My pick for the most important book of 2013 is the new collection of Wendell Berry's Sabbath Poems, entitled This Day. I'll admit that it was a really close call between this book and David Mikics's volume Slow Reading in a Hurried Age, but Berry's book wins by a nose as it takes a broader view, and offers not only carefully-crafted poems, but a way of living and being in the world. Slow Reading starts to move in the same direction, but never seems to look much beyond the scope of the reader, his or her book and its author.I posted a sample poem from Berry's collection on this blog … [Read more...]

Liberty Hyde Bailey Poetry Reflections
One of the great gifts of my writing retreat at the Convent in Cincinnati last week (here's a glimpse inside the Convent's own story of stability, written by one of my fellow retreatants) was the realization of how important Liberty Hyde Bailey's work, and especially his poetry, has been in framing the concept of Slow Church in my head and in the life I share in community with others at Englewood Christian Church.Liberty Hyde Bailey was one of the most prominent American botanists of the early twentieth century, who taught at the university that would become Michigan State and then later … [Read more...]

Here's some big news: According to The Hollywood Reporter, 20th Century Fox is developing a new Sesame Street movie.
There are hardly any details so far, but the Reporter article says Sesame head writer/Murray Monster performer Joey Mazzarino will be writing the script, while Shawn Levy will be co-producing. Levy has had some hits with the family-friendly Night at the Museum movies, so I'll go ahead and bet three dollars right now that he'll end up directing as well.
The Reporter also says: "It is likely that Sesame Workshop… would be involved in a producer capacity as well." My reaction: Well, I should hope so.
So now it's time for the fun part: Rumors and speculation! Which characters will be prominently featured in the movie? Will it be aimed squarely at the young'uns like Elmo in Grouchland, or will it be have a more general-audiences feel like Follow That Bird? Will it even get made? I can't wait to find out!
Thanks to Tough Pigs' own Kenny for the alert! Click here to be written by Joey Mazzarino on the Tough Pigs forum!

As the year end approaches, the Bearbull Income Portfolio seems to be pottering along quite happily. After the first week of December, its capital value was up 8.8 per cent on the start of the year, a touch more than the FTSE All-Share index. True, £5,000 of the fund's capital is due to be paid out as the year-end distribution. Still, if we're talking about distributions, there is also the end-June pay-out to bring into the reckoning. Include that, and the fund's total return is 10.9 per cent so far this year. To say that I'd settle for such a return every year is an understatement.

His pals had lamented the added burden of rising gas prices and increased taxes, noting that making ends meet was becoming increasingly difficult. More than a couple said they were cutting back on dining out, vacations and other spending.

"MADISON, Wis. -- Wisconsin Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen said people who openly carry firearms shouldn't automatically be charged with disorderly conduct.
He made the statement in an advisory opinion mailed on Monday to the state's district attorneys.
The state constitution allows people to openly carry firearms for lawful purposes, including hunting.
Van Hollen said that in some circumstances openly carrying a firearm might warrant a disorderly conduct charge. But he says other facts and circumstances should be considered before automatically charging someone with disorderly conduct simply for carrying a firearm in the open.
Wisconsin is one of two states where it is illegal to carry a concealed weapon." :congrats::congrats::congrats:
It may be a small step, but here's to 2010 and ridding Wisconsin of the Curse of Governor J Doyle and his Concealed Carry Veto pen!

My teenaged daughter sustained a brain injury in a car accident more than a year ago. Now she has no motivation and wants to sleep or sit in front of the television all day. What can I do to get her up and more involved?
Your daughter's lack of motivation may stem from a number of factors. One, she is a teenager — not the most motivated developmental age group. But after a brain injury these tendencies may be drastically exacerbated.
A second factor is that she is likely recognizing that she is not able to do some of the things she used to enjoy at the level that she use to enjoy them, and is feeling a lack of confidence in her ability to do them at all. Teens are particularly loathe to stand out from the crowd for making a mistake, and your daughter may be avoiding participation in activities in order to avoid embarrassment.
A third factor to consider is that she may feel overwhelmed by activities more complex than sitting in front of the television, and may not have developed effective strategies to manage situations which she finds overwhelming. So, for example, the prospect of getting involved again with band may be too overwhelming for her to contemplate, but practicing her flute for 10-15 minutes a day might be more manageable.
Finally, your daughter's apparent lack of motivation may be a function of the brain injury itself. Parts of the brain are responsible for alertness and initiation of activity. Frontal lobe involvement may make it difficult for her to engage in activities even if she has a desire to do so. Diffuse axonal injury may induce a level of physical and cognitive fatigue even with what may appear to be a simple activity. A neuropsychological assessment will be able to determine which of these factors are having an impact on your daughter. She may benefit from some cognitive rehabilitation to help her to be better able to initiate and manage a more active lifestyle. Some counseling with a therapist who is familiar with the effects of brain injury in adolescents should also provide some support and strategies to rebuild her self-confidence.
You can help her look at some of the activities she used to enjoy or may be interested in and talk about ways to break them down into more manageable units.
Enlist the assistance of her friends. Look for a mechanism to help them to understand your daughter's brain injury, so that they can provide support and a sense of security for her. Many friends back away because they do not know how to react; engage them in the recovery process and they will be more likely to stick around.

