From lounges to dancefloors, Bumblebeez blend a not-so-seamless mix of pretty much everything, Chris Colonna tells Richard MacFarlane…
I had unfortunately missed Bumblebeez at a festival that could probably be considered Australia's Glastonbury, Splendour in the Grass. I was busy making my way from one bar to another, and in between I bumped into a friend of mine who is pals with the band. "I've just been dancing in a panda suit on stage with the Bumblebeez!" she exclaimed, understandably excited. It was dusty, hot; I squinted in the sun and scalded myself for missing an act that, by the sounds of it, were great, and for only managing to see decidedly average bands with the same old ideas of live performance: strutting around with guitars looking cool. Who needs it! Not me, and not Chris Colonna, either.
"I get really bored with it. People often seem to want this safe sort of option, especially in Australia. It's great to listen to on a CD at home but if I go to a live show I want to be entertained. I find it really quite boring, especially because so many people seem to be into it. Everything needs to be so neat and tidy.
"I don't want it just to be just a crazy punk show, I want it to really step up and go to more of an arty, visual sort of treat, with a lot of animations and lasers to take it that next step over. Saying that, it'll take a lot of preparation. The dreams that I have and the goals that I want to have do cost a lot, but we're definitely focused on achieving them.
"It's not that we try to go against what else is going on in Australia and the world as far as live shows or making music goes; I'm not sure if that's the case. I don't know if its growing up in the country that meant we don't have any discipline of subculture to be part of, we've always just done our own thing."
They're now based in Sydney, but growing up in Braidwood, an absurdly small country town in Australia, Bumblebeez' Chris listened to Nirvana, early Chilli Peppers, NWA and a lot of party hip-hop jams; whatever anyone in Braidwood could get their hands on, really. It's hard to get access to decent music coming from this sort of place but Chris is resourceful; he had to be. Still, it's exciting how many different styles are mashed together on their debut album, Prince Umberto And The Sister Of Ill. Furthermore, it's amazing how good they are at putting on different masks and executing these different styles. It's not an especially Australian sound, and in a way it's hard to recognise them as an Australian band (I heard about them on the internet a long time before I head them here in Australia). Maybe they are inherently Aussie in their approach: DIY, appropriating styles in a post-modern way, making them their own, even if the sounds they like are mostly American. It's how culture works in this postcolonial island; hugely Americanized, or just everythingized. You know, globalization 'n' shit.
The new album is a strange mix of sounds; it's like a mixtape of sorts, mostly rooted in hip-hop territory, but crossing over into all sorts of styles and genres and sub-genres, though the titles for these seem redundant talking to Chris. It all seems very instinctive for him…
"I pretty much based all my production on the same style. Someone like RZA is a good link, or a lot of the ways that hip-hop music is made. Even if I'm making a rock song, it'll still be based in hip-hop production."
Chris doesn't do all of the production himself, and on the new album he worked with James Ford, who came out from England to Chris' lounge and bedroom after working with the likes of Justice and Arctic Monkeys (he's also a member of Simian Mobile Disco). It was in his house where over 30 tracks were recorded for the album. And from this house to dancefloors everywhere, Bumblebeez's skuzzy lo-fi pop is always frenetic. It works this way; he's a pretty chilled out guy, suited to recording in the comforts of home rather than some sterile studio.
"A lot of people were saying I should go into the studio and get a more hi-fi or sonic sound and I tried it. We did that for about two years but in the end I just deleted it all; it just felt wrong, going to these places that you don't know and trying to make something. So we went back to the place where I've always done it. I don't know if it was a sentimental thing, but it just felt right doing it at home. The whole process, with James coming over, it was all very relaxed."
It's quite a poppy record, but there's an undercurrent of weirdness. It's just that little bit off; it's 'I Am the Walrus', it's a sunny psychedelic rollercoaster that goes through the occasional dark tunnel. It warbles.
"It's quite a dramatic record, it changes. It does go from, say, a hip-hop song to a punk song to a weird psychedelic love song. It's like a journal; a music journal of my life at the time. I guess the way that I've segued it together, I was trying to make it like a crazy mixtape. It jumps through all genres of music and goes in and out. I wanted to make it quite 'ADD' as well; something that doesn't really give you a chance to settle with it. I don't know why I like that but I always have; even on the radio I'm always flicking from one station to another all the time."
Chris concludes: "It's just like painting really; you find different ways of making different marks." A heavy-handed metaphor, perhaps, but extremely apt, especially considering how colourful Bumblebeez's music is.
Bumblebeez's 'Dr Love' single is released on October 22 via Modular; their MySpace site can be found here.

