by executive order)."
Calling Dr. Phill!
And of course, anyone else the least bit reverant to the Constitution.
"The prince's will has the force of law."
Obama cannot pass a law.
To those who didn't vote for Romney, You hold some responsibility for what we're now facing. You saw the destruction Obama did in his first term, but you had more rage for Romney. I blame a good portion of what we're currently facing with this Tyrant on these so-called "Patriots." Hope you can look at yourself in the mirror. I'd be ashamed if i were you.
They are losing and they know it.
I think the grabbers are soon to be amazed they are leading on this issue without the masses in-tow.
The masses are pissed and now know for a fact which party is after their 2A rights. Will they remember this in 2014 or 2016? Will the pubbies be smart enough to remind them?

Hey Joe, don't you mean "El Presidente"?
Keep your powder dry and be ready to lock and load.
Yeah. I just wish the GOP in DC would go on the offensive.
Make no mistake, Obama's going to try doing this by executive fiat, the TYRANT!
"At that moment we no longer live in the America we grew up in, but in tyranny and oppression."
IMHO, we already live in an America far different than the America we grew up in.
With Obama, tyranny and oppression can only get worse.
1. Joe is a drunken stupid lying idiot.
ObaMao has already crossed the anti free speech threshold. Remember his director of whitehut communication requesting forwarding private emails to them from anyone criticizing their takeover of healthcare... among other usurpations.
For those who were not around or who were not paying attention, back in the 1980's, Joe Biden was one of those far-left aholes like Metzenbaum that proposed gun-control laws every month.
It was one of his pet projects and it drained a lot of money and resources and diplomatic leeway from the NRA.
They have been trying for decades to kill the 2nd Amendment by a thousand nicks.
Now they are just going for the Taliban-style beheading.
What do you mean may?
Someone should make a movie about it.
Stroke of the pen. Law of the land. Kinda cool.
> How to describe a tyrant:
"The prince's will has the force of law."
more like Satan's will has the force of law and it's obvious he's backing Obama's efforts all the way. I've never seen anyone that has events line up to fit his agendas the way they do or the ability to control weak minded fools the way he does. He has someone's "blessing" and I know it ain't God's

As long as it's the kind of cement job Jimmy Hoffa got....
First they need to restrict the ability to executive by the the president; it's obvious there's not enough checks and balances in this regard.
First they need to restrict the ability to use executive orders by the the president; it's obvious there's not enough checks and balances in this regard and it's being abused against the offend people. He must have seen this loophole before he ran for president.

Unfortunately there are too many (low information) voters who actually disagree with us on this.
Chowder head Biden has sniffed too much cement glue.
There's also the 2nd Amendment thingy. I guess the NY Daily News isn't aware of it.
Yes SIR!! They are about to piss us off— and they don't want that. No they don't.
If Joe believes what he is saying, why fart around with Congress at all, Just let Obama get the job done.
Dick-tator Obama, the One, The where all and be all. The Savior.
Write it up bama-boy. let's get this show on the road.
The sooner it's done the sooner we can get America back on the right path.The Constitutional path.
Yeah but I thought the Supreme Court has previously ruled that the President can not use an executive order to create a new law. Of course with the enemy of liberty and freedom (a.k.a. Chief Justice John Roberts) sitting on the bench no telling what can happen.
I consider this an act of war.

LA collective Wedidit (known perhaps best for their work with acts like Shlohmo, RL Grime, and visual artist Sus Boy) have just released a dual-sided EP from new artists to their roster: C.Z. and Arnold. "Das Why" is C.Z.'s track, what I happily am going to dub as "evil runway" thanks to a very amusing Soundcloud comment thread. Tamed horns, repetitive vocaling, squeaks and drips, and the tiniest tinge of 808 cowbell, "Das Why" is dark but still relatively charming, a novel combination that WEDIDIT has made its name in. The other half of the EP, Arthur's "Plus and Minus" is much more atmospheric, with pitched-up melodic vocals, piano chords, and little additions of triplet-snares. Though the two tracks contain similar elements (cut-up repetitive vocals, toned-down base elements (horns, piano), and little sound trinkets) and thus work well together, they're very aesthetically different.
Accompanying the release is a music video for the tracks, designed by none-other than WEDIDIT's own Sus Boy. Sus Boy, however mysterious of an entity he presents himself to be, has been making serious waves in the world of the internet this year, doing everything from designing EP covers to websites to tour visuals to music videos, each time with an perspective that is oft-imitated but somehow all his own.

