The Personal in the Political
Join us for a special evening featuring three Arab American writers exploring the boundaries between personal and political: novelist/poet
Hala Alyan
and poets
Hayan Charara
Marwa Helal
. From the Six-Day War and the invasion of Iraq to explosive poetic experimentations, these writers explore what it means to have a private self, a family space, and a home in the conditions of war, displacement, and migration. They'll speak with novelist and former AAWW Open City Fellow
Tanwi Nandini Islam
$5 SUGGESTED DONATION | OPEN TO THE PUBLIC In Hala Alyan's novel
Salt Houses
(Houghton Mifflin Harcourt 2017), a six-decade-spanning multigenerational Palestinian novel, Salma reads her soon-to-be-married daughter Alia's future in a cup of coffee grounds. She sees their family's future: being uprooted in the Six-Day War of 1967, leaving their home in Nablus, and Alia moving to Kuwait, which is soon invaded by Saddam Hussein in 1990. As Alia and her family lose their home, the novel spans Beirut, Paris, and Boston and tells a lyrical story of refugee displacement, assimilation, and migration. (Alyan has named Jhumpa Lahiri and Amy Tan as influences.) Novelist Ru Freeman writes: "
Salt Houses
is a piercingly elegant novel that registers Palestine with deep resonance for what it is: a once beloved home, known, lost, and re-imagined into life. A place where families decide between security and happiness, religion and heritage, where war is constant, yet peace is found. In the exquisite prose of a poet, Hala Alyan shows how we carry our origins in our hearts wherever we may roam, and how that history is calibrated by the places we choose to put down roots. This is a book with the power to both break and mend your heart." Alyan also wrote three poetry collections:
(Three Rooms Press 2012), an Arab American Book Award winner;
Four Cities
(Black Lawrence Press 2015), an exploration of global spaces like Gaza, Ramallah, Haifa, Beirut, Tripoli, Baghdad, Detroit, Paris, and Brooklyn; and the Crab Orchard-winning
(Southern Illinois University Press August 2016)--the latter two of which we celebrated in our space.
Read her poems in AAWW's The Margins here
. Poet and journalist Marwa Helal is working on a project that incorporates writing, photographs and dreams to explore the failed US immigration system through human stories of immigrants who have struggled to gain citizenship. She is the author of
(No,Dear/Small Anchor Press, 2017) and
Invasive species
(Nightboat Books, 2019). Born in Al Mansurah, Egypt, she is the recipient of fellowships from Poets House, Brooklyn Poets, and Cave Canem. As Bhanu Kapil wrote, when judging Marwa the winner of Bomb's poetry contest, "Displacement, trauma, and the desire for cultural and institutional revenge happen simultaneously in these poems. Helal has given us poems that speak, obey something beyond the page, and scream. In these visceral and deeply political poems, she is dreaming a radical modernity, marking the raw bits of love, community and loss when and as they come." Read her poems "
The Middle East is Missing
" and "
Poem to be Read from Right to Left
." Hayan Charara's tragic, loving new poetry collection
Something Sinister
(Carnegie Mellon 2016) explores the conflict between the personal and political, cultural and aesthetic--from domestic violence to the war in Iraq, from losing one's parent to the rupture on language borne by the War on Terror. Praising the book's "fearless love" and "expansively tender vision," Fady Joudah lauded
Something Sinister
for the way it connected "the deeply private in American poetry" to "the immensely public at the world stage." And as one
reviewer writes of the book's opening poem, "Being Muslim"
: "The title would seem to embrace the role of speaking on behalf of a collective identity, a role that contemporary politics thrusts upon someone who is, for example, a Muslim and Arab and American in the age of the "forever wars" or the "war on terror," terms that have served to mask the racism of the violence they name. Yet having assumed the mantle of collective identity, the poem offers the personal, the intimately known." Born in Detroit to Arab immigrants, Hayan is the author of
The Sadness of Others
(Carnegie Mellon 2006), and
The Alchemist's Diary
(Hanging Loose 2001). His New Voices Award-winning children's book
The Three Lucys
(Lee & Low 2016) explores his family's experience of war in Lebanon. An NEA Fellow, he edited
Inclined to Speak
(University of Arkansas Press 2008), an anthology of contemporary Arab American poetry. Tanwi Nandini Islam is the author of
Bright Lines
(Penguin 2015), the story of the Bangladeshi Saleem family and their return to Bangladesh, where they must confront the demons of their past alongside the ones of the present. The book was a finalist for the Center for Fiction's First Novel Prize. She is the founder of Hi Wildflower Botanica and served as an Open City Fellow for the Asian American Writers' Workshop, where she wrote about a

Late Colonial
Come hear two crucial novelists who're narrating the colonial and postcolonial nation. Stay to chomp on
free Burmese food
. We're celebrating the new novel by author-actress
Charmaine Craig
: the semi-autobiographical epic,
Miss Burma
. Pulitzer Finalist Laila Lalami calls the book "a sweeping novel of Burma and its complicated history, told from the perspective of people whose voices have been systematically erased from the official record." Charmaine will talk with
Maaza Mengiste
, whose novel
Beneath the Lion's Gaze
tells the last days of Ethiopian ruler Haile Selassie and the 1970s Ethiopian Civil War. If you loved Min Jin Lee's
or Chaitali Sen's
The Pathless Sky
, don't miss this thrilling discussion of late colonial violence, mass revolt, postcolonial malaise, and the personal stories that comprise history from below.
$5 SUGGESTED DONATION | OPEN TO THE PUBLIC Charmaine Craig's
Miss Burma
(Grove Atlantic 2017) tells the story of Myanmar from British colonial rule to the assassination of Aung San and the student protests of 1962. The focal point are two characters loosely based on Craig's grandparents: Benny and Khin, a member of the persecuted Karen minority, who both go into hiding during the Japanese occupation during World War II―a journey that will have historical ramifications. The novel follows Aung San's ascension and assassination and the country's subsequent civil war, a brutal conflict through which the state viciously targeted the Karen minority.
Miss Burma
also follows Benny and Khin's eldest child, Louisa, who becomes the country's first beauty queen but must reckon with her family's past, the West's ongoing covert dealings in her country, and her own loyalty to the Karen cause. A rich, subtextually layered novel that's stylistically reminiscent of Sara Suleri's
Meatless Days
and John Berger's
Miss Burma
is―in the words of Aminatta Forna―a book that explores "how we are all actors in our histories and the histories of our nations." A professor at UC Riverside, Charmaine Craig wrote the novel
The Good Men
(Riverhead), a national bestseller translated into six languages. She previously worked as an actor in film and television. Addis Ababa-born Maaza Mengiste's debut novel
Beneath the Lion's Gaze
(Norton 2011) narrates the Ethiopian civil war through dual characters: Emperor Haile Selassie, depicted in his last days before revolution, and Hailu, a respected doctor who must protect his family from violence and is also asked by the regime to treat a tortured political prisoner. Named one of the 10 best contemporary African books by
The Guardian
, the novel led the
New York Times
to state that "Mengiste joins a group of other young Africans writing in English [like Chris Abani and Chimamanda Adichie] whose subject is the continent's postcolonial civil wars. They are unafraid of depicting the vicious violence Frantz Fanon's 'wretched of the earth' are capable of and showing how Fanon's colonially oppressed grew into master oppressors themselves." A contributor to the New Yorker and Granta and named a new literary idol by
New York
magazine, Mengiste served as a writer for the social-activist documentary film
, which features the voices of actors such as Meryl Streep, Liam Neeson, and Cate Blanchett. /\ /\ \/\/ \/\/ Photo Credit: Roy Zipstein

