text: IMO, the only "right" they have is to be picked up and deported back to the country they came from. I know and work with many legal aliens who applied for a immigration permit, waited years for it to be granted and have worked hard become contributing members of this country. To give the same to someone who sneaks in is a slap in the face to those who do it the right way.

NEW YORK — Domonic Brown's path to the All-Star game went right through Georgia. It wasn't easy.
Brandon Phillips helped make it easier.
Both players attended Redan High School in suburban Atlanta. Brown had previously lived in Florida before moving to Georgia to be with his father.
"I think I needed that father figure back in my life. He left when I was in eighth grade. He was still in my life, but I wasn't seeing him on an everyday basis," the Phillies outfielder said. "There were some tough times, but we finished strong and I ended up getting drafted. Now I'm here."
Phillips would come back to visit, providing Brown with a big league role model. They even hit together. Now they're sharing the field at the All-Star game.
"That's my little boy," said Phillips, the Reds' second baseman. "He played with my younger brother, so it's going to be nice for me to say that I played with somebody that my brother played with and then he can say that he played with both brothers. That's going to be nice for me and it's also going to be nice for him.
"Representing Atlanta, Georgia, with him. I'm looking forward to it."
THE SHOW: Miguel Cabrera has the kind of numbers that draw attention from fans.
The Detroit Tigers slugger tends to get the same reaction from his peers, too.
"That's just like, video game, and let's just go out and have some fun and smile and laugh when we strike out," Washington slugger Bryce Harper said Monday during All-Star festivities. "It's just, Miggy is going up there and ... going, 'Hey, if I don't hit a homer, I shouldn't be playing today.'"
Cabrera hit .330 with 44 homers and 139 RBIs last season, winning the AL Triple Crown. The third baseman is hitting .365 with 30 homers and 95 RBIs at the All-Star break this year. That's an impressive full season for almost any player. Let alone a first half.
Not that he's all that impressed with any of it.
"There isn't a lot of time to see that," he said. "Maybe if I see it in the game, you know how they put it on the scoreboard? So I think that's the only chance we got time to see it. Because you got to worry about other stuff, why are you going to worry about the stats?"
HARP ON THIS: Bryce Harper had his name misstated in a pregame news conference — NL manager Bruce Bochy called him "Bryan" before correcting himself immediately — and was slotted in the ninth spot in the NL order for tonight's game.
Welcome to the All-Star game, kid.
The second-year Washington outfielder said he's never batted ninth in his life.
"That's usually for the pitcher. I don't think I'm pitching tomorrow," Harper said. "You know, we've got a great lineup one through nine. It's pretty tough to get in that lineup, so I'm just very excited and blessed to be able to start and I'm so thankful for it."
JUST A NUMBER: Jordan Zimmermann has the best record in the NL. He is not particularly impressed with himself.
"I'm not a big fan of the win-loss record," the Washington starter said. "Some years the run support's there, some years it's not."
The right-hander is 12-4 this season with a 2.58 ERA. That's only slightly better than that of teammate Stephen Strasburg, who is 5-7 despite a 2.99 ERA.
"Look at Stephen, he's got a losing record, and he's got under a three ERA," Zimmermann said. "I think ERA's the big thing, and quality starts."
FOR RELAXING TIMES: Adam Wainwright pitched on Sunday, so he's unavailable for tonight's game.
The St. Louis starter is set to make the most of his time off, anyway.
"It's going to be amazing for me. I would love to pitch in the game, obviously, but also right now this break is perfect timing for me," Wainwright said. "I brought my tennis shoes, my shagging glove, and if I had a hammock, you know, that'd be the thing that would put it over the top."
HEY NOW: Cincinnati second baseman Brandon Phillips was talking with reporters Monday afternoon during the media session, sitting at a table with his name on a sign behind him.
While this was going on, San Francisco Giants closer Sergio Romo ran up to the table, carrying his own sign on a large piece of posterboard with his name on it in orange and blue.
"We're All-Stars Brandon, we're All-Stars!" Romo shouted before running away with a huge smile on his face.
STUMPED: Justin Masterson was ready when a TV crew from MLB UK handed him a cricket ball, then asked if he knew what to do with it.
"I mean, I could try," the Cleveland pitcher said, pantomiming a respectable overhand delivery. "I don't know if I could get over the top much. I'm not much of a bowler.
"I watched a little bit. You know, having been born in Jamaica, just living there a couple years, cricket's the biggest thing there. I've tried to watch and understand a little bit, but it's still a little bit beyond me."
NOTES: Adam Jones brought a shiny WWE championship belt with him as a prize for the Home Run Derby. "I want to crown the champ with it," he said. ... Monday's media session was held in the Jackie Robinson Rotunda at Citi Field, an area meant to echo the Brooklyn Dodgers' old Ebbets Field and honor Robinson. Mariano Rivera was seated in front of the giant blue No. 42 that honors Robinson. Rivera is the last big leaguer still wearing the number, which has been retired across baseball. ... The out-of-town scoreboard at Citi Field displayed the scores of previous All-Star Games. Noticeably absent was the 2002 game, which ended in a 7-7 tie after 11 innings when the teams ran out of available pitchers.

Kaspersky Lab announces a new partnership agreement with Abu Dhabi Racing which is intended to create more opportunities for young Emiratis as professional rally and racing drivers in the world of motorsport. This partnership will help fund the growing competitive programme being undertaken by Abu Dhabi Racing, which has been working on a number of initiatives to bolster the emirate's presence in global motorsport since it was established a year ago.
Within the new partnership the familiar Kaspersky Lab branding, which has appeared on Ferrari's F1 cars for three consecutive seasons, will be carried by Abu Dhabi Racing during competitive events in the 2014 FIA Middle East Rally Championship and at some of the world's top circuit races.
"We are very pleased to have formed a working partnership with Kaspersky Lab. We are aligning ourselves with a company which already delivers IT security for many world-renowned brands, and we look forward to developing a fruitful relationship which will bring great success for both partners," said Sheikh Khalid Al Qassimi, Chairman of Abu Dhabi Racing. "Since we launched at the end of last year, we have been working to secure additional strategic partnerships to promote Abu Dhabi as a destination, and provide the next crop of UAE National motorsport drivers with a real chance to compete professionally. This is another important step towards achieving our objectives."
Khalid Abu Baker, Managing Director, Kaspersky Lab Middle East commented: "Having solid experience in motorsport sponsorship, Kaspersky Lab is eager to apply its expertise in partnership with Abu Dhabi Racing. We are sure that Emirati drivers have the potential and ambition to succeed at an international level. We hope that this agreement is the start of a mutually fruitful relationship between Abu Dhabi Racing and Kaspersky Lab."
The partnership with Abu Dhabi Racing also sees Kaspersky Lab supporting the race program of Khaled Al Qubaisi, who in June became the first Emirati driver to compete in the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans, and also contested this year's renowned Nurburgring 24 Hours in Germany.