Comments [7]
I had TBI, frontal lobe, 30 years ago. I have terrible trouble getting motivated and staying motivated. One thing that helps (sometimes) is turning off the TV and using a timer. Then I get bored. But I "try" to use it as a reward. 1/2 hour of cleaning (which I hate) and a 15 minute reward of TV. Still trying to perfect this system though. 😇
It stinks when you're no longer the capable person you were pre-tbi, and for a teenager that has to be especially hard. No doubt you already do a good job empathizing with her. Maybe try expanding from empathy to celebration of even the small things she's doing. Give her a genuine compliment whenever she accomplishes even the tiniest thing that takes focus, or organization, or planning, or extended effort - or any of the things she used to be able to do so easily. Maybe keep a little diary (a scratchpad would do) to jot down a word or two about what you saw her do that was worth a compliment. Then maybe once a week or every few weeks, take a look at that scratch pad & see what she's done. Share it with her so she can see she's making progress. Does she use facebook? Maybe suggest she connect with a brain injury group that way - folks who know what it's like to walk a mile in her shoes. It'll take time and effort and patience and help and enthusiasm, and maybe especially new tips & tricks to do familiar tasks. She needs you to believe in her to help her believe in herself again, and she needs you to be genuine - no fake happy faces. Best of luck for both of you.
Yes, try & do nice things maybe go to countryside or park. Relaxing activities. I have had multiple PCS/tbi & trauma. It is winter & feel even less motivated now. The GP shouted at me & minimises & denies tbi which I know it is. It takes time to heal.
Having had a severe Brain Injury myself I know how she is feeling. Her brain is working but ever so slowly and thinking and responding to people is very difficult. You need to allow her to relax. Watch her closely and offer her things she liked before the brain injury. Life is ever so different. Nothing is easy but you don't have any connection with reality as the rest of the family and friends do around you. Be there for her. Keep it simple. Don't change routines or she will become more frustrated. Put things back where they were so she can find them. Having to lay around is a way of coping the best way you can. In time she will start to get it together. In the meantime walk at her speed and don't expect the old daughter responses. Some challenging activities can be introduced like buying a carton of milk at the shop. I can remember going across the road to buy 3 things and having to come back 5 times to ask again what they were. Then My wife gave me the list. That worked.
Most of what I wanted to say has been said by these other contributors. Well said!
I haven't lost any of my motivation, but I am frustrated daily with how mental fatigue over activities as simple as making a "to do" list can wipe me out to the point that I see flashing lights, get completely thrown off-topic by the simplest interruption (which most people would not consider significant enough to count as an interruption). I frequently take what I intend to be a half-hour nap around 10:00 am, fully expecting and desiring to get back to the project I started, only to wake at 4:00 pm with no more mental energy than when I got up in the morning. Then, if I hear a comment about lacking motivation on top of the frustration I have already endured, the emotional pressure builds to a point that I have to leave an take a nap or risk loosing control, and shouting nonsense in a state of rage.
I haven't done that in a long time, because after much discussion, my family understands the need to let me rest when I need rest. But even though my family understands, I don't really understand, and I deal with a lot of false guilt over the things I don't do that I so strongly want to do.
Thank you for pointing out that apparent lack of motivation does not mean the same thing in a TBI survivor than it would otherwise. When every step of every decision requires filtering of dozens of related, but ultimately inapplicable ideas, a person with very high internal motivation can come across to others as distant, and uninterested. There may also be some depression involved in understanding that some former abilities may never be regained, but we all have abilities we never explored, and for every lost ability, a previously neglected ability may take its place. Long term, there is plenty of cause for hope. Another reason not to be too quick with a diagnosis of depression is that an injured brain can be loosing neurons due to excessive levels of neurotransmitters released by dying neurons, in a cascade that could be exacerbated with antidepressants. Rest, and careful monitoring of the balance of inflammation may be the best approach during the first two years after an injury. Too much inflammation may cause more neurons to die, but too little inflammation may prevent healing. Hånell, A. (2011). Plasticity and Inflammation following Traumatic Brain Injury.