By Gene Phelps/NEMS Daily Journal
OMAHA, Neb. – Two former Prentiss County high school quarterbacks – Booneville's Seth Pounds and Baldwyn's Gregg Tucker – connected on game-winning passes Monday morning.
Standing in a driving rainstorm and braving 40-50 mph winds outside TA Ameritrade Park, Pounds and Tucker waited with hundreds of other diehard Mississippi State fans for an opportunity to purchase reserve seat tickets for Game 1 of the College World Series championship between the Bulldogs and UCLA.
Lottery tickets for 450 reserved tickets were given to the fans numbering 1 through 500. Lucky lottery winners could buy a maximum of four.
Pounds, an attorney in Booneville, and Tucker, a football coach at Baldwyn High School, had lottery tickets 148 and 149. A random number was then selected by the TA Ameritrade Park ticket office to begin the process.
"I've got 149," Tucker said. "If they pick 150, I go all the way to the back of the line."
Moments later, with wind and rain soaking the loyal maroon and white legions lined up around the massive downtown stadium, a ticket office official came by shouting, "Who's 148? 148 is No. 1!"
Pounds was stunned. "I heard the guy asking for 148. He said, 'It's not official, but I believe you're it.'''
Tucker, now No. 2, was all smiles after learning his good fortune. "I wish (football) play-calling was this easy," he said, then laughed.
Pounds and Tucker, like many MSU fans, made the long journey Sunday – 12 hours for Northeast Mississippians – to the corn belt for baseball.

I think Zoho Projects is an extremely powerful tool for managing projects. The wide range of useful and applicable tools it offers its users are both powerful but at the same time extremely simple to use and navigate. I believe that this web application would be useful for small businesses and project teams. Whether it can handle extremely large project teams is another issue but I think it could quite possibly do the job. Just like all the other applications Zoho offers, this tool has exceeded my expectations and I will quite happily use it in the future. This tool is a prime example of an Enterprise 2.0 tool because of the intergration of many web 2.0 features such as: status updates, RSS feeds, wikis, and so on.More about Zoho Projects

What do you like best?Ease of setup and use. Can record and report time against assigned tasked. Varying levels of access allow team leaders and project managers to moderate project and team activities as well as generate custom reports on the fly. Client and subcontractor access is a bonus. What do you dislike?Timesheet entry could be better integrated with project/task activities. Mobile App features are limited, could be improved with a couple of updates that should be relatively easy to execute.More about Project Bubble

Zohoprojects looks good at first however there are some small bugs. More importantly there are MAJOR issues once everything is set up. Unfortunately we had to leave zohoprojects for privacy reasons. Within the project management system as it is currently developed every user can see every comment and task for every other user in the project. We contacted zoho and there is no way of changing this. Our setup currently is we have employees, contractors, managers and clients. As far as zoho is concerned though all of the above make no difference as zohoprojects lets every user even the contractors see EVERY detail of every conversation and tasks between managers and clients. Eventhough there are priviledge roles to prevent users from editing other users tasks they can still view EVERYTHING. Every login or message left, every detail, task, invoice etc generated for every other user. Therefore two completely independent contractors for example could view absolutely everything that is going on with eachother. Absolutely ludicrous. This is certainly a fundamental and very basic requirement which any project manager would expect out of the box. Zohoprojects however seems not to care about it. We contacted them many times about this issue to find a workaround however there is none. We got a nice apology from India but unfortunately that is not enough. This lack of functionality can not be omitted. It is essential. All it needs is a tick box within each project titled "Tick for Assigned users to be able to view tasks and milestones only" In summary: If you are intending to use zohoprojects to manage one or more contractors and employees for your business then DON´?¢T. You could do more damage to your business through this lack of privacy functionality than good if you do. As every project user can see EVERYTHING that everyone else is doing including any login or sensitive information that is posted. There is no way of making any message or task private. Also ALL client information can be viewed by EVERY user also. Zoho does have a solution to client information being visible to all the users which is to set up one project for clients and one for workers. Surely that negates the complete purpose of the system in the first place? All I can say is "It´?¢s a shame". Unless they fix it soon they will certainly lose huge amounts of customers and revenue just the same as they have now lost ours.More about Zoho Projects

Speak Your Mind Online to the Federal Government
For two weeks in May, Fairbanksans can join the rest of the nation by speaking their minds online to the federal government about a variety of topics ranging from food stamps and social security benefits to obtaining small business grants.
The meeting is scheduled to be conducted from Monday (May 1) through Sunday (May 14) on personal computers and at "Public Access Sites" around the country on the computerized Information Highway.
Interior Alaskan residents who would like to express concerns to federal officials during this first-ever National Electronic Open Meeting, but who do not have computer access to the meeting, can do so free-of-charge at a Public Access Site within the Geophysical Institute at the University of Alaska Fairbanks.
From 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. weekdays during the two-week public comment period a visualization lab run by the UAF Arctic Region Supercomputing Center located in the Geophysical Institute will be staffed with computers and volunteers to help people unfamiliar with working on the Internet and the World Wide Web. Volunteers also will help type messages to federal officials from people unaccustomed to working on computer keyboards.
At 4 p.m. weekdays during this two-week period, hour-long presentations will be given to demonstrate how to obtain access to government data bases. The status and the exact wording of bills currently being considered in the state legislature in Juneau can be accessed through such data bases, as can information within the Federal Register and the Library of Congress.
According to a press release issued by federal officials on the Internet, the nationwide two-week public comment period has been set up to spur vigorous debate and public discussion on how the government can improve delivery of services and benefits and increase public access to federal information.
The two-week forum will be conducted over e-mail in a series of five discussion groups. Each group will be devoted to a specific topic relating to "People and their Governments in the Information Age," and will be hosted by one or more experts who will participate in an online discussion.
The open meeting will focus on five topics: services (from emergency help and health care to business licenses); benefits (from social security and food stamps to small business grants); information (from declassified secrets and travel aids to satellite weather maps); participatory democracy (ensuring everyone's chance to be heard); and technology (how the technical portion of electronic government will work).
For more information, call Kathy Berry with the Geophysical Institute at 474-7558, or Eric Muehling with the Arctic Region Supercomputing Center at 474-5149.