Serves 4
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
8 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed
1 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed
2 lemons
1/4 cup dry white wine
2 pounds squid, cleaned and skinned
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic, paprika, oregano, pepper, and thyme. Set aside.
Cut the lemons in half. Cut one lemon half into 4 wedges. Squeeze the juice from the remaining halves into a small bowl. Add the wine to the bowl and set aside.
Cut the squid bodies into 1/2 inch diagonal slices. Leave the tentacles whole, unless they are large, in which case, cut them in half.
Heat a large, heavy skillet or griddle over high heat until very hot. Add the olive oil mixture, stirring quickly to lightly cook the garlic, about 1 minute. Add the squid and lemon-wine mixture. Sprinkle on the salt. Cook on high heat, stirring, until cooked through, about 1 more minute. Add the parsley and fry 10 to 20 seconds. Do not over cook, or the squid will become tough.
Serve the squid with the pan juices and the reserved lemon wedges.
Serving suggestion:
Crusty French bread and a Greek salad make this a perfectly light and tasty summer meal. Don't forget the ouzo.

The German steel industry could buckle under the competitive pressure driven by Europe's carbon emission trading.
According to steel maker ThyssenKrupp, steel production outside Europe is not being impacted by costs for CO2 certificates leading to a divergence in competitive conditions. As a consequence, the industry could abandon Europe as a production location.
"As a consequence of a costly EU solution for emissions trading, we expect investments in steel production to be stopped, jeopardizing our integrated iron and steel making site in Duisburg with more than 10,000 jobs."
Another consequence to consider is the current tight condition for global steel supply due to increasing consumption from developing countries. Standards at overseas production facilities are significantly lower than those applied by European producers, ThyssenKrupp said. The collapse of European steel industry will only expand production from unregulated countries, which will exacerbate the increase in global carbon emissions.

Samsung Scores with Newest TV TechMoon Ihlwan
Stop in a Best Buy (BBY) to buy a new TV and, separate from all the flat screens from the likes of Sony, Sharp, and Philips, you'll find a section devoted to just one brand, Samsung, and only one type of TV technology, LEDs, or light-emitting diodes. Since July, Best Buy has been devoting 16-foot-wide wall space in each of its 900 stores nationwide to the Korean company's top-of-the-line flat-panel sets, which feature a new type of lighting that produces a picture that is crisper than ordinary LCD or plasma models. It's the first time Samsung Electronics has gotten this kind of red-carpet treatment at Best Buy, which has a similar arrangement for Apple's (AAPL) iPhone.
The alliance with Best Buy is another sign of the success Samsung Electronics has achieved in marketing its high-end TVs, which are burnishing its brand image and helping Samsung to rake in profits. The increased presence in the U.S. retail electronics chain underlines the Korean company's growing leadership in TVs. Its global shipments of LCD TVs totaled 5.7 million in the second quarter of this year, up by some 606,000, or 12%, from the first quarter, the largest growth of all TV makers, according to market researcher iSuppli. In contrast, sales for Sony (SNE), erstwhile king of the TV world, fell to 2.8 million units from 3 million.
Samsung's strategy this year was to bring out a new series of TVs, particularly those using LEDs as a light source. It was a high-risk bet as the new lineup could boost the price by up to a third at a time when consumers faced the pain of a global recession and the threat of layoffs. But Samsung officials said they were determined to widen the gap with rivals after becoming the leader in LCD TVs in 2007 both in terms of unit sales and revenues. "We needed a new driver to maintain a growth momentum," says Sue Shim, senior vice-president for TV marketing at Samsung.
Making LED TVs Stand Apart The Korean electronics company saw the answer in LED-lit LCD TVs. That's because by replacing traditional fluorescent lamps with LEDs to illuminate the screens of LCD TVs, manufacturers could deliver brighter and sharper picture quality, save power by more than 40%, and reduce the thickness of the screen by a third to make it easier for consumers to hang them on the wall. Yoon Boo Keun, Samsung's TV chief, said he believed his company could accelerate the opening of a market for the products as they satisfy "unmet needs of consumers."
Once the decision was made last fall, Samsung pushed for LED-lit LCD TVs at full force. To make its new products stand out from other LCD TVs, Shim's marketing team drew up a plan to position them as a completely new category. "We want to get across a message that it is a whole new species of TV," Shim said. To stress the difference, Samsung dropped a reference to LCD, simply calling them "LED TVs." One of the first moves was to dominate shelf space at major retailers. To this end, Samsung came up with a full lineup of four different models of LED TVs, in sizes ranging from 32 to 55 inches, and launched them globally in March at the same time. Rivals introduced only one or two models. That has allowed Samsung to dominate the LED category so far this year. Market researcher DisplaySearch expects Samsung to grab a share of some 60% for all of this year in the segment, which is expected to rise from 3.7 million units in 2009 to 64 million in 2012.
The Korean company also splurged on hundreds of millions of dollars in ads and other campaigns to promote TVs using LED technology. It declined to give details of its marketing spending but said this year's marketing expenditure for its TV business tripled that of last year. One example: Samsung is spending more than $25 million for a U.S. deal this year with the National Football League and various promotions tied to it.
Profit Margin Estimate of 12% The promotional campaign was as active online as offline. To attract consumers, Samsung hired a British TV studio to make a short but odd video of sheep covered with LED lights being herded around a hillside in the darkness. As the flock moves across the hill, viewed from afar, the lights form and reform into various shapes and ultimately bounce through fields like the old Pong video game. The online video managed to generate 4 million hits in the first eight days and more than 10 million hits so far. The company also bought search-related ads to make sure Samsung will be the first item in search results related to LED TVs.
Dividends from the marketing investment have been handsome in the traditionally razor-thin TV business. Samsung's Digital Media Div., which makes TVs, computers, printers, and audio and video consumer devices, reported a respectable profit margin of 9% on sales of $9.5 billion in the three months to June, without providing a breakdown of the contribution from TVs alone. Song Myung Sup, electronics analyst at brokerage HI Investment & Securities, figures the company's TV business profit margin was 12%.
Now, with signs that the global economy is recovering from recession, Samsung is spurring its efforts to cement its leadership. TV business chief Yoon says his company aims to sell at least 10 million LED-lit LCD TVs next year, about five times its targeted volume this year, as the LED segment gains popularity and competition gets tough. "We will work hard to deliver new values to consumers at competitive prices when they want them," says Yoon. "I'm confident we'll maintain our leading status."