It's going to be a good day. Always when there are new James McAvoy pictures.
This is James on the set of The Disappearance Of Eleanor Rigby in New York yesterday with Jessica Chastain. As you can see, Jessica and James seem to get on well, play-fighting at work, lots of laughs even though they play wife and husband in a troubled marriage. They also both have really great hair. I love how she's wearing hers right now.
Future Hollywood Sliding Doors conversation? Naomi Watts is currently shooting the Diana movie that Jessica was originally supposed to be doing.

Love it!
"Bought the sky blue for spring. The bootie is very comfortable, but I would suggest ordering a size down. This bootie runs long and wide, but once you get the right fit, this bootie is too cute. Feels and looks great."

"These boots were just waiting for me as I perused the clearance racks. My normal size 8 was loose and floppy. Thankfully, there was one remaining 7 1/2 with my name on it. These are perfect transitioning to Spring, and will be a lovely staple in the transition to Autumn. The photo does not do these shoes justice. They are a peachy taupe with unique variations in the leather coloring. So glad I purchased them."

Nice boot but it runs very big
"I usually wear a size 10 boot but I followed the reviews and decided to order a size 9. After trying the boot on, even the size 9 was a little to big. A size 8 1/2 would have fit perfect but they had sold out. Unfortunately I had to send the boot back. Overall it was really a nice boot and I would definitely reorder them again if they ever get my size."

I am still deep into reading the Probate file of Morris Durbin who died in 1880 in Fayette County, Illinois. The file is somewhat large and I am entering each document into my database, transcribing it, scanning it reviewing it for clues to the family.
I sent away for the probate file of John Nicholas Poundstone from Cass County Indiana today. He died in 1900. I also managed to fill out five requests for death records on Poundstone's in Cass County Indiana and mailed them off.
I had the opportunity to share information with another Poundstone researcher. I questioned her citations, or lack there of, and she said "I am more interested in the story aspect of genealogy than the documentation." ARGH!!! That statement frustrates me so much. I don't know how you can have a story without the facts. Does genealogy have a story aspect without a basis of facts or information obtained from research?
It reminds me of a patron at the library I met last Thursday. She wanted to do research in Russia. I asked to see her family information. She did not use a database, forms or any form of organization. I explained to her that she cannot do research in Russia until she has her researched finished in the United States. She said she didn't care about the United States research. She was carrying around original letters, information from her family being located in Canada (again original docs), and other original family photos and documents but had no idea what she had and did not have. First I told her to stop carrying around the original documents and to make photocopies if she needed to carry them around. I then told her to fill out family group sheets and a chronology of the information she had on her family. Once again, not interested - only wants to do Russian research. I hope at the very least she will copy the originals and stop carrying them around.
My frustration level with others is high - I guess I will need to seek out my "real" researchers out for reassurance that I am not nuts, just surrounded by them. Maybe it's the heat of summer frying the brains of so called researchers and story makers.

Hey all,
It's that time of year again where we have to think about all the important people in our lives (and how we're going to finance the wonderful gifts we will give them ). I've always had trouble finding interesting gifts for everyone and so this year I decided to start a little side project (I work in finance full-time so this helps me work on my creativity a bit!) to help out with gift suggestions.
You can see the current state of my creation here.
I'm curious to find out whether or not any of you guys find the process of getting everyone interesting gifts as overwhelming as I do sometimes and how you get through the season without going a little crazy (my roommate bought me a stress ball last year around this time). How do you guys cope?

Put these on my car about 1000 miles ago. They have done a superb job keeping traction in both dry and wet. I havent tried on snow but I feel dedicated snow tires are always recommended so why should I care about how these do in snow. They handle great in hard cornering and have a solid sidewall. The road noise could be improved but its no big deal at the moment. Acceleration from a straight line is no drama, I've had days where the tires dont spin at all which I never had with my previous ps2. Treadwear has been great so far. Maybe lost 5% tread in the 1000 miles Ive done. But I spin the tires regularly and drive down gravel roads often. These things dont deserve anything less than 4 stars.

