Neko Case grew up surrounded by more animals than people, and her love and respect for non-humans is reflected in both her life and her music—more so than ever on Middle Cyclone, which debuted at number three on the U.S. album sales chart in March.
"My parents were gone all the time and I was an only child, so it was me and dogs, cats, goats, whatever," the big-voiced alternative country artist says of her youth. "And we often lived in the middle of nowhere, so I was just friends with them. I felt a lot of empathy for them and they for me."
Nature and animal themes run throughout Middle Cyclone, Case's sixth and most successful studio album. A prime example is lead single "People Got a Lotta Nerve," in which she sings about caged animals getting revenge of their keepers. Earlier this year, Case and her label, Anti-Records, used the song as a fundraiser and donated to Best Friends Animal Society every time the song was posted on a blog or added to an iLike user's online profile. The campaign raised approximately $4,000 in about six weeks.
Sign up for our newsletter and stay in the know.
Case also donated "Star Witness" to a two-disc compilation titled Giving Animals a Voice Through Music: Best Friends Animal Society 25th Anniversary Collection. Proceeds from album sales support the society's campaign to stop puppy mills. Best Friends is close to Case's heart, since her four dogs came from pounds and shelters.
"Somebody might think one thing about dogs but, when you give them a little bit of love, they just blossom and become something totally different," the 38-year-old says. "They all have so much potential in them.
"Throwing them away is just the saddest thing ever. Dogs give a very specific kind of love that is really necessary. I think that we're companion species with each other. I think humans need dogs and dogs need humans."
Case's previous dog, Lloyd, died of cancer and left a gaping hole in her life, which she filled with a Chow/Shepherd named Liza and three ex-racing Greyhounds: Swan-Y, Guy and Travis, who recently lost a leg to cancer but is still full of vim and vigor.
"I would have had more dogs when I had Lloyd, but he wanted to be the only dog, and I had to respect that," Case explains. "My new crowd of dogs love having other dogs—they're hilarious."
Case, who's a member of pop group The New Pornographers as well as a solo artist, is on the road touring in support of her albums for long stretches of time, but she says she has trusted friends who take care of the dogs in her absence.
"I don't even know if they notice I'm gone. They get so much attention and they're so loved. They get excited and love me when I come home, but they love everyone else, too. They're not one-people dogs. I like that they feel comfortable enough to give themselves to other people to share."
For all things Neko, visit her here.

Indonesia and the Spice Islands
IndonesiaOfficial Name: Republic of Indonesia
Capital: Jakarta
Population: 192 million
Population Problems: Uneven distribution of population is a major concern to the government. Some 60% of the population live on the island of Java. The government hopes to relieve this congestion by attracting people to live on the outer islands. To facilitate this move grants, free travel and land has been made available.
Official Language: Bahasa Indonesia
Religion: 80% Muslim, 10% Christian, with the remainder comprising animists and other religions
Area: 1,904,570 sq km (735,555 sq miles)
Highest point: Puncak Jaya (5030 m above sea level)
Major Islands: Java, Kalimantan, Irian Jaya, Sulawesi (Celebes), Sumatra and the Moluccas (Group)
Currency: Rupiah
National Anthem: "Indonesia Raya" ("Great Indonesia")
Current Head of State (March 1996): President Suharto
Education: Primary education is compulsory but some regions do not have school buildings, textbooks or enough teachers to meet the needs of the expanding population. Over 90% of the country's children attend primary school. Attendance at secondary school is much lower at around 15% - 30%.
Indonesian Culture: Because of its sheer size the culture of Indonesia is highly varied. Perhaps the best known aspect are popular dances on Bali, gamelan orchestras, Dyak wood carvings to ward off evil spirits, Javanese puppet dramas and the batik method of dyeing cloth.
Major Industries: Rubber Production; Oil, gas and chemicals; Precious Timbers; Heavy Engineering and other high-technology industries on a smaller scale; Tin, copper and nickel; Cassava, Coconuts, Rice and Spices: Tuna and Prawns; Tourism.
Climate: Largely tropical monsoon. Rain falls all year round but the months from June to September are relatively dry everywhere except in the Moluccas which are very wet during this period.
Physical Description: Covering a distance of over 5000 km, Indonesia is the world's largest archipelago. Estimates vary but it is thought the country is made up of over 13,000 islands. Less than 1,000 of these have permanent settlements. Many of Indonesia's islands are mountainous, have active volcanoes and are covered by dense rainforest. Outside of Amazonia Indonesia has the largest area of surviving primary rainforest in the world.
Natural History: Indonesia's natural history is widely regarded as the world's most varied and perhaps the most precious also. 20% of the bird species found in Indonesia are found nowhere else in the world and 40% of the archipelago's mammals are unique to this region. Modern farming, logging and mining techniques pose a serious threat to this area which is famous for its natural diversity.
The Spice IslandsThe island region where Tim Severin and his crew will sail is known as the Spice Islands. Another name for this group is the Moluccas or Maluku. Although romantically named, the Spice Islands have a long and bloody history.
Today the importance of the Spice Islands is as one of the few surviving areas of primary tropical rainforest with a rich natural history. In previous centuries the islands' importance lay with their name. As the source of cloves and nutmeg they were the focus of attention from traders since 300 B.C. or possibly earlier. Chinese, Indian and Arab merchants sought out these riches long before the European powers came to Maluku. The Arab connection, in particular, meant that the Muslim Influence was very strong. Individual sultans amassed great wealth and came to control the precious spice trade. Indeed, by the early 1500s, Maluku was known as Jazirat-al-Muluk or "Land of Many Kings."
It was at this time that Europeans first came to the Moluccas in search of cloves and nutmeg. They were highly valued as food preservatives. Wealthy ladies used to keep spices in lockets around their necks so they could freshen their breaths easily. Gentlemen added nutmeg to food and drink. Spices were also used for medicinal purposes, especially in the relief of colic, gout and rheumatism. Such great demand meant that the prices of nutmeg and cloves soared. To offset this crisis expeditions were launched to find the source of these spices and bring them directly back to Europe.
Christopher Columbus was searching for the fabled route to the Indies when he arrived at the Americas in 1492. Not long after this the Portuguese enforced their rule on parts of the Moluccan Islands. Along with the spice traders came military forces and missionaries keen on converting the natives of the islands. Conflict soon broke out and the Portuguese brutally crushed the islanders. The natives continued to disrupt Portuguese trade and everyday life in the islands and within a century they were replaced by the Spanish. They did not last long either and lost out to the Dutch who governed the islands between 1605 and 1945.
The period of Dutch rule is marked by the usage of vast plantations as a means of producing vast quantities of spices for the European markets. All the land was under the control of the Dutch East Indies Company and anyone caught selling land, however small, was executed. By the early 1800s new plantations of spices in Africa and India meant that there was a greater choice of supply available to the traders. As a consequence, prices fell and the Dutch were in trouble. It was around this time that Alfred Russel Wallace arrived in the Malay Archipelago.
Today, the Spice Islands make up Maluku Propinsi (or Maluku Province) of the Republic of Indonesia.