Boston College halts Ferris State, wins NCAA hockey title
TAMPA – Back-stopped by the sterling play of goaltender Parker Milner, Boston College pulled away from underdog Ferris State, 4-1, Saturday to win its fifth NCAA Division I men's hockey title.
Milner, named most outstanding player in the Frozen Four, made 27 saves against the Bulldogs to finish four NCAA tournament games with 110 stops while allowing two goals in 240 minutes.
Boston College (33-10-1) was playing in its seventh championship game since 2000 and became the first school to win three crowns in a five year span since Denver in 1958, 1960 and 1961. Ferris State (26-12-5) was attempting to become the first school to win the title in its first appearance in the championship game since Maine in 1993, and the first to triumph in its first trip to the Frozen Four since Lake Superior State in 1988.
The game was closer than the final margin as the Bulldogs played BC to a virtual standstill for 57 minutes. The Eagles built a 2-1 advantage in the first period and held that lead only because of two goal-saving stops by Milner.
"I thought it was a perfect game for us. I liked the way it unfolded," said Ferris State's Bob Daniels, the national coach of the year. "Coming out of the first period when it was 2-1, I felt pretty good. I felt as though, okay, we can play with these guys.
"Then, we've got this down to a seven-minute hockey game. This is a good spot for us to be in. I think that was as good as we can play. I think that's a testament to Boston College and how good they are."
Boston College finally got a clinching goal with 3:02 remaining on a solo shift from freshman Johnny Gaudreau when he split two defenders and lifted a backhander over the stick of Bulldog goalie Taylor Nelson. The Eagles added Steven Whitney's empty-netter with a minute remaining.
BC ends the year on a 19-game winning streak, a single-season school record. In that span Milner allowed 21 goals.
Ferris State reached the championship game by winning a series of 2-1, 2-1 and 3-1 (with an empty net goal) showdowns with Denver, Cornell and Union. The Bulldogs appeared overmatched against a Boston College team that dismantled Minnesota 6-1 in the semifinals and had not lost since January 21.
But if not for Milner, Ferris might have pulled the biggest upset in Frozen Four history.
"They don't have the name recognition, but we really analyzed how Ferris got here," said BC coach Jerry York, who won his fifth title to tie for second on the career list. "They won a league (the Central Collegiate Hockey Association) that sent five teams to the NCAA tournament. You don't just throw your sticks out and win that league."
BC took a 1-0 lead less than four minutes into the game on Whitney's backhander from the left side of the goal crease. Garrett Thompson pulled the Bulldogs even with his goal two minutes later before the Eagles made it 2-1 on Paul Carey's power play deflection with nine seconds remaining on a Ferris State penalty.
Milner then stopped Kyle Bonis' breakaway attempt with 5:22 left in the period and made a sprawling leg save on Thompson's attempt in the final minute.
"He bailed us out when we made mistakes," said BC senior captain Tommy Cross.
Boston College won the special teams battle, scoring once on its power play while its penalty killing unit blunted all four of Ferris State's opportunities.
"I can't think of any shots I really faced on the penalty kill," Milner said. "Most of the shots I saw were right in my chest or on the ice. That wasn't because Ferris State can't shoot. Our guys forced them into hard shots."
The game drew a crowd of 18,818 to the Tampa Bay Times Forum, a record for a first-time Frozen Four venue. Total attendance for the semifinals and championship was 37,423.

Panosteitis (puppy growing pains)
Jango is experiencing panosteitis in his front leg which is causing him to limp a little. The vet took a look at him and everything is fine, just some puppy growing pains which are common for GSD. This is the first time I've dealt with this before, and am wondering what you guys have done in the past to make the pain better?
I'd love to start taking him running but I want him to be pain-free before we begin.
Poor puppies, it sounds so painful :(
a dog shouldnt be running until they are at least a year old, preferably no hard running until 18 months. So don't even try that no matter pain free or not.
Panosteitis is not actually "puppy growing pains", it's a weakening in the long bones causing inflammation, largely considered to be cause by rapid growth rates.
I've used a combination of NSAIDS, Rimadyl, and pain medication, Tramadol, along with decreased exercise.
Thanks for the information, I'll look into some of those items you listed.
How did your vet diagnose the pano? Was it by observation and or palpation? Or did you need an X-Ray?

Dixon Comptroller Charged With Stealing
There are 37 comments on the MyFoxChicago story from Apr 17, 2012, titled Dixon Comptroller Charged With Stealing. In it, MyFoxChicago reports that:
Rockford, Ill. - The comptroller of Dixon was arrested and charged Tuesday for allegedly stealing more than $30 million in city funds since 2006 to furnish her lavish lifestyle, which included a horse farm, seven tractor-trailer trucks and a $2.1 motor home, according to a federal complaint.

Well. Makes me wonder how many other villages, towns, cities and counties are being ripped off. Not to mention what the Feds are doing with our constitutional rights. Wake up people. WAKE UP. This will not change until we the people force the real change needed on a local, state and federal level.
This is the taxpayer money being stolen. The actual producers of this country that actually have a job are being ripped off!!! Let's not even get into the welfare blood suckers off this society.
This witch had access to taxpayers money for 30 years. So far, they have only gone back to 2006 to discover 30 MILLION dollars missing Remember that the next time your government tries to tell you they need to raise taxes !! Next time ask them what benefits they have to justify an increase.
Timed to get more than p-sd off.

Maybe she will get the same terms as the thief who stole $105,000 from thje fire Dept. in Amboy. She was allowed to make payments for 30 yrs and missed the 3rd pmt. of $300 per mo.,but what the hell its only taxpayer money.The taxes can be raised a little and offset the loss.How did Dixon still operate for the last 6 yrs without the 30 million? This is an average of 5 million per year.Will they increase or decrease the budget by this amount?
#4 Apr 19, 2012
How in the hell could you steal 30 million from a town with a budget of 8 million a year. Can't be done. She must have have a credit line somewhere with town funds. Do the math, it's impossible.