Former chief lawyer for the Pentagon will face questions on authorizing drone strikes, immigration and customs enforcement approach and anti-terrorism policy.
Jeh Johnson, President Obama's pick for Homeland Security secretary, is making the rounds on Capitol Hill this week with senators who will decide the fate of his nomination.
Johnson's nomination was formally sent up to Capitol Hill on Monday, and the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee plans to have a confirmation hearing soon. The former chief lawyer for the Pentagon is expected to be asked a range of questions -- from what role he played in authorizing drone strikes to his approach to Immigration and Customs Enforcement, an agency within the Homeland Security Department. Senators also plan to ask Johnson about his views on what to do with Guantanamo Bay detainees and his stance on antiterrorism policy, among other topics.
In advance of Johnson's meeting with committee members, Republicans were wary of prematurely passing judgment Tuesday. Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., the ranking member on the panel, said he understands that Johnson is widely respected but has several questions waiting for him when they meet Wednesday. "I have a long list of questions that have been sent to him," he told National Journal. "So we are real early in the stage. He has a real great reputation by everyone I've talked to as far as being a man of integrity."
Sen. Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H., another committee member, said she plans to meet with Johnson on Wednesday and is focused on several national security issues. "I want to ask him about terrorism policy and Guantanamo and some other issues," she said. "I want to talk to him about these issues so I haven't made any judgment yet."
Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, who also serves on the committee, said he is reserving judgment until he learns more about Johnson. "I just don't know enough about him yet. I prefer to hold off," he said, adding he hoped to have a chance to talk with Johnson. "We'll have an opportunity to have a first shot at it."
Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin, D-Ill., who does not serve on Homeland Security but is a member of Senate leadership and has raised concerns about drone policy, is slated to meet with Johnson later this week.
Although Republican senators have largely withheld their views on Johnson, there are a few exceptions. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., announced Monday he was planning to put holds on all administration nominees until the public gets to hear from survivors of the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, last year.
Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., has said that Johnson will have to answer a litany of questions to show his ability to manage a sprawling department that suffers from low morale, and demonstrate that enforcement of immigration laws will remain free of politics. "This nomination should focus the attention of the Congress and the country on the open refusal of DHS political appointees to impartially execute their law-enforcement mission," Sessions said in a statement when Johnson was nominated earlier this month.

Late last year Audi launched their challenger for the 2011 Le Mans 24 Hours. Unlike its predecessors it will be a coupe instead of an open prototype.
Before looking at the new R18 TDi here is an evolutionary look at Audi at Le Mans since 1999.
In 1999 Audi had two different approaches to the 24 hours, the R8C coupe…
and the open prototype Audi R8R…
In 2000 Audi won Le Mans with the Audi R8. Audi dominated at Le Mans with this car, winning in 2000, 2001, 2002, 2004 and 2005.
In 2003 Bentley won at Le Mans with their Speed 8. This car was built by Audi, had an Audi engine and run by the Audi works team.
In 2006 Audi launched the R10 TDi, a V12 turbo diesel rather than the V8 petrol turbo that they had used in the R8 and Speed 8. It won at Le Mans in 2006, 2007 and 2008.
In 2007 Peugeot launched their 908 turbo diesel which while proving faster than the R10 TDi, was much more fragile. In 2009 Audi launched their successor to the R10 Tdi, the R15 TDi. The R15 TDi used a V10 turbo diesel engine. This car proved to be little faster than the R10 TDi and was beaten by the Peugeots in 2009, although it did win Le Mans in 2010 mainly due to the Peugeots unreliability.
In December 2010 Audi released the R18 TDi, which will use a V6 turbo diesel engine.

This is a continuation of story of my family history related trip to Hawaii for the past two weeks. Our first day was full of meeting "new" cousins and seeing historic sites related to the Dominis family and Queen Lili'uokalani. This next day we checked out of our hotel on Waikiki Beach, Oahu to board a cruise ship to see the islands of Maui, Hawaii and Kauai. This was the vacation part of the trip, so I won't go into great detail about the cruise, except to mention a few things:
The ship "Pride of America" very graciously has set aside quite a bit of space along the corridor of deck six to a historical museum showcasing the Kingdom of Hawaii, in particular the years of Queen Lili'uokalani and her brother King Kalakua, the "Merry Monarch". This is located at the top of the grand staircase most modern cruise ships have on the main entry level deck. I passed by it every day on the way to the dining rooms and theater, and we photographed most of the items on display.
The "Pride of America" also has a cultural advisor on board the entire cruise, and she would give a demonstration, lecture or show several times a day. She was available for questions, and gave advice for shore excursions and historical sites at each port. We even learned a bit of the Hawaiian language. This was wonderful to know, and we tried to take advantage of most of her offerings all week.
There was a Hawaiian entertainer who sang almost every night at the martini bar. He sang a variety of popular music, mixed in with songs sung in the Hawaiian language. We only went up to hear him a few nights, but when my husband asked him to sing one of Queen Lili'uokalani's songs he was very happy to fulfill our request. I didn't want to hear another version of "Aloha Oe", which we had heard a few times other places, but he was able to sing a lovely Hawaiian language ballad I never heard before. A very nice surprise, and I wish I could remember the name of the tune! Other than this singer, the other Hawaiian bands on board seemed to be the usual type you would find in tourist areas, singing touristy Hawaiian music.

The Stagecrafters theater, 8130 Germantown Ave., presents the political thriller "Mud, River, Stone," by award-winning author Lynn Nottage, opening on Friday, April 8, for a three-weekend run. I
ts action unfolds somewhere in Africa, as two vacationing African-American Manhattanites, Sarah and David Bradley, take a wrong turn off a paved road and end up stranded during a rainstorm in a seedy Colonial-era hotel in the middle of nowhere, together with an assorted lot of both black and white strandees.
Suddenly what started out as a romanticized journey to their roots takes on absurd dimensions, by turns scary and sardonically funny, "… a most unexpected and bizarre adventure … " [N. Y. Daily News].
Award-winning author Lynn Nottage (born in 1964) has several notable plays among her published work, of which her best known, "Intimate Apparel," was produced at The Stagecrafters in 2008. She received the signal honor of the MacArthur Genius Grant in 2007 and the Pulitzer Prize for her latest play, "Ruined," in 2009.
"Mud, River, Stone" premiered in 1997 at Playwrights Horizons in New York City, to very favorable notices, for example: "… Nottage pulls off a deft bait-and-switch with her new play, [seducing] us into believing we're settling into a sardonically funny vacation-from-hell travelogue, then bringing in elements that are … deeply thought-provoking." (N. Y. Newsday).
Performance dates are April 8, 9, 14, 15, 16, 21, 22, 23 at 8 p.m., April 10, 17, 24 at 2 p.m. Tickets are priced at $15. (Thursday eve performances "2 for $20.")