Here are some things going on this morning in your world of tech:
Shares of fiber optics equipment vendor Ciena (CIEN) are up $2.11, or 10%, at $22.79, after the company this morning reported fiscal Q3 revenue and earnings per share of $538 million and 23 cents, ahead of analysts' expectations, and projected revenue this quarter of $550 million to $580 million, comfortably ahead of consensus of $551 million.
Shares of Apple (AAPL) are up $9.92, or 2%, at $498.50, and had gone over $500 in early trading, following both stock action and product speculation.
On the stock front, Cantor Fitzgerald's Brian White, formerly of Topeka Capital Markets, today starts coverage of Apple with a Buy rating and a $777 price target, writing that with next Tuesday's scheduled media event at the company's headquarters in Cupertino, California, Apple is "poised for liftoff." He thinks Apple is at the start of a "major new product cycle" over the next 12 months, including a cheaper iPhone, the much-rumored television set, and the much-rumored smart watch.
Getting more attention this morning, Apple is not only holding an event in Cupertino on the 10th, but also an event a few hours later in Beijing, reports Reuters's Paul Carsten, citing an Apple media invitation to Chinese journalists. Carsten writes Apple declined to comment on the substance of the event, but it is sure to fuel speculation the company will at last be offering the iPhone for the largest carrier in the world, China Mobile (CHL).
In other Apple news, Katelyn, with the site Panjiva, writes this morning that Apple "recently took three shipments of 'set top boxes,'" citing a claimed bill of lading. The site asks whether this could be the rumored TV, or an update to the existing AppleTV, or something else entirely.
In other gadget news, Samsung Electronics (005930KS) is expected to unveil a smart watch gadget during the IFA consumer electronics show taking place this week in Berlin. Samsung has reserved a section of New York's Times Square to live stream the proceedings.
VentureBeat's Christina Farr claimed over the weekend to have gotten an early look at the product and described some of the features.
Samsung shares today rose ₩3,000 to ₩1,340,000 in Seoul trading.
Shares of Broadcom (BRCM) are up 14 cents, or 0.6%, at $25.32, after the company this morning said it would purchase wireless chip designs from Japanese chip maker Renesas Electronics for $164 million.
The designs pertain to modem chips for the high-speed Long Term Evolution, or LTE, cellular 4G standard. At the same time, Broadcom narrowed its revenue outlook for the Q3 to a range of $2.08 billion to $2.18 billion, which is lower at the bottom end than the prior view of $2.05 billion to $2.2 billion. You'll recall that the original forecast, which missed consensus when it was announced in July, caused the stock to fall 14% the next day.
Speaking of chips, the Semiconductor Industry Association late yesterday reported sales of chips rose 5.1%, year over year, in July, to total $25.53 billion. It is the highest count so far this year, the research consortium said.
Facebook (FB) shares are up 10 cents at $41.97, after R.W. Baird's Colin Sebastian raised his price target on the stock to $50 from a prior $36, writing that thee may be upside to Q3 estimates, helped by things such as greater "app installs" on mobile devices and a surge in ad activity driven by "a competitive retail season."
Shares of Nokia (NOK) continue to rack up upgrades following yesterday's announcement the company would sell its handset business to Microsoft (MSFT) for $7.2 billion. The shares are up 8 cents, or 1.6%, at $5.21, after yesterday's 30% rise, as Tavis McCourt with Raymond James raised his rating on the stock to Market Perform from Underperform.
And the buyer, Microsoft, continues to attract Street research after a raft of reviews yesterday. Nomura Equity Research's Rick Sherlund writes that activist investors ValueAct, who signed a cooperation agreement with Microsoft on Friday, days before the sale was announced, "had a pretty good idea that the Nokia deal would get done" but that "there was not much that could be done about it given less favorable recommitment terms quickly approaching in 2014″ for Microsoft.
Sherlund opines Microsoft's directors are "engaging more with shareholders" and "may become increasingly receptive" to ValueAct's suggestions.
Microsoft shares are down 63 cents, or 2%, at $31.25.
BMO Capital Markets PC analyst Keith Bachman today offers up his latest outlook on the PC industry, cutting his forecast for the biggest five original design makers of laptops in Taiwan to 3% growth in shipments this quarter from 5% expected previously, which is well below the median over five years of 6% growth.
Bachman writes that the numbers tend to support his existing thesis for a 10.8% PC shipment decline this year, and although "we though we might have some upside" at the start of the summer, "we no longer hold such a view."

Chicken Lollipops
Chicken lollipop is another popular appetizer/bar snack. Unique presentation style is very appetizing and kids love this very much. When we go to restaurants with friends and order for this item,plates are emptied as soon as it reaches our table. Such a fabulous color and taste!
- Chicken wings - 5(This will make 10 lollipops)
- 1 tbsp Red Chilly Powder
- 1 tbsp Yogurt
- 2tsp Ginger-Garlic Paste
- Salt to Taste
- Few drops of Red Food Color
- Oil for frying
- Lemon Pieces
- Aluminum foil to decorate
Remove the skin from the chicken pieces and cut it in the middle to two piece. With the help of a knife and your hands push the meat from one end of the bone to the other end so that it looks like a lollipop with all the flesh in one side and bone on the other side.
Mix the chili powder, ginger-garlic paste, salt , yogurt and food color together and apply to the chicken pieces and marinate for 20 minutes. Deep fry at 350 degree F until fully cooked and turns brown. Cool down and cover the bone side aluminum foil and serve with lemon slices.
Another version(Indo-Chinese) of this appetizer can be prepared by frying the chicken in a thin batter prepared with eggs, soy sauce and all purpose flour, corn flour. Then mix the fried chicken with chilli-garlic sauce and soy sauce

Use miniature M&Ms (green are fun) to make the irises in these monster eyes and begin with very soft butter, or the ingredients will be difficult to blend. Mound the eyeballs into a bowl for serving, or lay them out on a tray in row after unblinking row.
Leave a Review
Made them with almond butter instead - they were delicious!
These are so good! They taste just as I would have expected, as I grew up eating 'buckeyes', which are these without the candy irises. I would say it is a little too much sugar, which makes them hard to mix and a little crumbly so perhaps reducing by 1/2c. would do the trick. I also think I'll try milk chocolate next time.
The taste is amazing...but I agree with only using 2 cups of sugar. I found them very easy to make...I warmed the peanutbutter before mixing, and before rolling into balls. I stuck toothpicks in before chilling, froze the p.b. balls instead of using the fridge, and did in batches. They looked good, tasted great, and wern't too messy or time consuming.
This recipe is delicious and very simple! What I found helped was to warm/melt the peanut butter and butter before mixing, and again before rolling. It made rolling easier. I also put a toothpick in each ball before chilling, which made dipping easier. I also melted the chocolate and shortening in my fondue pot, which kept it warm the whole time I was dipping.
I made this for our office halloween party and they turned out well. I am so glad I read the reviews because you should absolutely half the sugar in the recipe. I did and I am so glad that I did. I was surprised how easy it was to dip the dough so it looked like corneas. But I agree with the reviews that you should dip in batches and keep the other balls frozen, or else you run the risk of breaking the dough apart. This makes a good, not revolting Halloween treat. Also - it's probably one of the messiest things I have ever made - so beware!!
One of the best candy recipes I've seen. They are amazingly easy to make and taste GREAT!
Way too much sugar. I highly suggest using half the called for amount. And hard to dip, i tried every way possible. Using a fork only broke the balls in two.
I made these and thought they were great tasting and easy to make. The only part I thought was pretty hard to make was the peanut butter balls because the crumbled easily. I thought the chocolate and peanut butter tasted amazing together and will definitely make them again.
Way too much sugar. As easy as it was it wasn't even close to a peanut butter bar.
I made this recipe for the halloween season. I followed the recipe as written... bad idea! I would highly suggest cutting the sugar from 4 cups to 2 cups. Also it was really hard to cover the eyes with chocolate I used a fork and some eyes fell apart or I just covered the whole eye!!!