So, a guy in Harmon,Il. stole from the village. He and his family enjoyed all the comforts of life on this little towns money. He did prison time, moved away, some of the family disowned him. Amboy, Il. got hit at least 3 times by this kind of activity, 1)years ago employee caught embezzling from bank 2) employee caught embezzling from fire department (right?)3) the mayor caught stealing from a museum that is supported by donations, who knows what else he stole while mayor. Dixon has this fiasco. Just wait folks, it is going on in a town near you or the one you are living in.
#6 Apr 19, 2012
$4500.00 bond for $30,000,000. Looks to me as if the feds don't have much of a case. Is that possible they failed to cross the t's and dot the i's. "Oh, no
say it ain't so"
#7 Apr 19, 2012
She's probably Jewish
#8 Apr 26, 2012
she has been winning with aqha like crazy, makes you wonder if she paid off the judges with that money she took ? how could she always be top dog all the time at the shows??? i think there is alot more to this then meets the eye like crooked judges ?? i think this will only get worse before it gets better. iam sure it will shake the horse world and the aqha to its knees yet. to the point there will be no more aqha or aqha world or shows because i think she paid the judges off and may be aqha too.i think there is a lot more dirty pool being plyed here then her stealing just the money and buying what she did. this is going to get very dirty yet.and it will uncover dirty horse in the horse world too with aqha being right in the middle of it all
#9 Apr 26, 2012
when all her horses sell it will be the sale of the century
#10 Apr 26, 2012
she should give back all her awards she got them by lying
#11 Apr 27, 2012
The city of Dixon should rehire her and give her a raise.If she took 5 million a year of the seven million budget and still ran the city,just think what she could do with the whole seven million.Ill bet you Dixonites could even get a new or additional Reagan statue and have Rita dedicate it.
#12 Apr 27, 2012
The guy in Harmon was the township supervisor and took serial numbers off equipment at his job site and secured phony loans as if the township was buying it.The money ended up on the Mississippi Belle.A little over a hundred thousand.
#13 Apr 29, 2012
if you think of what 30m could have done to improve your community and the quality of enjoyment like parks and better infrastructure, it only proves she is in fact evil.
#14 Apr 29, 2012
Congrats Dixon public officials. Now you've all got some real egg on your faces. How on earth could you think that Crundwell could afford such a lavish lifestyle???
You should of woken up and smelled the rat a long time ago.
Was it because she was a lifelong Dixon resident the you chose not ask any questions?
#15 Apr 29, 2012
The people of Dixon should demand their taxes be slashed for two reasons: 1) The town has proven it can run on half the income the last several years. 2) The town has proven it is careless, reckless, and inept in handling money. Wise up!
#16 Apr 29, 2012
From a fellow exhibitor and competitor of Rita, let me tell you two things that I'm very sure of: 1) She's been at this LONG before 2006! 2) Jim McKillips has hands just as dirty as hers and I pray he doesn't go unpunished!
#17 Apr 30, 2012
she played dity all along and that includes all the shows . she won at i bet she payed off the judges too with her funny money and maybe the aqha too
#18 May 1, 2012
They Need to ALL be thrown OUT!! The Idiot mayor said the other night--"Just think how many more employees we could have hired and had on the payroll if we would of had that money." IT IS NOT the object of government just to see how big we can make government.!!! That town is dying. Nothing is being done to grow the Town--Industrial development, private enterprise etc. All they have is a prison and cops handing out DUI's and busting potheads every day. The census went down from 18000 to 15000 in 2010. Where the Hell has common sense gone???
#19 May 1, 2012
That mayor can't wait to hire back employees? This is typical of what is wrong with the out of touch elected officials. Dixon did without those added employees, take your lickin and suck it up. Start giving money back to the people of Dixon !!! Now it is reported that Crundwell has stolen around $53 million. Time to get all of those bums outta there. And Crundwell deserves nothing less than the rest of her life in prison
#20 May 2, 2012
True story. A close relative of mine moved to the sleepy town of Dixon back in 2007. I would make the trek (3 hours round trip) to see that this elderly relative was getting along ok. Every time I drove into that town I would say: "ugh what a dismal one horse town". Ha! It seems that it was more than a one horse town.
I cannot believe the tax paying residents there are not running the mayor out .

Then I turn to James D.G. Dunn, The Epistles to the Colossians and to Philemon: A Commentary on the Greek Text (New International Greek Testament Commentary) . As always, rigorous, creative, and theologically suggestive. [Full Review]
There are parts of this commentary that were very helpful. For students doing more in depth study on the book of Colossians, this book would be recommended, but if you are a pastor or Bible study leader, perhaps Garland and Wright would be better places to start. I will say here that I have always avoided commentaries in this series feeling they would be to technical since the title included "Greek." I have not studied Greek and though I enjoy when commentaries can help me understand Greek words or structures and how it effects the meaning, I do not like when commentaries will write long sentences in Greek and then not explain or transliterate. I assumed this series might fall in the second category – technical and for scholars. But I checked this one out on Google Books and was pleasantly surprised at its ease of reading. It is based on the Greek text and he explains it where needed. But he does not let Greek get in the way of communicating clearly and effectively his ideas. Do not let the label "technical" on this commentary scare you away. I am now looking forward to checking out some other commentaries in this serious I had stayed away from.
James D. G. Dunn's well-known and formidable exegetical skills are amply displayed in his new commentary on Colossians and Philemon for the New International Greek Testament Commentary series. On both these texts Dunn offers balanced and reasonable readings that will certainly become essential moments in scholarly discussion of these texts. One of the expressed purposes of the NIGTC series is that the commentaries "interact with modern scholarship" (p. x). Few persons could manage that task as well as Dunn has here. He is consistently fair to scholars with whom he does not agree and to exegetical options he does not hold. At each point of debate, he states clearly and equitably the readings he himself does not maintain and then provides forceful argument for his own readings. This volume thus becomes a wonderful exegetical resource for at least two reasons: first, Dunn offers persuasive and plausible readings of these texts and, second, he provides a wealth of information on scholarly debate on these texts. Typical of Dunn's balance and fairness is his decision about authorship. After giving sympathetic accounts of the arguments both for and against Pauline authorship, he attempts to strike a balance between them. Colossians, he argues, was written by Timothy under Paul's direction (from either Rome or Ephesus in the mid-50s). Thus Dunn can state that "the distinction between 'Pauline' and 'post-Pauline' as applied to Colossians becomes relatively unimportant" (p. 38). In some ways, this is a satisfying solution to the peculiar puzzle of the relationship of Colossians to the rest of the Pauline corpus. It is by Paul; it is not by Paul. [Full Review]