Almost totaled car in snow which despite AWD, I did a total spin. Had to buy tires and rims for winter. Returned leased car with 21,000 miles and being charged for excess wear. Stay away. Couldn't wait to get rid of these tires. Should not be sold where it snows - they are deadly.

Four tires purchased Dunlop Rover RVXT 225 65 15 new from Sams June 2012 Slidell, LA and mounted on Airstream trailer. Mileage on tires 12743 at time of failure, date. Nov 3 2013. Cold inflation pressure 75. Tires were operating at 82 psi, outside temp 62 degrees, tire running temp 77 degrees, speed 68 mph, location I59 smooth concrete just west of Bessemer, AL. weather clear and dry, vehicle weight 6800 lbs loaded. TPMS installed is Truck Systems Technologies 507. Front roadside tire tread separation occurred throwing complete circle of tread from tire doing significant damage to vehicle. No prior low/high pressure or temperature TPMS warning. When stopped, tire was moderately warm to touch but in no manner hot and certainly not overheated and no smoke. Absolutely not warning. Not only would not buy Dunlop again, I don't even want walk within tread throwing distance of a stationary Dunlop tire. Save your money and walk past these low quality cheap tires. Buy Michelin or some other top end tire.

BURBANK, CALIFORNIA -- I purchased a package from Ashley Furniture and had my fist delivery on July 3rd. The sofa was broken and I refused delivery. I was told do not under any circumstances accept a damaged item because then it can't be returned. So I refused delivery and set up a new delivery for the 5th. They were a no-show at the agreed time. Called hours later saying "We have your sofa coming now." I was not home at the time and said "You are 5 hours late." The employee was rude and said "Well the sofa is in the truck and staying in the truck." I immediately called the store and scheduled a delivery for today July 8th.
The two employees knocked on my door and apologized saying "Ma'am we can not deliver this sofa. Come take a look." Well I looked. It was lying on its side, not wrapped, dirty all over back and bottom from the truck. The workers said this cannot be a new couch!!! It's not even wrapped. Well apparently it appears it is the same sofa I refused delivery on from the 3rd. This posh store tried to redeliver the same sofa that was broken. So now I refuse delivery again and call the store. The supervisor argued with me saying "Well if you want a refund then we have to come back and get the sofa we delivered on the 3rd!!!" WTF.
I refused delivery and the sofa was put back on the truck. This woman argued with me calling me a liar stating my recited show... Blah blah blah. Really take your records and choke lady. So now this posh store won't refund my money because their paperwork says I have a sofa!! I'm so done. Next step small claims court. Never use this store. Ashley Furniture in Burbank, CA. Can not be trusted!!!
SANFORD, FLORIDA -- I went into the Ashley Homestore on Towne Center Blvd Sanford, FL to look at new furniture. The salesperson who greeted us was super nice, everyone was. We were left to wander the store to look at everything without being followed around which I loved. When we finished Kayla, who was helping us sat down with us to discuss what we liked. We decided on a sleeper sofa, love seat, a table at that time.
She explained their financing, also protection warranty, etc. I had come back twice more, still undecided. Last time I came into the store, Kayla was only too happy to talk to me again. Same sleeper sofa, same love seat. We decided no on the table and went with an Ottoman.
When it came to writing this up, she once again mentioned the protection warranty, which we were not interested in. First they wanted me to apply for a credit card, which when I said no they seemed shocked. The time frame I got for the furniture being delivered was at best three weeks. Though we were happy with the experience overall, we were not with the financing.
We decided to go through their online store, as we loved the furniture but hated the finance choices. To my surprise on the online store this was cheaper, 480. Cheaper than in store. I had no issues with my purchase, none with delivery. On the website this sofa is suppose to have a Memory foam mattress, not springs. I even checked in store to be sure.
When it arrived 5 days after purchasing I was thrilled. We did look at the mattress, noticed it was not the same color as one in store but did not notice it was springs until it was slept on. Since we got on a Friday I called their customer care on Monday. I had no issues, though I had thought they would just replace the mattress. They replaced the whole couch! Loved the couch to begin with. It arrived this morning, Wednesday, just two days after I called. Exact mattress we saw in couch in store. Perfect!
I have read MANY terrible reviews about Ashley. I can't find any on their online store. I dealt with the store. It was a great experience. The people at this store are super friendly, helpful. I purchased online because I have before, not with Ashley, but it was a good experience. As this was.