Guess the *****es really do love the stuff. As far as human females, no compliments yet though I have heard off hand comments like "it smells like cigars" or "smells ashy," which may or may not have been me (having a pinapple heavy/smoke light batch).

Here are some things going on this morning in your world of tech:
Shares of Research in Motion (RIMM) are up 88 cents, or 12.3%, at $8.02, after the company last night beat analysts' revenue and net loss projections for its fiscal Q4, turning in sales of 7.4 million BlackBerry handsets, more than the roughly 7 million expected, and producing an increase in subscribers and in its cash balance, where both had been expected to decline.
The company said it continues to perform an analysis of its financial options for its business while working to bring its new "BB10″ operating system and related devices to market in the first calendar quarter of next year.
This morning, there are a lot of notes on RIM with the word "Still," with analysts acknowledging the better-than-expected results but finding it hard to say anything positive.
However, the stock did get one upgrade, from Scotia Capital's Gus Papageorgiou, who raised his rating on the stock to Sector Perform from Sector Underperform. Writes, Papageorgiou, "The strong cash position and increasing subscriber base improves the company's odds of a successful BB 10 launch. We also believe the value of the underlying assets can justify the share price."
"Finally, stable to improving operations may increase the odds of a take-out bid."
The week-long debacle of Apple's (AAPL) mapping functions in the new version of its iOS operating system for the iPhone has come to a new turn this morning, with Apple's CEO Tim Cook issuing a public apology to Apple customers for having "fallen short" on the company's commitment to "deliver the best experience possible to our customers."
Apple shares today are down $6.10, or almost 1%, at $675.22.
Speaking of Apple, BusinessWeek's Olga Kharif and Andy Fixmer late yesterday penned an item outlining the thoughts of one Richard Tullo, equity analyst at Albert Fried, who thinks Apple's interest in an Internet radio offering could put shares of Pandora Media (P) in play.
Pandora shares today are down 3 cents at $10.93.
On another Apple music note, The New York Post's Claire Atkinson late yesterday wrote that Apple's had wanted to have a streaming music offering in the iPhone 5, but it was scuttled when the company couldn't come to an agreement with Sony (SNE) over fees.
Shares of Micron Technology (MU) are up 15 cents, over 2%, at $6.16, after the company last night missed fiscal Q4 estimates. Analysts this morning seem inclined to focus on what's working, not what's not working. Like Raymond James's Hans Mosesmann, who reiterates a Strong Buy rating, writing that weakness in sales of DRAM memory chips masks an improving situation in Micron's NAND flash memory chips.
Morgan Stanley's Ehud Gelblum this morning raised his estimates for Cisco Systems (CSCO), writing that his proprietary quarterly survey of 93 resellers two weeks ago in the U.S. showed that improving demand for Cisco gear spilled over from June and July and August into this month. Of note, sales to U.S. Federal customers seems to have picked up.
Cisco shares are up 34 cents, or 1.8%, at $19.14.
And Brean Murray Carret & Co.'s Mike Burton this morning initiated coverage of semiconductors, giving mixed ratings to 10 names. He likes Qualcomm (QCOM), RF Micro Devices (RFMD), Skyworks Solutions (SWKS), Broadcom (BRCM), and Avago Technologies (AVGO), rating them all Buy because of their prospects in mobile devices. He's less enthusiastic about EZChip (EZCH), Marvell Technology Group (MRVL), Nvidia (NVDA), PMC Sierra (PMCS), and TriQuint Semiconductor (TQNT).

Each August it happens with the reliability of Old Faithful: More than 500,000 bikers overtake sleepy Sturgis, S.D., and other nearby towns with rumbling engines, sprawling campgrounds, raucous concerts and audacious stunts.
Visible everywhere are tricked-out motorcycles, ornate tattoos, overflowing biker bars and topless women wearing pretty much nothing but body paint from the waist up. But these days, if you look carefully enough, you'll spot other burgeoning staples of the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally: hand and shoulder massages to help relax stiff joints; cushy RVs equipped with comfortable beds; biker goggles outfitted with bifocals.
The Sturgis rally is in its 72nd year — and that's about the same age as some of its most devoted attendees. Unlike other massive outdoor festivals that appeal mainly to the 25-and-under crowd, Sturgis continually draws an array of colorful regulars who are in their 70s and 80s and haven't seemed to notice.
More in Good News!
Take Ernest "Zip" Lanicek, who's about to turn 74. He's been riding his Harley to Sturgis from his Texas home for two decades now. In fact, he can tell you the precise distance to the rally from his driveway in Dallas: 1,131 miles.
Lanicek can't stand the thought of missing out on tent-camping at the rally, meeting other bikers and taking in multiple wet T-shirt contests — so he keeps making a vacation out of it, year after year.Video: Motorcycle fans ride into Sturgis for annual rally (on this page)
"People always ask me when I'm gonna retire and I always say, 'When they throw dirt in my face,'" said Lanicek, who installs commercial restaurant equipment for a living. "How many people do you know who hit retirement age, hang it up, and they're dead in three or four years? You've gotta keep active. You've just gotta keep active."
Dr. Jeffrey Levine, a geriatric specialist based in New York, views Lanicek as emblematic of a new generation of septuagenarians: People who simply are not slowing down. In most cases, Levine said, these 70-somethings have a lust for life and a clear notion of what they love to do.Story: Accomplishing amazing athletic feats — in their 80s and 90s
"They enjoy life," Levine said. "There's a lot of negativity and darkness associated with the stereotype of old age. And of course, yes, there is pain, and yes, there is loss, but there also is energy and vitality. And fun."
In addition to practicing medicine, Levine travels the world photographing and blogging about older people who are aging well. Last year his journeys led him to Sturgis.
"There are a lot of people in their 70s at Sturgis," said Levine, 58, who noted that the number of aging motorcyclists is growing across the United States. "You'll see people with all these Sturgis patches on their jackets from past years. These are regulars.
"And you know what? Hope, passion and something to look forward to — including next year's Sturgis — is something that keeps people alive."Story: Why retire? Mailman, 91, logs 70 years of service
Sturgis ain't cheap
Daniel Ainslie, city manager for the city of Sturgis, said another factor makes the motorcycle rally popular with middle-aged and retirement-age people: Money. It turns out that the Black Hills of South Dakota are a downright expensive place to be in August.
Houses in and around Sturgis can rent for $5,000 a week or more, and hotel rooms are astronomical. The costs of fuel — and sweet motorcycles — tend to be steep for Sturgis-goers, and even camping spaces, concert tickets and restaurant meals are spendy.
"Given the economy, there just are not a lot of 25-year-olds who have that kind of disposable income," Ainslie said, adding that Sturgis is growing in popularity among Motocross enthusiasts in their early 20s.
"There are more motocross and dirt-biking events for them than ever before ... and I honestly believe that three to five years from now, that demographic will be stronger," Ainslie said. "But I'll bet people in their 20s and 30s will still be struggling because of cost."
So perhaps it stands to reason that Sturgis' little comforts will keep increasing as the rally keeps welcoming visitors who are established enough and affluent enough to make the trip and stay a while. In fact, it's common to encounter people in their 50s, 60s, 70s and beyond who are recuperating from heart surgeries, knee replacements, motorcycle accidents and more, but who just couldn't stay away from the rally. They make a huge effort to go while taking pains to remain as comfortable as they can.
Camping in comfort in the Black Hills
Just ask Jerry North, 72, of Clayton, Calif. North has been making the trek to Sturgis most years since 1958. He and his wife, Norma North, 70, love to ride their Harleys together through the stunning Black Hills of South Dakota and on into Wyoming — so they've devised a plan to ensure that will happen.
For the past 12 years or so, the Norths have driven a comfortable motorhome to Sturgis while trailering their motorcycles behind them. This provides them with comfortable sleeping quarters for their whole journey.
"If we didn't do it that way, at 72, I'd be too tired to ride anywhere once we got there," Jerry North said with a laugh.
"When I was younger, the lure of Sturgis for me probably would have been the party. But now, the lure is the beautiful scenery. It's just a beautiful area to ride your bike. ... This year we rode 2,300 miles together."Story: On 100th birthday, he married the woman of his dreams
North underwent heart bypass surgery 18 years ago and he's been doing fine since then. He said he's grateful that he and his wife of nearly 50 years are both in good health.
"You know, age is your body, mostly," North said. "In your mind, I'm not sure you age much. I like doing the same things that I liked to do when I was a teenager.
"One of my goals was to keep going to Sturgis 'til I was 70. Now my goal is 75. And if I make that, my goal will be 80."

