New development officer embraces challenge
January 30, 2013
"Challenge" is a key word for Matt Cunningham, Wayne State University Law School's new leadership annual gifts officer. He started the job Jan. 2.
For the past three years, he worked as development director for WSU's Office of Athletics, and had a lot of success in that role. But a new development position at the Law School piqued his interest, Cunningham said. And he likes to keep challenging himself.
In keeping with that philosophy, he started attending Wayne Law's evening program in the fall of 2011. So working full-time as a development officer for the Law School is "just a natural fit" with his ultimate education and career goals, he said.
He'll be interacting a lot with alumni through his new job, and as a law student, that's exactly what he wants to do, he said.
"I really do look forward to hearing their stories," Cunningham said. "I've been surprised just reading about some of our alums and what they've done. We have a great network of alums to look up to. They are true role models. And, of course, we need their help. We need them to continue to be great role models that our students can look up to and receive support from."
He'd like to bring more Law School alumni into closer connection with the students and the campus, he said.
"It's a great resource to have many of our alumni remain in the metro Detroit area," Cunningham said. "It can be intimidating to be a student when you hear about the lack of jobs and the burdensome debt that comes with choosing to be a law student. But when you look at the success that our alums have gone on to, both in and out of law firms, it gives students inspiration to push on and blaze their own trails."
In his new job, he'll be focused on projects such as annual scholarships and the Law Firm Challenge, a friendly, fundraising competition among law firms.
Cunningham himself is a natural competitor. He became a four-year starter after walking onto the baseball team at Wayne State as an undergraduate, and was named captain in 2007 and 2008. He earned his bachelor's degree in public relations in 2007, and his master's degree in sports administration in 2009. Then he worked as an intern in administration and player development for the Detroit Lions, and in 2010 he became development director for Athletics, where he routinely exceeded fundraising goals.
Now he's bringing his competitive edge to Wayne Law, both as a student and a development officer — and also to the golf course whenever he can find time.
"I went from Gregory, Mich., and moved to downtown Detroit," Cunningham said. "Big change. I started golfing to get out in nature some more. I'm not great, but I really enjoy it. It's just another challenge."

IDT recommends PAGE purification for long unmodified oligos and oligos used in cloning, gel shift, and mutagenesis protocols. Due to their hydrophobicity, most oligos with modifications are better separated by HPLC. Therefore, IDT requires HPLC purification of oligos with specific modifications. HPLC routinely provides 85% purity, while PAGE provides 90% purity. The final yield of a PAGE purified oligo, however, will be less than an HPLC purified oligo.

Introducing: Nika + Rory
This ain't so new to me, but after catching Zola Jesus on Saturday at Glasslands, I went into obsession mode and dug up these treasures from late last year and it's high time we all give 'em a little love. See, ZJ is one part Nika Roza Danilova, which in turn, is the former half of Nika + Rory, the latter comprised of Rory Kane. It's time to get weird and wild with the Madison, WI duo. You in? Cool.
You can call it darkpop, gothwave or even subculture jamming, but pay no mind to labeled genres if you want the full N+R experience. With their debut double single, I'm Not Going Anywhere and LA Suxxx, having officially just been released on June 15, Danilova and Kane combine to gloss up the tones you may associate, and rightfully so, with Zola Jesus.
Nonchalant vocal acrobatics take center stage as the dark and plodding arrangements weave in and around the listeners. Certain qualities float from one project to the next: the echoed vocals, the deep beats and spine-tingling synth lines. Where Zola goes for the mysterious, N+R aren't afraid to make it a little poppier.
Case in point...their song, Do You Wanna Be, sounds like a stealth interpolation of Lisa Stansfield's Never Gonna Give You Up. Don't believe me? That track is below, and then listen to ol' Stansy's cut here, and tell me you aren't immediately in love.