Veal Sweetbreads – Almond, Sauerkraut, and Thai Chili at Momofuku Ssam Bar
How is everyone's Memorial Day weekend? We stayed in the city and had a busy but low key holiday. Manhattan is pretty awesome during long weekends when everyone is out of town. Restaurants are easy to get into without reservations, things are quiet…borderline peaceful. Out of town friends, an early birthday at Bouley, overdue haircuts and massages, and lots of life admin.
Roasted Pumpkin Soup with Balsamic Reduction, Ricotta Cloud and Pignoli Nuts at Bouley
Speaking of life admin I've got a few pieces of news I've been meaning to share…
1. Tickets and hotels are finally booked for our family trip to Asia. Dad is notorious for last minute planning and we just got everything in place this morning. And we leave in a week. I'll be meeting them in Hong Kong and finishing the holiday in Beijing with 2-3 days stays in the following cities: Shanghai, Bin Zhou, Hefei, Shenzhen, and Huangshan (to see the yellow mountains). Excited? More than you can imagine.
2. Pierre and I moved in together last month. We've been unofficially living together for awhile, but I always kept an extra apartment that I could call my own nearby. For the just in case, you know? But now it's official (apartment rented!) and somehow we've managed to merge our belongings together with little drama and hassle. It's a miracle.
3. Last but not least, I am very excited to announce that I've started doing the sales and marketing for Chambre de Sucre. I've mentioned these sugars – which are handmade by a 270-year old family run company from Nagoya, Japan a few times in the past. The sugars are well-established in Japan but only recently have they been made available in the US.
They're perfect for afternoon tea parties (though Pierre finds great pleasure in using them to elevate his everyday cup of coffee :) and most importantly, dissolve well. I first learned about the sugars earlier this year, became obsessed, one thing led to another, and here we are. Expect to find them in retail outlets and restaurants in the city soon!
Cheers to a great week ^_^

Hollywood wants to make sequel to the holiday classic It's a Wonderful Life. FUCK THIS SHIT.
George Bailey is apparently great at giving angels their wings but shit at teaching his family life lessons, because Hollywood has a crackerjack idea for a sequel to the 1946 classic starring Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed. Variety is reporting that producers Allen J. Schwalb and Bob Farnsworth of Hummingbird are trying to get It's A Wonderful Life 2 off the ground, to be centered around:
Karolyn Grimes, who played George Bailey's daughter "Zuzu" in the original, will return for the "Wonderful Life" sequel as an angel who shows Bailey's unlikeable grandson (also named George Bailey) how much better off the world would have been had he never been born.
Thankfully there's no studio connection yet so Hollywood now has the rare, unique connection to stop this atrocity from happening and, for once, not play the role of Mr. Potter and save the day! Do it, Hollywood. For Zuzu!
The producers are hoping they can get It's a Wonderful Life 2 into the theaters by the 2014 holiday season. Gross.

The Columbus Crew cut three defenders on Wednesday, but president and general manager Mark McCullers (above) said the signing of a Designated Player is not imminent – sort of.
"That's not true," he replied when asked by MLSsoccer.com if a deal for a forward is close to fruition. "You have to check with me hour by hour," he added with a smile. "We're working hard on it. We're going to do our best to make a really quality decision here."
The team cleared salary cap and roster space by waiving Shaun Francis, Korey Veeder and rookie Aubrey Perry. Francis' departure, a Jamaican national, frees room for the expected international signee.
"We want to prepare ourselves," McCullers said. "We need to make these decisions now. We're setting the roster up for the likelihood we'll get something done."
Head coach Robert Warzycha said the team is targeting a European as their first choice but at least one other player from South America is being considered.
"Something can happen at any time," he said. "If not, we're going to make a decision on somebody else. But we already made the decision and we're proceeding on one guy."
Wednesday marked the opening of the month-long transfer window and Costa Rican forward Jairo Arrieta, signed in April, will be added to bring the roster to 28, two under the maximum.
Goalkeeper William Hesmer and forward Tommy Heinemann, both on the season-ending injury list, do not count against the roster but their salaries are taken into account.
"That really put us in a bind," McCullers said.
Another factor in the timing of the moves is that contacts are guaranteed after July 1, so releasing the trio was prudent.
"It would be really, really bad if you did not have room for a DP," Warzycha said. "Then, we would have already shot ourselves in the foot."
McCullers and Warzycha said they would be comfortable going with only 29 players the rest of the season if a DP is acquired to replace forward Andrés Mendoza, whose option was not picked up after scoring a team-high 13 goals last season.
The club made an offer last month to an unnamed Argentine but an agreement was not reached.
"The parameters are not only financial," McCullers said. "They're team fit, cultural fit. We want to help our team. The other thing is we like our guys here. We want to bring somebody in who'll complement them. We're being diligent."
While Veeder and Perry were limited reserve matches in their career, Francis played 10 games this season (six starts) and 28 as a member of the Crew in three years. The left back lost his starting job to Nemanja Vukovic but still had a team-best three assists.
Warzycha said center back Josh Williams was originally signed in 2010 as a left back and can play there and midfielder Bernardo Añor is being groomed for the position.
"We can trade for a left back, too," Warzycha said.