Petrohradské PADání 2010 Empfehlunggeschrieben von Udo Neumann
- Schriftgröße Schriftgröße verkleinern Schrift vergrößern
The Petrohradské PADání 2010 again was a wonderful event! Taking place in the newly developed "Mlynsky Vrch" area we also the had the weather gods on our side. Some complained that it was too hot, but this didn't keep Adam Ondra from doing the FA of "Stix, sd", 8B+ and three 8Bs as well as several 8As over the weekend! Also starring two times lead world champion Tomáš Mrázek...
above: Adam Ondra, first ascent of "Stix, sd", read on for our reports of the 2006 and 2009 PADanis...
Petrohradské PADání 2009
What a lovely event that is! We met in the village of Petrohrad, Petr Resch led us to this years' area, where everybody, armed with the brand new guidebook tried to solve as many of the stunning granit problems as possible. The weather gods were gentle this year and we had two great days in the Czech forest. I mainly shot stills for my upcoming bouldering book this time. Some sequences are shot so rapidly that it makes for an entertaining slideshow. Enjoy!
Petrohradské PADání 2006
above: the only time it didn't rain was just for the duration of the PADani 2006!
Despite the ugly weather in central Europe these last couple of weeks Simon and I managed to boulder five days straight, first in the Fichtlgebirge and than in Petrohrad. To make a long story short, Pedrohrad is an incredible granit area with huge potential, sitting in a magical old grown forest. On saturday, they had the "Petrohradské PADání 2006" there, an outdoor bouldering contest that took place in a before "secret" location. We were given the brand new guide book and a list of problems. Some of the problems felt a bit overly defined, but that doesn't matter if you are visiting the area for soulbouldering I guess. For eight hours Pedrohrad was propably the only place in central Europe without rain and we enjoyed this nice event tremendously (except that I found 3 ticks on my body the next day). We are planning to return to Pedrohrad in late fall when the leaves are gone (and hopefully the ticks too!) and the air is drier. Highly recommended!

Hi everyone! We're in the kitchen again, and this time we're taking a break from baking and doing something nutritionists don't do all that often, FRYING up a batch of Gwyneth's Classic French Fries.
Before this kitchen experiment took place, only one of us had any deep frying experience (Willow's made fresh fish and chips with her parents.) Steph, well, she's only WATCHED her mom make two deep fried dishes her family has about once a year — fried calamari and buffalo wings. We aren't the most experienced deep frying team, but we were up for the challenge — especially since the product was a yummy treat (fries are definitely one of our favorite, "once it a while" foods.)
Stay tuned for Gwyneth's healthier baked version…. which we're tackling tomorrow.
It seems like these fries are a special family tradition for Gwyneth. Does anyone else have a special family recipe that's deep fried? How often do you eat it?

One of the tasks that sometimes is really difficult specially if it is done manually is preparing an expense report that is intended to be submitted to managers, accountants and / or executives. But with the availability of technology today, the trouble of preparing it and submission process is cut down into easy steps.

Expense management is much easier and convenient both for the employees and the management through the use of expense reporting software that can be subscribed on a very light and rewarding.
Imagine this, paper receipts can be scanned and immediately send to a cloud server where users can easily retrieve it later and use for preparing expense report. Then, managers, accountants and executives can easily receive these reports through just simply tap of the keyboard and click of the mouse. The reimbursement and auditing process will be much faster compared to manual steps. Aside from that, it can be done by them anywhere they are, even they are on a business travel or somewhere having seminars or conferences outside the country as long as there is internet access.

Microsoft announced in a press release today that Internet Explorer 8 will be available for download at noon EDT today. Users who want the new version asap will have to select to download it manually from http://www.microsoft.com/ie8 as Microsoft won't be pushing it via automatic update right away, according to a CNET article.
Microsoft has been promoting IE 8's security features and compatibility with web standards. It claims that IE 8 "blocks two to four times as many malicious sites as other browsers on the market today" according to a study by NSS Labs. It also claims that IE 8 is "one of the fastest browsers on the market today, beating other top browsers in page load time on almost 50 percent." In neither instance does it specify which of the other browsers it is using for comparison.
I'm looking forward to checking the new version out; I've resisted downloading any of the preview builds. Microsoft lost me to Firefox a long time ago, but IE 8 hits when my browser choice is a bit unsettled. I've been running Safari 4 beta on my Macs recently, and have been dabbling with Google Chrome on my Windows machines.
What about you? Are you a stalwart IE user looking forward to a new version, or does your heart belong to another? Will you be grabbing IE 8 at noon, or waiting to see how the browser performs for others before you subject yourself to the unknown?

There are two races in 2011: offroadfinnmark 700 and offroadfinnmark 300.
With this application you can follow OF300 and OF700.
offroadfinnmark 700 is a 700 km/435 miles long one-stage offroad bicycle race, with a prologue from sea-level height Kåfjord to the Haldde summit, at 904 m/2965 feet m.s.l. The winning team of 2010, KTM-Proteinfabrikken (Jon Kristian Svaland and Tor Halvor Bjørnstad) spent 69 hours and 29 minutes finishing the race, having spent 14 hours and 40 minutes at various checkpoints. The race track course is mainly on cart roads and singletrack mountain paths across Finnmarksvidda, Finnmark's mountain plateau. The topography is challenging and the average pace is approximately 12 km/h / 7.4 mph.
offroadfinnmark 700 is a competition for teams of 2 or 3 riders. While frequently on technically demanding terrain, the race contains elements of bicycle orienteering using GPS and maps. The race takes place during the warmest part of the Finnmark summer, taking advantage of the midnight sun shining 24 hours a day. The better part of the course takes the rider through a truly wild arctic natural environment.
To finish the offroadfinnmark 700 race, all competitors need to be extremely fit and of optimal physical health. Good team spirit and cooperation skills are also crucial for attaining the best possible team performance and for making the right tactical decisions.
Offroadfinnmark 300 is, in terms of terrain, the finest outback experience to be had. It is 300 km/186 miles long, going past 4 checkpoints, 3 mountain cabins and a community house. The 2010 winners was Kjetil Johansen and Daniel Leirbakken. They completed the race in 22 hours and 39 minutes, having spent only 2 hours and 10 minutes at the various checkpoints.