(Pl. IV).
Syn. Pasiphaë glacialis, Buchholz, Die zweite Deutsche Polarfahrt. Zool. Pag. 279, Pl 1, fig. 2.
Hymenodora glacialis, G. O. Sars, Prodromus descriptionis Crustaceorum et Pycnogonidarum etc., No. 24.
Specific Character. — Carapax uniformly arcuate, with the dorsal carina, along the anterior part, bearing from 4 to 6 small teeth. Rostrum exceedingly short with the extremity pointed and the lower margin unarmed. Eyes almost conical with the point rounded off, and furnished with an opaque white pigment. Peduncle of 1st pair of antennæ short, cylindric, with the basal joint largest; outer flagellum longer and more powerful than inner; scale of 2nd pair of antennæ one-third longer than peduncle of 1st pair, broadest in the middle, with the outer margin smooth and terminating anteriorly in a dentiform projection; flagellum more than twice the length of the whole body. The 2 foremost pairs of legs precisely similar, alike in size and structure, with the chelæ but slightly incrassated and the dactyli shorter than the palm. Terminal joint on the 2 succeeding pairs elongate and tapering, on the last pair linear, and densely clothed with hair. Telson somewhat dilated at the point, which is armed with 7 spines, the 5 median of one length, but the 2 outer ones more than 3 times as long, and strongly diverging. Colour a deep blood-red. Length reaching 83mm.
Locality. — Stats. 33, 34, 35, 40, 52, 54, 137, 183, 205, 295, 297, 303, 343, 362.
Remarks. — This interesting and very peculiar form was first met with on the Second German North Pole Expedition, one specimen only having however been secured, which, in the aforecited work, Buchholz has recognizably described and figured. The said example having had to be handled with the greatest possible care, to admit of reserving it as a type-specimen, Buchholz could not of course undertake a comprehensive anatomical examination: and hence he failed to learn aught concerning the structure of the oral appendages, in which the generic difference between this form and Pasiphaë is most salient and conspicuous.
Description. — Form of body, contrary to what is observed in Pasiphaë (see figs. 1, 2), rather clumsy and almost round, not compressed from the sides as in that genus. The anterior division of the body measuring about one-third of the total length, and the posterior division tapering rapidly and uniformly backward.
All the integuments are remarkably thin and flexible, nay almost membranaceous; and hence the animal will rarely retain its form unchanged unless handled with the greatest care.
The carapax is comparatively large, covering the whole of the anterior division of the body. It is uniformly arched, with the height and breadth about equal, and the length well-nigh twice as great. Faintly marked lines indicate divers regions on the surface. That occupying the anterior part, viz. the gastric region, is most distinctly marked, and somewhat prominent, as also cut off by a sharply defined line from 2 smaller lateral areas — the hepatic regions. Along the middle, it is furnished with a distinct keel, which, on its anterior part, has from 4 to 6 small, anteriorly directed teeth. In front, this keel protends as an exceedingly short, compressed, and, at the extremity, acutely produced rostrum, of which the lower, somewhat arched, margin is perfectly smooth.
The anterior margins of the carapax exhibit under the rostrum a small incision for the eyes, bounded without and below by a triangular lobule (infraorbital spine). Beneath this lobule, are observed 2 exceedingly small dentiform projections, one placed at the side of the basal portion of the 2nd pair of antennæ (antennal spine), the other occupying the lower corner of the carapax (pterygostomial spine). The inferior margins of the carapax are uniformly arcuate, and the posterior margin, above, in the middle, is but very slight emarginate.
The posterior division of the body (see fig. 2) uniformly arched above, without the slightest trace of a keel, and without any one of the segments, in a strict sense, being hunched and projecting. The 5 anterior segments are furnished with thin, rounded epimera, exhibiting a similar relation to that in the true Caridians, the 1st pair projecting somewhat over the lateral wings of the carapax, while the 2nd pair partially overlap alike the preceding and the succeeding pairs. The 3 first pairs of epimera are as usual considerably larger and broader in the females than in the males. The terminal segment is exceedingly narrow, and in length about equal to the 2 preceding ones taken together.
The eyes (fig. 3) are comparatively small, and imperfectly developed. They are exceedingly narrow, and almost conical in shape, having, contrary to what is generally the case in other Macrurans, their greatest thickness at the base, whence they taper gradually and rapidly toward the extremity. Here is observed the exceedingly small, rounded ocular sphere, furnished with a very light, opaque, whitish pigment. Even the elements of vision would appear to be quite rudimentary, and the skin investing the ocular sphere exhibits but a faintly defined, irregular, reticulate (fig. 4). instead of the regular areolate, structure generally observed. On the boundary-line between the cornea and the stalk of the eye, occurs anteriorly a small tuberculiform projection. The peduncle of the 1st pair of antennæ (figs. 5, 6) is short and thick, almost cylindric in form, attaining scarcely one-fourth of the length of the carapax. Its 1st joint is largest, somewhat irregular in form, and furnished on the outer side with an exceedingly short, spiniform projection, from which a series of curved, plumose bristles extend posteriorly. The 2 succeeding joints are considerably shorter and narrower than the 1st, and about equal in size; the last is very obliquely truncate, from within to without. The 2 flagella are strongly developed; the inner quite slender and half the length of the body, the outer considerably longer, almost equalling the whole body in length, and at the base exceedingly tumid, as also densely beset with the usual riband-shaped sensory bristles.
The 2nd pair of antennæ are not, as in the forms previously treated of, attached in the same horizontal plane with the 1st pair, but are placed considerably lower down; and hence both pairs can be distinctly seen when the animal is viewed in profile (see fig. 2). The short and thick, indistinctly segmented basal portion (see fig. 7) extends, on the outer side, as a slightly projecting, triangular prolation, beset with bristles along the margin, and has on the inner side a slender, inward-directed spine (spina olfactoria).
The squamiform appendage (see fig. 7) is well developed, about one-third longer than the peduncle of the 1st pair of antennæ, and oblong in form, having its greatest breadth, which about equals one-third of the length, in the middle; the outer margin quite straight, the inner very considerably arched. The extremity is slender-obtuse, and, like the whole of the inner margin, beset with a closely arranged series of plumose bristles. In the outer corner of the scale occurs an exceedingly short, dentiform projection.
The flagellum is remarkably developed, more particularly in the males (see fig. 1), attaining upwards of twice the length of the body. Its peduncle (see fig. 7) is thick and muscular, composed of 3 articulations, the last being the largest.
The labrum (fig. 8) forms a somewhat galeate-projecting, fleshy lobule, of an irregular, quadrate form, on which can be distinguished a larger, arcuate median portion and 2 narrower lateral wings.
The labium (fig. 9) is deeply cleft, with the lateral lobules dilated toward the extremity, which is abruptly truncate, and in the outer corner produced to a point. Along the inner margin, these lobules are finely ciliated, whereas the outer and anterior margin is perfectly smooth.
The mandibles (fig. 10) are powerfully developed, and have, as in Pasiphaë, the part turning in toward the mouth lamelliform dilated, with the cutting edge sharpened, and divided into a great number of small acute teeth. Posteriorly, this part exhibits a somewhat inspissated region, armed with smaller and more closely arranged denticles, corresponding to the molar protuberance in other Macrurans. The right and left mandibles differ somewhat, on closer examination, as regards the character of the cutting edge. On the left side, the latter is perceptibly angular, while on the right it is more uniformly arched, and the molar protuberance on the left mandible appears, too, more abruptly truncate than on the right.
The presence of a distinctly developed, though exceedingly short, palp, essentially distinguishes the mandibles in the present form from those in Pasiphaë, which, as we know, has not this character. The said palp (fig. 11) consists of 3 well-defined articulations, of which the 2nd is the largest, the last quite small, oval in form, and beset with numerous diverging bristles.
The 1st pair of maxillæ (fig. 12) have all three branches distinctly developed. The median branch is, as usual, the strongest, compressed from the sides, and armed along the margin, obliquely truncate and directed toward the mouth, with a large number of short spines. The inner branch is likewise lamelliform and rather broad, as also densely setiferous along the inner margin. The outer branch is lanceolate, and directed anteriorly, without distinct bristles.
The 2nd pair of maxillæ (fig. 13) have, contrary to what is the case in Pasiphaë, the true maxillary part (endognath) well developed, and divided into 3 bristle-beset masticatory lobules. The mesognath is slender-lanceolate and furnished at the point with a few long and slender bristles. The exognath constitutes an oblong, translucent, membranous plate, beset round the margins with strong, plumose bristles, and having the posterior — narrower — portion somewhat incurved.
The 1st pair of maxillipeds (fig. 14) exhibit a widely different appearance from those in Pasiphaë, resembling rather the said parts in the typical Caridians. The endognath is divided into 2 lamelliform masticatory lobes, of which the anterior is exceedingly broad, and densely beset along the inner margin with delicate bristles. The mesognath has the same narrow and simple form as in the 2nd pair of maxillæ. The exognath constitutes an anteriorly directed oblong plate, beset along its outer margin with strong, plumose bristles. It ends obtusely rounded, without a trace of the usual terminal lash. The epignath is comparatively of inconsiderable size, and forms a small plate, of a spongious structure, attached by a slender stalk to the outer side of the basal part.
The 2nd pair of maxillipeds (fig. 15) are likewise developed in the manner common to the typical Caridians, and differ greatly from those in Pasiphaë. They consist, exclusive of the stem and its 7 distinct segments, of a well-developed exognath and epignath. From the basal joint of the stem, protends inward a bristle-beset lobule, representing the true endognath, while the rest of the stem corresponds rather to the mesognath on the preceding pair. The penultimate joint is lamelliform, nay almost securiform-dilated, and constitutes, together with the exceedingly small preceding joint, a geniculate curve. Along the outer, arcuate margin, it is beset with numerous bristles and spines. The terminal joint, which a straight suture separates from the penultimate, is considerably smaller, oval, and armed along the inward-directed margin with a series of sharp spines. The exognath, attached to the outer side of the 2nd joint of the stem and protending straight forward, has an exceedingly slender, linear form, and at the end is indistinctly articulated, and beset with bristles; the epignath exhibits a structure similar to that in the preceding pair, but a well-nigh circular form. Posterior to the latter, proceed from the outer side of the basal part a narrow, linguiform lobule, which also occurs on the succeeding pair, and on all of the legs.
The 3rd pair of maxillipeds (fig. 16) are greatlv produced, pediform, and reach, extended anteriorly, about to the point of the scale of the 2nd pair of antennæ. Of the 5 joints of the stem, the 3rd is the largest, and less distinctly separated from the preceding, as also a good deal curved. The terminal joint is not much shorter, tapers rapidly toward the extremity, which is drawn out to an awl-shaped point. Like the preceding joints, it is beset with dense fascicles of bristles, which, more particularly on the inner margin, are strongly developed; true spines, however, do not occur.
To the outer side of the 2nd joint of the stem is attached a well-developed exognath, on which can be distinguished a narrow, cylindric basal portion and a somewhat compressed, multiarticulate terminal part, beset with long, plumose bristles. The whole length of the exognath, when fully extended, equals about one-third of the length of the stem.
Finally, on the outer side of the basal joint of the stem is attached an oval or elliptic epignath, strikingly distinguished by having assumed the character of a true branchia, 8 or 9 distinct transverse folds rising from its outer surface.
All of the legs have a well-developed natatory branch (exopodite) attached to the outer side of the 2nd joint, as in the Schizopods, corresponding to the so-called exognath on the oral appendages.
The two anterior pairs are shortest, and, as in Pasiphaë, furnished with chelæ; the three posterior pairs are, on the other hand, simple at the extremity.
The 1st pair of legs (fig. 17) are scarcely as long as the last pair of maxillipeds, and comparatively feeble in structure. Of the joints, the 4th is the largest, and longer than the three preceding ones taken together. The 5th joint forms along with the 4th, as a rule, a strong, geniculate bend, and is hardly one-third as long as the latter. The 6th joint, or hand, is but little thicker than the preceding joint, and measures about one-fourth of the length of the leg. The fingers, as compared with those in Pasiphaë, are exceedingly short, scarcely half as long as the palm, somewhat slender, and at the point slightly curved (see, too, fig. 18). All of the joints are more or less densely beset with bristles, in particular along the inner margin; the bristles on the hand itself, however, are very short.
The natatory branch is powerfully developed, and reaches, anteriorly extended, beyond the 4th joint. For the rest, its structure perfectly agrees with that of the exognath on the last pair of maxillipeds.
At the base of this pair of legs, as also of the three succeeding pairs, are attached 2 well-developed branchiæ, and, anterior to the latter, the basal joint forms a tuberculiform projection, furnished with a bunch of long, curving bristles.
The 2nd pair of legs (fig. 19) are similar in size and structure to the 1st, being distinguished from them merely by a somewhat different proportion in length between the 3rd and 4th joints, as also by the fingers of the chela being a trifle longer.
The 3rd pair of legs (fig. 20) are very feeble in structure, and greatly produced, their length about equalling that of the whole anterior division of the body. The 3rd joint is a trifle shorter than the 4th, and both exhibit along the inner margin a single series of sharp-pointed spines, exclusive of slender bristles. The last joint is greatly produced, and slender, tapering a little toward the extremity, and provided with scattered fascicles of bristles. The terminal claw is about half as long, falciform, and beset along the inner margin with delicate spines. The natatory branch has precisely the same appearance as that on the two preceding pairs, and not even is the bristle-beset, PG 42 tuberculiform 2Jrojection at the base wanting.
The 4th pair of legs are in no respect distinguished from the preceding pairs.
On the other hand, the last pair of legs (fig. 21) exhibit distinct deviations. They are about of the same length as the two preceding pairs, but taper less abruptly toward the end, as also the proportion in length between the different joints is somewhat different. Thus, the 3rd joint is considerably longer than the 4th, and entirely without spines, whereas the bristles on the inner margin are longer and more numerous. The 5th joint, too, is comparatively larger than in the preceding pair, and very little, if at all, shorter than the 4th. Finally, the last joint is perfectly linear in form, everywhere of the same breadth, and along both margins, but especially the inner, beset with short, scopiform fascicles of bristles. The terminal claw is quite rudimentary, obtuse at the end, and, as a general rule, entirely concealed among the bristles of the preceding joints.
The branehiæ (see fig. 22) exhibit the usual pyramidrical form aud lamellar structure, but are characterizcd by their considerable number. On eitber side occur 10, including the supplementary branchia mentioned above as found on the last pair of maxillipeds. If we except this and the hindmost branchia (see fig. 21), both of which are odd ones, the rest occur in a double series, so that each leg has 2 branehiæ (see figs. 17 and 19).
The natatory appendages of the abdomen (figs 23. 24) are powerfully developed, and consist of a thickish, muscular, and somewhat flattened basal part, along with 2 slender, lanceolate branches, or terminal plates, beset with numerous ciliated marginal bristles. Of these branches, the inner is somewhat shorted than the outer, and at the base furnished on the inner margin with a comparatively large, cylindric, or somewhat claviform, appendix (see fig.24). The 1st pair are in this respect distinguished from the rest chiefly by the said branch being exceedingly short and of a simple oval form. Some difference, too, is observed in these parts on comparing the sexes. In the male, they have on the whole a more powerful structure, with the basal portion comparatively shorter and broader, and less densely beset with bristles. The inner branch on the 1st pair (see fig. 28) is also considerably broader than in the female, and has the extremity almost truncate. On the 2nd pair (fig. 29), are seen, attached to the inner branch, 2 appendices of which the anterior and shortest corresponds to that in the female, while the other is peculiar to the male, and has the form of a narrow, linguiform plate, beset along the margins with strong, spiniform bristles.
The telson (fig. 25) is remarkably narrow and elongate in form, and projects considerably beyond the outer caudal appendages (see fig. 1). Its anterior fourth has an approximately cylindric form, and thence it rapidly and uniformly tapers in a posterior direction, the hindmost part thus becoming exceedingly narrow. The point itself (fig. 26) is somewhat dilated, and exhibits a slightly outward-curving terminal margin, to which are attached 7 spines. The 5 middle ones are uniform in size and appearance, whereas the 2 outermost are far more powerfully developed, and upwards of 3 times the length of the others, as also widely diverging to either side. Along the sides of the appendage, and somewhat nearer the dorsal surface, is observed a series of 6 exceedingly small denticles.
The outer caudal appendages (fig. 27) have a short and simple basal part. Of the terminal plates, the inner is lanceolate, and beset round the edge with long, plumose bristles. The outer plate is a trifle longer than the inner, and at the point somewhat obliquely truncate, with the outer margin perfectly straight and beset with short and slender bristles, the inner slightly arcuate. At the outer corner, occurs an exceedingly small and rudimentary denticle. For the rest, the plate is quite simple, without the slightest trace of a transverse suture in its outermost part.
In a living state, the whole body of the animal, together with its various appendages, has an exceedingly vivid and brilliant blood-red colour. The long flagella of the antennæ exhibit in their basal part more or less distinctly alternating rings, or transverse bands. The ocular pigment is, as stated above, opaque white.
The length of the largest individuals met with, measured from the point of the antennal scale to the tip of the telson, was 83mm. The males would as a rule appear to be larger than the females.
Development. — The very considerable size of the eggs attached beneath the abdomen of the female (see fig. 2), gives reason to surmise, that the development, either occurs direct, as in the genus Bythocaris, or that, at all events, it is merely connected with an imperfect metamorphosis. Meanwhile, roe was found in a single specimen only, and the stage of development did not admit of undertaking any investigation with the said object in view.
The smallest individuals obtained, measuring 16mm in length, exhibited in all essential characters precisely the same structure as full-grown individuals, without its being possible to detect the slightest trace of a previous larval stage.
Occurrence and Habits. — Judging from its whole organization, the form here treated of would appear to lead a kind of semi-pelagic existence; in other words, I have reason to suppose, that, unlike the forms previously recorded, this animal is not strictly confined to the sea-bottom, but can move about freely through the water. Meanwhile, the rudimentary character of the eyes indicate with absolute certainty its habitat as chiefly lying in the deeper strata, a fact to which the experience derived on the Norwegian Expedition gives full confirmation. All of the specimens collected were brought up in the dredge or trawl from the greatest depths in the cold area — 452 to 1862 fathoms. In shallower water we never took it, nor in the surface-net, which not- withstanding was extensively used on the Expedition.
Finally, I will not fail to remark that Mr. R. Collett has found the remains of this form in the ventricle of one or two deep-water fishes whose organization is such as must infallibly prevent them from ascending to any great distance from the sea-bed, viz. -- Raja hyperborea Collett and Lycodes frigidus Collett, both brought up from the great depths of the cold area.
As a remarkable coincidence, it is worthy of note, that the specimen examined by Buchholz is said to have been taken at the surface of the water. Assuming this to have actually been the case, we cannot but regard it as anomolous. The animal had probably from some incidental circumstance, by an undercurrent or in some other manner, been carried up trom the deeper strata, where the species must obviously be assumed to have its true habitat.
Though the form described above, judging from its powerfully developed natatory organs and trifling specific weight, must be deemed an exceedingly vivacious animal, the specimens we succeeded in collecting gave without exception but very faint manifestations of life, notwithstanding they were captured as a rule in a perfectly unmutilated state and as soon as possible isolated in a vessel containing fresh sea-water. The reason of this must clearly be, that the animal, on being suddenly brought up to the light of day from the enormous depths it inhabits, is placed in such abnormal conditions as cannot fail to paralyze all its vital functions. For the rest, similar phenomena may be observed, to a greater or less extent, in most other marine animals whose habitat is the great depths of the ocean.
Distribution. — The specimen described by Buchholz was taken, as previously stated, in the open sea, east of Greenland, and near the 74th parallel of latitude. On the Norwegian Expedition, the form occurred at not less than 14 different Stations, all in the cold area. Finally, Mr. R. Collett found the remains of a specimen in the ventricle of Lycodes frigidus, at Stat. 353, from which we had not recorded this Crustacean.
Hence, the known limits of its distribution are confined within the deep basin, filled at the bottom with ice-cold water, that extends between Spitzbergen, Beeren Eiland, and Norway on the one side, and Greenland, Jan Mayen, and Iceland on the other, — from the 63rd to the 80th parallel of latitude."