My TBI has had many things come and fewer of these go, which can be quite depressing. I suffered a brain and spine injury when a careless employer slammed a large 600+ pound overhead fast falling shop door on my head, causing me multiple issues from blown discs in my cervical and lumbar to narcolepsy, which is extremely expensive to treat using Xyrem and central apnea. The brain is a complex organ and when it is damaged or bruised, can take a toll on the rest of the body. About all I can suggest is to try and stay positive and keep your head up. Don't let the voices of negativity bring you down, and believe me many sadly will try when at a time as critical as this, you need their support. Stimulate your mind with mental exercise, go back to school, read if you can and if you find yourself not enjoying the occasional glass of wine, music, television, or crowd, this I have learned is quite normal. Don't be too hard on yourself and don't give up. Good luck, God bless or what ever you do, because somehow you can make it.

Alongside Detective Constable Kate Fleming (Vicky McClure), they are assigned to lead an investigation into the alleged corruption by a popular and successful officer, Detective Chief Inspector Tony Gates (Lennie James). While Gates cleverly manipulates his unit's figures, DS Arnott questions whether Gates's being made a scapegoat for a culture of institutionalised spin, or is guilty of darker corruption?

Moments later, we came upon a bank that had been mowed like a putting green.
Small's fifth shot was in the long grass just off the edge and to the right of the putting green.
You can only get quite bright red by putting green round it.
He was irritated, and made no secret of it, but his irritation did not keep him from dropping the next shot on the putting green.
I met her ladyship on the putting green of the ninth hole of the golf course.
Then we retire to a vantage point on the left, and fire over the heads of our immediate successors on the putting green.
It is apparent that a golf ball on a putting green sinks into the turf.
The pony backed upon a putting green and bucked again, this time dislodging his rider.
The table may be arranged with a "putting green" in the centre made of a square of sponge cake frosted with pistachio.
The ball carried in the rough seventy-five yards from the putting green, and disappeared without even a bounce.

It would be impossible to create a more perverse or cruel commentary on Cup heroics. Kingstonian, mocking their lowly status near the bottom of the Conference, were on their way to the fifth round - until the fourth minute of injury time.
In their dug-out, the occupants were shouting for the referee to blow for time. Their supporters were poised for the celebratory yells. It seemed certain that Bristol City were about to become the Surrey club's eighth Cup victims from the Football League.
The Ks packed the penalty area as Scott Murray's out-swinging corner came over. Lee Peacock nudged it on to Tony Thorpe, the leading scorer who had remained on the bench until after the interval. He, awkwardly positioned, stabbed the ball past Gavin Kelly, the talented 19-year-old on loan from Spurs and Kingstonian's seventh keeper of the season.
It was the last kick of the match. What followed gave the lie to the idea that soccer long ago lost its soul. The collective dejection was almost tangible. Half the visiting team sprawled on the ground in despair, not hearing the warmth of the ovation that the west country crowd were giving them.
The Kingstonian manager Geoff Chapple masked his own feelings as he walked on to the field to console the tearful. In his long blue overcoat he did not look much like the archetypal team manager. Through the game he had stood on the edge of the dug-out, offering advice with a minimum of emotion. Now at the end he actually smiled, a gentle reaction that implied they could still rise again on Tuesday week, at Brentford's Griffin Park.
"I told the players before this tie that we could go to Old Trafford in the next round. We still can," said the 55-year-old one-time insurance agent after the game - though, unlike Kingstonian, Manchester United did not make it to the fifth-round draw. "I think we did non-league football proud," said Chapple. "This was a game when we made a lot of friends."
Overall Kingstonian probably defended better than City. Mark Harris, Eddie Saunders, a former basketball pro, and Derek Allan blocked the middle with unfussy skills. In midfield Geoff Pitcher is clearly misplaced in the Conference and could soon be returning to higher status; like City's Brian Tinnion, he passes the ball with intuitive precision. Maybe family relations help: he had his brother-in-law Mark Beard prompting away on his right.
Bristol were not too often allowed to settle and find the space and rhythm that has taken them up the Second Division table. There was a slightly frantic, nervous element to their play after they conceded a needless goal.
Louis Carey blundered with a back-pass in the 57th minute, allowing the busy Phil Wingfield, his Saturday football a therapy from carpet cleaning, to weave round Steve Phillips and score with the perfect angled shot.
Just before that Ian Duerden, a newcomer from Doncaster, had a better chance and fluffed it, though City - and Peacock in particular - might have put the tie outside Kingstonian range. Keith Millen, the Bristol captain who used to play with Pitcher at Watford, said: "We never made the mistake of underestimating them. And that goes for the replay."