Costume Photos
Costume Information
|Cost :
|Scraps, Alterations and things best left in the closet...
|Time Taken :
|Most time consuming part - The Gun!
|Assembled, piece by piece, for a spontaneous photoshoot on a rare sunny day.
I built the gun from nothing except plumbing spares and a strong sense of determination. Of course, as always, I burnt my fingers on the glue gun. This time, it occured when I was relining the top hat with replacement velvet and adding buckles to my pre-existing boots.
The deck sunglasses are my pride and joy. I hope you like them!
Felicity Harbours was very creatively named by Emi, and the photographs were taken by my good friend and occasional cosplay partner Luke, with a sepia filter to create the Steampunk aesthetic.
I realise this is quite a typical, and not very special costume, but please excuse me as I am very much still a novice as you probably have guessed. To know all is to forgive all.
Much love...

MONTREAL — Members of a Catholic religious order in the Quebec City area were in shock Thursday after hearing a colleague had been shot to death in Haiti just one week before he was due to return home.
Richard E. Joyal, a 62-year-old member of the Marian order, was killed as he left a bank in the capital of Port-au-Prince.
Police said Joyal had just withdrawn $1,000 at about 10:30 a.m. when two men on a motorcycle approached and grabbed a bag he was carrying.
The passenger shot him three times in the back.
Father Marc Turcotte, a Marian priest, said his colleague was in Haiti to help relocate students after the earthquake of January 2010.
"It's terrible news, it's dreadful," he told The Canadian Press. "I don't understand."
The religious congregation is in the process of closing its mission, which first opened in the early 2000s.
"We were trying to find places for a number of young people, seven or eight, where they could continue their studies," Turcotte said Thursday. "He (Joyal) was there in Haiti to take care of them."
Father Irenee Breton, another Marian priest, said the mission was told it should close down its operations.
"He (Joyal) was due to return here May 3," Breton said.
Authorities later found the $1,000 in Joyal's wallet and confiscated the money.
The contents of Joyal's billfold included a driver's licence showing he was from Quebec.
An identification card showed he was a priest who worked as an administrator for the Canadian congregation in the Delmas district.
Police investigating the shooting in Delmas redirected traffic on one of the busiest thoroughfares in the capital.
Canada sharpened its travel advisory to Haiti in December, citing high crime rates in various parts of the country and ongoing political tensions.
Its website says the Marians of the Immaculate Conception are a congregation of more than 500 priests and brothers in 19 countries around the world.

Legislation tabled by Manitoba's New Democratic government has led to questions how far provinces should go in ensuring universities prepare graduates for the workplace.
Bill 63, proposed in April by James Allum, the education and advanced learning minister, would have allowed his ministry to approve the creation, removal and modification of programs at all post-secondary institutions in the province.
The minister could also set a mandate for schools in consultation with them, but retained the final authority to make a decision, to avoid "unnecessary duplication of effort and expense."
"The objective of the bill simply was to streamline the decision-making process in the post-secondary education system so that we can reduce red tape and paperwork for universities and colleges," Mr. Allum said.
The proposals were met by alarm in educational circles. Many institutions were worried about their independence and feared they would be shut out of the decision-making process.
Lloyd Axworthy, president of the University of Winnipeg and former federal Foreign Affairs minister under Jean Chrétien, said the veto powers as originally implied would have interfered with the school's "institutional autonomy."
It's really a question of the fundamentals of decision making and the importance that universities retain a degree of independence in their ability to determine what they teach and what they research
"It's really a question of the fundamentals of decision making and the importance that universities retain a degree of independence in their ability to determine what they teach and what they research," he said.
Harvey Weingarten, head of the Higher Education Quality Council of Ontario, said the government's place is as an active facilitator — not as an arbitrator — in the discussion between universities and employers, to ensure students are provided with skills needed for the workforce.
"I'm not sure that you should look to government necessarily to dictate the solution," he said.
"The first order of business is to go to institutions and to allow them to tell you what they do best, what is special about them. Once you start by people articulating how they perceive themselves, their futures and their mandates, then we can have an intelligent discussion about how we best orchestrate the system to deliver the best quality product to students."
Added James Turk, head of the Canadian Association of University Teachers, it's the government's duty to respect the inherent mandate of all universities, which is to serve the public interest.
"When you start giving the state the ability to say 'no, you can't do this,' or 'if you want to do this, you have to have my permission,' you really undermine the very rationale for a university in the first place," he said.
The ultimate consumers — students — should also be involved in the process, said Rorie McLeod Arnould, president of the University of Winnipeg Students' Association.
"As environmental movements pick up and as the movement that opposes them also grows stronger, we see very competing political dialogues happening on university campuses," he said.
"We want to make sure that the political motivation of the government is not able to deter a university from teaching environmental studies or that in some dystopic future, for example, women's and gender studies is not a priority for our government, and thus they choose not to teach it."
In the face of such opposition, the government backed down.
Now, the bill would give the minister power to "advise and assist" schools, helping them to develop their own mandates. Clarification was also added to ensure the government "respects the appropriate autonomy of educational institutions and the recognized principals of academic freedom."
But Wayne Ewasko, the Progressive Conservatives' education critic, said he would like to see the bill withdrawn.
"We're getting to the point of basically top-down governance," he said, adding the original vision put forward by the bill was "basically a dictatorship."

Carrot, oat and orange muffins recipe
Ring the changes at breakfast time with these yummy muffin. Tasty and light, they're perfect for sneaking more veggies into the kids when they're not looking too!
After school snacks, Breakfast, Cakes & Baking, Healthy recipes, Hidden vegetables, Muffins
- 3 1/4 cups plain flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 4 tsp baking powder
- 2 eggs
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 cup sugar
- zest of 2 oranges
- 125g butter, melted
- 1 cup (250ml) milk, at room temperature
- 1 cup (250ml) natural yoghurt
- 1 cup grated carrot
- 1 cup porridge oats
Preheat oven to 180°C conventional or 160°C fan-forced. Line a 12-hole muffin tray with paper cases.
Sift the flour, baking soda and baking powder together. In a separate bowl, mix the zest and sugar together with your fingers.
Whisk the eggs and yolk together in another bowl and add the butter, milk and yoghurt. Whisk well. Add the orange sugar and whisk again.
Fold through the dry ingredients and gently fold in the oats and carrots.
Spoon batter into lined muffin tins and either store in the fridge or freezer until needed or pop straight in the oven for 20 minutes until golden brown on top.
- You can also freeze the baked muffins to have to hand later.
- Feel free to throw in a handful of blueberries, craisins or other chopped fruit.
- This batter makes more than my 12-hole muffin tin so I set the leftover batter aside and then do another 6 or so when the tin's free!

1. Which routes can you use to get to the cave? Is it \"Rhino on the city hall steps\" and \"fight the feeling\"?
2. How sheltered is it if it rains heavily?
3. How many can it sleep?