Let me show you how simple it is to cut uniform cubes with potato and carrot in this video I shot with Vegetarian Times Magazine. Wardrobe provided by my favorite eco luxury designer Linda Loudermilk.
This was the beautiful view of the rose gardens as we arrived at the NetKal Gala event….. gathering of Asian Americans in entertainment.
Styled by my favorite fashion designer Linda Loudermilk of all time, plus…she's all about luxury eco! Makeup and hair by the best artist ever, Dorit Genazzani.
The beautiful Lisa Ling (Oprah Winfrey Network, Our America) and her husband Dr. Paul Song.
Bryan Tee from Fast and the Furious. I can count all of 2 Asian actors in film. At least they're representing! Yeah.
From the TV show Dexter, actor C.S. Lee. Okay, this makes 2 Asian actors…one TV, one film, so far. I can think of one more Asian male from TV. Hopefully, you can too.
The NetKal Gala was held at USC at the Annenberg Center.
The event was catered by my friends at Good Gracious Catering. I met Pauline and Joanne at Sunset Magazine's annual Celebration weekend event last spring, where I was invited along with Chef Rick Bayless (Frontera), Candace Nelson (Sprinkles), and Govind Armstrong (8oz Burger). So impressive they included vegan raw along side these TV celebrities.
The food was presented beautifully. And, my friends hooked me up with a vegan meal, of course!
Check out this space, there was a pool and water fountain in the center. It was cold that night though. The ladies were all freezing in their cocktail dresses. I had my coat on for dinner. Dinner was accompanied by performances by 3 Korean pop stars. Sort of made me giggle. USA and Korea entertainment is very different. An incredible event. And great conference the following day with discussions and inspiration for ways to encourage more diversity in the media. Some said it'll take a few years. I'm not holding my breath though….
Thank you Nathan Nowack for these gorgeous photos. Please visit Nathan Nowack for more photos from this event.
Last night, I was invited to attend the 6th annual NetKal Gala at USC in Los Angeles, CA. I'm wearing my favorite Luxury Eco Designer Linda Loudermilk: gown made of organic silk, sustainable glass bead lace, ring and necklace made from recycled and remnant chain silver. Dorit Genazzani is my favorite makeup and hair artist, and I love how she makes me look beautiful…thanks Dorit!
There were over 500 Koreans and Korean Americans from the entertainment industry at the NetKal Gala, including actors, directors, producers, and studio executives. Jane Cha is Exec Producer for Project Runway, Ken Mok is creator and Exec Producer of America's Next Top Model, and Lisa Ling (below) from Our America on the Oprah Winfrey Network.
Kenny G is still going strong, making music and performing. He's my one token non-Asian, and everyone was stoked to see him there. hahaaa
My good friend Namju Cho looks so pretty in her cocktail dress. We met when she interviewed me for a feature in KoreAm Journal.
Food was catered by my friends Pauline Perry, Joanne Purnell, and David Cho at Good Gracious.