Always Free To Place a Hit On Someone
LeBron James is walking history, and he added more chapters to his incredible career Thursday night, leading a final vanquishing of the Boston Celtics as the Cleveland Cavaliers won the Eastern Conference finals with a 135-102 Game 5 victory. A number of James' points have come against the legendary Celtics franchise. This time, he walked off the floor to collect his eighth conference championship trophy with 979 career playoff points against Boston. No one has scored more points against any team in the playoffs than James has against the Celtics http://www.officialmarlinstore.com/Andre_Dawson_Jersey over the past 10 years. He has now ended their postseason four times in the past seven. James was mobbed by teammates, embracing him and shouting in his ear, in awe of his accomplishment. James doesn't like to talk about scoring numbers; he never wants to be classified as someone who just scores. He also claims to not worry about history, promising to push it off until he's watching the sun set on his career. "Think the biggest thing for me sitting here today after breaking the all-time scoring record in playoff history is that I did it just being me," James said. "I don't have to score the ball to make an impact in the basketball game. That was my mindset when I started playing the game." But his face belied his emotions this time. He was proud, and he should be; he could once only dream of being on the same level as Jordan. With each thunderous performance -- and this postseason has been full of them as the Cavs, 12-1 in these playoffs, coasted into a rematch with the Golden State Warriors -- he draws ever closer to his idol. More germane to the present, the Cavs officially rebounded from their out-of-character Game 3 loss and their shaky first half in Game 4 with a game of vicious execution and momentum. They have earned a rubber match with the Warriors, setting up one of the most anticipated NBA Finals in recent memory. Game 1 is next Thursday, and the tension between two giants that have spent most of the past three years eyeing each other will be released. "This team is a crazy team," Cavs coach Ty Lue said. "They just stayed resilient all year, got to the playoffs, and we really stepped our game up." As the Cavs' stars did throughout the East Jose Bautista Authentic Jersey finals, they worked together in fire-breathing tandem Thursday. In Game 4, Kyrie Irving, Kevin Love and James combined to produce 103 points (scoring or assisting). They were done by the end of the third quarter in Thursday's Game 5, but they still scored or assisted on 34 of the team's 38 baskets while in the game. Irving did more of his dancing and general trickery, recording 24 points and seven assists. Love finished off the finest playoff series of his career with 15 points and 11 rebounds. His impact was greater than the numbers, and it showed in his plus-43 in just 28 minutes. "It feels good to, as a team, collectively play some really inspired and really good basketball," Love said. "I know toward the end of the season there were some rough patches. There were times where collectively we could have been better, but I think that we showed that if we have a great game plan and we play inspired basketball, we're a tough team to beat." Late in the third quarter, James splashed a 3-pointer from the left wing and spun, holding a finger in the air. The shot put him past Jordan for the most points in playoffs history: 5,995 and counting after James concluded another masterpiece with 35 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists. The team, however, all wanted to take a step back to shove James forward. This night was as much about him as he would allow. Though he moved on from accepting conference titles as validation a long time ago, the older he gets, the more he has learned to appreciate the moment. This was yet another in a long line of impressive moments. BOSTON -- It's not every day http://www.officialbluejaysproshop.com that someone passes Michael Jordan. It's not every day that someone goes to his seventh consecutive NBA Finals. The comparisons to Michael Jordan have been following LeBron James since he entered the NBA in 2003. Jordan was so much of an inspiration to James, it's the reason why he wears No. 23 today. While it took James more games to get the record, he also accomplished it on 120 fewer shots than Jordan. During his rookie season, James averaged 20.9 points, 5.5 rebounds and 5.9 assists. He became the first player to average 20-5-5 since Jordan. This was the first of many stats that James and Jordan would find each other sharing. Fast forward to the present, James finds himself eclipsing Jordan for first on the all-time postseason scoring list. The feat came during Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Boston Celtics. Chasing the "Ghost of Chicago," has been a personal goal of James since he made it public last summer. He was asked about the comparisons during the Cavaliers' shootaround this morning. "It's just a personal goal of mine," James http://www.officialpiratesproshop.com/Drew_Hutchison_Jersey said on Thursday. "It has nothing to do with passing the rings, passing the points, passing the MVPs. It's just my personal goal to keep me motivated – that's all." James and Jordan have two different playing styles. Jordan was a pure scorer. James is a playmaker at heart, no matter how many scoring records he breaks. James' skillset can be compared to that of a swiss army knife. He can score when needed, he can crash the glass and grab rebounds and most notably, he's one of the best passers the league has ever witnessed. With the win against the Celtics, James has managed to reach his seventh consecutive NBA Finals. Jordan never experienced a streak of this magnitude. Maybe if he didn't retire in order to play baseball, he would've done the same. Some broadcasters believe James will never surpass Jordan's overall legacy simply because of his 3-4 NBA Finals record. Jordan went unblemished (6-0) and never let a Finals series reach a Game 7. Others will never let James off the hook for his disappointing performance during the 2011 NBA Finals, in which his Miami Heat lost in six games to the Dallas Mavericks. In his defense, he has a pretty compelling case for "greatest of all time" debates. James has three championships and three Finals MVPs, and could win a fourth for each if the Cavaliers manage to defeat the Golden State Warriors next month. He is a four-time regular season MVP, and could have more if it wasn't for voters' fatigue. And now he is the all-time leader in playoff points, and counting. How long can he keep this high level Tony Watson Youth Jersey of performance up? Only time will tell. It would be utter dominance if James manages to win three more championships. Even if he doesn't, he ended a 52-year title drought for the city of Cleveland. He led the Cavaliers to their first title in franchise history.