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
Brandon Spikes does a great job of tackling tight ends — on and off the field.
On the field, the Patriots tape game footage (legally of course. We wouldn't want another Spygate would we?) of their rookie linebacker and review that game footage to make him better.
Off the field, Spikes apparently taped a sexual encounter with a fine-looking woman in a hotel room while on the website Chatroulette.
One man offered to sell the video to Deadspin for $1,500, claiming he had the video and was willing to sell it. Deadspin declined, but the video appeared on the website WorldStarHipHop hours later. I have not included the link on purpose…but you can find what you're looking for by searching 'WorldStarHipHop + Brandon Spikes' in Google.
My curiosity got the best of me, and I went looking for the video. It took a while to navigate WorldStarHipHop's website due to the fact it's loaded with ads. I browsed down to posts made on Aug. 30, and as long as you're 18+ (or just acknowledge that you are), you get free access to the video. And…yes…it's basically porn on webcam, with a man that looks just like Brandon Spikes, and a woman resembling Kim Kardashian (but it's definitely not her, just a look-a-like).
Anyway, the NFL is now investigating the video of Spikes to see if it violates the NFL's Personal Conduct Policy. Frankly, it just might, so I would imagine the rookie linebacker (who was probably slated to start) will miss some time due to a suspension (maybe one game?).

The heart-wrenching roller coaster ride of emotions continues for the family of Carl "Little CJ" Melton III, the 14-month-old Perry boy recently diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor.
On Tuesday, a doctor at Arnold Palmer Children's Hospital in Orlando said there was nothing that could be done for the toddler at this time due to where the tumor (which doctors say is malignant) is located.

how many pounds of food?
how many pounds of food do your cats go through? How many cats do you have? how big are they?

- Cast your vote for which answer you think is best!
During the Winter my two cats went through about 2-3 pounds of cat food a month. We supplement their food with fresh meat and they steal from the dog when he has wet food.
I have a 2 pound bag of cat food that I bought at the beginning of May that has not been opened yet. Between my neighbours feeding and them eating what they catch they probably won't require food again until the Fall. The dog will probably have to eat the cat food. Whenever we bar-b-que they get the trimmings off whatever is grilling.
Member 1075647 answered on 6/24/12. Helpful? / 0
I honestly don't keep track. I buy a 15 pound bag of ProPlan Indoor and two 6 pound bags of Royal Canin Oral Sensitive and I buy more of each when it starts to get low. Probably once a month. I have 9 Persians ranging in size from 5 lbs to 12 lbs and one Ragdoll who is 15 lbs. I would probably use a lot more if I was using the cheaper brands with more fillers and by-products but these 2 have pretty good quality ingredients and meat as the main ingredients.
Allie answered on 6/25/12. Helpful? / 0
Poundage is something I don't keep a lot of track of because the majority of my cat's diet consists of a wet diet. I feed them about an 80% to 20% dry diet. Their wet food is usually Nutro Natural Choice and Nutro Max. Their kibble is also Nutro Max. I have 4 cats. I also buy different brands of wet now and then to mix their diet up with different flavors and textures. You can find the Nutro products I mentioned at

Wi-Fi networking is supposed to be simple. So why do so many people tear their hair out when trying to configure their wireless networks?It's all about the details. In this book, Wi-Fi experts Glenn Fleishman and Adam Engst put AirPort through its paces, teaching you in step-by-step, illustrated examples about how to remove the frustration in your configuration. The book covers the range of your AirPort and Wi-Fi needs, starting with how to pick the appropriate base station and adapter card--Apple is often best, but it's worth considering alternatives. It tells you how to determine the best place for your Wi-Fi equipment, and then how to configure your base station and computer for precisely your needs. A long section explains setting up your own dynamic addressing, a common need for home networks with a mix of computers and needs. Next, the book covers six ways to improve your network's coverage area and range, providing higher speeds at longer distances. Finally, you find out about securing your network: both keeping intruders out and securing the data that passes over the network. Four appendices cover related issues, including AirPort Express configuration, setting up a software base station, using AirPort Management Utilities, and finding the right Wi-Fi adapter for an older Mac or PC.