As Jews throughout the world celebrate the Passover holidays, Egtpitan Intelligence Minister Omar Suleiman will soon be arriving in Israel with an offer from Hamas for a truce. The Egyptian government has been actively engaged in peace discussions with Hamas for many reasons including a desire to avoid its own confrontation with Gazans if Hamas orders a breathrough of Egyptian lines on the Gaza border. Discussions about a truce began months ago spearheaded from the Israel side by Gen(ret.) Amos Gilad and Suleiman. Prime Minister Olmert continues repeating the government line that no discussions were being held with Hamas, either official or not official.
There is some evidence of a split in Hamas leadership with those on the scene in Gaza seeking a reduction of tension while Hamas leaders stationed in Damascus are more prone to seek increasing tension in order to force Israel to the bargaining table. A key factor hindering attaining a cease fire is that while Israel wants an end to Kassam rocket attacks, it does not want a cease fire which allows Hamas to resupply with rockets and other weapons. There is concern among some Israel leaders that Hamas wants to create a situation in which Israel comes across as the intransigent party.
Hamas insists any truce also entails opening border crossings and a halt to Israel Defense Troop operations in the Gaza area. Hamas has agreed in principle to the Egyptian proposal and, in effect, has thrown the ball into the Israel court for further action. However one problem that impacts any truce is whethe Hamas is able to control other militant factions such as the violent Islamic Jihad to cease firing rockets.