The following post on selecting an insurance-friendly vehicle comes from David Bakke, who writes about budgeting, smart spending, insurance options, and retirement for Money Crashers, an online guide to improving financial fitness.
While we all try to get the best price when buying a new car, people often forget to factor in the cost of auto insurance. And depending on the type of car you choose, it could be a make-or-break consideration. Though many factors go into determining a person's annual car insurance premium, the car itself certainly plays a role.
For example, insuring a sensible 2013 Toyota Sienna costs about half of what it costs to insure that cherry red, spit-shined 2013 Porsche Caymen R you've been eyeing (though not because of the color!). And that's a difference that adds up. So next time you're shopping for a new ride, use these 5 tips for picking an insurance-friendly car.
1. Research premiums
Before you buy your new car, go online to get a quote for that year, make, and model. The results may be enlightening. Though there are moves you can make to minimize your costs, such as increasing your deductibles or dropping comprehensive or collision coverage, it's important not to sacrifice solid protection for a shiny new car.
Considering a new car? Get an online quote from Esurance.
2. Avoid high-performance vehicles
Sports cars, large SUVs, luxury cars, and anything, well, souped-up all come with boosted insurance premiums because they generally cost more to repair or replace. Safety is also a factor — a small, zippy sports car generally offers fewer safety features and attracts more lead-footed drivers than a modest midsized sedan. Plus, these cars are typically gas guzzlers, which will also add to your expenses.
So unless you're prepared to shoulder the many surrounding costs for your dream car, your best bet is to simply stay away from these high-end rides. Sensible choices reap their own rewards.
3. Research average repair costs
Cars that are more expensive to insure are generally more expensive to fix and sometimes require hard-to-find parts. Research the typical repair and maintenance costs for vehicles in your area. On many sites, you'll find average ownership costs broken down into various categories. You can also research which cars cost the least (and most) to repair, which are worthy considerations (and ones that your insurance company will also take into account).
4. Know the stolen vehicle statistics
As you might imagine, cars that are more likely to be stolen are more expensive to insure. You can find stolen-car statistics through the National Insurance Crime Bureau. (Esurance recently reported on the most stolen vehicles of 2011.) If you're shopping for a new car, the good news is that shiny new cars are not the most commonly stolen.
5. Go with a less expensive model
Add-ons that come standard on high-end models, such as sunroofs and built-in navigation systems, are nice to have but expensive to repair. Yes, this too means higher insurance premiums. You'll be spending enough on your new car as it is, so if you're willing to forego some of these luxuries, you can save on the sale price and on your insurance premium.
Final thoughts
Before you decide on your next car, do your homework to investigate how it will affect your car insurance premium. A little reality check can have a big impact on what you have to lay out each month.

How Do Native Hawaiian Birds Survive in a Fragmented Forest?
When humans cohabit with Mother Nature, they tend to leave footprints behind. They fragment the natural forest landscape into patches of trees and other vegetation separated by the diverse products of their labors—agriculture, residential development, industry. Even well-intentioned efforts at forest management can wind up fragmenting otherwise contiguous forests. Because many wildlife species evolved in large blocks of contiguous forest, they can be harmed when human activities break up landscapes into a patchwork of smaller isolated pieces of habitat.
Sometimes Mother Nature causes fragmentation herself. When volcanoes erupt on forested hillsides, for example, lava flows divide the forest into patches of trees separated by lava rock. On the Big Island of Hawaii, lava flows have created more than 300 isolated forest fragments. Native Hawaiians call these patches of forest kipukas.
David Flaspohler, a professor in the School of Forest Resources and Environmental Science at Michigan Technological University, went to Hawaii this year to help find out how the birds that live in the kipukas manage to survive. He is part of a multi-disciplinary team of scientists from Stanford University, the University of Maryland, the Carnegie Institution for Science, the US Forest Service Institute for Pacific Islands Forestry and Michigan Tech. They were funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) to study the effects of Hawaii's kipukas on the creatures that inhabit them. The five-year $1.2 million study will continue through 2015.
Formed by lava flows through the forests on the slopes of Mauna Loa in the 1850s, the kipukas range from ¼ acre to 150 acres in a remote, protected area where mankind's footprint is minimal. Kipukas are home to native vegetation, insects, rare birds and rats introduced by man. This relatively simple forest ecosystem presents an ideal living laboratory that allows scientists to study the interactions and adaptations of the creatures that call the forest fragments home. "Most fragmentation studies look at species response to fragmentation over a few to maybe ten years," Flaspohler explains. "Here we can examine the ecological legacy of a century and a half of fragmentation; that is extraordinary."
A conservation biologist, Flaspohler's research focuses on how organisms interact with their environment, particularly ecosystems altered by human activity and species that are most sensitive to such changes. The effect of forest fragmentation on the imperiled songbirds that live in the kipukas is one of Flaspohler's particular interests.
In a paper published last year in the journal Biological Conservation, Flaspohler and co-authors observed that the smaller kipukas were dominated by native birds, while the larger contiguous forests contained a higher proportion of non-native bird species. "This is precisely the opposite pattern one finds in most temperate mainland forests, where exotic birds are favored by fragmentation," he says.
In 34 kipukas on the slopes of the Mauna Loa volcano—one of the world's most active volcanoes—Flaspohler and Jessie Knowlton, a postdoctoral research fellow in his lab at Michigan Tech, are studying the songbirds known as Hawaiian Honeycreepers. Thought to be decendents of a single species of finch that reached Hawaii hundreds of thousands of years ago, the honeycreepers are found only on the islands of Hawaii. Since Polynesian and then European colonization of Hawaii, 24 of the 44 known species of honeycreeper have gone extinct, and 9 of the remaining 20 are on the federal Endangered Species List.
Some of the birds went extinct after the Polynesians arrived in Hawaii during the first millennium. More disappeared after a century of accelerated forest clearing and agriculture that followed the arrival of Europeans, Today, one third of all US endangered birds are Hawaiian species, even though Hawaii accounts for just one tenth of 1 per cent of the US land area.
The lava flows that have fragmented Hawaiian forests for millions of years presumably posed little danger to large widespread bird populations. However, as native birds have become rarer and increasingly restricted to smaller areas, volcanic eruptions have posed a threat. Still, some native birds have adapted and thrived in spite of these dynamic changes. Flaspohler and Knowlton want to find out what gave these species an edge and how forests can be managed to help others remain part of the natural heritage of Hawaii and the US.
Using delicate nylon mist nets designed especially for humane live capture and release of birds, the biologists gently capture the honeycreepers and band them. Each bird gets a uniquely colored combination of ankle bands so the scientists can identify them later. They have already banded more than 800 birds.
One of the factors the scientists are studying in the kipukas is the impact of black rats. Not natives of Hawaii, the rats probably arrived on ships centuries ago. The tree-climbing rodents have become the most significant predator of birds and their eggs in the kipukas. Rats also eat insects, directly competing with birds for food.
Rats are being trapped and removed from half of the kipukas. The scientists will then compare the survival rate and abundance of the honeycreepers and the success of their nests in rat-infested kipukas with those that are virtually rat-free.
Flaspohler hopes his research on the honeycreepers in the kipukas of Hawaii will teach us how to maintain biodiversity there and elsewhere in the face of increasing habitat fragmentation. "Hawaii can tell us how birds cope and evolve and persist, and these insights can inform our understanding of how birds cope with habitat change in other parts of the world," he says. "This may help prevent more endangered species from becoming extinct."