ITU together with G3ict is holding a joint Forum to review areas of challenges and opportunities for international ICT accessibility standards in light of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
The event will take place at ITU Headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland on Monday, 21 April 2008. See previous story on ITU's latest work in the field of accessibility.
The Convention has been signed by an unprecedentedly high number of UN Member States in a relatively short time – 126 since 30 March 2007. This makes it all the more urgent to promote ICT accessibility standards that will support a better and faster implementation around the world of the many dispositions of the Convention regarding ICTs.
For the first time since the Convention was adopted by the UN General Assembly, an international group of experts from industry, standards development organizations, NGOs representing persons with disabilities, international development institutions, governments and academia will examine in detail its many implications for ICT accessibility standards. Proceedings will be edited to serve as a reference for future accessibility standards developments.
The event will review existing and in-progress technology standards and standardization of product development methodologies; discuss the role of public policy and procurement in support of standardization and the implementation of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, and identify follow-up actions to facilitate its implementation.

Their year has been filled with memorable moments, and to celebrate the holiday season Kris Jenner and her family gathered for a stunning Christmas Eve soiree.
It was one year ago that Khloe Kardashian began the process of divorcing her husband Lamar Odom and last night (December 9) she shared her feelings via Instagram.
It's no secret that Thanksgiving is a time of festive feasting, and Khloe Kardashian hit the gym earlier this week to get ready for the food-filled holiday.
The "Keeping Up with the Kardashains" star wore some sheer black leggings along with some colorful sneakers as she scurried into a Beverly Hills fitness center while a few shutterbugs snapped up photos.
They're known for pushing the boundaries of pretty much everything, but Khloe Kardashian and Scott Disick may have gone too far with their new Instagram meme referencing the Ku Klux Klan.
The "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" stars each posted a photo with Kourtney, Khloe and Kim Kardashian all dressed in white.
Taking care of some international promotional duties, Kim Kardashian and her sister Khloe made an appearance at the big launch of Hairrfinity UK in London on Saturday (November 8).
The "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" stars were the guests of honor at the event, held at Il Bottaccio in London's Belgravia district, and they both looked stunning as they posed together for photos.
They've spent the past two months apart, but now it seems Khloe Kardashian and French Montana are hot and heavy again.
Over the weekend, the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" cutie posted an Instagram message in honor of the rapper's 30th birthday.
She's in the middle of divorcing her ex Lamar Odom, and Khloe Kardashian showed the world that she's not interested in getting back together with the troubled NBA star with an Instagram post on Thursday (November 6).
The "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" babe uploaded a quote titled "Closure" on Odom's birthday, and it couldn't be clearer that she's done with him.
Though they didn't travel to Las Vegas for a massive shindig, the Kardashian-Jenner crew still did it up proper for Kendall Jenner's 19th birthday party.
The runway model is featured in a series of photos getting up close and personal with a male stripper and at one point she got a light spanking from the handsome policeman.

Herman Cain Believes In American Exceptionalism
Posted by Richard G. Williams, Jr. at 5:15 PM
5 comments:
King Author once asked Merlin where evil existed in his kingdom since everyone was happy and had everthing the needed...food, protection, shelter, etc. Merlin responded by saying that good and evil cannot exist without the other and to always look for evil where you least expect it.
No...I am not saying this man is evil and if he can get nominated and elected than so be it. What I am talking about is the idea of American Exceptionalism. It is great and we should all embrace it...but we also need to understand the darker side of America as well. You cannot understand AE without understanding the dark side as well.

I think Merlin is an idiot.

I'm dubious of relying on the ruminations of a few (allegedly) historical characters for my moral philosophy. Don't get me wrong I enjoy the movie Excalibur as much as the next guy. However, it might be instructive to turn to the Christian concept of evil as formulated by Augustine. According to Augustine, Good CAN exist without evil because good emanates from God. Evil is the result of mans fallen state. We are the creators of evil. It is a "disordered" relationship between our will and the will of God. Evil CANNOT exist without good ,as the two are not coordinate parts. So the answer to Arthur's question is that evil is to be found wherever man can be found. Alas, this does put a damper on creating the Utopian kingdom of Camelot.
"..but we also need to understand the darker side of America as well."
Most of us who follow the WBTS from outside the mainstream are fully aware of some of the darker chapters in American history. I just finished, "War Crimes Against Southern Civilians" which is a sobering account that many are trying to airbrush from memory.