HIV or the human immunodeficiency virus is a virus that causes acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). It is a retrovirus that replicates in and handicaps the body's immune defense by infecting helper T cells, macrophages and dendritic cells. HIV is transmitted through direct contact with infected mucous membrane or any of the body fluids, like blood, seminal and vaginal fluids, and also through breast feeding. AIDS itself is not a disease; it is a condition that leads to myriad opportunistic diseases like microbial and viral infections in almost all organ systems including gastrointestinal, respiratory, neurological and cardio-vascular systems and certain forms of tumors that develop due to weakening of immune system. Presence of HIV can be detected by standard ELISA that tests for anti-HIV antibodies (Type IgG and IgM) and the HIV p24 antigen. Nowadays PCR based HIV detection tests are also conducted for preliminary analysis. Most of the government hospitals and dispensaries offer free ELISA checks for AIDS in many developing countries. Many private diagnostic labs also offer services for AIDS detection and post-detection care.

Does anyone know where i could get a gauntlet set/kit in the uk? I'm trying to make my own from scratch but some kind of kit form would do for now just get my costume completed in time for my wife's party in the summer.
I bought mine from a guy (ebay handle frank-n-son) in the UK who offers ESB, ROTJ and Jangos, but beware as his stuff, although vacuformed and fibreglassed is not of high quality and the contact with them isn't also the best.
I wouldn't recommend buying from him, unless you don't find something else and are able to work on them and modify them it's still a solution to work with.
If you do, I would suggest that you buy a kit and not an assembled one, because I f.e. had much more work in the first place to disassemble the gauntlets for upgrading them as I had if I started with a kit (and it's a bit cheaper too).
:) look for Rufkintoy here on the board... dunno if hes from the states or UK... but I have a pair, looks great, got it in kit form.
good guy to do buiseness with aswell.
alot of people use rufkins...
i brought my gauntlets from uk ebayer frank-n-son too, theyre in kit form and i belive he still has one set left on ebay for £40 "buy it now" try searching 'boba fett armor'
I really do not reconmend Frank n son or as they are known now Frank and son 2 :thumbsdown ... best to stay clear of them
yeah i probably will, i've not heard very good things about thim/them. I think I'll have to go with my orginall plan of adapting 2 cocktail shakers
Just on that note it took over 6 months for me to get gauntlets I won on ebay from this Frank and Son @#*+!!! :angry And I had to email and harass evey week to get them .Stay clear .
Mike :fettrotj
6 MONTHS!!!!:thumbsdownQuote:
Fettism said:
Why do People sell stuff they can't provide...Money does some crazy things to people.
as always, I say stick with Chuck (ruffkintoy)
His gauntlets are top-notch.
here's some pics(again:)) of chuck's that I assembled & painted.
Cocktail shakers ?... sounds like a really good idea, I would never have thought of that :) I'm building mine up from cardboard and if they look alright after they are finished I'll try and make a mould so that I can have a nice fibre glass setQuote:
Bactab0y said:
yeah i was going to use some beakers / glasses things but when i cut them up they were too small so i going to uses some cocktail shakers i saw in ASDA as there roughly the same shape but slightly bigger and longer. I post some pics if i ever get round to finishing my costume :facepalm
Good luck with that, and post some progress pics as you do them. I have a set of FrankandSon gauntlets and have had to do a fair bit of work to get them usable, and the fiberglass is a real pain! (literaly!). They're nice enough people but they do take some time to send (and even make) the products. I get the impretion they sell the item and then make it! Although he doesn't yet do gauntlets I'm buying all of my future components from Bobamaker. They're more expensive but of a much higher standard and so are well worth it.
if only he did do gauntlets! I got my flightsuit and flak vest from him and there spot on. I'd certainly buy the gauntlets off him if he did them!

Re: Does Ben Play?
He will, we'll hear all about how tough he is for being out there. Then they will lose badly and we will hear how decimated by injury they are, ignoring the fact that so are the Ravens but they continue to win.

Re: Does Ben Play?
They will play games with us up until kickoff.
Remember a few year ago when they had Ben was hurt and they played this game and Dixon started but Ben Dressed and was the emergency QB. I can see that here. They will dress 3 QBs (Batch, Moyer and Ben) if batch gets taken out then Moyer will suffer a phantom injury and Ben will play.
But i agree, he is cleared to play meaning he won't have any life threating issues if he does. That does not mean his rib is near 100% or his shoulder even close. And this is all on this throwing side.
If he plays he wont be able to throw hard and deep (like leftwhich in the 2nd half) and wont be effective. He will only get hit more which will re aggrivate the shoulder. The last thing they want is to play him here, lose have him get more hurt and miss the Cincy game. They need to be thinking wild card at this point. Even if they win, we will still have the tie breaker because of conf records and probably strenth of vicotry because of our Dallas and NE win. Cincy already has 3 divsion losses so we will have the tie breaker over them as have 2 division games left and are 4-0
Re: Does Ben Play?
I don't believe he will. I think this is all gamesmanship..
There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the universe is for and why it is here it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarrely inexplicable
There is another theory which states that this - has - already - happened

Re: Does Ben Play?
Re: Does Ben Play?
Suggs and/or Kruger could have a big game on Sunday going against the legendary Kelvin Beachum at RT.
Tomlin leaving door open, but Big Ben not expected this week
Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said he'd "leave the door open" for a return by quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, but Charlie Batch is expected to start again this week.
A source told Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette he'd be "shocked" if Roethlisberger played Sunday against the Ravens.
Roethlisberger dislocated a rib and injured his shoulder against the Chiefs, and the source said it's not a pain tolerance issue at the moment as one of performance.
Tomlin said his starter threw Monday, but said: "He's not going to be allowed to play unless he shows us he's capable."
Continued injuries on the offensive line do not help matters, as the Steelers just put Marcus Gilbert on IR and Mike Adams is out with an ankle injury, leaving rookie Kelvin Beachum to start at right tackle.

Re: Does Ben Play?
He is undersized compared to most professional offensive tackles, but improved steadily in college, displaying the kind of athletic ability, body control and footwork that will make him a late-round draft pick. Beachum has significant strength deficiencies; his ability to physically develop as a rookie will likely determine whether he'll have a future in the NFL.
Beachum is very quick off the ball and plays with an obvious sense of urgency. He has a good first step that allows him to get out in front and gain position. When working upfield, he has very impressive short-area quickness and footwork. He is able to adjust against moving linebackers, and he did well in the limited time he spent working in space. Beachum shows smooth, controlled lateral agility when engaging his pass set.
Beachum is a soft prospect. He comes off the ball and moves quickly, but he is not explosive and has a hard time generating push on his man off the snap. He struggles in the run-blocking game, which doesn't bode well for his development and projected move inside to guard. SMU's style didn't offer many chances to show that he can perform in a classic run-blocking scheme, and NFL teams will have to guess whether he can successfully make that positional shift. Beachum is a mirror and patty-cake blocker who was effective and productive at SMU; whether his skills transfer to the NFL is another question.
Good luck against Suggs and Kruger.