DSE names second firefighter killed in blaze
The second firefighter killed while battling a massive blaze in Victoria's alpine region has been named as 34-year-old Steven Kadar from Corryong in Victoria.
He and 19-year-old Katie Peters of Tallandoon were working on the Harrietville blaze yesterday when a tree fell on their vehicle in the remote Buckland Valley.
Victoria's Department of Sustainability and Environment (DSE) confirmed Mr Kadar's name in a statement this evening.
"Steven was a highly valued and experienced firefighter and very much respected by his colleagues," it said.
The statement said Mr Kadar first started with the DSE as a project firefighter in 2004 and later took on a role as a full-time field services officer.
Flags across Victoria flew at half-mast today as a mark of respect.
Cesar Melhem from the Australian Workers Union (AWU) says the firefighters' colleagues are receiving support.
"These firefighters are a very close group of people, they do depend on each other so I would say at this point in time they would be in a state of shock losing their comrades," he said.
"We have some of our officials on the scene as well to provide support to these firefighters and hopefully they'll be able to pull through."
Victorian Premier Ted Baillieu has offered his condolences to the families of those killed.
"The tragic loss of these two firefighters will affect all those who have been fighting these fires and protecting Victorian communities," he said in a statement.
The Harrietville fire has burned through 27,000 hectares since it was started by lightning on January 21.
Fire Services Commissioner Craig Lapsley says specialist forest firefighters will arrive in the next two days from NSW and New Zealand to assist local crews.
"We don't believe these alpine fires will come under control until we have decent rain, which is why we have a plan that goes on for a number of weeks with all our resources including interstate and international," he said.

Beltway Blog — Poll: Hispanic voters care more about other issues than immigration
WASHINGTON — Latino voters care about health care and unemployment more than immigration policy, according to a new USA Today/Gallup poll.
Pollsters interviewed 1,753 Hispanics in all 50 states, asking them to name the top three issues that matter most. Among the group of voters, 21 percent said health care, 19 percent said unemployment and 12 percent said immigration policies. Among all Hispanics — including non-voters — 20 percent said health care, 20 percent said unemployment and 20 percent said immigration was their "top priority."
President Barack Obama is leading presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney 66 percent to 25 percent among Hispanic registered voters, 9 percent are undecided.
The poll was based on land line and cellular telephone interviews conducted June 13 and 14, with a margin of error of plus or minus three points.
"The new USA Today/Gallup poll makes it clear that economic issues — particularly unemployment and economic growth — are more important to Hispanic voters nationwide than immigration," according to a release.

As clichés go, Western musicians discovering and experimenting with Eastern music and philosophy is right up there. There's even a joke in Spinal Tap about it. Anywhere, the debut album from the LA group of the same name is just that – a group of musicians taking cues from the East. Anyone with even a little knowledge of The Mars Volta won't be surprised to find that Cedric Bixler-Zavala is involved in this record. You may be surprised to find that rather than wailing like a banshee that's stubbed its toe, he spends most of time behind a drum set, providing a solid backbone for the rest of the group and pretty much acting as the secret to Anywhere's success.
The album is the work of four musicians – the aforementioned Bixler-Zavala, Christian Eric Beaulieu of Triclops!, Rachel Fannan of Sleepy Sun, and Mike Watt, who should need no introduction. It's rooted in Beaulieu's interest in Eastern music – his acoustic guitar, tuned in such a way as to echo the scales used in raga, forms the basis to all of the songs. He strums away at every available opportunity; open strings ringing out like a demented sitar. Thankfully, rather than being an all out hippy jam and sounding like the kind of thing you'd find in your dad's record collection, Anywhere is very much informed by the group's background in punk rock. The tempo and structure of the songs are as much in line with the fury of a Drive Like Jehu song as it is musically akin to something by Vashti Bunyan. Particular attention should be paid to the rhythm section of Watt and Bixler-Zavala. Watt's bass darts and weaves around the other instruments, driving the songs forward when required or pulling back when it gets a bit introspective. Bixler-Zavala pummels his drums into submission, sounding as far removed from raga as it's possible to. Anywhere could quite easily be described as Eastern punk, but don't let that put you off.
If it's a cliché for musicians to start exploring Eastern music, then it's definitely a cliché for a review to describe a record as cinematic. That said, Anywhere could easily form the soundtrack to a spaghetti western. Opening on a wide shot of a desert, 'Rosa Rugosa' fades in with ethereal vocals and lots of ambient noises before suddenly breaking off into a furious spidery guitar riff, echoing the action on screen. More guitars come in, to accompany more action. There are close ups of different sets of eyes and more wide shots of the desert. The main character is tested in someway and loses. The beginning of the second act is ushered in with 'Dead Golden West', a slow number with lots of chanting of mantras; long shots of someone riding a horse, alone. Watt takes a bass solo. 'Anywhere', the most straightforward song on the album (it has a chorus), featuring a soulful Bixler-Zalavas crooning "I'm falling/won't somebody catch me/I'm not anywhere". On screen there's some soul searching, all that kind of stuff that happens before the final showdown. The melodica on 'Infared Moses' builds the tension; suddenly it breaks for a drum solo. It builds again, reaching a triumphant climax as everyone on screen gets shot. Credits roll. Fade to black.