"Good CAN exist without evil because good emanates from God." Which is why I made the comment about Merlin. Of course good can exist w/out evil. . . and one day, that will be the state of all things.
Yes, I've read Cisco's book as well. Very good work.

Mr. Williams:
Yes,I sensed from your comment that we were probably on the same page on that score.
I finally broke down and bought Ciscos book after I saw where it was among your recommendations. Good work indeed. Thanks.

We all know the perils of messing with a person's chili recipe. Almost everyone has their personal take on the dish, and it's best not to pry for the details nor get into a discussion of red vs. white or beans vs. no beans in mixed company (especially if you're talking to a Texan). But sometimes a new idea rocks your chili world view enough that you're willing to break from tradition for at least a trial run.
In my case, this winter, that trial run came from one of America's greatest runners. Scott Jurek grew up in Duluth and turned out to be a champion ultrarunner, winning time after time in races that last more than 100 miles through mountains and deserts. His autobiography Eat & Run describes how he realized in high school that competing at the elite level would require improvements he just wasn't getting from training harder. A new diet, he realized, would unlock new performance.
Despite growing up a strict meat-and-potatoes Minnesota guy, he started eating more vegetarian dishes and eventually went all the way to vegan. At the outset, his question—like most people's about such a diet—was whether it would give him enough energy and fill him up. And that brings us to chili.
One cold Minnesota night, Jurek returned from skiing in Duluth's Lester Park only to have his friends shove a vegetarian chili in front of him. Surely, he thought, this won't cut it. But he gamely dove in, and had a chili epiphany. "The chilies, the tomatoes and the beans combined into a spicy winter ambrosia," he wrote in his book. "I suppose it's possible that I was overtired or in such a good mood after a long ski that anything would have tasted good, but that vegetarian chili was about the best thing I had ever eaten." It filled him up. It gave him lasting energy. And in something of a quasi-heresy around along Lake Superior, it did it all without meat.
I made my first pot of Minnesota Winter Chili (see the recipe here) this week and landed squarely in Scott's camp. The chili has a robust flavor from a variety of fresh veggies and a lineup of spices. Three kinds of beans provide the protein punch. But the real secret ingredient is bulgur, a whole wheat that's boiled and partially dried. You'll find it in the health-food section of any good grocery store. The grain expands as the chili simmers, creating a "mouth feel" almost exactly like what hamburger would provide. For anyone worried about the palatability of vegetarian dishes, it's a breakthrough.
I may not be quite ready to head down the vegetarian or vegan path. And I'm certainly not aiming for any 100-mile races. But after this chili opened my eyes, who knows what other barriers a person might break?