Just wanted to say thanks for the advice. I gave the second lesson today and it seemed to go OK. I tried playing hangman (for spelling names of numbers) and that seemed to go down well. I think in future I'll try to do half the lesson with the book and half that's more games, using physical objects to learn vocab and prepositions, etc. I found that exercises I thought might take 10 minutes took 20, so at least I know that for next time.
Can I ask a couple more questions?
1) is there a 'best order' to learn the phonetic symbols in?
2) Would you expect learners to know the present simple tense perfectly (within reason) before introducing them to the past and the future? Or would you teach them the present, past, future of some useful verbs (like, go, do, be, think) at roughly the same time, with the idea that they could then communicate more complex ideas and be more motivated to speak, but stick with present tense only for most other verbs?
thanks again,

Thursday, June 14
By Nick Ames in Kharkiv
By the time he'd found his range, it was well worth the wait - but it wasn't enough.
Robin van Persie cut a dejected figure as he left the Metalist Stadium pitch in Kharkiv last night. His 73rd-minute goal, a cracking drive with that 'chocolate leg' of his, had hauled the Dutch back into contention against old rivals Germany, making amends for a couple of early opportunities that he might usually have gobbled up.
But the comeback was never realised, the Germans seeing the match out expertly to leave Bert van Marwijk's side teetering on the brink of an ignominious group-stage exit.
In truth, the Dutch performance had gone completely awry after Mario Gomez put Germany ahead, slightly against the run of play, in the 24th minute. When he doubled that lead 14 minutes later, they looked well beaten.
Speaking in the mixed zone after the game, Dirk Kuyt suggested - in diplomatic terms, but with enough left hanging in the air - that the dressing room had been a turbulent place at half-time, and the body language of some players had certainly suggested a storm was brewing.
Spurred on by the tireless Van Persie - who might have opened his account sooner if Manuel Neuer hadn't brilliantly saved a 58th minute snap-shot - and the mesmerising figure of Wesley Sneijder, they emerged with purpose after the break, but the damage had been done.
The Germans, and future Arsenal man Lukas Podolski, were deserving winners - tactically sound, with Gomez taking both goals excellently. Podolski himself put in a steady performance, working hard with Philippe Lahm to curtail the threat of Arjen Robben and curbing a few of his attacking instincts in the process.
Much earlier, when the teams came out to warm up before the game, Van Persie could be seen waiting for Per Mertesacker to emerge from the tunnel. The Arsenal team-mates shared a warm embrace and a few words before going their respective ways.
Per watched from the sidelines for a second consecutive game, Joachim Low continuing to field Mats Hummels and Holger Badstuber at centre-back, but I spent a few minutes with him after the final whistle. Genial as ever, the popular Gunner talked about Lukas Podolski, his own situation and the fact that Germany's work in Group B is not yet done. Keep an eye out for his thoughts during the day.
A draw against Denmark on Sunday would be enough to confirm Germany's progress. Nicklas Bendtner's brace looked to have earned the Danes a superb comeback point in yesterday's early game before a late Portuguese winner left their hopes of qualifying in the balance.
Regardless of the outcome, I was pleased for Nicklas - he'd put in a selfless performance against the Dutch four days previously, and did the same this time around while taking the two chances that came his way. It's been an impressive start to the tournament for the Arsenal front man, and I'll be in Lviv on Sunday to find out whether he can help his side see the job through.
First, I'll be in Kiev. This blog comes to you from one of the new, high-speed express trains that many suggested would not see the light of day by Euro 2012. Mine has been propelling me sleekly from Kharkiv - a city I shall certainly miss - since 6.30am, and shortly after alighting I'll be attending England and Sweden's press conferences ahead of tomorrow's vital Group D encounter.
You don't get a lot of sleep at a major tournament, but you wouldn't have it any other way.

This Is What Crisis Feels Like: A Personal Story: "It All Changed. Literally Within A Day…"
Originally published by Simon Black at Sovereign Man.
RiotsIf you're one of the 1,000+ subscribers who has take the trip down to Chile, you might have had the pleasure of meeting Marco, my right-hand man in Chile.
One of the great things about Marco is that he intuitively understands our Sovereign Man philosophy. Because he lived through it.
You see, Marco is originally from Argentina. And he has some extraordinary stories about what it's like to live through a sovereign default and currency collapse.
From Marco:
On December 1, 2001, Argentina's economy was in trouble. Unemployment was high, debt was high, and recession had taken hold. But life was somewhat 'normal'.
Basic services still functioned. And no one had to really worry about… food. Or water. Then it all changed. Literally within a day.
On December 2nd, our bankrupt government imposed measures that essentially froze everyone's bank accounts. You can just imagine– one day having access to your funds, and the next day being completely cut off.
Within a matter of days, people were out in the streets doing battle with the police. The government soon defaulted on its debt, and the currency went into freefall.
I was doing some post-graduate work in Boston at the time. As a foreigner in the US, I wasn't really able to work… so I was living on a tight budget from my savings.
Yet, overnight, I went from being able to pay my rent and living expenses to being completely cut off from my funds. I had nothing.
But when I spoke to my family back in Argentina, I realized that they had it even worse.
Everything became scarce. The electricity went out all the time. Even food on the grocery store shelves ran low. You would eat what you had available at home.
And in a way, food became a medium of exchange. Within just a few days, people went from having confidence in their currency to not trusting it at all. No one wanted to accept paper money anymore, especially for something as valuable as food.
And if they did, it would be at 2-3 times the normal price. With all of this unfolding, I flew back down to see my family.
My father called me and said he had stashed his life savings in US dollar cash in a bank safety deposit box. He needed my help getting it out.
When we arrived to the bank, there were thousands of people in the streets rioting. The police were there in paramilitary gear. It was so tense, we had to bribe someone just to get inside the bank.
Fortunately we were able to get access to the box. But… we had to walk 3 or 4 blocks to the car. It was half panic, half adrenaline rush walking past an angry crowd with my father's life savings shoved down our pants.
Looking back, this was crazy. But at the time, it was the only way. Then came the even harder part– getting it out of the country.
We had friends who would take rowboats full of cash to neighboring Uruguay. But this was incredibly risky.
At the time, the only legitimate way to get money out of the country was buying ADRs (Argentine public companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange). And the only reason we were even able to do this was because we had the contacts.
But we got killed on the fees. The commission alone was 20%, and then, of course, the stocks we purchased took a dive.
So my father ended up losing about half of his savings trying to get it out of the country at the wrong time.
What's funny is that we eventually ended up suing the government. They had destroyed everyone's life savings, and even seized pensions as well.
The government dragged out the legal process for years, almost a decade. They were hoping that all the retirees who were suing them would simply die off, and the problem would go away.
Eventually, we won the case (along with thousands of others). But the judge gave the government a 'suspended sentence'. So, no penalty.
There are so many more stories to tell about this… and fortunately I can laugh about it all now. But at the time, it was beyond stressful.
The best way I can describe it is despair. And this is really the worst emotion you can have. Because when you're in a state of despair, you're hopeless. It's a terrible position to be in.
Life becomes hell because you do not know whether you are going to be able to put food on the table the next day.
And in such a state of despair, you're not in a position to make good decisions. It's all about survival.
Of course, we kept thinking, "why didn't we see this coming? Why didn't we do something sooner?"
If only we had moved some money out of the country before, or taken steps to safeguard his pension, life would have turned out much differently.
It's like that old saying– better to be a year (or decade) too early than a day too late. Because one should never underestimate the speed with which things can unravel.
[Sovereign Man Editor's note: This is an incredibly powerful story that shows how quickly things can change. And it's happening again now in the West, just ask the Cypriots.]