We came in at #60 which isn't too bad. Pretty laid back here :)
# 46 here
#36 on the Mid-Size list - Biloxi-Gulfport-Pascagoula, MS
As opposed to where I used to live...
#70 on the largest metro cities list - Bergen-Passaic, NJ
Suffice it to say that being #36 on the mid-size list is a LOT, LOT, LOT, LOT less stressful than being #70 on the large city list!!
The town I grew up in and lived in for 20 some odd years, is ranked at #18.
No wonder I am so crazy! :lol:
The town I currently live in, is #44 on the mid size :)
Are you kidding me? Orange County is 98th? That's got to be the most BS I've ever heard. I have never been in a more stressful environment in my entire life!
First off, the traffic here is the WORST I have ever been in. It takes me an hour to move 5 miles on the highway during rushhour. Let's not even get into El Toro and Moulton.
Second, eveyone here is so quick to judge everyone else. I sometimes make late-night runs to the local Ralph's and usually just wear my PJ's, aka sweats, sandals, and a t-shirt. But man the way people look at me, you'd think I was from Mars.
It's like everyone has to look a certain way, or else you're some sort of freak. And then there are those who try to show they're not part of the clique by being part of another click, lol.
Third, it's all about the Green down in OC. When I lived in San Diego or the Bay Area, my coworkers and I went out after work on a regular basis. We'd hit a bar, the movies, a restaurant, whatever. Here, no one does that, and I'm still working for the same company! Everyone either stays late or goes straight home. It's like they don't want to know you, they're just here to work and make dough.
Fourth, for some reason, no one likes to say "Hi" to strangers or people they meet. Call it friendliness or common courtesy, but when I first moved down here, I used to say "Hi" or "How're you doing" if I passed someone on the sidewalk. Only once did I ever receive a response. Most of the times, the person just ignored me, some people actually tried to avoid me.
Fifth, cost of living. I don't know HOW the average American can afford to live in this place. I remember talking to a coworker from Tacoma during a company-wide meeting. He's about my age, 25, and just bought an acre plot of land with a 15 year old ranch house on it for $150,000. First off, I don't think there are any residential zones in So Cal that can afford a single plot of land that large. Secondly, if there were, I'm sure they'd be going for well over $1 million each. Ironically enough, I remember him telling me "Yea, I'm not sure how you people make it down here".
Sixth, let's go back to traffic for a moment. Like I said, I've lived all up and down California and have driven in pretty much every part of the state. But Orange County is the only place I have ever seen someone changing their clothes WHILST driving! It's not like I was trying to look, but you can't help but notice when they almost sideswipe your car. Also, I once handled an auto accident that was part of a freak "group" of accidents in one intersection. Apparently, three separate accidents occured, one right after another and all with different vehicles. I'll never forget the police report on that one, "Driver A was on their cell phone...Driver B was on their cell phone..."
I don't know about anyone else, but between being socially ostracized and/or getting into an accident with a naked man, living in OC is pretty stressful to me.
this is bs! New Orleans #3? Yeah right buddy! Tacoma more stressful than New Orleans? I doubt it!
Yeah, I am going to question this survey too. I have never been there, but I find it difficult to believe that Tacoma, WA is the most stressful place in the US. It is more stressful than NYC? Where is Bubba? Did they factor in the terror threats? Portland, OR, higher than Bergen-Passaic? One of the most densely populated areas in the country. My gosh, I was thinking of moving to the Pacific Northwest to get away from all of the NY/NJ Metro area craziness!
There is something I just don't understand about this survey. I would love to know more about the way they came to their conclusions.
Sorry, I don't put much stock in this one! :roll:
New Orleans drivers are the WORST, haha. I thought NJ drivers were aggressive - they need to drive the Causeway at rush hour. Ruthless!
To me, the biggest contributor to stress is traffic. If people say hi to me or not, I don't care. But having to deal with lines and waiting and traffic is what will raise anyone's stress levels. That's why Long Island, NY and Los Angeles, CA need to be on the top of every list.
Now, I get ticked when big ole John is pulling a trailer full of horses or cattle and he is hugging the passing lane all the way to Denver!
To add to my first post, the NY/NJ Metro area was just determined to have the highest occurances of heart disease and heart attacks in the country. Did they take this into consideration?? :roll:
Mail Order rules. I did an Ebay Christmas this last year and it was the least stressful holiday season I've ever had.
One of my bro in-laws lives in cali right now. Everything he has said about it could not be said in here. It would violate the forum rules... I don't know if I want to visit as a tourist. Besides that, all the people that I've met from there act like they forgot to take their metamucil and think they are all that. Not until they met me hahaha!
I moved from Chicago to LA and now I live in San Jose. What a difference California is. I really cant stand the people here. No one is frendly and they all have the it's all about me attitude. And the driving is horrible. I am used to traffic but people do the dumbest things on the roads here. It's common practice for people to cut over 4 lanes so they don't miss their exit. And when I honk at them they look at me like they didn't do anything wrong. Oh well. Now I just need to find a job outside California.

"Book of Colors sounds like that elf you meet way out in the woods strumming a harp made of dreams and rainbows. And his band is a tough gang of unicorns high on Gummi juice." -Artlantis

"Book of Colors is one of Atlanta's best kept secrets, but that might just change with the arrival of its debut record." -Creative Loafing
read the full Creative Loafing interview here.
"However you choose to label them, Book of Colors is André's way of leveraging our talented community, and this debut album is the gift he's given back." -OpenEars Music
read the full OpenEars article here.
The much-anticipated debut album from Book of Colors came out February 5th, 2016 on Deer Bear Wolf Records. This first, self-titled record sees Book of Colors' mastermind André Paraguassu surrounded by an impressive cast of fourteen players that includes members of Little Tybee, Adron, Ryan Gregory (Christ, Lord, Lily and the Tigers), and Chris Childs (Hello Ocho, Faun and a Pan Flute). Recorded by Ben Price at studilaroche in Atlanta, Book of Colors is a dreamy and hypnotic journey, constantly skirting the edge between torn-open soulfulness and delicate restraint.
"There is an amazing music scene happening in Atlanta right now. It's a major city overflowing with world-class talent, but the amount of camaraderie within the artistic community makes it feel like a small town," André says as he reclines lazily on the classically southern front porch of their drummer's home in Little Five Points where they rehearse. "I've always loved playing with large ensembles and this city has been the gift that keeps on giving in that regard. Everyone is so supportive and eager to collaborate. I feel incredibly lucky to be working in such an inspiring creative atmosphere."
The arrangements for all ten songs on Book of Colors are notably dense. Vocal harmonies and instruments seem to stretch off into infinity in every direction with orchestral elements such as the violin, viola, marimba, vibraphone, and flute blending seamlessly with horns, piano, organ, pedal steel, guitars, and synthesizers. The result is a collection of songs with a unique, fully realized sound that's simultaneously genuine and refined.
The first track on the album, "Why Don't You," pairs African percussion instruments with distinctly Middle-Eastern harmonic scales. A heavy rhythm & blues bass line and gritty Rhodes piano move the song steadily forward as it eventually swells into an ocean of overlapping harmonies and rhythms. The voices multiply and build in intensity until they become a mass of screaming and muttering, finally dropping away as the band returns to its initial slow groove. It's a fitting start to an album that takes a multitude of unexpected turns and weaves together a wide array of seemingly incongruous styles.
Even when he's employing a sense of irony, as in the smirking epic "Oh Your Backwards Smile," Paraguassu never hides behind his tricks. He is a songwriter who faces weariness with childlike wonder, pain with wisdom, and indignation with unrelenting sweetness. It's music that feels nostalgic the first time you hear it, like an old friend you didn't know you had.
André's list of songwriting influences is long and eclectic, but the majority of artists and albums he mentions are from the sixties and early seventies, with a heavy slant toward music made in the UK, Brazil, France, and the southern United States during that time period. As such, traces of Nick Drake, Harry Nilsson, Otis Redding, and Sam Cooke can all be heard in his vocal delivery, with dark raspy low notes and a soaring, bell-like upper register. Psychedelic elements that bring Broadcast, Pink Floyd, and Caetano Veloso to mind mix with introspective lyrics and symphonic orchestration in Paraguassu's often complex song structures.
Book of Colors has played alongside national and international acts that include Kishi Bashi, Bright Black Morning Light, Horse Feathers, Della Mae, Holy Ghost Tent Revival, and Streets of Laredo. They've also performed in numerous festivals and events in and around Atlanta and the Southeastern United States.
Book of Colors is the 11th release in less than two years for Deer Bear Wolf Records. It's available on CD, cassette, or digital download.

Apparently the Dems are concerned about the tidal wave of negative votes that they're going to get this fall her in California.
Not here, not now, not in Ca? What kinda pledge is that?
BTW, it really does look like Boxer is SCARED that she's going to lose her seat. She's already making negative ad noises.