The World of YouTube....means you can almost find anything to kill time or fill up a blog. I'm sure most of you are like me...you get on the computer and follow a routine. With me, I check my emails first and answer the ones I have a interest in answering, read the Drudge Report because its simple and I don't have to wade through a ton of ads and just read whatever I want. Usually, I post a blog every two weeks or so but lately, I've been so busy promoting the book and doing my other projects that I've neglected my duties here. But I'm a huge YouTube fan as I think most of us are. So I've found some weird wrestling videos so today, its video blog day.
These are just a couple of things that I found that just blow me away. These are wrestling videos that I 'accidentally' ran across but nothing surprises my anymore. These are what I call Dutch's Videos of the Week.

The Most Illegal Thing Ever
in the History of Pro Wrestling
When I first saw this clip, I thought that this is what is wrong with the wrestling business today. But hey, wrestling fans have seen it all anyway so what's one more little thing going to hurt. I watched this several times and after awhile, I had to admit...that even though it went far beyond the 'suspension of disbelief', the match and segment was well executed. I didn't much care for the commentary but it is what it is. Enjoy.
Ken the Box...or
Ken the Tree
This is a little independent show presented in Japan and it looks just like a small independent show in the US or Canada. The attendance wasn't good but sometimes, there is a certain match or segment that stands out. Much like the clip you just saw above, this segment stretches the 'suspension of disbelief' but I found it highly entertaining in its own way. Actually, its so stupid and campy as to be actually, pretty good. You be the judge.
Ricky 'El Mesiah' Banderas vs. Slash Venom (Flash Flannigan)
Since I've shown a couple of 'silly' videos, now let me show one that is as serious as a heart attack. The match below happened in 2003 or so in the IWA in Puerto Rico. Our regular Saturday night venue was in a suburb of San Juan called Bayamon. I had been booking there for three years when I booked this match. Banderas was a HUGE STAR in Puerto Rico and was noted for his wild and crazy antics. Slash or as most people in the states know him, Flash, was also one of the crazier guys that I brought in. Flash could not only wrestle a conventional style but he could also do a wild, brawling style as well which was spot on perfect for the Puerto Rican audience. In Puerto Rico...they love wild brawls and emotion.
Not to spoil this for you, but this clip is another thing that is wrong with the wrestling business today but has been so accepted for so long, its now become the norm. The wrestling business wasn't intended to inflict serious harm on the performers and when too much 'reality' seeps in, that's why most wrestlers in ECW couldn't work 7 days in a row. They were all too banged up after three days to continue. Seriously, its a miracle that more guys haven't actually died while in the middle of a wrestling match. You'll know what I'm talking about when you click on the video.
That night in Bayamon, it was a completely SOLD OUT crowd...which was 'a norm during that era' but sadly isn't today. That night in Puerto Rico, the attendance was about 4500 fans which packed the building. The arena is OPEN AIR...no air conditioning, just whatever the weather is outside...is what it is inside. It was a great wrestling atmosphere and one that words can't describe. You would have to be there to really experience it. You don't have to watch the entire video but pay close attention at the 2:05 mark...then you'll see what I'm talking about.
This AUTHOR'S NOTE:
Flash walked away from this..how, I don't how but he did. A little Guardian Angel must have been sitting on his shoulder that night. Flash, all I have to say is that you're one lucky man.
Habana vs. Avriella in Puerto Rico
Of all the things that I did in Puerto Rico, this was one of my favorites. I had two girl talents while I was there. Neither one of them was very good in the ring...but I learned a long time ago, to maximize assets and to minimize liabilities. These two girls were former strippers on the island so what they lacked in wrestling expertise, they coule make up for it in other ways.
I booked a match between these two and called it a BEAUTY PAGEANT...however that translated into Spanish because I couldn't call it a STRIP OFF. One reason I couldn't is that, at the time, Puerto Rico had a woman governor who had effectively shut down all the strip clubs all over the island. Why? Hell, I don't know...I wasn't an elected official but she probably thought that strip clubs demeaned women. Since strip club aficianados couldn't go to the strip club, I thought I would bring the 'strip club' to them.
It was a great idea. Business was great but when I added the girls in, we had a great run in our secondary towns. A great show...and every night..not only was the arena full but they also sold out the curtain. Selling out the curtain is an old wrestling term which meant that the entire dressing room came out to see the match. Great show. See it for yourself with a video created by my good friend, Moody, who was great at this job. Judge for yourself.

Construction Underway for New Chick-fil-A Restaurant in Wichita Falls
The long wait is over! Well almost over.
The beloved 'Eat Mor Chikin' cows are on their way back to Wichita Falls. Construction for the new Chick-fil-A restaurant in Wichita Falls is underway in the Wichita Square shopping center on the corner of Kemp and Call Field - next to Chili's and in front of Shoe Carnival to be exact.
Although the return of Chick-fil-A is exciting news, many residents have already expressed their concerns about the chosen location for the new restaurant. Some are calling it a 'horrible location' that will prove to be a traffic and parking nightmare. Even if that is the case, there isn't much that will keep Chick-fil-A enthusiasts from getting a taste of those famous nuggets, sandwiches and waffle fries.
The Chick-fil-A in Wichita Falls will be a full size restaurant with over 100 indoor seats, play area, and a drive-thru. According to Wichita Falls Mayor Glenn Barham, the new Chick-fil-A will open its doors to the public sometime in May of this year.
Are you excited about the return of Chick-fil-A in Wichita Falls? Let us know what you think in the comments below!