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by roscoe36, Jan 31, 2009.
Professor should be fine as long as the Pistons don't play North Carolina at home..
Very impressive Prof.
double entendre at least I correct my mistakes.
I am going to outbid you. I'd coach for $70,000 a year, pro-rated for the remainder of this season. Qualifications: Played a lot of basketball. Watched a lot of NBA basketball. Hobby is studying game film of NBA games. I've been an amateur NBA critic for these past 8 years. Now, after the Pistons win the Championship this year with me as head coach, I'd probably be asking for a slightly higher payday next year.
When I voted I was in between a D and an F and I ended up choosing the F. Now it is no doubt an F for Curry. This is just sad. If we lose our next game we are at .500! This team is probably going to have a below .500 record before this year is over...with all this talent. When we do go below .500 Joe better fire MC. You can't let go of Carlisle, LB, and Flip, who all got the Pistons at least to the ECF and 50 wins, and not get rid of a guy who might not get this team even to the playoffs.
Lee, if I think of who I know that is THE Pistons analyst/critic, you are the only person who comes to mind. Your "amateur" puts a lot of professionals to shame. As The Low and I have discussed on the podshow, get your raises in the contract first. You will never be able to claim a bonus after you win if you're counting on Bill D and Joe to pay you for what you did yesterday. They do not operate like that.
Off topic, Roscoes last paragraph made me curious. How much is LB making now with Memphis?
Look at this as a sort of puffer-fish observance. Remember, in a good many occurrence's, perception is as an automatic crowning of glorious colors that might speak more toward the spectrum of the rainbow...then the absence of color (which is what color?). He was given the lower end of the rainbow downgraded to a specific wage scale. You need balance for this; because, you must sell a sense of legitimacy that has sometime to build upon. Can you buy time? Well...it didn't work for Porter. The camouflage is visual of fluff-and-puff...within a certain time frame. The former is playing the game. The latter is a certain recognition that probes the possibility of a Darwinian miscalculation and being of a possible wrong does not buy you an extra lifetime (GMs are the exception). The question I need to ask JD: are you comfortable with the some of your exceptional decision points coming up (nothing is 100% sure) that might rest upon a maturation level, that (at the very worse) will help level some things out?
didn't want to start a new thread with this...but can someone explain to me HOW this quote makes sense? i'm not connecting the logic...
I think that is a copy & past from Flip last year. Good God!
Well, that quote is pretty much an admission of a nightmare for various Pistons fans. You see, he wanted to give Allen a rest and replace him with a defensive player. However, he couldn't give up Allen's offense because Rodney and Richard weren't doing jack. On either side of the ball. Apparently, he wanted to win the game and didn't believe he could if he took Allen out of the game and left any of the other three in. He was right, up until he called a timeout.
Arron Afflalo was supposed to play, but Curry said, "as Allen (Iverson) was going, I wanted to get Afflalo in there, but (Rodney) Stuckey and Rip never got going. That kind of stops you from being able to bring someone else in to give Allen more of a break." Curry didn't want to replace Rodney and Rip...Because they were playing bad. He usually waits til somebody is playing GOOD before replacing them.
A great playwright couldn't make this stuff up. How in the world is Curry still coaching. The cleveland game is simply unwatchable.
Analyzing Curry's logic is frightening most of the time. Whenever he expounds on a decision, it usually makes you wonder why he doesn't just do the exact opposite.
Is it to late to reopen this poll so I can lower my vote down two levels to F- ??
I wonder how Curry is going to be in his 4 post game press conferences as a head coach. Will he go with the silent angry routine, or will he go the self deprecating, mood lightening route?
"Our shots not good."
Offense wins games not defense ? I think we can outscore the opponent like the Suns ? It beginning to look like Curry was part of the problem with the Flip regime.
Roscoe I think you posted this poll too early....I bet you half those D's would turn to F's and the few B's/C's would be D's and F's too if the poll was given now.
The C- that I gave him a few weeks back seems absurd to me now. Yesterday was the lowest that I've felt as a Pistons fan in a looooong time and Mike Curry should be held accountable.
Separate names with a comma.

Making modern design feel warm, appropriate, and desirable was the topic of the session, Responsive Modern Design. For Johnsen Schmaling, it's all about applying the principles that you would for any other building in any other climate—site, orientation, footprint, materials, and environment. Plus, the firm works really hard to make its buildings rest lightly on the land. "We practice the concept of restraint," said Sebastian Schmaling, AIA, LEED AP. "It's a state of mind that helps us understand what we do."
The firm uses these concepts and strategies whether it's working in an urban setting or rural location, and on an existing house or a new house. Choosing the right materials is also a huge part of what the firm does, Schmaling said. The architects are always thinking locally and thinking about what's available. "It's about the precise assembly of materials," he said. "It allows them to age gracefully."
One of the most important elements that guide the firm, however, is the client. If the client is on board with what the firm is trying to do, then all the pieces fall into place. "The key for us is convincing clients that smaller is better, and that quality trumps quantity," Schmaling says.
Mark Peters, AIA, of Studio Dwell, also deals with quality issues when it comes to his urban-infill projects in and around Chicago, but his issues are slightly different. "We work in the city, but people still want a quality of light and they still want privacy," Peters said.
Peters, whose firm does single-family infill and multifamily work, said clients want their homes to have many of the same things that people in the suburbs want. His work, therefore, revolves around "creating open plans so people can walk around and creating a connection with the outside." Multifamily work is more challenging sometimes, the architect said, because architects have to solve inherent problems of dense, attached living spaces such as noise and privacy. "We try to make production homes and plans feel special," the architect said.
Few architects are able to do more with less than Jonathan Segal, FAIA, whose derring-do in San Diego is legendary in the architectural community. Segal specializes in turning blighted gap-toothed lots in the city into silk purses, along the way acting as developer, architect, contractor, interior designer, and landscaper. "I work only in the city," he said, "because people want to live in the city and they don't want to have to drive a car." Only until architects take control of the process will things change, the architect concluded.
Finally, Lawrence Scarpa, FAIA, with Brooks + Scarpa, encouraged architects to reconsider how they site their buildings to respond to their environment, site, and region. The air conditioner, he argued, changed everything. As a result, some architects forgot about site and making buildings more responsive to their environment.
"Buildings that are responsive," he said, "are made to work in the environment." Architects, he said, should look at how buildings used to be built for inspiration and guidance. "Think of building orientation, provide shade, and protect the building," he concluded.