Interesting scenario....here's the link fopr the full article.
A few excerpts:
The mandate's real justifications are far more cynical and political. Making healthy young adults pay billions of dollars in premiums into the national health-care market is the only way to fund universal coverage without raising substantial new taxes. In effect, this mandate would be one more giant, cross-generational subsidyimposed on generations who are already stuck with the bill for the federal government's prior spending sprees.
The elephant in the room is the Constitution. As every civics class once taught, the federal government is a government of limited, enumerated powers, with the states retaining broad regulatory authority.
Congress, in other words, cannot regulate simply because it sees a problem to be fixed. Federal law must be grounded in one of the specific grants of authority found in the Constitution.
These are mostly found in Article I, Section 8, which among other things gives Congress the power to tax, borrow and spend money, raise and support armies, declare war, establish post offices and regulate commerce. It is the authority to regulate foreign and interstate commerce thatin one way or anothersupports most of the elaborate federal regulatory system.
The Supreme Court construes the commerce power broadly. In the most recent Commerce Clause case, Gonzales v. Raich (2005) , the court ruled that Congress can even regulate the cultivation of marijuana for personal use so long as there is a rational basis to believe that such "activities, taken in the aggregate, substantially affect interstate commerce."
But there are important limits. In United States v. Lopez (1995), for example, the Court invalidated the Gun Free School Zones Act because that law made it a crime simply to possess a gun near a school. It did not "regulate any economic activity and did not contain any requirement that the possession of a gun have any connection to past interstate activity or a predictable impact on future commercial activity." Of course, a health-care mandate would not regulate any "activity," such as employment or growing pot in the bathroom, at all. Simply being an American would trigger it.
have framed the mandate as a "tax" rather than a regulation. Under Sen. Max Baucus's (D., Mont.) most recent plan, people who do not maintain health insurance for themselves and their families would be forced to pay an "excise tax" of up to $1,500 per yearroughly comparable to the cost of insurance coverage under the new plan.
But Congress cannot so simply avoid the constitutional limits on its power. Taxation can favor one industry or course of action over another, but a "tax" that falls exclusively on anyone who is uninsured is a penalty beyond Congress's authority.
However, a tax that is so clearly a penalty for failing to comply with requirements otherwise beyond Congress's constitutional power will present the question whether there are any limits on Congress's power to regulate individual Americans. The Supreme Court has never accepted such a proposition, and it is unlikely to accept it now, even in an area as important as health care.

Following some negative notes today about BlackBerry (BBRY) in the wake of Microsoft's (MSFT) announcement this morning it will purchase the handset business of Nokia (NOK), Bloomberg's Matthew Campbell and Aaron Kirchfeld this evening write that Microsoft is "keeping an eye on BlackBerry," despite the $7.2 billion Nokia deal, citing multiple unnamed sources.
The reference comes in a single line at the end of a long piece describing how Microsoft and Nokia began talks in February about a deal, after recognizing that their "two-year-old collaboration on smartphone development wasn't working."
The authors write that "the Canadian manufacturer has said it's seeking a buyer, and its strong presence in the enterprise market could still attract interest from Microsoft," again, citing unnamed sources who presumably are familiar with Microsoft's thinking.
BlackBerry shares today rose 9 cents, or 0.9%, to $10.21, even though some Street observers suggested the Nokia handset buy would reduce BlackBerry's chances as a viable alternative to Apple (AAPL) and Google (GOOG), and even though such a bid might seem to reduce take-out prospects for BlackBerry on the part of Microsoft.
The stock is up 5 cents, or half a percent, at $10.26, in late trading.

Anyway, I went to the park and took pictures with Abigail. I heart you, Jew. (That's her nickname. I'm an asshole, I still have better sunglasses than you though, so nyaah~)
Yes, I wear glasses. And apparently, I have no upper lip. o_o
So this is a random list of what's on my Etsy Watch List. I absolutely am in love with every piece, no lie. If you'd like their contact info, just comment asking about which piece and I'll link you directly to the lot--I just haven't got time now! For the most part, everything is under $22, not bad at all. I might buy the dog necklace over the weekend, if I don't go vintage shopping...fat chance, though.
I look like a ghost.....
So do you like this setting? I'm trying to switch it up. Finals are in two weeks, so it'll be random for awhile but I'd like to appreciate what free time I can, haha.
Long time coming, but six random facts so I can get it out of the way:
- I swim competitively. My coach is Russian and has a lazy eye and reminds me of an Angry oompaloompa. In a totally awesome, if-you-don't-swim-1000 mtr in 20 min-I'll-beat-you-way.
- I have a (quite obvious) obsession with childhood objects. I never went through it as a kid so I'm going through it now...
- I'm half taiwanese, the other half is a mix of irish-italian. Made in Taiwan, yessir.
- I used to run a Harry Potter roleplay forum. I am an epic nerd.
- I like to jump on my bed to Enter Shikari and the Backstreet Boys.
- I pretty much live on yogurt, hot tea, and french fries. That's my diet.