Does sending a Hallmark greeting card or a family photo in matching sweaters this holiday feel a bit dated? You may want to take cues from families who thought outside the box this season and made some unconventional Christmas cards.
The Holderness family of Raleigh, N.C., created a video card, called "Christmas Jammies," complete with its own hashtag, #XMASJAMMIES, that has gone viral. The video is set to Will Smith's "Miami" and features the family of four-- dad Penn, wife Kim, six-year-old daughter Lola, and 4-year-old son Penn Charles-- wearing matching pajamas and rapping about each family member's individual accomplishments this past year.
There are usual updates – new family car, mom and daughter competing in a triathlon, son playing an Indian chief in a recital – but personal details make the cut too.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
"There's room for child number three," Penn sings, pointing to a stroller. "But I can't. I just had a vasectomy."
Penn, who has worked as an anchor for WNCN, also announces mid-video that he's quitting his job to launch a new marketing and media company with his wife, who has experience in the entertainment industry.
"Going to quit his job and come work with his wife," Kim raps.
The video now leads the family's new media site.
The Holdernesses are not the only ones showing off their Christmas spirit in a quirky way. A family in Marshfield, Wis., decided to recreate the nativity scene for their Christmas card. Their version included the family dogs, a llama and a cow.
On Thanksgiving, the Bymers dressed up as angels, shepherds, wise men, and Mary and Joseph and used sheets from a thrift store, Halloween angel wings and aluminum foil for their costumes, according to WAOW.com.
Nancy Bymers said she hoped the family card reminded people of two things that matter the most during the Holidays: family and the true meaning of Christmas.
But what kind of card should you send if your loved one didn't celebrate Christmas? One couple found a perfect solution.
Photographers Scott Burry and Dani Vernon have been dating for four years and decided that it's time to send out their first holiday card as a couple. Burry celebrates Christmas while Dani celebrates Hanukkah, so for their card they turned their studio into a half-Christmas, half-Hanukkah scene. The quirky card idea went viral.
"We really did it to have some fun with our family and friends," Burry said. "It shows that we both come from different backgrounds, but in the end, we celebrate the holiday season together with our families and enjoy the traditions on both sides."
Another holiday card going viral this year is from JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon. The card includes a panoramic view with Dimon, his wife and three daughters, a dog and a young man playing indoor tennis in an opulent apartment. It comes after the Wall Street bank resolved its impasse with the U.S. government, after incurring a huge fine.
"All you need is love" reads the back of Dimon's card, according to Quartz.
But no one does a more over the top Christmas card than the Kardashian-Jenner clan. For years the family has dressed up in coordinating designer duds and struck fierce poses in one glamorous shot.
This year's card, however, has an odd Casino Hollywood-theme and was missing Rob Kardashian, Scott Disick as well as Khloe's soon to be ex-husband Lamar Odom. Kim's fiancé Kanye West and their daughter North were not included either. Bruce Jenner, who is now separated from momager Kris, appears trapped in a glass case.

DUI Double Standard Continues
I posted stories a few days ago about favorable treatment recently given to a prosecutor ("The Untouchables") and a DUI police officer ("The Untouchables – Sequel") arrested in separate incidents for drunk driving. To complete the law enforcement triangle, the Denver Post reports on the latest application of the double standard in DUI cases, this time for a judicial appointee who just got the same treatment (presumably not yet available to the general public):
A man appointed to be a judge in Arapahoe County pleaded guilty in Denver on Thursday to speeding, while prosecutors dropped charges of driving under the influence of alcohol and careless driving.
If Vincent R. White, 41, had been convicted of the DUI charge, it would have been his second drinking-and-driving-related conviction in four years. White pleaded guilty in 2001 to driving while ability impaired in Arapahoe County.
In August, Gov. Bill Owens appointed White to fill a judicial vacancy on the Arapahoe County District Court. Dan Hopkins, Owens' spokesman, said White spoke in his job interview about his remorse over the conviction and his efforts to prevent others from drinking and driving.
In January, a Denver police officer stopped White on Park Avenue West for speeding, smelled alcohol and asked if White had been drinking. White, who felt the stop was the result of racial profiling, told the officer he had about a glass of wine and wouldn't take a sobriety test, said White's attorney, Craig Truman.
White is expected to be sworn in as a judge later this month. Hopkins said Owens believes the recent case "raises some concerns," but he said at this point the appointment cannot be rescinded.