I have to say kudos to the people in customer care. I experienced no runaround, no shift in blame, nothing I have read about. The furniture we bought is super comfortable, soft, NO damage either time. It all came wrapped in plastic, cardboard. The delivery people were AWESOME! Both times. I wish I could find more positive and less negative. I did not buy leather and would not. I have cats. This fabric is totally washable, not treated by any chemicals, which I am happy about.
I dealt with their head office, their customer care, their warehouse in Tampa and did not have the experience of many. It was all good. More than happy with this purchase and I would again. I have only had this furniture for a few days. I don't regret the purchase one bit. I would use their online store again, and this store to look anytime. They're super. I DO NOT work for Ashley Furniture, as I noticed on other sites any positive is met with these reviews are from employees. Nope, I am a satisfied customer.
CHATTANOOGA, TENNESSEE -- We bought this Premium Lenoris Collection totaling almost 5,000.00. Within 6 months this "new" nylon webbing technology that replaced the metal springs began to stretch and sag making the seats useless. Warranty refused to fix. They only chose to put new foam in the cushions which fixed nothing. Months later, we're still replacing foam and still have useless furniture. If you're looking for expensive imported junk, this is your brand!!
FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA -- Purchased a sectional couch and two couch trays. One of the sectionals came missing - pieces necessary to recline or connect the couch to the other sections. We attempted to request the correct pieces and even sent a picture at their request. They could not send the correct pieces and insisted they need to send a tech out to look at the couch. They could only commit to a date and could not provide the time they were to come until 2 days in advance. They also only offer to come out one day per week. This is extremely inconvenient and forces the customer to take a day off of work.
We had also purchased two couch trays. These arrived at a separate time. Upon opening the package, one of the trays was missing the tray portion. It was only a metal frame. In attempting to remedy these issues, the corporate office was extremely unhelpful. We even attempted to discuss with the manager Harold. We will not be purchasing furniture or should I say pieces of furniture (since that is what they provide) from Ashley Furniture or Furniture Mart again.
SUNRISE, FLORIDA -- We purchased the Power Recliner and Power Sofa at the end of Sept. 2015. Took delivery and after the holidays noticed the you would sink down lower in the recliner than the sofa, also the right "arm" pad was flat. We contacted them as we bought the extended home service plan. They looked at the pictures we sent them and they sent out a service tech.
The tech had told my wife and I that the recliner looked like it was a manufacturer's defect... He called his findings and the woman on the other end told my wife and I they were not going to do anything it was a wear condition? So $2200.00 plus the $200.00 plus on the warranty and you get 4 months use out of your furniture. Do not go to this store... Very bad business.
RICHMOND, VIRGINIA -- On March 30th, 2016, I purchased several pieces of furniture from Ashley Furniture Store on Broad Street, in Richmond, Virginia. The first time we sat on the furniture, the foot of the sofa broke off, rendering the sofa unsafe for use. I communicated this to the Manager of Customer Service, Ms. **, and was told that the sofa would have to be checked and repaired.
I did not pay for refurbished furniture, and the cash that I paid was not defective. I requested an exchange, which was denied. I took out a Warrant in debt to request a refund; however, you must file the claim in Fredericksburg, an hour and a half away, and I have to contact an attorney to find out who is accountable. The Ashley Furniture chains seems to be in the business of defrauding the public, and with the assistance of the legal system, it is impossible to resolve an issue or get a refund.
BURBANK -- I purchased a couch, loveseat, and ottoman from Ashley Furniture. Before the one year warranty on my furniture had terminated, the seams on the cushions of the furniture were tearing away. After trying to get in contact with customer service numerous times, I was finally able to get a hold of someone after waiting 30 to 40 minutes in the phone. The representatives were rude and rushed me to get off the phone.
They proceeded to send me replacement parts but did not send all the parts. When the first worker came to replace the parts, he realized that the entire order had not been shipped. Once again, I had to call and tell them to send the rest of the parts, of which I remained on the phone for 30 to 40 minutes just to talk to someone.
When they sent a second person to replace the furniture parts, the worker came without tools just to tell me that the company had scheduled the work for 30 minutes but in actuality about 3 hours of labor was required. Therefore, the worker did not do anything but came all the way to tell me that the work could not be done and that I had to call in and reschedule again. This would be the fourth time.
Apart from the low quality of the furniture, it is evident that both the customer service and the independent workers who come to fix the products are incompetent and just wasting people's time. I am deeply disappointed in the service and will not consider shopping with this company again.