Well as long as it doesn't get to ya too much.
It wouldn't be the 1st time I've mistaken a man for a woman.
When I worked the Maplewood Mall on the slow days we would stand at the front of the store and watch the women go by, and on more than one occasion one of us would point out these tall, long blond haired women with tight jeans, and from the back it looked pretty good, till the DUDE turned around!!! Damb those 80's rockers...but we got a good laugh outta it.
My friends one night at a bar, brought this attractive brunette over to me while I was playing darts. And this brunette has about 5 other women with her. Well I found it odd that my friends would give this one to me, since normally they try to steal them away or keep the good looking ones for themselves.
To make a long story short I was skeptical, and good thing...it was a professional cross dresser who just finished a job.
So its all in good fun, and if ya can't get a laugh outta it, what good it is. My motto is, "If I can't be the sexy one, might as well be the funny one."

TUPELO – Riding the tide of strong automobile sales nationwide, auto dealers in Northeast Mississippi also saw a strong 2012.
U.S. sales last year rose 13 percent over 2011, the best showing in five years. Car and light truck sales in the U.S. rose nearly 10 percent in December, according to a Bloomberg survey of analysts. That capped a third-straight annual gain of at least 10 percent, the first such industry streak since 1973.
And according to one auto data group, vehicle sales in Northeast Mississippi last year increased about 20 percent.
Among those seeing a nice bump in business was Dwayne Blackmon's namesake Chevrolet dealership in Tupelo. Chevy, General Motors' best-selling brand, saw total volume rise 4.3 percent across the country, making it GM's biggest sales gainer in 2012.
"Last year was better than 2011, and we look forward to 2013," Blackmon said.
While the Sonic compact, Malibu mid-size sedan and Equinox crossover were big sellers for Chevy, Blackmon said the Silverado pickup truck was also a top-seller.
"Trucks always sell well," he said. "but the Cruze, Malibu and Equinox were big sellers, too," he said.
Total U.S. auto sales for 2012 were 14.5 million, the industry's best showing since 2007. During the peak of the Great Recession in 2009, sales dropped to 10.4 million, a 30-year low.
"We've turned that corner," said Rudy Dossett III of Dossett Big 4 in Tupelo. Dossett's dealership carries Buick, Cadillac, GMC and Honda.
Dossett said the Honda's Accord, CR-V and Odyssey were top-sellers, while crossover vehicles like the Buick Enclave, Cadillac SRX and GMC Acadia did well.
But Dossett also said the new-car sales segment has been very competitive, with customers scouring every deal.
"There are so many new dealers out there in the market, they'll go shop for another deal for $400 or $500," he said.
Chrysler saw the biggest percentage increase of the Detroit Three automakers. The company's sales rose 21 percent last year, led by sales of the Jeep Grand Cherokee, Ram pickup and Chrysler 300 sedan.
Hoyt Sheffield, whose Tupelo Auto Sales dealership carries the full Chrysler lineup, said 2012 was much like a roller coaster.
"We had some months that were among the best we've had in a long time, but we had some months that were slower than usual," he said. "But overall, it was a good year for us."
Auto industry analysts are expecting sales this year to reach more than 15 million. That's still short of the pre-recession peak of 17 million reached eight years ago, but definitely at a level the industry can live with.
Larry Brymer, the general manager of Carlock Toyota in Tupelo, said the dealership also benefited from Toyota's overall rebound nationwide. Toyota also is expected to retake the crown as the world's top-selling automaker.
The Japanese automaker, which produces the Corolla compact in nearby Blue Springs, saw its sales 27 percent for 2012.
"Toyota is up, and we're up," Brymer said.
It was the same story at Larry Clark Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac in Amory, where sales manager Barrett Clark said used cars in particular sold well.
"We had a really good year overall, with used cars way up and new vehicles doing well, too," he said.
Clark said truck sales have been the bread-and-butter of the business and 2012 was no different.
"We also sold a couple Volts," he said, referring to Chevy's all-electric car.
Joe Marshall's Barnes Crossing Hyundai-Mazda dealership in Tupelo continued to see strong demand last year as well. Hyundai, which has been one of the hottest brands in the industry of late. Last year was the Korean automaker's best year in the U.S.
But Marshall said almost all automobile brands have seen steady increases in recent years.
Marshall said overall sales in Northeast Mississippi have grown 25 percent to 30 percent since 2010, when he bought the dealership.
"I think pretty much everyone has benefitted," he said.

In this presentation Dr. Imhof will explain the measurement and economics of the federal budget deficit: historical context, current levels and future projections (and components of those projections – including what makes the projections economically unsustainable). Specifically, she will discuss short-term and long-term pressures on fiscal policy as well as the structural imbalances associated with the funding and benefit formulas for major entitlement programs. She will clarify what deficit reduction options are essential for a strong economy and policy changes that have the potential to encourage bipartisan political support (e.g., comprehensive tax reform and strategic investment planning) and improve the long-term fiscal outlook of the nation. Finally, she will conclude with a conversation about steps participants can take to be engaged towards a better fiscal future.
Our chart talk features a Power Point presentation that details the nature of our nation's fiscal challenge using specific numbers and data based on the latest budgetary projections. The chart talk provides a clear overview of the issue, allowing subsequent questions and answers to focus more on details and potential solutions. Access our standard chart talk.

United States from 1919
To the ladies Carter's Ink Company advertisement for 'ensemble' range of colour pens and inks for women
image 29.2 (h) x 22.2 (w) cm
As the Great Depression took hold in the early thirties, companies explored ways of expanding their product lines. In a bid to attract more buyers and increase turnover, they introduced a new range each season and made each piece in a range of colours. Promoting the new year's style through high-quality advertising in the widely-read picture magazines became crucial for success. Bruehl won an Art Directors Club gold medal in 1933 for this advertisement for Carter's Ink Company. If the companies needed the space in the pages of magazines to promote their wares, the magazines in turn needed the advertising revenue to survive. Improvement in the quality of colour reproduction was needed to show off the new products at their best and the magazine hierarchy and advertising firms were happy to pay highly for perfectionists like Bruehl.

In this experiment, students replicate a version of the 1800 experiment in which a form of radiation other than visible light was discovered by the famous astronomer Sir Frederick William Herschel. Students use glass prisms, thermometers, and sunlight to detect the increase in temperature beyond the red end of the visible spectrum, thus detecting infrared light. This activity is available on the back of the Electromagnetic Spectrum Poster which is a collaborative product of Astrophysics missions and staff comprising the Astrophysics SEPOF. The Astrophysics SEPOF is headquartered at the Space Telescope Science Institute, operated for NASA by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy (AURA).