Harness Racing: Trotting
Harness racing is a form of racing only open to Standardbreds (in North America). This form of racing involves horses pulling carts with drivers controlling them. Standardbreds perform either at the trot or at the pace when they race. Trotting is a gait in which the horse moves his or her legs in diagonal pairs (left front and right rear, right front and left rear). Trotting is slightly slower than pacing.

World Laughter Day was created in 1998 by Dr. Madan Kataria, founder of the worldwide Laughter Yoga movement. The celebration of World Laughter Day is a positive manifestation for world peace and is intended to build up a global consciousness of brotherhood and friendship through laughter. Its popularity has grown exponentially with that of the Laughter Yoga movement now counting thousands of Laughter Clubs in more than 72 countries.
Apart from social laughter clubs, now Laughter Yoga is being practiced in companies, senior centers, colleges, schools, hospitals, fitness studios, physically mentally challenged organizations and prisons etc.
We are surrounded with a sea of negativity - violence, natural disasters, global warming, bad economy and other stressors. It has become almost a challenge to maintain a positive mental state. With such insecurities and high stress levels it is not easy to stay healthy. Despite modern advances people are falling sick. Depression is number one sickness while diabetes, hypertension, heart disease and cancer are becoming pandemic worldwide. Governments all over the world are finding it difficult to meet health care costs.
This is where Laughter Yoga is an ideal solution. It is the easiest, safest and the most cost effective solution for physical, mental, social and spiritual well being. It contributes powerfully to maintain health and happiness of the individuals. In fact, United Nations has already endorsed Bhutans proposition of measuring nations Gross happiness Index rather than GDP. If people all over the world are not happy and healthy, they will not have peace within, thereby leading to discontentment and hostility in this world.
The motto of all Laughter Clubs is We don't laugh because we are happy, we are happy because we laugh. Unconditional laughter has the power to change the inner chemistry and make us feel good inside. When you feel good inside the way we see the outer world changes. Inner change is the key to see the change in the outer world.
Laughter is a positive energy. While Laughter Yoga exercises bring good health and well being, the Inner Spirit of Laughter will help us to understand the deeper meaning of life. By understanding the ways and means of sensible living through Laughter Clubs we can bring peace within us and inner peace will bring peace in the outer world.
In Laughter Clubs we have a simple formula for world peace: When you laugh, you change and when you change, the world changes around you.
WLD celebration is the congregation of laughter club members, their families and friends at some important landmark in their city like big squares, public parks or auditoriums and laugh collectively. They pray for world peace.
We invite you to join us WLD celebrations and be a part of spreading the message of good health, joy and world peace.

Quick! How many shopping days left?
Wait. Before you answer that, I have a point to make. (By which I mean: I have a rant to… rant.) Am I the only one who's still digesting the last of the turkey leftovers? Who's still in possession of one final, lonely slice of pumpkin pie? These are rather delightful things, you know, the remnants of a triptophan coma, the taste of that once-a-year treat, but they become hard to enjoy when one's airwaves are saturated with headlines about Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and god knows whatever other manufactured shopping marker days we'll soon come across–days which seem to have lost all significance other than their relation to some other day in the future.
What about Fall, for the love of galoshes?
My irritation here isn't just about the woeful disregard for a near-entire season, delightful though this poor, readily-forgotten season may be (crunchy leaves, hot toddies, holidays devoted exclusively to food and clothing devoted exclusively to disguising the sins borne of holidays devoted exclusively to food, hats… what's not to love?). Nor is it even about the consumerism that reduces everything to a marker on the shopper's calendar, but something more. This hurry-up-and-break-out-the-tinsel business kills me because it is emblematic of our refusal to live in the moment. Our addiction to living in the future.
Some might say you have to plan for the future, lest you meet a terrible fate. Save for retirement or become a bag lady! Get to the dentist every six months or plan on forking over a significant chunk of that retirement money for Super Poli-Grip. Make sure the salmon has enough time to defrost or subsist on Ramen. All of which is fine, to a certain extent. But where is the line between responsible personhood and letting your life pass you by?
When I was a kid, looking forward to Christmas, the only way to temper my rabid anticipation was to mark each of the preceding 24 days with the yanking open of the properly-numbered window on my Advent Calendar. I'd wake up each morning and scream down the hall: "What's my numberrrrr?" Anticipation is a sleep-killer; I would wake up early, and I would yell until I got an answer. Whichever parent was less irritated with my antics would give me my number, and I'd suck down the chocolate drum or bell or whatever it was so quickly I barely allowed my taste buds time enough to register its flavor. And then I'd wait, desperately, for that day to pass. Rinse, repeat.
(One year, so excited I perhaps convinced myself that quicker consumption of the chocolate would somehow influence the space-time continuum in my favor, I opened all of the windows, and downed every last chocolate. Alas, it didn't work. Which was a bummer, as then I was left with no daily treat to look forward to. Only far-off Christmas. And the in-between time to mark.)
I marked entire years by holidays back then. How much longer until Christmas? Until Summer? Until my birthday? Until my sixteenth birthday?
Don't wish your life away, my parents would say.
I hated that line. Like I was a fool; like they somehow knew something I didn't. I'm not wishing my life away, I'd think, daydreaming about how much cooler my life would be once Santa brought me my roller skates, or when I could drive myself to the mall.
Now, of course, I look back and wonder, where did all of the time go? How many todays did I spend counting down to the arrival of how many tomorrows? How many carefree autumn afternoons did I fail to savor, how many crispy leaves did I forget to notice as they crunched under my running feet, ferreting me home to write my letter to Santa? Now, I can admit my parents might have had a point. (Might have had a point. I still hate it when they're right.)
Happiness scholars might view this affliction in terms of what they call the hedonic treadmill. It's a trap, really, characterized by when-then thinking. Like: when I lose 20 pounds, then I'll be happy. When I make a million dollars, then I'll be happy. When I get married, have a baby, get promoted, retire… You get the point. Of course, the problem with a treadmill is that, run as you might, you never really get anywhere. And what such scholars have found is that, no matter how much we believe winning the lottery or getting laid or changing jobs might make us happier, and now matter how giddy the anticipated thing might make us immediately, before we know it, we're right back to where we started. Happy as we ever were. But in a way, not, because, no sooner have we broken in those new roller skates than we're chasing after the really cool roller blades we can't wait for Santa to bring us next year.
Rinse, repeat.
Buddhists might serenely explain that the problem with futuristic thinking is that, by definition, it diminishes the value of the present. They're right, of course. Which ultimately sucks. Because the future never comes. It just hangs out there, in the future. And in the meantime, while we're focusing on it, we're missing today.
And so, I ask you. Must we really spend the remainder of this season, beautiful, slow, lovely Fall, focusing only on one day in the future–an admittedly splashy, gift-wrapped spectacle of a day… a day that, it's worth pointing out, happens to fall a couple of days into Winter? Please, let's not. As they in their imminent wisdom like to say, the present is a gift. Wouldn't it be nice if we could somehow take the focus off the future and instead focus on unwrapping what's right in front of us? And at the moment, what's right in front of me is that one remaining, not-yet-stale piece of pumpkin pie. And it is delicious.