By Nick Ames
Thomas Vermaelen believes that a shift in Chelsea's playing style adds interest to Saturday's eagerly-awaited clash at Emirates Stadium.
The Arsenal captain detects a greater attacking thrust to Roberto Di Matteo's team - complementing the defensive steeliness for which it has long been known.
Speaking in his notes for the Official Matchday Programme, Vermaelen said: "Chelsea have a lot of good technical players in their side, and I think they've changed the style of their game a bit.
"They seem more attack-minded now, with players like Eden Hazard, Oscar and Juan Mata all looking dangerous. Fernando Torres is a threat with his movement too.
"That said, they're still based on the strong foundations that people associate them with - players like John Terry, Ashley Cole and Branislav Ivanovic have a lot of experience and make them very strong at the back."
The Belgian is well placed to comment on Hazard, whom he plays alongside for a national team full of Premier League talent. He admits that the Gunners will have to marshal Hazard well as they battle to maintain their unbeaten start to the campaign.
"People talked a lot about him when he played for Lille, and understandably so because he's one of the most talented players in Europe," said Vermaelen.
"Chelsea bought him for a lot of money, but he's already showed what exceptional quality he has. He can do a lot with the ball and has the ability to decide a game on his own, so we'll have to keep a close eye on him."

By the time Ruley and his bandmates received their driver's licenses, the trio had already released several 7" singles and a debut album, Pokinatcha, for Tooth & Nail Records in 1994. It quickly became the label's best-seller and prompted the release of the band's sophomore effort, Teenage Politics, late the next year. By this time, Husted had been replaced by guitarist Tom Wisniewski, and the group quickly followed the release of Teenage Politics with a short collection of cover songs entitled On the Cover. Popular with the skate/surf community as well as the punk underground (with a snowboard sponsorship to their name), MxPx ultimately broke out of the underground in 1996 with their classic third LP, Life in General. The album included such fan favorites as "Chick Magnet" and "Move to Bremerton."
Though dubbed a Christian punk band, religious themes were never an overbearingly dominant force in the band's songs, as they usually relied on such universal themes as growing up. Furthermore, as MxPx progressed in their career, their songs gravitated toward the secular side of things even further. Slowly Going the Way of the Buffalo, the band's debut for major label A&M, appeared in 1998. That fall, they also released the compilation album Let It Happen on their old Tooth & Nail label; the odds-and-sods collection contained B-sides, demos, and other stray tracks. The live recording At the Show showed MxPx's ability to re-create their spunky music in concert, and The Broken Bones EP appeared 2000 before their next full-length, The Ever Passing Moment, arrived in the spring.
Another effort, The Renaissance EP, was followed two years later with the band's first greatest-hits release, Ten Years and Running. Their next official studio effort came in the form of 2003's Before Everything & After, an album that alienated some fans with its slick, pop-oriented nature. Late 2004 saw the release of a career retrospective DVD, B-Movie, and the guys passed the following summer by returning to the Vans Warped Tour. MxPx then returned to form (and back to the indie leagues) with their seventh studio album, Panic, which surfaced in June 2005 on the Side One Dummy label. MxPx spent summer 2006 on the road with ska-punkers Reel Big Fish before dropping their next record, Let's Rock, that October. Let's Rock was comprised of previously unreleased tracks from recording sessions dating back to 2000. The next month, Tooth & Nail reissued a deluxe version of MxPx's 1998 rarities compilation Let It Happen, including a bonus DVD and several unreleased songs.
MxPx then confirmed in early 2007 that they had re-signed with Tooth & Nail with the intention of releasing their new album that summer, and release it they did, with Secret Weapon hitting stores in the middle of that year. They remained on the roster for the 2009 release of On the Cover II, another covers album that paid tribute to the band's early days while showing appreciation for the likes of the Clash, Ramones, and the Go-Go's. Late that year, MxPx issued the EP Left Coast Punk on their own label, Rock City Recording Company; for the holidays, they issued Punk Rawk Christmas digitally and in several limited-edition packages. MxPx marked their 20th anniversary with ninth studio album Plans Within Plans, which arrived in spring 2012 for the Rock City label. ~ John Bush & Corey Apar

John Batelle's blog tipped me to this one. The National Science Foundation gave just under $100,000 to the University of Charleston for the development of a music search engine that uses aesthetic similarity.
The engine has the ability to 'listen' to the music and find comparative pieces in the same genre and music style.
In and of itself that is impressive, but the cross applications are enormous for sound recognition based search.

So, the Roadmaster goes to it's new home today in New York and I've reached a stalemate in determining what kind of car to get.
I've got $3000 and can go up to $3500 if it's really good
I'm considering the following cars
1996-1998 Volvo 850/V70s
1996-2003 Nissan Maximas (Gen 4 and 5)
1994-1997 Honda Accords (preferably wagons)
Subaru Legacy Wagons
Here are my concerns with each:
Volvo 850/V70 - Could be a potential money pit. I'm not familar with these cars in terms of repairs, though they seem simple enough. The one I'm looking at is mechanically sound
here's the list of mechanical work recently done: headgasket, decked and cleaned head, timing belt, tensioners, rollers, water pump, radiator, alternator, full PCV kit, Bosch wires, OEM cap/rotor, new plugs. From Missouri. V70 tail lights, HIDs, Cross drilled and slotted rotors with new pads all around. 125k miles
Being fixed up right now by a known person in the Volvo community and for sale at the top of my price range ($3500). Paint is oxidizing (single stage) and would require a significant amount of buffing by a real pro to return. The bumper is also a bit banged up, but this is common for the 850R. The fact that it's not BROKEN is more amazing.
Nissan Maxima - NOT A WAGON... I really would like a wagon. VQ35DE motor can consume oil, VQ30DEK Gen5s seem to be plagued with sensor issues, Gen4s seem stout.
Here's one I'm looking at:
2002 Maxima SE 6speed
180k miles. Interior looks pretty thrashed:
Shifter bezel is... not attached.
steering wheel looks pretty worn
Rear seats look pretty stained or dirty.
Not interested in an automatic
Honda Accord - I really want a wagon. I do NOT want an automatic and will not buy one with an automatic. That makes it difficult to find. Another issue is rust. We all know Hondas of this vintage rust BAD on the rear fenders. I won't touch a rusty car making this even MORE difficult to find one. What sucks is I had found one and the bastard never got back to me with his number and eventually sold it after dropping the price from $3000 to $1900 and the thing was ****ing immaculate.
Subaru Legacy - Hits nearly all the right boxes except one: reliability. Most Legacys I'm looking at are of the 'leaky headgasket' generation (EJ25D and EJ251). Also, most of them of the older generation are beat to ****.
Any other suggestions?
the 855R seems like it might be the best choice for me despite being expensive.