Bird Watching
by Susan Gateley
Related Articles
Feeding the Birds: A Family Project
Making Feathered Friends
As hobbies go, bird watching is about as inexpensive as they get. You can bird watch almost anywhere there are birds and about the only really essential piece of equipment is a field guide to identify the little critters, and you can buy that used (check www.abebooks.com for titles). A good pair of binoculars helps, but you can get started without them. Bird watching can be done alone or with friends or with your kids. Some people join organized outings and compete to find the most different birds in a set period. Others prefer to wander alone, perhaps observing the behavior of a single sparrow for a long time.
Once you get your guidebook, you can take it in hand and head out into the back yard. But depending on where you reside, this may be a bit frustrating. Crows, starlings, pigeons, maybe a sassy blue jay or a flock of sparrows simply aren't real thrilling visually, nor are their songs very inspirational. So you may need to venture a bit further afield. One way to find out where the birds are is to connect with a group outing.
Many nature centers, city parks, and birding groups organize weekend walks. They maybe listed in the Sunday "things to do" section of the newspaper. An advantage of tagging along with the birding herd a few times is that these folks know when and where to find the interesting birds. They can also tell you the best season to spot spectacular birds or a rare oddity. You'll also pick up a lot of good hints on how to identify those quick moving little bundles of energy, such as clues from behavior, how the bird flies, where and how it feeds, and other actions, as well as learning to identify its calls
People generally associate bird watching with nice weather and certainly spring in the northern parts of the country during the migration season is a good time. Many birds are then dressed in their bright breeding plumage and are also actively singing to establish their territories. But some of those quick elusive spring warblers, orioles, tanagers, and buntings can be challenging to identify as they dart among the tree branches. For people living near large bodies of water, winter can also be a good time of year to go bird watching. Many species of water fowl gather to feed in open water in the fall and winter. As lakes and bays freeze, they move south along the coasts. Ducks are fairly large, often distinctly colored and frequently sit still for a long time, so they are a bit less challenging to identify than some of the quick moving song birds. And sometimes winter time concentrations of waterfowl can be impressive.
As you become more adept at identifying the birds in your immediate neighborhood, you may want to travel to birding "hot spots." You can find them in every state and province, so chances are you won't have to spend too much money to go on an expedition if you don't want to. And bird watching can add a great deal of interest to any trip. Many local bird clubs have websites, so check the Internet for more local information.

The plane arrived in Australia really early this morning (6 am their time). I really couldn't decide how I felt, jet lag wise. The people in Australia were super friendly and helpful. They guided us from the gate, around the airport, through customs and baggage claim, and then handed us off to a Princess representative. It was a super smooth and really simple.
The guy from Princess was also really nice. He took us to a coffee shop in the airport to sit while he waited for more people to arrive. I got a gluten free cookie that was so good (seriously, this thing was magical). Eventually, the princess guy came back and took us to the shuttle bus. It was about a half an hour drive from the airport to where the ship was docked. The ride was really cool though because we went right through downtown Sydney and the driver was giving us a tour the entire time and sharing interesting facts and answering questions. It was actually a lot of fun.
Sydney is very interesting. At first when we were driving out of the airport, I didn't really think it was really anything different than florida, but as we started going further downtown it got really cool. First of all, it was super busy. It was a Monday morning and the streets were packed with people (everyone from students to businessmen). I was really surprised how busy it was. And then the buildings got more city-like with large skyscrapers. The landscape is really hilly, which made for some really interesting city layouts too. And there were tons of trees. A lot of time we were driving through the heavily populated city areas and there would be a canopy of trees above the street, which was really cool. One of my favorite things though was the open layout that almost all the stores had. Instead of a storefront wall, it was simply open for people to walk into right from the sidewalk. I'd never seen that before. The city was also very clean, which was nice.
All in all, it seemed like a really nice city to live in. Once we got to the dock, at around 9 o'clock, we had to wait until 12 to board the plane. This entailed nothing more than sitting down for three straight hours. Luckily we were shaded under this a large tree that covered several benches by the water. It wasn't too hot either and there was a comfortable breeze. The time eventually passed and we got to board the ship.
After checking into our rooms, we headed right for the food (I hadn't eaten anything since 4 am!). The food was so delicious. It was just the general buffet but everything was so tasty. We got window seats that overlooked the Opera House. It had been a pretty tiring and stressful journey unto that point, but looking out at the view made it all worth it. It was just amazing. I wanted to stare at it all evening. I was also glad when I realized that the buffet was just the lunch and there was another meal coming later.
We watched as we sailed away from Sidney. It was dark by that point and the whole city was lit up. I was actually kind of sad to go. Even though I'd only been there a couple of hours, I really enjoyed it and wished I had more time to explore.

Sonic Reducer
By Marisa Demarco
Minmae 835 (Greyday Records)
What does "indie rock" even mean anymore? Minmae, kind of a rock-starless anti-band, is what I wish it meant. 835 gives you your simmering tempos under no virtuosity and that peculiar male indie rock/folk voice. But Minmae, which is mostly Sean Brooks, takes it further with delicate, wilting arrangements and surprising instruments. Brooks is not a guy who's afraid to let his pop sensibility deflate and crumple into a noisy heap, though I hear this is actually his most accessible work to date. Why is it that the guys who aren't necessarily trying to make pop are often the best at it?
RJD2 The Third Hand (Xl Recordings)
I'm all for new directions. RJD2 ditched the samplers (and Def Jux) in favor of live instruments and his own candy-sweet voice. This disc will undoubtedly introduce him to a whole new market, the one consuming easygoing, inoffensive musicstuffs. Sadly, the whole thing comes across as a bit boring for a longtime fan used to D2's lighter-fluid beats, combustive on their own or good for heating up any MC. (Although excellent moments do surface; cause for an adventurous listener to jerk out of their drowsy catnap.) There's little refuting RJD2's skills with effects and assembly, but all that is negated by the overarching banality of The Third Hand .
Olav Larsen & The Alabama Rodeo Stars Love's Come to Town (The Music Force)
There are many things I don't know about Norway. For instance, I was totally, foolishly unaware that Norway was the kind of place likely to export America's "three chords and the truth" country music. But that's what Olav's all about. They say it's alt.country, but let's go ahead and lose the "alt." this time. Larsen's kicking out straight country, with all manner of clichéd lyrics (i.e. the truth) and just the barest hint of a seriously non-Southern accent. Best line: "I've always been a reasonable boy, with reliable thoughts and thoughtful ideas." Good on you, Olav. And howdy. Olav Larsen & The Alabama Rodeo Stars

Enjoy dinner tonight this French classic - beans, tomatoes and turkey cassoulet – slow cooked for a delicious meal.
Cassoulet is a classic French recipe featuring white beans and a variety of meats, poultry and sausage. Our version calls only for turkey, but sliced smoked sausage can be added to the recipe.
The tomatoes and salt are added at the end of the cooking time because the acid in the tomatoes and the sodium in the salt can prevent the beans from cooking completely.
Serve this hearty bean and turkey stew with focaccia and a green salad dressed with red wine vinaigrette.