I have spent time in Guadalajara and some time in the Yucatan, but I'm not clear on what kinds of outdoor activities are popular once you get away from the beaches. Also, how many native English speakers do you encounter in those smaller cities like Uruapan? Guadalajara seems to have quite a few, but I speak Spanish well enough to get by when I have to. What would be most important to me is not being the only North American around all the time. Call me unadventurous, but my Spanish isn't all that good and so my conversations are much more satisying in English than in Spanish. Also, if you can provide me with your general impressions of Uruapan and those smaller cities close to Guadalajara, I would really appreciate it.

It is a great place for leisurely walks, more serious hikes, and mountain biking. Also, other outdoor activities (other than soccer) seem to very popular here. There is a baseball league, many people play volleyball and basketball. They have a few outdoor sports facilities that are all very accessable. As far as other native English speakers go, there are a few of us here. Unlike in other places the foreigner in Uruapan is very much integrated into the mainstream society.....no ex-pat bars etc. There is a fair amount of tourism, so most people do just assume you are a tourist. There are also many locals that speak near fluent/fluent English so finding a conversation to suit your needs is not usually a problem. I hope this helps.

Get Hooked on ABACUS Bead Knitting with Betsy HershbergAre you one of those knitters who would really like to get on the bead-knitting bandwagon and make unique bead-knit jewelry, but can't face the idea of counting, arranging, and stringing hundreds of beads all at one time, only to find out you've made a mistake and have to start over?

I was a bit surprised to learn after purchasing Superlab recently that the program lacks the ability to import stimulus lists from tab delimited text files. We are currently trying to program an experiment with over 400 stims, and entering them one by one is unnecessarily time consuming, and could be made much easier and faster by allowing one to import stimulus lists and condition codes from text files.
Hi Brian,
You are totally correct regarding the need to be able to import a stimulus list from an external text file. We didn't realize this until this past June when it was brought up by two beta testers, but by then we were only a few weeks away from releasing the final version.
The import capability is one of the top 2-3 features planned for a future upgrade, but at this point I cannot provide any estimate as to when it will become available.
True lists for all stimuli types
In order to randomize and efficiently design order of presentation, text names should be allowed to refer to any stimulus type. If I want to present 30 pictures in a certain order, I want to order the file names in excel not try and move things around until they are in the proper order. Never mind if you have 300 picture files
Is it still the case that we can't copy and paste filenames into a stimulus list? I just upgraded to latest version thinking this would have been added in the year+ since I last coded an experiment. What's the delay? It's only been since 2006 that users have been asking for this basic feature!!!

Important Facts Regarding Abortion And The African American Community!
Planned Parenthood is the largest abortion provider in America. 78% of their clinics are in minority communities. Blacks make up 12% of the population, but 35% of the abortions in America. Are we being targeted? Isn't that genocide? We are the only minority in America that is on the decline in population. If the current trend continues, by 2038 the black vote will be insignificant. Did you know that the founder of Planned Parenthood, Margaret Sanger, was a devout racist who created the Negro Project designed to sterilize unknowing black women and others she deemed as undesirables of society? The founder of Planned Parenthood said, "Colored people are like human weeds and are to be exterminated." How is her vision being fulfilled today?
Minority women constitute only about 26% of the female population (age 15-44) in the United States, but they underwent approximately 36% of the abortions. According to the Alan Guttmacher Institute, black women are more than 3 times as likely as white women to have an abortion. On average, 1,452 black babies are aborted every day in the United States.
This incidence of abortion has resulted in a tremendous loss of life. It has been estimated that since 1973 Black women have had over 13 million abortions. Michael Novak had calculated "Since the number of current living Blacks (in the U.S.) is 31 million, the missing 10 million represents an enormous loss, for without abortion, America's Black community would now number 41 million persons. It would be 35% larger than it is. Abortion has swept through the Black community like a scythe, cutting down every fourth member."
A highly significant 1993 Howard University study showed that African American women over age 50 were 4.7 times more likely to get breast cancer if they had had any abortions compared to women who had not had any abortions.
You Can Promote Life!
From L.E.A.R.N (Life Education and Resource Network)
"When Christian ministers can help people connect the dots from "the love of money", "lust of the flesh", and "the boastful pride of life" to the branches of the wicked tree ("safe sex", racism, abortion, sodomy, "same-sex marriage", ad nauseum) then the Christian community will be able to discern, clean up our own house, and be in a position to speak and act with authority to deal with the problem at every level. And such a people will understand why its important not to just de-fund PP but to expose any and everyone who plays a part in their wicked schemes." For the King, -Ricardo Davis