Good review - thanks
Hello all,
Below is my latest review, this time for the Kimber Ultra Carry II. Again, my reviews are longer than most you'll find, so only read further if you like a lot of information. Thanks for reading!
This is a review/range report for the .45acp Kimber Ultra Carry II that was purchased earlier this year. This is the basic model, with an all-black finish and black plastic grip panels. The frame is Al, and holds a seven-shot magazine. It has a 3" bull barrel without bushing, and has a full-length guide rod. The plain sights are drift adjustable. It weighs 25.3 ounces with empty magazine in place. Other specs can be found on their website. Below is a pic of the UC II sitting next to a few others from the collection.
Two things that were immediately noticeable - it came in a case decent enough to be useable for a long time, and it only came with only one magazine. I am a bit amazed that a relatively high-profile firearms maker would be so cheesy as to provide only one magazine for an expensive handgun. Heck, even my Taurus 24/7 came with two magazines. Also included, besides a small instruction booklet and the requisite gunlock, is a very small takedown tool which looks like a paperclip that was carefully straightend. I think I will be lucky to still have this tool five years from now.
Takedown is a bit more complicated than most semi-auto's, but once you get the hang of it, it's not hard. You just have to position the takedown tool in just the right place inside the forward end of the guide rod. There is a video on the internet that shows how to remove the guide rod without the use of the takedown tool, but my rod did not replace as easily as the one in the video. Therefore, I will be using the takedown tool to accomplish this, at least until I loose the tiny thing.
The inside of the pistol was mostly clean, with no unusual machining marks. I added a set of Hogue rubber grips, and after a quick spray of the innards with Tetra clean/lube and oiling the parts that rub, it was off to the range.
Even though this manufacturer has a good reputation (not with everyone, I know), I was nonetheless very impressed from the very first magazine. At seven yards, the first seven shots went into one ragged hole, which is something that I've not ever done in the past with a brand new pistol (it usually takes a few magazines to get used to a pistol). Even more surprising was that the hole was exactly where I put the top of the front sight blade. With the Fiocchi FMJ I was using, this is the most "dead-on" out of the box pistol I've ever had. Sights are plain, with no white dots to be seen anywhere.
Shooting between seven and ten yards, I put one box of Fiocchi 230gr FMJ and one box of Blazer though it, with no failures of any kind. Recoil was of no consequence, and accuracy was wonderful. I did notice a lot more flash than usual, which I will estimate is due to the shorter barrel. Low-flash loads would definately be in order if one is going to use these for self-defense. Factory specs for trigger pull weight is 4 to 5 pounds, and the pull weight on this example is 4 lbs. 11 oz.. First-stage pull length was short and light (hey, it's a 1911!), and the second stage pull was fairly crisp, with some overtravel once it breaks. Overall quite adequate for use as a defensive pistol, and I have no plans on changing it, even if it serves only as a range gun. The amount of pressure needed to move the safety lever was just right for my tastes. Mags drop free, as would be expected.
Since the original range session, I have put an additional three-hundred rounds of Fiocchi and Blazer through it without a single hiccup. No other types of ammo has been used, since at this time I do not plan on using this for defense. Of my three 1911's, it has proven to be the most accurate, or at least I should say that I shoot the most accurately with it. It has become one of my most favored pistols. Hmmm -- I'm starting to think that a 9mm version would make a great carry weapon.....
Good review - thanks

No, that is the task of your operating system. Mathematica is a computer

But you man run a second program like unix kill command to terminate

Jim Jones Leaves Columbia for E1
According to XXL Magazine, the inimitable (except for his music) Jim Jones has jumped ship from his deal at Columbia Records and signed with E1 Music for his next solo record. E1, formerly Koch Records, has a long history with Jones and was the home to his first trio of solo records and other assorted projects. The move makes a lot of sense considering that Jones became the vice president for urban A&R at the label last January.
"Jim Jones put Koch on the map," said E1 president Alan Grunblatt earlier this year. "He truly knows what it takes to make a hit record. I am thrilled to be working with him for many years to come."
It's unknown if Jones left Columbia on his own accord. Over the summer, rumors swirled that the rapper had been dropped by the label due to disappointing sales figures. He disappeared from the label's website in June and the discussion has been mostly quiet since then.
"I wish [I was dropped from Columbia]," said Jones at the time. "Funny thing about that is I'm not an artist over there, I'm a partner. I have a venture. I wish it was that easy lol."
On his relationship with E1, Jones was more upbeat. He praised the label for recognizing his talent as a scout with an eye for up and coming acts.
"It feels good to know that the hard work has been recognized by the same people that have helped me get to this point in my career," Jones reflected. "They recognize that I'm not only an artist but a person that can smell talent and be able to mold a superstar."
Jones new album is slated to hit shelves in Spring 2010.

There are a number of pages (and people) that point to Bugs_and_feature_requests as "general instructions on how to file bugs" without knowing which component the bug concerns.

A lot of components don't have homepages for which there is a Reporting Problems section. I'm not sure every component needs its own homepage... Perhaps you have a different scope in mind than what I am thinking? So far, we have both "Bug_info_<component>" and "How_to_debug_<component>" pages. I was assuming these were essentially the same thing by different names. After all, if you are doing a really good job at diagnosing a bug, you employ debugging techniques. At some point, the debugging process is likely to be exhausted to the capacity of the reader, and a bug report will need to be filed. The information-gathering techniques needed to file a thorough bug report overlap with debugging techniques. So I would expect the audience of How_to_debug pages to range from people who are having problems with a given component, who may want to either gather minimal information necessary to file a useful bug report, or who may want to spend a lot of time isolating the cause and perhaps even filing a patch themselves. -B.