Nelson™ X-Leg Table with Laminate Top
Herman Miller
Before it was Herman Miller, it was Michigan Star Furniture Company and D.J. De Pree had been working there for 4 years as a clerk, after its opening in 1905. In an effort to aid his son-in-law to buy the company, West Michigan businessman, Herman Miller bought Michigan Star Furniture Company in 1923. Subsequently, the company was renamed Herman Miller and within due time the Herman Miller brand name became synonymous with "modern" furniture as the company grew and employed well known designers such as: George Nelson and Charles and Ray Eames; under who the company would produce pieces that would become some of the world's most iconic and well known designs.
Since the company's re-branding, collaborations with designers like Isamu Noguchi, Alexander Girard, Robert Propst, Bill Stumpf, Don Chadwick, Ayse Birsel, Studio 7.5, Yves Behar, Doug Ball, and etc have aided with the company's growth; turning Herman Miller into one of the most influential brands in today's design market. Herman Miller furniture is well recognized around the world for elevating the design of any commercial or residential setting. As a leading brand that boasts modern and mid-century modern designs, Herman Miller has effectively put itself on the map as a key and notable brand that continues to stay at the forefront of producing great designs that will not only maintain relevance but quality as well. From pioneering ergonomic office furniture to stewarding environmental leadership in business strategy and manufacturing processes, Herman Miller's commitment to quality and the world around us continues to be a factor in driving their design solutions for the modern home and workspace. And with proven, all-around reputable pieces, it is without a doubt that any authentic Herman Miller furniture will guarantee lasting excellence throughout the decades to come.
When writing about the course of his remarkable 50-year career, George Nelson described a series of creative "zaps" moments of out-of-the-blue inspiration "when the solitary individual finds he is connected with a reality he never dreamed of."
An early zap came in the 1930s, when he was an architectural student in Rome. Before returning home, an idea struck him: He would travel Europe and interview leading modern architects, hoping to get the articles published in the U.S. He succeeded, and in the process introduced the U.S. design community to the European avant-garde. This set in motion a sequence of what he called "lucky" career breaks that were really the inevitable outcomes of his brilliance as a designer, teacher, and author.
The first break was being named an editor of Architectural Forum magazine. Working on a story there in 1942, he was looking at aerial photos of blighted cities when--zap!--he developed the concept of the downtown pedestrian mall, which was unveiled in the Saturday Evening Post.
Soon after, another zap led to the Storagewall, the first modular storage system and a forerunner of systems furniture. The Storagewall was showcased in a 1945 Life magazine article, causing a sensation in the furniture industry. Herman Miller founder D.J. DePree saw the article and was so impressed that he paid a visit to Nelson in New York and convinced him to be his director of design, which spurred Nelson to found his design firm, George Nelson & Associates. The warm personal and professional relationship between Nelson and DePree yielded a stunning range of products, from the playful Marshmallow Sofa to the first L-shaped desk, a precursor of today's workstation.
Nelson once wrote that Herman Miller "is not playing follow-the-leader." That's one reason why George Nelson & Associates worked with Herman Miller for over 25 years as they shepherded design into the modern era.
During this same period, George Nelson & Associates also created many landmark designs of products, showrooms, and exhibitions for a variety of companies and organizations.
Nelson said that for a designer to deal creatively with human needs, "he must first make a radical, conscious break with all values he identifies as antihuman." Designers also must constantly be aware of the consequences of their actions on people and society. In fact, he declared that "total design is nothing more or less than a process of relating everything to everything." So he said that rather than specializing, designers must cultivate a broad base of knowledge and understanding.

Nelson did so as few are able, and, with the help of well-timed zaps, he helped define modern, humane design.

Dustin and Jacob, was that LSU's flat game last night? They just did not look very good on offense at all against a defense that has not been real good, and that's being charitable. I was surprised that they didn't line up and run at them a good bit more than they did.
"All those things bother me: The populism, the lying and the scapegoating and the xenophobia bother me, but then theres a layer of incompetence here. I suppose, in a way, we should be thankful: If he had a coherent ideology, hed probably be more dangerous." P J O'Rourke
LSU will get taken apart by Bama and by UF. The beatdown they got in MNC game last season will be nothing compared to what the Tide will do to them this year.

This year and probably the next 3-4, yes, they're in for a beating. I do think that being in the SEC will attract a slightly higher level of new talent though, so in the next 5+ years, I see Missouri becoming a real contender. As a student here, I have to say being in a bigger pond is a lot of fun when it comes to tailgating!

"Sometimes you eats the bear, and sometimes the bear eats you." Daniel Boone, Davie Crockett, or a stranger at the bar?
Last year LSU's first SEC opponent was AWAY @ Miss St. and they came out of there 19-6. LSU went on to play for the SHIP.
So hopefully that is the flat game. Who knows man, lots of Freshman on the team(lots!), NONE of which has ever played in a SEC Hostile Environment. It can be a lot to soak in, most people have no clue what kind of pressure that is.
Florida will be the make or break game IMO. Florida sits at home for the next two weeks waiting on LSU to arrive.
If LSU can beat Florida @ home off their bye week, I think that will say a lot about where this team will go for the rest of the season, if any where at all.

Don't throw away those bananas that are turning brown and soft. They're perfect for making these muffins moist with lots of banana flavor.
Gold Medal® White Whole Wheat flour can be used in any recipe. It's the best of both worlds—100% whole grain but with a lighter taste and color. Start substituting 25% or 50% of the all-purpose flour with Gold Medal® White Whole Wheat flour, gradually increasing proportion as desired.

Following our terrible start to the 2011/12 Premier League season, Arsène Wenger will be left in no doubt that he must sign some world-class players in January or face the wrath of the many fans who are planning to protest at next weekend's game vs Sunderland.
With a number of top European clubs (including Liverpool, Manchester United, AC Milan and Bayern Munich) monitoring German international Mario Götze, Wenger looks set to put his money where his mouth is by offering a cash + player exchange deal for the Borussia Dortmund midfielder.
Götze is rated at somewhere in the £25-30 million mark, and Wenger will apparently attempt to fight-off interest from the other clubs with an offer of £20 million plus Maroune Chamakh in January. Chamakh has failed to maintain a place in Arsenal's starting XI following his free transfer to the club in summer 2010, and Wenger will no doubt be looking to offload any deadweight when the transfer window re-opens in a few months time.
At just 19 years old, Götze is exactly the type of player that Wenger always looks for; Arsenal reportedly made a late bid for the attacking midfielder in the summer, but failed to meet Dortmund's valuation. He would fit straight into the Arsenal as the perfect partner for Mikel Arteta (who prefers to sit slightly deeper).
This deal (if it does happen as reported) would represent the perfect opportunity for both players. Chamakh could finally get some consistant first-team football in the Bundesliga, and Götze can ply his trade for Arsenal in what I think is that most physically demanding and interesting league in the world.
Likeliness rating: 2/5 I can see Wenger making a bid, but I reckon that if he does move in January Götze will choose a club that will definitely be playing in the Champions League next season.

Yesterday we left off at this point. And I told you I was going to show you how I made this hair do (very) different. And hold up to our fine (type) hair. Anyone can use this. It doesn't have to be fine hair. I think the only thing it must be is long hair.
And right now it isn't all that pretty--- kind of... BLAH. If you can't wait throw a bow in and it will relax into the style.