Meryl Streep is a better actor than anyone who has ever walked the face of the earth. It's a simple, inarguable truth. Olivier? Overblown wind bag. De Niro? Wretched since "Casino." Pacino? "Jack and Jill." Brando? Hmmm, he's good... but he's not quite Streep. Lest anyone needs further proof, along comes Streep's performance in "The Iron Lady," an Oscar-bait biopic about for British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.
Unspooling 60 years in the life of the UK's first and only female prime minister, "The Iron Lady" chronicles Thatcher's personal sacrifices as she rose through the ranks of British government, and focuses, in part, on her handling of the 1982 crisis in the Falkland Islands.
The film reunites Streep with Phyllida Lloyd, the director of "Mamma Mia!" (which features perhaps the worst performance in Streep's illustrious career). Making full use of her shot at redemption, "The Iron Lady" proves that Streep has very few bad days at the office—that odious, fetid trip to the Greek Isles notwithstanding.
U.S. & World
But Lloyd might want to consider returning her focus to the stage, where she's reputed to have been quite capable. In a medium as graceful as film, however, she flails, lacking the delicacy the genre demands. Equally to blame is the script by Abi Morgan, who did so much with so little when working with Steve McQueen on "Shame," but does too much with too much here. By overreaching for a grand cautionary tale about the plight of women in power, Morgan and Lloyd both miss the mark, coming off as shrill and inexperienced; just what high-octane women should avoid at all costs. Luckily, they have the magic of Streep on their side and that is their catch-all savior.
While watching both "J. Edgar" and "My Week with Marilyn," we couldn't escape thinking, "Awww, isn't that cute. Look at Leo/Michelle trying to be this major historical figure." However, we were never transported by a truly immersive performance that went beyond hair, makeup or diction choices. But during "The Iron Lady," we found ourselves constantly startled, realizing, "Oh my god! Wait! That's Meryl Streep, not Margaret Thatcher." It's a consuming transformation by a true chameleon who makes all around her pale painfully by comparison.
Streep is divine and impeccable, but her director and the script fail her miserably, rendering "The Iron Lady" a paint-by-numbers biopic that's easily forgotten.