Designed with the help of Bassmaster Elite Series veteran pro, Jeff Kreit, the Big Bite Baits Jeff Kriet Shaking Squirrel is part of Kreit's signature series of baits. Manufactured out of a softer plastic formula than the other Squirrel Tail baits, it's special soft plastic formulation along with its slender shape provide it with maximum movement and action in the water. Originally designed as a drop shot bait, Kriet has found it also works extremely well for a host of other finesse presentations. Available in two sizes, the Big Bite Baits Jeff Kriet Shaking Squirrel comes in a variety of Big Bite's top fish catching colors.

Comments: I read an article somewhere about trying these on shakey head. Yes, they are thin, but they WORK! Fishing the Bold gill color around docks has been ticket for me. I use robo's on DS, but these on shakey. God bless and tight lines !
From: Mike: Cumming, GA 9/6/16
Comments: These worms certainly are something special. If I am not throwing a Roboworm of some kind on a drop shot, these are what I throw. Sure, they have greater durability than the straight tail Robos, the fat Roboworms have an equivolent durability. The colors on the shakig squirrel line are not as pronounced as any Roboworm, but they can still be very effective. I personally like the Sunrise and bold gill chartreuse the best, and neither of those colors are offered by Roboworm. If they were, honestly, I would probably not throw these at all and stick with my Robos.
From: Matty: KY 7/20/14
Comments: I bought a pack of these to see how they stacked up against Robo. The color I bought was Bold Gil, since bold bluegil Roboworms have always produced for me. The quality of design is very nice, but the color is extremely inconsistant. Some of them have bright green on the bottom(very nice) and others seem to have been contaminated and are almost black. That being said, I will probably make use of the ones that have green like in the picture here at TW.com, and toss the rest.
From: Mike: Huntington Beach, CA 4/16/14
Comments: These are a bit thin for a Shakey head but you can't beat them on a drop shot
From: Tom: TX
Comments: These are great worms! The main reason I prefer these over Roboworms is the durability. Great action in the water also.
From: David: Bowling Green, KY
Comments: Like a cross between a RI Flirt and Robo
From: JCrane: AL
Comments: WOW. Bold gill chart.
From: Connor: AR
Comments: this is a good worm, but i still dont believe that anything is better than a roboworm for a finesse worm.
From: Bryce: Orange County, CA
Comments: This worm is the perfect shaky head worm. love it on the gamakatsu alien head stand up jig head. good colors( i keep colors simple, grn pump. mostly) great action, good durability. caught a possible state record smallmouth on it. (not official)
From: Scott: Maine
Comments: I agree with John of Bossier City that it's pretty much a Roboworm. BUT, First, I am a HUGE fan of roboworm, i fish almost everything in their line-up. So, second, it'd take a lot for me to like a roboworm "copy" but it isn't...U have to give Jeff Kriet credit because it's not real easy to put much variation or "innnovation" on a true straight shakin' worm, but he has on TWO worms. His squirrel tail worm w/ the floating tail is phenomonal. And this is virtually identical to the roboworm except for 3 subtle (yet key IMO) things- 1. Different color options from roboworm; 2. the bottom side has a subtle "ribbed" or texturned bottom for a little more water movement, and 3. The best different...the tail tapers down to a very FLAT point so it's almost as thin as tape @ the end...i believe this helps it shake really well and like it a lot. I won't say this makes is better than roboworms but they are a bit cheaper...extremely similiar tho. I do suggest trying a bag or three though.
Comments: i think jeff did a real good job designing this worm. It works really good on a shakey head, the biggest fish ive caught off it was a 4 pounder, it is a darn good bait, stands up real nice and has great action, fish cant resist, and i also have noticed bluegill like these baits alot haha.
From: Jared: KY
Comments: Great Bait, the 4.5 size is great when bass wont a smaller bait, the green pump. chart. tail is my go to when it gets tough
From: Sam: Crestview, FL
Comments: Really like this worm but it's basically a Roboworm... I like the Roboworm better.
From: John: Bossier, LA