Dear NationsBank Customer
Dear Chris,
I read your open letter to NationsBank and I wanted to respond. How many times do I have to tell you -- you're selling yourself short! You're far too good for that high-interest card.
I know, I know, you've had this card for years now, and you feel bad just cutting it up and walking away. But you must confront NationsBank -- these interest rates are way too high. Now don't get me wrong, it was quite nice of them to reduce the interest rate by 3.4%, but that only knocked you down to 14%! And that letter -- at 12% you're letting them take advantage of you. And don't think it will suddenly stop or they'll just one day see the light and charge more reasonable rates. Nothing is going to happen until you take the card by the statement and confront NationsBank.
The first thing you need to do is gather up all the pre-approved offers you've gotten from other cards with lower interest rates and balance transfer teaser rates. The 3.9% percent until the transfer is paid looks pretty nice, doesn't it? And that 9.9% fixed rate on new charges is so much more attractive than your current card. Keep that in mind when you call NationsBank.
Now, when you call and talk to a customer service rep, remember to be polite. Ask nicely first, since they didn't put up a fight last time you asked. If they initially refuse, ask to speak with a supervisor; maybe they can do something. If not, then just calmly explain that this relationship is just bleeding you dry, and that it has to end. They may offer you a slightly lower rate, but don't take it. Don't settle for anything more than 9.9% fixed. Remember that 3.9% balance transfer rate that's just waiting for you to hang up the phone. Sure it's just a teaser rate, but it will stick around as long as you need it to.
I know it's hard to abandon a card you've had for so long, but its time to face the facts -- they're only in it for your money. And your money is much happier in your wallet than it is in envelopes on their way to a big, impersonal bank. It's happier still when you invest it Foolishly, so it can grow and flourish -- not whither and die, shackled to a piece of plastic.
So be done with the double-digit interest rates. If NationsBank truly cares about keeping you as a customer, they will negotiate. And if they won't, you're too good for them anyway.

It will be up to history to judge whether the latest partisan stunt joined by Utah Sens. Mike Lee and Orrin Hatch amounts to an act of End Times warmongering or merely another bit of cringe-worthy buffoonery on the global stage.
Chances are that the foolish, dangerous and arguably felonious attempt by the Obama Derangement Caucus of the Senate will soon be forgotten. Unless, as President Obama himself muttered the other day, the Senate Republicans make common cause with the hard-liners in Iran to push the region, and the world, that much closer to nuclear war.
Our delegates to the World's Greatest Deliberative Body were among 47 senators — all Republicans — who signed a condescending open letter to "the Leaders of the Islamic Republic of Iran." The letter, drafted and circulated by überhawk Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas, explains to the powers that be in Tehran that any agreement they strike with Obama over Iran's nuclear program would either be subject to Senate ratification — if it is a formal treaty — or amount to a mere executive agreement that could be scrapped by the next administration, which will take office a mere two years hence.

Apparently fresh starts for WR Torry Holt and LT Tra Thomas soured quickly in Jacksonville.
According to the team's Twitter account, both former Pro Bowlers were cut Thursday after only one season with the Jaguars. DT Rob Meier was also released.
Holt caught 51 passes for 722 yards and didn't score in 2009 -- all figures represented career-lows for the 11-year vet, who played his first 10 years with the St. Louis Rams. Mike Sims-Walker established himself as the Jags' No. 1 receiver while rookie Mike Thomas also emerged with 48 catches.
After 11 solid years with the Philadelphia Eagles, Thomas came aboard last year as a player who could potential assuage Jacksonville's 2008 offensive line woes. But then the Jags drafted OTs Eugene Monroe and Eben Britton in the first two rounds of the 2009 draft, respectively. The tackle tandem of the future combined to start 28 games, rendering Thomas a backup. -- Nate Davis

10 Jan – In conjunction with their upcoming comedy "Taxi! Taxi!", Singaporean funny men Gurmit Singh and Mark Lee will be coming to Malaysia on 16 and 17 January to greet their fans!
"Taxi! Taxi!" marks the second time the "Phua Chu Kang" star and "Money No Enough" actor have worked together on a big screen production since Khoo Koh's World Cup-themed football comedy "One Leg Kicking" 12 years ago, in 2001.
Inspired by a true story, Singh is playing a former PhD researcher whose life changes when he is forced to start a new career as a taxi driver. He soon meets Lee, who plays a veteran streetwise taxi driver in the SGD 1 million film directed by Kelvin Sng.
The leading men of "Taxi! Taxi!" will also be bringing their co-stars Dr. Jia Jia, a 7-year-old Youtube sensation who is shot to fame with his "Singlish" series on the video sharing site, MY FM deejay-actress Gan Mei Yan, veteran actress Aunty Lai Meng and Kelvin Sng to Malaysia for their promotional tour, which consists of a "Taxi! Taxi!" Meet The Fans session that is going to be held at the LG Concourse in Sunway Pyramid Shopping Centre on Wednesday, 16 January.
Meanwhile, students in UTAR College will have the privilege of attending the movie's Q&A session with the stars of "Taxi! Taxi!", who will share their filming experience and ideas with the attendees on Thursday, 17 January.
"Taxi! Taxi!" is now showing in Singapore and will be released in Malaysia on 24 January 2013!