Two new reports show gun homicides down since 1990s
Gun homicides have dropped steeply in the United States since their peak in 1993, a pair of reports released Tuesday showed, adding fuel to Congress' battle over whether to tighten restrictions on firearms.
A study released Tuesday by the government's Bureau of Justice Statistics found that gun-related homicides dropped from 18,253 in 1993 to 11,101 in 2011. That's a 39 percent reduction.
Another report by the private Pew Research Center found a similar decline by looking at the rate of gun homicides, which compares the number of killings to the size of the country's population. It found that the number of gun homicides per 100,000 people fell from 7 in 1993 to 3.6 in 2010, a drop of 49 percent.
Both reports also found the rate of non-fatal crimes involving guns was also down by around 70 percent over that period.
But perhaps because of the intense publicity generated by recent mass shootings such as the December massacre of 20 school children and six educators in Newtown, Conn., the public seems to have largely not noticed the reductions in gun violence, the Pew study shows.
The non-partisan group said a poll it conducted in March showed that 56 percent of people believe the number of gun crimes is higher than it was two decades ago. Only 12 percent said they think the number of gun crimes is lower, while the rest said they think it remained the same or didn't know.
The trend in firearm-related homicides is part of a broad nationwide decline in violent crime over past two decades, including incidents not involving firearms.
But handguns play a major role in violent crime. The Justice study said that in 2011, about 70 percent of all homicides were committed with a firearm, mainly a handgun.
The data was released three weeks after the Senate rejected an effort by gun control supporters to broaden the requirement for federal background checks for more firearms purchases. Senate Democratic leaders have pledged to hold that vote again, and gun control advocates have been raising public pressure on senators who voted "no" in hopes they will change their minds.
Gun rights advocates have argued that people are safer when they are allowed to own and carry guns. Those supporting gun control say that with more background checks, gun violence would drop because more criminals and mentally unstable people would be prevented from getting weapons.

Is it Easy to Use?
BibleWorks comes with a highly-configurable user interface, designed to work the way you work.

Read through the Bible...
Simple Searches
With BibleWorks, you can find it. Here are some examples of simple searches you can do with BibleWorks:
Greek & Hebrew Texts
Tons of Language Resources
BibleWorks comes with lexicons and dictionaries for Greek (Louw-Nida, Thayer, Friberg, Liddell-Scott, etc.), and Hebrew lexicons (Holladay, unabridged BDB-Gesenius 1905, condensed Pierce-Strong's BDB-Gesenius, Whitaker's abridged BDB, etc.), all unlocked. In addition to these, you can also purchase the separate BDAG and HALOT modules!
It's important to keep your language skills sharp, so BibleWorks also includes several Greek and Hebrew grammars (Burton, Conybeare, Davis, Joüon-Muraoka, Verbruggen, Wallace, Waltke & O'Connor, etc.). As you move the mouse over the text, you can quickly jump to all relevant sections in the BibleWorks collection of grammatical and lexical references.
In addition, BibleWorks comes with two complete sets of Greek NT sentence diagrams (Leedy, MacDonald), Greek and Hebrew flashcards (with audio), paradigm charts, and more!
If you dont have much experience with computers, or your Greek and Hebrew are rusty, the BibleWorks Autocomplete Morphology feature makes it simple to build complex grammatical and morphological searches. The Autocomplete Morphology feature lets you click and select any morphology from a list that automatically opens up as you start typing in a morphology. You can specify part of speech, tense, voice, mood, gender, case, number, stem, aspect, etc. The beginning user can easily construct detailed and complex language queries. (Advanced users who have mastered the codes can quickly type in queries using a terse query language.)
No artificial limits will impede your study and research when you search with BibleWorks. You can search for words, groups of words, phrases, parts of speech, tenses, etc. With the second-generation search engine, you can graphically construct complex queries. Put wildcards anywhere, search for articles and prepositions, and make the search condition as complex as possible. Look for repeated words in a string, specify agreement, exclude words, all in the same query! You can limit the search to an arbitrary collection of passages or books, or search the entire Bible. Theres no faster way to find these answers. Here are some examples of the more complex searches that are possible with BibleWorks:
When youre done searching, BibleWorks gives you detailed statistics and lets you transfer texts, verses, parallel passages from different versions, entire Bibles, and lexicon entries to your favorite word processor. When you need a break, BibleWorks lets you store your lists of verses for another day.
Overcome the barrier between you and the original language texts. With the BibleWorks Word Analysis feature, seeing and parsing the underlying Greek or Hebrew words is as simple as waving the mouse pointer. As the mouse moves over any word in a BibleWorks tagged text, the Greek or Hebrew lexicon definition for the original text is shown along with the parsing. When the mouse hovers over a word in a tagged text, a Popup Gloss window gives you a brief definition and morphology for the word. In addition to these helps, the Resource Summary Window automatically lists all relevant entries from the various lexicons and resources for the verse and word under the mouse. As you move over the text, the window automatically shows the opening line for all relevant entries. The following Bible versions are tagged: the Greek NT, the LXX, the Hebrew OT, the KJV, and the NAS, as well as some of the other English, German, French, Dutch, and Russian versions. Additional texts such as Josephus, Philo, and the Apostolic Fathers are tagged also.
Any Parallel Bible
If you like working with parallel columns, simply click on the translations you want to see. The Parallel Versions window puts the Bibles in parallel columns where you can scroll the columns in sync, or independently. BibleWorks lets you save all of your favorite parallel versions configurations in a convenient menu so that you can easily pull up your NKJV-Greek NT-NRSV or NAS-Lutherbibel-BHS Hebrew-LXX parallel window with just a click of the mouse. You get Word Analysis here, too, as well as tight links to the lexicons and dictionaries.
In the Browse Window, the Bible versions you are studying are shown in a single window with the passage from each text. This is the basic work-horse window of BibleWorks.
Dig Into the Greek and Hebrew Manuscripts
Peek behind the translation, and check the underlying Greek and Hebrew manuscripts. BibleWorks comes with the complete CNTTS NT critical apparatus and the Tischendorf apparatus. In addition, the BibleWorks Manuscript Project gives complete text transcriptions and high-resolution images sets for Sinaiticus, Vaticanus, Alexandrinus, Bezae, Washingtonianus, Boernerianus, and GA1141. For the Old Testament we include the entire image set of the Leningrad Codex
Write a Commentary
Type in Greek and Hebrew
BibleWorks comes with TrueType and Unicode fonts for accented Greek and pointed Hebrew. The fonts can be used in Windows word processors and print beautifully. With the built-in editor, you can also take notes in English, Greek, and right-to-left Hebrew. The samples below use the BibleWorks Greek and Hebrew fonts.
In addition, BibleWorks supports Unicode fonts, so you can easily export text to the font of your choice.
Arrange the Furniture
BibleWorks accommodates users who spend significant amounts of time with the program. In response to the variety of user suggestions, window sizes, window placement, output format, abbreviations, and font sizes can all be customized. In addition, many requests for mouse and keyboard short-cuts have been put into the program. Fewer clicks save wrists!
Our Commitment

"It took me three years, gifts across multiple countries and many impeccable fulfillment from GiftbasketOverseas to write this review. So u can understand what a nosy customer I am :). If they can satisfy me, trust me, you would be no exception. I always had a lot of "when to be delivered", "how to be delivered", "Digital proof", "last minute ordering" and what not. But I must appreciate the team for patiently giving me a hearing and delivering exactly the way I wanted, even on a Sunday at times. The entire team, communication and experience was wonderful. I would recommend them to anyone wanting to send gifts to their near and dear ones across the globe.