Style Salvage Steve
Steve Salter of Style Salvage is my blogging hero. His blog features interviews with emerging designers, journalists, and shop owners, style profiles, and snaps of his own personal style. He'd be what I'd call a quietly powerful force in menswear today, still sincerely modest after having been named one of British GQ's 100 most influential men of 2011 and having fashion buyers the world over stocking new designers after reading about them on Style Salvage. He was one of the very first to take note of The Dandy Project, and the integrity and fervor by which he runs Style Salvage continues to inspire me. Steve was in town for fashion week, and I thought I'd take some photographs of him inspired by a phrase he used to describe his style in an interview years ago: "an Englishman on holiday." This Englishman on holiday in New York brought forth quite a modern, sensible interpretation of the idea with the wardrobe he packed for the trip: it was a uniform of sorts, made up of a relaxed shirt and sweatpant-like trousers, and comfortable shoes.

So Comfy
"I bought my first pair of Havaianas last month while on vacation. I usually would not spend that much on "flip flops", but mine broke and I was desperate. I absolutely loved them! So as soon as I got home I took advantage of the $5 off coupon and bought these. I wear a size 10 to 10.5 and the 11/12 US - 41/42 Brazil fit me perfectly. They are nice quality and are very comfortable. The color is a little lighter in person. I have had several compliments on them already. This is my new brand of flip flop sandals!"

Run short
"I was excited to receive these but disappointed to find that they run very short! The 11/12 was too small for my size 11 feet. And they were tied together so I couldn't even see if they were comfortable to walk in.I did really like the weight and material of the sandals and the strap around the ankle works very well to re-size."

A little dressier thong
"I have another pair of Havianas and just love them. I liked the idea of having a more sandal-like functionality with this pair. They do run a very littlie bit small, but not enough to send back. I think these will be a favorite very soon."

The first day of school is finally here and you're probably wondering what to pack for lunch.
A clinical dietician with Lovelace Westside Hospital told KOB Eyewitness News 4 that well-balanced meals really help kids focus in the classroom. Erin Baudino-Burgarello said string cheese, yogurt and fruit are great snacks for your kids. But remember—the most important meal is what they have before school.
We all know the saying, it's the most important meal of the day, and Baudino-Burgarello says it really is.
"We fuel our brains definitely through breakfast," she said.
Baudino-Burgarello knows mornings can be a little hectic for parents and kids getting ready for the day. She suggests planning ahead so you don't miss breakfast.
"Creating something that is quick the night before hand: boiled eggs, a peanut butter sandwich," she said. "So that way when you're rushing out the door, you can quickly grab (breakfast)."
And those lunches? Go with the basics, like a sandwich with wheat bread and sandwich meat, fruit, yogurt and milk. Remember that healthy is always key.
But just because it's healthy doesn't mean it'll cost you more.
"If you buy foods that are in season, fruits and vegetables, we're at the height of several fruits and vegetables right now," Baudino-Burgarello said. "If they're not in season, say your child likes Bing cherries and it's in the winter, buy them frozen. That's another healthy alternative and it saves a lot of money."
And if you have a picky eater on your hands, keep it simple.
"I would not change anything. Definitely not within the first couple of weeks of school. You want to send them with something that they're familiar with so sending those foods that they like, but introducing something new," Baudino-Burgarello said.
She also recommends taking your kids shopping so they can get excited about eating their lunch at school.