Israel has discovered the holiday spirit and decided that its blockade of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip should be lifted, allowing trucks of medicine, food and other supplies to enter the occupied territory beginning Friday.
The BBC:
Israel has reopened crossings into the Gaza Strip to allow the delivery of humanitarian aid.
Israeli officials said Defence Minister Ehud Barak took the decision after talks with security chiefs and requests from the international community.
About 80 trucks with supplies such as medicine, food and other goods are expected to cross on Friday.
The move comes despite Israeli warnings to Palestinian militants in Gaza to stop their rocket attacks on Israel.
On Friday, two Palestinian sisters - aged five and 12 - were killed when a mortar, apparently fired by Palestinian gunmen targeting Israel, hit their home in northern Gaza.
Four of five Gazans depend on foreign humanitarian aid, making the lifted blockade even more important act.

Nice, I didn't know that Ed Brown was making a SF Commander.
Now I want one...
This is a discussion on Ed Brown Special Forces; Gen III within the Defensive Carry Guns forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Here is my carry pistola. Commander plain slide. Wonderful balance and accuracy....
Nice, I didn't know that Ed Brown was making a SF Commander.
Now I want one...
Nice looking 1911. Whats with that floorplate on the magazine?
My next 1911 is likely to be one like that.
Did you get it from Allan Yoast?
He's a great guy.
Please be sure to give us a range report!
was the culprit that sold me the Brown. He ordered 4 non-catalog SF guns and I nabbed one from him. Have to look up the price as I am trying to forget.......
PS: that is a "brown" magazine and his floorplate.
That gun would make me very, very, happy indeed. I have no Commander, I need a Commander length...darn all these food, clothing, and shelter expenses.
What Would Gumby Do?
Someday...I will get one of these also....just a damn sexy gun and the one I think is the nicest .45 out there

Training means learning the rules. Experience means learning the exceptions.
For carry, I'd personally remove the bump pad....
Very nice piece, care to post a range report? Thanks for posting....

Very nice
While the bump pad is a little thick add a mag well and carry it (well that one is a little thick but i have carried that style) I do its all in the cant of the holster and your method of dress to hide it
Very nice on the coolness meter. Specifically, what sights are driving that thing?

Snowiest on Record
It's the last day of the shortest month of the year. Thank heaven!
As of this morning the first 27 days of February produced 48.3 inches of snowfall. This is already the snowiest month ever recorded in Pittsburgh and if any accumulates today the record will go higher. Today's forecast calls for snow. Less than an inch. Hmmmm.
Until this month I was always happy to see snow. Perhaps my short respite in Florida lowered my tolerance. Perhaps more than four feet of it turned me off.
I still think snow is beautiful but I'm weary of it.

# Anthony H. Bledsoeon 28 Feb 2010 at 9:51 am
As things stand now, this has been the 4th snowiest winter ever in Pittsburgh. According to wunderground.com, we've had 76.5 inches of snow so far. The record for the snowiest winter is 82.0 inches, during the winter of 1950-1951.
# Kate St. Johnon 01 Mar 2010 at 11:48 am
And the final total is 48.7 inches. Some of yesterday's precipitation was drizzle. Eeewwwww!
# Kathyon 01 Mar 2010 at 6:55 pm
We've made it this far, we just as well go for the all time snowiest winter record, don't you think?
# Jon 02 Mar 2010 at 12:05 pm
Yep, only about 6 inches to go for the all-time record for snowiest winter.
There was some talk of another big snow storm of 40 inches on March 20th..the first day of spring…40+ inches in a month is bad enough…but not all at once…I won't be able to walk outside if it's that deep since that is way above my waist…short people and deep snow don't work so well..just glad the snow is melting slowly that is on the ground now and soaking in…rain possible next week, so let's hope most is melted by then…and they have all the storm drains cleared…have to see what the floodlands below us bring…there has been some excellent waterfowl when the waters are being held back here–>for all of you in Pittsburgh.