Yeah, I went to look on eBay and didn't see any in a 36L in brands I'd recommend.
I can tell you what my tailor would charge:
$35 to bring in the coat at the center seam to make the shoulders fit
$15 to lengthen the sleeves
with that they'd probably throw in bringing in the sides, but that might be another $15
$15 to hem and taper the pants
So I think you'll probably be able to get out under $100, but maybe ask for an estimate if you don't have a lot of experience with your tailor. It might be a good way to pick a tailor if you don't have one... ask them what they'd do with this suit and see what they say.

Aggies Run Past Tigers in College Station
COLLEGE STATION, TX -- Junior Bri Kulas led the Tigers in scoring on Sunday, for her 14th game in double-figures this season.
Despite a strong effort, the Tigers fell to the Aggies, 77-58, dropping to 13-8 overall, 2-5 SEC this season.
Freshman Lianna Doty was an asset on the floor as she recorded a career-high eight assists, half of Missouri's 16 assists on the game.
Texas A&M started the contest making two three-pointers in a row, on a Tiger team that has entered every league game with a better three-point shooting percentage than its opponent. After making another bucket, Mizzou was able to gain possession, and junior Bri Kulas put the Tigers on the board.
A 7-2 run in the Tigers' favor followed, thanks to a jumper from Liene Priede and six points from Kulas.
The Aggies got to work for the rest of the half, putting up 48 points to the Tigers' 20.
Senior Liene Priede finished the first half with five points for Mizzou, making a key three-pointer at the end of the half. Liz Smith added another four points for the Tigers as well. Freshman Lianna Doty dished four of Missouri's seven assists in the first half.
Missouri came out of the locker room with a vengeance, starting the half with seven straight points after an Aggie three-pointer. At the first media timeout of the half, the Tigers had cut in to the Aggies lead, trailing 51-27. Mizzou continued to chip away at Texas A&M's lead, putting up six straight points leading into the next break in play. Freshman Darian Saunders sparked the run near the 14-minute mark, and both Kulas and Sydney Crafton hit layups before the break. Priede hit a three-pointer as play resumed, making her a perfect 2-for-2 from behind the arc.
The Aggies responded with another six points before sending Doty to the free throw line where she sank both shots to make it 62-43. Crafton answered an Aggie Layup, and Morgan Eye answered an Aggie three-pointer with one of her own, but it wasn't enough to catch up to Texas A&M.
Morgan Stock and Bree Fowler put up points for the Tigers in the final minutes, and Fowler's seven points on the day were just one away from her career-high of eight.
Missouri Women's Basketball will return to Columbia to host the Florida Gators on Thursday, Jan. 31 at 7 p.m. The Tigers also welcome the Tennessee Lady Vols next Sunday at 1 p.m.

City "Rolls Out" New Recycling Containers
The City will soon "roll out" new recycling containers for the curbside recycling program that will make recycling easier and more convenient. The new, larger containers, equipped with wheels, will allow residents to recycle more types of materials, and eliminates the need to sort them.
The new recycling cart holds a larger quantity of recyclables, keeps contents dry, reduces litter, and is easier to place at the curb. Here are some things you should know about your new cart:
- The recycling cart should be placed at the curb, not in the alley, for collection.
- The cart should not be used for trash disposal.
- Remember the number on your cart, so that you can identify it if it should go missing.
- The cart belongs to the City of Alexandria, and it should remain at your home if you move.
- Starting December 1, after all cart deliveries have been completed, recycling customers who want a larger or smaller cart will be able to exchange their cart for a different size.
To learn more about the City's recycling program, visit alexandriava.gov/Recycling or call 703.746.4410.
City Begins FY 2012 Budget Planning Process
The City of Alexandria anticipates Fiscal Year (FY) 2012, which begins July 1, 2011, to be another challenging year as it continues to strategically plan for its future. In lieu of the traditional Council Retreat, City Council is receiving preliminary information regarding the FY 2012 Budget at a series of four evening work sessions, which began October 18. These work sessions include content designed to prepare Council to provide budget guidance to the City Manager, which will occur at the November 23 Legislative Meeting.
Upcoming Budget Work Sessions are scheduled for Monday, November 8 (7 p.m., in Sister Cities Conference Room 1101 in City Hall) and Tuesday, November 16 at George Washington Middle School, 1005 Mt. Vernon Ave. (3rd floor), at 7 p.m.. For more information on the Fiscal Year 2012 budget process, visit alexandriava.gov/Budget.
Fall Leaf Collection