The NFL is still deciding how to discipline Steelers coach Mike Tomlin for his not-so-fancy footwork. New video, though, shows Tomlin inching closer to the field before Baltimore kickoff returner Jacoby Jones nearly collided with him in last Thursday's 22-20 win by the Ravens.
KDKA-TV in Pittsburgh released video Monday indicating Tomlin took a sizable step toward the field as Jones broke into the open, and didn't move until Jones was nearly on top of the coach. It wasn't early enough to stop Jones from moving to his right just before being tackled by Pittsburgh's Cortez Allen after a 73-yard return.
Tomlin said following the game he was watching the play unfold on one of the scoreboards and lost his ''placement'' on the field.
And Monday, he insisted to Jay Glazer of Fox Sports that none of his behavior should be seen as suspect.
"If anybody thinks I or anybody else would do this on purpose, they are crazy," Tomlin said, according to Glazer.
Steelers safety Ryan Clark said there was no malice in Tomlin's actions. ''There was no intent at all,'' Clark said. ''When he noticed he was in the way, he got out of the way. If he tripped [Jones], tackled him, it'd be a different story.''
The NFL fined the Jets $100,000 in 2010 when cameras caught strength and conditioning coach Sal Alosi tripping a Miami player on the sideline. Alosi was suspended by the Jets and eventually resigned after the season.
Coach Rex Ryan confirmed that he's sticking with the rookie despite Smith's struggles in the last several games.
''I believe in Geno,'' Ryan said. ''I think he has the tools to be a good QB in this league.''
Smith was benched in favor of Matt Simms at halftime of the Jets' 23-3 loss to the Dolphins Sunday, his latest brutal performance. The rookie was 4 of 10 for 29 yards with an interception and an 8.3 quarterback rating in two quarters.
''If it was a tactic to wake me up or get me going,'' Smith said, ''it definitely worked.''
Smith has one touchdown pass — against the Patriots Oct. 20 — and 11 interceptions in his last seven games.
A tough day for the officials
Redskins coach Mike Shanahan spoke with the NFL's director of officiating after the league said Sunday night's crew made an error on Washington's final drive. The league said officials should have stopped play and eliminated confusion about the down and distance at the end of the Giants' 24-17 victory at Washington. With New York leading by 7 just after the two-minute warning, a catch by the Redskins' Pierre Garcon on second and 5 was spotted short of a first down at the Washington 45. Referee Jeff Triplette signaled third down. But the head linesman, with the Redskins in a hurry-up offense, incorrectly motioned for the crew to advance the chains, which caused the down boxes to read first down. After Washington's incomplete pass on the next play — which many Redskins believed was on first down — the chains were moved back and the down boxes correctly reset to fourth down . . . Arizona coach Bruce Arians said there ''were obviously very many problems'' with the officiating in the Cardinals' 24-21 loss at Philadelphia Sunday and he has sent video of ''about 15'' plays to the NFL for review. One was a holding call on safety Tyrann Mathieu that negated Patrick Peterson's interception. Another was a holding call on linebacker Matt Shaughnessy on the Eagles' final possession. A third was a no-call when the Cardinals felt there was pass interference on an incompletion to Michael Floyd on Arizona's final possession . . . Titans coach Mike Munchak said the NFL told him officials erred on three plays in Tennessee's 22-14 loss to the Colts.
Foles has job 'next 1,000 years'
Nick Foles has locked up job security into the next millennium. Tired of answering the question every week, Eagles coach Chip Kelly said that Foles will be Philadelphia's ''starting quarterback for the next 1,000 years.'' Foles has led the Eagles (7-5) to a 5-1 record and a share of first in the NFC East with the Cowboys since replacing an injured Michael Vick in Week 5. He has thrown 19 touchdown passes and zero interceptions . . . Bears coach Marc Trestman insisted he made the right move when he decided to go for a winning field goal on a second down in overtime at Minnesota on Sunday even if the decision did not pan out. Trestman called on Robbie Gould for a 47-yarder that sailed wide right rather than run another play or two to try and get closer, and the Bears suffered a 23-20 loss . . . Broncos coach John Fox returned to work after missing four weeks following open-heart surgery. During his absence, defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio guided the Broncos, winning three of four games . . . Chiefs coach Andy Reid did not sound optimistic that he'll have leading pass rusher Justin Houston back for Sunday's game against the Redskins . . . Rams center Scott Wells is likely out for the rest of the season after he broke his left ankle in the first half of Sunday's 23-13 loss at San Francisco.

A World War Two German bunker has been discovered in the Gironde region of France after being closed and hidden for more than 70 years.
The bunker was built in 1943 in the middle of World War Two on the Arcachon Basin of Gironde on the west coast of France.
It was discovered and reopened by a local archaeological group, the bunker being part of the Atlantikwall on the French coast. The Atlantikwall was built during the German occupation of France and consisted of thousands of concrete bunkers along the coast of France, Belgium and the Netherlands and continued as far north as Denmark. The wall was the Germans defence against possible invasion from the sea.

What if I live in more than one state, or if I move?
Traveling from state to state isn't complicated under Obamacare, but there are a few points to keep in mind.
What if I move to a new state?
If you enroll in a marketplace health insurance plan under the Affordable Care Act and later move to a new state, you'll need to switch to a plan offered by the exchange in that state.
Your move is considered a qualifying life event, meaning that you can sign up for new coverage as soon as you move. You don't have to wait for the next open enrollment period.
What if I live in more than one state?
You should purchase a plan from the marketplace in the state you consider your primary residence -- where you vote, pay taxes, and so on. But snowbirds need to be sure they choose an appropriate "multistate" plan.
Some multistate plans may be restricted to a certain region – for example, a metropolitan area that straddles state boundaries. Others will be more appropriate for someone who migrates longer distances, spending, say, summers in Alaska and winters in Arizona.
Ask the insurance provider for details, and don't sign up for a plan until you're sure it will cover you where and when you need it.
What if I travel frequently?
Traveling shouldn't present any problem under a marketplace insurance plan. Simply sign up for a plan in the state of your primary residence. The plan will cover you in case of emergencies that happen out of state.

For more information about Obamacare in any state, including a link to the state's health insurance exchange, choose the state from this list.

The Architect of the Capitol (AOC) employs more than two dozen architects who work in different divisions across the agency with various roles and responsibilities. Some architects have the position of project manager, but the act of managing a project is a distinct skill for which they are trained independently of their professional background.
Many architects work directly within their chosen profession and have three general duties: execution of studies and design for projects, professional advice and guidance to the jurisdictions, and technical support to projects through reviews of consultant designs as managed by project managers. AOC architects also usually have extensive experience in historic preservation, which is generally developed through on-the-job experience.
"Each of the buildings on Capitol Hill was carefully designed and built, and we need to make sure we preserve and maintain what others created for future generations," says Mary Oehrlein, AOC historic preservation officer. Oehrlein continually stresses the need for regular maintenance, a task she compares to preventive medicine. "Properly maintaining the buildings is the best preservation."
AOC leads the charge in successfully reducing the energy used in the historic public buildings within its purview, arguably the most difficult set of buildings in which to attempt such reductions. In addition, the AOC is one of the few places where staff architects and engineers work directly with highly skilled, in-house preservation crafts persons on a day-to-day basis.
AOC recognizes that the ultimate goal in sustainability is the preservation of historic structures into virtual perpetuity: the buildings have no projected end-of-life, but are renewed over and over again. AOC employees are entrusted to preserve Capitol Hill's national treasures for Congress and the public to enjoy for years to come.