Pick up leaf collection bags at various locations throughout the City: City Hall, 2900 Business Center Drive, and the Charles Barrett, Chinquapin Park, William Ramsey, and Mount Vernon Recreation Centers. Visit alexandriava.gov/LeafCollection or call 703.746.4410 for more information about leaf pickup in your area.
Alexandria Resident Races Globally, Acts Locally
Brooke Sydnor Curran has put many miles on her running shoes. However, unlike most of us, she does not do it just to stay in shape. This native Virginian and Alexandria resident is dedicated to running marathons in seven continents, 50 states, and five major competitions—to raise funds for charities that aid Alexandrians in need. To meet this goal, Curran runs one marathon per month, paying her own travel expenses and race entry fees, so that all funds raised go to the charities.
So far, she has run marathons in five continents: North America (in various races); South America, where she placed first in a race in Easter Island, Chile; Europe (Berlin); Asia (on the Great Wall of China); and Australia (Ayer's Rock in the Outback). She plans to run in Africa and in Antarctica in 2012. To date, she has run in 14 states, and in 23 marathons.
Curran partners with ACT for Alexandria, the city's local community foundation, to administer the RunningBrookeFund, which awards funds she has raised by running these races to charitable organizations. In 2009, the RunningBrookeFund awarded $20,000 to Child and Family Network Centers, an organization that provides preschool and related social services to at-risk children and families.
Her goal for 2010 is to raise $50,000 for five charities: Girls on the Run; Community Lodgings; The Reading Connection; ACT for Alexandria; and the Child and Family Network Centers. To learn more about the RunningBrookeFund or to make a donation, visit www.runningbrooke.com.
City Wins Virginia Municipal League Achievement Award, Green Government Certification
The City of Alexandria recently won two honors from the Virginia Municipal League (VML): the VML 2010 Achievement Award and Platinum-level certification in the organization's Green Government Challenge.
Alexandria won the Achievement Award for the mixed-use and sustainable design features of the Station at Potomac Yard, which maximizes land use by combining a fire station, 64 units of affordable and workforce rental housing, and retail space. The Achievement Award is given to local municipalities for their commitment to innovative and cost-effective local government. VML received more than 60 entries for judging in six categories: five based on population and one for communications programs and projects open to local governments of all sizes. Last year, the City won the Achievement Award in communications.
The City was also named a "Green Government" for the third straight year, earning Platinum certification (the highest level) in the Green Government Challenge. The City received innovation points for its Eco-City Alexandria initiative, which includes the Eco-City Charter, Environmental Action Plan 2030, Green Building Policy and Urban Forestry Master Plan.
The Green Government Challenge is a friendly competition designed to encourage jurisdictions to implement specific environmental policies and practical actions that reduce the carbon emissions generated by both the local government and the broader community.
To become a certified "Green Government," cities, towns, and counties can register and earn "green points" by implementing or adopting 30 policies and actions in 11 categories. Amassing at least 100 "green points" out of a possible 200 will earn a certification as a "Green Government." Those with 175 points or more are certified Platinum.
New Art for Old Town: "Sacandaga Totem"
On September 21, the steel and granite sculpture "Sacandaga Totem," by world renowned artist John Van Alstine, was placed in the center of Old Town Alexandria at 1200-A King Street (corner of King, South Fayette and Commerce Streets). Van Alstine's work is the first exterior, non-figurative sculpture to be installed in public space in the City's Old and Historic District.
"Sacandaga Totem" is a gift by the not-for-profit Alexandria Sculpture Festival (ASF), founded in 1978 by a group of Alexandrians interested in promoting modern sculpture in public spaces in the City's Old and Historic District. Van Alstine's work is represented in the U.S. and internationally in major museums, private collections and in public spaces, in venues such as the Beijing Olympic Garden, Indianapolis International Airport, Tsinghua University (Beijing), and most recently, at Michigan State University.
For more information about "Sacandaga Totem," and about on the arts in Alexandria, visit www.alexandriava.gov/Arts.
Arlington County Board/Alexandria City Council Hold Joint Work Session
The Alexandria City Council and the Arlington County Board held a joint work session on Thursday, Oct. 14 to continue to coordinate their efforts on key transportation, land use and restoration projects that affect both communities. This was the first time in recent history that the two bodies have held such a joint session.
The City Council and County Board discussed the Planned Crystal City-Potomac Yard Corridor development and transit initiatives; the Four Mile Run Restoration Project; the Columbia Pike Corridor and Beauregard Corridor transit initiatives; and energy planning and opportunities at the Energy-from-Waste facility.
City of Alexandria Installs Bike Signal to Increase Safety and Compliance
As part of its continuing efforts to increase bicyclist safety and compliance at various crossings throughout Alexandria, last June the City submitted a formal request to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) to use a bicycle signal to evaluate its potential effectiveness modifying bicyclist and motorist behavior. The request was approved in July.
The new signal, the first of its kind in the Commonwealth of Virginia, is located near the Porto Vecchio Condominiums driveway at the intersection of South Alfred and South Washington streets. The signal will increase bicyclist compliance at this intersection, which is a crossing on the Mount Vernon Trail, and improve safety for trail users and motorists. The trail experiences a peak of more than 300 bicyclists per hour during the summer months.
City Completes First Neighborhood Stabilization Program Grant
The City and two nonprofit partners, the Alexandria Housing Development Corporation (AHDC) and Rebuilding Together Alexandria (RTA), have exceeded the goals with their first-ever Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) grant. This program provides funding for local governments and nonprofit agencies to acquire, rehabilitate and re-sell vacant, abandoned and foreclosed properties. NSP is designed to help stabilize targeted areas that are most severely affected by the foreclosure crisis.
The City's approach was unique because Alexandria partnered with local nonprofits and private sector supporters to accomplish its goals. AHDC acquired the eligible properties, RTA completed renovations that included measures to reduce energy use, and the City counseled and assisted first-time, low-income homebuyers in purchasing the properties. The City and its partners are one of the first programs in Virginia to successfully complete a property acquisition and re-sale using NSP funds. The City plans to continue the program next year using income from the sale of acquired properties. For more information on home purchase assistance programs, contact the Office of Housing at 703.746.4990.

As the holidays approach, reach out to the neediest in our community and sponsor a family, a senior citizen or person with disabilities, a foster child, or a teen.

Alexandria Mentoring Partnership Seeks New Volunteers
The Alexandria Mentoring Partnership is looking for mentors for Alexandria's children this school year. Won't you consider helping? Mentoring is proven to keep kids in school, help them to avoid trouble and expand their horizons! Consider donating 1-2 hours a week during this school year. Contact Loralei Coyle at 703.746.4506 or email@example.com.
Just Say "No" to Influenza!
With the onset of Fall's cool weather comes the flu season. Be prepared! This year's flu shot will protect against the H1N1 virus that caused so much illness last season, as well as other seasonal influenza viruses. The flu vaccine comes in two forms—the injected flu "shot," and a nasal flu mist. You should get the 2010–11 seasonal flu vaccine even if you got the 2009 H1N1 flu vaccine last season.
Flu shots are offered in many places, including doctors' offices, clinics, pharmacies, and other locations. Contact your doctor or visit www.flu.gov. The Alexandria Health Department, 4480 King St., is also offering free flu vaccinations. For clinic hours, visit alexandriava.gov/Health or call 703.746.4400.
In addition to getting vaccinated, remember to stop the spread of flu by washing your hands, covering your cough with a tissue or sleeve, and staying home if you're sick.
